Yes in the spirit of Belzeebub ! I have no intention of contesting that,thank you .

Jairzinho:
I wonder how illiterates found their way to the politics section? This is a serious issue & all what your reprobate minds can think of is Igbo this . . . yoruba that !

MTFs !

The moderator needs to wake up,there is clearly a racism/tribalism board. . . .go there for all your mindless rants !

To the issue at hand,it just shows ever so clearly the failings of the current police set up. If this crime (kidnapping) isn't nipped in the bud,its going to become a really serious issue,ask Mexico !

bibiking1:
It would amount to an utter waste of time to comment on an incoherent piece of misinformation. However, i was drawn blithely to illusion2's wrong assertion that Awolowo never meddled in his party's affairs! Please revert back to the year 1965 and the chaos of 1966 between Awo and his hitherto godson Akintola

And what happened then? I never said he 'didn't meddle in party affairs',what I said was "Awo never had an overbearing attitude to his partymen"in the mould BAT is purportedly going!

The Akintola story basically boiled down to disagreements with the future direction of the party ,although thats a long,long story for another day !

For the doubting thomases,I would only say . . ."there's no smoke without fire"

Indications have emerged that last week’s resignation of former Special Adviser to Governor Babatunde Fashola on Information and Strategy, Mr. Segun Ayobolu, was not basically due to health crisis as originally announced, thus leaving members of the State Executive Council to wonder if the health condition of Ayobolu was so critical to warrant his resignation.


THISDAY gathered that Ayobolu was compelled to resign his appointment because he “is a die-hard patriot of former Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu whose relationship with Fashola has been described as frosty, grim and hoarse.”
Both Fashola and Tinubu have however maintained a silent mood on the crisis.


THISDAY gathered that Fashola had indicated that he could no longer trust his former aide as a member of the State Executive Council because of adverse implications it might have on his political calculation for the 2011 general elections.


The governor is said to be secretly lobbying his party leaders to enable him get a re-election, even though he publicly said recently that it was premature to talk about 2011.


THISDAY learnt that Ayobolu’s problem with Fashola started before the governor was nominated as the gubernatorial candidate of the Action Congress (AC) in 2007, a position to which Ayobolu among other Tinubu’s patriots opposed. But after his nomination, Ayobolu, like others, had no choice other than to throw his political weight behind the party’s candidate.


But given his diversified communication skills, it was gathered that Tinubu had to nominate him to be Fashola’s special adviser on information and strategy after Fashola won the 2007 gubernatorial race in Lagos state on the platform of AC, though Ayobolu did not have it good serving under Fashola .

Further investigation however shows that the former special adviser “is actually sick, but the nature of his illness does not stop him from effectively discharging his responsibilities as the information and strategy adviser to Governor Fashola.” But while addressing the council meeting last Monday, Ayobolu spoke clear and loud, suggesting that health problem is not a true reason for his resignation.

Ayobolu last week formally announced his intention to quit the Lagos State Executive Council over persistent health crisis which he said he had been battling with since 1984 when he was a student in the University of Ibadan, Nigeria.

'Though he is not entitled to security votes, but sources within the party said that the N2.1 billion monthly commission paid to his consulting firm, Alphabeta, is well over the governor’s security vote.'
Is this true?

Yes,its true. . . they are revenue consultants to the LASG. . . .dat one no do?

Kay 17:
Tinubu is a dirty man, Fashola is a dirty man. both came together and formed an unhealthy alliance to plunder Lagos. if Fashola was such a good leader, how would he be hanging around with this or that godfather. we need a true leader not a demagogue.

What planet are you coming from? This is Nigeria my friend. . . at the moment politics is being played at such 'dirty' level,until those of us dorning suit & tie, decide to get interested, which is what Fash a SAN has done. Lets support the man & like minded people against political jobbers.
Tinubu also turned against the Ijebu mafia when he had to & everyone stood by him.  He(BAT) did well by giving Lagos a good gov ^{unlike OBJ who bequeathed on us}   ,he shouldn't  screw it up with all these shenanigans  

Na wa o ! Thanks for the update.

Like I'd stated before in another thread,Tinubu will lose all the respect  all forward looking lagosians have for him,if he continues with this plot.

The fact is,our parents had to wake up one day to the fact that we had become adults,its usually a very difficult time esp when they (parents) recall changing ones diapers,breastfeeding,taking one to school etc.  However,its a fact of life that we all one day will grow up. and there's a popular Yoruba saying that the child grows up to catch up with the adult.

Nigerians (and most especially Lagosians) are  increasingly getting politically concious. The days of one man calling the shots are over.

The end game as I see it is this.

1. Tinubu insists on the current destructive path and Fash wins via another party;the repercussions of which would include the end of any national aspirations of AC as a party/force. .  .outside the regular press briefings of Lai Mohammed 

2. The infighting gives PDP a chance to get into Alausa& that should be goodbye to Tinubu as a political factor in Lagos & SW.

3. Even if BAT(Bola Ahmed Tinubu) succeeds in this current misadventure,I'm more than certain that Banire or Ikuoriji will follow the same path,if they become Govs.

If any one knows Asiwaju,please help tell him he should not assume anything. . . . .and also practice the progressive democracy he preaches. . . .Awo never had an overbearing attitude to his partymen. . . .take note. . . everyone is watching you.


History is on Fash's side,few godfathers win this game in Nigeria,esp if the incumbent is performing


EKO O NI BAJE O !!!

I'm sure the early church had their challenges as well. They had the rich and the poor. They had corrupt preachers who favoured certain people because of ther wealth. They had occultic people who did magic and tried to use the name of Jesus to vover up. Yes, circumstances may have changed but attitudes remain the same, so it is absolutely possible to live like the early christians. I won't deny that obviously we have more obstacles, as temptations are now easily accessible, but then we have guidelines on how to avoid these.

When I say we're living in a different world now,I'm talking literally & not necessarily spiritually. The spiritual aspects may actually be similar. Economically speaking the early recorded church in Acts practised what we now call socialism;everyone brings everything & we all share, that isn't practical today.

The main gist for me is that we should stop being gullible. . . . . .reason everything out. . . . . . . . . .stop all these "because this 'man of God' said it,so it has to be true". . . .we have more than ample evidence to show that 'men of God' can (and continue to) make mistakes.

Secondly because he is a 'man of God' doesn't mean he is more important than you ! God created everyone of us for a purpose !

naijacutee:
Because we are corrupt and greedy, that's why. We christians are seeking first money, power and "breakthrough", when we were commanded to seek first the kingdom of God. How far have we strayed from the first set of christians. If we go back to the book of Acts and study how the first generation of christians lived, we would be ashamed of ourselves. No one is saying that all christians should live in poverty, especially in Nigeria where poverty is seen as something worse than leprosy. It's all about living to glorify God, not living to make money and show everyone that you're not suffering.

Partially true. . . . but we can't live exactly like the early christians. The world is very different now. The Bible should always be read in context.

REAL TRUTH:
Now just imagine a thing like that?? Pastor Bimbo's tape message still does great things in peoples life,,,how can someone be saying because of the way she dresses,,then she is going hell,,,in that regards,,whoever told anybody that the cloth we wearing now is what God wants us wear in the first place,,,as humans,,we should be wearing aprons,leafs and palmfronds,,

The main objective is to have people in this perpertual fear of going to hellfire,so they spend every day of the week  in church . . . hoping & praying to make heaven. Continuously giving their all and  questioning nothing. . . . ,  . . .  & yet from this 'revelation' nothing is guaranteed. . .meanwhile pastor is sorting himself in this life ,but encouraging you to forget this world & invest in your eternity. . . .

REAL TRUTH:
My guy you actually beat me to this,,,Kumuyi has only 2 children,,,and they both are studying in the US,,,What is wrong with Nigerian Unversities?,,On a more seriuos note,,,I only have respect for Kumuyi and Bakare amongst all Nigerian pastors,,,however people should always use their heads when dealing with any pastor whether they kumuyi or Bakare,,,Imagine the scenerio U just painted,,,if your dad turned down that opportunity,,what becomes of your generation in a country like Nigeria where pastors now sends their kids abroad to stduy,,,

Precisely. . . . .so rather than people applying common sense to whatever they hear in church,they take it hook,line & sinker. And whenever anyone raises any issue you are working for the devil. My GO has a house in the UK. I respect him,but people should open their eyes. . . .

Imagine someone saying he went to hell & saw somebody else ,& he was given the opportunity to come back to the earth  

Its a really sad fact. . . . . , 

I recall something that happened a few years back :

My dad worships with deeper life,now I have nothing but respect for the GS of deeper life (pastor Kumuyi),but  during one of his sermons ,he preached against US Visa lottery,calling it 'modern slavery'. . . . my dad(like most church members) accepted this funny point of view & we had an argument about this.

Now I came across a magazine article recently in which pastor kumuyi stated that his 2 sons are studying in the US.

Now ,why would you paint the US as some sort of slave depot,while your children are trying to get a better life there?

Nigeria !!! People worship pastors more than God. Any attempt to take them (pastors) up on their statements,is met with 'we are not supposed to question 'men of God' or 'let God judge'. We seem to have this false impression that God loves the pastor more than every other person?

Judge everything anybody tells you and don't be gullible !

We have the highest percentage of 'holy men',yet the most prevalent corruption and poverty in Africa.

Start thinking !!! Its not a SIN TO REASON.

The suicide bomber is told he should not reason,cos it may be the 'devil' trying to confuse him. . . . . the same reasoning is now in christianity

The church leaders have their children in America & UK and they continue to tell you to pray & it will be well

Quick question. . . & I ask this sincerely :

How will sinners condemned to hell fire feel the fire when their bodies(& sensory organs) are left here on earth?

Enlightened responses please. . . .

manmacho:
BEFORE YOU CAN ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD YOU HAVE TO BE HOLY (SINLESS)
OBVOIUSLY YOU ARE NOT
SO HOW CAN GOD WHO CAN NOT STAND THE ONE SIN OF ADAM PERMIT YOUR SIN DRUNK SELF INTO HIS KINGDOM IS NOT GOD A GOD OF JUSTICE^{completely incoherent}

RAPTURE NO BE WISHFULL THINKING NA BY RIGHT GIVEN TO THOSE ARE HAVE BEEN CLEANSE BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

ATTIANING HOLINESS IS ONLY THRU THE ACCEPATNCE OF CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR CHIKENA

You seem more like the drunk to me. . . , . .no sober mind would this garbage

kola oloye:
The bible says," except a man repent and be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God".
For any one at all to see the kingdom of God he has to be raptured first. Your license to be raptured is by identifying with Jesus.You identify by giving your life to him (born again)
Soooo, you can now draw your conclusion.

Update : To ENTER the kingdom of God you need to be 'born of the water & of the spirit'(John 3:5).

The word 'Rapture' as you may well know is not mentioned in the Bible,it was coined by early christians to describe the events in 1Thess 4 (15-17).

These two events(Kingdom of heaven & rapture) tho' related arent exactly mutually exclusive.

citizenY:
And illusion 2 for VP, CBN has become a recruitment zone. Soludo, now Sanusi, I will campaign for you.

unfortunately I don't work in CBN

But honestly,my people have a saying. . . 'If you gotta eat a frog. . . go for the one with eggs'

At least Sanusi has a vision,you may not entirely agree,but he has one.

Yar'Adull isn't only seriously indisposed,but absolutely clueless. . . .I mean he took 2 YEARS OF HIS PRESIDENCY TO STUDY NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS,his 7 point agenda was obviously just propaganda & he can't even take the honourable decison to resign

Since the presidency has been 'assigned' to the North. . . .this is a good opportunity to draft in a progressive like Sanusi (CBN governor) !!!

Just confirms the hypocrisy in religion in Nigeria. people pretend to have a form of holiness just for effects & not really as per a way of life.

kola oloye:
INTERPOLATE

@OP
It is a big lie from the pit of HELL.
If you are not born again you will never be raptured

Says who? Please help find any association between  those 2 words (born again & rapture) from the Bible & revert as soon as possible,thank you.

There are many problems in Nigeria, hunger, poverty etc. the least thing any one should be intrested in should be religious debate. She dies while throwing the stone so what, other people died having sex not even with their spouse.

Iwant to appeal to Davidlyan and others, we can all not be the same race or religion, my observation is you hate muslims so much, why/ maybe if you explain we could understand. God created all of us, and no one has been given certifcate to paradise yet, how are u sure u are write, every one just read the holy books

I concur. . . .someone's mother,daughter,sister or wife has just passed,lets respect the memory of the departed.

who are these 'faceless politicians'? Where were they when electoral malpractice was the order of the day?

The fact is 'THEY DON'T COUNT' ! The politicians that count couldn't care less (legislators)


Sad,but true. . . .
