Because that's the reason He came in the first place.
The wages of sin is death.thats Gods prescription.inorder to reconcile man with God.He came and took the side of man on the cross.

Lol. You are funny.

ichuka:
wrong

So why was he killed by the romans?

These arguments are very important, they have liberated a lot of minds here on Nairaland. Many people read these arguments and make decision mainly based on the folly of religious people. It actually make people do more research and read more extensively on the history and evolution of religion. I am confidence that these religious argument turn more people to atheists more than anything else. Brother, keep up the good work!

Anything about the number of rape victims?

Laurene:
now comprehension is your problem. Even if America was involved, the war was not theirs. It was due to bad decisions by the then president of which he paid dearly for. Pressure from home was high he had to withdraw the foot soldiers. Same scenario played out in Mogadishu when the US wanted to capture Mohammed Farrah aidid, go and watch black hawk down.

slowpoke, aside the US civil war, which of the wars is America’s and which is not made in bad decisions?

BTW how did this change the fact that the US list the Vietnam war?

Chrisbeks:
They've been flying into Iranian airspace for long and Iran didn't do shiit! Go and check the news on the day the iraniand brought down the us drone, the Iranians confirmed that there was another US manned aircraft in their air space but they didn't attack it.

This was why it wasn’t shot down:

The air commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier Gen Amir Ali Hajizadeh, said that the US was warned twice about the infringement, the last time at 3.55am.
“When it did not redirect its route and continued flying toward and into our territory, we had to shoot it at 4.05am,” the general told the Iranian state broadcaster. “Our national security is a red line.”

The IRGC claims there was a second US aircraft in the same area of sky in the early hours of Thursday morning, a P-8 spy plane, with 35 people onboard, shadowing the Global Hawk. The Iranians say they refrained from shooting the P8 after it heeded warnings and moved away from the Iranian coast. The US has not commented on that claim.

Laurene:
you have not of allies? they help each other in times of tribulation. the US withdrew their foot soldiers due to the pressure from home owing to the war was not theirs. instead they used airstrikes on them and were actually inflicting serious injury on them until an agreement was reached. go and read well the US involvement in the Vietnam war. so are you telling me that Vietnam would have defeated the US if the war was directly against the US? So they didn't RAN away, they only used diplomacy.

I don’t understand what history book you are reading. The US was directly involve in the war for about 8 years. Close to 60,000 US military men died in the war and more than 350,000 US soldiers were injured. More US soldiers died in Vietnam war than the whole casualties of Bokoharam (including Boko haram insurgents, all civilians, all soldiers (Nigeriens, Nigerians, Cameroonians etc), and other nationalities put together). How much more can you be involved.

Chrisbeks:
US military capability has developed a thousand times better than it was during the Viet nam war. Don't compare those times to now. And what did you expect US to do to Iran for bringing down a drone? Bomb them? It was just a drone. If the Iranian so much believe in themselves, let them bring down one US manned aircraft or fire on the numerous US warships that are in the Persian gulf and see if they are not reduced to rubble. They won't try it though, they know the consequences of that

Let US manned drone fly into the Iranian airspace, that’s the only way to know the answer.

Laurene:
they didn't RAN away according to you instead they withdrew their soldiers since it was not their war. USA was actually winning them through air strikes and bombings until a the Vietnams started crying foul. so you expect the USA to continue fighting a war that doesn't any way affect them?

Why did they go there in the first place, if it was not their war? They actually RAN away when they realised they could never win the war.

Chrisbeks:
You are not just sounding ignorant, you are also illiterate and can't comprehend simple English. Firstly, I said the US have the military capability to wipe Iran off the face of the earth, does that mean they will do it? Most likely not but do they have the military capability to do it? Absolutely yes!! I mean all they need to do is drop a nuclear warhead on every Iranian city and Iran is gone. And secondly, I didn't say no harm will befall the US, I said it will be minor. What can Iran do to the US apart from the US losing some soldiers and military hardware? The fact is that The US will crush Iran in a matter of weeks and the battle won't even be close

If you read about the Vietnam war, you will know that it’s not that easy my brother. In the course of the war, close to 60,000 US soldiers died with more that 350,000 injured. At a point they realised that there is no way they can win the war so they RAN away. The effect of that war is still been felt in the US today.

Iran is a difficult case, they recently shot down a US drone recently, the US did nothing.

Jeez! How can someone be this stup.id? Wole Soyinka was right, this generation of Nigerians are a breed of ignorant senseless internet degenerates

All this long story for a RAPIST?

Are you a comedian?

You lied!

President Donald Trump’s decision to allow U.S. companies to continue selling to Huawei followed an extensive lobbying campaign by the U.S. semiconductor industry that argued the ban could hurt America’s economic and national security.

In multiple high-level meetings and a letter to the Commerce Department, the companies argued for targeted action against Huawei Technologies Co. instead of the blanket ban the Trump administration imposed in May. That includes identifying specific technologies that the Chinese company shouldn’t be given access to, while allowing U.S. firms to supply the rest.

The Semiconductor Industry Association, or SIA, a trade group that represents companies like Intel Corp., Broadcom Corp. and Qualcomm Inc., told the Trump administration that its sanctions against the Chinese company will make them appear to be unreliable partners, which will put them at a severe disadvantage globally.

Representatives of chipmakers last month met with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to argue that the decision to place the company on a so-called entity list could hurt the country, people familiar with the meeting said.

In the letter seen by Bloomberg News, SIA said that the action risked cutting off its members from their largest market and hurting their ability to invest. At the same time, Huawei would in many cases be able to get components elsewhere, they argued.

“Overly broad restrictions that not only constrain the ability of U.S. semiconductor companies to conduct business around the world, but also casts U.S. companies as risky and undependable, puts at risk the success of this industry, which in turn impacts our national security,” the group wrote last month. They added that the administration should take into account those factors when evaluating license applications from American firms.

Their talking points seem to have found their way to Trump. After concluding a high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Osaka on Saturday, the U.S. president said American firms weren’t pleased with his Huawei policy and announced that he has agreed to let them keep shipping some of their components and technology.

“I’ve agreed -- and pretty easily -- I’ve agreed to allow them to continue to sell that product so American companies will continue,” the president said during a press conference. “The companies were not exactly happy that they couldn’t sell because they had nothing to do with whatever was potentially happening with respect to Huawei. So I did do that.”

He later clarified he will only allow them to sell “equipment where there is no great national emergency problem with it,” without offering more details. Trump’s comments stoked confusion among industry and analysts and the White House has not yet announced specifics on the path forward for U.S. companies doing business with Huawei.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Tuesday said Huawei’s involvement in 5G networks remains a "national security concern” but the sale of a “small amount of low-level chips” isn’t a “bad thing” if it persuades China to return to trade negotiations.

"5G is huge, selling a few chips to Huawei is not,” Navarro said in an interview on CNBC.

The Trade War Is Exposing What Little U.S. Tech China Still Needs

While China hawks in Congress and Trump’s administration feared a potential reversal of the export ban, U.S. industry has been pushing the White House to ease restrictions that require American firms to get a U.S. government license in order to sell to the Chinese tech giant.

A spokesman for SIA said the group has “consistently urged the administration to advance U.S. semiconductor leadership as it works to preserve national security, and we’re encouraged by the direction the president set in Osaka.”

A Commerce spokesman said companies can submit license applications explaining the importance of exports on their business relationship. When a case is made for license approval based on concrete and supportable facts, decisions on those licenses are made. When data is absent, Commerce is unable to act, the spokesman said.

Chipmakers have been placed in a tough spot by the trade dispute and security-related action against Huawei. China is their biggest market, providing about a third of revenue. They’re arguing that not all exports to Huawei and its affiliates pose a security risk and that much of what’s sold there is easily replaceable with non-U.S. products. Given the massive cost of research and development for chips, continuing to miss out on revenue could hurt their competitiveness.

Their concerns were stoked by China’s response to Trump’s Huawei ban. In May, Beijing threatened to compile a list targeting companies that it says are not dependable suppliers. American firms were also spooked when Chinese government officials called them in for meetings and threatened to add them to the list if they don’t make sure the U.S. eases up on its ban, people briefed on the meetings said.

The chip industry’s proposed solution is to ask for a narrower set of restrictions, according to people involved in the negotiations with U.S. government representatives. They argued that there are choke points -- crucial pieces of technology, that if withheld could slow down Huawei without totally crippling it. In many cases, providing chips without the engineering support and software needed to integrate them in devices is enough, the people said.

Micron, Intel
In the letter the SIA highlighted several areas that don’t warrant a blanket ban. The memory chip industry is dominated by Korean makers with a 68% market share of the commodity products. That means if Micron Technology Inc., Intel and Western Digital Corp. are excluded from China, they will directly lose market share, the group argued.

In analog chips, simpler components that convert things like sound and radio waves into digital signals, the U.S. owns 65% of the market. European and Japanese companies have ‘viable substitutes’ that Chinese customers could use. And even in logic chips, where companies such as Intel and Qualcomm have won the U.S. a 69% stranglehold, Huawei’s own HiSilicon chip unit is among a list of alternative providers that could offer replacements for crucial components of smartphones, computers and networking gear.

National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said Sunday that the granting of licenses only applies to general merchandise. “Anything to do with national security concerns will not receive a new license from the Commerce Department. I think that’s very important.”

Still, the Trump administration’s end goal remains unclear. Trump said he will only make a decision on what to do about Huawei when trade talks are in the final stages. “We’ll have to save that until the very end,” he said.

Dude, screenshot ur bike , make we see

I no get self esteem issues my brother

Na so poverty full Nigeria? Jeep Wrangler for that matter.

GMbuharii:
Get behind me,you demonic thing. To hell with you and whatever bushhht you are spewing.


4kn shhhhtl putting words in my mouth!!!!

SoaringLife01:
We are in the same train....but let's wait for the court of law to pronouce him guilty....both parties should come with their evidence/supporting claims.
Rape victims should SPEAK UP immediately after the act so the perpetuators will be brought to book.

The stigma attached to been raped makes it a lot difficult for raped victim to speak out. That USA gymnastic coach that was sent to prison recently for molestation has committed some of the crime since 1992 but the victims just summon courage to speak out in 2017-18.

It’s is even more difficult in Nigeria with this our attitude. It’s highly possible that your close family members have experience molestation/rape one way or the other and are just afraid to speak out. We need to encourage people by our actions and show of love for them when they show that courage and not demean them.

GMbuharii:
That is if I am happy that she was raped.
But if I am not,then may your curse return back to you and you alone.

No one cares if you happy or not. As long as you are trying to suppress the voice of a rape victim you are an enabler of evil deeds.

BTW: If you insist that Busola was not raped, that’s not a curse. Why are you afraid of the prayer?

Martinez39:
Evidence begins when you meet the authorities, let them investigate and produce, if any, exhibits. Social media validation is not evidence.

Pastor Fatoyinbo is innocent until proven guilty. Either there is evidence or not. What evidence do you have to call Pastor Fatoyinbo a rapist?

Why use the word "when"? How cruel. If my daughter was raped, I would take her to police to file a complaint and file a law suit instead of coming to social media and seek validation.

When they get raped please ask for evidence from them first. Victims speak out when there is a rape allegation, that is how it is done every part of the world.

Do you think if these girls did not speak out in public, do you think they will get justice? When you try to discredit the victims report, you become an enabler. Stop enabling a rapist!

Martinez39:
How do you know he is a rapist? Do you have evidence? Where you there?

Where did you see me support rape and rapist? I have always maintained a neutral ground and championed due process.

Yes, that is what we are campaigning for, due process to be followed. People like you feel she shouldn’t speak out about the rape. How will she get justice if other people don’t support her? When Larry was accused of molestation, the first thing his employer did was to suspend him pending investigation. That’s who it show be done. By now I expect the police to have arrested him and begin investigation on his rape allegations. He shouldn’t be in the church preach to people. Biodun himself and people around him know that he is a rapist.

Nukilia:
Lessons learned at a later stage in life... Pastor Biodun will bounce back to become a more humble preacher and a vibrant tool in Gods hands.
Though he falls seven times, he will definitely rise again. ..
I am interested in the rise...

After returning from jail abi? Awon omo ale rapist

Martinez39:
Are you alright? This is just her story, where is the evidence? Are you oblivious of the marvels of human deceptions and wickedness? Is dem say dem say, I hear I hear evidence? Where is your evidence?

The only wicked person I see here is the rapist and people like you enabling it. May your all children both male and female in their prime pass through what Busola passed through from Biodun-the-rapist. May they experience the bitter aftermath of what she went through after the rape, and may that follow them for the rest of their lives. IJN

Martinez39:
Are you alright? This is just her story, where is the evidence? Are you oblivious of the marvels of human deceptions and wickedness? Is dem say dem say, I hear I hear evidence? Where is your evidence?

Evidence begins when the victim gets enough confidence to comes out and open up about their ordeal. You can see she is not scared to name prominent people in the church who were aware of the incident then.

Just like Larry Nassar went to jail for molestation, Biodun-the-rapist days are coming to an end. Check out the evidence they used to nail Larry Nassar. When this happens to your daughter, I hope you will ask for evidence from her.

Martinez39:
Did I arrest and accuse Evans? Did they catch him red handed with evidence and no legitimate source of income? False equivalence. How do you know Fatoyinbo is a rapist? Where you there?

"My brother's name is Tunde, he was very mad and told Fatoyinbo, I am going to stab you and kill you, what did you do to her?

"He (Fatoyinbo) started begging saying I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me was just the devil. At that time someone was around, a minister Wole, He is the pastor of the Port Harcourt branch now. Then he wasn't a pastor, he was a minister in church like prayer minister so he said we should all go to my house.

"My brother and I went back home and then they came to our house and called another minister. He (Fatoyinbo) started begging saying he didn't know what came over him, I just stood there and couldn't say anything.

"Meanwhile the minister who was Wole Soetan and another minister Flow (Folarin Ogunsola) who is my second cousin. They talked and begged me but I wasn't listening to anything they were saying because all that was on my mind is that I cannot get back my virginity because it's been done and the way I think right now, you don't know my state"



Fatoyinbo is a rapist, I pray to God almighty to be brought to justice. We will see how far they are willing to go to cover this up. We are watching.

BTW: You did not arrest Evan, the government did and they will do the same to the rapist. Just like Evan-the-kidnapper in prison, Biodun-the-rapist is an accused.

Martinez39:
Rapist? How do you know he is a rapist?

Evans is in prison, how do you know he is a kidnapper?
