Pastor Adeboye has directed everyone to vote for their choice in the coming election

https://www.nairaland.com/7245036/2023-dont-distract-attention-vote

The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has told his church members not to distract his attention and that they can vote for any candidate of their choice in next year’s elections.

This comes amidst controversies surrounding the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the position of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

Adeboye, in a viral video on social media during sermon told his congregation not to distract him as his assignment had nothing to do with partisan politics.

“My assignment is to pray for you, including Nigeria, my assignment has nothing to do with partisan politics. Don’t distract my attention. You will bear me witness, those of you who are genuine members of Redeemed Christian Church of God, I have never told you this is the person you should vote for.

“Have I ever told you that whether in secret or in open? Never. I have never said this is the party you should belong to, I have never said it and I will never say it. And you know why, because in Redeemed Christian Church of God, every party is heavily represented. Every one, APC, PDP, APGA, Labour Party, etc,” he said.

Adeboye also disclosed the reason he had never voted in any election in Nigeria.
According to him, “The only reason I have never voted is that if I vote for anyone, I will be unjust to the rest of my children, I am the father of all and I like it that way. All I am saying and I am saying it loud and clear, as a Nigerian, everyone of you, you are Nigerians before you became a Christian, because nobody is born a Christian. You are a true Christian because you gave your life to Jesus Christ.

“Before you became a Christian, you are a Nigerian, you have a duty to your country, to register, to vote, to make sure that your vote should count, you have a duty to belong to any party of your choice at the very grassroots, you can’t sit down, fold your hand, refuse to vote and then begin to complain about the government.

“What were you doing when they were voting? They were voting, you sat down at home, you did not register and then some people came round and selected for you whether at the gubernatorial level, presidential level or local government level. They chose for you because you refuse to do anything and then you begin to complain.

“You must register, you must vote, you must sit down there after you have voted until they count the vote, you must know who they said won. You must make sure there is no more rigging in Nigeria. I don’t care which is your party, I don’t care who you vote for but do your duty, that is what I am asking you to do and you must do it.”

If you check that thread you will see that As expected the ObiOma crew have poured all types of curses on Adeboye just because he told people to vote whoever they want.

"ObiOma" is supposedly a tailor in Igbo. Being a "tailor" is legal; after all, that's Yomi Casual's claim to fame. There's dignity in labour.

I'd choose being part of the "ObiOma Crew" than in a drug-trafficking crew anyday and all day.

Wishing you agbado and light.

Obi kekereke!!!

Good day ladies and gentlemen, panel of judges, accurate time keeper and my co debaters..

My names are sir Onyema, and i am here to represent Rock foundation nursery and primary school, Anambra on the motion, Naija is better than yankee..

onyemaair:


Firstly, We pay very low taxes in Nigeria. In America my poultry farm would most likely be taxed. My wife's salary is not taxed at all. Mine is deducted from the ministry but my tax is just 15k monthly. But federal government pays emoluments and allowances.

2. I also don't go to work everyday. The same thing with many of my colleagues. We have a system that covers for each other. I go to work only 3 times in a week.
You can't have such laxity abroad. You will work through your nose.

Tiri.. Lastly let me tell you the icing on the cake, I haven't paid nepa bill in 3 years. Around us we have people that rig the meter, so it doesn't read. When the nepa people come much later, we settle the staff and he goes. This cannot happen in abroad.

With these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you and not confuse you that Naija is better than Yankee.

Taainkyo..

Egbon say na eyesin on the cake ..

1.when they tell you PETER OBI is different. Tell them,if he is different, he will never associate with Atiku,till today he still see Atiku as his leader and he will never criticize him. He is also a serial cross carpeter like othe nigerian politicians. From APGA to PDP to LP.

2.IF they say they just don't want APC and PDP.Tell them Peter Obi and his deputy were formal PDP members and Doyin okupe and co who worked with GEJ will be part of his government. Even saraki will decamp

3.if they say APC and PDP destroy nigerian.Tell them Peter obi was part of the destroyers under GEJ as members of economic advisers.

4.if they tell you Tinubu is old?Tell them non of them is young. Peter obi is 61yrs old and qualified to be a geriatric patient in some country.Majority of past US presidents are above 65yrs.

5.if they say Peter obi is intelligent and an economic guru.Tell them Peter obi studied philosophy and finished with third class.BAT graduated on top of his class in accountancy.

6.if they say Peter obi performed well as Anambra governor?how come no standing physical legacy we could point to in Anambra. Also,how come we didn't know untill now.when BOLA TINUBI,FASHOLA,AMBODE ,AKPABIO,AMAECHI,UDOM EMMANUEL, UMAHI,ZULUM etc good performance in their states were and are known by all.Peter obi at any time was never the best performing governor in the country.

7.if they say Lagos used to be former capital.Tell them Lagos is different from Lagos state.lagos state and river state were established in 1966.lagos has 5 districts, only one of the district was formal capital.

8.if they tell you Tinubu did nothing in lagos?,Tell them to tell you how lekki and island looked like before 1999.Ask them if,RRS,LCDA,LAMARTA,LAWMA ,Millennium schools,etc were in existence in 1999.

9.if they tell you but fashola and ambode did 7 and 9?,tell them he Laid the foundations. Afterall,they didn't support him when he brought them and they blame their failures on Tinubu. He can as well be responsible for their success.

10.if they tell you lateef jakande prepared the blueprint, tell them lateef jakande was Awolowo disciple just like Tinubu. Tinubu reviewed the blueprint. BRT and Lekki free trade zones etc were never part of thr plan.

11.Dangote refinery was supposed to be in Ondo state.Tinubu and fashola wooed him to lagos.Ask Dangote himself.

12.if they tell you Tinubu is a bigot.Tinubu was the first governor since 1999 to appoint an Igbo man Ben akabueze from anambra as commissioner for finance in lagos.His wife is a Christian for 35yrs.Majority of his political disciple cut across board.Mention one act of detribalism or non-act of religion bigotry by Peter obi.infact he deported northerners and non anambra indigens as governor.He has never congratulate Muslims on eid before untill recently.

13.If they tell you Tinubu is greedy and ambitious.Tell them Tinubu left power since 2007.he never aspire to become a senator or minister even when he sponsored alot of his protégé to become one untill now.It is desperation that made PETER OBI to jumped from APGA to PDP to LP.

14.if they tell you Tinubu should be made responsible for Buhari few shortcomings, Tell them they have forgotten Tinubu was mocked for being sidelined,used and dumped by the government. Infact,his distractors celebrated his decimation. His only crime is that he remains loyal to his party and the game.

Later they said he ordered thugs to attack endsars protesters, and lastly, he ordered the army to shoot at protesters, someone who holds no political office is suddenly giving orders to the army. Even a sitting governor was unable to order a common police commissioner in his state. We saw videos of where nnamdi kanu was ordering his brothers to go and destroy tinubus biz and companies, but we chose to ignore that cos of the hatred we have for tinubu.

17.if they tell you he wants to islamize nigeria by choosing shetimma. Tell them the same CAN still blame buhari for Islamization even when he choosed pastor Osinbajo.The Igbo people never voted Awolowo when he choosed Philip a Christian like him as vice and they still hate Awolowo. Even till early this year,Igbo and some Christians still call OSINBAJO fake pastor.so,even if Tinubu pick pope,they will still call him fake POPE.if they call bishops that attended shetimma unveiling fake.They have called pastor osinbajo,a renowned RCCG pastor too fake before. Infact,to them Tinubu wife is fake.

A pry 6 pupil will laugh at this yardstick..


How about your ancestor concern's about exchange rate?

do you believe he was joking or there is an iota of sense in it

Peter Obi has had several interviews before this, and we've even discussed the merits and demerits of his strategy for security on this thread. Peter Obi supports state policing, economic restoration of these troubled areas, and non-combative strategies to resolve these conflicts. He's also said if all of these strategies fail, he's ready to revert back to more conventional means of handling terrorists.

If you watched the recent BBC Eye documentary on banditry and ethnic conflicts up North, you'd see we can't say it's simply terrorists wanting to terrorise, there's nuance to these issues.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-fPEHUqhyA

I do agree though, this last interview was far from stellar, he's had better ones and we shouldn't be too quick to write off certain candidates when we have other candidates who're actively dodging scrutiny and we still cannot point to what they have to offer.

When you see such person's copying and pasting lengthy nonsense for propaganda, you ignore them since the main essence of the lengthy nonsense lifted from other places is bamboozle, not to argue.

Plagiarism is their stock-in-trade that's why they'd lift and paste lengthy nonsense without quoting the source or actual author. Reminds me of Buhari's plagiarized speech scandal.

A dîmwit supporting a drug dealer who also illegally taxes Lagos to death deserves whatever collective fate befalls him and his.

Shameless urchins. What they do now is senseless slandering.
I said there are some loopholes one easily meanders in this country that makes it a bit more easier to live in than abroad. That has become a major attack point, because I guess, every single one of you agbado urchins have never done anything wrong or ever taken a shortcut in your life.

You guys have never cheated in any examinations in your entire lives, you have never shortchanged a seller in your entire lives, you've always returned the excess change you were given by a seller, you are all saints. Good one.

Well, I've never claimed to be the best person on earth, but I know I actually wish those loopholes I exploit are closed and our system works perfectly so that there will be no need to exploit these loopholes and defaulters are better clamped down on.
For every one person like me that rigged meter, there are 10 more people overpaying for light they don't use. That is because the system is just soo dysfunctional. I wish it stops.

Lastly, I'm not the one running for office. I'm just a citizen living his quiet life, suffering and smiling and hoping my children live to see their country become better. That is why I wish for good leadership and Peter Obi presents that opportunity. The other major parties sold their forms to the highest bidders, to the richest candidates, not the best candidates with better ideas and less baggages but simply with more dollars. I know that supporting any of them will mean continuing business as usual and I want a new Nigeria for my kids. Come at me all you want but I hope you all stop being tribalistic and support the best candidate among the top 3.

You are a wise person.

According to this thread Obi said 100 out of 150 NBA players are Nigerians. Could this be true?

https://www.nairaland.com/7246883/statement-nigerians-nba-league-usa

Kloppo:



And if you get sense and not live in a cave,you go know say for 1person bypassing meter,there are more people still paying estimated billings,who requested to even pay for a prepaid meter said to be "free" but was not given

One person. You know it is far more than that though. It is enough to put a dent in the earnings of the business. Meter bypass is one of the reasons for crazy bills. It is simple maths. The transformer meter reads 50kw.total energy reading for period from users is 30kw. The discos simply share the shortfall among the unmetered as crazy bills.

Slip of tongue.

On Education

Tinubu= I will give each pupils an egg per day.

Obi=As long as there was an agreement bw FG n ASSU...u have to fulfil it gradually and build d trust.

*Security

Tinubu= I will recruit 50m youth and feed dem with agbado n cassava

Obi=I will encourage state policing with adequate funding/tools...if needs be...i wull seek 4 external support...and many other things i intend not to divulge.

*Economy

Tinubu=I don't care about exchange rate as we dont import..


Obi= I will give room for exports of shoes from d east...fertile lands in d north is equivalent to the oil in the south......

on reason to be d president
Tinubu =Emi lo kan

Obi=I want to rescue Nigeria.
