PoliticsRe: Return Home Now, Afenifere Tells Southerners by Zither(m): 12:15pm On Jun 10, 2017
Alariwo2:
who takes Afenifere seriously? Useless back stabbers that almost sold Yorubas into slavery of GEJ and his Igbo backbones but for timely intervention of Tinubu, APC and other progressives.

The Hausa man knows the structure of Nigeria and they know those stubborn parasites crying secession. They have been asked to leave peacefully now till october 1 so why can't they leave? Why must they lump yorubas into everything they do.

They have history of bloody pogroms against these same Igbos in the North and not Yorubas. The Northerners see Yorubas as best friends which is paining the Igbos so much
Are you serious! You are in the comfort of your home typing rubbish confidently.

The hausas who have killed and slaughtered your folks almost recently you have the lack of thought to call friends? If they are your friends as you say prove it by going to stay in the North before Oct 1st and till everything has died down. Don't forget to walk openly when their violence starts because if you dare to hide or seek refuge anywhere your conscience will forever remind you that you are a breed of hypocrisy and cowardice.

Ur case is OYOangry

In as much as most ibos do not support IPOB before but since buhari borrowed Billions of dollars to fund railway lines in the north and west without including the east I think am now in full support of the IPOB.
You spoke my mind entirely. The majority of them are so ignorant that they don't get it. A good number of Igbos were never in support of the way IPOB went about agitating for Biafra. I was against their method and was really against the inciting comments by the respected Nnmadi Kanu but with the state of things and how the Igbos are marginalized and treated unfairly decades after the civil war I am in full support of a separate state. This doesn't feel like home anymore.

The United States of America also suffered civil war in the past but today they are making strides in the advancement of technology and the economy because they carried the whole Nation along in the formulation of policies and political participation irrespective of the ideologies of the individuals or groups in the country because they know that dissatisfaction will lead to cracks that will eventually make the empire crumble. That is what Nigeria refused to learn so the cracks have spread so much that collapse is inevitable.

You may disagree but you can never deny the fact that the spark of relentless agitation for a separate state by the Igbos has caused a country wide conflagration of like agitation and expression for separate states by other tribes. Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa, Niger Delta Republic, now Rondel...interesting.
PoliticsRe: Katsina Emir: "I Will Give My Blood To Protect Igbos" by Zither(m): 9:18pm On Jun 09, 2017
I keep saying it, Igbos come back to your homeland. No one can guarantee your safety in the North.

I wonder why the Yorubas are screaming as if the agitation for a separate state by the Igbos is a bed of hot coals under their feet. This same yorubas whom the Northerners have continued to slaughter at the slightest provocation even in their homes are here passing their vote of confidence to the Northerners for exhibiting their bloodthirsty intolerance of people only because it is channeled towards another tribe, and they even think many Yorubas will not be among the casualty of war?

As an Igbo I always opposed any argument in favour of a separate state because I felt that Nigeria is a work in progress and that we shouldn't give up on it easily. I felt we could still be one irrespective of our differences. However, looking at the tribal war that keeps erupting whenever the major tribes come together I am of the opinion that disintegration is the major solution. Intolerance has failed. The so-called NYSC scheme has failed woefully. Politics has failed. Mixing and mingling with other tribes of the country has failed. What else is left but separation?

I reiterate let my brothers and sisters return from the North. This was always expected. It was only a matter of time. Now is the time.

By implications you mean the destruction of their property and livelihood as opposed to the destruction of their lives in which case the latter is much tolerable and preferable to the former in your opinion?

I am all for peace but let no Igbo man or woman take this as an idle threat. The Northerners are known for their bloodthirsty ways. This is just an opportunity for the Igbos to make adequate preparations to leave the North peacefully.

Lloydfolarin:
.

One thing that baffles me in all this brouhaha is Igbos' hypocrisy. Where were your elders when Igbos were calling for genocide against Northerners and Yorubas? Where were you and your likes when that useless boy called Nnamdi Kanu was asking Igbos to kill Yorubas and Northerners without any provocation? I said it then that Igbos were(are) giving their support to Radio Biafra that was using war-calling and genocide rhetorics against Northerners and Yorubas but if other regions begin to operate the same hate-preaching radio station against Biafra, Igbos ll be d first people that would scream blue murder

The moment others react to your madness, your wailing and victim mentality set in and you begin to scream blue murder.
[b]It is gross ignorance to think every Igbo person thinks alike. Many Igbos condemned Nnamdi Kanu's inciting statements of hatred towards other tribes. I strongly condemned it and was of the opinion that his incarceration was deserved. I hate the appearance of anything that is not conducive to the peace of this country. Nnamdi Kanu has served his time and I hope it has taught him to become a better and wiser agitator for a separate State.

In the past the Oba of Lagos State made similar hate comment against the Igbos and you all rose to his defense justifying it that he is royalty but you strongly condemned the South African king who made xenophobic and hateful comment against foreigners including Nigerians. Secondly, this same Fulanis have slaughtered your people without the least provocation in your lands, something the Igbos who have dwelt with you for very long have never ever conceived yet you are here attacking the Igbos who have done nothing to you other than the 'crime' of their so-called chest beating and agitation for a separate state. The Northerners have always said and done 100 times far worse than Nnamdi Kanu could ever conceive but your hatred for the Igbos won't let you see that that is why you channel your grievance towards them. Who is the hypocrite? [/b]

Igbos return to your land. There is nothing like Nigeria. This is just a proof.

Yorubas, some of you are wise enough to condemn this action by the Northern youths but the ones who laugh thinking the Igbos will be the only one at the receiving end of violence are but fools not knowing that any war, violence has domino effect on other tribes in the country.

I am an advocate of peace but my advice to my brothers and sisters in the North is to return to their land to avoid unpleasant scenarios in the future.

verygudbadguy:

Even when the Yoruba support you guys, u still hate on them. I was the first to speak up against the nonsense threat issued by that Aboki group but it seems the igbos are hell bent on making us their permanent enemy. One thing you guys still haven't learnt is that you always need allies along the line. You can't surround yourself with just enemies. It will yield no positive result.

My 2cents.
Would you blame them for treating the Yorubas as an enemy when they are in an illusion of coalition with the North to detain the Igbos from enjoying their right of secession?

I am no preacher of division but I already see mighty cracks on the walls of this house called Nigeria. The inevitable collapse is just a matter of time like a ship waiting to sink.

I quickly greet hi good morning , as am walking away .Even if the person is way younger and even not my class . I still greet to avoid frictions and bad belle . Cos tmrw ,I may need them for something important .

Even my landlord as he is ? Greets first and bounces off to his car....no time mehn. He hates waiting for who wil greet first when he has other important things to attend to.

So op,try and chill that mentality of yours .Greeting anyone first will not kill u. Neither will u become poor afterwards .

Christianity EtcRe: Nigerian Lady, Oluchi Anne Says ‘abortion’ Is Not A Sin On Facebook by Zither(m): 4:30pm On Jun 05, 2017
@ topic : those in agreement with the facebooker on the issue of abortion are also in support of ladies abandoning their babies in refuse dumps or gutters or toilets since the mothers may not have the resources to cater for them.

I am curious. When does the foetus become a living being? At conception or after birth. Those justifying abortion should enlighten us. If at conception then snuffing the life of a living and breathing being, however little, is murder...a cold blooded one. If at birth then an explanation is needed to understand how a dead foetus is capable of breathing and having nourishment in the warmth of its cocoon for nine months.

dominique:
Even an in-law must walk on eggshells to massage the bloated ego of an average Nigerian man. This shouldn't even be a topic for discussion. Why on earth should a woman reject a gift from her own parent? Asking for permission means that there is a possibility of rejecting the car gift which is a huge disrespect to the father that raised her. So many rules and regulations a Nigerian woman must follow all in the name of "keeping her marriage". Nigerians can make marriage harder than rocket science sha.
The stupidity of most Nigerians as regards the marital institution is appalling. Why on earth should I request the permission of my son-in-law before I give my daughter a car as a gift or any other gift for that matter? My daughter whom I groomed, raised, toiled for her happiness, risked my health and happiness for her good and wellbeing, and every thing that goes with being a father...all the years I cared for her, loved her, stood by her side, protected her from the dangers of life, saw her become the woman she is and then a mofo from nowhere will tell me I should ask his permission before giving my daughter a car gift...

Amberon:
My own problem is that whenever I tell lies or commit any sin, it gets me down to the point I can no longer pray because I always feel I'm not good enough. I would have this feeling of hopelessness and something would tell me my prayers are a just a waste.
The reason why you feel this way is that you rely on your ability to fight sin. You lose and become plagued by guilt and shame. This scenario plays itself repeatedly.

Never fight sin with your strength. You will always lose the fight. Sin is like dirt. No matter how much you try or how neat you are you will always have some dirt on you at the end of the day. When you are stained with dirt you don't condemn yourself or feel hopeless. You simply wash it away with soap. You fight dirt with soap just as you fight sin with the blood of Jesus.

Condemning yourself and feeling hopeless after you have sinned is a sign you trust more in your ability to stand than in God's ability to keep you standing.

Remember, you will always fall. Falling is not a crime. Staying fallen is.

michaelwestern:
What kind of tithing did melchidezek practice?

Did Abraham ever pay tithe from his own personal possessions?

You have no basis to use Abraham to justify tithing because he paid it only once and it wasn't even of his own personal possessions.
Read my comment again for better comprehension. I never mentioned Abraham. Nothing in my comment has any connection to father Abraham as regards tithing. Did I say Jesus is a High Priest forever in the order of Abraham?



Should we also pay tithe once and forget about it?
You can do that if you can give back to God the earth and all that is in it. You would no longer owe God by doing that.


Now about the law, tithing is not among the 10 commandments, it is with the other over 400 laws given to the isrealites.
What is commandment if it is not a law? What is their difference? Tell me, what is the difference between killing found in the Commandment and killing found in the Law? Why is it still a sin today as it was then? How about the sins of adultery and stealing? Any difference in meaning as provided in the Ten Commandments and the Law?

Not everything will fall under the Ten Commandments. The sins of incest and homosexuality were mentioned in the Law but not in the Ten Commandments. Going by your argument these also should be done away with since they are part of the Law but are not among the Ten Commandments. Why then are they still considered sin today? They were only mentioned in the Law but still operate as sin today.

Now, if you can answer that then you will know why tithing, which was mentioned long before the Commandments and the Law, is still practiced today. It is a debt we owe God for using the resources that belong to Him to earn our living. The death of Jesus Christ does not erase the fact that the earth belongs to God and a tenth of the produce of the ground belongs to God by right.



Do you still obey this more than 400 laws listed in the old testament? Or you just made an exception for tithing? Do you even know all the laws listed in the old testament, or paying tithe is the only important one?
Question is do you obey the laws against fighting, adultery, homosexuality, stealing, etc? If yes then why did you make an exception for tithing? Selective obedience?


If tithe was so important, why didn't the early apostles collect tithe? Or you're more knowledgeable than them?
Do you know how the early Apostles ran the administration of the churches? How about the Pastors, Bishops, and Evangelists of that time? Is there anywhere in the Bible the activities of the churches are detailed as an example to others? Ask yourself, the money used in erecting church buildings, sending out Missionaries to other parts of the world, giving to the poor, the widows, the needy, to help them, such tasks, did they come from the petty offerings of the church? Tell me, since you know the workings of the early church, how did they pay the rent for the structures they used for their Christian gathering? The costs of repairs, transportation, furnishing, feeding, among others, how did they manage such expenses in spreading the Word of God? Faith? Offerings? The heavens opened and rained money for the daily upkeep and maintenance of the churches? Why didn't the early Apostles write about these things if spreading the Word of God is very important?

shebi na Christian platonic love
Lol. Like seriously? I believe agape love is a more accurate description of her expression.

Never listen to those who tell you tithing is not for Christians. They tell you that it was commanded in the Law but that we are no longer under the Law but Grace as a result of the sacrifice Christ made on the cross.

What they refuse to tell you is that it was in practice long before the Law was ever given. Melchizedek practiced it and guess what, Christ is a High Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

They don't tell you that the Ten Commandments - thou shalt not lie, kill, fight, covet thy neighbour's property, love your neighbour as yourself, etc are part of the Law but none will tell you they have been done away with through Grace. If that is so why did they do away with tithing - a universal command - but still observe the Ten Commandments? Because it was also included in the Law?

They will not tell you that even Christ Himself said "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God. So how does this apply to tithing? God said in His Word "The earth is Mine and the fullness thereof" "The gold and silver are Mine. The cattle on a thousand hills are Mine." Everything belongs to God. He commands we return ten percent of our earnings to Him because it belongs to Him. Not doing so is tantamount to robbing Him of what is rightfully His. Stealing is a crime that attracts punishment. However, obeying the command attracts blessings.

I am very glad you have determined to walk the narrow path. I suggest you read many Christian books to help you in your journey. The answer you seek may have been lived by someone else. Shalom.
Christianity EtcRe: Christian Life Is Very Difficult by Zither(m): 7:15pm On May 22, 2017
True, it is very difficult. That's why the Word of God said it is a narrow road and a narrow gate. Only few find it. The good news is that we have the Holy Spirit to help us on the journey.

A poor and suffering Christian is of much greater value than kings and kingdoms of unbelievers... You just have no idea how much more precious than gold you are to God. You are being refined. A royal privilege.

Christianity EtcRe: Jesus Asked Us To Preach The Goodnews Not To Condemn by Zither(m): 3:53pm On May 13, 2017
Juell:
I was on a bus ride home yesterday evening, wen a young woman started preaching. She started "if u wear trousers, u paint ur face, u put on weave on u're going to hell. If u're a man, u curl ur hair, u wear ear rings, u hav tattoos, u sag ur trousers, u're going to hell". She continued "I use to wear all these things b4 I got a revelation that I'll go to hell, so I stopped it". An example on how to reach out to lost soul was shown by Jesus wen the Pharisees brought a woman to Jesus accusing her of being caught in adultery. He told the woman "I do not condemn u, go and sin no more".
The best way to win souls is by telling them what Jesus did for them, and how dey can be saved, and not judge them. Most times wen feel u're judging them they'll just luck up.
In time she will learn. She should continue preaching by all means. Who knows? Her "judgmental" preaching may have saved a life from death. You never can tell.
