Na service to humanity and Nigeria

Hahaha.. kudos!

This one seems to still be possessed by poor-verty mentality.

TonyeBarcanista:
The attention of Peoples Democratic Party National Youth League has been drawn to a purported list of "corrupt" political leaders parading across various social media platforms allegedly emanating from our great party.

After conducting our investigation, we wish to state that the report in question does not emanate from our great party, PDP and it does not represent the views of the leadership and entire PDP members.

We state without iota of doubt that our great party is a responsible party that respects sanity and rule of law. PDP will never emulate the lawless ruling All Progressive Congress led federal government to defame and shame citizens of Nigeria as that is the job of the judiciary. in facr, media trials is alien to PDP culture and policy.

We suspect that the jittery APC cooked up the said list so as to send a subtle false narrative that it was PDP officials, including His Excellency, Governor Darius Ishaku, our hardworking and popular Governor of Taraba State, that destroyed the country between 1999 and 2015, a narrative that is highly discredited and proven to be far from the truth.

We state therefore that the federal government should desist from playing to the gallery and take up the challenge to publish names of convicted corrupt officials and those with pending files with the Economic Financial Crimes Commission as the so-called list earlier released by the Alhaji Lai Muhammed, the discredited misinformation minister is but a ruse.

We advice members of the public and media organisation to disregard the lists flying round.

Ahhh! Barca you don collect office already for pdp? National Coordinator
I hail bros! More ginger to your hustle!

Nigerians are compulsively daft when things get to politics. Names of 5 persons were mentioned and people now automatically assume it's an exhastive list?... Even Fayose too?

Sometimes one doesnt even know when people are joking or serious anymore in the political section of this forum.

Obascoetubi:
Matthew 5:17-32 New International
Version (NIV)
The Fulfillment of the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to
abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have
not come to abolish them but to fulfill
them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven
and earth disappear, not the smallest
letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will
by any means disappear from the Law
until everything is accomplished. 19
Therefore anyone who sets aside one of
the least of these commands and
teaches others accordingly will be called
least in the kingdom of heaven, but
whoever practices and teaches these
commands will be called great in the
kingdom of heaven.

I repeat myself again, no living Christian in 2018 is capable of keeping to the laws of Moses, and that's why through Christ's sacrifice on the cross, He 'fulfilled' those laws on our behalf to save us from the curses that come with not adhering 100% to every single component of those laws.

Colossians 2:14
having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross

The above verse made it clear that the laws/decrees were a burden to the people, "hostile to us". Just like a difficult burdensome exam which no one could pass, Christ picked his pen, took our sheets and wrote these exams on our behalf by being nailed to the cross. Christ basically fulfilled the law on our behalf so we can no longer be held to ransom for not adhering strictly to the difficult decrees... but it appears a lot of people aren't too sure of what that 'fulfillment' in Christ's statement entails.

Anyway, this argument on whether the laws of Moses are still binding on new covenant believers did not start today; it existed as far back as the days of the apostles. Read Galatians 13, Apostle Paul was seriously provoked to anger by this argument that he asked the Galatians if they were bewitched for attempting to downplay the sacrifice of Christ whilst upholding the laws of Moses. Take your time to read the entire Galatians 13.

Finally, if any Christian today still thinks the sacrifice of Christ isnt sufficient for them, and that they want to practice Judaism (Mosaic culture) and Christianity concurrently, then good luck to such a person in that adventure. But remember, if you must uphold one, you have to uphold ALL of the laws. You cant just pick and choose which one of the laws you want to comply with.

Heb 7:18
For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness

Heb 8:13
By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

misano:
APC stop feeding on PDP's success and rebuking them for their errors. As far democracy is concerned no project can be completed.

However, it could be recorded as completed the moment D infrastructure is being used by the masses. If D masses have started receiving treatment from a 1-room clinic built by a government, even if it small but has been inaugurated, it is regarded as a complete project and successive governments can improve on that, know problem.

Going by your definition of completed; i.e. can we also say road rehabilitation projects are complete because commuters are driving on them?

misano:
Accept it. Buhari has done nothing yet. Stop being so angry.

Moukandjo:
Na simple question I ask! But your refusal to answer already says a lot!
So since we've agreed that those universities aren't even up to secondary school standard, wouldn't it have been wise to improve the standard of the existing ones instead of building those craps?

It's not even about the unis being like secondary schools, the fact is that they were only 'ESTABLISHED' with just one or two structures in place and are definitely not anywhere near complete; in terms of structures, not a single one of them is up to 10% complete. They will be built little by little by successive administrations (through the capital budgets in the education ministry and some other education intervention funds like etf) and even in the next 15 years, they might not still be up to 50% completed.

A lot of people are just too damn ignorant to understand the meaning of the word 'continuity'.

misano:
Why didn't Buhari improve the standard of the existing once?

Mr 'Continuation', why did Buhari not improve those 14 universities built by GEJ as his continuation/improvement plan.

Buhari is a disappointment. Disgrace and a old dull leader. After bragging dat his government was going to make life better 4 Nigerians. He only made it worse.

Fuel price went up, Rice price went up, Dollar to Naira na another story. Electricity... chai shame Buhari. Security... Benue people understand. All we hear are excuses and endless blame games.


If APC worked towards their 'change agenda' Bill Gate wouldn't have talked about how the health sector has been bad over the years with no improvement.

Shame, shame, shaaaaaaaaaame.

Too many ignorant comments just packed into one thread. Regarding the bolded part of your comment above, there's a capital budget for the ministry of education and those 14 universities certainly have one or two new constructions springing up in them currently courtesy of the capital vote in the budget; that would also continue to be the case even for the next 15 years. So exactly what part of the word continuity do you not understand?.... or does adding one or two structures to a newly established uni not pass as "improvement" in your own dictionary?

I suppose millions of Nigerians would have been more impressed if a new government came in and abandoned all 14 universities and established their own new 14 unis so as to impress some set of Nigerians.

emmygzy:
14 federal universities and almajiri schools by Jonathan.

Could it just be that Nigerians no longer know the meaning of the word 'completed'?... or does that word now have a new meaning?

N350,000 challenge; kindly show me any of those 14 universities which is up to 10% completed?

Letenwam:
Few days ago, the President Buhari administration celebrated its third year in power, and what Nigerians on social media have been asking for, are projects he initiated and completed. 

A Nigerian man and Facebook user, Victor Ezeanochie, took a rather radical move in finding out about projects started and completed by the present administration. According to him, he will be giving out his Lexus 300 SUV to anybody who mentions two projects initiated and completed by President Buhari. 

His post reads; 

BONANZA!! BONANZA!! BONANZA!!

I, HON VICTOR EZENDIGBO hereby resolve to give away my Lexus 300 jeep to anybody particularly buharists and buharians who can mention just two projects initiated,completed and commissioned by this present buhari led APC govt. 
All documents to this vehicle is ready for grab. 
GOODLUCK..

Nobody has won the prize which came with the post, which has long garnered 132 comments and 236 shares. 

There's also a tweet on projects initiated and completed by President Buhari's government, in its 3 years in power. The tweet announced that anyone who mentions projects initiated and completed by President Buhari, will get 350k as a prize. 

Twitter influencer @Sire_liljosh who confirmed the tweet, wrote; 

Someone challenged Nigerians to name ONE federal government project initiated, completed and commissioned by Buhari since he came to power 3 years ago and win N20k The prize is now N350,000 and people still haven't found one!!! Just ONE project o o

This is after trillions of money have been recovered, given and borrowed. But Baba have cows and a mud house and he is fighting corruption.

Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, also lent his voice to call for landmark achievement of the Buhari's government. His tweets reads; 

At this point, VP @ProfOsinbajo must be told to stop singing this old song of blame. Nigerians are no longer interested in what PDP did or failed to do.Rather, they are interested in what the APC govt has done and the VP should just tell Nigerians the achievements of their govt.

Today, even prosecution witnesses are suddenly disappearing in corruption cases involving those who have decamped to the APC and properties once seized are being returned to them. Obviously, PDP has purged itself of corrupt elements in its fold and offloaded them to the APC.

If VP @ProfOsinbajo can look around himself with honest eyes, he will see majority of those who called the shots during the previous PDP govts that he claimed mismanaged the country’s resources holding sensitive positions in the present govt.

Despite being a Professor of Law, the VP defended @officialEFCC Ag. Chairman, Magu that was indicted of corruption by the DSS, an agency under the President, by saying that Magu do not need the National Assembly to clear him. He is always jumping to defend what is indefensible.

Today, the most difficult question any student can be asked to answer in an examination is to list just five landmark achievements of the APC government in which Prof Osinbajo is the Vice President.

It was under three years that PDP government solved communication problems in Nigeria by providing Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) that has made it possible for Nigerians to use internet, social media and even bank in the comfort of their homes.

It is almost three years; Prof Osinbajo should tell Nigerians what their government did and stop blame-game please.


https://lailasnews.com/this-nigerian-man-is-giving-out-his-suv-to-anybody-who-mentions-two-projects-buhari-initiated-and-completed/

This challenge is pointless!
FG projects aren't state or LG projects which you start and finish in one day, they typically span more than 1 tenure. If any is in doubt, then may such a person kindly point out examples of FG capital projects 'started' and 'completed' within a single tenure by OBJ or Yaradua or GEJ?... I'm sure no substantial examples cam be given.

And then again, Nigeria is just recovering from a crippling recession which made it virtually impossible to do any capital projects in 2015 and 2016. For anyone trying to be too political by pinning this on Buhari's head alone, could such a person kindly remind us how much was budgeted for the ministry of works for capital projects in 2015 by GEJ/NOI?... Last I remember, it was less than N20bn, and that amount was even cut down later.

DaniDani:
When you go to Uyo, State built flyovers are different from Goodluck Jonathan's, which was built by fg under him, same with the Yenagoa flyover, and Otuoke University. They were started and completed by Jonathan. Stop beating about the bush with unnecessary arguments

Give me specific details please... where in Uyo and Yenagoa are these flyovers? I mean the ones built by the FG?... Which roads?.... and When did the projects start and when were they completed?

And please stop mentioning those new universities as 'completed' projects; none of the newly established universities are up to 10% completed.

surgical:
14 federal universities

I asked of completed capital projects, not inaugurated projects or 'brand new signboard and 2 classroom block' universities.. But since we no longer have any regard for the word 'completed', then permit me to come down to that level and start naming projects built by buhari too... lagos to Ibadan standard gauge railway, lagos to ibadan expressway rehabilitation, 3000mw mambilla hydro power dam, Onitsha to enugu road, benin to lokoja road dualisation, kano to Maiduguri road, abuja airport upgrade, lagos yo abeokuta road, PH to Enugu road etc.

Obascoetubi:
but we're still following 10 commandments from old testament

Every one of the 10 commandments were revalidated in the new covenant. The law on tatoo prohibition was only mentioned in Leviticus, together with numerous other weird Mosaic laws which no living human can keep to. That was part of the reason Christ had to come to save mankind from the curse and heavy burden of those laws mentioned in Leviticus (go read Galatians 3:10-13; in fact read the entire chapter). I still cannot understand how people who are supposed to be followers of Christ (i.e. Christians) keep reading out components of the old Judaism laws as rules for Christianity; the confusing part of it all is that only selected verses (not all) of the mosaic laws are picked up and preached today.

DaniDani:
Federal University, Otueke was started and completed by Jonathan. There's one flyover in Bayelsa that was also started and completed by Jonathan. There's also a magnificent flyover that was constructed in Uyo by Jonathan. I have personally seen and confirmed these projects. Just give me 1 project Buhari

3 months after I gave this very simple challenge, kudos to you for being the first to attempt to respond to it. But unfortunately, your answers are laughable; someone probably doesnt know the difference between a state project (commissioned by a visiting president) vs a federal project. We could as well just say Buhari started and completed Ikeja bus terminal. Furthermore, you obviously do not know the meaning of the word 'completed', else I wonder why you would actually mention Federal uni Otuoke and the word 'completed' in the same sentence. How many buildings were built in the site and has up to 10% of the buildings in the masterplan been built?

Meanwhile, it would actually be worthwhile if you could bring up more details of these 2 flyovers you talked about above; maybe I could be wrong in my assumptions. Provide any kind of detail whatsoever proving the the flyovers were built by the FG and that the projects actually commenced post 2010 and were completed before May 2015. Can you do that?

Like I said again, FG projects arent state projects like a flyover or classroom blocks which you'd expect to be started and completed in one day.

CSTR1002:
Tell Me one physical project for the general public that buhari has started and completed in 3yrs.

BTW, 3yrs is 75% of a single tenure.

...By the way, if I am to even respond to this your question regarding projects, a fact is that federal government projects are not state or LG projects which you start today and finish today, they typically span more than 1 tenure. If you doubt me, then permit me to reverse your question; kindly point out examples of FG capital projects 'started' and 'completed' within a single tenure by OBJ or Yaradua or GEJ?... I'm sure you wouldnt be able to give any substantial examples.

And then, lets not forget that Nigeria was in a crippling recession and it was virtually impossible to do anything capital in 2015 and 2016. If you doubt this agaun or choose to be too political about it by pinning it on Buhari's head alone, kindly remind us how much was budgeted for the ministry of works for capital projects in 2015 by GEJ/NOI?... Last I remember, it was less than N20bn, and was even cut down later.

CSTR1002:
Obalaila, the pro buhari fanatic has suddenly taken a more neutral stance.

Since when did that transformation happen?

I am pro APC yes, but I'm not here to argue pmb vs gej please. I am tired of arguing over two failures.

CSTR1002:
Tell Me one physical project for the general public that buhari has started and completed in 3yrs.

BTW, 3yrs is 75% of a single tenure.

If you can't give me one project , then on what educated premise are you campaigning for buhari?

I am not in a political gej vs pmb argument with you. Like I said before, a literate man should have discerned that from my previous post. And then you come again to embarass your certificate even more with the bolded part of your message above?.... From what planet did you pick the weird idea from that I am campaigning for anyone? Na wa oo!

CSTR1002:
Oga, there is nothing more illiterate than supporting buhari.

My point has been made... And if any is literate, they would have known that the statement I made had nothing to do with supporting anyone.

wirinet:
It is annoying when supposedly educated men talk like vulcanisers. Is reno saying he did not offer or pass economics 101 in school?

Is renowned omokri saying he has not heard of such terms like inflation rate, revenue profile, population rate, exchange rate, etc?

What was the revenue profile of Nigeria during president Jonathan's time and what is the revenue profile now? How did the CBN keep the naira down during Jonathan's period? It is by auctioning dollars twice every week. Now where is the Buhari administration going to get the dollars to keep the naira low now? Reno and his supporters can help by exporting something and earning dollars. It will help in meeting some dollar demand by dollar hungry Nigerians.

Nigeria has an average inflation rate of 12% - 14%, if Reno does not understand what this means, I will explain. It means prices of goods and services are expecting to increase an average of 12 - 15% every year. This means prices of all goods including rice is expected to double every 7 to 8 years.

If we were to follow Reno 's logic, then Abacha was a superstar compared to Jonathan. During Abacha's period petrol was N11 per litre, dollar was about N30 per dollar and rice was less than N500 per bag.

I am not saying Buhari is performing well, but Reno and his party should learn to criticise intellectually instead of talking like garage touts.

Reno knows very well that a majority of Nigerians are no better than unenlightened garage touts; even well educated Nigerians aren't left out and are just glorified illiiterates. Reno understands the capacity of his audience, that's why he comfortably dishes out these kind of analysis day by day.

THE BIBLE REMAINS THE STANDARD AND NOT MAN/WOMAN..

GOD FORBIDS MARKING YOUR BODY FOR ANY REASON

You picked that up from Leviticus right?.... God also forbids all men from shaving their side hair and adorning any garment made of more than one type of fabric; all these together with the law on tatoos were inked in the same chapter. How come no one preaches the other laws?

GGirll:
Are mine surprised Not at all n will never be you ask me why? Because I know my bible and I know my God....if you read Matthew 24 you will see it there we are warned to be ware of wolves in sheep clothings thank God I don't even read her books from time being....read 2 Peter 2:1-end n you will understand.....this heresies we have been warned that false prophets will deceive many please before you consider her words on tattoo remember after death only you not her will face judgments of all have done n ignorance is not going to be entertained....forget church n be a bi ble reader yourselves, forget all these people n know your Jesus yourselves...eternal damnation awaits all those who allowed themselves to be deceived by the anti Christ n his false prophets be warned...read 3rd John 3:7.....only rapture is eminent

I dont subscribe to her or anyone placing a tatoo on their bodies for the sole purpose of just spiting a group of people, it's silly! But a fact I understand from my bible is that Christ doesn't care if you have or you place a tatoo on your body. Still cant understand why anyone still goes into the book of Leviticus to dig up levitical laws as rules for 'Christianity'

Abortion being illegal has not stopped a single willing person in Nigeria from going ahead with it. Rather, it has damaged the bodies and ended the lives of so many people who ended up with quacks.

It is "igbo" originally but how ever "Ibo" is the anglicized version using the English vocabulary,and this mispronouncement was done by the illegitimate semi igbo speakers from the South-souths and non speakers from other regions.

How the both pronounciations are accepted though partially but one still remains officially and formally which is "igbo"

Pls any contrary opinions should state below......

What do you mean by "illegitimate semi Igbo speakers"?

The writer of this script is even worse than whoever it is that wrote the Dapchi script...

Good info.
However, all these apps has a way of being a step ahead of them.
For truecaller, if you don't want anyone to be able to trace your identity using truecaller, just register on true caller with a name that is anonymous.......simple.
I did it and it worked for me.
When I realised that true caller was divulging my identity, I just registered on true caller with a strange name with my number, and that stopped my real name popping up whenever it is searched on true caller or people with true caller apps on their phones calls my line.
Try this and thank me.later.

This has always been the solution to the problem. I did this at some point but later reverted to my real name cos I didnt really see any reason why I should hide my identity.

Still not sure why this is news. The dude is an Anambra man from an Igala speaking community.

Wasn't Nnamdi Kanu saying the same things about the right to protect and defend oneself..

Wicked people..

Was NK really talking about just self defence when he bragged about reducing the zoo to rubbles?
