Fact check.,..

Have we had Popes of African origin before..?

YES..!

There have been three African popes in the history of the Catholic Church, all from the early centuries of Christianity, when North Africa (especially modern-day Tunisia and Algeria) was a major center of Christian life and thought. Here they are:

1. Pope Victor I

Reign: 189–199 AD

Origin: Roman Africa (likely modern-day Tunisia)

Notable for: Being the first pope from Africa and advocating for the Latin language in the Church. He also took a strong stance on the date of Easter.

2. Pope Miltiades (also called Melchiades)

Reign: 311–314 AD

Origin: Roman Africa

Notable for: Serving as pope during Emperor Constantine’s rise. He oversaw the Church's transition from persecution to peace after the Edict of Milan.

3. Pope Gelasius I

Reign: 492–496 AD

Origin: Born in Roman Africa (some sources say he may have been of Berber descent)

Notable for: A strong theological mind, he defined the relationship between Church and State in the famous doctrine of "two powers": the sacred authority of priests and the royal power.

These popes were part of the Roman Empire’s African provinces, where Christianity flourished in the early centuries. While they were not sub-Saharan Africans, they were ethnically and geographically African by Roman standards.

So far, no pope from sub-Saharan Africa has ever been elected—yet!

By their fruits you shall know them.

I have never been one to be fooled by false prophets and pastors. What is the aim of that statement and why should a so-called pastor utter such? Prosperity teachings, lovers of the material world. Those who want to be deceived, will be.

I'm still shocked by the fact that not even one of all the people commenting here can come up with any tangible argument to oppose what the man of God said. Very clear message used to show how God dislikes Poverty. He never said Jesus hated the poor. Jesus loves everyone equally, both the rich and the poor. He only said very clearly that Jesus hated and still hates poverty. No wonder the scripture says in (3 John 1:2): "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers." This verse expresses a heartfelt desire for the spiritual and physical all round well-being and prosperity of the recipient, reflecting a belief that the two are interconnected. The scripture is essentially praying that all aspects of their life be flourishing.

The man of God has made a statement of Revelation. If you don't agree with this then bring up a superior argument backed up by scriptures. If you don't have... Then take the message and meditate on it

BlackViper:
Jesus often visited and cared for the poor, marginalized, and outcast. His ministry emphasized compassion, humility, and love for all people, especially those in need. In the Gospels, He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and spent time with lepers, tax collectors, and others whom society often rejected.

One notable passage is from 1.Luke 4:18, where Jesus says:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.”


2. Matthew 11:4-5

When John the Baptist’s disciples ask if Jesus is the Messiah, He replies:

“Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.”

3. Luke 14:13-14

Jesus encourages including the poor:

“But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you.”

4. Luke 7:22

Similar to Matthew 11:5, confirming Jesus’ mission includes the poor:

“...the poor have the gospel preached to them.”

5. Luke 19:1–10 – The Story of Zacchaeus


Though Zacchaeus was rich, this story shows how Jesus visited outcasts and sinners. After Jesus comes to Zacchaeus’s house, he pledges to give to the poor:

“Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor…” (Luke 19:8 )


The actions of Christ show that God's love is inclusive and that spiritual upliftment of the poor is an integral part of the Gospel Message

Anyone who preaches otherwise is a liar from the pit of hellfire.

Very simple... Provide scriptures where Jesus visited the poor in their houses. Simple.

The man said Jesus never visited the house of any poor man. Contradict this with a scripture. If you don't have... Then take the preaching and reflect on it.

This is from a website that's Anti -Government and Anti- Tinubu, and a more authentic report because it quoted the Judge's statements unlike the other Fake News wailers are wanking over. No wonder, I checked a few X accounts of some chief wailers and everything was dry. Even David Hundeyin who should have been the first to push it was nowhere to be found. So, what exactly are headless mob on Nairaland celebrating?. It just shows you guys are far behind and only waiting for a poop to be dropped in your mouths before typing on your phone. So, let's grab our popcorn and watch how wailers will change what they were saying on the other Fake thread two minutes ago.



After God na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria

I wonder what he will tell Amaechi... His very bossom friend.

Can you imagine..?

El Rufai was on top of the game then.

Opinion:

From Kingmaker to Castaway: How El-Rufai Helped Tinubu and Lost It All.


By Kingsley Udo

In the high-stakes political chess game that preceded the APC's 2023 presidential primary, one of the most pivotal and controversial moves came from Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. Once seen as a close confidant of Rotimi Amaechi, El-Rufai’s sudden pivot shifted the balance of power and redefined the trajectory of the ruling party.

At the time, Amaechi—then Minister of Transportation and rumored to be President Buhari’s preferred candidate—was strategically positioned to influence the APC’s internal structure. His camp had installed a loyal Caretaker and Convention Planning Committee designed to hold sway over the party’s presidential ticket. With Governor Mai Mala Buni at the helm of that committee, the Amaechi camp appeared to have the upper hand.

But then came the twist.

In a stunning move, El-Rufai reportedly mobilized all northern governors under Buhari’s umbrella and threw his weight behind Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He physically relocated to Abuja, dismantled the existing party leadership, and methodically disarmed the Amaechi faction. With swift precision, El-Rufai cleared the path for Tinubu to secure the APC presidential ticket—seemingly without resistance from Amaechi, despite his political influence and supposed backing from the Aso Rock cabal.

There have long been whispers behind closed doors that El-Rufai’s defection to the Tinubu camp wasn’t just ideological—but transactional. According to unverified but persistent rumours, Tinubu, then a ceremonial leader within the APC, may have paid El-Rufai handsomely to execute the takedown of the Caretaker Committee’s grip on the party ticket. The speed, coordination, and outcome of the move only added fuel to the speculation.

Yet, in a twist of poetic irony, the very camp El-Rufai allegedly delivered victory to has since sidelined him. Tinubu’s circle has offered El-Rufai little political reward, possibly seeing him not as a trusted ally, but as a hired hand whose job is done. And perhaps more critically—as someone who betrayed his own camp once, and could do it again.

It raises the question: was El-Rufai merely a tool in a larger strategy? A pawn that became too dangerous to keep on the board?

Now, as talks emerge of El-Rufai positioning himself for yet another political battle—possibly even rallying forces to challenge Tinubu—he faces an uphill task. How does he convince the same people he betrayed—Amaechi, Buni, Malami, Akpanudoedehe, and even Buhari—to fight alongside him?

The scars are deep, the stakes even higher. El-Rufai may be a master tactician, but bringing that fractured alliance back from political death may require more than cunning. It may require a miracle.

Malam El Rufai betrayed Amaechi at the last minute and mobilize All Northern Governors under Buhari to Tinubu against their earlier plans and agreement with his Bossom friend Amaechi. He scattered the APC Caretaker and Convention Planning Committee that was put in place by the Amaechi camp to control the party structure and checkmate Tinubu. El Rufai had to physically relocate to Abuja just to ensure that he took over the party and scatter the Amaechi plan. Allegedly because Amaechi was planning to make Gov. Buni, then APC National Chairman of the Caretaker Committee. My surprise was that Amaechi, then a mighty Hon. Minister of Transportation and aledgely President Buhari' s choice candidate, did not do much to stop El Rufai.

El Rufai single handedly scattered and disorganised the then APC party leadership and from no where handed over the ticket of
the party to Tinubu. Without any visible opposition from the Amaechi camp that was said to have had the backing of the then Aso Rock cabal Vis a Vis the the President Buhari.

The Rest is history today. I wonder how El Rufai will convince people like Buhari, Buni, Amaechi, Malami, AKPANUDOEDEHE, then APC National Sect. That was the last man standing to keep the Amaechi team alive etc, to join him in this very tedious fight of removing Tinubu.

This is not pressure. He gave her 3 options. Choose any one of 3. It must not be the marriage option.

Add your own..!

Alright, Op let’s go hard and detailed with a powerful routine that will break this cycle of itching, irritation, and discomfort. If you follow these steps strictly for the next 7 to 14 days, you’ll most likely see a massive improvement, if not total relief.

COMPLETE TREATMENT AND HYGIENE PLAN FOR SEVERE PUBIC ITCHING (ESPECIALLY ON THE SCROTUM)

PHASE 1: ELIMINATE THE CAUSE (DAY 1–3)

1. STOP ALL SHAVING IMMEDIATELY

Do NOT shave again until the area has healed completely.

If the hair grows out and becomes irritating, gently trim only with scissors or an electric trimmer.

2. CLEANSE PROPERLY—TWICE DAILY

Morning and night: Wash the groin, scrotum, and inner thighs with lukewarm water and antifungal soap (like Dettol, Medicated Pears, or Nixoderm soap).

Avoid hard scrubbing. Just use your hand or a clean soft cloth.

Dry the area COMPLETELY using a clean towel. Pat dry, don’t rub.

3. APPLY ANTIFUNGAL CREAM

After drying, apply Clotrimazole 1% or Ketoconazole cream directly to the scrotum and surrounding itchy areas.

Use this twice daily (morning and night) for at least 14 days, even if itching stops.

If you can get Lamisil (Terbinafine) cream, it’s even more powerful—use once daily.

4. AVOID ALL MOISTURE

Sweat is your enemy. Apply antifungal powder (like Funbact-A powder, Abzorb powder, or Mycota powder) during the day to keep the area dry.

Change your underwear twice a day if you sweat a lot.

PHASE 2: RELIEVE IRRITATION AND ITCHING (DAY 1–7)

1. STOP SCRATCHING AT ALL COSTS

Scratching breaks the skin and invites more fungi and bacteria.

Cut your fingernails short. If the urge comes, tap or press, don’t scratch.

Wear loose boxers or wrap a cloth loosely if you’re indoors.

2. SOOTHE THE BURNING AND ITCH

Apply Calamine lotion at night after the antifungal cream dries.

Use Hydrocortisone 1% cream ONLY if the itching is unbearable—but don’t use longer than 5 days and don’t combine it with antifungal creams unless told by a doctor.

3. USE ANTIHISTAMINE

Take Cetirizine 10mg or Loratadine 10mg at night before sleep to calm the itch and help you rest.

If itching is extreme during the day, take one more dose (but don’t exceed 2 per day)

PHASE 3: PROMOTE HEALING AND PREVENT REOCCURRENCE (DAY 7–21)

1. LET IN AIR

At night, sleep without underwear if possible.

Let the area breathe and stay cool.

2. SWITCH TO COTTON UNDERWEAR ONLY

No nylon, silk, or tight synthetic materials.

Wash underwear in hot water, dry under the sun.

3. BOOST YOUR IMMUNITY

Eat immune-boosting foods: Garlic, ginger, fruits, and veggies.

Take Vitamin C 1000mg daily and Zinc if you can.

4. DRINK WATER LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT

Flush toxins out—aim for 3–4 litres daily.

DANGERS TO AVOID

Avoid body creams that contain steroids like Clobetasol, unless a doctor prescribes.

Do NOT mix creams randomly—stick to one antifungal.

Don’t use alcohol or perfume-based products around your groin.

No talcum powder—it can worsen fungal infection.

FINAL NOTE

You’re likely dealing with a fungal infection + shaving irritation + sweat rash combo. If you follow this plan 100% with discipline, you’ll see major results. But if it persists after 2 weeks of strict treatment, go to a skin specialist (dermatologist)—you may need an oral antifungal or stronger cream.

Try this and tell me THANK YOU..!

N2 Million? That’s an Insult to Serious Business!

Let’s stop pretending and say it like it is—what exactly can N2 million do in Nigeria today? Pay rent for a few months? Buy a handful of materials? Keep a small business afloat for a short while? That’s nothing more than survival money, not expansion money.

A video has been making rounds of a governor presenting N2 million to a hardworking woman who is struggling to grow her local production business. At first glance, it looks like a generous gesture—a leader supporting a small entrepreneur. But look deeper, and you’ll realize this is not empowerment; it’s a temporary fix that won’t take her anywhere.

This woman is already running a business. She’s in production—one of the toughest sectors where costs are high, competition is fierce, and raw materials aren’t cheap. What she needs is proper investment, not a token amount that barely scratches the surface.

Even if we stretch the figure to N5 million, it’s still peanuts. You don’t build industries with pocket change.

Did She Even Have the Chance to Ask for More?

If you watched that video closely, you’d see something was off. The woman wasn’t expecting that moment. She was caught off guard. When the governor asked her how much she needed, she probably thought, Let me not ask for too much and ruin my chance. Let me say something reasonable so I don’t lose everything.

So, she blurted out N2 million—not because that’s what she actually needed, but because she was trying to play it safe. But should a moment of stage fright decide the future of an entire business?

Let’s even assume she had confidently asked for N10 million or N20 million. Would that have been too much? Not at all. In today’s Nigeria, if you are serious about scaling a production business, you’re looking at at least N50 million to N100 million to get things moving properly.

N2 million is barely enough for serious machinery, staffing, distribution, or marketing. Even getting stable power supply for a factory requires serious investment.

So, let’s stop fooling ourselves—this money isn’t going to change anything in the long run.

What Should the Government Be Doing Instead?

If the government is really serious about empowering small businesses, then they need to go beyond handouts and start making real investments. Here’s what should have happened:

✅ Set up a fully equipped production plant for this woman—not just throw money at her and leave her to struggle.

✅ Import high-quality machines from China—modern equipment that will boost efficiency and scale production.

✅ Create a sustainable employment structure—train and hire young people who can work in the plant and gain valuable skills.

✅ Link her up with larger markets—so her products don’t just circulate in the local community but also get exported.

✅ Provide long-term funding and mentorship—not just give her money and move on.

That is how you build industries, create jobs, and transform the economy. Not by throwing cash around for the cameras.

Stop the Tokenism—We Need Real Investment!

Nigeria is filled with hardworking entrepreneurs who are grinding every single day, trying to build something from nothing. They don’t need token donations—they need real backing.

The sad truth is that even the flex banner used to announce the N2 million donation probably cost more than the money itself.

Think about that for a second.

A business that has the potential to become a mass-production hub, an employer of labor, and a revenue generator for the state is being treated like a charity case. Meanwhile, those in power waste billions on frivolous expenses that do nothing for the economy.

If the government truly wants to support businesses, then they should stop playing games and start funding industrial growth the right way.

This woman’s business, properly equipped, could employ dozens, even hundreds, of people. It could be a powerhouse in local production, supplying not just Nigeria but the entire West African market. But instead of investing in that, we are celebrating a token donation that will be gone before the end of the year.

Enough With the Crumbs—It’s Time to Think Big!

What Akwa Ibom State needs is serious economic strategy, not publicity stunts. If we continue handing out crumbs and calling it empowerment, we will remain stuck in the same cycle of poverty and struggling businesses.

So here’s the challenge:

Let the government go beyond N2 million. Let them take this business seriously. Let them fund it properly, set up a real production plant, and watch it grow into something that will change lives for generations.

That is what real leadership looks like.

The question is—do we have that kind of leadership? Or are we just here to clap for breadcrumbs?
