Another clueless one spotted.

Don’t twist the Bible upside down to suit you.

Jesus was dragged before the court, offcourse if someone takes you to court, the Bible is littered with commandments and instructions to go to the court and answer the case or settle with that individual....That was what happened in the case of Jesus.

However, the Bible warned Christians never to take anyone to court if it was the Christian or church that is offended. It says, Judgement belongs to God and that, we should not take each other before any earthly Judge.

Jesus was slander, abused, false reported were invited against him, his activities, his apostles, many hideous lies and blasphemy....upon all these, he never took anyone to court and He admonished that He should be our standard and example. Even even the apostles acted out and wanted to revenge he admonished them...no wonder, even he left them, none of them took anyone to court, but they were all dragged from one court to another until they were killed.

Christianity today is different, it is no longer about God, it is now a business enterprise and all business enterprises want to maintain certain image and brand before the public, even if internal realities are opposite and they will drag each and everyone before a court in order to gad them from talk or spreading any information or anyone who tells lies or slander them...they are not like Christ and as such not Christ-like and not Christians.

I don’t care what they preach or say, I usually pass them through a simple test and the test is: Will Jesus act this way? If the answer is NO, then they are not Christians, they are just another modern day business center trying to protect their image, which definitely is not wrong, it is their right under the law to protect their image and brand, but you can’t eat your cake and have it.

Don't whip biblical sentiments here! Bible says we should obey ALL authorities - and I think courts of law are part of these. or would you rather wish Mfm members move out en mass to attack the Sahara reporters boss?

You are obviously qouting Bible upside down :


The whole context of ***1 Corinthians 6:1-6 deals with disputes WITHIN the church (members) ***, but Paul does reference the court system when he speaks of judgments concerning things pertaining to this life. Paul means that the court system exists for matters of this life that are outside the church. Church problems should not be taken to the court system, but should be judged within the church.

Also in Acts chapters 21–22 talk about Paul being arrested and wrongfully accused of a crime he did not commit. The Romans arrested him and “the commander brought Paul inside and ordered him lashed with whips to make him confess his crime. He wanted to find out why the crowd had become so furious. As they tied Paul down to lash him, Paul said to the officer standing there, ‘Is it legal for you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn't even been tried?’” **Paul used the Roman law and his citizenship to protect himself***. There is nothing wrong with using the court system as long as it is done with a right motive and a pure heart.

Bible does admonish us to seek redress against the incorrigible outsiders rather than resulting to self help

Lordofthewest:
Lol..why sue sahara reporters unless you yourself have something to hide.The church these days has become an object of ridicule because of some of these men of God moving around with politicians when their focus should be the church and charity.

If the pastor has done otherwise, looking away, you miserable lots will still come here to say that he has been silenced because of the grave 'fact' stashed against him.

The antichrists are programmed in their spirit attack anything of Christ

A girl of this age should not even let her parents know she is in a romantic relationship let alone flaunt a scarecrow of a man as her boyfriend for the world to see.

Back in the days, you'd hide to sneak a letter to your crush through her younger ones.
You won't even risk being caught standing next to her by her parents.

Those were the days of purity.

Kids of this generation have no courtesy or decorum. They'd bring in a boy into their parent's house to screw them in the room upstairs while their parents watch Politics Today downstairs.

You are right.
When last did we see Dangote, Warren Buffet, bill gates or even Glo boss daughters exhibiting this kind of nonsense?

Fellow Nigerians,

The 32nd President of the United States was Frank D. Roosevelt. D for Delano. He served four terms. Unprecedented. Never since. 1933-1945. The fourth term was truncated by his passing. That is, he died.

This man presided over the US government during two great trials.

THE FIRST was the Great Depression, a worldwide economic collapse (not a recession. A depression. A depression is worse than a recession. And this one was GREAT).

When Roosevelt took office from Goodluck Jonathan..sorry, er...from Herbert Hoover in 1933, the US was at the nadir (lowest point) of its economic history in all 157 years of its existence as an independent nation.

For the common man, nothing was working. Absolutely nothing.

Millions were living in extreme poverty. At least two million people were homeless, unemployment rate was 25%, agriculture and industry had failed, and banks had closed down in 32 of 48 states. The remainder had very long queues.

IN HIS FIRST 100 DAYS, even though there was nothing to build on or draw from; President Roosevelt proposed a sweeping (broom yeah? Broom, not umbrella) economic reform, calling it the "New Deal." He formed a "Brain Trust" of economic advisors who designed agencies which supported farm prices, employed young men, insured bank deposits, regulated the stock market, subsidized mortgages, and provided relief to the unemployed.

With unflappable self confidence, dogged optimism, and bold experimentation, Roosevelt's administration floated initiative after initiative that kept the nation afloat upon the extremely turbulent economic waters.

In 3 years (what did I say? 3 YEARS), things improved, the GDP went up by 34%, and unemployment rate fell to 14%. By 1945, it was less than 2%.

THE SECOND TRIAL was the greatest conflict in recent human history, World War II.

America had remained semi-neutral, only indirectly backing the Allied forces against the Axis powers of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperialist Japan.

Pearl Harbour changed all that.

Japan bombed America's Naval Base off the coast of Hawaii on December 7, 1941 with 2403 casualties. FDR declared war on Boko Haram....I mean....on Japan the next morning. (The actual video of this speech is available on YouTube. You will see Lai Mohammed there....oh no, you won't).

A movie of the same title (Pearl Harbour, 2001) has this scene where Roosevelt is talking to his military chiefs and advisers on the need to respond swiftly and clearly, and they are not buying it... they're like "it can't be done"

His approach seemed implausible, impracticable, improbable, maybe impossible.

FDR THEN PROCEEDS to stand up physically. This man had had polio for 20 years earlier and had since then been paralysed from the waist down. His disability was rigorously kept away from public knowledge and he went on medical leave abroad 3 times, no 4 times....sorry...I keep mixing things up. He....but you get the point. He wasn't perfectly healthy, and didn't want Nigerians to know exactly what was wrong. I mean, Americans...Americans. There was no Nigeria then.

(He had on steel braces under his clothes that enabled him to stand up and walk a few steps. He exercised his upper body regularly (swimming) to help him do this. He even had his car modified with hand controls so that he could drive without the use of his feet)

When he stood up in that meeting, mustering strength from his upper body....

Everyone got the message.

That particular scene may well be one of the several fictional adaptations of what actually transpired; but it generally depicts the kind of the spirit of leadership, that man had. Words that followed his getting up summarized the effort.

"Do not tell me it can't be done".

THIS IS A WORD to those who say "PDP has ruined this country for 16 years. Don't expect APC to change it in 3 years"

Even if one does not consider the fact that APC is simply PDP reloaded, and PDP is APC original, that is one of the most unlearned statements ever spoken. Don't just repeat things you hear

Frank Delano Roosevelt's passing shocked the nation to its roots. They mourned for days. He is regarded as one of the three greatest presidents of the US, the other two being George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln.

He was NOT a perfect man, or even a perfect leader -he made his own mistakes- but he contributed his bit to his country, and did so quite commendably.

He was a propeller of CHANGE
An example of INTEGRITY,
And a steward of PROGRESS.

And the hope is that we won't have to wait 157 years to get there. That is; to have leaders like this.

Thank you for reading.

Good morning.

Ekweremadu and PDP: Typical Case of Use and Dump
ON October 20, 2018 12:12 AM / IN
News , Politics / Comments
By Barnabas Nze
Last week, I predicted that despite his sacrifices and exploits for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in its darkest hours, Chief Ike Ekweremadu could still be jumped in the choice of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s running mate for the 2019 presidential election. Since the announcement would have been made before my article would be in the newspapers, I made it clear that it wasn’t a campaign for him, but retrospection on his roles in weathering PDP’s post-election defeat storm to turn it into the beautiful bride that it is today.

More so the man was reported to have told Atiku and former President Olusegun Obasanjo well ahead of the Convention that he was more interested in key issues like sacking the present government and restructuring than in vice presidency, which he said should go to any region that could help brighten the chances of PDP victory in 2019.

Although Chief Ekweremadu has benefited from the PDP, serving in many positions, there are also many others, who benefited far more than Ekweremadu, but turned their backs on the party at the most critical time. While some left before the 2015 election or stayed inside to work against the party, the worst, to my mind, were those who dumped the PDP immediately it lost the general elections, even though they benefited heavily from the party as Senate President, Speakers, Ministers, Governors, serving and former Senators and members of the House of Representatives.
Ekweremadu

Some left because they are incurable “long throat”, who always want to be where the milk and honey flows, but never ready to rear the cow or farm the bee. Some left because of skeletons in their cupboards and could not stand the media trial and harassment of being dragged from one court to another. Even some, who have no skeletons fled for fear of political witch-hunt. There were a few who left out of frustrations, some perceived, some genuine.

But Ekweremadu stood up to be counted when the PDP was down and out, when it seemed like the end of the road for the party, deserted by its teeming fair weather friends and well wishers. Ekweremadu and his comrades- the PDP contingent to the 8th National Assembly pulled a masterstroke at the inauguration of the 8th National Assembly. They did not only become the kingmakers that installed all the presiding officers of the National Assembly, but also ensured that Ekweremadu returned as Deputy Senate President.

Obi’s Nomination Receives Standing Ovation At Igbo Confab In USA
Expectedly, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) didn’t take Ekweremadu’s re-emergence lying low, for they well understood the wider implications. One of the APC chieftains who did not hide his feelings and wider implications of that development was the Chief Chris Ngige, who said that it was a bad omen for the APC that a PDP man had become the highest-ranking elected public office holder from the South East.

His words: “The PDP in the South-East will have oxygen to breath from since they now have the highest ranking person in Nigeria coming from the South-East, that disadvantages us and puts us in a difficult position on our aspiration to make the South-East people to join the main stream of Nigerian politics by aligning with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government.”

Ngige told journalists that Ekweremadu had made the job of the South East APC difficult, but vowed: “You know, there are many ways to kill a rat. You can decide to go and kill it manually, you can go and put it in hot water, and you can use poison – Gammalin. We are back to the drawing table because it poses a problem for us”.
Of course, many other APC chieftains and officials took turns to bemoan the development, threatened that hail, fire, and brimstone would be let lose on him.

But, Ekweremadu had an option- to dump the PDP and defect to the APC. He also had the option of betraying his boss, Saraki. But he chose to fight on faithfully. Beside the covert pushes to have him in the folds to take hold of the South East, there were also open overtures. On one occasion, the spokesperson of the Senate Unity Forum, Senator Kabir Marafa, said “The remaining problem is what we do with our Deputy Senate President — my leader and my boss. Let me use the opportunity to call on my leader and my boss, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, to please defect to the APC and that will seal the whole thing and there will never be a problem.”

On his 56th birthday, the Majority Leader, Senator Ahmed Lawan even waved the carrot of a possible 2023 presidential ticket at him. While paying tribute to him at plenary, Lawan said: “I will use this opportunity to urge Senator Ike Ekweremadu to see through the mist; this woolly environment and take the right decision. You are an asset. I want to say clearly that you are going to fit in perfectly well. 2023 is here (for you) for the taking”.
Ekweremadu survived an assassination attempt in November 2015. He was charged to court along with Saraki for alleged forgery of Senate Standing Rule, which they claimed helped him and Saraki to emerge. It was such an frivolous claim, Nigerians knew. They were nevertheless arraigned, even when there was no mention of their names anywhere in the police report. The Federal Government withdrew the case when it became clear it was an effort in futility.

The police stormed his official guest house in Abuja in search of phantom caches of arms, which many saw as a failed attempt to set him up. The Special Investigation Panel on the Recovery of Public Property headed by Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, who, ironically, was accused by WAEC of forging his WAEC result, came after him. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission also launched an attack when the hostage-taking of himself and Saraki on 24thJuly 2018 and the siege to the National Assembly for their unlawful refusal did not yield result.
Rather than surrender, Ekweremadu chaired the PDP Post-Election Review Panel that turned the fortunes of the party around and also zoned the presidency to the North. He rallied the South East to unprecedentedly become the hotbed of opposition. I have often imagined if there could have been any umbrella to shelter the PDP faithful or for the defectors to return to had Ekweremadu selfishly defected to the APC for immediate political convenience and immediate gains. PDP would have collapsed
patapata.
He also played key roles in the consultations that rallied block votes for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar at Port Harcourt convention on the premises of restructuring, 2023 South East presidency, etc.
Ordinarily, you would say that a man, who paid these enormous prices and played such roles, would have the right of first refusal. But since he wasn’t as keen in the position as he was in issues like sacking the present government, restructuring, and Igbo presidential project in 2023, you would expect that he would be consulted at least.
But as I rightly predicted, not only was he not picked, Ekweremadu and the same South East PDP leaders who held the party together during the tempest, who gave Atiku a block vote in Port Harcourt were also so disrespected that they weren’t even consulted or pre-informed. They heard it as “breaking news” like every other Nigerian.
They were also denied the right to air their displeasure over the slight and mistreatment. Instead, the real issues were twisted and Igbo sentiments were misled to blackmail them. No genuine effort was made to reach out to him and his name wasn’t even mentioned anywhere in the PDP Presidential Campaign Council. Neither the National Chairman of the PDP or Atiku has made serious moves to assuage feelings. It is only Peter Obi, who is left to begin late visits to the South East party leaders in a manner reeking with afterthought and fulfilling all righteousness.
This is another typical and unpardonable case of use and dump. I suggest to Ekweremadu to seriously weigh his political future with such an irredeemably unjust bunch.
As for we the South Easterners, when this frenzy of vice presidential ticket dies, it will begin to dawn on us that with Obi solely nominated by external forces, he is first answerable to those external interests, then Igbo’s. And obviously, Atiku has shown that he can’t be to his pact with the South East. not when we told him that South East party leaders don’t matter.

Just a few months ago, ipobs are agianst anything Muslim and Hausa Fulani and their supporters are slaves, but today, they love and will defend to death a Muslim and Hausa Fulani man, they are now effectively the MuslimHausa Fulani loving slaves.

Wonders shall never end.

These Ipobs (not Igbos ) are ready to do anything to get Buhari out of the way. I still wonder why PMB is trying to impress the South East with some projects (which they obviously lack despite the blind support for the pdp). They have got their minds fixed. So ready to vote for Abubakar Shekau, who was daily bombing their luxury buses in the nirtha couple years ago , just to vote Buhari out!
