Publicity stunt again... It's only in Nigeria you hear such lies, you know why? it's because nigerian's are easily carried away, even more than the missionaries that brought that religion to this country.. I'm a Christian but i hate how the church is now turning to a business centre.. why do we need to know? so we can come to his church of raising dead people... darkness, he is darkness, we need light not lies... *cough* end *cough* time is here already...

Okay, here's my little investigation:

The baby died, shouldn't they bury the baby?
Judging from the story, this happened on sunday if i guessed right?
Why did the parents not take the dead baby to the hospital?
Judging from the pictures, that baby doesn't even look dead
Who asked them(the parents) to take the baby to the resurrector?
Did the pastor advertise his resurrection skills before?
Okay, why did he start resurrecting babies now? why not since?
Who asked them to take the baby to the resurrector?
Who asked them to take the baby to the resurrector
Who asked them to take the baby to the resurrector?
Who asked them to take the baby to the resurrector?
Okay the pastor did?
Busted!!! we Nigerians are no longer gullible.. anti christ!!

Are u sure u are one? U sounded more like those Pharisees I read in d scriptures.

9jacrip:
Jesus killed Abacha then?

Nothing we no go hear from religious mentally imbalances Negroids who believe in a Jewish historical figure and a religion created by Europeans.

Am surprised at ur ranting. Why not face ur observation and leave d mentally imbalanced Negroids.

U seems too worry on issues u kno nothing about and such worry is affecting ur reading and judgement as evident in ur first statement. U better relax ur strength so dt u can continue observing like ur local and International observers.

gunuvi:
I only remember that verse in the bible that says that in the last days many fake prophets will be everywhere. This mbaka is a prophet of the devil. Can you innagine the audacity to even mingle with politicians. Nonsense

Wonder how he mingled with politics by prophesying from his pulpit. Did he go to d media house to ask for publicity. Or is it unscriptural for prophecy to come from the church about d nation or times? He spoke to his members about times and events and u call it mingle with politics. From his narration, he didnt seek Jonathan's help, they did, and he seemed to have been praying with them before d said prophecy. So prophesying about him is nothing special. Mayb its Jonathan dt err in not taking to heart d prophecy of a man he trusted his prayers but he resulted to offering money to please him.

If he has given jonathan d treatment Peter gave such attitude in d book of Acts thr would have been serious commotion and talking down on Rev Mbaka. Peter's word when offered money for such in d book of Acts is ds "Ur Money Perish Wit U". If Mbaka say such wat will u ur reaction then. Note Peter said such publicly which would have been all over d media if its in ds generation and then u would have called it mingling too.

9jacrip:
There's nothing spiritual about your prediction. Any observer, either local or int'l knew Jonathan wasn't going to likely win with odds stacked against him after 6 years in power and APC's grip on media and the many decampings from PDP.

I wonder what these pastors would say when European historians or catholics eventually come out to state Christianity as a religion was an invention and things written in the bible about Jesus were false?

I guess ur local and international observers knew very well that Abacha would die as president too. It's good u stay with ur observations and observers and leave others that spoke them ahead of time.

EternalTruths:
Please go and sit down

When you are mature in the Spirit, we will talk.


For the mean time


Visit YouTube on Buhari's call for violence

Its improper when u sit behind ur keyboard and assume u can address anyone who is correcting or disagrees wit u anyhow u like. U may regret such if u have opportunity of meeting them face2face. Forum anonymity is not really as anonymous as u think.

I pray i ll never reach such spiritual maturity that will make me disobey God's word, mock His name among d heathen and neglect scriptural guidance.
Ur spiritual maturity should b evident in ur conduct, utterances and godly wisdom. Yet u r adamant on publicising a YouTube video for me to justify ur misconduct in calling God's name in vain.

Kontinu, just make sure it doesn't turn out to be another John d Baptist and Herod's case o. We can't afford to loose d head of a spiritually matured man.

EternalTruths:
By this time next year, you will know between me and you who is right

For the mean time, keep following a President who forced himself into power without the consent of God

Go to YouTube and watch how he instigated post election violence and up to this day he has not apologized for it


" An attack on BH is an attack on the North." Buhari

Bro. Not here to judge who is right or wrong between u and d President o, am only concern about u using d name of God in vain.
Can u hear ursef. He forced himself against d Almighty? Haba. Pls leave God out of ds democracy wahala. God doesn't vote neither can He be voted for.

Good day.

Xetima:
It changes nothing. The decree remains in enforced. Where you in Afghanistan all the while? Your sudden patriotism smack of hypocrisy. Creating a new account to deceive others is not a reason for us not to know where you stood all the past years of abuses, lies, killing etc. You think you can move God? No you can only deceive men!!!

U r funny and too emotional Sir.

Which decree u dey talk? U b IBB?.

Your response shows u r really hurt about sometin but don't allow dt cloud u.
Did I mention patriot or ism at all? Did I stop u from abusing, lying or deception as u mentioned? Millions do dt daily here to express their anger and pain. U can too but bringing d name of God to justify ur sentiments is not necessary. Don't drag such into ur hatred with d President or d nation. U only give rooms for d ones outside to accuse God.

And note dt only kids change goal post to save face of defeat. I won't change account for gains in emotional discuss. And if u kno any kindly point it out. Thanks.

EternalTruths:
When I tell people that Buhari has no God's grace backing him, they think I am being sentimental.

See how the God of the 5% is fighting back for his people.

Xetima:
There is a huge brass plate covering Nigeria from heavenly grace A long as Buhari remains in office in Nigeria, nothing will work" for "the decree is by the watchers to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the Kingdom of men".
The Oracle has spoken, whatever you think does not matter. Buhari offended God Almighty and God is fighting back. Nigerians happen to be the "suffering grass" unfortunately, Buhari will never repent but like Pharaoh would continue to fight on. Soon, even his "own family and supporters" will turn against him for his injustices and lies. God is not mocked!!!

Sir. Such comments as above are d ones dt make d unbelievers take God words lightly. Bringing His name to justify mundane things is not necessary at all. We have nations without God dt are yet regarded as successful in ds world. Is He selective in His fights?
U even used d name "God Almighty" in d same context with "God fighting back". Do u really kno d import of d word God Almighty?. And d other threw in God's grace just because USA lifted ban on oil export.

I guess dt same God in His Word instructs u to pray for ppl in authority and leaders. I guess it all be great if we stick to such instructions else we drag His name into wat is not and wat is not true. Pls lets set aside emotions and do His word and not drag spirituals into human sentiments and earthly achievements.

jarkata:
I have been pondering over this question for a very long time, even before I got transfer to the east.
The fact still remains dat Ibo people are good people with good mind and they are accommodating.
Their industrious spirit actually boost my morale.
An average Yoruba, isekiri,or urobo man would rather confine or believe in Hausa/fulani man than Ibo man.
Nigeria government should allow this people to have their biafra , Nigeria is not united with one mind since 1914, do you know how many Ibo people have lost their lives in northern Nigeria due to religious crises even b4 d Boko Haram insurgency, burning of churches and killing of Christians in the north. I could remember during my NYSC in yobe state, five of us were posted to d same school ,2 Yorubas ,3 Ibos and one idoma boy called ' bobo' by name. Despite d fact dat d proprietor of the school didn't see the wall of even primary school he instructed d principal to reject d 3 Ibo's, in my mind I said why ,are we not one Nigeria? Since dat time I kept asking myself WHY IBO PEOPLE HAVE MORE HATERS FROM OTHER TRIBES .with d kind of mindset I was having towards Ibo people before now I realized Ibo land is one of the most peaceful land to stay, u hardly experience mayhem and pandemonium we do suffer in some area in Lagos like harm robbery, ' agbero ' problem e.t.c. I have been staying in Aba for d past seven month, there is no presence of govt. here, bad road everywhere even d major federal government road, aba to porthercourt is nothing to right home about. government should extend their tentacles in d level of capital project to the east, dat is why they are clamouring for biafra. though Their state government is also corrupt ,I see no reason why t. orji will spend eight years as a governor in abia and no sign of democracy Atal, he still emerged as a senator again na WA oooo .d fact still remains day, abia state received more allocation from federal govt than many states in south west and north yet no significant improvement here. I don't know of other states in the east. wait first, let assume t.orji becomes d president of Nigeria in 2019 WHAT MIRACLE CAN HE PERFORM.

Mr OP, am sure u r not a spokesman of any tribe in Nigeria neither are u d representative of any. No tribe has come out to say wat u wrote up thr except u and maybe others like u.

Ibo ppl are not hated and they hate no one too as a tribe. In every nation, all tribes must strive its recognition and survival of its traditions, in doing dt toes can be stepped upon. Dt might be read as hatred by few as u while majority see it as striving to be d best.

Please it ll b proper for Seun or d Mod to close ds tread as its a recipe for unhealthy tribal discussion and ethnic degradation.

Thanks.

Mack3N:
The rule 9 is not talking about childishness/hate,it is emphasizing on pro Biafra issues/apologists/agitators..

Besides,some folks that are happy about the rule are making it clear that the BIAFRANS are the only ones causing the problems..

Why does NL promote anti-Biafra topics?? And when BIAFRANS come in defense,you start banning unjustly!!

If you want to condemn something,don't have reservations for any thing.

Bro, please u can write a different post on ur discussion. The OP is clear, its not about pro Biafra issues and my post is not concern about d rule 9 or any but d sanity on NL. Please i beg u, leave ethnicity bias out of my post.
I never condemned any pro- or section. Please read with open mind. Except u want me to support cursing and hatred.
Thanks.

Mack3N:
You can't say it's the BIAFRANS that are hateful and insultive,it's you guyz who are seen snooping into biafran threads because you can't stand the heat.

You need to learn to respect the opinions of others and not resort to name calling because you don't share his opinion.

Sir. U definitely operates a programmed mind.
Keywords in d OP are

CURSES, HATRED, ABUSE, CHILDISHNESS, FUTURE LEADERS, INTELLIGENT AND UNINTELLIGENT DISCUSS.

Did u see Biafran or Biafra there at all? Was d cursing and hatred identified with d Biafra agitators alone. Have seen here on NL, ppl across all ethnics, religion and association wallowing in hatred, curses and abuses. Am nt concern about groups or ethnicity, am more concern about public sanity in disposition of opinions.

It's clear dt of recent here posts from all divides dt glorify public disgrace in disguise of ethnicity, religion or association biase have been dealt with irrespective of d poster's identity.

So Sir, I respect ur opinion but won't associate wit or respect utterances dt are murderous and unethical. No sane nations, people, tongues and tribes all over d world will fold their hands seeing their young curse d life out of themselves and out of d world.

Mack3N:
A forum without opposition and criticism may not thrive.

Ever wondered why anambra won the Nairaland 2014 population census?

It's because of our huge online presence.
It's been over 4days and am yet to see a thread hit page 5 in the politics section.
Stop deceiving yourself.

*logs back in to ala.....com*

Sir,

If u read thru d OP again u should kno d discuss is nt about opposition or criticism. No whr in d OP was such condemned.
My emphasis was on curses and hatred dt used to fill ds e-atmosphere. Are u not glad dt such has reduced or can u claim dt such hatred, curses and "abnormal" abuses are normal and should be accommodated here?

Ur post is obviously an opposition to d OP but u were nt banned and am sure u ll never be banned becos it wasnt filled with hatred and curses but ur opinion presented in a civilized way. Dt is wat is required for criticism and "oppositionism".

U said "A forum without opposition and criticism may not thrive." but also note dt a forum filled wit curses and hatred among forumites will nt only die it will hav its members killing each other at hearts and if opportunity comes, at sights.

Using ds time to appreciate ur effort in bringing relative sanity to NL. For d first time in few years I read posts on NL and discovered d usual curses and hatred have been dealt with to d minimum. Kudos.
And please don't stop at it. The next line of actions is to increase d IQ of d forum back by minimizing non value adding post, unintelligent discuss, childishness and relative abuses. I ll be glad to see NL pioneering d true Nigeria future leaders and intellectuals across d nation.

Keep Abounding.

plaetton:
Lol.
Pls kindly present your so-called documented facts.

Let me educate you. You can pay me back when your school fees have been refunded to you.

There have been tonnes of studies that correlate religiosity of a society with lack of progress and poverty, low standard of life, corruption, human rights abuses, scientific underachievement, and lack of social harmony.

And, People whose worldviews are not firmly grounded on the laws of mathematics and scientific rationalism should never be in positions where they can MAKE DECISIONS that affect others, especially a population.


This is the problem of Africa's underachievement and BASKET CASE status.

We allow idio.ts and moro.ns whose worldviews are grounded on toxic Stone-age myths to MAKE DECISIONS that affect populations of millions.

So, bottom line is :
If you're unfortunate to be born in a society where idio.ts with stone-age worldviews , who know the bible and Koran inside out, but can't understand simple economics or simple scientific facts, make decisions that affect your life, then you would most likely to end up as an economic refugee.

Simple.

Thanks Professor for mixing things up. Do a spreadsheet for ursef and set out column by column row by row. 1stly d total major religion and fanatical beliefs in existence (guess u don't see beyond christian and muslem or u porpurposely do dt to justify ur point).
Then set out d countries dominated by such religion or beliefs. Set out thr population also and religions views of thr past leaders and most successful once. Finally corelate them wit natural endowment and human capital utilization of each countries then u can come back and have ds discussion. I won't be able to serve u ready made answers from other ppls work since u dont Wang to search. Ur opinion up thr won't even pass d most basic logic for nations development.

plaetton:
He erred in trying to preach in a public forum in a multicultural and multi-religious society.

Diversity of culture, divesity of beliefs, and social harmony are concept that most Africans of the Abrahamic stone-age faiths fail to appreciate.

Ar u serious about dt?!!!
Erred by preaching in d public? U kno better nah. Can u show here where such rule or law exist in d country? U may want to point to him being seen as disturbing others bug such view is also subjective and relative to d ppl around. If ur vicinity accept wat u do dt can be call a nuisance, if they don't then u adjust or leave and ds is d only place he erred. Becos if making ur opinion public or trying to convince d same is an offence then u have committed d same here on ds forum.

plaetton:
If you got my point, like others did, then mission accomplished.

It was so easy for me to write my post because I know and have seen hundreds of the same ilk.

Having hundreds of such doesn't justifyd premises of ur assumption on d man. He didn't err by trying to preach, he only erred not stopping when asked to. And its best we set our verdict and opinion on dt not on other events.

Funny thing is that the same slowpoke would have lied to his teeth to get UK visa, lied to his teeth to claim refugee status, lied to his teeth to get immigration and other government documents or IDs , and may probably lie to his teeth to be on the dole.

Then he hops on a bus and starts preaching , making no connections between his own moral shortcomings and the crap he thinks he is preaching.

I just wonder how someone from a certified FAILED STATE can run and lie his way to a Better , Working Society, then starts telling the people , on whose benevolence he depends, that they should adopt his primitive worldview , , .same primitive worldview that renders him an economic refugee.

I always amazes me when I see third world economic refugees( particularly Nigerians) , hawking Stone-age myths to the modern citizens of their benefactor nations.

Religion is Stuuuuupid.

And I guess u have personal wkanta wit religion dts why u call it stupid, stone aged and strive among d third world. Think u might need to check well. Documented fact of religious and highly fanatical countries and individuals whose economy are bigger and better than d so called non religious.
Bad economy is not a function of religion or beliefs, its based on good leadership couple wit good decision and determination. Wealth and poverty cut across all levels of life and nations irrespective of religion tribe tongues or color.

Bro. Ur expressions are full of assumptions. U don't have to do dt to prove ur points becos obviously u would have turned out to be lying about d man too, d same sin u wrongly condemned him of. Let's stay within facts and not fall into unproven literature.

AfricanFinest:
Are you making any sense?
BC I can't even get any of your point.
Meanwhile I care less.

Ok then.

AfricanFinest:
I will glady come back again with another monicker...
Do you think am scared of ban when I know am doing what's right??
Think again. Coward

Ban? U r funny o. Maybe u need Seun to publish d moniker of his admins for u to kno wat u r in for. Who's talking about ban here. My dear, u ll b paid wit d cowries u tendered.

A nairaland link is suspicious to you?
Bring it on if you so which.

Guess u just opened ds ur account. U ll soon open another when ds one is taking care of.

In as much as I have my own candid opinion,i noticed that other people`s opinion differs.
I personally think that an elected senator is more powerful than an appointed minister(with all things being equal) but also I figured out that here in Nigeria, things are somehow different with regards to a minister having more than one portfolios.
Please fellow nairalanders who do you think Is more powerful





Moderator please I need to get as much response as possible
Cc lalasticlala

Comparing A Minister & Senator As An Individual.
The minister can be more influential than d senator to d populace and country at large due to d size of thr responsibilities. A senator on d other hand will be more powerful 1stly becos he rest on d election by d people and can hardly b removed witout legal process. He can also exercise his power over a minister thru summoning. Yet a minister influence override such of an ordinary minister in affecting d ppl. Hence d reason why ppl will mostly kno about Fashola now in most states than knowing one of thr senators. And d reason u kno Diezeni more than senators from Bayelsa especially d regular ppl without flair for politics.

So Ministers Are More Influential, Senators Are More Powerful.
NOTE: I assumed a decent political environment.

A friend of mine, who's also a member of this forum, came to our office some days back and persuaded me to show some of my designs here.
I actually didn't accept, but he showed me some 3Ds that have been showcased here by different designers. Please this in anyway does not translate to advert, it's a simply a way of exhibiting these 3Ds, especially to other Architects here.

The drawings am going to upload here are some of the some of works which have defined my 2015 in this profession.

1. 3 blocks of detached duplex

these projects were for a popular movie producer (Wont mention his name ). The three buildings are identical from exterior. But their floor plans are different.
The project was executed at Obibi-Ezena, in Imo state. 2 of the buildings belong to brothers who live in south Africa.

Where are we heading in this Nation? I'm using this medium to send general warning to all men who own cars, to be mindful of who they carry as lift on the highways.

I had a bitter encounter with a devilish lady yesterday. I went to Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye Ogun State to meet my wife who is also a secretary there, as regard the admission of our Son.

At about 4pm when returning to Ijebu Ode from Ago Iwoye, two ladies waved me down and pleaded for a lift to Ijebu Ode. When we got to Cocoa Cola round about before Kara, one of the ladies alighted with appreciation.

On getting to Molipa Junction at Ibadan Garage, the second lady opted to alight. But to my surprise, immediately I stopped, she just furiously held my cloth and started screaming:

"Pay me my money...pay me my money, since yesterday you used me and decided to dump me without payment--useless man"---said lady

I was shocked! Suddenly, people began to gather around us. She refused to come down from the car, claiming I carried her overnight and refused to redeem my part.

I indeed felt shameful and embarrassed as a Pastor. I shed tears!

When people asked her the cost, she claimed N50,000. I shouted - haaaaa aaa aaa aaa ah! N50 what? - I asked.

Shamefully, people around had started believing her while some still never believed. Eventually, people said I should give her some amount but she remained adamant, saying our agreement was N50K.

With eyes full of tears, I gave my ATM to someone there to go to nearby first bank to withdraw N50K.

But Openly there, I began to curse her. I cursed her career, cursed her marriage, cursed her future, cursed her fruit of the womb....

Callously, she collected the N50K and left. It was very shameful and embarrassing. She abused, insulted me even almost slapping me and carted away N50K.

This is my sad encounter with OLOSHO. I advise all men to be very careful of carrying lift.

Sir,

I will stay to believe u because i have seen such happened in PH in 2010 around Nkpogu Junction Trans Amadi.

D lady so aggressive torn d man's shirt. D man was just surprised and quiet as people gathered accusing him of evil. His saving grace was a soldier who fortunately was passing by dt time. The soldier intervene and asked d man to say d truth before he finds out himsef. D man insisted dt he never ever practiced such before dt he is happily married, he just helped d lady from Garrison b/stop.

Then d soldier man asked d most daring question dt killed d situation. he asked d lady " did u say he carried u ds morning to d hotel and after doing all he then wanted to drop u here? D lady confirm affirmatively YES. Then d soldier asked her, is d man on boxer or pant and wat is d color d underwear.

With little silence d lady said its boxer and plain dark blue. D soldier then begged d man to show part of his underwear. Immediately d soldier saw d color and type of underwear, a heavy and deadly slap was observed from d soldier to d deadly lady. Alas d man was on white pant.

I believe she will never engage in such again with further beating and cursing she experienced.

Sorry for ur situation sir.

Well, i just created ds account to support ur post.
