Feleezy:
People seems to forget that 70% of votes are required for there to be a winner. By the look of things, I doubt either of the two main parties can amass that sum.
Which one is 70%?Where did you get that.It has always being two criteria;simple majority and 25% of total votes cast in two-thirds of 36 states.

I know the thread is not for ONdo but still relevant

Did Sule Lamido work for APC?

How come his revered PDP had a miserable outing in his State?

Too bad! Noisemaker he's.

GMB had almost 900,000 votes while GEJ got almost. 200,000 votes.

A difference of 700,000 is more than the entire population of Bayelsa State!

Christianity Etc › Re: Pastor Kumuyi To Scrap Some Church Traditions And Doctrines by MAYOWAAK: 11:34pm On Mar 29, 2015
The trouble that every religion encounters is that the answers it provides today are challenged by new human awareness that comes into being tomorrow. Adherents of every religion are in constant struggle to reinterpret their religion to keep it relevant. A religion dies when it can no longer be bent to explain today's world within the context of its original precepts.

The nature of religion, its penchant for indoctrination, abhors flexibility. Its integrity rests on rigidity and frugality. But because it is a human institution, the pull to change and to adjust to new realities exerts pressure on religion and, over time, ultimately, tears it apart.

sirabbey:
Wole Soyinka became who he is today ( a world renowned Nobel laureate, literary colossus) because of the rigorous foundation set for him by his father S.A Soyinka who mandated Wole to write one essay every day while growing up hence nicknamed Mr. Essay Soyinka.



Thank you Mr. S.A Soyinka for giving us the world Prof Oluwole Soyinka, the indefatigable Kongi himself.
I beg to differ on the etymology of his father's alias.In Wole's childhood autobiography;AKE.Wole observed that his father's friends and acquaintances were always hailing him as S.A which stands for Samuel Ayodele.In Wole's innocent mind he thought they were calling his father ESSAY not knowing it was his father's initials that was always being mentioned hence the origin of ESSAY.

I have a copy of the book with me.

Politics › Re: Check Out This Advert On Today's Sun Newspaper. by MAYOWAAK: 2:48pm On Mar 24, 2015
In the last five years of Jonathan administration in Igbo land, It has been more of political promise less action. From the Second Niger Bridge, Enugu-Onitsha road, Enugu-Port Harcourt road, Onitsha port to the refusal to commission Prof. Barth Nnaji’s Geometric power plant in Aba that was ready for almost two years now. The list is endless. But some few Igbo treacherous leaders who are beneficiaries of the President Jonathan’s government and the massive corruption that has characterised it in the last five years have continued to shamelessly campaign for his re-election in Igbo land with nothing concrete for the Igbos. They are busy spreading cheap propaganda and hate message against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.

These categories of Igbo leaders include former governors, incumbent governors, serving ministers, former ministers, leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and several others. With so much public funds, they are busy engaging in all kinds of hatchet political jobs. They are everywhere on the pages of newspaper, in the churches, communities, on the streets sponsoring pro-Jonathan rallies with looted public money, casting Buhari and APC. They are deluding the people that Buhari will islamise Nigeria if he is elected President, but failed to tell them why President Jonathan has not Christianised the country in the last five years, if it is easy. They are telling them that the Hausa are Boko Haram and not good people, but did not tell them why Boko Haram insurgents have been killing and displacing the Muslims in the last five years. If truly Hausa are not good as these elite want us to believe, why have they been able to co-habit peacefully in the Igbo land for decades. One hard truth these set of Igbo political mercenaries have refused to disclose to their people or wouldn’t want them to know is that the votes of the Southeast and South-South which is about 16.8 million cannot return Jonathan for second term, even if he gets all of them which is not possible. That the votes of these two geo-political zones are not up to the vote of the Northwest zone with 19,800 million votes.

In this their hatchet job, none of these so-called Igbo political leaders in the PDP is talking or negotiating anything better for the political future of the Southeast in power equation of the country. What matters most to them is the immediacy, which is their private pockets, business interests, and that of their families, and relations. Others can go to hell. That is why majority of them have remained with the tag “Any Government In Power” (AGIP).

It is for this reason that some Nigerians such as the Director of Media and Publicity of the President Jonathan campaign organisation, Chief Femi-Fani-Kayode could summon courage to insult the sensibilities of the Igbo in the name of campaigning for President Jonathan by re-writing the civil war history.
Addressing journalists in Umuahia Abia State recently, Fani-Kayode, said there had been “mind boggling allegations” against Buhari over his roles in the massacre of Igbo in the 60s and should, therefore, not be allowed to continue to run from his shadows.

He said Buhari’s hands reek of the blood of innocent Igbo civilians massacred in cold blood hence such atrocities could not qualify him as a presidential candidate but a candidate for the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague.

Citing the horrendous massacre of Igbo civilians, including women and children in the North, and the killing of Igbo men and young boys at Asaba after the town was “liberated” by federal forces, Fani-Kayode insisted that Buhari’s name had always popped up in connection with those heinous crimes against humanity.

It had been expected that some Igbo leaders would have call Fani-Kayode to order over the unguarded utterances especially concerning the Igbo and the civil war, but as we know the fear of incurring the Presidency’s wrath appears to be their handicap because they lack integrity. If not, what did Fani-Kayode know about Igbo and the civil war experiences. If Buhari was serving in a military division where Igbo were killed during the civil war does that mean that Buhari killed them? Of what effects are such utterances on Igbo’s fortune in Jonathan presidency? Why such comments now?

Why was Fani-Kayode trying to re-write history of civil war for the Igbo, and when has he become the spokesman of the Igbo or Ohanaeze? Lest we forget, the worst thing that happened to the Igbo after the war was the issue of abandoned property in Rivers. Bayelsa was part of Rivers then and President Jonathan was from there. So we can conveniently ask President Jonathan and his people to explain their roles in the abandoned property saga in Rivers. This is because most of the property in the present Rivers and Bayelsa and by extension Cross River belong to Igbo before the war but could not recover them after the war. The old Rivers people seized everything Igbo worked for and refused to give them back anything after the war.

Whereas those in the North whom people like Fani- Kayode tagged enemies of the Igbo did not only protect Igbo property in the region, they returned them to the Igbo immediately after the civil war. People like the late Biafra warlord Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu reclaimed his father’s house in Kano after the war and willed it to one of her daughters at death. That is why it was easy for Igbo in the North to start life quickly after the war. Before the Boko Haram insurgency, 80 per cent of Igbo were earning their living in the remote areas of the North where you hardly find an Ijaw man. This is because Ijaw men are not good at adventures. So who is trying to pitch Igbo against the North ahead of the rescheduled polls? When has Igbo become cheap products for sale to the highest bidder? Ahead of the rescheduled presidential poll, the political atmosphere is very clear. The direction is change and the Igbo should not be behind because immediately the change occurs, these political hypocrites called Igbo leaders in the PDP that have been hoodwinking the Igbo with Greek gift from President Jonathan will be the first to shift base. They are not truly Igbo political leaders, but political harlots who are specialists in the elitist conspiracy, and divide and rule method to remain politically relevant. Igbo must shine their eyes.

Sports › Exactly 35 Years Ago,Nigeria Won Her First AFCON Title by MAYOWAAK(op): 1:43pm On Mar 22, 2015
35 years ago, almost to the day, I was one of 16 young Nigerian football players that walked onto the turf of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, before an audience of some 100,000 Nigerians packed in a 60,000 capacity stadium like Sardine to attempt to create history. 90 minutes later, driven by the passion of a hundred million Nigerians, the goal was achieved. The Green Eagles played beyond their capacities, flew high above the Desert Warriors and destroyed the invincibility of an Algerian team that was at its peak and its best, obviously more experienced and probably even better than the Eagles.

On the night, Nigeria could not be stopped having come through some really difficult early matches. We played our best match of the championship, scored the highest number of goals and won the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in our country’s history.

The president of Nigeria at the time, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, led the sea of Nigerians that physically watched the event live at the stadium. As young men, we were over the moon. We had worked very hard and prepared well under the guidance of professional sports managers and administrators. Nigeria had well-established sports institutions, a clear sports policy, a clear strategy and vision for sports development.

We saw ourselves as ambassadors and patriots serving our country willingly in answer to our nations call to duty. Our victory in 1980 was the culmination of a process that started in 1976 when the national team went to Dire Dawa and against all odds returned with bronze medals for the first time in our history. That was the impetus needed to aim higher and we did. In that spirit, we went to Ghana in 1978 and reinforced our confidence.

When 1980 came and the event was to hold in our country we believed we had to win and were ready. The preparations were hard but meticulous, driven by our single-mindedness to be part of history.

The entire country was involved on March 22, 1980. It was a day none of us that played in that match would ever forget. We soared like eagles.

In the end, hard work, good luck, the people’s support, our government’s commitment, paid off. We won. And we were deservedly rewarded well without any solicitation by us.

This day, 35 years after that victory, I can still play back in my mind almost every minute of the final match – the blaring trumpet of late musician Zeal Onyia marshaling Nigerians to the great battle, the vociferous singing of 100,000 Nigerians at the stadium, and the rampaging supercharged Green Eagles.

It was a day when the elements had no choice but to side with the Eagles, and to provide Nigerians with the cause to truly celebrate.

35 years after that victory, the heroes of 1980 are still remembered by most Nigerians. Six of those heroes have passed on to the beyond – Muda Babatunde Lawal, Best Ogedegbe, Okey Isima, Alloysius Atuegbu, Martin Eyo, and Tunde Bamidele.

The rest are alive and kicking, not by our strength but by the Grace of God, grateful for the opportunity of life, and of that day, March 22, 1980 when our names were written in Gold in the archives of Nigerian football.

On behalf of all 22 of us, including Emmanuel Okala, Sylvanus Okpala, Felix Owolabi, Shefiu Mohammed, John Orlando, Frank Nwachi, Christian Chukwu, Ifeanyi Onyedika, Henry Nwosu, Moses Effiong, Charles Bassey, Godwin Odiye, David Adiele, Kadiri Ikhana, Adokie Amiesimaka and I, I use this opportunity to say thank you once again to all Nigerians for their support and love still being bestowed lavishly on us since 1980!

----
Pacesetters is a Macmillan novel series written by established African authors who write on societal realities, personal concerns, contemporary issues and problems faced by Africans.
Unlike the other well-known series that deal mainly with romance and crime, the Pacesetters series is uniquely different in that it is an all rounder dealing with these areas and more and it is the only novel series written by Africans.
The series was created in 1977, with the publication of Agbo Areo’s Director! By the early 1990s, there were 125 titles.
Latter, due to various reasons, the titles in the series have diminished in presence in the mainstream market.
There have been about 130 titles published to date.

Politics › One(1) Year After The Nigerian Immigration Service Test Tragedy. by MAYOWAAK(op): 1:35am On Mar 15, 2015
Young men and women rose in the morning with zest and hope. For years, all most of them wanted were jobs. Jobs gave them food on the table but, more importantly, the pride of life.A year ago when the countless numbers of them attended the Nigeria Immigration Services job recruitment exercise, death replaced hope. It skulked and triumphed over at least 19 lives.

Stampede swamped the venues across the country. Imagine the sight of the three pregnant women gasping for air in Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, or the three who lost their footing and choked as the crowds trampled over them in Sani Abacha Stadium in Minna. Imagine the families of the beloved ones in Port Harcourt who had to swap their earlier wishes of good luck with dirges and funeral faces as they headed for the state hospital. Five died in the garden city. In the nation’s capital Abuja, which was the headquarters of the recruiting agency, how could you explain the eight snuffed out giddily?
Health › Re: How Risky Is MouthAction? (A MUST READ) by MAYOWAAK: 12:07pm On Mar 05, 2015
Inside a Danfo, going to Oshodi.

One of the passengers, an old woman, is sitting next to you. The old woman starts to beg the driver, to stop at a particular bus-stop before Oshodi, so it makes easy for her and her heavy loads. And especially when the driver, on boarding, has promised to stop at her bus-stop.

No way! The driver screams at the woman. I'm not stopping until I get to the bus-stop in Oshodi, he arrogantly insists. The more the woman begs, the more the insults the driver spits on her.

And then, you lose your calmness. How will this stupid driver not keep to his promise? And on top that, insults a woman old to be his mother? You intervene.

-Hey driver, you must stop for this woman

-Who you be? I no dey stop

-You dey find trouble abi?

The driver turns his face at you.

-Na you wan give me trouble? For my own zone?

You tighten your face into a frown, and then pointing into your face,

-You no dey look face? You no who I be for Oshodi?

-Who you be?!

-If you no stop this woman, I go...

-You go do wetin? Ehn? Wetin you wan do?

You pick your phone from the chest pocket of your shirt. You dial an incomplete phone number, and you place the phone by your ear.

-Hello Rogorogo The Killer. You dey Oshodi? One foolish driver dey flex imm muscle... Ehn yes, I wan make you arrange others make we deal with am... Ehn yes, wait for me for Oshodi bus-stop, we go soon reach... No, no kill am... Erm.. make we just break imm head small.

You terminate the fake phone call. The woman is scared. Other passengers are scared. All of them start to beg you. They are begging you to take it easy. Ha, Baba oko mi, dakun oti to o, ma pa'yan simi l'orun, the woman holds your hand, rubs your shoulder, begging. Tell your people not to wait for you at Oshodi, don't kill a man because of me, she pleads.

No! Let me deal with this idiot, you scream, with so much anger.

You expect the driver to give in to sobriety and do what's right. He, instead, picks his phone from the dashboard. And he puts the conversation on loud speaker.

-Hello, where you dey?

- Oshodi na!

- One passenger dey do anyhow here, abeg gather unasef, and make you gather instruments. Na face off, imm boys don dey wait for Oshodi too.

- Imm dey mad? Imm wan die? Oya, dey carry am come. We go scatter anybody head.

He terminates the call. And then, the passengers start to beg him. Begging the two of you.

E no go better for anybody wey beg me again, the driver yells.

You wipe the sweat forming on your forehead. You are almost at the Oshodi bus-stop.

Whatever happens at the bus-stop today? That, will be a story for another day.
Politics › Re: Shehu Shagari's 90th Birthday Party (Pictures) by MAYOWAAK: 10:20pm On Feb 25, 2015
In his memoir, Beckoned to Serve, Shagari said of the coup that overthrew him: "Some public statements by General Obasanjo severely criticising the administration seemed to point to at least a tacit incitement of the military against the government." He said he tried endlessly to invite Obasanjo for discussion on the situation, especially on the national economy about which he showed some concern, but the general avoided him. He later discovered why Obasanjo had become very hostile to him. "I understand from someone close to him, however, that he had expected me to be constantly consulting him on all matters of government since he had an obsession of being a super-administrator, super-diplomat and of course a military genius," Shagari wrote.

Politics › Re: Top 7 Controversies Involving Former President Obasanjo by MAYOWAAK: 9:03am On Feb 19, 2015
For the life of me, I will never understand how former President Olusegun Obasanjo does it. When you think he is done, he has just begun. I have watched in utter amusement how he has, yet again, wangled his way into the front page of newspapers on a daily basis. I don’t know of any other former head of state elsewhere who has turned himself into the subject and object of national attention long after he has left power. Obasanjo is always there, always scheming, always screaming. It is his luck, I must say, but, as a mere mortal, I often wonder why some guys have all the luck.

Obasanjo, amazingly, has become a god or a saint to many Nigerians. Many politicians, commentators, journalists, activists and youths who used to criticise him are now celebrating him as our moral compass. The people he has brutalised before — such as Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi — go to Abeokuta to genuflect to him. Even Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, of all people, goes to Obasanjo's house to pay homage. And President Goodluck Jonathan goes to Abeokuta to kowtow to him, with two respected pastors in tow.

How does Obasanjo do it? Can anyone help me out? He has a word on every issue. He expresses his opinion so forcefully, so eloquently and so mischievously that you just cannot ignore him. He loves to criticise what he is patently guilty of. He loves to vilify anyone who does not worship at his temple. There is no accusation Obasanjo throws at anyone that he himself is not double guilty of. He has launched ferocious media attacks against most of his successors — President Shehu Shagari, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua and Jonathan. Only Gen. Sani Abacha pre-empted him by throwing him into jail before he could open his mouth.

Obasanjo complains about corruption and Nigerians hail him. What's his moral high ground? Can someone tell me? Has anybody never heard about the Halliburton and Siemens scandals? The damning reports are there in the attorney-general's office. Does the name Dr. Julius Makanjuola ring a bell? Under Obasanjo, he was the permanent secretary of the ministry of defence implicated in a N421 million scandal. Mysteriously, the case was abruptly closed with Nolle Prosequi (no further prosecution) — the first in Nigeria's history.

Well, Obasanjo went on to set up the anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), headed by Malam Nuhu Ribadu, which — in fairness — did kick the backsides of many politicians. But EFCC could not tackle Obasanjo's own corruption: from the obscene fundraiser for his private library to his shareholding in Transcorp — a company that was getting juicy stuff from a government superintended by Obasanjo. Have we all forgotten the scandalous waivers granted to all kinds of human beings, officially defrauding our treasury billions of dollars?

Does anybody remember that Obasanjo was in power for eight years and we kept importing fuel, with PDP financiers getting the contracts through local and foreign fronts? Forgotten so easily? Does anybody remember how much we spent on repairing refineries that kept "knocking" for the eight years that Obasanjo was in power? Does anybody still remember Obasanjo saying on national TV that he did not know the price of kerosene and it was "unacceptable" that it was more expensive than petrol? How does Obasanjo get away with hoodwinking Nigerians?

Do we still remember that Obasanjo did not resolve the electricity problem for eight years? Do we still remember the "$16 billion spent on power without results" for which Obasanjo arrogantly refused to appear before the House probe panel? Is it that we have forgotten that the damning report was killed? Do we still remember that Obasanjo did not add one coach to the railways throughout his tenure despite spending billions of dollars? Does anybody still remember how many federal highways were in terrible state for the eight years that Obasanjo spent in power? Have we forgotten the Benin-Shagamu road saga? Just like that?

When Obasanjo discusses insecurity, I cringe. From every available evidence, Boko Haram started right under his nose. If he had aborted the foetus, maybe we wouldn't be engaged in fire-fighting today. I have heard many Nigerians say, perhaps innocently, that if Obasanjo had been in power he would have crushed Boko Haram by now. Really? How well did he crush the less complex militancy in the Niger Delta? Was it not under Obasanjo that the militancy started in 2004 and flourished?

To the best of my knowledge, militants were bombing oil installations and kidnapping oil workers with ease under Obasanjo. At a stage, daily crude oil production fell to about 900,000 barrels — from the height of 2.5m. In fact, we were later told that why Obasanjo picked Jonathan as the running mate to Yar'Adua was to appease the Niger Delta. Of course, nobody was appeased. The attacks continued until Yar'Adau offered an amnesty deal. How these facts conveniently escape us is beyond my understanding.

Insecurity? Abacha's regime aside, more Nigerians were assassinated under Obasanjo's watch than at any time in our history. The abridged roll-call: Chief Bola Ige, a serving minister; Chief Marshall Harry, co-ordinator of the Buhari presidential campaign in 2003; Chief AK Dikibo, PDP chieftain and ally of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar; Chief Uche Ogbonnaya (OGB), an ANPP senatorial candidate in Imo State in 2003; and Mr. Barnabas Igwe and his wife, Amaka, in Onitsha. The assassins were never unmasked. What is insecurity?

How did Obasanjo become our moral compass? How did he become such a highly sought-after role model? Has anybody ever managed to read the affidavit Obasanjo's own son, Gbenga, filed while seeking a divorce from his wife on the ground of Inbreeding and adultery? It doesn't matter? Has anybody ever taken time to read the letter Iyabo wrote to her father, giving graphic details of his megalomania and duplicity? It doesn't matter? Has anybody ever done a recap of the blatant rigging of elections under the "saint"? It doesn't matter?

Obasanjo pontificates on impunity and we hail him. What happened to us? Dr. Chris Ngige, as governor of Anambra State, was abducted by Obasanjo's associates. Have we forgotten the illegal impeachment of Alhaji Rashidi Ladoja as governor of Oyo State? What about the impeachment of Chief Joshua Dariye as governor of Plateau by eight out of 24 lawmakers? For three years, Obasanjo unconstitutionally withheld Lagos council allocations because of political differences. It took Yar'Adua only a few days in power to undo the impunity.

They say, "Oh, Obasanjo is a patriot. He has the best interest of Nigeria at heart." Really? Can Obasanjo look up to heavens and say, solemnly, that he had the best interest of Nigeria at heart when he was picking his successor? Such a character cannot be my own moral compass. With a moral compass like Obasanjo, though, Nigeria is doomed and damned.

There is a new advertisement i saw in National Geographic Wild (Nat Geo Wild) channel last week; the voice says...

"There are three rules to be a perfect predator:

1) Always be hungry...

2) Maintain your anger...

3) Never forget rules 1 and 2..."

The big cats (lions, puma, leopards, tigers and cheetahs etc) and the dog family (wolves, hyenas, wild coloured dogs etc) coupled with the big reptiles (comodo dragon, crocodiles ect) that managed to survive and thrive since the days of dinosaurs are among the few killing machines, wired by nature to master the art of the three rules above...

However, since the heat of this presidential election has overwhelmed all and sundry to argue like a hungry man under some influence of a toxic alcohol, and a hungry man is said to be a very-very-very angry man; i can't help but conclude that we are all perfect predators of some sort since withingly or unwithingly, we obey the three rules of a perfect predator to a large extent...

This election has subjected Nigerians to showcase all forms of animal behaviours without knowing it, and often times i now mistake facebook as a wildlife where wild animals inhabit -

I hail the big cats (Jonathanians) especially the lions among the big cats_ No doubt, they move in pride...

I hail the dogs family (Buharists) especially the wolves among the dog family_ No doubt, they move in packs...

I also wanna take this time out to hail the so called fence sitters. I use the term "so called" because i don't believe anyone is sitting on the fence for the mere reason that he or she disgust Dr Goodluck and Buhari, afteral there are other presidential aspirants these lots can also vote for, so anyone or group of people calling them fence sitters are bunch skanky punk ass cowards.

This special breed of silent killer predators (so called fence sitters) falls under the unique categorry of big reptiles, especially the crocodiles or do i try the comodo dragons for size - Whichever, i hail you all_ They are the most patient breeds and they hunt calmly with their objective write-ups...

Then the last but not the list is the weirdest predator the world has ever seen. I have once knelt down only to ask the Almighty God what i have done so wrong in my past life, that i have to reincarnate in the same country with this man in question. He is the only predator that feeds on both flesh and vegetables too. He is infact what a scientist in Nat Geo Wild calls "the world weirdest" - I hail you, the only man that belongs to the family of ANTHROPOIDS (APES) in Nigeria's political atmosphere_

I am talking about the commedian and ever dramatic erstwhile president Aremu Mathew Okikiola Olusegun Obasanjo, who is now enjoyimg the front row seat in all the media outlets like the ISIS in foreighn media channels, is back on limelight with full force because of the manner he applied the rules of predator in tearing his PDP card...

However, God is in control and his will must be done in Nigeria - One with Obasanjo can never be tagged majority but one with God is majority for sure_ Fact!

Stay safe ladies and gentle men, this is officially a political war between past generals and true civilians that love democracy - One House..!!
Christianity Etc › Re: “Missionary” Is The Only Holy Sexual Position - Pastor Olugbenga Oladejo by MAYOWAAK: 5:21pm On Feb 18, 2015
A Nigerian pastor Pastor Olugbenga Oladejo, warned married couples of going to hell if they engage in 'unholy' sexual activities such as MouthAction, doggy-style, cow-girl and other positions (besides missionary), bondage sex, spanking, fingering, hard banging, etc.

According to the preacher he was taken to hell where he saw a special place of torture for those who engage in the above 'unholy' sexual activities.

It happens that my favorite sexual activities are the ones that sky-daddy finds infuriating the most. Nothing is separating me from Doggy-style.

It is quiet funny that the things that concerns a God the most are the sexual positions and bedroom activities of men. Is this the mental burden and price of being omniscience? I do not understand how an Omniponent sky-baba will boycott the most severe issues like hunger, poverty, natural disasters, corruption and illnesses and then be obsessed about what men do with their dicks and vaginas.

So, you're telling me that some God will torture men for being able to exercise their anatomy and flexibility which he gave them? Is he going to torture dogs, baboons, monkeys and other animals for not using the missionary style? That your sky-daddy needs a psychologist.

How do people enjoy the thoughts of this sadistic and imaginary creature? Anyone that enjoys torturing people with fire, sadism, fear and giving them endless tears is not loving but a sick and sadistic thing. Even saner humans don't do that to prisoners. If saner humans can come together and declare that torture is a crime, so the super-benevolent one is yet to evolve to such humane feeling? Smh

It is only in Christianity that people go to hell and heaven but still live here on earth. These religitards never seize to disappoint with their looneys. If you believe in talking snakes and donkeys, it is only natural that you people will habor a lot of mad people in your mists. The maddest ones call themselves born again or 'Mad' of God, sorry man of God.

There are so many men of God in Yaba psychiatric hospital. Just take a trip there and learn about their visons and prophesies too
