When Saraki and Dogara left APC Buhari responded courteously and wished them well in their choices.
But I can't say the rest of APC members and their chairman are that courteous.
They talk like ...
It shows that they are sore losers and have no sportsmanship trait.
After all most of APC members came from other political parties.
Why do APC members insult and curse people who leave them?
Is it a cult? Some religious bodies do that also, when one leaves their congregation they begin to castigate them

We preach repentance not casting down
Correction, judgment and help brings repentance, change and newness

There is life in Jesus Christ

Helping others in doing good, is a good thing, but it is important not to take a self-righteous stance in anything, or toward anyone - "As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; - Romans 3:10 (Also Isaiah 64:6, Romans 3:23)


"In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." - Jeremiah 23:6

Blessings!

Thanks and God’s blessings.
Self righteousness is even something to judge against.
If we see anyone who is self righteous like that pharisee who while praying saw another man and was comparing his accolades, we should speak out. If Jesus did not speak out by using him as an example or parable, we all would not have known that even self righteous is a sin. It makes less of Jesus' sacrifice for us on the cross.
Finally when Paul was giving out his achievements/sufferings, he was not boasting but encouraging brethren.
If you see someone tell a boy not to smoke, don't be surprised that that "correcter" was once a chain smoker and knows better now to save his lungs and life.
Fear of being called holier than thou has made many people recoil from correcting people who are going wrong.
Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins. James 5:20.

Almaiga:
All the information I stated above are first hand info, not some "stereotypes". Like I stated earlier, I've been in Benin for over three years now. So I know Benin and their character like the back of my hand.

Calm down in 3 years you can't know any tribe.
You only know those you have interacted with and encountered.
Also many of the criminals you think are indigenes are not. Many are not from Edo.
Imagine Evans said he operated in Edo, he's not Edo. He kidnapped Odiete and Uyo technical owner.
Truth be told many riff riffs, criminal elements, ,and grabbers, cultists and ritualis, aye lala and co are not indigenes or indigenous to Edo.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS CRIME IN EDO,
but please Almaiga e dey everywhere, when you leave Edo you will know what you had while you where there, trust me, there are dens in other parts of Nigeria.

Take away pride, laziness, gangs, bad influence from returnees, entitlement mentality and lack of fear of God Almighty, from many of these Edo people you see engaging in crime and you'll see that Edo state can be a truly blessed state that it's meant to be.

[quote author=Favor99 post=71453380][/quote]I truly admire your loyalty, love and support for your state.
Many people don't seem to know how to separate Edo as a state from Benin as it's capital.
So people just generally hate anything Edo. This is sad and bad.

I support you Favor99 in saying that no place in Nigeria has the monopoly for crime and evil.
Funny thing I've heard someone from one of the big 3 tribes as you have put it, say that Benin people are learning when it comes to jazz from their side.
- yet people attribute Benin or Edo to witchcraft. Smh

People say that Edo is criminal but all the time I am in Benin i don't face them, but I was robbed twice in one of the big cities in one of the big 3 tribes of Nigeria.
People say Edo girls like prostitution but these exist in large numbers in other regions in Nigeria who do covertly. Non-Edos also are the ones patronising these so called Edo prostitutes.

The most intelligent family in the UK are Edos. Omotola's husband is from Edo. Aboniki balm and minimie chinchin are produced in Edo. NIHORT palms located in Edo is what made Malaysia great. Okomu oil, Presco, Gelegele port, Ososo hills, Okpella cement where BUA and Dangote are fighting over are in Edo. Many of your sports people, TV people (Suleiman Of TVC, John Momoh of BON, Chris Iliems of Channels and so many others are from Edo), business people Ine oil and motors, and others I can't remember for now are from Edo. Wives of many of your big men, monarchs, politicians are from Edo. Fashola finished from Uniben. Sultan of Sokoto served in the military for a long while in Benin. The 2017 UNILORIN convocation lecture was by a Bini man who has several phds. The man with several phds and masters making drones for the USA military is an Edo man. Is it in politics? see your APC chair, Daisy Danjuma, Obahiagbon, Matthew who called for impeachment for someone who was travelling so much. Murtala Mohammed was originally was the northern part of Edo. Abdulsalaam's vice was Edo. IBB's was an Edo man... I don tire, I no be historian. Is it in medicine? The longest serving doctor for Aso rock was an Edo man. Stella Obasanjo was Edo. Long serving chairman of UBA, and that of Access are Edos (Bello-Osagie and Aig-Imuo... (i can't spell it). Owner of Arik air and the then Okada air are Edos. The word Okada which is used for motor bikes is from Edo. Archbishop Benson Idahosa who mentored many of your pastors and bishops was Edo (Bini), Lagos cardinal Okojie is Edo. Your Tboss na Edo and Mercy Aigbe, Owen G, Djinee, Victor Uwaifo, Alex Osifo and even late Sam Loco. Please allow me to rest, I don tire, post don dey too long.

From this post I've tried not to mention any tribe, people or state or even region.
I am not from Edo state.
I am not from any of the big 3 tribes.
My family cuts across 4 different tribes and I've in laws from other tribes.
By reason of school, NYSC, further schooling, conferences, conventions, work and passing through including deliberate vacations and visits, I have been privileged to have been to all the regions (not fully been to North-East, except Bauchi) in Nigeria and almost 28 states if not more. By being to, I mean stayed upwards 3 months, 2 days or even 5 years. I have been to all those place without prejudice or attempt to avoid those places. I served in a state that even my own sister had earlier redeployed from . I've been posted to schools in places that I had little or no control over including Benin city and Auchi.

I have witnessed crimes, prostitution, internet fraud, cultists, armed robbery, assassination, diabolic acts, rituals, occultism and all sorts of crimes in more states than in Benin, but who's comparing not i because it's not something to brag about, demean another about, or castigate anyone for.
We all have to work for the safety in Nigeria.
Netherlands is closing down prisons and we say it's a safe country. We don't mention any particular state in it, we just say the entire country.
How much cooler will it be if we all as Nigerians can gladly say that Nigeria as an entire country is a peaceful and safe place. That would be awesome.

I love Nigeria.
I hate tribalism, prejudice, heating up the political, lies, superiority complexes, stereotypes and evil propaganda.

#prayforEdostate

So any important person that 'people' troll here will come to our houses to beat us

Just joking Sisomugo!
You are right
But the fact that there are chances of meeting a Nigerian in faraway places at such close ranges as seat partners is interesting.
I always wonder when I run into familiar people in places i lest expect to see familiar people does not allow me to make trouble just joking

Now to your entire point.
I BEG EVERYONE BE IT ON NAIRALAND OR IN REAL LIFE,
I BEG DEY RESPECT PEOPLE. YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHO SOMEONE IS BEFORE YOU RESPECT THE PERSON.
ONE REASON I'D WAHALA IN ONE PLACE I WORKED WAS BECAUSE I GREETED THE CLEANERS THE SAME WAY I
GREETED THE BOSSES
I'D USE MA AND SIR FOR SECURITY MEN AND CLEANERS AND THE SAME SIR AND MA FOR MY SUPERIORS.
BUT REALLY WHAT AM I TO SAY OR DO? SPIT ON MY SUBORDINATES? THAT'S SO STRANGE.

I went to university along side a girl who used to be my parent’s help and after school she landed a big job with the state government office she served at.
Now only God knows where she is and others like her who the world would have looked down on. God owns tomorrow oh


But isn't it strange how people prejudice people based on their background, family name or economic or educational status, as in, what's that?
Who cares? Respect yourself, comport yourself and don't carry yourself like you be wetin na abi no be all of us dey go toilet. Even the queen ones called political, religious leaders and celebrities go to toilet by THEMSELVES forget the money! Toilet no get class.

No one knows tomorrow.
@op i dey suspect one dude wey i know wey fit that your description oh, him na dual citizen and USA military person, but as for being in Seoul presently or being on NL i no know oh.

Respect everyone. Anyone that does not respect him or herself, give the person gap so you don't end up disrespecting them and denying your home trainibg

True report

Tax payers money paid for an inconclusive man-made preventably flawed election

Dear friends who have not been given to a reprobate heart and mind,

There is absolutely nothing wrong in speaking in love to ANYONE old or young, familiar or stranger, who you think ought to know or those who are still learning, or one who is going along the path of wrong and destruction. After all a way may seem right to them but it leads to destruction and you know it!�

Judge that you won't be judged (Matthew 7:1) is a verse that must be read along with with 'removing the error/log in your eyes first' (Matthew 7:5)- if not, not even your parents, teachers or clergy can correct or instruct you!

God disciplines those He loves.
Love your neighbours as yourself.
Do unto others what you like done to you.
The measure with which you judge others is what will be used for you.
Judge righteous judgment (John 7:24).

Unless you are not sure of your stand in God or you are enjoying your weakness, surrendering to your sins, enabling your little foxes, enthroning your falls and celebrating your wrongs.

You have a duty to help ANYONE who God tells you in your spirit to help. He Who sends you will make a way and will Himself bring about the change. Just be the servant of the Most High God.

This help is in the sense that you can correct anyone in love when you see them go wrong. Even those far far away! Paul wrote letters! Wow now we have electronic media, bravo!

But really why ask,
"Didn't their fathers and mothers see them before they left home?"
"Is it me that gave them money to buy what is destroying them?"
"Will I be there when they are dancing to the music in prison?"
"Will I go on admission in the hospital with them?"
"Don't they have sense, or eyes?"
"Am I the only one seeing them or who can talk to them?"�

Really? Many of us won't be where we are if we did not have people, older or younger than us, strangers and those known to us, who did not judge, teach, scold, correct, criticise, appraise, chastise, discipline or help us to the right path.

I am proudly a product of discipline, direction, teaching, judgment and correction in love... and I am justified by faith in Jesus Christ. Now in love and for love I'll help ANYONE God directs me to, even if it means judging cause I accept to be judged and helped till I live in perfection in eternity with God my Father! �

Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins. James 5:20.

Have a fantastic new week Nlders

Na so him win over AJ go block

May she rest in peace
Just sad

How to be a billionaire would have been a better movie
Who marrying a billionaire help
I should use my 1hr 30mins to see a girl kissing a guy
Then marrying him at the end
Finish na
Another thing still dey

dingbang:
I dey broke now oo..

It is well

Oh how I wish other teaching hospitals do the same
From my house on Clapperton road i could see UDUTH
i even went for a dental procedure there.
I hope the hospital has improved though
The road leads straight to state secretariat
Kai nostalgia, pleasant one at that
To think I couldn't wait to leave then

dingbang:
how about year ending

No now, that's almost festive period, things will be expensive, people's minds will be up and there will be too many desperados

How many of us have watched the video of this man's house in his village
I'm not saying anything oh but...

dingbang:
I think I will visit Abeokuta before the year runs out. Who is in with me on this trip? Let's make it happen..


Meanwhile esteemed first bank customers, y'all can now perform amazing transactions on the first mobile app such as getting soft loans through the app. Click the link on my signature for steps to register and bank your way.

I'm seriously interested in going
What's the plan

What a country
And Femi came from the family of the 4th estate himself
No one will make such statementing he were not at least 70% sure
If he comes out to say he didn't verify at all
He must apologise to the 'presidency' and debit from such

What is sad is that there are others like him who have not been caught and those who would emulate him
Truly deplorable
The world doesn't just need development in roads, electricity and good hospitals, if that's all countries like Sweden or Japan would be paradises.
But we know those countries have their own problems of high suicide rate, earthquakes and others
This is what obtains in every developed country and indeed the whole world

We need Jesus
Only God can strengthen us to understand why things like this happen in this world
This world is ruled by Lucifer and he hates humanity/mankind
Because of the love, devotion and forgiveness God has for us that the devil does have,
Satan's end is destruction and the lake of fire primarily set for him and his fellow fallen angels
But Satan is bent on dragging as many people along with him to hell

God didn't make hell for us He made in His likeness and even still sent Jesus His Son to redeem and save
But don't be fooled by false prophets and preachers
The God of mercy and grace is the same God of justice and judgement

The wages of sin is death
The place for the unrepentant sinner can never be the same with that of the contrite ones
Don't be deceived
God is not mocked, we reap what we sow
If we allow Satan to possess and own us, we forsake Jesus and His promises
Satan will use his own to-

Rape a dog
Brag of sleeping with underage girls
Tag your self a gossip, celebrity gossip, gossip blog and all
Blaspheme the name of God in NL posts and lyric of songs and sitcoms
Turn the purpose of s.ex to satisfy demonic desires of homosexuality, paedophilia, orgies, masturbation or pornography
Have pride in making money by illegitimate means like yahoo, yahoo +, ritual, oloshoism, jigoloism, conversion or stealing

We need help
Stop being casual and lazy
Everything is not conspiracy theory or jokes or spiro things
Drop the i don care attitude
Open your eyes and be discerning
Stop being babies in this go of faith and the spirit
Stop waiting for or relying on others to read your Bible for you to know what's up
Gird yourself
Take up your destiny and redeem your body, soul and spirit by belonging to Jesus.

This is my message
Be encouraged

Do you know growing up in said nobody in his sense will allow anyone put the mark of the beast 666 on his head or hand s because we have been told the consequences and the past and future of the devil area and his followers.

But with the way the world is going a number of people have become more insensitive, insensible and loveless

Even when there is a big signpost that says "this is the way to meet Satan in hell fire forever" some people will still go out of the spirit of rebellion, false adventurous spirit, earthly wisdom/logic and pure scorn to those who will speak and kick against the path.

Salvation is personal
When you are on the tracks running, it's not advisable to look at others, but focus on your own
But if another athlete is pouring oil, banana peels or water on the tracks, wisdom is profitable to instruct - caution that person
At the end na all of una go still suffer am

Humanity is a common race, there is nothing like that is his or her business. Sensible people watch out for each other.
For instance letting a known drunkard or epileptic person drive his 'own' car (which is his business, his car, his life) can invariably still affect you if he has an accident and jams all the other cars on his way, including yours.
For example again, letting a registered sex offender in your neighbourhood to organise night vigils for the children on your street is your business
Speak out.
I support the op
I don't have candy crush at all
But I know many games, cartoon, labels, jingles, songs, trends, fashions, celebrities, shows, sitcoms are all on the agenda of the devil in these last days

Stay vigilant,
Satan won't tempt you with bitter Kola but with candy and succulent apples

Who did this to this op
Unless he is emoney's publicist or something
Monitoring and reporting about a guy's personal life is...

He's playing golf
I don't blame people for patronising groundnut sellers or cutting kpomo.
It's the people that bring this to public fora and make this trend that I wonder at

May she rest in peace

May he rest in peace

Let's see how long it will last
Some owners will be careless just to prove their purchase

Cliché
But true

Depressing

I think to a large extent that the rise in sexual offences and pervasion is as a result of
S.ex sells syndrome.
From
Playboy mansion
To pornography hub on the Internet and DVDs
To lewd music and music videos and movies and shows
To lewd jokes
To ikebe super type of magazines of those days and cartoons like family guy and others
To lewd gestures like the middle figure and others
To lack of recreational activities to keep us occupied
People in boredom, idleness, excess energy, poverty, extravagance, drunk, drugged, overdosed, over hyped, abused, immature, possessed, psychopaths, sociopaths, caged, .... just name it

All kinds of people the world is breeding, encouraging, enhancing and sadly celebrating.
Check it,
Abroad and in Nigeria
Many politicians, entertainers, clergy and city states (Hollywood, Ph, Las Vegas, etc) have become popular due to one sexual deviance, crime or comment at one time or the other.

People who do not make sexual remarks, jibes or jokes or comments are seen as odd, holier than thou, pretenders, closetted homos/pedophiles/eunuchs/mastubators
Who engage secret sin

Oh boy, this is not true. You can be very sexual, healthy, normal, straight and still be pure in thoughts and body. Don't be fooled by those saying body no be firewood or that's how God made them. It's Satan that led sin into the world. Normal people have no erotic feelings with the wrong people. A son and his mother, a priest and his mass server, a pastor and his chorister, a sister and her brother, a driver and his oga's 13 year old daughter, a man and a man, woman and woman, human and animal, human and instrument or inanimate things- dildos or dolls, man and a 2 year old, woman and her unconsenting juvenile male student, married man and his female student, employer and prospective employee, threesomes, strip clubs, orgies and the list is endless.

Man (that is humanity- male and female) cannot serve God and mammon
Mammon is often referred to as money or money's worth
Sexual sins are often linked to money
Hence man is fast becoming a worshipper of s.ex and all that pertains to it. It excites him, it enlivens him, it defines him, it controls him and finally -
It depresses and destroys him.

Finally,
Check it
Abroad and in Nigeria
Many sensational and widely circulated talked about deaths have been caused by s.ex

Let's ask God for His Holy Spirit, grace and mercy, to be able to master sin, master self, have self control, love for others, honour for our bodies and fear of God.
Remember
"Happy are those who are pure in spirit, for they shall see God" - Jesus Christ

Posts like this remind me of Hints

Please those who get any of these jobs posted on NL should come and testify oh
Let others be encouraged to try and not be discouraged
Let's break this notion that it's only who know man dey get job
Peace

Go on with one protest
Make Nigeria great again
Protest against anything bad
We gather ya back

Please
People are battling cancer, bereavement, trauma, hunger and poverty, envious people and bitter family matters
And these politicians are fighting to ensure their stomachs their gods remain fed and fat
Politicians do not battle to remain in power to ensure their projects (if they have any) are fully completed and not truncated by new politicians/governments
They do not fight to ensure killings in the communities in their states
They don't battle corruption, malpractice and contract inflation or rigging
No oooooo, they fight for dominance, political relevance and power tussle
Shame on bad people
Shame on bad politicians
Shame on bad followers
Shame on their supporters and those who condemn and ridicule and hush people who speak against them (whether sincerely or for personal motives). If they deserve rebuke, don't justify them, tell them.
