ARE YOU A BIAFRAN?
Those who arrested and sentenced Isaac Adaka Boro to death for declaring Niger Delta Republic were neither Hausa-Fulanis nor Yorubas but two supposed brothers of his and Biafrans named Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi who were still on the side of Gambaris and still trying to please them as at then. For declaring Niger-Delta Republic Ironsi, the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to get Isaac Boro arrested for treason.
Ojukwu, in an attempt to please Gambaris, fought Isaac Boro for 14 days within which he used federal might of “one-Nigeria” to kill 150 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro, caught Isaac Boro, stripped him naked and sent him over to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and within just 2 months got him convicted, at the Supreme Court, of treasonable felony of trying to break away from Azikiwe’s one Nigeria, got him sentenced to death by hanging. While Ironsi​ and Ojukwu did all that to Isaac Boro​, they left untouched their own Igbo brother soldiers who planned a coup with which they killed Innocent Hausas, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, Middle belters leaving Igbo politicians unharmed despite they, like Zik and Okpara, were part and parcel of the corrupt Balewa government.
However, before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their sentence on Isaac Boro God intervened and the counter coup happened. Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over declared Isaac Boro innocent and released him. But just fifteen months later Ojukwu too declared Biafra Republic due to the way Igbos were being killed in the North. In declaring Biafra, rather than first apologise to Isaac Boro for what he earlier did to him and then ask for his cooperation in fighting to realize the Biafra dream, Ojukwu did nothing like that but without consulting Boro at all went as far as arrogantly including in his Biafra map the very Niger Delta areas which Isaac Boro earlier tried to pull out of Nigeria and which he (Ojukwu) nearly killed him for.
This angered Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa who both pledged support for Gowon in order to teach Ojukwu a bitter lesson for his arrogance and dishonesty. That was why Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa fought on the side of Gowon during the war. Naturally Isaac Boro couldn’t have come out of prison to join the Ojukwu who jailed him and fight against the Gowon who released him. It would have been absurd. No rational human being does that.
This is the truth of what happened and which Igbos hate to hear but prefer to blame everyone else as if they themselves were 100℅ innocent.
Igbos must learn to say the truth because if the Biafra/Niger Delta Republic they now seek is founded on lies and deliberate falsehood, like Nigeria, it will not stand but will soon become a failed state like Nigeria. We can’t leave Nigeria for another Nigeria.
But we however know that Igbos allergy to truth is incurable, therefore Niger-Delta states will never be part of Biafra

Kobojunkie:
So what part of that do you not understand?

The part that He tells you exactly what God Himself declared through Isaiah, Jeremiah, and even Ezekiel, that He alone will Teach His followers.. That job does not belong to any man.

Or the part where He states clearly that His followers should never install themselves as teachers/rabbis etc over His own?

Kobojunkie:
You claim to belong to Jesus Christ so how can you ask me to be a teacher to you when Jesus Christ said that He alone is the Teacher to those who are His followers?

Kobojunkie:
Again....

Kobojunkie:
You are the one who preaches doctrines that contradict the very teachings of Jesus Christ, the Word(Spirit) of God.

If Jesus Christ, the one you claim to believe in. instructed you to do as He did, yet you refuse to obey Him, How can you claim He lives in You? Is He a liar?

Kobojunkie:
Oh, you only believe the person of Jesus Christ as you were probably told of by your pastors but you don't believe in His teachings, even though it is one of His many commandments you has to obey in order to be saves from Death, and be gifted with eternal life(grace upon grace) instead?

So, if only the one commandments was all you had to obey, why did the Gospel of John continue "meaninglessly" for an additional 18 chapters?

Kobojunkie:
To believe is to believe Jesus Christ is who He says He is. To who believe in Him are redeemed from the condemnation of sin(Death, not sin itself) and granted instead with eternal life but without a guarantee of Heaven. John 3 vs 16-21.

To accept(trust) and obey is to submit, mind, body and soul to the obedience and carrying out of His commandments in all-wise. Those who accept and obey His teachings are called Sons of God for they are no longer slaves to sin but Children of God and to this Jesus Christ declared that He will live inside of. It is to these that the Kingdom of Heaven is promised for they do the Will of the Father in Heaven. John 8. John 14-16.

Mystery? The Truth of God arrived over 2000 years ago and spoke His Truth to the nations. If you still do not know the Truth of Jesus Christ as He spoke it over a millennia before you were born, I suggest you get to reading The Gospels to learn truth for yourself. No one else can help you get into Heaven.

Kobojunkie:
Where did Jesus Christ, the one you profess to believe in, tell you that you bear fruit by observing ordinances and traditions of what you call the "church of Christ"?
Jesus Christ never commanded you to gather in what you call your "church of Christ" and He warned you vehemently against adopting the doctrines and traditions of men.

_{** substituted from another Bible translation for better understanding of what is impacted}

Jesus Christ commanded you against the following of ordinances and traditions of men, which He concluded were lies meant to deceive and rob you of the power of God in your lives and render meaningless your worship of God. Why do have such a terrible time trusting Jesus Christ's own words to you?
So, according to you, Jesus Christ is a Liar since according to Jesus Christ, it isn' those who believe in Him that He lives in but instead those who accept(trust) and Obey His teachings that He abides in.

Are you sure you should be telling anyone of Jesus Christ if as it is, you refuse to accept and obey Him, openly mind you, choosing instead the doctrines and traditions of men, lies, as your own truth?

Jesus Christ never commanded you to build anything for Him or in His name so what exactly are you building? Of what meaning is your building when it is built on lies of men, sand that can never hold against the Word of God?

Kobojunkie:
You don't even know the Spirit of God because you don't even accept (trust) and obey the teachings/commandments of Jesus Christ which He, Jesus Christ, told you is the characteristics of those who are His followers. Only those who abide(trust and obey His commandments) in Him, will He abide in, and He and the Father will make their home in- those are the Truth as revealed by Jesus Christ Himself.

If you do not even do what Jesus Christ commands, what makes you think that you are an "insider" as far as Jesus Christ is concerned?

OR are you suggesting that Jesus Christ lied?

Kobojunkie:
How does any of this address my earlier response? Or are you trying to take your rejection of the teaching of Jesus Christ on my person?

Kobojunkie:
What is "special" about doing that which Jesus Christ never commanded of anyone of you to do?

Jesus Christ commands His followers to hide away from the eyes and ears of others when they pray to His Father.

Yet, in direct disobedience to the very teachings of Jesus Christ, 10's of millions of those who claim to believe in Jesus Christ troop, every week, to pray exactly against the commandment of Jesus Christ. So tell me, what is it that is "special" about the deceit that many of you practice?

Kobojunkie:
it is just a freaking day, like any other day.

WHEN THE CHURCH BECOMES A BUSINESS

1) Pastors function like CEOs
2) Members are turned into customers
3) Other churches are seen as competitions
4) Evangelism is reduced to marketing
5) Church planting looks more like franchising.

6) Numbers are primary measure of success
7) Prayer and Word study are replaced by formulas
Revival is reduced to a few days fund-raising
program
9) Preaching sounds more like motivational speech. All the people do is shout "I receive, Amen," throughout the concert. I mean the "service".

10) Praise and Worship is turned into a
performance. The best actors are made the worship and praise leaders.
11) The Spirit of God is reduced to "emotionalism". No real power of God other than hypnosis and sensationalism.

12) The saints are entertained instead of equipped
13) Disciples of Christ have become papa's sons, daughters and fans.
14) The Church, a living Body has now become a lifeless body
15) A leader's empire is built instead of the
Kingdom of God advanced
16) The pastor becomes the super man and Jesus Christ reduced to just another religious figure.
