Problem i have with some ladies they don't check whom to settle down with, is after the wrong choice is make that they realized they are in wrong place. May God help you

How many people go for proper guidance before marriage ? How many of such guidance places exists today ? Our social fabric is really weak in of systems and structures setup to aid institutions like marriage. Two consenting adults just decide we want to marry, and that's it. They re living together. No checks, no balances, no counselling, nothing in our social and value structure is setup to ensure pitfalls such as this is spotted and prevented early. So, boys in the stature of men and girls with women stature are in whatever their concoction of "marriage relationship" is.

Nwaokunkpara:
Why is it usually so hard for women to leave an abusive relationship but can easily let go off a good and loyal guy 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Misplaced understanding of hat love and acceptance is - some ladies believe that violence is a show of love; he beats me because he cares for me and I should not offend him - Stockholm syndrome.. if he does not beat me, that means he no longer cares for me... Wrong exposures..

Renewal of mind, and build up of esteem is the answer.

Blazetrailer:
He already messed his reputation up. Whether he was paid or not is immaterial

I disagree, you can't change a system from the outside. When given the opportunity as a "saint" to serve your fatherland, take it, do things differently and let it be said you were completely different after your service period lapses.

Lets say he was sacked.. its definitely not likely to be for incompetence but for conflict of interest in the area of clash of vision. I suspect that the Vision he has could not fit into the usual lackluster-ness of the "usual" aides in government.

But if you think of it critically, I suspect he must have resigned having seen "things" that the mouth cannot say for now.

voortrekker966:
No wonder your stay was short. Nobody without skeletons in their cupboard is allowed to serve in government of any black nation.

This requires some journalistic work. It would really be nice to know why he left the job

maestroferddi:
Propaganda platforms taking resounding humiliation badly...

its interesting. Own the media, own the world... its quite interesting that one of the powers of the rulers of the world of darkness is being decimated. Propaganda of the far-left is a danger to the world, and we need to really wake up with stronger counternarratives. Thank God for Elon

Bobloco:
Nuhu Ribadu is clearly speaking from experience, having once dared Tinubu during his time as EFCC chairman, when he described Tinubu as a criminal with an international dimension to his case. He went further to state that Tinubu would never escape justice and would face the full wrath of the law.

Today, however, Tinubu has appointed him as his National Security Adviser, the same Tinubu Ribadu once described as an international criminal.

Truly, nobody dares Tinubu and win.

Exactly what ran through my head when I saw this. It shall be well with Nigeria. We must change the narrative that allows the worst of us to lead the rest of us. practically and prayerfully.

N50billion is the full cost of acquiring 100% shares of Polaris bank. Yes, there is N1.3trillion bond to be repaid but how long will it take to pay this bond? Have the new owners of Keystone, Mainstreet and Enterprise bank paid bank the trillions CBN/AMCON used in bailing them out? Do they really pay this money back in reality?

In addition to inheriting the liabilities of the bank, they also inherited the assets and liquidity of the bank. Since we don’t have access to the financial statement of the bank, we can’t determine if this is a good deal or just a gift to some friends or front of the CBN governor as the assets and liquidity may even cover the entire liability.

Strong points there. This is what I am suspecting..and its my postulation:

1. Skye was in deep shit as capital had been eroded due mainly to very poor risk management practices particularly credit risk
2. With capital erosion, Shareholders funds was already in negative, there is no way they would have enough assets (fixed or current) that will cover liabilities as we would have net liabilities position
3. So the N50bn purchase may just be even fair to begin with...
4. there is no way realistically then that they will be able to pay back the liabilities, it will most likely be written off/forgiven. Otherwise, it will be an albatorss on the bank and may even later jumpstart looking new investors or something


Either way, its no easy ride as people may be looking at it.

DonroxyII:
SCIL would Pay the Previous Investors the Market Values of their Shares thus No Investors has Lost Any Money as You Acclaimed.

The Problem is What was the Share Values of Skye Bank and the Share Values of Polaris ...

The Bondholders would be taken Critical Care of First and Since 100% has been Bought SCIL has Inherited the Bonds which would have been Restructured but the Equities Holders would have Been Paid Of Outrightly Possibly from the N50B.

SCIL is the Sole Owner of Polaris with a Bond of Over 1trillion Naira on their Balance Sheets!

My take on this is that it is very likely the acquiree has negative position, i.e. net liabilities; and by extension has negative retained earnings. The bonds instruments you are talking about are liabilities with coupon rates on them isn't it ? So the total cost of acquisition will like be the N50bn cash payment and the liabilities to be paid over time ?

Bomboiy:


Anyways,he should pick a northern Muslim so that Obi can sweep Christain votes.

Don't fall for this. It is not sacrosanct. Not every Christian subscribes to it.

Cheers.

Enwhen:



If u r mentioning 1993, u also have to go and trace those people in the north that mobilise s for late MKO then and where they are now... Pls do that , u will see that u r contradicting yourself... Nigeria political trend changed since 1999... I must say this , 1993 election is one of the best election so far free of religious and tribal sentiment , which is far from reality in today politics and u know this ...the south needs to be United , else Atiku will be our next president under PDP, even Baba Buhari said it last year , that if the APC fails to settle their differences , he will be the last president under APC.

But how do you think the South can work together ? I don't see it clearly..Tinubu, Starboy (as you call him), then Ameachi... Hard to see a collaboration between these three..

For Tinubu, there is still the dilemma of picking a vice who would not be a Muslim.. who can that be ? I would have expected the vice to be able to pull the northern votes.. but which Northern Christian can command that kind of followership? So, a southern president with northren vice seems to be much easier with Ameachi and Starboy..

But politics is never mathematics sha.. Just one thing can derail the strength a any candidate..

With a few changes, they will likely remain in the premier league. The old squad can't likely sustain them, so they must make some changes via some investments in key departments if they must remain, else, the prophesies of relegation will come to .

Wike ought to know that faithfulness in little, like a state is what guarantees handing keys of the kingdom (Nigeria) to someone.. Will his state residents objectively give him an excellent score for a scorecard as governor?

Banhammy717:
Osibanjo was the Head of Economic Team that took Nigeria from frying pan to fire.
A dollar was 160 Naira before Osinbajo and Buhari came on board, but now 550 Naira. You guys know how much is a bag of rice now compared to Jonathan regime.
Osinbajo, Amaechi or Ngige will only add salt to our injury.

Who- are you touting then?

UncommonLogic:
Lying untrustworthy mumu. He will lose so bad that he will become the butts of jokes. Even the ones pushing him now will make fun of him
Just wait and see.

If it were you in his shoes, can you list two reasons why you would not throw your hat into the ring ?

AmazingELixir:



So you didn't see the police to report these names to.....

It is becoming very obvious affluence and strict upbringing ain't enough to determine how a child turns out....the society is the real deal and until we're ready to change our value system our children, brother, young and old people alike will continue to be influenced by societal dictates.

Nigeria is in trouble our educational system in shambles...was ing through Agege the old day just when the public schools around that area were closing for the day..the attitude displayed by the students on the road that very day left me in shock....the other people I was riding with told me I've not seen anything, that almost all the students I'm seeing there have all been initiated by one cult group or the other.

These young guys, boys and girls alike were literally flagging down vehicles and walking right in the middle of the roads like they own it.

This breaks my heart. I have seen it too.

A generation is dying culturally because values have disappeared and the sad thing is most of these lads never knew better; its the only thing they know and how they think it should be; that anyone not like them is the bad egg. What a drag most of these end up being except providence forces a mind change.

We need prayers and serious work as those who know better to force a change.

These guys don't care about reducing their bogus costs. They will rather that the country continues to borrow to fund its deficits and transfer the burden to generations yet unborn. They really don't care. They will only pray that oil prices rise again (which is nearly impossible). Even efforts at increasing the revenue base is so flippant. I am not happy to say it, but I really expected much from this government when I voted for them.

Things are tight for the country, yes, but the government (FG and States) also have not that they have the mettle to be creative and sacrificial in solving the economic crises that has greeted them.

Spurs have been the better side thus far by all means. They have been able to curtail the "sharp" attacking force of City thus far while taking their own chances excellently.

See that substitution!

My son go cry today because City dey lose this one.. I don't see a coming back at all.

Goshen360:


A million "like" for you!

Things are not been put in proper perspectives that is why you have 73m+ people voting for Trump. Information is power. Misinformation is death because it is also lack of the correct knowledge, which causes people to perish.

I read that article and i was blessed primarily because it revealed the hypocritical attitude of many so called Christians in the of Trump. One cannot be hiding behind a finger. If you are going in, go all in, no cherry-picking of what suits you and turning a blind eye to heavier matters.

BTW, i can't see the likes o lol!

duality:


What you wrote are your thoughts not mine.

What I wrote is clear for an open mind. ( Don't want to say spiritual for now, even though it is)

I'm not out for argument. Things like these are foolish to the simple.

My point is clear anyway.

Just the same way we told people in 2015 here in Nigeria. It never made sense until it was over.

Just the same way the children of Israel insisted they want a king until they got Saul.

I repeat, it's very difficult to help humans when they are being deceived.

Your views are interesting. I don't disparage them. At all. I believe we are having a matured conversation here. So, let everything come to the light.

Comparing this to Goodluck Jonathan I think is a very hard attempt. The first time I voted was for Buhari in his first term because i just wanted Jonathan out, not because of religion, but because it became very apparent that he had lost control of the reins. Nothing else. IN order not to derail this thread, i would have loved to pose teasers to you on Buhari versus Jonathan for you to see surprisingly that Jonathan may not have been better after all despite the challenges the economy is facing right now. If however your observation is not based on the numbers but on ethereal matters, then i rest my case.

To begin, Trump has been there for 4 years. How has that worked in your views with respect to what "mandate" you believe he came to serve? How has he spiritually checkmated evil in the to the advantage of the USA? Economically, what has he done that is novel? As a model, how has he impacted the moral and other fabrics of the country? Also lay it bare what he has done politically to the benefit of the US.

Baawahala:

Yeah,I chose to follow him,the Elijah's way...
I work as the spirit leads...

Lol! Fire!!

Your chariot na 5G ?

Baawahala:

If Jesus is fraud,may you be safe but if Jesus be the saviour, may you live miserably for the rest of your life.Amen.

Not necessary. Don't have to fight for Christ. Saul turned Paul ?

Don't sweat over these things. It is absolutely not necessary. In fact, when you respond to such, you make them animated and kind of giving them a sense of validation.

Just let them be. Lots of people have done worse only to turn around. You therefore can, and should pray that the Light of Jesus hit them hard. Such will love Him the hardest in turn. What better fun is there ?

Really sad story.

Emekaonline:


You are free to pray for whoever you want but all I know is that my true God through my Lord Jesus Christ is not unfair, unjust, impatial and never unrighteous to award someone the victory that does not belong to him. You guys need to be careful so that people who are not stable in Christianity may think that God is that unrighteous to take what belongs to someone and give it to another. True God does not act that way

Truth is, anything can happen. God can do ANYTHING.. However, that we think we can force His hand and change His will concerning a situation is where many Christians miss it. We don't know His grand plan for a place, territory, country or continent and as such cannot be praying to satisfy our emotions especially when it is not according to His will.

The question I ask is, why do these people think Joe Biden cannot be used by God ? Even the devil is a tool in the Hands of God. So, we cannot be myopic to think only Trump has been sent y God when in actual fact, He may have only played on the intelligence of half-baked believers who have not taken time to ask God for what His will is even for what they are praying about. Hence, praying amiss! Needless prayers in the first place.

Sitting on the lesser matters of LGBTs, Abortion, and all that can cause you to miss what the real deal is. If true Christians take their place, all of those can be mitigated largely.

Trump can pull all the strings he wants, if God does not want him back there, it will all end in vain. So, lets grab our pop-corn and enjoy the malignant Trump and his episodes

duality:
They called GEJ a devil. They said he was not a Christian. Etc...

The links and threads are too many.

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/2117506/also-denounce-christianity-voting-gej


One of the strongest power of the devil is deception.

It's really very difficult to help humans because of the power of deception.

Today, people will rather they had GEJ as president.

I thought they said Osinbajo will be there to run things.

You can hate those who Trump. That's left for you.

Whatever you allow on earth shall be allowed in heaven and whatever you disallowed on earth, shall be disallowed in heaven. This is very important for people to understand.

If you twist the desire of the devil to align with the the principles found in the scriptures, it's left for you.

If I ask the person who wrote this article, this question (WHERE IS THE SOURCE OF COVID 19 AND WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT) he won't be able to say anything. That's how bad things have gotten.

A lot of people have been deceived and they don't know why they do what they do.

The original writer of the above article have been deceived.

What are your fears with Biden in? New World Order? LGBTQ, Abortion ? etc ? ALl those things did not start today. Some of them have been since bible times. Its not today. Biden will not hand the world over to the Devil. The Devil does not need Biden to get control of the world. He already has it even as the Bible itself acknowledges. So, what exactly are the fears of Trumpists ?

johnhood:
we are tired of news concerning trump

Lol! Don't be. A lot of people seem to believe that who the president of America is has a direct influence on their chances in life one way or the other. I don't subscribe to that news though, but since there are some people who do, then the conversations must continue.

Trump being an interesting personality, of course will always crates news which you cannot ignore unfortunately. We are seeing the rise of Trumpism and selective amnesia by some of us who claim to be Christians, excusing away lethargic misdemeanors of the man just because a lot of people believe that they can legislate scriptures when this is not a Theocracy. Its a democracy.

To our friends, brothers and sisters, those who believe they know God or that Trump has a "God-given mandate", well, you may be wrong. See an article by an Evangelical in the US... A striking point from the article is this: "If God can use Trump, then He can as well use Biden" He is God right? What can't He do ? So, we have to stop analysing for God as if we know His grand plan for America or the world politically. As it is now, only if the electors turn faithless in the US, and that is not less than 37 of them decide to vote for Trump, then can he become the President. 37 of them. Michigan is lost, Georgia is certified,etc. Have we even bothered to ask: Is Trump, God's plan for America ?

Don't turn your responsibility of correcting the moral decadence in LGBTQs, abortionists, etc., of the earth on government, it is the job of we disciples to do that. If we are losing the war, then it is because our light is not shinning enough. If the US is losing the war against social derelicts, then it is because they are not deep enough, practicing enough, and lacking in enough power to cause a revival and spiritual change. Don't hope a government will change anything, whether republican nor democrats. They are sides of the same coin if you understand deeply what is going on.

What we need to do is lose religion, and find our true selves in Christ. It is not religion, that is the opium of the masses, faith-filled relationship with God through Christ is the game changer. Not Religion.

Enjoy this article. I may repost it on similar threads.

The Final Evangelical Reckoning of Donald Trump By Joe Forrest - Nov2020

After five contentious days, the 2020 Election has been called for President-elect Joe Biden. That noise you hear is Lady Liberty exhaling a long sigh of relief.

And, though Donald Trump may tweet to differ, winning doesn’t have to come at anyone else’s expense. But, first, let’s rip this band-aid off.

To my fellow Republicans, you can do better. I know you can do better. There are respectable conservative men and women of high moral character that you can rally behind. It remains to be seen whether Donald Trump is an aberration or the “new normal” for the Republican party. Please let it be the former.

To my fellow Democrats, you’re not off the hook. There’s a lot of work to be done. Serious work that affects the safety, security, and well-being of the marginalized, vulnerable, and underprivileged. And when the final election demographics are sliced and diced, it will undoubtedly be those people who delivered you the presidency. If you forget them, they will . The American people are not tools to be leveraged for victory; for democracy to work, we must believe in the systems that delegate power to those elected to represent us and have faith that those in power will be good and honorable people.

To my fellow Christians, we have a lot of repenting to do. I’m not sure what a cultural post-mortem of the “Trump Years” will say about American Christianity, but I doubt it’ll be kind.

President Trump may have made the Church more powerful (for a time), but he didn’t make it more loving. I know more people who have left Christianity as a result of the overwhelming Evangelical of Donald Trump than have become Christians for the same reason. The stain of Trumpism on the Evangelical witness will not blot out without considerable time and effort. Nothing has left me more heartbroken than watching the very people who once taught me the virtues of walking in righteousness unabashedly champion and one of the most immoral, egotistical, vain, dishonest, and corrupt men to hold the office of the Presidency in modern history.

But, policy over personality, right?

As Peter Wehner wrote last month in The Atlantic, “By overlooking and excusing the president’s staggering array of personal and public corruptions, Trump’s evangelical ers have forfeited the right to ever again argue that character counts in America’s political leaders.”

An “ends justify the means” philosophy toward governance has no place within the Christian faith; Do not tell me that character matters in my personal life but has no bearing on the people who lead this nation.

I’ve made my dislike and distrust of Donald Trump and his presidency very obvious during the past four years. For some of you, that may totally invalidate what I’m about to say next. But, during those four years, I’ve watched high-profile Evangelicals write thinkpiece after thinkpiece defending Trump’s appointment to the presidency as “the divine sovereignty of God” to spite the evil “Leftist agenda.” Let me be clear: If God can use the reigns of King David, King Cyrus, and President Trump in spite of their immorality to bring glory to His name, then he sure as Hell can do the same with President Joe Biden.

I know a lot of good people who voted and ed Donald Trump. And they’re still good people. And if you voted for Donald Trump this election cycle, it’s my prayer and hope that you’ll eventually be able to exhale a sigh of relief alongside me. Because you’re free from the heavy burden of Trump’s yoke. This is not a plea to reject conservatism or your values. It’s an invitation to finally walk away from that man and everything he represents.


At the same time, Christianity during this period has yielded some incredibly vibrant and beautiful fruit. Christianity coalesced under the heel of the Roman Empire as a religion of “women, slaves, and children.” To see some Christians, especially the younger generation, seriously grapple with the interwoven Biblical themes of justice, liberation, hospitality, and reconciliation have been the most dazzling silver linings of this entire ordeal. Many of you have been awakened to a fresher understanding of Jesus’s message, untarnished by the corrosion of nationalism and populism. I’m excited to see where we go next.

Listen, this is not one of those cringey “Now, can we all just get along?” posts. But, Republicans, you control the Supreme Court and the Senate. Democrats, you have the White House and the House of Representatives. If there was ever a time to prove that all that bipartisan “reaching across the aisle and healing our divided nation for the betterment of the American people” talk wasn’t complete and utter bullshit, that time is now. Full stop.

Regardless of the final election outcome, We, the American People, are tired of it. We’re exhausted. We don’t want a sequel to the American Civil War. We cannot maintain this level of partisan-fueled ferocity and cruelty. We cannot withstand more misinformation campaigns, conspiracy theories, scientific denialism, social media algorithms, and cultural gaslighting. If we continue at this pace, we will burn down, and we’ll have nothing to show for it but the taste of ashes on our tongues.

America is ephemeral. All empires collapse in on themselves eventually. Or, in the words of the prophet Isaiah, “All nations are like a drop in the bucket.” But people matter. And character matters. And it’s time for us to hold our leaders able.

I can’t tell you if America’s darkest days are behind her — that’s kind of up to us to decide — but we need to acknowledge that calling ourselves “the Greatest Nation on Earth” doesn’t make it true. That’s not something that really exists.

Though I celebrate today, I know a Joe Biden presidency will not solve our nation’s problems. But maybe we can start talking again. Maybe we can take a breath and enjoy the silence left behind in the vacuum. Maybe we can choose to make politics less toxic. And maybe we can dream of something better.

But we’ll have to continuing fighting for it.

For liberty,

And Justice.

For All

Joe Forrest.

Sedentary resumes: Again, Have we even bothered to ask: Is Trump, God's plan for America ?

Daneguakhi:


This is disgusting.

Please lets stop suspending sense.

No need to worry too much or get worked up really.

Sometimes, we come to learn that the world is not black and white and that you can be dissapointed when your beliefs don't pan out. Eventually, you become more matured and are able to move past your ignorance because you don't and can't know all things.

I expect the Trumpists to read the article above by Joe Forrest and get a more rounded view of things.

Cheerio

Whatever they do, they will round it all off before inauguration day or earlier. That is the amount of time Trump and his legal team have to turn this in their favour (if they have any chance). Never say never. We are sure their institutions are strong enough to withstand the apparent irascibility of these players

hotseat:
This is a veritable reason why the North would continuously resist restructuring. Without the South, the North would remain doomed.

Shameless parasites!

Cross check that fact again. Juxtapose it against what each of the regions were contributing to national purse in the 40s and 50s, you will see that the North can comfortably hold its own. Don't subscribe to those who say the north amounts to nothing potential wise.

Many of the environmental factors that made them lead in revenues back then are still there. I can't say much for the political factors however.

It is well
