There were slaves in the jesus era and they were blacks. There was also a thriving kingdom in Ethipia, did not mean tht they were the centre of the World. The New York of those days was Jerusalem, the epicenter of the world then, the melting pot of all nationalities.


There is no extra body except your own imagination. If Jesus ministered and preached for 3 1/2 years with his disciples, then on resurrection, if he is exactly the same, they will recognize him. That they failed to recognize him confirms the fact that his nature was changed. Mary seeing him as a gardener could only mean that he looked like a gardener and most hired help in those days were dark skinned. Jesus resurrected not as a white man, but as a coloured man. Tht would explain hy other disciples could neither recognize or believe him.

On another note, the early man is black, from scientific evidence. If the early man is black, then God's image and likeness is also black (he made us in his image). All descriptions of God (Dan 7:9 and Rev 1:15) describes someone of Negroid origin.

The earliest potrait of Jesus known to the Romans was that of a black man. The Romans knew this because the inprint of his face found on a cloth after resurrection was that of a black person.

I believe in pragmatism and not waiting for 'the incorruptable guy' that might not come in my generation's life time.

You might wait for eternity for that until the various constitiuents that make up the country come to a viable way and option of running the country.Also not every successful country in europe is homogenous eg spain.

True, it would take the movement of heaven for powers to even consider the position. If we reach that discussion, it would be because there is some sort of cataclysm threatening every comfort (legal and illegal) in the country and the only alternative is negotiation. In that light, it would be possible for agreements to be reached and enough time for the powerful to release their grip without losing face.

In my opinion, we are now approaching a do or die moment in Nigeria, I'm sure we'll rather sit down and talk than die.

If an agreement is reached and the various entities in the current agglomeration begin exploring and actualising their revenue potential; there will be such an explosion of financial opportunities all round that there should be minimal resistance.

Deep Sight:
I agree with you!!! I did not state that any scientist has stated that the universe started from nothing. Slow down, and you will understand my basic premises. We cannot jump too far ahead in a discussion of this nature or we will easily get lost.

I did indicate that this is a very profound discussion which needs to be taken step by step.

We both agree that the universe did not come out of nothing - very good! We will take it step by step from there.

I started it from zero, because you may not be aware that some persons would go so far as to contest that and state that it could have come from nothing. Like i said, we are building a pyramid here, every block has to be in place, dont worry, its 1 careful step at a time

Beaf:
Why do you say so?

@morpheus24

I missed your post above (I'm one of those really slow typers)

I see where you are coming from when you talk about our social culture.
A contract unique to Nigeria cannot be realistically followed to the letter immediately. There will need to a period of years (I would suggest 5) for all states to wean themselves off revenue from the FG, begin paying taxes to the center and build their local instituitions. That period would also serve as a time for every individual to get used to the new realities.

Beaf:
You forgot the detail about "The Treaty of Union". It is pretty detailed.

"The Treaty consisted of 25 articles.[4]

Article 1 provided for the new united Kingdom to be named Great Britain.

Article 2 provided for the succession of the House of Hanover, and for Protestant succession as set out in the English Act of Settlement.

Article 3 provide for the creation of the one, unified, parliament of Great Britain.

Articles 4–18 dealt with aspects of trade, movement, taxes, regulation etc to ensure equal treatment for all subjects of the new United Kingdom. Article 16 required the introduction of a common currency for Great Britain, subsequently effected through the 1707-1710 Scottish recoinage.

Article 19 provided for the continuation of Scotland's separate legal system.

Article 20 provided for the protection of heritable offices, superiorities, heritable jurisdictions, offices for life, and jurisdictions for life after the union.

Article 21 provided for the protection of the rights of royal burghs.

Article 22 provided for Scotland representation in the Parliament of Great Britain to be 16 Lords and 45 MPs.

Article 23 provided for Scotland's peers to have the same rights as English peers in any trials of peers.

Article 24 provided for the creation of a new Great Seal for the United Kingdom, different for the Great Seal of England (but that the English one could be used until it was created.)

Article 25 provides that all laws of either Kingdom that may be inconsistent with the Articles in the Treaty are to be declared void."

Ehoi:
We are forcing ourselves using the military. Mind you, I believe in one nigeria but not without justice, self determination of the regions and complete devolution of power.

Deep Sight:
@ mazaje - i am not a slavish adherent of anything fed to me by any one. You should have noticed that by now. It took me many years to arrive at my conclusions trust me. In the past i have been an Anglican, Jehovah's Witness, Rosicrucian, considered Islam, and almost Crossbearer. I have read the bible, the quoran, the grail message, and many Buddhist, Taoist, shintoist, and even hindu philosophies because i am a SEEKER. So don't worry, lets just reason along little by little, we will get there,

Ehoi:
The main point is we are being forced together without a working contract on how the nations, ethnic groups, religions and cultures are going to relate with each other for peaceful co-existence.

Ehoi:
I believe you are wrong but i won't argue with you because that is not the point i am making.

Ehoi:
Its instructive that the europeans refuse to do what they want us to do.
French people have their own country.
Germans have their own country.
English speaking people have their own country.
Portuguise have their own country.
Spanish speaking people have their own country.
But in africa, they want to lump all of us together without a working contract. Can never work.
They are using us to do experiment.
