ReplyDeleteChai,e clear say APC nor go win.imagine who dem chose as running mate#too said...not voting again
ReplyDeleteAuntylindagoddaughter

ReplyDeleteThis is a good choice for APC. I hope this union, hopefully would transform to desired objective.
ReplyDeleteOboy see Profile. ...GEJ is in trouble oh
ReplyDelete..cos if d whole of RCCG vote for this man e don finish!!!
Finally........ the battle line is now fully drawn 2015.... I c u.... next........
ReplyDeleteLol. Amaechi R. Has been fooled!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy right now, I believe the reformation is abt to start, we need a new Nigeria, God hear our prayer.
ReplyDeleteComing to what happened yesterday PDP are the people that killed that woman. Am talking about imo state PDP members. Valentinechisom7@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHmmm. As if hv know what they'll come out with, they want to make use of RCCG pastors so that Christians will cast their vote for them, no way!!! Prof Osibajo, these people want to use u to get to that post, henh, Prof go and fast and pray about this, your life is more precious to your children. Am not going against your rhetoric rise in your polical ambitions but for this party. Seems u're surrounded by your enemies. Word is enough for a wise. Am also a RCCG member.
ReplyDeleteSay What????????
ReplyDeleteWOW WOW WOW
if this is for real then jonathan has a lot coming with his docile sambo
Hmmm, ok wish you successful campaign.

ReplyDeleteYou all head me. Valentinechisom7@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteWow! What a choice, this is so unexpected. I must say that buhari is really a master at deception.
ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval
I LOVE IT WHEN CHRISTAIN GET INVOLVE IN POLITICS.BUT LET GOD PREVAIL AND NOT US...AKA...WISDOM
ReplyDeleteThis is just political strategic by APC to steal the heart of Christians away frm voting in Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteWrong attenpt bos they will fail except God say otherwise.
...aka Royalpriesthood.
oriaifo@gmail.com
Yes GEJ is finish,,,,,,, very classical running mate
ReplyDeleteSeems suited for the position.. Hmmmm.. Apc.. I see something!
ReplyDelete.....A better Nigeria I pray.....
A very good choice
ReplyDeleteYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
ReplyDeletePastor Prof isn't a bad choice at all,well played APC,I hope Nigerians can trust these 2 now and let's Vote for Change.
I'm still skeptical about dis Buhari ish!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear 😊.Wish them the best. We'll see what happens.
ReplyDeleteAPC just lost d election
ReplyDeleteThis is desperation to get nigrians to vote them I say no to this APC
ReplyDeleteAPC has just lost election....A southern Vice President would have been a strong character like Amaechi or Oshiomole...I sure know that if this combination is announced as election winner this SE and SS may no longer be part of Naija. I sense....
ReplyDeleteGood for them as failure awaits them. Having a pastor as a running mate still won't make him win. Am so certain about his failure
ReplyDeleteHow many partys are we going to hv in dis country? ???? Dats d question we need to ask dem. Valentinechisom7@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe professor briefly returned to the Law Faculty in the 2009/2010 session; and I was privileged to have been taught the Law of Evidence by the great scholar..
ReplyDeleteHis erudition is undoubted, unassailable...
But he is not a politician...
He is too much of an academic...even more of an academic than a consummate Bar man...
He will be pocketed by an overbearing Buhari who would likely reduce him to mere appendage if he ever gets into government...
Several Osinbajo can never cure APC of its baggage of negativity, blackmail, subterfuge and cynicism!!!!!
APC can never win the 2015 presidential election...
Ok...
ReplyDeleteVery good, I love d combinatn
ReplyDeleteright step towards right direction.
ReplyDeletebUT jOnathan wit his frsh air, it has b darkness wil hav b sleeping despite all d promise's.
ReplyDeleteNa wa ooo but hope he mak good use of d 2nd term God wil bless him wit.

ReplyDeletePsalms 74 (A Prayer for National Deliverance)
ReplyDelete74 Why have you abandoned us like this, O God?
Will you be angry with your own people forever?
2 Remember your people, whom you chose for yourself long ago,
whom you brought out of slavery to be your own tribe.
Remember Mount Zion, where once you lived.
3 Walk over these total ruins;
our enemies have destroyed everything in the Temple.
4 Your enemies have shouted in triumph in your Temple;
they have placed their flags there as signs of victory.
5 They looked like woodsmen
cutting down trees with their axes.[b]
6 They smashed all the wooden panels
with their axes and sledge hammers.
7 They wrecked your Temple and set it on fire;
they desecrated the place where you are worshiped.
8 They wanted to crush us completely;
they burned down every holy place in the land.
9 All our sacred symbols are gone;
there are no prophets left,
and no one knows how long this will last.
10 How long, O God, will our enemies laugh at you?
Will they insult your name forever?
11 Why have you refused to help us?
Why do you keep your hands behind you?[c]
12 But you have been our king from the beginning, O God;
you have saved us many times.
13 With your mighty strength you divided the sea
and smashed the heads of the sea monsters;
14 you crushed the heads of the monster Leviathan[d]
and fed his body to desert animals.[e]
15 You made springs and fountains flow;
you dried up large rivers.
16 You created the day and the night;
you set the sun and the moon in their places;
17 you set the limits of the earth;
you made summer and winter.
18 But remember, O Lord, that your enemies laugh at you,
that they are godless and despise you.
19 Don't abandon your helpless people to their cruel enemies;
don't forget your persecuted people!
20 Remember the covenant you made with us.
There is violence in every dark corner of the land.
21 Don't let the oppressed be put to shame;
let those poor and needy people praise you.
22 Rouse yourself, God, and defend your cause!
Remember that godless people laugh at you all day long.
23 Don't forget the angry shouts of your enemies,
the continuous noise made by your foes
Ok Gud. D battle line is drawn come 2015 d change is inevitable
ReplyDeleteI could remember d last time I went to south African there are nothing like dis fucking stuff. Valentinechisom7@gmail.com
