sucrecandy: So, it was the early hours of a monday morning, the usual boisterous noise of people rushing to work, horns blaring here and there, i had woken up a little bit late than usual, in the mad rush, i ruled out the possibility of taking the BRT bus to save time, i was still shock-stranded at abule egba bus stop thinking of how to get to the lagos island and arrive in the office not later than 8:15 fully aware that any minute i dangle after that would send a cold query flying into my email from my mean, insatiable boss. |

I was still making my mental journey when this private taxi cab stopped infront of me, the driver shouting "V.I! V.I!" . I hurriedly rushed into the car muttering "thank you God" under my breath. The driver drove off immediately as the car filled up in a minute. We had barely drove into the highroad going towards oshodi when this driver went off: "Good morning brethren, you know looking at the things happening around us today, its no doubt the end is near, and the son of God would come for his people". At first i thought he was just going to say a few words of prayer but instead he continued "you fornicators, adulterers, thieves its time you give your life to christ". He went on for another 10 minutes. Puzzled, I then looked around only to find out the other people in the car didn't find any discomfort as I did as they all felt cool and relaxed to the sermon. Don't get me wrong, I'm a believer and a practising christian, I'm no saint, but I do my bit, keep the faith and pray to God too, but to have this old man here preaching and at the same time controlling the wheels is just out of it. As if I was sharing same thoughts with the devil, an overtaking danfo bus in top speed brushed past us, and the driver in his half-focused state took to the brakes in a very sharp thud causing the car to jerk upwards, immediately i shouted angrily to the driver to "STOP THE SILLY PREACHING" and focus on the driving. To my amazement only few of the other passengers joined me to caution the driver. He still wouldn't budge. Our counter-attack became his fuel, he raised his tone a decibel higher, he quoted the scriptures, he screamed, he preached but I didn't let him win, I attacked him, ranted, screamed too, I made sure I made him uncomfortable and his noisy preaching met with very noisy tantrums. It was not until he dropped me off, and i was walking into the office that this throat strangling thing called conscience got hold of me. I began to think i might have been the "Black Devil with two short horns" in the whole episode. I will advice you not to be hard on yourself.What you did is absolutely right cos if any bad incident should happen, what will be the reward for preaching, I believe message is only for the living and not the dead. more so, I don't know why the christian in this country believed that the only template to live is only with them cos if other religion in nigeria should follow this way of preaching in the buses, taxes, some cases where no preaching in boldly written on the bus, you see them defying and shout on top of their voices. I hope something will be done before this this bring another dangerous trend for the country anyway |

Crime is now at an all time low and kidnappings and Boko Haram a thing of the past as he promised He has fixed our health care and people now travel into Nigeria from all over the world to solve their medical problems This is also true in our security training institutes ,I understand Israel are send a team of police recruits to our world renowned facility in Ikeja for exxpert guidance. Only recently GEJ announced massive progress in the fight against corruption with improvement in our ranking by Transparency International. In fact the fight against corruption has been so aggrressive our prisons are now fulll and we are exporting prisoners like Ibori to the UK. We are no longer reliant on imported food and have our very own LOCAL CONTENT cassava bread. Waste in government departments has been minimized just like the RATE of purchase of Presidential jets which was getting out of hand. Women are included and we have a firsrt female Chief Judge,First Female soldier hoing to the war front and first female Minister of petroleum. In fact this is a government of firsts and is the first government to have a First Lady who is a Permanent Secretary ao women are happy Well done Goodluck[/quote]Is this a write up or a crap? I advice you solve this He said our foreign reserve is 38billion usd, is that not only on iweala's notepad? How can you have external debt of 48bn usd and come home to deceive us that we have reserves? How much bonds services that 44bn plus interest annually? Nearly 25% of 44bn. Now 44bn minus 38bn is 6bn deficit in my books though a dull iweala will think her note pad is making progress While the economy remains a doldrum. On electricity, its 3yrs gone and he is yet to commission from scratch a new power plant worst still fired the only human being in his cabinet who knows his onions in the power sector. On health ; almost all teaching hospitals in Nigeria have no functional dialysis machine, the most sought of this equipment cost just 5m naira. statistics has it that more than 60,000 Nigerians die yearly of a kidney related ailment, however, he jets out with his cohorts to seek medical help elsewhere. Roads, ferma is seriously patching federal highways with a budget of over 80 billion naira Petroleum Under his watch, the giant of oil and gas reserves is under going its worst energy crisis in the world. tanker drivers alone can cripple his supply network as they wish not to talk of ordinary Niger republic coming to our rescue via imports. In case you have not heard, Nigeria is very close to Afghanistan on security progress under Jonathan's watch. Education, its no longer news that only 26% of school leavers gain admission into the universities and only 5% are employed. On food and agriculture bro. jo's league of tabularasers are still deliberating on grazing fields for cattle while his mates have mechanized Their ranch. Economy/cost of living. bro.jo's economic blind men has blessed us with all time high of 37.5% inflation though his mickey mouse cbn governor is still claiming 28%, wondering what he will be claiming now that all bankers are at home? Bro. jo is the only Nigerian president that has not initiated a successful programme even Abacha did better with ptf while IBB with FSP and MAMSA, bro. jo is still w.a.n.king with ''YOU WIN'' he has never implemented a single law, from FOI law to PIB,have zero implementation frame work, they only exist on paper. on that same vein, Nigeria has the second record high job cuts within the last 2yrs, if in doubt ask the bankers and manufacturing industries. The naira before his acsention into power, the naira was in a sorry state of 150 to 1 dollar today, jona and his cbn mickey has handed us an unstable 168 to 1 dollar aviation the recent dana crash is a testimony that jona's aviation is comatose, not even the attorney general could challenge the allegations of the dana staff in court, in a national disaster of that magnitude? the girl could have served as a prime witness in a class action against dana if jona was sane.less than 6months of inconclusive investigations, DANA air hit the Tarmac again. subsidy under jona's watch, a 250bilion subsidy programme rose to 2trillion yet no arrest, no conviction, no sack, the best miserable Nigerians could get was an AWOL attorney general after 7days of protests. Bro. jo is the only president in the world whose parliament gulps 75% of the national budget yet they still soak themselves in $625bn bribery scandal. Jona has bestowed on us the most corrupt institution that even IBB the king of corruption is disappointed, not even a single high profile conviction in 3yrs, not even a single high profile dismissal because as we speak, even the devil himself cannot afford an okupe, madueke and sanusi in his cabinet. Jonathan has not even initiated let alone fulfilling a single campaign promise except the one that he needs to surround himself with brain dead women in his cabinet. Devil just sent Bro. jo a congratulatory message for implementing local content policy by importing 200 luxury brands at the cost of over 13.5 million each for a 4 day event.while our manufacturing industries beg for patronage. For exporting 2.48m bbls of crude daily while importing 38million liters of pms cos his refineries are moribond. Even angel Gabriel has barred jonathan's prayers from heaven, this is a leader that just borrowed to augment his 900bn military spending. Still on military, Nigeria has the most under educated junior military officers, before you ask how, bro. jo is too lazy to ask him self why imo with highest national examination enrollments still have the least NDA and police academy enrollments, while borno and zamfara as educationally less privileged, have higher quotas than Delta and anambra put together in military enrollments.Nepotism and corruption at its best Bro. jo is the only head of state in the world whose wife is a ministry of its own. oil cabal: after a 7 day protest that wasted lives, bro jo is yet to jail the subsidy thieves and their cohorts Bro. jo handed us the biggest debt burden in our history By august 2012, budget implementation was just 13% 825 Nigerian lives gone,Bro jo is still trading words and negotiating with boko haram. Under his watch militants earn 10% of the Nation's revenue, $22.5m, $9m and $12.5m for tompolo, Ateke and Asari as national honors. Twisted facts during the independence day speech on his fight on corruption, in contrast to what the transparency international claimed. In October 2012,Blatantly refusing to appeal the ICJ’s decision on ceding bakassi, thereby throwing Millions of Bakkasi indigenes into pandemonium Refusing to cut down on foreign trips and cost of Governance, contrary to his Nation wide address of 7th jan 2012 In Nov 2012, president jonathan approved 2.2bn naira for the construction of a banquet hall in the villa. At a time our debt profile was all time high As commander in chief, he stood dumb while a military helicopter was used for "kabu-kabu" at oronto douglas father’s burial that error in judgement alone claimed the life of a sitting Gov. and the most brilliant NSA Nigeria has ever produced. Abeg im tired of jona please tell me about patience, heard she is still reciting yaradua's seven point agenda for her sweetheart. Total waste of human materials vote Bro. jo again at your own peril. |

[quote author=Billyonaire]GEJ remains the best President Nigeria ever had. In 8yrs time we will clamor and sing his praises. Nigeria's problem is 50 yrs old. I didnt expect magical 3 yrs to right all the ills of the cabals that control our electricity and oil sector. The Nigerian judiciary is the most corrupt industry in the world. GEJ is ready to shutdown their enterprises but most Nigerians are highly uneducated and myopic to see this, because its exactly how the cabal that destroyed our academic sector wanted. Blame not GEJ for super changes take time. But my candid action this year is to commence Green Campaign, I need Importation of Generators to be outrightly banned, and the import tax on solar equipments to be zeroed. The Sun will come to our rescue, say No! to Atiku Abubakar's Mikano, say no to Diesel importers. Say No to Buhari's quest to renew oil well licenses to the North in 2016-2019. Stay with the Fresh Air crew.[/quote Is that a new way to campaign for a one man debated president? ahaaaahaaaa dey laugh ooooo |

| Christianity Etc › Re: Catholic Church Pulls Out Of CAN! by shamson: 6:38pm On Jan 23, 2013 |
changextra: Like never before, this is the time for chritians to unite, especially when christians are being slaughtered like rams in the north. if there are differences amongst them in the association (CAN), there are many ways to resolve it amicably, without shaming the body of christ. This is certainly not the time to be conscious of your denomination. This is the reason why many christians 'hero-worship' their leaders, instead of giving themselves to prayers, and issues of true worship. In the first place, Jesus did not come to die for any denomination. Unity of the body of christ in the nation is more important. If the MOG bought jet and you think he's wrong to do that, leave him to the God who called him. Not an excuse for pulling out. Imagine if other churches also pulled out. This is where some other religious bodies are wiser. God help the church.I wonder what people like you will become if entrusted with position of authority in this country.The first phase of nigeria problem is when people think their religion/tribe supersedes others and this is the same idea some leaders in the north sold to majority of their followers. But, seeing people of this pedigree promoting same is worst than anything.So, Nigeria money should be an instrument in the hand of Orisajofor, and other corrupt leader in the name of God or in the name of being a christian? |

chyseth: sincerely i dont think this is the right thing to do. we re already losing the battle if we can not fight from a common front. i think this is more of personal concerns that can be addressed in an executive meeting with all concerned, unless such has been done and it did not yield any positive result. in that case to your tent oh isrealBut, who are the common enemy you want to fight? Is wasting state resources on few who ar privileged to lead CAN part of the game? |
