But look at it this way: The north and indeed many Nigerians from other parts of the country attacked Jonathan's government for being weak against terrorism and corruption. One of the moves the northerners made to destabilize his government was supporting Islamic terrorism.

Now, the chicken has come home to roost for the northerners especially. They have succeeded in making the north more unstable and poorer with the spates of terrorism. Why are they not blaming the useless president they supported in 2015 and 2019? Why is everyone quiet? If it was a southerner in power, do you think these northerners would take it easy like this?

Everything you see in the north today is a fallout of the stupid decisions they have taken for centuries. I pity those losing their loved ones though.
And the OP shouldn't have based his points on GEJ. For none of these politicians is worth hating a fellow human being for.

The OP was simply being stupid for suggesting that a solution to the current problem was for northerners to vote GEJ.

GreatAxeMan:
You are losing your lives, live with it!

Who is the 'you'? I live comfortable outside the shores of Nigeria and only just watch you display your mumurity. You mock people suffering from terrorism because of silly political sentiments, it's only a matter of time before you and your loved ones become victims too. Make we dey watch...

ThEGodFaThEr128:
Shut up! Every action has it's consequences. When you people were shouting "Change" like patients suffering from diarrhoea of the mouth didn't you see the handwritten on the wall then. Bloody Bleep.king hipocrites.

So the smartest suggestion you had for people who were victims of daily terrorism is that they should have been hailing and re-electing GEJ who was busy dancing on a campaign podium few hours after a bomb killed over 90 people at a bus park in Abuja?... Its obvious say all of una dey mental....

GreatAxeMan:
The true stupidity is that bottomless pit in the empty cavity you call a head.
You can continue crying while I laugh at the pain your Dullard is inflicting on you.

Yes you can continue laughing at victims of terror but you only expose your imbecility by doing so. You lost a damn election, live with it!

GreatAxeMan:
Your lack of intelligence is greater than your lack of honesty.

Let headslammers reap the rewards of what their filthy religion teaches.

It's painfully stupid to actually hear anyone blame Jonathan, a non muslim (or any other non muslim for that matter), for acts of terror carried out by muslims. Too stupid for reproach.

It's extremely stupid to mock victims of terror for opting to try someone else when they realised that the leader then (GEJ) was an epitome of incompetence with respect to their security. Maybe if you lost family members during that era and had supporters of the govt claim the deaths were fake (like what's happening today also), you wouldn't stupidly be mocking victims of terror who chose to reject GEJ then.

GreatAxeMan:
Karma is a real bîtch. I really don't care much for Nigerian politics or for any Nigerian politician, but this made me laugh. See as Karma stretch im hand from 2015 to deliver dirty slap in a Chris Rock style

This is actually stupidity. During the time of Ebele, terrorists were also thriving; bombing and killing people from central Abuja to Kaduna to Sokoto to Kano and not to mention the entire north east. Thousands of people were dying everyday in the hands of terrorist, same as it's happening today.

Apparently with the Nyanya bombing, the eagle square bombing, the bombing of Churches every christmas, the bombing of Thisday HQ in Abuja, the bombings in Kaduna and Kano, the lives taken in those bombings didnt matter to you as long as Ebele remained president. To you, those who protested the cluelessness of Ebele didnt have the right to do so given that their lives didnt matter?

If your smart solution to the menace prior to 2015 was for the people directly facing that carnage to re-elect Ebele, despite his obvious incompetence in handling the security situation, then your head really needs to be checked. Seeing that the govt then was clueless, if you think the people affected by the terrorism then didnt have a right to try something different, then your head really needs rewiring. It's obvious you dont care about the people dying, you only care about your candidate winning an election, and that makes you nothing short of a wild beast. You're clearly no different from the animals taking those lives.

The amount of propaganda in this war don pass ipob own

VOICEofORIENTAL:
The EU can buy gas from the gulf region..no continent in the world can buy Russian gas the way EU buy's from Russia..

Lol... There's no pipeline or transport system in place to get the required volume of gas from the Gulf to Europe. If there was any alternative to Russian gas, the EU would have boycotted Russia decades ago.

VOICEofORIENTAL:
The EU have options.But Russia have no option if they lose the EU as their costumer...

Who will buy Russia oil more than the EU?

Some people actually think gas can be grown on trees. Please can you explain the options the EU has?

00FFT00:
Interesting. Why have Nigerians not surged into the streets to demand an end to the carnage, both economic and security that have become their lives?.

We believe Europeans will do right for themselves if it comes to it, why not us?.

Are we finally admitting that Nigeria is populated by sub humans and dimwits?.

Nigeria is a unique situation. Even if we go out on the streets in protest, the govt wouldnt need to do anything; just give it a few days and the protesters would turn on each others over the most mundane things. So yeah, you may be right to say Nigeria Africa is sadly populated by ******

BKayy:
Then they will have two options
1. Either watch their citizens freeze to death next winter and their countries turned into a war front by riots OR....
2. Invade Russia and take the gas by force.

Loewe:
You missed the 3rd option: humble themselves and pay rubles for gas...

You guys have said it all... if the gas stops flowing, Europe's economy (including that of Russia) would take an unprecedented fall. Citizens across Europe will surge into the streets demanding their leaders stop playing politics with their lives.

YorobaPIGS:
I guess these bigoted tweets with 'biafra, IPOBian 'ibo' etc arent tribal going by your brain dead logic. Ozu

Again, you'll receive worse of what Chinelo got since you chose to be blind to the obvious

Nkita ara

Like I said before and will say again until you get into your thick tribal skull, there is nothing in the Abolore tweet that proves he made the tweet because the girl was Igbo. What you posted above isnt Abolore's tweet which this thread focuses on. Of course several stupid tribalists like yourself (but from the Yoruba stock) wouldnt fail to capitalise on the issue to express their stupidity, but the point being made here is that there's no evidence to prove the Abolor tweet falls in that category. Several others also made mocking remarks on that tweet yesterday, including igbos.

YorobaPIGS:
you are very senskess and utterly despicable

If you weren't inherent cursed with stupidity, you would know that the reason for that equally cursed, senseless abolore comment was because the lady is Igbo, and on seeing her name and tweet, the only thing his brain could process was 'IPOB' which is typical of you dunderheads and brain dead mor.ONS who see every one opposing apc as being Igbo or every anti-buhari comment as coming from IPOB

I'm sorry but all the curses you just placed are for you and your family. Enjoy your madness with your folks.

Like I said before and will say again. I not a fool to make assumptions without clear evidence. There was nothing explicitly in that tweet from the abalore fellow that proves he doubted her claims just because she was Igbo. Several others (including Igbos) on twitter also doubted her claim yesterday and some were stupid enough to make insensitive mocking remarks calling it clout chasing; of course they've all run back to delete their tweets.

unmask:
It's funny the length you people want to go to, without understanding why he said what he said. Was he wrong, yes. Was his comment without precedent, no.

Several people have been known to have chased clout. A musician even faked his own death.

While I strongly believe he should have erred on the side of caution, I also believe if he had known the lady's situation was as she claimed, he would never have tweeted what he did.

Worse now is people are even twisting it to an "igbophobia" Narrative.

Let's be human about several things

I believe those twisting it into a tribal thing are just tribalist desperately seeking justifications for their actions.

DarkJeddi:
In as much as I hate tribal bashing..
Knowing the mentality of the average Nigeria..
The tweet could have EVERYTHING to do with tribe..

Yes the tweet was insensitive and stupid, but there's nothing about it that proves he made it because the girl was Igbo.

I just went on twitter and noticed several people (just like the fellow I quoted) have turned the while thing into a tribal episode.

DrGoodman:
It's the same sentiments uniting Nigeria since 1970. If there is no Igbos to hate together, Nigeria would have scattered.

Buharri got elected because the Yorubas felt that Jonathan must go, because it was said he was favoring Igbos. An Ijaw man for that matter. Forget the corruption tag he got.

Nnamdi Hero Kanu would have got a standing ovation for his messages of warnings for fulani attrocities on the south, but he is Igbo, so everyone had to love Buharri than listen to the voice of reason.

But their hate is already eating them up, it's one young Igbo doctor today and countless northerners gone.

Oh please! Can you shove this nonsense victim mentality trash in the bin already. What has the tweet got to do with tribe for Christ sake?

Several people doubted the girls tweet yesterday (including Igbos); many called it 'clout chasing'. And now for some persons to turn it into a tribal hate issue? What's really wrong with our reasoning in this country?

Safety first! No one wants to be the victim of terrorists...

Dfrenzy:
Master C Bot did 2.86% today. Sheeesh!!!

Have a great day ahead people...!!!

I heard the rug has been pulled....

jaxxy:
If u are not praising Iraq for invading Kuwait are u condemning it or playing neutral like it friends India?? Cos it seems neutral is ur new position when it suits u.

How can Russia invade Ukraine and u support people playing neutral because us invaded a madman and dictator who invaded Kuwait and u kept quiet then?

The US didn't invade Venezuela despite everything happening there. The US invade Iraq and I think it's fair to shut up useless dictators who invade innocent countries.

Libya is the only misstep I can admit and even gadaffi was a ruthless dictator. He ruled Libya like his personal property. Hence the uprising

Its like supporting abacha for 3rd term and life president. Abacha wanted to be a gadaffi if he succeeded Then u will understand what Libyan were facing.

Is India not bullying Pakistan? china not bullying its neighbours in South china sea? Bt it's only US u see as bully now.

Who gave you the right to play God by deciding who's a madman and who's not?

I never justified the invasion of any sovereign country; Russia vs Ukraine, India vs Pakistan, Iraq vs Kuwait, Israel vs Palestine, China vs Taiwan etc. I rightly called the US and Russia 'bullies' who selfishly disrespect thr rule of law whenever it doesnt favour them. But you're the one justifying the invasion of sovereign nations by the US under the warped excuse fed to you by western propaganda that "they are dictators". Who gave the US the right to invade anyone?....

Regarding India's neutrality, that's what wise countries do. Wise countries dont foolishly give up themselves to be used as puppets by anyone. The war in Ukraine today is just a proxy war between the US vs Russia. The US for decades has been trying to subdue its greatest superpower rivals and Ukraine foolishly chose to be the puppet in the dick measurement exercise between the US vs Russia. India isnt foolish enough to let themselves be caught in such a useless contest.

Let the bastard from many fathers come back to Nigeria and enforce his stupidity.

jaxxy:
Has Russia not been invading for decades yet u praising them now. Iraq invade Kuwait cos of oil. U praised iraq and Saddam for it.

Bt u can call out the west who only invaded dictators and real threats?

I think u are biased cos of Eastern propaganda. Lol. Yes East have their propaganda that it's the west that's brainwashing bt they are the biggest hypocrites.

The bizarreness of your assumptions is outstanding. I'd be pleased if you can point out where anyone here (most especially myself) praised Iraq for invading kuwait like you claim.

Like I said before, your naivety clearly exposes you as a victim of western propaganda and it's actually pathetic seeing that people cant pause to think for themselves. Isn't it a shame that you justify the US illegally invading sovereign nations like Iraq and Afghanistan, murdering millions of civilians, both women and children? You casually termed it "invading dictators and threats" and feel no remorse about that?. You justify the US invading regimes which they believed were threats to them, but you crucify Russia for doing exactly the same?

And then most riduculous is that you castigate India for choosing to remain nuetral in the senseless dick measurement exercise between 2 superpower bullies? What you class as 'integrity' is for India to take sides with the western bullies again the eastern bullies?... Your sense of judgement and justice is clearly twisted.

jaxxy:
Very simple. Look at the west.

Looking out for urself isn't bad bt looking for urself only at the expense of others is very bad. That is india.

I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this; you're a victim of your own naivety, a victim of western propaganda. It's not your fault that you don't know this.

Tell me one country the US has invaded in the last 30 years that they didnt go for their selfish reasons?....

jaxxy:
India are opportunists by nature. They don't care about anyone bt themselves and their survival.

Some people will think India supports or like Russia bt truth is they don't. The only see a cheap way to buy oil from ongoing situation and are taking advantage of it period. Hence the UK delegations confusion on their stance.

The only people India care about is india. If they have opportunity to turn everybody to their slaves 2moro including Russia they will do it without hesitation. A nation with zero principles.

If watching out for iteslf can be termed "zero principles", kindly show us 1 nation with principles.

Benny6944:
Op why haven't Russians counter the statement?

When I see this question asked repeatedly, I cant help but laugh at the naivety. You must really think the Russians are so jobless to start responding to every fable dropped in the media. You obviously don't understand the meaning of propaganda especially when its being used as a tool of warfare by one side which totally controls the media. Are you aware you're being fed with only one side of the story over and over again? Even if Russia responds, are you aware you wouldn't even be allowed to hear of it?

When last did you hear of the death of a Ukrainian soldier? The media apparently only talks of the death of thousands of Russian soldiers and then the death of hundreds of Ukrainian women and children.

This war has taken a weird turn. Seems one side has abandoned bullets and bombs and fully adopted propaganda as their weapon

SadiqBabaSani:
I am sure now we know the true meaning of CLUELESSNESS

That apc is cluesless does not mean GEJ wasn't clueless.

BlueRayDick:
Apc rode to power on the premise that Jonathan was clueless in fighting Boko Haram terrorists.

Today we deal with the following security challenges under Apc government:

1. Boko Haram terrorists operating in the north east
2. ISWAP operaring in the north east
3. Fulani herdsmen operating in the north central and some parts of southwest
4. Bandits opering in the northwest
5. ESN/Unknown gunmen operating in the south east.

All of these operate freely without the federal goverment profering any feasible solution.

If by chance u end up voting for Apc in the next election, just know u are no better than a goat( ewure, akuya or ewu) that doesn't learn from experience.

What's the other option to voting APC?

May several thunders strike that idiot and his family wherever he is. Ekpa!!

So you mean to tell me the Monday sit-at-home nonsense still holds? Wow!

Kobojunkie:
1. So you are basically saying here that Jesus Christ, the Christ in Christianity, lied to His followers when He decreed that one sins by lusting in his heart after a woman, this in

Your issue is obviously not with me but with Jesus Christ. You don't seem to accept His teaching and hence probably believe His standard not good enough as far as your idea of Christianity is concerned.

2. Even Jesus Christ commanded His followers to no longer judge issues by the standard of men but instead by the standard set by God Himself, the one whose judgment is righteous, and that standard is Jesus Christ, God's New Covenant and agreement for individuals in the Kingdom of God - Matthew 26 vs 28 - 30 . So why do you find my teaching that which is God's Standard, Jesus Christ, offensive to you? That you would need to ask yourself since I qm obviously not the problem here.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Is my English really too difficult to understand? Maybe I can try another language.

Christ said if a man looks at a woman in 'LUST', then he's already sinned. Looking at a person in lust simply means "looking at the person with a strong desire to have sexual intimacy with the person". The OP has not told you she's looking at anyone in lust, so why do you keep repeating the same thing over and over again?

No I do not find the teachings of Christ offensive, instead I find your continuous twisting of the scripture (to satisfy your holier than thou Pharisaic disposition) rather distasteful. All I see here from you is a desperation to judge another, albeit in a lost context. Your desperation to judge the OP for speaking her truth has made it impossible for you to read and digest what several people have pointed out in this thread.

Kobojunkie:
Again, following that written in Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28, sexual lust isn't directly linked in anyway with intention - an aim or a plan.

2. Again, it is one thing to be Hot but another to link those hormones to an individual in your mental aka Lust after another person in your heart. If telling yourself that it is natural for you to link your urges to individuals in your mind, that is all you. But as Jesus Christ explained to His followers, that is sin.

3. Read my response to the Op again. I never told the OP that her sexual urges were sin. I instead told the OP that Sexual Lust is sin. So if her urges graduate to Lust, according to Jesus Christ, that is what sexual sin is.

As a matter of fact, my focus wasn't on her sexual urges but on making sure she understood that choosing abstinence didn't necessarily mean one's life was pleasing to God since God's standard is instead that what is sin is sexual lust in one's heart, and not the physical acts we typically associate with immorality.

Like I said before, quit preaching an impractical kind of Christianity. People like you unknowingly chase people away from the kingdom by preaching impossibilities and cloaking them as 'gospel'; these kind of teachings make people give up and abandon the kingdom.

In the context used in Matt 5:27, Lusting after someone entails having an intention to have sexual intimacy with that person; that is why Christ said even if you eventually don't indulge (for possibly extenuating reasons), the intention to indulge already passes as you indulging. The OP did not say she was lusting or had any intentions towards anyone. She only said she was feeling Hot and fighting temptations. The temptation itself is not and cannot be a sin; as humans, we aren't responsible for the temptations that come our way.

You may not know it and you may hink you're preaching gospel, but in reality, all you've been doing on this thread is just indirectly judging the OP of having sinned simply because she said she has urges (i.e. a natural human function).

Kobojunkie:
1. Where exactly do you have been declaring that what is sin is the sexual urge, as opposed to sexual lust which is clearly depicted in Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28?

Isn't this a clear case of transference?

2. Jesus Christ never said anything about intention being sin, in Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28. Instead what He said is that what is sin is that sexual lust in your heart - that sexual desire you have in your heart towards someone you are not married to - is what is the sin of adultery.

3. If you are Hot and then imagine yourself engaging in sexual acts with the lady next door or your ex, you lust in your heart after such a one one commit adultery by it... that is what Jesus Christ is telling you.

If you are walking down the street and you spot a fine person you desire in your heart to have sexual relations with aka you lust in your heart sexually after that person, you commit the sin of adultery against God - that is what Matthew 5 vs 27 - 28 is telling you.

4. Stop trying to twist what is written so it instead says what you want it to.

Lusting after a person = having an intention to have sexual intimatcy with that person. Being hoorny is not the same thing as having intentions to go commit inappropriate sexual acts; it's just a natural desire (just like hunger) which happens to every normal healthy adult. The OP said she feels sexual urges (which is very natural); OP didnt say she was intending to go jump on anyone's bed. Stop guilt tripping the OP please, that is not what Christ asked you to do.
