Atiku should remember that Wike is waiting for him

bjdon:
The North are loading.
The only question is if PO wil do deal to run as Atiku's VP. I know many people will object to this, but if you put sentiments aside, it's the only game in town in 2027. No prominant northerner will run as PO's running mate, and only an alliance of the North and SE can unseat Tinubu.

How do you then think a prominent southerner will run as Atiku's running mate? Superiority mentality of the north over south must stop this time around. We have alot of Wike in the south in case you don't know.

People told d boy to date d man’s daughter so he won’t kill him, it’s common sense


Kudirat has been killed n d son is d next target so they told him to date d girl so that will hold ibb hand from killing him

Senior Special Adviser we hear you

Even his fellow governors could not go to airport to receive the remain of their former member. Only the family members were not representatives. Never you joke with your family.

[You can only convince people who don't read their bible with unscriptural quotes, not when it was written that biblical feasts and days of worshipping God will be changed by the beast to deceive and win souls. Just like Jesus told Satan that "it's written" , I'm here telling you that those adopted dates were not adopted by accident rather it was a calculated attempts to silence God's tradition. quote author=Fasindo post=127620667]

On the argument that Christmas is a Pagan feast

Another Christmas, and the recycled argument continues on how 25th December is a pagan feast, and how Christ was not born on the 25th.

Some things don’t go well with me, arguments like this that don’t make any logical sense.

Let us agree that Jesus was not born on the 25th, can you kindly suggest to us a new date? And since you know he was not born on the 25th, it therefore means you know or have an idea of the date he was born. Tell us then.

I heard this same argument for Sunday. They said Sunday is a day of worship of the pagan Sun-god and that the meaning of Sunday came from the Sun-god.

I remembered sharing a detailed teaching and telling those propagating that message the reason for Sunday, being that it was the first day of the week, and Christ rose that day and started appearing to his disciples every first day of the week as they gathered behind closed doors in prayers.

I think I should not have wasted my time in doing that, what I should have done would have been to simply remind them that the days of the week as we have them today were all adopted. They are all pagan.

Monday is named after the god of the moon. Thursday is for the Norse god known in Modern English as Thor. Friday is named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Fríge. Saturday is named after the Roman god Saturn.

There is this impression from some of you that once anything has a pagan origin it is evil and it is impossible for it to be 'Christianized.'

Well, unfortunately, many things came from the pagans, including the papyrus that was used to write the bible in those days. The tradition of offering visitors kolanut in Igbo culture is largely pagan. Even Baptism as we know it today as the pouring of water or immersion in rivers did not start with Christians. Eating pork is pagan. New yam festival is pagan. Ojuju Calabar is pagan.

What some of you fail to see is that the Christian faith must be planted in a culture for it to take root. Even St Paul while preaching to the Areopagus in Act 17:16-34 had to use what the Athens have as an altar to the "unknown god", to plant the message of the living and known God into them.

Once the Christian faith is planted in any culture, it uproots the bad in it and retains the good. This is why once you mention "Sunday" we think about the day of worship in church and not sun-god. This is why 25th December may not be the day Christ was born in your calculation, but it has taken a Christian dimension pushing aside whatever it was known with before. This is why the cross, which was pagan, and seen as a symbol of shame, has now taken a total different meaning the moment Christ was crucified on it.

The pagan cross moved from shame to fame, from gory to glory (let me be looking for rhyme words like a motivational speaker since na watin una wan hear. Nobody should stress me biko.)

Quit this mentality

The world has changed, we not living in the cave age any longer.
Do not wait for anyone to greet you, whether you’re elder or younger.

If it that important to you, go ahead and greet the person first, whether he or she replies or not, hold no grudges and move ahead.


People are going through so much and lots of problems in their head. Whether you greet me or not, will not add or remove from my bank acct or net worth.

The world is changing to the direction we choosed. Greeting is our culture and a sign of respect. It has nothing to do with the amount of problem you're dealing with. How come only Africans especially Nigerians are abandoning our identities? Greetings attracts favour, safety, correction, admiration etc to children. My opinion anyway.

Compare him with players from other nations or continent not with his elder brother

Hope election matter is not affecting governance?

We need prudent spending considering the economic situation of the country. Such unproductive spending will not do us any good .
