He said "Wahala for who go marry Efcc kind of wife ,instead of marrying a prayer warrior"

You mean SARS kind of wife?

Garba was spitting nonsense, clearance was not granted when the farmers are planting and no boko haram attack then it's now that they are harvesting that they need clearance. Then army spoke man said locals are providing info to boko haram about their movements, I won't be surprised if those providing info are the same boko members that have been released and integrated back to the same society!
God Almighty will protect us from the insensitive and wicked rulers. Your rewards is with Allah SWT. If any of the farmers is your relative, will you be saying those stupid things.
Wicked souls!

I am home today nursing a torn muscle from my treadmill workouts and thought that I should comment on something that happened recently.

I noticed that a video was trending on Twitter a few days ago. It was a video of folks from a church in the Southeastern part of Nigeria holding a prayer walk for Donald Trump.
We saw reports earlier that another church in the region also held a parade for Trump. Those of you who follow me know that I have written about this strange phenomenon of Nigerians, particularly Igbos (my ethnic group), supporting and praying for Trump.

It started with the false meme that spread on social media that Trump supports Igbos (Biafrans). Some Igbos are pushing to secede from Nigeria due to their discontentment with the tensions between Christians in the North (Igbos are mostly Christians) and Muslims in the North.

Many of us Nigerians in the United States are dual citizens. We have often found it baffling that our brothers and sisters back home don’t seem to fully understand who Trump is.

Most of them truly believe that Trump is a devout Christian and some even call him a God-sent. Those of us who know Trump better find the claim to be ludicrous. Anyway, I have often tried not to be too critical of our folks back home, but seeing this video trending on Twitter and reading that Trump acknowledged it sent me over the edge.

While I understand that we are all entitled to our opinions, beliefs, and values, I find myself in a position of using my own voice to express my opinion and disdain for what I am seeing.

This is personal to me. I recognize that I am about to take a harsh tone here, but sometimes you’ve got to take a stand for your own values. I have no doubt in my mind that Trump does not give a damn about Igbos or Nigerians. In fact, he has blocked visas and family reunification programs for Nigerians.

He has not spoken out against the issue of police brutality in Nigeria, which most of our Igbo folks are fighting against with the #EndSARS movement. Trump has also blocked the appointment of Nigerians to leadership positions within some international organizations.

So, if you are one of the Nigerians holding prayer vigils and parading for Trump, shame on you! You are actively praying for a man who is doing his best to make life harder for your brothers and sisters in the diaspora.

I have not seen a prayer walk from any of you for the various issues we’ve encountered. We’ve had mass shootings in the United States and none of you held parades or vigils to pray for our safety. You pray for Trump and shamelessly tell us that we need to return home if we find his policies unbearable.

Meanwhile, you are all too happy to receive the billions of dollars in remittances that we send to Nigeria every year. Your prayers for Trump are prayers against our welfare and the welfare of our children. So, shame on you!

I don’t comment too much on events happening in Nigeria and it’s not because I don’t care; it’s just that I left Nigeria decades ago, which means that I can no longer draw on my lived experience for commentary.

I can rely on research, but that means that I will miss some nuances because one’s lived experience will always trump what one can deduce from reading. Many of you Nigerians praying for Trump actually believe that reading memes and news articles make you experts on Trump and the American experience.

You see the things you hear on the 700 Club and TBN as non-partisan and true. You are often dismissive of your brothers and sisters in the United States who draw on their lived experience to form their opinion of Trump. It will be nice if you would give us the benefit of the doubt and acknowledge that we may know this guy better than you do.

Trump does not give a damn about you or any other African nation! Trump is not a Christian, so shame on you for believing otherwise! Shame on you for supporting someone who saw a black man sitting in his lobby as an eyesore.

Shame on you for professing to be Christians even as you support a conman who defrauds workers, sleeps with porn stars, separates children from their parents, denounces refugees fleeing war-torn locations, takes away food stamps from children, and who is actively working to take away health insurance from millions.

The Igbos pride themselves on being smart. Whatever caused you to parade for a man who is pushing the world toward anti-intellectualism? Were we not taught that God is love? What does your Bible say about lust, greed, wrath, envy, and pride? Are they still deadly sins or not?

We have a name for people who sympathize with their abusers. We need to see if this is a case of the Stockholm Syndrome or just another case of the regular, everyday colonial mentality.

I recognize that I am being tough here, but if you are willing to support a white supremacist who spends all day sowing division, then rest assured that I have no problem distancing myself from you and your values.

I'm yet to see his supporters in Nigeria alias Igbos to start their own protest!
We're waiting!

maolah:
christian must celebrate trump victory (idiotest awon omo leyin jesu I laugh in igbo language)!!!

Don't add insults into injury for these people, they are in great sifia pain!

nairavsdollars:
Is is true Trump said he will rather commit suicide than handover?

Can't really say! But it's not more than what he can utter! But what's sure is he and is Igbos supporters are in great sifia pain!

humilitypays:
Joe Biden should note that what destroyed Trump was not his clamp down on Muslim Terrorist in Middle-East and Africa, not any of his internal policies, what then destroyed Trump you may ask It was his inhumane immigration policies that shut American doors to vulnerable people from poor countries...his harsh immigration policy that made so many minors and babies to die at immigration camps near US borders with Mexico...God don't joke with children because their soul is the holy spirit, pure like diamond You cannot love God and hate children! God is kind, God is loving, God is love. If you love God and want God to fight for you in time of distress, you must learn to show compassion, empathy and kindness towards children, the poor, and the vulnerable no matter what.




Almost every Amercan citizen today are immigrants, they migrated from one country or another out of poverty, civil war crises, dying economy, hunger, political turmoil, etc, so why would Trump whose great grandparents were also immigrants, whose wife is also an immigrant decide to shut American doors against the poor and vulnerable Is he not aware that those poor people from poor countries like Nigeria, India, Mexico, etc are the people that built the America he is enjoying today through provision of cheap labors


Biden if you like when you become the next US President, follow Satan Obama's footsteps and empower Muslim terrorists to overrun the world again, also force African nations to pass LGBT into law, the way sickness will deal with you eh, Buhari's case will be a childsplay

Very illogical. Your arguement lacks common sense!

ebenezer202l:
old man shut it and go and sit down.
Trump isn't as clueless as you are.
And I support Trump not to concede defeat to that old beast.
I'm sure the supreme court will overturn the defeat to Trump's favor.
I see Trump smiling last.

You think say America is Nigeria where court decide decides who win an election.

When the prime minister comes to sell you an IPO, you, the investor, take the meeting. When that prime minister turns up with no bodyguards and shows remarkable knowledge of the company he is promoting, you, the investor, take notice. When Nika Gilauri, the premier of Georgia, tells you that the prosperity of his country has been achieved because it has become one of the “least corrupt” countries in the world, you, the investor, take note.



But it wasn’t always like that. After the demise of the USSR, Georgia was not only one of the most corrupt of the former-Soviet republics, it was one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Bribe-to-drive was the norm; police stopped cars at least twice an hour to extort a non-trivial sum of money. The then-interior minister infamously quipped: “Give me petrol only. My people will take care of their own salaries.” Being a traffic cop was so lucrative that you had to pay a bribe of between $2,000 and $20,000 to get the job in the first place. Graft was endemic. Georgians passed more envelopes to bent officials than the post office does letters. Meanwhile the economy crumbled and the state was left bankrupt and powerless.



The election of Mikhail Saakashvili changed everything. A bold reformer, he was swept to power in the “Rose Revolution” at the end of 2003 by the overwhelming desire for radical change. His closely-knit team is unified by a common vision and supported by a compliant parliament and judiciary.



The new government wasn’t just radical – it shocked and awed. Ministers, oligarchs and officials were sacked or arrested. Those who resisted were dealt with decisively, sometimes brutally. The state confiscated $1bn worth of property. Custom officials bore collective responsibility; an entire shift would be punished if one officer was caught accepting bribes. Corrupt professors were kicked out with a lifetime ban from academia. But the piece de la resistance was Saakashvili’s order to sack the entire 16,000-strong police force on a single day, to replace them with some of the best and brightest university graduates. Today, Georgia ranks alongside Finland as having the least corrupt police force in the world and their standout uniforms are rumoured to have been designed by Armani.



The campaign expanded irresistibly. Tax offices were equipped with CCTV; university exam papers were printed in the UK and held in bank vaults until needed; and officials were constantly tested in sting operations. The proactive assault on graft was accompanied by a PR campaign to undermine respect for criminal groups and introduce respect for the law.



The campaign then turned to the sectors. First up was the power sector that was widely used as a cash cow for well-connected oligarchs. In less than a year, Georgia went from net importer to exporter of electricity and the sector became the target of long-term foreign investment.



Tax collection followed. Georgia’s tax base consisted of just 80,000 companies in 2003 and tax collection was a mere 12% of GDP. Saakashvili slashed red tape and introduced flat personal and corporate taxes. Eight years later over 250,000 companies are on the register, and pay the equivalent of 25% of GDP. Georgia now boasts one of the most liberal tax regimes in the world, on par with the Gulf states and Hong Kong.



Lastly came deregulation, with many rules and agencies simply abolished, removing channels of corruption in the process. Among other things, car registration became so easy that used cars became the largest export item in 2011. Georgia moved swiftly from the bottom of the World Bank’s Doing Business ranking (112) into the top 20 (16) by 2012. Foreign investment followed and fuelled a multi-year surge.



But perhaps, the most lucrative Georgian export would be the fight against corruption itself – from which many states mired in graft could benefit. The Georgians patented a process whose steps are replicable: establish early reform credibility by radical action, launch a frontal assault excluding no sacred cows, attract new blood, limit the role of the state via privatisation and deregulation, use technology and communication to maximum effect, and above all, be bold and purposeful. Georgia’s close and distant neighbours should take heed. Their prime ministers and presidents have got their job cut out for them.

It's obvious that national assembly is a major drain pipe thru which the country resources is being wasted. This has no known business yet he continued spending months after losing elections.
Nigerians are to docile to fight for their rights. It's the same national assembly that will convince labour union to take 30k as minimum wage that the country is poor.

ICC that the likes of Professor Teslim Olawale Elias presided over and the world judicial system was in awe of his intellect.
A former Lord Chief Justice of England & Wales once exclaimed "if there's anything in law that Elias doesn't know, that thing doesn't worth to be known"
In 2020, somebody is sending a mediocre to represent the country.

joefelin2345:
You are correct. Even among some African tribes, a dead person could be so treated if the cause of his/her death is suspicious. The only problem is that his/her spirit could be restless if the suspicion that someone caused the death turns out to be false.

How are you so sure their own Dicks will not judge you either. "Obinrin s'owa nu, o'lohun o Lori oko (a lady lacks character, yet she complained she's unfortunate to hook a suitor)

not surprise typical Christian comments. If he is a Christian you ppl always find a way to blame him. But if he is a Muslim you always attack his religion. Hypocrites

Don't mind the fool. It is how Igbo people reasoned, not necessarily Christians, Igbo people hatred for Muslims and Islam is cannot be described and either they like it or not, religion of Allah will triumph.

Sometimes this kind of penalty will brimg sense back to the people. The reality of not using self-protecting equipment.
