YinkaOlusesi16: your tithes to GOD is different from the money u give to the poor, obedient is better than sacrifice.
Which tithes is Mark Zuckerberg paying..did he experience near success syndrome
Tithing is an old testament arrangements...in the new dispensation and economy of salvation its all about freedom giving according to your state of understanding...
In the early church people even gave all they have..they could give less too...
What did you give your father for him to take care of you from infancy?
You are his child he will naturally take care of you because you are his...but when you start thinking that you must do this and do that to get your father to give you something..you have lost the spirit of sonship...you are in an unproductive transactional relationship.
As a son you will do what will please your father because he is your loving father not so that he can bless you
Okoroawusa: Jonathan wasn't ready and willing to be president.
Run away from a man whose motto in life is, "May God's will be done at his appointed time". He may make a good follower but certainly not a great leader.
Shouldn't we put the blame on him who picked him as vice president when there better candidattes like Duke and even Dora?
Obasanjo was simply trying to compensate for the massacre he ordered in Odi, balyesa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRjDUZMnLlw It appears the gloves are now off for a bare knuckle fist between the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola and his estranged godfather, Bola Tinubu. The former Osun State governor on Monday tore violently into Tinubu and told him that the same treatment meted out to a former Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, which foreclosed his re-election bid in 2019, would be administered on his brother and Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola.
Aregbesola, who spoke in Ijebu Ijesa, Osun State, while addressing party faithful and stakeholders in the state ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary, was reportedly attacked by some suspected thugs, during a roadshow in Osogbo, Osun State capital.
Although for the 21 minutes and 12 seconds that he spoke, Aregbesola did not at any point mention Tinubu’s name, he however made ignoble passes at him in relation to the political situation in Osun State, including how he has abused his leadership and suddenly assumed the god complex.
Below are THISDAY’s transcription and translation of Aregbesola’s address, which he delivered in the Yoruba language. Excerpts:
“I’m happy that we sent for you all and you honoured our invitation. Those we specifically asked to be invited here are party leaders from the ward level to the state. They are the critical stakeholders and I’m certain they are the ones here.
“Although some, who are not with us would be here also – the informants to the other camps. But we’re no longer afraid of no one at this stage except God. You’re at liberty to listen to whatever we say here and go share with them over there. And I’m happy you’re here.
“However, if we have to throw the cards open and start all over again, this party is ours. Let me repeat myself for clarity: this is the core Afenifere – a progressive group, that genuinely loves the people, the society and also loves itself. I’m not talking about cosmestised good. This is Awolowo’s group; it is Bola Ige’s group. It is also Baba Akande’s group, before he partly left us.
“We joined you in this same group in 2004; the group we laboured in pain and anguish to put together from 2004 to 2010, November 26, before court gave us victory. This is the same group. Therefore, stop calling yourselves a faction; you are the main APC. Let me put it more succinctly, if our great leaders, who have passed on, had the opportunity of returning to this life, it is this same party they would join. They would not join a party that is not theirs.
“It would be almost impossible for Bola Ige to return to this same life and refuse to be part of this party. It would be very difficult. It would be impossible for Papa Awolowo too to come back to life and elect to join another party in Osun other than ours. It would be difficult. And those of us who are still living are also here in this same party.
“There’s no latter-day member here. Everyone here started with us from day one. Even if some had left at some point, we knew why they left. There’s no one here, who did not suffer with us. That’s the summary of my submission; that they have returned to where they’ve always belonged, and to also return the party to where it should be, because we had hitherto followed the instructions of our leader, whom we thought was true to type.
“We followed and served this leader with all our might. In fact, our loyalty to him had caused some people to start wondering if we were no longer Muslims. But we were with him and served him according to the admonition of our forefathers, who said when serving anyone, we should do so with sincerity and loyalty; that if you regard anyone as your principal, you must serve him wholeheartedly.
“Sadly, we didn’t know that while we wished him well, he didn’t think good of us. However, because we placed him higher than where he ordinarily should be, he started to think he is our god. Unfortunately, for him, we had sworn to God that whoever compares himself to him, we’d beg Him to bring down such a fellow.
“God says he does not have a rival, and if you heard what I said in Arabic, God said, ‘He is God and he didn’t have to start procreating before He’ll assume His place as God; that only humans procreate. You are the ones, who attach importance to procreation.
“As God, He doesn’t need a child to dwell in his glory. He does not need any family member or younger siblings to regale in His majesty. That He does not even need a group to be who He is. That He is God and that’s who He is. So, whoever puts himself in place of God, well, let him be his own god.
“With suffering, pains and perseverance, we nurtured this party to the stage it is – with sweat, tears, blood and even lost lives. It is by God’s grace that someone like me didn’t pay the supreme price too. May those who lost their lives to the struggle find peace with the Lord. (He mentioned names of some of those who died). As tough as it was, we did not seek revenge.
“We took over government on November 27, 2010 and by 28th, we announced that whoever sought revenge would be struck down by God. We only handed over to God, those who made us suffer. After we served for eight years, it wasn’t only party members that benefitted from our administration, the entire state did. I went everywhere in Osun with projects.
“However, by the time my successor was handed over to me around May or July 2018, I was told, ‘Rauf, this is the ideal successor that would stand by you. He would further showcase your efforts. He would not betray you; he would not dim the light of your glory’. That was what the person, who handed him over to me said. If the person is listening to me, it would resonate with him, if he said so or not.
“But, did he do as he was vouched for? And when he reneged on these promises, did the person, who handed him over to me draw his attention to these failings? Anyway, isn’t the person the one we now see today?
“Meanwhile, we are here at this station on three grounds and if we go about it honestly, we’d never regret this. First is, God detests hypocrisy. That He is above all things, but hypocrisy, he’d never go close to. However, our prophet, Mohammed (SWA), said: ‘Assist the hypocrite and the victim of hypocrisy.
“But when asked to clarify the logic behind such a statement, he answered and said, ‘Listen, it is possible for a hypocrite not to know he is one. However, those of you around should endeavour to join forces with the victim of hypocrisy to prevail over the hypocrite and that way, you would have assisted the hypocrite to change his ways. That’s the first reason we are here and once we can do that, we’d be good to go and they would be the loser. It’s God’s commandment.
“Second, we are the ones looking after the people in every way possible. However, those we put into position of authority to drive the project of caring for the people, have since abdicated this responsibility and we would never share space with such fellows. God says whoever is against the needy is His enemy. To that extent, we have to move away from these people, because we can’t because of our association with them offend God. If we stick to this, we’d prevail.
The third reason is, the things we did that the people wanted, which unfortunately, this man has turned away from and which formed the pride of our government, and which has been the thrust of our party since the days of Awolowo, we would not sit by and watch a fellow, who had no clue about this task, to destroy our efforts.
“We will never assist such a fellow. In a worst case scenario, we’d move away from them. Interestingly, in every group, everyone has a right to their choices. But in making those choices, you must be sure a majority of the members align with you.
“It is possible some share your ideals and it’s also possible some do not. This happened in Lagos recently. There was a governor, who wanted to seek re-election and the party declined and showed him the way out with their votes. So, the same way it was in Lagos then, is exactly the way it is in Osun today. What is good for the goose, is also good for the gander. It cannot be the turn of your younger brother now and you change the rules.”
Meanwhile on the attack on Aregbesola, THISDAY gathered that the gun-wielding hoodlums, suspected to be political thugs, had waylaid his convoy and started shooting in a bid to scare away the former governor of the state and members of his entourage.
THISDAY learnt that Aregbesola had around 5:30pm stood on his open roof vehicle and waived at a large crowd of residents, who were hailing and jubilating at seeing their former governor.
He continued his demonstration amid singing by his followers. Some were screaming “Sheu” as others were waiving brooms. The roadshow pulled so much crowd that there was traffic snarl along the Gbaemu-Idi-Seke road.
But problems started, when Aregbesola got to Orisunbare market, close to the Old Garage,when sounds of gunshots rent the air. Jubilant residents, who were following Aregbesola scampered to safety to escape being hit by stray bullets.
A team of combined security operatives from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Immigration Service and Department of State Security, who were among Aregbesola’s convoy, stepped down from the vehicles and started shooting in a bid to scare away the armed thugs.
For about twenty minutes, Old Garage Area was in panic as traders and road users were distraught as a result of the gunshots from the thugs and security operatives.
omenkaLives: The thing with you iboes is YOY NEVER LEARN.
You make an enemy of everyone and want them to love you in return. How's that working for you so far?
My desire is to see an Osinbajo presidency, but if it goes Tinubus way, hell however he decides to treat you people will be justified in my sight.
You can go ahead and keep insulting him, but do well to stop mentioning me to your show of shame. Your brothers, sisters, and parents are there. You could do so with them.
Stop fooling yourself. It is you Igbos who love to hype Ambode because you always support any Yoruba who is in conflict with the generality of his own fellow Yorubas.
Eg FFK, Fayose, Bode George, Obanikoro etal. The moment Ambode had a problem with APC and Lagos ruling political structure he became the Robin Hood hero of you Igbos to hype ridiculously and fraudulently.
You Igbos will never be objective commentators on events and developments in the SW. You are very predictable. Always easy to tell how you will behave.
I never liked Ambode but the moment I saw the speed with which he expected projects:
The BRT corridor from oshodi to Abule egba, The upgrade of BRT buses to air conditioned ones.
The transport plans he had with decent bus stops and bus parks across the state,
The three bridges at Ajah, Agege and Abule egba,
The linking roods in Alimosho and massive road rehabilitation in ifako jiaye axis
The world class inter change at oshodi The creative solutions he brought to ease traffics in lekki axis by replacing fashola's round about with traffic light, he did same at bergar too ( sanwo olu copied it for Allen)...
The lay by roads at iyana oworo that eased third mainland bridge..
The lay bay roads in alapere that eased traffic on the axis too
Or is it the light up Lagos that saw street lights all working...
In fact Igbo were routing for Jimi Agbaje...Jimi is a great guy in his own right...stop reducing everything to against tinubu and he was also in PDP a party Igbos have always voted.
The same Igbos praised ambode fro his strides.
But not only Igbos love ambode..yoruba who loved progress and freedom too does..
Woke thinks is about croaking like a drunk frog and building fly over with allocation from Abuja....
How has he created wealth in Rivers state in his time there....
It's sad Nigeria just feels a governor must be upgraded to a president....that rubbish thinking must stop
Nigeria needs at least something with global vision for the Nigerian project and a good idea of how to grow the economy..not all thes Loud mouthed feeding bottle governors and recycled career politicianz who lack ideology
Why must PDP or APC be the ones to dictate who we must choose after all the calamity they have caused this country...
It beats me that educated young people are discussing corrupt, colourless actors because they have already accepted it must always be PDP and APC candidate that must be from a particular geographic region ..
This rotation and religion and tribe talk is the ever effective method the elite used to decieve the masses...who always remain at the recieving end of their leadership mediocrity
I understand that some of them claiming IGBOs may not be Igbos, but this situation Reminds me of the days of UGM. Although according to IPOB, UGM are not them, but due to the way they always speak in Facebook supporting UGM, it gave these foreigners (UGM) the boldness to make Havoc on Imo indigenes and Traditional Rulers. and other Mouthed Igbo, please we need to raise a campaign disassociating ourselves from these singular individuals creating enemity between IGBOs and the rest. Let's promote our own and leave others
Nigeria politics is not won by emotion. It is a game that is smartly played. You will never be voted for out of pity. If Ndị Igbo didn't play it well, 100 years from now, no Igbo man will be president. South South will keep taking our slot
This is a demonic topic purposely opened to 'divide and rule' by making the elections a tribal issue instead of the one of ideas and convictions.
These guy is a paid agent....
I am Lagos born Igbo man and I neither despise Yorubas or hate tinubu as a person...I may not align at all with his political and leadership style but that doesn't mean o hate tinubu they are two separate
You need to watch the video and see for yourself that Tinubu will have no match with this economic agenda that aims at transforming the lives of the Nigerian youth.
The way he transformed MC olu omo and thousands of street urchins...
I hope you are a paid agent earning your N10 per post..but you are unpaid then it's a big shame that you can't deduce truth from lies
