@FinPlanKaluAja1 A lose-lose situation

[That Guy @LordBogos]

Lmao I have always maintained that Messi didn’t need to win with Argentina. It was YOU people who said he was a fraud because he couldn’t “win outside Barca”. Now that he has done it, suddenly you’re singing the same song we used to sing lmao. Get out of here

[Faithfulness Okom @AttorneyF_]

Again I ask, what exactly is Islam? Is it the principle of submission in the abstract? Is it the Quran as it reflects that principle? Or is it Muhammad as he embodies it? Because whichever answer you land on, “perfect” is the last word that survives contact with the evidence.

Your tweet is a classic rhetorical escape hatch. Abstract a religion high enough and it floats above all criticism. But faith cannot survive as a vacuum, it lives in its exemplar. Christianity presents Jesus as the flawless embodiment of its own theology, a figure whose moral perfection holds without needing to be retrofitted by the standards of any century. Even in Islamic theology, Jesus is recognized as sinless. So a Christian can say Christian’s aren’t perfect but Christ is.

Muhammad stands at the peak of the Islamic hill as the ‘Uswa Hasana’, the eternal, timeless pattern of conduct for all mankind. If Islam is perfect, its timeless exemplar must be perfect. But the moment his actions are held to a timeless standard, the defense collapses into historical relativism.

To defend his life as perfect, you must argue that child marriage, the consummation of a marriage with a nine-year-old, the execution of captives, and the immediate sexual consumption of women taken in raids were all merely the norms of 7th-century Arabia. Fine. But then you have surrendered the entire argument. If an action requires the moral context of the 7th century to be excused, it cannot by definition be the timeless moral standard for the 21st. You cannot have both.

Sahih Bukhari records that Muhammad was severely affected by magic for months, to the point of imagining he had done things he had not done. If the seal of all prophecy can have his cognitive reality overwritten by a spell, divine protection means something far thinner than you have been told.

Then what I find most interesting is the question of how he died. Surah Al-Haqqah (69:44-46) is explicit: if the Prophet were to fabricate revelations, Allah would seize him and cut his aorta. It is offered as the divine guarantee of his authenticity. Yet Sahih Bukhari records Muhammad on his deathbed still feeling the lingering effects of the poison he consumed at Khaybar, concluding: “this is the time when it seems that my aorta is being cut by that poison.”

Your own scripture says the test of a false prophet is that Allah will cut his aorta. Your own tradition records that your prophet died believing his aorta was being cut. That is a serious theological problem. And abstracting “Islam” into some frictionless idea above all this does not solve it.

My dearest sister Ngozi @NOIweala ,

It is with profound sorrow that I received the sad news of the demise of Prince Ikechukwu Okonjo, your younger brother.

The loss of a younger sibling is an arduous and grievous experience. Please accept my sincerest sympathies, extended to you, the esteemed royal family of the Ogwashi-Uku Kingdom, and all individuals who held Prince Ikechukwu in their affections.

May God Almighty who called him home grant him eternal rest in His kingdom, and grant your family the fortitude to bear his irreplaceable loss.

God Almighty bless your family always. -PO

Messi’s World Cup was not “gifted” or carried. He was the main force from start to finish, goals, assists, chance creation, leadership, and consistency in every round. Argentina did well as a team, but Messi was clearly the driving influence in almost every key moment

[Kashyap Sriram @kashyap286]

Firstly, Ethiopia is under US sanctions while Vietnam is not. And speaking of former French colonies, Haiti was the first to get independence (1804) and is still one of the poorest countries in the world because of the debt they had to take on to gain independence (it took them until 1947 to fully repay it!). Whereas, New Caledonia is still a French colony and is neither rich nor poor.

"If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor..."

This line completely ignores the European powers' (and US) post-colonial control over Africa. Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the DRC, was tortured and killed by Belgium and the US for being a nationalist. His body was dissolved in acid so he wouldn't become a martyr. His legacy is largely unknown even within the continent. Several other such "lessons" were meted out. Google Thomas Sankara (Burkina Faso) and Sylvanus Olympio (Togo).

Once you set the example, you gain obedience. The VietCong, on the other hand, didn't surrender even though 3 million Vietnamese died during the war, and several thousand more continue to die to this day (!) from Agent Orange exposure.

As for former French colonies in Africa, France still controls their currency and holds their central bank reserves in France. As Rothschild purportedly said, "permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."

Third, the borders in Africa were drawn in such a way that conflict was inevitable. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-85, the European powers simply carved up the continent by drawing straight line borders. African leaders were conspicuous only by their absence at this historic event which shaped the next century. This is why Cameroon, a French-speaking country, has a minority English-speaking territory, ensuring it remains destabilized. Likewise for West Asia/the Middle East, where the Sykes-Picot legacy lives on.

@magattew conflates formal colonial rule with colonial control. Vietnam managed to fully kick out both France and the US, reunified the North and the South, and kept its sovereignty. All African leaders who attempted the same have been systematically eliminated (see Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's divisive leader, for a recent example), ensuring Africa forever bears the open wounds of its colonial legacy.

But Ms. Wade is right on one thing: Vietnam owes its prosperity to overcoming colonial rule. Maybe Africa can become prosperous if Africans do the same.

In fact it’s the opposite. Only this new generation will root for Spain. True Barça OGs will always support Messi. It’s as simple as that. You wouldn’t get it though.

"argentina hatewatch" for this wc kills me dawg, messi is already the greatest player in the history of this sport and nothing that happens at age 39 will change that, it wont erase qatar. All a hatewatch is doing is telling me you perennial losers need to heal

30 Day Challenge – Day 30 ✅

Thirty days ago, most scholars in this cohort were applying to scholarships. By now, they are preparing for them.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. Applying is reactive.

Preparation is deliberate. The work done over these thirty days, on self awareness, positioning, documents, strategy and mindset, does not expire when the challenge ends. It compounds every time it is applied to a real opportunity.

The challenge closes today. The journey it started does not.
