Kobolander:Exactly, I suspect Tinubu's reforms might not align with US interests, and the US wouldn't want to lose control over Africa's most populous nation. The Christian genocide claims could be an excuse for the US to pressure Nigeria into negotiations. One concern might be Nigeria reducing its dollar dependency, which the US dislikes, similar to Gaddafi's plans for Africa. If Tinubu reverses policies hurting the US, they might drop the allegations. Otherwise, they could use these claims to undermine his 2027 re-election bid and install a more compliant leader. Peace! |
Brendaniel:Since the writer isn't Nigerian, I didn't bother reading it. You cling to non-Nigerian opinions. Our discussion lacks substance because you rely on unscientific claims and quotes from those hindering Africa's progress. We've reached an impasse; don't take offense if I don't respond further. This conversation isn't fruitful. Thanks anyway. Peace! |
Brendaniel:Lol, one amusing observation about Igbo people is their tendency to passionately share any write-up or video that praises them—sometimes for years—fueling viewership for online content creators who understand them. However, there appears to be no other tribe with as much internal conflict and hatred towards each other like the Igbos; many Igbos seem to struggle with supporting each other’s progress. Stories of brothers harming each other—whether through hired killers or traditional charms—and the denial of a brother’s children to gain inheritance are widely recounted. In fact, many Igbos reportedly prefer living among other ethnic groups rather than among themselves. The Southeast is characterized by numerous vacant mansions, as many have relocated, and visiting during festive seasons is often considered unsafe due to the risks of kidnapping or violence, sometimes orchestrated by relatives themselves. For clarity, I am not Yoruba, as previously stated—I am from the Middle Belt. I am not interested in the opinions of colonial authorities about the Igbo people; my conclusions are drawn from direct observation and experience. What concerns me most is your definition of a nation, which I have already disputed. A nation is not defined by a shared ideology, but rather by shared language, culture, history, and/or territory. I hope you now understand this distinction. Peace! |
Brendaniel:None of the characteristics mentioned—language, culture, history, and territory—is synonymous with the word "ideology." Honestly, I would suggest you go back to school, but it seems schooling has not helped; perhaps returning to your shop is more appropriate. Ignorance is a disease that is affecting you. Did you know that, genetically, based on DNA testing, Yorubas, Igbos, Gaa, and Akan are 99.9 percent similar? This evidence has disproved the Yoruba story of ancestors descending from the heavens and the claim of Jewish ancestry among Igbos. If you conduct your own research, you will be surprised how Yorubas and Igbos—despite speaking different languages and perceiving themselves as different peoples—are nearly identical at the genetic level. For clarity, I am neither Igbo nor Yoruba; I come from the Middle Belt. I am simply sharing knowledge you apparently missed during your years in school. Even though this evidence is publicly available, you remain blinded by ignorance, which fuels enmity and hatred among yourselves. Interestingly, some African Americans’ DNA tests reveal Nigerian ancestry with a percentage linked to Yoruba, yet in other results, the same percentage is identified as Igbo, reflecting that Yoruba and Igbo genetics are 99.9 percent identical. Peace! |
Brendaniel:Your comment proves that speaking English doesn't equate to being educated, as there are many like you. Defining a nation by shared ideology is misguided. Your education seems wasted, clouded by your fixation on Biafra. Just like families, nations are made of individuals with varying beliefs and ideologies. Embracing diversity and finding common ground is key to harmony, rather than division. Even if Nigeria splits, Igbos won't gain more than the Southeast. Other regions (such as South-South) won't join Biafra, not even Igbo-speaking areas in the South-South. They'd prefer independence over unity with Igbos. Understand this reality. Peace! |
Zonefree:Lol, because na nyash be her greatest asset. ![]() |
To tackle inflation and naira devaluation, Nigeria could follow Ghana's lead and redenominate the naira. By removing a zero from current denominations, resulting in new notes like N1 (formerly N10), N2, N5, N10, N20, N50, N100, N500, and N1,000 (instead of N10,000 note). This simplifies transactions and aligns with Ghana's successful cedi redenomination. ![]() Peace! |
Una sure say no be from Nigerians she learn this form of inappropriate behavior? Here in Nigeria, open defecation and urination are treated as normal practices, almost like a right. ![]() |

GeneralOuki:Regarding the use of Google, I recognize that Google is not an authoritative source for religious knowledge. However, it can provide references and reveal popular opinions on certain topics. If Google indicates that December 25 was originally celebrated as the birth of the Roman god Sol Invictus and was later adopted as the date for Jesus’s birth by Christians, it means the majority of sources suggest this. Your perspective—that all pagan festivals eventually adopted December 25 due to Christian influence—may be in the minority. I tend to follow the majority view presented by Google, but it is also valuable to be aware of differing opinions like yours. At no point did I claim that paganism has crept into the Bible itself; rather, I stated that it has entered Christianity—a point you agreed with. Idol worship is not present anywhere in the Bible, but more than two-third of Christians today act no differently than idol worshippers. A Jew once remarked in a YouTube video that, despite the conflicts between Jews and Muslims, if given a choice, he would rather pray in a mosque than in a church, because Jews see Christians as idol worshippers and consider their places of worship as sites of idolatry. This is why I argue that Christianity needs reform, although it is unfortunate that many Christians are more interested in miracles and wonders than in the true teachings of Jesus, making them susceptible to today’s so-called Men of God (Pastorpreneurs). You initially objected to the idea that there are errors in the Bible, let alone the 50,000 claimed by Jehovah’s Witnesses. However, you later admitted that “not all books in the Old Testament were divinely inspired,” and that some portions are historical records that might contain errors. Can you specify which books in the Bible are not historical accounts or at least do not include any historical content? In reality, history and divine revelation are interwoven throughout, from Genesis to Revelation. Which book of the Bible contains God’s words exclusively, untainted by history? Errors, therefore, are scattered throughout the text. I dislike incoherence in statements, such as the inconsistency you have shown, unless this change in stance results from recognizing the discrepancy I pointed out about Jehoiachin’s age when he became king. Concerning the Bible’s translators, I agree with you that they were both linguists and scholars. William Tyndale, for example, was a priest, scholar, and linguist who translated the New Testament directly from Greek and Hebrew into English. John Wycliffe is often credited with the first complete English translation, along with his followers in the 1380s. The 54 scholars who produced the King James Version in 1611 were also both linguists and Bible scholars. However, you seem to underestimate the scale of errors that could have arisen during translation and the number of doctrines that may have resulted from such mistranslations, especially as most versions in other local languages were translated from earlier translations. Every mistranslated word can change the meaning of a passage and lead readers to different interpretations. Without a universally recognized book of exegesis, every pastor is free to provide whatever interpretation suits them. What is your view on Jeremiah 8:8, which suggests that the holy book or laws may have been altered by unfaithful scribes? Do you accept this verse at face value? If so, it implies that errors have indeed found their way into the Bible and have significantly impacted God’s word and law. Or do you prefer to seek an alternative interpretation to avoid the verse’s apparent meaning? ![]() This is the first time I have encountered a Christian who does not believe that the Holy Spirit is necessary to understand the Bible. However, this view is not consistent with the Bible, which explicitly states that the Holy Spirit aids in understanding scripture. For instance, John 14:26 says: “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” This verse emphasizes the Holy Spirit’s role in teaching and in helping believers remember Jesus's teachings. Another relevant verse is John 16:13: “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.” Some Muslim scholars believe that these verses—and others—are prophetic references to Muhammad (sometimes identified as the “Spirit of Truth”), whom they believe brought teachings similar to those of Jesus, but in greater detail. Perhaps you have your own interpretation, just as many Christians do. Salam! |

illicit:Two (2). Women stand on two legs—their own and their husband's. This suggests that in most cases, women rely on their spouses for support not the other way round. Peace! |
ayoplenty:Lol, so, if I say the truth about Roman Catholic idol worship, I shouldn't end my statement with "peace"? Na "war" I for take end am abi? 😂 "Shalom aleichem" is a Hebrew greeting that means "peace be upon you," to which the traditional response is "Aleichem shalom" ("and upon you be peace" ). Shalom aleichem – (As)salamu Alaikum Aleichem shalom – (Wa) Alaikum Salam Salam! |
GeneralOuki:I just asked Google this question, "When was Sol Invictus born?" and this is an excerpt or part of what Google provided: "The birth of the Roman god Sol Invictus was celebrated on December 25, 274 CE, when Emperor Aurelian established it as a formal feast day... The adoption of December 25 as the birthdate for Jesus is a subject of discussion, with some scholars suggesting it was chosen to coincide with the established pagan festival." This indicates that the celebration of Sol Invictus’s birthdate on December 25 was later shifted to commemorate the birth of Jesus after Christianity was adopted. Regarding Jehovah’s Witnesses’ claims of 50,000 errors in the Bible, if you choose to disbelieve that, I respect your view. However, one thing is certain: Roman pagan doctrines have infiltrated Christianity. If that is undisputed, then it follows that the scriptures, having passed through many hands over time, may have been corrupted or misinterpreted. From my own study, I have observed inconsistencies in the Bible—some of which have been corrected in newer Bible versions. For example, there is the issue with Jehoiachin’s age: 2 Kings 24:8 says he was 18 when he became king, but 2 Chronicles 36:9 states he was 8. Eight or eighteen? This is just one example among many. I believe these contradictory verses are human errors, not divine ones, but we cannot deny their existence. I once debated a friend, saying: If the Holy Spirit is needed to understand and interpret the Bible, then what about those who translated it from Greek to English? Did they have the Holy Spirit? Consider how many errors might have been introduced in translation, and the number of doctrines that may have come from those misinterpretations. Much of what we know today—or perhaps all of it—is based on their understanding and interpretation. These translators were linguists, not necessarily biblical scholars. As Jeremiah 8:8 says: "How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie." Peace! |
chaseblack:Lol, you didn’t quote any verse from the Bible where God instructs women to lead over men. You simply assume that God won’t be angry if women lead congregations. This belief of yours is what is called a “heresy”—a doctrine held by some Christians, like yourself, which conflicts with established religious teachings. Are you following your own thoughts or the teachings of the Bible? Whatever the Bible declares as wrong is wrong—you don’t need to justify it, even if you have reasons. That’s why you are a believer. If you try to justify it by citing contradictory verses, it implies that one of the verses is wrong and not from God. As the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion.” Both a verse and its contradiction can’t be right. Do you understand the implication? It means falsehoods have crept into the Bible, and we must carefully distinguish which teachings are truly from God. Are you indirectly questioning the authority of the Bible? Is that what you’re trying to do? Regarding Roman Catholicism and their idol worship, you can read my full views on their doctrines here: https://www.nairaland.com/8547847/10-things-catholics-apostles-didnt#137249656. The sin of idol worship is grave and cannot be compared to things discouraged due to their potential dangers. Anywhere women mingle freely and mix with men without restraint becomes fertile ground for immorality. This is evident in many churches where women lead prayers, and men are distracted by their appearance instead of focusing on worship. Women can serve as distractions even in battles. This is one reason why women are silenced in the church—not because God wants to humiliate them, but to maintain order and holiness. Peace! |
chaseblack:The Bible explicitly prohibits women from being pastors or leading men, advising them to focus on teaching their children instead (Deuteronomy 6:6-7). In 1 Timothy 2:8-15, Paul states that women shouldn't teach or lead men, but remain silent. Similarly, 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 instructs women to be quiet in church and ask questions at home, as speaking in church is deemed inappropriate. Peace! |
jesusjnr2020:The term "Roman Catholic" is not used without reason. The Roman Catholic Church is heavily influenced by Roman paganism. For example, they changed the birthday of Jesus to coincide with the feast of their deity, the Roman god Sol Invictus (the Unconquered Sun). They also shifted the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, the day they worship their sun god. This influence has caused Roman Catholicism to resemble idol worship, which is contrary to true Christianity. Regarding images of Jesus and Mary, the Bible clearly states in Exodus 20:4-5: "You shall not make for yourself an idol of any kind... You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God." However, Catholics created images of Jesus and Mary and bow down to them in worship. The Catholic Church has negatively influenced other Christian denominations by introducing these images/pictures, causing believers to focus on them during prayer and attribute supernatural powers to them. They have also influenced many Christians, including apostolic churches, to celebrate the wrong birthday of Jesus and observe Sunday instead of Saturday as the Sabbath. Overall, Christianity requires a thorough reform because its teachings have been corrupted and many non-biblical doctrines have been added. For instance, the Jehovah’s Witnesses highlighted in their Awake magazine (dated September 8, 1957) that there are reportedly "50,000 Errors in the Bible." This is why they produced their own translation to ensure accuracy. If the Bible contained so many errors, it would result in countless doctrines within Christianity that are not from God. Today, we see many Christians, including those in apostolic churches, deviating from the true teachings of Jesus. Many have been led astray. May God guide and keep us on the right path. Shalom! |

malali:It's surprising to see so much hatred for your home country simply because your preferred candidate lost. I wouldn't be surprised if you succumb to depression due to the recent progress Nigeria has made. ![]() |
seunmsg:Lol, please, just mention one economic progress at a time. Last time you shared many, 100,000 Obidients had heart attacks. Who knows how many more will perish this time? Have mercy. We still want them alive to witness more of Nigeria progress without Peter obi, while dying slowly from depression. |
Justiceleague1:Lol, before criticizing a judgment, consider the evidence the judge evaluated. Judges rely on submitted proof to make rulings, even if outcomes seem unfair. Like I said earlier, the judge's verdict was fair as it's grounded in the information available, which may not always be available to us or align with our perception. Don't be in haste to condemn judgements. Peace! |
shortgun:Lol, it's surprising you believed this story. A tenant's debt leading to the sale of their rental property doesn't make sense, legally or logically. There must be missing information or a misunderstanding. The tenant could co-own the property or have fraudulently used it as collateral. People often go to great lengths to dodge payments, including fraudulently using others' properties. This tale seems incomplete and unreliable. Before criticizing a judgment, consider the evidence the judge evaluated. Judges rely on submitted proof to make rulings, even if outcomes seem unfair. Like I said earlier, the judge's verdict was fair as it's grounded in the information available, which may not always be available to us or align with our perception. Don't be in haste to condemn judgements. Peace! |
always247:Exactly, the judgment is fair, but many use it as an excuse to criticize Islam. They'd blame any court, even a customary one. Most Nigerians would rather die than repay loans. When asking for a loan, they cry, yet when it's time to pay back, they will make you cry and beg them to return your money. I can never lend money to any Nigerian; if they ask, I might give a little as a gift, but not a loan. As for those condemning the judgment and blaming our colonial masters for Nigeria's amalgamation, they believe division will solve their problems. But even united, Nigeria struggles with leadership and corruption issues. What makes them think splitting Nigeria into pieces would magically fix these problems? Peace? |
Upon further investigation, I discovered that the term 'eradicate' might not be the best choice of words in this context. After consulting a dictionary, I realized that 'eradication' implies complete removal or destruction. However, the EFCC's intention seems to be the opposite—to establish corruption firmly in Nigeria. Perhaps they meant to use the word 'radicate,' which means to cause something to take root or become deeply ingrained. It's amusing to think about the unintended irony in their statement.Peace! |
DIVINEEVIDENCE:Your assertion about truncated psychological development doesn't hold, as a 19-year-old is mature enough to choose her spouse. Blaming her marriage issues on hindered psychological growth is wrong as it isn't necessarily tied to external factors like peer pressure or drug use. Many women married young in the past and enjoyed lasting marriages. All married couples face challenges, regardless of age, but some couples often keep their problems private. Keeping their problems personal is their choice, it has nothing to do with their psychological development. I maintain that age isn't the sole factor here; look for other reasons behind Regina's marital problems. Peace! |
DIVINEEVIDENCE:Disregard these psychological claims. Regina Daniels was actually older than Peter Obi's wife when she got married. Regina was 19, and Obi's wife was 17. However, Obi's wife doesn't exhibit the issues supposedly linked to truncated psychological development. Regina's problems might be due to negative influences, drug exposure, or her personal traits, not her age. Explore alternative explanations rather than focusing solely on age. Peace! |
yarimo:Don't worry, she won't claim ownership of that Court. After all, UK is a No Man's Land. ![]() |
Peacecore:Israel has a long history of fighting, killing, and raiding towns and villages. As I mentioned before, war is deeply ingrained in Middle Eastern culture, which is why the Bible contains many accounts of such conflicts. Moreover, the Bible even records instances where God encouraged the Israelites to kill non-Jews they considered enemies. Here are a few examples that illustrate this: Joshua 10:37: “They captured the town and killed everyone in it, including its king, leaving no survivors. They treated all the surrounding villages the same way.” Numbers 31:17: “Now, kill every male child among the little ones and every woman who has known a man by lying with him. But keep all the young girls who have not known a man for yourselves.” Numbers 31:18: “Kill them all—old and young, girls and women, and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Start right here at the Temple.” As I have said before, it is important to separate the religion from the culture of war and conflict that has been intertwined with it. Follow the spiritual teachings, but reject the violent cultural legacy. Peace! |
