Will the north be able to defeat the three region comprising of south West,south south and south East if they merge in 2019 presidential election?I can see the bigotrry president is building a stronger north so that no region can defeat his region and to will remain as president till eternity.
The problem is that one of the 3 regions in the south will always be used to destabilize the south. The North are always United irrespective of party affiliation.

What of dis bible verse ... At mere shouting of jesus christ all knee shall bow... But the woman that was killed in abuja days ago was beckoning for God's assistance by shouting blood of Jesus but only to be disappointed....
Bros, even me gets confused about the content of the bible. Just yesterday somebody drew my attention to suggest that the late preacher should be blamed.

Matthew 10:22 When they persecute you, "run away" to another city because before you finished runing around to all the cities, I will come.

It seems to be that there are things the Whitemen who brought Christianity didn't tell us. Of all religions, Christianity is the most divided with conflicting beliefs and opposing doctrines.

From Catholic, Anglican, Celestial, Jehoval Witness, Presbyterian to Shabbat, all have different theories.

Pentecostal is another very broad topic.

Did God Almighty not allow his only begotten son Jesus Christ die for our sins?? Couldn't He have stopped it?

Death to a true believer is a call to everlasting life. All the disciples of Christ died while in service to God. In fact we as Christians should count ourselves lucky to suffer tribulation for his sake. It is written that these things must be fulfilled.

Like my brother always says, we are not practicing Christianity in the South. Some of us have not seen tribulations yet out faith wavers. As he would say the real Christians are in the middle east and north. Their lives are endangered everyday just by being Christians yet they are unwavering.
With this your submission, is it now safe to say any Christian praying against danger or death of any kind is ignorant and coward?

"No weapon fashioned against ME shall prosper". This statement was a declaration by someone---not a promise from God. In the bible, you need to understand when God or Jesus is taking and when other followers or apostles are talking on their own.

Religious Killings: WHO IS GUILTY?

Religious killings and wanton destruction of properties fuelled by prolonged hate or spontaneous provocation has been with us from time immemorial and doesn't look like there is a solution in sight yet---perhaps until there is a paradigm shift.

Analysing the gruesome murder of the Deeper Life Bible Church member in Kano to the most recent killing of the RCCG female preacher in Abuja, there is a general consensus in describing both incidents as unfortunate.

Unfortunately, the definition of that word "unfortunate" in this context meant different things to the adherents of the 2 major religions in the country. While it meant "unwarranted killing" for one group, the other described it as "avoidable provocation".

These opposing reactions is (in most cases) even more painful than the killing itself. Added to this pain is the loud silence by certain leaders whose swift reactions could have done so much in calming frayed nerves.

However, My interactions with the staunch adherents of the 3 religions suggests that lack of respect and tolerance are the prominent factors negating the desired peaceful coexistence. I therefore want us to deliberate on the following questions with a view to creating the needed paradigm shift to a new consciousness and realization.

1. At what point does the activities of another religion becomes a deliberate and overbearing imposition to others?

2. Is it naturally offensive for a preacher to say "XYZ is the ONLY or TRUE religion and if you reject XYZ, you will die and go to hell"?

3. If we practice our different religions without claiming that one is superior and with a little more tolerance, will there be peaceful coexistence?

IS PAGANISM THE MOST PEACEFUL RELIGION?
According to statistics, there are more than 4,200 religions in the world. In Nigeria we have only 3 (Christianity, Paganism and Islam) yet the whole country is boiling. Interestingly, of these 3, Paganism (which was our original African traditional religion before the introduction of the rest by foreigners) appears the most peaceful with enviable tolerance and nonviolent approach---even in the face of undue interference and provocations like the destruction/burning of their altars by either Christians or Islamic religious group. We refused to teach African Religious Studies (ARS) yet you will hardly or never hear of Pagans fighting the other two religious groups.

HOW CAN WE STOP RELIGIOUS CONFLICT?

Dear Nairalanders, I'm really in distress but I won't
continue dying in silence. Our landlord has been on our
neck for some time now due to our failure to meet up
with the agreed house rent. Last week, before we
returned home our apartment was locked with a
strange padlock, I called my sister who was the last
person to leave the house to know if she was
responsible for that. Her response was negative, I died
inside me when I found out that my instinct was right. I
approached my landlord to beg him, he turned deaf
ears on me. My mum went up to him in tears before he
agreed to let us in only on one condition, that we will
pay him on or before second week of July, 15th
precisely. 15th is already by the corner and I only have
7k with me out of the total debt of 45k. I need your
assistance. I'm posting it here because mods fail to
push it to fp
And you were really expecting a sane person to move this to FP?

Family › Re: Am Looking For My Father by histemple:
Op. Your story is supposed to be touching but my feelings for you is that of ambivalence.

First, I am tempted to blame your dad for not visiting for about 16 years, but then, nobody knows exactly why yet.

Secondly, I am disappointed that at 7years old you didn't know anything about your father, not even his name, his siblings or even his village.

More so, without apology, I must say that both your mum and her family were careless not to have known reasonable details about your father.

Anyways, My conclusion is if your dad was visiting and suddenly stopped, not because he had issues with either your mum or her family, then it is worrisome----and very worrisome.

My advice for you is to focus "MORE" on how you can become a better person while leveraging on any information you can get to find him.
Crime › No Gun Can Pierce My Body----cult Leader. by histemple(op): 9:50pm On Jul 10, 2016
The leader of a cult group who was arrested arrested over the weekend by the operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of Lagos State Police Command in has said that no amount of gun – shot can penetrate his body.
The cult suspect, Andrew Awalebi, 35, who belonged to Eiye Confraternity, was arrested on Friday morning at a beer parlour in company of three other cult members around 8:00 a.m.
Two other members of the cult group, Adegoke Adeleke (30), Kehinde Adebogun (31), were also picked up early Saturday morning at an hotel in Ikorodu.
Awalebi, from Ilaje Local Government, Ondo State was given out by Michael Thompson of the same Eiye Confraternity as a cult leader. Thompson was arrested a night before for robbery in National Stadium Surulere, Lagos.
Awalebi, who disclosed that he worked with a popular land owner in Lekki stated that he earns N40, 000:00 monthly from the property dealer for helping to protect his landed property in the axis.
He told investigator that the gun – shot protective charm was specially prepared for him by an herbalist in Ijebu – Isiwo, Ogun State to save him from gunshots of land grabbers in Lekki.
He added “I was initiated into Eiye Confraternity in 1996 by Banji Omisore and later in 1997 I was promoted as its topmost leader after the death of Omisore.
“We are eight member cult group. We meet very early in the morning or late at night. I have been arrested by Special Anti – Robbery Squad sometimes ago when my cult group caused mayhem in Jakande Estate, inflicting injuries on passers-by in the area,”he disclosed.
Arrested alongside Awalebi were Michael Thompson (24), Adegoke Adeleke (30), Kehinde Adebogun (31), Koffi Kwame (17), Daniel Olayiwola (36) and Tosin Issac (26) as they all confessed to be members of Eiye Confraternity.
While confirming the arrest, the image maker of Lagos Police Command, Superintendent of Police, SP Dolapo Badmus, warned parents and guardians to be wary of their children and wards’ behaviors.
“Charity begins at home. But this should end there. Parents should help police to tackle cultism in their respective localities. They should endeavor to report to the nearest police station around them if they suspect movements of their children, this will help the Police to nip the cultism to the bud,” she advised.
The cult suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigative Department (SCID), Panti.

Politics › Re: Obiano And Wife At Catholic Church In Lagos - Photos by histemple: 2:58pm On Jul 10, 2016
JoeCutie:
They look good...


But this man (and his cohorts) should stop fighting Peter Obi, playing the politics of character assassination against him, because no matter how hard he tries, he'll never outshine Peter Obi in Anambra state, in Nigeria and in the world at large.

Peter Obi does not deserve the treatment he's getting from our today's APGA (in Anambra State)
.
If you have been following the politics of Anambra State since 2003, your views could have been different.

Ngige remains the best governor in Anambra state albeit divine intervention. Peter had no other option than to continue implementing and completing Ngige's policies and projects, and yes! Peter did a wonderful job in that.

Ordinarily Obiano and Peter couldn't have become enemies since it was Peter that brought him into APGA, basically to cover his tracks, against the wishes of the party. It was understandably so because Obiano was a successful banker but never into mainstream politics.

The current bickering between Peter and Obiano was caused by the former when he aligned forces with Tony Nwoye as his preferred candidate against Obiano. This move was seen as a means to disorganise the party because of Obi's enmity with Victor Umeh and other APGA chieftains. More so, because Tony was known to be working with PDP at the time.

Little wonder that Nwoye quickly went back to PDP when the plot failed and contested the governorship as a PDP flagbearer. That singular move exposed and gave Peter Obi away as a saboteur. It was made even clearer when he made so many attempts at destroying the party before his eventual romance with PDP.

Even Ojukwu in his grave will be disappointed at Peter Obi for trying to destroy a party he built to advance the Igbo course. Today Peter has left for PDP and peace has returned to the once polarised APGA.

Look at the type of junkies the igbos appoints as leaders. Instead of formulating policies to improve his state, he his busy gallivanting to Lagos for an irrelevant church service. Are there no churches in the south east? What economic benefit is this senseless visit to his state? The east is the least developed region in Nigeria excluding imo state led by rochas because other governors fail to put on their thinking cap. Ebonyi state governor the other day was distributing foreign made SUV's, instead of going for a cheaper option in innoson while most people in his state cant afford 3 square meal. This is how the eastern leaders waste their tax payers money on irrelevancies and instead of their youths to hold them accountable, they will instead blame Buhari for their woes and start screaming biafra as if angels will be their leaders in their imaginary biafra. Shame on IPOB yoots sad
The mention of Imo state led by Okorocha makes mockery of your write-up.

Good News from the East.

I am impressed. Africans?Nigerians? why are we like this? this move by the Peace Transport Management, should be commended by us, and not be viewed with disdain or suspicion. Sometimes i am puzzled, that even with our level of Education, we still ascribe to the age long belief of witchery, sorcery and blood sucking.

Accidents occur everyday. Even in developed Countries, where Companies have a good service history of their vehicles as required by Law, still have multiple accidents, let alone those without a maintenance culture in Nigeria.

Back to Back, the Malaysian Airline lost hundreds of people. One has still not been recovered, and the other got shot down when it flew between the Ukraine and Russia troops(Ukraine Separatist is the official version) exchanging Mortar/Rocket Fire, so The owners of the Malaysian Airline suck Blood too?

We can go on. Air France/British Airways have lost Thousands of Passengers via Air Crash, Egypt Air and a host of others too. These guys are blood suckers or use the passengers Blood for Rituals too? Education is one thing,Enlightenment is another, a lot of people need to get enlightened.

Reminds me of a gist with a Benin friend of mine days ago, who kept boasting that Benin Juju is this and that, and so i asked him do you believe in Juju, he said yes. And then i asked him, if Benin Juju is so Powerful, how come the British tied your Oba with Ropes, and took him to Calabar where he died and no Juju Killed any British? he still has not answered.

We should have an open mind please.
