dasparrow: Why should TB Joshua halt the service just to conduct a special prayer to avoid the impending doom in far away america? He told americans to pray for their country and if they (americans) don't pray, then that's on them. How many american churches in america will momentarily halt their church service to pray for an impending doom concerning Nigeria for instance? Mtshew!

A Christian should understand why "prayers should be offered for all nations" and not just for Nigeria.

ypzilanti: Just shows you the type of people we have ruling us.

I argued with friends before the last election that the calibre of wife GEJ has is an indication of his character.

I was told that the topic was off limits.

It's a good point if the man is your electrician: Your electricain's wife does not contribute to the wiring of your house.

But a President's, wife is likely going to affect your life because it's lonely at the top and the President will likely debate issues with his wife on that Presidential Bed. He will gain or lose by the intelligence/dumbness of his wife.

In conclusion, unless GEJ's marriage was an arranged marriage, he was showing poor decision making by this choice long before he became President.

Irrelevant. What has GEJ's choice of wife got to do with his character? Besides, he made that decision a very long time ago, when he wasn't president. Decision making is a function of many variables.

With your level of thinking, I don't believe your decision making is any better than the president's.

ekwy nwa: Oduans drool like slaves, Hausa Fulanis re readily waiting for your ewedu punches in Mile 12, since you re too scared to face them in Iyoroba land, you can go ahead and take some shots of Otapiapia and end your spineless life already, after all it runs in your DNA

It's funny what people do in a trance of hatred. The Igbo political class have always been in political alliance with the North: before the war: Zik/Balewa; after the war: Zik/Shagari. Yet, some Igbos blame Yorubas for their discomfort! Just mind-boggling.

Very entertaining...

Why do Igbos blame Yorubas for the civil war? Is it far-fetched to say that the civil war emanated from the 'failed' first coup plot? The war did not start from the pogrom in the north, as some would have you believe. Blame the war on those Igbo officers, who prosecuted the first coup, for their reckless judgement and crass opportunism. How on earth did they think the North would not perceive their actions as a blatant conspiracy to benefit the Igbos... none of the high-profile victims of the 1966 coup were Igbo and the main beneficiaries of the coup were Igbo, including Gen. Ironsi who made matters worse by replacing the federal structure with a unitary one!

Though, the response of the North and its military officers was equally dastardly, but continually beating the drums of hatred and bitterness over the civil war serves fruitless purpose. It is not only unproductive, it keeps the war afresh in the minds of the new generation, who deserves better. The civil war was UNFORTUNATE, and it appears we've learnt absolutely nothing from it.

Shouldn't we now be talking about how to heal the land and win the peace?

Awolowo this... Awolowo that... You guys should get real! This is 2012!
