Akingun1990:First problem you have is that large percentage of igbo do not support IPOB or separation of the country. For this reason, splitting Nigeria is DOA |
MrFinbarr:i disagree. If he does open another thread that one too will be distracted or derailed. He's doing the best thing by focusing on his deals and potential customers. |
true2god:okay then. Since you so much love to lump them, it means White slave trade which includes transatlantic slave trade and Roman Empire atrocities were inspired by Christianity till today. Here are few Roman Empire and Biblical details. In New Testament: Slavery in the Roman Empire was a fact of life. Most people could not imagine a society without slaves. Some people spoke out against the mistreatment of slaves, and there were slave revolts, but no abolitionist movement existed. This proves there was no attempt by Christians to end slave trade before Prophet muhammad. It is clear slaves were traded by Christians. The fate of a slave depended largely on the temperament of his or her master. Masters could punish slaves brutally for real or perceived infractions. Sexual abuse of slaves was also common. Slave work included hard labor as well as skilled service like tutoring, bookkeeping, and estate managing. Masters often freed slaves—and for numerous reasons, including as a reward for obedience and loyalty. Written contracts, however, commonly enforced continued work by freed slaves for their former masters. A wide range of circumstances dictated whether a slave would be educated, illiterate, poor, wealthy, abused, or comfortable. New Testament writers lived in the Roman Empire and likewise adopted widespread attitudes about slaves. Some New Testament passages rely on negative stereotypes, such as slaves being lazy (Matt 25:26). Other passages use slavery as a metaphor for faithfulness. Paul calls himself a “slave of Jesus Christ” as a sign of devotion (Rom 1:1). Jesus compares the impossible task of a slave serving two masters to followers who must choose between wealth and God (Matt 6:24, Luke 16:13). Several passages address slaves directly, which is evidence that they were attracted to the early Jesus movement (1Cor 7:21, 1Tim 6:1, 1Pet 2:18). Christian slaves navigated the complex world of enslavement with their new faith. The most famous slave in the New Testament epistles is Onesimus, the slave of Philemon. In a short letter, Paul implores Philemon to receive Onesimus as “a beloved brother” (Phlm 16). Whether Paul intended freedom for Onesimus is a matter of debate because Paul never explicitly requests his freedom. Other New Testament letters forcefully instruct slaves to obey their masters (Eph 6:5-8, Col 3:22-24, 1Tim 6:1-2, 1Pet 2:18, Titus 2:9-10). Some passages tell masters to treat slaves better—an indication that some Christians treated their slaves poorly (Eph 6:9, Col 4:1). The New Testament does contain several passages that demonstrate resistance to slavery. Slave traders are included in a list of those who are lawless, probably because many acquired slaves illegally (1Tim 1:10). Another passage condemns the immoral trade of luxury goods in the Roman Empire, concluding with “bodies,” a common euphemism for slaves (Rev 18:13). These indictments of the slave trade are unusual but welcome voices in the New Testament. Clearly, slavery existed I'm the time of Jesus but Bible writers portrayed slaves trade to be metaphorical incident which is not. We are not fools |
true2god:you have acknowledged your fellow CHRISTIAN men married to young girl is bad. Why did you have to bring our Prophet into this?. The case is closed since you have acknowledged. |
To be honest, I support their move to disgrace Nigerian politicians but not Buhari and his VP and definitely not on a diplomatic mission like this. Second, to disgrace them, take that nonesense flag and ipob shirts off. You can't claimed to be Nigerians and at the same time yearn for biafra. I definitely want nija politicians beat up abraod including tinubu, obj, and many top guns. |
radautoworks:it could have been owned by grandma who drove 5 times a year and parked the vehicle in her garage more often. You ever read something like this online?
|
sagenaija:Guy, why are you so hypocritical?. Hypocrisy is very bad you know?. Why didn't you question or blame Christianity when Wike demolished mosque in PH?. Most Muslim comments made no reference to Christianity or blame Christianity for Wike's action. Why would you question Islam on the basis of what a man said in Kano?. Besides did you verify veracity of this article?. Be sensible next time. |
Codes151:And you still believe nigeria is "secular country"? |
Newbreed2018:if they catch you, ehen... ![]() |
this article does not prove anything either. There is still more to the incident that we dont know. Several videos of Wike surfaced claiming his state is christian state. A video surfaced from muslim community in PH with evidence of building destruction. Let's wait and see things unfold. Remember politicians tend to defend themselves by any means necessary. There is also evidence of approved building plan posted online. So Wike is only speaking so far without backup. Again, let's wait until all facts come out. If the mosque was indeed built on a wrong land in a wrong zone, Wike adm should provide documentation. But this article says there was no building there. There are signs of debris indicating building was demolished. Correctgist: |

Cheers01:You and true2god should explain this stupidity to us. I said it before and will say it again. Black people, especially Black CHRISTIANs are very stupid and more silly and stupid than muslims. Christian religion is pretty much pro-slavery than Islam as true2god wants us to believe. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1463816627105475&id=961100520710424&fs=1&focus_composer=0 Islam makes sense by far
|
Cheers01:I didn't quote you. |
It is clear he destroyed the mosque because he believes PH is a Christian states. This is the ground excuse he used and he said he doesn't care what boards says https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=939283703087184&id=100010166891318&fs=1&focus_composer=0 Later Nigerian CHRISTIANs will say Nigeria is a secular country. He knows what he's doing. He realized people are coming into Islam in drove. He plans his plan and Allah has His plan and by default, Allah's Plan shall be fullfiled |

Excel70:Walaikum Salaam. A brother mentioned somethign similar in their thread. He recounted his incident when convoy was attacked, he recited ayah of Quran and the hoodlums skipped him and his friend. However, check out this ayah in surah Yasin (verses 8 - 9). It should be recited. |
Newbreed2018:You about to step on toes with these posts of yours ![]() |
true2god:I know that anytime you speak like this (@bolded), you are pained after watching that clip@underlined, what did White people used?. Check the screenshot. You can see general George Curzon's statements show the same hatred they had then is what you have now. That's the genesis of the current predicament for Muslims. Guess what?. He's burning in hell right now Yes, the Jews and the christrinas existed before islam but the Christians and the Jews, unlike the quran/mohammed/allah, did not go about raiding the infidels and turning them to sex slaves and slaves as commanded in the quranYou had the guts to post this knowing that you have horror stories of slavery in Old Testament?. Be ashamed of yourself for a second

true2god:he said Arabs but you said Islam. Don't you think you have mission? |
wowcatty:anyone with common sense would arrive at my conclusion as well, especially people outside of the United States b]Gun law doesn't stop criminals from having guns it only leaves citizens in danger and at the mercy of criminals.[/b] This is why it will never work, 2nd amendment is here to stay and the patriots will defend it with their lives.if UK, Germany etc could have gun free citizens why is it difficult for US to implement law banning gun sales?. You don't seem to get my point. My point is NRA should either pack up or ban gun sales to citizens altogether except law enforcement. Banning includes closing all gun shops in the country which you and I know it is not gonna happen. This is the problem. I told you before when I was in Germany 4 months ago they were just making fun of US. They said no German citizens or anybody owns it carry a gun. Why isn't that possible here? All the people involved with the shooting so far should have been stopped from buying gun but didn't for a reason. The Philadelphia shooter has been a federal informant for years and I hope you know what that meanssee this?. I truly appreciate you brought this up. This days a lot too from my perspective. Do you know that these agencies sometimes allow shootings to carry out before they act?. I don't wanna say more. So if NRA makes money from guns, what has that got to do with protecting their families in homes as the constitution states? You and Democrats are the ones playing politics with human lives by trying to leave Americans vulnerable when Democrats are doing everything to destroy the country and carry out nazi tactics on American soil.I believe this is your wishful thinking. If my thoughts on gun control is on harmony with Dem, so be it but that doesn't mean I agree with Dem. Btw NRA are protecting the 2nd amendment and the best way is to hold tight on to their guns.this is overprotective. It shouldn't be guns. There are many other rights under 2nd amendment. Gun right needs to scrap. You still failed to understand something. At the time forefathers institutionalized right to beat arm, those days it was never automatic military weapons or the likes. It was cowboys gun lol. So it is imperative for politicians to change gun law. This while thing about background check won't work . All the killings the fulani have been doing in Nigeria would not be possible if the farmers and villagers have gun, just think for once!this is rather authority that should get to work and take on criminals. Citizens having guns is tantamount to anarchy. Comparing the gun situation to Atiku, generators and electricity is like apple and orange comparison.you don't seem to understand my analogy, do you? |
Senseless post ![]() true2god: |
Rilwayne001:As in Nigeria should cease to exist and create 3 countries out of it?. If this is the case it is something that appears to need international recognition. Also let's not forget South Sudan was created from Sudan but no significant difference or improvement. Problems are still there. Problems don't automatically go away bcuz of division. America is by far bigger than Nigeria yet they have control over the people. Why is Black man can't govern himself?. Black man is greedy. But if by division you mean going back to regional rule i may agree with that. I still believe in tough laws must be enforced starting with officials. No glorification of any govt officials or seeing them as demigods like tinubu etc. And govt officials overspending on silly things must be investigated like kogi guy spent millions just to bury his mother. This is waste of public funds. He can't tell me that was his money he spent. He doesn't do any biz outside politics therefore it is tax payer money. So overall, it is lack of accountability driving the country into the mold. Nigeria is a big shame by constantly proving itself to White people that Black man can not take care of himself |
Nowenuse:I don't even think this is solution either. Maybe regional govt works but I doubt divisions of the country. Your don't need democracy but sincere military man that we teach govt officials and the people common sense. You see that Nigerians are scared of military personnels. Therefore, that's what they need as Head of State. Just my opinion. |
wowcatty:I said before that you are partisan. Am I not right?. See bolded, both major parties are guilty of it. You being GOP member is the reason you are saying this. Again, I support total ban on guns. I don't believe in the idea of "mentally ill" folks are responsible for mass shootings. How about radom gun violence which is actually very common than mass shootings?. We have seen cases of rival gangs simply battled themselves with guns. Are they mentally ill too?. I can see both parties unanimously agreed to some sort of strict gun control and they agreed on tight background check before buying guns. In my opinion, this is still a joke. According to Mr. Trump, strict gun law (background check) was always been in place. People will find a way to buy guns no matter what. What you failed to realize is NRA and politicians make fortune from gun sales. You don't need Phd to figure this out. Thereofere, it is normal for both parties and you to play politics with people's lives. It is like Nigeria which is having problems with stable electricity. Is it money that they dont have to get this done all these decades?. Is it qualified technicians they dont have to get this done?. Is it maintenance of stable electricity they are afraid of?. Absolutely not. They could not get stable electricity for the entire country because there are elites in govt and businessmen who profit from lack of stable light. Example, former VP Atiku who allegedly owns generator company and many more like him. You expect him to pray for stable electricity?. Likewise, NRA and politicians will not allow gun ban ever. This is why they play politics i:e dems are at fault.. oh no it is republicans at fault" etc All these are parts of the games. Both parties meet behind closed doors and laugh at us. They are, according to Jesse Ventura, "Demopocrites and Republicrites" in reference to two sides of the same coin - two faced liars. |
true2god:see this one accused Islam of being "the most". Yet the religion is close to 2 billion followers. Again, I'm not surprised. Qur'an says 5:85 Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikun , Hadith Thawdan (RAT) narrated "Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘Imminently, there will come a time when the nations gather against you, just as people gather around a feast.’ A man said, ‘Will it be because we are few at that time, O Allah’s Messenger?’ He responded, ‘No, you will be numerous in those times, but you will be as useless as the scum of the sea, and Allah will remove the fear that your enemies used to posses from you from their chests, and He will place al-Wahn in your hearts’, it was said, ‘What is al-Wahn?’, he responded, ‘Love of life, and hatred of death.’” [Ahmad, Abu Dawud] So current situation of muslims is our predicament. We submit to Allah's Decree. When time comes He will take this hardship away. You can say anything you want it doesn't bother me. I can't imagine you of all people would say Islam is there most intolerance religion...hunn. but against I'm not surprised considering your recent attacks on Islam and muslims. As for the article of India, a good student does research. So that's your homework |
Tedpgrass:fine. But public heading im talking about is not jungle justice but euphemism for saying a very harsh judgement should be handed down for criminal upon conviction even if it takes public beheading. You do this once and you get to sit everyone behave positively. Yes, there will be public outcry but it will be shortlived. See Iran, china, Saudi. They execute criminals upon conviction. If Nigeria is able to do to a politician, you get to see a new Nigeria. |
SoNature:revolution will only work if it starts at micro level. Meaning, start crushing traditional rulers, local govt officials, state govt before you take on fed. Taking your revolution to fed will not work without first working on locals. This is why this so called revolution failed |
true2god:I'm I surprised?. See how he's defending Hindus as if he believe in them. Go and read article 370 of India constitution and then return here with your trash |
