Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by shadrach77: 8:44pm On Mar 22, 2010 |
Print version Ex-Generals Holding Nation To Ransom —Pastor Bakare, Slams OBJ, IBB, Danjuma March 22, 2010 17:00 (3 hours ago), 1,050 views By Ada Owojela The serving Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly and convener of the Save Nigeria Group, SNG, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has slammed Nigeria’s former Army Generals, saying they were holding the nation to ransom. Pastor Bakare, who was speaking in his church in Lagos yesterday about the state of the nation, specifically tongue-lashed former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida and Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, saying they and other retired Generals were responsible for the mess Nigeria was in today. According to Bakare, “the Generals are on the prowl again. They are gathering like vultures. The same people who got us into this mess are the ones we have called to heal us.” He said what kind of counsel would someone like Danjuma, who did not know what to do with the N500 million he got from the sale of oil bloc, give to Acting President Goodluck Jonathan, who appointed him Chairman, Presidential Advisory Council, PAC. Bakare debunked reports in a section of the media that the Save Nigeria Group was now torn apart over funds received from Malam Nuhu Ribadu, Malam El-Rufai and others. He challenged the purveyors of the report to produce evidence that the group had got money from these people. He said the false report was the handiwork of detractors who were not comfortable with the strides SNG was making to bring about a new Nigeria. Bakare said SNG had paid for its secretariat since January and that it was being renovated and would be opened in April, contrary to the report that it had no secretariat. He added that the group was being funded by contributions from key members and that at the appropriate time, credible and ordinary Nigerians would be asked to contribute their widow’s mite and that every kobo would be properly accounted for. http://thepmnews.com/2010/03/22/ex-generals-holding-nation-to-ransom-%e2%80%94pastor-bakare-slams-obj-ibb-danjuma |

bakare is right - infact i said this on a different thread yesterday, this transfer of power is more or less a covert coup d'etat - yaradua has been deposed and replaced with a junta of retired generals with jonathan as a powerless frontman who is being remotely controlled from behind the scenes by obj, danjuma and other members of the nigerian elite. |

Bakare has no buisness meddlin in politics, he should be somewhere praying for the nation and encouraging christians to have faith in God and not be carried away by politics. Who are the credible nigerians who contributed to his secretariat. Bakare you have called ur self to the service of God and u can't serve God and Mamon, leave politics to politicians and instead concentrate on soul winning |

marvix: I read through your past posts and I can understand that you are part of the sychophantic Nigerians who will prefer the status quo because of the the corruption which form their way of life. You give away yourself as a sympatizer of corrupt leadership and a benefactor of corruption. I am not surprise that you take on Pastor Bakare. Afterall you are a disgrace to Nigerian elites |

marvix: U didnt comprehend the message well, Bakare has a right to challenge those retired cabals /Generals. He is afterall a nigerian and a concerned one at that, |
Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by cap28: 11:32pm On Mar 22, 2010 |
Alxmyr: dont mind him, a pastor has the right to speak out against injustice, was martin luther king not a church minister, but he was courageous enough to challenge the injustice in the american system, i respect bakare for his courage, i just wish we had more pastors like him. |

marvix: Those who brought us the gospel has since realized that everything in the universe is physical. Today's telescopes and microscopes see things that use to be considered "spiritual". When the Bible itself tells you to open your spiritual eyes that's a call for you to gain understanding. For what purpose then? To better your life, not for God. God is the ultimate judge, politician, mathematician, economist, physicist, chemist, biologist, technician and any other things we may think of ourselves as capable of doing in the future. The Bible is in essense about how humans ought to conduct their affairs and govern each other. The very first task that God gave Adam, if you are a believer in that view of the universe, was to procreate and hold dominion over the animals and take care of the earth. One question for you, since you know where the spiritual begins and the earthly ends. In Bible times visitors to planet earth were described as angels with wings, today some people claim alien visits, not with flying wings, but in flying saucers. Is that because those of the other realm have also developed advanced technology? Or is it that the ancients or moderns or both were/are hallucinating? Or could it be that our visions reflect our state of technology? |

I think this is just to show that all those that said Jonathan has no agenda are really right. |

@ Marvix, just replied a similar ignorant (pardon me) post like urs on another thread and u make me sound like a broken record. If d black americans & south africans took ur advice, u'll agree with me they'll still be in bondage, and Nigerians wont be struggling 4 visas to go to US & SA to escape this hell called Nigeria. Let me refresh ur memory a little cos nigerians tend to be My advise- don't just swallow everything u hear hook, line & sinker. The bible admonishes us to PROVE ALL THINGS (like the brethren in Berea), and HOLD ONTO THAT WHICH IS TRUE! |

marvix: How can you say such a thing, so as the man is trying to fight bad governance in Nigeria is bad. What can people do to please Nigerians?. |
Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by jswagg4(m): 12:53pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
I totally agree with past.bakare.wish we had concerned men of GOD like him!,not those other "pastors"(we know them,the big ones)who choose to keep shut when they are not supposed to. |
Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by spikedcylinder: 12:55pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
marvix: You might not realise it but Bakare is a pastor and a citizen of Nigeria. He has as much right as you to comment on such matters. What's wrong with your own mouth? Why can't you go to the corner and pray for Nigeria instead of typing all sorts in the politics section here? How is it that some have now come to qualify Politics as 'mammon' sef? With your comment, one will think the man said he wants to run for President. |
Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by Aks(m): 1:13pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
@ Marvix--- what a nonsensical post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know u are regretting it Bravo to the Pastor who have dim it fit to stand in the midst of them all to join millions of NIGERIANS calling for a good change in GOVT. NIGERIA will soon be saved, will soon be changed; ALAS, NIGERIA will FLOURISH again |
Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by bisiaet: 1:17pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
It is amasing and shocking when someone said Bakare has no business in politics Pls may I ask the poster Whose Business is Politics? or Who and Who has the right to talk about politics? Is there any constitution anywhere that say only certain set of people has the right to talk about politics? I think this poster must be missing it. If Bakare did not talk is it you who only blabla on Nairaand will talk? |
Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by Borat1: 1:20pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
Bakare should shut up and sit down, i mean what kind of pastor continually meddles in politics? |
Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by Aks(m): 1:24pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
@ BORAT--- from your harsh and absurd response, i can categorically say you are a NOVICE on the happenings in the country. By the way, are u a NIGERIAN? |
Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by MELAA: 1:27pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
~Borat~: If you don't know what to say u just shut your own mouth up and allow people that would talk. Martins lurther that the world(blacks) will ever be celebrated for speaking out courageously without the fear or any person. |

Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by Nobody: 1:31pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
~Borat~:imo,i think religion leaders ought to be moderators by preaching against bad governance using the word of God as a guidance which give them added knowledge than ordinary people but when they become personal and selective in their moderating roles,then it doesnt speak well of them.they should preach peace and not war |

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] Is it a sin for a man of God to 'call a spade a spade'? |
Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by Nobody: 1:50pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
@borat---his involvement in politics is not a new thing afterall pastor chris okotie did the same thing and form fresh party which never make any different even though he prophesized himself as president of nigeria.pastors just like traditional leaders are to serve as checks and balances tools for our notorious politicians |

~Bluetooth: Dont get me wrong, 'pastor' Tunde Bakare is ALWAYS involved in DESTRUCTIVE CRITICISMS That does not lead anywhere, especially in a country like nigeria |
Re: Tunde Bakare Blasts Obasanjo, Babangida by gorociano: 2:08pm On Mar 23, 2010 |
Pastor Tunde Bakare is the Naija Version Of Prophet Elijah who had no qualms about confronting bad leaders like king Ahab( read Babangida) and Jezebel(read Turai) |
