This is ignorant. Dundee United has been synonymous with idiocy in Nigeria for a long time, far longer than 1989.

Did you know that readers are not Dundees?

Try it and see for yourself if it is untrue.

The cliche saying "Fear God" is overused at this point, don't you think? The same is said, the world over, by Christians who go about living according to how they want to as well.

What does it mean to fear God? As Jesus Christ said, it means to accept(Trust in the word of God) and obey the Teachings of God through Jesus Christ... that is what Jesus Christ said those who are His followers will do.

Jesus Christ said that the world will hate His followers, not those who call themselves Christians but do not worship Him, Jesus Christ in truth and indeed.

The cliche saying "believe" is overused at this point, don't you think? The same is said, the world over, by Christians who go about living according to how they want to as well.

What does it mean to "believe"? As Jesus Christ said, it means to understand the Teachings of God through Jesus Christ... that is what Jesus Christ taught those who are His followers will do if they want to obey Christ.

Because one can not obey that which one does not understand.

Dundee United should visit Naija again so we can see if they improved. And if they haven't improved, they can give visa to all the local Dundees so they can migrate to Scotland please.

Now hold on. I didn't go so far as to say that. He's my cousin, we are friends. I don't have any overriding problems to share with him and neither does he have problems to share with me. I share pics of my delicious plate of pounded yam with oha soup and goat meat and he shares pics of his new soundless Tesla. It is family based banter on our family WhatsApp group. In fact, he's the one that helped me ship the vehicle I'm using now, so I guess his sharing the new car suggestion has a basis in the past.

Yes. I agree with your danfo sentiment. I do that a lot myself, I prefer okada actually. I don't see the point driving all over the place when it will take up so much time. But I still am not beyond enjoying comfort on the occasions when I do take my car out.

Lol. Our money transactions together are very flexible. There is no issue there. If I do decide to buy, he won't stress a payment schedule and I won't cheat him. We are too close for that.

I'm bantering too. I'm certain the person wishes no harm, nor do I.

I'm not responsible for putting him there because I knew his antecedents as being grossly incompetent. When you mentioned wailing I realised your problem is not just not knowing what responsibility is, it runs a hell lot deeper than I thought.

If you are a Nigerian, you are responsible for Buhari being the President whether you voted for him or not.

You could have campaigned against him so he got fewer votes and not be elected, but it seems that even if you did campaign against him, you were not competent enough.

Please consider joining the Nairaland Democratic Party so that your resources can join that of others so that we can work harder together to elect the leaders that we want, because it is irresponsible to make out as if Buhari was elected by the citizens of Mars especially when it is we that suffer and not Martians!

When you become like a child, as Jesus Christ commanded of you, then you will accept(trust) and obey His teachings, just as children accept and obey their parents. Till then.... we are likely not going to see this in the same way at all. And that I am ok with that. I just hope you get to the point where you are ok with me not seeing things as you do.

And eventually, you will grow into an adult who fully understands!

That is what Paul is saying in his very complex way in the whole of 1 Corinthians, and specifically in [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians+13&version=KJV]chapter 13[/url].

One does not "abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity", out of obedience, but through understanding the immense power and reward in so doing.

Christ meant the same thing when he said "You obey 'love your neighbour', but I am now telling you to be even better and love your enemies also even after they have slapped your cheeks 7 times 70 times!"

Please know that buda is of course a disobeying hypocrite when it comes to that last instruction, but one can not deny the instruction is very clearly stated.

The unlikely story of how ‘Dundee United’ became an insult in Nigeria

The club’s name is synonymous with idiocy in Africa’s most populous nation. How on earth did this happen?

In 2010, the BBC aired a documentary called Welcome to Lagos that explored life in one of the fastest growing cities in the world. It was a three-part mini-series, surveying the changing hopes and aspirations of the city’s poorest residents, and taking viewers from houses constructed with scrap on the beach, to the people living in Olusosun rubbish dump. Shown on BBC2, the production company behind it went on to win a Bafta.

But, most importantly, episode two of the series included a look at Makoko – a community built on stilts, on top of Lagos Lagoon – where a resident called Chubbey explained that survival in the city required a certain degree of street smarts.

“Anybody who came to Lagos and he didn’t learn sense, he cannot get sense ever,” he said. “Because here if you are a fool, they will learn you how to get sense. If you are a ‘Dundee United’, when they start to pour shit on you, you will get sense.”

After that the scene cut away and the documentary continued. But for any Scottish football fan watching, the producers had missed an important story: Dundee United is used to mean “idiot” in Nigeria.

It is an upsetting thing to think about, for a United fan. This is a country of over 200 million people and they have apparently been using Dundee United as a byword for a fool for years. Why would they do this?

It doesn’t make a lot of sense, but it’s true. As Yewande, a Nigerian-Scot based in Glasgow, explains: “When I was little, living in Nigeria, it was quite common. People would say ‘you’re just a Dundee United’, or ‘don’t be a Dundee United’, and it basically means an idiot or a loser.”

But why? And how did it happen? Dundee United, unfortunately, did not respond to requests for comment on the question. The club’s silence represented an early blow to an investigation that already appeared as complicated as it was pointless. Yet a glance at the internet shows theories do exist. One, popular on online chatrooms, is that the phrase stems from the 1989 Fifa under-16 world championships.

The tournament was actually a very successful one for the Scotland under-16s team, which made it to the final before losing to Saudi Arabia on penalties. Records show Nigeria were also present, with the team knocked out by the Saudis in the quarters.

Significantly, that match was played at Dens Park. In fact the ground was home to four of Nigeria’s games, and the team also trained there. So could this be the answer? Is it possible that a contingent of mischievous Dundee fans could have played a part in the origins of the phrase? Could they have taken it upon themselves to inform a group of 15-year-old Nigerian youth players that “Dundee United” was local slang for an idiot?

RisenPhoenix1:
He doesn't want to come or to test. He just keeps giving me updates about his Tesla and trying to convince me to send him money to buy one and ship it to me. I just half heartedly wanted to find out if there's any real advantage in changing my current vehicle (which still has many miles on it), or whether I'll just be buying a big problem with the Tesla...not even a new one.

We abroad people can be silly sometimes. See as him make Tesla the solution to whatever problems he thinks might be confronting you instead of asking you what you confront. Its like offering to rent you a palace when you only need a 3 bedroom flat, as if he's prepared to pay for its maintenance.

I so love the old cars with simple combustion engines. If it breaks down on the road simple mecho can put screwdriver and I'd be on my way, instead of those new vehicles that require diagnosing with a computer that nobody has. When I enter danfo in Lagos, my people will be like "how could you", without realising the joy of abandoning danfo and walking when holdup catch them in their car that they can not abandon.

I guess time is more valuable to me than the minor discomfort of sitting next to smelly people in a danfo. Or perhaps I just understand that I might smell too.

Dude, you get sense. Tell your brother that if him like Tesla so much, you will pay him on delivery.

You are right that I cannot accept the simple teachings of Jesus Christ, which He taught, not to the educated but to a mostly uneducated bunch, mind you, as being complex.

He hasn't been to Nigeria in over a decade. He's just suffering himself as far as I'm concerned. The Oha soup with goat meat that I ate in one Calabar kitchen like that yesterday, eh. It's worth a whole year's stay in Canada as far as I'm concerned.

Lol!

Tell him from buda that before he brings Tesla to Nigeria to come and test, he should first bring himself to Nigeria to come and test if there is service stations in Nigeria at the moment for himself to survive, and if it would be convenient to import him or will he just have expensive headaches!

Those who have tried it will gladly inform him that he needs three Canadian livers to survive in Nigeria after being abroad for so long.

Kobojunkie:
I afraid I still don't follow.

As far as the teachings of Jesus Christ, Himself, is any of the statements I made wrong? If so, point it out so we can look through Jesus' teachings to find correction.

The first thing you can not accept is that the teachings of Jesus Christ are far more complex than just obeying commands that one believes.

Another thing you are failing to see is how belief actually blinds one to understanding, since to believe, one must assume one's understanding is so complete that one need not ask and seek and knock anymore to further learn. This second one is common amongst us all, which is why every time we feel like pointing to the twig in the eyes of kobojunkie, buda must mind the beam that is in the eyes of buda.

Do note that all my posts are "point it out so we can look through Jesus' teachings to find correction", but I need you to focus only on your own posts for now as I keep pointing out to you, because only after you understand you own words will you be prepared to go back to read and understand those of buda.

When you and I are prepared to learn, kobo (and believe me when I say that time will come by the Grace of God), we will look through the teachings of Christ with the Holy Spirit, and both learn.

Kobojunkie:
So by stating a FACT/TRUTH so someone who does not know it, you suppose one is arguing?

I suggest you go back through the conversation so you can better understand why correcting a misconception by stating the Truth as told us by Jesus Christ is not against the commandments of Jesus Christ Himself.

I am not involving myself in your discussion. I am simply pointing out to you how you write stuff without seeming to understand the implications of what you write so that you can correct your own misconception.

Jesus disobeyed what people claimed was the Word of God. He taught also how stupid it was to insist on obeying the supposed Word of God, and he pointed out the hypocrisy of those who claim they obey the Word of God by showing God self would expect you to disobey the Word to do God's work as in defile yourself to save the injured person on the way worship your God or your ox in a well on the Sabbath.

I guess, as I pointed out, the Word of God to some is the words in the Bible instead of the Spirit Filled Understanding of the Word. But I am certain the Holy Spirit inside of you will determine truth.

According to Jesus Christ, those who accept( trust) and obey His teachings/commandments are those who are His folllowers.

It is as simple as that!

Yet, here you are arguing with a fellow believer about who truly believes while failing to realise the detriment of not understanding Christ.

I hope you realise we are talking about the same Christ who asked if you will obey God's command not to work to save your ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath, and who condemned the priest and the Levite for obeying God's command to not defile themselves. Or do you not know that that is part of the lesson taught in the Parable of the Orangutan?

I am sorry, where did Jesus Christ teach you that if you believe in his name, you are a true believer? Have you ever actually read through any of the Gospels to learn what it means to be a true believer?

Would a "true believer" not be a person who actually understands what they claim they believe, and therefore know instead of merely believe and tremble?

Would you be a "true believer" if you believe there is no 10k in your pocket after you have checked and found no 10k in your pocket, or would you know there is no 10k in your pocket?

This is so you think. No response is required.
