fejikudz:Please note that not all believers are Christians. Jesus was a Hindus and he was a believer. Muslims, Traditionalists, Hindus, etc are believers too. There are religious groups everywhere who are not Christians but are believers. Anyone who doesn't follow the teachings of Jesus Christ is not a Christian but might be a Believer. |
AWONEYAN:Op, you need to fully understand how God operate with the different set of people that exist before you can address this topic exhaustively and factual. The different kinds of people are; 1. God's children who were not Christians. 2 . Christians who don't work with God. 3. Righteous people who are not Christians. This is because the generation before Jesus Christ were not Christians and the way God operated with them was different. Remember that Jesus himself was not a Christian. The term christian means "Christ-like or "followers of Christ" More so, Jesus came with the mission to reconcile man to God. So, he modified so many doctrines and laws and God’s modus operandi changed. This is why the bible is full of perceived contradictions. The same God who said he loves peace can be seen as also a God of Wrath. So, any true student of the bible can't make factual generalization about God's operations except assumptions. It is the same God who said "ask and you will receive" also said "He knows your needs even before you ask. And that His thoughts for us is of GOOD only, to give us our expected end. So, you see that it's misleading to assume that you know for sure, how he operates? |

With the volume of unprecedented support, goodwill and unanimous resolve by dissatisfied Nigerians for change that enthroned President Muhammadu Buhari to the highest office in Nigeria, he has no reasons but to justify the enormous confidence reposed in him. Unfortunately, the fact that he was yet to form his cabinet after four months in office, is a disappointment that is already generating ambivalent reactions. For many, there is no reasonable justification for the delay, especially considering that he had identified the challenges facing the country and prepared himself to govern the Nigerian state, and contested four times. The most generous interpretation for the lack of a ready blueprint that apparently resulted to this unnecessary delays could have been that he was being meticulous and looking for credible people, preferably new saints in the new cabinet. But contrary to the heightened expectations of Nigerians, the eventual outcome of this presumed diligence is at best, annoying and laughable, considering the ministerial list he sent to the Senate which recycled the same old politicians instead of new saints. He could have easily compiled these names even on the eve of his assumption of office because they are his age long allies in the same political family. Again, Buhari who declared that he was for everybody, ended up appointing only members of his political party (the APC). YOUTHS---------From the prevailing social and political realities and statistics, Nigeria is clearly a society where the concept of youths as leaders of tomorrow has constricted a very important social category to the political fringe and relegated a demographic majority (the youths) to the political minority. Nigerian youths who represent over 68% of Nigeria’s total population, are arguably the most talented, intelligent and sophisticated in all areas. It is therefore, surprising why President Muhammadu Buhari has decided to exclude the youths in his ministerial list. It is even more disheartening that in a country that has a preponderance of competent youths, a man who was a minister in 1982 (33 years ago) is being nominated for ministerial position again in 2015 by a government that promised to change the old unfavourable order. It is high time that we de-constructed our mindset from the negative interpretation of youths as leaders of tomorrow and perhaps, reconstruct the phrase because it appears that we have misconstrued it to imply a tomorrow that must never come for the teeming Nigerian youths. Short changing the youths by precluding them from full representation and proportionate participation in governance and in making decisions/policies that will ultimately affect them is an unforgivable sin. My research showed that Nigeria had given opportunities to the youths in the past and they were extraordinarily outstanding. Some of them were M.T. Mbu who became a minister at 25, Richard Akinjide at 32, Maitama Sule at 29, Yakubu Gowon at 35, Audu Ogbe at 35 etc. It is therefore preposterous to development, enmical to the desired change and nation building, that even president Buhari who himself became head of state in 1983 at the age of 41 could display this level of disregard for the Nigerian youths with unperturbed flippancy and loud silence. CONSTITUTION VIOLATION------Although Buhari's military background suggest naturally, that he would need more assistance and guidance to become a completely transformed democrat----- one with regard for the rule of law as enshrined in our constitution. That notwithstanding, can't be an acceptable excuse to violate the constitution because aside having a legal adviser, Buhari is fortunate to have a legal luminary as a vice president. Unfortunately, he hasn't displayed either in actions or inactions that he has fully utilized that privilege. Upon taking the oath of office, President Buhari resonated the spirit of the Nigerian Constitution when he declared that he was for nobody but for everybody. The excitement that greeted that declaration was short-lived as his subsequent actions and early appointments made the declaration a mere sarcasm. While the perceived selective favouritism and lopsided appointments were still not rectified, the constitution was again disregarded, perhaps inadvertently, when the president recently announced outside the shores of Nigeria that he will make himself the petroleum minister. A declaration that is indicative of obvious ignorance of section 138 of the 1999 constitution as amended which states that "the president shall not, during his tenure of office, hold any other executive office or paid employments in any capacity whatsoever. Aside legal advice, It is clear that Buhari needs to be reminded that he is representing a country that has a collection of the world's most intelligent people whose sensibilities shouldn't be insulted. How can a president send the list of ministerial nominees for screening to the Senate without indicating the portfolio of each of them? This is akin to a candidate going for an interview for which position neither the candidate nor the interviewer knows. The Senate will now have to become octopus to predict their portfolios and ascertain if they are competent and qualified to superintend the ministries as guessed. The avoidable conundrum created by this vague and ambiguous list will certainly negate accelerated screening because the Senate will now have to devise a conventional strategy for the exercise. Gradually, the overwhelming support and frenzy that brought president Buhari to office is fast depreciating from absolute confidence to ambivalence and still tilting towards south and something should be done to reassure and resuscitate the dwindling confidence of Nigerians.

j1mmy:It was that same Igbo man (Dr Chris Ngige) that saved Obasanjo's life in the prison. Let your sense of history and appreciation replace your unquenchable taste for ethnic bigotry and hatred because it is better for nation building. |
What prevented Buhari from indicating their portfolios before sending to the Senate? It's just like sending a candidate for interview for a position that is not known to both the interviewer and the candidate. There no doubt that the nominees are sound and may perform well, but we should know for which office Buhari intends to assign to who. This is to enable us assess if they are capable of such office. E.g. It will be wrong to make Ngige the justice minister. |
kokosheen:What is between her legs that the guy can't get elsewhere or hasn't gotten enough after 3 months? The lady just expressed a genuine concern that requires intelligent contribution. She even said that she has confirmed that the guy wants something serious. |
ASABA----As the president Buhari's ministerial list continue to attract ambivalent reactions, the Senior Special Assistant to Delta State Governor on Youth and Community Development, Hon. Egbo Victor Okemena (JP), has described as dangerous and preposterous to sustainable development, the deliberate attempt to exclude the youths who constitute over 68% of Nigeria’s total population from decision-making and governance processes as shown in the ministerial list submitted to the Senate. Hon. Egbo who is also the president of Isoko National Youth Assembly, said the concept of youths as "leaders of tomorrow" has regrettably constricted a very important social category to the political fringe and reduced a demographic majority (the youths) to the political minority in Nigeria. The youth leader argued that it was wrong to preclude the youths from participating in making decisions and government policies that will ultimately affect them. He said it was shocking to find a man who was a minister in 1982 (33 years ago) nominated again as minister in 2015 by a government that is serious about changing the old order of doing things. Is it that we are in deficit of qualified and competent youths', he ask rhetorically. The governor's aide said we need to disabuse our mindset and deconstruct our thinking about the concept of youths as leaders of tomorrow if we have misconstrued it to mean a tomorrow that may never come for the youths. The youth leader recalled that in the good old days, Nigerian youths were given opportunities in governance and they were extraordinarily outstanding. Some of them were M.T. Mbu who became minister at 25, Richard Akinjide at 32, Maitama Sule at 29, Yakubu Gowon at 35, Audu Ogbe at 35 etc. Hon. Egbo advised that rather than recycling the same old circle, Buhari should take advantage of the teeming distinct category of our youths who are highly educated with proven competence and prepared, to effectively drive national transformation. In every progressive thinking society, it is the youths that drive the process and Nigerian youths are arguably the most, talented, intelligent and sophisticated in all areas. Presently, four Nigerian youths are in the United Kingdom's legislature to help them run their government', he continued. Egbo further appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, who himself became head of state in 1983 at age 41, to consider youth inclusion in the remaining ministerial list. He also advised president Buhari to reconsider his decision to double as both president and petroleum minister as it's a clear violation of section 138 of the 1999 constitution as amended which states that, "the president shall not, during his tenure of office, hold any other executive office or paid employments in any capacity whatever". http://histempleglobal.com/index.php/2015/10/08/ministerial-list-hon-egbo-condenms-youth-exclusion-warns-against-constitutional-violation/ |
The Senior Special Assistant to Delta State Governor on Youth and Community Development, Hon. Egbo Victor Okemena (JP), has advised the federal government to be extremely careful with the members of the callous extremist group, Boko Haram, who have been compelled to surrender to the gallantry of the reinvigorated Nigerian Army. The Governor's aide, was reacting to the October 2nd twin bomb blasts that rocked Abuja, the nation's capital, an attack that was apparently planned to coincide with the nation's 55th independence celebration, barely 24 hours after 80 apostles of the dreaded sect purportedly surrendered to the Nigerian Army. Logically, it is difficult to believe that the terrorists truly surrendered", the visibly livid Egbo submitted. However, the fact that the recalcitrant terrorists were constrained to down tools is although a welcome development, but it must be taken with a pinch of salt, as it has the tendencies of achieving the extreme opposites of good and bad consequences depending on the handling. He said if the insurgents can be surrendering and attacking simultaneously, then there is need for skepticism, absolute caution and not celebration yet. Hon. Egbo, who is also a UN certified peace Ambassador, said surrendering comes with even a bigger challenge because the terrorists needed to be properly deradicalized, assessed psychologically, re-orientated and most importantly, ascertain their sincerity of purpose before finally reintegrating them to the society. The Governor's Aide commended the security agencies for their giant strides in the renewed fight aimed at completely stamping out the insurgents. He also appealed to all Nigerians, particularly the political ruling class, religious and youth leaders to see the fight against Boko Haram as a collective responsibility instead of dangerously politicizing it or making comments that are capable of polarising the country with the divisive sword of ethnic bigotry, religious bias and primordial sentiments. The Peace Ambassador reminded Nigerians that, chief among the plethora of challenges facing the country, is the issue of Boko Haram. This is because a dead person has no need for all the good things of life and so, we must be alive and safe first, before thinking of the economy, job cum wealth creation, electricity, good roads etc", he continued. More so, the destruction of lives and properties occasioned by Boko Haram onslaughts cuts across all divides. The youth leader commiserated with the families of the dead and prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured, majority of whom are youths. http://histempleglobal.com/index.php/2015/10/04/hon-egbo-calls-for-caution-on-surrendered-boko-haram-terrorists-warns-against-politicking/ |
Hotel Receptionist is one job that corrupts even a saint. Hotel Receptionist and Bar Attendant are too dangerous jobs to be considered by any decent lady. |
This issue was raised and discussed exhaustively after which it was agreed at the National Conference, that state of origin should be removed from our CVs or any kind of official document. Although some argued that it will achieve less because the mindset has been ingrained in us. Also that the different regions have peculiar identifiers. |
Dakkada:And who told you Akwaibom is a southeastern state in Nigeria? |
And since when did the issuance of dud cheques become a bailable offence. In fact, the only option the magistrate has, is to send the offender to the prison, except there is a proof that the cheques were wrongly returned by the bank. Except the issue of the dud cheques he issued was part of the filing. |
Didoris:Being invited for interview on a job you didn't apply for, is not unusual. Especially if you have left your information on social media platforms such as LinkedIn, recruitment website, etc. But you must also be careful and conduct preliminary investigation and security checks before honouring the invitation. This is because, we have more fraudsters than genuine hiring firms. Find below, the details of the subject MFB to enable you compare with the invitation sent to you; Marvelous Microfinance Bank Ltd is one of the licenced MFBs in Nigeria. The bank was registered on 28/07/2014, with its office at 371 Ikotun Idimu Isheri, Olefin Lagos State |
Ghandi12:There is need for us to establish that the blogger didn't publish a falsified, fictitious or defamatory article, before he can be assisted. Yes! There is freedom of expression as enshrined in our constitution, but there are also laws guiding the dissemination of information. That is why you can't just write that Mr "A" is a thief if you can't legally prove it. Anybody is free to publish ONLY what he/she can prove to be true, or risk being sued for libel/criminal defamation of character. Some people have been sued and made to pay millions as damages for this offence. As for the handcuffs, it is not right, although not unconstitutional anyways, provided that the police can prove that the suspect tried to either evade arrest or flee from custody. There is no gainsaying that our policing is more accusatory than investigatory. An average accused person in Nigeria is made to defend himself more than proving his innocence, and it sometimes, subject suspects to torture--------both emotional, psychological and physical. |
ZUBY77:The education ministry needs, among other qualities, nothing less than a Doctorate Degree holder, who must have risen to the highest echelon of the four walls. You must understand something before you can improve it. I doubt if Buhari knows much about the mechanism of academics. |
abimic:Pressmen are not wizards, you can only get information if the custodian is willing to divulge. Buhari gave the list to only one person and must have warned him. |
cr7lomo:Your submission is more of an attack on the person of the contributor. You could have been able to make your points without using such derogatory remarks as DELUSIONAL, GULLIBLE LIKE YOU etc. This is a forum and every member has equal right to express his/her opinion. Where you disagree with an opinion, you are free to contest it but not attacking the person. |
The president has my 100% support on this. That ministry is the most corrupt and it served as a conduit pipe with which they milked the economy. The only sensitive position that needed a person of integrity in that ministry is that of GMD of NNPC and we already have that settled. |
These people are gradually turning this "I WILL KILL CORRUPTION" to our national anthem. |
permsec:The times were not the same as at when the statements were made. You can easily say Jonathan was optimistic because Sambisa was still under the control of Boko Haram when he made the promise. The Nigerian Army, we were told, have captured both Sambisa and other Boko Haram hideouts and in the process, rescued victims in droves. Anybody who can promise to still bring back the Chibok girls alive, should be arrested and tried, to ascertain if he is in custody of the girls or just being a liar. |
lecturerdabo:LOL |
President Muhammadu Buhari has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to rescuing the Chibok girls alive and unharmed. The President gave this assurance on Monday in his address to the 70th United Nations General Assembly in New York. While acknowledging the threat posed by Boko Haram terrorists to sustainable development in the West African region, President Buhari condemned the sect’s murderous activities perpetrated under the cloak of religion. He detailed the action taken so far by Nigeria and its allies in the Lake Chad Basin Commission to rout the insurgents, and called for a global strategy towards defeating the terrorists. http://www.channelstv.com/2015/09/29/buhari-at-un-general-assembly-on-boko-haram-chibok-girls/ |

The Senior Special Assistant to Delta State Governor on Youth and Community Development, Hon. Egbo Victor Okemena (JP), has warned communities resident in flood-prone areas such as low lands and river banks in the State, to take proactive steps and gradually relocate to safer parts of the State, to avert the dangers of being enveloped by the impending flood. He made this call in Aboh, the headquarters of Ndokwa East Local Government Area, during a scheduled enlightenment tour of communities in the most vulnerable flood-prone areas in the State. This followed the earlier warnings by the DG of NEMA, Alhaji Muhammad Sani Sidi and the Delta State Deputy Governor, Barrister Kingsley Otuaro, to Nigerians and Deltans respectively, following information from the Cameroonian authorities on plans to release excess water from the Lagdo Dam between now and November 2015. Hon. Egbo, while addressing Community and Youth Leaders, said he became extremely worried owing to the recent flooding that washed away parts of Kaduna state, where no fewer than 12 persons were feared dead and hundreds of houses submerged, thereby rendering thousands of persons homeless and distraught. It will be recalled that the regrettable 2012 flood disaster swept away the entire Ndokwa East LGA, leaving many people dead and properties worth millions of naira destroyed, even as the State Government hurriedly rescued survivors to various flood camps in the State. Following the disastrous effects of the massive 2012 flood, both Countries had reached agreement in 2013 that, Cameroon would give early warning to enable Nigeria put adequate measures in place to prevent excessive destruction of lives and properties. Hon Egbo, who had visited the Okpai, Afor, Obikwele, Uchi, Beneku, Ashaka and Aboh communities for sensitization, reminded the teeming enthusiastic crowd that the obvious rising water levels at the River Niger and it's adjoining Creeks, only resonated the earlier warnings by Cameroon and urged the residents not to be flippant about these signs but act fast. The forecast by the relevant Government agencies looks gloomy, but the effect of the impending flood can be contained by concerted efforts from everyone", he concluded. http://histempleglobal.com/index.php/2015/09/28/flood-alert-governors-aide-visit-deltan-communities-warns-residents/ |
MadCow1:Your closing statement is spot on, and it's something that should bother Nigerians. As it stands, I doubt if there is any anus without faeces in the entire NASS. Saraki is most likely going to be removed and banned from occupying any public office for a period of at least, ten years. I think this may usher us to a festival of witch hunting. Let's join hands together and pray for this nation. |
Volksfuhrer:Your point is very valid. But we must also understand that, all these analysis are based on probabilities. Nobody, except the gladiators, can say for sure what will happen. But we must also recognize that Saraki will be dismissed entirely and that leaves APC with 57 senators to PDP’s 49. This means that a united PDP just needed only 5 senators, to either vote for them or stay indifferent, to win. Anyways, nothing is certain for now but it is an expensive gambling. Let's watch on. |
