The only presidential aspirant talking about issues and how to fix Nigeria. He is very capable to help Nigeria reset itself to a functional state where her citizens are proud to call home. One thing is certain, he will cut down excesses in running government, and minimise corrupt. The later is my only fear for his aspiration as I don't think Nigeria is ready to give up on corruption.

Nauttyprof:
The Bible verse you quoted does not support whatever he preached. The Pastor only spoke what the Bible says and didn't just say this on his own. He also spoke against a killer marriage.

Now, on the subject matter divorce. The Bible is absolutely clear that God hates divorce. So, it's best getting it right from the beginning. The question now is if one made the wrong choice, what happens? This is where separation comes in and not Divorce. The man or woman can be separated from the wife or husband till the opposite partner is restored or certain traits addressed through therapy and the likes.

So, the summary of everything still stands God hates divorce but there can be separation especially in life threatening circumstances till the opposite partner is restored to the norm in a marriage.

Marriage should be fundamentally built on love and once there is continuous act of violence in a marriage, it means love has gone. If you stay any day longer in that marriage regardless of what your pastor says, you are only digging your grave.

Let's Be Wise!

So called bandits terrorising Nigeria citizens. What are our legislators doing? What more is needed to do the needful?

These are obviously terrorists but are still called "bandits" by FGN.

There was a country

Can there be network in Sambisa forest and all those remote villages and forests where those terrorists operate? I doubt if there will be network there.

Friendly fire.

Rein in control on inflammatory comments - simply delete tribal comments.

It's good that they are all alive to see what Nigeria has become. They all failed!

PDP house is not in order and that could give APC a free pass. Zone the presidency to South.

Not surprised. Nigeria's corruption tendency and abilities is beyond anything I have ever seen in the world. Too much corruption everywhere

If he says he will do it, he will. He's very capable to rejig Nigeria if given the chance. He knows what to do.

They never care about us.

No need to deny your support to Buhari whether overtly and covertly. The did is done already, he is a bad investment

Says a man who has been settled to fight NK and now Peter Obi. What does he know about Anambra?

Where is Buhari Isiagu's cloth?

Of course, he fits the example very well.

Even Benin Republic and Togo are cutting some shares as well.

When a country has no visionary leader but a Siddon dey look retired Army General, what do you expect?

Many companies have quietly left Nigeria without any noise or a need to be woo'ed. When 2023 comes, please vote again Buhari version 2, with time it will be difficult to undo what we have inflicted on ourselves.

Is he now finding his voice?

ebufa:
you obviously do not know or care to know what you re talking about!

Please enlighten me on what I need to know.

I don't listen to such political pastor who mobilised against Jonathan over fuel subsidy but lost his voice over Buhari's worst fuel records. By their speech you shall know them.

Misyarning again

This idea of no one owes no one shit is why accountability is lacking in our generation. Baba an elder brother who enjoyed good support from parents owes his younger siblings same support until they also find their feet. To me, it is a must. They train you to assist in training others, not just the elder brothers alone, but ever other member of the household.
Imagine training your son in the higher institution and assisting him until he gets a job and can afford to survive on his own. Why won't he also assist to train his younger siblings till they can stand on their own. He mustn't necessarily take up all their responsibilities, but he owes them those little help and support he got from the parents, it is an obligation.

I get your point considering we grew in Nigeria and are polarised by our way of life and thinking, but the reality (and that's how it is done in modern world) is that it is the responsibility of the parents to train their kids regardless of if it is first or last child or male or female. That responsibility ideally should not be passed to eldest child unless the parent(s) died untimely. When you load up the eldest child with such huge responsibility at early stage of life, it becomes a heavy burden to carry. And trying to find a balance between personal goal and big family expectation become difficult. In fact how do you lift people up when you yourself can barely stand. We should break that cycle of burden bearing, they are not born donkeys. That's why such weird expectations forces an eldest daughter to marry out quick, to minimise number of mouths to feed, and they will even press pressure on her new family. What happened to all her life dreams and ambitions, - all suspended. Next she will start making babies and the cycle will continue. Similar with eldest male child, their's is worst. They are expected to train every one regardless of the number of them. And they grow old too quick carrying the responsibility of parents at very young age. In fact you are expected not to start your own family until you have cleared some of these burden. Please let's stop this. They are not sacrificial lambs or donkeys that carry burden.

However, if we are all equally well trained up to certain level, enough to be able to be independent, and it happens that one or two persons are falling behind, yes anyone can render help whether eldest or youngest, to lift that person up. There are too much eyes and expectations on eldest child that doesn't sit well with me. It should stop.

Can't believe my eyes

Nigeria sef tire person. Too many evils have been done by the old generation and they are not stopping. No good legacy to bequeath the younger ones, that's why things are spiralling out of control.

He should come back to Nigeria and lead by example.

Soludo should assert himself on this sit-at-home issue. Which other state in Igbo land sits at home on Monday?

Arewa youth blaming Buhari . That's a bit strange.

I don't know what else to say because another killing or kidnapping worst than this will still happen very soon, and we all lament, wail and seem helpless, without doing anything to wake government up to their responsibility.

Why do we pay people to be incharge of security if this is all they could deliver? What happened to the morale of Nigeria security intelligence Apparatus? Are they still operational? Why has nobody resigned or be sacked? Why are we not protesting about the state of security in Nigeria?

Cashio:
Why will people shout entitlement?
Yes the elder brother owes his younger siblings some form of help or assistance. That is not entitlement, that is being responsible.
Imagine I have an elder brother who was trained in school or craft by our parents and afterwards, he absconds and forgets his siblings. I will personally go to his house and break his doors and if need be, threaten him with gun and make him pay for everything our parents spent on him.
An elder bro, owes his younger ones some care, same with other siblings. If you are trained, you have to assist to train others. That is how the family will grow.

Bros this your view point is weird. It is an example of entitlement mentality. Elder brothers don't OWE any siblings any shit unless the so called siblings are disabled due to circumstances.

For it to work, make sure you build a rapport or trust or good relationship with your elder brother or vice versa, and if he's rich or any other person in the family for that matter, it will naturally cascade to everyone within the family without asking. But if you sit down and do nothing, banking that he MUST do it because he's elder brother, then there lies the wahala. He will not flinch!

Abuja is beautiful. Reasonably planned

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is difficult to understand. Invading your neighbor for what?

Russia is large enough and already well endowed. It should have been a defacto natural leader of the Balkans if not for their bullying posture on small surrounding countries. And they all looked to the west.
