Soloter:
Can you point out @OP how these sackings will stop his probe else I'll conclude that...
I never mention that the sacks would "stop" his probe. Probably the idea that the sacks would cover his tracks.

He is retaliating because most of those people lied to him that they would deliver their states and they failed
Your post challenges my curiosity. You think 'retaliating' at this time would do him any better?
Politics › GEJ Is Not Scared: Why Is He Sacking At This Odd Time? by Sanchez01(op): 9:02pm On Apr 27, 2015
The outgoing President has claimed he is not afraid to be probed but his actions speak otherwise. The President has been on what seems a sacking spree and reasons behind some of actions were never made known.

Is the President really saying the truth or he thinks the sacks would cover his "tracks"?

Christianity Etc › Re: What Bible Said About Speaking In Tongues That All Christians Should Adhere To by Sanchez01(m): 10:19pm On Apr 26, 2015
chemystery:
I have been to churches where almost all members speak in tongues. In fact, speaking in tongues is a prerequisite of being a true believer in some of these churches. I have asked those who speak in tongues the purpose of doing so since no one understands. Most reply are always similar to this: "It is a heavenly language that sets the devil and his followers in confusion...."
But reading my bible few days ago, i came across this portion:

1 Corinthians 14:27-28 King James Version (KJV)

27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

Contrary to this, in churches today we see more than 20 people speaking in tongues at the same time with no one to volunteer as an interpreter thereby leaving we unbelievers in confusion alongside the devil and his followers. I never said speaking in tongues is not real but then, let someone always come to our rescue just like the bible has instructed.
[b]
Funny, speaking in other tongues is NOT a heavenly language and it would be right for us to say the Devil understands languages of "other tongues", other than the English Language. You see, when a man manifests this gift, he possesses the ability to speak in another language without prior knowledge or mastery of the language. Eg, a Yoruba man could speak in Igbo as "other tongues".

Note that the Devil can raise suggestions in the heart of an Igbo man with the very language the Igbo man speaks.

What you are mixing up is simple and most people hardly notice them because it is often believed that they're one and the same. They are;

1. Praying in tongues: When I pray in tongues, I need no interpreter to make this stand because it is prayer; personal between God and I. Therefore, God understands the language I pray in at that point even when I don't understand it. So, since it's personal, it needs no interpretation.

2. Speaking in tongues: This is often confused with #1 above. To speak in tongues means to manifest in unknown (to you) tongues in public while people are somewhat attentive to the utterances coming out. This was why Apostle Paul mentioned in I Cor 4:27-28. Whoever decides or is led to speak in other tongues should keep quiet in the absence of someone who possesses the gift of interpretation of tongues. Reason for this is that such a person would edify himself/herself but would not be of any benefit to the church since there's no one to interpret what has been said.

People in church hardly speak in tongues today. What they do is PRAY in other tongues. But unfortunately, most pastors can't tell the difference between the two and their members are meant to pay since they don't know which is which.[/b]

7. Raguel: Meaning - "Friend of God"

Also known:
Akrasiel
Raguil
Rasuil
Rufael
Suryan

Referred to as the Archangel of Justice and Fairness, Raguel oversees all the other Archangels and Angels. He watches over them to make sure they’re working well together in a harmonious and orderly fashion according to Divine order and will.

Raguel is the Archangel for the underdog. Call on him for help when you need to be empowered and respected. He helps to resolve arguments, helps with cooperation and leads to harmony in groups and families. Raguel defends the unfairly treated, and provides support with mediation of disputes.

In the Revelation of John, Raguel is referred to as an assistant to God in the following account: "Then shall He send the Angel Raguel, saying: Go and sound the trumpet for the Angels of cold and snow and ice, and bring together every kind of wrath upon them that stand on the left."

Despite his exalted position, for some unexplained reason Raguel was reprobated in 745 A.D. by the Roman church (along with some other high-level Angels, including Uriel). At this time Pope Zachary described Raguel as a demon who "passed himself off as a saint".

NOTE: By saying "we're to call on them" means we recognize that we have them at our disposal and rather than disturb Christ with little petitions, Angels, be it arch or the regular, are always there to make things work out. However, there's a VERY thin line between calling on them and 'deitifying' them which makes it a bit risky for someone who does not understand how to go about it.

Jophiel was the Angel present in the Garden of Eden and later watched over Noah’s sons. The Archangel of art and beauty, he is the patron of artists, helping with artistic projects, thinking beautiful thoughts, to see and appreciate beauty around us.

You know Jophiel is at work if you are searching for answers to the questions in your life and wish the greater wisdom to be revealed to you, and all of a sudden you experience flashes of insight in which everything suddenly becomes clear.

Also known:
Camael
Camiel
Camiul
Camniel
Cancel
Jahoel
Kemuel
Khamael
Seraphiel
Shemue


The Archangel of pure love, Chamuel can lift you from the depths of sorrow and find love in your heart. Chamuel helps us to renew and improve existing relationships as well as finding our soul mates. He works with us to build strong foundations for our relationships (as well as careers) so they're long-lasting, meaningful and healthy. You'll know he's with you when you feel butterflies in your stomach and a pleasant tingling in your body.

If there's a breakdown of your relationship, if you cling to your relationships and don't allow your companion the freedom to be able to express themselves freely, call on Chamuel for guidance and support. The other areas you can Chamuel can help is if you need to strengthen a parent-child bond, if you're unable to feel love for yourself or others, if your heart has hardened and is full of negative emotions, if you have lost someone close through death or separation, if you and your children have experienced a divorce, if your heart is blocked with depression, hopelessness and despair, if you feel lonely and broken hearted, if you need to be loved, if you are judgmental and cynical or if you don't appreciate the love that you have in your life.

Chamuel can also help with world peace, career, life purpose and finding lost items.

4. Uriel: Meaning - "God is light", "God's light", Fire of God"

Uriel is considered one of the wisest Archangels because of his intellectual information, practical solutions and creative insight, but he is very subtle. You may not even realize he has answered your prayer until you've suddenly come up with a brilliant new idea.

Uriel warned Noah of the impending flood, helped the prophet Ezra to interpret mystical predictions about the coming Messiah and delivered the Cabal to humankind. He also brought the knowledge and practice of alchemy and the ability to manifest from thin air, as well as illuminates situations and gives prophetic information and warnings. All this considered, Uriel's area of expertise is divine magic, problem solving, spiritual understanding, studies, alchemy, weather, earth changes and writing. Considered to be the Archangel who helps with earthquakes, floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, natural disaster and earth changes, call on Uriel to avert such events or to heal and recover in their aftermath

In the eighth century, the Christian Church became alarmed at the rampant and excessive zeal with which many of the faithful were revering Angels. For some unknown reason, in 145 A.D. under Pope Zachary, a Roman council ordered seven Angels removed from the ranks of the Church’s recognized Angels, one of them being Uriel.

3. Gabriel: Meaning - "Strength of God"; "The Divine is my strength"; "God is my strength"

Also known:
Abruel
Jibril
Jiburili
Serafili


The only Archangel depicted as female in art and literature, Gabriel is known as the "messenger" Angel and is one of the four Archangels named in Hebrew tradition and is considered one of the two highest-ranking Angels in Judeo-Christian and Islamic religious lore. Apart from Michael, she is the only Angel mentioned by name in the Old Testament. She is a powerful and strong Archangel, and those who call upon her will find themselves pushed into action that leads to beneficial results.

Gabriel can bring messages to you just as she did to Elizabeth and Mary of the impending births of their sons, John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth. If you are considering starting a family, Gabriel helps hopeful parents with conception or through the process of adopting a child.

Contact Gabriel if your third eye is closed and your spiritual vision is therefore blocked. If you wish to receive visions of Angelic guidance regarding the direction you are going in. If you wish to receive prophecies of the changes ahead. If you need help in interpreting your dreams and vision.

Gabriel helps anyone whose life purpose involves the arts or communication. She acts as a coach, inspiring and motivating artists, journalist and communicators and helping them to overcome fear and procrastination.

Gabriel also helps us to find our true calling. Ask for Gabriel's guidance if you have strayed from your soul's pathway, if you wish to understand your life plan and purpose. She can also help if you can find no reason for being or if changes are ahead and you need guidance. If you are contemplating a house move, major purchase or thinking of changing careers.

Call Gabriel if your body is full of toxins and needs purifying and if your thoughts are impure or negative and need clearing and cleansing. Gabriel is also very helpful for women who have been raped or sexually assaulted and feel dirty as well as being under psychic attack or if you feel that you have absorbed someone else's problems.

2. Raphael: Meaning - "Healing power of God", "The Divine has healed", "God heals"

Also known:
Labbiel

Hebrew word rapha means "doctor" or "healer". Raphael is a powerful healer and assists with all forms of healing - humans and animals. He helps to rapidly heal body, mind and spirit if called upon, as in the biblical story of Abraham and the pain he felt after being circumcised as an adult. You may call upon Raphael in behalf of someone else, but he can't interfere with that person's free will. If they refuse spiritual treatment, it can't be forced.

The chummiest and funniest of all Angels, Raphael is often pictured chatting merrily with mortal beings. He's very sweet, loving, kind and gentle and you know that he's around when you see sparkles or flashes of green light.

Part of Raphael's healing work involves spirit releasing and space clearing. He often works with Michael to exorcise discarnate entities and escort away lower energies from people and places.

As well as a healer, Raphael is known as the "Patron of Travelers" because of his help with Tobias and his travels. Call upon Raphael when you are traveling, to assure safe travel. In addition, he assures that all your transportation, lodging and luggage details go miraculously well. Raphael also helps with inward spiritual journeys, assisting in searches for truth and guidance.

Raphael taught Tobias how to make balms and ointments from a fish which cured Tobias' father blindness. Raphael can be called upon to help healers such as doctors, therapist and surgeons. Call on Raphael if you're a student entering the healing field and you're looking for the right school and/or are in need of help with studies, as well as getting the time and money for school. He also assists with establishing healing practices when your schooling is finished. Raphael not only helps you to heal from physical, emotional and mental pain, he also heals wounds from past lives.

Other areas Raphael helps with is finding lost pets, reducing and eliminating addictions and cravings, clairvoyance, bringing unity to your life, if you feel out of touch with your spirituality, if you've lost a partner and/or your soul/body doesn't feel "whole".
Christianity Etc › What You Must Know About Arch-angels And Their Roles by Sanchez01(op):
Archangels are the highest-ranking angels in heaven. God gives them the most important responsibilities, and they do their work both in the heavenly dimension and in the earthly one. The word “archangel” is from the Greek words “arche” (ruler) and “angelos” (messenger), signifying archangels’ dual duties. Archangels rule over the universe’s daily operation on missions from God, while also delivering messages from God to human beings.

They're 7 in number and were repeatedly mentioned in Revelations;

"I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. " - Rev 15:1.

"And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them." - Rev 8:2.


Arch-Angels can be put to use by people but overtime, limited knowledge of these Spirit beings have caused Christians to talk less of them.

THE ARCH-ANGELS, NATURE and ROLES EXPLAINED

1. Michael : Meaning - "Who is like God", "Like unto God", "Who is like the Divine"
(Also known)
Beshter
Mika'il
Sabbathiel


The first Angel created by God, Michael is the leader of all the Archangels and is in charge of protection, courage, strength, truth and integrity. Michael protects us physically, emotionally and psychically. He also oversees the lightworker's life purpose. His chief function is to rid the earth and its inhabitants of the toxins associated with fear. Michael carries a flaming sword that he uses to cut through etheric cords and protects us from Satan and negative entities. When he's around you may see sparkles or flashes of bright blue or purple light. Call on Michael if you find yourself under psychic attack or if you feel you lack commitment, motivation and dedication to your beliefs, courage, direction, energy, vitality, self-esteem, worthiness. Michael helps us to realize our life's purpose and he's invaluable to lightworkers helping with protection, space clearing and spirit releasement.

Michael conquered the fallen Angel Satan, was in the Garden of Eden to teach Adam how to farm and care for his family, spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai and in 1950 he was canonized as Saint Michael, "the patron of Police Officers," because he helps with heroic deeds and bravery. Michael also has an incredible knack for fixing electrical and mechanical devices, including computers and automobiles. If your automobile breaks down, call on Michael.

Michael helps us to follow our truth without compromising our integrity and helps us to find our true natures and to be faithful to who we really are. Other times when you may find Michael helpful is when your job is too demanding with impossible deadlines to reach, when you have an addiction, if you're very ill and suffering from a degenerative disease or terminal illness and when you suffer from nightmares.

Stop being a f.cking hypocrite. You think your religion is better than their won. Which bible teaches love? You think your own bible is holy. You think your bible teaches peace. If you want to f.ucking condemn another religion, then examine yours if there are flaws or not. Don't be evil and judge things one sided. Because you don't practice your religion right doest mean your religion doesn't teach disgusting things.


Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests
Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

Kill Witches
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)

Kill Homosexuals
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)

Kill Fortunetellers
A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)

Death for Hitting Dad
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)

Death for Cursing Parents
1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)
2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)

Death for Adultery
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)

Death for Fornication
A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
[b]Unfortunately, most of you only see the words in the Bible without understanding them. You were so swift in pointing to the core aspects of the manifestations of Law without verifying whom they were meant for. Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are the main carriers of the commandments of Law during Moses' era. And since Moses represented the Law, the people were handed some laws to guide and lead them aright. The passages you mentioned DO NOT refer to unbelievers but believers, the Chosen of God (Israelites).

While Christ came with the message of Grace, the many punishments for sins were neglected because Christ made them irrelevant. As Christians, we don't use the aforementioned books as a standard because it WAS designed and laid down for the then people of Israel whom God delivered from Egypt.

Christ is our standard and you would never read or find Christ asking His followers to behead, kill or maim anyone who refuses to acknowledge Him as the Son of God. Christ is the standard of every Christian. Moses was only a vessel used by God and the Laws were only applicable to the Israel of then.

Nothing seems to be new here, judging by your post. I'd recommend that you make a resolve within your heart. Sometimes, we may claim we're tired of our old ways but may never be ready to forsake them. Indulge your mind with The Word; study more, listen to Christian Messages and heart lifting songs. Since you're in the US, I'd recommend you listen to sermons from Kenneth E.Hagin (late) and Dr. Myles Munroe (late). Try reading "The Glory of Living" by the latter and be mindful of being alone for now. I pray you find strength.

U made some good points my friend, but I have some frank words for you. I found this statement by you particularly disturbing

You said and I quote



I don't argue based on Christ being better (he is and I don't need to prove) check my 70 topics on Islam and u won't see such. I mostly point out the evil taught and practised by Mohammed and how his Islamic deity cannot be the one true God as well as compare and contrast Christian and Islamic teachings.

You also admit that u haven't read the quran and hadiths, u boldly state ur ignorance on what Islam is while they murder our Christian brothers and sisters in the name of their Islamic god.

The bible says my people perish because of lack of knowledge. Have u ever seen a religious debate between professional Christians and Muslims apologist? U should. Christian apologists quote both the bible and quran excellently.

Perhaps u should advise the Christian apologists not to go beyond the Bible and should not be interested in what the Hadith says about the Islamic deity.


You also made another appalling comment. I just smh in amazement.

You said,


If u are a bible reading Christian who has some understanding of the quran, you will never have said that.


U kept pointing out that pharisees are not Muslims. U forget Islam didn't exist then. So I ask u, now that Islam exists to murder and persecute non-muslims esp. Christians and Jews as well as teach evil like this

Qur’an 8:12— Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”

Qur’an 9:73—O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.”

Qur'an (9:29)-"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

Sura 9:5. "When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them."

do u think Christ will be quiet and do nothing if he were to come again this instant. I don't think so.
My Dear, I read the Bible to understand what seems a mystery to an average Christian. That's to say "I study to show myself approved". About my quote on Islam and Christianity and God being the judge, you should understand that it would be unfair to our Muslim brethrens when we claim ours is the only one recognized by God. Again, let God be the judge. While growing up, I have read several topical debates between Christian and Islamic scholars and what was my summation: both set out to outdo each other. Where's the tolerance Christ preached in Luke 6:29?

I'm ignorant about the teachings of Islams and I have chosen to be because it is not the great commission Christ mandated. Yes, Islamic extremists are killing Christians and other "Infidels" but have you ever thought what Christ would have done if He is here like He did with His disciples? Did Christ attack His captors when he was near cruxification? What was His response when one of His disciple cut off the ear of one of his captor?

"50. And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51. But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him. 52. Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber?" - Luke 22:51.

He's telling you the same today; "No more of this!"

Ifeann:
Hi buddy, I want to point out to you that I don't say false things about Islam. My posts are not attacks but only facts. Have u read the quran or hadiths. . I only discuss it as I see the information in the quran and authentic sahih hadiths. most nairaland Muslims get offended because they have a Disney land version of Mohammed in their minds thanks to years of brainwashing and living in the denial.
I don't go beyond the Bible and I'm not interested in what the Hadith says about the Islamic deity. The same should be said about every Christian because we do not strive to prove that Christ is "better". Again, provoking people of their faith is uncalled for. I see no reason why we should taunt another religion simply because they're not within our fold. That Islam or Christianity is the ONE remains with God, not us.

I am not perfect and sometimes the discussion may get heated by I refrain from insults..u won't see my insult them back..and if I ever in my fallible human nature did, then I am sorry for that.
There's thin line between religion and fanatism and religious "arguments" most end up with insults and hates. Reason for this is simple, those involved often tend to exhibit religion superiority over the other.

However, U said Christ won't confront other religions on their falsehood, I beg to differ. Infact I will provide quotes of what Christ had to say about the pharisees (false teachers) who later called for his death.
No, I did not say Christ "won't" confront other religions. I said HE NEVER DID. You need to understand who the Pharisees are. They shared the same line of thought cum belief with Christ. The problem was that they perverted their teachings and ways and preferred hypocrisy to the real deal. THE PHARISEES WERE NOT FROM "OTHER" RELIGION. They knew God but sought to pervert their teachings. This made them earn the name "false teachers". And this best explained why they were easily angered by the teachings of Christ who revealed the truth they had neglected and later sought to destroy him.

1.They taught about God but did not love God — they did not enter the kingdom of heaventhemselves, nor did they let others enter. ( Matt 23:13-14)
The Pharisees were being referred to here, not Muslims.

2.They preached God but converted people to dead religion, thus making those convertstwice as much sons of hell as they themselves were. ( Matt 23:15)
There's an eternal debate about Allah not being or being God. I don't want to dwell on this but Christ was obviously not referring to Muslims but the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

3.They taught that an oath sworn by the temple or altar was not binding, but that if sworn by the gold ornamentation of the temple, or by a sacrificial gift on the altar, itwasbinding. The gold and gifts, however, were not sacred in themselves as the temple and altar were, but derived a measure of lesser sacredness by being connected to the temple or altar. The teachers and Pharisees worshiped at the temple and offered sacrifices at the altar because they knew that the temple and altar were sacred. How then could they deny oath-binding value to what was truly sacred and accord it to objects of trivial and derived sacredness? ( Matt 23:16-22)
4.They taught the law but did not practice some of the most important parts of the law — justice, mercy, faithfulness to God. They obeyed the minutiae of the law such as tithing spices but not the weightier matters of the law. ( Matt 23:23-24)
5.They presented an appearance of being 'clean' (self-restrained, not involved in carnal matters), yet they were dirty inside: they seethed with hidden worldly desires, carnality. They were full ofgreed and self-indulgence. ( Matt 23:25-26)
6.They exhibited themselves as righteous on account of being scrupulous keepers of the law, but were in fact not righteous: their mask of righteousness hid a secret inner world of ungodly thoughts and feelings. They were full of wickedness. They werelike whitewashed tombs, beautiful on the outside, but full of dead men's bones. ( Matt 23:27-28)
7.They professed a high regard for the dead prophets of old, and claimed that they would never have persecuted and murdered prophets, when in fact they were cut from the same cloth as the persecutors and murderers: they too had murderous blood in their veins. ( Matt 23:29-36).
The other Scriptural references you gave are still in reference to the Pharisees and not Muslims and it would be wrong to transfer these facts on Muslims because they do not teach in our churches, neither do they preach Christ, nor act as keepers of the Law (the Old Testament).

Finally, Islam came to life through the womb of Hagar and Ishmael being the founding father of Islam did not serve in the temple, neither did his followers. The Pharisees were supposed priests of God whose ways became perverted. They would have received instant judgements if they had put up their heresies and deceits in the Old Testament, just like the house of Eli, Gehazi and sons of the prophets who thought they were familiar with God and his dealings. Grace was what preserved the Pharisees and in a way, they made the mission of Christ a reality. Christ never attacked Pagans and non believers of the Word and we're expected to follow in His steps.

The problem with christains today is that they don't believe God can hear and use them so they depend on their General Overseers / Pastors, the Christians of today are too weak to read the Holy Bible and very lazy when it comes to prayers. The Holy Bible covers all aspects of life with their solutions so why not tap from it?.
Understanding is limited to most Christians. I believe it's absurd though, for any church to sell some water for that amount.

I've watched TBJ advertise it to audiences

Could you please post a video link?

They will be more like Mohammed(and the spirit of the anti Christ) than be Christ-like.
Dearie, your incessant attacks on Islam is way disturbing. You're not doing the will of Christ in this regard because Christ would never launch attacks on other religions. He never did. If you think you're doing God's will by constantly disrespecting other religions, then you're doing Christ a great disservice. It's high time you stopped.

Did you just said at-taqqiyah? Remember Paul, founder of Christianity......the guy lied. Did you just say blasphemies?. But Bible itself blasphemes God.
Mr, last I checked the thread stated "How Can We Recognise False Teachers?". It was a simple question and wouldn't allow for bashing and attacks. I assume you're a Muslim judging by the bolded from your post. Regardless, I'd like to correct a notion; Christianity is NOT a religion. It's a way of life and Apostle Paul was never the founder according to your claim (And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that for a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. - Acts 11:26).

The disciples were called "Christians" which was coined from the name "Christ" + "ian" meaning "Christ-like". Mind you, the word itself was an adjective; a derogatory word to show contempt towards the followers of Christ. I could enlighten you more on this if you're interested but I consider it unwise to post on a seeming Christian thread. A little self-respect won't hurt.

OLAADEGBU:
The Bible says there will be many false teachers - how can we identify them?
1. Their lifestyle which is often defined by flamboyance, gathering of wealth etc.
2. Teachings/Preachings, often built around prosperity, success and less of teachings on heaven and holiness.
3. Doctrine!
4. The place of Trinity in their church.
5. They're good at blasphemy and heresy.

thank you for this intelligent and uninsultive reply, yes you are right in alot you said, let me try my best to reply in kind.
1. yes numerous faceless so called igbo groups have come up claiming to represent the Igbo interests, such is to be found in a democracy as its the undeniable right of every human being to say what ever they wish, but do you know why this is happening amongst the Igbos mostly? [b]its because there is no claer Igbo leader [/b]hence when theres a vacuum all manner of thrash will flood to fill it. But alas, speak to your average Igbo man and woman on the street, all he or she cares about is moving Nigeria forward as a nation.

2, Niaraland is palying an active role in inciting tribal hate, why i and alot of people have this opinion? because if you carefully look at how the modds seem to indirectly encourage these fights to either boot traffic or whatever selfish reasons they may have i don't know, but its sad .

3. I love every tribe though we are all immensely flawed as humans but in our diversity dos Nigerians greatest strength lie.

4. if i didnt answer all your questions please forgive me, i am at work and one of my team members has pissed me off so i might be about to fire someone angry
[b]Lolz... I agree with your #2 but I'd like to point out the bolded as the root cause of the incessant bashing on the Igbos. I wouldn't say they're not organized but I'd recommend that the Igbos take a cue from the leadership style of the North (Arewa Northern Forum) and the Yorubas (the Afenifere even though they're factionalized all thanks to the PDP and the APC). A voice is always stronger than many voices because several voices would only result to noise and the main point may not be driven home. A voice, however, would resound and resonate stronger. Some here have branded the Igbos as "ultimatum givers" as a result of the several groups claiming to be the main group.

Like I earlier mentioned, Nairaland is only a forum and I don't think it will stop being so as most of us trust it than any news source. Unfortunately, the tribalistic aspect of it all is most tiring and nerve breaking. I told a friend about this yesterday and it sometimes discourage me from coming on to Nairaland. Lolz, @ your #4, please don't fire anyone smiley

Yes the OP timmilehin AND THE MODS ARE WORKING HAND IN HAND TO CREATE TRIBAL HATE AGAINST A TRIBE HERE!!!! WITH VERY LITTLE REPLIES THEY QUICKLY BROUGHT THIS TO FRONT PAGE SO PEOPLE CAN HVA EREASONS TO HATE IGBS, YOU ARE ALL VERY WICKED!!! DO YOU THINK IF EVERY NAIRALANDER WENT HUNTING FOR USELESS POSTS BY YORUBA AND HAUSA GROUPS THEY WOULDNT FIND THEM? BUT INSTEAD NAIRALAND.COM SEEMS TO ENCOURAGE TRIBAL HATE AGAINST SOME TRIBES BY CONTINOUSLY POSTING TOPICS THAT MAKE SOME TRIBES LOOK SELFISH WHERE AS THIS IS NOT THE CASE.. WAS IT NOT THE OPC LEADER THAT STOOP VEHEMENTLY BEHIND GEJ? YET YOU HAVE TOTALLY IGNORED ALL THE RUBBISH HE HAS BEEN SAYING EVEN AFTER BUHARI WON, TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE ALL YORUBAS SUPPORTED BUHARI?!!!!!! YOU HAVE INTENTIONALLY IGNORED POSTS BY GROUPS SUPPORTING APC!!! YESTERDAY MAIRALND POSTED A TOPIC SAYING PDP CAMPAIGNS IN ABIA WITH MATCHETES YET I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT APC SUPPORTERS IN ABIA ARE FIGTING PDP STRONGLY YET YOU DONT POST THIS!!! IF NAIRALAND IS BIASED PLEASE LETS US KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS GETTING TOO MUCH!!! IS NAIRALAND NOW A PRO YORUBA WEB SITEhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh?

WHY SHOULD timmilehin POST THIS AND WHEN I VIEWED IT, IT HAD LESS THAN 10 REPLIES YET YOU HAD MOVED IT TO FRONT PAGEhuh??
I KNOW HOW MANY IGBO GROUPS SUPPORTED THE APC, ONLY NAIRALAND SEEMED TP NEVER REPORT OR POST ANYTHING ON THIS GROUPS INSTEAD YOU POSTED HOW IGBOS ARE PRO GEJ!!! HOW IGBOS RIGGRD FOR GEJ, NAIRALAND REFUSED TO POST ANYTHING ON THE IGBOS WHO WORKED FOR OR SUPPORTED AMBODE INSTEAD YOU ONLY POSTED HOW THE OBA THREATENED IGBOS ALL TO INCITE IGBOS FURTHER, IF NAIRALAND CONTINUES TO BE USED AS A TOOL TO FUEL INTER TRIBAL CONFLICT TRUST WHEN I SAY STEPS CAN BE TAKEN TO SHUT NAIRALAND DOWN PERMANENTLY!!!
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT TREASON IS??!!!! NAIRALAND.COM IS INCITING INTER TRIBAL CONFLICT WITH THESE CLEARLY EMOTIONALLY MANIPULATIVE POSTSAND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS WEBSITE SINCE 2005 AND SEEN THE TREND OVER THE LAST DECADE, AND YES I AM SAYING THIS WITH A FACT MR OSEWA, YOUR WEBSITE IS BORDERING ON TREASON!!!! ARE YOU TRYING TO STIR UP HATE AMONGST THE CITIZENShuh?
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM IS? BE VERY CAREFUL MODS
[b]Please stop screaming wolf when there is none present! Nairaland isn't inciting any tribal conflict here, I think we should talk to our kinsmen to apply wisdom. Take it or leave it, the article is on a handful of print media and would be read all over. Nairaland is only a forum where news are culled from other credible news websites or from users of the forum who witnessed first hand events. When Oba Akiolu threatened the Igbos, Nairaland aired it as it was. I'd really love for you to explain the bolded to us. I'm really dying hard to read your version of the definition. I think the groups representing the Ndigbos are painting the Igbos in bad light.

The Niger-Delta outrightly rejected Dokubo and pledged to support GMB's administration, despite the failure of their own to return. The Hausas and the Yorubas are yet to make demands, none that I know of while several Igbo groups keep presenting endless demands and lists like it's a bride price list meant for a groom. Stating the obvious, the Igbos, though obvious through their representatives, are still bitter and it's pointless because the sympathizers are obviously crying than the bereaved. Nigeria is saddled with several ethnic groups and the incessant demands of the Igbos is only out to show that they're self-serving. It's only ironic when you hear someone say "we're not part of 'this zoo'" yet their demands day and night is disturbing. The demands are irritating. Apologies to anyone who feels insulted by my post smiley

Sorry to disappoint you, Barcanista has never been smart, he only pretends to be with his sickly APC "over my life" threats. His life seems a bitter one because all he has in mind is nothing but hate. Good news is he'd need to put this hate up for 4 straight years, if he hasn't died of heart attack by then.
