Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, What will it cost you to have a talk with Prof Tam David West, who has been singing that fuel is not subsidized, it is all a fraud.  Is it not wisdom to let him explain this point to you first b4 taking any action? Nigerian leaders are generally very fraudulent. If you must work with them, you must verify all they tell you or you lose credibility. You have removed what never existed. All FG should have done is to identify the currupt govt allies/bizmen/workers and deal with them. Oh no, Jonathan is so afraid to name and trash them. What a shame! You are all now punishing the masses for the sins of your currupt party financiers. SUBSIDY IS IMMAGINARY, they therefore cannot face Prof Tam David West.

Jonathan, I serve the Living God and He says that you Know the truth but so afraid to do the right thing.

Prof Tam David West has been refuting the claim that FG susidies fuel severally over the year. What beats me is that our leaders have not deemed it wise to invite the Prof to explain his views to them before taking any action. How can leaders be so fraudulent. Jonathan who has experiencd poverty should know better. Poor man in power could be worse than the rich in power. The Prof and a few others with intergrity, including Gani Fawehinmi, have not stopped telling us that fuel is not subsidised. Jonathan, what will it cost you to talk with the Prof if you are sincere? I am still wondering what kind of wisdom these leaders apply; the wisdom of a THIEF?

@Scribble, stop finding fault with others; the zeal with which you speak is enough for you to spearhead a protest. Dont point finger at anyone when you are equally doing nada. Start and then point fingers.

@Iya Ngbali, you remind me of Minister Ojo Maduekwe

@Finland, nothing stops you from heading back to 9ja to join in; Walk the Talk and become the people's hero. Anything short of this makes you an empty vessel and stop ranting from your hole in Finland.

@Amalaaba, do not sympathize with me that I ditched islam. Clearly, I am in a better position to tell you which SUITS ME better. You are not in a position to sympathize with me on my decision.You have not slept on the other bed, how do you now tell me that the bed you are lying on is better? by looks or what? I have slept on both beds and you just one! How can you rightly compare both beds or be a better judge than me in this case? Amalaaba, experience is always the best teacher. Speaking in parables, I have fearlessly slept on so many beds to tell you which gives the utmost benefit, so quit sympathizing with me for I do not sympathize with you for your choice or advise you to change.

I see thru your bitter heart; you couldn't hide it anymore. I still love you with the love of God and I will never sympathize with you for in life, everything is ''turn by turn'' and ALL powers belong to God for He alone ALLOWS, I repeat, ALLOWS us to be wherever we find ourselves. I will never jugde whatever and wherever you choose to be as long as it does not cut short the life of another. Remain blessed where you are.

Clearly, she is not in a marriage. What she saw is real; their marriage is only a facade. Wait a minute, we have a law now against homosexuals and lesbians. Let her be law abiding, lol

STOP, Hear This: As you enter 2012 determine, by praying to God to help you, to relate with God one on one, no intermediaries in your bedroom, toilet, kitchen, walking the streets, driving your car, in a club house, in the market, in your office, anywhere and everywhere!!!! God is doing a new thing, beautiful thing with those who will conciously WALK with HIM. Start by asking Him questions just like a child to his/her father. Show Him you would rather sit and hear Him talk to you than attend one more ''religious church program'' designed to enslave you. Simply become a child again b4 God this 2012. Free yourself from religion and embrace a relationship with God. He speaks and longs to have a one on one relationship with each and everyone of us but religion has blinded us. Let's help God to help us! Make that move, if you draw unto Him (remember, no intermediaries- pastors, spiritual father and mother, elders, etc just you and God), He will surely draw unto you!

It is as simple as this: Adam and Eve were in the garden of eden (meaning a state where they were constantly in His presence) where they communed with God with no inhibitions, no bibles, no church building, no pastors, to preachers, etc. God was all thes to them. They disobeyed and lost that experience of freedom. But God came in the form of man (Jesus Christ) just so we can be reconciled with Him to that first state of Adam and Eve .

Some, very few have attained that position --- they were rejected, persecuted, accused, but they remained focused. They remain quiet and ''hidden'' from the religious majority. People fear change but that will not stop God from doing new things with the ones who catch a revelation of His word. The ones who have not caught that revelation, definitely need intermediaries. Watch Out, the few are about to be displayed by God. They are the real temples, the bride called out that God means by ''church not built with hand'' They are all out of church attendance and are walking completely with God by His Spirit. Until we die and beyond, God will continue to ''do a new thing'' that ''eyes have not seen, ears have not heard neither has the mind conceived that which the Lord has prepared for them that love Him'' (love=obey) Some religious pple say if it is not in the bible, it is not God but the same bible recorded', eyes have not seen,

It just does not kill to walk this extra mile with God this 2012. Being in a relationship with God is very exciting, not boring like what I see and know that a majority of xtians are bored. Boredom makes us create programs that are devoid of God's Spirit, very fleshy programs. May the Spirit of God move your spirit as you read this and give you understanding. Choose to really be in a state where God becomes everything and He will by His spirit direct your ways. You will know He is there and you are there, no more uncertainties but so much confidence of who you are and why you are here. God speaks all the time! Hold Him this new year, LISTEN, OBEY AND TRUST HIM by Faith. Shalom.

I guess we have lost count but here are some:

  -  It is in the pipeline (meaning you'll have it if and when we decide)
  -  they are the handiwork of my detractors (meaning detractors are there to cover my tracks)
  -  we are going to set up a committee to look into the matter (meaning another opportunity to settle some political allies and let
                                                                                                 sleeping dogs lie)

  -  White Paper  (meaning document which must be put away forever in the archives)

@Amalaaba, I see you are still defending the indefensible. Let me help u. Take a piece of paper, make 2 columns, xtian terrorist and muslim terrorist and daily mark appropriately under the relevant column whenever any terorist group strikes. Be sincere and religious about it. Do not waste ur time arguing back and forth trying to correct or educate non muslims. After this exercise maybe in one week you will be convinced who to direct your educational talks.

Once again, I understand your predicament but the above will help you a lot. Calm ur nerves.

@Amalaaba, I understand your frustration. These verbal attacks on islam will not stop considering the consistent bloody killings by  these islamic groups (they are many) in Nigeria and ALL OVER THE WORLD. Check the statistics. Even children are asking if Islam is synonymous with bloodshed. It is a pity and do not blame anyone who speaks ill of islam, rather put your energy on educating your confused muslim brothers; educating their victims now is wrongly timed especially as their misbehaviour has become very very regular.

I was born in Kano, lived most of my life in different states in the north and I am now 57; I started experiencing  these killings at the early age of 12 until I relocated in 2001. The killings have still not stopped. Amalaaba, haba, think about it. Who has been the peaceful one all this while? Patience too can be exhausted if overstretched. We have prayed, fasted, relocated, loved what else now. Some of us are waiting for God to intervene!!!!! I dare say that it is very close. He who ''ERUPTS'' always does not win a battle! Anyone who sheds the blood of innocent people (it is now a hobby for these islamic groups) for any reason can never defeat the people, mark my words. It is getting hotter and the end is in sight! Their wicked moves is an embarrassment to Muslims and Islam. I love you all with the love of God and Trust Him to do what is needful SOONEST.

I confess that I was a muslim until October 1986 when I met Jesus Christ. Clearly, I saw and I am still experiencing the BIG difference. You are still loved no matter which side you are!
