What that lady is doing right there makes no practical sense she is insulting Christ Jesus by doing what Jesus didn't teach his disciples!


If you carefully read the scriptures you will see that the disciples preached in all those places following the INSTRUCTIONS their leader gave them not going about disturbing people with noise. It must be orderly as instructed not anyhow you feel!

As usual, giving extra biblical interpretation to what is plainly written in the Bible, just to suit your narrative.

Emenike will do well to stop threatening an elected public officer in the person of the LASG Governor. You can lay a complaint without threats. You could get arrested for threatening people.
Chinua Achebe a prominent Igbo and a global literary icon had this to say about The Igbo, his kith and kin -"There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behaviour that can offend; by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness."
The Igbo will do well to not ignite ethnic tensions that generate ill wind that blows no one no good like it happened back then in Zaria and the North generally in the late ‘60s resulting in the Civil War that broke the Igbo. It would appear that the Igbo learnt nothing from the Civil War no thanks to Obasanjo who cancelled the study of History in Nigerian schools and robbed the younger generation of the opportunity to study the civil war. It is not unknown that the Igbo contravene building codes with impunity and are adept at buying up building approvals as they believe money can do all things such as building on waterways- go to Festac town and see what they have turned the place into! So long as they continue in their antisocial and unlawful ways will the LASG demolish their property! Chest beating, playing the victim card and displaying victim mentality has not and will not help the Igbo! Be wise!

If the demolition was illegal, someone ought to pay na. Is that a threat? Keep playing the ostrich and pretend you don't know what's going on. Bandits are ravaging Kwara , and people like you will pretend that they don't know the end game of those jihadists. Keep pretending until it gets to your doorstep. Like Emenike said, Igbos no de hear word. They have been warned severally about doing business and sinking money into certain places...

YES! Jesus' disciples are to greet the householder as a way of introducing themselves before speaking so when the householder proves to be hostile they mustn't say anything further! Matthew 10:11-13

So think and stop deceiving yourself.

The Jews are Jesus' first target because God promised to educate the whole world regarding salvation through the descendants of Abraham {Genesis 12:1-3} Peter reminded his Jewish brothers this promise! Act 2:39
That's why Jesus specifically told his disciples to go and educate the Jews first not that the preaching won't go further to other nations. Matthew 28:19-20; Act 1:8


Jesus gave his Jewish brothers the authority to perform miracles because that's part of the promise God made to Israelites {Exodus 19:5} you can never ever find a single gentile perform any miracles in the Bible.

Today no one is performing any miracles that's from Jesus because it started and ended in the first century Paul told the Christians in Corinth not to expect that gift to continue because it's just a way of telling the Jews that God is no longer in support of Judaism! 1Corinthans 13:8-10

If you have any verse in the Bible where a none Israelite perform any miracles or where Jesus' disciples were speaking to uninterested passersby prove me wrong!

Firstly, I don't need any man of God to indoctrinate me over what's in the Bible. I have my own Bible, and by God's grace, I can also read. If there is anyone that is running around fanatically with what he was told by some "elders", it's you.

Secondly, going by your argument and position, non of us should bother preaching the gospel since we are gentiles and Jesus directly commanded His disciples, who were Jews to preach and do miracles in His name. Abi?

MaxInDHouse:
Any topic that involves PREACHING is my business so interested followers need to differentiate between noisemaking and what Jesus commanded us.

There is nowhere in the Bible that Jesus and his disciples indiscriminately speak to passersby or uninterested people that is against the purpose of preaching. We must have interested audience who will ask questions regarding what we are saying that's when preaching becomes effective not just disturbing passengers or passersby with unwanted noise.

Prove me wrong by presenting a scenario where first century disciples of Christ were talking to people who aren't interested in what they are saying.
You people has been indoctrinated by your religious leaders that even when you see the truth you still want to stick to unreasonable opinions.
Have anyone asked a noisemakers any question regarding what you people are saying in public buses or market places?
You people have turned the fine works Jesus commissioned to nonsense before everyone!😟

You called preaching the gospel nonsense?

Apart from working in and through the synagogues, the disciples followed their Master in preaching in the open air. The "Acts" give us plenty of examples of this, e.g. in Jerusalem, Samaria, Lystra and Athens. That your preferred method of preaching your brand of the gospel is door-to-door, does not mean that speaking in public places is not effective. Peter on the day of Pentecost preached to the public, and three thousand souls were added to the church as a result of that. You called that ineffective?

Acts.2.41 - Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

The reason you are beating yourself up over this issue because of this , is because they told that you can only be saved by accumulating hours spending witnessing . Something that doesn't have biblical bases.

MaxInDHouse:
Do you call what Jesus COMMANDED a disturbance? Matthew 10:11-13; Luke 10:6
Now you are judging yourself! John 3:19

You cherry pick the Bible to support your erroneous teachings. Jesus in more than one places in the Bible commanded His followers to preach/teach the gospel.Is there anywhere in the Bible where Jesus restricted His disciples to any mode/method of preaching/teaching?

You quoted Mathew 10 to support your viewpoint. Did you also read verse 1, 5 & 6 of that same chapter you quoted?

Matt.10.5 - These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:Matt.10.6 - But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Now tell me, is it only Jews that you guys knock on their doors when you go out to preach? Because if you knock and try to teach non-jews, according to you, that will be contravening Jesus's commandment.

Jesus commanded His disciples in the Bible to go out and preach and heal the sick. But you Jehovah witness' people don't heal the sick and do miracles. According to you, you guys are walking in disobedience to Jesus's commandment.


Matthew 10:1: Jesus gathered the twelve disciples and gave them power to "cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease".

Luke 9:1-2: He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases. He then sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and heal the sick.

Luke 10:1-17: Jesus later sent out 70 (or 72, depending on the translation) other followers with similar instructions: to heal the sick, preach that the kingdom of God is near, and cast out demons.

MaxInDHouse:
She is doing the so called "EVANGELISM" Nigerians infused in her head neither Jesus nor his disciples go about disturbing people with noise!😟

You again! What are you doing in a non-JW thread?

In the scriptures there are tons of examples where Jesus Christ and early Christians preached the goodnews in public places, including market places and synagogues. I guess you are only regurgitating what you were in taught in your group.

How many times una go post this news na? Parading them is good, but preventing crime is better. People are killed everyday in some parts of the nation and no one is batting an eyelid over it. Just because of the bad publicity the death of the young woman brought the government, everyone is now forming serious

Nairalander248:
But how Una dey marry person you no even love? How?

What's love? Na when you enter marriage because of the so-called love your eyes go clear. Marry when your dreams and purposes in life align. "Love na bonus". As a matter of fact, love is created in marriage and applied continuosly in order to sustain it... you no go understand until you enter

nairalanda1:
Nigeria is bad because we sell resources and use the money to import stuff we should be making

Corruption here is a side effect. So also debt

South Africa is going the same way.

I agree with you that South Africa has her own problems, but Nigeria's own is mind blowing. Even one of the former colonial masters, after seeing what our politicians were doing to their own people, said that Nigerians are fantastically corrupt. Can you beat that?

nairalanda1:
Am sure the south Africans will regard theirs as demonic too, it's wrecked their electricity and railway sector for example.

Nigerians' own wrecked the entire country (every sector) and gradually turning the country to a failed state. Even hallowed sectors like the judiciary and academicia were not spared.

96ACE:
Oga minister just tell us the cost of road per kilometer you just dey get angry anyhow. Bloody international tiff tiff.

He saying the truth, in projects like that you can only have estimates and projections, the true cost will only be arrived at the completion or near completion of stages of the project. But Nigeria is a special case... CORRUPTION.

nairalanda1:
South Africa has serious corruption issues too.

There's corruption everywhere, but Nigerian's own is demonic

Must I watch the video? Nothing about what the gang driver revealed was written here...just a video. You guys want to make money from the lady's unfortunate death. This is unbecoming of Nairaland.

MaxInDHouse:
Now that you have agreed that Jesus is the initiator of house to house preaching and seen that apostle Paul also engaged in the house to house preaching and teaching it's time to show you why it's the only means of salvation!

Before Jesus there was never a time any prophet knocked on people's doors to preach it has always been a town crying thing where the prophet will be shouting in their streets but when John the baptist started his preaching instead of shouting in their streets he was shouting in the wilderness! John 1:23
WHY?
Because as at that time Jews were under a colonial master (ROME) so shouting in their streets has been banned because that's how zealots (terrorist Jews fighting for liberation) always do to gather followers so if anyone try it Roman soldiers will get such a person arrested.
And by the time Jesus established the preaching and teaching he made sure that he doesn't disturb the neighborhood with noise first of all to avoid being arrested by Roman soldiers and also in fulfilment of the prophecy about the Christ which says he will not shout in their streets! Isaiah 42:2 compare to Matthew 12:19
Another reason is to make the work really effective so that both the preacher and his listener may interact meaningfully by opening the scriptures to get the sense of what they both need to do, in fact Malachi the last prophecy of the Old Testament said:

At that time those who fear Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance was written before him for those fearing Jehovah and for those meditating on his name. Malachi 3:16

Why is a book of remembrance written for those engaging in this activity?

The last book of the New Testament answered:

Furthermore, whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled into the lake of fire. Revelations 20:15

So those who aren't engaging in this activity will be DESTROYED!

WHY?

Because they disobeyed the word of God who is Jesus Christ {John 1:1; Revelations 19:13} and Jesus himself told us that disobedience to his command will mean destruction for all those ignoring his orders! John 3:16-18

God Himself warned us to listen and obey whatever Jesus command us to do {Matthew 17:5 compare to Deuteronomy 18:18-19} so it's not a matter of options but complete submission anytime that name "JESUS" is mentioned:

so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend—of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground. Philippians 2:10

If all those claiming Christians must go to knock on their neighbors doors to preach the Kingdom of God how do you think anyone who is a politician can claim to be a Christian? Luke 18:18-23

Do you think all those in the house of assembly and Senate can claim they are Christians if they have to knock on the doors of their neighbors to preach and entertain questions like Jehovah's Witnesses are doing today?

Well it's not what we choose to believe but what God commanded through the mouth of His only begotten Son so you need HUMILITY and RIGHTEOUSNESS to be saved {Zephaniah 2:2-3} that is if you truly want to be saved!🙂

It's amazing how people, in the name of a founder and some called elders, will distort scriptures to suit his narratives and led countless other humans to believe and defend the same. No wonder some religious organizations are referred to as cults.

I am not here to win an argument but to point out the truth as it's written in the scriptures... it's up to you to do what you like with it. I have no personal opinion about salvation, only what I read in the scriptures and I have shown the same to you. Bye friend.

MaxInDHouse:
Again this is what Jesus commanded us:

"When you enter the HOUSE, greet the HOUSEHOLD. Matthew 10:12

Please what is Jesus talking about when he mentioned "HOUSE" and "HOUSEHOLD" here?

And as for Paul this is what he said:

"while I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from HOUSE to HOUSE." Act 20:20

So there is no excuse Sir!


Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching and teaching from house to house and door to door in all those Arab countries it's only China that house to house preaching is prohibited so we obey Jesus' command to leave such a territory but where there is freedom of speech, expression and worship nothing should stop us from preaching and teaching from house to house! 1Corinthans 9:16

Meanwhile you keep mentioning my religion (church) because you can see that what i am quoting is exactly what we practice can you also mention the name of your own religion (church) as you people often call it?
At least you can see how faithful we are to what we believe in Christ so can you too present your own church because it's obvious that you are not on the same page with many here which means you people are not having the same line of thought as Jesus Christ prayed for his disciples! John 17:22 compare to 1Corinthans 1:10; 1Peter 3:8🙂

Below are the very words of Jesus Christ, which we evangelicals called the "Great Commission". There's no place in the commandment where Jesus restricted His followers to a certain method in the propagation of the gospel. So I honestly don't know what you argument is all about. If the method you choose is effective for you and you have systems put in place to support that, go for it by all means.

Matt.28.18 - And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matt.28.19 - Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matt.28.20 - Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

In the book of Acts of the Apostles, in chapter 2, during the day of Pentecost Peter stood and shared the gospel to a large number of people at the same time, and three thousand souls were added to the church. In the same book (Acts), different methods, depending on the individual's circumstances were used to preach the gospel.

From the scripture you quoted, Paul said he preached "publicly" and "house to house", that also establishes my argument that the scriptures never restricted Christians to only "house to house" witnessing or preaching of the gospel. The early church was never restricted as to the method of spreading the gospel. JW may have adopted house to house as their preferred method, that doesn't mean that all Christians must follow their pattern.

Like I mentioned earlier my church explore all avenues to preach the gospel...we are not restricted in any way. And let me give you a shocker ...did you know that there was a time when JW people where moving around with public address systems to preach the gospel? I guess you don't know that. I know because my grandfather did that in the olden days. As for JW preaching the gospel from house to house in Arabian and hostile environments, that's an argument for another day.

And finally, preaching or teaching door to door does not earn one salvation .

MaxInDHouse:
Jesus commanded us to preach and teach from house to house {Act 20:20} he already told his disciples to go from house to house:

“Into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until you leave. When you enter the HOUSE, greet the HOUSEHOLD. If the HOUSE is deserving, let the peace you wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from you return upon you." Matthew 10:11-13

Please whose words is the above?🙂

You are still majoring on the minor, while ignoring the weightier things of the scriptures. You are just grappling at straws to justify JW teachings, not biblical truths. You quoted Mathew 28:19-20, the great commission by Jesus Christ, as your stand for the justification of door-to-door preaching as the only accepted method of spreading the good news. I asked you to show me where it mentioned 'door-to-door" and you couldn't provide any evidence of that.

There's no record of the early disciples preaching from door-to-door. Apostles and disciples like Paul preached in the market places, synagogues, homes etc. Door-to-door evangelism is effective, no argument about that, but it's not the only effective way of spreading the gospel of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. By the way, how do you preach door-to-door in a place like Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia? Or are we not supposed to reach them with the gospel?

MaxInDHouse:
God's word or the word of God (Jesus) commanded his disciples to go preaching from house to house and door to door. Matthew 28:19-20

Are you OBEDIENTLY doing what Jesus who is the word of God {John 1:1; Revelations 19:13} commanded his friends? John 15:14🙂

I know that JW think and believe that preaching/teaching from door to door will earn them salvation. That's not true , which you can deduce from all the scriptures I have given you so far. Salvation cannot be earned by accumulating hours spent in the field preaching.

Matthew 28:19-20 never and never said go door to door and preach the gospel.

There are many effective ways of preaching the gospel aside door to door evangelism. By the way, I and many others have engaged in that in your approved type of evangelism at some point or the other.I may not have your kind of bags, but I go out for evangelism sometimes alone, sometimes with a group. Sometimes we move from person or group of persons to persons etc... there's no restriction whatsoever in the scriptures as to the method that the gospel should be propagated.

Back to the heart of the matter, preaching the gospel, in as much as it's important, cannot earn you salvation. Salvation is received, free of charge. To you guys, you cann commit all sorts of atrocities and wickedness, but so long as you preach door-to-door, you will make paradise. That's a lie! Receive the free gift of God, Jesus, into your life today!

Rom.10.6 - But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above

Rom.10.7 - Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

Rom.10.8 - But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

Rom.10.9 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

MaxInDHouse:
You don't understand what GRACE means my friend.
It's not an automatic ticket to Paradise rather it means mankind came through two criminals so we have all inherited crime from our ancestors Adam and Eve since the punishment that comes along with that crime is death then we are all doomed! Romans 5:12; 6:23

Due to His kindness God set rules for the descendants of these two criminals regarding how to regain everlasting life that Adam and Eve lost and at the same time He gave us the means to get there {John 3:16} these are like UNDERSERVED KINDNESS or GRACE for descendants of these two criminals not automatically qualification to earn what our parents lost rather kindness to sinful humans.

That's why Paul that you are quoting told his fellow believers:


Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, ‭Philippians 2:12 NIV‬


Do you believe in Jesus?

Of course you claimed you do but then are you OBEDIENT to Jesus and doing the assignment he gave his disciples?

That's what you are trying to play smart on now by ignoring it yet claiming you believe in Jesus who said he cannot do a single thing except what his father asked him to do {John 5:30} remember that it's his father who told him to commission the house to house preaching and knocking on people's doors which he did industriously and commanded his friends to continue doing the same {Matthew 28:19-20} because that's what his father wanted to use as criteria to get people's names written in the book of life! Malachi 3:16 compare to Revelations 20:15

So whoever deliberately ignore this work is deceiving himself when claiming he believes in Jesus just as Vanessa who claimed she love John but never wanted to do what makes him happy!🙂

You talked about grace, quoted 3:16 and yet ended your argument by contradicting yourself. Salvation is a free gift from God to mankind. You can't earn nor add to it. Jesus paid for it in full... you have only got to receive it by faith and work out (live out) your salvation by living a life of obedience to God's word.

The passage you quoted, Philippians 2:12, didn't and never asked you to "work for your salvation", but to live out your salvation through work. And the "fear and trembling" mentioned is in relation to what he earlier mentioned in verse 10 and 11 of the same chapter of the Bible.

Phil.2.12 - Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (NLT)

Phil.2.12 Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ). (AMP)

ajalawole:
oya connect me with one from UK Na make I marry.

Unfortunately, you no reach their standard na. You have got to japa first and join them for that side...And that they're looking for a man to marry no means say their character good oO.

motionarena:
See una mentality
Make woman stay for abusive marriage
because no one else will marry her

I never said that nor implied that...I merely stated an obvious truth. The bottomline is that everyone should work on their marriages and make necessary sacrifices for them to work. There's nothing to gain from a failed marriage. And women, as we all know get the short end of the stick as far divorce is concerned for Africans.

ajalawole:
fat lie. I knysome that leave her marriage of 2month because she has been seeing money from tiktok.

So seeing money from tiktok is winning outside marriage, for you? Walahi poverty na bastard . Come to the UK and see women earning better money begging for man to marry them.

MaxInDHouse:
You deliberately dodged the question but know today that Jesus emphasized on WORKS which is evidence of faith.

Paul is not taking about faith without WORKS here rather he is telling Judaists that crossed over to Christianity that the WORKS OF THE LAW is nothing when compared to faith which is in Christ Jesus.

So faith in Christ Jesus is what we are talking about here which must be accompanied by WORKS that Jesus gave his disciples.

Do demons believe God exists?
Yes they do.
Do demons believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God?
Yes they do.

So why are they condemned?

They will never ever join in the life saving work Jesus assigned to his disciples nor support those doing it instead they will be mocking and criticizing them.

So the WORKS of knocking on people's doors to discuss with them about God's Kingdom is what will save faithful people.

Do you know how your name could get into the book of life? Revelations 20:15

Well i will tell you today.

The last book of the Old Testament says:


Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name. ‭Malachi 3:16 NIV‬

The book or scroll of remembrance is that book where God's angels are writing the names of people engaging in the preaching and teaching activities Jesus commanded his disciples so both those doing it and those learning from them will be saved!

That's the truth!🙂

Like I said earlier, some kingdom things that some religious sects miss are what you may call rudimentary and elementary truths. Yet they miss and wrestle with them. My dear friend, I am talking about the starting point of Christianity, salvation. Salvation is by grace, through faith(believe) in Jesus Christ. Not by works. Works are complimentary and supplementary to your salvation.

motionarena:
See them
They get pained when a woman wins.

If it is a man that shares the same story they will rejoice with him

No woman wins leaving her marriage, wether the man was abusive, a cheat or whatever. And by the way, who exactly do you think will marry her in the UK? She just entered a life of singleness and God forbid, whoredom, if she isn't god-fearing and disciplined.

PerfectStranger:
He's right and being realistic. Most people give their lives to Christ on Sunday and take it back the following week.

Poverty is like a brain disease, if not, tell me how a sane person even after these years of suffering and hardship will still collect few cups of rice with #5k from politicians during election. Please y'all read down!

What he said is opposite of what the Bible said. As a matter of fact, Jesus said that it is "easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God", Mathew 19:23. In other words, wealth can be an obstacle... The rich are exposed to more temptations than the poor. Go and ask. Btw, true richness comes from a life focused on God, with priorities set on eternal things not on bank accounts. You can have billions in your bank account and still be considered wretched by heaven. It dey Bible too.

MaxInDHouse:
Shockingly Jesus and his brother James both emphasized on the importance of WORKS:

“My Father has kept WORKING until now, and I keep WORKING." John 5:17 ~ Jesus of Nazareth

"Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without WORKS is dead." James 2:26

To illustrate imagine two young ladies claiming they love one guy both of them will answer "YES" when asked about their love for the guy but there is a difference:

Jane always observes this guy the way he talks, his countenance, his likes and dislikes, his friends and she always love being close to the guy's friends so as to join them in doing what will make the guy happy.

Vanessa also loves being close to where people are talking about the guy but she pays more attention to herself, her beauty and her own pleasure instead of observing the young man to know and do things pleasing to him.

Who truly loves this guy between Jane and Vanessa?

There's a place for work in the Christendom, but we are talking about the process of getting SAVED here. Forget about sister Jane and sister Vanessa

Ephesians 2:8-9: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boas.

You can't earn your salvation by keeping hours that you knocked on doors in your neighborhood or even living a life many may consider as holy. But doing all that will earn you certain spiritual rewards, keep you out of trouble and reinforces your faith and convictions as well.

Faith (believe ) here is the human response of trust and reliance on Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross. It is not intellectual assent but a deep-seated trust and commitment that enables one to receive God's grace, that leads to salvation.

MaxInDHouse:
All these are the elementary things of the faith in Christ Jesus so everyone who claims being Christian will concur to that.
So let's see how true all you professed.

What does it mean to believe in Jesus?
Is it just by saying you believe or acting in line with what Jesus taught his disciples as God's will? Matthew 7:21-23 🙂

Strangely the elementary things of the faith are what most people struggle with today - that led to rise of false teachers.
Now back to your question, you believe and accept the truth in your heart first, confess it with your mouth and live it out subsequently. Works alone doesn't confer salvation. Instead, work is a proof that you believed

MaxInDHouse:
Thank you.
Now do you believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God?

Yea, I believe that. I also believe that he died and rose again for my salvation. I also believe that if you believe in Him and confess the same with your mouth, you shall be saved. Do you believe that also,?

MaxInDHouse:
Do you believe the Bible?🙂

Yes, I do.

Sugarboyy:
Let me ask you a simple and harmless question.
Just this year there has been countless plane crashes in the US, also recently a Syrian based in the UK went on a stabbing spree and so many others which we both know and have read in the news happening in developed countries. Now my question to you, does it means the US happened to the Americans that have died in those countless plane crashes and the UK happened to the British that were stabbed recently?

What countless airplane crashes happened in the US? Compared with the amount of air traffic they have over there , their accident record is not terrible. But in all, people are held accountable and changes made whenever such bad things happened. But in Nigeria, hundreds are slaughtered and no one is held accountable. Government officials are carrying on like nothing happened. A lot of people abroad wish to return to Nigeria, their fatherland, but what are they going to return to? Did you know that those areas ravaged by bandits and other criminals are people's homeland? Abeg make I stop here
