[size=14pt]We’ll not allow government to challenge our faith –Christian leaders[/size]
From Our reporter
Sunday, April 15, 2012

Christian leaders in Osun State have cautioned the government against setting the state on fire over wearing of hijab in public schools and changing of names of public schools bearing Christian names.

A Pentecostal group, Gospel Pushers Association, in a statement issued
in Osogbo on Saturday said signals emanating from activities of the governor concerning Christianity were not palatable to the ears of Christians in the state. They also warned the governor to avoid actions that will portray him as being overtly or covertly supporting any militant religious sect. The statement signed by the group’s chairman, who is also the immediate past secretary of the state’s chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Rev. Theophilus Ayodeji, reads:

“Our attention has been drawn to reports of attempts by the government of Osun State to change uniforms of public primary and secondary schools and rename public schools bearing Christian names. We want to say that no Christian in Osun State is comfortable with attempts to change names of Christian schools and introduction of “Unchristian single uniform for all schools in the state.”

The group specifically cautioned Aregbesola to resist any temptation to change the name of one of the oldest schools on the state capital. “Specifically, we want to mention Salvation Army Primary School, Alekuwodo, Osogbo, which the government of Mr. Rauf Aregbesola is determined to give a new name, just as a new uniform would be introduced by the end of this month to replace the ones that have marked out these schools for over five decades. Our position is very clear. We are not against the government renovating schools, but that should not be a reason to change the names of these schools, many of which are older than the present political office holders. Every school in Osun State has its history and uniforms. We will not allow any government to challenge our faith as children of God.

“Osun is a secular state renowned for peaceful co existence. The first governor of the state, Alhaji Isiaka Adeleke, and the second governor, Chief Bisi Akande, are Muslims, who were overwhelmingly voted for by Christians, who did not mind their religion, just as Akande’s successor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, was overwhelmingly elected by Christians and Muslims, even when he and his running mate are Christians. These past governors protected the secularity of our state, which unfortunately, is being threatened by the present governor.

“We hereby call for restraints on the part of the government. We advise that the governor should tread softly over the introduction of hijab in public schools and should not be seen overtly or covertly supporting any militant religious sect.”

koruji: Fool, that is what you said here when I told you the overzealous policemen that deported Osun State indigenes on their way to Abuja just made them rich. At the time you were "praising" the police for a job well-done. Guess what? The courts awarded them N11 million https://www.nairaland.com/887110/court-awards-n11m-arrested-acn

You just keep pushing your mouth.

Senior broda Koru. Take SSS to court na, you tink say dem be police? LOLZZZZ!

[quote author=ndu_chucks]I repeat, you are a fool and very ignorant. Gas used by power plants are not piped to the plants from the source of the gas. The gas companies for the most part have huge storage facilities from where the gas is piped (short distance) to end users. We are talking about a similar process where the smaller storage facility is owned by the company in question. The gas will then be piped to the plant from the said tanks.

Once again, your attempt to change the topic has failed woefully. Let me remind you of the main issues raised in this thread - I welcome your positive contribution, and thanks in advance:[/quote]Chei! What an entertaining day today is turning out to be! You ask people for proof and they start going orange with madness.
Sir, where are your examples of any power plants that are run from gas storage tanks?


NONE?

Funny stuff!

^
Senior broda Koru, let them go to court or flee the country or whatever.
Which court are you proposing they go to to?

Comedy!

[quote author=Musiwa,,]you make me laugh which your people reject you. You no know anything... You dont hear clear sweep before. I will score over 95% of the vote... against anybody who run away against me. I[/quote]Exactly!

Ekun! Aare Baba! We are your followers.

Gbawe, ayam still waiting for your own picsho's o!

It must be soul searing to tell obvious lies, knowing that people know you are lying.

Gbawe!

Aigbofa: The PDP should back their allegations with facts. What they are doing right now is nothing more than a smear campaign. When is ravelling to an unnamed African country tantamount to an illegal activity that warrants a probe? Is the SW PDP this re.tarded? Maybe they should all join a circus and spare us this childish charade. Bloody clowns

My brother, people generally have facts before summoning the fearful security services (who seem to have swung into action already anyway). This whole thing is spiralling wildly, who knows where it will end?

Nobody plays games at this level.

Dread.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]You are a fool sir. Many such plants exist in remote locations in the USA and they do generate their own power and send the rest to the transmission grid. And yes, they use storage tanks for gas used to fire the plants. Many of the storage tanks are underground. olodo[/quote]Mr wise man, do you have examples of powerplants that run off stored gas?
Maybe the Americans were stupid afterall to have built the gas pipleline at great cost across Alaskan wastelands or the Europeans are daft enough to pump gas all the way from Russia to parts like France, Germany, the UK etc. Who knows?

Security watch list: Tension in Osun
•[size=14pt]Aregbesola has links with North African extremists –PDP[/size]

Rattled by the recent threat to its government during the week by the dreaded Boko Haram sect, the ruling PDP has called on security agencies to ask Osun State Governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, his mission to a North African country a few days ago, even as it warns against his romance with extremists. The party is specifically worried that the governor launched his campaigns in Osun State with a document he called “the Green Book” patterned after Ghaddafi’s Green Book.

The South West PDP in a statement issued by its Zonal Publicity Secretary, Hon Kayode Babade, said it strongly suspects that Aregbesola could be working for some groups with links to extremist organisations in the Magreb. The party said shortly after the much publicised birthday celebration of Senator Bola Tinubu, Aregbesola with another top ranking leader of his party sneaked out of the country to a North African state and came back the third day, adding that security agencies should probe the trip, coming at a time the country was facing security challenges from all sides.

“We also want this man to explain his links with the ousted government of Muammar Ghaddafi of Libya and whether it was just a sheer coincidence that he launched his campaigns in Osun State with a document he called “the Green Book” patterned after Ghaddafi’s Green Book.
“We also want him to explain what informed his government’s decision to introduce one single uniform for all public primary and secondary schools in Osun State and why it is a sin for teachers and civil servants not to sing his own ‘anthem’, which he has used to replace the national anthem.

While insisting that the party’s concern went beyond political considerations, the statement said, “Security agencies in the country should also show more than a passing interest in the suspicious movement of helicopters into and out of Osun Government House at odd hours. We believe some funny moves are going on there,” the party said.

“There are three other ACN governors in the South West that are Muslims. They have largely shown some decorum in matters of religion. We fear that with the way the man in Osun is carrying on, Nigeria and particularly Yorubaland could be endangered,” the PDP said.

Dede1: I say divide the cesspit called Nigeria and watch the progress run amok in various nation states. Nations will concentrate on what they do best and forget the crude oil crap which led to civil war and stamped Nigerians with wanton idiosyncrasy.

Sir, this is just as funny as calling Nigeria a rich country. Gas storage tanks for power plants? Lol!

Mr counterfeit Igbo man from Jigawa; abeg, wait for your mugu's, they will soon pour in.

I no fit laf! NL's counterfeit Igbo man has been "researching!"

Oga, I think you either have bad eyesight or a strong penchant to lie and evade questions. Being a gentleman, I will assume that the problem is bad eyesight. So, for your benefit, here are the questions in large font that the blind can't missread:

[size=23pt]Gbawe, were are Aregbesola's roads?
Where is any evidence of massive "dry season road construction?"
Where is the World Banks 50billa, una chop am?
Where is the much vaunted Osun/Julius Berger partnership?[/size]

Anyways, lemme cry bitterly for you while you stammer, mumble and stumble like somebody that drank garri with alomo bitters; instead of simply answering the questions above.

Pictures of massive road construction, please. Picturesuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! Thats all we wanna see, bro.

Seriously, I'm ashamed for Gbawe's sake. How can anybody defend this level of fuckry?
Chei!

@Gbawe

Sir, why are you staggering, stumbling and misfiring?
We are after evidence of "massive dry season road construction" by Aregbesola here, not infantile stories. Ok?

Do you recall posting this highly embarrassing picture of a bushpath to a cassava farm as evidence of the 50billion World Bank road construction in Osun?

[size=14pt]Gbawe, is this not wickedness? Don't you have a conscience?[/size]

https://www.nairaland.com/866152/osun-world-bank-construct-200km/1#10160396

[size=18pt]This is 419[/size]

Gbrrrrrrrrrrawe, did you not post these pictures that have kwashiorkor on another thread as evidence? Lol!
Why defend lies and theft?

https://www.nairaland.com/902854/aregbesola-commences-road-rehabilitation

Gbawe: Sheyguy actually mentioned seeing the many construction work ongoing in Osun. It is easy to see why the PDP misfits who destroyed the SW , and their sycophants in cyberspace and on Nl, spend their time malevolently formenting lies against Aregbesola and others. For those always asking for pictures, some are seen below. No wonder the worthless 'area-boys' of the PDP on NL have intensified their attacks on Aregbesola lately.They knew that implementatioin phase is upon Osun State.

Where is the massive road construction nau? Choi! Oghene me biko o!

Gbawe: Ogbeni, you are the "disgrace" even if you do not know it. Effing wannabe.

What of your camera na? Dem don tif am?
Please show us the massive dry season road construction we were promised. Were is the vaunted partnership with Julius Berger that Aregbesola lied about? What has happened to the 50billion World Bank funds? Una chop am?

[size=14pt]Gbawe! Gbawe!! Gbawe!!![/size]
How many times I call you so? Where is your conscience?
Why defend liars and thieves with your high stories? Do you get training to tell high stories?

Pathetic.

koruji: Yeah, where you and the rest of the ND militants are being trained, and helped to stockpile arms in Bayelsa and Delta!!!

My broda, don't worry about militants. The problem here is tawun and Aregbesola's/ACN's fascism being percieved as secessionist moves.
We have had people from Iwo telling us the dread that tawun poses to their peaceful existence. We have even learnt on this thread that tawun has already taken lives. It is therefore difficult to understand your defense which so far, only consists of insults.
Aregbesola has not even been able to deny that the hijab has become the official school uniform across the state amongst many other accusations.

So why are you here ventilating violently?

Sir, it is just like the beginning of boko haram, only this time its gonna be nipped in the bud, no matter how red your eyes become.

^
What do you expect, when you people scare the shiit out of people? The dude was most likely too scared to come out plainly.

koruji: Moving on!

...To the next unstable zone! Or even Cuba with the other Tawun. Lol!

What an embarrassment! What a disgrace!

[size=14pt]Gbawe! Gbawe!! Gbawe!!![/size]
How many times I call you so?

^
Brother Gbawe. Has your camera stopped working? Do you have anything less anaemic to show us? Kweke!
Take pictures and come and show us nau. Lolzzzzzzzzzz!!

In the meantime; rewin' an' come again selecta!

koruji: I take it you don't know Beaf's antecedents or perhaps just faking.

...
Beaf and his group were the onces who led the President down the road where 19 innocent Nigerian lives were snuffed out for a garbage piece of policy filled with all kinds of ridiculous lies. He almost got fired for that. Here we are only a couple of months later, they have started down the same path.

Gaddem!
You see proof of why I have concluded that you are unstable?
When did I, an ordinary NLer like you have the power to mislead the President? From where? NL? Oga, you don't need doctors observation to realise certain things.

I magine me getting almost fired by the President! Is he Seun that can ban me from NL, or do you actually think Nigeria is ruled from NL?

You are unstable, bro. Take care of yourself.

@topic
Let us deal with the secessionist Aregbesola and not be diverted by people maniacally pouring venom on others to snatch our collective attention. It is a failed tactic.

This thread is like a winshes gathering, and winshes must suck blood.

koruji: When you call your mother and father in, and all three of you sit together in front of a mirror you will alls see the image of unstable.

Lol! Just get your tawun ticket for special training to Cuba jare! Its all part of the show of shame.

^
Apt response to that load of sentiment that avoids every issue raised.

Beaf: Here are a few of the accusations that Aregbesola failed to address (because they are true).

1. He has sent tawun thugs to Cuba for military training.
2. He has replaced the national anthem at official occassions.
3. No explanation for the strange flags he parades the place with.
4. The Nigerian coat of arms has been removed throughout Osun state and repleaced with one of bogus origins.
5. The hijab is now the official school uniform in Osun.
6. He has replaced his SSS guard with tawun.

Instead, we were regaled with tragic statement after empty statement.

Pathetic.

Why is it that on NL, many choose to insult those who expose lies, false rumours and other forms of dishonesty?

@manny4life
Everyone on NL knows you to be completely neutral. Just be ready for the reaction of the more extreme NLers who are allergic to your neutrality, freedom of speech and commonsense.

[quote author=Awhy.com]I don't care whether you believe or not, I never said Aregbe truely supports the group, nobody cares about Boko Haram until they start showing us that they really exists.[/quote]My brother, I really wouldn't bother replying Koruji. That guy is unstable.
I don't see why anyone would take the tawun threat lightly, or do we want to see extremist Arabs with money trooping in first? They have a way of inviting themselves into any extremist hotspots.

I don't see Vettel coming in any better than 8th. Those ahead of him are too good.
Mercedes might fall back, because of poor tyre management, but Lewis win last year showed that this can be minimised with a 3 stop strategy; so its still up in the air for a Mercedes podium.
Jensen Button used up all his tyres, while Lewis set his time on old rubber (so like last season, he has an extra set). I see Jenson easily falling into the clutches of Lewis and Webber in the early stages.
The one to watch up front is Kobayashi, he might cause an accident.

1 N Rosberg 1:35.121
2 L Hamilton 1:35.626
3 M Schumacher 1:35.691
4 K Kobayashi 1:35.784

shymmex: And you said you're not a PDP guy.

Why can't you mind your darn business, and focus on your state - where power continues to change hands from thieves to armed robbers. Ibori is locked in Belmarsh Prison, out here in London - go pay him a visit, and leave Osun state alone. Your lame duck president hasn't done a SINGLE THING since he was sworn in - yet the only thing you eat, drink, and sleep is Aregbesola. Mind your business and focus on your state.

I also led the battle cry against Ibori on NL, night and day. Stop misfiring, bro.
Aregbesola is bloody useless. It is a lie?

Abeg, if you have pictures of the promised "massive road construction," then please post them and stop dribbling yourself and tripping over your own tongue.
Aregbesola boasted about the "dry season" and how he was partnering with Julius Berger, the World Bank had given 50billion funding etc...
Pictures, bro. Pictures! If you have none, then sit and watch.

[quote author=Awhy.com]People that has never been to Osun state before are just commenting base on religious and political sentiments, come to the state and see things for yourself, how can a state have a coat of arm and flag to the extent of removing the national coat of arm and flag from all public office and place and replacing them with the state's own, only the national anthem is the Nigeria symbol that still exist in Osun. As per the religious group, Aregbesola used them as his body guards as at 2007 when he was campaigning for election but I don't know whether he's still using them, even the former Gov build a house for them and bought them a bus which later killed some of them in an accident which they blame on the "evil" bus, he did that to calm things down during the face off between them and masqurades and to solicit for there support in the election as this people are very many and increasing everyday, come to Iwo and do your findings these people are spreading fast and they are capable of doing anything, Aregbe might not be supporting them but they use to get away with anything they do and they decide when and how other religious group operates. This is how Boko Haram starts.[/quote]Brother, you are only partially correct. Aregbesola has actually replaced the national anthem with an unknown one as well.
As for tawun, they form the group of servants that carry unknown flags in procession before Aregbesola (like an emperor) at official gatherings.
