We re not so Lucky in Nigeria

TANTUMERGO007:
Who is this man again??

uzohrome:
Buhari is clean we all know that but his style of leadership gives room for questioning his holistic character. For now buhari's integrity is what is paving ways for him. Buhari will complete his 8 years in office. Quote any time

oodualover:
You are very sensible. European countries are split along ethnic lines so reduce tribalism and hate. And to also to foster development.

The language divide at the heart of a split that is tearing Belgium apart

Belgium doesn't exist, only Flanders and Wallonia as Dutch and French communites live apart.

Africa is poor because of enormous ethnic diversity. It is not sensible to lump three of the largest ethnic group in Africa into one. These three ethnic groups are very large and can develop at their own pace.
Split Nigeria!!!

The four ethnolinguistic groups (Germanic, French, Italian, and Rhaeto-Romansh) that make up the native Swiss population have retained their specific characteristics.

NB: this was during the SANUSI's term. He gave lavishly to Flood & Boko Haram victims too while other parts of the country with similar misadventure were not so helped or is it rewarded?

barcanista:
Since I was born, I have never witness the kind of hypocrisy, double standard and demonisation that is currently perpetrated by Muhammadu Buhari, the APC, Alhaji Sanusi, Osinbajo and their "good governance crusaders" against the person of President Goodluck Jonathan, Allison Madekwe, and other government officials.

Alhajis Buhari and Sanusi and APC have been going about using every platform to talk about a "missing $20b", cheered by their hypocritical followers that pride themselves as good governance crusaders. They have deliberately gone blind over the fraud of CBN under Sanusi as outlined by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria report in February 2014.

Sanusi Indicted And Removed For Fraud
According to the report (see below) Sanusi was indicted for Gross Misconduct that bothers on fraud and financial recklessness among other offence. The FRCN subsequently advised Mr President to remove Lamido Sanusi from office for further investigation and probe after the explanation of Sanusi appeared more like a tale and outrightly illogical according to FRCN. The council indicates that the explanation provided by Sanusi is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”

The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”


April 2014: VP-elect Yemi Osibanjo Filed Case To Stop Sanusi Probe
Rather than Sanusi to prove his innocence in court, he filed a case in Federal High Court, Lagos to STOP FRCN and Other Security Agencies from investigating and prosecuting him through three Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, Dr. Kanyinsola Ajayi and Kola Awodien.
http://www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=24587

13 May 2014: Lagos Judge Tshoho Grants Sanusi Prayers
High Court Judge John Tshoho rather than uphold the constitutional powers of FRCN to investigate probe Sanusi, he granted the prayers of Lamido Sanusi and BARRED FRCN from further investigation or probing Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. In his own words...
“Prejudice is very pronounced in the language of that document. The language of the briefing note (transmitted by the FRCN to the presidency) conveys a sense of the defendant desperately goading the presidency to deal with the plaintiff,”
“The plaintiff submitting himself for investigation (by FRCN) is like the cockroach finding itself in the midst of fowls. Such a cockroach cannot be innocent,”.
http://www.tv360nigeria.com/?p=11923

Despite the fact the President Jonathan commissioned PWC to audit NNPC books to ascertain the veracity or otherwise of Sanusi's claim, Buhari, APC, Sanusi and their online agents that parade themselves as good governance and anticorruption apostles have been crying blue murder but refused to comment on the FRCN report nor the APC's VP elect role in shielding Sanusi for probe.

April 26, 2015: Buhari's Display of Hypocrisy
In his usual hypocrisy, General Buahri vowed to re-visit the $20b allegation but said NOTHING about the FRCN report. In his own word... “Imagine a situation where the former CBN governor who by God ‘s grace would later become the  Emir of Kano raised an  issue of missing billions of money, not in Naira but in Dollars, $20 billion.
“What happened, instead of investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not, they simply found a reason to remove him. So these are the issues we are talking about…"
Contrary to the lies of Alhaji Buhari, Sanusi wasn't removed because he raised alarm, he was removed because he was indicted by FRCN. Jonathan also never kept mute, he commissioned PWC to audit the books. Buhari was also blind to talk about prosecuting Sanusi for the CBN fraud. Perhaps the Emir is as "incorruptible" as him(Buhari)

seguno2:
Yes oh.
Buhari is President while law professor Osinbajo is Vice President.
The southerners have zoned 2019 president to the north.
Kwankaso gave $1 billion to Niger republic to build a school with no checks.
Do you need any more signs to know that Nigeria is owned by the north

seguno2:
Sounds like what Buhari and APC did to us.

proudlyYoruba:
As for the present you are right on point but for our past history, you are wrong sire. Have you taken ur time to read books by Africans and neutral rather than European accounts. Have you opened books on 'HOW EUROPE UNDERDEVELOPED AFRICA' and 'WHEN WE RULED'. Have you heard of the Mali empire which the lowest scholar has atleast a over thousand collections of books, the Benin empire, the Igbo ukwu art, the aso oke making. No, you haven't. Africa was rich and but was plundered and destroyed. Just look if i want to see the wonders of my forefathers i have to get to Europe. The Great wall of benin, the Ghana empire. The richest in the history of humanity is African is Mansa Musa of great mali, a man who bought close to 6000 scholars from Mecca, a man who singlehandedly brought gold down for ten years. The scholars of timbuktu now an improverished town in Mali knew our world (earth) revolved around the sun when their counterparts in Europe believed it was flat. Our books where burnt, our royals killed, our philosophers murdered. That was our AFRICA

okay if banky w made wizkid, why can't he make another wizkid then

I'm not saying wizzy should be ungrateful, no, but, how long will you carry a favor you did for someone?

wasn't it even a business? or did banky allow wizzy to keep 100% of all the money made between them?

Paperwhite:
Atiku have the lying nature of every APC member.
Even Buhari hypocritically said even shedding tears that he will never contest election again in Nigeria but the rest today is history. But zombies are not worry about that.No wonder all promises have been cancelled and denied.

idumuose:
‎​Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) General Muhammdu Buhari (rtd)  has said that he will not seek any elective office again after  Saturday's Presidential election.

Speaking at grand finale of  his electioneering campaign in Abuja yesterday, Buhari said the 2011 campaign was significant for him because it is an election in which more unambigously than the previous two, “2003 and 2007, our victory is assured as evidenced by the unprecedented turnout by people and spontaneous popular acclaim all over the country.”

“This campaign is the third and last one for me since after it I will not present myself again for election into the office of the president,” Buhari said.

While commending voters for  coming out mass to vote last Saturday, the CPC presidential candidate however, said it was not good enough, “you must maintain your presence during the counting  and collation of votes and announcements of results. Because you haven't done this in all cases, they have already started turning your victories into defeats."

Buhari said the “the massive rigging that took place last Saturday is unacceptable and you must not allow a repeat performance next Saturday”.

Although he did not directly talk about the failed alliance between the CPC and the Action Congress of Nigeria, the former head of state said the task of defeating the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the election is a collective one saying, “in the end we must all in unison send the PDP government packing by giving it a punch on the mouth”.

TonyeBarcanista:
Well, equity and fairness is part of a just system

slowie:
I have read Deut 14 you kept on quoting. The point there is that I should eat my tithe.
Pastors represent Levites in the Church today. They collect the tithe for the purpose of the house of God not for their personal use. Pastors are suppose to be on allowance or salary in every organized church. The rest is to take care of the needy and less privilege as well as for the expansion of the gospel of Christ.

Read the whole of Malachi 3.
Like I said you can choose to 'EAT' your tithe as it contained in Deut. 14 or bring to the Church (not the pastor) so that there will be resources in the house of God.

Hebrews 7

1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3 Without father, without mother, without descent, [1] having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: 6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. 8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

My question is those there were into non~farming activities what should be there tithe?
Now this verse 25 of Deutronomy 14 you quoted

I Never Knew You

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

So Malachi 3:10 is no longer part of the bible. abi? because it doesn't sound nice to your ears
you choose to obey the part of bible that suites you, that you should EAT your tithe yourselves.
If that is what you have decided to do, its fine.
You can't possibly teach an adult how to spend his money.

Malachi 1 King James Version (KJV)

6 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?

7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the Lord is contemptible.

8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of hosts.

chisco82:
So tithe is made for farmers only. Is that what you are saying?
Now im not forcing anyone to, but whatever is ur product that you need to bring for there to meet in the lord's house bring it. That is accounted for ur tithe. You can convert that your product to money, farm product or the church can choose to. Just give the equivalent.

MrPristine:
It's the bible that called it annulment not me and it's wrong of you to amend what God has annulled.
That's rebellion.

Themandator:
I didn't cherry pick ...I am pointing out that your statement that tithe is on crop and not and never money doesn't hold water .... if it was in crop or produce of the land then the passage won't move to say ...so ther might be meat in mine house but would have read...so that might be all manners of land produce in mine house

Then when Jesus addressed his disciples before sending them out on evangelism he said they should not take shoe, coat that every labourer is worthy of his meat ....they ought t have asked him about clothes since meat is not same as coat or shoe. .....as the apostles preached Jesus expected their needs to be met by their new convert when he stated that every labourer was worthy of their hire .... God would use their peolel to pay them whatever their need was

You see, it is a word play. Bring ye all the tithe ....that mine House maybe full.....so that every need in mine house can be met without begging or gimmicks

Malachi 1 King James Version (KJV)

6 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?

7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the Lord is contemptible.

8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of hosts.

This is Jesus speaking here.
Luke 11:42 KJV
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
The bolded means paying of tithe is not negotiable, it"s an obligation that needed to be done while not negecting other things.

hardasan:
22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

23 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.

28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:

29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

Furthermore, verse 23 talks about the tithe of farm produce and livestock. What happens to others ?
Verse 28-29 says after 3yrs you should bring your all your tithe to be eaten. How possible is that ? So if u earn 1m every yr, after the 3rd yr, you'll cough up roughly your 4months salary that year (300,000ngn) to buy beer and corn? Can you and your pastor finish the tithe ? Or do you pay tithe in December once in 3yrs ?
I Want you to respond.

Ebisco015:
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, has said that despite losing the recent Anambra governorship election, the Party’s performance clearly showed inroad is being made in the South East.

He stated this on Thursday while receiving some new entrants into the Party at the APC national secretariat, Abuja.

He said: “I consider that we have made a lot of gains in spite of not winning Anambra state.

“But it is clear if people interpret properly that the APC given the base from which we were starting, given the kind of intense propaganda that goes out there that the South East is against the APC – whether it is religion, ethnic or even historical – we have made some progress. But we are not resting on that.

“We are immediately setting up a team to study the elections, to look at whatever significant issues it has thrown up, to find ways in which we can improve our performance as we spread into the rest of the South East, basically to tell us what we did not do right in Anambra State which we need to correct as the electoral processes begin in the rest of the South East.

“We hope it will throw up valuable lessons that will help us perform much better in subsequent elections in the South East.

“For people to join us at this time is a clear indication that they understand what is going on and are ready to put their names, reputation, energies, and resources behind our effort to rebuild the country and be part of this process of change.

“This is a struggle that we must win. The nation cannot afford to lose, because greatness beckons and unless we get our act right, we are not going to get there.”

They blame GEJ because he refused to fix his place and instead concentrated in fixing the North that had been the primary beneficiaries of the national cake. PH airport is a mess. East-West federal road is in shamble. Enugu-Onitsha is not worth mentioning anymore. Is it PH-Enugu?

Abacha used PTF to develop the North. Instead of GEJ to capitalize on his tenure to bridge the gap in infrastructural development, he was busy building almajiri schools and giving $2b to Dasuki. A man who has the opportunity to build his falling house but chose to rebuild the house of well off neighbour is a slowpoke. GEJ himself acknowledged this anomaly and these shortcomings but it was a tad too late.
