When confronted with foreigners treating Nigerians badly; because they are Nigerians.
There are three main options;
1. Fight back. Nobody (even fellow Africans) are ever going to like Nigerians - but if there are clear consequences, if they treat Nigerians badly, they will think twice.
2. Fight the corruption back home that fuels these perceptions.
3. Wallow in self-pity. "We are treated so badly because collectively, we are the worst people on Earth". This is useless, and will not accomplish anything, in 1,000 years. The is the default position of many Nigerians on this social media platform.
In America, you can poison your colleague for years because you view her as a rival and want to take her out of the picture & you will spend only one day in jail and be eligible to get your felony charge cleared and your slate clean.
Ignorance shall never end. A lot of things happened yesterday that I was not online. Thank God I am seeing them one by one. You all wont get away with your propaganda and lies. I am here for all of you.
When people build their faith on emotional rhetoric rather than rigorous study, they expose their intellectual bankruptcy in public. Let’s get straight to it.
First, she started by weaponizing the Hadith about the Prophet's final illness, claiming he used his last moments to curse Jews and Christians. This is a severe misrepresentation of the text.
The Prophet was not issuing a random, hateful insult. He was delivering a strict theological warning. He warned his followers not to build places of worship over his grave, citing the historical mistake of previous nations who turned the resting places of their prophets into shrines. It was a protective command to preserve strict monotheism.
You do not have to take my word for it. Just read Peter Brown, the foremost historian of Late Antiquity, and his foundational book: “The Cult of the Saints.”
He thoroughly documented how early Christians began building altars and basilicas directly over the graves of martyrs, turning human tombs into sites of worship and divine intercession.
The Prophet was looking at the historical reality of how the followers of Jesus corrupted pure monotheism by praying at gravesites. He was protecting his Ummah from repeating that same historical error. It was a calculated defense of the oneness of God, not a petty curse.
Second, she then criticized his order to expel polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula. Funnily, she is confusing a vital state policy with personal animosity.
The Prophet was the Head of State. The Arabian Peninsula was the central sanctuary and military headquarters of the Islamic state. Therefore, securing the geopolitical heart of a nascent nation from hostile, treasonous factions is standard statecraft. Every sovereign nation secures its capital.
Again, her reliance on the Gospel of Luke to prove Jesus is superior is where her academic deficiency shines brightest. She quoted Luke 23:34, where Jesus supposedly says, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do".
But let us ask a basic historical question. Who wrote the Gospel of Luke? The author never identifies himself in the text. You do not have to guess this. The works of leading New Testament scholars such as Bart Ehrman in his book:“Jesus, Interrupted” or Raymond E. Brown in: “An Introduction to the New Testament”, confirmed this for us.
They confirmed the historical consensus that the Gospel of Luke was written anonymously, decades after the time of Jesus, by someone who was not an eyewitness. This is why in the very first verses of Luke, the anonymous author admits he is compiling stories handed down by others.
To make matters worse, any serious textual critic will tell you that Luke 23:34 is a later interpolation. It is completely missing from the earliest and most reliable Greek manuscripts, like Papyrus 75 and the Codex Vaticanus. Unknown scribes added it to the text centuries later.
That is to say, she is using a fabricated quote, inserted by unknown scribes into an anonymous book written by a non-eyewitness, to claim theological superiority. No be juju be that?
If we want to talk about documented forgiveness, look at the historical Conquest of Mecca. The Prophet (peace be upon him) conquered a city of people who tortured his followers and murdered his family for years. He had total military dominance. Instead of mass execution, he granted them full amnesty. Emphasis on full amnesty.

When you brag, you invite scrutiny, and even if your claims withstand it, you’ve admitted that their opinion matters enough to seek their admiration.
You may think you’re above them, yet still need them to agree. Indifference would make that agreement unnecessary, which is why bragging can undermine the very confidence it tries to communicate.
You’re asking someone to confirm that you don’t need their approval. 🤣
They always want to try so hard to establish their "humanity" that even the smartest of them would argue against something as unassailable as gender. Their saviour complex halves their IQ. You could watch the temporary decline in faculties as they got upset that you could very
There is something deeply satisfying about watching the giant fog machine fail.
A judge does something absurd, dresses it up in the language of compassion and theory, then discovers that an American Senate hearing is one of those inconvenient places where someone may actually read the words aloud and ask what the hell they mean.
No euphemisms. No activist jargon. No institutional shrug.
You wrote it. You defended it. Now explain it in public.
More of this. Much more.
