PoliticsRe: Nigeria vs Niger Republic • Exposing the ignorance of Nigerians by LocalStandard1(op): 8:54am On May 12, 2024
If now isn't the time for the average Nigerian to actually reflect and realize they're living a far more dystonian life in their very corrupt big village, grasping with the reality Nigeria has the lowest life expectancy in the entire world, then you will never progress.

The citizens of Borkina Faso are embarking on a massive demonstration in support of their "MILITARY RULER" seeking and calling he stays longer in office, even as he has vehemently rejected monetary aid from the evil IMF.

In sharp contrast you live in misery and discontent of your very "democratic civilian leaders", while the only solution to any problem is "BORROW MORE MORE", further re-enslaving yourselves just so you show your White masters you're very good and loyal slaves.
But in all these you really believe you are better than the country experiencing the most economic growth in the world by far. You most be a self-absorbed clown.

When are you relocating permanently to Niger Republic?
I am doing very well in my home country, especially for someone in his mid twenties, that I will not accept a free trip to the USA. I am not people like you living in misery and tribal delusion while still seeking any opportunity to run.
But I should not have to move to Niger Republic to have common sense and know that you are likely to live a far shorter life span and poorer standard of living on average while more likely to get kidnapped than them.

How far is Kaduna State from the border with Niger Republic?
I didn't want to respond to you as your comment has shown how completely at the top of the ignorance shelf you are. But I should make you a case study for people like you that I talked about.

Kaduna State does not share any border with Niger Republic, they're far and way apart.
And that is why I recommended multiple times in the post and my top comment that you "get yourselves educated", and while at it shut your mouths about topics you absolutely know zero about. You make the very few dozens of intelligent Nigerians left look very bad.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria vs Niger Republic • Exposing the ignorance of Nigerians by LocalStandard1(op): 7:38pm On May 11, 2024
You are living such a "good" life in Nigeria so much so your average life span is the lowest in the world at 52. And Niger Republic are suffering so much theirs is at 61, almost ten years more than you. Tell me I am lying you loud mouth online soldier.

Only when you clearly get really educated and enlightened and drop the self-enforced delusion will you begin to see any iota of positive growth. It does their military rule is better than your "democracy".
PoliticsRe: Nigeria vs Niger Republic • Exposing the ignorance of Nigerians by LocalStandard1(op):
The reality is that Niger will still export their oil through other routes, even as Nigeria continues to wallow and diminish in self delusion and boastful nothingness.

Cheap shameless talkatives, look at how dystopian you live in your own country, yet a country that's just getting started since colonialism is definitely your eyesore. Face your begger lives with the country already in anarchy.

But come at me with facts, dear ignoramus, I am from Kaduna State not your Igbo enemy.
PoliticsNigeria vs Niger Republic • Exposing the ignorance of Nigerians by LocalStandard1(op):
So something comedic is happening. The reality is that Nigeria today is at so much worse a position that even among failed States Nigeria is at the very top.

So poor is the average Nigerian that it has more people in poverty both by total number and on average than any country in the world. Nigeria also has one of the very lowest life expectancy in the world at only 53 years, lower than any even those experiencing wars.

Nigeria's economic growth rates is also one of the worst performing today in the world. So bad that Nigeria automatically slide to forth biggest economy in Africa for a country with one of the biggest populations in the world. Soon the Nigerian economy will even slide back to about the sixth or seventh.


But here's the main reason for this post....

This other country has moved from a non performaning and begger country to the fastest growing economy in the whole wide world last year and even more this year consecutively, at 12%growth rates (four times more than Nigeria). This country has a life expectancy of 61 years, they live almost a decade more than Nigerians. Since last year this country has actually Started a revamp of the their nation by building actual oil refineries, processing plants and installing air defenses Nigeria has never seen in its country's history.

This country successfully kicked out the French and the American military from their country even as "aid" from these countries has been cut off. Still, this country with the youngest population in the world, fastest population growth and the fastest economy is actually making national gains for the first time in its entire history of being national slaves to some pale people in the West speaking French.

Now, this country is Niger Republic. Both Niger Republic together with Borkina Faso and Mali today are among the fastest growing countries in the world. But of course that is the case as this is the first time they can actually say "we are independent from French colonialism". As The West under France has literally put these countries under the boots and milking them throughout their history as countries. Now these countries are essentially making gains against terrorists and Mali just killed one of the most wanted Islamists with a five million dollars bounty declared by the USA. They're making more gains against the Islamic terrorists while you romance and pay them in Nigeria, with so high a kidnapping rates it has become a full on business.

The world is leaving you far behind, as you gloat and sit behind your small phones to practice bigotry, regular caveman tribalism and small minded, ignorant jingoism Nigeria has nothing to show as a country. Outside of a large population (which do not know how to take advantage of) Nigeria has nothing to boast about. So you should educate yourselves and learn from others as you shut your mouths and watch smaller countries slide way ahead of you.

Just imagine the ignorance by people in this post about Niger even as they turned the post into uncouth tribal obscenity...

There is a silent technological war going on. It is the chip war. It is mainly between Taiwan, USA and China. China and USA are trying to displace Taiwan to achieve independence in chip manufacturing process and gain sophistry. China and USA are practically subsidising their chip makers with average of $100 billion.
That's as good as a subsidy. Some years back ir was USA subsidising car makers because they know what that translates to for the biggest car market in the world.
In Nigeria, people who have submitted their brain to Oyibo pipu will be pushing for removal of subsidy and think it makes them sound sophisticated. Nonsense.

PoliticsWhy Nigerian Economy Will Never Thrive Without Subsidies by LocalStandard1(op):
Firstly, Nigeria and by extension Africa is gradually being pushed to an extreme form of capitalism, a very very harsh system and environment even those pushing us have never ventured. We're like in a perpetual predictable experiment by these Western international organizations, corporations and Nations. Very predictable!

There's not a single country today that does not pay not one but different forms of subsidies on products for its citizens. China pays trillions in agricultural, energy, electricity, industrial subsidies, which is the most of any country. The USA is second with almost a trillion dollars, the USA even subsidizes it's richest, like Elon Musk and co so their industries can compete.

Russia, Saudi Arabia, USA, China, Japan, France, India, Egypt, South Africa. I promise you mention any Western nation and major or even smaller less competitive economies and I will prove they pay subsidies.

Nigeria with a population of well over 200 million, teeming young people and fast growing in numbers is a very attractive and high potential, something most of these Western countries literally pray and beg for. As a growing and developing economy Nigeria should cry and wail that the economy grows at a mere 3.1% rate. With this, in just a few years even Ethiopia (growing more than twice Nigeria's rate) and Morocco will leap frog ahead of Nigeria making Nigeria the sixth or seventh in Africa by GDP in Africa.

THE COUNTRY NIGERIA WILL NEVER SEE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO ITS POTENTIAL AND CAN NOT PROGRESS WITHOUT SUBSIDIES. SUBSIDIES ON FUEL, ELECTRICITY, AGRICULTURE, ITS GROWING SMEs AND THE LITTLE INDUSTRY IT ALREADY HAS. YOU CAN NOT MAINTAIN THE SO-CALLED INVESTORS YOU ALREADY HAVE, DO NOT GO RUNNING LOOKING FOR NEW ONES.

Even if the government decides to sell or give away kuli kuli to the general public there will always be corruption.

The West subsidizes even their billionaires and their companies but they complain subsidies in Africa benefit the rich. Yes of course, why not?!!!

When you don't pay subsidies, which is as old as can be recorded in ancient times, you slow and even cripple your economic activities, we see it. And you still do not solve any problem you claim to want to solve (there's still fuel scarcity).

Western countries industrialized very largely thanks to subsidies. Christopher Columbus would never have gotten to the Americas without government support. Africa most begin to see subsidies differently, subsidies are far more effective than any form or system of "palliatives" and hand outs from any and especially a corrupt country like Nigeria. Subsidies go round and go wide and further.

I will sit and argue this with Okonjo Iweala, Tinubu and all his appointees, Peter Obi ( whose picture I have as profile photo). PROPAGANDA IS A VERY EFFECTIVE WEAPON Of WAR, AFRICA LOOSE AND EVEN TODAY ARE AT THE HIGHEST RECEIVING END OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND OLDEST FORMS OF BRAINWASHING. WE'RE LIKE ZOMBIES!

China today would have never thrived without the government Subsidies it still enjoys. The USA as a country and its economy specifically will crumble tomorrow if it removes all forms of government supports and especially subsidies from the poor way up to the most wealthiest.

I made a comment on another post and decided to make it a new thread. The topic I'm working on it's original is quite big, long and more in-depth, but this is a summary I left as a comment.

How did Africans and Black peoploe survive the worst dehumanization humanity has ever seen, from the Trans Saharan slave trade, trans Atlantic slave trade, colonialism from the Arabs and the West, once even considered to not be humans. These dehumanizations reduced African from about 800 million at a time to less than 200 million. Dehumanization native Americans and many races couldn't survive.

Today you can not go to any continent and not find a very substantial Black people of African origin, millions in the Americas, Carribean, the middle East, Asia, Europe, You name it.

How did the oldest race on earth, Africans, survive all these and more and now are more than a billion and a half today, and soon the majority in the nearest future? LET ME TELL YOU....

The African society is set by our ancients in a way that it is capable of surviving the most brutality and catastrophe that most others and even animal species could not. From the communal system to the polygamous family system, reference for elders and historical simplicity and hospitality and acceptance of total strangers.

HOMOSEXUALITY is a condition that serves no purpose to the collective good of a society aside certifying an unquenchable desire, unnatural in it thirst and unprofitable, unproductive, non-contributing in its entirety. And so I dare say polygamy is the direct opposite of HOMOSEXUALITY, polygamy recreates, it allows and gives home to women and children less privileged and makes the community and family even bigger and stronger. Polygamy is not a system built for the sake of certifying sexual fetish, unlike HOMOSEXUALITY, it is one of the bedrock as to why and how the African society and peoples endured and are massively GROWING and doing as nature and God designed, PRODUCING and MULTIPLYING.

Homosexuality is anti-women, it is anti-children, homosexuality is anti-humanity and anti-community and family. That is why you find people who gravitate towards that act are usually ANNIHILISTS (check meaning), and highly suicidal. They could never procreate, but they want to teach children you procreate, they depend on you for their on survival and not adding anything. The irony of a parasite.

A people's cultures, traditions and ways and structure they set their society is what largely holds them together, and it is considered their very own identity. But when you loose your identity, when you completely throw away who you are for something of someone else, you do not become them, you become a poor perpetual puppet and copycat, and the worst version. And things fall apart.

There's a lot to say, the comments section and even Nairaland as a whole can not contain the entirety of this topic's discussion, but know this, HOMOSEXUALITY has no place among sane people, no wonder they have the highest suicide rates. It is a very recently accepted culture even in the so-called West.

May we learn from them but only cherry pick what works and not what sounds good and pleasures the now.

https://www.nairaland.com/8067308/imf-why-asked-nigeria-remove

IMF, WORLD BANK, WTO are Capitaslists' systems of sustained Western imperialism!

I have well over a hundred different topics centering around international politics especially as it concerns Africa. Nairaland does not pay for these kinds of topics, I am starting a YouTube channel soon.

let me make you a promise, there's not a single western "billionaire" in history that attained where they are without any substantial government support. Elon Musk is a direct product and beneficiary of the South African Apartheid system, along with all the White South African billionaires you see today. Elon Musk is a good example of effort meets lots of 'White privilege' and government support in the USA. He and all the rest.

Nobody pays subsidies more than the USA and Western countries geberally, where the head quarters of these organizations are located. The US even pays subsidies on rice, corn, things you never thought possible. Why not poor African populations too?!

Africa can never "be like the West", those are nations built directly and to a great extent on the backs of millions of slave labor, then trillions worth of wealth stolen and gotten through colonialism. It is insanity to even assume you can compare with that.

China is the nation I like to refer to as "the miracle". China, through its own effort and that of its people, lifted about eight hundred million people from poverty. That is more than the population all European countries put together. China today is more advanced and ahead of about all Western countries in most areas and rose from the same level Africa is today forty years ago. Beat that!

If Africa or any single African country must progress we most learn from China, and not the West, definitely not listen to Western tools called the "IMF, World Bank, WTO" and co.

Subsidy on petroleum products in an oil rich and developing nation teeming with a growing population and economy like Nigeria should not even be a question of "if" but "add more". The country grows as businesses and people move, do trade and pay tax and are lifted from poverty.

These Western countries populations are aging and dwindling, they need the trooping skilled laborers from Africa, but this is only one of the reasons they want Africa to remain poor and perpetually in need of "aid" and high interest rate loans from them.

One of the biggest and well organized, widely circulated propaganda on Nigerians and maybe even Africans is the myth that Subsidy is bad. They continue to tell you its bad but non is bold or intelligent enough to ask them why they're the biggest practitioners of it.

PoliticsRe: What I Learned After Months Of Being Off Nairaland by LocalStandard1(op): 4:49am On Apr 11, 2024
GreatVocalist:
A little digression here.

I think people should learn to use words properly, before using them, to avoid embarrassment.

One of those words is "literally". It seems if people don't use that word in a sentence, then that sentence isn't complete. If you're going to overuse it, at least use it properly.

For example, the writer here says "literally months". The word "literally" means, "expressed in its exact form, not metaphorical or figurative in any sense".

If you say that you were offline for literally months, then you imply that the word "months" in that context is figurative, which of course isn't what you were trying to communicate. Therefore, the word "literally" was absolutely unnecessary in that sentence.

The word "literally" is used in cases that seem figurative, but can actually be expressed in a real sense. For example, you can say "he literally kicked the bucket".

Using the word in this context would help the reader understand that you're not trying to say that the person died (which is the actual meaning of the sentence), but that he really kicked the bucket. The word "literally" is performing its function here. See?

English dey sweet, but make we learn to use words properly. Sorry for stating this here, and it's probably unnecessary, but I've seen this too often. I think it's okay to correct people on these things, to avoid embarrassment.
For someone who neither his father nor mother is British and you only see one "complex" mistaken use of word in a long post, I am happy so far. But you're right, I use the word too much even I try to limit it. Thank you.
PoliticsWhat I Learned After Months Of Being Off Nairaland by LocalStandard1(op): 10:13pm On Apr 10, 2024
I decided to post this as I noticed a total mental, emotional and general transformation about myself after being off Nairaland for literally months. first long time off since I discovered the forum more than a decade ago. Maybe you too can learn something.

- NIGERIA--- Firstly not reading real time news about Nigeria and knowing what goes on in the country and what happens or doesn't has made me realize it is Nigerians and there "leaders" that are the biggest problems with a very negative view point about everything and each other. The opportunities everywhere are very immense and with a population of well over 200 million there are no limits and only very few can match the market . Being too engulfed with Nairaland has a way of brainwashing you to believe you're better off leaving Nigeria and life is better anywhere else but here.

-TRIBAL AFFILIATED SENTIMENTS--- I just bought a business from an Igbo person, he trusted I would do better and trusted me from Kaduna State even more than two other interested candidates who're of his tribe, maybe even same State of origin. Consciously or unconsciously every Nairaland members is almost far gone on tribal bigotry, every. And I have learned the most ignorant but very dangerous people are tribal bigots and jingoists. Nairaland recruits them and sustains them, they're so far gone they would never know how much.

- SELF HATE --- The most racism on Black People you can find is among Nairaland members, nobody hates Black people in general and Africans in particular like Nairalanders and Nigerians. What makes it overwhelming is they themselves are both Black people and Africans. The self-hate and self-demeaning nature is so shocking I begin to wonder "should I fight the Whites and Asians against racism and educate them about African and Black people's history or fight and educate fellow Nigerians first?"

Coupled with the fact the White-worship on Nairaland is something I've never seen anywhere else other than among other Nigerians in person. Everyone want some kind of White-approval online I begin to wonder "are they writing this comment or post for some foreigners here? "

- "GENDER WARS"--- One of the most pitiable state you can be in is being a gender warrior and I thought only young guys here are gender warriors till I realize even married women here too seem to engage in it and by extension looking like they disdain their so-called "husbands", and I pray the singles just remain that way so as not to burden someone else with such unfounded venom. I pity and I fear!
Nairaland promotes, encourages, sustains and feeds on the hate of the other gender you're not one of. It seems like only for laughs but it is actually pitiable, sorry state of mind.

-THE STATS SHOWS HOPE --- I am satisfied when I looked at the Nairaland stats and saw that a majority of the members no longer come online, with less than 1,700 online at any given time of day, it shows majority are tired and want no part in what seems to be comfortably pushed.

I think Nairalanders most realize you can never win the internet, and it is not healthy for any aspect of your life this intense internet negativity you project but it takes from you more than you know and far more than you will ever admit.

Trust me, I very much know. Better luck!

CrimeRe: Police In Japan Have No Work To Do These Days!!! by LocalStandard1(m): 6:48pm On Apr 10, 2024

It seems this is the real example of a sane society
This is an example of a fast aging and dwindling society. A dying civilization and they themselves know it.
CrimeRe: Police In Japan Have No Work To Do These Days!!! by LocalStandard1(m):
AjalaJ:
Yes you read that right.
The Japanese police have been doing literally nothing these days.
The reason behind this is the ever decreasing crime rate in Japan.
Let me tell you some facts here:
The crime rate in Japan has decreased to negligible amount in last 13 years.
On an average, there is less than 1% chance of crime for every 100,000 people in Japan.
There was only one incident of murder last year in Japan. Yes just one!
The most important element of police power, though, is not authority to search, but authority in the community. Like school teachers, Japanese policemen rate high in public esteem, especially in the countryside.
The police in Japan are trained in calligraphy and Haiku composition.
Police in Japan do carry a gun but they rarely use it. Instead they use their black belts in judo or police sticks. In an average year, the entire Tokyo police force only fires six shots.
15,000 koban "police boxes" are located throughout the cities.
Police koban box officers spend time teaching neighborhood youth judo or calligraphy.
The officers even hand- write their own newspapers, with information about crime and accidents, "stories about good deeds by children, and opinions of
residents."
Tokyo is the safest city in the entire world.

I don't like commenting on Nairaland but sometimes I feel really dissapointed in the amount of uninformed and poorly educated and rational minded people on here.
"Lack of religion" or them being "white" is far from the answer you're looking for.

Have you also asked why Japan, like many of these "peaceful" countries have the highest suic*de rates and depression and anxiety rates more than anywhere else by a wide margin?

Do you know what Japanese old people specifically go through and making their age range have even higher suicide rates on average?

It is a known fact that younger people and groups are more likely to be involved in crime. Nigeria, like all African countries, have the youngest population in the world together with African countries also being more recent. of course you'd find more vices in these places!

Japan, like about all so-called "developed countries", but Japan especially have the oldest populations in the world. The country is literally slowly dying out and fast aging to oblivion. Most of these countries leaders are begging their citizens to have more children, they're ready to pay money to be where Africa is in terms of population and demographics, something both we and the heads calling themselves "leaders" can not see and don't know how to take advantage of.

Not all that glitters is gold, appreciate your position and then you can see that it's an advantage. these countries have the most brutal history so they're not ignorant or immune to criminal tendencies, they have set the standards to raw crime. Something very unfathomable is currently happening to them.

All of their leaders have come out publicly to beg they have more children, they have special packages and incentives for pregnant women and even men with pregnant wives. Italy, France, the UK, Japan, China, South Korea, Iran, the US and Canada are solving it with mass immigration in, Russia, even North Korean leader cried on live television begging for more children. You name them, all of them.

by 2050 Africa will have about 40% of the Young people in the whole world, it's Africa's time only if we realize it. Reason why they're forcing down lgbt down our oesophagus, they don't want it like this.
PoliticsThe Real Reason Nigerians Leave Nigeria|it's Not What You Think by LocalStandard1(op): 8:16pm On Jan 31, 2024
We saw Nigerians tearing and damaging their passports after the presidential elections some months ago in anger. And there's something similar about many Nigerians leaving the country and those still researching where to immigrate to. They're obviously not broke or generally unemployed or underemployed, at least according to Nigerian standard. Many have more savings than a majority of Americans, trust me I have done the research.

But Nigeria will never ever be developed and will always fluctuate in a static as long as the skilled professionals and so-called middle class keep running away from the country. And according to American statistics Nigerian immigrants are among the most successful and also educated.

These people do not also leave or want to leave the country because they're particularly doing very bad. MANY NIGERIANS RELOCATE OUT OF THE COUNTRY AS A FORM OF PROTEST

Instead of staying back and forcing change, and being the change themselves, joining and supporting unions and having a principle and moral fortitude to enact incorruptiblity they instead flee the country and hope the rest still left behind do the changing.

FLEEING THE COUNTRY AS A FORM OF PROTEST is not honorable or wise, it is not a "power move". It is a result of a decaying society, weak and cowardice action which still manifests itself in the countries they relocate to, which is showcased by the weak Nigerian passport and the many restrictions, embargoes and harassments on Nigerian travellers and Nationals.

There are no coincidences that a country is led by the people who represent them, no shallow and corrupt country will magically have upright and selfless visionary leaders. Leaders are only a reflection of the general population and they show their true selves even abroad.

PoliticsWhy Westernized Nigerians Are selling us GMOs and more by LocalStandard1(op):
The Tinubu government have just approved the GMO corn into Nigeria and of course one should not be very surprised, this is only a first phase in the selling off of Nigeria to Western imperialist CAPITALISTS! It is no surprise for the same reason Tinubu was ready to plunge West Africa in a war that as we have seen now is very avoidable and even beneficial to the region and Africa at large. Tinubu and his people are only a glimpse of the WESTERNIZED AFRICAN.

But the reality of the situation is we've been in contact with the West for literally centuries, China only started trading proper with Africa about two decades plus and have superseded the USA and the EU combined by almost five folds. China's at almost 300 billion dollars, in only over two decades people. Africa is not a potential mutual trading ground for the West, except lopsided deals and exploitations.

The West is a CAPITALIST society and they will always see Africa as their sphere of influence and control, it was Africa's free labor that Kickstarted their industrialization in form of slavery, it is Africa's resources that sustains their industries and nation in form or colonialism and now NEOCOLONIALISM. There's an active cry and panic in the West against the population increase in Africa as against the fast decline in literally all Western countries. A small African population means easy control of the people and by extention the continent and its resources. I digress!!!

Russia, China, India, Australia, these are only a number of countries but significant ones that have banned GMO foods for consumption in their countries, except cotton which is non consumable. These are countries that have literally been funding decades of research on the GMO but have still largely or totally rebuked its importation in their countries.

| There was a time the West used the argument that h*mos*xuality is "only between consenting adults". Today these groups are holding completely naked "parades" on the streets, teaching it to children, and putting children, not yet able to recite the ABC, on the surgery table for a "gender change". Today they're known as "lgbtq+++++". And outrightly forcing other countries to accept it, even the Catholic Church and its Pope.|

The West always has an agenda, and when they willingly export it to Africa we most question it and continue in scepticism. We have many prosperous countries to learn from like China and even Russia, with systems that work. WESTERNIZED AFRICANS AND NIGERIANS ARE FREELY DELIVERING US TO THE WEST, JUST LIKE DURING THE AGES SLAVERY!

But yes, GMO is very bad and capitalism is all about making profit no matter who it hurts, especially if it concerns Africa. They want total control of our food and even pushing for the privatization of common water in many African countries as we speak. Come On!

May God have mercy on you.
Because of you,the heathens have found a way to cast aspersion on the most high God. May God have mercy on you.
So who are the "heathens"? And who is the God you're talking about? Differently not the God who's the creator, because you follow men and identity and you do it lacking of conscience and discernment.
PoliticsWhat The Conflict Between Israel And Palestinians Has Taught Me About Nigerians by LocalStandard1(op): 10:30am On Nov 23, 2023
I always try to start posts by telling a little about my own experiences. But for months now I don't frequent Nairaland and I will say, there is no bigger medicine to the mind and soul of a person than staying off Nairaland. And staying away from news about Nigeria in general does wonders to a person's personal life, general progress and mental state.

My main issues here and why I decide to put this here is to make us reason and question our own humanity and beliefs.

So since the Israeli vs Palestinian conflicts started many Nigerians, specifically Christians have been siding with the Israelis, even some Pastors like Enoch Adeboye (unsurprising considering his poor judgment) has already jumped on the band wagon of supporting the Israel state immediately. But let us change perspective a little and consider another opinions.

I am from Kaduna State, you might be an Igbo, or a Nigerian Christian who's been ravaged and dealt with by either the Fulani terrorists or the Nigerian army. Let's look at the actions of the Nigerian army in the South East where they usually respond immediately after the killing of a soldier or two and kill people and burn down villages. My dear Christians or Igbo fellows, what do you say about that? Is that justified? Oh well!!

Growing up as a Christian in Southern Kaduna every time there are conflicts in the Middle East and specifically with the Israel State we always see and hear outcries from the Muslims. They'd write things like "free Palestine", "down with Israel". Kaduna State Christians would be on the opposite side praying and cheering for the Israelis.

But as a practical Christian I always wonder even as a child, the Bible says the death and resurrection of Jesus has made us all his own and God's children when we believe and are Baptised. Then how are these people in Israel the only and true people of God? What about us who worship him in spirit and in truth and who claim to know him?

At the start of the conflict some months ago I was on the side of the Israelis till I look into the plight of the Palestinians and I heard the narratives of the South Africans, who where in the same position as the Palestinians some few decades ago. Victimized and put in reservation camps and heavily policed, beaten and killed like nothing, their freedom fighters like the Hamas, considered terrorists. The White Apatheid regime was heavily supported by the same people supporting the Israelis today, the West, Europe and the USA and even the Israelis supported the Apatheid regime. Ironically the same people on the Palestinian side like the Russians, the Iranians, the Chinese etc, supported the Black South Africans.

Currently more than ten thousand Palestinian children, women, disabled, elderly and men have already been killed, and counting. TEN THOUSAND IN ONLY LESS THAN TWO MONTHS! The Arabs have a big fault, in fact they're not innocent. But the majority being dealt with are the average Palestinians.

These same Jewish people benefited the most in the enslavement of Black people, and these same people are sterilizing Black women, specifically the Ethiopian Jews so that they won't give birth to Black children and affect their demographic. These people are not the people of the God me I serve. These Jewish people today are not the people of God in the Bible. These brazen and bold unashamed blatant retaliatory acts is not one for those who fear God.

angryThere are different and more peaceful ways of solving these issues, but the People claiming Jewish today do not want peace till they wipe out and remove all other non Jewish from their homes. These same brutish, and inhumane people are preying on the emotions and beliefs of Christians world wide to continue in the acts of shedding blood irrespective of age, gender or civilians involved. They've blocked the hearts and minds of people into supporting their wickedness.

As a Christian, I know the words of God through Jesus Christ, and this is not it. I refuse to believe we serve the same God that'll clap for acts done by people like these!!!

With this news is it time for Seun and Co. to apologize to me? I have been trying to make posts and comments like this on Nairaland since last year but every time I try they seem to have set a bot to delete all of it without a single person even reading.
People world have been "slumping and dying" that should call for concern and questioning.

Now that it's coming out they are allowing it. Nairaland should stop being authoritarian, tyrannical and shutting people off, but still pushing bigotry to the fore.

And it is also time for people to apologize to Pst Chris, Pst Oyedepo and other Christian leaders.
