The government can't provide just shuttle Lal in a day.

I stand with Lagos in respect to providing world class transportation system but the government needs to take it easy.


These buses won't come in a single day, rather than seize these people's livelihood, it should be done in stages and not rushed. If all bikes and Keke are phased out let's say today,can the government single handedly bear the burden of transportation single handedly

Please government is for the people not against it. The rancour on how the government overnight seized thousands of bikes and initiated a swifg ban is anti-democratic and very militralistic


Governor Sanwo Olu be guided please

This is very serious.

The EU is not infallible.

Even the sophisticated intelligence unit of the United States once misled a whole country into believing that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Don't sleep into Geopolitics just yet. This is religion. Find yourself the memo it's public. Till then, like I said let's keep our divergent realities to ourselves


Shalom

DAVE5:
Hmmnn, at this point I'm truly short of words,

Peace, progress and love is what you, me, we want for our dear country

The kingdom of God suffereth violence and only the violent taketh it by force

Know ur strength and use ur strength wisely...

I believe he has identified his strength and has chosen his ground of how to use it and I commend him for that

Tomorrow his strength could be his voice and I believe he would use it if he thinks his voice alone can suffice

I handle issues so decisively as I'm confronted with. Not by being avoidant. This is my own version of Christianity. Power comes with responsibility. If one occupies power and doesn't understands it's use,than the consequence would confront such an entity



Shalom

BluntBoy:
First of all, define what it means to be killed gleefully?

The convoy of emirs were attacked and emir of Gwoza was killed. How can you tell if that was or was not a gleeful killing?

What priest was killed and how did you deduce glee in the way he was executed?

My dear brother let's keep our divergent realities on issues to ourselves. Like I said I would reiterate it when I see sheiks and imams leaders of mosques killed so delightfully by it's killers like they do with priests I'll take the matter as a war against humanity. EU released a memo stating Christians where needing killed. Employing it's big cache of private investigative tools o wonder how an individual moniker can wipe off such massive and important information off the earth. Like I said let's keep our realities on issues to ourselves. To each His own. Simple

[quote author= post=86310239]Nigeria will work again in our lifetime and all children of hate, perdition and frustration will be here to witness it (we pray they will not die before that beautiful time).

God bless Nigeria.[/quote]Take your negative energy away from here. You're a Muslim. Do Christians come to your thread to pollute them?

DAVE5:
Brother, well we all see things as we want, I have chosen to see it this way as a right way

There are too many ways to kill a rat...
If you need me to literally write several ways of killing a rat, I would, just so u see as i see, but you are you and you see how u choose


There are many ways of raising your voice, raising your voice against ur oppressor is not just about opening ur mouth only, you can also raise ur voice in several other ways, you can retaliate as a way of raining ur voice too

Psychological deflection. Indicative of not been direct enough to confront issues. I said it before. This is the docile naturehthat has perpetuated the faith thesedays. My dear Joshua wielded the sword from his youth till ripe old age.

BluntBoy:
And what makes you think those Muslim clerics who lost their lives were killed in pity and not delight.

Boko Haram regards anyone who speaks against them as an enemy. If you like, call yourself the Sultan of Sokoto. If you are against them, you are an infidel.

Na who be this. Mention one. Instance sheiks and imams got killed as gleefully as priests are being sluaghtered. Don't let us wait too long pelase

mvem:
so Christians should pretend that there are no doctrinal issues in the church. If not for healthy debates you think you will be here today in this free society

Indeed. Grow up. Learn to read and comprehend before being combative

Shalom

BluntBoy:
There are no evidences that more Christians have been killed than Muslims. Aside Chibok and one or two other villages, many villages in Maiduguri are dominated by Muslims. If you count the number of villages that have been attacked, you will realize that Muslims have suffered more than Christians since 2011.

Moreover, there is no pattern to Boko Haram killings. Initially, they were targeting policemen and soldiers, then they bombed churches and then they bombed mosques, and then they slaughtered students from a government school (not a religious institution), and they bombed bus stations and markets, then they target Muslim leaders.

Go and check the timeline of Boko Haram attacks and see if there is a pattern that suggests that Christians are the targets.

When sheiks or imams are killed with delight as priests please let me know. Till then Christianity is under attack

DAVE5:
Where is the pulpit brother....

Where is the church...


The church is where two or three Christian gather together, there the father is with them

Now their pulpit is the street, the church building bad how beautiful it is according to what I know is not heaven's concern, but the people, the people are the church, their cleanliness is the cleanliness of the church,

The "church" is matching.. literally now

Words can go a long way, but actions goes all the way, we all are charged with the responsibility of making our abode(nigeria) a good place

Faslehood. A man's place of assignment is the pulpit in this instance. This is the docility we're talking about. Shying away from taking responsibility

HacheNoire:
The bald head has never heard anything positive in his lifetime.

If it's not, death, it will be disease. And now it's war.

The war sound he is hearing will consume his church and members first before moving to his family, Local government and state.

Gibberish!

Shut up. Jeremiah spoke more than this

BluntBoy:
Unlike you, I will speak for every human being because that is what Jesus Christ would do. Religion has divided us but it doesn't mean we should stay behind the divides and forget that there are Muslims who have lost their lives to Boko Haram.

They may not be Christians. But they were human beings. They were as much victims of a beast called Boko Haram as the Christians were.

In 2016 or thereabout, Boko Haram bombed a mosque and killed the Muslim worshippers who had come for the early morning prayer. Those people were human beings. Muslim is just a label.

I don't confuse been liberal with being stupeed when the leader of another region/state/religion is killed on multiple occasions, that religion is under attacked. If you can't recognise the truth, how the can you speak it

kayuseful:
I was about to say something like this, but blame the op and not NL for having something like this on FP.
Except the OP is an atheist or Muslim, why on earth would you come online to post "8 most controversial issues"? Does this edify the body?
Now that it has been posted, have the issues been solved?

They are athiests. All the mods on this site have the same bias against Chrisitianity

DAVE5:
Ehen, now we are on the same page

I would like to believe this is his own way of speaking up if he feels his voice on a pulpit would not be enough

God bless Nigeria
Nigerians bless Nigeria by working and praying and doing good

The primary place of service of any minute is the pulpit. If it can't be done, then retirement should be the way out. Another thing is being coy, cunny and docile. I'll never be on the same page as long as passivity is employed.


A father sends his daughter out on errand she gets killed, the father didn't even show remorse strong positive action. I'm speaking in the event of the evangelist that was murdered. See I wot be mentored by whom I can't rely upon. Never. Christianity must be restored to proactiveness

BluntBoy:
Many Muslims have been held as well. Only a misinformed person would believe that Boko Haram is entirely driven by religion or religious convictions. It is a terror group, and its ultimate goal is to spread terror. Leah would have been released if she had renounced her faith. The group did not seem interested in any of the girls, at least not as much as they were in the Chibok girls. So, they allowed the girls go as soon as they renounced their faith. They did not even attempt to force the girls to learn the Quran as they did with the Chibok girls. As long as you renounced your Christian faith (they didn't care if it came from the heart), they let you go. They let many of the other girls go. But kept Lear because she would renounce her faith. They probably would have also let her go or even murdered her if the uproar that greeted her continued captivity did not arise.




It doesn't necessarily mean that the act is driven by religious convictions. The emir of Gwoza was a Muslim yet he was attacked by Boko Haram and killed. Many Islamic clerics have been attacked and killed, and many mosques have been bombed. Boko Haram will go against anyone who opposes their ideologies, even if that person were a Muslim.




Who is Europe? Do you mean the European Union?



Many alleged Boko Haram members have been released by the law due to a lack of evidence against them. And there are the ones who were found guilty who have gotten even life sentences. There were the unrepentant ones who were deradicalized and reintegrated into society. This is bad strategy, it doesn't mean the government is for/in support of Boko Haram. The intention of the government was to encourage the other fighters to lay down their arms and embrace peace. Think of it like a peace offering. I feel it is a bad strategy, and that there might be better strategies. But to use this to accuse the government of favoring Boko Haram is rather shallow.

I'll speka for Christians as I do. You may speka for Muslims. I'm yet to see muslim leaders violated. Secondly, it's the Christina support the administration gets that's the name of the matter hence those who provided support are necessitated to-do the needful. I'm not a Muslim appeaser. Sorry. I speka for my kingdom. You may for theirs as you see fit. For me, judgement must begin in the house of God

The shopping platform often offers a refund. There have to be a way to prove to the platform that I didn't make the orders. Losing 59k at a spot isn't a nice feeling really.

This is an issue o. Block the card. Speak to your card issuer/bank. Then try to chat with AliExpress and tell them your card was fraudulently used and you want the order cancelled and the funds sent back to you account. All these may take up to 28 days to investigate and fix

Brother; I hope I can call you brother, I'm not Yoruba though I was born and brought up in Lagos, but my children wld have Yoruba in their blood, I'm part Igbo(mum), my dad was a Moslem, my dad is a middle belt/northern descent, I have bowed my head in a mosque before, now I kneel in a church

My name carries the 3 tribes in nigeria, not like segun arinze that carries 2, he is a learner

My name still carries Muslim and Christian join


I'm the most mixed Nigerian you can ever know, even my children wld be more mixed than I am

So BROTHER we can not continue to sit and watch

Things have gotten "out of hand", We have to do something before they get "out of sight"

And this my friend is one of the steps in the right direction

They keep embezzling monies they can't finish in their ten life times

If I was the president I would bow my head in shame if this happens at a big scale

I would buy Rolls Royce, I would buy Lamborghinis, build an empire but I would do that through my smart and hard work not by stealing and impoverishing the lives of people, these guys are heartless



So 1 days I told myself I would be president of this country... But I guess I would be killed before my time but I know I would crumble plenty bastards, my family would probably not be safe if I did half the things I intend to do because evil people would set a manhunt for my downfall

I still have that vision in sight, I would die happy if I did half the things I intend to do as president of Nigeria if my guts would let me do them but I must not waiver

I'm currently not a politician or political activist, but like how Donald Trump did his is exactly going to be my entry mode, I pray God leads my way right to see this come to fruition

Amen to your causes. I agree with all you've said but can the Christian leaders like Paul grow some balls and speak the truth to power for goodness sakes?

The Bible clearly said divorce is not allowed unless in the case of Adultery,



So even if my husband beats me, drinks and smokes.. I should still be with him

The Bible doesn't say divorce isn't allowed except in cases of idolatry

Why must we keep have controversies when it comes to Christian issues but Muslim threads on Friday are all pro-pristine threads. Nairaland and it's hatred for Christianity

DAVE5:
As a concerned citizen of Nigeria, as a concerned Christian, as a concerned Catholic, as a concerned person, as a concerned husband, as a concerned would-be-father, we have spoken, the deaths of thousands have spoken, the death of Christian and Muslims alike (due to insecurity, corruption,political ineffective et al), we have argued, we have prayed, we have hoped, we have begged, we have sat and watched I say it is a welcome approach, even apostle Paul would breakdown looking at the way things are in Nigeria


Do you remember the walls of Jericho fell down flat, do you remember Moses leading his people out of Egypt?

The walls of this our Jericho must fall down flat


Signed: a concerned citizen and Christian

When certain people kidnapped a mixture of Muslims and Christians. Only a Christian was held captive


When certain persons kidnap the leader of another religion, it doesn't require soothsaying to understand what it clearly implies.


Even Europe released a memo less than two weeks ago about systemic killing of Christians even under the watch of security agencies.

The release of close to 1000 murderers who took innocent people's life is clear indicative to Tell some people the government belongs to them and they can do and undo and nothing would happen. Since this administration came in, mention cases where we've had successful convictions in clear cases of murder,ethnic cleansing and genocide


I wash my blood of the guilt of this nation by calling out all apologists of this administration to reconsider it's standpoint and posture



Please o. Let me tell this administration that they're blood thirsty murderers. I prefer to be in jail one year for sepkaing up than play politics by keeping mute. I rather not have government contracts, crude oil Wells. Than tell these guys what their ills are.

Simple. This is my standpoint

tiwiex:
LOL. I laugh in swahili. I have always thought Christians were docile and I put the blame on the pace set by Adeboye especially. His message is always around prayers and miracles. I am surprised he came out for a protest walk. There is a limit to when to preach prayer and there is a time to send a no nonsense signal.

I have been expecting this ass far back as when the Christian woman was killed in Abuja. Nothing happened because she was just as member or they had not seen enough yet. I take the second option. Maybe they thought Buhari was playing with being sectional at the time. The impact has had far reaching consequences.

Well, it's hopefully better late than ever.

The pace set by someone. I ticked that part

AfroKnight:
I cannot find a link that’s why I asked you who made the allegation.

Sorry o. If searching the web is so hard for you then sorry. Enjoy your day

Kindly share a link.

DAVE5:
The walking should not be viewed as just walking for sho


It should be seen as a movement, a movement for the betterment of lives of even the poorest Nigerian whose name is not known and whose father is a nobody....


I'm a Catholic and this is the very first thing I've seen these other churches do that I think all Catholic priests, bishops should emulate

Its a call to wake up from our slumber and start acting and demanding for the right things


Share a smile, Share love, share peace, share progress

As a concerned Christian, and as a soldier of Christ and a loyalist of the Kingdom of God even into death to which my loyalty to the kingdom is unegotiatable, even at the cost of my blood even today which I can choose to give my life for if called by my Maker and the Almighty in chief, I believe and see this as a cowardly act and a turning aside from a direct and truthful approach.
Speaking the truth to power is more direct and profitable


Elijah spoke the truth to Kings

Moses confronted one of the craziest ruler of all times, Samuel. Speaking the truth in boldness like Paul did even to rulers during his own days is what God requires of you and not chapping. Chapping shows to an aggressor you're unwilling to assume responsibility and tkae charge hence his ego is further fuelled to cause more damage



Personally I've entered the streets confronted people almost to my hurt. Even online. I've offered myself up for arrest...to speak the truth when authority needs to hear it. This is what is expected. And not tla docile timid approach to issues. If the antiChrist or another more severe tyrannical leadership comes around, would this be how we'll handle issues?


On behalf of Jesus, God and the kingdom, I advocate proactiveness

BTW I remember how our father Pastor Tunde Bakare was almost on another elder, Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo week in, week out talking at and against him at every slight opportunity during his tenure. Somehow he seem to have lost his voice over the past few years and even went to present a gift to an imperfect administration. I wonder the purpose of that gift, if it were for conscience buying towards 2023


The instability and inconsistency in decision making in the Christendom needs to be fixed and fast
