And that's exactly where the division comes in. OPEC doesn't have a strong alliance like that to come to agreement to cut production. Some countries, like Nigeria rely heavily on oil that cutting production will only hamper their finances. Nigeria currently has a budget deficit of about 12 trillion or so, you think a country like Nigeria will agree to cut prices? I seriously don't think so
most countries in OPEC are not even meeting up with the output quota slotted to them ,even Nigeria not until December 2024 they have not been meeting up with what is alloted to them. So it's the few countries that have the capacity to produce more that are running the show like Saudi Arabia and Russia few years back agreed to cut production and it affected the market price .

And again a country like Nigeria will want oil prices to be hight,they will definitely cooperate because the key players can actually crash the price to a point where these followers can not make profit

Yes, Nigeria will want to. It is more a question of tenacity. For How long can Nigeria cope with low prices when over 50% of revenue is used to service debts.
There are obligations to be met.

I feel like with this Trump tariffs even against traditional US allies and partners that the POTUS is indirectly promoting BRICS.

No, Christianity did not originate in Europe, but rather in the Near East, with its roots in Judea, the region where Jesus lived and taught.

Both religions are from the East

And yes Christianity has been reformed in many ways.

Such reforms are nearly impossible in Islam, the new generation are trying though, you can see what MBS is doing in Saudi and you can see UAE getting a lot of tourist after a few reforms.
However, the hardliners or fanatics won't sit back and watch this reforms happen.
Somehow he failed to understand that Islam,Christianity, Judaism are all Abrahamic religions.

I agree with you here. Just like those terrorist that murdered Deborah in Sokoto. Why not allow the the gods to fight for himself? No reasonable country will give such freedom to these believers.
That's what I still don't understand about them. When you insult their religion, they ignore the existence of the hereafter and start spilling blood but when their government destroys their today and tomorrow, they remember judgment day and even tell themselves that protesting is Haram.

.. Things like homosexuals, incest, genocides, rape, talking snakes and donkeys all happened in that story book called Bible.

Dem say, Adam and Eve na the first people wey god create. They gave birth to Cain, Abel Seth & others. So Cain marry his sister na?
Have you seen where a snake was talking to a human being? Is that even possible.
The same god murdered innocent Egyptians because he(god) hardened Pharaohs heart. That is genocide.

Whether Christians or Muslims, they're all the same. The only difference is that Christianity has passed different stages of Reform thus putting real effort to aligned their teachings with 21st century ideals and values.

Islam came from the Arabs.
Christianity from Europe.

I love how the Chinese abandoned the two religion. They're promoting their indigenous traditional institutions like Confucius & others. All of them traditional religious institutions in China are preaching hardwork, punctuality, education, diligence, unity, loyalty to the state, obedience to your parents.
that's y they are prospering, look at India with their population compare them with China.
Religion is how u control the masses

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:256): "There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong." This verse emphasizes freedom of belief and rejects forced conversion, advocating for respect for different faiths.


The Prophet (SAW) spoke about the equality of all human beings, regardless of their race, color, language or traditional background. Clear elicitation of tolerance is expressed from the verse of Quran for the Muslims that is: “For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.” (Quran 109: 6)
I think most of the problem comes from certain hadiths like those that call for the death of people for blasphemy, those that call for the killing of apostates, etc. If you ask me, killing someone for leaving Islam contradicts the surah that you just quoted.

The Bible also does not support protest against the government. Holding your leaders accountable is against Christian ideology according to the book of Romans. That's to tell you that religion is a man-made institution to control the masses.

Before seconding such, why don't you condemn the so-called "Christian" nations destroying the so-called "Muslim" ones?

You cut down an old tree outside your house for no reason and then you're complaining of having lizards in your house?

Why didn't you leave the lizards to live in their tree in peace? Arabs and middle easterners do not want to be the Sweden either.
This is a fair opinion. These white gangsters have bombed more innocent people than all Muslim terrorists combined, so they deserve all the extremists they get. Sweden pretended to be against the Iraq war but they ended up assisting USA in their terror campaign

The kings of the middle east owe the creation of their positions to England and France and they owe their continued stay on the thrones to the USA military.

Qaddafi said this very well in an Arab league meeting. These aren't sovereign nor indigenous governments but creations by outsiders with a religious wrapping to give them legitimacy.

Middle eastern monarchies are like Nigerian democracy (and some Nigerian monarchies, not all): foreign products.

But the only people worse in history than Nigerians are the Arabs (though it can be argued that the blue eyed blond Europeans who claim their ancestors were from Palestine are worse in history than Nigerians and Arabs).

Oga try they read with understanding this passage is talking about two things.

One, the passage is talking about God's Supreme sovereignty over the earth. as all Governments under the earth came to power because he willed it.

And secondly the passage also made emphasis on obeying Authorities.. Jesus himself obey the authorities in his day, by paying his taxes.

The passage says obey those in Authorities. It never said anything about not holding those in authorities accountable, you don't need to be a religious person to hold leaders accountable.
The people of Israel held Moses accountable when they were faced with the red sea.

Different people from different religion have been holding their governments accountable since time in memorial. Christians inclusive..

P.S. You don't have to protest in the streets and be causing public disturbance and endangering peoples lives to hold leaders accountable.

Yes, in the past, the Roman Catholic Church, particularly during the period of the Inquisition, did execute individuals deemed apostates, heretics, or those accused of witchcraft, although the extent and nature of these actions are complex and subject to historical debate.

"

Like Okpa said earlier, Christianity has undergone a lot of reforms.

These reforms are going to be very difficult in Islam due to fanaticism.

And yet they chose to be more faithful with the commandments which tells them to kill the people of other faiths. They walk about brandishing assault rifles and shouting "Allah Akbar"😂😂

You dey always like to carry your quarrel with person enter discussion. Very bad attitude.
Leave that meme-coin-tapping thief for me. I will handle him when I am ready. He is just pained and hurt. And why shouldn’t he be? I have repeatedly exposed him here as a fraud. I also revealed that he didn’t go to law school and was most likely expelled from school for theft.

And let us not target that time the self-acclaimed bright bulb mistakenly revealed the fact that he stole after thinking I was about to expose him grin Let him continue moving mad. His pain comes and goes. But when I enter him again, he will calm down.

I can't blame religion alone for fanaticism. In the case of Nigeria, "ethnic" bigotry, fake "history" and politics are also causing fanaticism. Let's not forget greed as well.

Proper education is the best cure against fanaticism.

Zionism is a form of fanaticism.
