You are NOT a Christian. No genuine Christian would see the various atrocities being perpetuated by this government and would wish things to continue. You have to be a devil's incarnate to wish such.

I am Christian and my support is for Buhari.

Rareantagonist:
Brethren,
This is a desperate and urgent call from the throne of
Grace that the brethren in Christ are about to make the
greatest error of their lives by selling off their kingly
heritage for a mess of pottage called "change". Change
into what? Change into what happened to Egypt , Sudan, Lybia, Algeria and Turkey which were once flourishing
Christian countries but because the brethren there also
sold their souls on the premise of "it does not matter"
they became the last set of Christians in those countries!
Remember Turkey! It was the beautiful Christian country
called Constantinople! Today it is history! The foundation of the planned islamisation of Nigeria was
taken in 1989 in Abuja by OIC. Since then they have not
looked back! Our Government gave them a contribution
of 21 billion dollars then! Wonder then where the funding
of boko Haram is coming from? They have painfully now
infiltrated one of the biggest denominations in Nigeria and offered one of their best Pastors -a Professor,a Vice
presidential Slot! Now a larger community of that
denomination now promotes this "change"! They did it in
Constantinople ! Remember brethren, that the biggest
denomination of Christians in the North - the EYN has
been wiped off! All their churches burnt. You may say that it is the North it can't get here! They said the same
thing in Sudan, Libya, Algeria and Constantinople! How come the brethren have become so dulled in the Spirit
that they no longer are sensitive?
We may be the last Christians in Nigeria if this grave
error the brethren is about to commit is not averted! Our
Lord Jesus is greatly miffed by our irresponsibilit y as His Followers! How come we no longer hear Him! The
Great shepherd of the Sheep! How come that Christians
have forgotten that this country was made
ungovernable by these same people and Christians are
holding the wrong person responsible? How come? The
signs of the eventual Islamization of Nigeria are awash in the 1999 constitution where Islam, Sharia are mentioned
more than 100 times.! Not a single mention of Christ or
Christianity! You say it does not matter. Now, mark it
you cannot amend the constitution without a bitter
progrom!
Brethren, the night is here! We must contend for the faith and our heritage which was handed once and for all to
us by our maker!
Don't relent, sound this trumpet....We will not be the last
Christians in Nigeria! Amen.

Nawa for you guys ooo. Was Buhari in power in September, 1985. Young man, Buhari was head of state between Dec, 1983 and Aug, 1985. You TAN guys have resorted to fighting dirty with unfounded allegations having realised that there was no way Jonathan was going to win on MERIT.

Jonathan had over 5 years to impress us, but squandered it. He rather spent the time hobnobbing with Jailbirds like Alams, Bode George and corrupt officers.

Let him tell us what he has done over the last 5 years

ochejoseph:
More!

1. GEJ uttered worst statements than --" I would stabilize oil price"during his 2011 campaign, particularly during Dbanj's kangaroo interview. We can revisit that if you want to go that way.
2. I do not hate as a Christian, however, I refused to be stupid and not see GEJ for the fraud that he is.
3. If think security is the only aspect GEJ has failed, then I believe am wasting my time rubbing mind with you. How about corruption? Even GEJ himself admitted to have led us for 5 years without an anti-corruption plan. How about education? the series of marathon strikes which reminded us of the Abacha days. How about infrastructure? Would any government serious about providing infrastructure earmark about 90% on maintaining the government and a paltry 14% on social infrastructure?
4. List out the irrigation projects and verify them online. Simple.
5. If GEJ knew the promises were unrealistic, why did you make people vote for you based on unrealistic promises? Guess, there is a word for that --FRAUD. I was only taking him up based on the target he sets for himself and not even based on what I expect of him. If he could not even score 10% on the exam he sets for himself, then he must be so hopeless.
6. How does FIB relates to running a non-discriminating government? Everyone, but you knows GEJ is the most divisive president we have ever had.

7. On alimajeri school idea, that was really dumb. If you are conversant with the north, these guys have never really lacked good schools (infrastructure wise) but good teachers and poor enrolment. In fact, some of the state governments pay these pupils and students just to encourage them to go school. Suffice to infer that the project does not in any way address the educational need of the north, and has been a total waste of public funds.

Honestly, GEJ's extra 4 years as president is a calamity that well-meaning Nigerians should not allow to happen.

J12:
Judging by his utterances during his campaigns, any intelligent human being can honestly tell that he doesn’t grasp with the ideas of modern governance and economics.
You fail by saying that GEJ has failed in all aspects. You’re either blinded by hate or like most Nigerians, you don’t understand how government and the economy works.
Apart from the security challenges facing the north, GEJ has not performed bad as president in an African country.
His manifesto?
The transformation in the agric sector, the transport sector and the economy in general must continue. That’s the manifesto!

My thought exactly. And infact, most of the ongoing projects are as good as being abandoned.

babadee1:
How will the required funding be available when GEJ and his cohorts will not stop eating all the money?

You are not Buhari and neither are you part of his economic team. It would be largely unfair to judge him when you have not given him the opportunity to lead as democratically elected president. Jonathan has had 5 years and had failed woefully in all aspect.

Additionally, you seem to be making the same mistake with GEJ, if you & GEJ want another 4 years for the latter, you guys should campaign base on well laid-out manifesto on what you would do in the next 4 years and not on campaign of calumny & character assassination. You guys should also explain to electorates what you have done so far on the campaign promises you made 4 years ago.

J12:
GEJ hasn't really performed bad contrary to opposing beliefs. Given the present circumstances and conditions of events in the country and the world at large, I honestly believe that GEJ has done better than his predecessors.

Most of the infrastructure projects are tied down because the required funding needed to develop them are not available. Government is seeking to procure them through a public private partnership model and this requires due process, which takes some time. We don't expect government to solely fund all infrastructure projects in the country, thats suicidal. We should give this government a second chance, so that they can consolidate on foundations they have laid during the past four years.

Buhari doesn't look like someone who believes in private sector participation in social infrastucture development, he is someone who wants the federal government (himself) to be sole financiers and owners of everything that affects our national life. This is not feasible in a democratic and capitalist regime.

Buhari (if voted in) will totally destroy all that has been done since 1999. He may revoke all power and electricity contracts, remove vital institutions setup to facilitate the development of key sectors and industries and subsequently throw the country into chaos.


This is not what we want. Let us vote wisely.

[quote author=J12 post=29652874][/quote]Do you understand the concept of project scope and timing? For Pete's sake, most of the items on that list had time line, and some were set for 2011 & 2012. Additionally, if the use of words to describe these promises ranges from complete, deliver, etc, why do you have several ongoing, inconclusive, developmental stage, etc against the items on the list? I think it's only fair to rate him to have failed to deliver


Let's discuss some of the items you assessed as done--

9. To raise power generation to about 4,747 mega watts by December 2011. (Done). Was power generation 4,747MW as at Dec, 2011? Is power generation anywhere closer to 3000MW 4 years later done? If the answers are NO, who would you in good faith assess this item as done?.

31. To boost agriculture through irrigation. (Done) How? Can you list out the various irrigation projects implemented?


41. To run all inclusive government without discrimination. (Done). How? Every decent person knows this is a lie


34. To establish at least one Federal University in each state of the federation by the end of 2012. (Done) How many universities were established and how many states do we have in Nigeria? This idea sucks by the way; build a university in each of the 36 states?

38. To give 35% of political appointment at both ministerial and ambassadorial levels to women. (Done) Do we have 35% women representation? Honestly, if Mr President failed to 100% deliver on a promise that doesn't require a kobo to fulfil, how would he deliver on promises that require huge resources.
42. To conduct a free and fair election. (Done so well) Not many would agree with you on this?

1. To revive the rail way system in the country. (Done). I would rate him average on this. I am not in the least impressed with the quality trains used, having used train facility in other developed and developing nations.

36. To revamp Almajiri system of education. (Done) I would rate him high in the delivery. But really, is that what the educational system in the north need? How difficult is it to build low budget mushroom class rooms across 13 States over 4 years. Any local builder could have done that in few months.

Like seriously!!! Do you want us to go through that list one after the other? The only item on that list that has been met is -- the Almajeri schools. And I would ask you-- what is, and what has been the significant of those schools? Is that really what they need in the north? If you know the north very well, you would know that they have always had good schools, but low enrolment. So why build more schools that would not be patronised when you can work to address poor enrolment rate in the existing schools?

Common, Goddex, I believe you can do better than this. If you claimed that they have been met, I would be glad you list out the specific projects in place they have addressed/or is addressing each of the items on that list.

Goddex:
Most of these promises have either been met or ongoing

Abeg, leave church mind
. Make u na use your dispassionate mind rate our Oga at the top.

Adex097:
Ehm...from my "church_mind" rating I think Mr President deserves an "E".
And in Uniben where I school,
An E is equal to F.

Dear TAN Ambassadors on Nairaland,

45. To fight corruption regardless of the position of the person involved.

Earnestly looking forward to your dispassionate responses.

Thank you

I would take you TAN guys seriously when you show any country with fantastic employment figures during recession. In fact, in the mild recession we had recently most companies, especially banks went on firing spree. Secondly, there is a great deal of difference between unemployment rate and graduate employment rate. The fact that graduate employment rate in a year stood at 77% does not imply that the general unemployment rate was any close to that.

Honestly, comparing employment figures of 1983 with 2015 is NOT wise path to thread. You guys would be arguing from a losing position.

Sunnybobo3:
Sunday Times, February 17, 1985.

Out of 92,116 graduates (including Nigerians who studied abroad and HND holders) who graduated in 1983, only 21,026 were able to secure jobs as at 1985.

Worse is that fact that out of the 20 % employed, the public sector employed 85% While the private sector employed a paltry 15%. One wonders how the economy survived then?

Buhari was head of state all through the period under review.

Unfortunately, many Nigerians are not capable of logical reasoning. They take in --lies, tribal & religious sensationalism hook, line and sinker.

arsetalks:
What does this refute? He left $43 bn in there right? And oil price was as low as $60, Gej should tell us what he achieved when oil was $145 and the benchmark rate was about $70.

Gej should tell us why we have witness a 30% decline in our currency ( forget the rubbish 13% PDP paid hawks are quoting, just do the math yourself) just because there is a decline in global prices of crude. Why was there not a sharp increase in the value of the naira when oil price was high but there is a decline when it is low.

Gej and Noi should tell us why they did not apply the laws of gravity and or diminishing returns when we were enjoying usually high prices.

Gej and Noi should tell us what they have done with the extra 27 naira on each litres of fuel sold in the country. Why do we still have no functional refinery?

Gej and Noi should tell why no one has been arrested for subsidy scam yet they tell us everyday there is scam in fuel subsidy.

Something tells me Amaechi may deliver Rivers to APC.

swiz005:
Governor Amaechi melted our hearts with
words yesterday. Read and become inspired... "I am
here to test my popularity. They have made too
much noise. The President says we exist only on
posters and billboards. So, we brought a large
billboard for him. If the President is not watching
(the rally) they will give him security report. This
stadium is 40,000 sitting capacity; I built it, It was
built by me. One of them campaigning for
governorship was the contractor to do the roads. He
abandoned the roads and took N3 billion and left,
and now he wants to be governor. A thief will not
be our governor! I challenge them to an integrity
test. Any of them from Abuja to Rivers State, I
challenge them to an integrity test. I have worked
with them; I have their records and they (records)
are in the Office of the Governor. I challenge any of
them to performance. In 50 years, all the state
governments put together plus council chairmen;
they built six classroom blocks, but in seven years I
have built 20 classroom blocks. We have developed
715 megawatts of electricity, but the problem is
Federal Government allowing us to distribute
electricity. They don't want you to have electricity.
Vote them out! We were to give Port Harcourt water;
as I am talking to you today, the Minister of Finance
has refused to move the file again back to the
Executive Council for approval so that you can have
water. They don’t care for you; they want you to die
of water-borne diseases. Punish them with your
votes; punish PDP with your votes. They say He
(Jonathan) is our son, then why can’t we have
ordinary water? The problem we have is that the
EFCC is no longer working. Corruption is at its
industrial scale. Thieves are thieves because we
now have an industry called corruption. They said
the reason why the President is not performing in
Rivers State is because, he is quarreling with the
governor of Rivers State. Okay, what is the quarrel
between the Governor of Akwa Ibom and the
Governor of Cross River that the road from Akwa
Ibom to Cross River is abandoned. Are they
quarreling too? It is more of lack of performance.
So, if the President says it is because he is
quarreling with me, was he quarreling with me in
2012 when he took our oil wells, was he quarreling
with me? He (Jonathan) took our oil wells in
Kalabari areas. He took the whole of Soku; he went
to Etche; he took 41 oil wells and he wants Etche
people to vote for him. I am waiting for the election.
He wants Kalabari people to vote for him. This is to
show you that he doesn’t care. Even the Riverine
people, he says he won’t give them governor that
they should go to hell! Today when the President
spoke in Benin, he spoke in a stadium that was less
than 20,000. When TAN held their rally in Port
Harcourt, they held it at the 16,000 capacity stadium
and this was a South-South rally. The rally in Benin
was South-South; the rally in Port Harcourt was
South-South. This one (APC mega rally) is Port
Harcourt rally. I urge Rivers people to embrace APC
and vote out PDP in 2015 general elections. So
therefore, APC is the solution to protect our
interests. We must go there to vote out the PDP. It
is not about our son or he is our brother. They tell
you that you should not vote for these people
(Buhari et al) because they are Hausa people or
because they are Muslims. But the refinery in Rivers
was built and commissioned by Tafawa Balewa; he
is a northerner and also a muslim. Shagari started
NAFCON, IBB commissioned, IBB started the Eleme
Petrochemical, Abacha completed. They are all
northerners; they are all muslims. NLNG was started
and completed by Abacha, and he is a northerner
and a Muslim. Bonny NLNG, NDDC, Niger Delta
Ministry and so many others were established by
northerners and muslims. What has a Christian
done for us? In fact, when Yar’Adua was alive, Niger
Delta Ministry was working, now, it is only one item;
East-West Road and they say he (President
Jonathan) is our brother. He is not my brother; my
brother is the man who delivers on his services

Another daft stand by PDP, usually bereaved of campaign ideas, other than casting baseless aspersions on genuine candidate in Buhari.

You sound sincere in your queries, but I bet you are still very young. If genuine Christians do not get involved in ensuring the right leaders govern us a nation, who should? Do you prefer thieves? Criminals, or money bag politicians with tainted records?

Do you have any issue with a Muslim-Christian ticket and you would have preferred a Christian-Christian ticket? Well Nigeria is a secular state where people from all religions are expected to work together as one. We should all see ourselves as Nigerians before we see ethnic or religion.

Oh!!1, I reckon you have issue with Buhari being a Muslim and the various false allegations dug up against him. I would advice you to do your little independent research before believing lies being fostered on us by greedy leaders or bigots who are hell-bent on wrecking this nation.

Dlionsheart:
How does being a Yourbaman becloud the common sense of a learned professor and a pastor??

if so, what will he preach to his congregation? What about the work of the kingdom of God that he was called to do - winning souls to the Lord?? As a child of God, was the The Spirit of God that asked Osibanjo to run with buhari??

And blah blah blah and blah blah blah, he babbles on. As if he has fulfilled any of 2011 election promises, or his countless speeches on insecurity.

In another development, I really wonder why the price of Fuel has not dropped in Nigeria, especially now that the international price of crude oil is halved.

If you called this loads of truth attention seeking, then what do I call your post? SMH.

2015 Elections: Papa Adeboye's Top Man, Pastor Kalejaiye, Drops Bombshell

In his most recent column for Saturday Sun titled Press Clips, veteran Nigerian journalist Mike Awoyinfa chronicled Redeemed Pastor J.T. Kalejaiye’s explosive sermon last Sunday in which he appeared to be canvassing support for the APC Buhari-Osinbajo ticket come February 2015.
In his message, Pastor Adeboye’s close confidant and touted to be among the favourites to one day take over Redeemed Christian Church Of God (RCCG) predicted ‘there would be a pleasant surprise in 2015 elections’, telling congregants to ‘go and mark it’.
Sounding angry with the way Nigeria is going, Pastor Kalejaiye, regional evangelist of RCCG fumed:
“Of what use is my brother, my blood brother who is not going to move the nation forward?And you want me to vote for him because he is my brother? Don’t let us deceive ourselves.”
“What are we saying? Let’s call a spade a spade, brethren.Things cannot continue this way. Corruption is the order of the day. You can steal and nothing will follow. That’s all… Brethren, if you don’t do something, something will do you. Wake up!”
He continued, “We have to change our system… Who is a Christian? Who is a Muslim? When I was working somewhere, my boss was a Muslim. I enjoyed under him. My boss provoked me to study further. My boss was always after my welfare. It shall be well him wherever he is today. He is a Muslim. The soldier attached to me was with me for almost 15 years. I never knew he was a Muslim. The day he opened his mouth to say “Sir, I am Muslim,” I said “What? But you follow me to the camp. You do this, you do that.” He said that when it was time to pray he would pray.
“Brethren, wake up! Who is a Christian? That somebody goes to church doesn’t make him a Christian. That somebody bears Christian name doesn’t make him a Christian.You are a Christian yet there is no employment for our youths. People who should be feeding their parents are still being fed by their parents. How many youths can get married today without the support of their parents financially? During our own time, we did our wedding, we only called our parents to come and eat. Today, our children who are 35, we are still feeding them."
It looks like the message of CHANGE is really spreading fast!

Greek gesture!!! An artificial increase few months to the election for another campaign gimmick. Am sure the allocations would go back to 200M if GEJ wins next year. I also found it rather ironic that a whole university, with thousands of students and staff gets far less than what the presidency spends annually on food (4Billion naira, I guess). Insanity!!!!


Try harder mate, am not buying this bullshit campaign post.

http://allafrica.com/stories/201412292790.html

You would stop at nothing to see the General disqualified. Are you TAN guys that scared of him?

Collynzo9:
Then APC should act like the progressives they claim to be and get Buhari's certificate from wherever they are or simply disqualify him for not meeting the requirements.
The constitution is seriously flawed

Sometimes, I would wonder if you guys think before posting. Do you think a GEJ would last a week as president of the US with 1% of his various utterances, actions and inactions. Additionally, the fact that Obama get criticised in spite of his stellar performance shows that-- a sane society hold their president accountable for his responsibilities.

temitemi1:
His opinion and his opinion is nt a verdict... Evey1 can't be pleased with d happening in d country, if people are still criticizing Obama,then GEJ shouldn't be bothered abt people's opinions abt his govt joooor... GEJ till 2019!!!

Another way to look at it. If Buhari garnered over 12 million votes without the support of a single state Governor and the support of other well structured parties like ACN. Obviously, GEJ has no fighting chance this time around.

The truth is, most cabinet members of GEJ who are sincere with themselves, are fully aware the game is up for the clue.less one. Unfortunately for Nigerians, these ones are presently pre-occupied with siphoning more money to last them till eternity.

Ikengawo:
12 million Nigerians would have to change their mind about GEJ (roughly 25% of all registered voters) for Buhari to TIE with Jonathan. I can tell you from my own perspective I voted for Ribadu in the last election because I was naive and young enough to believe in the Obasanjo anti-corruption gimmick. This year I'm bringing people that don't vote to the polls with me to take a stand against violence and intimidation in politics be it riots boko haram and other treasonable acts.

I like the professionalization of the Nigerian government that GEJ has brought about. Our ministers are world leaders in their fields, agriculture is booming, power is reformed and privatized, elections are reformed fair and free, 21 auto manufactures are setting up in Nigeria. In 2020 we will be tied with the US for auto manufacturing and assembly brands in our country. Can you imagine?

Post like this clearly articulates the width of your I.Q and the fact that you couldn't spell the word SUCCEED in spite of the various spell-checks at your disposal is unimaginable. Just as clue-less as the clue-less one.

PassingShot:
You are a pathetic liar!

Tell us what resources are needed to win an election that the North lacks. Maybe you're talking of rigging which the PDP has perfected.

And why is it difficult for you guys to engage in issues-based campaign just for a day instead of spreading hate, fear and unnecessary propaganda?

That dude is really pathetic. He seems to have developed severe amnesia not to realise we still have more states in the north than we have in south/South and South/East put together. Sometimes, I get so perplexed by their archaic like of reasoning.

@ OP, you and your fellow shameless GEJ supporters are starting to sound like broken records. Using the same set of lines, words, strategy and expecting discerning Nigerians to fall to your ethno-religious sensationalism. The truth is -- Nigerians, irrespective of their religious faith or tribe would vote the incorruptible General for his core values which are obviously lacking GEJ.

Americanvisa: is police clearance necessary for visa application

No. May be for skilled migration

kaycome: Congrats bro I have been waiting for ur good news but why are u sounding this way?

Thx. Actually applied for the visa as a get away from my crazy job then, however, I got another portfolio, which has so far been fun. Summarily, not sure if the programme is worth giving up a gud job for. Am gonna take it anyway, since I have got this far.

Hey guys, got my visa grant today. However, still weighing my options whether to stay back or to go. Guess am sounding like a confused person

jennykadry: Call them on the phone. They receive emails 200 emails, do not expect them to reply all.

Did you apply online or paper? When does your course start? Does the ref number consist of letters and numbers?

Letters and number.Paper application. Would call them then

jennykadry: Sure can

Apply with your WAEC result

@all

Awww God bless you all too.

@Goshen

Ring SA and follow up on your application. Did they give you a TRN no?

I think so, my case officer provided a ref number in his earlier corresondence with me. I actually sent him - more like a follow up mail, but the guy "no gree" reply oo. I don't want appear so desperate by sending reminders. What do you think?

jennykadry: I can see Goshen viewing this topic. We have been waiting to hear from you, how far?

Thanks Jenny. Am still waiting oooo. I will horla as soon as I get feedback from them.

ferdimako: Okay. So Embassy never asked you to deposit to the school before visa approval? Thanks!

It's advisable you even make the deposit, without which no school is gonna issue you a CoE; which is a pre-requisite for SVP. I would advise you contact your school on the correct deposit required to be issued a CoE.

And to answer your question. No, the embassy would not require you to make any deposit, but that would imply that would treat your visa application as level 3-4, which would extend your visa processing time
