Rubbish question
Everybody is talking about the timing. Nigeria is passing through a lot now. Solve the current problems facing the country now.

But things were terrible when the 2nd Niger Bridge was being built.

Or was it not the same Buhari era when you people claimed Nigeria was the 'world poverty capital' and a failed zoo?

When Boko Haram owned territories across northern states? With herdsmen, banditry and kidnapping MORE rampant than today?

When IPOB gangs were shooting Igbos for not sitting at home?

And bad roads everywhere?

Why did NOT ONE of you stand up and say ''this 2nd Niger Bridge costing billions of dollars is a misplaced priority, since we already have the 1st Niger Bridge, and have so many other challenges facing the country''?

I think the propose 4th mainland bridge and 5th mainland bridge is of no use.

Start a new thread for that.

We're discussing Onitsha here.

Is it One rule for ONITSHA and another rule for coastal Nigerians like Calabar people and others?

Did you see that first picture?

Two expensive multi-billion dollar deepwater bridges sitting right next to each other.

You can even walk from one bridge to the other in a few minutes!

How is that fair when we have so many roads in the country that need fixing?

Was 2nd Niger Bridge A ''Wasted Venture'' Since You Already Had The 1st Niger Bridge?

I don't recall any complaints about the multi-billion dollar state-of-the-art 2nd Niger Bridge being ''a waste of resources since we already have the 1st Niger Bridge, and there are numerous bad roads in the country that need fixing''.

Or is it one rule for a section of the country and another rule for others?

2nd Niger Bridge (and 1st Niger Bridge to the left)

A Jewish professor once told me in NYC that Hebrew, Hebeo, Ibo, and Igbo are probably referring to the same pre-Pharoah group that scattered all over the world, some through the Red sea, some went south to the Niger basin

Also, US scholar Alice Linsley writes that the Edo people are genetically related to the Edomites, who were neighbours of the Israelites.

She also states that the Ijebu people are descended from the Jebusites, another neighbour of Israel.

It seems that when they were driven from that area by Romans, they fled together into inner Africa, ie Nigeria, and remained neighbours just as they were over there.

That Yorubas, Igbos, Edos, and related groups live in close proximity today is not by accident.

It is based on very deep connections going back thousands of years.

Religion / Re: The Idea Of Hellfire Is IRRATIONAL MADNESS by Tellmeastory: 5:29pm On Apr 21
justlove91:


I don't have anything against the OP, let's analysis the first paragraph

The idea that the Source of All That Is, the Supreme Intelligence, has arranged an everlasting torturous FIRE to burn people “forever”, ie for trillions upon trillions upon trillions of MILLENNIA simply because they did not “believe” something during their 70 odd years on Earth is so manifestly IRRATIONAL and INSANE, that even the belief in its truism is a sign of mental disorder.


From these paragraph, anyone can deduce what the OP see as irrational.

1. That there is a literal fire that burn people.
2. That anyone that enters this fire stays there forever.
3. That this fire is created by God.

Now let's compare the points with the spirit teachings.

There is a literal fire

When I say dark plane I don't mean a place with literal fire that roast people. It a place where people with evil propensity is grouped together and they create a condition of hell for themselves.

We can see the hell different rival gangs in Lagos for example create for each other. Now imagine a place with hundreds of millions of beings with evil propensity, there is no fear of police or jail, they can act out their evil desire on each other to whatever extent they desire. They can experience the most painful torture and there is no death to ease the pain.

Also, because the place they are is a thought responsive place, these evil inner qualities are reflected on the environment, so there is no flower, light, music or anything that can please the senses or heart.

So, there is hell but there is no hellfire.

Anyone that enters this fire stay there forever

The condition of hell is not permanent or forever. Hope is eternal, even beings that have sunk to the deepest hell can "climb" out of it.
This is because hell is just a reflection of their inner state and when they begin to change their inner state from one of evil, selfish and greed to love, compassion and kindness, they begin to climb out of it to a better place and no power in heaven or earth can make them stay in a place that is not in harmony to their improved inner state.

Hellfire is created by God

Hell is not created by God, imagine the other side as a giant 3D mirror reflecting the inner qualities of each soul as an objective reality.
This means even the light planes are not created by God but a reflection of the inner qualities of being leaving there.




You know the deal, bro.

Guy the point is the same:

Good people will cross from here to a better condition while bad people cross into a worse condition the fire or whatever is just spices the point remains that death is not the end of living creatures.

The Bible God says DEATH ends all life so at death creatures seize to exist! Ecclesiastes 9:5-10

The ‘Bible God’ is Yahweh, and he was WRONG.

Yahweh was a deity of the Israelites.

Other regions had their own deities.

Yahweh is just one of the Orishas.

He is NOT the Supreme Intelligence.

Calling him God is like calling Shango or Amadioha God.

Hebrew = Igbo

The Hebrew word for "son" is ben; plural is bānim.

In Hebrew you say ‘Josh Ben Kasper’ to mean ‘Josh, son of Kasper’

In Igbo the same is done, usually in the village where everyone knows each other.

So if you are referring to a guy in your village named Kelechi Okafor, you would say ‘Kelechi BEH Okafor’, meaning “Kelechi Of The House Of Okafor”,

And then the PLURAL of the Hebrew word, Ben, as stated above, is ‘bānim’.

In Igbo that of course translates to the same word, BANYIN.. meaning “Our common home”.

It’s incredible.

You can NEVER prove that a man flew up into heaven from a a dinner table after rising from the dead and climbing out of his grave.

You can NEVER prove that the said man walked on top of a sea without sinking.

You can NEVER prove he raised the dead, changed 3 fishes to 500, or changed water to wine.

You can NEVER prove that a man lived in a whale’s belly for 40 days before coming out alive.

You are a pea brain brainwashed by Nnamdi Kanu’s anti black rants on his Biafra radio broadcasts.

That’s why you IPOB dropouts have this racial inferiority complex that you blurt out at every opportunity.

Convince him that there are places worse than this planet on the other side he really needs your sermon on that.

So after all said and done the whole idea still boils down to a place of torment, this is really hilarious!cheesy

The torment he is referring to is a mental one. It has nothing to do with the burning of people in a furnace.

Look. We get it.

You believe what some semi-literate desert goat herders from 3,000 BC claimed in a colonial ‘holy book’ to what your fellow human beings are telling you today, regarding transition.

There is no single shred of evidence at all for anything you believe in your little book, including all the “miracles”, yet you have the AUDACITY to be demanding all kinds of proof from the modern testimonies of transition.

But sensible people will glean that their validity as verifiable Eyewitness accounts supersedes any silly, dodgy, no-evidence Roman texts from thousands of years ago.

Even if Chinese were black what's that going to change ?

We should be more focus on the future and end the underdevelopment in Africa, not this obsession claim other region history and inheritance out of inferiority complex.

Africa will always be look down on if it stay backward and underdevelop like it is.


My friend stop talking rubbish.

Why the hell should Africans not know their history?

It is that ignorance that makes them feel inferior to other races, which leads to them preferring foreign made goods, foreign gods, skin bleaching, and even embezzlement and siphoning money to deposit in European banks.

It’s all caused by the loss of the knowledge of WHO YOU ARE.

The Europeans know their history, as do the Chinese, Indians, Japanese, Arabs.

They let their history guide them.

In China, the principles of their ancient philosopher Confucius are taught to every Chinese kid from Age 5.

The Japanese have a policy of ‘Nihonjinron’, ie ‘Japanese values’, based on their ancient history.

The UK adopted the Protestant values.

These societies are powerful because they stand on deep roots.

Africa must likewise regain its link to its powerful history that was disconnected by the colonial era, and ground its forward movement on that knowledge.

The European colonialists LIED about African history, and have whitewashed a lot of world history to erase the huge African contribution to world civilisation.

It’s our job as Africans to uncover those lies, and teach our people their true history of greatness and achievement.

That their ancestors founded empires, not just in Africa, but in China, India, Cambodia, Spain, and other places.

They were explorers and seafarers, long before Europeans knew what a canoe was.

Knowledge of your past is massively important for instilling confidence and drive to move forward as a people.
