Osahon7:The president of Sierra Leone is Ernest Bai Koroma. He is a man, not a female president. I think you are referring to the president of Liberia. |
MIKOLOWISKA:'Sensitive position' refers to national security and intelligence positions such as Minister of Defence, Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff, the Minister of Interior, the National Security Adviser, the Inspector-General of Police, the Chairman, EFCC, the Director, State Security Services (DSS), the Comproller-General, the Nigeria Customs, the National Chairman, INEC. It also includes the position of Minister of Petroleum Resources, the Group Managing Director, NNPC, the Accountant General of the Federation, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the Chief of Staff just to mention but a few. Are these just mere coincidences or a deliberate attempt to empower a section of the country politically, economically, financially and developmentally to the detriment of other sections? Nigeria belongs to us all we are preaching Nigeria's unity is not negotiable. If that is the case, all component units should be fairly represented and have a sense of belonging in the Nigerian project. Therefore, this propaganda of whether I have personally benefited from the appointments in my region in the past or not does not hold any water.So, you agree that our president is not being fair and that I should not pray to God about it. Yes, it was the Israelites that asked for a king but when the king went astray, God replaced him. I pray that the president becomes God fearing and fair to all Nigerians so that he will prosper on that coveted seat I J N, Amen. |
MIKOLOWISKA:Are you not contradicting yourself? So the 'change' the president promised Nigerians is to favour the North by giving them virtually all sensitive positions, turn a blind eye to fulani menace and persecute the opposition under the cloak of fighting corruption. So the 'God' that brought him there encourages injustice. Well, if it actually the righteous God that brought him there, if he doesn't do the right thing by being fair to all, that same God knows what to do. Thanks. |
nnachukz:I pray he realizes his errors and makes a u-turn before it becomes too late. |

mrvitalis:I am not in any way defending any past government. But there is something that is nauseating to me. Why is that since May 29th 2015, every good thing that happens in Nigeria is attributed to our amiable president Muhammadu Buhari's body language. On the other hand, every thing that goes wrong is the fault of the past government or any other person or group. Why take credit for the positive and shift blames on the negative? You want us to allow the president appoint only those he is comfortable with in multi-ethnic and religious country like Nigeria even if virtually all of them are from the moslem north. According to you, the only thing that matters is result. Then I brought it to your notice that since this government started their ' the president trusts or is comfortable with mainly northerners' stuff, things have been going the wrong direction. As usual, your defence is to blame it on the previous government. Wonderful! Before and during the presidential elections, the past government was the issue. 'They former president was not competent, was corrupt,' bla, bla, bla.The present government then promised to change things for the better if given the mandate. Now they have been given what they craved for for more than a decade. Since then, all we get are excuses, blames, excuses, blames, propaganda, lies! The simple fact is that the North wanted political power at the centre by all means. They took advantage of real and perceived shortcomings of the previous government aided vy their coalition with the Southwest that felt they were not well represented in the government oof the former president to vote him out. Now the best the current president can do is to empower his northern people politically, economically, and financially and give the remaining crumbs to the South. It is just about change of power to the North! They seem to be in a haste to occupy every sensitive and juicy position and keep political and economical power in the North till the country seperates or till Christ comes. It is your time. Enjoy it and best of luck. However, God is sovereign and only His will concerning this country will come to pass. |
mrvitalis:Yes, and we are seeing the results - There is peace and security in the nation, our economy is recovering, the value of the naira is now more stable and even rising, the cost of living is reducing while the standard of living is rising, Nigerians are fairing better than oreviously and the various ethnic nationalities are now speaking with one voice than was in the case etc. By the way, why should a a person who is not comfortable to work with people of other tribes and religions insist on being the leader of a heterogeneous country like Nigeria? Why did he not vie for Emirship, Governorship of his state or Senate to represent his part of the country? Why still insist to be one country with people you are not comfortable with? That does not make sense to me. As I earlier commented, if the president is doing the right thing and means well for all Nigerians, may God keep him long on that seat but if if he is only after the interest of a particular section, may God remove him, give us a trully detribalized and non bigotted leader and make the present occupier a leader of only those he loves I J N, Amen. - |
mrvitalis:Thank you very much for your comment. It shows that you and the president really want Nigeria to be trully one. I just hope you will say the same thing if the table turns and the next president chooses his team majorly from his region, tribe or religious persuasion. Is it not ironic that those who preach One Nigeria most are the same who are really causing divisions and working hard against her unity? By comparing the selection of national football team which should be based on competence and merit with national political appointments, you are implying that the moslem north where the president hails from who are poor academically compared to other regions and who are being begged and persuaded to go to school by quota system and other incentives are more qualified than other regions. If you are sincere, may God bless you. And if the president is equally sincere and right, may God keep him but if not, may the God of justice take care of him in His own way I J N, Amen. |
Among the teachings of Jesus Christ while here in on earth is that we should not judge so that we wwill not be judged. But the same Christ rebuked the Pharisees openly for their hypocricy (Matthew 23:1-39). He warned His disciples concerning false prophets (Matthew 7:15-23) and so on. Did Christ then contradict Himself by 'judging' others? What the Lord actually preached against is the hypocrisy of judging or condemning other sinners when the judge is a sinner himself and does not want to repent of his own sins (Matthew 7:1-5). It is also wrong to be too quick to condemn without knowing all the facts. Apart from that, we are to tell people their sins or faults in a loving manner and give them chance to right their wrongs. We should not condemn people outrightly because they can still repent and be useful to God and His Kingdom. Having said that, we should call sin by its real name. We should tell people their sins and the danger inherent with a view to turning them to Christ. That is certaunly not the judgement that Christ preached against (Isaiah 5:20, Micah 3:8, Ezekiel 3:18-21). |
CACAWA:The woman was doing what God commanded her. Out of love, she was telling the sinners including including religious murderers and their supporters to repent and accept Christ so as not to burn endlessly in hell fire. Sorry, she had to go that way, but there is no apology for obeying the Lord and preaching the gospel to a world of sin-sick people May be you and the murderers are also obeying your 'Allah' by killing those who want you saved. But my Jesus told me to love even my enemies and persecutors. So consider it if you are heading in the right direction eternally with your current faith. God bless you. |
Winning or losing depends on whether we score the goal of salvation from sin, ensure we don't concede goals either through, carelessness, compromise or backsliding. We defend our salvation well by prayerfully taking the ball to the enemy's territorry. There should be no overconfidence or slacking. The enemy is looking for a careless moment he can capitalise upon. Remember, it is not over until the final whistle. Just depend on Christ our coach, captain and referee. |
otemanuduno:Can you explain yourself please? |
Jesus performed a number of miracles while physically on earth. The first one was recorded in tthe gospel of John 2 vs 1 to 11. Here Jesus turned water to wine at a wedding ceremony as the one they had ran out. Today some people justify taking of alcohol. They base their argument on the fact that Jesus turned water to wine. But did He actually turn water to alcohol? Knowing how intoxicating alcohol is and the penchant of the unregenarate to drink excessively especially when it is free, can Jesus the Holy Son of God turn water to alcoholic drink? If He did, the implication is that He encouraged drunkenness which is sin. And whosoever encourages sin is a sinner. And we know Jesus never sinned (1st Peter 2:21,22). Logically, Jesus could not have turned water to alcoholic drink. |
To God be the glory. I pray we get more gospel preachers like pastor Kumuyi who are after preparing people for heaven. May God keep you, increase His grace and anointing upon you, strengthen and empower you the more to preach the whole truth and lead by example in Jesus' name, Amen. |
There is a provision for it. "And I say unto you my friends, be not afraid of them that kill the body and after that have no more than they can do. But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: fear Him which after He has killed has power to cast into hell: ye I say unto you, fear Him! She is not the first. John the Baptist, Stephen, James the Apostle, Paul tje Apostle and others died for their faith. It is not the way one died that really matters but his or her relationship with God and where he is she is heading. Persecution cannot stop the gospel. |
Yes, God loves those who are openly or secretly homosexual the same way He loves thieves, liars, adulterers, fornicators, drunkards and idol worshippers. As a result of His love, He sent Jesus Christ to pay the penalty of our sins at the Cross of Calvary so as not to end up in hell. Gays aand other sinners, God really loves you but He detests the sin you are involved in. Justvthe way He will only accept a yhief who trully repents and stops stealing, that is the same way he will accept a former gay who genuinely turns away from the sin. So you need to appreciate and reciprocate His love by turning away from your iniquities and receiving Christ into your life. I pray you do so now before it becomes just too late. |
In a hausa community? That is outright provocation.
