Tell me where in the Bible that condemns being in politics? Point it out and I'll quit. I studied political science and international relations and I didn't study it to keep my cert in the wardrobe. I'll go into politics mate.
A man cannot serve two masters and clearly Jesus already said his kingdom was not of this world - that if it was then his servants would fight?

Which Kingdom are you serving? Or you believe you can do both. Whose cause are you fighting?

I am not going to turn this into an intellectual battle of will. Let each man be fully persuaded.

They play. The Bible had kings David and the rest, Solomon, David a man after God's own heart. So where these people serving two masters?


Besides what did the Bible say about when the wicked rule, what will happen to the people compared to when the righteous rule in Proverbs 29 vs 2? That's why Nigeria will never get better anytime soon because of coward christians like you who don't understand the Bible. Keep praying from now till tomorrow, your prayers will only make Nigeria worse. Christians should keep folding their hands and keep allowing wicked people rule them, then wait for God to come down from heaven to help you when he has given you a solution in Proverbs 29 vs 2.

Reason why he’s not criticizing the government as he did with the previous government. He’s now enjoying lotting money.

Someone told me that old Yoruba men don’t have dignity, now I believe. Thank God for Tinubu, who would have thought that a whole Wole Soyinka is a tribalist.
His true self has been revealed further.

Babangida shut him up with appointment during his time.

The one that is smelling the seat now have made your mama to me smelling under ojota bridge agberos boxers on the daily now, you need to chain her for her toto to rest a bit as the oil there don cake.

I won't yab yorubas since few sensible ones are my friends but since your mama toto is leaking condemn oil, I will have to address you as an individual, smeller.
I didn't even read you epistle of agony. The moment I saw mother, I stopped reading cos that means you are one of those kicking your parents like trash at home. That's said, your Agulu fraud will not smell that seat and your enclaves will remain deserted, unproductive and forgotten for a loooooooog time to come if ..hehhehe

You are no longer living in the Davidic era. In that era God chose Israel as his representative nation. To exercise judgement on the earth. Through Christ, tgat era has passed and each one of us is his representative You are in the period between post
pentecost and the apocalypse. Those are the
scriptures you should be looking at.

Why are you trying to prop up an unstable babylonian system? Why are you seeking equity and justice in the darkness. Did Daniel not prophecy that these systems would fall?

What you should be doing is building your family and neighbourhood into something that looks like the Kingdom - where authority is bottom up not top down.Start from your house.

Look I don't usually discuss these things because it takes a while for the scales to fall.

Feel free to do whatever you like.

It's not hate it's accountability. He rubbished Jonathan's administration even called him Nebuchadnezzar. He was vocal and supported the occupy Nigeria protest too. If he has any dignity why has he remained silent since under Buhari and Tinubus government despite both being ten times worse than Jonathans?

If he can't speak up then he's a coward and a rubbish icon. Except he has corns in his pocket that's why he can't speak up because he also enjoys from the corruption under APC.

I'm a yoruba boy should you want to go tribal thinking I'm igbo. I'm also obidient and a Christian.
I'm not a trubalist, and Jonathan's government many people campaign against it, the issue with Nigeria is the next government is always worse the previous one we thought was more terrible

Wole Sonyinka has been an activist criticizing everyone who got the opportunity to lead until it got to the turn of his friends from his part of the country he became deaf and dumb.

This is typical of most people who call themselves activists in Nigeria, with exception of Femi Falana.

Either way, happy birthday to the celebrity writer.
You are wrong. Him and obasanjo are from the same state even attended the same school. Also show me where he condemned late yar'dua

That's not true. Falana criticises everyone, including this government. He even defends nobodies in court through his pro-bono. The spirit of Femi Falana is what Falz exhibits today.
I'm telling you authoritatively. Forget the so-called half-hearted' criticisms'. What did he go to visit the bat in Abuja for?

You would think it was like an ELON MUSK type person they were celebrating, you know, someone that solved problems in society or invented something, but noooooooooooooooo. Notice how those kinds of people are hardly celebrated in Nigeria.

First, they celebrated a man, that GRADUATED IN 1970 FROM A SCHOOL FOUNDED IN 1974. Notice that till now, not Tinubu, not Reno, no one can refute this claim. With the certificate they can argue this or that or where it was printed, but not with the fraudulent Lagos Government College. Why you ask? It's because, under oath, Tinubu's file was pulled showing that he applied to the University with a supposed diploma from Lagos Government College, stating that he graduated in 1970.

Now they celebrate this man that called a President the meanest names during some of the best times in Nigeria's history, a time people were going to Dubai like it's nothing, a time young entrepreneurs were starting to flourish, with a host of SMEs springing up, even awon them Konga and Jumia dem. A man who founded cultism and has not been amongst those to CHAMPION IT'S ENDING since his so-called original fraternity vision has been bastardized.

He stated clearly, that he would evaluate this president after a year, but after a year, he still talks about an election and a candidate that came 3rd. Even if fronted such question by an interviewer, wouldn't a so-called intelligent man guide the interviewer back to topics that are soo concerning TODAY? IT'S LIKE YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE AND THEN SOMEONE STARTS ASKING YOU ABOUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND, YOU'D BE LIKE DUDE, ARE YOU MENTAL, CAN'T YOU SEE MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE?, but no, not the so called sage. Sage my behind.


Bitterness can lead to depression.
Celebrate an age you, your father or son may not get to.
