@ Babasoty, I very much agree with your post except for the impolite terms used in addressing the individual concerned.

I have the same problem with Nigerians over here, who see nothing good back home. They want to dictate how the country should operate, but never want to be physically present.

I pray they understand someday that

" UNEASY LIES THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE CROWN"

GEJ is doing really great.


We are solidly behind you.

I very much agree. GEJ is God-Sent.

whatever will be will be

Enough of all these election promo

Vote now- Rule later.


Well I choose not to fall for such

Tasty traps

Supporters of the evil genius, I want you to compare all the fans on all IBB's pages to just any of JONATHANS PAGES- The difference is clear.


Please stop deceiving yourselves.


Aside that, I will like to ask, In the history of Africa,HAS AN INCMBENT PRESIDENT EVER LOST AN ELECTION?

The figures given are based on money accounted for and changes from one hand to the other.


those figures were not given based on number of businesses that take place in a state, and yet many of them are unregistered.

Well Abia is 12th, its  definitely possible, though development is still very low there. Looking forward to a better Abia. Aba still remains the China of Nigeria

Onlytruth:
Nwokem I've told you that you are entitled to your opinions.
Quit being st00pid and stop masking attacks.

I'm not on steroids like you.

Why are you taking it personal.

igbo boy:
Odumegwu - The man is a legend and a war hero in my book but thats about it, He is irrelevant now, if he likes support IBB doesnt mean am gonna support IBB too,

He should stop telling us (igbos) who to support.

Still respect the man though

This is one of the best posts I have come across, the fact that persons like you are still very much alive and alert mentally- there is hope for the future of Ndigbo.
Some worship him

Kobojunkie:
Hellep me tell am oo!!

I will try my best sha, some persons' names are only a faisal of what they express.

Yoruba:
I really enjoy how you bare it all on issues that matter.

Some young folks nowadays always pretend to know all whereas they know zilch.

Onlytruth:
Ojukwu is my political father. No apologies about that.

In my book, he is the one Igbo man that I can trust to take a position that would protect me. If I have not learned to know my leader, there is no way I can ever lead anybody.
Ndigbo say" Onye fee eze, eze eru ya" We cannot all be leaders at the same time.

I will not try to convince you on this. We are Ndigbo, remember? You are entitled to your views, and I, mine.

Ndigbo say " ha gbacha oso, ha gwo mile" results count   not stories

NDIGBO  Mbge ole ka eze ga eru gi aka??

Onlytruth:
There is nothing sentimental about following your leader.  

Everybody cannot be leaders at the same time. That is recipe for chaos. That is part of why Igbos have been taken for granted in Nigeria.

Hope you hold his hands on the day of election like a kid would hold the hands of his father, ensuring that whatever he does, you do. Since your decisions are a function of another person's decision.

Maybe you are forgeting that his final decision is in his mind and not what he says openly- thats part of the game. Please reason like an upcoming politician

Onlytruth:
Okay, lets play an imaginary political game called "FIxed positions".
I support GEJ today (against zoning), tomorrow, he sells me to the north and backs off. What are my chances of getting my due ever again in Nigeria? That is why fixed position is a st00pid position in politics.

That is why I said "in principle, I would support Jonathan". But my leader (Ojukwu) had earlier on (before Jonathan ever indicated interest) endorsed IBB. Jonathan has since made some moves to suggest he is contesting. He is okay, provided he does not sell us. We need guarantees that he will not sell us. If we can get that guarantee, his presidency will favor us. If we can't, we should move on.

I don't know more than that.

Ojukwu would certainly know more than I because of his position.

So, I would wait for his final say on this.

That's the sentiments I am talking about be yourself

Onlytruth:
I have said it severally that you change positions to accommodate changing POLITICAL realities. That is politics. Stay one place and die.

Things are changing fast on the political terrain in Nigeria.

Ojukwu remains my leader, and he gets more "intelligence" on the true state of things.

Learn to respect your leader (if you are Igbo ), if you are not Igbo, wetin concern you?

I am a full-blooded Igbo man, but not sentimental. You seem not to have a mind of your own.

from your posts so far, you seem not to agree with the endorsement of your "super model" but find it difficult to express same.


One minute you are speaking for support of GEJ, the next minute you are speaking for Ojukwu's favourite (IBB).

Where has all these sentiments led the Igbo? NOWHERE.

If we continue in this direction, then the igbo presidency will only be a lifetime dream. Cos it appears these sentiments move from one generation to the other-never learning.

Onlytruth:
And I supported that endorsement then.  Politics is a fluid game. Stand one place and get killed. I learned that from Obafemi Awolowo.

You cannot be a good leader if you cannot be a good follower. 

And by the way, Ojukwu is NOT "some unscrupulous fella". Take correction.

are you supporting the endorsement or are you supporting Ojukwu. Please be decisive.

Onlytruth:
In principle, I am willing to support Jonathan as a southern minority man vying for Nigeria's presidency provided he will not connive to undermine my people in Nigeria.

Most of the so called northern Nigerian presidents were in fact northern minorities: IBB, Gowon and even Abacha. Only Murtala Muhammed and Tafawa Balewa were Hausa's. Buhari is Fulani, so I'll add him too. Abacha was Kanuri (unless I'm wrong). None of these northern minority presidents sold away the interest of the north.

My anger with minorities like the Ijaw is that they think they can undermine Eastern Nigeria and survive. No they won't!  
So, they should understand that. If their only game is treachery, then I assure them that they can never match the Igbo.  

Like I said before, in principle, I would support Jonathan. However, if he so much as sneeze treachery, then, he will not contest. In fact if he is not sure of Igbo support, he should not contest.

Igbo is split for now on this issue, but I'm sure we'll reach a direction later.

I'm still waiting for the Ikemba to speak again.  

He endorsed IBB, be a leader, don't wait to be led by some unscrupulous fellas all in the name of loyalty

I thank God this time the igbo leaders have been able to think straight. Please all igbos should support Jonathan.


If we say we hope to see a president from the east, I believe the platform for such has just been created. Otherwise we will only be chasing shadows.


From posts so far, I can see Some Igbos have chosen to act like political babes, please forget about the past and be matured politically

This passages in the bible clearly define who is in charge(Head of the home)

Gen. 3:16
"I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you shall bring forth children; yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you,"


1 Corinthians 11:8-10
For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

1 Corinthians 11:3
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Job 2:10

But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the

hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

Proverbs 29:1

He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

GEJ is the next president of Nigeria

It has been confirmed settled and sealed.

This saying is for the IBB supporters

"No be first person to call police dey win case"

dont be too quick to accept an evil genius because he appears to be the only one available.

I HAIL OOOOOOOOO

You don kill me with laughter

Mine is Titus 2: 7-8


7 جَاعِلاً مِنْ نَفْسِكَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قُدْوَةً لِلأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ، مُظْهِراً فِي تَعْلِيمِكَ النَّقَاوَةَ وَالْوَقَارَ

وَالْكَلِمَةَ الصَّحِيحَةَ الَّتِي لاَ تُلاَمُ، لِكَيْ يَخْجَلَ الْمُقَاوِمُ حِينَ لاَ يَجِدُ أَمْراً سَيِّئاً يَقُولُهُ فِينَا. 8


7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

From the explanation ^^


It means I can go ahead sinning because I've been guaranteed "purification" and heaven so to say.


but how do you now reconcile those explanations you have given with Hebrews 9: 27-28


Which tells me after death comes judgement.

Purgatory is the condition or process of purification or temporary punishment[1] in which the souls of those who die in a state of grace are made ready for Heaven. This is an idea that has ancient roots and is well-attested in early Christian literature, while the conception of purgatory as a geographically situated place is largely the creation of medieval Christian piety and imagination.[1]

The bible said that u cannot enter heaven with the smallest element or atom of of Sin right. The same  bible told us that the most holy man sins __?_____ times a day. So if you a born again Christian dies with a sin you committed unknowingly where are you going? [/quote]This link best explains the passage of the Bible you have given as a reference

http://www.jba.gr/spirits-in-prison.htm

This question goes to the catholics can you  please explain what PURGATORY is all about 


Pls back up with scriptural references

info henry:
PDP zoning arrangement as quoted by the Maradona himself means he is no qualified to contest the election in 2011. Yes am in support of zoning which means a northner will not succeed a northner, in the paragraph used by IBB to lay to claim zoning is in PDP constitution, THERE WAS NO WHERE IT SAYS THAT A ZONE MUST PRODUCE THE PRESIDENT FOR 8YRS. So you can see that maradona just driblled himself out of the race.

Very Sound and powerful judgement

iyeyemi:
If the posts am seeing here regarding the need to be 'optimistic' and be 'happy' that 'our' president is changing internationally broadcasted govt. position cos of a few facebook posts are from young nigerians, then am more convinced that we have a long way to go. Wasnt the decision thought through? If it was then how on earth can facebook comments upturn the decision? And isnt it obvious that the facebook page is just another PR stunt? It's prolly one of his many aides sitting in one room in aso rock updating the page while he surfs some oda 'nationally important sites'

be happy that you have the oppurtunity of influencing certain decisions taken by the president. The president has advisers and he has given you the privilege of becoming one. Make good the oppurtunity given you.

Fellow nigerians, please respect whoever is in a position of authority


I dont know @ what point we will begin to appreciate people.


every nigerian (good or bad) has a potential suspect

GEJ is not the only president on fb, why pple making it look as if its ridiculous for him to be on fb.

if he tells you that its comments on fb that influenced him, what wise human beings would do is to take advantage of such medium more frequently to make reasonable/healthy suggestions on various issues that bother you as a citizen, rather than make a mockery of the whole thing. PLEASE NIGERIANSBE WISER. let us not choose to behave like mediocres

mystikal:
interesting match.
