Fran6ik:
I will prefer this formation while we keep some good legs like Iwobi and Musa for some super subs

Now somebody is speaking my language. This is a potent attacking and defensive formation. This formation against the Croatians will render their midfield useless and starve their attack, against Argentina it will make Messi push back into midfield to support and against Iceland we will have endless opportunities to score goal.
Love it

spartan117:
How many people will like to see Gernot Rohr use this formation. If not share yours.

Play this formation and watch your midfield get dominated by Modric, Kovatic, and Rakitic; get dominated by all teams per se.
The formation I am expecting to see at the World Cup is a 3-5-2 formation or 5-3-2 formation, with the 3 midfielder very close to each other and 2 of which are CDM.
From the 5 defender, both from the right and left flakes are attacking defenders with the ability to fall back.
Play my mentioned formation and watch we score enough goals against weaker defence but concede none or very little against opposite potent attack.
Good thing is that we have players that can play my formation and thrive well.

Like I said in the other post, Falz is very learned and there must be an explanation for that and yes he didn’t disappoint.
It is a good message only problem is the loco fanatics that will instead of think of the explanation will become violent because they want enjoyment in the after life.

delkuf:
just look at. he may be marked. this is what Muslim is all about. marking and killing people

Muslim, Christians, Buddhist, as long as their are fanatics, people who speak against their beliefs are marked.
Every religion is built on a peaceful foundation, selfish leaders and fanatics corrupted all religion.

ollah2:



Well said but you wonder why it thrives in regions where things aren't in place and/or in order. Nigerians go to church and mosque on Monday mornings, which further shows how it has ruined us.

It’s all about hope. HOPE.
Nothing is more soothing than HOPE especially when all is lost. Only few understand that hope is just a placebo to keep our sanity, then engage physical to achieve our dream thereafter.

ollah2:


Honestly, it's annoys me that Nigerians priorities religion in 2018. Sometimes, i wish I can slap sense into them. I don't think it's understable, Falz did shade both sects. A pastor was seen touching boobs in the video too. MURIC is just a useless group which under this new leadership has seen the group hated and less important. The members should find a way to get rid of the guy but it's all politics in such groups.


All religions and members must be respected

Well religion is the true natural resources we have. Nothing is more profitable than hope in the world as it makes everyone feeling serene. Unfortunately religion like everything comes with a dark price as some people tends to go overboard on it with thoughts of only the reward in the after life.
To some of the fanatics already, killing Falz will be getting rid of one infidel from the world. His messages are inconsequential.

NickD:

And in my opinion here lies the problem we face in this country. We are afraid to speak up about the ills in the society and that's why we keep running around the same spot. No religion is better than the other cos both Christians and Moslems we have our deficiencies but it doesn't mean we have to hide from them. What is bad is bad.

Much more afraid to speak up because there are no laws that protect the truth or the messengers after the truth has been spoken, undiluted.
No religion is better but it’s best for only the believers hence you get sets who see it as truth and no dare.
The message by Falz in the video are all truth, the video is pure art but then you don’t act “Fela” or “Bob Marley” without thinking of consequences.
Falz went had on the religion and so critics, death threats, and jailed term is kinda welcoming.

koladebrainiac:
it is well thought of. Muric will make mistake in their religion life if the turn this to violent or anything happen to Falz

No need continuing to goad the MURIC group. Falz choose this path and I am sure he has got explanations in case things goes south; not for just the Muslim but for the Christian groups as well.

OneTeslim:


I'm a Muslim, but the whole Muric group can choke to death. Group of barbarians. Why hasn't CAN made threats regarding the video? Must It always be MUMURIC?

why not tell their Fulani masters to stop killing people, and see if people's opinion about them won't change. Yeye dy smell.
They make me wanna hate being a Muslim

I too find it pointless to issue threats on the video but then I have to be fair when I saw the hijab dancing girls. The Catholic Church went loco when lady gaga dressed like a Nun in “Alejandro” only to be smooched by gay men, and when an American celeb (can’t remember) dressed in transparent Nun clothing with the crucifix taped to cover just her nipple, or when Christians went made for Juliet Ibrahim dressed as a Nun in Halloween.
My message is simple on the sensitive of religion in Nigeria. Still it’s a damn good video with powerful truthful messages by Falz.

NickD:

Did you listen to the part he talked about pastors at all? He owes nobody any explanation cause nobody gave him money for the video shoot.

Yeah I listened to it too which wasn’t far from the truth but I can tell you that some of the pastors into that ish may have marked him for condemnation. Muric just choose to be outspoken instead of being silent. And I still suggest he owns an explanation because he dabbled into a territory much sensitive than any in the country.

ollah2:




Religion is a sensitive thing in Nigeria but MURIC is mad for this statement. Must everything be seen from the religious len? Fallz did what he felt was fine for his musical video and we have seen loads of scenes from Nollywood portraying both sects doing bad things in their outfits or religious houses. Should the movies be banned and removed too?

The leader of MURIC is simply crazy or perhaps have a mission. I don't think MURIC was as insane as this under the precious leader( correct me if I'm wrong).. The guy needs thorough beating.. Btw, you chose wisely being an Agnostic. I like you type.

Well spoken but unfortunately we live in a country that priorities religion beliefs than core truth. MURIC I guess was created to protect Muslim beliefs and uphold their traditions so seeing their hijab used in “drug addict” dancing moves (according to the publisher) must have provoked them and it’s understandable.
You spoke about leadership of the group which plays a key role and yes the new leadership of MURIC takes everything too serious and makes the public to question the sanity of the group. That said every religion must be respected as I am sure Christians became furious on seeing lady gaga dressed like a Nun in “Alejandro” while getting smooched by weird gay dressed men.

Fashblonder:
Wch is why more people shld do this kind ofthing...why are we do sensitive abt religion in connection to a music video when there are so many things happening in Nigeria? They're just being extra as far as I'm concerned. Moreover Christians werealso mentioned in the video so what's all the fuss about? They won't pick useful things n learn...It's things that don't matter that'll be chooking them.

Not everyone can critically analyse a situation and pick the positives while tackling the negatives. When it comes to religion, tolerance is not everybody’s bread. Some may choose it to be of no importance but for others, it’s their life and they feel threatened when you disrespect it.
The Christian group may not talk but believe me other Christians must have marked Falz as lucifer who show no respect to the holy practice.

Binchim:


What's the worse that could happen, he was just trying to put a message across and I am glad everyone got it in HD..

The worse that can happen will be a loose cannon in the cloak of a fanatics taking his life. I am sure you have heard how people were killed by wakos for disrespecting their religion.

tolexy007:


falz owns anybody explanation......

I think you meant “Nobody”.
Yes he does because he dabbled into another religion knowing fully well how sensitive they are and don’t joke with their beliefs. Trust me on this but he may be marked.

Ok while I enjoyed the music and will chant the messages passed by Falz, I got to be sincere in judgment. Falz should have know better that religion is a very sensitive issue in Nigeria and it’s ill advised to goad actions from any religion set knowing that majorities are core fanatics who will die for their beliefs. The beheading part is an undiluted message but the hijab dancing part for me is uncalled for.
I may be incorrect but Falz is a Christian (can’t be sure) so his actions will be perceived more by the opposite religion set (Muslim) as core disrespect and consequences my not be from the this Muslim group but from a fanatical junky.
That said, Falz can’t withdraw the video and if he does, millions have downloaded copies hence it’s never going away. Best option for him now is to explain critically of his art to the group and I am sure it won’t be a problem since he’s learned.
I hope you are seeing this Falz and thinking critically of your next actions

Ps: I am no Christian or Muslim but an agnostic. So before mentioning to play the religious sentimental card, please think twice.

Is it that flavour is phobic to a shirt that he choose to open his body like coloured apes? Even better superstars whose body look like that of Roman gods don’t show it often but because flavour has little chest we can’t see him on cloth again.
If he had the body of Lebron James, John Cena, or Terry Crews then nah only boxers him for Dey wear.
Well it shows that he’s narcissistic.

kushme:


Yea, bro you are correct on the money must be made mentality.. Just check his fb page and see how the armed robber kept quoting the scripture..

It’s there way; criminals. They act motivational but are bloody and heartless thieves.
Traits usually portrayed by armed robbers, internet fraudsters and dishonoured people

The behaviour of average Nigerians. They praise you once you live flamboyantly without asking for the source of your wealth.
Money must be made mentality, even if I rob a bank and kill fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, bread winners and guidance.
Person with no know job or source of income live large and instead of to question their flamboyance we chant useless praises because hunger don finish us and we need peanuts from them.

Oju4190:
Pls Rohr used dis boys for world cup....I used God beg u

Boys don’t go to World Cup but men.
Remember Arsenal boys Vs Bayern Men at the champions league or Brazil boys vs Germany men at last World Cup.

Ok this ain’t sentiment but we need replace joel obi place in the World Cup list with Nwakali. He’s a play marker and the only we have now is Mikel.
Rohr I hope you are seeing this.

That goat with the failed back heel pass caused the equaliser. Mumu boy.

Christianity or religion at large is a man made practice used to try to explain the unexplainable when science and technology was lacking in the old days. Religion as at now is nothing but a powerful placebo that sells to you nothing but mindful hope but cash out in real currency.

Do you know that the holy bible was created by Emperor Constantine and the bishops at the “council of nicea”? At the meeting the “gnostics”, a Christian set were exempted and their books not included in the bible because they find it not fitting and controversial for the public. Are you aware that 80% of the New Testament is based on Paul’s letters to the church and not some Holy Spirit filling documentations?

Nigerian Christianity is solely based on money worshipping and that’s why offerings and tithes are prioritised instead of salvation, making one think salvation is costly and the Jehovah (if he exist) is an Italian Don who can be bought with first fruits, seed sowing, and 10% our of our income

I am certainly not against religion because it’s an acceptable placebo, else the chaos would have been unbearable knowing that there’s no afterlife comprising of a golden heaven with mansions and 70 virgins if I live good, and a fiery hell filled with the stench of sulphur.

all the games u listed above are not out yet na Oga... Don't under estimate rockstar oo

True but except they can make it an unending interaction and /or fantastic storyline then GOW will win. The game is too exciting and brings smiles when playing.

Played it, finished it, and I can say it’s going to win the award of the GOTY regardless Spider-Man, Tomb Raider, or Red Dead Redemption.
Fantastic Game.

James 4
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

I am not a Christian but an agnostic. Sorry this does work for me. Try another tactics.

I know...I know...but ridiculing the Church or the Pastor is not the way to get your money.
If you petition the higher ups and nothing is done then at least you know you did your best in trying to settle things amicably...

You might be thinking of towing your decision but things might get dirty and be full of regrets

Nothing to regret here. The land was bought with money gotten from days of hard honest work. I don’t need a faith seller to delay in payment when I know he has members ready to pay physical cash to receive reward from heaven.
RCCG is just a business empire to me and many before it, it’s not untouchable.

CioAngels:
You need not let them into your plan so that they don't wait for you at the cross road. They have told you to use the house to sow seed, imagine that. Just know that they are working tooth and nail to collect your house, i'm sure they intentionally stopped paying rent so that they can go through other evil means to take the house.

My dear I am only giving them that stipulated days as the law required so that during court proceedings I can proudly say I came to equity with clean hands. As for any funny plans from them, they are the least of my worries as have I more powerful enemies to attend to.
I am only disappointed that a church with such wealth can’t pay rent when asked to yet they keep collecting more money from their members in guise of church work.
Church work my a*s

Aceed:


Let's assume all your firsthand saying is true...how is it that they could afford rent payments when the Church was of a small size and can't pay rents when it is now grown in size (which should equate more revenue)?

Because from the little I know RCCGHQ take a fixed percentage from the revenue of the parishes, let's say it's 70% that is remitted and the Pastor of the parish could afford the rent and other expenses from the meager 30% while it was still a small church, how come he couldn't pay the rent when the Church grew because both the 70% and the 30% grew bigger?

And if they're owing you, shouldn't you have petitioned RCCGHQ directly by letters, mails to the G.O or to/through the Regional/Provincial Pastors?


DISCLAIMER: THIS IS MY VIEW. I AM NOT, I REPEAT, I AM NOT RCCG NOR RCCGHQ NEITHER DO I HAVE RESERVED AUTHORITY TO SPEAK IN BEHALF OF RCCG

I didn’t expect everyone to believe my statement neither do I care of writing a letter to the HQ. My mum rented the house to the branch parish and not the HQ. I also don’t want to know how payment was made initially before the difficulties in payment. The land was rented to RCCG because it’s a know multi billion naira church enterprise and rent equating to few hundreds of thousands should not be an Everest for them to pay.
We did a business with RCCG and failure to keep with terms results to eviction.

Kotodoctor:



My dad told me similar story you just put out. Truth is members defending this churches are living facing the alter. Let those who are living facing the congregation tell you tales behind the veil.

Am glad my dad was right. It gladden my heart to hear all this. Because this are stories my dad told me about this churches many years ago. He doesnt attend any church this days. Just sit at home and watch the next best thing to a church as far as nigeria is concern. EMMANUEL TV.

He really made the right choice. No need to be hypocrite when things are heading south.

rezzy:


You have said well. This issue is not a problem from daddy Go but from church growth officers and zonal pastors. They keep opening branches here and there just to brag about how many parishes they opened while at a particular province or zone.

OK, likewise my own parish, my husband and assistant pastor pay the rent, zone and province have refused to send money for payment. My husband has complained a lot too but nothing was done, he didn't have any option than to pay from his pocket.

The only problem I have with RCCG is opening mushroom parishes. Like my parish, I don taya to go there, it's 4 years now but it looks like we just started the place.

God forgive if I have sinned

It’s just ridiculous how this has been going on. I get the idea of spreading the gospel but not when you start littering the place like Starbucks; competition with yourself.
I am of a notion that parishes that don’t bring in the desired profits are left to die and the overseer of that parish is left to his own fate. That’s not a nice both in eyes of God, man and even the deviL.

I understand your anger and believe me as human it’s warranted. It’s the endless silence that has made you and your husband to be abandoned and do with a dilapidated structure.

Venica:


l don't know much about what the pastor said but all you said about RCCG is true. very true
I joined RCCG some years ago. but what am seeing now is heartbreaking. My parish was half built with planks. the owner of the land was a member of the church. He lanes the land free to us but later said he could sell it off for 1.4million. we sent out a cry for help to the Area , Zonal and provincial headquarters asking for assistant. We were told to relaxe that the land will be bought soon.
With that assurance the few members start donating funds some giving up two months salaries as we start building the parish. from planks we moved to a complete building. Windows and doors were fixed remaining the paintings
when the owner saw that we have raised the building and the provincial headquarters are yet to give him any money , He gave us a quite notice
we went to the provincial headquarters to complained
They said we should leave the place and look for space elsewhere to rent. as am typing this we are moving to an uncompleted building where we are to pay a rent of 70,000 yearly
what pained me most is that what the church generate from offerings, tithes and others amount to 80,000par month ,but the headquarters will take 90% of the money leaving only 10% to the poor parish. Now all the labours of the poor but dedicated members lies in rains
its well

I am glad to know that my writing is validated. It’s a shame that the HQ is receiving all and allowing the branches to suffer. I have made up my mind and if I am interrupting while passing my messages then I will have no choice than to tell the church and members some hurtful truth and become blind to their pleas. Enough of the business empire on poor peoples funds.
I am also sorry for what has happened to you guys but if I was you I don’t think I can worship in such a church where the leaders are blinded by greed and selfishness.

I hardly comment on Nairaland these days due to the invasion of kids and/or people who wanted to deliberately act stupid for likes and being infamous.
But I have to say something about this RCCG issues. This is a firsthand saying. My mum rented her land to RCCG in Warri and initially they agreed to pay yearly fees of which was being fulfilled. But suddenly there was a delay in payment and my mum ask them that despite their members, offerings, tithes and other donations, why can’t they pay their fees and the pastor told my mum that when the money is collected every Sunday, the elders get the total, take a share of the money to the HQ and give him the remaining for the Maintenance of the church. The little he is given can’t take care of church stuff nor pay rent that’s why he is struggling for rent.
My mum met the elders and ask why is it like that and they said it’s directions from HQ and they are powerless. One funny thing is they told my mum to sow the land to them and God will reward her well. Mum laughed and said God has already rewarded me by making me to buy this land, taking it from me, how will I feed my children?
Till today it is a battle for rent payment by a church whose net worth can be equated to billions of naira. I have decided that on my visit to Nigeria, I will go to the church on Sunday and during testimony will politely give the church 30 days to vacate the land else they will hear from my powerful lawyers who is not only well feared but he’s agnostic, so there won’t be sentiments in his duty.
