The calculation of the APC is not just to sensitize the Yoruba ethnic group but to also block President Jonathan's move around southwest. Two major areas are no longer free, first, the religion way and then the Awolowo political dynasty.
By the time Fashola leads him to Ondo and Ekiti and presenting him as the choice that will work, then he may have capped up his 60% required votes from the southwest.
Like I said GMB will most probably win at least 70% of any state in the North except Plateau and Benue and have a total of about 60% from the southwest.

I think people are missing alot in this case.President Jonathan has alienated the Yoruba in his government under the captain Okonjo Iweala who believed that Igbo has the best and only professionals that can run the economy yet they are leading the country into obvious destruction.Obasanjo, a Yoruba man,like him or hate him,never did that.
I don't know who will lead GEJ campaign in the southwest may be a new face in Agbaje,a controversial Fayose whose popularity is within Ekiti borders or Mimiko whose popularity has waned since moving into PDP.
Compare that to Fashola leading a campaign with stories of achievements to tell, Aregbesola, Amosun, Ajumobi, they will simply refer to what they have done.
Let me tell you, even though Fayemi was voted out in Ekiti, the civil service conspiracy won't work for Jonathan because there is nothing the government of GEJ had done in the southwest that will form the basis of his campaign.
it is God that give power, but from the look of things, I don't think GEJ will win 40%vote in the southwest and you can't blame the people whose ethnic group form the single largest in sub Sahara Africa to be alienated and abused by hired persons and be expected to return the same man.
I pity youths leaning on religion to determine who becomes a President, a true Christian won't permit corruption or impunity because God is light.
The North, may be with exception of Benue and Plateau will likely go with GMB, FCT is shared and may be up to 60% of SW will also vote for him.Buhari may not be the better administrator at this time,but is there an alternative to the current government for Nigerians? its Buhari as things look.
I will both GEJ and GMB best of luck but more so Nigerians in this new year.

Eziachi:
Why didn't he declare his support for Jonathan? Himself and Babangida Aliyu both has presidential ambitions. They both worked hard for GEJ in 2011, in the hope that Jonathan will keep to his words of not running in 2015.
When Jonathan changed his mind, they were left to dangle and showed interest with APC, when they realized that Buhari will run again, they decided to stay put in PDP but no support for Jonathan.

So the candidacy of Buhari to the two is a clog to their future aspirations. That is why Aliyu said in 2011; that Buhari presidency can mean exile for many of the northern elite like him. The are the people that engineered the riots of 2011.

He needs to stop Buhari eventhough he cannot bring himself to support Jonathan either, because any Buhari momentum can easily sweep his legacy and base away in Jigawa against any future aspirations.
Jonathan should be watchful of him. He is a very unreliable man you cannot trust. One of the first SDP leaders in 1993 along with Aneni and Jakande to not only abandoned June 12 within days but jump into Abacha government as a minister and declared the annulment as an act of God to the surprise of everybody.

Quite incisive.i think you have a reasonably deep knowledge of Nigeria politics.its a matter of interests.

Thanks @op for this piece.
Can you please give us the breakdown of the recurrent expenditure by percentage?
To make it more comprehensible,we will also need you to do a little more,just compare it with income and expenditure during the last five years of Obasanjo so as to make it clearer to people on who to support in coming elections.
If Capital expenditure is 9% in 2015 and oil stays below $60 a barrel it means apart from borrowing to fill the income gap of proposed $5 a barrel shortage, all the promises the President GEJ is offering Nigerians won't be fulfilled because even if he sincerely want to do them,there won't be money to do them.
please give us allocation by value and percentages to
The Presidency
National Assembly
Civil servants salaries
Civil servants trainings and developments
Fighting insurgency I.e BH
Niger Delta Amnesty program
Sure P
The future of this country is in question if the current system should continue
Thank you.

Politics and religion co-exist from time immemorial whether in the Bible,Quoran, or African traditional religion.
I think the RCCG has debunked any link with any political party or candidate and that is suffice for all that the church is not a political body but a spiritual one and members of the church belong to various political thinking.
We must know however that church members and pastors are free citizens of Nigeria and have the right to support their own candidates of choice and because pastors are spiritual leaders they must not vote or be voted for?
I think the current political leaders have introduced religion into our politics more than at anytime of the country's history and sincerely speaking, I feel now that it seems not to be working on their favor some if their wards are here to condemn pastors and church leaders that speak politics on the pulpit meanwhile the way we bother God on poverty in our society would have be less if politicians have done the right thing to develop the country.Now that a pastor talked about change you shouldn't be enraged.
David, Oduduwa, Al-Sauud family,Pope, Queen Elizabeth, Sultan etc are both religious and political leaders.

This estimate base a barrel at $78 but its today $68 a barrel it means landing cost would be much lower.However,if Naira continues to fall against the dollar the benefit may be eroded as government may be looking at raising other taxes to shore up its purse.
Also, reduction in the ports/financing cost and marginal reduction in the storage and sales process can bring the price lower to like =N=105 per litre while Government should be ready to also up minimum wage to like =N=20,000.00 and see that such is replicated in the private sector.

However, any ,high ,increase in crude oil price will trigger heavy economic tolls on consumers and just like the SURE -P, government programs in alleviating consequent poverty will most probably fail.

I am of the opinion that government need to keep our refineries working at at least 80% capacity while at least two more should be built around Lagos but as you and I know, government is never serious about development, its officials are busy playing politics.

To win an election you need a candidate that is sellable which is determined by socio economic condition of the country at the time of election.
Lets look at the situation with Nigeria;which sector has really been transformed in the past six years? for advocates of GEJ am not against you but I need to know the sector that has been transformed in Nigeria that make GEJ deserves another 4years. There are more news of billions of dollars and naira missing and bombings than new factories opening and economic successes. So GEJ till 2019 because of what and what achievements?
To the supporters of Buhari am not against you but I do not see this general as an economic manager and that's why he needs a strong deputy who can handle economic issues well. I see one thing in Buhari succeeding GEJ to at least to tackle corruption and impunity which threaten our very existence today.
Buhari may have been labeled an Islamist et al but his own frugal lifestyle bears him witness that he can be depended on to checkmate wastages.
Coming up with Professor Osinbajo is a joker and can be criticized till tomorrow.Checking his resume against that od VP Sambo showed a man of experience and extraordinary character.He is brilliant, articulate, a God fearing man and well exposed.He will be standing to represent the Christian community in Nigeria and shut the mouth of the religious bigots.
I will consider my vote for him not because he is a pastor of RCCG but because he is a good man with capacity to deliver beyong what is being done by GEJ.

Yeah this is an amazing stuff to hear.You didn't just attend school but showed a justification for such investments your parents made in you.This is education and am so excited about it.
congrats and I wish governments will take interest in this as it can help to tackle terrorism and monitor Tompolo war ships if developed in bigger capacity more so its usefulness in disaster monitoring and in area of agriculture.Thumbs up

Look really nice to see this in the city.I will advise the government of the state to consider having like 4 more of this and encourage more 3 to 5 star hotels while more roads within the city be made to dual carriage.
ibadan is good for business and its home to poultry farmers who are doing well.Life in ibadan is good and with =N=80,000.00 a month income you will live a very decent life

I expect oil price to be as low as $50 irrespective of growth in the Chinese market or India. Remember China is looking at Russia and will still renegotiate the last deal they had, the Chinese are opportunist and do not believe in an orderly business manner so their business approach is erratic.
There is one gold mine Nigeria has but its the hard way and two approaches to it;
To decentralize power to regional government in an autonomous political system such that VAT and proceeds from resources exports can be shared 50-50.
This model is hard but will eventually pay off in the long term.
The other hard way will also be two in one; focus on recovering over $200billion from corrupt leaders dead or alive and business elites that have milked the country dry from Local government officials to past presidents and their cronies but such wealth is better distributed across regional lines as well.
United States has found solution to ways of being more influential in the global sphere and bringing Arabs and Russia to their kneels. Russia especially is meant to fill the pinch alot as waves of oil prices will keep nose diving till OPEC cut their outputs and the greedy Arabs who feel they can speed up their diversifications quickly so as to be free from their oil chains.This has made them rather insensitive to the plight of Africans who are in need of these monies.
FDI in Nigeria will also be affected as investors confidence in oil sector will drop and let me just chip in this secret, the value of the Niger Delta will decrease and foreign support in case of civil war will be minimal because the burden the region will pose will be enormous and intra tribal conflict can bring prolonged war.
Now where is the next stop for investors in Nigeria? Its simple, consumer products and so investors will look at areas of real growth unlike the energy sector which Madam Okonjo Ngozi has been harping on which has not translated to growth in other critical sectors.
Oil price will also fall and domestic market will become important as a means of growing the economy as government turn to tax and levies as means of income.
Overall, this is good for Nigeria but may be not all parts because security may become serious issues in determining where FDI will go even local investors and you can look at few places like Lagos and environ and maybe Abuja if Boko Haram is addressed.
What is the bottom line, the federal government has to free itself of attaching too much to itself, pursue political restructuring and achieve stability.

I was amazed yesterday to see the Finance minister stepped in after the national anthem has been recited and the President already seated during the honoring of top 100 companies in Nigeria.I keep wondering if this woman is the de facto president or the person in charge.
The president may have surrendered the running of government to her as the chief operations executive, now what that mean is that nothing happens without her consent, this means that Nigeria is in the grip of three women at the same time; herself(controlling finance and the economy and probably appointments into all finance related offices), Patience Jonathan(in charge of political issues-Rivers state is an example) and Allison Maduekwe (in charge of energy).
Surrendering the position of the President to parochial interests and emotional creatures within the current political climate is tantamount to destructive politics as its being witnessed today.I hope Nigeria can have a more proactive and serious leaders with eye on building a prosperous democratic republic.

So they have successfully passed the inflationary cost on the populace. Since we so much rely on importation and government would not bring down its excise duty on goods Nigerians will have to pay more but come to think of it, its the value of petrol and diesel should remain the same at 97 naira a litre when oil price has nose dived? Government need to cut its recurrent expenditures and excesses,meh we are an exporting economy this would have been a good news but for me, nah its bad.

Nice one

Its quite easy to wave this piece with the back of the hand more so considering the divergence in aims of these two groups but to claim the western secret services are ignorants is itself a primary foolishness.They are more proactive and try to do their links.The truth is terrorist groups are linked all over the world whether directly or indirectly and Asari's conversion to Islam and his purported training of some boys in his university in Benin as a social responsibility are questionable.Come to think of it, where did Asari&Co got their tactical training from?why did he convert to Islam and began to see Al Qaeda as freedom fighter?
Obviously, a larger chunk of commentators on this forum are youths and many lack in depth understanding of realities .Dismissing this as impossible is childish.
If Asari converted to Islam he may have met with some Islamist and maintain close connection with them so this story cannot be dismissed

Either regionalization or outright independence will favor the Yoruba. Such country must be prepared however to include some minority groups as the Itsekiri from Delta, Ebira and Igala from Kogi, Tapa(Nupe) and Bariba from Kwara,the Edos and may be even the Urhobo.
The Yoruba country will be a good place, a multireligious society with booming Pentecostal Christianity,moderate Islam, innovating traditional religious groups and loads if free thinkers! It will be an epitome of parliamentary democracy with semi autonomous regions in which the right of minorities are guaranteed.
it will have a population in excess of 60million, vast agricultural land, existing commerce infrastructures in Lagos and a handshake across the Niger River to make its ports world class.
it won't enjoy a total break from the past as millions of Igbo will reside there from the tip of Anambra in the Igalaland to Lagos, many of Igbos will call the nation home.
The country will face its challenges, the problem of Warri, boundary demarcation with the Igbo in Anambra, possible migration from the North and handling the migrant ijo that have made Ondo state home since 1950s.
The country will be a commonwealth of Yoruba-Benin-Igala history and will have half castes of zYoruba-Fulani in Ilorin and many Yoruba-Igbo families.
The challenge with France will also be there because of the Yoruba spread across its western frontier into Benin and Togo, there could be an ambition to wan a confederacy that will include the fairly prosperous regions of these countries, bringing them into Anglophone region won't go well with Paris but that will take a long while.
Economically,Lagos will be the center of commerce, industries in Ogun will remain ,oil and gas in Ondo and across its coast will come to the fore and its commonwealth will also include the energetic farmers from kogi, the rich culture of Benin, and the business acumen of the Ijebu.
There the heritage so talked can be kept and the culture of impunity so pervasive can be annihilated.

Am really moved to tears.why the world lose its good children so early.Rest well Pastor

If you are working pls go for anything that can advance your career in your chosen field or the one you envisaged.

These are the sort of topics I like to see on this forum instead of inter ethnic controversial topics. These will help the young ones take informed decisions about their educational pursuits,so responses should be matured and argued with facts.
Let me make a little contribution.Quite a number of factors determine the quality of university/polytechnic graduates,let me mention a few:
1. Good infrastructures
2.Good and experienced teachers
3.Good research programs
4.Deployments of technology and adaptation of latest techniques
5. Determination of students to succeed****which is a great factors.
6.How the institution improve the social and psychological developments of the student
Based on my years of experience, performances in the corporate sector and class contributions.
In general performance needed in corporate world which include working intuition, confidence, technology adaptation and matching skills, its not just about a first class(this is good majorly in engineering and medical sciences) but exceptional graduates may not necessarily be the most bookish.
I think Unilag graduates are confident and quite adaptable and any one that finish from that school with self determination will be good, I have good ones around me and the school leads in areas of business graduates alongside LBS.
UI and OAU grads are excellent as well while schools as Uniben,UNAD, LAUTECH and FUTA, FUTO,FUTMINNA are good as well.
The Polytechnic Ado,Ibadan, Bida and Yabatech are competitive as well.
Convenant and Babcock, RUN are new but their products are good at least based on practical experience.
I can bet that around 90s till like 97 graduate of some students that got admission into some states universities were exceptionally good because they were the ones that got between 170 and 198 when federal schools up their entry marks to 200 as conducted by research group in FUTA and so all those students went to state schools.
I have also met IMSU students that were good but some not too good.I think Kaduna polytechnic is also good.

For the benefit of young ones seeking admission, I want to offer my little contribution having read through most of these post here.
if am right, 'tough' means a university that will require a student to study hard in order to gain admission and actually graduate if eventually you get admitted.
However, the yardstick for the 'best' universities include;
1. The quality of its academic and research staff. This include well educated staff and experienced hands
2. The quality of infrastructures available to staff and students
3.The quality of its products, how graduates from the school perform on average in the corporate world and,or as entrepreneur
4. The generation of its products and contributions to sensitive areas of the economy
5. Impact of institutions in areas of research and developments in various sectors of of the country.
Tough therefore refers to such schools that require more efforts in studying in such schools.
Having said all these lets look at some institutions we can point at:
University of Ibadan: the premier university in Nigeria and has history on its side with seriously experienced staff and has produced loads of graduates that have impacted the nation, this is the same for OAU while Unilag leads in the corporate world for instance the first set of insurance &actuarial graduates of unilag are the top notch in the insurance industry today while UI has produced some of the beat doctors in Africa.Some of the best across various ethnic groups graduated from these schools.Of other qualities are regional powerhouses are Uniben, Unilorin,UNN and ABU. ABU has produced more politicians than any other school and have enjoyed more political patronage from the federal government than any other.its the best in the north and that's the position occupied by UNN in the East.The west seems to have more than one.
However, since another generation of universities came,many actually established without sufficient experienced staff and infrastructures but they have been doing well, we must mention institutions as FUTA, FUTMINNA, FUTO while some state universities are actually doing well like LAUTECT, EKSU(formerly UNAD) and LASU(medical courses) while Uniport and Unical fall within their category.
I hope this will help.

Obasajo was right as the reality of today is averse to single faith combination. There is always a time when the choice we make work for us and against us and that is what Fashola is experiencing, it worked for him to become Lagos Governor but may not work for him to become the Vice President, may be it will work for him later to become the president(go and need his interview when he turned 50 years)
Thant said, I think it is not wise to field muslim-muslim ticket at this period of islamic terrorism in Nigeria and with the kind of bad posture already given to the APC front runner it is better they step it down with a more serious, committed and sell-able christian deputy, may be Professor Osinbajo will do but preferably from the Eastern bloc of Yoruba country in order to claim that area from PDP.For GEJ to embark on a pilgrimage at this time its a serious political statement to the christian community especially the Middle Beltans who are still much into such beliefs.
Let the opposition party look for a credible christian with education and exposure and begin to market him seriously preferably from Ekiti or Ondo state who will be a technocrat that can be the minister for Economy and also manage BUHARI well.
Fielding any muslim -muslim ticket will create ill feeling among the christian though to be honest Fashola remains a world class presidential material.

@Deebrain

Interesting country. You are praying to God. You go to Israel. You are all suited up. Looking sweet. You bring in journalists and paparazzi. You make speeches and give awards. You make your prayers.
You bring the mentors, the best and the holy to pray with you. You have it all on tape.

You pray. Very sweetly. You pray to God to do the things He has actually told you to do. God is not silly. He knows your hearts and potentials. Ebola came, you conquered. That was something that would have wiped you away-but you took action and became responsible.

You do not need this tour. Go back home and treat employment and electricity the way you dealt with ebola, you gathering of hypocrites!


I was fortunate to be at the RCCG Holy Ghost service program the night President Jonathan knelt at the alter of God and was prayed for by the General Overseer, that was a great turning point in his political journey as election result would later revealed that most of the entire Christian community have voted him into power.it was left to him to work as the SON of God bearing in mind his own background story of poverty and lack, we were all hopeful for change. The president had many attributes shared with Jesus in terms of poor background, from a part of the country where mindset is averse to peaceful resolution of differences just like Christ was a Galilean.But Christ brought change to His nation and to the world! often in the company of the poor,and reaching out to all cadre of citizens, he was a friend at all times even to Zacheus but a repented Zacheus.
Jesus never negotiated with the devil,he cast out demons and money changers, he was a son of God in purity.
Now that its left for the president to go to Jesrusalem to pray, I hoe he will realize the gulf that exist between the alter(at Rccg) and the mount(Jerusalem),he is no longer the,same man,now he'd got loads of shoes and lots of money, his sphere has changed.
Unlike Jesus who whipped the money changers and cast out demons and rebuke the Pharisees and Sadducees, GEJ need to tell God on the mount how he has pardoned unrepentant criminals and even exalted some
MohammedAbacha, Al Mustapha, Ayo Fayose, Alameisegha, and all that have been accused of stealing and corruption, how Nigeria continues to be in the bad book in several cases that have denied the poor of their basic needs: several multibillion naira and dollar cases like the pension scam,sure p, subsidy scams, NNPC scam and so on.
The man of God that prayed for Mr.President I believe did so through the auction of the spirit but Mr president backed off like biblical Demas!
In Jerusalem he will need to convince God that he's still a heir and at God's service.
I was so optimistic of his government at the election remembering that his clan has been at the forefront of getting reforms and compensation from the Nigeria state over exploitation of petroleum I thought he would exploit the weakness of the Nigeria system and its socio-cultural gaps to:
1. Seek autonomy for states or pursue autonomous regional structure
2. Pursue fiscal federalism in the new system so that Niger Delta can benefit from the oil incomes
3.lay solid foundation for minorities to aspire and occupy the highest positions in Nigeria
4. Revive our education system
5. Employ the media advantage that swept in into power and consolidate on middle belt -southern Nigerian partnership that swept him into power to checkmate the over bearing attitudes of the core north.
6. Pursue reforms of the judiciary
After 6years, my president has danced more to the side of keeping Nigerians waiting for another savior, he had failed millions that prayed for him that night and cannot justify why he should return to the office as President.
Remember Judas was also a chosen disciple, but he took the bread(God's provision) and dined with the devil. The president need to apologize to the church and install a new king , the time for David has come.

I know Ekiti may be a comparatively poor state and what the governor spent may be relatively high considering the economic status of the state. But to be honest, Fayemi is no longer in that place and its for Fayose to use. Beside, its not long that that those were completed and its a state property not Fayemi's. Taken that the amount is on the high side but the noise about it is out of proportion too.
Ok will Fayose and other incoming governors not use the place and sleep on those beds? All I see are insincere minds as if he was not the same man that had a fake poultry that OBJ commissioned. All these propaganda is to further gain cheap popularity and discredit his predecessor who also made reasonable contributions to the state.
I like Fayose for his popularity and grass root approach but he must understand that he also has skeletons in his cupboard just like all the politicians out there. i think that edifice is decent enough as a government place and the state cannot be planning of spending money on such project in another decade.
However, he should focus on helping that state with job creation and ensuring children attend schools. I pray for him to succeed and will only hope he wont allow 2015 election distract him cos all eyes are on him to succeed and alot of Ekiti have put their hope in him.

I watched Fayemi's defense of his administration on channels tv Sunday evening.
I actually knew what brought Fayose into the government house was the aversiveness of the states civil service(an overload of over 30,000) to change.Fayemi had employed a consulting firm to help confirm number,conduct knowledge test so he could effect reform.Civil servants(especially teachers and local government workers)became adamant and resisted, and eventually chose to vote Fayose as an escape route for them to keep their jobs including those who practically do nothing an would have been deployed to more useful sectors.
Fayose saw the gap, bloated it or of proportion and exploited the rural populace who were dependants on these civil servants by telling them Fayemi is another Fashola that will destroy their wards means of income through needless modernization.it worked because he failed to tell them how Lagos has benefited.
These civil servants became unofficial Fayose's campaign foot soldiers and the deal was done, Fayemi lost.
I doubt if Fayose could be telling the truth because if Ekiti should have such huge debt, Fayemi should be probed.Information provided on this debt seems explicit but politicians, you can never say never but Fayose could be worse with figures, may be he should provide us with his own breakdowns.
My fear is about the 50 billion difference, if Ekiti people should accept it it could just be the amount being planned to execute the stomach infrastructures of sharing Christmas chickens and foods distribution instead of engaging in human capacity building and economic empowerment.

I do not think APC will ever want to convince Nigerians to vote for such combination after all the labels of pro Islam tag PDP has put on it. Taken that Buhari is popular and fo them to wrestle power from PDP they need his popularity and millions of his foot soldiers, but it will be a death trap to field two Muslims in the coming election. This can sway votes in favor of GEJ and nail APC in the mud.As good as it may seem to the Yoruba to have a Muslim son not minding his religious leaning,it may back fire around middle belt states where Muslim elements are believed to be behind inter ethnic wars.
APC need a strong Christian to deputize Buhari and even occupy prominent seats in their government.
I think such a strong Christian should evn come from the Eastern part f the Yoruba nation who must be able to match the character of Idiagbon and whose mindset is proactive.
Buhari is honest and may likely be among the few incorruptible Nigerians but he needs loads of human resources around him that can help in building an economic team and serve Nigeria well which Buhari may not be able to do all by himself.
The much circulated proposal of RCCG pastor will give much credibility to Buhari candidature but if such were to come from say Ekiti or Ondo state, it will be a super winning formula in winning other elections in those states.

This is looking to me as a possibility of negotiation in returning Mr President to Aso Rock in 2015 and should he win Mohammed is being groomed for maybe 2019.
Remember Mohammed Abacha is also being touted as pursuing the same race in Kano and Al Mustapha is a free man.
The trend of breeding actors with characters in the south west : Fayose in Ekiti, Omisore in Osun, Bankole in Ogun, may be Akala again in Oyo and Obanikoro in Lagos.
so since Mr Presdent is bent on returning to Aso Rock he will have to negotiate with many powerful personalities and all these may just be the end results. If it is, Dr.GEJ may be laying a dangerous precedents.

It was really nice to see Ikeja that quiet today, everyone was conscious and been very careful, it should be pursued as a matter of policy for its capability of controlling behavior.That can be restricted to some areas.Really nice though I heard some horns like 4times altogether.

nora544:
Sorry what you write is not tru.

I can tell you from my country that most of the followers from this new african pentecost/charismatis churches are africans about 95% are africans who run to this churches.
A nigerian student has opend his own church in a student home in a two bed room, that is the church adress.
Your pastors what that you belief this.

I know why Oyedepo is not telling why he is not allowed to enter UK again it is about his witchhunting and he has problem with the money because his church is not working like the Uk non profit law is.

Adeboye was this year in main europa because every second year he is coming to visit one country and he was in poland normaly you see photos from this event but you didnot see photos from this poland event because only few people where there.

He told his stupid followers that he need the jet to spreed the gospel so to visit main europa every two years is very much I have to tell you and there are many countries so he is a big liar.

A whole part of the western world could not imagine Africans leading global brands whether in secular or spiritual, may be the coming of Obama started changing that and their press can castigate any such successfully persons who do not draw inspirations from their fathers or are partners with their wards as either incompetent or insane.God is no respecter of persons and He can use any man. That African or Nigerian pastors are building large organizations in a world that is increasingly Sodomized is a no surprise to me for your criticism, but you must bear in mind that religion had been a part of the African sphere and if we are not travelling to the moon or invent B2 spirit, we can work with the Holy Spirit to travel to heaven.
To those who see the church as opium,I know millions still want to drink in Africa.I have countless testimonies of what God has done in me through the church of Christ, those who consult doctors can tell you how much it cost them, I get my healings for free.if a student starts a church in his house,most churches started that way.if u are called by God, what a hell of respect do an ignorant deserve?
