Is this how Tinubu will be speaking? ..... in parables? ... that only one man can interpret?

Jokes aside, apart from the inappropriateness of his comparison, the idiom is not wrong.

It means a hungry church rat sould not be expected to resist eating the holy communion even if it's poisoned.

Meaning, a developing country like ours cannot expect to resist exploiting our natural resources because of environmental hazards... the west should help with financial incentives if we're to cooperate.

Where I fault him is that we've challenges resulting from climate change such as deforestation, erosion, flooding, etc that requires urgent government intervention for our own good.

That said, Tinubu due to health reasons is unfit to even be contesting. The man is increasingly senile with evident symptoms of parkinson's disease.

cool




I love Jagaban with all my heart


Weyrey US and EU still dey use Coal as Energy sources, they wouldn't issue Africa or middle east nuclear power lisence yet talk about climate change policy

I only beg Zombidiots to please listen to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Colloquium, the 13 years different episodes and see reasons we need this man at this critical time.... His policies have been outlined a decade ago with update everytime


.
Zombiedients even thought the old man didn’t know what climate change meant when they couldn’t fathom his analogy. They think everyone is like Peter who embarrassed himself on an international TV, the third-class dunce was lost when asked to talk about green energy grin

Intelligent people are liberal minded. They don't fault facts even when it's
coming from a supposed rival/opposition. A leader with few intelligent supporters will make good decisions unlike another with a million closed minded fans that will hail him to doom 'cos they can't tell when he is right or wrong to keep him on track.
BRIMBRAM:
Seems this Farooq Kperogi is now saying positive things about Tinubu. Well I must be honest here I like the way Tinubu intelligently answered that question. It was top notch.

Who poisons a holy communion?

How can a rat eat holy communion that is always sealed?

Does he even have to mention a church at all to pass that message?

"Thousands of bags of oil" Farook Kperugi, come and defend that one?

Old people should be remanded at old people's home.

He should say things that people understands......plain and simple English. First he said "a rotten situation to a bad one" secondly "100 bags thousand barrels of oil" now "church rat eating poisoned holy communion"
He should be understandable........

How many of the statements Wole Soyinka says do you understand? Tinubu is only trying to get your brain up from slumber - at least use it a bit.

No, they won’t cringe. Christians are not known to be reactionaries, if I can use that word. Any Christian that finds that statement offensive is an extremist.
It is extreme to throw words like "extremist" about.

Most Christians won't react. Jesus Christ advocated turning the other cheek. I speak as one.

But does that make the statement any less blasphemous. An adjective like "poisonous" for an holy sacrament such as "holy communion" is not good imagery.

If you would be sincere, this is plain obvious.

It’s not offensive. If you find it offensive then you shouldn’t blame people of other religions who reacts to petty issues like this, only extremists does.

You are making this thing a religious issue just to score cheap points for Obi and I see no different between this and Atiku saying Northerners should vote for him because he’s from the North.

You are the biggest fool of the century.
The term "Church rat" has been in use before Peter Obi was Born.
You that is the wisest has shown foolish u re. Can't you make you points expresses without hurling insults and vituperation. Tinubu spoke I'll of the the core tenents of christian religion. Sometime in the early 2000 when a beauty contest was held and a comment was made in Sweden that if it were in the days of Muhammad he would attend. Muslims in Nigeria killed Christians in the north. A Muslim wouldn't tolerate this statement if the reverse were the case

An intelligent person cannot lead Nigeria successfully. Obasanjo tried his best. Traders only want trader to lead them. Good thinking produces good products. MKO Abiola died with his intellect and reparation crusade. It is better we go our separate ways, we are not on the same intellectual thinking level.

Mr Farooq, this is high intellect. This shows the stuff of a first class product. A deep thinker. It is only the deep that can reach unto the deep. Those people complaining are mostly unintelligent people who don't even understand the issue under discussion. I don't envy people contesting to lead the country. If not that the component parts have to make a decision on how to go separate ways, I think Nigeria has big problem.

Tinubu analysis is the best explanation of the plight of the developing and underdeveloped economies under the climate change solutions proffered by the developed countries.

In Yoruba adage, our forefathers believe the poorest rats are church rats because they have nothing to eat other than bibles and hymnal books. That is a common adage till date in Yoruba land. Later, people found out they can eat communion bread if it is accessible.

Dont mind the bunch of idiots supporting him. A sick old man that should be at rest wants to be president. He cant speak in clear terms, his words always to be interpreted by his fools.

I think he has a good point. That coinage is intrinsically offensive na... Like you can't tell how people should feel. But you can judge that what you said can be offensive.
Imagine saying something like "rotten Quran." You can't blame any Moslem for finding that offensive. (Same people that once almost lynched someone for calling it ordinary book).
So guy, lets us stop this blind bias. That expression is enough justification for any angry Christian. I'm not one o. I am just being reasonable! If you would be reasonable (without political or religious bias), e no hard at all.

Imagine the kind of empty heads who are Obidient to a fraud.
grin grin You just keep showing how stupid and mentally derailed you are. FYI, that expression is nowhere to be found. It's neither a figure of speech nor an idiomatic expression as some of you uneducated fools might think.

Secondly, even if he wanted to make a comparison, it was totally out of place of which I forgive him because he's old and sick (physically and mentally).

My only happiness is that he will never win. This is general elections not party primaries. So you urchins can continue to wallow in your delusion till reality faces you. smiley

Must y'all see things from the lens of politics? huh

Can't we all just be reasonable and agree outside politics? If Tinubu is wrong with that statement, does that stop him from having supporters still?

The expression is not right. You can't force your bias on that of any Christian who finds the expression disgusting. You can't. It's unreasonable!

"Poisonous holy communion" doesn't sound any right at all! Just bracket this political bias for one second and think about it... Haba

If you call Muslims extremist for getting angry over petty things like this and you call them terrorists for acting out their threats then you have no justify for getting angry over Tinubu's speech, especially when he didn’t mean it the way you are making it sound. You are not different from those you criticize and that makes you a Christian fanatic, something that’s alien to the religion.

If you are Christian, think about this: will Jesus Christ, who we are suppose to model our lives after, get offended our such mere statement?. If your answer is yes, then nothing makes you a Christian. You are an extremist.

The only reason why most of you are attacking Tinubu over this statement is because of politics. Instead of you to remove the log from your own eye, you are minding someone else.
