JasonNOTStatham: I use a very limited sample to predict, I go online like Reddit and see what Americans are saying or complaining. I noticed most people are requesting for loans in the loan sessions, also people talking about finance and job in the finance, money and related subreddit.
001Lagos: All this coach no dey respect themselves . They think by being former eagles player automatically makes them a legend .
In my opinion, I think the only legend in the super eagles right now is Victor osimhen . Dude single handedly gave his club side Napoli SERIA A cup after about 34yrs. That's what no eagle player has ever done.
I think Victor osimhen is far greater than finding george
How come your legend couldn't single handedly give them the trophy back to back?
WriteerNg: If you bump into this thread for the first time, you'll quickly notice two things;
1. 95% of the highly intelligent arguments here backed up with hard facts are made by Pro-Russian supporters.
2. Nearly all statements made here out of emotion with no logic and iota of truth in them are done by the Pro western folks. When you counter them with proof they resort to throwing tantrums and insults.
Because I don't understand how a human being with a functional brain would believe that a whole sitting President would travel to another country to sign a deal that has already been rejected.
Why not sit back in your country since the deal has already been rejected?
You don't need to be a brainiac to sum it all up. It requires only common sense.
So Putin left his country to China with his large entourage and met Xi. Then they both sat down to put pen on paper on an already rejected deal??
I can't believe these are the people i share this space with.
Not true. So many claims by the pro-Russian folks like US almost invading india amongst others have being found out to be just propaganda. Both groups are guilty of your write up.
Yankee101: Crude extraction capacity of the country is 1.5million barrels per day
One year of full production is 547m barrels
If you sold at the maximum of $100, that’s $54.6bn. Oil majors take a percentage before the rest is paid to. Nigeria. So you see the folly of your argument?
As at 2010, we were doing over 2m barrels per day. That figure fluctuates so it'd be erroneous to use 1.5m as a bench mark. Look also at the period where it was over $100 per barrel.
Kobicove: If a single individual actually steals that much money whether through crude or actual cash then it means other people combined would have stolen $500 billion and Nigeria would be on life-support right now
DeepSight: E go shock una. He said from stolen crude. Do you know the amount of crude stolen from Nigerian waters which is not accounted for at all in our system and budgets?
It is probably more than what the FG gets from crude.
Some of them never bothered to watch the interview. Their comments are based on the headline. They even thought it was warehoused in a Nigerian bank.

Neoteny: What else do Christians do that's not in the bible? Christmas? Jesus never saying he's the son of god in the synoptic gospels? Jesus never saying he came to save gentiles (a Paulian invention), Easter? Speaking in tongues ("everyman heard him speak in his own language", Acts 2, 9-11)....what else do Christians believe and/or practice that's not in the bible? So long as biblical scholars and theologians agree that pilgrimage is a penitentiary, I'll tend to agree with them and not some random internet nonentity who has no clue.
Don't blame me if your books are confused and say different things, which is very common in the bible. What's indisputable is that the bible says Abraham was not a Hebrew, he migrated to Canaan which was my main point. If Abraham migrated to Canaan, then his grandson Jacob was not Hebrew either, making the modern Israelite claim to ancient indigence via lineage to Jacob and Abraham false.
The pharaoh was presumably assassinated at between 35-40, during the "lost dynasties". Rameses II reigned into his old age and recorded his military conquests, etc. If he could keep records of relatively mundane events including talks with Hittites, you'd question why he never mentioned foreign slaves who fled from Egypt, a certain Moses who dueled with his sorcerers, and the 10 plagues. You think such events as the deaths of first borns including the pharaoh's would not be worthy of at least a line or two? How come his tomb never mentioned his death in the Red Sea or any of this history? The unknown pharaoh you mentioned has his story in his tomb; how come Rameses didn't about the Egyptians and their cosmic exodus?
Provide your counter evidence that they were not fighters. Snarky, jejune remarks don't count. Any proof? None? Only your whiny indignation that your bible stories have little historical basis? Is that why you're so butthurt?
Grasping at straws, much? Is this the last kick of a dying strawman argument? So long as academics, people who have the research chops and knowledge, agree that it's basically the same place then you're just another online irritant in a long line of miseducated fools. When your crusaders went to take back the so-called holy land from the Salahuddeens i guess they misjudged their coordinates by a few degrees.
Keep coming back with asinine opinions backed by nothing but a thin filament of your fantasies and manufactured outrage that your beloved Israelis are being unraveled as land grabbers and posers. Doesn't change the fundamental facts:
1. Abraham was not a Hebrew native to Canaan 2. Modern Israel occupies land that's historically also known as Palestine 3. The indigenous people are being ethnically cleansed by European invaders fleeing Europe 4. Israel is an apartheid state committing mass murder and terrorism 5. Judeo-Christians are dumb fukks who are selling out their own belief system just to kiss Jewish ass
Fukk you and have a great day.
Your ranting doesn't make you sound intelligent. On the contrary, it makes you sound senile.
1. So because some of pagan traditions such as christmas that some folks brought into the faith, it is now an "anything goes faith. Don't be a slow poke by diving into waters too deep for you. Isa.9:6 and john1:1 talked about the divinity of Jesus the christ. It didn't start with paul. Jesus said he is God in his statements in John's gospel. I know you never read it but must have an unwise opinion. I asked of biblical proof yet you go ranti g about scholars. Cant you just point to a verse out of the vast new testament verses. Is this so hard o wise one?
2. I never said he was a Hebrew ab initio and I don't know how you keep arguing on about this. My arguement was he's a syrian not iraqi as you claimed. As a nomad, he could have moved to several places. Genesis of the bible showed that but hey, the wise one who was around at his birth time says he's iraqi and I shouldn't argue it. Maybe, you even named him Abram. I even attached a screenshot but I guess you were to busy writing your drivel to take a look at it.
3. I asked for a reason why he was not mentioned and you go on about ramese 2. My question still is: for a people you claimed kept so meticulous record, you even mentioned records about ramses 2, why was there no record about the unknown king, who preceded and succeeded, himexcept what was gleaned from his tomb. Kindly explain o wise one.
4. Lemme hazard a guess: they were fighters because they were part of the Egyptian elite fighting force. Maybe, pharaoh made a decree that all the adult males, instead of making bricks, must join the military service. That's how you and your friend came about the wonderful conclusion they were all warriors. So this is why military age in your opinion equates being warriors. How dumb. Instead of just acknowledging he goofed, your best move was to dig your self out of the hole.
5. The first known mention of Peleset is at the Medinet Habu temple, which refers to the Peleset among those who fought against Egypt during Ramesses III's reign,[2] and the last known is 300 years later on Padiiset's Statue. The Assyrians called the same region "Palashtu/Palastu" or "Pilistu," beginning with Adad-nirari III in the Nimrud Slab in c. 800 BCE through to an Esarhaddon treaty more than a century later.[3][4] Neither the Egyptian nor the Assyrian sources provided clear regional boundaries for the term.[
The bolded is from wiki page about Palestine but you, o wise one, is so sure it is the same location as present day Israel because you're the greatest histrical scholar of all time on Palestine subject who coincidentally lived within that era.
Your quote on crusaders is funny as it has no relation whatsoever to your claim about ancient Egypt calling a place philistia. The jurasalem of today was well know during the time of the crusaders but I guess the wise one didn't know this.
You sir have asinine opinions you can't even prove beyond reasonable doubt. To pretend to be intelligent, you keep running around in circles, raising points never discussed.
"Although all pilgrimage was in some sense penitential, in that it was a response to a sense of sinfulness and the need to seek God's forgiveness, some voyages and journeys into exile were imposed on individuals by their communities as punishment for serious sin."
As clearly stated in the reference, Ur of the Chaldeans is a city in Iraq, not far from Baghdad. "The Arameans were never a single nation or group; rather, Aram was a region with local centers of power spread throughout the Levant"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arameans
Abraham was called "Aramean" in Deuteronomy 26:5; Aramean means Semitic person from the Levant, and not only a person from Syria. Iraq is part of the Levant. Abraham was from Ur, therefore he was Babylonian/Iraqi.
His tomb contained hieroglyphs on his cartouche and the walls with details of his life, which placed him within the 16th Abydos Dynasty around 1,500 BCE...far later than the pharaoh of the time of Moses. The tomb does show records of him, so your assertion that his record was not kept is a figment of your imagination; most pharaohs are detailed in their tombs,
The Pharaoh of the bible during Moses was Rameses II, but nowhere in all of the monuments he built or his tomb (KV7 in the Valley of the Kings) is anything recorded regarding enslaving Hebrews, even though such monuments and his cartouche recorded his military victories and treaty with the Hittites. No Pharaoh after him recorded his demise in the Red Sea, or the Exodus....no other record exists. The library of Alexandria you keep harping on about draws its records from monuments, slabs, cartouches, scrolls, cenotaphs, steles, tomb inscriptions, etc.
"The Book of Numbers further states that the number of Israelite males aged 20 years and older in the desert during the wandering was 603,550, which works out to a total population of 2.5-3 million including women and children—far more than could be supported by the Sinai Desert." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exodus#:~:text=9%20External%20links-,In%20the%20Bible,to%20the%20borders%20of%20Canaan.
Males from 20 years and older are what's known as "military-aged male" in ancient and modern parlance.
Of course it's the same land of judah. It had several names over the years, but "Kingdom of Judah" and Kingdom of Israel" were mentioned on record much later AFTER the place was already known as Falstin.
I've never had a good laugh in a long while.
1. So your link preceeds the Bible, which never asked any Christian to go for any pilgrimage yet you and your youtuber friend insist Christians go on pilgrimage as an act of penance. So by your logic, the finished work on the cross is unfinished. You lots confused Christianity with every other religion you cross path with. Isn't this a chronic sign of ignorance?
2 kjv said aramean while other versions said Syrian but I guess, you'd choose to cherry pick your way through this. Oh.... The screenshot is from the link provided.
3. Trying to deviate again on this? In his discovery, he was called unknown Pharoah as therw was no Egyptian record about him. Everything known about him were mere speculation and not fact. Stop trying to dig your way out of this one. The tomb showed very few records and I ask again, why was there no historical record about him as with other Pharoahs. Explain as the Egyptians are known to keep meticulous records.
4. Military age is far different from being a warrior or do i assume you are as confused as your friend?
5. You are really funny. Even Wikipedia on Palestine says there was no clear regional boundary but you, the wise one says it's the same place based on "trust me bro" levels abi? Really funny.
Neoteny: He quoted several works and scholars as Citations (clearly labeled) including:
a. "Whose Land? Whose Promise" by Gary M. Burge b. "The Invention & Decline of Israelites" by Baruch Kimmerling (a Jew) c. "The Invention of the Land of Israel" by Shlomo Sand (a Jew) d. Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, Professor of Psychology at the University of Haifa (a Jew)
Many others, most of them Jews. Do you know better than scholarly Jews, some of whom taught as professors in Israeli universities?
It's not mentioned anywhere in the Torah that pilgrimage for Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot is an act of penance.
Where in the Bible did it say he's Syrian? Aramaic is a language not a tribe or race. Abraham was raised in Ur of the Chaldeans which is believed by scholars to be close to Baghdad in Iraq. Abraham was indeed a Sumerian and not a Hebrew. He migrated to Canaan.
You're deliberately creating falsehood. He said events of such magnitude as the presence of a large number of Hebrew slaves in Egypt, the 10 Plagues, the Exodus, the parting of the sea, or the death of Pharaoh in the Sea were not recorded by the Egyptians who had a propensity for detailed documentation. Can you provide any proof that any of the events were recorded by any contemporaneous civilization including the Egyptians for any of the events in question? All you have is the biblical claim that such-and-such happened, but there's no historical, archaeological, or scientific proof that it happened.
What does this even mean? He extrapolated the numbers because the bible talked about warriors, not their families.
Judea is a Greco-Roman rendition of Judah, which is actually Yehudah, the Hebrew name of Jacob's son. It was called the Kingdom of Judah back then. The title "kingdom of Judah" was first recorded in the 7th century. However, "the first written records referring to Palestine emerged in the 12th-century BCE Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt, which used the term Peleset for a neighboring people or land. In the 8th century BCE, the Assyrians referred to a region as Palashtu or Pilistu. In the Hellenistic period, these names were carried over into Greek, appearing in the Histories of Herodotus in 5th century BCE as Palaistine."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_(region)
"Palestine is a geographical region in West Asia. It is usually considered to include modern-day Israel and the State of Palestine, though some definitions also include parts of northwestern Jordan. Other historical names for the region include Canaan, the Promised Land, the Land of Israel, or the Holy Land." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_(region)
12th century BCE is older than 7th century BCE
I don't expect a judeo-christian fundamentalist to readily accept any shattering of his delusions.
Keep reading over and over until it permeates the density of your ignorance.
I'll answer your post and show you your crass ignorance. The answers will be on the order it was raised.
1. In the attached screenshot, he implied that Christian's see pilgrimage as an act of penance and I asked where he got such notion from. I hope what he implied did get over your head.
2. Deuteronomy 26:5 calls him a Syrian/Aramean (auto correct changed to aramaic). Some translations called him a wandering Syria implying he was probably a nomad. Your link says he was raised in ur of the chaldeans but yet, you insist he is an iraqi. I need your proof to that effect as your first proof did not agree with your assertion.
3. In 2014, archeologists discovered an unknown Egyptian king called King Senebkay. There was no previous record about his person prior to the discovery of his tomb. Based on your logic about their meticulous record keeping, can we safely assume that this king was an impostor? You tend to forget conveniently that the world lost so much record when a portion of the Alexandra library was burnt but hey, you know it all.
4. What he said in the video was that all the 600k men were warriors and I want to know his source or do I assume you didn't watch the video?
5. You post says the assyrian referred to "a region" as as Palashtu or Pilistu. So in your grand wisdom, that place was the land of judea? Even when the said assyrians conquered israel or it didn't occur to you that it could not be same place? You see how ignorant you sound.
Neoteny: If you watch the video you'll hear reference to historical literary works. You now go ahead and read those works.
You can, in the meantime, debunk any of the claims in the video if you're confident in your knowledge. Are you disputing the historicity of Abraham as an Iraqi? Or that his grandson Jacob was named Israel? Or that the ancient Canaanites are Semitic people whose descendants are the indigenous Palestinians (among whom are jews, Christian and Muslim converts), or that modem Israel was founded in 1947 declared in 1948 by European refugees?
Which point do you have the academic expertise to dispute?
I'm waiting...
Took my time to watch the video you had so much faith in. There were no historical literary work as you claimed. Just mentioned few individuals and that was why I asked for a link to historical works that can be relied on. 1. Where did your acclaimed author get the attached notion from because it was never scriptural. I would so much love to know his source(s).
2. You claimed abraham was an iraqi. The bible says he's syrian/aramaic. I would like to know how you came about him being iraqi if you don't mind.
3. He claimed some accounts in the bible never happened citing Egyptian sources while comfortable never taking into account entire incident that burned down the library of Alexandra. How very convenient.
4. Why did he change the bible narration that "about" 600,000 men came out of Egypt if not because he wants to be mischievous.
5. He called a myth, the historical expulsion of jews from judea after its destruction by emperor hadrian and you want me to take him seriously. The land was called judea prior to its destruction. One of the governors, pontius pilate , a historical figure, was called governor of judea and not Palestine. Care to explain why?
Your video proved nothing and was a waste of my 30 mins.
I need academic/historical write ups not youtube videos that people use to sell so many disinformation.
History points to the name syria-palestine was named by emperor hadrian and that was to spite the jews. If there are contradictory historical proofs, kindly hook me up with the link.
Neoteny: You've no idea about the history of the middle east.
Israel is a country founded in 1948 by Ashkenazi and other European Jews escaping from Europe.
They displaced most of the indigenous population there and forcefully erected an apartheid state that caged in the displaced people. For 76 years these refugees are walled in, harassed, tormented, dispossessed, killed. What do you expect them to do? Lay down and die?
Of course they'd strike. Hamas did commit crimes but Hamas is just an expression of people who were terrorized all their lives.
And before you start that bullshit about how Israel gas always existed or is the promised land, I'll advise you to read some history first:
1. Abraham, if he ever existed, was not a jew. The word "jew" came into being much later as an ethnoreligious collective. Abraham was from Iraq, and asked by Hashem to travel to the land of Canaan.
3. Jacob, the father of the jews, was the grandson of Abraham. His other name was Israel.
4. The Kingdom of Israel Jacob founded does not include the parts of modern Israel such as Gaza, West Bank and many other places.
5. The name Palestine (its variations) has historically been the name of the land even before the Torah was written, as evidenced by ancient literature.
6. The modern Palestinians are the descendants of the ancient Canaanites. Note that we're not talking of religion here... we're talking about a people. Some of these people converted to Christianity and Islam while others remained as jews.
7. The state of Israel, which uses the name of Jacob, forced out the Christian and Muslim Palestinians while absorbing the Jewish Palestinians. They did retain around 2m Muslim Palestinians for the sake of appearance.
This concept of Chosen Ones or covenant or Promised Land is perpetuated only within the 3 Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) as all 3 have a common source. Anyone else outside these belief systems is not bound to recognize this nonsense. In fact, in Christianity the second covenant largely nullifies the first.
We don't believe in a world where some people would take over someone's land and claim some mythical deity promised it to them.
What's happening here is that you people so despise Islam that you're willing to align with people who deny and denigrate your Messiah just because they give a few Palestinian Muslims a bloody nose.
