obataokenwa: Mat 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Rev Father Mbaka was raising money to build a house for God and its normal in Bazaar to raise funds publicly. He couldn't have honoured the invitation as he knows very well its about fund raising
But there was no wisdom in his utterances, it has nothing to do with talking to the poor or the rich, so from my point of view and yours Obi was not out o place to say he would make his donations privately, let's not over flog this issue Obi has done nothing wrong, but rather the man of God should be able to apply wisdom when addressing the issue
After Father Mbaka's outburst with Peter Obi last week, people were expecting that he will be scared. However, Father Mbaka seems undisturbed. While speaking today at Wednesday's 'E No Dey Programme', he said he is scripturally right and not cowed.
According to him,Sunday's programme was a bazaar programme where people are invited to support church project(done once a year). He said there is nothing to hide. He gave instances with biblical verses to back up his claim. He recalled how Ananias and his wife died in the bible while trying to be tricky with Peter after selling their land.
He said Peter Obi is his son and he has every right to tell him if he is stingy or not.
According to him,what he asked for in a bazaar was to support God's project not Mbaka's project.
He said no project there belongs to him but Catholic church.Speaking further,he said when you are anointed, you can talk to both the poor/politicians without fear.
He made it clear that anybody who is fighting him is fighting God.
Watch the video on the link above(he talked about the outburst from 59thminute or so of the video).I will share the 2nd part of the video tomorrow.
“When you give … do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing” (Matthew 6:3). This saying epitomizes the mystery of Jesus’ sayings. What does Jesus really mean by this saying
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 6:1 ESV
Well I don't see anything wrong in what the bishop has said, he only requested that the Presidency reacts to such heavy alligations, you don't remain silent on issues like that be it true or lie.
Instead it took the President to travel to Poland to respond, that doesn't seem like a responsible act. And why does PMB always respond to sensitive National issues abroad, it goes to show that something's are not OK, but we are watching to see how far this goes.
I love peaceful protests a lot and cannot wait to see them protesting unclad. Visually appealing "images" is the doing of the Lord and it is marvelous in our eyes.
Beautiful creatures springing forth from the east. Was that why the three wise men came from the east?
Ijenwa231: Your hatred to the Igbo people living in Oyigbo keeps increasing. Oyigbo,Okirika,Eleme,Igwurita are all Port Capital Territory. Oyigbo is sharing boundary with Obia Akpor. What affect Port Harcourt affects Oyigbo
Please nobody is talking about hatred here, I don't even understand what you are talking and this has nothing to do with the ibos
Ekinematics: Like I said earlier, even with Diobu, ph was cleaner than 98% of Nigerian cities then.
Every city in Nigeria has its dirty area then and even now.
No, you are wrong on that, I disagree with you, when I said 1995, the place I meant was Diobu because that was the first place I resided whi;le processing my admission in Uniport when i first came into the city, so i know what I am talking about
Ekinematics: As of 1995 it was more serene than 98% of Nigerian cities, but presently even in the SS PH doesn't rank in the top 5 cleanest cities, not to talk of Nigeria as a whole.
I just asked you a question? is Diobu not part of Port harcourt then ?
Ekinematics: Naa, as of 1995 PH was cleaner and saner than 98% of Nigerian cities. We know it's dirty now, but please don't exaggerate. As of 1995 almost all the Rumus were still villages with bushes covered everywhere. Then there was nothing like hip of gabbage on the center of the roads, nothing like bottle water or pure water. Ph then was 95% Rivers indigenes, not now that it's filled with Nigerians from every part of the country especially SE peeps looking for a better life. It was clean and nice then. Not now.
I am not Exaggerating, is Diobu not part of Port Harcourt City, I am not talking of the Rumus.
globemoney: Peter Obi has many corruption cases not yet opened by EFCC. EFCC will be pouncing on him soon or as soon as Buhari wins.
Can you listen to yourself, Pouncing, if they do they would have brought it up now, I am just trying to dignify you by responding to your message , because from your comments it is obvious you are not into politics, try another section maybe Romance or whatever
Ekinematics: If ph became a gabbage city from Wike's tenure then you are just blind. Ph became dirty since the second tenure of odili and has progressively worsen.
PH had being dirty since 1995 when I first came to PH, that was when they lost the status of a Garden city, so dont blame Wike, they all have failed to maintain the status, PH needs a comprehensive waste disposal policy.
infohenry: So Creek Road is also not port Harcourt.
Creek Road is Port Harcourt, I was referring to the Picture, if the OP had uploaded a Picture of Creek road fine with me, But Obigbo (Oyigbio is not part of the Garden City, if you are based in PH you should know that
BoneBlogger: This is what was removed from the stomach of a woman who thought she was pregnant, not knowing she had fibroid
According to the woman based in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, it hasn’t been an easy journey for her because she thought she was pregnant with child.
She revealed that having to deal with the loss of 3 children to different medical conditions wasn’t easy for her as a mother but the sight of the protruding stomach brought back a little bit of hope.
For almost 2 years nothing happened and she had to go to the hospital to check up and run scan. It was during these scan that she was told that she wasn’t pregnant but had Fibroid.
They spoke to her about the symptoms and she realised that she's had this thing for more than 7 years without knowing what it was.
She disclosed that her devastation was indeed unbearable because her husband had left her insinuating that what she was carrying in her stomach was the reason for his misfortunes in life.
The woman has undergone a successful surgery and the fibroids removed.
OP you can just bring just Oyigbo and make a write up like that, just because you are looking for who to call a bad name, it is a major problem in this country, we have not being able to perfect the act of waste disposal, every state in this country has similar issues.
Igbere Tv has obtained exclusive pictures of the embattled self-acclaimed Speaker, Nse Ntuen, a former member of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly who was hospitalized after bleeding profusely from deep cuts he received while scalling the walls of the Assembly complex today.
Igbere Tv reported earlier of attempts by five unseated All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers to take control of the 26 man Assembly.
The former lawmakers however absconded through the back door, scalling the barbed wire fence when the Speaker, Onofiok Luke and other members of the Assembly arrived.
A source said, “He was told that Obi does not have any corruption case against him and that he does not belong to any faction of the party.
“He was also told that Obi’s emergence has further raised the acceptability level of the PDP across the country.”
This is a wonderful credentials, this what Nigerians should be looking for, you think if Obi had any corruption case against him EFCC or APC would not have announced to the whole world, you can see a man running for an election without any skeleton, what APC had on him was that he was a Tribal bigot, which we all handled. My next VP in the making and My Next President after we finish Atikulating.
OP this your post is very misleading, there's a difference between Port Harcourt and Oyigbo, the garden city status was just for the city of Port Harcourt, as the name implies 'Garden city' not garden state.
Oyigbo is almost and hour drive from Port Harcourt, mind you I am against the both places not kept clean, but you should carry out proper investigation and inform your readers with the right information
Mrsoundoro: Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State Assembly Luke Onofiok and the members of the House Of Assembly have gained entrance into the building & held their seating for the day.
Mohammed Buhari has yet again wasted FIVE BILLION NAIRA that could have served our nation & Army well, on futile political bullying.
So they can not wait till 2019 to win through the ballot, so what about all the daily decamping from PDP to APC, is that not enough for them to win in 2019, I do not know why they have decided to tow the line on unpopular means to win, I believe they have gone mad waiting to die
ITbomb: The moment when the imposter and speaker of Ukana House of Comedy Dishonorable Ntuen ran away and jumped the assembly fence when they heard that the governor and the authentic speaker with 21 house members were in the assembly ground.
Is this for real is that the speaker running away, what a shame
seunmsg: Rotimi Amaechi endured CP Joseph Mbu for years under Jonathan while serving as Rivers state governor, Udom should endure the current CP till parade change gear that is if parade will change gear next year. It is all politics and nothing else.
Na wa Wonders they say shall never end, I never knew I will live to see PMB wailing, this is serious, Atiku/PDP acting like Ruling party, PMB/APC wailing .
Emelcee: Hired thugs of the 5 sacked APC Lawmakers set people's cars ablaze . The APC hired destructive tools are disappointed that their plans of putting the State House Complex on siege has been destroyed by quick intervention of the State Government, the leaders of the State House of Assembly and patriotic youths and citizens of the State.
Thats is all APC can offer, Light will always prevail over darkness.
AlhajiUmani: AKHA COUP BY 5 MISCREANTS FOILED BY 21 LAWMAKERS
An attempt by miscreants who were formerly members of the state House of Assembly had been foiled. The illegal invasion by five sacked lawmakers was aided by some security agents and thugs, who chased out staff of the House of Assembly.
However the arrival of the Speaker of the Assembly Onofiok Luke, who was accompanied by 20 other members marked a tragic end of the comedy.
On sighting the arrival of the lawmakers, the impostors scampered out of the complex.
The 21 lawmakers have now taken their seats and the proceedings is about to commence.
The clerk of the House Mrs Mandu Umoren and other staff are now seated in the chambers.
The Chief Security Officer of the state, His Excellency Gov Udom Emmanuel arrived the complex and had a private meeting with the speaker in the Speaker's office. Proceeding now in progress
Light will always prevail over darkness, what about the Police and thugs that accompanied them, what happened to them ?

It's. Very shocking to read some of your comments and you want the best for this country, you sit in your various homes and take sides with some we all know that is wrong and at the same time you all want a better lives for yourself.
Yes PDP it we all kicked against it, so we all want it to be a way of life now in Nigeria, one Niger republic will take over Nigeria and some of us will not see anything wrong with. Whatever that's going on in Akwa ibom state is wrong and should be condemned by both parties, it's wrong and we should not see it as a way of doing things. PMB contested elections for how many times before he won, so if you don't win today you will certainly win tomorrow. Its not do or die
