Nice one. I like Ethiopia. So unproblematic
As for unproblematic, you are obviously not following the Tigray revolt currently going on there. With refugees fleeing into Sudan. Or the Oromo issues over the years. Peace with Eritrea only came two years ago. A county that killed it ruling emperor in the emperors can hardly be called unproblematic.

Clear they are an inspirational nation with a great history but with a tumultuous history and present too.

Who told you all that s#it that you posted up there

Many of you here on NL are seriously uninformed. Simple.

Get educated, buddy. What you currently have in Ethiopia has been simmering for some years now. Egypt doesn't even have to do anything about it for it to actually explode into the inferno that it is at the moment.

The main external culprit- I'd we can even call them that- has got to be Eritrea. Not Egypt.
There is something seriously wrong with you.
Read what I wrote and read what you wrote.

Christianity came to Africa before It got to Europe.

The Ethiopian Eunuch that philip preached to was the first gentile convert IN the Bible.
And he took It back to Ethiopia.

God told Joseph to take Baby Jesus to Egypt so that Herod will not kill him.

Anybody that said white people brought Christianity to Africa does not know bible history.

So did they tell you Christ preached or converted anyome during his time in Egypt?

I don't think so if they can get into Sudan and Kenya it won't be difficult to get into Ethiopia.... I think the Ethiopians resisted every attempt by the whites to get into their country,m not sure though
Yeah, you are right. Don't forget that Ancient Abyssinian now modern day Ethiopia is located around and surrounded with Top Hills, mountains and rocks so all these geographical formation and landforms really help them to relentlessly resist the coming of white slave traders coming to their land by climbing on top of those rocks hills mountains and start shooting them fire arrows and spears from above nearly kill all the white Invaders anytime they tried to enslaved them.. A lots of ambush were also done.. They successfully resist against white slave traders.

So in your mind now, only Nigerian churches worship pastors? Have you been to other countries before? Until you do, you should keep quiet. Stop using your limited Nigeria knowledge to judge global issues

Peter may have built his church upon a rock, but the ruling king in 12th century Ethiopia decided to build his churches into the rocks themselves.

There was no Peter that built any church on a rock. That's bible mythology.

But what you see in Ethiopia is the real Peter's church standing on a literal rock and not a myth. The Ethiopians right here in Africa believed in the God Ptah (Peter) the un-created creator for thousands of years when there were no Christianity or should I say before their belief system became plagiarized as christianity by Europeans. Before then, only black people right here in Africa believed these things but it wasn't to colonize, get rich, or kill anybody who doesn't believe it.

Your bible got the word Peter from the ancient Egyptian God Ptah, which was worshiped in ancient Ethiopia a.k.a Egypt, in a city called Memphis or Hekuptah. Hekuptah literally means "house of Ptah" i.e the place where God has build his everlasting (rock) church, and that's what the Ethiopians replicated over there. That's how your bible got the saying of a christ building his church on Peter (Rock/everlasting).

The white man has fooled you. He took your stuff, repackaged it, and used it to enslave you!!.

Attached is a picture of Peter (black man) in the Vatican worshiped by the popes. But they would give you a WHITE Peter in public and won't let you know that the first image of Peter was a BLACK man.

this is just a tip, most of the books of the bible had its roots from scripts lifted from Egyptian texts, eg the book of psalms, the tablet contains texts which pre dates the origin of Christianity, the intellectual of the christian religion are from Africa which moves towards Europe, through the Hebrews who spent 400 years in Africa took back many doctrines, these contacts influenced the founding of Christianity, till when it became the centre of power trough the emperor Constantine who gave preference to the new religion till the time of gregory the grate where the medieval version of Christianity thrived, even the great Christian libraries, churches, fortes were captures and converted to mosques and Islamic sites, from then on various varieties of Christianity evolved and the older were exterminated,
read up and find light

[quote author=mansakhalifa post=96061855]

[s]When you won't watch the news, why won't you be talking like someone in a beer parlour[/s].

You mean like the 9th Century Beer Parlour Pedophile Pervert Prophet Muhammad used to get intoxicated at before claiming Allah revealed verses like qu'ran 33:50 to justify his sexual deviancy with his own adopted son's wife after seeing her uncovered. You know how he loves to claim everything he does is divine including sleeping with 9year old girl child.

Muslim-3753: ''We were with the Prophet of Allah, and He was thirsty, and a man said: O prophet of Allah, Do you want to drink wine? Prophet of Allah said: Yes.The Man went to get the wine. The Prophet of Allah said: Make it Intoxicated. And He (Muhamad) Drank.”



Just keep to your Zeeworld or whatever religious channel it is that you watch and stop trying very hard to analyse international affairs or politics.

[b]I will do well to stick to Zeeworld. It makes for a better leisure experience especially after I am done with my qu'ran and hadiths readings to calm my brain after reading stuffs like this:

Hadith
وَفِي لَفْظٍ لَهُ: { لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَحُكُّهُ يَابِسًا بِظُفُرِي مِنْ ثَوْبِهِ } (38)‏ .‏
In yet another version of Muslim:

Verily! I ("Aisha) used to scrape it (the semen) off his garment with my nails while it was dry.

Bulugh al-Maram 28
In-book : Book 1, Hadith 33
English translation : Book 1, Hadith 32
Bulugh Al Maram

Hadith
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ رُبَّمَا فَرَكْتُهُ مِنْ ثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِيَدِي ‏.‏
It was narrated that 'Aishah said:

"I often scraped it (semen) from the garment of the Messenger of Allah with my hand."

Sahih (Darussalam)

English : Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 537
Arabic : Book 1, Hadith 580
Sunan Ibn Majah
[/b]

Ethiopia's current crisis is of the ethnic sort. Religion has absolutely nothing to do with it.

This was the only part you actually made sense and I agree with you here but you will agree with me to a large extent Islam is an violent ideology.

But I figure you still won't be able to understand what I am trying to pass across. So, don't bother stressing your brain until you embarrass yourself on a global proportion.

Nobody alive will be able to equal the embarrassing details of Muhammad's life as 1.6billion people today call "divine" the actions of a 54year old man who slept with a 9year old girl child.
grin grin you are one who say this embarrassing thing,abi?!!

The problem with you guys is down to the fact that you know absolutely nothing about Africa.

You don't know crap hence you are prone to be shocked/surprised by normal things such as these.


What do you expect when Nigerian government has eradicated history as a subject from the Nigerian education curriculum? When a people don't read and study their history, they will be forever lost.
