I think this is the same Rev. Kayode Oje that taught me in the University over twenty years ago. God bless you sir.

I have read Malachi God Knows how many times.

Hypocrites have come again. Is it the gold that Gold is fighting? Good part of tabernacle and Solomon' temple were adorned with gold. In the OT high priest's cloth, gold was used; he even wore a golden crown. The city of heaven is made with highest grade of gold not known to this world. Many none gold wearer are devils. If you do not believe in gold don't wear.
I perssonally do not believe God has problem with gold.

The self proclaimed and acclaimed prophecy decoders or interpreters have come again. I believer my topic on visitors to hell and heaven was stopped.
However, brethren live your lives without fear. There have been propagation of such understanding before. Major ones: in recent times the failure of which made Charles Taze Russell left in 1887 or so Seventh Day Adventists to form what metamorphosized to Jehovah Witnesses today. The Armageddon of JW of 1975 failed among other special other 'special truths'. Another group also from JW known as LORD' s WITHNESSES has come out with 'special truths'. About two years ago one octogenarian Harold Camping fixed sometime in May that year as the end of the world. I used to listen to his broadcast on family radio then with utter amazement at his dismal scripture ignorance. Jesus said ' as in the day of Noah people were eating and drinking, marrying etc' such will be the day. Are you preparing to marry go ahead. Do you have a plate of a delicious food before you demolish it I beg. Live holy and expect Him any day or if you die before He comes fine. Do not fear any atomic bomb threat. In any case one will surely die one kind of death one day. Maranatha!

No pastor has ever healed any sickness no more can any pastor healed any sickness curable, incurable or terminal. The HEALER is JESUS. I have personal testimony of my co - student prayer that healed me of 10 years migraine. I have seen leg an inch shorter grow in a crusade.
Readers help this fellow with living testimonies. Jesus is LORD!

Who is a witness; rather, a true or false witness?

frosbel: God does not need a physical temple any more, he needs people to get ready to inhabit an everlasting kingdom as immortal beings.

We are commanded to go and preach the Gospel to all creatures and make disciples of MEN , not to build more and more temples to further the objective of our own empires.

Go out into the world is the command.

So the auditorium is not going to be built in the world. Your so to say disciples are they in caves or holes? How many disciples have made personally? People like you always criticise and have nothing to offer not even to God except judging His servants

All you critics of Pastor E. A. Adeboye are just living in fools paradise. No matter what you say about him, he is fulfilling his destiny. You like it or not, he is one of the few in this generation history will bear beautiful record. Anyway, history is record of achievers not of failures. Why don't you concentrate on your own lives and leave the man of God alone?

Birdman and Gidson12 I appreciate your contributions. I stumbled on this article at night and tried to copy it for NLanders debate to find out that someone of like mind had done the job. I was angered by Fashola's action at first but with your comments I am having a rethink b/c I personally like Fashola for his reforms. I respect Falana for his sacrifice and courage all this years in his activities for the defence of human rights.
I personally, however, do not agree with deportation of nigerians within the nation or the institution of street begging any form of nuisance especially area boys stuff and street beggars. I would not say also that Fashola should use taxes of his people to take care of citizens from other states whose governments are clueless about the welfare of their own citizens.
My comment on begging: I am aware tha Fayemi pays #5000 a month to senior citizens of Ekiti state, Osun and Oyo should help us rid motor parks of the people that beg in these places. I honestly feel ashamed to see mad people walking our streets naked when we can keep them somewhere and cater for them. Or, people begging on our streets especially whether nigerians or people from niger. I am sadder to see my own people from yorubaland copying the northern beggars and constituting nuisance to the society. It is even more shameful that another brother - fashola (or any other) would deport his own people because they are nuisance not necessarily because of poverty. I remember walking the street of Lagos several years after NYSC no one would deport me because of lack of job but in asituation where street begging is institutionlized, it is a shame on the governors of such states whose citizens are compelled to be beggars most especially if they are yorubas.

gidson12: all this long epistle just to support the stupidity of one governor, so this crazy writer just dugged out some foolish acts of people in history just to justify the deportation of citizens within a country......God help us

You should be patient while reading contributions or topics on NL or else I recommend you for the next batch of deporrtees on NL.
Having said that, I think the action of Fashola is both legally and morally wrong. This write - up is an eye- opener to the war the rich - thieves wage on innocent, honest nigerians marooned to poverty island.
However, I can't stop wondering why a part of nigeria make begging a religious duty, a trade initiated into as Alimajiris teaching innocent children the act of laziness and poor self worth. This stupid religious practice, has ill - affected part of yorubaland where islam is predominant. I have never seen an igbo man begging, from one street to another (may be I have not travelled far enough to see one). Igbo people are hard-working home and abroad.
I would like Femi Falana and other human right activists to rise up, as usual to go a step further by taking a legal action against Fasola and his evil cohorts. Any nigerian should live, work, and fare freely in any part of the country as spelt out by law. We do not want an elitist Boko Haram in yorubaland. Rauf aregbesola and Ishaq Ajimobi themselves muslims should emulate their Ondo and Ekiti counterparts to start re - orietating their citizens on the issue of street begging.

Silly ass

Get a copy of Satanic Verses of Salmon Rusdie, you will find your answer there. Or let Boko Haram leader explain to you. Aslam alykum

afroluciferans: It would have been better to have factories and industrial complexes in the place of these so called auditoriums set up to hoodwink the simple minded

You guys with crippled minds love to criticise men of God and individuals who make the society better. You choose not to see thousands who earn their living in the church, thousand that are healed, thousands of community social services (mostly not advertised as politicians and NGOs or clubs), many hardened criminals and drug addicts rehabilitated, many turned pastors and many other good things. Is it the responsibility of pastors to build factories producing what?

Police are hunting a radical
Muslim preacher wanted in
connection with an acid attack
on two British teenagers in
Zanzibar.
Sheikh Issa Ponda Issa was
cornered by officers near Dar
es Salaam in Tanzania, but
managed to escape and is now
on the run.
He was hit in the shoulder with
a tear-gas canister during the
altercation, according to local
police in Morogoro - the scene
of the clash.
Police commander Faustine
Shilogile said: "He has not been
arrested. He has been shot at.
We have been looking for him
in all corners of the country."
He added: "We are no closer to
finding who was responsible for
this. But this is a serious police
investigation, and we are doing
everything we can."
Five men are also being
questioned by officers,
according to the authorities.
News of the preacher's escape
came as it emerged that one of
the two men involved in the
unprovoked attack "smiled"
before throwing acid.
Speaking from Zanzibar,
medical student Olivia Moore
told Channel 4 News: "The two
men were on a moped and
they went past a group of
tourists.
"They stopped for the girls and
the two men then looked at
each other, nodded and then
the man on the back of the
bike smiled and threw acid on
the girls.
"From then on it's just chaotic.
There was no incident that
preceded the actual attack.
"Everyone was shocked.
Nobody can think of a
motivation or anything that
precipitated this."
Victims Katie Gee, and Kirstie
Trup, both 18 and from
London, are still being treated
for burns at Chelsea and
Westminster Hospital after
arriving home on Friday.
They are said to be "well
rested and comfortable".
A hospital spokesman said:
"They have been with their
families all day. Doctors are
continuing to assess treatment
options for both patients."
The pair were attacked as they
walked across a road on
Wednesday night.
They had been nearing the end
of a trip working as volunteer
teachers on Zanzibar, a
predominantly Muslim island in
the Indian Ocean.
Witnesses have spoken of their
desperate attempts to wash
the acid off the two girls before
they were rushed to hospital.
A picture released by the
teenagers' families shows one
appears to have extensive acid
burns on her chin, neck and
upper chest.
It is thought one of the girls is
not as badly injured as the
other because she was helped
into the sea immediately after
the attack.
They had apparently been due
to return to the UK to collect
their A-level results next week.
Miss Trup is hoping to study
history at the University of
Bristol and Miss Gee is
considering the University of
Leeds, according to reports.
Meanwhile, Tory MP Bill Cash,
who sits on the all-party
parliamentary group for
Tanzania, has urged the
Foreign Office to further
upgrade its travel warning for
tourists visiting both Zanzibar
and Tanzania because it was
"more than just an ordinary
criminal event".
The Foreign Office updated its
Tanzania travel advice page on
Friday with details of the attack
and warns British nationals to
"take care" and read its travel
advice.
Mr Cash said: "People need to
be extra vigilant and the
Foreign Office and High
Commission need to make a
very thorough evaluation of the
threat, as these latest attacks
would seem to be on religious
grounds.
"The threat to tourists going to
Tanzania and Zanzibar needs
to be upgraded without doubt."

'zip want to buy nigeria made bicycle foe my boy first .

Good thinking, I do'!t think Nigeria will ever get to that. SW may in the nearest future in Ibadan for instance you could become the king with a long stay there. Lateef Islanded former governor of Lagos is said to hail from Kwara. The immediate past LG chairman in my LGA hailed from a neighbouring state. He contested on was judged by competence, contributions, and character and was voted in. In the north where I live I do not see such happening in the forseeable future. Eastern Nigeria? I sincerely do not know much about them except in the market.

Sovereign national conference not amendment or inclusion: total overhaul of the northern constitution.

olabowale: @Huxley and company: Lesson from the Great Trial of Sacrifice:

One of the things that the Hujjaj (the pilgrims to the house of God for Hajj) do on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, and so do many Mu/sli/ms all over the world is to:

Slaughter a lamb, or a sheep, or a goat or a camel in remembrance of this great sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (AS).

This act is not mere a ritual but it has a meaning and a significance. Al/lah (SWT) has not commanded us to sacrifice animals because He (SWT) is bloodthirsty or meat hungry.

In Suratul Hajj, verses 36 and 37, He (SWT) has made it clear:

"Thus we have disposed them (animals) for your benefit so that you may give thanks." (22:36)

Then He (SWT) adds:

"It is not their flesh or their blood that reaches All/a/h. Rather it is your piety that reaches Him. Thus has He disposed them for your benefit so that you may magnify Al/la/h for His guiding you. And give good news to the virtuous." (22:37)

So what is the significance of offering sacrifice of animals on this day of Eid Al-Adha?

The answer to this question is simple.

A/lla/h (SWT) wants to train us to follow the path of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) who was willing to offer A/ll/ah (SWT) his dearest possession in form of his son Prophet Ismail (AS).

Al/l/ah (SWT) did not want Prophet Ismail (AS) to be sacrificed, but A/ll/a/h (SWT) wanted Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to show his willingness to (do away with worldly things and therefore acquire a greater relationship which is rewarding with his Lord) sacrifice Prophet Ismail (AS), which he (AS) did bravely.

Dr. Ali Shari'ati in his book, 'Philosophy of Hajj' writes and I quote:

"This is a story of man's perfection and his freedom from selfishness and animalistic desires. It is man's ascension to a higher spirit and loves, to a strong will that frees him from any thing that may hinder his responsibility as a conscious man."

In other words, A/l/la/h (SWT) is telling us:

On this day of Eid Al-Adha, you should select your Ismail and bring him to Mina! Who is your Ismail? Anything that is causing an obstruction for you to reach your Lord and fulfill your duties towards Him. Your Ismail could be:

Your wealth
Your job
Your rank
Your power
Your lust
Your greed
Your spouse
Your children

It could be anything and make sure that it is as dear to you as Prophet Ismail (AS) was to Prophet Ibrahim (AS).

As you are sacrificing an animal on this day, bear in mind that you are infact, sacrificing that dearest thing in your life and telling A/l/l/ah (SWT):

"O My Lord! Henceforth, this thing, which has been dearest to me in life, will not hinder me from reaching You and acquiring Your pleasure."

Imam Zainul Abideen (AS), talking about the significance of each and every ritual that is performed during Hajj, asked Shibli:

"As you slaughtered your sacrificial animal (during Hajj), did you intend to cut off the throat of greed (that is hidden in you) by clinging to the reality of Taqwa and to follow the exemplary tradition of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) who intended to slaughter his dear son Prophet Ismail (so as to discharge the command of Al/la/h)?"

Shibli said, "No!"

"In that case" said the Imam Zainul Abideen (AS) "You have not sacrificed your animal."

Similarly, whilst giving instructions to the Hujjaj (the pilgrims to the house of God for Hajj) Imam Jafar Sadiq (AS) said to them: "Cut the throat of carnal desires and greed by offering animal sacrifice."

We pray to A/l/la/h (SWT) on this great day of Eid Al-Adha to grant us with tawfeeq to follow in the path of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and forgive all our past and future sins.
