Everybody becoming a philosopher on tinubu matters.

What you all dont understand is that the yorubas recognize the benefit of a strong united front with a common leader

We had one when we had the oyo empire and conquered everyone around us

They killed our MKO

But now we have a jagaban and we will rally round his leadership
You all should be very AFRAID because the yorubas just resurected a 21st century empire
And the capital is lagos

Just like that this topic is still relevant today as the hen has come home to roost. Tinubu is toast already.

Chinjo2:
I know Jandor is going to put up a huge fight but to unseat Sanwo Olu, that is an impossible task.
Wake up, APC only relies on rigging to win. Jandor will beat Sanwoolu silly this time around I will remind you by March next year. How Jandor did it I don't know but a lot is working for him. The people are fed up with Tinubu high handedness in Lagos, besides, those working for Jandor are even within APC so you can now see why APC will lose.

Lagosians should consider themselves lucky to have this man coming up at a time like this to change the course of event for the good of the land. Congratulations to PDP in advance. By the time the #EndSars crew unleash what they have in their kitty against SanwoOlu and Tinubu plus his Seyi, I don't see them surviving it. Congrats to Jandor I see him winning great thanks to BVAS and the new Electoral Law

I've realized that no matter how I try to explain this to people outside Lagos, they can't understand it.

How do you expect sane-minded people to grasp it, it sounds so strange and weird to comprehend my brother.

Bros if u get any kind problem for Lagos. Both domestic issues or streets. Your best bet is to approach the chief agbero in the Area. The matter will be settled amicably. They're more influential than law enforcement agencies. That's the mega city tinubu built

Imagine, this is not only sad but highly wrong in all ramifications especially when we have law enforcement agents around. May Tinubu, Sanwoolu and APC never succeed.

Wao just wao....... lipsrsealed lipsrsealed shocked shocked what did I just read? I hope Lagosians and especially PDP in Lagos can take time to read this meditatively and understand that these "weird young lords" loaded with free money and act like demons on our highways in Lagos are directly working for Tinubu and his cronies which include Sanwoolu and other APC robbers in power therefore this coming election must be a matter of make or mar for PDP or else, Lagos glory might be buried on the long run. Imagine what this article just revealed to us and yes they are facts because these are what we see everyday happening in Lagos. I have every reason to mobilize massively for PDP's candidate, Dr Abdulazeez Olajide Adediran a.k.a Jandor to become Governor in Lagos come 2023, away with houseboy Sanwoiku or is it sanwoolu now.

Politics / A Governor Without Honour! by tomakint: 2:04am On May 16, 2022
*A GOVERNOR WITHOUT HONOUR: INSIGHTS INTO THE CRIMINAL PROFILE AND DIRTY SECRETS OF PRINCE DAPO ABIODUN*

_By Dr. AOO Olu-Onagoruwa_

The best they say must always lead the rest but it appears that Ogun State, which happens to be the cradle of civilization is in for a public show of shame as a result of tragic flaws in character of the present occupier of the Number One seat of the Gateway State. This is a State that has produced great legends like Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, Prof Wole Soyinka, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Prof Obey Fabiyi, Primate Peter Jasper Akinola amongst several other international icons known for high moral standards and copious integrity. 

A prolog into the shady character of Prince Dapo Abiodun was first noticed during the filling of Nomination forms for his 2019 Gubernatorial Aspiration. The Governor was quoted to have said he attended the famous Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife and graduated with a Degree In Accounting. Without Wasting much time, the leadership of the school refuted the claim and stated otherwise that no Abiodun, Adedapo Oluseun was a student of the institution in that year. The Ivy Tower further added that they did not have any course known as Accounting in their Curriculum but Management & Accounting. The Governor was later to stammer and stutter like a failed ignition in December 2018 when Seun Okinbaloye of Channels Television posted same question to him during an Interview Series on the television Programme.  As usual, the feline Governor was able to maneuver his way out, by buying over the press till the issue died a natural death despite the fact that Cable Newspaper confirmed that he was involved in certificate forgery. In his 2019 Gubernatorial Form thereafter, he claimed to possess only Secondary School Certificate – an insult on the collective intelligence of the good people of the State who had had the benefits of being led by Professional Journalist, Engineer & Chartered Accountant.  Even his Wikipedia Page affirms that the Educational Background of Abiodun remains unclear (sic). Till date, the true academic record of the Governor is not known since oratory prowess covers the inadequacy.

Upon his emergence as the Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun was quick to appoint one of his syndicates, another Ijebu Son whose elder brother owns the Limelight Hotel in Ago-Iwoye as a Senior Special Assistant. The aide, Abidemi Rufai recently pleaded guilty to the 15 Counts Charge of Fraud and Identity Fraud after being in detention since his arrest in New York in May 2021. A case very similar to the Criminal record of his Employer. You will then agree that the Englishman who says a bird of the same feather flocks together were very correct in their assertion. In order to smoothen the edges so that the matter will not be linked to him, His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun hurriedly and without any benefit of explanation or conviction, dismissed the aide in a manner that a Shoplifter discards his stolen goods upon the hearing of footsteps. As members of the same trade, the although black-but-ever-looking-yellow Governor knew the curtain has been drawn against their antics.  For the Governor to have taken such drastic decision within hours after his arrest, that means His Excellency had a working idea of the whole scam afterall Law upholds that any suspect shall be presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.

It happened that Abidemi Rufai one of the close pals of the Governor has been using the identities of more than 100 Washington residents to steal more than $350,000 in unemployment benefits from the Washington State Employment Security Department (ESD) during the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020. There are 100,000 pages of evidence and discovery materials against him. His suits will again appear for hearing on the 31st of May, 2022. The question that should be at the back of your mind now is that was there ever a background check into the suitability, integrity and criminal records of Political Appointee’s by the Department of Security Service (DSS) and other law enforcement agencies? Everything abut the Governor is highly convoluted.

A peep into the private life of the Governor of the over 7.2 million good people of the State is like visiting a manger, poultry or a horse staple full of stench and odour as can be imagined.  The Self-acclaimed Deacon of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) who has a tripartite agreement with God, keeps numerous strange bedfellows. He is a heavy drunkard who gulps ale and opium with the same velocity water guzzles into an open manhole. In fact, prior to the 2019 General Elections, his delectable wife, an oasis in the desert, a modest daughter of a Professor in Ilishan, and former deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, had already called the marriage a quit leaving him to the mercies of his inimical addictions. How best do you explain getting married to a man who could decide to risk his whole life by jumping from a Story-Building in the course of having a tryst with a former married minister whose Husband came in?. You may wish to ask His Excellency the actual story behind his limping and wobble legs. He took the interventions of high-profiled citizens of the State, particularly a former Governor of the State to appeal to the woman to return home after the primary elections.

How will it sound that a 59-year old incoming Governor of Ogun State has no wife but keeps harems of mistresses and sleeps around like faunas? Dr. Mrs. Bamidele Abiodun surely honoured these interventions, parading herself as the First Lady of the State but with the acquiescence that the centre is not holding.

The woman was later forced to keep a distance in order to maintain sanity with sparing dispositions to State Government responsibilities.  Earlier in the marriage, the couple had lost their first son, Olugbenga Abiodun simply known as DJ Olu on 7th  October 2017 to addictions taken from his father. The boy was reported to have been a heavy drug dependent, always sniffing whitish powdery substance from his anatomical snuffbox. A true son of his father who merely learnt by observation. The lifeless body of the 25-year-old alongside his friends was later discovered at the basement of a Flat in Banana Island, Ikoyi Lagos. One thing that remains inconvertible is that a child is always a reflection of the father and the family values. 

Ogun Indigenes were going about their lawful businesses when in March 2022 facts emerged through Sahara Reporters that the Yellow Loving Governor was an Ex-Convict. To say they were shocked to the bone marrow was an understatement. Mere looking at the Governor, one may never know that he has such dark and odious past. Looks indeed are very deceptive. This was a Governor who went to a RCCG Church in London leading praises, confessing tripartite agreements and giving testimonies. ‘Don’t be too quick to admire teachers of morality’ a Sage once told me “they talk like angels but they live as men”. Interestingly, it is against moral and judicial conscience that ex-convicts of whatsoever territory should occupy public office. The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as condemnably as it is also expressly stated it so.  

The Government first dismissed the claim that nothing of such ever occurred. In fact, the greedy Ogun State APC Publicity Secretary, Comrade Tunde Oladunjoye, another tragic character hurried put-up his usually watery and disconcerted rejoinder to dismiss the claim. As more facts later emerged, the Governor, obviously moved by the accuracy of evidences against him and not knowing the gravity of such admittance, acknowledged the claim through his social media handles but with a caveat that such record is not strong a reason/ground to disqualify him from contesting the Gubernatorial elections in 2023. What an effrontery! When my learned friend, who became a lawyer at the age of 40 will always say _Nemo Judex in Causa Sua_ meaning you cannot be a judge in your own case. 

Within a spate of time, and probably after serious legal counsels, the State Government again vehemently denied the claim - An admittance that was earlier shared through their social media Handles. His Chief Press Secretary, the tall and loquacious writer tried all he could, with the power of words, concord and syntax to correct the wrong and dispel the facts but the deeds have already been done. Like my great grandmother will always say, the knife had lacerated the hand and the Child had thrown it away but the knife had done its worst. Afterall, you cannot approbate and reprobate at the same time.  

Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun, now the number one citizen of Ogun State, elected by the goodwill of the people, living on public fund was in fact arrested and jailed on 7th November, 1986 for credit card fraud, petty theft and check forgery in Miami Dade Florida, USA. The Governor was said to have used a pseudo Name, Shawn Micheal Davids with Shawn probably standing for his middle name Seun to perpetrate fraud. He was said to have violently evaded arrest injuring a police officer in the process. Those close to the Governor will agree to this Violent part of his character. He is a man with a relatively short fuss, prone to irascible anger and occasional bouts of irritability. It was in the course of his profiling that forensic science through his fingerprints pointed to the fact that Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun is indeed the same hardened criminal known as Shawn Micheal Davids. This is a collective insult to the good people of the State.

I read with pity and consolation an article written by one faceless Forensic Expert named Dr. Abdulhameed Adedeji, trying to make fenestrated arguments that the Passport Photograph in the CTC of Document in circulation is a poor photoshop dismissing it as a hatchet job. As much as the said Doctor is merely doing the bidding of his paymaster, it is known to everybody that a drowning man will even try to catch a straw.

The material fact of the documents was to authenticate whether Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun was actually jailed or not.  It is a precious waste of time and exercise in futility to leave leprosy to treat ringworm. I do not know the nexus between criminality and a passport Photograph when the Certified True Copy of the document can be obtained at the Miamade Police Department, Miami Florida. 

The interesting part of this shameful narrative is that the same person who refuted the claim had in 2015 applied for a Redaction of his Criminal Records when he was to contest against the Late Senator Buruji Kashamu of blessed Memory. That Application is also in circulation. What is Redaction of Criminal Records you might want to ask me? Redaction of criminal records as lectured by my lawyer friend is a form of Expungement used for instances where a person desires to rub-off his illegal wrongdoings and criminal records. It is like mopping the floor to make it clean.  

This is one of the cases that will test our moral ground as community of people desiring change. If such dastard character and a criminal like Prince Dapo Abiodun is given the APC Gubernatorial party ticket for the 2023 General Election, that shows that neither the electorate or the APC party is ready for a true and lasting CHANGE.

Moreover, Prince Dapo Abiodun appears to be the worst Administrator so far in the history of Ogun State. He does not pick and reciprocate calls to even the state elders unlike a former Governor of the State who will return the messages of an ordinary citizen even in the wee hours of the night. All his cabinet members are fed up and only in Government for the Largess. The Patrimony of the State is being enormously siphoned and shared with his syndicates like the SSG, COS & one element called Egbetokun.

We may want to ask His Excellency the basis of his strained relationship with Senator Ibikunle Amosun (SIA). Who actually owns the Private Jet? I will tell you for authority that the Governor does not honour Gentleman’s Agreement.  Does one even expect a feline Leopard to change his spots? He has continued to use the State Treasury to liquidate his personal insolvency. Files and memo, even on crucial matters, do not get speedy and desired attention.

Now to the Youths, i will further advise all aspiring Political Office holders to watch their tracks and live a life of Sanctity, honesty and integrity. The Big brother is watching all of us. The advent of internet and social media will ease and facilitate access to deep information unlike the time past. The internet never forgets.

If there is one book I always recommend to politicians and friends alike, that will be the “Mayor of Casterbridge” written by Thomas Hardy. In that book, Michael Henchard, a heavy drunkard upon intoxication casted his young family as a lot to a sailor. He later rededicated his life on the 16th September, gained prosperity and became the Mayor of Casterbridge. Whilst trying to contest for the love of Elizabeth Jane, the past came calling only to lose everything because of the tragic flaws in his character. He was relinquished as the Mayor and later committed suicide when his dirty past caught up with him.

How far would we go in this show of shame in Ogun State? Are we going to do siddon look and  place a hardened criminal at the helms of our affairs? Would APC as a party fly an ex-convict as a Flagbearer? When has the State known for everything good descended into this deep abyss? These are parts of the questions throttling my mind. I am seriously waiting to see where the pendulum will swing.

Mynd44:

1. Tinubu gets Lagos and Osun.

2. Tinubu gets Ogun. Dapo Abiodun is not in charge of APC Ogun. It is more apparent from the fact that 60% of his cabinet are Yayi boys, he became governor from Yayi's structure. Only people in Ogun know this. Dapo and PYO are from the same place but how come you haven't seen Dapo actively supporting PYO? You want hin to upset YAYI so support for his second term can be withdrawn?
As for Amosun, he is not even in the party. I said it; he does not have a single Ogun delegate to vote for him

3. Oyo doesn't have a governor but the minister and the APC structure is still Ajimobi's and well…

4. Ekiti will be shared if Fayemi doesn't run and even at that, Ekiti delegates know their principal wont win and will most likely look out for themselves.

5. Ondo is anyhow

Politics / Lagos 2023 Gubernatorial Election. The Contenders And Pretenders: A Story Of.... by tomakint: 2:14am On Apr 07, 2022
~~Lagos 2023 Gubernatorial Election.
The Contenders and Pretenders: A story of Victors and Victory.

The forthcoming 2023 elections provides our great party with another opportunity to accomplish its goal of surmounting APC at the governorship poles. Given this huge task that seems more possible now than ever, PDP may be in for an intense Face-off between her members for the representative ticket of the gubernatorial Candidate for 2023. The fierce battle for the one who will stand in line for the party in the battle for the Governor of Lagos state has begun.
In Lieu to this, there are seven major aspirants vying for the PDP gubernatorial ticket:

WHO ARE THE CONTENDERS?
1.) First on the list is Prince Wale Gomez. Prince Wale Gomez as loved by many is a chieftain of the PDP in Lagos, he has shown his readiness to lead the party 'in the past'. He has never hidden the fact that his eyes is set on the governor's seat at Alausa. He has perambulate the political terrains in Lagos, combing the four walls of the state, laying his bricks layer by layer, hoping to win. If he will actualize his ambition we are yet to see as we keep our fingers crossed.

2.) Another aspirant is David Kolawole-Vaughan otherwise known as DAKOVA by many. Dakova is a remarkable political strategist known within the state and the national level.  He is crafty and talented in the areas of applying his ingenuity.
What is clear for everyone to see however is his irrevocable will to also contest for the party representation at the polls for the 2023 gubernatorial election and he has obtained his nomination form as a proof of this.
Everyone knows Dakova has been contesting before now. However, the question on everyone's lips is "How far will Dakova go with his ambition"?.




3.) Dr Ade Dosunmu, Former Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), and also the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2011 election has also shown tenacity. He would have been a good contender but for his lateness and past antecedent in gubernatorial elections, we don't know how far he too can go.

4.) Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour is an architect, public policy expert, politician and leader of the OURLAGOS movement, a beneficiary of the 'not too young to run movement'. In the 2019 general elections, he emerged as the PDP senatorial candidate representing Lagos West, the largest senatorial district, (by population), making him the youngest senatorial candidate of a major party. His partnership with WellaHealth to provide Micro Health Cover for 1 million Lagosians in commemoration of World Malaria Day on the 25th of April 2022 has set up a good precedence for him and his commitment to healthcare. 

MR. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, GRV is a young, vibrant and charismatic aspirant but he is coming out late and we can't tell yet what will be his fate.

5.) Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known in the state political circuit as Jandor has shown his zeal,  fervor and readiness. The leader of the Lagos4Lagos Movement has raised the bars for governorship aspirants within the party by creating a clear consise focus and working tirelessly to actualize it. It's not an hearsay to state as a fact that since Jandor walked into the Party he has become an household name greatly penetrating all sections. He is the first aspirant to purchase the Lagos Nomination Form for governorship among the aspirants in the PDP as to formally confirm his readiness to contest for the party’s ticket. This clear and consise action along with other proceeding establishes that he has a strong structure reminding me of Funsho Williams of blessed memory; the only man to have ever had such structure. This and his astute, insightful approach to politics, gives him a higher chance of winning the elections.

6.)Equally, Otunba Olanrewaju Kamal, Jim-Kamal as he is fondly called has declared intention to contest for the Lagos state governorship under our party. Although he is unknown, he has transverse the state, building where he can and has been making his four-point agenda known. Nonetheless, we are yet to see him show to us that he is a strong contender.


7.) Consequently, Adedeji Doherty, former National Vice Chairman, South-West of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a 2019 governorship aspirant has now shown interest to also contest for the party's representative ticket.
The unorthodox but seemingly true thing about Doherty is that If given the party's ticket, He might sell it to the opposition Party.
It looks irresponsible but not impossible. Doherty has consecutively announced his lack of  intention to contest for the 2023 governorship elections and now, in am improbable situation, he has declared his intention to contest for the Party's ticket and the question I keep asking is Why? Why now?
It is an open fact even among his caucus in the party that Doherty is not contesting and now, Doherty has become a contestant. This solidifies beyond any scientific fact that Doherty is not a man of his words and given his chronicles, if presented the ticket, he might sell it to the highest bidder among the opposition party.

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO AS A PARTY?
Now more than ever, we have a group of contestants with a large following. We also need to understand that defeating the All Progressive People's Party, may remain impossible and unattainable if the party stakeholders refuse to work together as a team.
Judging from the current demeanor of the party, a large percentage of our stakeholders are distracted by narrow interests and sympathies at the expense of the party's Victory at the polls.
In respect to this, it is safe to say PDP stands a higher chance of winning the gubernatorial election if we come together as one, a true PDP family and Unanimously elect a suitable aspirant that will deliver the state for us while we work together to ensure his success.

Just to let you know why Asiwaju Tinubu towers far above HE Atiku and others and state few of the reasons why I state that Asiwaju Tinubu is competent and the most prepared,I may need to take you down memory lane of his account of stewardship in public office sirs and mas.

As the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu recovered what is now called Eko Atlantic from the raging Atlantic ocean Lagos Bar beach coast line flooding (for decades that problem even some of the more developed nations explain away as climate change problems) defied all solutions by FG and the highbrow strategic Victoria Island was deteriorating fast with businesses, embassies, hotels etc exiting VI in droves. During that time, the Atlantic ocean flooding reach the fringes of Ozumba after the flood completely take over Adetokunbo Ademola. Lagos State Government under the brilliant , resourceful and hardworking Asiwaju Tinubu solved that herculean challenge and today, VI is back to its glory.

It was Asiwaju Tinubu that brought back the Lagos Central Business District and Broad street commercial nerve centre of Nigeria back to life after it was abandoned, it's Asiwaju Tinubu who built major roads from Oregun to Lawanson to Igando LASU to as far as Badagry etc.

Asiwaju Tinubu is the one who fixed the horrible waste problem we had in Lagos and that LASTMA and BRT you see was created by Asiwaju. Asiwaju Tinubu was the one who got Lagos State to be part of the owners of Econet and unlike Delta State where the shares were sold and funds pocketed, Lagos State Shares were warehoused with professional investors in the state investment agency called Ibile holdings.

Asiwaju Tinubu increased bursaries to students of Lagos State origin (NULASS) and made public schools free for all Lagosians regardless of your tribe, religion or political party affiliation after his administration had successfully returned missionary schools to their original owners( other states later copied Lagos) . It was during his tenure that Ikeja General Hospital became a teaching Hospital, upgraded most of the clinics to General Hospitals giving free health to the 5 years and below and Lagosians of 65 years and above age group. .

The fund that BRF used to quickly build infrastructures were the LGA funds withheld by Pa Obasanjo and despite that Asiwaju Tinubu never owed salaries.

When the purchase of FG refineries by Alhaji Dangote was cancelled by HE Yardua, Alhaji Aliko Dangote ran to Asiwaju Tinubu after most state governments and governors in the SS gave Dangote a cold shoulder. Today, through the assistance Asiwaju Tinubu gave Aliko Dangote, Dangote Refinery is taking off to help us stop the petrol subsidy killing our naira and public finances.


Asiwaju Tinubu is loyal to those who paid the ultimate price for our democracy and today heroes like Bagauda Kalto, Pa Alfred Rewane, Pa Abraham Adesanya etc are immortalized in Lagos .

One of the most memorable achievements of Asiwaju Tinubu for me was helping to stop the blood letting and recurring Hausa-Yoruba/OPC war in Idi Araba and Agege. Those hellish period of unrest defied even the effort of past military state administrators of Lagos but Asiwaju Tinubu was able to solve it.

That Lagos State Government civil service is regarded as the best in Nigeria is due to the hardwork Asiwaju Tinubu did to reform it, create Tutors General offices, improved harmonized pay structure, best pension scheme for civil servants etc.
I can go on and on to educate you on the legacies of Asiwaju Tinubu still standing till today as my reasons for my confidence in Asiwaju Tinubu sir/ma

That's why my appeal goes to you my fellow patriotic Nigerians to please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.
Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.

It is interesting to see how none of those who have responded, hitherto, bothered to counter Farooq Kperogi's article with veritable #facts.
Mind you, to be fair, I also understand how provocative they would have found the descriptor applied to our urbane VeePee here. grin

Do I agree with his characterisation? Absolutely not!
Do I, Talawaka, consider many of the points he raised to be correct. The answer is 'yes'.

Nigeria is too diverse a country to be headed by someone who plays a pivotal role in any faith-based institution.
The diktats of Erastus Akingbola (CEO of defunct International Bank), who insisted on prayer-days, are still fresh in the mind.

Religion / Re: The Mistakes Of Constantine That Birthed The Trinity Doctrine, Paganism With Chr by tomakint: 2:36am On Mar 21, 2022
The trinity doctrine teaches that God the Father, the Son and the Holyspirit are equal and one and the same God.
Although a very popular and widely accepted doctrine among christains the trinity doctrine is unbiblical and not in accordance with the word of God. The word Trinity does not appear in the Bible neither was such doctrine taught by the Apostles or known to the early Christains.
The trinity doctrine was instituted by men at the Council of Nicaea in AD325 and at Council of Constantinople in AD381.
The trinity doctrine has it's origin in pagan Sun god worship that was started by Nimrod and his wife.

Who is God and Jesus?
The Bible is clear on the identity of God and his Son, Jesus they are 2 different beings or persons
Although one in unity and purpose, their relationship is that of father and Son.
The Apostles always identified God as the father who has neither beginning or end ,who alone has immortality,all power and authority they also identified and distinguished Jesus as the only begotten Son of God and not God the Father himself here is an example.
2John1:3 Grace be with you, mercy and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
The identity of Jesus was well known to the discples of Jesus
Peter in Matt 16:16,Martha the sister of Lazarus, the Centurion man,the high priest and many others including the Demons all identified Jesus as the son of God (remember Demons are fallen Angels)matthew8:29.
It is important that we understand who Jesus is, as Jesus himself was interested in knowing whom people said he was. Luke 9:18

All through the Bible the personality of God and Jesus has been established and clearly stated.
It will be illogical for Jesus while he was on Earth to teach that he was sent by his father if he himself was the father.
The question is who sent Jesus?
who did Jesus pray to when he was on the cross or when he raised Lazarus from the grave?Who was Jesus pleading to to take away the cup? John 12:27
Whose will was Jesus referring to when he said father not my will but yours, mark 14:36
The evidence shows that Jesus was not the Father acting as the Son here on Earth but was the Son of God sent by God to the Earth to die as a ransom for man,John 6:38

Jesus, Son of God

The trinity doctrine teaches a 3in 1 god, that there are 3 but equal gods.
It denies the word of God that says Jesus is the BEGOTTEN Son of God. the same way a biological father proceeds his son so also God the Father proceeds his son, Jesus Christ.
The Bible refers to Jesus as the first born of all creations Colossians 1:15,proverbs 8:22-end,Rev 3:14.
Jesus was brought into existence at a certain time by his father before the World was created. Acts 13:33, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

John5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; so it was God that gave Jesus life and not Jesus having his own life independently as claimed by trinitarians.
here are Jesus own words on his origin and existence.
Proverbs 8:22.
Unlike the Angels and other created beings who were made by the hand of God, Jesus proceeded or came out from his father John 8:42,16:27&28,17:8
He had the very nature , image and substance of his father, God. which no other created being has. Hebrews 1:4 Being MADE so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Note: Angels are sons of God by creation,born again Christains are sons of God by adoption (Romans 8:14-15) but Jesus Christ is the Son of God by inheritance Heb 1:4,

Are they Equal?

The trinity teaches that Jesus and the Holyspirit are co-equal with God but the Bible is abundantly clear that the son is not Co-equal with God.
No where in the Bible did Jesus ever call himself God or equate himself to the father rather he reiterated the fact that he was sent by the father to do the will of the father and that the one who sends another is greater than the one sent.John13:16-20.
John 17:13, Matthew 10:40,John 10:18.
Rather than claim equality with God as fasely taught by the trinity doctrine Jesus declares that his father is greater than him in John 14:28,he also calls his father his God Matt 27:46,John 20:17, here are some other verses to clearify this point
1Corinthains11:3,Colossians 1:14-19,John 5:19-47,John 5:19 & 5:20,John 5:27, Isaiah 53:11,Isaiah 42:1,Isaiah 49:7 Luke 24:19,
Philippians 2:5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 2:6 Who, being in the form of God(nature of God, of cos he was born by God so he will bear God's nature), thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men :2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.

God Honours his Son.

After the ressurection and Ascension of Jesus to Heaven God exalted Jesus and gave him a name above every other name Philippians 2:9.
It will be illogical for God to exalts and give power and authority to Jesus if he was co- equal with God and already had those privileges.Ephesians 1:20-23, Mark 12:36.
The Bible also teaches that at the end of the great controversy between good and evil when all power and principalities have been subdued for the sake of Jesus. Than Jesus will subject all things including himself to God 1Corinthians 15:28.

Who is the Holyspirit.

The Holyspirit is not a person or being as taught by the trinitarians but the the Holyspirit is the spirit of God and his Son Jesus, Ephesians 4:30, 1Thessalonians 4:8,God is a spirit who has a spirit which is his mind,will,purpose,power, and presence Genesis 1:2, Zachariah 4:6, 1peter 1:1.
It is this spirit that God sends to us that dwells in us and enables us to do his will,Romans 8:9&11, 1john4:13, Isaiah 63:11, 1Corinthains 3:16, 1 Corinthians 12:8-11,John 7:39,14:17, Ezeikel 36:27.
Just as we showed earlier that Jesus did nothing of his own will or desire but that of his father so also the Holy spirit can only speak and show what it is instructed to say . This is evidence that it is not a being Co-equal with God that has it's own power and will.
There are few verses that have been taken out of context and are used by the trinitarians to promote their false doctrines
E.g is that the Bible refers to the Holy spirit as HE this does not prove anything because there are examples in the Bible where non- living things are personified or expressed with words like he or his examples are in proverbs 1:20,7:4,8:1,9:1where wisdom and knowledge are reffered to as he,his,she this also applies to the Holy spirit.
The Holy Spirit is likened to a gift
In Luke 11:13,God pours out his Holy spirit Acts 2:18.
The identity and function of the Holy Spirit will be treated in subsequent articles.

Implications of the Trinity doctrine.

This doctrine has severe implications and consequences as it teaches that Jesus is not the literal Son of God,that Jesus is the same age as the father and has always existed along side him but this will make them twins and not a real Father and Son it also teaches that the holyspirit is a being Co-equal and co-eternal making them triplets.

Thus the trinity doctrine denies that both the father and son are two different persons thus it denies their personality or persons.

Apostle Paul taught Christains that the Antichrist is anyone or teaching that denies Jesus is the son of God and thus denies the father and son 1John2:22-23,1john 4:3
It distorts who God says he is.
The doctrine of trinity also lends credance or promotes the Catholic teaching that Mary is the mother of God since it claims Jesus is God and Co-equal to God. It is not surprising that this trinity doctrine was instituted by the usual suspects the Catholic Church and they claim it is the foundation on which all other of there teachings is based on.

Note:The angel that delivered the message to Virgin Mary told her that the child will be called( the Son of God) and not God. Nothing stops God from describing Jesus as God or his twin or avatar, rather he used the adjective SON of God to distinguish him from the Father.

Conclusion.
The trinity doctrine cannot be proved in the Bible neither does it have any divine origin or inspiration.
It is one of those man made doctrines that have crept into Christaintity. it is unacceptable to God and contracdicts God's word about himself.
A lot of lies have been sold to us as Bible doctrines which are not Biblical, I urge the readers to do more research on this topic and to diligently search the word of God 2 Timothy 2:15, just like Paul said that we should prove all things through the scripture, rightfully dividing the word of God and not depending on men or some few Bible verses that have been lifted out of context inorder to suit a preconcieved belief or idea.1Thessalonians 5:21

Thank you.

First, note that "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" - (2 Timothy 3:16)

Second, the 1st book of John was Holy Spirit inspired in approximately 85 - 95 A.D. in which GOD declares "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." - 1 John 5:7

Finally, by your admission "Constantine..." was on and walked this earth from approx. "(AD 280—337)"

So pray tell, which was revealed first??

Just as notable... the very first mention of GOD Almighty as Triune (i.e. consisting of Three in One) is in Genesis where one can read, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." - Genesis 1:26

"I and my Father are one." - John 10:30

The trinity doctrine is not biblical. Jesus Christ as said by the Holy Writ (The Bible) opined that He (Jesus) is sitting at the right hand of power (God) in revelation. Jesus is not Yahweh and neither are they co-equal.

To buttress more on this, read up; 1 Cor. 15:24-28

24 Then cometh the end, when he (Jesus) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God (Yahweh), even the Father (Yahweh); when he (Jesus) shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For he (Jesus) must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For he (Yahweh) hath put all things under his (Jesus) feet. But when he saith all things are put under him (Jesus), it is manifest that he (Yahweh) is excepted, which did put all things under him (Jesus).

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him (Jesus), then shall the Son (Jesus) also himself be subject unto him (Yahweh) that put all things under him (Jesus), that God (Yahweh) may be all in all.

The clarity of these verses I quoted were fully fulfilled in Revelations Chapter 5 (with emphasis on verses 9 to 14) when power was formally transferred to Jesus as revealed there in other to be the link for our redemption back to God Almighty (Yahweh) as a result of our fall from Grace in the Garden of Eden through our first parents, Adam and Eve!

God(Yahweh) the father has no equal.

Shalom!

"I and my Father are one." - John 10:30

God is Supreme and He Alone Is One but how come some Christians call Jesus God When the Bible never said so. Below is my take with references from the Holy Scriptures;

I Saw In The Night Visions, And, Behold, One Like The Son Of Man (Jesus Christ) Came With The Clouds Of Heaven, And Came To The Ancient Of Days (God Almighty Father, Yahweh), And They Brought Him Near Before Him. (Daniel 7: 13)
The Revelation Of Jesus Christ, Which God (Yahweh, Jehovah) Gave Unto Him, To Shew Unto His Servants Things Which Must Shortly Come To Pass; And He Sent And Signified It By His Angel Unto His Servant John: (Revelation 1:1)

Jesus Said Unto Them, If God Were Your Father, Ye Would Love Me: For I proceeded Forth And Came From God (Yahweh); Neither Came I Of Myself, But He Sent Me. (John 8: 42) How Come Trinitarians Are Preaching Three Gods With Equal Powers And Strength When The Bible Never Said So. What Do You Believe? Bible Never Calls Jesus As God Almighty But Calls Him Only Begotten Son Of God Who Is Subservient To God Almighty And Was Sent By God To Redeem All Mankind To God Almighty By The Shedding Of His Precious Blood As Instructed By The Ancient Of Days.

I keep wondering where the issue or debates of "Jesus Christ Equal God Almighty should be debated" when Jesus Christ already addressed that issue in John 10: 30-38;

30. I and my Father are one.
31. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33. The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35. If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36. Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

Looking at Christ's own defense here is just ok for anyone who wants to learn that Christ never addressed himself as "God" but always call himself "Son of God" as seen in verse 36 where he countered the wrong insinuation by the Jews when they wrongly accused him of making himself "God" in verse 33.

I have heard some Pastors and teachers of the Holy Scriptures saying Jesus Christ was the same as "I AM THAT I AM" and even linked that to what Jesus said before the Jews in John 8: 58 when he said, "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." which to me is barbaric and unscriptural.

Some even take John 1: 1-5 as meaning Jesus Is God the Father when it is very clear here the word God here is what Jesus Christ said in John 10: 34; "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" here Christ was quoting Psalms 82:6; "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High." here Jesus was trying to make the Jews realized that if mere men (mortals) are referred to as god then how much him that came from God, sanctified and ordered to be the Word of God to mankind cannot address himself as "Son of God"? (John 10: 35-36).

If you are going with the Doctrine of Trinity as saying Jesus is of equal status as God Almighty then you are rewriting the Bible which should not be seen with someone professing Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour. Reflect on this, if Jesus is of equal status and form with God then why does the Bible say this; "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:" (Deuteronomy 6:4) and you wondered why Jesus said the followings;
"You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I." (John 14:28); "16. And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17. And he said unto him, Why do you call me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments. (Matthew 19: 16 -17) you can study; Mark 10: 17-18, Luke 18: 18-19. It is very simple Jesus Christ gave all respect to His Father in Heaven as the only God that is Good and not even Him for he always "reverence His Father". I don't think it would be appropriate to say "a God is showing reverence to another God" which is clearly what you are insinuating. Jesus also said this about His God, my God, your God whom we worship; "But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." (Matthew 24:36). Even the book of Mark 13: 32 was deeper in this; "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."! As you can see if Jesus is God of equal power and form with God he wouldn't have said only God is good nor him accepting the fact that not even him as the "Son" knows the hour when the last days judgment shall come.

I can go on and on where Christ was speaking and not his Apostles now but him talking about his status with God which I believe you can relate to but let me stop here because I know as an Holy Spirit- filled reader of the Bible you can be guided by the Spirit of Wisdom and Truth to know more about Jesus Doctrine which is Divine and Doctrines of Men which is sensual. Take care and God bless you.
