Good one Pastor. He's trutfull to himself and his God. Not all this fake pastors we have here with multiple girlfriends and baby mamas.

God is no respected of persons and the position of the Bible and Jesus Christ is clear and unambiguous on monogamy. Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, 1 Timothy 3:2 and Titus 1:6 are clear references. It is "husband of one wife".

There are a lot of charlatans and unbelievers masquerading as Pastors these days. Israel Ford had been hiding his adulterous and sinful relationship with Shakayla for long, until he was able to gather the courage to transition from secret hypocrisy to public heresy.

The fact that some of his fellow fake Pastors have concubines and have not elevated their hypocrisy as Israel Ford has done is no excuse to launder or cast in any positive light his despicable conduct. It is even worse when he tries to condemn monogamy as not being Biblical. This shows his spiritual emptiness and desire to publicly mislead others down the path of condemnation that he and his co-travelers have chosen. It is very unfortunate that the sheep are clapping for the barely disguised wolves masquerading as shepherds.

Prophet Israel T. Ford and Pastor Lydia Ford, leaders of LifeWorks Church near Cleveland, Ohio, announced Shakayla Ford as Israel's second wife, framing it as God's will and citing Exodus 21:10.

Lydia herself introduced Shakayla positively to the congregation, and photos show the three posing happily together.

Israel posted on Facebook that the 'one wife only' teaching is unbiblical, while critics cite 1 Timothy 3:2 and traditional Christian emphasis on monogamy from major denominations.

Supporters reference Old Testament examples of polygyny, sparking wide online reactions from shock to defense.

Moment an American pastor and prophetess, who are both married, introduce a new wife to their congregation and announce that they are now in a polygynous marriage with a female church member, claiming it is the “will of God.” 😭🤦🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/Pu52Uf7LWy

Behold some of the end time deceivers masquerading as Pastors, teaching doctrines rooted in their own lustful and sinful desires. Against such we have been forewarned.

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itchy ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." — 2 Timothy 4:3–4 (NKJV).

Who better to listen to than Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour.

Matthew 19:4–6: “He who created them from the beginning made them male and female...”

Mark 10:6–8: “Consequently they are no longer two, but one flesh.”

Jesus treated Genesis 2:24 as the normative standard for human marriage rather than the cultural or legal accommodations (such as polygamy) that arose later in the Old Testament due to human "hardness of heart".

A church baddie is a confident, stylish woman who is not ashamed of the Gospel

Act 11:26

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Biblically the church is the body of believers I Christ. However, a church in this world is like an hospital where everyone is welcome to come. Some patients respond to treatment and get healed (become born again) while some patients do not respond to treatment, no matter how long they are in contact with the church.
Some of those patients who have determined they will not respond to treatment or get healed are not starting to coin names for themselves.

A church baddies is a church villain, a female church goer that is not ready to meet and accept Christ but wants the association with Christ. A patient more interested in telling the Doctor how she wants ro be treated rather than her genuine healing being the goal.

Don't totally agree, education no go ever be scam. But, honestly an an employee your chances of being wealthy without one form of corruption or the are very slim. Na business dey create wealthy men pass.

The way some people try to downgrade education is appalling. There is no way you can be wealthy without education except you inherit money and without the right education, you will fritter the money away. Education is essential and may be formal or informal.

There is a need to correct the mindset about employees. Employees have become wealthy and billionaires. People like Steve Ballmer, Eric Schmidt, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai and Jonathan Grey were employees who became billionaires. Here is a list of 26 of such billionaires: https://www.forbes.com.au/news/billionaires/26-billionaires-who-amassed-their-fortunes-while-working-for-others/

The gist is that you should not be content with your salary and simple work hours. You should be very diligent, be visionary or buy into the vision of another and execute smartly and with intelligence. Be ready to go beyond and above the call of your duty. Look for how to get things done faster, better, safer and with less cost. That is the mindset that breed entrepreneurs and problem solvers. And being an employee sometimes give you insights you may not get elsewhere, to improve processes, build better technology and innovate.

His admittance and subsequent apology is duly noted.

With this his DoA letter to Ṣowore, then he seems to use the scandal to further promote his book unless a court action confiscate all earnings from the book sales.

He really acted in an unpatriotic way and I am not sure if he is in the shoes of the DG, he will take apology without full repentance.

He is not the retired DSS guy that wrote a book containing details of Abacha's death.

He wrote petitions and made allegations of financial mismanagement at the Association of Retired DSS Officers of Nigeria (ARODSSON) FCT Chapter between last year and early this year He alleged he was arrested and detained at the DSS HQ and remanded in Keffi Correctional Center around April 2026.
After his release, around June 2026, he granted interview to the Sahara Reporters on the matter. https://saharareporters.com/2026/07/29/exclusive-i-was-tortured-secretly-detained-21-days-after-exposing-mismanagement-retirees

He was subsequently arrested and arraigned in August 2026 for I think terrorism and supporting IPOB and remanded in Kuje Correctional Center.

Not just cares, but KNOWS.

Does anyone in our NSA office know what PHP is let alone care about cyber security?

In Tinubu's Nigeria, there are too many square pegs in round holes.

Nigeria has an ongoing but unacknowledged Cybersecurity challenge because the Government is not capable of retaining competent Cybersecurity professionals on the standard Government salary or "man know man" recruitment policies.

We can all see what quota system and lack of meritocracy has done to our Military. Unfortunately in the cyberspace, a single rogue actor can cause massive damage.

Iso has been the outcome of your analysis. So the country should continue to be governed based on sentiments? No wonder Nigeria is where it is today. Continue parapo sentiment you hear?


Abeg Mynd44 na wetin you cook? I'm starving.

I am not talking about sentiments. The truth is that an organized and united group will always beat or win a disorganized group or one that is not united. The igbo and Yoruba may be more intelligent, sophisticated a d more educated than the Hausa/Fulani. But a more united and organized Hausa/Fulani will always win. Sometimes unity matters more that individual strengths.

It is a matter of fact that the Hausa-Fulani, the Igbo and the Yoruba have different agenda and future plans for Nigeria. There is no "general" Nigerian agenda. If we are able to build a system that works for everyone and worth fighting for, then it is a different issue. But a group playing generalist game when others are playing ethnic games will lose.

AMINDA:
Tinubu built Lagos. Come 2031, it will be time for Seyi to paint it!

Seyi cannot paint Lagos come 2031 because Tinubu does not work like that. If you will be opposition to someone, at least take time to study the person very well and know his modus operandi. Tinubu doesn't operate like an Emperor. His godfather system operates differently from the likes of Saraki or Wike.

Whether Tinubu wins or loses in 2027, Yorubas are done for — Retired Commodore Olawunmi
Philip Ibitoye
October 4, 2026

Kunle Olawunmi is a retired Naval Commodore, former Deputy Director of Defence Administration at the Defence Headquarters (DHQ), and Professor of International Relations, Diplomacy, Strategic Studies. In this interview with PHILIP IBITOYE, he discusses Nigeria’s governance failures, constitutional reform, Yoruba self-determination, the implications of President Bola Tinubu’s administration for the Yoruba people, amongst other issues.

WHEN you look at the state of Nigeria today — the pervasive insecurity, cost-of-living crisis, and other destabilising issues — as a retired Naval Commodore, is this the country that you thought you were fighting for?

Thank you for the question. I mean, the answer is obvious. This is not the country we fought for. I spent 35 years fighting for this country, losing my colleagues. I went to Angola, Congo, Liberia, everywhere, carrying the name and image of this country. But, suddenly, we find ourselves in a situation where it is just unbelievable.

Yes, it is unbelievable that we can depreciate to the level we are now where we have criminals in government. If you go to state governments, you have criminals. There are people that have been deported from the US, arrested for one crime or the other; they ran back to Nigeria and became your governor, senator and so on. We have a situation where the people that we voted for are sponsoring terrorism. It is just unbelievable that you can vote for people that are in government and they are committing treasonable felony against the state. So, that is why I use the word unbelievable. That we now have people in government that are working against the people that voted them in. It is a bit frustrating to say the least and that is where we are today.

When some people take a critical look at all the challenges Nigeria faces, they claim there is no hope of a better future for the country. But in your opinion, what are the practical steps that can be taken to reset the country on the path to progress?

That is a very deep question. From my experience and knowledge about this country, it is a difficult answered. Because even the youth that I could have said, okay, let us see how these they fare when we handed over power to some of them; they are even worse than the elders. Look at our boys; they are into criminal activities, not because it is their fault, but because poverty has been weaponised for the past two decades. So, it has eaten so deep that I would want to join those who feel that there is really no hope. But, you see, there is always an answer to some of these issues. This country will need to experience a genuine revolution… Then, even those youth that are bad, you have to find a way to reset their minds. I was in the military when Idiagbon was around. I don’t want to mention Buhari because we thought it was Buhari, but it was Idiagbon that was actually behind initiatives such as the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) because Buhari had a second chance and he messed up big time. So, it was Idiagbon. And I know that if there is a revolution in this country, we can gather people that can actually right the wrongs that have sunk so deep. I don’t think it should take time to right the wrongs if there is a proper revolution. Not the one sponsored by United States or by our politicians, but genuine revolution in this country should be my answer. Short of revolution, there is no hope.

What would a revolution in this context look like?

Except you want me to take part in the revolution. If I am to take part in revolution, I know what to do, because that is my training. But what should it look like? It has to be spontaneous. It should not be like something that you organise, because once you organise, you are going to be infiltrated, you are going to be sponsored by the same politicians you want out. So, it has to be something that is spontaneous, whereby people get tired and they say no. Enough is enough. Then new leaders will emerge from that kind of revolution. That is how it happens. If you study all the revolutions that have happened, it is not something that is really well-planned. The leaders will just emerge during those skirmishes and people will listen to them.

Reading your previous statements, you acknowledged that the current constitution, which many have argued is the foundation of all the problems facing Nigeria today, does not contain mechanisms to allow self-determination by the people. In a situation where you don’t have that process, what can be done with the limited options you have for the Yoruba self-government that you envision?

I will still repeat what I said before it is revolution, because you have to kick out all these people, kick out the constitution, kick out all those senators in Abuja. There’s no legal process to kick out the constitution, that is why I’m answering like that. I have deepely studied these issues of: Yoruba Nation, Biafra, and the rest. So, I know the problem and that is why I wrote that article (on Yoruba self-determination). In fact, Tinubu to me, and to some of my colleagues, has killed… he has destroyed the Yoruba race because of his attitude in governance, okay? We had Obasanjo, who is a Yoruba man; you saw how he behaved. Now another Yoruba man, so, I am saying that we are just tired of this, kind of Yoruba people emerging as our leaders, and they have destroyed our image. Yorubas are not like this. This is not who we are. How did we get to this point? So, for me, if you want to talk about the constitution, you can’t change this constitution. You know why? You need the legislative arms and their goodwill at the National Assembly and the state assemblies. I know the process. The Abuja section is Fulani-Hausa/Northern-heavy, they will not allow it to go through. The governors that we have, even in South-West, are already bought, you understand? They are not Omoluabi again. I don’t know how we got here. You can’t even say, okay, the South-West governors should come together and talk and let us do this. They have been compromised so badly that we can’t do much, okay?

And if we can’t use our South-West governors, we cannot use the senators, both at state and federal level, how then do you change the constitution? Look at what Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the former president, did. He set up a Constitutional Conference; they did it, spent a lot of money, and came up with a white paper. Then he left — they basically hushed him out of government and killed the report. So, how else do you want to change the constitution if a whole president of this country set about doing that and failed? They said the blood of the baboons will do something, and basically they chased him out of Aso Rock. And when they got to Aso Rock, Buhari killed the report. Look at the Stephen Oronsaye Report. The report also could have helped, but they killed it.

Now, what is making me write that article (on Yoruba self-determination), or what is giving me strength is that now we have a Yoruba man there who is our son, who I actually thought would make a difference. And he also pronounced that he is going to turn around the Oronsaye Report, in 2024. Now he has not done it three years, almost four years down the line. The Confab Report is lying in Aso Rock there. We know. He has not touched it. And he is a Yoruba man. That is why I wrote that article, because I don’t care whether you are Yoruba, Hausa, or Igbo. If you start behaving in a way that jeopardises the interest of the people that voted you in, I don’t care whether you are my brother, I will talk to you and that is why I wrote that piece. Tinubu has disappointed us all. And I am ready to take him on anywhere, because he should know better. You cannot be this greedy and self-centred — he has sold this country out to the United States and France. For what? Look at our minerals now. How many billions of dollars has he just signed out for the United States, just to stay in power? The French people have taken over our tax system. How can a Yoruba man do that? I was a Defence Attaché in Paris for four years. I know the French very well. I know how they cheated the French-speaking countries both in Africa and in the Caribbean. I know. I cannot dream that the Nigerian president will now go to France to sell out our country; it is something I cannot dream about. And he did it.

Last week now, he signed off all our mineral resources to the United States. Who does that? Just to remain in power? So, I will talk to him whether he is my younger brother or my elder. Whatever he is, I will talk to him, because this country is bigger than him. I told Buhari the same thing, that this country is bigger than an individual. So, once you are there, whether you are my uncle or my father and you are misbehaving, we have to speak out so that the people can have a sense of relief. All our children are prostitutes now. All our boys are into crime. That is why I even said that to even think about the solution to Nigeria’s problems is difficult, except you have a revolution. The youth are gone; our parents are gone. What is left? So, the constitutional issue cannot be resolved; that is why I mentioned the Oronsaye Report, I mentioned the Confab. Now, see where we are. The Yoruba man, Tinubu, now is there, he cannot implement that same Oronsaye Report. He cannot implement the resolutions of the Confab. He is busy trying to win the next election, to do what with it? I don’t mind if he wins or loses; that is not my issue. Because whether he wins this election, and I want you to quote me, whether he wins or loses this election, it is a loss to the Yorubas. At least Buhari when he was there, he empowered all the Almajiris in the North. That is why they are so powerful now. I don’t know how many people that Tinubu has empowered since he became president in the South-West, except Gilbert Chagoury (the Lebanese businessman who has been a major beneficiary of Federal Government construction projects in the past three years) that he empowered. I don’t know how many other Yorubas that he has empowered. So, that is why I decided to write that article. The fact that he is the president and from Yoruba land does not speak well for us; he is representing us.

In your statement, you expressed fears that the actions and failures of Tinubu’s government may be increasingly presented as the collective project of the Yoruba. From history, some people still maintain today that an Igbo man or woman can never be president because of the 1966 coup. Do you think there is hope of Nigeria moving past this inclination to judge a group based on the actions of a few individuals?

I am a student of history, I am a professor of International Relations, Diplomacy, Strategic Studies. I know what I am saying. I know some people will come out and say I’m talking nonsense, but they will get to know later. Let me tell you, what you just said now actually summarises my fear. I remember the so-called Igbo coup. Till today, the Igbos have been ostracised from governance of this country. Now, Tinubu is doing the same thing. That is why I say whether he wins or loses, we are done for. Yorubas can never have mouth to speak anywhere again! Let’s say he wins this upcoming election and rules till 2031, that is the end of Yoruba leadership in this country. The damage, the destruction, the injury is too deep. Yorubas cannot come up again and say they want to rule this country now. How are you going to do it? I want you to quote me: Except Tinubu can facilitate a Yoruba Nation, I am not talking about true federalism, I am talking about a nation of Yorubas emerging now, we are in trouble. If he does not do it, or he does not facilitate it, let me tell you, once he leaves government in 2031, we will be a slave in this country. The Fulani will take over all the South-West. You cannot talk, because they have the army, they have the police, they have everything under them, and they can overrun you and you can never come near that presidency again, maybe in the next 30 years, just like the Igbos, maybe forever. The only thing he can do for us as Yoruba now is to facilitate for us to have our self-determination and I am saying that, and I want to be quoted. Because if he does not and he leaves that government in 2031, we are done for; Yorubas are done for! And our children, unborn children, are done for! Because I remember what happened during Buhari; it took me a lot of courage to come out and speak against the cabal and they declared me wanted.

So, you can imagine when Tinubu leaves in 2031 and another Fulani becomes president, then the Fulani will take over, and they will enter all your forests, all your towns, all your ministries, everywhere. What can you say? Can you now say, “Okay, you want to resist?” You can’t, because Tinubu has spent eight years and he has messed up everywhere. So, what are we going to do? That is why I am intervening now. It will be another five years for Yoruba people to wake up; they are always sleeping. And when I talk, they will say I am saying nonsense. Then five years later, it will now dawn on them.

Lastly, you also said Yoruba people should neither defend bad government because the president shares their ancestry, nor accept collective blame for policies over which ordinary Yorubas had no special control. So, what do you say to people who say, “This candidate is bad, but I’ll vote for him because he’s my tribesman, he’s Yoruba”?

No, don’t get me wrong. I am speaking more deeply than elections now. Let’s say you now vote for him, I don’t care. Let’s say he wins; I am telling you that if he wins this election, we are done for,; we are dead as Yorubas. If he loses this election, we are dead and buried. That is what I am saying. I am not talking about, “Oh, maybe you should not vote for him because he’s a Yoruba man.” I say vote for him, we are done; don’t vote for him, we are done. We are already dead. So, the only repair he can do now is to facilitate a Yoruba nation to come out from this contraption. If he cannot do that, Yoruba people reading this should know that they are done for, except some of the criminals among us in Yoruba land that are benefiting from the status quo right now. Those are the ones that will say what I am saying is wrong, or what I am saying is nonsense, because they are benefiting from this iniquity that we are seeing. And they are fewer than 0.00001 per cent of the people. So, I am speaking for the majority.

When a Hausa or Fulani man is seeking a position, his fellow Hausa or Fulani rally round him and keep quiete about his shortcomings to preserve his chances. When the Hausa/Fulani man wins, he remembers his brothers.

When an Igbo man is seeking a position like Peter Obi, his fellow Igbo mostly rally around him and lampoon dissenting fellow Igbo like Soludo. When the Igbo man wins, he remembers some of his brothers.

When a Yoruba man is seeking a position, you typically see some fellow Yoruba "educated" critics who would be busy shouting out his precieved shortcomings to undermine his chances. When the Yoruba man wins, he typically does not remember his brothers.

The foregoing is one of the reasons the less educated Hausa/Fulani have prevailed in political leadership against the other two major tribes. When a group is United and speak less, they prevail over the educated group that speaks too much and is not united.

NAF won’t let civil authorities like NCAA to inspect their aircraft air worthiness based on a lot of issues with air worthiness. They need to check all their aircraft for airworthiness and not by themselves. Half of their fleet are not airworthy if thoroughly checked.

It is a risk flying in any NAF Airplane or Helicopter considering the widespread corruption in the country, lack of NCAA oversight (implying lack of regulatory oversight) and regimental structure of the military which makes it difficult for subordinates to question orders even in the face of clear risk.

I believe Buba Galadima is being economical with the truth. All those degrees will take a minimum of around 20 years ro acquire except they are run concurrently. For someone who has spent that long acquiring academic certificates, the ideal path is lecturing and I don't believe Nigeria is that bad that she cannot get a lecturing job except she is not okay with that or the pay or for some other reason. ACCA alone cost as much as N 2 million or more to acquire.

then Ojukeu and d others u mentioned had axe to grind with Zik....u think say u wise abi?

OBJ withheld Lagos State funds during his Presidency. He hated Tinunu because he was thenonly AD Governor that did not support OBJ 2nd Term and didn't allow PDP take over the State.
Pa Adebanjo disliked Tinunu because they claimed he hijacked AD afrom Afenifere and turned it to ACN.
Ojukwu has a reason to hate Awolowo because Awo did not pull out the West from Nigeria when Biafra was declared. Awo also recommended stoppage of food supplies to Biafra to quicken the end of the war.
Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna were ethic Igbo and Nzeogwu even fought in the Biafra War. They have a reason to side their fellow Igbo above Awolowo but they nonetheless rated Awo higher that Zik for leadership.

I have stated the axes OBJ and Adebanjo had to grind with Tinubu that is publicly known as well as at least Teo reasons for Ojukwu to hate Awolowo whom he nonetheless praised as the Best President Nigeria never had.

Please state the axes you think Nzeogwu, Ifeajun and Ojukwu had to grind with Azikiwe.

saintkel:
same way OBJ rated Obi far better than Tinubu and even Late Pa Adebanjo but did u hear them?....no, u decided to go for Tinubu because he's Yoruba and now u want to lecture me on Zik and Awolowo?

OBJ and PA Adebanjo have axes to grind with Tinubu and that fact is well known. So if they rate anyone above Tinubu, it is understandable and attributable to their beef with him. However, Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna and Odumegwu Ojukwu have no are to grind with Azikiwe. In fact Ojukwu had every reason to rate Awolowo low as a result of the Biafra War, before, during and after. But Ojukwu nonetheless rates Awolowo high. That is clearly not it the category of your comparison.

And I suppose u are a Yoruba man who only sees good in only what his people do n overlook others ....who put d policy of 20 pounds for d Igbos after d war?....does that person sound to u like a national economist?....Zik may not be perfect but he always had Nigeria in mind...someone who wanted Nigeria more than biafra and u had the guts to tell me Awolowo was better Nigerian than Zik?...no let ogun descend on u dis morning

Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna and your Biafra Generalissimo, Odumegwu Ojukwu rated Awolow better than Azikiwe. These are people who knew Zik and Awo directly and not you that learnt about them in the news and from what your Uncles and Parents told you. Truth is bitter, just like some good medicine are bitter, but to get well, you need to take them.

You should be asking the Jews what exactly they're doing in a Islamic country? Also how come they didn't come with their own plane that they have to fly a Muslim airline.

If I have the opportunity to fly a flight, anyone can be my pilot.

Whether you admit it ot not, this incidence will expose Muslim pilots to a lot of scrutiny and make it more difficult for so.e of them to gain employment.

Even the Middle Eastern airlines will start auditing their airline pilots. For example, Saud Arabi and UAE will hardly be comfortable with a muslim pilot with radical Shia ideology and Iranian sympathies flying their airline or indeed any airline into their airports. The fact is that Islamic terrorists, by their "nothing is too sacred to use" in their fight, will only lead to more bias, caution and scrutiny in dealing with Muslims.

And for those supporting them like you, keep up the anarchist and terrorism violence and cry later about Islamophobia. Who would not be wary of a violent mad man?

saintkel:
When it comes to one Nigeria....give credit to d Zik of Africa.....Dr Nnamdi Zik.....

I suppose you are an Igbo man or Igbo sympathizer driven by ethnic bias and limited knowledge.

If you are well versed in Nigerian Political History, you will know that Obafemi Awolowo and Nnamdi Azikiwe are not in the same category.

Awo was a credible and progressive leader whom his people celebrate with tangible and clear legacies beyondn rethorics. Look at the Free Education, the First TV Station in Africa, the Cocoa House, Oodua Investments and several other achievements. I challenge you do list out the achievements of Zik in comparison that left as much impact on the Easterners. Awolowo's tangible impact on the Yoruba people is not matched by any other political leader in Nigerian History. Google it or un it through AI and you will get the same answer.

Secondly, Awolowo advocated for True Federalism, believing that unity could only be achieved if each ethnic group grew at its own pace through powerful regional self-governance. Azikiwe on the other hand advocated for a highly centralized Unitarian Government, the kind of Government we have today, which many now lament. Unsurprisingly, the birth of the Nigerian Unitarian Government came through Aguiyi Ironsi and was secretly supported by Azikiwe.

Thirdly, do you know that in the widely labelled "Igbo Coup" of 1966 by Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna, the compost believed it was only Awolowo, given his track record and integrity, that could lead Nigeria. This was despite the fact that Awolowo was then in prison.

Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu further confirmed Awolowo's leadership by referring to Awolowo as the best President Nigeria never had. None of these people saw Azikiwe as a contender despite being a fellow Igbo. If Awolowo was a betrayer and tribalism as some uneducated people say, do you think Ojukwu would not know better?

On the personal integrity level, Azikiwe had a massive financial scandal in 1956, when the Foster-Sutton Tribunal investigated the influx of Eastern Regional public funds into the African Continental Bank (ACB), a bank in which Azikiwe and his family held significant personal interests. The inquiry found that Azikiwe had breached public trust by failing to separate his private business interests from his public office.

Now consider what each man said about the other:

Awolowo said: Zik is a man of words, I am a man of action. Chief Azikiwe is a good nationalist, but he is not a practical administrator.

Azikiwe said: Awolowo is a brilliant man, but his politics is sectional. While some people preach welfarism for a section of Nigeria, we preach freedom and unity for the whole of Nigeria.

For all his advocacy for freedom, unity and central government, what did Azikiwe bring home for his people? He traded Prime Minister for ceremonial President and made political alliances that undermined his integrity and ideologies. Surprisingly he was more concerned about being Premier of Western Region than his own Eastern Region.

Gtbank's H1 2026 Disaster: The Delayed Confession Of A Bank In Decline

The author appears to have an undisclosed beef or an axe to grind with either GTB or their CEO. The piece is not really objective.

Delat521:
In your delusional and self serving dogmatic beliefs you think you have raise a sensible objective facts that it weighty enough to discredit Islam.

Tell me one or two individuals that well research Christianity and Islam and later settle for the former. Infact many of such are only converted because of money/material inducement. People reverting back to Islam are doing after well thoughtful research and accepting the Truth in the face unrelenting propaganda being perpetrates against Islam.

The insults that go ahead of you in your post define you. You claim to do research but have issues engaging with facts.

In Islam, the punishment for apostasy is death. It is there in Sahih al-Bukhari 6922: "Whoever changes his religion, kill him." Now, does that not make Islam a one way street where once you are in, there is no going our except you want to die?

No matter the amount of research you do as a Muslim, can you easily get out of Islam without threats to your life? So what does that say about your religion?

NOETHNICITY:
I did!

1, the scripture is not preserved.

2, the scripture has numerous contradictions, so much that Christian textual criticism scholars admit that there are over 100 thousand corruptions in the new testament alone.

3, Christians worship 3 gods.

4, Bible writer(particularly the synoptic gospels) are anonymous.

Etc

Your arguments for your alleged conversion from Christianity to Islam are watery.

Claiming that the scripture is not preserved in comparison to the Quran is ludicrous. Have you researched why your current copy of the Quran is known as the Uthmanic Codex, which arose as a result of increasing discrepancies in various versions of the Quran and recitations? Uthman burned thousands of other Quran versions. Have you heard of the Quran of Ali, the Levantine Quran, Imam's Quran?

Secondly, which scholars agree that there are over 100K contradictions in the scripture? Indeed some say that there are passages in the scripture that appear to conflict with none another, but it is widely accepted that there are no significant contradictions. The Bible contain text spanning over 5,000 years and it is understandable that wfrom copying and translations over the years, some passages may appear rp be inconsistent. But the theme is remarkably uniform from.Genesis to Revelation. Even Quran that has existed for less than 2,000 years has inconsistencies and abrogations, meaning later verses supercede earlier inconsistent ones.

A major difference is that scripture si inspired, and no one claims that it is written by God who is infallible. But the Quran is claimed to be divinely revealed by Allah to the effect that the words and the inconsistencies get attributed to Allah, who ought to be infallible.

Thirdly, you clearly lack understanding of the Trinity, hence the claim that Christians worship 3 Gods. Elohim, though in the plural, is ONE. Hear O Israel, the Lord your God, is one. The Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one, a unity of essence and purpose. If one mind exist across 3 bodies, there are essentially one. If you desire further explanation, let me know. Note that Allah , just like God, is a title and not a name like Yahweh or Jesus. That is why the Arabic translation for Trinity is Allah al-Ab (God the Father), Allah al-Ibn (God the Son) and Allah al-Ruh al-Qudus (God the Holy Spirit).

Your furth excuse on identifying the specific authors of the synoptic gospels as a basis for conversion to Islam is tenuous and ought to be discounternaced. Have you considered the fact that there is not fatwa or death sentence on your head for your conversion to Islam? Have you bothered examining the assurance of salvation in Christianity vis a vis the Islamic depence on the mercy of Allah who has the final discretion on the matter? Thus a Muslim cannot with certainty at any time say that when he dies, no matter how pious his life, he would go to Jannah?

Idaytesj29:
Deuteronomy 13:1–11 (and related passages like Deuteronomy 17:2–7): A false prophet, family member, or friend who entices others to worship other gods is to be put to death by stoning. The community is to show no pity, with the goal of purging evil from Israel’s midst. Entire cities that turn to idolatry face destruction.

Comparing Deuteronomy 13:1–11 with the laws of apostasy and its traditional death penalty in Islam is a point of that some Islic apologists raise in discussions to support their view.

However, the directive in Deuteronomy and those relating to apostasy in Islam differ significantly in their context, textual focus, historical execution, and modern application.

It is necessary to distinguish that the Biblical verse you cite, while it appears in the Old Testament and The Torah, is not binding on Christians under the New Covenant. That is aside the strict Israelite community and their Mosaic Covenant with God, which underlies the verses in Deuteronomy.

Now, to distinguish between the Deuteronomy and Islamic apostasy matters. The core offense in the Jewish Law encapsulated in the verse is "Incitement to idolatry" which actually constitutes an existential threat for the community at that time. It is not prohibiting your personal choice compared to Apostasy under Islam, which severely limits you choice regardless of any incitement.

Secondly, capital punishment in Judaism or Jewish law lapsed more than 2,000 years ago without any records of application. This is critically different from Islamic apostasy law for which people continue to be executed, often by jungle justice, even in current times.

Christianity evolved out of Judaism, though it is a different religion. If there had been instructions to kill for apostasy, adherents of Judaism that became Christians would have been killed. They were persecuted no doubt, but there was no law in Judaism mandating their execution.

There is no where in Judaism or Christianity saying that you cannot make the personal choice of leaving these religions or that you leaving must be punished by death. In Islam, the punishment is death, as affirmed in the Hadiths of Sahih Buhkari and Sahih Muslim.

As narrated by Ibn Abbas in Sahih al-Bukhari 6922: "Whoever changes his religion, kill him."

cl0r0x:
That satanic trap will blindfold you. Don't even try to research. Wonder why big doctors and engineers cant even ask questions?

A spiritual jail.

Argue based on facts and not emotion. What is the satanic trap that is blindfolding you? How much of research have you done yourself?

Is there any lie in what I have said about Islam? In Islam, the punishment for apostasy is death. And it is there clearly in the Hadits of Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. It is not something I have invented.

It is a direct command narrated by Ibn Abbas in Sahih al-Bukhari 6922: "Whoever changes his religion, kill him."

So where is the satanic trap blinding you, when I say that Islam brooks no "dissent" and is a one way street where you can enter freely but can only exit by death? Instead of making accusations, state your facts.

For you to know the legacy of Islam to this modern world, go into a crowded bus, train or airport terminal with a backpack and shout "Allahu Akbar" and see what happens. How can a supposed religion of peace invoke so much fear and violence?

Forget about any apologetic arguments. The impact and how the world views it matters a lot. It is statistical fact that of all current religions in thr world, Islam has the highest association with terrorism. That is the cold fact, not an opinion.

PigTormentor:
Religious fanatical bigots like you are worse then those extremists that you are crying about.

There is no fanatical bigotry in what I have said. I have only stated the facts. In Islam, the punishment for apostasy is death. And it is there clearly in the Hadits of Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. It is not something I have invented.

It is a direct command narrated by Ibn Abbas in Sahih al-Bukhari 6922: "Whoever changes his religion, kill him."

So how am I a bigot to state that Islam brooks no "dissent" and is a one way street where you can enter freely but can only exit by death? Instead of making accusations, state your facts.

Shimran:
Muslims are not decent and are one way streets cos they disagree with salvation (an innocent soul dying for punishment of other's sin)?

Good

What I meant was dissent and not decent. A Muslim can only leave Islam as a dead body due to the Islamic position on Apostasy.

Sahih al-Bukhari 6922: "Whoever changes his religion, kill him."

Sahih al-Bukhari 6878 and Sahih Muslim 1676: "...a life for a life, a married person whoncommits adultery, and one who leaves his religion and separates from the community."

While you may argue that Surah Al-Baqarah (2:256) states thus: "There is no compulsion in religion", take time to examine the context properly and you will see that it applies only to entry and not exit from Islam.

So it is a one way street, You have a choice to enter but none to exit. It is not a question of decency. It is a question of "dissent". Dissenters and deserters in Islam are seen as apostates worthy of death.

NOETHNICITY:
Embracing Islam after an open hearted research is very normal. Same happened to me. You can’t miss the objective facts and evidence if you approach with an open mind.
It’s not about dreaming and getting called in a vision while asleep. It’s about objective evidence!

It is difficult to find anyone who would genuinely do open hearted research and renounce Christianity to embrace Islam. Islam is a one way street that brooks no desent and no retreat. Islam recommends death for apostasy and offers no guarantee of salvation, no matter what the apologists try to spin about it. Moderate Muslims are only being accommodated for numerical strength, the true face of Islam are the fundamentalists.

Dangote appears ro be selling less than 5% of the total shares for the Refinery. He is a business man and will think of himself first. It is normal.

Never knew Omotola had Fish brain

Avoid insulting people; it is a hallmark of limited intelligence.

Omotola did what was right and expected under the circumstances. Ollie said he was a producer, not that he was just another artist in the same production. Omotola cannot be expected to take on roles beyond what was she sogned up for. It is notbin all situations that busy bodies get rewarded.
