You lie! How were they able to differentiate us in the jos crises? What about the 1966 progrom and even crises after that?
Our english dialect is different. Stop dragging yoruba into your mess

Jos!!!! Do you know what you're saying

Jos crises was about religion which spears no body once you're a Christian. Now go to places like Agwa-rukuba, New Abuja, feriganda, British e.t.c in Jos and see whether you'll see a core northerner living in those place. in fact the community that northerner dominates most is Mashalasi-njuma include 95% selling Car parts are core northerner which is a rare case because we know Igbo to be the dominant of such business even to the essence that a Southerner Muslim dare not do any how in that place.

deedeedeee2:
Funny enough the northerners never referred to yoruba people. So why include yoruba in your mess? We are not the same now abi?
Nawa ooo!

You're saying this because you don't live in the North.

Like I said, if this ultimatum is actually carried out then it will be cleared to the NL Yoruba's or those who sit in SW and never being to Northern part of the country that Igbo and Yoruba in the Northern part are more united than Igbo and Yoruba in SW.

Because if you have ever been to the North, you will discover that both Igbo and Yoruba in the North always live in the same community rather than tenting their beds in the midst of Hausas. Which means Igbo and Yoruba up north see themselves as one who understand each other.

I was just shaking my head when I see some Yorubas rejoicing over the ultimatum but out of ignorance forgotten that Hausa almajeri can't differentiate between an average Igbo or Yoruba person.

Mind you I'm a Yoruba man but I live in the North!

malton:
It's better to name names than wield blades.

The labelling of Plateau people as "onye hausa" by some of them has not killed any Plateau man and can be excused as of ignorance.

The killing of Plateau people by your lands grabbing kinsmen, however, cannot be excused for any reason.

And for the record, you, Hausa/Fulani, will leave first before even a spoon owned by an Igbo person departs this state.

Nonsense!

Had it been I've not lived in Jos before I'd have said you're lying.

The truth some of my Yoruba people on Nairaland who haven't been to the north before didn't know is that Yoruba and Igbo in Northern parts of Nigeria are more united than coexistence of Yoruba and Igbo in Lagos.

because Yoruba and Igbo are a prey to a northerner devil who sees blood shield as joy. That's why I'm very sorry for those who think if this ultimatum is actually carried out it'll only affect the Igbos.

l had to open this account to tell this story and l know that l will be bashed for this but l really need to get it off my chest.
it was in 2014, that l cheated on him and since then, l have not been myself. l have confessed to Pastors but l can't forget it and my mind keep telling me that God has forgotten about me cos whenever l pray, l find it difficult to concentrate and that's why l want to confess to him.
l know he will send me packing because he said something like that to me and the fear is what is keeping me from confessing to him. l don't want to be disgraced out of my home cos my husband will definitely do it.
l can't blame him for my shortcomings but myself for allowing devil into my home.
l really need your advice for help.... You can curse me but l deserve it for being a loose woman but l seriously need help cos depression wants to take over my life that l think of suicide to escape shame and mockery from people in case he finds out.

Good day madam,
I've tried as mush as possible to read people opinions about this issue of yours before I respond but I'll beg you for one thing Please don't follow the advice of those who say: you shouldn't confess either to keep your marriage or because you don't know maybe your husband's also cheating on you or what ever

I can decipher that you're a true BORN AGAIN which you should know that CHRISTIANITY is a personal race.

So, before I gave my advice, I'll like to ask. How strong is your husband in Christ?
What it his level of spirituality in Christ?

bodejohn:
In my opinion...the slab only does one job...damp proofing, I pressume that's why it's called the damp proof course.

I found this disturbing! why? Oversite concrete not only good for damp proofing but also for preventing floor punching. That's why oversite concrete thickness defers based on the live load coming on top.

It adds to the dead load on the house but does nothing directly to improve the strength of the building.

It's not necessary to add oversite concrete weight to the structure, it can be separated.

From my little research, the are many types of materials used in the dpc, we have only adopted the concrete slab here as the method used in most cases.

This is where you mixed them together, Oversite concrete and DPC are different though oversite concrete can be used as a DPC material.

The dpc majorly prevents upward movement of damp or moisture and seals the inside of the house from ants and some nasty rodents. A three or four inch thick of concrete slab should suffice.

You're partially correct but about the thickness it depends on the load, imaging a floor for heavy duty machine or banking hall. The thickness and preparation must be different.

There are close to 600 cryptocurrencies now. So you buy any amount of bitcoin that you can afford and trade it against other crytocurrencies. Bitcoin is paired against other crytocurrencies just like you have it in forex platforum. The beauty of this is that there is no broker. There are many trading sites. Check www.poloniex.com. Study the site change the chat from graph to candles if you are use to candles. This will help you. God bless.

I'm currently trading on poloniex, that platform is very easy though maybe it's because cryptocurrencies are still young.

No sir! 7 plots equal to 1 acre of land whereas 21 plots equal to 1 hectare. That means 3 acres equal to 1 hectare. Remember, all the above figures are approximates. Kindly refer to my rejoinder to the post you replied. Hope you are clear now? Cheers bro!

1 acre = 4048.825 sq.m
1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m

Now do your mathematics and show me how you arrived at 7 plots & 21 plots respectively.

How will you approximate 2.47 to 3 not even 2.5

golddust6000:
six plot make one hecter, so use your brain count the rest.

You're wrong.

6 plot = 1 acre not hectare

izzou:
Am here to learn
How many plots of land is 211,209 hectares?

2.47 acre = 1 hectare 6 plots = 1 acre
So you have over 3m plots there

Peacefullove:
The next time you address me, dont bring up JW .. for the records you ain't speaking with a JW

Ok...

and so ?

Remember the same bible also called many others like Earth, Love , Tree , Sea etc with IT , yet you would agree with me that they are not persons, are they? , So its still right that IT doesn't denote a person.

See how confused you are, your initial point was that because "IT" was used for the Holyspirit then it means He's not a person.

infact in some cases, all this figures are given personality traits despite been an IT.

Just see how absurd the BOLD sounds. You said "So its still right that IT doesn't denote a person." and you still went ahead to say "all this figures are given personality traits despite been an IT.

It's obvious that you're confused.

Besides, are you saying Holyspirit wasn't giving a personality trait in the Scripture

Now lets come back to the absurd cases you cite above before we know which group this holyspirit belongs , There are good evidences that those you mentioned above are person's on their own and thus showed how the use of grammar should be viewed when it comes to them. and holyspirit doesn't belong to this group, consider this


* The Father , the word father alone indicates this is a personality, a Person, the Jews named him Yahweh . Same when it comes to Son named Jesus, this are personality traits. , John the baptist is an human . he is a person

and when it comes to angels , many times they appeared as humans ( Just as Yeshua did ) further prove they are real persons,

Very funny, see answer below.

Can you show me one single place where either Father , Son or their angels appeared in the body form of an animal? they dont!

Reading this really shows that you lack scripture understand and it's evidently cleared that what you need is Bible study class not this unsound online jamboree.

God appeared in form of burning bush
Devil (Which is an angel) appeared in form of Snake
Holy spirit appeared in form of DOVE and Tongue of fire

What is the different Does it mean that God and Devil are not a person?

funny enough, Your God the holy spirit never for once appear as an human being, When it was sighted, it was in the bodily form of a DOVE . is that a person ? So when You see passages using IT for holyspirit, know where it belong. thats why my first post said " GO FIGURE ".

From here, one can deduce that you failed to grab the symbolic representation of these appearances rather you focus on your perverted understanding by merely seeing the animal figure not the message they passed across.

¬God appeared to Moses in form of Burning Bush indicates that Moses is ready to be empowered and equip for a mission, Fire symbolises POWER
¬Devil appeared to Evil in form of Snake indicates that the deceiver has come, Snake symbolises poisonous and terrible thing.
¬Holy spirit appeared in form of DOVE indicates Jesus comes with peace and love, DOVE symbolises Peace and Love. Appeared in form of Tongues of Fire as an empowerment on the Apostles for a mission just as God did in case of Moses.

Evident amounts in the scripture that Holyspirit is a Person as He can
¬Hear (IS God talking to Himself)
¬Has a will
¬Speak
¬Has OWN initiative
¬Intercede for believers
¬Groan
¬be sinned against
¬Gives life e.t.c

Perhaps you'll say they are all personifications but let the truth of the scripture hit your mind.

Finally, the scripture makes it clear in 2 Corin 3:17-18 that "The Lord is THE SPIRIT"

Peacefullove:
So funny , despite all the sunday jamboree, Most of you don't even read your holy book.

Numbers 11:25 , Holy spirit an IT

more-

" The Spirit it self beareth witness with our
spirit, that we are the children of God:" Rome 8:16, Can you see now ?

If this is true, then it means Jesus, you and the rest of the world are not a person since the scripture refers to them as IT

I always laugh at JWs whenever they come with flimsy excuse as this one.

I don't want to respond to your post before but it's like you see your delusion as truth and taking delight on it.

1. Gender of a word has nothing to do with identity. It has to do with the language. Gender belongs to the language of the word, not to the case of, or the object of the word.
2. Infants (Lk 1:41,44; 2:16; 18:15) and children (Mk 5:39-41) are also neuter in the Greek in exactly the same way Holy Spirit is neuter gender.
3. Girl is a neuter noun in Mt 9:24, 25; Mk 5:41, 42.
4. Angels are neuter pneuma " IT " spirits in Heb 1:14
5. Demons are neuter pneuma " IT " spirits over 45 times in scripture.
6. The word "Spirit" is feminine in Genesis 1:2: "the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters".
7. A masculine pronoun ("He" Greek: ekeinos, literal "that One" is applied to the Holy Spirit throughout the New Testament despite the fact that "Spirit" (Greek: pneuma) is neuter. Is God trying to confuse us? Or is God taking special steps to make sure we understand the Holy Spirit is a person?
8. The word spirit is frequently "neuter gender" when it refers to the Father in Jn 4:24, to Jesus in 1Cor 15:45, to baby Jesus, in Mt 2:8, 11, 13, 14, 19-21,

Such an argument displays a dismal understanding of the Greek language. So should now agree that Jehovah is not a person since a neuter word was used for Him?

People who were referred to as "IT" in the scripture:
1.Jesus is referred to as "IT" 5 times in: Mt 2:8, 11, 13, 14, 20, 21
2.John the Baptist is referred to as IT 8 times: Lk1:59, 60, 62, 63, 66, 67
3.Humans are called "it": "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. John 6:39
4.The men living in the world are called an "its" in John 14:17 " Spirit of the truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him"

I think this is enough for you and your co deceiver.

I'm a Muslim,I do not believe in dis "send it to eleven pple nd miracle will happen in ur life tonight"



Allah is a God of miracles nd wonders, be submissive to him that's all

ma sallam

@bold-Yet we haven't seen Allah performing any miracle or wonder on any Muslim

Hey, don't tell me that Muslims don't boast about Allah's miracles that's why. Then I'll ask, why Allah is boasting about miracles he performed through isa in your book?

Muslims and confusion are like 5&6

I thought Allah said he will send prophet Isa to the world to make Islam the one world religion before judgement day

joyandfaith:
The holy spirit is God’s power in action, his active force. ( Micah 3:8; Luke 1:35 ) God sends out his spirit by projecting his energy to any place to accomplish his will.— Psalm 104:30; 139:7 .
In the Bible, the word “spirit” is translated from the Hebrew word ruʹach and the Greek word
pneuʹma. Most often, those words refer to God’s active force, or holy spirit. ( Genesis 1:2 ) However, the Bible also uses those words in other senses:
Breath.— Habakkuk 2:19; Revelation 13:15 .
Wind.— Genesis 8:1; John 3:8 .
The vital, or animating, force in living creatures.— Job 34:14, 15 .
A person’s disposition or attitude.— Numbers 14:24 .
Spirit persons, including God and the angels.— 1 Kings 22:21; John 4:24 .
These meanings all share the sense of something invisible to humans that produces visible effects. Similarly, the spirit of God, “like the wind, is invisible, immaterial and powerful.”— An Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, by W. E. Vine.
The Bible also refers to God’s holy spirit as his “hands” or “fingers.” ( Psalm 8:3; 19:1; Luke 11:20 ; compare Matthew 12:28 .) Just as a craftsman uses his hands and fingers to do his work, God has used his spirit to produce such results as the following:
The universe.— Psalm 33:6; Isaiah 66:1, 2 .
The Bible.— 2 Peter 1:20, 21.
The miracles performed by his ancient servants and their zealous preaching.— Luke 4:18; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 .
The fine qualities displayed by people who obey him.— Galatians 5:22, 23 .
The holy spirit is not a person
By referring to God’s spirit as his “hands,” “fingers,” or “breath,” the Bible shows that the holy spirit is not a person. ( Exodus 15:8, 10) A craftsman’s hands cannot function independent of his mind and body; likewise, God’s holy spirit operates only as he directs it. ( Luke 11:13 ) The Bible also compares God’s spirit to water and associates it with such things as faith and knowledge. These comparisons all point to the impersonal nature of the holy spirit.— Isaiah 44:3; Acts 6:5; 2 Corinthians 6:6 .
The Bible gives the names of Jehovah God and of his Son, Jesus Christ; yet, nowhere does it name the holy spirit. ( Isaiah 42:8; Luke 1:31 ) When the Christian martyr Stephen was given a miraculous heavenly vision, he saw only two persons, not three. The Bible says: “He, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand.” ( Acts 7:55 ) The holy spirit was God’s power in action, enabling Stephen to see the vision.
Misconceptions about the holy spirit
Misconception: The “Holy Ghost,” or holy spirit, is a person and is part of the Trinity, as stated at 1 John 5:7, 8 in the King James version of the Bible.
Fact: The King James version of the Bible includes at 1 John 5:7, 8 the words “in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth.” However, researchers have found that those words were not written by the apostle John and so do not belong in the Bible. Professor Bruce M. Metzger wrote: “That these words are spurious and have no right to stand in the New Testament is certain.”— A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament.
Misconception: The Bible personifies the holy spirit, and this proves that it is a person.
Fact: The Scriptures do at times personify the holy spirit, but this does not prove that the holy spirit is a person. The Bible also personifies wisdom, death, and sin. ( Proverbs 1:20; Romans 5:17, 21 ) For example, wisdom is said to have “works” and “children,” and sin is depicted as seducing, killing, and working out covetousness.— Matthew 11:19; Luke 7:35; Romans 7:8, 11 .
Similarly, when the apostle John quoted Jesus, he personified the holy spirit as a “helper” (paraclete) that would give evidence, guide, speak, hear, declare, glorify, and receive. He used masculine personal pronouns such as “he” or “him” when referring to that “helper.” ( John 16:7-15 ) However, he did so because the Greek word for “helper” ( pa·raʹkle·tos ) is a masculine noun and requires a masculine pronoun according to the rules of Greek grammar. When John referred to the holy spirit using the neuter noun pneuʹma,
he used the genderless pronoun “it.”— John 14:16, 17.
Misconception: Baptism in the name of the holy spirit proves that it is a person.
Fact: The Bible sometimes uses “name” to stand for power or authority. ( Deuteronomy 18:5, 19-22; Esther 8:10 ) This is similar to its use in the English expression “in the name of the law,” which does not mean that the law is a person. A person who is baptized “in the name of ” the holy spirit recognizes the power and role of the holy spirit in accomplishing God’s will.—
Matthew 28:19 .
Misconception: Jesus’ apostles and other early disciples believed that the holy spirit was a person.
Fact: The Bible does not say that, nor does history. The Encyclopædia Britannica states: “The definition that the Holy Spirit was a distinct divine Person . . . came at the Council of Constantinople in ad 381.” This was over 250 years after the last of the apostles had died.

Typical JWs lies copy and paste.

If Holy Spirit isn't a person then it means Jehovah is talking to himself when the Bible says: "However, when that one* comes, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come." NWT

Here Jesus said, "...what he hears he will speak"... which means the Holy spirit can be communicate to.

Also, here your own Bible version said, "HIS OWN INITIATIVE" Please give me just one inanimate thing that has HIS OWN INITIATIVE.

In fact in John 16 you will see many Jesus' statement that proves Holy spirit to be person.

They don't even search for anything. They just want to satisfy their unbelief.
