englishmart: Some other verses are also misinterpreted. In your knowledge, what other verses do you think is ignorantly misinterpreted?
Leviticus 24:13–16:
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Bring out of the camp the one who cursed, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. And speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death."
wirinet: Where did they clarify that the woman was not married? Even the lie that they were separated was just damage control. Throughout the show she continued affirming she was married. After getting out, she went to her husband. At a time they brought the husband into the picture and took a photo op of Boma with the husband. It's seems that it was after the husband left Tega that they now came up with the excuse of they were already separated. Mind you separation is not divorce.
They have changed their story so many times that Tega and Boma are having a difficult time remembering their own lies.
Well, I saw it on the reunion show. It also crossed my mind that Tega's husband had even come out after the show last year to say he had issued her the last warning and won't tolerate anymore nonsense going forward.
Strong, easy to maintain, good fuel economy. As such Uber and Bolt guys have been clearing it from every shop.
uncleck: A friend gave me the task of getting a Tokumbo Corolla for him and I have been on it for few weeks now. In this assignment I've come to realize that Corolla is now more expensive than the following vehicles:
Toyota Camry Toyota Highlander Acura MDX Nissan Pathfinder Honda Accord Etc
It's just crazy!!! How can I pay over 3 million naira for a 2003 Corolla? How? I've told him I won't continue in the quest unless he makes another choice.
But why are people so in love with Corolla? I know that the car is strong and reliable, but it's definitely not the only strong and reliable car out there. When we were still in school, whether you scored 70% or 100%, it is "A". So if Toyota Corolla is good at 100%, there are still others that are good at 90%; both are good.
In place of Corolla, we still have Honda Civic, Mazda3, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Nissan Sentra, Camry, accord etc. They may not be as good as Corolla, but they are definitely not too bad. My opinion
Unigrad: Christians should be choke up because they are few in the state? Nasarawa state has majority of christians but been ruled by a Muslim. Go and check the appointments there if it's neutral.
Your information about Nasarawa State is grossly incorrect, the Muslim are the majority.
Really, I do not think that Putin will use any nuclear weapon. It is likely that he is only reminding others why Russia, like every other country, has nuclear weapons
DoctorOlasDesk: Putin is fullish. One of the worst things in life is for a leader. In this case, a military leader is to not deliberately lead your soldiers into sure death. There's a military code of honour, that leaders must lead soldiers to victory, not into certain death. Especially when there's room for alternative action. Putin has failed woefully and he's just a walking corpse at the moment.
Even Hitler, Napoleon never lead their men to assured deaths. Yes they fought wars and their men died, but not in a way Putin is sacricifing them by sending them to death machine, Ukraine
There's a narrative the world is not reporting about. Report suggests over 12,000 soldiers have died. But much more have been lost by Russia. Many of the soldiers that have died are specialists that took years to train in other to specialize the skills needed by their units. Theyve lost Pilots, Sailors, Navy, Weapon controls systems, communication and teach experts.
They've lost all sort of professionals trained to handle and manage so many complex machinery that would take lots of training and time to master.
The new, young and replacements won't master these roles over night. This technically means, Russia is decimating its might, personnel, abilities and strengths in the long run with no single achievement or whatsoever.
The strategy was super effective if only he had stopped she he assembled 150,000 of his men outside the border. He would have gotten whatever claim he was looking for.
Now a whole 150,000 soldiers invaded a country and could not besiege any city. What a shame. Putin should leave the stage. He's finished. Either he does it himself, or he's taken out.
What many of you whose lives are restricted to only one part of the country do not know is that Taraba, unlike the states you listed, has more Muslims than Christians. Google it and see.
SmartProf: Don't mind those insignificant religious critics. If I were the governor, I will appoint those critics into the ministry of baseless criticism. Their religious brainwashed nature can't even allow them serve society justly...they are only competent in serving cows.
Riplogic: My friend was chatting on whatsapp with someone, the person told him he will hack his simcard, transfer his airtime and deactivate his WhatsApp. Then my friend received this message that his line has been linked to this number on the image. The guy now has already deducted my friend's airtime, we don't know what the guy will do next. How can we unlink the guy's number before he do worst.

Wednesday, July 14, 2021 Used to Think “Bianca” and “Biafra” Were Igbo Words! By Farooq Kperogi
Twitter: @farooqkperogi
Don’t laugh too hard at my ignorance, but until fairly recently, I used to think Bianca was an Igbo name and thought any non-Igbo person who bore the name did so out of (benign) appellative appropriation—such as many Black Americans who bear African names.
Don’t blame me: the first person I ever knew to bear the name was Bianca Onuh Ojukwu, the former beauty queen who became former Biafra warlord Emeka Ojukwu’s wife. Through the logic of false attraction, I thought the “bia” in Bianca was derived from the Igbo “bia” that means “come.”
This notion was congealed in my mind because “bia” is probably Igbo language’s single most recognized word to other non-Igbo Nigerians. “Bia” is lexically frozen in my imagination in the trinitarian alternative indigenous name for Nigeria called WAZOBIA, which is formed from the Yoruba “wa,” the Hausa “zo” and the Igbo “bia,” which all mean “come” in English.
In addition, Biafra, the name Igbo people chose for their homeland when they seceded from Nigeria and which new secessionists still cherish and embrace, begins with “bia.” In fact, an Igbo friend and classmate of mine in high school by the name of John Chukwu convinced me that “Biafra” was short for “bia fara,” which he said literally meant “come take” in Igbo.
You can imagine my shock when I discovered that even Biafra that I’d invoked as the lexical evidence for associating “Igboness” to the name Bianca and which my friend told me meant “come take,” isn’t even an Igbo word! It’s a Portuguese word—like Lagos is, by the way.
Well, maybe it’s incorrect to say Biafra is a Portuguese word since it really doesn’t mean anything in Portuguese—like Lagos does in the language. (Lagos is the Portuguese word for lakes.) We do know, however, that Biafra was singlehandedly invented by Portuguese explorers and cartographers to refer to “the Gulf of Guinea stretching from the Niger River delta to northern Gabon.”
But why would people want to escape an odious colonial name like “Nigeria” for another colonial exonym like “Biafra”? If Biafra would be an ethno-state, what’s hard about coming up with an Igbo name for it? Are we that mentally damaged by colonial subjugation that we can’t even name ourselves by our names in our dream ethno-states?
Back to Bianca. I learned that Bianca is actually an Italian name that means “white.” How interesting! If I had taken literature in high school, I probably would have encountered the name in Shakespeare’s “Othello” and “The Taming of the Shrew.”
