So the cattle rearer will be the
president of nigeria?.. what a
shame...
Well,no matter what Gej is still one of
nigeria's greatest leaders,a true
democrat.
No, a retired general in the army is going to be our president. It's not a shame.
He was also an ex president before you were born. Because judging by your comments you can't be more than 14 years old.

Can you define a Leader and a Democrat?

Christianity EtcRe: Korede Bello’s Invitation To Sing At Popular Church Attracts Criticism by pedel: 9:58pm On Apr 08, 2015
That church is just being strategic. The church is not for the saints alone; it must be welcoming to the sinners. Do you know how many unsaved young people came to that church because of the guy?

To be able to win the unsaved people you must begins to think like them. So you expect the church to invite a choirs that sings from BAPTIST HYMNAL? and expect unbelievers to flood there?

This kind of thinking is what drove people out of all the orthodox churches. You are trying to act 1875 in 2015.

You need to watch the movie SISTER ACT, starring Whoopi Goldberg and Maggie Smith.

See evangelism as fishing, you must have the right bait to catch the right fish.

^^^ Thisday report referred to Tuesday afternoon not today's. The news was in today's thisday, it stand to reason that the event reported couldn't have occurred today.
The said aircraft didn't arrive in Abuja on Tuesday.

The flight quoted in the article flew TOKYO International Airport Haneda (HND) - DUBAI International (DXB) on Tuesday

http://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/A6EWH/history/20150406/1530Z/RJTT/OMDB

However, there was a flight EK785 from DUBAI on Tuesday at 5.03pm.

Go to the Thisday Website through the original link, the story has been removed.

This information is false.
Emirate aircraft with tail number A6-EWH did not arrive in Abuja today.

The only Emirate flight that arrived in Abuja today is the Emirate flight EK785, landed at 3.21pm.

So why the secrecy and lies about the whereabouts of the FLOTFRN?

Who is talking about sacrifice? Why sacrifice? why not rituals?
The same man who promised to reduce his income and that of his FEC in 2012 after the fuel subsidy saga. Three years after instead of his expenses to reduce it rather increased. Why didn't he sacrifice 5 out of his 11 presidential jets?

PDP propaganda busted. Instead of them presenting their candidate and his programs they keep stepping on toes. FFK said they had evidence of ISIS as the sponsor of GMB campaign. Now they are saying the king promised that igbo people in Lagos would die in 7 days for failure to vote APC at the gubernitorial election. PDP in Lagos needs to get good PR advisers.

GMB need to tackle our region issue with sense or he might end up regretting coming back as a president. He need to show us that the money gotten from oil in the Niger delta is being use to develop other sector in the Niger delta like Agriculture, tourism and more. So that the poor can feel and enjoy the impact of it not Tompolo and the rest.

Damjuma stay clear of the Niger delta when ur Oil license expire.
Just like your own son did? I can't see how the current administration improved your lots or attended to your agitations. Your spokepersons were only fighting for contracts and their own 'pocket infrastructures'. Your own son was vice president/ and is president for 8 years and you are still complaining?

When they destroy pipelines what happens to their communities? environmental pollution and diseases that follows; poverty & unemployment as a result of people who can't farm and fish. They will only successfully destroy their own region. There should be a better way of getting what they want without destroying their own communities.

GEJ should have pushed for the implementation of the CONFAB reports and other things that would have addressed the agitations of the ND people.

The stupid terrorists militants should have prevailed on their 'son & brother' to push for bills that would benefit the ND/ SS people but they were only concerned with their pipeline protection contracts.

Am yet to see the difference between the 2 parties. APC still made up of PDP members and more will still join them. In other words, APC is the new PDP.

The only difference is that APC might try to make a difference but along the line, they might become the pdp of today.
GMB is the game changer. There is nothing to be compared to the power of a focused and incorruptible leader. When you have a leader who will not accept corruption under his watch and genuine love for his people and not for some cabals that, my friend, is the master stroke.

It is not what GEJ did while in power that was the problem; He built schools and roads & so on, but it is what he didn't do that turned the masses against him.
He supervised a very corrupt government. He 'never gave a damn' about things that the whole country decried. Like prosecuting the subsidy and pension thieves, turning blind eyes to the immigration job scam, not replacing the petroleum minister, played politics with Boko Haram untill 6 weeks before election; he keeps fleet of about 10 jets when we have no national carrier; he says one thing and do the opposite e.t.c. too numerous to count.

Ignore the pastor and his stupid prophecies. He should also 'return' all the girls he slept with and all the meat he stole from his mother's pot.
Repent from your sin and move on with your life. Most Nigerian Christians are suffering from 'excessive dependence syndrome' they depend so much on these fake pastors even though many of them lack capacity for reasonable thoughts.
Eighty percent of pastors in Nigeria cannot succeed in any business or enterprise.
If you like send your certificate back I guarantee you will regret that decision for the rest of your life. Mind you, this is my pastoral advice for you. God bless.

Flets:
For the love of a united Nigeria, GEJ should complete his 2nd term

Nigeria cannot survive another round of Niger delta militancy. It will be too tough on this nation. 

Dollar exchanges for 220 naira today just because of drop in crude price, further drop in production caused by damage in oil facilities will see the exchange rate go to 350 or 400naira

No allocation
No Salaries
No projects

This might sound like a threat.... but its a harsh reality.
According to FBI, Domestic terrorism involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping.

So are you saying people shoud not exercise their right to vote a candidate of their choice because of some people with terrorism tendency?
When they start destroying oil installations Nigeria will figure out what to do about them. To every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

However, I understand your point and I believe you are not in support of terrorism, you are only saying things the way you see it.
We will all see how long it will take NE to recover from being a battle ground. Yes, I believe Nigeria will suffer and survive without crude oil. It will also means the president will get to keep only one jet from his presidential fleet. We will adjust and survive.

There are many countries without crude oil and in better position than Nigeria.

It's amazing the way ffk is releasing all the financial figures even before the so called documentary is out.
I agree with everything GEJ has done and promised to do the only few things I don't agree with is their refusal to accept that the administration is extremely corrupt. They must also accept that they have bankrupted the economy beyond their capacity to restore it back.
Buhari has got a lot of work to do. One thing I know for sure is that some people are going to return stolen money under the new administration. .
Christianity EtcRe: Is It Good To Have Close Friendship With An Unbeliever As A Christian? by pedel: 3:00am On Mar 08, 2015
Yes, it is good to have friends with unbelievers; that is the only way you will be able to reach out to them with the gospel.
If you or your ministry takes evangelism and soul winning seriously you must be intentional about having a genuine contacts with people who doesnt believe in Jesus. Also you have to stop calling them unbelievers, instead call them 'yet to be christians'.
Recent studies (personal study) reveals that once someone has become a born again for over two years, they must have severed relationship with all the unsaved people around them. This is terrible. This is not good for the Kingdom.
One thing that is very funny is when we break ties with the so called unbelievers in our lives and we carry our bible on Saturday evening for evangelism; to talk to total strangers.
Evangelism is more effective when christians develop relationship with 'unbelievers', intentionally.
Jesus went to Zacchaeus house, even the jews thought that was wrong.

If you attend a church where they preach that you shouldn't have friendship with non christians then something is wrong with the theology and core values of your church.

PoliticsRe: APC Will Slash Tariffs On Imported Cars -osinbajo by pedel: 9:56am On Feb 13, 2015
Thanks for your observation and point of view, which should have been expressed without insulting others.
Nobody is saying GEJ's policy is not good but ill timed.
You dont throw away your gallons of water because you have seen cloud gathering for rain. What do you mean having a policy in full effect? We are talking about having systems in place that will make policy launch successful.
Let me seek for you advice: I want to site a factory. Is it important to have raw materials close to the factory and have good roads leading to the factory? Or I should just build the factory first and later figure out other factors that will make the factory operate successfully?

The fufu analogy is about consequencies of actions; I only expect sensible people to understand that.

J12:
That's a very shallow method of thinking. Nigerians find it very difficult to look at the big picture. Think about the future after the policy is implemented and imagine the benefits on the economy, all these things you complained about will begin to develop when the policy is in full effect.

If you're told to eat 10 wraps of fufu to cure a serious sickness, won't you happily eat more than that?
You can give your advise below to GEJ. You will succeed as one of his special advisers.
Normally I don't reply to comments like this.
One thing I know for sure is that local car manufacturers will only prosper when heigher numbers of Nigerians are able to buy their products. As it is now their major customers are the government and large corporation. I appreciate your advise about working hard and saving money, I hope you follow the same.

J12:
IF YOU CANNOT BUY A MADE IN NIGERIA CAR, THEN WORK HARDER, SAVE AND EARN MORE MONEY SO YOU CAN AFFORD IT.

If you can't. Then stick to using commercial transportation.
PoliticsRe: APC Will Slash Tariffs On Imported Cars -osinbajo by pedel: 1:27pm On Feb 12, 2015
How do you expect people on 18,000 per month minimum wages to buy the brand new cars? In developed countries there's auto-finance with interest rates regulated. If people can't afford the new cars the manufacturer will go back to where they come from. When you are thinking about eating 10 wraps of fufu, think about the hours you will spend in the toilet. 95% of our government policies are never designed to favour the masses. Tell me the benefits of the new car plate numbers and drivers licence.
J12:
It is stupid that a country like ours, which is in dire need of foreign direct investment would encourage policies that would shut out the inflow of the needed foreign investors in the country.
This is what the APC is trying to achieve if we follow Osinbajo's statements.

How will automobile manufacturing giants feel when they've signed an MoU with government with the aim setting up manufacturing plants in the country, with the government agreeing to making the automobile market a bit more comfortable for the manufacturers, Only for the government to renege on her agreement?

It increases our political risk and we may find it very difficult to attract foreign investor in years to come.
