Beautiful church.....

, I saw a history report that said Russia, turkey and Greece churches are older than the catholic church.

No

This piece by Rev. Fr. Kelvin Ugwu, will help clarify this

Who is Catholic, Who is Orthodox?: A Brotherly Correction to Pastor David Ogbueli

How do I begin to break down this history so that even a layman on the street can understand it?
Okay, let me start like this. . .
After the resurrection of Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost in AD 33, the early disciples began to meet to worship (read as 'breaking of bread'.)
The first place they started gathering was of course in JERUSALEM.
During the persecution of the early disciples as noted in Acts chapter 8, the disciples scattered, and wherever they found themselves, they founded a worshiping community.

ANTIOCH became one of those communities. Antioch is in present-day South-Central of Turkey.

CONSTANTINOPLE is also one of the communities. Constantinople is in present-day Istanbul in Turkey.

Also ALEXANDRIA in the north of Egypt.

And of course, ROME in Italy.

What this means is that there were five churches, or if you like, headquarters of the same Christian faith.
Now, this is important. These "headquarters" were founded by the apostles, none was regarded as being superior to the other. They all had equal status (or at least, it appeared so). This is why, instead of calling them branches or headquarters, the proper word will be patriarchates.
If you check your map, you will discover that four of these five patriarchates are located in the East (Jerusalem, Antioch, Constantinople, and Alexandria). It is only Rome that exists in the West.
Let me add this, almost every Christian as far back as that time recognized that Rome was particularly important (being the dominion of Peter the Apostle), Rome was famous too and large... but none of them felt that Rome should be supreme above all else due to this.
This is where you get the whole idea of the Western church and the Eastern church.
Anytime you hear the WESTERN Church, they are referring to Rome and all the churches that later began under Rome. Anytime you hear EASTERN church, they are referring to the other four churches aside from Rome.
More also, anytime you hear LATIN church, they are referring to Rome because the language then was Latin. Anytime you hear GREEK church, they are referring to the church in the east, because predominantly, they spoke Greek there.
So, the Western church is not a different church from the Eastern church. They were all the same church founded by Christ through his apostles. For sure, they all have their differences and uniqueness which is obviously due to culture, language and the likes. . .
All these churches (East or West) were referred to as CATHOLIC. The name was used around 100AD to mean UNIVERSAL. It was used in that sense to mean the global communion of all the churches.
Again, all these churches (East or West) were referred to as ORTHODOX. The name was used around 500 AD. Orthodox means "RIGHT TEACHING". The name developed as a response to some who started spreading controversial teachings on the person of Christ. By orthodoxy, the church was simply saying that she is the one that preserved the truth of the apostolic faith.
Also, all these churches (East or West) were referred to as APOSTOLIC. This is because, the church is founded on the Apostles and it holds and teaches the faith, as taught to the twelve apostles by Christ himself.
The summary is that the church is both Catholic, Orthodox, and Apostolic. The Eastern Church, the one you people call the Orthodox, still uses the Nicene and Apostles Creeds. And in those creeds, they recite words like, "I believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church."
So, it is totally wrong to say Orthodox Church came before the Catholic or Catholic Church came before the Orthodox. They never even had that distinction of Catholic versus Orthodox in the way we know it today until about 1054AD in what has come to be known today in history as the Great Schism.
The understanding of the great schism will help you see how both East and West differ and where they agree and why East and West still think of themselves as one catholic church and why the East has its own unique rite different from the West.

I see the Putin retards are still being treasonous to their continent.

Turning a blind eye to the atrocities of the Wagner group across Africa in its quest for resource theft..

Again my fellow Nigerians, be very aware that some monikers you see here are not average users like you and I but paid agents of propaganda who are paid to posts specific talking points of foreign interests.

Please research on what is called a troll farm. A large number of people employed to create accounts across several social media platforms and try and manipulate public opinions in favour of their pay masters.

BE VERY AWARE! RUSSIA IS NOT A FRIEND TO AFRICA. It's trying to compete with the other ruthless colonial powers. 2 sides of the same coin. Please resist them on our soil. Don't hail any!

Like I said, you have never been smart Stephen

What is USA interest rate and what is Russian interest rate

You have always been a big fool, looking for sawdust in USA eye with log in Russians eye. Russia just increased interest rate a full 1% from 7.5% to 8.5% and mumu like you is talking about USA interest rate of 5.25%

Why did Russia raise interest rate so steeply? This is because of runaway inflation and the collapsing ruble. I have given you the statement below directly from Russian central bank before you say it's Western propaganda. How can someone say they are fighting runaway inflation yet declaring low inflation if they are not cooking the stats?

It's like someone saying their house is not on fire, yet spraying water all over the house. Just like their false GDP figure which you are touting.

It's funny reading and beholding your squeal like the kid that you are, 'cause only kids throws tantrums on a faceless forum.

There is no runaway inflation in Russia. If there is, you would see it in the spending prowess of the people and the cost of basic neccesaries. The recent hike was more of an attempt to curtail the new EU measures taken against the Russian Central Bank assets. Stop fabricating nonsense.

FACT. The US is one of the world's worst most developed economic aberration whose debt is greater than its GDP.

FACT. The Federal reserve has raised interest rate for the 11th times since the sanction war against Russia began, compared to Russia's interest rate hike for the same period.

FACT. Russia has now officially become the largest economy in Europe (by PPP terms, which effectively dissipate your runaway inflation claims) despite being the most sanctioned country in the world (I guess they also cooked up that figure ). while some of those nations that placed the sanctions are now swimming in recession waters.

FACT. The collective West is being given the middle finger by newly inspired nations (including US traditional allies) from the Middle East to South-East Asia, to Latin America, and now in Africa, in favour of closer ties and aligment with Russia.

FACT. Russia is too big and two powerful to be tamed. Know this and know peace. Adieau.

This boy is really on cheap heroin.. calling someone foolish and all of that isn't gonna make you sound brilliant there either.. As a matter of fact, your life, everything that you are or hope to be is displayed right here going by all the inferior and wayward contributions you have always bring here.. To put you in perspective: Intellectually, you're very lazy; Morally, you're uncultured; Socially you share similar traits to giggy wild animals in the forest.. What else do you want to turn yourself into or become??

OK boy, see finishing. Just drop the mic

As for me a coup d'etat is not the best way to go and I'll never be in support of it, especially when it is a military coup d'etat.

Nigeria and ECOWAS should think this through before making any military move that will destabilize the region.

Yes there are justifiable reasons why this coup d'etat happened in the first place, they're tired of being exploited by their colonial master who don't want them to be free. but a military coup d'etat may appear good now because it is fighting for the interest of the people but in the foreseeable future when human rights are tampered with it wouldn't be funny.

But if the people of Niger support this who am i to decide for them.

From tonight: the French soldiers escape from Niger, and the locals mock them in line to the airport in the capital there: "Bye, bye".

France was frightened by the ultimatum it received from the coup government. The Americans also flee from there, in the worst defeat since their escape from Kabul, exactly two years ago.
In the case of Niger - the Russians enter.
