You guys are wrong.

No Christian gets to God without passing through Jesus Christ through his Pastor.

So the new order is:
Sheeple - pastor - Jesus - God.

That #1 condition killed my urge to read the epistle any further.

That is technically admitting that Saraki is guilty.

Is the court not where cases are supposed to be judged guilty or otherwise?

This article is at best laughable as it is ignorant of the fact that some animals are not natives or reared in certain society or climes.

For example, sheep are not native to South South Nigeria, just like horses, but goats are. Meaning it is most likely to find stories and parables about goats than horses.
The same applies in the bible society that Jesus lived.

Besides, what does the Bible have against goats? Is it not God that created goats to be frisky, strong willed and independent?

One main attribute of a sheep is docility, but Jesus is the "Lion of Judah," is docility also an attribute of a lion?
Are lions shepherds?

I thought we ought to be like Jesus not like a sheep.

psucc:
Which Federal Government? We have Buhari not Federal Government.

NASS is not part of Buhari.

I get it.

PMB's Presidency,
Saraki's NASS,
psucc's Painment.

Why is Peace Corp logo looking like a school logo?

Is the NASS not part of the Federal government?

Gossiping in church?

Is that not where we go to gossip Jesus, the apostles, the prophets, the harlots and everything in between?

Besides, what/who were they gossiping?

"Gossip is idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others."
When you are in church listening to a pastor talk, you are idle, right?

Thanks for the observation, I meant you canget them effortlessly if somethings are not involved, like sin or spiritual issues but good news is we can overcome them in Christ. Thank you

Meaning, "terms and conditions apply," still.

Well done ooo... Keep flaunting your muscles and feathers until it gets plucked. If you enter the pastorial work without being called you will be rejected. It's a too thin that your pastor told you that God has called you into the pastorial ministry but have you heard from God personally?

Being a pastor is not all bout reading a text and interpreting, it goes beyond leading prayer sessions at being an erudite speaker. It is a relationship.

Three conclusions I have drawn from you speech.

1. You are full of yourself and that's definitely not a trait a pastor should have. Boast in the thinthings that shows God's power and not prove your intelligence.

2. You don't have the slightest idea of what you opted in for.
Men who stand in the gap are men of devotion to God. Who are you standing in the gap for, why and how can you do that? These are questions you should ask yourself.

3. You are looking for food and not the one who provides the food.

Please I am just airing my view. I have already forgiven anyone who will come and insult me.

... But he said his pastor recievd a call from God and inform him accordingly.
God does not have every bodies number, so he uses pastors as his voicemail to get to some people, You know.

Jesus did not promise any body riches, at least not earthly ones, which is the obsession.

so in the context of this narrative, there is no one way out, you can't eat your cake and have it, not even in Jesus Christ.

Besides, what is a cult group?

Churches have all the attributes of cult groups, using fear to control and keep members, with a leader everyone, more or less, worships at the head.
[the ancient meaning of worship is work, so you invariably worship what/who you work for]

The greatest control mechanism invented was the Christian hell.

It makes no sense that God, Love itself, should/would/could creat such a thing/place as hell for those that reject(ed) his love advances or proposals.

Is that not akin to what cultists do?

After taking time to read this long epistle, and the submission made that the basis of our problem is "language", which from relevant quotes in the article infers that God is the cause of our problem as he is the one that confused our language; Hence the confused bigotry between Muslims and Christians, both claiming to be children of Abraham.

... But I can't understand why this OP is suggesting Nigeria should be realigned along language lines, and we have over 250 languages. Hinting at Christian "language" as the way forward won't cut it either.

Even America, the epitome of democracy, is not constituted along language lines.

What we need is tolerance in religious, political, lingual, tribal, economic and social affairs.

dolphinife:
Sensational headline....the minister representing Kogi died last year, while the minister representing Gombe got appointed somewhere else.....

Would you people have loved he appointed someone from Anambra and Enugu to fill those positions when the law says every state must have a representative in the FEC

Why is it that so many juvenile idiots have taken over this nairaland??

Seun need to fumigate this forum

LionDeLeo:
Lol at sensational headline & comments so far. Clowns dominate nl. With comments like these, I have no doubt that there is no regional/ethnic lopsidedness after all in his appointees. It is all noise and have no basis. Imagine, "Buhari appoints two ministers from the north". Is it from the east you want him to replace the ministerial slots?

Checking the source of the news, I wasn't surprised why it was presented that way.

Some Women sha, with itching mouth in the name of confession, abi na love.

Some things are better left unsaid.

What you don't know can never bother you.

ToseroRock:
Am not a Muslim so i wouldn't understand that.

You don't need to be one to know a little about what makes them different from you.

So technically, Muslims don't commit fornication or adultery.

I ain't one though.

Leadership is about thinking with the heart, being charismatic and selfless which are not reflected by our grade of decree in school.

godsluvee:

That lady is hilarious

But on a serious note, I believe she is confused.

She seems to have the notion that men should worship women because the latter provide them with sexual pleasure. She needs to change her opinion because she is indirectly referring to women as 'sex objects'

Lols

You are right maybe, that is all she has to offer society.

That is better, at lest the suicide is postponed and you can enjoy a new lease on life, albeit on half engine.

Lucy001:
No I do not, tell me:..

For campaigning, inciting, demanding, and doing every thing to Break up Nigeria, period.

Lucy001:
ok

All dis northern elders self, instead of dem to think of ways to move Nigeria forward, dey are rather thinking of breakage who go loose when Nigeria breaks?

Sms vote TBoss to 32052 via your mobile phones.

Do you know why Nnamdi Kanu is in jail?

Seun:
Polygamy isn't considered a sexual sin in the bible. David's sexual sin was the incident with Solomons mom and his baby was punished for it.

That is Justice, the innocent always gets punished while the culprits go and give testimony in church.

What's the name of that man of God in the Bible that went to (frequented?) olosho joint and picked one home?

ToseroRock:
Anyone really expecting standards to be encriptrd on some golden/diamond post actually needs more handout in personal grooming.
PS: pls are you saying Muslims are without standards

Bae, I never said such a thing.
What I meant is the temporary marriage (nikah mut'ah), an Islamic practice that unites man and woman as husband and wife for a limited time, making it possible to bend the sharia law (standard) that allows sex only within the confines of marriage.

motherfucker:
Go and read what was posted on Nairaland from a northern muslim who is witness to the news, the link I posted was stumbled on today but I first heard about it on nairaland. That thread made front page and the witness stated that the Imams were telling their followers to get ready in case he dies. I only posted a link to let people know that this things REAL.

Some of you do not know what is currently going on in the country because you are not affected, neither has your relative been affected but wait for it. Cos a friend share his recent experience in which his childhood friend was killed in the last attack some week back, in Benue. He was born in Benue as well.

When Apostle Suleman made inciting statements, he was quoted and named, the Imams doesn't have names?

jamislaw:
You can't Remedy Maths and English at the same time in A.B.U remedial.
You have to register for A.B.U Ijmb while doing your remedial, and you must pass them both or after two years in the university you will be ordered to bring your maths and English results.

Sorry, you missed the sarcasm.

toyinaremu
In Economics, we have scales of preference, how is your scale looking like? If you jump the need to have God then you already have a misplaced priority and you will apply so much effort to something which ordinarily should be gotten effortlessly all things being equal.

The bolded defeats the essence of your message.
Meaning after making God your priority, is a guarantee that things will work out effortlessly, all things being equal?

I was hoping he saw corruption inside, he should thank his God he saw bread instead.

So it's true, PMB was poisoned.
OK

After reading this post, I am still trying to comprehend what this motherfucker is trying to say. Is there anyone that didn't speculate the possible cause of PMB's illness in the absence of official info?

It would have made more sense if you had added that the rumor of poisoning was calling the north to carry out genocide in case PMB died.

Life is a matrix, everything happens at once.
Don't tell me typing this post is the only thing happening right now in your life.

That Nigerians have short term memory, as you posit, doesn't mean news reporters won't dig up issues to report, whether those issues get/don't get resolved or are overtaken by other news events is not the reporters' fault.

Since you say Nigerians have short term memory, you have forgotten that the Presidents that died in office were all from the north, and one of them was poisoned and Nigeria did not go to war.

I thought some people said PMB was the reason FX was going outer space?
Now who is the reason for this new development, Emefiele?

You are right, I concur with your paragraph one.

I joined NL on (check my profile)

I joined because because I was tired of the eye-service comments on FB, I needed where people can air their opinions without fear or favor, with less selfie distractions.

Congratulations!

The baby should be talking already, though.
