Tinubu like every other Nigerian is just exercising his freedom of speech of the fundamental human rights to talk on national issues the ways best known to him. Let it be known that many Nigerians have patiently waited for the conference, therefore no one should be gullible to be brainwashed by some notable people who say both yes and no on the same matter at different times. We have longed for this dialogue and while it is being delayed people that could not understand reasons for their existence and define a role to play for progress of a United Nigeria have continued to show that Nigeria was never formed but merged. As regards the time of convening the conference, it is the best time, when negative actions are full to justify a positive reaction. With Sentiments removed, if you sample opinion votes from SW , SS, and SS whether yes or no for the conference, the call for YES is a voice of the majority. I would advise Tinubu to stop playing politics, this is a serious issues we must all embrace and impart diligently for its success. Kudos to Mr President for his readiness, he should not influence the outcomes against our collective interests. Also the report should not be swept under the carpet this time around. The critics should please wait for the report and resolution, because they are yet to be needed. When the report comes out they have ample opportunities to analyse it and present their recommendations. Pls let all pray for its success, SNC has come to stay.

Today’s Topic is ‘Christ our Redeemer’. Last lesson shows that God is the Author of Redemption and as it pleased Him, He made Christ Our Redeemer as revealed by today's lesson. Redemption is available to all people through the precious blood of Jesus; it was by his blood the price for our redemption was paid. Having paid the price then we are close to obtaining God’s mercy and receiving forgiveness of our sins. God’s plan for our redemption is described in the scripture as a mystery which we must share with others who are yet to discover it. Now this lesson makes us know God’s plan for our redemption from Old Testament and how Jesus sacrificial death replaced any sacrifice by which we can receive forgiveness of sin and cleansing from its guilt. From this topic we shall examine the cost of our redemption, the value of our redemption and the results of our redemption.

Songs of praises unto God fill our mouths and we are confident to proclaim the gospel because Christ paid the cost our redemption and by his saving grace we are redeemed. God revealed A to Z of the life and death of the savior that all people need. This is summarized in Isaiah 53: 1-12, verses 1-4 prophesied the life and ministry of Christ, verses 5-9 were about his death and burial and verses 10-12 prophesied about his resurrection and exaltation. From these verses we learned about lowly beginning of the Messiah, skepticism and disbelief of many people concerning him, how people would despise him and caused him to suffer. It pleased the Father to plan life and death of the savior of the world this way because he wanted a single sacrifice that would remove all sins and through which we can be made right with Him. He was afflicted, bruised, and put to death, while he did nothing worthy of death.

From his affliction and death God planed our healing and deliverance (verse 5), now we can enjoy healing in all aspects: spiritual, emotional and physical healing. He was wounded and pierced and laid to be slaughtered like animal, he did not make any effort to defend himself. In submission to the will of God, he took all punishments we deserve upon himself, so that we can live at peace with God. Because he died willingly for sins of many God glorified him and made redemption possible through his sacrificial death. Christ’s death and resurrection is described as the sufficient sacrifice. Before his coming only the high priest was in charge of shedding blood of goats for covering sins of people, whereas himself would use the blood of bull to remove his own sin. This reflected what Jesus the High Priest of the New Testament would replace. He offered his blood for the single sacrifice God wanted, therefore no more blood of goats and bulls, we are now redeemed by his precious blood. He is the mediator a sinner needs to be purified and justified.

Our redemption is of great value. Through it God’s righteousness is free to us. Also we are justified by God’s grace. All unrighteousness is sin, and all people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and if sins should be judged no one can be righteous. And because of God’s righteousness and justice sin must be punished. It is the atoning death of Christ that removes our guilt and justifies us. We are justified by God’s grace but we must come to right relationship with God. We must walk in holiness, godliness and righteousness. God enables us to live holy lives through His Spirit. We have been redeemed from empty way of living by the precious blood of Jesus, the only precious offer that has eternal value. Any other offers that man can make to God are of no eternal value no matter how precious they are.

The results of our Redemption are now manifesting as promised by God. Christ’s death removed curse of the law from us. Trying to be righteous by observing all dictates of law becomes a curse because the hard` people try to do this they fail. Therefore Christ took the curse of law on himself, and through his death the curse was removed from us. At salvation we can easily receive promise of the Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ. Through the redemption believers receive the gift of belonging to God. Believers can now boast of their adoption as children to the family of God. It is God’s desire that all people become part of his family through Christ our redeemer. May God help us. Lesson texts: Isaiah 53:1-12; Romans 3:21-26; Galatians 3:13-14; Ephesians 1:3-10; Hebrews 9: 11-15; 1 Peter 1:18-21.

emmasege: Osun e ronu o!. I hope this man wouldn't have destroyed Osun beyond remedy by the time he would have looted all that is "lootable". Why re-distribute students against their choices knowing fully well that some of them must have chosen the nearest school to their home or for some other reason. What pains me the most is the colossal waste of public resources that is involved and given the fact that this 4-5-3 system will definitely be reversed by some other government someday.
I am also curious to know if the students will still be writing primary school leaving certificate since they are now on 4-5-3 as against the 6-3-3 educational system.
Aregbesola- omo a t'oko wa b'ale je.

if this education policy can not be sustained immidiately after Aregbesola why this colossal loss in the first instance? It wouldn't be proper to destroy such a public and famous school of historical values for a shopping mall privately owned by some influencial members of the society. Look before you leap o.

food for thought

9jadelta: I believe If its or time to die, nothing god or any sky daddy could do. I can bet, 99% of those that died believed in god but god just didn't give a damn about them or may be they have been worshiping wrong god. u asked me to give my life to Christ, u Aa a Christian, do u have full assurance that u are safe from danger?

Don't you know you are alive presently for a purpose, you do not know what the next moment holds, either to your favour or dismay. That is reason for every second you find yourself hale and hearty give thanks to God. Because of His interest particularly in human beings He sees all secrets and happenings about and around us. If we are alive it is by His grace and to His glory. Any moment someone dies He is being awaited for the account of how he has spend his life. God gives everyone grace to prove himself whether he will live worthy of His will. Under any circumstance God still shows mercy if it pleases Him. Instead of blaming God on any circumstance you find yourself why can't you always ask for His mercy and favour. If it pleased God it was possible for either all or non of the people in the aeroplane to survive the crash. At least some of them were saved from sudden death. God did as He pleased.

whiteroses: air crash in naij is a spiritual covenant with satan some leaders made

That is the reason for spiritual rebirth of the nation and the need to cover your going out and coming in with the precious and the convenant saving blood of JESUS CHRIST.

conflicting reports about Gbenga Obasanjo. some news stated he was on board while some stated he wasn't

lanreni: Why na? You don't want 'witches' to drink 'blood' again?

At times when incident happens it goes beyond ordinary. That is why the Bible warns “redeem the time all days are evil“-(Ephesians 5:16) especially against “forces of evil operating in high places, and the space“ Ephesians 6:12

God please stop anger upon us we know if you Mark sin no one can stand. You revealed to one of your Prophets at the home town of Late Agagu that there would be a disaster during the funeral ceremony, which he notified the traditional ruler and on which they prayed accordingly. If they had not done this the disaster would have been greater than that. God have mercy o.

RIP departed souls. Vanity upon vanity all is vanity. One by one people are living the world, but what matters most is where to spent eternity. May God help us when we are still alive.

May God have mercy on this nation o

watching the video it was so pathetic. I would pray may this kind of thing never occur again

ASUU should please be mindful of other categories of workers in the civil and public service in terms of conditions of service and salaries they receive monthly. ASUU are far better and in most cases the gap is ridiculous. They should please embrace the negotiation with the govt and make the sacrifice where necessary in order to redeem University education from total collapse. I know Nigerian universities are enterprising but researches and technological advancements are not keeping the same pace. What we need for this to happen is the zeal, interest and ingenuity of our researchers.

God save Nigeria

capsogiga: i dont want to know the reason why he killed 6 million jews . The point is HE KILLED 6 MILLION JEWS !!!
i dont care if he renounced christianity or not, he was baptised a christian !!!

... and bastards Boko Haram terrorists are still committing genocide and are muslims !!!

truth is bitter


Hitler Was a Christian

The Holocaust was caused by Christian fundamentalism:



History is currently being distorted by the millions of Christians who lie to have us believe that the Holocaust was not a Christian deed. Through subterfuge and concealment, many of today’s Church leaders and faithful Christians have camouflaged the Christianity of Adolf Hitler and have attempted to mark him an atheist, a pagan cult worshipper, or a false Christian in order to place his misdeeds on those with out Jesus. However, from the earliest formation of the Nazi party and throughout the period of conquest and growth, Hitler expressed his Christian support to the German citizenry and soldiers. Those who would make Hitler an atheist should turn their eyes to history books before they address their pews and chat rooms.

Considering that Christianity has thus far been incapable of producing an unbiased, educated follower which speaks the truth, (I haven’t encountered any), I have been forced to dispel the myth by writing this essay. It is not until I bring up his speeches, my personal info on the Nazi regime and their tactics that a Christian will begin to question what their clergy told them. (I am the offspring of a German soldier. My Opa served under Hitler in WW2 and my father was raised during the time of the Nazi regime. This is important information to take into consideration for I am privy to some info that most Americans do not know. It is common for American media and education institutions to lie to their citizens concerning Nazi Germany.) So, in presenting this information I must break it into four parts: 1) Facts about Hitler and his involvement with the Church. 2) How the Church was the catalyst for anti- Semitism. 3) Facts concerning how the Nazi regime drilled these beliefs into Germanic society. 4) Quotes Hitler made which prove he had a disdain for atheism/occultism, upheld his Christian faith, and hated Jews due to his Christianity.



Hitler’s involvement with the Church:

a) Hitler was baptized as Roman Catholic during infancy in Austria.

b) As Hitler approached boyhood he attended a monastery school. (On his way to school young Adolf daily observed a stone arch which was carved with the monastery’s coat of arms bearing a swastika.)

c) Hitler was a communicant and an altar boy in the Catholic Church.

d) As a young man he was confirmed as a “soldier of Christ.” His most ardent goal at the time was to become a priest. Hitler writes of his love for the church and clergy: “I had excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn splendor of the brilliant church festivals. As was only natural, the abbot seemed to me, as the village priest had once seemed to my father, the highest and most desirable ideal.” -Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

e) Hitler was NEVER excommunicated nor condemned by his church. Matter of fact the Church felt he was JUST and “avenging for God” in attacking the Jews for they deemed the Semites the killers of Jesus.

f) Hitler, Franco and Mussolini were given VETO power over whom the pope could appoint as a bishop in Germany, Spain and Italy. In turn they surtaxed the Catholics and gave the money to the Vatican. Hitler wrote a speech in which he talks about this alliance, this is an excerpt: “The fact that the Vatican is concluding a treaty with the new Germany means the acknowledgement of the National Socialist state by the Catholic Church. This treaty shows the whole world clearly and unequivocally that the assertion that National Socialism [Nazism] is hostile to religion is a lie.” Adolf Hitler, 22 July 1933, writing to the Nazi Party

g) Hitler worked CLOSELY with Pope Pius in converting Germanic society and supporting the church. The Church absorbed Nazi ideals and preached them as part of their sermons in turn Hitler placed Catholic teachings in public education. This photo depicts Hitler with Archbishop Cesare Orsenigo, the papal nuncio in Berlin. It was taken On April 20, 1939, when Orsenigo celebrated Hitler’s birthday. The celebrations were initiated by Pacelli (Pope Pius XII) and became a tradition.

Each April 20, Cardinal Bertram of Berlin was to send “warmest congratulations to the Fuhrer in the name of the bishops and the dioceses in Germany with “fervent prayers which the Catholics of Germany are sending to heaven on their altars.” (If you would like to know more about the secret dealings of Hitler and the Pope I recommend you get a book titled: Hitler’s Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII, by John Cornwell)

h) Due to Hitler’s involvement with the Church he began enacting doctrines of the Church as law. He outlawed all abortion, raged a death war on all homosexuals, and demanded corporal punishment in schools and home. Many times Hitler addressed the church and promised that Germany would implement its teachings: “The National Socialist State professes its allegiance to positive Christianity. It will be its honest endeavor to protect both the great Christian Confessions in their rights, to secure them from interference with their doctrines (Lehren), and in their duties to constitute a harmony with the views and the exigencies of the State of today.” –Adolf Hitler, on 26 June 1934, to Catholic bishops to assure them that he would take action against the new pagan propaganda “Providence has caused me to be Catholic, and I know therefore how to handle this Church.” -Adolf Hitler, reportedly to have said in Berlin in 1936 on the enmity of the Catholic Church to National Socialism



How Christianity was the catalyst of the Holocaust:

Hitler’s anti-Semitism grew out of his Christian education. Austria and Germany were majorly Christian during his time and they held the belief that Jews were an inferior status to Aryan Christians. The Christians blamed the Jews for the killing of Jesus. Jewish hatred did not actually spring from Hitler, it came from the preaching of Catholic priests and Protestant ministers throughout Germany for hundreds of years. The Protestant leader, Martin Luther, himself, held a livid hatred for Jews and their Jewish religion. In his book, “On the Jews and their Lies,” Luther set the standard for Jewish hatred in Protestant Germany up until World War 2. Hitler expressed a great admiration for Martin Luther constantly quoting his works and beliefs.

Now, you must remember before Hitler rose to Chancellor of Germany the country was in a deep economic depression due to the Versailles treaty. The Versailles treaty demanded that Germans made financial reparations for the previous war and Germany simply was not self sufficient enough in order to pay the debt. Hitler was the leader that raised Germany out of the depression and brought them back to a world recognized power. Due to his annulment of the financial woes of the Germanic people he became their redeemer and they anointed him as the leader of the German Reich Christian Church in 1933. This placed him in power of the German Christian Socialist movement which legislates their political and religious agendas. It united all denominations, mainly the Protestant/Catholic and Lutheran people to instill faith in a national Christianity.



How the Nazi Regime converted the people:

a) In the 1920s, Hitler’s German Workers’ Party (pre Nazi term) adopted a “Programme” with twenty-five points (the Nazi version of a constitution). In point twenty-four, their intent clearly demonstrates, from the very beginning, their stand in favor of a “positive” Christianity: “We demand liberty for all religious denominations in the State, so far as they are not a danger to it and do not militate against the morality and moral sense of the German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not bind itself in the matter of creed to any particular confession...”

b) The Nazi regime started a youth movement which preached its agenda to impressionable children. Hitler backed up the notion that all people need faith and religious education: “By helping to raise man above the level of bestial vegetation, faith contributes in reality to the securing and safeguarding of his existence. Take away from present-day mankind its education-based, religious- dogmatic principles-- or, practically speaking, ethical-moral principles-- by abolishing this religious education, but without replacing it by an equivalent, and the result will be a grave shock to the foundations of their existence.” – Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

c) The Nazi regime began to control schools insisting that Christianity was taught.

d) The Nazi regime included anti-Semitic Christian writings in textbooks and they were not removed from Christian doctrines until 1961.

e) The Nazi regime having full blown power over the people began to forcibly convert all its military.

f) The Nazi regime forced the German soldiers to wear religious symbols such as the swastika and they placed religious sayings on military gear. An example here is this German army belt buckle (I believe my Opa had one) which reads “Gott Mit Uns”. For those of you who do not speak German it is translated as “God With Us”.

g) The German troops were often forced to get sprinkled with holy water and listen to a sermon by a Catholic priest before going out on a maneuver.

h) The Nazis created a secret service called the “SS Reich” that would act as spies on the dealings of other citizens. If anyone was suspected of heresy (Going not only against the Socialist party but CHURCH DOCTRINE) they would be prosecuted.



Quotes from Hitler:

Hitler’s speeches and proclamations, even more clearly, reveal his faith and feelings toward a Christianized Germany. Nazism presents an embarrassment to Christianity and demonstrates the danger of their faith So they try to pin him on other theistic views. The following words from Hitler show his disdain for atheism, and pagan cults, and reveal the strength of his Christian feelings:

“National Socialism is not a cult-movement-- a movement for worship; it is exclusively a ‘volkic’ political doctrine based upon racial principles. In its purpose there is no mystic cult, only the care and leadership of a people defined by a common blood-relationship... We will not allow mystically- minded occult folk with a passion for exploring the secrets of the world beyond to steal into our Movement. Such folk are not National Socialists, but something else-- in any case something which has nothing to do with us. At the head of our programme there stand no secret surmisings but clear-cut perception and straightforward profession of belief. But since we set as the central point of this perception and of this profession of belief the maintenance and hence the security for the future of a being formed by God, we thus serve the maintenance of a divine work and fulfill a divine will-- not in the secret twilight of a new house of worship, but openly before the face of the Lord… Our worship is exclusively the cultivation of the natural, and for that reason, because natural, therefore God-willed. Our humility is the unconditional submission before the divine laws of existence so far as they are known to us men.” -Adolf Hitler, in Nuremberg on 6 Sept.1938. [Christians have always accused Hitler of believing in pagan cult mythology. What is written here clearly expresses his stand against cults.]

“We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.” -Adolf Hitler, in a speech in Berlin on 24 Oct. 1933 [This statement clearly refutes modern Christians who claim Hitler as favoring atheism. Hitler wanted to form a society in which ALL people worshipped Jesus and considered any questioning of such to be heresy. The Holocaust was like a modern inquisition, killing all who did not accept Jesus. Though more Jews were killed then any other it should be noted that MANY ARYAN pagans and atheists were murdered for their non-belief in Christ.]

Here Hitler uses the Bible and his Christianity in order to attack the Jews and uphold his anti-Semitism:

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." –Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

"Christianity could not content itself with building up its own altar; it was absolutely forced to undertake the destruction of the heathen altars. Only from this fanatical intolerance could its apodictic faith take form; this intolerance is, in fact, its absolute presupposition." -Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (It is quite obvious here that Hitler is referring to destructing the Judaism alters on which Christianity was founded.)

"The personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew." -Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (The idea of the devil and the Jew came out of medieval anti-Jewish beliefs based on interpretations from the Bible. Martin Luther, and teachers after him, continued this “tradition” up until the 20th century.)

"With satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youth lurks in wait for the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood, thus stealing her from her people." -Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (It is common in war for one race to rape another so that they can “defile” the race and assimilate their own. Hitler speaks about this very tactic here.)

“The best characterization is provided by the product of this religious education, the Jew himself. His life is only of this world, and his spirit is inwardly as alien to true Christianity as his nature two thousand years previous was to the great founder of the new doctrine. Of course, the latter made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took the whip to drive from the temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity, who then as always saw in religion nothing but an instrument for his business existence. In return, Christ was nailed to the cross, while our present- day party Christians debase themselves to begging for Jewish votes at elections and later try to arrange political swindles with atheistic Jewish parties-- and this against their own nation.”–Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

"…the fall of man in paradise has always been followed by his expulsion." -Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (See Genesis Chapter 3 where humankind is cast from Eden for their sins. Hitler compares this to the need to exterminate the Jews for their sin against Christ.)

“Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.” –Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

“The anti-Semitism of the new movement [Christian Social movement] was based on religious ideas instead of racial knowledge.” –Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (This quote is very interesting for it disperses the idea that Hitler raged war due to being an Aryan supremacist. He states quite clearly that he has a problem with Jews for their belief not race. That is why many German Jews died in WW2 regardless of their Aryan nationality.)

“Only in the steady and constant application of force lies the very first prerequisite for success. This persistence, however, can always and only arise from a definite spiritual conviction. Any violence which does not spring from a firm, spiritual base, will be wavering and uncertain.” –Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (Here Hitler is admitting that his war against the Jews were so successful because of his strong Christian Spirituality.)

Quotes from Other Nazis about Hitler and Religion:

"Around 1937, when Hitler heard that at the instigation of the party and the SS vast numbers of his followers had left the church because it was obstinately opposing his plans, he nevertheless ordered his chief associates, above all Goering and Gobbels, to remain members of the church. He too would remain a member of the Catholic Church, he said, although he had no real attachment to it. And in fact he remained in the church until his suicide." (Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer page 95-96)

it seems you are looking for way to justify your evils. Being borne to a Christian family doesn't make someone a Christian. it is Christlike characters that make Christian. Be informed

HisExcellencyM: Innalillahi wa'inna ilaihir raji'un (from God we come and to Him we return) GOD HAVE MERCY!

mind you the eyes of sinner can not see the glory of God not to talk of returning to Him. Just be corrected, this is Bible for you.

texazzpete: I see lots of people saying this stuff, but it's just plain silly talk. It's like saying 'all you have to do to get rid of armed robbery in Lagos is to rise up against armed robbery'. it's fantasy stuff and it never actually makes the problem go away.

I think it will make difference between when people see evil doers in their midst and expose them, and when they just chose to give them a cover. when evil plans boomerang consequences will definitely fall upon someone. Be wise my friend...

what rings well to me is their call for national conference which Mr President seems to be ready for now. Let‘s pray for success of this. Other issues of striking importance should be settled once for progress. Their agitation should not go the ways of rebels. This will not help them and the country as well.

Again Let‘s hear from the indigenous people how this boko boys can be stopped. We are all shocked by their actions.

ermycrin: Some of the survivors of last Saturday’s midnight attack on the students of the College of Agriculture, Gujba, Yobe State, which about 70 students were killed, have narrated how they escaped death by the whiskers, jumping through the window when the gunmen stormed the hostel.

The survivors, who are now receiving medical treatment at the Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital, following injuries received during the attack told journalist yesterday that the gunmen, who were cladded in military camouflage stormed the school in a commando style and opened fire on them.

According to Adamu Mohammed, a final year student of Animal Husbandry department when it dawned on the students that the school was surrounded by the gunmen, all the students were confused and began to seek escape routes.

He said, “We were all sleeping in the hostel when one of our students came into their room in a confused state, saying they will kill us, they will kill us. When we heard this, everybody in the hostel became confused.

“There was no light and we could not go out while we don’t know where to go in the night. Some of my colleagues decided to go into security office to report what they had seen.

“When we were trying to come out from our hostel, we saw many people with army uniforms and immediately, they started shooting us from different directions. They killed many of my friends, but some of us managed to escape through the window of our room, I ran into the bush.”
Another survivor, who gave his name as Sule, said he lost two of his brothers in the attack. He lamented that the attack had left everyone completely devastated and has impacted negatively on their studies.

The Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital where the wounded were taken to for treatment and the remains of the dead were deposited was a beehive of activities as relations and sympathisers thronged the place to see the spectacle left by the attack.
A father of one of the victims, 18-year-old Ahmadu, Alhaji Ado Adamu, described what happened as barbaric and unIslamic.

That was serious. But one thing is real that peoples of the North should be cognizant of is if they want to get rid of this evil in their midst they can, if they can all rise against the perpetrators and say no to them. Learn from this proverb “the worms consuming the friut live inside the fruit“. If all of them would say no to those devils, they are defeated.

what could have pushed the young man to do this? poverty, greed, coveteousness? Or what? He might have been destined to handle and possess such amount legally and at once but he might have spoilt that opportunity by now thru this crime! Lol!

if the preacher was a real man of God and got killed in the course of preaching the Gospel, he too had joined the fold of Martyrs. May his gentle soul rest in peace. The Kingdom of God, place of everlasting peace and joy is his reward. Once again RIP man of God.

asking them is not enough but taking action against them

Abuklaw: Allah is free from such blemish coz he never commands what he will abolish latter, he is all knowing (knows the first and last second of the earth existence. Knows what tomorrow behold and no knowledge is beyond His comprehension. My brother pointed out where war was commanded in your bible and you came online to debunk the claim with such ridiculous assertion. You need to start learning i guess!!!!!

when the world was heading to destruction because of evils of people. God send Jesus, the savor to reveal and teach world the truth about God, His plan for salvation and the needs to renewed the laws. Once again God renewed the laws under which Satan hid to cause problems of the world. unfortunately some people/religions hold such laws that can never make peace in the world.

HE BUILDS HIS LIFE ON WHAT GOD HAS SINCE ABOLISHED. PLS YOU NEED TRANSFORMATION TO A NEW LIFE WHEREBY CHRIST GOSPEL IS A MUST FOR YOU. PLS COME TO THE LIGHT NOW YOUR IGNORANCE IS YOUR SILENT KILLER. THE RENEWED LAW OF GOD AS REVEALED BY JESUS SAYS NO TO ANY FORM OF VIOLENCE AND KILLING WHATEVER THE DISGUISE. NO TO HATRED, NO TO VIOLENCE, NO TO TAKING LIVES OF OTHERS, NO TO ALL FORMS OF WICKEDNESS. ALL THESE ARE THE HANDIWORK OF SATAN.

Fatdon: Muslims are not happy! They're not
happy in Gaza. They're not happy
in Egypt. They're not happy in
Libya. They're not happy in
Morocco. They're not happy in
Iran. They're not happy in Iraq.
They're not happy in Yemen.
They're not happy in Afghanistan.
They're not happy in Syria. In
Lebanon the're not happy. So,
where are they happy? They're
happy in Australia. They're happy
in England. They're happy in
France. They're happy in Sweden.
They're happy in Norway. They're
happy in USA. They're happy in
every country that is not Islamic!
And who do they blame? Not Islam.
Not their leadership. Not
themselves. THEY BLAME THE
COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN! AND
THEY WANT TO CHANGE THEM TO
BE LIKE THE COUNTRY THEY CAME
FROM, WHERE THEY WERE SO
UNHAPPY. Who says JESUS CHRIST is
not the saviour and the Prince of
peace

I pray for peace sha. God of peace prove yourself and let peoples' eyes be open to where there is peace, teachings and ways of life that promote peace, and the kind of loving relationship that is of God.

Today’s topic ‘The Author of Redemption’ God in His mercy and love towards us does not want us to be destroyed by sin that is why He plans for our redemption. For someone to be released from the bondage of a tormentor it doesn’t come easily. At times redemption would be achieved through battles against the task master that must be overpowered before someone receives deliverance. It is the work of Satan that people should do evil and fall to sin. As a result of this we all have fallen to sin and live in the bondage of the devil. Living as a slave to sin doesn’t please God therefore He planned for redemption of people. He demonstrated His redemptive work in Egypt when he raised Moses to deliver His chosen people from their oppressors so that they would go and serve Him.

We are so precious to God, so He cannot abandon us as slaves to sin. He wants us to be redeemed, come to right relationship with Him so that we can be called His people. But doing this will not come easily; price has to be paid for redemption of the precious souls. Humankind was lost and God had to pay enormous price of the life of His only begotten son for redemption and salvation. God’s promise of redemption was fulfilled when He selected a people to serve as His representatives, people that could live in right relationship with Him. God made a covenant with Abraham that all nations of the world shall be blessed through him. By following what Israelites did in Egypt, they cried out to God for deliverance. He heard their groaning and He delivered them.

God used His mighty hand to deliver His people from the Pharaoh’s mighty hand. This tells us that redemption from oppressing forces of evil needs the mighty hand of God. From Isaiah 43:1-7 it is revealed that God is our hope of redemption just as He promised Israelites what He later fulfilled. We are now experiencing God’s redemption through Christ; therefore we must be good representatives of God and allow Him to show His glory through our lives. Now that we are redeemed we are qualified to settle for many benefits from God, as stated here Psalm 34: 18-22; 103:1-5. Christians are encouraged never to settle for less than what God provided for them: the enemy would like to contend the blessings but never allow him to prevail. While we experience redemption, God promises to take good care of us; we just need to be confident in our prayers that He will meet our needs. He will surely respond to our requests when we maintain good relationship with Him.

God’s means of redemption is Jesus Christ. Luke 1:67-79 takes us through God’s promise and plan for redemption which He revealed through prophets as being fulfilled by birth of Christ. Here it is made known that we owe God our praises and thanksgiving for the coming of Christ and deliverance He brings through him. Now God has made our deliverance from enemies and forces of evil possible through the Saviour which is Christ. We are to keep our salvation in mind so that we will yield to God and live under His Control for His love and care to be for us, and not Satan that offers evil and suffering. God, the Author of our redemption loves us, He wants us to serve Him with righteousness and holiness, and without fear. God help us. Lesson texts: Exodus 6:2-8; 2 Samuel 7:22-24; Psalms 34:19-22; 103:1-5; Isaiah 43:1-7; Luke 1:67-75.

0monnakoda: How am I sure ? Are you literate? do you have a brain? Use it.

These days many people claim to have gone to school but it does not seem to have had any impact

omonnakoda, if you have useful ideas that can benefit someone I think you should be mature enough to present it decently and intelligently. Your insult as a reaction to simple fact doesn't show your reasoning is worth paying attention to. pls next time you want toreply someone learn to sensible.

As regards Oyo State the people are not foolish to be defrauded by fake deals of non existing company. People are watching the activities of government and they are not taking non profitable deals of the government for granted, for they know that they will be at the receiving end at the end of the day. Whether the project is real and the govt is pursuing it in good faith that is a big assignment for people of the state. If the company is for good of the state it is welcome but if not I know people will react and say no.

0monnakoda: What is all this story the issue is "IS THIS TRUE" ? What is the track record of this company? Can you show ONE ,JUST ONE FARM that they are running and how much food that farm is producing. SIMPLE QUESTION


This is the company website Peruse it and tell us whether these guys are for real to me they seem like charlattans and fraudsters.
How can a company(a briefcase company) That does not one a single snail,fish chicken or pig wake up one day and invest $1 billion in farming.

How are u sure the site provided is about the company that is planning to spend such money in the state, afterall the poster did not show any site to access the company‘s profile.

0monnakoda: $1.3 billion from where? Try and do some research on this guy and his company? This sounds like bullshit. I am of course loyal to the SW but we pride ourselves on being street smart. If you have $1.3 billion to invest in ANY country in the world would you put in in Agriculture and do so in what is esssentially a START UP and would you do so in Nigeria.

Who is this guy and what is his track record.

What was his last project

Wat is his biggest deal to date. This story does not ring true and the characters in his team on the website are a bit Hmm........


I don't buy this yarn let us not be so gullible.
Would a company with
£1billion have such a cheap website

Go to "CURRENT PROJECTS" and read through ; basically it is all we will we propose they cannot show us a SINGLE FARM anywhere.

Anyone from Oyo State should be having a pop at Ajimobi for allowing this clown to make him look stupid because there is no substance to this tale and there never could have been

Why will you think this is not possible with the current level of awareness and massive industrialization in a well developed and properly integrated economy. It is only when there is no will that there can't be a way. If people of the state are willing and the government is serous and determined I bet that the money is not big enough to be invested in Agriculture in the state. Here is the state that prides in all types of vegetation and soils mostly formed in Nigeria, and all types of farming enterprises are supported. The youths have been waiting for opportunities to venture into Agriculture whenever it is transformed and developed to the level of no loss of farm produce and its derivatives. Agriculture is a system that provides possibility of renewing energy to greater extent. That tell us lots of opportunities. Why should we waste over one billion naira daily on imported rice if Oyo State can be assisted to take the lead in meeting this domestic demand. Abi the soils do not support rice production? Of course the state is blessed with fertile soils. An again do not be deceived cattle being reared in the state is fast dominating the markets and replacing similar markets from the North. Soils are suitable and crops are adaptable, alongside mechanization what is seriously needed is irrigation to support what human activities have left the climate and weather situation with.

Just carry me along esp when it comes to contracts along the line. I would like to be part of the system for lifting up of agriculture from its present ground state to fame and pride of the people of the state in particular and the nation in general Agriculture should be a real-time enterprise
