Doyin2:


The difference is violence! GMB never supported the use of violence to implement the sharia.There is nothing evil about Sharia.Sharia is a constitution for the muslims ,just like the Nigerian constuitution. It has nothing to do with Christians,because it can only be applied to any muslim that embraces it.Please google is your friend.find what sharia law is all about(not about those using violence to enforce it,please)

The constitution of Nigeria is also very clear about sharia:

260. (1) There shall be a Sharia Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

262. (1) The Sharia Court of Appeal shall, in addition to such other jurisdiction as may be conferred upon it by an Act of the National Assembly, exercise such appellate and supervisory jurisdiction in civil proceedings involving questions of Islamic personal law.
(2) For the purpose of subsection (1) of this section, the Sharia Court of Appeal shall be competent to decide -
(a) any question of Islamic personal law regarding a marriage concluded in accordance with that law, including a question relating to the validity or dissolution of such a marriage or a question that depends on such a marriage and relating to family relationship or the guardianship of an infant;
(b) where all the parties to the proceeding are Muslims, any question of Islamic personal law regarding a marriage, including the validity or dissolution of that marriage, or regarding family relationship, a foundling or the guardianship of an infant;
(c) any question of Islamic personal law regarding a wakf, gift, will or succession where the endower, donor, testator or deceased person is a Muslim;
(d) any question of Islamic personal law regarding an infant, prodigal or person of unsound mind who is a Muslim or the maintenance or the guardianship of a Muslim who is physically or mentally infirm; or
(e) where all the parties to the proceedings, being Muslims, have requested the court that hears the case in the first instance to determine that case in accordance with Islamic personal law, any other question.



Enough of all this religious blackmail against GMB. The spread of sharia across Nigeria is for only Muslims that would want it to apply to them only.

GMB has never pretended not to be a muslim. However ,that someone is a devout Christian or Muslim should not be a subject of blackmail.Religious intolerance is the bane of the Nigerian society.

i do not think you understand Sharia and Shekau's game plan at all.

When GMD becomes the head of state, if he will be able to get there, his greatest problem will be Shekau - the foot soldier he armed.

Validated:
Where are Buhari's 2011, 2012 and 2013 Christmas messages?

What message does Buhari have for the families that lost their children serving in the North in 2011?

What Christmas message does Buhari have for all those who lost their livelihoods in Kano, Kaduna, Bauchi as a result of Sharia which he supported?

Please, these and many others who are victims of your religious bigotry do not need your message now! We know better. Do not hoodwink us with your supposed sympathy.

Merry Christmas Nigeria

Well spoken

Fani-Kayode Writes to Osinbajo – What Fellowship is there Between Light and Darkness?


A WORD FOR PROFESSOR YEMI OSINBAJO

I am glad that the APC eventually took my advice and saw the wisdom in not fielding a muslim/muslim ticket for the 2015 Presidential election even though I hear that, right up till the last minute, they almost did.

I congratulate my friend and brother Professor Yemi Osinbajo on his nomination as the Vice Presidential candidate of the APC and running mate to General Muhammadu Buhari.

I have known Yemi for a number of years and I must say that he is not only a very pleasant and civilised person with a warm and gentle disposition but he is also a cerebal lawyer with a brilliant mind. I have immense respect for him.

Yet sadly ever since I heard about his nomination and announcement as Buhari's running mate I have felt nothing but sheer pity for him and a deep sense of pathos. My counsel and words for him are as follows:
Woe unto the children of light that secretly delight in darkness and that seek to thwart the counsel of God for their nation by joining hands with the sons of Boko and the daughters of Haram.

The bible says ''what fellowship is there between light and darkness?'' It says ''what does God have to do with Belial?'' It says ''what profiteth a man to gain the world and lose his soul?''.

A respected Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, a devout and committed Christian and an intellectually-sound, well-bred and well educated Professor of Law accepts to be running mate to a closet fundamentalist, a bloodthirsty, cruel and murderous military dictator and a die-hard believer in the philosophy of ''born to rule''? This is serious.

A gifted servant of God who is a favored spiritual son of Rev. Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church Of God has jumped into bed with one of the most notorious troublers of the faith and one of the most consistent enemies of democracy and Nigeria? This is very sad.

Rev. Enoch Adeboye is undoubtedly one of God's greatest and most respected generals on the planet and one of the Church's most humble and best-loved precious gems, yet one of his spiritual sons has surely let him, and indeed the Kingdom of God, down by choosing to play ''man Friday'' and second fiddle to an individual that represents everything that is troubling, unsettling and repugnant to the modern world and to the 21st century? What a tragedy.

A learned Professor of Law and a senior member of the Nigerian bar who is the leading authority on the law of evidence and who has written numerous books on that topic chooses to play number two to a man that failed all his exams at military college and that never went to a decent school or to any university? Jumping Jehoshaphat.

It is only in Nigeria that this sort of thing can happen. Poor Yemi. Look at what the Haramites have done to him and look at what they have reduced him to. Is there anything that these creatures from hell will not do?
Is there anyone that they will not use and is there any norm that they will not defile, pervert, debase, violate and corrupt in their ignoble quest for power and as a consequence of their insatiable lusts and manifest greed?

The truth is that each and everyone one of us, including my friend Yemi, will ultimately have to answer to God for the choices that we make and we must live with the consequences of those choices.

It is no wonder that the Redeemed Christian Church of God has disassociated itself from a false claim that the Church and, by implication, Rev. Adegboye himself, was supporting the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket.

Thankfully they have come out to say clearly and categorically that this is not so. One can always trust Adegboye to do and say the right thing because he is a man that is truly ''after God's heart''.

Yet the denial of an endorsement and tacit support from his Church is just the first of many shockers and unwelcome surprises that Yemi will be served with in the next few weeks. He will get shock after shock and surprise after surprise until the battle is over and circumstances compel him to go back to his very lucrative legal practice.

Yet before he does that he should learn a thing or two from one of his esteemed colleagues and yet another Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, the courageous Pastor Bosun Emmanuel. Bosun said the following words in his famous sermon titled 'The Nigerian Church' which went viral just a few months ago.

He said, ''woe be unto any believer who joins hands with the enemies of God in an attempt to bury the Church and destroy the gospel''. This was a timely admonition and these are strong and wise words from a true servant of God who is under no illusion about what is going on in the politics of Nigeria and who is brave enough to say it as it is.

Yet whether we choose to heed Bosun's words or not I am absolutely certain of one thing: those that have aligned with the servants of satan and the children of darkness and that seek to thwart God's counsel for our nation shall not prevail.

Boko Haram abducted 185 women in Borno state on December 18th and they killed no less than 52 innocent people. Despite that some people are still supporting Buhari and his army of desperate Haramites? What a people, what a country.

Those that say that Buhari has changed simply because he chose a Pastor as his running mate are ignorant. Did he not have a Pastor as his running mate in his last outing in 2011? Did he not still say that it was his intention to ''spread sharia throughout the country'' and that ''an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north''?

Did he not oppose a state of emergency in the north eastern states and say that it was unfair for the military to kill Boko Haram members? Did he not say that instead of killing them they should forgive them, pamper them and treat them in the same way that the Niger Delta militants were treated?

Did the spokesman of his party Alhaji Lai Mohammed not say that the proscription of Boko Haram by the Federal Government was ‘’unjust’’ and ‘’unconstitutional’’? How does the fact that Buhari has opted for a Christian running mate change any of these things?

In any case he only opted for a Christian running mate because he was compelled to do so as a consequence of the hue and cry that the prospect of a muslim/muslim ticket had already started to generate.

Are those that cite the fact that he has a Christian running mate as evidence of his new-found love for Christians aware of the fact that during the American civil war a small, ignorant, misguided and deluded group of negro slaves actually fought on the side of the southern confederate forces in an attempt to keep slavery in place?

Did that suggest that the leaders of the southern confederate ‘’secession’’ states suddenly changed their minds and fell in love with the blacks that they had enslaved and treated like animals?

Is Buhari's claim of not being partial to his own hausa-fulani tribe not a little far-fetched? Did he not lead a northern delegation to Alhaji Lam Adesina, the late Governor of Oyo state, just a few years ago when some Fulani herdsmen were slaughtering Yoruba farmers on their own land and ask him ‘’why are YOUR people killing MY people?’’

Apparently Buhari believed that the aggressors that had invaded the land and farms of others and that killed all the occupants had a right to do so simply because they were fulani. Yet some people still claim that the man is not a tribalist.

Ignorance and lack of knowledge is a terrible affliction but in this context it is not only terrible but also very dangerous. Buhari’s choice of a Christian Pastor as his running mate means nothing and changes nothing about him or his entrenched views and ancient mindset.

It rather provides clear evidence of his sheer desperation to win power at all costs and it is a reflection of his obvious and deep-seated deceit. Let the truth be told even though the heavens may fall: Christian Vice President or no Christian Vice President, Buhari's heart remains as dark as ever.

We shall meet him in the field: let God's will be done.

PLEASE SHARE: The 5 Biggest lies President Goodluck Jonathan has told Nigerians.
https://www.nairaland.com/2053010/5-biggest-lies-president-goodluck

1. "..If I'm voted into power, within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement, and if I can't improve on power within this period, it then means I CANNOT DO ANYTHING EVEN IF I AM THERE FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS" - Goodluck Jonathan, Vanguard newspaper, 2011

2.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12339017

3. “The excesses of Boko Haram must stop. That is the decision of this present government now. It must stop, whatever it will cost the government, it must stop. The military intervention in the affected states is going on well. There is no human rights abuse and there is no collateral damage with regards to security of individuals. I am optimistic that with the level of success already being recorded, the emergency rule in the affected states may not last up to the six months stipulated by the Constitution,” Goodluck Jonathan, 2013

4. "I believe that the kidnap of these girls will be the beginning of the end of terror in Nigeria. We will surely bring their daughters back." President Goodluck Jonathan on Chibok girls May 2014
http://m.bbc.com/news/world-africa-27328003

5. “Over 70 percent of what are called corruption, even by EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) and other anti-corruption agencies is not corruption, but common stealing. Corruption is perception, not reality,” the President said during his 7th Presidential Media Chat

EfemenaXY:
Sad story.

The boy obviously must have had a ruptured spleen / organ and was bleeding internally.

This story just highlights the incompetencies of the Nigerian health sector, halfbaked doctors working without proper facilities, and an ignorant population who think "holding down" a fatally I'll patient and maniacally praying in tongues speaking gibberish will miraculously solve the problem.

RIP to the deceased.

You seem to know the victim better than his peeps.

Moderrator:
This is all a propaganda. There is no video where the boko leader said he would kill sanusi. No body has link ton that video. Actually that guy is dead. All videos of him media outlets use are old ones , the ones he was on a green military camo holding a white paper and having a towel tied around his head

All the news saying the book haram leader said any new thing either have no links to the video puts up a picture .

That cleared, how can a carefully planned boko assassination attack hit the mosque when the emir was in London of all places, mbanu!
If they wanted to kill the emir, they wouldn't climb the fence and start shooting randomly at people.
There is a voice leading the Friday prayer on the mega phone you can hear from outside the mosque, its not the emir's voice and you still proceed to attack? asi!
If they wanted to assassinate an emir they would wait for him on the way to the mosque or usually on the way back after they have confirmed that he actually attended the mosque. That's how all assassinations on Muslim prayer leaders have happened all through history including the two emirs boko killed in borno.

That book attack on kano central mosque to 'kill emir sanusi' is not supported in windows 8.
I mean,
That boko attack on the central mosque has a comma. gbam!
The igwe must here this!

meanwhile in 2013 in an interview sanusi said book haram where fighting for their rights because FG gave Niger Delta 13% of oil revenue while the north east is impoverished: http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/sanusi-links-boko-haram-to-derivation/108039/

Tibins:


GMB will surely FAIL. GEJ will make his 2nd term. By the time he leaves office in 2019 you will come back here to salute him. He has laid good foundations to launch this nation forward.
Rather than blame legislators who failed to pass PIB, you are here analysing what you have little or no knowledge about. If PIB had been passed, we would've witnessed more investment, growth & employment in that sector, which will multiply in other sectors....
Bros GEJ is the man to take this nation to the next level....

And our distinguished legislators still come out to tell us that they are serving us!!! PIB that has been before them for God knows how long is yet to be passed. These are the real looters of the economy. Pass the bill and prove me wrong.

ratiken:


Your case is different, I expect no objectivity from you. Besides your messiah as to stabilize the price of crude oil before seeking to understand what the gas market entails. What is your Buhari's road map? What is his manifesto? What is he planning to do differently? And if I hear anti-corruption from you then you have to tell me the day Tinubu and Atiku were crowned saints while Amaechi was sharing dollars on his behalf during APC convention.

To your question, the money is used in paying the overbloated salaries of your APC public officers.

His road map and manifesto is to fight corruption ONLY!!! Can you imagine that! In a country as diverse and complex as Nigeria. No road map few months / days to election.

ratiken:
In your face haters

Ii have nno doubt in my mind that GEJ means well for a United Nigeria. His long term policies on agriculture, automobile, power road map, gas distribution projects, railways, education (alamajiri schools etc) and even the subsidy removal are all geared towards a prosperous future.

We Nigerians are so short sighted and only interested in immediate gains. The enemies of Nigeria are busy fanning the ambers of insurgency and anarchy ...... But if only Nigerians could quit emotions and view things objectively knowing that no messiah will come an clear our 100years mess in 8years..... Support this government and work towards better days.

Ngwakwe:
This is the taste of what to expect if Buhari wins the Presidential Election. Barrage of litigation and indefinite detention of critics

I have consistently warned Nairalanders that though many may recent or criticise President Jonathan for his lack of charisma, some for regional neglect, some for the so-called corruption perception index and many more.

The citizens are yawning for change and revolution but the alternative in the offing as we speak is dangerous to democracy and only offers cosmetic regime change with attendant lies.


The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky. On the sanctity of life, Buhari is controlled by impulse and blind rage to the extent that he became satanic in his cruelty.

The existence of free media in Nigeria will be in danger and Nairaland will be the worst hit if you vote Buhari and usher in his godfathers and godchildren into power (office).

Very True

Truth be told. I know nairaland stands for truth.

Move to front page to clear all arguments

Op, your apologies accepted but there is time for everything. This was really dangerous considering the situation facing us as a country and as individuals.

Rebuking the Op is welcomed but nairalanders still need to assist the Op in dispelling the rumour. Send counter messages to your peeps using the available media channels.

I must confess the Op has a bunch of gurus (friends) as first contacts when it comes to information dissemination. I call on our government (especially the health sector) to explore this approach in getting vital information on Ebola (and other issues) across to the populace. Nigerians are survivors. Either you (government) pass the needed information across or we do it our own way (including the salt issue of this morning).

Though I did not believe the rumour, I saw it as a plot from the salt manufacturers and distributors to provide an alternative source of chlorinated water (that is, chlorine in water). This (chlorinated water) has been making the rounds as an effective hand wash solution.

For those that took hot salt bath or drank hot salt drinks (water/tea) this morning, was it effective against ebola?

NgeneUkwenu:

Like, I have always said here: 2015 would be different from Ekiti election. One, elections in 36 states are going to be done one day! Every governor would be fighting and playing dirty!

2. They wont be enough soldiers to go round the 36 states to intimidate voters. Obanikoro will be in Lagos facing Tinubu's election machine, ditto for ministers!

IN FACT IT WOULD BE ALL MAN TO YOUR TENT. Think of the outcome?

Is this not Nigeria? Is he not the C-in-C? Just wait and see.

The problem is we as a people do not like the truth. We only act and talk when there is a problem / an incident but fail to tackle what always leads to the problem.

Just like the OP said, anything can happen when the people are fed up with the system. When it gets to this point, anyone can be the victim. Whether we accept it or not, it is only religion that is suppressing the animal nature in us.

I have not seen the video and I do not intend to. If you have to been to a university, you will at least imagine how students of an institution settles within their host communities. Most times a cordial relationship exists. Nobody will maim anyone simply by walking down a road or street.

Aluu have faced horrors from robbers leading to relocation by majority of the inhabitants. No one is saying anything about the properties of 12 or more villagers destroyed bearing in mind that those may have all they have garnered so far in life.

Those camera phones used in uploading the video, are they owned by the villagers? Was the uploading done by the same villagers?

My only advice is that state government should ensure presence of security personnel in that area for the six months or one year. If not the dane guns will surely surface cos the students will not remain at home forever. This is what happens when properties of host communities are destroyed.

Shalom

Get to know and understand your enviroment very well.
If you find yourself in an enviroment that is tensed up as a result of
Incessant robbery activities, be very careful. Cos if you playfully takes his pin without his consent and runs off,
And he playfully shouts 'ole' or 'thief' or 'catch am' and playfully gives a chase, you may be permanently deleted.

Remember that when the chips are down,it is only you and your God. Why behave as if at your command, the red sea will be parted for you.

For those who are still in school or are planning to, once the situation degenerates to burning properties of host community, pack ur luggage and leave as fast as possible. It is not always a funny experience when the dane guns from the host community starts singing.

My 2 cents.

To all my homies who will be getting married after the said date, prepare to get 'stoned' by my 20 naira notes sorry coins.

To all 'able bodied' and 'intelligent' senators and house members, happy looting. Remember your poor communities in your kingdom. It is already clear to me that if this issue gets to your table, it will get an express approval. Imagine the stress of carrying 1000 notes being reduced by introducing 5000 notes.

I have combant pants and solid jeans with 8 pockets for sale. The 8 pockets translate to 4mil if you get what I mean.

@queensmith

no2 whats the difference? what can 4naira buy?


Are saying that 4 naira for every litre of fuel sold in Rivers State over the next 2 years (assuming it lingers till then) won't be able to buy anything?

Frivolous post.

Of course, that is why he is Mr President.

The problem is not giving a monkey a cup to drink but getting the cup back from the monkey. Arming idle hands with weapons means it may turn on you someday. It was sectarian violence initially, but gradually moving towards senseless assassination(s).

IBB and his fellow northern elders / traditional rulers owns it as a duty to nip this in the bud. Afterall, they are the chief security officers of their 'domains'. Do your part and government will do its part.

Location?

MEND OR NO MEND, THE PRESIDENT DID WHAT HE THINKS IS BEST IN THE TIME BEING. DOING OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE WARRANTED AN IMMEDIATE MILITARY ACTION AGAINST INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THE CREEKS (PRESUMED MEND LOCATIONS) AND NOT AGAINST THE PERPETRATORS/ TERRIORSITS.

MR PRESIDENT HAS PROMISED TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION, LET'S GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT.

My dear Mr Former Vice President,

You were once respected by all. Now you seem to be losing it. Your actions depict one who wants to rule at all costs. I want to assume you were part of those who formulated the parties constitution. If such a clause exists in your parties constitution, you better respect it.

Fighting OBJ (one man) did not yield any good fruits. The result - you went AWOL, became a party harlot, reflected on your past deeds like the prodigal son and decided to go back to papa. You were welcomed back. Now what are we hearing?

You want to go to court. To challenge who? PDP? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

You are gradually losing your charisma to win elections in Nigeria my dear Mr Former Vice President.

Meanwhile going back to PDP means that you have accepted a position of 'sitdon look'. Please don't waste your money on 2011 elections.

No one is ruling that out the possibility of a military coup. Even the politicians know this. Their family members are not close to them.

The first map he posted comprised satellite pictures of different locations. The red enclosure denotes boundaries while the small rectangles denote places of interest e.g.  stadia, churches, mosques, etc. Download Google Earth and you will get to know more.

Our climate and weather conditions has really changed. Global warming everywhere, earthquakes of great magnitudes in many places, diseases and ailments with no cure, e.t.c.

Just yesterday, Sunday 21-03-2010, in the eastern region and environs (around 10a.m. in the morning) the weather was so calm, the sun was not scorching but when you look at it, it has the colour of the moon and you cannot really gaze at it.

Not long afterwards, a bit of harmattan set in. Can anyone explain the brief harmattan experienced yesterday (march ending) when we should expecting the rains? I was in Owerri and P.H. yesterday.

The bottomline then is that our weather has become unpredictable. Whatever you hear, you had better take the necessary precautions before arguing and doubting.

The above is very correct.

Most of us (men) don't go gaga after ladies. All that needs to be done is to be patient with the victim or "the perceived new love". The only problem with being patient is that no-one will grow to be as old as Methusaleh.

Both of you enjoy the new found space especially when your friend is not around or is asleep. Always remember that her room is available when the sitting room becomes to hot for both of you (that is, when she is not around).

Overcome your shortcomings and remember that you do not repay good with evil. Ask yourself, what does he want in the house when your friend is not around. If it is company you need, just step outside the door of the apartment.

militancy or no milltancy, these issues should not be treated with kid gloves. no one is above the law. the culprits should be fished out and made to face the full wrath of the law. of course they were not raping their sisters when they were in the creeks.
