Obiano never admitted that amount of money was left by Peter Obi. My Goddess!!!!

He just admitted 35 billion Naira cash was left by Peter Obi..

The guy is such a bad liar

Tony eh!!!!! LWKMD

Dhugal:
Because the allegation wasn't true?

I think so..

If it was true, he'd have answered it and discredit Peter Obi and PDP once and for all

why did Obiano evade that Peter Obi's question?

according to wikipedia : Worshipis an act of religious devotionusually directed towards a deity. An act of worship may be performed individually, in an informal or formal group, or by a designated leader
according to dictionary.com : Worship | DefineWorship at Dictionary.com
reverent honor and homage paid to God or a sacred personage, or to any object regarded as sacred. ... formal or ceremonious rendering of such honor and homage

You pay homage to your king, your father.. So you worship them?

Bros.. I'm done with you..

You are not open to knowledge... you are rigid in your thinking and opinion.

Goodnight

The rational behind it isn't bad but
Why Mary? Why didn't you give the glory to Jesus instead? Yes Mary brought Jesus to the world why make reverence to her. Why is most things all about Mary in that church? Even in your prayers. During legion meetings her name is mentioned "Hail Mary"

Most things isn't about her... But the critics chose to magnify that part just to discredit us.

Hail Mary is a prayer with Biblical backing.. basically the Angel and Elizabeth's greetings to Mary.

The Catholic Church is vast with a lot of societies. Legion of Mary, Sacred heart of Jesus, the Charismatic renewal and a whole lot of others. But detractors only choose to talk about the Marian societies.

I remember in 2011, I had a roommate who was an adventist. And you know adventists are the biggest critics to the Catholic Church. He kept bashing until we made a deal. Fridays we both attend the adventists vesper service and Saturday worship and on Sundays we attend the Catholic Church.

We began having robust discussion about the rituals of the mass and the Biblical roots and his opinion changed forever. Take your time.. Visit a Catholic Church, pay attention to her rituals and doctrines, read about the Biblical backings online and maybe.. just maybe, you'll judge the church a little less harshly.

The church made a lot of mistake in her past. But that doesn't make the church as evil as you all try to paint her

Please can you also pray through the pictures of your kins or mum? Please the Jesus actor you guys worship has cried out to you Catholic fellows to STop worshipping him as he's just an actor they acted d movie "the passion of christ" so you see your so called Jesus n Mary statues n images were not even d real Mary n Jesus cos when they existed there were no cameras to have captured their images....Please stop worshipping actors n actresses

Can you tell me you've never held your mum's pictures before and uttered a word of prayers while holding onto it?

amunkita:
1... Luke 1 vs 28, it was a greeting not a prayer, telling her she ve found favor from God amongst the women of the earth.
2. Luke 1 vs 41-42, this passage confirmed the above, because of a truth, she noticed she was blessed with the messiah nd never a prayer.
3. Luke 1 vs 43, never said she was the mother of God expect u re reading from a catholic bible, this is what it say, "And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me"

4.James 5 vs 16, did not say such, pls don't lie against the bible, this is what it says, "Confess your faults to one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much"....

Finally sir, go to exodus 20 vs 4, nd tell me that the catholic faith observes same nd don't forget to read Jeremiah 44 to see who u worship by calling queen of heaven.

What is a prayer? From the literally point of view?

Prayer is an address to someone. In court, the lawyer prays the judge to see the law from his perspective.

The Angel Gabriel addressed/prayed/hailed mary and informed her of her role.

She's blessed and all generations shall call her blessed. But you choose not to. Or aren't you part of the generations?

Mother of my Lord? and Elizabeth's Lord isn't God? or the child in Mary's womb - Jesus isn't God? Maybe you don't believe in Trinity.

The prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Do you know any mortal as righteous as Mary. Born without sin? And then you feel asking for her prayers is wrong?

My brother.. In your quest to discredit the Catholic Church you don't mind distorting/misinterpreting or even discrediting some portion of the Bible.

We do not fight against flesh n blood please read Ephisians 6:19-18 besides God does not need your legion of Mary to fight his battle for he has said vengeance is mine....he's a consuming fire n need no man to fight for him read ex 4-ex20

Then why are you casting and binding in your church? Why not go to bed because he's a consuming fire?

Nna mehn, Please go back and read my submission that you quoted carefully.

Proffdada:
what is your pope doing?

Kissing a statue of Mary...

The same way you kiss the picture of your child or gf or wife or mother when you're far away from them. the Same way you put the pictures of your child, wife, mother in your wallet wallet to remind you of them.

Do you consider yourself to be worshipping your wife, child or mother when you kiss those pictures?

If you do, only then can you say the pope is worshipping Mary because he kissed a statue of her.

asuustrike2009:
Do Catholics SERVE Mary? Yes, as in “Legion of Mary.”

I want to talk about just this part of your long write up. I was a legionnaire during my undergraduate years. Now here's the idea behind the Legion of Mary.

Historically, the Legion refers to an army. A roman army. So basically the legion of mary is an army that fight beneath the standard of Mary.

and here's the rationale.

In Genesis 3:15, the Bible said "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

The passage above refers to "the woman". This woman is Mary and her seed is Jesus.

This passage above said the enemity is between the devil and the woman. Mary is the Devil's enemy - The first and the last. The Legion of Mary is an army devoted to fighting Mary's enemy - the devil through prayers, good works and kindness.

I hope you understand now

Proffdada:
do you worship angels?

I don't worship angels neither do I worship Mary. I honor them.

What do you have to say about Jacob's action in Genesis 32:26 when he said "I will never let you go unless you bless me" in deference to an angel.

Was he worshipping the angel?

Proffdada:
JESUS , the disciples and apostles never for once made reference to or give a hint to 'honor' mary. Instead emphasis was laid on the Holy spirit. Please retrace your steps to the truth

The Angel Gabriel honored Mary in Luke 1:28. How much more we mortal men who are below the angels. Hebrews 2:7.

You my brother needs to stop criticizing what you don't understand.

amunkita:
If the catholics re bible believing, they would ve known that making supplication through the "Queen of Heaven" is a prayer to the wife of Baal....
That is idolatry....
Jeremiah 44 vs 17- 26 or read the whole passage.

Here is the full Hail Mary Prayer and the Biblical backing

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with you (Luke 1:28)
Blessed are you amongst women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus (Luke 1:41-42)

Holy Mary, Mother of God (Luke 1:43)
Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death (James 5:16).

So you're still this stupid?

laudate:
Why are you talking about Kogi and Benue? Where were you in 2015, when the army launched Operation Awase to flush out militants from the Lagos creeks who were breaking pipelines in the region? They even shelled the area with the help of the Airforce. Did residents of Ikorodu and Arepo hurl stones, bottles and missiles at the army? No. The army came in, conducted their operations and left peacefully.

In March 2017, the army conducted Operation Ex Harbin Kunama II specifically in Southern Kaduna, Birnin Gwari, Kyambana Forest and some volatile areas in Plateau State, Lame Burra Forest in Bauchi and Falgore Forest in Kano State. no record of assaults or skirmishes were recorded, to the best of my knowledge.

Operation Lafiya Dole also took place in the North, which entailed massive movement of personnel and military hardware across the region, but nobody confronted the army and told them not to pass a certain area. Why the one in the SE ended in a skirmish is what needs to be investigated. Your IPOB chaps unwittingly turned themselves into combatants by hurling stones, missiles bottles etc, at the army and things escalated from there.

Stop comparing apple and oranges..

Militants in Ikorodu destroys oil pipeline, IPOB is hugely non violent. conducting rallies.

Boko haram killed, murdered and kidnapped. IPOB did none of those.

Udmaster:
must the igbos be the sacrificial lamb in nigeriaall the time?
Are we the only tribe in Nigeria?

No lamb chooses to be a sacrificial land (Apart from Jesus )

The shepherd chooses the lamb to sacrifice.

The Igbos never wanted to be a sacrificial lamb. but the Nigerian system has always seen them as the sacrificial lamb.

That's why we're where we are today.

The Biafra struggle is the Igbos saying they're tired of being a sacrificial lamb. That they want to be left to take care of themselves than being taken care of by a Shepherd who will always see them as a sacrificial lamb.

mabea:
Please dont be naive. With this assertion of yours you will only end up pushing the op to his doom. This lady does not love the op let alone his family. I had a similar experience which i've shared already.

Your Experience isn't the same with OP's. Stop judging OP's situation based on your experience

Shut up and thing with your brain. Is that the characteristics of inferiority complex? Go back to school and learn what inferiority complex mean. Call off the wedding or regret it. She is a green snake, under the green grass and eating the green grass.

noun
1. an unrealistic feeling of general inadequacy caused by actual or supposed inferiority in one sphere, sometimes marked by aggressive behaviour in compensation.

you are welcome

Udmaster:
Thank you buhari for bringing the military for operation python dance in south east,
lets put an end to this stupidity by ipob led by that UNN dropout called Nnamdi Kanu,
a restructured Nigeria is the best for Igbos,
this senseless agitation for Biafra will attract war and Igbos have no support to face such a thing now,
even the Niger deltans will deny us and start singing ONE NIGERIA when the war start,
they are not in support of any Biafra, stop hoping in False sense of solidarity!
ipob is sponsored by opposition party to disrupt buhari administration,
Igbos wake up! War is looming
Why will Igbos who are found in every corner of the nation choose breaking away to restructuring?
Now there are crisis here and there, if the north retaliate, do you know how many Igbos that will be killed ?
Why cant Ipob reason with their brain?
Thank you Buhari for the operation python dance,
please the court should hurry up and give an arrest order on kanu so that the evil opposition agent Kanu will be arrested?
What about our investments all over nigeria, it will be seized all over,and Igbos will start from scratch to built again,
why making things difficult for ourselves?
seccesion is war because this is Africa,
and who are you secceeding with?
Remember the ijaws,ogonis,urhobos,itsekiris,ibibios,efiks etc have warned you guys to count them out of biafra map,
go and start war and watch them dancing ONE NIGERIA
Abum nwa afo Igbo,
a restructure Nigeria, o ga akara anyi nm,ka ria ndufu kanu ne edufu nyi
ndewo nu

I am Igbo too and I don't support Operation Python dance.

We never saw an Operation Tiger hunt in the middle belt when the fulanis ran riot in Kogi and Benue.

So what exactly is the need for Python dance in an area that is a lot more peaceful without any breakdown of law and other apart from peeps exercising their freedom of association.

As for the Biafra struggle, I'm not a fan of Nnamdi but I am sympathetic to his cause. Nigeria as a country is very flawed. This is a country that doing things the right way gets you nowhere.

you are beginning to see all the restructure drama which are Knee jerk reactions to Nnamdi and IPOB. Prior to Nnamdi, the elites paid lip service to restructuring. And this macabre dance they are doing at the moment is an act of deception to calm Nnamdi and IPOB down. The moment that happens, they will discard the restructure buzz like it never happened.

I may not be in 100 percent support of Nnamdi's MO but his MO is the only language Nigeria Understands

laudate:
She is not in awe of them, she hates/despises them! She is the possessive type, who wants everything to go her own way. Did you read the OP's subsequent post about how she flared up, and said that his sister was "controlling him" simply because his sister got him the services of a different vendor who charged him 280k as against the 400k his wife wanted to spend?



A woman who truly loves a man, would at least make some effort to show some affection to his family by getting closer to them. A woman who loves a man, would be concerned about the things that matter to such a man! My cousin's wife used to sit down with his mum, because she wanted to hear about all the pranks my cousin got up to, when he was younger! They would both laugh as my aunt recounted the stories, and today both women have formed a strong bond!

The OP's wife has not made any attempt to build any kind of relationship with her in-laws, instead she even expresses anger, whenever the guy gets close to his family. And from his report, his family has not done anything to the wife, to justify her ill will towards them. This woman will alienate him from his family - just watch. And she would end up putting him under her thumb in order to have him at her beck & call. He should just have a showdown/confrontation with her about the issue, and clear the air once and for all. A broken engagement is far better and easier to manage, than a broken marriage.

cc: amliftedhigher

I repeat, the wife doesn't hate the family.

I read the scenario the OP painted in the later post. From what he wrote, all I can adduce from that is the wife has some sort of inferiority complex.

She feels the OP is a lot closer to the sisters than herself. And it's a completely normal scenario you see everyday amongst women.

You guys are trying to blow it out of proportion. This is something a simple discourse will handle.

The Wife loves OP right? Is it possible for one to love someone and hate the person's family? I think not.

amliftedhigher:
All good advice taken. I will not betray my family and I will not treat her bad but I pray she listens when I will talk to her to avoid getting me angry. Thanks everybody here. God bless you all and give you a good and peaceful wife and husbands.

Your wife doesn't hate your family.. On the contrary, she's in awe of them. The relationship you have with your family is splendid and she's scared the relationship she has with you might never get to the level of the one you have with your family.

You guys need to talk. You just need to allay her fears. You have to make her understand that you'll always respect and cherish your family for all their sacrifices. But she's your wife and she's number 1.
Please, do not listen to anybody telling you to call off the marriage.

Goodluck and may God bless your home

senatordave1:
I like some part of your objective but somewhat flawed analysis.obaze is a core sdministrator and would perform better than drunkard obingo.in anambra north,each of the candidates would win two lgas while obiano would win three.but pdp doesnt control the central zone.the top men here are in apc.only obi is in pdp.senator ekwunife who would likely be nwoye deputy would deliver njikoka and alongside chief arthur eze deliver dunukofia.idemili north and south are ngige's home turf and this should go to apc easily.anaocha would be split by pdp and apga.apga would take awka south.awka north has been marginalized by obingo so apc and pdp would have a field day there.thats for central,apc would win at least four lgas there.
For southern anambra,ekwusigo is controlled by emeka offor and he is in apc.although obingo appointed one of his boys as the caretaket chair,apc would take it although ozubulu would prove stubborn.the heavily populous aguata lga is where the ubas are from.apc should win it.nnewi north would be shared by all the parties while apc would take nnewi south marginally.orumba south would go to apga while apc would take orumba north.ihiala is controlled by hon emeka anohu of pdp and obaze would have it but obijackson should give some votes in okija to apga.so,i see apc winning.anybody that want to counter this analysis should do so with a good expose'.

Ngige can never deliver Idemmili North and South to APC. Idemmili north is highly cosmopolitan.

you really believe Ekwunife will be a deputy to Tony? I don't see that happening.

After this primary, Andy is in APC only in name. His spirit has long returned to the PDP.

Then you haven't considered APC's battered reputation in Anambra. The masses don't see APC as a viable alternative.

APC's only hope is massive rigging

I knew PDP will present Oseloka Obaze.

Obaze was an integral member of Peter Obi's Administration.

An excellent diplomat and expert on policy formulations.

He was largely tipped to fly the APGA flag in the last election. But he gave way for Obiano to immerge the candidate.

Now, it's obvious that PDP will win this Election.

With all the flag bearers of APC, APGA and PDP coming from Anambra North, the votes there is divided. But expect Obiano to win with a slight margin.

Anambra Central is the most influential and most populous part of Anambra. The men that matters are from this part of Anambra. Expect PDP to win this area on the strength of Peter Obi's clout and influence.

Anambra South looks to be tilting towards PDP. No thanks to the APC's "betrayal" of Andy Uba. The full machinery of the Uba family, The Offors are now squarely at PDP's disposal. PDP will win this area comfortably.

Overall, PDP will win the Anambra seat. Provided the election holds

U can't but love obj for his intelligence and crafty manner.


Waiting for fayose to criticise this statement

This singular action also contributed in no small measure in diminishing the operational capabilities of our armed forces.

Most of these 93 officers were battle hardened generals, great tacticians and strategists. And he fired them.

Now, the Nigerian Armed Forces can't effectively deal with Boko Haram

Oseloka Obaze is the most qualified to be governor amongst the candidates

That Prof is a lunatic. I remember when he used to storm Henry Carr PG hall those days during my MSc. He is a sadist and was challenged severally by few PG students then.

The guy na idiot..

One PG student asked him then..

"Sir, you went to school in Australia right? Was this how you were treated?"

The man was just talking gibberish

MetaPhysical:
They care very much. They do not see Saraki in their 'right to rule' mantra. They have said repeatedly that they do not want the country divided. Saraki is power hungry and can be manipulated to go against that desire.

The North will rather have Saraki than a Tinubu stooge.

What do you think will happen if Tinubu gets hold of power?

Tinubu is way more ambitious than Saraki. The difference is that Saraki understands horse trading.. he's will to lose some to get what he wants..

But Tinubu is one greedy bastard that wants to win all the time..

The North will always prefer Saraki to Tinubu

MetaPhysical:
At whatever cost, Saraki's rise to Acting President position will be shut down because it leaves the Senate President position open for Ekweramadu, PDP, to take control of Senate.

APC will not allow PDP to get that far.
Yoruba will not allow Osinbajo to be displaced, whether Saraki is Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani or Ibo is inconsequential
North will not allow Ekweremadu, an Ibo to lead Senate with the ongoing contentions of restructuring, secession

Anyway you cut it, Saraki will not get there. I noticed he was in the lineup of the . pall bearaers for Maitama Sule's casket. Its symbolic,...Saraki is recommiting Ilorin's allegiance to North. He would not do that if Maitama was from West. People like Saraki is what North count on to hold political majority but then they always have a ceiling. Saraki is at the ceiling.

And you think the cabal cares about that right now?

The cabal cares only about the preservation of the "North's right to rule".

They are better off with Saraki than a Tinubu puppet, Osibanjo in power.

When they secure the presidency, they can then worry about an Ekweremadu led NASS
