The choice of words from these aspirants often show their understanding of the task ahead.

What we need is a LEADER and not a RULER. The President in a democracy is answerable the people but Rulers are not!

socialmediaman:
Can you please help me ask Buhari and APC when they’ll stop blaming GEJ and PDP and everyone else but themselves for the poverty, joblessness, insecurity, economic recession, corruption and mess within their government?

Nigerians typically avoid responsibility. How often do we blame our parents, blame our circumstances, blame witches, wizards and village people for actions that we are sometimes responsible? It is our nature.

All the facts listed here are not the reason for ASUU strike. ASUU never went on strike to improve the quality and accountability of education in tertiary institutions. They strike to improve their own remuneration!
ASUU was founded to represent the welfare of its members so let's stop lying on their behalf.

Nbote:
What does he know at dis age.. He jus knows d man in d photo is his dad but what he doesn't know is he'll neva see him again... Both d military and d Shiites are to blame for most of those deaths.. D army for opening fire on protesters and d Shiites for daring military men with live bullets to fire.. Bullets will kill U whether U form a shield or not

Their clashes with the Army brings suspicion. The Army has no business doing the work of the Police!

Esseite:
They steal because we always let them..

Thank you for your comment.
There is a National House of Assembly with over 400 members combined and they passed the INEC Budget. Are they not therefore accomplices? And seeing that they are the People's Representatives, then the People are also indirectly accomplices!!!

I was really surprised that absurd budget got passed!

WhyMoD:
There's a minimum requirements to being a president of a country. And the last time I checked being in the army wasn't that minimum. Secular education is..


In the army you're only taught how to kill..
And nothing more. But secular education teaches critical thinking and empathy too

Oh is that why Nigeria has turned to graveyard since Bubu's inception

The minimum is evidence of attending secondary school as ruled by the Judge on Adeleke's case for Osun Governorship election!

afamaustin:
Who be Markafi pls

He is most likely going to end up as the final PDP Presidential candidate to be fielded against President Buhari.

seborrhic:
I actually thought this same argument canvassed by some lawyers and the PDP itself was just a propaganda tool and the party trying to blackmail the electoral empire.
But now that Iwu has clearly stated its antecedents and the only constitutional provisions it should apply,its clear that Adeleke should have been declared the winner.
Its a tricky situation now.
If PDP loses after participating in the re-run,it has shot itself in the foot,legally.
I feel PDP should held to court to stop the rerun and compel INEC to declare Adeleke the winner of the election already.

Is it not a similar situation with Audu in Kogi State that led to the emergence of the scourge: Yahaya Bello?

AtikuNetwork:
It is the cross politicians have to bear. The day you become a politician in Nigeria is the day you automatically become a thief in the yes of the public, no matter what, and you can't fight it. The moment you get tagged a 'thief', it sticks. Ask Atiku and others. The opposition doesn't even have to prove that you have stolen, all they have to do is just accuse you.

It is not a cross they have to bear if they embrace transparency.
If you always like to share meat with your teeth, you would always be accused of eating the bigger meat and you have no defence.

shedy03:
My stomach always remind me of the difference between GEJ's and the current govt. It has not been feeding well since mid 2015.
#bringbackPDP

Eulogizing GEJ in the face of Buhari's failures is a sign of brain damage or at best a variation of the Stockholm syndrome.

So we have nothing better to do as Nigerians than going back to our vomit when the food doesn't taste as good as we expect? And we expect to magically progress as a nation with this kind of mindset?

TimFisher2:
Shut up!

Do you think the Department of the State Security Service is a kitchen Agency like FRSC that you can order at will or politicians using it as hide and seek game!

They are not partisan,they are charged with sole powers of protecting the President,Vvip and safeguarding the country from any internal and external aggressors or threat!

And they are answerable to the Office of the President alone,not even the Governors have right or control over them

Selfish interests have been shown to have powers that are almost akin to life and death over a man. Who will order a man to kill his own child and he would even try to obey except God? Yet have we not seen men kill their own children and have sex with their own blood for their selfish reasons? Have you not seen powerful CEOs humbled by weak women just for 5 minutes enjoyment?

What can make Daura go against his boss other than selfish reasons?

The Supreme Court should have avoided considering the matter knowing the Court for Sports Arbitration had given judgement and this was a sports issue with international dimensions. Now that FIFA threatens to barn Nigeria, the Presidency is forced to ridicule the Judiciary with DSS.

I hate it when people are being corrected or reprimanded based on what they provided for public consumption and reaction and they say "Mind your business".
Do you give such response when you get positive comments? No.
Anything put in the public domain becomes a public affair. If you open your privates in the public, you cannot plead that people should mind their business. In fact in some climes it may constitute the crime of public indecency!
If you want people to mind their business, do your thing in your house or even better in your bedroom!

Sex amongst human beings except for procreation is largely transactional. People have sex for one benefit or the other even in committed relationships. A guy may enjoy sex with a beautiful lady while she actually had to endure it because in the end, the guy spends on her. That is her compensation. She may do it because she has marriage in sight and to keep the relationship. It is all nonetheless, compensation even if it is emotional. Because sex is a game for two it will inevitably involve direct or indirect trading between the two because they may not have the same mood or appetite all the time.
And remember, this is Nigeria, where "nothing goes for nothing" and "what do I stand to gain" mindset reigns supreme.
The Yoruba's have said it: "Isiro loko dido!"

A new variation of the "Change" scam. Changing the name of the team without changing the players will always produce same results!

It is not enough to dismiss and prosecute him. The lady is dead and gone but it is better to protect others against such occurrence by holding liable the process that keep producing lunatics in police uniform!

janellemonae:
It's not the O2 arena. The O2 arena is huge. 40,000seats. Even the BBC went to interview wizkid for selling it out, for a relatively unknown African artist. Also the 1st time for an African artist. It's for them pop star/rockstar/Beyoncé types. Some British artists can't even sell it out.

There are other small halls at the o2. The o2 indigo is one of them. This is the one African artists normally use. Tiwa does shows at the o2 indigo as well.

The O2 Arena is actually 20,000 capacity while the O2 Indigo is just 2,750 capacity. 40,000 is huge and no music arena in the UK boasts that capacity. Largest is the Manchester Arena with 21,000 capacity.

Reno Omokri's posts sometimes makes sense and sometimes doesn't. He should reduce the frequency to increase the quality.
Saraki 's powers as a Senator and Senate President derive from the people and should be used for the benefit of the people. Encouraging him to use power for his own ends is enmity to the Nigerian people and democracy at large!
Who really is Reno therefore fighting for? The people or Buhari's enemies?

A trigger happy Policeman kills someone. The Policeman is dismissed as a bad egg but the dead stay dead! I believed Police should be made to bear vicarious liabilities for their officers. The solution to an organization that give guns to mentally unstable men and bad eggs is not to have the men simply dismissed. Let reparations be deducted from Police funds or gratuities for the injured or dead at least. Let their commanding or supervising office who observed a bad egg but refused to report also be sacked! That will encourage the Police to weed out the bad eggs before they commit attrocities! Let the Police start learning to bear responsibility!

If the Senate is so eager on an issue of personal importance to its Senate President that is even still "alleged", while hundreds and thousands of people are killed by herdsmen, militias and what have you without the Senate making such a priority, then it is clear they are there to present personal interests father than the people.

Buhari should simply tell them to go screw themselves. The purpose of their existence is already defeated!

God knows i love this Pastor Biodun guy...he is a huge role model of living the christlike life....He exudes riches and wealth in everything he does...from his dressings to his fleet of cars..to the edifice that houses his church and private residence...one needs to step foot into COZA abuja to experience wealth in its raw form.....''you will be like if church dey like this..how will heaven be??...


I love this man walahi...He is a clear example that you cannot serve God and remain poor...i rather stay at home and watch ebony thre..esome moojo every sunday than worship in deeper life,mfm,choosen etc..those ones never motivate one to be rich..always dealing with imaginary enemies.

I love you pastor biodun.

If you will rather watch porn on a Sunday than attend church for whatever excuse, then you are yet to meet Jesus. And if Biodun Fatoyinbo's life is Christlike to you, then it further affirms your need to be saved urgently. The power of the Gospel is in its life-transformation and not wealth creation. Fatoyinbo's wealth creation capabilities is next to zero around people like Jeff Bezos and John Rockefeller. Will you rather not attend their churches or worship at their altars since earthly wealth is your aim!

It is important for you to answer a few questions Mr. OP:
1. At you married yourself or currently single?
2. Did your ex make any serious sacrifices for you in the past like abortions, etc that is capable of altering or affecting her future?
3. How did you separate 10 years ago? I hope it wasn't that you disappointed her and put her in a difficult situation that subsequentky affected her future decisions? For example travelling and stand I her up after sacrifices, promises, etc and she was now forced by age or circumstances to marry for the wrong reason.

Lots of people here assume you treated her right and her crying was from nostalgia. Such may not be the case. Her crying may be from remembering her irreparable loss in loving you and being disappointed and it weighs on your mind from a tinge of guilt because you are obviously worried by her crying for one reason or the other.

Mind you, this is just another thread of thought and it is your answers that will shed light.

Pastor asks for pregnancy test result from couple that has traditionally completed their Marraige rites before he would wed them in church
Nairaland what is your take on this please??

The Pastor is right to ask for pregnancy test. People come to church to be joined in Holy Matrimony and not just any form of joining. The Pastor didn't force them to come for Church Wedding, they were the ones who asked for it. They are free to go for court wedding. It is apparent from their behaviour they had zero regard for God in the first instance. Being seen in the forefront of Church worship yet for nictating unrepentantly! It is clear the lady is likely pregnant even before the traditional wedding which was less than a month before they asked for Church wedding.

If it is still available buzz me because DM isn't working.

Interested. What's you contact details and location to check it out?

WorldRichest:
Can any Sheeple point out the lies in Daddy Freeze's statements?

It is necessary that a line be drawn which Daddy Freeze or whatever his name is, has crossed. Critizing unbiblical practices of modern day Pastors with the aim of bring about positive change is different from trying to ridicule Christianity and the Bible under any guise whatsoever! His life in itself is amoral but we are told to see the truth in the message rather than the messenger. However it is becoming clear that Daddy Freeze's overall objective seems to be to bring the Bible and Christianity to disrepute.
As a person he already has a problem living a moral life and on one count he accuses Pastors of using a portion of the Bible for their own benefits, while now advocating his desire to use a portion of the Bible to support immoral living! Can someone please ask him what he stands for and actually practices and what is is overall aim? Freeing people from the so-called shackles of religion to now live immoral lives defined by individual concepts of wrong and right?

hatchy:
Many people especially Nigerians are ignorant of Isreal as a Jewish nation and that they hate Christians and Christianity.
Isreal is a racist country that looks down on blacks like no other country.

Stupid people.

Everybody looks down on blacks: Arabs, Isrealis, British, Americans and even fellow Africans and Nigerians. If it is people who look up to us that are good or we want to interact with we wont even have the comfort of our country. Let us forget how people regard us and do things to make them want to associate with us! That is the way forward. If Africans constitute themselves into unwanted guests, don't let's gripe when the host says enough is enough! Even we too had "Ghana Must Go" in Nigeria once!

HajimeSaito:
You have done the most noble thing a Christian can do. Don't listen to any son of Belial who tells you otherwise.

Proverbs 19:17

Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.

Proverbs 28:27

Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.

Giving to the poor is good and commendable. But it is not tithe and should not be equated to it or confused with it. Even in the church, offering is different from tithe. Everything has its place cause when Mary poured the oil to honour Jesus and Judas tried to make "common sense" argument for the poor, the Lord gave him appropriate response. Now this doesn't mean I support Pastors that live flamboyant lives with church offerings and tithe.

The allegations of the breakaway Pastors is immaterial to the ownership of the property. MFM International had accountability for the money raised and the property purchased. If there had been any inquiry into the church and use of funds as a registered charity during operations in Bowie, Maryland, MFM International would have been responsible and not the Pastors individually. So with the responsibility also comes the benefits. If the Pastors want to start a new church, they should break away clean and start afresh. If MFM is evading tax indeed, it is a separate case entirely.

1.Universities to manage their IGR the way they like and exemption from TSA;
2. Exemption of Endowment Funds, JV cash from TSA;
3. Payment of University Salary Scale to teachers in primary schools in universities;

What is the core mandate and purpose of establishing ASUU for it to be making such demands as above? How is the welfare of lecturers tied to these if not to tacitly support corruption? What is their business with TSA and IGR?

shegxi:
people can be so stupid in d name of religion and it is terribly annoying. though freeze goes too far at times, d guy is right in most of his assertions.

This is not a religious problem. People can generally be very stupid when desperately looking for solutions to their problems. How many times have girls and women slept with people to facilitate admission to schools, for jobs, for academic results, for promotion and much more? We generally discount morality or religious admonitions when desperate! Please don't let us blame it on religion at all!

Gospel Artistes are already Ambassadors of Christ, which is very likely to be in conflict with a worldly ambassador that is more concerned with popularity and current trends that will sell their products.
Just as it is not easy for you to be a GLO ambassador and an MTN ambassador at the same time, the Brand of Jesus cannot be corrupted or collocated with another.
