But the same igbos are still praising him.

Mraphel:
Yaradua was one of the most criticised presidential candidate by Igbos in the history of Nigeria.

They called him
sickler
slowpoke
They wished him dead even when he was alive.

Niger delta and other militants sprung up in the SS and SE when he emerged the president. Yaradua was looked down upon only to out performed Jonathan.

Yaradua only became hero when Jonathan performed less to expectation unlike yaradua.

If its available till Saturday I will come with my mechanic.

Kayharry:
inspect let's deal

Are you a policeman?

HarunaWest:
It's high time Nigeria spent on its security forces. Even the 1 trillion is small..Naija has slot of criminals police inclusive but the NPF is so poorly equipped...Going to any of their station is an eyesore..Always a rickety pick up truck and disgruntled officers...It's high time Nigeria Invested massively on its security forces...if all the Abacha loot could be channeled to them under strict supervision of NSA and the CinC, it will be better for all...God bless Nigeria

Look this is not about Buhari. Nigeria never have good leader and we must agree with that.

But Buharry is a Mediocre Emeritus

I hope you use your brain next time before you quote me.

ENIGMATIC2023:
Always read with your brain before you comment to avoid sounding foolish

They should name those Gangs. Because these people I'm seeing on this pics are not yoruba. Their heads is f**t.

YarAdua is a bad leader and he has nothing to offer Nigerians. He spent 3years on the seat shouting 7 point Agenda without executing one point till his death.

What is Yar'Adua's legacy? He started initially on a bright note by declaring in his inaugural address that he is "A servant Leader." Despite being elected in a fraudulent ballot stuffing election on the platform of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, Nigerians wanted Mr. Yar'Adua to succeed and they gave him a chance to prove himself to them. But his sluggishness, distance and detachment from the public view as a President, coupled with the lack of a coherent message about his program earned him the nickname of "Baba Go Slow" after an old, used Lagos vehicle caught up in a traffic jam. He promised a transparent and open government that would be accountable to the public.


1. Asset Declaration: Mr. Yar'Adua became the first Nigerian Head of State to declare his assets. It was commendable and one or two State governors emulated his path by declaring their own assets as well. But Nigerians are skeptical of these politicians' bogus asset declarations because they have some unspecified foreign and local accounts opened in the names of their family members, associates and offshore corporations in which they wired looted, public money. In the case of Mr. Yar'Adua, contracts had gone to companies with links to his family's vast businesses during his three-year tenure as Nigerian president and seven years as Katsina State governor. In 2006, the Nigerian anti-graft agency The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission seized $13.5 million dollars on suspicion of money laundering by the wife of newly sworn President Goodluck Jonathan, then a Bayelsa State governor. There was no prosecution. While a United States Senate report has accused former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of laundering over $40 million dollars of suspicious funds into the United States between 2000 and 2008, the same Atiku Abubakar is one of those people jostling to be Nigeria's next president in 2011 and 2019.

2. Seven Point Agenda: The cornerstone of Mr. Yar'Adua's initiative to reform Nigeria and improve the well being of the people is centered around this program he called the Seven Point Agenda. No one in late President Yar'Adua's cabinet was able to explain in coherent terms what Seven Point Agenda stands for.

3. Electricity: Mr. Yar'Adua's promise to improve the country's paralyzed energy sector did not materialize. The power supply became further deteriorated during his tenure.

4. Corruption: His other top priority, tackling corruption, became only a vague idea that was neither pursued nor practiced because Mr. Yar'Adua was surrounded by moneybags politicians like former Delta State governor James Ibori who was accused of looting his State treasury. In order to prevent the arrest of people like Ibori, Nuhu Ribadu the head of the country's anti-graft agency, The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, was removed by Yar'Adua and forced into exile with his life in danger and a puppet called Fazida Waziri was appointed to head the organization.


5. Electoral reforms: Mr. Yar'Adua promise to reform the country's electoral system to prevent future ballot stuffing and poll rigging became stalled as a result of his debilitating health issues. Also it was unclear whether he could have fulfilled this pledge since he was a beneficiary of a fraudulent election.

6. Infrastructure: Nigeria's infrastructure lacks maintenance and became further deteriorated during Yar'Adua's tenure. According to a US Department of State report about Nigeria, of the 80,500 kilometers (50,000mi.) of roads, more than 15,000 kilometers (10,000mi.) are officially paved, but many remain in poor shape. These bad roads are often prone to accidents, bandits became kings of the highways, and people were being robbed in broad daylight on Nigerian roads.

7. Education: Mr. Yar'Adua was Nigeria's first elected Head of State and Commander in Chief with a University degree, but sadly Nigeria's education system became worse under his presidency. The Secondary School attendance was only 32% of males, 27% of females, while the literacy level is 40%. Nigerian State owned Universities, often plagued by academic strikes, are ill-funded and ill-equipped to meet the challenges of the twenty first century. Nigerian students only theorize without the practical knowledge and tools to put what they learned in College to good use.

8. Healthcare: Mr. Yar'Adua failed miserably in the health sector. As a President, he traveled abroad for medical treatment like other top politicians do. Nigeria's teaching hospitals are like ghost houses and countless people have died as a result of the country's poor health care system. Life expectancy is 47 years. At the launch of the 2009 State of the World Children Report in Abuja, UNICEF representative, Dr. Soumi Sakai said that one Nigerian woman dies every 10 minutes due to complications from pregnancy and childbirth, while over 500 newborns die daily.


9. Sectarian violence & Religious Unrest: Another area of neglect for Mr. Yar'Adua was his inability to curb religious unrest in the country. We have seen further bloodshed and killing of innocent people, the rise of Boko Haram, and other forms of extremism that were influenced by the importation of Wahhabi-Salafi group from Saudi Arabia into the country in mid 1980s.

10. Niger Delta's Amnesty: One area in which Mr. Yar'Adua is getting much credit was his ability to reduce the tensions in the oil rich Niger Delta through his offer of amnesty to MEND militants.

11. Economy: Nigeria's 2009 budget was $21.3 billion of which recurrent expenditures constitute $11.1 billion, capital expenditures $7 billion, statutory transfers $1.1 billion, and debt service $2billion. Nigeria's inflation in 2009 was 11.5%. The country's GDP growth rate was 4.4%, oil growth was 18%, and non-oil growth 3%. Currency: Naira ( 150 Naira= U.S. $1 as of March 23, 2010)

Mr. Yar'adua's impacts would also be felt in Nigeria's banking sector for better or worse. The Central Bank of Nigeria conducted financial audits of the 24 national banks and discovered 10 of the banks to be undercapitalized. The government replaced many of the failing banks management teams and pumped $6 billion into the sector. Similarly, the Central Bank published the names of prominent loan defaulters in national dailies.


On the other hand, the reforms became short-sighted because credit became largely inaccessible to small-scale businesses, rural communities, real estate sectors, and 65% of the economically active population. Amid accusations of a regionally-driven agenda leveled against Yar'Adua's government and the Central Bank Governor, they weakened the Southern dominance of Nigeria's economy.

Unemployment snowballed under Yar'Adua's presidency and the country's minimum wage was a pittance. This compounded the poverty level in the country and gave rise to prostitution rings and child labor, among other bad vices.

In a country where some families are barely surviving on less than two dollars in a day and others are even homeless, the Nigerian political class and retired military generals who looted the country's treasury are very insensitive to their plight. One of them was the head of President Goodluck Jonathan's Presidential Advisory Committee, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma, former Chief of Army Staff. He boasted about how he got a free oil block as a gift from tyrant leader Gen. Sanni Abacha, whom he supported twelve years ago. He recently sold the oil block for a total of $1 billion and made $500 milion as a personal profit from the sale.

Nigeria should be pitied, because a man who is highly insensitive to public anger and with no valuable or fresh ideas about modernity, governance and economics is the head of the Presidential Advisory Committee of President Goodluck Jonathan.


Lt. Gen. Danjuma got his present position so that he could provide the imprint of legitimacy by the military establishment, who did not initially approve of the emergence of Goodluck Jonathan as Nigeria's leader.

Nigeria's ruling party's (PDP) unwritten constitution talks about power rotation between the North and the South, but this debate about which region should produce the next president overshadows the critical fundamental questions Nigerians wanted to know such as: "Who is capable of leading the country?


12. Two Steps Backward for Nigerian Women: Mr. Yar'Adua did not use his Presidency to force Sharia States in Northern Nigeria to sign on to the Child Rights Act passed by the country's National Assembly in 2003. One should not forget that Mr. Yar'Adua himself introduced Sharia criminal code as Governor of Katsina State and a woman called Amina Lawal became the focus of international news when she was sentenced to death by stoning for committing adultery by Sharia court, in a decision that was later reversed. No wonder that Senate Minority Whip, Senator Ahmed Sanni Yerima, a former governor of Zamfara State who started the Sharia criminal code, boastfully stated that he is not bound by the

Child Rights Act's provisions because his home State of Zamfara did not domesticate the law and as such, he cannot be accused of violating its provisions. Senator Yerima divorced his 15 year old, fourth wife and married a 13 year old Egyptian girl at a ceremony in Abuja. He was reported to have paid the price of $100,000 for the bride.

13. Foreign Policy. Nigeria's celebrated peace-keeping roles, leadership of ECOWAS, and the country Giant of Africa status all took a back seat under Yar'Adua's presidency.

In a final appraisal of the late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua's legacy, his regime cast doubt on the ability of Nigerian women to be professionals and compete with men as equals. The President reinforced the stereotype of women as trophy wives when he gave two of his daughters, Zainab and Nafisat, away through arranged marriages as third or fourth wives to the wealthy governors of Kebbi and Bauchi States.


Meanwhile, Mrs. Yar'Adua's scheme to retain power by falsifying information about her dying husband gives Nigerian's a negative view of the office of First Lady, as only for greedy, obnoxious, self serving, and arrogant spouses.

The late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua will be remembered as a good-hearted man, a reluctant candidate who was promised Nigeria's presidency on a platter of gold just like the Second Republic President of Nigeria Alhaji Shehu Shagari who ruled from 1979 to 1983. Both Yar'Adua and Shagari were mediocre, obscure, and insecure politicians of their days with no aspirations for higher office of the land. But one man who is regarded as a key player in Nigerian affairs is Olusegun Obasanjo, who ruled the country as both military and civilian Head of State. He set them up to run for office so that he could become a proxy ruler behind the scene. The consequences of both actions are the dirge songs of a Nigerian nation that could be in peril.

In the Quran: Sura XCIX, 7- Allah said that he will be the one to reward the good doers and to punish the evil doers.

"He who does an atom's weight of good will see it, and he who does an atom's weight of evil will see it. May God repose the soul of Alhaji Shehu Musa Yar'Adua.

Campaign strategy. Continue fooling yourself.

I'm so sad that I couldn't comment before this topic reach here. But thank you bro for your revelation.
I was thinking if all the commentators gonna be same in views.
Nigerian youths are lazy and we are real problem of this country we don't read and sadly we can't reason beyond our nose.

BLS1:
Look at all the lazy youths above me.....even with the advent of google they cannot verify just a simple few things.

So Yaradua was the first and only president to reduce petrol price?

He introduced Batches into our NYSC system?

No ASUU strikes, students finished in record time?

No herdsmen killings under him? No militancy?

Boko was not around in his tenure?

Keep on lazy youths, keep on .

Ah omg . This will cause another problem Especially gridlock.

God will punish you yao. So Africa is not connect Because There's no coronavirus case in Africa

When Africa was battling for Ebola then how many cases was recorded in both Europe,Latin America and middle east.

Keep gloating. . It's a destiny nobody can change it.

the kind of fear that gripped this guy when he read the news that pdp would give their presidential ticket to south. He understand the fact that APC will beat anyone they give in the south.

But what you don't understand whether pdp give the ticket to south or north Apc will still carry the day.

Herdsmen:
Secondus remain chairman.
PDP is fielding a Northerner..with S.E/ SS

..is too early to panic over a PDP northern candidate.

Nation go just get one babajide for tvc run am questions and answer

Then post am for daily. Fiam! It becomes news.

All The Nation news , interviews, editorial notes ...

Propaganda at best... once dishes .. zombies will serve with feverent arse sniffing frenzy

Disregard The Nation when it comes to PDP .. and opposition.

He is now a pastor.

Well thanks I just admire your maturity. Happy sale.

greggng:
500k is a big money but not for this type....those issues I raised a mere issues....the only expensive thing amongst them is a radiator which is also not too expensive. There is no way you can buy a Nigerian used car without fixing something ....even tokunbo....The last price remains 950k not negotiable

I wonder why the owner can't fixed the fault before selling. Well I have 500k?

750k

Southeast have been champion the campaign for restructuring Nigeria to Regional system of government. But I keep asking myself if southeast would survive the regional system of government in this present generation.
My reason for saying this could trace back to 1950 to 1960 where the same pattern was operated then. During regional system of government in the southeast ,we have enough evidence that the system wasn't work for them.

When Nnamdi Azikiwe knew that the system wasn't work for them he came to southwest but instead of Azikiwe to learn how Awolowo operating the system that working for his region. Azikiwe sermons Awolowo political enemies to frustrate Awolowo leadership.

Another reason why igbo should stop talking about restructuring . Southeast have no resources to finance regional government.

Also the southeast contributions to federal government is very low compare to what south-south and southwest contributing.

Again many igbo will still not willing to return back to their home state.

Another reason during the regional system of government southeast didn't achieve anything but other regions are flourishing. That is why Aguiyi ironsi introduced unitary system of government. Every government pursues economic development by trying to achieve macroeconomic objectives in a particular system of government.

We are waiting.

mrvitalis:
Of u have ever been to the north u would know that Even nnamdi kalu would give him tough time in the north ...said it here PDP lost the election the moment they gave atiku the ticket ....it was theirs to lose and they lost it

But your brother from other state said it's a lying. And you guys are cool with your government.

fulaniHERDSman:
Not only uche Oga, most acclaimed APC chieftains in Abia are on his payroll.
Even apga people too are getting paid.
What U have in Abia is political elders sharing the state funds. Party is secondary identity.

Liar who is orji kalu before 1999. Southwest don't need southeast votes. 1993 ibos voted against Abiola yet he won with landslide. And for your information stop speaking for the people of south south. They warned you several occasions you dont heed to the warning shame. Edo people will never vote against Yoruba. Even itsekiri and urohbo will never do the same.
Ikwerre people trace their ORIGIN to oduduwa do you think they will abandon their own?

SciLab:
Orji Kalu as BOT of PDP sponsored OBJ campaign.

BTW. What's the difference between 1999 and 2023? Have you ewedurudeens not sustained your anti-Ibo campaign since then?

Oga leave talk, North will not leave their and for you, SE/SS will not vote for hypocrites and betrayals.

Increase the decibel of your 'we will never vote Ibo' noise.

what made Atiku not to get up to 30% in the north what guarantee igbo man that he will get 2%... And for your information a northerner would trust an ijaw man over igbo .... they know your intention and they will not forget what your forefathers did to them then... 2023 is for a Yoruba people everybody know that except those who are politically naive like you.

mrvitalis:
Who would fund Igbo presidential campaign ?

Are you seriously asking Igbo's how to get funds ? .....even the worst hater of Igbo's knows money is the least of our problem

Atiku didnt win because he failed to do his part in the north ...if he had even gotten 30% of north west he would have won

You are making 1999 compare 2023. And for the question you asked. Theophilus Danjumon, IBB Dangote and Joseph lar, founded obj campaign.

SciLab:
Who funded Obj presidency in 1999?

Stop dreaming. This is not how to win presidential election in Nigeria. You should have learn a great lesson from your Almighty Atiku. Please let me ask you a question who will found igbo campaign presidency?

mrvitalis:
Shut its ...presidency is our turn and our right ...if Igbo's are not getting it the north should keep it
Restructuring is our main demand yes why not ask Igbo's to forfeit our allocation because there is no restructured Nigeria

This your stupid trick would never work all Igbo's need to be president is
30% to 40% of north west ( with a north west vice its easy ) 40% to 50% of north east ...Christians their and PDP loyalist with big campaign we can do it

40% to 60% of north central ...with north central begging Igbo's for forgiveness this would be the time to collect our debt ...the Christian and PDP body its easy to achieve

20% to 40% of south west ...no matter what their are south wests people who are for equity and justice , PDP loyalist , and the large Igbo population in Lagos n Ogun we can get this

70% to 80% of south south ..this shouldn't be so difficult with PDP controlling bayelsa and maybe Edo by then it would be easy

95% of south east ...no story here

Presenting the Eboyi state governor or soludo as PDP candidate can guarantee this

My first choice is peter obi or morgalu but I feel one won't be roundly accepted and the other lacks the political know how

Useless blogger reporting nonsense.

You are politically naive. Who is Yerima in the corridor of political power in Nigeria? And mind you yoruba people can't be coward or be threatened.
Nobody we vote igbo Because we can't sell our birthright for porridge. Yoruba will be president come 2023.

SciLab:
Even inside you, you know say I dey I talk true. It is either you support Eastern presidency or you get the Northerns.

Yerima has contested before and campaigned in the East. His billboards in Owerri read 'Yerima ka anyi choro' in 2003-2007.

Shouting 'I will never vote Ibo' since the end of the civil war is about to bite you in the yansh.

You no kuku get choice.

Shina Rambo is a former bandit who terrorised South-West Nigeria in the 1990s. After serving jail-time for his crimes, he was converted by an evangelist and became a Christian evangelical pastor. Shina Rambo now Mathew Oluwanifemi was a name that sent shivers down the spine of people who lived in the South West of Nigeria and even outside Nigeria, like Benin Republic and neighborhood, in the 1990s.



He was a hardened criminal, a terror and killer, one whom men of the security agencies will never forget in a haste.

A man mountain, towering about 6 ft 5inch, well built, dark skinned and sweltering eyes, he carried out his operations, like a movie, in the broad day light, with sophisticated weapons, and bullet belts and explosives strapped roundabout him. He specialized in robbing exotic cars on highways and robbing banks. Nothing could stop him, not even security operatives, he was totally invincible. He was Shina Rambo!

He was born in the year 1958 to a military man who was a bad egg in the service. His father was from Abeokuta in Ogun state, but his mother was a native of Sabongida–Ora in Edo state. His father had over 18 wives, as was the norm for soldiers to impregnate virtually every woman they met where they were posted to. His father used his military influence to rob innocent citizens, and always brought huge amount of money home. This used to entice little Shina. He recalls, “I remembered when I was about 7 years old, my father came home with a lot of money, foreign currencies, with blood on it, and they were using something like a woman’s scarf to wipe it, then I asked him, is this an animal’s blood, or human blood? But he wouldn’t answer me, they were just drinking, smoking, and merry making.

”Shina was already indoctrinated into the underworld by his father at a tender age of 7 without him knowing it, as he would sit in front of his son, to dismantle and assemble all sorts of weapons and then polishing them in preparation for an operation. This went on for so long till one day, little Shina, entered into his father’s room while he had stepped into the toilet, and saw a dismembered gun on the floor. He sat down in front of it, and bit by bit, he had assembled it effortlessly in no time at all. His father came out of the toilet, and saw his son, with a loaded gun in his hands. Shina flashed back and said, “That day my father was so disappointed, that he wanted to kill me, he grabbed the gun from my hand and shot straight at me, but I miraculously escaped out of the room. Then he waited for me to be less alert at night he came to my room with a machete and tried to behead me, but once again, I escaped, but the machete caught my left leg (he rolled up his trouser to show us the large scar, that made everyone sighed in pity). It cut me so deep I thought I was never going to walk again.

That day I knew I had graduated, all that was left was to pull the trigger, and I was so eager. Shina Rambo became so notorious in no time, and was hell
bent on succeeding in his career as an armed robber, that he went through any length to secure spiritual powers for fortification.

To the extent of pounding over 27 live new born babies in the mortar with a pestle, cutting off about 100 human tongues and cooking them to eat, visiting the spiritual river called river of life in Ogoja, Cross Rivers State, living in an Iroko tree for days, and sleeping in the cemetery.

He was given a spiritual wife who always followed him for any operation, she dressed like an Alhaja, people thought she was human, but she was a spirit, that was why they never saw her face. He said she was his personal driver, that she could drive from Nigeria to Cotonou, in the speed of light.

Hear him. ”I was involved in so many rituals, that I can’t start naming them now, I was so powerful, I went underground, inside trees that looked like a city, a lot of beautiful houses inside the tree, I had my own too. I went into a river called River of life in Ogoja, where a lot of politicians and wealthy men used to come. I had several personalities, I could change my form whenever I wanted to, that’s why the police were busy killing innocent people, and thought they were killing Shina Rambo.

The 9 herbalists that gave me that power, I became stronger than them, one day I went to their shrines, and killed all of them, so that they don’t reveal my secrets. I had too many powers; my spiritual wife could drive any car in this world or out of it, no police vehicle, or anyone for that matter, could ever chase and catch me during an operation. She was out of this world, and when she had completed her operation, they took her away from me. I could give anything to get powers, and the elders knew, so they also gave me anything I wanted. I once beheaded hundred men, and gave them the heads fresh, they were so happy with me that they made me invincible.


http:///omoba
No matter the kind of bullet you shot at me, it was just like pure water on my body. I could give anything to get power, but of all the things I did to get power,
the one that still breaks my heart the most, is sleeping with my mother. My father is dead now, but my mother is still alive, and she lives with me she is 85 years old. Whenever I set my eyes on her, I just start crying. I can’t bear it.

Shina Rambo was a raging terror, he was infallibly dangerous, the police dreaded him, both in Nigeria, and Benin Republic, his place of interest for business. He would go to police stations, in broad daylight and kill every policeman there, drive to check points and open fire on every policeman on duty, he didn’t like the police at all, and was never afraid of them, he operated in broad day light armed to the teeth looking like Johny Rambo, in the popular Sylvester Stalone movie, “First Blood”.

He once robbed 40 exotic cars in one day and drove all of them in a convoy, from Lagos to Cotonou, unstopped. He was powerful; he was wealthy, and impenetrable. He was a tin god, apparently belched from the very arroyo hell, we all dreaded him. He had a wife and three children, but he lost all of them in one day during a bloody police raid whilst he was away on operation. His wife was his stabilizing factor his life changed afterwards. He says “my wife was everything to me, I was forbidden by the elders to sleep with any other woman apart from her. I could gather about 50 women around me in a hotel, and they will just be playing with me. We would smoke, drink, and sniff cocaine, I will give them money but I will never sleep with them. I will go back home to my wife and sleep with her. That was why the police never caught me. She knew my job, she knew what I was and I never left them alone at night, I operated in the day time and go back home to my family at night.

I had everything, I was very wealthy, I sometimes spent 50 million naira in a day, I did that a lot. There was one day that we were coming from an operation and it seemed as if my powers were going to fail me, the police and the army were almost closing in on us, so we had to drive into a crowd and threw millions of naira in the air, there was commotion, everybody was busy picking naira notes even the police, until we escaped.

I was too rich, but anything the devil gives you never lasts, he will collect more from you, it’s only the devil that will give you Fila, (cap) and ask for Iro and Buba (wrapper and top). I lost everything, all the money, my family; I was so powerful the police couldn’t catch me but I lost it all. I had to surrender myself to the police and I was arrested and jailed for 11 years.

While I was serving my jail term in Agodi prisons, Ibadan, Prophet T.O Obadare came visiting, and having been encouraged several times by the Christian brothers and sisters in the prison to give my life to Christ, he prayed for me and converted me, and changed my name to Oluwanifemi, and it was so miraculous, the next day I woke up and started speaking in tongues. It was during the time of President Olusegun Obasanjo, that we were granted freedom.

At this point, I was glued to my seat, the revival where Shina Rambo gave this exclusive confession was on an open ground revival in the ancient city of Ibadan. Right in front of me, on stage, was Evangelist Mathew Oluwanifemi, the once feared Shina Rambo, clad in a loose fitting shirt, black pants and a pair of leather sandals with a black Holy Bible in his hands, gigantic dark skinned and bald headed, still had those fiery looks, and stealth movement.

I was more transfixed than focused, God is indeed awesome, he picked the offering basket raised it to the congregation prayed and asked who had anything
to give to God, at first I was reluctant, my mind was occupied and out of an innate compulsion, sheer curiosity I stood up, dipped my hand in my pocket walked towards him briskly and calculatedly brought out my offering, dropped it into the basket, and looked deep into his eyes, I had too many things to ask him, there were too many questions unanswered. He looked back at me, and spoke in Yoruba, saying “God bless you my brother; we know your type when we see them”. The congregation broke into a mild giggle, as all eyes were on me as I went back to my seat, with a lot of things on my mind, and the red light on my midget still blinking, in the breast pocket of my jacket.

God is indeed wonderful. He has sent many people to their early grave without repentant of their sins. They will go to hell and him having given his life to Christ will go to heaven when he die. How do will judge that?

Sense is what Ago Abdullahi lack.
