So Far, Buhari Looks Like A “Dogo Yaro” Rather Than A Very Smart and Proactive Leader…But That Could Change By Dr. Wumi Akintide

Thank you, sir! May Buhari not fail to deliver!!

Will the President stay in Katsina for the whole of Ramadan? Should he? Is Nigeria going to be on autopilot in the interim? .....

I thought Kashamu said the British had discharged and acquitted him!

He's renewing his source of power!

[quote author=sweetgala post=34816589]What did the otuoke fisherman do about his kit an kin from the ND other than give them all of Nigeria wealth to keep them silent. I'm sure buhari would dislodge BH and stop accusing him of bigotry when history shows he has been faitr to all [/quote

If GEJ failed, Buhari must not fail.

He may do so, not because he is Igbo, but because he is PDP. Ethic sentiment is not always about selfishness. It has its healthy role to play in our national life. Unfortunately, the way we express our ethnicity in Nigeria, many times, shows crass selfishness which seriously contributes to our corruption as it creates unfairness and injustice in the system. Ditto for religion.

Greed rides on ethnicity, religion and corruption to put us in mess we are in today. Will Buhari help us? We think he's not greedy. But is he an ethnic and religious bigot, as he's been accused? Or has he redeemed himself truly as he has claimed? Will he surreptitiously implement an Islamic agenda? Will he deal with the AK47 carrying Fulani cattle herdsmen who are causing mayhem in the country and are his kith and kin? ...... Time will tell. May the Good Lord delivere us!

What did we expect? For them to agree?
If you were one of them would you agree?

This distraction won't help us o!

Right now what they earn (which is unrealistic) is backed by law. There are other sources of leakage, more massive than legislators's salaries, that are illegal. We should address these ones first. The legislators will fight to finish over this matter.

Nigerians are the ones who must vociferously demand a downward review of this unconscionable income e.g. by making it an election / re-election issue.

'The love of money is ....'

..... the reason why they are legislators! We should be careful less they work against our collective interests!!

I was a new student in an 'ajebota' school, having come from an 'ajepaki' school. My first day in school the class teacher who taught English language asked why I didn't do a particular test. In reply, I said 'I am not here then' and the entire class exploded in laughter making gun shooting sounds.

I was later conferred with titles such as 'Rabon Zolo', 'rebon dele' and 'the fastest gun man from the west'. Today, I know better and still learning.

However, how good are we with our own indigenous languages and dialects which have become vernacular in our own land; and for which students are punished for if spoken on school premises?

Language is the centre of any people and culture. Take it away the people lose their identity. Colonialism has taken its toll on our languages in Black Africa.

..... paapa awa Yooba!!

It is a revert to the concordat of 1914 or earlier between the British and Fulani-Hausa oligarchy to mutually colonise Nigeria. Both are arch conservatives. The indirect rule in the North and direct rule in the South provided evidence. The diplomatic shift towards the West now is apparent.

I have only 2 main concerns: Islamisation agenda and the havoc being perpertuated by AK47 carrying Fulani Herdsmen. Let's see how Buhari will handle these. The desire to have pastor vice president twice is suspect. Was is to deceive?

Fashola and Fayemi be careful o! God is Alive in Nigeria.

Judgment day is coming. Sooner or later we will know the truth.

Some old and young know what is written on their clothes. Others are ignorant. The former may have a motive to get people's attention. BOTH are at risk of rape and STIs

He has no choice!

[b][size=13pt]The bible is a fake bullshit that we only accept because it is so ancient and we where brought up beliving it.

Let us stop being afraid of God because thousands of people are atheist,hindus buddist etc and nothing happens to them.

Churches are burnt,bibles are torn, saints are crucified and nothing happens.

If God says he exist and want us to worship him,let him write it in the sky.....why hide from us and ask us to belive u exist and if we dnt,you will punish us in hell while u say that you love us......sounds like something the devil will do not god.

Why give us many religions and ask us to blindly choose the right one and if we couldnt,you will punish us.

Why do you like our praises so much if you are so great and dont need us.....we never asked to be created in the first place.....why do you ask us to thank you for bringing us into this vile and ruthless world.

I will never worship or serve you because ur rule is by fear.....pple dnt love you,they only pretend to out of fear.....love is unconditional and your is....quench hell and let us see how many people will actually serve you.

You drown men for disobeying you.....stalin killed for the same reason.....you asked the isrealites to kill people that worship any other except you,boko haram do the same thing.....jephtah sacrificed his daughter to you, meaning you accept human sacrifice like all other heaten gods.

I promise that if you ever exists and armagadon comes,i will ride with satan and the fallen angels against you and make sure you are sent to the bottomeless pit(pls make it hotter because you will enjoy it soon)

Satan never did anything to man by your own account in the bible.....he said we sld eat the fruit and be wise and it worked.....the worst thing he did was mess with job and you allowed it

But you

You unforgiving beast allowed your son to be killed so that you can forgive us and we still go to hell after that.

You allowed a bear to eat 52 children for insulting elijah.

You drowned you so called beloved ones because they disobeyed you....what would tge devil hav ton in this case?

You orded the murder,rape and enslavement or whole cities.

You allowed your beloved ones the isrealites to be enslaved because they disobeyed you due to your poor managerial skills.....even hitler would not do that.

I can go on and on to prove you are the greatest beast of them all.....even baal is better that you[/size][/b]

Good! Congrats!! Time will tell. Eternity will give final proof. Our eyes then will truly open. Since Baal is better than the God of the Bible, that means you must have an intimate relationship with Baal. You can choose to follow him. But know this for sure:

John 3:16 For God so loved the world (YOU), that he gave his only begotten Son (FOR YOU), that whosoever (YOU) believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

May we ultimately meet at Jesus' feet on that day safe in His presence. So long!

Retain your job and do part time masters degree programme.

Rendezvou:
There are many unscriptural activities going on in the church today which Christians pretend not to see. The more we keep silent, the worse things would become. Though we are aware that many happenings in the church today are signs of the end time, it is our duty to put things right and strive to revive the ‘old time religion.’

1. Charging Consultation Fee-
Paying certain amount of money before you can see the man of God has become a common practice in many churches nowadays. So many pastors have commercialized deliverance, salvation and spiritual counselling against the Lord’s wish- Matt 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

2. Selling Some Spiritual Items-
I’m more particular about churches selling holy water and anointing oil in plastic containers and bottles where worshippers are disallowed from bringing theirs but compelled to buy from the church. Let them buy from wherever they choose; your role is to ensure those items are blessed and sanctified.

3. Making Tithe Card Compulsory-
I have no objection to the issuance of tithe cards for those who want it. Some churches have denied
members some privileges because they do not have their tithe cards which serve as evidence to know tithe payers. I, like many others prefer paying tithes anonymously. Someone may be paying tithe regularly having his card checked and signed by the pastor and still feign being saved.

4. Setting up too many church societies-
It is unfortunate that church leaders rarely check the activities or attend meetings of these societies. Many have derailed from their essence and a lot of such church societies now run like town meetings, social groups or cooperative societies. Let us cut them to size, review their activities regularly, and ensure prioritization of spiritual events in these societies.

5. Singing and Dancing to Worldly Music-
We really need to watch it here. We listen to hip hops, Rocks etc which are trending and become tempted to copy the rhythm and sometimes lyrics of such music for church use. Many of these songs and dances are not glorifying God so why copying the world? Ladies now twerk and wiggle in sexually provocative styles in churches at the sound of such worldly music. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world , neither the things that are in the world . If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Choirmasters and Music Coordinators pls take note.

6. Stipulating Minimum Amount for Offering-
Few days ago I was in a gathering and the pastor announced that those who do not have up to a certain amount of money to put down as offering should not bother to come out. This wasn’t the first time I’ll hear this announcement coming from the alter. This approach to collection of fat offerings should not be encouraged in the church. Jesus praised the poor widow who cast just two mites into the treasury because that was all she had [Mark 12: 41-44]. If such marginalization was declared before casting of offering at the temple, the poor widow would not have been able to cast her offering which Jesus acknowledged as the greatest of all offerings. Pastors should stop deterring people from casting their offerings; we do not need to inform them that fingers are not equal. Preach and tell the congregation the benefits of giving bountiful offering to God and let Him nourish His word in their heart and not indirectly telling them, ‘you cannot give the little you have to God.’

7. Organizing sport/game Competitions-
I do not know when sporting became an important spiritual exercise in the church. I once attended a church where a football match between two parishes led to a serious fracas. This later grew to a feud and it took many years for some of the youths and priests to heal the wounds of bitterness sustained during the match. It is more ideal to organize Bible quizzes and competitions which is very much unlikely to sow seeds of discord.

8. Letting out Church Premise/Properties for Secular Purposes-
I my humble opinion, it isn’t right to rent out church properties for non-religious activities such as club parties, political meetings etc. They may violate your rules and you would not be able to stop them until they are through.

9. Organizing Excursions and Sightseeing-
This should be left for our work places, families, schools and any other moderate social groups which we may belong to. Christ sent us to the whole world on a mission assignment to evangelize and win souls to the kingdom and not to catch fun. I have attended an excursion organized by the youth leaders of a church and to be honest, nothing gave glory to God in all we did. In fact, it may turn to an avenue for brethren to engage in sexual immoralities.

[b]10. Inviting Secular Musicians and Comedians to Perform at Church Functions-[/b]I have heard some blasphemous jokes from many comedians lately. It is so saddening that churches invite such performers to anchor programmes and all you hear are disrespectful words against God all in the name of making people laugh. How can you bring a secular musician to the church and expect him to bring down the spirit of God with his or her hip hop or RnB?

May the Lord revive the church again. Amen

End times! The world has become churchy. The Church has become worldly!!

Good idea! But upon which statistics? The national ID cards are not even there yet for everyone. I don't even have one! How sustainable is this? Won't this be another cesspit of corruption! Some will get employed and still collect the 5k. Unemployed ghosts will surface. A syndicate will arise.

ojaydedon:
tnx.. But u sound as if hell is a personality...

Yes, as a metaphor. But may mean the fallen angel in charge of hell itself.

It seems 'death' is 'male' and 'hell' is 'female'; husband and wife. Both are vitally linked. Hell is like a womb, an enclosure of some sort. Everyone is conceived and born in spiritual death and kept like spermatozoa in the testes of Mr. Death. Unsaved people at physical death are 'ejaculated' into the 'womb' of hell.

Just some imaginative thinking!!!

Emereolevanwill:
Yorubas ehh.

Not Yoruba! But just plain human wickedness. It is a global problem.

A sword has 2 edges. People reap what they sow. Omar may deserve this but other leaders must learn a lesson. The west is behind much of this global system to punish those against them rightly or wrongly.

May their friendship last. May they be positive influence on their spouses for our good!

The 3 musketeers?

What an elder! As for Saraki and Dogara, I think the body is in APC, but the heart is in PDP. May God help them to do what is right.

God will catch crafty men in their own craftiness. It's just a matter of time!

hahn:
This only proves how worthless our titles are. How many igbos, yorubas and other Nigerians who are NOT muslims can bear the sheik title?

Crappy leaders and traditional rulers that we have in this country though

*modified*

Thanks to some guys who quoted me and pointed out my ignorance. So, he is actually NOT a sheikh BUT he still has a title and a street was even named after him. What exactly is Jay-Z's contribution to the Nigerian economy? Just because he came for a concert he had to be given a title and have a street named after him?

I'm a big Jay Z fan but until wiz kid has street named after him in the US just because then I still find this a highly misplaced priority

PLEASE SEE BEYOND WHAT YOU SEE. JAYZ IS NO ORDINARY BEING. BUKOLA SARAKI AND THE EMIRATES ARE NO ORDINARY GROUP. THEY UNDERSTAND. YOU DONT. YOU ONLY SEE THE OUTSIDE. WHAT IS INSIDE IS BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION.

It is good to be rich, but let us also be rich in God. May he live long to enjoy the fruit of his labour.

Gradually, the word of God is unfolding before our 'koro koro eye'. From one currency for 1 continent we shall move on to 1 global currency for all! Then the mark of the Beast will finally come out. The world including much of the church is in slumber moving on as if it is just going to be business as usual. Jesus and the apostles have warned us of this time. Many will be caught unawares. May we not be among these. Come Lord Jesus and take your possession!

Sad, so sad! Adeola was great in her job. Her approach was unique, but she obviously was not perfect like you and I. Some hate her approach for exposing their errors. Most of these are corrupt Africans and Nigerians in particular, and of course, their supporters, mostly ethnic and partners in crime.

Mugame is a shame on black Africans! He deceived his people and today they are slaves in their own country. He claimed to be a patriot against white rule but has turned round to be the oppressor. Adeola asked him legitimate questions. The approach might be flawed, but the subject was germane.

Those of us condemning Adeola, let's search our motives.

[color=teal]Wow, why is the TV in the background saying ©2014.. Op are you ®etarded or you are just high because of the cheep weed you bought.....Stop spreading fake news[/color]

Very good observation! But seriously, it could mean 2 things. 1) This was 2015 but an AIT 2014 programme was on air or 2) It was completely fake as you observed! News will confirm or refute it by tomorrow. Thank you.

The beginning of self destruction!!

Congrats to Lagos and Ambode. I hope accrued revenue will be used for the people. What about adequate compensation for the displaced?
