00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			May I stand on the existing,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			protocol?
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			My name is,
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			Andrea.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			I'm a lecturer in this institution. Please please
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			let the sister ask a question. Sister, can
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			you speak a bit loudly and slowly? Yeah.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			I'm a lecturer in this institution. I work
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			in mass communication department. Sorry. You're working? In
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			mass communication
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			Mass communication. Masha'allah. That's my field also. Mass
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			communication. Yeah.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			So with all due respect,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			I would like to clear something that, you
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			know, the young man could not really explain
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			very well. The bible recorded the trinity.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			Christ said that I and my father are
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			1. Very good. And when Christ was living
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			this world, he told his his followers, I'm
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			going in the Holy Spirit. Do you know,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			sister, do you that time. Sister, do you
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			know the reference Excuse me. Excuse me. Sister,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			do you know I have really studied many
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:03
			many
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			many many religions
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06
			including,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			Islam, Buddhism,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			traditional,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			and a lot of them. Even the Jewish,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			they say, but from my own observation,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			every religion is talking about peace.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			So
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			concerning what is you said that the only
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			way somebody can have peace is through
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			Islamism.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			You are right, but that should be only
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			for the Muslims.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			So that for those who are non Muslims,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			they can still find peace by doing the
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			right thing because God is 1. That is
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			the concept of God.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			So let us stop talking about
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			religion politics.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			Let us talk about uniting our nation
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			because this is the problem we're having.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			Look at our group oil. We have refineries
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			and they're not functioning. I will reply to
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			you, sister. Oh, god. I will reply to
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			you. This is not a lecture time.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			Come on, please. Sister, this is not a
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			lecture time. Did you hear the rules? Your
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			question should be in 2 or 3 sentences.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			No way. This is the question answer time,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			not a lecturing time. I have understood your
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			question. You told me. You have quoted me
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			from the bible That's the nation. That I
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			and my father are 1.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			I want to know Please. Do you know
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			the reference?
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			Do you know where does the Bible says
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			Yes. Where Jesus Christ said, I and my
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			father are 1? Yes. The Bible says so
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			in book of Matthew.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			You're wrong. Nowhere does the Bible say in
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			book of Matthew. John
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:31
			10. John 10.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			Bible says Go to John 10 too and
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			don't let and then
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			man. Let us
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			let
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			us great man in our own image and
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			likeness.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			Mister, you have misquoted your bible.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			I cannot hear you. Okay. You are shouting
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			I cannot hear you. Now your time is
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:01
			over.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			Wait wait, sister finish. You cannot talk for
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			long. Please.

			If you understand English, this is a questionnaire
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			that I'm not giving a speech time. Listen.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			You are supposed to ask the question in
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			2 or 3 sentences. You are holding the
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

			You ask a question, I want to reply.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			problem.

			She told What's with what's the Jesus said,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			I and my father are in gospel of
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			Matthew. She's lying.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			Jesus said in the gospel of John chapter
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			number 10 verse number 30. I and my
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			father are 1.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			She doesn't know a Bible. She claims to
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			be a Christian. Yeah. Beat you.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			She is quoting a verse of the Bible
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			and she's saying it's in gospel of Matthew.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			She's trying to pull a fast one.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			No. She's trying to pull a fast one.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			First question. Let me reply. Please.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			What is the context?
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			What is the context of gospel of John
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			chapter number 10? Let the lady listen to
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			my answer. Brother,
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			let her listen to the answer.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			She has a problem. She wants to give
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			a lecture, free lecture.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			When she saw 20,000 people coming, she wants
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			to give a free lecture. She wants to
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			break the rules.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			So anyone breaks the rule?
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			I clearly mentioned that the question should be
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			asked in 2 or 3 sentences.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			The sister
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			quoted a verse from the Bible.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			Gospel of John, chapter number 10, verse number
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			30. I and my father are 1.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			What is the context?
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			I request everyone to be silent.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			I request the people to be silent, please.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			I request the audience
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			I request the audience to be silent.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			Other people here Muslims of Nigeria.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			Are you Muslims?
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			Yeah. So please keep quiet. Yeah.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			Please keep quiet.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			I want silence.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			I want silence, please.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			If someone is talking about Islam,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			please keep quiet.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			The sister quoted a she quoted a verse
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			of the Bible. She gave wrong reference. What
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			she said, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			said, I and my father are 1. My
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			challenge was
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			point out a single unequivocal statement,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			a single unambiguous statement where Jesus Christ, peace
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			be upon, himself said that I am God
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			or where he says worship me, I accept
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			Christianity.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			I and my father are 1 does not
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			mean I'm God.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			What is the context?
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			For the context, you have to go 7
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			verses before. If you read the gospel of
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			John, chapter number 10, verse number 23, it
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			says, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, entered
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			the porch in Solomon's temple.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			Verse number 24,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			the Jews surrounded him
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			and asked him,
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			how long does make us doubt? If thou
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			art the Christ, tell us plainly.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			Verse number 25, Jesus Christ, peace be upon
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			him, said,
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			I told you but you believe not. The
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			work that I do, bear witness of my
		
00:06:59 --> 00:06:59
			father.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			Verse number 26,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			you are not my sheep, therefore you believe
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:04
			not in me.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			Verse number 27,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			who follow me, they listen to me.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			Verse number 28, no man can pluck them
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			out of my hand. Verse number 29, my
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			father is greater than all. No man can
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			pluck them out of my father's hand. I
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			and my father are 1. What is the
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			context?
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			If I say my father is a doctor,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			I am a doctor, I and my father
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			are 1, do we become 1 human me?
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			You don't know English?
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			My father is a doctor. I am a
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			doctor. I and my father are 1. Meaning
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			purpose, we are 1. We both are doctors.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			So here Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			saying, no man can pluck them out of
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			my hand, the followers.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			No man can pluck them out of my
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			father's hand. I and my father are 1.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			That means in delivering the message of God,
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			they are 1.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			Nor does it mean they are 1 in
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:51
			purpose.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			The sister doesn't know the context. Therefore, I
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			say, I'm more Christian than you because I
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			follow your Bible more than what you are
		
00:07:59 --> 00:07:59
			following.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			Verse number 31.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			The Jews, they pick up stones
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			to stone Jesus Christ peace be upon him.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			So Jesus Christ peace be upon him replied
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			in verse number 32.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			Many good works have I done, for which
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			of the good works do you want to
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			stone me? Verse number 33. We do not
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			stone you for any good work. We stone
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			you because you blaspheme.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			You being a man, you call yourself God.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			Same thing how the sister is thinking that
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			Jesus called God.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			So Jesus replies, is it not mentioned in
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			your scriptures?
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			82nd Psalms verse number 6, if the word
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			of God comes to Him and if you
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			call him God, the scripture is not broken.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			Jesus is telling the Jews who want to
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			stone him. I'm not blaspheming.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			If the word of God came to whom
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			and you call him God, the scripture is
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			not broken.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			So I'm reading the Bible.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			I'm following the Bible more than that brother,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			more than the sister. They are screaming screaming
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			screaming.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			She's like, Matthew Matthew doesn't say only I
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			and my father are 1.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			She doesn't want to apologize, oh, so I
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			made a mistake.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			She wants to keep on talking and wants
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			to give a free lecture. You want to
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			give a lecture?
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			Give an ad in the paper.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			You have mass communication
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			and see how many turn up.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			I doubt that even 200 will turn up.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			Leave aside 20,000.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			So Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, never
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			claimed divinity.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			He never said, I'm God.
