Ideological (holy) war: A war without end

I have often wondered why there are so many denominations of Christianity even though their practices are supposedly based on Jesus’ teachings.

If Christians, in my opinion, have good intentions of propagating the teachings of Christ, then, there should be one Church with different branches rather than different Churches with one branch. In so doing, the theme of Christianity will be harmonised.

APC And The Faces of Change

Buhari 72 years, Bola Tinubu 62 years Adebisi Akande 76 years

A young man posted the above photo on his Facebook page with the following caption; ‘see the faces of people that want to change Nigeria’.

“Faith Without Doubt Is Addiction” - Salman Rushdie

A few weeks back, Pope Francis made a Papal visit to the Philippines.

Many children get involved in drugs and prostitution".

By the way; who needs 'One Nigeria'?

In the past few weeks, the buzz in the media has been whether or not Major-General Muhammadu Buhari has the minimum qualification allowed by the Nigerian constitution to contest the 2015 presidential election.

Is Buhari the change that Nigeria needs?

In the 2008 US presidential election, Barack Obama’s campaign theme was Change.

Then, Obama promised Americans that he would change the way Washington was being run, if elected.

How not to fight and defeat Boko Haram

But first, let’s try answering this question. Who are the members of Boko Haram? Well, Nigerian government describe Boko Haram as a faceless terrorist organisation.

Yes; they are faceless with the exception of Abubakar Shekau who is the leader and the face of Boko Haram. He is the only known member of the Islamic sect.
