I thought some of you used to shout name them! Name them! Name them! They have named them now, why are you complaining again? Na wa oh!

karl max: Those who still think bakare is a man off God,can they point to the bible where a prophet of God ran for a political position,like becoming the king or ruler?.where in the bible did a true prophet of God was a card carrying member of a political party and at the same Time a preacher in God's church?. Bakare should read this verses of the bible that the group recommended to him.
I pity his followers.

2 Timothy 2:24 which is that "And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful."

Biggyd2: If only our law enforcement agents and the courts will be this swift when it comes to prosecuting corrupt politicians...

The Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly, Tunde BAKARE is synonymous with controversy and activism. In recent times he has come his position as a pastor has come under scrutiny following his veering into politics by accepting to be the Vice Presidential candidate to Muhammed Buhari, a staunch Muslim under the umbrella of the CPC. Failure his failure in that election, Bakare had become rather aggressive, exhibiting characters unbecoming of a man of God. Many argue that PTB was simply venting his frustration and desperation for power.
The question is, if PTB is such a great man of God, if he is so loved, if people like his teachings so greatly, the question is:
i. Why has his church remained just a branch in the whole federation?
ii. Why hasn’t the church spread to other branches in Lagos or other part of the country like redeemed, Winners, Dunamis, House on the Rock, TREM, Christ Embassy etc
iii. Why is he the only pastor of the church?
iv. Is his inability to grow his church beyond one branch an indication of his failure as a pastor?
v. Is his limited membership a pointer that Nigerians don’t take him serious as a Pastor?
vi. Is he trying to make up for this failure as a pastor by going into politics?
vii. Is he trying to raise the profile of his obscure church in Lagos by constantly being in the news?
viii. If as a Pastor he can display such level of arrogance in his utterances and actions, can he respect our rights as a politician?
Objectively speaking, Can Pastor Tunde Bakare be trusted??

Billyonaire: Many of them will find their way back into the Private companies that will run the sector. After all they have many years of "cut and connect" syndrome

kutchs: Even those who try to ‘correct‘ them are no better. If the woman has broken any law, I demand that you take her to court or keep shut.

Super1759: Who are this ones seeking public notice?

chucky234: More drama awaits Nigerians,can't stop laughing

kutchs: What does it mean to surety someone? The answer is to guarantee that someone will do something. Has she broken any law or contravened any moral code by guaranteeing that her suretee will appear anytime the courts needs him? I find it difficult to undestand why we are vexed. She will only become criminal when she fails to produce her suretee at any appointed day. You guys should give it a rest.

Elueme: Mrs Ali is an adult and Nigerian like you and i whose child and an associate is standing trial.. She's at liberty to stand as surety for her son and friend just as a true mother will do for her son.. Is that worth a news or criticism? What points are you guys making? Are you from this planet? You pigs!. Why call PDP... Is Wale Tinubu a relative of Ahmed Tinubu your pay master not in this subsidy scam? Abi Tinubu no get shares for Oando?
To the unbiased Nigerians viewing or commenting on this thread, let's see this fuel subsidy imbroglio beyond partisanship as these low brains are trying to mislead this forum to believe but rather a national course for the soul of our dear country..

OmanIman: The Senate President, David Mark said recently that social media in Nigeria should be restricted, as Nigerians use social media to criticize their leaders with no opportunity for retraction. Is this morally justified or is it a declaration of war on peoples fundamental human rights, freedom of expression and freedom of information bill?Is this even constitutional? Imagine a world where social media becomes restricted and we cant access sites like Nairaland! What will you do?

werepeLeri: You support someone, I support someone, but why do you see my support for GEJ as an offence? Why does it bother you? Why do you cry and sob and call people who support GEJ names? It beats me how a sane person will see people's support for GEJ as an offence. Why? Sometimes I just laugh it off as a product of a deranged soul. Why do you think like a lizard like that?

Nigerians have no right to cheap fuel. We do not provide cheap vehicles, if anything our vehicles are more expensive in Nigeria than other parts of the world, so why do think we have the right to cheap petrol?

Yes, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweal is right, majority of the mass carrying public transport in Nigeria is diesel driven, our factories run on diesel generators. The use of petrol is usually in the 'last mile' delivery. the beneficiary of cheap petrol is the guy in Lekki with 2 SUV's and Camry to take the children to school. Your poor Okada rider fills his tank with N200 or less, total removal of subsidy will raise this to N350!!

Yes prices will go up, but they will level out. anytime there is an increase in fuel costs, transporters in particular 'double' their prices, but in truth this doesn't last long. A 'hiace bus' carrying 15 passengers full tank rises from N2500 to N4000 does not have to increase the charge per passenger from N150 to N300 to cover the difference. The transporters soon learn this lessen when there is drop in passenger numbers.

Nigeria President has declared that he has the right to rule more than eight years in office. Recently, he stated that its too early to declare his stance on 2015 during his presidential media chat. But based on his claim below, every reasonable Nigerian should be able to read their president's mindset. Please read full details below.

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday affirmed that his stay in office could legally go beyond eight years under certain conditions.

Jonathan told an Abuja High Court hearing a suit against his alleged 2015 re-election bid. Jonathan while responding in a suit asking the court to declare him ineligible to run for re-election because that would extend his tenure beyond the maximum eight years provided by the constitution, given that he took over as President in May 2010 after the death of then-President Yar’Adua.

The case was filed by Peoples Democratic Party presidential aspirant, Mr Cyriacus Njoku, on March 20 seeking the determination of section 135 (2) and 137 (1) of the Constitution which limit presidential tenure to maximum of two terms of four years each.

Njoku is asking the court to determine whether in spite of these provisions President Jonathan can seek re-election and take a third oath of office having already taken oaths twice, first on May 6, 2010 after Yar’Adua’s death and then on May 29, 2011 after the general elections.

Yesterday, while arguing the substantive motion, counsel to Njoku, Mr Ugochukwu Osuagwu, cited the Supreme Court decision in January on General Buba Marwa and INEC where it held that no elected person can stay in office beyond an initial term of four years. This was the ruling that affected the tenure of the five governors who won re-run elections in 2008.

But counsel to Jonathan, Mr Kenechukwu Nomeh, who represented Mr Ade Okeaya-Inneh (SAN), argued that under section 315 (3) of the constitution, a president could stay in office for additional time beyond his tenure in certain circumstances.

“The tenure of occupant of an office can be extended by the National Assembly for six months in following conditions: when the nation is at war and in situation of death of the occupant of the office which applies to President Jonathan,” he said.

Also citing the decision of the Supreme Court on Ojukwu and Obasanjo in 2004, Nomeh argued that section 137 (1) (d) contemplated a “person elected into office twice” not by appointment into same office though both entails oath taking.

He urged the court to dismiss the suit for being incompetent and premature.

Also in its counter affidavit, the PDP represented by Mr I. C. Paul argued that under section 137 of the constitution, Jonathan was only elected once into office in April 2011 and still “has the right to contest for a fresh term if he so wishes.”

Earlier, Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi overruled an objection by Jonathan and the PDP that a certain newspaper publication is not a sufficient cause of action. The publication in question, marked Exhibit VRA 1, is the Punch newspaper of March 16, 2012, which contained a statement credited to the Jonathan’s spokesman Reuben Abati alluding to the President’s intention to seek re-election.
Oniyangi also upheld the submission of Mr Njoku that the suit being a constitutional matter, he needed not show evidence of sufficient interest as locus standi to institute the action.
October 18, has been fixed for next judgement, considering that the annual vacation of the FCT High Court begins on August 6.

Okontami: @ Poster and All: You guys need a little more exposure. That is how all invitation letters from SSS, EFCC or Security agencies are written. I have been invited by these outfits twice and the same words were used un edited. They will maintain that you are the one to interview them. I rejected the EFCC letter in 2010 and they sent me a reminder stating the same statement. Guys get close to any law enforcement agency and you will know that that is the correct syntax in their discipline. No body should try to argue with me blindly.
