mbulela: attempting to sacrifice our collective good on the altar of [size=13pt]political patronage.[/size]
These clowns ought to be tied to a stake and stoned.
I hope GEJ withstands the pressure to worship on the altar of mediocrity in this matter.

HammedSodiqq: Tinubu expressed happiness that Mimiko himself said Governor Babatunde Fashola who he supported as the Lagos State Governor did well saying the prayer of any parent is that their children should do better.

HammedSodiqq: The former governor said the people of the state have a lot to gain be joining the mainstream of the South-west politics, adding that when he interrelated with other states of the region when he was the governor of Ogun State.

HammedSodiqq: The ACN leader specifically stated that he gave Mimiko both money and vehicle, stating that Mr Wole Olanipekun, who Mimiko called as witness, was not there when they discussed.

Tinubu said he gave [size=14pt]millions of pounds[/size] during the forensic investigation of voting materials, adding that one lawyer, Osinbajo, was the one moving from Bristow to Israel all for Mimiko.

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, [size=13pt]O priests[/size], 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.
9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the Lord.
14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

Malachi 1

he or she who accuses must be open to scrutiny

gidiMonsta: Isn't that the job of your GEJ? Or what's the point of getting the lion share of the budget if u're still gonna ask the states to provide their own security?

Billyonaire: If you ask me, I will say, that this Fela Shrine is at the long run, misplaced priority. Lagos needs massive infrastructural overhauling. Why are we talking about tourisms before infrastructural and security projects. Its like putting a cart before the Horse.

cesil92: All POLITICIANS are the same irrespective of their PARTY (A.C.N, P.D.P L.P, APGA etc)...
Simply why opposition are shouting much at P.D.P and accusing them is because they are not RULING....
The little A.C.N are doing in Lagos State, people are still accusing them of corruption, looting and all what not.
Can we ever be comfortably satisfied?

Image123: All these figures could have died or been harmed inspite of their lies, and the Bible does not glorify or encourage their lies. Actually, their weaknesses are revealed to remind us that they were mere men like us, and we can achieve the righteousness, faith, and exploits that they achieved. It's a sorry case if their lies are what encourage you in all of their rich lifeS.

Rahab had no Bible. She was a blaady halot canaanite that would have perished with Jericho. Her actions of lying should not be emulated. It's not her lies that saved her or the spies. i believe God could still have saved the spies if He had to, He is the Giver of life. And their death or life will not have stopped Jericho walls from crashing down. If they had been found, perhaps they may be arrested until rescue came, or God may even hide them(i won't put it beyond Him).
Josh 2:9 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
This is the faith that saved her, it was not her lie but her faith that saved her.

Image123: Just adding,

God did not bless them for lying, here is the passage.
Exo 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
Exo 1:18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
Exo 1:19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
Exo 1:20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
Exo 1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Exo 1:22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
The Bible says God blessed them because they feared God. Now secondly, it is very possible that the Hebrew women were not as the Egyptian women, but lively. But importantly though, God blessed them because they had the fear of God. the Bible says that the fear of God is to hate evil, it is the beginning of wisdom, and it prolongs days.

destinedtee: Morally speaking, it is wrong to lie and the Scriptures also does not mince words about the destination of liars.

But i have noticed that sometimes Christians lie and they justify themselves by saying they are only applying wisdom. Some will probably refer to the case of Abraham when he lied about his wife Sarah that she was just his sister(Sarah was actually his sister but he hid the truth that she was also his wife).

This is usually done by believers to salvage themselves in some 'tight' circumstances. Some believe lie is still lie and is therefore a sin and some believe it is wisdom in some situation and so is not a sin in those instances.What is your take on this?

From left : Governor Abiola Ajimobi, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Prof. Wole Soyinka, Mr. Brian Browne and Mr. Howard Jetter at the book launch on Saturday.

IT was meant to be a presentation of the book jointly written by Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) National Leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Brian Browne, in Chicago, the United States (US), but it became a forum where suggestions were offered on how to get Nigeria’s economy out of the woods.

Literary icon Prof Wole Soyinka, who wrote the forward to the book, entitled: “Financialism - Water from an Empty Well”, and co-author – Tinubu, warned of the consequences of leaving the dwindling economy in the hands of have-baked and inexperienced managers to fix.

At the Rainbow Push Headquarters in Chicago, venues of the presentation on Saturday were: civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson Jnr, Brian Borwne, a former US Consul General to Nigeria, Nigerians professional resident in Chicago and other parts of the US, former American diplomats, and civil rights leaders.

The audience included: Governors Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Nigerian lawmakers, council chairmen and youths.

dayokanu: Can you please provide links or news that shows Ajimobi went to US for Democratic Convention with Tinubu. This is for documentation on the activities of the governor of my state

Biggyd2: According to the ACN, the closure of the Lokoja-Abuja highway which has cut off Abuja, the federal capital city due to flooding of roads and bridges on the Abuja-Lokoja highway, signposts the extent of the country’s decayed national infrastructure and exposes the incapable hands entrusted to salvage them.

However, even worse is the fact that the president has not deemed it fit to comment on this disaster, neither has there been any visit by a federal minister or any co-ordinated response to the disaster from the central government, the ACN statement said.

logica: Drzed,

You did well. We need to test the judiciary more. That is the problem we have. We have since lost our trust in the judiciary and we need to gain it back. If I tell anybody (even my wife or girlfriend) that I plan to take somebody or a company to court, I will likely hear something like "Please let it go; I don't want wahala." That is the mindset that has allowed the empty headed execs and government officials get away with plagiarism and outright theft almost all the time.

nagoma: Because the President allows them. We thought he would do better. But you are saying it's okay for the president to copy them. If this is the case, we really need a President?

felifeli: Now the president resorts to posed photographs to try and convince us that he truly works for a living . Na wa oh !

v.24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

He promised that within 30 days of his declaration when [size=14pt]we were fighting the case in the court,[/size] he would join Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and after being sworn in, he started dilly-dallying. That is his trait. He’s not principled; a person with character would not do that definitely.

Tinubu says Mimiko is Traitor

“Asiwaju (Tinubu) never said he had personal invitation from President Barack Obama. Why the brouhaha about who invited him? The question is was he there or not? He was invited because of [size=14pt]his support for the Democratic Party[/size], and he never said he was personally invited by Obama.”

Tinubu for US Democratic Party convention

National leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is to attend the three-day National Convention of the United States Democratic Party that kicks off today in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Tinubu, who was invited to the convention by the party in recognition of his political activities as leader of opposition in Nigeria, will be at the ring side to watch the nomination of President Barrack Obama as the party’s presidential candidate for the November election.

The Republican Party at the weekend confirmed the nomination of Mitt Romney as its candidate.

A statement by Special Adviser on Media to the former Lagos state governor, Mr Sunday Dare, reads: “Tinubu receives a gold card invitation which is prime and with this, he will be joined by three other eminent personalities - Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti state, Speaker Lagos state House of Assembly Adeyemi Ikuforiji and former Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Lagos state, Mr Dele Alake.

“On Thursday, at Bank of America stadium, President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will deliver their nomination acceptance speeches.

Four years ago when President Obama was inaugurated, Tinubu also enjoyed a ring side seat at the event in Washington.

Tinubu’s invitation to attend the convention comes after a successful one week lecture tour, town hall meeting and book launch in Washington and Chicago.

He delivered a lecture at the prestigious Wilson Center for International scholars on the challenges facing Nigeria’s democratic experiment and offered solutions to problems of under development facing the country.

Similarly at a town hall meeting in Chicago with Governors Rauf Aregbesola and Abiola Ajimobi on hand, Tinubu spoke extensively on Nigeria’s search for true federalism and highlighted the fault lines in the country’s practice of federalism.

At the convention, Tinubu is expected to discuss how to entrench true federalism in Nigeria in his private discussions with the leading figures of the Obama administration and seek the US support for Nigeria to hold a free and fair election in 2015.

The Nation

Gbawe: You are a thoroughly dishonest and highly unprincipled individual. What "misleading comments"? Can anything I have said here be compared to your outlandish market woman speculation about Tinubu trying to deny Fashola a second term?


Whatever the truth about that, how pathetic do you look for mentioning it given that what eventually happened , i.e Fashola gaining a second term, only makes you appear like a petty gossip and propagandist? Folks like you should learn to focus on facts, reality and what can be proven. Hinging your talk here on "he said, she said" speculations ,that never played out as stated, just means you have zero legitimate point to back your senseless hatred of others.

Demdem: what are u saying? U called Tinubu a thief, didnt u? Retardeen is strictly reserved for Ebele Jonathan. Dont dishonour him abegiii
