Hmmm.... This one is strong o! My advice? Bring the Holy Cane

lecturerdabo:
Yet he is "Progressive" and without corruption!!

I PITY THIS GENERATION!!!

So anyone that stands up to GEJ is 'a progressive' and 'without cirruption' abi. Pity yourself o

THE MISSING CHIBOK GIRLS THAT MR ACHEIVER PRESIDENT HERE COULDNT RESCUE IS ONE BIG REASON TO KICK HIM OUT.

Hehehe... My biggest fear was Michael Jackson from 'the thriller'. Couldn't sleep alone

Wallahi ba, its my sincere conclusion that thys man Fayose has mental problems.

DeeBoiyy:
Just thought to spice things up a bit with this question.

It's hillarious and somewhat interesting to listen to peole talk about thier partners.... Especially their first impression of them so RomanceLanders, what was your first impression of your partner?

Looks as they say can be very decieving as many who had thought their partners to be anything had been pleasantly surprised......some unpleasantly though.


I for one have been pleasantly surprised for i thought HER to be a snob and a spoilt brat....
Let's get it rolling romancelanders

Well i thought she was waayyyy out of my league. Too classy, to beautiful, too endowed to give me any artention. Now that we are married, i like to observe her when she is dressing up and go 'chai! All the shakara that time. No be you be dis for ma house as my wife. Hehehe'

engrtee:
NO BODY IS CRITICIZING THE NEWSPAPERS FOR SUCH CAMPAIGN.

BUT WHEN PDP DID THEIRS,WE STARTED STONING PUNCH AND AIT

Cant beleive u said that. Does this compare to the personality trAshing that PDP is doing? Do u see any reference to GEJ's drinking problems or his family issues or his health? Haba! Think na. Is there any insult to his personality here? U ma sef

Hehehehe..... Desperado PDP o

mrmetoo1:
What folks don't understand is, if you present Nigeria's case before foreigners 10 out of 10 times they'll be confused as how GEJ still has a chance, it defies logic. Missing girls, Boko Haram, biggest economy not being felt in the pockets of the working man. What we do is celebrate trains from the 70s. We talk about reform in agriculture yet we still import most of our food. Everyone has become poorer whether you like it or not with this crashing Naira. Anyone that's making N100,000/month has lost over N20,000. It really doesn't make sense GEJ has a chance but oh well

U have a point o. I think our human nature of greed and selfishness is really putting us at a terrible spot. We prefer to go with whats not working simply because we feels its our in ethnicity, religion or otherwise

Arrengee...!

How na! U think say na naija?

Jonathan and Buhari
A well-known Roman Catholic independent school for girls in Surrey, London, Woldingham School, has conducted mock elections ahead of this month’s elections.

In a highly spirited and empassioned ‘pre-election’ debate which featured the two dominant Nigerian political parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), Amarachi Onyebuchi and Siobhan Obi filled in for President Jonathan and Vice-President Namadi Sambo, while Oreoluwa Ogunbiyi and Susannah Peppiatt stood in for General Buhari and his Vice-President candidate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo respectively.

The issues discussed during the ‘pre-election’ debate ranged widely from corruption to feminism, to the future of Nigeria’s largely oil-based economy, given the global fall in oil prices. Speaking for the PDP, Amarachi and Siobham, focused largely on President Jonathan’s economic achievements during his six years in office, pointing to the fact that the Nigerian economy, in the last year, became the largest in Africa, something the two speakers claimed was linked to the rebasing of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Products (GDP).

The APC representatives, Oreoluwa and Susannah fired back, insisting that the rebasing of the economy could not be attributed solely to the PDP presidency.
Speaking further, the APC spokespersons picked upon Jonathan’s poor record on corruption and also discussed the issue of “the missing N20billion” and the unjust firing of Sanusi Lamido, especially in the light of the fact that the PDP has just gone to visit Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano, to appeal for his vote.

Although the pre-debate mood had anticipated the win of the APC, many attendees were impressed by the argument put forward by the PDP, acknowledging that despite Jonathan’s failure to deal with Boko Haram and increasing unemployment, what Nigeria needed the most was continuity.

They also raised concerns about Buhari’s role as a former military head of state who had imprisoned many journalists and activists, in what seemed to be a fight against free speech, and also, the potential significance of his identity as a Muslim in his role as President.

APC’s Susannah and Oreoluwa were no less inspiring, referring to Doyin Okupe’s use of ‘Bring back Jonathan” slogans as being distasteful in the light of the continuing plight of the missing Chibok girls.

Both sides stressed the need to bolster Nigeria’s agricultural sector and diversify the economy by supporting farmers across the country and improving inter-regional competitiveness, to ensure that the Nigerian economy was not left at the mercy of oil.

The representatives of both political parties took questions from the floor, which were answered with diligence, in evidence that both sides had done extensive research into the policies in the respective manifestos of both parties.

After the debates, voting took place in mock elections. When the results were announced the next day at the full school assembly, the APC scored 79.24 per cent of the votes cast and 20.7 per cent went to the PDP.

Woldingham School also plans to hold another debate and mock elections ahead of the May British elections.

Guy review your write up, the catholic church is no longer a member of CAN.

Moreover, this obvious bribery though not impossible is not likely.

And FYI, The Carholic church ARE still members of CAN. They only annouced a trmporary suspension of active membership pending when things ll improve

9jatriot:
Guy review your write up, the catholic church is no longer a member of CAN.

Well, i report what happened. The news here is that the cash wash distributed through CAN. If it landed in the Catholic church, doesnt that tell u that the claims of non-membership and non-participation may be only stories? The beneficiaries were not strictly catholics o. So, as much as you feel i should have said otherwise, this is actually what happened

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (CAN), NOW UNCLAD
hey guys. I just got info here in Dutse Jigawa about some CAN activities as regards politics; here goes

About four days back, some of my friends notice how their Catholic member colleagues at work were receiving calls and then eventually sneaked out of work to run to church for a bit. When they returned and things didn't go as planned for some, thats how the info got out about happened.
They learnt that the Chaplain at Aso Rock had been given money to distribute to CAN. That of Jigawa landed at Christ the King Catholic Church, Dutse.
Few relevant members were informed whom in turn informed their friends. Lowlives however, where exempted. Those on the list got amounts ranging from N30,000-N300,000. Others who came on short notice got N4000-N10,000. These 'lucky' ones even included Hausa-Muslim bike men who got the hint from around.
Lowlives (one of whom is a cleaner in the church and who broke the news to my friends because she felt she was treated 'unfairly') said they were told by 'father' behind a locked entrance that they were late and they should leave. She said she had to beg someone when they father left before she gained entrance.

Hmmm... Can i say sad?! So sad that CAN and politics are so married. CAN is now a striper in a strip bar, fully unclad and dancing to the rhythm of Politics sitting right there on the sofa. And this acts are more depressing than a lap dance.
Some Pastors have unceremoniously absconded back to their villages, leaving the flock with 'i'll be praying for you' speeches. Later this year, we ll all hear them brag about being fearless defenders of the flock.

Its amazing that as long as anything is done by the 'ordained man of God', good or bad, it cant be questioned nor challenged cos it ll amount to 'judging the anointed'. Well friends, christian theology is deeper than that. Its only a matter of time before God raises a new breed to carry 'the Truth' to the nations. SHALOM

SuperMartins:
Wats ur point pls?
Hate Mauzu,Pdp or donot vote Jonathan?

just musing... PDP using the Islamist card when they house thesame barons. its only clear that the fools are the populace. I wonder if they ll still use that card if the odds favored a northernern

Adamu Muazu the PDP National Chairman is an Islamist and unrepentant sharia advocate who ordered the slaughtering of Christians as Bauchi state Governor in 2001.The current PDP Chairman, Adamu Muazu as Governor of Bauchi state adopted sharialaw as part of the law of Bauchi state and signed it into law in 2001. Buhari as former military Head of State with immense power did not adopt Sharia law as national law, healso refused to register Nigeria as a member of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). It was IBB that later registered Nigeria as a member of the OIC after his successful palace coup against Buhari.Adamu Muazu is an unrepentant Islamist. At least 30 Christians were killed during a June 2001 outbreak of violence between Muslims and Christians in the Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro areas of northern Nigeria's Bauchi state.More than 158 Christian-owned houses were burned, along with two churches and a Bible school belonging to the Church of Christ in Nigeria, according to a statement signed by four leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

The religious clashes began on June 18, 2001, after Bauchi Governor Alhaji Ahmed Adamu Muazu declared on June 1 that Islamic (sharia) law applied to all persons in the state, not Muslims only. On June 4, Muazu assigned an Islamic court judge to Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro Local Government Areas to enforce Islamic law inthe predominantly Christian villages.The four Christian leaders, Rev. Markus Musa, Rev. Canon H.A. Eluwa, Michael Lulu and Yunusa Manzo, accused the governor of masterminding the Christian killings."He knew well that Christians were slaughtered at a roadblock at Zwall and Burgel villages by Muslim jihadists. Yet, to date he did nothing about it," the Christian leaders claimed."The fact that Governor Ahmed Adamu Muazu, as the chief security officer in the state, did nothing to prevent the slaughtering of the Christians at those roadblocks means that he actually helped in the planning and execution of the jihad against the Christians in Bauchi state," the Christian leaders concluded.Recently, President Jonathan despite the false accusation of his campaign team against Buhari, attended an OIC meeting and this is the first time this is happening in 15 years. This evinces the fact that President Jonathan and his handlers are award winning liars who are extremely desperate for power.Based on the foregoing it is becoming increasingly clear that the long-standing allegations against Buhari that he is a Sharia advocate and Islamist is diversionary, wicked and hypocritical. It is the PDP as exemplified by its Chairman Adamu Muazu that not only advocated that Sharia be widely adopted in Nigeria but also adopted and enforced Sharia law.Bunmi Awoyemi, Ph.D

www.punchng.com/opinion/viewpoint/the-trouble-with-the-buhari-manifesto/

I am an advocate for change, Buhari is my choice for d year. however, I must confess that when I read through his manifesto, I noticed they were ideas with no explanation of how they would be archived. so, I concluded that Buhari is no messiah, but he I prefer him than a clueless GEJ. at least Buhari will not let the north go down in flames like Mr President.
one manifesto that drew my attention was that of Sam Nda-Isaiah. it's a shame he don't go far

In his most recent column for Saturday Sun titled ‘Press Clips’, veteran Nigerian journalist Mike Awoyinfa chronicled Redeemed Pastor J.T. Kalejaiye’s explosive sermon last Sunday in which heappeared to be canvassing support for the APC Buhari-Osinbajo ticket come February 2015.In his message, Pastor Adeboye’s close confidant and touted to be among the favourites to one day take over Redeemed Christian Church Of God (RCCG)predicted ‘there would be a pleasant surprise in 2015 elections’, telling congregants to ‘go and mark it’.Sounding angry with the way Nigeria is going, Kalejaiye, the regional evangelist of RCCG fumed: “Ofwhat use is my brother, my blood brother who is not going to move the nation forward? And you want me to vote for him because he is my brother? Don’t let usdeceive ourselves.”He continued, “We have to change our system… Who is a Christian? Who is a Muslim? When I was workingsomewhere, my boss was a Muslim. I enjoyed under him. My boss provoked me to study further. My boss was always after my welfare. It shall be well him wherever he is today. He is a Muslim. The soldier attached to me was with me for almost 15 years. I never knew he was a Muslim. The day he opened his mouth to say “Sir, I am Muslim,” I said “What? But you follow me to the camp. You do this, you do that.” He said that when it was time to pray he would pray.

“Brethren, wake up! Who is a Christian? That somebody goes to church doesn’t make him a Christian. That somebody bears Christian name doesn’t make him a Christian. You are a Christian yetthere is no employment for our youths. People who should be feeding their parents are still being fed by their parents. How many youths can get married today without the support of their parents financially?During our own time, we did our wedding, we only called our parents to come and eat. Today, our children who are 35, we are still feeding them.“What are we saying? Let’s call a spade a spade, brethren. Things cannot continue this way. Corruption is the order of the day. You can steal and nothing will follow. That’s all… Brethren, if you don’t do something, something will do you. Wake up!”Pastor Kalejaiye’s veiled support for Buhari comes after he appointed Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, also a high ranking Redeemed Pastor, as his running mate for the February 2015 general elections under the bannerof APC.

o please! counseling and pastoring had ethical code, its called ministerial ethics. any sound pastor knows not to make such references in the course of his preaching. at best, such references should be made to an audience that are distant from counselee

President Jonathan gives emotional speech on APC, Amaechi’s comment on parallel government

President Goodluck Jonathan has said Nigeria is not the personal estate of anybody but for the generality of Nigerians.

Speaking on Thursday during the Christmas service at the St Matthew’s Anglican Church, Maitama, Abuja, Jonathan said only the will of God shall prevail on the forthcoming general elections.

President Jonathan in a lengthy speech said: “It is a week to the end of the year. Next year, from January, we will see all political actors campaigning and from the middle of February to the end, we will have the elections at the various levels.”


“I believe we the politicians are not putting out the right utterances and I am very sure that those of you who mean well for this country are not happy with us.”

“As a politician, you want people to elect you, to perform a responsibility. If you mean well for the country, the country is nobody’s personal estate but you want to serve. If people want you to serve, you serve and if they say ‘no’, you leave,”

“Nigeria is nobody’s personal estate, Nigeria is nobody’s business enterprise, Nigeria is nobody’s father’s, property, it belongs to all Nigerians.

“I get embarrassed when we the politicians, maybe including me make provocative statements, statements that create division among Nigerians; statements that can set this country ablaze. I don’t think that is what a leader should do, I don’t think that is the kind of seed a leader should sow.


“Take those who take government by violence. Look at African countries and those who kill to take power, they never end well. Few cases though, probably in society where everybody goes the same way.

“If a politician wants to take power whether at the house of assembly level, at the House of Representatives or senate or governor or president, you don’t sow seed of discord and enmity because of course, it will consume you.

the wind has blown and we are gradually seeing the anus of the cork

olatunji21:
The third national convention and
presidential primary of the All
Progressives Congress went under way in
the early hours of Thursday at the Teslim
Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
Five aspirants of the party, who include a
former Head of State, Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari; a former Vice-
President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar;
Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Rabiu
Kwankwaso, publisher of Leadership
newspapers, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah, and
Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas
Okorocha.
Although known to be taciturn, Buhari sent
the crowd of delegates and party members
agog with his speech delivered in less than
10 minutes.
He said, “I have always served Nigeria to
the best of my ability. I have always tried
to give more to the nation than it has given
me. This is the principle of service that has
guided my public life. Thus, I am not a
rich person. I can’t give you a pocketful of
dollars or naira to purchase your support.
Even if I could, I would not do so. The
fate of this nation is not up for sale.
“What I will give you, and this nation is
all of my strength, commitment, sweat and
toil in the service of the people. What I
can give you is my all.
“I do not intend to rule Nigeria. I want
to democratically govern it with your help.
I seek a Nigeria where Christians and
Muslims may practise their faiths in peace
and security; a Nigeria that is just and
where corruption no longer trespasses into
our institutions and national behavior and a
Nigeria where our diversity could be used
for our national prosperity.
“Nigeria is our home. Let us now turn it
into the great nation we know it can and
should be.”
Buhari’s speech drew a loud ovation from
the crowd, some of who gave him a
standing ovation.
In what could pass for where the sympathy
of the governors and the APC national
leadership lies, the VIP section, where the
party’s past and current national chairmen,
Chief Bisi Akande and Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun, respectively sat went
agog after Buhari made his famous speech.
When called to make his speech, Okorocha,
who said he has the capability to lead the
country, added that he remained the
youngest of the contestants and thus should
be giving the votes to lead the party in next
year’s general election.
But the crowd beside the VIP section
busted into chants in Yoruba, saying
“Arugbo la fe, arugbo la fe,” meaning “we
want an old man.”
Specifically, Okorocha had told the crowd
that Buhari is above 70 years old, even as
he said Atiku is 63 while he gave the age
of Nda-Isaiah as 58 and that of
Kwnkwaso as 58, saying that he is only 52.
Okorocha said, “Buhari is 73, Atiku is 68,
Nda-Isiaih is 58, Kwankwaso is 58,
Obama is 53, Rochas is only 52 years old.
Nigeria of today is different of Nigeria of
the 60s, I offer myself to run for the
exalted office of the president in order to
save the suffering masses.”
Atiku said he had been in the vanguard
against bad governance and military
dictatorship, recalling how state agents
stormed his house and tied up his son and
killed six policemen during an attack on his
home in Adamawa during the military era.
He said, “Nigerians are tired to see
Nigerians slaughtered everyday and the
government is unable to do anything about
it. Nigerians want change because they pay
for electricity and get darkness. Nigerians
are tired of the dangerous PDP
mathematics, where seven is greater than
20 and six is greater than 19, where judges
are beating up thugs, where the Speaker
and parliament members are tear gassed.
“They are tired of where our police force
and army now butt of jokes in beer
parlours and are being compared to
hunters; where our roads are death traps.
This is the reason why Nigerians want
change, we can give Nigerians the change it
deserves. You people came out because you
believe in change, you believe in a nation
bound in freedom, peace and unity, you
believe that our nation can serve as a
leader in Africa.”

Nairaland connecting people since 1859

Congrats o to you. I am also as lucky. I met my wife on 2go. We met in person 4 months later and today, we have been married for over a year

OnyeEgo1: God i can't believe christians still think like dis... It is obvious op, u don't read ur bible... By the way are u trying to say eternity is by works?... Go and read ur bible

2cor 5:17-22

lack of knowledge is one of the problems in the body of christ becos d believer av often time been told half truth and are so lazy and gullible to read there bible...

A believer? Goto hell? Haba! Then if it is so mr OP u are the next to goto hell cos u must av broken one of dose rules YOU av set for urself and not d believers the bible describe as free from all Laws...

One of dose reasons i dislike religion section in NL

Hmmm... I agree with you o-except for the obvious resentment you pour. Believers are told what to believe. That's why we follow God out of fear rather than out of love. NO MAN CAN ENTER GOD's KINGDOM BY SHEER WORKS. OUR FAITH IS ENTIRELY ROOTED AND ENDED IN CHRIST. Any plus or minus is not unto entry but unto reward.
When People hear grace, they water it down to the privilege sinning without immediate punishment. That's far from true.
OP....read your Bible with an enlightened mind.
