This Archbishop John Onaiyekan is Northern

lapo:
Physician heal thyself is a common biblical quote but it seems Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) will not heed this advice. The organisation's criticism of the APC Muslim-muslim ticket has exposed as guilty of the same offence. Kettle calling pot black? No Northern Christian has ever been appointed as President of the organisation.

SINCE 1976 TILL DATE NO NORTHERN CHRISTAIN HAS BEEN ELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF CAN , WHY ??

Does it mean there is no competent northern Christain that can head CAN

Dominic Cardinal Ekandem (late) from 1976 till 1986

Anthony Cardinal Okogie from 1988 till 1995.

Prelate Sunday Mbang from 1994 till 2003.

Primate Jasper Akinola from 2003 till 2007.

Archbishop John Onaiyekan from 2007 till 2010.

Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor from 2010 till 2016.

, and the current president, Reverend (Dr) Samson Ayokunle, who was elected in 2016

If CAN as a body of Christ see no Northerner qualified to be their president noting wrong with APC following the foot step of CAN .

#TooMuchHypocrisyInNigeria

It simply a CSR of the local church assembly to the immediate community it is domiciled and not that it is a project donated by the national headquarter of their G.O. Other RCCG churches all over the country can do similarly in their locations...

Amayabor1:
I really want to ask something; why are RCCG projects concentrated in the south west? You never hear them doing anything in the South South, South east or North. Is it that their members are made up of only Yoruba people? Or those outside the south west do not pay tithes and offerings?

The very bane of the party is putting forward the wrong southern candidate who, though has the right to contest, is at the same time not the ideal option based on Nigeria peculiar ethno/religious situation. He claims to chose the vice based on competence over religious biase but the truth is he knows he stands no chance getting votes from Northern muslims if he goes for "a competent northern christian"(the north isn't bereft of competent christian politicians)..apc might have lost it in the presidential primaries but let's see what will actually play out in 2023.

waice6571:
No matter how people try to paint Muslim/Muslim Ticket in Nigeria, it remains what it is; all shades of wrong!

I don't know why people are not asking the right questions....!

Why did Buhari chose Pst Tunde Bakare and Yemi Osinbajo... christians/pastors as his running mates to balance the equation while vying for the office of the president?

Why can't he choose Tinubu as his running mate in 2015 and try to sell Muslim/Muslim ticket to Nigerians?

Tinubu may lose the trust of the south and the north will cleverly withdraw their support for him some minutes to the election....

Someone should ask former president Goodluck Jonathan the taste of Northern betrayer....

Your take is on point. Their value is based on their naked display and the illusions they feel from attentions they get from similarly immoral members of the opposite sex. However, they can't do it for a lifetime as diminishing returns sets in to reset their mindsets..

RedChiefPriest:
For real I also want to know,like is there a reason for it or just fashion?
Is it for air to get inside or any other benefit?
Normal normal it's not really much of a concern to me since the women in my family no dey dress like that and my future wife won't dress like that ,but still I always feel like there must be a reason for someone to expose all or half of the breast.


Dj! 4 cups of palmwine with 4 alligator pepper to reason this matter further.
Barman! Play me "Under cover" by Aquaman and Rihanna.

Your ridge is likely on a slopy landscape or not level to have water run off the drip point as you explained. You could tie something loosely around the drip point to prevent water runoff and allow water to drip at the point.

Nastolly:
At farmer akin and others pls sirs sorry to disturb pls how do I solve the problem of water not dropping on the spot I want it to(drip tape)

You said it aptly. The narrative would've been different were it to be Baba OBJ, another previous military leader,in power now. This current Baba had been too sectional, ethnocentric and so soft with terrorists/bandits probably because they are mostly people of shared ethnicity/religion with him. A leader shouldn't be seen like this.

Axis313:
It's still unbelievable that a country headed by a retired military head of state is at the mercy of bandits and terrorists.
Nigeria has never had it this worse,security wise under previous administrations,it's a mystery how the man attain the level of Major General in the army.
For the bandits/terrorists to have the audacity to attack the president's convoy meant the common man is on his own,our security is in the hands of God.
Assuming that if baba was in the convoy,na so those bandits go just delete am.His nonchalant attitude is what is giving those idiots audacity to cause may hem and now,it is happening to him.

The prison break looks obviously suspicious...your take could be one of several probabilities ..let's keep watching watching this political shenanigans playing Nigerians

omegaeec:
It simple calculations. After the train attack, the bandits negotiated with the government to release their top members in their custody but since the government can't just do that, hence they planned the attack on the prison to release the bandits.

Breaking news next week will be:

KIDNAPPED TRAIN VICTIMS HAS BEEN RELEASED

If the worker you meant is your farm manager, it's
Ok he makes sales on your behalf. But if it's
your farmhand you entrust sales it's not ok.

SoftHeart:
Which market was that please?
My worker sold at N9,500 today at Shasha market, Akure.

It's nothing to worry about. Leaf roll isn't a disease. Some tomato species do that in reaction to weather or changes in weather/environment.

Nastolly:
Pls sirs what's causes this in tomatoes and how can it be controlled

It's not out of place that they will not vote him from that particular section of the country but it shows that the country is not united and justify reasons separatists agitate for their own nation where individuals will not be viewed as outcasts in a country he claims citizen with the right to vote and be voted.

tosintoks:
I like and respect Peter Obi as an individual, but the simple truth of the matter is that the masses in the North will not vote for him.

Bandits have killed Nigerians including soldiers. How many of their hideouts have they burnt down or responded to in this qick manner...especially on the captives of the Kaduna Abuja train in bandit's forest

Fairmedia:
Try to avoid killing a soldier, the military live by their creed, they wont let it slide, it's bad for military business, if they allow people kill soldiers and get away with it.

Very uncivilized as you say and quite stupid if I may add. There are known terrorists hideouts on our highways and forests making life miserable for citizens they are meant to protect and also to maintain their territorial integrity. They will not go after such and liberate the captive nigerians... but all they are quick to respond to is the same harmless citizens for who killed their colleague.

Imstrong2:
Backward and uncivilized response since I was born have never heard American soldiers burning cities for a killed colleague only naija

Don't mind our folks who are in haste to pass baseless judgement that the senator is already guilty without conclusive trial...

sekundosekundo:
If your UK is not worst than NIGERIA why is it that they don't arrest your politicians who came to invest looted funds in UK even when they know that the money is a stolen money but they'll arrest them for crime?
PLS ANSWER ME.

Ekweremmandu notified UK of his coming with the said boy and it was on paper.
He even told them that the boy is coming as a donor unknown to him that the boy and his gang has other motives against Ekweremmandu.

Uniform clothing for pupils or students simply implies same dress code. The verdict means 'disuniform' will now be the dress code...religious dress codes should be left for faith based schools or states in support of it.

chukwugoziegi:
I totally agree with him.

If they can allow other students to wear hijab then traditional worshippers can come to school dressed in their costumes too. Make all of us kukuma craze together.

The government is like non-existent as it seems and the country is likened to the Hobbesian state of nature under the watch of a so called retired military man. An OBJ will not tolerate this rubbish however he is viewed

I am no spin doctor or fan of your Tinubu or Buhari or this Atiku and any politician at that or come here to spew trash on their behalf. I have just said the obvious applicable to any of the lot...

Cherrybae:
But if it were to be TINUBU or Buhari will you say this. I guess you will mention the mixture of bleaching cream they used and even how many times they apply it on there body daily.

Mtcheeeeeew

Exactly nothing really. He is in his 70s. He can't have youthful looking skin

Fireboy02:
It's d camera, nothing much

It's kind of a global epidemic with negative social change. Most Nigerian artistes are part of these lewd lyricists. Music of the 80s and early 90s are are far better compared. Also fueling the scourge are corporate bodies that prefer these vulgar music mongers as their brand ambassadors...another damage to our impressionable young minds that see artisetes as role models...

Two02:
Honestly the entertainment industry has suceeded in promoting unhealthy societal values from drugs, nudity to internet fraud. Even artistes who claim to teach societal value and emancipation from mental slavery swith their lyrics still lead an unhealthy lifestyle. Next in entertainment industry is the comedy industry it's no longer comedy nowadays but an avenue to sexualize themselves.

Comedies no longer make people laugh but creates an avenue for perverted human beings to satisfy their sexual curiosity. Artistes now release sex tapes to promote their artistry. The music and comedry industry has been infiltrated by talentless individuals who now claim to be musicians and comedians to create avenue to spend and clean their dirty money without fear of anti grafts agencies.

The entertainment industry is plagued with mediocrity, it no longer celebrate Good talent and artistry, but mediocrity, moral and sexual immorality.

It still baffles that it's happening time and again in a country headed by a so called retired military general...it....something seems fishy

Ambode4g:
This is really really unacceptable. How can this be happening for God sake. The people who orchestrated this act will not know peace.
I wonder why the government are not addressing this issue.
The country is supposed to be in serious search for the people that committed these murders

You patronised a prostitute but killed her after by claiming your righteous self found your religious holy book in her room where you went to furnicate. This is the mentality of these northen religious fanatics that claim they are superior than adherents of different faiths in Nigeria. We cannot simply cohabit with most northerners..apologies to their minority good folks.

Bahamas95:
These demons should be separated from normal Nigerians, they're animals.

Calling them animals is even an insult to animals because animals have more conscience than them.

Youths holding powers then were so priviledged as there weren't many that are educated to compete with them for positions. Besides population was not overbearing on opportunities then. However those who went to school then were much lettered and savvy in their chosen fields. Todays youth aren't lazy...less opportunities made them seem so

Realist12:
I quite agree with Buhari tagging the youths of today as lazy . Those days the youths were in power at younger age and focused on their dreams and contributions to the country . But to understand the political atmosphere of the country right now is a big deal but they are verse on everything going on in social media.
The youths of today are mediocres to be honest , spoiled brats .

It could be true even if fake news as long as the actors are ilks of those murderers in Sokoto residing in that part of Lagos. Very stupid lot.

Iamcrypto:
I still don’t believe, Can this ever happen in Lagos

It's not a must to be lettered before you can be called to speak in an ivory tower. The likes of Ifayemi Elebuibon and Nike Okundaye have had the rare priviledge of lecturing in Ivy league universities based on their genius. Anyone with valuable content or case study can be called..same applies to the so called MC who has some managerial skill despite not having advanced education...

Zonefree:
For SW to choose Tinubu over Osinbajo shows that region is allergic to good personality.

Same region that a State University invited MC Oluomo as a special guest speaker in Educative seminar. Same region that values Agbero more than Scholars... God forbid! Tueh!

Lols, please calm down. Don't loathe fellow human based on his looks. We don't create ourselves...besides beauty is in the eye of the beholder...the one in Ghana is hardly any different

Assetinvestor:
Two ugly, dirty looking, old and sick people? I would rather denounce Nigeria and take up Ghanain citizenship than to accept such disgusting pair as my leaders.

Spits!!!

This should be what a country's military should have been doing over the years the country is being attacked not just in Owo. How can our forests be den of terrorists and nothing is done about it. If it means destroying every thing on site to deal with terror it is worth it...we've had more than enough. It's more than war and our military is docile...rubbish

Uchedeformula:
What about the very famous Amotekun? They can at least lead the search for the perpetrators. Every neighbouring forest should be ransacked

A big shame that a country headed by a so called retired army general is beleaguered with constant killings by marauders and nothing can be done over the years to check it....of what use is such government...what really is the duty of our military that's believed to protect the country from such aggression...those with claims that those in power are accessories may not be far from being correct..

inoki247:
lol clueless General na eternal sorrow u dey wish dem u no talk say u av instant death for them...

Lols..the APC is condemned to pick a southwestern flagbearer,an ACN. Already the North know the APC is tending towards it's last days as the party is gradually reverting to pre-apc formation of different parties that wrestled PDP and Jonathan. The aim of the then merger seems to have climaxed. However the North might return to power...

AlexBells:
I had always remained vehement that if Nigeria MUST be United, then the Unitary System is not going to be negotiated it should continue.

Like I said earlier, the race to 2023 is a war that must be diplomatically waged. The North already have a candidate Atiku Abubakar, the East already have a candidate Peter Obi and Should a Westerner clinch the Ticket then the West would already have a candidate, this would take us back to the 60s Nigerians political model.

It is no surprising that evolution is taking place, however I'm happy that the evolution is such that we are adapting to the system. To me, it all feel like killing two birds with one stone.

The East shall consolidate however like I told a very good Yoruba friend of mine, the Igbo nation shall no longer go with the Eastern nomenclature rather we are AlaIgbo, there is no need dissolving our prestigious identity for other nationalities who don't value the sacrifices to carry along.

All is good ladies and gentlemen, every Reasonable Igbo should get their PVC, the first war our parents fought with weapons, it is a bit of relief that this second war is starting with just your PVC, it is better to vote than to shoot however not opposed to any other option if it becomes necessary.

After this, I believe every regional tension and sentiments should give way or a dialogue case should be opened. For evolution to take place, I think a Westerners should emerge in APC, watch the country restructure naturally while the structure remains intact.

This does not take away extreme options, we still wait for all primary conclusions. Let meet at the election day I'm not doubting that a lot can happen before Monday or Tuesday but fair and square give the West the APC ticket and watch everyone answer their names. We are the land of the rising sun.

...one was so stupidly stingy that her child died just because she wouldn't assist the husband in paying hospital bills of their ailing child needing medical care as the man could no longer continue medical bills...meanwhile she could assist. However not all women are this callous minded . Reasonable, sensible and godly women/wife may be rare but they still exist

pansophist:
I fault the media for giving such an idiot platform to air her rubbish, ending up disgracing herself, and deceiving the gullible mind.

If its the duty of a man to provide, is it not also the duty of the woman to be supportive? So how can a woman be truly supportive if she can't support her husband with money when the situation calls for it? Imagine two people in a car, it makes sense if the other passenger can drive just in case the current driver gets tired or maybe collapse while driving.

A passenger refusing to drive because its the duty of the driver to drive is foolishness. Its self-defeating, because you're a team, and you must be able to assist in reaching your destination if the situation calls for it. Of course the driver knows its his responsibility to drive, but still, no one knows what might happen.

Lots of family have crashed because of selfish shortsighted foolish women that carry the "its your duty as a man to provide" slogan. I know someone that was deported just because he lost his job and the wife was like this foolish woman. He would have stayed in Germany if she was working and the husband and kids can stay based on her work permit. Selfishness is like corruption, you destroy the future for the greed of today.

Exactly no bases for comparison and feeling entitled to justify criminal acts of a people that are unrepentant, evil and destructive to host communities across the country...

baretalk:
Why is this man supporting killing and destruction
Is he not supposed to be an Imam?
What does religion stand for, for good or evil?

So many questions, no answers.

The Deltans had their lands destroyed by the oil exploration that built Abuja and Nigeria, they deserve it, what does Fulani give to us, Fulanis owe us, because we made them rich by buying their cows and giving them space in our thriving lands ands cities. We don't owe Fulanis nothing, they owe us, your comparison Mr Gumi your argument is false, and based on nepotism, because both situations are different. The Niger Delta militants are kids from the oil region, whose lands were soaked with oil, they can't fish or farm, that oil money still feeds the whole Nigeria today.

The Bishop's observation was based on sighting military checkpoint at close proximity to the spot he was abducted with his colleagues. Rationally it's not out of place to wonder why crime of such nature could be perpetrated by their abductors knowing full well our military is by. It is either those guys he saw in military fatigues are fake or if they are real men they are strictly minding their business which shouldn't be...our military should be made to clear out all bush and forest these criminals use as hideouts to erase any doubt that nothing is fishy...

Beremx:
the Methodist Bishop isn’t the first to say this neither is he the last. TY Danjuma, a whole retired army general has told Nigerians same revelation. So why should the Bishop be interrogated?

No one will feel he can ride roughshod on another fellow because he has guns, especially those kidnappers and bandits operating without resistance on highways. It will be level playing field but it isn't going to be cool too...instances like the shootings in the US could be worse here. But this guns are in the hands of those that shouldn't ...govt security agencies shouldn't allow this or be seen as shielding those with it.

headbasher96:
Imagine if this was igeria

Very true...

moyinoluwabun:
Same thing that is wrong with Christian-Christian Ticket.
