Inaugural speech by His Excellency, President
Muhammadu Buhari following his swearing-in as
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on
29th May, 2015
I am immensely grateful to God Who Has preserved
us to witness this day and this occasion. Today
marks a triumph for Nigeria and an occasion to
celebrate her freedom and cherish her democracy.
Nigerians have shown their commitment to democracy
and are determined to entrench its culture. Our
journey has not been easy but thanks to the
determination of our people and strong support
from friends abroad we have today a truly
democratically elected government in place.
I would like to thank President Goodluck Jonathan
for his display of statesmanship in setting a
precedent for us that has now made our people
proud to be Nigerians wherever they are. With the
support and cooperation he has given to the
transition process, he has made it possible for us to
show the world that despite the perceived tension in
the land we can be a united people capable of doing
what is right for our nation. Together we co-
operated to surprise the world that had come to
expect only the worst from Nigeria. I hope this act
of graciously accepting defeat by the outgoing
President will become the standard of political
conduct in the country.
I would like to thank the millions of our supporters
who believed in us even when the cause seemed
hopeless. I salute their resolve in waiting long hours
in rain and hot sunshine to register and cast their
votes and stay all night if necessary to protect and
ensure their votes count and were counted. I thank
those who tirelessly carried the campaign on the
social media. At the same time, I thank our other
countrymen and women who did not vote for us but
contributed to make our democratic culture truly
competitive, strong and definitive.
I thank all of you.
Having just a few minutes ago sworn on the Holy
Book, I intend to keep my oath and serve as
President to all Nigerians.
I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.
A few people have privately voiced fears that on
coming back to office I shall go after them. These
fears are groundless. There will be no paying off old
scores. The past is prologue.
Our neighbours in the Sub-region and our African
brethenen should rest assured that Nigeria under our
administration will be ready to play any leadership
role that Africa expects of it. Here I would like to
thank the governments and people of Cameroon,
Chad and Niger for committing their armed forces to
fight Boko Haram in Nigeria.
I also wish to assure the wider international
community of our readiness to cooperate and help
to combat threats of cross-border terrorism, sea
piracy, refugees and boat people, financial crime,
cyber crime, climate change, the spread of
communicable diseases and other challenges of the
21st century.
At home we face enormous challenges. Insecurity,
pervasive corruption, the hitherto unending and
seemingly impossible fuel and power shortages are
the immediate concerns. We are going to tackle them
head on. Nigerians will not regret that they have
entrusted national responsibility to us. We must not
succumb to hopelessness and defeatism. We can fix
our problems.
In recent times Nigerian leaders appear to have
misread our mission. Our founding fathers, Mr
Herbert Macauley, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Chief Obafemi
Awolowo, Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of
Sokoto, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Malam
Aminu Kano, Chief J.S. Tarka, Mr Eyo Ita, Chief Denis
Osadeby, Chief Ladoke Akintola and their colleagues
worked to establish certain standards of governance.
They might have differed in their methods or tactics
or details, but they were united in establishing a
viable and progressive country. Some of their
successors behaved like spoilt children breaking
everything and bringing disorder to the house.
Furthermore, we as Nigerians must remind ourselves
that we are heirs to great civilizations: Shehu
Othman Dan fodio’s caliphate, the Kanem Borno
Empire, the Oyo Empire, the Benin Empire and King
Jaja’s formidable domain. The blood of those great
ancestors flow in our veins. What is now required is
to build on these legacies, to modernize and uplift
Nigeria.
Daunting as the task may be it is by no means
insurmountable. There is now a national consensus
that our chosen route to national development is
democracy. To achieve our objectives we must
consciously work the democratic system. The Federal
Executive under my watch will not seek to encroach
on the duties and functions of the Legislative and
Judicial arms of government. The law enforcing
authorities will be charged to operate within the
Constitution. We shall rebuild and reform the public
service to become more effective and more
serviceable. We shall charge them to apply
themselves with integrity to stabilize the system.
For their part the legislative arm must keep to their
brief of making laws, carrying out over-sight
functions and doing so expeditiously. The judicial
system needs reform to cleanse itself from its
immediate past. The country now expects the
judiciary to act with dispatch on all cases especially
on corruption, serious financial crimes or abuse of
office. It is only when the three arms act
constitutionally that government will be enabled to
serve the country optimally and avoid the confusion
all too often bedeviling governance today.
Elsewhere relations between Abuja and the States
have to be clarified if we are to serve the country
better. Constitutionally there are limits to powers of
each of the three tiers of government but that
should not mean the Federal Government should fold
its arms and close its eyes to what is going on in the
states and local governments. Not least the
operations of the Local Government Joint Account.
While the Federal Government can not interfere in
the details of its operations it will ensure that the
gross corruption at the local level is checked. As far
as the constitution allows me I will try to ensure that
there is responsible and accountable governance at
all levels of government in the country. For I will not
have kept my own trust with the Nigerian people if I
allow others abuse theirs under my watch.
However, no matter how well organized the
governments of the federation are they can not
succeed without the support, understanding and
cooperation of labour unions, organized private
sector, the press and civil society organizations. I
appeal to employers and workers alike to unite in
raising productivity so that everybody will have the
opportunity to share in increased prosperity. The
Nigerian press is the most vibrant in Africa. My
appeal to the media today – and this includes the
social media – is to exercise its considerable powers
with responsibility and patriotism.
My appeal for unity is predicated on the seriousness
of the legacy we are getting into. With depleted
foreign reserves, falling oil prices, leakages and
debts the Nigerian economy is in deep trouble and
will require careful management to bring it round
and to tackle the immediate challenges confronting
us, namely; Boko Haram, the Niger Delta situation,
the power shortages and unemployment especially
among young people. For the longer term we have to
improve the standards of our education. We have to
look at the whole field of medicare. We have to
upgrade our dilapidated physical infrastructure.
The most immediate is Boko Haram’s insurgency.
Progress has been made in recent weeks by our
security forces but victory can not be achieved by
basing the Command and Control Centre in Abuja.
The command centre will be relocated to Maiduguri
and remain until Boko Haram is completely subdued.
But we can not claim to have defeated Boko Haram
without rescuing the Chibok girls and all other
innocent persons held hostage by insurgents.
This government will do all it can to rescue them
alive. Boko Haram is a typical example of small fires
causing large fires. An eccentric and unorthodox
preacher with a tiny following was given posthumous
fame and following by his extra judicial murder at
the hands of the police. Since then through official
bungling, negligence, complacency or collusion Boko
Haram became a terrifying force taking tens of
thousands of lives and capturing several towns and
villages covering swathes of Nigerian sovereign
territory.
Boko Haram is a mindless, godless group who are as
far away from Islam as one can think of. At the end
of the hostilities when the group is subdued the
Government intends to commission a sociological
study to determine its origins, remote and immediate
causes of the movement, its sponsors, the
international connexions to ensure that measures are
taken to prevent a reccurrence of this evil. For now
the Armed Forces will be fully charged with
prosecuting the fight against Boko haram. We shall
overhaul the rules of engagement to avoid human
rights violations in operations. We shall improve
operational and legal mechanisms so that disciplinary
steps are taken against proven human right
violations by the Armed Forces.
Boko Haram is not only the security issue bedeviling
our country. The spate of kidnappings, armed
robberies, herdsmen/farmers clashes, cattle rustlings
all help to add to the general air of insecurity in our
land. We are going to erect and maintain an
efficient, disciplined people – friendly and well –
compensated security forces within an over – all
security architecture.
The amnesty programme in the Niger Delta is due to
end in December, but the Government intends to
invest heavily in the projects, and programmes
currently in place. I call on the leadership and
people in these areas to cooperate with the State
and Federal Government in the rehabilitation
programmes which will be streamlined and made
more effective. As ever, I am ready to listen to
grievances of my fellow Nigerians. I extend my hand
of fellowship to them so that we can bring peace
and build prosperity for our people.
No single cause can be identified to explain
Nigerian’s poor economic performance over the years
than the power situation. It is a national shame that
an economy of 180 million generates only 4,000MW,
and distributes even less. Continuous tinkering with
the structures of power supply and distribution and
close on $20b expanded since 1999 have only brought
darkness, frustration, misery, and resignation among
Nigerians. We will not allow this to go on. Careful
studies are under way during this transition to
identify the quickest, safest and most cost-effective
way to bring light and relief to Nigerians.
Unemployment, notably youth un-employment
features strongly in our Party’s Manifesto. We intend
to attack the problem frontally through revival of
agriculture, solid minerals mining as well as credits
to small and medium size businesses to kick – start
these enterprises. We shall quickly examine the best
way to revive major industries and accelerate the
revival and development of our railways, roads and
general infrastructure.
Your Excellencies, My fellow Nigerians I can not
recall when Nigeria enjoyed so much goodwill abroad
as now. The messages I received from East and West,
from powerful and small countries are indicative of
international expectations on us. At home the newly
elected government is basking in a reservoir of
goodwill and high expectations. Nigeria therefore has
a window of opportunity to fulfill our long –
standing potential of pulling ourselves together and
realizing our mission as a great nation.

hate him ( Amaechi) if you like he has proved himself, the election went without violence and the figure of people voted was not up to what we saw during last election that was Mar with violence and killings. Let Wike remove them, the man speak logically by that election.

Don't ever quit the race even after several attempts (Buhari). Learn to be patience even when the provocation is high (Jega and Orubebe). Learn to control your mouth and don't e too pompous even when your husband control all the resources (Patience). Don't allow money to control your mouth, time changes (Fani Kayode). Avoid character assassination and ethnic bigot, those you opposed may be your leader tomorrow, what would you do (Fayose). Election shouldn't be a do or die affairs, remember your relative will also pay the price (party supporter). Don't let oil contracts make you betrayed your people money will finish (Gani Adams).

You can put your own lesson in the comment.

What lesson will Nigeria learn from the former Prime Minister of Singapore who transformed the tiny Island to one of the wealthiest and less corruptible Country
in Asia.
You remember the advert "Lee Kuan Yew did it ..."
Can Nigeria attain that zenith of developments under Jonathan,your opinion.

Dr Joe Odumakin's rally against terror today at TBS at times like this seems to have political undertone, if the rally is against terror as claimed why OPC will be holding AK 47 in Lagos to terrorize innocent civilians in a Democratic Country.
I want Nigerians opinion.

President Jonathan live with nollywood star in Lagos at AIT
is this politics or what especially this moments.

Very good write up but the op did not place it chronologically.
anyway thank you ma Mum and all good mothers of the whole World.

One thing that is proper and normal now is for Lagos State to come out transparently and give proper accountability.
How the tax has been collected and how it has been used, Staff under Lagos State Government need to know exactly, the breakdown of their salary. And considering the Lagos IGR nothing stop Lagos State to pay their Staff the same thing applicable at the Federal level.

Alphabeta consortium is Tinubu company, now on AIT.
The sole company charge with collecting tax in Lagos State belong to the Jagaban of Lagos (Tinubu). The company make six billion a month from tax collecting in Lagos.
The advert says Lagos make #40 billion monthly and the company also part away with #6 billion monthly.

[quote author=bigfrancis21 post=30931513]Igbo bashing has become quite a common thing in Nigeria such that it has become normal to bash Igbo on every single thing, even on things that are meaningless.

You created this thread to ask why Igbo prefer to marry from their tribe. Are you really serious? This is a question you opened this thread for looking for 'answers'? Would you have opened this very thread in the first place had a Yoruba or Hausa guy been the one who preferred to marry from their tribe? Yes or No? Why would a Yoruba parent reject a non-yoruba suitor, and that will not be an issue. In fact, such action is justified. A Hausa parent will do the same and no dust will be raised about it. But when an Igbo parent does the same, then its a big deal. It is a serious issue that calls for serious attention and criticism, then you begin to get tags like ''Igbos are 'tribalistic'', 'they are 'selfish'', it is an 'Igbo problem' e.t.c. Minor issues that aren't issues when done by other tribes become a serious issue when Igbo is involved.

I look around me, majority Ibibios marry within the Ibibio tribe, majority Hausas marry within Hausa, Yoruba within Yoruba, why should the Igbo marrying within themselves even be a question in the first place? Despite the level of inter marriage between whites and blacks here in the US, majority whites marry within whites, chinese within chinese, blacks within blacks, and you're going to sit there and tell me that it is a problem when Igbos prefer to marry Igbos?? Like seriously??

I get your point about love being the most important factor between 2 people from different tribes and there are marriages between Igbo men and non-Igbo women however majority Igbos don't need to look outside for love when they can find it within themselves. The same love you mentioned as important, Igbo men get it from within the tribe. Why look outside? What about culture preservation and values? Why should Igbo preferring to marry from within even be an issue in the first place when other tribes are doing the same? Is the creation of this thread even justified in the first place?

Igbo people are tribalistic, they are evil, they love money, yet you want to marry them? Seriously?

your repetitions are many, haha

And that is simply the message you fail to understand, you are bn feed by the media propaganda. America has brainwashed some people with feeding them with lies.

In the HISTORY of the world, who has KILLED maximum INNOCENT
human beings

1) "Hitler"
Do you know who he was
He was a Christian, but media will never call Christians terrorists.

2) "Joseph Stalin called as Uncle Joe".
He has killed 20 million human beings including 14.5 million were starved to death.
Was he a Muslim

3) "Mao Tse Tsung (China)"
He has killed 14 to 20 million human beings.
Was he a Muslim

4) "Benito Mussolini (Italy)"
He has killed 400 thousand human beings.
Was he a Muslim

5) "Ashoka" In Kalinga Battle
He has killed 100 thousand human beings.
Was he a Muslim

6) Embargo put by George Bush in Iraq,
1/2 million children
has been killed in Iraq alone!!! Imagine these people are never called terrorists by the media.

Why

Today the majority of the non-muslims are afraid by hearing the words "JIHAD".

Jihad is an Arabic word which comes from root Arabic word "JAHADA" which means "TO STRIVE" or "TO STRUGGLE" against evil and for justice. It does not
mean killing innocents.

The difference is we stand against evil, not with evil".

You still think that ISLAM is the problem

1. The First World War, 17 million dead
(caused by non-Muslim).

2. The Second World War, 50-55 million dead (caused by non-Muslim).

3. Nagasaki atomic bombs 200000 dead
(caused by non-Muslim).

4. The War in Vietnam, over 5 million dead (caused by non-Muslim).

5. The War in Bosnia/Kosovo, over 5,00,000 dead (caused by non-Muslim).

6. The War in Iraq (so far) 12,000,000 deaths
(caused by non-Muslim).

7. Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Burma etc (caused by non-Muslim).

8. In Cambodia 1975-1979, almost 3 million deaths (caused by non-Muslim).

"MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS
AND
TERRORISTS ARE NOT MUSLIMS."

Please remove first double standards on Killings.

Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria's "churchiest" president.

The Nigerian President is one of Nigeria's major problems & I have my reasons. He is a very divisive ruler. He clearly drives a wedge amongst Nigerians using religion. In a tensed nation where we have suffered a lot from religious madness & still suffering now, it is the greatest disservice of any president to use religion as a tool of division. Jonathan has
done that & he keeps doing it. A good Nigerian leader will make everyone have a sense of belonging without tilting too much to the right or left. The whole world knows that Jonathan is a Christian & no one says he should not practice his faith but in a nation that is constitutionally secular, a wise leader knows where to draw the line, afterall, his religion is his private business. What are my reasons?

-Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is not the first Nigerian Christian leader but there has been no time in Nigeria's history that this great nation has been so bitterly divided on religious lines. Many are simply supporting GEJ because he is a Christian not that he has done anything reasonable; even Jesus will not be proud of a Christian failure. I am just happy that not all Nigerians are falling for his trick. Nnamdi Azikiwe, JTU Aguiyi-Ironsi, Yakubu Gowon, Olusegun Obasanjo & Ernest Shonekan were all heads of state not one of them visited Israel. Jonathan wants us to believe that he is the only good Christian leader & he has gone to Israel (the first Nigerian head of state ever to do so, that is
perfectly fine but not at the expense of national harmony) where he openly displays his love & affection for the Israeli PM & which cleric has he not taken to Israel? Is it Pappy Oritsejafor whose jet was caught in a dirty deal or Oyedepo who once handed out a dirty slap to a poor Nigerian lady? The undue noise & publicity he gives his religious trips are totally uncalled for, they are irrelevant. How
many world leaders have you seen doing pilgrimage in Israel/Mecca & broadcasting it publicly to their people? And who is funding his religious visits? Is Nigeria not secular? Is it not with the taxes paid by Nigerians of all faiths? Obama is a Baptist Christian but come on. What would Nigerians say if a Muslim leader is always gallivanting in Palestine with Mahmoud Abbas? Or always off to Mecca all the time and sending photos home of him and all the sheikhs of Mecca? Wetin Nigerians go talk? That's one.

-Two, why are his advisers and assistants especially Doyin Okupe, Reno Omokri & Reuben Abati always quoting Bible verses on their social media pages while addressing Nigerians? They always write Bible verses & use them to curse enemies of the President or curry useless sympathies. What nonsense is that? How will Nigerians react if Muslim assistants of a president are always writing Quran verses on their pages? GEJ's camp has not come up with any reasonable thing to tackle the opposition but to call them Islamists. How does that make sense? Jonathan sees everything as a religious war, oh, the north does not like me, they are against me bla bla. Chibok is a Christian town, if GEJ so loves Christians that much, why are our girls still missing? What did he say in Paris during the Africa security summit? He said he was going to build stronger walls for Chibok girls school. Just imagine!

-Three, why is Jonathan always announcing government policies inside churches? Does he think he was voted into office by Christians alone? Or his only audience are Nigerian Christians? Imagine if Yar'adua was always announcing government policies at the National Mosque every Friday after prayers? Won't some Nigerians scream he is Islamizing Nigeria? As a wise leader, you pray
without any noise & get out. There is virtually no church in Abuja that Oga Ade has not visited. So what is the use of the Aso Rock Chapel? He actually said that every last Sunday of the month now, he will be worshipping outside Aso Rock. Listen to him, he said: “Traditionally, we have the State House Chapel where I worship every Sunday. If we do not have the chapel, probably I would have been here one or two times before this time. This year, we have decided that from now onward, until I leave the State House, every last Sunday of the month, I will go to different churches. The reasons are very obvious, not because if I worship in the State House, I am not worshiping God. But I feel that it is good for me to go round and continue to appreciate what our brothers and sisters have been doing.”

How does that create jobs? If you worship on Olumo Rock or go to Mecca, how does that strengthen the falling naira? The Catholic Church has advised him to stop his gallivanting & face his job but mba. I will elaborate on this:

Yesterday, he was at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Area 1, Garki, Abuja for New Year celebrations & it was there that he was telling Nigerians that he will be rolling out an anticorruption plan and how he will defeat Boko Haram. For heaven's sake, when did you see Obama at the Washington National Cathedral explaining how his government will capture Osama? Is Jonathan the only Christian leader on earth? I am not done.

Just last week, he and his wife were at the
St. Matthew's Anglican Church, Abuja for a special Christmas service. Instead of him to celebrate & go home, no, he took the mic and issued a warning to politicians over 2015 elections. Why always talk politics inside the church, is nothing sacred anymore? What if a Muslim president is talking politics inside the National Mosque every week?

In March 2013, there was national outrage. Why? It was once again about Jonathan & his churchy things. The sum of N6 billion was donated for his St. Stephen's Anglican Deanery and Youth Development Centre in Otuoke, his hometown. N6 billion naira. Prince Arthur Eze who was cursing Igbos some days ago if they don't support Jonathan donated N1.8 billion that day & Akpabio dropped N230 million on behalf of PDP governors who later said they were not aware before Akpabio donated. And where did all that money come from? State money? Personal pockets? Where did they get it from? The building itself was donated to Jonathan by Gitto Construzioni Generali Nigeria
Limited, an Italian construction firm which
incidentally was the same company that
benefitted from Goodluck when he was
Bayelsa governor. You gerrit, right? The next month (April 2013), Jonathan was at the opening of Paul Adefarasin's N13.4 billion 9,000-capacity Rock Cathedral of House on the Rock in Lekki, Lagos. He is yet to commission a world-class hospital his government built o or even have town hall meetings with Nigerian villagers & discuss with them. We remember when he was off to the RCCG for help, always running from pillar
to post. Tunde Bakare said: “Kneeling before Adeboye was a clear campaign tactic which also diminishes the president & his office. Jonathan has signalled the the commencement of his presidential campaign by going to kneel down before Pastor Adeboye. See, I am not saying that pastors should not pray for the president but Jonathan is a symbol of an institution known as the presidency. He cheapened the institution by prostrating before a man of God because of perceived political advantage he thinks he can get. By going to kneel down in the open before the pastor, the man (Jonathan) did not even recognise the dignity of his office. If it were a private thing, it is okay for you to crawl or kneel but it is a whole nation. That office has been diminished by a man who does not know the worth of it and does not deserve to stay there for one more day”

He has gone to so many churches that many Nigerians actually don't know Jonathan's denomination. He has been to Living Faith Church of Pastor Abioye. Cathedral Church of the Advent, Life Camp nko? He has been there too. I know some sentimental people will take this as an anti-Christianity thing but
intelligent Nigerians all of faiths will get my drift and will be worried by Jonathan's churchy trends. When Eze donated almost N2 billion that time to Jonathan's home church, Chief Ayo Adebanjo said, “This type of uncaring attitude is now synonymous with these people. It goes a long way to show their brazen display of nonchalance towards how the people feel. How can you explain the fact that a single individual donated nearly N2 billion? It is unimaginable. Before such a person will cough out that much, he must have benefitted about ten times of that from
the system either by award of contract, oil
blocks or even undue waivers. I just hope
they will stop this because it has a way of infuriating the people. I’m a Christian but I
believe Christians too should be above board.”

Attending churches, mosques or Okija shrine is not tantamount to competence. Chinese leaders don't even go to church but we see their progress. We think we are religious but we are just deceiving ourselves. What has come of his visit to TB Joshua's collapsed church? And you just watch to see how Jonathan will keep displaying his incompetence & utter discombobulation, as elections get closer, he will visit more & more churches & he will continue to be milked by streetwise clerics. I don't have to mention their names. You all know them, they keep
deceiving him to feather their own nests.

and there are lots of way to boycott data nowadays. tell me more

1. Ignorants: They are totally ignorant of what politics is all about but want to contribute by all means.
2.Party Member: These are myopic party member who will always advertise their party, even if that party produce Anini they will praise him, they will make us believe there is nobody other party produce that can do it, they are the ones that will praise this candidate today because he is in their party and will satirize and castigate him tomorrow if he later left their party.
3.The ethnic sentiments: These people will never see any good in your political or economic policy once you are not from their ethnic group, they will always criticize you, they are the “it is our son let him do it, it is our turn” even if the fellow loot all our collective resources, it is good so far he is their son.
4. The religious bigot: These are people that hide under religion to impose their candidate, no matter how good you are once you are not from their religious group, you're not worth it to them. They are “the Muslims have been doing it let Christian too do it” or vice versa, forgetting that it is a performer we want.
5. Passerby: They have nothing to contribute, they will either write “Mscheeew” or put unnecessary pix in the comments box.
6.Opportunist: These are the fake Custom's Officers that will tell you Ranger Rover is now N50,000. Like say na for their Papa village them do
am. Here, you will also see the dudes with the MTN cheat codes, telling you Mtn will give so so amount of money by texting a code, and the funniest thing about these people is that they take most of the space.
Add your own

I think it is our role to educate ourselves on the tennet of our religion before we misinform others on the doctrine of the religion.
That is why I find this piece useful to read.

"Welcome to Nigeria, where they claim God send you a Whatsapp and BBM message, and threatens to kill you if you do not send it to 10 people" The most annoying thing in all these is that graduates and supposed learned people send 'miracle message' to their friends everyday.

These messages carry lots of threats - some messages will say you will suffer or go broke for a week if you don’t send them. The story making the rounds on social media recently, is of a woman who was pursued by a rat, fell and one of her legs' disfigured since the fall - and if you do not type 'Amen', evil rat may locate you. You need to see the number of comments. As believers, we need to have open minds, we need to open our hearts and minds to healthy discussions. We need to think. Do you believe God will punish you if you refuse to send those messages? Do you think your destiny is tied to a message on social media? Do you genuinely believe you will receive instant miracles after you type 'Amen' on that post? We claim to believe in God, but we are scared of the future, scared of little things. You broadcast a message to 14 people on social media and believe in your heart that you are going to wake up tomorrow a billionaire.

What is wrong with us? Like seriously, what is really wrong with us? Without hard work, determination and purpose, you allow your destiny to rest solely on miracle messages on social media. Don't tell us you are sending those messages for 'sending sake'.

Don't tell us there's no harm sending miracle messages. Stop it, it is just not cool. I have seen a quite number of stupid things in my life, but this takes the biscuit.

You can broadcast your message all you want, but stop disturbing the peace of your innocent friends. You can go ahead and create fourteen (14) fake accounts and send your nonsense message to those accounts.

Stop spreading your fears on social

media. We are not gullible. Our God is too big to send threats to make people obey Him - our God WON'T do that. Hide your head in shame and leave us alone!

I think we should not create unnecessary panic towards ebola, so that we shouldn't put ourselves in an unnecessary situation.
Yes there is a deadly disease called ebola and simple hygiene can curb it spread, but am afraid if it's not genetically created by the West, two Americans were infected and they were treated by the so to say America that says there is no cure and when contacted to be given the same drug they used on their own people to save the life of dying ebola victims in Africa“ the drug is still under process not totally proven to be effective ” says the Americans but it cured their own.
I am afraid this is exactly the propaganda they want so that the Africans' will take million if not billions to their Country in search of a vaccine.
Remember they benefit from our adversary either in War to sell their weapons or epidemic to sell their drugs.
These same Americans send a bulletin to all their citizens as against panic over ebola, which they debunked all rumour consigning ebola i.e no shake, no touch, don't eat together etc they said this can only apply when the person is outrightly down. Even the bush meat when properly cooked can cause no harm.
To cap it all ordinary detergent or hand sanitizer can kill the germ. We were able to get the bulletin though meant only for their national, but luckily we got it and it has spread all over but we are still sending a lot scaring messages.
Remember Aids from Monkey or Ape's how many of us play with these primates like the West but the highest victims are in Africa, do you know how many billions Africa used to get the vaccine yearly from the West, we may not know because they told our Government the drug are expensive an and individual can't afford it, so government have to buy it. This is another one again from Africa but we are not the one's that used to have sexual inter course with animals but we are the one's that got all animal diseases.
I have not said there is no Ebola, be clean and observe normal hygiene always but please don't let us stigmatized people that has ordinary Malaria so we won't kill them before the real dead.
This disease I no there is more to it than meet the eyes

Mr 17k even if the cost of house per annum is 5k and food is #5 per plate don't tell wat we no already dis kind of post are only meant 4 ur area in Ekiti and there alone not on a web.

One of the things some commentator don't know is that is one thing not to practice a religion is another to start desecrating it, so please do have fact before opening mouth to talk.There is Christian in Saudi Arabia and they are living fine so far they respect the law
You don't go against the constituted authority and think you will go scot free and that is why there standard of living is far above the one in Nigeria.
Nobody is above the law there just like Nigeria where some people are not only above the law but they are the law themself.

Hmm
