Recently I just observed that olorun or eludumare or oluwa is not the christian god "Yahweh", according to yoruba history, olorun had many sons and daughters, in fact obatala and oduduwa were his sons, but Yahweh had only one son according to the bible. Only if our christian brothers and sisters would know this when they praise olorun in churches.

Thanks. I also realized this after a reread. I am grateful.

A lot of people hated former Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu who was the executive governor of Lagos State for several reasons. Most of his haters will give several reasons why they hated him. Majority of these haters comprises of some yorubas and people from other tribes why have never had any direct link with Jagaban as he is popularly called.

Those who have benefitted immensely from his largesse will rather dress in royal regalia and sing his praises as a benefactor and king maker because he has subordinates that he personally assisted to have risen in their political career to the offices of house assembly and state governors among others.

Why people hated him?

1. Many believed that the wealth of Lagos is in his pocket. Meaning he owns Lagos.

2. He installs only his cronies in position of authority as conduit pipes.

3. To some, he is the father of touts popularly called agberos in Lagos who extort money on a daily basis from transporters.

4.He brought Nigeria on her knees by foistering President Buhari on Nigerians. This is because of the present economic hardship Nigerians are going through.

To be candid, I do not subscribe to hating individuals who I do not have any direct link with. We had anticipated better governance when Jonathan performed abysmally in office.

Are you among his haters? Why do you hate this genius, tell us.

In fact. No be lie. Nine out of ten camels smoke doctors.
Where there is a will, there will be relatives.
I'd much rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
I shud of stood in bed.

Anyway in all seriousness, It’s tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won’t drink from my glass.

So hard to get laid these days. A girl phoned me and said, “Come on over. There’s nobody home.” I went over. Nobody was home.

Even my shrink is no help. He told me "You're a lunatic". I said I want a second opinion. So he said a second time "You're a lunatic".

No refuge at home either. My marriage is on the rocks again. Yeah, my wife just broke up with her boyfriend.

FreeStuffsNG:
Nice!
Anyone who is able and can not afford 3 square meals yet has time to idle away on nairaland is not Buhari's fault. He or she is more likely lazy youth.

Those vehicles may just be for their security chiefs and joint task force.

This security issue needs the cooperation of especially our poor neighbouring countries already devastated by these terrorists. To hide behind a moniker and type is the easy part.

The carelessness going on in Libya that made Libya a host to insurgents has already cost her neighbouring country, Chad, her President, it is foolhardy to take any neigbouring country for granted after that incident.
This is investing in your own securities by ensuring that Niger does not become a base for ISWAP, ISIS and Boko Haram.


For those oversabi Buhari and Tinubu haters and bigots who hate anyone not from their region or tribe, investing in securities maybe clueless to you because you do not have enough information or not one of the victims around that region.

You can buy Landcruiser for those who will coordinate and lead the strategy and execution of the security risks as motivation and aid. Just around Lagos here, there are Landcruisers with Nigerian Army, WHO and UN painted on them. I doubt if you have seen them . Perhaps you are suggesting that there is reason for UN, WHO, Nigerian Army to use landcruiser but others can't.
Why do you think they went for Landcrusiers and not Kia? Does it come with tracking devices and bullet proofs etc? Is it for ransom and already tracked or laced with bomb? etc.

Like I stated, most of you do not know about these things but instead of being humble enough to ask , you reach judgement based on that hatred, bigotry and insufficient understanding of the issue you have before you.

Landcruisers for security and security officers is no big deal! Even overseas, it is used by ordinary police patrol let alone being used by service chiefs.

Some people will start crying now but when Nigeria receives aid from the likes of USA and Uk you don’t hear them wail . This is no issue . The only issue I’ve is that The FG should step up security things are really bad .

DeepSight:
Sir ' Kumo of That. Sadat, do you know the Youtube Channel Rogue's Gallery?
I strongly suspect it will be to your taste.

Jakumo:
This may be true in some instances, but all too often, the story of how a region's seeds of terror were sown is more convoluted, involving a rogue's gallery of shadowy cartels that may or may not enjoy ties to the official seat of political power, all playing out against the backdrop of perceived historical precedent.

wirinet:
The whole comparison is not flawed because everyone buys petrol at the international price and worse still countries like Nigeria buys refined crude from refineries abroad. So prices are expected to be similar save taxes and subsidies.

wirinet:
So this what you could dig up? An interview 3 years after the elections. No a rally speech to rile up her supporters, but an interview of her views and life after retirement from politics.

They did not try to impeach Trump. Trump was actually impeached - twice. And it was not Hilary that impeached Trump, it was the democrat led house. They Democrats knew the Republican house can never remove Trump, they only wanted to show their own supporters, independents and non trump Republicans the impropriety of Trump's actions, for the next elections. And it worked. The Democrats would not have won the presidential election without rebel Republicans like the Lincoln project.

It is same scenario playing out now. If Trump contest the next election, much more Republicans would go against Trump after the expose by the January 6 committee.

I am sorry to say, you are a very dishonest person. I just pray that is is not the way you conduct yourself in real life.

One of the obvious rulings is the prohibition of eating pork meat in Islam. Why is it haram? This thread provides an answer

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/49688/why-is-pork-haram

PastorAIO:
So to conclude we. can say that the. Bible contradicts. itself o n the issue. of. human. sacrifice.

Without a doubt. yhwh once. asked for. human sacrifices, even the. first. born of. all the Israelites. Yet. in. other passages it claims to denounce the practice.

But to trump it all, what we are told is the culminating event in the bible is itself a human sacrifice, to wit, the sacrifice of Jesus to yhwh for the remission of sins.

So while claiming to reject human sacrifice we find that the entire book points to human sacrifice as it's apotheosis.

doggedfighter:
Not a big deal.



Any child that calls you father is your child.

What's the crying for ?

Thomthom:
i dislike that @Verywickedman since the day i read his comment on one pregnant woman that was stabbed and killed... He made a very senseless comment saying the woman should be happy because the C/S women are paying for in the Hospital, the woman got it for free so there is no issue there... Anytime I see that monikar I still remember that comment.. if not for low data, I would have screenshot and paste it here.. people are inhuman.

Daytrader1:
Very stupid point all the animals you called never eat themselves or their species they go for lesser prey that's not wickedness its survival. Humans re not entirely wicked too you're just wired with negativity and that's all you get in life bad things, think about a red benz and you'll see it everywhere that's how the mind works

VeryWickedMan:
I looked around me and I all I saw was wickedness. Chickens eat ants without batting an eyelid, hawks eat chicks, snakes eat rats, lions eat deer, shark eats anything. Animals rape each other and move on. Some eat while they prey is alive. Others will drown you deliberately. Just wickedness and vawulence everywhere......


Every living thing on earth is openly wicked.
Only humans are pretending to be nice. Greetings, fake smiles, friendships, relationships, etc.

Only humans hoard wealth for an uncertain future.
Chickens don't keep feed, dogs don't save food, cats don't lizards don't. The few rodents that keep food do so for hibernation.

Nature herself is telling us to be wicked that's why I decided to emulate nature and be very wicked.

I am natural, you are fake.


Mods please move to FP

Jomonix:
There is a big picture behind what you think to be brutal and competitive battle for survival. If you have developed the 3rd eye you will make a sense of it. There is no magic in nature. Don't forget nature developed over several billion years. It took quite some time but it had to be because everything is deliberate and planned. Nature did not materialize from the blues.

Jomonix:
I think you are speaking about your personal experiences chiefly. My own experience is very different.

The paths we work to higher knowledge is not necessarily the same for everyone. Don't worry about the length of time you spend or your age. I wish you all the best.

rolams:
If he likes, he can wear only elastic pant to the court. That is his problem. The ruling on hijab has been stamped and sealed. Are these lawyers not good enough to defeat the Muslims lawyers at the court?

These people shouting now are the cause of the case. Why were those ladies harassed with their hijabs? At least only few of them were using it then. Why can't they be ignored? But your hatred for Islam led you to this level.

Jomonix:
Yes, I believe in Karma. My suggestion to anyone in a quest to know more about the material world and beyond is to have an open mind. Keep it simple and stay childlike and honest; not holding tenaciously to what you know already. You will develop the 3rd eye and to your surprise things will be opened to you at the time you least expected. It will be like recognizing a glow of light that was always there but was not seen because the individual has his eyes closed all the time. No one can do it for you. For me I look at nature and see the Love, Mercy and Justice of GOD. I also feel a sense of gratitude because everything was provided in endless quantities, in abundance. GOD is great.

Jomonix:
But the happenings are not arbitrary.

FreeStuffsNG:
You are being alarmist and not putting your education to good use with this lamentation.

In the first place, gas cost has risen astronomically globally since Russia-Ukraine war started. Read up on why it is so.

On your unnecessary dramatics about food, parents still feed their children as no sensible responsible parent will let his or her children go without food because of high gas prices.

For as long as this war continues, gas price will remain high and that is why even Europe has started telling their citizens to cut down on gas usage and switch to alternatives, even EU itself has switched to other energy sources like coal.

If wealthy EU countries can switch to alternatives, that should teach you how to be sensible with your finances too when prices of any commodity is going sky high because of artificial reasons. That is called demand destruction to force price down.

In Nigeria, we can switch to kerosene, coal etc to reduce demand for gas so that those who want to further profiteer from the scarcity can reduce their price.

Sensible parents have since bought stoves and coal pots for now like Europeans in order to wait out this war period and will get back to gas when the price falls.
This is the way out not just lamenting and forming a lamentation group.

Gas itself , due to the deleterious effect of its combustion CO2 emision on our climate, will one day be phased out once we perfect the renewables.

N:B To those 'entitled' ones screaming we have gas in Nigeria, let me remind you that between the gas underground and your kitchen is a lot of billions of USD investments you do not have o and those who made the investment from their hard-earned money can not keep subsidizing your gas consumption endlessly especially when they have willing buyers and international contracts that pay more for this gas in the scarce forex our country currently needs.

Banking on gas subsidy after you enjoy petrol and electricity subsidies that our folks in the villages do not enjoy is an unjust ungodly welfare system you use to kill those poor villagers who are not enjoying your privileges of electricity,petrol subsidies and now gas subsidy but picking your bills , environmental and social costs while you feed fat on resources govt could use to give them basic amenities like pipeborne water; clinics, security, schools, standalone solar generators etc.
Their blood is on your hands if you want to extend your subsidy appetite now to advocating for gas subsidy at their expense.

FG must never subsidize gas. Get creative and responsible. Kill this lazy youth with entitlement mentality of yours.

MindHacker9009:
I was not the one that mentioned Japan. I only came across your comment and I thought I'll respond to it.

1. Isaac Newton was a Catholic
2. Catholic church was the first Christian church
3. The Bible we have today came from the Catholic church
4. Just as you feel Catholicism is not christainity so also the Jews also see Christianity as pagan worship as Christianity has nothing to do with Judaism.
5. The countries that brought Chritianity and Islam to black Africa did not give the secrets that will help Black Africa to develop and the African traditional religion too does not give the secret to technological advancement.
6. Even the country Islam came from depends on Europe and America for their technology
7. The Developed countries have access to the spirit world of technology. So even if you memorise and practice all the commands in the Bible it will not make you like Isaac Newton or the other great scientist.

Gospel2Day:
If you do not want to sincerely and seriously seek and find The One True and Living Creator God now, you will find answers to all your questions after you die, when you stand before His Throne to be judged.
Before that terrible moment, it is my hope and prayers that you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.
Shalom.

Gospel2Day:
What is truly evil is your indoctrination that out of the 4,000 religions there is NOT ONE that is the TRUE ONE.

Jesus saves.
Jesus is Lord.
Shalom.

wirinet:
US is fast becoming a Christian fundamentalist country with republicans affiliating with evangelicals. So they will have no moral standing to challenge Islamic fundamentals too. Besides religion is a very political topic in the US and no one wants to rock the religious boat.

Meanwhile most countries in Europe has banned the use of hijab, as Europe goes to great lengths to separate state from religion.

Controversy around face coverings — the burqa, niqab and hijab — have erupted across the world.
