~Bluetooth:
Leave because he pointed out that taxpayers' money were missing ? This is the problem with jonathan's bootlickers, you attack the messanger instead of addressing the issues at stake. Sanusi was bad in your own thinking but tell me he was wrong when after the press conference Iweala and Diezani admitted that money was indeed missing.

You want people that will help you cover your corrupt administration but if they don't, you start name-calling. Well Jonathan can as well appoint Dokubo as the next Cbn governor so he will keep mum to the unprecedent corruption in this regime !

PoliticsRe: Jonathan's Response Shallow, Disappointing - Northern Elders by karpentar: 3:50pm On Dec 24, 2013
meekhat: The whole scenerio reminds of a state in the North in those days who ascribe "BORN TO RULE" to herself. Let's pray for Nigeria
My brother is not just one Northern state. The whole core Hausa/Fulani North believe in the "born to tule" deception. Take time and read this below alarm raised by an ACN member:

The Cult of Born to Rule
THISDAY 15 Dec 2013
By Femi Fani-Kayode – Former Minister of Aviation.

In the last few days the following contributions from two eminent personalities have inflammed passions and been the topic of heated debate all over the country. The first came from Alhaji Lawal Kaita, a respected elderstatesman and a former Governor of the old Kaduna state on the platform of the defunct NPN. He was qouted as saying that “a Northerner must emerge President in 2015 or we will divide”.
The second came from Dr. Junaid Mohammed, a Second Republic legislator and a man that has held himself out as the unabashed spokesman of a small group of anti-southern and rabidly hardline conservative northerners over the last few years. He was qouted as saying that “there will be bloodshed if Jonathan runs in 2015”.
In as much as I have consistently and vigorously opposed the Jonathan presidency over the last two years there is only one thing that I abhor even more than the sheer ineptitude that I believe that the Jonathan administration represents and that is the sheer arrogance of a handful of those from the North whose opposition to Jonathan is not borne out of any desire for better governance but rather out of a deep desire for power to return to the North simply because they believe that that is where it ought to reside in perpetuity.
This school of thought can best be described as that of the ‘’cult of born to rule’’. Yet in fairness to the people of the north this deviant brand of thinking does not represent the views of the majority. They only represent the sentiments of a vocal and aggressive minority who have constituted themselves into a terrible virus and whose views have been openly rejected and condemned by the overwhelming majority of northerners themselves.
To suggest that the ‘’cult of born to rule’’ does not exist would be an exercise in perfidy and self-delusion. To accept that it exists and counsel that it ought to be ignored is an even more dishonourable and dangerous path to tread because it takes only one madman to set the family house on fire and burn it to the ground along with everyone in it. Whether we like it or not we must acknowledge the fact that the cult exists and we must accept the fact that we ignore their views and their nefarious activities at our own peril.
There is no doubt in my mind that Alhaji Lawal Kaita and Dr. Junaid Mohammed are leading members of that cult. They were both very vocal in their support of the annulment of Chief MKO Abiola’s June 12th 1993 election on the same grounds of ‘’northern rights and fulani supremacy’’ and they both wholly espouse the retrograde and odious philosophy that says that Nigeria was designed to be ruled only by the northerner. Their latest contribution to national issues are reflected in the two qoutations that I have cited above and frankly all I can say is that these two gentlemen have really got a nerve. The arrogance of their words remind me of an assertion by another well-known northern elder who, just a few weeks ago when I paid him a visit in his home, said, in my presecence and that of a number of others, that the ‘’northern christians are nothing’’ and that ‘’if push comes to shove and an election is fought their numbers count for far less than those of us
that are northern muslims’’.
Needless to say I, together with a number of others that were in that room, were utterly shocked by his submission. Clearly this man is still living in the past. For the record let it be clearly understood and let no-one be under any illusion about it- a rejection of or opposition to the Jonathan Presidency does NOT in any way mean that we will accept a return to the days of southern slaves and northern masters. It does not mean that we shall in any way, shape or form tolerate or accept the moribund philosophies and delinquent ethos of the ‘’cult of born to rule’’.
The sweet truth is that the days of the slave and the slavemaster, the horse and the horserider, the master and the grovelling servant and the ‘’poor husband of the north and rich wife of the south’’ (as Lord Lugard so aptly put it in 1914) are long over in Nigeria. They ended in 1999 with the ascension of President Olusegun Obasanjo to the throne and they shall NEVER return again. If Obasanjo did nothing else in the eyes of even his worst detractors he at least put a nail in that coffin.
He also managed to do the following- he kept Nigeria together despite the fact that at that time the country was on the brink of disintegration as a consequence of the deep alienation of the yoruba, the aftermath of the June 12th 1993 annulement and the terrible hand that General Abacha dealt the yoruba. He created a level playing field and ensured that ALL Nigerians, regardless of their religious faith or where they came from were treated as equals. He broke the hold and power of the north over the military and established the basis for a truly Nigerian Armed Forces as opposed to a northern one.
He ensured that a Niger Deltan became Vice President and later President of the Federal Republic. He ensured that an igbo man became a General Officer Commanding in the Nigerian Army (which was something that had not happened since 1966 after General Aguiyi-Ironsi was killed and since the civil war). He broke the power of the north over the oil sector, the public sector and the economy and he ensured that merit, rather than nepotism or ethnic bias, was the theme and life-blood of governance.
Under Obasanjo the north stopped being dependant on Federal Government appointments, contracts, largess and goodies and they stopped being indolent and parasitic. They were weaned off Federal government dependancy and their addiction to Federal Government patronage and they were forced to work hard and to be productive like everyone else.
This worked beautifully for the North itself and for Nigeria generally and it was under this strict regime of hard work, merit, productivity and discipline that a new generation of northern leaders, most of whom were young, confident, articulate, well-educated, well-informed, progressive, enlightened, liberal-minded and capable reformers, were spawned and introduced to public office in the country.
These were all pluses for Obasanjo but today, with the sort of sentiments being expressed by a few people in the north, it appears that some want to take us back to the dark old days of ‘’I must have an Alhaji on my board of directors before I can get anything’’. And God forbid that that should ever happen again. As the Americans would say ‘’we just ain’t going there’’.
The two comments that have been attributed to Kaita and Mohammed, both of whom are prominent and respected northerners with immense influence, are not only deeply offensive and provocative to every southerner worth his or her salt, the Yoruba included, but they are also most unhelpful.
They remind me of some of the sort of things that some of our Northern brothers were saying just after the annulement of the June 12th election in 1993 and throughout the period of the struggle against General Sani Abacha and the Northern-controlled Nigerian military as it then was.
Let no-one be in any doubt about one thing- the fastest way to unite the South and the Middle Belt and rally support for Goodluck Jonathan, no matter how bad he may be, is for Northerners to talk like Kaita and Mohammed have done here. They must stop it forthwith. Love him or hate him, Jonathan has the right to run and we have the right to either support him or not to support him.
The suggestion that there will be bloodshed if he runs simply because he is a southerner or that the country will divide if he happens to win fairly and squarely simply because, in the minds of some, a Northerner MUST rule at all costs in 2015 is completely unacceptable. It is also perfidious, intellectually dishonest, racist, shameful and utterly disgusting. Such sentiments will spark off a major conflict in this country if care is not taken and the issue will no longer be a Jonathan Presidency but rather a battle for southern rights.
If it ever comes to that some of us will have no choice but to stand with our people and damn the consequences. Hear me loud and clear- no matter what we will never allow this country to go back to the days of ‘’born to rule’’ and rather than allow that to happen we will simply scuttle Nigeria and divide her into two or more pieces before we all end up killing one another. A northerner can rule, not simply because he is a Northerner, but because he is the best man for the job and because the majority of Nigerians from both North and South want him as their President. Ditto a Southerner.
That is the only acceptable formula. They can take it or leave it. As long as I live the yoruba nation particularly will no longer be slaves to anyone again, whether it be northerner, igbo, ijaw or anything else. The days of compromise and sleeping with the enemy are long over. The South has had a raw deal in the last 53 years of our national existence when compared to the north and even a calamitous Jonathan Presidency does not derogate from that fact.
The last people to be issuing threats to Southerners, and I mean ANY Southerners including the Jonathan crowd, are the core Northern muslims who have held sway over the affairs of this country longer than anyone else in the last 53 years. If there is an alliance against Jonathan let it be based on the principle of equality of all peoples and the rights of all to equal opportunities including the right to rule Nigeria.
Any absurd notion about the so-called right of the north to dominate and perpetually rule and enslave others is rejected. That issue was settled long ago and not even a million Lawal Kaita’s or Junaid Mohammed’s can resurrect or restore such an intellectually barren and primitive philosophy.
Worst still if they try to do so no southerner worth his or her salt will align themselves with them. Fighting Jonathan is one thing but attempting to take on the whole of the south or denigrate her people is another. If the North is serious about taking power back in 2015 they need to do four things.
Firstly, they need to silence the voice of the ‘’cult of born to rule’’ and the fulani supremacists in their ranks who still believe that Nigeria is an extenstion of Usman Dan Fodio’s heritage and property. Secondly, they need to strongly condemn and disassociate themselves from the activities of Boko Haram and desist from asking for amnesty for such monsters. Thirdly, they need to stop all talk of a muslim/muslim ticket for 2015 as if the christians don’t exist.
And fourthly, they need to field a candidate that is either a liberal-minded Northern muslim who is well-known and acceptable to the South or a Northern christian that is trusted and acceptable to not only the South but also to the core muslim North. Anything short of these four steps will spell doom for the aspiration of the North to regain the presidency in 2015 and it will result in another victory for President Goodluck Jonathan.
A word is enough for the wise.

Yes, I saw when he said it. My point is that I might have marriage intentions but something made me change my mind, by his points, that's not fornication since there was initial marriage intention. His analogies are inconsistent and bogus.

Nahum777: what am saying is, who ever you sleep with is your wife. forget all these rantings. sex is marriage in the eyes of God. Changing your mind means, you never had a real intention to marry who you have defiled. That makes you a fornicator.
If you now say that who ever you sleep with is your wife, then, you're deviating from your original points, because I might have slept with her with no marriage intentions.
About changing mind, anything could make one change mind, including some strange behaviour from the girl you slept with. It doesn't for heaven's sake mean that there was no original marriage intentions.

Christianity EtcRe: Fornication:is It A 'necessary' Sin? by karpentar: 7:35pm On Dec 17, 2013
Nahum777: that is when it is fornication, like i said sex is marriage, once you sleep with anyone, she becomes your wife, when you change your mind, it means you are divorcing her, and as we all know. divorce is a sin.
But I had the intention of marriage when I slept with her. By your definitions, it can't be fornication.
Christianity EtcRe: Fornication:is It A 'necessary' Sin? by karpentar: 7:22pm On Dec 17, 2013
Nahum777: since you had no intention of marrying them, that makes you a fornicator, because you have defiled those girls for their husbands.
So if I had the intention, slept with her but changed my mind and didn't marry her, then it's not fornication?

Nahum777: common go and sit down, u put emotions on everything, how does that verse say premarital sex is a sin? tell me where the bible says premarital sex is a sin?. define fornication with the bible and not your own opinion.

exodus 22 vs 17 16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins..

fornication isn't premarital sex. fornication is when you dont marry who you sleep with.
So if you die without marrying who you slept with,
then, it's not fornication?
