Complete balderash
With all the other tribes
That have ruled Nigeria
How has the country fared?


Is it developed ?
Is it richer ?
Is it advanced technologically?
Are the citizens better off?


The black man should go and sought himself out
Compare this nation with countries
Like Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea that we were at same level back then

Is there any basis for comparison

Nigerians should leave the igbo man alone
There is absolutely no sense of direction
In this clime

Population is bursting to the seams
There is no tangible plan at hand
A younger generation is coming up


The leaders should continue
Clock is ticking
Better find a dark goat
While it is still daylight

favour32:
Thanks!
90% of men wey do am hear am.
If you be young man,you wan do am, make you consider the odd wella.E nor bad to train person wife but think about the odd.

That's how one man sent his wife and children to Canada and was working in Nigeria and sending them money. Will visit a couple of times in a year


Do you know this woman later started sleeping with another Nigerian man over there

The man's friends didn't know how to tell him
But later told him
When found out
The woman filled for divorce
And blocked the husband
It was really terrible

There are somethings one should be careful and wise doing

A lot of men has been burnt
Especially those nice/good men that really cared for there spouses

onespecial:
Please I am interested in this. What are the supernatural responsible for moving forward doing ? Or they have chosen to reside in other areas while the evil ones reside with us in this part of the world ? Do we still have hope or it is all lost already ?

Bro it's not an easy battle here honestly
There is still hope in God.
Just that you need patience, humility and obedience to break through
If you don't quit, give up or throw in the towel when the going gets tough

Moreover
Life itself ain't easy gan
At all
You just have to keep on
Pushing it

hajimosho:

You can start campaigning for Atiku now rather than discussing politics generally.

There is no where Nigerias constitution talked about zoning.

After obj did 8 years yaradua took over and died within his tenure
During 2011 elections
Jonathan ran and won despite south had already ruled 8 years previously

A credible candidate from north eastern can lay claim to the 2023 presidential election, even within Apc people like governor zulum, present senate president are likely potentials


Anything is possible in Nigerias politics

I aint God that knows the future
2023 will surely come
And we will see

hajimosho:

Realistically, none of those you mentioned stand a chance of being the President in 2023, discussing about them is an effort in futility.

It's either ABAT or Osinbajo. If you look carefully how PYO took control (especially the sack of DSS boss, Lawal Daura who is Buhari's ally) during his reign as acting president, you would definitely be convinced that he won't be a pushover if he is in charge and not deputizing.

Asiwaju's case is completely different and settled. He wasn't boxed as a Governor, who will when he becomes the President ?




Since both of you have agreed they were not able to control OBJ, let's move on to the next issue.

• OUK is being monitored, he has no political base in APC to cause an uproar. He was roundly stepped aside from contesting the Senate President and Deputy Senate President in 2019 by Oshiomole. A script well written by Asiwaju.
Let me reserve how he will be kept in check when the 2023 APC primary election draws near.

• On relinquishing power by the North, strategies are already in place. The same chorus Atiku and northerners sang to deny OBJ third term in office will be sung in 2023 to deny the North a third term. Let's keep this as a secret.

Is oshiomole still APC chairman? To checkmate orji uzor?

CPC turks have hijacked Apc

The third term issue ain't same with this one. Then obj wanted to completely go against the constitution. So it's a different scenario

This one is not enshrined anywhere in the constitution

Moreover North east have not had a shot at the presidency so they have a chance and a debatable issue.

hajimosho:

Were they able to control OBJ?
Emphatic No.

Did they had a say when OBJ single-handedly appointed Yaradua/Jonathan over the Northern choice in 2007, which Yaradua, himself accepted he was rigged into office?

Do you think the Northerners had a say during the first APC presidential primary election which happened in Lagos where Asiwaju mastermind Buhari's win over Atiku (who has been his friend for more than 20 years)?

If Asiwaju had supported Atiku in Lagos, he would have been the APC flagbearer.

During the first term of PMB/PYO, a lot of northerners tagged his government for favouring Yoruba due to how we had our way in appointments and infrastructural projects.

• You still have a lot to learn by the way

True they were not in control since obj time, but you guys brought them into relevance again in 2015.

And you think they will want to relinquish that again after seeing what happened to them since obj period?

People like uzor Kalu are playing out a well written, orchestrated script.

Just watch out

OyinO:
Complete rubbish.
How many married people cheat on a daily basis because of it? Even David who was termed a Man after "God's own " Heart" was guilty of this. How many marriages have crashed because of this syndrome? So many married people stopped enjoying sex because they don't see anything sexually fascinating and interesting in their partner. How is sex between two consenting adults a sin? Who did the Angel Man pay bride price before fkking Mary at the Carpenter's backyard?

You can call it balderish
But a sign that someone is lost
Is he commits sin
And feels no remorse
In fact
That's is a sign
That the individual
Is not
Saved

That soul is lost
And God forbid
If he dies
In his sinful state
He will not enter God's kingdom


Man is a spirit
Has a soul
And lives in a body

Your body is not you
Your body
Is more your earth suit
Your body
Gives you access to the earth

The day a human being dies
His spirit the real him leaves his body
Then decays and turns to dust
From which God made the body
But the real him
The spirit
Goes back to God

That's why the new testament bible
Always talked about
The old man
Which is the unregenerated
Sinful man
In Roman's 6 vs 1 to end emphasis
Verse 6 our Oldman was crucified
With Jesus
And in Christs resurrection
Our new man
The Borg again
Recreated human spirit
Resurrected with Christ
So we should not serve sin
Or let sin reign
In our mortal bodies
In Ephesians 5 vs 5
St Paul writing sajd
No who're monger
No unclean person
No covetous, an idolater
Has a place in God's kingdom



People want
They can live anyways
They want
But God's standard
Is there
Flee fornication
Flee sin
Because eternity is calling
All humans
There is a heaven to gain
And there is a hell to miss and avoid

ZINIBANKS:
That's why some girls don't like to give guys sex quickly they know when you're done with the whole magic they will look like shit to you
Have experience it before
And funniest thing is she's very pretty brown skin with very good shape
Even when we are through with the whole magic
To escort her to bus- stop became a very big problem for me
Was like so na me fuçk this girl,abi I drink búrúkútù nii
To be frank she became very irritating to me
But I didn't show it in my reaction
Married couples won't have this feelings cause they go through the legal route

It's because you are committing sin
Your spirit man the real you
Ain't happy with you

That's one reason
I stopped premarital Sex
As a single man
The emptiness after it

But if you neglect
The promptings
A point will come
Your spirit won't check you again

In this state
You are lost
You do not belong to God
Your conscience has been corrupted
You commit sin
And you don't feel remorse
You are far away from God
And God forbid
If you die at that moment
You are a candidate for
Eternal separation and damnation




Married couple don't have this problem
Because marriage sex
It's really really recreating renewing
Energy they share between themselves

Righteousness89:
In as much as it looks like a Fairy tale , I Have Seen an Learnt in life that the Ways of God are not the Ways of Men.

I Have Seen People who had nothing, Sacked and Confused but one Connection from God Catapulted them to Positions and Appointments ..

God Has always used the things that sound and look Foolish to Confront the so Called Wise of the Earth, That No Man will GLORY in Himself..

GOD Almighty is the Qualifier of the Unqualified..

GEJ was a Simple Lecturer in Uniport before He was brought into Politics during the Military reign of Navy Captain Olubolade as MILAD of Bayelsa state.

GEJ became Governor and President without Him being the Primary person being Elected

President Donald Trump was seen more as a Comedian! All those who felt they know swore that He will never and can never be President..
Watch here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G87UXIH8Lzo
Today He is the President of the USA.

A Man that Bows before God Can Reach any Height!

Listen! If you wanna See God's Grace on your Life , Make yourself available to God and be Foolish to the World..

God Can Lift anybody at anytime and any where!

You can say that again
It's only someone that has not seen grace will laugh at this


Who would ever have believed in 2003 that Muhammadu Buhari will be the one in seat as Nigerias president today

See
The pauper, miserable fellow
You may deride or laugh at today
May be king, extremely wealthy or in high position in 5 to 10 years time


Humans are very funny
Never look down on anyone whatsoever
Cause you don't know tomorrow




I remember a story was told
About pastor Chris Oyakhilome
When he was still an undergraduate in the university early 1980s as a student pastor


He will bring out a world map
And tell his room mates
That he will preach around the globe
His room mates will look at him
With his tattered shoes
And laugh him to foolishness
Saying he was having malaria fever dream


It was those his room mates
Where later confessing
After he had become a big global pastor
That he always said all those things then
And they laughed at his foolishness

Sonoyom:
Man Utd has signed VAR for next season.

Abeg make una no finish person with laughter

Okay, thanks.

Yoruba and Igbo are kinsmen in culture.

I don't know why we are always antagonistic to each other.

Mek God please end our fight ooo, especially on social media.

Amen!!!!

SegFault:
That's just erotic love that can die off. Forget those romance movies, it can die off, though the sexual attraction eventually dies off, the love can still remain which is just as normal as the one you have for your parents or kids.

Erotic love ain't deep
That's why we have many divorced homes
Because it's based on Eros
But couples that's got the real love
Between them
Overcomes storms related with being in love
And stay on together for decades

True love ain't easy
You must eschew selfishness, pride impatience and many other bad character to attain it
Of which the average human can't do
It's work

SegFault:
Abegii, so you don't love your parents?

Context of discussion is between man and a woman
That's where most humans emphasize o n love or being loved

Propsvilla:
Why Won't you die without her when she is giving it to you back to back
Should we call this one love or lust?

This ain't love
This is lust
Love is very very deep
Only few humans understand, know or have experienced what love is

Many things people call love
Is shallow, ephemeral
No depth
Love is depth
And love never fails
Never

My elders have been saying such before I was born

Chinua Achebe quoted it in one of his books

2018PROFSUNDAY:
One question that needs one million answer why is it that Nigerians living in diaspora are performing BETTER than the people in Nigeria

because in diaspora there are already structures and systems already in place
More like good foundation
So immigrants can easily build and add value to the existing foundation

And the countries that have these structures best are the western Caucasian countries
They have the best living standard
The world has ever known
That's why they are attracting the best of skilled immigrants to there nations
Which ensures that there future remains bright


In spite what countries in other parts of the world does
The Caucasian nations will still be ahead for the next 200 years to come
Because they understand human rights, rule of law and respect for the dignity of man



But Nigeria is a different case
And unless change comes
Younger generations are coming up
Challenging the status quo
The seams will no longer hold

The best thing Nigeria to ensure a real visionary uniting leader is elected in the near future maximum next ten years
If not nature will take its course

hibeebeeking:
Pastor Chris knew what he was saying, it only he can not expatiate further in this context. Take it or leave it . In the spiritual realms,he may be right and our inner control the outer. There are more to this topic he is trying to open.

True the man has a point
That's why there is no successful black nation on Earth
Always at the periphery of life
Look at Nigeria for example

We must change some narratives seriously
So that our children
Are not bequeathed this legacy of absurdity
God forbid bad thing

WandaMaximoff:
I'm just tired of the endless whining of people about their spouses on this forum. It's like they are not even willing to put in any work in their marriage or someone told them marriage is cold stone and Dominoes.

People should be given a psych eval before they are allowed to marry, honestly.

My G O in church some Sundays ago raised alarm about intolerance in most marriages now.

People not up to 3 months in marriage talking about divorce. One guy because the wife can't cook is contemplating divorce, in fact has packed out of his home

It was actually very funny

afilaka:
Believe me,except yoa ready for marriage,this would irritate you as a man. Men love to go after Hard-to-get ladies.

Story story
Keep on deceiving yourself
Hard to get ladies story

A woman that loves a man will take a bullet for him
The worst mistake a man will make
Is going for all these so called hard to get ladies
It's a waste of time and energy
Time he will use to better himself economically

Going for a woman that loves you is bliss and peace
They are the ones that build a peaceful home

All these stories
You hear my wife is denying me sex
Comes from men that married all those hard to get ladies

And I am talking from experience
Any man pursuing hard to get woman
Is setting himself up for future pains


Men better get sense

A woman that truly loves you
And you love her back in multiple times
She will drown your life with love

Rather than being focused on the longer-term promotion of the happiness of the greatest number, they are, like their precursors in the age of slavery, overwhelmed by the ‘Esau Spirit’ of wanting something ephemeral at the expense of something long-lasting. Unlike their ancestors who received mirrors and gunpowder in exchange for selling off their compatriots to foreign slave dealers, current leaders appeared to be consumed by lust for power and the pursuit of creature comfort as manifested by the possession of private jets, flashy cars, a harem of nubile girls and other indicators of conspicuous consumption.

This is the exact summary of Nigeria's problem.
The same mindset that led to selling off our compatriots to slavery over 300years ago is still the same mindset of the present ruling elites.


The rhetorical question is what can really salvage this nation or is she beyond redemption ?

Anyiamaka:
Are you ok? In what kind of environment was he supposed to do that?

It is unafrican to knell down and ask a girl "will you marry me?". Europeans do that. In Africa, a man tells the woman, I want to marry you, I want to see your parents. Go and tell them that I am coming to ask for your hand in marriage! That's how we do it

Exactly
All this proposal stuff me no understand them at all.

HeavenlyHolines:
With the way people have sex before marriage still baffles me and many people will still be saying I am looking for a virgin as a spouse of which you can't keep yourself before marriage. Is it a sign of love or trust or understanding coz someone who doesn't have self control n discipline before marriage might b expose to danger of adultery in many cases. Love is not sex n sex is not love. As a Christian n counsellor, it has never been a recipe for success in marriage. Stay pure and chaste which is God's plan for us because it has both physical n spiritual blessing. The way u won't want to advise your children in future when they ask u about sex before marriage,please let's uphold the sanctity concerning marriage. I am over 30 years old n still a virgin not that I don't feel d urge but I always put my body under subjection because emotions is stronger than knowledge but knowledge is better than emotions. Shalom

Even among Christian folks many sleep around, talk less of ordinary folks out there.
In fact it's very common
If you say otherwise
People will think you ain't normal

But I know that sex is a very deep thing
And not something to be played or joked with
And God completely frown at it outside marriage
Like Galatians 5 states that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God
And that's the fact
People may think it's a lie

The Bible warns to flee sexual immorality
It's the only sin you do against your body
And it carries grave consequences
And worst eternal damnation

People need to begin to see things
How God sees them
Marriage is an Honourable thing
The bed undefiled
But adulterers and who.re mongers God will judge

Macphenson:
I am not from the north. I am from South East.

Tinubu's greed and foolishness is going to cost the south a lot.

If he is not greedy , the presidency without issues should I domiciled in South south or south east, in the interest of equity and fairnness.

Now there's going to be a lot of political realignments which is likely to cost the south presidency.

It will definitely cost the south presidency
A house divided against itself cannot stand
In North East we have someone like governor Zulum of Borno
He is a decent politician

steeltrust:
zulum ll be a nice pick
I'll be glad cus dat guy is trying I can't lie

Yeah I see him as a different guy from all other politicians
He is educated
And has led Borno extremely decently
He will make a good president

As for the rest
I can't see any decent one

steeltrust:
if it doesn't go to d south east den it shud remain wit north

I will support dem
even he comes from APC I ll support

ona never see any tin

d Zimbabwe style await Nigeria if we don't get our act right

rubbish

I think it may likely go to North East
Governor Zulum of Borno is likely for APC he looks very decent

The south is not United
This will be to there disadvantage

Cheta my man
What a sound analysis
May God help us

Igboid:
There has always been Igbo people.

We existed as independent clans and went by our clan names, while we called each other Igbos.
To understand the concept of "Igbo", as an Ogidi man, if I meet someone speaking an Igbo dialect I am not sure is Ogidi.
I would ask him: "Ibu onye Ogidi ka ibu onye Igbo", meaning : Are you an Ogidi person or are you an Igbo person.

The person will now reply : Abum onye Igbo or Abum onye Ogidi. I am Ogidi person or I am an Igbo person.

Assuming this person is from a town called Nanka and I visited Nanka and the person wants to know who I am, since he had observed my Igbo dialect doesn't sound like Nanka dialect.
He would ask me, " I bu onye Nanka ka ibu onye Igbo "meaning "Are you from Nanka or from Igbo".
I will then answer, A bum onye Igbo( I am an Igbo).

The concept of Igbo is that everyone who speak similar language to you is Igbo while you identify by your own clans name.

We call each other Igbo but never called ourselves Igbos, until the white came and did the obvious.

The tragedy of Africa is that we never had written details of our history.

And I believe this is the major cause of underdevelopment of this continent

It was even the Europeans that wrote a bit about our history
While the Asians, Europeans have thousands of years of written down, documented history.

It's very pathetic indeed

Kobojunkie:
Sure, God runs the whole show. He is God over all things after all. But He does not rule you through your governments and your laws.
Your churches as well as the world governments belong in the hands of the men that run them and their worldly schemes with which they run them with.

Romans 13
King James Version
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.



This was St Pauls instruction to the romans
Mind you Rome during Paul's days was a terrible hedonistic natiin
But they were instituted by God

Kobojunkie:
God is only concerned with His followers and their obedience to His Commandments. Your churches and their existences as business entities of the world have nothing to do with God, but the world.

God is concerned with everything under the sun
Even government on earth was instituted by God
To maintain law and order
If there was no government
There will be chaos on the earth
Read Roman's 15

BabaRamota1980:
The churches brought this upon themselves.

There are many muslim communities just like Zakzaky group in North. They mind their business and never get involved in govt issues. Zakyzaky stays in govt business all the time. Thats why he is in trouble now.

Jonathan set a bad precedence when he will have these pastors meddling govt business. They got too comfortable and started commenting on what govt is doing or not doing. When you are a tax exempt organization, stay away from govt the best you can. Put a long distance between you and govt. Govt has all the rules and ways to fvk up anyone, if they choose to. These churches did same thing Zakyzaky did, started fvkng with govt. So now govt wants to fcvk with them too. Its unfortunate but its reality.

There is a pastor in America called Pastor Dollar or something like that. He used to condemn govt and live large and flaunt. One of their legislators got on his case and wanted to probe him and his church. The Pastor got the message at that point.

If CAMA can bring out same result in Nigerian pastors it will be great. The money they waste on acquiring jets and building for-profit private institutions should be better used in promoting wellbeing and supporting needs of communities and people. At the end of it people benefit when churches come to their aid in time of distress and need.

Did they touch creflo dollar? No
He told them he was not answerable to them, and nothing happened.


Anybody fighting against the church is fighting against God
It is very very very dangerous

You can't fight your maker
Jesus said I will build my church and the gates of hell cannot prevail.


Irrespective of whatever they do
It will not touch the church in anyway
Never



I remember a church that had land
And one past government in the south
Wanted to take over the land as a result of the power they wield

The pastor said lai lai
Two government officials used bulldozer
To pull down the fence

The pastor picked up a block from the fence that was pulled down
And made a declaration
That if God didn't call him
That those two men will not escape divine judgement
Not up to two weeks
Those two officials
Died within the space of a day

Na run the state government
Run from the land
No be person tell them


People don't fear God again
Anybody that tampers with God's thing
Is playing with fire and eternal damnation
