First question again, where exactly in scripture did Jesus say all being are equal

Secondly the apostles were specially chosen by Christ and they are on a different standing to the other 72 you mentioned, if you read the life account of Jesus very well, you'll discover that they( the 12 apostles ) were always distinctively mentioned in all that Jesus did. e.g luke. 6:13 -15
Matt. 26: 18 - 23 .matt.19: 28... and many other instances in the synoptic gospel. Also read revelations. 21:14.

And thirdly how did you arrive at the conclusion that the apostles abandoned all that Jesus Christ had thought them

In all their writings they acknowledged the authority of Christ. First corinthians.1: 10-15. First peter.1:1-2
And many others I know, but cannot quote now

And your third assertion that they ignored the new covenant is also questionable

The primary reasons why the the apostles in the suffered persecution was because of their unwillingness to drop the message of Jesus... They died like their master Christ, a faith Jesus told them that they'll suffer acts.4:13- 20. Acts 5: 25 - 41. Paul said same thing in second corinthians. 11: 23-30

These men were killed cause of Christ I tell you they'd have stopped preaching if they were motivated by earthly gains..

The Bible shows us facts that God loves his children which are both men and women end of story

1. Italians are not Israelites,however, Cornelius, the Italian, was also an Israelite. undecided

2. Leave the Holy-Spirit-red-herring to the side and focus. undecided

There are indeed no loopholes in scripture however your refusal to accept thar decreed by God Himself only to assert your wisdom over His suggests that there are. Basically, God lied and your words are proof of this --- that is pretty much your argument. undecided

3. You say it with every claim you make AGAINST that which God Himself decreed. undecided


1) corlineous was a gentile it was said so in the scriptures. If he wasn't show me so I can correct my understanding

2) Leave the holy spirit how can you believe in Jesus and ask me to leave the spirit of God aside. When Jesus stated that the spirit of God he will leave with us to teach us and show us all things

1. Jesus Christ never made reference to Peter. undecided

2. Jesus Christ, the Truth of God, also pre-warned you that the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth who happens to be subject to Him would you only give you that which is of Him, Jesus Christ and His Kingdom meaning the Spirit can never contradict the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ as revealed in His Law and Gospel. undecided

3. I don't know about that as I was called by Jesus Christ to be a follower of Jesus Christ-- not of Peter and Paul. I don't vouch for any man as I am instead called to teach the Truth of God. undecided

1)He did. Matthew 16:18 Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.

2) Perfect Perfect The spirit of God never contradicts himself, I even explained this when you asked me before. So then why have you refused to believe those led by the spirit like our brother paul

3) Were you called by Moses? No but you believe his words, were you called by John the Baptist? No but you believe their words. Where has Peter and Paul ever said believe in us and you will be saved. Their every work and words makes reference and testimony to the words and works of jesus. For they Peter and paul also like Isaac, Moses, David, Isaiah, e.t.c were led by the spirit of God.




Go over the new testament one more time and ask the holy spirit to guide you. Ask him to reveal to you if they are for him or against him.

1. So you do agree with Jesus Christ then that a mere confession does not get you saved but rather you have to be born-again in order to be saved --- the only way--- from the condemnation of sin aka Death? undecided

2. According to Jesus Christ, the Passover lamb Himself, His blood is meant to render True Life to those who drink it - John 6 vs 35 - 57. Jesus Christ didn't however state that you cannot be born-again without first drinking His blood though. Redemption from sin itself is separate from salvation from the curse of sin aka Death. undecided

3. So you believe that when Jesus Christ said, "Be ye Holy even as my Father in Heaven is Holy," you believe Jesus Christ meant to see the Kingdom in Word and spirit and presence? Jesus Christ's expectation of obedience is moot? undecided

Do you have proof that you are born-again by the way? Jesus said all those who are born-again receive proof of this haven taken place. What proof were you given? undecided

1 & 2) Being born again covers everything we have been talking about. Baptism by water which is the imersion and baptism by the spirit through our faith in Jesus. Our faith in Jesus is believing we are saved by his sacrifice on the cross. Read the book of acts everyone whom converted believed they were saved by Jesus Christ and got baptised

Hebrews 9:22, informs, “almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins


3) The lord said be ye holy as the heavenly father is holy
Where are we going to get that holiness or perfection, it is impossible with man? We don’t have it now, yet we can’t get to heaven if we don’t have it. That is why Christ died on the cross; He shed His blood and rose again to provide righteousness for us.

Another word is iniquity, which means to turn aside from the straight path. Isaiah said, “All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all” Isaiah 53:6

not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit” Titus 3:5

But Isaiah even said that in the sight of God “all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags” Isaiah 64:6

We can't ourselves be holy it is impossible with man, but with God it is possible that's why Jesus died on the cross to wash our sins so we can be holy like our father in heaven.

1. But Cornelius though an Italian was clearly an Israelite as well. This as made clear right there in the same passages you quoted from? undecided

2. I am not the one here who tags God as liar here. Rather it is you who do so by assuming a loophole exits besides that which God had in fact decreed throughout His prophets and proclaimed even by Jesus Christ. undecided

If you really believe God does not contradict Himself them why do you quote verses out of context to insist that He indeed did contradict Himself? Again, you are the one who keeps presenting God as liar by your attempts against His Truth. undecided


1) so Italians are Israelites? How is that possible, Italians were romans. Read the book of acts all over again

2) there is no loop hole in the Bible, God's words are marvelous, every aspect of his words is a testimony of the next one. When you read the Bible ask the holy spirit to guide you. Jesus left him with us for this reason.
Can you quote anywhere I have said anything other than what the lord has revealed through his scriptures?, If there is I want to know so I can make amends

Just so you know, I don't believe in Paul as rather I believe in Jesus Christ and His Truth exists above all claims made by men. Just letting you know that even though I have found no fault yet does not mean there is none to be found in Paul's letters as his letters do indeed contain some contradictory ideas to that decreed by Jesus Christ . undecided

You believe in Jesus means you believe in whatever he says. Jesus him self made reference to the prophets and to Peter.
Have you even actually read Paul's letters? Jesus said he would leave the comforter with us, the holy spirit.

If you look at the lives of Peter and Paul, he testified to the life of jesus

1. Let me get this straight then. Are you actually saying that even though the same Jesus Christ during the course of that very same conversation made clear that it was impossible to be saved without being born-again -- born of water AND born of Spirit--- you believe He, Jesus Christ on fact lied?. undecided

2. You seem to think that lifting verses out of context, you are able to declare yourself above God Himself...is that it? undecided

3. shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked that is what you think righteousness is? shocked shocked shocked shocked Are you again here insinuating that Jesus Christ was wrong in urging you to seek the Kingdom of God(holiness) and then God's righteousness before you can have access to the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God? undecided

1)Where have I said that you can be saved without baptism? Bring the specific quote where I said so?
Jesus said you have to be baptised by water and of the spirit to be saved. I said our sins are forgiven and we are cleansed through the blood of the lamb.

I accept every single portion of the scriptures as life, I won't cherry pick. Why did you then ignore what I said about the blood and insinuate that I called the lord a liar?
Is it that you deny the fact that our sins cannot be saved by the blood of Jesus?

3) Seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, the kingdom of God we seek is his words, his spirit and his presence. How can you seek a kingdom if you don't know yourself if you are worthy to be there?

1. If God is who you serve then you will not only accept what He says as True but you will Trust that He does not lie. God told you in

Exodus 19 vs 6 that His special Nation of Priests will be comprised of the children of israel
□ In Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34 God proclaimed that His New agreement, He made only with the Nation's of Israel and Judah
□ In Ezekiel 36 vs 21 - 28, God explains His plan to restore those whom He has scattered of His Israel
.... throughout the prophets we see that God's plan for an agreement
□ Then Jesus Christ came and declared He was sent ONLY to the Lost sheep of Israel-- cursed and scattered by God to every tribe, every tongue and every Nation of this world --- Matthew 15 vs 22 - 24. Jesus Christ equally warned His followers not to extend the agreement-- that which is Holy--- to the no Israelites, urging them to proclaim the good news only to those who are of Israel - Matthew 7 vs 6 & Matthew 10 vs 5 - 6.

Do we disbelieve God and Jesus Christ because we want to force our way into His Kingdom without His consent? undecided

Peters trance in the book of acts, what so ever the lord has sanctified is clean thus even the gentiles can become children of God If they believe. This corlineous who was an Italian and his house hold were worthy of being called children of God and he poured his spirit upon them.

Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.
Acts 10:34‭-‬35 NIV

Never dare call the lord a liar, for every word of God proves true. Heavens and earth shall pass away but his words shall never pass, the same God spoke through the prophets of old testament and spoke through Jesus Peter and Paul. He does not contradict himself. In the old testament God made a covenant with Israel and Judah. In the new testament the same God revealed to the apostles that whomever the lord has made clean is clean. And we are saved by the blood of jesus

1. My one and only Teacher is Jesus Christ and He alone is also Master over me - Matthew 23 vs 8 - 10 . lipsrsealed

2. Jesus Christ never said that when you confess alone you are saved. Rather He said that every sinner must be born-again in order to be saved from the condemnation of sin - John 3 vs 1 - 21. undecided

3. Jesus Christ never said that you are made righteous when you are saved. Rather, what Jesus Christ said is you have to seek first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) , and then God's righteousness in order that all these things -- the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God --- shall be added. If righteousness was bequeathed you by Him so easily, why would He asked you to seek it after accepted Him?? undecided

You said a pastor isn't God and cannot save, yet all you wrote are taken from scripts fed you by your pastors and mogs and not from the Truth of God, Jesus Christ. Don't you think this means you need to make a decision for yourself first as to who it is you really serve? undecided

1)That's where you miss-understand the scriptures,

John 3:16 one of the most popular verse in the new testament, for God so loved the world......... That whomever believe in him would not perish but have evalasting life.

Hebrews chapter 9 : Neither by the blood of goats or calves but by his own blood he entered once into the holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us.

3) what do you think righteousness is, it's the believe that you are saved by the blood and are now spotless.
No one can on his own decide to be righteousness, but by the spirit of God that dwells in us quickens our mortal bodies and leads us.

The part of disagreement I had with you was when you said that, God only came to save Israel and Judah and that the gentiles are from Israel and Judah whom he scattered.

1. I am afraid Aribasala is guilty of dumping his ignorance on Paul, yet again! For some odd reason, Aribasala does not respect contextual integrity when reading through Paul's letter, the very same mistake those who worship the man Paul equally make. undecided

In Romans 3 vs 10 - 18 Paul quotes from various parts of scripture in his attempt to explain to his brethren that they were in fact the wicked and evil generation to the destroyed by God. Yes, at that point in time, God's plan was to destroy the rest of Israel — the Nation of Judah aka the Jews— and that plan was heralded by the coming of Jesus Christ. Below, we see that what Paul wrote in that passage was of the evil people who were against God.

Romans 3 vs 10 - 12 quotes Psalm 53 where David writes about the evil people who do terrible things.
The above passage clearly says that this prophecy was said of the evil people aka the fools who convinced themselves that God does not exist. You know this from reading verse 4 where God highlights the way evil people treat His people. undecided
Romans 3 vs 13 a Paul references David's prayer against his enemies found in Psalm 5

Romans 3 vs 13 b quotes from Psalm 140 where David prays to God regarding the evil people

Romans 3 vs 15 quotes from Proverbs 1 which is a warning against evil people

Romans 3 vs 16 - 17 references Isaiah's writing on the state of the evil people, whose sins separate them from God

Romans 3 vs 18 references Psalm 18 where David writes of the evil people and the workings of their minds.

As you can see, every single passage of Scripture that was quoted by Paul in that context was written in reference to people who do evil — the unrighteous. And of course, there are none righteous among the evil people for they have all sinned. After establishing his focus in the earlier verses, the evil people i.e. the unrighteous, in verses 19-20 Paul reiterates that the curse on the unrighteous cannot be removed right by the Law(of Moses) — they cannot be made righteous by following the Old Law.

In verse 21, Paul then posits that God has provided for the unrighteous(evil people) a path to redemption by which they can be made righteous and that path is the New Law(The Good News). Paul insists that God makes the unrighteous people righteous through their faith in Jesus Christ and He does so for all those who believe in Jesus Christ, verse 22. Again, Paul insists in verse 23 that all(the evil people aka unrighteous) have sinned and come short of the glory of God and can only be made righteous by following, not the old Law, but the new Law which offers the free gift of grace(Eternal Life). Paul also insists that the unrighteous are able to become righteous in God by becoming free from their sins through Jesus Christ. In verses 25-26, Paul then recapped by saying that God gave Jesus Christ a way to forgive the sins of people — the unrighteous aka sinners whom He came to call to repentance — by way of what Paul refers to as the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

In all, the primary audience or focus of Paul's writing in Roman 3 were the unrighteous sinners in the land, ignoring the righteous people who equally existed at the time. As a matter of fact, at the time of Paul's writing of this epistle, the other disciples of Jesus Christ were probably righteous given they already obtained the Spirit of Truth for a companion long before this. Paul in no way meant this to say that there were absolutely no righteous individuals in the land. Rather, he focused his message on those who were listed as unrighteous and remained under God's curse from the Old Law, and yet to be set free from slavery to sin by Jesus Christ. undecided

2. To reveal that Aribasal's bias against Paul is truly what is at work here since the same Paul, in Romans 2 vs 1 - 16 revealed that righteousness was only obtainable through the doing of that which is the law — the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ—, and not simply the hearing of the law. So far, it seems this man's case is of witch hunt and not real understanding. undecided

1. No sin was committed by his person in that. undecided

2. The term "apostle" refers to followers of Jesus Christ, and it was in no way a unique identifier for merely the first 12 apostles of Jesus Christ. undecided

3. That's probably because Paul's letters are featured most in it. If the collection letters ever written by the other apostles and writers were not lost to us, I am certain Paul's would have been just a handful among the other writings.

4. God's Israel is made up of the people of two Nations, formerly one — the Nation of Israel and the Nation of Judah. The original Nation of Israel was divided into these two nations after the time of Solomon. And during the time of Nebuchadnezzar, God had cursed and scattered the resulting people of the Nation of Israel to the ends of the world, rendering them Gentiles as a result. So, when Paul stated that he was an apostle to the Gentiles, what he meant was that he was sent, not just to his Jewish brothers in the Nation of Judah, but also to the people of Israel chased off by God to all the other nations of the earth. undecided

As a Christian who fears God, is their any need to confess Adultery to your partner? Or should someone just pray to God for forgiveness and move on? Assuming a secret child is involved, should the Adultery still be confessed or should it be sealed after prayers of forgiveness have been offered to God?
Confession to ones partner should be done after guidance from a good and mature Christian counselor.

Please contribute and advise.

A man shall leave his mother and father and together with the woman they shall become one.

Yes he/she must tell the partner because they have defiled God's promises, so they both can ask God for his mercy.

On Friday here I decided to go to a club because I was hot and no girlfriend I will be coming home with something to cool off on.
I got dressed, looked nice and went to the club.

Immediately, I sat the girls serving just brought their book like they normally do and asked me what I care for. I wasn't in the mood to drink beer, just something soft. Then my eyes saw a gentleman who sat opposite me drinking a blue substance from his glass cup. It looked fruity. I asked the girl, what's that? She said ELECTRIC ICE tea. I asked if it had alcohol. She said yes and I could make it harder or stronger. Just exactly what I needed, she brought it and I started sipping with straw. I was feeling the vibe from the bar view.

Finally, I saw my specs to cool me off no long talk.. I proceeded to make payment for the drink before the spirit of dorime enter my body... I called a cab and we went back home. Close to my junction, there was a police stop and search. I told the girl to behave that we are passenger. the cab man asked if I have any exhibit like drugs and the rest I said no. Then he asked me why my tongue was blue. I was shocked, then it occurred to me that the electric ice drink I took not quite long..the blue substance colorize my tongue and now it seems as if I just took a pill they call refno

We were already close to the stop search, police man stopped us check the girl I was with, then asked me what was in my pocket. I say phone. I didn't know the other one was observing me. He saw my tongue with the street light on and approached us. They started searching for the drugs, naked me and searched the whole car. I explained to them it was a drink I took for club. This police don't want to hear. They slapped the back of my head and threw me into their van to the station. I slept cell in pain.

Next morning, they told me to write a statement which I made and a phone call to family and it was passed to friend. One even went as far to buy that same drink yesterday morning and brought it to the station..they saw it but they still threatening they take me to court..which I was bailed with a huge sum for a drink that wasn't more than 15k.

France have always been a war mongering nation. The french are the ones who defined wars thus the reason we have majority of military ranks and terms that are french. Those dictatorship they leveraged on in Africa is true but we must also realize Africans have very weak will power. I am sorry to say this, it's how europeans and majority of the world view Africa. A continent with leaders who don't care, look at all the communist lead uprising African nation used in freeing themselves from Colonia rule. All of them amounted to nothing, because at the end the Savior ended turning up to be a dictator. What you Africans fail to realize is that everyone have a price, so it's always up the leadership to leverage this avenue to benefit their people. Saddam was a dictator and western Ally but when he started making open threat to the royals across the Arab nation, he turned enemy. The same thing with Iran, when the royal family was overthrown by the revolution, they turned enemy because you now have an extreme form of extreme islam who used power to legitimatize it's existence. Putting them on collision course with the west since Israel was now in their full scope.

So when I hear Africans talk like it's a clear cut NATO entering a sovereign a nation and stamping it's authority, I wonder where the ability to reason is. America presence in the middle east is a form of guns for hire. Whereby the royals across all Arab nations use the USA military might in exchange for oil.
To point to evidence Just years back, Iran states Bahrain was a region that belonged to them. It's a trend that will be cascading and will engulf the world with war.

African leaders are the ones keeping Africa poor. The Arabs took advantage with resources they had and struck a deal with the west, which is the development we are currently observing. While Africa have seen leaders who accumulate wealth at the expense of the nation and then ending up stashing it outside.

That is an unrefutable fact, africàns are where they are because they can't fight for themselves.

Almost every country has been at the same situation Africa has been in but most of them are doing well, look at china, in the 1980s Nigeria had a larger GDP than them but now they have twenty times the GDP of Nigeria. Even Korea and vitenam plagued by years of wars are doing better because they know how to work in their best interests.

Africa's problems are not just their leaders, it's the people and systematic corruption deep into their core, they start a movement but take money to shut it down.
Turkey, Russia, socialist Korea, even the US were ruled by bad government at one point in time but the people came together and organized a revolt not caring about blood she'd they achieved their goals.


But one thing is also to be noted, the borders of Africa were poorly drawn, taking Nigeria, Cameroon,South Africa or even congo for example it's too divided ethnically to function as a country, this same issue plagued the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. And it's affecting more than 50% of African nations.
The first step for Africa is redesigning their borders, no country can work without some sort of nationality and similar ethnic background if not it would end in a brutal dictatorship.

Africa is its own problem, corruption, ethnicity and religious divide has eaten the continent to its core and this ideology is passed on to their children and generation making it hard for any meaningful progress. Coupled with bad unqualified leaders, this makes me feel they need to be invaded and re educated to even begin to attempt nation building.l, because it's seems to me that colonial and freshly independent Africa, exempting the brutal racism and torture was better in terms of standard of living

The west is no angel and have bad history but that term holding truth to power is what western government can never escape. Look at all the crimes committed by CIA, despite it took years they where found out and punished by the Americans in form of reducing their budget and their size. They also made it a crime for cooperation to leverage off them by creating laws for access to information and the Senate panel enquiry committee. But look at Russia the opposite, they use their cooperation to imprison you and if there is internal dissent that person involved falls from a window. No information whatsoever, everything is total secrecy or death.

Russia have never quenched their hunger for conquest. also comes in form of causing forced migration, they force conquered European state refugee to far east region of Siberia. And they also populate occupied countries with their own population. Go to Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan all the other stans you will see white Russians as citizens there, which is another form of keeping such nations under their influence. Who have ever held them accountable? They use their population as a pretext to invade those nations with insignificant russian population when it pleases them.

Most of the Donbas region of Ukraine have their population sent into Siberia via forced migration. But the refilling of that region with ethnic Russians was stalled by the Ukraine counter offensive, which caused the russians pouring in to the region to flee back to Russia and crimea ( another conquered region not belonging to Russia).

In south Africa during the apartheid period, western nations rose and literally fought for the rule of law to ensure such form of government ended. In Zimbabwe the same took place. The whites there knew it was impossible to turn a land with it's natives into a new entity because they got no support from western powers.

You might ask didn't the British or the european power did the same to the natives of America and Australia? Yes they did, but all that took place when war, conquest and power were the only language. There wasn't rule of law

The objective here is speaking truth to power, something that can never happen in
communist authoritarian states like Russia, china, Iran, north Korea and couple of others.

You Africans must be vigilant and not fall for cheap propaganda. Europe as a whole have had a Total of 240 wars. Our identity have been wiped out before, rediscovered and back and forth. Our forefathers kept records and passed knowledge down to us. So we know the eternal enemy no matter how they try to paint the picture.

When you see cheap propaganda such as NATO been this and that, ask yourselves who are these nations seeking NATO and EU status? What is their population make up? Lastly if you are poor and have always existed in poverty won't you grab any opportunity to be part of or make friends with people who are well off? Under the Germanic empire the Baltics and parts of Eastern Europe were significantly wealthy.
Under the Soviet Bolsheviks (Lenin and Stalin )poverty was the order of the day because no one could question the total rule of the supreme party. Krushev and Yeltsin tried creating progressive reforms till Putin having the same Spirit as Lenin and Stalin stepped in.

Don't mistake his hunger and thirst for conquer and conquest. I wish Africa for once could have leaders that can create a region with its own power. (Please don't mention gadaffi because he was more into conquest and power, thus the reason why his Arab countries feared him and give the west the greenlight to take him out)

True, the west is no angel but they learn from mistakes. I am aware ghadafi was evil and Hussein was a monster but that's not my issue with them, NATO comes into a country takes out the person or persons they don't like and leave the country in chaos, ghadafi was taken out good, but lybia is now a warzone, Hussein was taken out but Iraq is now a hot bed for Islamic extremists. You don't start what you can't finish if NATO wants to remove a dictator at least put the country in order before you leave, they should treat everyone how they treated Korea, Japan and West Germany.

Coming to Africa, read up the fracophones and how France keeps sponsoring dictators in Cameroon, Chad, Niger and equitoral guinea just to keep them loyal, look at the unjust monetary policy of the African countries still using the CFA Franc.

No country is good, both Russia, US,France and even NATO, they are all after their own interests. Iraq was to take out Hussein but in reality it was to prevent them from selling oil in their own currency.
Lybia was to remove ghadafi but in reality it was to prevent the creation of a centralised African currency and stop their stockpiling of gold.


The best solution for every country both Africa, Europe and Asia is to develop yourselves and have a good military, even Nukes if possible. If Ukraine still had nukes Russia would not dare step foot there.

But you are right the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the Baltic's and Eastern Europe and forever safe because they joined NATO, and if Ukraine had joined NATO before they won't be in this mess. It's no surprise that most nations want to join NATO and I have never seen a country that joined NATO and regretted it.

I am from the Baltics and married to a Nigerian. This is my wife's account and we both use it. I am only letting you know this information because you can never know more the people from that region, just the way I can never know more than you when it comes to Nigeria. Despite been here for over 12 years. No central Asia region joined Russia by choice, they are all conquered and colonized by force. From Caucasian region such as Chechnya, dagestan, Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria,Ingushetia acting as a buffer from Afghanistan, Iran and turkey in the south. To Siberian region consisting of Altai, Khakassia, Tuva to the far eastern region of Eastern region of Buryatia, Sakha. It's why they are asian looking.

The conquest never stopped because they tried converting eastern block nations into satellite states via communism aka Soviet Union. But thankfully it failed, so when you Africans talk about Russia like as a God to destroy the west. We from that region look at you people as ignorant and uneducated folks, who have no idea the millions of blood the empire have spilled all in the name of dominate slavic tribe.

Russia never came to Africa because they never had a seaport, because of that they expanded eastwards and tried expanding westwards via communism. it's why you see the country as the largest land mass on earth, spanning from europe all the way to a region close to Alaska. At least all you former colonies of Western power gained independence, while some of the colonized nations are trapped forever.

You black people should be thankful you can call things out and talk truth to power, this is a right you freely display but such right in the Russian sphere of influence will cost you your life. It's why we will rather die fighting than to be under another Soviet like state.

That's true, it's no surprise why former countries under the Soviet Union or the Warsaw pact hates Russia.
I also know what happened to chechenya, gronzy was flattened to the ground. The reason why Russia is coming to Africa is to compete with western influence here and nothing else.

I am not saying the west is good entirely, I have seen lybia and Iraq but if I have to pick between Russia and US I would pick the US
