I'm waiting for Note 5 cos I already have a Note 3, just because of the battery. Their batteries are far better than the competition. Alternatively, I could go for the Nexus 6 just for the nexus feel.

EUROBOMBER:
The main reason why I will vote for GEJ is to make a statement. 2015 is about making a point in this country and we must drive that point home even if the gates of hell are opened. The message we must drive into some thick skulls is that Nigeria belongs to all of us. No tribe is born-to-rule while others are born to siddon dey look.

There must be fairness, equity and justice in this country. Power MUST go round if we are truly one Nigeria. Why must a particular group of people continue to terrorize the rest of the nation when they are not in power?

When OBJ, a southerner was in power, they declared Sharia law and caused a series of very violent riots in the north which led to the death of many Southerners and northern Christians.

As soon as Jonathan, another Southerner took over government, boko haram which was previously a rag tag group suddenly transforms into a mighty fighting force, blasting churches to pieces, killing innocent Nigerians and recently seizing towns and abducting our women.

The question is why is it that we cannot have peace when the people from Futa Jalon are not in power?

Buhari will NEVER rule Nigeria again. let me say this loud and clear, the best for Buhari is that he will end up as president of arewastan and maybe Odua republic but Buhari will NEVER rule Nigeria again.

See the people down there that believe Aso Rock is their property, they believe they were born to rule in Nigeria. Whenever they are not in power, they make sure nobody can sleep. See them there.

born to rule and tribalistic. who is better?

Buhari is not about north power, he's about change for the better.

Aren't enough northerners in PDP. your whole life is a lie

Nigerian People, the owl simply wants to eat the mouse on the trap and it got trapped too. This is not a spiritual thingy.

If you are tribalistic, haven't gotten your PVC and complaining you are either just lazy or just terrible person. Please use condom and don't reproduce.

Fashola is in his house enjoying himself and your are here doing beer parlour politics.

Just castrate yourself and don't reproduce again abeg. Nigeria doesn't need your kind.

It all started in a small Bible school that my wife, Melody, and I went to during our first year as believers. One of the teachers had recently been to a seminar where the speaker had gone through all the aspects of each of the gifts and callings on men and women of God. He had talked about teachers, administrators and so on.

The teacher in that class was very excited about sharing all the aspects and characteristics of a prophet to the class. He started reading his notes from the seminar he had been to, and he read things like, “Prophets are very moody, they are often hard to get along with, they see things in black and white and might seem to lack compassion. They are often considered to be rude and brash, but inside they mean very well, and only want to share the truth – but they don’t seem to mind if they step on people’s toes while they do it.”

While our teacher was reading from these notes, I’m sure he didn’t notice the smile spreading across my face from ear to ear. Why, everything he was reading fit me to a tee! I just couldn’t believe my ears … at last, I had found my calling!

To top all this off, when our teacher was through reading, he turned to the class, pointed his finger at me and said, “My friends, we have a prophet in our midst!” Well, that was it – I was hooked. That’s all I needed to hear! It took the Lord about another five years to completely deflate my head from the delusions that innocent and well-meaning Bible teacher helped to promote in my life. A lot of what he shared was true, but it certainly needed a good deal of warning to go with it.

The Prophet Syndrome

This article is sort of a confession. You see, I have struggled with the problem of being labeled a “prophet” for the past six years, and that’s quite a long time, considering I’ve only been a Christian for about seven. I must admit it has kind of a nice ring to it – the word prophet – but I think it causes a lot more trouble than it’s worth.

Because we at Last Days have a nationally-known ministry, many people show up at our door from all over the country and want to see first hand what’s going on. From time to time though, someone shows up with a “word from the Lord.” (I’m not trying to be sarcastic. We’ve had some pretty interesting characters show up at the door.)

We had one guy show up and when we invited him to eat a meal with us, he said that God had told him not to eat. We asked him, “How long?” He said he didn’t know, but he wasn’t supposed to eat. Another time, we had a guy with long robes show up who said that God told him to come and tell all the ministries around here that the Garden of Eden was in the state of Georgia!

These are some extreme examples of something I think is a very common problem in the church today – young people (usually men) who believe that God has raised them up to tell people what is wrong with their ministry or their lives, or both! These people are usually hurt, independent, talkative, stubborn, unteachable and unyielding. I know, because I have been one of them!

What is a true prophet?

God does speak to His people today – not just His special ones – but to all His people. He speaks to them in many ways – through the Holy Spirit who lives in them, through men and women of God in their church and around them, but mainly through the Word of God, the Bible. Whenever the Holy Spirit gives us guidance, it will always line up with the Word God, or it isn’t from Him.

As I was studying His precious Word over the past year, it suddenly dawned on me that my whole view of myself and my calling was all backwards. So many people had told me that I was a “prophet” over the years that I believed “they must be right.” I saw myself as a spokesman to my generation in the church – not the spokesman, but one of a number, chosen by God to be used to correct and exhort believers to obey God and thus win this world for Jesus.

It’s not that I no longer believe that I’m called to do that, it’s just that now I see that every believer is called to do that – to call all Christians everywhere to obey God and win the world for Christ!

The main thing that God has shown me through all this is: I’m not called to be a prophet, I’m called to be a CHRISTIAN – a servant of the living God! That is the HIGHEST calling that anyone can realize. And the most beautiful thing has happened in my heart. My whole goal in life has completely changed – the only thing that I want to achieve, is to have the Lord tell me when I stand before Him, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant! Not, “Well done, thou good and faithful prophet.”

To be a Christian, to live up to that wonderful word – that is my ONLY goal. After all, Paul starts out that meaty book of Romans with these words: “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle.” Not “… an apostle of Jesus Christ, called to be a servant.” No, Paul had his priorities straight – he knew what went first!

A lesson to be learned

I’m sure you know someone in your fellowship who has all the earmarks of being a potential “prophet.” They don’t beat around the bush, but they say exactly what’s on their mind. They aren’t very popular, but they don’t care because they believe that they’re “being persecuted for righteousness’ sake.” They’re always finding fault with almost everything and rarely have a kind word to say.

And the thing that usually happens to these misguided souls with all the rough edges is that somebody tells them, “Hey! I know what you are, you’re a PROPHET!” And then they say to themselves, “ Wow! That’s why people are so down on me all the time! Why that’s just the way they treated Elijah and Jeremiah!”

And then they start getting “words from the Lord” and all the rest that comes along with being a “prophet.” The saddest thing about all this is whenever someone is brash, obnoxious, or loud, we label him a “prophet.”

But you know, deep down inside, most of them really do want to please God, but now they’re so insulated from criticism and protected from rebuke (because they think they’re a rejected “prophet”) that no one can help them or reach them. And unless God intervenes in their lives, they cannot be used in any long-term way because of their unteachable, uncorrectable spirit.

One of the main problems for them is that most of what they see as wrong, really IS wrong! But they have little love or grace to share the truth with – they just aim their big cannons and BOOM! They blow their hearers to bits.

I’m not trying to say that what I wrote or preached in the past was wrong. It’s just that some of it could have been said a little differently – and with a lot more grace. Even so, if the Lord says to speak out on an issue, I’ll be glad and ready to do it – but I must do it as a servant, not as a prophet. That is Jesus’ way.

Hallelujah for the freedom that comes with repentance! Oh, how He makes us new, forgiving us and changing us into His glorious image!

Next in the news. Jega goes on terminal leave, new interim INEC chairman is chosen, Jega resigns. New INEC chairman Riggs election for PDP. Jona wins again.

Isn't he the man??

Shouldn't you push him in by force for another tenure??

Yes you should. So vote him

#GEJ till 2019... Don't miss out!!

Thy lord makes a king over his people. God has make you the president of this country and no propaganda formed against you shall prosper. What no other President of this country has done, u did it and we are leaving prof of it.. They must talk, but it will not distract u because you have not failed your father land. You are going back to finish what you have started. #GEJ4NAIJA

Your English is terrible, you should feel terrible. No winger you are a GEJ robot.

Alaafialoro:
@F0028 .. The quran tells you mohammed is a prophet of God,which is not my problem. As a christian, I don‘t have anything to do with Mohammed and the fact that Jewish don‘t believe Jesus doesn‘t affect my faith. Submission to God has nothing to do with a prophet whose name is not seen in my holy scripture.
Which prophecy are you talking about here? Jesus did not prophesy about ‘muslim‘ or ‘mohammed‘, it‘s just a form of deception imployed by some religious leader to cause confusion.
As for the greek text; you are only sounding ridiculous, that you don‘t speak swahili doesn‘t mean someone can‘t write your biography in swahili.
Finally, if you truly consult neutral sites, you would have posted info from them and not only from ‘ask islam‘, ‘answering islam‘ and similar islamic sites.

You sabi your ground. I like you.

Don't let any propaganda trick you into believing we are serving the same God. Jesus is the only way to God there is none other. Islam will do anything to stand even take cues from a book/religion they don't believe in.

The relationship between Christians and Jehovah is like a father-son relationship, btwn Allah & Muslims its a Master-Slave relationship.

The prophecies about Jesus in the bible is very convincing and there is none about Mohammed in the Old testament. Islam is a lie once its exposed it will fall like a pack or cards. Yes, the very foundation is a lie.

Make i shut up b4 dem come cut off my head.

I love how FFK can just say anything, he's a disgrace.

That if anyone killed a person not in
retaliation of murder, or to spread corruption
in the land – it would be as if he killed all
mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would
be as if he saved the life of all mankind.
The verse states that whoever kills a soul without a
just cause such as in legal punishment for murder or
for causing corruption on earth, then it will be as if
he has killed all mankind because there is no
difference between one life and another.
Allah said:
ﻭَﻣَﻦْ ﺃَﺣْﻴَـﻬَﺎ
If anyone saved a life,
This means by preventing its blood from being shed
and believing in its sanctity, then all people will have
been saved from him, therefore:
ﻓَﻜَﺄَﻧَّﻤَﺎ ﺃَﺣْﻴَﺎ ﺍﻟﻨَّﺎﺱَ ﺟَﻤِﻴﻌﺎً
It would be as if he saved the life of all
mankind.

no cause is greater than jihad. according to Islam

We need change from the heart. We need to love our fellow human. This is where religion is failing especially churches. They go to church for themselves.

usqoh:
PEOPLE ARE HYPOCRITES

When you attack black people, They call it “Racism”, When you attack Jewish people, They call it “Anti-semetism”, When you attack Christian people, They call it “Anti-Crusaders”, When you attack Women, they call it “Gender discrimination”, When you attack Homosexuality, They call “Intolerance”, When you attack a country, They call it “Terrorism”, When you attack religious sect, they call it “Hate speech”, but when they attack at the dignity of our Beloved Prophet MUHAMMAD (PBUH), They call it “Freedom of Expression”. When very few of those who lack self-control react, they call all Muslims terrorists.

WHAT AN HYPOCRITICAL WORLD WE LIVE IN.

Muslims cant denigrate other peoples religious value because we respect you all, yet they make mockery of ours. We Muslims, should leave them and stay calm. They love war and violence, we wont give it to them.

ISLAM IS PEACE.

They make mockery of all religions. Only Islam reacted which only means something. There is something wrong with Islam. PBUH was a narcissist. That's what u get If you offend a narcissist - death and this followers will do as they are told I.e. kill anyone who offends the image of pbuh. My father says the day Islam will allow itself to be questioned is the day it will end.

I must become pastor this year o

Whether you like it or not your heart is all that matters. If we are filthy on the inside we are just wasting time going to Church. You can cover your whole body and go to church but if you are still a sinner you no better than the prostitute out there. You can praise with your mouth and your heart far from God. Once you are a Christian you will know in your heart to dress moderately. Even if someone dresses half naked you won't be offended but you should focus on your own worship. You have no right to judge or be angry. She sins against God not you. Let the judgment be done by God. A lady can go to church with her hair uncovered or not. Its not your business to be angry for God. Pardon me but Christians are so full of shit. They don't know who serves God truly they can vouch people who look like holy holy and condemn people who aren't too holy.

My advice judge no one and vouch for no one but focus on your own spirituality instead of being religious. Religion is a distraction. Spiritually > Religion. Jesus > Religion.

Jesus is Lord

Nice points. Foreigners inductively categorise all Nigerians as scammers while Nigerians take turns in shifting the blame to our Igbo brothers. Nigeria stands as one, but, it's rather pathetic that some Igbos on nairaland (and even their Yoruba brothers) are tribalistic.

to be honest Igbo's are tribalistic. when I was in camp in NYSC all people I rolled with were Igbo. they keep making a statement that makes me unhappy. "That Yoruba boy" "that Yoruba girl" "you are not like the others" "your Yoruba brothers". I see myself as an individual before a human being first. not black, African but human. Some yourbas are very unforgiving too. if they have any bad experience with another race they stereotype the rest. anyways I discovered Nigerians are tribalistic. and we need to put tribe behind us so we can move forward as a nation. to do that u must see yourself and everybody as individuals. and treat them as an entity. then you can study the persons character and choose to continue or stay away.

God bless Nigeria
God bless humanity

Orikinla:
[size=18pt]What makes a university is not the architecture, but the quality of the academic staff.

Using world class standards, these so called universities are not better than high schools in the US and UK or some private secondary schools in Nigeria.

It is sheer stupidity to rush and build structures at the selected locations in Nigeria and call them universities when the old universities are terribly neglected and there are not enough qualified academic teachers for the scores of thousands of students in Nigeria.
You don't put the cart before the horse, except you are an idi-iot. [/size]

You simply read my mind. A lot of people don't even know the worth of their Nation. The older federal universities are still better than this. and you cant compare this with that in the rest of the world. We are the greatest nation in Africa. Universities that their children won't attempt to attend.

I don't have anything against Jonathan but for this I can never vote for Jonathan.

Why 2000 Killed In Nigeria
Is Not World Headlines:
Jonathan Condemns Paris
Attack But Not
#BagaHolocaust
Action / 1 hour ago

The single most deadly event of global terrorism
in recent human history failed to make global
headlines for obvious reasons—it happened in
Nigeria.
On Saturday the 3 of January, Boko Haram
terrorists from Nigeria and Chad stormed Baga
fishing town in Borno state and after
discharging the multinational forces stationed,
begun what will be the worst massacre and
single event of ethnic cleansing of the current
century.
Amnesty International estimates that up to 2000
people were killed. Most reports give equivalent
figures. Corpses have been strewn across the
town, home to population of an estimated
10,000 that has now been wiped off the face of
the earth. Fleeing residents were gunned down
as they ran with the young, women and elderly
as the predominant victims.
In Paris this week, terrorists killed 12 people at
the Charlie Hebdo magazine office and candle-
light processions and other events of global
solidarity have been rampant across the globe.
The perpetrators of the act of terror have already
been narrowed down, identified and killed.
Perhaps the answer to why the world cares little
about the genocidal predicament in Nigeria is
best found in the following comment in the BBC
on January 8th:
“While President Goodluck Jonathan, who is
seeking re-election next month, has condemned
the attack on a French satirical magazine in
Paris as dastardly, he has not commented on
the violence at home, our reporter says.” [http://
www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-30728158 ]
Nigerians continue to tolerate their helplessly
hopeless and clueless leadership which regards
them as little more than monkeys or actually
more worthless than. With a President who fails
to secure life and elevate local and global
attention to out-of-its-control genocides within
the country, the colonialist ruled world
conveniently pretends not to notice.
There are next to no protests for the nation’s
insensitive and hopeless leader to resign or
serious attempts to impeach the President.
Nigerians thus appear tolerant of the pogrom
and as insensitive and lacking of humanity as
their leader… and the hypocritical, pretentious
world will not be bothered.
It is not likely much will be said or anything will
change after this massacre. Unless if by the
ghosts of the dead.

1.Most cowardly people in the world.
2.They can't stand for anything
3.They are never straightforward.
4.They are dirty.
5. Their women are ugly and dirty. Still, they form a lot.
6.They are very lazy.
7.They have big ugly tribal marks.
8.They smell alot.
9.They party a lot.

The jealousy is strong with this one.

Your list is not a Yoruba thing, it's a character thing in most people I know from all over the world.

You need to be open minded to see short coming in every individual.

I blame GEJ

How any cats can you see?

1. the rest are just reflections

darepoju:
who's asking?
and why are you asking....? when that's what the bible said. check below pls

the bible said.....
Proverbs 3:9-10 - Honour the LORD with thy
substance, and with the first fruits of all thine
increase....

also...
Leviticus 23:10-14 - Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be
come into the land which I give unto you, and
shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall
bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest
unto the priest..

also...
Exodus 34:26 - The first of the first fruits of thy
land thou shalt bring unto the house of the
LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in
his mother's milk.

1. talking about harvest
2. still talking about harvest. the first harvest in the land of Canaan
3. still taking about harvest

I should become a pastor. People can be gullible.

it's harmattan and the door is dried. you could hear some sounds like squeaks and knocks

AgentOfAllah:
On the list, south Africa is 15th, Egypt is 27th, Algeria is 55th, Libya is 64th, and Nigeria is 70th. There are four other countries before Nigeria, none of which has to provide electricity to more than half the population of Nigeria, so in what universe is Nigeria 4th in Africa?
Anyway, nice celebration of mediocrity! Keep it up!!!

People like to celebrate mediocrity and call it greatness.

simplemach:
We will surely get there. With GEJ as the captain of the ship, Nigeria will soon become #1 in Africa and may be around #10th in the world. #GoodluckNigeria

Why must you celebrate with Mediocrity.

Jona is the man.

To all GEJ fans and Supporters


























May God run your life the way GEJ is running this country.

Can I hear a resounding Amen.

If your GEJ is doing good please say Amen

Do not judge others...yes...you are right.

but you should stand for truth.

the church should be like the early Christians. Christians nowadays are nothing but religious. even if Jesus comes down to their church in person he would be thrown out. notice the early Christians

Acts of the Apostles 4:32-35 NLT

All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all. There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them and bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need.

but our pastors who claim to be our spiritual Father owns everything belonging to church.

this happens when the people are too religious and don't know Christ.

if you create a school owned by the church but a certain class of people cannot afford to school there. that's dead wrong.

Jesus is Lord

Whether you be Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba. Black, Hispanic or White. Gbogbo ejo no jije. I will FHRITP

Make una still dey dey tribalistic. Maybe they are not human.
