I have told the useless boys scouts called the Nigerian military to buy the AA mounted guns used by BH to counter BH firepower but the military won't listen to my advice.


You can't overpower these terrorists if AA mounted guns are not within the arsenals of the boys in the front line

Who does the 'Inviting' pays the bills, and most times, guys do. But that doesn't mean I'm saying she must eat like a glutton.

What I'm seeing here is a case of two fake individuals. The lady is acting pose but broke while the guy may have lied about his entire life.

On a second thought, they must have both eaten to make the bills go that high. 83k sef is too much to spend in an eatery. Both of them are mad!

Farming is not profitable in Nigeria, especially to those privileged to have had a good work experience.

If you use hoe and cutlass to farm, I pity you, you are just working in vain

I challenge anybody to prove me wrong

King Ahab appears in extra-biblical chronicles of a few other neighbouring kingdoms. Human history is essentially a documentary of royalty, power and wealth. Commonality is often only mentioned to further the story of the nobles.

Authenticity of all thousand years old stories are always contested and validation is dependent on availability of multiple sources.

Broad cases like; Ahab was a bad king, Samson possessed immense physical strength, Sango was a powerful warrior, Spartans were a war loving race are more verifiable with corroborating evidence than specific incidences like Ahab & Naboth's vineyard, Samson and the ass' jawbone, Sango spewing fire or 300 Spartans. These appear like legendary acquisitions over time rather than real occurrences considering the details.

So yes, while the old and the new testaments are remarkable pieces of literature, they remain old records with inherent doubtful notes, like all other historical work, when subjected to critical examination. Hence my desire to meet the historical Jezebel just to see if the bible described her accurately or if the Jewish chroniclers deliberately distorted facts in the records just to spite her.

Recruiting mercenaries to fight a war on your own soil is one of the dumbest thing GEJ did as Machiavelli rightly wrote that a "mercenary, having no allegiance, will eventually hold the prince who employs him hostage for increasing amounts of money".

kjhova:
Jezebel's story is thousands of years old and a lot of embellishment could have been added over centuries. The specificity of the encounter with Naboth does not necessarily give any credence to the bible recording of Jezebel's evil nature as there is no secondary source to validate the historicity of Naboth and/or a contested vineyard.

I'd wanna meet Queen Jezebel as she is the most vilified woman in the bible. I always wondered if the history of this queen was not distorted due to religious bigotry.

Jezebel was a foreigner who married the most hated king in the history of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Much of the history of that time, as passed down in the bible, was written by the religious establishment who were mortal enemies of the crown. Who can tell if what we know today as history was not a deliberate distortion of the true nature of the historical Jezebel.

Ancient Israel is similar to today's Pakistan in terms of zealotry. Imagine how history will record a Pakistani 1st lady today who is an American import trying to implement laws on women's rights, abortion, birth control, alimony or LGBT rights?!

Or Benin Republic?

France will return 26 works of art to Benin more than a century after it took them from the west African nation.
President Emmanuel Macron ordered the pieces returned "without delay" to the former French colony, according to a report commissioned by the French government.
The pieces have been in France's possession for 126 years, ever since they were taken from the palace of King Behanzin, who was deposed and exiled when France claimed the region as a protectorate in 1894.
Macron's decision to return the artworks stems from a report authored by French historian Bénédicte Savoy and Senegalese writer and academic Felwine Sarr. French collections now house at least 90,000 pieces originating from sub-Saharan Africa, the report said, with around 70,000 works just in the Quai Branly -- a museum featuring art indigenous to Africa.
It recommended that the French government return stolen artifacts to their countries of origin.
"These works can be presented to the Beninese public and to the international public as part of the ambitious project of museums carried by the Republic of Benin," the statement said.
And these 26 pieces may just be the start.
The report suggested a three-phased approach. The first, the return of "several symbolic pieces whose return has been requested fro a long time by various African nations." Then, an international inventory of stolen pieces. And the final phase would include African nations submitting claims of restitution.
The Elysée Palace said there will be a meeting at the start of 2019 between African and European nations to develop a new policy on the exchange of stolen artifacts.

Report has it that the president of France, Emmanuel Macron has agreed to immediately return 26 African artworks claimed by Benin, Edo state, Nigeria.

It was gathered that the decision on Friday came shortly after Macron received a report detailing how former colonisers can return looted artworks to Africa.

According to AFP, government officials from Ethiopia to Senegal eagerly awaited the report, commissioned by Macron and compiled by French art historian, Benedicte Savoy, and Senegalese economist Felwine Sarr. 

It recommends that the thousands of items in French museums taken without consent during the colonial period be returned to the continent.

Unless it can be proven that the objects were obtained legitimately, they should be returned to Africa permanently, the report's authors say.

French law currently forbids the government from ceding state property, regardless of how it was obtained.
