brainhgeek: Your belief is a personal thing, if you trust God to heal you if you caught corona, He will. If you trust that you can never have corona even if they make corona juice for you, you will not. I have seen miracles that defy medical explanations (I know somethings in human medicine, so I am not speaking out of nothing). I have seen God is not punishing the world with Corona. Humanity is self destructing. God can however provide a refuge. People were sick in the time of Jesus and other prophets but He went about doing good and healing the sick......and He still does. You only need to walk with Him to experience Him. You don't know me so you cannot testify of me but if you come close, you will stop judging from afar and by experience, you can testify or condemn me. Same with walking with Jesus
So they people who have died of corona didn’t pray to get healed? I know a story of a young woman , devout Christian, who died and left her children.. how do you explain that?
And again, there have been prayer upon prayer for this to end.. but yet it stays. And upon all the pastors and ‘men of God’ we have in this country, not ONE was told this was coming. Isn’t it normal for God to warn his prophets? Ontop of that, TBJ went on to predict it would end last year.. but yet it prevails
Humans are very interesting creatures, when they can’t explain something they come up with spiritual or extraordinary reasons for such anomalies.. all you’re telling me is not unexpected.
Years before the Bible, people worshipped the Sun and the Moon because they did not understand it. People also assumed the Earth was flat because they did not understand it, people worship weird objects because they appear unique.. same way people believe in a God because they want hope or don’t understand the reasons behind something. And these beliefs are easily strengthened by ‘confirmation bias’ , that is, every little thing that may support your beliefs are given more focus whilst disregarding the other side of the story
P.s you should check the woman’s IG account, she’s a PR consultant and she’s posted her church on her ‘miracle’ post. You should also ask her for her previous genotype test.
brainhgeek: You obviously don't believe in miracles. I have seen SS turn AA. In both cases, physiological and clinical evidences are only buttressed by laboratory facts. 'Impossible' has never stopped Jesus!
Sooooo why hasn’t the Coronavirus stopped? Or are people not praying for it to stop? Or why didn’t anyone see it coming? Did he not want to tell anybody
Tobichimezie: It's easier catching someone with drugs than someone involved in cyber fraud... white substance deals always fetch far more money, but it's a high risk high reward odd so that's why lots of Igbos rather take the risk for the higher reward.
You forget to mention that carrying drugs is easy and requires no intelligence however cyberfraud does require some sense
Dpharisee: Elon Musk produces electric cars and high powered batteries called Tesla Power Wall with 20 years warranty. The reality is that Elon Musk is making the oil which we are still spending billions to search for in the North to become useless. Some gas and coal power plants in UK are on the verge of shutting down because many homes can now generate their own power and even sell excess back to the grid using Power Wall and solar.
Countries like UAE and Saudi Arabia seeing the 'danger' posed by Tesla are developing futuristic models to diversify from oil which may not rebound as demand remains low coupled with the impact of Covid19.
Nigeria which failed to plan is now in a tight corner, UK and France in 2019 have already declared a 10 year deadline to phase out all petrol and diesel cars. This was what happened to coal driven locomotives years back when oil and gas was discovered.
Nigeria seeing Elon Musk gradually taking down our sole source of revenue resorted to taking loans from China, IMF, world bank, Brazil and babiya Allahring for help from every corner of the earth in taking care of either insecurity or Covid19.
Now that we have over borrowed and the likelihood of repayment from oil is now slimmer and our creditors are no longer ready to grant us more loans we are resorting to stealing people's money that are dormant in the banks to pay civil servants salaries instead of looking for the owners of the deposits and dividends
I very rarely see posts that make sense on Nairaland, this is one of them. Well said.
CandyOps: Hmmm.... this is exactly the problem. Devil and God!
You see I don't think I can ever get to employ or live with or date anyone who is superstitious or religious because they're all mentally deranged and easily cajoled people. And even if I do, I'll be extremely cautious and never at rest.
Because na only religious people dey do nasty unthinkable stuffs like this including- washing and cooking with water used in washing private body parts and dead bodies/cadaver from mortuary, ritual killings, witchcraft, yahoo plus, voodoo and other African superstitious shits.
It is only logical to say that religion is killin Africans in droves every single day.
Because na when person believe say God dey him go also believe Satan dey exist. If by chance I get to ever become a governor or public office holder one of the first bills I'll pass would be the bill of criminalizing religion.
I'd copy the Chinese govt. and throw anyone who believes in spirits to a mental home.
Anyone who strongly believes a 'spirit' or unseen voice can talk to him or direct his/her life should have his/her head examined.
In fact, I don't even need the govt. If and when I have kids, I'll have the school exempt them from all religious activities and studies.. and will sue any institution that tries to put my kids through such abuse
Did I hear you say you'll put oyakilome and his buddies in a mental hospital? When can I vote?
Odewaleadesoye: There are many things people don't understand about living in abroad. People think life is rosy over there. No, it's not. Let me tell you some few things with my little knowledge of stay at Dublin, Ireland.
1. You won't be able to attend the same school with the oyinbos.
2. Your credit score will always drop sha.
3. Government will give you a special apartment meant for the black and this will reduce your credit score.
4. You can't buy things even if you're extremely rich.. You must build your credit score.
5. I guess you can't withstand the abscond and bullying. They will torment your life as hell. Nigeria government can't help out on this issue. It has been like that and it will always be.
6. The place is damn quite.
7. Here in Nigeria, you can piss anywhere but try that in Dublin, you're a gonna.
My fellow Nigerians, honestly, you can make wave and ways in this country with the little that you have. Don't stress yourself absconding to abroad.
I'm talking from experience.
Well, to George Nkencho, may his soul rest in peace. God will comfort his family.
Let me also use this opportunity to wish everyone here happy new year.
2021 is going to be our year of divine breakthrough and unlimted blessings. We shall recover all things we lost in many folds.
ODEWALE ADESOYE
ARRANT NONSENSE!!! As someone who has lived in Europe for 20years I can confidently tell you that you know NOTHING!
cashkid18: The rate at which Yoruba ladies are being trafficked to go and suck Arab dicks is becoming alarming..where is the stupid amoketun terrorists when you need them
But your Mama's part of them no? Have they returned her yet? I hear she's into camel phallus
emkz: "I am not down with this description "people of colour". It is derogatory IMV. So the people who are describing others as people of colour are not people of colour themselves? Same people who pronounce Iran as Hi-ran and Iraq as Hi-raq instead of Hee-ran and Hee-raq, respectively. And I do not believe "people of colour" should be given jobs because they are "people of colour", but given jobs because they are the best for the jobs. And I certainly don't expect CNN to make any news of it, it makes it seem as though they are being done a favour. I am not a person if colour, I am a person: I will treat you as a human being because that is what you are. Your skin is something you'd discard at death and is not of prime imporance."
Logon59: Ozil is actually not as good as he's made to believe he is. However it's his attitude on the pitch that's a stinker. I wouldn't let him anywhere near a team I'm managing..
How can you say he's not that good?? Someone who had the most assists in the league!!
The problem with Ozil is his work rate, sometimes I watch him on the field and he looks like he's given up and can't be asked to pursue the ball.
Also you have all the off-the-field issues like his girlfriend problems and connections with Turkey's president etc that easily affect his mental state on the pitch
He has been claiming intelligence, how many individual tasks did Laycon win in the house?
He never claimed anything, it's the viewers who labelled him as such. Do people actually come out saying "I'm intelligent" ? Only Donald Trump does that.
NathanKAY: 400k in 2018 as an Engineer, then got to 700k by early 2019 after a promotion, got to 1m by early 2020. . . But now cut down to 700k again because of the whole pandemic. I am still grateful regardless
Commonsense99: Whenever you see a Nigerian Nigg@ arean as the caption, be rest assured its a Biafran... If it was crime these urchins would have used his name or tribe a refference.
Seun this is what your forum is now known for: A cesspit of ethnic hatred! When I joined 10yrs ago I did so because it was a place to have a laugh and share thoughts, but now these people have turned it into a disgusting forum, smh
Slynation: And they decided to elevate someone and belittle the other for an action the latter is yet to commit...?? Men, that's so unprofessional and bias...
GBAM!! The article showed bias towards one person based on CHARACTER. Nothing to do with tribalism which is my point.
If it was an article pitching a Yoruba man against another Yoruba man would you still make your comment that "it must have been written by a Westerner"? Stop being paranoid and Stop crying Wolf!
majamajic: No the other person is not igbo , SW has the highest number , just go follow the program, this morning now the weekly task is on rape , so u see again now
He may not be SE but you catch my drift regardless.. This conversation is over.
majamajic: Go read the article and stop arguing , u can't be wiser than the organizers that took it down , SW has the highest number of housemates this year again but that's not the issue , the issue is pushing a particular housemate above others
GBAM!! "The issue is pushing a particular housemate above others". Thank you. You've answered the question.
The only reason you're shouting tribalism is because the other person is Igbo. If they were both Yoruba or Igbo you won't say anything, but the moment it's an Igbo person on the receiving end you'll say it's tribalism.
And no, SW does not have the highest number. Overall it's SE/SS with the highest according to you.
majamajic: Be following the show u will understand , ok why they pulled it down and apologized ? If it was not a favourable article
Because of people like you who kept insinuating that it was tribalism. The best PR move is to take it down and apologize. Also he comes from a billionaire family and so I won't be surprised if some strings were pulled.
I'm still waiting for you to show me where you saw the tribalism in a contest with majority SE/SS people? (Not to talk of the host who's also SE/SS)
LadiIshola: I swear it's very disgusting reading most comments here. I chose to refrain from replying most of them but I think it has gotten to a point where I can't just take it anymore. They're building this hatred for the Igbos in me gradually, despite the fact that the successful, and hard-working igbos are not concerned about who rules who or who occupies what position as long as their hustles are paying. You only told the jobless and frustrated ones online ranting and spreading hate. Their cups will soon fill up. It's only a matter of time.
I feel you 100%. I think the problem is NL, because I don't see all this 'Igbo vs the world' nonsense in other online platform as much.
At some point I had to leave NL because the hate was just too much and I couldn't go a day without seeing tribalist tussles left and right with tribalist slurs flying up and down, Igbos, skull miners and all sorts of garbage!! And Seun does hardly anything about it!! People come to this forum and also pick up on this hatred (even me myself)... We should always remember that the Hutu vs Tutsi hatred started from simple radio broadcasts before snowballing into the genocide of 800,000 people.
Do not allow yourself to become filled with hate, instead just leave NL.
