oxford: Rate yourself first. How many of your new year resolutions have you kept?

igbsam: @Abes. Those rules you quoted there above from the Bible are made by the priests of God before christ came into this world. But when christ came, the one and greatest commandment he gave was to love your neighbours as yourself.

He went as far as showing such love by laying down his life. He even expressed such love by going to dine with zacheus and also the same love was shown to the prostitute. He also accepted sinners into his fold and made them his disciples.

Christ teaches love and not hate. He abolished those laws of old and brought salvation to the world.

Christ is a messenger of God and so is Mohammed. Christ thought his followers love to all humans of different races, characters, backgrounds and not hate. What did mohammed teach his followers.

Love is when the thief on the cross asked christ to remember him in paradise and he replied him with an answer to bring him into his father's house. Love is the teachings of the Bible and not hatred.

We all serve one God both Christians and Muslims. His messengers are jesus and mohammed. So its what his servants teaches you that you follow. Jesus teaches love and never asked for us to fight our neighbours. But what did mohammed teach ?

Pls don't take my posts on the wrong side. Just saying it to my own understanding and I could be wrong to some people here. But my own contribution sha.

abes: If they don't carry out the instructions as stated in the Bible, then they are non-believers.

Rhino.5dm:
Fixed.

Stop deluding yourself. Abi na spare part money Fashola dey take build am?

ogugua88: Isn't a divorce considered a rainy day?

No one expects a divorce in the same token that no one expects a spouse to die young and suddenly or be maimed and rendered disabled. These are some reasons why people seek independent women, just in case.

About prenups, I don't think being sure has anything to do with it. A lot of divorcees were certain that their spouses wouldn't hurt them, and they ended up hurt and unprepared for post-marital life.

I'm sure I won't crash my car because I'm a safe driver, but I wear my seatbelt anyway.

peedeeasobie: With trepidation and holy fear I read the comments and I discover why and how a lot of people will be deceived by the anti-christ wen he shows up.

Men's heart are already hardened against God and his christ. Men now trust the state instead of God.

Someone said, "close the churches, there are a lot of fakes". My question is, are there not fake shoes? Are there not fake clothes? Are there not fake products? Do u then close down all shoes because there are fake ones? Do u go naked because pple are wearing fake clothes?

Where are the nations that built their economy without "religion" today? How is spanish economy today? America started gravitating towards statehood and their economy started crumbling.

Someone said "what of china?" Are u blind? Can't u study history? Where are the soviet unions of those days? Where is the great berlin wall? Make no mistakes abt it, if china continues on the path of Godlessness, they will crumble.

Mark my words, the days of Paul Biya are numbered!

HolyHolla: The three main points you made are disagreeable.

If you advocate banning of all religion, I'll equally add that we ban all forms of individual reasoning, then we can turn everyone into zombies.

You are very wrong about China too. They are a religious society with various religious groups, particularly oriental religions and including Christians. Though, during the heat of the Revolution, Christian groups were proscribed except for state sanctioned Christian religion, Catholicism, Chinese government have now seen wisdom in allowing more flexibilty. Yet, it is a more glorious time for Chinese economy than during the Revolution.

Even if there is no religion in Nigeria, our leaders will still "have been stealing us blind" (sic) as long as we remain corrupt, selfish, materialistic, tribalistic and hero-worshipping.

Consider this:
Great Britain and other western countries prospered under Christian forms of life, laws and style of living, but now, as they dismantle their values, their societies are being corrupted and the economies are collapsing. Note also that it was Christian pilgrims and adventurers that founded and built the U.S., which also is now collapsing after devaluing their Christian principles.

I submit that it's not the problem of religion; it's our African psyche we need to change.

ghettodreamz: So all the closed churches have been operating illegally for many years and it just dawn on him that he should take this step? I really don't get it.. Perhaps, this is one of the many ways Satan and his cohorts are planning to use in order to diminish number of people who are candidates of Heaven; by using all these earthly government rulers(anti-Christ) to carry out his evil acts.

Well, Satan is such a BIG LOSER on this, because 'No Matter What' JESUS REIGNS

Judas2013: Jesus is a curse to Nigeria

Pastor Kun: The so called word preached there is a twisted and false gospel and the miracls are always unverifiable.

Pataki: Paraga is ruining your life.

Tell me, which kind of president replaces constituted security operatives with militants?

Tell me, which kind of president immediately starts defending October 1 bombing militants claiming that it is not his people involved?

Tell me, why did Jonathan call boko haram members his brothers and sisters?

You and the ediots who liked your foolish comment are an embarrassment to the sanity of this nation.

deeptesting: I thought El-Rufai was a technocrat,he is the one playing the Ethnic card to curry cheap political favor and not the reverse as claimed on the report of Governance and Sustainable Initiatives Ltd.,entitled Analysis and Lessons of the Current Geopolitical Distribution of Federal Appointments. Jonathan has refused to follow ethnic and tribal lines in given appointments to avoid having square pegs in round holes as we have had in previous administrations that have brought us to this state of quagmire..In decent democracy appointment is not about ethnic group but about who can do the job perfectly and deliver the dividends of democracy to the people irrespective of your ethnic group. The question is, Should the President appoint unqualified and incompetent individuals as Ministers just to pacify Ethnic groups or should he appoint qualified and competent individuals irrespective of your ethnic group to deliver on his electoral promises? El-rufai is a cog in the wheel of progress of this nation who continues to think and see Nigeria as a national cake that all geo-political zones must be equally represented to have the largesse shared equally...

meine: And only death will stop GEJ from flogging you again in 2015 Mr Buhari.

I campaigned for this man at the last election and am not a PDP apologist but I hate it when people blindly pursue ambition to the point of obsession. My arguement is what has this man learnt from the past elections to boost his chances in 2015?. Has he built new coalitions in the south east and west for the next election? At least 2015 proved that the core north can not singlehandedly make a president. Has he raised more funds to outspend GEJ in 2015? How many campaign offices has buhari opened in the south east and south south? Has he found answers to why he lost most northern states where he was supposed to be comfortable? Questions and questions everywhere.

Honestly, I will slap anybody that bring sai buhari idea to me this time around. Mi o raye iranu nitemi.I will rather sit out the 2015 election if the opposition can't find a better candidate. Hisses and walks out.

OsunOriginal: They are igbos with hatred running in their veins. Those guys must not be allowed near Aso Rock as president or VP.

They lack vision, moral and anything good but tribalism and all that means negatives including crime.

Anvaller: The problem I have with majority comment here is that u are spending more time castigating OBJ and little or no time looking into the reality of his statement. I think the wise thing should have been to examine the truth and consequences of his statement and concentrate on that. He himself did not categorically state that he is not part of the curse.

Why are we always not smart enough to place our priority right? If Tinubu told some truth... 4get that he steals, deal with the truth. If Atiku told some truth, forget that he steals and deal with the truth. By so doing, the truth they are telling will still come back to haunt them because truth is consistent but unfortunately, we are not.




He did not emphasize his exclusion, that means he left that area for u to judge by urself.

ayobase: Easy!
So fas so good, Obj is still my best president.

Everyone has his/her shortcomings!

OBJ indeed tried for Nigeria.

kunlesehan: hmmmm ... the country is cursed; and you lived
this long to utter such gibberish?
Naaah this news must be fake. All farmers are
wise not to talk of a newly born again one at
that ... lol
.
Nigeria, my fatherland, may God bless those who
bless you, and cursed be those who curse you.
.
long live nairaland!
long live Nigeria!!

Melancholy: Akande note this,PDP is the problem not GEJ

US-DRONE:
sir, with due respect, how are we (Nigerians) sure you are not saying these things out of your own personal and selfish intereset? You said you had two meetings with him since 2011, How are we sure the meeting Agenda is not for some personal contracts or political appointments? You are an Elder for goodness sake, you've just critisized our sitting President without comming up with suggestions that could bring solutions to our current predicaments as a nation. We already know we have numerous problems which affects almost all sectors within the Nation but the last thing we need now is destructive criticism. We need SOLUTION Baba, Good SUGGESTIONS Baba, Elderly ADVICE Baba. Haba Baba, see Nigeria as your family where you are at the top, look down from above and find solution for your children. AVIOD CONDEMNATION

Maxymilliano: ~Referring to a sitting President as"kindergarten" reduces the opposition to even less... And I recall Akande, inviting the "kindergarten" President to join his party.

I think that is very illustrative of the type and calibre of people who populate APC.~

Chomzy19: my dear u must really b a babe @ politics, d truth ke? Frm El rufai, El rufai is nt tellin either nigerians or Gej d truth, El rufai is only furtherin his political interests n that of his party, if u blive for evn one second dt his aim is to probe GEJ n bring accountability to nigerians, fink again? His ideaologies n principles change as his interest does, u can trace his words frm jst his tym as a minister till date u'll find out exactly hw his words re inconsistent.
