Politic is a game.

Forming a coalition to take power requires alot to get strong members on your side.

What will el rufai offer governors to join him

Sitting Governors are very powerful in Nigeria and to have a formidable coalition he needs Governors to join him but from the look of things I don't see which Sitting Governor will want to join and contest under SDP.


El rufai himself is not someone who have helped alot of politicians in the country. He isn't someone that command loyalty from any zone of the country hence him being the face of the coalition wont attract much.


Lastly in all of this I know El rufai is only fighting for 2031. Not being relevant and push aside is killing his ambitions.

Not being close to sit of power is disadvantage to his quest but playing opposition will make people see him more.

[color=#006600][/color]he never said he is contesting under sdp.. When forming the merger he is going to be the leading force of the sdp party..

Emekaonline:
Now I know that many people have brains but really dont use it. The question is what is the essence of money given to state either as grant or Loan. Forget the source, what have the states done with the money? It is another thing if the state did not get the money. Whether you got the money from World Bank or FG, what have you used the money for? None of the governors denied receiving the money but how has the money impacted on the lives of their people in the states. Let them tell us how they spent the money. I would expect the protesters to picket the states and ask them how hey spent the loan. They have not even increased their workers salary and yet Makinde is grandstanding about the source of the money. Many of them are not even paying up to 30k despite all the loans. What a shameless fellow!

you just start typing without going through details.. If you listened to the explanation the governor gave that day i don't think you will be putting this trash here.. If you monitor world Bank projects well.. The always have a slogan for it and that's what the governor said.. How can the president open his mouth and said he cushioned the state cuffer with world Bank loan.. He knows and you know that his imput is close to nothing there.. He has no business claiming to have giving it out

Chinkoalhaji34:
E be like say Makinde don forget say na who dey collect the loans go fit determine wetin na grant.

Na Peter Obi we go blame for this one, him sabi confuse matter well well. Make dem no turn this one to another saga of 'who borrow pass'.

you should be equipped on matters before you dabble into it Mr man

what is different between a loan and a grant?

Is this your thoughts supported by the scriptures?

The Bible provides various perspectives on faith and healing. While there are instances where belief precedes healing, there are also examples where healing occurs regardless of the recipient's faith. Here are a few key points:

1.Faith Preceding Healing
In several instances, Jesus emphasized the importance of faith in receiving healing. For example, in Matthew 9:22, Jesus tells the woman with the issue of blood, "Your faith has made you well." Similarly, in Mark 10:52, Jesus says to the blind man Bartimaeus, "Go; your faith has healed you."
- In Mark 6:5-6, it is noted that Jesus could do only a few miracles in His hometown because of the people's lack of faith. This suggests that belief plays a significant role in the manifestation of healing.

2. Healing Without Explicit Faith
- There are also instances where Jesus healed people without them explicitly expressing faith. In John 5:1-15, Jesus heals a man at the pool of Bethesda who didn't initially express faith or even know who Jesus was.
- In Luke 7:11-17, Jesus raises a widow's son from the dead without any mention of the widow’s or the son's faith.

3. Faith of Others
- The Bible also highlights the role of the faith of others in the healing process. For instance, in Mark 2:1-12, the faith of the friends who brought the paralyzed man to Jesus led to his healing.
- In Matthew 15:21-28, the faith of the Canaanite woman results in the healing of her demon-possessed daughter.

while the Bible teaches that faith can play a crucial role in receiving healing, it also shows that God's grace and power to heal are not limited by the presence or absence of belief. The VDM case can be attributes to case 3 .


The Bible does not support or encourage the practice of selling holy water, or any other items, as a means of obtaining God's blessings, healing, or favor.

Key Points from the Bible:

1. Condemnation of Commercializing Faith
- In the New Testament, Jesus strongly opposes the commercialization of religious practices. For example, in Matthew 21:12-13, Jesus drives out the money changers and those selling doves from the temple, declaring, "My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers." This passage underscores that religious practices should not be used for financial gain.

2. Freely Given, Freely Give
- Jesus instructed His disciples in Matthew 10:8, saying, "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give." This suggests that spiritual gifts and blessings, including healing, should be given freely without charge.

3. Warning Against Exploitation
- The Bible also warns against false teachers and those who exploit others for financial gain. In 2 Peter 2:3, it says, "In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories." The selling of holy water or other items for profit could fall under such exploitation if done with improper motives.

The Bible does not support the sale of holy water or any similar practices. Instead, it emphasizes that God's blessings and grace are freely given and should not be commercialized. If a pastor or religious leader engages in such practices, it would not align with biblical teachings and that prophet or pastor is doesn't portray Jesus.

this is where you got me wrong.. I don't support the sale of anything but the way vdm is going about it is equally wrong

Michael547:
So If a person does not have faith, can he be healed?

are u a believer.. If yes then you know the answer to the question.. But if you are not.. Before you can receive any miracle.. U will be asked do u believe.. If u say yes den u can expect a miracle but if you say no then d reverse is the case.. Do u lock your door and expect people to gain entrance to it without opening it or giving them the 🔑

Michael547:
So you mean that a person must have faith to be healed?
So people who are in the hospitals are there because they don't believe in Jesus?

that is not what I meant... Many are called but few are chosen.. It's left for you to be among the chosen once bro.. All i know that religion is by faith not by prescription

Botragelad:
Does medicines prescribed by a doctor works through faith or efficiency?

How would you feel if a medication was prescribed for a specific ailment, but it failed to deliver the desired results?

please i won't argue with u on this.. Just know that when it comes to anything about religion it's by faith

seunmsg:
Well, he’s selling the healing water and it should work for whoever buys it. A product should be able to deliver on its marketing points.

miracles work by faith.. I would have loved him to test this on true belivers not once who don't even believe in Christ talk more of his healing powers

Chinkoalhaji34:
Those who refuse to see the light are forever stuck in the shadows.

While the wailers are busy sharpening their knives of discontent, the real work is happening behind the scenes.

Let them keep shouting; it only shows how afraid they are of the progress being made.

As it stands, the true visionaries will always rise above the noise of the naysayers.

I go like know you for real life make I see how you are copping... I want to know your capacity finance wise.. If you are doing well I will add 1 million naira to whatever business you are doing but if you are not I will make sure u don't come here deceiving people ever again

Goodvibes007:
If you have ever bought a new car, you would know it can take months and even years to deliver. Even the ones for the crooks in the Senate and HOR took months to deliver.

I just ordered a Toyota grandhighlander in July, and I was given a date of 8 - 16 months for delivery.

Even the track bike used for a track event in the Olympic can take weeks or even months to deliver.

if the nairaland owner knows the kind of disservice you guys are rendering him he will stop political section.. Ordinary Bicycle that one can do air cargo that's what you are here typing rubbish... Get sense bro

South Africa has no open gutters.

The difference between Nigeria and Rwanda/Kenya is that when they build new roads, they build them the right way.

In Nigeria, apart from Abuja, Lagos and Akwa Ibom, the NEW roads in other states are still built with open drains for the most part, and not a thought for where pedestrians will walk!

It's like they're determined to remain backward.

so is the open drainage your problem now? If so I will let the government know that open drainage is ur problem.. Next please

Chinkoalhaji34:
Ah, so Ndume is back in the mix, I see! The way APC is playing chess with these political moves, e be like say dem get strategies wey go shock us.

Ndume as Senate Whip again? This one fit bring some balance back to the Senate, if you ask me. No be small matter, as we dey need people wey fit stand firm for the party.

Make we just hope say this time, e go carry everybody along and no be just some select few wey go benefit. APC dey show say dem serious about making sure say all voices dey heard, even from the grassroots.

The game don change, and we dey here for am!

your mumu don too much

Chinkoalhaji34:
Ah, the Catholic Bishops have spoken! It’s interesting how the same people who praised Peter Obi’s empty promises now have the audacity to question the FG’s reforms. Maybe they expected miracles overnight? Reform is a journey, not a magic trick.

I want you to know that a child will first crawl before learning how to run.. Tinubus government came with so much force buy lack the wisdom of doing the least things in government.. There are procedures for doing things, I believe u know he stopped subsidy on his first day as a president without working out modalities on how to go about it.. If he studied nnpcl closely he would have not done what he did.. Then he rushed again to float naira.. Bro.. All his ideas are things they apply caution to do but since he lacks that I guess we are going to be seeing such rash decisions

michlins:
Banks are working here without issues

what about abuja

LegendHero:
What if the government forgive the loan? Or you think that is impossible?

Even if they are taking it back, it’s going to stretch across years and if you are not a criminal, I don’t see how you won’t be able to pay back provided you have a job.

If you’re jobless, you won’t pay anything back. So what’s your fear?

Would you rather FG embezzle the money instead?

like are you for real.. Why do people reason with there anus these days.. Every single penny of that money will be deducted from your account

Probably waiting on the quea...this question was supposed to be asked when you guys where celebrating under age voters

Her candidacy is assured, Mr Man.

There's nothing to wait for.

Obama and Michelle plus the Clintons have endorsed her, so it's all over. She's the candidate.

You guys should admit that Trump is scared of that woman.

Tell urself the truth what stopped sars Harasment

Salewa97:
Why are we even protesting against protests?

The irony is too much.

Lagosians need to focus on more pressing issues instead of this circus. Protests don’t solve problems; they just create more chaos.

If you want to make noise, channel it into something productive. Let’s not turn our city into a battleground for misplaced priorities.

Let us rest.

Why do we like petty gossiping in Nigeria fcs?

Both FG and Dangote have been engaging in a round table talk which they never invited us.

Why can't we allow them to settle their scores without distracting us?

So many tax waivers was given to Dangote by the last administration which must be rectified

*NNPC VS DANGOTE REFINERY: THOSE WHO TALK DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH AND THOSE WHO KNOW THE TRUTH WON'T TALK*

1 In May 2021 , NNPC went into marriage with DR by proposing to acquire 20% equity in DR.

2 Early 2024, NNPC promised to supply crude to DR.

3 In July 2024, Alhaji Aliko Dangote (AAD) alerted the public that NNPC did not own 20% but 7.2%.

4 In July 2024 AAD accused government of importing bad fuel into the country and that OICs and internal forces are bent on sabotaging him

5 A week later NNPC fired back that DR is not licensed and its fuel is inferior to the imported one.

6 Hell broke loose. Those who have beef with AAD on account of his AGIP (Any Government in Power policy) lined up behind the government. And those who hate NNPC are now social media warriors for AAD.

7 *What lessons can we learn*?

1 AAD cannot complain about the system now, perspective, intelligent people will not take him seriously. Why? The system has served him well in the last 30 years, the system makes him to emerge the richest African alive. AAD is a one man cabal himself.

2 But like DAEWOO in South Korea and late MKO Abiola, you can be 99% correct in your political calculations, It doesn't matter. But the day you are 1% wrong politically, the financial empire built through political connections and manipulation faces existential threats.

DAEWOO at his peak of his financial success had 420 products, the richest South Korean ( read: Every Streets Paved with Gold - An Autobiography of DAEWOO), but one wrong political move sent DAEWOO to jail where he expired. MKO story is still fresh. He was the most successful business personality of his time, just one wrong political move, he ended up in prison where he expired.

3 *It is a high stakes, do or die Game: no allowance for mistakes, sorry is not accepted, It is a dog-eat-dog, winners-take-all game*

Till tomorrow nobody will know the whole TRUTH of what went wrong between MKO and IBB. The rule is *to go to heaven with the truth*.

4 But while trying to connect the dots, I came to the conclusion that between NNPC and their hitherto best friend and business partner: *Things have fallen apart and the falcons can no longer hear the falconers*.
Unfortunately, we cannot get the whole TRUTH from both of them.

This is a big lesson: *It is dangerous when you have a business that is government-dependent, even though the easiest way in the developing countries to make MEGA money (the type that can put you on the FORBES list) is through government patronage which can come in form of getting concessions, FX allocation preferential treatment, monopoly, direct printing of money by CBN and sharing of same among the Elites, e g. Emefiele allegedly printed N30 trillion and 85% could not be accounted for or traced to national projects according to the CBN Auditor*

5 Where do we go From here? AAD knows the truth, he should sit down with his business partners (NNPC) and resolve the resolvable issues for the sake of Nigeria who needs cheap fuel badly.

6 What will work in the ultimate analysis is for AAD to do what Bill Gates did when he was faced with similar huge opposition that threatened his survival: Bill Gates divested from Microsoft - retains 5% of Microsoft and took his cash to electricity and health business. Immediately, peace came to Bill Gates and oppositions looked for another OCTOPUS corporation (Google) to interrogate. It is the way the world runs, once the *wealth of the nation resides in your house as your guest, peace eludes you*

7 On October 24 2021, Ali Baba disappeared from the public view for about 6 months and when he responded, he did the needful. He restructured his business empire which is in Trillion of dollars and he became a university professor and peace came to him

Therefore, If I meet AAD today I will remind him of this wise words from Jack Ma, China's richest man : *To get rich is glorious, but among the richest men in China, only a few have good endings*!!!!

*As seen on another platform.*
