With all his "INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERIENCE" he mentioned he was one of those who alongside with the the American government and others that agreed to make Buhari emerge as the President of Nigeria, acknowledging the roles they played even before the APC primaries. Well I don't have anything close to what he has, but have the common sense to know that buhari was a bad omen and a pure evil. May God judge him and his generations for this unforgivable evil the brought upon us because people like him always want to play God. Why would he chose buhari over Jonathan, there were other candidates but they forced him on Nigerians. 1 Like |

FYA If we are to practice the laws in the old testament, we are to practice ALL without leaving any UNTOUCH. Ranging from burning of animals, KILLING YOUR FIRSTBORN SON and animals as first fruits. Not eating pork etc. The pidyon haben (Hebrew: פדיון הבן) or redemption of the first-born (if male and not by Caesarean)[1] is a mitzvah in Judaism whereby a Jewish firstborn son is "redeemed" by use of silver coins from his birth-state of sanctity, i.e. from being predestined by his firstborn status to serve as a priest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidyon_haben Numbers 8:15-16 15 Every thing that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto the LORD, both of man and beast, shall be thine; howbeit the first-born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. 16 And their redemption-money--from a month old shalt thou redeem them--shall be, according to thy valuation, five shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary--the same is twenty gerahs. 1 Like |

'I'm Returning to God': Former Atheist Italian Doctor Seeks Strength From God The testimony from an Italian doctor, once an atheist, has gone viral as he reveals how God is giving him strength and peace during the pandemic. Dr. Lulian Urban Lorenzo from Lombardia, who is tirelessly treating COVID-19 patients, has turned to God during these difficult times, Catholic Focus reports. "What we have seen and done in our hospital for the past three weeks has been nothing but a nightmare. Until two weeks ago, we and many of my colleagues were atheists," Lorenzo said. "One hundred percent believed that science excludes God because we are doctors." The 38-year-old said he spoke to a dying priest, who was struggling to breathe – then watched him read Scripture to other patients suffering from the Coronavirus. After the priest passed away, Lorenzo recalled how much peace he received from those encounters. "He helped to give us the peace we never expected in just nine days when all hope was shattered. Remembering that we were helped by his weakness...the good shepherd went to the Lord," Lorenzo said. Lorenzo explained that several of his colleagues became ill and passed away – but all hope is not lost and he will continue to care for the sick and dying. "I will live like that priest until my last breath for others. I am happy to have returned to my God when my loved ones were suffering and dying around me, " he said. "We begin to feel that God begins where man ends. Truth be told, we who were atheists until yesterday, now pray to God for peace," he said. "The courage that was supposed to be lost has somehow returned. We are more energetic now." Lorenzo proclaims he is now a Christian and asked for prayers that he may continue to care for the sick. "I was an atheist, but now I'm returning to God. Pray for us to help care for the sick," he concluded. Christian artist Mandisa recently commented on Lorenzo's story and referenced Isaiah 55:9 – revealing that God's ways are above earthly understanding. "God's ways are higher than ours. Look for Him shining in the dark. Be the one He speaks through." https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2020/march/im-returning-to-god-italian-doctor-and-former-atheist-seeks-strength-from-god 2 Likes |

If the SW decides to secede would there be resistance from the SS SE or the North? If the the North thru ACF and other northern regional bodies decide to secede or call for regionalism, would / can there be any resistance from other region?. I have a feeling they would have their way. Truths about Nigeria. 1 Even the British would never have succeeded running the country under this present arrangement. The knew and were properly advised. Hence regionalism. 2 We have landmass with borders that makes us a country but not a nation. 3 We are in a perpetual state of self denial, hence we continue to delude ourselves even in the face of stark present realities. From History three things will happen to Nigeria someday. 1 True federalism ( unlikely because there seems to be forces that have tabooed and seiged our minds and reasoning from taking this step ) 2 Regionalism ( faint possibility ) 3 Break Up. Very controversial and bitter word but then our actions tend toward this direction. If we continue in this path and refuse to adopt the first two system above then the third is inevitable. Namdi KANU is not the problem of Nigeria's peace and unity. He stepped into and took advantage of abysmal failure of our system of government & governance. AGAIN if the North decides to path way with Nigeria CAN any region, person or group stop them even without referendum. pls I'm a willing student eager to learn. 1 Like |

If she was that close to the boy either as friends or thru a biz transaction smthing will definitely com up. 2 if the girl is no longer within reach then smthing is nt ryth. 3 Also do same as in 1 above with the deceased. The interesting thing abt investigation is once started, it gradually unfolds itself. wat happened was spontaneous not planned hence many loopholes. As 4 the father of the girl the man get heart.

By Wale Sokunbi (08056180228 walesokunbi2003@yahoo.co.uk) Wednesday February 29, 2012 Once again, there is raging controversy on the formula for sharing of national revenue. This age-long controversy that had been rested for some years following the allocation of 13% derivation to oil producing states in 1999, is firmly back on the front burner of public discourse. And, we have none other than the Governor of the Central Bank, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, to thank for it. Sanusi, in a recent interview with Financial Times of London, kicked off the argument that Boko Haram, poverty and the general unrest in the Northern part of the country is a result of the lower sums they get from the Federation Account compared with the oil producing states. According to him, “there is clearly a direct link between the very uneven nature of distribution of resources and the rising level of violence.” The Northern Governors Forum chaired by Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu, took the argument up from there last week when it unequivocally demanded more funds for the Northern States. Aliyu, speaking for governors of the Northern States, last Thursday, called for a review of the revenue sharing formula to “reflect current realities.” The North, apparently, is beginning to see the extra funds allocated to oil producing states under the 13 per cent derivation allocation as an injustice that ought to be redressed, and a direct cause of the Boko Haram onslaught. Governors in the region believe sharing of oil receipts on the basis of equality of all states will make more money available to non-oil producing states, especially those in the Northern part of the country. The South South is unimpressed with this position. Governors in the region have rejected this clamour for more funds by Northern States, outright. State governors in the South have lined up arguments against the position of the Northern governors. Rivers State says every state has resources such as agriculture which proceeds are not shared among states. Abia hinges its argument on the fact that it is the oil producing states that bear the brunt of oil production through environmental degradation, while Ondo State says 13 per cent derivation is the oil producing states’ statutory right. Akwa Ibom agrees with Rivers that oil producing states are the goose that lays the Nigerian golden egg, hence there is no basis for equal sharing of oil revenue with non-oil producing states, because the producing region does not share degradation of its environment with them. One clear message that runs through the responses from the South South state governments is that the Northern States that contribute nothing to oil revenue generation should not be talking about injustice in the sharing of revenue that accrues therefrom. Many hinged their argument on the fact that the oil actually belongs to the oil producing areas, which should be commended for accepting only 13 per cent derivation approved for them only in 1999, when the revenue sharing formula in the country before the intervention of the military in governance in 1966, was 50 per cent to the region that generates it, and 50 per cent to the Federal Government. The arguments, both for and against allocation of more revenue to the Northern and other non-producing areas of the country, are compelling. On face value, on one hand, it is very easy to regard Sanusi and the Northern governors who want a greater share of the revenue from oil for the North, as greedy and insensitive. It may be okay to ask some questions. Why, for instance, should a section of a country which contributes little or nothing to national revenue be demanding for more funds from the centre? Why can’t states in such areas generate more revenue internally, instead of sitting, hands down, waiting for financial handouts from Abuja? Why can’t they harness the potentials of their areas, be it agriculture, solid minerals or industry, and earn enough to support their population? On the other hand, it may be easy to query, also, the seeming injustice of one single state, such as Rivers, receiving N1.053 trillion (a billion in a thousand places) between 1999 and 2008 from the Federation Account while two states in the North-East, Yobe and Borno, received N388 billion only, within the same period. Well meaning people may ask if this is not a great injustice that needs to be urgently redressed, especially in a country that claims to be united. The two arguments above may, indeed, be valid, but they do not go to the heart of Nigeria’s problem on revenue allocation and utilization. The nation’s major problem with revenue allocation formula is not so much the amount that goes to the individual states, as the disproportionate huge chunk that goes to the Federal Government, and the way it is utilized. Under the present formula, the Federal Government gets 52.68 per cent (more than a half) of all national revenue. The 36 states share N26.32 per cent (a little over a quarter), while local councils that are notorious for not doing much to improve the fortunes of their areas, get 20.6 per cent. Oil producing states began getting 13 percent derivation in 1999 to redress the neglect of the region by succeeding governments over the years. This distribution formula is unduly lopsided in favour of the Federal Government, while the states, which bear the greater brunt of responsibility for the people, take only a quarter, and mostly indolent local governments take a whole 20% of national revenue! This sharing formula is inexpedient to the quest for even development of the country. This is even more so as much of the funds are not committed to projects that have direct bearing on the welfare of the people. It is also likely partly responsible for the jumbo pay of political office holders at the national level. Again, the linking of Boko Haram attacks to poverty occasioned by a revenue allocation formula that is skewed against the North, is tendentious. For one, Boko Haram operatives have at no time left anyone in doubt of their agenda – which is to institute Sharia and Islamic rule, initially in some states in North, but, as it would seem now, throughout the country. At no time has the sect said anything about poverty. Where then did Sanusi get his poverty + Northern Nigeria = Boko Haram theory? Moreover, a number of persons identified to be involved in the Boko Haram terror campaign are not poor. President Jonathan, himself, has said they can be found in the military, the police, judiciary, legislature and, indeed, every area of government. Is it poverty that pushed such ones into sympathy for the sect? That is certainly not so! The Christmas Day underwear bomber, AbudulMuttalab, who was recently jailed in the United States for attempting to detonate an explosive device on an American airliner, is the son of a notable, well-educated and rich Nigeria. Is it poverty that drove him to the terrorist adventure? While many states in the country can very well do with increased revenue, increased funding from the Federal purse is not the solution to the Boko Haram problem, unless the campaign of the sect is just another pressure tool in the hands of Northern leaders. Let all state governments seek ways to increase Internally Generated Revenue (IGR). Let them stop being appendages of the government. Let a higher percentage of federal revenue go the states. Let there be greater accountability from local governments for the 20 per cent of national funds that they collect. Also, let the huge financial gulf between oil producing states and their non-oil producing counterparts be redressed. But then, we should not turn poverty and Boko Haram hinto bedfellows. Poverty is a global, social phenomenon that is as serious in the North as it is in some of the states in the oil producing part of the country. The Boko Haram onslaught is the result of skewed thinking and reasoning fired by misguided religious fervor. More money to the states may help address the peculiar Nigerian poverty debacle. It will not resolve the Boko Haram call www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/opinion/2012/feb/29/opinion-29-02-2012-001.html |

Why cant members discuss issues on nairaland without resorting to curses and abuses. Obasanjo might be wrong but the curses on him neither re-enforces or makes ones argument superior to others. There are comments here that wen you take away the curses, it still stands to reason. So why resort to it. |
