BusinessRe: Trademark Registration in Nigeria by Aproko(f): 6:27pm On Jul 13, 2007
@ seun,

registering a trademark in nigeria is quite a rigorous process. first of all, you fill the trademark forms, you design a bromide and then send it to the registrar of trademarks at abuja; after which you will receive an acknowledgment. people usually stop at this stage, but really after this stage, you start the process of obtaining the certificate.

if you are really interested cos it may cost you more than what you were hoping to pay, just signify your interest on this thread.

i hope i have been able to help.and i'm a lawyer, so you dont think its a scam.
PoliticsRe: Is The Average Nigerian Fraudulent? by Aproko(f): 5:30pm On Jul 12, 2007
how can the average nigerian be fraudulent? are we talking about these same happiest people on earth?

you stay abroad and watch CNN and you have no clue about how the average nigerian struggles to make ends meet, and then just because one yahoo boy is your friend, it means the average nigerian boy that age is a fraudster.

so judas was jesus's desciple, does it mean that the average disciple of jesus is a betrayer?

i think people should know the meaning of words before yarning dust. angry angry

@oje
(a) should i relax with her?
i guess u mean if u should continue being angry with her. anger solves nothing it just blinds our ability to think rationally. at this moment u need to weigh the consequences of your accepting her, if 3hrs was all she needed to throw away the relationship then such action raises a lot of question about her love for u.

(b) should i be serious (discipline) with her
if u must discipline her is it out of love or revenge?check your motives.

(c) should i be afraid of her?
by this i guess u mean doubting her love for u, if i were in your shoes i will seriously doubt her love for me. yes be afraid and thread cautiously.

(d) should i run from her?
run to where?stay and resolve the issue.

(e) or should i get a "spare" just in case?
as if that will make things better. u will only be telling the spare that she is a substitute, no human male or female deserves such treatment.

RomanceRe: He Never Calls Me by Aproko(f): 3:56pm On Jul 12, 2007
@ stephanay,

hi dearie, i feel you. the truth is that not all guys are thesame. just look at the guy you are with, what kind of person is he? is he the type that would notice when you dont call him?

if you try the reverse psychology thing with him and he still doesnt call, no apologies too, then my dear you may have to start looking elsewhere.

sometimes you love someone so dearly and you are just hoping that person is the one!!and you may not see that the person is so not the one!! 'the one' i believe wont give you reason to feel this way, he wont give you reason to wonder whats going on with him!! so when you start to wonder why he never calls you, perhaps you should start wondering if indeed he makes you happy, and if he really and truly doesn't, then you know what to do.

all the best

@Aproko,

Maybe I should start from down up in my response:

Perhaps the interpretation may be the one thing that is the problem. But then, how do I delve into something that might not be effectively communicated to others?
my dear, let me give you an example, i am very good at literature, but there are some works of shakespeare i have to read on and on to understand. it doesnt mean shakespeare has not been able to communicate effectively, perhaps i'm the one that needs to work extra hard to make sure i get the gist and not loose the message.

so it is with the Grail Message, while the message is very clearly put, perhaps a lot of crossbearers have to read it on and on to get the message. sometimes you need a little help from those that understand better than you so that you get the gist easier. its like that everywhere.

as good as you may be in biology i'm sure you dont get all the gist in the text book, it is only with time, lecturing and maybe private lessons that you end up knowing enough to even formulate and develop your own biological theories. so instead of blaming the biology text book for being too difficult to understand, just be patient and read it time and time, and biology would become piece of cake right?

pilgrim.1:
That said, I think it would be quite unbalanced to feel that the spirit communicates to man via the cerebellum.

/quote]

why is that? every thought, word, deed must be processed in your brain right? so why should spiritual stuff be different? is it because of the word spiritual? you must receive the spiritual message one way or the other right, whether its your intuition or inner voice, so why cant the cerebellum be useful in communicating those messages to you? its not unbalanced at all, really.

pilgrim.1 link=topic=58742.msg1280965#msg1280965 date=1184161873:
The one reason why that could just not be a healthy inference (besides the fact that the cerebellum has its distinct function) is that it makes one think that intelligent people are earthly (judging from the size of one's frontal lobe); and therefore intelligent people care very little for spiritual things.
but really a lot of intelligent people try to rationalise everything, what the baby would look even before birth, why cant there be a perfect baby? why cant we remove every gene that would make this unborn child gay, what the heck,why cant we just create our own baby? --- the list is endless, this leaves very little time for spiritual things i suppose!!

pilgrim.1:
Which leads me to ask: does the backbrain grow in size when a person becomes highly spiritual?

RomanceRe: The Perfect Guy by Aproko(f): 2:06pm On Jul 11, 2007
PTBNaija:
When a guy is perfect for you, it doesn't mean that he's faultless. It is highly unlikely to find any perfect human being, someone can be considered perfect in one person's eyes, and yet in another's could be far from it. As the saying goes "one man's trash is another man's treasure," or even "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." What is considered perfect varies from person to person. So how can a guy that is best suited for you not be perfect? If your characteristics, personalities,, etc. match and you are really in love, then do you not compare other men to that guy? Wouldn't the fact that he is best suited to you (and thus perfect for you) make him perfect in your eyes? The guy doesn't have to be perfect to every woman in the world in order to be perfect. For example, take someone such as Obasanjo (no offense meant to be taken here). He's not exactly the type of guy that I would see myself wanting to be in a relationship with. And for me, he could be far from perfect. But to his wife Stella (God rest her soul), he was perfect to her. You're perfect man doesn't have to be faultless. You just have to be able to deal with his faults without going crazy wink lol
my dear, the topic says describe the "perfect" guy. that is impossible because no one is perfect. the fact that a person best suits you doesn't make him perfect. that he best complements you does not take away his imperfection. no matter how 'perfect' you think he is for you, there are days when he would annoy you, there are times you guys would have fights and quarrels and you'd be wandering where the love even came from in the first place.

no human being is perfect, even jesus christ (if you believe he existed) whom is supposed to be the epitome of perfection had his off days. he displayed anger, he handpicked a disciple that ended up betraying him, so what are we saying?

simple, no perfect guy anywhere, not in this world, not in the world to come.
RomanceRe: Difference Between A Soul Mate And A Life Partner? by Aproko(f): 12:31pm On Jul 11, 2007
i've always been of the opinion that a soul mate is someone you connect with on a deeper leve, and that connection is usually unbreakable. a life partner is someone you have chosen to be with for the rest of your life on earth while forsaking all others.

while it is always better for your soul mate to be your life partner, it isn't always the case.
Christianity EtcRe: What Seek Ye?(the Grail Message-vol 1) by Aproko(f): 12:18pm On Jul 11, 2007
@ pilgrim.1,

thanks for that biology lesson, i want to use it to butress my point.

the frontal lobe is aids reasoning, planning, parts of speech, e.t. c, the parietal, occipital and temporal lobes actually perform functions that i may term earthly or physical.

so what about the cerebellum? what is the function? of course earthly or physical functions you may say.

the answer is yes and then again no. of course the cerrebelum has its own earthly functions, but really, it has a link with our spirit in the sense that our spirit communicates to us via the cerebellum.

its not like when we die, the cerebellum follows us to heaven, perhaps an example is like having a mobile phone, when you move to an area without network, you either do without a phone or get a compliant sim. so when our flesh dies, the cerebellum 'cannot receive network' so we get another sim.

now if you look at that diagram, you would notice that the front lobe is actually bigger in size than the cerebellum. perhaps it has not always been so. but it has become so because more attention is focused on the frontal brain i.e reasoning, planning our lives, all the emotions we deal with, e.t.c, and somehow we have forgotten to develop the back brain as well by listening more to our inner voice, visions, warnings e.t.c.

so the Grail Message is not contradictory at all, its probably our interpretations that are contradictory that is why your best bet is to read the book yourself.

i hope that helps smiley smiley

@ pilgrim.1,  @ ricadelide,

most of the cross bearers on this forum are not scientist, so you would have to pardon their explanation if it has been poorly structured.

am no scientist myself, but all they are trying to say is that 'spiritual things' are usually communicated through the hind brain. the frontal brain helps us find words for the pictures we see with our minds eye. the point is to make sure you dont rack your brain too much and end up painting the picture another colour. an earthly example - you see a red rose, but at that point, all you are aware of is that plants are green. if a rose is a plant, then why should it be red and not green?, you then go ahead to paint a picture of the rose you saw with your mind's eye, only you paint it green, you sell that masterpiece at an exhibition, and then you travel to a place you've never been and see a red rose, just the way you saw it in your mind's eye!!!

the point is simple, the things of the spirit cannot be rationalised cos when they are, they only lead to more errors and distortions.

i wonder if i make any sense here.
BusinessRe: Dangote: I'm Worth Much More Than Oprah Winfrey! by Aproko(f): 11:28am On Jul 10, 2007
really i don't understand the beefs for aliko dangote. this man has been making money since the 70's, isn't it expected that perhaps he may be richer than oprah?

what has he done with his money? what else do you want him to do? he listed dangote sugar at N18, people sold at N56 after collecting dividend, is it not more than other rich ones have done? should he share the money from door to door before we see that he is helping society? that is just one example.

this man is an industrialist with a vision, and that vision includes spreading wealth amongst nigerians, if we were smart, we would ride on dangote's wings and become billoniars of our own instead of spending quality time player hating!!

if hes richer than oprah, then congratulations to him.
RomanceRe: The Perfect Guy by Aproko(f): 6:41pm On Jul 09, 2007
@ topic,

I still maintain that no human being is perfect. when you assume he is perfect for you, do you mean he is blameless, not one fault?

that a guy is best suited for you does not make him perfect.

Christianity EtcRe: What Seek Ye?(the Grail Message-vol 1) by Aproko(f): 5:32pm On Jul 09, 2007
@ pilgrim.1,

i have read through the post and what the crossbearers are trying to say is that the back brain or hind brain is linked to our spirit and that is the part that receives 'spiritual information'. for instance, when your mind tells you to do something or your conscience speaks to you, you actually get the information first in your back brain. this is then transmitted to your frontal brain so that the information which your mind or conscience has received can be processed for your earthly understanding. this usually doesn't take time so if you are not alert, you may not even know the difference.

so when this information is received, what do you do with it? you analyse it right? for instance if your mind tells you not to go out, do you just sit at home or somehow you try to find reasons why you should go out? by the time you start to rationalise ideas that should be your mind speaking to you, you start to use your frontal brain or intellect.

too much rationalising is what is being referred to as the over cultivation of your intellect which is not good for you.

now dont get me wrong; nobody is saying you should not brainstorm, but when you get a warning, that small voice you hardly even heard, do not analyse it and then loose the message cos if you do, you'd only find yourself telling your pals that 'my mind told me to take an umbrella, but you know i just didnt think it could rain, afterall, rainy season has not started', while you are dripping wet.

hope you get the gist? smiley smiley

RomanceRe: Cohabitation: Will You Do It? by Aproko(f): 5:31pm On Jul 04, 2007
@ luxoire,

my point is that when cohabitation goes sour, the woman is always at the receiving end. so why bother? most of the time if the man gets o sit at home doing the cleaning, then you can be rest assured the woman is paying the rent.

my point is that the woman has more to loose if things go sour, whether the man helps around the house or not.

and my dear, marriages do break up, talk less of relationships. so if you think after 2 yrs you are sure you guys would get married and then you dont (whichever party calls it off), you are back to square one. and then another and another, until you find the one you truly want to be with.

besides, cohabitation can reduce your toasters you know. so why go through the hassle? just stay in your place and i'll stay at mine.
RomanceRe: Cohabitation: Will You Do It? by Aproko(f): 6:02pm On Jul 03, 2007
@ luxoire,

what happens when the relationship ends? how many would you really cohabit with in a life time considering how unpredictable human beings are?

a man that loves you and wants to marry you would do just that, whether you live with him or not. so why give any man the pleasure of enjoying your wifey abilities for free? and sometimes at your own expense?

to me, cohabitation is still a HELL NO!
