Igbos really provoke Yoruba this past fee years with the taunting and mocking.

Yorubas are usually very very accomodating until you take their niceness for stupidity, then they can be very detailed in their reaction.

E be like sey dem don do covenant yo stamp out all Igbo advantages out of the west at all levels.

I am sure that the mindset is that, they will stop accepting what igbos will never permit in their states and cities.

Last last all na vanity....everything begins and ends here on earth.

I laugh whenever I see fools celebrate when Israeli soldiers sustain casauslties. In war, every side must lose men but who has the higher advantage is what matters but no, our
Nigerian online terrorists will tell you that Israel is gone.

Israel has active nuke, Iran has not but no, our Nigerian online terrorists will brag foolishly and blindly that Iran can wipe out Israel in two seconds.

Russia has been tide down with Ukraine and their military capabilities stretched thin but no, our Nigerian online terrorists will tell you happily that Russia will come to the aid of Iran if need be forgetting that Putin himself is grabbing at straws and now realize that his unprovoked unslaught on Ukraine is a huge miscalculation and wouldn't want to engage in any conflict that the US will be supplying weapons to its enemy.

The Bible says that no nation will defeat Israel and God uses US to defend Israel but no, our Nigerian online terrorists want God to misuse his power and come down from Heaven.

I don't care what they think, it does not change the situation on ground.

Israel will always win grin grin grin
but who are these Nigerian terrorists

Religion / Re: Did Jesus Tell Us Not To Judge Or People Misunderstood Him? by pongwa(m): 2:51pm On Oct 06
Corrections:
Christians around the world often claim that Judging people is a sin because Jesus had told us not to do so. These Christians back their claims reciting Matthew 7:1-6

Matthew 7:1-6

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

The truth is that Jesus didn’t say that we shouldn’t judge. He only thought us the consequences of not doing it the right way. Remember that Jesus is not against justice and fairness.

Luke 11:42

Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.

Someone has got to be judged for justice to be effected. Imagine the chaos that will be in a society where people do as they like (robberies , killings and rapes) without a justice system in place.

Now, what Jesus is saying is that anyone who judges should do so based on the “truth”. This means do not say anything that is not correct or true about anyone. Jesus is against the sin of lying, anytime anyone judges someone based on evidences that are not correct is “lying “. That is why judges of this world have to be extremely careful, they must ensure that they establish the truth before pronouncing judgement on people.Hear what Jesus said below:

John 7:24 ESV
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.

Now with this understanding let us further dig into what Jesus was trying to communicate to us in Matt 7 :1-6.

“Do not judge (it is better to remain neutral in matters you have not established the truth), or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others (if founded that your judgment was far from the truth, that will only make you a liar and a sinner) you will be judged, and with the measure you use (since you have become a liar judging people based on what is not true) it will be measured to
you (the punishment for liars will be given to
you too).


“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? (Your sense of judgment is wrong by denying yourself of the truth, you believe that your brother has the biggest problem while you have little or no problem).

Therefore, we can conclude based on the scriptures here that if you must judge, it has to be done truthfully and not that you “should not” judge.




HOW TO CONNECT WITH JESUS

John14:6
Jesus told him ' I am the way-
Yes, and the truth and the life. No one can GET to the father (GOD) except by means of me (JESUS ).


Say lord Jesus am sorry for the sins have committed and today I accept you as the son of God and as my lord and personal savior. Help me to follow you now and for ever more. Amen!!!
verily verily I say unto you. Do not judge simple whether you claim to know the fact or not. Remove judgement from you and you will be free of God's judgement. Thank you

I have always told myself Christianity is one of the most controversial religion. So confusing. You will see one thing in one part, the opposite will be in another part.


That is y it is easy to twist its words to suit what you want to tell the audience
which religion isn't? Islam has several sects which believes slightly different doctrines but adhere to general norms In the religion. That is to show you the imperfections of man trying to grasp the God phenomenon

Gistmedia10:
Aliko Dangote, Africa’s wealthiest businessman, has recently spoken out about the immense challenges facing his refinery operations, emphasizing the power of what he refers to as the "oil industry mafia." In a statement drawing attention to the deeply entrenched interests within Nigeria's oil sector, Dangote compared the strength of this network to that of drug cartels, saying, “I never knew that the oil industry mafia is stronger than the drug cartel. It’s a big cartel. I will say this everywhere.” shocked
Ode di Dangote sa. The cartel of the drug trade are everywhere, they go deep
This bold comment comes amid ongoing friction between Dangote's $19 billion refinery and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), as he attempts to navigate the complexities of the oil market. His refinery, which is poised to transform Nigeria's oil refining capabilities, has faced significant obstacles, allegedly stemming from entrenched interests within the sector resistant to competition.

The statement highlights the fierce power struggles in an industry critical to Nigeria’s economy, but one that has been plagued by corruption, inefficiencies, and monopolistic practices. Dangote's revelation has sparked widespread discussion, especially given the scale of his refinery project, which is expected to reduce the country's dependency on imported fuel and drive down fuel prices.

This ongoing tussle between Dangote's refinery and the NNPC underscores the broader issues within Nigeria’s oil industry, as reform efforts continue to clash with the vested interests of those who control large portions of the market. Many are now watching to see if Dangote's refinery can overcome these challenges and disrupt the long-standing oil cartel.






Dangote doesn't know the same cartels are everywhere from drug to mining to oil and gas. Let him mention it so we can correlate

You are one of the problems of Nigeria, you are too gullible, the luck that Gej had was that subsequent presidents turned out to be worse than him. Compare economic indices under Obj with that of Gej, if you aren't bias or a simpleton, the differences will be clear to you.

Omo Kano to Lagos in 2017 was around 32k (late booking). Someone said Lagos to Sokoto is over 200k (late booking) now. Seems BAT economy is not sustainable afterwards since there is no middle class earners (you are either rich or poor). The funny thing is that some people are still balling recklessly.

Dangote refinery is a business venture owned by a private individual who is out to make profit. The employees (expatriates) collect salaries running into thousands of dollars in their offshore accounts. Explain to me how the international factors wouldn't determine the prices?
I do not understand the level of ignorance among Nigerian populace. I believe we have a lot of graduates across all disciplines. Dangote is not our saviour, we need to get our refineries working. Moreso, oil is no more that profitable because the world is going for alternative sources of energies.
