Kidnapping in Nigeria exaggerated — Osinbajo
June 25, 2019

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has downplayed the cases of kidnapping in Nigeria, saying they were sometimes exaggerated for political effect.

Mr Osinbajo was addressing Nigerians based in New York on Monday when he was confronted with questions about kidnapping, which is a major part of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity.

“With respect to general kidnapping which we have seen in parts of the country, again, this is not entirely new. In fact, some of the kidnapping stories you read or listen to are simply not true anywhere, some are fuelled by politics,” Mr Osinbajo was reported as saying by the state-run News Agency of Nigeria.

“There are cases of kidnapping, no question at all about that, but some of the more dramatic stories that you hear are simply not true.

“Every report of kidnapping we receive, we try to verify, and at the end of the day you find out that people just tell all sorts of stories,” the vice-president said.

the answer is no because as the temptation of jesus showed in mathew chapter 4,all political elements are under the direct control of satan the devil. chat me on whatsapp on 08100709169 if you wants irrefutable evidence of why christians should be neutral to politics.

Re: Should A Born Again Christian Involve In Active Politics? by Nobody: 9:33am On Sep 20, 2020
Why not? Even the bible confirms that when the righteous rules the people rejoice. David (the man after God's heart) Solomon etc were active politicians.

FIRST OF ALL, WHAT DO U UNDERSTAND BY THE MEANING CHRISTIAN BORN AGAIN?

I WANT TO PERSON ASKING THE QUESTION ON FTC TO ANSWER.

SECONDLY, WE ALL KNOW EVERY RELIGION REGARDS CHRISTIANITY AS A TRUE RELIGION AND WHEN THEY SEE U AS A PASTOR, POPE, BISHOP OR BORN AGAIN, U RE REGARDED A CLOSE TO THE CREATOR...

BUT WHAT IS IT TO TAKE U TO DO POLITICS?
U CAN PLAY POLITICS TO CHANGE OTHERS.
Re: Should A Born Again Christian Involve In Active Politics? by Yonce(f): 9:34am On Sep 20, 2020
Why not?

For decades most political systems were intrinsically tied with Faith.
The Pope had a huge influence on French and British monarchy.

Of course. I am a living example. I am a born-again Christian but I have mad plans to contest for a senatorial seat very soon. I will fight tooth and nail to see it come to pass.

I must loot mad money as well. I didn't come to this earth to just be a spectator.

Dear brothers and sisters , I like to ask , can a born again Christian get involve in active politics.?

Or

Will it be proper to always be praying for leadership which might have been involved in occult or an apostate or antichrist to rule well and favour the masses which oftentimes doesn't work out?

Or

We should just remain indifferent and hope for the best ??

Your take

I believe this verse answers the question.


1 Corinthains 6:2-3
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?
3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! 

But unfortunately most pastors have persuaded Christians from going into politics out of fear.

VP Osinbajo us one Christian I respect even though he has his own human shortcomings too.

I believe Christians should run the world. They can do this on their knees to God or And by being actively involved. For a leader or leaders of a country to actively lead a country on the path of prosperity, they have to have a belief system that is geared towards improving the lives of others. Christians Definitely need to be proactive.

Nigeria version of politics is not good for a true genuine Christian. At best they can serve as Special advisers. Because to win Nigeria elections, you must commit sin such as lying, stealing, blackmail, forgery, even murder

YES BUT USE THE TWO PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGES WITH MUTUAL INTELLIGENCE.

ALWAYS REMEMBERING THAT POLITICS AND BORNAGAINISMS ARE TWO SEPARATE PROFESSIONS WITH DIFFERENT VOCABULARIES.
none of politics and bornagainism is a profession.
Every citizen has right to run for public office in a duly registered party. Born again status is a personal thing anybody can have and is strictly a thing of perception.
Re: Should A Born Again Christian Involve In Active Politics? by ajimotoke(m): 9:44am On Sep 20, 2020

post=94113385:
Ever wonder if God cares if you cast a ballot?
Or does He care how you cast your ballot?
The answer to both of those questions is “Yes.”
Yet how would Jesus have us vote?

 Our Biblical View of Politics

When Jesus was on earth,
He did not reside in a democratic republic like Nigeria.
He lived under the oppression of an imperial dictatorship and had no opportunity to cast a ballot.

He declared:“Render to Caesar that which is Caesars, and to God, the things that are Gods.”

Instead of distancing believers from any connection with a civil government, he indicated there was a level of responsibility to engage in civic matters.
Instead of having political leaders imposed upon us,
we have the God-given opportunity to select our leaders.

Shouldn’t God’s people be instrumental in influencing the selection?
After all, some set of values is going to govern or control the nation.
Given what Scripture reveals about the character of God, do you think He cares whether our leaders promote the killing of the unborn or the destruction of the biblical definition of marriage?

It only makes sense that Christians should be at the forefront of selecting leaders who will govern according to God’s principles and will formulate policies more likely to bring God’s favor.

Your vote is your power.

We Rise!




God bless you sister Savvy.
Have a blessed Sunday ahead.
