THE REALIGION PRACTITIONER AS THE REAL PROBLEM OF RELIGION

          

We will dwell into a little bit of historical facts for the purpose of this write up. It is a known fact that Ishmael and Isaac are of the same offspring. It is also a statement of fact that Sarah gave her maid Haggai to Abraham as wife when she was unable to conceive. Forget the inspiration to interpret what the bible says, we know Abraham never called Haggai his wife. Abraham casted out Haggai and her son Ishmael on Sarah’s instruction backed up by God when Haggai started misbehaving. We are also aware that this does not go down well with Abraham. All the aforementioned confirm Ishmael son ship right to Abraham. Before the departure of Haggai and Ishmael into the desert or wilderness, whatever, Abraham makes sure he got food and water for his wife and son.

What happened when the mother and child are in the wilderness also corroborate that God Himself accepted the son ship right of Ishmael to his father Abraham. He did this when He rescued the mother and child from dying of thirsty by providing well water for them through which they were able to quench their thirst. God also made a pronouncement that he will make a nation out of Ishmael. He went on to inform Haggai that He had seen that she was treated badly and for this the child she is carrying will help her out. So in essence God did proclaim the type of person Ishmael will be right before he was conceived. As a freedom fighter if you ask. Please read your bible very well and tell me the literary meaning of God’s statement regarding this. God recognized the fact that Haggai was badly treated. The question is by whom? Is it by Sarah? Or is it by Abraham? One needs God’s wisdom and understanding to interprete this bearing in mind that God himself gave backing to Sarah’s instruction concerning this.

When Abraham died at the ripe age of one hundred and seventy five, it was Ishmael and his brother Isaac that gave their father Abraham a befitting burial.

Let us now trace the genealogy of Ishmael and Isaac. It has been established and widely acclaimed that Prophet Mohammed (SAW) who is the progenitor of Islamic religion came directly from the Ishmael descendant. While Jesus, Al Masih in Arabic language (ASAW) who is the progenitor of Christianity came from the descendant of Isaac. All these are established facts. This goes to show that both Jesus and Mohammed are blood brothers. This singular fact made all their followers brothers and sisters; this is what this has confined on all who believe in them and their teachings.

In Galatians chapter five where Apostle Paul made reference to this historical facts. He did refer Haggai as a bonded woman and Sarah as the free woman. He went ahead to claim that Haggai can be likened to Mount Sinai which represents Saudi Arabia  of today and Sarah represent Jerusalem. To my own understanding Paul made all this interpretation based on his own spiritual understanding of the whole events as it is espoused in the Old Testament.

I would want anyone that care to listen to impress it on everybody that it has come to a stage we have to put a stop to the trend whereby religion is used to fan the ember of discord in the world. This ugly trend has to stop. The two religions preach peace. Why hiding in it to perpetrate evil. There is no place inside the Bible and Quran where God approve of violent and senseless killings.Infact this act is condemn out rightly in all its entirety. Unfortunately this is what we now experienced these days among the practitioners of the two religions. People should stop hiding the cloak of religion to cause confusion all over the world.

I would have loved to expatiate further on this, but I have to abide by the teaching of the Holy books. God does not make a judge on this issue, so I recognized the fact that I can not pass judgement.I belief God himself will at appointed time judge everyone that is using religion to foment trouble all over the world has He deem fit. Most practitioners of this religion are hypocrite; they failed to see the log in their own eyes while accusing their fellow human being of wrongdoings. It’s only God that can judge some of you. Some of you have used your antics and evil ways to misled people. Unfortunately most people are cowed and afraid to speak out. I made bold to claim that some of them are worse than some people that we tagged as been violent in the society.

There is no justification for the recent killing of the Pakistan Governor .How do you explains it? Just because the man refused to conform to the statusquo by supporting the authority to pass death sentence on a Christian woman accused of blasphemy against the holy Prophet Mohammed. This is my point with these practitioners of this religion. I doubt if they do read these Books they profess to believe in. There was no place in the Bible where any killings on the accusation of blasphemy was suported.Even Jesus that was killed based on this did not want to die, but he allowed it to happen just to fulfill the prophecy. Though Quran believed he ascended to heaven before the killing take place. The person that was killed was definitely not Jesus. Quran was emphatic on this that on no occasion must a Muslim kill his fellow man unless mistakenly. Penalties for these offences were spelt out. Quran did say that on no account must children be killed for lack of wealth. Allah said he will always provide for us. Unfortunately this entire barbaric act now pervades our entire life, all in the name of religion.History has shown that most of these people that claimed that they are religion leaders are mostly perverters,paranoid and schizophrenic.  May God help us from these hypocrites.

According to Quran, a good Muslim must have belief in all God’s prophet and their books. So a good Muslim must desist from critizing the word inside bible blindly. We recognized the fact that there are some areas where there are some differences, all we need is understanding to accommodate each others ideas, beliefs and interpretations on these areas. Muslims and Christians that have gone on holy pilgrimage to Mecca and Jerusalem can attest to the fact that there is no much difference, apart from the mode of worship.

So Israel, Pakistan, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Nigeria, United State of America and all nation of the world that have experienced one form of terrorist acts in the name of religion should please wake up and let us sheath our hatchet and call off the bluff of any Political leader, religion leader or any leader of sorts that might wants to use religion as a tool to cause disunity and war among the nations of the world.

Thank you.

DIRECT DATA CAPTURING MACHINE VS SIM CARD REGISTRATION MACHINE

                                           

Voter’s registration for the forthcoming election started on shaky note. Initial hitches have to do with the faulty machine and its peripherals. It’s peripheral which include scanner, camcorder, printer and mobile power generating plant plant which is the only major difference between it and laptops used for the sim card registration exercise. Couple with the faulty machine is the inexperience shown by the adhoc staffs of INEC that were recruited for the registration exercise. The inexperience shown by the adhoc staff only shows that they were not given adequate and sufficient training before the commencement of the exercise.

From the above one can deduce that there is no much difference between the two machines except that SCRM doesn’t need a mobile generating plant to function effectively because it has a better and strong battery compared to the ZAUZAU DDCM that INEC has decided to use for this exercise.

I love this country. Nigerians will never get the true picture of things until the stand taken on a particular cause boomerang. Can someone tell me the sincerity of purpose in this exercise? Firstly three companies were given the mandate to supply the DDC Machine. Two of them were able to meet up before the deadline given, while the third one defaulted.Uptil now the company is yet to fulfill its own part of the contractual agreement.

Remember the federal government invested about #87 billion on this exercise, and out of this, #40 billion was actually devoted for the importation of DDC machine, ordinary laptops.Haba!The government made us to belief she’s importing an out of this world machine for the exercise which nigerians thought will stem the tide of election malpractices. No wonder the coining of acronym DDC machine. Nigerians now know that what you brought in were merely Laptops. For God sake!

An indigenous company even participated in the bid, but you rubbished the company and gave it to foreign firms probably to cover your track. Nigerians hope you are already on the trail of the third company that reneges.

Secondly both public and private schools were asked to close down for two weeks for this exercise. The argument put up border on the security of school children, but until now I am yet to see how the school children are involved in this. The thinking initially was that probably they will use schools for the exercise.

Since the commencement of the exercise it has been one form of complain to the other. The exercise was characterized with lateness of the adhoc staff to registration centre, faulty machine, inadequate materials, fighting, beating up of adhoc staffs, stealing of DDc Machine, issuance of duplicate registration card instead of original and non payment of adhoc staff allowance which made them to stay away from most registration centers’ for two days.Infact until now there are some arears where they are yet to see these adhoc staffs. All these have resulted to the inability of eligible voters to register thereby indirectly disenfranchising them to perform their civic rights and obligation.

In one of my write ups I pointed out that professor Attahiru Jega might have good intention, but definitely he cant be everywhere at the sametime.So the issue of security have to be taken seriously because those people that can decide to beat the adhoc staff during registration can do anything during the election proper.

I would like the Professor to tell Nigerians if he was privy to the bringing in of CHINCO laptop of less memory into Nigeria. The laptop’s memory has to be upgraded before it can perform to full capacity.

Before they seek the advice of an expert they came up with frivolous stories that the machine would not capture the data of anyone suffering from one form of ailments. That is a lie.

The exercise will end this week Saturday. There is no way the exercise will not be review in order to accommodate the electorate that are yet to register. Again people are already suspecting that the process is being manipulated by some desperate politicians. Nigerians just have to make sure their votes counts this time around in order to ensure we vote the right people into office and not thugs that have turned our days into nightmare.

On a final note, there is no justification for contracting foreign firms to handle a project that an indigenous company can perform creditably well. We know the pedigree of so many computer firms, Gsm operators, telecom service providers in this country. We know what they can do if given the opportunity to proof their mettle.Atleast we know what they have been able to do with the SIM CARD REGISTRATION exercise. Nigerians are no fools; do not make us the laughing stock of the international community.

Thank you.

RECRUITMENT DRIVE

                                                                  

Doing business in Nigeria nowadays is too costly. If you want to invest in production sector, you will have to contend with energy problem. The fact is you will ended up using most of your capital to power your generating set which in the long run will increase your overhead cost astronomically thereby eroding on your profit margin if you ever make any. What of the cost of raw materials used as input in the production process which seems to be shooting up to the roof on a daily basis. So investment on production is out of it for now.

I think trading is ok.Whatever the case one is likely to break even. Barring no unusual circumstances in which one does not have control over. If you are a Nigerian you will understand what I mean. There is other area that seems to be very lucrative. Some are highly capital intensive, while in others you will have to be bold, in some trickish, in some a perfect liar and in others you must have a ‘calling’radiating all over you before you can thread this path.

My business have not been doing well for sometime now, so I have been thinking and I have even took time out to engage some people in a think tank. After all said and done, I was able to come up with this lofty and laudable idea, which to my mind will raise my status in the Nigeria society and at the same time make, me a wealthy man. Some brave and hard people both men and women are ready to come on board with me and the name of this new company is ‘Thuggery  Nigeria Limited’

Our aim and objective is to satisfy our clients, by making the general public to show and accord them the necessary respect. We are ready to go to any length to achieve this. We will make the perceived enemies of our clients to be in constant awe of them. So for those people such as professors, industrialist, People of the fourth state of realm, culturedand refined people of Nigeria including religionist that have interest in politics but does not know how to recruit thugs by virtue of their public status should get in touch with our company. I and member of my team are ready to do this for them, so that they can participate fully in politics and as well become very powerful politicians.

Good people of Nigeria what is your opinion as to this idea of mine? I want your comments on this. The point I am trying to make is that it’s high time our legislator put an end to this senseless shameful act of thyggery in all our facets of life. It’s very archaic and embarrassing. At this age our politicians still belief that the only way they deem fit to win an election is by engaging the services of thugs.Moreso these are the set of politicians that throw caution to the wind once they get to office by becoming unctrollable since they know that they to the office by rigging, so they are not answerable to us. The problem of thuggery as ever been with us but it always become more pronounced during democracy period. This pattern has to be altered because we know that there is always increase in criminal activities immediately after politics and this as a result of an increase in the number of weaponry at the disposal of these thugs. Since they don’t have job again most of them make use of this weapon to engage in criminal activities.

I believe nobody prayed to be social misfit, if the settings are right in such a way that everybody engages in one form of economic activities. So Nigerian leaders wake up to your responsibilities by coming up with good economic plan and agenda that will make this country a safe haven for all Nigerians to live in. If you think you can indulge your own children to the detriment of the children of the masses of this great nation, you are joking. God will punish whoever among you that is not sincere to the course of this country especially if you fail to do what is right. I mean right things that will break this nation from the shackle of poverty and get her to the rightful position in the comity of nation. A word they usually say is enough for the wise.

Thank you.

GLORIFICATION

                                                                              

Good morning.Salaam.Peace be on to you.All these are forms of greetings.Allahu akbar.Halelujah.These  are ways of extolling God which translates to God is great and God be praised.Olori oh ah!Tu ale!Are also forms of greetings. I know you will be wondering what sort of language this is.Olori in Yoruba means two things at least to my own understanding of the language.Olori means head of an organization while it also means King’s wife. To be candid I found it difficult to comprehend the second phrase Tu Ale.

However, for those of us that is closer to the NURTW member by virtue of our association with them, either as a commuter or as their neighbor. Most of us are used to their forms of gretings which sometimes seems funny, exciting, and captivating when they are making series of gesticulation to express their mode of greetings. These slogans Olori Oh Ah, Tu Ale and Baba Agba or Baba Agbalagba are what they used in exchanging pleasantries among themselves and also for someone they adore as a form of respect. The most commonly used are Olori Oh Ah and Tu Ale. Social miscreants also use them whenever they wanted to solicit for assistance.

The real reason for delving into this area has to do with my experience recently. It really made me scare and it’s also somewhat frightening. I met a university graduate that has just finished his one year compulsory service using these slogans in a way reminiscent to the way social miscreants used them. The graduate is of the cerebral type based on my assessment of him.Eversince I came across this guy, the question that has been agitating my mind is: Could it be that he has been recruited into their fold? Or is it that the young man has found solace in the midst of these miscreants? You may be wondering why all these question. It just has to do with our daily experience, lots of things are happening out there and if care is not taking one is likely to fall into wrong circle all in the name of wanting to survive under harsh economic condition in which we found ourselves. The young graduate is now in the outside world and he suddenly realized that thuggery is  well recognized and accommodated in our society.Moreso since in the present political dispersion their services seems to be in high demand. One will not be surprised if this our young decided to take up job as a political thug if eventual he was unable to get a good job or even start a business on his own. So a graduate that has been thought the power of pen right from the rudimentary stage up to university level will now embrace matchets,cudgel,axe even gun as tool.May day.May day.May day.Are we not getting it wrong already?

Nigerian politicians should try to put an end to thuggery glorification.Infact the use of thug in Nigeria politics should end forthwith. Acknowledgement of their services should end with the payments given. Inviting them for thanksgiving in the house of God in the glare of congregation that has been in awe of them through the news they have heard about this people is not acceptable. The truth is these people are also tired of been refer to as thug or kingpin whatever .Several times leaders of NURTW have clamed to be  partisan politicians themselves and not thug as some politicians have claim. If the NURTW claim is true then it is left for them to shun any politician that might want to use or recruit their member to engage in thuggery activities during the forthcoming election.

They should take a cue from the recent killing of Alhaji Lateef Salako Elewe omo under very strange circumstances. The man was killed during People Democratic Party state primary. May God grant his family, friends and associates the grace to bear the loss. Unfortunately the man still has an aged mother. A serving senator has been accused for the murder. I would just implore the Oyo state commissioner of police to thread softly, because from all indication it seems they have some how crucify the man already going by what we read on the pages of newspaper. However there is a twist to the whole story as the state primary election of the senatorial district of the accused senator has been councilled.This only shows that his party does not belief the man is responsible for the murder. Secondly the question is will the person that has been declared as the winner will agree for the rerun of the primary?

There is a lesson for the NURTW members to learn from all this. The lesson is warning their members to stay clear of politics.

On a final note, Nigerian government should do everything within its capacity to remove unemployed Nigerian youths from the streets. The problem of unemployment is not associated to graduates alone. It affects all sacked workers as well. Albeit efforts has been made recently to set up a model skill acquisition centre in Abuja fashion after the one in Singapore. I believe the right thing to do is to set up this institution in all the state of the federation and it must be free. Admission into this institution must not be restricted. It should be for anyone that might have interest .Students that finish from this school must be empowered and adequately monitored.

I hope if this is done quickly we will have a respite, atlest for a while.

 Thank you

NUMBER 1 PUBLIC ENEMY

                                                        

My own definition of number one public enemy or what I belief it really mean is a non conformist. Someone that does not belief in the set rules and principles guiding a community or a society. A non conformist will do everything to aid, abet injustice and at the same time pervert justice.

Non conformist are found everywhere. They are in politics, social, religion and economic circle.

It is however interesting to note that the case described above is not always true in a compromised society. In an already compromised state, you are termed number one public enemy if you refused to be compromised. Some people will even have the audacity to say it to your face that you are in insane.

Well I do not know whether this is peculiar to the developing nation alone. People of the developed world should please tell us if this is the same pattern that exists in your countries.

You are considered a misfit if you don’t take bribe, if you don’t cheat in an examination, rig an election, if you are not smart as to swindle your fellow human being. This is the ratrace that has taking over our land.

You are tagged number one public enemy the moment they found you out as a nonconformist to the set rules, guidelines and conventional beliefs that pervades an already compromised settings.

Thank you.
