That your logic is so obviously flawed is not the problem.

The problem is like most atheists you are so smug in your feeling brilliant with yourself as you superficially judge those who believe in God yet you are blind to the obviously apparent weakness in your own conclusions.

but whenever something bad happens blame the devil or say god works in mysterious ways

When all good things are credited to God, and all evil is thrown at the feet of mankind/devil, it makes thinking people conclude that theists have only invented a God as a sort of repository for holding all positive beliefs, such as hope for the future, surviving our mortality by means of an afterlife, etc.

If God gets all the credit, he also gets all the blame. And trying to have it both ways is just further evidence to me that God is an invention of man rather than the inverse.

Bandits have bought almost all our lands in my village. It's not like we produce anything so good riddance.

Sorry about your ordeal.

If you move early by 6:30 you will enter abuja by 5 to 6 pm but if you wait till 9:00 am before you leave Lagos. Traffic will hold you till 12 to 1 pm before you leave Lagos and another 4 hours before you leave Ibadan it will be around 4 pm, before you reach lokoja it's 9-10pm but if you leave by 6am by 9am you have already pass Ibadan and will be in osun state, by 2pm you will be in lokoja and at times 3:30pm you're in Gwagwalada 4:30 to 5:00pm you must have been in Abuja early
Lesson is, leave very early... If not Lagos traffic will rubbish your plan
Buses you can book with my experience are God is Good....or G.U.O.....they keep to time but others delays.... My opinion though
Good morning

Thank God for his goodness and mercy in your life

Yeye man
So the christians that have been maimed and killed all these years weren't Lord's chosen

Senseless comments.... From an Untrained kid.

It's entirely God's mercy and protection to have a safe journey in Nigeria

You mean how God saved you from terrorists?

This is getting out of hand

How God Saved Me From The Hands Of Bandits On My Way To Abuja

Having heard severally about the ordeals suffered by some individuals in the hands of armed robbers while on a journey, including several close family members, i often wondered what it would like if I encountered such myself, because i'd never experienced such while traveling by road.

However all that was about to change several years ago when I had embarked on a journey from Lagos to Abuja.

We started the journey quite late on that day, at about 10am so by the time we got to Abuja, it was already early hours of the next day.

Having gotten to the outskirts of the FCT, Gwagwalada to be precise, the feeling was meant to be one of relief having come such a long way, and almost arriving at our destination, however, it suddenly turned to one of apprehension, as we saw several buses suddenly reversing with speed on the other lane, instead moving in the opposite direction.

Immediately, the driver of the bus I had traveled with didn't wait for anyone to tell him what was going on, as he immediately hit the reverse gear and also joined the others on the other lane moving with the back of the bus not knowing exactly why he was doing so.

It was later on we got to know that it was bandits that had mounted road blocks on the express road in order to rob road users, that we were trying to evade.

Not long afterwards, we saw that some vehicles had started moving in the forward direction once again, so we joined them not knowing exactly what was going on but assuming that it meant the road was now safe again for use.

When we had gotten close to the point the bandits had mounted the road blocks, we now understood what had taken place, as we saw sticks and stones littered on the ground, and some armed soldiers standing by and waving touches at the vehicles, beckoning to the road users that it was all clear and now safe again to use the road.

By the side of the road, we saw a parked camouflaged military luxurious bus fully loaded with military personnel, so it was obvious they were the ones that actually chased off the bandits.

The timing to me was something else, as the first time that bandit or robbers decided to attack road users on the same road I was travelling, was the same time that a camouflaged military luxurious bus packed with military personnel decided to use the same road.

I believe it was God protecting His own, although at the time, I also had some concerns, because although it was the outskirts of Abuja, I thought if those bandits could have the mind to stage such an attack in the FCT, how much more else where?

That's why I'm not too surprised at what's going on with banditry in the nation as I long saw it coming.

I pray God would intervene in the situation though, because it appears a problem too big for men alone to solve.

God bless.

Did this happened around 2009/2010?

budaatum, ur padi is trending

flexyrule:
OP. If those were bandits, you wouldn't have had access to type this bullshit you wrote up there.

Those were probably petty thieves or highway robbers.

That Abaji - Kwali - Gwagwalada axis doesn't fit the description of your bandit story.

Try again!

No talk so chief. Bandits and kidnappers have operated several times at that route and even up to Tunga Maje area. In addition, some parts of Kuje most especially Pyeji have been attacked several times.

Testimony time.....blessing time and more money in offering box.

Funny enough they now script it in churches and hand it to best performers every Sunday.

Nice script here by the way

Write your own and deliver it.

Thanks......

Don't mind him. Was it not the same axis that an army general was killed ? What about the kidnapping of Uni Abuja lecturers in their Staff Quarters along the route. I think it is only wise or reasonable to address the OP experience with respect rather than saying he wrote rubbish.

You mean if your father gets all the credits for all the good things that ever happened to you, and your father's enemy gets all the blame, it means that your father is a mere invention; he does not exist?

I don't want to sound as a prophet of doom but I fear one day Abuja will be under the attack of these groups, the authorities ought to be proactive before it's too too late, this our lackadaisical attitude last last will be our undoing as a nation.

Nigeria has the capability to end this nonsense but simply lacks the will power because of religion and ethnicity.

A drone can be deployed around that region. Once bandits are detected, they are quickly bombed. Soldiers can be deployed inside those bushes to kill at sight any gun wielding bastard.

Once this happens for one month, no madafvker will agree to be a bandit.

Angelfrost:
Thank God for saving you...

However, I respectfully disagree with you about banditry being a problem only God can solve!

Even as a fellow Christian, I find such talk abhorrent!

If all nations thought like this, where would the world be?!! Evil thrives in Nigeria despite us being the most prayerful and religious nation on Earth... What does that say about our great faith with no work backing it?!!

Insecurity thrives because of the absence of Leadership! Or worse still, because those elected permit it, even fund it!

Elect a no nonsense leader today, or let the military take over today, you won't hear of terrorism or banditry after just a month in office! This is a clear and proven fact!!!

100% True. Because military government will see them as a threat and insult on them. They will just evaporate within 1 month tops.

Yeah, to the spiritually dead, God is imaginary, since the flesh cannot experience the spirit realm.

God is Spirit, and it takes a spiritual awakening to be able to perceive Him.
