Religion / Re: Origin Of Trinity - Reno Omokri (pics) by Babinski: 10:13am On Sep 26, 2023 |
RealEzee: Some people seem to misunderstand Trinity as implying that God the Son is God the Father. That assumption is wrong and without Biblical basis. If the assumption was right, there would be no need to distinguish the two. Jesus in the Bible also made it clear He was not God the Father. The concept of Trinity is that God exists as and is manifested equally through the three persons of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. When we interact with any of them, we interact with God. You need to understand that God is not a name but a title described by attributes. And all those attributes are present in the three. John 1:1 is clear that the Word was in the beginning with God and the Word was God. In Genesis 1 all creation was done by God and that God is Elohim which is plural and not singular. A direct translation to English would have been Elohim = "Gods". Throughout Genesis 1 we were told Elohim (Gods) created everything and by Genesis 2:4 we get told that God in the singular created it all. The implication is that The Lord God = God = Elohim = "Gods". The plural and the singular are one. In Genesis 1:26, Elohim (Gods) said "Let us create man in our image, our likeness..". And in the following verse 27 said "man was created in His (singular) image. Now we see clearly there are "Gods" who created the heavens and earth and created man in their images, a singular image and likeness belonging to the "Gods". So who make up these "Gods". We know from John 1:1 that the Word (Jesus) is one of these "Gods" just as we know that God the Father from Jesus is also there. The Holy Spirit also called the Spirit of God completes the "Gods". Verses like Ephesians 4:30, John 15:26 and several others show a "person" of the Spirit of God which makes it the third in the Godhead. In any extensive search of the entire Bible and biblical history, no other persons apart from these three could be identified to belong to the "Gods" (Elohim). So it is just the three and they are the Three (Trinity, Godhead, Elohim) that created the heavens and earth, made man in their image and likeness. So while the Bible does not explicitly mention Trinity, the concept is there from Genesis to Revelation. However it is understandable that people are likely to misunderstand the Trinity doctrine. In fact one of the reasons the First Council of Nicea was convened was to resolve the controversy within the church over the relationship between the persons of the Trinity. Finally, do note that Reno is far from the Truth as a miss is as good as a mile. His views are heretical and should not be taken lightly. He is a wolf masquerading as a sheep. https://www.str.org/w/the-doctrine-of-the-trinity-at-nicaea-and-chalcedon |
Religion / Re: Origin Of Trinity - Reno Omokri (pics) by Babinski: 9:33pm On Sep 24, 2023 |
RealEzee: Reno is just an ass trying to lead the weak astray, a wolf in sheep's clothing that has been revealing his true colours for a while now. Trying to say the Torah is scripture to the exclusion of the Bible is misleading. The Torah comprises the first 5 books of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), also called the Law (or the Pentateuch, in Christianity). The Bible incorporates the Torah in addition to other writings inspired by God. In Matthew 5:17 Jesus made reference to the Law (Torah) and the writings of the Prophets. In Luke 4:17 when Jesus walked into a synagogue, he was handed the book of Prophet Isaiah to read from. The synagogue recognized the writings of the Prophets as scripture. The prophesies about the messiah that the Jews were expecting were in the writings of the Prophets. All these are incorporated in the Bible. So for someone to now say only the Torah is scripture even in the days of Jesus, that person is just being silly. Now on the issue of Trinity. If asked who discovered America some will say Christopher Columbus. But we know there are several human beings who have been there before him. Though it is agreed that the Council of Nicea in 325 AD proclaimed Trinity as a Christian doctrine, the concept of Trinity is established in the Bible by more than one verse and resonates through from the Old to the New Testaments covering hundreds of years before the council. It is a fact that the Coucil did not re-write the Bible to support Trinity. They only came about it from several supporting verses in the Bible to give the concept a name. They did not create the concept, they only gave it a name. Jesus has been God to Christians well before the Council of Nicea. John 1:1 was clear about it: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Reno is trying to lead astray Christians who do not know the Bible and some of the Histories of Christianity over the years. It is pitiable he calls himself a Pastor.

Politics / Re: FG May Pay N1.68tn Fuel Subsidy, Marketers Forecast N900/litre by Babinski: 1:37pm On Sep 22, 2023 |
Againstallodds: You cannot remove subsidy and expect the same NNPC that superintend the subsidy regime to effectively manage the non-subsidy regime. Removing subsidy goes beyond mere announcement. You need to setup a panel to determine if subsidy actually existed and how much it is in the first instance. The panel will investigate and then recommend how to remove subsidy. PPRA will be disbanded. There would be reshuffling at NNPC, Marketers would be granted Licenses to import without forming cabals to dictate price and the Refineries would be sold and people given License to build Modular Refineries. All in all, it would be a phased plan that would take months and not just a sudden thing. The Subsidy issue is full of corruption and the Government seems to be scared or unwilling to bring the culprits to book. You cannot do anything meaningful in that type of situation. |

I doubt if Mohbad after falling out with Naira Marley had much access to the revenue from music he made under the label. Now that he is gone, who would go to the label to ask for royalties? His wife? His family? Well, so sad. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Profile Of Olayemi Michael Cardoso, Nominee For CBN Governor by Babinski: 8:39am On Sep 17, 2023 |
Saao: I am not excited about this appointment. The CBN Governor should typically have a background in economics because he will be in charge of monetary policies and financial regulations for the country and the effects on the economy. We have seen what Emefiele with his banking background did, apparently without proper understanding of the economy. Economists deal with the larger trends that drive money and the resources that money represents compared to accountants and bankers who focus on individuals and businesses. Considering the resume of Cardoso, I do not think he is appropriately prepared for the task of being CBN Governor particularly at this crucial time for the country. However, miracles may happen. |
Family / Re: I Want To Divorce And Live Alone by Babinski: 6:43am On Sep 16, 2023 |
ADURA123: If you dad's advice to you is not to cheat on your wife, then that advice is either rooted on moral or religious ground. Now to say you want to divorce because your wife is not giving you sex and seeing that as being compliant with your father's advice is a selfish misinterpretation. It is even worse when you want to become a bachelor and be sleeping around with women without any commitments. Such clearly negate any moral, religious or even spiritual basis of your father's advice! You need to realize that cheating on your wife can take many forms and is not limited sex. If you built your success together while she made sacrifices and then divorce her when the fruits of those sacrifices are about to mature, you are cheating her. When you bring children into the world and abandon the home that should nuture then right for selfish reasons, then you are cheating those children. Have you sat down to think of the effects on your children of denying them proper fathering so you can live an hedonistic bachelor life? Your planned action is rooted in selfishness and lack of responsibility and you need to abort it if you are indeed seeking for advice rather than validation here. I see no reasonable moral, religious or spiritual basis for you Acton except your village people are after you and you do not know. The father that gave you the advice in the first place, have you gone to him to tell him you planned course of action and see his reaction? I guess you're u know he wouldn't support you. So you taking his advice as you said is not out of respect but for your own selfish reason. Because if you respect him enough to value his advice in the first instance, it is not here than you would be seeking for advice on your planned action. Once more I will tell you. Abort your planned selfish mission and be reasonable |

Righthussle: Christianity is not the problem, the people are the problem. If you see a Professor behaving like a fool because of what he would eat, do you say "education is a scam" because of the actions of a stupid Professor? No. The true test of a religion is in the content of its holy books and what it requires the adherents to do. In that regard, you cannot fault Christianity at all. Are the fake prophets doing what the Bible says? Definitely NO. The Bible says by their fruits you shall know them. The Bible has warned about false prophets thousands of years ago, so their manifestation is not surprising to some us. Matthew 7:15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. Jeremiah 23:16 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. 2 Likes |
Romance / Re: Amarachi Amusi: I’m Richer Than Most Of The Men Seeking To Marry Me, Skit Maker by Babinski: 9:23pm On Sep 08, 2023 |
Kobicove: Superiority is not totally dependent on earning power, particularly in an economy where a nincompoop can be displaying stupidity on social media and gather millions of followers. Stephenie Meyer who wrote the Twilight Saga books made into Film was a full-time housewife who took to writing and became so successful she became the breadwinner of the family by far. And today she is still married because she doesn't have the shallow mentality some women have regarding earnings. Evidence has shown that earning power does not necessarily translate to usefulness or value to the society. It may only be indicative of what people want to spend money on particularly to satisfy cravings. That is why you have OnlyFans millionaires engaged in business you won't pray for your children to do. And a Professor even in the USA earns less than some porn stars. You need to get your priorities right. Life is not all about money making. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Politics / Re: The First Billionaire In West Africa Was An Igbo Man by Babinski: 6:05pm On Aug 27, 2023 |
Moh248: I have read various estimates of Sir Ojukwu's wealth ranging from $4 billion to $14 billion in today's monetary equivalence. All these are conjectures without backing with facts. For reference, $1 million in 1960 is equivalent to $10 million in today's monetary worth based on purchasing power. So for Sir Ojukwu to be worth $4 billion, then he would have to be worth $400 million in 1966 at the time of his demise. Also for reference, the Nigeria Military/ Defence Budget in 1966 was $60 million and the net worth of the Queen of England in 1966 was estimated at between $4 million to $5 million. Nigeria's GDP in 1966 was around $5.4 billion and someone worth $400 million is at 7.4% of the GDP. That is equivalent to a personal worth of around $148 billion today with a national GDP of approximately $2 Trillion. $148 billion is more than 3 times the worth of all the companies on the Nigeria Stock Exchange today!!! While Sir Ojukwu was no doubt the wealthiest businessman of his time in Nigeria, it is doubtful that he was worth as much as $400 million. The upper value of $14 billion in today's monetary value which would translate to him being worth around $1.4 billion in 1966 is even more wild and implausible. The richest man in the world in 1966 was Jean Paul Getty at $1.2 billion. There is no doubt however that Sir Ojukwu was about the richest Nigerian at the time of his death. The Igbo Apprenticeship System can be traced back to the 15th Century and definitely was not introduced by Sir Odumegwu Ojukwu in the 19th Century. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo_apprentice_system |

Politics / Re: Niger Military Versus Nigeria Military (Equipment) by Babinski: 10:23am On Aug 04, 2023 |
Rossikk: Military superiority is not the only factor in any eventual military engagement with Niger. USA and Russia were militarily superior to Vietnam and Afghanistan respectively but what was the outcome of their military engagements? 1. It is not easy being the aggressor and taking the fight to the homeland of your "opponent". The people may see you as an outsider trying to install a puppet government and rally against you as a common enemy in nationalistic and patriotic fevour. 2. Going into a terrain that you are not used to and which may have peculiarities, comes with risks to your troops and equipment. The terrain in Niger geographically is predominantly desert plains and sand dunes. And it is hot and dry. Only specific types of motorized military equipment will work well there without serious challenges. 3. Maintenance for troops and equipment in another country as large as Niger is not easy. How do you convert replacement parts, food and other necessities there without incurring serious logistic costs? This is worsened when the populace are largely against you. So any confrontation in Niger needs to be well thought out before engagement rather than just mouthing statistics, etc. Russia had far better statistics against Ukraine but see the cost of the war so far to them and how long it has dragged? Nigerian economy is not in the beat condition for any warfare much less long drawn warfare where the troops are not motivated and the Army has been riddled with corruption. 1 Like |

Phraences: Either Russia or China can take up a project to build Hydro-Electric dam for Niger. It is not a direct move or aggression against Nigeria particularly when Niger has electricity challenges. And it is difficult for Nigeria to argue that the project should be stopped for any reason. That is why Nigeria has been providing electricity to Benin and Niger Republics all these years to avoid a situation like that. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Nigeria Commences Sanctions Against Niger, Cuts Off Electricity Supply by Babinski: 9:40pm On Aug 02, 2023 |
Acekidc4: The supply of power to Niger by Nigeria is not an act of benevolence but rather a wise move to avoid a situation in which Niger puts one or two Hydro-Electric dam across the River Niger as it flows through their country before entering into Nigeria. Such dam by Niger will affect the utility of the Niger River for our own Hydro-Electric power plans. If Niger has the backing of Russia and somehow survives anything we through at them now, when they dam the Nigeria River in Niamey or elsewhere it will not be a pleasant experience for us at all. Nigeria needs to approach this matter with caution and wisdom.
