If Buhari could become Nigeria president, then anyone can achieve it.

No dream is beyond any man reach.

Let Fayose continue to dream by the time he wakes up Ekiti State would have moved forward.
The same way he was dreaming that PMB is incapacitated and is surviving on life support and will not return.

Bhella5:
bros that lawmaker has invested his life in the west therefore he has everything to loose like millions of other Ibos. Bros now I ask you what assets property or investment have u got in the West or North?

The truth is that most of those agitating for secession has nothing to lose if Nigeria breaks up.
Its either their families and investment are based abroad or they are non-entity. That is why most reasonable investors are running out of Niger Delta even with the oil.
I hope our people will learn before its too late, how many of our looters billionaire has investment in Nigeria like Dangote. They stole your money (Madam Diesani et al) invest it in Dubai, put small dollars in the pockets of some vision-less idiot who comes to tell us all kinds of craps.

Our Sister thinks of the one-dimensional perspective of SEX, that is “its just my body or just physical”,
am sorry to let you know that it takes more than the physical to defines virginity,
sex is physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual. And once your perspective is one-dimensional, it is obvious that other areas of your life is derailed and needs to be put on track, so you need help

I love this, I think in our country freedom on religion is still in place. My worry is when a Christian convert to Islam, it is celebration, but when a christian do morning cry, preaching to the public (Christian and Muslim) a group of angered fanatics will butcher her to death in cold blood.
I just want to tell my brothers and sister on the other side let it be free, just preach your faith and leave the listener to decide.

This what DJT said long time ago
10 steps to thinking big, I think we need to go back and study it

Number ten. Above all, never give up

Never never never give up. The only time you will be a failure is if you quit trying. Only losers quit. The biggest losers in the world are quitters. Winners keep on going, so whatever you do, never give up. My father always used to harp never give up son, never give up, don’t ever quit, I never want to see you give up or quit. Well my father was a smart guy and I listened to him. And remember, think big

Congratulation Mr President and God bless you

chax100:
It's so unfortunate that after the dead of the Ikemba of Nnewi, the Ogburugburu of Igboland, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegewu Ojukwu, no Igbo man has been able to come close to his class. Ojukwu challenged his people to be of good character and be their brothers keeper but instead most of them has thrown character to the dogs. Nice piece my brother, even Ojukwu would be rolling in his grave. My finally words, the Igbo people are one of the best brains in the world, I envy their technological revolutions, most especially the "Ogbunigwe", the locally made bomb and the "RedDevil", the locally made armoured vehicle both performed efficiently and effectively to international standards during the Biafrian war. I still believe in the course of the Igbo nation and Biafra. One day, the half of a yellow sun shall rise and Biafra will stand! Rest in peace, the great Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.

Did I hear you say, you still believe in Biafra? Most of Nigerian shouting war has never seen the horrors of war; innocent lives get wasted because of some greedy, egocentric individuals who brandished themselves “Leaders”
Watch this

and see what you called Biafra war, issues can be settled in a round table, In any way you never have a winner, everybody come out a looser
Let together say Never again

How times changes, ABATI was so ferocious with his pen against corruption and injustice until he tasted the sweet Aso Rock Apple. Come to think of it this was what South Africans offered Mandela and rejected, beacuse he is a leader. Let’s pray that Nigeria will get a leader and a statesman one day. I pity Bro Ruben maybe the name has a lot to do with is see
Gen 49: 3-4
Reuben, you are my firstborn,
My might and the beginning of my strength,
The excellency of dignity and the excellency of power.
Unstable as water, you shall not excel,
Because you went up to your father’s bed;
Then you defiled it;

Bro Ru, one day GEJ will leave office o.

Most struggler dont look for the root cause of issues, we fight the tendency instead of looking for the root cause. In some cases it could be traced to early childhood events, it could be traumatic experience or and abusive environment, but also it could be as a result of social norms wanting to belong or the vogue, BUT the word of God is clear against all ungodliness it does not matter whether you are a Bishop or Pastor God is against all form of lawlessness

Also nature has a beautiful lesson to teach us I have never seen same sex dog or goat as randy as they are, so why will you say God create you as homo, same sex is a choice just as other forms of temptations, you are tempted to steal but when you consider the implications you refrain and ask God to streghten you against the temdency The lady struggle and came out. Like the prodigal son you can return to your Heavenly father, he will pardon, cleanse and restore

Please watch this and see the error of same sex: she was in it saw all there was to it and came out to tell her story, I hope you will learn a valuable lesson

Dear NL, please read very carefully befor you judge me
What differentiates a Christian’s life from a non-Christian’s life is the struggle against sin
The Christian life is a progressive journey of overcoming the “acts of the flesh” (Galatians 5:19-21)
and allowing God’s Spirit to produce the “fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22-23).
Yes, Christians sin, sometimes horribly.
A true Christian will always repent, will always eventually return to God, and will always resume the struggle against sin.
But the Bible gives no support for the idea that a person who perpetually and unrepentantly engages in sin can indeed be a Christian. Notice 1 Corinthians 6:11, "And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

The question not answer by those in support of BBA is the morals behind the so called reality show. These days nobody reward ingenuity, creativity, high flyers in our schools are not encouraged talk less of being rewarded. It’s a sign of the end time (Romans 1: 28 says ..and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge God gave them over to a REPOBATE mind to do those things which are not convenient). I don’t know how many fathers can stand and watch their kids doing all the ills of BBA becos of 100 Million $. The only reason why most people watch BBA is because of selfishness and a medium to gratify sensual appetite. The unfortunate thing is that our kids are no longer focusing on what is important to life but seeking after easy success. I hope Nigeria is going through 2nd Colonialsm, becos these days anything that comes from the so called developed countries is the vougue, even when its sensless. I know if some of us were alive durring slave trade we would have justify the acts. Gos will save Nigeria and Africa in general. The Europes and Americans are morally DOOMED.

Ladies and Gentlemen of Nairaland, lets not derail from the point, no matter what Abiola did, the argument here is there was no justification for anulment of the June 12 election. Why are we asking for repatration, was it not our kinsmen who collected Gold from the whitemen and sold their fellow black brothers and sisters into slavery?. What is wrong is wrong, lets start thinking right

To all d Greatest, make una leave Bad belle people, OAU Reign supreme OBA AWON UNIFASITY and AWO-HALL FOR LIFE

abdulkayus: I read it on his page 2day written in Hausa language. Even me as a Muslim didnt agree 100% wit his postulations. Northerners dont lyk tellin theirselves d truth, dat is y dis religion intolerance, religion crisis will continue here and there if care is nt taken. Instead of lookin inward to solve their problem, dey lyk pushind blame on d other side.
Sheik Gumi, i am a muslim lyk u and do listen to ur sermon very well bt i disagree wit u on most of ur points on dis articles. Tel ur northerner bro who behave lyk herd of sheeps d truth.
CIAO.

Thnx so much Abdul, with this type of post from a muslim I think there is hope for Nigeria, have a wonderful day and may God bless you

usermane: HOLD IT!,HOLD IT!!,NAIRALANDERS I SAID HOLD IT!!!
This is an informative thread,not a debative or arguementative thread. Simple news- AMERICAN LADY CONVERTS TO ISLAM.
All these outbursts, comments after comments tells how insecure some believers are about their faith and how scared they are of facing their insecurity of faith.
One Advice ; Insecurity tears the soul to shreds... even much faster than self hatred. If u are insecure about your faith, it ain't too late to press the Reset botton,go back and confront your pastor or imam. That would help rather than filling 100 nairaland pages with hate speech,false accusations,insults and malicious words.

I dont know what defines insecurity if churches where innocent Nigerian go to worship are target of attacks
Yes we all agree, anybody can switch from whatever faith, I dont have any issue with that but please inform the general NLders the evil of killing and maiming all in the name of faith
Most NLders post comments on Pastors who they judge have gone excess, nobody have issue a death warrant, let be civil in dealing with each other

This is beautiful, let them call Jesus whatever name they wish, its not new, even the Pharises did it yet the gospel continue to spread, am not afarid of sucide bombers, for me to die is great gain

jerseyboy: 1. Christians are insecure not about their religion but their safety and lives with them being killed and maimed every Sunday. Islam is the aggressor and the ignorant cult masquerading as a religion.

2. Non Muslims are not interested in exterminating anyone. All major religions on earth (Islam is not a religion, it is an instrument of terror) forbid their followers to kill or harm any human. Christianity even forbids self defense against aggression.

3. It does not bother Christians whatever abuse you put on Jesus. That in itself is the ultimate sign of being secure in your belief. Jesus does not need Muslim love and respect. Just stop killing his people.

Finally what do you think will happen to Islam without the condemnation of death put on adherents who leave the cult? It will collapse universally as it is collapsing in south west Nigeria, Sierra Leone etc. Only FORCE can keep Islam around. And it wont be for long as we are in an age of super enlightenment. Only culture , habit, rebellion and terror can keep anyone a Muslim.

I dont have any problem with anybody converting from one faith to another, my crux is why becoming violent and forcefull when another convert fron Islam into Xtian Faith
My advvice for both Xtians and other faith alike is dont fight for your saviour, defend your faith by telling everyone why you are a beliver in that faith, nobody can cover the truth forever
There was a time christianity preach that the earth was flat untill a better understanding came and we all ebraced it and lived with it. When you go over the bend to kill and destroy or you defend those who commit such atrocities, then there is a question mark over what you said you believe. My advice to christians most especially Christians is dont be caught in web of hatred, Xtian faith is not isolation but insulation from this present systems. I wish everyone a merry CHRISTmas and may the reason for his coming into the world become evident in your life.

Like Bitty say a lot of Nigerians are re-tards
We make noise about everything which is a sign of joblessness
Where is FARUK? what about Pension scam, stock exchange story

Fashola is running the 2nd Leg of his tenure and as such he is not seeking re-election, so he can afford to pass any kind of law, but what legacy is Fashola trying to lay?
Typically Nigerian, everyone has praised Him for a job fairly done in Lagos, now he want to rubbish it all, just like his elder brother OBJ with his 3rd Term tenure saga
A SAN for that matter. Lets wait and see

[b][/b][b][/b]Dear NL,
The exterior part of a religion does not matter much, although it is about this that people quarrel so bitterly, its inner meaning and experience that are of importance.
The end and object of true religion is Divine union, and if another soul attains to this blissful state by different road from that which is the only one that can be used by us, let us be glad and praise God,
instead of wasting our time explaining to him what is wrong and our way the only one.
Our Lord said, ‘’other sheep I have which are not of this fold’’
It does not matter what is the fashion of the day, theology and doctrine changes from age to age, BUT THE TRUTH REMAINS THE TRUTH,
‘’and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall makes you free’’
Let us be careful how we hear, for what you hear can shape your world for good or evil

In conclusion, what is peace, what is development, what is solution to human problem in real term? Atomic Bomb, Radiative Cancerous material, global warming, Arab uprising, abortion.
There can never be any peace or development without union with the Divinity. Christ came to show us the way to the Father

I wish everyone happy new year,
if anyone listen to the debate in December, it was concluded that there was no alternative to subsidy removal unless we want to end up like Greece and other failing economy,
that subsidy only enrich the high and powerful and the present set of govt official cannot deal with the cabals.
My grouse with the Govt is
1. Why lie about the take off date (they promised April) ?
2. Why is it taken eternity to privatize PHCN (the more jobs) ?
3. Why is the railway still not working as promised (failed promises) ?
4. When will the private refineries take off?

Finally, Falana and others said it plainly, the masses find it hard to trust the Govt because of past failed promises.
I pray God will help Nigeria

[/quote]And how would you knoe this tribe of Yoruba that sells meat lol,  I think even if they sell piss, as long as people are buying it, and they are not stealing, life goes on,  I won't be able to know who comes from Yoruba that sells meat as I have seen Yorubas from Lagos, Osun, Kwarra, Ekiti, Ondo in the abattoirs all selling and killing cows, goats etc,  So I don't really know which Yorubas are alapatas lol!!!![quote]

Olumyde, jo shanu e, e be like say the guy get microscope to x-ray all meat seller, maybe him de sell HUMAN Parts

Shell will provide light, water, good roads, schools, Hospital, so what will local govt provide, what will Sylva provide,
What is the duty of the federal govt, when they are part of the joint venture.
Form the statement from Madam Dieziani, the oil money is share by the joint venture. If Oil companies will provide all of the above what will govt do with thier portion.
I think it will help the assembly member to take home 4 million per seesion, I hear one of them even ask us to revert to COINS, I imagine how he will carry his jumbo pay home.
We are a bunch of people without priorities like Madam Okonji said.
How many times have any community block the state Governors office.
Soon we will ask Oil companies to provide us with wives and children

This is where I always have issues with the Islamic followers, why force your views down the throat of all.
There was a time SHARIA LAW was to be forced on all who reside in any northern state.
I have never heard any state trying to force xtianity, Olumba, TB or juju worship on any body
why must everything be BY-FORCE.
Now BOKO H wants to govern Nigeria by force

Pls don't get it wrong, Okonji did not recommend Islamic Banking system, she only said that interest free banking system is gaining ground over the world.
A friend of mine who happen to know a lot about that form of banking system once  told me that for any one to participate he must ssubscribeto the iIslamiciinjunctions
This is where the whole issue get K Leg.

NL my Sister result was released partially
Only English was released Pls what is the next line of action

Hello everybody,
I would not have put in a word in to this thread if not for the direction the whole thing is heading.
Let everybody do a bit of statistics and you will be so surprise of what u will arrived at
The Bishop is a prolific writer,  I can’t put on thread the number of books he chunk out in a year. The ministry investment into Estate is mind bugling, the list is endless

The same church has built a state of the art university and the staffs are well paid

I know of a man called Dangote and his worth/investments, he is one of the few Nigerians working hard and putting their mind to work.

Take time to ask our NL moderator,  he will tell u when u put your mind to work, you will find out that prosperity is a piece of cake.

Let’s ask ourselves what have we achieve with the 1 talent God gave us.

They say ordinary minds talk about people, while average minds talk about events, but GREAT minds talk about ideas (where do you belong to)

GET TO WORK & SWEAT, then tomorrow Forum like this will be talking about you
Shalom

It’s so sad that creations of God can tear each other apart all in the name of the same God. I am Christian Yoruba and I remember my growing up days in Lagos, during Ed el Maloud all of us kid run to our Muslim friend home and eat the Ram together, during Xmas it’s our turn to share jolof rice with our Muslim friends. Our parents never raised eyebrow because we see each other as family.
It’s so sad now, that even on a thread we can tear each other apart. History had it, that there was a time when the Roman Christians were killing fellow believer all in the name of God, so it’s not strange to see same thing in the Islamic religion today.
The problem is not the religion,  it is the people that help us to interprets it. They do it to suit their own interest and pockets. The question that I posse to every fanatics is how many of our Leader kids participate in the killings or how many have died like the poor, the answer is NONE.
So they keep all their children in London and US and tell us to kill one another.
Nigerian Lets wake up to the evils of our so call leaders. education is the greatest legacy that anyone can give to his people when you are educated you see and interpret issues better.
al-Qaida and all the fanatics Leader feeds on the illiterates’ minds. When the Christian religion open up everybody saw the evil of the Romans.
It can happen also in the Islamic sect
I wish you all Happy new year and Nigeria will not die we have gone through worse
Shalom

A great entrepreneur was once asked to calculate what the outcome of investing the sum of 2000 Dollar at the rate of 20% per annum for 20 yrs will be,
His reply I don’t know, the moderator said this has prove his point that the entrepreneur is uneducated and just lucky to have found himself where he was.
The entrepreneur replied, I don’t have to crack my head with formulas that a 20 pence calculator can produce in 2 seconds and that was the reason why he employed an accountant.
The great entrepreneur said he would rather busy himself with idea that will move his organization forward.
Madam has chosen to focus on what is important, Nigeria first Lady.
It is said that ordinary minds talk of people, while average minds talk about events, only great minds talk about idea, which class do you belong to ?
Merry Xmas
