again stop projecting your problems on me, when did I tell you I'm against Peter Obi?? What makes you think all Yorubas are in support of Tinubu or all Yorubas must be in support of your Obi? Why would you generalize a whole ethnic group because of some people that don't agree with you politically? Have you not been on Twitter to see how a lot of Yorubas are supporting Obi? "You are mostly peaceful and hardworking" and still you people have problems with your hosts all around the world.
The question should be directed to you, how am I a tribalist?

You claim that Anambra and imo that couldn't even have IGR up to Ondo has a bigger GDP than Ogun and I corrected you and asked for the proof but you keep saying the same nonsense and projecting your hate on me. I'm still waiting for the 2022 NBS stats on the GDP of each states.

Oga, are you following this thread or are you drunk.
In all my posts, I have never attacked Yorubas. But when you guys start a tribalistic thread like this, you obviously have an Igbo problem.

BanyXchi:
you're the tribalistic biased person here, not impressive but still better than SE in all spheres of life, send me the GDP of each states, don't bother to send me anything that is not from NBS abuja.

Anambra and Imo have bigger GDPs than any SW state outside Lagos.
Now, how am I a tribalist? This thread is about returning Peter Obi to Anambra state. You guys are extreme tribalist. You are angry that a non Yoruba aspires to be president.
What have we ever done to you. We are mostly peaceful and hardworking businessmen but tribalist like you are not comfortable with our presence.
The Igbo's have never offended the Yoruba so keep hating yourself.

sonmvayina:
If you see me interpreting your grand father's religion to somebody else and see your brother doing the same, who do you think will be nearer to the true interpretation?

My brother knows nothing about my grandfather's religion.
On the other hand a complete stranger who isn't from my town might have carried out study on my grandfather's religion and would be in a better position to teach his grandchildren.
The modern Jews have zero advantage in knowing what occured 100s of years ago in their land.
Just like everyone of us, they need to read to learn 5hesr facts. Speaking with a Jew is of no importance.

BanyXchi:
you don't even know me and you keep projecting the 'you have not traveled'... The NBS has not done any stats on GDP of each states since 2017 but you must be very deluded to compare both states to Ogun. Ogun has more IGR than the whole of iboland.

Actually it does for 2022. The SW is clearly no where impressive. And no one who has traveled can have your ideas and tribalism.

shortgun:
I've done alot to help this country, I have sleepless nights for her sake.

Sleepless nights are your personal problem. They don't change anything.

shortgun:
Will you volunteer to be among the 5 men I need to rewrite the history of this country?

I have no reason to be part of your team. If you want people to follow you, you need to prove yourself.

BanyXchi:
that is it, I've been across the country and being to several sane countries to know that the country as a whole is poor and not developed, but this doesn't change the fact that some places/regions in the country are more better and saner than other regions. Only a biases low IQ degenerate will compare the SW to SE, the only state I've not been to is Imo, the SE still remains the poorest in the south, wdym by you have been to major Yoruba 'towns' and none is impressive? You better not tell me you're from states like Enugwu or Abia. SW has a larger IGR, GDP and HDI than your region even though you enjoy more FAAC per capita than them. You're not impressed but Ogun state literally har more IGR than the whole of SE. Your region is very small(almost the same landmass with Oyo) and still less urbanized than SW.... Your flagship state Anambra has the same IGR with Ondo but you are less impressed loool, your people are literally jumping on midnight buses to live in my region. Oyo is better than all your states in all spheres of life, Imo does not have anything even with all the 13% derivative the state is getting, what's in imo state except from hotels and restaurants? You must be a clown to compare anambla and imo to Ogun. Instead of being concerned about SW where your people flee to everyday, focus on your region, I don't understand the obsession you people have with Yorubas, you rarely see Omoluabis going to your region except from Corpers and some few illiterate tailors that goes there weekly.

You have shown your ignorance. You obviously have not traveled. The GDP of Anambra and Imo is bigger than any state in SW except for Lagos so what are you talking about.

shortgun:
....yet they have the second biggest economy in the world and their young men have a future.
Is the US not working?
Is your country working?

That is the point, your problem is not frail old men.
The thing is that any coward can post anything on social media. What have you done outside social media?

Octopusssy:
Did you consult God when you chose your life partner?

It's too late for that now isn't it. God is not to blame for the choices of his wife.

saintrow1:
You have a very low IQ, learn to keep to the topic, who is talking about the UK here or any part of the world and what gives you the impression that I'm in Nigeria. The passport I have can get me into almost any country in the world. So what gives you guys the impression that everyone here on nairaland is poor or from a village. Going out or traveling around the world as nothing to do with tribalism. For you to be claiming another mans land, telling a yoruba man that his land doesn't belong to him or manipulating other peoples history is pure hate and tribalism. You can't live in yorubaland, breath in yoruba air, make your daily bread in yorubaland and still hate your host. You ibos are tribalist and you all derserve a place in hell.
Just because you live in yorubaland and do business doesn't mean you have developed or contributed to nothing because nobody force you to come to yorubaland rather be grateful that we yorubas gave you the platform, the privilege and grace to eat crumbs from our table. You can't get the same opportunity in your iboland even for the next 300 years. Go to Dubai, do you think all that development was done by the people of Dubai, hell NO. It was don't by foreign investors from all over the world. The wealthy arabs and Muslims, the Chinese, the Russians, africans, Americans etc. The other day I was watching a show about an indian rich man who is a developer in dubai and the man is not the only indian in dubai pumping investing there. How come indians are not going around telling the people of dubai that dubai is a no mans land, or dubai now belongs to indians. The amount of money rich indians have invested in dubai, iboland will never see that investment in the next 300 years. The people of dubai made that place attractive that is why investors and rich people are there.
Our yoruba forefathers did their homework before Nigeria even started. We have been using Eko (lagos) as a maritime hub and commercial centre although oyo state was the economic power house of yorubaland. Yorubas have been conducting foreign trade with the Europeans before anyone in Nigeria. Yorubas have been studying in England before 19th century. What were your useless forefather doing then, absolutely nothing. They did nothing to secure your future. You ingrates now want to claim the hard work of others all because of one scam "one Nigeria" and useless constitution. Look go and sit down and hide your face. You have no facts to talk about here. Tribalism is part of ibos culture and way of life. That is why people have problems with you guys everywhere you go. See south Africa today, you ibos have caused so much damage in that country and other nigerians are suffering from the consequence of your madness. How I wish the federal government can allow you parasites to go and start your biafra. By the way majority of you ibos make wealth from criminal activities so don't come here to brag about hard work or you work for anything. ibos and fulanis are the same, you 2 love claiming another mans land. Let me tell you this right, you ibos can only talk this trash about yorubaland online. I'm yet to see any ibo man that have the balls to say it to my face. Cowards will always look for a comfort zone to express their madness.

I couldn't read all you wrote but let me react to the first 3 paragraphs I read.

You are the one who gives the impression that you are from an uncivilized place and you have never traveled.

If you have, you would know that Anambra and Imo have bigger GDPs than any SW state outside Lagos. Despite Oyo's greater population and the large numbers of multi national companies in Ogun, Anambra and Imo have superior economies. And this is despite lossing everything in a war. That's why I said you should travel.
You think everyone is backwards but when you travel, you would have a change of mind.

I have travel extensively and I can't boast of anywhere in Nigeria because I know the meaning of true development.
I have been to every major Yoruba town outside Lagos. And I can tell you that none of them is impressive in any way. If you have traveled, you would agree with me

HedwigesMaduro:
Shhhh. Pls don't let him know. Let him continue in his ignorance.

DamnnNiggarr:
What is that habit or addiction that you have been battling or battled for long, with almost every of the resources available to you, but it still looks like the habit is winning, that you can't go awhile without engaging in it? and that sometimes, you wish God could just be overlooking it and not count it as a sin against you?

Mine is WRATH
Supposing, I was given the opportunity to see God face-to-face to make a request, and God asked me to choose a habit/sin that I would want to be deleted from the list of sins, without batting an eyelid, I will immediately choose WRATH.

Anger is one habit that has held me down for long, which I've battled with almost all the resources available to me, it's sometimes causes a great issue between me and the members of my family or the public, most of the time, I'll curse the hell out of my wife, family member or any person, at a slightest provocation. I lost a great contract deal at one time as a result of this issue of anger because the client said what I didn't want to hear.

Sometimes, I would be tempted to engage in activities that would help me stay away from things that cause one to be angered and be happy at all times such as womanizing, alcoholism and gluttony, but as God would have it, I've controlled myself not to indulge in such types of activities as they reduce one to a piece of bread.

Please house, for those that have been and successfully gotten out of this issue, how did you do it? What magic did you you apply to overcome it?

Please help a brother.

learn to confess to God and not on social media. Only God can help you not man.

Corrections:
Although established that food is an important substance any human would need in the course of his / her journey on Earth , yet it's not the major reason for our existence. While some Live To Eat others Eat To Live.

Therefore, it is important to know the difference between " to live to eat and eat to live . "'

Proverbs 13: 25

The good man eats to live while the evil man lives to eat.

To eat to live, is to live to fulfill the purpose of God ( which is good and not evil ) towards you on Earth. The food here serves as energy to run the race day by day fulfilling God's purpose for your live. Take for example, Elijah was given food by God so that he could travel to receive messages from God.

1king 19: 5-9


5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” 6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.

7 The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey ( a journey of purpose that brought Elisha to replace Elijah and installed a new king ) is too much for you.” 8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. In summary we can say here that Elijah ate to live for God's interest alone ( not Satan's interest )

To Eat to Live is to live to eat away your live without discharging God's purpose ( which is good and not evil ) while on Earth. If you are not discharging the purpose of God for your life, definitely you must have been discharging ( the opposite ) the purpose of satan Jesus said....

Matthew 4:4

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Jesus said live not on bread alone, but on God's word ( instructions/ direction ). Here Jesus didn't say we should live on Satan's word.

To live to eat here means the person involved is using the food he/she eats to do evil on a day by day bases in the course of his or her journey on Earth.

Proverbs 4:17

17 They eat the food of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.

The purpose of God for us is to EAT TO LIVE (to fulfill God's purpose not Satan's purpose on Earth ). May we not come to this world in vain LIVING TO EAT ALONE . Amen!



HOW TO CONNECT TO GOD

ACCEPT, BELIEVE AND FOLLOW JESUS.

John14:6
Jesus told him ' I am the way-
Yes, and the truth and the life. No one can GET to the father (GOD) except by means of me (JESUS ).

John14:1
Let not your heart be troubled. You are trust in God now trust in me ( JESUS ).


John15:23
Anyone that is hating me ( JESUS )
is hating the father (GOD)

Colossian 2: 10
So you have everything when you have christ and you are filled with GOD through your union with CHRIST. He is the highest RULER, with authority over every other power

The only people that live to eat are those with an eating disorder or those in extreme poverty.
It's not a spiritual problem.

sonmvayina:
The Tanakh belongs to the Jews.

Try making friends with one..


He will open your eyes...

You are wrong again.
Making friends with a Jew is completely unnecessary.
The bible does not belong to them. It's an open source for everyone.
The bible was written by the ancestors of the present Jews. This does not give the present Jews any more insight than anyone.
It's just like asking the descendants of slavery what it felt like to walk on a Cotton field in Georgia.
Just because your ancestors had an experience don't not give you greater understanding.
My grandfather was a traditional worshipper yet I know next to nothing about his religion.

shortgun:
End sars was not the answer

Yes but have you ever led a protest in your life. Talk is cheap.

shortgun:
The nonchalant attitude of most men in Nigeria is the number one reason the country is continuously retrogressive decade after decade.
Nigerian men are the most docile, most submissive and most fearful men in the whole world.

There's no where else in the world where frail looking old wrinkled men control 100% of the nation's wealth at the detriment of strong,Young and able bodied men.
These old men have continually enslaved the so called leaders of tomorrow that will never lead..... feeding them only crumbs.

Nigerian men have all the power to make the country great but they are mostly cowards who are scared and will shit in their underwears at the sound of a locally made gun.

Nigerian men are cowards who are always afraid to die yet they are dieing daily.

If I can find only 5 men who are willing to die today this country will become great again.

In the US, frail looking old men hold all the power and wealth.

sonmvayina:
Lol..I asked the people that owns it and that was the answer I got..

So I think I am right..

I don't know what you are taking about when you say the people that own it. But then in an argument, everyone believes he is right.

sonmvayina:
I said the bible is an oracle..

You read it and learn the message in it...

It is not a history textbook...

Alright, good your opinion. We really had nothing to argue about.

sonmvayina:
He did not tell me..

The authors said he said it.....

The author never met jesus or any one that has met him.
He was just writing a fictional story...He ner said he believed his story or how the story affected his life..

Why should I bother myself.

I only follow the laws of my creator..

Now you are clearly confused. If you believe the bible is frictional then all your formal arguments were uncalled for.
Your only purpose was to waste my time.

sonmvayina:
Bible has already told you that God is not a man.
The writters used human attribute to describe God most times..just so you can have an idea.

The bible is an oracle...not history

It is a spiritual manual not history textbook.

Jesus Christ called himself the son of Man. If Jesus Christ told you he is the son of man then where is your argument?

sonmvayina:
Bible has already told you that God is not a man.
The writters used human attribute to describe God most times..just so you can have an idea.

The bible is an oracle...not history

It is a spiritual manual not history textbook.

Please answer the above question. You seem to be repeating you arguments.

[quote author=sonmvayina post=118524539]It is a metaphor....

You no go school,

Stop taking text out of context [/quote
Just because you call it a metaphor does not make it a metaphor.
Since you claim to go to school, can you tell how to identify metaphors in the English language?

sonmvayina:
If Numbers says God is not a man or human being...this point has to be true through out the bible..if somebody says god became man just know the person is lying...

God is the creator of heaven and earth. He is outside of creation. He can't be part of creation. It does not make any sense..

It's all about context. A verse called God a mighty man in battle. In another verse Christ is the son of Man.So we have enough verses that refer to God as man.

sonmvayina:
For a point to be right...

It has to be true everywhere in the Bible...

Number 23:19 say god is not a man ..that was why he was sending prophets...they where his mouth peice..

For a point to be right, it doesn't have to be everywhere in the bible. In fact, no one point is everywhere in the bible

saintrow1:
The constitution only allows you to live anywhere you want in Nigeria without being intimidated or harassed. The constitution did not say that you can go to another mans region or state and claim ownership of it. You can build anywhere you want at your own risk. This is facts not hate, whenever you people can't deal with facts, you will starting talking trash to change the topic. I'm a full blooded Yoruba man, Half egba and awori. So I have nothing to hate from a scavengers like you. Yorubaland is my home and I'm proud of what my forefathers have done to develop Yoruba man by making it a peaceful, progressive and prosperous land. It is not my fault that yours were useless. When Yoruba elders were making strategic moves, yourself were foolishly sleeping. Whatever you own in yorubaland is not guarantee. Law and policies can change anytime. Let me remind you ingrate. After the civil war, the north refused to allow IBO's to access their investment and properties in the north as a punishment for the war. Tell me any court or law that helped them to get it back, absolutely non. You guys are doomed and its too late to know that.

The last time I checked, you don't go to jail for claiming ownership of anywhere in Nigeria.
The way you talk about Yoruba land one would think you were describing the UK.
Oga you need to travel and see other places. If you travel you would be less tribalistic. With the exception of Lagos, the rest of Yoruba land is just as depressing as most parts of Nigeria.
I have nothing to be grateful to you for. Everything the Igbo's have we worked for. You are really dumb, you want me to be grateful because you did not steal my property, does that even make sense.
I have been to and done business in every single state in Yoruba land. I have contributed more to the development of the land than you and most Yorubas. So who the hell are you to dictate terms for me.

sonmvayina:
It does....you giving me another passage means it is not true...
It is not consistent...

how do you mean

Janosky:
2 Screenshots from Strong's Concordance for Greek lexicon 1722 (referenced by your quotecosmos website) have given a thorough explanation of the lexicon meaning of your screenshot.
Did you accept their explanation?
You refused and REJECTED the truth explained by Strong's Concordance screenshots evidences

The word "by" ( @Colossians 1:16 referencing Hebrews 1:2, John 1:3 in the screenshots) is a preposition denoting position and INSTRUMENTALITY.

Una say Jesus nah 2nd person, him no be Almighty.
Also, Jesus is an INSTRUMENTALITY of the Almighty Creator.

Shikena.

Ok, you are saying you don't believe what I sent you and it is wrong because it does not interpret things the exact way your websites do right?
