Elections are won by electorates but we have failed to understand that which is understandable probably the obvious rigging which happen in some few places... Nigerians have always been united when it comes to choosing candidates for the office of president, this fact also we have refused to acknowledge. Now let's see some examples.
Now Obasanjo a Southerner won the election and was heavily voted for by the Northerners right?
Also, Jonathan was also voted for and was elected in 2011, now tell me if he only won the election by votes from the South?
NB: in all these elections, Buhari a core northerner was also in contention but never got the chance even with the love support from the North?
My opinion on the 2015 election which brought in Buhari, Nigerians were not happy with the way Jonathan and his party run the affairs of the government and in turn, voted him out during the elections. Now Buhari didn't just win by votes from the North even though majority of the votes came in from there. The Southerners in their numbers voted him because of the believe that he will be the 'messiah' .

In conclusion, now the election is around the corner and again another candidate has been endorsed by Nigerians again (OBIDATTI) which many think is just an online frenzy but 2023 shall tell. Noise makers like Reno omockery will be shamed. BBN which use to be the darling program for our youths have been relegated into almost a non existence program because of the current movement for a better Nigeria.
Now to my darling desperate urchins and to*uts Pls bring the vaulence in the comment section cos I have comrades who are ever ready...
One thing is certain, we are united in our choice and this election will prove that unity is much more profound than tribalism and ethnicity.

Parochial opinion.

[quote author=naijaclass post=116773458]In Christian hamartiology, eternal sins, unforgivable sins, unpardonable sins, or ultimate sins are sins which will not be forgiven by God. One eternal or unforgivable sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit), also known as the sin unto death, is specified in several passages of the Synoptic Gospels, including Mark 3:28–29, Matthew 12:31–32, and Luke 12:10, as well as other New Testament passages including Hebrews 6:4–6, Hebrews 10:26–31, and 1 John 5:16.



That pronouncement was made on Pharisees because they tried to deny Jesus ministry was from Holy Spirit in order to discourage people from believing. If we apply the age long principle of God: To whom much is given, to whom much is expected" to this scenario, we can see that Pharisees were special sect in Israel those days who are supposed to know more than ordinary Judaist of those days, you can probably liken them to our today's GOs. They are privy to prophets books of prophecies, revelation and understanding. They knew very well Jesus was from God, but because of ego, envy and greed, always jumped at opportunity to malign His reputation. On that very occasion, they alleged he was casting out demons by Balsebub, Prince of demons. This is to show us they have deep understanding of spiritual order and modus operandi. Yet they denied it delebrately obstructing Holy Spirit. Such sins and blasphemy usually attracts instant judgement or death.
It's like a man in the level God's general like Moses trying to fight God. This is the very sin committed by the Devil himself.
Summary.
1.Sin and blasphemy against Holy Spirit depends on your revelational knowledge of God.
2. What constitute sin against the Holy Spirit to one may not apply to another based on their relationship with God

Jesus came and told us God is our father who is the heaven. So what is so special with my father having a break fast with me?

Jesus, at this point we need deliverance.

Let them all bring their money. It's good to even get a contract, yet the result remain the same. The people are fed up. APC, PDP no no.

Buhari left more than 10 local government in Kastina under control of Bandits to come be defender of the universe in Imo state. What a love!

FreeStuffsNG:
smh at you and OP. Leave this idle life on social media and study. A lot is going on in that space so much that if you had just been diligent enough to study and not lament as usual, you will feel proud about this great nation.
Building a palm plantation takes years but once it hits production you then start seeing it. While you lament here, almost on a monthly basis since this current govt came on board, new palm plantations and palm oil refinery are being set up and doing backward integration. Such companies are on the stock exchange and I know at least 3 companies on the exchange that invested billions in a palm plantations but yet to hit production.
In fact, from much already going on in that space, other savvy investors are moving to other cash crops like cashew which is one of the highest export now and Julius Berger has started buying up unshelled cashew nuts to process into nuts and export.
Just stop wasting your time and life on the social media, a lot is going on so find out and key in so you can quit this lamentation.

Social media is the best place to know if such things are going on. Every multinationals has pages on it. Those companies who invested in it would need to market it to the world someday and social media provides such platform, if a lot is going on and social media doesn't know, maybe it is for domestic consumption. Anyway I am aware of many private investment in that direction and a part of some in a little way but the role of government in providing enabling environment is what would to a large extent determine the outcome, just like Malaysia that the OP cited.

Malaysia exports $13.31 billion worth of palm oil in eight months -- News Report

Me:

One of the areas I give importance to is raising awareness among Nigerians on the necessity of developing the comatose and archaic Agricultural sector.

From the above report Malaysia exports $13.31 billion worth of palm oil in eight months. This is close to what Nigeria earns from Crude Oil sales in the same period.

It is important to note that Palm Oil originates from West Africa where it grows in the wild and later was developed into an Agricultural crop. Sadly, today Indonesia is the world largest producer of Palm Oil closely followed by Malaysia.

Indonesia and Malaysia are by far the largest palm oil producing nations. Together they account for 85-90 percent of the total production of this vegetable oil. Other important producing countries are Colombia, Nigeria and Thailand.

Correction:

There is this fraudulent rumor that the late Premier of the Northern region, Sardauna of Sokoto, took Palm Oil seedlings to Malaysia. This is not true. Palm Oil was introduced to Malaysia, then Malaya, by the British in early 1870's as an ornamental plant.

Conclusion:

Nigeria and by extension West Africa should wakeup and double Palm Oil production in the region. While other nations of the world are making progress and advancing, we are moving backwards with underdevelopment. Unfortunately, this is our sad reality...

#ElbinawiTweets

Because government are clean men who don't have time for dirty work such as weeding, clearing, cutting, I mean they want something quick-quick like just did the ground scoop it up voila money is here!

MyVILLAGEpeople:
You can hire DSS personnel’s as a wealthy Nigerian. The likes of Jowi zaza, E money and lots of other wealthy folks move with DSS personnel’s including mopols. Just get money for this country. I mean enough money and see protocols broken for you.

That's why they say everything is for sale in Nigeria.

Worried either by Semi-illiteracy or stomach infrastructures.

Kobojunkie:
1. You don't make sense at all with this assertion, I hope you understand that. That Paul's vision of Jesus Christ took place does not change what Jesus Christ declared regarding the dead. That the Spirit of God came down from Heaven after Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven also does not change the declarations made. I am not certain why you are confusing both cases in the way that you do.

2. One rule is never get carried away by the contents of what is a parable....instead look out for and pay attention to the lesson which is typically at the end of the story or like the many false teachers and false prophets out there, you end up chasing the meaningless.

Jesus Christ explained using the character of Abraham that since the people have all been given the Law by which they will all be judged, none will be sent back from the dead to watch the living living addition. If that declaration means absolutely nothing to you, then it means you don't believe God's Law is the eternal/unchangeable Truth that God and Jesus Christ said it is- Matthew 5 vs 17 - 19

3. This again makes no sense to me.

Matthew 5:17-19 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

What happened in the case of Lazarus and the rich man was not a declaration neither is it a law. It was an instance of destination of man after his sojourn on Earth. That is the subject matter of that story and the focus. The focus was not on declaration of law on modus operandi of sending message from heaven to Earth. These are two separate entities. What you are deducing from the story is just inferences and insinuation.
From the days of the old testament it had been God's prerogative to decide on the method of passing information to his people. From time Abraham, prophets, judges, Kings, priest, till the time of the Lord and Holy Spirit. This is the main reason while Jesus made it clear to Peter when he wanted to know what will happen to John the beloved. He made it known that it was His prerogative.
It will amount to fallacy of hasty generalization for you to use an instance of an event in the scripture as a declaration of law or doctrine. Ney!
The same God who raised the dead, talked through a donkey, send fish on errands, rebuke the wind can do whatever pleases Him. Do away with all teaching you have had on story of Lazarus and the rich man, go over and study it again and meditate after on it

Kobojunkie:
The Parable of Lazarus and the Rich man in Luke 16 vs 19 - 31

As I have said in my earlier comment, if that were general rule Jesus would not break it by coming in the Spirit to convert Saul to Paul. The rich man made that request because it thought it would help his kinsmen to easily believe, but the All knowing God said it would not, but in the case of Paul God knew the heart of Paul that it would take a divine encounter to reveal the truth to him. Jesus chose John for Revelation and set him aside from being a martyre for the cross like other Apostles, Jesus is still in the same business today. Heb13:8 God bless you.

Kobojunkie:
1. It doesn't matter what one's experience in this world is. What matters above everything else is the Truth as stated by God Himself, and told us through His prophets.

2. Wrong! Heaven and Hell will not be open to admission until after Jesus Christ returns and then Judges the world - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46. What this means is that only visions of Heaven and Hell are available to us. Now, it makes no sense for a dead person to have a vision of Heaven or Hell... the person is supposed to be dead as a door knob. A vision of Heaven or Hell seen by someone who is alive is one thing, a vision to someone who is supposed to be dead is something entirely different.

3. As Jesus Christ warned, there will be no one sent back from the dead to warn the living. Delusions are just that... delusions.

Please the Bible reference of such warning in no. 3.

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ appeared to Paul, according to the story. He didn't return from heaven like those who claim to have returned from the dead to warn you of the other side.

2. As for the claim that life after death has been confirmed, well, most of the stories claimed do not conform that revealed in scripture in any way or form. For instance, according to scripture, those who die as unbelievers cease to exist in their graves, whereas those who were born-again in this life, sleep in their graves after their death. So?

3. Careers can be built on delusions/lies. Your many pastors and mogs more than revealed that one can amass wealth even by that, without needing to task oneself in this life.

4. The knowledge you need is that which is written so you can spot the lies wherever they may lie.

You
Argument of people building pastoral career on lies is not similar to unbelievers who were experts in medical and science based field, who were doing very well in their field like Apostle Paul but staked everything because of testimony of their experience. They didn't built church afterwards. That's why I used cases in developed world. Many of them were on top of there career and after the experience did not become billionaires because of their testimonies.
If God can reveal heavens to people who are not yet dead its a lot easier to do so to those who are proclaimed dead. Then mind you many of them were not naturally dead but clinically dead, for few hour or fell into coma.
There was a case of a Nigerian dead four seven days by the nicknamed Lazarus. You can look it up. It happened in Lasuth here in Lagos.
Finally, in the case you cited about Lazarus and the rich in the Bible, Jesus did not issue a general statement. The rich requested somebody in a spirit form to go and warn his brothers, but his request was not granted, and it ends there. If that were a general policy Jesus wouldn't have gone in the spirit to covert Paul.

Kobojunkie:
Stop allowing men to deceive you with what are lies about Heaven and Hell. Jesus Christ made it clear that no one will be sent back from the dead to warn the living, and no one will be granted entry into Heaven or Hell until after Jesus Christ returns, so where these people claim to go when they die isn't of Truth.

But Jesus came from heaven to convert Saul to Paul. Also phenomenon of after life has been confirmed by mordern science. Evidences were given by non believer top doctors and scientist. In that post that man was a non-believer top pilot in us. Are you say telling lies about hevean experience is more lurative than a career in aviation and medicine in US? Please let us add knowledge to faith.

zaki2:
You guys have already made it a tribal war. You have branded Obi different tribal names, from IPOB, Pandora, Obituary anything that will make Obi look more Igbo than Nigerian. Anyway, 2023 will come and go, if we can survive Buhari, na who we no go fit survive.

With his level of maturity if anybody is doing anything against Igbos, it's definitely coming from Tinubu's loyalist and that is understandable and it's not a general opinion. He lived all his life in Lagos and built his career there, if Yorubas were bad would he have been able to do so. All he had achieved in Lagos here, having a bustop named in his name, can he achieve it in Kano? At his age he is not expected to be an ingrate, with due respect.

God is not the old man with white long beards sitting on the throne.
That is the artistic representation of God by mankind
God is the source of all energy
Everything that contains energy is part of God
You

Nigerian christians and muslims should embrace the religion of their fore-fathers not the white mans foreign religion
In conclusion I leave you with a quote by max muller "He who knows only one religion knows none

That advice may be ok for those who are worshipping religion, given to by their parents, family, friend and society. For those who have had personal encounter with God and have established relationship with him, it is just a mere speculation.
The True God revealed himself by calling people to leave their family religion. Starting from Abraham. There is no other unique model there after except the ones that are copying it. That is to know that the true God doesn't belong to anybody's family, He is not a respecter of people's tribe and tongue, He is a God of all.

Felimax:
Perhaps the same change APC promised that took us to where we are today.

Obi has said so many things but has not been able to tell how he will solve our national issues.

If you don't have anything tangible to say just getat.

That info is for those in the categories mentioned, others can vote their choice.

I address this to all victims of Nigeria in the following categories:

1.Terrorist victms and their loved ones.
2.Kidnapped victims and their loved ones
3.Self determination agitators
4.Lecturers strike victims
5.Police and Law enforcement agents brutality victims.
6.Restructuring agitators
7. Killer Herdsmen victims
8.Nepa victims
9. Diesel victims.
8. Unemployed youths.
9. Battered ecomic victims.
10. 1DP camp residents.
You know why, not because Obi is a saint or miracle worker, but we shall get a better platform to PROTEST

This is an unfortunate statement coming from a senior citizen like him. How long will it take SE folks to know how to play politics. The golden opportunity to produce the next president has been thrown to them, yet they are out to burst with their unguarded utterances. If the SW decides for Obi, nobody can stop him, but the way some SE folks are making look like it's a tribal war isn't helping their case at all. The same mistake Ojuku made in 1966, many generation after keeps repeating.

We need a short term systemic approach to address Inflation . We need to first settle security like he said but in addition next to that should be food security. The best approach to combat inflation is from supply side. Many shy away from this approach because the think it is a long term process. But agriculture comes to our rescue on this because: 1. It is a common need. 2. It's involves a short term process 3. We have comparative advantage in it. 4. The technology involved is not too complex unlike power or other sectors. If Obi gets in he should get accross he has no problem. We are here for him.

Even if Obi didn't do any project, he is eminiently qualified on the basis of EQUITY. If Nigeria must survive Obi should be the next president else, note it down, it's the beginning of the end of one Nigeria.

Do you agree that U.S should keep the money till the next government comes?

If indeed US are not behind our predicament, they must hold on to that money and hand over to Obi to start off.
