The advice that Paul gave people, were some times seen to be too authoritative, and a lot of people feel they can challenge whatever he says, not knowing that he is speaking according to the spirit. He spoke with sincerity, great assurance, and this form of boldness, make people to misunderstand him, and the good messages he talked about, were always help. Eventually those laws, are meant to be adapted for good doctrine, and usable for all the lifestyles of the men, and women in the congregation. The apostle had made them understood, what they needed according to the Holy Ghost, showing them the mind of the lord, in the appropriate way. 

This words, or doctrines are seen as changeable, or avoidable by a lot of the church members, especially the comments about the lifestyle of people. His statements at this point, was regarding the covering of the hair by women, he made them to note the reasons for that, in the right accord. The apostle enumerated the importance, of covering the hair of the women, in the church, speaking particularly about those who are with long ones. God made those wonderful things upon the head, but he wanted all things he made, to be used for his glory and not in any abusive manner. 

Paul made his remarks, touching the aspect of the covering, to make sure there is orderliness, and good behavior in the congregation, and not like the world. They have those hairs, for their beautification, not for the distraction of anyone, and definitely not for show off, therefore they are mandated to keep it concealed. With all challenges, as regards his statements, which must have mostly come from women, he wrote to them, to give his final advice based on that matter. Gospel might be for the free people, who are not slave to sin, anymore, on the other hand, the free believers, are supposed to live in the right way. Flaunting jewelleries, clothes, and exposing hair for the purpose of distraction, or show off, is not a godly behavior, men and women must have right coordination. 

Those who were not in agreement, with the apostle, must have not understood the purpose of his remarks, and in general, the importance of being decent. To close up the matter, he told them that, he had just told them the acceptable thing, and in other places, they follow the same truth, without any complain. Likewise, the other teachers, like him, were insisting on doing the same thing, ensuring that their churches, comply with such rules or doctrine. And that, he is not giving them his rules, or thinking according to what he felt, rather, he is providing them the right standard, of how they ought to coordinate themselves in the churches. 

Of a truth, apostles like Peter, must have also be in strong compliance, with the aspect of covering of the hairs, and the same goes for those who walk in the spirit. People may not see the doctrines, given by Paul or some other disciples, as very mandatory, but they are all good for our sake, and the sake of others. Thanks.

The House of Representatives was piqued by the reported insertion of clauses in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) allegedly ceding Nigeria’s sovereignty to China in the event of the failure of Nigeria to pay back several loans worth billion of dollars sourced to build infrastructure like roads and railways across the country.

The Green Chamber has, therefore, summoned the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, his Communication and Finance counterparts, Ali Isa Pantani and Zainab Ahmed respectively to appear before it on Monday, August 17, and provide details of the loan agreement between Nigeria and China.

The revelation of the alleged insertion of the clauses in the MOU, which seemed to threaten Nigeria’s sovereignty came into the fore as the House Committee on Treaties, Protocols and Agreements, last week, began an investigation into the loans taken by the country from 2000 till date, with a view to reviewing all loan agreements and conditions signed by the federal government.
