If you're tired of reading troll comments, I think I can help you with your question.

@bolded part, first of all, of course it wasn't the plant's season, but let me tell you something: Fig trees bear fruit before they start to grow leaves. So on seeing "in a distance a fig tree covered with leaves", they all expected it to have produced plenty fruit already. Some plants happen to produce fruit early and before their season, it happens.

Now, for why he cursed the plant? Jesus was teaching his disciple a lesson. There's a lot of symbolism that fig tree could teach on; about faith, about "fruitless" people, about Israel as a whole etc. you've probably heard most of it. The act is simply just like your school teacher cutting off some plants, or killing an animal to bring to class and teach his students one or two things - it's normal. And it's not like the tree was someone's property or something so...

In addition to what you've just spoken, it is meant to teach that unfruitulness will never be tolerated by God. As we expect our farm to yield good harvest and becomes frustrated when we couldn't make a good harvest, the same way God expects us to be fruitful since we are the planting of the Lord, and when we refuse to bear fruit, removing and replacing with better plant becomes God's option

EyeofHorus:
I think he was very upset with someone. He transferred his aggression to the tree so that people won't say he has 'anger issues'.


****This is my own opinion

You have no part in this discussion, be concerned with the affairs of Lucifer your master. This thread is for the Children of God please

Skseries:
ppl like u are the problem of Nigeria, u shout rule of law, bt when this so called ppl brk law u won't come out and say is wrong.. ppl like u will come out and say buhari havnt jailed any corrupt person, is it not the corrupt judges that have the final say? I dnt just get this county, when we shud rally together and fight this corrupt ppl we stay back and shout rule of as if they give us part of the money they have.. person wey never chop slf go dey shout rule of law for someone that stole billions of dollars. nawa ooooo. sometimes I wish I wasn't a Nigerian cus ppl like u disgust me.

Oh boy the person championing the fight against corruption is corrupt. If not could you explain why Buratai up to now has not been charged? Who is fooling who here? If he is sincere in his fight against corruption, the whole Nigeria will support him

adeosunramsey:
can Nigerian especially the so called youths learn and realise they are far beyond thier classes, can they reason like the way I'm seeing things here?. can I call it an illeracy or lack or exposure?. I continue wondering if Nigeria can ever move forward in life due to their senseless way of reasoning on social media. have they ever sit and think that things shouldn't be in this way, do they want to continue to suffer running from pillar to post in the hand of our corrupted politicians for ever? can they just reason at once the huge amount of foreign currencies recovered from these enemies of Nigeria yet they want them not to be touch. u also deserve good apartments and basic social amenities which have been denied by this elements, please wake up from ur slumber have a new dream and think of new Nigeria is both in our hands. God bless Nigeria

Corruption fight is good when it is fought holistically. For example Obasonjo should be arrested to account for Otta farm ok, Jerry lawrings of Ghana spared no sacred cow in his fight against corruption. That's how corruption should be fought, and not shielding you friends and associates; Buratai, Danbazau and co and witch hunt those you feel that are obstacles to your dictatorial system of government

TheFreeOne:
That shouldn't stop the NBA from taking a firm action against the DSS / FG.

If they allow this go unchallenged then it will amount to giving up their right as an independent arm of govt.

The judiciary shouldn't allow itself be muzzled by the executive in the guise of fighting corruption.

The best way is to take them to ICC. Don't worry the days of his evil mentor Obama are numbered .He will vacate the white house for Donald Trump to come and clear his mess. He took this non democratic decision to intimidate the judges immediately after coming back from the United States. He should just put on his forgotten military regalia so that it will be obvious to us that we are in military regime. Country of the Zoo by the Zoo and for the Zombies

ilynem:
Selective you say? I saw some northern names among judged abducted. So what's your point?

It is selective absolutely, but why I love this man is that he always go after his supporters especially if you are Afonja. Tinubu',s own had begun, yours will be next, but don't come here to cry when it affects you

ilynem:
Watch all the wailers come out in this thread and spout rubbish. Democracy, rule of law, blah blah and yet they will fail to condemn the criminal judges for taking bribes. Someone is about to kill you, another comes and saves you by hitting the killer on the head with a stick and he passes out. Instead of you thanking him for saving your life, you say he should have followed due process by calling the police. Some of you are just dumb Sha.

Oh boy charity begins at home. He that comes to equity must have clean hands. Is he the president corruption free? What of his associates he has been shielding from corruption example Buratai and Danbazau? And you'd not tell me that he didn't intentionally manipulate the exchange rate to enrich his cronies. If you happen speak this your jaggon in my presence physically. You won't leave alive. Your likes are the reason this zoo government toy with their zombie followers like you of course

ArabMopol:
step on toes as u said, is it when some section of Nigeria are given preferable treatment let's do it randomly... buhari is a turncoat, we Nigerians has short of remembering, we shouldn't forget in a hurry how he pass 300years jail sentence on Dr Alex Ekwueme the vice President but kept shagari his fellow fulani in house arrest with terms of retiring prematurely from political scene... u know dis anti corruption war is skeptical and selective, but u are just shying away from the truth... very bad for an adult like u to continuously
spewing trash from both sides of ur mouth

The Zoo is about to yakata. Nnamdi Kanu is right after all, the Country is a complete zoo that doesn't define the system of government it's practising. Oh God deliver your children the Biafrans from the mixture of descendants of Lucifer thrown from the sky and the Ishmaelite. You've punished us enough.

ificatchmodeh:
Wow.. can't believe is the almight jagaban writing all these..
What's he scared of..like what happened...this not true..

Sometime last year..his fans where telling us au saraki will be. Jailed and ekweremadu sack as deputy senate president..
Telling us au the almighty jagaban is the political grandfather of nigeria and will push one botton and saraki is jailed.

Today, see as event don turn..jagaban now dey try survive..haa.
Was even been threaten for anti party activities..
Jagaban is now congratulating saraki and ekwe

The
Don't think lawal and group will find this funny..jagaban has betray them for his personal survival..

Hahahahahaha Ome the matter thick..
Finally Oyegun "a nobody" according to tinubu fans, has humbled jagaban of borgu..



Hausa/fulani ain't smiling when it comes to nigeria politics..either you're in or out..

Welcome back prodigal jagaban in oyegun. voice. ..
.your tru test lies in ondo election




I love politics..nigeria politics..you just can't beat the reach.. .

The Jagaban is a nobody at the national level. He's only relevant in the land of the star thrown down from heaven. Dino melaye has truly reduced him to nothing as well as tamed his wife that thought that NASS is Lagos. He has no option but to bitterly commend the action while dying in silence. I can see him in Kuje very soon except he's sensible enough to keep a low profile

A hand writing on the wall for the Jagaban. Awolowo loading. I love this Buhari, I think God brought him to sanitize the system and crush those that think they are untouchable, good riddance Mr President

I hope Mr Jagaban has got the message. Buhari doesn't send oooooo

Buhari is trying to complete his unfinished battle. He will have my support the day he raids NASS, I will mobilize the igbos to support him. NASS is the main enemy of Nigeria

Surfboard:
All these stories coming out when the Judges can't defend themselves and have been denied access to visitation and you're all here applauding tyranny?

Think about it. The judiciary is society's last hope against this government and if they can treat senior judges like this, imagine how they would treat you that is shouting 'crucify him'.

I hope you brainwashed people really sit back and think cause Nigeria is falling apart before our very eyes.

The zoo is finally falling as prophecies by Nnamdi Kanu. Very soon to the sound of its explosion will be heard. The next DSS moves will be NASS, there's nothing like immunity in this government and regretfully, Babangida is longer a military man. Well the Zoo is falling to our advantage anyway

brosci:
i may not be a fan of buhari but in term of fighting corruption he is the best. i swear if any brainless animal abuses buhari for arresting this judges tgat person will take a very dirty slap from me. imbeciles are shouting abuse of power why this fat bellied judges sends ur loved ones to jail just because of bribes, steak ur properties by an abused law just because of money. i swear that stupid nba president would have died by now if it was abacha regime. u shout democracy but u are actually crazy if u support this judges. i hate nigerians, i hate buhari stupid decision about our assets, i hate biafra, i hate everytin that is not right no matter where it is coming from, i hate unilag for suspending that student that said the truth. i hate ............

When will he arrest Buratai? As long as his corruption fight is not holistic. It's simply witch hunt.

leunseyis:
You guys that call urself Nigeria Youth, some of you acts and behave like a fool. Is this situation we r now caused by this present govt? No. If it were to remain with dull and mismanagement GEJ, am sorry our economy would av been totally collapsed. Boko Haram could av penetrated to eastern nd southern part of Nigeria. The main stay of Nigeria economy is Oil. Now d price of oil is down across d world, the step in Whc PMB has taken to for Subsidy Removal could not av taken place. Nigeria Youths let be reasonable and apply wisdom at all time, avoid sentiment and ignorance of happenings in our Country. God bless u all

Spare us your political sermon. A cursed person will always affect the economy negatively. The man is cursed and his leadership is not supported by God. That's quite simple so stop shifting blames to previous government which even this cursed entity was part of

[quote author=Realman87 post=50016062]Thanks to Afonjas' for taking Nigeria 20yrs backward. [/quo
It is themselves and their generation yet unborn they've taken 20 years backward. Bunch of short sighted retards that descended from the devil

Justiceleague1:
This is another northern agenda..just watch...they know how to capitalise on the sensibilities and ignorance of nigerians especially southerners and most especially the ever noisy barrels de la empty afonja...they paint up something that looks like 'truth' and strike and bring down their target(s) and carry out the agenda... Sanusi did same to the likes of perceived southern powerful bank CEOs like cecilia ibru and akingbola by painting them in bad light,'exposing' the bank operations which is commonplace in the banking industry...got them sacked,arrested,jailed...practically destroyed them..(SHAREHOLDERS NEVER COMPLAINED OF ANY ABNORMALITIES WHATSOVER)...and sold their banks away to mallams and other cronies..

The target here is the incoming CJN..SOUTHERN NIGERIA,BE WISE..STOP FIGHTING YOURSELVES LIKE YOU DO HERE. Nuff said o...

Oh boy it's too late, the North will continue ruling the southern Zombies till eternity since the Afonjas prefer slavery to freedom. As for the igbos, we don't give a Bleep we've already drawn our boundary lines

TPAND:
Our democracy is in a mess. This can never happen in a sane cline. The Legislative arm should call Buhari to order or impeach him.
Judgement is based on the evidences and petitions put forward by both the persecution and defense counsel.

Buhari needs to stop bastardizing our constitutional democracy. This is the height. Nigeria & rians Wake up! This is getting out of hand, Buhari is imposing himself as an autocratic leader on us. This has to stop

Good job Mr President. Nigerians has begun to reap the dividends of their hatred for the igbos. More Gestapo unfolding

Stelvin101:
My state has more than 400 hotels and it is not an achievement but rather nonsense. Stop celebrating stuupidity. It's not good for your health. Almost all the states in South and East can't boost of factories unlike the West, especially Lagos. Celebrate something meaningful next time. Not thrash

Dude, the problem with you Afonjas is that you don't travel. The day you decide to leave that your redmud brown roofed region for site seeing in Igbo land, is the day you will commit suicide because your hatred for igbo progress will not allow you to withstand the surprises you'd see in Igbo land

flokii:
They want to take SS by force without referendum which yorubas will never allow.. I'd prefer to see SS stand alone and flourish than see them re-colonized in this 21st century.
They will readily pick ND over Ebonyi.. lol

We are not forcing ourselves on anybody, we are confident in who we are ok, we don't need the SS to survive, we survived with 20 naira after the war yet the richest tribe in Nigeria now, we only want to take our brothers in ss no other is forced to join ok, I dare you to decide to leave Nigeria today, no one will fight to keep you because you are irrelevant, contribute nothing to the nation economically. You are just a pathetic parasite

vodutive:
I hate to be drawn into tribal debates but one thing must be said: Southern Nigeria is historically more educated and "supposedly" more exposed and enlightened than the North but what has it got to show for it? So isn't it about time southern Nigeria stopped the bickering and tribal animosity and realised that the disunity amongst the so called enlightened south has paved the way for domination by the so called North with the result that the development that was promised never materialised for the country.

The political equation of Nigeria is such that the North always dictates the agenda because the south is always divided. There was a time when Zik was a member of parliarment in the west but Whatever or whoever started this division, Awolowo or Zik, they are dead and they enjoyed a better Nigeria that many of your children can ever aspire to if we maintain the status quo and by the way I never heard of a descendant of Awolowo or Zik or Ojukwu who cannot afford to send his kids abroad or who dies because the hospital didn't have medicines or graduated and is wandering the streets unemployed.


If you like call each other Afonja or Wailer, it's your futures you are mortgaging, when the country scatters, you are the ones who will be stuck here, the children of the people whose fight you are carrying on your head either have foreign citizenship because they were born abroad or they have enough money to comfortably relocate if shit hits the fan.


Again I state disunity in Southern Nigeria is a major factor in our problems.....so keep it up and expect your lives will get better.


Most Nigerian elections will show that the North needs either the SW or SE to win but there has never been an election in Nigeria where the south voted as 1 and it lost. So think!!!!!

I will rather unite with the devil than to unite with an Afonjas. But one thing is sure, the blood of 3 million igbos that died in Biafra war as a result of Afonjas betrayal must be avenged. Today Nnamdi Kanu is peaceful but a radical will someday arise in Igbo and avenge the blood of the igbos killed in Biafra war on the Afonjas. It must surely happen

martineverest:
i dont even know y buhari is holding dem...dey dont contribute to national coffers and they make d loudest noices...even hausas are more usef to d economy than ibos

And what does your region contribute to the national coffers. Lazy pathetic creatures. I dare you that you people are irrelevant to Nigeria, any day you decide to leave Nigeria, the entire Nigerian population will vote for your immediate departure and celebrate that the region that's has been hindering the progress of the Nation has been pushed away, i bet you no war will be fought to keep you in Nigeria since you are irrelevant and parasites to the Nigerian economy

flokii:
Honestly, I feel these guys should be allowed to leave... They've become a pain in d ass of every tribe.

Despite d massive looting and corruption that favoured them over SS people, they still have d guts to complain.. As usual, they blame everyone else but them cos they are d best without blemish. GEJ must be regretting now sef.. lol

Your divide rule tactics has been exposed, try another style. Mr sophistication from a fallen angel, light and darkness have nothing in common, the day Nigeria realizes that you people descended from Satan and chase you away, is the day Nigeria will progress. But as long as you descendants of a fallen angel are still in Nigeria, there will never be progress in this Country since the devil cometh not but to steal, kill and destroy.

AfroKnight:
You can't satisfy these people. Even if you offer your life, they'll ask for your family. Even with the massive looting they enjoyed under GEJ, they are not content. Shameful.

Oh boy the names of the people that looted this Country to its knees were recently published by CNN, no Igbo man's name was there. So you should know who the original looters of this Country are, Obasonjo, Tinubu, Abiola, etc, hypocrites, you should tell your brother to return the national farm he stole and converted to his private business. That's why you are afraid to be on your own, bunch of parasites, leeches, bedbugs and lazy creatures.

danidee10:
So because he is an Elderly states man he cannot lie

I just hope you were joking with that statement....

Elderly statesman my foot, he should be ashamed that someone of his calibre cannot influence the government to fix those roads

solacesolutions:
Lol Guy you don kolo finish. I'm not guessing o !

That tribe does not require guessing, even people yet unborn know that tribe very well. The tribe whose descendants are not even humans but demons, no wonder characteristics of demons which is anti progress, jealousy and betrayal are in their blood. A leopard cannot change its skin. No region even trust them, they are only good to be used and dumped.

vislabraye:
. That's the fact.
He tried to be a nationalist. He tried to carry everyone alone. He did more for the North that's why Amaechi was fighting him. He didn't do much for his people.

Well done, no amount of smear campaign against GEJ will make the igbos to hate him. They ganged up against GEJ because they saw him as a pedestrian from which igbos will rise to an unimaginable height masking their hatred on corruption and cluelessness. We know you Afonjas very well, if our fathers pretended not to know, we the current igbo generations know you people for who you are which is anti igbo progress. Immediately Stella Odua made Enugu an International Airport, they began a wicked smear campaign against her with the allegations that she bought bullet proof cars. You people can only fool the gullible, there are highly intelligent igbo youth that are highly at alert

patriotic9jaboy:
And the Igbo's gave him all their support despite nothing to show in their region when he was in power. He scammed them with 2nd niger bridge on paper and sponsored Nnamdi kanu to open biafra radio as a plan B incase he loose the election. The earlier the east realizes that the SW is their best ally in the south, the better for them. GEJ simply used and dumped the east like a used handkerchief

You should be more concerned about your jagaban that the North has turned to disposable diapers. Igbos gained a lot from GEJ which was why you people that don't want to see the progress of the igbos teamed up with the North to vote him out and are reaping the rewards of your wicked in recession. Enugu international Airport is one of the things he did for the igbos ok, so take your kindergarten lectures to zombies like you

sarrki:
Pls cut it down

No need to reply

The irony of this man's government is that only the igbos he hates so much that can give this his delusional government a face lift. Just look at how this woman intelligently analyzed Bihari's efforts to lay man's understanding, what the Mr lie Mohammed couldn't do in two yesrs, this woman just did in two weeks. In 2 months time with this woman in charge of Bihari's media, both zombies and wailers will be saying sai Baba. Igbos are geniuses in their respective fields

The day an Igbo man becomes the president of this Country is the day Nigeria will tell the west to go to hell and be free from economic exploitations of the west. That's why the west are working so hard to make sure know igbo man becomes the president. Only igbos have the guts to resist Western influence, others are just pawns, stooges and pussies being used to underdevelop their Country. Bunch of political and economic saboteurs and bastards

engrchykae:
it's a pity that Mrs Kemi doesn't understand the northern president is pro West,keeping the country backward for every western economic interest is the destiny of the North.
I learnt today that Ghana through her state owned crude oil refining company named BOST is now exporting PMS to us while our three refineries at kaduna,Port Harcourt and warri cannot even deliver a daily PMS national consumption.
The reward of the North for keeping Nigeria backward is continued western support for political advantage,ask urselves why the same American wrote the biographies of armadu bello and Buhari.
it's either the south unite and take power away from the North or the entire south speak with one voice to disintegrate.

Definitely but Afonjas will always be obstacle to the South freedom. They believe that their destiny is tied to the North.
