The bible is clearly exempted and for this reason is why the only time people hear about these dead things is in fantasy novels and no one even took them seriously.

Most people know that at least the first few chapters of Genesis are fantasy.

Dtruthspeaker:
Surely, they all did not create these gods only 1 or 2 did. And surely, those creators did not live more than 150years. So it is only natural for their creations to die along with them

It is societies of people that create Gods for their society in order to organise it and live peacefully. And the Gods they create live as long as they are worshipped, which in some cases is thousands of years.

Anu was worshipped from 3500 BC to 500 BC, and Nun from 3150 BC to 30 BC. Do the maths and you'd find its much longer than your 150 years.

Dtruthspeaker:
Clearly you are talking about the gods you created. And if the gods you created are 3000 old, how old are you people who created such God's? Also, how old is Chineke and Oluwa? You did not mention those ones but calling the names given only in fantasy novels.

Fantasy novels like the Bible?

Humans, as in Homo Sapien, are like 300,000 years old, but unfortunately did not leave us much record about their gods, which were mostly thunder, lightning, the local river, the oldest tree, a rock, etc.

Anu was created circa 3500BC, 5500 years ago.
Nun was created circa 3150BC, 5150 years ago.
Both are now dead.

Shiva was created circa 3300 BC, 5300 years ago, and still lives since it is still worshipped by some.

Chineke and Oluwa are as old as the tribes that created them, and are relatively new in the history of gods.

The almanjeri system is a ploy to enslave.

The Hausas are taught to read a book in a language they do not understand, and are then told the meaning of what they read.

Its similar to the Bible readers being told Adam was created in God's Image, when its obvious Adam was created after God had rested on the Sabbath, and God can't be created from mud, and the job and pay given to the Image is very different to that given to the naked ignorant enslaved Adam.

It's not only the Hausas that need independence, we Nigerians all need to free ourselves from the bondage of ignorance too.

What Iran is doing is basically a war crime.

Really? Do you know what a war crime is?

basilico:
I hope I'm not getting you wrong ,I don't watch your videos.

basilico:
Budaatum knows exactly what I'm asking , I needed a clarification from his post.

You'd have watched the video if you needed clarification, instead of exhibiting ignorance.

oz4real83:
it starts from the mind, the hausas must change their mindset, they must remove the Fulani name from the Hausa\fulani joint name they are both called. They must make it known to the whole world that they are both separate peoples. They must recognize their large population and take advantage of it over the fulanis.

Easier said than done to change their mind when their minds are exactly what has been colonised.

And that's where we Nigerians come in. Its our duty to free our neighbours from slavery. And it starts by us recognising our neighbours are enslaved, and that we are the next slaves if we do nothing.

I thought those tribes are one? Since they love the Fulani why can't they let them continue ruling?

This is what most think, that they are one and love their oppressors. Its like claiming slaves love their masters.

sreamsense:
Those that replaced that of Hamas and Hezbollah, where are they now?

They are there terrorising Israel, which is exactly why Israel keeps bombing them.

Factcheck0001:
I wish seun could just monetize this site

I offered to pay subscription but seun does like money that much it seems.

He can keep the free users and add benefits (image in post, spambot immunity etc) for subs.

franchasng:
It will be better for Khamenei to borrow sense and abort whatever mission he is planning to live the remaining years of his life on earth, if not, it will be cut short by Israel, sadly

Khamenei is not so selfish that all he thinks of is his own life.

Someone else will quickly replace him if he's murdered.

jmoore:
But Hausa is among major tribe. How can you say Fulani are dominating you in your state? Are the population of Fulanis in Katsina more than Hausa people?

Fulani don't need to have a larger population to dominate. They just need to have been more wily and knowledgeable (and devious) than those they oppressed.

The number of Brits in Nigeria when Nigeria was colonised was likely not up to 10% (1% even, I bet) of the population of the Nigerians they colonised. And about 600 Spaniards were on Hernán Cortés ship when he conquered the Aztecs.

jmoore:
Babablu bulabu

Don't mind us. We always want to make out we were better than our neighbours, when the truth is we were equally as bad as each other.

When Nigerian gained independence from the British, no one considered the North was colonised by Fulanis and needed independence too.

We are hopefully now realising the North needs freeing from Fulani colonisation, and would start working towards it.

kettykin:
Nigeria will not last a second with the type of technology Israel has, Nigeria can be destroyed by the pressing of a button, all bridges, power infrastructure, dams, telecommunications infrastructure, hospitals, market, water pipes , critical roads ,pharmaceutical companies, offices and when Nigerians wake up over night ,they will be back to stone age.

I guess you must be Ghanaian, or Chadian, hence your "they".

You wouldn't want your own country obliterated so.

Kemetian:
I don't understand your position.

What is wrong with bamboo houses as low cost, affordable housing?

Nothing is wrong if we had enough bamboo, and the skills to build with it and the desire to buy such houses.

I just need think of the wind that blew off the roof next door to wonder if it wouldn't blow away a bamboo house.

mrvitalis:
Firstly we do not produce enough bamboo trees for this stuff

Secondly there is actually no prove bamboo house would be cheaper than block houses.

Ofemannnu:
Liar.
Tinubu didn't say that rubbish.
Tinubu never said that.

I didn't believe he said that neither, and found a perm sec said it for the FG.

Esuabana Asanye, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, disclosed the plan this in Abuja on Wednesday during a Capacity Building Workshop on Relevance of Bamboo for Climate-Smart Housing Construction

USA farmers not selling in China will make them sell in USA instead, which will increase product in USA markets and eventually reduce price (inflation), and make America great again.

Call it the farmers sacrifice for maga success.

I have been on a deep dive into this topic for about two days now. When you have a moment, check out Patrick Boyle's piece on this.

The number of ways this fella will Bleep up the US, they have no idea.

Yeah. He called it Revenge Tax. Not many are noticing is why I posted. I can't figure why he'd discourage foreign investment in USA.

Good morning Senator 😁😁😁😁

This "democrat" seems to have just become woke, but watch him go unwoke as soon as dump shows him some love.

nateevs:
You have completely lost all manner of decency. You just jump online to find anything that agrees with your narrative, and you post. No verification of truth required.

He never had any manner of decency. And he does not know what truth means.

Oh! I found it after attempting to remove the last line above.

Ridiculous I dare say, considering how often my longer posts get me spambotted. Is seun trying to reduce engagement and use of Nairaland, I wonder.

And where is this rule written?

Here's why the concept of an eternal universe is not supported by current scientific understanding:

You at least wouldn't henceforth go about saying atheists claim the universe is eternal.

Thing is, not even Gods are eternal. Yahweh is only about 3000 years old, which is a blink of an eye in universe time. Evidence shows Gods are created and eventually abandoned and left to die in the Graveyard Of Dead Gods.

Is the person described here, you?

No one cares what you call it but what we all know is that increasing view means that where before you could only see the guy standing at the bus stop with his wallet in his pocket, an increased view would be you seeing through that wallet to see the money/monies and the denominations inside that wallet.

Please! One can increase ones view by simply learning the usefulness of square roots instead of thinking it is poison.

That said, an increased view would be you understanding what you see, which is why it is written that "the eye should be the lamp of your body". You can't see fruits without it, and would likely go looking in another persons wallet due to a narrow view.

Steep:
There might not be a big bang or there might be but however every evidence points to the direction of a universe that has a beginning.

Actually, all the evidence I have considered point to the current universe beginning from an (unknown) state that existed prior to it.

As I and many have mentioned here already, something had to exist to go bang. And some have even dated that big bang when this current universe began to be 13.6 billion plus or minus 200 million years ago. They do not however claim there was nothing before then

As to whether there might or might not have been a big bang, I'd expect there might have had to be. Ordinary, "God said, “Let there be light”", must have produced a monumental bang, not to talk of a bigger bang that might have occured In the beginning [when] Godis written to have created the heavens and the earth. Can't say for certain though, I must say, since I wasn't there to observe it.

Steep:
Alright, what I meant when I said that if the universe has always being then we wouldn't have being. Supposing you were walking on road going to a point at the end of the road but however the road is infinite would you ever get to your destination?

Yes I would ever get to my destination, which you've described as, "a point at the end of the road", which is not infinite by being a point.

Of course, if one had no destination point and had nothing better to do, one might just travel down an infinite road for the sake of it forever, but I don't think there's a continuous road that is infinite enough for one not to arrive at a dead end or die trying.

Steep:
What I mean by infinite is endless time. Sometimes it is used to mean an incredible amount that placing a particular number maybe difficulty but however it is not truly infinite.

So, because its difficult, you just fill the gap with an infinity you yourself know is not true?

I hope you're therefore not surprised I'm not buying, especially since it flags of a fallacy.

Steep:
you seem to attribute intelligence to atheism.
I apologize for the harshness of language.

Would you like to show me where I attribute "intelligence to atheism" please, because I can't exactly say all atheists are intelligent, nor are all theists lacking in intelligence, intelligence being the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

It would be rather unintelligent to claim a person who has acquired the ability and knowledge to replace a defective heart with a good heart lacks intelligence because they go to church on Sundays I'd think, unless one wants to more unintelligently claim all heart surgeons are atheists.

LordReed:
Some people mistakenly think the BB came from nothing. I dunno how they arrive at that since all the descriptions of the BBT include mentions of a hot dense state before the expansion.

Have you not noticed some Christians here have not read their Bible, my Lord? Why would you expect them to know much about big bangs?

Just read someone here telling me "atheists claim the universe is eternal", without realising eternal means, there is God. I suppose he might have come across atheists who fear burning in hell.

CoolUsername:
I'm not saying it's impossible but much like the multiverse hypothesis, doesn't it just kick the can further down the road?

They just raise questions as to what started the cycle or what caused the multiverse to come to be. But we don't have these answers.

However, what we do know is that the universe rapidly expanded 13.8 billion years ago. In the absence of any further evidence, the most logical path to take should be the one with the least assumptions which would be that the universe has always existed in some form. This can then be disproven once evidence suggests otherwise.

Just like what we humans that exist today must have existed in some form in the very distant past I suppose.

Does it not make you think the current universe evolved into being what it is today? The God written about in the Bible does the same by evolving from some angry brimstone and fire your ass thingy, into a meek and gentle forgiving Jesus. Instead of "Love your neighbor and hate your enemy", he said let your other cheek be slapped too. The "evolution of thought", I'd say.

He must have been blackmailing his paedo clients and passing off the material to local or international spy agencies..
Too many people wanted him dead,maybe even governments. That's my opinion

Yeah. Including the President Biden who let Epstein die on his watch and said barely anything.

I think there's a mule that he let Bill and Hillary in to kill him. Got any links?
