All this demented holigans posting front and back here...Am hunderd precent sure most of you are from South Nigerians. Some has not even traveled Out of their region before talkless of seen a fulani man with dagger.

Pls know that everything u posted has other point to counter it in same bible. Go and ask Rome if this the kind Christianity they practiced and you think about a holy Land..

And for your Notice Jesus preached among fellow believers who at-least bought his idea of God and Love among brethen....

Ask most of the Roman Countries how they were able to defend the religion till today.. You think is by laying your life down for a pagan, a satanist who dont even what your God is or recognize you as a fellow human being.

In as much as am a christian, i am first of all a human being. If you peel my skin i would bleed and if you killed my love one, Natural event will take over me and not socalled spiritual crap your guys are preaching.

If you see a man wielding a cutlass in your front what will be thing going on in your mind.... Do think your will remember to quote John 3 vs 16 or even know any 3 word from it.


PLS IN THE NAME OF GOD. LETS STOP ALL THIS FOOLISHNESS WE ARE SAYING HERE IN THE NAME OF CHRISTIANITY. YOUR PRAYER WOULD BE LET WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PEOPLE NOT HAPPEN TO YOU.


This is same shit Armenians believed until it was clear to them if they dont do anything Turkey will wipe them away... Our Christianity has not neared the typed Armenians practiced but when Turkey authorities wiped 1.5million of them their eyes cleared.

Just understand this bible is interpreted in different ways depending on your condition..Christians in Egypt,Somali,North Nigeria dont see it like the one
sitting in his comfort In Lagos or Rome.
Just remember that God is Love, when its time to love we love , when it time for war we WAR
Abuse me like as you can.

So for saying my mind am now all the names you mention in your comments.........

but remember that it takes a fool to know a foolish man.

And it take an hooligan to know hooligans

Politics › Killings In The North: Point Of Order (Religion & Self Defence) by engineerboat(op):
Earlier today a nairalander made a Post as showned below.

https://www.nairaland.com/3571229/inciteful-statement-bishop-david-oyedepo

various opinions and views of backlash followed on by nairalnaders on the OP, and many of who profess to be Christians, normally i don't want to get involved, but reading the various comments i was forced to voice out this, that

"Paul, Jesus Christ, Elijah, Daniel, et.al will be weeping for many Christians today"

why did i say this:

1. Daniel 6: 10:
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

even in the face of death, Daniel open his mouth and widow and prayed to God, never once was it heard that Daniel called the three Hebrew Children and ask them to take Gun and face the king and his men, he did what he needed to do and God gave him the Victory.


2. The 3 Hebrew Children: Daniel 3: 18

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 18But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.


what happen at the end of the day, God gave them the Victory that they desire, they did not take up arms to fight the king.

3. Jesus Christ: Matthew 26: 51 - 53

And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

This is the saviour of the Christian and the world. are we saying we are more churchly that Christ the owner of the church? Capital NO!!

4. Stephen: Act 7: 54 - 58

When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

This is our early church martyr, an examples and companion in the faith.

4. Paul Apostles and the early church.

was summed up from wikkipedia.

Persecution of Christians can be traced historically based on the biblical account of Jesus in the first century of the Christian era to the present time. Early Christians were persecuted for their faith at the hands of both Jews from whose religion Christianity arose and the Romans who controlled much of the land across which early Christianity was distributed. Early in the fourth century, the religion was legalized by the Edict of Milan, and it eventually became the State church of the Roman Empire.
Christian missionaries as well as converts to Christianity have been the targets of persecution ever since the emergence of Christianity, sometimes to the point of being martyred for their faith.

Schisms of the Middle Ages and especially the Protestant Reformation, provoked severe conflicts between Christian denominations persecuting each other.

In the 20th century, Christians have been persecuted by various groups, including the Islamic Ottoman Empire in the form of the Armenian Genocide, Assyrian Genocide and Greek Genocide, as well as atheistic states such as the Soviet Union and North Korea. During World War II members of some Christian churches were persecuted in Nazi Germany for resisting Nazi ideology.

In more recent times the persecution of Christians has increased in India according to International Christian Concern.[1][2] The Christian missionary organization Open Doors (UK) estimates 100 million Christians face persecution, particularly in Muslim-majority countries such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians

what are we then saying,

1. Is the killing appropriate: NO
2. Is the Government doing enough to curb the situation: NO
3. Should Christian Retaliate: NO
4. Should we be more careful: YES
5. Should we defend Ourself: YES

Now to the 5th Point: Defending oneself which many have taken to another level, by calling on christian to take guns, clubs, stone, e.t.c and defend themselves.

Christ in all His teaching did not teach us this method of defend in Christianity.

on personal ground you can decide to defend yourselve with anything, but when Religious leaders start making INCITEFUL STATEMENT, and UNGUARDED UTTERANCES, it brings about utterance.

Can I ask my fellow Christians this Questions.

Do you fight the devil with his own tool.?

I need an answer to this.

Christian today, arise go on your knees and pray unto your God, People are not ready to pray, in the Scripture, People of God praise, pray and won the victory.

1. Jehoshaphat and the Israelites:
[b]2 Chronicles 20: 21: And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. 22And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. 24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped. 25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.[/b]

2: Paul and silas, "They prayed, they sang, and the Holy Ghost came down"; that popular songs, how many are singing it today.

Be reminded therefore that this are not:
A. Takasufe kind of songs.
B. Snailike kind of prayer.
C. Spinelike kind of lifestyle.

I will sum it up by saying that.

"Oh Christian, do not behave like the sons and daughters of the devil, Go back to your God, prayed to your God, live the type of life God wants your to live and watch how God will give your Dominion, Victory over all that seek your life.

You can defend yourself with whatevet means applicable to you, but dont mix it up with Religion

Good evening.

Politics › Gambia’s Jammeh Following Buhari, Mahama’s Footsteps – Falana by engineerboat(op): 2:30pm On Jan 09, 2017
The Gambia’s president, Yahya Jammeh’s decision to ignore a call to hand over power peacefully by the Economic Community of West African Communities was following in the footsteps of other presidents within the region, human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has said.
In a statement on Sunday, Mr. Falana said Nigeria’s Muhammmadu Buhari and Ghana’s former president, John Mahama, lack the moral right to ask Mr. Jammeh to hand over because they ignored rulings handed down by the ECOWAS court last year.

Mr. Jammeh, who came to power in a bloodless coup in 1994, suffered a surprise defeat in the hands of Adama Barrow in the December 1presidential election.
After initially accepting defeat, the incumbent Gambian president, who had ruled the country with an iron fist, reversed his position and called for fresh election.
The ECOWAS in an emergency meeting in Abuja last month set up a Mediation Team co-chaired by Messrs Buhari and Mahama to ensure a hitch free political transition programme in The Gambia.

But Mr. Jammeh has sworn not to hand over power or quit office.

Although ECOWAS is deliberating deploying troops to force Mr. Jammeh out of office if he clings to power beyond January 19, 2016, the head of the regional body, Liberia’s president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, told journalists on Saturday that they would continue to pursue a peaceful mediation and transfer of power.

“While urging President Jammeh to hand over power peacefully and allow the Supreme Court of The Gambia to determine his election petition in line with the rule of law we call on both Nigeria and Ghana to also respect the rule of law by complying with the judgments handed down last year by the Community Court of Justice which indicted them for the abuse of the human rights of two community citizens,” said Mr. Falana, a senior advocate of Nigeria.


“In the case of Obioma Ogukwe v Republic of Ghana the Ecowas Court ordered the defendant to pay the sum of $250,000 to the plaintiff as reparation over the failure to investigate and bring to book those who caused the death of his 15-year old son by drowning on October 15, 2013, at Tema, in Ghana.

“The judgment which was delivered on June 17, 2016, was disobeyed by the Mahama administration without any justification.

“In the case of Col Sambo Dasuki v Federal Republic of Nigeria the Ecowas Court ordered the defendant to admit the plaintiff to bail pending the determination of the criminal cases pending against him at the federal high court and the federal capital territory high court.

“As the federal government could not justify the prolonged detention of the criminal suspect the court awarded N15 million damages in his favour. Since the judgment was delivered on October 4, 2016, the Buhari administration has not adduced any reason for treating it with contempt.”

According to Mr. Falana, since it is public knowledge that both Nigeria and Ghana are in contempt of valid and subsisting judgments of the ECOWAS Court, President Jammeh would justify his disdain for the rule of law by questioning the moral integrity of the leaders of the two nations to enforce a resolution of the body on democracy in The Gambia
.

“To avoid such avoidable embarrassment I am compelled to call on President Buhari of Nigeria and President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana to ensure that they purge their countries of the contempt of the juridical organ of the Ecowas without any further delay,” said Mr. Falana.

He said the ability of his government to pay workers’ salaries from September, October, November and December in less than a record two week period was a huge relief.
You are paying workers half of their salary and you are still owing them 4nonths.

The governor said it was in September 2014 that he had to call on workers to decide whether they wanted a staff reduction or payment of salaries according to available resources when the impact of the economic hardship in the country began to bite harder. He said in July 2015, the new Federal Government which had been sworn in May, 2015, listened to some of the solutions proffered to the national revenue crisis.
By implication osun workers should forget about the 18 months remaining half salaries acruieing to 9months.

This is pure wickedness can you imagine.

The government owed the pensioners 22 months arrears of pension and brought a plan to make the pensioners forfeit 10 months of the arrears, leaving the government with only 12 months to pay. The senior citizens accepted the plan as a sacrifice in the interest of other segments of the state. But while they were waiting for the payment of the reduced pensions arrears, to their surprise, the government allegedly came up with another plot to force them to accept 40 percent payment of the 12 months after a waiver of 10 months was accented into.
Lalasticlala, myd44 this senior citizens voice must be heard. Will you help please
Politics › NLC, pensioners battle Imo govt over 60 percent pension cut by engineerboat(op):
THERE is no immediate end in sight to the protracted battle between Imo State Government and Pensioners in the state over unpaid benefits as Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and pensioners in the South East, have taken up arms against Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo.


The government owed the pensioners 22 months arrears of pension and brought a plan to make the pensioners forfeit 10 months of the arrears, leaving the government with only 12 months to pay. The senior citizens accepted the plan as a sacrifice in the interest of other segments of the state. But while they were waiting for the payment of the reduced pensions arrears, to their surprise, the government allegedly came up with another plot to force them to accept 40 percent payment of the 12 months after a waiver of 10 months was accented into.

By November this year, when the pensioners were getting set to celebrate Pensioners day, unknown to them, the state government had printed forms to be signed by each pensioner to accept the 40 percent payment. Obnoxious proposal

In one of such forms sighted by Vanguard and titled ‘Letter to set off in respect of My outstanding Pension arrears,’ the content of the letter reads: “I,…. of…LGA, a pensioner, having retired from….on salary grade level…with a monthly pension of… “Being owed arrears of pension for 12 months which amounts to 562,449.60 (for instance) do hereby accept to collect 40% of the said arrears which amounts to 224,979.84 which represents the total accumulated arrears due to me up to December 2016, as full and final settlement of all other claims of which I am entitled to make against the state government in respect of the said accumulated pension arrears.”

Confounded by the proposal, the Nigeria Union of Pensioners, NUP, in the state wrote to the governor, rejecting the proposal and berated such obnoxious proposal. In the letter to Governor Okorocha and endorsed by the state NUP chairman and Principle Secretary, Gideon Ezeji and Livinus Ashiegbu, respectively, the NUP said “The pensioners of Imo state say capital No to any partial payment of our pensions and gratuities.

Your Excellency is hereby reminded that monthly pensions, gratuities and arrears of pensions are the only wealth that most pensioners have in the whole wide world. Writing off any percentage of their arrears of pension means writing off their entire life. We plead with you to continue to pay us 100 percent of our monthly pensions and gratuities in full and leave the rest to posterity if all the arrears cannot be paid.”

Similarly, national headquarters of NLC in its reaction, expressed disgust over the proposal. In its letter to the governor dated December 2 2016, the NLC threatened to embarrass the state government if went ahead to implement the proposal and suggested that the state government should rather seek dialogue with the NUP. In its circular of December 9 2016, the state NUP said “the labour’s of our heroes past shall never be in vain. In keeping with section 210(1) of the Nigeria constitution, our pension shall not be with-held or altered to the disadvantage of the pensioners, except to such an extent as is permissible under any law.

We demand that our pension be paid monthly and regularly before or alongside the payment of the salaries of workers. Since the constitution provides that pensions shall not be altered to the disadvantage of the pensioners, we demand 100 percent payment of monthly pensions, arrears and our gratuities.”

Piqued with the development, Pensioners in all the states of South East, in solidarity to their colleagues in Imo state, have taken up arms with Governor Okorocha’s over the matter. The pensioners described Okorocha’s planned to slash the entitlements as preposterous and smacks of mischief. At a briefing in Enugu, leaders of the NUP in the South East rejected the plan totally. Chairman of the Imo State NUP, Gideon Ezeji, said the action was the worst exploitation any administration could unleash on its subjects.

Ezeji said “We were owed 22 month arrears, he (Okorocha) said he will pay for only 12 months, yet he went ahead to say he will now pay only 40 percent of the 12 months and that we will forfeit 60 percent. We wrote to the Imo State government and said no, you don’t make illegal laws against the senior citizens of the state.

A lot of pensioners have died because there was no money for medication. In an instance both husband and wife died same day. If you go to Imo State, Okorocha has been making funfares to create an impression that Imo is well and people keep quite while we languish.” Corroborating, NUP National Trustee for South East, Anwuobi said the leadership of NUP in the zone was asking Governor Okorocha to respect the law and pay 100 percent of the pension, noting that contrary to labour laws, the pensioners had not received any increment in their pension since the year 2000. According to him:

“We have not been receiving our gratuities, yet Okorocha reduced 40 percent from the pension. The last time Imo State government paid pension was in August 2015. Since he came into administration, he has conducted verification five times and the Nigeria Labour Congress has written to the government to pay us yet he has been adamant.”

Politics › CNPP Urges Senate To Scrap EFCC, Says Magu’s Rejection As Chair In Order by engineerboat(op): 6:29pm On Dec 21, 2016
The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has urged the leadership of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria not to bow to pressure or the antics of persons wishing to be immuned from corruption who are working to ensure that its effort to strengthen the war against corruption by the Muhammadu Buhari administration, which its rejection of Mr. Ibrahim Magu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) represents.

The umbrella body of all registered political parties and political associations in a statement signed by its National Chairman, Alhaji Balarabe Musa and Secretary General, Chief Willy Ezugwu noted that Mr. Magu’s rejection is in order, and also called on the Senate to scrap the EFCC as the anti corruption agency has become den of corruption.

According to the CNPP, “recent developments have shown that the EFCC as an anti-corruption institution has been fingered in shoddy activities, which the commission is yet to provide satisfactory answers to.

“For us in the CNPP, the EFCC as presently established and constituted has outlived its usefulness. A situation where the EFCC is being accused of looting recovered looted funds is not only a dent on the anti-corruption agency but also a clog in wheels of the anti-graft efforts of President Buhari administration.

“No matter the sincerity of any President of Nigeria in the fight against corruption, if the head of the EFCC is rotten, there is nothing he or she can do to succeed.

The CNPP strogly urges the Senate to be mindful of the antics of persons wishing to be immuned from corruption, who are working to ensure that its effort to strengthen the war against corruption by the Muhammadu Buhari administration, which its rejection of Mr. Ibrahim Magu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) represents.

“The CNPP has observed that these enemies of Nigeria will stop at nothing to have their way, to the extent that they are now trying to manipulate the Department of State Service (DSS) to rewrite its security report that indicted Mr. Ibrahim Magu. This must not be allowed by all well meaning Nigerians, who wish this country well as the Senate’s rejection of Mr. Magu is in order.

“We wonder why a security report on Mr. Magu should be disputed why security report that indicted Justices of the Supreme Court and some other Judges should be relied upon.

“Does it not speak of double standard? Or are there spanners within the anti-corruption system working to undermine the anti-graft war?

“We warn the DSS not to allow itself to be used by corrupt politicians and corrupt officials of the EFCC, who are putting pressure on the Service to change its security report on Mr. Magu.

“We therefore refer the Senate to an independent investigation by Dr. George Uboh, which detailed the rot in the EFCC since inception. The efforts by the young man to get the eyes of the Federal Government opened on the extent of looting of recovered loots by some EFCC leadership since inception is yet to yield result.

“The Dr. Uboh’s findings and documents in his possession, which the CNPP has seen, will help the Senate a lot in further legislative work on anti-corruption war in Nigeria.

“It is time for the Senate to scrap the EFCC by repealing its establishment Act as the agency has become a den of corruption. If need be, a new anti-graft agency should be established with its members appointed by stakeholders outside the Executive arm of government if we must win the war against corruption in Nigeria.

If the Senate is now the hope of rescuing the country from those who want to hijack the anti corruption war with the hope of continuing the looting of recovered loots by under-declaring how much they actually recovered from the looters. This has been going on for years and must be stopped”, the CNPP stated.
