BiafraAburi:
They are able to do this because there are no fulani influence in those regions of Africa. Wonder why Ghana and Guinea Conakry don't give those slavish fulanis any room to breath? The fulanis are the easiest group to be used by the colonial masters to hold other Africans down.

The Fulani are the largest ethnic group in Guinea, they are the second largest in Mali and Burkina Faso.

In Niger, they're the fourth largest

Google isn't for decoration

CodeTemplar:
Their job has little impact on govt purse. Tinubu did not father them.

Anyone who makes an idiotic comment like this should be ignored

I only quoted him to highlight the point

This is true, many are yet to be paid

Let awareness be created with this thread

WorldRichest:
Shut up there. Shey na lie the OP talk ni? Your region is the most miserable on earth because of your looting elite. No be the same Islam Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and others dey practice ni? Why are you now so poor and wretched? Who even taught you how to write in English?

You're a lost cause

You're offended by my ability to type in the English language 😄, are you English?

Wait till i write in your native tongue before you question my language of choice

TERMlNATOR:
Why is the north poor?

The most culturally and linguistically diverse region is poor?

The region with the most mineral resources is poor?

The region with more homogeneity is poor?

The region with abundant manpower is poor?

The region with the most fertile and arable lands is poor?

The region that could read and write before the South is poor?

The region with a well documented history stretching back thousands of years is poor?

The only thing poor about the North is the extent of its autonomy under this federal setup

I don't like going tribal but, why did Igbos in the North claim Northern identity when a bunch of jobbers gave them an ultimatum? You don't identify with a wasteland do you?

The North isn't poor, your knowledge of the North is poor.

proeast:
Lol, if we can survive the terrorist called Buhari, then we can survive anyone.

Meanwhile, have it in mind that what Tinubu is doing will actually benefit Igbos the most. Government patronage have never favoured us. We are aggressive capitalists so a free market will be best for us.

Then i guess southeast is sure for Tinubu 2027, unless you're a bunch of ingrates and hardcore tribalists

Tinubu, Obi and Atiku are all capitalists

I wonder why somebody named proeast who you'd think would be concerned about the east, would be disturbing himself about the North

Easterners should be more concerned about their region surviving Tinubu, all these tactics won't make Northerners revolt against Tinubu...if there'll be a revolt, it won't be through your prompting

Relax and watch North be alright

Buhari's photographer did it better

Baddestguyp:
you literally said the High Table and the Marquis couldn't go against Roma if they hid John Wick...cos it would lead to war they were scared of

That means they are powerful

I said the stakes are higher with John being a Roma again and more complicated for the High Table to kill John while in their custody

Baddestguyp:
if they were as powerful as you claimed. Why didn't they do anything before?

I never claimed they were powerful, i said they were defiant and with John Wick in their fold, a quandary

Baddestguyp:
why didn't Roma do anything after Pyotr was killed?

They were toothless and quiet

So why would the High Table fear them

They did when the opportunity came through John Wick and that's the point. They have bite now with John Wick and John's more formidable with an army

Baddestguyp:
why should the High Table have an issue declaring the entire Roma family excommunicado?

The Marquis they appointed killed Pyotr and nothing happened...they were even powerless to retailiate until John Wick did...

So why should the Marquis have problem with them?

John Wick alone had the High Table on edge, John now with the Roma and potentially the bowery king and his soldiers?

I can see why the High Table wouldn't want that

Baddestguyp:
I don't see how the "second rate seat" could protect Wick from the High Table and the Marquis

If we recall, didn't they state that the 12 members of the High Table delegated power to the Marquis?

I think you're overestimating the Roma family.
They admitted they were still under the table.


The Marquis also killed Pyotor and they could do nothing to him...

So what makes you think they could protect John Wick?

Pyotr was killed in retaliation for John killing the Elder. John killed Killa, the killer of Pyotr as revenge and to allow John challenge and kill the Marquis via a duel by allowing him rejoin them

Clearly, the Roma are defiant and are willing to risk the face-off with the High Table

The Roma are under the Table, but it is a whole lot complicated with Wick being an official member, as that would mean declaring the entire Roma excommunicado for re-accepting Wick if the duel is refused

Baddestguyp:
I disagree...

John Wick was more likely to die than the Marquis...
He had thousands of assassins ready to kill Wick...
He kept increasing the bounty...
In fact Wick would have died if not for help from Caine and Mr Nobody...
Wick would have died on his way to the venue

Exactly, he would have died if not for Caine and nobody because the route John would have to take was known and it was lined up with assassins

Baddestguyp:
The same Ruska Roma was referred to as a second-rate seat by the Marquis

The Marquis assassinating John Wick cannot lead to a war with the high table...
If so...then why did the Marquis send people to kill Wick on his way to the venue of the duel?

The High Table is actively against John Wick for his crimes...being under the protection of one family does not stop them from assassinating him

That's why i said accepting the duel will draw him out and refusing would risk Wick going to the Roma and being protected by them

The Roma gave John the ability to challenge for a duel and accepted him into their fold despite him being excommunicado was a crime by High Table rules

The fact that the Roma accepted Wick back despite their member being punished in part 3(the lady whose hands were impaled by zero) for giving audience to Wick, meant that the Roma were willing to face the High table

John had to leave the protection of the Roma to take part in the duel and the Roma had agreed to John risking his life in the duel. It would be a different prospect if John ran back to the Roma and they came to kill him in their territory

Baddestguyp:
why would John think killing the Elder would change anything...
He's spent years as an assassin...he knows how it works...he did it out of revenge

The problem with stating that the Marquis had a right of refusal is that it leads to another can of worms...
What exactly did he benefit from it?
He never had a problem tracking Wick in chapter 3 and chapter 4

It's basically a risk for not enough gain...a risk of Wick walking away after killing Caine and the Marquis paying for it

John Wick was literally fvcked without the duel...it was only a matter of time

It was his best bet of killing Wick and being the one who goes down as ending John Wick

Baddestguyp:
exactly as I suspected...
The point is, it's not about arrogance...
It's because he didn't have a choice

At the same time, the Marquis never had trouble in tracking Wick...the problem was killing him...

A 1v1 faceoff is not easier than a million fully equipped assassins...in fact the face off is far more risky since John had a good chance of not just surviving but walking away freely

So the Marquis had no compelling reason to accept the duel if he really had a choice


For the family...the Marquis called them a "second-rate seat"

the Marquis had little choice as soon as he accepted to act on behalf of the High Table concerning Wick, not because of the duel

You forget that John was no longer a refugeless fugitive on the run, he now had the allegiance of the Ruska Roma, who are bound to protect and avenge him in case of his killing. The best bet fot the Marquis was to draw him out using the duel and try to kill him like he did, if he had turned down the duel, John would have returned to stay with the Ruska Roma which could risk igniting a war with the High Table if they tried to assassinate him while in their custody

Like Winston reminded the Marquis, he's also under the Table

Baddestguyp:
@ MetroLane

Further proof:

The consequence of failure here is him failing to kill John Wick as he was charged to do. Hence, Winston presented an opportunity to the Marquis to directly face off with him and get the job done

Baddestguyp:
@ bolded...John knew killing the Elder would change nothing...

If I'm correct, the Marquis didn't have much of a choice. That's what Winston reminded him of...

If the Marquis could deny the duel easily, what was the point of accepting it then sending assassins to prevent John Wick from getting to the venue?

This means he had to accept the duel even if he didn't want to

John only got to know that killing the Elder would change nothing on getting there. He went all the way there thinking he could

The Marquis had a right of refusal over the duel, Winston only manipulated him to accept it and the Marquis saw an opportunity in that

Accepting the duel meant that John Wick could be more easily tracked and killed, since he would have to make his way to the duel arena. Accepting the duel gave the Marquis an oppportunity to send hordes against John Wick to either kill him or delay him and cause a forfeit by default on the part of Wick, which would mean his death. Plus, the added advantage of keeping a hold of Caine's services if John is killed by other than Caine

Baddestguyp:
It's only on this thread that someone isn't allowed to critique movies

Any critque about the plot or writing of a movie is suddenly met with insults rather than answers

The rule in John Wick is so ridiculous that a family can literally organize to wipe out multiple members of the High Table...wipe out a Marquis or Elder...

And walk away Scot free by challenging the present Marquis to a duel 😭😭😭


But apparently I'm not allowed to point this out because it's a crime to point out a ridiculous plot point in a movie I enjoyed

If i remember correctly, in part 3 he went to the elder in the desert to have the contract on his head, placed by the high table, pulled and the excommunicado lifted

In part 4, he killed the elder because he had refused to fulfill his oath to him (the elder) and the bounty on his head had increased. John thought he could free himself that way

Winston only mentioned the duel to him because, having killed the elder and being wanted dead by the High table, the only way out was the ancient rule

The duel itself inorder to work MUST be accepted, if it's refused, the way is shut

The way out was for the Marquis to be challenged because all 12 members of the High table had signed and delegated their authority to the Marquis. The Marquis had been assigned by the High table, to take out John Wick and all who aided him

The Ruska Roma isn't a random family, it's the group that raised and trained Wick. He was a member before he left them and his ticket was cut by them

Dismissed to which street? To which neighborhood to kill more people?

TenQ:
Both Islam and Christianity agree about the definition of SIN:
Sin can generally be defined as a VIOLATION of God's instructions or command.

Other than this, there is a wide gap between the understanding of the GRAVITY of SIN by Christians and Muslims.

Islam:
A. Muslims usually see SIN as TRIVIAL such that it takes NOTHING from God to OVERLOOK the Sin of a Person.
B. For Muslims, there SIN is in graduations. There are small Sins and Big Sins of which the biggest is Shirk (associating partners with Allah)
Christians:
A. For the Christians, SIN is the most Grevious Offence a Human being can commit AND thus a Sinner CANNOT escape PUNISHMENT.
B. There is NO Big Sin or Small Sin before God as ALL Sin have an INFINITE consequence.

FOR COMPARISON PURPOSE:
In other words (for the Muslim Readers), the Christians are saying that SIN is the VIOLATION of the Kunfayakun (Power of Command or Decree: BE!) of God!
In other words, the Power of the Kunfayakun of God FAILS anytime Sin is Committed by a Person.

1. Sin is a CONTAMINANT
I will have to explain the Concept of SIN in Christianity as it is completely different from the Concept of SIN in Islam. Sin is not just what we have done that is not right but a CONTAMINANT!

The Bible describes our Bodies as Houses or Containers (Cup, Plate etc) for the Spirit of God.

1Cor 6:19:
"Or have ye not known that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?"

Violation of God's Rule for Mankind is called SIN. SIN Contaminate our Bodies just as Human Excrement contaminates a vessel for eating.

2. All Human Beings are Sinners by Nature!
In other words like a drug addict must have cravings for drugs so all human beings have cravings for Sin.
Just as a Piglet inherits non chalance attitude to filth from its parents, as humans we have inherited the nature to sin from Adam.

We were Born SELFISH at birth and this. Is the ROOT cause of ALL Sin.

It is this the REASON why you don't have to specially COACH any baby how to LIE or STEAL or FORNICATE. It comes naturally to us while DOING Gods will is extremely difficult for us.

Rom 3:23:
"for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

We cannot by any means share eternally with God his Paradise

3. Sin MUST be PUNISHED
Every Sinner is called Wicked in the Bible

Prov 11:21:
"Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered."

Isa 1:28:
"And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed."

Rev 20:15:
"And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."


4. The Magnitude of SIN is INFINITELY Large
The WEIGHT of Sin is INFINITELY LARGE:
1. Meaning that there is NOTHING like Small Sin or Big Sin. Sin is SIN.
2. The Judgement of SIN is INFINITELY LARGE. This is why the Judgement of Hell is eternal
3. The COST of Atonement for Sin is INFINITELY LARGE and the Sinner must thus be Punished!

5. The Punishment of Sin is INFINITELY Large
Because the weight of sin is INFINITELY Large, there is NOTHING we can do as humans to right the error of Sin Against God. What is done is done and it cannot be undone.

ONLY God has the Power to take our contaminated LIFE and wash it by HIMSELF with His OWN Detergent and Bleach and to His OWN Satisfaction
This requirement is fulfilled in the blood of Jesus.

Heb 9:22:
"And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission (forgiveness of sin)."


Finally, Jesus said:
John 3:36:
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."


John 6:40:
"And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life : and I will raise him up at the last day."



Questions:
1. Do you have ANY Questions for TenQ?
2. Do you have any correction of the Islamic stand of sin or explanations regarding it?
3. Do you think it is possible to UNDO a sin after it had been committed and How?


I invite you to the Messiah: He's the INFINITE cost of payment for the judgment against your Sin.

His Gift of Freedom is yours through FAITH in God's SOLUTION and turning around to live your Life to Honour Him

This above is what is called:
Accepting Jesus as Saviour AND
Accepting Jesus as Lord
