Christian will have problem with another christian, but but the ONLINE LUNATIC WILL BLAME IT ON ISLAM.

One even said christian is not a terrorist religion, am laughing so much here.

Go to the book of number, Sam, Deuteronomy, Luke and read for yourself.

Go and read about Spanish inquisition and so on.

Mr Man stop holding to the past. This is 2023.
Christians don't follow the old testament, take your weeping to the Jews.
In 2023 muslims still believe it's right to kill an innocent person in the name of Allah if their fragile emotion is insulted.
That's the crux here not what some people did 600 yrs ago. Muslims also had horrible past, but no one is talking g about.
We talking now.

MiddleDimension:
You and your friend SIRTee15 are horribly wrong. He clearly addressed them as seperate individuals, not as a siamese twins who got seperated later. Ezekiel puts it better.

Ezekiel 23 from the Good News Bible it says: ''1.The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

2. Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:''

In vs 4 it says: ''The older one was named Oholah[a] (she represents Samaria), and the younger one was named Oholibah[b] (she represents Jerusalem). I married BOTH of them, and they bore me children.''

To further prove that he meant two seperate people here, He said ''THE OLDER ONE... represents Samaria.'' Samaria is the capital of Israel, the northern kingdom which is larger because it is made up of 10 of the 12 tribes hence was called the ''OLDER ONE'', while Judah whose capital is Jerusalem is the smaller part since it consists of only two tribes: Judah and Benjamin.

So, you can see very clearly in Ezekiel, that he is talking a out two separate individuals and he said He MARRIED THEM BOTH!

I do not expect you to mae a U-turn over night as you have been believing what you believe for a long time. But go and do your research and ask your pastors and priests. Whatever they tell you, comopare it to what I have said here and you can also lock up yourself in your room and pray to the holyspirit to guide you. Whatever illumination you recieve, if at all you will recieve anything, share it with me and lets evaluate it to see if it is a superior position.

I just waffling my friend. When did God establish his relationship with Israel, when did he announce the union.
WHEN DID GOD TELL THE ISRAELITES 'I AM A JEALOUS GOD'
That's my question, not when he reiterated or emphasised the union.

Was the covenant of union of blood established when Israelites was ONE or when they were two.

Exodus 24:7-8
Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the LORD has said we will do, and be obedient.” And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you according to all these words.”

This is what we trying to make u see and u doing whataboutism up and down.

Innobee99:
Very weak set of people

It depends on the set up of the church. This church from what I can see consists mainly of women, there's very little they can do.
If the church consist of men, a brawl will definitely break up.
I can assure u he will not even pass the gate of big winners church. The ushers will not only prevent him from entering the premises but will beat him up if he becomes too aggressive.

killsmith:
Everything you wrote here is trash because the word yoruba did not exist then. Yoruba was a creation of a popular yoruba historian.

The earliest point of your history is ife and can be dated to the 16th century. The bini have been trading with the Portuguese since the 12th century and lagos was a port of trade for the bini.

Bini is far older than ife. Meaning they are your fathers.

What century did Portuguese reach the west African coast?

TheGoodJoe:
You are jumping in circles now. Boko Haram and NNPC are two different things.

As long as you have a thieving head, it is almost impossible to stop thieving systems. Simple.

It's like u don't know people became billionaires overnight with the from the boko haram menace. Reason why the military wanted the charade to continue as long as possible.

Eminentworld:
Due to current Naija Economy, is Kuwait a good country to hustle and earn a better living. Please 🙏🙏 kindly share your experience and advice. Thanks

I dont know of hustling, but if u able to secure a job, then pls go.
If the hustling u mean is above, good for u.
I will strongly advise japa crews to consider gulf countries, they offer most reasons we japa in the first place- strong currency, cheap cost of living, low inflation, zero tax, payment on bills is ridiculously cheap, good disposable income, stable economy. Also there's generous welfare from govt but I think that's for only citizens.
But overall gulf country is a better option than European country for a non ambitious japarian. Nigerians should look into this option rather than the herd UK, Canada thing.

The global economy isn't great at the moment and it's seriously affecting most developed countries. Inflation is biting hard, wages are stagnant, and disposable income is edging away since bills keep rising.
This is as a result of the COVID pandemic when western govt printed trillions of dollars without any productivity backing it. The ukraine-russia war made it worse.

Gulf countries and Scandinavian countries are places that somehow remain immune to this problems for now and are equally good places to live.

TheGoodJoe:

The leak goes on because many in power are party to it. When you have a President that does not have time for stealing for himself and family, a lot of mess up will not go on. The reason why NNPC and co. can mess up other Presidents is because they have a hand in the loot. As for Peter Obi, they can't try it because he is not a thief.

Your comment shows u don't understand the complexity of Nigerian system.
So goodluck Jonathan benefited from boko haram menace that he allowed it to fester enough they could use it to finish off his govt.
How was he benefiting from boko haram? Tell me.
Do u think Tinubu is benefiting from banditry. Will he do anything about it? What about bunkering?

WorldRichest:
If you concentrate on your life, maybe you would not beg for food like those before you.

The fraudulent fuel subsidy is gone forever. Even if you decide to commit suicide, we will not bring it back.

Who told it's gone. Your Tinubu is back supporting the naira and subsidising fuel after is initial disastrous floating open economy policy.
A developing nation floating his economy to the global market...It's a one ticket to ruin.
Let him continue to listen to IMF, by the time they use him to finish Nigeria. Even, agbadorians will stone Tinubu on the street.

TheGoodJoe:
Peter Obi always said that the consumption rate of Petrol was false and that is what he will first undertake. He said from his calculation, we are consuming less than half of what is actually stated. To him, that is were a big chunk of the fraud is happening. Take that out and then you will have less expenses on petroleum subsidy.

Invest this into key critical areas to boost local production (note, that this also includes improved power generation and local petroleum products). Also investing in other areas like reducing the cost of education and health care. Then go to nullify the petroleum subsidy. The subsidy must go is not mounting the inauguration stage and shouting no more subsidy.

How long will all this investment in critical sectors take? 1-2 yrs. Where will he get money to invest in power, health and education without first removing subsidy. Or u think investment in critical sector na beans.
Obi's plan was clear- he was going to stop petrol subsidy and invest the money in critical sector.
He's just now twisting his mouth when all have seen the disastrous outcome of sudden subsidy removal.

TheGoodJoe:

Audio CNG.

Peter Obi was about investigating the subsidy matter and plugging leakages. Is there a major investment in CNG? Or just talk.

Be specific.
Investigating what, plugging what leakages? How long will this investigation take?
So obi wouldn't remove the subsidy b4 the investigation is complete? What if the investigation takes 2 yrs?

I'm sure u talking g like this b4 u are obi fan. U know all these investigation and blocking leaks will come to nothing.
Nigeria is too complex for all these one man show effect. Nigeria is not Anambra where a governor can be giving orders from his tables and the whole state will be shaking.
Ordinary NNPC will mess Obi up as president, not to talk about the leaks going on in nigerdelta in conjunction with the Nigerian navy. This alone will take years to fix if he's ready to risk all- including his presidency and go against the gladiators.
That was how people were hyping fashola because of wonders he did as governor in Lagos only for him to get to Abuja and be lamenting up and down. He was in power for 8 yrs as minister, I can't talk of a single achievement credited to him.

TheGoodJoe:

Fixing our refineries is not the way to go because it is proving to be a conduit for easy looting of our resources. The way to go is massive empowerment of modular refineries and support the development of others.

Did u read where I said be it private or govt...even modular is welcomed.
Just have refining capacity of crude at home. Simple.
Take this to the bank....
No govt I repeat no government, irrespective of it's determination will ever remove fuel subsidy without doing the above.

Now that subsidy has been removed, did the price come down. The right thing to do was to fix a domestic refinery b4 eliminating subsidy.
Until then subsidy withdrawal should have been gradual.
Osinbajo was right. He was an insider and knew the impracticality of immediate subsidy removal, he warned against inflation if it's removed suddenly. No be wetin dey wreck Nigeria now...abi £1 no be 1500 now.
As for obi, even the throwbacks are exposing his ignorance in hindsight.

TheGoodJoe:

Peter Obi has never said he is against the removal of Petrol subsidy but is critical of the approach and no plan to cushion the effect. Peter Obi's key was always stop subsidy and immediately channel the money towards alleviating critical areas that put pressure on family and human development capital.

Instead, what we are seeing is harsh removal of petrol subsidy by the current government and increase in cost in critical areas by the government. Also no move to alleviate suffering of the people.

U just speaking thru both sides of the mouth..doublespeak.
Is this govt not taking measures to alleviate the negative impact of subsidy removal via provision of CNG as alternative....how has it helped.

The ONLY RIGHT thing to do is to fix the local refinery- be it private or govt b4 the full removal of subsidy. Any other measures is simply theory, it will never work.
The removal of subsidy b4 fixing above is just a one way ticket to uncontrolled inflation.
Osinbajo was right, obi was just talking theory, that's why I never supported him.
Buhari wanted to eliminate subsidy, he got there and realised it's not possible.
Osinbajo who was an insider warned against sudden subsidy removal and the likely inflationary effect which will worsen the economic fortune of the people
Tinubu didnt believe in subsidy. Did his gragra, removed it and now we have 1 dollar selling for 1500.
Funny thing is Tinubu is back on subsidising fuel and I doubt he wil ever attempt eliminating subsidy again.
Na only osinbajo get sense among all of them, this is why I supported him.

Unless issued by Simon Ekpa, any other directive is a counterfeit.

ednut1:
He lived to fight another day. The house of assembly would have impeached him or lagos would have become a war zone. It wasn’t worth it.

Above is the true answer.
Ambode started very late. The best feasible option was for him to decamp to another party, but will risk impeachment from the state assembly.
Unfortunately, ambode didn't have a good relationship with the members so he will be at their mercy.
To prevent his impeachment, he will then have to fight very dirty. Likely use the paramilitary and other forces within his govt to terrorise the state and his opponents including possible political assassination.
This would lead to eventual massive protests against Ambode because he's not popular amongst lagosians. Ambode may respond with state sponsored counter protest leading to bloodshed on the streets.
I'm sure if he pay thugs well, they will enter streets with machete to hack down any opponents or protesters.
With constant unrest leading to the election, I'm not sure how he will be able to govern Lagos in peace.
Let's not forget Lagos is not like any other state. So many vested interests including foreign govts. Most expatriates Iive in Lagos, with Lagos reaching boiling point with violence, most world powers attention will focus on Lagos and whoever is instigating the crises. Ambode will risk international sanctions.
In all Ambode has to make sure he return as governor because if he lose out, he will be destroyed. Election rigging is a different game altogether. Ambode must be ready to match Tinubu heavy electoral machination on election day.
So what we will see is the replay of Awolowo v akintola fiasco and the subsequent wild wild west.
In all of this, his luck will last if FG looks sideways, if FG thinks otherwise, they will move against him with the military and that's game over for him.

Likes of obaseki got away with it because he had the state assembly on his side and Edo people hated godfatherism.
On the other hand, Lagos people love their godfather and see ambode as a ungrateful pest who wants to bit the hand that fed him.

Sincerely he had little option if he had any at all.

Dikastan:
I don't know what these guys see in UK

It's the easiest 'developed country' to migrate and work.
Other developed countries have tougher barriers.

seguno2:
Why should he/you brag about his language when you DEMONISE the culture and religion that is intertwined with it

Why would you have faith in oruka if you are also a Christian? You don’t even understand yourself

Mr Man culture is dynamic.
Your ancestors never ate indomie, why do u eat it?
Your ancestors used herbs and local traditional healers to treat ailment. Do u frequent them or visit the hospital.

English people were once pagan b4 becoming Christian. But they didn't change their language to Latin or koine Greek or Hebrew.

People should learn to think this things well, he no too hard.

SIRTee15:
So another apostolic father was evodius of Antioch.
He was the 2nd bishop of Antioch and actually coined the name Christianity. He was well known to Peter himself.
He died 69 AD and was succeeded by Ignatius.

.

Weepnow:
Jewessgratitud3, wait a minute.
Someone, a stranger, comes into your home and then forces or makes you the host, to learn his language so he can communicate with you, and you and most of our ancestors find nothing wrong with that.

Like seriously, one could call this a clear display of inferiority complex for lack of a better description.

The european union has about 30 members, despite their close proximity and limited land mass, how many of them use english or share any other language as official national language, yet one of their bosses referenced europe as a garden, being one of the most effective, efficient and collaborative societies on earth.
Besides some countries in europe have multiple official languages, upto 4 in certain cases.

Hope the next generation will not have to travel overseas to europe to learn about our culture through the eyes of foreigners.

English language in my view, could be designated as an additional language rather than official language

Whether u like it or not, English is the lingua Franca of the global world, possibly due to american influence. It's the language used in global commerce, business and politics.
In the United Nations, most speakers prefers to speak English if they choose not to speak their national language, same in European parliament.
If China and Russia govt official wants to have a closed door meeting today, they will speak English to each other across the table.

No one forced u to speak English, it's the reality of today's world.
Besides what official la guage do u want a multi ethnic nation like Nigeria to adopt as official language? Yoruba or hausa, and u think the rest will jump at it.
Your argument will make small sense if Nigeria is divided into mono ethnic independent entities, but the question is how many entities because Nigeria has over 50 official languages.

There's nothing wrong sending the kids on errands since they also benefit from it. We all went on errands for uncles and aunts when we were young so I don't understand the big deal some hypocrites here are yapping about.
Feeding 6 extra mouths in today's Nigeria is not a joke, and if the compensation is getting the kids to do little things for her, what's the issue here?
Calling the mum to ask her daughter to go on errand may be far fetched but doesn't deserve the attack on go on this forum

DomPerignon:
It started in Anambra.

Are you happy ?

House nigga get out of here!!
Yapping over anti Jewish rhetoric but cant even stand for what's true about his own people.
U are big shame.

DomPerignon:
You have to ask how many were brought and who brought them in .

Secondly , you must remember that male slaves were first in high demand until abolition commenced and female slaves were being imported into Amerikkka to boost local supply.

In Argentinia, the slaves were negligible in amount compared to that of neighbouring Brazil were all the Jewish cash crop plantations were located.

Argentina has a temperate climate and not suitable for cash crop plantation.
The early settlers were mostly into cattle breeding that did not require large amount or any slaves for that matter


Also most slaves imported were domestic servants to Jewish settlers and there were hardly any females.

The few slaves died out because they could not breed.

That's the real reasons why there are hardly any slave descendants in Argentina because there were not as much slaves imported and there were no breeding programs like in Brazil and the US.

You talking nonsense.
Which African slaves in South America developed tango.
How can u have a vibrant culture if u don't thrive as a people.
You are nothing but an uncle Tom- house nigga.

There are over 140,000 afro Argentines today, that's in no way insignificant, that's enough to fill a town.
They develop the popular tango dance which originated from the rhythmic dance steps of the west African coastal region.

DomPerignon:
Tango is Afro-Spanish heritage that spread across South America.

Don't spew trash you don't have a clue of.

Argentina is mostly composed of Italian and German settlers but they speak Spanish.

Messi has German roots.

Does speaking Spanish down play their German and Italian roots?

Tango started from which South American country?
Good thing u already admitted it's afro-spanish heritage.
Answer the question and expose your own folly here...

DomPerignon:
Rubbish.


There were hardly any slaves in Argentina .

This is one of the biggest lies ever sold by Jews against Argentinians.

Modern day Argentinians are mostly drawn from Italian and German settlers

These settlers kicked against institutional slavery and also saw to expulsion of many Jewish criminals who operated brothels .

They not only opposed slavery on a matter of morality and principle but also dealt a heavy blow to organised Jewish crime syndicates.


It's for this reason Jews have been slandering Argentinians for years plus the fact they want to steal their land.

Were there blacks brought from Africa living in Argentina in the 19th century? Yes or No?

Tell me about the origin of tango? Where did dance called tango come from?

Maybe she entered USA with a Russian passport. She will definitely be called russian. But the fact that she identified with her culture, then Yoruba people can claim her. Not sure if she identifies as Nigerian though.

Maynmann:
Maynman father is a Fool, the only reason why he wrote it in Aramaic is because that's the language those people could read it.

Pilate was suppose to write it only in Greek and Latin, as he would for other criminals. Was Pilate only executing Jews?

John 19:20 repeated this, MANY OF THE JEWS READ THIS TITLE FOR THE PLACE WHERE JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED WAS NEAR THE CITY.
WHOSE CITY? Acts 1:18-19 answers it
Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

Do you think if Pilate didn't write it in Aramaic, the Jews would have complained?
John 19:21?

YOUR FATHER IS A FOOL YOU THIS BASTARD CHILD.

LordReed:
It would be better for you to have that discussion yourself in the comments section of the video.

Sincerely I don't have time for deluded people like them. I engaged with u because u brought it here.
I watched the video and same repetitive claim that has been convincingly dealt with by bible scholars. I've watched so many of such videos it's becoming boring.
People are free to believe what makes them happy. It's a free world.

Even here I'm beginning to ignore some obstinate characters. Once I bring factual evidence and u begin to waffle or talk offpoint or engage in whataboutism, I ignore u.
If I bring evidence and u insist on your meaningless claim in the face of irrefutable facts, I simply put u in ignore mode.
Life is not too hard. U can choose to believe whatever fits your fancy, don't just be a nuisance.

LordReed:
The video author responded.

Ask him why was Mathew written in the 3rd person.
Why should he claim someone named Luke is not a gentile when Luke is derived from the latin name Lucas. Luke is not a native Hebrew name.
If he's not a gentile, then the only possible option is he's an Hellenistic Jew which means he can could speak greek. And since he's a doctor, then he should be able to write good greek.

The idea that Jesus disciples are all illiterate is ridiculous. Philip and Andrew spoke to Greeks in the book of John.

The assumption that Roman officials would employ non greek speaking Jew to work for them doesn't make much sense. So are they going to employ another person to interpret the tax calculation of Mathew from Aramaic to Greek?
Why would they employ 2 persons to do the same job.
Or are we to assume Romans officials could read aramaic? Is that the standard for colonial officers to be literate in the language of their colony? How feasible would that be since they are transferred to different colonies regularly?

And the idea that Palestinian population are greek illiterate is largely unfounded in the bible.
Pontus pilate wrote the inscription on the cross of Jesus in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. Why would he write in Greek if there are insignificant greek literate Palestinians?
Who were the target audience of the Greek inscription.

Peter is assumed to be illiterate and couldn't speak greek, but he got Silas to write the 1st Peter letter for him which means Silas translated the dictation in Greek.
Why can't the same be done for gospel of John. Except we want to assume Peter could speak greek. And if Peter could speak greek why can't John?
As u can see, the video is just a merry go round circus, garnished with personal opinion. Little or no factual evidence. Too many assumptions.

Angelfrost:
5 Million Naira is about 4000 USD... Are you saying 99% of American men don't have 4000 in their bank accounts??!

99% of Nigerian men basically cover all the working and hustling men in Nigeria...! That is a poor and sweeping generalization that is completely unfounded.

You people think life begins and ends on Social media... Go into the real world, ask questions, do real research, and see how silly you think.

Cut the cap bro
99% of Nigerian men don't have 4000 dollars in their bank account. It's not an insult but the truth.
As for Americans, I know 24 million Americans are tagged millionaires, and 19% of Americans are upper class. 4000 dollars should not be a problem for this class.

LordReed:
Yeah I want to post them in the comments section of the video.

Oh I didn't know that's what u meant. Feel free to do so.

LordReed:
Do you mind if I post your objections into the comments section or will you do it yourself?

My objection or his objection? Anyway feel free to post it here.
However pls look at my 2nd mention to u, I already explained some of the objections the video raised.

What did the early church fathers say about the Johannine works.
There was no doubt about the authorship of 1 John amongst the church fathers. John the apostle wrote it.
Even until 19th century, the general acceptance among scholars was the gospel of John and 1 John was written by same author.

At the end of the 19th century scholar Ernest DeWitt Burton wrote that there could be "no reasonable doubt" that 1 John and the gospel were written by the same author due to similarity in content, language and conceptual style

The Muratorian cannon also affirmed the authorship of 1 John to be John the apostle.
