Men no dey remove cap for church again? Or is the word of God selective

If I were in that church as a commoner, I would have put on a cap too. Let me see any usher that will tell me to remove mine.

ifeco4:
So how did they intend writing the Physics exam or was it taught in Hausa?

Have you ever heared that a school in the north won the award for the overall best performance in a WAEC or any national exam for that matter?

bender79:
Fake freedom fighter..go to the far north or any remote area and see if secondary school students speak English.

Obviously Asari have not gone up north before. Even the headmaster and the permanent teachers in the school I served in Kano cannot speak simple English. I had a hellish experience being an English teacher in those days. I was shocked seeing the school's permanent teachers teach the pupils in Hausa language. Asari is downplaying the low level of education in the north. Pity that!

WHEN WE KEEP SHOUTING MARRIAGE IS NOT BY FORCE, THEY'LL NEVER LISTEN. THERE'S ALSO AN ONGOING CASE OF THIS MAN THAT KILLED HIS WIFE. DONT JUMP INTO MARRIAGE IT IS NOT BY FORCE. SPEND MORE TIME INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE, DONT GIVE BIRTH TO CHILDREN THAT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF. RIP TO THE DEAD.

Can you ever spend enough time investing on your future? At what point should you be able to beat your chest and say I have invested enough in my future so I am ready for marriage? Is there any guaranty that there will not arise problems in your marriage after you thought you have guided agaisnt all the problems that may arise?

He who has ear let him hear

Unless senior citizens of the Niger
Delta and patriots rise now to talk
sense into the empty heads of the
people that call themselves the
Avengers and the Concerned
Militant Leaders, a full-scale war is imminent in the Niger Delta, and it
is going to be bloody and
destructive. I have been an active advocate
and supporter of people in the
Niger Delta to get a fair share of
the oil resources in Nigeria found
90% in their soil. In 1999 I wrote
in my Book, Heroes of Democracy that: “I cannot pretend that I do
not know the level of atrocities
and man’s inhumanity to man that
has been going on in the oil-rich
region of the Niger Delta neither
have I closed my eyes to the tragic stories of the bloodbath in the
region. The struggle for the
liberation of the Niger Delta, which
has suffered 42years of criminal
neglect did not start yesterday. On February 23, 1966, Major Isaac
Idaka Boro with some 50 men of
the Niger Delta Volunteers Service
(NDVS) declared an Ijaw secession
from Nigeria. Nigeria instead of
listening to their grievances declared war on Isaac Boro and
his men and eventually crushed
the rebellion. Ken Saro-Wiwa
picked up the campaign from
where Isaac Boro stopped in the
80s and 90s until General Abacha murdered nine prominent Ogoni
sons (including Ken Saro-Wiwa)
and others in very bizarre
circumstances. The tragedy
attracted both local and
international condemnation, but it was not enough to stop the
human carnage and degradation
in the Niger Delta.” I have preached justice, equity,
and fair play for the people of the
Niger Delta but 17years after I am
beginning to have a rethink about
the inhabitants of the Niger Delta
and their antics. Yes Nigerians asked for justice in
the Niger and in the past 17years
we saw the massive deployment
of resources to that very important
region via NDDC, Ministry of
Nigeria Delta, and 13% derivation to oil producing States. In spite of
all these huge interventions, I saw
former President Obasanjo
blackmailed. I saw Former
President Yar’Adua blackmailed
and intimidated. Yar’Adua was compelled to
negotiate with them, and he put
together billions of naira for
reconciliation, rehabilitation,
training and financial support to
enable them to stand on their feet without resort to violence and
brigandage to get attention. I saw
Former President Jonathan
blackmailed to the extent that he
had to cede oil wells and dole out
billions of naira and dollars to the militants led by Tompolo, Asari
Dokubo, Boyloaf, etc. in six years
Jonathan was in power, these
criminal militants thoroughly
enjoyed themselves. They were big boys in town. They
talked tough, they walked tough
and painted the cities of Abuja and
Lagos, Bayelsa, and Port Harcourt
red. They became laws unto
themselves. Power, money, influence, position, connection,
contacts, etc. began to becloud
their senses of reasoning. During
the 2015 Presidential Elections,
they threatened fire and
brimstone that if the rudderless and clueless Jonathan loses the
election. They knew that no
serious President will condone
their excesses, blackmail,
impunity, and brigandage if their
man Friday losses. Oil or no oil, every ethnic group
has something to put on the table
in Nigeria. There are no zero zones
in this country. While the Niger
Delta region produces oil and gas,
the north of the country provides Shiroro Dam, Kainji Dam, cows,
beans, yams, goats, Ram,
potatoes, chicken, cucumber,
watermelon, tomatoes, carrots,
sweet potatoes, groundnut,
onions a, etc. The North feeds Nigeria. Yoruba have offered
Nigeria cocoa, commerce and
industry, and in fact have
provided some 40% of Nigeria’s
workforce. The technocrats, best
lawyers and other professionals in Nigeria come from the Yoruba
nation. They are the fathers and
mothers of Newspaper industries,
Radio and Tv stations. They were
the first to receive the white man’s
education. Their own Lagos is the undisputable center of civilization.
They control all the professional
bodies in Nigeria. In fact, there is no ethnic group in
Nigeria better placed to show the
light in Nigeria. And for the Igbo,
let me reproduce here what the
late Chief Gani Fawehnmi said
about the Igbo in 1998. Hear Gani “ The Igbo by their contribution to
the economic development of this
country are otherwise called the
Jews of Nigeria. They are very
hard-working, very industrious,
very innovative and very articulate people. The economic
development of this country owes
much to their contribution. I don’t
like the way they have been
treated since 1970. They still bear
the scars of the Biafran crisis, and they are still being treated as if the
civil war is still nascent, which is
wrong. They have been kept out of the
security forces of this country at
the strategic levels, the law
enforcement of this country at the
most strategic levels, they are
ignored, despised by the cabal. Even in the civil service, I do not
know how many permanent
secretaries are Igbo. I am not sure
how many senior police officers
are Igbo, and same goes for the
Navy, Air Force, and the Army. They are one of the largest groups
in this country. In fact, it is a nation
within a nation. The major
manpower pool of this country is
being supplied by the Igbo. I was
so angry when Abacha came to establish the Provisional Ruling
Council (PRC) and the Igbo were
not represented; I went to court to
fight the cause of the Igbo. It was after my suit in court,
challenging Abacha and asking
that PRC composition be set aside
by the court until Igbo were given
their rightful place that Abacha
then reversed the composition of PRC and appointed some Igbo.” This country is what it is today
because all have sacrificed
something even blood to make it
what it is today. Now the Niger
Delta militants are destroying oil
platforms. They have crippled power stations that run on gas.
They have destroyed their own
landscape and polluted the waters
and aquatic life. Apart from NDDC,
Ministry of Niger Delta and 13%
deprivation, the militants from the region have been granted
amnesty by the Federal
Government and have been on
the payroll for close to 10years
now. Jonathan was the President
for 6years, and he used the exalted position to provide
massive empowerment to the
people of the region. Apart from
making the militants multi-
billionaires for doing nothing,
people from the region were made Heads of juicy MDAs. What
else do they want? There is no hope for these bloody
idiots who call themselves the
Avengers. They are a bunch of
reprobates and common criminals.
They are too small and too
insignificant to hold this responsible and responsive
government to ransom through
blackmail and intimidation. They
blackmailed Obasanjo, Yar'adua ,
Jonathan and now Buhari. They
have reached their final bus stop and the point of no return. If the
president can crush Boko Haram,
these useless Avengers are
damned too small. I foresee war in
the Niger Delta, and it will bloody
and destructive. Niger Delta has nothing to offer Nigeria anymore
except, criminality, sabotage,
destruction of oil platforms,
murder, brigandage, and
corruption. This the time to stop
the criminals who have had it call. Apart from Niger Delta Ministry,
NDDC, and 13% derivation, the
idiots and the leaders of Niger
Delta have cornered oil wells; they
have stolen crude oil worth
billions of dollars, Nigeria has spent billions training thousands
of the so-called militants and their
cronies in Nigeria and beyond.
Now this cycle of stupidity must
stop. To me oil is nothing, and Nigeria is
diversifying for good. Look at
what these animals are doing to
their environment in the name of
avenging the federal government.
Ah, ah, I see war. I see war. And I hope the human rights community
are seeing the damage and the
open confrontationwww.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/full-scale-war-imminent-niger-delta-joe-igbokwe mynd44

This thread made me remember Simon from Rivers State, during my service year. He won the award for the worst roomate I have ever had in my entire life so far.

Gunmen at the weekend killed 83
cows at Adayi in Nasarawa Local
Government Area of Nasarawa
State. At Loko, the monarch claimed that
about 20 people have been killed
by gunmen in the last few weeks. The killings were suspected to be
reprisals by gunmen who crossed
over from Benue State. Although security agencies have
stepped up investigation, the Fulani
leader of Adayi area of Loko, Mallam
Bideri Ahmadu, alleged that
suspected Agatu gunmen from
Benue State might be behind the killings. The traditional ruler of Loko, Alhaji
Abubakar Ahmed Sabo, alleged that
Agatu youths might have
perpetrated the act. The Fulani community
leader, Mallam Bideri Ahmadu, who
addressed reporters in Loko,
alleged that Agatu youths crossed
over from Benue State about
10:30am last Saturday. He said the suspects had wanted to
“rustle the cows in their boats
across River Benue, but the cattle
went berserk because of sporadic
shootings.” Ahmadu said: “Upon realising they
could not achieve their aim, the
Agatu youth opened fire on the
cows, killing 83. The injured ones
are in the bush.” The Mai Loko, Alhaji Abubakar
Ahmed Sabo, said in the last few
weeks, over 20 men, women and
children were killed during attacks
on Fulani people by Agatu youths
from Benue State. He said the Loko Development Area
has only two police officers with no
rifles and appealed for more
security presence. Sabo urged the Fulani not to
retaliate because the government
was looking into the crisis. The Director of Personnel
Management (DPM) of the
development area, Danlami Umar,
said the “fishing community has
suffered a setback because the
riverine area has been taken over by Agatu youths, who kill at will. Police spokesman Ismaila Numan
said the Nasarawa Division received
a report of the killing of 83 cows by
suspected hoodlums
and investigation had started. A security source said: “There has
been tension in the area since the
killing of more than 300 people in
Agatu area of Benue State by
suspected Fulani herdsmen. “We are suspecting reprisals by
Agatu youths who do not want
Fulani herdsmen in their area again. “The crisis between the Fulani and
the Agatu is posing a threat to life
and property in the two states. “Nasarawa and Benue
governments have to step into the
incessant clashes between the
Fulani and the Agatu.” thenationonlineng.net/gunmen-kill-20-persons-83-cows-nasarawa/ You just know it will come to this Mod front page please

Before you blame filling stations next time, find out the situation at the depot.

daftpikin:
What do you do when you have tried to about 10 times in 6 months to have a dialogue with the management and the refuse to give you audience.

My brother history is a great teacher. History has always shown that in tertiary education in Nigeria, protests especially violent one, usually cause more woes and regret to the students in the end. There is never a limit to the amount of dialogue you can have otherwise you will burn your fingers. How many of us get everything we need from our parents at home? And the few who actually do are seen as over pampered. Do you go about throwing tantrums at your parents whenever they dnt provide you with what you need? My two pence o and nobody have to agree with me.

Sheikwonder:
You are an uncommon fool.....

the man with uncommon wisdom, peace be unto you.

I was lucky to attend Unilag during the four most peaceful period in the history of the school 2006-2010. Coincindentally there was no SUG during this period. Save for 3 months ASUU strike each in 2007 and 2009, there was no disruption in academic activities occassioned by student's restiveness. There was no SUG then and actually students were not bothered because there was no need for it. The school management did its best to make students comfortable and whenever they fell short, students just bear with them. There were periods during exam when therep is no light at night in the hostels and students who want to prepare for exams would take their books under the street lights to read. Whatever problem the school has is not a permanent problem. You have to dialogue with the management and give them time to look into it. They should proscribe SUG if that would bring back lasting peace in the school.

As sad as it is those filling stations have no blame. The entire blame rests solely on the government and trust me that is why the DPR appear powerless. The DPR not standing up against the practise has nothing to do with they having been bribed. From the namesof the filling stations you mentioned, those are independent marketers. They are different to the major marketers like the total and oandos of this world, who import directly and can sell at the official price. The independent marketer buy from the major marketers and may not be able to sell at the official price. Funny you cannot wish away the independent marketers because how many oandos or total or how many nnpc filling stations do you see everywhere? Independent marketers are only selling what they buy at the depot. For the price to have been N150 at the pump price at those stations, i believe they must have bought at like N140 at the depot. You cannot buy lat N140
and sell at N86 na, who doesthat? this stations have to buy so as to remove the problem of scarcity. Imagine, it is only the major marketers selling and the everyone has to go queue there, will you ever be able to get fuel? So while it is a sad state of affairs, we have to be able to situate issues within the proper persectives. Govt should make the independent marketers to be able to buy fuel at a convenient depot price for them to be able to sell at the official price.

*Absolves medical personnel of
negligence By Sola Ogundipe & Chioma Obinna The management of the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital, LUTH,
has denied the allegation of
negligence in the death of one of its
patients, Mrs Ngozi Udebu who was
admitted to the LUTH three weeks ago. In a statement made available
to Vanguard by the Public Relations
Officer, Mr. Kelechi Otuneme, the
hospital explained that the report
of the independent panel it set up
to look into the circumstances of the patient’s death didn’t find any
doctor or nurse culpable of neglect. The statement entitled: “Response
to the Death of Mrs Ngozi Udebu”,
noted that the panel comprising
senior medical personnel from
three different departments,
established that during the whole period of the deceased’s admission
and after her demise, no report of
poor treatment or negligence was
brought to the notice of the
managing team or LUTH
management. In setting the records straight, the
statement read: “We have
deliberately restrained ourselves
from responding earlier because a
detailed investigation was
underway and it would have been premature to comment before the
final outcome. “Mrs Ngozi Udebu was a patient in
our hospital having been admitted
on 26th March 2016 and died
about 51 hours later. She had
presented with abdominal pain
from her monthly menstrual periods shortly after 40 days of
religious fasting. File: LUTH File: LUTH “She had taken an overdose of
Piroxicam (50mg thrice daily for
two days) a non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory pain killer, which is
known to be associated with side
effects of inflammation or ulceration of the stomach even at a regular
dose. She was admitted, seen by the
medical team including an
experienced consultant physician. “She was commenced on
medications for peptic ulcers or
dyspepsia after ultrasound scans
and other tests. She was admitted to
the medical wards within 24 hrs of
presentation and monitored by the medical personnel (doctors and
nurses). Few hours to her demise
she started to have difficulty
breathing, was commenced on
oxygen therapy which she
continued to have till her demise. While making the rounds to see
how the patients fared in the night,
the nurse on duty noticed the
patient had stopped breathing and
attempts to resuscitate her failed. “There was no distress call by the
patient, other patients or any other
person around her in the ward
prior to her sudden death. In view
of the strange and sudden death
of our patient, the managing team immediately requested for
an autopsy to unravel the
immediate and remote causes of
her demise as is standard lay
practised in such cases of unusual
death. This autopsy was prompted by the LUTH. “The autopsy preliminary report
demonstrated evidence of asphyxia
though no foreign body or
evidence of strangulation was
found. Further specialised histology
report obtained later confirmed fluid in the terminal air passages
which support aspiration of food,
fluids or secretions. The stomach
was inflamed but not actively
bleeding or perforated which is not
surprising, considering that she was already on anti peptic ulcer
therapy. “We can understand why the
layman may be confounded by the
apparent disparity of the admitting
diagnosis and the final pathological
diagnosis. The pathological
diagnosis confirmed the actual and final cause of death as the ulcers
were already healing.” Giving a reconstruction of the
events leading to the patient’s
demise, the LUTH management said: “A known patient with
dysmenorrhoea who was fasting
took an overdose of non steroidal
anti inflammatory drugs, the
analgesics suppressed the
menstrual pain but damaged the stomach leading to excruciating
pain in the abdomen which
brought her to LUTH. “Our doctors correctly diagnosed
gastritis promptly and gave
appropriate treatment. Ulcers do
not show up on ultrasound scans
explaining the negative ultrasound
scan findings. The pains started to abate by the second day. “However,
on the day of demise, while the
patient was asleep late at night, she
most probably aspirated food,
throat secretions or water leading
to bronchospasm and respiratory distress which rapidly culminated in
her death. “She was found dead and all
attempts to revive her failed.
Nothing the doctors or nurses did
or didn’t do could be described as
the cause of death. Alternatively she
could have suffered an idiosyncratic reaction (rare, unusual and bizarre
reaction) to any of the medications
she took before or during her
admission to the Hospital. This is not
describable as negligence and no
one could have known or prevented it. “Autopsy preliminary report
demonstrated evidence of asphyxia
though no foreign body or
evidence of strangulation was
found. Further specialised histology
report obtained later confirmed fluid in the terminal air passages
which support aspiration of food,
fluids or secretions. The stomach
was inflamed but not actively
bleeding or perforated which is not
surprising, considering that she was already on anti peptic ulcer
therapy. “After her death, attempts by the
investigative panel to speak to the
husband (who had earlier affirmed
he would attend the hearing )
failed and he informed us that all
he wanted to say was in the news media. “It is a well known fact that
anywhere in the world, patients can
suffer sudden death even while
apparently improving for various
causes some of which even autopsy
may not be able to fully explain. Thus medical personnel reminds
patients and relatives that medical
personnel can only care
for their patients while it is our God
only who heals. “The managing team and the
Hospital management are greatly
pained by the loss of the patient
who was already recovering. Many
times, managing medical personnel
are as traumatised by the loss of their patients as the family of the
bereaved and sometimes require
psychological support after such
losses. “We commiserate with the family of
the deceased and pray that the God
of all comfort will uphold and
support them granting them the
fortitude to bear the immeasurable
loss. The Hospital does not underestimate the power of the
social media in nation building
through information dissemination,
but this tool wrongly used can also
destroy persons, institutions and
nations. “The proprietors of the blogs and
newspapers where the news of Mrs
Udebu's death were posted or
published did the Hospital a great
disservice by not seeking the view
or response of the Hospital before dissemination of the news
despite our earlier press release to
that effect. “There are always two sides to any
story. The lapses in seeking the
view of the second party (LUTH)
have caused incalculable damage to
the image of the hospital that
provides care and succour to thousands of Nigerians. “We implore the social media and
news media to contribute positively
to nation building through
dissemination of balanced stories
and reports, rather than rush to
publish unverified sensational news which are capable of causing
incitement of the public against
institutions such as ours and
aggravation of grief of families such
as that of the Udebu's and the
medical team that cared for her. We pray for the repose of the soul
of the departed and for comfort and
strength to the family in their time of
mourning.”www.vanguardngr.com/2016/04/ngozi-udebu-died-luth/ Mr.Lalasticlala frönt page please. Thank you.

Rapmoney:
So they should behave improperly in Nigeria? Is that what you mean?

Am sure you are getting my point even though you pretend not to. If Nigerians themselves do not behave properly in their own country, why should foreigners do?

Rapmoney:
The question is: Can you do that in his country as a Nigerian?

No that is not the question. The question is do Nigerians do the same thing in their own country. When you are in Nigeria you do as Nigerians do. When you as a Nigerian gets to the white man's country you should do as they do there. Simple.

I walked into the living room this
morning and my wife was watching
the news. She said ”another terrorist
attack” with all the shock and
surprise of a person observing that
the sun had risen in the east or water had turned to ice in the freezer. It’s
not that she didn’t care, or that I
don’t, but this is all a part of
the standard procedure now. Brush
your teeth, put on your shoes, watch
the news coverage about an Islamic terrorist attack, walk the dog. And so
on and so on and so on. The only
really shocking thing anymore is that
nothing is shocking anymore. As you know, this one was in Belgium. One explosion at a subway
station in Brussels and another two
blasts at the Brussels airport. Dozens
dead. Hundreds injured. And so on
and so on and so on. Of course, the only thing more
routine than Muslims slaughtering
mass numbers of innocents is how
people react to it here in America.
The same old arguments, amounting
to nothing. President Barack Obama stopped
flapping his limp wrists in Cuba long enough to deliver a quick and empty statement about the attacks. He
called for “unity” and spewed a
few other dull platitudes that have no
meaning. And so on and so on and
so on. In this photo provided by Georgian
Public Broadcaster and

explosions were heard Tuesday, March 22, 2016. (Ketevan Kardava/

a man is wounded in Brussels
Airport in Brussels, Belgium, after
explosions were heard Tuesday, March 22, 2016. (Ketevan Kardava/
Georgian Public Broadcaster via AP) Speaking of amounting to nothing, I vented my frustration on Twitter, because what else can I do? I said
I’m sick of hearing about the great
benefits of multiculturalism. Europe is
drowning in a tidal wave of
unassimilated Muslims who are
actively hostile to Europe’s culture, or what’s left of it. And for their trouble,
Europeans are being gang raped in the street at night and blown to
pieces during their morning
commute. Diversity is a strength, they tell me,
but I have seen no evidence to
support this doctrine. Diversity of
thought might be a strength, but
even then it is only a strength if the
thought is rational and directed towards truth. The
nonsensical thoughts of relativistic
nincompoops are not valuable or
helpful. Similarly, racial and cultural diversity
does not enrich us if we lose our
identity in the process. When
you throw a bunch of people with
diametrically opposed beliefs and
values and priorities into a food processor and hit frappe, you end up
with a smoothie that tastes an awful
lot like the collapse of western
civilization and the rise of barbarians. I didn’t say all of that on Twitter,
what with the character limit, but that
was my point. I also said I’m sick of
the religious equivalences. Every time
Muslims kill a bunch of people,
secular liberals start in with their standard attempts to prove Christians
are just as bad. It seems nothing will
ever convince them that perhaps
Islam is somewhat unique in its
capacity for violence and atrocities. So, naturally, my protests against
equivalences were met with
equivalences. A bunch of leftists told
me Christianity and Islam are equal
because of, among other things, a
series of 11th century military campaigns. And so on and so on and
so on. But it got even more absurd. Leftists
are so desperate to draw parallels
between Christianity and Islam that
one of them attempted to mitigate
the Brussels attack by reminding me about the Christians who took over a
nature reserve in Oregon a few
weeks ago. Me: “Muslims keep blowing things
up.” Liberals: “Yeah but Christians
trespassed on a wildlife refuge in
Oregon!” God help us. An angry Pakistani demonstrator

young Christian, Sawan Masih, 28
against Prophet Muhammad in a
Christian neighboorhood in Badami
Bagh area. Getty Images I know this is probably a futile effort,
but, in light of this umpteenth Islamic
terrorist attack this year, I want to
concentrate on this Christianity vs.
Islam comparison for a moment. I
know I probably will never convince leftists to stop idolizing
multiculturalism and diversity, but
perhaps I can convince them to stop
pretending Islam and Christianity are
on the same playing field. OK, I know I will not convince them
of that either, but allow me to waste
my breath anyway. Let’s start with the fact that we
knew the terrorists in Brussels were
Muslim without waiting for anyone to
confirm it. We always know it without
being told. Leftists know it too, but
they haven’t stopped to ask themselves, if Islam is a peaceful
religion, why are Muslims literally the
only people in the world setting
bombs off in subway stations and
airports and theaters and embassies
and restaurants. Spin this anyway you like, but right now the global
terrorism market is a Muslim
monopoly. We are certain a terrorist
attack was carried out by Muslims the
moment the bomb explodes.
Shouldn’t that tell you something? There is no Christian terrorism
epidemic. That’s why nobody stops
and says, “Wait, maybe the Brussels
airport is covered in blood and
debris because a white Presbyterian
was trying to make a point about Jesus!” Nobody says that because
there is literally zero chance of that
being the case. Zero chance. It’s not
possible. On the extraordinarily rare
occasion that a Christian launches a
lethal attack against a civilian target in the name of his faith, it’s almost
always against something like an
abortion clinic. And even then, it
almost never happens. The last one
was months ago, and the dude was
psychotic, not religious. Still, if you count him, that makes
about one attack every decade or so,
usually with no causalities, carried
out against a facility that executes
children. Compare that with the
endless stream of massive assaults waged in the name of Islam against
entirely random and innocent
civilians sitting in restaurants or
waiting in lines at airports or subway
stations. You can’t compare them.
There is no comparison to be made. Indeed, the fact that abortion clinics
don’t have to be fortified and
surrounded by 40 armed guards
every hour of the day shows just
how incredibly effective Christianity is
at preventing its adherents from resorting to violence in its name. So,
yes, Christianity can lecture other
religions about violence. Christianity
is much better at standing against
violence. Christianity is much more
effective at advancing peace in the world. Christianity is just a better
religion. It’s better. In every way. It’s
better. ADVERTISEMENT Christianity can lecture other religions about violence. And it’s better not only because far
fewer acts of evil are performed in its
name, but because many more acts
of love and mercy are performed in
its name. No other religion sends
people out to every decaying and forgotten corner and crevice of this
Earth to heal the sick, serve the
needy, and minister to the hopeless.
No other religion runs nearly as
many hospitals, homeless shelters,
soup kitchens, etc. If you find a group of foreigners
digging a well in Guatemala or
handing out mosquito nets in
Uganda, they’re probably Christians.
On the other hand, if you find a
group of foreigners planting explosives in a subway station,
they’re probably Muslims. Christians themselves are flawed, but
the faith has had, to put it mildly, an
unmistakably positive influence on
the world. Right now, as we speak,
there are millions upon millions of
people across the planet who would not be eating, taking medicine, or
sleeping in a warm bed without the
concerted efforts of Christians acting
at the behest of Scripture. And as a
reward, some of them can look
forward to being crucified, literally. By Muslims, of course. Christianity built western civilization.
Christianity advanced the doctrine of
Natural Law, which serves as the
basis for all of our liberties.
Christianity defeated slavery and
won the fight for civil rights. Christianity had a hand, and
sometimes was the only hand, in
most every good and decent thing
about this world. Christians are not perfect, but
Christianity is. And the more Christian
the world is, the better the world is.
The less, the worse. That’s how it’s
worked for 2,000 years. History has
demonstrably proven Christianity to be an objectively necessary and
indispensable force for good over
and over and over again. Equivalence? You cannot begin to
find one. There are bad Christians
and good Muslims, but if Christianity
ceased to exist, millions of people
would die. If Islam ceased to
exist, millions of people wouldn’t. Draw whatever conclusions you
want from there, but you cannot
conclude that the two are equal. Photo credit: Shutterstock Photo credit: Shutterstock Christianity, I should note, is also
true. It’s the only completely true
religion. Other religions have arrived
at some truths, but Christianity is
truth. And because it stands in the
fullness of truth, it is capable of bringing a goodness to the world
that Islam and other false religions
cannot. Christians, individually, are
responsible for plenty of evil, but that
evil is a result of their rejection of the
truth of Christian doctrine. The more they reject it, the worse they are. The
more they accept it, the better. Again,
history has demonstrated this. The word “fundamentalist” has a
negative connotation because it is so
often applied to people who are
fundamentalists of fundamentally
false ideologies and religions. By
definition, if being a fundamentalist of your faith means you are a violent,
animalistic savage, that means there
is something fundamentally violent,
animalistic and savage about your
faith. People say “terrorists aren’t
Muslims — they’re fundamentalist Muslims,” not realizing they’ve
condemned Islam in an attempt to
exonerate it. But what are Christian
fundamentalists? Women who wear
long skirts and give birth to more
than two kids? Men who go to
church and read their Bibles?
Unmarried couples who save sex for marriage? Pro-lifers who pray
outside of abortion clinics? Bakers
who won’t make cakes for gay
weddings? Nuns? Pastors?
Missionaries? Liberals are fond of saying
“fundamentalism” is the problem
generally, as if living by your
convictions is wrong regardless of
the nature of your convictions. Such
an idiotic notion can be expected from moral relativists who believe
nothing to be fundamentally true,
therefore anyone who adheres to
any fundamental doctrine, no matter
the doctrine, is dangerous. On the contrary, Christian
fundamentalism is a great blessing to
society. It makes people peaceful,
disciplined, humble, and kind. A
Christian fundamentalist opens a
pregnancy center to help women. A Muslim fundamentalist drags
a woman into the town square and
stones her to death. Equivalence?
Stop it. Obscure nut jobs like the Westboro
Baptists are not Christian
fundamentalists. They are apostates.
They’ve fabricated their own
fundamentals and sprinkled a little
Jesus on top of the fake religion they made up. Christian fundamentalists
are only a problem when they are
fundamentally dedicated to the
fundamentals of their own heresies.
But even these Christian heretics
aren’t often found shooting up Paris to advance their cause. In fact, aside from Islam, the only
other truly violent religion in
existence is liberalism. The Church of
Liberalism advocates and facilitates
the murder of a million children a
year, dwarfing the death toll of every Muslim terrorist attack this decade
combined. The only faith not in a
position to lecture Islam, then, is the
faith that constantly excuses it. I
suppose there’s some consistency
there, at least. I’ve long theorized that liberals
rationalize for militant Islam because
they sympathize with its methods.
This is the basis for the odd alliance
— really it’s a one sided alliance —
between Western secular leftism and Middle Eastern Islamic extremism.
They both share a tolerance for
brutality and a hatred for truth. But of the theist religions, Islam is the
only one routinely massacring
civilians across the world. The only
one. Stop claiming otherwise. Stop
equivocating. Whether you believe in Christianity or
not, it’s superiority is beyond
question. And the fact that it is so
superior ought to make you
reconsider your decision not to
believe it. By its fruits you shall know it. We’ve seen the fruits. The answer is clear.

When Mbaka spoke against Gej and his policies, they say he dabbled too much into politics which is not good for a man of God. He was victimized. How is Onaiyekan doing something different from Mbaka here? They say the wish is the father to the thought. Guess he is saying what the whole bunch wants tohear.

The other day, someone organised a no banking day to protest against banks cheating their customers, people boycotted it. Now you are all crying foul here. When you learn to stand up and fight for your right, things will be way lot better.

Something is fundamentally wrong with the black man's brain. We just want to amass wealth at the expense of others, so that others will not be at our level and will always bow to us. This is primitive thinking.

You cnt just pay people to be happy with you. When Mbaka talks they say he talks too much and he should not be heared too much on political matters. Now that he has refused to talk people will not let him be. There is no problem with Mbaka not talking actually. The problem is with people who don't know what they want out of life.

Please what are their names again?

Speeches laden with emotions would do nothing to assuage our pains. We want action Kachikwu, action. Scarcity has to go away please.

I sabi Kris (Ugo) very well and the suggestion that he is some sort of gold-digger outrages me. How much dem wan give am sef... omo I dey boil for here wen I dey. Young man suppose dey house je'je dey cheer UTD

We were both in the same faculty in the University, graduated same year and were like brothers at the NYSC orientation camp in Kano. I do not think he is an hungry man. I know of a couple of cases as this. A unifying thing in all of the cases is for the helpless parents of the lady to allege gold-digging and hypnotism. But its all bullshit to me and thats why I do not mention it in my earlier post.
