"Far better it is to dare mighty things than to take rank with those poor timid spirits who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt 1899 Pastor Tunde Bakare I salute your courage and appreciate your effort. |

GEJ - I understand he is fighting to get through Fashola - Far from the masses, but a little considerate! |

Martin Luther King wasnt a politician in the mould of Bakare. He was just interested in the liberation of the people. Tunde Bakare has other ulterior motives as confirmed by his speeches. |

As a person who knows much about the history of civil right movement in America, Pastor Bakare to me is the MLK of Nigeria. You might hate him but he is far better than most selfish arrogant pastors that will rather fly in jets than to speak out on the crises affecting their church members. I do not know Bakare personally or ever met him but to me, history will always be kind to him for being on the side of the oppressed and not staying with the oppressors like most Nigerian pastors would do. |

Martin Luther King was a selfless activist. Tunde Bakare is a Politician. Very BIG difference between the two. @OP Check your brain very well; maybe a Nut fell out of it. |

NO Did Bakare has money to buy fuel even at 250/per litre? Yes Did Bakare collected bribe from our weakest president of all time? NO Can Bakare be trusted considering his intergrity? Yes etc, Hate him or like him, Bakare I hail your courage jaree! Ignore these bunch of paid poster here and continue the fight to make Nigeria better! |

@Poster Unfortunately many of those who had commented know little about Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK). MLK was not as popularly accepted in his days as he is after death. He was a priest and activist and for most of his life was against the way the United States of America was governed. He campaigned for America's equality law to become a reality. He saw the equality law working only in the case of white-skinned Americans. MLK was against the invasion of Vietnam and he was very vocal about his opinions that America lacks the credibility to teach the rest of the world morals. He was popular with some black people but not all and not majority of blacks approved of his method. Many blacks thought he was too peaceful in his approach. Albeit the American government saw him as enemy of peace and accused him severally of inciting violence. He was arrested in one of the protests he organised because the government claimed the so called peaceful protest had turned violent. Malcom X also fought for black emancipation about the same time but his own principle was "an eye for an eye." Many others also led similar protests around the same time but when the dreams of all those who fought for black emancipation in America started to yield fruits the "I have a dream" speech by MLK came to lime light hence his post-mortem popularity. Pastor Bakare is similar to MLK in many ways both are priests and activist, both participated in protests against government's policy, both were accused of inciting the public against the government, both believe their country would be better, both are not accepted by many of the people they fight for, both have been arrested at one time or the other by the government. Even though Bakare is not the only one who led protest against the fuel subsidy nor was he the only one who had always spoke against the way the Nigerian government is being runned by the ruling class. His opinions and protests continue to remain the most popular in Nigeria today. Even during Obasanjo's regime he was arrested for prophesying doom on Obasanjo. It seems the government is quite afraid of his statements because he is not the only one making such comments. However Bakare and MLK share their many differences. It's unfortunate that some have given silly and sentimental comments about Bakare. The SSS had noted him since he was a Fellowship president in Unilag as an activist so everything he says or does is not new to his friends and those who know his history. That's just Bakare, if Gani was alive he would probably do the same. You cannot run away from yourself. |

Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by MAYOWAAK: 11:56am On Jan 18, 2012 |
For those of you condemning and criticizing Pastor Bakare,I suggest you take into consideration the immortal words of Theodore Roosevelt,the 26TH President of America which states as follows: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” |

Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by Ournaija: 12:12pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
This man left the comfort of his house to be identified with the masses and also put his own voice together with that of his people so that the people`s voice can be heard. It baffles me why people will open their dirty mouth to condemn him for saying out what he believe in. We have so many imams and pastors who stayed glued to their wealth at home. They will never complain because their their bellies are too full. I like GEJ, I like Tunde Bakare more |
Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by Dunniah(f): 12:33pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
Doesn't matter if people run up their mouths against Pastor Tunde Bakare. It doesn't even matter if he was doing it for selfish resons as some people allege. All I know is he lent his voice to the right cause at a time when people needed it. Some of us would forever appreciate that. For those that keep saying he did it for personal gains, especially for the 2015 elections, has it ever occurred to you that some other politicians would emerge in 2015, people that never moved a muscle during the protest. They would clamour for your votes. Bakare could have contested in 2015 without the protest saga but at least he did the right thing. What say ye to the others? |
Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by akings100: 12:55pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
Anybody doubting is envious of Tunde Bakare's his growing stature. Why dont we celebrate our own? Why do we allow sentiment to becloud oue sense of reasoning, men of God in Nigeria are scared of contamination, yet Bakare stood up fought for injustice and corruption of PDP. When he was fighting for Goodluck no body raise eyebrow, now that he is challenging him for bad governance, u guys want to cricise him. He is the MLK of Nigeria. May God bless him Tunde Bakare. |

Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by Abagworo(m): 3:00pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
Pastor Bakare is without doubt a great man never to be forgotten in the history of Nigeria. He can be compared with Luther but I do have some reservations. He has done what probably was unthinkable by dining with Muslims even as a Christian Pastor. It reminds me of the biblical case of Jews and Gentiles. He crossed the religious and ethnic barrier which is holding us back as a Nation and I appreciate that. MY RESERVATION Coming soon, |
Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by Fineone(m): 3:37pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
Pastor Tunde Bakare is a shephered, you don't have to like him. Unlike many of our corrupt leaders that will swim with the tide he is coherent and correct. |
Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by KnowAll(m): 3:45pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
jokes apart, Bakare has actually given some very strong inspiring speech that should jolt even the most lakadisical of nations of her responsibilities to her citizens, but in Nigeria the twin devil of tribalism and nepotism is even a bigger monster than one can envisage. |
Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by bilaya(m): 3:53pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
Tunde Bakare should be compared to the devil and not Martin Luther King. |

Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by manbuchai: 6:41pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
Bakare is envious of President jonathan,comparing him with Dr.Martin luther king is a big joke.Why did Bakare not gather crowd to protest against the killing of christians in the north.Southerners gets killed every day and nobody protested,Bakere and his gangs came out to protest against the removal of fuel subsidy.It means he has no value for life rather he values material things,it`s bad. |
Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by kennyeast(m): 7:49pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
BEFORE NOW I USE TO THINK THAT NIGERIAN GOVT WAS ACTUALLY THE ONE BRAINWASHING NIGERIAN BUT NOW I KNOW BETTER, A LOT OF NIGERIANS ARE JUST SO BLIND TO THE REALITY OF LIFE, FOR MANY YEARS NOW THEY HAVE REFUSED TO SEE THE WAY THIS COUNTRY IS BEING RUN BY A GROUP OF GANG MEMBERS, BUT I GIVE GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY FOR THE FEW SANE WHO HAS THE INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY AT HEART, THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT CHANGE COMES WITH ACTION. TUNDE BAKARE IS A GREAT MAN JUST LIKE MLK, HE HAS REFUSE TO DINE WITH THE CORRUPT. SOMEBODY MADE A COMMENT, THAT TUNDE BAKARE IS A POLITICIAN, AND THATS WHAT MAKES HIM A BAD PERSON, I ASK, WHAT DID THE BIBLE WE CLAIM TO BELIEVE IN SAYS ABOUT WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS ARE IN AUTHORITY? U CAN HATE MY COMMENTS BUT DON'T HATE ME, I CARE ABOUT NIGERIA AND WE NEED EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE AND TO BRING THE CHANGE WE NEED. NIGERIA WILL SURVIVE! manbuchai: DO U KNOW THAT HARDSHIP CAN KILL MORE THAN WHAT BOKO HARAM CAN EVER KILL? IF ONLY U KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL DIE BECAUSE OF THE HARDSHIP THIS INCREASE IN FUEL WILL CAUSE, MANY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD MEDICATION, FOOD,TRANSPORTATION AND EVEN HOSPITAL BILLS. |

goodbobo: You beat me to it! Let those cowards continue to run their mouths on the internet when they cannnot voice their opnion in public not to talk of confronting the govt. In the Bible we see prophets like Deborah leading a war and even Elijah challenged Ahab the king and his prophets of baal to a contest on mount carmel. Some mumu will rather continue to sit in their homes suffering and smilling and saying e go better while some will be moving from one prayer mountain to another rather than join forces with sincere people like Pastor Bakare to put an end to corruption. |

Re: Would Consider Tunde Bakare As The Martin Luther King Jr. Of Nigeria? by Koikoi(m): 11:03pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
Pastor who? is he really a pastor? at Ojota he sounded more like a medusan bigot. If he were a critic as most peeps want us to believe, he should have been aiming his protests at all social ills in the Nigerian society rather than trying to portray himself as a hero of selective-selfish hidden motive for avenues that will prepare him and his boss (Boko haram, sorry Buhari) for the next election. The id.iotic PTB will continue to fail as long as he decides to push GOD to the back seat while trying to shield HIM from seeing the situations ahead. |
