What happens to a man after he dies
From a biblical and spiritual perspective?

Since you mention the Bible, it so happens that the bible gives us a very direct answer. No anti-types of prophetic unravelling. It's as direct as it can ever be.

Ecc 9:5 tells us quite clearly - "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten."

Now whether you accept the Bible as a standard is another matter entirely. But as far as the Bible is concerned, there can be no better answer than this.

chieveboy:


You sound like the bible was written to be a standard for truth.

As far as Christians are concerned, IT IS THE ONLY STANDARD

Except you are not a Christian. In which case, the question was not directed at you ab initio.

I feel we need a young vibrant man like 35 to 40yrs

Am tired of these old fools

35 year old man?

So that you can snuff his life out at a tender age.

Your grandfathers (NATIONAL ni ooooo) are too greedy to let go. That was how Number one went to do idobale on world TV the other.

Failure is calling another failure a failure.

Somebody should shut this Atiku up jare.

Nigeria has not had a government for a long time.

In Nigeria, the presidency and any political office is seen as "it is my time"

How else did you think Number one came up with the idea of "Emi Lokan"

Emi lokan lati se kini?

The mentality is not one of service. It is one of unfettered access to opportunities to pillage. And right now, it is on a level of who pillged more.

The tall man in Daura spent 8 years pillaging. Despite the fact that we all knew what he did, no one.....I repeat NO ONE has called him to question. Instead it is Emefiele that is the whipping butt.

And that is exactly the problem here.

In this day and age.....in all the years that WAEC and JAMB has been in existence, an exam cannot be conducted seamlessly.

Writing exam at midnight? So those children are not human abi?. They are dogs or objects that you can just do anyhow?

NNTR:
Jesus with the parable of the rich man and Lazarus reasoned and revealed truths about what happens in Sheol after death, what on a typical day, goes on in there and also revealed how the waiting area place is divided into two sections with a chasm separating the two sides

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

It's interesting you bring this up.

It's also great that you CLEARLY highlighted that this was one of Jesus' PARABLES.

By definition, a parable is an illustration.

Considering the context of John 3:13, it is only logical to conclude that this parable is not to be taken literally. As with many of Jesus parable, the point was not to tell an actual event, but to illustrate a moral lesson.

The parable of the rich man and Lazarus (again, according to John 3:13, Lazarus could not have been in heaven) was merely a parable instructing on a vital lesson that sadly most professed christians tend to miss completely.

chieveboy:


They mostly go to the next place they frequent in their dreams.

Dreaming is technically death. We as souls cannot die and cannot sleep.

To exist on a material world, we wear a material body which helps us make with physical things.

While this is useful, it is also a handicap. We cannot through walls, talk to one another from distances, see the future, etc.

We however do escape the body while it is sleeping. We wake up and call our visitation of diverse planets and dimensions " dreams".

Dreams or OBEs are prove that people do not really die.

What is the basis if this reasoning?

OP asked from a biblical point of view.

The Bible does not teach this.

The Bible teaches that at death, Man knows absolutely nothing, can do absolutely nothing, and can change absolutely nothing.

When a man dies, if he is fortunate to get a burial, he rots to dust silently and in a dignified way.

If he does not get a burial, he still rots, but most of his fles probably becomes carrion for the scanvenger birds and beast of the field.

The soul that you say cannot die, well that's a lie Satan has propagated for years.

Even Angels are not immortal....how much less Man?

I went to a woman selling rice in my area, around Giwa after Iju Shaga.

I bought a bag of rice 56,500

I was happy because the last time I bought rice 3 Months ago was 69k and was praying it didn't increase.

I pray next time it will be 30k

How much is a bag of rice in your location

56k.....guy you sure say no be that rice wey dem curse you go buy?

Eye wey dey red anyhow for Lagos....Agege boys wey no dey here 1 dem don do 10 20

You just mentioned a name of a hamlet without

You better park well.. 😤

Hamlet?....Iju Ishaga?.....hamlet

My friend clear the potopoto for your eye first. No dey come embarrass yourself here.

CodeTemplarr:
Stop the useless back n forth. I gave you a solid example. Most MDAs run autonomously so stop saying cbn monetary policies affect them. Does it affect them when they steal?

You are not open to being reasonable.

I also just gave you valid indicators of critical CBN participation, but you simply just want to push your agenda.

Perhaps you are a stakeholder in CBN. Nairaland has all sorts of monikers so you really don't know whose behind it.

For all I care, you could be Cardoso or one of his pot-bellied minions.

In any case, have a nice day

CodeTemplarr:

Try harder. What is the Agric Minister doing? Trade & Industry? Finance? Naseni director? NUC and top schools?
If we suddenly produce double rice volume of we currently do, we can export to have dollar as well as crash prices and strengthen Naira. Thats a simple case scenario that strengthens the Naira without the involvement of CBN. I have always maintained and will always maintain that Naira strength is not a CBN or CBN governor thing. It is a productivity and export-readiness thing.
The attitude of past CBN gov, who take credits when market forces are favourable and indices experience improvements, has played no small role in this destructive trend. Even Wale Edun and Yemi Cardoso are doing same so maybe i should just the voices blaming them for Naira value decline. I wont do that. Never!

I don't need to try harder. Whether or not you agree changes nothing.

You are right that CBN cannot directly impact output. CBN won't plant seeds. CBN won't harvest crops. CBN won't hire workers on the far. You are right.

But, interestingly, you mention Trade and Industry. You also mentioned Finance. Are these sectors not directly impacted by CBN's monetary policies?

Credit availability, interest rates, exchange rates, and inflation. Are these not under the direct purview of the CBN? Do these things not directly impact the real sector?

That's the point. CBN does not play a direct role. Still, CBN has a lot to do. And we saw the impact CBN could make on the economy during the time of Sanusi.

Demand and supply forces are not the doings of CBN. Did Soludo or Sanusi bring dollars from anambra/kano to supply of dollar?
This is cheap politics.


If as things stand today, Nigeria improves forex inflow by selling ten times more cocoa, coffee and cotton, that will bring in more forex and undoubtedly strengthen the Naira, will it be the doing of a CBN governor that farmers improved their output? I can see you after cheap political bashing and not rigorous mental exercise to unravel soluutions. Ride on and be typing derânged things up and down.

What’s true:
- The CBN does not control how many bags of cocoa a farmer grows.
- The CBN does not directly set how many dollars flow in from exports or remittances.
- It cannot decree productivity into existence.

What’s also true:
- The CBN’s monetary policy directly affects lending rates, inflation, and access to capital, which can either spur or stifle production.
- Through intervention programs, forex policies, and its role in stabilising the financial system, the CBN helps create the enabling environment for those macroeconomic activities to thrive.
- The CBN is a co-pilot in national economic strategy, not a spectator.

The deeper issue is when a CBN is run like a profit-first investment bank, catering to the elite financial sector while neglecting its developmental mandate, that’s when you get public frustration.

Suppose the CBN isn’t thinking like a strategic arm of national progress in sync with fiscal authorities, trade, and infrastructure planners. In that case, it’s failing at its job, regardless of whether it hits profit targets.

Why na

Not good oo, abi US don broke?

Make them stop this tariff war abeg

The economy is not in a good state.

Most people living in US now complain like Nigeria .... "No Money"

And then you wonder......no money?......in the US?.....How?

Firebox123:
can't you see the payment receipt

Is that not enough evidence

Evidence that what?

Before the payment was made, were checks not conducted?

So you paid and drove the car out of sight of the seller. You as the buyer drove away from the seller.

And then you later came back to say something happened?

How do we know you have not tampered with the car?

What did you do between then and now?

You see why this receipt proves nothing.

Something doesn't quite add up.

If you took a loan from Palm Pay and had to wait 3 years to pay it back, you certainly should be paying far more.

And then again, what did you expect after taking a loan and overshooting the term?

Shocking report coming from Reuters.
Looking like what a typical Nigerian blog would write.
It takes an average of 3-5 years to harvest Cocoa.
So how can someone that went into cocoa farming in 2023,have harvested and sold that much by early 2025 or even 2024 when the guy interviewed would have harvested?
I hope Reuters has not been sold another agric scam because before you know it ponzi schemes would start exploding, telling people they will double their money in 6months once they invest their money into a cocoa farming programme with promises to buy hectares of cocoa that would be harvested and exported to the international market in 6months

Because they didn't start planting in 2023.

For your information, you are merely reading what has already been happening. The only reason this came out was because of the cocoa boom

Volkswagen could have had something like this in Nigeria

The day I got a chance to see inside Volks at Iyana Oba area, I was like wow.

Look rich...

People are so materialistic.

I don't care about looking rich. I care about being noticed.

Cheap cars that still get you noticed.....which one is look rich.

Look rich ko....rich look ni

Thanks.

But you can talk about it. You don't need to drop a link.

Oh and by the way, I know the platform you're talking about. It's not worth it. AT ALL. Just a bloody waste of time.

It's not even a real exchange in the real sense of it. It's just a pretender.

The best way to use etfair in Nigeria is through a bet broker

It’s the crass effrontery behind all of these statements that ticks it off for me. Not just the lies, but the arrogance with which they are told. Election rigging has now been so normalized in Nigeria that it’s practically a formal stage in the election process. It’s no longer about the people’s voice or the power of the mandate — it’s about how big your bank vault is, how much you can throw around to grease palms, mobilize thugs, compromise INEC officials, and sabotage opposition votes. That’s the new definition of political strategy.

What’s worse is how openly these acts are discussed, almost like we’re meant to clap for the audacity. We’re now watching grandfathers and fathers, men who should be custodians of wisdom and dignity, publicly boasting, unashamed, displaying crass stupidity and unrefined “monkeyry” (or shall I say baboonry) for the world to see. The global community watches as we act out our own national embarrassment, like jesters in a failed circus.

Nigeria has become a tragic punchline in the league of failed nations — a case study in how not to run a country. How can a people be so collectively impotent, and a leadership class so proudly inept, corrupt, and self-indulgent? The only real distinction between the average tout on the street and the average Nigerian politician today is the size of their loot. Strip away the stolen billions and the thugs in agbada are no different from the area boys they hire.

And then we have individuals like Dino Melaye — a man who embodies everything wrong with Nigeria’s political elite. Watching a grown man flaunt old luxury cars like a 24-year-old with a new allowance is both embarrassing and sad. It’s not even about the cars — it’s the hollowness of a life so desperately trying to mask its lack of substance with noise and flash. Is this the role model for our future generation? Is this what success looks like in Nigeria now?

Honestly, it’s exhausting. It’s shameful. And it’s dangerous. Because every time we allow this madness to go unchecked, we signal to the next generation that this is okay. That this is the way. That you don’t need competence, vision, or integrity — just a fat wallet, a thick skin, and a louder horn.

TWEEEEEEEEEE!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Trumpet mouth.

E get where noise go reach....e no go different from mad man shout.

It doesn't matter what you say or do, even if you hug transformer sef....it is settled. CR7 is already indelibly written in the anals of time as one of the greatest ever to play the round leather game of soccer.

CR7 will forever be a classic example of how any average player can climb on the pedestal of legendary glory by sheer hard work and determination. You can never take that away from CR7.

This is merely his twilight. One man does not win a match. It takes an entire team to win trophies.

If you cant see that, then you are just exactly what I called you....... a raving lunatic

This doesn't stop anything.

The problem is that systems have completely failed.

The Police - Corrupt

The People - Rabid and out of control
