Ok!


What do you expect in a state where fayose is the governor?

kenonze:
This is what we are aware she does,


Only she and her God knows other stuffs she did

lazy girl, this won't sound nice to you. You're just jealous and being furtive.


Her story is in public space, if anyone has something contrary to what she wrote about herself, that person should come forward. Until then, no story can be truer than this.

It's not about she can't travel to the US anymore, now it's "she travels too much".

Bujumbura:
please show me where Obama plagiarized buhari?



Also show me where he called Presinden Putin as Placenta when buhari is busy creating new countries West Germany and allocating President to them Michel

you're diverting from the real issues.

bejeiodus:
Was the speech delivered ad lib? Of course, it wasn't. The President has realized his gaffe and has apologized. What are you on about then?

you don't make it seem it's an offence that has never been committed in the history of the world. Again, if having Obama's line in buhari's speech makes him a "dullard" , what does it make Obama?

bejeiodus:
It is not an offence to use another man's word if it accurately expresses your thought. What makes it an offence is to do so without acknowledging him.

sometimes, there is something called ad lib . If it's done ad libitum , especially when you know everyone is on the same page with you, you move on - even without acknowledgement .

Paperwhite:
This the abracadabra lifestyle of zombies. Talking as if Buhari start goofing today.Whoever did it wrongly commits an offense,but your demigod own is sickening.

one of the "wealed" internet infestations who's yet to get over the defeat your IB suffered in the hands of buhari.

idupaul:
I hope you are getting paid

just like you get paid , right?

limeta:
Obama is not zoogaria president
the dullard buhari is,
Just in case you forget

no post describes someone who's intellectually arid than this.

tobechi74:
as long as obama did it, it is aceptable abi

why are you people making it to seem as if it has never been done before . If it's a crime to read someone's line in your speech, who has ever been convicted for such crime?

monkautos:
guy take it easy na, buhari plagiarized....how difficult is it for you to live with it... the man has accepted apologised and moved on.... but you just dey kill yourself over nothing

what's plagiarism in your own definition? If buhari is seen as a plagiarist today because Obama was seen in his speech , then what is Obama?

You people are the ones making a mountain out of a molehill.

Mynd44 , lalasticlala , etc, if you guys have not done anything to shut those accusing buhari of plagiarism on Obama's speech and have been abusing the president, then this thread should be moved to the right place .

In 2008, then-candidate Obama was found to have plagiarized the speeches of former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick on a number of occasions.

“I am not asking anyone to take a chance on me, I’m asking you to take a chance on your own aspirations,” Patrick said in a speech delivered in June of 2006. Obama repeated the line verbatim in a speech in South Carolina in November of 2007. In addition, Obama’s famous refrain of “just words” in a 2008 speech was lifted directly from a speech Governor Patrick delivered in October of 2006.

Obama’s speech sounded similar to a speech given by Patrick in his 2006 campaign for governor, according to the video [of the speech).

“Don’t tell me words don’t matter! ‘I have a dream.’ Just words. ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’ Just words. ‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself.’ Just words, just speeches,” Obama said in his speech.

Patrick used many of the same phrases in his speech.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’ — just words. Just words. ‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself’-just words. ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country’ — just words. ‘I have a dream’ — just words,” Patrick said in 2006.

And Mitchell Obama got her own

Michelle Obama: “…the world as it should be.” In 2008, the aspiring First Lady was accused by bloggers of lifting lines for her DNC speech from Saul Alinsky. Alinsky wrote, in Rules for Radicals (emphasis added): “The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be.” Michelle Obama said: “And Barack stood up that day, and he spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about ‘the world as it is‘ and ‘the world as it should be.’” (Perhaps Mr. Obama who left out the attribution.)

This thread is not to support plagiarism, but we should learn to apply caution when accusing people of it.

In fact , if Obama is guilty of plagiarism he won't be spared. He or his campaign team practically waved the allegations by replying, I was inspired by them , or his campaign team coming to blame the whole thing on "poor footing". This is why it didn't go down well with me that the presidency had to come out to apologize. They could have gotten a technical line of defence just as those on the other side did.

If a speech is evergreen and captures situation at hand , it's right to use it but credit should be given to the original writer.

Why not just train them to join queues?

senseless post. You want a soldier on the frontline who's fighting to protect the citizens to join queue while the city burns .

Abeymills:
Pls free dis woman all dis hypocrites locked our economy down destroying every thing shouting corruption meanwhile they ar most corrupt

I like the last picture!

cktheluckyman:
Was. Patience ever in government? Was she ever required to declare her assets

if source of your wealth cannot be traced, the constitution gives efcc the power to investigate and if you're found culpable, you'll be prosecuted.

nnachukz:
You should have asked when was it built before fuming in your mouth. If a chief of Army staff can own two different properties in Dubai and the government sees nothing wrong with that even after being accused of fraud then there is no moral in your complain here but just hypocrisy.

the chief of army staff has been in the army for close to 30 years, what's pej's job in the last 16 years? Buratai declared his assets in Dubai before he was appointed, did pej declared this being one our five former presidents?

The bible is full of simplistic statements masquerading as God-given theological doctrines. Many of them are naïve and palpably false.
Why do plagues occur? According to 2 Samuel 24, plagues occur if we conduct a census. It says God punished Israel severely with a plague because David imprudently conducted a census of the nation. Some 70,000 Israelites were killed as a result.
How do we stop a plague? Plagues can be stopped by offering a sacrifice. David stopped the plague by offering a sacrifice at the threshing floor. (2 Samuel 24:18-25).

Simplistic analysis

In 2 Chronicles 21:10, we are told the Edomites revolted against Judah’s rule because Jehoram had forsaken the Lord? But can this really be the reason why the Edomites rebelled? Did the Edomites even know or care that Jehoram had forsaken the Lord? Are there not more cogent “actual” reasons why the Edomites rebelled? Even from a theological perspective, is it not simplistic to insist bad things automatically happen in this life to those who forsake the Lord?

Let use this dogma in understanding contemporary history. Why did the terrorists attack the “twin towers” of the World Trade Centre in New York on September 11, 2001? They did because George Bush forsook the Lord. Why did they not attack a similarly prominent building in France at the time? It must be because Jacques Chirac, then president of France, did not forsake the Lord.
Surely there are more cogent social and political reasons why the terrorists attacked the twin towers in New York. Similarly, there must be more cogent reasons why the Edomites rebelled against Judah under Jehoram.

The bible’s presentation is naïve and cannot be historically accurate. Moreover, according to Jesus, it cannot be theologically accurate either. Jesus dealt with this kind of nonsense masquerading as religious dogma when he was asked if a man was blind from birth because of his sins or those of his parents. He told his disciples the presumption that bad things happen because of our sins is a fallacy. (John 9:1-3; see also Luke 13:1-5).

This means if we base our faith on some of the precepts of the bible, we can be misled. If we are not careful, the bible can easily make us superstitious. It is imperative therefore to recognise that our faith should be based on the word of Jesus. It is Jesus and not the bible that is the infallible word of God.

False doctrine

The bible says Jehoram’s sin was in marrying Ahab’s daughter; leading to the rebellion of the Edomites. (2 Kings 8:18). Therefore, we have this great biblical lesson: “A man who marries the daughter of an evil man will come to ruin.” Better still, we can create a proverb out of this: “A wise king marries the daughter of a righteous man.” “The king who marries the daughter of an evil man brings disaster upon his kingdom.” This becomes a spiritual object lesson derived from bible “history.”

But then the same bible goes to great lengths to contradict this simplistic view of history and theology. It does this most eloquently in the book of Job.

For illustration, Proverbs makes a categorical statement that the whirlwind is fashioned to destroy the wicked: “The fear of the wicked will come upon him, and the desire of the righteous will be granted. When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.” (Proverbs 10:24-25). This is presumed to be the word of God by those Christians who insist everything in the bible is true.



But this same doctrine is contradicted by the experience of righteous Job whose children were killed by a whirlwind. (Job 1:18-20). Job had been taught, like most Christians still are today, that bad things only happen to bad people. Therefore, he spends his time questioning God. He complains that he has lived a righteous life and yet is rewarded with adversity.

Moreover, Job’s friends torment him with the classical but bankrupt biblical principle that bad things don’t happen to good people. They ask: “Whoever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off?” (Job 4:7-9). Job ends up by using himself as evidence that the ways of God are mysterious and that in this world there is no watertight correlation between cause and effect. He notes that God “destroys the blameless and the wicked” (Job 9:22), and concludes that God’s providence follows no logical or discernible pattern.

Biblical self-critique

In effect, the inclusion of Job in the bible serves as a critique of the bible. It also serves as an indictment of those who hold the simplistic theological dogma that is often presented as wisdom in the Old Testament:
God offers Job no explanation for bringing adversity upon him. He simply makes him understand that his wisdom and judgment cannot be questioned by mere mortals. He asks Job: “Where were you when the foundations of the earth were laid?” “What do you know, and what do you really understand?” The solution to Job’s problem is to trust God whatever the situation or the circumstance.

The ways of God cannot be neatly programmed by the application of the wisdom tradition of Judaism prevalent in the bible. That tradition is too simplistic and dogmatic. It is not possible to understand God’s actions and inactions using such doctrines. But through faith in God and humble acceptance of his providence, God rescues Job from the hollowness of the wisdom tradition. He then descends in judgement upon his friends who used their ignorance to condemn him.
This is similar to Jesus’ admonition of the Pharisees: “If you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless” (Matthew 12:7).

Naïve proverbs
In short, we can use the bible to critique the bible without diminishing our faith. The bible is full of simplistic statements masquerading as God-given theological doctrines. Many of them are naïve and palpably false. Here is one example: “I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread.” (Psalms 37:25). But are the righteous never forsaken?

Here is a contradiction, penned also by David and validated on the cross by Jesus: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46). Jesus was righteous, nevertheless, he was forsaken on the cross.
There are a host of others in Proverbs. “The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry.” (Proverbs 10:3). This is false. “Misfortune pursues the sinner, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous.” (Proverbs 13:21). Observe that Jeremiah has a completely different point of view. He asks: “Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?” (Jeremiah 12:1).
We don’t only get these false “truisms” in the Old Testament. Paul’s epistles is also full of them. Only one example here should suffice: “God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Think about this so-called scripture for a minute. You will immediately realise it is not true as a general rule. Therefore, it cannot be the word of God.
