The wife of the President, Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, has stirred reactions online over her statement asking Nigerians to choose between poverty and wealth in the Saturday’s presidential election. DAILY POST reported that Aisha on Thursday asked Nigerians to “decide whether the poor should become poorer and the rich richer or a society where the gap begins to be reduced.” The First Lady stated this on Thursday while presenting empowerment packs to 1,250 women and youths from the six area councils of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja. In a statement by her media adviser Adebisi, Olumide Ajayi, quoted Mrs. Buhari, as saying that “poverty is one of the indices that encourage people to embrace vices like terrorism, kidnapping, and begging.” Aisha’s statement has since been met with criticisms and diverse reactions from Nigerians online. While some Nigerians on social media identified Buhari, APC as ’Poverty’, others identified Atiku as ‘Wealth’ Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter: @Olarounye “You are right Madam, I chose wealth, the kind poverty your husband brought upon us is so excruciating, Atiku is Wealth.” @Chizybae “This woman already knew that buhari has led us to world poverty Capital, and comes to tell us to choose wealth or poverty, probably everyone wants wealth, thus indirectly telling Nigerians to vote Atiku and kick poverty Buhari out! She is a genius.” @Ray_vicsson “What I love about Aisha Buhari is that she always talk in parables. She knows fully well that her husband Buhari represents the poverty she’s talking about. Nigerian people has been living in abject poverty since her husband took the mantle of leadership. So vote wisely.” @ForaNewNigeria1 “This woman has given Nigerians enough clues. She has done her own campaigns and voting. We’ll have ourselves to blame if we don’t heed her warnings.The choice is yours to make.” @Sundayodc2018 “If you know you know, Aisha has finally make it clear to Nigerians. Vote for Atiku.” @Ezediniliu “We have made our choice, Atiku. We are tired of poverty, job losses, killings, etc.” @Godsongoodnews1 “Something I love about this woman, she always comes up with truth .Nigerians know where they’re now and they know where they’re wish to be tomorrow. Say No to Buhari and his poverty APC, Vote Atiku for wealth.” @EmanuelUchenna “I so much like this woman, I wish she is the one contesting for this election. Poverty is the next name of APC.” @Bless_jerryp “Aisha always win my heart. You have proven once again that you are not made just for the “kitchen and the other room” @Juliusdennis7 “Madam, I now know the difference between poverty and wealth. Buhari is poverty and I reject it. Poverty must go.” @mydins2014 “Buhari and Atiku, Poverty and wealth: Let those with wisdom understand Mama Aisha.” @Idokojan “With this, first lady have just taken pity on hungry and impoverished Nigerians. And she has sincerely told us to go vote Atiku. I respect you ma! You have indirectly told us this long ago by being reluctant in campaigning for Buhari. We’ll surely vote Atiku ma.” |
Google has revealled that two days to the election, one dollar has droped from 360 naira to 185 naira after 3 years of 360 naira to a dollar exchange rate. APC used their 3 years reign to milk the economy in order to rig one saturday election ![]()

PapiFlin:thats what ignorant christians will say, The bible never predicted any such thing. Infact, if you understand what mark of the beast meant in the bible, you will just be laughing at the ridiculous idea of microchips or sensors or the obamacare myrth ![]() |
budaatum:not that they disagree. They really dont understand some aspect of their holy book The Christian just hasn't presented God in such a way that they may see. Perhaps they should try harder.that is very true. There are many texts, even much older than some parts of the Bible that predicted what is happening today. Try reading the works of Plato for starts. You'd think God wrote it himself.interesting! How come predictions like that are never popular among philosophers of today? O, not only "their own history", but the history of the universe as well. But, do not worry. We are here in the University of Nairaland preaching history to one another.that is a great thing to do |
budaatum:if any christian want atheists see God by all means,even when they dont want to see any evidence of his existence, it is wrong for that christian to do that. You missed out 'going to the Jesustician for Jesusglasses', which the atheist hasn't gone and got.and that is the only place the evidence lies, where atheists hasn't gone and got. Now, it will be ok for them to say they have not gone and they dont want to go, therefore they dont know what theists are talking about like the agnostics have done Actually, many. Too many to list. The inability of the atheist to see God or spirits is confirm by what they have read and the fact that Christians take their blindness seriously thereby affirming what they can't see. Or would you rather they lie that God and spirits they haven't seen exists?certainly not! But they should remain neutral. I tell you one truth, the human mind is convinced by what he has seen, hear and read. If theists have read their holy book, it will only take atheists to equally read that same holy book for them to have a critical mind to dispute what theists have believed. Otherwise, its of no use countering them by the atheistic state of mind. Atheist do not depend on instinct, paxonel You hear them yelling, "show me the evidence for your God!"the evidence the op presented is that Jesus christ in the bible predicted that christianity was going to be the largest religion, that was approximately 2000 years ago. We are in 2019 today, we can google it. Christianity is actually the religion with the largest adherents today. The question is, are there anything like that in human history that someone will predict something, after 2000 years the whole world is seeing the evidence of truth in the prediction? I am yet to see anything like that, if you have any, please let me know. Atheists depend on evidence of their senses and will always present it when asked for it, I can vouch for that.evidence from senses isn't enough. Records and reality are more reliable. When holy books from theists serves as record, and that record points to a reality such as someone predicting something in the holy book and that thing became reality after a long period,then i dont know how senses can explain that? Who's record and for whom?i will see how far nigeria as a nation will go, when people who were supposed to grow up to become tommorrow leaders do not understand their history ![]() |
Emmanystone:evalute your state of mind. I am very good at noting monikers, dont quote me again , i will simply ignore you |
frank317:so what do you want? I should go all over again ![]() |
JujuSugar:this article was written by one Ishaan Thadoor, that is his opinion? You are buying peoples opinion without requesting for evidences? What happened to the wikipadia you posted before if not for your desire to make references to errors? ![]() There are other sub links in the post too. Look those up if you're interested......let me ask you, do any of these articles present live evidences like what the op of this thread presented? You are yet to go back to the evidence or prove of God existence presented by the op to see whether there are any element of truth or lies in it. You said and I quote:So,how does this question by the op makes the op seem to think that(i quote you) evidence is required not to believe in something" according to you ?? Where is the correlation between what you seemingly think the op said with this question the op asked atheists "what are your proves that God do not exist??"[/quote]Unlike you sir, i'm not confused ....[/quote]yes, you are extremely confused by the op's consistency I just want to make sure that YOU know what your statement implies......may be you should be sincere enough to seek clarification first, before you start thinking or presume ![]() I was expecting this replyyou are yet to point out where the op said his religion christianity is the only religion in history or disprove the existence of other deities. absolutely correct? .......You don’t seem to feel the need for evidence to support not believing in 99% of religions. We both agree on that.i did not agree with you on that. The op presented evidence or prove of God existence, you did not comment on the proves pretending as if you did not see it. Rather, you were saying many other things which did not relate to the prove in a bid to beg the simple question the op asked atheists " what are your proves that God do not exist? ' If any atheist has presented any prof to support their belief that God do not exist, the op will look at it. The op has presented it own, but no atheist has commented anything on it, rather they are diverting ![]() Why do you think I suddenly need evidence to go just 1% further, namely the 1% that just happens to include only your own religion?the only evidence of whether God exist or not comes from my religion and the op has revealed the evidence. If you were not interested to see it, then you should not comment in the first place. It was meant for atheists who were interested to read it. Why does your religion require a different standard of epistemology to all the other religions you reject without a second thought, or even a first one?do the other standards of epistemology have live evidence? Let them say it, i want to see it. The op gave an undisputable live evidence, that christ predicted that christianity was going to be the largest religion even before the christianity was created. And when we googled it live today, we saw that it was exactly what he said, and you people cannot díspute it ![]() That is a resounding evidence. Let other standard of epistemology bring their own evidence lets see how live it is ![]() Dont post article, Bring out a fact from the article to show that something happen and relate it to present day reality, that should be your prof |
UyiIredia:monkey, comment on the reasoning if you can or get out. Insulting people will not help you. Rubbish!! |
frank317:if you are truly serious with all these your claims about christianity, you would have disproved the evidence presented by the op on this thread. Since you didnt mention anything about the evidence presented by the op, go and rest till you made up your mind to do so ![]() |
Emmanystone:truth is bitter abi? ![]() Go and read this scripture again John 10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers all the prophets including abraham, elijah, isaiah, jonah, etc) but the sheep did not hear them.So abraham is a thief, even with that the jews did not obey abraham. When jesus was saying abraham is a thief, it does not mean abraham stole or abraham was bad. He meant, abraham is not the owner of this world. That he owns this world. John 1:1 (You might be thinking, what does this world has to do with Gods kingdom?) Infact, there was a statement he says before abraham, he(christ) existed . So, understand what i am driving at. But we dont get salvation through abraham, we got it through christ. So anyone going to God through abraham(people practicing judaism) are intruders |
Emmanystone:unbelievers, like pharisees of those days which were elders in judaism. Also muslims, hinduists, atheists etc In general, everyone practicing religions other than christianity. Jesus says i am the way, that means abraham is not the way, Muhammed is not the way. Abraham founded judaism, muhammed founded islam. They are all intruders Jesus described abraham as thief. Thieves are truly intruders |
JujuSugar:ok, i didnt noticed you were asking the question c/ Have you read your bible from cover from cover?ofcourse yes, a lot of christians have done that too Ever heard of the Epic of Gilgamesh? Let's begin with thatso how does this predate bible? what if after laughing and saying all these you do not come out with something reasonable? ![]() By your original post, you seem to think evidence is required not to believe in something,.....oga the op did not say that, okpe!!! so presumably you have taken the time to eliminate all the other gods that humankind has worshipped fervently over the millenniafirst, you said the op seem to think (that means you are not sure Now, you are saying presumably ![]() My guy, you have to be sure of what you saw in the op What is your evidence that they don’t exist (not to mention the evidence that your particular deity-of-choice actually does exist)?.......forget the assignment, The op never disputed the existence of other deities Now that you did not come out with something reasonable can you take back all that laugh you posted previously? No you cannot. Thats why it good to present your argument deductively rather than inductively especially when you are not sure where to arive ![]() |
JujuSugar:ok, go ahead ![]() *Whistle!!!*you brought the ball, its my turn to play and you are blowing whistle, what kinda ref are you? Everyone is free to believe what he believes. You are answering another question....did you even care to read the op at all? You have presented no reasonable evidence. Hence this reversal of my initial question fails horribly.....you did not read the op, how will you see the evidence? You did not read the op, all of a sudden my argument is poor ![]() |
Golden6: ![]() |
JujuSugar:everyone are talking. Talk is meant for eveyone, you are talking i am talking so whats your point ?? So I'm going to ask these questions, then tomorrow (or anytime) if you want to have an argument, we'll move on from here......no court has ever barred a christian in a secular world from going to church simply because he believes that God exist. b/ Since I consider evidence is required before evaluating claims, why should I believe your claim to be a Christian?put it this way, since you have refused to see the evidence i presented on this thread, why should you believe my claim? c/ Have you read your bible from cover from cover?[/b]lie, you did not.i have never seen any one story that predate bible, or do you have any? I am eagar to learn e/ I believe in the Flying Spaghetti monster. Now prove he doesn't existit doesnt matter! It is your willingness to know new things that matter. But if you are not willing to know there is absolutely nothing i can do. I mean, whether you are christian or not it doesn't change anything. You are perculiar and good the way you are, and me that believes i am perculiar and good as well. But one truth that will prevail, before you can convince a christian that there is no God you will first have to understand what the christian has understood that makes him believe that God exist for you to counter him and convince him properly. Otherwise, you are chasing a wild goose |
Emmanystone:ofcourse yes, there are gates in heaven. Gates were meant to restrict intruders access to heaven |
JujuSugar:bush man! This is not how ad populum is applied. Google it incase you have missed your general studies ad populum simply means appeal to the populace, What i posted is a data extracted from wikipaedia, Do you even know what wikipaedia is? Do you think wikipaedia will just appeal to the populace? What populace? The christian population? You must be an illiterate big joke, go and sleep jo ![]() |
Emmanystone:the violent he was referring to, were his followers at that time before he was crucified(his disciples). Not those who want to take down the pillars of the church as you presumed. Whoever want to take down the pillars of the church is not fit for the kingdom of God, talkess of taking the kingdom of God by force. To take the kingdom by force implies to enter the kingdom of God by all means . And those who think the scripture refers to christians praying fire prayer to fight and kill their enemies they are all confused as you rightly noticed, please dont follow them For you to understand that scripture, before Jesus was crucified he had even more than 5000 disciples or followers who violently followed him and ate five loaves of bread and two fishes at a time in the wilderness, these disciples or followers of christ did this in a bid to enter the kingdom of God at jerusalem.(they thought that the kingdom of God will come down physically at jerusalem were jesus was to be crucified. Luke19-11) This happened in the days of John the baptist before and after john the baptist was killed(before christ was crucified) according to that matthew 11:12 you quoted. |
Emmanystone:exactly |
Emmanystone:inspite your various translations, you still do not understand who Jesus meant by the violent in his statement the violent taketh it by force, you are far away and totally lost. But me that studied the king james properly, i have a clear understanding of what that thing is. You will agree with me that English changes with time. The English that was used in the time of king james are not the same english we use today. King james translated scriptures to the english of his time directly from the hebrew scripts, you cant compare that to what comtemporary english translators did, infact some of them did their translations directly from king james, but they uttered a lot of things because they could not understand the old english usage. |
frank317:good for them ![]() But we all know what is good by their fruits and positive contribution to humanity. To be a christian is as simple as just believing in christ in your heart thats all. But there are series of complications and rituals you must perform to show that you are truly adherents of the other religions, some of which may involve killing and pesecution of what they call infidels. Trust me, only fake gods commands people to be ritualistic this modern day |
Christ didnt say you should go to church. He says believe in me and be saved, thats all. But staunted churchgoers believes that apart from believing, they must do something extra. Now,see what they are going through in the hands of men called men of God. |
helinues:i dont jump into other faith i know little about. If all these faith you mentioned recognizes the living creator then they are equally good |
festwiz:before nko, Do you think Christ is interested in catholicism or protestant or whatever? He says whosoever believes in him shall be saved |
tobechi74:clap for yourself ![]() |
Emmanystone:so what is the difference between sexual immorality used in this version with fornication used in king james? But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery.unfaithful? Contemporary English ![]() Ok, check 1 corithnians 5:1,is the word unfaithful used in place of fornication in this version? Contemporary English Versionthis version is saying terrible sexual sin. What is the terrible sexual sin? The translator didnt know. Yet when you quote 1 corithians 5:1 of that CEV, terrible sexual sin was not used in place of fornication seen in king james version 1corithian 5:1(CEV)have heard terrible things about some of you. In fact, you are behaving worse than the Gentiles. A man is even sleeping with his own stepmother. I think some of these translators are confused . They have done good job by translating the old english order of king james to what modern day people can understand, at the same time they have uttered the intended picture and understanding of original writters such as king james. Dont depend on their translations totally, that is all i will say ![]() |
Emmanystone:then they should say nothing categorically about the spiritual |
Emmanystone:my friend stop commiting fallacies here, focus on the issue first So if she sleep with another man who is not related to her or her husband she hasn't committed adultery?is this how to explain a simple scripture? What is fornication(not adultery) doing in that scripture involving married people, Explain ? |
frank317:did you say probably? I am 100% sure because i read it, and i googled it and google confirmed it. But you are saying probably because your position is not 100% sure. Why? Because you did not read. Since you did not read and know what i know, why not say i dont know that God exist like the agnostics? You people are not sincere Look at ur nonsensical response to his post.that the guy commented even when he has not read bible to know what i know? The best you can do is to attack by saying nonsensical. It is a sign of ignorance ![]() Oga, stop forcing urself to believe what u know is not real.since you dont have proves, oya come force me not to believe now. |
Emmanystone:ok, Read what Jesus christ himself says Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication (except it be for her sleeping with her husbands son as described in 1cor5:1), and shall marry another, committeth adultery: Now, take note of the embolded. A married woman commit fornication. Explain that ![]() |
johnydon22:very true I betthis means you are not even sure of what you have been saying ![]() it also predicted that human population would increase.what do you mean by the emboldened IT? Bible? That bible also predict human population increase? You are a big joke ![]() You are begging the question by jumping into what the op did not ask, population increase ![]() Yes.give one person in human history who has predicted a thing from what has not existed and it came to pass ![]() Therefore, your conclusion is idioticyou see, i have choosed to cut out a lot of your emotional(non intelligent) fallacious ad baculum such as the emboldened. If you try that again i will simply ignore you ![]() Go and learn how to make constructive argument i thought atheists were suppose to be intelligent people? 2. Absense of evidencei just posted evidence quoting matthew 13:31-32 you didnt analyse that, rather you brought population increase which didnt follow 3. Inconsistency of beliefok, among christians? Its common among atheists too 4. Inconsistencies of source materialthese are irregularities among theists, i agree with you 6. Illogicality of arguments such as yoursthat is making to become so emotional rather than using your brain ![]() 7. Dependency of belief on lies or exaggerations.you are right here. These are characteristics of some christians which may not truly point out the true nature of the bible. That notwitstanding, if you shying away from reading the bible yourself i dont think you are qualified to comment in the first place. This is why i love the agnostic position. They dont care about bible therefore they agree that they dont know whether God exist or not. But you atheists are not sincere, you will argue as if you know, yet you dont read ![]() |

all the prophets including abraham, elijah, isaiah, jonah, etc) but the sheep did not hear them.
