For the love or God is broader than the measures of our mind
And the heart of the eternal is most wonderfully kind.
But we make his love too narrow by false limit of our own
And we magnify his strictness with a zeal he will not own
Do you people see what I'm saying? Benevolent business people are generally taken for granted, because of the general opinion that business people are cutthroat.
“Could I have handled it better? Probably.” South African entrepreneur Vusi Thembekwayo responds to criticism over a video he posted about migrant communities, which some accused of fuelling anti-migrant sentiment.
It is normal. Kwankwaso has more political structure than Obi. Obi has more followers than Kwankwaso. Kwankwaso wants to take all the structure ahead of his 2031 race. Obi's followers want the structure because of 2027 diaspora USD. Political trader meets political contractor.
This thing is cowardice sha and everyone would be better off picking a side:
If Atiku joined a coalition party and then left because he couldn’t face Obi, everyone would probably be dragging him by now.
Stop this “both sides” prevaricating nonsense and ask Obi why he left.
Even in comatose, a party like PDP still pulled votes in Ekiti elections, coming second - that’s the party we conceded to one mad man for the sake of coalition.
We got to coalition and still convinced same PDP to adopt Ibadan Declaration.
“I must be on the ballot” ruined it.
BREAKING: Opposition leaders have unveiled the Doctrine of a Necessary Democratic Opposition, calling for a National Council of Opposition Leaders to be convened within the next two weeks to reaffirm the Ibadan Declaration and begin the process of adopting a single presidential candidate for the 2027 election.
The document urges political leaders to put Nigeria above personal ambition, stressing that "a united failure cannot be defeated by a divided alternative."
@theonly1acre The cardinal called for it if we are to be fair.
Granting that interview just a day after the meeting is not a smart move and APC will definitely use it to their advantage
Apparently people don't know who a Cardinal is and the amount of influence they yield.
Most of these guys have diplomatic passports, have trained at the highest level of philosophy, theology, and a major discipline. They write books, they act as local imprimatur to people who also write. I'm talking big people who write. And above all, people listen to them — Big & important people listen to them.
Korol Wojtyla (John Paul III), as a cardinal was then Polish government enemy number as he opposed a communist Poland. Poland owes whatever it is today, democratically, to him — at least to a large extent. Wait till you hear about Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the one who mentored Karol.
Jaime Sin of Philippines literarily tumbled a dictatorship by leading peaceful protests and human barricades of millions of people. His intervention was pivotal in one of the world's most successful nonviolent democratic transitions.
Same with József Mindszenty of Hungary, a fighter against Communist Hungary who was popular with the phrase — communism kills the human identity. They even tortured him, and that led to unrest and protests. There's also Thomas Wosley of England. Maybe a little research on Cardinal Sarah and how he became one of the few national figures willing to challenge Sékou Touré's authoritarian regime publicly in Guinea.
A Cardinal does not engage in partisan politics. It's beneath them. However when it comes to the need to intellectually be at the defense of human rights, youth engagement, poverty eradication, and moral empowerment, they'd never be quiet.
So all these Tinubu boys are just mere humans. Dimwits who are controlled by money — a sad way to live.
They’ve turned it to religious war just like 2023 and if you think Obi will be the biggest beneficiary of all these chaos, you’re not smart.
You guys are towing the path Tinubu/APC wants you to follow.
As for the Cardinal, granting that interview is not a smart move.
For Nigeria to get better, Yoruba people both young and old have a whole lot to do.
Tinibu will one day leave the presidency, Yoruba will still exist after his tenure.
Won’t be surprised if this guy is among the organisers
Idiot has been trying to troll for a while cos I don’t know what’s funny about this whole thing to you
Hello @Tyllaaaaaaa you are an amazing musician with a great personality. I believe. Your stance projects the essence of breaking uncommon grounds no matter where you are from or your color. I am pretty sure you wouldn’t have loved it if people in countries you go to dont want you there or punish you for the sins of others. We can agree or disagree on so many things but one thing we both have to agree is that our positions in this space also enables us to take charge of social issues that directly affect our identities without bias. If your people demand for boundaries, we will obey it, however we also have the right to our boundaries which i feel if you read the room, you would know this isnt the right time. It shows lack of empathy, it’s taunting and lacks emotional intelligence to want to host an event here. You are welcome but not welcome because if whatever you stand for doesn’t align with our pain or come with the best intention for country then just please let us heal in peace. It’s not an appeal to think through or over think, it’s just commonsense. The truth is anything other than speaking about the Xenophobic atrocities is not welcomed ; as much as we respect it, you are not welcome here. It’s not a threat; it’s an appeal. We only align with respecting people who respect other Africans. No voice means agreement. If you are in agreement with what your country did; it’s fair but let us heal. The lives of every African matters. Please you are welcome but not welcome
