I get offended to say the least when people use God's name in their conversations even when it is clear that they live their lives quite opposite to what he says. People just don't get it. You cant be dressing half naked, acting sex scenes, selling porn and nudity, breaking up other peoples marriages and then say you are going to heaven because you believe in God. Someone even said the only requirement for entering heaven is believing in Jesus. Please don't be deceived and stop spreading lies and deceiving other people as well. Believing in God must go together with repenting of your sins. And no you can't just do some things and be a christian at the same time. Christianity is not organized religion, you don't get to make your own rules.  For the sake of little children watching and listening to entertainment, God is not immoral and doesn't accept the lifestyle of many entertainers. Whatever is not godly is not acceptable to him and many of the people who...

There is a popular dictum accepted by democracies all over the world that every democratic nation (people) has the kind of government it deserves. Unlike the other systems of government, democratic nations have the opportunity of electing their leaders from amongst themselves and the dominate ideology is that which is accepted by the people.  Also Von Savigny propounded a theory of law that the nature of any particular system of law had to be a reflection of the spirit of the people who had evolved it.

I think (and I stand to be corrected) that the attitude of our leaders is to an extant a reflection...

We commend the present government for tackling head on the Boko Haram insurgency and for recording progress. I am however concerned about the spate of killings in southern Kaduna and I am wondering what the federal government is doing about it. Should we not have a wholistic approach when it comes to issues of national interest? And treat every matter with the same level of urgency? Especially issues that deal with groups taking lives of innocent citizens. How sincere is this government in dealing with these issues ? If the president is concerned about tackling insurgency, then shouldn't the incessant killings in southern Kaduna bother him or is he less concerned about it because the killings are targeted at Christians? If president Buhari is interested in solving Nigeria's multi faceted problems then shouldn't he be more proactive? Appointing sharp technocrats who would deliver within a time frame instead of loyalists and political appointees. He has good intentions for...
