In 2006, Nigerian businessman Frank Ogboru was on holiday in England.... 4 met police pinned him down after a minor incident, he told them he couldn't breathe, they thot he was faking it (heard that b4?). He went silent and died.
No police officer was charged...
This submission is flawed in its entirety.
As a young man who witnessed the 2002 crisis between the Hausas (mostly Muslims) and the OPC/Yorubas in Ajegunle, I no longer see any reason to place Islam above my ethnicity.
The OPC/Yorubas were nearly annihilated by the Hausas during that conflict, but they were saved by the Ilejas (mostly Christians), who came to their rescue as fellow Yorubas. The Ilejas who joined the OPC to confront the Hausas did not care about religion; they simply saw a fellow Yoruba in need.
The Hausas, for their part, also paid no attention to religion. Once someone was identified as Yoruba, they were either killed or severely injured, regardless of whether they were Muslim or Christian.
While some Yoruba Muslims were preoccupied with religious brotherhood, the Hausas were busy protecting their fellow Hausas irrespective of religion and attacking Yorubas irrespective of religion.
If, in this day and age and in a country like Nigeria, some Yorubas are still publicly displaying this kind of mindset, then there is serious trouble in Yorubaland.
Being a Muslim or a Christian is a personal choice, but being Yoruba or belonging to any other ethnicity is not. It is the divine will that determines one’s birth into a Yoruba home and to Yoruba parents.
You can change your religion at any time, but you cannot change your ethnicity or tribe. That alone should make it clear that ethnicity comes before religion. It is your identity from before birth and will remain so after you depart this world. God/Allah/Eledumare made it that way.
May Eledumare help us in Yoruba land. 🤦
Suddenly everybody on Twitter loves people with Down Syndrome so much and that couple who aborted their DS baby are devils.
All of you condemning them:
How many DS children have you raised?
How many DS adults are you friends with / hang out with?
How many DS people do you date?
We all know the answer to these questions.
99% of the people sitting on their moral high horse neither care for people with Down Syndrome nor do they include them in their lives in any way.
They have never gone to any orphanage to consider adopting a child with DS.
They would never consider seriously being friends with or spending time with a person with DS.
Some of them are even repulsed by people with DS but want to pretend they are saints when it’s time to condemn that couple.
Why would any loving mother choose that fate for her child?
Do you think mothers of children with DS are happy seeing their children being excluded and rejected, and never being able to live a full independent life?
Let alone the fact that whenever a family with a disabled child breaks up, 9 times out of 10 the father abandons the mother with the disabled child and the woman becomes a lifelong hostage unable to live life because she has been enslaved to the endless care of her disabled child.
On top of that she spends her entire life worrying who will care for her child after she dies and because of this worry some old women have even killed their disabled child and killed tnemselves out of despair and worry of what will happen to their child.
So what was the point?
After listening to wicked people at the time of pregnancy and not aborting, spending a lifetime caring for the child without respite, only to end up still killing the child because SURPRISE SURPRISE, none of those people who shamed you to not abort were willing to volunteer to help care for your disabled child to give you a break while you were young, or now that you’re too old and frail to continue.
These people just want to see women as slaves in every unpleasant situation in the world, and as a woman you are the only say and the FINAL say on whether you give birth to a child or not, because when the suffering begins NONE OF THESE PEOPLE WILL EVER SUFFER WITH YOU.
Orthodox churches have a doctrine that’s not dependent on 1 person. Power is not centralized in one person. Sure there’s a head, but there are many levels of checks and balances. This is why it works.
This fate awaits all Pentecostals.
How the catholics, Mormons, Anglicans, JW, ECWA, Methodist, Baptists...hacked this transition thing is still baffling.
Theology is not for the weak.
On the day the whole political establishment claims we do not live in a two tier country, they announce this.
Note, the NHS makes NO drugs available exclusively to white people.
actually you know what
why the FUCK havent we made blenders quieter, we found a way to silence guns, SURELY someone can silence a blender
please
theyre so fucking loud
This sounds really cruel until you realize a war has been happening in the north east for about two decades now and we have a refugee crisis right now in this country. I can bet you’ve partied in these two decades.
Again, what is the “right way” when you’re fleeing a war zone with your children? Do you think anybody chooses to be illegal because it’s such an easy life and they get king treatment like you people think? What is the “right way” to seek asylum?
You still don’t get it. It doesn’t matter if you came by the most legal way, one policy can render you illegal as we’ve now seen. Everyone is political bait, regardless of how you came. So you joining them to fight “illegals” won’t exclude you from the same treatment
When people say “they are close to Lagos”, “they are now in Oyo state”, I really don’t understand
The places they’ve been attacking are not as important?
Agreed. So was relying on international students’ exorbitant tuition to keep universities running, thereby effectively crashing the higher education system when those new laws were passed.
Even as a Protestant, I can't lie there's something impressive about a centralized institution that can produce a high-level response to emerging issues like AI and put it in front of the global Church and the world.
