APOPTOSIS:
But truly speaking and asking, has he ever healed anyone before.?
Let's just be sincere for once.
Because same Bible says that people would do more than Jesus did, yet we haven't seen these men raise a single person from the dead not to talk of overtaking Jesus.
Just asking but foot soldiers go vex as usual without approaching my doubts logically

Now, I don't really follow Eneche so I don't know what he's up to but not every single individual Christian is gonna have the exact same type of miracles or greater miracles profile than Jesus. And we do have many incidents of people doing the kind of miracles.

Now, I am gonna use a Western example cuz those are better documented than Nigeria. The New Testament Schoolar, Wes Huff was healed of paralysis like Jesus healed the paralytic man in the gospels.

Just stating because I know materialist foot soldiers go vex as usual keeping their axiomatic doubts against anything not materialistic.

Masterclass in lying with maps. You divide Ikwerre away from their ethnic compatriots and unite Ijaw together. If you divide Ijoid speakers as much as you divide Igboid speakers, you'll end up with Ikwerre the biggest in land area as they already are in population even in this joke of a map.

Truths9ja:
clueless wailer and manipulator, so tell me which tribe is governor Fubara. Fubara has disgraced you times without number, you are just ranting and wailing niii. Fubara is an ijaw man and prove that to the world. Ijaw tribe is the largest tribe in the niger delta

Ijaws that own half of rivers state.out of 23 local government ijaws own 11 completely and share one with Igbo(ikwere).
Ijaws are the majority in ss.they are in all the ss state except cross rivers.
The second tribe that owns ss are igbos but most dey deny they are not igbos.
Ijaws own 99 percent of bayelsa no other tribe is ss own such percentage of state.
Asawana. God bless the fourth largest tribe after Yorubad which are third, Hausa second and Igbos are the most populated tribe in Nigeria

No one is talking about all of South South, just Rivers. And while they do share local government numbers, Ikwerre has more people than Ijaw. in Rivers.

Barely useful people trying to make themselves feel big by demeaning someone more important than themselves. Usual Nigerian thug tactic, let us see what he would have said if Dangote was in the same room with him.

The measurement here doesn't exactly measure productivity just average pay (per hour worked). Now, one could treat average wages as the same thing as productivity but a country like Djibouti or Equatorial guinea with a small population but Oil in the case of Guinea or strategic location in the case of Djibouti will have high pay per hour worked, but the people there aren't producing any more goods or services than someone elsewhere.

Racoon:
Nigeria is missing. Sane countries are placing visa bans. You drug baron and certificate forging crook said nah statistics we go chop have grounded your country'economy, but nah IPOB be your obsession as par zombie they must do the thinking for. So you now see how stats affect the growth of a country economy?

Sadly in 2015, the leadership of the country was taken over by a character that was not only clueless about the economy, he also had no interest in fixing it and as a result of this the economy of the country plummeted for eight straight years under his rudderless leadership.

The country had another opportunity in 2023 when a new leader was elected. Sadly hopes were dashed when another questionable character was imposed on the country under very dubious circumstances as president. The notorious "nah statistics we go chop" CSU certificate forger.

The resultant effect is that the country's economy has continued to plummet as a result of the mismanagement of the country's resources and the rudderless economic policies of the administration. From top to bottom. Fear APC!

While there is certainly alot to criticize Tinubu and Buhari about, the economic down turn is not entirely their fault. Buhari had to experience oil prices drop and covid and the economy and corruption had so bleeped up Nigeria that dramatically reducing or ending subsidy was the only way to go. While certainly there were and we should have elected people that could handle it better, I highly doubt that say... Jonathan could as we were already protesting him during his 1st tenure as president.

uzomakester:
We are proud of who we are just the way Yorubas claim to come from mecca, some others from Benin, hausas from Iran, Edo people claim from Egypt, ijaws claim from Ghana , igbos are the Hebrews that God says in the scripture that he will scattered them among the heathens in other countries as recorded in the book of Ezekiel 36,19,however Ezekiel 36,23 God says he will sanctify his holy name in the among the heathens in the eyes of his ancient people ndi gboo this is why igbos are unique, an Igbo couple livi g in USA gave birth to a caucasian in 2019, this mystery sends a signal that igbos gave birth to those white people that claim isreal today as the holy name of God is being sanctified in the eyes of the igbos as revealed by the rabbanate court of isreal as the apple of God's eyes

Source for your claim of Igbos giving birth to a caucasian. Even if it happened, they were probably just mixed.

Igbos are not from Israel. And I don't know why you would want to unite with a cursed people like the Jews. You know the most religious Jews don't even think their curse of being landless is over right? which is part of the reason why the majority of Jews are not in Israel.

WizardOfNG:
Besides, why the attaché by force with Judaism? Do Igbos see any other Nigerian ethnic group, out of over 400, doing such or is it them alone doing something so fundamentally repellent, i.e begging for acceptance from others perhaps because they hate their colour and fellow blacks and want to associate forcefully with white people they worship and aspire to be?

The only way you can claim this if you are not aware of just 100 years ago history. Hell, even today you have that Fulani senator that claims Fulani are from Mesopotamia. In fact, Fulani, Hausa and Kanuri all claim Arabian origins and there's a whole book about Oduduwa being a black Arab. Muslim Schoolars in general claim that West Africans are Canaanite this is what Ahmadu(or was it Mohammed) Bello claimed he and learned Yoruba believed. Egharevba and Samuel claimed Edo and Yoruba are Egyptians.

Really, the only thing going on here is that among southern Nigerians who have been most impacted by the Afrocentrist movement, only Igbos have a large portion claiming non-African heritage and they're small. Estimates for the number of Igbo Jews range between 10 and 30 thousand out of a population in the 10s of millions.

Even here on NL, showing their inordinate love of white skin and the belief it is superior, it is Igbo who claim always they are superior because they have fairer skin than other Nigerians.

No they don't. And Igbo skin isn't fairer, you can find equally fair people in other tribes; this is just another Nigerian stereotype to attach to Igbos.

hammer567:
The Rabbinate noted the fact that rabbinic authorities during the Songhai Empires were aware of Israelites in Igboland, which leads to the logical conclusion that they treated Igbos as Israelites.

This is false. Songhai didn't even ever write about Igboland.

Oh, wait. Ur a different person.

This video isn't history, this is just a long winded insult and it is clear that the maker of the video and the commenters/followers of the channel know that this is just a long winded insult because they respond with rebuttals not with counter arguments, sources and other evidence but with insults like "shut up and learn your history… YOU ISOMA" and the commenters respond not with comments thinking of the historical implications of this fact but with "that will show them" type comments.

But I am glad that they put in the effort to make your long winded insult into a satirical history video because only idiots and actors in bad faith with treat this as actual history and the moment they start to parrot this claim, they can be duely ignored.

God, I like Tinubu. The amount of pain whe him de dish, maybe e go finally make Nigerians wake up.

World Bank offers Nigeria forex rate advice, as Tinubu eyes N200/Dollar rate[

April 23, 2023

The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to *bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.*

“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.

“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years, Tinubu stated.

https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/world-bank-offers-nigeria-forex-rate-advice-as-tinubu-eyes-n200-dollar-rate/?amp

Isn't high exchange rate good for export? I thought Nigeria's plan was to become an export economy?

zero8zero:
You mean the drug Lords in Anambra. So, it's Tinubu policies that brought bandits to kill farmers on the farms?, It is Tinubu's policies that shut all the borders?. zombidients, una need brain checks.

Tinubu is president, he can decide to open the border again but he didn't.

Since you can't find fault with Obi, you have to look for someone else Igbo to compare with Tinubu. But we are not voting for "Yoruba" or "Igbo" we are voting for Obi, for Tinubu for people not tribes. But go on, if you want to keep comparing Tinubu to people like Evans, go on. At least Igbos didn't bring out Evans to vote for but APC brought out a Yoruba Criminal to vote.

Anyways, power to the people and all that.

Rutherford2019:
I'm igbo but can never support Biafra in which any part of Niger Delta are included
I just one 5 South East states

No you're not. No Igbo will deny the Igbos outside of the 5 states.

Captain8:
hope you have accept your new biafta map?

This isn't a Map of Biafra, it is a map of Alaigbo. And yes, I am perfectly satisfied with Alaigbo alone getting independence from NG since they rest of you guys like Nigeria so much.

Yeah, thanks. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately we will have to ask for a bit more aid, for you to continue helping us in convincing ur rulership to let Alaigbo go.

Good for him. I just hope these non-Igbos will stop using Igbo names.

kayfra:
Yeah. I forgot about those ones. But they are western Igbos with Benin influence

Given the fact that Benin fell quickly to the Brits but this characteristic of continued resistance is seen among other Igbos. Aro for example, continued to resist in places like Ezza even after they lost the Anglo-Aro war and Nri was the last Kingdom in Nigeria to be taken over by the Brits.

kayfra:
. It also helps that Eri is from Igala, so they used religion as a tool to rule over Northern Igbos

I don't know why people like you must always overstretch their hand. The period of Igala dominance started in 1450, the period of Eri's arrival is estimated around 900.

This is like looking at an old man and calling him the son of an adolescent.

He believes he's above the judge? Someone that can free him or send him to be executed

We both know the Judge can't do that. The Judge can only do what the politicians backing them wants them to do.

Kelklein:
I hope the Nigerian Establishment knows what they are doing on this NK matter..

You can not continually to hold this man in incarceration perpetually.. it's against natural justice..

God forbids anything happens to him right now.. Nigeria won't recover from the aftermath, in the next 100 years..

I hope those concerned are listening..

Charge him or let him go..

Those in authority are lighting matchstick near a gunpowder.. and the result might consume us all..

A word is enough for the wise

I mean, is it not Sultan of Sokoto that said Nigeria is on gunpowder, sooner or later something like light it.

God1000:
He's the most clueless President in US history, it will take time for America to recover from the damage the lunatic is inflicting

Ur saying it as if the "damage" he'll inflict will be a bad thing. The American citizens are tired of their Empire so is the rest of the world, if Trump will damage it beyond repair that is good.

helinues:
Bro, this people themselves are aware the Ebonyi issue is communal clash which have been going on for decades. It's almost same thing going on in Benue state.

The communities who have issue with each other's always employ the herdsmen or rogue soldiers to do the attacking without showing face.

I have been following this particular communal clash in Ebonyi for years now. .

Let the communities involved settle their differences without pointing wrong fingers

Okay, if you have been following this for years and it is just communal clash, link to his previous news of this community having clashes with other Ebonyi state communities.

But I know you won't see it because we all know u are just lying.

OneEyedSnake:
This is the real Map of Biafra .

The colonial anthropologist map depicting areas of cannibalism in Nigeria are coincident with the five current Igbo states of the SE.

Even the igboid speaking people of the Niger Delta never practiced cannibalism.

Asaba which is just a canoe ride across the Niger river from Onitsha did not practice cannibalism. So also the Igboid people of Rivers.

So why is this an exclusive Igbo culinary habit to feast on human flesh?

In the following posts I will be highlighting how an acute famine brought about by incessant communal warring between Igbo peoples , slave raiding by Igbo slave raiding groups like Arochukwu cult on fellow Igbos saw to a total breakdown on civility , law and order that made even farming an upheaval task .

For your map to include all of South Eastern Nigeria as Cannibals, it'll have to include Ijaw country and Grafi country as well. Okay, are you willing to ask your government to give the Cannibal land of Biafra independence?. Won't you prefer it not to be in the same country with Cannibals?.

And why are you calling Delta Igbo Igboid instead of Igbo?. Don't you trust colonial maps and their designations? Colonial maps also called them Igbo so since you're willing to believe them blindly, why make an exception and refuse to believe the white people for what consistutes an Igbo?.

Asking this for a writing/mapping project but from what I have been able to Gather, the Nigerian Yoruba language has developed its own variants for some Christian theological terms, specifically Serafu for Seraphim and Kerubu for Cherubim. So I decided to start the ask here.

A Coptic Christian is "ግብጸዌ", or "Gibitsewi" in Medieval Amharic from the Bohairic dialect of Coptic's "ⲁⲓⲅⲩⲡⲧⲓⲟⲛ" or "aiguption" which a Coptic pronunciation of Ancient Greek term for Egypt, "Aegyptus".

An Ethnic Copt on the other hand is called "ⲛⲓⲣⲉⲙⲛ̀ⲭⲏⲙⲓ" romanized "niremənkhēmi"(from the Ancient Egyptian Ethnonym) however Muslims(So Arabs around them) and non-Coptic Christians (at least until before the modern era) used the term Copt to refer specifically to Egyptian Christians. This is why the English term is an ethno-nym.

And it goes like this, "Copt" in English from "Qibt"/"Qubt" in Arabic from the Sahidic dialect of Coptic's "ⲕⲩⲡⲧⲁⲓⲟⲛ" or "kuptaion" again, froma Coptic pronunciation of Ancient Greek term for Egypt, "Aegyptus".

So if a Nigerian language of your choosing were to develop its own term for Coptic Christian like Amharic did, what would you construct it to be?

--

Now that's my asking about Coptic Christians, the Egypt one is that, you hear from time to time from Black people(I have read a post specifically written by a Fulani) that their people trace their origin to Egypt, some even claim from Canaan or Mesopotamia but ignoring the later two, one would assume that as such, they would have a native term for Egypt independent of the European languages words for Egypt. Whether you personally believe in those claims or not, doesn't matter to me but what term to you think a Nigerian group that traces its origin to Ancient Egypt, would call Ancient Egypt, whether it is a term you heard or one that like with what I request from the above section, constructed yourself.

The colonial, apartied state of Isn'treal must be destroyed.

MaxInDHouse:
Witches are humans that have allowed themselves to be possessed by demons due to their quest for supernatural powers.
So most of them have a sound reason to have joined the coven since they may be helpless or oppressed and they don't know how to protect or avenge for themselves they concluded to go for witchcraft.

Jesus' sermon on the mount will help sincere and honest hearted individuals to know that God did not just sit back watching all the evil man is doing to his neighbour that's why he told his listeners that they should hope in God's kingdom when God will repay all evildoers instead of seeking for means to revenge. Matthew 5:3-12

So as true Christians Jehovah's Witnesses teach anyone who comes into our midst all that Jesus has commanded {Matthew 28:19-20} as we have interchange of encouragement during our meetings {Hebrews 10:24-25} and many not only witches or wizards but thieves, hired Killers, homosexuals, prostitutes, drunkards and many more are fighting really hard to put away the old personality {Ephesians 4:22} and put on the new {Ephesians 4:24} as their mentality is trained {Ephesians 4:23} with God's word {Hebrews 4:12} and through fervent prayers {James 5:14-15} many have overcome all these traits {1Corinthians 6:11} while others are still working towards breaking free from certain traits of the old personality {Romans 7:15-20} but we have an helper who is ever ready to support us if we are genuinely willing to strip off the old personality! Romans 7:25

So Witchcraft is just one out of the many works of the flesh {Galatians 5:19-21} that true Christians must beg God for His Holy Spirit to help us strip off as we continue in washing our robes in the blood of the lamb! Revelations 7:14

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

I am not saying they don't exist.(not yet anyway).

I am saying it was never a major priority for Christians. There's literally only one and an OT verse referring directly to dealing with witches. It isn't important.

Stupid people making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Jesus loves everyone has been doctrine since forever.

God loves people as we are. So he's telling them God loves us naturally as he make us, not as Plastic surgeons make us.

Simple as but some people can't recognize being suptle.

Kobojunkiee:
OP, all this is unnecessary. Jesus Christ is the standard by which Christians claim to live by yet He never condemned any witches during His mission on earth. That is all you really to say on the issue.

I think it is still important to bring up against the sub-group Pentecostals that think being more obsessed with witchcraft and spending every free time praying against witchcraft makes them more Christian.

When such an extent of obsession with defense from witchcraft resembles more documentation of pre-colonial idol worshippers than it does the saints of the churches.

It is a well known fact that when Charlemagne conquered the Pagan Saxons, one of the laws he implimented was one making most witchcraft accusations punishable by death.

While Christian Irish Law anatamized Christians for a similar offense and associated belief in Witchcraft with Paganism.

The Lombard code of 643 states: Let nobody presume to kill a foreign serving maid or female servant as a witch, for it is not possible, nor ought to be believed by Christian minds.

https://www.philippagregory.com/news/origins-of-witch-hunting

And Augustine of Hippo (in the province of Africa) is famously paraphrased as saying "the church has no reason to seek out witches for their power doesn't exist".

Now, it isn't like he nor the Church in general didn't believe in any malevolent supernatural, certainly they believed in the devil as an example of such, but that's different from thinking every issue is witchcraft/spiritual like most of the "very religious" Nigerian Christians seem to think.

http://canepancakegravy..com/2012/08/saint-augustine-of-hippo-on-witchcraft.html?m=1

This is a trend kept through the early modern era with most of the famous witch trials of the early modern era associated with the largely Protestant German area where official church men lost influence. While to this day, all apostolic churches maintain a general skepticism of witchcraft.

https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15674a.htm

On the other hand, belief in witchcraft is frequently associated with Pagan religions, including African traditional religions.

Mary H. Kingsley in her travels in West Africa says that the Africans of the Atlantic coast blames all misfortune on witchcraft and from the same book as I got the Irish quote, we see a frequent association of African folk religions with belief in witchcraft, with the Jukun specifically associating untimely death with witchcraft, much like Kingsley said of Atlantic African peoples in general. The Tiv are also said to give the chieftaincy with the ability to be proficient in what a Westerner or Christian must consider witchcraft.

Now, the book is written by a Jukun person so someone can't start claiming Western lens and a lot of African literature also espouses superstition and fear of witches, a notable example is of Yoruba men joining secret societies called Gelede to protect themselves from *aje*, witch means witch in the Yoruba language and in Ubulu-Ụkwụ, the locals believe that witchcraft is the source cause of misfortune and premature death, as well as the belief in witches eating human beings.

Paul Glen Grant also documents in "Healing and Power in Ghana: Early Indigenous Expressions of Christianity" the earliest Ghanian converts to Christianity did so as they concluded that the religion could combat witchcraft sent against them, better than their witchcraft could. Thus, we see how this obsession with witchcraft transitioned seamlessly to Christian African society from Traditional one.

To some extent they are almost the same question.

To be equal to God means to have the highest position, which would philosophically man having the same sort of attributes attributed to God and thus making one God, equalizing it to the question of if one is God.

Anyways, Jesus as the Son, is below the Father but Jesus is God.

Simple as.
