I'll hate to see dis crisis bc a faceoff btw Xtians & muslims. BK r attackn muslims too
We pray GEJ finds God's wisdom

Thanks maclatunji
my message is to Xtians. We cant serve BK evil for evil. There is a wisdom dat can curb this voilence

okunboy:
Brother, God will never use the instrument of evil to cleanse a nation.

Though terrorism and corruption may be of the same parent, terrorism may never be a solution to corruption.

I must commend you for taking the time to read the long discuss.
God using Boko Haram to cleanse Nigeria may be likened to God using Babylon to chastise and restore Israel in the Bible. Nothing is beyond Him in bringing His good purpose to pass.
My point in the essay is that it is wrong to only blame Boko Haram for the voilence in the country. Years of corruption has brought this on us, and to resolve the BK menace will require a strong commitment to abolishing corruption and a wisdom that will require dialoguing with the BK sect to resolve it.
Truth is this country is on a timebomb and we must resolve this problem before it is too late.

provide text pls

WHY I WILL NOT CURSE BOKO HARAM
“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence” – Genesis 6:11
At a Christian fellowship meeting last Sunday evening, a sister told us how she had travelled the previous day to Ijebu-Ode for the burial of a colleague of hers who had died as a result of the bomb attack on the UN building in Abuja, allegedly carried out by the Boko Haram sect. The meeting would later be extended late into the night as everyone present had something to say about this latest menace to the Nigerian society. The death of that man, I later realized is the closest the Boko Haram attacks have been to me. But the frightening thought is that Boko Haram is getting closer and closer.
My last note on Facebook, “A Dangerous Trend”, tried to warn Christians folks against enjoying security in their prosperity and developing nonchalant attitude to the political situation in our country. I reasoned that the rich minority will never be secure in the midst of a poor majority according to the Karl Marx doctrine; and that this attitude is alien to the teachings of the Bible – perfectly demonstrated by the life and message of Jesus Christ and his apostles. If my warning did not get your attention, I can see that the bomb on the UN building in Abuja did. How do I know that? Well, there is a new found practice in local churches now to curse Boko Haram.
The introductory quote to this note could read “Nigeria also was corrupt before God, and Nigeria was filled with violence” if we replace earth with Nigeria. There is established corruption in Nigeria today. All the gains made by Nuhu Ribadu during the Obasanjo era have been totally reversed by succeeding administrations. Nigeria continues to rank high among most corrupt countries in the world and only recently been declared the fourteenth failed state in the world, after countries like Somalia, Chad and Zimbabwe. All of these despite being the leading exporter of crude oil in Africa and second only to Saud-Arabia in the world! Nigeria may have known violence before but it got to a threatening dimension when the Niger Delta militants began a spree of bombing and kidnapping. That situation had hardly been quelled before the emergence of Boko Haram in 2010.
Christians folks need to understand that the nation has the twin evil of corruption and violence to contend with, and cursing one while tacitly supporting the other (when we don’t speak against it) is a waste of time. The Economist, writing on the Boko Haram sect in Nigeria, said “Pervasive poverty worsened by unchecked government corruption, is as much part of the problem as fervent religious belief”. The Niger Delta militants’ violence came from pervasive poverty; the Boko Haram violence comes from fervent religious beliefs – all of them fuelled by unchecked government corruption.
It is unfortunate that rather than consider the evil of corruption, some would rather blame General Buhari for inciting the Boko Haram violence. When the Boko Haram sect began unleashing terror on residents of Maiduguri in 2009/2010, no one blamed Buhari then because there were no elections in that year. When Yusuff, their leader, was killed extra-judicially, and the government, supposing to have quelled the uprising , went on to win the elections in questionable circumstances, Buhari was quickly blamed for succeeding Boko Haram activities. Like so many have often rehearsed before, Buhari has lost two elections before this one and not one person has accused him of inciting violence before now. Neither have they succeeded in linking him with Boko Haram despite hiring the CIA and FBI to the work we should be doing.
Also, the solution to the Boko Haram menace is not dividing Nigeria. Nigeria is a geographical entity put together by God to help bring about His own good purpose in the nations of the earth. This nation is far too entwined together for Boko Haram or any wishful thinker to put apart. It is true that their demand for western education to be abolished is unreasonable; nevertheless curbing their activities will take much more than military suppression. The solution to the Boko Haram menace will require such wisdom only God can give, which the President will have to seek from Him by himself (James 1:5), since it has become clear now that Boko Haram will not collect money neither will amnesty work in their case.
The apostle Peter wrote “He that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil(curses-NIV), and his lip that they speak no guile” (1Peter 3:10). The teachings of Jesus is replete with instances where he said we should bless and not curse our enemies. So what do we do with Boko Haram? We should pray for them. When David was in a precarious situation he asked God to turn the wisdom of Ahithophel, the wisest man of that time, to foolishness. May God turn the wisdom of Boko Haram to foolishness. May God endow all their ways with errors – that each of their plan be filled with dastard errors that will walk them directly into the hands of law enforcement agents. May God fill our law enforcement agents with wisdom to curb the Boko Haram violence. May God reveal to us all who their major sponsors are – political or otherwise. May the Nigerian government be sincere with the fight against corruption and may corruption become a thing of the past in Nigeria.
In Genesis 6, when God looked on the earth and saw corruption and violence, he sent a man named Noah to build an ark to save a minority from the earth. Then he sent flood to destroy the earth. He later swore that he would never destroy the earth again with flood. If Nigeria does not curb corruption in its government circles, it will be on a collision course with the wrath of God. He would send another kind of flood to cleanse this nation and afterwards a minority that has kept itself untainted from the prevailing corruption in the society will come up to build a New Nigerian nation. The Boko Haram sect is an accursed group already, but could it be that they are part of God’s cleansing mechanism in Nigeria?

GEJ problem is that he cannot endure simple criticism bc what d people say correctly describes his failures

If a 100% speak against GEJ on an internet website alone, is that not an ans to ur question

For me his worst critic, after me, is Desola. Kudos to Rhino too.
Greatest supporter: Beaf, closely joind by Kobojunkie.

100 days of promising more and doing less
In fact its been over a year of talk, talk, talk and doing nothing!

from Abati, Reno Omokri, kobojunkie and all GEJ apologist all over the nation.

poor infrastructure, poor educational sector, death in our hospitals, death on our roads and lies, lies and more lies

compromised Judiciary - salami/Katsina Alu, Jos, Boko Haram, renewed restlessness of Militants, kidnapping

Abati is doing his job
And a fine work he has done
But for corruption, insecurity, power failure, unemployment,

So OP
revolutn & voilence are insepereble twins. Nig revolt in d future will succeed and it will be at a price

But bc God is kind to us we will have a succesful revolt that will sweep d corrupt under and birth a new Nig

Nig is in dire need of a revolt but it must inspired and blessed by God or we'll have unending wars

we may hav a faild state like Somalia. When they succeed we have Ghana
So beware when U call for a revolt

good or bad revolts depending on d spirit birthing them
A revolutn may either be a success or failure. When revolts fail

revolution that will succeed must begin with blood" - Mark Twain
Revolutions require voilence. But note that there are

My guy don't bother d chap again. The only safe place now is in God. Nothing go happen. Just pray for him.

Nig are not unncesarily pessimistic. Alleast they celebrate Fashola
Fact most leaders we had have been incompetent.

@OP
Go and read what Rooservelt did in 100 days in office then U will know that GEJ is truly incompetent

Those who celebrate GEJ are so used to mediocrity in leadership they dont know any better

@OP
It goes with d job. If U dont wanna get wet dont play with water
@Desola
