Chichigi1990:
After reading this and you insist on making distinctions amongst the prophets of God( especially insisting that Prophet Mohammed wasn't sent by God), then you are not a servant of God but a friend of Satan.

Isaiah 41:21
"The LORD, the king of Israel, has this to say: "You gods of the nations, present your case. Bring the best arguments you have!

Come here and predict what will happen, so that we will know it when it takes place. Explain to the court the events of the past, and tell us what they mean.

Tell us what the future holds, so we may know that you are gods. Do something, whether good or bad, so that we will be dismayed and filled with fear."


God is showing his supremacy above all other idols and false gods. It is only the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that can Predict the future and offer explanations to past events throught his Prophets.

The question of wheather or not Mohammed was a prophet can be tested from this chapter in Isaiah.

Did Mohammed accurately predict future events and offer explanations for past events through God who sent him?

If yes, is not right for Christians to believe that Mohammed was a Prophet sent by God and study his Prophecies?

if you can't afford education,do something else. There are lots of skills you can acquire and achieve success in life. Majority of our graduates are not employable and that makes their certificate almost useless Oxford University, Cambridge all have endowment fund running into billions and trillions of dollars. They go as far as investing in the stock market. Nigeria has one of the cheapest University education anywhere in the world.

If you want quality, pay for it or strike for it. Either way, Yusuf the son of Buhari will fly abroad get quality education and the elites will remain elites

CorperKola:
As much as i may not totally agree with the guy, he's not the one who made your parents poor churchrats.

CorperKola:
This is the same reason the electricity or power sector is comatose, then petrol too. People are not paying the market rate for the services they enjoy. How do you hope to incentivize the producers to make quality products when they cant sell at profitable prices. Please, you that claims to be intelligent, think about it, where does the bulk of r&d money come from? Is it not from profit? If a company isnt making profit, will it think of r&d? You cant eat your cake and still have it. I blame Awolowo, the free education policy should have been capped at max 20 years and made clearly spealth out from the very beginning. It is also our collective faults but our leaders have always been visionless from the very beginning. Once your population passes 50 mil. That model of a welfarist state breaks down. It becomes unsustainable, add the inefficiency and corruption of the civil service here too, and what you get is exactly what you are seeing.
I encourage you to research my main point.
All the scandinavian countries with welfarist policies do bot have up to 20 mil population. Compare n contrast to big countries lime USA.

Why do people hate these cute Nigerian Local dogs?

They are so lovable and they don't get sick.


What is wrong with the Nigerian Local Breed of dog?

A very wealthy man once came with his dog to the clinic for medical attention but before he came, he had called me. I was really expecting a German shepherd dog or a Rottweiler but lo and behold it was our Nigerian local breed of dog. To be candid, I saw disappointed faces among my staff but I tried to be nice to the man by saying nice things about his dog. We still did our examination and clinical procedures and issued the man his bill which he cleared happily.

Out of curiosity, I asked him why he chose a Local dog. He answered: “I guess I have to answer this question for the rest of my life”. He narrated his story about all the dogs he ever acquired and the sad way they all died. He spoke long about a Caucasian breed he once owned that was more of a companion to him & the way he usually goes to evening walks with that dog. The death of that dog made him give up on keeping dogs entirely but on narrating his story to a friend, his friend told him that our local breeds hardly die of all these diseases so he considered getting one.

I thank God that most members of my staff heard the story. After the man left I raised the question: “But what is wrong with our Nigerian local breed?” One of them said that it belittles the man, that a man of his status should own one of the best breeds available. So I asked again that considering his story about his experience with those breeds they preferred, what can they say? The other echoed that the man must have contacted inexperienced vets to treat his dogs. I only wanted to hear from them. I saw from their views, a resentment for the local breed.
The Nigerian local breed has been called all sorts of names such as “Ekuke”, shit eater, stray dog, local dog, “shinee” to mention but a few. These names are derogatory in nature to make the dog look unimportant and undesirable. “Ekuke” as they are popularly called are the dogs preferred as food for the cultures that eat dog meat popularly called “404” (four-ow-four). They are the cheapest dogs to buy in Nigeria. They are sold as little as one thousand five hundred naira (N1,500) about $10 (ten US dollars).

So what is bad about the Nigerian Local breed?

If you ask many Nigerians that resent this breed of dog the reason why they dislike it, they won’t be able to give you concrete reasons. Many of us have seen very intelligent local breeds. Many of them are trained and used for hunting bush meat by locals in which they perform excellently well. In the rural areas these dogs are usually the best for securing the compound or yard against intruders, although they are good at alerting against strangers. I have seen many of these dogs doing spectacular things but I guess like Jesus said: “A prophet is not recognized in his environment…” I have seen foreigners who prefer our own breed to theirs, pointing out the unique features they possess while we, Nigerians buy books to read about the foreign breeds.
I guess we, Nigerians should start to love our local breed of dogs and also acquire and keep them just like the man in the story above.

Let me tell you a fact that Local Nigerian breeds resist many of the diseases other foreign breeds will die readily from here in Nigeria. So think about it.

Here are some of the dog breeds that make up the Ekuke

1.Basenji

2.Azawakh

3.Greyhound

When any fool wants to trend all they need to do is write a piece about Igbos and voila, the internet hordes swarm in like flies on a corpse.

This is another of such senseless pieces.

michlins:
stop comparing apples to oranges please.

The institutions you mentioned make too much money for the government.

You don't expect to pay someone whose office generate billions daily ₦50,000 and complain when he steals. It's never done.

Compare ASUU with Nigeria police. Having said that, it is high time Nigeria education is deregulated to some extent. It's better to pay ₦500,000 per section and finish a course meant for five years in five years and not a day older. If you pay any less, you will balance off the payment by many years of strike and the worst thing to loose in life is time cause it's irreversible.

If you decide not to pay that much, you will sign a contract that will force you to work in public institution in Nigeria for a certain number of years before you japa. We can't pay for your school fees through subsidised education and the moment you finish, you run away.

I know many people will not be comfortable with my comment but "he who comes to equity must come with clean hands". If we citizens of Nigeria wants to hold the leaders accountable,we too should be accountable.

Let me see see how someone will pay 500,000 as school fees and ASUU will go on strike without the minister of education and labour not getting sacked the next day. Those ones are currently vying for president. Or a student will stay in that hostel in uniben and unn. We may not notice but these things destroy us psychologically and we raise students who don't attain perfection but microbiologists who work in banks

Kastonkastroll:
How can Russia ever run out of weapons? A country that sells numerous weapons to other nations Like I said in the beginning of this unnecessary conflict in Ukraine, lies and propaganda can never win you war.

After all is said and done; Ukraine and Ukrainians will be the number one losers in the conflict...

Malory:
Let them keep destroying both Russia and Ukraine. The west are evil

afonjabreed:
I have witnessed this first hand, I had a friend who made a huge amount of money, though illegally but went broke within months.
I have also heard of some situations where a bet or lottery winner goes back to his broke state within a short period of time.

Why do they go broke so fast?
These people get big money, millions as proceeds and they go broke within months.

This is what you will keep saying until there is no single Ukrainian living.

He is a Charlatan in Nigeria but you are bring Afghanistan own here.? What about your brothers in SE with freedom to sit at home on Mondays?

KINGJAJA888:
Nairalanders Good day. My Pops is a Senior Pastor in one of the Pentecostal Churches in Nigeria and has devoted his life to Church.
Ironically I don't believe in God. Never been the religious type. I See no sense that in 2022 humans still live by a book written by someone in 18BC. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Pops wishes I were religious lyk him carrying some big story book (Bible) with me about Lol.
I'm too woke for those fairy tales Sorry.
Watch my Pops dedicate his whole life to someone's business (Church) as they seriously exploit him.
I've advised him Severally but he won't listen. I Can't be like him. I'm Smart, Handsome, Rich and Non-religious. And I Will remain so.

AntiChristian:
When the best you can do is to bring mention me in an Afghanistan thread. Have i mentioned that the pastor who camped people in Ekiti state hoping to take them to heaven is your dad?

People are crazy just seeking relevance mentioning people on useless threads.

AntiChristian:
Are your fams from Afghanestern?

Cos IPOB go soon give then their freedom now!

This is freedom according to Allah, Mohammed, Muslims and Antichristian!

Lol
So this is all you have to say after reading through everything I posted? Well I presume you didn’t read it anyway and wrong, not everyone is a tyro like you when it comes to international politics, okay?because I can see you’re seemingly saying The missile crisis is something I just learnt about. speak for your self brother man . You obviously didn’t know anything like that ever existed in the past because the few sensible people ( The Pope for instance) who knew the story together with other cold war events between these Slavic people (Russians) and the West would never stupidly pick sides with the US/NATO.
You are a wise man my brother; you are a Zelensky obviously
I will advise that both you and Zelensky should go and read up why it’s called “Cold” war. Probably, just maybe after knowing the meaning, then you will know why it’s nothing but sheer stupidity on the part of Zelensky/Ukraine to take on someone others (people who are a million times stronger and mightier than you) have been avoiding a direct military confrontation with. My friend I won’t say more than this.

Jmichael1:
Good day my fellow nairalanders.
please I'm not good in writting, abeg make una pardon me. I just want to go straight to the point.

i'm michael,the first child of my parents(all boys)as a 1st son,i took 90% of my dad character of wish i don't like 70% of them but i can't stop acting like him, I behave exactly like him in almost every thing.

I have tried all i could to stop bt no way...
Please want do u guys suggest for me to do?
i don't want to live the kind of life my dad lived.

please i need your advice...

Morphinne:
I would have loved to answer all your questions one after the other but it will be too lengthy. The screenshot below should help you understand what’s going on in Ukraine as well as the preamble to the whole humanitarian crisis inflicting this said region. Pls read with open mind and digest well and stop thinking the way some people want you to think. Be a freethinker because that’s what ultimately makes you a higher animal. What USA/WEST/NATO is doing is a typical case of doing to others what you would never accept. Take care and enjoy your day. W

Morphinne:
If that’s Putin’s aim as you just claimed, then a wise leader would have done everything possible to make sure he didn’t give Russia and Putin anything to justify their vile plans against his country. Forming alliance with my enemies and inviting them over to my borders is an act of war and enough justification/excuse to bomb your ass if I have the might even if that had been my plan right from onset. In a nutshell, a wise man (obviously you’re not) avoids anything that could give his stronger enemy justification to kill him. Zelensky should have been left in the circus doing what he knows how to do best because he obviously knows nothing about governance

Morphinne:
Okay brother man and I appreciate this. Let’s argue like the intellects that we are.
I believe the screenshot below should answer your first question. A US-backed protesters toppled the then Ukrainian government (that’s a crime on its own) to install a new government that’s loyal to the West. This, to me, is enough reason to annex not just only Crimea but the whole Ukraine because it’s obvious that the West was up to something sinister right from when they started sponsoring protests in a sovereign country. So Putin is even too gentle and calm for my liking but that’s how a good diplomat should be. Crimea has always been pro-Russia and this have led to them being treated badly by the new Western-puppet government. The role the USA played then was tantamount to “coup” and I’m sure they would never allow Russia to play same role in any of US-allied states, I’m sure you would agree with me on that.

Morphinne:
Now to your second question, a wise Zelensky (obviously not the comical one) should have respected the agreement made with the Russians federation to not accept or propose or promote the eastward encroachment policy of NATO. It is that simple. A wise Zelensky would have tried to learn why even the great NATO and the world captains, over the years, didn’t have the guts to say anything when Russia annexed the said Crimea. A wise Zelensky would have tried to know why no one had ever tried to get into direct conflict with both the defunct Soviet Union and the present-day Russia. You’re here challenging someone your supposed masters and role models dare not look in the eyes; someone your masters have always been fighting using proxies, it got to your turn, you faced him head on telling him you can’t be bullied. That’s about the greatest foolishness there is.
There’s obviously, at least, one reason why these strong names have been avoiding a direct military confrontation with this old devil. No US president had ever tried it in the past and none will. My brother, Pls don’t be a Zelensky!

Rugaria:
Please Google "Viktor Yanukovich". . Do so with an open mind if you can..
That was a Ukrainian president from the Donbas region elected through a free and fair election. He was toppled through a NATO inspired uprising in Kyiv in Feb 2014, because he signed a general security, economic and political agreement with Russia on behalf of Ukraine that would have saved the region from any sort of misunderstanding with her neighbor and would have ensured better security and political guarantees across the borders of the two nations..

After his unconstitutional overthrow, Western aligned forces in Ukraine started a series of provocative anti Russia actions that culminated in the worsening of the crises in the Donbas region and the accentuation of pro NATO/EU narratives with the ultimate ain of weaning Eastern Ukraine of her Russian identity. That was howntens of thousands of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine were massacred and the world kept quiet. Russia needed to act to stem the tide..

The rest is history....., And btw, President Viktor is still in exile in Russia. Chased away by a mob not by the electorates because he was duly elected ...

Rugaria:
If Ukraine didn't refuse to keep to her agreements with Russia, both Crimea and this current war will not have happened. That's the fact you should understand. For me, these issues are very simple but Nigerians like to make it complex. I believe that a huge Super power like Russia deserves some respect and shouldn't be bullied the way the Americans are doing. Obviously, the US is desperate to contain Russia and restrict the level of influence that Russia can exude in international affairs. The world have seen all sorts of wars and carnage and bloodshed because of these "ego wars" being fought by the West in all sorts of places around the world..

The Americans have the prerogative to do so if they chose to, but we also have to understand that the Russians have the right to work against such in the ultimate defence of their national interest. That's what's going on in Ukraine today; Russia fighting off Western attempt to encircle her! Every discerning minds can see this. Trying to make it look like a wayward land grab by Russia doesn't make sense. It wasn't Russia that voted to join NATO, it was Ukraine! NATO is more or else Russias nemesis.... Those beholden to an emotional attachment to western propaganda won't see the facts for what they're; facts!

Eastlink:
Clownish ASUU. Dudes have killed every form of sympathy Nigerians have for them. It appears strikes is another way of collecting their share from Government every year. No sympathy for students at home anymore.

ASUU should be disbanded or register as a political party.
