Stop it . It’s not making you better . As a Yoruba man myself and also an Oloye. I see good in every tribe in Nigeria. What differentiates you from others if you think like this. That just makes you same with those you love to hate simple!
You are right. I don't hate anyone but throwing jabs. You can read the unprintable things people peddle here about my race. As an oloye, I will be learning from you. In my own town, we greet chiefs, ' ẹbọ a fiín.' meaning your prayers for us will be accountable by God.

I hate people talking against my tribe, ahh!

Anyway, thanks for the correction.

Some Boys Make Fun of Elisha
Elisha went from that city to Bethel. He was walking up the hill to the city, and some boys were coming down out of the city. They began making fun of him. They said, “Go away, you bald-headed man! Go away, you bald-headed man!”

Elisha looked back and saw them. He asked the Lord to cause bad things to happen to them. Then two bears came out of the forest and attacked the boys. There were 42 boys ripped apart by the bears. Kings 2:23-25
We are talking of children of God here, his slave dey put mouth.

Christianity EtcRe: Where Was God Living Before He Created Heaven?i Just Want To Be Englightened. by MightySparrow: 7:51am On Feb 08, 2025
TenQ:
The answer is extremely simple and built into the Trinity. What did Jesus teach?

God is SPIRIT (the infinite Spirit) who is EVERYWHERE.
John 4:24:
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."


As the Holy Spirit, God is INVISIBLE either on the earth (Physical Realm) or the heavens (Spiritual realm). The Holy Spirit is like AIR (RUACH) whose Presence through His actions can only be felt. In other words, the Holy Spirit is the Omnipresent existence of God.

Thus, the whole of the Universe (Physical and Spiritual) is INSIDE the Spirit of God as God the Holy Spirit is INVISIBLE

Psalm 139:7-10:
"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me."
Jeremiah 23:24:
"Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord."


Acts 17:28a kills it by telling us that we LIVE inside God (as the Holy Spirit).
Act 17:28
"For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'"


The Word (The Son , Jesus) on Earth is the VISIBLE image of the invisible God, the Messanger of God's presence.

Colossians 1:15:
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation"


The Father is the VISIBLE image of the invisible God in the Heavens who sits on the throne in heaven to preside over it.


This is why in Genesis 19:24, Yahweh on earth could rain down fire from Yahweh in heaven.

Genesis 19:24
"Then Yahweh (on earth with Abraham) rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the heavens."


This is why in the Throne room of the FATHER in Heaven, you cannot SEE the Holy Spirit. You can only see the Father and the Word (the Lamb, the Son) because ALL EXISTENCE are inside Him


So the question of WHERE was God is misinformed because ALL existence physical and spiritual is INSIDE God.


The whole Universe physical and spiritual are all a tiny subset WITHIN God as the Holy Spirit.

IYANGBALI:
I was just going through my holy bible some couple of minutes ago,Genesis to be precised and chapter 1 verse 1 says " In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." a question now came to my mind,where was God living before he created heaven,honestly i am not trying to play any pranks here i just want to be enlightened and i would be grateful if anyone out there could help me out.
Thanks so much for sharing this inspirational thought. I had something weird like that sometime ago a man asked or shared with me.
Was there a time, when God just discovered Himself? Be just discovered, how powerful, wise, .....all the absolute qualities. Then thought of creation , then created heavens, then the hosts thereof. Definitely, the creation of the earth and all that filled it was an afterthought, an experiment. Something under a watch in his laboratory, waiting for an eventual result in the afterlife after resurrection.

The arrangement of the heaven itself, the one revealed to us is vague. Moses saw one, Paul saw three, John gave a description of one similar in the arrangement with Moses and David's, sort of a mobile version visited Ezekiel.
My conclusion: God might still be living in a separate place, visiting the known heaven whenever He wants to hold meetings with His hosts. John said that there was a Temple in heaven and the true scriptures there. Then, for whom? What are the uses if the people there see God always?

The Bible says God lives in an unapproachable light. I think no being can see or approach Him until He tries to show Himself, even to angels. How does He now sit on a Throne forever. Maybe our thoughts of God is wrong or imagination little. He is too big beyond all comprehension.

Great100000:
The House of Representatives committee on constitutional review on Thursday revealed that it has received proposals for the creation of 31 new states. If the proposals are approved, the states of the federation will move from 36 to 67.

Previously part of the old Anambra, it was split to form Enugu State.

Created from the former North-Eastern State during General Murtala Muhammed’s regime.

6. Bayelsa State – October 1, 1996

16. Imo State – February 3, 1976

18. Kaduna State – May 27, 1967

28. Ondo State – February 3, 1976

36. Zamfara State – October 1, 1996

Created from Sokoto State.

Despite the 36-state structure, various ethnic and political groups continue to demand more states, arguing for better representation, economic benefits, and administrative efficiency.

However, critics have argued that while state creation has helped bring administration closer to the people, it has also contributed to economic dependency on the federal government.

EducationRe: FG Scraps JSS, SSS, Introduces 12-year Basic Education Model by MightySparrow: 4:53am On Feb 07, 2025
D00msDay:
Our education system should give compulsory room for vocational training, tech skills etc. The world is changing and our educational system should be adjusted to fit into the new world. Let's do away wit our archaic and precolonial system of education.

The future is tech. AI is taking over. Acquiring a tech skills should be a must in our educational system.

Years back I had to talk some sense into my young bro who wanted to study mechanical engineering " the same course I graduated wit but nothing to show for it and I had to switch profession". I told him to go for software engineering or cyber security. After all the argument he took my advice and now a graduate of computer engineering from FUTMINNA and his his doing so well for himself and the family.

After chopping books like Engineering Drawing with Worked Examples, by F. Pickup and M.A. Parker, and graduating wit a 2.1, I still ended up changing profession.
I don't really share your view, there is nothing wrong with Mechanical Engineering, if you are a graduate of any engineering course, you can be as good as any graduate of Physics, Mathematics, and even Computer Science or Engineering. It is just a matter of picking up some relevant books and read. The course itself has taught you that. It is only because Nigeria is a funny country that makes gold looks like Aluminum. I know few friends that finished as you did that now banker's and accountant's, they in banks and auditing firms, even KPMG! My point is as an engineer, you can always maneuver your way out of any adverse economy. You are wired for that. I would still have preferred your brother to have studied Mechanical Engineering, then switch to computer whatever. I hold an M.Sc in the same course during the inglorious days of IBB. I don't regret it. My wife suggested to my son to read Computer Science, I refused, it is still better to be an engineer, whichever field, then computer training can follow. As an engineer, you are taught to reason better and dabble to any field.
You create machines for every profession, even medical field relies on your skill to perform.

Cheers, great colleague.
