Something's he said are not feasible like map of Biafra, engaging the Nigeria state in all out war without securing the alliances of states boundering her, death of buhari, exaggerating the role of Britain in our polity.

Lol, in fact, he understated Britain's role in Nigerian affairs. Did you really think Nigeria was really ever independent?

Thanks a lot!

gasparpisciotta:
I commend the job well done flashlink.

So many questions but few answers

This is a highly contested topic, especially in recent times.
Please, let it be known that this study isn't to the gratification of the flesh, but to the glorification of God; and in no way does colour, ethnicity or genealogical heritage determine a person's salvation. Jesus Christ remains the ONLY WAY for both Jews and gentiles or heathens (John 14:6).
Also, I'm fully Pro-Shemitic and I acknowledge God's recognition of the Biblical people of Israel.

In order to be as apt and concise as possible, I'll start from Ham, the son of Noah. This is so as to know exactly who the Biblical Israelites are; in subsequent full threads, I'll go into details on Japheth, Noah and those before him.
Christians & most denominations all know and agree (rightfully so) that Ham, one of Noah's sons, was black, and all his descendants were black like him. Ham in the original translation, means 'hot', 'black' or 'sunburnt'.

Mizraim, the second son of Ham (Genesis 10:6), was the father of the Egyptians.
And from the scriptures, since we know that Ham, who was black, was the father of the Egyptians who were also black people, let's now focus on the Israelites, the children of Shem.
I could go on and on about the beginning and how Shem was also black like his brother Ham (Unless you really believe that Noah gave birth to 3 utterly distinct children in colour).


Genesis 50:10-11
[10]And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
[11]And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

���From this verse, you'll notice that the Canaanites (also children of Ham), thought that Joseph and his brethren (Israelites) were Egyptians.
Now, if the Israelites were of the 'middle eastern' or whatever white look, it would have been very easy for the Canaanites to spot them out & immediately identify them, but they couldn't tell or differentiate an Israelite from an Egyptian, because they looked alike, hence their mistake.
So, you'd understand that Joseph and his people, the Israelites, also looked like the Egyptians in colour & other bodily features.
Have it in mind that the Egyptians were black just like their ancestor, Ham.

Secondly, from Genesis chapters 42-45:3, Joseph's brothers who came to get corn, didn't recognize their brother Joseph. You could say that Joseph had already grown so it would be impossible to recognize him; BUT, if Joseph looked like the so-called middle eastern colour of today, at least, it would've aroused the suspicion of his brothers, knowing that he'd be the only 'middle eastern' looking person, but no, they never suspected anything.
Remember, the Egyptians were black, just like their father, Ham (father of modern so-called Africa).


Exodus 2:18-19
[18]And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
[19]And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.

���In this scenario, the midianite ladies thought that Moses was an Egyptian, and referred to him as such to their father. The only way he would've been assumed to be an Egyptian, would only be if he looked like an Egyptian.
Let's not fail to remember that, the Egyptians were black just like their father, Ham (so-called father of the black race).


Acts 21:38
[38]Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

���In this situation, the Roman soldier was shocked that Paul could speak Greek, he mistook Paul for an Egyptian. If Paul was 'middle eastern' looking or any other kind of white, he wouldn't have been instantly mistaken for an Egyptian...but he was.
Remember again, that the Egyptians were black people like their father, Ham...who was also black.

Now, assuming you're still adamant that the Israelites were 'middle eastern' looking, let's not forget that they intermarried a lot with the Egyptians and other descendants of Ham.
For example, Moses married an Ethiopian, Joseph married an Egyptian; in fact, due to the mixing up with the Hamites, their (the Israelites) people would've been completely blackened by the 4th generation;even David married a Hamite (Batsheba), who became mother of King Solomon; and King Solomon went on to marry an Egyptian woman (his first wife) and other Hamites.

If the Israelites were black like the Egyptians, then Jesus, who came through an Israelite woman, and is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, would definitly be black also, that's a certainty.
Therefore, Jesus was and is black, same with the real Israelites.
For the popular scriptures commonly used in describing Jesus & the Israelites in this truth therapy, see list below:
Revelation 1:14-15, Daniel 7:9 & 10:6, Amos 9:7, Lamentations 4:8, Songs of Solomon 1:5-6 & 5:11. https:///kEM1lj9AIP

NOTE: Make sure, when studying these sctiptures, you use the concordance (preferrably Strong's Concordance) to find the root words, and the actual meanings of certain words; this is due to the myriad of translational errors in these scriptures.

Also, remember that Nimrod in the bible, was a descendant of Cush; the Cushites are modern day Ethiopians, and Nimrod was a Cushite who built the tower of Babel in the city of Shinar (Genesis 11).

Shinar later became Babylon, and Babylon is modern day Iraq...in the middle east, and that was the country which Abraham came from, Ur of the Chaldees in that area, which is today's Iraq.

This means that all that area, in the Bible times, was populated and ruled by black people like the Ethiopians(or 'subsaharan African') of today.


SO, WHO EXACTLY ARE THE ISRAELITES AND WHAT IS THEIR STORY?
I'll give out a few scriptures in pictorial form for you to read and have a long hard think on the people in history to pass through these curses. https:///M8DATPm6f3

And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
- Deuteronomy 28:64

And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
- Deuteronomy 28:68

Notice the Ethiopian Sea? https:///QEnv3dIbiZ

Now, why is all this important?

Well, apart from discovering the genealogical heritage of a people, this will help us to understand prophecy rightly, and place the timings better. ���
Hosea 4:6
[6]My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Well, if you look at Luke 21:24, You'll notice that Jesus prophesied that the Israelites will be taken captives into all nations, and THEY WON'T RETURN until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled, and that the city will be trodden upon until the gentiles' time is complete.���
Luke 21:24
[24]And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

The question everyone should be asking is "has the times of the gentiles been fulfilled?"

This is because it is The Messiah's return that will finally put an end to the time of the gentiles on the land of the Israelites.
So, has that happened? https:///IfUD5q2DjD


From the maps, and scriptural quotes, I believe you now know exactly who the Israelites are...
They are:
1. The descendants of African slave trade.
2. African Americans.
A lot of tribes in Africa are also part of Israel, like the Bantu, Lemba, Igbo, Alan, Yoruba, Bamileke and some other smaller ethnicities amongst them.
In fact, if a census were to be done, Africa alone harbours majority of the Israelites, and they'll be nothing less than 300 million, excluding the others who went to captivity in Europe, the Americas and Australia.

If you want to find out how true this is (though they're not 100% trustworthy) you can go on YouTube or any other internet source, to find out the tribes most African Americans are part of, through DNA tests. Most of them fall into the Bantu, Yoruba and Igbo tribes amongst others.

By the way, haven't you thought why Mary & Joseph fled with baby Jesus to Egypt?
Could it be that they could easily hide there due to them looking like the Egyptians?
If they were white or 'middle eastern', they'd probably have been caught by the border before leaving Israel.

There are hundreds of verses that confirm again & again all I've written.
This is a wake-up call to children of The Most High, to dig into the word and find the pure gold of truth.
And I pray that the Spirit of God guides you into more truth.

Let this be the beginning.

For a summarised, historical peep into the unfolding of events of the captivity of Israel, you may find this video highly educative.

Please who is following the Portugal match, I need update

Avedonn:
It doesn't make sense burning South African business or companies operating in Nigeria cos 80% of their workers are Nigerians. If they end their operations in Nigeria, it's Nigerians that'll still be affected.

There's a big difference between what is happening in South Africa and the retaliatory measures some Nigerians are taking. The difference is, the businesses destroyed in South Africa belongs to single or two individuals but South African businesses in Nigeria is an conglomerate that employs thousands of Nigerians. South Africa doesn't need us as much as we need them as it stands.


They also pay huge taxes that contribute immensely to the Nigerian GDP. At this critical moment, we can't afford to loose them. So we should allow government to handle the situation diplomatically.


I also hope this incident will be an eye opener to the Nigerian government to invest and create an enable environment for Nigerians to set up indigenous industries that'd also have outlets in other African countries just like South African companies.

Nigerian government should learn from Donald Trump economic policies. When he came to power, he discovered that there was unbalance of trade between US and China, he then imposed huge tariff on China's goods. China had no choice than to open their market to American goods.

No nation will prosper with exporting only natural resources without exporting indigenous manufactured goods. Nigeria should wake-up and start doing the right thing before smaller African countries like Rwanda and Kenya overtake us economically.

That's not true! The people who will be more affected is South Africa. 50% of their income of shoprite, MTN, DSTV/GOTV is from Nigeria. If Nigerians don't patronize them for 1 month, their economy will go into a state of emergency, and guess what, other African countries would even follow Nigeria if that happens. Don't kid yourself, if Nigeria doesn't buy their products, they'll be crippled because they can't sell outside Africa due to far better competition and services, and the whole of Africa won't be enough to compensate for the loss.

destinyy23:
Overpopulation is not just used in the context of land mass, other considerations like GDP, per capita income are made so leave world bank, IMF out of this. In terms of land mass, Nigeria has more than enough but the standard of living measured through per capita income is below average. It's not world bank's fault that we've been grossly mismanaging our natural and human resources, it's ours. Provided population is in excess of available resources, we're overpopulated. Get your facts right.

What you're saying (which I agree with) is that Nigeria isn't overpopulated, but our leaders are poor managers and aren't even trying to distribute wealth equally, that one is a manmade problem...our resources are more than enough, we just need good leaders to make the country work as you stated above

Spurs will win this one 2-1, Guardiola go hear am today

HigherEd:
Overpopulation is mostly an economic concept. What farms would those 7 billion farm? what water would they drink? They would put so much pressure on everything that everything would die out.

Didn't you see the 55% empty land that will remain?
That's more than enough farmlands for the population. You could use 10% for industries, 10 for farmlands and the remaining 35% for other projects and more infrastructure

Oh my god. We have truly scraped the bottom of the intellectual barrel in this country.

So by your peanut sized mental calculations, there is no correlation between Brazil's huge land mass and its ability to sustain its population?

The United Arab Emirates is actually a resource rich confederation of semi-independent states whose small population of less than 10 million enables an easy redistribution of the country's oil wealth. This is something that is practically impossible in countries with large populations like Nigeria.

In order words, the United Arab Emirates finds it easier to share it's wealth BECAUSE of its small population. If they tried to have a larger population they will end up being just as destitute and wretched as Nigeria is.

Maybe you should go back to your school and ask for a refund of all your tuition fees because you only went their to waste your parents money and waste your lecturers' time.

You are absolutely wrong!
The UAE has better management capabilities not because of the small population, but because of good leadership which Nigeria is really lacking. By the way, would you know if they had oil resources if they were still like a desert? Now you're using hindsight...please use your brain.
Even if they add 50million to their population, they will still be stable because they manage, distribute well and have good leaders who don't care solely for their stomachs.
I just weep for the ignorant sheeple that have been taught lies both in school and in media by propagandist agencies like world bank, WHO, IMF and the likes...
Not everything that is taught in school is true, a lot are lies...that's why God gave you a brain to use your common sense and thinking faculty to deduce the ones that are genuine and those that are lies meant for different purposes. It is only a FOOL that will take everything taught to him/her at school as the truth, unfortunately, this country/world has more of them.
Like I said before, use your brain

OkunrinOloro:
Always funny how stupidity loves company and never wants to walk alone.

Brazil's land mass is 7 times that of Nigeria. More than enough to comfortably accommodate their population of 200 million.

Even with that the country is still facing environmental and ecological challenges with deforestation and it's harmful effects.

The Seun is allowing people to sound off on stupid ideas is getting out of hand on this forum.

You are the one that's actually behaving clueless; yes, Brazil has more land mass, but they still have more than enough resources. The deforestation and ecological damages are being caused by the human beings there, it doesn't affect the abundance of resources they still have...I just don't understand why majority of people are the ones who are always delude and think they are correct, don't you get it?
Look at United Arab Emirates, a country founded on a desert; if that place was still a desert today and I told you that that desert will harbour millions of people and be able to cater for them, I'm sure this senseless thing you wrote is what you would reply me with.
You people should use your God-given brains for once and stop depending on propagandist bodies with their own agendas to tell you things, research for yourself, ALL the facts are around you, just combine all the information you have on different states concerning resources and others, once you use your head for once, you'll discover what's been in front of you all this while

greenmonk:
I don't know if you understand the meaning of resources.
The land mass of Brazil is nearlwten times the size of Nigeria. Educate yourself properly.
This "enough resources for everyone" mentality is the bane of our economic problems.

No, it's not the bane; poor leadership and mismanagement of resources by a powerful few is what is killing this country.
Nigeria's land mass is smaller than that of Brazil but will still be able to accommodate 7 billion people, so how did the bigger countries become overpopulated.
No country on this earth has tapped into 20% of the resources it has embedded in it including China, the resources in Rivers state alone can feed the whole Niger Delta, if rice starts being produced in large quantities in Bayelsa, it will be able to feed the whole of West Africa; and we've not even started talking about oil, gas, tin, coal...even gold and other minerals embedded in the other regions of Nigeria.
My friend, don't be fooled, this country has far far more than enough to survive...even if we reach 1 billion people

Emilokoiyawon:
Overpopulation is not about land mass but about resources. Overpopulation is not a myth, you just don't understand it.

You people are actually the ones who don't understand it. You people have been successfully brainwashed through indoctrination called 'education' into thinking that the resources aren't enough; like I sad before, the resources in Nigeria when harnessed properly and managed well will be more than enough for for more than 2 billion people, that is both solid and mineral resources, not forgetting we have enough manpower.
OVERPOPULATION IS A BIG LIE SOLD TO US JUST LIKE A LOT OF THINGS WHICH SHALLOW MINDS LIKE YOURS WON'T COMPREHEND

Khaleell001:
The earth(our land mass) is wide enough to cater for need,but not for our greed.
Countries like Israel with their arid climate have converted their desert into farm and they are one of the biggest exporters of perishable food to Europe.
We have the resource,the climate and the man power to beat any country up there; but we just lack of sincerity ,laziness in attitude and will and lack of transparent management.

If you say we lack resources, it means you don't really know anything.
Even in my place Edo state, The granite we have alone,is enough to cater for the whole Niger delta IF properly managed.
But you know how we do things in this country.

We are not even taking about coal, zinc, bitumen, iron and many other resources aside farming that can even fetch us more.
Whoever is still saying we lack natural resources is just simply lying through their teeth.

Only farming alone can take us there, but lack of trust, greed, and transparency are some if our major bane.

We have countries with lesser resources doing more.
Brazil is more populated than Nigeria, but it has achieved more with less when compared to Nigeria.

There are many countries we ought to be competing with today,.

I'm happy you understand; it's sad that majority of Nigerians including the ones on this thread have been brainwashed by the western world and politicians into thinking that the resources are less than enough; if the people on this thread had a little understanding and sense like you, we would have started positively at least...spot on comment!

Kyrx:
Its not just about the space supporting the population, its about,the resources to cater for it.

And of course, those resources are finite in supply, thereby future projections on how to use those scarce resources to support the population are also considered.

Nigeria housing a billion would be a genocide.

There is more than enough resources in Nigeria, both the renewable ones and the untapped ones especially in the North; the north has a lot of solid minerals, don't forget that Nigeria isn't really tapping into the gas sector, it's mainly the oil sector.
The resources in Nigeria is more than enough for over 2 billion people...that's the simple truth, anything any politician says is just political and meant for his/her selfish goals; we just need prudent leaders that allocate wisely

The way people reason these days makes me wonder if I am the only person with a high IQ in this country

Seriously...is this your contribution?
You're the one that actually portrays an empty brain; please contribute meaningfully insteadbof spouting nonsense

LordIsaac:
With respect to scarce resources, it isn't... There's the question of GDP and Purchasing power parity.

All those don't remotely contribute to overpopulation; and as for resources, the resources in Nigeria is more than enough to feed over 2billion people when properly managed and used in production of other amenities to make life easier.
The 55% of unused land could be scattered across different locations in the country which could be used for farmlands, industries and so many other things; all that is needed are prudent leaders that plan well

Nigeria- Demographic facts:
Total area square mile- 356,669km
Estimated world population- 7,000,000,000
Area for a family of 4 (square mile)- 0.00008971
Estimated area for 7billion people (sq. mile)- 156,992.5
Percentage of unused land- 55.98%
Percentage of used land- 45.02%

The facts are:
1. First, let us start by assuming that there are 7billion people in the world today.

2. If the 7billion people should move into Nigeria, a family of 4 persons would comfortably be accommodated within a land area of 2,500 square feet(0.00008971 sq. miles)

Now, imagine a country of just 200million people


The Big Question is:
Where then is the overpopulation?

Overpopulation is at best a scam.
