This is not a good precedent for a society that wishes to progress. See how grown idiots have successfully convinced these naive minds that their problems are spiritual! Instead of enlightening them that the government has failed them!
Bringing this back. Again! I want to say this VERY CLEARLY! See EVERY PASTOR, no matter how anointed and/or famous FIRST as a human being. It means they can be wrong on matters!
I see EVERY Man of God FIRST as a man.
A fallible man! It helps me adjust my expectations and demands from them. Any Pastor that has a problem with being seen as a human being has not business being a pastor!
I advocate that pastors mind their business on this app. Open ended social commentary without clearly defining your outcomes is the equivalent of sensationalism and this shouldn’t be known among God’s shepherds.
Empty trigger talk is a sin for people whose words carry weight.

Religious leaders kill me mahn. If you want to separate church and state, do it. If you have opinions, keep them private. Please don't ridicule our efforts to turn this country around. Abegggg
My problem is you don't see how statements like this disenfranchise people. As a leader of a people that do not like to think for themselves, statements like this should stay in your bedroom.
Children have been in a forest for 2 weeks please.
Any Nigerian who wants a new and better Nigeria knows it’s Peter Obi they should vote for. No time for any unnecessary back and forth. There is literally no valid talking point against the quality of Peter Obi’s leadership. None! The argument that he has to play dirty politics is dead on arrival. He is running to show that the voices of Nigerians CAN and WILL PREVAIL!
Rev, you don’t know what Peter Obi wants from political parties — I do.
Grab a coffee and I will explain — it’s a long one.
It’s clear to me, and anyone who is paying attention, that Peter Obi is laser-focused on being president. Full stop.
He wants to lay a foundation upon which this country will begin the recovery of its soul.
PO sees everything else as a distraction or performative.
By the way, he doesn’t need to prove himself anymore. He won the last election and will win the next one — but I digress.
A close watcher of the man will see that he is channelling precious energy and resources towards making sure that he wins again and that his mandate is not stolen a second time.
Energy is finite. Wise people pick their battles.
Fighting random proxies like Lamidi Apapa to prove a point is useless in the extreme. Committing the enormous time and energy required to prove that he can hold a political party with willpower alone when courts are in the pockets of APC is like urinating on a rock just to prove that wet rocks glint in the sun.
Political parties as is currently constituted is a cage that he must work within. So to make sure his name is on the ballot, the man has to tear up the rule book you, and the undiscerning are judging him by.
Pause for a moment and acknowledge that the data points you’re using to judge Peter Obi today is after the fact.
Let’s do a thought experiment.
Imagine it’s the night of 23th May, 2022, days before the PDP primaries:
- Your name is Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi.
- Your brand is that you will never pay for votes.
- You already know that tens of thousands of dollars are greasing the palms of delegates.
Answer honestly.
What would you do?
Would you in your craziest thoughts imagine that moving to Labour Party, a party that doesn’t appear even as a footnote, is a remote option?
Would you fancy your chances with 9 months to prepare for an election?
Would you dare slog it out alone without anyone of note in your corner?
What would be your assessment of a person’s concern for your wellbeing, were they to suggest such madness?
Your answer (and mine) is very simple, unless you’re lying to yourself.
“Oga just go home, you don try. As you no dey give shishi, Nigerian politics is not for you. Even if you get shishi to give, you can’t outspend Atiku and Wike.”
But what did Peter Obi do?
He moved to Labour Party and reignited hope in young hearts up and down the country.
He read the mood of the people and mapped out a path and a campaign plan that he executed flawlessly.
A man who has that level of insane belief in his abilities is who you flippantly speak about instead of humbly taking notes?
People forget that Peter Obi’s appeal is not a random act of nature. It derives from an intentional life — painstakingly built over 6 decades to withstand the type of pressure that will forge diamonds.
So when you say, offhandedly, that he has a large following, do well to remember that he earned it! His followership didn’t fall from the sky. He earned that shit!
Now tell me this, what would you do if the umpire and your opponents are in the same WhatsApp group?
It is most unwise to loose a second of focus playing by the rules that they invent to keep you running around in circles. Reminds me of a clip I saw once of a cat chasing laser shone on a wall.
If they set up the rules so that instead of fighting them, you are chasing a sliver of laser, you refuse, you flip the rules or you don’t play at all.
Is it not instructive that the arguments you have about his relationship with political parties are the same as Wike and the APC (the trap setters) use against him? That should give you pause.
Finally Rev, instead of marvelling at a man dodging bullets like Neo in the Matrix, you sound unhappy that he isn’t standing still and taking the bullets in the stomach like a real man.
Reported demands made by the terrorists who kidnapped children and teachers in Oyo state:
1. ₦1 billion to be paid into an account in the Benin Republic.
2. Release of terrorists currently held in Agodi and Abolongo Prisons.
3. Two Hilux vehicles.
4. Amendment of Oyo State laws to enforce and introduce sharia law.
For those of you who continue to make excuses for terrorists, who refer to terrorists as your brothers and who applaud this lunatic government when they release these barbaric murderers back into society, please be aware that you will eventually be ruined by this same satanic ideology you endorse.
I experienced what @Sisi_Yemmie has been saying here on the TL today!
I was coming back from an outing and decided to get a few items from Bokku Mart.
I bought only 3 items. The attendant asked if I wanted a nylon bag and I said yes.
He said the bag was #100. But why did he deduct #1700 for the nylon?
I didn’t check the receipt until I got into the car, then I remembered and decided to check.
I went back inside and asked what the #1700 was for. He said it was an error and that I had to wait for the supervisor to fix it!
This pissed me off! He could simply have given me my change instead of making me wait for their error.
Apparently the supervisor was in on it too. He came out and quickly asked the guy to give me my change.
I can’t imagine how long this has been going on! @bokkumart, call your staff to order.
Business owners, please be very involved in your business and don’t trust any staff.
#1700 is not a lot of money but imagine doing this to 5-10 customers a day!
