Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Re: OMG! Jonathan Forces SSS to Question Pastor Bakare Over Sunday Sermon |

| Seriously, i can't figure out how some pastors intend to mix politics and pastorship together. It can never work; esp in Nigeria. Tunde Bakare should concentrate on preaching salvation and winning souls for God and keep his nose out of politics. The best he could do is pray for positive changes in Nigeria.
I beg to disagree with you on that.
Reasons:
Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr. (born October 8, 1941) is an African-American civil rights activist and Baptist minister. He was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988 and served as shadow senator for the District of Columbia from 1991 to 1997. He was the founder of both entities that merged to form Rainbow/PUSH. Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr. is his eldest son. In an AP-AOL "Black Voices" poll in February 2006, Jackson was voted "the most important black leader".[1]

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement.[1] He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent methods following the teachings of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.[2] King has become a national icon in the history of modern American liberalism.[3]
A Baptist minister, King became a civil rights activist early in his career.[4] He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history.
In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other nonviolent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and stopping the Vietnam War.
King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. federal holiday in 1986.

| WE ARE ALL THEIVES, IT IS A WAY OF EMBEZZLE NIGERIAN` MONEY. WHO IS GOOD AMONG THEM THERE? MAKE WE HEAR WORD JARE! 
This hypocritical theater play of making Nigerians think that they are serious minded people is no longer news.
Are they just waking up from their slumber at the 7th month of the year that the 2012(also preceding years) budget is not been implemented?
I have noticed that, whenever there is serious issue at hand, these actors will always come up with a staged play and it’s usually inconclusive.
I recall in January, when these legislooters had an emergency session due to the NLC nationwide strike, after the FG ill-timed fuel price hike.
The lawbreakers resolved amongst other things that,
1; FG should return to the Status-quo as regards the new price
2. NLC should call off the strike,
3. The subsidy process should be suspended whilst FG should NLC go back into negotiations.
The FG responded almost immediately through its oracle (Dr. Abati) that, “The resolution of the house is mere expression of opinion”.
Question: What did the `Reps’ do and what happened afterwards?!
Nigeria is stuck and sinking is the murky waters of corruption and greed.
What we need right now is visionary, selfless and strategic leadership to move this nation forward not all these shameful home videos they keep releasing from the nations Legislative house.
…….. Pretending or shy away from your responsibility does not exonerate you from the consequences.
God Bless Nigeria. | | | | |
