The world is now in the era of conspiracy theory. With all the lies, noise, phobia and conspiracy theories making waves on the internet. 5G has come to stay. I can personally say all these are unfounded lies as I am using a 5G network on my 5G enabled phone as you can see on the screenshot attached. It feels no difference from using any other phone except for the speed. #Stop Conspiracy Theory #Stop 5G lies

ODJ124:You are wrong. Aircraft was invented by the US. Helicopter is also an aircraft invented by the US not Russia. Russia invented nothing that flies not even a toy drone. Of course they copied every US invention. AK47 is just one of many varieties of guns. Gun was not invented by Russia. You sound like saying Russia reinvented the wheel. The wheel has alway been in existence. Ebola vaccine was invented in the US not Russia Russia has got nothing to offer the world since the beginning of time |
ositadima1:Tell me one Na? What Russian invention are you using making your lif easier? AK47? After all AK47 is a gun and Russia didn’t invent gun I look all around me, I don’t see any Russian invention |
ernieboy:What ground breaking achievements has Russian given mankind? That we are enjoying today. |
Roon9:Why can’t you tell your Buhari government to produce one for free? |
ODJ124:What new invention has Russia contributed to the world? Nothing! You can’t even name one. Only stealing stealing and copy copy! |
cococandy:It’s not your mama that will require a dna test. It is they that will. Did you undergo clinical processing your immigration visa? If yes, why do you think they didn’t test for your dna. They don’t have to collect your blood before your dna can be tested for. Anything from you body will do. Also if your mother is already in the US. They already have her dna sample unless she never visited an hospital ever over there. |
doitforyou:They do dna for immigration visa to clamp down on immigration fraud if you are filing for your children or parents. Just to prove you are the biological parent and not some human trafficker. Everything is done by them during the clinical. This is different from non immigration visa (visit). |
Iran the greatest own goal scorer. The like the world has never seen before. (In Trump’s voice) |
Weedsmoker:You forgot to add, “Iran the greatest ever own goal scorer. The like the world has never seen before ”. |

If so. That means Nigeria’s reputation has been bastardized internationally |
Iranians are waking up. They are like our leaders have deceived us too long making us believe our friends are our enemies. Whereas they are the one. |
Neroiam:. According to the account I gave above, several early Christians traditions served as a pointer to why the church agreed to choose the said date. However, there’s no date in history not link to something else somewhere. If you say something is popularly believed that.... well I’m not part of the so called popular belief and billions of people around the world are not part of it. It’s popular to you but not to everyone. From Monday the moon worship day, Thursday of the god Thur to Saturday dedicated to the god Saturn and Sunday for the sun worship. Because these days were special pegan days for some people doesn’t mean anything since you are not part of them. After all, why should we worship God on the day some pagans worship their sun god and even go as far as naming the day after their sun god. Not Godday but Sunday. ![]() Can you see the hypocrisy when we only choose what we want to believe and not. I have given you different reasons why 25 December could have been chosen. However, will you decide not to worship God on Sunday because of course it’s a day of pagan worship of the god of sun? Of course no because that’s non of your business since you don’t take part in sun worship anyway. Nevertheless, individual is free to follow their own conviction. No day according to the Bible is clean. All days are full of evil. No exception. |
Neroiam:The Date of Christmas No one knows the real birthday of Jesus! No date is given in the Bible, so why do we celebrate it on the 25th December? The early Christians certainly had many arguments as to when it should be celebrated! Also, the birth of Jesus probably didn't happen in the year 1 but slightly earlier, somewhere between 2 BCE/BC and 7 BCE/BC, possibly in 4 BCE/BC (there isn't a 0 - the years go from 1 BC/BCE to 1!). Calendar showing 25th December The first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was in 336, during the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine (he was the first Christian Roman Emperor). But it was not an official Roman state festival at this time. However, there are many different traditions and theories as to why Christmas is celebrated on December 25th. A very early Christian tradition said that the day when Mary was told that she would have a very special baby, Jesus (called the Annunciation) was on March 25th - and it's still celebrated today on the 25th March. Nine months after the 25th March is the 25th December! March 25th was also the day some early Christians thought the world had been made, and also the day that Jesus died on when he was an adult. The date of March 25th was chosen because people had calculated that was the day on which Jesus died as an adult (Nisan 14 in the Jewish calendar) and they thought that Jesus was conceived and had died on the same day of the year. Because of the date, some people say that the Christians 'took over' December 25th from these Roman festivals. However, there are records going back to around 200 of early Christians connecting the Nisan 14 to the 25th March, and so 25th December was a 'Christian' festival date many years before 'Sol Invictus'! (More recent studies have also found that the 'Sol Invictus' connection didn't appear until the 12th century and it's from one scribbled note in the margins of a manuscript. There's also evidence that 'Sol Invictus' might also have happened in October and not December anyway!) Christmas had also been celebrated by the early Church on January 6th, when they also celebrated the Epiphany (which means the revelation that Jesus was God's son) and the Baptism of Jesus. (Like the December 25th date above, this was based on a calculation of Jesus's death/conception but from the 6th April not the 25th March.) Now Epiphany mainly celebrates the visit of the Wise Men to the baby Jesus, but back then it celebrated both things! Jesus's Baptism was originally seen as more important than his birth, as this was when he started his ministry. The Jewish festival of Lights, Hanukkah starts on the eve of the Kislev 25 (the month in the Jewish calendar that occurs at about the same time as December). Hanukkah celebrates when the Jewish people were able to re-dedicate and worship in their Temple, in Jerusalem, again following many years of not being allowed to practice their religion. Jesus was a Jew, so this could be another reason that helped the early Church choose December the 25th for the date of Christmas! So when was Jesus Born? There's a strong and practical reason why Jesus might not have been born in the winter, but in the spring or the autumn! It can get very cold in the winter and it's unlikely that the shepherds would have been keeping sheep out on the hills (as those hills can get quite a lot of snow sometimes!). During the spring (in March or April) there's a Jewish festival called 'Passover'. This festival remembers when the Jews had escaped from slavery in Egypt about 1500 years before Jesus was born. Lots of lambs would have been needed during the Passover Festival, to be sacrificed in the Temple in Jerusalem. Jews from all over the Roman Empire traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival, so it would have been a good time for the Romans to take a census. Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem for the census (Bethlehem is about six miles from Jerusalem). |
