oduastates:
Very few people can tell you who makes a progressive and who makes a conservative.
Buhari's budget is definitely a progressive budget.

A 70% Deficit spending based on loans in the midst of dwindling oil price with a ridiculous benchmark that is meant to pay compensation to the almajiri north and the Boko amnesty is idiotic to say the least.

See Aregberascal voodoo policy of borrowing and see how it has thrown that state into financial embarrassment

tuale4u:
The word progressive is not anti conservative. Conservativeness in itself is leadership style that have produce progress in prosperity in many country.

However, I don't even agree that current buhari govt is conservative. A government with a Budget decifit of about 2trillion (one -third of the entire Budget) to me is not conservative.

progressiveness is not recklessness and wastefulness.

however, the post is not about change vs transformation. it is about the "selectivity" of the anti-corruption war.

I am not here to educate you between the differences between liberal progressive politics and conservatism.

I urge you to go do a research on that.

Canada, Scandinavia and the US are led by leftist progressives that's why they are pro gay, pro immigration and pro stupidity.

Saudi Arabia is an ultra conservative Islamist state.

Is Buhari more adept to lead a nation of gay lover like Sweden or will he b better suited to man the throne of the Islamic Caliphate?

tuale4u:
Nigeria masses are aware of that. but those people cant be the priority at the moment because their case will be more difficult to prosecute. the documentations will be more cumbersome.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Last I checked there is no moratorium in fighting corruption in Nigeria or investigating and prosecuting crimes.

Buhari should start from 1977 when he was minister under Obasanjo.

That was the first major corruption scandal involving stolen oil money which Shagari was ridiculed by the SW press and Awo opposition for lacking the balls to go after the Obasanjo pa's regime. A probe panel was set up and Buhari and obasanjo did not bother to attend after being summoned.

It is on this guise the Awo led opposition will later claim Shagari as being weak and tacitly supporting corruption ( sounds familiar?).

Buhari will later use the misinformation and propaganda by the SW on the population against the shagari govt to stage and justify the treasonable act of a coup.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

You will continue to repeat foolishness and display madness of repetition until you learn from your history and past folly.

Until then, you will be condemned to recycling old worn out trash in the guise of change

tuale4u:
That is just a saying. It is not practical.

Just like your change scam which claimed progressive but is led by an ultra conservative despot and a bunch of old worn out criminal politicians.

How can you claim change When you go back 40yrs?

How can you claim justice when you support draconian and despotic individuals with authority?

sameer1212:
Yes my dear. I don't know who to blame self.

You can't be serious.

With statements like this we give impunity and immunity to soldiers mowing dow defenceless civilians

Jolllyjoy:
Life goes on.,

And with it more killings

Why say "died"?

People die from car accidents, natural disasters, etc.


They were killed by men of th Nigerian Army.

tartar9:
you're funny trying to claim seniority rights.don't also forget Judaism also predates xtianity by thousands of years.

Did Christianity declare war on Judaism?

Did Christ declare jihad on the Jews to submit to his authority as the Messiah?

Hypocrisy is when you celebrate thieves like Tinubu and Amaechi as noble champions of democracy.

Those who demand equity must come with clean hands.

tartar9:
then xtianity as a religion also blasphemes Islam

Christianity predates Islam by over 600 yrs.

Pls show one single verse in the Bible that mentioned Mohammed or Islam.

If there is then that is prophecy come to light.

SonOfEl:
Hypocrisy is also when a MOD bans with biase. I have watched as some NLers attack igbos and anything Biafra, but when we respond, we get a ban for it...***laughs*** na so e pain them reach? These MODS need proper reorientation...

The truth is uncomfortable to the wicked.


They are living in denial and have created a fool's paradise in their heads only.

This is part of the delusion to seal their bondage and block any suggestion of integrating with the better south when sh1t finally hits the fan.

In short they are deceiving themselves only to believe Nigeria is a paradise.

No be only primate nah chimpanzee

So I asked the jury a simple question: Is there any obnoxious, insulting, infuriating thing I could say to you, or show to you, that would convince you to join up with mass-murdering terrorists? To become a terrorist yourself? Of course, a dozen commonsense New Yorkers did not need to be asked such a question. They laughed the defense out of the courtroom. Alas, in the 20 years since, the defense they laughed out of the courtroom has become the bipartisan government policy of the United States. Go figure.

— Andrew C. McCarthy is a policy fellow at the National Review Institute.

About 20 years ago, I prosecuted a dozen jihadists, led by the “Blind Sheikh,” Omar Abdel Rahman, for waging a terrorist war against the United States — including the World Trade Center bombing and a plot to attack the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, as well as other New York City landmarks. The defendants were caught on tape building bombs, scheming to strike at American military sites, and planning attacks timed to achieve maximum infidel carnage. At trial, the jihadists tried to tell the jury they were just moderate, peace-loving Muslims who had been provoked by American foreign policy, a perception of anti-Muslim bias, and videos of Muslims being persecuted in Bosnia. The Blind Sheikh insisted his incitements to jihad were simply a case of faithfully applying sharia principles, which, according to his lawyers, the First Amendment gave him the right to do.

Let’s just skip ahead to Syria. There, the noble people needed America’s help, but Barack Obama turned a deaf ear. (No need to get into Obama’s collusion with the Islamic-supremacist governments of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to arm and train the “rebels.”) This forfeited our golden opportunity to intervene actively and empower the bounty of moderate, secular, America-loving, democracy-craving Muslims (because that worked so well in Libya). But for Obama’s default, these moderate legions could simultaneously have toppled the dictator and purged the teeny-tiny number of jihadists who might have been skulking about. (Let’s not get into how there don’t seem to be enough of these moderates to man a soccer team, let alone a legion; or how weapons supplied to these “rebels” somehow keep ending up in the hands of the jihadists.) Obama’s default, coupled with the ruthlessness of the dictator, created a leadership and territory void into which jihadists suddenly poured (apparently out of nowhere). Somehow, these spontaneously generating jihadists managed to entice recruits, vastly increasing in number and power (even though — you’ll have to trust us on this — the moderate, secular Muslims really want nothing to do with them). And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how ISIS was born and al-Qaeda rose from the ashes.

The fairy tale goes something like this. There is a terrible dictator who so tormented his people that they rose up against him. These were noble people, overwhelmingly moderate, secular Muslims — adherents of a “religion of peace” (or, as Bush secretary of state Condi Rice put it, “a religion of peace and love”), who craved democracy. (Caution: You can call them “rebels,” but words like “Muslim Brotherhood” and “sharia” are not to be uttered — we’re trying to build a narrative here!) Sure, the noble people may have tolerated the occasional jihadist in their midst, but that could happen to even the most well-intentioned peaceful moderate, right? (The pervasive presence of jihadists who used Syria and Libya as gateways to jihad against Americans in Iraq is also not to be mentioned.) Now let’s let bygones be bygones. No need to tarry over small details — like how the noble people installed anti-democratic Islamists who imposed a sharia constitution on Egypt after ousting their pro-American dictator; or how Libya became a jihadist playpen where Americans are murdered after the U.S. government sided with the noble people to oust the U.S.-supported dictator who had been giving us counterterrorism intelligence about jihadists in places like Benghazi.

As a Christian we are expected to love our fellow man irrespective of race, creed and religion.

Note it is one thing to accept a muslim as a friend and it is another thing entirely to support a doctrine that blasphemes and denies Christ as our messiah and also calls for violence to force Christians, Jews and other faiths to submit to it. This is not in tandem with the teachings of Christ.

Love your muslim brother but never forget the hatred contained in their Koran towards you and Christ.

If they refuse to accept mohammed's god then fight them

Muslims must fight against and subjugate Christians:

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29

You must submit to mohammed's god

Christians who do not accepted Mohammad (PBUH) and the Qur’an are the most vile of created beings:

“Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them clear evidence. And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion. Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” — Qur’an 98:6

Now it begins to get more violent ...

Those who believe that Jesus is God’s Son are accursed:

“The Jews call ‘Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! ” — Qur’an 9:30

The arrogance of a rejected fraud who claimed he knew Christianity and Judaism more than those who practice it.

Christians have forgotten part of the divine revelations they received

“From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.” — Qur’an 5:14

Jesus a mere messenger

“O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, ‘Three’; desist – it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.” — Qur’an 4:171

Jesus is not God

Those who believe in the divinity of Christ are unbelievers: “They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary.” — Qur’an 5:17

My opinion : I agree on this because Jesus has nothing to do with your allah

Jesus was not crucified

“And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger – they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.” — Qur’an 4:157

“It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” — Qur’an 19:35

Jesus is not the Son of God:

“O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not “Three” – Cease! (it is) better for you! – Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.” — Qur’an 4:171

You are in support of the Palestinian violent intafada and Jew stabbings claiming Palestinians deserve a separate state from Israel BUT are against any peaceful rally by Biafrans and support the Nigerian Security forces brutal and deadly crackdown on IPOB youth rallies.

You are anti Asaad and pro ISIS claiming brutal oppression and human rights violations by the Syrian regime BUT support the Nigerian Govt and Army's massacre on Shiites in Zaria.

Unfortunately, the government don't have the luxury of ECA to dip their hands into. I wonder whether they are looking at MTN fine.

They warned them but they insisted on squandering it.

Even the LNG receipts were wasted as bailouts.
