They would quickly talk about their defeats and blame it on straying from the path of God but it would be there.

It's been over a millennia between when Egypt was their colonial master and when they wrote the bible. They generally don't mention the taxes they paid in tribute to the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians or Greeks but anyone reading the bible will see the wotowoto they received from the Philistines, Assyrians and Babylonians even if they don't dwell on it. The Greek period is not covered in the bible.

They were never at that much odds with Egypt. In fact Egypt was always a benevolent colonial master, allowing them their glory years of Saul, David and Solomon while only demanding tax. It was when Egypt lost to the Assyrians that the Hebrews fell apart because the Assyrians had a scorched earth policy and were not as benevolent as the Egyptians. Egypt has always been a place of refuge for the Hebrews with many of them taking flight into Egypt when things got rough, including Jeroboam who fled there when Solomon was trying to kill him, to thousands who fled there (and remain there) when the Babylonians sacked Judah, all the way to Jesus fleeing Herod. There is no way the Israelites will give Egypt wotowoto and flee to Canaan which is under Egyptian control without consequence. it never happened.

When they suffer pain and defeat, you will know from the lament of their prophets like Jeremiah, Micah and co. For example, in the period of the Judges, the Philistines gave them wotowoto for 400 years until the time of David and had them mostly subservient. But the story you know is of David slaying Goliath, but if you read with open eyes, they gave enough hints of their defeats. Even when Philistines killed their whole Royal Family (Saul and his sons), they acknowledged but will blame it on Saul straying from God's path. Let me even shock you, they stole the Gideon 300 men story against the Philistines from the Spartan 300 men story and it was written during the Hellenistic period when Greece was their colonial master. The reality is the Philistines gave them wotowoto until David somewhat stabilised things, and even at that, the Philistines kept all their territories on the Coast and just faced their maritime business while the Hebrews faced their herdsmen business in the hinterland. The 5 Philistine Cities on the Coast were flourishing and kampke, David only stopped their incursions into the hinterland and did not defeat them. It was the Assyrians that later carried away the Philistines to Assyria to disappear forever from history, same with the 10 tribes of Israel.

Another example, when the Assyrians took away the ten tribes except Judah and Benjamin never to be seen again, they are least acknowledged it small while blaming the ten tribes for straying from the will of God. That was a catastrophic event which they skirted over but at least acknowledged.

Same with when the Babylonians finally carried away Judah and Benjamin 200 years later. They acknowledged but would rather dwell on the triumphant return as evidence of God's providence, forgetting to mention that Cyrus the Great reversed the policy of moving people out of their ancestral lands and returned the ones he could including Judah and even funded and planned their return for over a year.

I raise you that their defeats are posted all over the bible (but not dwelt upon) and they never had major issues with the Egyptians to the extent described in Exodus, otherwise they would have been annihilated.

You are very well versed in history. I admire that very much. You are my favorite wicked abroadian. Only "wicked" because you support our oppressors here. 😞😞

Hmm

Also please vote no matter what. This picture depicts the best advice regarding voting. Your vote is your only power. Don't throw it away. Make it count.

The reputation I have on this thread is quite unfortunate to say the least. The truth is many of you for whatever reasons aren't courageous enough to be truthful as far as politics is concerned.

This group is actually supposed to represent an educated microcosm of our society and debate on virtues of truth but the power of illicit biases cowers your temerity for Truth and that is unfortunate. Couldn't deal with grown men tiptoeing around truth.
Wish you all well anyways.

Tinubu is an unmitigated absolute disaster but the one area I would want Obi to maintain tinubu's work is in the downstream petroleum sector. Nigeria's oil production is now nearing 2 million barrels per day. We just exported 1.89 million barrels of oil. Above our OPEC quota. Under buhari, it was a third of that number. If this continues, it means we will be producing enough for our domestic needs, enough for our debt which was incurred upon our heads and enough to still earn money. Whatever is happening in the downstream sector should be continued. But the upstream needs a lot of work. The corruption there is eating up the good works of the downstream. We're not seeing the results on this high production of crude right now.

In real life I am standing on his manhood

If you're living in Nigeria just know that you're suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

You are doing a very great job here my brother. I know it's not easy but keep at it! You are holding the forte which some of us have don't have the strength for anymore.

I like that Obi is saying this more and more. We can't legitimize nonsense and accept it to be true.

Lol 😆 how is that your problem 🤣 You have not started marketing this guy. pic.twitter.com/GKynrTOKkT

You guys are still trying to argue with raumdeauter as though it's a rational human.

Seems like i need to remind you guys of the political opinions this guy hold and make you realize you're pouring water on a rock.

IT'S NOT AMALA TURNING!! IT'S WICKEDNESS!!!
We're talking of someone that's pro-genocide against his countrymen. What the fvck do you guys expect?

Bimmarlykay:
How they take that guy seriously over here should be studied. Folks with first-hand experience are wailing. A niqqa in a country that only worries about missile/nuke and gun attacks from psychos is saying otherwise and digging up stats. Maybe if it gets to someone close to him,he’ll man up or create an alternate account and write exhaustively about Tinubu’s failure.

The main factor why he's not regarded as a troll which he is particularly in political and tribal issues is that he's in a class of the OG's of this sports section. It's really that simple.

Many of us met them here and believe it or not, that carries a certain social status. We're geared to believe that being older should mean being more perceptive and wiser which he is on some other issues and that clouds the ability to actually stomp the troll, because it's difficult to rationalize how this educated older person can be this much of a wicked tribal troll.. now when the incentive to get financialgifts is there, that now further compromises one's decision making how to actually handle he troll, one resorts to kikiking it away.

Yeah it is. You haven't watched the videos the kidnappers release when asking for ransom??
Why do you think everyone is enraged about insecurity in the southwest right now? They're literally attacking schools and kidnapping school kids right now.

This point is apt.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
How dem wan take call him out for being insensitive and illogical after he don use giveaway buy their conscience. Make Christmas reach dem go line up again while he mock and insult their condition.

EXACTLY MY POINT!!!
I laugh when they criticize voters who sell their votes because they clearly didn't realize the shenanigan they fell for.
By accepting his bribe, they simply have no leg to actually go after him as supposed to. The highest they can do is keep laughing it away.

This picture is the most singular evidence that Tinubu has failed. Some governments resign over this. Instead someone will come here and play politics with people's lives and you guys would kikiki over it.

TrebleChamp:
E be like say you don pick HoR ticket under NDC?
If Obi had remained in ADC, the party would still be in a sponsored crises today. People in Govt are doing whatever to stop him to contesting, i believe the reason they have failed to cause chaos in NDC is because Seriake Dickson is the the owner and Chairman.

I agree with you. It's looking like a timely decision on his part. The immense growth of the party since his sojourn shows he knows his worth. I just wish Atiku decided to do the right thing.

MonsieurCoder:
Behemoth that will come 3rd

Let's watch and see. Time will tell. Jungle dey mature.

You accepted his new year "bribes" and that made you not Soo different from the voters who sell their votes. The consequence of that selling out is that you have no leg to stand on to actually be reprehensible to him. So you keep dealing with that consequence. He keeps mocking your reality from 5000km away and you have no choice but to take it because you allowed yourselves be compromised.

I took a long hiatus from this place because I never could reconcile how you guys could keep mollycoddling someone who very clearly has no interest in Nigeria being better.
I used months highlighting everything ugly about this individual. Revealing how sooo irrational this individual who is supposed to be perceptive and logical about issues simply isn't when it comes to Nigerian politics.

This individual spent 10 years denigrating an entire tribe on this platform CONSISTENTLY!! Calling an entire group GORILLAS, CANNIBALS AND MONKEYS.
This was clearly an educated tribal chauvinist, but it seems you guys keep expecting rationality from this individual.

Just look at what tinubu is doing.
The so-called democracy freedom fighter!!

Threatening to revoke title deeds to landowners who host opposition. A so called democrat!!

There is no denying that Obi is a behemoth. The minute he joined NDC, it became a force to be reckoned with. The names I'm seeing that have joined is just astonishing.
Atiku really f'd up big time. He should have supported Obi in ADC.

I am impressed so far with the organization of the NDC. Maybe Obi has definitely learnt a lot from the last 4 years.. let's see how it goes.
He must ensure that NDC has party agents at all polling units across the country band every local government has a situation room for real time monitoring of results.
Time might be an enemy but where there's will, they must be a way!!

In all, please get your PVCs. No matter how frustrating our political scene is, you must never give up.
Your vote is your only power in governance. Giving it up comes from a place of ignorance.
You can never escape the effects of politics and governance in your life.

Your vote is powerful. Don't willingly surrender your power.

Anyone that says they won't vote is clearly ignorant and ill-informed.
Lastly, there are are sooo many public offices to vote for, not just the presidency. Educate yourself on who represents you at all levels of government. Understand their roles and vote accordingly. Never surrender your vote. That is simply an extreme thing to do.

Anybody that says Obi should have agreed to be vice for Atiku in 2027 is a very stupid cvnt!.

I will say this for the umpteenth time. Peter Obi won the 2023 elections but was rigged out NOT ONLY by the APC but also the PDP in their strongholds. Especially in the south south. The PDP rigged obi's numbers in akwaibom, bayelsa, cross river and so on. Obi scored not less than 8 million votes but his numbers were downgraded and pdapc numbers inflated. This we all know. I get sooo triggered whenever someone says Obi scored 6 million votes. Why are we choosing to decieve our ownselves??

Inside information whispered that there was a brief moment after the elections where some members of the PDP attempted to coalesce with Obi and restore his numbers with a goal to eventually running a coalition government. The idea was that through obi's votes in PDPs strongholds which they had plus his own inec rectified votes, they would definitely triumph in court.
ATIKU WAS THE ONE WHO DESTROYED THAT PLAN FOR SELFISH REASONS.

Make no mistake, I do fault Obi for his poor utilization of his broad support and organization and leadership in some aspects but let's tell ourselves the truth please.

I don't know why I'm still in awe of the sheer intelligence prowess of America. Those CIA movies and series are really no joke at all.
During the 12 day war, trump literally tweeted, "we know where khaemeni is at all times, we're choosing to let him live to give him a chance to do the right thing ". All these anti west claimed it was bull, that America can't try it. And literally the first salvo of this war killed not just the supreme leader but an entire elite command structure.

Say what you will, but America is the undisputed world power ever seen in our human civilization. I doff my heart. The anti west people should keep drowning in their copium. They're in for a long thing. America will win sooo decisively.

Many corrupt politicians are "pastors" in this man's church. That is complicity right there in Nigeria's problems. He's a big beneficiary of Nigeria's problems.

One of the key enablers of these evil politicians. Nigerians, wise up and know your enemies.

This copium is insane!! Just 2 years ago, you guys swore Israel can never directly attack Iran. That they no born Israel well to bomb any part of Iran that Israel will be flattened.

Many months later, the entire senior military command and the supreme leader has been wiped out. Again, not just the supreme leader but the entire most senior leadership have been killed in a space of 6 months.

October 7 would forever remain the biggest blunder Iran could have made. All their influence gone. Hezbollah, hamas and the rest.

Trump has made it so unanimously clear how super the USA is. Intelligence and military might.

Khameni is dead. That is just shocking. All these years I really taught Iran were who they were. You just have to give it to Bibi an Israel. Netanyahu is the greatest Israeli leader in history.

He has literally destroyed all enemies of Israel without waging an all out war.
I really align with trump's foreign policies so far. He's reminding the world of the sheer brute power of the USA for whoever might want to forget.

Russia and china gats comot body. They can't do shiiit

The APC was a union of primarily acn, cpc and dissatisfied pdp members.
The governing slots, Ministerial and appointment slots were shared to which tinubus men all occupied these high positions but somehow, tinubu was a powerless figure who couldn't do anything to steer Nigeria forward. That's what APC rats have made Nigerians believe. Such an evil bunch!

There is something I should have posted long ago. I see someone diabolical stating that "3 years is not enough for tinubu to make things right".

I remember that sentence verbatim because even myself and these same people right now we're the ones making that foolish statement 8 years ago. That buhari needed more than 4 years to right the wrongs of pdp. That has turned to 12 years of misery for the average Nigerian.

The most successful propaganda messaging to come out of the APC rats is successfully convincing Nigerians that tinubu has no role in buharis failed 8 year term.

Peter Obi doesn't know how to lead men and that is the number one quality of a leader. I am speaking as an insider that have watched the chaos unfold. All the organization that had built up from late 2022 has been lifeless due to a serious lack of direction from Obi. Not only did he fail to defend our votes and suffering in the last election, his failure to capitalize on the leadership of LP and form a formidable opposition with the backing he had from the masses is just terribly shocking.

Nonetheless, I see the failure of APC and I fear for the direction this country is headed under one party rule.
If Obi is the ADC candidate, I will vote for him because that is the only practical choice. The challenge has become to supplant APC from our country by all means necessary.
