U see? Its all clear...
See the Historians and d defendants of the "political-bound" man of God...

The man only said he wept the last tym he was called to come and contest in which he failed...Yess I commend your intellect that you all know he's actually sayin more than that...

"2015" on his mind!!! And I think It would have been much appreciated if they come out straight with his intentions instead of the "cry-story"....

Hypocrites...

This gal didn't know what the tears of Joy is.

Next story abeg

"Pastor Tunde Bakare's daughter, Olubunmi Bakare - a Political Science graduate from the Emory University, Atlanta, United States"[color=#990000]

[/color]Interesting! I thought Pastor Bakare is above board? Where did he get the money he used to sponsor his daughter for further studies abroad if not from Tithes and Offerings? He would have been first to criticize any other Pentecostal Pastor who did that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not totally against it but not from 'revered saint' Pastor Tunde Bakare.

fujirice:
In all honesty, I loved that man to the bone marrow. His courage is something worthy of emulation BUT I bowed my head in shame when I discovered his acceptance to Buhari's proposal. Even if it were to be GEJ that asked him (I'm a fan of GEJ mind you) I'd still be sorely disappointed in him if he accepts. For God's sake he was acting as a check to the excesses of our government. Why would he marr that position by meddling in politics with them. With that singular act, we lost a voice that day in dat man as no sensible Nigerian will view what he says now against our government without suspecting a political undertone to it no matter how true his position is. He made anybody that'll oppose the government look like they have a prize! Its just too sad.

You are very funny,aren't you praying for good leadership in this country? If you restrict all clergy men from leadership position in this nation,is it the money minded,bad,selfish leaders whose interest is not the citizen,

Hypocrites...

I think you are the hypocrite here.Is there anything wrong for a man of God to take up a leadership position in this nation? Lets encourage clergy men to occupy leadership position in this nation,atleast with the help of God in their Ministry,things will change in this nation. We're tired of all this Occultist ruling this nation without the fear of God in them.How I wish a man of God takes up the leadership position in this nation,so that we can see the difference.

dis 1 no b news.kike abeg carry me comot 4 dis place.

Why did your dad weep For being a terrorist running mate I presumed That must have been 'tears of regret'..

Woman you have spoken well.

Let him rest, or is there anything your dad forgot in Aso Rock and now wants to get it back?

I also have good intentions for Nigerians if you must know, let him relax make I rule first na.

if im a man of GOD I will asked GOD TO TELL ME WHETHER IM WIINING THE ELECTION OR JUST GOING INTO ELECTION FOR OTHER REASONS AND WILL TELL ALL UPFRONT THAT I KNOW I WILL NOT WIN BUT AM IN IT AS DIRECTED BY GOD.bakare missed it somewhere and he should just admit it/of what relevance is the cry or the belated story about the cry.how would a man like bakare fared under a man like buhari.it would have been worse than obj/atiku fight.les concede as idiotic as the presidency is there is peace in the presidency between the sleepy Jonah and the docile sambo.

oh yes that was the cry of joy.

fujirice:
Point of correction sir, it was only David that enjoyed that privilege. When Saul tried it, it brought his downfall.
Solomon was nowhere a priest and a king either

"Is Saul also among the prophets?" I hope this sentence is in your bible?

Brimmie: [size=20]HYPOCRITES!![/size]

Stupidity

Why did he cry while he told us that God specifically asked him to run for that election.?

tha_originator: shut up your dirty rotten mouth there! hin get PJ like your thieving pastors?

You want to be noticed! Congrats, your wish has been granted!!

Can't you make your senseless argument without resorting to insult? APC Political Thug like you!!! For your information, it is not everyone on Nairaland that affiliates with a party. Stop politicizing everything. What has PJ got to do with this?

God bless u

Too much idiots on this forum, that's why few idiotic politicians brazenly rob you of your right. Keep up the tribal and religious bigotry, we'll see how much it'll help. Shioooor!

Caleboha: Hate him as you may, that dude stood up against the tyrants of the military in Nigeria and got jailed severally, something many so-called lovers of Nigeria were not bold enough to do. He spoke against the ills of government even when there was obviously nothing in it for him. His alliance with Buhari will remain a dent on his reputation but no man is above mistakes! It may have been one act of selfishness but he is only human. His critics easily forget when he spoke vehemently against Abacha and even allegedly prophesied his death, was that selfishness and hypocrisy too?

That is hw we have stopped ppl that would have save this country. I dont see anything wrong 4 a pastor to be involve politics. Did God command that a pastor can nt rule or be a president. Must all policticians partake in bloodshed to become elected. Thats hw ppl discourage ppl in church that u shuldt jion politics. If it is D believers that are to change things in this nation and u say they shuld nt go, then how will D change come. Is there anything that dont subcumb to change? Encourage D godly and soon we see that one wont be evil or need to jion a society to be elected. Nelson Mandela fut for 27yrs 4 what he believed and it came true.

What did he do after they lost?

Who will not weep & shout for sudden big wealth..Thank God nobody got mad.

mr_king: thank u for Boldly spelling it out! One word that skips M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ brain when it comes to spelling! Lols!

Please, read inbetween the lines. The coerced/forced side of the story is from the imagination of the reporter. The lady's story started from the second paragraph. All I can discern from her story was that her dad had no such intention until Buhari called him and that he was quite emotional about it. Tunde is still a human being.

Thank you and God bless you.

Hmmm.. Surprising. Well i wish him the best in his next attempt.

HE IS ONE NIGERIA I LOVE AND I WILL NOT WANT HIM TO GO INTO POLITIC AGAIN, HE ADVICE THEM. BUT DO THEY HAVE HEARING EARS?

So, let me get this straight. The problem isn't that Tunde Bakare is corrupt, but that he's too clean to soil his hands trying to clean the filth that is Nigeria?
Now, I'm over-convinced Nigeria deserves the leaders it has. Jonathan ride on.

JESUS OF OYINBO!!! BY THEIR FRUIT WE SHALL KNOW DEM

@fresh_dude, Thanks jare. The comments of people makes one wonder if democracy is really the best form of government. Perhaps Winston Churchill knows a thing or two when he said 'the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.' With this kind of reasoning by the voters, why do we still wonder why Nigeria is like this?

holyvirgin: Eyaa...
Buhari also wept
Now we are told Bakare also wept!
Politics is for the strong not for cry babies.
GEJ before he became president we were told he had no shoes but he knew that weeping can never take him to Aso rock may be nigerians are tired of people who keeps using their tears to blackmail them.
Someone should tell those duo to grow up jare.

Hunger hasn't killed fools like u yet? Don't worry, return Jonathan in 2015 and watch as even Somalia denies u entry into their country.

For those of you who were using your dirty mouth to spoil Bakare's name,how many of your father mean your fathers had the gut to talk during abacha regime and even during fuel subsidy,how many of your father came out then,yes we all use the boldness of Bakare to fought like a lion then.well I don't blame many of you,is either you are in tens or probably not up to 30yrs.and for those of you that are over 30yrs hmmmmmmmmmm I really pity your unborn children because you have already uprooted what would been their joy. well am sure history will tell that you are one of the people that make life difficult for them and u knoW what their curse will never let you rest.

digospel2: The greatest mistake of Tunde Bakare is venturing into political elective office. The office of a prophet in the Bible is higher than that of a king. He reduced and rubbished himself by yielding to the advice of his daughter. My advise to him is to return to God and seek for mercy so that God can reposition him in the prophetic office.

Hey, crazy Nigerian religious fanatic, go find out the definition of a Prophet.

andyanders: So, as a man of God, he was not following the God he was worshiping to actually ask God if he can win, rather he was listening to Buhari.
As a man of God, he should have gone to his inner room to ask God " This race with Buhari, can we win" God would have told him not to, rather he Bakare chose to listen to Buhari hence the birth of Boko Haram with their utterances.
If her Dad hears from God, speaks to God and listens to his God, he wouldn't have gone into politics and lost.
He should ask the likes of Prophet T.B Joshua, Dr Kris Okafor, men of God who hears from God and they will advise him.

So, u really believe there are Nigerians that can speak directly to God? Wow, u guys are indeed a F*ck8d up in the head set of people.
