God DAMN!!!!!

I fvcking need assault rifle to sleep with my eyes closed in Nigeria.

I keep telling people that burglary proof is to only slowdown armed robbers for maximum of five minutes.

I need guns to protect myself while on visit in Nigeria.

How do I get one to protect myself while in Nigeria?
the choice of hollow pipes for burglary proofing in non-secure ungated estates is a poor one.
it'll probably take three or four times longer to cut through a solid rod or bar and thieves dont want all that stress and risk. when they do thier reconnaissance na soft targets them dey find.

Na to secretly connect all your metal burglary proofing to one special switch in one hidden place like that wey only you fit access. once they come disturbing , get the whole family to a safe location and energize the thing and the rest is history grin grin

the smart ones will cut your power supply sha if youre on the grid

Absolutely!! without a doubt.
My wife thought I was crazy to trust an absolute stranger, a Nigerian for that matter!! cheesy with an ungodly sum of money not only to deliver but to deliver the agreed numbers and agreed quality or better. on some occassions He upgraded some items they didnt have in stock and left it open for me to choose to pay or not pay for the upgrades.most sellers would downgrade and tell you its the same or not tell you at all. I am a very good judge of character and I study ppl before I even attempt to engage them.

useful recommendations, high end brands, and good after sales relations. some items were damaged during transit and were replaced without plenty grammar. Once most sellers collect Money, you are O-Y-O

Alcopacetic is simply the best.

Imagine he upgraded some of items I paid for but no more in stock. I went ahead to pay him for upgrade he did today but surprisingly he said I didn't need to.

In contrast, I paid someone to supply some materials to me exactly a week ago and I'm yet to see the items delivered. The person is also on nairaland property section.

"The absolute FOOL, says in his heart, God does not exist"! - Psalm 14:1,
........... Professing themselves to be wise, they became Fools - Romans 1: 18-25 (The Holy Bible)


History is replete with stories of men, who been intoxicated with their supposed invincibility, uttered some of the words l have read here-in and you know what, God Himself proved to them that He is real.
Elvis Presley was one of them.
Nechabdunezer was another historical example.

No one should get excited, l am only re-stating things, as l read and understood them.

Having said that, there is a quote l am sure we are all familiar with: "Heaven (God) helps those who help themselves".
What this mean is that One must and should play their own part (the human part), do what needs to be done and is humanly possible .......and then leave the uncoontrolable or seemingly impossible part to God and for God to handle.

Happen-stance and Coincidence does not disprove the existence of God.

Look, each man to his belief.

superb!
whats the difference betwween this and 'POP'?

I believe your question is difference between plasterboard and local precast pop. Here are few...

• Number of design patterns are possible with plasterboard

• It makes work faster, and gives a better finish

• It is far more durable than local precast board

• It is easy to repair

• Plasterboard is fire resistance, while precast can either resist fire or not depending on the material used and process in production

• Precast is in powder form which makes your ceiling work messy and take long time.

• If there will be any leakage in future, you have a better chance with plasterboard since it can absorb twice more water than the strongest produced precast pop.

KEY POINTS:

• Above points only work for European plasterboard.

• More than 90% of plasterboard in the country are either from China or India, so you know the origin of your board when issue arises.

• Plasterboard is same with gypsum board and drywall.

It's funny how many of us believe it is God that protects over here.


You think it is funny, right?


Let me ask you a few questions:


- Have you seen anyone or heard of someone who died while asleep? (I have seen many, many)
- When you were asleep, can you account for all the events that happened around you?
- Do you think those that slept and never woke up, did something wrong, deserve not to wake up or dont want to wake up?
- Do you think there is "any difference in our sleep" (you and l), when we sleep, compared to that of those who slept and never woke up?
- Do you not htink there is not much difference (in terms of awareness ) between a person who is sound-asleep, and a dead person, for the duration of such sleep?
- Do you think you have any control over whether you wake-up after ....or do not, when you sleep?

But when you go to bed, you tell family members or friends: I will see you tomorrow!
Meaning you have HOPE that you will wake up; You BELEIVE you will wake up and you have FAITH, that you will wake-up!!

Now ask yourself: What gives me (you) that Hope, that Belief and faith that you will wake up (knwoing that at that very moment, thousands are going to sleep (just like you) and will never wake-up again?

Does it not occur to you that you are enjoying a "special priviledge", to do what others do and die-off, yet you remian alive?
That PRIVILEDGE is what we call "The Grace of God".

That GRACE of God wakes you up, each time you fall asleep (and literally 'die').

It protects you from Evil/Danger, when you are not even aware of such (have you heard someone say l just got down from that Bus, aminuet before it had that accident, otherwise l would have died along?)

That Grace of God saves your life over and over again, ...until it runs out.
It doe snot mean you are Mr. Invincible, it just means that you are a cut above everyday mishap.


Reflect on these things in your quiet time, even if you are an athteist.

Chief, let's not derail. All what you typed doesn't help in terms of home Security. You don't seem to have the concerns many home owners share. If praying cuts it for you in a s|hit storm where the police can't do anything, good luck bro. Think the police can't be overpowered? Google about race riots in the US and read how peeps were forced to defend themselves.


Ps: which of the many God's comes to save bro?

Spot on as usual Daboomb, Don't bother to educate anyone about the existence of God, they are many on Nairaland spewing trash, they are angry against God, they ridicule anything that has got to do with God, Thomas Paine, Volta and several Atheist spoke against God but before they died, some of them recanted all they said, one of them even said the Bible will be a forgotten book but before he died, his house was a printing press where bibles were printed and distributed globally, greater scientists who invented several things that are globally recognized who denounced God but they later repented when they encounterd the Almighty God, so those small chickens spewing trash both offline and online are inconsequential, I read some post here and laugh at the posters, you are erecting a barricade of barriers to protect your small hut, I will not argue with anyone, when jungle mature, you will call on that same God you disrespect, if you like barricade yourself with American and Russian marine, surround yourself with juju and jazz, it is not enough to secure your life in a wicked world we currently live in, like I said yesterday, Except God watches over you, your security gadgets is rubbish, like Obasanjo will say, Na look l dey look, continue to speak against God, you are definitely not a match to your creator cool
