Politics or no Politics!

Trump has stood for Godly Principles!

GOD is no Respecter of Persons! Those that Honor Him, he Honors!
So you support him so he can honour you?
He must be your messiah then.

You know very well that this movement is moving nowhere, and I for one appreciate the platform seun has freely provided here than to be asking for more as if its my entitlement.

You all should go read some Adam Smith and open your minds!

You come on here and freely use what seun has provided for your use, but like many you are not satisfied with what you are freely given and ask for more as if you are entitled!

The actual truth is that the spiritual does not exist. If you keep looking for the already found truth you would meet a lot of con artist who would con you and eat your money and time.

My own piece of advice
Depends what you mean by "spiritual". You must understand that religion has a language of its own, and in order to understand it, you must convert it to a language you do understand.

One can, for instance, read the Bible in 'English', but without a spiritual understanding it would just be words in a book that hardly make any sense at all, and sound ridiculous and absurd. But with an understanding of context, and that it isn't meant to be taken literally (unlike how most take it), it would begin to make sense, is what I find. And I speak from haven been an atheist for most of my life, and a student of science and philosophy.

Organized religion they give person headache.

I prefer those silent ones.

An your diagram was drawn by a human being, so I smell a rat.

Na dem,dem.
All diagrams, and religions, and what you've asked for, are drawn by human beings. Even you are here asking us fellow human beings of your's for answers, so I do not see how that's a problem.

One thing you need to understand is precisely that, human understanding. Christians, for instance, would tell you that you must believe, but why believe what you do not first understand? Was Jesus not crucified for not believing what his contemporaries believed? Besides, is it not written that satan also believes, so how can that be a good thing?

You have a brain and a mind of your own, so rather than just believe, seek ye first an understanding, and all other things will follow.

Well I know a tight man and he is Rosicrucian.

He kept many of those books in his house, if you are not a member you won't understand what's written no matter how many times you read it
Membership is following this advise:

hakeem4:
Read your science and philosophy textbook and you’d become a master of the physical. There’s no need going to any imaginary spiritual realm
Basically, "do not live by bread alone", but you become like a child and abandon all your preconceived misconceptions, which a wise man said is harder than a camel going through a needles eye.

I'd have asked op to start here, but he seems to want quick and easy answers to lifetime questions, and is under the preconceived notion that organised religion has nothing to offer him even while mentioning Amorc that requires the belief in the existence of God.

You cannot square a circle by ignoring corners.

Of course you do! Someone tells you what to believe.

You do not seem to understand when "plummeted" is used in reference to share prices, and while trying to educate you is pointless, I can't but hope.

I saw it live, I'm going to see if I can it.
2% is not "plummeted" by anyone's reckoning, but then, what would you know about such things?

I wonder what you'd say when todays drop is recouped.

TheLasyBuddha:
I practiced Buddhism from 2014 to 2018. In all, Buddhism taught me it isn't the labels that matter, but who I have become as a Buddhist.

I was fortunate to be under the teachings of Western circular Buddhist who describes himself as someone who is irreligious but enormously inspired by the knowledge the Buddha shared. I followed in that path and I loved every bit of it.

In 2017, I met a Buddhist community here in Nigeria that practiced Nicheren Buddhism, Soka Gakkai International (SGI). I was excited about the idea of meeting people who shared my faith but along the line, I was never drawn to that sect. Eventually, I left the group and dropped Buddhism as a religion in 2018.

What I learned: it is not about being a "spiritual" person, but about walking the path. It is not about the labels, it is about your personality and character.

Take it from someone who has studied all of those spiritual/religious systems and MORE, it is about who you are! You would find yourself telling people even when they didn't ask about how spiritual you are but true spiritual knowledge will teach you not of that matters at all.

Your quest for spirituality may still be disguided even if it is for a greater cause.
Sounds like a Bodhisattva.

Instead of attaining Bhuddahood for oneself, you return to the world to help those still suffering by letting it be seen how the path is walked.

hehehe....I tire oooo for this bloggers. Bros any better eBook for me?
Hard to recommend books as I don't know what you read. I'm still trying to respond to kkins25's request for books for his students! (You should start a thread kk!)

I'm currently reading The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Its about life was in US for immigrants in the 1900s. Gruesome! Like Naija in the 2000s.

Two must reads are George Orwell's 1984, and his A Clergyman's Daughter, if you haven't read them already.

Give me an idea of what you read and I'll look for you.

I thought we were talking about shagari. He's dead not so? Besides just cause someone made that statement doesn't make it true. GEJ is still alive and all heists by his govt are on the table. Yar'adua is dead and nothing has been heard untoward about his time. Shall we celebrate his holiness then?
budaatum:
I guess you have an instrument with which you measured which era was more corrupt so I'll let that pass instead of entering a who's got better tits argument with you. Bet you weren't amongst us who rejoiced when that era was ended by Buhari though. Never has a Nigerian coup been so welcomed.

Do you need an instrument? Are you from space? $3.5bn reparations and still counting by the chief of loots himself? Or $1.9bn gulf oil windfall with attendant dashing off of oil blocs during the time of the evil genius. Who needs a ruler to measure all these thefts
Those are the one's you know of, and you therefore think you know it all.

Someone once said if Abacha had not died we'd have never heard of his looting, and the reason we do not know how much others looted is they are alive to hide it.
Crime › Re: Over 3 Villages Massacre In Ebonyi State (video) by budaatum: 11:51pm On May 28, 2020
Is this related, I wonder?


Two persons have been killed in cult clashes which broke out in Afikpo South local government area of Ebonyi State.

Irked by the incident, Governor David Umahi on Wednesday ordered security agencies to fish out the perpetrators and prosecute them.

PREMIUM TIMES gathered that the second victim was killed in the area on Wednesday morning in a reprisal attack.

The Commissioner of Police, Awosola Awotinde, confirmed the killings and arrests of the suspects.

Background

One Onu Ukpai Chima was allegedly killed in Owutu community in the area on Sunday as two rival cult groups clashed.

The killings allegedly led to the raid of hideouts of the cultists by police on Tuesday night.

But after the police left, a cousin of the late Chima, whose name was given as Ukegbu, reportedly went on a reprisal attack and killed one Raphael Chijioke alleged to be a member of the cult group that allegedly killed Chima.

Reacting to the killings on Wednesday, Mr Umahi described the killings as unacceptable.

He urged security agencies to move in an arrest anybody involved in the killings no matter how highly placed they may be.

“The killings in Afikpo south is not acceptable. If we can solve this problem once and for all, it will be good.

“As the Governor of the state, I cannot take side. Security agents should go and do investigation and arrest whoever that is involved, get the person arrested and do proper investigation.

“Take the people involved in the killings to court. I will sign any paper for execution, I will do it to prove a point in Afikpo south.”

Most of the source capital for the banks were the Military Generals that ruled the country. They looted billions of dollars and needed the banks to help them hide and launder their money, that is fact.
Its not "fact", Ruud, but what you believe, and being a non-believing individual myself, you'd need to provide me with evidence for your claim please.

There were many in the 90s who made money outside government and with no military generals help.

Very untrue. That was the era when cronyism and corruption was at its peak. Hardly could anyone get anything done in that era without knowing someone up there or greasing palms. Stop being an apologist for dictators and their lackeys
You obviously were not around in the Shagari era.
