It was your Church that stole from pagans go and read about your Church history with an unbaised mind.

One would say you should "go and read about your Church history with an unbiased mind". Or do you know that it is his church that is the foundation of your church, and that your church would most likely not exist if his church had not done the foundational work which your church "stole"?

You might want to read up on wiki, and All about. When you done with the above, and learnt from Alice et al, you may then advance to A Source Book for Ancient Church History From the Apostolic Age to the Close of the Conciliar Period by Joseph Cullen Ayer, Jr., Ph.D.

then we dont have a spacious hall to accommodate good people for the meeting

We probably do "have a spacious hall to accommodate good people for the meeting", since there is much less to a hall than a hospital. But Atiku still has reasons, and the right, to meet wherever he wants to.

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC, Yekini Nabena is just spewing through his anus and bringing my Sai Bubu into disrepute. What would he be probing Atiku for? And does he not realise what would be said if government organisations probed Atiku, and the precedent that would be set?

Yekini Nabena should be sacked for opening his mouth, and Sai Bubu supporters should be the ones asking for his head as he has made us seem stupid!

We also have good hospitals that meets international standards here, why is PMB travelling to London always?

Where is this "good hospitals that meets international standards here" please?

Seems it's too early for a defence from the Democrats on here, so, I'll have a tentative go.

Fake news? Obama made her do it!

blueAgent:
Its obvious you are a kid or just been naive.

I am sure i have more knownledge on different issues than you will ever acquire in 3 lifetimes.

You're the one who said you don't read! Were you lying?

Do know that the issue here is not about knowledge, but about understanding, which you have not really shown that you have!

MuttleyLaff:
I remember reading "Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Irunmọlẹ" and not "Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Olodumare"
Baba Fagunwa never wrote any book titled "Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Olodumare"

You are correct, muttly, thanks. My mix up of two of his books!

Fagunwa's book is "Ògbójú Ọdẹ nínú Igbó Irúnmalẹ̀". Do note, blueagent, please. You may also read his Igbo Olodumare.

MuttleyLaff:
"¹⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."
2 Timothy 3:16-17

Do these Orwell, Achebe and Adichie or even Nairaand's own OtemA, tick all the boxes in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 above?

Yes, they do tick the boxes in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. "Instruction in righteousness" afterall does not always come in the form, "thou shalt" or "thou shalt not".

Reading will expand understanding. And Otem's writings are most definitely worth the read, except a believer might not be able to read it objectively. Good recommendation though!

blueAgent:
Thanks, but what intellectual value has all this book added to you becos i have not seen anything to show that you even understand or comprehend the issue at hand.

You don't understand that books are written by human beings and that they don't drop down from heaven. Reading more would help you put things you believe into some rational perspective and improve your intellectual abilities.

These books would specifically allow you to learn what fantasy is. After all, you aren't likely to believe Alice actually was in wonderland, or that Swedenborg really did go to heaven and then hell, despite his detailed description.

Starting with these would prepare you to read some more serious stuff, next year perhaps. Let me know how you get on now.

blueAgent:
Can you suggest some books for me?

Well, since it seems you haven't read much, you might want to start with a simple one like Alice in Wonderland. It's available online for free, as is Orwell's 1984, which is good too. Then consider Achebe's Things Fall Apart and Adichie's Purple Hibiscus, both which I consider essential reading for Nigerians. They are fiction, but would at least make you consider that the written word is written by human beings, and that 'believing' is a choice.

For non fiction, try Swedenborg's Heaven and Hell. It's an interesting book about the author's trips to heaven and hell. And if you can handle a book in Yoruba, try Fagunwa's Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Olodumare.

To be sincere though, any reading apart from religious text would most likely benefit you since it does not appear to be a thing you've done much of.

blueAgent:
Other books are not valid only the bible which is God's word that is valid.

You have not read a book that is valid apart from the Bible?! I can not believe this! Are you poor and can't afford valid books? Or is there no light to read them where you are?

How is the Bible God's word?

blueAgent:
It not what i say or what others say but what God and his word(bible says)

You mean you read it in a book? Don't you have any other books? Or did God speak to you?

Oga. I no dey read nairaland email oooo.

Gerrard59:
The Japanese cannot bow for 20 minutes at a stretch. Yes, they bow (it is their culture) but not for 20 minutes. Even Shinzo does not bow that long. The karoshi incident that had a lady commit suicide, the Dentsu CEO bowed, announced his resignation and apologised for the incident, but not for 20 minutes. Do you know what it is to bow for 20 minutes? Even when Lee Kuan Yew died, his son Loong and Abe bowed at the body but not for 20 minutes.

As for our power situation, we've lost it. Nigerians should not dream of constant power supply 100 years from now. It is not possible.

I very strongly beg to differ. I think before 100 years we Nigerians will stop waiting for light to drop from heaven and switch.

It is impossible stupid continues entire 100 years!

Alisegun:

Ladyhippolyta88:
Lies from the pit of hell.


Trump cannot overturn gay marriage in America.The republican party cannot.

Peter Thiel a gay man spoke at the republican national convention in 2016 even Trump himself declared support for the LGBT community in 2016 during the campaigns(although some say he is doing otherwise)
You nairaland religious fanatics should stop spreading fake news.

They seem to need something to make them feel great again, but since its all smoke, "lets just make it up like we usually do with everything else we believe!"

haymekus:
Here is an intellectual leader taking right decisions, unlike the lifeless one we have


#Back2daura

Yeah, Buhari should be dicktatorial like Trump. When he orders everyone to go to the mosque first thing every morning, we can all come on here and say he is "Making Nigeria Great At Last"! We could acronomise it as MANGRALA!

"Intellectual leader" my ass!

Nancy Pelosi is right. Democrats should win the House on Tuesday! According to [url=https://edition-m.cnn.com/2018/10/31/politics/nancy-pelosi-house-democrats-midterms-voting/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co.uk%2F&rm=1]CNN[/url]

By next week, I would be able to determine by myself if CNN are liars or not, or if we need an excuse like 'Nigerians done it' this time, instead of Russia.

We must not be overlooked. I got people who can stuff ballot box in my village!

itchie:
You know that to be true, All the outrage against Trump is born out of hypocrisy. It's hypocritical to hue and cry when something is done by party A and look the other way when it is done by party B.

Many would claim Hillary didn't say what she has been thought to mean, except the Trumpians, of course. Also, if Trump had said it, his supporters would likely take it as licence to say the same. Same as when Trump says things like "grab women by the kitten". Trumpians claim he just likes kittens and don't mean what it sounds like, while non-trumpians would lock up their kittens for fear Trumpians would strangle them.

itchie:
So you watched that video and you didn't hear her say "I know they all look alike' at around the 1:18 to 1:20 part of that video? One has to be careful with you Trump haters, your dishonesty is pervasive

Trump haters! If Trump had said what H said, we would have burnt the House down by now! I can only say he has form.

blueAgent:
Those other views are wrong.

That's what you all say.

Seems one has to be careful with you Hillary haters. Please show me how she said "all blacks look alike" !

His eyes have opened

Macron said, "it's a problem when a woman has 7 or 8 children" and asked to be shown an educated woman with that many! Is he wrong? Or shouldn't he be saying it?

Well, first, many are dying between Libya and Europe. The percentage of those who make it across is equal to those who crossed the Atlantic. That's a lot of didn't make it acrosses who are dead polluting the beaches along the coast of Macron land, so he has the right to be saying.

If the woman is having 7 or 8 children, you know her baby daddy has three women on the go right? Don't she understand how difficult it is to educate 7 or 8 children? And she lied about African's long life rate - in some countries, like Nigeria, it's less than 55 years!

If she likes "a village around her", she don't have to born them, just look out the window and adopt somebody and stop the drivel! If Macron has to be the one warning us about population, then the Chinese should definitely be selling us infertility drugs! Fact we be paying for it indicates we have some sense, at least.

blueAgent:
Having a thread on your claim does not make it true.

Never said it was. Just there's other views, is all.

Na. Nor working. Will look into it.

JeromeBlack:
Your link is dead

Yeah. Deleted it. Working on one that does.

JeromeBlack:

Stalin-ish.
