ARE THERE NO CHRISTIANS IN THE COUNTRY EVEN SAUDI ARABIA DOES NOT HAVE SUCH LAW NA WA O

Christians ar d majority in Eritrea. It's like even dia Presidnt (Isaias Afwerki) is a Christian!

@Malvisguy. U ar d one dat need to wake up frm ur ignorance of d word of God nd b mor spiritual, diligent nd prayerful in ur study nd undastndin of d Bible. Why changin ur stance on d issue raised by d Op ova night? Were u not d one supportin d claim made by Op sayin dat Jesus Christ is d Jehovah God Almighty even when d Bible made it clear dat Jesus Christ is d Son of Jehovah God Almighty (d Father)? Jehovah God is d Father of our Lord Jesus Christ sent by d Father to redeem mankinds(us) frm sins. Oh! Hav u now agreed dat Jesus is d Son of God d Father, nd not Jehovah God Almighty d Father himself, even though he (Jesus) nd d Father (Jehovah) ar one frm d beginnin? May God Almighty hav mercy on us nd forgive us wateva things we hav said wrongly, falsely or acted foolishly in d course of d arguments, nd may His anger never b upon us, nd may He forgive us evry sins committd in Jesus Christ's Supreme Name I hav prayed. Amen.

malvisguy212:
I can confidently say, you are not a christian.

Guy, no need for further arguments. D Bible is alwys there for us to study nd undastnd. It is all left for u to either choose d truth nd b free, or indulge in self-deceiptn/falsehood! I hav just a few questions for u! If our Lord Jesus Christ is d Jehovah God Almighty himself: (1) why did Jesus himself said d Father(Jehovah) is greater than him(Jesus), nd dat d Father sent him JOHN14:28? Ar u sayin Jesus lied against himself? God forbid! (2) why did ISAIAH42:1-10 calld Jesus d "Servant of God"? (3) who else did Jesus claimd as "his Father in heaven" in MATTW18:10 & 19 if he is Jehovah God himself? (4) who spoke afta Jesus' baptism sayin "Dis is my Son whom I love. In whom I am well pleased" MATTW3:16? (5) who did Jesus cried out to sayin, "My God! My God!! why hav u forsaken me" MATTW27:46? who did Jesus calld "Father, into ur hand I commit my spirit"LUKE23:46? (6) why did MARK1:1 referd to Jesus as d Son of God?

@Chiedu. Pls my frnd, go read d Book of Revelatn ova again for proper undastndin! D Bible made it very clear in REV.1:1. dat it was God Almighty (Jehovah) who gave d Revelatn to our Lord Jesus Christ to show us his servnts wat must soon take place. If Jesus in d Jehovah Almighty God, why did REV. 1:6. says Jesus had made us to b a kingdom nd priests to serve "his God nd Father (Jehovah)"?. D REV1:8. u quoted was referin to Jehovah God Almighty, nd not to our Lord Jesus. Dat passage specificaly mentiond "Lord God Almighty", nd thru out d Book of Revelatn Jesus was not calld "Lord God Almighty". Rather, Jesus was variously calld "Son of God" REV2:18, d "Lamb of God" REV5, d "Ruler of God's creation" REV3:14 etc. Even our Lord Jesus himself repeatedly used d phrases "my God", "my Father" in d Book (REV2:3, REV3:2, REV3:12). If Jesus was d Jehovah Lord God Almighty, who else again was he (Jesus) addressin as "my God", "my Father"? In John14:28 our Lord Jesus specificaly said d Father(Jehovah) is greater than him.

Yes i will humbly do that for her. Trust me, i will

Befor u come out she already hook up/going out wit another guy!

@Op. B careful nd mindful of wat u say concernin d faith, so dat u do not mislead pipo! U hav just exposd ur ignorance of d knwledge of truth of d Bible. I'm a Christian. I advice u go study d word of God diligently, prayerfuly nd spiritualy to knw d truth. Thru out d teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ in d NewTestament nowhere did d Lord Jesus claimd to b Jehovah God Almighty, neither did he equate himself wit God Almighty (Jehovah).

Op. B very mindful nd careful of what u say about d faith so dat u do no mislead pipo! U hav just exposed ur ignorant of knwledge of truth of d Bible. I'm a Christian. I advice u go back nd study d word of God diligently, prayerfully nd spiritualy. Thru out d teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ no where did he claim he is Jehovah God Almigthy, neither did he equate himself wit Him (Jehovah). Rather, Jesus made it clear to us dat he is sent by d Father (Jehovah) dat d father is greater dan him Jesus, nd dat he Jesus was doin d work of d Father (Jehovah).

jhuzcoyle:
TITHE IS BIBLICA. Don't pay your tithe and u will live in penury

Wake up frm ur ignorance! How many tithes hav Dangote nd other rich Alhajis today paid bfor they ar gettin
wealthier evryday? Take statistics of d richest men (material/worldly wealths) in d world today nd tell us how many ar Christians! Do u knw dat many of d wealthiest persons (in terms of money) ar Arabs, Indians nd Chinese? Let no one deciev u, d kingdom of God is not all about worldly riches! God gives riches to who ever He wants. Howeva, when u Ask for good things includin monetary riches frm God in faith as a Christian, u shall reciev them! Note: I'm not against those paying tithes because any form of giving always attracts/brings blessings to d giver. May God forgive us evry sins we commitd nd bless us abundantly in Jesus's Name. Amen.

Chai!!! Never seen things like this my entire life.

Igbos should please stop making themselves a laughing stock in this country- the trend is becoming too worrisome.

The Idomas in Benue state also bear Ada (females), while the male variant is Adah, yet you'd never see them make such claims. Of what purpose is this atache by force?? It bespeaks of acute inferiority complex honestly.

They ar a very funny set of pipo plagued by inferiority complex! Why can't they for once face d truth dat they ar negroes (black) nd ar not in anyway relatd to d Israelis who ar pure semitic (white) pipo! It is like sayin dat because som tribes in Latin America share som names wit Urhobo (e.g. Otega, Noriega, Oke, Otunu, etc), there4 they ar of d same origin wit Urhobo pipo. Igbos shuld b proud of dia black heritage nd not make public mockery thru silly attachment to pipo who care less about them. Even in d Bible, there ar so many Hebrew names sharin similar meanings in Urhobo.

If a Deputy Governor can not stand in for the Governor as prescribed in our Constitution, what is the need having one? Governor Okowa elected and given the mandate by the people to govern Delta state. The Ministers and other members of Federal Government delegation are mere civil servants and Presidential appointees. In Nigerian protocol ranking they are far below the Deputy Governor. Consequently what the Federal Government delegation did was a clear breach of protocol and humiliating insult to the people of Delta State.

Point of correctn! It is neva a humiliatin insult to us Deltans, but rather it is to only Okowa nd his PDP corruptn gang who forced dia way into power against wishes of majority of Deltans! Who voted in Okowa nd Otuaro? Do u think d FG is not aware dat Otuaro (Deputy Gov) is Tompolo's loyal boy foistd on d state thru PDP's riggin machine unda GEJ's tenure? Howeva, let there b continuos pipo in our lands. Amen.

Beremx:
I thought some dimwits said Tompolo is untouchable? Why is he crying to Buhari to save him?

im never see anything!

I'm a Deltan. When I was replyin som ignorant online fools who neva mean well for Nigeria dat Tompolo doesn't hav d capacity to fight d FG unda PMB, they doubtd me. They were even mockin dat no Nigeria Security agent can enta d creeks to arrest Tompolo, nd dat I shuld lead such mission! I laughd at dia stupidity because they don't knw dat JTF has military posts all ova d creeks. Is it not d same Tompolo they boastd of his powers dat has already gone into hidin, nd even cryin of threat to his person? As at ystrday, d same creek they said no soldier can enta hav already bin taken ova by JTF! There ar indigenes even within his LGA (Warri S-W) who may b ready to fish out Tompolo frm his hidin! Even Tompolo himself knws dat it may b suicidal for him to engage in armed confrontatn wit d present FG in Nigeria. May peace continue to reign in our lands. Amen.

I share som of my observatns nd research findings here soonest.

deathmen12:
bt was dsame keyamo that was cryn sumtim ago dat tompolo want to kil him, whch part of delta r u frm? or wre u in creek with them, since everybody in warri is insultn him u cum out openly and insultn him, cos u re here vomitn nonsense

Ur silly comment shows dat u ar not frm Delta State! U ar dat kind of person dat can trickishly lure others to do wrong, while u craftly hide in safety when it backfires. Tompolo himself knws dat he can't fight d FG. Even his Okerenkoko Community had come out openly to support EFCC! Howeva, may peace nd love always reign supreme in our land. Amen.

deathmen12:
this keyamo is jst runing his mouth bcs he saw pple talkn, he shld be careful cos life is precious,as ameachi talk reach, he they avoid that guy like sumtin else, he shld go and ask ameachi little things about the guy tompolo..

Which real Delta man is afraid of Tompolo, mr man? Haven't u heard of members of his community (Okerenkoko) came out to openly supportd EFCC to probe Tompolo? If Tompolo was dat strong nd feared, wuld his community b dat bold to challenge him? Do u think Keyamo a fellow Warri guy wit residence in Effurun is afraid of Tompolo? Not true! Come to Warri, u see boys openly blasted nd insulted Tompolo for bin greedy durin GEJ's tenure witout fear. I sense it dat many of u makin silly comments ar Igbos who hav dis sentimental hatred for Buhari, nd u hav neva set foot in d creeks but rely on exagerated remours about capability of militants! We indigenes knw situation of things.

waternogetemeny:
I nominate Keyamo to enter creek go arrest Government.


Keyamo go lead first, police and army go follow for back. Abi Police and Army no be persin papa?

D way u pipo talk here shows dat u hav neva bin to d creeks of d Niger-Delta! Who told u there ar no Nigeria's security presence in d creeks? I'm frm Delta State, nd I hav bin to Oporoza nd Okerenkoko (Tompolo's hometown). Let me tell u, there ar numerous JTF checkpoints mounted by well-armed military personnel along d waterways in d delta . They (JTF) ar there in d creeks day nd night, nd u don't drive ur speedboat pass witout submittin urself for security checks. Btw Warri MainMarket Jetty nd Oporoza town (hqtrs of Gbaramatu Kingdom), there ar about 2 to 3 military checkpoints along d waterways/creeks. I just laugh at som pipo's ignorance when they comment about Tompolo here. If d FG wants to arrest Tompolo they wil do it wit ease! Even Tompolo himself knws dat!

@MrAnalyst.
I neva said dat d Igbo nation originatd frm Benin(Aka). My only argument was d person of Eri who just came into d scene as recently as 900AD. Or ar u tryin to say dat Igbo pipo only came into existnce as recently as 900AD? No! Igbo ancestors must hav bin occupyin dia lands centuries bfor Eri came to found Nri in 900AD. Wat Eri nd his party possibly did was organiz nd unite d already existin Igbo communties into a kingdm in 900AD. There ar number of facts why I postulatd dat ancient Aka(Benin) was origin of Eri1) d commonplace of d ancient names Eri, Udo nd Aka in Ogiso Dynasty's history/folklores;(2) D interestin emergnce of Nri Kingdm almost immediatly afta d collapse of d Ogiso Dynasty in 900AD. History recorded it dat d fall of d Ogiso Dynasty generatd widespread chaos which led to mass-migratn of pipo out of Udo capital of ancient Aka Kingdm, e.g, many Urhobo-Isoko clans;(3) d fact dat Igbos were republicans in nature, nd as such Nri kingdm buildin was likely an initiativ frm outside source.

MrAnalyst:
Authenticity of what? This fairytale you posted? You're slow. You can leave me alone now.

Who is holdin u, mr dullard?

MrAnalyst:
Go and seat down. That misinformation you proffered up there deserves worse. A tongue-lashing is very much in order. I won't have thrashed you if you'd posted something remotely sensible. Misinformation shouldn't be allowed to slide like that. Drop that Edoid bullshit,it's not floating

U knw nothin! Who thrashd who? Whether u accept it or not, "Eri" d founder of Nri was a migrant frm d ancient Aka Kingdm (Benin) who left Udo (ancient capital of Aka Kingdm) followin d chaos dat trailed d fall of d Ogiso Dynasty in 900AD. If u were a bit rational nd sensible, u wuld hav used dis opprtunity to conduct researchs to find out d authenticity of my claims/hypothesis, nd not resortin to insult! But ur deep-rootd stupidity nd ignornce won't allow u do dat. Wat a pity! Even common sense is enorf to teach u dat Igbos were neva knwn to b empire-builders, nd as such, external influences might hav bin behind d foundatn of Nri as a kingdm, for Igbos were republican by nature!

MrAnalyst:
You're not mad,you're just very very dumb. Don't talk like a mor on! The origin of the Igbos precedes that Edoid bullshitt,cocck and bull story you're typing up there. Get it into your head-Igbo origin precedes that misinformation you presented. Look at his mouth like Edoid. Rubbish!

It is almost a waste of time tryin to enlighten u, because u ar too dull to understand. All u knw is just to throw insults at others witout ever tryin to find out d truth!

MrAnalyst:
May God himself curse you! Throwing insults on a faceless forum is one thing but re-writing my history with this edoid spittle is just too far. Look at the stinking crevice you call a mouth you're using to refer aka,udo and my own eri as edoid. For this misinformation,may God himself curse you. Silly thing!

I pity u wit ur reckless, childish nd silly utterances! Mr man for ur informatn, I'm blessed forever by GOD ALMIGHTY nd I can neva b cursed! Ur curse has gone back to u. I can see frm ur write-up dat u lack a sense of history just like many of ur pipo. By tellin me dat Aka, Udo, nd Eri ar not Edoid names shows ur poor knwledge of history. I advice u go for proper research or study of ancient Edoid history to upgrade urself. Udo is a well knwn ancient town in Edoid history, locatd close to Benin City nd stil exist til today. On d otherhand, Aka was d ancient name of d kingdom durin d Ogiso Dynasty until d name was changd to Benin nd Edo durin d Oba Dynasty.

Marcelini:
You are simply not making any sense. Nri civilization was older and more magnificent than that of Bini.
For while Bini used force to command submission, Nri wielded spiritual influence over it's area of influence.

Putting Bini, a brutal barbarian empire built on Blood of her weak neighbors, with Nri, a spiritual powerhouse that preached spiritual holiness, peace and tolerance , on the same sentence, is an insult to the great Nri.

Lets b logical here! How old was Nri? When was Nri founded; Was it not in 900AD? Don't u knw dat centuries bfor dat 900AD, Benin (Aka Kingdom) was already a well establishd flourishin Kingdom under d Ogiso kings? Do u think Benin Kingdm only startd wit d Oba Dynasty? Mind u, d Oba Dynasty which came into been in 1100AD was just a continuatn of d ancient Aka Kingdom which was later renamed Benin Kingdom by Prince Oranmiyan! Bfor d Oba Dynasty there was d Ogiso Dynasty which collapsd in 900AD, d very century Nri was establishd.

cheruv:
Benin paid homage to Nri but am not sure agbor paid homage to Benin... By 1750,agbor had thrown off the yoke of benin.
Agbor is the westernmost fortress of Igboland...so its natural that they'd have cultural exchanges with the king of Idu

Why do u hav to make public ridicule of urself? Where in history was it recorded dat ancient Benin ever paid homage to inconsequential Nri? Was Nri even a signifcant kingdom in pre-colonial Southern Nigeria? Where hav u seen a king payin homage to his slaves/subjects (Igbo)? Do u knw d origin of d name "Igbo", nd what it means? Ar ur forefathers not d ones who told d whitemen dat "Igbo hav no king"? Then how com about dis recent attempts to re-write history wit exageratd Nri? D so-calld "Nri Kingdom" was establishd by an "Aka" (Benin) royal priest by name "Eri" who left "Udo" (a village near Benin City) and migratd eastward followin d collapse of d Ogiso Dynasty of ancient Aka Kingdom in 900AD. Eri in Edoid language means spirit!

cheruv:
If they couldn't do it when we declared former Biāfra, how sure are you they'd do it in the future
Moreover I can't remember how many times the lord of agbor fortress burnt down Benin btwn 1760 and 1820

What a terrible lie! Yet Agbor Kingdom continued to pay homage to Benin or seek d Oba of Benin's approval bfor crownin its kings even uptil d time of d British Punitive Expedition of 1897? Even d present Dein of Agbor was at a time nurtured in d Oba's royal palace in Benin bfor bin crowned king! Igboman! don't just attempt to sour d age-long ancestral and cultural links btw Benin and Agbor.

hardywaltz:
If you want to see how developed the Ijaws are go to Bayelsa State where it's 100% Ijaw and u will know how lazy intellectually that tribe is.

Pls take note! Bayelsa is neva 100% Ijaw. There ar pockets of indigenous Urhobo-Isoko communities particularly in Sagbama LGA, and d Bayelsa State Govt and pipo acknowledgd dat! Even d Bayelsa State Commissioner of Works, Mr Ewhrujakpor is an Urhobo-Isoko man.

Ugomba:
Ijaws can't speak in front of Anioma an Igboid group when it comes to Achievements talk more of the Whole Igbo Race.
Gerrararahia. LOL

Hmmn! Who wil stand now wit Tonye to defend d Ijaw Group in dis cyber accusatn since Ijaws ar not so many on Nairaland Forum or not so very much familiar wit d INTERNET?

Proudly a Uniben product! Still remembering wit nostalgia those funny days in Halls 3 and 4. Greatest Unibest descendants! Great! To GOD b all glory.

Carowline:
You guys keep mixing it up. Warri is not the host community of Shoprite... Its in Effurun, Uvwie LGA.

Uvwie is the den of shenanigans and vices, but due to the popularity of Warri and due to its closeness to Warri, it is assumed to be Warri...

#tears... Spoiling my hometown.

It's just dat many non-natives or residents don't knw d differnce btw Warri nd Effurun (Uvwie). Many of d companies nd infrastructures pipo attribute to Warri to day ar actualy located in Uvwie, e.g. Warri Refinery (Ekpan-Uvwie), PTI (Effurun-Uvwie), Shoprite (Effurun-Uvwie), FUPRE (Effurun-Uvwie), PPMC Depot (Ekpan-Uvwie), Nigerian Army Barracks (Effurun-Uvwie), Nigerian Airforce Barracks (Effurun-Uvwie), Enerhen Junction (Effurun-Uvwie) Airport Road (Effurun-Uvwie), NNPC Housing Estate (Ekpan-Uvwie), Golden Tullip Hotels (Effurun-Uvwie), and numerous oil and gas servicing/logistics companies. Uvwie youths need serious re-orientatn and self-discipline!

Congratulatns to Osimhen (Edo State) and Oghenekaro (Delta State) for bin good Ambassadors of d Edo race of Nigeria!

Money40:
but tompolo and asari dokubo Mads clear statement that they are Biafrans in owerri, in front of people and camera, please be proud of your ethnic group, nigger delta is not name of people, am kalabari incase you want to know,

Dat is a shameless lie! Which newspapers carried it? I challengd u to provide d source of ur informatn here to prove ur claim! If u ar sure of what u said, then post d video clips of where nd when Tompolo declared allegiance to Igbo Biafra! It is even an insult to Tompolo for u to allege dat Tompolo of all pipo travelld down to Owerri to pledge loyalty to mere Biafran Agitators who ordinarily shuld b his boys! Go nd read Tompolo's reply letter to his invitatn by EFCC. In dat press release, he (Tompolo) made it categoricaly clear dat he stil believ in d Nigerian Project nd d continous unity of d country.

abduljabbar4:
The worst they can do is to destroy oil pipelines and harm the nation but these boys cannot last 5 months in a face-to-face war. Boko haram despite being dangerious are always hiding and these cheap noise makers are here threatening war.

Somebody should remind asari dokubo that gej lost the election. Maybe he is still sleeping o

Why ar u takin dat news serious? I'm a Niger-Deltan nd at d same time residin in d region. Believ me, no real non-Igbo Niger-Deltan supports joinin Biafra! Biafra is an Igbo project, nd exclusivly for d Igbo pipo. D so-calld Iyoyo (playboy) is an Igbo impostor but masqueradin as Niger-Deltan just to deceiv d public dat we ar part of dia Biafra as they did in d 1960s! It is dia usual trick to drag us Niger-Deltans into dia Igbo Biafra struggle! D fraudster Iyoyo is a fake; he is unknown in d Niger-Delta! Hav u heard of such name Iyoyo among names of popular ex-militant leaders bfor e.g Tompolo, Boyloaf, Ateke Tom, Asari Dokubo, Afri?

bigfrancis21:
How come Bini historical records have no history of this supposed Aka person or even the much-touted Ezechime? Matter of fact, what is your proof of this so-called Aka-Nri migration from Bini?

Are you aware that the 'uku' word in the Bini king's title, 'Omo n'oba akpolokpolo Uku' that means 'great' comes most likely from Igbo, meaning 'great' just as we have Igbo Ukwu, Issele Uku etc. in Igboland?

Are you aware that the Binis, Idomas and Igalas all use the Igbo 4 market days of Eke, Orie/Oye, Afor and Nkwo which are most likely as a result of Nri influence on the Binis, Igalas and Idomas?

One thing u need to knw is dat alot of exodus or outward migratn of pipo occurrd as a result of chaos which trailed d collapse of d Ogiso Dynasty 900AD! And most of dese migratns were not accountd for in Bini history because they took place in a period of unrest, nd moreova, many of dese parties left secretly nd quietly. Do u knw dat ancient name of Benin is Aka?
