In this man speech you will sense jealousy and anger I don't believe all he has said.

Read with understanding you will see the speech is an eye opener to serious issues that need attention. The tissues raised are not for a child play.

Promhize:
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant interview.

Interviewer asked the right questions and Papa gave him/her facts

masterpower:
ITS NO SECRET THAT THE NORTHERN LEADERS THAT HAVE HELD NIGERIA HOSTAGE SINCE INDEPENDENCE, DOES NOT WANT THE CONFAB RESSOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED. THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN STATUSQUO BUT WE WILL REJECT THAT QUOTA SYSTEM.

One of our leaders has spoken. All we should clamour for now is sincere implementation of report of the last national conference. It has been revealed once again by another sage that implementation of the report will address many unresolved issues that have made it difficult for the country to progress: injustice, corruption, forgery, insecurity among others.

God's Judgement on Sodom and Gomorrah

God doesn't judge and destroy the wicked without giving opportunity for repentance. Event before the Judgement revealed that God still shows mercy and gives grace to the righteous. While the sinners may not know the judgement that awaits them God can still give grace for their forgiveness and deliverance through intercessor. Abraham's intercession for Sodom and Gomorrah saved some people from destruction. From the root of Abraham God sent an intercessor, Jesus Christ to redeem people and take away the punishment of sin. 2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, but is longsuffering toward us, not that willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. We have the followings for discussion: Investigation into Sodom Sin; Abraham's Intercession and God's Mercy; Judgement for Sin.

Investigation Into Sodom Sin: The gravity of sin of people of Sodom and Gomorrah caused God to pass judgement. He judges sin when it becomes grievous h(Genesis:16-22). Before the destruction God made His intention known to Abraham so that he could understand reason for the judgement, and probably to intercede for the righteous.

The cities were judged for sins of homosexuality, perversion and lack of concern about the plight of others. The people were so arrogant, selfish and inhospitable, and pursuing immoral behaviours with their prosperity (Ezekiel 16: 49-50). The Church may live under the similar influence that brought judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah if believers are arrogant, unconcerned, self-centered and self-serving in their relationships with others. Such behaviours can make others miserable, poor and wretched.

Abraham's Intercession and God's Mercy: After the two angels had left for destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham was standing with God, interceding for the righteous of the cities (Genesis 18:23-33). He was confident that God was righteous and just, and would not condemn the righteous with the wicked. Thus, he was determined to seek an opportunity for mercy to be extended to those who know God.

In his intercession, Abraham continued to ask God to withdraw his planned judgement if it was possible to find certain number of righteous people in the cities. He asked for mercy if fifty, forty five, thirty and down to ten righteous people were found, but the righteous in the cities were not up to that. Only the family of Lot, Abraham's nephew escaped God's judgement. Christians are to follow good example of Abraham and pray with persistence for others to receive God's mercy and become saved from destruction.

Judgement for Sin: Total destruction of a place and people may come as a result of God's judgement for sin. Abraham's intercession saved Lot. Effective prayer of the righteous saves others from destruction. Instead of rejecting life pleasure and focusing on God's deliverance Lot's wife was mindful of the shameful past. She regretted seeing destruction of her wealth and comfortable city's lifestyle and was consumed in that process.

God's judgement on Sodom and Gomorrah was a strong warning to all that God judges sin. No one can stand God's judgement for sin. Jesus stated that God's judgement on Sodom and Gomorrah would be more tolerable than judgment on nations and people that heard his message and rejected it ( Matthew 11:20-24). As Christ's message is being proclaimed more widely and freely today through all media than before people are being called unto genuine repentance, and to follow the way that leads to deliverance and salvation of souls from horrors of divine judgement. To God be the glory. Lesson Texts: Genesis 18:16 thru 19:29; Ezekiel 16:49-50; Matthew 11:20-24.

EverestdeBliu:
They say its 'Allah's work'
The muslim community denied 'em,saying that 'islam is a religion of peace'
The Northern elites condemn their acts,
FG is fighting back,non-stop
Chad is also fighting 'em,helping
The world frowns @ them.
Now who really are they?

They are evil things that must be wiped off the surface of earth including their remote and mother institutes in other terrorist countries.

AdeniyiA:
ati kekere lati npeka iroko...
(prevention is better than cure)

Boko haran is the greatest mistake the North made. Hope the South won't make similar mistake. That mistake has become whirlwind that blows no good to anyone. May God save the North and the rest of Nigeria.

I remember when boko haram started in Northeast as a religious organization. That avenue for selfish political gain has now become the greatest man-made disaster in the North.

They wouldn't want to be cut off connecting people and gathering information. ISP should have equally made it possible to borrow subscription just like borrowing credits.

We know Jonathan achieved quite a lot in education, most of his development projects are sited in North, yet their leaders disregarded them and claimed that nothing is on ground. Why on earth could some people be so heartless and wicked, always seeking downfall of an achiever. He even tried on securing them from boko haram but these same people are divided in their opinions toward weeding those guys out of society of peace loving people. While some people want them out, some see them as freedom fighters.

He started the modern railway system in the zone, they are not satisfied. They are in the majority of public workers benefiting from his administration, yet they are not satisfied. When will they be satisfied and what exactly is the satisfaction?

I don't think Jonathan converted any of 12 Universities and 7 Polytechnics he built for himself, compared to previous administrations.

ItsMeAboki:
Please do not speak in ignorance: refer to the constitution and note that it does NOT require a candidate to hold/possess or indeed earn a certificate to run for elective office; it however demands for such candidate to be educated to certificate LEVEL or its equivalent.

The constitution also went further to elaborate on what it meant by an equivalent (refer to attached copy bellow).
Note: subsection (d) even left it entirely to the discretion of the electoral body (INEC).

Accordingly, all a candidate needs is the ability to read and write (i.e. literacy) and to communicate effectively to the satisfaction of INEC - which it no doubt deemed Buhari had already met and therefore declared him free to contest.

On the other hand those dismissed public/civil you referred to must have obviously failed to meet the minimum certificate requirement specified for their respective jobs.

In other words, the examples you gave are not quite the same: Buhari does not need a certificate to contest (as spelt out by the constitution); while the alleged dismissed officers did (as specified for their specific jobs) - get it?

ok
all is well. all ppl can't be fooled at all time. actions and reactions just in a matter of few months times, if God will.

so sad. young and aspiring students. may their souls rest in peace to the dead, quick recovery for the wounded. may God grant parents fortitude to bear the loss.

oyb:
Typical tanoid.

Only one persons has called bh brothers and that is gej himself. It is only gej supporters who like their master thrive on division, that will call bh a nortern agenda.

You made me laugh. When leaders such as Buhari, El rufai, Tukur among others stated that boko boys are freedom fighters, and fighting them means fighting the North.

Don't call me what I am not... I am not supporting any party. I will just describe wicked roles some ppl you keep supporting have played.

oyb:
You pathetic louts wil not stop this played out denial. It is the north, it is APC, it is Chad it is america, it is everything except your incompetent cinc who has allowed a ragtag band of thugs to grow into a regional threat.

Every other day, we are hearing of strange happenings in Enugu. If massob takes a leaf from bh,'s script, you lot will be in the same predicament. The incompetence of gej and its manifestation in our armed forces means any thug with an agenda can scatter this country

I can't just get you: you mean your terrorist brothers in the North are tugs. Tugs are not deadly and power hungry like those brothers of yours. Stop blaming Jonathan for your evils. Before Jonathan declared states of emergency, what has been success of your governors over the tugs ... as you want us to believe... that needed involvement of President Jonathan? That shows how your leaders are a failure.

YoursGEJ:
Later he will come and tell us say those that are accusing him of sponsoring boko haram are mad.

What does his body language towards the insurgency tell us? When was the last time he condemned a boko haram attack? He was commiserating with France on the terrorist attack that killed 17 people and didn't say anything when 2,000 Nigerians were slaughtered in Baga. Why are helicopters dropping off supplies to the insurgents? No aircraft should be in Nigerian airspace without the knowledge and approval of FAAN and thus the FG. And Reno Omonkey falsely tried to link SLS to the insurgents. In Owoye Azazi's own words, a few days before his "accident"; PDP is boko haram and boko haram is PDP.

Yet some people who escaped from the psychiatric ward of Yaba hospital will come and blame Buhari.

As for all of you in support of MEDIOCRITY, I will keep praying that your lives will be run exactly how NORTH is RUINING this country. Amen. You are welcome for the prayer don't menshun

PROBABLY THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN! Pray that God will deliver them.

oyb:
If the man does another four years, we may all become displaced refugees.

Its really sad - his only concrete achievement has been the division of Nigeria along tribal and religious lines.

Don't be a lair, all attempts to make Nigerians refugees in their father's land always start from the North in their struggle to claim power by all means and at all cost. Stop blaming Jonathan on boko haram, blame the North that started the game of terror. I think you know terrorist aim.

nagoma:
By remaining in the denial mode you guys are promoting inevitable greeter catastrophe. I hope this is not the last warning from our gallant patriotic troops at the war front, literally fighting with bare hands and on empty stomachs.

Are they truly fighting with bar hands? If you continue to say this without making reference to enormous resources the country has wasted on military equipment since inception of boko haram, you must be joking and celebrating sabotage.

Randerl:
Professional Soldiers Now Turning To Professional Politicians. God save us.

Complaining of facilities to face insurgency, have they not taken delivery of arms and ammunition purchased recently from Pakistan? If the country continue to waste resources that could have been diverted for developmental projects on man-man disaster in the North, which is meant to discredit Jonathan administration for inglorious short cut to power, then the North is responsible for the current backwardness people are suffering.

ItsMeAboki:
It equally pains me to note that the so called young educated and apparently technologically advanced Nigerians (like you) still do not seem to know the meaning of the word illiterate and thereby continue to embarrass the rest us with its misapplication when referring to GMB.

For goodness sake, how does not having a certificate equate to illiteracy?
Please consult a dictionary and stop embarrassing us and your teachers.

How is Buhari not reasonably knowledgeable in most of the issues in play and therefore less qualified to be president; particularly in comparison to the clueless incompetent we currently have in ASO Rock, another so called certificate holder whose utterances readily brings into question the whole credibility and value of the Ph.D. system in Nigeria.

@ TOPIC:
How does alleged Bola Tinubu's statement: "Certificate or no certificate, Buhari is a general," translate to an admission of Buhari not having one?

Isn't it quite ironical and truly saddening when the so called educated continue expose and celebrate such shameful lack of comprehension in complete oblivion - it after all makes you wonder how they could have earned their certificates.

My only concern here and in the present drama is: if those dismissed so far on controversial certificates in public/civil services are not illiterate, they must be called back to duties. Good to follow example of GMB.

Endougs:
At the Lagos rally today .. Tinubu said "CERTIFICATE or NO CERTIFICATE, Buhari is a GENERAL"..

Now they admit he has no certificate..?

hmmm

certificate or no certificate leaders are made. Yeah! As I said before, it is gradually getting to the time when those summarily dismissed on controversial certificate issues in APC controlled States and others would seek justice to redress abuse of authority in high places that resulted in their dismissal.

They should just start filing their cases.

Wahala wa O!

Again, who are the membership of boko haram fighters? Yoruba, Igbos, Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri? If the membership are the Southern people Jonathan would have been a lair and dangerous fellow, but if they are Northern people, we should all be more reasonable - young and old and be bold to say the truth that the North has ulterior motives in the insurgency. As much as they have publicly showed widespread hatred of him, even to the extent of throwing stones at his campaign team, I wonder how manage he has successfully convinced those against him to face and destroy themselves. Actions of Jonathan enemies should have enabled us to see more than we think and talk most of time.

good post. It enlightens.

adanduka:
That's just it. Only mad people would think someone can sponsor a group to disrupt his government.

truly! How could a sane person be sponsoring a system that is destroying his peace and success. Those saying that are hypocrites and people that shouldn't be trusted in the society.

Someone stated, problems can't be solved without digging to it's root. Which tribes of Nigeria constitute boko haram? Hope they are not any tribes of the south sha.

jomoh:
As at the time those houses were being built your ancestors were still in the jungle killing twins. That time your fathers and G. Fathers were still fishing. It was part of our cocoa money that was used to discover oil for you inglorious bastards.

Ibadan was built with cocoa money and not your blood oil money.

Akala was a xtian gov, but like all PDPs and GEJ he was clueless, corrupt, violent and wicked.

It's like you are saying those politicians you are worshipping are not more corrupt than Akala. They are all wicked, the only difference is some are stylish in their wickedness and corruption. Don't let hatred blind your sense of reasoning.

ideyvexnow:
Oyo State...

Lazy, Dirty, Poor and Hungry set of people who are hoping that Buhari will help them by siphoning Oil money from the Niger Delta.

All dem know, na to born pikin everywhere without any plans of how to raise or give them a good life.

See all the dirty zinc roofs on all their houses.

Tribalists who will never ever vote for anybody who is not Yoruba or Muslim.

Why waste money building federal infrastructure for these eternal ingrates.

Nigeria really needs to go back to regional government so that these leeches will learn to sit up and work hard in stead of always waiting for

free monthly allocation of Niger Delta oil money.

Man all these insults on other tribes can't take you somewhere good. What if it happens that I am the closest person to help you in life and you keep cursing me for no just cause, do you think I will love to do so. You can't judge all people as being good or bad. If you are good person, you must appreciate those who are good and try to correct those who are bad. Really oil money has made Nigerians lazy people and caused them to waste opportunities. Let's pray oil will continue to suffer decline in demands, so that people can be serious with what they have.

If I may ask, What do have for the progress and development of your own place in particular and Nigeria in general?

gmaribel:
You might mobilize people but you cant buy their passion.......the level of passion these people are displaying cant be bought.

don't be deceived, some people are so impoverished that they will readily sell their conscience for a thousand Naira. That is fact. And that's what mostly translated to crowds.

Some were to catch some fun, some were to search for crumbs. Osi ti ta opolopo eniyan.

gmaribel:
Thousands of everyday people not in uniforms and clearly not paid to show up......

So all people mobilized from each LG and provided vehicles for, just came for empty hands? Don't be deceived, let's call spade a spade.

dayo23:
Welcoming GMB! Ibadan completely on locked down

Really, with the combination of party's loyalist and massive rented crowds. By doing that certain politicians just won credits to their campaign strategies.

Why should they need to close major markets in order to force unprecedented crowd to welcome Buhari and his team?

Politicians deceiving ppl since...

Those who promised to end boko haram within a Month should pls do the needful, call their boys to sheath their swords, and stop being enemies of peace and progress.

The man has just revealed that politicians are liars and manipulators and the largest groups of liars are likely to carry the day.

kingopta:
this prophet has the right to remain silent cos anything he says now might be used against him.......wetin concern him sef...smh

what if this man's predictions fail? I can't see the prophet prophesying. He was just giving political analysis the direction he had expected the pendulum to swing. He has spoken pure politics, not revelation from God's Spirit. True revelation is in the language.. thus says the Lord... not guessing.

I think the handlers of the account can be tracked and arrested alongside supporting followers and made to face full wrath of law.
