@4Him
check out other billionaires on the list from Russia to India,from Brazil to Singapore,and see that they too got lots of Govt assistance,the important thing is to keep The wealth of a nation within its shores and controlled by its people,its a shame that there are only 2 verifyable black billionaires in the whole of Africa,mainly because we let outsiders exploit and control our wealth. . .peace

There are very well much more than 2 billionaires from Africa . . . the problem is most of them are thieves whose hands are soiled by the contents of government's cookie jar.
Babangida is richer than Dangote . . .

I dont respect Dangote . . . thanks to him our budding rice industry went underground. I'd rather have a viable food industry that depends less on imports than rich thieves finding their way to the Forbes rich list.

. . . with plenty of government assistance.

Timmy . . . why havent you gone with her to her family and made your point?
Someone asked a very important question you need to answer . . . what do you want her back for? to waste another 8yrs of her life?

bababuff:
None of you have been able to dispute the facts.

All the highlighted above are known facts. The West and The East controls everything. You guys are parasities.

Yes the above are facts that cannot be disputed but the irony is that those who are crying the loudest need to look under their dusty cooking pots for the real reasons for those facts.

The East and West control everything NOT because they have cornered all the juicy oil contracts but because of the individual enterprise of southerners.
No Igbo man has ever been president of Nigeria . . . how do you explain that they have a larger share of the economy as compared to the north?

How did we steal all the economy from under ur noses?

Mallam Bello's attempt to rope in the south south is laughable. When push comes to shove the north will be all alone.

@4Him: Do I need to say more? David, you have said everything! You have made permissible what was forbidden before.

1. The ancient laws of Moses as regard what to eat or where does not apply to the gentile (non Jew).
2. Please read the book of Acts . . . the story of Peter's vision while lying on the roof of his house.

olabowale:
Yet you call Abraham the father of your faith?

Abraham is the father OF faith.

olabowale:
Directly from God Almighty Creator.

Why then are you crying about Paul having never met Jesus Christ?

olabowale:
While i was saying nothing, you were able to get from that nothing the commandment written on the stone. The importance of it to me is that it is in the Sharia of All''ah Musa (as) was my Messenger prophet as well. The Commandments given to Musa (as) was sent by All''ah. And it is in the AlQur"an as well. IT is part of the laws of Sharia, because the core of Sharia is worship of One God and no Imagery and no association. Notice that we are all circumcised? You are because you are Yoruba man. Mine is religious on top of the Yorubaness. You also realise that in normal conditions we will not eat Pork!

More dishonesty. All of a sudden the 10 commandments find their way into the sharia?
Why did al'lah give the commandments to the lineage of Isaac and not to the house of Ishmael his first born?

What commandments were the children of Ishmael living by all these while?
Your p enis might be circumcised but it is the circumcision of your heart that matters to God. Until you do so you may as well grow another foreskin.

Her age is a number. She loves you and is willing to respect you then by all means go ahead.

Ibime:
[b]Bello blamed the reform agenda of former President Olusegun Obasanjo for creating “very dangerous economic structure,” which had worsened the situation of the North.[b]

Mallam Bello, the north is forever blaming everyone but themselves. Between 1979 and 1999 (Nigeria's worst 20yrs) the north was fully in power, what did you do to address the inbalance in the north?
Did your leaders build new schools? Did they have the foresight to turn ur vast lands into tourist attractions or large scale farms? How many industries did they attract to the north?

All of a sudden a 4yr reform by Obasanjo is to blame for us having 94% of the banking sector?
Mallam Bello . . . what happened to the government owned Bank of the North? Have you turned that into a banking eldorado?

olabowale:
@Adeyinkat: But Jesus never ate pork and he was circumcised! Yet today we see through followership of Paul, instead of abserverance of Jesus actions and commandments, not only do you eat whatever, including pork, but the law of circumcision is been neglected and rejected, seprating yourself from the covenant of God with Abraham. Whats equally bad or even worse is the discarding of the first commandment and all commandments which are related to it of the Oneness of god!

The law of circumcision is still well and truly alive . . . no longer is it the physical circumcision of the cutting of the foreskin . . . but the circumcision made without hands . . .  buried with Christ in baptism.
Jesus never ate pork (your own oppinion) but i love pork . . . how can i call unclean that which God has made clean? Read the revelation given to Peter (not Paul) in the book of acts.

The covenant of God with Abraham was written in the blood of rams . . . the new covenant is written with the blood of Jesus Christ.

olabowale:
You conveniently forgot that Paul was in the company ofthe direct apostles of Jesus and he heard plenty of story! They educated him plenty.

how did m'ohammad get his own stories?

olabowale:
Then it is no wonder that the law of God given to Moses and it was so important that it be etched in Stone, as quickly done away with in a period that is less than 2000 years after it was given! Do you think God changes His cre plan so easily? No, my man! The singular plan of God is worshipping Him alone without any association! That was what all prophets delivered. And when it came to Moses and because of the stubbornness of the children of Israel nations, God have this very core command wriiten down as etching on Stones called tablets! To now tell us that all of that is simply dismissed by Paul's hypothesis, while Jesus who Paul and others raised to position of deity did not dismiss these core commandments! Hence, Jesus could not have failed to tell his apostles the truth for all the time of his ministry, then he had to wait for an evil strange man, who never saw him alive at anytime! One group must not be telling the truth. That group will not be Jesus!

Alhaji, you seem to be huffing and puffiing essentially saying nothing. Why is this commandment on the tablet of stone so important to you? Was it sent by all'ah? Is it in your the great book? Is it by any means part of the laws of sharia?

tpaine:
No one has really tackled the issues I raised in this post; And these are:

1) Was Jesus really a strict follower of the Judaic laws on diet, cleanliness, sabbath etc?

2) Did Paul really "know" Jesus and did he preach Jesus's message?

3) Is the version of Christianity that survived (ie Pauline) in keeping with Jesus's teachings, which would have been better known and understood by the Jerusalem gang (ie the Jamesians)?

1. No, those laws could not save . . . the real essence of Christ's coming was to lay down His life as a sacrifice for sin . . .
The law was essentially man's struggle to reach God . . . Christ came that we may be reconciled to Him by grace and hereby are we (gentiles) no longer under those laws.

2. Paul may not have been Christ's disciple but he was tutored by those who followed Christ. He was a contemporary of Peter, James and John. Men who walked with Christ for 3.5yrs.
However the same question can be leveled against mo'hammad . . . the quran is replete with stories of Jesus, did m'ohammad EVER see Jesus Christ?

3. Peter, James, John (all disciples of Christ) wrote their own letters to the brethren. None of them conflicts with Paul's letters.

I am still scratching my head as to what exactly Mallam Bello wants . . . .
Should the government forcefully nationalise the southern Banks and hand them over to the north?

Shouldnt we be telling mallam Bello that the poverty of manpower, illiteracy, constant religious crisis and the generally inept leadership in the north is the real problem why industries can never grow there?

oyb:
As the UK marks 200 years since the Parliamentary Act to abolish the slave trade, slavery goes on in another form.

Several things are pertinent to note here . . . the form of "slavery" you claim goes on in the UK is regarded AS A CRIME and is severely punished under the law. It is very different from the government-backed forms of institutionalised slavery that goes on in arab nations like Sudan and Mauritania where slavery has NEVER been abolished.

oyb:
abegi, enjoy your western imperialist religion where jesus ( who incidentally, was also an arab - wonder why the christian god would have chosen an arab as his son ) is white, God is white, the angels are white. . . please spare us the bullshit. no be God, Gold and Glory them take colonise the rest of the world back in the day?

Amazing. Jesus Christ was a Jew . . . that one is an established fact over 2000yrs old. His genealogy both from mother and father is in the bible for ALL to see. Citing a wikipedia article as the source of ur information is laughable.

By the way i think the REAL question you shld be asking is WHY al'lah, an arab imperialist "god" chose ALL his so-called prophets bar m'ohammad from the jewish race.

What does Mallam Bello want? Should we cede the sea to them so they can have a seaport too?
Where was Mallam Bello when our leaders where going to school?

stillwater:
Which automatically translates you would be shaking like waterleaf when popping the question . As I earlier said "will you be my wife" will work for me. I definitely will not spend four good years as the poster said with a guy without thinking or insinuating about marriage, so no need for outrageous long stories.

mba why will i be shaking so badly. At this point i shld know the girl well enough to know what her answer would be.
You're right though, after 4yrs no more room for long tori. Just give her a ring and tell her to meet you at the church . . .

tpaine:
In what sense is the word judge used in these passages? Was this meant to prohibit exercising evaluative practices on the behaviour of others. Was this a prohibition on judicial practices?

Was this meant to prohibit exercising evaluative practices on the behaviour of others? - No, we see plenty of examples in the new testament of the apostles constructively criticising each other.

Was this a prohibition on judicial practices? - No, the same Jesus Christ said . . . give unto Ceaser the things that are Ceasers. The bible also enjoins us to respect constituted government authority which includes the judiciary.
Paul and co were brought before magistrates, they dutifully complied.

stillwater:
Deeply stare into her eyes and say "Would you be my wife?" Be serious while saying it. I can't stand jittery men. At least that will work for me, don't know about others. No long stories, short and smooth.

- i don't think every man has to look serious while popping the question, everyone has a particular style that works well for them.
- Its easier said than done, most men are bound to be nervous asking a question that will not only impact their's but your life forever. Expect some fidgeting . . . remember "NO" is a possible answer.

The question doesnt even have to be the cliched "will you be my wife" . . . there are several ways of telling her, if she understands you well enough she should get the message. The most important thing to me is not just a wife but a mother to my future kids . . . i am more tempted to use that instead.
Different strokes for different folks.

RichyBlacK:
Ogbe mi, it affects Venezuela because Colombia shares borders with Venezuela, and based on Uribe's logic, Colombia has the right to violate Venezuela's territorial integrity. Chavez wants to make sure that if Colombia acts foolishly, that Uribe will pay a hefty price for his arrogance. That's the issue here.

Silly excuse . . . Colombia knows full well not to go rampaging in the den of mad men like Chavez . . . a man who uses Ecuador as his excuse to mass troops along his border is better left alone.

I am worried more about the obvious double standard you represent. When the US raised objections as to Turkey pursuing Kurdish rebels into Iraq (a fellow sovereign nation just like Ecuador) . . . i remember people like you and Afam openly encouraging Turkey by claiming that they had a right to do so.

olulu:
True, i concur
because smelling shit, and even eating shit, love conquers all

but men, if na that kain water water shit, wey dey run like tap , and smell like corpse,
i pity the guy o, infact i feel him pain.

Reminds me of the day , back in secondary school, when i was trapped in my house master's one room apartment.
i had sneaked in through the window in order to retrieve my tee shirt he seized earlier, when the man suddenly came in, i barely made it under his bed. it was around 8pm, and so he was suppose to been going round checking on students observing prep. the toilets were built separate from the hostel, and it is a huge risk to enter the toilets at night, u might step on "sum smelly human produced land mines". so u either enter bush or u do "short put" for late night shits.
Anyway, na so the man just grabbed one big bowl like that, took off his clothes sharp sharp,
and started to shit right there in the middle of the room.
Omoooo,, when i got out later that night,
i was ill for 2weeks, his shit was nasty men, i was weak all over and even fainted.
the tee shirt? i left it o, that was d last tin on my mind, escape from the smell was top priority.

we don't need chemical weapons with those kind of shit.

Olala olulu, i had to grip my sides.

This ur housemaster's wife would have grounds to have her husband arrested for throwing his pebbles while she was taking a shower.

[size=16pt]Ecuador President: Colombian gov't wants war, not peace[/size]

How does this affect Venezuela? I'm yet to hear anything concrete from you people besides the constant recourse to false conspiracy theories.

spoilt:
Guys want to bang but they don't want to commit.

dont blame guys. Women think that banging is the key to the hallowed chambers of marriage.

spoilt:
Anyway guys have a way of posing when it comes to marriage. In their hearts they know you are a real babe and a half and the best chick to ever darken their doorway but on the outside they form and act like they don't want to marry.

You talk true my sister.

spoilt:
"I have finally agreed to marry you" ! Hehehehe. The more i repeat it to myself , the more ridiculous it sounds.

Actually when i think of it now it wasnt so bad. I wish the girl could have had a better sense of humor.

Tornadoz:
Hunt down a "known terrorist" by violating the integrity of another nation.

1. Was Venezuela the nation in question? why is it crying louder than the Ecuadorians?
2. Turkey did the same just a few weeks ago in Iraq . . . Syria has been doing same in Lebanon for decades . . . where is the condemnation from you?

Tornadoz:
Read the response of the OAS.

It is just another worthless piece of paper . . .

Tornadoz:
A bit of research would tell you the evil CIA has been trying to kill Hugo "Boss" Chavez. Where do you get your news?

By using the Colombian army? Where do you get your theories?

@Nwando: At least I am clean and my body and soul are focused on the Almighty, alone. You should join in on it!

Does sand also clean the body?

ah ma du du lie
they should let sleeping dogs lie O

they cant. A certain prophet had a morbid fear of dogs.

Tornadoz:
Venezualian's are not waiting for the marauding Colombian army to enter Caracas.

The Colombian army was not a maurading jaunt but to hunt down a known international terrorist.
Why is Ecuador not responding as fiercely as Venezuela is responding? That should be food for thought for clueless people like you who spend more time typing than thinking.

RichyBlacK:
1. Venezuela is crying foul because they see the hands of the evil cabal of death in Washington DC in this brazen violation of international laws.
2. They know that George W. Bush and his henchmen directed this temporary invasion of a sovereign nation.

Conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality are the last preserve of the desperately ignorant.

RichyBlacK:
3. They're know that the person they're targeting is none other than Hugo (Boss) Chavez himself.

Dont you think a brazen attack in Ecuador was one of the worst ways to go about hunting an enemy in Venezuela? If the CIA wanted to kill Chavez they dont have need of the Colombian army.

RichyBlacK:
4. They are aware that the bloodthirsty cartel in the present White House will do anything to get at Chavez.
5. They are also aware that Bush and his goons want to use lies, just as they lied against Saddam Hussein, to implicate Hugo Chavez in (i) funding terrorism; (ii) attempting to purchase nuclear weapons; (iii) having links with al-qaeda; etc.

Disgraceful.

RichyBlacK:
We know Bush's plan to steal Venezuelan oil, just like he has stolen Iraq's oil, and this time he will surely fail! The American people are now smarter and wiser after he fooled many of them.

Turkey surely went to Southern Iraq to steal oil too dont you think?

RichyBlack isnt here to condemn slavery?
Maybe the topic should be changed to "Slaves in America" . . .

Who do you think would have had better knowledge of Jesus - someone who spent time with him in the flesh or someone who never met him in the flesh?

This is the EXACT same reason no right thinking fellow would take m'ohammad the charlatan serious, at least Paul was alive to have seen the disciples of Jesus face to face.

Richie my questions are waiting.

RichyBlacK:
Hey you should be updating yourself with political facts instead of always blindly supporting neoconic views.

Perhaps you should be updating yourself with political facts instead of always blindly supporting Arab imperialist ideals espoused by the likes of Chavez.

RichyBlack take your head out of the sand, not a single one of ur news clippings addresses the REAL QUESTION - why is Venezuela crying more than the bereaved?

RichyBlacK:
So you want Venezuela to wait till that US lap dog called Uribe violates Venezuela's territorial integrity before acting?

1. Your response in no way answers my question.
2. Uribe did not violate Ecuador's territorial integrity just on purpose . . . there was a clear REASON so your prevarications are nothing but bogus speculations that reside in the fantasies of ostriches who have their heads firmly buried in the sands of denial.
3. Why is Venezuela and not Ecuador the one crying loudly over Uribe's actions?

4. Why is this event of more importance than Turkey's recent incursion into Southern Iraq?

I've been desperately looking for a way to blame this on the US or Israel . . . anyone care to help me spot some tiny loophole?

RichyBlack . . . is Ecuador a province of Venezuela?
