@ NDU_CHUKS
I usually agree to most of ur opinions @ NAIRALAND but on ur opinion on this topic i stand to disagree.

History do not favour this fulani pple wherever they r in Nigeria; it has only being killing and slaughter of their host @ the slightest provication. Please let not play nationalist or politics whenever we see dangaer ahead of us. It is quite unfortunate we have this set of people that r officially called Nigerians.

It is in the best interest of the state and the country @ large to have this pple sent back from where they come from. Have u asked ursef why this 'refuges' were not moved to ENUGU, that is equally close to Benue and Taraba, but cross river.

Please think deep before playing ur nationalism on NAIRALAND.

This speech summarizes the exact predicament the black race is facing in the hand of the white supremacist and the traditional British divide and rule policy. Africa may not be as developed and advance as Europe but will not be so backward if she really attains a true independent.

Biafra might have set the pace for the advancement of black race if their independent struggle were granted but might also affect European/British strategic interest in Nigeria.

The success of the African race, like the Asians, lies in their hand. They must copy from the Asians how they manage to develop within a very short period and stop depending on Europe and America for food and financial aid. Africa must be ready to suffer/struggle to develop as a pple and not stealing money to buy finished technological products from foreign countries.

Not allowing the Biafrans to set pace for a truly and ambitious African nation might forever be Africa’s greatest undoing. Just my opinion.

i think Joseph Stalin is the luckiest who escaped jugdement from his atrocities while in power. this is partly because he successfully led russia during world war 2 against the german 3rd reich.

Money must have definitely exchanged hands to change the story.

Phone calls might have been made,from high place, not to continue with the REAL test

Numerous pleas had definitley being made on his behalf from his friends and fellow agents. He should consider himself lucky to get away with this.

He can never sue NDLEA cos it must be part of the 'cover-up' deal.

He will not talk about it to the press so that he wont step on toes of those who help him out of the predicament.

He might do a movie later on the incident when the story might have died down completley to prove his 'innocence'

ADVISE: He should stop the runs cos all eyes will be on him from now.

Nigerians should consider the wider implicatioon of the FG removing subsidy from from.

1, mass lose of jobs because many organized private sector may not cope with high running cost hence there will be serios downsizing in many companies that rely on fuel for power generation.
2. their will be high crime rate because of mass unemployment.
3. the masses may revolt against the govt. which might leed to military coup, we don’t pray for such.
4. the masses will support any new govt that is pro-subsidy.
5. this moves shows that the govt doesn’t care about the suffering of more that 80% Nigerians
6 the gap between the rich (the anti-subsidies) and the poor with be wider
7. Atiku’s prediction of voilent change in govt might be closer dan anticipated

Please i want to know if islam is going on the re-branding proccess.

If the intention of the POSTER is to re-brand a battered image/history of isalm that ok by me. But if she tries to re-define the concept of jihad against what the quran really teaches and what i see muslims perfom in the name of jihad/fatwa on a daily basis, that means she's not sincere.

@ POSTER please what source did u get this information? Which street/police station was this poster pasted? this story looks fabricated.

@ poster,

this topic is not ok at all. i need a more reasonable post than this. Flooding is a global problem even in developed countries and as bad as any natural disaster you can think of. It has nothing to do with Lagos state govt just as the march tsumani of 2011 has nothing to do with the Japanese govt.

You can suggest ways of handling or even preventing excess flooding in your area.

NAIRALANDERS really have talented commedians. LWKM

I need a sincere and baptized JW to ansa this:

The following questions were asked b4 u got baptized:

(1) On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?

(2) Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses (not as a xtain as they were first and presently called) in a ssociation with God's spirit-directed organization (not HOLY SPIRIT but watchtower organization)?

My JW friends can u see how watchtower (your deceitful organization) has technically removed the Holy Spirit from the baptism/salvation arrangent and replaced it with God's spirit directed organization-A.K.A watchtower (instead of the Holy Spirit)?

And Jesus commanded them saying, ''Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit''.

I knew many lost JW will still go ahead and belive some of this false teaching coming from the Watchtower elders who are bent on twisting the Bible to deceive the gullible public. Please flee JEHOVAH WITNESS for ur sake. They r wolves who came in sheep clothing at ur door step (ignorant JW who neva really understang what going behind watchttower curtain)

Once upon a long time ago a Yoruba man marry a Yoruba woman and had a Calabar house girl. The couple tried for several years without a child and the wife advice the husband: 'honey u knw i lov u so much and i dnt want u to die without a heir. Pls go and sleep wit the Calabar girl so that u go fit get pikin'. The husband agreed and the house girl conceive and gav him a child.

Not quiet long the wife also conceived and gav birth to a son. Then wahala come start in the house, the house girl started carrying shoulder, ''sebi i don born 4 oga, wetin u go do me''. The yoruba woman told the husband, ''this house cannot contain me and this house girl again, abeg send them parking or else i leav?'' The husband agreed and sent the house girl parking for peace to reign.

And now the supporters of the calaber girl come dey vex, ''Yoruba pple ar bad ooo, despite the fact dat the calaber girl born for him he still persue them, na waa for this life sef''. The Yorubaman no come send because his pple supportd his decision. Naso e be my pple. Wen Yorubaman wan die he blessed the pikin wey him true wife born for him, some pple come dey vex even and dey fight for the calabar gilr even till date

YORUBA MAN----ABBRAHAM


YORUBA WOMAN----SARAH


CALABAR HOUSE GIRL----HAGAR

@ poster i dont know how sincere u r. But if actually u were/are area baptized witness, the follwing questions were asked before u got baptized:

1) on the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, hav u repented of ur sins and dedicated to Jehova to do his will?

2) do u understand that ur dedication and baptism identify u as one of Jehova's witnessed (not christians, as they were 1st called and presntly called) in association with God's 'spirit-directed' organization (a.k.a WATCHTOWER GOSPEL AND TRACT SOCIETY-WGTS). 7

Our Lord Jesus Christ made it very clear, 'baptizing them in the name of the father (JEHOVAH/YAHWEH) and of the Son (JESUS CHRIS) and of the HOLY SPIRIT.

This is just one of the less than 0.5% twist the organization has employed.

No matter hw sincere/honest an organization might seem outside, if the keep fluctuating on God's word like NEPA (light always getting brigher falshood) pls runnnn frm dat orgaanization. Thank u

@ POSTER,

u try well well. Pls create a more reasonable thread/topic dat u can defend vry well.

tank u.

@ sexkillz,

please stop whining and learn a basic bible truth. Your religion/belief might not support it but stop mocking the scripture to support ur argument. What other Bible passage do u need to read to accept this Bible truth? Nobody is forcing u to believe in its existence but wen a man closes his eyes in death, the reality of the next world will be dawn on him. Im talking frm personal experince wen i had an accident in 2008 and survive death by mere chance and i knw my short experince. If ur organization teaches u otherwise no wahala, u can believ wat u like.

@ ecenter,

u hav done enough with the Bible passages u giv him. Even if u quote 1000 verses on the issue of hell fire he will stil not belive but i pray God will open his spiritual eyes to see wat lies beyond the physical.

@ LagosShia,

Be mature pls.

[b][b][b]Too many ignorant fools in Nigeria.

CIA and the US came up with : by 2015, Nigeria is going to break up.

Nigerians : they keep arguing with eachother, na lie, na true, instead of fiercely debunking and verbally attacking the CIA and the US for coming up with such an assertion over a sovereign country like Nigeria.

While they are still at arguing with eachother.

The CIA and the US bomb up a UN building in the process.

Nigerians : they start attacking eachother and accusing eachother.

The CIA and the US laughs at them and call them fools while working towards the main aim. (establishing REASONS why NIGERIA MUST break up).

Before 2015, they move in their military forces to come have a base in Nigeria, from there they take over just like they did and doing with Libya right now.

Una never know anything, they are also going to stop you people at their embassies if you think you can travel out of Nigeria with a Nigerian passport.

FACE YOUR FEARS, you NIGERIANS can't see/read the future even if it's shown on a 95" screen or written in your native language[/b][/b][/b][i][/i]





this is an intelligent psot. i am begining to think differnetly on this 'BO HARA' STUFF DAT WESTERN MEDIA IS MAKING US TO BELIEV

I can clearly see the level of ethnic bigotry judging from the repospodents to this topic so far. I wont wait to see the sudan style of referedum to bring to an end all this ethnic killing/cleansing in Nigeria. It is very clear, judging from happening in Nigeria, that the people (tribes) hate themselves and without all revenue, will never be one country.

I will like to see the country break one day so that there will be peace and progress among the ethnic groups.

My parent of course

@ Poster,

The God of isreal (the jews) established an everlasting covenant with his people. The christain/Jewish belive in the prophethood that comes from the lineage of Abraham, Isaac (not ishmael)and Jacob.

Just listen to urself. im still on the topic. If u say a religion preaches peace or love, why should the leader of the same religion invoke curse because people wrong him? it shows u mohammad knows no love/peace in his dictionary. If u love anyone no matter what u can tell God to forgive same person for his/her wrong. Which was exactly what Jesus did. So islam doesnt preach love/peace but hatred as a result of mohammads actions[/colorIt

It is quite evident that Mohammed lived aggressive live in most of his adult life in the promotion of islam. No wonder his apostle follow his foot-steps wherever they go with islam. In this modern world i wonder if he will escape war crime in the Hague. Charles Taylor did virtually nothing compared to the 'prophet'.

Muslims are always haunted by the bloody past of their 'prophet' but blindly refuse to admit it out of pejudice or fear frm their religios leaders. Mscheeeeeewwww!!!

I doubt if FBI will not investigate any american millionaire pays 2FACE 2m dollars to perform at a party. Wahala dey 4 naija, this is outrageous. i doubt if this is true.

This is pure waste of money and oppression. I pray the marriage will even last cos of the past experince we'v had on this type of wedding.

POWER and MONEY 2 MUCH!

@ small man,

If saying the fact (telling the truth) makes me an 'apostate', then i choose to be one.

Have a nice time.

@ kieryn,

I hold nothing against the jehova's witnesses, but when a man is inconsistent in his claims/beliefs i have evry right to cast a shadow on the integrity of the person. Its no news the jevova witnesses have change beliefs so often, as more are still expected to be changed, and as such confusing many pple into believing falsehood(no apology for this).

Not until an average witness learn how to be independent in his reading and understanding of the scripture, this falsehood will continue to prevail on gullible minds. Christain should learn how to grow and mature by learning the bible independently and cshould only seek the assistance of a more mature believer in the area he couldnt understand. chikena!!!

Questions that Jehovah's Witnesses do not like to be asked.
1. If the organization did not actually prophesy the end in 1925 and 1975, then how come so many Witnesses left the faith immediately afterwards? ("They lost roughly three-quarters of the movement between 1925 and 1928, then suffered huge losses after 1975, when the end didn't come as they had implied over and over again," said Jim Penton, an ex-Witness who writes entries on Jehovah's Witnesses for the Encyclopedia Americana.)
2. If the Watchtower organization rejects others calling them "inspired" yet the Watchtower organization does call themselves "God's Spirit-directed Prophet" what is the difference? Is there such a thing as an "uninspired prophet"? See Organization claims inspiration
3. Has the Society ever taught anything scripturally incorrect? See Prophecy Blunders of the Organization
4. Might the Society be teaching anything scripturally incorrect now?
5. Since the Organization has received "new light" regarding the 1914 generation, and completely changed their view on this, does this mean that all the former Jehovah's witnesses who were disfellowshipped years ago for the same view the organization is now teaching will automatically be accepted into fellowship again? Were these Ex-Jw's in fact disfellowshipped for truth and knew things that the governing body did not? See Jw's were disfellowshipped for rejecting generation doctrine
6. Can Jehovah's Witnesses hold and discuss openly with other Jehovah's Witnesses opinions that differ from orthodox Watch Tower doctrine?
7. Can individuals read & understand the Bible alone, or do they need an organization and it's publications to do so? Click here find the answer!
8. How do you prove from the Bible that 1935 was the year for the selection to heaven stopped due to being filled? What is the difference between a Catholic appealing to "what the organization tells him" about December 25 being the date of Jesus’ birthday and a Jw’ appealing to "what the organization tells him" about the date 1935? Is it not hypocritical when you chide the "poor deluded Catholic" that his faith cannot find a Bible passage to support it, when the same goes for you and 1935?
9. How do you know that there were any vacancies, if any, in the 144,000 class if Jesus offered this to first century Christians? How can the organization know the exact number of vacancies today without any records from the first century?
10. Why are you called, "Jehovah's Witnesses" and not "Christians"? Since Jehovah's Witnesses appeal to Isa 43:12; 44:8 for scriptural support that they should be called, "Jehovah's Witnesses" then what was the "new name" prophesied in Isa 62:2? Can't be "Jehovah's Witnesses", for God already used it 20 chapters earlier. Could the new name be "Christian" after our savior "Christ"?
11. Why would the name God gave to His people not be "Christians" since Acts 11:26 says, "The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch"? Why is the name "Jehovah's Witness" found nowhere in the New Testament, if that is God's divine name for His people under the new covenant? Why would God wait almost 2000 years to suddenly start using the name "Jehovah's Witness". Does this mean that first century Christians were not known as Jehovah's Witnesses"?
12. If the name Jehovah is so important, then why is it never used in the entire Greek New Testament? If men edited out the name of God, "YHWH" when they copied the New Testament, as only the Watchtower organization claims, then how can we have any confidence in any of the New Testament? Should we discard the New Testament or the Watchtower organization as unreliable?
13. If the name "Jehovah" is so important, then why does Acts 4:12 say, "There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name [v10 Jesus Christ] under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"? Would this not have been the logical place for God to have used the name "YHWH"?
14. What is the correct spelling of God's proper name "Yahweh" or "Jehovah"? If Jehovah's Witnesses maintain that "Yahweh" is more proper, why do they misspell it "Jehovah"? If the name of God is so important, then should you not only pronounce it correctly, but spell it correctly too? Is not spelling more important than pronunciation?
15. Since the Jehovah's Witness organization currently rejects most of the teachings of its founder Charles Taze Russell (who was president of the organization from 1879-1916), and since they also reject "Judge" Joseph Franklin Rutherford, who succeeded Russell as president from 1916 - 1942, how can we be sure that in 25 more years, Jehovah's Witnesses won't also reject the current president, Milton G. Henschel (1992 - present), as they did Russell and Rutherford?
16. What kind of confidence can anyone have in an organization that rejected its founder and first two presidents for the first 63 years of its existence? This represents about 53% of the time they have existed!
17. Since the Watchtower organization claims "apostolic succession" who was it that "passed the torch of God's Spirit" to C. T. Russel when he founded the organization? What was the name of this individual?
18. In the NWT, every time the Greek word "proskuneo" is used in reference to God, it is translated as "worship" (Rev 5:14, 7:11, 11:16, 19:4, Jn 4:20, etc.). Every time "proskuneo" is used in reference to Jesus, it is translated as "obeisance" (Mt 14:33, 28:9, 28:17, Lk 24:52, Heb 1:6, etc.), even though it is the same word in the Greek (see Gr-Engl Interlinear). Especially compare the Greek word "prosekunhsan" used with reference to God in Rev 5:14, 7:11, 11:16, and 19:4 and used with reference to Christ in Mt 14:33, 28:9, and 28:17. What is the reason for this inconsistency? If the NWT was consistent in translating "proskuneo" as "worship", how would the verses above referring to Christ read?
19. The NWT translates the Greek word "kyrios" as "Jehovah" more than 25 times in the New Testament (Mt 3:3, Lk 2:9, Jn 1:23, Acts 21:14, Rom 12:19, Col 1:10, 1Thess 5:2, 1Pet 1:25, Rev 4:8, etc.). Why is the word "Jehovah" translated when it does not appear in the Greek text? Why is the NWT not consistent in translating kyrios (kurion) as "Jehovah" in Rom 10:9, 1Cor 12:3, Phil 2:11, 2Thess 2:1, and Rev 22:21 (see Gr-Engl Interlinear)?
20. To what was Jesus referring to by the term "this temple" in Jn 2:18- 19? See Jn 2:21.
21. If the Holy Spirit is God's impersonal active force, why does he directly speak and refer to himself as "I" and "me" in Acts 13:2?
22. The NWT translates the Greek words "ego eimi" as "I am" every time it appears (Jn 6:34, 6:41, 8:24, 13:19, 15:5, etc.), except in Jn 8:58 where it is translated as "I have been". What is the reason for the inconsistency in this translation? If "ego eimi" was translated in Jn 8:58 the same way it is translated in every other verse in which it appears, how would Jn 8:58 read?
23. In Rev 22:12-13, Jesus Christ, the one who is "coming quickly", says of himself, " I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end". In Rev 1:17-18, Jesus, the one who "became dead, but, look! I am living forever and ever", refers to himself as the first and the last. Rev 21:6, in speaking of God, says, ", I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end , ". God is also referred to as the "first" and the "last" in Isa 44:6 and Isa 48:12. How can this be since by definition of these words there can only be one first and one last?
24. Jn 1:3 says that Jesus created "all things", but in Isa 44:24, God says that he "by myself" created the heavens and the earth and asks the question "Who was with me?" when the heavens and the earth were created. How can this be since if Jesus was created by God, then he would have been with God when everything else was created?
25. Col 1:16, in talking about Jesus, says that ", All [other] things have been created through him and FOR HIM". If Jesus was Michael the Archangel at the time of creation, would an angel have created all things for himself? Isa 43:7 says God created "everyone , for my OWN glory, ".
26. The Watchtower Society teaches that the 144,000 of Rev 7:4 is to be taken literally. If chapter 7 of Revelation is to be taken literally, where then does the Bible say that the 144,000 will come from? (See Rev 7:5- .
27. If the soul is the body, why does Jesus make a distinction between the body and the soul in Mt 10:28?
28. The NWT translates Jn 1:1 as ", and the Word was WITH God, and the Word was a god". How can the Word (Jesus) be "a god" if God says in Deut 32:39, "See now that I-I am he, and there are NO gods together WITH me , "?
29. Jesus Christ is referred to as "Mighty God" in Isa 9:6 ("For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us , And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God , ". Jehovah is referred to as "Mighty God" in Isa 10:20-21. How can this be if there is only one God (1Cor 8:4, Isa 43:10, 44:6)?
30. If Jesus was executed on a torture stake, with both hands together over his head, why does Jn 20:25 say ", Unless I see in his hands the print of the nailS , ", indicating that there was more than one nail used for his hands?
31. Jesus uses the phrase "Truly I say to you, , " over 50 times in the Bible. In the NWT, the comma is placed after the word "you" every time except in Lk 23:43, where the comma is placed after the word "today". Why is the comma placed after "today" instead of after "you" in this verse? If the translation of this phrase in Lk 23:43 was consistent with the translation of this phrase in all the other verses in which it appears (see concordance), and the comma was placed after the word "you", how would it read?
32. The NWT translates the Greek word "esti" as "is" in almost every instance in the New Testament (Mt 26:18, 38, Mk 14:44, Lk 22:38, etc.). See Greek-English Interlinear. Why does the NWT translate this Greek word as "means" in Mt 26:26-28, Mk 14:22-24, and Lk 22:19? Why the inconsistency in the translation of the word "esti"? If the NWT was consistent and translated the Greek word "esti" as "is" in these verses, what would these verses say?
33. In Jn 20:28, Thomas refers to Jesus in Greek as "Ho kyrios moy kai ho theos moy". This translates literally as "the Lord of me and THE God of me". Why does Jesus, in Jn 20:29, affirm Thomas for having come to this realization? If Jesus really wasn't the Lord and THE God of Thomas, why didn't Jesus correct him for making either a false assumption or a blasphemous statement?
34. If Christ will not have a visible return to earth, then how will he be seen by "ALL the tribes of the earth" (Mt 24:30) and by "EVERY eye" (Rev 1:7) when he returns?
35. If the Holy Spirit is God's impersonal active force, how could he: Be referred to as "he" and "him" in Jn 16:7-8 and Jn 16:13-14; Bear witness - Jn 15:26; Feel hurt - Isa 63:10; Be blasphemed against - Mk 3:29; Say things - Ezek 3:24, Acts 8:29, 10:19, 11:12, 21:11, Heb10:15-17, Rev 2:7; Desire - Gal 5:17; Be outraged - Heb 10:29; Search -1Cor 2:10; Comfort - Acts 9:31; Be loved - Rom 15:30 ; Be lied to and be God - Acts 5:3-4?
36. What is the meaning of Rev 14:9-11, which says, ", If anyone worships the wild beast , he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur , And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever , ". Where could "anyone" be "tormented , forever and ever"?
37. Jn 1:3 says in reference to Christ, "All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence". How could Christ have been a created being if ALL things came into existence through him? If Jesus was a created being, then according to Jn 1:3, Jesus would have had to create himself.
38. If the spirit of a man has no existence apart from the body, why does Stephen just before his death in Acts 7:59, pray to Jesus to "receive my spirit"? How could Jesus receive Stephen's spirit if a man's spirit ceases to exist when the body dies?
39. If the great crowd is to have everlasting life on paradise EARTH, why does 1Thess 4:17 say, ", we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR; and thus we shall always be with the Lord"?
40. If there are 144,000 spirit anointed people who have a heavenly hope, and a great crowd of people who have another hope of everlasting life on paradise earth, why does Paul say that there is only ONE hope (Eph 4:4), instead of two?
41. If there is no conscious awareness after death, how could the "spirits in prison" be preached to by Christ after his death (1Pet 3:18-20) and how could the good news be "declared also to the dead" (1Pet 4:6)?
42. In Phil 2:9, the NWT inserts the word "other", even though it doesn't appear in the original Greek (see Gr-Engl Interlinear). What is the reason for inserting this word? Is the word "Jehovah" a name? See Ex 6:3, Ps 83:18, and Isa 42:8. How would the verse read if the word "other" had not been inserted? What does scripture say about adding words to the Bible? See Prov 30:5-6.
43. Heb 9:28, speaking of Christ, says ", and the second time he appears, " How can Christ APPEAR a second time if he will not have a visible return to earth?
44. Amos 4:11 says, "'I caused an overthrow among you people, like God's overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah. And you came to be like a log snatched out of [the] burning; but you did not come back to me,' is the utterance of Jehovah." How can Jehovah speaking in this verse refer to another person as God (", like GOD'S overthrow of Sodom , "?
45. In Rev 19:1, where does it say that the "great crowd" will be?
46. If Christians are persecuted for the sake of Jehovah's name, why did Christ tell the first Christians that they would be persecuted for the sake of his (Jesus') name instead of Jehovah's (Mt 24:9, Mk 13:13, Lk 21:12, 17, Jn 15:21, and Acts 9:16)?
47. In Col 1:15-17, the NWT inserts the word "other" 4 times even though it is not in the original Greek (see Gr-Engl interlinear). Why is the word "other" inserted? How would these verses read if the word "other" had not been inserted?
48. In 2Pet 1:1, the NWT inserts the word "the". Why is it inserted? How would the verse read if the word "the" was not inserted? What does scripture say about adding words to the Bible? (See Prov 30:5-6).
49. In the sermon on the mount, when Jesus was addressing the "great crowd" (Lk 6:17), why did he tell them in Lk 6:22-23, ", your reward is great in heaven , "?
50. In Mt 1:23, who is Matthew referring to here that has been given the name which means "With Us Is God"?
51. In Rev 14:13, how can the dead be "happy" and find "rest" if there is no conscious awareness after death?
52. If Jesus was executed on a torture stake, with both hands together over his head, instead of on a cross with both hands outstretched, why does Mt 27:37 say that the sign "This is Jesus the King of the Jews" was "posted above his HEAD" instead of being posted above his hands? How could it have been posted above his head if his arms were stretched out over his head?
53. In Lk 4:12, the NWT translates "kyrios" (Gr-lord) as "Jehovah", which makes the verse read ", 'You shall not put Jehovah your God to the test.'" See Gr-Engl Interlinear. Why is kyrios translated as "Jehovah" in this verse? Was the devil, in Lk 4:9-11, putting Jehovah to the test or JESUS to the test?
54. The Bible says that ONLY God is our savior (Hos 13:4, Isa 43:11,45:21, etc.). How can it be then, that the Bible repeatedly says that Jesus Christ is our savior (Lk 2:11, Phil 3:20, Tit 2:13, 3:6, 2Pet 1:1, 2:20, 3:18, etc.)?
55. Referring to Isa 14:9-17, if there is no conscious awareness after death, how could Sheol ", become agitated at you in order to meet you on coming in, " (v.9), how could the souls in Sheol ", speak up and say to you, " (v.10-11), how could the souls in Sheol when ", seeing you will gaze even at you; they will give close examination even to you, [saying,] 'Is this the man', " (v. 16-17), and how would you be aware that this was happening?
56. Heb 3:1 refers to "holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling". In Mk 3:35, Jesus says, "Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother , ". Therefore, according to the Bible, whoever does the will of God is a brother of Jesus and a partaker of the heavenly calling. How can this be if the Watchtower Society teaches that only 144,000 people go to heaven?
57. Heb 11:16, in speaking about some of the faithful people of the Old Testament (Abel, Noah, Abraham, etc.) says, "But now they are reaching out for a better [place], that is, one belonging to heaven, " and, ", their God for he has made a city ready for them." The footnote on the word "city" refers to HEAVENLY Jerusalem of Heb 12:22 and Rev 21:2. How can this be since according to the teachings of the Watchtower Society, the only people who will go to heaven are the 144,000 spirit anointed who have been chosen from people who lived after Christ died?
58. Rev 20:10 says, "And the Devil , the wild beast and the false prophet [already were]; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." Where will the devil, the wild beast, and the false prophet be "tormented day and night forever and ever"?
59. In Lk 24:36-39 and in Jn 20:26-27, Jesus showed his disciples the wounds in his body as proof of his resurrection. If Jesus' body had been destroyed by God after he died, how could Jesus show the disciples his body which had the wounds in his hands, feet, and side and claim that he is not just a spirit, "because a spirit does not have flesh and bones just as you behold that I have" (Lk 24:39)?
60. If Christ was created by God and was the wisdom of God (Prov 8:1-4, 12, 22-31), then before Jesus would have been created, God would have had to have been without wisdom. How is it possible that God could have ever been without wisdom?
61. Rev 7:11 says that "before the throne" is in heaven where "all the angels were standing". Rev 14:2-3 says "And I heard a sound out of heaven , And they were singing as if a new song before the throne , ". Rev 7:9 says, ", look, a great crowd , standing before the throne, ". Rev 7:14-15 says, ", There are the ones that come out of the great tribulation , That is why they are before the throne of God , ". Therefore, if "before the throne " means in heaven (Rev 7:11, 14:2-3), and the "great crowd" is "before the throne" (Rev 7:9, 7:14-15), where does that mean that the great crowd will be?
62. If Jesus Christ is Michael the Archangel, how can Mt 25:31 say, "When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and ALL the angels with him, , ". Since "all the angels" would certainly include Michael the Archangel, is it possible that Jesus could return with himself?
63. In Lk 20:37-38, how could Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob be "all living to him (God)", since they all died hundreds of years before Jesus said this?
64. If the soul dies when the body dies, how could the "souls" of Rev 6:9- 11, who were of those who had been "slaughtered" (i.e., killed), cry out "with a loud voice, saying: 'Until when Sovereign Lord , "?
65. In Mt 28:19, Jesus tells his disciples to baptize "people of all the nations , in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit". Why would the disciples be instructed to baptize in the name of anybody or anything who was not God? Do Jehovah's Witnesses follow the command of Jesus and baptize "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit"?
66. If the human soul IS the person, how could the soul go out of a person (Gen 35:18) or come back into a person (1Kings 17:21)?
67. The Watchtower Society teaches that the earth will never be destroyed or depopulated. How can it be, then, that God says in Isa 51:6, ", the earth itself will wear out, and its inhabitants will die like a mere gnat , ", and that Jesus says in Mt 24:35, "Heaven and earth will pass away, ", and that John says in Rev 21:1 that he saw ", a new heaven and a NEW earth, for the former heaven and the FORMER earth had passed away, and the sea is no more."?
68. Referring to Lk 12:4-5, what would be left of a person after they were killed that could be thrown into Gehenna?
69. Who or what does the spirit of Christ (Phil 1:19, Gal 4:6, Rom 8:9) refer to? In Gal 4:6, how is it possible that the spirit of Christ could come into our hearts? How is it possible that the spirit of CHRIST could reside in someone? If what the Watchtower Society teaches is true, how could Paul make this statement if Christ was a spirit person residing in heaven?
70. In Jn 8:56, Jesus says, "Abraham your father rejoiced greatly in the prospect of seeing my day, and he saw it and rejoiced". Since Abraham died hundreds of years before Jesus said this, how could Jesus say that Abraham "saw it and rejoiced", if there is no conscious awareness after death?
71. In Jn 6:51, Jesus says that a person must eat "of this bread" in order to "live forever", and that "the bread that I give IS my flesh". In Jn 6:63, Jesus says ", Unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves." In Jn 6:54-55, Jesus says, "He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, " and ", for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink." Do you partake of the flesh of Christ , as Jesus commanded, in order to have life in yourself and in order to live forever?
72. Every true Christian would agree that we should follow the commands of God. In Mk 9:7, God the Father commands us to listen to Jesus. Do you follow this command and listen to Jesus? After all, Jesus died for your personal sins (1Jn 2:2, 1Pet 2:24). Jesus tells us to go directly to him (Mt 11:28-30), and the Father commanded us to listen to Jesus. Why? Because JESUS gives us everlasting life (Jn 10:28), and so that JESUS will enter our house and be with us and give us the right to sit on his throne (Rev 3:20- 21). Do you pray to Jesus as Paul and the early Christians did (1Cor 1:2)? Do you partake of the flesh of Christ as Jesus commanded (Jn 6:51)? If not, then are you following the command of the Father who said "Listen to him"?


it is rather pathetic that some millions of people stilll entrust their knowledge of the scripture of on vry few and unsincere pple in broklyn whose identity is hardly known. People should learn hw to take their spiritual destiny into their hand rather than entrusting it on some few individual.

Can someone like Michael Paul be offered a job in this kind of bank?

Nigerians should fooling themselves, this man is dead period!

The powers that be do not want the VP to take full responsiblity as President, period!

the cabal dont want this nation to move an inch,

Nigeria has no way forward but a way backward,as long as the Nigeria institution remains 'one'.

The pple of the varios regions that make of the entity should realise this. Peaceful dissoltion of this union should be sought (tho' thats almost impossible), but im seeing a long and proctated civil war in the horizon except God intervenes in this country.

Nothig is workin in this country, from education to infrscture to security, energy, tansportation e.tc. the country will be better manage if all the component states will be allowed to take decisions that affect their destiny, and not from Abuja.

Germany of 1850 is better than NIgeria of 2010.

Big shame to this British-made country!!!

[b][b]Majority of the Hausa-Fulani ppl are corrupt, evil-minded and yet so under-civilised. I just want to point-out clearly that Islam DOES NOT support violence and indiscriminate killing of anybody regardless of inclinations. It is so unbelievable that even some of the H-F undergraduates actually believe Nigeria belongs to them to 'rule and manipulate' however they wish.

These ppl don't care about anybody bt themselves, even the muslims from the middle-belt and south are not considered 'true' muslims.

I am a student of A.B.U Zaria, a muslim, but b'cos i don't speak Hausa- i'm from Niger, live in Lagos and speak Yoruba fluently- and b'cos i relate freely with the xtians in my class, i'm considered a traitor.

These ppl are ruling Nigeria bt they simply are not Nigerians, they perpetrate their evil acts using religion as a cover. They stink of falsehood, hatred for non-hausas, illiteracy and devilish thirst for power.

We should all come together- middle belt, South-east, west and south.

May GOD save us.[/b][/b]





This statement credit to Sunkanmi is the most credible posting i have read so far on this thread. We must not deceive ourselves, the earlier we (the southerners/middlebelters) understand this fact, the better for us. Or else our children's children will remain in the servitude of this evil Hausa/Fulani of a race.

And let me point to the fact there are impostors on this nairaland who claim to be igbos but hausa/fulanis or yorubas but fulanis, in order to cause confusion among the cheated pple. My pple make una wake up and reason as inteligent minds.

@ davidylan,

u neva cease to amaze me on ur high level rationality: i really love that.

there is no absolute or remote conncetion bw jesus 'peace be unto u' and islam. and as a matter of fact its on the contrary. just as we all knw that there is no any kindergatten on this forum, nobody shuld try play smart on people sharp mentality through bogus and unfounded claims, just as the poster tries to do.

no candle is lite and hidden under a bushel. from time immemorial evry right thinkin person knws the numerous falsehood that exists in islam, let alone their forceful conversion of non-muslims in poors countries in africa.

please the poster should post a much better thread, that he can defend, tho' fraudulently, in his usual characteristics.

nigeria need not go back to the stone age. the candidacy of danjuma and his likes is only going to take the nation backward.

any well meaning nigerian shuld see this as a step backward and shuld be rejected.

Wetin be this eeeh!!!!
is this the end of the world?this is pure Sodom and Gommorah,

soludo is the man! lets goes there,
