What I am saying is that: There was a time these Bandits from the Fulani Cattle Herders were terrorising the South of Nigeria, ...
Actually, it was people like you claiming the bandits in the South were Fulani herdsmen even though you never saw any cattle, and as we have found out, the South has its own terrorist.
Did I not point out to you that the Northerners were being far more terrorised than the South can imagine? Are schoolgirls being kidnapped enmasse in the South?
ono: LOL. The things of the Spirit are not discernible with physical eyes. The reason why when all these started, I told you, you will not understand. You can't read a book, a spiritual book like the Bible and expect to fully understand the content using your mortal eyes (spiritually blind, by the way).
You are correct, but what you are not admitting is that your so called "spiritual death" is not a thing you understand but was a thing you were told to believe, which just shows you spiritually do not even look with your own mortal eyes or spiritually use your own brain and mind.
Christ gave a cure for your malady. "In order to understand", he said, "you must abandon all you preconceived beliefs and approach your asking and knocking and seeking with an open mind". But then, he also said this would be as impossible for you to do as it would have been for a camel to enter through the needles eye.

You can't read a book, a spiritual book like the Bible and expect to fully understand the content using your mortal eyes (spiritually blind, by the way).
If we go by your approach of just reading the Bible and interpreting it literally, how do you interpret this passage from the Bible as stated by Jesus himself? After all, Jesus is no longer in the world.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." John 6: 47-51
I guess no one has never "believeth on me", because not many even get past 100 years.
Oh! My bad. I must misunderstand. I bet you'd tell me all the believing buried rotted dead people must be living everlastingly 6 feet deep as worm food in your alive is dead and white is black logic.
You might understand the toxicity of believing when you consider how stupid it is of you to believe perpetual lying drumpthf. Add to that how stupid I would need to be to believe Biden since I'm immune to drumpthf. Then consider how alimanjeris are created, and you just might get how silly it is to be a mere believer.
The verse you quoted was written thousands of years ago before it was understood that understanding is much more important than mere believing. Christ asked you to "ask and knock and seek", which is the opposite of believe, but in your wuruwuru logic that probably means, 'look a little till you find qanon and then believe it'. Basically, emulating believing trembling devils.
Ben, buda is not the charging officer nor the prosecutor nor the jury. The culprits are being charged and prosecuted and jailed as they rightly should be. You sit there arguing what the charge is. And make sure you inform Cruz so he can claim the jailed were innocent.
ono: Adam died a spiritual death, a precursor to the physical death that happened to him after 960 years. The original plan God had for him (and us) was to live forever. Compare living forever with living for 960 years.
You can't honestly expect me to abandon the use of my eyes and my brain and my ability to read and allow you to define "on the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die", to mean die like 800 years later.
If Biden made such a claim, that living people died like you claim, I bet you'd claim he's senile. But I get you. Given enough time you'd likely claim black is spiritually white, just like some of you claim drumpfth won the last election and now sits in the White House.
benalvino3: If we ask them why they are in jail or go to the persecutor's office, will they authenticate the lies the media is spreading? Even you have been echoing the same lie which the media and other Dems have instilled in you. you said it was an insurrection. Go through your own post... One post was directed to basilico. Can you provide any one who has been charged with what you claimed.
So you want me to go through my own posts looking for what you lie claiming I have been echoing? Do you seriously think you can so easily waste my time like you waste yours listening to qanon?
benalvino3: I never claim no one has been charged for Jan 6, I said no one has been charged for the crime they claimed they committed.
Perhaps you should give up on q and go learn where to seek accurate news. The prosecutors office might be a good start, or go vist the guilty in prison and ask them why they are in jail if they were not charged, tried and found guilty for the crime they committed on Jan 6.
And since they are in jail, its no more a claim, but a fact as determined by a jury of their peers.
No ono, I actually do understand. You don't eat fruits of knowledge for fear you might surely die a spiritual death on the day that you do eat, so you remain enslaved to qanon conspiracies like Adam was enslaved in the Garden of Eden until Eve freed him. You can see it though, since your eyes are not open yet.
benalvino3: you are surprised the liar is saying you said what you did not say?
budaatum is the same person who says he has been fired 10 times because of racism but is fast to call transgenders trannies definition of a professional victim
shadeyinka: The bandits aka "fulani herdsmen" as for now in Nigeria, there is no other ethnic group that practice nomadic cattle rearing.
The major atrocities committed by these same group is now basically in the north of Nigeria (Zamfara, Kaduna, Katsina etc)
Really? You telling me similar atrocities are not being committed anywhere else but the North? That's good news for the South then. We must have sympathy for those being athrocised upon in the North since we know how it feels.
I will definitely not understand how Adam went on to bear children after he supposedly died this so called 'spiritual death' of yours. I guess that's because my eyes are very open.
ono: The "death" the Holy Book alluded to is not the "physical" death you're familiar with. Adam and Eve died spiritually - a worse death by all standards, the day they ate the forbidden fruit. You will not understand. So, let's focus on politics.
Unfortunately, your wuruwuru to convince yourself that individuals we read went on to bear children and populate the earth died much earlier is the same wuruwuru you bring into your politics.
Spiritual death my buda ass!
budaatum: Like claiming "surely die" is spiritual death? I get you.
O Lord God Almighty, please let my spiritual death be as productive as the spiritual death of Adam and Eve, in Jesus Mighty Name, amen.
If I spiritually die and then go on to live for a tenth as long as we read they went on to live, and achieve a billionth of what we read they they went on to achieve, I think Nigeria and probably the entire world will make me at least a minor god, though I'd have to insist they don't bow down and worship me but just do greater things than I would have done.
ono: Trump later denounced the attack on the Capitol. He reminded protesters, I recall, that they should remember that "We are a party of Law and Order" - of course, that was based on the advise he received. What else would you have him do?
Yeah, later. After, "They want to come in again and rip off our country. Can't let it happen.....And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore".
I would have had him not encourage them in the first place!
ono: But even if he isn't an agent, why didn't they arrest the guy based on the hard evidence shown so far? There were video evidence of him coaxing the crowd to attack the Capitol.
Valid question.
Be patient instead of believing what you'd like to believe. The truth will soon out.
ono: Got to "take heed" - so says the Holy Book. Don't just take what you "see as evidence before your very eyes" as the gospel truth. Ponder. It's what makes us human. We are in the Age of Deception - like never seen before.
Ponder it, then make up conspiracies in your head?
That's precisely what Adam did that made him a naked ignorant slave in the Garden of Eden until use her senses Eve decided to check the evidence for herself only to find she did not surely die in the day she ate what Adam believed would kill him. She freed herself and her ignorant man from slavery and they went on to populate the earth, we read.
ono: My take on it based on all that I have seen, read and heard.
Your take is based on your desire to believe in alternative facts as presented by your qanon master in chief drumpthf as opposed to the evidence before your very eyes that you cover so you can't see.
And you keep showing you never paid schoolfees which is why you listen to the news according to your usual q-nut.
No one is charged in court on baseless claims. You need evidence to charge people for crimes, evidence which would be presented before a judge and a jury of your peers, and which would be contested by your councel if you bothered to get one. The jury then decides if the evidence presented meets with the facts and if you are guilty or not, after which you'd be acquited and be free to go or be found guilty and incarcerated or penalised for your crime.
Pass the books: Hold the oil _By Thomas L. Friedman
Every so often someone asks me: “What’s your favorite country, other than your own?”
I’ve always had the same answer: Taiwan. “Taiwan? Why Taiwan?” people ask.
Very simple: Because Taiwan is a barren rock in a typhoon-laden sea with no natural resources to live off of — it even has to import sand and gravel from China for construction — yet it has the fourth-largest financial reserves in the world.
Because rather than digging in the ground and mining whatever comes up, Taiwan has mined its 23 million people, their talent, energy and intelligence — men and women. I always tell my friends in Taiwan: “You’re the luckiest people in the world.
How did you get so lucky? You have no oil, no iron ore, no forests, no diamonds, no gold, just a few small deposits of coal and natural gas — and because of that you developed the habits and culture of honing your people’s skills, which turns out to be the most valuable and only truly renewable resource in the world today. How did you get so lucky?”
That, at least, was my gut instinct. But now we have proof. A team from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development , or O.E.C.D., has just come out with a fascinating little study mapping the correlation between performance on the Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, exam — which every two years tests math, science and reading comprehension skills of 15-year-olds in 65 countries — and the total earnings on natural resources as a percentage of G.D.P. for each participating country.
In short, how well do your high school kids do on math compared with how much oil you pump or how many diamonds you dig? The results indicated that there was a “a significant negative relationship between the money countries extract from national resources and the knowledge and skills of their high school population,” said Andreas Schleicher, who oversees the PISA exams for the O.E.C.D. “This is a global pattern that holds across 65 countries that took part in the latest PISA assessment.” Oil and PISA don’t mix.
As the Bible notes, added Schleicher, “Moses arduously led the Jews for 40 years through the desert — just to bring them to the only country in the Middle East that had no oil. But Moses may have gotten it right, after all.
Today, Israel has one of the most innovative economies, and its population enjoys a standard of living most of the oil-rich countries in the region are not able to offer.” So hold the oil, and pass the books.
According to Schleicher, in the latest PISA results, students in Singapore, Finland , South Korea , Hong Kong and Japan stand out as having high PISA scores and few natural resources, while Qatar and Kazakhstan stand out as having the highest oil rents and the lowest PISA scores.
(Saudi Arabia , Kuwait, Oman, Algeria, Bahrain, Iran and Syria stood out the same way in a similar 2007 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study, or Timss, test, while, interestingly, students from Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey — also Middle East states with few natural resources — scored better.)
Also lagging in recent PISA scores, though, were students in many of the resource-rich countries of Latin America, like Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. Africa was not tested.
Canada, Australia and Norway, also countries with high levels of natural resources, still score well on PISA, in large part, argues Schleicher, because all three countries have established deliberate policies of saving and investing these resource rents, and not just consuming them.
Add it all up and the numbers say that if you really want to know how a country is going to do in the 21st century, don’t count its oil reserves or gold mines, count its highly effective teachers, involved parents and committed students.
“Today’s learning outcomes at school,” says Schleicher, “are a powerful predictor for the wealth and social outcomes that countries will reap in the long run.”
Economists have long known about “Dutch disease,” which happens when a country becomes so dependent on exporting natural resources that its currency soars in value and, as a result, its domestic manufacturing gets crushed as cheap imports flood in and exports become too expensive.
What the PISA team is revealing is a related disease: societies that get addicted to their natural resources seem to develop parents and young people who lose some of the instincts, habits and incentives for doing homework and honing skills.
By, contrast, says Schleicher, “in countries with little in the way of natural resources — Finland, Singapore or Japan — education has strong outcomes and a high status, at least in part because the public at large has understood that the country must live by its knowledge and skills and that these depend on the quality of education. … Every parent and child in these countries knows that skills will decide the life chances of the child and nothing else is going to rescue them, so they build a whole culture and education system around it.”
Or as my Indian-American friend K. R. Sridhar, the founder of the Silicon Valley fuel-cell company Bloom Energy, likes to say, “When you don’t have resources, you become resourceful.”
That’s why the foreign countries with the most companies listed on the Nasdaq are Israel, China/Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, South Korea and Singapore — none of which can live off natural resources. But there is an important message for the industrialized world in this study, too.
In these difficult economic times, it is tempting to buttress our own standards of living today by incurring even greater financial liabilities for the future.
To be sure, there is a role for stimulus in a prolonged recession, but “the only sustainable way is to grow our way out by giving more people the knowledge and skills to compete, collaborate and connect in a way that drives our countries forward,” argues Schleicher.
In sum, says Schleicher, “ *knowledge and skills have become the global currency of 21st-century economies, but there is no central bank that prints this currency.* Everyone has to decide on their own how much they will print.”
Sure, it’s great to have oil, gas and diamonds; they can buy jobs. But they’ll weaken your society in the long run unless they’re used to build schools and a culture of lifelong learning.
*“The thing that will keep you moving forward,”* says Schleicher, is always *“what you bring to the table yourself.”*
benalvino3: I am talking about mental state and qualification you are talking about Dik. Is a Dik required to think before you post?
Yes, he put a bunch of hacks in his admin so he can always preach how diverse he was or is. Kamala Harris is a good example. She is someone he himself does not like.
Are saying the mental state and qualification of women disqualifies them in the army? Does it disqualify them in Congress too, or can a woman's mental state handle that much authority?
benalvino3: The media cannot keep saying its an act of insurrection or they committed an act of insurrection when that is not the case. That is what you keep hearing and my original post you responded to was pointing that out and you said it was wrong now you are changing mouth again.
How about you go lift a candy from a shop and the media started saying you killed someone in the shop? Those their reporting fit with the crime of shoplifting?
If media report falsehoods about me I can always sue them for defamation. It's however stupid to claim no one was charged for Jan 6 since we know many are already in jail.
benalvino3: Kamala Harris is lying just like the media and I was pointing that out before you came and try to prove me wrong. Stop talking from both sides of your mouth. It will not kill you to agree with facts from the right once in a while.
They are now trying to bring the idea that Sean Hannity was part of it from a text that shows he was not in support of what was going on. That's how they blatantly lie and folks like you want to buy it by any means necessary
You lied when you claimed no one had been charged for Jan 6.
Capitol rioter claims she is being scapegoated like ‘the Jews in Germany’ An imprisoned Capitol rioter who tweeted that her “white skin” would save her from jail has outrageously claimed she is being persecuted like “Jews in Germany”.
benalvino3: hahaha, proving my point for me and he does not even know it (embarrassing). Kamala Harris says it is worse than parle harbor and 9/11 but what do they charge them for? some are even getting community service for the crime that almost shut down the country, a terrorist attack. same people lying to you that the protesters/rioters killed a police officer cannot provide us with a murder charge(homicide)
no they do I too know. no one has been charged for insurrection, that is something you hear nonstop from the Dems, if you too know by now you would have realized they are lying to you.
Maybe you should stop listening to the Dems. Kamala Harris is not responsible for charging anyone so her opinion hardly matters when it comes to actual charges for many who were prosecuted and jailed or are serving the community for their crimes on Jan 6.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 31 defendants were sentenced to periods of incarceration, with longer prison terms for those who engaged in violence or threats. So far, the median prison sentence for the Jan. 6 rioters is 45 days. An additional 18 rioters have been sentenced to periods of home detention, while most sentences have included fines, community service and probation for low-level offenses like illegally parading or demonstrating in the Capitol, which is a misdemeanor. https://time.com/6133336/jan-6-capitol-riot-arrests-sentences/
benalvino3: isn't the word Tranny akin to the word nigger?
Shoot me.
benalvino3: Wrong, Gender plays a part in the military, especially the sanity of the individual. and we all know Biden's nomination is based on "Oh look at me, I am diverse" and not based on the qualification and performance of the individuals. does Afghan withdrawal ring a bell?
How? Is a dik required to shoot a gun? And how wouldn't politician Biden's nomination be based on "Oh look at me...", and competence, of course? Is "Oh look at me", not politics?
sonmvayina: He will teach the entire earth to revere only the creator ( Not necessary Judaism). This has not happen, so the jews are still waiting..
This is very not true. The stories we read about Jesus specifically teach “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
The bolded 'your' means your God, whichever it may be. You hinted on this understanding with "Not necessary Judaism", so it does not matter that some wait since many have not yet received a book, and some not even abc.
feedthenation: Vladmir Putin: A woman is a Woman, A man is a Man
About 1:26 into the video Putin does not agree with having men into women sports and that Russian should not give in to "cancel culture" by allowing it.
Compared to the current US administration culture of accepting ideologies promoting alternatives
I don't agree with trannys in womens sport and think its going to be resolved in time, but I see nothing wrong with Bidens nomination since gender has no effect on this job.
