Afam4evaIsASlut: Umm...sooo.... if you... em

Damn, how do I say this without sounding mean? Ok. here goes....

IF YOU WERE ONE OF THOSE THAT VOTED GEJ INTO OFFICE, PLS LETS SEE YOU RAISE YOUR HAND!!!

MAYOWAAK: I received with nostalgia and disbelieve the news of grant of pardon to Mr. Diepriye Alamaseigha among some other Nigerians Including some that are dead by President Goodluck Jonathan. I wish to condemn said pardon to Alamaseigha and the tactics of Mr. President in using some living and dead notable Nigerians as a cover up and camouflage to grant someone that he once described as his "godfather" and "benefactor" an undeserved pardon.

Nigerians will recall that while others in the list were sentenced and jailed by Military Tribunal where rule of law was not observed for offences that were alleged to be a "set up", Alamaisiegha was convicted for clear case of corruption by a competent court of Law where he had the opportunity to defend himself through 6 Senior Advocates of Nigeria.

The action of Mr. President in granting pardon to his godfather, mentor and benefactor is not propelled by nationalism or good conscience but ethnic parochialism and jingoism, hence the absence of a name like Tafa Balogun, the former Police IG and a fellow corruption convict like the "Generalizimo of Ijaw Nation" from that list. This phantom pardon has further demonstrated that President Jonathan is only paying leap service to the issue of fighting corruption in Nigeria and should not be taken serious henceforth. In this era when it is very difficult to put on trial and convict anyone for corruption due to the cumbersomeness of our legal system, it is very unfortunate that our President who made fighting of corruption as part of his campaign manifestos has committed "official jail break" by this singular act of pardon to a man convicted of stealing Bayelsa State dry! It is a calculated step
of clearing way for President's God father to go to the Senate in 2015.

Let it be known to the whole world that Council of State have no power to grant pardon but it is the exclusive power of the President to be done with (mere) consultation with the Council of State under Section 175(1-3) of the 1999 Constitution as amended in 2011 and that was exactly what happened this afternoon. This is definitely not from Council of State but a sole action of Mr. President with mere consultation with Council of State as the Council made up of Nigerians of high integrity would not have granted this kind of pardon ordinarily and simpliciter!

Let us all rise up to defend our country as we have no other place to go. Let us condemn this pardon of Alamaisiegha in totality. We must put an end to corruption now!

tatosh: This gold wrist watch was given to GEJ by David Mark with public funds. Just when u think you've seen the worst of this governments waste, there is always something worse.
This is the worst and most wasteful government since the inception of the entity called Nigeria. Least we can do is vote them out come 2015

PointB: What kind of crap is this. So the INEC should refuse to consider a party which has sent it's applications, and choose rather to wait for people who are still fighting over logos and colors? Why do some of you folks have a warped sense of justice? Why is it only right when it favours you?

Guy,
Let me put it this way, All Progressive Congress has not applied for registration, but African Peoples Congress has. Please advice INEC.

OYINBOGOJU: If only you read through,you will have something to say.

ewet: What special thing did your GEJ do in visiting Borno. Tell us one special thng the visit will do to solve these por peoples problem. The APC guys were there before him with far less funfair. If i had 1/2 the security tht fool had i will stay in maiduguri for a year and make sure this insurgence ends. The idiot only went there to smile at people tht either hav some1 dead our waiting to be killed themselves by almighty BOKO.
GEJ is dumb dumb dumb dumb . The guy dey vex me.

Wadosky: I come in peace,
What if the wine Jesus made was just a fruit juice or non alcoholic beverage like eva wine?

Don Demu: Guys we really need not to focus on this justyaxx. We wrote the NIMC test together with him in minna and this is someone who is nothing but some 25yr old complete aboki ajebo with "straight outta New York" slangs. He is even begging and hoping his family will allow him work because it was obvious he can sit his arse home lounging on d family's stolen wealth. Even on d exams day he forgot his exam slip at the hotel and had to send for it, so am not suprised that he dsnt evn knw d position he applied for. Just a spoilt brat who is here to insult us as he did by coming to NIMC test center with a GMC Envoy with spinners and a personal guard. Money miss road.... Mtcheeww

hillsate: Guys, am not holding brief for the president. He has disappointed me severally in matters that he should have risen as the president. I am not his supporter.
But that does not mean that when he does something that seems plausible he should not be commended.

For guys that are calling this irresponsible or irrational statement, I bet you that you do not know the drama, the intrigues that surround Boko haram and the Borno elders. For Jonathan to summon up courage and give it to the elders in black and white is something that should be commended. The elders have been making a lot of noise about the withdrawal of JTF from Borno yet cannot guarantee that bombs will not go off. They are more concerned with the people that die as a result of JTF action but never bothered about the people that die from the havoc of boko haram. They have never for once condemned the actions of Boko Haram but are quick to talk about JTF action. They are even asking for amnesty for boko haram in support of Sultan of Sokoto.

Here is GEJ again
“[size=15pt]The Boko Haram insurgency is reducing gradually in states like Bauchi, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe and Niger among others, but in Borno State the situation is increasing. It is unfortunate, and this is because you the elders refused to come out and condemn the activities of the sect who are your children. This is not a time to be playing to the gallery,” the President stated.[/size]

m.k.o2005:
It is good to give money to the less privileges but that is not tithe. The tithe is to take to the house of God so there will be plenty there as we have it today but only that some people say that the plenty in church is not for plenty people(not going round) but for few in the house of God.Only God knows this one.Or you can be like some other who say they dnt pay tithe at all becos it is only an old testament instruction. But sse below the words of Jesus to the Pharisees who only want to pay tithe and not listen to the less privileges or attend to their needs:
[b]"What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.''LUKE 11:42. You see why i say you must do both to be in God's good book! It is good to tithe if you understand it and also good to give to the poor !
God bless us

shadrach77: okay. I was misquoting the bible, abi? What about the scripture below? Was it also talking about God and Man ?

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. - 2 Corinthians 9:6 (KJV)

Bidam: Jesus was made poor so that tru His poverty we might be rich..He said i wish above all things dat thou mayest prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.(3 john2).

Bidam: ..Thank u sir! By sayin Adeboye has affected millions of lives through the gospel of Christ been preached u call me ignorant u and ur future generations be d judge.

teskyg: He is a Yoruba guy.They are dullard like TESKYG . . .

KINGwax: Our problem in nigeria is d lack of education. If d law was passed, it won't mean some organizations can't owe, even legally tru by-laws. All they got to do is create a clause in their appointment letter and they can owe up to a month!!

mummy3: i dont think you are born again at all, so my dear dont judge any body so that you will not be judge.

mabell: somebody asked for firstfruits in the new testament

Ro 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Ro 16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
1Co 15:20 ¶ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1Co 16:15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
Jas 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Re 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. {redeemed: Gr. bought}
(KJV)

you can study for yourself

mabell: Everybody is just against Pastors forgetting that they are not the originators of the first fruits
The first fruits started in the bible days,even now and not even in the days of Jesus

Ex 23:19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
Le 2:14 And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.
Le 23:17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
Pr 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

God gave specifications through his prophets, that's to show you the importance of the first fruit and he specifically stated that it should be given to the prophet, so, which one is your own about giving to the pastor or the pastor asking for it. If the pastor can talk about any other subject, how much more about the firstfruits.
I'm not aware he forces anybody to give, it is a thing of choice in as much as God demands for it.
Any bible believing church should preach firstfruits
I give my firstfruits, it is not the first or second and neither will it be the last
It is my money remember
At this point i have read it in the bible with my two eyes so it is not whether pastor says so or not, i just give it
abi the bible na lie!

daylae: well, the power projects were on even before yaadua's presidency,jonathan shouldn't take all the credit.

Omen100: If Jesus criticizes Jonathan's govt, Maku/Abati/Okupe will say he slept with Mary Madgalene.”
THE POST ABOVE WAS NO T AUTHORED BY NASIRU EL-RUFAI, BUT EMULATED FROM THE TWEET ACCOUNT CALLED ZEBBOOK, SO BIGOTS TRYING TO GAIN ATTENTION SHOULD PLS ASK ZEBBOOK BEING THE AUTHOR!
How many postings have been shared or retweeted by all of us, why leaving the author who is very popular on twitter to attack someone different, you want to stir up religious and political crisis out of your selfish motives. Go back to your sponsors and tell them, it has fail.

cyril83: including you biggot

onye ego: Who collected the bride price of Eve in the bible?
Or is Eve not Adams wife?

I agree that one must pay the dowry but its doesn't prove anything before God.
Whether you pay or not, as long as you sleep with each other, you have become man and wife.

oloto: Please, let's be careful about the way we abuse d men of God. If you don't like their message, free them. Its is better for us not to judge that we ourselves might not be judged. Remember, His word says that we shouldn't touch His annointed. Moreover, if pastors preach God's word for their personal gain, it is still Gods word. Not your own. So, let Him deal with them himself.

festguy: despite debunking d rumour of recruitment.pls is there any list/name being compiled again?pls let me know.

kunletiwoo: A 'Lovepeddler' may pay Tithe, buh it's as good as fetching water in a basket. Cos you can't place 'something' on 'nothing' and aspect it to stand.
