A Winning or Rigging Formula? - Gumi

Ringing the 2015 election this time will be very difficult indeed. Voters will remain until the results of their votes casted are pasted in front of them. And with a more potent competitor, the PDP that was once the only "national party' has further polarized the polity not just on the north-south divide but more dangerously on the religious one. Already some of them have already started calling APC an 'Islamic Party' to put in the Christian psyche the loathe of the party. Yet not acknowledging the fact that PDP especially with the recent South African $9.3m scandal, majority of Muslims believe the party is a CAN party.

With this ugly political scenario in situ, re-endorsing President Jonathan is their greatest political blunder because I know the Muslim North will totally reject him. That means the only option left for PDP to continue is by rigging.

PDP is then the epicenter of the most dreaded religious earthquake or the crater of volcano eruption that can shatter and destroy the nation. Because 2015 is not 2011. In 2011, the benefit of doubt which Jonathan enjoyed in the North is completely eroded by his style of governance.

Weapons Haram: A pastor, a jet, Israel and $10m By Bala Muhammad

Imagine this scenario: “A private jet belonging to the Sultan of Sokoto [though he hasn’t as yet got one] has been impounded in South Africa laden with undeclared cash to the tune of almost $10m. Also arrested were two Nigerians and a Saudi Arabian citizen. The arrested trio said they were in South Africa to purchase arms…The Sultan of Sokoto is the leader of Nigeria’s Muslim community and President of the country’s influential Nigerian Supreme Council on Islamic Affairs (NSCIA)…”

Just imagine the frenzy, the abuse, the castigation, the condemnation a section of this country’s media and public commentariat would scramble to if this were what happened. The story would have been a real BANG!

However, the story happens to be the direct opposite:

“A private jet belonging to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has been impounded in South Africa laden with undeclared cash to the tune of almost $10m. Also arrested were two Nigerians and an Israeli citizen. The arrested trio said they were in South Africa to purchase arms…The Pastor is the leader of Nigeria’s Christian community and President of the country’s influential Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)…”

Grand Conspiracy And Complicit In Boko Haram Islamism

Ignorance is not always unforgivable. There is a strand of ignorance that makes a hesitant, timid public appearance, unsure of itself. You encounter it and you know that it is teachable, redeemable. That strand is forgivable. Confronted with superior logic, it revises its priors and you tell it to go and sin no more. However, there is a second strand which hits the public sphere with the confidence and self-assuredness of a garlanded owner of the domain. This sort of cocky, unteachable, irredeemable ignorance is not content with a humble public appearance. It insists on viewership, on an audience, on spectators. If you say you have no money to attend the show, it distributes free tickets.

CAN releases 180 names of abducted girls, demands N50m as damages for each girl

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Sunday, released the names of the abducted female students in Chibok by the Book Haram Sect.

The National Christian Body, consequently, demanded N50m as damages as well as overseas scholarship, for each girl from the federal government.

A Statement signed by the President/Founder of Old Time Revival Hour, Kaduna & immediate-past chairman of Northern States Christian and Elders Forum (NOCSEF), an affiliate of CAN, Evangelist Matthew Owojaiye gave reason for the attack on Chibok girls’ high school.

“Chibok Local Government is 90% Christians. Majority of the girls abducted are Christian! Why did Boko Haram visit Chibok Local Government? Why didn’t they visit so many other Local Government Girls Secondary Schools in Borno State?”
While demanding for those girls in Senior Secondary School, SSS, one and two to be transfered to schools of their choice, CAN called on faithful across the country to pray for their release.

Owojaiye said for “Daughters of Zion taken captive, to be treated as slaves and sold into marriage to unclean people. Abomination has been committed.

“​Raise lamentation to High Heavens. What a shame on the Church of the Living God.

“The Church in Nigeria is hereby called to A Lamentation Prayer.

“Every Christian home must raise a lamentation to heaven daily. Let God arise and defend his Name, Honour and Majesty.

234 Abducted School Girls: Women To Organise Protest March In Abuja

Nigerian Women and mothers are set to mount an all-red attired massive protest march for the release of the 234 girls abducted by Book Haram insurgents on April 15.

Women will march on Abuja on Wednesday to press for the release of the girls kidnapped from their hostel at the Government Secondary School, Chibok in Borno state. Prof. Hauwa Abdu Biu hinted yesterday of the planned protest in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, during an emergency meeting convened by the wife of the governor, Hajiya Nana Kashim Shettima.

The meeting was on the way forward for the release of the school girls.

Prof. Biu, speaking last week on behalf of the Coalition of Borno Women, said women were ready to storm the Sambisa forest where the girls are believed to be held, to secure their freedom.

BOMB BLAST: CAN, President Jonathan Declared A Genocide On Northerners - USMAN JIMETA; You Deserved A Response -FANI-KAYODE

''All Northern Muslims must know that the killings in the North of Muslims is solely sponsored by President Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan agreed with his people of South East and South South that our population must be eliminated through massacres.

Those carrying out the massacres in the different States of the North are well trained Igbos and former Niger Delta militants who were trained in Israel and clandestinely in some Countries. President Jonathan, once told a Northern Elite that a revolution must be started in the North to pave the way for killing all our Elites.

Jonathan, assassinated Gen. Mohamme Shuwa, assassinated Jarman Katagum, attempted to eliminate Ado Bayero, Kwankwaso, Sultan of Sokoto, to mention but a few.
