Nellybii:
This your claims make me to believe that Wike is losing this election. How can you claim that election took place in 2015?

I think you are the one losing your mind. AAC that couldn't get up to 40,000 votes in the entire country will come and defeat PDP with millions of followers. I suspect you must be on tramadol.

We Buhari people are smart enough to know that INEC does not count likes and shares on Nairaland!

Yes they don't buy indicates which candidate is most likely popular and stands a better chance of winning. Buhari never won even a single online poll even that conducted by their own site. He has been rejected but rigged his way back with the help of security personnel.

There are lots of online money lenders. I want to know if any Nairalander has ever patronized any one of them and how genuine are they. I have refused to submit application when I discovered they wanted my BVN. Please, I need your advice.

Rossikki:
Oh shut up. It seems you are one of those that stood to benefit from Atiku selling NNPC.

I am a very objective person. Even if my father is the President, I will not support all he does if he is not right. I am never in support of the sales of NNPC and will never be in support. I just wanted the terrorists to be out first, then we know how to deal with the 'thief'. Unfortunately the two options available are the devil's options but we still have to choose one. I can't stand seeing people die daily like chicken and your President turns a blind eye. Oh it also happened during GEJ regime you may want to argue. But GEJ didn't turn a blind eye. Boko Haram suspects were arrested in hundreds if not thousands. But Buhari on the contrary has never arrested any terrorist, rather he frees them and this speaks volumes.

When Christian communities are attacked, he does not send quick response. But the day three Fulanis were burned in Benue state, armies were released immediately. When cows were rustled about two years ago, 1,000 soldiers were released immediately. Is this the kind of president we desire. This proves that the Islamic agenda might indeed be real. As soon as he was reelected, the herdsmen attack started again and he has never condemned any of them. You expect us to be comfortable with this unless you are one of them who wants all Christians dead. I believe God will deliver us from his evil agenda in Jesus name.

senatordave1:
Nice.but i thought pdp Claimed that they have results from 19 lgas

This is the unofficial results. Just that INEC has not announced it yet. The election is certainly a landslide victory for PDP but Amaechi just want to look for trouble as his party is not participating. Even when APC participated in 2015, they lost by a very wide margin.

to sin willfully means to harden our heart against the knowledge of God. That is to reject the redemptive power of the blood of Jesus.

Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

chapter 6 should give more insight

Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

once one has receive the kingdom knowledge and harden his heart to it, there is no turning back.

.

And this applies to all who are Christians. You have received Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour but you harden your heart against the truth of God's word. God says go to church regularly but you choose days you go to Church. God says be committed in Church but you warm the benches of the church. God says, flee fornication but you constantly indulge in it and even sleep other men's wives. Are these things not happening? Let's not twist the scriptures. All who profess to be Born again but live ungodly lives will go to hell.

blackpanda:
You are wrong. The people that voted buhari are those who appreciate where we are coming from and what he is doing. Atiku the thief can never win buhari in any elections, no matter how much he wastes on trying to prove he is clean. Buhari is honest and has integrity. We will continue to vote him over atiku any time any day. Not a thief that wants to sell nnpc to himself and his friends

Buhari is a far bigger thief otherwise he has no business being the minister of Petroleum and he surrounds himself with thieves. Is just like a Pastor making himself the accountant of a very big church. What goes through your mind? In addition, he is a Jihadist and the blood of countless people killed by his herdsmen will be upon his head and the head of all of you who support him. You are equally a terrorist to support a terrorist. Your judgment is near and God will not spare you. My heart aches for heartless Nigerians like you. Oh God, why has so many Nigerians bewitched?

Goke7:
Atiku was never a popular politician bruv, he was just an overhyped politician with lots of cash, if not for the votes from the sw, atiku won't have up to 10 million votes, he was never a match for PMB. you guys were just deceived, even the north central and north east where we felt he could gather enough votes, he couldn't. It's not possible he was out-rigged in every part of the country nah. The dude was never a preferred candidate. blame obj for de-marketing him in his book earlier. He was finished long time ago

Why is he always preferred in online polls. At least those online in Nigeria are about 50% of the population. Nigeria has about 100 millions online. Buhari has never won any online polls. Or they are ashamed of him online. There are evidences the election was rigged and the court will sort that out.

The story of Noah's ark is true. The rainbow we see is one sure sign. Jesus also quoted Noah. If Noah's story is not true, then Jesus lied and mankind is doomed. But we know that Jesus proved his teachings with matchless miracles and resurrection from the dead. What else do you need?

jiggaz:
If Salvation is eternal, what does the Bible mean when it said if we “sin wilfully” after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth there is no more sacrifice for our sins?

What does it really mean to “sin willfully” according to Hebrews 10:26?
One of the most beautiful things about the Gospel and the Bible is that there are no contradictions in it. No dark sides at all.

Always when we study the Word and find certain things that seem contradictory to us, it is mostly as a result of lack of clarity, that is, lack of proper understanding of those things on our part.

Such is the case of Hebrews 10:26 which most people turn to when they want to invalidate the eternal nature of the Salvation we have in Christ. However, a closer look at this verse shows us that it is actually in support of Salvation being eternal and not against it.
Let’s see it together from the Word.

(Heb 10:26) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
(Heb 10:27) But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

To get what the writer of Hebrews is trying to say in those verses we just read, we will need to study the scriptures surrounding those verses. That would mean studying the entire chapter very well, paying special attention to his audience and his use of words.
From verse 1 down to verse 3, we see that the author was talking to a set of people, his Jewish brothers, who were already conversant with the Old Testament. That is the Law of Moses and the writings of the prophets. They did not only “know” the Law, they also strictly practised it.

They were in the church, participated in every activity of the church including her sufferings and persecutions. But they were still strong followers of Moses. We would see this clearer as we proceed.
From verse 4 to 15, the author now begins to state clearly that the purpose of the coming and the sacrifice of Jesus was to take care of all kinds of sins once and for all, since the Law with it’s numerous sacrifices and priests was not able to do this.

A look at from verse 15 to 18 reveals that for those who have had their hearts and minds written with the laws of God (those who are born again), sins and iniquities are not remembered (counted) against them.
The reason their sins are no longer remembered or counted against them is not because they no longer do anything wrong. The reason is what the writer had already explained from verse 3 to 15 which is because the sacrifice of Jesus had already taken care of their sins, once and for all.

Please pay real attention to this part. From verse 19, we see how the author’s tone changed. He switched from just explaining things to them to calling them to take an action.

What was the action? Having used the previous verses and chapters to explain the sacrife and priesthood of Jesus, he then invites them to boldly “enter,” “draw near” by faith and enjoy the benefits of that sacrifice from where they are to inspire and produce good works, and have true fellowship with one another.

What if they refuse to accept all these that Jesus had done for them? The author then in verse 26 now tells them the repercussion of that refusal. He tells them that if they “sin wilfully” after that they had received the knowledge of the Truth, then there is no other sacrifice to atone for their sins.

That is, if after they had received the knowledge of the Truth which is to hear the Gospel of what Jesus had done for them, and by their own will rejects or refuses to believe that Gospel they just heard. Then they will have to bear God’s wrath against sin by themselves.

Them receiving the knowledge of the Truth there does not mean they have accepted or believed the Gospel before and maybe later rejected it. No! It simply means they are no longer ignorant of the Gospel because someone had preached it to them. The willful sin they did after that was that after they were aware of it, they didn’t believe it, rejecting it completely of their own will.

The author then went on from verse 28 to explain that in the Old times, whoever rejected the Mosaic laws after he has known about it was severely punished as long as two or three persons testified against him. How much more punishment will whoever refuses to accept the sacrifice of Jesus receive of God at the end of the world.

Having told them of this fate that awaits those who refused to believe the Gospel, he then reminded them how they have suffered together with the church since they have always been among them for long and receiving the same persecutions those who believed in Jesus received.

He then encouraged them to do the will of God in verse 36 so that they can receive the promise of God. What was this God’s will he wanted them to do?
It was simply to believe in Jesus and His sacrifice for humanity. This is consistent in all the scriptures.
(Joh 6:28) The people asked Jesus, "What does God want us to do?"

(Joh 6:29) Jesus answered, "The work God wants you to do is this: to believe in the one he sent."

In verse 38, the author again reminds them that it is only those who are justified by Faith that shall live eternally. But if any man after hearing the Gospel, draws back from accepting it, then such a fellow shall not be pleasing to God, having drawn back of his own will to perdition.

So from the message of this entire chapter, we understand clearly that to “sin wilfully” after that we have received the knowledge of the Truth, simply means to reject the sacrifice of Jesus by refusing to believe the Gospel.

It doesn’t mean that if a Christian commits a sin intentionally then there is no more hope for him since all men still sin even after they are born again. And there is no such a thing as “accidental sin.” Every sin has to do with our wills or else it is o longer sin.

Hebrews 10:26-29 is simply an explanation of the fate that is coming to all men who “sin wilfully” by rejecting or refusing to believe the Gospel after it has been preached to them.

We (Christians) have believed in Jesus’ eternal sacrifice for us and are saved forever from the coming wrath of God or indignation against sin.
I hope this blesses you.
Glory to God!

Big fat lies. Hebrews 11:26 is tied to verse 25 of the same chapter. Apostle Paul was addressing believers not to forsake the gathering of the Saints together and he calls such act willful sin in verse 26. He continued through verse 27 to 31 warning that such act could attract God's judgment. Please stop looking for ways to support your notion of once saved always saved. The entire book of Hebrews is centered on the dangers of backsliding. And Apostle Paul consistently compared the present day Church to that in the wilderness. Not all who came out from Egypt got to the promised land.

So please, stop preaching heresies and don't quite Scripture out of context. Hebrews 11:26 is linked to Hebrews 11:25. Only those who have been slained from the foundation of the world will believe your trash.

solite3:
As a Muslim, you may say, “Oh, I believe in Jesus. I believe Isa was a true teacher, a great prophet, and a good man.”

But you cannot say Jesus was a true teacher and yet deny His teaching that He is the only way, truth, and life ( John 14:6 ). You cannot believe Jesus was a great prophet and yet reject His prophecy that He would die and rise again in three days ( Luke 18:31-33 ). You cannot admit Jesus is a good man yet disbelieve His claim to be the Son of God ( Luke 22:70 ; John 5:18-47 ).
You cannot consider becoming a Christian without realizing that Christianity excludes all other religions ( Acts 4:12 ). The inescapable conclusion of Christianity is this: either Jesus bears your sin on the cross or you bear your sin in hell. “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him” ( John 3:36 ).
As you search the Bible, may God awaken your heart to turn from your sin and trust in Jesus. You may respond with a prayer like the one below. Remember, the prayer does not save you. God alone can save! But the prayer may be your expression of the faith God gives you in the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Dear God, I grieve that I have sinned against You. As a sinner, I’m worthy of death in hell. But I believe You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for sin and rise from the dead in victory. I now turn from following my own sinful desires and from trying to reach heaven through my own works. I trust in the Lord Jesus alone as my Savior from sin. I love You, Lord, and submit myself to follow You by Your Word, the Bible. Amen!

Great write up. I really wonder if there are Christians in this forum. You can't read write up like this without commending it. Jesus is indeed the only way to God. Religion cannot save you.

Nobody talked about the role visiting Pastors played. This is part of what is causing havoc in ministry. You invite Pastors to your church and the Pastor begins to lust after the wife of the host. They begin to date secretly from there and destroy the marriage of another man. If possible, stop the invitation and manage your church yourself. Some of these Pastors are just interested in your beautiful wife. They are men of dogs and not men of God.

To them, it's nothing. They are used to it. In their sex parties and even in public parks. They are dead in sin.

This is the height of corruption if this is the federal government plan. You don't unseat a governor against the wish of his people. Otherwise, it would lead to another violence and it is innocent people who will be the victim. FG, please give peace a chance. You can fight corruption and be the architect of corruption. It is the height of hypocrisy.

blackpanda:
God really loves this country o

Honestly, we are seriously blessed

Just imagine atiku won elections. By now all looters, thieves and corrupt greedy politicians would have reassembled back in Abuja to divide Nigeria's resources once more. Diezani would have received miraculous healing from cancer, saraki will be firmly on senate throne with his errand boy dino and nnpc would have changed their name to ANPC Atiku National Petroleum Corporation

But he won. He is still the preferred candidate. Corruption is in every government. Buhari that made himself minister of Petroleum is not corrupt? What about all the thieves that surrounds him? What about the election that was clearly rigged. He was not the choice of the people. He will never win under a free and fair election. If 20 Million people votes, Buhari won't get up to 5 million votes in a free and fair election. Just let the sleeping dog lie.

There are two kinds of Christians. Those who were born into a Christian family. Then, those who are truly born again. No born again Christian will terrorize anyone. Anyone who does that is not a genuine Christian.

I lost all the respect I have for Amaechi during this election. Never new he could condense so low by his thoughtless actions in the just concluded election in Rivers State.

santos247:
I have read lots of commentaries on the rivers state governorship elections. Most of them are disjointed and leaves me wondering what really happened.
Has the popularity of Nyesom Wike waned in rivers?
Did the last election reflect the popular will of River state residents?
Who and Who is behind the AAC that is giving APC and PDP a nightmare in Rivers ?

Given a free and fair playground, what will likely happen is the previous election is cancelled and a fresh election ordered ?
What is the tentative result so far declared in Rivers ??

The truth is that Wike does not have any opposition but Amaechi wants to use federal might to unseat Wike. AAC in a normal election cannot even win a ward in Riverstate talk more of an LGA. The military presence in Riverstate was something else. It was like a war zone. Voters watched helplessly in many polling units as ballot boxes were whisked away by men on uniforms which the military has denied are not their men. In areas they tried to resist them, violence broke out. INEC official were held hostage in some LGA. It's a monumental electoral fraud that Amaechi is trying to achieve. But he will not succeed.

The Lagos State Government has released the official figures of pupils and adult who died in Wednesday’s collapsed building in Lagos Island.

At a news conference at the Lagos Island General Hospital, Lagos, State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris disclosed that 20 children and adults died in the collapsed building.

The commissioner also disclosed that 43 people were rescued alive and were receiving treatment.

This is not a detailed report. What do they mean by 20 children and adults? How many of the 20 are children? This is how the report should read.

PDP protect your vote. Pay women to do the job for you. The security agents can not easily shoot women.

Government schools have left this level in Riverstate. It boils down to leadership. This is one good thing former governor Rotimi Amaechi did for Rivers state. The public schools in Rivers state are finer than some private polytechnics. It's not about the allocation received, it's about what is given priority. On the average, our leaders are overly corrupt.

Following the outcome of Saturday's Gubernatorial election, the whole of Kano is on frenzy due to the activities of PDP and APC supporters across the state.

According to a twitter user who shared the video, he claimed the Kano state governor fled after the red cap members of Kwankwasiya took over the government house.

Difficult to believe. Where were the security personnel? If it's true, then the security are biased in their treatment. If it's down south, they will fire tear gas and shoot directly on the crowd.

Those guys are foolish. You don't do shady business in shared apartments. You either rent a bungalow or a duplex. Maybe they are just beginners. The only way not to get caught as an informat is to relocate from that environment before reporting. Some of these people walk with unscrupulous police and they might divulge the source of the information. Whichever way, criminal must be reported. You just have to be careful.

"He thinks he's the greatest"

Is there any rule book that classifies such as a crime?

It is classified as pride.

silibaba:
U voted him, now u want him to resign.

If i hear pim from mouth again eh, i will finish ur mouth with noob sibot brutality

I did not vote him. And the majority didn't vote him. The election was rigged. The present result in Kano and Sokoto proves that the presidential results were rigged. We have to still put pressure on him to either do the right thing or be forced to resign.

lonelydora:
Is it Buhari that will grant access?


How can he be a determinant in his own case? Chai...Atiku God is your strength

Just my thought. I think the press is adding to our problem. There are some things they should not just publish. Buhari has no business with the investigation. Interfering with the investigation will arouse suspicion that he is guilty.

DMerciful:
The Op must be a joke! The only way a Nigerian president can resign is to be voted out! You just has an election, why didn't you vote him out when clearly he is grossly incompetent?

He was voted out but he rigged the result. Atiku has started his litigation process. Let's not give up.

I admire the humility of Messi. Ronaldo will never praise Messi. He thinks he is the greatest.

gidgiddy:
Resign? Have you ever heard in the history of Nigeria that someone elected resigned? Even when Diepreye Alams was arrested in London and ran back to Nigeria, he didn't resign


Nothing can be done against the Herdsmen, Buhari is protecting them because they are his brothers.

If unarmed IPOB who killed nobody, should wave Biafran flags in Onitsha, Buhari will declare them terrorists and send Soldiers after them

But if armed Fulani Herdsmen slaughter 200 people in Benue, Buhari won't be too bothered.

Fulani own Nigeria and cattle means more than life. That's Nigeria for you

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. It won't continue this way in Jesus name.

Parada:
How many people were killed by herdsmen n boko haram under Ebele Jonathan n where was you n your father to complain about the death n why did you allow Ebele to finish his term without any pressure ? I remember nothing less than 20 people get killed daily under Ebele Jonathan without any foolish PDP supporter opening a single thread to wail ? What makes you think anyone give a flying fucq concerning your wailing now ?

They operated under GEJ under the guise of herdsmen farmers clashes and the government did all it could to resolve it. But when Buhari came in, it became very clear that it is not a clash between them and farmers. Christians are their targets. Nobody has the monopoly of violence. If you think that Christians cannot defend themselves, you are making a big mistake. And if any war breaks out, these Fulanis will be sent back to the deserts where they came from. I am just too ashamed at Christians who are still loyal to this evil government.

oziamaka:
we are taking about lives here.one stupid fellow is comparing the number of killings to previous administration. where is the security of lives and properties as promised by this administration? incompetency is the hallmark of this govt.

Don't mind him. He is a Jihadist.

SarkinYarki:
OP are you a clown or you are just plain naive? Buhari act against the killings ? Nigerians who do una this thing abeg ..so you actually believe Buhari is doesnt know what's happening ...OP let me help you out Buhari is the engine room and master mind if the killings if you don't know and the only opportunity to kick him out was the 2023 election and we easily allowed to him to rig his way in so I am sorry to inform you that except something divine happens the killings are now here to stay till the north and Middle belt is completely Islamized

I know he knows. That's why we have to put him under pressure to do something about it or be kicked out. He must be summoned before the international criminal laws. Otherwise, if people take laws into their hands, Nigeria will be thrown into another war which will not be too good for us. I must say that PDP is a very weak opposition. We should not allow this to continue. Otherwise, you could be the next victim.
