Buhari should do the needful.[/color]
I remember transcorp scam & how he sold government ppties to himsef & cronies which he called monetization policy.

Obj atrocities are countless, we could spend all day here enumerating them. There's no limit to his greed.

Arondizuogu:
Thank you sir for this. This so true, and this was my life which I am trying(TRYING) so hard to break from. While I might never dream dreams or have visions but I know I broke from God. And these different doctrines are not helping me. I am an Episcopalian, but sometimes go to Catholic..
Thanks again.

You're welcome my brother. We all struggle, but don't you ever give up. ALWAYS run back to God.

Factfinder1:

Factfinder1:
I've learnt soo much from this thread and I'm thankful to everyone that has contributed in one way or the other....I used to dream dreams and see clear visions when I was younger but as I grew to know the world and the pleasures in it I lost that gift and I pray everyday to God to restore that gift my weakness is sex I have a lot of girls swimming around me even without asking them out some even go as far as spending on me please I want to return yo God and I need my gifts of dreams and visions to be restored please I need advice and prayers thanks

It's truly a fascinating thread. You just have to fall in love with God again and reignite your relationship with Him. What I've come to realize is that so much of our indulgence in sin is a misguided attempt to fill the void left by the absence of God in our lives. We desperately try to fill the emptiness with sex, drugs, alcohol, and all the pleasures of this world, but it's never quite enough. Life still doesn't make any sense and we become prisoners of our indulgence in pursuit of an elusive satisfaction.
There's no greater joy, no purer meaning to life than for a man to be at peace in the presence of his Creator! None of the counterfeit pleasures of this life could ever replace the peace that passeth all understanding and the lasting joy of His salvation. So, I invite you to renew your walk with Jesus, spend time with Him and trust Him in all things. The more of Him you have, the less of the world you'll have also. I believe God will restore your gifts accordingly.

God bless you!

That is an impressive list of the who is who of looters. If you add Tinubu's booty to these ones, it's enough to clear all of Nigeria's external debt.

This is true love...onuru ube nwanne ya agbala oso!!!

Leave it to a doomed country like Nigeria to pamper and protect a full-fledged terrorist organization like Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore.

My point exactly in my first post. A lot of Nigerians suffer from white servitude mentality.

I'm with you bro. It's terrible.

dlondonbadboy:
The governor's hands are tied..what do you want him to do? Carry arms and fight Buharis brothers himself? It seems Buhari has federalized the police...Buhari is evil..

Police was always a federal force, they do not answer to the governors. We've seen instances where the FG has withdrawn the police detail of a governor, leaving him with no security. There's really nothing Ortom can do if the police and military refuse to act.

Seems u av selective amnesia We're all witnesses, to state govts facing their security challenges head on! Everyone knows Fayose tackles ds govt at any opportunity, yet his law banning herdsmen has never been questioned nor flouted! Lets not celebrate incompetence in d name of oppossition!

Seems like you have a strong aversion to facts. What exactly did Fayose do to tackle the issue? He 'banned' the herdsmen last year and asked Ekiti hunters with their antiquated dane guns to protect the land. Despite his so-called ban, he had to intervene this year by calling for a truce when some Tivs resident in Ekiti killed a Fulani herdsman, which goes to show that Fulani herdsmen are still operating in Ekiti.
Common sense should compel you to know that some states in the middle belt are at the epicenter of the crises, where the fulani militias have concentrated their efforts. Could Ekiti hunters with their bow and arrows contend with the militarily armed fulani militias that are more or less being backed by the FG, as we've seen in the middle-belt? Besides, as stated earlier, the FG has declared that the security apparatus set up by these states to protect their people are illegal, and have responded aggressively when these people have retaliated against the fulani, even going to the extent of dropping bombs on some of these folks! In essence, rather than challenging the insanity that resides in Aso rock, you're asking the helpless state governors to declare war against the federal might.

ashjay001:
U begin to wonder, what all d security vote is abt


U see other states, kogi, Lagos, pH, all funding police n army to provide, extra security(opmesa et all). Its always d incompetent ones, crying wolf.

The state governors do not have command over the police and armed forces. This is not a matter of funding. The best they can do is to arm their own militias, which I believe Benue and Taraba did, only for the FG to strongly oppose their efforts. In fact, the last time the people of Taraba took the fight to the fulani aggressors, the Nigerian military swiftly unleashed hell on them in response. I don't see how anyone can pivot away from the obvious complicity of the FG to put blame on the governors.

The Ebola of owu never fools me. He's a treacherous devil that's looking to extricate himself from all the atrocities he has committed through the ages. Indeed, Nigerians are a gullible bunch.

So, it was actually the hausa-fulani that went on rampage yesterday...

Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom, has announced the imposition of a dusk to dawn curfew following a protest organized by Hausa-Fulani youths in Makurdi, the state capital today January 13th.

The Nation reports that some Hausa-Fulani youths at about 9am today, blocked all major streets and staged bloody protests in Makurdi.


The youths smashed vehicles, manhandled innocent people and shot others. The residents and business owners hurriedly closed their shops and ran home for fear of unknown.

The protests which caught many unaware started simultaneously at 9:30 a.m. in Wadata, Wurukum, Northbank and Angwan – Jukun areas, all in Makurdi town. These areas are mostly populated by Hausa- Fulani people. At Wadata, the Hausa youths barricaded the busy Ankpa quarters junction and smashed over 15 vehicles and injured many passengers until a team of policemen arrived the scene. They carried out their operation up to Madikpo and Dele Bookshop.

An attempt to break into Igbo electronic shops and cart away good was met with a stiff resistance from the traders who came together keep watch over their properties.

In the wake of the attacks, the state governor announced a dusk to dawn curfew.

We seem to be going through a cold season on this thread. I'll be honest, I've been in a drought myself, and I'm beginning to wonder if everyone on this thread is not going through the same. It happens sometimes, but let's stay in prayer and let's encourage one another, and we shall overcome.


Samuel And The Cold Prophet

BY MICAH TURNBO POSTED ON NOVEMBER 2, 2017

I was going through a somewhat difficult season at the beginning of 2012. I had been feeling extremely alone and had wonderful friends and family reach out to me, but my heart was cold. I was confused, hurt, and angry at God. But I couldn’t hate Him, I just wanted to know if He understood the hardship I was walking through. Please read this encounter I had bellow. Some people think that just because I see into heaven and have face to face encounters, I do not struggle. May you remember that the Prophets/Seers need Him very much! We will always need Jesus! May this encourage you!


I was alone one cold evening, pondering about my life and all that is to happen and has happened. The snow drifted over my shoes while I sat alone on a swing set. I had been going through some very hard warfare the past few months. I felt my strength fleeing from me. I whispered to God as I waited for Him to speak. I didn’t quite have the tears anymore; I used them all up. I just wanted to have the strength to make it through one more day.

I waited…no answer. I waited longer…I couldn’t hear God’s voice.

I sighed and felt invisible. “Jesus I need your help. I just don’t feel like I can do this anymore. It’s so hard right now. I am trying my best to remain faithful to you; I don’t know why I feel so alone.”

That was my last attempt to wait for Him; I didn’t know if He would come. I thought I try again tomorrow. Suddenly a peculiar man approached me.

He was dressed in a white t-shirt and had regular blue jeans on; nothing stood out about him. His green eyes smiled, “May I sit here?” He tucked his silver hair behind his ear to prepare for my answer.

I shrugged my shoulder, “Sure. My name is Micah.”

The man smiled, “I am Samuel. I know who you are and I know you very well. I watch you swing here often.” He cleared his throat and paused for a moment to sit down. He sat up straight; crossed his left leg and scratched his nose. He took a deep breath and stared right at me.

I broke the silence, “Its cold out here.” I didn’t want my new friend, who I assumed was an angel, to think I was not in the mood to talk. “Aren’t you cold?”

He looked at His arms, “Nope, I am not cold. I don’t get cold, but the world is cold is it not?” He looked at me, “The world is always cold, but Jesus is the warm light of the sun. That sunlight is in you, my friend.” He said as he rubbed my shoulders trying to warm me.

I smirked.

Samual just kept looking at me, and I looked away. I could feel compassion coming from him; he genuinely cared for me, but I just couldn’t talk to him.

Samuel asked, “Micah what is it you want the Lord to do for you?”

I burst out in anger, “I don’t want to feel alone anymore. I am tired of feeling like I don’t fit it.” I hit the angel’s leg, “I see you and hear you, but I don’t feel like I am on the right planet. I feel so weak and forgotten by Jesus.”

The angel placed His arm around me and caught my tears. In a gentle tone, he said, “Micah need I remind you, you asked for a heart that would entirely be His. You asked for His world and that His fire would be your bread and His blood your water to drink. You are angry with Him for the gift He has given you. You cannot be of this world and be living in His.” The angel lifted my sorrowed head and spoke to me, “You are not alone Micah. You have family and friends whom God has created to see you. When you feel the cold world around you, go and sit in the sunlight of God who lives in those he has placed in your life. God is light.

“But sir, I don’t feel the warmth.” I placed my hands in his, “My hands are cold.”

The angel began to warm them, ” You believe they do not know you feel or have needs. Micah, Jesus is everything you need, and in placing your hands in His, your needs will be met. That doesn’t mean you will not have a community; it means that in seeking Him, you will find that community because Jesus is always with His people.”

The angel placed my hands on my heart and disappeared; then I heard Jesus say, “Micah, I heard you. Now get up and walk forward!”

I stood up, as the setting sun’s rays touched my face. I felt His love once again and I knew I could make it through this season. I wanted to thank the angel for his encouragement, but he did not return.

Perhaps I won’t see Him anymore…I do not know.

Jesus, I love you!

@MelodiousV, my prayers are with you in this very difficult time. May our Lord grant you the strength and comfort to cope, may the love of God heal your broken heart, and restore peace and joy in your life, in Jesus name.

Psalms 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
