President Buhari's daughter was already in that school way before he became President. So how is that Nigeria's money & how does that concern us?

Wailers trying so hard to tar the President with their corruption brush to show he's one of their kind. These days the tactics appears to be sponsoring articles in a British or American media to give their smear campaign some credibility. We know better! You guys should try something else.
I love Buhari's integrity, my only grouse with him is his bigotry in allowing herdsmen kill. I got tired of corruption which has denied me seeing Nigeria progress since I was born, that's why I supported him.

I thought they were not Nigerians! Idiotic Northerners!

No wonder Buhari refused to make any statement because he knew they were his people.

How can this be when Buhari allowed herdsmen to chase farmers away from their farms.

In any case, OBJ should respect himself and live his retirement in peace. He messed up this country.

S-Y-C-O-P-H-A-N-C-Y and at its worst!

This is the most irritating news I've read in a long time now. If this guy was Ojukwu he would have allowed the northerners to annihilate his people in exchange for political consideration.
Obviously, he is attempting to buy Buhari's favour to the detriment of his own people. Truly, Igbos are their own worst enemies.
O-D-I-E-G-W-U!

They will never go after the Fulani herdsmen, rather cattle rustlers who attack the herdsmen and steal their cows. Who are they deceiving? They are only after protecting the herdsmen.

My cousin who studied in the UK told me of many like you who had fantastic jobs in Oil companies but abandoned it to come pursue MSc in Scotland with the hope of returning back home to better offers, but couldn't even get any offers. A bird at hand is worth more than three in the bush. Stay with your good job cos many in Canada are dreaming of that your job and would relocate at any chance of it. My advice, apply for online MSc in British Universities and do with that. It's equally good.

Deceptive murderous Northerners!

When Buhari went to Ibadan many years ago to defend them, then they were Nigerians. Now they are killing people, they are no longer Nigerians.

The news they would kill was everywhere but Buhari did nothing. What does Buhari do after each massacre. He'll keep quiet! Not even condemnation. Because of public outcry, Garba Shehu tweeted condemnation after a whole day, not even the President. The same government that quickly condoled the Belgians but forced to do so in their own country. Talk about damage control. In saner climes, the President will address the nation, condemn the act, offer condolences and possibly resign along with heads of security agencies and be tried for criminal negligence, but not here.

Only a Mumu will believe these people are not Nigerians. The President's body language suggests silent conspiracy. We're watching!

Flexherbal:
This herdsmen isue is getting out of hand.
I wonder why the government has not done anything serious about it.

No it is not getting out of hand. It has gotten out of hand!

Super1Star:
You are all gradually coming back to the proposition of the Yorubas. We told you when you are all tired of call for secession, resource control and one Nigeria maxim, you will come back to Regional Integration as th only peaceful and viable alternative to this current wasteful, corrupt, inefficient structure that promotes mediocrity over excellence.

That is the only way forward, a smooth and peaceful path to final disintegration.

It will also bring unimaginable progress in all parts of the country as a whole, due to healthy or unhealthy competition.

At least we can have regional police that will protect us from the menace of the fulanis instead of hopelessly and endlessly waiting for the FG.

Not the Yorubas, rather Ojukwu first proposed it at the Aburi peace summit. Unfortunately, the Yorubas helped Gowon scuttle it only to realise their folly decades later and start calling for it. That was Ojukwu's first preference and was agreed at Aburi but when implementation failed, he had no option but to call for secession to protect his people from murderous Nigeria. A little googling of Aburi agreements will help you. Never too late though!

promise101:
Oh, because of your self-righteous, pharisee-like behaviour, you even went on to name church!

Please, sincerely reply this post with an answer to this question I am going to ask, if not, I am not going to take you serious; ARE YOU SINLESS PEFERCT? DOES GOD EXPECT SINLESS PERFECT RiGHT LIVING? If yes, NAME A SINGLE PERSON WHO LIVED UNDER SINLESS PERFECTION, except Jesus.

You're severely ignorant of what you are talking about. God can never befriend sin. No one preached grace in the Bible like the Apostle Paul, but what he says in

Galatians 5:19-21, "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness... Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God".

You may want to check Ephesians 5 also for further enlightenment, "But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you... "

You should have asked Paul if he was sinless when he made those comments. God cannot reduce his standards to accommodate your sexual escapades and fantasies.

Finally: If you want to follow Christ, follow him but if you still want sin, then the consequences are clear in Revelation "Lake of fire".

Please deal with your lust issues before they destroy you. The OP wants us to freely commit sin and do as if nothing happened. In order words, throw up scriptures to suppress Holy Spirit's convictions which pricks your conscience, a satanic recipe for disaster if you ask me.

Leeeekeeee:
Sense maker, as a matter of fact I will kill a thief if am opportune, afterall Jesus never discouraged the cruxification of the thieves on the cross..

You're truly evil, but evil always attracts evil. So don't be surprised at the things that happen in your life. Your heart is darkened.

A very wicked man indeed!

This same man that amputated the hand of this poor boy and his likes on Nairaland who are hailing his action would be the very same people who will be aggressively defending very corrupt thieving politicians. So, in the end, it's not about discouraging crime, but pure human wickedness.

Titus 2:11

For the grace of God which bringeth salvation hath appeared unto all men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world.

Grace is NEVER an excuse for free fornication. The OP's write up is a load of bullshit calculated to harden people's heart in a life of sin, a life of fucking and feeling alright. A sure way to hell fire! Christ Embassy doctrine...

M4gunners:
Say that in Nigeria, zombies will call you IPOB wailer.You guys should keep following around.

Why didn't you say it when GEJ was president for 6 years. He takes more of the blame for it than the man who has been there for just nearly 11 months. Your hypocrisy stinks so much so that you are wishing the same GEJ had continued till 2019, the darkness notwithstanding. People like you are the problem this country has

Thanks for engaging that little boy who knows nothing.

How can any sane person reject such a laudable project. They see everything Buhari tries to do for our people as wrong. Hate can drive people crazy.

Echi ha asi n'onweghi ihe Buhari mere anyi. These same silly little boys are the ones who will come out and defend lgbo politicians who receive Federal contracts on behalf of our people and siphon the money without anything on ground. If we desperately need a seaport, why can't our Governors take the initiative like Ayade & Akwa Ibom is doing?

Nonsense! Why are they so quick to investigate and name so-called IPOB killers but have never since the murderous sprees of herdsmen in this country named any one of them let alone prosecute them. The Fulani massacre entire villages, rape, pillage, destroy crops all over the country yet not one of them has ever, I repeat, ever been named.
How sure are we that this truly happened or is this the beginning of a campaign to hunt down and destroy IPOB youths. I have never been a supporter of IPOB but it appears there is one law for the Fulani and and another for the rest of the country.

todayboy:
Mr falana why did you want the government to try only public officials what about the business men like dangote and Theophilus danjuma who sponsored buhari election into power.

When you fight corruption by selecting only certain people you kill the essence

Is your father one of the thieves?

I can't understand why people like you don't want this country to be good. When corruption is being fought, you advance stupid reasons to discredit it. Just re-read your post. Should we then abandon the fight against corrupt persons because the people you want prosecuted are not in the docks just yet. Should everyone be brought to book at the same time so you can be convinced it is genuine? Do you know what it takes to bring one person to court let alone everyone of them? Do you know how many Nigerians, perhaps including you or your father, needs to face justice for stealing our commonwealth?

I wholeheartedly support PMB in his current effort and God willing, one by one all who stole will have their day, but good a thing, the journey has just begun.

akankemi1:
very useless thread. wonder y it made FP. magosh...get married first

Why are you particularly pained by the thread? Are you a contentious woman?

Please my Brothers from Anambra, your chest-beating each time there's good news from your state is descending to a disgraceful proportion. Try and be humble for once and stop being childish by blowing your trumpet to high heavens. Why not let others notice your progress and say great things about you rather than your brashness and infantile boastfulness. Some of you even put down people from fellow Igbo states on nairaland just so you can feel good about yourselves. Is that how you are going to run your so-called Biafra?

Vinshu:
My father, wasn't rich! I repeat! If you did not read, read it again:


Someone who could cater for 7 people conveniently, who never lacked anything, obviously, had a house and a car. I'm way smarter than you are. You cant prey on my intelligence. I am aware of what i've written and it doesnt change. You should read it again for better understanding.

Thanks

You know nothing about life Sweetheart! My advice is that you keep quiet and learn a bit more. You come across as someone who hasn't experienced the ups and downs of life on your own and if you do, one thing is sure, you'll be a lot humbler than your current mindset. Respect those who hustle in Nigeria cos if you are put in their shoes, you may not match them in achievements and if they are put in your shoes, you'll have cause to respect them a lot more. As for your write up, it's not entirely true.

charix:
Kill them all!

That is how you too will be killed! What makes you think that taking a life in the name of politics is justified. What you supported against this guy is what you will attract to yourself someday. Someone will look at you and feel you deserve to die because you don't belong to his party or agree with his beliefs and pull the trigger on you. Then idiots like you will pass stupid comments like yours above in support of your fate while you lie motionless. Don't think because this is social media you can support murder without consequences from God. Both you and the fool who pulled the trigger on this guy are the same. I know you have lost your conscience and belong to the devil already.

STFUand4kMeHARD:
APC incited it, now they are getting it. Ask Amaechi how far.

You're pure evil! You disgust, and people like you will one day meet the fate that you, by word or deed supported against others. Some call it Karma! You are definitely happy about the bloodshed as long as it is APC at the receiving end and not because human beings are dying. You are completely bereft of conscience and have lost your soul to the devil. The way you celebrate and feel that this guy deserves to die so gruesomely on account of the party he belongs to is the same way it will someday happen to you because someone does not agree with the party you belong to and then some idiot like you will come to nairaland and celebrate it and pass silly comments like yours over you. What you support is what you attract!

DauraDullard0:
Ogbonna, do you have any evidence to link Wike to this gruesome murder?

Useless human being! You're a heartless beast. This is all you have to say. You play politics with everything. What will Wike do before you condemn him. Those who support evil either in word or deed meet evil.

What does the Bible say?
“For the living know that they will die, but the dead know
nothing, . . . for there is no work or thought or
knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.”
—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, Revised Standard Version.
The Hebrew word Sheol, which referred to the “abode of
the dead,” is translated “hell” in some versions of the
Bible. What does this passage reveal about the condition
of the dead? Do they suffer in Sheol in order to atone for
their errors? No, for they “know nothing.” That is why the
patriarch Job, when suffering terribly because of a
severe illness, begged God: “Protect me in hell [Hebrew,
Sheol].” ( Job 14:13 ; Douay-Rheims Version ) What meaning
would his request have had if Sheol was a place of
eternal torment? Hell, in the Biblical sense, is simply the
common grave of mankind, where all activity has
ceased.
Is not this definition of hell more logical and in harmony
with Scripture? What crime, however horrible, could
cause a God of love to torture a person endlessly? ( 1
John 4:8 ) But if hellfire is a myth, what about heaven?
Compare these Bible verses: Psalm 146:3, 4; Acts 2:25-27;
Romans 6:7, 23

Recall the story of the rich man and Lazarus Luke 16:19-31. Didn't the Bible say that he, after death and being in torment asked Abraham for some drop of water? He also specifically said that he was in torment in the fire in vs 24.That tells you that you don't die and dissappear, there's a place of torment called hell.

Secondly, check Matthew 10:28. Jesus said, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in HELL.
Thirdly, Matthew 25:41, Then he will say to those on his left hand, "Depart from me, you cursed into the eternal FIRE prepared for the devil and his angels..."

STOP! deceiving people and STOP! being ANTI-CHRIST. If Jesus in the above scriptures tells us in no uncertain terms that there is hell, WHO ARE YOU TO CONTRADICT HIM?

Why are Nigerians this wicked & heartless especially those who comment on front page? I feel for the dead and his family but this is an accident and she has served some time. I personally wish it didn't happen and this Doctor is still alive to continue saving lives.

Many here who are chanting "crucify her" are far more reckless drivers than her only that they've been lucky so far. If she had done that deliberately, I would have wished she rotted in jail and if her going to jail will bring back the dead I would have approved it expressly. Many here who are wishing her jail are an envious lot who hate her for her celebrity status and her suffering gives them the pleasure they crave, not that they cared much for the dead. I pray those wishing her jail don't make the same mistake someday and meet what they wished her.

Skills10:
Pls, I want you to know that all what you have said about tithing is the truth. You are right. Christians should speak where the bible speaks and be silent where the bible is silent.

Study to show thyself approved unto God. A workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim 2: 15.

As a matter of fact, the first council in Christianity was in Acts 15: 1 to 24, where the apostles came together to consider the matter of Gentiles obeying the law of Moses. Peter and Paul with the rest of the apostles said Christians should not keep the law of Moses.

For all those Christians who pay tithe, you are only practising Judo-Christianity. Mixing the law of Moses with Christianity.

Gal 5:4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

What this passage say is that if you seek justification for an act of righteousness from the Old testament, Christ is of effect to you.

People are lazy to study the bible, and they will justify the teachings of the so called men of God.

Heb 7 : 1 - 28 tells us that Christ was from the tribe of Judah (and not of Levi, who receive the priesthood) and there is a change in the priesthood, there is also a change of the law.

Christians should not pay tithe.
The Apostles of Christ did not pay tithe.

For those talking about Matt 23:23, as at that time, Christ was not yet Crucified on the Cross and he was addressing the Pharisees and Scribes.

SUPER! I'm proud of your insight into the word of God. Many Pastors & likewise flock are copycats and bother less about studying the word for themselves. A prominent preacher just preaches some falsehood and all of them start copying the same message. You also forgot that Galatians 3:10 says that all who seek to be justified by the law are under the curse. Contrary to what Pastors preach, it is paying of tithes that brings the curses in the laws of moses. They are here on NL defending tithing but ask them to keep the sabbath and they will tell you it's old testament. The funny thing is that Pastors carefully imported tithing from Old testament and threw away all the other laws thereby making the people "guilty of all" as James 2:10 puts it. Have you ever read Deuteronomy 14:22-29? It will shock to notice that you & your family are the primary beneficiaries of tithes, then the Levites, Strangers Orphans and Widows. But again the Pastors never ever read that scripture in Church because it will open the eyes of the people. Instead they go to Malachi which by its context is a vague reference to the more detailed injunction in deuteronomy and claim everything for themselves abandoning all the other beneficiaries. Today when it suits them, they tell us we're royal priesthood, but once tithing is involved, they become the priests and we lay people. I wish the Church will understand that the Old testament law was abolished, Ephesians 2:15 along with the priesthood Hebrew 7:12. Christianity and Judaism are not the same. It emerged from there but they are different. If they were the same Christianity would not have been severely persecuted by Jews. Paul calls those attempting to go back to the laws of moses "foolish Galatians" and the advocates of such "bewitchers". Acts 15 deals sufficiently with that too. New covenant believers are only enjoined to bring forth the fruits of the Spirit and shun the works of the flesh in Galatians 5:19-22 and thats it. God help the Church because the indoctrination is too deep that when you try to help people understand the error of tithing, you become an instant enemy and they call you a devil which is what they have been taught.

snailspeed:
First, Matthew 23:23 is not new testament. The new testament started after Christ ressurected from the dead. Maybe you never tought of that before you made your post.

And also important for you to know what tithing really is. This is Deutoronomy 14. See the instruction on tithing

22 “You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year. 23 Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship—the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to be honored—and eat it there in his presence. This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the Lord your God.

24 “Now when the Lord your God blesses you with a good harvest, the place of worship he chooses for his name to be honored might be too far for you to bring the tithe. 25 If so, you may sell the tithe portion of your crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the Lord your God has chosen. 26 When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want—cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and celebrate with your household. 27 And do not neglect the Levites in your town, for they will receive no allotment of land among you.

You're a superstar! Your understanding of this topic is impeccable. Your submissions is exactly what my argument to Christians have been over the years but they abuse me and see me as devil rather than see the scriptures I proffer. Pastors have told them that that those who don't pay will go to hell because they are robbers. Indoctrination is very bad indeed. It makes a fool out of even the educated. He sees the truth but wishes it were false and infact chooses falsehood to suit what he's been brainwashed to believe. The dangerous aspect of the tithe doctrine is in Galatians 3:10 which says that all who choose to live by the law are under the curse and recall that James 2:10 says that if you keep the whole law and offend in one point you are guilty of all. Therefore if you keep the Law on tithing and fail to keep sabbath and other 612 laws, you incur massive curses. Paul called those who sought to follow the Law foolish Galatians and referred to asking people to obey the Law bewitchment. Finally, Galatians 5:4 says that those who seek to be justified by the law are cut off from Christ and have fallen from grace.

Had similar problem with a Canadian university over ten years ago. They kept threatening to turn me over to a collection agency. I simply printed off all my email correspondences with them that evidenced my informing them that I was unable to make it for the programme. They got off my back.

African Leaders & oppression! No wonder ICC is always on their case. And some silly folks here on NL would be supporting them against ICC.

Compassion? She's an unrepentant imp... It's a lie no one was raping anybody....

You're pure evil! Ask God for mercy...

So where did she mention Don Jazzy?

Only in the suspicious mind of the OP!

People should stop attempting mind reading which just isn't their forte or rather attempting to knock heads together and starting a beef which just isn't there. The Eritrean issue is currently trending and Both Funmi and Jazzy are free to join in, and so far, they haven't mentioned any names for slating. Mind your business people!

That University was being used to siphon funds. Why should you build another University from scratch when you can upgrade Maritime Academy of Nigeria Oron to a full fledged University? When FG is already financing Maritime Institutes in UNN, IBB University et al to build capacity for the maritime sector. That project was pure fraud just a means of awarding over-inflated contracts and siphoning the money through NIMASA. Amaechi knows this, hence the cancellation. The Niger Delta still benefits in the end since Oron will be upgraded.
