Why the sudden love for policemen whom IPOB terrorists once found joy in killing?

Are you the saying the terrorists from the NW hates killing security operatives? Have they not been complaing of being marginalised?

Ìf we are to follow your logic,no military/security commander should come from the north west has they also have spate of insecurity.

Every president chooses those he can trust to man security architecture but this your reason is the worst ever deduced.

He has found a purpose early in life. He is willing to die for a cause and a wise leader just dispensed wisdom to him on the path to follow and live a fulfilled life at 80/90.

He will grow up to be a scientist. He will not grow up to be a troll wasting away his life online.

Little wonder, I come across a few absolutely phenomenal research work from researchers in Iran.

Notably, a top rated displayed on the University of Oxford website has a published work where researchers used standard reference materials obtained exclusively from Iran.

As I type here, I am sure that you have been brain washed to think that Iran depends on oil but you are ignorant of the fact that oil revenue accounts for between 10 to 20% of Iran GDP. They are a knowledge based economy and have top universities. Underestimate them at your own peril. They love science and engineering a lot just like the China

Your last paragraph on their oil revenue is that way because of US led sanctions on their oil. Don't make it look otherwise.

The Jews extensively interpreted the tanakh which is what we call the old testatment. To them the bible is a total way of life, its their own tradition and culture. To us, it's a book for spiritual guide.

The old testament defines the Jewish culture, that's why it's was crazy to the Jews when they heard Paul telling them the old testament is no longer binding on them- they were going to beat him to death. It's like someone telling u to abandon your Yoruba or Igbo culture for whatever reason.
James was wiser, he told the Jews it's ok to follow the old testament but they should understand the way to God is now the Messiah- Jesus Christ.

Truth is u cant fully understand the old testament without studying how its interpreted by the ancient jews- remember they were the ones that wrote and compiled it. It's their book.
exegesis of the old testament can be found in the mishnah, midrash, targum, Gemara and talmud. Though not all make sense and u need discernment to know what's divinely true.

For example genesis Rabbah midrash claimed Jephthah fulfilled his vow by sacrificing his daughter as a burnt offering to God though condemned for such. I've looked at the passage thoroughly in the book of judges and there's nothing to suggest that's what happened.
So one has to be careful what u take to be true from those books- they are not divinely inspired.

I understand bro. I'm a knowledge seeker too but I'm very careful when it comes to spiritual truth. I'm sticking strictly to the bible for that.

SIRTee15:
It's in the Jewish mishnah- babylonia talmud.

It also said God was displeased with him for punishing Gehazi too harshly instead of correcting him more gently.

The Sages taught: Elisha fell ill three times. One was a punishment for inciting the bears to attack the children; and one was a punishment for pushing Gehazi away with both hands, without leaving him the option to return; and one was the sickness from which he died, as an expression of illness is stated three times in the verse about Elisha: “And Elisha became sick [ḥala] with his illness [ḥolyo] from which he would die” (II Kings 13:14). The root ḥet, lamed, heh, which indicates illness, is used twice in this verse, and it is stated once that Elisha will die.
Tractate Sotah 47a

The point is that u have anointing doesnt give u the authority to misuse it.

I may agree with the last part in the light of the new testament but you should note the old testament was a show of power.

As for the talmud, I know nothing about it neither do I want to explore. Ì had thought we were discussing the bible.

My point is your initial assessment was like a child's idea. Speaking standard English is not a quality of being a doctor. One can be a Nigerian by blood but trained in a different environment where English is not the lingua franca. Besides, even training in an English country does not mean the requirement for you to be a doctor is to know lexis and structures and grammar. That's not the usual requirement, but the technical aspect is what matters. Grow up from this mindset, please.

Where in my initial post was this implied either explicitly or implicitly. Are you sure you are not mistaking me for someone else?

Ask anyone who has written a doctorate thesis if the said lexis and structure are not requirements. When done, we can have a good discussion. Even wrong structures in your undergraduate projects would have your supervisor asking you to make corrections unless you copied someone's project.

emapeteum:
Sorry, it's not. English, being our lingua franca, does it make us the first speakers of the language? I may be a Nigerian, but I grew up in a different environment where English is not the main language of communication. Please, be exposed and stop judging a man by how good his spoken English is.

Quit your "be exposed" nonsense. The issue is: why are chinese and Iranians not using english in there schools as you claimed and I'm pointing out the obvious fact.

Nigeria being a multi-lingual nation had to adopt the colonial language as its lingua franca. So did most African franco-phone nations. If you grew up in say Burkina Faso, definitely, the language would not be English.

Was his PhD thesis done in another language apart from English if he is really one unless you have proof he got it in an environment where English is nit spoken.

You nailed it. They think it's an arm twisting game.

So because you no dey go work, make everyone join you for house abi?

helinues:
Lagos state has been reducing transportation price for long now that they want to increase, it shouldn't be a news except from the mischievous people

13% increase shouldn't be a big deal or

This is not true and you know it. Last hike was 18% effective 17th feb, 2025. There has been no reduction till this current hike to take effect 2nd march, 2026.

The challenge is that whenever BRT hikes their fare, danfo automatically does same and the riple effects spreads to everything.

Wickedfact:
.

You are minding him. Ask him to send his son to lead the protest in Abuja and watch him pick race.

You obviously didn't read else you'd have noticed he said he's in no opposition so why should he send his son to lead a protest.

emapeteum:
Neither is a good expression of English a sign of being Dr. If I had my training in China, would I have a good command of English? Colonial mentality with limited exposure. Iranian President is a doctor, but he doesn't understand English because his training was done in his native language

Those people you mentioned barely had English language as their lingua franca unlike us.

This isnak8n to comparing apples with oranges.

SIRTee15:
Dr Abiodun, abeg forgive her and retract your curse on her. Please let's be Christ like in our actions and doing. Even Elisha whose curse was effective was punished by God for abusing anointing. The gift of the tongue God gave u is to bless life and not to take it.
Besides, na Simi's case wey dem drag for twitter we still dey try micromanage and clear for ground. Abeg we no want another dragging drama. because your own dragging no go funny, even Pastor Adeboye's ear go full.

How was elisha punished by God. Scriptures verses to buttress this wild claim pls.

Sigh…..

Dear brother, I'd love to read your thoughts on what handing over to satan means.

advanceDNA:
So sir, what did paul explain when he mentioned handing over an unrepentant person to satan??

First, where did paul say he unrepentant. Paul only said the corinth church was puffed up and refused to act and scolded them for it

. Repentance can only come whe shown the error of your way. You may need to study about the city if corinth in the then roman empire.

2cor2:7,8 showed by the action the church took what delivering him to satan really meant.

dalongjnr:
They choose evil over life.
May God rest their souls.
I remember when plateau, benue, taraba,borno and nasarawa state Christians where crying of Christians genocide, they were saying contrary.
Let them enjoy the arts of their brothers.
The paintings 🖼 is in the pictures 📸.
Such a horrible thing to see.

Explain how they made that choice. Were you there when they made it?

RIP to the deceased. Sad FG seems weak over this zamfara issue.

advanceDNA:
Pray for destruction?? Lol….
If u saw where i wrote such.. feel free to show me.
But U read where i said its a metaphor of handling an unrepentant member but u chose to cal it what u like. Okay oooooo

Paul explained what he meant by handling him over to satan in his 2nd letter to the Corinthians.

I called him out for asking members to pray for her destruction which is never scriptural. Why you had to quote me on that is what I'm trying g to wrap my head around.

…….. and the most corrupt and dirty politicians are in Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC.

Everyone in APC is a redeemed saint who can’t commit any sin, as long as he remains loyal to their Ogas at the top.

Do you think this is why Tinubu cluelessly said that he has stopped corruption since he hit the ground running 33 months ago

The circle will continue as long as we keep weakening institutions in favor of individuals.

Antoeni:
When Tinubu Called On El Rufai to Answer Question For Him At CHATHAM House, Where Was Nuhu Ribado? Then He Wasn't a Threat to National Security.

All Nigeria Politicians Are Dirty

So because he answered one question for PBAT, he has the right to our telephone conversations right? What if he wrote an exam for him, that means we should all be his slaves.

Lie. Court allows you to understand yourselves better abi the courting was over the phone?

advanceDNA:
Its a metaphor of dealing with the flesh of the unrepentant church member….Na u nor read bible…. But u dey accuse pastor

See person wey dey say I no read bible.
Paul never said they should pray for the destruction of that brother that slept with his father's wife oga. That is definitely acting out of love.

That scripture in Corinthians is now taken literally which is funny.

Even when nairaland has escrow services offered by trusted members and this happened? What exactly do you guys need to be done again.

Netanyahu has blood cancer. Make he use from there dey go. Wicked man. Others shall follow. Trump is already wearing daipers. Na so God dey punish that thing. Biden don die since 2019 . He was even more brutal than this fake Biden. All supporters of Israel shall perish in the lake of fire

Who be your supplier bro. He's really good.

Another question is: why are they not targeting US that aids Israel militarily abi afraid dey catch dem?

You don't do politics right? Explain Russia's case again.

PlayerMeji:
This is one of the things courts in Germany are advocating for. To stop conjugal rights.

Meaning the fact that you are married does not give you rights to the kitty or the candy stick....

Because theygermans are advocating it does nit mean it is right. With them saying we have more than 2 reproductive beings(before bot bans me), does that make them right?

What does the pastor mean that the church should pray for her destruction. Do some of these 0astor even read the bible talk more of studying it?

DoWhatThouWilt:
Instead of condemning the violence going on in his region, he is angry that the south east wasn't bombed

What were you expecting from terrorist sympathizers. He's more concerned his brethren are going to see hello.
