I have to say, I agree with this. Sometimes, satellites look like stars when moving across the sky, and anything falling to Earth from the atmosphere is going to look like a falling star because of re-entry (though the question is, is it re-entry if it never left?)

Haha....that's the point.

There are several layers of the Atmosphere, so technically anything entering the Troposphere can be said to be re entering.

Please do explain. Remember, EXPLAIN. Not spout your disjointed, unsupported opinion

The last part of your sentence is somehow o

Anyway, all is well.

One is has to understand that:

1) Everything in the Bible was God prompting men to write.
2) It was human beings who wrote it.

Take the Book of Revelations for example, you see John describing seeing strange locusts that flew and killed like an army, that was around 90 A.D. when he wrote that book ( 2000 years ago). But he was seeing a vision far into the future; definitely after 2021, because we are still here and many of those things havnt happened. Is it possible he saw flying machines, helicopters, fighter Jets, space ships? Those things exist now and There was no way a man in 90 AD would know what those were. He would describe them as best as he knew.

Stars falling from Heaven?. Even today, in 2022, humans call many things in the sky, stars , that are not.

Go out tonight and look for what looks like the brightest Star in the sky; look carefully it's not a star, it's actually the planet Venus. There are usually 6 to 8 star looking objects that are actually planets ( how to know is that stars twinkle. Planets don't)

Dont we even call some stars, shooting stars? But are they stars? No, there are meteorites and comets.

I'm not sure what the Apostle John saw, it could be comets or it could be a reference to angels ; because in reading the Bible, the name Wormwood is used to describe a star that fell and that name appears in previous books of the Bible.

The Bible does nor make mistakes. It's we who do in our interpretations.

PoliteActivist:




My typo.
Still, this is second hand.
Lord Jesus Himself asked His disciples who they thought He was. Some said Elijah, etc. He didn't tell them that's impossible because there was no reincarnation. They also asked John TB if he was Elijah

He asked them who THEY thought he was. He had already heard what people were saying.

Reincarnation is so ming boggling if true, would completely change everything we know about life.
It would mean maybe that's why some people suffer or enjoy without clear reason.
Especially when you consider that some believe humans reincarnate as animals!

Yet the Bible that talks about life, death, judgment, love, marriage, money, food; doesn't even dedicate one verse to it.

PoliteActivist:


But the Bible clearly said stars would fall to the earth. Also there are two different creation stories

Thats a man like you and I describing what he say. I can explain better if you want?

EroticJane:
why would they give us demon or angels to be following us from birth?

Angels sent by God to protect I believe. Matt 18: 10
Demons sent by Lucifer to tempt.

Ans probably other things

Roycemadeit:


You can't hold unto the bible without shooting yourself in the foot when it comes to realities like this...

You must acknowledge the part of the bible where the Jews speculated Jesus was Elias... The prophet Isaiah who had died long ago in the old testament...

And then you must wonder why there is a judgment day, and then some people burning in hell already...

Reincarnation is real.
The Bible is not infallible...
And they are hundreds of reasons why the book of a fairly young religion composed by a people who stole from the passages of older religions, they labeled paganism, should not be the compass by which we live.

Reincarnation would be make the Bible false.
The Bible is infallible for anyone who believes in Jesus.
The Jews speculated, just like we all speculate.

victorazy:


You know nothing.

Things that made up human:
1. Spirit (God) the air you breath
2. Soul (Reg. Number/personality)
3. Body (Earth)

When man die, his spirit goes back to God, his body back to sand, then the soul go for judgment (hell or heaven)

When a destined man did not fulfil his purpose on earth, God send his spirit back into a new body with another soul (new reg no) to continue his destiny.

If you don't believe in reincarnation, your deceiving yourself.

Of course I know nothing, that's why I quoted the Bible that knows everything

PoliteActivist:


How do you know this? Where is it in the Bible?

And by the way here is Hebrew 9:7

Heb 9: 27 not 9: 7

Reincarnation is a lie of demons; don't fall for it if you believe in the one true God.

The whole idea of ghosts, reincarnation etc is a lie from hell to make humans believe that they can live forever outside of God.
Every human has at least one angel or demon following from birth, so they know EVERYTHING about you from birth and can pretent to be you or even appear to be you. ITS A LIE.

" It is given unto man once to die and after that the judgement " Heb 9:27

ibrocool:
Lovely picture.
As much as I like Teni, I felt bad with the kind of attitude she showed when she received award from President Buhari.

No matter how bad you hate your leader, you need to show respect in public.

But she received the award from him.

She thanked him in a statement after that .
.

She hasn't for once since then said she was snubbing him.

I think it's all much ado about nothing.

Betterone:


Abroad is so good that even dangote has sell off his business in Nigeria and relocate abroad to be working as a shop attendant collecting $2k per month. Sit down there , don't go and sell your property to relocate soo gbo

Don't get it confused Mr. Man. Many people succeed in Nigeria, but success is easier abroad and life is also better.

Betterone:


It's a lie. Wizkid and burna boy are living abroad. They became succesful afterward. They didn't make it in Nigeria. It's the White people in America that's now buying their song. No Nigerian can afford money to buy TV to watch Wizkid show. Na why them move abroad be that

Wizkid and Burna boy didn't succeed in Nigeria, it's abroad they succeeded.? Oga haba, hahhaa

Dont you know that It's when you succeed locally you attract international attention!

So how about Sunny Ade, KWAM1, Fela, Femi Kuti, 2Face, they also live abroad??

I don't mean to be rude, but maybe in the area village where you live, they don't have money to buy TVs or go to shows.

Mr. Man....haba

VeryWickedMan:
The end is near for Ukraine, US, NATO and any other entity foolish enough to align with them.

All of you go sabi sabi last

Betterone:


That's a lie. Nobody can be successful in naija without moving abroad

What about the millions that are successful in Nigeria?
The young billionaires at Paystack and other start ups? The old billionaires at Interswitch?
The successful singers like Wizkid and Burna Boy.
The hundreds of thousands of traders in Lagos, Anambra, Kano.

Yes Nigeria makes it hard to succeed and even when you do, life can be hard here; but many are doing well regardless.

Guy, you better wise up man,

osazsky:
food

Nobody gives you food, you get it yourself.

Its the governments job to give you an enabling environment to get food and more.

And they have done that in Ghana by giving you stable electricity and security.

Ehismarkninetee:
Anybody that says Ghana is better than Nigeria, is a big liar. Let me tell you the honest truth, Ghana is only better than Nigeria in aspect of electricity and security. But wait, isn’t that the key parameters to measure if a country is doing good?


Well, for now. I think I have to keep being positive and remain on my grind, hoping for God to make a way for me. That’s my only hope.

You have electricity and security, what else do you need? I'm assuming you are into some form of business, definitely not a salary job; whether you make it or not is up to you.
If we had stable electricity and security in Nigeria, millions would make it.

How did you loose your money in a year?

I hope and pray you are not doing anything like Yahoo. Please don't, it comes with a massive curse.

Yes. It's private property and they have their rules.
Same way Mosques have their rules and same way the city of Mecca for example will not allow non Muslims to enter anywhere in the city.

Even Nightclubs have rules on what you wear.
Some Nightclubs won't allow you wear slippers or sandals or certain type of clothes.

It's not difficult, obey their rules or go elsewhere.

You have spoken well.

We know the crowd, the same " All Yorubas, Hausas, Igbos, Ijaw, Nupe, Ogoni, Men, Women, Whites are bad" just because of their experience with one person or something they heard.

Lestatdelioncou:


What are you talking about? Are we addressing the person of the governor or the stupid nonsensical rubbish unrealistic monopoly dangote enjoys ?

Monopoly that is bringing Jobs and Goodness to the people. 1 Dangote is better than Buhari, Tinubu, Peter Obi, Atiku combined x 100.

Infact they should give him monopoly over EVERYTHING in Nigeria.

And if truly Monopoly is how he succeeds, then is he also using Monopoly in Ethopia, Zambia, Mali, Gambia etc?

Lestatdelioncou:
Dangote has enjoyed ridiculous monopolies found no where else in the world .

I am with Yahaya Bello on this one. Dangote is an outrageous ilegal monopoly which should only exist in fantasy movies and comedy

You are with a thieving corrupt politician who has brought zero jobs to his people versus a man who employs hundreds of thousands of Nigerians, all tribes?

Viraltrends123:
Government ehnnnn, the jobs and investment, they won't do, people that are ready to do it, they will still be disturbing them. If Dangote leave the site for them can they handle it, the imo government palm kernel and coconut farm, where is it today. What message are they trying to pass to other investors.

Dangote keep investing in the country despite it's Downfall, this is unlike most billionaires, even Nigerians don't appreciate.

if I'm the with my temper, I will even stop building the refinery, the government should keep importing fuel and cement.

Unfortunately, those in government don't care about things like that. Infact they love how we import fuel as more money can be stolen.

There are 2 sets of Angels.

The Elect who make up two thirds of all angels. They were faithful to God during the rebellion.

And

The Fallen angels who joined Lucifer to rebel. They make up the other one third. We call them demons now.

Nothing new here.
It was the same 20 years ago in the same Borno when I was a teacher there.
But 100% they are eager to learn and their parents want them to learn.

The classrooms were filled up.

Perfectbeing:
How come was a Nigerian American able to rob America 68 times before he was caught?

Check the number of unsolved cases of missing people (which included kidnappings) in America.
This is a country with CCTV everywhere and a security budget of more than the other top 5 countries combined.

Your initial example was of a mass murderer and I replied you saying there is not one mass killing in the USA where the culprit is not dead or arrested within 24 hours.

Now you bring examples of a non violent bank robber and missing people. Ok, I assume when I answer this, you will bring up scammers, rapists and burglars. Ok

There are levels of crime in America and levels of focus. There are also 4 levels of Police: Federal, State, County and City.

Again like I said in my earlier reply, there is no country without crime. America may even have more crime than Nigeria.
The difference Is that in America there are people working 24 hours a day to solve these crimes.
Their promotion and salaries is based on how many crimes they solve; not by who they know or State of origin.


The Nigerian robber was a non violent bank robber. Most likely one detective would have been assigned to the case, when they discovered that it was the same person robbing, a task force would have been set up. If he had shot anyone or killed, he wouldn't have gone free for that long.

Again kidnapping for ransom is a low IQ crime that has been eradicated in most countries.
When you kidnap someone for money, it's different from kidnapping your child in a custody dispute or to rape the victim or to kill them.

In a decent orderly country, you can no longer successfully kidnap anyone for ransom ( money). If the phone calls are not traced, the money payment will be traced. And in Nigeria, it's not just one person kidnapped, it's thousands and the kidnappers are not caught.

Nigeria can't progress if we continue to make excuses for the incompetent leaders.

ThemanS:
who told you Nigeria has over 1m soldiers?
The whole Nigerian armed forces both military and paramilitary is not up to 1.5m and mind you 60% serve as guards to high ranking officers and politicians

Police : 450,000
Soldiers: 100,000
FRSC, NDSC, Customs, : Over 500,000.

Perfectbeing:
America spend over $750 billion on defense. Yet a 14 years old boy will carry gun, enter inside school and shoot over 21 persons.

America with CCTV, citizen database, millions of soldiers, policemen, FBI, CIA couldn't stop a Nigerian man for robbing after 68 times.

But within 24 hours that killer will be dead or arrested. And if arrested, will be jailed or sentenced to death within a year.

As long as there is a devil, there will be evil in every country.

What civilized countries do is is combat crime and punish evil doers.

When last did you hear of kidnap for Ransome in America? It's been over 40 years! You know why?.Kidnapping for ransom is such a stupid crime and so easy to solve; it has been eradicated.

It's so easy, even a year 1 recruit can solve a kidnapping case. How do you kidnap people for money and get away with it?
They make phone calls, house the victims, buy food for them, then collect naira printed by the YEARS! Are they ghosts?

I am happy for you, happy for him and happy for the family.

But not happy for Nigeria. This is just unbelievable.

A country with over 1 million soldiers, policemen, paramilitary, government funded security men, billions of dollars spent on security every year, billions spent on CCTV, NIN, etc and all this keeps happening.

It's called a prop. Too many low IQ people whether Obi, Atiku or Tinubu supporters, all the same.

You want to be a nuisance on nairaland?, Fine, but do it with your brain..... Your brothers are in prison all over the continents, you should be worried about that

Try and ignore @OyeofIkoTuN and people like that. Their very existence depends on people replying to their outrageous posts. He's probably checking and refreshing his page every minute to see how many people are responding to him.

It's a pathetic way to live. Many of them are loosers in real life.
