felixomor: Between SAns and the evil cabal bubu is working with, Who is richer? Abegi. The army is yet to officially deny the atrocities they committed on video that Fein raised. So I dont know the facts you are talking about. The best they could do is that that they(army) are investigating till tomorrow.
On this issue, we can only deceive ourselves If the govt is serious, let them take Fein to International court with their own best lawyer, if fear no grip them.
If govt decides to engage Fein at the international level, you can be sure they would go for a lawyer as good as, if not better than Fein. Fein has also lost cases to other better lawyers before.... he is not perfect.
Jaideyone: idiotic opinions indeed. were most yorubas not neutral prior to kanu's calling us out on radio and labelling us awusa slaves? KANU has the right to insult us but we don't have the right to fight back. the joke is on you
Not only that, the person saying that men from other ethnic groups who married their women should keep out of their affairs, has forgotten the number of Yoruba and non-Igbo people who came out to condemn the Army's conduct of Operation Python dance in Aba, Kanu's hometown, and offer them support. Femi Falana, Fayose and a few others come to mind. None of these Igbo guys on this thread, came out then to say they should keep quiet or that it was their family matter.
Dedetwo: There is no manner of tricks that will force me to even contemplate the ides of disclosing any affair I had with a woman being her Igbo, Yari.ba or Hausawa. Even if I am drunk to stupor, blank remains my memory on this issue.
When you knew you had no facts to disclose, why did you start boasting initially that you had dated Yoruba women who later married Obas....?? At your age, you shouldn't be making such empty boasts, o!
Dedetwo: Please speak on educated issue and leave insinuation to the birds. There is no chance you have the knowledge of any Yari.ba lady who crossed part with me before her marriage. I can say unequivocally that Igbo men threat their women better than men from other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. Any woman or man who had been divorced is a leftover.
No chance? You are too amusing for words. How many Yoruba women did you date, who eventually married Obas? 1, 2, 3 or 10? What are the names of the Obas they married? Let us start from there.....
felixomor: The Law is a business abi? Is it politics in nigeria that is not a business? Or is the daura oppression that bubu is championing that is not a business? Which is more clean? Lets call a spade a spade. Linus Idahosa went to disgrace himself.
That is your opinion. If a more savvy, articulate Nigerian grounded with better facts, data and knowledge of the situation on ground, engaged Fein, the result would be different. Like politics, the law is a business - a big business at that. A lot of SANS in Nigeria today are among the richest men in town.
Dedetwo: There is no dignity spilt is this discourse. Linus Idahosa married an Igbo lady allegedly sent away from a previous marriage. The funny part is that the lady does not go with Idahosa as a name. What a joke.
Are you the certifier for women married to Oba(s)? What the hell do you know about the ladies married to Oba(s)?
No need to swear. I know more than you think about women married to Obas. Stephanie calls herself Stephanie Okereke-Linus. Is Linus still not part of her husband's name? As long as the husband does not object, why should you? As for a woman getting divorced from an Igbo man who treated her badly, I think the Igbo man should be ashamed of himself for not being able to keep his wife happily under his roof. I know several Igbo women who are divorced, but still ended up marrying other Igbo men, too. Are they still leftovers? What about Igbo women who divorced non-Igbo men, are they leftovers too? Your fellow Igbo man disrespected his Igbo sisters by labelling them with a disgusting tag, and you still see nothing wrong in it.... sad!
gemale: I have been to both & even once got baptized in redeemed but I was led back to the catholic church. There, the word is preached without sweetening. It is plain, take it or leave. No need for oratory prowess & catchy slogans. They don't have to package it or make it attractive. It is less on the ephemeral & more on the eternal. I don't have to know or like the priest's style. He doesn't have to say what I want to hear. In fact, I like it when he says what I don't want to hear. I just get the message & try to apply it as the Spirit of God directs. Whether the choristers have croaky or angelic voices is not my business. Whether there is AC, fan or nothing there doesn't concern me. I'm indifferent whether the ushers smile or frown, are polite or rude. All I want is to hear God's word, pray & receive Jesus body, blood, soul & divinity in the sacrament of the Eucharist. I ask myself "if the rapture happened & God forbid, i missed it, would I still be looking at all these things? Would I be listening raptly to someone testifying how God blessed him with a huge contract because he sowed or how a sister finally got married after a long search? ". Anybody who needs to still be petted & cajoled with fancy words to forsake iniquity & do God's will needs to closely examine him/herself well.
Oga, nobody is being petted with any sweet words or cajoling. I did not go looking for oratory or catchy slogans. I went for the Word of God, and prayers. Have all the people in your own church forsaken iniquity, or are they all doing God's will? I cannot tell a pastor what to preach, since I did not anoint him. You went back to a church that works for you, and I decided to enter a church that works for me. We are not the same people. The Holy Communion is also served in RCCG. So there really is no need for any long talk. Peace.
felixomor: I am ashamed of Linus Idahosa in this video.
Anyway, he is saying his own opinion. He was busy whipping sentiments when confronted with questions telling them how nigeria helped south africa fight apartheid. Shame.
Even the south africa we fought for better pass us today. They are even fighting nigerians in their country.
The guy should go and hide his head.
Linus obviously did not do his homework well, before going on air to engage Bruce Fein, who is a well-known litigator. The truth is that Fein would have thoroughly researched his subject, before opening his mouth to talk. Do you know how many aides and research assistants work with Fein? Before any public figure in America agrees to go on air, they would have studied their subject thoroughly, and even done background research on the other party, that would be speaking to them.
But those who think Fein is supporting the Igbo because he believes in their ideology, are sadly mistaken. Fein is just earning his pay, because he has been hired by the Igbo in America for a fee, and he wants to win his case in order to justify those huge fees. As the number of cases he wins, would boost his already increasing profile.
Tomorrow, another country may hire him to argue their case, on why separatist movements are evil, and why self-determination is not a feasible option for any ethnic group, within their own country. Fein would take the same brief and argue it brilliantly, simply because that is what he does for a living. It has nothing to do with morality, or believing in a just cause. The law is simply a business.
Dedetwo: Only dumbass jackasses from certain ethnicity will even kiss a lady and have the audacity to make it public. Some of us who have dinned and played with ladies in Yari.ba land who later married Oba(s) will never publicly disclose such an encounter. A real man does not kiss and tell.
Nothing stops you from kissing and telling. You just want to pretend to the rest of us here, that you actually you dated a lady who later married an Oba, when we all know such a thing never happened?? You are truly a very funny man.... yet, you cannot see anything wrong in a man disrespecting and insulting women from your ethnic group, by calling them leftovers. If someone from another ethnic group said that about Igbo women, you would be up in arms against them. But your fellow Igbo man has used his mouth to wipe their dignity on the floor.... and you said nothing, but turned round to complain about those who kiss and tell! How strange.....
Why should Linus Idahosa go and confront the Nigerian Army and Buhari over those your people who you claim, were murdered? Didn't you just say that since he is an in-law, he should just mind his business and not interfere in your matters? Stop contradicting yourself, please.
Nbote: It is totally ur prerogative where to worship but wen u begin to paint a church in bad light simply becos its not ur idea of what worship shld b like is what's wrong.. Was it everone who was sleeping or didnt remember d sermon in d Catholic church u attended? Today is Sunday and basically every bar, hotel, club and lounge is filled and occupied. By pagans or atheist? Our idea of Christianity is which denomination we identify with and how much tongues we think we can speak but yet we still dwell in d same old sinful habits we have always been in. So how is dat any different?
I do not know why people on NL keep reading meanings that do not exist into other people's comments. Did I say that everyone was sleeping inside the church? NO!! So why are people getting so worked up because of my comments?
Did I make mention of anybody's sinful habits or how much tongues they speak? NO!!
Did I pull down any church? NO!! I merely shared my experience in both places. Someone else may have a different view. God created the church. And to me a church is like a clinic or hospital where one goes to commune with his Saviour. You go to the one where the gospel is preached in a way that you understand, or that is best able to treat your case, spiritually. Simple.
cckalima: ehh so u can lie like this. I hv seen rccg members sle ep while the service is on by the way what's the name of the parish you visited?
You are the one telling big lies, o! Did you follow me inside the church? I am telling you of my own experience and you are claiming that it is a lie. How?? Did I say that other people do not sleep in church? I beg, carry yourself go find your own square root, o! For your information it was Glory Embassy parish. Are you satisfied? Or do you want to visit the place?
Tizbid: Was your life transformed to a more righteous one after either of the two encounters with both denominations?...if yes,Glory to God. But if no...pls search for jesus not denominations.
gemale: If what you claim is true, thanks be to God brother. However, don't try to attribute your present state to changing churches. You obviously weren't serious with God before. The fact that you used to sleep in church is proof enough. I think that if you had sought God truly before changing churches, you wouldn't have changed because you would still have the same results. I used to be lukewarm & apathetic before the Lord rescued me & now I actually look forward to & enjoy mass even when I went to a place where it was conducted in a language I didn't understand. I just asked someone nearby to interpret. The rosary I used to recite mechanically before; God has helped me to meditate on them, drawing insight & messages from them. The sacraments of penance & Eucharist now offer deeper meaning, draws me closer to God & channel grace to me, especially in trying moments. Now I am full of thanks that I belong to the church founded by Jesus Himself. Still, I concede that I have barely scratched the surface. There's way more I haven't yet discovered.
Oga, I attribute it to the changing of churches, and the way the Word of God is preached in the two churches. RCCG messages are more practical and in-depth. No need for too much talk. Those who have been in both places, will understand....
Nbote: And can u categorically tell urself dat u are now a beta person since afta u changed churches? Can u beat ur chest and say u no longer do d things(sins) u used to do afta changing churches or is s change all about enjoying service only but returning to ur usual routine?
Yes, o! I am much better now, after I changed churches. My faith is stronger, my old fears are gone and I pray far better than I used to, in the past. No more bad dreams, too. Isn't it my prerogative to change churches? The Bible says those who believe in Jesus Christ shall have eternal life, not those who attend a particular church every day. Spot the difference, if you can.
cstr1000: You deserve far worse. You are a traitor to the Nigerian state.
Nah, you are the traitor who is blaming other ethnic groups for the woes of your kinsman. Why don't you people ever take responsibility for your own actions??! You take delight in blaming everybody else, but your own selves.
ItsMeAboki: Where are the regional and tribal champions too quick to twist the whole matter into something else from their usual bigoted perspective; what will they now say after this revelation? When some ppl believe they are always smarter than everyone else and therefore feel they have a licence to look down on others; they sooner or later often get floored by the least person they ever expected and instead become the very big fools they ironically thought others were.
Kachikwu, seems to be one big example of such educated but foolish persons and a hypocrite as well; because he upheld one of the rules he is now implicitly challenging when it favoured him as then MD.
It is also interesting to note that he is not entirely clean himself and already under EFCC investigation over clandestine siphoning of over 1billion Naira through shady contracts between him and his brother.
Also currently circulating through various platforms of the social media is secretly filmed short clip of his alleged Lagos garage full of exotic cars (mostly Rolls Royce s) easily worth billions.
God bless you speaking the truth. Kachikwu's woes were self-inflicted by him.
NafeesaAA: If you are a Christian and you think that Muslims criticising Aisha's dress are wrong, you are the one who is wrong, not because you have no business in the discourse but because you probably do not know how Islam asks Muslims to dress.
Indeed, Aisha's home ( Alh. Umaru Ndanusa) is a Muslim home. Now, what I am not sure of is if Aisha is still a Muslim. If she is a Muslim, those dresses are not the way of Muslims and Muslims have the right to complain about them. At that point, your duty as a Christian is to seek explanation as to how wrong they are on a Muslim's neck. If she is a Christian, Muslims have no right to complain. And their duty would be to continue with the business of living together in a mixed society like Nigeria.
The hypocrisy of all our complaints reside in the fact that before Aisha's case, Muslims have lived and transacted businesses with Christians whose dresses are worse than Aisha's, perhaps, because those people didn't call themselves Muslims. Also, Christians have lived successfully with Muslims putting on what could pass for deep Islamic dresses without qualms. Any muslim who says Aisha's dressing is not wrong is only being hypocritical. Allah says hypocrites exist among Muslims. He warned that they are terrible to be with. They can conjure misleading thesis to cause confusion. Muslims take their injunctions from the Qur'an and Hadith plus conclusions from their scholars, only.
Some of us who are Muslims know that Christianity forbids dressing that reveals the crevices of a woman; we know that Christianity promotes decency in dressing. Once upon a Sunday morning at ABU, behind Ribadu hall(girls hostel), a girl in her fullness of life was walking past, ahead of us to a church within the campus. Suddenly, we started hearing shouts and boos from atop the hostel: 'ashawo, seducer, sit not in front...' some Christian girls booed the badly dressed girl with a Bible in hand...instead of being remorseful, she stopped and began shaking her buttocks in the direction of her accusers. 'you don't have this', she replied. A Christian friend from Gombe who was with me simply concluded: 'wancan yar wuta ce'.
So, both Islam and Christianity, I know, preache decency in dressing. Perhaps, more than proclamation, Islam has gone further to describe the ways in which men and women should dress. Therefore, if any Christian must reach a conclusion on this matter, he must have the knowledge of how Islam prescribes her dress code. It doesn't have to be like Arabs. It could be a Nupe or Igbo or Idoma type of dressing but it has to be according to Islamic specification. A person's first responsibility to a group is to observe her codes.
Muslims who seek to correct any deviations must apply wisdom, diplomacy and persuasion either to a differing Muslims or a Christian needing education about what they know not in Islam. That's how the prophet of Islam did it. In fact, Christians are not the problem of Muslims in this matter but Muslims who know the truth and are pretending that her dressing is correct.
On the whole, the major problem is that Muslims think Islam is theirs only, when Allah says it is a package for mankind. If you take it all, how do others who are not Muslims access it. Nigerian Christians are no better; they also think Christianity is theirs. So, every little thing goes for war between these two groups.
In what way is Aisha's dressing wrong? And what do you mean by saying Islam prescribes her dress code. What kind of dress code is this? It only says a woman should cover up her body. Aishah's dress covers her body, so what else do you want? Must she wear a hijab before you can agree that she is decently dressed? Haba! Wearing Hijab is a choice, not a compulsion.
-hate yoruba Christian more-Awolowo,osinbajo,pastor Adeboye and co
-hate hausa fulanis
-hate hausa fulani muslim more.
-hate hausa fulani Christians more-yakubu gowon,jeremiah usein and theophyllus danjuma.
!!!!!!!!!!
Yakubu Gowon is not Hausa-Fulani. He is Angas from Lur, a small village in the present Kanke Local Government Area of Plateau State. Jeremiah Timbut Useni is Tarok from Langtang in Plateau State, while Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma is a Jukun man from Takum in Taraba State. But Igbo people are unable to tell the difference. So they tar everyone with the same brush, because of the hate within them.
cstr1000: The same people that degrade verifiable media such as vanguard and the Sun as IPOB media against the president are the same unscrupulous people jumping and jubiliating on a report most likely falsified and from a very unknown sources as sacrosanct especially in this significant case where the very bastions of Nigerian corruption have an interest. They complain that osinbanjo is being overrided by the cabal, and at the same time defend the same cabal because it paints buhari in a bad light. Kachiku came to the villa alone to see the president, while baru came with El-rufai and other northern cabals as a show of force. And some yoruba Igbo nincompoops expect anybody with a brain to somehow see kachikwu as the over-reaching party here. Eledumare Amadioha go deal with all of una .
cstr1000: I hope everybody can see that there are no real patriots on nairaland, and most are just compromised lackeys. Somebody called deji brings a report from an unknown reporter and bears it as fact with paid lackeys rising to the defense. Given the obvious ethnic cum regional slant of the ensuing fracas in the NNPC, how can anybody with a brain just believe any nonsense from unknown sources.? We have a seasoned oil and management professional who is the minister for state deliberately side-lined in the awarding of a 25billion dollar contract- and some people find nothing wrong with that. The fact that he was effectively demoted from a position of effectiveness does not ring bells at the obvious conspiracy at work here.? Unscrupulous Yoruba Igbo animals on nairaland (most of whom are utterly wretched) defending corruption (and nepotism) - And these useless people will open their rotten mouths to accuse others of corruption and defending corruption. na God go punish all of una. With patriots like these Yoruba Igbo clowns, who needs traitors?
wingmanII: You have to be an illiterate to make this statement. Rccg cannot have as many branches as the catholic church. Are you also counting the churches in the rural areas?
Calm down. It is possible for RCCG to have as many branches as the Catholic Church. Don't forget that for many years, the Catholic church did not embrace church planting as fast as the pentecostal churches did. In my area for example, there is just one Catholic church serving a population of over 20,000 people in one estate. But in comparison over 7 RCCG churches also exist within the same estate. Now, who do you think would have the greater number of worshippers?
