That will be difficult to trace because they didn't carry denomination for head.

Not at all, early christian history is well documented. Surely the church must exist.

CheapHomes1:
Wow...you are so ignorant? Catholics hardly read the bible so they barely know what Christianity is all about.

The word bishop means overseer and it is not a Catholic thing. It is biblical. Unfortunately, Catholics decided to make bishops outside biblical criteria.

1 Timothy 3
King James Version
3 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Your 1st statement is just so off the mark,you do realise that the majority of folks could not even read for the 1st 1000 years of Christianity so your statement holds no water. In fact, the catholic church lives the scriptures, you should attend a catholic mass if you haven't to see the scriptures lived out in practice. Nonetheless catholics read scriptures with church guidance.

With regard to the bishops, exactly how has the catholic church ordained bishops outside biblical criteria?
You appear to conclude that the bible exists in a vacuum.

Pacesetter2021:
What ever you vet, compare it to the Bible not catholic church.
Catholic church is not the benchmark. Most of what is done there is against the Bible so will you stand with God's word or with catholic church, if it gets to that poin?

You're probably not aware that a lot of the teachings that are taken for granted right now are from this same Catholic Church through its councils including the make up of the bible as you see it today.

I'm sure you're aware that even within the bible it is the church that is the pillar and foundation of truth - 1tim 3:15.

And several other references to the church.

I suppose you'll have to ask yourself ,which church. Please do some research Christian history as the bible books themselves were written within a particular tradition/ context.

MasterJayJay:
The first Christian churches predate the Catholic faith by about 300 years.

The description of church activities in the bible is completely different from present Roman Catholic church.

Please could you let me know where these first christian churches are. Surely they must still exist

This unending building collapse is a further sign that things are not at all right in the country.
You'd expect that an emergency would be called in the construction of tall buildings, new laws brought in to sort out that sector. But our kontiri, hmmn

BigBashiru:
They do not have better living conditions....they only hv better infrastructure but so does Brazil and China....all western countries are depressing, socially isolating and lacking in moral character.....

It only seems Nigeria is worse off due to high population.... and we hv almost caught up in terms of infrastructure....

"The western European is a savage in need of native american and African civilization" - unknown author

Lol,You honestly think Nigeria is not depressing and lacking in moral character?

Living conditions will also include access to food, shelter, social safety, education, healthcare, education, water, justice, good governance. Please confirm which one Nigeria excels at to conclude that the West doesn't have better living conditions.

We have almost caught up in terms of infrastructure hahaha - we are 100 years behind!!

The queen controls the armed forces of the UK,she's the number one citizen in and out of the UK,The PM seek her advice and consent on important state matters.The queen is preevy to who becomes the PM.

On paper the queen is the head of everything, but she can only act on the advice of the PM,even with regard to the military.
UK practices constitutional monarchy not absolute monarchy.

Also, with respect to selecting the PM, the queen has no choice these days but to follow the convention of selecting the leader of the party with the largest number of seats. Over a century ago, they might have had a say on who would be PM.

coputa:
It's brains that builds a nation and not age.Britain is largely controlled by the queen(a grandmother)while the PM is just a figure head,yet they are doing well.sentiment will lead Nigerian voters into the ocean in 2023.

It's the other way round, the queen is the figure head and only carries out duties as advised by the PM.

The PM is the head of UK in practice.

BigBashiru:
The "whites" are not worthy of emulation....they are fantastically corrupt even more than Nigerians just that they are subtle about it and have brainwashed folks thru western media in Nigeria..

!! So who do we emulate?
If whites are more fantastically corrupt than Nigerians, how come they generally have better living conditions in the West?

RichAbujaGuy:
There's no stability in the UK government. They've selected a different prime minister every 3 years since 2007. You want that kind of turnover in leadership for Nigeria?

Gordon Brown 2007-2010

David Cameron 2010-2016

Theresa May 2016-2019

Boris Johnson 2019-2022

Liz Truss 2022 - ?

These guys don't mess about. you don't deliver / PM messes about, either Party or electorate push you out.
We could do with being able to scrutinise our leaders more in Nigeria without been arrested, that'll be a good start.

Lordsnipper:
Whites cannot bear a simple loss. No wonder no African team has reached semis of FIFA world cup. Truth is believe a white head at your own risk. Girls that were tested before the tournament. Blessing okhagbare never do for una..chia white devils

Blacks win most of the medals at track events. If African teams were good enough, they'd already have reached world cup semis.
Testing is done randomly before and during competitions, all medal winners are generally tested after major competitions.
Blessing Okagbare doped, also tried to evade sample collection but was caught and given a lenghty ban. Testing regime in athletics is stringent these days and doesn't matter whether you're black or white

Harmlesspill:
Ohhhh!
O'men these men go dig them.
Well it's been long and will be well enjoyed by the sisters.

This post is insensitive and glorifies rape!!

Everyone just left to their own devices. Where is the police in all of this?
Na wa for this country.

Amaechi5:
I wished it was in the final, but all the same I wish well for her in the final and right now having high hope that she'll beat Camacho Quinn in the final.

She's the winner!!!!

The first Nigerian to win a world medal.


This people don do ojoro, claiming the 12.06 second record was a mistake due to wind. Nawaoo.

Athletics records are always subject to an allowable wind speed of up to 2.0m/s. It's the rule.

I think the wind speed in that final was 2.5m/s, making it a wind aided run.

MaxInDHouse:
The legacy Jesus laid down totally differs from what the Catholics are doing {Matthew 15:7-8} rebellious ones in the first century who never wanted to be submissive to the apostles in the congregation preferred political prowess to mildness. 3John 1:9
The apostles only tell their fellow believers that rebellion against orderliness in the congregation will lead to eternal damnation {Hebrews 13:7, 17} but those ravenous wolves don't accept such ideas they feel it's too weak so they connived with political pagan Roman priests to establish their own religion in order to lord it over people in general {Luke 22:25} that's how they welcome all the pagan traditions of Rome.
So the name "Roman Catholic Church" is really fitting as the religion has nothing in common with what Jesus taught rather it's based on the philosophical ideas of people back then and Roman pagan traditions!

So where is this early church that didn't rebel and was submissive to the apostles?

What is the legacy that our Lord Jesus laid down that totally differs from what the church teaches?

Show me what that early church looks like and how it differs from what the Catholic church teaches

MaxInDHouse:
After the death of the Apostles the Antichrist (individuals who wants to dominate others but aren't ready to submit to any order) emerged and disagreement erupted in their midst leading protests and fights. Constantine (a Roman Emperor) wanted his government to end the troubles so he called all the parties together and they formed a council. This council sat down and agreed on so many things which led to the birth of the Roman Catholic Church!

All the Apostles of Christ died miserably with the exception of John who was banished to the isle of Patmos after all attempt to kill him failed.

So it was this Roman Emperor that initiated the reform not for the love of Christ but for his own Empire to be strong as all parties agrees to unite under whatever they come up with.

Ever since then the Roman Catholic Church had the power to arrest anyone who raises any objection against what the council agreed upon. Constantine love this since the church is for the glory of Rome so armies will be dispatched to go and destroy any city where opposition against the church may be it is called the "CRUSADES" that is what lasted until the sixth century when Muhammad was born in Mecca. This fightings and killings in the name of God wasn't the intention of Muhammad but since that's what he found the Roman Catholic Church doing to convert people back then he adopted the system and started fighting to establish his own religion too!

It'll be good to know which church existed with its bishops and all the percecution prior to Constantine's time.

You do know Roman Catholic is a modern coinage,right? The church's offical name is Catholic church.

MaxInDHouse:
Let me enlighten you perhaps you don't know.

After the death of all the first century Jewish disciples of Christ a Roman emperor initiated what we know today as the Roman Catholic Church that's why this religion always claim to be the first church but later many people began protesting against this religion and they formed their own movement after lots of fightings and killings.
Till today the Catholic Church stands on their ground that all other religions claiming denominations in Christendom are rebels that protested against the Catholic Church.
So all your ranting makes no sense if you're not a member of the Roman Catholic Church!

What i'm saying is simple:
People building hospitals and schools aren't doing so for Jesus because that's not what Jesus taught his followers to go out there and do. But if building hospitals and schools makes the Roman Catholic Church true disciples of Christ as you've been arguing since then why aren't you a member of this so called GOOD church?

Please enlighten me, which Roman Emperor set up the Catholic Church?

etrange:
OK. Thanks. My data is outdated. The highest was 42°C. And that's one of the highest so far. However, it is still much hotter in the UK.

There's a difference between the actual temperature and how it feels. That's why weather reports give these two variables two different columns. The reason is humidity. When you sweat, there's evaporation which reduces the feeling of heat. When humidity is high, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in more intense heat. This is called the "feels-like" temperature and it's measured in terms of relative humidity. Below is a table of how temperature feel like with respect to relative humidity. I've been in both regions, believe me, the exact same temperature is much hotter in the West.

Definitely feels hotter in UK at equivalent temperatures due to the humidity �

etrange:
Not up to 40°C. Ni state in Nigeria gets up to that.

See Maiduguri weather in April 2022. Beat 40 degs/ 104Fah several times

Nigeria has never reached 40 degrees! Not even Kano(31° presently)

Check out Maiduguri weather between March and May

coputa:
They are all figure head,it's the queen that pulls the strings and call the shot there.The prime minister is just the head of government while the queen is the head of state and the head of the armed forces,she is the most influencial UK citizen both national and internationally,she is also the head of the commonwealth.I am happy many countries are pulling out of the commonwealth now.

While the Queen is the head of state, it's the PM that carries out the executive functions through royal perogative and is thus defacto UK leader. The queen is merely a figure head with very limited role in UK politics. If she gets involved in politics it'll cause a constitutional crisis. She effectively approves all the PM's advice.

kapelvej:
what time you think it is in Australia or Japan or Easter island by now

Probably only Kiribati is at the specified time now, so it more likely a projection of what the night sky will be like at that time from most locations.

They've also calculated that the alignment will occur in 2040 so will have an idea of what the night sky will look like then

driand:
But why is the date on that picture June 24,and today na June 23rd?

Scientists and Lamba be like

These guys can calculate the likely position of planets and stars for decades ahead.

How does this now affect nigeria How does this now affect nigeria

The moment we start thinking deeply and researching in Nigeria, we'll find solutions to our problems that are simple in the eyes of the world.

The thought process that has been employed here within astronomy is also how the white man has developed smart phones and other technologies used by every Nigerian.

Temhellen:
Sense is far away from u Dakolo. With d current happenings, na how APC use ur song without permission dey ur head?
Mtcheeeeewwww

You don't realise music copyright law is big business. This is one area Nigeria can make big bucks from.

elbukaze:
I watched the program life, the song was not played by a DJ, but it was a presentation by Zack Orji and his team, honestly I was surprised seing our Endsars song been presented by this men

It doesn't matter what the mode of playing the music is, the venue does need to have a license to play it.

Oluwasaudy:
Aswear bro...make e go follow DJ reason na...chasing clout.

He Sha to be in the news for just no reason...

He suppose complain about those using his music at the clubs..concerts....parties...etc

Mumu man


.

The point is those venues would likely have licences ( or they should do) so wouldn't be an issue.

https://creativelegal.com.ng/2021/06/09/how-can-hotels-and-nightclubs-in-nigeria-make-sure-that-they-comply-with-copyright-when-playing-music-on-their-premises/

Chai, the responses here na wa!!!

The venue will need to have a license to play music publicly as is the case here. The convention isn't a private event. The license is what covers any DJ that plays at the venue. The question is whether the venue has the license to play music publicly.

We are so used to doing things illegaly in Nigeria that we see an artist raising a genuine query as stupid.

Check out international artists who have even died 50 years ago but still get royalties whenever their music is played .

ihatebuhari:
don't mind the slave, they are the one causing disunity in Christendom thereby allowing some Islamist terrorist religion to insult Christianity

Smh. Never ceases to amaze me how you get absolute untruths like this.
You mean the church that is always striving for unity and stood by Gods teachings regardless of political pressure!!!

In fact a church that went to war as part of the crusades to ensure Christianity wasn't killed off by Islamic rulers.

Excelloque:
Catholic Church is not a "money" church? The Catholic Church has a bank of it's own. And it is a very rich bank. It has been involved in a lot of scandalous criminal activities. Google it. The Church even has her own country. How else do you define rich or "money" church?

What is wrong with owning a bank or having its own country? The Catholic Church organisation has existed for 2000 years and has been able to achieve that through proper structure. Some Bad eggs notwithstanding.
Quoted poster was obviously referring to certain churches that focus on the false prosperity gospel teaching .

ndo1:
I would like you to clarify this;is in terms of finance,military hardware cum technology or personels?

Militarily, UK is the largest European contributor to NATO and it has deployed more troops to NATO's forward presence. Obviously US is the largest overall.

Financially, UK spends more per % of GDP than France or Germany on defence so has more direct and indirect impact on NATO services.

ndo1:
UK is just NATO's lapdog.

Do you realise that UK is the 2nd biggest contributor to NATO after the US?
