The entire drama reminds me of the saying from my mentor: "It is praise worthy to be brave and fearless, but SOMETIMES it is better to be a coward. We often stand in the compound of a coward to point at the ruins where a brave man used to live."

Man ought to have threaded carefully too.
He was kinda arrogant during this reign and still arrogant in the court

Imagine eastern ppl bowing to him and women laying down their clothes for him to walk on, no big deal in all those, but the feelings he demonstrated on those events, indicated he's already seeing himself as their lord.

Can't also forget an incident where he went to face the soldiers, beating chest, there's also a place he was telling his followers, saying he would go to Abuja and come back with the head of the president, during Buhari's regime can't forget that.

Should Buhari be alive and still the president, this would have been a different sentence.

Mr Man Threaded with so much pride and arrogance mhen, it's well.

If only Eastern "loyalty" ever counted!

What were people expecting?
So unfortunate they allowed the case drag this long.
How long did it take the Finish government to sentence Ekpa.
Instead of his lawyers to address issues, they were busy distracting the courts.
His free to appeal , but he should calm down and address issues objectively.

Buhari was afraid.

Revealer3:
This proverb is apt and instructive but cowardice doesn't change anything.

Bravity causes change,if not now but later

SOMETIMES, is the operating word.

And Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the felon and a terrorist without gun to be sentenced tomorrow. Northerners are the terrorists while southerners are sentenced.

It's not fair, true. What is food for the goose, is food for the gander.

If Gambling with, and sacrificing the lives of our solders all for sake of their political Stvpidity is what it means to be patriotic,then, please permit me to ask--"Is everything okay with you upstairs, sir?

Seconded.

Spend your money wisely. They all resort to the above lines to cover for their shame in the end!

No...have 1 child. Just as you'd leave the child when the time comes (no matter the love), it's how the child's siblings willnleave when their time comes. Spare the child of future torture. Team 1 child!

They are special citizens...Buhari made sure of it.

press9jatv:
Finally this relationship is going to an end.

There was no "relationship" from the beginning. Oga just wanted to monopolize a couchie destined for the streets....and madam wanted to sit in a private jet.

Plateau "Legislative quarters" also require intervention!

Adults should steer clear of marrying children. See how she's reducing the man to her level of maturity and reasoning daily!

They have learned that Trump's weakness is to be worshipped. They want to exploit that!

This is the age of social media...they can no longer get away with sycophancy!

Kai...Nigeria! Well...time will tell.

Ttalk:
Taming the insurgency should be the priority of a sincere Nigerian now and not hunger in the US.

It is high time the FG take decisive action against the perpetual killings of the Christian in the north.

The insurrection of Jihadists in the form of Boko Haram, ISWAP, Bandits and Kidnappers are out on one mission to destroy anyone who doesn't practice their faith and take their land.

Their targets are

The Christians

The indigene either Christians or Muslims who doesn't allow them perpetuate their evil agenda

The Muslim individual or community who is perceived to disagree with their doctrine and actions

Every other faith who doesn't agree with them.


Have you ever seen Sultan publicly condemn any attack?
Have you seen any Muslim political leader condemn their actions publicly?
How many BH, Bandit have the Sharia law caught and prosecuted?

It is high time the world intervene and expose al the people who directly and inderectly support these terrorist.

Killing must stop or outright dissolution of Nigeria through referendum should take place.

The blood of millions of innocent lives including Deborah is crying for justice.

There is no excuse from the government. Enough

Seconded! In fact, thirded.

BrightAhiah99:
Assuming they succeeded in their planned coup, Nigeria would have returned back to Military regime which many hoped for due to good governance witnessed in democrazy democratic era

It's not the military regime that bothers me; it is returning Nigeria to Northern hegemony.

You don't beat it by being smart; it's only overcome by the enabling of the Holy Spirit. Quote me daily, twice when your "smartness" fails.

ZombieDredd:
You got it wrong.

If there is a divorce, no party should be married again unless death separates them.

Also If you marry one that is divorced you have committed adultery

It's why I still respect Pastor Chris, albeit his recent conflicting doctrine on one of the decisions of Christ regarding Mrs Mary.

Omosofe69:
This is what CHAT GPT says. The word of God is final for every believer not what the society says:

The Question

Can a sound believer remarry after his wife has left him on her own accord (i.e., she abandoned him without just cause)?

🔹 Step 1: God’s original design for marriage

Genesis 2:24 — “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”

Matthew 19:6 — “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”

Marriage is meant to be lifelong and exclusive — “one flesh” until death (Romans 7:2–3).
So the default position of Scripture is: marriage is not to be broken, and remarriage while the first spouse lives is adultery (Luke 16:18).

🔹 Step 2: When separation occurs

Sometimes, one spouse deserts the other. Paul directly addressed this in 1 Corinthians 7, the clearest New Testament teaching on the matter.

1 Corinthians 7:10–11 (KJV)
“And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.”

👉 If a wife departs (leaves her husband), Paul says she has two options:

Remain unmarried, or

Be reconciled to her husband.

And the husband, likewise, must not remarry another while she lives.

🔹 Step 3: When an unbelieving spouse departs

Paul adds another scenario:

1 Corinthians 7:15
“But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.”

This is often called the Pauline privilege — the only case where a believer may be “not under bondage” to remain tied to the marriage.
Key phrase: “not under bondage.”

What does it mean?

It implies freedom from the marital obligation when an unbelieving spouse deserts a believer.

The believer is then free to remarry, since the marriage bond has been broken by the unbeliever’s willful desertion.

🔹 Step 4: If both spouses are believers

If the deserter is a believer, the case changes.
Paul said:

“If she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled.” (1 Cor 7:11)

So if she’s a believer who walks away without biblical cause (adultery or unbelief), she’s in disobedience — but her departure does not free the husband to remarry. He must wait for either reconciliation or her death (Romans 7:2–3).

🔹 Step 5: Summary Table
Situation Scripture May the believer remarry?
Wife leaves but both are believers 1 Cor. 7:10–11 ❌ No — must remain unmarried or reconcile
Wife commits adultery Matt. 19:9 ✅ Yes — adultery dissolves the marital covenant
Wife is an unbeliever and deserts him 1 Cor. 7:15 ✅ Yes — not under bondage, free to remarry
Wife dies Rom. 7:2–3 ✅ Yes — death ends the marriage bond
🔹 Step 6: Core Principle

Romans 7:2–3
“For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth... So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress.”

Matthew 19:9
“Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery.”

Unless there’s fornication (sexual immorality) or unbelief/desertion by an unbeliever, remarriage while the first spouse lives is considered adultery in Scripture.

🔹 Final Verdict (Strict Scriptural View)

If a believing wife leaves her husband on her own accord, without adultery and without being an unbeliever,
the sound believer husband must not remarry.
He must either remain single or pray for reconciliation.

Only if she:

Commits adultery, or

Proves to be an unbeliever who has willfully departed,
may he, according to Scripture, be “not under bondage” and thus free to remarry.

Thanks for this expose, albeit from ChatGpt; it puts a lingering question to rest in my heart.

Mrchippychappy:
Nothing disgusts me more than when people are quick to point out problems without proffering any solution. Are the Christians being slaughtered supposed to just fold their hands and wait until Sowore is elected? Is that the solution?

He wants to get Northern votes! This is the intrinsic disgusting behavior of all our politicians.

RealityKings1:
Divide and conquer.
Once the US see an African country, moving towards self sustainability economically, they attack.

They are the same people funding the terrorists indirectly.

People are dying...Government is turning the perpetrators "repentant." We need help!!!

For once we need action. People living in forests shouldn't be better equipped than trained soldiers! God bless Trump.

Reaction...people are dying with reckless abandon. All the Baba cares about at this moment is democracy!

US is not afraid of calling the sacred cows out. Evil people!
