Fahdiga:
Nigerians are eagerly expecting the UK government to impose heavy sanctions and seize UK properties of officials of this despotic regime coupled with visa ban

UK has a lot to lose. They wont dare. Kanu is a Nigerian by birth and British by naturalisation. Consular assistance means nothing, it is just to ensure he has a fair hearing. Nigeria is a sovereign state with lot of leverages on UK.

Ladoja kept quiet all this while. Now that the FG picked his bodyguard up, he came out to say rubbish. Come and declare amnesty for them. Your home boy is a goner , just like Kanu.

Agboriotejoye:
Am I seeing well?

By this ur statistic, Buhari performed worse than Shagari whose govt he toppled.

He actually left Nigeria worse than he met it

Obviously you are NOT seeing well. We were comparing Buhari and IBB administration which you claimed IBB did well than Buhari. I gave you the fact you moved on to Shagari.

This marks the end of my conversation with you.

10 wrong places to look for love in Nigeria

Please, drop your views on what you think about this topic below.

What about church. You missed that part.

Agboriotejoye:
That's a tepid lie

Can you now give me your truth after reading this :

Buhari's reign as head of state : December 1983 to August 1985
Babangida's reign as Head of state : August 1985 to August 1993

Buhari inherited economic growth of -10.92% in 1983 and left it as 5.91 % in 1985
Buhari inherited per capital of $1,223 in 1983 and left it as $883 in 1985
Buhari inherited GDP of $97.09B in 1983 and left it as $73.75B in 1985

IBB inherited economic growth of 5.91% in 1985 and left it as -2.04 % in 1993
IBB inherited per capital of $883 in 1985 and left it as $270 in 1993
IBB inherited GDP of $73.75B in 1985 and left it as $27.75B in 1993

Note: Buhari inherited battered economy while IBB had oil windfall.

Agboriotejoye:
You guys just jump in and defend nonsense.
Can you tell us what exactly he achieved in those two years he was there that justified the cruelty?

How much ethical conduct and personal discipline has he instilled in his children that he wants to instill on the citizens of a nation as if they are kids?

So how has the programs benefited the nation for the past six years since he took over.
Just as then, it is now. Economy has tanked and blames are being shared while the person at the helm refuses to take responsibility.

At the sign of a headache he runs to UK while leaving the state House in his backyard without ordinary panadol.

So much for ethical conduct and personal discipline!!

Olodo, economy grew under Buhari as head of state compared to IBB that took over after him.

Aurelius1:
Who will be the new freedom fighter? As it stands, only the Niger Delta militants that can successfully bring Buhari to his knees, but give one of them contract now dem go stop agitation. That's the problem with Nigeria; greed.

Since you indirectly implied that you were different from others, why don't you be that incorruptible "freedom fighter" instead of outsourcing the role to someone else? . What do you think?

Agboriotejoye:
What looting took place during shagari's govt. Educate us pls.
The you're defending has said it multiple times that he threw members of that govt in jail and declared them guilty until proven innocent.
Let's apply that logic to his ADC's 2.8m suitcase saga. Does he look clean now?

Lot of looting and corruption took place under Shagari's administration. NPN was a thuggish and corrupt party then. Buhari came in as Head of State , not president. Military doesnt rule by constitution but fiat and decree. Constitution is automatically suspended, so if they suspect you of anything, you will be arrested first before trial.

Johnnygill:
He has no case to answer by the way, go and arrest bandits and Boko Haram sect, Hmmmmm

Says a charge and bail lawyer

A disgrace of a lawyer. Too late, your client has been exposed as a lily livered, a coward!

What a spectacle it will be, seeing the man who claims to have charms, being paraded in cuffs by the same FG he has sworn to destroy .

Zieus:
Lemme ask you a honest question and please answer honestly
Killing Shekau has that stopped or disbanded boko haram (No)
Kanu was the pioneer of Biafra, even if he's killed or locked away, another person would take his place and lastly do you think Arresting Sunday Igbogho would stop yoruba nation, you and I know the answer to that.
Why not talk to your slave masters let them address the root cause of all instead of this modus operandi they are using .

Killing Bin Laden did not stop the Talibans but his death was symbolic in the mix of things;

obaaderemi:
The MT guy is an illiterate . He knows nothing and is arguing blindly.
GDP growth in 1983 when Buhari took over was -10.
In 1984 when Buhari was still there, it was -1.
After Babangida took over it was+5.
By 1987 it was +7.
Buhari is a curse, no doubt about it. Always has been.
When we warned people then, they called us names. Now they are hungry.

I will respond to you again for the last time so that you dont mislead others reading your doctored submission . Firstly, an illiterate is defined as someone that is unable to read and write. You goofed by calling me an illiterate. I know you are badly educated, so it was not dissapointing but expected.

Two, you were brandishing fake statistics to justify your false narrative. Please allow me to school you a bit:

Buhari's reign as head of state : December 1983 to August 1985
Babangida's reign as Head of state : August 1985 to August 1993

Buhari inherited economic growth of -10.92% in 1983 and left it as 5.91 % in 1985
Buhari inherited per capital of $1,223 in 1983 and left it as $883 in 1985
Buhari inherited GDP of $97.09B in 1983 and left it as $73.75B in 1985

IBB inherited economic growth of 5.91% in 1985 and left it as -2.04 % in 1993
IBB inherited per capital of $883 in 1985 and left it as $270 in 1993
IBB inherited GDP of $73.75B in 1985 and left it as $27.75B in 1993

While you are looking at this figure, look at the growth that Buhari inherited, a pointer to the bad economy he inherited. IBB inherited a healthy economy, yet ruined it despite the oil windfall that happened during his regime.

Lastly, let me quote you again:

"When we warned people then, they called us names. Now they are hungry."

I am sorry you are not in a position to advise people on economic matter because you are such a knuckle head. You need to go back to school and be properly coached on economic indices. You are so pathetic and numbskull. Stop giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it.

Ayomi90:
Yea, also ordained ministers should not be paid salaries, it is Gods work nd should be free. Why don't pastors have their own Job? Not written in d bible that pastors should be jobless.

God bless you.

Nigeria is suffering from brain drain. Most of our young ones who are sharp in brain are taking the easy way out; joining a church to become a pastor.

VicM6:
Nawa o, the day wey pastor's start to dey receive salary na dat day church spoil..... imagine as den dey transfer pastors go different branches like say na military job..... shebi na person wey wan join pastor for all dis big big church go hear am.

The sad thing is that the children of the GOs are never posted to any remote areas. They are always posted abroad or one posh branch in Nigeria to pastor.

obaaderemi:
At least life was easier for ordinary Nigerians under Babangida than Buhari.
With his fake corruption fights, what did Buhari achieve?
What policy did he have in the 80s that could have helped our economy?
At the end of the day, it's about the economy. And your Buhari has always failed consistently.

With this response, I can rate you intellectually where you belong. A head of state was looting and spending our commonwealth frivolously instead of saving, yet you claimed life was "easier" under his government.

I'm done having a conversation with you.

Ishilove:
This submission from Hymar Idibie David encapsulates my thoughts.


https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4384095461629254&id=100000865297273

I have a few simple questions.

Do you guys ever feel happy if you preach and your converts choose to attend another church?. Does it have to be about attending your church at all cost or about winning souls for the kingdom?

What happens to "...where 2 or 3 people are gathered in my name, there I will be with them," The bible doesn't say where "hundred and thousands" are gathered.

If you are doing God's business as you claim, why don't you allow God to take care of his business?. Why introducing worldly mindset to influence the business of God? Just asking.

obaaderemi:
Don't twist things. Nigeria was harder under Buhari than under Babangida.
Austerity measures was the order of the day during Buhari's regime.

Always be a student of history. There was a windfall gulf money during IBB era which he was meant to save for Nigeria but his government lavished it. Reason why late Gani Fawehinmi of blessed memory fought him hard in various courts.

IBB institutionalized corruption in Nigeria. Can't you see the international community abandoned IBB without giving him any role to play in the world?.

Ray02:
Apart from the guns that were claimed to be found in his house. Pls, mention one of those destructions sir.

Come to ibadan, and learn how violent igboho has always been. Have you asked yourself how he got money to build his mansion without any identifiable business ?.

He is never in position to agitate and lead Yoruba out of Nigeria.

Come to think of it, you all want a new Yoruba nation, what about those of us that still want to be part of Nigeria?. Do you want to force your new nation on us, guilty of the same thing you are accusing of Nigeria of.

Igboho, who claims to have mythical power has been reduced to nothing by the might of the FG.

Ellasure:
Yoruba people leadership should get in touch with the Benin Republic authorities to ensure that even if they want to release Sunday Igboho to the Nigerian authorities they should do so on terms aggred to by all parties and no hurt should come to chief Sunday Igboho during his subsequent detainment and trial.

The trials should be public and witnessed.

There are no criminal allegations against the chief yet, to my best knowledge.

Dey there let pants dey wear you. Individuals like you kept pushing him on, while you sit inside your house.

You underestimate the resources available to the FG. Now Igboho, a man with violent and blood stained past, will know the true meaning of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

So called freedom fighter that kept deceiving his supporters that he was at his house, meanwhile he has run away to Cotonou.

He is a disgrace. All his gra gra has ended in handcuffs and plenty of beating that awaits. His charms failed him. He should have disappeared. LoL

After God, fear the Government.

Ibkhaleel:
Nobody is intimidating the Igbos and relegating them to the background as 3rd-Class Citizens.

It is the domineering spirit & the Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) inherent in every Igbo that is responsible for your illusions & self-inflicted problems.

You are the real problem of Nigeria

Spoiling the image of the nation and giving it a bad name but your people peddle lies on the social media numerous Lies & Propaganda. Foolish Dubious & Criminally-Minded Lots!

It is okay to cheat and swindle people but whenever the consequences of your actions return to hunt you, you will begin to dish out lies & propaganda just to attract sympathy.

You go into crime, make little money and then start jumping up & down with your gra-gra & gri-gri complex, thereby attracting the attention of the Law Enforcement Authorities.

It is that same complex or disorder that made your people buy flight tickets to Dubai, UAE to go rob more than 10 Bureau De Change outlets in broad day light.

The same way Nnamdi Kanu placed an 100 Million Naira bounty on the head of a sitting Governor (Wike) for him to be killed.

Now that the vacuous bastard is in custody; If I were that Governor (Wike) and as vengeful as I am, what stops me from bribing some high-ranking DSS Operatives to poison him to death in detention just to get even?

I sincerely pray that you people get your Biafra but trust me, there won't be any great deal of difference between your utopian Nation & Somalia.

This is why we keep saying that majority of you people lack emotional intelligence and always do things with gra-gra & gri-gri.

You blame everybody for your woes except yourselves. Just like how iPob is blaming Wike for sponsoring the abduction & rendition of Lamidi Cownu from Kenya back to Nigeria, forgetting that you already declared him as your enemy by placing a bounty on his head.

You always act before you think and leap before you look. Anyways, that is his problem.

You will go and incite trouble and then start screaming blue-murder when the consequence of your actions boomerang; And that is when you will remember and start tagging CNN, BBC, ICC, USA, Donald Trump, Israel, & Amnesty International.

Nobody hates the Igbos. It's just a simple natural law of "reaping what you sow" that is in play.

You can't sow guava and expect to reap pineapple. Never!

Ancient wisdom teaches that Action begets Reaction, Cause begets Effects and Sequence begets Consequence.

You cannot be cursing & insulting every other ethnicity in Nigeria day and night, and expect all your hateful seeds not to germinate in them.

Lastly, when the NDLEA finally bursts Trafficking syndicates, woe betides any Igbo that cry witchhunt or victimization because majority of you are naturally brain-dead from birth, and that is why all the prisons in the world are populated by your people

Can I have a 1,000,000 likes for this dude?

kense88:
A tout you are, a tout you will always be, just like malam malami. You are questioning the legality of a British citizen, been able to employ the services of a British law firm and you want us to believe you are ok ? Are you even worthy to leave among humans ?

LoL. You are so funny. Consular assistance doesn't mean a British law firm will come to Nigeria to argue on his behalf. It is just to ensure he gets a fair trial and his human rights are respected during his trial . Even the UK govt won't pay a dime towards his legal service .

A bit of education will certainly help.

fergie001:
PUNCH

People need to be educated. Consular assistance simply mean the UK government will ensure his human rights are not trampled upon during his trial.

For people thinking it might mean military intervention, you are joking.

With this news coming from Punch, a known foe of the FG, I smell big lies. There is no big deal in granting a citizen consular access. Punch is being sensational and his charge and bail lawyer being mischievous.

.

People should stop this reporting to international court as if UN will come and overrun Nigeria.

South Africa withdrew from International court and nothing happened. Nigeria reserves the right to withdraw from ICC if she deems it fit. Even US has a complicated relationship with ICC. No US president can be tried in Hague and no American citizen can be tried for an offence committed on the US soil.

helpee:
so until they post him to sambisa you won't be satisfied. You guys are pathetic. At least he is not in Lagos, Abuja or even heading their branches in europe

You are a zombie. So those ones being posted to sambisa offends God. You don't have to be in Lagos or Abuja before you can live like you are in a paradise in Nigeria.

You better wake up and smell the coffee

stancydg:
Was Pastor Adeboye's son that died posted overseas? Stop hasty generalisations.

Read what I wrote carefully. I hate referring to the dead. However, late Dare was an assistant pastor in charge of Region (Youth) 35 in Eket. Does that sound like one branch in a remote part of Eket to you?

Check all the GO's children, they are either pastoring abroad or carefully placed in one posh branch.

chyzoo4u:
I don't know how this sound to people's ears but it irritates me badly. Like, "he was sacked for not being effective in evangelism" how does that sound?

Do you think Jesus will do same? Even if that's the reason, what happens to praying for the pastors and giving them more training? Or is this what prayers cannot do?

People left even while Jesus our Lord was preaching on earth with only His disciples remaining, and He asked why they're still with Him, why didn't they leave too.

The Bible says even if no one will praise God He'll raise up stones to praise Him. Must there be population growth in Church before you know that you're winning souls? Can't someone win a soul that is attending another Church?

Besides, it's not everyone that was preached to will repent. God knows about this when He says when you go to preach the gospel and weren't accepted by a house, you should dust your foot and leave.

Mind you, these Pastors started working in the Lord's vineyard just last year, and in one year or so they're thrown out for poot growth index.

Let's be careful with what we defend.

God bless you. Let the people defending Oyedepo tells us where ALL his children are pastoring . Some are abroad and some are in high profile branches. Their own anointing forbids them to be posted to villages to pastor churches. In Nigeria, once Daddy is called by "God", their children MUST be called as well automatically.

The biggest export after crude oil is religion in Nigeria. Yet where are we as a nation?. You call the Chinese infidels, yet they are competing economically with the United States. Nigeria is a country where your pastors will tell you your security is in the hands of holy spirit, yet they have well armed security personnels guarding them.

There will truly be shocks in afterlife, as bible states.

helpee:
Exactly...so if oyedepo is so hardworking that he could build his[b] business [/b] that much, I don't see any reason why he should tolerate any other lazy employee. Therefore, oyedepo didn't do anything wrong in sacking an unproductive employee.. case closed

The bolded is quite instructive.

helpee:
You will need to answer this question first. Who employs the pastor? God or Oyedepo? If it is God, God will pay him since only God can appreciate whatever he does. Only God knows how many souls he saved in heaven. If you are now saying it was oyedepo that employed.. where do you expect oyedepo to get money to pay him? Since this is purely God's work, I expect you to condemn the pastor that was sacked not the one that sacked him..He expects another man to pay him for doing God's work. Does that makes any sense to you? Finally, you are asking me for a quotation about pastors in the Bible....There were no pastors per see in the Bible. There were priests.....and they were paid from the tithes by members of the congregation not by salary from a senior pastor. Even in the New testament.....the members brought everything they had to the church so it was shared. Bottom line is that it is not possible to pay or feed a pastor according to the Bible without members. Now that the church is empty...why should the pastor be paid by a senior pastor? Show me a reference in the Bible where it was the senior pastor that was paying salary to the junior pastor heading empty churches? Oyedepo did not sack him from church ..he only sacked him from collecting salary and since we are all doing this for God and not money, the pastor shouldn't be complaining

Nice submission. Maybe all this complexity would have been resolved if Oyedepo has not sat on church money from day 1. Maybe if Oyedepo has an identifiable business from the day he founded the church and not earning salary from the church but just preach and go to his regular job, maybe it would have been better.

So in a way we both align in our perspective that this is a business gone wrong between the pastor and Oyedepo.

wirinet:
Exactly! I had though that it was written in the Bible that "where two or three is gathered in my name, I would be in their midst". I now realize that it's about Church Growth Index.

This is a very good reference. The bible says two or three gathered in my name. See the threshold that is even stated in the bible!, Not thousands or millions gathered in my name.

Christianity has gone to the dogs in Nigeria.
