If put your signature on documents that you haven’t read and don’t have the capacity to comprehend was a person.

Trump in 2018 signed a change in the law which increased the maximum prison term for individuals convicted of mishandling classified information from one to five years.

But that is the least of the bloke’s worries these days.
True. Understanding the contents of documents and the fine prints before signing is key.

Fact A-Some Nigerians hate facts and refuse to understand the fact that facts supersede opinions. cool

Fact B- The hoax about the Russian Hoax was truly a hoax. A baseless hoax cooked up by the GOP

Fact C- America has been waiting since 2016 for Dumpsters to challenge their failed fact check.

GOP— The party with members that waited in Dallas (Dec 2021) for JFK Jr. ,(a guy that’s been dead over 20 years) to appear and (despite being a lifelong Democrat) announce that Trump really won the election.

Declassification or not does not matter when Nuclear docs are involved. Have you been following the news closely? No president can declassify Nuclear Docs, no one, never!

Let me break it down for you. DOJ requested Criminal trump to hand over the government papers with him, why? because he lost security clearance to handle them as soon as he left office.
Criminal trump tried to stall them and inititally resisted.
Then he gave DOJ some boxes and his lawyer signed off that they have given DOJ all classified intel with them. Take note of this.
Then an anonymous tipoff to the DOJ stated that Criminal trump still had some top secret documents with him, meaning he lied when he said he handed them all.
Then the DOJ got a bench warrant, went in and searched him out, recovered 11 top secret documents, including Nuclear docs and payroll of US Spies!

I don't know how else to explain this so you would know Criminal trump does not have an escape here
Well said!

Romanoff:
What is the proof you have that he owns it?

Who else would you advocate we vote for, two entitled old men whose life long ambition is just to become president that they don't care how they get there as long as they do?

The one who masterminded the killing of innocent protesters, the same one who is so corrupt, evidence of his blatant corruption is littered every where?

Please, tell us the "saint" you'd rather we vote for.
@Romanoff,
First off, it's wise that you've chosen to vote.

To be honest, non of these politicians measures up to global standards. Mediocrities have been thrown up in the primaries.
If I were to be in Nigeria to vote, I would vote for non of these 3 men mentioned below under current conditions except
Kingsley Moghalu because he is a technocrat, an ex-Central Bank official, and has good communication skills.


1. Asiwaju Tinubu of pre-2015 would have been okay as a younger man, but he is recovering from an illness at 70 which I know has an advanced cure in the Western countries but I don't know why his personal doctors haven't told him yet. In less than one week he'll be fine.

He should just stay off if he can't take care of himself and communicate more with Nigerian folks.

Tinubu has First Class with Honors from Chicago State University, and he is a certified chartered accountant who worked with the top U.S. consulting firm
Delloite and Mobil Nigeria at senior levels and retired as the Senior Treasurer of Mobil before going into politics in the early 1990.

It is also commendable that the U.S. Embassy since 2003 had issued a widely circulated press release indicating that 'Bola Tinubu is NOT wanted in the U.S. for any crime and has never been convicted in any U.S. court for drug trafficking like those simpletons and ethnic bigots have been falsely claiming. It was only a case of alleged money laundering but he was exonerated.

This is why Asiwaju Tinubu travels regularly to the U.S. since the 1990s and since the 2000s in his private jet.





=> https://www.nairaland.com/7176942/u.s-clears-governor-tinubu-criminal

=> https://www.nairaland.com/2282241/tinubu-never-arrested-nor-convicted


If the current APC government doesn't do anything to reduce the insecurity and reduce the pains of Nigerians, then folks back in Nigeria will not vote for them again.

It's good though that Buhari has refused that petrol subsidy be removed till Dangote Refinery in Ibeju-Lekki is ready, otherwise the suffering in Nigeria would have been far worse than it is.


2. Atiku Abubakar has bribery allegation links with a former American Congressman who was sent to prison for that crime and Atiku was mentioned in that case. The American guy has since served his time in jail.

Atiku is also of the same ethnic stock as the incumbent in APC, so would it be wise for a Fulani to take over from an outgoing Fulani as it is being presently schemed?



3. Last but not least, Peter is well-read like Tinubu [who had a First Class Honors among several other qualifications] but he has some dodgy links or history trailing him.

That Hero beer image that I told you about [with the secessionist sun symbol that has 11 spikes around the sun image just like the one on the secessionist flag] is owned Obi.

He also has not been known to condemn the secessionists and the ethnic bigots who spread vicious lies or incite hate against other ethnicities on many online platforms in very clear terms! A man who is in contention to be President of Nigeria must be seen and heard to be firm with some of his rabid supporters and NOT have an iota of secessionist sympathies behind the veil or curtain.

He also has been sussed out in the media and online contradicting himself, giving out misleading and bombastic figures atimes. I first noticed that in 2019 during a televised debate for the VP candidates. This could be a sign of an underlying cognitive issue or mental fatigue. Due dilligence is key
here. You folks who come from outside Obi's ethnicity have to ask him very critical questions so as not to behave like hysterical lemmings

Even the slogan 'obidient' sounds like what you hear in a doomsday cult group where members have to obey or be obedient to the cult group's leader.

Foreign AffairsRe: Japan: Hirosima Marks 77th Anniversary Of The First Atomic Bomb Attack by AlphaTaikun(op):
peacefull:
Sorry, AlphaTaikun san.

I watched your video over and over again.
But my problem is my English skill sad
I can't perfectly understand what that video saying.
Very very few talk I could understand. embarassed

If I'm not misunderstood, that video is before dropped atomic bomb in Nagasaki and that's after dropped atomic bomb in Hiroshima.
And I couldn't hear he said Nagasaki or city name.

I knew that Japanese meeting about surrender or not.
That is supreme war council.
That in video is from movie?

One of things I want you to know about me is I'm not hating America or American peoples.
In fact, I have many good memories with American peoples when I was working at American military base in Japan.
I have met many good American peoples! smiley

I know some peoples are wondering or can't understand Japanese who don't hate America or American peoples like me.

Most of times when I read, watch and talk about war, I'm very emotional.
I know emotion is nothing to war.
Emotion is nothing for discussion about history.

I love my country. I respect my country.
I love my peoples. I respect my peoples.
But not only this reason making me emotionally.
Maybe because I have met many elderly peoples who had war experience and I have heard their experience from them.
I have seen some of their tears.
Not watching TV, videos, movies or Not reading books or internet.
I have seen it in real. I have heard it in real.
That elderly peoples tear and talk is really heavy and hurt me till now.
I can't forget about it.

Some peoples are saying Japan is this and that, Japanese are this and that.
Some peoples are even joking and insulting about Japan and war.
And some peoples are talking about fake story.
Sometimes I'm feeling like they don't know anything.

I talked with you on here is still only few times.
But you never judged me or my country or my peoples.
You never blaming or insulting my country and my peoples including me.
But sharing and exchanging opinion!
I really really appreciate you!
Thank you so much!!
@Peacefull,

I appreciate you too for your very insightful comments here. smiley We have learned from you firsthand about the Japanese experience in the post-war era of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I understand your English very well here and you will improve further in spoken and written English with the information I have for you in the last paragraph of my post here.


Yes, that video was after Hiroshima but, before the Nagasaki atomic bombing. If you play the video, and get to exactly 40 seconds of viewing, you will hear a man's voice speaking with an American-English accent. That is the U.S. President Harry Truman speaking and telling all Japanese civilians to leave all industrial cities immediately to avoid being killed.


The industrial and manufacturing cities that produced vast Japanese World War 2 equipment from Mitsubishi and other great Japanese manufacturers were the real targets. But atomic bombs leave very toxic radioactive damages on people and the environment for many years!


The wartime experiences of the elderly Japanese folks you spoke to as a younger Japanese woman is very intense and profound.


As for those saying negative stuff about the Japanese that you spoke about, they are still learning because there are always multiple perspectives in every global or localised event. They'll understand with time.


So @Peacefull, are you a practicing Shintoist, Buddhist or Humanist like most Japanese? Could your faiths and beliefs in cause-and-effect or karmic ties be partly responsible for why the Japanese have strong work ethics and are even able to forgive America and move on from the negative wartime encounters?


Last but not least, you can always go to Google Translate online to translate Japanese language to English and English to Japanese! smiley


NOTE:
I also know full well that 3 to 6 months "Language Immersion" programs exist worldwide [including in major Japanese cities] that enable folks to learn English, French, Yoruba, Japanese, Chinese, etc, in a controlled environment [which simulates the day-to-day country environment of the language you want to learn]. It's quicker for you to learn English or any other foreign language that way.



Have a great and fun-filled year ahead in Japan!smiley wink


Cheers.

sukkot:
its a good question so we only know in part and prophesy in part so dont expect me to be perfect in my prophesying but we know the cosmic stories but the script to be used is what we always try to figure out because for every story there can be like 3 scripts that can be used and so lets get to your question so there are 4 spiritual families on this planet . two of those are given to rule the planet turn by turn and there is always a power tussle between these two then another one is the one that comes in and takes over when you fall and the last one is the one that changes your fortunes when you fall by sucking out the resources from your land and converting you to 3rd world status . now in nigeria we have 3 of these spiritual families present and they are represented in tribes ( i am only going to go as deep as i am allowed to because most of these things are cosmic secrets ) . there is a reason why yoruba and igbo are always fighting each other this is a war of the gods in the spiritual realm. orunmila vs sango. and so what we have here is that one spiritual family has been ruling the planet for over 2000 plus years ( obviously this is not race based and not every black person you see is the same. one of that spiritual family in nigeria while brown skinned in nigeria but yet that is not their default color base, being brown -- they are the minority in that spiritual family line ) and so my point is there is a spiritual family line based in nigeria who has been ruling the planet for over 2000 plus years but obviously in their default color and not brown, and that rulership has been ordained to come to an end and the other family has been ordained to take the throne and believe it or not NIGERIA is the epicenter of this spiritual power shift on the planet. and this is why you see peter oobi always in black and he took that 3 day trip to egypt the land of bondage. all these are messages . and so what is happening with peter obi is he last hurrah before the fall into oblivion and so this is how i believe the script would play out. The fulani man who has the interim power has to capitulate and give up the power to the new ascended king while he takes a backseat. and so what is happening here is that the winner would be a yoruba man with a fulani man as deputy. the deposed family represented by peter obi would go out with a bang meaning before the whole obi train dissipates there would be intense chaos because that spiritual family is a warring family and they are not going to go into the dark without a fight. but in going into the dark with a fight, it is the ishmael family that would bring the fight to them and take them into the night the ishmael family is the fulani and hausa . in conclusion, there is going to be great chaos and anarrchy and fight between the fulani and igbo eventually while the winner of the election would be a yoruba with a fulani deputy. now keep in mind that the universe is fair and balanced and there is a family in nigeria who thinks they are not getting a fair shake but they dont understand that their salvation is not in nigeria. whenever they are reincarnated into nigeria ? that is their fallen state and they have had centuries and millenias of rulerhip and control in other countries and continents under a different skin color, so ultimately there are no victims in any of this JUST CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. THIS IS A COSMIC GAME. THE WORLD IS A STAGE AND WE ARE ALL ACTORS PLAYING OUT A COSMIC SCRIPT THAT IS LAID OUT AND THE ROLES WE PLAY IS BASED ON KARMA-LOAD OF PAST LIFE. cheesy wink

OH AND LET ME ADD THAT NIGERIA WOULD SOON BE THE SPIRITUAL EPICENTER OF THE WHOLE WORLD. ITS COMING
Aha! "Group karma!"


So the ethnic interplay in Nigeria is not accidental, and we are indeed actors and spectators in the grand scheme of things.


Thanks for the feedback @Sukkot.smiley

I read your insightful post 3 times to be able to digest the specifics.

You talked about a "Fulani deputy" to a Yoruba winner (did you mean a
"Kanuri deputy" instead?)... Or where you speaking metaphorically?


Any negative cosmic turning points with the Festac '77 event hosted in 1977 in Lagos, Nigeria, i.e., referencing the 77" you talked about on this page.

Some extremist religious Xtian folks say Festac '77 was the start of all
Nigeria's crises till date... and I'm like: "Are you kiddin' me?" grin

its just understanding that when you come down here 150 years from now, no human standing now will be alive then, meaning all the things you thought were important were really not that important . everything went don into the dust with you your worries, your stress, your aspirations, things you thought were very important and you worried about and damn near killed for are all in the dust with you so what was the point in taking life so serious ? there was absolutely no point to it all you had to do is enrich and save your soul because that is the only currency coming with you into the next life is spiritual currency accrued. your deeds. did you build enough good karma . when you understand all these things its hard to take yourself or anybody very serious lol thats the trick .having that comprehensive spiritual wisdom calms and grounds you . and when you have this comprehensive spiritual wisdom you have no choice but to deal in accuracy. you cant be bearing false witness against people ( well i try to be perfect but i fall short sometimes lol ) . its an electric world and all the information is based in electromagnetic frequencies and our soul is electromagnetic frequency and so understanding all this is very good to let you see the bigger picture and not to dwell in primitive carnality . thats all i can say bro, not like i am better than anyone but i am more spiritually aware grin grin

yeah well you know i tend to view things spiritually and i believe the dropping of those two bombs was the start to the countdown of the biblical jeremiah chapter 50 an 51 events when all powerful nations would retaliate and drop bombs on the bomber aka usa. that number 77 signifies ' completion and destruction ' for example the london bombings was on july 7 which is 77. also during 9 11 attacks on usa the flight that struck the pentagon was flight 77

i say everything above to say that the 77th anniversary of that bombing means its time to pay the piper and drop a few bombs on him which is why the american elites are all in a rush to buy underground bunkers, coincidentally there was a topic on nairaland yesterday which showed all the bunkers the elites were buying and the topic was called WW3 underground bunkers the elites plan to hide in.

I am afraid you muddle them up when you try to pretend they intertwined somehow. There is no evidence to show NDES are nothing but delusions of the human mind, much similar to dreaming. undecided

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-near-death-experiences-reveal-about-the-brain/

I think it is best to approach these things individually. Reincarnation, a sole recycling system, seems plausible given the vast number of souls disposed on every single day in the world. However, NDEs makes more sense to believe they are delusions born of ideas stored up during one's lifetime, a sort of attempt by the mind to rationalize events. undecided
Your probbings are absolutely perfect. I too used to ask a lot of questions about life and existence back in the day. I hate dogmatic teachings that do NOT give room to ask questions.

NDEs are NOT delusions @kobojunkie.

If you watched the 2 videos I posted above about the bestselling 1975 book : "Life After Life," [which I first read in the early 1980s] you will get to understand that thousands of folks around the world have seen their lifeless physical bodies while in the hospital wards, operating theatres and accident scenes. When they came back to life [after re-entering their physical bodies], they gave accurate accounts of what transpired in the operating theatres or accident sites.

They could even pass through walls and see people, but the doctors and family members could NOT see them. Soul moves at a higher vibration just like radio waves and magnetic fields, this is the reason why the physical eyes CANNOT see people who have left their bodies at death of the physical bodies. The real you as Soul is still alive and there is NO so-called lake of fire and brimstone anywhere!


The scientific website you quoted contains info which shows that scientists [with their still evolving knowledge in that field of study] are still finding out what billions of folks already know as a FACT in their current spiritual paths.


Hope this helps. wink

Harry Truman's voice can be heard from 40 seconds in the 4 minutes 51 seconds short video. You will also be able to listen to a rendition in Japanese language of Prime Minister Suzuki, Emperor Hirohito and Japanese military commanders discussing whether to surrender of not.

I believe more awareness in Japanese language paper leaflets should have been done to make Japanese citizens to leave the Japanese industrial cities that the U.S. wanted to bomb. But that is history now... We enjoy driving high-end Toyotas and use other Japanese products today because of the indomitable spirit of the Japanese.

I think you are overreaching there, particularly with that last statement there. There are no myths to be shattered by this idea that reincarnation is a possibility. If you truly knew even a tenth of the facts of the Christian belief, you would understand that reincarnation of doesn't change anything of the belief. In fact, it is my opinion that it instead strengthens some ideas in the belief. undecided

By the way, reincarnation exists separately from ideas such as Near-death experiences and the idea of Life after death. When you begin to muddle them all together, you begin to step into the territories that make no sense.
Nothing is being overreached or muddled up here Kobojunkie.

Near-death experiences are intertwined with reincarnation and simply means there is life after physical death. The Soul leaves the physical body and operates at a state of higher frequency or vibration than the physical body which is of a lower state of vibration. This sets the stage for the rebirth of Soul to gain more experience in another lifetime and this is in tune with the law of karma... "What you sow, you reap" until you have gained spiritual purity and understanding on how to show divine love.

It is just like the radio waves or magnetic fields which cannot be seen by the physical eyes because the radio waves are moving at a higher vibration than the physical eyes.

PoliticsRe: U.S. Clears Governor Tinubu Of Criminal Deals by AlphaTaikun:
alanto:
10 FEBRUARY 2003

Vanguard (Lagos)

By Kenneth Ehigiator

Lagos — THE United States of America (USA) has cleared Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State of involvement in any criminal activity in that country or its territory.

The US Consulate in Lagos in a February 4, 2003 letter to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Tafa Balogun said there was nothing in the records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indicating that Gov. Tinubu had, at any time in the past, been arrested or wanted for crime in the US. The letter signed by the Legal Attache in the Consulate, Michael H. Bonner reads:

"Our sincerest greetings to you and all of the law enforcement personnel in the Nigeria Police Force, whose continued assistance is very much appreciated. In relation to your letter, dated February 3, 2003, reference number SR. 3000/IGPSEC/ABJ/VOL. 24/287, regarding Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a records check of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) National Crime Information Centre (NCIC) was conducted.

"The results of the checks were negative for any criminal arrest records, wants, or warrants for Bola Ahmed Tinubu (DOB 29 March 1952). For information of your department, NCIC is a very centralised information centre that maintains the records of every criminal arrest and conviction within the United States and its territories."

Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of Alliance for Democracy (AD), Mr. Abiodun Ogunleye, had on January 30, 2003, written to the Inspector-General of Police, asking him to make enquiries at the US Embassy in connection with allegations of drug trafficking and money laundering levelled at the governor by a gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of the party, Sir Tunde Olowu, with a view to confirming if he (Tinubu) indeed had any criminal record.

The AD letter read: [b]"We are in the process of issuing clearance to the incumbent Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to allow him contest in the forthcoming state gubernatorial elections.

"Allegations of criminal activities in the United States of America have, however, been levelled at Governor Tinubu, namely: drug trafficking and money laundering. The screening committee of the state Alliance for Democracy must sieve through the heaps of petitions and allegations to ensure that the rule of law and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is upheld, free of fear or favour. Consequently, as the senior law enforcement officer of the state, we seek your kind assistance in enquiring from the Embassy of the United States of America in Lagos, a confirmation of any criminal records or criminal conviction to date by Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Due to the time constraints imposed by the impending elections, may we further crave your indulgence to deal with this matter expeditiously?"[/b]

The Principal Staff Officer of the IG, Solomon Arase Ag/ACP, wrote on behalf of his boss to AD leadership in Lagos State, saying: "I am directed to refer to your letter, dated January 30, 2003, on the subject matter - Re: Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu Criminal Record and apprise you with the inquiry conducted.

[b]"In the course of investigation, the Police had cause to resort to the Consul-General of the Embassy of the United States of America, to ascertain the authenticity or otherwise of an alleged criminal record against Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The results of the checks were negative for any criminal arrest records, wants, or warrants for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The report of the search is herewith attached. You may wish to be guided by the result of the record checks of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Crime Information Centre (NCIC).
Please accept the assurances of the Inspector General of Police consideration."

The petitioner, Sir Olowu, had in his petition to the IG alleged that Gov. Tinubu had seven foreign accounts to which he remitted money made from dealings in white heroin, adding that the governor had for this reason been investigated in the United States.

"In the early 1990s, Governor Bola Tinubu maintained some bank accounts in the United States of America into which his personal funds and proceeds of businesses carried on by him and on behalf of some associates and family members were kept. Much of the funds in these accounts - A/c No. 39483134 Citibank, A/c 39483396 Citibank, A/c No. 4650279566 Citibank, A/c No. 00400220 Citibank, A/c 39936383 Citibank, A/c No. 39936383 Citibank and A/c No. 263226700 First Heritage Bank, totalling $1.4 million were actually being used in money market operations, mainly securities trading. Sometime in 1993, Governor Tinubu, then a senator, gave instructions in respect of one of the accounts, but was told that a freezing order had been made against all his accounts in the banks.

"Further inquiry revealed that the freezing order was made in response to the question of an Internal Revenue Service agent, Kevin Moss, who had filed an affidavit in a magistrate court, stating that he had probable cause to believe that the funds were involved in financial transactions in violation of US laws and were liable to forfeiture to the US government.

"Kevin Moss' suspicion was based on investigations into suspected money laundering and narcotics trafficking of two Nigerians, Mueez Akande and Abiodun Agbele. Both men lived in the US and during this period (1990-93), Nigerians were under serious scrutiny in the US for drug trafficking offences and accounts of Nigerians with substantial sums of money in the US were being closely checked," Sir Olowu had alleged in his petition to the IG as well as in the last edition of the Tell Magazine.

Continuing, he alleged that the governor lost $460,000 to the US government being money spent by its agencies to conduct their investigation before trial and conviction, but Tinubu said he was never persecuted, neither was he convicted by any American court. The AD had in defence of the governor, explained that he was never convicted, stressing that the $460,000 did not amount to any fine on conviction. Anyone with even a minimum understanding of how American justice system works will easily agree that if there was evidence of culpability in drug trafficking against Tinubu, he would certainly have been prosecuted under US Law, especially since he went to the US several times and even spoke personally with the investigators on various occasions. In any event, he contested the interim seizure of the funds and recovered funds in all six accounts and even part of the particular account on which a seizure order was eventually made," it contended.

https://allafrica.com/stories/200302110527.html
This clear message coming from the American government is highly commendable.


The simpletons who keep on peddling these lies online and offline must be arrested and punished for defamation of character. I will consider Asiwaju Tinubu and his Media Team to be the biggest fools on earth if they don't punish these liars and tribal bigots. Period.

FamilyRe: Unusual Behavior Between My Step Brother And My Wife by AlphaTaikun: 2:24pm On Aug 12, 2022
grop1040:
Hi guys,

Something happened 9 months ago, I decided to keep mute or probably just wait for the right time to commence my investigation to actually know what is going on between my step brother and my wife.

So I'm 9 years already into my marriage, and we have 3 kids. My step brother who is the 2nd of my mum has temperamental problem.

He's bossy and very vulgar plus he's controlling, everybody knows him for that, he was married 13 years ago, however after his family relocated to the USA, he later found
out that his 3kids aren't his, the marriage ended like that, ever since then he's been traumatized, emotionally and any other way one can describe him as. Sometimes in order to at least feel that children presence around him, he would ask me to have my children come over to his place for some days, and I could witness how that really helped him over time, but then I noticed the absence of his wife started making him familiarize with my wife in certain odd manners which I was not really down with.

For example, if he comes to our house, most times comes around with a friend, either female or male, my wife seems not to be the attache type who would sit with us in the living room, she will rather be upstairs in the room, I have witnessed cases where he will shout at her, saying how can everybody be here and ur there upstairs?

There was even a time when one of the visitors he came with sighed and made face in a way that defined, wow, "was that necessary". Or times when he will ask her to cook stew for her, if she forgets or probably didnt want to do it because she knew it isnt her duty, she will be yelled upon, you'll here things like, where
is the egusi i told u to make, even the one you made last time, u didnt put enough this and that

Now yall might think am a dullard or a simp, or someone too relaxed as gentle and as patient as I am, I be original demon, if I start my madness, the result will end in eternal damage, and our family background from my mums side where this my brother was born, we tend to uphold unity over adversity, so when things like this occur, mum would rather have us calm and not fight so unity can continue.

So sometimes last year, the major issues started grooming that made me start to think if there was something going on with my step and my wife, it started with when the kids were with him, so madam and I were suppose to go for outing, so we decided to branch at his place to check up on the kids, on getting there while in his living room, he said to my wife "I like your hair" she responded thanks, he was like are u guys going out, I was like yea am taking her out, next thing she asked my madam, so when are we going on
our own outing
? I shrugged and didnt understand where that came from, though she didnt answer him.

While we were leaving, I was waiting for her to bring up the topic and put it to me that why did ur brother say such a thing, even if its a joke, its too expensive, but she didnt, I brought up the topic, and she was like shes surprised too that she never thought he would say such a thing.

5 days later, we had a family party in his house, my other brothers, cousins and my mum, my children were there, while the
caterer were cooking outside, and we were all in his living room drinking, he opted to get some meat to dish and give everybody to at least be chewing something, he served it round but when it got to my wives turn, the one he already bit off from was what he gave her, funny thing is, it was only my mum and myself that saw the scene, my wife was not aware, that was when I knew something could be going on.

Afterwards, I put the ish through to my wife, she acted disgusted and said she cant blv he would do such, that although my mum already called her to say the same thing. So I asked details of what she discussed with my mum, she said my mum advised her that whenever he calls her, she shouldnt pick, that when he knows its obvious that shes avoiding his call, he probably would want to report to her, and then she will now break the silence of what she my wife have been experiencing with him thus her refusal to pick his call.

So I called my mum and I was like being calm, patient and cooperating with the useless policy of the family doesnt mean that the recent things happening won't seat any longer with me, that am gonna have to confront him and put him in his place. My mum begged me and begged, cos she's 76 years old, I considered and I had no choice but to cooperate with her advise.

The funny thing is, after this whole ish, I asked her that if he calls, will you pick, she answered yes I will, but I will have to see what he has to say first to know if I will continue the conversation or not, I was like for real? You must be kidding me, it means something that I am not suppose to know of is happening, she was like oh well its ur fault, why didn't u confront him instead of listening to ur mums advise.

Since then, I have let it slide, but what actually made me bring up this issue again, was when I went to my bros house to pick some stuffs my sister sent from the USA, madam was off to the market, I called her to ask if she would like the only size 10 of the shoe I saw cos she wears 9, she didnt pick after calling like 4 times, immediately my brother called her with his own phone, she picked and was like sorry when you called I try to pick but it was nt connecting, I just weak at that moment sey wetin dey sup.

Guys, ladies, from deep experiences u guys must have gone through, what do u think could be wrong and what do yall think I should do, something could be happening that if I dont unravel early, it might be the cause of ones demise or destruction.
@grop1040,

Install miniature CCTV cameras in your house or use devices to listen in on your woman's convos just to be sure that nothing is going on between your sibling and your woman. Once you are sure nothing is going on, then let go of any thoughts of her having a potential affair and upgrade your inner game and convo style with your woman.

Try to be more engaging as a communicator, while being an ACTIVE LISTENER, and be a bit mysterious as a lonewolf to spice up your 9-year-old marriage. She'll naturally notice changes in you and find you irresistible. The book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie is one of the best books you can read for building romantic and business relationships.

Those are some of the things women are attracted to... [including some elements of financial comfort which you have aptly been providing]. It's the natural way women are wired.

Hindus and Buddhist believe in reincarnation, the population of hindus and Buddhist put together surpasses so many other religion put together. For these people to strongly believe in reincarnation it goes to show that they must have seen or experienced it.
Absolutely @mysticwarrior,

Many well-recorded near-death experiences [NDEs] by many folks in the Western societies and around the world who saw their physical bodies lying lifeless in hospital wards, operating rooms or accident scenes and then woke again are further proof that there's life beyond the physical body. The clergy of the Xtian religions that some of these folks belonged to had NO answers for the experiences and critical questions these folks asked... some left their former faiths because they wanted anwers instead of dogmatic teachings.

I first read a 1975 bestselling book which my father originally owned on "Near-Death Experiences" back in the early 1980s entitled "Life After Life" by Raymond A. Moody, Jr., M.D., who is a reknowned psychiatrist .

As the Internet becomes more prominent in our lives, many myths of orthodox Judeo-Xtian origins will be shattered.

Foreign AffairsRe: Japan: Hirosima Marks 77th Anniversary Of The First Atomic Bomb Attack by AlphaTaikun(op):
mysticwarrior:
You have spoken very well and I admire you for having deep understanding of what transpired before, during and after the bombings. But there were certain things that should have been taken into broad consideration before actions were taken.

1. Not all Japanese have access to radio or television broadcast as at then to receive the message of the warnings.

2. Truman did not used a Japanese interpreter while sounding the warnings, don't forget Japanese don't speak English.

3. Why didn't the Americans dropped the atomic bomb in a non habitant Japanese land to make their warnings clear? That way no life would have been lost and the Japanese would have been aware of the destructive capabilities of what was coming.

However it should be noted that the Americans also claimed to have dropped warning leaflets on Japanese cities, but these leaflets did not directly reference the atomic bomb, and it is unclear whether they were used to warn citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki specifically.

The second round features a picture of a mushroom cloud and a message about the Soviet invasion (which commenced on August 9). The historical record is unclear, but it seems as though these leaflets did not make it to Nagasaki until after it, too, had been hit by the atomic bomb.

Lastly if Germans, Italians, Croats and Japanese could be made to face trial for war crimes after the war, why were American Generals not made to stand trial especially when the mass killing of civilians were involved?
@mysticwarrior,

Thanks for adding more references to this historic topic.

My deep take on this is that the Japanese military command and the U.S.-led Allied commands are NOT blameless in the midst of the mass pain, global economic inflation, and hysteria that had hit the world in WW2.

However history is always written by the war victors, hence the tendency to minimise alledged crimes by the victors and punish the defeated.

The Soviet communist leadership and their Red Army had occupied East Germany, mass raped Berlin women and concocted a lot of lies against the Germans which today have been clearly refuted after DNA tests and other analyses had been done. The widely circulated fake story of a Nazi Germany-made human skin lampshade made from the skin of Jews is one of several propaganda by the Soviets to demonize Germans.

Even the Jews have discarded that fake story after advanced modern DNA tests proved that the lampshade was made of animal skin and not that of humans. Innocent German people were sentenced to death for that Soviet lie!

The Western Allies (who had occupied West Germany) did NOT tell the kind of massive lies that the Soviets told in East Germany which they had occupied.


Last but not least, I had a WW1 and WW2 military book (that detailed out Japanese military and civil technologies pre-1900 and post-1900) and I was blown away by the pictures of European-style radios, gramophones, cars, war planes, aircraft carriers, guns, and much more made by the Japs.

The Japanese had expelled the Portuguese Catholic missionaries and others who were already instigating ordinary Japanese Catholics in the 1600s to rebel against Japanese ways of life. This is how Japan escaped European invasion and colonisation unlike her neighbors. Japan then sent her citizens for further studies in Europe and America in the 1800s to copy technologies and improve on them.


The point is that many Japanese had access to Japanese made cars, radio sets, etc, because the standard of living was a bit high as of the 1930s to 1940s.

Like you stated, more should have been done to drop graphic leaflets telling Japanese folks in their native language to leave the industrial cities because of the impending atomic bombings.


All the best.

Christianity EtcRe: Yoruba Version Of Life After Death. It Is Logical And Scientific by AlphaTaikun: 4:43pm On Aug 11, 2022
vaxx:
The Yoruba afterlife consists of Reincarnation. However, what distinguishes the
Yoruba reincarnation concepts from Indian versions is that yoruba version explain that you reincarnate from your ancestors and into your descendants. The Indian version is a lie crafted by Aryans to deceive the Black Indians into believing that they can reincarnate into other castes so there's no reason to fight against the higher castes but just hope to reincarnate into it in the next life. This is all lies and propaganda.

The truth is that you can only reincarnate thru your clan or extended-family descendants. It doesn't have to be your direct great grandchild (it can be, for example, the great-grandchild of your second-cousin for example). It just has to have enough of your DNA code for you to transfer your spirit into it. In theory, you can transfer to anyone who shares your ethnic group DNA code. However, most genetic DNA theories are racist manipulation of science. DNA is not just a physical code but like a keyhole that allows you to open doors in the next reincarnation.

If you do not have the proper key (DNA), you cannot open the keyhole of someone who doesn't share your DNA sequence. This is why many Yoruba names point to the reincarnation of people, but always thru the extended-family. Nameslike Babatunde (father has returned) reflect the Yoruba notion that reincarnation is a family affair.

This is why ancestral veneration is important in Yoruba. You are not just talking to dead people; you are remembering and learning from your past.

If you do not learn from your past (in this life and in formerones), you will repeat mistakes. That is the purpose of ancestral veneration (egungun) in IFA: Yoruba Scientific Spirituality.Also, Yoruba reincarnation does not believe that once you reach "nirvana" you will stop reincarnating.

So don't believe you will escape that way either. The Odu Ifa tells us that we will all reincarnate until every single human has reached. enlightenment. We are a communal species.

When you don't understand this truth about reincarnation, you will not take efforts to improve the conditions of your clan or ethnic group because you think you will escape it in death's heaven or join another ethnic group in reincarnation. Then when you return to Earth in the same oppressed ethnic group, you complain even though in your former life you did not fight to liberate your ethnic group.

You must understand this cycle. Though the Europeans and Beige race pretends to be Christian, they understand true Reincarnation very well. This is why their clans establish strong dynasties and they accumulate wealth not just for them, but for the next three generations after them. They know they are coming back and they want to be wealthy while they sell you the lie that you can die and go to heaven to escape this cycle.I.e., Black folks. You will not escape your oppression in death's heaven nor in Indian reincarnation.

You are going to continue coming to Earth as a Black person and you are going to continue to struggle as Black until you begin to plan for the progress of Blacks three generations into the future (that you have enough prosperity that you can take care of your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren).
A true devotee of the egungun plans for the next 16 generations of prosperity.

The folks who randomly come up online or offline to antagonise this fact by talking of demonic whatever are still operating on the kindergaten level based on their levels of awareness in their orthodox religions especially the religions that are collectively called Xtianity. It is the subconcious fear of change and social influence or herd mentality that makes them to randomly attack and live in denial.
