premium tears kill you there.

Godfatherism in a sin in Edo, the state is what is it today as a result of godfatherism.

Godfatherism has always been in Edo under the aeges of the Igninedions and co. The only problem is that power was changing hands because they proved to be failures.

TooMuchStuff:
Which stupid politics do you think the north is playing? Politic of Nepotism and Islamization??

Na you sabi politics pass OBJ ?? Is he not tired of Hausafulanikanuri yeye politics of parasitism now?

Whether you like to admit it or not, northerners are better politicians than the rest of Nigeria. And that is partly due to Godfatherism.

What makes Obaseki's case worse is that it was Oshiomole that single-handedly picked him and in less than 4 years he has already turned against him without performing anything substantial.

Clearly he is not loyal.

If there's anything you need to run from in life, it's disloyalty.

Bizibi:
for obaseki to bring in investors to put up a modular refinery in olobo and a generating electricity.... without the people knowing they are on ground even the presidency sent people from abj to verify it.a dss agent I know called to confirm if it is true before they came to verify it and you want Edo people to dump obaseki and go for someone with no agenda.

Has their electricity improved?

PharmaGirl:
For me, I have two of them

1.Believers Authority by Kenneth Hagin
2.You've already got it by Andrew Wommack.

These books changed my perspective on Christianity.
I didn't know that we Christians have rights and privileges that accrue to us as a result of the New Birth until I read Kenneth Hagin's 'Believers Authority'. Boy! Was I wowed!

Wommack is on another level altogether. He made me understand that Christianity is not just going to church. There are levels to this spirituality.

Another book worthy of mention here is 'Understanding how to fight the good fight of faith' by Kenneth Hagin. Lol, yes I love Kenneth Hagin. Learned so much from his books.

Over to you, what's yours?
You can also suggest a few for us.

After reading all these books on faith authority and prosperity, what have you accomplished though?

Do you know that even the apostles did not know if their names were in the book of life?

IkpuNnegiEwu44:
[[s]quote author=Myer post=94112083]

Are you voting for Oshiomole or Ize iyamu?
Yes Oshiomole might influence him in the beginning but his power is waning already.

I didn't support Ize Iyamu initially cos we know politicians are all the same. But after watching their debate and Obaseki could not even mention any tangible performance while Ize Iyamu spoke so much sense even from his minor roles in public office, I knew Obaseki was going to be a weist.[/s]



Which sense did Ize Iyamu speak? Attacking the Governor is sense to you?

Obaseki: POI, in the face of the prevailing Covid 19 that has affected funds for development, where do you intend to raise the fund for your simple agenda which in one year is over 500 billion.


POI: I am not a wasteful Governor like you ....bla bla bhjjgdadtrjkjvssejjjv...vxsfagjkdgbj.. ...feghjkbf

Is this what you call making sense?


May sentimental analysis depart from you.

As an incumbent, debate should be a walk over for you because you only have to point out your performance and achievements. Obaseki had nothing to point out. He sounded like a first time contestant, "I will do this and that" when he should have been reminding his electorates what he had done.

I lost hope in him when Ize Itamu even mistakenly praised him on security votes only for him to still correct Ize Itamu that he was wrong that he invested very little on security, in a state that was raided by kidnappers and armed robbers especially along the Benin-Ore axis.

SmartPolician:
You are pro-APC

Don't pretend about it

Sorry for your loss

I'm pro-performance.
In Oyo, I'm pro-PDP.
In Lagos, I'm pro-APC
In Anambra, I'm pro-APGA.

When Nigerians start seeing beyond parties and vote based on credentials, we'll see the dividends of democracy.

But unfortunately, most are swayed by the politicking. And that's why we keep suffering for it.

4teenblaq:
I see no vision in oshiomhole with his miscreants..

imagine someone you accused of a crime in the past, boom now you start defending him and supporting him because you have issues and difficulty with you son(obaseki)..

Are you voting for Oshiomole or Ize iyamu?
Yes Oshiomole might influence him in the beginning but his power is waning already.

I didn't support Ize Iyamu initially cos we know politicians are all the same. But after watching their debate and Obaseki could not even mention any tangible performance while Ize Iyamu spoke so much sense even from his minor roles in public office, I knew Obaseki was going to be a weist.

Great2017:
What has Bubu done?

Have you not sold your entire generation by voting in an old jackboot as a president?

So that's why you should continue making the same mistakes? Or the more reason you should try something else?

meetme01:
In as much as I agree with you on Obaseki's performance. I would appreciate if you can choose between performance and God fatherism.

To me, God fatherism kills a nation no matter how you define it. If it's not scuttled now, it will kill us.

On the issue of persons performance, leave that to the people in the next election. They would vote on performance when God fatherism has been killed.

If APC campaignee on performance and left God fatherism, trust me, Iyamu would be leading but bringing in Ganduje and Tinubu into the film really spoilt the day for Iyamu.

Gradually, we would get it right. At least no death was recorded and only few ballot snatching were reported.

Can you take God fatherism away from politics?
That's why the north keeps ruling Nigeria.

Even outside the shores of Nigeria, Godfatherism is practised.

In this case, Ize Iyamu has better credentials than Obaseki.
But Edo people have always been known for blind stubbornness.
They'll be the ones to suffer the consequences.

pdp cruising to victory..

e dey sweet me for body

Why e dey sweet you?

Obaseki clearly did almost nothing in Edo state in his first term, yet you're celebrating his second term. Don't you know that his second term is going to be worse since he has nothing to lose anymore?

Truly the problem of the country is not only the politicians but the average Nigerian who lacks vision.

You're only campaigning for Obaseki just to spite Oshiomole and APC, do you have sense at all?
Unless you're not from Edo state, otherwise you've sold your future already.

jesusjnr1:
You're a big liar Myer. Search "hell fire" in the Gospels to confirm that.

You can't expect to know the things of God from the outside because such knowledge is only given to those inside.

So unless you come inside, expect to be speaking ignorantly about it because the Truth is hidden from you.

What is the gospel?

jesusjnr1:
Stop fooling yourself.

Atheists like you do much worse just to argue foolishly and blaspheme against God in a religious section, and you don't talk about them becoming terrorists or having multiple personality disorder.

I had to create this new account because of spambot. It took me down three times yesterday, otherwise you would have gotten my response before now.

Maybe God is using the spambot to save you from hell fire. Since you're too stubborn/stiff-necked and you keep calling everyone who opposes you a fool.

Buliwyf:
Look at the guy that experienced God.
Nobody makes a mockery of Christianity worse than Christians.

Religion does that to people.

Christians by default have been told what to say when they see anyone raise doubts and voice the truth about unanswered prayers and how the bible isn't as reliable as claimed.

The truth us doubt and unbelief is more contagious than faith.

Just as muslims would kill any muslim who denounces Islam. The only difference is Christians may not kill you but ostracized such person.

You have said so much truth on this post but Christian's would rather deny their experiences cos they've been told never to doubt God.

Most believers have never heard God or heard Jesus but only through the bible or their pastors. Yet the bible says all believers will hear God through the Holyspirit.

DEROX:
wow I love this @sanwoeko
more grace to asisat she has been repping naija/barcelona so well.

Baba just dey dere dey catch cruise.
I hope he'll perform this first term atleast. Cos we know they only chop money in their 2nd term.

TooMuchStuff:
Thanks brother man

Oshiomole must be retired from Edo politics.

Edo no be Lagos

This is why the Northerners are ruling Nigeria.
They understand politics more that the rest of us.

jesusjnr1:
When the foolish think they're wise, foolishness becomes their wisdom.

Birds of the same foolishness foolishly flock together.

Keep using flimsy excuses to justify your foolishness.

Even Richard Dawkins, arguably the most reputable atheist alive, who argued so foolisly for a long time, had no choice to admit that people generally behave better when they know someone is watching them after having a survey proved this to be true. So atheists are no different.

Atheists are the biggest cowards in history.

They would be making noise up and an that God doesn't exist, but when faced with death because of their beliefs, they abandon atheism without even thinking twice about it.

Christians on the other hand, have proven that they are the most courageous group in the history of the world. The defied the whole might of Roman Empire without weapons. They kept the faith despite facing death and severe persecutions.

So atheists are not qualified to talk what Christians fear, they should be even ashamed when they see Christians, because in that respect, they are not mates by any standard.

Atheists would instantly become Christians or any other thing when faced with death.

The fear of death is the beginning of wisdom for the atheist.

How many accounts do you even run on NL?
Talk about multiple personality disorder.

I guess we should be glad you were not converted into islam, a religious fanatic like you would be a terrorist as a muslim.

Askme2020:
u are a man full of wisdom. many so called Christians are only practising because of the fear of hell fire or for the greediness of having 100storey build in heaven. remove the concept of heaven and hellfire and only put 'Love your neighbor as thy self' and watch as many leave Christianity.

Simple.
Neither Jesus nor his apostles preached salvation because of hell fire. They preached salvation as a solution to sin and eternal life.

If he can't preach messages that produce such results but centred on rapture and hell fire, he has already failed on the great commission of Mark 16:17. Acts 2:38-41

jesusjnr1:
I have already responded to the bolded in your other post which is only a figment of your imagination, but spambot took it down perhaps to delay the exposure of your foolishness, so you'd still confirm that if there's any one among both of us whose worst fears of going to hell fire were being renacted, it's actually you not me.

I mean, just go through your post and see how many times you've mentioned "visions of hell fire" even though you've never heard me speaking anywhere of having such visions or dreams, because I have never had one since I was born. Even this one which is about the rapture, this year 2020 is the first year I ever had one and this is the second time this year. Except you think rapture means the same thing as hell fire, then you have no idea what the rapture is about.

And who told you no atheist has ever had a vision/dream of hell fire? You're should be ashamed of yourself for falling for that glaring lie. You could have easily used Google to save you that embarrassment.

As for the Bible verse you quoted, can you tell me why "brother or sister" was used, instead of man or woman? That's to show you the saying doesn't apply to every man or woman but only "brothers and sisters" as Jesus viewed them.

Matthew 12:50
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my
brother, and sister, and mother.

So that's what Jesus meant by "brother and sister" in that saying, not those that do not the Will of God or the fools that would be denying the existence of their Maker. Hence Jesus Himself would call some fools because it is applicable in their respect.

"Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?" Luke 11:40

And this saying also comes from the Bible.

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." Psalms 14:1

So when I call those who deny the existence of God "fools", I am very correct. They are all fools!

Instead of deceiving yourself and looking for excuses to masquerade your worst fears, why not simply repent and stop being foolish.

Just so you'd know, I have also had a dream/vision of heaven, but of what benefit would that be to you?

Interesting, a man who knows his scriptures.
Like I always say, the bible is full of contradictions.
You can quote a scripture to support a notion and another scripture to oppose the notion. Which explains why there is so much confusion and division in the body of Christ.

In the scripture I posted, Matthew 5:22, which is an excerpt from the Sermon on the mount, Jesus was addressing both believers (His disciples) and unbelievers (mixed multitude). He did not differentiate who should be called a fool and who shouldn't. But maybe you know better than him.

Yes, Jesus himself got angry and called people fools, even his disciples, that only means he was human too. Doesn't make it right.
Like he said, you're already in the danger of hell fire.

It's interesting that you mentioned your vision of heaven. What I find weird is how you didn't feel confident enough to share that but felt confident to share your visions of rapture.
Mind you, none of the apostles saw visions of hell or rapture, they only shared their visions of heaven.

But then maybe you can only see visions of where you're bound for. But what do I know? I'm just a student of the bible, you're the expert.

beardlessdude:
God help me to stop being a homosexual. I have confirmed myself as a homosexual and not even bisexual or heterosexual to the slightest.

I don't want people to get violent towards me for something I have no control over.

Save me from my homosexuality, God.

I got nothing on this one.
Maybe try to see a therapist?

We live in a generation where the media is pushing homosexuality in our faces through movies and music. You have to be intentional to stay straight.
So try to avoid any such movies like Empire, Modern family etc.

jesusjnreloaded:
Lol! So you didn't mean it when you said you were leaving, and here was I thinking it was a good riddance.

Fools that think they have higher IQs not knowing their having IQs alone was a disgrace to the concept of having IQs.

So you'd know, it's extremely better to have a low IQ, than to be a fool like you and have a higher IQ which would hence be a waste of an IQ.

I already told you, you were lost, for what on earth could the dead be looking for in the thread of the living. So please get lost so you could find where you actually belong.

Matthew 5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court.
And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.


Now you see why you're seeing visions of hell fire?

Honchoslim16:
Goddamn mehn!


Are you minding that one?

Someone that is suffering from DELUSION OF ADEQUACY!

Period!

Religious delusion.
Yet when I ask him for a vision of heaven he has nothing to say.

jesusjnr2020:
Lol!

So even if you're very wrong, what if I serve God for fear of hell fire? What's you own there and how does it concern you?

Are you saying that the visions of heaven and it's glory would inspire you and make you believe? Then the visions of rapture should be able to do the same. Can't you see the glorious end? What compares to meeting with the Lord in the air?

You guys are just unbelievable. You just look for anything to justify your foolishness at rejecting the glaring Truth.

You're so afraid of death that you would pray a constructed sinner's prayer when it stares you at the face just as @queenlovely, who claims to be an atheist, did, and here you are hypocritically accusing me of serving God because of fear of hell fire which is a worse death that the death you fear the most.

Feel free to continue in your delusions but if you don't repent, when the time comes, you'd remember that not just me but many others warned you about a death much worse than the death you fear.

By the way, one of the reasons I repented and began to serve God was because I feared going to hell fire, but that was then because in the course of my serving God, I've come to know Him, and in knowing Him I've come to love Him so much. That's the reason I now serve Him, and I can't wait to be with Him.

So thank God for that fear of going to hell fire that led me to Him in the first place. That fear of going to hell is very good and I recommend it to you.

I actually got banned for replying this earlier so I'll try to be more civil.

Now, if you keep seeing vision of hell fire does that not already confirm that you're hell bound?
Think abourit (in Josh2funny's voice)

Also if you know anything about cerebral functionalities, you'll realise your dreams are only reenacting your worst fears.
Otherwise explain why atheists don't see visions of hell fire? If truly it were real.
Only religionists that have been brainwashed with the idea see such dreams and visions.

You should be more concerned that you do not see visions of heaven.

NaijaRoyalty:
You've done so well for yourself and your family.

God bless your career .

A BIG congratulations in advance to the People's governor , The Executive Governor of Edo State , Godwin Obaseki, on his election victory.

The worst type of Igbo is the lawyer.
Igbos are naturally stubborn people. Now imagine a stubborn igbo with legal backing

Chidexter:
The way you subtly shaded and praised the igbos here is legendary. I don't know whether to like or unlike this your post.

He only spoke the hard truth.
Igbos would go a long way if only they weren't so lacking in tact.
Proof that talent without attitude is just a weist.

ghettowriter:
Not only in the villages. Over here in the city peoply break up engagements everyday over this same Osu cast system.

That's because their relatives in the village are the ones that make it an issue. And they can't do anything major like weddings without them.

ghettowriter:
Stop the hate #OsuLivesMatter.


If you discriminate a person base on his/her ethnicity, race, religion, clan or family ties not in cognisant with the persons parsonality, then you are not a good person and also a part of the world's problems.

The people behind this are in the village and not on social media.
Culture is ingrained in every fibre of those villagers in the east.

donvoice:
The president of the first gospel drama ministry in Africa, Mike Bamiloye has also taken the turn after Pastor David Ibiyiome and Apostle Paul Eneche to shot back at Daddy Freeze in a very uncommon way by using Bible verse to buttress his point.

The controversial part is that, his scriptural backing cannot be pointed either as to other Minister's of the gospel of Daddy Freeze.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157266070556831&id=701031830

Isn't this one of the several contradictions in the bible?

First it says do not answer a fool.
Then it says answer a fool.

So which should you do?

MyOpinionNotUrs:
Freeze really fvucked up by apologizing to this dude.

Learn to understand.
Freeze did not apologize for arguing scriptural truths. He apologized for calling him names.

lekki1444:
nothing triggered his actions, he was ordained to kill her even before they were both born. he is an angel of death that was tied to her destiny. and he was supposed to kill her on a certain date. and then they were both born and as ordained their paths crossed and they got married and at the appointed time he shot her 7 times and CANCELLED her out. 7 is completion. he COMPLETED her mission on earth. She was paying for past life karma and that was her appointed angel of death who was appointed to CANCEL and COMPLETE 7 her. When i looked into his face when he said IF I DONT KILL HER I AM FAKE, i saw the death angel in his eyes get illuminated. he was activated right there and then by the ethers to undertake the mission. the sleeper cell was activated. the death angel sleeper cell

I can assure you that if not for religion, he wouldn't have murdered his wife. The poor lady would still be alive today.

I gave up when he said another pastor told him his wife was a witch. That right there sums up the whole case.
He started seeing the poor lady as the reason for his failures.

These pastors only see visions of problems and how to label people's wives, mothers and children witches but can't see visions of solutions.
What is the purpose of seeing problem if you cant8see the solution?

The pastor that called the wife a witch should also be arrested as an accomplice to the crime.
