AntiChristian:
You only read one Genesis 1:26, why don't you read the next verse and understand your scripture. You always read verses in isolation and use your Trinitarian bias to misinterpreted them. The use of "us" is not plural as the next verse showed God is one by the use of "he"! The plural is for respect!

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

So was man created in the father's image or in the son's image or in the spirit's image?

AntiChristian:
You are simply forcing your Trinitarian bias on the Bible. Jesus was forced to be God.

Jesus clearly had a God he was praying to. Does a God pray to another God?

Was Jesus praying to himself?

Mention the Prophets who believed in the trinity before Jesus and the verses that proves so?

Several times I've told you:
THERE IS NO HUMAN EQUIVALENT TO THE NATURE OF GOD!!! There is NO WAY you can explain it in terms of our extremely limited three-dimensional, time-and-space-constrained human perspective. Even the verses you quoted demonstrate that: he's at same time plural and singular! If God is explained to you as straight forward and quite uncomplicated, you can be sure that's the farthest from how he really is. Moslems do that, then have Allah praying for humanity! Even Trinity is a very approximate way of trying to put it. The words of Christ himself starts to convey the complexity of the relationship:
John 14:9 “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
HOW can that not mean he's also the Father by human reasoning??
“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him... (for claiming to be God - by using the divine "I am"
Mark 14,: Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 “I am,” said Jesus...
63 The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” (Because Jesus used the divine "I am"}

Now I understand where your knowledge is limited...

Nigeria refines locally but we still take our crude oil to the global market (Atlantic Ocean) to sell.

Nigeria still imports fuel even when we have Dangote refinery. So the price will be influenced by shipping cost and insurance.

Lastly oil price is global.... It changes globally. Take for instant... If Brent crude rises, we will likely sell our crude to other countries at the new price.... By so doing, our nnpcl will then buy the refined fuel at the new price, since it's not subsidized they will see to make gains too.

Note that, the Brent price we sell at the global price was converted to equivalent amount in naira for Dangote.. So the price of fuel must likely go up.


If you don't understand this.... You're welcome to go quote your mates...

😅🤣 This is about the most convoluted stuff I've read lately.
Oga, WHY MUST NIGERIA BE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE INCREASE??!

It says Police have launched a massive manhunt for them.
Imagine you're reading this from a country where lesbian lovers kiss and hold hands openly and eventually get married in church!😅

JASONjnr:
If you don't know.....

All crude business is influenced by refinery products from hormus.

Also, you said earlier that we were second highest and now you said the highest....... you're not getting the statistics right.

Compare the increase in currency value and not just price value.

But again, even countries that do not transact at the hormus also increased their pump price, why is Nigeria a problem? When the percentage sold to Dangote is less than 50% and the other percentage was taken through the hormus for refining.

It is best you leave this matter alone because you don't know what you're talking about.
What is "refinery products from Hormuz"?? CRUDE OIL is what passes through Hormuz. We have our crude oil right here and Dangote right here. What is our business with Hormuz?? And not only that we increased, we increased by the highest percentage!

Read the charts again. The second one is only till March - that's the one Nigeria is tops!

JASONjnr:
Go and make your findings..... Compare countries without subsidized amount with the price of fuel sold in Nigeria....

You people are good at condemning this country with every efforts to see it crumble to the ground but you will never succeed.

My friend we'er talking of PERCENTAGE INCREASE since the war. See it below, Nigeria is highest. As soon as Hormuz happened Nigeria fuel prices went through the roof. Tell me Nigeria's business with Hormuz??!! Yet our fuel prices increased sharper than the whole world!!!

ZoomTravels:
Dual Nationality goes a long way. Thai police do a good job of identifying the real source of the problem from Nigeria ( there is a famous video of a Thai cop specifically describing the problem squad), they have a lot of them in custody and have monitored their operations for years that they can tell who is who, at the end of the day your dressing and behavior will distinguish you from such crowd, believe it or not there are other black folk of different backgrounds who visits and run businesses in the country but just one specific group is on a mission to paint everyone bad. As for why they do not come back only them and their low self esteem not to be see as failures can really explain that.

Wow, so you have Thai passport. Cool!
This one below says he wants to go back home.
How much is 2.4m baht?

ZoomTravels:
The problem is the culture that drives it into their brain that everyone that leaves the shore of Nigeria has to be not just successful but be the most successful in their respective villages. Most are working around with tattered jeans and slippers (you can smell them from the next street), all in the name of building a mansion in the village. There is no telling the housefly why honey is sweeter than f@ece5, they will always choose the cowards way everytime.

It must be embarrassing to you, being lumped in with them. Why do you think they don't just come back home?

soccerlite:
It's not so bad where

Lolzzzzz 🤣

Same way you'd think people are being shot down on the street everywhere in US - you'd then be wondering why people are dying to move there. It is the media and social media.
It's NOT nearly as bad as they make it seem

ZoomTravels:
Almost on every corner of the streets will you see “Nigerians” openly advertising their merchandise. The place almost looked like Alaba before they got them last year, now they are regrouping again but the new AI face detection is working overtime to round them up. Saddest thing is Bangkok itself is one of the most visited cities in the world, so you can imagine most people first impressions of Nigerians.

Poor guys, why don't they just come back home? It is not so bad here, never mind the hype

mfm04622:
The oil belongs to Venezuela!
The oil companies assets belongs to the shareholders, not the US government! Big difference.
Each govt have absolute right on how to manage resources in their country!
There are other companies that were given the same offer. Why was it that it is only US companies that rejected it?

My friend don't forget Venezuela is NOT a defeated country by any stretch and that they have a very powerful military, neither was there any regime change. It is exactly the same regime minus Maduro. The VP who was next in line of succession took over and rebuked Trump publicly about abducting Maduro, also saying they wouldn't take orders from Washington (see below). Since then Trump has been trying to sound like he runs Venezuela when it is totally a business deal that benefits both countries, duly agreed to and signed by both with a bunch of lawyers involved!

mfm04622:
Half education is always bad! Or your biases cloud your judgement.


In 2007, PDVSA bought 82% percent of Electricidad de Caracas company from AES Corporation as part of a renationalization program. Subsequently, the ownership share rose to 93.62% by December 2008.[16] Assets of ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips were expropriated in 2007 after they declined to restructure their holdings in Venezuela to give PDVSA majority control; Total, Chevron, Statoil and BP agreed and retained minority shares in their Venezuelan projects.[[color=#006600][/color][b][/b]17] As of 2026, Exxon and Conoco still have billions of dollars in outstanding claims,[18] with Exxon fighting to reclaim their losses in international court as early as 2008.
So, from above, what is different from what I said? Companies that agreed were compensated while American companies refused and their assets were seized.
Even if that nationalization was the excuse, the oil being stolen now by the US, was it being given to Exxon and Conoco?
Continue excusing US behavior!

Keep.mining ChatGPT. Is Venezuela the only country with oil in South America? They ILLEGALLY stole US oil through nationalization in Chaves pursuit of his communist agenda. Now US is LEGALLY managing their oil. Everything is agreed to and signed by both countries! It is Trump that tries to talk tough when the truth is that it is a purely business agreement. NOT that US is walking into Venezuela and taking their oil!

ZoomTravels:
Ohhh nothing much, just the next location the thai cops will pack them like sardines next week.

Oh, I thought u meant to write "working". You must live there. They pick people up just walking on the road?
I googled it

ZoomTravels:
Disgraceful set of people, this is the result of a culture without values or morality. Last year I was here telling these fools how Thailand of last year won’t be the same this year onwards. First they reduced visa for all countries and still your low IQ brain still think they will leave you lots operating as usual. If dem born any of you well try walking for Sukhumvit road from now till next month, ordinary boxers you no go carry go naija.

Please, what is "if dem born any of una well try walking for Sukhumvit road"

AntiChristian:
In Nehemiah 9:6 - You alone are the LORD.

The LORD above was El not Elohim. It is singular.

He alone is LORD. Who alone? Is it Jesus? Or Spirit or the Father?

Only one person alone!

So patiently explain this Bible verse below to us

AntiChristian:
God doesn't need to be with us for Him to act. He can command as He wills.

See my questions again!
How do the Prophets before Jesus understood God? Has God changed?

Who amongst them understood God has as three persons yet one?

Can you show explicitly where Jesus, father and Spirit exists together as God before Jesus?

God the Son of God came for a mission, which he accomplished. If Jesus is not God, what is he? He has to be God, only, not the Father!

The Prophets knew God was more than one person (see below). His true nature became a bit clearer with coming of Christ

JASONjnr:
My happiness over this war is that we have Dangote's refinery...


Without this refinery inflation would've been scary.... Because our national refineries have been death decades ago .....

Transportation would've skyrocketed and food price gone up ..

You are deluding yourself. Nigeria has the highest fuel price increase since the war began.
That's what I don’t understand about this our country. We SHOULD be sitting pretty, instead we are the ones suffering more than anybody else.
Oil price goes down we'll be crying. Oil price goes up we still crying. Na wa!

NaijaHelper1:
PO the man. I don't know why you want to lead Nigeria instead of pushing for Biafra.

Pushing for Biafra how exactly. Can you detail how exactly he should go about it

Obi is simply AUTHENTIC. There's no pretence about him. That is the man's nature! And You can't fake it no matter how you try!
And I believe that decency will transfer to Nigeria and help make us a better people

You forgot generously using MC Oluomo and thuggery for intimidation and as needed

.

Razzness:
The difference is that when Dangote brought in India to run his refinery, they don't take the proceeds or the oil back to India. Read the headline; Trump is boasting they used Venezuela's oil to pay for the Iran war 25 times over. If you cannot understand why that is wrong for a country like Venezuela to be in such a position, i dont know what else to say to you.

Oil that Hugo Chavez stole from US. That is what Trump is hiding. Chavez kicked out US companies and stole their oil

mfm04622:
No! You don't have the historical perspective!
I will give you an assignment. Go and find out WHY Venezuela kicked them out!

It is the same reason Iran kicked out US and British oil companies! They try to force slavish agreements on countries. When those countries try to renegotiate, they refuse. Leaving the country now other path than nationalizing their resources.
Resources in each country should be for the benefits of the citizens first! Not thieves and colonialists!
Nigeria also nationalized foreign oil companies. Is that enough reason for those countries to steal our oil?

Get some education below

Razzness:
The right analogy would be; why not hand over your wife and children to your neighbor who has demonstrated better management skills of taking care of his own than you. The answer is that there are things that define your essence as an individual and if you lose control of those your very existence is useless.

Your wife and children are himan beings. Oil is business. Dangote brought in India to run his refinery. US itself sells ANYTHING to the highest bidder regardless of whether u r American, except it affects national security. If you have the money you can buy anything in US (now including US citizenship).
Which more defines Nigeria, oil or our national team?

mfm04622:
All of you supporting the US stealing Venezuelan assets worth at least $100B are nothing but terrorist sympathizers!

You don't have the historical perspective. American companies spent enormous amounts of resources and money exploring and setting up Venezuela oil industry, then Hugo Chavez kicked them out, in effect stealing their oil. US is only trying to remedy that
Also, by Monroe doctrine (see below) US considers itself responsible for (and sort of owner of) everything in the Americas.

razzydoo:
Are you the one processing it for them?If it was you, would you buy raw materials you can't process?

Read below

razzydoo:
One thing you missed out on is the fact that Venezuelan Oil is one of the most undesirable. High Sulphur content and very expensive to process. So that alone negates all of your points here.

Which one concerns US with this? They simply SELL the crude, and there are no shortage of buyers (especially at this time of Hormuz). It sells about $10 less than Brent

Razzness:
Slave mentality

Why is it that it is only when it comes to countries that this mentality arises? In business, you hand the company to people who have demonstrated good management skills and it always works out better. We have more natural resources per capita than America, so why should they be doing ao much better than us? That's the kind of question u ask in business

Razzness:
Imagine a country boasting about using your country's oil to fund their personal endeavors .

Why not go ask Venezuelans if they're better off before. It is like we taking our oil from totally corruot NNPC and hading it to America to manage

Kanwulia:
So with lack of experience he jeopardized the lives of many? Highly irresponsible. For a job that needed experience, he had no business being there. Look at the results.

What do you mean? Is it not fate that put him there? A young man preoccupied with girlfriends and getting married. It was NOT like he organized a coup and made himself HOS.
Besides, you've forgotten my point, which you opposed. I said he was a decent young man, and was not a bigot or tribalist at all. Do you now agree with that?

DrAda:
I agree. My first impression was this but it is so rare and shouldn't be used as the poster child.for hiv

U right

Now, if you say you ask for asylum in South Africa, you must prove you did not travel through another country that is safe. No one from Goma can teleport to Joburg. How many countries did you travel through to get to South Africa? No flights on SAA go from South Africa to Eastern DRC.

A lot of these refugees use the threats back home as an excuse. But really, they just want to live better in South Africa since it's better than anywhere else in Africa.

So what exactly is wrong with wanting to live better in South Africa? Educate us
