CrimeRe: Man Threatens To Attack Pastors, Churches (Video) by ArewaNorth: 11:37am On Jul 21, 2022
Brendaniel:
Now I get the message, it has always been about Christians and Christianity in Since 2015, the removing of Jonathan, the kidnap of the chibok girls, the rise of bandits and herdsmen and terrorists, the rise of muric in the southwest, the muslim-muslim ticket by Tinubu, the attack on Christian strongholds in Nigeria especially the south-east.

This was the guy that always posted videos about killings in the south-east and tagging it on IPOB, then mock the Igbos for supporting IPOB, now we know he has been the one behind those attacks working with the Fulanis, now what is his gross against Christians if it is not because of the support Christians are giving Peter Obi, what offence did the Church commit to warrant this type of attack when the Church is actually the most persecuted Faith in Nigeria today, why is he not threatening the terrorist, bandits, herdsmen and kidnappers killing people all over Nigeria.

Instead he is attacking the people that are actually persecuted the most shows where his allegiance is pledged to.

All their Islamic plans they thought were making progress is failing and falling everyday, the Islamic ticket from Tinubu is failing everyday, they are very frustrated that all their plans and efforts have all been laboured in vain, now they have to result to outright threat on the Christian body, this threat is very political, this was a guy who concentrated on the south-east, why now on all Christians from every region, because his mission in the south east failed which they considered the strongest hold of Christianity in Nigeria, not knowing that Christians are one and united in the body Christ will take and make decisions in unity.

Now he is out for all Christians, they thought Youruba Christians will fall in line with Tinubu, but the rejection he received is why he has come out to threaten even the Yoruba Christians and everyone supporting Peter Obi.

The Truth is the enemies of Nigeria are already highly frustrated because their plans are failing very fast and would not mind going violent on those not in their support.

Folks be prepared, you might see more of these in coming months
I haven't seen such a nonsensical comment for long time in this forum. Why do u suddenly derail from the subject-matter?

I do not believe all mainstream christian beliefs/teachings. I have a very thorough and well rounded belief about the christian faith that is not influenced by mainstream christian beliefs, so your point is mute. I try to be as objective as as I can. Take for instance, a jews comes to me and says Christianity and Islam are corruption of Judaism. Believe you me, I'd hear him out, but a muslim who says Judaism and Islam are corrupt would not be taken seriously.


There is no reason for divine revelation to be corrupt. Sure, at different juncture in time, the people had corrupted their ways, but it was the way they lived that was corrupt, not the book given to instruct them. Come to think of it, is it even possible for the bible to be corrupt? Is it within the domain of reality? I answer no.
If truly the revelation is divine and can't be corrupted then what happened to such pressure that led to some amendments of your scripture among others

PoliticsInsecurity: Anambra Govt Begins Registration Of Native Doctors by ArewaNorth(op): 1:13pm On Jul 20, 2022
The Anambra State Government says it has commenced the registration of native doctors and allied practitioners in the state to sanitise the sector.


The state’s Commissioner for Information, Paul Nwosu, who disclosed this to journalists in Awka, the Anambra State capital, on Wednesday said the decision was part of the resolutions reached at the Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) meeting, held at the Government House on Tuesday.

He said the development followed a discovery that some of the native doctors were aiding criminals in the state, who have adopted the name, unknown gunmen, by providing them with assorted charms.

Nwosu said: “Having discovered that some native doctors provide charms with which gunmen operate, it has become necessary to enumerate and register them as practitioners, categorised into herbalists and spiritualists.


“While government appreciates the fact that some of them add value to health care, it is also not unaware that they have helped to imbue these criminals with the dare-devil confidence that has driven them into committing despicable crimes such as kidnapping, extortion of ransom, beheading, etc.

“Where they are found culpable in such crimes, it will be easy to fish them out from the register.”

The Commissioner also announced plans by the state government to extend the removal of illegal structures defacing the environment and endangering lives beyond Onitsha in the coming weeks.


He said, “It has come to the attention of ANSEC that the lands of many community secondary and primary schools have been massively encroached on by some communities and developers.

“This is unacceptable and government is seriously looking to recover these portions of land; part of measures to achieve this within the ambits of the law, government is seeking to quickly amend land laws so that land grabbing will be criminalised.”

From what you have just said and what I can infer, God preserved the Quran using human memory.

So it wasn't a direct divine act. It was the zeal of the people with the help of God? Is that, right? I want to understand your point first.

And I hope you can see me laughing you.
One thing abt any religion is, the believer stands on the principles, injunctions and adherence of the religion irrespective of the controversy and opinion of others.
If you aren't ignorant of the 3 religions you will understand that the same Angel Gabriel revealed the divine revelation that guide the conduct of the followers as claimed by all the 3 religions. So, what is the difference between the approaches?
Before you laugh, put yourself in the shoe of unbelievers of the 3 religions and imagine their reactions to God's existence, the birth of Jesus (PBUH), the mode of receiving divine revelation from God, the holy spirit and what have you. You may end up never to believe them but because you are born in a religious family and just dogmatically believe their belief that is why you even have the gut to make such outrageous assertion.
Ponder well, do some independent research and know more about religion rather than relying on what others feed to your head.

The history of religious civilisation is there for you to read. From your comment it seems you are deeply ignorance of religious civilisation of the 3 major religions especially the Judaism.
Religious violence in most cases isn't directly connected to religion but have affinity to persecution and intimidation by others which lead to taking defensive stand just like what is happening in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and other Muslims Nations who are deliberately invaded, persecuted and have their right violated and later after taking defensive stand accused f terrorism. If not because of Christian Nations' (EU&US) intimidation, invasion, persecution and what have there would've never been terrorism in those places.
There was a time Christians had Templars, Crusaders and take the most cruel religious killings in history under many crusader invasions. Go and read the history of Europe in 18th and 19h century's massacre and carnage which is a glimpse of current Arab Nations conflict and you will believe my assertion that the seemingly violence from one religious group is the creation of certain circumstances different from what you are made to believe today.

Concerning Israel and Judaism, it seems you are completely ignorant of the persecution of Muslims and Christians in Israel today especially the Christians.

Only ignorant, religious fanatics in Nigeria are happy when Israel is attacking any Arab Nation or Palestine because they are so dumb to know the reaction of the world during such difficult times, how Jewish see Christianity and how Christians are treated in Israel.
Please follow the following links and buy some sense:

CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IN ISRAEL (INCLUDING THE WEST BANK AND GAZA)
The two major religions in Israel are Judaism and Sunni Islam, with Christians composing a small minority. In Jewish communities, Jews who follow Christ risk rejection, social pressure and occasional violence from ultra-Orthodox Jews and organized anti-missionary groups. Christians in Israel proper often experience family rejection, low social standing and limited hope of job advancement. Jewish anti-missionary groups, especially Yad L’Achim, sometimes protest outside churches, cursing Christians and vandalizing their buildings. The anti-missionary activities have at times included violence against Christians.
https://www.persecution.com/globalprayerguide/israel/?_source_code=WHPB20C


The Pew Research Center has identified Israel as one of the countries that place "high restrictions" on the free exercise of religion and there have been limits placed on non-Orthodox Jewish movements, which are unrecognized. The religious affiliation of the Israeli population as of 2019. was 74.2% Jewish, 17.8% Muslim, 2.0% Christian, and 1.6% Druze. Muslim Arabs, citizens of Israel currently hold 17 of 120 seats in Israel parliament. Muslims have constitutional rights as their counterparts Israel Jewish and experience little oppression compared to Christians.

Christians Feel Growing Oppression in Israel
The experience of many Messianic and traditional Christians in Israel today who increasingly find themselves under assault, especially those living in or near orthodox Jewish neighborhoods. Recently, two churches were painted with slogans such as “Jesus is dead” and “Death to Christianity.” Many priests are daily spat upon when walking on the streets in Jerusalem.

The complete Qur'an is miraculously preserved by God as the first book that human beings are capable of memorising intact Chapter after chapter, verse to verse, page to page in the right order despite the complexity of pronunciation of Arabic text which can easily have their meanings twisted without a mistake and the moment the mistake is heard when reciting Qur'an any Muslim believer will take note of it.
All Muslims in the world memorised significant portion of Qur'an from generation to generation and as such no amount of distortion can affect it, effort to distort it will definitely go invain. Unlike other religious books that you can meet millions of believers who don't memorie their book. This is the best of all preservation. The credit goes to God for giving Muslims the uncommon instinct to memorise the book as the best way of preserving it to avoid the consequences of burning, distortion and abuse!

emmanok24:
Your knowledge of Judaism and Christianity is honestly impressive and I must commend how much time you invested into your knowledge.

Now, let me bring some things to your knowledge and even though I know your ideology can’t be changed I hope it helps diffuse some of your thoughts.

You need to first know that there was NOTHING called Islam until the 7th Century (CE), while Christianity was founded in the 1st Century (CE).

I also love how you mentioned about monotheism; unarguably the 3 religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are all traced to Abraham and called the “The Abrahamic Religions” because of God’s covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12:1-2) & (Genesis 15:2-16) because they all can trace their existence and strong belief in GOD.

Now note this, Judaism was a direct religion that was started after many years of God’s walk with the Children of Israel which emanated from the days of the Laws, Priesthood and the Prophets and the strict adherence to the ordinances of the Israelites’ belief in the God of their Forefather Abraham. Abraham was the Biological Father of the founder of the Nation of Israel and I’m sure you know the rest. The Holy Book of Judaism is the first 5 books of the Bible Written by Moses called the TORAH. Note, Judaism believe that there’s is only one God and none other than Him.

Christianity however is an offshoot of Judaism; has a strong believe in another seed of God’s covenant with the children of Abraham (genealogy traced Jesus to Abraham) - Matthew 1:1-17.
If you can calmly read and understand the Bible even from an historical point of view you’ll see that the PLACE OF JESUS was for the redemption of the Nation of Israel and in extension the salvation of all who believe in Him (whether Gentile or Jew).
The Old Testament is filled with various foretelling of the divinity of Jesus (Isaiah 7:14) and the Gospel, Epistle and other writings of the Old Testament attest to this vividly.

Islam however is a religion that traces its link to the person of Ishmael who was Abraham’s First Biological Son but NOT THE COVENANTED SON (Genesis 16:11-12) & Genesis 21:1-20. This claim is valid because the blessings God had with Abraham was also upon Ishmael and evidently was fulfilled in the birth of man nations through Him as promised by God to Abraham. Islam also believe there’s is ONLY ONE GOD and this can be seen through their faith that is linked to Abraham, however Islam’s belief system is skewed and historically have proven to have many inconsistencies in their practices starting from the source of their Holy Book called the Quran. This document although contains moral, social and spiritual teachings but have not definite place in spirituality as it’s authorship isn’t verifiable as “Prophet Mohammed” claimed that Angel Gabriel recited the ENTIRE QURAN to His hearing.

In conclusion, Islam and Judaism has so many things in common in terms of religious practices and Christianity is distinctly different by the divinity of the HOLY SPIRIT.

The Holy City of Jerusalem is also another unifying factor for this religions and also pushes the MONOTHEISTIC beliefs but SALVATION LIES ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST (John 14:6).

My brethren, never lose sight of God’s promises of His love for humanity and most especially believers.

Live in love and let the light of Christ shine through you.

God bless you!
Thank you!

MadamExcellency:
That Jesus in Quran is not the same Jesus Christ that Christians worship and adore.

See the description of the Christians Jesus Christ.
Some Islamic description of Jesus:

Jesus, Mary, and the angel Gabriel are all prominent characters in the Qur’an (as are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and a bunch of other Bible characters).
Muslims believe that Jesus (called “Isa” in Arabic) was a prophet of God and was born to a virgin (Mary). They also believe he will return to Earth before the Day of Judgment to restore justice and defeat al-Masih ad-Dajjal, or “the false messiah” — also known as the Antichrist. All of this may sound pretty familiar to many Christians.
Mary (called “Maryam” in Arabic) has an entire chapter in the Qur’an named for her — the only chapter in the Qur’an named for a female figure. In fact, Mary is the only woman to be mentioned by name in the entire Qur’an. As noted in the Study Quran, “other female figures are identified only by their relation to others, such as the wife of Adam and the mother of Moses, or by their title, such as the Queen of Sheba.” Mary is mentioned more times in the Qur’an than in the entire New Testament of the Bible.
Just as they do with all the other prophets, including Mohammed, devout Muslims recite “peace be upon him” after every time they refer to Jesus by name.
Muslims believe that Jesus performed miracles: The Qur’an discusses several of Jesus’s miracles, including giving sight to the blind, healing lepers, raising the dead, and breathing life into clay birds.
The story of Jesus’s birth as told in the Qur’an is also the story of his first miracle, when he spoke as an infant in the cradle and declared himself to be a prophet of God. Here’s the Islamic perspective:
And remember Mary in the Book, when she withdrew from her family to an eastern place. And she veiled herself from them. Then We [God] sent unto her Our Spirit [the angel Gabriel], and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man. She said, "I seek refuge from thee in the Compassionate [i.e., God], if you are reverent!" He said, "I am but a messenger of thy Lord, to bestow upon thee a pure boy."

She said, "How shall I have a boy when no man has touched me, nor have I been unchaste?" He said, "Thus shall it be. Thy Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me.’" And [it is thus] that We might make him a sign unto mankind, and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter decreed.

So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a place far off. And the pangs of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date palm. She said, "Would that I had died before this and was a thing forgotten, utterly forgotten!" So he called out to her from below her, "Grieve not! Thy Lord has placed a rivulet beneath thee. And shake toward thyself the trunk of the date palm; fresh, ripe dates shall fall upon thee. So eat and drink and cool thine eye. And if thou seest any human being, say, ‘Verily I have vowed a fast unto the Compassionate, so I shall not speak this day to any man.’"

Then she came with him [the infant Jesus] unto her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary! Thou hast brought an amazing thing! O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not an evil man, nor was thy mother unchaste." Then she pointed to him [Jesus]. They said, "How shall we speak to one who is yet a child in the cradle?"

He [Jesus] said, "Truly I am a servant of God. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet. He has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I live, and [has made me] dutiful toward my mother. And He has not made me domineering, wretched. Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I am raised alive!"

That is Jesus son of Mary— a statement of the truth, which they doubt.

So although Muslims do not believe that Jesus is the son of God — a critically important distinction between Muslim and Christian views of him — Muslims do revere Jesus as an important prophet.

Dear ArrewaNorth, I woulf love to discuss the Christianity and Islam subject with you. Two quivck questions, please.

1. If God permits (it would never happen without divine permisssion) earlier revelations to be distorted and corrupted, then why should we believe that he didn't allow successive revelations to experience similar fate? After all, God is sovereign.

That is usially the Muslim go-to, everytime. You want us to believe quite blasphemously that somehow the bible is corrupt but God learned his lessons in time and did not allow the same to repeat itself.

2. If the Quran is the authentic revelation, how do we know/verify? All previous revelations are corrupt, so with what do we compare the new revelation.

Answer this first
Any book that isn't well preserved and allowed to be subjected into changes and amendments is liable to be distorted not fake.

Qur'an is well preserved and have never for o ce undergone any form of changes or amendment. There are many miraculous verses of Qur'an that proved its authenticity. Check them well.

If there is no original sin, then there is no sin at all in the world and religion or God is false and no need for Him.

If there is original sin, then there's a need for a saviour, a Messiah - hence Jesus.

If Jesus was just a rabbi or prophet, then virgin birth is false, and He was not sinless; He is an impostor. If He is a saviour (and not an impostor) - born of a virgin and sinless then He is God. For it is only God that can save, and it is only Him that is sinless , not a rabbi or prophet.

If He is God, and saviour then he died and ressurected. If He did not die, He did not ressurect, if He did not ressurect, He is not God. If He is not God, then we are all damned, because there will be no good in the world. No hope, no justice, all is vanity.

If there is hope in life, and justice in posterity then Jesus is God.

How do you hear the teaching of both Christianity and Islam, and choose islam?

Most Muslims haven't heard the teaching of Christianity, if they did they'll certainly be in awe
Average Muslim know Christianity more than some Christians. Muslims know a lot about Judaism and Christianity. May be you are very ignorant of Islam. Islam sees Judaism and Christianity as earlier versions of Islam, revelations given within the same tradition by Allah but misunderstood over time by their followers. Muslims see Islam as the final, complete, and correct revelation in the monotheistic tradition of the three faiths.

In the Qur'an, Jesus is referred to in ninety three verses in fifteen Chapters; and mentioned by name twenty-five times as “son of Mary” or “Messiah Jesus, son of Mary”.

Islam agrees with Christianity that Jesus was born to a virgin, was sinless, performed miracles, and was superior to other prophets. Both Islam and Judaism teach that Jesus was not in any way Divine. Jews think Jesus was no more than a Rabbi. Islam teaches Jesus was no more than a prophet and a word/sign of Allah. (Qur’an 43:61)

Islam, denies the central teaching and belief of Christianity by denying Jesus' divinity, crucifixion, and resurrection. Judaism denies the divinity of Jesus; but not his crucifixion. Both Islam and Judaism deny the Christian belief in original sin.

Jews and Muslims are both in fundamental agreement that neither Jesus, nor any other human, should be worshiped as a God, or as any part of the one and only God.

President Muhammadu Buhari has unveiled the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) just as the new firm will expand its retail outlets to 1,500.

Speaking on Tuesday at the State House, Buhari said: “It is therefore my singular honour and privilege on this historic day of 19th July 2022, to unveil the NNPC Limited, with focus on becoming a dynamic global energy company of choice to deliver energy for today for tomorrow, for the day and days after tomorrow.”

The president recalled how he was privileged to lead the creation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on July 1, 1977, adding that 44 years later, “I was again privileged to sign the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) in 2021, heralding the long-awaited reform of our petroleum sector.”

Buhari said with the provisions of PIA 2021, NNPCL is now independent and will conduct itself under the best international business practice in transparency, governance and commercial viability.

“Coincidentally, I, on the 1st of July 2022 authorized transfer of assets from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to its successor company, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, and steered the implementation leading to the unveiling of Africa’s largest National Oil company today,” Buhari stated.

The Minister of State Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, lauded Buhari for the PIA 2021 which lingered for 20 years.

He said, “While the country was waiting for the PIA, Nigeria’s oil and gas industry lost about $50 billion worth of investments. In fact, between 2015 and 2019, KPMG states that “only four per cent of the $70 billion investment inflows into Africa’s oil and gas industry came to Nigeria even though the country is the continent’s biggest producer and the largest reserves.”

He however said all those had become past with the new industry.

The Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), NNPCL, Mele Kyari, said the unveiling of the firm marked a new beginning, commending President Buhari for the PIA and the reforms of the NNPC which operated for 45 years.

On the plans of the company, Kyari said the firm had created a robust expansion plan to increase its retail outlets from 547 units to 1,500 outlets within the next six months, stating that this would be done through partnerships.

When the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation was created in 1977, Buhari was also appointed as its Chairman, a position he held until 1978.

During Buhari’s tenure as the Federal Commissioner for Petroleum and Natural Resources, the government invested in pipelines and petroleum storage infrastructures. The government built about 21 petroleum storage depots all over the country from Lagos to Maidugiuri and from Calabar to Gusau; the administration constructed a pipeline network that connected Bonny terminal and the Port Harcourt refinery to the depots.
Also, the administration signed the contract for the construction of a refinery in Kaduna and an oil pipeline that will connect the Escravos oil terminal to Warri Refinery and the prpoosed Kaduna refinery.

The wicked run when no man chases him
Tinubu will go round begging Christian leaders till the election results are announced, he has inevitably lost at least over 15 million Christian votes
He has lost the block votes he could have gotten in the south west, but with his choice of a Muslim Vice President, the millions of south west christian votes he could have added to his overall South West votes has inevitably been lost.

Tinubu miscalculated and scored a political own goal with his Vice President pick, he thought this was 1992 when MKO Abiola ran with a Muslim Vice President, Nigeria today is now religiously divided and religiously sensitive all thanks to Buhari's nonchalant, sit down and look attitude to the killings and destruction of lives and properties of Nigerians by marauding bandits and ravaging terorists groups.
Tinubu ti lule, he should go, search and beg for his votes in the mosques and sambisa forest since he said there is no competent Christian person to pick as Vice President
If not him Atiku will win, then tell me how Christians will fare in the Election?
All I know is SW and Northern Christians won't vote for LP party, PDP is their choice!

PoliticsASUU Strike: 52 Northern Groups To Join Planned NLC Protest by ArewaNorth(op): 7:31pm On Jul 18, 2022
Fifty-two Northern groups under the aegis of the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) resolved Monday to join a planned anti-government protest by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) over the lingering strike by the Academic Union of Universities (ASUU).

NLC National President Ayuba Wabba had in a letter dated July 15, notified its chairpersons across the states that Congress would on July 27 and 27, protest to nudge the federal government into meeting ASUU’s demands.

The academic union went on strike in February over the government’s failure to honour an agreement it signed with it in 2009, on funding, salaries and allowances of lecturers.

The National Coordinator of CNG’s Student Wing, Jamilu Charanchi, in a statement, accused the government of paying lip service to the plight of lecturers.

He posited that the same politicians who benefitted from the magnanimity and foresight of past Nigerian leaders in the provision of quality now deprive others of enjoying quality education.


Charanchi noted that the protest would be the mother of all protests as they would close the railways, airways, railways, offices of political parties and state Houses of Assembly until their demands are met.

“As a last option and failure of these decent moves to yield positive results and ensure the reopening of universities, we hereby direct all our state chapters to mobilise students and parents to join the Nigerian Labour Congress for a massive protest that would entail the shutting down of activities in all states and national assemblies, all political party offices and all major highways, airways and railways.

“It is unfortunate that people in government today, who are the major beneficiaries of the magnanimity and foresight of past Nigerian leaders in the provision of quality, accessible readily available and affordable education, are today the same people working to deprive other generations of the same privileges.

“We are left with no option but to do anything humanly possible which will ensure the reopening of our classes,” he stated.

When Buhari was explaining to them the necessity of borrowing to fund infrastructure deficit that will in future recover the loan they call him names. Now their best, the most educated, the one who knows economy the most among them is borrowing N100b for his state.
We all need to just be worried if the money borrowed isn't well spent but spending money on infrastructure is good especially if our revenue to borrowing index is healthy.

Go and read history, look back at the margin of all life factors and indices between the North and the South between 1960 to date and assess how they're today and how both region fared, you will definitely know what I mean. There is no single state in Nigeria that I haven't been in the last 4yrs, I have been to villages and mega cities and I have seen what most of you living in capital of ur states and towns don't even know or ever seen in your villages. There is no existence of govt in most Southern(equally in many Northern parts) Nigerian villages and towns except in Capitals and major towns that is why I always question the kind of understanding you have for development at Nigerian level.

All I intend to do is highlite the error the south are making by their lack of political strategy especially at this critical time
Most of you making comments about politics know nothing about it. Cross carpeting in politics has always been in Nigeria's polity since the tenure of Obasanjo. This happens mostly at the end of Govt's tenure when Governors want to go for Senate which eventually forced others to leave the party in order to remain in the contest or zoning issues in all election positions. Thinking that those defected party members left because of somebody's candidature is nonsensical!

Shut up, you are talking bunkum. So Igbos should support a senile and spinless dingbat because he's from the south?? That's the kind of identity politics you folks are playing over there in north. Where has that taken you? Absolutely to the bottom. Get all the indices of measurement of development, you people are still at the bottom. Continue playing your rubbish identity politics and you think you are doing the Igbos, while poverty continue to ravage you people in that region, Igbos will continue to excel. You should be ashamed if yourself. Have you looked at the HDI statistics regional wise, your people are the bottom. You think playing identity politics is the good strategy we should imbibe?? The rudderless buhari you foisted in power, how has it helped you and your peoplehuh As a matter of fact, the Igbos even moved up higher on HDI chart during this regime where as your people were further plunged into poverty. Useless pigs everywhere. Nonsense
I don't know how great and civilised u see the south u delusionally live in?
Do u really mean the south I live most of my recent life in?

Go and check fact, about 80% of the FG jobs in the last 6yrs went to North, no NASS member can be reelected easily if he failed to send job offers fo his constituents.
Prove me wrong if the whole Senators from your entire zone secured job offers for their constituents as much as the jobs secured by very few Legislators in the North?

Also look at the planned standard rail line, CAMA Act, PIB, FG institutions like Military bases, Military schools and Air force reference hospitals, Polytechnics, Colleges of education and Universities, AKK-PIPELINE that is going to be completed in the first quarter of next year, Abuaj-Kano road rehabilitation being built in the North and compare them to what South got in the last 7yrs, many power plants and substations and the border closure which will only empower the about 80% source of employment of Northern population especially in areas of rice production.

In the last 4yrs, the number of people that got jobs in Dangote and Abdussamad BUA's companies in the North is infinite.

You need to sit back, eschew ur bigotry, take neutral position and reject the lies they've been feeding u on pulpits and see pure truth with ur naked eyes and respond to me if Northern didn't get future economic master class under this administration despite the hardships.

Politics2023: Kwankwaso Only Threat To PDP, Not Tinubu – Atiku’s Ally by ArewaNorth(op): 2:28pm On Jul 18, 2022
Ahead of the 2023 election, Reno Omokri, a socio-political activist, has declared that Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate is not a threat to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Omokri said the only threat to PDP’s victory in 2023 is Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, and not Tinubu.

In a tweet, Omokri, who is an ally of PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, noted that Tinubu, who could not ensure APC’s victory in Osun State, can’t pose a threat to PDP’s victory.

“The only threat to PDP is Kwankwaso. Tinubu is going nowhere. A KNOWN DRUG LORD who can’t win his home state can’t win the whole slate.

“As for the other deluded fellow, in 8 months’ time, he will wake up from his dream and realise it was a nightmare!,” he tweeted.

APC had failed to retain power in Osun State.

During the just-concluded governorship election in Osun State, PDP’s Ademola Adeleke defeated the outgoing Governor, Gboyega Oyetola of the APC.

Sincerely I really pith the southerners,
What is coming for them will be ever more than they can envisage or imagine.
The southerners are selling their children into slavery( the masses children).

Most southerners aren't going to vote Peter obi,Peter obi will not win unless by a miracle of some sorts.

Most if them want to vote Atiku,because he can easily deceive them with an okowa.
And their hatred for TINUBU and the notion of do me I do you,they are fighting to spite the Yoruba instead if saving themselves.

I have warned many times on this platform. Whatever you do make sure Peter obi wins if you do not want TINUBU

I tell u,if Atiku wins,southerners will regret it from their soul.

A Fulani to Fulani transition is the apex and final victory of Fulanisation.

The presidency will never ever go back to the south except there is a war.

The Fulani will totally colonise and capture every aspect of the country.
What buhari cudnt do,Atiku will.

Ruga etc will finally be implemented.

Okowa is a complete lameduck.
The nigerdelta will be hardest hit,Atiku will completely abrogate southern resources to the northeast,not the Northwest this time
The Eastern Fulani will rise,and are more greedy than their Western counterparts.

The bokoharam destroyed region will be rebuilt by southern money will the south will dry up.

I am warning and warning

This is not a time to hate TINUBU.

The man is standing for the south like him or not.

If you don't want him,convince the Yorubas to support Peter Obi, for the joint southern future.

If the southerners don't unite under Peter obi or a TINUBU.

The south will be depleted,your children are the ones going to suffer.

Atiku is buhari promax.

A Fulani to Fulani transition is final victory for usman Dan fodio and Fulanisation.

BE WARNED!
I'm a Fulani Northerner and adent supporter of Tinubu but the attitudes of many people in the South toward selling Tinubu is seriously damaging his reputation in the North. In your effort to sell Tinubu to people who won't vote for him even if u give them the earth and the heaven you hereby risk Ising it all. I swear before General Elections, many elders and clerics of those children making noise for that Party will be afraid and ask their people
to vote for PDP and surreptitiously explain to them that PDP is the only shortcut to their tribal Presidency.
Honestly, there is near zero political strategy and structure in the South. Tinubu is the heart beat and soul of political strategy and architecture of Southern political future but the ethno-religious jingoism of some Southerners risk giving u problem. Using ethno-religious strategy to sell Tinubu in the South is dangerous, very dangerous. Remember, Buhari was aspersed all sorts of names prior to 2015 Election but the neutral strategy taken in the South by Tinubu paid well but today he is the candidate and u can't sell him through better approaches. TINUBU should be sold on the basis of concrete, achievable policy objectives which should be carefully interpreted before coming out to public, all other sinister agenda should be left in his chest!
PoliticsRe: . by ArewaNorth: 1:02pm On Jul 18, 2022
Finally, we, Fulani are at ease from the daily aspersions, insults and abuse we suffered because of the sins of few criminals among us. We have paid dearly for our son's just being the President of Nigeria for just 7/23yrs of our return to Democracy.
All the conspiracy theories fabricated by renowned authors are buried for the sake of their son's candidature, Nigeria is suddenly no longer a zoo and to some extent they are aspiring to become the leaders of the zoo. Amazingly, they run to politics section to commend us with great joy that some of us are supporting their candidate.
All unprintable names they call Nigeria, the bad image they painted her is brought to pause. This is telling us the reality of how unpatriotic, dogmatic, and selfish some people can be.
Atleast, now most Nigerians can believe that what they're told are mostly lies.
