Oh death where is thy sting, oh grave where is thy victory for I now realize that to live is Christ and to die is gain and that there is but a little to enjoy here on earth compared to greater glory in heaven then concluded that the devil has loosed it all.

Pastor Paul was such a good man.
May his soul rest in perfect peace and may we take inspiration from the life he lived. RIP Pastor Paul Even though your life here on earth was short, it was very fulfilling as you were able to accomplish everything that our heavenly father assigned you. You knw what people? Pastor passed his assignments with an honor and a distinction. Ride on Pastor Paul the angles are waiting 4 you, it is time to sing "God will take care of You in heaven".
Pastor Linda, I know this is very hard for you and the kids but dear the lord is your strength and he will see you through. We can only thank God for the life of such a great prophet, gospel artist, pastor, leader, teacher, husband, father and friend. In Pastor Paul you could find every good adjective to define a true child of God.
We will miss you so dearly and all we have left of you now are the great memories we shared and wc we will forever remember. There is one more angle in heaven named Paul Irabor!!! I can only imagine the dance shoes you have on dancing in front of your heavenly father. Go on Pastor Paul u have assignment to do in heaven. We love u and wish you could stay but God needs you to lead praise and worship in heaven, you raised a great generation who will carry your mantle on.
Go do ur thing Pastor, do what you do best, praising and worshiping God until we meet again. What a shocking news! Much as we would've loved to have Pastor Paul Irabor live longer, we can't question God. However, we take solace in the scripture which says: to live is Christ and to die is gain. Indeed, Paul Irabor touched many lives both with his inspirational gospel songs as well as with his practical approach in administering the Gospel.
He will sadly be missed. May God grant the entire family the courage and fortitude to bear this sudden shock and grant succor to his wife and children.
However, we take solace in the scripture which says that: to live is Christ and to die is gain. I know that Paul Irabor has gone home to rest, though his absence here on Earth will be missed dearly by all of us but we take consolation in the fact that soon and very soon we will meet to part no more.
His death is still a rude shock to me. I find it hard to accept. Pastor Paul was a brother. These issues have consequences for the principle of loyal opposition and democratic stability in Nigeria. Doi: Politics, no doubt is a game of number.
Therefore, the support base of political parties in terms of quantity of supporters is a determinant to winning election. The study adopted the theory of games as a theoretical model to unfold the The study adopted the theory of games as a theoretical model to unfold the scheming mechanism embedded in the new dimension of cross-carpeting by Nigeria's political actors. Whereas the game theory is anchored on the rationality of the behaviour of the players participating in the game, such assumption may just be a theoretical construct against the backdrop of incessant cross-carpeting among Nigerians political actors.
The study affirmed that, while cross-carpeting is a feature of multiparty democracy like Nigeria, it can only be relevant when elected office holders respect the "rules of the game'' that guide cross-carpeting. Therefore, indiscriminate cross-carpeting by the political actors is antithetical to democratic consolidation. Introductory Notes and Problematic Both Political parties and political actors politicians are generally considered crucial elements of a democratic regime.
Robert Dahl cited in Awofeso and Irabor, for instead observed that the existence of political parties competing for power within a framework that guarantees equal chances for all is one of the fundamental characteristics of a democratic regime. Political regimes that do not allow political opposition and competition among political parties for the votes of the people are not 'competitive' and as a consequence not democratic Doorenspleet, On the other hand, political parties are expected to conform to certain generalised political imperatives of inter-party movement.
It is this structure and defining modalities for intra-party and inter-party interrelationships that enhance multi-party system in pluralist democracy. Therefore addressing the issue of cross-carpeting has become pertinent because of its consequences on democracy.
The notion and definition of political parties in terms of " conflict of claims, of values, of interest, and of goals'' Ake, , seem to explain the applicability of the theory of games to new patterns of cross-carpeting in Nigeria. Since politics is synonymous with conflict, political parties are essentially conflictual and prone to crisis in the struggle for power, which is centre on individual interest.
Defined as a body of thought dealing with rational decision strategies in situations of conflict and competition Neumann and Monrgenstern, , the game theory, believes in mathematical models to political studies. The game theory is depended on two or more players. In this kind of games, it is impossible for one person to make a choice. Therefore, there is bound to be divergent interest among the players participating in the game. Thus, the nexus between the game theory and cross-carpeting in Nigerian politics is centered on the possibility of interest that accommodates the two concepts.
A further justification for this approach is the fact that cross-carpeting is a fallout of the crisis engender by the struggle for power by different political actors. This position notwithstanding, parties are the major instrument for harmonization and coordination of different groups in a multi ethnic society. It should be recalled that ethnic affiliation and religion preferences underscored cross-carpeting in the pre-independence and post-independence periods When the first episode of cross-carpeting occurred in , it was a calculated strategy to stop Dr.
In the First Republic , personality rivalries between members of leadership of parties exert great influence on cross-carpeting. This was the case of the Action Group between Chief Ladoke Akintola and Chief Obafemi Awolwo which led to eventual splitting of the party into separate and distinct parties Awofeso, By the second and third republics, political patronage and money politics necessitated the need for politicians to cross from one party to the other.
Cross-carpeting of this secenario was that of Chief Akin Omoboriowo who was elected as the Deputy Governor of Ondo State under the platform of the Unity Party of Nigeria but left the party to the National Party of Nigeria to contest as its gubernatorial candidate Sodeine, In Nigeria's Fourth Republic, the political space saw the liberalization of the party system to multi-party system.
This is evident with the registration of more than fifty to sixty political parties Slizbeat, However, out of fifty to sixty parties in Nigeria, few of them are recognized in the country, while others are just minority groups. This is as a result of frequent cases of cross-carpeting among Nigeria's political actors each time they perceived any treat to their political fortune.
