Kloenboi:


He said that when you have fully settled wherever you find yourself, you will realize that Nigeria needs you.

Nigeria needs help oga

You are right. That is what he said.

I only paraphrased “realise” to “when their eyes clear”

The truth is that Nigeria needs them , whether they realise it or not.

But I wont argue against the argument that one may have to solve his own problems before he solves that of His country.

But those who are thinking of what they can do for their country or communities, above what their country can do for them , don’t think of “Japa” as in running away, escaping to any and everywhere, without a sense of purpose.

Stop being stupid
The stupidity of our fore fathers is enough

The same white that deceived our fore fathers just to get what they wanted from them as at then are not the ones sacking a Nigerian nurse in the UK just because she was praying for a patient

Same man of God called suleiman that could not rely on God's prayer for his protection and hurriedly jump into a bullet proof car

Do your investigation and research on top ten countries that believe in prayers, God and spirituality and also do another research on ten countries that doesn't give a fuckkk about God, prayers and spirituality you will see that those countries that does not give a fuckkk about God are progressing and developing.
The human mind can be conditioned to believe in what does not exist and the mind will adapt to it..that is exactly what the white men did to our forefathers. But now we this smart generation reject those rubbish


I know stupid people like you will pop up and quote me. Please before any one quote me again ensure your brain power is top notch

Christianity, religion and God is an embarrassing human practice of convincing the mind to ignore common sense, logic, reason and evidence while blindly believing in ancient fairy tales.
It encourages it’s followers to value faith over facts and reality. It makes it’s followers proud instead of being ashamed of their ignorance.


Let’s leave Christianity and religion aside for starters.

1. Are you saying there is no creator? Or source of all creation?

2. If yes, to “1”, do you have proof?

3. If yes to “2”, please share.

Then we can take it from there.

The headline is highly misleading and most likely written to sensationalize his statement.

He neither endorsed Japa syndrome nor encouraged them to leave.

On the contrary, he says that Japa will create opportunities for those left behind to even compete globally. He also added that when the eyes of japa-items clear, they will realise that back home is where they are needed.

Change this irresponsible headline

The ministries, departments and agencies prepare their various budget proposals. It is for the presidency to review, probe and prepare the final budget for presentation.

So simply because the project was not started by your administration it should be completed by your administration?

So even if the project is of no real functional value or economic significance it must be completed simply because it was started?

So even if there are more pressing economic issues , the project must be completed now now, in 2024?

Religion / Re: Will A Sinner Who Pays Tithe Make Heaven? by TheGift: 4:33pm On Dec 03, 2023
BananaPeel:


Tithing is a commandment and others such as offering,giving to less privileged etc. is a proof of your love for God. Only tithe has a formula and that's the reason a lot of people talk it down.

I know that this thing you are saying is not based on personal study but what your pastors have said.

It has a formula that was under the Law. Believers in Christ are not
Under the law. And if we claim be following the formula, then why are we not
Paying tithe as God clearly laid out in Deuteronomy 14 and 28?

As believers in Christ , we are not our own, that is to say that even what we have is not our own but we are stewards to use as pleasing into the Lord. Now if I decide that 100% of my
Money is available as God wills for me to use, will you still come
And ask me for a tithe ( 10%)? From where.?

Tithe is based on the Law, and any one that I still under the Law is under bondage, for by the Law shall no Man be justified.

Bunkum and balderdash!

Did he replicate same gestures in Anambra, and what was his achievements and legacy`s?

Coming from same man who stashed money in safe havens to avoid taxes and investigation!

Anyone can scribble the gibberish he put up there.

From the way Peter talks, one would think he has some outstanding legacy`s on ground which puts him in position to make such composition, but the reverse is the case. Even the present Governor of Anambra attested to the fact that, poverty increased in the state during his administration, and here we have same Peter oinking on what's not!

It is clear you did not read before you wrote your response “ bunkum balderdash”. Don’t let your hatred for one Man translate to a fear and hatred for the obvious truth- assuming the number of FG delegates are as high as they say.

And Whatever you want to say about Peter Obi You can’t say he was wasteful with state resources- especially traveling with an entourage , so the answer to your question is YES, he replicated same as what he preached When He was in government.

jesusjnr2020:
Will A Sinner Who Pays Tithe Make Heaven?

If we go by the teachings of Jesus, he certainly won't make heaven.

Jesus said "unless you repent, you shall likewise perish!" Luke 13:13.

He also said no sinner shall make it into heaven. Matthew 13:41.

So do not deceived by those church leaders who preach tithing above the most important things in the law, such as, repentance of sins, that have made many sinners in the church think that it is more important to pay tithes than to turn away from their sinful ways.

They are blind leaders of the blind just as the Pharisees in the days of Jesus who did the same thing, but Jesus called them the "children of hell" regardless of their paying of tithes because inwardly they were full of iniquity. Matthew 13:15,28

So although paying of tithes is a good thing, if you don't repent of your sins, it cannot save you from hell!

You need to repent of your sins!

God bless.

This question is irrelevant, because contrary to the prevalent false teaching, believers in Christ are not under the Law the PAY tithes, rather they should give freely as they have received freely, each Man should give as He has purposed in His heart. Not under compulsion, but willingly and cheerfully for God loved a cheerful giver.

2. Did you see her being buried in the ground by spirits or by worshippers of the gods who said no Market on Orie day?

3. So after the headmaster burnt the idol, the worst the idol could do was throw stones on his roof at night? Sounds like little children or disgruntled idol worshippers playing pranks to me.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Released Hostage Says He Was Held By UNRWA Teacher In Gaza. by TheGift: 11:03am On Nov 30, 2023
Shoodboi:
Danielle Aloni, one of the hostages, wrote a letter to Hamas after her release, thanking them for the care they showed for her and her daughter. Below is a picture of her, her daughter, and the letter.

Lifshitz, another hostage, after her release said "Hamas treated us gently and met all our needs" during a media interview.

And yet, one person we don't know, who doesn't have a photo, claims he was held by a teacher while another said he was held by a doctor.

How did he know he was a teacher?
Did the teacher come there with a lesson note to teach him?

Let's keep the propaganda rolling. Yesterday, Israel shot and killed Palestinian two children in Jenin, in the West Bank. One was shot in the head. The other was shot several times in the body.

Similarly, Israel bombed Al-Shifa hospital this morning with artillery, breaking a man's leg at the knee. (Till today, they still haven't shown us the tunnels in Al-Shifa.)

In another video, Israeli soldiers had a Palestinian man kneel in their front while they opened fire on God-knows-who.

You all won't report that. Nairaland mods will never take those kinds of topics to the frontpage.

But once, it's one about Israel, they throw it quickly to the frontpage just to keep the propaganda going and justify the killing of children, pregnant women, and premature babies, and the bombing of schools and hospitals.

So you just sit down in your house , thousands of miles away and decide which of the hostages you will believe? Why can’t they both be saying the truth.

“Hamas was gentle with us” … after massacring over 1000 people in the most brutal way, is the funniest argument in support of Hamas that I have heard.

I really think we Africans should stay out of taking sides on this conflict because neither the Jews nor the Arabs give a hoot about black Africans , to them we are monkeys and slaves , yet we are here fighting each other over two brothers of the same Father (Abraham/Ibrahim) who are unable to resolve their differences.

When I was with my wife I never cheated on her, loved her and she knows... I think the only issue was my unstable finance then and her parents ungodly attitude that really irritates me( I should have managed it better though).
We have seperated and her divorce case in court but I don't stop thinking about her against all odds.
I have dated NUMEROUS ladies while she left yet it doesn't help me forget, whereas, she never look back...

Divorced persons, how do you forget! I want to feel love again. I cannot marry or be with anyone if I don't love them, sex is truly overrated. Your suggestions pls.

Hmmmm… I have not had this experience before so I have no specific advice. But ultimately I know that our lives our ours to live and everything that comes to us in life is temporary. We need to let go , especially of things that are truly gone. If we don’t let go of something’s we will never discover even greater things in store for us. We live and we learn. Nobody has it all together. The most important thing is not your marital or social status but your internal status. Your sense of self , that is not driven by ego, shame or pride. But by equanimity and self acceptance. All things can actually work together for good.
