ONY3KAH:
Matthew 23:23 KJV
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Jesus was never against tithing....

True. In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

sirBLUNT:
it wont because in nigeria we are use to shorting our word instead of typing fully not because we dont know how to spell but because we just love it that way..instead of typing because i will just type because..mine you nigerian's are the most intelligent and smart black people in the world even in america nigerians are more educated than the white

What do you mean by "shorting?" Does that word even exist in the dictionary?

savvy12:
I have dated him for more than a year.
I met him early last year when my dad was admitted in the hospital.
yeah,I was in relationship with him when I was dating the other guy because I was having some doubts about him.
The primary reason for refusing him sex is because I'm a virgin.I didn't say it here initially cos I know people will call me all sorts of name becos I'm a virgin at 27.
what have I offered him? our relationship was never boring.we discuss everyday and encourage each other.
He said he likes me and plans to marry me.But I told him to wait small.

Please cut all ties with the doctor. Stop dating him. You are not attracted to him, so there is absolutely no reason to continue dating him. He would feel that you were simply leading him on.

As for the Canada guy, ask more detailed questions from him. Doesn't he have family members in Nigeria? What about friends? Investigate his background, until you feel comfortable. There are no guarantees that things would work out between you both. You might meet him in the flesh, and get totally turned off. How is he planning to get his citizenship? Is it by marrying a Canadian citizen or by applying through another route? Ask deep questions and make sure you get correct answers from him. Investigate his claims. If he appears vague, hesitant or shifty, dump him.

Then go out and meet people. Attend conferences, seminars, events and workshops. Let God direct you. You might meet a genuine, honest, attractive, single man that you would end up falling in love with, and could end up marrying.

None, because it does not fit into their programme.

So why were you citing the multinationals as an example in your previous comments?

Uchihaitaci:
Let me summarize

I am in my late thirties and single

Nor because I wanted to be , I was engaged, we both flew went to her village for traditional introduction, came back to Lagos went back to work (then was working off shore)
Had to come back suddenly due to an illness drove to her house saw her ex making love to her.

After ,three years of love and agreed no sex till after marriage??

I lost it and today I am a 38 year old well to do single man with trust issues

Moral of this tale?

Never stay with a woman who says no sex till after marriage unless she is a confirmed virgin

Sorry about your situation bro.' But the truth is that your ex-babe would still have cheated on you with her former boyfriend, even if both of you had been involved in a sexual relationship. Truth is that she still had feelings for him and too many unresolved issues existed between them. That was why Okafor's law happened!

bigpicture001:
honestly,i would do d same if I were ur guy..he is a close person as close as a fiance,he must be thinking of keeping you as a wife..now tell me,what wil prove to him that you wouldn't use this ur senseless tactics in.marage during quarrels..we are here on nairaland nd read frequently, how marriages break up cuz of deliberate sex starvation by the women..you want him to see trouble and jump into it..for you,your ego is still tied to year waist..wen ur ready to settle down,we will all know

Did you read her side of the story before jumping in to type this crap? The guy is secretive, refuses to tell her anything about himself, gets angry when she rejects his money, and only wants to sleep with her. If she was your sister or daughter, would you give her the same advice you just dished out here??

Ginaz:
Abeg shift one corner. cos someone is abroad means they can't be dated? What is so big about the abroad that you tagged her a gold digger ? Is abroad heaven? Your way of reasoning is very low if I may say. People find love across continents it doesn't mean it is done for money.

Jeeez, such a mentality you have!

Thank you, o! I thought I was the only one thinking the same thing. Can't you see the gibberish she was spinning from her mouth, or should I say, keyboard?

shugamummy:
Congratulations on dating abroad guy...That shows a gold digger you are...also understand you dont know what you want in life at 27. By 30 you will be just a wash cos guys of 33 below cant settle down with a babe of 30....thats a stark reality....for obvious reasons.....the made guys you will have then will be in the shoot of 40.....so Gold digger decide if you wanna settle down and rough it with a man after ur heart or keep hoping on abroad guy and keep digging.....as far as am concerned,you are not dating anyone....dont come here to cry...he broke my heart....cos sex is the only valuable stuff you have shown you possess

Listen to yourself. So you think you made sense with this stuff you typed here? Mtcheew....

igbodefender:

Good. The main reason for this debate finally rears it's ugly head. Tribalism. I was beginning to wonder why it was taking so long to expose itself. I'm done with this deceptive discussion that has ugly layers of tribalism overlayed with a thin veneer of civility.

What is tribalistic about my post? Did I mention anyone's tribe? Why are you seeing things that do not exist? And where is it written in any of the govt guidelines that approval to construct refineries or to refine products is dependent on tribe??

When people like you run out of valid points, they start playing the victim, and making wild allegations like you have just done. Isn't that why you reached for the tribalism handle and started waving it like a flag??

igbodefender:
Licensing has to be available not just for the big players but also for the bit players. Take refineries for example: Multinational oil companies operating in Nigeria and some other firms have licenses to operate refineries but have not used it to establish any. But here a entrepreneurs successfully operating mini refineries and you are discouraging them.

You see, I do not like going back and forth on issues like this, with someone like you who knows next to nothing about such stuff. Pls do your groundwork before deciding to quote me next time.

Name one multinational company that has applied for a refining license and obtained one, without doing anything about it.

Next, name one illegal refiner who has applied for a license and was denied approval.

After you have done your homework, we can take it from there. Until then, I will ignore your ignorant postulations. Thanks.

igbodefender:
At present, there is no legal channel for the 'illegal' refiners to go through. None whatsoever. The closest government has come to creating those channels is Vice President Osinbajo's announcement of an intention to licence modular refineries. Since then we have not seen any implementation.

Bros, pls do your research and find out what modular refining is all about. The guidelines to getting a refining license or setting up a modular refinery have all been published and are in public domain. Ask your brothers, the illegal refiners to comply with those guidelines and buy crude from the owners of marginal oil fields, for refining.

igbodefender:
Same goes for mining. An article posted here recently by Blue3k quotes Minister for Mines Kayode Fayemi as stating that Nigeria loses billions of dollars from illegal mining. Why not license these guys so they can pay taxes?

Do you know anything about mining in Nigeria? There are the registered miners with licenses etc. These ones use large equipment, get licenses and operate legally.

Then you have the individual artisanal miners or small-scale miners who are subsistence miners. They are not officially employed by any mining company, but rather work independently, mining or panning for gold using their own resources. These ones are not interested in getting licenses or following regulations. They just want to extract the gold and solid minerals, sell it in the black market and pocket the money.

It is like cab drivers. You see the registered ones and the unregistered ones, everywhere. The unregistered ones are those drivers who use their oga's cars to do kabu-kabu simply because they just want the money as quickly as possible, and are not interested in the rules, licenses and regulations.

Soms89:
All this for $40 per barrel lol. Nigerian banks get ready for liquidation. Oil won't rise till 2030

Don't be so pessimistic. And there is still a large market domestically for refined products, which is not likely to decrease any time soon. All West African countries are also heavily dependent on refined petroleum products and that is not going to change in the short term.

igbodefender:
They did not break into anything because they were given licences, access to bank loans,etc., to operate legally from day one, not turned into fugitives for being enterprising.

Good. So you can now see how you have been comparing apples with cocoyams. The shale oil entrepreneurs went through the right channels, before they even started their businesses. Your illegal refiners refused to even go through that route, but decided to break pipelines and steal crude. There is no comparison between both groups.

igbodefender:
That Sir, is the purpose of the proposed legalization: to regularize their activities. Licence, regulate and tax them fairly. Any of then that continue illegal activities after fair licencing regime is introduced can then be called thief or whatever you chose to call them. If Nigeria were a Western country, those entrepreneurs would be appreciated not derided.

Go and see how the US is pampering shale oil entrepreneurs and you will know why we are in poverty and recession in this country. You don't discourage your entrepreneurs (they are hard to find). You regulate them.

Did shale oil entrepreneurs break pipelines and steal crude in order to produce their shale oil? Please stop comparing apples with cocoyams.

...conclusion....

 I paid the two thousand Naira and waited. The man stamped on the document and wrote on it with red ink. I noticed that he did not write the amount received by the Court on behalf of government, as is the custom. He directed me back to the lady who sent me to him . He said she is the one to take me to the Commissioner for oaths .

I was irritated by the unnecessary back and forth, but I was determined to see the end of it .

I did not bulge. I told him that it was either he gave me the receipt for 2k or I go to the court registrar.

At that point, he went out quietly without a word. I did not know if he went to get the receipt or my money. I looked through the window and saw him outside calling the staff to gather my money. It was then I knew that the loot had already been shared (it was close of work and I was the last customer). They had to send someone to call one of the staff at the gate to bring his part before entering a taxi home.

The oga soon returned to the office with my #2000 and asked for hundred Naira. I gave him #100. They wrote #100 on the affidavit with red ink and gave a receipt reflecting #100. The same receipt they said they didn't have.
#copied

Thank you for having the courage to refuse to accede to their demands, and to insist on seeing the whole thing through to the end. Thank you for not giving in to their extortion. Thank you for foiling their plans to defraud you.

If only more people would stand up for what is right, and expose corrupt practices wherever they find it, a lot of things would change. It could take time, but it would make a difference. The sad thing is that people prefer to just fall in line with the unscrupulous demands made by these corrupt officials, and then they run to social media to lament about how bad the country has become. It is sad....

igbodefender:
Buhari legalise the so called 'illegal refineries' and watch Nigerians smile anytime your name is mentioned.

As long as the owners of the so-called illegal refineries pay the prevalent dollar price for the crude they wish to refine, to the govt. They cannot be breaking pipelines to steal crude for refining, and still expect govt to legalise their illegal refineries. They are all thieves.

Oya, continue this story. I don put my bottom for chair dey wait. Shey you take the 2k set trap for them, abi you fall mugu for their own trap, ni?

Apologies about this sir, must have been an oversight. Kindly call us now as we're available at the moment...

Hello, I sent your details to a female friend of mine at Forte Oil station in Lekki area of Lagos island. She called your number, and asked you to install a tracker in her vehicle. Just wanted to thank you for the prompt service, you gave her. She is still so pleased with your product and services. Well done.

HIV is not real ; doesn't exist. Its media propaganda and just a thing of the mind. No one has ever really had the so-called AIDS.

Did you go to school at all??

paybak:
yea, yea, yea.. Ondo state is so close to lagos though just some parts.. That's why most of the Niger Delta millitants after terrorising lagos run/move quickly to my state to hide.. They use that very same water way.. I pray Akeredolus' brain would work to such extent. Cuz there is money and little job for him to do. So i pray he thinks real hard and link ondo state directly to lagos en route ogun using the water ways.. The two/three govt can even collabo on that.

Your head dey there, my guy! You are correct.

paybak:
at least they can't claim Ogun state belongs to their fore fathers this time. I'm really happy about that. My state (Ondo) is next.

They should just develop the waterways in Ondo state. I hear from Ondo waterside and Ogun waterside, it takes 45 minutes to get to Lagos by speedboat.

Badonasty:
while ipob keep developing other people's state

That is the only thing they are good at. They tried to drag Lagos, by claiming it was a no man's land. We are waiting for them to lay claim to Ogun state, too. Shiorrr...

Dee60:
People forget that Oil has been found in Lagos!

And by the way you dont need to have oil to have a refinery or a tank farm! One person farms cassava and another person somewhere else processes it into garri.

And there is nothing wrong in ND setting up refineries and tank farms. It depends on your priorities and the priorities of those who rule.

I remember GEJ sharing a ND master plan. It was so gorgeous. People were happy. But after 6 years I doubt if 5% of it was achieved! That is why I get dumbfounded when 'his people' defend his government like no man's business on NL.

Wa' sere! God bless you for reminding them about the oil in Lagos. Where is that pained clown that was lamenting about Niger-Delta oil?

Theleutenant:
yorugbas reaping where they did not sow

Niger delta oil

Niger deltans should wake up from their slumber please

Niger-Delta...what? So the oil produced in Ondo State is not part of the total quantity of oil drilled in this country? Ondo State is the 4th largest oil producing state in the nation, and it is located in the Southwest. Try not to kill yourself over this info. It is not only the Niger-Delta that produces oil.

Ishilove:
This is very deep and profound. When you waste your life and put your family into agony because of a failed relationship, life will still continue for others. The world will keep moving while you rot in the grave.

Before contemplating suicide because a man or woman jilted you, please think of your parents and how much you will hurt them.

The pain of heart break is temporary but death is permanent.

So true!

Everyone's hating on this girl when she's got straight bread in her bank account hahaha . No wonder why most people never prosper, they're too worried about other people...

Na sugar daddy's bread dey her account. She should just own up and declare the source of her wealth. Without the open disclosure, she will NOT be able to earn anybody's respect or admiration, ever again! To be a runs girl, is not a day's job.

macof:
I am not talking about Bembe na... Bembe's family have already come out to disgrace the old fool.

But Akiolu never said Lagos doesn't belong to Yoruba. He cannot

Oh, so you too saw their rebuttal? Especially the part where they claimed clearly that they were Aworis?

jomonic:
You're dead wrong. Joe is living his dream. He knows just what to say to attract your sympathy and earn more Naira from your government coffers. He understands your mood and pretentiousness to sophistication so he highlights this all the time. Most of his position on the Igbo tend to align with the perspective of Yoruba about the Igbo. Things like Igbo should be grateful to their hosts; and similar rubbish. How can one be a guest in his own country? No one heard his voice when the Oba of Lagos issued threats on the Igbo which most of you justify even though we operate a democracy. That's so much for saying the truth to Igbo.

How sad. Your response just proves what I was saying earlier. You are even blaming Joe Igbokwe, for not taking Oba Akiolu to task over his remarks about the lagoon, when over 18 of your Eze Ndigbo in Lagos were in attendance on that day, and even clapped for the Oba?? Why didn't those people say anything? Now you are blaming an Igbokwe who was not even at the location, where it all happened. Okay, we have heard.

Reverend Dr Uma Ukpai, who is a renowned preacher and the founder of Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association (UUEA) has revealed why the Igbo people lost in the 1967-1970 Civil war, explaining that there were gross immorality among Biafran leaders during the war, KINGSLEYIWU.com.ng exclusively gathered.

72-year-old Dr Uma who made the revelation in a sermon titled: "Father's Blessing" shed tears during the sermon, saying he sometimes ask God why he is an Igbo man. The preacher in the sermon blasted the Igbo people for being arrogant and proud, explaining that even if he preaches till tomorrow, the Igbo man will never shed tears because his heart is hard.

Revd Uma said that during the war, the Biafran leader never seek God for victory and never made any prayers during the war, describing Biafrans as Judah in the bible. He further explained that Judah after committing sin will go back to God for repentance, but the Biafrans never went to God.

The preacher said he would not call names but if he calls, he would tell the congregations the number of women the Biafran leaders were carrying at once during the war, explaining that sometimes, a Biafran Soldier would capture a lady because she is beautiful.

He however went on to commend the Igbo people for being wise, knowledgeable, hardworking, but yet many crawl through life because they fail to acknowledge God.

"And even after the war, no one has asked why we lost the war", Uma Ukpai said.

. Hmmnnnn....and till today, they have not told themselves the real truth about why they lost that war. They prefer to blame other tribes for their misfortunes, and rely on propaganda to build their case! Pity.

I sorry for this couple sha.

Noise is never good for marriage

Am telling you! Too much publicity killeth a marriage. Can't they learn from Dare Art-Alade and Joke Silva who have kept their marriage out of public domain? If Adesua farts, it gets into social media. If Banky W coughs, they hurry to post it. Hmmnnn..... I feel sorry for this people, o!
