Alariwo2:Are you serious! You are in the comfort of your home typing rubbish confidently. The hausas who have killed and slaughtered your folks almost recently you have the lack of thought to call friends? If they are your friends as you say prove it by going to stay in the North before Oct 1st and till everything has died down. Don't forget to walk openly when their violence starts because if you dare to hide or seek refuge anywhere your conscience will forever remind you that you are a breed of hypocrisy and cowardice. |
chineduemmao:True talk bro. Africa is in her labour. The birth of Biafra is at the corner. |
sekxy:My sister, leave that guy. His ignorance will be cured with experience, not argument. Only a few of them use their reasoning but not this one. |
Ralphdan:You spoke my mind entirely. The majority of them are so ignorant that they don't get it. A good number of Igbos were never in support of the way IPOB went about agitating for Biafra. I was against their method and was really against the inciting comments by the respected Nnmadi Kanu but with the state of things and how the Igbos are marginalized and treated unfairly decades after the civil war I am in full support of a separate state. This doesn't feel like home anymore. The United States of America also suffered civil war in the past but today they are making strides in the advancement of technology and the economy because they carried the whole Nation along in the formulation of policies and political participation irrespective of the ideologies of the individuals or groups in the country because they know that dissatisfaction will lead to cracks that will eventually make the empire crumble. That is what Nigeria refused to learn so the cracks have spread so much that collapse is inevitable. |
TonyeBarcanista:hahahahaha |
You may disagree but you can never deny the fact that the spark of relentless agitation for a separate state by the Igbos has caused a country wide conflagration of like agitation and expression for separate states by other tribes. Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa, Niger Delta Republic, now Rondel...interesting. |
I keep saying it, Igbos come back to your homeland. No one can guarantee your safety in the North. I wonder why the Yorubas are screaming as if the agitation for a separate state by the Igbos is a bed of hot coals under their feet. This same yorubas whom the Northerners have continued to slaughter at the slightest provocation even in their homes are here passing their vote of confidence to the Northerners for exhibiting their bloodthirsty intolerance of people only because it is channeled towards another tribe, and they even think many Yorubas will not be among the casualty of war? As an Igbo I always opposed any argument in favour of a separate state because I felt that Nigeria is a work in progress and that we shouldn't give up on it easily. I felt we could still be one irrespective of our differences. However, looking at the tribal war that keeps erupting whenever the major tribes come together I am of the opinion that disintegration is the major solution. Intolerance has failed. The so-called NYSC scheme has failed woefully. Politics has failed. Mixing and mingling with other tribes of the country has failed. What else is left but separation? I reiterate let my brothers and sisters return from the North. This was always expected. It was only a matter of time. Now is the time. |
YorubaNigga:By implications you mean the destruction of their property and livelihood as opposed to the destruction of their lives in which case the latter is much tolerable and preferable to the former in your opinion? |
I am all for peace but let no Igbo man or woman take this as an idle threat. The Northerners are known for their bloodthirsty ways. This is just an opportunity for the Igbos to make adequate preparations to leave the North peacefully. |
Lloydfolarin:[b]It is gross ignorance to think every Igbo person thinks alike. Many Igbos condemned Nnamdi Kanu's inciting statements of hatred towards other tribes. I strongly condemned it and was of the opinion that his incarceration was deserved. I hate the appearance of anything that is not conducive to the peace of this country. Nnamdi Kanu has served his time and I hope it has taught him to become a better and wiser agitator for a separate State. In the past the Oba of Lagos State made similar hate comment against the Igbos and you all rose to his defense justifying it that he is royalty but you strongly condemned the South African king who made xenophobic and hateful comment against foreigners including Nigerians. Secondly, this same Fulanis have slaughtered your people without the least provocation in your lands, something the Igbos who have dwelt with you for very long have never ever conceived yet you are here attacking the Igbos who have done nothing to you other than the 'crime' of their so-called chest beating and agitation for a separate state. The Northerners have always said and done 100 times far worse than Nnamdi Kanu could ever conceive but your hatred for the Igbos won't let you see that that is why you channel your grievance towards them. Who is the hypocrite? [/b] |
tociano009:You are just getting unnecessarily agitated over nothing. When you have to choose between your life and your property which will you give up? Take your time and chew on that then you will comprehend my comment |
Igbos return to your land. There is nothing like Nigeria. This is just a proof. Yorubas, some of you are wise enough to condemn this action by the Northern youths but the ones who laugh thinking the Igbos will be the only one at the receiving end of violence are but fools not knowing that any war, violence has domino effect on other tribes in the country. I am an advocate of peace but my advice to my brothers and sisters in the North is to return to their land to avoid unpleasant scenarios in the future. |
Igbos should return home. This threat by the Northern youths of Kaduna, even if the wind of time blows it away, should never be taken for granted. Better safe than sorry. |
verygudbadguy:Would you blame them for treating the Yorubas as an enemy when they are in an illusion of coalition with the North to detain the Igbos from enjoying their right of secession? I am no preacher of division but I already see mighty cracks on the walls of this house called Nigeria. The inevitable collapse is just a matter of time like a ship waiting to sink. |
Berbierklaus:Such a family as the bolded is completely cut off from civilization. I don't think such a family exists in this 21st century. |
alexialin:Your attitude is a mirror of mine. You're welcome. |
The female specie is the kindest and yet the wickedest of all creation in the universe. I see proof everyday. |
alexialin:Wise words |
I saw this picture of an innocent harmless cute kid whose life has just been snuffed out in a most cruel way...I felt like shedding tears for the kid knowing the pain he must have gone through before giving up the ghost, I felt like embracing him and shielding him from this wicked world of pain...so heart rending a sight.. Humanity and yet very few can be called humans... Rest In Perfect Peace little one. |
My deepest respects to Mr. Kumuyi, a true General in the holy army of God. A great icon of spiritual authority. An inspiration to every generation. Happy wonderful birthday sir. May God continue to keep you and sustain you as He has done all the years of your life. Amen. |
@ topic : those in agreement with the facebooker on the issue of abortion are also in support of ladies abandoning their babies in refuse dumps or gutters or toilets since the mothers may not have the resources to cater for them. I am curious. When does the foetus become a living being? At conception or after birth. Those justifying abortion should enlighten us. If at conception then snuffing the life of a living and breathing being, however little, is murder...a cold blooded one. If at birth then an explanation is needed to understand how a dead foetus is capable of breathing and having nourishment in the warmth of its cocoon for nine months. |
Is that not the same lady who said she has slept with over 2000 men excluding women? |
Has anyone noticed the fact that airtel's data drains very fast....like really fast? Since discovering this I have returned to MTN. Lasts longer. |
dominique:The stupidity of most Nigerians as regards the marital institution is appalling. Why on earth should I request the permission of my son-in-law before I give my daughter a car as a gift or any other gift for that matter? My daughter whom I groomed, raised, toiled for her happiness, risked my health and happiness for her good and wellbeing, and every thing that goes with being a father...all the years I cared for her, loved her, stood by her side, protected her from the dangers of life, saw her become the woman she is and then a mofo from nowhere will tell me I should ask his permission before giving my daughter a car gift... Lolzzz |
Amberon:The reason why you feel this way is that you rely on your ability to fight sin. You lose and become plagued by guilt and shame. This scenario plays itself repeatedly. Never fight sin with your strength. You will always lose the fight. Sin is like dirt. No matter how much you try or how neat you are you will always have some dirt on you at the end of the day. When you are stained with dirt you don't condemn yourself or feel hopeless. You simply wash it away with soap. You fight dirt with soap just as you fight sin with the blood of Jesus. Condemning yourself and feeling hopeless after you have sinned is a sign you trust more in your ability to stand than in God's ability to keep you standing. Remember, you will always fall. Falling is not a crime. Staying fallen is. |
michaelwestern:Read my comment again for better comprehension. I never mentioned Abraham. Nothing in my comment has any connection to father Abraham as regards tithing. Did I say Jesus is a High Priest forever in the order of Abraham? Should we also pay tithe once and forget about it?You can do that if you can give back to God the earth and all that is in it. You would no longer owe God by doing that. Now about the law, tithing is not among the 10 commandments, it is with the other over 400 laws given to the isrealites.What is commandment if it is not a law? What is their difference? Tell me, what is the difference between killing found in the Commandment and killing found in the Law? Why is it still a sin today as it was then? How about the sins of adultery and stealing? Any difference in meaning as provided in the Ten Commandments and the Law? Not everything will fall under the Ten Commandments. The sins of incest and homosexuality were mentioned in the Law but not in the Ten Commandments. Going by your argument these also should be done away with since they are part of the Law but are not among the Ten Commandments. Why then are they still considered sin today? They were only mentioned in the Law but still operate as sin today. Now, if you can answer that then you will know why tithing, which was mentioned long before the Commandments and the Law, is still practiced today. It is a debt we owe God for using the resources that belong to Him to earn our living. The death of Jesus Christ does not erase the fact that the earth belongs to God and a tenth of the produce of the ground belongs to God by right. Do you still obey this more than 400 laws listed in the old testament? Or you just made an exception for tithing? Do you even know all the laws listed in the old testament, or paying tithe is the only important one?Question is do you obey the laws against fighting, adultery, homosexuality, stealing, etc? If yes then why did you make an exception for tithing? Selective obedience? If tithe was so important, why didn't the early apostles collect tithe? Or you're more knowledgeable than them?Do you know how the early Apostles ran the administration of the churches? How about the Pastors, Bishops, and Evangelists of that time? Is there anywhere in the Bible the activities of the churches are detailed as an example to others? Ask yourself, the money used in erecting church buildings, sending out Missionaries to other parts of the world, giving to the poor, the widows, the needy, to help them, such tasks, did they come from the petty offerings of the church? Tell me, since you know the workings of the early church, how did they pay the rent for the structures they used for their Christian gathering? The costs of repairs, transportation, furnishing, feeding, among others, how did they manage such expenses in spreading the Word of God? Faith? Offerings? The heavens opened and rained money for the daily upkeep and maintenance of the churches? Why didn't the early Apostles write about these things if spreading the Word of God is very important? |
doyinbaby:Lol. Like seriously? I believe agape love is a more accurate description of her expression. Never listen to those who tell you tithing is not for Christians. They tell you that it was commanded in the Law but that we are no longer under the Law but Grace as a result of the sacrifice Christ made on the cross. What they refuse to tell you is that it was in practice long before the Law was ever given. Melchizedek practiced it and guess what, Christ is a High Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. They don't tell you that the Ten Commandments - thou shalt not lie, kill, fight, covet thy neighbour's property, love your neighbour as yourself, etc are part of the Law but none will tell you they have been done away with through Grace. If that is so why did they do away with tithing - a universal command - but still observe the Ten Commandments? Because it was also included in the Law? They will not tell you that even Christ Himself said "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God. So how does this apply to tithing? God said in His Word "The earth is Mine and the fullness thereof" "The gold and silver are Mine. The cattle on a thousand hills are Mine." Everything belongs to God. He commands we return ten percent of our earnings to Him because it belongs to Him. Not doing so is tantamount to robbing Him of what is rightfully His. Stealing is a crime that attracts punishment. However, obeying the command attracts blessings. I am very glad you have determined to walk the narrow path. I suggest you read many Christian books to help you in your journey. The answer you seek may have been lived by someone else. Shalom. |
True, it is very difficult. That's why the Word of God said it is a narrow road and a narrow gate. Only few find it. The good news is that we have the Holy Spirit to help us on the journey. A poor and suffering Christian is of much greater value than kings and kingdoms of unbelievers... You just have no idea how much more precious than gold you are to God. You are being refined. A royal privilege. |
Lordwar, like seriously? You have been smoking too much weed of horror movies. Just kidding. But eh your love for horror movies make my own be like learner.

Juell:In time she will learn. She should continue preaching by all means. Who knows? Her "judgmental" preaching may have saved a life from death. You never can tell. |
