This is a very foolish question, what's the business of the peace committee with the electoral law. How come some of us are so uneducated about very little things, na wa o

Honestly one wonders how folks understand politics or elections. Politics is a game of numbers and building of bridges to pursue common interests but how do you hope to gather the numbers when all you do is to malign and throw all manner of insults at people you should be building bridges with. How do you win elections like this. omo na wa o!

Sorry I have to say this, Bishop Oyedepo is very good at reverse psycology, after the visit to the Atiku/obj reconciliation meeting, he declared 7 days of prayer and fasting for Nigeria immediately, now He is prophesying that Nigeria will be great among the Nations of the world. It's high time we begin to see our Pastors true love for Nigeria in the way and manner they conduct themselves especially to people who do not share the same beliefs with them. It should be in deeds and not in words cos talk is cheap.

HigherEd:
I agree the church should be regulated directly on matters relating to finances and sort. But a govt cannot stop a 'pastor' from feeding his members grass. A govt cannot sanction a 'pastor' who sleeps with members. A govt can't question or determine the legitimacy of a pastor who divorces his wife but remains a pastor. A govt can't determine the acceptable way of preaching tithing. This is why self regulation is important in line with agreed constitution.

Of course PFN and CAN must be overhauled completely to be more effective and less political.

Self regulation cannot work as he or she who have no sin must be the first to cast a stone. Let the Govt do the one it can do and let God be the judge of the other issues. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. The Pastors know themselves and everyone knows what's up so who will regulate who!

HigherEd:
Valid point. They should all stay away from politics. Whether credible news or not i think he should just do like Oyakhilomhe, Olukoya and avoid Nigerian politics completely.

I think it is time the Pentecostal movement gets a structure. The govt should give PFN or CAN the powers for self regulation in line with whatever Christianity means to all of us and document it as a constitution. Watching a mentally disturbed 'pastor' slam members in church is very heart breaking and a mockery to this religion. Such kind of church ought to be closed immediately and members dispersed but CAN or PFN has no such powers.

There is chaos in the church formation and it keeps me awake at night - everyone does as they please and make a mockery of the system. There is no accountability on church income, by now a reformed PFN or CAN should have forced her members to make annual disclosures on church income and expenditure.

There ought to be regulations from CAN forcing bakare, osinbanjo and okotie and the likes to temporarily step aside before vying for office.

What about regulations banning politicians from contributing to church projects

Churches should also start having accountable leadership. I expect winners supreme council would ban further political commentaries by any of its leaders but i know that wouldn't happen as our pastors are too powerful than the structures meant to hold them accountable.

CAN and PFN has been compromised, they will always go for the highest bidder. Secondly the body of Christ is too divided for any self regulation as a lot of Christians and Church leaders are too neck dipped in corruption. The Church In Nigeria needs serious cleansing and I will seriously support any Govt in future that will turn its searchlight on church organizations in the fight against corruption, after all churches are suppose to exist with the highest form of integrity as exemplified by Christ.

A lot of folks forget that as soon as a Church is registered by the CAC, by law it ceases to be the property of any individual or group of persons, it becomes a civil organization that is subject to the laws of the land and can sue and can be sued. Lots of folks are unaware that any member of the board of trustees of a church cannot earn salary or any allowance from the church unless he or she is not a trustee. Churches are also suppose to pay annual returns to CAC and declare their annual income and expenditure according to the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria and also hold Annual General Meetings to declare their finances to their registered members. It's high time our churches are run according to the dictates of the law except they are not registered with CAC. It is when these Churches are properly regulated by our laws that true accountability can return to our churches and the leaders can be held accountable but for now anything goes.

The damage had already been done. If any pastor wants to comment on any political issue, let him do it from his bedroom or his personal office using facebook live. Using the altar of God to perpetuate political lies is a disgrace and I hope the bishop has learnt his lessons.

Let Winners Church also get a political adviser for their bishop that will help him do proper analysis before he goes again to the pulpit to mis yan again.

As a Believer am getting ashamed of our pastors, dem dey fall our hand too much these days.

ihatesycophant:
I'm a member of his church but Bishop he's taken the case of Buhari too personal. If we have to go by his assertion there are so many things that have been written about him in print. In one of his interviews he did said, he has read so many negative things about himself and the ministry but he has no time to be replying them and he buttressed it by saying "a person people are looking at, doesn't look". That he doesn't have time to be replying unfounded rumours.
Now, should we by his logic believed all negative things said about him in the past in the newspapers and the one said by one Erelu Circulated on tape and video that she was the one that helped him to get power.
I think Bishop need to soft pedal and continue to pray for the prosperity, security and unity of the nation.

Bishop is getting too emotional about PMB. He should rather focus on the future of his ministry as no ministry is too big to fail. Till PMB emerged as president, oyedepo has always kept mum on the political climate of nigeria. I wonder what changed as its not as if we have been having godly presidents in aso rock before pmb

9 times champions, kilode nah only super falcons waka come?

Let other Nations win this cup abeg, nah only super falcons waka come haba 9 times kiolde!

komekn:
Oh !!! Ighalo where are your accusers ❓ Have they all gone❓ please go forward in peace and listen to them no more, with your HOLD- UP PLAY and score more goals.

My prayer for ighalo is that he continues to succeed else the supporters he is seeing today, he will see them no more one day o in short I go declare fasting for ighalo. That im village witch wey don die must not ressurect o!

realpoacher:
Oga you are defending the indefensible

When you are under pressure, I mean, when you are under constant barrage of attacks, sooner than later you are going to cave in.

A more tactical coach immediately counter it by making quality subs, in fact any kind of sub would do at that point.

When under constant pressure within the 60-85 minutes of the game.. Bringing in a sub or two will do one of the following

1. Calm down the tempo of the game... Actually, the calming down changes the direction of the game altogether

2. It gives your players a breather, ... It gives them time to reorganize themselves to become more sturdy

But Rohr couldn't see that, he stood by the sidelines allthrough and didn't know that he should had made the change by the 70th minute on the dot

He took too late to do the sub

The same thing he did against Argentina at the world cup. He stood by the touch line until the Argentines scored in the 87th minute

87 fucking minute for Christ sake, while Argentina were making changes all along...

Its obvious Rohr hasn't learnt anything from the world cup hence his stupidity last night... If Libya was a top team, after their equalizer, we would have been buried!

Thank you Sir o, don't mind them. Let them keep indulging rohr like they were indulging Victor Moses until the guy himself tire. Rohr Sef go tire, find im levels one day

wayodude:
Can we afford the non 'legbere' foreign coaches you crave? are those non 'legbere' coaches willing to manage a team at Nigerias level ?

What did Sven achieve with ivory coast?
What did Bob Bradley achieve with Egypt?
What did Avram Grant achieve with Ghana?
What has Seedorf done since he took over Cameroon?

The coaches above the level I have mentioned above are the true A-listers (Pep, Klopp, Emery etc) who we simply cannot entice to come and be following us to play games in Mogadishu lol

Rohr can do better but for me he is doing okay.

By the way, what does legbere mean? asking for a friend.

I don laugh so tey I don forget your question anyway a legbere coach is the opposite of a non legbere coach

wayodude:
I disagree. Rohr has his bad days in the office like everyone does. He is okay in my view. For once we are benefiting from continuity and harmony in the team. Who would have ever associated us with those words!?



Good one Pinnick!
Good one Rohr!

Let's stop the sentiments, rohr is not OK wit his kind of game management. We will suffer in tournaments

kentebemoney:
Are you saying rohr is killing the super eagles?

Just wait let afcon tournament start. He can scrap thru the qualifiers but will be exposed again like in Russia. Don't know what more evidence we need again

charlesemeka85:
you are spot on but the insinuation that a foreign coach is not the way forward baba i no buy that idea. rohr may not be good enough but replacing him with a local coach will dismantle the little progress the teamhave made since rohr took over.

local coach now wey go get like 4-5 slots which will be automatic for our old and recycled local league players abi? bros noooooo God no go gree

If we want foreign coaches, why do we always go for carpenter foreign coaches who have not achieved anything major before they coach the eagles. We keep killing the Eagles brand with these legbere foreign coaches.

Icon4s:
Ok, let me chip in here.

When you make substitutions it can either make or mar you.

When you are leading in a game it is usually safer to maintain the shape that got you that lead.

A team that is chasing a game has nothing to lose if the substitution turns out to make things worse. Cos a lose is a lose. But making that substitution gives them a chance or probability of introducing a player or formation that can change things.

Rohr maintained the shape of that team because he knew they were capable of getting more goals if the need arises.

Onyekuru came in for a sapped out Kalu. Ogu also came in for Sapped out Etebo. Even with these substitutions he still maintained the shape of the team. The only major tactical switch was the introduction of Ajayi for Iwobi. You may say this last substitution came late but Rohr had his reasons for keeping it that late, of which I think it may be related to Uzoho being on a yellow card. What if he gets a second yellow and we had exhausted all our substitutions already?

The minimum we needed from this tie was 4pts. Even at 2-2, we were still meeting the minimum result required for the tie so no need to twist things so dramatically as if u are chasing a game. This is called tie management.

When ur opponent changes a player and the Newly introduced player seems to be causing troubles u may not necessarily need to react by only making ur own substitution. U may just instruct certain players to keep an eye on the new player or instruct one or two players to provide support when the new danger man goes on the offensive.

Rohr cannot continue like this, we can all make excuses for him now because he won. In the real afcon tournament, trust me he won't get away with this just like it happened in Russia and all of us making excuses for him tonight will call for his head then. The signs are too glaring. He can't go far with his team if he doesn't add flexibility to his game. It took mourinho to shout when he saw the game against Croatia for rohr to be a bit flexible against Iceland which we won convincingly. Haba na only rohr waka come

Odunayaw:
Libya equalized & could have won because our players were snoozing!

WTF does it have to do with Rohr? You want reactionary substitutions in 1st half? You think this is Pes we are talking of?

Stop being sentimental, tactical substitutions are made to counter the opposition threat which was what the Libyan coach did and what did your coach do? If he can't react in the first half OK but what about the second half when libya made another change, some players were getting tired so is it a sin to bring in fresh players?

Phemostiga4u:
ok

Or the foreign coach making our boys look like lazy Nigerian youths when we know how good they are. Make una continue o

Tonite's match clearly showed why we performed badly in Russia. Libya made a change in the first half, they scored immediately. In the second half, libya made another change, I told my wife that our coach is not reacting o and before you know it, Libya equalised, if the Libyan team was more experienced, they won't have lost this match and their coach despite just being appointed was more tactical than rohr.

If NFF like, let them stick with rohr until he disgraces this promising and energetic eagles, then their eye will clear. Foreign coaches will never be the solution to our
national team. Rohr deserve not to be with this team any longer

tbaba1234:
Rohr needs to be more proactive with subs...That is how we got knocked out of the WC.

Reason he should go. We have no business conceding more than a goal tonite

Whatever result we get, rohr should go abeg. He will kill this promising team

Even if we win, rohr should go. He will kill this very promising team

Rohr is too conservative for our football. Since the Libya made a second change, I expected a reaction from him. Same thing happened in Russia. The earlier we get rid of this man, the better.

shegra58:
FFK the bastard you're also from ile-ife why can't you come back home and use your influence to win votes for your beloved PDP instead of turning yourself into internet thug?that show what you really are back home you're only popular on the internet

Does ffk has electoral value?

tbaba1234:
I can't begrudge Musa. He was offered life changing money. No European club will offer him that much money. And depending on his true age, this might be the time to cash out before he starts depreciating.

Anyway, it's still a sad situation when your best player in Russia heads to Saudi Arabia after scoring of one the top ten goals in world cup tournament.

Not good for our football at all. Musa is not poor by any standard and could still manage at least two more seasons in Europe before heading towards Saudi. It's his choice anyway, hope he doesn't end up like ighalo in few years time.

ChrisKels:
Cool this be another Rohr Effect?

The entire defence of the SE have moved to better clubs/leagues.
Ebuehi - Ado Den Haag to Benfica
Idowu - Amker Perm to Lokomotiv Moscow
Echiejile - Cercle Brugge to Monaco
Balogun - Mainz to Brighton
Ekong - Bursaspor to Udinese
Omeruo - Kasimpasa to Leganes
Aina - Hull to Torino
Awaziem - Porto or on his way back to Nantes for another loan.
We have never in the history of the SE have so many defenders playing at the top level like the current squad. Could Gernot Rohr have anything to do with it?



Special mention to Uduokhai of Wolfsburg and Akpoguma of Hoffeinhem who are still possibilities now that they have been totally over-looked by Germany.

Cc Dammy

Happy for the boys, just shows that perhaps with a better performance in Russia, they would have gotten bigger clubs with more money but at all, at all naim bad.

It also gives credence to the fact that playing for the national team is a big winner any day any time. I wish them all the best along with my support.

Sad that musa went to Saudi Arabia, with those beautiful goals in Russia.

Victor moses retiring is a welcome development, dude has nothing to offer us anymore. I appreciate his efforts though

Tonymegabush1:
Pls my brothers I want 2 ask since France will b playing against Belgium in d semi finals, thiery Henry is 4rm France but currently he is working in the Belgium technical team how una reason this can task go be for Henry against his country France

that is why france will lose, henry's got their number

after all the prayers, they will still go and fight dirty using all sorts of charms and weapons, Nigerians fear God abeg


This is religous hokus pokus! Nonsense and real poo

Gucciboss:
I go for France. Belgians ain't that spectacular. Brazil missed a lot of chances. French team ain't like that.
Gabriel jesus should have been substituted after the first 20 mins, he was out muscled be Belgian defence. The coach bleeped up.

Belgium will go home with bronze.

you guys should stop using the france vs uruguay match to judge france over belgium. The uruguay team has been playing crap teams like egypt, portugal, saudi arabia before they lost to france, these belgian side came back from the dead against a very swift japanese and a very strong brazil team and you think they will be a walk over for france?

docadams:
England should get ready to go home tomorrow. Time to end colonialism in world cup.

Gucciboss:
I hope so. France has a furious strikers with pace unlike Brazil who are sluggish in front. That match will be interesting. Counter attacker upon counter attack. Can't wait

na who counter pass go win and the belgians look more like it
