I think you miss the point. He didn't say northerners should not vote for southerners. He said northerners should not vote for PDP irrespective of their tribe. Its just like when Oshomole said southerners should not vote for Jonathan led PDP last month. The deputy governor is in APC and do you want him to say all northerners to vote for pdp.

Mr, maybe you missed my point. Bringing a tribal tone to the already heated political environment is unwarranted! He needs tell no one who to vote or not vote for. Are the notherners blind that they can't see or deaf they can't hear?? The voting excercise is a freedom of right that shouldn't be influenced by another. Vote who you know is the best. Simple!

barcanista:
Northerner shouldn't vote for PDP because Jonathan has failed them

Who is a northerner? How can one use such a general lose term to make such a statement ? Do we not have notherners in the south, east and west of the country? Can the deputy governor claim for a fact that the life of people from the north have not been changed or impacted by the favorable policies of the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan regime??

This man is a disgrace! These are the kind of statements that are heating up the politics in Nigeria. This statement Has a strong tribal tone to it, it's divisional, it implies segregation, it's unpatriotic and its highly uncalled for. Who is he to speak on or for all notherners? What right either moral or constitutional does he have to influence the voting decision of notherners?
These APC politicians are too desperate and would do anything, even 'killing the president' to take power by all means. Nigerians see your proposed 'future leaders' from the APC, if it's not blood it's kill or chaos!! Always looking for dubious means to incite the popullace to violence. *spits*

Weldone Sir! We are solidly behind you in securing Aso villa come 2015. Sir, be rest assured you are our president come February 2015! We love you, God bless you, God bless Nigeria. GEJ till opposition get sense.

@op your one in a billion people on planet earth. That's like a drop of water to the sea, a particle of durst to the sand, a leaf to the forest, a candle to a burning bush etc.. You and your imaginary decamping don't mean nothing to GEJ being reelected come 2015! Now go play somewhere else, politics must be new to you.

It's a shame this woman has allowed herself to be used by disgruntled politicians against the person of GEJ. If others were issued their forms respectively, what's stops her from getting hers? It's not like she's a better candidate to GEJ, so what's all the fuss about? Distraction comes in different ways and this is no different from the tactics of opposition to stop GEJ from making the polls! Shame on instigators looking to bring GEJ down. GEJ till opposition get sense!

What will a christian brothers say about this:
(Judges 21:10-24 NLT)
So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-
gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including
women and children. "This is what you are to do,"
they said. "Completely destroy all the males and
every woman who is not a virgin." Among the
residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four
hundred young virgins who had never slept with a
man, and they brought them to the camp at
Shiloh in the land of Canaan.
The Israelite assembly sent a peace delegation to
the little remnant of Benjamin who were living at
the rock of Rimmon. Then the men of Benjamin
returned to their homes, and the four hundred
women of Jabesh-gilead who were spared were
given to them as wives. But there were not
enough women for all of them. The people felt
sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had left this
gap in the tribes of Israel. So the Israelite leaders
asked, "How can we find wives for the few who
remain, since all the women of the tribe of
Benjamin are dead? There must be heirs for the
survivors so that an entire tribe of Israel will not
be lost forever. But we cannot give them our own
daughters in marriage because we have sworn
with a solemn oath that anyone who does this
will fall under God's curse."
Then they thought of the annual festival of the
LORD held in Shiloh, between Lebonah and
Bethel, along the east side of the road that goes
from Bethel to Shechem. They told the men of
Benjamin who still needed wives, "Go and hide in
the vineyards. When the women of Shiloh come
out for their dances, rush out from the vineyards,
and each of you can take one of them home to be
your wife! And when their fathers and brothers
come to us in protest, we will tell them, 'Please
be understanding. Let them have your daughters,
for we didn't find enough wives for them when we
destroyed Jabesh-gilead. And you are not guilty
of breaking the vow since you did not give your
daughters in marriage to them.'" So the men of
Benjamin did as they were told. They kidnapped
the women who took part in the celebration and
carried them off to the land of their own
inheritance. Then they rebuilt their towns and
lived in them. So the assembly of Israel departed
by tribes and families, and they returned to their
own homes.
O

Your quick to quote the bible without critically looking at the period in which these events took place, the people that engaged in them and what belief they held at the time.

So I ask, where they any Christians as at the time this events in the Old Testament took place? Your answer would help you a long way.

Seems the new job of the law breakers are to be calling for impeachment . Last week it was GEJ, this week is abba, wonder who is up for next Week! Clowns

I think getting nigeria signed into the OIC was unnecessary and only done for selfish and religious reasons not only to IBB who according to the write up, took this desicision single handily but also for the OIC itself.
This single unwarranted step (signing nigeria into OIC) put the christain folks on the edge, making them feel uneasy which made Isreal for its own selfish reason, extend a hand of balance by signing a treaty with the nigerian state in regards to the unequal treatment by the then government to Christians.

This for me is the beginning and birth of religious intolerance in Nigeria. Forget the talk of other african states like Cameroon et al were members bla bla bla.. The nigerian sate is perculiar to its own laws, people and principles. The aims and objectives of this OIC is enough to irk any sensible christain, why do such if not a party to what they seek to achieve. Little wonders MURIC was 'crying fowl' when they saw an acclaimed 'star of David' on the new 100 note.
There is just so much religious intorelance in the nigerian state, emanating from the Islamic folks. For years the Christians had been torrelant even when they have had their livelihood, homes and properties raised to durst in the north by boko and other uprising, the after election killing mostly southern christain corpers in 2011, the drawing of the prophet that spark protest here in the north which caused Mayham and destruction affecting the christain folks... Just to mention a few.
Could the Muslim folks turn 'the other cheek' if all these attacks were deliberately targeted at them?? Your guess is as good as mine.

The U.S.A prediction on nigeria's possible break up in 2015 comes to mind again. However this time I see religion playing a role in regards to its actualization. It's the only way this entity can divorce, the ethnic and tribes are too much to all hate on each other to a fault. However these tribes or ethnic groups are either predominantly Christians in the south or predominantly Muslim in the North (CNN).

While Nigerians are urged to restrain and abstain from all from of violence and religious intorelance in this upcoming elections, if any of OIC's aims and objectives is achieved in Nigeria come 2015! We know the man behind the ink (IBB).

Who takes Sahara reporters seriously these days?? Waste of mb... The media arm of boko are at it again.

Firefire:
They are crying ahead of the DSS release.

Hahahaha as in Ehen! Was scrabbling to find DSS press release only to find out these desperadoes are blowing their trumpet way to loud before the event. Can't wait to read the full details on what DSS got on them.

Goodluck guys!!

It's amazing how pedestrians think they can address the number 1 citizen in Nigeria with such bile and unguarded utterances, when they clear cannot address their fathers or elder ones, if any, in such lousy way.
Keep ranting and watch GEJ going higher!
Simple sense would tell you your being schooled by doukpe who has taken his time to tell you that's there a system of government where you have the local, state then the federal level in which everything these lower tiers of government needs is being disbursed by the FG.
The state and local government receive huge allocations that run into billions and yet the ignorant is quick to bypass these government structure and question GEJ??
Haters get a new life! This GEJ this and that is getting lame and outdated!

Nice one from the FG and its partners in ensuring nigeria is progressing steadily in attaining it's vision to be a 'developed' nation come 2020. Indeed, GEJ is working as many would say! Give this incredible man 4 more years and watch him perform beyond expectation. Despite all opposition GEJ is and would sail through the storms to become president until 2019.

When the Nigerian president (GEJ) said terrorism was a global phenomenon, a lot of critics said he was being clueless and making excuses. Well, here's another terror related activity in the making. Am sure the Kenyan people and government turned a blind eye to the call by GEJ for a regional security force to checkmate terrorist expansion and advances to and fro the african borders. Today Kenya, Cameroon and other countries are experiencing one form of terror related activities or another on their home soil. Perhaps they taught is was just a Nigerian 'Thing' perculiar to the Nigerian people alone.
Could GEJ be a prophet?? He foresaw the expansion of terrorism into other countries, knowing how easily brainwased the vulnerable can be through religion and financial instability which the sponsors glady capitalize on.

I strongly believe that the name 'boko haram' and its meaning is a front for the 'world order' aiming to destabilize the African continent as a whole. Sadly most politicians and individuals or groups, have allowed themselves to be used in this global agenda. Some have blamed GEJ, Buhari, Arewa, ISIS, bin laden, CAN, Muslims, christains etc.. Could all these individuals or groups have the financial chest to wage war on the continent? Your guess is as good as mine.
Terrorism has and would always be the gate way for invasion, wars, neo colonization, exploit etc.. It's every where! Lybia, Syria, Iraq, Iran, NIgeria, Mali etc.

These events has forced me to think of the "end times" in which christains are being persecuted, killed and lynched because of their faith. The time speaks of wars and rumors of wars, sickness and diseases (Ebola), famine, economic crashes et al. The truth is, THE WORLD IS NOT GETTING BETTER! Braces yourselves for your creator! Oh ye sons of men

@op your topic should be changed from that of religion to his state of residence at most. You can go "kaduna man hacks wife......" Cheers!

Nice, articulate and enlightened write up from Femi, filled with facts and truths. I have said it before and would say it again! Hay pee cee means this great country no good! A party that is hell bent on stealing power by unethical means can not be voted into power. We the Nigerian people are now enlightened! Thanks to the wide usage of the Internet we can keep up with information and have out voice heard as well as counter half truths.
Opposition thought the High usage of mobile internet phones in GEJ's government would bring him down by inciting falsehood, deciet, fake news and propaganda against nigeria and GEJ through their paid e-agents in and outside NL. Guess what?? It worked in his favor (NL a case study). The high rate of insult targeted at GEJ regime was mostly a result of twisted facts presented by haters of GEJ and Nigeria.
Hay pee cee! Sheath your swords and bow away while you still have some sense of morality in you! Come 2015 those who are afraid of GEJ as Femi has rightly stated shall all go into extinction, including you all on NL.

The group has said it all! Obj's new love for writing negatively against the person of GEJ and this present administration is worrisome. Obj's actions are anti-party and unheard off except he has a personal vendetta against the president, he might as well come forward to say it so its addressed.

It's funny how people don't realize that when you point a finger at someone, you have four pointing back at you.

vowiski:
If you are not here for arguments on tithes , then what are you here for?

I hate it when people try to do something and claim not to be interested in doing what they crave...

Learn to take correction dude! Take a chill pill... I kinda get from your stance your anti tithe and what not! How does people paying their tithes affect you as an individual? Stop drinking panadol for someone else's headache. Gosh!
You said the spoils from the war wasn't Abraham's! I said that's not accurate because in war, the winner takes it all! I went further to explain to you the reason he didn't take the spoils as opposed to the normal practice of taking it, as "so that man would not say he made Abraham rich" which was clearly stated in that same chapter.
So what's the ranting and bickering all about?? Show or quote me where what I said in regards to the spoils is wrong or go back to your unprofitable argument. Peace

vowiski:
If you were conversant with that scripture as well, you'd realize that Abraham never tithed from his possession..

You failed to answer how a single event, suddenly became the weekly tithe that Christians are required to pay..

Also, if Jesus.. the son of God wasn't authorize to collect the tithes like Melchizedeck, Heb 7.. I see no reason why the Church will go against a clear command of whom God authorize ALONE to collect his tithes... - The Levite..

If you must tithe, it must be on the hands of a Levite and not a tele-evangelist.. Numbers 18...

Am not here for arguments on tithes or no tithes! Tithe It's a personal action or commitment between a believer in Christ and his God. Arguing over it won't change the fact that it's practiced freely world wide and it works for those who engage in it.
What I addresses was the bolded in your earlier post about the spoils, if my response was inaccurate do highlight what part you don't agree on and we could take it from there.

The rate at which unconfirmed and unsubstantiated news are hitting the front page these days are quite alarming! In Seun's bid to satisfy the hay pee cee bed fellows, the credibility of NL is going to the 'dogs'. While I personally understand the need for fairness and equality, having it at the expense of confusion, and promoting propganda is unacceptable! It is not by force to have opposition news on the front page especially when they have nothing to offer.

This morning it was human rights takes GEJ to court for abuses. This topic was later chainged to NGO's rather than human rights as earlier speedily put up on the front page.
Seun and the mods be guided! Maintain professionalism, don't be pressured into promoting hay pee cee's propaganda agenda just to save face or appear neutral.
Most news from these fellows (hay pee cee) are from unknown blogs and cooked up websites. Do your best to feed Nigerians the true and accurate news especially on the front page. Thanks!

vowiski:
Abraham gave 10% from the "spoils of war" and returned 90% of the "spoils of war" to the King of Sodom..

[/b]Spoils of war wasn't Abraham's possession..[b]

It was a never-again-to-be-duplicated event in the bible...

How does that event mean every today's christian must give his money, year after year, month after month and week after week..

If you can show me a similarity between Abraham's tithing to melchizedeck and christian tithing to men of God (not levities) .... I will show you the similarity between an Elephant and a Housefly.

@ bolded the spoils of war is owned by whoever wins the war. The only reason Abraham did not accept the spoils of war as his was stated there if you are well conversant with that scripture. The reason was "so the Kings or 'man' would not say they made Abraham rich. Cheers!

TambAWOL has finally gone AWOL for life! Indeed the law has long arms. It was only a matter of time but he sure had this coming when he defected from the party that elected him into being speaker without any division in the party. In tambAWOL attempt to please his political godfathers and side with the opposition, he let his sentiments becloud his reasoning.

chidexy:
[/b]You are right. The whole Boko Haram nonsense is all about closing the 10 million votes deficit that Buhari recorded in 2011. The first wave of the operation targeted churches and areas populated by mostly southerners in the North. This led to mass exodus of southerners from their main cities. The second wave of the operation targets the mostly christian areas of the North East. All the communities being sacked are majorly Christian domain and where the president recorded votes in 2011. If you are in doubt, study the demography of the 2011 votes.

Be sure that as February approaches, you'll have more of this scare bomb explosions to further scare people (especially those who might not vote for their preferred candidate - read Buhari) from coming out to cast their votes

You seems to understand hay pee cee's dirty politics! Nice analysis from you. Cheers

lalasticlala:
Multiple explosions suspected to be Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) has rocked Damaturu, the Yobe State capital while sporadic gunshots engulfed the city of troubled Maiduguri on Monday morning living many residents trapped in their houses for fear of their lives.

Damaturu is 135 km West of Maiduguri, Borno State capital.

This is even as another attack at Lassa town of Askira/Uba local government area of Borno state over the week end left 11 residents dead with [/b]Churches including the biggest EYN church[b] and many houses burnt down by the Boko Haram sect.

Sources also said during the Lassa attacks, youth vigilante of the area confronted the sect this led to the killing of 41 Boko Haram members and capture of 17.

The fresh morning attack of Today (Monday) which started at about 6am in Damaturu by terrorists were targeted at police and military formations as well as selected houses, a situation that sources said left many people dead.

Reliable source told our Correspondent that “the Police Mobile Base in Damaturu was one of the security formations that came under attack by insurgents”.
“As I am talking to you now, we are in serious confusion now, gunshots and explosions everywhere especially from the southern part of the city and people are fleeing,” said an embattled resident, Mallam Usmanu Iliya.

Another resident who did not want his name mentioned for security reasons said he was woken up by the gunshots and blast which started at about 6am, and he suspects Boko Haram may be attacking.
Another resident who could barely speak as he was panting simply told our reporter that “We are running for our lives…we are under attack… We don’t know where to hide, the shooting is all over….”.

Although, as at press time, the attacks and confrontations by security operatives in Damaturu is still continuing, the actual casualty figure is yet to be ascertained.
Likewise, the sporadic gunshots that woke the residents of Maiduguri according to military sources “were not from Boko Haram sect, but a routine test of arms and ammunitions by security operatives in the state”. Even though, the development puts more fear on the minds of parents send their children to schools, while those who normally go out for work early in the morning could not do so.

Meanwhile, residents of Lassa over the week end reportedly resisted the attack on its community by engaging the attackers with locally made guns, bows and arrows.

[/b]Lassa is predominantly a Christian community[b] in Askira Uba council area of Borno state which is under control of Boko Haram sect.

Ali Mamza, a resident of Lassa town and member of the local vigilante group told reporters that,“If we flee today, tomorrow we will continue to flee and these murderer would continue to kill. If we had fled they would have killed many people. I think our decision to fight yielded as it is better that few people were killed than for hundred to be killed. We will continue to encourage ourselves, because they would keep coming, we cannot run any longer.” He said.

@bloded and Sane minds still question the rational behind boko??
GEJ must be really trying hard to depopulate the north by wiping out Christians so he could establish his Islamic caliphate.

It's a shame human right's group have allowed themselves to be used as a political tool against this present government. Now people must understand and see that they are forces trying all means possible by hook or crook to stop GEJ from going to the polls come 2015! Why are these cabal so scared of meeting GEJ in the polls? They know he would win, they know his loved massively by the Nigerian people, they know his the best thing to happen to Nigeria since sliced bread.

@topic where was human rights when obj committed genocide against the odi people? Where was human rights during the Nigerian civil war where igbo's were starved and subjected to all dehumanizing actions as against the UN charter on human rights? Where was human rights when Umaru Musa Yar'Adua government cracked down on Yusuf and his supporters without fair trail or hearing?? Any sane mind that cannot see through the actions of human rights to pull the government of GEJ down through cheap propaganda is deluded!
What in the video says the men there are military and civilian JTF?? Last I checked we see boko boys and their leader shekau mostly dressed in military's camouflage and also bearing military weapons and equipment seized during raids on military posts or barracks. Human rights should go and sit down and channel their energy to more credible cases of abuse and stop joining forces with opposition to tarnish GEJ's efforts to make Nigeria a great nation come 2020.

Biased analysis coming from a sympathetic 'Islamic' news station. After the 2011 presidential elections that produced Buhari a sore loser, a reoccurring position over the years. The 'born to rule' noticed that GEJ swept the polls against the 'messiah' even in core northern states. This angered the desperate cabal into hunting down Christians in the north who were blamed for making Buhari a failure in his nothern caliphate by voting GEJ massively, something that's never happened before.
What followed next was a strategic and systematic targeting of lives and properties owned by Christians in the north. This was done by their political foot soldiers (boko haram) who then started attacking churches and burning them down, persecuting Christians because of their faith, killing, maiming and attacking christain dominated areas so as to force them to relocate to mostly the southern part of nigeria where they believe majority of these christain come from and have settled in the north over the years, hence pulling massive support and votes for a minority southerner they detest so much.

To a large extent, their plan worked out as majority of christains mostly from Igbo origin flocked in-mass down south in order to avoid being killed or lynched in the north. After the political boko did their bidding for their fanatic pay masters, the monster has been fed and has grown into a creature so uncontrollable and now we all can hear them cry foul and trade baseless blames against the FG and the person of GEJ! Pathetic I tell you! Today Buhari says vote me and watch insurgency in the north end?? Lame attempt to score cheap political point! Until the northern politicians comes together collectively to condemn and put an end to their creation, the north shall know no peace.

Have come across this topic a couple of times but ignored it knowing how desperate for attention hay pee cee folks are.
Anyways, I finally saw it on the front page and decide to take a peep. Didn't bother to read the content but was more concern about the credibility of the news media that carried the news. To my uttermost unsurprise, I find this

http://www.metronaija.com/pres-jonathan-to-be-served-impeachment-notice-on-dec-3/

Like really? After atiku an hay pee cee chieftain had a meeting with bloggers and e-warriors in Lagos a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of biased and false news coming from these less important nor credible website and blogs.
It's a shame Seun has been pushed by the desperadoes too far in his stance for equality and fairness. While I understand seun's phlight to satisfy the hay pee cee fellows, he needs be careful not to be a medium for baseless and unsubstantiated news as introduced by the opposition to score cheap political points and please their pay masters to show they working on NL! Seun and the mods be guided.

ALISMILE:
After the attack on the Kano Mosque which, so far, has resulted in d highest number of casualties in a single attack by BH, is it still rational to pin BH on Islam? Most of us in d South ve alws been quick to blame Islam and Muslims, wenever a church is attacked by BH. Mainly, due to religious bias and the aged long prejudice against Islam. Now who do we blame for this attack? We in d south together with CAN ve been saying that Sanusi is a supporter of BH. [/b]We ve alws peddled the idea that Buhari is a BH sponsor, even though he was attacked we said there was foul play,because he wasn't killed in d attack. When the Shehu of Borno was blacklisted by BH we said it was only a false flag until BH sent a suicide bomber to him in a failed attack. When Sheik Gumi's mosque was to be bombed by BH in another failed attack, we said it was another false flag. The former Emir of Kano was alleged to be a BH sympathizer until his convoy was attacked while he mysteriously escaped[b]. CAN president ve been sayin that Northern leaders er not talking loud enough against BH and I ask, 'Who no dey fear'? Is it not time we stopped trading stupid blames and unite in d fight against this blood suckers? Any sunday a church Is bombed we ll say its Islam's war against Christians. For God's sake am tired of hearing all this sentimental bullshit. Tribal and religious tirade will take us no where! Have a blessed sunday!

Does common sense not tell you that the bolded is too much of a coincidence?? How many citizens have successfully escaped boko assination attempts?
While your write up is framed to favor your motive, you still fail to be truthful to reality.
What religion is the man who is called Sheku that recites the Quran so well and freely?
What religion is the man who claimed to have forcefully married off over 200 girls whilst converting them against their rights??
What religion is practiced by the men we see in boko videos chantting "God is great" in Arabic??
Till you search your soul and answer these heart felt questions, you can never come to terms with reality! Goodluck!

biafranqueen:
My Dear it is very disturbing. Do you see how some have come and said so and so killed so we can kill too. I weep for humanity

Pathetic I tell you! See their followers are saying burn, kill etc.. Reminds me so much of their master who says nigeria shall be soaked in blood with baboons. Smh

I had made a post earlier reminding the police,navy,army,customs,DSS and other relevant government agencies tied to the security of our precious nation about the impending disaster hay pee cee seeks to cause when they lose the general elections come 2015. The desperate and uncivilized measured employed by the hay pee cee leadership and their blind supports is enough to know these guys mean the country no good. In this regards, no one needs a crystal ball nor sooth sayer to foresee the manifesto of hay pee cee to cause violence come 2015.

@op, your cause for concern is well placed! Am hoping the right people are taking note and adequate measure to curb these menace to society called hay pee cee and their evil plans.

Anything coming from hay pee cee needs to be checked, crossed checked and super checked! These guys are professional framers and slanders on a pay role.

Hay pee cee are the kinda people that tell you good morning and you look at your watch to see what time it is! They tell you wait, start running. Didn't even bother to waste my mb on the booing news! Wonder how much it cost to spread lies and falshood? This guys have sold their souls for peanuts
