That would be the Jewish Carpenter/ Rabbi called Yeshua or Jesus or as you may prefer, ISA. Now, can you answer my question?

It might assist you to note that I am not Christian.

You asked me for knowledge, and I freely shared it with you. Instead of engaging in meaningful dialogue or showing appreciation, you immediately responded with unrelated questions that had no connection to our initial discussion.

I often wonder what kind of training some people receive.

I don't think he's coming back 😮‍💨. He can only score cheap points with Max. Once he knows you are well versed in the Hadiths and Quran 😅...He will backtrack.

He is not the only one that's how they all behave. The way you hinted him that you were not a Christian put his ’appeals’ to rest😅. Now, he has to be objective or use LLMs to reply you. Let's just see how it goes. He might surprise us😳.

Do you really consider DeepSight to be on the same intellectual level as MaxInDHouse or some of the other individuals I engage with here?

Because frankly, MaxInDHouse is among the most intelligent contributors on Nairaland. In contrast, DeepSight does not even qualify for consideration when I rate people based on intellect.

That is precisely why I refuse to bring myself down to his level — instead, I choose to engage with those whose reasoning and arguments are worth my time.

Ok,let's see how long you'll keep standing on your feet. But I can't remember telling you that I need those people to come set up a base in Nigeria, when the Israeli were bombing houti leaders I didn't see Israeli setting up a base in Yemen. All I'm saying is for a shared intelligent gathering and manpower to help eliminate our internal compromised... How is this a crime?
But I know your people won't allow such cos you are happy killing innocent souls all in the name of politics.
You blame the west but tomorrow you'll run to them to buy turcano aircraft, so according to you those westerns sell weapons to you and also sell to the terrorist but those terrorists knows how to use same weapons more than your army that is why they keep whooping their asses.

You’re only exposing how shallow your reasoning is. First you say you don’t want foreign bases, then you beg for “shared intelligence and manpower.” Do you even hear yourself? That’s exactly how vassalage begins — once you can’t secure your own house without outsiders, you’ve surrendered sovereignty in all but name.

And stop dragging Israel into your confusion. Yemen is in ruins precisely because foreign powers interfered instead of letting Yemenis resolve their own destiny. The Houthi are still standing, still fighting, still launching missiles into Riyadh and Tel Aviv despite all that foreign “intelligence.” If foreign interference was the magic solution you dream of, Yemen would be stable by now — but instead, it’s rubble.

As for your cowardly accusation about “killing innocents in the name of politics,” that’s laughable coming from someone defending the same Western powers whose bombs wiped out entire wedding parties in Afghanistan, starved children in Yemen, and turned Libya into a slave market. Save your fake moral outrage — the blood trail of your Western masters makes anything in Nigeria look like a drop in the ocean.

And yes, Nigeria buys aircraft and weapons from the West — because decades of puppets like you sabotaged local industries instead of building self-reliance. Buying hardware doesn’t mean you are slaves; begging for foreign soldiers to fight your battles does. But you can’t grasp that difference because you’ve trained your mind to crawl instead of stand.

You keep mocking our soldiers as if incompetence is genetic. No — incompetence is the product of a system built to depend on foreigners instead of creating its own doctrine, industry, and resilience. And that is exactly the mentality you are defending: eternal dependence, eternal weakness, eternal servitude.

The truth is this: nations rise by struggling, failing, and rising again — not by outsourcing their dignity to outsiders. You can keep kneeling and begging for scraps of “intelligence.” I’ll keep demanding that my nation stand on its feet, even if it takes longer. History will remember who chose freedom, and who licked boots.

you just dey write plenty...You gave Libya as an example of a weak nation. Yet there was no U.S ground invasion in libya mostly air support and arms supply to rebel groups in libya. Which was almost similar situation in Iran, the u.s sent B-2 Bombers into Iran and they will do so again even if iran should possess a nuclear warhead. Indian attacked pakistan a nuclear armed nation and Ukraine is doing same against all mighty Russia.
My point is that being nuclear-armed isn't enough to deter a nation like the U.S. from attacking Iran. Their main concern is that if Iran acquires a nuclear weapon, it could fall into the wrong hands such as Hezbollah or the Houthis. The U.S and west sometimes supplies weapons to rebel groups, but these are mostly firearms and light explosives not weapons of mass destruction. The same can't be said for Iran, as evidenced by the hypersonic missiles reportedly in the hands of the Houthi

You clearly have a habit of writing without thinking. First, you twist history and now you contradict yourself mid-sentence. You admit Libya had no ground invasion, only airstrikes and armed rebels — exactly my point. Libya collapsed precisely because it was weak, disarmed, and had no deterrent. The U.S. could bomb freely because Gaddafi handed over his nuclear program years earlier. Had Libya been nuclear-armed, NATO would never have dared fly those planes, let alone arm rebels. Weakness invites predation.

Second, your comparison of Iran to Libya is ridiculous. Libya had no regional alliances, no deterrence, and no long-range strike capability. Iran has all three. That’s why, for over 40 years, the U.S. and Israel have barked loudly but stopped short of invasion. They know the cost. They can sneak in bombers, fire missiles, or hack systems — but they won’t roll in tanks because Tehran won’t collapse like Tripoli.

Your examples of India–Pakistan and Russia–Ukraine are also laughable. Pakistan still exists. Its nukes kept India from full-scale war. Russia still exists. NATO hasn’t invaded Russia directly because of its nuclear arsenal. Your own examples prove deterrence works. If nukes were irrelevant, Pakistan would be occupied, and NATO would already be in Moscow. But they’re not.

And spare me the Western propaganda about “Iran’s weapons falling into wrong hands.” The U.S. has armed Israel with hundreds of nukes outside the NPT, yet lectures others on proliferation. America literally left Afghanistan with $7 billion worth of weapons in Taliban hands — but suddenly Iran is the great danger? Hypocrisy doesn’t become truth just because you parrot it.

You mock resistance because you’re too busy glorifying servitude. But facts don’t lie: Libya disarmed and got destroyed. Iraq was weak and got invaded. Iran resisted, armed itself, built alliances, and remains standing. That’s not theory — that’s history slapping you in the face.

So stop embarrassing yourself with contradictions. The difference between a nation that kneels and one that stands isn’t in your wishful thinking — it’s written in the rubble of Baghdad and Tripoli, and in the unbroken skyline of Tehran.

ruggedtimi:
you just go copy and paste from A.l...I Never stated that the iraq invasion of Kuwait was the reason the Bush administration had to invade Iraq.
If the U.S. and NATO's actions in Libya are considered an invasion, then recent U.S./Israeli operations in your almight Iran entering its airspace and striking ground targetscould similarly be viewed as an Invasion.

Stop fooling yourself. Everything I post here is my own reasoning — I don’t need a bot to think for me. When your arguments collapse under the weight of facts, the only defense you can muster is “copy and paste from AI.” That’s not only lazy, it’s cowardly. If my points sound too precise and logical for you to handle, maybe the problem isn’t me — it’s your shallow grasp of history.

And let’s be clear: comparing U.S./Israeli drone strikes or border skirmishes to a full-scale invasion is laughable. An “invasion” is when armies march in, topple governments, and occupy land — like Iraq, Afghanistan, or Libya. Iran is still standing, still governed by Iranians, and still projecting power across the region. If those little pinprick raids were enough to bring Iran down, it would have collapsed decades ago. Yet here we are, and Iran remains — while Iraq and Libya are smoking ruins.

So stop clutching at straws. The very fact that the U.S. and Israel limit themselves to surgical strikes instead of boots on the ground proves my point: they know Iran will make them bleed if they try a real invasion. That is deterrence in action, whether you like it or not.

You can keep mocking resistance while polishing the chains of servitude, but don’t project your slave mentality onto others. Some nations crawl to survive, others stand to endure — Iran chose the latter. And history will always honor those who stood.

phorget:
Your sovereignty hasn't left your nation from depending on same western worlds for survival, why has it now become a difficult task for you to ask for this one last help ...
Kneel down on your two knees and beg France or Israel or America or Russia or just choose any of those countries with military expertise to come help you flush out bokoharam, banditry and ESN. You have been depending on them for everything already but calling on them for your own security now means an infringement on your beautiful sovereignty... 😂

Oh I almost forgot that your sovereignty thrives so much on corruption, you know if those people are been calling upon they will definitely blow open the cover of corruption in your country. Keep playing with people's lives all in the name of politics anyway, but I will tell you this for free... It is never a crime to call for help whenever you feel helpless. Thr way it is right now I will tell you that Nigeria needs HELP.

Have you forgotten the billion of dollars your country keep borrowing? Don't you know that you become an automatic slave to your lender? Nigeria is never a sovereign state, we are just one hell of a scam claiming sovereignty. Your president will soon jet out to France or UK for his usual health checks, though Nigeria has hospitals but it doesn't worth anything so also is our sovereignty that doesn't worth a shiiit cos we still depend on others.

Your reply is nothing but a sermon in defense of slavery. You keep repeating “dependence” as if trade, loans, or migration erase sovereignty. That’s laughable. Sovereignty is not about isolation — it is about decision-making power. Nigeria borrows, trades, and engages internationally, but no foreign army sits in Abuja dictating our constitution. That is the difference between an independent state and a vassal.

You say, “kneel down and beg France or America” — exactly the mentality of a conquered mind. Nations with dignity don’t beg outsiders to fight their internal battles; they build the capacity themselves. Boko Haram and banditry are the by-products of the same Western powers you are begging for — they profit from selling weapons, fueling chaos, and then posing as saviors. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya — every nation that opened its doors to “helpers” ended up in ashes.

Your so-called “exposure of corruption” by foreigners is another coward’s fantasy. The West doesn’t care about corruption — they thrive on it. They bankroll the same thieves you complain about, stash their looted wealth in Swiss banks, and sell them mansions in London. If they truly hated corruption, they would freeze and repatriate every stolen cent. But they don’t — because your “masters” are not saviors, they are beneficiaries.

As for mocking Nigerians abroad and our leaders’ medical trips, that is exactly the problem with your mindset: instead of demanding that we fix our house, you prefer to burn down the whole neighborhood and call in foreign landlords. Sovereignty is not “perfect hospitals and zero corruption,” it is the right to decide our destiny without bowing to outsiders.

The truth is simple: you mistake slavery for wisdom because you are too weak to imagine freedom. You are the kind of man who would rather be a well-fed dog at his master’s feet than a free man who builds slowly with dignity. But history has never honored slaves — it honors nations that resisted, fought, and rose on their own terms.

So keep kneeling and begging. Nigeria doesn’t need cowards like you. It needs people who would rather die struggling for self-determination than live forever licking foreign boots.

ruggedtimi:
Iraq started the invasion game by invading Kuwait first..There is no U S base in Oman and yet the country is relatively peaceful. With or without a nuclear warhead U.S will still attack Iran if they want to..

Your reply only proves how shallow your grasp of history is. Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990 was wrong — but does one crime justify another tenfold greater? The U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 had nothing to do with Kuwait; it was built on lies about “weapons of mass destruction” and left over a million Iraqis dead. Don’t twist timelines to excuse Western butchery.

You say “no U.S. base in Oman” as if that is proof of independence. Oman is a client state tied by Western trade, military cooperation, and British officers embedded in its defense forces. Just because you don’t see an aircraft carrier parked in Muscat doesn’t mean Oman is free from Western strings.

And your statement that “U.S. will still attack Iran if they want to” exposes the very defeatist slave mentality I’ve been pointing out. You think power means doing whatever you like with no resistance. But reality shows the opposite: the U.S. invaded Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan because they were weak. They have not dared invade Iran in 40+ years because they know Iran will hit back and make them bleed. That is deterrence. That is exactly why nuclear capability matters — it raises the cost of aggression beyond what even a superpower is willing to pay.

So keep glorifying slavery as “peace.” Real nations carve dignity from resistance, not from licking boots. Oman may survive quietly on its knees — Iran survives loudly on its feet. And history has always honored those who stood, not those who crawled.

Western help hasn't left Saudi and Qatar in ashes though... can you explain this?
Japan despite Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing still remain western ally until date, they even just approved a village for you Nigerians even with all your so call sovereignty your citizens are all scattered abroad. They earn overseas and send money back home yet you talk bad about the people feeding most of your citizens. Your last president died in western hospital, you can't even afford nothing but you are here making mouth.
There's rule to these things, person wey pass you don pass you and there's nothing you can do about it.

Your response is riddled with shallow comparisons and blind submission. You mention Saudi and Qatar as if they are models of independence — when in reality they are nothing but oil wells guarded by American bases. Their survival depends on renting their sovereignty to Washington. They are not spared because of “help” but because they are obedient vassals. The day they resist, they will face the same fire as Iraq and Libya. That is not success, that is servitude dressed up as prosperity.

Japan? Another bad example. Japan has U.S. military bases all over its soil since WWII. Its so-called “alliance” is the price of being permanently occupied. They are not “allies,” they are hostages in a velvet cage. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were not favors, they were crimes of terror that forced Japan into submission. That is not sovereignty, it is controlled survival.

And your point about Nigerians abroad is laughable. Migrants sending money home does not erase the fact that our nation still exists independently. Nigerians work abroad by choice, not because America owns Nigeria. Don’t confuse global migration with slavery. By your logic, every African-American in the U.S. makes Africa a colony of America — a ridiculous claim.

Your statement “person wey pass you don pass you” only exposes the slave mentality you carry proudly. It is the language of defeat, of someone too cowardly to imagine freedom, so he convinces himself chains are natural. Great nations are not built by people who surrender to those “who pass them.” They are built by those who fight, resist, and rise until they surpass their oppressors.

So keep glorifying masters while calling yourself wise. History will remember you as the willing slave who mistook obedience for progress, while real nations carve dignity out of struggle.

@ JimRohn
You don't have to be angry at what each person says against your religion on this forum many just love provoking people but then the same individuals will accuse others.
So calmly address each person otherwise the system or moderators will start banning your comments.

I’m not angry at all — I actually come here for fun. I don’t take this forum as anything more than casual engagement.

People provoke, others respond, that’s the cycle of Nairaland.

I simply choose to address comments with facts and logic, whether some like it or not.

If moderators feel the need to step in, that’s their job, not mine.

I’m just here to enjoy the discussions without taking them too seriously.

MadamExcellency:
The Op was part of those who hailed Hamas on October 7th and declared victory for Islam and today he is shouting genocide after celebrating victory for Islam. What an oxymoron.

Your accusation is as empty as your logic. Show me exactly where I “hailed Hamas” — quote me, word for word. You can’t, because it never happened. What you’re doing is fabricating lies to cover your own intellectual bankruptcy.

And calling it an “oxymoron” to condemn genocide while recognizing resistance is laughable. There is no contradiction in supporting the right of an oppressed people to resist occupation while simultaneously condemning the slaughter of civilians. Only someone with a morally bankrupt mind would confuse those two.

What’s truly oxymoronic is people like you who cheer Western-backed massacres and then try to smear anyone who exposes the truth. You don’t debate with facts; you throw baseless labels because that’s all you have.

So here’s the challenge: bring proof of where I hailed Hamas — or admit you are nothing but a liar hiding behind empty rhetoric.

phorget:
So when are you going to start defending yourself? You think it's by writing articles right?

I really wonder your definition of a sovereign state, the phone you use in typing this wasn't produced by your so call sovereign state, the cars, the airplane,the ship, the guns,the way you dress, your education ,your politics,even your religion and so much more were all given to you by the same people you do much abhor.
The mineral resources you think you have would have become useless if those same people had not told you it usefulness but you suddenly now feel calling on them to come rescue us from a self inflicted terror is an infringement to our sovereignty. It's like a grown up man who suddenly feels he knows more than his father.

What do you understand by international trade? If a country offers a service to your country of course they'll get something in return or do you expect them to offer it for free? If Saudi is paying with their oil has it ever become shortage for their own use? Paying for a Service delivery isnt slavery sir, if you want to become absolutely autonomous then you'll have to produce everything you'll ever need and stop relying on other countries while you claim sovereign state. There's comparative advantages amongst nations, if you are better militarily then I can give you my a share in my oil while you keep me your protection.

Just the other day the army were calling out the sabotage in the army regarding the fight with the insurgence, I'm sure you'll rather prefer that to inviting a better equipped nation to come help you fight your battle while you pay them. You'll prefer your own people to embezle the money while the insurgence thrives.

Your reply is nothing but a desperate attempt to dress up servitude as “wisdom.” You confuse international trade — which is mutual exchange — with colonial dependency, which is one-sided domination. Using foreign-made phones or cars through trade does not mean a nation has surrendered its sovereignty. Sovereignty is about decision-making power, not about producing every pin and needle yourself. Japan, China, and even Saudi Arabia import technologies, yet they retain sovereignty because they act independently. What you are endorsing is not trade — it is kneeling before foreign powers for protection in exchange for obedience. That is slavery.

Your argument about “the West giving us religion, politics, and education” only exposes how colonized your mindset is. The fact that Africans were forced to abandon their own systems through colonial violence is not a gift — it is theft, cultural erasure, and imposition. Colonizers didn’t “teach us usefulness” of our resources out of kindness; they exploited them for their own wealth while leaving our people in chains.

You mock Nigeria’s struggle with insurgency and corruption, yet your solution is to invite foreign armies — the same powers who profit from selling weapons to both sides of the conflict. That is not security; that is outsourcing sovereignty to the very people who created the instability in the first place. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya — all living proof that Western “help” only leaves nations in ashes.

The truth is this: you would rather be a well-fed slave under America’s boots than a free man who builds slowly with dignity. But history has never honored slaves, no matter how comfortable they were. It honors nations that bled, fought, and rose on their own terms. Nigeria does not need a foreign master — it needs leaders and citizens who reject the cowardice of servitude and embrace the courage of self-determination.

DeepSight:
Thanks.

Do you know any prophet who embodied these qualities:

1️⃣ Bloodthirsty

2️⃣ Was a caravan robber

3️⃣ Was a mass murderer

4️⃣ Was obsessed with sex

5️⃣ Routinely contrived inspired verses on the spot to justify his personal desires

6️⃣ Was a despot and tyrant

7️⃣ Was a plagiarist

Can you point to any prophet who exemplified these traits:

1️⃣ Do you know any prophet who cursed a fig tree out of hunger and made it wither just because it had no fruit?

2️⃣ Do you know any prophet who told his followers to hate their fathers, mothers, wives, children, brothers, and sisters in order to follow him?

3️⃣ Do you know any prophet who allowed demons to enter a herd of pigs, causing them to rush into the sea and drown?

4️⃣ Do you know any prophet who said he was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel?

5️⃣ Do you know any prophet who was mocked, beaten, spat upon, and crucified by his enemies?

6️⃣ Do you know any prophet whose followers abandoned him and fled when soldiers came?

Let's leave America and it slavery aside, let's come back home. Where exactly does Nigeria belong? Are we Americas slave or are we a freeborn?

Though I wish we could be another America slave so that we can at least live free from all the bandits and bokoharams disturbing us.

Your response perfectly illustrates the defeatist mindset that has crippled nations like ours. To openly wish that Nigeria should become “another America’s slave” just to feel secure is not a solution, but an admission of surrender. Security that comes through foreign domination is never true security — it is dependency, and dependency always comes with a price: loss of sovereignty, dignity, and the right to decide our own destiny.

Nigeria’s problems with banditry, Boko Haram, and corruption are not solved by kneeling before Washington or London; in fact, much of the instability in Africa has roots in foreign meddling, exploitation of our resources, and the propping up of weak leaders who serve outside interests instead of their people.

True progress comes not from trading our independence for temporary comfort, but from building internal strength, unity, and self-reliance. History has shown that nations which outsource their security eventually outsource their future.

Nigeria does not need to be America’s slave — it needs to rise as a nation that governs itself with justice, defends itself with strength, and stands with dignity among the free peoples of the world.

You sing Afghanistan's praise and make them feel like they mean any shit, was America really in battle with Afghanistan? A few Nuclear heads would have simply finish Afghanistan if America was really at war with them. The Afghans especially the women were enjoying their freedom when Americans were still there but today the women are all in boundage courtesy if the Talibans iron fist and that is what you call a beautiful freedom.

Gaza allowed Hamas take over their land, Hamas Gaza as their launch pad. Oct7 is still fresh on our mind and Gaza will continue paying the prize. Isreal will have to push Gaza so far away from Israeli borders so next time they would think of the long walk it'll take them to cross to Israel.

Saudi's GDP realized on prigrimage alone goes a long way, wont you rather have a beautiful Nigeria that live in Saudi's type of slavery? Your almighty sovereignty what exactly has it done for you?
Did America asked Iran not to trade in their oil? So a simple instruction deterring them from building Nuclear weapon is now slavery...you really have to think twice anyway.

Saudi doesn't see any reason to own a Nuclear weapon and they are living just fine but according to you that means they live in America's slavery... nah wa for you o.

Your reply is drenched in ignorance and blind submission. You say America was “never really at war with Afghanistan”? Then explain why the so-called superpower wasted 20 years, trillions of dollars, and thousands of soldiers’ lives, only to flee in humiliation — leaving behind weapons and bases? If America could “wipe out” Afghanistan with nukes as you foolishly suggest, why didn’t they? Because even empires know you cannot nuke resistance into extinction. Afghanistan broke the arrogance of the Soviets and the Americans — that is not weakness, that is history written in blood and dignity.

You pretend Afghan women were “free” under America, yet that “freedom” was nothing but puppet regimes, corruption, and foreign troops killing civilians in drone strikes. Real freedom is self-determination, not foreign soldiers dictating how you live. Poverty under dignity is still greater than fake prosperity under chains.

As for Gaza, your statement is not only disgraceful but morally bankrupt. Palestinians did not “allow Hamas to take over” — they were forced into resistance after decades of massacres, land theft, and siege by a colonial Zionist regime. Gaza is not being punished for “October 7,” Gaza has been under brutal blockade for nearly 18 years — long before that day. Israel bombs hospitals, schools, and refugee camps not because of Hamas, but because its very existence is built on ethnic cleansing. If resistance is a crime, then every African freedom fighter against colonialism was a criminal too.

You glorify Saudi’s “prosperity” — yet that prosperity is built on oil sold cheap to the West, hosting U.S. bases, and bowing to Washington’s orders. Pilgrimage money doesn’t erase servitude. That is not sovereignty, that is rented survival. You ask what sovereignty has done for Iran? Sovereignty is the reason Iran still stands despite 40+ years of sanctions, assassinations, and Western plots. No other Muslim country has resisted this long and remained independent. That is true power.

You call following America’s orders “peace.” No, it is slavery dressed up as stability. True peace is when a nation can stand on its own feet without needing America’s permission. That’s why you mock Iran — because unlike your idols, it refuses to bow.

The truth is simple: you cheer for Zionists and Western imperialists because you are comfortable with chains, as long as they shine. But history does not remember the slaves who lived in comfort — it remembers the nations who resisted oppression no matter the cost.

MaxInDHouse:
So close the chapter because on that note i'll forever disagree with you that Arabians aren't tribalistic with their religion.
Thanks for your time!

Thank you as well. We can agree to disagree, but let the record be clear: reverence for prophets is not tribalism, it is faith.

Islam commands us to honor all prophets without distinction (Qur’an 2:285), and that principle stands regardless of your opinion.

You may choose to interpret it otherwise, but my position remains grounded in both scripture and reason. I appreciate the exchange.

Ok, you won!
But unfortunately for Afghanistan they haven't enjoyed the "freedom" they fought for even when America has left them alone.
As for Gaza, those ones are reaping the fruits of their labor.

Saudi Arabia hasn't become poor despite you claiming they pay the Americans with their oil, I will rather live in Saudi Arabia's slavery rather than live in Afghanistan's freedom.

Your reply only exposes your moral bankruptcy. You openly admit you prefer slavery under America’s boot to freedom with dignity — that alone tells us everything about your mentality. A man who glorifies servitude is already conquered in spirit.

You mock Afghanistan’s struggle, yet you forget it was Afghanistan that broke the back of two empires — first the Soviets, then the Americans. No other nation in modern history has forced the U.S. to flee in humiliation. That is not failure, that is unmatched resistance. Poverty under freedom is still nobler than wealth under chains.

As for Gaza, your comment that they are “reaping the fruits of their labor” is disgraceful. Gaza is under siege, bombed, starved, and slaughtered daily, yet they still stand firm against the most heavily armed occupier on earth. That is not “punishment,” that is proof of their unbreakable spirit — something you clearly cannot comprehend.

And about Saudi Arabia’s so-called “prosperity” — it is built on oil money exchanged for silence, not independence. The palaces are gilded, but the dignity is sold cheap. A rented throne is no throne at all.

The truth is simple: you would rather be a well-fed slave than a free man who struggles. But history never honors slaves — only those who resist.

Does Saudi Arabia, UAE, Malaysia, Kuwait, Oman and other prosperous Islamic States have Nuclear Weapons?
How is Pakistan faring as an Islamic nation with Nuclear Weapons. You Muslims should embrace peace. Mohammed came up with Quoran as a defense advice when his enemies wanted him dead. If you keep Quoran in the centre of life you will start to see fathom and unimaginary enemies.

Your reply is full of contradictions and historical ignorance. You point to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait as examples — but let’s be honest: their “prosperity” is nothing but oil money traded for slavery to Washington. They host U.S. bases, bow to Western dictates, normalize with Israel, and sell their dignity for security guarantees. That’s not peace — that’s submission.

You mention Pakistan with nuclear weapons — precisely the point. Despite all Western hostility, Pakistan has never been invaded or colonized again because nuclear deterrence works. That is the reality you’re trying to dodge.

As for your cheap attack on the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, it only exposes your bias. The Qur’an is not “defense advice”; it is divine revelation, a complete guidance for life, unmatched in depth and wisdom. Unlike your Bible, which was rewritten and edited by councils of men, the Qur’an has been preserved word for word for 1400+ years.

You say Muslims should “embrace peace” — yet it is the U.S. and its Christian allies who invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, slaughtering millions. It is Israel — a Western-backed settler colony — that bombs children in Gaza daily. Don’t lecture Muslims about peace when your own camp thrives on bloodshed and occupation.

The difference is simple: Muslims who resist oppression are called “terrorists,” while Western powers who drop bombs on wedding halls are called “liberators.” Your hypocrisy is staggering.

Maximus692:
It's obvious you can't answer that simple question but i will leave you with it perhaps your conscience will help you to know why i told you earlier to close the chapter.

Here is the question again:
If truly you believe that all prophets of God needs to be revered why haven't you been adding that thing at the mention of biblical prophets as you were doing for your muhammad?

You’re running from Scripture into childish nitpicking — because you’ve lost the argument. The Bible itself says Balaam spoke under God’s Spirit and uttered God’s words. That’s the definition of a prophet. You can’t refute it, so you hide behind ‘why didn’t you type a symbol every time.’ That’s not theology, that’s desperation.

And let’s be clear: Muslims honor all prophets (Qur’an 2:285). We don’t mock, curse, or belittle them the way you just mocked Muhammad ﷺ. Whether I type ﷺ every single time is irrelevant — the respect is built into our creed. What exposes you is that you reduce faith to keyboard formulas while simultaneously ridiculing God’s last prophet. That’s not reverence, that’s hypocrisy.

You still haven’t answered why your Bible explicitly calls Balaam a prophet, or why your theology contradicts your own text. Instead, you keep circling back to emojis and typing habits. That’s the clearest proof you’re out of substance.

📌 Bottom line: I’m dealing with scripture, you’re dealing with symbols. That tells me everything about who’s standing on truth — and who’s hiding behind childish distractions.

You didn't mention the relative peace in Saudi Arabia and Qatar... or are these two countries also having nuclear weapons?
You people won't just stop making case for terrorist nations.

Your response is shallow and riddled with contradictions. You mention Saudi Arabia and Qatar as “peaceful,” yet conveniently ignore the obvious: they are under the protective shadow of the very powers that plunder the Middle East. Their survival is not due to wisdom or strength, but servitude — they rent out their sovereignty to Washington and London, hosting U.S. bases while paying with oil money. That is not peace; that is subjugation.

As for calling Iran a “terrorist nation,” that is nothing but parroting Western propaganda. Iran has been the single most consistent force resisting Zionist occupation and U.S. imperialism in the region. If defending one’s sovereignty, supporting oppressed Palestinians, and refusing to bow to colonial masters is “terrorism,” then what do you call the U.S. invasion of Iraq that killed over a million people? Or Israel’s daily massacre of civilians in Gaza? Or NATO’s destruction of Libya?

The difference is simple: Saudi Arabia and Qatar chose slavery to survive, while Iran chooses dignity to lead. And history will always honor those who stood with dignity, not those who sold themselves for temporary comfort.

Ọmọ i purposely dragged you to see the level of indoctrination in you.
Stop deceiving yourself Arabians are the tribalistic people otherwise you should have been adding that thing at the mention of all other prophets.

I have answered the Trinity issue long before now it's your Allah, Islam and Muhammad that's the issue you want to include and i told you to close the chapter but you insisted on knowing the truth so face the truth. If Arabians aren't tribalistic how come they taught you to add that funny thing each time you mention their brother but will not do the same for the real prophets of God known in the Bible?


Guy Balaam is not a prophet of the God whose people he took a bribe to curse and as for Trinity it's obvious you're still a baby Muslim because knowledgeable Muslims know that Jehovah's Witnesses don't preach Trinity check the below thread and see how myself and other Jehovah's Witnesses dismantled Trinity!

You’re only embarrassing yourself with contradictions. First you said Balaam isn’t a prophet because he sinned, yet the Bible itself records: ‘The Spirit of God came upon him, and he uttered the oracle of Balaam… who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty’ (Numbers 24:2–4). That is prophetic formula, word-for-word. You can scream ‘bribe’ a thousand times, it won’t erase the text. If God’s Spirit rested on him and he delivered God’s words, he was a prophet — whether you like it or not. The only way you escape this is by rejecting your own Scripture, which is exactly what you’re doing.

Dragging Matthew 12:31 into this only shows desperation. That verse is about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, not bribery. David committed adultery by the Spirit’s law, Solomon bowed to idols against the Spirit’s command, yet you keep their titles intact. But when it comes to Balaam — suddenly you invent a special category of ‘unforgivable.’ That’s not exegesis, that’s hypocrisy.

As for your childish obsession with me writing ﷺ after Prophet Muhammad’s name — your mockery only exposes your insecurity. Muslims honor all prophets without distinction (Qur’an 2:285). Whether or not I type out the Arabic formula each time doesn’t erase that fact. Unlike you, we don’t dishonor or ridicule prophets of God. And calling Muhammad ﷺ ‘an Arabian guy’ only proves your tribalism, not mine. You pretend to respect Moses and Jesus, yet laugh at the final prophet foretold in your own book (Deut. 18:18). That’s not faith — that’s prejudice.

And stop playing games about the Trinity. First you claim you don’t believe it because it’s not in the Bible. Then you admit you’re a Jehovah’s Witness, whose theology is rejected by the majority of Christianity. So even your fellow Christians don’t take you seriously. You’ve already undermined your own credibility — I don’t even need to do it for you.

📌 Bottom line: Balaam destroys your Israel-only excuse. Muhammad ﷺ destroys your man-made doctrines. And your weak mockery about ‘that funny thing’ only shows you’ve run out of arguments. Keep laughing, because laughter is all you’ve got left when the text has exposed you.

Iran today stands at a decisive historical juncture. The Islamic Republic has only two paths before it:

1️⃣ To develop nuclear weapons and secure itself as a powerful example for nations across the world — a state capable of deterring aggression and commanding respect.

2️⃣ Or to abstain, and risk becoming yet another cautionary tale, like Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan — countries that were disarmed, weakened, and then ravaged by foreign intervention.

The lesson of modern history is clear: those who lack deterrence become prey to foreign domination. Iran must now decide whether it will shape its destiny as a symbol of strength, or allow its fate to be written by others.

It is no longer a question of capability, but of resolve. The time to choose is now.

You are still dancing around facts.
Balaam's action is not excusable unlike others who sinned due to imperfection and begged God for forgiveness Balaam accepted a bribe to curse God's people.
It's like saying one slept with the wife of his neighbor, another ran for his life and still another denied his friend out of fear then you are talking about someone who collected a bribe to attack God's will. Perhaps you don't understand i will explain, Balaam's action is like someone who accepted a bribe to bomb Muslims praying in a mosque and the one who slept with an adulterous woman or one who ran away from his duty out of fear and you are equating them.


I purposely dragged you along until you posted more than ten comments using the name of your prophet adding that funny thing and now you are lying that you revere all the prophets but you add that thing only at the mention of your prophet. Isn't that tribalistically hilarious to you?


Muslim has come with your provocation when nobody forced you into making comments.
Where are the insults?
Ọmọ i purposely quoted you because i don't believe in Trinity since it's not written in the Bible so stop being funny!

You’re only proving my point — desperate excuses piled on top of one another. You admit Jonah ran from God, David stole another man’s wife, Solomon built temples for idols, Peter denied Jesus three times — yet they remain prophets and apostles. But when it comes to Balaam, suddenly you invent a new rule: ‘his sin is different, unforgivable, inexcusable’. That’s not theology, that’s bias. Scripture doesn’t grade sins on your sliding scale — sin is sin. What made them prophets was not their flawless character, but that God chose to speak through them. And the record is crystal clear: ‘the Spirit of God came upon Balaam’ (Numbers 24:2). Either accept it, or admit you’re rejecting your own Bible.

As for your childish mockery about me writing ﷺ after Prophet Muhammad’s name — that’s respect, not ‘tribalism.’ Muslims say peace be upon him after all prophets, whether Moses, Jesus, or Muhammad, because that’s what God commands in the Qur’an (2:285). If you don’t see me type it after every name, it’s not because I don’t respect them, it’s because I don’t need to spell out a formula every single time for your comfort. The respect is already in my faith — not in satisfying your petty demands. What’s actually ‘tribalistic’ is Christians mocking Muhammad ﷺ while pretending to honor every other prophet.

And stop pretending you’re being generous by saying you don’t believe in the Trinity — that only underlines my point: your own Bible doesn’t teach it, and you know it. That’s why you’re scrambling to hide behind insults and weak analogies instead of answering the real issue.

📌 Bottom line: Balaam proves your Israel-only claim is false, and Muhammad ﷺ proves your Trinity is false. That’s why you keep running from the text into childish laughter. The joke is on you.

MaxInDHouse:
God chose the Israelites that's enough to know why prophets are called among them and none of God's prophets lay a curse on God's people. You should know the difference between personal flaws and attack on God's will. Balaam wanted to curse God's people for inheriting the land God promised their ancestors that is not personal flaws but attack on God's will!


How come you don't RESPECT all other prophets equally if the Arabs aren't tribalistic?

You’re still dodging Scripture with empty slogans. ‘God chose Israel’ doesn’t erase Balaam — because the Bible itself shows God putting His Spirit on a non-Israelite to deliver oracles. Your excuse that Balaam was ‘attacking God’s will’ is laughable. Jonah literally ran from God’s will and wished Nineveh destroyed — yet you still call him a prophet. Peter denied Jesus three times — yet you call him an apostle. Stop pretending sin cancels someone’s prophetic role when your own book proves otherwise. That’s double standards, plain and simple.

As for your cheap deflection about Arabs being tribalistic — nonsense. Respecting Prophet Muhammad ﷺ with ‘peace be upon him’ is honoring God’s Messenger, exactly as the Qur’an commands us to do with all prophets. In fact, Muslims are the only people who revere Moses, Jesus, Abraham, David, and all prophets without discrimination (Qur’an 2:285). Meanwhile, you insult and mock Muhammad ﷺ, the very man your Bible foretold in Deuteronomy 18:18. That shows who’s tribal and biased here — not us.

📌 Bottom line: Balaam shatters your Israel-only theory, and Muhammad ﷺ shatters your Trinity. That’s why you’re running in circles with insults instead of addressing the facts.

MaxInDHouse:
Guy for accepting a bribe to curse God's people is evidence that Balaam wasn't a prophet of God at all.
If truly he knows God and His purposes how could he accept a bribe to cause the people God has blessed?
Guy you are a Muslim and i know how you people think that's why i told you to close the chapter instead of giving you a headache.
Meanwhile i noticed how you've been adding something funny each time you type the name of your prophet but never did same when you mention other prophets mind if i ask you why?

Your desperation is showing again. You keep clinging to Balaam’s sin while ignoring the plain text that calls his speeches ‘the oracle of Balaam… who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty’ (Numbers 24:3–4). That is prophetic language word-for-word. His corruption doesn’t erase the fact that God’s Spirit spoke through him. By your logic, David committing adultery, or Solomon bowing to idols, should also strip them of prophecy. But you never deny their titles — because when it’s Israelite sins, you excuse them, but when it’s a non-Israelite, you twist the rules. Hypocrisy exposed.

As for your cheap shot about me writing ﷺ after Muhammad’s name: that’s respect, not 'funny.' It means peace be upon him, the same way your Bible says ‘grace and peace be upon you’ in greetings. If you find it funny that I honor a prophet of God, that says more about your mockery than my faith.

📌 Bottom line: Balaam proves God can raise a prophet outside Israel, whether you like it or not. And your obsession with Muhammad ﷺ only shows that deep down you know he fits the universal prophecies your Bible foretold.

Governors across the country are just busy squandering the subsidy windfall. It is a pity we have refused to beam our searchlights at those closest to us, but rather wake up everyday to talk about what's happening in Abj.

It is true that many governors are guilty of squandering public funds, but let us not pretend that the rot begins and ends with them. The tone of leadership is always set from the top. If Tinubu’s federal government had implemented strong accountability frameworks for the subsidy removal windfall, governors would not have had the leeway to waste such resources unchecked.

Instead, what Nigerians see from Abuja is not transparency or prudence, but more of the same recklessness: ballooning government convoys, extravagant foreign trips, endless new taxes, and zero relief for citizens. If the President is truly serious about governance, why not start by publishing a transparent account of how the subsidy “savings” are being managed nationally, instead of hiding behind excuses?

Governors may be guilty, yes — but Abuja cannot escape blame. Tinubu’s policies created the hardship, and his failure to enforce accountability has only deepened it. Nigerians have every right to talk about Abuja, because Abuja sets the pace for the entire country.

MaxInDHouse:
So someone paid to curse God's people is God's prophet shey?

Ọmọ you are just amusing me walahi talahi because it's common sense!

You keep hiding behind jokes because you can’t face the text. Let’s be clear: Balaam was paid to curse, but what happened? He couldn’t. Why? Because God overpowered him and put His own words in Balaam’s mouth (Numbers 22:38, 23:5, 24:2). That’s the very definition of prophecy — a man speaking not his own will, but God’s words under God’s Spirit.

So your ‘common sense’ is actually nonsense. By your logic, Jonah — who ran from God and wanted Nineveh destroyed — also wasn’t a prophet, because he had the wrong intentions. Yet God forced Jonah to deliver His message. Same pattern.

📌 Bottom line: Your mockery doesn’t change Scripture. The Bible itself calls Balaam’s speeches “oracles” and says “the Spirit of God came upon him.” Either you accept what your own book says, or admit you’re rejecting it to protect your tribal bias.

MaxInDHouse:
The highlighted is where you got it totally wrong!

God twisted Balaam's tongue so that instead of cursing God's people he was blessing them just as God promised Abraham {Genesis 12:3} that never made him God's prophet a prophet of God is someone commissioned by God to go and deliver His message but Balaam was paid to curse God's people that is why God intervened so how does that makes the evil man God's prophet?

You’re tying yourself in knots, and it’s embarrassing. You just admitted God put His own words in Balaam’s mouth — yet still claim he wasn’t God’s prophet. That’s like saying a man who delivers God’s message under God’s Spirit isn’t a messenger. Pure nonsense.

1️⃣ Commission isn’t limited to Israel.
Jonah was commissioned to Nineveh, not Israel. Elijah was sent to Sidon. Elisha healed a Syrian general. Jesus Himself cites these examples (Luke 4:25–27). Your claim that ‘prophet = only Israelite sent to Israel’ is already dead.

2️⃣ Balaam’s prophetic status isn’t erased by his corruption.
Yes, Balaam was greedy and evil. Guess what? So were Israelite prophets at times:
– Jonah ran from God’s command.
– Solomon built altars to idols.
– David committed adultery and murder.
Did their sin cancel their office? No. You still honor them. But with Balaam, because he wrecks your narrative, you suddenly invent a new rule. Hypocrisy exposed.

3️⃣ The text doesn’t care about your spin.
– “The LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth” (Num 23:5).
– “The Spirit of God came upon him” (Num 24:2).
That is the definition of prophetic activity. Whether he liked it or not, whether he was hired or not, God used him as a prophet. Your attempt to redefine “prophet” is just you trying to protect your collapsing claim.

📌 Bottom line: Balaam proves your Israel-only fence is a lie. You can’t erase him by calling him “evil” or “twisted.” God’s Spirit spoke through him, his words are preserved in Scripture as prophecy, and the Bible itself calls them “oracles.” That’s not my invention — that’s your Bible.

So stop dancing. Either accept the text or admit you’re just defending your denomination, not Scripture.

MaxInDHouse:
Let's talk about Balaam because it seems that is your only problem.

He came from the same area where Abraham once lived that's why he knew about the God of Abraham and so claim to be a prophet of that God but God never sent him to any place except when he was hired to curse God's people.

So he wasn't a prophet of God as you claim!

Your desperation is showing. You can’t erase Balaam just because he destroys your 'Israel-only prophets' theory. Let’s deal with the facts — not your spin.

1️⃣ The text itself calls Balaam God’s mouthpiece.
– Numbers 22:38: “The word God puts in my mouth, that must I speak.”
– Numbers 23:5: “The LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth.”
– Numbers 24:2: “The Spirit of God came upon him.”
That’s prophetic language word-for-word. No amount of handwaving changes what the Bible plainly says.

2️⃣ Your excuse ‘he was just hired’ is laughable.
So what? That makes it even clearer: God can and did use a man outside Israel to deliver His own words, against his own will if necessary. That proves God is not chained to your tribal boundaries.

3️⃣ Calling Balaam ‘not a prophet’ contradicts Scripture.
Numbers 24:3 introduces his speech as “the oracle of Balaam… the man whose eyes are opened… who hears the words of God.” That’s the same prophetic formula used for Israelite prophets. If you deny Balaam was a prophet, you’re denying your own Bible’s terminology — not me.

4️⃣ Your double standard is exposed.
When an Israelite sins (David commits adultery, Solomon worships idols), you still call them prophets and kings of God. But when a non-Israelite speaks God’s word under His Spirit, you scramble to strip the title away. That’s not exegesis — that’s bias.

📌 Bottom line: The record is crystal clear — Balaam was a non-Israelite through whom the Spirit of God spoke. That alone destroys your false rule that God only spoke through Israel after Canaan. You can keep running circles, but every time you open your mouth, you’re arguing against your own Scripture.

SmartPolician:
Professor Soyinka wasn't recognised for knowing how to write and speak English. Professor Sonyinka was recognised for being an excellent playwright/novelist; these are two different things.

Once again, winning an English competition is nothing extraordinary. What Nigerian or global problem does knowing how to speak English solve? This is a language we speak and write every day. It could be a big deal for you because you struggle with it. For some of us, it is not a big deal.

Like the comment you quoted mentioned, NLNG (a joint-venture arrangement where the government has the highest stakes) recognises a ton of scholars who have done well in their fields with $100k every year.

FYI, in America, they beg people to come and study English in the university with juicy scholarships, but their people aren't willing to do that. It's only in Nigeria that we see English as a big deal. Well, it is not.

@JimRohn I have already addressed the issues you raised and it disgusts me whenever I criticise the way things are done and some nítwits call it hate.

For someone asking for who has done a similar thing in the past, read the link below and get enlightened. Once again, knowing how to speak and write a language is just a communication skill that doesn't solve any pressing issues in Nigeria or elsewhere in the world.

If you truly “addressed the issues,” you wouldn’t be resorting to insults like “nitwits.” That alone shows weakness in your argument. Criticism is valid when it’s constructive and fair, not when it’s dismissive and laced with resentment.

Nobody said you can’t critique the government’s reward system — the point is that your criticism crossed into belittling the girl’s achievement, which is unnecessary and unfair. You could have called for equal recognition of all achievers without trying to reduce her accomplishment to “nothing special.” That is not constructive criticism, it’s bitterness.

Disagreeing with you is not “hate.” It’s simply pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. If you want to be taken seriously, engage with logic instead of hiding behind insults.
