Well, to move to the next level, sacrifices must be made. Pres. Jonathan has made the sacrifice of press freedom of which he became a victim. Now every Tom,.Dick and Harry can say any gibberish. Can this woman come out during obj's tenure to attack the government at any slightest opportunity? oh I forgot she's his mistress!!

May God give us life to see how this woman and others criticize the incoming government where they get it wrong.

May 29 should be fast at hand so that Pres. Jonathan can take his leave since he caused the epileptic power supply, bad roads, etcetera that has bedevilled Nigeria since independence.
Happy Sunday

FUTO usually receives the highest number of application for electrical and electronics engineering according to JAMB statistics. So i'm not surprised.

Nothing lasts forever. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

I think he should start with the education and power sector and ensure proper security, then other things will fall in place. Reorientation of our police should be given special attention.also.

Strategy or not, when a man is destined to be somewhere, then he must get there provided he is running with a vision and is working assiduously towards it. It will only take time. Bro, RELAX.

I hope we'll continue to earn their respect from now on. I can't wait for Nigeria to realise her potentials and take its place among comity of great nations.

My own take is simple. One day an igbo man or woman will ascend the presidential throne of Nigeria. Every tribe is born to lead and not just follow. Minority only exists in our psyche.

I want athletico to win or at least draw so that the unbeaten run continues.
Mayday, mayday, treble compromised, others soon to be compromised. Gracias.

Mine is february 17th and saw many 17 too. That's so cool. My fellow date/month mates can reach me on 07033100577. Strangers are potential friends, we don't just know yet.

What has that dressing got to do with ideas and innovations as regards change in Nigeria?
With all due respect, Bahari should stick to his trademark traditional. He reminds us of his very old age in that suit.

If the president cannot tackle violence headlong, then he isn't fit to lead. He can't hide behind a flimsy excuse like this or why was he elected in the first place if not to manage situations like this?
If boko haram is an excuse, then he should allow capable hands to do the Job to avoid jeopardizing our lives for another 4 years. An average Nigerian life seems next to nothing these days.

Pastor ayo: when are you writing boko haram a letter Mr sultan sir?
Sultan: *clears throat* that cannnnn....ot be a problem, i just need to get a new pen and fresh ideas and you know these things take time. Just finished recent ideas on ISIS.

An epitome of natural beauty, hope she's still Alive.

I hope our 'rulers/politicians' would one day learn to play constructive politics and not one of destruction. Until that day, we'll still be wallowing in democracy of darkness.

What is 'Go and Die'? Is that a name of a song? Did Ekiti direct it? Pls enlighten me because i school in nazareth.

Please, will it work on a 2gb RAM, 2.13 processor speed, freedos pc?

Amaechi, i hope the proverbial invisible spirits playing this drum for you are really as strong as you presume them to be.

@platoon, I just want us to avoid foul language, nothing more. As far as calling a spade what it is, u you are welcome.

@Dan Humphrey, I believe the topic can be tackled diplomatically and with decorum. The atheist has said how he feels without derogatory expressions. I believe we can toe the that line too.

I believe the atheist has some valid points but all thesame caution is needed. This is a man of God. MOD please move it to the front page to garner opinions. Thanks.

Arguably, the Redeemed Christian
Church of God, RCCG, is Nigeria’s, if not
Africa’s, biggest Pentecostal church.
Speaking on how big and influential the
religious movement is in Nigeria recently, a
renowned American politician, Andrew Rice,
writing in The New York Times , calls the
RCCG as “one of Africa’s most vigorously
expansionary religious movements, a
homegrown Pentecostal denomination that
is crusading to become a global faith.”
In addition, Daniel Ajayi-Adeniran , a pastor
of the RCCG, said: “In every household there
will be at least one member of Redeemed
Christian Church of God in the whole
world.”
Pastor Adeboye of RCCG
In spite of the popularity of the RCCG in
Nigeria and beyond, the church, founded in
1952 by the late pastor Josiah Akindayomi
(1909–1980), has faced a lot of criticisms
lately partly by the actions or inaction of its
present General Overseer, Pastor Enoch
Adeboye. Adeboye, popularly called ‘Daddy
G.O’ by members of the RCCG. Pastor
Adeboye has been overseeing the church
since 1981.
Below opinion, written by Imoh David,
and published by Sahara Reporters
today, Thursday, 4 September, 2014, is
one of the latest criticisms against
‘Daddy G.O’:
The RCCG is the fastest growing
merchandise in Nigeria. Besides potential
conflict zones, the RCCG merchandize is just
about everywhere in Nigeria including the
bedroom of the oga in Aso Rock. This is to
show that “Dia ris God oo”. The God of
Daddy Adeboye is really a “Baba God”. A
Baba of private jets, bank CEO clients on
EFCC lists, oil magnets patronage,
polithiefcians and most especially the man
in Aso Rock.
Pastor AdeboyePastor Adeboye is one
“pulpitarian” that seduces my grin. Adeboye
has proven that once you tell a story that
begins, ends and centres around “Baba
God”, it can be believed by Nigerian
Christians no matter how senseless and
untrue it is. The RCCG Christian clan in
Nigeria is one Christian sect that can believe
any story with the tag of “Baba (God).”
What is more marvelous than the fact that
adults in the 21st century can believe a
story that a man travelled from Benin to
Lagos on an empty fuel tank? None of them
saw it but someone claimed that some sky-
Baba told him to travel that far without
looking at his fuel gauge. Boom! Everyone
believes.
Pastor Adeboye has reached the level where
he can tell adults that he went for jogging
in heaven before coming to mount the
pulpit and the religious folks will believe. I
am jealous. What can I smoke to reach the
level where I can tell people stories and
they’ll believe it to be true whether or not
it is a lie?
But I do not understand why Baba God has
not told Daddy Adeboye to do a crusade in
the North in places like Jigawa, Yobe,
Bauchi, Borno? Haba! Borno? That is too
harsh now! Even Baba does not have such
imaginations to send our Daddy to
Maiduguri. Baba God (*in Adeboye’s voice*)
is not interested in winning Boko Haram
souls; he’ll rather concentrate in repeating
same old message to people who have
already heard it in Lagos and the South.
Baba does not need the souls of terrorists
and almajaris, so he’ll rather concern
himself in giving his servant private jets,
schools, offerings, tithes, etc. They are
more important than the souls of Almajiris
and Boko Haramists.
Isn’t it awesome that Baba could make a
car drive without fuel from Benin to Lagos
(which nobody saw except Baba’s servant),
but cannot use that same power to arrest
Boko Haramists? Is it that somebody’s Baba
cannot do that or somebody has refused to
harken to that voice of Baba or perhaps
somebody is afraid to come in contact with
any incident that will send him to his Baba
God? Hmmm, somebody is afraid to go and
meet Baba. Well, it’s non of my business
before his social bodyguards will “kee” me.
RCCG members are to Nigeria what Ebola is
to Liberia; they are an epidemic. One thing
about them; they do not fail to announce
their presence. Their stickers always do the
talking. “Redeem family” on their door
posts, on the car, in the office and if it
were possible to tattoo it on their forehead,
they’ll do just that. Even the ones that are
flying with their legs will tattoo it on their
briefcases with faith that one day they’ll
paste it on their cars.
These folks can believe anything. A typical
Redeem member can believe that he can
enter Dubai and automatically and then
Baba will give him the ability to speak
Arabic instantaneously so that a big firm
will pay him in millions of dollars to
translate Arabic to English for them
overnight. It’s not their fault. When you
believe that someone drove from Benin to
Lagos on an empty fuel tank without seeing
it, then you can believe anything.
The RCCG church service; well, I’ll give them
a C. Unlike that of Christ Embassy which
full of unending drama scenes, the RCCG
service can put you to snoring.
A mathematician will always be a
mathematician, even in the way he talks. Is
it just me that notices that Adeboye speaks
like he is trying to solve arithmetic without
a calculator? It is good packaging though.
For it is easier to seduce people on the
pulpit when you appear and sound humble.
Talking that way will never anger you to slap
a poor woman for saying she is “a witch for
Christ”. At least he is not temperamental
like his Ota counterpart. Another good
thing about talking that way is that it makes
it so easy to go unnoticed that you are a
lazy praying man.
Adeboye simply calls-out prayer topics and
suffers the poor congregation to pray
lengthy and chew their hearts out and after
that he ends it with a short line “my Baba
says it is done” and they shout Amen! After
all, they won’t call it laziness; it is an
excuse for faith. If it was me that was
praying that way they’ll say I do not have a
spiritual life, since there is no Daddy or
Papa attached to my name; I am jealous.
On the other hand, why would you have to
extend your prayers when you already have
private jets and a Commander-in-Client?
What do you want to pray for? Leave the
prayer for the poor men to tear apart.
I want to make an appeal that the dear
Daddy should refrain from praying and
prophesying about national issues. The first
time I heard him speak about national issue
was when President Jonathan wanted to
contest in 2011. He said Baba God will send
good leaders to Nigeria and we ended up
with President Goodluck Jonathan. If
president GEJ is what Baba intended to send
to us, all I can say is “Baba, you can do
better than this.”
Few months before the subsidy removal, he
prayed that Baba will work on the country.
Before we knew it, the President removed
subsidy.
Again, he prayed and cursed Boko Haram,
few weeks later Boko Haram attacked Yobe
schools and now Baba’s curse on Boko
Haram has led to thr Chibok tragedy and
many more. When news broke that
American soldiers will be joining the Chibok
pursuit, he said that Baba will cause the
girls to be released soon. Baba must have a
special kind of soon.
Whether or not Adeboye’s Baba functions,
nobody asks questions because nobody
questions Baba’s spokesman. I don’t know
whether Adeboye is Baba or Baba is
Adeboye. Because if Baba cannot be
questioned and Adeboye too cannot be
questioned, it means Baba and Adeboye are
the same. Well, let me keep quiet
“Babatards” will nail me for talking about
Baba. Babacracy, you too sweet!

A cenotaph is needed. Afterall, he died in the line of duty. #Pathetic

I suspect pastor ayo must have played an indelible and conspicuous role in the life of president Jonathan at one point.i mean this is the only clergy that can singlehandedly attract the president's attention. Their friendship must transcend politics. #my thoughts

I pray the mods to let this topic run on nairaland's front page for as long as possible so that many nairalanders can see it and cast their vote for mikel or Moses.
Time for Nigeria to take their rightful position in Africa positively. Capish.

QUESTION: Why is Nigerian food not as popular as Chinese?
ANSWER: Because Chinese food is more popular than Nigerias.
CASE CLOSED.

I think the necessary persons should set up a committee to look into the 'abuse'.

Just as buhari's hoax to become the president will end up in oblivion....ISI EWU

Don't worry sir, just try your best because we have already generated 500,000MW with our generators.
