My fellow people of Nairaland! How long will our bloods be spilled before we have common sense. One thing is for sure.

1. Impact on India Before the British Empire stumbled on to the Indian shores, the region was the 2ndbiggest global economy. However, its growth rate stagnated to 0% during British colonialism. As Industrial Revolution revamped a Europe coming out of the medieval ages, the imperial power purposefully kept technological advancements at an arm’s length from the natives. Infrastructure and institutions build under the colonial rule prioritized the exploitation of resources rather than aid local development, disempowering the natives. The nefarious Indian famineswere all preventable, mostly occurring due to incompetent British management and the corrupt civil servants under her employ. In his inevitable frustration, the then Governor General of India stated about Winston Churchill:Winston’s grasp of India is as ghastly as that of George Washington about America. The British departed from India leaving it in tethers and smithereens, its border disputes unresolved, it’s institutions underdeveloped, it’s economy dependent and civil strife rife, as nascent founded nations were leftto pick up the pieces. Playing the divorced wife, British Empire drained India dry from its financial wealth, shipping it off to London. It purposefully withheld domestic investments to eliminate local competition, which would have conflicted with British commercial interests. In essence, British Empire crashed, burnt and plundered during its heydays, with its aftereffects still resonating half a century later. |
At its zenith, the British Empire was the largest empire to have ever exist in history, stretching nearly 13,012,000 sq. miles and governing a populace of 458-million people. The sun never sets on the British Empirewas attributed for a reason. Coming back to the charge-sheet on British Empire, its inept management and indifference to its colonial subjects is simply unparalleled. It distorted its colonies with boundary conflicts, failed to suppress civil strife, caused deliberate famines and siphoned off economic wealth, inter alia. It left behind a trail of ashes, burying nations in coffins before they gained independence. |
frikpus: ![]() you people are very funny. What are you trying to say? Have you forgotten that St. Stephen died prematurely? Please Read Ecclesiastics chapter 1 vs 2-"It is useless", says the Philosopher. "Life is Useless, all useless." |

Jozzy4: ![]() what sort of bible misinterpretation is this ![]() |
Jozzy4: ![]() bible reader i see you! John 10:30-"I and my Father are one." |
You are really Dumb ![]() Jesus put on garment why did you put on trouser. |
MichaelBukamzy: ![]() you no well at all. Just emerging what this people are spewing from their mouth. Anyway, Nigeria is a joke. |
oteneaaron:tikakakakakakaka. Bro, it is obvious that you are a liar. John 16:15-"All that my Father has is mine; that is why I said that the Spirit will take what I give Him and tell it to you." |
Ucheamani:they are not separate, for He and His Father are one(John 10:30) |
Ucheamani: ![]() you are funny. In the gospel according to St. John chapter 1:18-No One has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known. In chapter 5:19-So Jesus answered them,"I am telling you the truth:the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does." In chapter 10:36-"As for me, the Father chose me and sent me into the world. How, then, can you say that I blaspheme because I said that I am Son Of God?" bro, God have mercy on you. |
dudebuck:God have mercy. And you have forgotten the part which Our Lord Jesus Christ said,"I and my Father are one" |
dudebuck:God have mercy. And you have forgotten the part which Our Lord Jesus Christ said,"I and my Father are one". |
removetheturban:are you people in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan? No. Stop all this your long speech. In such places you people are not seen at all. Creature, try the terrorist Nations. |
True. See lemme make this known to you. The Atheists thought that we are in slavery not knowing that we are trying all our best to make the world a better place. All the commandments are all summed up with "Love you neighbour as you love yourself." |
horia:am just trying to tell you that JW are lookin for member. |
![]() bro, true talk. But, have you heard of Legion of Mary in Catholic Church? |
OtemAtum:that one na ur hand type am. Because i no see terabyte and so on in the Bible. ![]() |
OtemAtum:you are really confused. ![]() until u Know the purpose why Jesus came. |
OtemAtum:First John 2:15-16says, "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world." Yet John 3:16begins, "For God so loved the world. . . ." So, God loves the world, but we are not supposed to? Why the apparent contradiction? In the Bible, the termworldcan refer to the earth and physical universe ( Hebrews 1:2; John 13:1), but it most often refers to the humanistic system that is at odds with God ( Matthew 18:7; John 15:19; 1 John 4:5). When the Bible says that God loves the world, it is referring to the human beings who live here ( 1 John 4:9). And as His children, we are to love other people ( Romans 13:8; 1 John 4:7; 1 Peter 1:22). The parable of the Good Samaritanmakes it clear we cannot pick and choose whom to love ( Luke 10:30-37). When we are toldnotto love the world, the Bible is referring to the world's corrupt value system. Satan is the god of this world, and he has his own value system contrary to God's ( 2 Corinthians 4:4). First John 2:16details exactly what Satan's system promotes: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life. Every sin imaginable can be summed up in those three evils; envy, adultery, pride, lying, selfishness, and more spring from those three roots. The world is what we leave when we come to Christ. Isaiah 55:7says that coming to God involves a forsaking of our own ways and thoughts. John Bunyan, in his bookThe Pilgrim’s Progress, pictures the believer’s position as having “his eyes lift up to heaven,” holding “the best of books” in his hand, and standing with “the world as cast behind him” (p. 34). The world often applauds sin. Hollywood encourages us to envy sinners and to foolishly compare ourselves with the "beautiful people" (see Proverbs 23:17). Often the popularity of "stars" is due to their ability to stir in us dissatisfaction with our own lives. Advertisers prey on our natural tendency to love this world, and most marketing campaigns appeal in some way to the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, or the pride of life. Loving the world means being devoted to the world’s treasures, philosophies, and priorities. God tells His children to set their priorities according to His eternal value system. We are to “seek first” God’s kingdom and righteousness ( Matthew 6:33). No one can serve two masters ( Matthew 6:24), and we cannot be devoted to both God and the world at the same time. When we enter God's family through faith in Christ, God gives us the ability to exit the world's rat race ( 2 Corinthians 5:17). We become citizens of another kingdom ( Philippians 1:27, 3:20). Our desires turn heavenward, and we begin to store up eternal treasure ( Luke 12:33; Matthew 19:21; 1 Timothy 6:18-19). We realize that what is truly important is eternal, not temporal, and we stop loving the world. To continue to love the world the way unbelievers do will cripple our spiritual growth and render us fruitless for God's kingdom ( Matthew 3:8; Luke 6:43-45; John 15:1- . In John 12:25, Jesus took this thought a step further when He said, "Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life." Not loving the world extends to our own lives as well. Jesus said if we love anything more than Him, we are not worthy of Him ( Matthew 10:37-38).In general, the termworldin the Bible refers to the evil system controlled by Satan that leads us away from worship of God. John Calvin said, "The human heart is an idol factory." We can make idols out of anything. Any passionate desire of our hearts that is not put there by God for His glory can become an idol ( 1 Corinthians 10:31). Loving the world is idolatry ( 1 Corinthians 10:7, 14). So, while we are commanded to love thepeopleof the world, we are to be wary of anything that competes with God for our highest affections. OtemAtum:i hope you know what is Judaism and Christianity. |
OtemAtum: ![]() go and Read that Acts of Apostles 5 vs 1 to 11 again. In case, you want me to tell you more then you can go ahead and seek. |
OtemAtum:read it all. So that you will understand what Jesus mean by telling Peter to feed the sheep. |
Cyynthialove:my mind tells me that Islam is the anti-christ. |
OtemAtum:Jesus gave Peter a three-fold command to “feed my sheep” in John 21:15-17. Each time Jesus said, “Feed my sheep,” it was in response to Peter’s three- fold declaration of love for Jesus. The setting was one of the last of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances to His disciples on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus prepared a breakfast of fish and bread for them, and then commissioned Peter with the task of feeding His sheep and tending His lambs. The three commands, although often translated the same way, are subtly different. The first time Jesus says it, the Greek means literally “pasture (tend) the lambs” (v. 15). The Greek word for “pasture” is in the present tense, denoting a continual action of tending, feeding and caring for animals. Believers are referred to as sheep throughout Scripture. “For he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care” ( Psalm 95:7). Jesus is both our Good Shepherd ( John 10:11) and the Door of the sheepfold ( John 10:9). By describing His people as lambs, He is emphasizing their nature as immature and vulnerable and in need of tending and care. The second time, the literal meaning is “tend My sheep” (v. 16). In this exchange, Jesus was emphasizing tending the sheep in a supervisory capacity, not only feeding but ruling over them. This expresses the full scope of pastoral oversight, both in Peter’s future and in all those who would follow him in pastoral ministry. Peter follows Jesus’ example and repeats this same Greek wordpoimainoin his first pastoral letter to the elders of the churches of Asia Minor: “Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers” ( 1 Peter 5:2). The third time, the literal translation is “pasture (tend) the sheep” (v. 17). Here Jesus combines the different Greek words to make clear the job of the shepherd of the flock of God. They are to tend, care for, and provide spiritual food for God’s people, from the youngest lambs to the full-grown sheep, in continual action to nourish and care for their souls, bringing them into the fullness of spiritual maturity. The totality of the task set before Peter, and all shepherds, is made clear by Jesus’ three-fold command and the words He chooses. What is this food with which shepherds are to feed the flock of God? It is no other than the Word of God. Peter declares that Christians are to desire the pure spiritual milk of the Word so that by it, we can mature in our salvation ( 1 Peter 2:2). As early as the book of Deuteronomy, we see the Lord describing His Word as food for His people who live not by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from His mouth ( Deuteronomy 8:3). Jesus reiterates this thought in His temptation in the wilderness ( Matthew 4:4). The importance of the Word of God as food for our souls cannot be over-emphasized. Clearly, the job of the shepherds of God’s people is to provide them with the pure milk of the Word of God so they can move on to the meat and solid food of the spiritually mature ( Hebrews 5:12-14). Pastoral ministry should be primarily one of pastors feeding their people the Word of God. Only then can pastors declare, as Peter did, their love for the Lord Jesus. |
