I have one and I've had it for almost 2 years. However, I dont sell my things

Hope no one gets offended but I have to express my observations here.

It appears that MFM does not believe in reaping what you sow. My reason for this assertion is that everything is put at the devil's feet or they will identify that the enemy is the one responsible. I know that the bible says that you reap what you sow...why does MFM not tell people that what goes wrong is a result of somne wrong decision they made somewhere. The bible does not say that everything that goes seemingly wrong is caused by the enemy. I think the church should start teaching the worshippers the right things by asking them to act in the proper way in order to get the right results. For example, rather than claim that it is the enemy who is responsible for a child's academic failure, they should be telling the child to study and concentrate.

My next observation is as it relates to families. Without trying to state that I know exactly what is taught is the church, it seems that the women who attend the church cannot have stable families with non-members. I know a family (now seperated) in London where the husband claims that the wife seems to believe that he is an ungodly man, despite being a christian too. He attends a baptist church. The man has constantly complained about a lack of regard for him in the home because she does not believe the man knows anything being a non MFM man who doesn't pray very loud for several hours. They have only just seperated and she was happy enough about it. Another family in Lagos in which the woman started attending MFM and the man claimed that his wife started treating him like a nonnetity in his home. He claimed that was what drove him to seek comfort in the arms of another lady and he has told his wife to move out.

I will not talk about the third one which has just come to mind but it appears to be arecurring theme whenever a woman joins MFM, just my own observation. Do you guys have an experience/opinion on this or is it just the people I seem to know?

Too many of us are cowards who bully the weak and defenceless. The soldiers are just the same. People loot the treasury in order to "oppress" the poor; policemen and soldiers use their uniforms to oppress ordinary citizens whom they are meant to protect.

Is there not something inherently wrong with us as a nation? That's what we need to address rather than chasing the symptoms

I have a feeling that many people write lies here to make themselves look good. There may be many here whose lives are terribly miserable and they come here to lie about their lives.

Oh yes, your life is now perfect, crap!

Make Sango, ogun, osanobua, sopona and amadioha combine take destroy Badamosi's and his unborn generations, including his existing children and children's children.

The bastard's actions has blighted several millions of lives and he goes around with no remorse. May all his children and family never know real peace.

May destruction and devastation be the lot of babamosi for eternity.

With impunity and devastating greed, he scuppered the hopes of a whole generation of Nigerians.

That's proportionally very low compared to western statistics.

That's what exposure to western culture does. We are taking the good and bad of the culture.

Actress Joanna Lumley has claimed that British children are being brought up with "slack" morals.

The 64-year-old Absolutely Fabulous star said the younger generation needed to be given "hearty pursuits" like building camps or working on farms.

She also bemoaned a lack of respect for education in Britain and said children should be given more responsibilities.

Lumley made the comments in an interview with the Radio Times.

"We are very slack with our moral codes for children these days. Nowadays, children find it laughably amusing to shoplift and steal.

"We smile when they download information from the internet and lazily present it as their own work. We allow them to bunk off school and bring in sick notes," she said.

She also said: "There was one 'crime' during the whole time I was at school, when a fountain pen went missing. Stealing just didn't happen.

"I was taught not to shoplift, not to steal, not to behave badly. We weren't even allowed to drop litter."

She also recalled "quite small children take on huge responsibilities" while making programmes around the world.

She added: "In Ethiopia, you might find a seven-year-old expected to take 15 goats out into the fields for the whole day with only a chapati to eat and his whistle.

"Why are we so afraid to give our children responsibilities like this?

"I think laptops should be banned from schools. Until you can prove you can add up on your fingers or think independently in your head, you have learnt nothing," she added.

Farm work

The actress, who is narrating Enid Blyton tale The Cheat on Radio 4, said: "I think we're leading our children into a false paradise. We're not teaching them how to apply themselves and be present, how to accomplish a job and finish it, how to learn other languages and actually achieve a trade.

"What are we doing with our education policies? Running from one side to the other, with no notion of where we are going."

The actress, who famously took on Gordon Brown's government to allow all Gurkhas the right to settle in the UK, added: "We have taken our foot off the education pedal, and I don't think it makes anyone happy. We don't respect education. Not at all. Not like in Africa or China, where it is hugely respected.

"I would like to see children involved in hearty-sounding pursuits, such as building a camp. Or getting an entire school to go and work in a farm, for a term, all together."

databoy, there are lots of Nigerians in Aberdeen, mainly in the oil companies and in the universities. You wont have problems integrating there. Just beware of the parts which are full of scum and jobless junkies. They attack foreigners for no reason, just for fun, especially when they are drunk or high on drugs.

There is a huge drug problem in Aberdeen, as in most parts of scotland.

This is the problem with UK

I still await an explanation from both PASTOR Bakare and GENERAL ALHAJI Buhari.

The level of ignorance being displayed by their supporters here is baffling. I have not stated my religious inclination here but you all seem to be inclined to believe whatever you feel you can insinuate. It has nothing to do with my religious belief and all to do with the integrity of the men whom you are canvassing for. Rather than justify their action, you set out to attck me. That is nothing but a sign of defeat.

9ijaMan:
What is the difference between people like you and the Boko Harams of this world? Thank God we have very few of your likes in Nigeria, else we will probably would have been contesting to win the price of the first 10th world country.
Even the ridiculously vociferous Beaf whose past time is to stand logic on it's head is not as bigoted as you are. If you really want to vent your frustration why not go and vent it on the god you worship, 'cos most Christians will definitely not associate with you.

There is no point is wasting my time with people who are not intelligent enough to see reason quickly. Now read after me:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, that's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow.

Pataki:
I am not going to justify Bakare for you. But how I wish you had a voice back when Bakare was also ''unequally'' yoked with Wole Soyinka towards when SNG marched to Abuja to protest that ''Enough is enough''.

Others may have kept quiet. Bakare could have as well done the same about Nigeria. But here is a man who has been very vocal in times past, arrested several times by the SSS, had his passport seized by the SSS all because he spoke out against the government on several occasions. How many of our so-called religious leaders are able to do such? Rather what we have is, these same set of corrupt leaders dancing their way to the church to be giving thanksgiving and have adulations and prayers showered on them by the very religious leaders Nigerians reverence.

Again, you make mention of God using a pagan to save his own people. Perhaps you are not a student of the bible. Do you know of the love-peddler in the old testament that saved the children of Israel? Much as I dislike the word pagan, I know God can use anyone or anything to make a change within his own people. Afterall, Moses was a murderer in Egypt, but he returned to the same Egypt to demand of Pharaoh that he should let his people go.

We do not well, if we continue to sit on the fence and blow up religious sentiments with prayer, and yet our nation continues to wallow in the cesspit of corruption, lawlessness and its citizen in penury.

Rise up and lets make this CHANGE together!

Buhari/Bakare 2011.

Understood.

I would still want Pastor Bakare to justify his position in the light of the bible's stance on unequal yoke.

TBH, he is a man I have admired ever since I met him in the early 90's and I have nothing but respect for him. However, my point still remains that this stance is against what he protends to believe and preach every sunday. I'd just love to hear/read him explain it away somehow.

Genbuhari3:
just good,

you can't vote and you are laughing. bloody lazy fellow that cannot match his rantings with actions

I have won 54 votes for Buhari, and you dont even have a thumb to vote!

men, i can't waste my time on you

I dont live in Nigeria and I don't intend going to Nigeria just to vote. Does that amount to laziness in your books? Incredible is the best word to describe some of the followers of this strange presidential ticket.

I will be suprised if this ticket got any significant percentage of votes during the elections.

Jarus:
No problems. We will meet at the polls.

Unfortunately I cant vote However, I am certain that there are enough Nigerians old enough to remember some of Buhari's past pronouncements and there are Nigerians who are intelligent enough to see that Pastor Bakare is not living up to what he professes, says enough about his integrity.

Genbuhari3:
I can see you are a bloody pagan and you dont even bother to read the bible

please look for king cyrus that liberated the people of israel in your bible. he was a bloody pagan like you

I can see another BEAF, JOHNDOE200, Nsiman in you.

And who are you to determine how a man choses to run is life? when he left law for pastoring, did you tell him not to?

You are obviously another one of the pseudo-intellectuals around here whose stock in trade is insulting whoever does not agree with you.

Bakare needs to state that he does not believe in the part of the bible which talks about unequal yoke, then we can move forward.

Buhari needs to be reminded about his statement re: Northerners should break away from Nigeria. And his various Islamic statements from the past. I still remember them cos I was old enough when these things were being said.

If I could vote, I'd never vote for this combination. It smells of rotteness. A PASTOR who is unequally yoke with a non-christian and a known tribalist coming together to do what

Their combination works against everything that they have both professed in the recent past and therefore smirks of misdemeanour. I'd rather vote for unknown quantities than a couple of unprincipled people who jettison what they have preached and professed just so they can get into power.

mchewwww

Pataki:
Just like Bob Marley sang. . . . . . ''Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.''

Perhaps maybe your landlord is not from another tribe?

Perhaps maybe your boss at work is not from another religion?

Perhaps maybe the woman you buy your foodstuffs from is not from another religion as you or another tribe.

So quick to throw up 'mental slavery' sentiments. SMH!

Pataki, please open your eyes or your mind. I know you are a man of sound intellect.

Bakare either has to say that he does not believe in that part of the bible or he should try and explain it away. It could be mental slavery but it is mental slavery that Pastor Bakare subscribes to.

BTW this is the first time I am commenting on his political move. I have kept quiet about it for a while because I was being careful not to say too much. I know a few people as well who have raised their eyebrows but have kept quiet about it.

Demdem:
^^^^ I cant believe i'v just read this. Ignoramus

You are the ignorant one here my friend. If you can't see or reason, you need to openly come out to state so in order to be helped to see clearly.

Genbuhari3:
i didn't know we still have people stuck in this JUSTGOOD prison when hundreds are being set free!

You are the one imprisoned by your masters who would have you campaign for them on every forum. Some people get imprisoned and they think that they are enjoying freedom.  

Bakare is a Pastor who claims to be chosen by God to teach and lead people out of captivity. The bible is very clear about uneven yokes and if Bakare says he believes in the bible, he needs to explain that away first. If he does not claim to be a bible believing pastor, I wont have any problem with his position. Perhaps he can show me where God decided to use pagans as liberators of His people.

Binge drinking is British culture these days

Advocator:
OP I blame you. A marriage can only be broken up by two people. He may be blamed for the cheating (actually punished) but you should have confronted him as a real lady. You should have told him straight up that you needed your divorce paper. You are a good woman and staying with a depraved cheater, signals to him that he’s winning the game.

Leave his a.s.s, obviously life is a b.i.t.c.h but hopefully once you step out you will feel accomplished. Screw the counseling layout and all that ish. I’m telling you right now; ask for your divorce papers.

Horrible counsel from the pits of hell.

Bin this counsel please

I am disappoined in Pastor Tunde Bakare.

Does the bible not say we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers?, especially a confirmed tribalist like Buhari.

How and why did Pastor Bakare get entangled with this man?

Glasgow is actually referred to as the friendly city because the people will show you extreme friendliness irrespective of what you look like; it does not mean that they love you but they will show friendliness to your face.

Scotland is not a bad place and it is much quieter and less crime-ridden than many parts of southern england. Which conference are you going to attend and which city is it?

You are thinking of cleaning the man out?

Na wa o

I still can't get my head round how this forced marriage claim wasn't dismissed instantly in court. I suppose since most people here can't tell one African from the other, any sensationalist claim made is given credibility.

Exactly.

They are always willing and ready to accept any sensationalist, backward-sounding story with regard to Africa. It suits what they have been brought up to believe about us.

BTW, have the lawyers not seen this?

abeg, make we hear word jor

You guys need to wise up. There is absolutely nothing to say the boy is gay. Stop inferring that simply on the basis of a gay organization trying to get him back.

methinks Gemma is refusing to see reason

This boy is obviously another of the "very many" Nigerian-born miscreants in London who get into the wrong things in order to prove that they are now abroad. Many of them join up with wild Jamaicans etc. It is a well known phenomenon within the Nigerian communities in the London area. He played the system to try and stay in the UK because of a fear the unknown in Nigeria. He is back in Nigeria and he is having fun again, having met other kids his age. His mother, however, has paid a huge price for him to live a decent life.

I read somewhere that he twitters everyday about what he does in Nigeria now.

The British system is pathetic in respect of parenting and the laws surrounding it.

Typical British brainwashed boy.

There are too many of these kind of things happening in the UK now. We also found that it is mostly in families where they have only one child and the child starts getting indoctrinated in school. Counselors and child care workers are trained to deliberately instigate children in the name of investigations.

Children, especially the ones they think are different, get asked about their families and how their parents act towards them at home. They then start being told that they have rights to refuse instructions etc. You will be lucky the day you touch the child and if you dont, the child will turn to a spoilt brat. It's a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea; you are either going to send your child away to Nigeria early enough with the attendant worries about where he may be or you lose control over him.

I've seen it happen several times. I think the parents should appeal the decision and they will win with a proper solicitor. However, if that boy gets returned to the UK without his head being cleared properly by some Nigerian teaching, he will never be their lovely son again. It's difficult enough as it is now.

I wish the family all the best. To think that any boy will be advised to lie against his parents in such a manner is scary and tells you how monstrous the British system is.

There is something wrong somewhere. Most probably the problem stemmed from both sides and it has just escalated into what is is now.

Some intelligence here.
