This is a video showing the total compliance of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on the ongoing NLC strike over minimum wage increase in Nigeria.

Travellers were stranded; both local and international.

Although those at the toll gate at the airport collected money from the motorists, even though they knew there was no flight.

As usual, Nigerians preying on fellow citizens .

In this compelling debate, which was shot in the northern part of Nigeria, an African youth challenges the Nigerian political class on how they have failed in their leadership roles amidst the call for change.

Speaking specifically about how he is disappointed at the performance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who has brought more hardship to a nation that already has a very large poor population despite people trooping out to vote for him and his political party APC, during the just concluded elections held in Nigeria.

Culture / Nicaea Council: A Corrupt Power Play Or A Holy Gathering Of Church Leaders? by FARA4GA: 8:23am On Apr 09, 2023
The Council of Nicaea, held in 325 CE, is regarded as one of the most important events in Christian history. It was the Church's first ecumenical council to establish unified Christian doctrine, and its decisions on issues such as Christ's nature and the celebration of Easter continue to shape Christian doctrine to this day.

The Council of Nicaea, on the other hand, is mired in controversy. Some historians believe it was a corrupt power grab, while others believe it was a holy gathering of church leaders. This blog post will look at the history of the Council of Nicaea as well as the arguments on both sides of the debate.

Background of the Council of Nicaea


The Council of Nicaea was called in response to a theological disagreement within the Church. The Roman Emperor Constantine, who had recently converted to Christianity, convened the council meeting. There was a lot of debate and disagreement within the Church at the time about the nature of Christ. Some thought he was fully divine, while others thought he was a human who had been chosen by God. The debate threatened to split the Church, and Constantine hoped that the council would settle it and establish a unified Christian doctrine.

The Council attendees

Around 300 bishops from across the Roman Empire, as well as a number of theologians and other religious leaders, attended the Council of Nicaea. The bishops debated a variety of theological issues, the most important of which was the nature of Christ. The council eventually affirmed Christ's divinity and declared him to be "of one substance" with God the Father. This decision, which was enshrined in the Nicene Creed, has been one of the Christian Church's most important and enduring doctrines.

Important Players


A number of key players attended the Council of Nicaea, including:

The Roman Emperor Constantine convened the council.

2. Eusebius of Caesarea: A bishop and historian who was present at the council. Eusebius was an Arius supporter, believing that Christ was not fully divine.

3. Athanasius of Alexandria: A bishop who advocated for the orthodox belief that Christ was fully divine.

4. Arius: A presbyter who held that Christ was not entirely divine. Arius was a divisive figure at the council, and his ideas were eventually rejected by the bishops.

Controversies and Legacies Surrounding the Nicaean Council

The Council of Nicaea had a significant influence on the Christian Church. It established a unified doctrine on the nature of Christ and aided in keeping the Church from splintering into various factions. The council also established a number of canons, or rules, that governed bishops' and other church officials' behavior.

Despite its importance, the Council of Nicaea has long been a source of contention. One of the most serious criticisms leveled at the council was that it was a corrupt power play. According to some historians, Constantine used the council to assert his authority over the Church and to advance his own political interests. The bishops who attended the council, according to this viewpoint, were more concerned with pleasing the emperor than with seeking the truth.

Another criticism leveled at the council is that its decisions did not reflect the views of the larger Christian community. Some scholars argue that the bishops who attended the council were not representative of ordinary Christians, who may have had a different understanding of Christ's nature.

These criticisms say, supporters of the Council of Nicaea, are unjust. They emphasize that the council was attended by a diverse group of bishops from various regions and theological traditions. They also claim that the council's decisions were based on careful study of the scriptures and early Church fathers' teachings.

Conclusion

The Council of Nicaea is a watershed moment in Christian history, but it is also divisive. It established a unified doctrine on the nature of Christ and aided in keeping the Church from schism. While some regard it as a holy gathering of church leaders who carefully considered theological issues, others regard it as a corrupt power play that served the Roman emperor's interests. Finally, the truth is most likely somewhere in the middle. Political considerations influenced the Council of Nicaea, but it was also motivated by a genuine desire to establish a unified Christian doctrine.

Culture / The Pagan Origins Of Easter by FARA4GA: 1:54pm On Apr 07, 2023
Every year, millions of people around the world observe Easter as a holiday. It is a time of rebirth, renewal, and joy as families gather to share meals, exchange gifts, and take part in Easter-themed activities. Few people, however, are aware of the fascinating pagan origins of this well-known holiday. This article will reveal the shocking truth about the history of Easter and the surprising historical figures who played a role in its development.

Easter's pagan origins can be traced back to ancient civilizations worshiping the goddess of fertility and spring. Ishtar, who was worshiped by the Babylonians over 4,000 years ago, was one of the earliest known goddesses associated with this holiday. The Babylonians celebrated Ishtar's resurrection on the first full moon following the spring equinox, which also happened to be the time of year when the goddess's sacred animal, the hare, gave birth to its young. In Christian tradition, the hare was later adopted as a symbol of Easter.

The ancient Greeks and Romans observed spring festivals similar to Easter. The Dionysus festival, which took place in late March or early April, was a time for drinking, dancing, and feasting. During the same time period, the Romans celebrated Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. This festival honored the goddess with parades, games, and feasts.

Ostara, one of the most well-known goddesses associated with the spring equinox, is often depicted as a maiden with long hair and a flower wreath on her head. Ostara, according to legend, was responsible for bringing new life to the earth and was associated with the egg as a fertility symbol. The modern Easter egg is thought to have its origins in this ancient pagan tradition.....
