BushWickBill:
If you lack common sense and intuition then you don't always have to respond.

Simple.

If you don't understand, then don't be myopic. Rather unfreeze your brain and learn to think.

Pastor Suleiman has not talked about true love that will deter fellow Christians from taking advantage of one another. Instead he is pretending to be a defender of the faith with a glorified hate speech that negates everything Christianity stand for.

I don't bloody care about what other people do. But Christians are called to be different from others. If you are killing anybody you think is a fulani herdsman just because your pastor says so, then how are you any different from the Islamic terrorists you are criticizing? H

But hunger has finished what is left of your half bred brain. So I don't expect you to understand.

Until we learn to live with and love ourselves and treat ourselves with true love from God, the Muslims will keep killing us off. Again if you cannot grasp that it is not my fault that you cannot decipher simple logic here.

We have a Christian faith that is utterly divided among its rank and file along so many lines and one charlatan of a pastor is whipping up sentiments instead of trying to deal with the real issue affecting Christians in Nigeria. Sadly gullible people like you don't see he is missing the point.

If you like twist your mouth when mtshewing. Twist it till it falls out of your face you hear?

abeg keep quite jor who ur sense of reasoning don epp. U jst display ur own stupidity by quoting me..
Get off my mention and use another space for ur reasonable and sensible comment abt a loss of life.

You obviously have no sense at all. No surprises there.
Making use of your brain is not optional by the way.

Jimi23:
I wouldn't have. To be honest. Hehehehehe.

Looool

I'm glad this is outside of Nigeria. That's where these guys get justice. Not in Nigeria. He'd have gotten away.

Exactly

Jimi23:
"Tonto Dike's husband" is now his title. "Tonto Dike's Husband Churchill" rather than Dr. Churchill. kikikikikiki.

Hahahaha! But say the truth would you have clicked on this thread if it was "Dr. Churchill with Goodluck Jonathan....."

Dude has become a celeb

Character is like a smoke ,no matter how hard you bottle or cover it ,it will will still come out

Lol, people change sometimes (provided it was their own choice to make that change, and not under duress)

fratermathy:
A reread will show that I have edited the christian-muslim factor and regionalised it instead. In whatever form it is expressed, Northerners must be commended for not being as greedy as Southerners.

I'm not adamant to constructive criticism.

Cool. That's more objective.

Who uses wok in Nigeria

fratermathy:
All I know is that adherents of traditional religions, Muslims, etc, hardly inflate prices. Even within the Christian community, Jehovah Witnesses don't do it but most do bizarre things in the name of business and they'll end up going to church on Sundays to do thanksgivings, after cheating people.

As for liking the article, it wasn't a competition. My message has been passed.

By the way, I'm not the one who illustrated with chicken and egg. I'm concerned more with local produce such as food items, oil, etc.

I know. In my opinion, Nigerians are only religious but far from being God-fearing, both "Christians" and "Muslims", but I would not generalize and say one group is better than the other because they display their evils in different forms.

I would have loved to see other objective comments about the price increases without the cloud of religion hanging over the thread. Was a great read all the same.

fratermathy:
@Ephi123: see the boldened.

In the North, as is common in most Islam territories, prices are fixed and no one increases them to defraud others. The fixing of prices has more to do with "value" and "quality" than anything else.

Same region where people are macheted and beheaded on a whim. Different shades of evil if you ask me.
Anyway, don't let me derail your thread, I only just gave my opinion.

fratermathy:
Nothing ruined anything. We have to tell ourselves the truth. Religion has not helped anybody. We are all hypocrites!!!!

How can we claim to be God-fearing, loving and good when we constantly seek for ways to defraud our fellow humans??

Greed, like one lady said above, is a human thing but it is common among some persons than others and in the Nigerian context, religion is the best way to prove the point.

If you want to start a religious discussion then do so, if you want to have a discussion on recent price increases then do.

As far as I am concerned, there is a cumulative effect, e.g one of the examples you gave, yes chickens do not require generator to lay eggs but you've failed to realise that the transport cost of the seller to buy the chickens and their feed would have gone up, the chicken feed itself would likely have gone up combined with the general living costs of the seller. The seller obviously has to pass these costs on.

As I've said, without the religious generalisation it would have been a great article. You don't have to agree, it's my opinion.

The religious angle just ruined this article, sorry. Otherwise would have been an interesting discussion.

donfemo:
Power really intoxicates that's why Jammeh did not want to step down, and that's why Buhari was interested in becoming president. He fought for 16 years to become president, even when he did not have a plan for Nigeria. All he wanted was power.

You've said it all. Nothing else to add.

Mynd44:
This is really sad coming from a supposed religious leader. It is sad coming from any human being.

So people should kill any herdder whether innocent or not?

In the words of Tupac "I am one black man; I cannot be held responsible for the actions of every black man"

I wonder when we as human beings will stop living via hatred and revenge and learn to express our anger instead of acting like that thing we are trying to fight

People cannot live in safety in their own country any longer. What a shame. Shouldn't that be of equal concern to you?

BushWickBill:
To be honest this religious defending is sickening as it is hypocritical.
Christians malign, defraud, dupe, cheat themselves sleep with other people's wives, and generally destroy themselves while shouting self defence.

They don't know how to defend themselves from themselves.

Sigh.

If this comment accredited to suleiman is true then I have nothing to say.let hI'm be the first to slit the herdsmen throats.

It's easy to talk and give orders from the pulpit.

So it is solely Christians who do all you listed above?

And what does what you listed above have to do with herdsmen killing innocent citizens? We are talking A, you are saying Z. Mschew

Too many issues with NL these days

APCmyheart:
LOL and we the illiterate will rule you and your entire family and your regions combined till 2023..

What do you have to do about that?


Get lost and stop disgracing yourself..

APCmyheart:
Someone is on leave and can spend his leave anywhere he pleased him..


You and your co lots are deaf and dumb and same time blind during GEJ, When he was junketing around the world with hundreds of delegates..

You better shut up and not let hatred kill you..

Better spend your time getting a proper education.

Illiterates on rampage, defending their chief illiterate. Next time, learn to walk past my comment if you have no sensible thing to bring to the table.

Does Buhari look like someone who has the stamina to run a country right now, not to mention in 2019?

APCmyheart:
And when has it become illegal to travel abroad?

Smhhhhh... you guys come up with the MOST foolish defense, honestly.

Is the question here illegality or unaccountability?

Are there no hospitals in Nigeria?

justwise:
They allowed it when they don't complain, protest, use their position in power to enact a law to change it.

They allowed it when they actually voted for child marriage, they allowed it when some of them are actually husband to a child.

Are Northern leaders not Nigerians and muslims? Are some Christians living in the north not forced to marry a dirty old man because its acceptable?

Tell that to your president who is a Northerner. He is in the best position to enact the right laws.

How exactly will Christians who are a minority in the North be blamed for child marriage, what a joke. Please find the right people to blame and leave Christians out of this.

sarrki:
I see that's why wailers are so frustrated this days

"these days"

you've come with your bombshells again.

Arrest this woman and let's hear word!

I don't understand how this supposed trial has been going on for almost 2 good years now! All we keep seeing is billions and EFCC seized houses. The evidence is there, so what EXACTLY are they waiting for?

justwise:
So why are we not protecting about that? That culture has been there for years and these same muslims and Christians here clapping for Trump allowed it. This is my issue with some Nigerians..so hypocritical, we shout and write pages about other country's problem but right there in our own country we are swimming in it.

How EXACTLY did Christians allow pedophilia in the NORTH? How?
The Northern leaders should be held accountable for the ills of their region.

LordAdam7:
It is very shameful that the only updates we hear from this woman is how much money she released to states. If that's the only thing we need a Minister of Finance for, we should just replace her with a high school graduate.

Till date, she has said nothing about the progress of the supposed fiscal blueprint they are supposed to give potential lenders to secure the loans they need to fund the budget, MTEF, and re-position the economy.

Earlier this month, the AfDB president was saying the bank was holding back the second tranche of the loan they're meant to give us because they've not heard back from Nigeria. This is an Adesina that single-handedly convinced the bank to give us a $1b loan when China and the IMF were playing games with us, and he even put his job on the line to give release the first part of the loan on recognition bases. Now, he is the one begging Nigeria to forward our fiscal plan.

And you wonder for something so important, this madam Queens has said nothing about it. Whereas it's supposed to be our #1 priority.

She has not devised ANY fiscal policy for any sector in Nigeria more than 1 yr after she was appointed. Not one. The Rice revolution is currently being spearheaded by the CBN.

What is the Finance Minister doing there? Or does she think her job is solely to find who to give money in Nigeria? Because she go see plenty people.

She said she released N800b abi is it N2t into the economy in 2016. My people, did you feel the money? When there is no co-ordination, plan, or policy; that's how she'd just be throwing money away until 2019.

-Lord

She needs to read this and go have a serious think about whether she even knows her work at all.

Mediocres in the corridors of power.

APCmyheart:
Hold your state and Local Government responsible for once, Why depend on FG and keep blaming FG everytime why state Government keep getting and pocketing their allocations..

Yes hold them responsible, like Buhari is holding himself accountable by traveling to London while asking his citizens to promote Made in Nigeria, right?
Leadership starts from the top.
