It was Mahatma Gandhi who said he admired Christ not Christians. I guess he said this to remind people that most Christians are definitely not Christ-like. One cannot claim to be a Christian when his attitude is opposite of the principle that we are called to live by. There is no middle ground in this race.

This is because when any member of the virtually constituted group comes in contact with a man, his lover is in a big trouble. Victims of this group can testify to this because if whenever they strike, there is no going back on the part of the men.

The secret moves to remove Professor Attahiru Jega from INEC at all cost is not over after all.

Buhari’s Speech at Chatham House – Nigeria’s Transition

Read the speech below...
Permit me to start by thanking Chatham House for the invitation to talk about this important topic at this crucial time.

But as we all know, Nigeria is now battling with many challenges, and if I refer to them, I do so only to impress on our friends in the United Kingdom that we are quite aware of our shortcomings and are doing our best to address them.
