Gerrard59: If Nigeria does not divide before 2050, I see the country being Islamised because when newspapers mention "...the largely Christian South...", they forget that there is an almost (if not to the Muslim favour) 50/50 religion divide in the South West. Which means the vast majority of Nigeria's Christians are in Eastern Nigeria. Add this to the negligible and almost dying Christian population in Northern Nigeria, you will see that Nigeria will soon have a huge Muslim majority and by then, you know what that means.
This has been their plan and they luckily had Buhari, a known bigot, to push it. The South isnt united; the Christians are still struggling with unity. If States like Plateau can line up behind Buhari and elect a Buhari and APC in 2015, in a Plateau State where they have tried colonising Jos North for years with violence, then they are not ready.
Taraba where the governor is a weakling or Southern Kaduna which has been under siege from the dwarf of a governor who chose a Muslim as his deputy, departing from the tradition of Muslim-Christian governor/deputy governor or Gombe where in a predominately Christian village, the Fulani governor imposed a traditional ruler who is a Muslim against the people's will. Same Gombe where a woman was denied a position not because she was not qualified but because she is a Christian or Benue whose governor escaped by the whiskers when he headed to his farm only for a Fulani militia to be behind the ordeal or Plateau state where the current deputy speaker of the House of Representatives is a Muslim - something which did not happen before. Same man is from a region that was predominately Christian during the '60s only to be dominated by Fulanis and whose governor is a modern day Judas and traitor? Or Nasarawa/Adamawa where the Christian population has been subdued and made economically and politically redundant?
One day Northern Nigerian Christian will learn that they have a choice between their lives and lands, both of which can be lost but only one of which can be saved. If not, they become Sub-Saharan Yazidis.
onuman: The Bill can easily be passed. Even Sharia criminal justice system can easily be included in the 1999 constitution. Because the new 36 states and Abuja political structure created by northern military dictators makes Arewa representatives over populate the National Assembly. Land mass or population is never used as criterion to proliferate too many states in an area with larger land mass or population, in a country formed by different regions. There should have been equal number of states for the three regions that formed Nigeria.
The political structure can no longer be changed in the National Assembly.
Split of Nigeria into more manageable countries is the only answer now, after all, Arewa political and religious leaders had since carved the boundary of their Arewa Islamic Sharia Republic when they adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal justice system, but Arewa gets stuck to one Nigeria because of lucre.
This is where Benue, Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau and other Christian legislators from Gombe, Nassarawa, Southern Kaduna should show where they stand.
kutashi: The bill that's almost done! It will sail through either you like or not! A simple voice vote will finish your Mumu representative you called Christian! Because they all worship money and your church is a biz venture while christianity is just a membership slang!
Mumu people! All You know is to shout, create problems and pretend! The whole editorial is bullshit! A one sided editorial!
blazepascal: When it comes to relationships or picking a partner for marriage, most Nigerians have a long list of preferences and what they want their spouses to possess in order to make a perfect partner.
Men have want their women to be respectful, beautiful, caring, bold and hard-working before they can consider them as "wife materials". This ideology often make some men to be too selective and usually end up being single even in their forties.
What about the women? Nigerian girls are very complicated people and their idea of an "ideal" husband might depend on age.
A teenage girl or one in her early twenties would want a fun guy, the party type that would take her places to have fun on weekends. Any guy that behaves like a husband to a girl of these age bracket will surely be disappointed as her lifestyle and mentality might be too over-whelming for him. These kinds of ladies prefer play boys and fun lovers at the moment.
Since we're talking about ladies who are choosing the kind of men they want to spend the rest of their lives with, let's get down to the point.
What do ladies mean when they say they want a "God-fearing" man?
First let's describe who a God-fearing man is. A person who is God-fearing is an overly religious person who sees nothing more important than his relationship with God. These people are try to live as holy as they can and often times, treats all people with love and respect equally. These kind of people don't lay much emphasis on romance or being a "great husband" and treat their spouses equally with the way they treat other people outside.
Now, with the above description is there any Nigerian woman that would want that kind of man? Many would cringe at the mere idea of marrying a pastor so as not to appear wearing gowns that they wouldn't normally wear.
No Nigerian woman would want to share her husband's love and affection with anyone and clearly, intimacy is a vital ingredient in marriage that must be shown as often as possible so as to keep the bond strong.
Some Nigerian women would likely cheat or even loath on her "God-fearing" husband because well, that isn't what she had hoped for.
So in summary, what people actually mean when they tell you that they want a "God-fearing man" is actually "I want a Good man''.
"I don't want someone who's too religious".
So the question is, why do we say one thing and mean another?.
They actually mean they want a man who they will be fornicating with, who wouldnt fornicate with others and who will be, at least materially and emotionally, their own. Once a proper God-fearing man comes to them, they will say, "dont you think this God thing is too serious?"
I wonder what all his PR minions and apologists especially on Twitter and ClubHouse who have defended the 50 million youths nonsense would say now. Foo.olish & hungry Nigerian Youths.
Is it the force of Boko Haram bullet that carries him up like that as if he's sumersaulting ?
Your people up north sowed this seed, and the seed germinated and grows to be a big wild tree that can't be trim, everyone in the country has been affected by the evil fruit produced by this wild tree, but I thank God it's the north that feel the negative impact of this evil fruit produced by this wild tree they planted. Your people obviously failed you bro.
Idiotic useless Boko haram terrorists has been killing my brothers from south, your death really makes no difference.
Rest in peace.
To those nursing the ambition of joining the Nigeria army, especially those from south. My advice to you all is, kill and bury such ambition as it does no one any good. You dont deserve to die for a country who careless about you, but pampers and protect terrorists , flying them around the world and paying them heavily. Used your head brothers.
The dead soldier is a Northern Christian. Believe me, he and other Northern Christians are as victims as you and others in the South are.
According to them,”Mr President must ignore every sectional, regional, tribal and religious sentiments and go for the best hands that can do this job of securing our country.”
The exact thing they want Buhari to avoid is the exact thing he is intrinsically incapable of avoiding.
How long did it take you to get a good job after GRADUATION and NYSC?
If you have a story or words of encouragement you can feel free to drop it too.
Mine was immediately. Then moved from there and served (NYSC) in a great place. Then was retained there. Then went for a Masters in the States. Continued with a PhD in the US.
1. It was purely God's mercies and grace. 2. When it comes to miracles, God doesnt function in a space- that is magic. He told Moses, "what do you have in your hands?" The word came to the widow, "go and borrow vessels; borrow not a few". She had small oil too. I had quite a few "things" in my hands, by His grace. 3. I was very proactive and never said no to anything assignment or task.

Juliusmalema: I totally disagree with Oyedepo on this..
Muslim students can wear their hijab to school. This is a northern states for that matter and northerners are known Muslims with little Christian faith.
Why then will you advise them not to wear hijab in a muslim controlled territory..
It is their faith,norm and lifestyle...
As far it is north, they can wear it.
Hishbah should immediately step in and enforce the rules
Go and tell Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists to step in and enforce the rules in a Christian Missionary School.
Build your own Ansar Udeen Secondary Mission School and wear whatever you want to wear. How can you come to a Baptist Mission school and tell them what the students should wear?
Draslo: I'm not going to bore you with an epistle.
We dated between 2016-17. We had a mutual break-up cause I went to Ghana for a bit (5 months. I needed a change of scenery). We spoke and chatted at intervals before we both ghosted each other. I heard she got married to a big shot Abuja guy in 2019.
Fast forward to Saturday evening this past weekend, I got a message on Instagram from her. Long story short, she opened a beauty spa in Abuja in December. She wants me to help her manage it. She knows I have my commitments in Lagos but wants to take advantage of the fact that I visit Abuja once or twice a month. She proposes that I can come only on weekends since my weekdays are almost fully engaged, ensure her books are balanced and she'll pay for my return flight every Friday. I asked if her husband is aware of who I am. She stuttered and I just knew he doesn't. She will pay well but it's not about the money. It's more like granting a favour but I feel she's got an ulterior motive somewhere. And me, I have a soft spot for her and my flesh is very, very weak.
Do you think I'm right? Or maybe I'm just being paranoid?
Modified. I'm sorry to say but many of you reason like kids. I have no intention of sleeping with her. I'm principled never to sleep with any of my exes. Do you have any idea how many women are on this planet? What is wrong with the lot of you? I just find it hard to turn her down because she's such a good person.
It will end in adultery. Let us not pretend to ourselves. If you want the adultery, jump in. If you dont want, run away.

The former President's Senior Advisor, Jason Miller in an interview weekend, stated Trump will "redefine the game" by returning to Social Media "with his own platform."
Facebook and soon, Twitter, will have to bring President Trump back sooner or later. For the following reasons. 1. Their ads, revenue and engagement are falling and failing. The numbers are pretty clear on it. 2. Biden cannot drive such engagement and revenue because of (a) it is Biden and (b) the Tech Giants, the media and their friends in Washington have prevented him from a Trump-like scrutiny. 3. If and when Trump builds his own platform, the revenue and engagement on Facebook and Twitter will fall further and they will have more inactive and docile accounts as Trump's massive supporters will jump ship.
It is always about the numbers, numbers and numbers.
jesse8048: Good, let them feel what the helpless masses feel everyday. As for the herdsmen and bandits, na one day everyone go remember una and settle this once and for all.
Your emotions wont let you realise that you need "strong men" on your side to battle another, government-sponsored strong man and give them the heat. If they take out Ortom, asides your emotions which will be tingled for 3-5 minutes, you realise that it makes the ordinary man especially in Benue more susceptible to Herdsmen attacks?
