Foreign AffairsRe: Several US Marines Killed In Kabul Airport Blast, US Official Says by Aston02(m): 10:16pm On Aug 26, 2021
Lovenorth:
You can easily convince your children that Christianity is a peaceful religion with the below
https://www.nairaland.com/6691128/unbiblical-pray-jesus-reno-omokri
People in Nigeria, particularly Southern Christians, they like to call Boko Haram, say Boko Haram are terrorists... Look, what Boko Haram is doing in Northern Nigeria, the Catholic church and the Anglican church did it all around the world.

In Latin America, they were forcefully Catholicised - by force, or Conquistadors kill you!

Latin Americans, they went to other people's land, they forcefully... They did not call it terrorism. They are calling Boko Haram terrorists because they're in control of the world, the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant... What they did was worse than what Boko Haram is doing. Go to Algeria, look at what the Anglican church did to the aboriginal... The natives...

In Canada, the one in Canada, they killed natives...

There was this controversy between Constantine and Arius of the Eastern church... They call it "the Arian heresy".. Now what happened then was that in Rome (later spread to the Roman world all over Europe) if you did not believe according to the dogma that came out of the Council of Nicaea, they were killing you. So they were killing all these people.

And then when they want to kill you, they're not just going to kill you. They will kill you say: "we are killing you in the name of God".

So there used to be a lot of people in present day Turkey who actually believed in the same doctrines that Christ taught and they did not deviate from it. They did not change... They did not accept trinity and all of that. But they were killed one by one, one by one.

But there are still about 20,000 of them in Turkey. 20,000 of them. They were killed. These were people who used to be all over the country. They were killed until now there's only 20,000 of them. If you go on YouTube, you'll see where I preached to them.

So these are people they hold true to the original faith of Christ; that Christ taught when he was on Earth. They don't believe in all these trinity, and praying to Yeshua (Jesus) and all of that.

But here's the thing, at that time, they had something called "the Holy Inquisition" and you can just research it... Don't take my word for it... Go and research it... Where for instance, they'll catch you and say:

"do you believe in the trinity?"

If you say NO, you'll be tied, they'll put a fire. You'll be burnt in that fire. Or they might put you on a stake. So that was how they wiped out away the pure Orthodox Christianity from Europe. They were killing people, they were doing a lot of things. It was a horrible thing.

So when I see people now come to say "Boko Haram are... What Boko Haram are doing, these people they did 10 times worse.
This is a very dumb argument! How can you compare the killings of the 15,16th century to a 21st? I mean, when was the last time you saw Christians or Anglo-Saxons Protestant killing in the name of their God?

Democracy, human rights, women rights, liberalism has been embraced by the Church, why can't Islam toll that path?

Islam has been doing the same thing since time immemorial, and there's no chance that the world would see a change in their belief system now or forever.

Something is fundamentally wrong with their religious beliefs and I think every right thinking Muslim knows it. However, lowkey, they enjoy what their brothers are doing. That's the sad reality. Ask yourself, how many Muslims here on Nairaland have said something along this line..." I'm a Muslim, but what this guys are doing is totally wrong and not Islam-like..."

Hello Ashton..... U said the death started you gave gumboro vac, was there any spillage wen giving them the vac, if yes then u have an outbreak of gumboro in ur hands. Next give them iodine
Hello, no, it didn't start with the Gumboro vaccine. It started two days earlier, and I gave them the vaccine on Saturday (the sixth day). I thought it's probably gon stop after the vaccine but it didn't. Reason I created the thread.

Thankfully, the mortality rate is reduced drastically and I pray it stop completely (since I introduced the drugs I stated in one of the comments).

Have also been getting different advice from people regarding what to use, but I guess I'll just stick with the current procedure as see how it plays out. I don't want to complicate the issue.

Anyways, lesson learnt, and the next batch is obviously going to be better than this. All hope is not lost on this too, I already planned for loss.

I'll make a thread on it when the time comes

I hope it's not as a result of heat?
I'm not sure. I also think they needed heat since they're day-old chicks(or what do you think?). But I've reduced the heat since I read about respiratory diseases for birds online.

I'll completely stop heating their house when they're 2 weeks old. Thanks

Good day everyone.

Please, I need help on how to curtail the rate of death of my broiler birds. I bought the day old chicks last week Monday, and I noticed an increase i n mortality rate exactly Friday night. Between Friday and today, I've lost 40 birds, and I'm not sure how or when its going to stop.

I've been following due process all along and giving them vitamins and antibiotics as required.

I gave them Gomboro on Sunday(the seventh day), as stated by the vet, and I'm not sure it has curtail the spread either.

Please, farmers in the house, what can I do?

No, they are not medical practitioners. Plus they never said it was pastors that did the operation, doctors did.

How you even have to drag pastors into a God or not God discussion still baffles me tho.

For clarity sake, It's a two different calling and God can decide to work through any of those hands.

Thank you very much sir, may God continue to bless you, the tools I have is phone, laptop that's like desktop, and full commuted mind, I don't have a mentor now can't afford to hire one now, I look up to youtube, graphic design and web development, are they related anyway I will love to pick one and be very good at it
Graphic design is diff from web development, but it does complement each other. It's like a genre in the IT field and I don't really know much about graphic designers other than the one who do UI/UX(user interface/user design and mockups) for web developers. The other graphic designers you're talking about if I'm right are the ones who build business designs and logo, which I don't really know much about. I'm talking from the web development point of view here.

Btw, you can manage what you have till you can afford better ones. Just keep junks and unnecessary files off your PC to avoid slagging and read content online, subscribe for newsletter and follow devs as well. Twitter is a good place to get em and you can even ask questions and there are people willing to answer you. Plus there a lot of opportunities on Twitter, like bootcamps and programs that you can easily do. I know some companies that gift laptops to devs from Nigeria as well. Just harness the SM platforms, you'll surely find your way.

I know of some devs that are giving aspiring devs money for monthly subscription and all.

Just keep on pushing and before you know it, you'll surely get your bearing and forge your path. What I tell people is don't stop, don't be stagnant just keep moving. Even if the results are not yet out, just keep pushing you'll surely find your path.

Sincerely seeking for an IT skill to engage in, still a beginner

Read about Java script are they also related
I can only speak for what I know...

If you're seeking for an IT skill to learn, programming is a good path. However, it entails a lot of commitment and hardwork. Nothing good comes easy so the question is are you ready to dedicate one year of your life to learning?

People make mistake thinking it's so easy and that the money comes immediately you start. But if you want to earn well, you have to work and that means you will have to commit a year to learning the skills necessary.

The reality is that it's not easy if you don't have anything to motivate you. You'd probably need a side hustle to keep body n soul together while you learn for the long-term. You'll need constant light plus reliable internet connection to get most of your time. You know how costly data can be and burning of fuel if there's no light. But if you're resilient, you'll surely laugh last.

It's not going to be easy, there are times you will feel like quitting, quit, give up, be frustrated, mad at yourself etc. All these are part of the process, but if you faint not, you will reap your reward.

Like I said answering a similar question here, understand whether you're going to self-learn or use a structured program (there are a bunch of it online).

The basics for web programming is that you learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript. There are other programming languages but JavaScript is versatile and probably the most used (just like English) it's hard but that does not mean it's not learnable.

There's also the design world in the IT field and I know people that are earning cool cash as designers. I mean UI/UX designers.

The list is endless. Just know your strength and find/research the field you are comfortable with or you will be comfortable learning and then start. Personally, I suck at designs and colors etc so I try as much as possible to avoid some parts of front-end dev.

Lastly, don't learn like an average Nigerian. Don't settle for mediocre and try to cut corners. Hardwork pays. Whatever it is that you wanna learn, start from the basics cos that's the foundation. Learn to be able to compete on an international standard and be the best so you can compete for jobs with Americans and Europeans. The reality is that if you're good, clients will hire you without stereotype (maybe in some cases, which is normal. Most times, they hire based on competence)

For me, it was just about the long-term goal and having a job security in this world of uncertainty, which makes Tech bar. I've been a writer and earn being a writer but the money wasn't forthcoming as before and there are a lot of uncertainties working as a writer that's why I did the career shift. It wasn't easy but it's worth it in the end.
The best thing is to earn in $ and work for clients outside this country. I don't like the Nigerian work environment and employers as well. They're like modern slaves, they won't pay well plus they think they're helping you.

I wish you luck in your journey bro...

70 hours? Damn!

Bro I wanna learn programming, Any tips for me?
You don't really to spend up to 70hrs, but there are some days you might.

Are you looking for self learning or a structured program?

If you want to self-learn, it's good but the question is how committed are you? It's easier to loose motivation when the going gets tough, when you're faced with hard projects, which will happen most time.

There are also structured programs online you can enrol for. Some, you have to psy before you use their resources et al, while there are some companies that run it like a school and you pay the tuition, which is like $16k on the average. However, the plus side is a whole lot of them allow you to pay $0 upfront and you'll then pay after you've completed your program. Some even help you to find jobs. But getting in is the problem cos you'll need basic level/ JavaScript and probably do live interviews/evaluation assessment before you're properly enrolled.

There are other factors like good internet and light that plays a critical role in determining how far you can go.

But in all sincerity, it's worth it in the end and there's no crime in giving it a shot.

They don't want to do the hard work but want all the benefits, Nigerians too like short cut.
I laugh when I see people arguing over peanuts ehn. You see some devs charging N30k for a project, I'm like wtf?
Personally, I don't consider them as devs cos it's not easy to become one... It takes constant effort and hardwork. When I said hardwork, I mean dedicating like 50-70hrs of every week trying to learn.
WebmastersRe: How Much Should Be The Minimum Earnings Of A Developer? by Aston02(m): 1:38pm On Jun 12, 2020
It's so saddening to see guys here watering down an average income for devs. If you're good at what you do, you should be raking in dollars not Naira. Entry-level/ junior devs earn between $65-120k per annum (divide that by 12 and multiply by 410).

However, you have to be on world's best or international standard before you can earn that, which is where most problems lies for Nigerians cos we like to cut corners

he can settle with dj cuppy.dj cuppy"s dad is wealthy so i doubt if she will be gold digging on joshua"s wealth
It's not about being born into wealth alone. Because she's born into wealth doesn't mean she can't covet his, it's all about her beliefs and values. Will she be able to hold the forth when her husband is not around, is she family oriented and will uphold strong family ties, and not turn into a narcissist over night? Will she be able to look him in the eye and tell him when he messes up or just someone who will agree with whatever he says just because she always wants to be on his good side. Lastly, will she give him peace of mind and not live the life for the gram while loosing touch with realities? All these are things I think the guy is critically considering before making that choice. Not everybody wants or desire to toll the divorce lane when the going gets rough.

A good example is Tyson Fury's wife(judging from what I've read and watched about the family). The woman is one down to earth lady who complements him.

Sincerely, It's hard to make that choice when you're famous. When you get rich n famous to a certain extent, you'll have to be critical of the choices you make.

Now he's conscious of who to settle down with cos that decision can make or mar him. I like the fact that he's looking for someone that is down to earth and family oriented because when all this fame fades away, and the spotlight ain't on you anymore, then you'll know the true color of people.

God doesnt need anyones money. The money most times are used to buy cars, jets houses by pastors. Some also use it to fuk high class babes and buy them cars and houses. Almost all mpg send their kids to study abroad . If God need your money he will send angel to come fetch it
God needs your money! Because he won't come down from heaven to collect it doesn't mean we should give him what's duly His. There are a whole lot of things that goes into running a church or being a pastor. There are lots of missionary works and pastors these men people sponsor and contribute to. Because they don't get to talk about it often doesn't mean they are scam. Most pastors are on full time and they have families too. How do you expect them to feed their families, cater for the spiritual and sometimes physical well being of their members.

However, I do know there are other churches whose pastors feed large at the expense of their members. And there are churches that the pastor in charge are not even aware of the money in the church's purse other than the monthly allowance given to him. In addition, most of them pay back tithe too.

While some get all these things as gifts as well.

For me, I know how my pastor is living and I've seen him going the extra mile because of his members. If he buys a jeep tomorrow, I don't think I have the right to question where he gets the money to buy. That's between him and God, not me.
