I tell you this, Nigeria will be better off if every state manages it's resources, and provides a qouta to the fed govt. either that or Nigeria dissolves into six regions. The north over time has lost it's essence, the depend heavily on revenue from crude oil, without it they will surely suffer economical, political and social crisies. not just the north every state except from lagos. Lagos is the only state that can be self sufficient. There's one thing I know as long as we continue like this Nigeria will grow at a very slow rate, the vision 2020 will never be realised. We need true federalism thats the way out to growth and development. God help us.

I totaly agree with you, but the real truth is that, truth hurts. By bashing I dont mean causing any means of animosity towards any church, we need to addresss some certain isssues that affects the core values of the way of life our Lord Jesus taught about in the gospel, and if addressing this core issues could be termed as bashing well I guess I'll bash then. We need to defend the cause of christianity, it has never been an easy task, history can tell, but I will start my part and I know this trend will grow for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is so much polarization in christiandom, God help us

According to my understanding I believe that Jesus Christ, had existed as the word of God, before he took the human form. The gospel according to John makes it clear, John the author was among the closest disciples to Jesus Christ, so he's declaration of Jesus as the word of God should be highly considered. The Word of God is an active force of God's very action, It is the only way that can prove Jesus Christ and God inseparable, I dent want to believe that Jesus was just another guy in heaven, He's the word, made flesh, and died for we sinners that we might be saved, resurrected and ascended to the father to sit on the right hand of God's throne, Thats how I see it.

In some cases it is best you call a spade a spade in order to prove your point, even Jesus Christ did some serious bashing in the temple in Jerusalem. This is a very serious issue and it needs to be addressed. Some may just over look it and say who cares, but it is essential that believers in Christ, Christians must unite for the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Bring it on I'm ready to play ball

Oh boy ye!!! I'm no scholar of the bible but I know this, the Bible especially the old testament is part of the ancient book of the jewish religion. The Jews happen to be culture, a certain way of life for somepeople you have their beliefs deeply rooted in the torah. Now let me try and clearify somethings here, In every cultue there is a religion. Look at history of the world every society, has got a culture and religion happens to be an aspect of that culuter, what does that tell you it tells you that there is something sacred about the way of life of man, and that's were God comes in, every known culture has got religion therefor every known culture believes that there's a supernatural aspect in man's life that affects his existence, So that means there is God, God exists.
About Noah, the book was wrtten by Moses, He was inspired to write the book, it is part jewish mythodolgy and it's sacred to them. Every religion has it's mythodology like the greeks and mount olympus n stuffs like that, those things appear to be sacred to them. The writing of noah carrys alot of significance, I tell you that moses was inspired by God to write it, Just as he was inspired by God to write about the creation of the world.

I am not just bashing the catholic church but every church, evry church that has become an institiution, evry church that has turned itself into a multi million enterprise and live in great affluence and humanity(many) suffers in penury, evry church with their hands stained with blood, the problem we have is what the church has planted in our hearts, contempt for other denominations, distrust, animosity, n all sort. We need to break through this polarization, Jesus is the center of christianity not any church of any kind, we are the church of our Lord Jeses Christ, and we will all outlive the institiuttion has has brought about so much hate amongst christianity. We need to go back and understand the teachings of Christ in the bible wether catholic or protestant version His teachings superceedes all the dispositions made by any church institiution, that I know, thats the only way we can unite in Christ.

I see myslef as a christian, I dnt need to be a catholic to be saved nor a protestatant, I need to be lieve in Christ Jesus as Lord n personal saviour, I need to leabe by His teachings, preach the gospel to all, and do my service to humanity, I believe in heaven the so called curches will have no relevance but our deeds will. One thing many of us get wrong is that the church is not the structures nor intstiutions but the church of God is we christians, I believe we have lost our relevance beacuse we so much depend on the structure church the institiution church and all that, many of us cant even pray for oursleves, God help us, we are like adults in dipers with a suckle in our mouth, we need to wake up, we have so much power in us, just imagine every christian like Jesus, or like paul or peter the apostels imagine the impact we will make in the world. The early churches made heroes but after it was overwhelmed victims were made n are still being made, but we can have an awareness in our hearts and become heroes, the church is in us in our hearts and Jesus is the head. Think about it if christianity can view the church in them now tell me how is it possible for an individual to be against it or have so much cotempt or division, reason with me me folks.

Well, It seems we will never know until the end times. if I was born a muslim, groomed a muslim and raised , I will stand by islam but it will take alot for me to realise that I will hve to change to another religion that suites my status quo, I dont blame you guys at all, you see nothing in my previuos explanations I am not agianst the catholic church niether am I against the protestants, The real point is that the core values of christianity has been overwhelmed, that is why those glorious times when Jesus and apostels did great miracles are hardly authentically heard of or done, that is why we have pastors doing magic or juju insome cases to perform miracles that is why you dont see men of God on the streets healing people as in the days of old, that is why there is so much business in the church of God, that is why is why things are so different from what the bible tells about the early church and early christiandom. I want you guys to tlak to n lets iron this out, this is a real issue lets not be biased. I studied philosophy in school that was what led me to have a critical appraoch to things, I am a christian, n I am not anti church, i am only trying why there's so much difference in what Jesus started and what we have now, you know in your hearts that there's alot of diff, you exactly what i'm talking about but prejudice wont allow you open up. Jesus knew that the church will be pervaded he predidcted it, but the truth is we as individauls are the church of God not an instituition we are the church and Jesus is the head, why cant just take our time and read what Jesus taught about let us try and understand the Gospel of christ. There is so much division in the church of God it didnt start after the reformation it started far back when empires calimed more relevance in churchdom an example is the latin church of byzatuim church that is the roman catholic church and the eastern othordox church, caused by a division in the roman empire, i dnt really talk about history now, but Lets try n see how we christians can embrace each other beacuse we believe in Christ and we share his testimony, Let us try as individauls to end centuries of disputes let us over look the walls of our churches and strecth our hands to one another in unity in Christ. It's a mental thing I'm not saying we should leave our churches for another I'm saying let us creat an awareness in our hearts from the knowlegde taught in the teaching of Christ in the bible, that as Long as we believe in Christ Jesus, share his testimony, and live by his teachings we are saved, let us be aware of equality, faorness charity love sacrifice and evry qaulity that Jesus showed let us do it,we need unify. We need too. Many of you may think I'm being pointless but the problem is that we rather heart what the leaders of the church decrees than waht Jesus taught, If you read the teachings of Jesus Christ whom you claim to be your Lord n saviour, if you read those teachings you'll see exactly what I am talking about.

We will never understand the problem unless we look at it from the source. We are christitans, many of us dont see it that way, we christians are polarized by denominations, and this denominations is the main cause of all these hate, contempt and you name it. I'm a lover of history, and history tells me so much about the origin of christianity, and how christianity was overwhelmed by empires for political and other reasons. It first started with armenia, then twenty years later rome, and much later the division between the latin rome and eastern rome(roman catholic church and eastern othodox church). And other churches of other nations. Due to the vastness of the roman empire, the roman catholic church was the dominant church and because rome conquered europe and most of civilisation, the church was instigated as the sole religion. Blah blah blah and blah this is all history, but lets try n ask was this how christianity was supposed to be. The Roman catholic church was responsible for the crusade which caused the deaths of millions of people, innocent, infants, able bodied you name it,. Now tell me something will Jesus ever allow violence to prevail over peace, you try and answer. Centuries later there was a problem, a big problem that caused a reformation, which the roman catholics term as protestants, now we have thousands of different churches claiming to be relevant, thousand of churches who concern themselves with material benefits, biz interests sometimes you can hardly tell the diff btw a missionary school and a private school because both are pretty expensive, many pastors live bouyant lives in luxury n you name it, is that what Jesus intented for christianity, try an an answer that pls, Every church will have a lot to answer when they return to their maker. I tell you Jesus is the cetre of our faith, thank God for the bible that still stands today inspite of all the modifications of churches that has been occuring fromm the 4th century till now. You want to know about christianity read the new testaments and ask God for knowledge and understanding and you will see every thing you need to be a christian, Church is good but be careful these churches were made by men and modified to suite their purpose, jesus said many are called but few are chosen, He has given you the word, the bible then read it anything you see contradictory then you beging to question, go to church praise him worship him, learn and take your time to learn by yourslfe dnt be lazy dnt be a dummy christian, be an active one, You will be held responsible not your church, Read the Bible please I beg you all, sorry about my typo erros in a hurry. Later folks

You see the problem we christains have can be rooted to the times when christianity was hijacked centuries ago from it's purest form. The truth is that christianity has lost its core values. I'll explain, when Jesus Christ walked the earth the form of christianity was more like a sefless movement, compare it to what we have now. Evry church is guilty, because what we have is an instituiton which focuses itself on special interest based on their influence, not the sefless act portrayed by Jesus and His deciples. Look at the history of the Christian chuch from the advent of the roman catholic churh, the reformers and present day church. You will find atrocities from bloodshed of the crusades, power thirst, money hungry interests lobbyst, just name it it can go on and on. The chucrh is more like an institution made to gain control of individuals. That was Romes intention when they made christianity the national religion of the roman empire, a move which enveloped the early christians. christianity was made or fashioned to control and check citizens of the empire, and to be called a roman citizen you must be a christian. That was the begining of the decay of the christian church, that was the change that has caused more bloodshed than any cause you can ever imagine, that has caused hatreth, even quarelle among people and disputes, like we have now. but what The word of God still stands, and that is our guide. I'm not saying the church is evil or bad let us play our path as christians, let us overlookall this my church this my church that, let see ourselves as christians, believers in christ

Just wanna appreciate everyone for their concern. To some people who doubt my sincerity, what can I say, I'm just being expressive, this matter is critical to me that was why I posted it, I owe you pips no further explanations. To those caring folks out there thanks once again.

hey just browsing through and bumped into this, I think you are very creative, all you need is a little more effort in creating awarness. Really it's a great idea, but you can realize alot customers if you you try harder in locating them. first Identify you customers, what socail class do you think you wanna attract. students, cooperate workers, house wives, shop owners, the list can go on and on. Secondly you will have to spend some etxra cash on flyers colourful attractive ones with details, get a logo infact brand yourself, then you can then take it out to your customers and after that you will smile to the bank, trust me. I am an expert on marketing, I guess. you take care and all the best.

thanks alot, I wish it was that easy to just pick like that, thanks once again

Hi, I'm an introvert, I dont really have friends. My girl friend for many years just left me because her parents dont like the fact that I am yoruba and she's ibo. It's been a week since she's gone after about 2 years of fighting, she said it's a battle we cant win. I'm a fighter but she's not, this is about the 8th time she's pulled, she's grown weak and I dont blame her, her whole family is against it. I'm lonely and I have occupied my time with work, oh poor me

Try this. When next you pray, say to Jesus ==> Lord, l love you so much; but I think your mother is a useless woman.
@ imhotep


I think you got a seriuos problem, I have great respect for mary, she gave birth to Jesus, She's blessed amogst women. May God have mercy on you for your contempt. I see nothing wrong in given honor to mary, she deserves it, but the fact that she's been addressed as a mediator, termed queen of heaven, mother of the church etc. I have respect for the catholic church but have my differences, the church is sefless dedicated in preaching the gospel and sacrificial services than any church I know. Every church has it's problems.

We as christians are expected to reason with the teachings of Jesus, Read and understand about the gospel of the new testament and then you will know in your heart the truth. Dont be totally blinded by dogma,. Jesus never would allow such address to his mum, he even calls her "WOMAN". Jesus is our only mediator to God, it's clear in the bible. You see the problem is the fact that the church christianity was hijacked and then modified by pagans, to suit there preference, that is why we have all these about mary this and mary that, read about history of rome thier religion, you will have an idea. Rome adopted christianty and being the world power, enforced christianity as the empires religon, they tried as much as they could to uphold the core christian values, but still left some patches.

Let me tell you something, I do attend mass, my girlfriend was catholic, so I took keen interest in knowing what the chuch is all about. The catholic, has contributed alot to the emergence of christianity, ever since it was made the national religion of the Roman empire. The catholic church was the second national church at that time around the 4th century ad, the first was the armenian church which was made a  national religion of armenia 20 years before the catholic church. The catholic church was very much responsibel in compiling the bible, and many other practices used today in churches world wide. Although the church accepts Jesus as lord and savior, but the highest authority under heaven is from the vatican, they regard the church as the higest authority under heaven, so what the church decrees is what will stand. The divinity given to mary is just too gigantic she's a servant of God, a vessel, God uses human beings to carry out his mission on earth, so how can mary be addressed as such,. I have many differences with their belief but they preach the gospel and thats what important.

I think it is time we get things done in a more legitimate way. How long are we goimg to accept all these rigging. The greatest crime is when a citizen is robbed from his/her vote. How so you expect this country to move forward when every time someone comes out to contest and eventually wasted his money time, reourcefullness, vision and aspiration to impact because some group of politicians have someone on ground. We will not get anywhere unless everyone is gven a fair game in democracy. justice must prevail, dont ever compromise.

Well I wanna express my view this way. There is a God for every man. every society has got a God. This it the truth, lets go back to history. every culture or man believes that there is a supernatural force that manifest in his daily affairs, and knowing this enabled man to fuse in the cultural aspect of REILGION in his way of life. Christianity as an offshot of Judaism which is the riligion of the Jews, now do you get my point. before the white man came to africa, africans had there own form of religion based on variuos societies. even outside africa in asia we have the hindu, budah, an many others and all these religion do have supernatural manifestations. I am a christian by faith because I was born in a christian home and groomed that way it is my faith. Christainity has gone through variuos ramifications according to history, it is not a sham. it is a means of identifying a belief in the supernatural. But there's alot we dont know, we can argue but we cant get the ultimate. maybe when one dies one will know the truth about life and God. This issue is philosophical rather metaphysical and therefore cannot hold water for as long as arguement is being raised they will be criticism. the only way to know is probably death when the spirit leaves the body and returns to the source, peharps

I beileve in change, I belive in creativity, I believe in innovative ability, I believe in Dynamism. These are some of the qualities I see in Chris okotie. If there's one thing that really inspires me about Chris okotie, is his effrontery, This man's bold. It takes more than just a man with his balls in his hand to make advents towards becoming a president, he sees beyond the imposiblities. He believes, With his God, little resources and beleif his set to conqure the presidency: all things are possible for all those who believe.

It is a pity that many youths are blinded with doubts in this man. I dont blame them. They have been influence by misrule and they remain casaulties of all the mal-administration we've been having. This man has excelled in his dreams, history can tell, because he believes and I know the chances are very slim, but we will all live to see this man become president and then we will know for sure the stuff this man is made of. Look at many of the president in the western world, young, full of energy, eloquent etc dont you see most of those qualities in Chris. This man made his fortune by his hands not by means of crook or fraud unlike 99.9999% of those guys who wanna be president, in his 20's he made his fortune out of his gift from God. He knows the game, and I can bet when president he will be able to use the gift of our great country NIGERIA for the benefit of Nigerians, that will yeild great fortune for us all, we need people of such boldness and adventure who can use what they have to make way for them and for many. This man has brought smiles and and lots more advantages into many people's lives, and he aint president yet. I believe He's a conqurer

It baffels me when I hear youth argue that IBB and co will be thier choice for the next precidency, how pathetic. Well, to me I think many youth love enduring misrule, they have a gigantic endurance capacity, but there's a limit to everything. some people say that the demon you know is better than the Angel you dont know, well thats their opinion about life. To all those guys with such opinion the demon you know will continue to kill you slowly until there's nothing left of you. NIGERIAN YOUTH WAKE UP. It is time for a change. We need a Vibrant leader with charisma,a high level of intelligence, charm, lots of energy, eloquent, polished,rightoues and not to talk of Good looking. hey come on When he becomes president and he's through with his tenure, if at all he fails it will reflect on his ministry and history will never forget. Do the right thing, everytime a good guy fails to become president many people die of hunger, sickness, insecurity, and many ills I dont wanna mention. God Help Us. Amen.
