gidgiddy: I don't think anyone had to like Martin Luther King before they accept that racism is wrong
I don't think that anyone had to like Mandela before they accept that apartheid rule is wrong
I don't think anyone had to like Mahatma Ghandi to realise that colonial rule cannot be forever
So it follows the same pattern that nobody has to like Nnamdi Kanu to realise that self determination/freedom is a right everyone has.
The white majority did not like Martin Luther King, the white minority did not like Mandela and the colonial masters did not like Ghandi
Majority of Nigerians wont like Nnamdi Kanu who seeks to break up Nigeria. The important thing to note is that Nnamdi Kanu is preaching the freedom and self determination of his people via the democratic instrument of referendum and this is a just cause in all sane societies.
Wether Kanu himself is a good person, a fraud , a charlatant or any negative is beside the point. The message is what is important, not the messenger
you just make my day. I will like to get u a 5mb MTN data, pls a DM
For sometimes now news has gone viral that the current person sitting at sit of power in Aso Rock is not the real president of Nigeria, but an imposter from Sudan in the person of jubril. At first i have never want to comment anytime I saw the news here on nairaland, reason is, aside that I which we got biafra, I'm not the type that makes mockery of someone most especially when talking about death. (I don't mock death people. I believed that all of us will die one day). But the issue on ground is not something we should overlooked. The Nigeria investigating journalist has alot to do here. It will be a shame if at the end everything turns out to be truth.
Nigerians deserves to know the real situation of things. As I have many reasons I'm writing this. One of the reason was because of the picture below. Why is the person on the left picture not having an open teeth like the person on the right?
KingSatan: Mynd44, I don't see any difference between you and the lady in Quote.
As a Moderator, it is expected you lead by example, You promote peace and unity, you teach people the basics of life and true gospel of HUMANITY.
A quick check on your profile, shows you are the most controversial Moderator on Nairaland and this "status" have not earned you accolades, trophies or awards but curses, insults and abuses because of your shallow reasoning and biased judgement especially on issues related to Nigeria's Politics/Politicians.
for those claiming femi or feminist, this picture speaks alot and has some info for u. The wife believed that man and woman are not equal. U can see she clearly carry the boy and left the girl standing despite they are twins.
Saff: I like you because you are real with yourself. You know that you are good for nothing, so instead of fishing for what you can’t get, you stay within your means. I like that, there’s nothing wrong with you, keep it up.
adedehinbo: The Nnamdi Kanu you all saw in Israel is Fake. According to RadioBiafra on 4thAugust 2018, the Zoo Military invaded his House, Killed his Dog, Bingo, Killed Nnamdi Kanu and deposited his Body in River Jordan where all manners of Fish and Earthworms ate him. The Guy you saw in Israel is not Nnamdi but an Impostor from Ghana whose name is Mr Chukwudi Uba

I've wanted to overlooked ur post but my curiosity to check ur profile makes me change my mind.
Op ur head is not well pressed, ur people no try for u ooo.
10mobile: I do not know why anything you hate keeps coming to you. Having an affair with a married woman has always sounded totally dirty to me until recently. A lady I once had as an intimate & who is now married with 3 kids - but who still looks terribly hot to me - has been all over me. But, the problem is not that she is all over me, but that I see myself falling again for her. IMAGINE! Today, we almost kissed each other in front of her husband. And her husband is a very dear friend who can trust me with any thing.
She's not the only married lady coming for me but she is the only one I seem also to be falling for. If you realize that I am neither rich nor handsome, you'd understand how incomprehensible this is to me. Has this happened to any of you guys & how did you handle it? Thanks for anticipated help.
Idiots should keep away because this is very serious.
U should have kiss her in front of her husband as that would have made the man to trust u the more.
ochejoseph: The Yoruba Origins of the Name Moses (not the Man Moses)
First published in my column, #TheAlternatie, in Sunday Thisday of October 4, 2018.
By Reno Omokri
First of all, there is no name like Moses, just like there is no name like Jesus. Both those names are made up names that the European translators of the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures transliterated and substituted for the actual names that were in Scripture which are Moshe (Moses) and Yehoshua or Yeshu’a (Jesus).
Why did people like the Dutch priest, Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus, and other bible scholars change the names of Bible characters? After all, if you are translating a document, you translate everything but the names. Could it be that these Europeans had a hidden agenda?
The Bible, as it was originally written is the undiluted word of God. However, it may shock my readers to learn that notable figures involved in translating the Bible into European languages, were members of fraternal orders. For example many of those involved in The King James Version of The Bible, first released in 1611, were Freemasons. This is a historical and documented fact which even the Church of England (still heavily influenced by Freemasonry) cannot deny.
Let me shock my readers even more. King James the first, whom the King James Version was named after, was obsessed with the occult and had himself personally authored books with occult and or magic themes.
In fact, King James the first’s most popular book is titled ‘Daemonologie’ and has chapters on necromancy (communication with the spirits of dead people), divination and Black Magic.
I urge my readers not to take my word for this. Google it. Research it for yourself.
In fact, King James’s book, Daemonologie, is considered a ‘bible’ in the occult world. This is the same man that assembled his friends and authorised scholars to produce the King James Version of the Bible.
There is power in names. For instance, Acts 4:11-12 reads:
“Jesus is "'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
Mark 16:17 says:
“And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;”
Proverbs 18:10 says:
“The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
These verses clearly show that the power is in the name. Therefore, if an enemy wants to attack, his attack would be centered on the name.
The name that has power is not Jesus. The name of God’s only Son is Yehoshua (Hebrew) or Yeshu’a (Aramaic).
But what about Moses, whose real name is Moshe. Why is he of central importance?
You see, in Exodus 2:10, we read:
“When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the water.”
Now, we know from that Scripture that Moses was not a Hebrew name. It was an Egyptian name and the actual name is Moshe, not Moses that the European translators turned it to. (If in doubt, please research the name Moses at a reference library, or simply go on Encyclopaedia Brittanica online).
Now, whenever you read the word Egyptian in The Bible, it is referring to the people in the geographical location called Egypt. It is not referring to their tribe or colour. For the last 4,000 years, the demographics of Egypt has gone through several changes.
However, at the time the Bible book of Exodus was written, the people who lived in and governed Egypt were Black people. This is an historical fact known to anthropologist. It is also the reason why the face of The Great Sphinx of Giza, in Egypt, is the face of a Black man. The Great Sphinx of Giza was built 2500 years before the physical birth of Christ. It is 4,500 years old. Are you trying to tell me that Arab people built such a massive monument and made it the face of a Black man? Think Black People, think!
So you may ask, why are most Egyptians today Arabs? The answer is in The Bible.
Ezekiel 29:19-20 reads:
“Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will carry off its wealth. He will loot and plunder the land as pay for his army. I have given him Egypt as a reward for his efforts because he and his army did it for me, declares the Sovereign LORD.”
God, in His wisdom, decided to punish the Black People of Egypt for their mistreatment of the Hebrews and so He put it in Nebuchadnezzar’s mind to conquer them.
Now, let me explain something about Nebuchadnezzar. I have been to Israel and I have been to ancient Babylon. When Nebuchadnezzar came to conquer Egypt, it was not like how modern day conquerors behaved. Not at all. The British and their European partners were pussy cats when compared to Nebuchadnezzar. Even Nazi Germany was not as brutal as Nebuchadnezzar!
Here was Nebuchadnezzar’s modus operandi. He would conquer you, slaughter your people, leave a ‘remnant’, take them back to Babylon, and then send his own people (Persians for the most part and some Arabs) and resettle them in your land.
That is what he did in Egypt and ancient Israel and the proof is in The Bible.
In 2 Kings 25:21-22 we read:
“There at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, the king had them executed. So Judah went into captivity, away from her land. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to be over the people he had left behind in Judah.”
So that is why today, you have mostly Arabs in Egypt. However, they still have a Black minority or ‘remnant’ as the Scripture prefers to put it. As a matter of fact, one of their recent Presidents was a Black man. His name was Anwar Sadat (Google His picture right now).
Sadat was greatly despised by many Arab Egyptians who called him ‘Nasser’s Black dog’. They referred to Gamal Abdel Nasser, who brought Sadat to limelight and made him his heir. Apparently, they only tolerated Sadat for so long until they assassinated him in 1981. He is the ONLY Egyptian President to be assassinated.
Why have I gone to great lengths to show that Black People ruled Egypt at the time of Moses, whose true name is actually Moshe?
In my earlier article, The Ijebu, the Yoruba and their influence on the Bible and Judaism, I proved, using Scriptural evidence, that modern day Ijebu people were the original inhabitants of the city known as Jebus, before they were defeated by King David, after which the city became known as Jerusalem (Jebu-Isale).
It was their cousins, the modern-day Yoruba (whose real name is Omo-ti-Olu-Iwa-bi or Omoluabi for short), who inhabited the geographical location known as Egypt during the time of Moses. Olu-Iwa is believed to be the Biblical Noah. This is significant, as my next chapters will reveal.
It is an anthropological fact that the father of the Black Race is Ham, the son of Noah. In fact, the name of Ham’s first son is Cush, which means Black in ancient Hebrew. Google it.
Genesis 10:6 reads “The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan.”
Ham in Hebrew means burnt, referring to the colour of Ham’s skin. Cush in Hebrew means Black. The third son was called Egypt.
As a matter of fact, when The Bible referred to those who enslaved the Hebrews in Egypt for 430 years, it called them sons of Ham.
Psalm 78:51 reads:
“He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt, the first fruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.”
These Scriptures prove that the ancient Egyptians where the sons of Ham.
Now, let us come back to that name, Moses, which in actual fact is Moshe. We know from Exodus 2:10 that it was an Egyptian name. We also know that it means picked or fetched.
Exodus 2:10 reads:
“And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew (picked) him out of the water.”
In the Yoruba language, the word for drawing or picking something from the ground or from the river or from anywhere is ‘sha’. So, if you picked up something from the ground or water, and I asked you how you came by that thing, in Yoruba, your response would be ‘mo sha’ meaning I picked it. The proper phonetics of Mo Sha would be mo sàá, but it would be pronounced mo-sha.,
It is that Mo Sha, that the Egyptian princess gave the child that she picked up. It is that Mo Sha, that became known in Hebrew as Moshe. It is that Moshe that was erroneously (or deliberately?) transliterated to Moses.
These revelations are shocking. I know. But read Scripture and research about the ancient origins of the Yoruba people. I have a reputation, which I jealously guard, for never saying or writing anything about faith without backing it up with evidence from The Bible.
The ancestor of the Yoruba, Oduduwa, is believed, from folklore, to have been a migrant from Egypt, not Arabia, as many erroneously think. The confusion may have come from the fact that Egypt was considered part of Arabia.
And it is not just the name Moshe (Mo Sha) that is traceable to the Yoruba language and culture. Much of what Moses taught the Hebrews/Jews is actually of Yoruba culture, especially the practice of divination which itself is traceable to the culture of ancient Egypt, from where today’s periodic table of modern chemistry come from. The culture of the next in line brother inherit his late older brother’s widow if she did not have children for him. The culture of sacrificing animals for sins. All these are ancient Yoruba customs that the Europeans met when they came to Africa.
In fact, the similarity is even starker when you consider that in Arabic, the name Moshe is actually Mūsā which is closer to Mo Sha. Do not take my word for it, Google it.
But then you may ask, how did Mo Sha become Moshe? If you are a native speaker of the Yoruba language, you will know that it is a very poetic language. The poetry of Yoruba is on beautiful display in D. O. Fagunwa’s 1938 book, Ògbójú Ọdẹ nínú Igbó Irúnmalẹ̀ (Forest of a Thousand Demons).
The Yoruba have a habit of giving names for people or an occupation quite literally. In fact, you name yourself by the circumstances of your birth or your profession.
In Yoruba for instance, the actual phrase for a prostitute is a sha owo, meaning one who picks up money. The ‘sha’ in a sha owo is the same ‘sha’ in Mo Sha.
Along the years though, a sha owo became poeticized or shortened to ashewo, which is what most people call a prostitute in Nigeria, the nation with the highest concentration of Yoruba people in the world.
You see, with the passage of time, the sha in a-sha-owo became she, as in ashewo. It is the same way that Mo Sha became known as Moshe before the Moshe itself was bastardised by the Europeans into Moses (a meaningless name).
Even the name of the River Nile, from which Moses was picked from is believed to be of Yoruba origin. It is NOT of Arabian, Persian or Hebrew origin.
The name of the River Nile is thought to have originated with Pharaoh’s daughter who picked Moses from the bank of the River.
The word Nile is thought to originate from Moses’s full name, mo sàá nílẹ̀ or to put it in letters that would be easy for you to read, Mo Sha n’ile meshing ‘I picked him up from the bank/ground’. It was the nílẹ̀ that became Nile and remained so till today.
In conclusion, let me state clearly that Moses was NOT Yoruba. He was NOT Black. I am not claiming that the Yoruba’s are Jews (their origins go farther than that of the Hebrews). What I am saying is that the name Moses, which is actually Moshe, is of Yoruba origin.
Throughout the first 80 years of his life, Moses was more used to Black People than to Hebrews. As a matter of fact, his wife was Black as we see in Numbers 12:1 which reads:
“And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.”
The use of the word ‘Ethiopian’ does not mean the woman was from modern day Ethiopia. The nation now known as Ethiopia is referred to by the name Sheba in The Old Testament of The Bible and are called Sabeans in the oldest book of The Bible (Job).
The word ‘Ethiopian’ used in Numbers 12:1 comes from the old word for a Black person (Ethiope). Prior to the 17th century, Black People used to be called Ethiopes (Shakespeare even used that term to describe Black People in Act 1, scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet ''Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear”).
It is not my intention to shock you with these truths. I only mean to open more eyes to the hidden history of the Black Race which is right there in The Bible.
You see, one of the saddest discoveries of my life is that most churchgoers are actually consumers of religious products who blindly consume what the religious establishment they are affiliated to dish out to them without putting it to the integrity test of the Holy Scripture.
To such people I recommend Acts 17:11 “Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.”

The Lagos state police command have arrested two self-confessed members of a notorious cult group, Olakunle Ogunyemi, popularly known as Pedro, and Anthony Bello, popularly called T-boy, for the murder of an Austrian returnee, in Iba Housing Estate, Lagos State.
The deceased, Micheal Chinenu, who visited Nigeria to have his traditional marriage, was allegedly stabbed to death during a fight with the suspects at a football pitch in Iba in 2016.
According to reports, the deceased had gone to the football pitch to play football with a group of boys in his neighborhood. During the match, an argument ensued between the deceased and Ogunyemi which degenerated into a fight.
When it became clear that the deceased was overpowering the latter, Bello allegedly used a knife to stab the Austrian returnee in the chest, in his bid to assist his colleague. The duo immediately fled the scene, abandoning their opponent to his fate. Chinenu died a week later from complications that arose from severe loss of blood.
After two years of investigation, the suspects were recently arrested by operatives of the Federal Anti Robbery Squad (FSARS), Lagos State Police Command, in their hideout. Bello, a.k.a. T-boy, admitted to have stabbed the deceased in self- defense.
While confessing to the crime, he said
“I went to play ball at the football pitch when I heard an uproar. On reaching the scene, I saw a man engaged in a scuffle with Pedro (Ogunyemi ). In my attempt to intervene, the man slapped me. He left Pedro and faced me. He hit me on the ground twice and used a tyre rim to hit me. In defense, I rushed to an orange seller where I collected a knife and stabbed him in the shoulder. I managed to escape from the scene and went into hiding when I heard he was dead. In my hideout, I turned new leaf and got married. I thought the case must have died down since it’s been long it happened. I was at home with my wife and child when the police came with Pedro to arrest me.”
Ogunyemi, who is the only son of his widowed mother and an OND holder from the Lagos State Polytechnic, disclosed that he joined cultism at the age of 17.
“He (the deceased) came and said I should ‘free’ Lexi, so that they could leave the field. I pretended not to have heard him and continued the discussion with Lexi. He repeated it again and I asked who he was and where he was from. This degenerated into quarrel before Bello came. I did not know how the deceased died but all I could remember was seeing him on the ground because other boys on the field took me to a corner to pacify me and prevented me from going to where the fight was going on. I later left Lagos for Ghana to hide, for fear of being arrested over the death of the man. I stayed there for sometime before I returned to Nigeria, only to be arrested.” he said
The Police say the suspects would be charged to court later today for armed robbery, cultism and murder.
Loveisascam: My experience dating a 28 years old stupid boy - Age and place of employment does not necessarily mean maturity.
I and my bf have been friends online before we finally decided to meet. After meeting, we mutually decided to start dating.
Unknown to me my bf had shared me with two of his friends to tempt me. Friend 1 chatted me up but I didn't give him any attention so he stopped all conversations with me. Friend two chatted me up too but somehow he was able to get my attention. I however clearly told him I had a boyfriend and was not interested in any romantic relationship with him. He told me he didn't have any issues with it but that we could still be friends.
I am a very sincere and open person and so I told my bf about my friendship with Friend two. I usually share screenshots of my conversations with Friend two with my bf. I did not hide any thing from him because I had no intentions to cheat. I was very transparent.
Little did I know that my bf on the other hand was also busy sharing everything that has transpired between us including very sensitive information like our sexual styles, the state of my vagina and even my financial status with his friend.
My bf told friend two to stop the game and leave me alone. Friend two refused. According to him, he realised I was not the slut my boyfriend painted me to be and thought I will be a great catch for a girlfriend.
To discourage him, my bf started slandering me to him.He even went to the extent of telling his friend that the last time I visited, he didn't enjoy the sex because my vagina was wide and that I had probably slept with some people before meeting him.
I had told friend two that the next time I visit my bf, I will endeavour to make arrangement so we can see too since him and bf stay in the same location. However on visiting my bf, I changed my mind and rather told him to visit my base if he really wants us to meet. He agreed to come around. I told my bf about my plan to meet friend two but didn't tell him that friend two had agreed to come to my base.
Friend two told my bf of his plan to come and visit me in my base and that finally he is going to have his way with me. My bf tried to discourage him from coming but he refused.
My bf was then forced to confess what he had done but told me not to let his friend know he has told me.
I kept chatting and receiving calls from friend two without revealing to him that I knew what he was up to.
After 3 days, I decided to let friend two know that my bf told me about their game. He was shocked and started opening up all my bf told him about me.
He told me my bf never really loved me and that he was with me because he didn't have to spend. I didn't ask him for money and even when I come to visit, I don't ask for tp.
Friend two also told me that my bf said I will be useful in his plans to relocate to Canada as he will convince me he wants us to marry, and that I should support him relocate first and then later when he is stable he will come back to Nigeria so we can wed and then he can bring me over. Meanwhile his actual plan is to relocate to Canada and marry a white girl for citizenship. I would never have suspected this could be my bf plans because he works in an averagely good place where he earns averagely well.
Friend two then advised me never to reveal my financial status to any man and to be selfish when I love. He said he still genuinely wants to date me and that he is sorry.
I am not stupid though. Friend 2 and my bf are idiots. I cannot date any one of them. I have blocked both of them.
This experience has shattered me though. I will never ever trust any man again even the man I marry. I used to believe in the idea of shared finances in marriage but not anymore. No managing with any man.
Men are scum. Love is a scam. The so called bf is a nairalander and I know he makes sensible comments here to deceive innocent girls who don't actually know he is a fool and a scammer.
Sorry about ur experience, I'm not a fan of long txt like this, but I took time to read urs. I almost got emotion about the whole thing. The thought in my mind now is how u will be asking ur self, how did I got my self into this mess. This is what u got when u believe and trust so much in a relationship. And it always affect the good people, which u are one of them.
I just want to change one of ur comment (men are scum) to some men are scum, and don't because of these close ur heart for a better person. Just forgot the whole experience and forge ahead. Better future await u dear. U are a winner, he's a loser. I'm not seen u as a cheap girl, but one with heart of GOLD. My GOD will bless u with a better person and u will share the testimony with here too AMEN.
