HammedSodiqq: Pastor Bakare is currently in class, receiving lecture on BASIC BIBLE KNOWLEDGE (BBK101), with Pastor Caleb imparting fresh annonting. Make this one sink for him head o! Stubborn PIKIN Sabi fail exams, we hope this one that comes from a fellow pastor will help put him in the right direction.

For this comment, even your dad will bury his head in shame.

bubadaniel13: That advice is not enough oh,pls organise a nyt vigil and councelling session for this confused Bakare if possible take him to deliverance chapel.Bakare reads his Bible upside down he needs serious help

So this your comment is from a guy who reads the bible right side up? Shame.

Omexonomy: One thing is certain you cannot come from obscurity to contest a post and win tunde bakare is a good pastor and may be not a good politicians. We should countinu to pray for our pastors to be able to preach the right message to the people so as to increase peace humility salvations and holiness for this is what we need to produce God fearing leaders

You know one thing am sure of. If Bakare had refuse to contest the last election, the same you would have said he is criticising a position he's afraid to fill. Talk alone does not bring change. Prayer alone does not bring change. Faith without works can not be honoured.

Odunnu: You guys are trying to be diplomatic. Call that Pst Bakare to order! He isnt losing it, he's lost his tracks way way back.

Was it thesame track he lost matching round abuja in the face of threat to enable GEJ become president?
Was it thesame track he lost when he fought against fuel subsidy removal that led to the thieves being churned out?
Please stop making unguarded comments

Olanlere11: A Northern Christian group has responded to Pastor Tunde Bakare and referred him to the bible which says in 2 Timothy 2:24 which says a servant must not quarrel. Below is the statement from the group.

Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria: We Commend Pastor Tunde Bakare to 2 Timothy 2:24


Our attention has been drawn to Pastor Tunde Bakare's comments over the weekend on the person of President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan. Sadly, his comments were replete with ad hominem attacks and insults against the first family. Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria (CHAIN) is glad that the first family have chosen not to respond to Pastor Bakare in kind but to be guided by the principles taught by Christ which center on tolerance in the face of provocation.

Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria, however wishes to make known that while we respect Pastor Tunde Bakare, we do not wannt the impression created that he s soeaking for the body of Christ in Nogeria. We are immensely grateful to Pastor Tunde Bakare that he conceded in his sermon that the "God factor" made President Jonathan President. Seeing as he admits this, we would like to commend Numbers 23:8 to Pastor Bakare which says as follows "How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD has not denounced?".

We are also appreciative of the fact that Pastor Tunde Bakare said  any agenda to "balkanize the nation would fail". It is curious however that Pastor Tunde Bakare never thought it wise to make such a comment in all the multiple times that Boko Haram threatened the unity of Nigeria but rather chose to make this prayer in respect of the so called 'Ogoni Declaration of Self Governance' which Mr. President condemns and which the governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi,  has rightly described as treasonable. Are we to take it that Pastor Tunde Bakare is not as concerned with the activities of Boko Haram

Reading Pastor Bakare's comments where he said "Now, it is the turn of Otuoke people, and they are declaring autonomy", we feel it might be pertinent for him to study the map of Nigeria or take a crash course in elementary Nigerian geography because Otuoke is not in Ogoni Land. Otuoke is in Bayelsa state while Ogoni land is in Rivers State. Not to hold a brief for the President, we however do not want to people of Otuoke to think that we support this hasty generalization. Perhaps after soberly considering the statements he made, which libeled a whole community, Pastor Tunde Bakare may think it wise to apologize to the people of Otuoke for maligning them unjustly.

Finally, we appeal to President Jonathan to be open to constructive criticism and take time to consider and learn from constructive  criticism especially coming from a man of God, however, based on our reading of the Holy Bible, Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria does expect that such criticism should be truthful and calculated to help the target grow. Certainly, our reading of the scriptures does not prepare us for intemperate language from a man of God. We wish to say to Pastor Tunde Bakare what the bible says in 2 Timothy 2:24 which is that "And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful."

We note the language that Pastor Bakare chose to use against the President, but as the President is also a Christian well acquainted with the message of self control taught by the Lord Jesus Christ, we urge him to pray for Pastor Tunde Bakare that God in His infinite wisdom would continue to bless him and his and increase him in the knowledge of God.

Pastor Caleb Ma'aji
Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria (CHAIN)

Is this not the same Pastor Caleb that called Buhari a blood thirsty leader?
In as much as he said Bakare does not speak for the north, he also does not speak for the north.
Pastor Caleb, did you not read the same bible where it says if your brother offends you, you should first go to him alone?
Have you met personally with Bakare to discuss issues with him?
Do you think coming to the media is the best thing?
You quoted timothy and said a believer should be kind. would you describe Jesus using koboko to flog out people in the temple as being kind?
You can't just quote a verse in the bible and build a doctrine around it.
John the baptist spoke about the evil of his day. Even Jesus called Herod a fox.
When Bakare matched round abuja to make GEJ president where you there?
You all need to come together to speak with one voice against the evil being perpetrated in Nigeria and not using the media to utter words against the ones who are not just talking but are in action.

karl max: did king david contest for the throne?,did he accend the throne through the hate message that your hero bakare is preaching?.king david was choosen by God to be the second king of a united kingdom of isreal he did not become king by contesting for the throne of isreal.he did not become king by joining a political party and instigating people to rise up against the government of the day. Even when saul died in battle david that he persicuted mourned his death.bakare is like saul filled with hate and jealousy while GEJ is like david in this quote from the bible

. David is successful in many battles, and his popularity awakes Saul's fears — "What more can he have but the kingdom?" By various stratagems the jealous king seeks his death, but the plots only endear David the more to the people, and especially to Saul's son Jonathan, who loves David (1 Samuel 18:1, 2 Samuel 1:25–26). KING DAVID did not contest for his throne and was not a card carrying member of any political party instead he served under saul whom he never critized but loved to even moan him in death.read your bible and stop following a false prophet that has exchanged the pupit for a podium to preach hate and incite people against GEJ it would only make make people L♥√ع him the more, the organisation chain h as just showed this with this statement you did not answer my question though cos david didnt contest for the post of king he was made king.a

Your write up is a complete mes.s. Was there an electoral body during David's time. Or do people ascend the throne by election. Go back to school and learn proper history.

Hmm see what money can do.
So Okupe you finally found your voice because you are now on FG payroll. Leave Bakare and Elrufai alone. These guys have nigeria at heart. You are doing a paid job. Concern yourself with Ogoni people and Asari Dokubo's statement.

fellow Nlanders,
Nigeria has been saddled with leaders over the years having various degree of incompetence. Why don't we attempt to give whoever cares to read our idea of whom should lead us come 2015. We need to start preparing their minds now. Your inputs will be highly appreciated. At the end of the day we'll compile it and forward to relevant agencies. Thank you.

Please the adding starts . . .

Nigerians very gullible. How many times are we going to celebrate so called "peaking" of electricity generation only to crash back to 827MW with very lame excuses.
What is the celebration about when it does not get to the end user. You generate a momentarily 4200MW and less than 30% is what gets to the end user. Is that not wastage. We have more problems in transmission than generation. GEJ only wants to justify the increase in electricity tariff with this propaganda.

ipagzee: we should allow him to say what ever he likes, because talk is cheap. if you go to his church how many of his church members have he empowered as in improving there standard of living.

Are you in naija? Talk cheap indeed, tell that to MTN. What exactly do you mean by empowering his members?
People just write rubbish.

1Dray: Am begining to be so ashame of this 'Pastor'. Is this what you were call into? By now your congregation would 've bn so starved and malnulrished spiritually. How do you expect God to feel, looking down from the heavens and seeing you feeding the sheep He gave you care for, been fed with poison (political hate) instead of feeding them wt edifying and building spiritual food and winning souls to Christ? Why get yourself so eaten up with hate, as it is so obvious and shows. You rain insults on someone and tell me you are a pastor. Well, it is not for me to judge but do u realised how many people you might be misled because they might now think raining insults and abuses on someone are no more sins. Is this the prayer that you were supposed to be leading your congregation to pray for the nation and also the President and other leaders? How would this kind of 'sermon' edify the sheep you are sheperding? If I may ask you, can you successfully combine priesthood and kingship together? Oh, really? Then you've gotta be the one and only Melchisedek, the only biblically recorded King and Priest (at the same time), and you know what? You've gotta be kidding me... Melchisedek wont act the way you've been acting and carrying yourself. #SoMuchHateInYourEyesAndVoice

I tried to pick sense in your write up but the only sense I could pick in your comment is that you do not have one. Have you read in book of peter where people were called ROYAL PRIESTHOOD. What does that mean to you?

DANILSA: This is the most useless pastor in Nigeria and Africa in General. Ur been a serial looser has nothing to do with GEJ, when u associated with a serial looser, what do u expect. Yes Jona was born shoeless means nothing to us, because 90% of nigerians were born with no shoe. Clueless serial looser

You are the clueless and most useless dumb. How can 90% nigerians be born without shoes? Do they give birth to people with shoes in your village? Curtina right?

klax: qoute" Bible says, We should respect constituted Authorities, because if not for God, the leaders will not be in Power. Bakare doesnt read that part of the Bible ?




Does he Bakare read bible at all? sOMETIME WHEN I SAW SOME EMPTY SKULLS STILL SITTING IN HIS CHURCH LISTENING TO THIS PAIN IN THE A S S CALLED BAKARE I WONDER IF THESE ONES I SAW ON TV IN HIS CHURCH HAS BRAIN AT ALL

With your comment, you definitely HAS brain.

klechie: as far as i'm concerned, pastor bakare needs psychiatric test. His always criticizing and not doing any thing meaningful to ameliorate the poverty rate in our country. Instead being productive and proactive he is just criticizing and making unnecessary troubles. For crying out, he is not the only one that lost. Instead of joining forces, he is just being hypercritical and aggressive. I strictly recommends he goes for test. Personal opinion pls.

If what you just expressed is personal opinion, you should have kept it to yourself. It is better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove every doubt.

O.D.B.:
The SW will be a bastion of envy just like Dubai once they start planting cocoa. Cocoa is better than oil money. They built 3rd mainland bridge, Abuja and all the crooked billionaire politicians on cocoa money before that evil oil was discovered. The north just wants to farm groundnuts thats what boko is preaching, they want nothing to do with oil money. They even got rid of another oil rich enclave in Bakassi cos they did not want the corrupting vice of oil affecting Nigeria.
Bakare hates evil oil money and the "animals" that live on the oil land.
End oil dependency. Declare Odua Republic Now.
Tinubu will be the first life President!.

When people like u write, rats rejoice because there is hope for them to be counted as wise.

phreakabit: [size=18pt]I read a previous post you made. . . It contained the exacts words you used in the quote above. I was about to ridicule you, but decided it had nothing to do with me, so I let it slide. Who knew that fate would be so kind as to push you to the path of total embarrassment and absolute belittlement. . . I hate to make you look any worse than you already are, but can you please do us all a favour and define the word sense? Ahh, you see? You are a newt blessed with the brain of a plankton. Your stupidity spans an infinite loop. . . Do your family a favor. Go to the nearest Down Syndrome Research centre for further testing .[/size]

I don hug the transformer, what next?
You just epitomised lack of sense.

Billygee2u: Are you God? where was Bakare during the time of IBB,Buhari and OBJ?
how many people,innocent people were killed during their tenure,mister judge? Remove envy and jealousy and tell yourself the truth. ok?

Where was Bakare during IBB, Buhari and Obj?
Did you purchase your high school cert?

O.D.B.:
NONE TAKING. Besides I hear your mom sucks c0rk well

Teenager. You have some serious growing to do. Please keep to your disney kids website. Nairaland is too complex for you.

Ayekomi: Tunde Bakare abi weting una de cal am, if you still be pastor, the situation in Nigeria never reach wen you go shut up and pray for change. Those days people of God pray to change situation not talking like parot. Prove ur self with ur kneel on ground and cry to God, stop this physical thing, you can't make it. No body will vote u into power. U go loose ur members ooooo. I advice u mind ur church and repent please.

Why didn't Jesus pray that those buying and selling in the temple would stop? He took koboko and taught them why to stop

juliebest: He should leave the pulpit and turn to full time politics

Do you know anyone who is into full time politics?
Stop making stu.p1d statements

Yaya6: In a church where souls are meant to be won has finally turned into a house of political jingles and jamboree.Am sure that people are not attending this church for salvation again rather to discuss politics.

Naïve.

O.D.B.:
The man is spreading hate towards a particular ethnic group.

This is what the Nazis did to the Jews. In Europe he would have been in Jail for Hate-Speech.

This is the true Yoruba nature.

Sorry, does ODB mean Ode Beni? No pun intended.

phreakabit: The Blood thirsty Anarchist at work once again. . . . I guess the blood of the slain NYSC corpers in his calabash is running dry. . . Time for a refill eh?

I knew he was fake the very moment he said, he would gladly replace the title of Pastor in his name with the title of Mallam, simply so he could get a loan from the Islamic bank.

Guy, give your sense a chance

raphaelmaxwell: this man should just be careful,why is he so much on Jonathans neck.
mr. bakare should just let jonathan be,when he{tunde} gets there we will all see him perform.

Its the same Bakare that matched through the streets of abuja to make Jonathan president while he was vice president.
So what is your point.

tessyade: I can't imagine going to church every sunday to hear this. He has every right to express his political thought and views but it shouldn't be on the church altar. Church has suddenly become a political ground. God help us.

What do u want to hear? How Jesus fed five thousand people?
How about when he took koboko and flogged pastors who were extorting money from members?
A complete church covers all grounds with politics included.

mekaboy: WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS THIS

1, HE SAID NIGERIA IS TIRED OF OLD PEOPLE WE NEED YOUNG PEOPLE, THEN HE DECIDED TO CONTEST WITH BUHARI AN OLD MAN?

2, HE ASKED JONATHAN TO RESIGN, AND BOKO HARAM ALSO ASKED JONATHAN TO RESIGN, IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP?

3, WOULD HE BE HAPPY IF JONATHAN RESIGNED AND BUHARI TOOK OVER ?

I guess you are still doing social studies. Wait until you get to college.

chyzoo4u: He's a pastor, and the bible says... do not be equally yoked with unbelievers I guess he knows about that passage before getting equally yoked with Buhari. The bible also admonishes us to pray for our leaders, yes! I can see him praying for the president... 'clueless'. Ok o....

Let to you now you feel you just intepreted the bible right? You are the likes that give christianity a bad name due to wrong and misleading intepretation of d bible.

pro01: Someone needs to strangle this lunatic that calls himself a pastor. His continued presence in the hemisphere has become a source of great nuisance and irritation.

If truth is what you call nuisance and irritation, then you should be hung.

miteolu: Bakare is not a pastor

You obviously prefer someone who can not talk because his mouth is full of stolen money from politicians right? That's who you call pastor.
See, even fulani man na pastor. Abi him no get sheep.

chyzoo4u: All I can see is... frustration from a potential and practical looser!

Stop beating the air. Can you point out anything Bakare said that is not the truth. Common, give your sense a chance.

Okija_juju: What more is there to say..

The Pastor has gone mad...

I had no idea that losing the elections hurt this much..

And the one that won what has he got to show for it?
I had no idea that winning elections impoverishes a nation this much.

warrior01: Tis now quite obvious that tunde bakare is obsessed with denigrading Gej and his family not even minding that it is the same God he claims he is serving that put Gej there. He no more cares about the spiritual wellbeing of his members but he is busy sowing seeds of discord and hatred in their hearts all in the name of politics and it doesn't take rocket science for any reasonable person to discern this. Is God happy with him? The answer is NO cos he is presently not Christ like.

You obviously don't know the Christ you are talking about. So shut up and go enrol in a history class
