LandMann:
Reason before you talk and put your emotions aside when passing judgement..

How do you expect DSS to investigate his allegations without asking him to corroborate his claims?

The man's allegation is very severe and that allegations has cast aspersions on over 14 Northern governors...

It is only fair and just that the man proves his claims since he's still insisting that it is true, that a northern governor is sponsoring boko haram.

The man should go to DSS and prove his claim and also provide all available evidence to the public so that we can follow up wisely instead of blindly like most people are doing now.

Imagine that I speak on NTA and claim that one of the children of your father is a ritualist responsible for the deaths of over 1000 people in Nigeria.

Are you all the children going to keep quiet about it?

If security involve, will they jump into investigation without asking me to come provide proof to back my assertion?

Let's be guided and dispassionate please.

Those who are praying for Nigeria to get into civil war, experience a Rwanda genocide situation or fragment are not sleeping. They will use any means to achieve that goal, including spreading propaganda to sew seeds of hatred in the hearts of Nigerians against one another.

Let's be guided sir.

And you think he wouldn't have told the DSS who it is? He most definitely has. It is the DSS's duty to intelligently investigate the activities of the said governor and provide evidence to nail him. Mailafiya can not have evidence because his source of info is a high ranking BH commander who only passed the info verbally.

Kekereekun123:
Name the person or keep shut

Kekere Ekun, how do you expect him to name the person? It is not every truth that can be backed up by evidence but its truth all the same. If he names the person to the public, will you help him pay when he is fined by a court for defamation?

I'm sure he has told the dss who it is (that's if they ever asked him). Its should be up to them to investigate and provide evidence to nail the person.

But they are not interested in doing that. That's why they are harassing the man up and down the whole place.

Arrewa:
he didn't accept that of taraba because the money isn't enough for him

He is working hand in hand with killer Herdsman... He already made it clear.

But you people are bent on defending him because you were told he is killing herdsmen.

Where is this man when killer Herdsmen are killing hundreds of people in Benue?

Benue need peace from bandits of any kind.

We want a peaceful benue where farmers can go back to farm.


You ipobs are just supporting this man to promote division which is your agenda.

Yes this government failed him by not protecting him after he surrender but the sudden support from ipobs is just to manifest their agenda.

As he was working hand in hand with the killer herdsmen, why wasn't he arrested by the army so that they could get sensitive info from him to enable them round up the leadership of the militant herdsmen?

Let me educate you a bit. Gana was killed by the army because he had so much info with him that was likely to implicate certain people in power if the amnesty deal he was going to accept scaled through. They were not going to allow that happen.

He who lives by by the gun dies by the gun. So I have no pity for the man, other than the pity of probably losing his soul because he lived a callous life against the Lord's will. But don't be under any confusion that those who killed him did that because they wanted to better secure the people. They were only trying to cover their misdeeds. You can be sure that another gana is already in the field, working with the murderous herdsmen and their benefactors in the corridors of power.

Shalom.

Basic problem is, it is time Nigeria has a side hustle

Over due self.

JAMO84:
You're mixing up banditry and kidnappings with terrorism.

Whats the difference?

Go and read up how ISIS was making money during their peak.

azmanaty02:
Back to back hit by our darling daddy.

Sai barber

The guy is smashing records everywhere man.

He is the real niggar.

Someone said buhari has handled Nigeria's security situation better than Jonathan did.

Buhari has gotten everything wrong in the last 5 years.

The man e tisa go obodo a.

Tufiakwa.

That is a whooping us$81b at an exchange rate of N380. We are gradually getting there.

The moment our income can no longer service our debts, the foreclosure starts and the country eventually winds up, just like a typical business.

When the country is fully grounded, we will now forcefully discuss our structural problem. Only then will we have a new emergence.

Quite unfortunately, many will not make it through. But those who eventually do will build the new nations that will emerge from Nigeria.

jansonn:
What's really wrong with Nigeria?? God help us please!!

Very simply: The money we generate as a nation can no longer meet our needs, so we have to borrow.

azmanaty02:
Bubu is a curse

The fool added almost 2.4trillion in just 3months to d debt profile..

He will not escape that 600years suffering, if he does, his children and those who voted him won't

Nobody borrows money for the fun of it.

Money no dey again. Our cash cow (oil) can no longer generate enough money to meet our genuine needs and our corruption. And the corruption is only going to get worse. When plenty people dey chop from one plate, na when food wan finish na im dem dey rush am pass.

Nigeria is about to be shreded to pieces by those in the corridors of power.

Save your curses bro. So far Nigerians are the ones dying, while Buhari and his family members are busy having a ball.

God has been enormously kind to us because going by scientific permutations, Africa should have been the worst hit.

It cannot be attributed to anything other than an act of the almighty to save us from a harvest of deaths.

That is why some of us have maintained that no matter how unholy we may be, it is still a plus to our continent that we are very religious.

mabea:
How do you ascertain that he is not called? Remember he is human

I don't know if he is called or not, I was only pointing it out to drive home a point. My grouse is with the man that is insinuating that God would curse anyone who insults a man of God, and that is theologically erroneous.

Except a miracle happens in this country very soon, we are sure to fight a very bloody civil war in a few decades to come.

VEXT:
Even prophet Elisha cause the children who called him bald.. Sometimes you have to rebuke the devil in a harsh way!!!

Christians do not follow Elisha, we follow Jesus. When Jesus was beaten black and blue and hung on a cross, he could have as well cursed everyone there to die, but he said "forgive them father for they know not what they do".

Christianity is not Judaism.

Etfash:
I will respond to you because I feel you are a Bible believer.

Spiritual matters don't work like that.

Moses married a foreigner, Aaron and Mariam the siblings of Moses heard from God too and they were also serving God, both Aaron and Mariam were also senior to Moses. So, based on physical assessment, it was okay for them to criticise and speak against moses. But No, God wouldn't take that! He asked them "... Were you not afraid to speak to my servant Moses so?.."

King David was another man who understood divine order too.. He was anointed just as Saul was anointed, yet he recognised that God would still have him punished if he harmed Saul.

So, you don't begin to condemn these people, whether you believe they are called by God or not. However, you can counsel people not to do or say certain things. For instance, don't call your neighbour "bastard, fool etc.".

Cheers.

My Brother, you see the passages you quoted are all under the old covenant, but we are now in the new covenant. Let me remind you how the new covenant came to be " Christ became a curse in our place to redeem us from the curse e of the law". Gal 3: 13.

The man who became a curse for all men will curse no one anymore. A man who rejects Christ is under a curse by his own making, he needs not to be cursed anymore. So his insulting a man of God cannot attract a greater curse than that which his rejection of Christ has brought upon him already. And he who is in Christ can not be cursed by anyone not to talk of Christ himself cursing his own disciple because he falters (in this case, insults a man of God).

That is not to say that people should go about insulting Christian leaders, but anyone saying that insulting a christian leader would bring down the curse of God is not properly rooted in New Testament Theology.

Read Matthew 10:25, and tell me what you deduce from it. Being insulted or criticized should be the least problem of a Christian. And it doesnt bother the Lord that He or His disciples are insulted. Consequently, he is not going to curse the "insulter". Christ himself was insulted from the beginning of his ministry until his death; He has been insulted by all generations since his death till this day, and will be insulted till the end of time, when he shall come in glory. What has been his response " Forgive them for they know not what they do". This is differential between Christianity and every other religion on earth.

It is a lack of understanding in certain aspects of the New Testament theology that will make Pastor Ibieyome speak the way he did especially when he said "I curse the day he was born". Do you know the implication of that statement? It is outrightly condemning the man to eternal damnation. That is not Christian. The Christian is called to save souls and not to condemn.

Let us rest this matter.

Righteousness89:


You agree or you Don't is not Relevant!

I just gave u an Advice ! If u wanna Listen, Good! If you don't wanna Listen, That's your Problem!

The Choices you Make in Life will Either Make or Mar you..

The Word of God Cannot Change Even in the Changing World...


Shalom!

Your advice is inappropriate.

Make your points encouraging people not to insult others because its sinful. But don't threaten people with Gods curse.

I don't think I should be reminding you that Jesus came to save and not to curse.

How many people did Jesus curse for insulting him?

Righteousness89:
Many people will Rope themselves into what they can't understand Because of this Matter..

My Advice and Admonishment to all is that Leave the Person of the Pastor. You Can Condemn the action or the words he used but do not Condemn the Man of God..

Insulting or Cursing the Pastor is acquiring a Curse on yourself. Leave the Person of the Pastor. Insulting a Man Under the Call of God is Insulting God Almighty..

Condemn the Words he uttered! Don't Insult the Pastor!!

They that Have Ears to Hear and Understand should Do so

I don't agree with, you.

At a time when the fakes and those who have called themselves to ministry are more than those under anointing for ministry, I doubt if Christ would visit anyone with a curse for insulting a supposed man of God who crosses boundaries.

How do we ascertain that Ibiyome is under the call of God? Because he has a large congregation? The Bible tells us that by their fruits you shall know them. What that man did on his pulpit was satanic.

You can't blame anyone for insulting him, and God won't. At most, the man who insults would bear the consequence for insulting people and not a special reprimand for insulting a supposed Man of God.

stasius:
I still love Catholic church till tomorrow!

Their priests are trained not to lick asses. They tell you how it is.

What a brief homily from the priest!

Not all Priests o. Yes, we have some very rugged and no nonsense priests in the church, but we have some some sycophants as well.

Mobi47:
Daddy freez was actually wrong with that interpretation. But the Pastor went too far sha...however, how can one redress a stubborn man like daddy freez, without going too far. He is totally wrong this time and very disrespectful. He nogo fit try all this stupid talks with Muslim imams na

Islam and Christianity is not the same thing.

Criticism is a necessary tool to live a Christ-like life because it humbles the christian. Humility is critical characteristic of the christian.

Let the Pastors, Priests, Bishops and Pope be criticized or insulted. It only makes them better Christians if they accept it in good faith and suffer silently.

I think they plan another 100% increment sometime next year according to the so called MYTO plan or whatever they call it.

At that point, there wouldn't be any difference running a diesel gen and using the disco.

I moved from N21 to N52. In my entire life, i have never seen such instant increment in the price of any product or service.

The fuel price increase is child's play compared to the power issue. If there should be a lockdown, it should be based on this power tariff increment.

The most ridiculous thing about the whole issue is the bullshit they keep saying that areas that experience few hours of power will not have their tariffs altered.

It is a lie, and it is a ridiculous statement. Even if that is what is on paper, it will never be implemented in reality and the government knows that.

hopexter:
If you've given up on Nigeria, you can as well relocate to Sudan or Somalia. Nigeria shouldn't be like this, Sowore is more Educated than your Generation so he believes Nigeria can change for better and some of us Nigerians Believe That too

How did you know Sowore is more educated than his generation?

You can push your points without making ridiculous statements. Its very inappropriate to speak the way you have just spoken.

femi4:
Most of the donations are from Nigerians in diaspora

most definitely.

Mutemenot:
When has it become the duty of our custom to make such publication Fake news jare

I think Its a plot to stop mass protests.

Good

GreenArrow1:
Lol! People who feel they have arrived just because they have browsing phones and social media accounts are complaining.

Ask them to fall out en-masse to the streets and watch them disappear and remain on social media, feeling like they are better than the protesters.

You ain't seeing nothing yet. Hopefully it gets to 60k a bag by December. God is preparing a great formatting of brains in Nigeria.

You admire foreign countries forgetting that the people over there ferociously oppose bad government policies at any point in time the opportunity arises.

I doubt if people will sit at home this time around o. The situation has gotten completely out of hand. At this rate, we well all be subjected to almajiri category before 2023.

Under Jonathan, minimum wage was 18,500 while a bag of rice was 7k which was 38% of the minimum wage. So the lowest earner could buy a bag of rice and still have some money for some other things.

Now, minimum wage is 30k ( no be everybody dey pay am sef) and rice is 32k which is over 100% of the minimum wage, and some people are still able to support buhari?

Guyman02:
Any Igbo or SS that joins the protests and Buhari shoot am he die for nothing, we did our own protest in 2015 and they happily called us 5%

Allow them to enjoy their change, Buhari can kill without remorse and they will organise counter protest with thousands of will almajiri miscreants to throw stones at you, ask Deji Adeyanju

Guy forget. The price of rice Enugu is the same with the price in katsina, and Igbo's don't have more disposable income than the rest of the country.

We all must protest because its biting all of us.

SmartPolician:
Ogbeni, go sleep

Jonathan is not coming back.

I must commend those who rebranded Buhari in 2015 though. I once heard one of them saying that Buhari will personally lead our military to defeat Boko Haram because he is an ex-soldier. That was a preposterous comment, to say the least.


In all fairness, I think Buhari did better than Jonathan in fighting Boko Haram. Nowadays, bombs don't go off as they used to. I don't totally blame Jonathan though because he was new to insurgency.

In contrast, Buhari came prepared with many people saying that he is the sponsor of a Boko Haram faction that once named him their negotiator in the time of Jonathan.

Given that the fight on terrorism has been commercialized now, it will very impossible to end it completely. I also believe that the idea of releasing some Boko Haram terrorists would have been a precondition by one of the factions for ending years of bombing. So, it was not intentional as it was never logical. But we all see the positive results.

My biggest fear of this government is that they borrow too much, sending the signal that Nigeria is flat broke. Meanwhile, we have new taxes spring up every day with parastatals claiming that they generate huge sums in revenues now. All this begs the question: What does Buhari do with all Nigeria's earnings?

I dont agree that Buhari did better than Jonathan on the Boko Haram thing. You need to remember that Nigeria had never experienced terrorist attacks and there was no indication that any of such was breeding. Infact hearing of suicide bombing in Nigeria was unbelievable at the first instance until it became rampant. So the Jonathan Govt was taken by surprise. As great as America is, it took them a while to get a grip on the terrorist attacks launched against them by al quaeda. Everything Novel (just like the novel covid 19) take people by surprise and it takes while to understand the situation in order to attack it appropriately.

Don't forget that the North also saw it as a tool to take power back thereby further frustrating the administration's efforts to deal with it. If you can remember, when Jonathan's govt eventually engaged the Mercenaries, they started recording great success in their campaign against the terrorists until Buhari came in and disengaged them.

I dare to say that if Jonathan was still president, the situation wouldn't be as bad as it is today because those mercenaries would have practically cleaned out the terrorists.

With that said, Jonathan was still not a good enough president.

Eniola40:
Honestly Nigerians really goofed in 2015

A disastrous goof I must say.

duduade:
Okay you try... It's like it's because you still receiving salary to move around

So the man's condition is still okay.

Nairalanders no go kill person.

Sarmiz24:
Northern Criminals will never achieve anything outside the shores of this nation, but will be for champion wen e reach to loot and steal our resources bunch of bastards

Its so bad that when such news show up you are almost so certain that its either a Yoruba or Igbo person.

The earlier the northern leaders forget this quota system and born to rule rubbish, the better for them because no matter how hard they try, Nigeria will not remain one country forever.

smileforme15:
I knew I will see this while scrolling down. NIGERIA WONT MOVE FORWARD

The earlier we accept the truth which you have spoken, the better for all of us.

Politics has divided us irredeemably. We will do better as neighbors.

flamingREED:
There's hardly any Nairalander who wouldn't care about the name of the subject in this kind of thread.

That's what Buhari's govt has turned us all to: Tribalists.
