You leave everyone from Africa follow someone from Nazareth. Lol. What this story book has caused.

the church is already send people to meet him by force

Make i hit the nail on the head.
When pastors and churches constantly flaunt their wealth buying private jets and exotic cars they are essentially painting a giant target on their congregations. They are advertising the church as a lucrative financial institution, not just a place of worship.

The most painful part is that it is the poor, faithful members who will suffer for this ostentation. The wealthy pastors are already shielded by tight police and private security. So, the kidnappers will logically target the vulnerable, everyday worshippers. They become the pawns because the criminals now believe the church has the money to pay. The poor are used as human ATMs, and their suffering is the price of their leaders' vanity.

You should be thankful to that medical expert just imagine if the medical expert has spent all his years praying instead of practicing and acquiring knowledge on how to best impact the society with the knowledge again.
do you think this would have been a successful operation if you had to spend this time praying instead of learning?

This this the handwork of the church ⛪️

This is not the time for prayers it is the time for the greatest offering you will ever give. Open the vaults you say are meant for God's work and use that wealth to literally redeem the lives of His people. Since you have made yourselves the custodians of both the spiritual and financial life of your flock, then you must now be the ones to lead the charge in paying this ransom. There is no more direct work of God than this.

And now, let this be the moment all those top men of God the Bishops, Apostles, and Reverends who have built empires on the offerings of the people prove their divine calling. You have amassed great wealth from your congregations, often untaxed and unaccounted for, all in the name of building the house of God. Well, a part of His house has been violently stolen, and His worshippers are priced at a hundred million naira each.

This is not the time for prayers alone it is the time for the greatest offering you will ever give.

Speak for yourself not others learn to independ. You hear

I believe the worst thing invented is long distance communication media.

Without it, humanity would have remained in smaller, self-sufficient regions. People would have been forced to develop their own local resources and knowledge. This would have prevented the spread of negative influence and rudeness from one distant person to another, fostering more local accountability and organic growth.

I once askedmy grandpa this question. (RIP papa), he immediately said my child, sit down. Sit by this fire and let an old man share with you the wisdom of our fathers and our fathers' fathers. He then looked straight into my eyes and said this is a good question, and it touches the very heart of who we are.
But listen carefully, child, They are not gone.


They are now the Living Dead. They are with us still. They sit with us in the quiet moments. They hear us when we speak their names. They watch over the family, for they are the guardians of our lineage.
This is why we pour libations a little palm wine, gin or water onto the earth. We are giving them drink. This is why we place food for them at our ceremonies. We are sharing our meal. We do not "worship" we honour them, we remember them, we include them in the life of the family.

If we forget them, if we stop speaking their names and telling their stories, then their spirit can fade. This is the true death, the second death, when you are forgotten by the living. This is the greatest tragedy.

This tragic news makes you question the generational gap in our leadership. If the grandson is 62, it puts things into perspective. President Tinubu is 81. The historical Awolowo, whom Tinubu has often cited as a friend and contemporary from his NPN days, has been gone for decades. It highlights a stark reality where our nation is led by a generation that has long held onto power, while their own children's generation are now becoming senior citizens themselves. When will true leadership transition occur?

Your attempt to justify a two tiered legal system based on a person's boldness or arrogance is fundamentally flawed and dangerous. The law must be applied equally whether a crime is committed in hiding or in the open is irrelevant what matters is that justice is blind and consistent. Your argument conveniently ignores the powerful individuals and sponsors of violence who operate not in hiding but in plain sight, enjoying protection and impunity. If we only prosecute the "bold" and ignore the "hidden" who cause greater harm, we are not upholding justice but enforcing a selective tyranny that erodes the very foundation of the society you claim to defend.

Vision101:
The other actors though illegal were hiding while doing what they are doing. Kanu was so bold. Looked at president Buhari and insulted him to no end. Carried all manner of propaganda against him. If you were in the south east his broadcasts were like order from the president. The Biafran flag was everywhere. People's businesses and lives were disrupted. Schools were closed. Children couldn't take their exams. Many people up till now don't go to their villages because of ESN.

In all these he kept being arrogant and insulting everyone including courts and judges.

Your analogy is flawed and misses the entire point. The law must be equal for all what is good for the goose is good for the gander. The issue is not that others haven't been caught it is that powerful individuals, once charged, are never truly prosecuted, while the full, unforgiving weight of the law is unleashed on others. This is not justice it is a deliberate and hypocritical two tiered system designed to protect the powerful and crush the vocal.

Epiphany77:
Bizarre logic,imagine a thief is caught and his defence is that why was too much focus on me and not other thieves?

This condemnation is justified while the Nigerian government sends delegations and makes empty gestures, our people are being slaughtered in their homes and communities. It is past time for this administration to replace excuses with concrete, decisive action to end the bloodshed and restore security.

The church has become a major problem in Nigeria by constantly organizing one event after another, consuming all your time and mental space from January to December and preventing you from focusing on tangible, real world solutions. Instead of these endless programs that keep you perpetually busy and docile, shouldn't the collective power of all these churches be directed toward the existential threat facing our nation? If all these churches came together as one unified force to actively fight and condemn the terrorism slaughtering our people, we might actually see change, but that would require them to be a voice of action in the world, not just an escape from it.


But they are all COWARDS

This condemnation is justified; while the Nigerian government sends delegations and makes empty gestures, our people are being slaughtered in their homes and communities.

No foreign interference, but we must face the truth. When the whole world can see our judiciary is broken and biased, it destroys the trust that law and order are built on. A broken judiciary breaks the nation.

If government use illegal means like rendition from Kenya catch Kanu, how dem fit justify the case?
Na the same law dem dey break to prosecute am. That one no make sense at all.
You understand ba.

NOETHNICITY:
As a grammarian, I know you understand that extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. The only party truly justified in complaining about the circumstances of his arrest is the Kenyan government.

The real issue is the selective application of the law. If you punish one man harshly for his actions while ignoring others who cause greater harm, it isn't justice it's a two-tiered system. Justice must be blind.

This is the very mindset that keeps us in chains. The Bible says 'faith without works is dead.' If your child is hungry, do you only pray for God to feed them, or do you also get up and find them food? God gave us a brain to think and hands to work. To only pray for protection while refusing to build a fence, hold our leaders accountable, and defend ourselves is to test God, not to trust Him.

Kingsome:
Nigeria is in God's hand. Only God can protect Nigerian from th enemies of th nation.

Illegal Foundation This refers to his extraordinary rendition. He was illegally arrested in Kenya and forcibly brought to Nigeria, bypassing all international extradition treaties. A case built on such a foundation is legally poisoned from the start.

Double Standard It's the selective application of the law. While the state pursues Kanu with immense resources, other powerful individuals (e.g., known sponsors of terrorism or corruption who have caused greater death and poverty) operate with impunity.

This creates a two-tiered system one for dissidents and another for the connected elite.

seunmsg:
What’s the illegal foundation and double standard in the case?

You miss the point. The argument isn't that Kanu is innocent, but that the process is flawed. Using big grammar is necessary to explain that a legal foundation built on extraordinary rendition (illegally kidnapping him from Kenya) is itself a crime. When the state breaks its own laws to prosecute someone, it undermines the entire case, regardless of the defendant's guilt.

You go speak big grammar tire, in the end Kanu will be jailed

Asari Dokubo led an armed militant group in the Niger Delta, openly bearing arms and threatening the sovereignty of Nigeria over oil resources. He was arrested and charged with treason in 2005 but was later released and has since reintegrated, even having meetings with presidents.
This creates a perception of a regional or ethnic bias, where a militant leader from one region was pardoned and rehabilitated, while a secessionist leader from another is pursued with the full, unrelenting force of the state.

The fairness of Nnamdi Kanu's judgment is questioned not because he is seen as blameless by all, but because the process appears politically motivated, illegal in its foundation, and applied with a clear double standard. The state's overwhelming focus on him, while seemingly turning a blind eye to the actions of other powerful individuals who have caused greater tangible harm to the Nigerian populace, creates a powerful and persistent perception of injustice and a two tiered legal system.

There are widespread allegations that some politically exposed persons are sponsors of banditry and terrorism in the North. Arrests are rare, and prosecutions are even rarer. A former governor, Yahaya Bello, is currently free after corruption charges
