The solution to the problems in Nigeria is simply a united South (almost impossible), so long as Igbos, Yoruba and all the south-southerners remain divided along whatever lines they choose, the North will remain indomitable..... Northeast, northwest and to some extent, middle belt, only exist in geography, in reality they are just a united force to keep the south under subjection and their strategy is "divide and rule"

Happy Birthday Daddy!

May GOD help us

May GOD save us all.

Political wickedness in high places

His arguments are apt.

The average Nigeria is very intelligent, the mediocrity of our leaders impedes our potentials. Energy that should be spent on productive endeavors is lavished on frivolous outburst of frustration.

But.....

Its all about to change.

Dumb, lame and very unintelligent excuse.


Sometimes you just wonder if this people think the rest of us are mentally paralysed.

Money and snake swallow money

The president does not speak often

Blah blah blah

helinues:
Jokers dem

Goliath never saw his defeat coming, by all means not by the hands of little David. Mighty men/edifices are usually undone by things considered inconsequential in comparison.

Mark my word, this is the beginning of the fall of all adversaries of Nigeria and it people.

Very simple,

A civilized Nigeria is not in their favour, both individually and collectively.

Pathetic!

Why on earth would a president choose the killings of his own aggrieved citizens over a presidential address.

I have every reason to believe Buhari is not the in charge of Nigeria or there is a deliberate move to provoke the nation to unrest so that violence can be unleashed on the south.

The phrase "forces beyond our direct control" by the Governor of Lagos state has a lot of meanings to me.

Dear LORD of the Masses, Arise!

Any address by Buhari at this time is belated.

I don't know why we have to raise a cry for him to speak on sensitive issues, besides every time he eventually succumb and speak, it never made any difference.

May GOD help us in this country.

It worries me that although he was MKO's running mate, he was busy enjoying appointments under Abacha while MKO was in prison......such character cannot be trusted.

Congratulations sir and ma!

May GOD fill your life with increasing bliss and abundance of Grace in JESUS name, Amen

Thank GOD for life.

Please, he should stop the hide and seek style already. Some of us were genuinely worried. The corona is creating enough tension already, we cannot afford a political tension in addition.

His present "style" according to Femi Adesina, will do us no good at this time, he should change his "style" and talk more to Nigerians even if it would be just for this period, he can go back to his normal self when the trouble waters of corona are calm or dried up.

Long live the President

I really like what you wrote here.
Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria....
Although I have never lived there, my heart truly breaks for the country.
I really mean it.
When I said that you guys are deeply in my prayers, I meant it.
I was even wondering about Boko Haram...whether they knew what was going on and had ceased their activities?
They need prayer as well...as much as I sometimes do not want to do so for them.
Perhaps one, two or three may surrender their lives to Christ...regardless of the circumstances.
I am even praying very deeply for (6) specific people here on Nairaland...four of them know because I have told them in one way or another. However, the other two people here on N.L. do not know, but I have been impressed to bring them before the Lord daily which I am committed to doing.
Anyway, we, Christians should be sharing the Saviour with the world AND looking introspectively into our lives to see if we truly are in the faith.
Makes me think about the large number of "disciples" (minus the appointed 12) that Christ had in the early days of His ministry (John 6:65-68 KJV).
Yet when the going got "tough", (meaning the truth about His personage and what His ministry entailed), the crowd dwindled down to only a few.
See people wanted the benefits of being around a supernatural, blessed person, yet weren't willing to sacrifice what was required.
It's very easy to preach a prosperity gospel and enjoy the "alleged" benefits from it, but is that the gospel that Christ preached and lived?
Gargantuan buildings, nice clothing, expensive cars, wealth and fame won't do a person a bit of good once Jesus returns.
Pastors, family members, ministries, co-workers etc., cannot save you.
Only Jesus Christ can.
Christians, (me included), start truly developing a real, sincere, unbreakable bond with your Lord and Saviour.
Stop playing church, dig into that Word through prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, confess and forsake your sins, and then go into the world with the commission of (Matthew 28:18-20 KJV).
Who's really ready to get down into the trenches, minister to lost souls, and introduce them to the Only One who can set them free from sin and bondage?
This pestilence is only the beginning of birth pains for the end times. We are told in the scriptures.
This is more prophecy being fulfilled and should really increase our faith in Christ Jesus.
Worrying and running around hysterically about a cure for a pestilence in this world which will one day soon be destroyed, while one's soul is unclean and lost (be it in the church or out) yet not thinking about eternity truly shows where one's heart is centered.
Christians, we must do better.

Thank you very much for the rejoinder, GOD bless you Ma.

I am seriously looking for a time when I can also share the longsuffering of THE LORD, forbidding that any soul should perish but desiring that all should come to repentance.

May GOD bless and increase you in grace in JESUS name.

Its really a trying time for the world right now and all I can say is that may GOD have mercy on us all.

Many Christian have said that the pandemic is a judgement of GOD on the sinners, but I believe (like I said in my previous post on this topic) that is more of a wake up call to the saints. Its really amaze me to see how children of GOD are seemingly rushing to take refuge in the blood of JESUS and in the secret place of THE MOST HIGH, I thought that's where we have been dwelling all this while.

Really, if you have truly lived privately and publicly like the child of GOD you claim you are, there would be no need for the emergency proclamation of security as if you were in any way insecure the whole time. It is the wicked that flee when no one is pursuing him, the righteous at the other hand is as bold as a lion.

That said, I want to say that this is not the time to tell the world how judgemental GOD can be, but a time to proclaim, the love of GOD personified in JESUS CHRIST, a time to tell them of the rest and peace that can only be found in CHRIST and how willingly GOD is ready to save all who come to HIM at such a time like this.

Its somewhat amazing, that we preach JESUS the righteous, who for the sinners gave HIS life and then go ahead and condemn the sinners to judgement and death in HIS name. We sit in our church, sing good songs, proclaim GOD'S blessings for ourselves and declare judgment on the world, and when the judgement came, it did not spare the assembling together of saints, as many of our worship center that we take pride in were empty on Sunday.

GOD is not in the building, HE is after the lost, and we must go with HIM fishing for men souls. Is not a paradox that there is a joy in heaven over the soul that is saved and yet there is joy on earth among the saints over the death of the wicked who died in their sin, sometimes we are even the ones that pronounce their death sentence.

Let us take advantage of the season and tell the world that JESUS saves and in HIM alone is help and salvation.

GOD bless you

No one anticipated what now is a reality as we celebrated the arrival of this year and decade, but oblivion did not save us from what now stare us in the face. Well, there is no need to fear as this too shall pass.

In the early hours of Monday this week, as I started to pray, with the coronavirus as the central focus. I started with worship as usual and about five minutes into worship, THE HOLY SPIRIT ask me what I was going to pray for, and I replied, HE said why am I praying now, since I had secured myself in the blood of JESUS from the virus. I answered that, it is not the virus now but the externalities it is creating, one does not have to contract it to feel its effects.

THE HOLYSPIRIT said. this is the major cause of damage to the world today. That Christians are suppose to be intercessor, but we have become so self centered like the world around us (2Timothy 3:2). We accommodate the spread of evil as long as we are untouched and that's not what the saviour did and really, GOD has carefully plan the world so that no individual suffers without some external cost to the immediate and extended environment. This is why The LORD clearly revealed that the second greatest commandment is to "love your neighbour as yourself" (Mark 12:30-31)

I prayed even more passionately after the conversation and left it at that. Today, as I prayed again, with even greater concern as the gathering together of saints is now being suspended all over the world. I got the following message and I feel the obligation to share.

Just like it has been confirm by many, the virus will disappear just like it came, very soon. But this is a warning to the world. So that those who think everything is addressed logically may know that there are forces supernatural that oversees the affairs of the world. More so, that men may begin to seek after GOD as the end is nearer than we think.

After the mysterious respite from coronavirus, then will come final move of GOD to the massive salvation of man. Many will be saved and many will refuse salvation to their own eternal detriment as this move will lead to the rapture of the saints (An approximate time frame was given but I won't be stating it so that some won't become emboldened to continue in their sin, arguing that there is still time.)

As for the believers, the end of this plague is not an offer to return to feasting and selfish demand for personal blessing, but to go out and preach the gospel of truth, to the saving of men souls. You will generally find ease in winning of soul during this period as the grace for salvation will be greatly released all over the world, but we must preach the word, which will communicate that grace to all that hear.

GOD bless you.

A lot has been said so far on this issue, but in my opinion, this is an open display of backwardness. Which one is "exile" again? If the government has anything substantial against Sanusi, let them take him to court already. He should be the one seeking asylum form political persecution instead......their problem!

My major concern is that another avenue for looting has been created, now that they have exiled him for live, and he is to be housed somewhere under government watch.....ehn! How much did Lai Mohammed say we are spending to feed El zakzaky every day again?

He argued that, Its a practice that is borrowed from the White man's culture and linked to female dominance in today's generation.

[b]I know the feminists would come for him, but I think, its OK, not to give the impression from the start that you're begging for a union, irrespective of genders.

Besides, many woman nowadays, base their convictions of a perfect union on such flimsy things as, matching outfit, loud proposal, elegant wedding ceremony, over hyped premarital photos and such like.

I remember a lady who told me back then that any man she would marry, must be able to carry her on their wedding day, so she is looking in the direction of any guy with well formed muscles (biceps and triceps) another one said after watching Adesua and Banky's wedding that she would get a divorce if she were to be married before that time and her wedding was not as "elegant" as theirs.

Kneel if you want and it makes the proposal as perfect as you have pictured it, travel to the moon for the wedding ceremony and whatever else works for you. But bare in mind that real married life is lived quietly, with no cameras and audience, so beyond the show, be double sure you want to spend the rest of your life with whoever you walking up aisle to make the sacred vow.

Peace to you and your relationship. [/b]

Federal Government is now public relation agency for Bandits, herdsmen and terrorists, explaining away the motive behind every of their actions, rather than securing the lives and property of law abiding citizens.

Bandits killed farmers, The president explained why.................If you know what is good for you, step out of Nigeria for now.

Human life is underrated in Nigeria, security of lives and property is reduced to mere politics.

When, the news of death, rape and destruction is no longer awe-provoking, we can bid farewell to governance and welcome to anarchy.

May GOD have mercy on us.

See ehn! I don't know why the thing is sweeting me like this oooo. Ah! So APC can have a taste of their own cake so quick? GOD is Great!

May GOD give all our proud oppressors this kind of shocker, even if all the odds are against us at the moment.

Fear GOD my Brother, Fear GOD Oh!

Chi59:

Another low IQ spotted.
So he should remove food from her mouth because he can't keep it in his pants? How would you like that to happen to someone very close to you?

We all belong somewhere on the IQ rung, and usually the other person always seem lower from our position on the rung.

I have made my case with those who are standing on the same IQ rung with me and you are welcome to hold your exalted contradiction of opinion to ours.

Destination shapes perception, we are heaven bound and that's how we see things. Nothing is too costly for the price of eternity.

Peace be with you

So what's the fuse about? Even JESUS said "if your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it off"

The woman's job at the expense of his marriage is no match. HE can help her with securing a job elsewhere but really, I would advice the same.

A simple approach in fire fighting is "starvation". Which is to remove all sources of fuel to the fire. The fire of list was burning already in the man, starvation becomes obligatory.

Do not try to measure spiritual council with, logical reasoning, that's a recipe for disaster.

GOD bless you.

Given the situation of things, I can see that the south east will be negotiating ground for the North to retain power beyond 2023.

It should be no problem at all, and really its not, because I foresee a move that will undo the north should they go in this direction. Whereas the southwest is known for compromise, diplomacy and dialogue (which maybe considered as cowardice), the common denominator for the North and southeast is ruggedity, Many will argue with this but its the obvious.

The Southwest still remain the boundary of neutrality, that keep the corrosives passions of the North and Southeast in check through the history of our Nationhood.

The Southeast is obviously in its weakest position politically and so am not surprised at all this forced decamping in deaspirate attempt to retain their hold of whatever is left of the political crumbs available to them, my caution would be to the North, they should tread softly, the Southeast are not known for loyalty, especially when they don't have to be loyal.

The good thing is, I am sure the Southeast would achieve the needed restructuring in months, (which the Southwest have tried hard to achieve in decades without success), given the same political privileges.

We dey watch!

If the events leading to Biafra were to happen in our political climate of today, Ojukwu would have been betrayed for less than a morsel of bread.

The Northern have perfected the game of divide and rule since the beginning of our nationhood.
