The Leadership we can trust. Sai Buhari.

Someone who asked why the Christians are worried about sharia. He said is it their legs and hands that are being cut?

Meanwhile full fledged Muslim nations have banished sharia in order to be strong. Just go to Turkey, arguably the middle east's strongest muslim country now, and preach in a public place how sharia must be implemented and see what will happen to you.

Same for Indonesia an asian Muslim country.

the Turkish government killed lots of its citizens to be able to stamp out criminal sharia. the only countries in the middle east where sharia rears its head up have problems. They are Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Yemen.

That is the case with sharia internationally and some less informed president wannabe in Nigeria ventures to make such unintelligent statements in support of Sharia in our country? I say he is unintelligent.

WisdomFlakes:
GEJ, why were you scared to face Buhari at the polls on Febhari 14th GEJ till May 2015.

It is indeed a disgrace that the folks clamouring to change the terrible way in which things are currently run, will completely run away from any opportunity to tell us how they want to make things better and to show how their grasp and command of issues are superior to that of the current government.

mulante:
We have a presidential candidate and his supporters who can never understand all what you have explained here, no matter how hard you try to educate them. Sorry I derailed your thread.

The answer to your question points to the crusader who believes that technology, not brooms, is the only tool to sweep out corruption.

[size=14pt]You know when people criticized him for citing technology as a tool for fighting corruption, it was sad to me because I had to now look at some people I had considered intelligent before as not-so-intelligent.

After looking at it critically, billions of naira were apparently saved both with fertilizer distribution and by eliminating 40,000 ghost workers. Do you know how much that translates to every month? And eventually every year?

One of the greatest tragedies on earth in my view is how ignorance has struck a successful marriage with confidence within our country (as typified by the widespread confident criticism of our president when he pointed to something as profound as the practicality of the use of technology in fighting corruption.[/size]

[size=14pt]The funny thing is that we jumped into the fray of criticism when the irrefutable facts and figures lay before our very eyes to see. It had long gone beyond theory and had been completely implemented in those two areas with complete success.

If we love out country, we should be looking at ways to further implement this approach to other areas of our economy (and especially the executive arm of the government)

But it would seem to me that the truth of the matter is that Goodluck Jonathan is to intellectually advanced for the mass of dumbos whose brains seem constantly under the influence of the stupor that comes from being drunk on ignorance.[/size]

Creativity is always needed in election media battles such as this one and it has been shown on both sides of the divide in the course of this campaign.
However the #MatchBuhari hash tag photos are a new twist and I really like this particular one.

sorry is that an achievement? Let me show his achievements,he siphoned nigerians 20billion$,subsidy scam,encourages thugery and militancy,imagine the life the likes of asari and tompolo live....postponed election which is very bad for our reputation in d world..my friend if u have nothing worthwhile doing,sleep or rather give ur phone to a more sensible person

[size=13pt]By all means, I only asked who implemented the IPPIS.
Sorry if it dreads you to mention his name. But I am sure his name has echoed several times in your heart as you read this post[/size]

mulante:
Nigerians don't care about that sort of thing. What they want to see is someone like Tinubu thrown in jail by Buhari for calling him a geriatric.

I only asked who did implemented the IPPIS.

Anyway, about seeing Tinubu thrown in jail, why don't we face the realities of the fact that presidents just cant throw people in jail because it is deliberately fashioned into democracy, a presidency that cannot have such absolute powers. It is a handicap situation where he must depend on the legislature to enforce the law. He already had to rely on the legislature to have the law passed.

Remember how James Ibori was acquitted of all the charges leveled against him (here in Nigeria) but pleaded guilty, of his own accord, to all of the same charges leveled against him in a British court because he did not want to have a heavier sentence for wasting the court's time.

I can confidently tell you that no Nigerian president may be able to put Tinubu in Jail except Nigerians themselves (the judiciary, more specifically) become less corrupt.

[size=15pt] It is safe to say Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is behind the Boko Harram insurgency in #Nigeria by refusing to deal with terrorism until election . [/size]

www.nairaland.com/attachments/1971434_votepdp_jpeg311e13148f0eb4e296cd42e14ce74b9f

That the original instigators of Bokoharam did not take into account that it may prevent those 4 states from participating in the polls does not mean that it is Goodluck who sponsored them.

We however definitely cannot say that the PDP and the presidency (and indeed everyone at this stage) have not recognized that they have provided a political card of some sorts to the PDP by putting their own territory in chaos.

From the time it was implemented till now, does anyone know the total amount of money that has been saved?

[size=13pt]Does anyone know WHO IMPLEMENTED THE INTEGRATED PAYROLL AND PERSONNEL INFORMATION SYSTEM (IPPIS), ELIMINATING 40,000 GHOST WORKERS[/size]

lucrownt:
I shall not lie, one old man told me the story of Buhari/Idiagbon regime I felt like crying for this present state of Nigeria. He said that there were high level of corruption, inflation etc before Buhari's Coup. But some months after the take over, everything became normal. Though, it was unfavorable to some elites because it blocked their gates of unclean wealth. I must confess to you that we Nigerians we hate truthfulness. May Almighty God give us the heart of being just. Click Like if you believe that Truth will surely prevail over calumny.
God Bless You
God Bless Nigeria.

In a democracy, there is such a thing of separation of powers. The kinds of decisions made by military leaders (including Buhari) in the past cannot be made now, because power is now shared between the legislature and the judiciary.

For laws to be made, the legislative arm has to cooperate.

For these laws to be enforced, the judicial arm has to be up, doing and cooperative.

It is already technically impossible for Buhari to be the way he was in 1985 even if he is still as straight forward as he is perceived to have been then.

But frolicking with Amaechi, a known fraudulent figure in Nigerian politics lays to rest any doubts that the anti-corruption mantra of the Buhari team is only a joke (that insults our senses).

I cannot say it's a lie. I think the onions falls on us to investigate the authenticity (or otherwise) of the report.
But I am inclined to believe it is true considering the other things He (Buhari) has been caught saying.
For eg in the video below. He should not at all have said what he said:

I also believe he was in a way trying to say he was only doing his duty during the war, but as usual, ends up spilling more words than necessary and giving more insight into his true nature than is good for his political ambitions.

Keep spreading fake and unreasonable propaganda.

[size=13pt]How can we say this is fake?

Just search for "I will Kill more Igbos" on Google and see if sources won't pop up. As for me, I saw it, it looked true to me so I posted it[/size]

Maj Gen Muhammadu Buhari has dropped the
bombshell, on the reason he has been losing election in
Igboland and parts of Nigeria where Igbos are residing,
stating that it is because he was involved in the
Nigerian civil war. …
The former dictator speaking today on BBC Hausa
services monitored in kaduna, said with regrets that,
“the igbos hate him for what happened during the
Biafran war”. “I don’t have any regret, and at such do
not owe any apology to them, infact if there is a repeat
of the civil war again, I will kill more Igbos to save the
country”.
The APC presidential candidate, added that this was the
reason they never bothered to vote for him anywhere in
Nigeria.

Saying gej is better than Buhari is blasphemy.

If gej died and resurrect he would never be a better leader than buhari.


Gej knows nothing about being a leader.
Compare gej to local government counselors.

[size=13pt]Who said he would stabilize oil price if he became president?[/size]

[size=13pt]Yea. Sanusi was guilty in my view like most other Nigerians, of pilfering.
He couldn't resist and couldn't bear the foreseen exposure.
Finally couldn't bear the prospects of being publicly tried.

That is why he fought so hard to become an Emir (so he would have immunity).
And Kwankwaso helped him. Another reason why it is just a joke when APC pretend to be an anti-corruption bunch.

Before he became Emir, how can we reconcile Sanusi's public outcry/demand for the missing $20b to be investigated with his dogged fight in the courts not to be investigated himself?

Babalegba:
you are a liar, they were not killed by our troops but by Chadian or Cameroonian troops. Soldiers of corrupt nations do not fight well. Learn to read non fiction books and watch documentaries well instead of the frivolities you have involved yourself in. Stop selling your birthright for Jonathan s pottage. Your children will love you for it.

They were killed by the joint efforts of Chadian and Nigerian forces.
So say all the reports (from both local and international media)

He is walking about with a hole in the back of his trousers, with an air of confident purpose with which to pretend he never made a fool of himself and steal from us.

To Lord it over us when he knows we all know he is just a criminal who's embraced self delusion.

I watched this documentary years ago but what saddens me is the gulf of space between the actual dynamics of things and the perception the Nigerian populace has. I can imagine the sensations of warm pleasure they feel anytime they see us and remember our ignorance

Someone who was Odili's right hand man when Odili was doing all he was doing in government.

And we all agree, Odili did some very terrible things

I see God's hand against Amaechi's grand fraudulence.

When he is extremely corrupt himself. What is he talking?

kITATITA:
She's fantastic. Sometimes she plays the devil's advocate which is good. She can only be matched by Stella Dean; wherever she is now.

Well, I choose to take my words back because I saw her perform brilliantly afterwards. I caught her in a bad moment not being able to stick with clear thought/logic that the discussion flow required at the moment.

And who is Stalla Dean?

I do not think Maupe is fantastic. For me, the bar is really high. Anything not as good as Piers Morgan/Amanpour isn't fantastic to me

Her logic flow is void of logic

Answer: The Roman Catholic Church contends that its origin is the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ in approximately AD 30. The Catholic Church proclaims itself to be the church that Jesus Christ died for, the church that was established and built by the apostles. Is that the true origin of the Catholic Church? On the contrary. Even a cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the Catholic Church does not have its origin in the teachings of Jesus or His apostles. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the papacy, worship/adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix), petitioning saints in heaven for their prayers, apostolic succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture. So, if the origin of the Catholic Church is not in the teachings of Jesus and His apostles, as recorded in the New Testament, what is the true origin of the Catholic Church?

For the first 280 years of Christian history, Christianity was banned by the Roman Empire, and Christians were terribly persecuted. This changed after the “conversion” of the Roman Emperor Constantine. Constantine provided religious toleration with the Edict of Milan in AD 313, effectively lifting the ban on Christianity. Later, in AD 325, Constantine called the Council of Nicea in an attempt to unify Christianity. Constantine envisioned Christianity as a religion that could unite the Roman Empire, which at that time was beginning to fragment and divide. While this may have seemed to be a positive development for the Christian church, the results were anything but positive. Just as Constantine refused to fully embrace the Christian faith, but continued many of his pagan beliefs and practices, so the Christian church that Constantine promoted was a mixture of true Christianity and Roman paganism.

Constantine found that, with the Roman Empire being so vast, expansive, and diverse, not everyone would agree to forsake his or her religious beliefs to embrace Christianity. So, Constantine allowed, and even promoted, the “Christianization” of pagan beliefs. Completely pagan and utterly unbiblical beliefs were given new “Christian” identities. Some clear examples of this are as follows:

(1) The Cult of Isis, an Egyptian mother-goddess religion, was absorbed into Christianity by replacing Isis with Mary. Many of the titles that were used for Isis, such as “Queen of Heaven,” “Mother of God,” and theotokos (“God-bearer”) were attached to Mary. Mary was given an exalted role in the Christian faith, far beyond what the Bible ascribes to her, in order to attract Isis worshippers to a faith they would not otherwise embrace. Many temples to Isis were, in fact, converted into temples dedicated to Mary. The first clear hints of Catholic Mariology occur in the writings of Origen, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, which happened to be the focal point of Isis worship.

(2) Mithraism was a religion in the Roman Empire in the 1st through 5th centuries AD. It was very popular among the Romans, especially among Roman soldiers, and was possibly the religion of several Roman emperors. While Mithraism was never given “official” status in the Roman Empire, it was the de facto official religion until Constantine and succeeding Roman emperors replaced Mithraism with Christianity. One of the key features of Mithraism was a sacrificial meal, which involved eating the flesh and drinking the blood of a bull. Mithras, the god of Mithraism, was “present” in the flesh and blood of the bull, and when consumed, granted salvation to those who partook of the sacrificial meal (this is known as theophagy, the eating of one’s god). Mithraism also had seven “sacraments,” making the similarities between Mithraism and Roman Catholicism too many to ignore. Church leaders after Constantine found an easy substitute for the sacrificial meal of Mithraism in the concept of the Lord’s Supper/Christian communion. Even before Constantine, some early Christians had begun to attach mysticism to the Lord’s Supper, rejecting the biblical concept of a simple and worshipful remembrance of Christ’s death and shed blood. The Romanization of the Lord’s Supper made the transition to a sacrificial consumption of Jesus Christ, now known as the Catholic Mass/Eucharist, complete.

(3) Most Roman emperors (and citizens) were henotheists. A henotheist is one who believes in the existence of many gods, but focuses primarily on one particular god or considers one particular god supreme over the other gods. For example, the Roman god Jupiter was supreme over the Roman pantheon of gods. Roman sailors were often worshippers of Neptune, the god of the oceans. When the Catholic Church absorbed Roman paganism, it simply replaced the pantheon of gods with the saints. Just as the Roman pantheon of gods had a god of love, a god of peace, a god of war, a god of strength, a god of wisdom, etc., so the Catholic Church has a saint who is “in charge” over each of these, and many other categories. Just as many Roman cities had a god specific to the city, so the Catholic Church provided “patron saints” for the cities.

(4) The supremacy of the Roman bishop (the papacy) was created with the support of the Roman emperors. With the city of Rome being the center of government for the Roman Empire, and with the Roman emperors living in Rome, the city of Rome rose to prominence in all facets of life. Constantine and his successors gave their support to the bishop of Rome as the supreme ruler of the church. Of course, it is best for the unity of the Roman Empire that the government and state religion be centralized. While most other bishops (and Christians) resisted the idea of the Roman bishop being supreme, the Roman bishop eventually rose to supremacy, due to the power and influence of the Roman emperors. When the Roman Empire collapsed, the popes took on the title that had previously belonged to the Roman emperors—Pontifex Maximus.

Many more examples could be given. These four should suffice in demonstrating the origin of the Catholic Church. Of course, the Roman Catholic Church denies the pagan origin of its beliefs and practices. The Catholic Church disguises its pagan beliefs under layers of complicated theology and “church tradition.” Recognizing that many of its beliefs and practices are utterly foreign to Scripture, the Catholic Church is forced to deny the authority and sufficiency of Scripture.

The origin of the Catholic Church is the tragic compromise of Christianity with the pagan religions that surrounded it. Instead of proclaiming the gospel and converting the pagans, the Catholic Church “Christianized” the pagan religions, and “paganized” Christianity. By blurring the differences and erasing the distinctions, yes, the Catholic Church made itself attractive to the people of the Roman Empire. One result was the Catholic Church becoming the supreme religion in the Roman world for centuries. However, another result was the most dominant form of Christianity apostatizing from the true gospel of Jesus Christ and the true proclamation of God’s Word.

“For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” Second Timothy 4:3–4
