Politics / Re: Who Are You Fighting? - Obi Questions LP Factional Chairman Abure by telleyway: 3:07pm On Sep 10
JASONjnr:
Definitely fighting for attention y, you deprived him....

You decided to speak up because his faction delist you from automatic ticket for presidential candidacy.

You've noticed the division and how it will affect your chances come 2027 and you decided to speak up.

Even if you are paid to blackmail someone, try to at least convince your readers with a sound argument. Now answer these questions:
1) what was the position of labour party before Peter Obi peached his tent there? Suffice to say whatever labour party have now have recourse to Obi
2) will labour party win even a counselor if Obi decides to leave it now?
3) who do you think labour party will give ticket to if Obi is still there and willing to contest?

Religion / Reno Taught By Fr. Chinaka Justin Mbaeri, OSJ by telleyway: 9:39am On Aug 16
AN OPEN CORRECTION TO Reno Omokri $10,000 challenge: Understanding the Greek Terms Θεόν and Θεὸς in John 1:1

Dear Mr. Reno, My attention was drawn to your post last night, where you attempted to correct one Oluoha on the Trinity and even pledged $10,000, as you often do, but ended up in a theological fallacy. You made many claims in that post, which I hope to correct later. However, one of your claims caught my attention and it refers to your fallacious eisegesis (the interpretation of a biblical text by reading into it one's own ideas) of John 1:1, claiming that “the words translated God are 'Θεόν and Θεὸς.' They are two different words. One of them, Θεόν, refers to He who sits on the Throne. The other, Θεὸς refers to God, but not He who sits on the Throne. It is the word you use for sons of God who sits on the Throne.”

Sadly, you have used this argument for a long time and it seemed that no one had called you to order or corrected you. Today, I stand to debunk your false claims and correct you. Also, dear friends, if you are reading this post, I crave your indulgence to patiently read till the end. I have numbered the points to make the reading easier:

Now, returning to John 1:1, the original Greek text reads: Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος, καὶ ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος. (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God)

Let me break it down:
1. "πρὸς τὸν Θεόν" is translated as "with God": Here, every Greek scholar knows that the term “Θεόν” (God) is the accusative case of “Θεός,” (God) used because the preposition πρὸς (meaning "toward" or "with"wink requires an accusative form. This is called concordance. This phrase translates to "with God" and refers to the Father. In Biblical Greek studies, it can be understood that the accusative case simply shows the object of the preposition, and it doesn't imply a difference in nature or substance from the nominative case “Θεὸς” (God).

2. "καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος" (and God was the Word / or the Word was God): In this phrase, Θεὸς is in the nominative case because it is the subject of the clause. The nominative case is used to describe the nature or essence of the subject—in this case, ὁ Λόγος (the Word). This structure shows that the Word (Logos) shares the same divine nature as Θεός (God).

3. Unfortunately, you lack true knowledge of Biblical Greek, yet you claim that you read the Bible in original languages, particularly Greek, but embarrassed yourself when you attempted to defend yourself by saying that “the words translated God are 'Θεόν and Θεὸς.' They are two different words. One of them, Θεόν, refers to He who sits on the Throne. The other, Θεὸς refers to God, but not He who sits on the Throne.” If you (Mr. Reno) had known better you wouldn’t have used that porous argument.

4. Now, I'll demonstrate biblically that even the word “Θεὸς” which you claimed is not for the Father who sits on the Throne is frequently used for the same God the Father who sits on the throne. The difference between Θεὸς and Θεόν is not in their meaning but in their grammatical cases. Θεὸς is nominative, while Θεόν is accusative. Both refer to the same God, and the use of different cases is dictated by the structure of the sentences in Greek, not by a difference in identity or substance. Needless to say, Reno’s false argument that Θεὸς refers to a different being or a lesser divine entity is contradicted by other passages in the New Testament where Θεὸς clearly refers to the Father.

5. For example: in John 3:16, we read: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." The original Greek version reads: "Οὕτως γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ᾽ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον."

6. In 1 Corinthians 8:6, we read: "Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live…” The original Greek version also reads: "ἀλλ᾽ ἡμῖν εἷς Θεὸς ὁ Πατὴρ, ἐξ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς αὐτόν"

7. 1 Peter 1:3, we read: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!" The original Greek version also reads: "Εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ"

8. Now, this same word Θεὸς which we have seen referring to God the Father was equally used by Saint Thomas the Apostle to address Christ in John 20:28: “When Thomas sees the risen Christ, he exclaims, "My Lord and my God (Θεός)!" Here, Θεός is used in the nominative case to refer to Jesus, affirming His divinity in the same way Θεός is used in the nominative case for the Father.

9. And to further affirm this reality, God the Father in Hebrews 1:8 used the same word Θεός (God) to directly refer to His Son (our Lord Jesus Christ) affirming His divinity. That is, the Father also called Jesus God. Here’s the verse in English and original Greek version:
A. English: "But about the Son He says, 'Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever, a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.'"
B. Greek: "πρὸς δὲ τὸν υἱόν• Ὁ θρόνος σου, ὁ Θεός, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος τῆς εὐθύτητος ῥάβδος τῆς βασιλείας σου."

10. While Mr. Reno claims to know Greek and read Scripture in original Greek, what he does not know is that Greek, like many inflected languages, uses different cases to indicate the function of a noun, pronoun, or adjective in a sentence. There are five primary cases in Ancient Greek: Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, and Vocative.

A. NOMINATIVE: Subject or predicate nominative. Here God is written as Θεός (Theos) — used for the subject of a sentence. Example: Ὁ Θεός ἐστιν ἀγάπη. ("God is love."wink. This same spelling of God changes in other cases. A clear example is seen in John 1:1 and other verses I cited above in the original Greek version

B. GENITIVE: Possession, origin, relationship ("of" or "from"wink. Here, God is written as Θεοῦ (Theou) — used to show possession, origin, or relationship. Example: ἡ χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ. ("The grace of God." A clear example is seen in Romans 1:16 in the original Greek version.

C. DATIVE: Indirect object, means, manner, location ("to," "for," or "by"wink. Here, God is written as Θεῷ (Theōi) — used for the indirect object or to show means, manner, or location. Example: προσεύχομαι τῷ Θεῷ. ("I pray to God."wink A clear example is seen in Acts 20:32 in the original Greek version.

D. ACCUSATIVE: Direct object, extent of space or time ("whom" or "what"wink. Here, God is written as Θεόν (Theon) — used for the direct object of a sentence. Example: Ὁρῶ τὸν Θεόν. ("I see God."wink, which is similar to John 1:1 “…with God”, which Reno erroneously interpreted to mean a different and bigger God. Another clear example is seen in Matthew 22:37 in the original Greek version.

E. VOCATIVE: Direct address (calling out to someone). Here, God is written as Θεέ (Thee) — used when directly addressing God. Example: Ὦ Θεέ, εἰσάκουσόν μου. ("O God, hear me."wink A clear example is seen in Matthew 27:46 in the original Greek version.

11. Notice that each case changes the ending of the noun, pronoun, or adjective, which helps determine the word’s function in the sentence, making Ancient Greek a highly inflected language.

12. In another Scriptural verse, Jesus is addressed as God (Θεοῦ - Genitive case) as seen in Acts 20:28: "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." (Greek: προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς καὶ παντὶ τῷ ποιμνίῳ ἐν ᾧ ὑμᾶς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἔθετο ἐπισκόπους ποιμαίνειν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἣν περιεποιήσατο διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος).
In this verse, "God" (Θεοῦ in genitive) is contextually understood to refer to Jesus since it speaks of the church purchased with His blood, directly attributing the divine title to Christ.

13. Having established this, I dare to say that the argument of Reno is based on a gross misinterpretation and ignorance of the original Greek, which intentionally seeks to undermine the doctrine of the Trinity as presented in Scripture. I hereby challenge Mr. Reno to counter this scriptural exegesis of mine openly or even get ready for a debate, where I would not hesitate to lecture him on biblical Greek.

14. Since he has vowed on his honour, I look forward to seeing his response.

Dear @followers I rest my case for now!

Shalom!

Politics / Re: Senate Announces 'dumping' Of Labour Party On Their Official Handle. by telleyway: 8:16am On Jul 25
DesChyko:
In a shocking turn of events, the Nigerian Senate, through their official X handle, @NGRSenate, announces the dumping of Labour Party by Ezenwa Onyewuchi, the lawmaker representing Imo-East Senatorial district.

Following a recent trend of unwholesome announcements made from official government handles on twitter, the post reads

"Labour Party Senator Joins APC

Ezenwa Onyewuchi, lawmaker representing Imo-East Senatorial District, has dumped the Labour Party (LP), for the All Progressives Congress (APC)."

This development was greeted with backlash from citizens, over the desecration of official handles under the APC government. Majority labelled it a direct affront on Labour Party, citing that Ifeanyi Ubah, the senator representing Anambra South, defected from the YPP but didn't even get as much as a mention on the same handle.

https://x.com/NGRSenate/status/1816156377565520302?t=fMPjrx9s_lc2OFJdj4LnuA&s=19

Labour party should sue and call him back, let him wait for APC ticket in 2027

Politics / Re: Time To Declare The Obidient As An antidemocratic & Terrorist Movement . by telleyway: 10:01am On Jul 18
MossadAgent:
I have read several posts here by the usual Obidient mob calling for mass violent protests similar to that that shook Kenya.

It should be noted that their planned violent protest has one of its key demands being violent overthrow of the current administration.

This has been the reoccurring theme in all the topics created by the deranged Obidients that has advanced as their key reason to "protest" : an overthrow of the incumbent democratically elected civilian adminstration.

Your rights to protest in a democratic setting ends when your demands are for the overthrow of the current administration, a scenario that will usher in the end of our democratic system.

This is not only high treason and sedition but exposes the antidemocratic tendencies of the Obidient mob, whom I have been warning here since they reared their ugly heads are filled to the brim with deranged Marxists.

They never got over the elections. They have openly refused to accept the outcome of both the final polling results and it's affirmation by the judiciary to whom(judiciary) has come under severe gaslighting by the mob.

They have been at the vanguard calling for extra-constitutional means to unseat the current adminstration and were the only ones calling upon our military to replicate and domesticate the coup wave sweeping the continent here in Nigeria.

You must understand that they are not in any way a democratic people nor do they uphold our democracy nor judiciary in any regards.

They have waged emotional blackmail on those of us who never supported nor voted for their failed Messiah and annoyingly to their own foolish chagrin, have unwittingly and unknowingly accepted their candidate was rejected by majority of Nigerians in the manner at which they insult and degenerate Nigerians for voting Tinubu. Here are a people (it you call them that) who claim their messiah was rigged out only for them to open threads and posts here every single day insulting Nigerians for not voting their "president".

They have refused to accept the elections and have been at the forefront calling for a coup.

They are a seditious treasonous band of antidemocratic Anarcho-Marxists whom we should all see and treat as terrorists.

This madness of calling people obidients whenever they demands accountability from government in itself is treason.
Now northerners are calling for protest, the ones that gave block votes to Tinubu. Are you in anyway insulting they with this write-up?
Can you tell me which category of obidients senator Ndume belongs to? Are you a lover or beneficiary of democracy more than him?
When Kenyas rise up and challenge it's government of her insensitivity, didn't they get the results? Must everyone die before you will know that things are bad?

The sore losers blaming PBAT over subsidy removal, especially those Northerners going on TV programs are only playing petty politics. PBAT being the smart politician that he is decided to echo "No more subsidy" in his swearing in speech to send clear message to those who might want to lobby for subsidy to be reintoduced for their own selfish gains.

Soon Nigerians will appreciate PBAT when some of our refineries become fully functional and we won't have to rely on import of petroleum products again.

With PBAT's drive in infrastructure and accountability in the solid minerals sector, Nigerians will soon start rejoicing. Those who know the man's brilliance when he was Lagos State Governor are at peace knowing Nigeria is in capable hands.

Politics / Re: Tinubu Inherited Dead Economy – Presidency Replies New York Times by telleyway: 8:29pm On Jun 16
NwaNimo1:
The Presidency has reacted to a report published in the New York Times criticising the Nigerian economy as facing the worst trajectory in a generation.

Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Sunday reacted to the report credited to Ruth Maclean and Ismail Auwal’s.

According to the Presidency, the feature story with the title, ‘Nigeria Confronts Its Worst Economic Crisis in a Generation’, published on June 11, reflected the typical predetermined, reductionist, derogatory and denigrating way foreign media establishments reported African countries for several decades.

The Special Adviser on Information and Strategy said because of the ‘misleading’ slant of the report, the government needed to clear up some misconceptions conveyed by the reporters as regards the economic policies of the President Bola Tinubu administration that came into power at the end of May 2023.

He said one significant aspect of the report was that it painted the dire experiences of some Nigerians amid the inflationary spiral of the last year and blamed it all on the policies of the new administration.

He also said the report, based on several interviews, is at best jaundiced, all gloom and doom, as it never mentioned the positive aspects in the same economy as well as the ameliorative policies being implemented by the central and state governments.

[b]Onanuga went on to say that Tinubu did not create the economic problems Nigeria faces today.

According to the presidential aide, Tinubu inherited them.


“As a respected economist in our country once put it, Tinubu inherited a dead economy. The economy was bleeding and needed quick surgery to avoid being plunged into the abyss, as happened in Zimbabwe and Venezuela,” he noted.
[/b]
Onanuga said this was the background to the policy direction taken by the government in May/June 2023: the abrogation of the fuel subsidy regime and the unification of the multiple exchange rates.

According to the presidential aide, for decades, Nigeria had maintained a fuel subsidy regime that gulped $84.39 billion between 2005 and 2022 from the public treasury in a country with huge infrastructural deficits and in high need of better social services for its citizens.

Onanuga also alleged that the state oil firm, NNPCL, the sole importer, had amassed trillions of Naira in debts for absorbing the unsustainable subsidy payments in its books.

He said by the time Tinubu took over the leadership of the country, there was no provision made for fuel subsidy payments in the national budget beyond June 2023.

“The budget itself had a striking feature: it planned to spend 97 percent of revenue servicing debt, with little left for recurrent or capital expenditure. The previous government had resorted to massive borrowing to cover such costs. Like oil, the exchange rate was also being subsidized by the government, with an estimated $1.5 billion spent monthly by the CBN to ‘defend’ the currency against the unquenchable demand for the dollar by the country’s import-dependent economy.

“By keeping the rate low, arbitrage grew as a gulf existed between the official rate and the rate being used by over 5000 BDCs that were previously licensed by the Central Bank. What was more, the country was failing to fulfil its remittance obligations to airlines and other foreign businesses, such that FDIs and investment in the oil sector dried up, and notably Emirate Airlines cut off the Nigerian route,” he said.

Onanuga said to deal with the cancer of public finance, Tinubu on his first day rolled back the subsidy regime and the generosity that spread to neighbouring countries. Then, his administration floated the naira.

He said, “After some months of the storm, with the naira sliding as low as N1,900 to the US dollar, some stability is being restored, though there remain some challenges. The exchange rate is now below N1500 to the dollar, and there are prospects that the naira could regain its muscle and appreciate to between N1000 and N1200 before the end of the year.

“The economy recorded a trade surplus of N6.52 trillion in Q1, as against a deficit of N1.4 trillion in Q4 of 2023. Portfolio investors have streamed in as long-term investors. When Diageo wanted to sell its stake in Guinness Nigeria, it had the Singaporean conglomerate, Tolaram, ready for the uptake. With the World Bank extending a $2.25 billion loan and other loans by the AfDB and Afreximbank coming in, Nigeria has become bankable again. This is all because the reforms being implemented have restored some confidence.

“The inflationary rate is slowing down, as shown in the figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics for April. Food inflation remains the biggest challenge, and the government is working very hard to rein it in with increased agricultural production.

“The Tinubu administration and the 36 states are working assiduously to produce food in abundance to reduce the cost. Some state governments, such as Lagos and Akwa Ibom, have set up retail shops to sell raw food items to residents at a lower price than the market price.

“The Tinubu government, in November last year, in consonance with its food emergency declaration, invested heavily in dry-season farming, giving farmers incentives to produce wheat, maize, and rice. The CBN has donated N100 billion worth of fertiliser to farmers, and numerous incentives are being implemented. In the western part of Nigeria, the six governors have announced plans to invest massively in agriculture.

“With all the plans being executed, inflation, especially food inflation, will soon be tamed.

“Nigeria is not the only country in the world facing a rising cost of living crisis. The USA, too, is contending with a similar crisis, with families finding it hard to make ends meet. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen raised this concern recently. Europe is similarly in the throes of a cost-of-living crisis. As those countries are trying to confront the problem, the Tinubu administration is also working hard to overturn the economic problems in Nigeria.

“Our country faced economic difficulties in the past, an experience that has been captured in folk songs. Just like we overcame then, we shall overcome our present difficulties very soon.”

The same dead economy that Tinubu said he will sustain and keep Buhari legacies? Now you are telling us Tinubu didn't know what he was saying? That simply was Buhari killed the economy, I will bury it.

With all due respect, Rev. Alia, you are the fucking executive governor of Benue state. The Beune people have suffered for way too much, for too much to be listening to another sob story. You knew the job would be hard and tough given the state of affairs before campaigning for this seat.

You are not doing your citizens a favour by paying their salaries and pensions, so stop the pity party. The elite fought you or not is no one's concern, your civil servants only care about getting paid. EOD.

Toying with Benue people with lambas about some Fulani herdsman, or Buhari, or some vague elites should wither with the last administration. Governance, bro. Not story. Not excuse. Not pity party.

Benue has rotten to a point that all hands should to be on deck round the clock to reverse the decomposition process. You shouldn't have time to tell tales, lies or not.

It seems you don't read the story at all or maybe you don't comprehend.
Of what benefits is the roads or the so called white elephant projects when the workers are not paid? And the man said give the people what profits them the best.
If you have followed Benue politics, people were owed for years after bail out, Paris club refund and many billions of loans were collected. For the man to have offset those backlog or paying regularly without any loan proves prudent management.

But the same governor paid school fees in dollars for his children yet to be born. He is rumored to have more than 10 houses in Abuja.
Let the governors not rekindle our anger

Potential Impact on Beef Prices
Implementing large-scale ranching could significantly increase the cost of beef due to the high expenses associated with establishing and maintaining ranches.These would make Nigerian cows too expensive for purchase as cows from Niger and other neighboring countries practicing open grazing will be cheaper in the open market.


Suggested Practical Solutions
Designated Grazing Areas: Allocate specific areas for grazing to prevent clashes while allowing pastoralists to continue traditional herding methods.
Conflict Resolution Mechanisms: Establish local committees to mediate disputes between farmers and herders, promoting peaceful coexistence.
Cooperative Farming: Encourage farmers and herders to form cooperatives, sharing resources and knowledge to improve productivity and harmony.
Community-Based Animal Health Services: Provide mobile veterinary services to support herders, reducing the need for long migrations and potential conflicts.
These solutions aim to be cost-effective and fair to both cattle herders and farmers, ensuring sustainable practices and reducing conflicts.








Will you allocate shops for people to sale alcohol in the northern part of the country?
Will you provide land for farmers up north?
Will you provide resources and enablement for fishermen to go up north for their business?

What makes cows special business in Nigeria? Isn't it a personal business?
Many people don't eat beef and you must not force it on them .

The worst is your preference that people be killed to allow fulanis carry cows about.
I'm not surprised though.

The speed with which nass take debate on old new national anthem and president's ascent almost on the same day.
What's keeping them from using at least a fraction of it to tackle the minimum wage since last year?

Look at what a supposed minister of finance is saying, did he think that we all don't have brains?
After that Tinubu declaration of a floating forex on May 29 last year, multinationals have left our economy in drons because of instability of the naira which brought huge lost to them. Any economy that's very volatile is dangerous for investors because their supposed gains may vanish in a second just as it's witnessed in cryptocurrency.

Labour demand is much. They should accept 60/70 as minimum wage



Oh they should pay them 400,000 they asked for?
Na stage 2 inflation you de call for. Have you studied the Expectational Augmented Philip curve theory?
Have you studied the wage wage price spiral theory?



Can the government cought out this money you called without going back to print more money?
If what labour is asking for Is implemented it's to cost 10 trillion monthly. Does Nigeria has that money to push out?




The government should look for ways to increase productivity, that is national output.
They should look for ways to tackle insecurity so that farmers can grow food.
They should look for ways out all federal roads in order to transport foods, goods from North to South.

They should look for ways to be transparent in oil production. Ensures they partner with dangote to bridge the gap that exist in oil import.

If all this are tackle alongside corruption mostly among state government then real wage will increase.

There is a difference between real wage n money wage. ... Search that in Internet to learn more.

The bolded:
You claimed that that there's no money and that it will bring more inflation but failed to tell us why there's inflation in the first place. Let me tell you some basic things but you and the federal government are missing.
Fuel and exchange rate (dollar) are the strongest pillars of our economy. They influence other factors of production, demand, supply and profit margin. Everything every rise in price of commodities is tied to Dollar and fuel hence the high inflation. Take for instance the recent hike in electricity tariff was on the premise that the cost of production is higher than what it used to be.
Everything in the market has tripped it's price and still counting .
Now tell me why a supposed first class economist like Tinubu will expect that things will remain the same after touching the very life wires of our economy? Maybe you should help me remind him that exchange rate and fuel are hydra-headed components that once touched, there will be a multiple chain reactions.

Certainly, labor will not insist on 400k because it's not feasible, but will definitely not settle for anything below 100k and it's very justifiable.
