pafra:Abeg dey lie small small now. Even Lai Mohammed no lie reach this. My wife is a Winners member and in the beginning I followed her and the children to church to as support even though I do not even believe or like the church. Not long after attending service regularly, i was asked to join the Publicity Unit. I was among those that took minutes of the pastors preaching for publication for the next bulletin. Every Sunday they we always asking for one donation or the other. If its not the new children's church building donation, it would be to buy busses for the transportation unit. The first time I attended the publicity unit meeting I was forced to make a pledge. They were even using my apartment for the Saturday fellowships. In every meeting and fellowship we were required to make an offering. The last straw for me was when I was asked to pay N1,500 for the vest they gave me to identify me as a member of the publicity unit so I could walk around the church without any harassment from the security guys. I told them than I am using my resources and talent to serve the church free of charge and they expect me to pay for a vest I only use to do their job. I quit there and then. I told my wife that even though I love her and I will always support her, I would never step a foot it that church again. Winners church exploit people to the fullest. |
helpee:O boy see stupid argument to defend God of Men. I am sure you are ready to drink cool aid for Oyedepo's sake. Ok, answer this. Why should it be the senior pastor that will take (kolobi) all the tithes and offering of all the branches? If the junior pastor is allowed to take the tithes and offerings of his branch, will he be asking for salaries from the senior pastor? Does it then make sense for God to bless a particular branch with tithes and offerings and the junior pastor that God used to collect the blessings cannot be paid directly from that blessings. |
ubola:You now agree that church is a business enterprise and not a spiritual non governmental organization dedicated to spiritual and moral growth of it's members. As a business man, how can you expect productivity growth during a pandemic? How many businesses has grown within the last 2 year's? |
MT:Exactly! I had though that it was written in the Bible that "where two or three is gathered in my name, I would be in their midst". I now realize that it's about Church Growth Index. |
MT:I lost interest in Christianity as a whole when this rubbish prosperity gospel started gaining ground over 30 years ago. And I never regretted it since. I had thought Christianity could not go lower. Men of God or rather God of Men have now come up with a new one - Church Growth Index. Abeg which one is Church Growth Index again? How do you measure it? Is it by shear numbers, income generated, number of people truly saved? Where in the Bible is it written? I believe the emphasis on material prosperity as against spiritual or moral prosperity is responsible for the moral decadence we have in all facets of the Nigerian society today. |
fof1:I hate any religion based on threats and blackmail. Lots of people avoid Jesus to dare him do his worst. |
rhektor:Eye witnesses and servants of who or what? |
Jeromejnr:That's why I question your level of education. You read the first lines of an article and immediately fly into concludion without eveb bothering to read the context and conclusion of the whole article. Tacitus was writing about Christians during the burning of Rome in AD 64 and not particularly about Christ. Rome was burning in AD 64 and Emperor Nero blamed the Christians and so started expecting Christians. Tacitus only made reference to Christ in relation to the beliefs of Christians which he found as an abomination. He definitely had never been to Palestine nor did he claim to know christ who was said to have died 30 years earlier even existed. This is what he wrote concerning Christ. But all human efforts, all the lavish gifts of the emperor, and the propitiations of the gods, did not banish the sinister belief that the conflagration was the result of an order. Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations . , called Christians by the populace . Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition. thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judæa, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular. Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind. |
rhektor:Apologies for my mistake. Yes luke and Acts were written for Theophilus by an unknown author who was certainly never claimed to be an eye witness, but wrote from what others told him. Here is the first book Luke 1:1 Luke 1 1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. 5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, From verse 5 the story begins ...... |
Jeromejnr:Who else do you expect to tell me of his or he history? Should I be the one telling French history of their war defeats and victories? Was Yeshua not part of Jewish history ? Though many them don't see him as the Messiah. Didn't their Rabbi's write about him?No. The Jews have never regarded Jesus as part of Jewish history. Which Jewish Rabbi wrote about jesus? Romans also wrote about Jesus the miracle worker who had followers.No Roman wrote about Jesus. Josephus a Jewish historical was said to have written about Jesus as regards what a certaun sect of Jews believed, but he never wrote directly about the life Jesus. As for Copernicus, who told you he was the one who wrote the book?Who should we then attribute the book with corpanicus written boldly as the author. Besides also wrote various letters to the academic community detailing his claims. So all the various writings from different disciples that wrote about Jesus over different years, they are not worthy to be considered?Which different disciples that wrote about Jesus? Non of the actual disciples wrote about jesus? Most of them are said to be illiterate. The person that wrote Luke and Acts of the apostles (a certain Theophilus) never claimed to have met Jesus. He said he relied on what people are saying (hearsay). Good thing you said you know nothing of history. Because you don't.Even though I don't know much about history, I know far more than you could ever know. We would rather listen to the expert historians. Not one Mowe guy that is forming intellectual.Why not link us to the so called expert historians? Believe me, I am way more older and educated than you. |

Jeromejnr:You are dumber than dumb. Corpanicus wrote a book (De revolutionibus orbium coelestium) with his name on it and the book is there for all to read. Joan of Arc was part of French history for leading the war to defeat their enemy/invaders. She was acknowledged for all her feats ( Maybe with bits of exaggeration). She was acknowledged by both friends and foes and forever honoured by her country. Her. Her full biography was know with family background. Till today France is very proud of her. I don't know much about Macabees, Ephiphnes, King xerxes as I am no historian, but conquerors kings and leaders usually leave traces of their conquests in the history of the places and people they conquer. Now tell me what evidence whatsoever you have both physical and even literally outside 3rd party narration by unknown authors from the new testament. What is family back ground? What is even his name? The title Khristós simply means Messiah. What is his family background and his descendants. How come he is not acknowledged and honoured by his people. If you talk of Abraham, Joshua and David, I can concede they existed (though with exaggerations) but there is no trace of proof for Jesus. |
Jeromejnr:I don't know of Mohammed, but we have busts, portraits and coins of Julius Caesar, we have bones and eggs of Dinosaurs. Please show us just once evidence of Jesus outside 3rd or 4th person narratives by unknown authors. |
It may even have been the city council building, where important dignitaries were received before entering the Temple compound and the Temple Mount.This was obviously a Roman Guest house or chalet used by high Roman political and military officers posted to the Roman province of Palestine. The building was built in the Roman architectural style of the day complete with running water, fountains and columns. This had nothing to do with the temple or any other religious significance. |
Ojiofor:Why advertise your ignorance openly on nairaland? A V.P in a parliamentary system of government? First of all Sardauna was not vying for any elective post. He was simply the head of the party. Then the party that won the elections or that was the majority in a coalition government was to produce the prime minister, and other posts in the cabinet (ministers) would be shared according to negotiations. In the negotiation between Zik and Sardauna, NPC produced the prime minister and NCNC produced the president (ceremonial ) and finance Minister. |
Ovamboland:It seems the system was heavily rigged in favour of the North. The NPC with less than one forth of total votes got more than one third of the seats. While the NCNC that almost got 40% of total votes got less than one forth the total seats. If this system had continued the north will always have the upper hand in elections. I wonder why Awolowo and Zik agreed to such a skewed type of democracy that greatly favoured the north. |
Ojiofor:When then did it happen and who reported it? |
Ojiofor:I honestly think more highly of Igbos than you guys are displaying here. Most Igbos I interact with in person are usually very intelligent and cerebral but these online ones are display such low deductive capacity. Awo deny what? Maybe you need to go to Ikenne and wake up Awo to ask him, then he might deny or confirm it. A sourceless story written by one fictitious Babalola Akinnuoye writes from Ibadan, Western Nigeria, written on a blog in Jul 17, 2019, and you want Awo to deny it. OK, Awo Backstabbed Zik making all Yorubas backstabbers. Infact everyone that had ever interacted with igbos have one way or the other backstabbed them. Igbos are the only frontstabbers in the whole of Nigeria and the whole of Africa.. Are you happy now? |
basilico:So what did the mrna inventor conclude about the coronavirus vaccine? I did not read where he specifically said the virus will kill people in 2 - 5 years. If you don't know what will happen, how then did you reach your conclusion of 2 - 5 years? IThe vaccines injects the virus in your body znd your body produces antibodies . Quantity of antibodies produced , I think might be the ones causing deaths.That has been the very definition of vaccination since its discovery over a century ago. We have been taking vaccines for rabies, smallpox, chickenpox, measles, polio and a host of other viral diseases for a century employing the same mechanism, and we have not be falling down and dying. https://greatreject.org/corona-vaccine-deaths-overview/Did you look at the dates on your link? It seems you just rush to Google and post links without even bothering to read it. The link itself is dated 18/01/2021 and all the articles are dated from October last year to February this year. Meanwhile the vaccine was approved by most countries late last year and was deployed to the general populsation starting this year. |
basilico:So this is the Google link that proves that the vaccines kills people in 2 - 5 years? This is the so called proof that claims the vaccine kills people; "A Norwegian study conducted of 100 nursing home residents who died after receiving Pfizer's corona shots. They found that at least 10 of those deaths were likely caused by the vaccine. 10%," Carlson said.The claim is senseless and does not even concluded anything. It says out of 100 nursing home deaths, 10 were likely caused by the vaccine. And your conclusion is that vaccines caused their deaths. Is that how medical trials are conducted? The whole article is just rants without really saying anything. Please explain how the article lead to your conclusion that as of today more people have died during trials than all other vaccines combined. I don't even understand what you mean. |
benalvino3:Please explain what you are talking about. Because what I understand from your claims is that coronavirus vaccines is certain to kill all who took it in 2 to 5 years. For you information, I have taken the first dose of the Astrazeneca vaccine and will take the second dose in about 4 weeks. So I should start counting my days left on this earth. |
basilico:And the vaccine has been proven to kill people in 2 to 5 years? Why is it difficult to give us the link as you are more proficient in the use of Google than I |
benalvino3:You take the vaccine and died 2 to 5 years later when the Vaccine is only out for about 6 months? Which data proved that people died 2 to 5 years after taking the Vaccine? You mean to tell me that billions of people that had taken the Vaccine or will take the Vaccine will be dead in 2 to 5 years time? That means in about 5 years less than 20 percent of the world population who refused or are unable to take the Vaccine would be alive. Since Trump, Ivanka and Family along with Joe Biden and Family all took the vaccine, they will all be dead in less than 5 years. Man you really need psychological evaluation. |
Ojiofor:Let's assume that the quote in red is true. How do we know that the Sardauna did not outfox Zik? What other third party confirmed that Awo actually sent a delegation to Sokoto at the same time he sent a delegation to Onitsha? Remember a trip to Sokoto then would have taken many days is not up to a week. Why didn't Zik confirm the story told by Sarduana before abandoning Awo and dashing NPC (a party that came a distant third in the elections) the prime minister and then accepting to be a ceremonial head? Another mystery is that if Awo actually offered to give the north prime minister position and accept finance minister, why did the Sarduana not accept but accepted Ziks offer instead? Why did Zik refuse Awo's offer of prime Minister and accepted Sardauna's offer of ceremonial president instead? So this story is the basis of the distrust of Igbos of Yorubas in general. It seems the north are master's of political strategy. |
LebenNG:I honestly don't understand what you wrote up there. Igboho never went on a hate spree on Igbos the way Kanu did to Yorubas and all other tribes. Kanu and his IPOB members even went after igbos who have a different opinion. I have never seen anywhere where the reason for secession agitation is hatred of your neighbours. |
In the security circle, a person whose name is on the stop-list is denied all constitutional rights and privileges a citizen is entitled to.This is scary. You mean that in Nigeria a person can be denied all constitutional rights and privileges as a citizen? |
LebenNG:Yoruba secessionists never based their reasons for wanting to leave Nigeria on hatred for igbos or even Hausa - Fulanis. Their main reason is on the lack of will or ability of Nigeria to protect Yoruba land from marauding Fulani herdsmen and bandits, and the northernization of the Nigerian civil service, security architecture and Political offices. |
LebenNG:Biafra materialising should be igbo concerns irrespective of whatever, but you cannot mention Biafra without mentioning Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, NigerDelta, etc. Your biafra agitation is predicated on hate - hatred of Yorubas, Fulanis, Buhari, Islam, etc and not out of love of fellow igbos or love for the land. |
Sureguy4life:You opened a betting account, funded it and withdraw the money without staking, 4 times. And you are expecting your account not to be closed permanently? To get that money you will need to explain both to the regulators and EFCC why you keep funding a betting account and withdrawing the money. That particular violation is stated in their terms and conditions. |
EmmanuelScott1:Where did I claim that nah only igbos dey do juju? I am only refuting the claim that igbos don't kill other igbos. |
Lifestone:Tell that to igbo kidnappers killing fellow igbos for ransom Tell that to igbos using other igbos for money ritual. Tell that to Kanu and Nwazurike who are at each other's throat, then add Asari Dokubo to the mix. Tell that to IPOB or unknown gunmen who kill igbos and non igbos alike. |
BlueSprint:Low level civil war has already started even without biafra being realized. I wonder what then would happen when or if Biafra actually becomes an independent (igbo only) state. |
