The people here are so delusional and ignorant. 🤣🤣🤣

I doubt you follow the discourse at all. You don’t even understand my position on this subject.

Mirasteel:
America? same America that was the reason why those zionist Jews had a land to call their own? most of you guys here are so funny and ignorant.

Not America but British.

Arrowhead71:
I understand where you are coming from
... a theological Christian...very confusing interpretation of scriptures..because the letters killeth , it only the spirit of the words of God that give life
Am suprise you don't know that the word Christian is ...christ believers or followers
No christ ..no Christian
No Jews..no christ
So if christ is Christian root.
And jew is christ ròot
It then follows..that the Jews
..Israeli is Christian root
If you dispute this ..then your Christianity is questionable

You have been brainwashed by your pastors. I am not a “theological Christian”, I am an “historical Christian”.

Go and do a little research on your own.

Christians are minority in Israel. They come third after Judaism and Islam. Islam has more claims to Israel than Christians. It shocks you?

Christianity evolves from Judaism but most Jews don’t believe what Christians believe that Jesus is the messiah because it is contradictory to their faith and belief.

Jews believe God entered into covenant with them directly without an intermediary, and this covenant happened before Jesus Christ was born. So, they do not understand you when you say Jesus is the messiah. They only understand the God of their fore fathers - God of Isaac, God of Moses and God of Jacob.

That is history!

Firebomber:
You still don't make any sense, you are just showing your hatred for the Jews as a typical hisslamist


Did I need to remind you that all the 12 disciples of Jesus are Jew and they are Christian? So why are you making it sound as if being a Jew is an opposite of Christian?

Or you don't read your Bible to know what it says about the Jews and their belief in Jesus being the Messiah?

Yes the 12 disciples were Jews but NOT Christians. Christianity came after Jesus Christ departed this world. The 12 disciplines along side Jesus were defending the laws written in the Torah (and not the bible).

Your problem is Arab but you have fotgotten that there are Jews who are Muslims and they are more predominant than Christians in Israel.

I can bet you have never met a single Jew in your life time. I have many of them as friends.

You feel being a Christian means hating Muslims. I love Muslims, I love Buddhists, I love all religions. I see humanity in everyone.

You are the Jew wannabe who doesn’t even understand what you are saying. How for Pete’s sake would you call Jesus or his disciples Christians?

Christianity evolves from people who they call “small christs”, who behave like Jesus Christ and follow his path. That doesn’t make Jews abandon the religion of their fore fathers which is “Judaism”.

fredoooooo:
You changing religion to politics is my point.
Jesus was crucified by the same jew , so why bring him into their affairs... Capisci?
Sense and common sense

That’s not politics, that’s history.

Can you see who needs the sense more, Israeli-wannabe?😄

Arrowhead71:
Tell me what I don't know already
Some Jews reject jesus in first coming..
But jesus said ...salvation is of the Jews...and jesus said the Jews will not see him until when they will say blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.....and that day is fast approaching.... because a remanant of the jew shall accept jesus...be saved according to scripture
You are not a Christian and you don't know Bible

You said I was not a Christian just because I was schooling you on what you don’t know.

Well, Jesus Christ was not a Christian while on earth too. So that’s not a problem. Jesus Christ defended all the laws in Torah (and not the bible) while on earth. I knew all I was saying sound so strange to you.

You need to read about history , you are clearly deficient in it.

Most Jews reject the bible because they see it as contradicting their faith -Judaism. They hold on to what is written in Torah and also repeated in Exodus 31:17 which states that - “It is an everlasting sign between me and the people of Israel." (Exodus 31:17) . God made this everlasting covenant with the people of Israel when Jesus was not in the picture. Now you introducing them to Jesus as a messiah is contradictory to their belief.

I was born an Anglican and I still practice the faith but I don’t have issue with Muslims, Buddhist or anyone to practise their faith the way they deem fit. What I was saying does not belittle Christianity but just telling you what you don’t know.

Stop judging people as not being a Christian. You are not the God’s second in command

.

Arrowhead71:
Since you are not a born again Christian, you cannot know
If the spirit of jesus is in you...you are a spiritual israelite
And in the last days we and the jews will be together the New Jerusalem
Just like you can become another country citizen by marriage or by nationalized

Dey deceive yourself.

Jesus Christ, while on earth, defended the laws in the book of his fore fathers - the Torah. Most Jews never believed in the bible, they only believe in Torah. Some of them see bible as the collection of their history and culture. Most of them don’t see Jesus Christ as the way to God. They believe in the Mosaic laws as the final.

So tell me why you and such individuals would be put in the same basket?

The day you hold a conversation with an Israeli, you will be shocked.

They don’t see him as the messiah.

I repeat, you are a Nigerian (not an Israeli), you are an African (not a Jew).

Righteousness2:
No matter how you Hate the Jews, you cannot do Without them.

ISRAEL is a COVENANT . A VERY STRONG COVENANT
They are the APPLE OF GOD'S EYE..
IT IS THROUGH ISRAEL THAT GOD ALMIGHTY YOUR CREATOR INTERACTS WITH THE NATIONS AND THE EARTH.

This covenant was established in Judaism. Jesus Christ defended Judaism laws while on earth but Judaism holds a significant variance to modern day Christian’s belief.

Till date, Israelis believe in Torah and not the bible.

fredoooooo:
Israels are not Christians but Jews..

Was Jesus Christ not a Jew while on earth ?

So what exactly was your point.

If Jesus needed passport to travel then, he would be using an Israeli passport. So I asked again, what’s your point?

Arrowhead71:
You are an israelite if you are genuinely born again Christian... God bless you

What has been “born again” got to do with being an Israeli.

Africans and overdo.

You are a Nigerian , never an Israeli. Go and tell an Israeli that , he will ask you on what basis are you an Israeli.

Pastors say Holy Spirit would protect us. Israel has never spoken about Holy Spirit but bombs and deadly weapons.

That’s the birth place of our Lord Jesus Christ.

What is actually happening?

What do you expect from an industry that shoots an entire movie within 3 days with 400k budget where all their gatemen and cooks must be clowns.

TopNotchTrends:
There was a mild drama at the 90th birthday of Baba Ijebu yesterday between the Alaafin of Oyo and The Ooni of Ife.

It seems both of them have beef with each other as the Ooni of Ife passed the microphone to the Alaafin of Oyo with his left hand.

In response the Alaafin instructed his aide to wrap the mic with handkerchief before receiving it.

I don't know the cause of their quarrel but I think such displays should be discouraged.

All the kings in Nigeria are living large on our commonwealth without any meaningful contributions to our economy.
That explains why they can marry as much as they can - they don’t need to work, allocations must come each month.
They are such a drain.

Sadly, those being oppressed are fighting among themselves over whose king is more superior than the others.

This is what happens when a felon was made a President.

US sells democracy to the whole world and they happened to be the first country that made a felon to be a President

If any African countries had done that, all hell would have been let loose but this is almighty America, everyone pretends like it’s normal.

Quite unfortunate.

SpaceX:
This president is just incompetent in all areas of life, nothing good cam ever come out of him.

Do us a simple favour.

Show us what you have accomplished since you were born.

At least, Tinubu rose to the highest seat in the land, tell us your meaningful
Achievements, then you will earn the right to disparage him.

id4sho:
The french are very corrupt, all african dictators have propeties there, now yall understand why Tinubu goes to france

If France has written something untowards against Nigeria, you wouldnt see French as corrupt at that time.

Look yourself in the mirror and tell me what you see.

Why are you so bent on burning the country to the ground when you anticipate bad news about your very own country?

It's quite unfortunate.

Mistersolar:
haaaaa...i will confirm this,and im saving already for dec exhibition

See silly reason a government for converting children Playground to a residential area:

https://insideoyo.com/why-we-want-to-convert-trans-amusement-park-into-housing-estate-makinde/

See how much they are selling a plot there now. Go there and see massive edifices being built:

Sagacity10:
Stop telling lies becuase you want to drive your points for cheap likes. I and my team were in Agodi gardens and Eleyele club last week. Agodi gardens is still in full operation. The aspect sold is the undeveloped bush that connect the garden.
You make it look like HE SOLD THE AGODI GARDEN.
MAY UNA DEY FEAR GOD NOW.

Sometimes I feel sorry for you lot - see how you are defending the indefensible.
Yes, I meant a part of Agodi Gardens had been sold to real estate developer. This was a vast land which had been there as a "green" zone - Do you even understand what that means?

Not every land is supposed to be used for building. We have parks, green zones in some African and western countries - this improves the air quality and adds to the aesthetic. As big as Ibadan is, tell me just one green zone you see there. They are all gone and the deep pockets have bought all your lands.

What happens to the proceeds, we know it will be looted as usual. Who are the biggest losers here? - individuals like you who are breaking every sweat to defend their oppressors. It is not like you have money to buy a plot of land there, you can only look at the estate from afar.

A State Governor is just an administrator and meant to serve the interest of the State, and not to destroy it or use his or her position to enrich himself. Stop seeing Governors as either Kings or Emperors, they are not. You should be asking hard questions about how he administers your commonwealth, not blindly supporting them even to your own and future generation detriments.

I remember a lawyer dragged him to court over his action: https://thenationonlineng.net/lawyer-sues-oyo-govt-for-converting-agodi-gardens-to-estate/ and read what a newspaper reports about Makinde's action: https://dailypost.ng/2023/12/27/condemnations-trail-oyo-govts-planned-conversion-of-agodi-gardens-to-estate/

Sagacity10 - O kawe but o laju (meaning you are educated but not exposed. There is a HUGE difference there)

Mistersolar:
wait wait, u mean trans will be demolished to build residential building?

It has been demolished already and houses have been built there.

Why a land designated as “recreational” could be turned to “ residential “ beats me.

I hope the next administration revokes this decision and destroy those houses.

How can a sane government sold a land that is at the centre of Ibadan to developers best le, yet we have some docile individuals here praising him and still touting me as a presidential material.

It’s quite unfortunate how he behaves like he has an absolute power and his decisions couldn’t be challenged.

Makinde is threatening the FG?

He has sold all state lands to real estate developers. He is now eyeing the FG land to be sold.

A place dedicated as children playground (Trans Amusement Park) for years in the heart of the city has been sold to a real estate developer.
Same with Agodi Garden.

Makinde is unhinged.

The man has lost his moral compass, and I wonder the set of people egging him on.

Nigerians love drama.

They call India and China idol worshippers, yet these Nations are busy growing economically.

Elon Musk doesn't pay tithe, yet he is the richest man on earth. Why has cankerworm refused to eat his money?

The world is going AI and undergoing 360-degree scientific groundbreaking innovation, it is this jamboree we are focused on.

That explains our story as a nation.

Unnecessary Jamboree.

Under the guise of spirituality, they have veered off the road of salvation.

You seem to be arguing a different point to me.

I'm stating that Nigeria's stats are correct, I haven't made any comparisons.
If you make a comparative analogy, then I can weigh in.

You are not in a position to validate the data integrity.

You don't know the source, you don't know the methodology, you don't even know the margin of error.

FarahAideed:
US bonds are discounted they don't pay interest , you know nothing about bonds sef ...

Well let me school you , if you like don't learn and keep arguing. Below are the primary reasons the Chinese bid for US Bonds

1. To manage its currency (the yuan) and keep exports competitive

China sells massive amounts of goods to the U.S.
That brings in a flood of U.S. dollars.

If China just dumped those dollars into the open market, the yuan would rise (appreciate) — making Chinese goods more expensive abroad.
So instead, China buys U.S. Treasuries to:

Soak up excess dollars, and

Keep the yuan’s value lower — which helps sustain exports.





2. To safely store its foreign reserves

China holds over $3 trillion in foreign exchange reserves, mostly in U.S. dollars.
It needs a safe, liquid, and stable place to park that money — and nothing fits better than U.S. Treasuries.

Why?

They’re backed by the U.S. government so zero risk

There’s a huge market — easy to buy or sell anytime.

They earn steady interest.


So Treasuries act like China’s savings account for its national reserves.



3. To strengthen financial and geopolitical leverage

By holding a big chunk of U.S. debt, China gains soft influence over the U.S. economy.
It’s not direct control — but it gives China:

A seat at the table in global financial stability discussions.

A lever it can pull (or threaten to pull) if U.S.–China relations get tense.

A way to ensure mutual dependence — the U.S. needs China to keep buying debt, and China needs the U.S. to keep its markets open.

The first line of your submission reflects your shallow knowledge about this subject and there is really no need to engage you further. Just read the attached, Mr. 145 IQ

To show you are just dumping whatever you see on the internet here, you claim US does not pay interest on their bonds but I direct you to YOUR own submission under point 2(To safely store its foreign reserves), read the last part under the sub heading. Let me quote it for you - "They earn steady interest." .

You just scored an own goal for the world to see

Mr. copy-and-paste, are you still sure of that 145 IQ which you are proudly brandishing around?

passion007:
People who think Nigeria's stats are exaggeratedare actually misguided.

When you fly into Lagos at night, you will appreciate how many people are homeless. Loads of people just laid outside, withing a loose sheet to cover them.
Then you think of the beggars and all those who live under all the Lagos bridges. The homeless population in Lagos is no less than 1 million.

Kano is even in a worse situation than Lagos as homelessness in Kano affects predominantly children under 18 years. The homeless population will be no less than 1.5 million.

The other states are less affected but cumulatively, our total homeless population is definitely in excesss of 4.5M

Have you been to the US or Canada before?

US should be leading the park.

Kanu is difficult to work with.

Let me make it clear, Kanu is flirting with life imprisonment.

Defending himself in court might project the image of a strong man but judicially, he is going to rot in jail.

FarahAideed:
What is this one saying?

You said buying US bonds doesn't stabilize the Yuan and I countered you ..please what are you saying?

Let me educate you using baby language, Mr. High IQ .

1. China is not buying US bonds to stabilize Yuan.

2. China buys US bonds because:

1. They want to earn interest on the money invested

2. They want to be able to have strategic influence on the US economy. So, you ask, how. Let me explain:

If China buys bond, let say at the foreign exchange rate of 1USD to 10 Yuans, and let us say they buy 10 bonds (let say 1US bonds is sold at 1USD). This means China will pay US 10dollars to be able to hold 10 US bonds (100 Yuans). Now, if US makes China angry, just like it is happening now due to tarriff, China can sell off some of their US bonds which will make US dollars to lose value (weaken US Dollars) and increasing the debt of the US. Though, in the process, China too will lose because the foreign exchange could now be 1USD to 15 Yuans - which means China will need more Yuans to get 1USD, all the economy of the world will be dragged down in the mess. So, China not selling a significant portion of their US bonds, will maintain and preserve the foreign exchange reserve ratio of Yuan to USD, but now that they are angry, they are selling US bonds which they hold, and the value of the USD is going south.

Summary: You should not have said China is buying US bonds because they want to stabilise Yuan, but rather one of the reasons China is buying US bond is to stabilize their Foreign exchange reserve (which is very different from what you typed in your post).

If it is still looking like a rocket science to you, please get in touch to be tutored, Mr 145 IQ .

My IQ is confirmed to be above 145 , I personally I thinks it's more .... Usually I don't exchange talk with anyone with an IQ below 100 because it's a waste of time but I will give this exception today .

Please see attached

The issue you have is you rushed to any online resources, most of which are not credible as reference. Most of these sites contents were written by individuals like you, who have limited knowledge of the subject matter. Let me explain to you using a layman's language:

China has lot of inflow due to their active manufacturing base. Thus, instead for the excess cash to lie idle, they can afford to buy US bond which the US would be paying them interest on - in that way they are making more money from it.

I strongly advise you that whenever you read anything, digest it, dont just swallow it hook, line and sinker.
Right now, China is dumping USD. If it is to maintain their reserves, will they be dumping US dollars. Due to the tarrif that Trump imposed, they are dumping the USD now in order to undermine the US dollars. Let me cite you a more credible source as my own reference, Mr. high IQ - https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-central-bank-asks-state-lenders-reduce-dollar-purchases-sources-say-2025-04-09/

The countries of the world believe in the US dollars because they consider it as a safe haven.

The confidence is being punctuated with Trump that is installing his loyal friends to be controlling the treasury and undermining the trust.

It is so bad that investors were turning to Gold instead of the USD, and the Gold price surge.

Federal workers who have been furloughed in the US are queuing up on the streets to eat. People forget that people live paycheck to paycheck in the western world, once you lose your job, you cannot survive for a month whereas in Nigeria you can still go for months, getting by.

I wasn't comparing but just saying life in the western world is so exaggerated and Africans look through their rose-tinted glasses to view it.

If this trend continues, the US will lose the privilege which gives their economy a competitive edge and that is the trust in the USD.
