ComradeAbu:No!! Rather, hypocrisy is when you tell us that Jonathan is clueless and you will crush boko haram in 2weeks of being president, but you have now been president for 6weeks, and boko haram is instead throwing more bombs and staging more attacks than they did during the last few months of Jonathan's administration! hypocrisy is when you tell us that you will stabilize the price of oil when you become president, and now that you are president, oil prices are still "unstabilized" and instead the Naira and economy have become worse! |

EbolaParasite:First of all, in as much as it sounds politically correct to say that anybody including the non-christian who prays to God five times a day throughout his life and continuously asks God for forgiveness would go to heaven, I'll like to shock you here with the harsh truth; the answer is NO! 1) Jesus clearly said in no ambiguous term "I am the way, the truth and the life, NO MAN CAN COME TO GOD EXCEPT THROUGH ME". Jesus was not drunk nor was He exaggerating when He made that statement. He was as serious about it as he was serious when He was raising Lazarus from the dead! 2) No man is qualified to come to God on his own because "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". Every man is born as a sinner, and a sinner cannot plead for himself. A guilty man needs an innocent man to plead on his behalf before a judge. That guilty man is us (mankind), that Judge is God, and that innocent advocate is Jesus Christ. This is why when God forgives us, it is not because of us, but because of who is pleading on our behalf (Jesus). So if you don't have the advocate and you try coming to the Judge directly to plead for yourself, you will never get the forgiveness you seek because you don't deserve it! Remember, our forgiveness from God is not because we deserve it, but because of who is pleading on our behalf. This is why Jesus made it clear that no man can come to God except through Him. This is also the same reason why a christian who asks for forgiveness from God always gets it if the person is repentant about what he did. 3) You need to understand what "The Grace of God" is and who The Holy Spirit is. If you understand these two, you will discover that IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO LIVE AS A CHRISTIAN AND BE FAR FROM SIN. It doesn't happen by your power, but by "The Grace of God" and The help of The Holy Spirit. The bible said "follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man can see God". That means God wants all men to live holy. If God demands for man to live holy, then it means it is possible for man to live holy because God is not wicked to ask man to do what he has not given man the ability to do. But the secret is this; that ability to live a holy life lies in The Grace of God and The presence of The Holy Spirit. Without this, you can never live a holy life by your own effort no matter how hard you try. Not sure i can explain all the details in writing here now, but the summary is this; The blood of Jesus can and will wash away the sins of any believer who repents and asks for forgiveness from any sin committed, no matter how many sins the person committed, but The Grace of God which comes by a close fellowship with The Holy Spirit is what empowers a christian to live above sin and live a holy life. Yes......it is possible to be a young christian, unmarried, and yet living a holy life. This is not story-telling, I am an example of it. I know the difference in my life between now and when i did not understand the Grace of God and as a result was always struggling to live a holy life without much success. |
davien:You may need to first pick up a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word "religion". That meaning you see in the dictionary is not representative of what Jesus came for here on earth. If God wanted religion from man, then He would not have bothered sending Jesus into an already deeply religious Jewish society! Genuine christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Yes.....too many people practice christianity as a religion, and those are the people that claim to be christians without even understanding what it means, those are the people you see that call themselves christians but they are also as corrupt as other "sinners", those are also the kind of people you see many a time in political positions that go to churches on sunday, but they are among those stealing the nation's wealth through corruption, etc etc. Like i said earlier, i have practiced christianity as a religion before, and i know the difference between then and now. I repeat it again; I am not religious. I will never be religious again in my life! Religion takes man away from God while Relationship brings man close to God. They are 2 different things, and I've chosen Relationship! I know you are used to seeing everything about God as "religion", and that is because human tradition has made it appear that way. I once thought of it like you before, until i encountered the tangibility of God and got to know Him beyond the story books. Religion keeps God in the story books, but relationship takes Him out of the story books and makes Him real to you. You don't have to like being "preached at" to know the truth. The truth here is that you have no idea yet about what a relationship with God means, and that's why you are so inclined to class it as religion cos it's the way you're used to seeing it. The day you understand what a relationship with God is, you will see the difference in your life, and you will start noticing it from an unexplainable joy and satisfaction and peace that will fill up the vacuum in your heart. But until you find that relationship, i can assure you that you'll keep searching and none of those things you engross yourself in will fill up the void within........not even too much money or pleasure! |
EbolaParasite:.....yes indeed, NO ONE ON EARTH CAN MAKE IT TO HEAVEN ORDINARILY, because no matter how much you try as a human being, you must still offend God in one way or another whether knowingly or unknowingly. This is why anybody tbat must make it to heaven needs LEVERAGE.......and that LEVERAGE is THE BLOOD OF JESUS! The Blood of Jesus is what cleanses our sins. Just like in the days of our ancestors in Africa, when a taboo is committed and the land "defiled", you will hear the chief priest say that "the gods are angry, and they must be appeased by a sacrifice". The sacrifice is usually in form of blood spilled by killing an animal or in some extreme cases a human being, and when the blood is spilled, the land is "cleansed" and the gods stop being angry for a while. This is a similar principle to what the blood of Jesus does for any christian who believes in Christ. When a christian sins or offends God, all he needs to do is to apply his leverage by genuinely asking God for forgiveness and simply saying "I receive cleansing of my sins by the Blood of Jesus". The moment he does that, God is under obligation to forgive him and cancel his sins immediately. Note: In such situations, God is obliged to forgive that person, not because the person deserves it, but ONLY because Jesus has made the payment for that forgiveness. What I just described sounds so simple, but that is the truth and that is the only way a christian can live on earth and make it to heaven. This way, even if the christian makes a mistake 1000times a day, and for each of those 1000times he GENUINELY is sorry and asks for forgiveness from God, he will still get the forgiveness and all his sins will be wiped off and in God's sight, he appears like a man who has no sin! This is the mystery of the Leverage the blood of Jesus provides to everyone who believes in Christ. This is why a christian can go to heaven, because although he may have sinned many times on earth, yet he asked for forgiveness each time he sinned and the blood of Jesus wiped off his sin and made him appear sinless before God. This is why i earlier put it to you that it is not your "good works" or "good life" that makes you qualified to go to heaven, but your relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The ordinary mind may think what i explained sounds too simple to be true, but that is just how simple God has made salvation to be, so that everybody can be saved. It sounds simple, but it came at a heavy cost. It cost the life of Jesus for salvation/going into heaven for mankind to be as simplified as this. This is why nobody has an excuse anymore to give to God if he dies and ends up in hell as a result of rejecting the free gift of God's salvation through Christ. |
davien:Ok......thanks. But can I shock you a bit by telling you a little bit about me? I AM NOT RELIGIOUS. I HATE RELIGION. GOD HATES RELIGION! RELIGION IS ONE OF THE WORST CAUSES OF PROBLEMS ON EARTH TODAY. God does not seek religion from man, but rather a relationship! God is love, and He loves to express Himself. The best way you express yourself to somebody you love is by having a relationship with the person. This is simply what God seeks from us and nothing more! Religion makes man think he can find God by obeying a set of rules & regulations to please God, but that is a lie! God already knows that man is too fallible for him to be able to keep all the rules required to meet up to God's high standards, and that is why Jesus came to pay the price for our sins and bridge the gap between man and God. As a result of this, any man can now have access to God by simply entering into a relationship with Jesus who is qualified to take him to God! Religion makes you think you can find God by trying to obey rules that even the people who set those same rules can't even keep, where as genuine christianity is about a love relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Religion leaves you in a state where you are always STRUGGLING TO STOP YOURSELF FROM DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO BUT YOU KNOW IS WRONG BEFORE GOD......AND MOST TIMES YOU STILL END UP DOING THEM, where as A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST PUTS YOU IN A POSITION WHERE YOU ARE SO IN LOVE WITH GOD, THAT YOU JUST WANT TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PLEASE HIM, YOU GET SO IN LOVE WITH GOD, THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN STAND THE THOUGHT OF HURTING HIM BY DOING WHAT HE DOES NOT LIKE. ALL YOUR HEART'S DESIRE BECOMES HOW TO PLEASE GOD. I have been on both sides of the divide, and i know the difference. Practicing christianity as a religion was such a frustration for me, until i fell in love with God and understood it should be all about a relationship with him and not about Rules & regulations. That was when i knew it was possible to live as a christian without always falling into sin. The foundation of my relationship with God is my understanding of God's love for me. When I realized that Jesus loved me enough to give up his innocent life in a shameful death just for my sake, and just so that I can be saved by identifying with his price paid for my sin, it was just natural for me to love him back in return. Deep inside the heart of everyman including atheists lies a void or craving that nothing else can fill except a relationship with God. Some people try to avoid God and think they can fill up that vacuum or internal loneliness by engaging in activities, some try to fill it up by pursuing more money, some try to fill it up by drinking or smoking or sex or fame & popularity, but at the end of the day, they discover all of those things will only give a temporary happiness, and they keep searching for other things again. This is why some rich people keep hustling for more money, thinking internal satisfaction would come by having more money.......but it doesn't!! Only a relationship with God through Jesus can bring that internal peace and satisfaction. Many Rich and famous people that most people dream to be like have ended up committing suicide because they did not find what would fill that internal void in man that only God is designed to fill. |
EbolaParasite:Dear Ebola, you sound as if you already own one of the spare keys to the gates of heaven, and you can enter according to your own rules, whenever you like........hmmmm. The problem is that many people like you think your good works are enough to take you to heaven. Let me indulge you a bit; Heaven is a place where no iota of sin is allowed, no matter how small. If you must make it to heaven by your own good works & efforts at living a "good life", then you MUST ensure that from the moment you were born to the day you die, you will not commit any sin at all........and i mean not even 1 little sin!! You must make sure that you have never told a lie, you have never stolen, you have never fornicated or even looked lustfully at the opposite sex, you have never disrespected your elders at any point in your life.......and the list goes on. When you have lived your life to such precise perfection from the day you were born to the day you die, then be sure you are qualified to go to heaven based on your "good life". But if at any point in your life, you have ever committed any sin at all, or broken any of the commandments of God, then be sure you are DOOMED! God clearly states in the bible that if you break any of the commandments, then you have broken all!! If you keep 99.9% of God's commandments and fail in 0.1%, then you have failed all. Because God's marking system is either 100% or 0%. That is why God's standards are so high that you can never meet up with them as a natural human being trying to live a good life by yourself. God knew His standard was too high for man to meet up with, and that is why He made a provision by sending Jesus to pay the ultimate price to bridge the gap. Have you ever wondered why Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man can come to the father except through me" ?? The reason is because no human being can satisfy God's high standards, and so in order to come to God, man must depend on a relationship with Jesus who is qualified to take him to God.Jesus paid the price for our sins and took upon himself the punishment that was due to us (mankind) as a result of our sins. That is the basis (ONLY BASIS) on which any armed robber, killer, prostitue or any other sinner can be saved and forgiven by God IF THEY GENUINELY DECIDE TO REPENT AND ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS. In fact, the reason Jesus died was so that ALL Sinners can be saved and forgiven if they choose to repent, and Shina Rambo is not an exception. Only faith in the price of redemption paid by Jesus can save anybody, and not the person's good works. This is why "good people" who don't have a relationship with Christ can go to hell when they die, while people we consider as terrible sinners can repent two seconds before they die and go to heaven. In a nutshell, the issue of who makes it to heaven is decided by RELATIONSHIP! A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST OR NOT!! |
Lilimax:......the way you talk though :-/ "Raising Leaders That Transform Society" do you recognize that phrase? If you don't, then don't bother cos it's not what I think. |
davien:My dear young man, I've been a christian long enough to know when somebody is asking a question about God because the person is genuinely seeking for answers, and when somebody is asking a question because he wants to "spite the christian belief". I've seen many people like you who like to try countering what i tell them about God by "asking" 'if there is a God like you are saying, then why is there poverty in Africa? why are there wars? why do innocent people die? etc etc' The fact is this; your problem is not with the question you asked, your problem is with Jesus Christ and what he represents!! You don't believe in Jesus because you don't think you like what He represents. You don't like what you think He represents because you feel going by what He represents would 'restrict' your freedom to do whatever you want to do in life. You just want to be 'free' and not accountable to anybody but yourself alone in life. You really must think you're the wise guy here, and the "so-called" christians or "follow-the-leader" people as you had put it are the foolish guys. In your "absolute wisdom", you have failed to ask yourself a few important questions about life; 1) where did you come from? 2) were you created by God or you are an ape that evolved? 3) If you were created by a God that exists, then what is His reason for creating you? 4) If you're an ape that evolved, then who created your "parent ape" you evolved from? 5) If you were created by a God, then do you think He would not have His own rules by which you should live/operate your life just like product manufacturers write manuals for operating their products? 6) If you know you were created by God, then do you not think there's more to life than just eat food, grow up, go to school, get a job, marry and have kids, buy houses & properties & cars, collect chieftaincy titles or political titles, get old and die? 7) If you someday decide to go on a 2-week vacation to some exotic holiday destination that you've never been to before, maybe like some Island in the Carribbean, you would naturally want to do a little research and ask a few questions about the place you are going to spend 2-weeks of your life. But you know you will die someday and leave this earth, yet your "absolute wisdom" has not prompted you to ask genuine questions to know where you will spend not just 2weeks.......but eternity!?? I know you think you can afford to live your life as you please and not give a damn about all those "christian bullshyte", but I keep telling people this one thing; THERE IS NO UNBELIEVER IN HELL. WHEN PEOPLE DIE, THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE WHAT YOU DO ENDS! THERE IS JUDGEMENT, AND HEAVEN OR HELL ARE THE ONLY TWO POSSIBLE OUTCOMES OF THAT JUDGEMENT. ONLY A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST CAN SAVE YOU ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT, NOT YOUR BIG GRAMMAR OR PHILOSOPHICAL PROWESS!! When people stand before God and they suddenly realize that life was a priviledge given by God. If you are really as smart or wise as you think, you will sit down and tell yourself the truth - that you must answer all of those questions of life before you die. Trust me, you don't want to die with uncertainty surrounding your eternity......you won't like it. This is not a threat. I have only just told you the harsh truth in the mildest form possible. |
davien:My friend you need to come down from that your high horse you're riding! It's people with the kind of mentality you have that wanted to stone to death a woman caught in the act of adultery, and took her to Jesus with their stones in their hands. Thinking Jesus would condemn her also like they did, but unfortunately for them, Jesus simply said "he that is without sin should cast the first stone" You are here condeming a man for his PAST sins while you yourself have your own PRESENT sins you have not repented of Before God, all sins are sin and are all equally deadly and deserving of condemnation, that is why God said "the wages of sin is death"!! There is no "big sin" & "small sin" before God, all sins are sin and will lead to hell. If you think because you have not robbed anybody or killed anybody, and as such you are better than Shina Rambo, then i'm sorry for you! Because that lie you told, or that Fornication you committed in the past is still SIN, and before God you are as condemned as Shina Rambo was when he was killing and robbing people in the past. If you think God's mercy is good for you despite your sins and shortcomings as a human being, then who are you to say it is not good for another sinner. Afterall mercy is part of God's nature and your personal opinions will not change God from being who he is. |
herald9:This is why you need to understand the reason Jesus Christ came to earth to suffer and die. The only reason He did so is to save sinners. Jesus was INNOCENT & SINLESS, yet God allowed Him to suffer and die in the place of sinners. That is also the same reason why God allows sinners who have committed the most terrible of sins to be forgiven and set free if they choose to repent and ask for forgiveness. God does not wish for any armed robber, prostitute, killer, fornicator or sinner to go to hell, that is why He made an escape way for ANYONE who believes. that escape is by believing in the payment Jesus made for your sins and accepting Him. If while Jesus was being crucified, he could look at the armed robber who was also crucified with him on his right side, and say to him "today you will be with me in paradise", then why can't a sinner like Shina Rambo be also forgiven by God? |
davien:Let's pretend you've never read about the story of Apostle Paul in the bible, a man who was so notorious for jailing and killing innocent christians until he had an encounter with Jesus Christ while on his way to Damascus to persecute the christians there. This same man repented and turned away from his sins and later became the greatest Apostle we know of today. He was used by God to do a lot of great things that even people like Apostles Peter and John who were with Jesus as his disciples didn't even accomplish. Moral: God does not run a democracy where popular opinions determine what is 'right' or not. God killed His own beloved son Jesus on the cross for just one reason - so that sinners can identify with the punishment/death of Jesus and be saved. The punishment/payment for Shina Rambo's sins have already been taken by Jesus Christ when he died on the cross for all who will choose to believe in Him, and that is why IT WILL BE A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE FOR GOD TO REFUSE TO FORGIVE HIM THE DAY HE REPENTED AND ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS. God is a just God, and He will not demand double payment for an offence. Jesus paid for our sins, and that is the ONLY REASON why we don't have to pay for them again IF WE GENUINELY REPENT AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS. If a man refuses to accept the payment made on his behalf by Jesus Christ on the cross, then that person has to pay for his own sins by himself......and the ultimate place to pay for your sins is in Hell. The sad thing is that if you choose to pay for your sins by yourself in hell, you can never finish paying for it, that is why Jesus said the fire in hell never goes out and those who go there are damned forever. The choice is simple; take the easy path by accepting Jesus' payment on your behalf, or pay for your sins by yourself. I know Shina Rambo took the easy path. |
Dear Buhari, I want to believe you didn't actually say all these things. When you were campaigning and some of us were saying you were clueless especially when you said to us that you will 'stabilize the price of oil' when elected, many of your followers came lashing out on us. Now you have been elected and you are trying to tell us another story? No sir! we don't want to hear it! The reason your followers told Nigerians to vote out Jonathan and vote you in is because they said Jonathan has scattered the Nigerian economy with corruption, and that you Buhari, are the only one who can fix the mess. So you were voted to fix the mess you are complaining about! Buhari, pls put on your work gloves now, get to work and start stabilizing the price of oil to get us more revenue with which you will fix the Nigerian economy as promised!! We will not accept anything short of this! |
missclasssy:This is how people keep fooling themselves and also trying to deceive others to join them! So you are now wiser than God who created you, gave you a brain and also created the sex we are talking about here?? God says sex should be exclusively for marriage, and you are here saying no it shouldn't be? And you expect me to chose your 'wisdom' ahead of God's wisdom of making sex for marriage? For your information, If you are having sex and you are not married to your sex partner, what you are doing is not called 'Love', it is called FORNICATION or ADULTERY! Tell me; what does it take to learn how to have sex? even Mad people know how to do it very well......or haven't you seen pregnant mad women before? how did they get pregnant if they didn't know how to have sex? Sex is what any Tom, Dick, Harry, Susan and Jane can learn at anytime they decide to do so. You don't have to be a genius to know how to have good sex! It is nothing worth celebrating that you've been committing sin and fornicating in the name of gathering sexual experience for marriage. If you valued yourself and your body so much just as God values you, you will not as a lady need anybody to teach you that you need to protect that body of yours and you will not allow any UNAUTHORIZED DICK sticking into your vagina for any reason. Only your HUSBAND would be qualified to do so. Same principle also applies for a guy who places the right value on his body! Note: I expect you to get angry and lash out on me, but who cares? I have just told you the truth and you need to think about your value system! |
Assslayer:Oga, abeg I don't have time for arguments. The facts are there to speak for themselves if you will only reason. You did not create yourself, somebody did, and that person is God! That God who created you has his laws and you don't live your life based on the rules you set, but by the rules set by your creator. And you cannot be in the same class with my Jesus.......not with what your idea of "sophistication" is! If you think you are sophisticated, you can start proving it by first correcting all these your grammatical blunders i had to deal with while reading your comments. For want of time, i will only mention one; 21st century and not 21th century! Like i said before, when you stand before God, all these your grammar will not help you, only Jesus can! |
Assslayer:......and you! I will not yet categorize you as a FOOL for now, just because i'm not certain if you have met the exact criteria to be called one. For a fool is somebody that says in his heart that there is no God. It seems you believe in a God somewhere, but you are only lost on finding which way leads to Him......that is still only a little bit better than the man you are defending who said God does not exist. Now, i'll be straight to the point with you; There is a God in heaven, He is a holy and righteous God, no unholy or unrighteous person can approach him. That is why no human being is qualified to get to God on his own merit cos we are all born into sin. This is the reason the Jesus whom you despise came into this earth to pay the price for purchasing your righteousness before God, and made it in such a way that you can have access to this holy God if only you believe in Jesus and put your faith in his price paid for you. There is a day coming in which you will leave this earth, and if you close your eyes here, they will open in eternity either heaven or hell. the choice is yours, but Jesus has done all you need to escape damnation in hell. If you die today, you won't be speaking all these your grammar when you stand in judgement before God! |
UdohOby:My dear, in as much as Jesus said we should not call "our brother" "fool", it is clearly written in the bible in the book of psalms; "A fool is someone who says in his heart that there is no God". So by bible definition, that guy is a FOOL. I am not insulting him for what he said, i am only making him aware of what God said about people like him as it is clearly written in the bible. |
breadandbutter:you are a FOOL!!!!!!! a BIG FOOL!!!!!!! a VERY BIG FOOL!!!! a VERY VERY BIG FOOL!!!!!! do you know how I know? It's simple.......at your age, you still think you created yourself! You have been breathing God's oxygen that you didn't even have an idea of how it came about before you were born, and yet you have the guts to insult the same God whose oxygen you breathe to stay alive? The only reason God has not struck you dead for all these crap you insult Him with is simply because he is merciful beyond belief, he still loves you despite your wickedness, and he is wishing you may still use the opportunity of time to escape damnation and embrace His love through Jesus Christ who paid with His life to save you from your sin. I love God so much because He is far more merciful than i am. If i were Him, I would not take this insult from a creature i made. |
@ OP: when did you say this event happened? You are mentioning 1:30pm in your story and the time now is just 12:30pm. Are you talking about a dream you had or what? |
When God is working for you, even APC enemies will end up voting for you without knowing it! ![]() I bet many other APC intending voters ended up voting for GEJ and only realized it when they had left the polling station. GEJ till........2019 |
sammyj:When PDP was complaining that the card readers were not reliable and that they should not be used, it was you APC people that refused and said Jega must stick to card readers. Now you want to complain? If i hear that your voice again eh!!!! By the way, I dont know why you people are still wasting your time hoping Buhari wins.......we already know GEJ is the winner. Prophets have seen it, and even the Witches & wizards in Nigeria have also seen it and said it openly. When God and devil both say somebody will win, then I don't know how you intend to make that person lose again. ![]() |
Excuzeme:I don't want to be the one to say you are a stupid slowpoke for this useless comment you made......It's not from my mouth you will hear that. But I will have to admit with all humility that you are one of the most FOOLISHLY WISE persons I've come across in recent times. But if you have some little sense now, quickly google "Muhammadu Buhari blood of dogs and baboons", and read all that comes up. Alternatively, go on Youtube now and type in the same thing and then relax and watch for yourself. Also watch as some of Buhari's associate try to defend that "blood of dog & baboon" statement by claiming Buhari did not mean the statement the way Nigerians interpreted it!! Tell me, how else should we interpret it before??!! None of Buhari's associate can come up to even claim Buhari did not make the statement, all they can do is to try to tell us it was not intended the way it was interpreted. If Buhari did not make that statement, then why was he dragged to the International Criminal Court? On what grounds was the case at ICC filed against him? Wise people will say "to whom brain is given, sense is expected", but too sad that many people were given brains but common sense is too far from them!! |
Just my thinking.......op may be a member of Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb |
dustmalik:Oh! so GEJ that at least openly says the blood of one Nigerian is not worth spilling for his re-election is now the desperate one here in that your small mind? So what of Buhari who said openly that if he doesn't win this election that the streets will be soaked in the blood of the dogs & baboons? So that doesn't sound like desperation to you? Hypocrite!! |
siraj1402:But you have not answered his question, nor have you told us a way out of this mess Aregbe has thrown Osun Educational system into. I guess APC and Aregbe have brought a taste of the "Change" Nigerians are clamouring for to Osun State. APC = Scam |
Even If You Put A Knife To My Neck, I Will Vote For Goodluck Jonathan By Bayo Adeyinka Sounds extreme? But that's how convinced I am about the candidature of Goodluck Jonathan. I sat earlier today at the Customer Service Outlet of one of the mobile service providers and listened in to a discussion between two men. Both of them were discussing Femi Aribisala's video on Jonathan's achievements. They were very surprised that Jonathan was so under-reported. Not one to miss this kind of chance, I weighed in. I spoke to them about my experience and before I finished, I got several other people nodding affirmatively. It seemed to me that the scales of 'change' has finally fallen. At a newspaper corner at the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport, Abuja this morning as I waited to board a flight to Lagos, I engaged a few travellers on this issue. It was Jonathan all the way. One of my good 'egbons' that I've known for a very long time took me up on my support for Jonathan today. He wondered why I actively promoted him. But how can I support people who can't even change a state and want to change a country? Rauf Aregbesola has not paid salaries for 5 months and he is part of the 'change' crew! How can I support a group of people who will celebrate our trains by day when they allow their people to board freely during festivals and then turn back to deride it as locomotives for political expediency? Over the last one week, I have been to Kano, Nassarawa and Benue. I saw with my own eyes the largest rice mill in Nigeria and I stood in front of a mountain of paddy rice. I watched as rice was produced from paddy until they were put in 50kg bags. I saw the MIVA rice mill in Makurdi and also saw how the market was flooded with MIVA rice. I have visited an auto assembly plant in Nigeria and I saw Hyundai and Nissan Patrol cars rolled out. I visited Agbara and was part of a team that conceptualized a salt manufacturing plant from start to finish. It is one of the 2 or 3 plants in Nigeria. Two friends of mine were beneficiaries of the YOUWIN programme. JAMB now sends results in 9 hours and no longer 3 months. Our airports look better and I was pleasantly surprised that a new wing is springing up at the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport in Abuja, just like the new wing in MMIA. I know indigenous oil and gas players who now handle jobs that expats used to handle a few years ago. I visited Forcados and Bonny and I am a living witness to the success of the Local Content Act. Lagos-Ibadan Express Way is one I can never forget. My kinsman, Olusegun Obasanjo could not do it in 8 years but Goodluck succeeded where Obasanjo failed. Where travellers used to spend 3 days on Benin-Ore expressway, they now spend 3 minutes. We have Freedom of Information Bill which even the APC states have refused to domesticate. PHCN was unbundled successfully. Power plants are being built. Nollywood, another potential 'oil' is being well oiled. Several intervention funds released to help the economy- the N300b Real Sector Fund(RSSF), Commercial Agric Scheme (CACS), NIRSAL, Growth Enhancement Scheme (GES) among others. The Bank of Industry now alive to her responsibilities. The Nigeria Mortgage Refinance Company set up to refinance mortgages. Corruption in fertilizer distribution totally eliminated. Nigeria is now winning the war against Boko Haram after some initial set-back. The trains are back and if you don't like the thought of locomotives- at least you should credit the achievement of the soon- to-be-launched 150km per hour speed train on the Abuja- Kaduna route. And so on. Am I saying Goodluck is perfect? No, not at all. There is certainly room for improvement but I believe he has done enough to be re-elected. He should consolidate on the power sector. He should finish the road projects started and most especially the 2nd Niger Bridge. He should quickly ensure a full diversification of the economy. He needs to institutionalize reforms in the petroleum sector. The list goes on as there is so much to be done for a nation that has been in the backwaters for a long time. But there's no denying that progress has been made. When Jonathan wins, he will need to thank volunteers- people who took it upon themselves to fight lies with the truth. People who stood firm and ramrod when others were easily swayed by the fleeting logic of 'change'. People who endured all manners of insults to their persons and went through all kinds of provocation just so they can push his candidature. People who stood up to be counted when it mattered. People who love the future of this country better than our ignominious past. People who refused to tow the line of others and would rather follow their hearts. People who don't care about short term gains but would rather think long-term. I have met absolutely brilliant people during the course of this campaign and I have learnt so much from them. These are the real agents if the kind of change we want- people like Kennedy Emetulu, Adb Festus Yinka, Viola Ifeyinwa Okolie, Olabode Omojuyigbe, Ike Ogu, Amanda Chisom, Awazie Chinomnso, Olutoyosi Omotoso, Vincent Obadofin, Bayo Adeyemo, Egbeleke Aderopo and many others too numerous to mention. I thank all my friends who support the opposition also. We have had a long-drawn campaign full of bile and guile. It is time to put all that aside and work for the progress of our nation. Please be peaceful as you exercise your right. No politician is worth your blood. I want to encourage everyone to cast their votes for GOODLUCK JONATHAN. Please re-elect him. God bless Nigeria!

hypotallamus:You can keep on wondering, but I would rather have a GEJ as my child's teacher than have a Buhari as my child's teacher. GEJ knows his party PDP means People's Democratic Party, but Buhari said his party APC means "All Progressive Confidence" GEJ understands that Global oil prices are determined by the law of demand & supply and as such no one person can choose to regulate it, but Buhari says he will stabilize the price of oil if he becomes president. GEJ can at least debate on issues, but Buhari is too daft to engage in any debate. So, based on the few points above and many others which i can't mention now for want of time, i will say that if i was faced with only two options of picking GEJ or Buhari as my child's teacher, I will rush GEJ to immediately become my child's teacher. Buhari will never be my child's teacher cos i don't want my children to turn out daft and of low IQ like Buhari. At least, i don't want my child to think "corruption" is spelt as "kwarruption" ![]() |
pansophist:My friend hold it there! Must you label everybody as a liar? If lieing is your hobby, that doesn't mean everybody lies like you, so never ever in your life again make that statement "Everyone lies"! I have been in several situations where i risked losing my job if i said things exactly the way i messed up, and all i had to do was just say a little lie to get out of the trouble, but on those occasions, i said the truth and i still did not even lose the job cos my boss now knows it's better having an imperfect but sincere staff who is willing to improve rather than a liar. There are many people like me who take Christianity serious, and we will rather be messed up while speaking the truth than lie just to have material gains. Funny enough, it is people who stand for integrity against all odds that end up gaining on the long run. You think you are smart by lieing, but in reality you are just a coward who can't stand up to the truth! |
ludamix:Mr Writer, do you live on this planet? Or you are high on APC brand of monkey tail? |
Zuria:Oouch......!!! That really hurts. If i were an APC propagandist jumping into this thread to lampoon GEJ, I'll be sulking by now after seeing this ![]() |
hope4nigeria:You are a big liar! I have a future. My future is so bright, too bright that i actually need some sunshades to protect my eyes!! Hater like you! keep on hating while we keep marching forward and transforming Nigeria! |
