After watching this video, I just laughed at the Igbo peeps in diaspora cos they don't actually know what happened down here. The ipob guys started this mess by looking for hausa people to kill. Only God knows how many hausas were killed last week. The army have now retaliated, u people are now shouting upadan. CNN won't be able to help u guys and for ur info, Donald trump hate CNN with passion. These diaspora peeps should just go back to ur legitimate duties before u all are deported down here.

That is his opinion so many first world country was once worst than Nigeria,they sat in a round table planed and implement their future but is it Nigeria where the winner takes it all that you want things to get better? See bro give Nigeria a million years it will only but get worst, here is the only country where the politicians have succeeded to kill the souls of the youth, no good school, road ,electricity no work yet Nigeria is making billions of dollars every day, the igbo man as widely travel as we are and educated we say NO to such we are too big for such,naturally we don't have business with an Hausa or Yoruba man that's why we want total out from the system

Pesuzok:
Really, can somebody tell me what they hope to achieve from this dialogue?

NK wants Biafra or referendum, or death, what do you want the FG to dialogue about.

Is it that the FG will ask him to stop the agitation in exchange for what exactly.

Nigerians like rhetoric a lot, the same way everybody is saying restructuring but nobody explaining the kind of restructuring they are talking about

TheLordIsGr8:
I certainly applaud what you're trying to do. But "we are all human beings" has never been enough of a unifying force among peoples anywhere in the world. Not in China. Not in America. Not in India. Not in South Africa. Certainly not in Nigeria. Certainly not in Eastern or Northern Nigeria. Faced with a group such as Boko Haram would you rather take up arms or you will hold that "we are all human beings" and submit to their ideology or die at their hands?

Things work the other way round in opposition to your list. First comes oneself (love your neighbour as yourself), then family, then extended family/friends, then tribe/religion, etc. Humanity comes dead last. Even in your group you will get a lot of dissent. "We are all human beings" won't cut it when that time comes. The church has been preaching same thing for ages. You're not the first.

I believe it will do us good if we acknowledge the basic fact that there are things we hold dear more than "humanity". It is not just something with the black man. Look at the USA today. Protests and counter-protests. All for one reason. Not everyone subscribe to that mantra of "we are all human beings". Some things are more important. Like following the law. Due process. Civility.

The question we are still not asking is this: What is this basis of Nigeria's unity? The problems in black Africa today stems from the fact that differing peoples were lumped together without having a chance to negotiate terms of agreement. The result is that instead of being busy negotiating terms of agreement, they're busy negotiating self-determination. What a waste of human resources.

Today there is ECOWAS. It is not perfect yet, but it is a work in progress which has made many gains. Imagine if all of the ECOWAS nations were one country. What do you think they will be negotiating today? You guessed it. Self-determination. The mistake ECOWAS would make is to think that it can acheive 100% unity. Not possible. That is what is ailing the EU today. There were not content with just making gains. They became greedy and wanted the whole pizza. They wanted the wolf and the lamb to lay together; for the Now we see the EU will only go downhill. Maybe not soon. But it will happen. Look at the India and Pakistan. Look at the world over. Its the same story.
If Nigeria and Biafra were separate countries today, believe me they will be negotiating terms of unifying into what, in the prophetic words of Solomon Dalung will be called the United States of Nigeria (and Biafra). Look at the USA and the UAE. Same story.


Look at Italy. The Vatican is its own country within Italy. Places such as Milan, Bologna etc were separate city states. But over time they negotiated terms of unity to form what we see today as modern Italy.
Look at Europe. They've tried to negotiate terms for a unified Europe through the EU. But Britain has pulled out. Poland and its Eastern neighbours are giving the EU a hard time. Surely they are all human beings. But when push comes to shove a common humanity just don't cut it. Its a shared heritage among us all, but it comes dead last in our list of allegiance. This holds for every human being irrespective of place and time. You as well, cos you will rather admit someone who chants same mantra into your group than you would admit someone who doesn't. That's where your allegiance lies. Not with humanity.

About having a bad peace than another Biafran war. Look at it this way. Lets use a case of husband and wife. If you were to be judge in case where a woman demands freedom from her husband for reason that she don't want to be with the man again. Not that the man did anything you consider "wrong" as a judge. But instead of the man to plead with her or give her her freedom, he promptly declared war on her, beating her to the point of hospitalization. As a judge, would you tell the woman, "go home and have a bad peace with your husband. I rather have that than another round of war" or would you throw the man in jail?

Now imagine millions of such cases in your court. If you would condone the case for one, why not go ahead and make a unitary declaration. To all victims of domestic violence, go home and have a bad peace. Case closed. Nothing to hear. Does that sound like a dictator to you?

Before anyone accuses me of tribalism they are welcome to go through my posts if they have time to find out the truth. I don't make tribally or racially-charged statements. I detest such myopic vision in all its forms. But it was Jesus who said "the truth shall set you free".

Variety, they say, is the spice of life. To hold that "we are all human beings and nothing else matters" is being used to vehemently deny variety.

What is dis one saying?Who eyes don clear?Yu know deep inside yu dat those opportunist don't represent us.

Addicted2Women:

Religion is the biggest scam in the history of mankind.

The Bible is a cool children's story book

A lovely heavenly father who lives in the clouds, sleeps on a gold bed but watches his children die of cancer here on earth

You mean a man who cured the sick, fed the poor,
cast out demons but couldn't handle 3 nails on the cross

A man fed 5 thousand people with 2 fishes ??

A virgin who has never been with a man miraculously got pregnant by the holy Spirit ??

I'm not mentally unstable enough to believe your stupid story and religion

Ereolamide:
These are not Igbo governors, they are Afonja Bonsurudeen from Ogbomosho and Oshogbo.

paiz:
The only problem we have with yorubas is that they are cowards
They can stand up foq their right
Apart from that they are too dirty

The disadvantages out weighs the advantages.
Since you get to spend more time with your work spouse, you might start catching unnecessary feelings especially if you are seeing everything you want in a man in him or when he/she is doing what you expect your husband/wife to do.

Reason why we fall in love is because of the attention we give or get from our lover.So if I'm getting good attention and steady care from my work spouse what will stop me from catching feelings?

aku626:
People bashed the above post cause they don't understand what it means to be a pastor neither does the OP who I believe is a fake, his so focused on feeding stomachs that the very essence of becoming a pastor is thrown away, if you're this clueless why pastor a church? Why seek the advice of 'men' on the things of God? Why not liaise with your likes for solution? If I have a problem as a carpenter I won't go meet a mechanic for a solution or go into a market to search for one, it should be tailored.
I'm disappointed in the OP. Jesus fed multitudes miracles first: spiritually then physically your spiritual goal comes first, when you start thinking physically then you wither spiritually, a Christian life is based on faith if your faith fails you're advised to excercise more faith by praying(take the feeding of the 5k.
If you wish to help them you must setup institutions to alleviate them from lack my church goes to a poor neighborhood to preach every Sunday well it's more established than yours so we can afford food and gifts but moreover we've setup things for them to make extra cash. You don't even need to do it with your own money or that if the church liaise with the govt to pick regular members for govt funded programs in the state, and if that fail liaise with the bigger church or churches to have them cater for the regular ones first.
Op use your faith sk for wisdom not everyone is supposed to be a pastor.

pastoray:
Proverbs 4:7, "Wisdom is supreme – so acquire wisdom, and whatever you acquire, acquire understanding!"

You brought a spiritual matter into a platform you know too well... You've allowed the infidels to judge what they can't understand because of their folly. May God have mercy on you. If you have a problem with sorting yourself out, seek counsel from the right mind...

Lastly, Proverbs 11:14, "Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Shalom!

fyneguy:
Prior to every FEC meeting, the SGF secratariat sends agenda details to all members atleast 2 days before the meeting. Since Monday was Sallah, there's no way the details could get to members 2 days before the meeting.
