Duru009: You will see the REALITY soon. You better screenshot or bookmark this comment now. Some of us who are INSIDERS don't do social media compaign. Only TIME will tell......
Unfortunately, most people perceive only the reflections of their own personal thoughts and wishes….. but they usually meet with disappointment when REALITY eventually dawns!
Gabbriell: Here is what led to Jesus saying those words:
Luke 9:59 He (Jesus) said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
Then Jesus reply: Luke 9:60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
So what does it mean ? The word "dead" is used twice in the sentence.
The first one refers to those who are alive but dead (spiritually). These people do not know about God or believe in God.
The second one refers to someone who is dead (physically and spiritually). That is someone who died without knowing God.
The man Jesus was talking to has already found Jesus. So he is not dead (spiritually), that is why Jesus was setting his priorities straight. Saying he should leave the dead (spiritually dead) to bury their dead (spiritually and physically dead).
It means: Let those who are inwardly spiritually barren, devoid of knowledge, unenlightened or confused, continue in their arrogant foolishness to lead their equally unenlightened followers astray so that both groups may perish together in eternal damnation!

YoudeyVexme: I have tried understanding that scripture since I was a kid, till now I still don't understand. Does he mean the owo attack that people died in the church, living members shouldn't have buried them. But leave them there for the dead people to come bury them?

Mynd44: Problems 1. Both parties can't merge 2. A new party can't be formed
Solution 1. One candidate leaves his party and joins the other party
Problem from Solution 1. Peter Obi is poster boy for LP will he leave LP for NNPP?
2. It is difficult for Kwankwaso to leave NNPP for LP because
i. His party has strong candidates especially in the Northwest and it will be tedious for them to move to Labor with him ii. Will candidates under LP be willing to forgo their candidacy for NNPP candidates or will NNPP candidates be willing to forgo their candidacy for LP candidates?
Solution to problems from Solution Kwankwaso leaves alone to LP and abandon his candidates in NNPP but this will be the worst political move ever
Conclusion: an intractable problem….dead on arrival since both of them want to be President at the same time!
Sorry but it’s nothing but foolishness….people should not encourage him in such bravado! There are millions of poverty-stricken human beings in Nigeria he could help with such abundance of riches. Maybe when he comes again, he will find himself in the slums of India….then perhaps he will learn how to use his blessings more wisely!!
UrPapa: Lagos overrated slum If not for igbos, it’ll have been worse
Does it not belong to the Federal Government and managed by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) ? So, what do you expect? Is the placed used by only the Yoruba? How do the Igbos living in Lagos make the Airport any better than it would have been? Just wondering o….I’m sure you do use your brain before writing!
vicdom: Tinubu is a failure. The Islamic agenda he has been harbouring will never happen.
Islamic Agenda? Does that make sense to you….with a wife of over 40 years? Obviously for him, the way you relate with your Creator is a private and personal matter to all around you. This should be the case for all of us….it is not a factor for getting anything in this life. When your time comes for you to render account to your Creator, you will be ALONE to do so….no wife, husband, friend or Pastor will come along with you. So, people should use their brain to analyse things rather than wallowing in sentimental foolishness. Anyway, that’s why they say “Religion is the opium of the masses”….they simply refuse to use their senses!!
NaijaCowFarm: I present to you 10 reasons why the APC will be kicked out of Aso Rock in 2023
1.Presidential flag bearer: Of the two contenders, Atiku and Tinubu, only Atiku has a national appeal. Atiku is popular in the North, SE, SS, NC, and SW. With 11 million votes in 2019, Atiku would be polling over 22 million in 2023
2. Buhari not on the ballot: With Buhari out of APC ballot, the core North would not be motivated as they were in 2015 and 2019. This time, NE, NW, and NC will be fully Atikulated. The North will rather prefer 16 years of an uninterrupted rule than 8 years of Buhari's disappointing rule, it is common sense. The North wants to know that Atiku would achieve what Buhari failed to do in 8 years.
3. APC's Muslim-Muslim Ticket: This is a no-brainer. Christians in Northern Nigeria are well over 70 million, from Southern Kaduna to Bauchi, Bornu, Taraba, Niger, Nassarawa, Plateau, Benue, and even up to Jigawa. It is funny that APC could not find one, just one of them worthy to be VP candidate. It is unfortunate. Then down South, even SW Christians are against the Muslim-Muslim ticket. We all know that Ondo, Ekiti, and Lagos are predominantly Christians. The Christians see Tinubu's obsession on the Muslim-Muslim ticket as an affront.
4. Tinubu's ill-health: It is a known fact that Tinubu is sick, and very sick. After Buhari's 8 years characterize by absenteesm and bed-ridden affairs, no sensible Nigerian wants a repeat of that. We see that Tinubu cannot hold a microphone to speak, He only uses a standing microphone because his hands are shaking violently. He cannot hold a paper to read, he is sick and not good enough to be president.
5. Electronic transmission of results: This is where PDP killed APC. We all saw how APC fell woefully in Anambra as the BVA ruined their rigging plan. Prior to the elections, the APC candidate was parading over 250,000 members. In the election, APC came a distant third to APGA and PDP. This will repeat in 2023. People will collect APC money and vote PDP or LP (that is if Obi is contesting, but I doubt)
6. APC and Buhari's failure: It is on record that the APC led Nigeria into two consecutive economic recessions, wiped out the middle class, and created the highest amount of poverty in Nigeria's history such that the average family in Nigeria has been reduced to beggars. This is against their promised "CHANGE" and eldorado they promised Nigerians in 2014/15
7. Siddon look chieftains: In case you have not noticed, most chieftains of the APC did not want Tinubu as the party's flagbearer. Even Buhari has not shown that level of enthusiasm you would expect from an outgoing president eager to hand over to a successor in the same party. Up North, the slogan is from baba to kaka? Some of the APC leaders are already looking to jump ship, but as usual, will wait to see how the campaign will go.
8. Tinubu's antecedents: The North does not trust Tinubu. Forget all the photo razzmatazz with Gandulje and Shettima. They know Tinubu to be a tribal leader, who will not only destabilize the power balance. but will create a Yoruba cabal. Also, the Yoruba Muslims are not accepted as Muslims, moreso parading a Christian pastor as a wife, is a BIG NO1
9. Insecurity: What is the APC going to tell people who are under the scourge of bandits, kidnappers, Boko Haram, ISWAP, etc? Will they tell them that PDP is the cause as they did in 2014? Will APC tell the people paying daily taxes to bandits that they are going to rescue them after the elections? What will APC tell Nigerians that they inherited over 5000 Megawatts of electricity, but now only generate 99 megawatts? What will APC tell Nigerians, that they took over when Dollar was N186, but now N600? Or that Petrol that was N87 is now no longer available or that Diesel that was N150 is now N1500? What will APC and Tinubu campaign with?
10. Peter Obi and Kwankwaso effect: As I write, neither Peter Obi nor Rabiu Kwankwaso, who are presidential flag bearers of the Labour Party (LP) and New Nigeria People Party (NNPP) have presented their running mates, 24 hours before the deadline. I believe that these two are not going to contest the presidency. Kwankwaso left PDP because of Wike's overbearing influence on the party's structure, more particularly how Secondus, a trusted ally was removed by Wike's high-handedness. The same applies to Peter Obi. Most analysts do not understand why Atiku did not accept Wike, it is to assure all those aggrieved members that he is a neutral candidate, who is out to reconcile all parties. So, I see Kwankwaso and Obi re-alligning with Atiku to chase APC out of Aso rock.
The write-up is a load of rubbish. Anyway, it’s all his personal opinion which he’s entitled to express in a free society….but nobody is fooled by his lopsided perceptions and deductions. They can actually do better in a kindergarten if properly guided!
booblacain: Nice write up, but you should use "may" in your title not " will". You never really know what will happen.
Besides that, the write-up is a load of rubbish. Anyway, it’s all his personal opinion which he’s entitled to express in a free society….but nobody is fooled by his lopsided perceptions and deductions. They can actually do better in kindergarten if properly guided!
toujurs: We all know the moat dirtiest tribe, stop fooling your self, even comedy use them to crack jokes on how dirty they are. Yoruba people dirty, stop lying. And their men are very lazy, always looking for free money.
Nigeria is indeed unworkable….a country where the various tribes hate each other with so much passion. Sooner or later, everyone must move to their father’s compounds and practise whatever makes them happy there! All this migrating to other people’s lands for commerce to then start abusing each other should come to an end. As much as possible, people should eat what they can produce and remain in their own lands except for short visits….as in Scotland for the Scottish, Wales for the Welsh and Ireland for the Irish. Then perhaps the various tribes will learn to appreciate and respect one another…… Only solution to living harmoniously in the space called Nigeria!
She should have sued those who go on national TV to claim she’s 61. In spite of her big body size (which is not a crime) her youngish face says it all. What a bunch of liars!
Miracle2020: Buhari told tinubu to choose a Christian but he refused thinking by choosing a Muslim northerner he will get a sympathy vote from northerners. He doesn't value the vote of Christians.
Were you there when Buhari was having such a discussion with Tinubu? What you do not know, do not fabricate. Else you burden yourself spiritually and you may not be able to wash yourself clean. Just my two cents!
CyynthiaKiss: PLEASE COUNT YORUBA CHRISTIANS OUT !!!
Many of us progressive/Christian yorubas campaigned for the Gallant Pastor Yemi Osibanjo to become an APC Flagbearer With a Nothern Muslim as a vice president for religious balance and equity, but we have all seen how everything went and how Tinubu used money to buy delegates...
If no sane average Nigerian Christian could not support Muslim Muslim ticket what made you think Yoruba christians will ?
Those clowns that are shouting religion doesn't matter are mostly Islamic terrorist who won't tolerate a christian succeeding a fellow christian let alone running a christian-christian ticket... Is Nigeria an Islamic country ?
I repeat Count Yoruba Christians Out of Such arrangements, we can never support such abominable act.. Christians are equally the citizens of this country not second class citizens..
We know where our loyalty lies and Nigerians we hear from us soon!!
Yoruba christians wake up !! Yoruba christians Lagba!!!!
The average Yoruba person does not allow Religion to becloud his/her judgment. Religion, they say, is the opium of the masses. Yoruba are far too enlightened to be fooled by any religious colorations because Religion will not put food on anybody’s table. Let the most compatible team be allowed to lead us, regardless of Muslim-Muslim or Muslim-Christian or whatever!
Two02: Hmmm vice president screening nice one. But is Okowa really sellable in the south. PDP is considering him cos of tribal and southern appeal. He might be the right one for Atiku cus being from the south south and Igbo, he might give Atiku the Opportunity to win.
Atiku's popularity has really nosedived in the south and he needs some one that appeals to the grassroots to sell his candidacy. Lets I would have suggested Wike, but religious sensitivity of northerners is against him and his lack of decorum won't make Atiku consider him.
I believe Atiku needs the vote of the south east and the south south to win this election. If Atiku is going to win it's going to be with a very small margin
More than likely, he will now lose with a wider margin!
FireTheSun: Only dumb people give maximum Votes to Rogues! Your Children will one day ask you: How did you vote and elect these Rogues that destroyed our future?
So, according to your reasoning all those that vote for the duo must be Dumb?…… Even when your allegations are mostly concocted and unproven? Have you ever sat down to reflect on Why you find yourself in the environment in which you’re surrounded by those you call ‘Dumb’ or ‘Rogues’? Your children will one day also ask why YOU incarnated there to bring them forth in such an environment! Birds of a Feather flock together….it is Law of Creation! My friend, always search yourself first….!
CheapHomes1: It still doesn't change the fact that Looking at the books is a "delivery of verifiable dividends of democracy". That is what is called accountability. There can be no democracy without accountability.
Even the new road will not make a hungry man belleful. So your excuse doesn't cut it
You obviously have Nothing new to say….just learn from other people’s perspective and stop preaching Democracy on steroids!

Even the so-called “Democracy” you keep shouting about cannot put food on your table. China does not practise Democracy but she feeds her people and even many democratic nations have cause to borrow from her. So, let’s shout less about your poverty-based democracy that keeps people in darkness and without basic necessities of life. It is a case of misplaced priority if your people are dying of hunger and you keep shouting democracy at all costs. Do you think the developed Nations of the world have always had democracy? Not so, my friend…..it only became fashionable after they had progressed substantially in keeping hunger at bay. Check the historical records!
CheapHomes1: Looking at the books is a "delivery of verifiable dividends of democracy". That is what is called accountability. There can be no democracy without accountability
Merely looking at the books does not put food on people’s table. A hungry man is an angry man….it’s only when I’m “belleful” that I can even look at any books and ask Deziani about how she paid for all those jewelleries….!
DOTian: Lol At this stage, it's starting to look like the aim is to push this blundering bundle of disappointment across the election day line. The maximum support being enjoyed by this senile lootocract in the South West is nothing but a huge indictment on the political culture of the people there. It is a testament to the fact that two of the three major ethnic groups in the country basically provide their most corrupt and inept sons as the potential presidents of the country, in other to have enough room to loot the resources of the country.
Hate him or like him, everybody in this country knows that inspite of his APC/Tinupoo baggage, Prof Osibanjo would have been a far better option for the country than this PooPoocrat lumbering around at the Eagles square. Osibanjo has been in this government for almost 8 years now, he is well read, seems to make reasonable efforts to be descent in his actions and in the few times he was in charge while Buhari travelled, Osibanjo tried to distinguish himself relatively. He would have made more impression across the regions of this country if Tinupoo supported him with his APC machinery.
But our South West brothers wanted none of that! They preferred a near comatose Tinupoo in power. They want to foist this inebriated PooPoocrat on all of us as the president while they will never allow him to leade the South West as a region. Essentially, these people that cry for one Nigeria are only doing so because of the pecuniary gains they make from this epileptic contraption. None is a patriot! All are ethnic jihadists. Anyone who wishes to continuously have a retineu of dying old men in power, at the detriment of their countrys progress and development, is nothing but a tribal jingoist masquerading as a vintage patriot.
So, what exactly is your own problem with that? Why don’t you just concentrate your thoughts on how to make your Village a better place to move back to….rather than crying more than the bereaved?
APCnaPDP: Lol, Nigerians the choice is yours. Is this the president you want for another 8 years? Would you want another president struggling with his health and not being in charge. This is not the Asiwaju of old, this is a different man who will be surrounded by thieves and people that will deal seriously with you.
Think well, think Atiku.
Was Buhari’s health situation not worse than this? Now look how strong and active Buhari has become. Amazing isn’t it? We should never rule anyone out…..we’re not their Creator! If anything happens to Tinubu, others will continue where he stops….no one can live forever anyhow!!
While the books are important to look through, delivery of verifiable dividends of democracy are more of a priority in a developing nation. Some people ruled us for a good 16 years and they were busy chopping with both hands and buying jewellery all over the place to the neglect of the ordinary citizens. Even if some droppings get into private hands, at least we’re able to see some landmark developments!
