surdik: Well a thief would certainly feel comfortable in the mist of another thief...

Yeah, no wonder Fashola is so relaxed with Oga Tinubu by his side!
[quote author=Rhino.5dm]In other words, George Akume is a crook, Doyin Okupe is a crook which makes GEJ a crook? [/quote]Obviously, you're too lame to grasp the import of his question. How's someone's with a criminal case on his neck and the minority leader of a leading opposition partys word to be trusted? if you were a judge would you admit his testimony in your court? Not holding brief here for anyone as I believe Mr Okupe should come out and clear the air but its only fair that a testimony from George Akume is taken with a pinch of salt. I honestly don't know what these baboons are chattering over.

[quote author=Ki-Katanga]Why do you follow him?[/quote]I'm not sure about your definition of a "follower" but if that means not speaking against him like you guys then its because he preaches Christ, Love and Forgiveness. Why should I hate a man for doing so? Can you fault his doctrine?

[quote author=Ki-Katanga]Sadly while millions can't see through it, it's millions of the same type of people. If you asked the average educated Christian anywhere in the world, they'd dismiss him out of hand. It is a specific type of African Christianity heavily influenced by Southern American Evangelism which reveres the preacher over the word and which is taught never to look at either the world or specifically religion critically that are convinced by vague proclamations which can later be correlated to independent events.

That said in a similar but distinct community in America, there is a man named John Edward who does something similar without a bible -- ironically most African Christians would immediately see through this, but millions in America are naïvely or wilfully deceived by him too.

Deep down, people believe because they want to.

http://johnedward.net/[/quote]Listen and listen good. Most folks who follow TB Joshua do not do so cos he made a prophecy about some shootings in Colorado or the death of a president or the pushing forward of an election even when it was constitutionally impossible but because they've got personal testimonies to share and have witnessed the manifestation of Gods power beyond foretelling events.

PhysicsQED: I'm not religious, but I'm not against belief in God or a higher power.

And you don't see that as too much of a paradox? How can you not be religious but believe in some higher power you don't really know? How do you mange it? Do you consider the term "agnostic" an unpleasant one? That one word wouldve spared you the embarrassment of defining yourself as someone that doesn't really know what to believe!
Maybe fiding out about the early life of TB Joshua would help you understand just how much attention the man has been seeking, BTW he preaches Christ and Salvation - yes I'm a Christian.

^ You don't have to be evasive. I only asked you what u thought was fuelling the deception since you could see through it very easily. I'm curious, what's your religious inclination?

^ Use your head, I know you're among the lucky ones to have a functional one all I'm asking is that you put it to use. What do you think is fuelling this TB Joshua "deception" that is obvious to PhysicsQED but millions the world over including Presidents of nations can't see? If you're as smart as you think, you've got an opportunity to win someone over and the first step I assure you isn't pointing me to some poorly researched Sahara Reports based articles.

That the best you could do? Was this how you got to know so much about the ancient Benin Empire - by reading two random articles from foreign news sources?

asha 80: wesley 80 this head of electricity workers ajaero just called for the resignation of nnaji.what do you think?

Funny enough, I have huge sympathy for Mr Ajaero not because of his industrial activism but because of his overall stance on the privatization of the Power Sector. I do not believe the only way power can work in Nigeria is through privatization and Mr Ajaero shares same opinion and his grouse stems from the fact that the sector is about to be sold out just when govt has gotten serious with turning the sector around and all the credit for the turnaround in the sector would be deceptively given to Privatization, that would be a travesty but its exactly where we're headed.
I've read quite a number of writeups by Mr Ajaero and he's obviously a very intelligent fellow that knows what he's fighting for and I consider him a Patriot much more than I consider Mr Nnaji. However, the battle he's fighting is a lost one, Nigerians want Power and how we get it is no issue and unfortunately, anyone fighting for the PHCN is viewed as an enemy of our collective progress hence Mr Ajaero is seemingly locked in a battle not just with the govt but with the people in who's interest his activism is hinged.
I don't know on what grounds he's calling for Mr Nnaji's resignation but take it from me even though Mr Ajaero looks like an enemy of progress right now, I assure you he'll be vindicated in the near future.

CyberG: Kindly stay on topic...and not distract with semantics. It is quite interchangeable but let's get some views on this topic.

I'm sure there's a provision for "modify" on your first post isn't there? If your intention is honest why don't you correct your initial error(?) into what most will deem acceptable? You more than anyone knows "Ibo" is viewed as a slight in this forum.

Every single MW is worth celebrating now.

Power generation has attained a new high - hitting 4,477.7 megawatts - the highest ever generated in the country. Out of the volume, 170MW is being kept as reserve. The new peak exceeds the record level of 4,237MW achieved on August 6 by 240.7MW. The spokesman of the Minister of Power, Ogbuagu Anikwe, in a statement quoted the Minister of Power, Prof Barth Nnaji, as saying: “The good news is that every power generated is wheeled comfortably. In August, 2010, when Nigeria generated for the first time 3,800MW, the system collapsed within a few minutes because the transmission infrastructure was poorly maintained.” Commenting on the new generation level, the former PHCN executive director and former chief executive officer of the Egbin Power Station in Lagos, Mr Simeon Atakulu, said:[b] “It is significant that the new record in generation has been set even with the 1,320MW Egbin plant, the nation’s biggest power generator, doing only 600MW because it is undergoing routine maintenance. This means we have a spare power capacity of over 300MW.” [/b]It is understood that the new output increase came from the 600MW Shiroro Hydro Station in Niger State, which ironically a section of the media falsely reported at the weekend to have been shut by a group of junior workers over controversial pension claims. The Power Minister said the Nigerian Gas Company, a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), has been increasing gas supply to power stations in accordance with the directive of President Goodluck Jonathan and Petroleum Resources Minister Diezani Alison- Madueke. He added that the quantum of power available to Nigerians would increase further before the month runs out. Giving a breakdown of how the government would further increase generation, Nnaji stated that one unit of 112.5MW at the Omotosho plant of the National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) in Ondo State would start to run this month and noted that he would soon travel to Ughelli in Delta State in preparation for the addition of 200MW from the Delta Power Plant later this month. One unit of 112.5MW will be inaugurated next month at the NIPP plant at Ihonvbe on the outskirts of Benin, Edo State, with another unit of the same capacity scheduled to start power supply in October. The same month, one unit of 112.5MW of the second phase of the Geregu plant in Kogi State will be inaugurated, he added. While praising the staff of agencies under the Ministry of Power for their hard work, commitment and patriotism in challenging circumstances, which many Nigerians may not appreciate, Nnaji asked them not to rest on their oars, adding that power development still has a long way to go in the country.

FRESH AIR

cap28: exactly and due to the deplorable state of the schools and universities in nigeria, the average nigerian will only continue to wallow deeper and deeper in ignorance , this is why Goodluck and PDP will remain in office for as long as the west decides to keep them there.

Why don't you shut your trap for a sec and stop whining like an unpaid ho? All you do is plod around from thread to thread peddling ridiculous conspiracy theories like someone with a negative IQ and you have guts to point fingers at peoples education? Haba mallam!

Hmmm, Dayomumu. You no dey tire? We know say you be imbeh must you rub it on our faces?

Is that your pic on your profile? You be pensioneer?

PhysicsQED: Dude, this guy benefits financially from the services he provides, some of which are based on fraudulence, while STILL churning out prophecies of doom.

So brilliant but yet so daft, such striking paradox, willful ignorance I'd presume. How is it that you'd choose to spend months researching ancient and extinct cultures diligently and glory in regaling us with your undoubted knowledge even when not requested but yet maligning an individual out of sheer and unbelievable ignorance doesn't prick your conscience? I used to believe the quest and hunger for knowledge transcends subject but then I met you!
Why don't you dedicate just a fraction of the time you'd spend studying some obscure Southern gypsy tribe no one really cares about into finding out something concrete about this fellow that would qualify him to be badgered by your likes in every thread? Just one I ask, surely I haven't asked for too much have I?

[quote author=Ki-Katanga]I have to say this because this scares me: TB Joshua is a lying bullshit merchant, and even if you believe the word of Christ you do yourself no favours by accepting the words of this fraud.[/quote]Reason? You can't just deep your hand into your behind and shout "Eureka", what have you got? let me guess, poo?

Where's Freecocoa to tell us "its no big deal"?
In fairness to some Nigerian girls, some actually can and they have.

Hundreds of guests at a church wedding on Saturday witnessed the triumph of love over materialpossession and other considerations when a university graduate, Grace Ibrahim, was joined in holy matrimony with her hearttrob, a physically challenged man. P.M.NEWS learnt that the groom, Aruna, became paralysed on bothlegs when an injection was administered on him at a tender age. Aruna and Grace on their wedding day. Grace, a teacher from Kogi State, Northcentral Nigeria, has a master’s degree in Chemistry while Aruna, an indigene of Auchi, Edo State in the Southsouth, also has a master’s degree in Statistics. Both of themstudied at the University of Lagos. Speaking during the wedding, the General Overseer of Renewed Christian Assembly, Egan on the outskirts of Lagos, Rev. Dr. Julius Ladeji, noted that the wedding was unique and significant because it shows love could triumph over other considerations, adding that love still exists in the society. Explaining why she fell in love with Aruna, Grace said among all the men that approached her for courtship, Aruna met all the qualities she was looking for in the man of her dreams. She added: “He is lovely, trustworthy and knows how to treat a woman.” She said that she met Aruna at Unilag where she went for her master’s programme. She said by providence, Aruna also came for his master’s degree. She said they became friends andshe had initial challenge because she thought it was a joke when he proposed to her. “I started praying when he persisted and I contacted my pastor who prayed and confirmed it,” Grace disclosed. According to her, she had difficulties introducing him to her family until after several days of prayers when she summoned the courage and did so. She said with prayers and God ontheir side, she introduced him to her family and they accepted him. Aruna, who claimed to be ladies’ man, said when Grace came into his life as a friend, he had the burning desire to settle with her as partner. He said he was sure she had the same desire and with prayers, God confirmed it. He said that he has since overcome the challenge of not moving freely and has set out to achieve progress in life just like every other man. Aruna said that it was the drive that made him to go back for his masters programme at Unilag. He described Grace as his friend, companion and wife who understands him better. On how he will cope with the marital vow, he said was equal to the task. He said when P.M.NEWS reporter visit the family after nine months, his wife would have delivered a baby. Grace’s family head, Amos Ibrahim, confessed that he did not support the idea at the initialstage, but gave his blessing when she introduced Aruna to the family. “He is intelligent, sound and handsome. The family gave our support,” he said. Aruna’s eldest brother, Oshio Aruna expressed gratitude to God. He said that Haruna has been a source of motivation to the family. “We are inspired by his achievements in life despite his challenge. “I knew he will marry one day and it has come to pass today,” he said.

PhysicsQED: ^^^

lol, a man is acting as a prophet of doom and you're defending him because?

This is the exact problem I was trying to point out - you don't know sheet about what you're criticizing. He churns out dozens of prophecies each service to individuals and restores hope to hundreds of ordinary people that were hitherto hopeless and you criticize him over a single prophecy that made NL's headline? Lay your pride aside and choose to be informed.

GAR3TH: From what I remember reading OBJ was the one who commissioned the project and I also read that NIPP reached 75% completion during Yar'Adua's administration. During the present and past administrations the power plants was and still are under construction. But according to you, we should give GEJ all the credit even though he had nothing to do with the NIPP expect for being the one in office when it will be completed? That like the final runner in a relay race getting all the credit for finishing even though his teammates also ran with with the baton in the race.

My point is you and a few other people on Nairaland give GEJ waaaay to much credit. You also denounce and repudiate the positive things past administrations and opposition parties did. GEJ has projects of his own but not everything completed or commissioned by GEJ is made by him.

How long does it take to build and fire a gas plant? Start counting from 1999, we are now in 2012 that makes how many years? How do you cite power plants without making any provision for gas to fire the plants or an adequate grid to distribute generated power? isn't that like running an olympic relay race without a baton? Now who has solved all that and is refusing to be dragged back by poor planning and the rest excuses? Open your mouth and repeat after me; Geeeeeeee Eeeeeeee Jayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

jude33084: Is τ̲̣̣̥н̣̣̣̝̇̇̇ε̲̣̣̣̥ power not meant for τ̲̣̣̥н̣̣̣̝̇̇̇ε̲̣̣̣̥ entire country? Where was it concentrated in SS, SW ΆŋԂ SE?

Is it safe Ť☺ do Ŧħåϯ?

Na your Papa go pay to run a gas pipe from here to Kaduna?

solomon111: Why wasn't he able to complete the project under his eight years in power,and billions of dollars spent.

Help me ask her. If Obj had been smart enough to formulate a comprehensive roadmap like GEJ has done, would we be crying over inadequate gas 12years later? Some of these criticis are just impossible!

Thisday fall my hand sha.

PhysicsQED: Are you a follower of TB Joshua or something? Just wondering.

Wouldn't describe myself as a "follower" but I do catch his programmes often times on air and I watch with interest - I think you should also, at least then you can find a first hand reason to say the uncharitable things you've said about his person instead of the usual "dem say dem say" that fuels your ignorant criticisms. Not like I blame you though - used to be there myself!

onatisi: this is a real man of God giving the message of hope and joy to people not like another that has turned his church to a campign office and pulpit to a campaign podium

And who made you a judge of "men of God"?

PhysicsQED: The exact same thing can be said about Nigerians.

We wouldn't be humans if it weren't so would we?

^ Yeah, seen it.

@^^ How do you adjudge him being "highly intelligent" chap? Everyday is for the thief but someday he/she will be exposed. He's Indian by birth so nothing surprises me-" the End justifies the means". That is their inherent philosophy to life and to everything else. Corruption is never far from their backyard. It can be attributed to some character flaw if we look at it holistically - his roots . I am not easily impressed by some pseudo-intellectual American wannabe Indian. He is certainly not the first nor the last. There is more in the pipe line from where he comes from. Academic qualifications for them is the easiest path/pary to get into the "act" just like Nigerians excelling in academia too(qualifications) without originality/creativity either.

There are many things Fareed is but one of them is certainly not "unintelligent". That he's got lots of enemies and folks that believe his overrated (as you should expect someone that receives $75,000 to give a talk to have) isn't news but you do not make it as far as he's done by being a "pseudo-intellectual". Unfortunately, he's got a not-too-pleasant history which might lend some credence to your argument as this isn't the first time he's been accused see link;
www.huffingtonpost.com/blackberry/p.html?id=1765903
But what you must realize is that people don't tune in to watch his programmes cos he's got a Phd from Havard but because he delivers and analyses the news better than most while managing to criticize govts in a most pleasant and constructive manner that leaves you nodding in agreement. Like noted in the link above, there are a number of excuses he could have given that would be considered tenable but he hasn't done so, rather he's chosen to accept full responsibility and take the fall. I hope he bounces back soon.

Jarus: It was moved to the right section, Foreign Affairs.

It's a nice, informative thread. I have already forwarded it to homepaging authorities to give it hp exposure.

Was about directing and "politics-izing" the topic by highlighting similarities and dissimilarities between his case and Sanusi's plagiarism case but before I could make the follow up post, my thread was gone! Anyway, I looked through the Foreign Affairs section and saw an earlier post on same subject by PhysicsQED, maybe his should get the publicity if any.

^ Speak of clutching straws!
