✓ I don't know if you have caught this up as Kamala's campaign promise, that's she going to waive out college requirements if you are looking for good paying jobs
I don't need to stress how many Nigerians this will help, hardworking people, in the US if she wins.
I don't know why people ain't talking about this

Wave which college requirement? You actually believe there are companies out there that are going to hire unqualified workers abi wetin?

Krismas:
u are to believe what u like.
The Elephantine people were Jews. If I may use that word. But you can see, they wrote in Aramaic and not Hebrew 500BCE. So if that does not answer your question, I don’t know what else will

Record has it that some Israelites ran off to Egypt begining around 700BC; Also, about 200 years after, some from the nation of Judah -- Jewish sects of Israel --- equally escaped to Egypt.

That again is by the side, my focus remains on claims you have made of the Hebrew language.

Krismas:
✓ U not asking intelligent questions. We are assuming Hebrew Scriptures were already preexisting b4 the New Testament.
So, why will a Hebrew religious instructor, write religious letters to Hebrew audience in Greek? It only shows Hebrew was not an established language of religious instruction.
The New Testament further buttress my point that Hebrew Scriptures were back written from Greek Scriptures.

Again, I made clear that I am not interested in anything you have to say of Scripture or Greek but the Hebrew language alone, and I have asked several questions up till now which you continue to dodge.

God2man2again:
✓ You are also free to give your opinion on what I said but as for me, i rest my case.
Thanks 🙏

🤔

Krismas:
✓ Yahu worshippers in Elephantine that came out from Judaea, wrote letters to Jerusalem in 5th century BCE in Aramaic. Not Hebrew. They didn’t know Solomon or David, Abraham or Moses. Just by the way.
So if Hebrew scripture were back written from Septuagint, then Hebrew writing must not be much older than 400BCE

Am I to take this to mean that you are not able to answer any of the questions I have asked up until this point? 👉

Krismas:
✓ Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo are not languages of scriptures or religion like Hebrew.
✓ Do you suppose an Arabic man will write a letter of religious nature, to an Arabic audience in English?

Languages of Scripture? Again,you avoided answering the questions.

2. Is the Hebrew language a religious language? Why is Hebrew a language of Scripture by the way? Who made Hebrew a language of Scripture or religion?

Krismas:
There was actually one point I raised, which u missed.
4. If Hebrew was an established language, why den will an Hebrew man write the book of Hebrews to Hebrew audience in Greek?
I want u to answer this question.

There is actually a very good reason for that.

Quick question. How many 3rd or 4th generation Hausa Americans or Yorubas or Igbos living all of their lives in America do you know of who write their thoughts or use idioms that are of their native language in all of their writings?

God2man2again:
✓ You asked a question, I answered, you said it means nothing. What else do you want me to write?

You maybe answered the question in your head but not the question I asked.

Krismas:
1. What school did David attend to prepare him to write psalms?
2. Septuagint is an original source and not a translation. Hebrew vocabularies is not more than 8,000 total. While that of Greek is about 5million! No language is as superb as Greek in this world. Did all this religious cranks like Lucifyre think we will fail to spot original from fake?
3. Thanks and bye

Focus already! Leave the mythical creature called David and the Greek Septuagint out of this. I asked you regarding the Hebrew language.

Why are you convinced that the language was not in written form as far back as 1000 BC?

Nicepoker:
Junkie liar. Traumatic experience when you were 3. Low key werey.

So, because you have no memories from that time of your own life therefore no one else could have memories and trauma from as far back as 3 years of age? Is that conclusion not all the confirmation one needs of your apparent lowkey werey? 🤔

Krismas:
■ 1. My point here, is that illiterate, is not someone who can not speak a language, but one who cannot write it. Somewhere in the Bible, Moses was said to write the book of law. In what language would that be? What education did David possess to enable him author his psalms?
3. To be very direct, language studies have really advanced. Experts can tell if a writeup is a translation or not. Septuagint was written in a high level language. It cannot be a translation of a low level language like Hebrew. It’s full of Greek thoughts and idioms that doesn’t exist in Hebrew, words that have no equivalent in Hebrew, etc. To understand what am saying better, try and translate an English article on missile technology in space program into Yoruba, then pretend the English article was a translation from the Yoruba writeup u just concluded

This is a useless point here since my question was not of the speaking but of the writing of the language.

2. You do realize you are still not answering my actual question at all? You claimed the Hebrew language and I asked you of that language, not of the Septuagint.

10 Times National Grid Has Collapsed in 2024
https://x.com/daily_trust/status/1853819646270410755

What makes this all even sadder is that this isn't a local grid collapse or a state or regional grid but a national grid collapse. An entire nation's grid collapsed 10 times in 2024. 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

Krismas:
1. Speaking a language, does not guarantee one can write such language. Speaking and writing are two different skills.
2. Sumerians/Egyptians colonized Canaan at different points in antiquity. In short, Jerusalem is a Sumerian name. So, there is no guarantee Canaan spoke Hebrew far back or for any extended period of time. The place had so many colonial masters.
3. It’s a fact, that no literature older than 300BCE knew of anyone called Abraham Jacob, Moses, David or Solomon. The were all products of Greek literature in the Hellenistic period. Those characters were unknown to worshippers of Yahu before 300BCE.

1. We both know that; this is about the writing of the language and not just the speaking anyway.

2. That too is known. So no need repeating this.

3. My question was not regarding the names of individuals but the written form of the Hebrew language, right?

SadiqBabaSani:
The President often laud himself as a democrat but recent developments shows a man bent on ruling with divide and rule tactics.
Can we say that President Tinubu is a true democrat?
From PDP, LP and now NNPP, he is using his agents to cause division and discord

I think it is safe to conclude that Tinubu never had any respect for Democracy, to begin with, and he never can because all he has ever cared about is being the center of attention. Now that he finally has just that, 10s of millions of Nigerians are sure to pay for it.

Krismas:
✓ David is a mythical character. He neither existed nor did he author any psalms.
Suppose we assume David existed for a minute, what education do u ascribe to him to facilitate writing down long psalms?
✓ Then, if Hebrew were an established form of writing 400BCE, how manage New Testament writers wrote their work in Greek?

Interesting claims!

We know that the sumerian language had a written form from as far back as 2000 years before the time of David whom you regard as a mythical being. And we also know that the Egyptians also had a written form to their language from about 1500 years before the character called David was introduced. So why are you convinced then that the Hebrew language of the Canaanites, next door neighbors to both these other people's could not have had a written form to their own language around 1000 years before the man or myth called David was mentioned?

Since he was born and raised in the very land of Canaan, where the Hebrew language predates his own people moving into take over, why couldn't he have been trained in the writing of the language?

2. The Septuagint was written during the time when parts, of not all of Canaan-- the nation of Judah -- was under greek occupation or has been for about 200 years, and the new testament was compiled many hundreds of years later.

josh123:
The people you call Israel are not the real Israelite... They are imposters...Formed by the west in order to have a foothold of the Middle East. The real Israelite are still scattered around the world

Because many Israelites are scattered around the world, you take that to mean they can't be among those living in the nation that is called Israel today? Is that nation not part of the world?

[color=#1986BC] Maybe she's exhibiting signs of acute stress and anxiety disorder...Maybe as her new baby brother is here, she doesn't know where she fits in the family at all.[/color]

Exactly ! There could be so many medical or psychological reasons to this.

Op, take the kid to see a doctor as soon as you possibly can. My first traumatic experience in life happened when I was just 3.5 years of age and that was the day before my kid brother was born. My life was devastated by that one experience and it wasn't until some time ago that those scars were finally resolved for me. The worst you can do is attempt to trivialize this or pretend it is of phantoms.

Krismas:
Septuagint was not a translation.
Rather it was the original scripture from which Hebrew works like Torah, Tanakh and Dead Sea scrolls were back-written.
While the religious world keep up the lie that it’s the other way around. As though Hebrew was a written language some 400BCE.

Hebrew was not a written language in 400BC? What language did David express his psalms in more than 600 years before that?

Exceptional300:
nope. Perfectly legal big dawg

It is illegal in my own state that is why I ask you to please check so you don't get yourself in trouble just for a few clicks.

Exceptional300:
Hey Guys,
I am going to be sharing pictures of my experience as a first time American Voter.
Sit back and relax

Is this not illegal? Aren't these signs at the polling boots that warm against taking pictures or something?

RSAV:
Experienced parents please comment. My 3 year old daughter, she would be 4 years old in Feb, is sharp and very bright. It only happened occasionally that she would pee on herself. Usually when engrossed in cartoon. However, it the last 4 weeks, it has become an everyday occurrence. She would even poo on herself! I've talked to her, yet no serious change. I just had a baby boy few weeks ago. Could this be responsible for the change in my daughter? If yes, how best can it be handled? It's already affecting her in school.

How in the world would you having a baby few weeks ago be the reason behind your smart 3-year-old kid pissing and pooing herself everyday? Abeg, take your 3-year-old to go see a doctor immediately.

Many Nigerians In the United States are sending messages warning of the dangers of Voting Donald Trump in the ongoing US presidential election.
Seems to be a Nigerian agenda as other African countries in US don't care who wins

Na Nigerians for Nigeria go tell Nigerians for America who to vote for? Na people wey never even see their left from their right people wey dey U.S. go come listen to?

MomohMrMoore:
There is no economy minister. We have a team of tax collectors. Their only policy is how to collect from the people and concentrate wealth in the hand of the government. That is why you have the worst performing currency in Africa and a galloping inflation with manufacturing companies collapsing by the day. The country descending to destruction.

Concentrate wealth in the hands of the government through collection of taxes?

striking:
■ Sure, yet every Sunday people still seem to fill up churches.

I don't follow. People team into markets as well... what is your point?

Missroyalluv:
Honestly, some African men are very wicked. How can you abandon a woman with your child all in the name of selfish reason. Was that the same story you told her before she opened her legs for you?

Women tell some of the same stories too. So, saying because he lied is a reason why he should be held to what he said is nonsense! When a woman agrees to have sex with a man she does so with her brain intact and fully accepting responsibility for the outcome of her own decision in that.

Missroyalluv:
■ why are women left to determine that alone?
■ Why do some men walk away after they had made mistakes by not using protection?
■ Why leaving the whole load on the woman and the child?

A woman comes fully equipped with a brain of her own and the ability to make choices. So long as rape is not involved, the responsibility for protecting her womb lies solely with her person. That is why I asked earlier if the woman was some sort of imbe_cile because in that case, she could probably have a guardian of hers recommend she have her tubes tied so she does not continue giving birth to children she has no way of providing for or catering to.

2. For consensual sex to take place, it requires agreement between both the man and the woman. The responsibility lies on the woman to protect her womb at all costs, and for the man to protect his sperm as well. In the case that the woman fails to do so, she is to face the consequence of her ignorant choice. If the man fails to protect his sperm, he too should face the consequence of his ignorant choice. However, the consequence to be faced by the man depends on the woman.

3. The child comes out of the woman's womb so it is up to her to choose the right mate and to ensure she uses all within her means — the law — to ensure that whatever male fathered the child at least provides for the child in some way.

Yet he will keeps causing nuisance all over nairaland claiming him and his useless oga is building Nigeria. according to the Godforsaken idiot Nigeria is working ,yet hunger wan kill am for Ogbomosho

Many of these APC bots you see spending many hours online are themselves not in Nigeria though.

9jatriot:
■ All the reports you are posting are saying "projected to", "expected to" etc to keep prices fixed, so the question is has PMS prices had a fixed since May 29th? In all the report, they start with this "projected to" and then cycle back to telling us the history of the subsidy removal. Not one of them explicitly stated that any subsidy was or is paid. The only one I couldn't read is the one from IMF, perhaps that one would have had more substance.

This whole is about the actual cost of fuel subsidy since May 29, 2023 announcement that the subsidy had been removed. The House is investigating NNPCL's debt of over $3.2 billion which it claims FG owes it. But here you are rambling about some price?

maternal:
■ Mother passed away, and a cousin stole her house. This is a person we took care off from birth, as his mother, my Auntie, died from child birth. My mother bought that house and let him live there rent free for decades. He was literally waiting for her to die. I decided not to prosecute him because it's cheaper to cut him off financially. The house wasn't worth that much. He's now crying as the money is finished. Begging for forgiveness. I have blocked and disowned every family member in that zoo of a country. Every single asset is being sold off as i'm completing my divorce from that country and its people.
■ My good friend who's based in the UK, and her brothers are based in Canada & US, decided to hire domestic help, as their momsy is still based in naija. All make good money in pounds and dollars. They hired a driver. Paid him 150k naira per month. Paid his daughters school fees. They'd give him food to go home with every night. Enough food for his wife and daughter. This man decided to defraud them of 300k naira. 2 months worth of salary. They sacked him and he cameback crying as he's now jobless and looking hungary. He's been banned from the estate by the security. He even attempted to fight the new driver.
■ You see, the typical Nigerian in Nigeria is a thief and bafoon. Anybody without serious Dangote like connections who decides to invest within that jungle called Nigeria is a fool. Point blank. If your employees don't steal from you, your family members will. The people are no different from the politicians. Incompetent thiefs.

When examining the people, you begin to understand why the entire nation is where it is today. A trap and weapon fashioned against anyone who thinks they can go on and make it great again without directing the fight against the people's general mentality as a whole.

God2man2again:
■ In the beginning, it was not so, God put us in the best state for our own good, unfortunately, Adam and Eve ate the fruits that opened our eyes and became knowledgeable which led humanity from one sin of disobedience to lying and to murder.

This means nothing as far as the question I asked.

God2man2again:
That's the problem with human beings, when we understand the consequences then we become like God to know the difference between good and evil just like Adam and Eve did in the garden of Eden.

This here is a problem why?

Emmanuel909090:
■ Because big companies are packing up, you think everyone is suffering? Anyways when you have a chicken mind you will always think like one.
■ This same economy is favourable to some people. Secondly, you think I have not planned out one for myself? Even if the economy returns to Johnathans regime, and you fail to make proper plan and run back to Nigeria, my brother you would have still suffered.

Some of you are just plain wicked! It didn't occur to you before this that when big companies packup, the small companies that make up their contractor base and all those who work for them are equally likely to suffer. Just one big company packing up may mean almost 1000 smaller companies may also pack up. That is employment to many 1000s of people we are talking of. But I guess, the average Nigerian does not care about these things particularly when it does not directly affect them in the way they see it. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

2. It is always favorable to some people, so suffering and smiling have become a national pastime. An entire nation of over 200 million black people rolling around in what many in the rest of the world would never again allow themselves to experience but people like you think it a thing of pride to condone and even pass it on to the next generation as their lot. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 🙄🙄🙄🙄
