I take God beg u, if u are ignorant about a topic be quiet rather than spreading falsehood.

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.

"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.

Learn to make your points without sounding cocky or making knee-jerk responses to people's posts without comprehending what is being ORIGINALLY conveyed! 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.

franchasng:
What the blab are you are talking about?


I spoke only English when I visited Norway and most of them heard me. Same with Finland. Even Poland though I didn't go there but a friend there spoke only English until he learned Polish.



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. English Comprehension 101.

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.

I am suspecting that this Russian propagandist is working in hand with Seun the Nland owner.



Imagine saying Russian dialect spoken more than English, French and Spanish languages

This is how some people think their brain is firing on full cylinders then fail big in small WAEC. In continental Europe, no one natively speaks English outside of UK, Ireland, Gibraltar, Isle of Man and maybe only a small minority in Malta. That's around 70 to 75 million.

Russian is natively spoken in Russia, East of Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova. That's more than 130 million in Europe alone. No other language comes close, but colonisation making some Africans feel like English is God's language.

Nwaikpe:
I wonder why you are concerned about taht when even food, you neva see chop.

Isn't it amazing that you're projecting your own reality? I eat whatever I want, whenever I want. Ask nicely for some crumbs or bounce.

The world knew it was illegal. But Trump can trump any order, can't he? Americans probably finally found out that they are the ones paying for these tariff hikes.

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?

udemzyudex:
I really don't understand your point, didn't he say he will release the files during campaign?

My point is timing! timing!! timing!!! Use your head.

E no hard to follow ABC news,Trump etc for social media boss

You get your own updates from ABC News and Trump? Sit your bum down my friend

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.

Anything to divert attention from the Epstein file. Anything

SisterAnn:
You are one of the people that have kept this nation spiraling downward!

One step forward and ten steps backwards!

What's wrong with controlling population?.

Is population not meant to be controlled?

Is it not true that our borders are porous and every tom dick and Harry go and come in with whatever it is they are carrying without any hindrance?

Is that not why till date, nobody has been identified and prosecuted as a sponsor for terrorists?

Is that not why the proliferation of arms cannot be controlled or checked?

Is that not why so many Niger republic citizens can disguise as Nigerians and enrol in the army and other institutions and only their collaborators are wiser because there's no reliable data base?

Is that not what make terrorists swing from Nigeria to Niger republic seamlessly without hindrance?

Is that not why our custom and immigration services are inept and very corrupt?

If they meant to use the deal to secure oil deals, What is wrong in trade by bater?

You should have just kept quiet instead of blabbing on my mention.

You’re shifting the argument. Border control and national security are legitimate issues, nobody disputes that. What’s being questioned is who controls the control, for what purpose, and at whose expense?

There’s a massive difference between a sovereign nation strengthening its own systems transparently and foreign actors with intelligence backgrounds and a convicted sex offender leveraging a terror crisis to push surveillance tech and angle for oil access.

‘What’s wrong with controlling population?’ is exactly the problem. Population control by whom? Accountable to whom? Under what oversight? History is full of regimes that justified intrusive surveillance and repression in the name of security.

If this was purely about helping Nigeria, why the backchannel emails, the private facilitation, the oil leverage, and the rush around contracts? But people like you see it as charity. No?

You can support stronger borders without pretending that profiteering off insurgency and embedding foreign surveillance architecture is some patriotic act.

Security is necessary. Exploitation disguised as security is not.

I like how you conveniently leave out the fall of Libya which resulted in this proliferation of arm in the Sahel that you talk about. These people belong to the same cult of elite that engineered the destabilisation of Libya in the first place thus paving the express way for arms and their funded Islamist extremist but yh, good morning whenever you wake up.

SisterAnn:
Nothing wrong with the moves of both Ehud and Epstein here.

They were techy businessmen who sought to bring their technical expertise to support Nigeria in the fight against terrorism and get paid for the job.

But Reps at the assembly at that time shut it down because of politics ably financed by APC Tinubu to cripple every effort by Jonathan to set Nigeria free because they were preparing to be president in 2023.

Such an evil minded selfish political tragedyist!

Framing Epstein and Barak as just ‘techy businessmen helping Nigeria,’ is peak buffoonery. These were people leveraging a deadly insurgency and Nigeria’s insecurity for private profit, selling surveillance tech used for population control, and using political influence as a smokescreen to access oil and resources.

The kind of mindset that frames this as ‘supporting Nigeria’ while blaming politics for halting it is the type of mindset that is keeping Nigerians nowadays colonised and defeated. It was never about helping Nigerians, it was about monetising chaos and exploiting a nation under the guise of counter-terrorism.

Really?
Hope when Putin comes back to recoup, we won't hear cries? hope when Putin requires them to do something that does not have African interest, and they refuse, they would be able to face the consequences?
remember Putin's killer chemical can be unleashed anytime..😊

Russia has ALWAYS treated African nations as allies. Russia has no imperialistic interest in Africa. Read sometimes.

JuanDeDios:
Ok. We pray it'll be easy to liberate them from Russia when the time comes.

What's this one yapping about? Has Russia colonised your ancestors in the past? Stole your land? Stole your resources? When USA is done with Nigeria, you will PRAY for Russia to come.

In actual fact, Nigeria has been talking to Russia codedly, and USA found out. America has you by the ball. Wake Up!

Congrats to them. These are Africans that really wants liberation

This snake poses no danger to human

Sirleo05:
What America is doing with Canada and Greenland, trying to make them part of them is what they are stopping China from doing to Taiwan and Russia to Ukraine. Is America under Trump not hypocrite?

China can legitimately claim Taiwan because China lost Taiwan in a war. Taiwan has always been part of China. Similarly with Russia and Ukraine's relationship - they share similar ancestry. In fact, Russia didn't have the intention of taking Ukraine until USA started dangling NATO membership in front of Ukraine and Russia sees that as a red line and a fatal national security issue and took necessary action.

Canada and Greenland have never been part of America. What America is doing with Canada and Greenland is purely land and resource grabbing with no legitimate claim.

Kaliningrad:
A war between Canada & US, who wins?

👍🏻 Like for Canada, share for USA

A war between Canada and America is not even debatable. Canada doesn't stand a chance in hell and the war will end quickly with Canada roasted, but that's not the point. USA is the chief destabiliser of world peace. Research every unrest around the world and you will find the fingerprint of USA on it, either overtly or covertly. They will soon go after Brazil too at some point, Cuba is also in their sight.

They're still trying to wrap up their proxy war against Russia, they're currently building up against Iran, they'll take Greenland somehow - either by force or negotiation, they will be in Nigeria for a long long time, their fingerprint is all over rebels actions in Dr Congo, they're looking to encroach on Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.

All the lash out and irrational behaviours are all a sign of a dying empire trying to hang on to something to avoid a free fall.

But then again, we have a lot of deputy USA in Nigeria. Where's my popcorn and coke? Gonna be a looong movie.

America will do anything to tarnish Chinese influence in Africa. They've explicitly alluded to it in their National Security Strategy Document for 2026. America, Europe and collective West are essentially condemning China for the atrocities they themselves committed. Talk about projection.

Aston Villa small for inside life?

American apps on Chinese phones and most likely running Chinese OS . Pay attention to geopolitics - No! You're gradually finding out

Realistically not possible but my investment would be in Biren Technology equity. None of those "Top 10".

I remember renting these VCDs for free because I talked about Arsenal with the owner of the rental club - a staunch Arsenal fan who thought I was also an Arsenal fan. He didn’t realise I was more of a fair-weather Manchester United supporter at the time. Most days, I barely even cared about football. I just wanted those VCDs for free man. Good old days.
