Historic event:

The President, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama says he is attracted to the qualities in Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima because he has proved not to be “narrow minded and myopic” but rather one who is broad and fair to adherents of all religious groups as being testified by Christian leaders from all denominations living in Borno.
Kaigama Stated this in Maiduguri at the weekend when he led Bishops to pay courtesy call on Governor Shettima.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference was on empathy visit to Borno to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Maiduguri catholic diocese (1966 to 2016).

His words: “I have met Governor Shettima at different Fora, and I must say I have been very much
attracted to his personality. He is not the narrow minded and myopic kind of leader. He is a leader whose vision is broad and whose hands are large enough to embrace every body.‎ He is also very humble.
I told His Eminence, the Cardinal, that in some places we go, we have to wait for two hours or three in order to meet some government personalities but in Borno State, the Governor was the one receiving us and bringing us in. We came from different parts of Nigeria, and we are Catholic Bishops.
It is our tradition to meet always, to interact, to pray, and to express solidarity with ourselves and those who are in need. We are a voice for the people. Our voice is a prophetic voice. We see where things are good, we say it so. Where things are bad, we say it so.

“This is our mission and today we are in Borno State. We are truly overwhelmed with what we have seen. I can tell you we are already convinced that Borno State is on
a very high level gear of progress. ‎They say seeing is believing. We have come, we have seen, and we are convinced there’s a lot of good happenings here.
Despite all the negative stories about terrorist attacks and so on, there are determined people on ground who have a capable leader in the person of the Governor determined to forge ahead, to inspire peaceful coexistence to encourage people to transcend the temporary obstacles in order that they can build a very solid and vibrant State.
We are witnesses, and I can tell you we shall go from here to Lagos to Ibadan to Onitsha to Calabar to Lokoja to Abuja to tell this story” Archbishop Kaigama said.

‎Earlier, the Archbishop of Maiduguri Diocese, Bishop Oliver Dashe, spoke of how Governor Shettima has been rebuilding churches destroyed by Boko Haram in Borno State, supporting activities of Christian bodies for
all denominations and being fair to Christians in the affairs of Government the same way he is fair to the more populated Muslim community.
I want to tell you all (Archbishops) that Governor Kashim Shettima has been a father to all of us. Under his regime, we are experiencing fantastic relationship between the government and Christians in this State.
The Governor makes sure he carries everybody along as far as his administration is concerned”, Archbishop Dashe said.
Governor Shettima thanked the Archbishops for standing by the people of Borno State through thick and thin. He noted as a leader, he has obligation to be fair to everyone living in Borno irrespective of religious beliefs, ethnicity and from where anyone comes from.
Established in 1958, ‎the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, CBCN, is the organ of unity for Archbishops and bishops of the 54 ecclesiastical jurisdictions under the Catholic Church in Nigeria.

MadamVanessa:



Failed politician

Failed app developer


All round failure.

Wailers spotted !!!!

Only IPOB wailers and social irritants will be making noise. They are inconsequential nonentities. Leave them alone.

Dididrumz:
Peter Obi for a better Nigeria.

I don't understand how someone with his/right senses will listen to Peter Obi talk and not want to give him a chance at the presidency.

Obi is smart, his running mart is smart.
They have good intentions for Nigeria.

#VotePeterObi

Talk is cheap. Motivational Speakers don’t build industries. He has no records of achievements.

gidgiddy:
This is unfair. Should Peter Obi visit the family of anyone killed in Anambra or issue state on it?

If you want to be a leader of everyone, YES!!!

Charity should have begun at home if Tinubu wanted to islamise NIGERIA. These men of God have turned to men of devil, crying wolf when there’sf none.

lordlugards:
Lagos is a no man's land

The Fulani s has the right to have an Emir in Lagos, just like the igbo's have Eze Igbo,

I don't see anything wrong with that

The same Lagos they say is not good. IPOB have an identity problem. Lagosians know themselves. Foreigners will be booted out when Biafra is given to them.

Offpoint1:
It's impossible to say there's no other civilization out there.

If ever a civilization is discovered out there NASA will never make it public. It'll be a top secret and classified information only for world powers and some US top military personnels.

Such information will totally destroy the largest earth religion.

Quran 36:36:

“Highly Exalted is He Who created all pairs—of what the earth germinates and of their own selves1and of what they do not know.”

Racoon:
This motherfucker terrorist again? The real terrorists know themselves.

Yes indeed!!! IPOB terrorists know themselves.

Truthisunique2:
Muric is really foolish

They have now made this a Yoruba Muslim project

I was expecting northern real muslim group to rise to tinubu defense, it seems them no send tinubu that's why Yoruba Muslim have taken their project by themselves

Now they have pitch themselves as having an agenda for northern Muslim (mc oloumo)

If Yorubas did not fight for Abiola, Obasanjo would not have been compensated with the presidency , even though we don’t like him as a choice. At the time, others were saying we tribalised June 12 struggle. But we were vindicated at the end. Again the noise has started from IPOB wailers. Continue wailing, it’s in the gene. Tinubu will win and succeed.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
You have forgotten Edo no be lagos mantra.Tinubu made a video in the last Governorship election which the people rejected and made Pastor lose

Things have changed. The PDP Governor has bungled big time. Ask anyone in Edo state.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Tinubu is from osun what do you expect? We dash tinubu osun, sw votes alone can't make tinubu president, you saw how he was disgraced in Edo, not to talk of Anambra where Obi is from.

Who disgraced Tinubu at Edo State? Edo State where the Oba of Benin received him and almost let out the cat by saying he could not openly support anyone. But we could see where the heart of the Oba is.

In fact, I can say with all temerity that APC will win the governorship election in Osun without any doubt. And as for Tinubu winning in Osun, I can 98% of the votes will be going to Tinubu. The massive crowd is enough testimony that Obituary followers are in for a shocker of their lives. The resounding acknowledgment of Tinubu by the crowd was a beauty to behold. And this is coming after the few days of negative campaign by CAN and some IPOB religious bigots and fanatics supporting Obituary.

I can’t wait for the presidential election campaign to start. That’s when IPOB terrorists and obituary wailers will see pepper.

Ondo and Niger makes 16.

Honjoshy4u:
Kwankwaso and Shekarau that is running under NNPP This man is finished...
Muslim muslim ticket has already been rejected by sane Nigerians

It’s only bigoted Nigerians who will reject APC.

Penguin2:
Your Tinubu that can manage a complex society has chosen Muslim/Muslim ticket.

What have you to say?

Is that a good sign of managing Nigeria’s complexity?

What will be the stake of Christians in Tinubu’s govt?

Christians have nothing to fear. Tinubu was the first Governor to hand over missionary schools to their owners, he started annual thanksgiving service for Christian’s where pastor Adeboye comes to pray. He made Oshibajo Vice President among his disciples. His wife is a pastor of RCCG. No Christian has complained in his tenure. Same thing with Shetima. The CAN chairman in Bornu said he was the best governor that supported Christians in his tenure. They both had plenty of Christians in their cabinet.

What exactly is the fear of Christians? Did Jonathan help them other than to use Oritsejafor private jet to buy weapons from South Africa? Yes they collected bribe from Jonathan and other illegal payments. That cannot continue. NIGERIA has to move forward and must stop the corruption of CAN by politicians. That’s what Tinubu is going to do. Because NIGERIA needs the money to develop.

Tinubu is a curse on IPOB and other terrorists. He is a valuable asset to omoluabi Yoruba.

Obojuju:
“Peter Obi Is Our Candidate”-Says Afenifere Leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo
Peter Obi is our candidate , let us vote for a neutral leader ,let Igbo man rule too ” Says Afenifere Leader ,Pa Ayo Adebanjo

Pa Ayo Adebanjo, leader of the Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has declared open support for the Labor party presidential candidate. Peter Obi , the Yoruba leader said he has lost confidence in Asiwaju Bola Ahmed and Abubakar Atiku , so he will not support any of them
The 94 year old Yoruba elder and leader condemned the common adage in Yoruba language , “ Omo eni kii se idi bebere , kafi Ileke si idi Omo elomiran”, meaning ,a person can not have a child at home and decorate the bands of another person’s child “ , he said such adage should not be applied at this very dangerous moment the country is undergoing

Pá Ayo Adebanjo , who spoke at a program “ Yoruba Gbode” this Sunday 10th , July , 2022 , insists that Labor party candidate, Peter Obi can mend Nígeria , “It is only Peter Obi that can rule independently without the influence of these criminals in the Govt “ – Pa Ayo Adebanjo said

According to the leader , Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Jagaban , sold Buhari to over 200 million Nigerians knowing fully well that Buhari wouldn’t do nothing except completing the Fulani agenda , he said that Tinubu will only give continuity to Buhari’s incompetence .
Baba Ayo Adebanjo spoke of the Yoruba self determination , he explained his position , he said he wouldn’t support nor against . The Yoruba leader said he is concerned about the future of Nígeria in the hands of these wrong leaders .

When asked about the possibilities of the labor party candidate , Peter Obi , who also is an Igbo man , taking vengeance for what Yorubas did against the Igbos during the civil war , the leader said , the problem between the Yorubas and Igbos came from the Fulanis, he said they promoted hatred in Nígeria “ It is time we join hands and liberate Nígeria from them , it is time we elect a neutral person to rule us “ – Pa Adebanjo said
The Sócio-political Organization leader insists that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu sold Buhari to over 200 million Nigerians for his own selfish interest of wanting to rule after Buhari ” None of them love Nigeria” -he said

“ We know Peter Obi very well , that’s why we endorsed him . He will not disappoint Nígerians , let’s put tribal differences apart and vote the right leader in “.- The leader said emphatically.
When asked if the Igbos are trustworthy, he responded harshly , asking if the Fulanis are also trustworthy . The Yoruba leader said that the Easterners are also Nígerians , they deserve to rule “ I am sure Peter Obi will not subject himself to the Northerners like

Nobody knows Afenifere in southwest. They have no electoral value.

Another early morning wailer. Beg you for what? Please go back to your bed and sleep.

This man will be remembered as among those who caused the dismemberment of NIGERIA. They are greedy and selfish.

datola:
These CEOs are earning average of $1 million dollars per annum. That's huge world standard.

And our mitivationer speakers said you can never be rich/wealthy working for others.

I respect Dangotes sha for building world class companies.

I have a friend who is an investment banker in London. Her salary is $1 million annually. She is just in her 30s.

siofra:
A feminine guy who's into girls.

I've been heartbroken ever since the one below was taken.

Please indicate if you're like him i.e you love make-up, shopping, manicure, you're sensitive, kind, emotionally intelligent, you love dressing up in women's clothes, you love fashion, you're rational, woke and open-minded and you also look perfect and feminine.


Thanks.

Are you a lesbian or trans?

Zikojukwu:
Tinubu is as desperate as a devil. He portrays Muslims as inconsiderate people without conscience with no regards for Christianity or respect Nigeria's plurality. Such beast should be allowed to rule Nigeria. If I hadn't lived in the north and mingled with them, I would have believed the Muslim North are heartless. Tinubu is on his own and doesn't represent Islam.

Now, this madness has to stop. Why do you tell lies just because you want an advantage for your Lord and saviour Obituary?

LesbianBoy:
I am not impressed with what I have seen so far from the turn out for Peter obi. The way things are going tinubu evil plan is going to work. He would win

We are just watching you people and having a laugh. You will all see the shock of your lives. Tinubu mandate is divine. No amount of shenanigans will stop it. If you like book space permanently on Twitter and Nairaland, that will not change reality on ground.

Very soon the Christians with good conscience will realise that CAN is a cankerworm that must be disbanded. They have been a tool in the hands of PDP for quite some time.

Honestly, these Obituary followers are in a state of hallucinations and delusions. I just watched one of them brandishing a pistol he will use against anyone voting other than Peter Obi. You could see that he has just finished a drum of nkpurum mirin today. Stay off drugs Obituary followers!!! Lol.

Olaoluwa122:
But at least the two major ones..need to be accommodated for a sense of equity and fairness

It’s an exercise in futility because Tinubu will not win such election by picking a northern minority. This is reality. Live with it. Politicians are thinking of winning election first and foremost.

candidtalk:
Why are you people so mentally lazy? How do you run your private lives and get solutions for your everyday challenges?

Simple Google search you guys cannot do. You're both examples of the poor human resources causing Nigeria to fail.

What you have just stated is what was going through my mind when I was reading their comments. We have a generation of youth who have no clue on how to get themselves out of a hole. They can’t think of investigating and how to investigate. That’s why they are easily gullible to anything any politician tells them. That’s why a teeming number of them follow Obituary, the greatest scam of politician around. They can’t dig into the stench of lies of Peter Obi, because they are too intellectually lazy.

Olaoluwa122:
If you look at the headline I put Christian association not traditionalist,if emm feel marginalised also...they should also speak out

Yes, it just shows that not every group will be accommodated.

Olaoluwa122:
If common sense has elude me because I believe in fairness and justice and I believe Nigeria is multi ethnic state..that each religion and tribe need to be consider and represented...then let the common sense continue to elude me and my family...it is not your common sense

It shows it is very unrealistic request because not every group can be accommodated.

I remember what happened in the days of Shetima as Governor and Jonathan as president. The Chibok girls were abducted during his regime. I remember how Jonathan was genuflecting about the situation and it took Jonathan two weeks to realise the urgency of the situation. Shetima kept shouting on TV asking Jonathan to respond and stop this slumbering. I remember Shetima and his wife used to cry on national TV about the plight of his people. He begged almost on daily basis for more weapons and soldiers from Jonathan. Not knowing that Dasuki was sitting on $2 billion security money, dolling it out like Father Christmas to PDP crooks around Jonathan. Shetima protected both Muslim and Christian indigenes equally. And when he was leaving, he gave the Bornu people the best successor they can get in Zulum. Up till today, apart from Lagos where such exists, I have not seen any other state where the outgoing and incoming governors have related to each other like blood brothers. Zulum has the greatest regard and love for Shetima, to the extent that he begged Tinubu to make Shetima his running mate. Only Tinubu has such rare magnanimity in leadership. That’s why I am not surprised that Tinubu chose Shetima. They have so much in common that this is likely going to be the best alliance of president and vice in modern history. I pray they win this election.
