OtemAtum:
What I'm saying is that you can put fictitious characters into real places, just like we have in films where Harry Potter is being acted in the UK but Harry Potter is a fictitious character, but where the book is is written is UK. It's a very simple analysis, why are you dancing shakushaku over it like this?

Abegi go and rest.
All these unnecessary shalaye

OtemAtum:


See the screenshot below so you can know that your so called Metropolis is actually NEW YORK CITY, it's just a matter of changing real names to fictitious names to make the film interesting. The film isn't made in a fictitious planet afterall. It is made on earth.

So where is the Biblical fiticious name in the article above?

All these attempts to do cover up legover isn't working

OtemAtum:
Lol, even Superman, spiderman, batman, hulk etc performed their fictitious acts in real earthly places, but that doesn't make them real beings. Try harder next time.

Superman - metropolis
Batman - Gotham
Etc etc

Those sound like real places in your universe.
Stop telling lies mixed with ignorance.

kingxsamz:
Those clowns up there didn't read the article.

Help them read it

BeLookingIDIOT:

100% accurate my foot!
Who's trying to prove your Bible
These are simply archeologists doing their work.
This is an historical town that is referred by other sources that even precedes your bible.
From the article,the description given by the bible was found to be incorrect,and the town was never destroyed as falsely predicted by the biblical Jesus.
These findings further proves what has already been academically established-that the bible is bogus,but of course you religious niggas can't assimilate simple information.

Stop crying.

Who conducted the research?

Awesome!

A Biblical village where Jesus is said to have performed some of his most famous miracles really existed, and today lies in ruins only a mile from the Sea of Galilee, archaeologists believe.

In the Bible, Bethsaida was home to disciples Peter, Andrew and Philip, and was where Jesus purportedly fed the 5,000, walked on water and helped a blind man to see.

Archaeologists have been working for 32 years to find the lost city, which was eventually cursed to destruction by Jesus because residents failed to repent in spite of his miracles.

Now professor Rami Arav of the University of Nebraska says he is in no doubt that Et-Tell, in the Golan Heights near the Jordan River estuary, is the location of the biblical village.








'Ancient sources place several requirements for the identification of Bethsaida,' Aray said,' adding that 'finds in Et-Tell convinced not only me but a group of experts.'

To argue his case, Dr Arav refers to the Roman historian, Titus Flavius Josephus, who describes the location of Bethsaida in his writings.

'Josephus says that the town was in the 'lower Golan' near the estuary of the Jordan River,' said Dr Arav - the same location as the El-Tell dig site.








Researchers have been working at the site for 32 years and now believe it is safe to say it was the site of the biblical city

The professor also highlights Josephus' description of how Bethsaida was later 'advanced unto the dignity of a city' and renamed Julias, after the wife of Roman emperor Augustus.

Bethsaida — the biblical hometown to disciples Andrew, Peter and Philip — was reputedly where Jesus performed a number of miracles.

These included the feeding of the 5,000, in which Christ — following the death of John the Baptist — used five loaves and two fishes supplied by a boy to feed a crowd of his followers.

The Gospel of Mark, meanwhile, tells of a blind man of Bethsaida whose sight was restored after two blessings from Jesus.



At Et-Tell the research team studying the location discovered a temple that was dedicated to Julia, Augustus' wife.

The name Bethsaida translates as 'house of fishing/hunting' and Dr Arav believes this holds another clue.

He contends that the ruins at Et-Tell were once known as Zer, which could also be transcribed as 'Tzed', a Hebrew word that means both hunting and fishing.

This name, he believes, ultimately morphed into Beit-tzed or Bethsaida.

And though Et-Tell is over a mile from the Sea of Galilee – contrary to the biblical description of Bethsaida as a place accessible by boat – the dig site may have been closer in ancient times.

The transformation, it's argued, can be explained by tectonic movements and changing water levels in the lake.

Dr Arav said: 'Basically you need to know that the Sea of Galilee is right in the middle of the Syro-African rift and is prone to tectonic shifts.'

They researchers also discovered ancient fishing equipment among the ruins of the settlement.

Jesus was said to have cursed the village, warning it faced worse treatment than Sodom – a city destroyed by God in the Old Testament.

Although Bethsaida did not meet the calamitous end Jesus foretold, it was ultimately abandoned.

'Fortunately Jesus did not say when the town will be destroyed,' joked Dr Arav.

'So in the 4th century it was abandoned and, without maintenance, the buildings collapsed.'

The professor also threw down the gauntlet to archaeologists who claim the nearby site of El-Araj is the true Bethsaida.

He believes that what they have actually found is a former military camp.



Archaeologists have been working for 32 years to prove that the site of the city cursed to destruction by Jesus once stood at the El-Tell excavation site


'This is an outstanding achievement, but it is not Bethsaida mentioned in the ancient sources,' he said.

'They simply do not meet the prerequisites mentioned above, but they fit perfectly the military camp.

'I would also request that the directors of the dig at El-Araj publish a peer-reviewed article stating their discoveries.

'They failed to do it so far and everything the archaeological community knows about their finds comes from sketchy briefing by journalists in newspapers.

'This is, of course, not enough.'

You guys are truly "anywhere belle face"...if this news is confirmed am sure your next line would be "Progressives dont want room for old PDP members"...

If Obaseki jumps all hurdles and wins, it would become "Tinubu / Buhari prevailed on Oshiomole to forgive him"

How else could you perfectly describe a zombie..

Spot on

You are still young.
You can still start again and still make it.
I have seen many of such cases, even worse.
They still fulfilled their dreams.

Dont be disheartened at all.

You only need to be bold and strong willed.
The Lord will see you through

Buhari loot will surpass Abacha loot.

myboy2111:


State I guess being converted to Federal

Not "taken over management of"

Anyway, it's their way

Ẹki adolor Already has college of education.

Is this not another scam?

My smelly mouth is better than your rotten zombie brain.

Better work better for your 30k stipend. Idiat

allthingsgood:


Close ur mouth there! Unpatriotic folk. Why must u eat importrd product when Nigerian rice is superior

Why must your unpatriotic president travel out for treatment?

Iamgrey5:
Google the separation of powers

Mscheww

Iamgrey5:
I guess you don't know that those offices are independent and Should be held responsible by the public not the president.

I.e. the legislative arm of government, State government etc..

Ọga show us the constitution that allocated the billions you are talking about.

Stop dancing naked

Iamgrey5:
So how do suggest he forfeits Billions by scrapping offices when there's constitutional provision for those offices.

How do you suggest he goes about it ?

FYI, you obviously to check the definition of a dictator in the dictionary to understand the meaning.

Pls show us the part of the constitution That allocates billions to any of the political aides?

Clue: if u can't, don't bother dancing naked around the bush

Agboriotejoye:

Do you know what $1bn is? Calm down with dis lies bro

The guy is a disgrace
Honestly

Iamgrey5:
So are you saying Buhari should scrap the ministries and his special advisers or even the national assembly

I never knew all Buhari had to do to please you is to turn himself into a dictator.

So you don't know the difference between forfeiting billions in allowance and scrapping office?

At first buhari zombies will pretend to be intelligent. Telling billion dollar lies.

Talk with them, they give themselves away.
FYI, buhari is a dictator already

Iamgrey5:
It's obvious you don't know that is not a specialist hospital.

Regardless, you have exposed yourself further

Do you know that 90m dollars is 350×90 = 31bn naira

Please remind me of the total amount budget for ministry of health including salaries of health workers in the next budget

Oh so who is in charge of the budget?
Is it not the cattle rearer they are criticizing?

All his allowances and aides allowances put together can build that hospital in case u don't know.

Besides why did u then tell the billion dollar lie you told initially?

Iamgrey5:
Prove me wrong and stop responding like a robot.

It's obvious u did not read the picture below my post.
It's already disproved.
Act less zombielike and read below

Iamgrey5:
Go and do your research

Our last budget was less than $ 30bn or so

Uk sometimes spend $1bn on building a hospital alone.

Big lie again.

Why do u people freely tell lies because u want to defend failure?

Iamgrey5:
SA is not the mate of Nigeria when it comes to infrastructural Facilities.

S A has a very solid private health sector that majority of the Elites in the country subscribe to.

In Nigeria, even ordinary Nigerians with serious terminal disease are encouraged by our local hospitats here to go abroad to perform surgeries.

So we simply don't have what it takes to build a world class health facility yet.

And the health facility in the Aso rock has a very limited scope, it is more like a clinic

Big Lie!

Carmit:
Ask him where he and his whole family are living.

He is not a hypocrite tho

This is to rig Bayelsa and Kogi elections.
Let's not be deceived

From the government of the hypocrite who said he would abolish first Lady office once he entered power.

Sounds like u are either having
1. Molluscum Contagiosum
Or
2. Genital herpes

Look them up on the internet
Genital Herpes is treated with acyclovir ointment and medication while Molluscum heals by itself after months.

See a doctor for tailored prescription.

All the best.
