This very yesterday, CNN still gave out news how tourism sector and Vehicle manufacturers suffering, last December, news came out the amount of dollars, madman gave out to USA farmers, because of economy loss they suffer as a result of foolish man policy in helm of affairs.

Wen a man too obsessed with a wicked leader, even wen such leader ask him to open mouth, he would gladly open it to (pu Pu) inside it.

Fastest-Growing G7 Economies in 2025 (Projections)
Ranked from highest to lowest projected real GDP growth for 2025 (based on IMF October 2025 World Economic Outlook and consistent with OECD/Consensus forecasts):

United States — ~2.0%
Strong consumer spending, tech/AI investment, and labor market resilience drive the highest growth among G7.
United Kingdom — ~1.3%
Upgraded forecasts reflect recovery from earlier stagnation, supported by lower inflation and some fiscal support.
Canada — ~1.2%
Solid but slower than US; energy exports and domestic demand help, though trade uncertainty weighs in.
Japan — ~1.1%
Modest recovery with inflation and wage gains, but aging population and export reliance limit upside.
France — ~0.7–0.8%
Moderate growth from services and tourism, but fiscal constraints and energy costs hold it back.
Italy — ~0.5%
Weak due to high debt, slow productivity, and manufacturing challenges.
Germany — ~0.2%
Near-stagnant; export-dependent economy hit by trade slowdowns, energy transition costs, and weak global demand.

You are welcome

Inflation is far lower than where Biden left it. Income is growing and GDP is mind blowing.

If Trump es a mistake, what would you call Tinubu?
In Nigeria, inflation is growing faster than wages. Violent crime is exploding. Businesses are disappearing but Trump is the mistake

it is rude to answer a question with a question.

please, The apostles are characters in the same story book. if not why did no one else mentions them?
Could you answer the exact same question for 99% of ancient historians? Why are you creating a different standard for the Apostles.

Again, you are wrong about the Apostles. The new testament is a collection of independent books so most of the apostles were mentioned by at least 4 independent writers which most ancient historians can't boast of.

How many ancient historians wrote about Josephus? Peter on the other hand had at least 5 independent historians write about him.
Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all wrote about him.

So how is Josephus a more authentic historical figure?
I believe I have answered your question now can you please answer the question I posted in my earlier post?

See, you are still talking about The Plan while I have said that I am referring to the implementation. So I believe we can both appreciate the angles of differences.
If your point is that Jesus Christ came thousands of years after He was preordained to sacrifice for sin, then I agree.
My only point is that our Father in heaven chose Jesus Christ to save us before the foundation of the world
Christianity Etc › Re: The Entire Bible In One Minute by tctrills: 10:08pm On Jan 17
Dtruthspeaker:
I understand all you have been saying, it is the popular belief.

However, when we all read the Bible, the First time we all see God's Plan of sending Jesus clearly is in Deuteronomy 18:15 after God issued The Command of Sacrifice in Exodus.

So you are mixing up God's Personal Plan which He had in Mind with when He actually began the implementation of The Plan, which is what I am talking about.
Wrong
Your bible tells you that God's plan for Jesus Christ was preordained before the world was.
It happened before Deuteronomy was written

Please these are the words in your bible

Ephesians 1:4

For he chose us in him before the foundation of the world…

Please was Deuteronomy written before the world was formed?

Do we believe your Deuteronomy logic or do we believe the word of God?

Do you not appreciate what the word retrospective means?

It is not about chosen but about understanding of Law and Time.

There is no slaying of lamb if God had not commanded it. (Law).

And that took place in Exodus (Time).

And Jesus was slain in Matthew's period (Time again).

So, you cannot say a thing has happened when it has not yet happened. Even God used future tenses for things that are to happen (Law).

So, the purposes of all those verses is to prove that Christ was even there with God before the world was even created and that He is "our Lord God" (for those who God knew would pretend not to see and understand that Jesus is truly "our Lord and God and now Saviour)

And if you look at all the verses you quote, you see that they are all declarations made in the future talking about the past, the very meaning of the word "Retroactively".
So, a second reading of your post and I observed your lack of understanding. Let me explain it to you with just one question and answer.

When did the Father decide to send Jesus Christ to save mankind?

The answer according to the bible.

Before the foundation of the world.

Have I made it simple enough?

You really don't understand words. If something occured before the foundation of the world then your retrospective is dead.

If Christ is the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world then His Sacrifice was commanded, endorsed and planned by God before Exodus was written

I gave you other verses that used words like preordained or predestined to explain it.

Please read the verses before your next response.

We are looking at the presence and awareness of good and evil vs the absence of the awareness of good and evil to see if they have the same effect and consequences.

And there we can see that the answer is clear. For as long as Adam male and female never knew about good and evil, they were never found nor held guilty of any wrongdoing just like toddlers and little children.

But, like every one else in the world they became liable and culpable as soon as they knew good and evil what we is called mens rea

robosky02:
CAF has crossed the line. This is no longer incompetence — it’s deliberate bias.

For today’s AFCON 2025 Third-Place Match, CAF has shockingly appointed a Moroccan referee 🇲🇦 to handle a game involving Nigeria 🇳🇬, just days after Morocco benefited from disgraceful officiating in the semifinals.

⚽ AFCON 2025 – Third Place Match
🇪🇬 Egypt 🆚 Nigeria 🇳🇬
🏟️ Mohammed V Stadium
⏰ 5:00 p.m

Match Officials:
Referee: Jalal Jayed 🇲🇦
Assistant Referee 1: Zakaria Brinsi 🇲🇦
Assistant Referee 2: Akarkad Mostafa 🇲🇦
Assistant Referee 3: Hassani Khalil 🇹🇳
Fourth Official: Peter Waweru Kamaku 🇰🇪
VAR: Lahlou Benbraham 🇩🇿
Assistant VAR 1: Haythem Guirat 🇹🇳
Assistant VAR 2: Hamza El Fariq 🇲🇦
Referee Assessor: Sinko Zeli 🇨🇮

Let it be clear:
👉 Four Moroccans 🇲🇦 are directly involved in officiating this match, including the center referee and VAR.
👉 This is a high-stakes game featuring the Super Eagles 🇳🇬, yet CAF couldn’t find a truly neutral officiating team across Africa?
👉 After sending an inexperienced Ghanaian referee 🇬🇭 to oversee a semifinal that favored Morocco, CAF now doubles down by putting a Moroccan in charge again.

This is not coincidence.
This is systematic favoritism.
This is institutional manipulation.

CAF’s actions are a slap in the face to Nigeria 🇳🇬, to Egypt 🇪🇬, and to every nation that believes African football should be fair. How can African football grow when results appear influenced before kick-off?

And the biggest question remains:
Of what use is the NFF 🇳🇬 if it cannot defend Nigerian football, protest injustice, or protect the Super Eagles when it matters most?

CAF is eroding trust, damaging its own credibility, and embarrassing African football before the world.
Oga learn to lose with dignity. You lost to a far better team. You were fortunate to play goalless, but you lost in a penalty shootout.

Go and sit down jor. America is a struggling 3rd world country that only depends on violence to stay relevant. Their only language is destruction. Their innovative era is over and they can never compete. They know it, the world knows it.
Let me try to educate you on innovation

The top 10 countries ranked by patent quality and impact in scientific, engineering, and medical fields (as of 2025 data, primarily from WIPO's World Intellectual Property Indicators 2025, Global Innovation Index 2025, and related analyses) shift focus from sheer volume (where China dominates) to indicators like:

Patent citations per patent (forward citations measure influence and technological impact)
Patent family size (broader international filings indicate higher value/strategic importance)
Patent-to-GDP ratio (efficiency and economic relevance)
Triadic patents (filed in US, Europe, and Japan—proxy for high-quality, global protection)
Grant rates, foreign-oriented families, and innovation ecosystem strength (e.g., university-industry ties, R&grin quality)

China leads in quantity but ranks lower in these quality metrics due to a higher proportion of domestic, lower-impact filings. The US, Switzerland, and several European/Nordic countries excel in quality and impact, especially in medical/biotech and advanced engineering.
Top 10 Ranking by Patent Quality & Impact (2025 Consensus)

Switzerland — Tops many quality metrics (e.g., highest patent-to-GDP ratio at ~1,506 per $100B GDP; leads in high-value pharma/medical patents via companies like Novartis/Roche; strong international families and citations).
United States — Leads in high-impact citations, triadic patents, and medical/biotech/engineering breakthroughs (e.g., highest granted AI/medical patents with strong citation impact; dominates in forward citations and global influence).
Sweden — High patent-to-GDP (~1,015); excels in engineering, medical tech, and quality filings (strong in PCT families and innovation clusters).
Finland — Very high patent-to-GDP (~1,331); strong in engineering and tech with high-quality, international protection.
Germany — Leads Europe in engineering/medical patents; high patent-to-GDP (~1,241) and strong citation impact (e.g., via Siemens/Bosch in advanced engineering).
Netherlands — High patent-to-GDP (~693); excels in medical devices/engineering (e.g., ASML in semiconductors); wide geographical coverage in families.
Japan — Strong in precision engineering/robotics/medical tech; high-quality citations and active families (despite volume decline, remains high-impact per patent).
Denmark — High patent-to-GDP (~802); leads in biotech/medical innovations with strong global impact.
South Korea — High in engineering/semiconductors; improving quality metrics and citations (e.g., Samsung/LG in high-impact tech).
Austria — High patent-to-GDP (~658); strong in engineering and medical fields with quality filings.

Key Notes

Quality vs. Quantity: China ranks #1 in volume (PCT filings ~70,000+) and some medical/engineering areas but lower in per-patent citations/family breadth (more domestic focus). The US often leads in "impact" (e.g., citations and commercial value in medical/biotech).
Medical/Engineering Focus: Switzerland/US/Germany dominate pharma/biotech; US/Japan/South Korea lead in engineering/AI-related patents with higher impact.
Sources: Primarily WIPO 2025 indicators (e.g., patent-to-GDP, abroad filings, families), GII 2025 (innovation quality), and analyses like IFI CLAIMS/EPO data on citations/families.

This ranking prioritizes qualitative impact over raw numbers—exact positions can vary slightly by metric (e.g., citations vs. family size). For specific subfields (e.g., only medical patents), the US/Switzerland often top lists.

The verse is saying retroactively. See it starts first by talking about the origin and inheritance of sin before stating that Jesus had always been there before us only that in the course of time He is manifest.
No need to debate simple English with you. So it talks about the origin and inheritance of sin before stating that Christ was the Lamb slain for sin before the foundations of the world, and you still do not know that Christ was chosen to pay the price of sin before the world was created? I cant help you more than this.

But here are a few more verses to help you.

Ephesians 1:4

For he chose us in him before the foundation of the world…

Believers are chosen in Christ, which means Christ Himself is already established as the chosen One before creation.

2 Timothy 1:9

This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.

Grace is given in Christ before time, implying Christ’s role is already fixed.

Titus 1:2

..in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time.

Eternal life is promised before time, and the NT consistently teaches it is given through Christ.

Isaiah 46:10

I make known the end from the beginning…

God’s actions in time are decided beforehand, which the NT applies to Christ’s mission.

John 17:5

“And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”

Christ existed before creation and shared divine glory, which supports pre-creation appointment.

This is not true.

We have all done things by our choice that we do not know whether it is good or evil eg traveling to see a certain person or giving a certain person money but we are not sure whether it is good or evi.

We all see Adam used his choice to give names and he did not know whether he was doing good or evil.

So, your answer is not correct
We are talking about the choice between good and evil, not the choice to go to the toilet or not. Please update yourself on the topic.

I cannot speak for everyone but no wonder Africa is so backward when you place so much energy on a state God created but you will not look for attributes that come with self development.
According to you, Africa is backwards because we encourage our women to be chaste and to maintain a high degree of moral uprightness. With people like you, we would continue to copy only the worst from the West and do away with our great moral attributes. How about we hold on to that which we have that is good and copy only the good stuff from the whites.

My brother, I have had 3 kids now all grown up. So, I understand babies well. I'm not talking about instructions but talking about you acting on them with force. He's indeed not a robot, and I never said so. I said he's next to... Because he's just so 'maleable'.
Since you have 3 kids, you should be the first to know that babies are the opposite of robots. I would not press on this any further. Being maleable doesn't make one a robot. A robot has no desire of its own than to do the will of its owner. I can bet that your 3 kids were the opposite of that as babies.

They actually have good as their nature. They dongood by nature, not by knowledge. Their minds tends towards doing good without pandering towards evil at all. We still have a measure of that state even now.
Now you are the one making Adam and Eve programmed like robots. You seem to be saying that they were programmed to do good, hence making them robots. But if that was the case, why was the fruit called the tree of knowledge of good and evil, why not just the tree of knowledge of evil since they already knew good?

For example, if someone offends you, you mayy.neve4 think of murder, no matter the gravity of the offence, there are some people who might think of murder just because of the same offense. There are still people who will never think of murder. The idea would never think of murder at all. It will never even cross their minds until a very wicked person suggests it like Satan did Eve. They know that murder exists but they'll never even think of doing it. It won't ever occur to them to do to it until someone else starts telling them how right and easy for them to do it.
Yes, I agree that they did not have any evil intentions, just like innocent babies. But that changed when they ate the fruit. Now, if evil never came into their mind, let's go back to how our discussion began.
Remember, you wrote these very words,
This is why evil exists. There's evil because we're not zombies. We can choose an action and the opposite of the action as we please. And that's what makes life meaningful and worth living.
So if evil never entered the hearts of our first parents, they would never have been able to choose between good and bad. They would have only been left with good, and that isn't a choice.
And as you said, life would not be meaningful and worth living

You have not been able to show that weather has anything to do with suicide rates.
