FamilyRe: What's The Most Annoying Experience You Had With Your Dad? by BluntBoy(m):
My dad loves cars. While I was growing up, we had many cars in our garage but my dad's favorite was one Toyota hatchback. He had a Mercedes (which I liked), a Pajero and many other nice cars of the 90s but my dad just let them rot in the garage while driving this ugly Toyota about.

While I was in boarding school, my dad once again brought this Toyota to school on visiting day. But the car paint had been scraped off in many places and my dad could not even bother to wait to have it evenly painted before jumping in and driving it to school.

Then to make matters worse, this car chose the visiting day of all days to splutter and stall. And my dad had to be begging some students and gardeners to be pushing it while he tried to restart it. After the car had started, I heard one of the gardeners saying that the car should have been offloaded into the sea a long time ago.

It was very annoying and embarrassing.

But u are d one who said they should "devise' an act 4d purpose of actualising June 12. If d act is "devised", doesn't it solve d problem?

Pls explain 2 me d meaning of mandate& d meaning of democracy since u say I don't no d meaning.

What is wrong if Nigerians expect more? Didn't Abiola give more?
According to Wiki, mandate is the authority to carry out a policy, regarded as given by the electorate to a party or candidate that wins an election

That definition partly defines democracy.

We gave Buhari a mandate in 2019. We didn't give it to Kingibe or MKO. However, we are happy that Buhari has used his mandate to right a wrong.

In a democracy, government is installed through voting. You can't ask an elected president in 2019 to step down for a man whose own mandate was stolen in 1993.

Buhari did what the likes of Obasanjo and GEJ did not do. June 12 is symbolic of democratic struggles in Nigeria. I believe that moving the date to June 12 is noble enough.

How will it affect d senate president? Did d president, VP & senate contest as a unit?
You want Buhari to step down for Kingibe. By suggesting that, you have shown that you don't understand the meaning of mandate. Or even of democracy.

As for devising an act, that would be an NASS palaver as only the NASS can enact an Act.

As for Buhari, he has done what he can and should be appreciated. Anyone expecting more needs to have their heads examined.

That was how they changed University of Ife to OAU and localised Obafemi Awolowo and wasted money on rebranding. At least, Obasanjo was more sensible by putting Awolowo on our currency.

If it isn't his duty 2 recognise, then y all d hullabaloo that obj, GEJ& yar'adua didn't do same? Y all d noise?

If he recognises June 12 as democracy day that means he acknowledges that a mandate was truncated. And so what is wrong if that mandate is actualised? Is it a bad thing? Wouldn't that b good considering d sacrifice made by Abiola 4d actualisation of d mandate? Whats wrong with that?

As noble as u say it is, wouldn't it b more noble to use d power he used in recognising June 12 to actualise it? That will b a good thing. Is there anything too much that can't b sacrificed 4 our democracy?
I might have to teach you the ABC next.

The mandate gave Buhari a lot of executive powers. He has used one to good use.

It is not constitutional for him to dash his own hard earned mandate to another.

MKO's mandate of 1993 is different from Buhari's mandate of 2019.

According to you, Buhari should actualize June 12 by stepping down. That would mean retiring his own VP and retiring the next in position, the Senate President. This is bigger than Buhari.

The highest that could be done (if MKO were alive) is 2023, not creating a disruption in another person's mandate.

Once again, all these ur analogies are way off mark. Has buhari offered Abiola or Kingibe a lift? I thought u said buharis mandate is different from Abiolas mandate? Who is now lifting who? What is June 12 actually about?

It's even ironical that u mentioned Shagari cos d guy who truncated his govt, jailed him& other 2nd republic politicians is d one who u say is trying 2 right d wrong done 2 June 12 grin cheesy grin cheesy isn't this pure comedy?

Pls in what way did buhari actualise d transition from military rule to civilian rule? Are we rewriting history here?

I don't remember telling u that buharis mandate is d same with d June 12 so am not sure where u came up with that.

If June 12 wasn't annulled, it might not have been our democracy day. Democracy day was introduced by OBJ in 1999& was recognised as d inauguration day& not d day of election. It wasn't a norm as we didn't have that in d 2nd republic. whether Abiola would have instituted democracy day is something u&I can't say 4 sure.

Now u say no mandate disrupted June 12 but at d same time u acknowledge that a mandate was given on June 12 1993. Now if other mandates after 1993 have been actualised, what's d implication of that on d June 12 mandate?
This is so frustrating.

Bro, open your head na. Haba grin

Buhari recognized June 12 as Democracy Day and you expect him to step down.

It was not his duty to officially recognize June 12 just as it is not my duty to give someone a lift.

Buhari has done a noble deed and you are expecting him to give up his own mandate which gave him the power to recognize June 12.

How was Mandela compensated? I don't need 2 read anything. Since u have read it am sure u can share a bit of d information u read as part of d discussion. Like I asked u earlier, are u aware that it was proposed 2 Abiola that 4d sake of his freedom that he abandoned June 12? Are u also aware that he turned it down? Are u aware that it was proposed 2 him that he could get another mandate? Are u also aware that he turned it down?

If June 12 will disturb other people's mandate, have other people's mandate not disrupted June 12? What is another 4years that buhari can't sacrifice 4d actualisation of June 12 when Abiola sacrificed his life, his businesses, access 2 his kids& lost his wife just so that buhari & others could enjoy democracy?

Buhari brought up this June 12 thing last year b4 d elections. There was enough time 4 him 2do what u suggested by sponsoring a bill that will enable d actualisation of June 12
No mandate disrupted June 12. June 12 was merely an election day whose result was annulled. If the election had not been annulled, that would have been our Democracy Day.

Buhari has actualised that transition from Military to Civilian rule and has done the needful.

Buhari's mandate is different from MKO's. Don't be so petty as to expect Buhari to step down for MKO.

This is like expecting Shehu Shagari to step down for Nnamdi Azikwe simply because Azikwe's government was interrupted in 1966.

Or better still, this is like offering someone a lift and then handing your car over to him. That is stupid.

Are u aware that Abiola was asked 2 drop his June 12 mandate 4 his freedom & was offered another opportunity 2 seek another mandate?
Mandela was compensated.


Before arguing further, go and read further on the act that elected him president.

The same could have been done if MKO was alive. An act could be devised to stop anyone from contesting against MKO in 2023 and in that way, his mandate would be returned.

Returning MKO's mandate doesn't have to disrupt another person's mandate.

Many people abuse children as well. We place too much emphasis on spousal abuse that we forget that house helps and children are abused everyday.

Anyone who abuses people is no better simply because he has never abused a woman. By rough stats (my stat), women abuse house helps (especially female house helps) more.

Recognizing June 12 as Democracy Day is not an act to retrieve the stolen mandate of MKO.

If MKO were alive today, he might be compensated with the presidency. Just like Mandela was.

Buhari will not step down for him because it is a foolish thing to do. Rather, he would likely be compensated with the 2023 presidential election.

Since u say buhari is righting d wrong, how is my comment about buhari stepping down 4 kingibe different from righting d wrong? If he steps down for kingibe isn't that part of righting d wrong?
Buhari's government is legitimate. Stepping down is not a part of righting a wrong. Because Buhari's government is not a wrong until proven otherwise.

As far as things stand presently, Buhari cannot right a wrong by stepping down for Kingibe. We gave him our mandate. We didn't give him so that he can dash someone else.

Has everything else stood still since 2015? There has been tax holidays in the mining sector as well as opening up rice and other products to more investors. Rice farmers in many Northern states are becoming wealthy and the government is patronizing them in its feeding programs.

Wrong! Zachaeus though short in stature and thus better able to squeeze through the crowd to access Jesus had to climb a tree to do so! Folks had to remove the roof of a house to access Jesus to get for their person. Bartimaeus had to scream himself silly shouting the cognomen of Jesus to access Him and even at that was told to shut up but he wouldn’t until he got the attention of Jesus who stood still to attend to him. I could go on and on. The real reason Jesus would usually tell recipients of the miracles he performed to not noise it about is to avoid being mobbed by the crowd ever seeking a miracle. Want contemporary stuff? Recently at Akure a Christian lady prayed for some crippled fellow and leper who received healing instantaneously. But for Akure Chiefs who rushed her to their residence close by the Deji of Akure Palace where the incident happened she would have been mobbed. FYI the crowd insisted on seeing her so she could pray for them threatening to pull down the house where she was. The police had to be called in to take her away. That’s the way it goes! You do not take your personal safety lightly just so you won’t get criticised!
Can shouting hard alone get you access to Trump?

Of course not. That they had to shout before getting access does not mean that accessing Him was itself hard.

If you argue that it was hard to access Jesus, then how come it is now so easy to access Him? What changed?

Do you remember when Children came to see Jesus? Who stopped them from getting to Jesus? His Apostles or the Pharisees?

Luke 18:38-40 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

Jesus commanded that he be brought. Could the blind man access Jesus without Him asking for him to be brought?

Matthew 15:22-26 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

Did Jesus just call a woman 'a dog?'.

Just imagine Oyedepo doing this, what will you say?
He had no protocols. Anyone who was unable to see Christ was not because of protocols or bodyguards but because there was a crowd of others wanting to see Him.
Who stopped the Children from accessing Jesus?

And, Oyedepo is just sitting there idle with no crowd waiting to see Him yet he wouldn't attend to people abi?


You can see Jesus or bring your sick to Him and you would see Him easily if He was by Himself or with just His disciples. For example, the blind man at Bathsaida.
Scripture pls? Maybe you shd be told that Oyedepo ministers to people personally too.

But you can't just see Oyedepo without booking appointments. In fact, you can't see Oyedepo on the street and approach him without getting manhandled.

Christianity has turned into a joke.

Many have testified of running into him, they called out he stops his car, attends to them and they come to testify as they receive their encounter. I have heard many such Testimonies.

And Christianity is a joke to anyone who is standing outside and looking into the Church. You are like a man looking through a glass, your vision is vague.
