BluntTheApostle:


Don't politicize the issue.

People have been committing suicide long before the economic issue.

Recently, a boy committed suicide because a girl dumped him. I guess it was also APC that caused the dumping.

There was the guy who killed himself some years back. It was said that it was not his first time of attempting suicide.

If we continue to underrate depression by making silly jokes, it will only get worse.

In developed countries, hotlines are being created to manage suicidal thoughts. In Nigeria, we are busy politicizing.

BluntTheApostle:


That is because the world has become a global village.

There are mobile phones, internet, decoders. So, all these things go viral easily unlike before.

The world is changing. It is not Nigeria alone.

Centuries ago, it was said that you could put your goods in the market without staying there and no one will steal it. People will take what they want to buy and leave the money on the table of the seller. The seller will return and find his money right there untouched.

Can you try it in today's world where greed has risen and many people are desperate to ride big cars and live in mansions.

You don’t understand the Significance of his Throne and it’s heritage

Not everyone likes King Charles but they Understand the Significance Of the

The Throne Of Lagos is the Same, It represents the Kingdom Of Lagos

Righteousness2:
Let nobody or Spirit deceive or confuse you. Suicide is not an Escape route.

Suicide is not rest.

Suicide is an evil wicked Spirit.
Suicide is Murder.
Suicide is straight to Destruction.
Suicide is Straight to Hell Fire.
You Have no right to take your life.

No matter your Matter, Encourage yourself in GOD. Look up to GOD. Seek for GOD.
He Alone is the perfect one to give you rest.

Halo22:
In spite of the harsh economic situation in the country, we should not write off the suggestion by that traditionalist about appeasing the spirit. Unfortunately, the Oba of Lagos does not take cognizance of his duty as the chief custodian of tradition and custom in the land. He lives his life as if he is in the western world.

About Mermaids

So saying, he began to show me some of the curiosities of the laboratory,
which contained many strange things.


Of some of those I had read in books on alchemy; others were entirely new to me. At last we came to a closed shrine, and my curiosity led me to ask what it contained.


"Oh!" answered the monk, "this shrine contains some powders for fumigations, by the aid of which a man may see the Elemental Spirits of
Nature."


"Indeed!" I exclaimed. "Oh, how I should like to see these lovely spirits! I have read a great deal about them in the books of Paracelsus; but I never
had an opportunity of seeing them."


"They are not all of them lovely," said the monk.

"The Elementals of earth have human forms.
They are small, but they have the power to elongate their bodies. These gnomes and pigmies are usually ill-humoured and cross; and it is just as well to leave them alone, although sometimes they become very good friends of man, and may even show him hidden treasures and mines.


The Elementals of air, the sylvans, are of a more agreeable nature; still we cannot rely upon their friendship.


The salamanders, living in the element of fire, are ugly customers, and it is better to have nothing to do with them.

But the nymphs and undines(water spirit) are lovely creatures, and they often associate with man."






"I wish I could see those beautiful water-sprites," I said; "but I am inclined to believe that they belong to the realm of the fable.


For many years, accounts given by seafaring men spoke of mermen and mermaids, which they insisted on having seen at a distance.


They said that those people were like human
beings, of whom the upper part resembled a man or a woman, while the lower part of their body was a fish.


They told great stories about their beauty, their waving hair, and how finely they could sing; and they called them sirens, because it was said they could sing so well that men who heard their voices would become oblivious of everything else but their songs.


At last, such a siren was caught; and it proved to be nothing else than a curious fish of the species called Halicore catacca, which at a distance may be mistaken for a man, on account of its colour, and which barks somewhat like a dog.

Perhaps those undines and nymphs are also nothing but fishes."




"This is a most erroneous opinion, my dear sir," answered the monk. "The halicore is a fish; but the nymphs and undines are Elemental spirits of
nature, living in the element of water, being, under ordinary circumstances, invisible to man, and not being able therefore to be caught in this manner.




'They are almost like human beings, but far more ethereal and beautiful; and under certain circumstances they may be seen by man.


They may even attain a permanent material form and remain on land; and a case is even known in
which a certain Count Stauffenberg married such a nymph on account of her beauty and lived with her for more than a year, until some stupid theologian frightened him by telling him that his wife was a devil.


The count at that time had fallen in love with some good-looking peasant-girl, and so the
interference of the preacher was welcome, and he took this as a pretext to drive his true wife away.


But she revenged herself; and on the third day after his second marriage the count was found dead in his bed. These nymphs are very beautiful. They are strong in love, and are constant; but they are also said to be very jealous."



The more the monk spoke about the water-nymphs, the stronger grew my desire to see them. I asked him to put me in communication with those beautiful spirits; but he made all sorts of excuses, which, however, only served still more strongly to excite my curiosity.




"We are living here in this sinful world, and ought not to meddle with the inhabitants of another.
We are all sinners and liable to succumb to
temptations.


These water-nymphs are continually seeking to be united with men, and they have good reason for it, because they have no immortal souls.


Becoming united with man they form a link with his soul, and thus partake of his immortality."

"Why, then," I exclaimed, "do you hesitate to conjure these beings? I would only be too happy to convey the gift of immortality to one of these beautiful spirits.

Moreover, I would consider this as an act of charity and duty, and if such a nymph should insist upon marrying me, I can see no reason why I should object if she were amiable.

Besides, it would be quite an extraordinary thing to have a water-nymph for a wife."


"They are not only very amiable," said the monk, "but they are also very obedient to their husbands.

Such a water-nymph has no will of her own; she
regards her husband as her saviour and god, never contradicts or scolds him, but is always ready to obey his commands, fulfil his wishes, and gratify his desires.



She is very modest in her demands, needs no luxuries, and requires nothing except occasionally a short excursion to the seashore, which will cause you no expense whatever, because she has her own method of travelling."



I could restrain myself no longer, and earnestly begged the monk to make a fumigation with the mysterious powder.

At last, he consented.

Not all

Eriokanmi:
I think you are right. God created them all and placed them in their positions. Na we man dey look for wetin now lost by encroaching on their territories. There was a day we had a security meeting in our estate. The night guard came and said he was no more interested in the job cos the salary was too small, compared to the risk involved. We all agreed to increase his pay. He now said, at times in the night, he used to see spirits walk around, that there was a night he saw one from afar, that he had to give way for it to pass because he had no business with it.

When we talk of Yoruba nation, Biafra, there are some of them online who mock us.

Hehehe, these are complete fools! They will yab us, insult us... and defend their politicians who have made their lives a living hell.

Maybe some of them in 2020 were there saying "Oh-oh, stop this #EndSARS protest. I want to go to my shop, stop blocking the roads. Everybody should go to their state etc." See some of them are now commiting suicide. Some of them were online saying: "Nobody died in toll gate". "Soldiers should do another python dance in the east". "Igboho don run, hin jazz no work". "Buratai na true odogwu". "Herdsmen invasion is a scam, islamization is a scam, na una dey kill and kidnap unasef". If these are the group of people commiting suicide, I wouldn't give a hoot.

Are you all tired of defending your oppressors? Let me tell some of una something. If you let Nigeria continue beyond 2023, some of you will eat sand and grass as balanced diet. If you like, argue.

I thought you were going to quote this

Ezekiel 29:

1In the tenth year, in the tenth month on the twelfth day, the word of the Lord came to me: 2“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt. 3Speak to him and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“ ‘I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
you great monster lying among your streams.
You say, “The Nile belongs to me;
I made it for myself.”
4But I will put hooks in your jaws
and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales.
I will pull you out from among your streams,
with all the fish sticking to your scales.
5I will leave you in the desert,
you and all the fish of your streams.



God describes pharaoh as a River Monster
Pharaoh and Egypt depended on Powers and Principalities associated with Rivers and God Almighty
Passed Judgement on them all

The Ancient Egyptians actually used to Worship the Nile and many of their evil Occult practices were associated with it

Eriokanmi:
Despite all the creation and creatures, God is above all and must be elevated above all that was created by Him. God created everything including the river and river goddess people worship instead of worshiping the one who created them all.

PrinceOfLagos:
The APC government has driven many Nigerians to suicide and death

It was difficult to read or hear that Nigerians killed themselves or jump inside lagoon in the past till APC came to power

We must vote them out
