Goshen360: Because he sets up parishes and keeps them under the HQ, telling them to remit revenues to the HQ. Tell me that is not political setup or how such is practiced in the body of Christ by the Apostles.
There must be control, coordination and monitoring. Do you expect Rccg to be where it is without such measuremeasures. Do you know the spate at which infividuals would have enriched themselves. That is not politics but a control measure.
AdeniyiA: in as much as you have some valid points concerning the disintegration of the head church after the death of the GOs, did you ever ask if God is through with him? if not that some churches have gone commercial, the position of an overseer is not like that of politics ,where the outgoing office holder can choose his successor. This is strictly God's business I believe that since the church was handed over to him nd has since being waxing strong,it would surely wax stronger when Adeboye is gone .God owns redeem not Adeboye
But he can pray to God for direction concerning his successor. God can speak to him on what to do.
Thereishel: I think you smoke weed before you come here as you are attacking everybody. If you know me you will be surprise that i am greater than all your family generation. I am an American engineer though from Nigeria. You are a fool not to know that Hausa population is more that South combined in the army. Who tell you that these people were retired because of years they served in the military? do you see it in the write. Stop smoking weed and snuffing cocaine and i don't know the village where you reside; bloody fool as your name indicate. Waiting to pounce on you again if you reply
You are a big id*ot and you obviously feel defeated. People like you are lepers that cannot build but scatter. You still remain a dunce because if not you would have accepted the basic criterion for retirement where none was mentioned rather than fanning a crisis. Moreover just one college was a focus not the entire army. If you are not drunk, and smoked ganja tell me what the college has achieved that repositioned the NA in the world front while they were there. Well am not surprised after all you are an American slave that is a king among your daft generation. My poo.
Thereishel: Go back to primary school to learn English, there is no word like tribalise in English, is this how to spell inconsequentials or inconsequential? You cannot pluralize this word. What is tribalism here? We should raise alarm when other regions are not being treated well, it is one Nigeria. The future of generations to come should be paramount in our mind. May be you are from Boko Haram zone.
When you are quick to attack the use of English on a forum like this then you must be an id**t that has a life opportunity of going to school. Do u know under which condition I was typing or the device I was using or if my auto correct made an error. The same mistake your forefathers made Zike, Obafemi and Balewa is what you are promoting. What if there was no Hausa man that has reached the retirement age. I'm sorry for individuals like you with a primitive reasoning. You are even talking about the future when you are encouraging divisiblity where it shouldn't be. Please I beeseach you to go and work on you low self-esteem because that was what made you to quickly leave the subject and focus on English. That's a trait of a failure. Grow up Kid
Caseless: f00lish boy, u ar a ponce! Who told u they all reached d retirement age b4 they were retired?
You are a buffon. Did you see their age or was it quoted in the article or was it written in the link that they were forcefully retired. You are meant to use the basic criterion for retirement since no other factor was stated. I don't blame your reason, I blame the platform that gave opportunities for inconsequential beings like you who is not of age to misbehave
Caseless: This is how our military got weakened over-time. We spend money to build these men, only to have them disposed like chickens. At this hard times, dont we need to keep our experienced hands, if we really want to win this war? Our military needs reform.
Stop been a dunce. They said retired not sacked. So where you told that there are no brains there again?
section 68. (1) A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of which he is a member if -
Then
(g) being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected;
Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored; or
So did he defected as a result of a division in the former party? I beg make una interpret the law o as I no understand. My own understanding his from this section is that if his defection was as a result of a division in the former, his security details should be withdrawn but if not, status quo remains.
Rapmoney: That's the problem! Whenever we talk of abolishing this social menace called okada, someone just spring up to remind us that the rate of robbers and crime will increase as if these people have not been doing something before they joined the okada business; as if they were born with bikes from their mothers' wombs. If you don't observe closely, you won't notice the hazard these bikes cause on our roads. The truth is: civilized societies have all done away with bikes as means of transportation!!! Just imagine over 500 bikes on a road within a 1 kilometer pace. Isn't that madness?
Bros what were they doing before since u know them all. Do you know that many ventured in to okada becos they have nothing doing and that was what they could afford for a means of lively hood. When u want to make policy you need to consider the degree of its after effects and what the short term and long term implications are. Stop looking at the surface of the bike menance but take an holistiv look at the situation at hand
stinggy: As much as I believe okadas should be banned, my fear is 'We are not there yet'. No alternatives for now. I think there should be reliable loan scheme(at all levels of government) for youths to acquire cheap taxis so as to support livelihood since jobs aren't forthcoming, we can introduce tricycles as they are safer, but importantly, roads should be fixed.
And this is how I think this will go:
After the ban on Okada riders, a means that gives about 1.2 million people job, this FG will then provide three 48-sitter buses to each state, after this, GEJ will go on air to announce to the world that he has given 2.5 million people job... And that's what they call 'Fresh Air'
Is it about youths acquiring cheap taxis so the roads an be jam packed?. Govermnt should only implement when an eficient and flexible system is in place. I hope they are looking at the rate of joblsnss after this
toecyne: It is sometimes very annoying wen some people say Okocha is the best footballer ever, and that he is not recognized becos he is Nigerian. Some even say he is better than Ronaldinho because he benched Ronaldinho wen dinho was only 20, and was yet to adapt to european football. Y not just say giggs is also better than C.Ronaldo because he benched him wen he was new in Man United or that Guily is better than Messi because he benched messi wen messi was still very young
Yaya toure is an african nd he is leading man city, Eto was Barcelona top striker for abt 4 years and a nigerian also played for barca in the 1990s, mikel(a nigerian) was nearly thorn apart by man u and chelsea, they wanted him badly.. my point is african/nigerian or not, you would be rewarded accordingly and sought after if you are that good. Okocha is jst over hyped
What an insult to an household name. Two names have always been used to describe a football n Nigerian locality if not Maradona they say Okocha
Bull Sh*t All these small boys talking. Okocha was a great player. Put someone exactly like Okocha in Barcelona of today, Real Madrid or Arsenal, then you will know. Okocha is a play maker just like Messi, Ronaldo name it. Have you seen anyone who currently measure up to Okocha in the current Nigerian team
CFCfan: Nine political parties have formed an alliance to ensure credible elections in 2015. The parties are led by former Governor of old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, elder statesman, Dr. Tunji Brathwaite and former Minister of Finance, Chief Olu Falae.
The parties will operate as a coalition known as Credible Alternative Alliance. The parties are Fresh Democratic Party, FDP; Peoples Redemption Party, PRP; Social Democratic Party, SDP; People’s Salvation Party, PSP; Nigeria Advance Party, NAP; Change Advocacy Party, CAP; United National Party for Development, UNPD; Peoples Progressive Party, PPP, and Action Party of Nigeria, APN.
At the inauguration of the movement in Abuja, the lead promoters, Balarabe Musa and Brathwaite, appealed to Nigerians to challenge all forms of “moral bankruptcy such as corruption and violation of the constitution” by the political elite.
They said the coalition was formed to “defend and champion progressive, democratic and patriotic entities and ideals in Nigeria against reactionary tendencies of a rudderless and immensely corrupt governing system.” Represented by the Director of Research and Documentation in Citizens Arise Movement of Nigeria, Mr. Ebenezer Oyetakin, Brathwaite said because of corruption, bad governance, and lawlessness, he was losing faith in the Nigerian Project.
According to him, it was sad that over 13,500 Nigerians had been killed by insurgency, over 200 Chibok girls held in captivity by Boko Haram while unemployment was on the rise. The National Coordinator of CAA, Dr. Damian Ogbonna, said that governments at all levels were clueless about governance.
Balarabe Musa said urged Nigerians to change the bankrupt system in the polity. He said: “Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution has laid down the foundation for the welfare and security of the Nigerian people and the progressive and independent all-round development of Nigeria. Unfortunately, all governments at all levels since 1999 continued to violate this section of the constitution with impunity resulting in the present negative state of the nation and, in particular, the suffering of the people.”
He stated that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the All Progressives Congress, APC at all levels had failed, stressing that CAA would provide Nigerians a better alternative to the two parties. http://nigerianpilot.com/2015-9-parties-form-alliance/
Why use the word 'Alternative'. These guys have just declared themselves as a second fiddle to nothing. What is wrong calling themselves Credible Peoples Alliance
Okocha is a very skillfull player no doubt but is he a great player? No why because he did not amass club trophies and personal laurels.
Why did he not do so? because in spite of his outstanding skills he avoided the big teams preferring midtable clubs where he could just play regularly for good money.
That was his personal choice and I do not have anything against it.
The great players plied their trades with the biggest clubs where they win trophies and personal honours.
The way some morons reason on this forum is irritating to say the least. Displaying their inability to comprehend simple words.
19naia: If not for women taking the lead and giving birth to men, there would be no men... The women of course lead the way in all matters of proper function of humanity.. The men are just there to challenge them by making problems so things dont get boring for the women... Oh and yes the men also are slaves to do the hard labour, feed and house the women when they are laden with children to birth and raise...
If we wait on men to initiate love, then we allow opening the gate for Esu to harness the world for his kingdom of hell.... If we step aside and let women, they will find the way even if with failures and difficulty along the way but only to bring us all closer to love without laying foundations for Esu and his kingdom of hell.... I know some womem are evil ,but behind every evil woman is an abusive or manipulative man of usury..
abatically: Keshi has been keeping 95% of his squad that won the nations cup and we haven't won any game in 11. Today he made 4 changes and we already scored 2 goals. All those critisizing keshi for inviting a player from china, shame on. Y'all, that player from China is who got us our second goal.
