I know u will twist d narrative. Anyway have a lovely Messi day.

Before u attack Messi, pls tell us the world cup best player award that tapnaldo won, if he's so good at the world cup.

Tell us the year tapnaldo won the world cup.


Tell us the player with the highest assist.


Tell us the highest goal scorer without penalties.


Just agree and admit and save urself the difficult job and stress of defending tapnaldo. Tapnaldo is the 5th or 6th best player in history. He's not even in top three.
Don't mind that guy, it's best to ignore.
Even with facts, he's still not reasonable.
Frustrated losers,they know Ronaldo may never win the world cup,hence the @35 comparison.
My question is, has Ronaldo won the world cup @37 to be referenced as the GOAT as they claim?

The west especially USA have always held us in the throat forcing us to devalue our currency since time immemorial. Pls let the poor breath.
The value of the currency of any country is 98% based on their fiscal and monetary policies.
The sad reality is that Nigeria is not important to survival of the American state.
Saudi Arabia is supplying the crude oil we bring to the table.
We should develop our society and economy well enough, and watch the dollar fall lower than the naira.

At least we use oil because Jesus used it too. Even the Apostle James wrote that we should use anointing oil in healing the sick. Tithe is commanded by Christ. We're talking about things that are taken from juju and occult practices which the white garment mix with truth.
I understand you very well because I have been on both sides.
Honestly nothing is wrong with oschoffa's calling or with the doctrine.
Because after his calling,it was his country's men(Republic of Benin) idolaters he was preaching against.
And they really fought him spiritually before settling in Nigeria.
He was also a fisherman by profession.
Setting up altars to worship God is not wrong to me,but cele don't use any kind of coloured candles.
Cele originally don't wear white but white was introduced to bring uniformity and foster unity amongst members (so the poor wouldn't feel resentful).
Not wearing shoe, it's just a way of honouring the holy house of God, it's not bad to me.
The problem was that they allowed evil people infiltrate the church,set up parishes, fester and like you rightly pointed out,took full advantage of the similarities between the church doctrines and theirs to destroy the image of the church.
Because the funny thing is that during their sermon and announcement they discourage every act of sin and wickedness.
But a whole lot of reforms is needed to makes things right.

I'll suggest you find out the truth before taking a position.

I condemn the oppression of any human being by another one.

However, if we will be sincere, what is the agenda of NATO? Why the continual expansion? US and Russia don't see eye to eye, at least that is what they make us to believe, why does the US want to enter Ukraine in the name of NATO and then surround Russia?

I feel Russia is just trying to defend themselves. Though their leader could have made a better decision. He could easily have dialogued with Ukraine without the external guys.
Russia should be more friendly with it's neighbours .
Allow them express themselves and don't dictate to them.
Soviet era is gone,there is a new reality which works with DIPLOMACY.
Strong alliances was what Russia needed and those Baltic states would have expelled the US presence over time,backed by the Russian military might as well.
Putin didn't calculate well enough,he said in some couple of WEEKS the war would be over,it's been way long past that time.

I'm starting to get really irritated by the Russian terrorists on Nairaland,these Russian terrorists need psychological evaluation.
Putin is a mad man,very delusional and a crazy despot that needs to visit a psychiatrist as early as tomorrow morning.
I have tried to balance my information on this mad war Russia started in Ukraine,but the more I try to be rational,the more I see why Putin is nothing but a mad man.
I don't understand why mad man Putin will not allow Ukrainians determine their own destiny,why should Russia,another foreign country believe it has the power to determine the political direction of another sovereign country.
Why not allow hold a referendum in Ukraine,that will be conducted by a neutral body like the United Nations to known if the citizens of Ukraine want to join NATO or the European Union.
That was the most sensical thing to do before Mad Man Putin rolled in the tanks.
I'm very happy the whole world has finally demystified Mad Man Putin,he's nothing but a delusional,mad,crazy,psyocotic kleptomaniac that will be killed in Russia by his own generals.
And for his mad cretins on Nairaland,the Almighty God will allow you experience what the citizens of Ukraine are suffering in the hands of the Russia.

When I read the comments of some children who knows

NATO IS AVOIDING WAR WITH RUSSIA FOR YOUR SAKE.
NATO's decision to not close the sky over Ukraine is correct.
A shooting war between Russia and NATO should be
avoided
as much as possible and the way the US has been evading
that confrontation is simply the right thing to do.If you think
it
is cowardice, it is because you don't know and this post will
brief you.
Let me set it out in a very brief way. There are three types of
wars:
1. Conventional war - which is fought according to the rules
of war: Don't kill civilians and children, don't hit civilian
infrastructure, don't shoot surrendering enemy soldiers and
PoWs, etc.
2. Total war - which Russia seems to be fighting in Ukraine
right now and which it fought against Chechnya in Grozny. In
a total war, you just kill everybody you see and destroy
everything on your way.
3. Nuclear war.
On a normal day, Russia will fall quickly to NATO if NATO
engages it in a conventional or a total war and Putin has
admitted that much in a speech recently. There is no contest
in that. NATO's firepower is extensive and its generals are
top
level.
However, the mismatch will force Russia to quickly resort to
'final-solution' tactics while it can - it will launch its arsenal
of
nuclear weapons. Lets be quickly reminded that since the
1970s, both the West and Russia have thousands of nuclear
tipped missiles already programmed to hit targets in all
major
cities on each other's soil. With just the press of a button,
those missiles will fly out and head for their targets.
But there are difficulties. Both sides have watchmen that are
not sleeping. Every inch of Russian territory is under a 24/7
scan for missile launch by the West, using flare and heat
detection satellites. Russia has the same system.
The moment a rocket motor ignites (most missiles are
powered by rocket motors. Cruise missiles use air-breathing
jet engines - pretty much the same used by aeroplanes, but
they could be ramjets or jets with afterburners. Cruise
missiles are usually called precision guided weapons), they
know in the West. These missile scouts will start to track
the
missile or missiles and note their number, velocity and
heading. They have about 10 minutes to confirm and
reconfirm that missiles are being launched against the West.
In this case they will mostly be ICBMs (Intercontinental
Ballistic Missiles). Well, despite the heavy name, they are
actually simple orbital rockets that can get into orbit and
then
re-enter the earth at the appropriate location - above their
targets. At this point, they will release their thermonuclear
warheads or bombs (all modern nuclear bombs carry
thermonuclear warheads, that is, warheads that uses a small
hydrogen bomb to initiate a chain reaction in its main fission
bomb of Plutonium or Uranium). These warheads are shaped
like cones and they are about 1.2m in height with a base
diameter of about 800mm.
The real active ingredient, Uranium or Plutonium inside the
conical device is not bigger than a football but they are
packed with the horrendous power of creation itself, the
power of the nucleus of an atom called the Strong Force.
Two things will then happen in line with strictly established
procedures it call it Battle Order.
Once a missile attack is detected, the US will immediately
move it's president, his family, Pentagon chiefs and a few
citizens into a bunker that is about 2 kilometers below the
ground and under a mountain. It is suspended upon springs
so it can withstand tectonic forces from a nuclear blast on
the surface. The bunker contains provisions for two years to
sustain the occupants. (I have seen the image somewhere
about 25 years ago in maybe Times Magazine). Reporters
taken there were blindfolded and flown for hours so they will
not have a clear sense of direction. The location is totally
secret but it is suspected that it is Nevada. It was not dug
out
directly but a lateral tunnel was created several miles away
to
this subterranean site.
1. The West will launch countermeasures at these warheads.
(Usually, they will be 13 to 17 on each ICBM and at this
stage, they are in their terminal altitude in space). This is the
threat level the American THAAD anti-missile system is
designed to contain. It will fly into space and try to steer kill
vehicles into those warheads and of course, the success
rate
will understandably only be partial. Some will end up
successfully re-entering the earth and dive (under zero
power) for their targets. At this point, the Patriot system will
come into action and try to swat the warheads. The Patriot
complex deals with missiles within the atmosphere.
2. Simultaneously NATO will give orders for its own missile
launches and within minutes, you will see missiles rise from
silos and from submarines heading East to attack preset
targets. B-52s ('Stratofortress'), B1, ('Spirit') and B2 ('Bones')
-
all long range bombers will take off from the US, Germany
and probably Japan armed with hydrogen and Plutonium
bombs and head for Russia. There are also about 1,500
nuclear weapons on each side that are currently in the field,
mingled with conventional weapons but known to
commanders. Those are probably the most dangerous of all
these arsenal of nuclear weapons because they are already
and permanently dispersed in the field. All - everything will
be
launched within just about 30 minutes in this make or break
final combat.
Everything described above from the moment one side
launches its nuclear weapons will not take more than 45 to
60
minutes and it is all over. If the attack takes place at night,
right here in Nigeria, if you look northwest towards Europe or
east northwest towards the United States, or northeast
towards Russia, you will actually see a dull glow in your
night
sky though you won't hear the thunder of the explosions.
The next three days or even a week will be normal although
wind patterns may have become suspect. Thereafter, you
will
observe that the sky is getting darker and midday seems like
dusk. That is the cloud of a global thermonuclear warfare.
The sun will be screened out for months and plants will die
off. This will lead to global famine, first step. Of course,
global
trade is already gone and the world has reverted to primitive
levels. The Internet is no more and telephone services have
become epileptic.
Next will come the global outbreak of all forms of cancers
from radiation carried around the world by the cloud earlier
described. Death will become so much more desirable than
life that those alive will curse their lot.
There will be survivors of course: those who have been
hidden away in military grade silos and have ample supplies
to carry them for about two years.
Those who just manage to go through about three years of
life as foragers and scavengers and somehow have not been
killed by skin cancer, blood cancer and other forms of
metastasis. They are the ones that will populate the new
world and begin to try to establish a new civilization.
Now you have an idea why NATO keeps avoiding fighting
with
Russia. It is simply to keep YOU alive.
They won't take their time to read, think and learn so as to be able reason independently and make rational decisions.
The world is evolving and mistakes of the past have to be avoided at all cost.
No Nation can just misbehave today without global condemnation.
Not even America.
With the way some people reason on this platform,I fear for this country.
You can see one cloning another's moniker just to tarnish another person's image over what exactly?Isn't that wickness,and should be totally condemned to refrain others from doing such.
And some people are liking the post.

Thank you for asking.
Khalifa Hafter was the Libyan dissident General from the Army that staged a coup taking advantage of the Arab spring protests in 2011.
Majority of Libyans (especially the marginalised part ,Benghazi) had long time bottled up grudges and rebelled against his government.
Now to the question, it was Britain and France that interfered directly by creating and enforcing a " No fly zone " .
America supported by giving them real time information using the � satellite.
There is no record of America directly sending soldiers,not to talk of an INVASION.
I don't know if you're aware that it was ordinary Libyans that caught ghadaffi, humiliated before finally killing him.

Stalin did that during cold war. By 1991, USSR collapsed. It was USSR decision to form useless eastern block that allowed West to control world economy. China made similar mistake in 1950s/60s with leap forward and cultural revolution. Millions died. China reformed her economy and pulled out of Eastern block. In 70s, China economy was taking shape. Within 2 decades of reform, China storms the world. The truth is that no nation can develop without others.
