honor2011: And what about this Mr bornfanatics: If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant, and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky… Take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death. – Deut 17:2-7You need some education. In no part of those verses quoted was anything ''Christian'' mentioned. Those commandments were meant strictly for the Israelites - The children of Jacob (Israel indeed is his name). So, all that you quoted is hogwash. Try again. |

| Christianity Etc › Cameroon’s President Orders Pentecostal Churches Closed by ono(op): 6:11pm On Aug 15, 2013 |
http://www.newsinnigeria.org/2013/08/cameroons-president-orders-pentecostal-churches-closed.html Cameroon’s President Paul Biya has ordered the closure of nearly 100 Christian churches in key cities, citing criminal practices organized by Pentecostal pastors that threaten the security of the West African nation. But Pentecostal pastors said the move is evidence of Biya’s insecurity about the churches’ criticism of the government. Biya is using the military to permanently shut down all Pentecostal church denominations in the nation’s capital, Yaounde, and the North West Regional capital, Bamenda, which have the largest Christian populations in Cameroon. More than 50 churches have now been closed, with the government targeting nearly 100 in eight other regions. “We will get rid of all the so-called Christian Pentecostal pastors who misuse the name of Jesus Christ to fake miracles and kill citizens in their churches. They have outstretched their liberty,” Mbu Anthony Lang, a government official in Bamenda, told our source Wednesday. Nearly 500 Pentecostal churches operate in Cameroon, but fewer than 50 are legal, he added. On Sunday, a 9-year-old Christian girl collapsed and died during a prayer session in Winners’ Chapel, a Pentecostal church in Bamenda. The girl’s mother, Mih Theresa, told our source @ newsinnigeria Wednesday that the pastor intended to cast out the numerous demons that were in control of her daughter’s life. “I want the government to stop these pastors who use mysterious powers to pull Christians and kill then for more powers. All my children have ran away from the Catholic Church in search for miracles, signs and wonders,” she told our source while holding back tears. Another Christian, Mveng Thomas, said his marriage ended abruptly when a Pentecostal pastor ordered his wife to dissolve their union. He said the pastor described him as “an unrepentant devil.” Pastors marched against the government’s decision Wednesday in Bamenda and Douala. Pastors said the Biya government sees the mass proliferation of churches as a threat. Boniface Tum, a bishop of the Christian Church of God in Yaounde, said that Biya, who has been president since 1982, is becoming insecure about the freedom of speech within these churches. “Authorizing only the Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist, Muslim, and a few other churches, is a strict violation of the right to religion,” Tum added. Targeted Pentecostal Christians in Bamenda are transforming their private homes into churches. North West Regional governor Adolphe Lele L’Afrique said Wednesday that police had discovered the abduction of 30 children under age 18 by a pastor in Bamenda. The pastor said he wanted to remove the children from a bad society, Lele added. Government officials also say that some pastors convince congregants that they do not need professional medical treatment for their ailments. “How can a pastor say the sick needs no medical doctor? We need sanity in our Christian lives,” Nyang Blaise, a youth leader for Biya’s ruling party, CPDM, told our source One woman said her mother was refusing cancer treatments because of her pastor. “My mother’s condition is worsening after doctors confirmed she had cancer. She is dying silently, and yet we cannot persuade her to see a doctor for proper treatment, against her pastor’s wish,” Deborah Tanyi said. |

bulletproofmonk: Because Anini was renowned for spraying some of his looted stash for market women makes him a legend too,abi? SOme of us are equally as guilty as the leaders we have.Now, think about this for once. Ibori bought that Wilbros outfit (true, with state funds). He employed foreigners to help train local people and in the end professional craftsmen. IF that deal had worked out as I think it should, today, we would have thousands of people (most likely Deltans) working at Ascot as technicians of different shades. Now, lets do some comparisons. We all know that many governors (including Amaechi of Rivers and several others), the Jonathans, Anenih, Tinubu, Buhari, OBJ, Atiku etc) are all in this ''Nigeria ship'' for what they can get from it, basically - they don't really care much about you and me. And many of them even have ventures and businesses overseas providing job opportunities for non Nigerians and others. Ok. So, we have ''thieves at the top'' - and there's little someone who cannot afford 3 meals a day can do about that. So, we have in one of them, an Ibori, who decided to spend ''part'' of his loot creating job opportunities for brothers and sisters back home in naija. And all we can do is to do all in our power to rubbish that and fold up the business. And so, many people are out of jobs today. The Oceanic bank story is the same (this one, I don't have much info). But, you see, that bank provided several job opportunities to many graduates. I heard at some point, it was the best paying bank in the country. So, we did all we can to kill that and make many jobless. My point is this: True, whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. And we should not say because we have thieves ruling us, we too should follow the thieving bandwagon and do some kind of ''good'' that's transient. But look at Ibori. Wonder why he's got someone like me on his side? Well, I have seen things with my eyes to make me overlook his bad side -forgive him, and look on his bright sides to assess him. |

At times like these when greed is the order of the day, the norm with almost ''all'' politicians since we gained ''independence'' from military rulers in 1999, poor Nigerians that you see on the street barely knows what message you're trying to pass across when you ''preach'' about corruption. Let me explain. The ''average'' Nigerian have been so ''impoverished'' that the availability of essential infrastructure to help him cope with everyday living is seen as a ''blessing'' - not a right, or something they should hold their leaders accountable to. So, when a government focus attention on infrastructural and human capacity development like James Ibori did in his own little way, he's hailed as a demi-god. What I'm saying is that you need to understand the angle these people are coming from. Perhaps in the future when Nigerians (I am NOT referring to those living in the US, UK and elsewhere, who are the more exposed and experienced ones and who can see things better than the average naija man at home) know better, then, they can better appreciate what needs be done. Ibori's government focused on two major sectors of the state development during his time as governor: Education and Infrastructure. These were the areas that had the greatest impact at grassroot levels across the state. I will leave out civil service, remunerations (that was the best in the country under his watch), health and another big one: Sports development (will be nice to group this with infrastructure). He had a goal and focus and he achieved it - despite all the setbacks. For those of us who were in the state at the time, we saw with our own eyes how government worked in Delta state. It isn't all about the monies spent on any project. It is the heart this man had to help alleviate the sufferings of the poor masses in Delta state. This is because, if you look at things in proper perspective, many of the governors in the country aren't really accountable to those who vote them in. I mean, how would you go about ''bringing your government to book'' when you can barely afford 3 meals a day? - the lot of many Nigerians. So, when they have one who's willing to work for the good of the masses, would you blame them for embracing him? The delta areas require more funds for capital projects to be properly executed than most parts of the country because of their terrain. So, the amount you spend putting up a kilometer of road in other parts of the country could be 3 or 4 times that value in the delta. Maybe this was what informed his foray into ''resource control terrain''. And so, Bomadi bridge - that bridge that linked the Ijaw areas of the state (and indeed, even Ijaws in nearby Bayelsa state) to the upland was so dear to all the Ijaws in the country that even when Ibori is dead and long gone, that bridge will make them immortalize him. As a matter of fact, Ibori was named the deputy Governor-general of the entire Ijaw nation because of this project. If you follow what you read in the pages of newspapers as your gospel truth, you will be misled. Do a thorough investigation. Weigh issues in a balanced and logical manner. Try and be reasonable, and you will be a better person for that. 2 Likes |

You all will do well not to believe all that you read on the pages of local newspapers. Sometimes, it's better you experience things first hand and weigh that experience in the light of what you read on those ''paid'' newspaper pages. I am a living witness to what James Ibori did to Delta State when he was governor. Lets thank God for little mercies. The man remains the best governor Delta state has produced since the creation of that state. He sure has his failings as a man, and there are things many of you guys who comment here don't understand. But as some have stated already, it's those in Delta state who can ''properly'' comment about the person who governed them. The things we do today speak volumes in the future about us. Ibori had his chance. He made good use of it and he will be celebrated. |

http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2013/07/daily-chart-12?fsrc=scn/fb/wl/dc/rewardingwork All of those monies....and the best they (some of them, actually) could come up with is to covertly legalise child-abuse and marriage in the hallowed chambers. A Nigerian legislator receives an annual salary of about $189,000, equivalent of N30 million, which is 116 times the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) per person, says the publication which was posted on the magazine’s website on Friday. The figures put salaries collected by Nigerian senators and members of the House of Representatives way ahead of those received by fellow parliamentarians in the 29 countries whose data was analysed by the Economist.... While the salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the country’s GDP per person, that of a British member of parliament is just 2.7 times. ...only Australian lawmakers, with $201,200 annual salary, receive higher amounts compared to Nigerian legislators, but their salaries are only 3 times their country’s GDP per person.

naptu2: The 1979 constitution did not contain provisions for renunciation of citizenship. During constitutional review debates in 1979 Aminu Kano (the leader of the PRP) felt that the age of 18 years used in subsection 4a was an arbitrary western concept of maturity. The legislators in 1979 at the time agreed with the PRP argument and subsection 4b was included.1. Can we have the list of the other 12 states where the Child Rights Act is not domesticated? 2. Is Zamfara state among these 12 states? 3. It would appear to the discerning minds that the sought amendment could impact negatively on child-marriage adventures of pedophilic senators (e.g. Yerima) back home, hence their push for clause 4b not to be removed from the constitution. 4. These senators hide under the guise of ''citizenship renounciation'' to help them perpetrate their evil pedophilic acts. 5. Every wise meaning Nigerian should push for the deletion of clauses in the Nigerian Constitution that expose children to dangers from these beasts called lawmakers, to save our society from further harm. The Child Right Act MUST be made to come into full force in all the states of the Federation, so that the likes of Yerima and his ilks will be made to spend the rest of their miserable life behind bars. |
