blackpanthar:
Thank you for proving it to the OP that he is WRONG.

this statement leads me to believe you completely misunderstood my post...or is it your attempt at obfuscation?

just because one is able to do a thing doesn't mean one will or has done it. for example, I am perfectly able to run NAKED Through the through the village square BUT I NEVER WILL!

....and of course paul (philipians) says so but did Jesus say so?

F00028:

this is a fallacy! an All Mighty, All Knowing God knows what He has created. He need not lower Himself to the level of man just to understand him.

have you never read: 1 John 3:20 Psalm 147:5 or Isaiah 40:28?

blackpanthar:

yes a GOD who made human MUST BE ABLE TO TAKE THEIR FORM TOO.... you can MAKE what you dont understand...

doctokwus:

Rubbish.
As a true Muslim he claims to be,why didn't the Senior special assistant resign when Ghanduje was caught receiving ghandollars,yet refused to step down as governor?
This guy just saw that Ghanduje is not likely to win the rerun and is positioning himself for possible appointment.It doesn't have anything to do with his hypocritical claim of being a true Muslim and Ghanduje being a false one.

plus, the guy probably a kwankwaso undercover agent has already shown his true colours in the election thinking they would win. now he knows he has no future in the gov's camp.

Buhari is the political pundit’s nightmare. The support he enjoys from hismassive base defies all logic. This and the fact that his base runs into double-digit millions makes him the politician every Nigerian politician wants to become, never mind the rhetoric. How else can you explain the Saraki look? Or the Atiku copycat tears. Sorry I digress. This post is about 2023. About life after Buhari and what would become of the millions of supporters he would leave behind.I am a strong APC sympathizer who has never ever cast a vote for the PDP. But I also happento be a busybody who believes a strong opposition is good for democracy. So against mybetter judgment, I offer thefollowing 10 unsolicited pieces of advice to the PDP on how it can positionitself strategically to benefit from the swarm of Buhari supporters that would be on free transfer when the man finally retires in 2023 and thus emerge stronger in spite ofthe defeat.

1.The PDP must understand that there’s life after defeat and they must get on with it and fast. Atiku has four wives totake turns at consoling him and I’m sure he can find his way to court. The restof you need to shake off the dust of defeat from your mindset and facethe gubernatorials asthough your lives depended on it. And it does. Or atthe least, that of your party.

2.When Buhari retires, there would be at least12million dedicated voters who have been voting Buhari all their voting lives who would be looking for someone else to vote for. The party that would end up harvesting most of them would bethe one with the best structure in the Buhari belt. That is why the next round of elections is more important than the last one because truth be told, Atiku never stood a real chance against Buhari.

3.In 2023 both you (PDP) and APC are likely going tofield people fromthe south which implies that the Buhari swarm would be a free for all. Majority would end up going with the parties of their governors. That is why you need to stop sulking and begin to smell the coffee.

4.On Saturday, don’t waste your effort, time, or money on Katsina, Kebbi, Borno, and Yobe. Your candidates don’t stand a chance. But aside those states, virtually everywhere else in the Buhari strongholds is upfor grabs. The negative effects of the shambolic primaries Oshiomole conducted is likely to manifestin full and if you’re prepared, you can mine gold from it. Many in the APC that feel hard done by in the primaries, consider it payback time and hence there could be tons and tons of protest votes up for the taking.

5.Kaduna is one of the states in which hundreds of thousands of Buhari supporters can be inherited by whichever party is in power in that state come 2023. There are alot of local variables at play for Saturday’s elections; Muslims vs Christians (even though both candidates are Muslim), Sunni vsShia (even though both candidates are sunni), sacked teachers and their families, sacked LGA phantom workers, sacked village heads, aggrieved formermembers of the APC who have since moved to the PDP, etc. The political mix is ascomplex as a potof Edikang Ikong.The PDP has a very realistic chance of winning the state. Atiku got his highest votes here. He got 41% of the total votescast but then he was contesting against Buhari. There are many PDP supporters who vote Buhari all the time, but when Baba is noton the ballot, they return to their cocoon. There are also the Buhari-only voters. They are passionate aboutBuhari but not loyal to any party,they have followed Buhari from APP to ANPP to CPC and now APC. In all those parties, they cared about one person only and if he’s not onthe ballot, they may not even bother to vote. Add to this the possibility of voter weariness that could set in for some and prevent them from turning up to vote and you have a very diceycontest that could go either way. Whoever wins Kaduna on Saturday, would inherit the larger chunk of the swarm in 2023.

6.Kano too is up for grabs, never mind Kwankwaso’s woeful performance for Atiku. Buhari is a tough opponent and Kwankwaso was obviously more interested in unseating Ganduje than helping Atiku to the presidency. His future as a major player depends on winning Kano for Abba on Saturday. He needs to prove a point by unseating an incumbent and likely use that to negotiate a Vice Presidential spot on the PDP ticketcome 2023.

7.Zamfara too can be taken easily. With APC cominglate into the race and with perhapsthe worst primaries in the country, there would definitely be thousands of protest votes that the PDP could mop up. Also, the APC (courtesy of Yari and the horrendous security situation) has a lot of negative baggage in the State.

8.Sokoto is PDP and the 40% they got against PMB indicates a strong presence. Moving from 40 to 50 or more is not impossible if PMB is not on the ballot. Plus they have incumbency (its still a factor).

9.Bauchi on paper should be the headquarters of protest votes for next Saturday. Many APC members didn’t want the incumbent to get the ticket. But you can never trust Bauchi to vote against Buhari’s party. In last week’s election, they gave a senate seat to the APC even when they were not sure who the candidate was. IfI were you, I wouldn’t get my hopes too high here, but I’m not you, so go give it a shot.

10.The infighting inAdamawa APC makes the Statea vulnerable prey. The PDP has inflicted heavy damage in last Saturday’s polls.Atiku won the state and the PDP has 2 out of 3 Senate seats.

Now here are my personal predictions for Saturday:PDP will take KanoAPC will take Kaduna, Zamfara, Sokoto, and Bauchi Adamawa is too close to call.

VictorRomanov:


It doesn't prove he wasn't inspired.

but it does. what the man says about his own motivation to write is proof enough. you want to go into supposition.

futurist369:
" no other gods "even signifies they're other gods...

no. it means there CAN be no other God's.

NPComplete:

Actually any logical Christian or Muslim should believe in many gods than one singular god...

any logical Christian or Muslim should believe that you can't have two Captains on one ship.

it's an obviously simple argument: no institution, no household, not to speak of the vast universe containing multitudes of countless distant stars, can function smoothly and properly, if it has two masters.

futurist369:
so am supposed to believe everything written in a Quran, even when it defies logic?

F00028:
you need to understand that in eastern languages like Hebrew and Arabic they have plurals of respect. so you'll find Us, We, Our etc yet still referring to a singularity...

this is something you can easily research

you need to understand that in eastern languages like Hebrew and Arabic they have plurals of respect. so you'll find Us, We, Our etc yet still referring to a singularity.

besides, if there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides the One True God, there would have been confusion in both! -Quran 20:21

there can be only ONE !

Budex40:

Well, its NOT necessary but society makes it look like a do or die affair

don't encourage him/her

Joromi12:
Must one get married

not 'must', 'should', and to the right person if you want a REAL relationship.

Exactly 10 years ago I got married. So for our anniversary, I thought maybe I should write everything, I mean EVERYTHING (from A – Z), about marriage…

A is for Apples and Agbalumo: Women are complex multi-dimensional beings capable of transiting from being the apple of your eye to becoming the agbalumo in your eyes and back again, several times in one day. If you can’t handle that, then stop reading this and go get yourself a puppy. You are not ready for marriage.

B is for Bullion van: You know those vans that drive at very high speeds to move cash to and from banks? Well when you sign up for marriage, that’s exactly what you become. You will be moving your hard earned cash at very high speeds to schools, hospitals, markets, airlines, several tailors scattered all over the city, hairdressing salons, and so many other places that you won’t even be able to keep track of. The only difference between you and a bullion van is that you don’t have a siren.

C is for Competition: Whatever you do as a father, do not compete with your wife for the love of the children. Bribery has its limits. You can buy all the bicycles you want, and the ipads, and the toy cars, and the dolls…when the chips are down, they will always choose her over you. Studying reindeer hunting would be a much more productive use of your time, if you ask me.

D is for Drama: A marriage without drama would be so suffocatingly boring it could lead to actual death – death of the marriage. Every marriage should have a fair dose of drama. Just make sure it’s the fun type you’re having.

E is for Extra View: Nothing creates strain in a marriage as frequently as Telemundo does. You come home ready to enjoy that El Classico that you have thought about all day or that Novak vs Nadal match that you just can’t miss or that World Cup semi-final that you’re sure would be better than the final, and there she is remote control firmly in hand, watching some 3rd grade Mexican actors acting some pretty lame shit. Extra view is that thing that saves you from such a scenario and saves your marriage from avoidable strain.

F is for Facebook: Why Facebook? Well for some out-worldly mysterious reason that men would never understand, dates are very important to women. And Facebook does a fantastic job of keeping you out of trouble as far as dates are concerned.

G is for Gravity: Gravity is that force of nature that helps keep your feet firmly on the ground and your head out of the clouds. Both are important in a marriage.

H is for Habits: Those habits you need to drop. Like that patronizing male penchant for throwing up solutions whenever someone so much as mouths a problem. Seriously you need to unlearn that. When your wife pours out her frustrations, 90% of the time she’s not looking for a solution. All she wants from you is to listen and make the right sympathetic noises at the right moments. You know the occasional eyyaah accompanied by a slow shake of the head. Dishing out quick solutions means you are not listening…not listening means you don’t really care…not caring means you don’t love her anymore…not loving her anymore means you’re going to take another wife or you have a girlfriend or some random slay queen has conquered you. And trust me, you don’t want your wife thinking this.

I is for Indigo: Indigo is a color somewhere between blue and purple. Colors have meanings attributed to them. Indigo means wisdom, devotion and justice. As a husband, this is the color that should adorn your mindset.

J is for the Joneses: Don’t keep up with them. Nobody send you.

K is for Knight: Be her knight in shining armor. Somebody send you.

L is for Love: Love is the main selling point of marriage. Love is fueled by passion. The day your passion gets extinguished, that day your love dies and your marriage loses its essence.

M is for Man of the House: This is the lie women tell men so that the arduous task of being a husband and a father seem bearable.

N is for Nightingale: Male nightingales are known for serenading female nightingales all through the night. Be like the male nightingale. I know you’re an African man and all, but just try. It won’t kill you.

O is for Ownership: Most people have no difficulty in claiming ownership of the good stuff in their marriages. It is the bad that they always want to outsource to village people, mother-in-law, wifey’s tribe, and what not. By taking ownership of the bad, you are putting the solutions to the problems within your sphere of action.

P is for Prestidigitation: It’s the longest non-compound word that I know and I’ve never used it before. It has got absolutely nothing to do with marriage but this may be the only chance I have to use it before I die. So just quickly move on to Q, please. Thank you.

Q is for Quality of Life: If after getting married, your overall quality of life takes a nosedive, then you’re either doing it wrong, or you’re in the wrong one. Either way, something would have to give.

R is for Reality: Marriage is the ultimate reality intensifier. When you get married a new dimension of reality unfolds right before your eyes. You start to see things that you never noticed before. It was only after I got married that I started to notice tomato sellers at the side of the road. I never used to see those guys (seriously).

S is for Side-chicks and Slay Queens: Lol, you thought it was for sex abi? Pervert! Anyway sha, if you are serious about ‘Happy Ever After’, then Side-chicks and Slay Queens should be way off your radar.

T is for Takeout: Once in a while, take the family out. Even if it’s just for ice cream. This too will not kill you.

U is for U: Take care of U. It is easy to forget yourself while striving to provide the best life for your family. Take care of yourself because your family needs you healthy and alive. Don’t coman go and kii yasef.

V is for Venus: That’s the name of the planet where your wife is really from. It’s a very strange planet. So don’t get yourself worked up if you don’t understand half the things she does.

W is for warts: Marriage comes with some warts. When you sign up for it, you sign up for the warts too.

X is the unknown: There are many unknowns in a marriage chief of which is your wife’s mood. Your success or failure as a husband depends on how well you can navigate these unknowns.

Y is for the other unknown: In mathematics when you’re not trying to find X you’re trying to find Y. So if X is your wife’s mood swings, Y is the root cause of the swings. Both are unknown. Marriage is an exercise in finding X and Y. So now you know why your math teacher was disturbing you so much about X and Y – she was preparing you for marriage.

Z is for Zebra: Marriage, like life itself, is a series of light moments followed by some not so light ones. But when you stitch it all together, like Dolly Parton’s coat of many colors, it turns out beautiful. Like the skin of the Zebra.

Bumper stickers for PMB and co.

It’s a new year and in Nigeria it's the season for bumper stickers. Here are a few that I think President Buhari and others in this government should be sticking to the rear of their cars.

“2017! MY YEAR OF REDEMPTION”:
This should sit well on the bumpers of allof PMB’s official cars. The man needs serious redeeming. Even a diehard buharist like myself who has never cast a vote for any party that Muhammadu Buhari is not in, is quietly questioning many things. Truth be told, every aspect of the buhari ideal that drew us to him since 2003, needs serious redemption. His fight against corruption needs redemption. His monetary policy needs redemption. Even his budgets need to be redeemed. Thankfully he has the whole of 2017 to do the redeeming because 2018 the campaigns start and by then it’ll be too late.

“MAN PROPOSES GOD DISPOSES”:
This is for Kemi the Finance Minister. She has tried everything she knows in economics in the over one year that she has been in office but nothing seemed to have worked. The economy moved from “slowing down” to “negative growth” to “recession” to “stagflation”. But she’s human, she can only propose. The rest is up to God.

“THE DOWNFALL OF A MAN IS NOT THE END OF HIS LIFE”:
Something tells me Hon. Abdulmumuni Jibril already has this sticker. How do I know? Well just a few months ago he was sitting atop one of the most lucrative committees of the House of Representatives and now he’s suspended from the same house. He fought long and hard and threw tantrums all over the place in order to bring down his former “partners in crime” along with him but no one cared to listen. So at the moment he may be down but I know he’s not out. Nothing will convey this message better than this sticker.

“WHO GRAMMAR DON EPP [?]”:
would be great for Solomon Dalung’s car. And instead of a bumper sticker, I’d suggest he makes a much bigger sticker, big enough to cover his rear windscreen. That way it’ll be amply clear to all those people that are disturbing him because of his grammar that when it comes to Mr. Dalung, grammar doesn't count. They should find other things to disturb him about.

“WHERE MAN DEY WORK NA THERE HIN GO CHOP”:
There are many in PMB’s team thatshould proudly drive around with this sticker on their bumper but there is only one man for whom it’s a perfect match. You guessed it…David Babashir Lawal.

“LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE”:
I don’t live in Abuja so I can’t really appraise the performance of the FCT minister but based strictly on the complaints of Abuja residents, I assign this sticker to him. Because thats what he seems to have been doing since November 2015.

“LET MY ENEMIES LIVE LONG AND SEE WHAT I WILL BECOME IN FUTURE”:
If Amaechi hasn’t already done a victory lap around Portharcourt with this sticker then he needs to fire all his advisers. The very thought of a future in which Amaechi is bigger than he is now, would send shivers through Wike the strength of which can be picked up on the Richter scale.

“HAPPY SURVIVAL ”:
After what he went through to survive the CCT trial, Senator Saraki needs two of these. One to stitch on his agbada and the other to stick on his car.

“NOBODY KNOWS TOMORROW”:
This one is for me. I reserved it for myself because the only resolution I made for 2017 is to think positive. But it is impossible to do that with all the gloomy economic outlook for 2017 churned out by our know-all economists. So I say to them…NOBODY KNOWS TOMORROW
