Because you're used to the old order where violation of national protocol doesn't seem to you a disrespect and embarrassment to the president.

This is a purely personal issue to the people concerned. In fact this is a non issue. Rather these people should stop wasting national resources on useless trips abroad in the name of pilgrimage. How does these pilgrimages stop the scourge of boko haram in the country if I may ask?

dayo23:
them dey flex our kush the way they want, am actually suprise Mr President hasn't even sack dem yet

He should sack them and lead the war from the front as he promised

Dosinspector:
BUHARI should also relocate to northeast and take the Lead to sambisa afterall he is a General

True talk!

vedaxcool:
One moral porthole some Nigerians suffer from, unless an illegality affects u, it should be swept under the rug. No u can't have real governance administered by forgers and fraudsters.

while talking about forgers the case of one Mohammed buhari came to mind!

Maxymilliano:
Read through piece and couldn't grab any tangible reason for the attack on Tinubu than the usual refrain of the role he played in sending Pdp packing after 16 years.


You ask yourself if the attacks on the person of Tinubu is from Pdp.


The ass licker of a writer should be informed that the attacks; imaginary or otherwise, is sponsored by members of Apc, and not PDP.


Timi Frank who disagree openly with the issue of party supremacy is the deputy national publicity secretary of Apc, not Pdp.


Bukola Saraki, Dogara, Ndume et al are all card carrying members of Apc.


Tinubu and other stakeholders should endeavour to resolve their differences, put the party in order and stop pointing fingers.

Abi ooh. The hypocritical op is talking as if the problems of Tinubu are from the PDP.Last time I checked it was the northern elements in APC that wanted to reduce his influence in the party. Where does PDP come into this? Be learned!

MarieSucre:
So you're saying that if Nigerians had left Jonathan then there would have been no more deaths or he would have actively eradicated the menace that Boko Haram is? hmmmnn *strokes chin* Interesting.

was he not already doing it in his last days in office?

odiereke:
They should just let this man be for God sakes.

Yes! At least he is the one feeding hungry salary-less people of Osun state.

IdisuleOurOwn:
That is on the way, be patient bro.


FYI, Buhari never said Abacha didn't stole. He only said evidence should be provided.

.

So you can see that Nigeria has not changed at all even under a CHANGE government. We are not saying that FFK didn't steal. We only say that evidence should be provided. A government that can't prosecute corrupt officials is equally corrupt.

MKO4ever:
This is how assets declaration works:
--A form is issued to whoever wants to declare assets by the Code of Conduct Bureau
--The form is completed and returned to the bureau
--The Bureau then carries out asset verification/audit
--This is necessary to ascertain the Existence, Ownership Completeness and Accuracy of the assets as declared in the form
--The Bureau then certify the asset declaration form
--The verification is necessary because some Officers usually overstate their assets during asset declaration
--So that by the time they are leaving office, it wouldn't appear as if they acquired so much additional assets during their tenour
--This is the procedure and you know Baba does not like to violate procedures

Baba has said he will make his assets known to the public, therefore let us be patient and reasonable

His declaration to the CCB is a constitutional obligation which he has already fulfilled. Whether ratified or not is left to the CCB. But his declaration to the public is a moral duty which does need to wait for ratification from CCB. In any case if he were sincere and sure of what he declared then why wait for ratification before presenting it to the public.

Because they are now in government...

That is what I mean. Now that they are in government they should seize the opportunity of a some how weakened boko haram and finish them off instead of allowing them time to regroup.

The fight against insurgency before the general election was gathering steam with good results to show. Towns and villages were being recaptured and military authorities were briefing the nation on current developments on the war front. There was a general expectation of an impending victory. Meanwhile Buhari was also promising to prioritize security if elected. Nigeria took him for his word and elected him President. My worry now is that one month into this new regime has seemingly rendered our military less potent. While the insurgents have stepped up their attacks since then our military has being generally subdued in both the propaganda and in the war front. In fact our forces have not carried out any preemptive or reprisal attack on the insurgents since this government was sworn in. Why is the expected change taking so long to happen?

Osinbajo is certainly the most underrated VP Nigeria has had. It started with buhari calling him osunbade and then
followed up by locking him out of the security meeting on the excuse that he is too meek to be exposed to top national secrets.Saraki nailed him recently by calling him a mere commissioner.

babyosisi:
Abi o,then he will head down to Rhodesia
My dear Zaire still dey o,I think They kept changing names and got us confused Me sef dey confused But I am not a president

which of the Rhodesia's? North or South?

tucky200:
Still astonished as to how they heard him say 'sai buhari'



TANoids will cm nd start spewing trash here nw

but do you believe that other bombers have been using the phrase "Allah akbar"? what is so strange about survivors hearing what the bomber shouted out? After all only 5 people died from the blast. Can you use your blocked head now?

As the handover date to the new government draws ever closer I want to use this forum to call on all PDP/GEJ fans to express their wishes for the incoming government. Your wishes are classified into two: 1 Let the new government be very successful.Let there be positive change in Nigeria. let Nigerians have it so good that they would start regreting the PDP/GEJ rule. 2 Let the Buhari government be a complete flop. Let there be so much suffering in the country so that Nigerians would start wishing to have PDP/GEJ back. please make only one choice and APC/Buhari supporters are not allowed to comment.

Is these another way of promoting Vaseline

But why must it be vaseline method. why can't you shoot the lava directly into someone?

CyrusXandria:
Who made it a sin?

Your religion is not everybody's religion.

The bible is flawed,you'll be foolish to argue this.

Jesus could have been gay,you want prove I'll give you one.

You can't control sexuality but simply live it.

which religion approves of it then? The disturbing thing about them is their fight for public acceptance and recognition,that pride! No shame. Is this hideous practice no longer a sin? As I said earlier if other groups of sinners should also form pressure groups to fight their causes then the issue of offence /wrong doing and punishment will be completely wiped off the face of the earth.

Biblically homosexualism is condemned in the same breath as other sins as adultery,stealing,lying etc. While the rest of the others are still seen as sin in the present age, homosexualism is gradually carving a new and more acceptable image for itself especially in the western world. We now have gay associations and gay rights with legal support. My questions are:1 When did homosexualism transform from sin to norm?2 How did the transformation happen?3 Will other sinners such as adulterers,liars and thieves get the same treatment if they started forming associations and fighting for their own rights? (for example American Association of Adulterers ( AAA)?4 is homosexualism hereditary or an indulgence? 5 is it God or man that determine what is sin or not sin?

So if a someone who calls himself a muslim kills 200 people, we can all condem it because he want to islamtize the world but if a jew, christian, atheist drops an atomic bomb that kills a million people, its okay, because he jst wants to kill them he dosnt intend changing their religion
I now see the peoblem with the world
Muslims and Christians are going to end this world with their stupidity

No matter how you try to suppress it your bias is as clear as day light. For you to equate some one who kills based on religious conviction to another who does same from a criminal urge is despicable to say the least. You rightly asserted that we do not choose the religion we belong to.How then do you feel if someone decides that you do not deserve to live because of a religious choice that you may not have had a say in the first place? Remember we have criminals in society such as murderers,rapists,robbers,riggers of elections etc who cut religions.But we don't talk much of those because everyone stands an equal chance before them.But for these religious vampires NO!You are condemned by default.Worse still we can not fight them collectively because some section of the population will feel at least unconcerned and at most happy to see those who do not share their beliefs suffer.

podosci:
*sigh* i read yoyr post and weep for the future of this foolish country, does it matter who attacked who, human beings attacked and killed 200 fellow human beings.......why does it boil down to what religion the person that was attacked were and the religion the 200 people that died are.
We are all born into religion, Nobody wrote an exam in the womb to determine his or her religion, u are a christian because ur parents are christians, likewise muslims,..........Human beings do evil things and hide behind patriotism,,religion or ethnicity
Over 50million people died during world war2, over 500million people have died in wars over history and 90% of them are not about religion,
Google The Northern Ireland troubles where catholics and protestants killed and bombed each other under the disguise of religion
google Joshe kony of Uganda, this man and his rebels raped and killed thousands, all in the name of inplementing the 10 commandments and also implenmenting strick followership of the old testerment bibble. Joshep kony abducted 100 school girls from a missionary school and forced themm all to be his sex slaves, he said he was doing Gods work
Man would also be evil and find reasons to kill peopl,,,,,,,its only left for people to decide weather to face the evil or hide behind religion
May the God christians and muslims worship save all your souls

I am not disputing your Googled facts. My questions are actually for the dogmatic moslems who strongly feel that this insurgency is a Christian agenda. After watching Shekau explain his ISLAMIC BOKO HARAMIC mission they will still be more comfortable to believe that it is GEj, Ihejirika,Oritsejafor and co sponsoring the insurgency. Not even minding the fact that the whole Muslim world is on fire at this moment.Why are they always blaming others for their troubles. The fact remains that these barbarians carrying out wanton killings are Muslims even if you want to believe it is Gej,Obama,US,UK sponsoring them.Does it mean that they can not reason rationally? You may say "hand enough weapons to Muslims and they will wipe off the earth" No wonder the West has resisted their quest for nuclear weapons.

During the course of the ongoing attack on Christianity in Nigeria which is termed insurgency by the media some moslem commentators have constantly argued that the whole thing is a scheme by Christians to destroy the moslem north.And that Islam is a religion of peace. Others even go to the extent of saying that the Christians worship a fake or powerless god who can't protect them and that is why they are always being attacked. Having watched the video of the recent attack on the Kano mosque I couldn't help but ponder over the following questions: 1 was that attack also planned and executed by Christians? 2 after purging the north of all Christians,why have these attacks not stopped? 3 could it be that the attackers on the mosque were actually moslems?4 can moslems ever realize that there is something wrong with their faith and stop living under the pretence of religion of peace? 5 if a moslem can do this to a fellow believer what more can he do to an arne?

Go to Mubi and ask boko haram

if you had used your brain well you would have noticed that the question is not for boko to answer. I agree that some people (like you) are nuisance on social media.

It was in the news yesterday that Mubi in Adamawa state has fallen to Boko Haram and so has several other councils in north east Nigeria.But I used to wonder what happens to the elected government in such areas,the civil servants and most of all the monthly Federal allocation accruing to such councils? Help me out on these questions,1 Is the federal government still releasing funds to these councils? 2 Who receives the funds - government or boko haram?3 how does the federal government check how these funds are used since it has no access to the fallen councils?4 Could it be that the federal allocation is fuelling the insurgency?5 If the allocation was stopped does it mean the federal government has already ceded those areas to the insurgents?

Many Nigerians these days associate born againismn with the denomination one belongs to. If you belong to a Pentecostal church you are born again but if you belong to an orthodox Church you are not.So sad.There will be many surprises on judgment day.

striktlymi: Some people live to use someone's words against him.

Are you sure that you make sense?

Well, i am coming from a biblical perspective.Mark 4:22-23.For there is nothing hidden except to be made manifest:nor anything secret except to come to light.Luke 12:2.Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed or hidden that will not be known.In spite of these and many other verses that condemns keeping secrets I make bold to say that SECRETS is a commodity that everyone has. Individuals,families,organizations and even churches and so called powerful men of god do have and keep secrets.One thing about secrets is that it encourages other sinful acts such as lying and pretence
For anybody to be reconciled to God,the first step is to do away with all the secrets in ones life.

Biblical injunction about dressing generally come in two categories viz:1 Men should not wear clothes meant for women and vice versa Deut22;5 and 2 Women should dress decently avoiding jewelry and expensive clothes 1peter3;3-4,1timothy2:9. In each of the above verses there is no clear definition of what men and women clothes are.However,recently some religious puritans have been waging a war against women wearing the trouser claiming that such will take them to hell.One preacher even took it to the ridiculous extent of claiming that even if a woman wears a nicker and covers it with an outer dress which is decent such will still go to hell.My questions are 1 Is a woman wearing a trouser sinful because the trouser is a mans clothing or because the trouser is an indecent dress all together? 2 Where is the biblical evidence that the trouser either a mans wear or an indecent dress? 3 Why is there no evidence of men wearing trousers in biblical times (we only see robes and garments) 4Why is it that other unisex clothing such as pants and shirts get less criticism?(which sex is the right owner of pants and shirts that such puritans would recommend for holy women) 5 Between a trouser and a knee-long skirt, for example that women wear,which is more decent? 6 What is really the problem with the trouser?

Unlike the sun which has been proven to be useful in photosynthesis,provision of vitamin D,provision of solar energy,among many other users, the moon which is one of the most ubiquitous features around the earth has a very limited application and that is for illumination at night which does not even happen all the time. The only other use of the moon I can fathom is its significance in Islamic worship.(announcing the starting and ending of fasting) Are there any other uses of the moon apart from the above mentioned?

emmyskies: All thanks be unto GOD Almighty both now and forever more, Amen

1. You don't have to move from church to church to know the right church. It is simple: Go to church where holiness and righteousness is their standard and focus. Without holiness, no man will see the Lord -Heb 12:14). This two things are what every christian needs to focus on to make heaven.

2. One thing about "them say" is that majority are true and correct. Take heed, 97% of churches here in Nigeria are not on the right track. It will suprise you but it is the truth. On the other hand, even if a church is good and okay, people will still complain and accuse them of one or two things as they did JESUS CHRIST because the world hate light but love evil and darkness (3:19). So, based on "them say" criteria, join a church the world always accuse of being too holy and too conscious of sin, a church the world despise for having so many do's and don'ts

3. You don't need to jump from one church to another to know which is true. JESUS CHRIST have already told us that we can know true church by their fruit. It is very simple to identify them. But you can never know if you are not filled with the spirit. One of the duty of the spirit is to guide us to all truths.

4. It is a must for every christian to have the Holy spirit. Ha!! Must o. The goal of every christian is to make heaven on the last day. And it is impossible to make heaven on our own(Matthew 19:25). We need to work with JESUS CHRIST through the Holy spirit to be saved(Matthew 19:26). How can one claim to be a christian without having the Holy Spirit? What can he do without the Holy spirit? For without Christ, we can do nothing(John 15:5) As many that are led by the spirit, they are the sons of GOD(Romans 8:14). Mostly for this latter days we don enter, that deception is everywhere, that the devil knows he has but a very short time left, so is deceiving and leading multitudes to hell, every christians needs the Holy spirit for direction and discerning and to guide them to all truths

You stopped short of mentioning names.But from your criteria of the true church being widely regarded as too holy,being approximately 3% of the Christian population,and being highly despised,can I venture to say JEHOVAH WITNESSES? And one may be last question: Does this your one true church possess and share holy spirit among her members? (I thought the holy spirit is a gift from god and he gives it to whom ever he pleases.)

emmyskies: Op:
Majority of world's population are christians but almost all of them end up in hell with unbelievers. Churches have now become gateway to hell fire as christians have become dancers at the gate of hell. The devil has been in existent in this world before the creation of man. He has watched men grow. He has watch the christian race. he has studied the christian race and know the weak and strong points of christians. So he has polluted it, as such, leading multitudes that think they're on the right track to hell. But thank GOD for our King, thank GOD for whom He is. Thank King JESUS CHRIST for coming to our rescue, revealing truths to us, so we would escape the traps of the devil. The devil knows unbelievers are already on their way to hell. he doesn't bother about them. he knows christians are heading to heaven, so he's polluted christianity. JESUS CHRIST have strictly warned us about fake preachers.

1. If the founder of a church is evil, automatically, the whole congregation are heading to hell because if a blind lead another blind, they will both fall into a ditch -Matthew 15:14
One cannot be holier than the pastor because it is the pastor's teaching he is feeding on. So if he's getting the wrong food, na hell o because just one little wrong teaching spoils the whole good teachings(1st Cor 5:6, James 2:10)

2. Same answer to question 1. Churches matters o as much as our faith does. That is why JESUS CHRIST taught when He came because most teachings of the scribes hinders the people from entering heaven (Matthew 23:13). Teachings in church hinders people from making heaven. That is why in the Book of Revelation, before Christ gave John the revelations, He warned the seven churches in Asia.

3. There is no church whose members are automatically saved. Rather, there are churches which focus on pure holiness, preaching the undiluted word of GOD. If a member of such church goes ahead and commits sin, and dies without repenting, na hell be that.

4. To know such church is very simple as JESUS CHRIST already tells us how to identify them- by their fruits (Matthew 7:16, 20). But to do this, you need the Holy Spirit to be in you first. So you can discern which is good fruit. Because JESUS CHRIST already tells us the Holy Spirit will guide us to all truths (John 16:13)

In summary, the Bible should be our number one pastor and number one church. Humans can mislead us but the Bible can never mislead us. We will be judged by the Bible (John 12:48). So we should always place our Bible first above every other teaching and learn to compare our pastor's teachings with the Bible

thanks for your explanation. But that leads me to the other puzzles: 1 In the quest for the right church,does one have to move from one church to the other? 2 Can one write off a particular church based on hear say with out even attending it first and making sincere efforts to understand its spiritual position? (you can only do that at your own risk since there is a chance that the one you ignored may be the true church) 3 Given the thousands of churches we have around,what is the chance of one ever completing the experiment (to find the true church) in a lifetime?4 The holy spirit does not come to every body at the same time.Does one need to wait for it before going to any church at all?

Two years ago I happened to watch a video in which a certain woman of god from Sierra Leone called sister Finder claimed to have gone to heaven and back.Among the many other spiritual claims she made was that some pastors were leading their congregations to hell. She went to the extent of mentioning names of some men of god and churches that were hell bound.The sin of the congregation is that they knowingly or unknowingly attend the church which is pastored by those condemned men of god. Even on this forum I used to see some christians questioning the heavenly credentials of other christians as a result of the perceived unholy nature of their pastor.Questions:1 If the founder or head of a church is an evil man does it mean the whole congregation is also evil? (ie can one not be holier than his pastor?)2 Would god judge us according to which church we belong or by our faith? 3 are there churches whose members are automatically saved? 4 how can we identify those magic churches? May be the trick is in finding the right church or man of god to follow and not in seeking personal righteousness.
