Acts 13:8-11

" But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.
And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and He went about seeking some to lead him by the hand."

If we are not brainwashed why are we communicating in european language english?

Africa has been brainwashed. Person can write a book on this topic

Just BEcause these groups were more organised they passed stories from generation to generation. Africa has failed to do this.

Beleive in Jesus but u will be over assuming to think we cannot get to God otherwise.

These middle easterners (jews & arabs) because of the passion they have 50% of the world is praying to their god

willow0803:
May God Forgive you

willow0803:

willow0803:
I pity You, at least my message and intention has been achieved!

willow0803:
okay, so did your ancestors say

bro africa needs to develop and repackage there traditional religion. of all the races

Arab have islam
European are athesits/ christianity
Indian have Hindu etc
Chinese have Buddhism

why is african religion frowned upon? All these other societies are progressing and prosperous compared to africa.

And if africa if you progress means God is blessing u no be so

It is a form of racial discrimintation from other groups that anything from africa is black and evil or inferior

African religon can have a new testament

as far as i am concerned of all the foreign religon christianity is the most advanced, islam is barbaric at its purest form idk much about the rest



LEt us rethink 99% of africa has been brainwashed

Colonalism iss a form of mental slavery just aas bad a physical slavery.

Look at the north today they are in mental slavery to arabs but they cannot admit it because a crase man cannot no know say im done crase na ppl go know


in short let those who want to explore try out

willow0803:
Brother Africa isn't brainwashed, the same westerners you talk about were saved earlier before us, and they preached/spread the gospel as our Lord jesus commanded. i hope you see Christianity the way i see it. the Devil has deceived the gullible but when you serve God in truth and in spirit you will experience him and never look back

willow0803:
Wallow in your misery, when we all return to dust, you will answer for your idol worshiping, mind you this time you wont blame it on ignorance. i pray you are saved before then. Useless ethnic Group!

No wonder there is no progress in south western states! every where is poverty, ogun state is the capital of ritual killings yet you want me to be proud of such tradition. Thank God im Igbo.

willow0803:
Like i said we blame it on marginalization, We are in the month of December, watch the exodus of igbos back to the east to enjoy the money they worked hard for in another mans land, Can any yoruba man make money the way igbos make money in other people's land? visit igboland, you will marvel at the resilience of the igbo man, my question is, who improves the residential architecture of nigeria, Simple, the igbos, Visit southeast, every igbo man in lagos have a mansion in their hometown. i laugh in igbo, continue ranting , it still wont change anything, We are Gods beloved ethnic group in nigeria, and it translates in our progress since the end of the war. you are free to serve your IFA(idols) but at the end we will answer for everything we did on earth, ANUOFIA!!!

nogames:

I dnt blame the north
Am not far frm d truth if I say it seems like they own the country
I only blame the gullible south especially SW

ifenes:
The story of oduduwa falls in the same category and as the story goes,he had unusual abilities. He wasn't from this planet,he like the other anunaki taught the Yoruba the art of Ifa(mysteries of the universe like divination,astronomy, how to sow cloths) which our people use till this day. Even the christian Adam and Eve story claimed their god sowed cloths for them (Genesis 3;21 says; Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them)Same thing Oduduwas did.

The Bible is only popular due to large following,that's all. The stories of out-of -the-planet people is the same with the Native Americans,South Africans, Dogons, South American,including Egypt. I respect Yoruba culture and others too.

ifenes:
I have nothing to say to you. You only know Ifa,can't blame you. I prefer to know everything.

Pupils of MGDSS after school hours...on Tuesday. Photo: Folashade Adebayo
FOLASHADE ADEBAYO, who visited the state, reports

The spectacle inside the Mafoni Government Day Secondary School, Maiduguri, Borno State, was that of excitement and delight on Tuesday. Dressed in their white and blue uniforms, pupils playfully chased one another around the premises. Once the school closed for the day, they trooped out into a bus parked outside the premises, shoving and pulling one another to get a seat.

That these youngsters felt this way was not surprising. For more than 20 months, they had parted ways, abandoning their studies. The state government had shut the school, among other public schools, following the invasion of the Giwa Barracks, Maiduguri, by insurgents in March 2014.

Except for the Federal Government College, Maiduguri, all public schools were closed for academic activities. The authorities had also converted many of the schools to emergency camps for Internally Displaced Persons.

Even at that, terrorist had attacked the MGDSS on two occasions.

But speaking to our correspondent on Tuesday in Maiduguri, the Deputy Director, School Management, state Ministry of Education, Alhaji Dauda Dibal, said schools were reopened in 20 centres last week following improved security.

According to him, some of the centres located in Maiduguri, Biu and Askira Uba, are designated to accommodate pupils from other parts of the state where insecurity is still rife.

With the resumption, however, there have come some new challenges. While it was bad enough that many public school pupils in the state are behind their colleagues from other parts of the country by two sessions, Dibal noted that terrorists killed more than 80 teachers in the state.

Besides, he stated that many teachers in the employ of the state had retired from service.

Dibal said, “Day schools have resumed last week but we have a shortage of teachers. There are subject areas that have yet to be covered and we need to recruit 5,000 teachers to fill the gap. We have submitted a memo to the governor to that effect.

“Some teachers were killed by the insurgents while some retired from the service. There are teachers who did not even go on transfer, they just abandoned their duty posts and we have yet to see them. Pupils’ population has increased because the inhabitants of Maiduguri have also increased.”

Dibal added that some non-governmental organisations had indicated interest in providing solutions to the infrastructure challenges in the schools.

“The state government is trying its best but the level of carnage is beyond our capability. Schools were burnt down with their libraries, laboratories and furniture. The United Nations Children Fund provided mobile schools and toiletries at the IDP camps. We are asking for assistance not only from these organisations but also from the Federal Government,” he said.

Aside from the teachers and facilities razed by the insurgents, the hiatus has taken its toll on the academic fortunes of the pupils, as all of them would repeat their classes. The Principal of MGDSS, Hadiza Abba-Aji, said her school was about rounding off the second term examination last year when it was shut.

“How do you place a pupil who has been away for 20 months? They have to repeat their classes and, even at that, our teachers have to put in extra effort to brush them up. The development was a setback for everybody. There are challenges because this is the first time this is happening in the history of this state,” she said.

Despite these concerns, it appears that the pupils could not be bothered. Umar, a Senior Secondary 2 pupil who claimed he kept busy as a computer operator, said he was happy to be back in school.

“I am not sad that I have to repeat my class. I am only happy that I am back to school and can see my teachers and friends. I was tired of not coming to school but I am happy that the worst is over. I am only hoping that schools will not be shut
