;Dlols i never c Jonathan's poster until today here in d north u hardly c Jonathan campaign poster

the same North where Jonathan mostly invested Nigerian resources at the expense of other zones... How we wish the money waisted on North so far is invested in the South... Industrialized South could have emerged!

ok

the rating is good and will serve as target for those not mentioned to rise up to challenges and do what is expected of them.

Did this happen today? I sometimes wonder who the parents,( especially mothers) of these brain-washed innocent children are. As a girl, will she also be entitled to the seven virgins? The FG has built over 100 almajiri's schools for them, yet they won't send these children to school. Just imagine, a seven year child, whom should be in primary 2 being brainwashed into becoming a suicide bomber.
GMB should please talk sense into these his kinsmen, since he is a respected elder statesman from the Northern Region.
God help us in this country.

hmmm.
parents in the south are serious about sending their children to good schools, where they will be trained to be responsible citizens to the the family in particular and the society in general. It seems some parents in the North are doing the opposite, sending their children to terrorist camp where they are registered as suicide bombers. It seems some parents over there attach no or little meaning to life.

Moses and Aaron Confront Pharaoh
God sent Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh to allow Israelites to go and serve Him. Pharaoh rejected the message and increased suffering of people God was about to deliver from oppression. Exodus 5:1 - Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go and hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. We have the followings for discussion: God's Word Rejected; God Affirms His Promise; God Reveals His Plan.

God's word rejected: Moses had several encounters with God since he left Egypt. In the wilderness God assured him of His presence with him and commissioned him to lead Israelites out of the bondage. He had assured Moses that He would display His power to convince Pharaoh about freedom of His people. God also told Moses that Pharaoh would not grant the request, but by His mighty hand the Israelites would be freed from slavery. If God calls us to a task He will equip us with all we need to complete it, we just need to give thanks to Him and remain faithful to be successful.

Pharaoh rejected Moses request and increased suffering of the people by increasing their hard work (Exodus 5:1-6). As their suffering continued they began to loose hope despite assurance of their freedom which was confirmed by miraculous signs Moses performed. The people were emotionally disturbed and felt bitter on injustice done to them.

Consequently they blamed and despised Moses and Aaron for their increased suffering; they were forced to scatter all over the land of Egypt in search of materials needed to do and complete their hard work (Exodus 5:19-21). God sometimes does what He has promised to do at His appointed time, and the interval between His timing and our expectations may be the period of time our faith is being tested. In such a situation we should trust God and seek His direction.

God Affirms His Promise: Moses was disturbed about Pharaoh's negative reaction and harsh response of his people that he questioned God concerning His promised deliverance (Exodus 5:22-23). He had forgotten what God had said earlier that Pharaoh's heart would be hardened so that he would not allow the people to go. Moses lacked the understanding of how events would unfold at God's timing.

God wasn't angry with Moses about his complaints, He just told him that their deliverance was that very time (Exodus 6:1-13). That the time had come to prove His might and show His power in the land of Egypt. He reminded Moses of His covenant with the Israelites that they would be His people, and He would be their God. They were already discouraged and weakened in faith as a result of the increased suffering, but God was ready to do what He promised. When faith is being tested, believers are encouraged to remain faithful and focus on God concerning His promise and assurance.

God Reveals His Plan: God said He would make Moses to be like God in the eyes of Pharaoh. He said Moses would be like God to Aaron, and Aaron would be a prophet to him. Moses would go and represent the One true God before Pharaoh, while Aaron would be speaking on his behalf (Exodus 7:1-2). God was about to perform miracles that would make people believe and serve One true God.

God hardened Pharaoh's heart so that he could have spiritual encounter with with Him and see manifestation of His power. He would perform miracles, bring judgement on the land and deliver His people so that all people would know and believe in One true God (Exodus 7:3-7). The loving and eternal God raises hope when it seems there is no hope. To God be the glory. Lesson Texts: Exodus 5:1 thru 6:13; 7:1-7.

Bayswater:
If GEJ wins the presidential election without any rancour, that would also be a major game changer.

If I may ask, what is the general feeling of the people you have met or spoken to in Oyo State?

General feelings? The result will bring surprises as stated before. General feelings could be assumed as deceit, individual feeling is that which rocks. Many would have understood what I mean.

daresimon:
Just name those people that went to the national conference and their influence in Yoruba politics

Leaders who have concern about national interest at the time FG called for the meeting. We all know leadership of APC warned the party members not to attend. I wouldn't understand If the APC members that didn't attend the meeting are the ones you believe as the leaders that matter. You know participants were picked according to many factors. It appeared that APC was just a fraction of the expected concerned leaders. Leaders from other parties attended the
meeting, you know.

Bayswater:
I am not in Ogbomoso but I have lived there in the past and would visit that zone shortly.

The LP candidate, Segun Ogunwuyi who is a member of the state house of assembly used to be in PDP until last month. Ogbomoso people will definitely vote for Akala in the guber election but their votes will go to the PDP in the presidential and national assembly elections.

Do you even know the composition of Oyo State's delegates to the present National Assembly? You need to go and check that first. The relatively new Accord Party has more federal reps and senators than APC. APC does not even have a single senator in Oyo State.

Many people should have reasoned things might not work according to their calculations. Oyo State is politically sensitive and stubborn. For the information of people out there the result of coming elections will bring lots of surprises.

daresimon:
Just answer that question. I didn't ask for epistle

which question? Do you mean leaders who concluded the national conference don't matter. If that is your thought you are just deceiving yourself

rasco2000me:
Is not laughable when baba falae read that for hıs party to endorsed any plıtıcal party ,1 the party to suport must not encourage coruptıon .he mus hv perform ın all sector .the old fol end up endorsıng jonathan after he as collected money
Baba u we not be able to sell yoruba .u end up foolın urself[color=#990000][/color]

Corruption is the serious issue that we must join hands to fight to get rid of in our society. It is a pity that presently we don't have any leading party Federal, States and Local governments free of corruption, except we deceive ourselves.

rasco2000me:
Pis the nıgerıan should be careful jonathan ıs out desperately he deos mınd usıng anythıng to staın ın power .u can ımagıne all old ful ın yoruba they hv colectd money ,they hv alreay sold all yoruba pls let all rıse up .to free ourself from all thıs baba osı .awon agbaya

vote your conscience and let others do.

daresimon:
Pls name those that matter and support jonathan in the west.

Yeah all Yoruba leaders that matter want to see Jonathan beyond May 29. These concerned individuals don't want to labour in vain. They want the positive results out of the contributions to national conference. They have stated it point blank to us, the youths that implementation of the report will address so many issues, and lay to rest series of controversies. They say the report has taken care of lapses that allow corruption, injustice, insecurity, imbalance in the States and LGs across the geopolitical zones and many more. To all these we support those who matter and wouldn't want to labour in vain.

MANY THANKS PRESIDENT JONATHAN FOR YOUR INITIATIVE AND THE BENEFITS FARMERS HAVE RECEIVED SO FAR SINCE THE INCEPTION OF YOUR ADMINISTRATION.

AS EARLY PLANTING SEASON SETS IN FARMERS EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH TO RECEIVE THE PACKAGES AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. KUDOS OUR ABLE AND DYNAMIC MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE, KUDOS PRESIDENT JONATHAN.

Xaintkelvin:
if boko haram is eradicated within two weeks then boko haram is controlled and owned by PDP I thought they said they have no face how come can anyone explain

Peace loving people of Nigeria have given them enough opportunities to show face, turn from their wicked deeds and embrace peace. Now the faceless and wicked people couldn't be more useful than straw everyone sees as dirty rubbish. Just pray the country will get rid of the bad rubbish called boko haram within 2-3 weeks given by the military to do the work.

Good Nigerians are joining hands to see final end of Boko haram and disgrace of their sympathisers. Glory be to God, the Northern parts will soon experience absolute peace that their hosted enemies have disturbed for years.

A footballer is bearing the name JESUS.

ok. he can't bear and many too can't risk bearing Satan, even those who don't know God.

Misogynist2014:
JESUS

that's the only name divinely personified. The wonderful name which is not associated with wickedness, violence, ungodliness and unrighteousness. That's is reason people can't afford to bear the name

Weah96:
God commanded it, abi? You're starting to sound like ISIS and BOKO. God only told one human being to tell everyone else to remove a part of my son's p)enis.

Everyone can't be idiots my friend. Some people think first before they do. You're welcome to mutilate your children. I won't do it to mine. If your God doesn't like, he should voice his concerns to the owner of the P)enis or to the parent.

I'm not impressed by the trivial benefits of circumcision. Remove one of your toes, you fit into more shoes, build a pool in your backyard, you increase your risk of drowning. Sh*t like that doesn't concern me.

you consider the benefits as being trivial, but many people have realized great benefits and wouldn't do without it. Won't you be surprised that most women like to go after circumcised men. Can you understand reason for that?

Weah96:
Equal treatment for the sexes. If you mutilate your boy child, you must also be willing to mutilate the female one. Circumcision is female genital mutilation for boys. No baby deserves to have their genitals mutilated, male or female. It's a barbaric, Genghis Khan-like tradition that has no place in 2015.

male circumcision wasn't barbaric, it was divine, commanded by God. Apart from being divine many benefits are attached to it.

ZACHIE:
Shut up.

an idle response from the likes of you.

Olorunsogo is OBJ,s project

completed and commissioned by OBJ? Stop the sentiments give honour to whoever completed a project for benefits of all people.

jethro2:
The beneficiary of this government agricultural programmes are mainly political farmers and corporate farmers that has little link or no link to farm at all.
Majority of smallholders farmers that constitute the main producers of food crops never gets any form of assistance from the government.

Not at all. Farmers were met and registered in the villages and towns irrespective of any affiliation whatsoever. I was part of the team that conducted the registration 4 & 3 years ago and the farmers have benefited for three years consecutively.

omonnakoda:
BUT WHERE IS THE FOOD?

Some in the stomach nah... and others at home and in the markets.

Handsomeemmy:
The president team did a great Job in Agriculture, I Believe there is room to do more if he and his agricultural team are given much opportunity.

Even the opposition party can not deny the fact that He did well, except those who have sold their souls to the devil and see nothing good with this administration that will say otherwise.

creation of e-wallets for million farmers is not a joke. The plan was to reimburse the farmers and make farm inputs available to the them at highly subsidized rates. Hope the program will continue this year sha.

knightsTempler:
If the story is true, i wouldn't be too surprised that French citizen are fighting along side Boko Haram. It is only a matter of time before the real sponsors of this ruthless jihadist movement show themselves.

*edited

all people and nations behind boko haram will be exposed. They shall all be put to shame.

Fhemmmy:
How do you make peace with people that only speak and understand violence . . . Maybe you are yet to study the trend of all these terrorist, they only understand violence and like the other gentleman said that giving terrorist a chance by wasting the innocent life and messing up the economy of states and a nation, that was not smart . . . again, if at all they are truly doing anything now, i applaud them

You know it took all of us, not government alone and even United Nations some time to describe boko haram guys as terrorists.

Fhemmmy:
There is no doubt about it that it is a tough decision for the FG to make but for the safety of the people and sanity of the nation, FG ought to have made that decision longest time ago before so much people died. . . .Again, if all these are real, i give them credit cos it is still better to be late than NEVER.

Gbam!

lewis33:
SO JONATHAN GAVE GRACE AND MERCY AT THE EXPENSE OF INNOCENT LIVES?? THEN GEJ IS THE MOST WICKED AND IRRESPONSIBLE LEADER I HAVE EVER SEEN. GET A LIFE PLEEEEEAAAAASE!~!!!!!!! GMB 2015 IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY

This your response shows nothing satisfies human beings except death. So It is good for a responsible government or leader to match evil for evil, violence for violence without taking a time make peace. It is after all chances of peace and security are exhausted that war is returned for war, and destruction for destruction. Boko haram guys are already harvesting seeds of sorrow they had successfully planted with collaborative efforts of dubious leaders out there.

Fhemmmy:
I agree with you that hope of getting those girls alive then was slim, and the reason why the govt refused to use action or force them was cos they wanna get the girls alive, but almost a year later NOTHING has been done and NOW force is being used to kill the boko haram, would you assume anything has changed since then, when they did not wanna use force? I just think too much game is being played here, i see that pix on the first page as a stage . . . .Nollywood acting and those "kids" act really well.

Just know one thing that boko haram guys have exhausted grace and mercy Jonathan had for them all these days, thinking they might repent and sheath their swords. Hope you have sincerely followed the trend of boko haram from the beginning, how they started, and the human face they wore though in lion skin. For political attention and favour the same people who had seen them as their relatives that must be protected are now lamenting on their evils and blaming Jonathan for their escalated violence. We know them, we read what they said that, engaging and destroying boko haram was like decimating the North. Hope you could understand how they complicated the issue right from the beginning.

Fhemmmy:
We pray so, but i seriously doubt the reason behind this all of a sudden "We will eradicate them" by the FG . . . Imagine, if they had done all these as soon as those girls were kidnapped?

what the military is doing presently couldn't have been possible if the main aim was to retrieve the abducted school girls from the cell of terrorists alive. Those guys are wicked and nothing but beasts. hope you watched how similar groups burned a journalist alive, and how they slew 23 Egyptian Coptic Christians. These were the people United Nations tried all they could to rescue.

xenten:
and it took 6years you to go to Russia. its all bullsheets and you guys are bullsheeting us. We cannot live our destiny in the hands of GEJ for another for years. who knows what will happen after he wins the election. may be he will go back to his lackadaisical attitudes toward the welfare and security of Nigeria

pray that the time has come for complete eradication of boko haram and its evil just as a gardner gets rid of weeds in the house.

may boko haram never rise to see light of the day in Nigeria again.

lewis33:
If for close to six good tears innocent people were dying and little was done to solve the problem of boko haram not until now when they have political motive to achieve that prompted such decisive action to be taken. I think this calls for questioning the authorities. NIGERIANS CANT BE FOOLED WE ARE WISER AND WE CANT RISK ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF IRRESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT-FULL STOP

kosovo:
You are the one fooling yourself...

In the last 6 years.. U.S blocked every channel of weapon sale to Nigeria.. It was blocked in the U.S, Israel, And South Africa..

Until we went to Russia and Ukraine, which U.S has no power over.. Nigeria couldn't secure some weapons to combat the hi-tech weapons of BH.

Secondly, in the last 6 yrs.. Neither border nations joined the fight.. Now we have Chad, Niger, Cameron and A.U in this fight.

Over 20,000 solders, Airforce and Navy are in this fight . Hence, the massive offensive and bombardment..

By God's grace this year will mark the end of boko haram and peace will soon return to the Northern parts where the insurgents were hosted to disturb peace and waste lives and properties.
