LordReed:
So you are going to act obtuse to the fact that until the abolitionists, Christians had no problem with owning slaves? LoLz. Na wa o.

Also remind me the religion of those who fought to retain slavery again?

To add: both the Old and New Testaments contain presciptions for maintaining slavery.

Uten9z:
That's the thing, the bible is older than 1940's and what ever means they occupy it's their land.

There were other people there as well right from Biblical times, even before the Jews and like Throwback pointed out, the Jews only occupied the space by "biblical genecides."

Amayabor1:
It is hard to debate with many of you on Nairaland. It sucks energy because many of you don't know anything.

Let me give you an advise; go to chatgpt and type "which people were the original inhabitants of present day Isreal before Isreal was formed".

The truth is that before present day Isreal was formed, the land, including the west bank, gaza strips, and surronding lands, has been the home of people different religion and tribes; Arabs, Muslims, Christians, jews, etc. There was no Palestine country before 1948 (and I never said Palestine was a country).

When Britain formed Isreal in 1948, it was expected that for peace to reign, Palestinians should also have their own country. If Isreal will be the country for the jews, a country of Palestine should be created for a Palestinian Arabs. Now, Isreal has been encroaching on Palestinian lands and expanding Israeli borders. In due time, they will take over the whole of Gaza and west Bank. It is not fair. The jews are not the only original inhabitants in these lands

Thank you. But Nigerian Evangelical Christians blindly worship Israel regardless of the facts that -

1. Israel does not believe in their Christ

2. Africans should naturally support movements against imperialist colonialism and apartheid

tctrills:
Not really, but then, I don't see you talking about any of the talents that Nigeria has lost to Boko Haram or to Tinubu's evil government. I don't see you calling for the heads of anyone who took part in the Biafran war, where more than 2 million babies were killed in your country, your race. I never saw your post on Sudan, Ethiopia, or the ongoing crimes against Christians happening in many countries. What happened to the killers of Sarah? I can bet you know nothing about this. You seem to be one of those kids who started using the internet 5 months ago. The world is much more complex than they want you to believe. You are truly lost. These people, despite the war, have a much higher life expectancy than you. There is a bigger hunger problem in Nigeria than in Gaza. They should be the ones fighting, demonstrating, and posting bad news from Nigeria on social media. You are completely lost. Life expectancy in Gaza is 74 years. If that is what you call a genocide, then I want one in Nigeria.

It is truly a pity that you seem to think that the fact that we can discuss a matter of global concern means that one's life and perspectives and the matters that one devotes oneself to end here online on that global matter alone. You have absolutely no idea who I am and what I put out on particularly African matters and African conflicts. Please, try not to presume.

One of the reasons the spectre in Gaza/ West Bank is so serious to most of the world is because it is the last frontier of open colonialism and apartheid - a disease which the world has fought in many forms from the slave trade to Jim Crowe, to segregation in the USA, to the American Civil Rights Movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King, to apartheid in South Africa and the struggle against it led by Nelson Mandela.

The nobility of these movements speaks directly against each and every one of you who stand against these very noble principles which many have bled for - and most sadly in your case, principles which were fought for the freedom of your very race and very people.

The world is truly much more complex than you think it is - otherwise you would not be a worshipper of Israel and white colonialists.

tctrills, more good news for you.

In the first place there is nothing like indigeneship under the 1999 Constitution - except with regard to appointment of Ministers and even at that, the word is not defined.

LordReed:
Serial Killer: I have stopped serial killing, now a round of applause for me!

Gbam!

RealityKings1:
Slavery came before Christianity, so if Christianity was able to abolish it after 1700 years just like you admitted ... then Christianity wield a strong positive influence not just spiritually but socially, economically.

its good to know the Great Britain saved you from slavery when they abolished slavery in 1855

It is ridiculous to give anyone credit for abolishing an abomination that they themselves practiced.

Gabrielshow24:
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.🙃

If Satan like make he cause plague, it will work for my good👌.

Well, as a religionist and person of faith you are free to say that. The truth however is that this does not turn out to be the case for a great many people no matter how much they trust in and appeal to God. Think of the millions who experienced the holocaust for example and the many more millions who experienced the slave trade as another example.

Of course I understand you will have the "it can never happen to me" mentality but in truth everyday very good faithful people are struck down by all manner of tragedy including terminal illnesses.

Gabrielshow24:
Let me Indulge you by laughing as well 😂😂😂.

Is it not funny?

Is this not the chap whose house Obasanjo ran to, demanded pounded yam, ate it and then produced a letter of resignation for him to sign as PDP Chair?

KillahPriest:
Hotel in Abuja yet you're talking about a blonde woman in Everglades that's in Florida. Ogbeni park one side abeg, your story and names used no balance at all at all

Jakumo:
Haha no be small ting. Meanwhile detectives from the moon have contacted those in Casablanca so that they can coordinate with their colleagues in Ukraine who will then jointly operate with a special task force based in the South Pole to arrest all polar bears and penguins that are sighted in the vicinity of the Abuja crime scene.

He is obviously testing out AI

Kukutente23:
Oga just bring the examples. Simple

Sango forbid.

Gabrielshow24:
God made Satan and turned all his wickedness into good—for us👀

Kukutente23:
I hope you count yourself among the youths you claim Tinubu inherited
Where did you learn your own economics from that taught you this agbero definition of economics terms
Imagine defining macroeconomics in terms of infrastructure

Is it not utterly shameful to find one such as him, writing so pompously the same insult offered to Nigerian youth by Muhammadu Buhari, and doing so in barely concealed defense of the current calamity of a president?

We have a long road to walk.

People like TheBizGenius are truly frightening. They make one want to weep for Africa.

tonesky:
I now believe that madness has several categories. This is madness level 12 talk.

The shamelessness is staggering.

TheBizGenius:
Hmmmm.

If you don't understand the context of the word infrastructure in that sentence, then you probably wouldn't understand the terms I used.

I hope someone explains it in common English language though.

Unfortunately, someone also liked your comment. Yikes.

Your write up is an example of just why Nigeria is so afflicted. With citizens like you, we will wander long in the desert and the valley.

I hope it is not thought that Brutus, Cassius and co are the only one's to point fingers at. Julius Caesar himself was the epitome of lust for power.

Kukutente23:
Just one or two and I hope you won't be so slow to bring the Elon argument
I believe that should be beneath you

If you believe that one or two examples dont exist - or you require anyone else to source or highlight one or two examples of cronyism in the west, then there is a serious problem.

Mrexcell:
Which africa the one kings are buried with the heads of servants and the innocent commoner?

As though this is the standard practice across the many hundreds of kingdoms all over this continent.
Continue hating your race.

Amotolongbo:
It happens to some people suffering from Diabetes

It was ulcers from an accident likely during a jousting game.

Amotolongbo:
This write up only existed in literature and not reality.

His leg got pretty rotten so much that it stank before he died though.

Kukutente23:
I'm surprised no zombie has shown up to defend Bwala's claim
That says a lot about what they think about it

This one pass them.

Jakumo:
Sowore should enjoy his detention with those kidnappers occupying the same cell. Maybe he can teach them to be career activists like him so that they can make money from publicity stunts and noise making, rather than from their normal business of kidnapping.

We need people like him sire.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kukutente23:
You're yet to give me an example though
Those using musk as an example just based on what Trump said are simply ignorant and I challenge any of them to show how Musk's contracts are examples of cronyism

As said before, I consider it a joke: examples will run into the thousands and no one should have time to give examples of ants following sugar.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

My God!

What a full belly and a full wallet cannot do does not exist!

Kai!

Stick to context. This is not a beer parlor

Trees for the monkeys pal!

Ol boy have a good evening.

AutoConsult:
I dare you to follow me up with fact and figures. Some of you just come on here to rant for hours without making any tangible point. Your knowledge of governance is zero but your thumbs are always quick to call what others say rubbish.

Again, I dare you tackle me with facts. Show me how Nigeria could sustain subsidizing dollar and pms for over 220million people, a lot of them being very very intentionally lazy and unproductive.

I am not interested. I pick my disscussants carefully. I can see engagement will be a waste of time.

ayusco85:
You know nothing John snow

I thought my friend Kukutente23 could not shock me any more. He proved me wrong by saying that there isnt any deep cronysim in the west.
A new level of naivette.

AutoConsult:
This is about Jonathan's administration, not BAT'S. I'll judge his administration after he leaves office too.

So crimes are only committed while one is president? None before?

press9jatv:
Well said, Sir. Sometimes when I look back and reflect on Nigeria as a nation, I’m genuinely baffled by how we got here, a place where criminals are celebrated, where money defines value, and loyalty is reserved for those with deep pockets. Simply put, it’s absurd. As the Emir rightly said, what we need is a regeneration of values in this country. GOD HELP NIGERIA!!!!

Except that the Emir himself is one of the towers of hypocrisy and corruption in this country.

Kukutente23:
Shots fired

People who can't tell us the primary and secondary schools they attended and had to steal a former Gov's photo

And you can imagine BAT supporters on this board always going on with the suggestion that a Mafia leader can cleanse the country of the Mafia, that a kingpin of loot can fight corruption, in short, that a person who is a load of fae/ces himself can cleanse the augean stable.
