PrecisionFx:



The unification decree didn't affect the 3 regions in nigeria, For the 6 months Aguiyi was in power, Each region were running itself n sending 30% to the centre.

Find that degree n read the whole of it, u will likely find it hard to translate, show it to a lawyer to help u out.
It was Gowon that destroyed regional government in nigeria and not aguiyi ironsi. Ironsi unified mostly the security aspects of the country like the army, police n many other aspects. He NEVER unified the economy of nigeria, he didn't end the regional government.


Forget online falsehoods some useless n hopeless people have been carrying around.

Thanks for the enlightenment, I'll make a research on it.

PrecisionFx:



And what are the damages done by him that have strangled nigeria for over fifty years

We are clamouring for restructuring now, a system we do practice before Aguyi Ironsi came up with the unification decree.

Sirheny007:


God..who taught you history??
Did you know Aguiyi Ironsi came up with the unification decree after the Jan 15 1966 coup?
Of all the Military leaders Nigeria has had, he was the best. If you know nothing, say nothing.
I beg you to name the damages caused by him.

Check out his military appointments. No tribalism! he even went as far as inviting criticism from his brothers!
He was ill advised and it got him killed.

Yes, that's why we are crying for restructuring now

The best military leader Nigeria has had?

Were will you put Murtala Mohammed

Aguyi refused to punish those responsible for the first civil which triggered the second.

Just few months in office, he caused a lasting damage. Him and Gowon are the worst ever.

kabakaauu:
It is not by force, if you are worried of them owning jet, then start your own church. Shot put and talk about the injustice that is going on in Nigeria. All you are looking for is how to fight the churches.

your first line is just like saying if you are worried politicians is eating our money, join them instead of condemning them.

Your last line is like saying a fight against politicians is a fight against the country.

Sense fall on you

lereinter:

we ve tried yoruba, hausa, ijaw, fulani,

result has been same

common sense lets try igbo

yu say they will break the country there is nothing wrong with that

ahaa buhari u dissapointed me

Aguyi Ironsi an Igbo man ruled us and we are yet to recover from the damages caused by him.

Till today we still cry for restructuring because of him

Incompetence has no tribe. For example, Nigeria is littered with bad state Governors in every geopolitical zone.

African man in suit

Fela, I think say you no be gentle man

South East has the worst roads in Nigeria, but no ongoing road construction there.


One of the reasons I didn't support Jonathan was because he abandoned the South East.

Stupid Government

They want to islamize Zambia. - Nigerians

Eteriayaoba:


Ogbeni, there is no 'good work' he is doing that should be continued!
Of what benefit is this his controversial opinion to the society? None as far as I can see.

Not everybody pay tithe either because of their believe, their opinion or their pocket!
Since he has the energy and means, he could channel this to profitable engagement that others can benefit especially low income earners.
He is becoming a nuisance I beg, I for one, I am tire of his unprofitable ranting.

Seems you do not follow Daddy Freeze at all.
He has been preaching giving to the poor Just like Christ commanded, he has been against giving rich pastors money in the form of tithe because it's unbiblical.

He shouldn't air his opinion but pastors are free to air theirs, right

femi4:
go back to your previous comment

The first verse you qouted was before the existence of Israel and the rules of tithes.

The second one is after.

So I don't get the point

femi4:
Amos 4:4-5

“Come to Bethel, and transgress; to Gilgal, and multiply transgression; bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days; offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill offerings, publish them; for so you love to do, O people of Israel!” declares the Lord God.

So what are you trying to prove with this verse?

I don't get your point.

femi4:
The first tithe (Gen. 14:19–20) And he blessed him and said, ... The priest attributes Abram's victory to God—possessor of heaven and earth—and he blesses Abram. In gratitude to God's authority and blessing, Abram gives Melchizedek a tenth of his possessions.

This was before Israel. The rules of tithes haven't been established by then.

Omenka, which one is your mama

femi4:
Tithing is not right or wrong. Its a form of giving. Bible only frown at giving grudgingly. Whatever the Pastor do with the money is between the Pastor and God.

In motherless homes, people do visit them with gift items and food but a times the people working there do divert these stuff for personal use. Did that stop people from giving to motherless homes

Tithing is not a form of giving.

Giving to who, Levites?

Cash payment as tithe isn't allowed.

Obiano is my Governor and he is the proverbial one eyed man among the blind men.

Why should exchange a one eyed man for a blind man?

1StopRudeness:


Freeze is wrong because new testament giving involves giving more than 10%...and pastors don't preach it because of baby Christian in church. Mark 11v42-44 Jesus commended the widow that gave all she had than others that gave more out of their many riches...
Acts 4v34-35 records new testament tithes and offering , how pple even sold their properties to the advancement of the gospel because they were not giving to obey the old law, they gave out of love. Chapter 5 records how a husband and wife were not truthful In their giving... Nd they died for it...
1st cor16v12 Paul gave instructions that they must continue to contribute every first day of the week. So that when the money is needed when he comes for it, there will be no need 4 emergency contributions.
These things are biblical, pastors don't even preach it cos it's hard for immature Christian to digest. But pple like u and daddy Freeze won't read d bible... U just get angry when u see cars and private. U start to feel is ur offering...
So it's all these 100&200 naira offering that buys jet.? .... U guys can't even do rough estimate mathematics......
I'm sure u don't hear the news... Last week the ghanian University commission and a representative from the federal government gave 500acres of land mass to winners chapel together with tax holiday that they should come build covenant University in Ghana. Later pple like u and freeze will say it's ur tithe and offering..... I've done the maths... Tithes and offering can't build schools or buy jets let alone maintain them.

All those passages you quoted were talking about offering, not tithes

codedmr:



Your username shows clearly what has taken over your reasoning faculty.

Okay

These ones are not like Boko Haram oh. This ones hit strategic places strategically

codedmr:



Yes! and yes!!

Be informed, a number of non Christians pay tithes, I currently have a friend who never jokes with tithing even though he's not a Christian. The reason is simple, they are cognizant of the multiplier effects of the action in their finances.

But, really, tithing or not shouldn't be as controversial as you take it. If you think it works for you, do it, and if you think it doesn't, so be it.

But I know the end we justify the means.

Tithe isn't a community or constituency project. So why exactly do you expect people to announce to you when they do? It's personal.

Okay. How did you get to know Bill Gates and Alakija pay tithes

I'm yet to see anyone that has tried to prove Mr Freeze wrong, all they do is attack him.

Is tithing right or wrong? If you think it is right, come up with Bible verses to support your claim. Daddy Freeze came up with Bible verses to prove it is wrong to tithe.

Daddy Freeze, continue with your good work.


#FreeTheSheeples

Imagine the jokers � we have as lawmakers

codedmr:



Abaa! At least say what you know. Bill Gates tithes.
Mrs Alakija does as well, and so many others.

Find another means to make your senseless point.

Bill Gates who isn't a Christian but an Agnostic tithes?
Alakija, Babaginda's front?

ericsmith:


what evidence or proof do yu av to show that richmen on forbes do not pay tithe,, moreova its 10% of ur earning not cumulative wealth of any mogul.
its important u deep reason b4 yu comment,,hence yu just shot ursef in the foot..

Simple, only a handful of billionaires are Christians and being a Christian is one thing, paying tithes is another. Most Christians do not pay tithes.

BabaCommander:


No devote Christian will ever want to be on forb' or frog list. Christian's hope is heaven, not worldly pride.Whatever resources a devote Christian has is for the propagation of the gospel and helping the less privileged.

Yes, you are right. I do see your devout Christians helping the less privileged.

Your pastors are the less privileged

Ejomax77:
Good... you aint even sure if they pay or not... now do you know how much bill gates spend annually to held fight malaria in africa?... ok... that's more than 10% of his annual income! yet he's world richest...why?

Bill Gates started giving that much after he got to the top of the ladder. He wouldn't have got there if he started giving such an amount before he got to the top.

Ejomax77:
See someone talkin bout most of the men in forbes list! lemme ask you;
which church BILL GATES dey go?
Which church WARREN BUFFET for baptize?
AMANCIO ORTEGA nko what bout OPRAH?
If u no fit answer then keep qwayet and stop commentin what you don't know...
You said somethin bout dem bein unable to compete with the richest if they pay their tithe(i.e 10% of their income)... Do you know the amount WILLIAM HENRY GATES spend on Bill and melinda gates foundation annually? yet he's stil the world richest.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are agnostics.
Amancio Ortega and Oprah are Christians doesn't mean they pay tithes.

The funny thing is that those opposing Freeze's tithe view never support their claim with Bible verses just like Freeze does.

Funny, he said you will be poor if you don't pay tithes, but most of the men on Forbe list do not pay tithes. You can't even get to Forbe list if you pay tithes, you can't be giving 10% of your wealth to church and still be able to compete with those that don't.

slimhomiequan:



ffuucckk you!!!

I guess your father is one of the militants and depends on the stipends for his survival and the survival of his wayward son

Avatarmodest:
Whats the reason for the opinion. Just curious.

This has been discussed many times on nairaland.

Tithes is old testament

Tithes are meant to be paid by isrealites only

God mandated the other 11 tribes of Israel to give 10% of their income to the tribe of Levi

Levites are not allowed to own properties or to work.

Monies are not accepted as tithes.

sylviaeo:
U don check if her own dey?

She once mentioned she was circumcised

SageTravels:









Because you are not part of the recipients

yes, because I'm not a criminal

They shouldn't be paid.

The monies should be used to develop NigerDelta and not given to terrorists.

Only in Nigeria do we pay criminals to stop committing crime.

We have many agencies that can be deployed to guard the pipelines, not criminals
