Christian virtues as a character


As a Christian, there are certain character traits that are often emphasized and encouraged. While individual interpretations and practices may vary, here are some common expectations of character for a Christian:

1. Love and compassion: Christians are encouraged to love God and love others. This involves showing kindness, empathy, and understanding towards others, regardless of their background or beliefs.

2. Honesty and integrity: Christians are expected to be honest and trustworthy in their words and actions. This includes being truthful, keeping promises, and living with integrity in all areas of life.

3. Humility: Christians are called to be humble and acknowledge their own limitations and shortcomings. This involves recognizing that all people are equal before God and treating others with respect and humility.

4. Forgiveness: Christians are encouraged to forgive others, just as they have been forgiven by God. This involves letting go of grudges, offering grace, and seeking reconciliation when conflicts arise.

5. Faithfulness: Christians are expected to be faithful to their beliefs and commitments. This includes being faithful to God, to their families, to their communities, and to their responsibilities.

6. Generosity: Christians are encouraged to be generous with their resources, time, and talents. This involves sharing what they have with others, helping those in need, and being good stewards of the blessings they have received.

7. Servanthood: Christians are called to serve others selflessly, following the example of Jesus Christ. This involves putting the needs of others before their own and actively seeking ways to help and support those around them.

Inclusion 
It's important to note that these expectations are ideals to strive for and that Christians, like all people, are imperfect and may fall short at times. The journey of faith involves continual growth, learning, and seeking to align one's character with the teachings and example of Jesus Christ.

The Negative effects of screening Ministerial nominees by the Nigeria Senate without stating their portfolios?

Ochili Michael
Senate Transmits Names Of 45 Confirmed Ministerial Nominees To Presidency. Some of the nominees includes:  from the North-West are Badaru Abubakar from Jigawa State, Mariya Mahmoud (Kano), Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo (Kano), Ahmed Dangiwa (Katsina), Hannatu Musawa (Katsina), Dr. Yusuf Tanko Sununu (Kebbi), Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Bello Muhammad Goronyo (Sokoto) and Bello Matawalle from Zamfara State. There are several several negative effects of screening ministerial nominees by the Nigeria Senate without stating their portfolios: 1. Lack of specific scrutiny: When ministerial nominees are not assigned specific portfolios during the screening process, it becomes difficult for the Senate to thoroughly assess their suitability for the specific roles they will be assigned. This can result in a lack of focused questioning and evaluation, potentially leading to the appointment of ministers who may not be the best fit for their assigned portfolios. 2. Inefficient allocation of responsibilities: W...
