This f*ckn atheist!
And this is your only grouse with him..smh. What have your so called christian or muslim folks ever done for us besides plundering our commonwealth & impoverishing us further? I'm sure in your parochial mind as with your fellow religious fanatics,you'd rather be led by a corrupt christian/muslim which is literally 90% of all religious folks anyway than an upright Atheist. It's a sorry state of affairs
PoliticsRe: Buhari, A 'Man Of Integrity', Lied Under Oath - Femi Aribisala by cold(m): 8:24pm On Jan 27, 2015
vislabraye:
I was surprised to hear Femi was also arested. I wonder what the reason was.
Let me help out here...

ON Friday, 23rd August, 1985, the military
government of Major-General Mohammadu Buhari
decided to place me under arrest. My crime was
that I wrote, among others, an article entitled:
“Counter-trading Nigeria’s Future” in the National
Concord, exposing the government’s scam of
diverting public funds into private coffers through
barter-trade with Brazil. A man by the name of
Benson Norman was sent from the State Security
Services (SSS) to my office to get me. Not finding
me, he left a note that I must present myself
unfailingly at the SSS office at 15 Awolowo Road,
Ikoyi Lagos the next Monday morning.
However, on Sunday, 25th August, 1985, Lateef
Aminu came first thing in the morning to my house
to inform me that the government of Buhari/
Idiagbon had been overthrown. For this reason, I
am fond of telling people that God brought about a
change of government in Nigeria just because of
me.
COUP PLOTTER
Under the Buhari/Idiagbon regime, once you ended
up at 15 Awolowo Road, you may never be heard of
again. Decree Number 2 of 1984 empowered Tunde
Idiagbon to arrest and detain anybody indefinitely
without trial and without legal reprieve. After Buhari
was overthrown, Mohammadu Gambo opened the
prison doors of 15 Awolowo Road on public
television, revealing people in various stages of
UnCloth and malnutrition that had been kept in the
dungeons without trial by Buhari’s hound-dogs.
As self-imposed Head of State, Buhari had no
regard for human rights. Immediately he seized
power, he announced that he would “tamper with”
the press. Soon, the infamous Decree Number 4
was promulgated which made even the publication
of the truth a punishable offence. Under this cover,
Buhari jailed innocent journalists, including Tunde
Thompson and Nduka Irabo. He abolished civil
liberties, promulgated retroactive decrees enabling
him to kill Nigerians through jungle justice,
proscribed civil society organizations and
professional groups and exercised “absolute”
power.
This same Buhari would now have us believe that
he has gone through some metamorphosis and has
become a democrat. I am sure you will forgive me
if people like me don’t believe him. Buhari is not,
has never been, and will never be, a democrat.
Only in Nigeria would a man with his track record,
who came to power through a military coup that
illegally overthrew a democratic government, now
be acclaimed as a democrat. It is on record that
Buhari’s military regime is the only one in Nigeria’s
history that failed to promulgate a programme for
return to civilian rule.
FACTS AND FICTIONS
So what exactly qualifies Buhari as a democrat
today? Precious little! There is nothing democratic
about forming and joining political parties just in
order to be the presidential candidate. Little wonder
then that Buhari’s parties have a short shelf-life.
Buhari would like to be Nigeria’s head of state
once again. He can no longer achieve this through
the barrel of a gun. The only route now open to
him is through the democratic process. That is the
reason he now conveniently fashions himself as a
democrat. It is merely a means to an end; no
more, no less.
Buhari’s reputation as an anti-corruption crusader
is also a myth. As head of state, he did not make
any dent in Nigerian corruption. All we got was a
cosmetic “war against indiscipline.” The counter-
trade scam happened under his watch. Rather than
deal with it, he sent his hound-dogs after
nonentities like me who dared to expose it. That
scam was no different, in scope and scale, from the
petroleum subsidy and other corruption scandals
that have since plagued Nigeria. The Petroleum
Trust Fund (PTF) that Buhari headed under Abacha
was also a citadel of corruption. While Buhari
himself might not have enriched himself, his
cronies and those who worked under him did so
handsomely.
On three different occasions, Buhari has run for the
presidency. On three different occasions he has
failed. That should really be enough. If, as seems
likely, he were to run for the presidency a fourth
time in 2015, there is no question that he would fail
yet again. Try as he might again and again,
Mohammadu Buhari can never be President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Buhari’s sectarianism
There is a fundamental reason behind this. Buhari
is a bad politician. He is an unbending former
military dictator and not a democratic consensus-
builder. Like his new ally, Bola Tinubu, Buhari is a
regional, sectional politician. Such politicians are
practically impossible to package and market
nationally in the ethnically-delicate Nigeria of today.

You can read the rest of the piece here. Quite lengthy,but an interesting read.

Imagine a guy inserting a condom and a woman doing the same, That sex will be so boring. lipsrsealed
'You've never done it before. But you know this for a fact'. Who says stuff like that? How can you make a categorical statement about something you know nothing about? Unless of course,you're just being a typical Nigerian hypocrite.

For the umpteenth time i have stated that surrogacy should be legalised to put these shoddy practices to rest. It is done in other countries & i see no reason why Nigeria cannot come up with a legal framework to enable this method of providing barren women with babies of their own. In a manner of speaking.

Christianity EtcRe: I’ll Punch Anyone Who Insults My Mother – Pope Francis by cold(m): 10:39am On Jan 18, 2015
An2elect2:
You just picked one passage of scripture and misunderstood it completely. The sword there is not a physical sword but the truth. The truth makes you at variance with people around you who have not the truth. And because you know the truth, you are ready to forsake all for the sake of truth. This will attract not love from the world but hate and opposition from your family members cos you chose not to follow them blindly.

Jesus also admonished us to turn the other cheek if we are hit on one. He did not contradict himself.

And yes spiritual understanding is needed because not only will it unlock "mystical truths" to you, you will begin to think soundly too.
Lol..typical Christian. Every verse is subject to your own interpretation. Which of course must be the right one.

Christianity EtcRe: I’ll Punch Anyone Who Insults My Mother – Pope Francis by cold(m): 10:12am On Jan 18, 2015
An2elect2:
Oh yeah? i almost liked this post until i saw the "...eradicate Christianity" part.

News flash: Catholics ain't Christians, the are catholics. That's what they are.

Christianity is not and has never been a violent religion. We cause trouble among men when we preach the truth cos men love the lie. We don't convert people forcefully. God forbid! If we do that then our gospel is void of power.

I can't say the same for the Muslims who worship not the true God.

The truth is that no one can make him/her self a Christian. Only God can do that.

So someone saying he is a christian doesn't make him one angry
Christianity is not a violent religion indeed. Remind me again how i'm going to need spiritual understanding to understand a verse written in plain English.

Christianity EtcRe: 8 Men Of God, Different 2015 Revelations – What Do We Believe? by cold(m): 12:23pm On Jan 15, 2015
It's exactly the same way it happened in biblical times. All the writers of the bible claim their revelations came from god or were divinely inspired. Some even claim their own version of events were written by god himself.Yet,no two books of the bible correlate. Discrepancies,innacuracies and outright falsehood are the bane of the 'holy book'.
But we are told we are of carnal minds thus,cannot understand the book. We need to ginger our swagger spiritually to enable us comprehend it fully. Anyhoo,what do i know

When you take the totally dilapidated state of the trains during the buhari regime and compare it to what obtains today,even though some might still argue it may be nothing compared to what can be found in other climes. But judging from where this administration had to start,that argument becomes invalid.
One begins to wonder what exactly do these folks define as change? Not like i really care much for Jonathan though,but buhari is no good either.
