The scripture says we should even pray for those that curse you
As you pray for his health may God also bless you In health

The FOOLS( sorry for the word) that lack the wisdom to know that if PMB succeeds we all succeed and if he fails we all fail

At 73 he even works harder and goes thru more stress than most of you children commenting because Nairaland has given you an opportunity to feel important

May PMB succeed GOD WiLLING because the only thing that will end the Hunger is HIS success and not His Death or Failure

Oya olodos Start commenting

No matter how stupid and clueless his successor will be, he will be far better than PMB. So his death will be d best tin to happen to Nigerians. At 73 he's supposed to be in Daura checking on his cows. If u own a company, will u employ a man of 73 to be ur manager? Obviously NO

IN pursuit of their quest to wrest political power from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders of the emerging mega political association, Action Democratic Party, ADP, yesterday, zoned National Executive Committee slots to the various zones of the country. They also declared their readiness to submit the documents for registration as a political party to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, next week. The ADP is said t o be promoted by aggrieved leaders of the APC and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. According to a document released by the political association, the National chairmanship position has been zoned to the North Central; South West, Deputy National Chairman; South East, National Secretary and National Legal Adviser; North-West, National Organising; and South South, National Treasurer. The ADP has made provisions for two zones to produce the deputy national chairmen as it was during the early days of the PDP, just as it created a new office, National Diaspora Adviser, which has never existed in PDP and APC. According to the breakdown, North Central will produce: National Welfare Secretary, National Vice Chairman, Vice National Organising Secretary, Deputy National Woman Leader, Assistant National Secretary, Deputy National Treasurer; National Vice woman leader, National Vice Youth Leader and Ex-Official (2 males, 1 female). The North-West, aside the position of National Organising Secretary, will produce: National Woman leader, National Vice Chairman, Vice Publicity Secretary, Deputy National Secretary, Deputy National Youth Leader, Deputy National Welfare Secretary, National Vice Woman Leader and Ex-Officio (2 males,1 female). To the North-East, the positions are Deputy National Chairman, National Vice Chairman, National Auditor, Deputy National Financial Secretary, National Vice Woman Leader, National Vice Youth leader and Ex-Officio (2 males, 1 female). South South has the positions of Vice National Welfare Secretary, National Vice Chairman, National Youth leader, Deputy Woman Leader, National Leader- PLWD, Deputy National Legal Adviser, National Vice Youth Leader and Ex-Officio (2 males,1 female). South-West will produce Deputy National Chairman, National Publicity Secretary, National Vice Chairman, National Financial Secretary, Vice National Organising Secretary, Deputy National Youth Leader, Deputy National Auditor, National Vice Woman Leader, National Vice Youth leader and Ex-Officio (2 males,1 female). To the South East, the slots are Vice Publicity Secretary, National Vice Chairman, National Diaspora Adviser, Deputy National Organising Secretary, Deputy National Leader- PLWD, National Vice Woman Leader, National Vice Youth Leader and Ex-Officio (2 males, 1 female). Meanwhile, following the nod to go ahead with the procedures for full registration as a political party by the INEC, the convener of ADP, Alhaji Yabagi Sani, told Vanguard, yesterday that the association would submit all the required documents to the electoral commission, next week. He said: “We have just entered a new year, a lot of activities are going on, people are excited about what is taking place; the time has come because of excitement. Papers are being prepared to be sent to INEC, we are putting everything together for INEC and in a week or two, everything would be concluded and sent to the Commission. What we are seeing now is beyond our imagination.” At the maiden national meeting of the ADP in Abuja, last Monday, Alhaji Sani had said that what has been put in place is the mega party Nigerians have been hearing about, saying, “ this is the mega party, if you hear of the mega party, this is the mega party.”

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday enjoined faith-based organisations in the country to shun rumours that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was moving to Islamise Nigeria. He told religious leaders after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Student Christian Movement of Nigeria (SCM) in his office, that they should dwell on facts. Recall that before the election in 2015, Prof. Osinbajo spoke out that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was not secretly plotting to Islamise Nigeria if it won the election. Osinbajo He again reaffirmed that stand stressing that the rumour making the rounds about plans to make Islam the official religion of Nigeria were unfounded as the country “can’s be Islamised”. Osinbajo emphasised that it was impossible to Islamise the country given the 1999 Constitution that forbids state religion. He urged religious bodies to channel their energies towards proffering solutions to the numerous challenges facing the country. The vice president also challenged Nigerian youths to wake up from slumber and take advantage of abundant opportunities in ICT, agriculture and other sectors. While noting that the opportunities were far much more now than they were in the past, Osinbajo harped on the need for young people to take responsibility for their future and be creative. He also emphasised the importance of using the internet to acquire knowledge as well as learning a second language to boost their global competitiveness. Expressing appreciation to SCM for the honour, the vice president solicited the organisation’s assistance in disseminating factual information about the Federal Government’s policies and programmes. Earlier, the National President of SCM, Rev, Eric Ighalo, commended the government for its social interventions such as the N-Power initiative and the conditional transfer scheme. Ighalo expressed the willingness of the body to partner with government in several areas including serving as government ambassadors in their constituencies. The SCM national president said that the award was conferred on the vice president in recognition of his integrity and outstanding leadership he had demonstrated over the years. The award presentation, according to him, culminated the 75th anniversary of the organisation-source Vanguard

Yes after death is JUDGEMENT. Either heaven or hellfire. There is no purgatory. That is Catholic doctrine and has no biblical backup.

After death a sinner goes to hellfire. And a righteous man goes to heaven. They will remain there till the final Judgement. There are 2 Judgements. The judgement of the saints will be immediately after the Rapture and during the great tribulation happening on Earth. After the (Bema Seat of) judgement of the saints, comes the marriage union of The Lamb with his bride (The saints). Bible says 'Abraham.... shall sit'. This is the Judgement of the saints. And there is no remembrance of their sins because they have overcome.

The final judgement of sinners comes after the MILLENIAL REIGN OF CHRIST. (1000 years of peace and bliss on Earth). Satan will be loosed from prison to deceive the world for a season (note: not the saints) and will gather them like the sand of sea. But they will be destroyed by fire, and Satan will be cast into the lake of fire. Then the judgement of sinners will begin. It's called 'THE WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT'. Hellfire will give up its inhabitants. And they will be judged according to their works and be cast in the Lake of fire. And hellfire itself shall be cast in the Lake of fire. This is known as 'The second Death'.

The current heaven and earth shall pass away/disappear. Then there shall be a New Heaven and a New Earth.This is where the righteous will dwell for all eternity with God and the Lamb.

check 2 maccabes 12: 40-45, luke 12:47-48, 1cor 3:14-15, 2Tim 1:16-18, 1john 5:16-17. It's quite obvious u've been brain-washed by these jet-flying, tithe-driven, business-minded pastors. Catholic church's teachings remains the real deal, believe it or not. There's purgatory, check those bible quotations.

There are still a number of countries in this
world where Christians are forbidden from
celebrating the day associated with the
birth of Jesus. Check them out below:
1. England
Cromwell
Oliver Cromwell overthrew the monarchy
and oversaw the execution of King Charles I
during the English Civil War, but for many
the fiery Puritan leader is better known for
banning mince pies.
Christmas and the celebration of saints'
days was discouraged – if not prohibited –
in England between 1647 and 1660 as the
country was ruled by a puritanical
movement that considered the feast day
'giving liberty to carnal and sensual
delights'.
They mandated that shops had to remain
open and cracked down on celebrations,
leading to violent clashes on the streets of
London and other cities. Life returned to
normal after Cromwell's death in 1658 and
the Restoration two years later.
2. Brunei
Brunei banned public celebrations of
Christmas and imposed fines and jail terms
for those caught celebrating the festival in
2014, an edict that was reiterated in 2015
by religious leaders writing in local
newspaper, the Brunei Times.
"These enforcement measures are ...
intended to control the act of celebrating
Christmas excessively and openly, which
could damage the aqidah [beliefs] of the
Muslim community," they said.
It specifically banned the wearing of
Christmas costumes such as Santa hats, the
lighting of candles, the signing of religious
songs and putting up decorations such as
Christmas trees. The Sultan of Brunei, a
billionaire who owns hotels across the
world, introduced a strict interpretation of
Sharia law on the territory last two years.
3. Tajikistan
The reclusive former Soviet republic
country's education ministry issued a
decree in December outlawing Christmas
trees, the exchange of presents, fireworks
and festive meals.
Sky News reported that while the
restrictions in 2015 are the strongest yet,
anti-Christmas regulations have been
getting increasingly restrictive over the last
few years in the Muslim-majority country.
In 2014, the Tajik government banned
Father Christmas and three years earlier a
man dressed as Santa was stabbed to death
in the capital on New Year's Eve. Tajikistan
also bans Halloween and in 2013 and 2014
police rounded up revellers dressed as
zombies and vampires.
4. Saudi Arabia
Little surprise that Saudi Arabia, a theocracy
governed by the strict Wahhabi doctrine of
Islam, is not a big fan of Christmas.
In the past, expatriates had quietly
celebrated in the comfort of their own
homes (and will likely continue to) but
rumours of illicit Christmas parties
prompted state media in January to
reiterate that celebrating the festival was
not allowed in the kingdom.
It went further by forbidding Muslims from
greeting non-Muslims at Christmas, with a
Saudi scholar saying:
"If they celebrate the birth of God's son and
you greet them... it means you endorse
their faith."
In 2015, it emerged that some expatriates
in Saudi Arabia were going further, tweeting
pictures of their Christmas trees and
children dressed for the occasion.
5. North Korea
Back in 2013 North and South Korea almost
went to war after the latter erected a giant
Christmas tree at the border of the two
countries.
North Korean state media said that the
huge Christmas tree – which was lit up in a
town close to the border and clearly visible
from the North – was an act of
psychological warfare.
North Korea does not officially ban
Christianity but is ranked among the most
hostile countries in the world towards
Christians.
To complicate matters, December 24th –
Christmas Eve – is celebrated in North
Korea as the birthday of the Sacred Mother
of the Revolution, Kim Jong Il's mum.
6. Albania
Albania not only banned Christmas but
religion as a whole in 1967, making the
country the first and only constitutionally
atheist state.
The ban on any and all religious worship
was only lifted after the fall of the
Communist regime in 1990, when both
Christians and Muslims were able to
practice for the first time.
During the Communist years many priests
and religious leaders were rounded up and
jailed, but the pious celebrated Christmas
and Easter nonetheless in private. They
would have cake or chicken at meal times
as a way of marking the days.
7. USA
Puritans, up to their usual tricks, attempted
to ban Christmas when they arrived in the
New World in 1620. They branded the
festival 'Foolstide' and decreed that the only
religious day that should be celebrated was
the Sabbath.
The Puritans managed to keep the ban
going until the middle of the 18th century,
at one point even arresting the Sir Edmund
Andros, the Governor of Massachusetts,
when he tried to sponsor a Christmas
service.
8 CUBA
Fidel Castro announced the Cuban
government as atheist as soon as it took
power in 1959 but it wasn't until 1969 that
the Communist leader actually banned
Christmas, as he wanted the population to
stop partying and start working on the
sugar harvest.
It was Pope John Paul II who eventually
persuaded the now late Cuban leader to lift
his ban during a visit in 1998, when Castro
agreed to make the day a national holiday.
9. Somalia
Somalia banned Christmas in 2013 when a
directive from the Ministry of Justice and
Religious Affairs stated that no Christian
festivals could be held in Somalia.
Sheikh Ali Dhere, the country's director of
religious matters, called a press conference
a week before Christmas to make the
announcement.
"We alert fellow Muslims in Somalia that
some festivities to mark Christian days will
take place around the world in this week. It
is prohibited to celebrate those days in this
country," he said.
It was the first time that the Somali
government had banned Christmas since
the country's government collapsed in
1991. In 2015, the government in
Mogadishu went further, banning New
Year's Eve celebrations and ordering the
police and army to disperse any
celebrations it found.
10. China
Christmas and Christianity as a whole were
banned in China after 1949 but you would
not know that if you were to visit during the
festive season today.
China goes mad for Christmas, and it is not
just Chinese Christians that get in on the
act – while Christmas is not a national
holiday it is a widely celebrated festival day,
akin to New Year, with fireworks and fancy
dress in abundance.
While Santa Claus costumes and hats are a
common sight on the streets of Shanghai or
Beijing during Christmas, other costumes
are less traditional – devil horns, for
example, are sold widely to mark the day.
Couples also like to treat Christmas as akin
to Valentine's Day, exchanging gifts and
going out for romantic meals.
Local media reported in 2012 that, like in
the West, the Chinese use Christmas an
opportunity to hit the shops, with Christmas
Eve the biggest shopping night of the year
for some retailers.

Popular Nigerian pastor and founder of Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), Bishop Oyedepo has caused uproar after his video of payment of tithes and offering hits the internet. Bishop Oyedepo In the video, Bishop Oyedepo disclosed that those who pay their tithe are qualified for God’s blessings adding that there are conditions to receiving God’s blessings as long as one takes to prophetic instructions. “Everybody believes that God has an open heaven full of blessings for his people but it takes your tithe to open the file for you. So if you only know the promise and you don’t know the conditions, you will die frustrated. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of sin, poverty, death but what does it take to get there, it takes faith in the demand. People just believe the problem but not the demands. It is believing in the demand that entitles you to the fulfilment of the promise. There is no provision in the scriptures without conditions attached. Even as free as salvation is, you need to repent before you can be saved. There is nothing provided for without conditions to make .”-Naij.com

Sixteen members of the European parliament have asked the European Union High Commission to challenge President Muhammadu Buhari on the detention of Nnamdi Kanu. The Members of European Parliaments called for independent investigation into the alleged killing, torture and illegal arrest of members of the Indigenous People of Biafra by security operatives. Some members of the European parliament (MEP) have risen in support of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu. The MEPs – 16 in number in a joint letter have asked the European Union High Commission to take action on human rights abuses against members of the IPOB. The letter addressed to the High Representative and vice president of the EU high commission Federica Mogherini said the unlawful detention of Kanu and the violence against IPOB members by
Nigerian government must be looked into.
The letter which was dated Monday, December 19, said Kanu has been illegally imprisoned since October 14, 2015, despite being acquitted of all charges brought against him by the Department of
State Services. It was signed by Julie Ward, Ana Gomes, Bart Staes, Beatriz Becerra, Brando Benifei, Catherine Stihler, Ernest Urtasun, Eva Joly and Hilde Vautmans.
Others signatories to letter include: Jude Kirton-Darling, Kati Piri, Miapetra, Kumpula-Natri, Michèle Rivasi, Nessa Childers, Pascal Durand and Philippe Lamberts. The letter read in parts: “The authorities accused Kanu and his two co-defendants, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, of trying to overthrow the Nigerian head of state by broadcasting secessionist propaganda on the underground media outlet Radio Biafra, which campaigns for the independence of Biafra from Nigeria. Kanu, Madubugwu and Nwawuisi deny all charges brought against them.” “On 19th October in Abuja, the Chief Magistrate, Honourable Shuaibu, discharged Kanu of all criminal charges including the allegation of managing and belonging to an unlawful society, criminal intimidation and of criminal conspiracy. Shuaibu granted Kanu bail, of which all the conditions were met, but the Department of State Services refused to release
him,” the letter said. The MEPs said charges of criminal conspiracy, engaging in unlawful society and criminal intimidation were then withdrawn on December 16, 2015, but still Kanu, Madubugwu and Nwawuisi have not been released. “On 17th December 2015, Justice Adeniyi Ademola ordered the unconditional release of Kanu from the custody of the Department of State Security Services, but this was not enacted.
“Kanu’s counsel has since appealed to the
Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to help ensure his safe release, but to no avail. A court case on 5th October 2016 was later adjourned to 8th November, which has now been amended to 9th February 2017, due to the
Nigeria Department of State Services failure to bring Kanu to court,” it said.
It also accused the Nigerian government of sending warnings to the ECOWAS community court sitting in Abuja not to intervene in Kanu’s continued detention and trial. “It is clear that the fundamental human rights of Kanu, Madubugwu and Nwawuisi are being grossly violated. Human Rights Watch have reported of the violation of the defendants’ rights, including their right to a fair trial. “What is more, the Nigerian Government is also
reportedly violating the human rights of Biafran activists. Scores of Biafrans are in detention for attempting to hold or participate in peaceful assemblies,” the letter added. It further accused the Nigerian government and security forces of using excessive force against pro-Biafran activists who have embarked on
peaceful protest in Nigeria. Referring to Amnesty International’s reports on
cases of arrests, disappearance and torture of IPOB members by security operatives, the MEPs said, it is unfortunate that no investigations have been carried out. “The right to peaceful assembly and association,
as well as the right of freedom of expression, is protected by the Nigerian constitution. International human rights standards also require that law enforcement officials must, as far as
possible, apply nonviolent means. “It is clear that the Nigerian authorities are not
operating with respect to the Nigerian
constitution or the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. The letter also said: “On behalf of the European Union, especially in respect to the EU-Nigeria
partnership, the Nigeria EU Joint Way Forward, the developments of the 6th Nigeria-EU ministerial dialogue and the fact that Nigeria is a recipient of EU aid, we call upon you to: "Advocate for the immediate and safe release of Nnamdi Kanu and co-defendants Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi," They also called on the EU High Commission to
challenge the actions of the President Muhammadu Buhari, and the DSS in regards to the detention of Kanu, Madubugwu and Nwawuisi. They called for an impartial investigation into the arrest, enforced disappearance, torture and killing
of supporters and members of various pro-Biafran groups and denounce the unacceptable violence against Biafran supporters by Nigerian security forces.
They also urged the EU to do more to push the Nigerian government to safeguard human rights in Nigeria by calling for guarantees on the freedom of expression of all Nigerian citizens, including their right to protest without harm, and the termination of violence towards Biafrans.
