People have the right to express themselves if they think things should be done differently. Don't make this thread look like another Igbo/Yoruba e-fights.

@Sanctity454, I saw your comment about Roban Stores acquiring Aladinma Mall. Roban Stores is really trying. It seems Imo and Abia States (not sure about Abia) are the only two SE states they haven't expanded their footprints to because the Store is also in Abakaliki.

Leave him now, most of them arguing haven't even been to obolo-afor talk more of entering nnewi or onitsha.

The amount of new glittering buildings in the south east is alarming, sometimes it beats my imagination how my brothers are able to rise up this big. Building mansions even inside their villages sef

Sacrifice as in a faithful solider laying down his life freely (by himself) for his nation out of love, is different from saying sacrifice on a alter or a sort of sacrifice for sin to appease God's wrath. I am arguing against the latter, while I believe Jesus sacrifice was the former.

GeneralDae:
Oh my God, you are even quoting my favourite Jesus sayings from the gospels. None of these quotes mean what you think they mean.

Matthew 20v28 does not say that jesus came to be a human sacrifice bearing our sins to God. It says he came to be a ransom for many. What does ransom for many mean? What is the ransom being paid here and to whom?

John 11v51, what does it mean to die for the nation?

Again John 10 is simply saying he would lay his life down for his followers. How does this equate to a blood sacrifice for sin?

GeneralDae:
Try to read before replying. This is not about English because even Paul knows it makes no sense to say that a baby has committed sin. Christians do not interprete it this way, so I wonder why your logic should work this way. I have given you the surrounding context of the passage, all you have done is tell me about English. So what does Paul mean by: In Adam all die? You have not addressed the context of the passage I gave you, but you just repeat thesame thing over and over again.

If a promiscuous lady gets the HIV virus and she is pregnant, her unborn child who inherits that virus coming into this world, comes in that state of sin because of the mother.

To the ancient jews, it means she was born in sin or she is automatically a sinner suffering because of the deeds of her parents.

They (the jews) answered and said to him(the blind man), “You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?” And they cast him out.
John 9v34

It seemed from the culture in ancient judaism, some specific people are considered to be sinners from birth either because of what was done in their family line previously or because of their past lives (reincarnation ). Paul is simply applying this belief of the first century jews to all men, because all men eventually trace their origins to Adam a sinner.

Paul is arguing this, so the jews do not discriminate only some to be born in sin ( e.g the gentiles) but rather consider that all men were born into thesame problem of sin and need freedom. Think about it, a blind man born blind was seen as a probable sinner by the first century jews and they also said he was born in sin, this to them seemed to be the reason why he was blind even as a baby.

Paul is addressing a problem which men are born into, not necessarily the act itself.

Paul also said : In Adam all die. The problem according to paul is in what Adam did.

GeneralDae:
All have sinned does not mean all have committed the act of sin. It means all inherited the consequences or state of sin, since all were in the loins of their ancestors or ancestor Adam when they/he sinned.

It simply means the actions of our ancestors affect us.

Ihedinobi3:
Let me say again: I have the right to believe anything I wish to believe just as you yourself do too. I won't believe something just because you said it. If you don't like that, I'm not going to feel bad just because you don't. I will believe what the Bible says because I trust the Bible. I don't need your permission to do so.

FirstSon01:
what sin have you seen a day old commit before??
be logical.....
just cause your bible said all have seen you want to push the agenda that day olds sin??

FirstSon01:
what's your point sir??

FirstSon01:
so god sent his son to die for me and o said I don't want him or any of his religions I just want to be on my own so he'll send me to perpetual suffering forever cause of that??

Who signed the 1914 Amalgamation?

Nnamdi Azikiwe was born in 1904(was 10years old when the 1914 treaty was signed)
Obafemi Awolowo was born in 1909(was 5years old when the 1914 treaty was signed)
Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was born in 1912(was 2years old before it was signed)
Ahmadu Bello was born in 1910(was 4years old before it was signed)
Michael Okpara was born in 1920(the treaty has been signed 6years before he was born)
Who and who signed these papers on 1914 and called it amalgamation of the Northern Region and Southern Region, that we shall live together as one family without War, Marginalization, Conflict of interest and crisis?
These Nationalists I mentioned above are still sucking breast at the time of this agreement.
You can't mix Red Oil and Palm kernel Oil together to get a good result.
You can't play Jazz and Etigi or skelewu in the club house at the same time and expect a good dance.
Is it that we are learning how to spell Democracy in our country or the teacher does not know how to teach?
Our problems started in 1914 because we don't know who signed it and there names and there intentions for signing it.
If they so called imperialists white signed it in the midnight while we were sleeping, the cock has crown, we have brushed our teeth, and taken our bath. Our eyes have opened to look for the amalgamation treaty and do something about it.
No Northerner can sleep with his eyes closed in the Southern part of Nigeria and no Southerner can do the same in the North. Inter marriage is a Taboo.
After 100years we are still importing toothpicks, going abroad for medical checkup, our lucrative cash crops has gone to moribund, Education for all by the year 2050, Unemployment is a baptismal name for graduates, a police officer cannot boast of his work because of vestige of his salary, our Obasanjo Space Center and Satellite Office at Abuja can not trace the location of Sambisa Forest.
And I repeat it again, who and who signed this amalgamation treaty?

The police response is proportional to the protest atmosphere.
I remember when the London riots was hot, the cops were out with full force of their batons beating, injuring and dragging suspects.

These cops can't shoot at protesters because they don't carry guns and are not under attack, not because they are special humans
as many people seem to believe.
We can also eliminate shooting at protests by disarming security forces who are sent to protest grounds.

DannyG8:
read John I : 1-14

ivolt:
There is poor turnout because hiring protesters is quite expensive in that area.
Also, working people won't abandon their job for a deceptive Nigerian protest.
If it was a call for an ethnic protest, the turnout will be much higher.

Globad:
Don't mind them. They have demonised everything black.

Just imagine if the ilogical theology of Christianity was African. They would have said that it doesn't make sense for God to sacrifice himself to himself.

Or why didn't God kill Satan rather than kill himself or his own son? Or why God would consider human sacrifice of his own son, so as to stop animal sacrifices

But the illogical theology makes sense to them because it came from foreigners.

The same people who believe in and fight for this illogical theology mock and despise the more logical theology behind African traditional religions.

Maximus85:
The cross has nothing to do with Christianity.

Kobojunkie:
I am afraid there is a problem with what you have above and that is, it is simply more doctrines and traditions of men, and less of God's Truth. Why did you feel the need to add your own interpretation to that which God declared in Genesis concerning marriage?
By doing that, you turned everything you have attempted to say, a lie against God Himself.

Where did God declare parents earthly guardians/God's representatives on earth?
And where do you have God asserting that in addition to the ultimate permission He, God, declared before their creation, to couples, that additional permission from their "earthly guardians" is necessary?

McSquishi:
ask New Yorkers why New York looks like a slum or ask why LA looks like a slum and you’d get the same defensive responses. This is not a Black thing or a Nigerian thing, humans get defensive over things/people/places that shape their identity.

horsepower102:
Yes I am fully aware that our hands are tied and the federal government is obsessed with control of so many things. I have read the federal exclusive list in details and it made we realize how much backward the federal government has kept us because of it.

BUT

That should never be used as an excuse. The state governors need to use the little powers that they have effectively and to the fullest capacity.

Lagos State has a waterfront development agency. Why doesn't Anambra have one? Is the Federal Government stopping Anambra?
