Adoption isn't allowed in Islam, however you can choose to raise any child if you wish, you just can't give them your name and they won't partake in your inheritance if you have other children.

That's my opinion.

This is why UK are tired of migrants.

OkCornel:
Lmao, is that how security intelligence works?
I pray tell, was anyone arrested or placed on a watchlist on the coup scares that happened in Cameroon and Rwanda last year?

Abeg no make me laugh.

If some people were placed on watchlist, you don't expect the security to make that knowledge public?

They flirted with lecturers or they could afford private extra lessons, that was how they did it

Case closed.

OkCornel:
What is your definition of “serious claim”?

A CCTV footage of the coup plotters?

Please humour me, Awolowo was plotting coup too?😂

A serious claim would be, Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna are plotting a coup against you.

Saying someone is plotting a coup against you by itself is very useless information.

I'm saying, the Awolowo coup accusation may have been a misinformation by the coup plotters, pointing Tafawa Balewa in the wrong direction.

KnownUnknown:
That’s not a proper answer to the question of how do you know something from 1000 years ago did not happen.

What if the Egyptians wrote that some guy could scale a mountain in a single bound and fly like an eagle while flapping his arms, would you believe it because they were not illiterates or would you disbelieve it because the claim is fantastic, obviously absurd, and physically impossible?

Do you need to go to Mount Olympus to confirm Zeus isn’t there?

That's where multiple sources and archaelogical evidence come into play. Something as great as the first born son of every Egyptian dying and the red sea splitting should have surely been vastly recorded.

Kobojunkie:
The record of the existence of the Canaanites goes as early as Genesis 9 - 12. They existed long before Jacob and His family came to be.

2. The one arguing pointlessly here is you though since you make claims that conflict with information contained in the Israelite Scriptures. The term Hebrew is revealed to have been in place since as early as Genesis 10 and this is about people who are connected to Jacob whose descendants are referred to as the Israelites.

FYI, the first mention of the man named Jacob— the progenitor of the Israelites who was reported to have left Egypt for Canaan— is in Genesis 25.

You have the right to your opinion. You want to believe every first born son of a great civilization died in a single day, you have the right to believe it.

Kobojunkie:
Yet there are reports of Canaanites living in the same land even after this supposed overthrowing?

Yes, Abraham was an immigrant to Canaan. He eventually left the land, dying elsewhere. So?

So, Hebrews did not originate in Canaan by biblical narrative.

I don't have energy for pointless arguments, pick up a Bible and read. No place was it ever implied that Canaanites belong to the same group as Hebrews.

Canaanites were constantly painted as evil people, which is why their land was forfeit.

Kobojunkie:
Again, try to make sure you read and properly digest a comment before responding next time. Hebrews ARE NOT written in Israelite Scripture to have come from Egypt.

2. Your point is meaningless when you are instead informed both through scripture sources and non-scriptural sources that the people of Hebrew existed in the land of Canaan, long before the people of Israel were written to have migrated to that same land to live among them. The land in question was occupied land before the so-called Israelites showed up to join the existing Hebrew population.

They showed up to overthrow the Canaanite population not join them. In the Bible, Abraham came from the land of Ur and God promised him Canaan, he was written as an immigrant in Canaan.

OkCornel:
There was no instance of coup plotters spreading false information of a pending coup in January 1966.

Less than a week to the coup, Nigeria hosted world leaders for an event. I can’t recall the details of the event, but world leaders were in Nigeria.

Do you think the intelligence agencies of leading countries would give their leaders clearance to travel to Nigeria if indeed there were strong rumours of coup? Nah… their high commissioners can be pawned off to attend that event on their behalf.

Well, Tafawa Balewa took coup seriously as the arrest of Awolowo proved. If Aguiyi Ironsi brought a serious claim I'm sure they would have taken him seriously.

Again, Aguiyi Ironsi not being aware of a coup doesn't mean those around him were not.

Kobojunkie:
Again, try to make sure you read and properly digest a comment before responding next time. Hebrews ARE NOT written in Israelite Scripture to have come from Egypt.

They are written to have gone to Egypt and back.

My point is, they never left or came back, they were always in Canaan until the Assyrians and Babylonians displaced them.

They may have been ruled by the Egyptian empire at a certain time, but they never left Canaan to go to live in Egypt..

Kobojunkie:
Where you get that statement in bold from? According to Scriptural reports, the land of Canaan which was populated by the Hebrews existed as far back as over 500 years before the migration of the children of Israel—descendants of Jacob, the wandering Aramean—to Canaan from Egypt. So, I am not certain what you mean by the statement in bold which contrasts with the records.

It means that Hebrews, Canaanites and Philistines belong to the same linguistic/ethnic family.

The idea that Hebrews came from Egypt as freed slaves to the promise land was totally fabricated or for argument sake doesn't have much evidence to back it up, more evidence support Hebrews originating in Canaan.

Kobojunkie:
How can anyone confirm for a fact something that is supposed to have taken place 1000s of years ago never happened? Come on now!! Make una dey take am easy with all of these una assertions abeg! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Because the Egyptians were not illiterates, they actually recorded their history, and even if they failed to record it, the Phoenicians, Romans, Greeks, Persians and Babylonians definitely did.

Most evidence confirm that Hebrews originated in Canaan and didn't migrate from Egypt.

OkCornel:
Item 1: Simply tribalism. That’s the only way I can rationalise it.

He wasn’t part of the coup plotters. He warned Inua Wada, Tafawa Balewa and other top politicians of an impending coup, yet those in power did not act on the intelligence report.

Everyone has their share of the January 1966 mess.

In preparation for the 1975 coup against Gowon, the coup plotters began spreading false information about an impending coup in an act to confuse the government. When Gowon was allegedly told that Joseph Garba was plotting a coup against him, by then so much misinformation about a coup had been spread that Gowon refused to believe it, Joseph Garba was the one who later announced the coup.

The main reason why Awolowo was sent to prison was because he was accused of plotting a coup with Nkrumah of Ghana.

We do know that Nkrumah granted sanctuary to Ifeajuna after Ifeajuna failed coup attempt, so how much of that story was true, lies and misinformation? My point is that Tafawa Balewa government didn't just ignore coup attempts they took it seriously, Aguiyi Ironsi would have been of better help if he had given them names. If he just told them there's a coup but didn't provide any useful information can you blame Tafawa Balewa for not taking him seriously?

Even if Aguiyi Ironsi wasn't aware of the coup, there are lots of evidence that Ojukwu was definitely aware, Aguiyi Ironsi should have at least not rewarded Ojukwu for hiding treasonable information.

Being Igbo is bad for politics business in Nigeria, Wike understands this very well.

They condemn Tinubu for not embracing Federal Character but they cheer Trump for doing literally the same thing.

He was anointed by God to destroy USA, it is their time.

Every empire must come to an end.

He has my full support, I might even travel to Anambra just to vote for him.

All he has to do is arrest all market leaders and lock shops of those who refuse to comply, same with transportation workers and government workers.

You can't be supporting terrorism and wish to live in peace.

I would like to hear his opinion on that fake albino terrorist.

We have all been saying this guy is gay, they kept gaslighting us that he isn't 'it's fashion" "no evidence".

Well now we have no more confusion about crossdressers.

Yoruba men marry Igbo women or (non Yoruba women) AFTER having a child or children with a Yoruba woman.

David married Chioma after having a daughter with Sophia Momodu, despite the death of their son he still refused to marry Chioma until heavy pressure from Chioma's father.

Fani Kayode married an Igbo woman who was his 4th wife, later divorced.

Even the woman married to Ondo state governor was a second wife.

Yoruba men will always pick Yoruba women first, every other woman is a second choice institution and very disposable.

Las las all women are the same, it's the men around those women that make the difference.

Should we call this a case of 'suicide shooting'

He needs to go back to acting. He was really good at it.

That's how they will destroy Igbo culture finish then tomorrow they will start ranting that Igbo culture is dying.

South East need to say a big NO to Christian Zionists agenda.

Barrack Obama people.

This one is even worse, she is his wife not his girlfriend.

And they are the loudest supporters of Trump.

I'm looking at those who think they are doing Tinubu meanwhile they have the highest amount of immigrants.

From South Africa to Cyprus to Phillipines and they have the highest amount of criminals.

Trump abeg carry go Nigeria gat yah back.

Get rid of all those fake supporters.

Friedriche Nietzsche - Gay Science

"Have you ever heard of the madman who on a bright morning lighted a lantern and ran to the market-place calling out unceasingly: ‘I seek God! I seek God!’ As there were many people standing about who did not believe in God, he caused a great deal of amusement. Why! is he lost? said one. Has he strayed away like a child? said another. Or does he keep himself hidden? Is he afraid of us? Has he taken a sea-voyage? Has he emigrated? the people cried out laughingly, all in a hubbub. The insane man jumped into their midst and transfixed them with his glances. ‘Where is God gone?’ he called out. ‘I mean to tell you! We have killed him, you and I! We are all his murderers! But how have we done it? How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the whole horizon? What did we do when we loosened this earth from its sun? Whither does it now move? Whither do we move? Away from all suns? Do we not dash on unceasingly? Backwards, sideways, forwards, in all directions? Is there still an above and below? Do we not stray, as through infinite nothingness? Does not empty space breathe upon us? Has it not become colder? Does not night come on continually, darker and darker? Shall we not have to light lanterns in the morning? Do we not hear the noise of the grave-diggers who are burying God? Do we not smell the divine putrefaction? —for even Gods putrefy! God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him! How shall we console ourselves, the most murderous of all murderers? The holiest and the mightiest that the world has hitherto possessed, has bled to death under our knife—who will wipe away the blood from us? With what water could we cleanse ourselves? What lustrums, what sacred games shall we have to devise? Is not the magnitude of this deed too great for us? Shall we not ourselves have to become Gods, merely to seem worthy of it? There never was a greater event—and on account of it, all who are born after us belong to a higher history than any history hitherto!’—Here the madman was silent and looked again at his hearers; they also were silent and looked at him in surprise. At last he threw his lantern on the ground, so that it broke in pieces and was extinguished. ‘I come too early,’ he then said, ‘I am not yet at the right time. This prodigious event is still on its way, and is travelling—it has not yet reached men’s ears. Lightning and thunder need time, the light of the stars needs time, deeds need time, even after they are done, to be seen and heard. This deed is as yet further from them than the furthest star—and yet they have done it!”.

Igbos didn't fight back but Nigeria lost over 500k soldiers including your fulani brothers who were roasted like bush meat in Abagana and even invited other nations to assist them fight a single tribe,anyways i am not surprise you are fulani a people generally known to have lowest IQ in Africa.

Very few Fulani people fought in the civil war

Gowon wasn't Fulani, Adekunle wasn't Fulanis

The vast majority of soldiers were Yorubas, Ijaws and those Christian Northerners you guys love so much

Fulanis wanted secession too.

SmartyPants:
All the bandits and fulanis killing people all over Nigeria, have they been caught? How much less so for civil matters where you don't have the mechanism of the State at your disposal? Do you know the difference between civil and criminal cases? Do you even know the rudiments of what it takes to bring a matter to court? Which Court will hear any civil suit against an unnamed person of unknown address? Are you sure you have a functioning brain?

Get away from here. You are a waste of time.

These are not unknown people, if they lived and grazed in that community then they are known. While bandits are criminals, cattle herders have livestock to take care of, there's no way they can run so quickly.

But keep making excuses, your becoming very good at it.

Antivirus92:
striking an isolated village in the wee hours of the night and running away has never been known in the history of humanity as an act of braveness. Igbos faced Nigeria and her allies face to face for three years even in the face of being disadvantaged....now, that's greatness!

All is fair in love and war

Striking an isolated village and running away was the exact strategy used by Hannibal to fight the Romans

Genghis Khan used it to conquer Russia, China, Turkey, Syria

Vietcong used it to drain the USA

The truth is that majority of Igbos are arrogant, cowardly, weak and slavish in nature, the fact that Igbos didn't take revenge for the pogroms unleashed on them exposed their weakness to everybody, Fulanis would have fought back, especially after the second wave of pogroms.

Igbos didn't not fight during the Biafra war, Igbos simply played victims and ran, the only recorded act of military prowess happened in the invasion of Onitsha and even that was due to the mistakes of Murtala Mohammed rather than the genius of Biafrans, it was all downfall from there.
