mallam abeg,better return to bush,we aint in the 18th century,go and look for TARZAN. Wtf!

It would be foolish to waste time with a dumb educated illiterate who has gone too far off the range of sensibility.

Nobody is talking about prostration here. Check the writer's statement again. Afonjas used their mouth to rundown Obasanjo's tenure and kept quiet when Yaradua came to power. Afonjas protested throughout Jonathan's era and branded him any name that came to their mouth and now,most Afonjas are agonizing due to hardship introduced by Buhari but will never criticize him. Afonjas are the ones struggling to destroy Fayose the rock even when his actions are to save Yoruba people. Afonja people know how to use media and protest when a southerner is in power but whenever it gets to the North,they keep quiet.

Another Igbo with poor comprehension: note the central issue is about lack respect for leaders especially by southerners, according to Reno Omokiri; for which you quickly shifted the whole blame to the Yorubas only.
I disagreed and gave examples of how the Yoruba culture is embed with the tradition of respect for their elders, among them being the acts of dobale and curtsey/genuflection; as opposed yours which apparently has none and therefore felt it ironic that you of all ppl should be in a position to blame others.

My use of prostration was just an example which shockingly appears to be too difficult for you to understand.

Shifting the blame of the current economic situation to PMB is yet again another one of your baseless accusations; because anyone with common sense would have seen that the seed of our current woes was sowed during Jonathan's time, when he presided over the unprecedented looting of this country and wastefully not saving part of our accrued excess revenue against a rainy day such as now.
If not for stupidity, how then could Buhari be responsible for the crash in world oil price and of our over dependence on oil that had been the bane of our economy for over 30yrs? - some of you sometimes speak as if you have no brains.

Igbos doing their best to tarnish Nigeria's with their criminality

Our Problem down South is Afonja people. We from East give respect and support to Southern leaders from Obasanjo to Jonathan and they said we are AGIP and now we are constructively opposing Buhari's regime,they said we are Wailing. Afonjaism is a disease.

Look at who is talking: someone from a culture where a son could use his foot and kick his father to waken him from sleep, daughter would talk back, shout and argue with her parents etc.
The Yorubas you are condemning have a system of dobale, prostrating to greet their elders or curtsey/genuflecting to do the same.

Tell what do you do to show respect to your parent?

Recently, some of you failed to show to the Deji of Akure or something like that; the whole community felt disrespected and stood up behind their royalty till your offensive ppl went and protested to seek forgiveness before peace was restored.

Let me show you how northerners give respect to their leaders, using the example of some famous personalities you may know:

Picture no.1, shows Atiku's in law (governor of Adamawa) sitting on the floor rather than sit on the same level on a chair with Atiku as a sign of respect to him.
Picture no.2, shows Atiku (a former vice president) doing the same before the Emir of Kano as a sign of respect for the traditional royal position held by the emir.
Picture no.3, shows the said emir in turn, in all his regalia, prostrating to greet his mother as a sign of respect to her motherhood.

Lack of respect is unfortunately one of the bane of your ppl, coupled with being dishonest co-travellers who cannot be trusted to be bound by their side of an agreement.

This latter aspect was reflected in GEJ's refusal to be bound by the gentleman's agreement within the PDP on the issue of rotational presidency, after gaining support of the northern caucus within the party to serve only one term - of course what followed is now history, as the north forged an alliance with our brothers in the SW to kick him out.

Wailers will still complain about the bride price

They think its like their own where due over pricing price the guy will be soaking gari for years saving in order to meet the selling bride price - which depends the father's investment in girl: starting from the lowly village illiterate to primary, secondary school lever up univeristy graduate and above.
Meanwhile, the girl is aging and stilling engaging in her usual runs business, attendant with several abortions; so that by the time of marriage her womb would have been over used and transformed from fresh to a tokumbo model - that's why most of the guys elect to test run them, while dating before tying the knot in order to ensure they are not saddled with a non-productive barren wife; unfortunately in the process also producing many bastards as children.

Hatrik:
Luke 19:11 "he added and spake a parable" I guess you missed that or maybe you don't know what parable means.


For Matthew 5:17-19 maybe you purposely stop at those verse there cause you just needed it not because you really want to comprehend it full teaching. read verse 20-48 you rightly said Jesus didn't come to destroy the law of Moses but he came to correct it and fulfill it. when you read it all through you will understand also read Deuteronomy 5 and Exodus 20.

p.s note that there is a difference between the master and the follower so don't take some Christian character to be the teaching of Jesus.

My friend its either you do not know your Bible very well or you are arguing like a headless chicken, thinking that you could confuse me by quoting quite irrelevant verses that have no connection with the central issue i.e. Jesus's endorsement of the Old testament (Mosaic laws) as in Mathew 17 - 19, in order to throw me off along the line.
For example: what has Luke 19:11, the parable of the ten minas or even Deuteronomy 5 and Exodus 20 (which talk of the same thing i.e. the 10 commandments) got do with the central issue?
Yes, indeed Jesus spoke in parables especially in Luke but not throughout because there are several instances where he spoke quite literally.
What you need now in order to buttress your argument is to prove to that Jesus was not speaking directly but actually in parables as per above quote in Matthew.

No, I didn't omit anything in the above; but did notice how you dishonestly inserted the word 'correct' in your own interpretation of the verse in Matthew.

I do concede that there are several versions of the Bible in which certain things have been added or deleted in order to suit its authors; so I suppose you may also be guilty of doing the same or may be quoting from one of the altered versions as against the The King James version from where I referenced the said verses as follows:

Matthew 5:17-19King James Version (KJV)

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven

Note: here Jesus did not say he came to additionally CORRECT the laws, inferring as if Moses made some mistakes which Jesus came to correct; but simply to fulfil them - that addition seems to be entirely yours or at least from another version of the same Bible.

Come and buy my own in Abuja. Very clean, for just N5. 5 million

Upload picture, VIN and brief history?

I am currently interested in a Mercedes E350 2010/2011 model, wondering which will be cheaper between this method and buying from importers in Cotonou/Lagos.
Have been offered one recently for N7.5million by a dealer in Kano but consider it too expensive, so I am looking for cheaper alternatives - your views pls.

They've started "pokenosing" again.

They would never learn.

How is it anybody's business if she's someone's 400dth wife??

Someone says "a whole president's daughter". Hell, that shows they don't let their position get into their heads.

Others would soon arrive to condemn the entire North over what is simply one individual's private affair, meanwhile the cucumber affair is still fresh on our minds oo.

If she's happy, so be it. Congrats to her.

Mehn, that should shut the hypocrites up - let them attend to their cucumber wahala before they cause scarcity of the vegetable.

GRIMMJOE:
This is not wickedness, This is Christianity

Christian church preaching ignorance and barbarism - let me hear someone say stone age or backwardness against Islam or the north again.

LOL, so called advanced ppl once again behaving barbarically and shockingly even with the endorsement of their own churches - yet they have the audacity to call others backwards.

Hatrik:
You've gotten it all wrong my friend. when you read from the beginning of that chapter Jesus was telling his disciples a parable mind you parable are stories with hidden meaning, you can't understand it by reading it literarily. As for the text and parable of the kingdom demonstrate how God will judge you and me. the pounds or coins are the talents God have bestowed on us he will judge us on how we handle it, for his glorify him or not. Maybe you need to read more about the life of Jesus in the synoptics one thing is for sure he is not violent in character or in deeds. your argument on this ground my friend will never hold water.

Are you saying that Jesus did not actually meant those words and that Luke 19:27 was instead quoting him out of context - that it was a parable?

Ok, if so, then pls explain accurately what you think he meant and how the literate version in the Bible was misleadingly out of context.
Furthermore, are you also arguing that Jesus did not endorse the Mosaic laws as expressed in: Matthew 5:17, when he said 'he came not to abolish the Mosaic Law but to complete it'; and Matthew 5:18-19, where he further warned, "warned that anyone who sets aside even the least of the Law's demands, and teaches others to do so, will be lowest in the kingdom of heaven" - are you by any chance say that these too were parables? - if so, then you might as well say, that the whole Bible was written in parables.

From the above, it should be abundantly clear that the Old Testament was fully endorsed by Jesus, therefore any Christian who denies it, is equally denying part of the Christian faith and furthermore such person has no right to malign the Qur'an as violent because is there no book more violent than the Old Testament.
More-so, even the New Testament (which the hypocrites use to gloat over and insult the Qur'an) has been independently researched and still found to be more violent than the Qur'an.
http://www.businessinsider.com/someone-compared-the-quran-and-the-bible-to-see-which-was-more-violent-2016-2

The moral of the story here is: 'those who live in a glass house shouldn't throw stones' -Christian bigots be warned, because there is more of the same to be thrown back at you, should you continue to insult the religion of Islam.

married with her parent's consent abi? your brain is made of dry gin

Yours is apparently fried; she is 18yrs an adult who constitutionally is entitled to make her own decisions - and she did.

doublex:
the 'founder' of christianity(jesus) wasnt a pedophile like the 'founder' of islam,that is why its always mentioned...even though am not christian,those fasts are obvious. #PROUD_EX_MUSLIMAH. Am so happy i left islam,built on the foundation of rape,pedophilia,murder,theivery and lies...

In your ignorance and bigotry, it didn't occur to you that by the same token, it could equally be said that the founder of Christianity was accordingly also sired and born on the basis of paedophilia.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, was betrothed to Joseph (an old man well into his 70's) at the tender age between 12 -13yrs and subsequently raped by the Christian god to bear him his son son - Jesus.

What goes around comes around - how you like that?

Not surprising at all; after all Kanu said 99.9%of them are oloshos - so whats new if they start their profession early.

The story is full of lies:
There was no abduction, the girl was not 14yrs but actually 18yrs and therefore an adult, she married a young man of her choice and not the Emir as reported and also converted to Islam on her own volition.
The Punch Newspaper which first carried the story, having not thoroughly investigated it is now consequently facing the treat of legal action unless it apologises and retracts the publication.
Those who are in doubt should patiently follow this saga and watch how it pans out.

Christian cleric abducts Christian girls from the south as his sex slaves; yet no condemnation of his tribe and religion - shame on those hypocrites that remain silent.

LOL, so called educated/advanced ppl of the south, still steeped in such barbarism; yet calling other ppl backwards.

""He further warned that anyone who sets aside even the least of the Law's demands, and teaches others to do so, will be lowest in the kingdom of heaven.[Matthew 5:18-19]""


from your moniker it's believed you are a muslim and the quote above which is what you read from the bible had said it all against the teachings of Qur'an that will rather ask the followers to subdue and kill anyone who does not follow the teachings of Islam

that is what makes the different btw the two religion,..one teaches love and forgiveness while the other teaches violence and intolerance

Stop playing ostrich and answer the question: are you rejecting the teachings of the Old Testament as not part of Christianity even though Jesus himself clearly endorsed it?
How can anyone read the Bible (old and new testament) and claim Christianity is peaceful?

On the contrary, you lied, the Qur'an does not preach compulsion of the religion; however, on the other hand Jesu did, he actually sanctioned the killing of unbelievers: In luke 19:27 jesus says-bring those who do not believe me here and slay them b4 me!

Broaden your mind, read and get educated in order to free yourself from ignorance and bigotry - don't believe the hype.

carmag:
that's why it's called old testament, judge the life of a Christian living next to you rather than events that took place some 900 yrs ago and that is why Jesus Christ was sent to the world to show us the right path

christianity is a peaceful religion

Are you rejecting the Old testament as not part of Christian teaching?
If so, then you are a unbeliever; because Jesus himself supported the Old Testament's death-penalty provisions when he said he came not to abolish the Mosaic Law but to complete it.[ Matthew 5:17]
He further warned that anyone who sets aside even the least of the Law's demands, and teaches others to do so, will be lowest in the kingdom of heaven.[Matthew 5:18-19]

Stop being lazy, go read and get educated - don't just believe any hype.

Ijaya123:
EFCC had no business with her since she is not the owner of the account according to bank documentations. The suspects are the account holders who have already pleaded guilty to money laundering charges.
She is the one trying to join herself into the case.

She is more clueless than her husband. What a crass for that matter.

The woman is silly beyond imagination, instead laying low and letting the money go quietly, since it was not being linked to her; the crazy woman chose to come out boldly and challenge the authority of the EFCC on the matter - what effrontery.
Her stupidity is akin to the ignorant goat that decided to go to the lion's den to greet him good morning.

carmag:
christianity is a peaceful religion that hurts no one

Then you must be quite quite ignorant of its history and obviously had not read the Bible thoroughly enough, especially the old testament.

Some Christians here are always insulting Muslims for wearing the hijab; names like ninja, masquerade, backward, stone age etc were all used insult them; now that it is backfiring, why are they complaining - thought it is sign of advancement for women to dress indecently and for some to even video themselves molesting a cucumber.
Below are three examples of such indecency, showing: 1. latest dress code to Church, 2. A female pastor preaching with her nipples exposed for attention. 3 How a girl chose to dress to meet the Pope in Italy.

I see over 80% Northern Names There.

Yes indeed and you will also notice the absence of the cry of marginalisation and witch hunting from the other side of the divide that loves to hate and wail.

limeta:
First- we do not ve a united south
scnd -Why do the south unite to band them together.
thd- why do the south resist them

It seems you too are also guilty of missing the point.
No, the message did not presuppose a united south but clearly depicts the unity of southerners in their hatred of the north - preconceived and misrepresented as made up of one tribe - Hausa, against the opposite reality on the ground.
The answer to your 2nd & 3rd questions is simply hatred.

ZKOSOSO:
So what have u just said now that is new? Mr Reno....
If Tafawa Balewa could say in 1946 that ''if the British leave today...we would continue our conquest of the South as started by our great Othman Danfodiyo...till we dip the Quran in the Sea''
..and Ahmadu Bello said in 12/10/1960 barely a week from independence ''that this new nation called Nigeria shall an estate of my great grandfather Othman Danfodiyo ' the minority in the North shall be used as willing tools while the South shall be conquered territory and they must not be allowed rule over their destiny....and any attempt to alter arrangements must be met with BRUTAL FORCE..
Buhari is also here and kicking for all to see and feel the deep seated HATE he has for the South and the minority Northern Christians...

IBB force down Sharia in the throats of Nigerian in 1989....
Abdulsalam refuse to compensate victims of pipeline fire inferno in Jesse that killed over 255 people within hours in 1998 because they Southern minority Nigerdeltans while at same year allocated oil blocs to his folks and friends from the north...
Yar'adua paid all arrears of OIC that OBJ refused to pay in 2008...meaning he had wanted to implement Sharia law on Nigerians as Buhari is playing around it now in all ramifications...
Murtala Mohammed led some Northern soldiers to kill over 3000 adult males in broad daylight in Asaba 10/1967 who even came out with national flag, well dressed to dance and welcome him to their community during the Biafra war..
Gowon screamed to high Heavens that God almighty had given the North power to rule Nigeria forever as they deemed fit...1966 (read the book by Wole Soyinka titled ''the man died''

So why am I citing all these?? Mr Reno Omokri..be informed that the North is one and United foe of the South any day when it comes to politics. They see south with its resources as their ATM counter and property where all their bills will be paid and must be forced to pay or else.....bloodshed...
Most pronounced in this game among them in the North are the Fulani and Hausa and Kanuris....why cos they are almost 98% Muslims.....

Be educated pls.....

It seems you and another poster (GoldCircle) have completely missed the point and message of the entire article; even though the author had taken the trouble to put it clearly across, however, your hatred seemed to have blinded you from every letter of his words.
Should you care to carefully review the article again, you would come across the following self explanatory words - which you completely ignored.

But when we in the South resist them and band them all as Hausa, they have no choice but to fall back on that identity and unite on it to also resist us in the South. You cannot expect people you do not like to love you.

#XtianLove?? .... Rubbish

Even though the Bible is clearly against sodomy and homosexuality, the Christian Church seem to be gradually condoning it; recently the Pope was shockingly even apologising to homosexuals; at this rate Christians may soon be taught that its ok to be receiving their holy Communion through the anus.
