How come Joshua did not prophesise the killing of Quaseem Suleimani and the current tension between Iran and USA?

Who doesn’t know that some segment of the Scottish population would increase their demand for an independent Scotland once brexit is sure?

Nigeria is NOT a Muslim nation. Nigeria is NOT a Christian nation. So Benny Hinn should SHUT DA FVCK UP

As he has said many times, population control is necessary in the North. Having children that we can't care for is sinful. Unfortunately, people hide under the "go ye and multiply" mantra to breed without control. Sadly they forget to read or ignore the fact that God states in clear terms that our children are our responsibility.

I am currently watching Trump speaking at UN General Assembly! The guy is quite intelligent and have been speaking off hand for the past one hour!!

After, Buharideens and head slammers will be insulting him and even comparing him with the Dullard at Aso Rock!!

The 2016 US Presidential was fraught with obviously massive fraud. The Russians influenced the election in collusion with Americans BUT

Hillary didn't call for a revolution that would destabilize Trump's government.

All the Democrats did was to ensure there was an inquiry that provided recommendations to Congress and DOJ. Virtually all the culprits have been indicted and jailed.

That is how it's supposed to be and not calling for an ill-willed revolution

On Friday, the Christian Association of Nigeria visited President MuhammaduBuhari to congratulate him on his re-election. During their visit, theyurged the President to observe religious balance in the composition of his cabinet in his second term. They also requested that, for the 9th National Assembly, either the Senate President or Speaker of the House of Representatives should be a Christian. They reasoned that since the President is a Muslim and the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria also professes the Islamic faith, the country needs a Christian in the legislative arm of government to give everyone a sense of fairness and belonging.CAN’s brazenness in making such demands is, perhaps, informed by a similar assault recently against reason by the advocacy group, Muslim Rights Concern. MURIC had asked Buhari to appoint Muslim ministers from five ofthe states in the South-West when he puts the cabinet together. The group claimed that it was theonly way to redress the imbalance of having only one Muslim governor in the geopolitical zone.Now, when confrontedwith this kind of an impasse, there is a tendency to resort to the predictable response that the overriding determinant in makingthese appointments should be merit and not religion. We shouldmove past that level already since the logicis too basic to penetrate the minds of those who need it. Those of us who have a liberal mindset towards religious identity politics need to take those who advocate religion as qualification seriously. We should treat their demands with the same gravity as politicians do. Just last year, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, while responding to charges of nepotism in Buhari’s government, claimed that Christians outnumber Muslims in Federal Government appointments. He pointed out that although the cabinet had 18 Christians and 18 Muslims, the former still upend thelatter since both the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Head of Service are Christians.The preciseness of Osinbajo’s response shows that they do not toy with the opticsof religious politics. Itis a reality of our political situation thatreligion has become an idea of merit and we should deal with it on those terms. As a society, we have long arrived at a point where our politics have been reduced to the worship of the twin Baal of geopolitics and religious partisanship.In the last election, the tribes of the electoral candidates and their religion featured more in our discourses than their leadership capability. There is almost a consensus that all the candidates are equally meritocratic — or incompetent — and so nobody wastes time weighing their administrative abilities. They only need to get into office and things will sort themselves out.

Following CAN’s suggestion that Buhari should observe“ethnic and religious” balance in future appointments, I suggest that slots should be reserved for atheists as well. They too deserve representation.I know that such a suggestion immediately puts us in a messy terrain. Who is a “Christian” or “Muslim” in Nigerian politics anyway? The Nigerian political class is mostly composed of moral nihilists, or at best, agnostics. The others mix their putative religion with patronisingBabalawosin their shrines at night. During the day, they all claim a Muslim or Christian religious identity because they have no choice. All political appointmentsare distributed between both sides; there is nothing ever set aside for those who fall outside the religious boxes.

I acknowledge that there are many religious movements outside the Christian/Muslim dichotomy and they also deserve to be represented in government. However,we have to be mindful of the fact that too many faiths will stall appointments. In 2015, it took six months to select 18 Christians and 18 Muslims. We do not need that kind of slow motion this time. Besides, the Babalawos are already represented through proxies — thepoliticians who go to shrines to optimise their access to supernatural power by mixing and matching the Abrahamic God with Africanist beliefs. Atheists are the only ones who have been consciously left out ofthe party and there are many good reasons they deserve a seat at the table.

One, atheists do not have a smokescreen that enables them to falsely propagate virtues they do not have. If an atheist in apolitical office turns out to be as corrupt as their religious counterparts, it is easier to take them down. We will not have to blow their religious decoy to reveal their hypocrisy. They are not superstitious. So they are not going to blame a money-eatingsnake; nor are they going to attribute their susceptibility to temptation to Satan. They will admit they did it because they toowant to enjoy the good life. Simple.

Two, since they will not be going to churchor mosque for any reason, they are not likely to loot public funds as much as those who wear their religion with their agbada robes. They donot have any religious leader to “settle,” andnobody is going to ask them to donate a building to their church or mosque. Think of how much money Nigeria will save if the corruption pipeline that runs from public offices toreligious houses were cut off.

Three, if an atheist rigs an election, he will keep the illegitimate victory to himself, at least. He will not go to church to share a “God did it” testimony. Nigerian politicians attribute their victory at the polls to God, even when they rob the collective wealth to fund those elections. By going to church or mosque to register their gratitude, they are legitimising a lie and manipulating people. Atheists will not do that.

Four, atheists will approach their work with far more clear-headedness since theydo not believe that any God is guiding their affairs. They will not ape a minister whose chief requirement before appointments is “fear of God.” Also, becausethey know they do not have a godfather, there is the marginal possibility they would be better behaved in government.

Five, there are not enough atheists in the world at present to form a religious movement. For the most part, they walk alone. The upside is that there will not be organisations like either CAN or MURIC to canvass for anything on their behalf.

Six, and this is important – atheists will be invaluable to the government because they typicallyquestion received knowledge. They do not attribute human phenomenon to some supernatural force. They are quite rational. It is no coincidence that some of the most developedcountries in the world today are full of atheists, while the ones that are religious by default are, by all indices, mostly backward. There is a correlation between giving room for probing questions.
I could go on and on, but you should be convinced by now that atheists deserve cabinet positions because their atheism is enough merit to qualify them for the job. If Christians and Muslims can advance such logic, then we should extend it to atheists as well. It is only fair. By the way, I believe that Nigeria probably has more non-believers than believers. However, because most social goodies are divided based on religion, many people indulge in the rituals of worship to a God they do not care for. It is time to open the religious closet and free our politicians from their hypocrisy. There are multiple benefits to be derivedfrom such openness. Nobody will be disqualified for a position they might actually qualify for on account of not being either Christian or Muslim. Even much better, nobody has to pretend they believe in God so they can be appointed to such positions. And the best part of it? People like Prof. Akintola and the leadership of CAN willgo find another job.

Note:This is not a thread for APC family,I'm only talking to those that do lot want Buhari Again...

Note:this message seems Biased.... but I'm writing it out of love for Nigeria.

I want you to note this few points before going out to vote.

1. From all indications it obvious Buhari is not capable to rule the country,He's been forced by some people.

2.The best Candidate never wins... Sowere would've been the right candidate,but surely Je can't win and He knows.

3.If you and I agreed to vote for Sowore He won't still wins because of the population of Hell bent youth and illiteracy.

4.North is a factor to consider and will always be a factor (Reason Atiku won the primary over the likes of Dukes)

5.you can vote for Sowore and his likes... But be sure it's a solidarity vote.

6.Our best shot is to vote for the candidate that has the capability to win over APC...Thus I'm saying Atiku is our best option.

7.Atiku is our best option not the best candidate.

8.If we vote Buhari out ,Nigerians will be establishing a strong message that's "the power truly belongs to the Masses,if you under perform you're gone ".... let's not miss the chance to make that established.

9.please let's not sell our votes.

10. We've tried Buhari ,He has absolutely nothing to offer,let's give Atiku a chance... if he act like Buhari ... we pick someone else 2022.

11.dont give up on Nigeria yet.... you and I can make a change... we keep trying till we get it.

Vote not fight.












You are on point .........salute
Thank you.

Hmmmm, lately I've bn crying more than I can remember, as I type this I'm crying. Each time I remember I'm a Nigerian, living in Nigeria and that buhari is the president, my soul weeps and tears gushes out.

Wish we can trade places before coming into this world, cus even if you travel out and nationalize elsewhere the reality of u having roots in this damnation is depressing and sorrowful.

ChiefAzubuike:
The Nigerian military is a huge joke. Other countries are displaying nukes, raptors , B 29, etc our very own soldiers are displaying muscles. I was at Jalalabad, Afghanistan for a conference some years back, I was so impressed with what I saw. Well equipped and well trained Afghan soldiers dedicated to tackle the Taliban. Immediately, I reminisced about my home country Nigeria as I shook my head vigorously is disgust. All our soldiers know is to flex muscles with their rusty Kalashnikov's that can't even fire a round without jamming. Lease tell those people say na bullets, explosives and TNT dey fight war no be muscles. I know you need to be fit for close range combats but our soldiers have taken it to a whole new level. And when there's nobody to fight, they look for the nearest civilian to test their strength. Lets assume the Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Tukur Buratai enlists for the US army today, I bet he won't even be worthy of a sergeant rank. I know you might be reading this sir but if you want to find me , PM me let me tell you where to meet me.

Tommy34:
I'm a 22 years old boy who's been constantly torn apart from within, I have always been seen as the black sheep in the family, I mean everything I do comes back to haunt me. I finished secondary school 2013, took Jamb but didn't get through, then 2015 came and got a pre-degree form for Adekunle ajasin University located in Ondo. I scaled through the exams, got admitted but I need was to pass Jamb for the same year. I didn't make the cut off.
  I was so ashamed of myself but I believed I still had time, so I came up with a lie, what I was going to do was pretend I actually got admitted to the school, then with the money given to me, I would get another Jamb, pass it and be a student...
  Unluckily for me, I got found out by my cousin in school who told my family, now they are requesting for my matric number and password, which I don't have. I'm too deep in the lie to say the truth because I know I'm most likely going to be disowned (my dad has made that clear). Now I'm thinking about cutting ties, staying in school and try to come up with some money so I can really be in school and study.. only then can I tell them what happened.. I don't know, I'm pretty confused and would be grateful to any advice, I'm lost but I'm hoping to find my way..
