Wake up Arabs are not a tolerant people just like their spirituality We're talking about geopolitics and value alignment, this one is talking about tolerance. Ok let's talk about tolerance - caucasians tolerate you because they literally control you, your media, your resources, your mind, your leadership class and your life!

Oh he's ready to meet Putin now? Putin is ready to meet him too, but in Moscow. He probably realised that the 90 Billion euros he's set to receive from his allies will be the last because allies are broke too and without allies, Ukraine is a sitting duck.
He would have gotten a better deal in 2022 Istanbul Plus peace negotiation framework but Boris Johnson told him not to broker a deal and fight on instead. Whenever he's ready for peace, he knows the peace conditions and he knows his way to Moscow. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Scientists Confirm Biblical Earthquake At The Moment Of Jesus' Crucifixion by CaseSensitive(m): 11:24pm On Feb 27 |
The article shows that a small earthquake likely occurred between 26-36AD. That's a 10 years dating window. Even the researchers themselves were cautious, they didn't outrightly confirm that the earthquake is a biblical event. Also the area is a highly active fault system, so earthquake records in sediments there are entirely normal. Multiple earthquakes are recorded in the region long before the time of Jesus. |

SIRTee15: where does subsahara start, is eritrea, ethiopia, sudan and south sudan subsahara africa or not. u are the one conflating the identity of subsahara africa to push your agenda. u cannot be shifting the geographical location of subsahara africa as u like. it has a specific defintion and a fixed location. so is eritrea, ethiopia, sudan and south sudan part of subsahara africa or not.
my friend, culture is dynamic, its never static. every culture is infuenced by imported traditions. The word Yoruba itself was imported, we never called ourself Yoruba to begin with, it was given to us. I never said Tertullian or Athanasius influenced ancient Yoruba mythology, I pointed out the influence of africans on christianity because your earlier argument was that christianity was alien to africa. Now that u have swallowed your vomit and admitted xtianity isn't alien to ancient africa, no need repeating that argument or referencing them.
exception These were prominent men in their kingdom, how do u even think xtianity spread. seriously, have u actually taken time to study ancient theology and how they spread? It takes just the king to announce a faith the national religion and everyone falls in line. That's how it is in the kingdoms mentioned in the bible and how it is in real world. In the bible, the king calls the nation to repentance and people obey. Emperor Constantine in one edict announced xtianity the official roman empire religion and the rest is history. Or u think an english man was one of Jesus disciples or Jesus appeared to the ancient ethiopian kingdom and told them to convert. No sir Romans brought xtianity to England and a Phoenician brought xtianity to ethiopia. The king of aksum liked it, he converted and made the faith the national religion.
Without colonisation, these 2 religions would have made serious inroads into Yorubaland due to its adoption by prominent leaders and its just a matter of time they would replace the local ones. Already Oba Momodu Lamuye of Iwo already made Islam the official religion in the land as far back as 1820.
People adapt whatever belief to their cultural identity. xtianity isn't monlithic in Nigeria, white garment church felt very indigenous while Pentecostal felt very elitist. missionaries took the religion to Japan not colonialist and was very popular amongst the peasant due to the message of salvation. colonial pressure only hastened what would have been an eventual dominant force if nature was allowed to take it course.
it shows u cant separate subsahara africa based on some nonsense skin colour or recent geographical location. I didnt bring it up to prove xtianity instead to show u the artificial boundary attributed to present nations has no relevance to ancient migration. anthropologist will argue bantu people migrated from cameroon and Nigeria to east, central and west africa all the way to senegal and Tanzania, then stopped. so why did they stop? why didnt the bantu continue their migration to somalia, sudan, Mali, Morocco, Mauritania, Ethiopia, algeria.
They argued afrosiatic group re-migrated back to africa and spread throughout the north and eastern africa then stopped. so what happened to kenya, Tanzania, uganda, chad and central africa republic. what prevented these afroasiatic group from entering kenya and populating it?
If the berbers could occupy the hot sahara region of algeria, niger, mali. what prevented them from moving southwards and populating the lesser hot region of norther nigeria, upper volta, senegal, gambia sierra leone and ivory coast. They could live in the desert region of sahara for thousand of years but couldnt survive in savanah part of west africa.
anthropologist even claim bantu migrated all the way down to angola, zambia, namibia then stopped, they claim bantu didnt enter south africa. Like what stopped the migration at the south african border. oyinbo and manipulative lies are like 5&6.
There's nothing to indicate african region is monolithic in anyway. so u cannot tell me my ancient ancestors didn't worship Jesus before me. u dont have any evidence for that.
This is just a blind argument. xtianity was introduced to England by roman colonialist just like it was introduced here. it evolved and adapted overtime. Are we going to be having this same argument in 1000 years time that xtianity is an alien import to Nigeria?
western world tried atheism and secular liberal laws for just 50 years. The result is moral decadence and societal degeneration. collapse of identity- both national and self, breakdown of societal and family values, explosion of debauchery and rising case of mental illness. If above is the fruits of atheism, thank u but I dont want to be a part of.
western world tried xtianity for 1000 years, and rose to become the most powerful and influential civilisation ever known in history. The explosion as crazy and unimaginable. The rest of the world saw them as demi gods. They were accelerating at a unprecedent rate until pride got into them, decided they wanted to continue the journey alone and kicked God out of their society.
Now they are so ordinary and their society becoming unappealing that even their own natives are now jumping and abandoning the sinking ship. In 2026, the only continent the white man can bully and get away with is maybe Africa. europe has lost its identity and a false god is gradually raising its head in their midst. what a pity for a race that rejected the One True God.
very funny, u think God's plan is dependent on action of people. read the bible and be educated. God blessed Israel because their forefather was the first person to understand that God hates polytheism and wanted to be worshipped without any partner. when they messed up, they were duly punished and scattered. nobody is special in the sight of God, we are so inconsequential in his overall plan. People can stop worshipping God for another 5,000 years and it changes nothing. when we are ready to follow his command, he will hearken to us again and show us his mighty hand. WE ARE THE ONES THAT NEED GOD, HE DOESN'T NEED US. GET THAT CLEAR.
UNIVERSE ITSELF DOESNT NEED US, U THINK IF EARTH GOES INTO EXTINCTION TODAY, U THINK UNIVERSE WILL NOTICE OR CARE? The universe will continue to exist without planet earth for billions of years and nothing will happen. Now imagine your relevance to God who is bigger and mightier than the universe. That's how irrelevant and inconsequential man is. It's that self-consciousness u have that's giving u grandiose delusions, giving u ideas u are important.
debunked thoroughly. u can continue to believe in your lies if it makes u sleep well. ok since u have been living abroad for donkey years, and has followed the white man to godlessness.... now that they are retracing their steps back and embracing Islam, when are u joining your fellow whites to say the shahada when are u copying the whites and say your own shahada.
and I will advise u take a look at books on old ancient africa and read, it will expand your closeminded ignorant mind. Your intellectual depth on ancient africa is very shallow for someone who claimed to have lived abroad for donkey years. Most africans embrace afrocentrism when they live abroad not reject it.
start with Precolonial black africa by cheikh Anta diop
just to wet your appetite- do u know Efusetan Aniwura exported cosmetics to america, the biggest source of her wealth? do u know the ancient benin kingdom currency was an acceptable mode of payment in the kingdom of Morocco? do u know Yoruba had their own writing system before Crowther intoduced the latinised alphabets do u know west african biggest export to europe from 15-17th century was textile and soaps
So just dont sit there and assume your ancestors were dumb, couldn't think for themselves and were just accepting anything thrown at them. That's an eurocentric bias to make them look weak. Whether Ethiopia is Sub-Saharan or not is irrelevant to the core issue. Christianity existing in Aksum does not mean it existed in Yorubaland. I don't know how that is difficult to grasp. That’s like saying because Buddhism existed in India, the Aztecs must have been closet Buddhists. Proximity is not proof. Continent is not transmission. You’re inflating Africa into this mystical spiritual blob where theology teleports across deserts without trade routes, missionaries, inscriptions, churches, manuscripts, or archaeological evidence. Show one pre-19th-century Yoruba Christian liturgy. One church ruin. One manuscript. One cross inscription. Or at least one contemporary account. Then you swing to Constantine as if the guy pressed a heavenly “Apply to All Regions” button. Constantine didn’t convert an empire overnight; he legalized a religion that had already spread through Roman networks. Institutional backing accelerates religion. That’s precisely what happened in colonial Nigeria. You can’t use state power to explain Rome and then pretend state power is irrelevant in West Africa. Your migration spiral is intellectual smoke. Bantu routes, Berbers in the Sahara, Afroasiatic dispersals, fascinating anthropology but that's about it, absolutely zero proof of a first-century Levantine theology embedded in Yoruba cosmology. Population movement does not equal doctrinal transmission. If it did, we’d have archaeological trails of it. We don’t. And the “West declined because atheism” sermon? Europe’s rise correlates with industrialisation, science, colonial extraction, and capital accumulation, not some divine mood swings. If moral decay proves atheism fails, then crusades and inquisitions prove Christianity failed centuries ago. You're struggling to pick a consistent metric, your argument has been ridiculously inconsistent then you throw absolutely irrelevant nonsense into the mix. You keep accusing me of insulting ancestors. I didn’t. Precolonial West Africa had trade networks, metallurgy, currency systems, textile exports. None of that manufactures indigenous Christianity out of thin air. Civilisation doesn't equal to prior exposure to Jesus. If you actually read, I earlier mentioned that I don't subscribe to either universalist religion which is Christianity and Islam but of course you're just itching to gag out diarrhoea. And of course, the hint flew way over you when I said "Africa is my holy land" but it's me that's discarding afrocentrism? Funny, no? I'm tolerant of other people's religion, for context, refer to my initial post that you unfortunately quoted. Your God is the God of Israel, good for you. The age old religion and way of life of my ancestors is what I proudly and fiercely uphold, Isese is where I found my God (Much for someone who discarded afrocentrism eh?). That's godlessness to you but hey, not my circus, not my monkeys. Funny how you brought up my ‘donkey years abroad’ when it was you who volunteered to tell everyone you’ve been living abroad for over ten years. I didn’t need to invent that detail to prove a point, but of course you deemed it important, otherwise your arguments that are collapsing into a loop of projection, redirection, and historical cherry-picking wouldn't have made any sense to yourself. There are chairs for you at the back, a lot of them, pick one and sit your backside there. |

SIRTee15: It's obvious u drinking the white man's racist cool aid with your weak attempt to divide Africa based on skin colour.
When the white man say Africa didn't have a writing system or produce the wheel and we point them to Egypt; they argue Egypt isn't an african civilisation. Then we point out Ethiopia and Eritrea, they argue Ethiopia is not fully subsahara. Then we point them to Timbuktu, they argue it was an Islamic civilisation built by Berbers and has nothing to do with subsahara Africa.
Your first post mentioned Christianity is alien to Africa. Now that u were called out u switched it to subsahara Africa. So tell me, is Ethiopia, Eritrea and south Sudan no longer part of subsahara Africa anymore?
U people keep shifting the goalpost to suit your propagandized agenda. An agenda that makes no logical sense. The bible in Ethiopia, is it different from the one the white man brought to Lagos. The Jesus they worshipped in Eritrea since the 5th century, is it different from the one Bishop Ajayi Crowther brought to Badagry. If it's the same, then u guys have nothing to stand on and the idea that Jesus is alien to Africa is foolishness.
FYI, the ancient Ethiopians had darker skin tone than most Nigerians. They were so black skin that the ancient Greeks call them Aethiopia meaning burnt face. That's how black they look.
Then u said I as a Nigerian don't have any link to North Africa. Who are the original North Africans? Who are the indigenous North Africans? You think it's the present arabs living there now?
If I may ask u, do the Nigerian Fulanis have any link with the original North Africans?
There was no fixed ethnic group in the north and west African region for thousands of years, it was a constant migratory pattern until around 1000AD.
These regions have always been multi-ethnic crossroads between Sahara and sub-Saharan Africa. Climate change (especially desert expansion), trade routes, and empires constantly reshaped who lived where. So instead of one “original” people, there were layers of ancient populations, until maybe 11th century.
The idea that one specific ethnic group have always occupied same area in subsahara Africa is an Eurocentric attempt to disconnect your root from ancient northern Africa ethnicity.
The Sungbo’s Eredo is evidence of such migratory ancient civilization. The massive system of walls and ditches built in Ijebu ode span 160km of walls and trenches. It forms an enormous enclosed area, larger than many ancient cities. UNESCO announced it's the largest earth excavation work and the longest wall ever built in history
The local inhabitants in Ijebu Ode cannot explain who built the wall. There's no oral tradition telling us the local community built it. The only oral history we have is that a wealthy lady from Nubia region migrated to the area and built it. That should tell u something about ancient migration.
Fulanis are the most recent migrant from northern Africa to the deep south. That's why they retain many of the phenotypic features of northern Africans. They followed a repeated wave of southward migratory pattern that had existed for centuries.
Finally, u ignorantly claimed we are Christians because of colonisation. Very ridiculous. UK colonised Egypt and India, why are they not Christians. France colonised Senegal, Mali, Niger and guinea, why are not Christians.
U people have a lot of work to do in understanding cultural dynamics and how it influence society. Islam was already rampant in Yorubaland in the 19th century. Basorun Latoosa, the great Ibadan warload of the popular kiriji war died a Muslim. Efusetan Aniwura the 2nd iyalode of Ibadan was a Christian and a strong member of the local church in 1850s. Balogun okenla who led the egbas against the Dahomey on the 1850s was a Christian. Oba Akintoye and Dosunmu embraced Christianity in the mid 19th century during their reign as monarch in Lagos while Oba Kosoko embraced Islam. None of them denied their heritage as traditional Yorubas.
All these prominent figures embraced foreign religions without any nonsense colonisation and still played powerful role in their respective communities. Colonisation or not, people will embrace what makes sense and sounds appealing. The truth is always clear from falsehood. It has nothing to do with culture.
China had been in contact with the Philippines for thousands of years but couldn't establish Buddhism, American missionaries arrived in the 19th century and within 50 years the nation became Christian.
The only way Japan could stop Christianity in the 15th and 16th century was to start persecuting and executing Japanese who converted to Christianity. Otherwise Japan would have become a Christian nation within 100 years. It was spreading like wild fire.
Over 60,000 Christians were killed by the emperors after passing the anti christian edict in 1587. 12,000 were killed in a single day in shimbara peninsula after Christian peasant rebelled against the heavy taxation against them.
U guys knows nothing about the power of the gospel and the conviction of the truth. The message of a universal God and his redemption plan sounds appealing anywhere.
It's just the docility of present Christians especially in western world and commercialization of the faith in some regions that gave people like u mouth to talk.
I have been abroad now for over 10 years, if Christianity doesn't seem right, I would have abandoned it long time ago. Don't worry, a wave of revival is coming soon.
Atheism makes no sense, it promotes immorality as the norm, gives no guidance and denies the reality. That's why it's dying out even in western world as people begin to seek the truth again. Oh I see, now we’re suddenly defending “all of Africa is one unbroken Christian cradle” while ignoring facts. Let me break it down for you. Ethiopia, Eritrea, Nubia? Fine, they were Christian. Congrats. Does that mean Sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria, had organic Christianity before European missions. Absolutely not. Aksum isn’t Lagos, Makuria isn’t Ibadan. You’re conflating geography with theology to push your agenda. Skin color doesn’t equal culture. Just because Ethiopians were black and ancient doesn’t mean their Christianity had any cultural alignment with Yoruba cosmologies. Your Athanasius and Tertullian argument is irrelevant to the daily life of a 19th-century Yoruba peasant or monarch, they had zero influence on them. Then you went on about voluntary adoption. You’re romanticizing a few converts while ignoring that the widespread spread in Nigeria relied heavily on colonial structures and missionary schools, which replaced indigenous institutions. Efusetan Aniwura, Oba Akintoye, Balogun Okenla etc…sure, exceptions prove the rule, but they don’t erase structural facts or do they? I actually like your analogy of China, Japan, Philippines comparison but you miss that cultural, political, and economic incentives were massively different. Christianity spread in Nigeria under colonial pressure and institutional incentives. Was it a spontaneous cultural resonance like in Ethiopia? No Migration myths and Sungbo’s Eredo? interesting archaeology, yes. But again I will reiterate that walls and migration patterns don’t prove Christianity was native to Nigeria. They only prove that we as Africans had complex societies. With your “universal God” argument, theological appeal doesn’t change history. A message can be appealing everywhere, it doesn’t make it indigenous. The Orthodox Church in Ethiopia is indigenous because it evolved internally for more than 1600 years or so. Nigerian Christianity? Imported, adapted, and Africanized afterward. Big difference. UK colonised Egypt and India, why are they not Christians? I'll lecture you. Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism etc were centuries old, highly structured belief systems with scriptures, priesthoods, and social institutions. It was hard for the British government to overwrite a civilisation thousands of years old, the Indians actually rebelled. But it was obviously easy for them in Southern Nigeria because of the decentralised nature of traditional religions. In Egypt, Christianity wasn't new to them even though majority of them are muslims, so the British didn't feel the need to convert them. In Senegal, Mali, Niger and Guinea, Burkina etc France’s colonial model was more political and cultural than aggressively missionary-driven. They promoted French language and administrative systems more than forced religious conversion unlike the British. The British ruled Northern Nigeria indirectly through existing Muslim emirates and deliberately avoided missionary disruption there. As a result of that the north remained overwhelmingly Muslim. If Britain had imposed Christianity by force, northern Nigeria would look very different today, but they did that almost deliberately. Make the South Christians, keep the North Muslims, then religion turns political, typical British divide and rule tactics, and you wonder why we have the problems we have in Nigeria today? Atheism makes no sense? To you maybe. I guess an atheist can say exactly the same thing about religion and I never for once actually mentioned anything about atheism, never said or insinuated I’m an atheist. I’m certainly not one, but in support of the atheists and in counter to your claim that atheism promotes immorality , gives no guidance and denies reality, - if your moral compass collapses in absence of this your “Universal God” then that say more about you and your ethics than that of atheists. If Christianity is docile in the Western world (who supposedly should be the torchbearer and custodian of the religion, given they forced it down your throat in the first place) while Christianity back in Nigeria is ridiculously fragmented and commercialised to the extent that every half brain Chinedu and Damilola with a bible and half a plot of land or a makeshift "church", can become a “pastor”, I guess that says it all. Bottom line: Christianity in Nigeria was not organically African before colonial-era influence and that’s my point. Stop trying to use Ethiopia’s unique historical case to erase the structural realities in Africa, especially West Africa. The facts don’t care about your sentimental defense or your ten years abroad - a statement that has no bearing on, or relevance to the subject matter. I’ve been (still) living abroad before you probably had an international passport. |

5 African kingdoms in subsahara Africa embraced Christianity as a national religion before any European nation became Christian.
They compiled their own bible in their native language and worshipped Jesus there own way.
Kingdom of Aksum, Alodia, Nobatia and Makuria, all become Christian nation in the 4th century. Christianity arrived England in the 6th century. The whole of Nubia, present day Sudan, South Sudan, part of Tanzania and Southern Egypt were all Christians as far back as 4th century. The kingdom of Kongo embraced Christianity in the 15th century as a national religion.
The concept of Trinity came from African church fathers like Athanasius and Tertullian. Athanasius played a big role in the compilation of the new testament books we have today.
Over 30 African bishops were present at the nicene creed in 325AD where the core church belief was ratified and made a creed.
Every nation was pagan at one point in history, that doesn't mean they should continue such practice because culture is dynamic. Hey, I certainly know what I'm talking about. Christianity had ancient roots in parts of Northeast Africa, but for most of Sub-Saharan Africa including Nigeria of course it spread through colonial and missionary expansion. Your ancestors weren't "Christians" when your fathers Athanasius and Tertullian etc were ratifying church belief. You as a sub Saharan African do not have any cultural alignment with any North African. So yes, Christianity is alien to most African traditional cosmologies. And no, Nubia did not become Christians in the 4th century, neither did any part of Tanzania became Christians in the period you claimed. Even Ethiopia that adopted Christianity earlier don't practice Christianity the way you guys practice it in Nigeria. You don't even read the same Bible as them. Their Christianity is intertwined with national identity but Christianity in Nigeria displaced indigenous cosmologies just as the Europeans wanted it. If Nigeria was colonised by the Chinese, you'll swear your life by Buddhism and you most certainly won't be a Christian today. So don't come at me with that supreme custodian attitude. The "God of Israel" that you serve was forced on you over generations. It was never yours. |

jesusjnr2020: "I Agree With The Teachings Of Jesus" World's Richest Man Elon Musk Says
World's Richest Man and leading scientist and technological innovator, Elon Musk, has continued to proudly and publicly ldentify with Christ and those of the Christian faith.
This time he posted on the X, "I agree with the teachings of Jesus"
I sincerely hope though he means what he says and isn't just saying it for saying sake, but also walking the talk.
However saying it alone openly and unashamedly, in a world that hates, rejects and doesn't want anything to do with the name of Jesus, is a right step in the right direction.
God bless. I suppose you can agree with the teachings of Jesus, objectively without being a Christian, then again, Christianity is for people like them. It's their religion (Europeans). That doesn't change the fact that Christianity, including the other Abrahamic religion are alien to Africa. I don't want to know the Jesus Christ of Nazareth because I'm not from Nazareth, I'm not from that region. Jerusalem or Mecca is not my holy land. Africa is. |

Your first sentence was totally needless and you aren't talking to an uneducated or semi-literate person here. I grew up reading massive volumes of encyclopedia in my family home library from several decades ago (over 5 decades ago) and I know full well the meaning of "NATIVE."
You made some valid points in your first post and even this post that I'm responding to and I merely chipped in some historical FACTS or insights about the Scandinavian relationship with the British Isle to make the subject matter wider. Period. I mean I appreciate the historical context you threw on it, no doubt the Viking connections are fascinating. But when we talk about a ‘native’ language, we mean mother tongue. I’m sure your decades of encyclopedias would agree that facts and definitions matter as much as historical anecdotes. |

You guys will just wake up from wherever you are and start telling stories as if you are talking to some village rats in one hole  But "some village rats in one hole" doesn't know that Norwegian and Finnish people speak Norwegian and Finnish language natively, they don't speak English as their mother tongue. They learn English as a 2nd language in school or EC classes. It's similar to how English is widely spoken in Nigeria but English is not native language in Nigeria. Native language = Mother tongue.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Most Spoken Native Languages In Europe (Photos) by CaseSensitive(m): 9:41pm On Feb 20 |
AlphaTaikun: The Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and even the Netherlands on Continent Europe speak very fluent English.
The Scandinavians have ancestral ties with several parts of the United Kingdom haven carried out several raids on villages for plunder and settled as Danish and/or Norwegian Vikings on the British Isles many centuries back and they fathered children who had blonde hairs like them. So, this ancestral link definitely spurred the Scandinavians to learn to speak fluent English in their homelands as well as their individual or native languages. This is why reading and comprehension is an underrated skill. Modern Scandinavians speak English fluently mainly because it’s taught from a young age in schools and widely used in media, not due to ancestry from the British Isles. Distinction here is "NATIVE". Scandinavians/Nordic don't speak English natively. They speak Danish, Swedish, Finnish or Norwegian or Icelandic. |

Helinuss: Get a life bro. US is a working system. They dont get distracted on sensitive cases unlike nigeria
So because he took picture with epstein, trump should not work again. They guy already delivered more that 95 percent of his electoral promises. Face your president here in nigeria and stop crying on top trump Delivered on 95% of his electoral promises? Says who? What data? Which source? Electoral promises such as "Not starting another war in the Middle East? This isn’t about his electoral promises or some imagined ‘working system.’ It’s about optics, timing matters and that timing doesn't care about your fan club. Dropping UFO files while Epstein documents are making waves is textbook distraction politics. Cool lecture on Nigeria but last time I checked, I've not been there in over a decade - and I have a life. Do you?.......Bro? |

Cyberterror: Just to divert the attention of Americans that he is about to go to war against Iran without the mandatory congressional approval. Another angle. Even the UK refused them access to the Chagos Island to be used as a potential launch pad against Iran because Starmer is now claiming it's against international laws, but in this current geopolitical shift, international laws seems to mean nothing. |
