Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Claims Israel ‘Would Have Been Blown Up’ Without Him, Warns Netanyahu by monex(m): 8:13pm On Jun 16

Trump meant Iran will use Nukes on Isreal if she get it .... but you are trying to say it differently
exactly. He ended up justifying Trumps attack on Iran without even knowing it

God1000:
Donald trump the god of Israel has spoken


This is an admission that Iran would have wiped out Israel from the surface of the earth without the support of USA
You are reading it out of context and have ended up inadvertently justifying the original attack on Iran. Trump is talking about nuclear weapon.

Iran has repeatedly maintained it never intended to build a nuclear weapon even with 65% uranium enrichment.

Trump is saying that Iran intended to do that and attack israel with a nuclear weapon.

You are reading it out of context and aligning with Trump's rationale for starting what is considered an unjustifiable war.

be careful when you start a false narrative that can backfire.

To be very sincere, though we want the power to shift from the failed government of Tinubu, but I the marriage of Obi and Kwakwanso is a marriage already pregnant with strange children which time will reveal their true identity. Kwakwanso just sees Obedient Movement as a good vehicle to actualize his plans. I'm not seeing them running on the same ideology.

This is a big victory for Nigeria. Congratulations to the Nigerian and American forces that pulled off the operation. At least, the rest of the world can see that Nigeria is not a disgraceful country. We are a country of exceptional human beings who are willing to cooperate with the international community to deal with all existential threats to the good of humanity.

I am also glad that President Trump recognizes the complexities of the mission despite the collaboration between the two countries. Fighting terrorism is always complex even for the richest and most equipped army in the world.

Now, imagine what Nigeria alone has to face in dealing with the various security challenges facing the country. In our case, it is even more complex since we don’t have the kind of intelligence gathering capabilities, high tech equipment, and endless funding capacity like the US. In addition, we still have to manage the ethnic, religious and political angle of fighting these terrorists. With irresponsible opposition leaders like Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi who are always quick to downplay the effort of the military and spin military success against terrorists to killing of innocent civilians, it even becomes more complex.

Overall, kudos to President Trump and President Tinubu for working together on this. With more cooperation, a lot more can be achieved.
did you think it was complex during GEJ years. Or your awakening happened after your principals took over

I agree to an extent with you. Have you considered that humanity in the context could actually mean environment?

Better still, kindly define "humanity".
humanity connotes something collective of all humans i.e. the human race. This is in contrast to various societies and environments that have sprung up. Morality in Afghanistan is different from Morality in Sweden.

The problem is no such standard exists nor can it because all morality is by necessity subjective. Morality doesn't exist independent of minds.
indeed. The existence of objective morality is a philosophical question that has no answers till this day. Some schools of thought say there is and some even go further by using religion to define it. I respect that you say there isn't and i acknowledge that it is practical to assume there isn't and, rather than seek an objective morality, seek to define one (maybe by populist demands etc.)

So why did jesus tell you to be like children. You just like to argue.

Religion is a political construct. There was no Christianity in the time of jesus. Infact, Jesus was anti-religion. He preferred morality over institutionalised religion, pointing out their hypocrisy. Una just de go church but never bother to read bible. Same for muslims
According to Christian theology and non-religious scholars, Jesus was telling the audience to imitate children in humility, vulnerability and teachability. It had absolutely no inference to children knowing what is good or evil from birth.

you need to learn to be more logical and avoid assumptions in discussions like this. Four assumptions you made :

I am a Christian
I go to Church
I nor dey read bible
Muslims too nor dey read their Holy Book

I am not an atheist, neither am I religious. But I don't think a god is needed to be moral. Whatever rules and laws are made for a country, that's enough to build up your morality. For example, in Nigeria, lesbianism and gay is not allowed. If it is written in the constitution then it is enough.
makes sense although this is still relativism. Nigeria saying gay is evil does not objectively make it evil. There is need for an objective definition of good and evil. Each religion tries to claim itself as the objective definition of morality unfortunately.

The humanity in me defines my morality and not anything written in some books published over 6000 years ago. If your morality is defined by religion and the usual threat of hell fire, then you have no morality at all. You should do good because it's the right thing for you to do as a human being and not because of any religious code.
another fallacy. it isnt the humanity in you but your society and environment that defines your morality. There are folks who think killing gay people is wrong while some others think gay acts are not amoral and then others say it is wrong but does not deserve capital punishment.

all three above couldnt have gotten different morality from their humanity.

Which one is source of moralityhuh Every human being is born with a sense of what's right and wrong. Simple: treat others how you want to be treated.

The most wicked people in the world are the religious folks. Religion gives control over people to the few, who then manipulate it for extreme wickedness.
"Every human being is born with a sense of what's right and wrong. Simple: treat others how you want to be treated. "

this is untrue. concept of right and wrong is learned. we are not born with it. Our primal instincts are for survival.

"treat others how you want to be treated" simply translates as "treat others using your standard of good and evil".

We wouldn't need laws if "treat others how you want to be treated" was absolute

If anyone needs religion to be "moral"

If anyone needs religion inorder not to commit atrocities against other humans & not destroy the environment,then that person is a piece of s-h-i-t,scumbag
you dont need religion to be moral but you need a definition of good and evil with their relative gravities. Religion is one of many sources of the definition of good and evil.

Every human being was created with a conscience, an inate ability to know right from wrong.
you are moving from atheism with you notion of created with consience.

Note that most of what we call conscience is learnt from the environment. Humans have an ability for empathy but we learn what and where to show empathy from society. a child raised alone in an isolated jungle will only know survival.

Are you telling me you know better than me as a Muslim? Prophet is the highest possible divine status..
At least you know Muhammad is our messenger, and what do we call him?
Of course 'Prophet Muhammad '
That should tell you that at least to us, Addressing Jesus as a prophet show's we acknowledge him with the highest Divine rank. Let me school you a bit, in Islamic doctrine, any person who does not believe in Jesus, or loves him is considered non Muslim. There's no Islam without belief in Jesus. Furthermore, we refer to Jesus as 'Ulol Azumi' a higher rank even among the prophets, in the same league with Muhammad. We believe he will come back to earth and await him, we call him 'Al masih' the holy Messiah. In fact hundreds of Quranic verses talk about Jesus and Mary, their divine status, worship and how chosen they are by God.
Educate yourself, saying Muslims insult Jesus should be embarrassing to you. It's basic knowledge that Muslims regard him and other prophets of God
Divine status means he is of equal with God. I think you dont understand what divine status means

i never said so. I just mentioned that, as far as I know, "prophet" does not proffer a divine status (divinity) in either Islam or Christianity.

that makes your statement "Addressing Jesus as a prophet show's we acknowledge him with the highest Divine rank" false.

I suspect you misunderstand the meaning of divine.

Christians consider Jesus to be divine while Islam considers him a prophet.

How is a prophet an insult or are you dumb.
At least view it from their perspective and know what a prophet is to them. Christians term their high clergies too prophets, that's not how Muslims regard the rank of prophethood.
It is a God appointed status and a divine rank, no imam can be a prophet the Way Christians pastors are.
Even prophet Muhammad is a prophet at best.
So how does Muslims attributing the highest possible divine status to Jesus an insult?
@ view it from their perspective. ok so saying Mohammed is not a prophet is not as insult if you view it from the Christians perspective and know what a prophet is to Christians

also "So how does Muslims attributing the highest possible divine status to Jesus an insult?" prophet is not a divine status either in both Islam and Christianity

Why can’t they just resist the demonic urge of insulting what others hold onto as their gods?

Why can’t you just live and let other’s live?

Calling Jesus a mere Prophet is an insult for Christians. Religion is devoid of rationality most time so blasphemy laws are stupid and belong in the caves of savages not contemporary society.

Municipal Beirut, which is predominantly Sunni and Christian, is infrequently targeted by Israel.

Hundreds of Sunni muslims and Christian Lebanese, not Hezbollah fighters, not Shia Moslems, murdered by Isreal and war-crime suspect Netanyahu!

The Sunnis and Christians do not even suport the Shia Hezbollah! Yet they are murdered in their hundreds right in their residential areas and shops in broad daylight. Smh.



JUST IN: Lebanon death toll rises to 254
At least 254 people have been killed and 1,165 wounded by Israeli attacks across Lebanon today, Lebanon’s civil defence is reporting.

Beirut: 92 killed, 742 injured
Southern suburbs of Beirut: 61 killed, 200 injured
Baalbek: 18 killed, 28 injured
Hermel: 9 killed, 6 injured
Nabatieh: 28 killed, 59 injured
Aley District: 17 killed, 6 injured
Sidon: 12 killed, 56 injured
Tyre: 17 killed, 68 injured

Foreign AffairsRe: Captain Ibrahim Traoré Says Burkina Faso Must 'forget' About Democracy by monex(m): 6:40am On Apr 05

As long as his people is fine with his leadership, it's ok
Nigeria is a good case study here. We’ve practiced democracy for years, but many citizens still struggle with poor governance, insecurity, and economic hardship. So it’s understandable why some people question whether democracy is truly working for them.

That said, the problem may not be democracy itself, but how it is practiced. Weak institutions, corruption, and lack of accountability often undermine its benefits.

If the people of Burkina Faso genuinely support Ibrahim Traoré’s approach, then that’s their reality. But history across Africa has shown that removing democratic structures entirely can create even bigger risks, especially around power abuse and lack of accountability.
there is nly one way to know if his people are fine with his leadership. That is through credible polls. He is simply an autocratic military dictator. no more. He also lacks integrity
