You made a lot of sense dear.

The people over sabi so tey dem mumu.

They always see other tribes as foolish and lazy whereas they are the foolish ones because they can never unite to fight a common cause. Greedy tribe of a people.

Just watch as they will come and fight me here now for saying the truth but I don't care though.

WHAT TRIGGERED THE MARTIN LUTHER REFORMATION AND WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST.

Here is the story, and why I think the Church is back to where it was before the Martin Luther Reformation exactly 500 years ago.

1. Before 1517, everyone belonged to the Roman Catholic Church which was the official religion, with the Pope as the head. The Pope had the final say on all issues concerning religion.

2. Pope Leo X wanted to build a fanciful Church building called St. Peters Basilica in Rome. The building was going to cost him so much. Hence, he decided to raise money from the sale of purgatory.

3. Purgatory was invented by the Catholic Pope during the Crusades in order to get more men into the army. The pope claimed he could buy souls back from hell. His soldiers believed him and the practice continued.

4.The manipulation of the people through the sale of purgatory(Offering God money in order to get God's favor) infuriated Martin Luther. The same idea of purgatory was why mandatory tithes and offerings got established in the early Church.
'God gets excited at the sound of coins in the offering plate'.

5. On Oct. 31st, 1517, a Roman Catholic Monk named Martin Luther posted 95 Theses on the door of the Church claiming salvation was by faith alone, among others. He claimed the Pope had no power to forgive sins or collect purgatory.
His 5 pillars were, 1) sola fide( faith alone), 2) sola scriptura (by scriptures alone), 3) solus Christus (through Christ alone), 4)sola gratia (by grace alone), 5)soli deo gloria (for God's glory alone).

6. The posting of the theses happened at the early beginnings of the invention of the print media, just like today's internet. Within weeks, Luther's theses was widespread all over Germany, and all over Europe within months.

7. Before that, nobody had challenged the authority of the Church or Pope and lived. The Church had killed all scientists, historians or anyone who had a contrary view to the Pope. Often burning them publicly or beheading them.

8. Hence, the posting of the Theses was like Martin Luther posting his own death notice.
Ever heard the story of David and Goliath? The Pope was Goliath, Martin Luther was not even a David, he was a worm. The Pope could crush him easily. Somehow, the Pope was not able to. He referred to Luther as a wild boar. Luther often referred to the Pope as a 'lustful dog'.

9. Martin Luther was summoned by the council of Church and State to recant his writings. He declared he wouldn't as he was prepared to die for what his conscience believed.

10. Meanwhile, he remained in the Roman Catholic Church as starting another form of Christianity was not his goal. Luther's mission was to reform the Roman Catholic Church.

11. The Pope declared Luther a non-grata, meaning whoever killed him was doing God a favor. His life was put at risk.

12. Martin Luther was then kidnapped by close friends and hidden in a castle. His physical form was disguised for fear that he would be killed. He had already become so popular in Europe through his writings.

13. While hidden away and in Isolation, he translated the entire Bible for the first time into German from Latin, giving everyone access to the Bible for the first time. From German, it was then translated into other languages.

14. Before Luther's Bible, the Bible had only existed in Greek and Latin which only Priests had access to. You could be killed if found with a copy of the Bible. This gave the Priests so much power, similar to today's Priests and Pastors.

15. As more people read the Bible for themselves, revolts broke out all over Europe as people saw how the Church had taken advantage of them over many years. The Pope lost so much power and the Roman Catholic Church became irrelevant. Luther called out the Popes, Bishops, and princes without mincing words, often challenging them to public debates.

16. Because everyone now had the Bible, different sections began to break out of the Catholic Church every man claiming his own revelation. There were the Lutherans, Calvinists, Puritans, Unitarians, Anglicans, and many more. The differences between them are so slight and insignificant.

17. Each of these grew so much in power, became capitalists and began to practice in new forms and with new languages, exactly what the Catholic Church was doing that led to the break out of the reformation in the first place.

18. Denominationalism then became Capitalism. Churches became more about big and beautiful buildings, selling cajoles to people in exchange for money in order to fund the lavish lifestyles.

19. 500 years after, we are back to where it all began. We are practicing that old form of Catholicism. The church now is about money and buildings, tithes and offerings.

20. Who shall write for us another 95 theses?

500 years of the Reformation. We are still bleeding from those who have held the church under its claws - the clergy.

Trust Oyinbo doctors,dem don change the man complete engine to bring him back to life.

Had it been Buhari was treated by Aso Rock doctors by now termites would have eaten his remains under the soil.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Idiota!

Just imagine this people foolish people o!
After they will be shouting marginalization but systematically disenfranchised themselves.

Whether you vote or not,result will be announced and a winner emerged and nothing you people can do about it.

Stop deceiving yourself because election turnout has always been very low since 2003 after PDP manipulation of electoral processes to its own advantage.

So the low turnout is not peculiar to Anambra as a result of Ipob miscreants sit at home order but an issue that has lingered for past elections where people stay away from voting because they don't trust the electoral process.

That is poll.

This is election.

Willie Obiano got the votes!

Ipob miscreants terrorizing in the social media all the time.

Una no dey taya

Ipob miscreants terrorizing in the social media all the time.

Good move.

Bunch of confused idiotic miscreants misled and brainwashed by one fugitive Scammer called Nnamdi Cownu.

I expected to hear reports of ogbunigwe and gunshots fire in all the polling units since morning from these cowards instead they have all gone into hiding like their Oga.

This is Wike(d)!

Perhaps pulled down by a strong force.
But this seem not to look like the Zuma statue.

This is Wike(d)!

The statue was pulled down.
Though this is not the Zuma statue.

Toto......That sounds familiar. I hope its not what I'm thinking though.

Rest if you will find peace!

The rise and fall of Mugabe.

Goodbye Rob!

She went there on her own volution and both of them planned the whole thing.

This is what so much exposure to social media and porn site has done to our young ones.
All they think every now and then is experimental sexual indulgence.

Abeg make una free the boy jare!

Who ask you

This man won't just shut up for at least a whole day without displaying the effect of hard drugs on him.

Toooo bad!

Most of you praise her for her beauty in her new found freedom but I tell you that behind those smile of hers could be emotional pains and agony.

Don't believe everything you see on the social media because 95% are fake.

Na wao!

I thought he's Ghanian until I read that name over and over and over again to see O'hanian.

Happy married life to you guys.

Even before Tuesday night’s dramatic events, which could yet mark the end of her rags-to-riches story, it had not been a great year for Robert Mugabe’s mercurial wife, Grace. There was the extraordinary incident in which she allegedly assaulted a young model in Johannesburg – and needed diplomatic immunity to avoid an embarrassing court case.

There was the bitter feud with the vice-president and rival to succeed her husband, Emmerson Mnangagwa, which resulted in her denying she plotted to poison him.
Then there was the decline in both the Zimbabwean economy and her own personal popularity ratings. The two may be connected, given that her detractors like to refer to her as the “First Shopper”.

Grace Mugabe’s political ambitions may have been as much about self-preservation as an instinct to lead. She has two sons and a daughter with the 93-year-old president.

Libya is not the only case study to demonstrate that history is not always kind to family members who outlive a long-term authoritarian ruler. At the heart of Grace Mugabe’s extraordinary journey from struggling single mother to the most powerful woman in Zimbabwe is a love story.

In the early 1990s, Grace, a young married woman who had secured a job in the president’s typing pool,found that the president kept sticking around to say hello.
“He came to me and started asking about my family,” she told South African journalist Dali Tambo in 2013, in a rare interview. “He just started talking to me, asking me about my life. Were you married before, things like that … I didn’t know it was leading somewhere. I was quite a shy person, very shy.”The anglophile president wooed Grace over tea and scones, but there were a couple of obstacles to their relationship.

One was the age gap – President Mugabe is 40 years older than Grace. Another was the fact that the president was already married, to Sally Mugabe, who at the time had terminal cancer. “I felt a bit uncomfortable when he proposed to me since he was still married to Sally,” she said.

Robert Mugabe, never a great romantic, took a practical approach. “It was necessary for me to look for someone and, even as Sally was still going through her last few days, although it might have appeared to some as cruel, I decided to make love to [Grace]. She happened to be one of the nearest and she was a divorcee herself. And so it was,” he said in the same interview.

Grace and Robert were married in 1996 in a lavish ceremony attended by 40,000 people, including Nelson Mandela. By then the couple already had two children and a third would arrive a year later.
At first, as she struggled to emerge from the popular Sally’s shadow, Grace was a quiet first lady.

She appeared by her husband’s side for official functions but she rarely got involved in politics herself. Publicly she focused on charity work; privately on legendary shopping expeditions.

Also, nicknamed “Gucci Grace”, she has a penchant for Ferragamo heels. On one spree in Paris she is widely reported to have racked up a £75,000 bill.
But the seeds of the first lady that Grace would become – more involved, more powerful – were already being sown.

In 2009, a British photographer, Richard Jones, tried to take her photograph outside a hotel in Hong Kong. She wasn’t happy. Jones alleges that he was chased down by her bodyguards, who pinned back his arms while she punched him repeatedly in the face. She has since been implicated in several incidents outside Zimbabwe: in Singapore, in Malaysia and most recently in SouthAfrica, where in August she was accused of assaulting a young model with the plug at the end of an extension cord. Only a diplomatic pass enabled her to return to Harare with her dignity just about intact.

Outside her role as Zimbabwe’s first lady, she has also run several failed mining businesses and built her own dairy farming empire on five previously white-owned farms. The former owners had been evicted during Zimbabwe’s controversial “land reform” process.

Grace was learning from her husband, she explained.
“I was very young when I started living with President Mugabe. But he was patient with me and took time to groom me into the woman that I am now,” she said in a 2012 speech.

In 2014, she was slowly unveiled as a potential successor to her husband.
She became head of the ruling party’s women’s league, a position that gave her a seat on the party’s all-powerful decision-making body, the politburo.

She was awarded a doctorate from the University of Zimbabwe, although she was only registered at the institution for three months, giving her the necessary academic background (her thesis, on the changing structure of the family, has never been publicly released).

The state propaganda machine began talking up her political acumen – and so did she. She started holding rallies where she would rail against the president’s perceived enemies, telling one crowd: “They say I want to be president. Why not? Am I not a Zimbabwean?

”The first lady had the active support of Zanu-PF’s Youth League, and some politicians coalesced around her to form a faction called Generation 40 (G40) – a grouping of younger leaders that deliberately draws a distinction with the party’s old guard. But she remained deeply unpopular with wider population, who have been incensed by reports of her extravagant spending.

In recent years, Mnangagwa had emerged as her husband’s likely successor, partly because of his support within the country’s powerful security establishment and among veterans of Zimbabwe’s 1970s guerrilla war.

Robert Mugabe’s move to sack Mnangagwa last week appeared to settle the contest in favour of Grace.

The army’s intervention this week means the opposite result is now all but certain.
