Who told you? Nigeria should be done with them in less than a week, remove their leaders and install a puppet if we like.

You get time dey reply enemies of Nigeria. Because I don't like the people in power does not mean I should start siding other countries against mine.

Nigeria will finish them anyday anytime. Those guys are playing with fire

Antichristian2:
In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God. Luke 6:12

Abeg who was Jesus praying to?

And why did he have to pray throughout the night? This is unlike some Christians today that commands God as if He owes them something!

Is it that Jesus had a God he pray to and depend on?

# ✅ **1. “Who was Jesus praying to?” — Answer: The Father, because the Son became human**

Christians believe Jesus is:

* **Fully God** (John 1:1)
* **Fully Man** (Phil. 2:6–

When He took on flesh, He willingly accepted the human limitations of prayer, hunger, tiredness, etc.

**So Jesus praying does not prove He isn’t God — it proves He became man.**

Think of it this way:

📌 *God became human — not a superhero pretending to be human.*
Jesus showed us how a perfect human lives: in constant fellowship with the Father.

Even when Jesus raises Lazarus, He prays not because He needs power, but **to teach witnesses**:

**“Father, I thank you… I said it for the sake of the people standing here.”**
— *John 11:41–42*

Jesus prays **as the perfect Man**, not because He lacks divinity.

---

# ✅ **2. Why pray all night? Because prayer was His communion with the Father**

Before choosing the twelve apostles, Jesus went to pray all night (Luke 6:12).
This is because:

* He was about to choose men who would carry the gospel to the nations.
* Long prayer shows **intimacy**, not **inferiority**.

Even great prophets in Islam prayed long nights:

* Muhammad prayed **qiyam al-layl** (night vigil).
* Qur’an 73:2–4 commands Muslims to pray *“half the night or more.”*

So asking, *“Why did Jesus pray all night?”* is like asking why Muhammad prayed half the night in Surah Al-Muzzammil.

**Night prayer is a sign of spiritual greatness — not weakness.**

---

# ✅ **3. Muslims unintentionally confirm a Christian point**

If Jesus were **only** a prophet, why did He:

### **A. Have direct, constant access to God?**

Prophets in the Qur’an needed intermediaries (angels).

But Jesus?
He says:

**“I and the Father are one.”**
— *John 10:30*

Prophets don’t talk like that.

### **B. Forgive sins — which even the Qur’an reserves for God alone**

Jesus forgives sins directly:

**“Your sins are forgiven.”** — *Mark 2:5*

The Pharisees understood the implication:

**“Who can forgive sins but God alone?”* — Mark 2:7

Even the Qur’an says:

**“Forgiving sins is for Allah alone.”** — *Qur’an 3:135*

Yet Jesus forgives sins, which only God does.

---

# ✅ **4. Jesus does what no prophet does**

Even in the Qur’an:

### **A. Jesus creates life**

Surah 3:49 — Jesus fashions a bird from clay **and gives it life**.

Qur’an says only Allah gives life.
Yet Jesus does it.

### **B. Jesus is called “Kalimatullah” — the Word of God**

Qur’an 4:171 calls Jesus:

**“His Word… and a Spirit from Him.”**

No other prophet gets this title.

John 1:1 matches this perfectly:

**“In the beginning was the Word… and the Word was God.”**

### **C. Jesus is sinless**

Surah 19:19 calls Him:

**“A pure/holy boy.”**

Muhammad is told to ask forgiveness in Qur’an 47:19.
But not Jesus.

Why?
Because His nature is different.

---

# ✅ **5. If Jesus were only a prophet, the Muslim argument collapses**

Ask the question back gently:

**“If Jesus prayed, does that make Him less than God?
But if He did things only God can do — creating life, forgiving sins, being God’s Word — does that not show He is more than a prophet?”**

---

# ✅ **6. Jesus’ prayer life reveals His divine identity, not the opposite**

The Muslims’ error is assuming:

> “If He prays, He can’t be God.”

But they forget:

* God became man.
* As man, He prayed.
* As God, He received worship.
* As God, He forgave sins.
* As God, He raised the dead.
* As God, He gives eternal life.
* As God, He will judge all humans.

**Praying does not reduce His Godship.
Rejecting His divinity reduces the meaning of His actions.**

---

# ✨ **FINAL ANSWER YOU CAN SEND THEM**

Here is a polished, respectful version you can copy:

---

**Jesus prayed to the Father because He became truly human while remaining truly divine.
His prayers show His humanity, not the absence of His divinity.**

Prophets pray because they *need* God.
Jesus prayed because He was in perfect fellowship with the Father.

Even the Qur’an shows that night prayer is a sign of spiritual greatness (Q 73:2–4).

But Jesus does what no prophet does:

* He forgives sins (Mark 2:5–7), though Qur’an says only Allah forgives sins (Q 3:135).
* He creates life from clay (Q 3:49), which the Qur’an reserves for Allah alone.
* He is called “the Word of God” and “a Spirit from Him” (Q 4:171).
* He is the only prophet called sinless (Q 19:19).
* He will judge the world (John 5:22–23).

So His prayers don’t contradict His divinity — they highlight it.
He is the Son in relationship with the Father.
Fully God, fully Man.

This is very bad. Navy should be held accountable for this.

We all know the police and navy have been having issues but this is too much.

No, let the police have a taste of their own medicine. This is what they do to average citizens everyday. What goes around...

Na now day break for their side huh🤣🤣🤣🤣 Trump una do this one🥲🥲🥲🥲 If you are not a terrorist, and you believe truly, both Christians and Muslims are being killed, tell me, why do you not support a foreign intervention to eradicate those terrorists?

Are you Happy that Muslims and Christians are continuously killed? Are you a terrorist?
You can smell their hypocrisy from a mile away.

Israel gave a Christian and an African the opportunity to live with them and learn from them to improve his career and afford him a greater future, but Hamas killed him in the most mundane way.

However, African terrorists sympathizers want us to believe their killer brothers love Christians and Israel is the enemy🤣🥲 They want us to support their blood sucking Palestine terrorists and reject God's own people. Let it make sense.

May CBN not happen to us. The issue we have is that even the so-called microfinance banks, which are supposed to set standards for other money lenders, have started charging very high interest, up to 248% per annum. Our solution is to overhaul the policy.

CBN is the real criminal here. If you, as a regulatory body, enables or create the environment that enables fraud and daylight robbery such as this one, then you are the big criminal. I bet the top goons at CBN will always get some kickbacks from these loan apps, it explains why they've become so incompetent at their job. CRIMINALS!

If you’ve ever stepped into a Nigerian market, you know it’s not for the faint-hearted. From the noisy haggling to the crowded walkways, markets like Balogun, Oshodi, Mile 12, and Tejuosho are buzzing with activity. But beyond buying and selling, markets have their own rules — break them, and you’ll either lose your money, your goods, or your peace of mind. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Very educative, more contents like this should be hitting the front page, and it's actually sad that Nigeria has turned out this way, it's the reason many prefer modern shopping malls, online stores and supermarkets.

Good morning all
I want us all to look into a request from a returning parent and come up with suggestions, advise, examples(picture samples) etc.
A family left our school some years back while their daughters were in nursery and lower pry classes.

They're planning to come back now while they are in the secondary sch Ss2 and SS 1 now
One going to SS2 didn't do well in our entrance test at all which we advised to repeat.
The SS1 performed excellently
So parents said they can't be in same classes. That they will get extra teachers you know their excuses.

The reasons why they left was that they took them to a Faith based sch so they could learn their religion, Islam, Long hijabs.
Now coming they want us to allow them wear hijabs in which I said NO cos ours isn't a Faith based sch as I won't even allow Christians SU cover their hair in sch.

I suggested that they buy them beret caps and wear after sch. So the parents went back home to think over it.

Do you think we should bend our rules to accommodate them buy allowing Beret, which the parents agreed to or we should maintain our standards knowing fully well that other parents would replicate.

Also I think IRS is now a compulsory subject in secondary schools new curriculum

It all depends on how it suit your business, whatever brings in profit for you. However if you want to operate a secular educational system, you do not have to bow to any any religious by-laws like costumes and all of that, you operate solely on the laws of Nigeria, your state and guidelines of the relevant ministries especially the state ministry of education.

Religion has denied Nigeria alot of technological advancements. Outwardly people wear those things and act holy but check what they do to animals, pets and their fellow human beings.

Also offering religion subjects has nothing to do with your policies on dress mode. It's just a subject for them to learn and know more about the ideals of that religion. A Christian taking classes in IRS doesn't mean he is a muslim and in an ideal setting (which I think it is even already happening) there are professors of Islamic and Arabic studies that are not muslims and professors of Christian theology that are Muslims.

Unfortunately northern bigots and religious extremists across the north and south exepcially people who believe they should kpaaii people for their belief have drawn this country backwards for years.

the over moderation is too much, free speech is been killed here on nairaland. most of the post on the front page do not go more than 3 pages, it seems like the new mod are over zealous, seun caution them.

Someone finally said it. It's very frustrating, it kills the whole experience of coming to the forum. These days I think I just prefer getting news from Instagram blogs.
