Politics › FG's TraderMoni Scheme Fraud by budaatum(op): 1:27am On Dec 15, 2018
Daramola’s high hopes in TraderMoni crashed, when, on qualifying to receive the initial N10,000 loan, he only got the sum of N8,000 – N2,000 less than the amount promised by the Federal Government. Disappointed, and worried about how he would still be expected to repay N10,000, according to the requirements of the scheme, Daramola took to the social media to voice his complaints.

In a post on his Twitter handle, @DaramolaMike22, he wrote, “So I received the #TraderMoni by #FG today, but to my surprise, the officials gave out N8,000 instead of N10,000 which means they deducted N2,000 each from everyone who got the money. How do we make Nigeria work with such acts? @DrJoeAbah, @ProfOsinbajo, @segalink, @feladurotoye.”

Daramola was not the only one to be short-changed in the TraderMoni scheme, as discovered in further investigations by our correspondent. Many other beneficiaries, all petty traders, had N2,000 deducted from the ‘loan’ extended to them by the Federal Government.

Our correspondent discovered that the ‘deductions’ were rampant!
Politics › Nigeria Sues Shell, Eni Over 2011 Oil Deal by budaatum(op): 9:37pm On Dec 14, 2018

Nigeria has filed a $1.1bn legal claim against international energy majors Royal Dutch Shell and Eni in London on Thursday, linked to a controversial 2011 deal for an oil licence.

The undeveloped deepwater plot, named OPL 245, is already at the centre of a Milan corruption trial where prosecutors have alleged bribes of $1.1bn out of a $1.3bn deal were paid to public officials for the plot.

The filing, in the commercial division of the High Court and seen by the Financial Times, alleges 14 defendants — including Shell, Eni and its Nigerian subsidiaries — “participated in a fraudulent and corrupt scheme” leading to the acquisition of the licence.

There is a video on Youtube titled, Seth Raphael Claims Randi’s Million Dollar Challenge. In the video raphael claims to have created a computer program that can identify a person’s randomly selected card from a shuffled deck. There is a device that “reads thoughts” when worn. In the end of the test, Randi agrees he cannot explain the program’s power, and that the device can basically read minds… However, there is a twist so feel free to watch and find out. In all honesty the money don't exist

You don't need to give 100k to anyone. Join the Illuminati. It's free to join. But when you enter, they will ask you to bring human sacrifices. If you refuse, they will start oppressing you with supernatural forces. Test and see. Like I said, it's free to join. They also promise to make you rich after sacrifice.
And you know this because when you asked to join they asked you for human sacrifice and when you refused they oppressed you?

I suggest you study more into how the gospels came about. There's quite a lot of research done about it that not knowing is a choice.

One of the evidences is this below :

John 21:24-25 KJV
This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
[25] And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.


These are the very last two verses of the book of John , which serve as an identify of the writer and his signature.

"He doesn't plan to pick a horse in this race," Michael Vachon, Soros' chief spokesman, told CNBC in an email after being asked where his boss stands on the growing list of possible Democratic candidates for president.

Vachon explained that the Democrats who will be in the running for the nomination will likely not see a commitment from Soros because "he thinks there are several good candidates." Vachon did not name the candidates Soros praised.

Mathew was the Jewish tax collector for the Roman govt who was called by Jesus tp become one of the Twelve apostles.
Thus , his Gospel often gives an eye -witness account.

The book of John was written by John the brother of James who were followers of John the Baptist until Jesus called them to follow him. Jesus referred to them as " Sons of Thunder " , but later as "disciple whom Jesus loved".
John also wrote the 123 books of John and the bpok of Revelation.
He was very close to Jesus. This gives , also , a vivid eye - witness account .

Lastly , translations from one existing language to another existing language is not a research work per se but more of education .
There is no evidence for any of this, eni, and the accounts you claim were written by the people you mention does not indicate they wrote it!

And the research was not simply translating "from one existing language to another existing language".

Was mark the only gospel ?
What about Matthew and John , were the Two not disciples of Jesus ?
The Gospels according to Matthew and John were not written by the disciples Matthew and John, eni. And it isn't true that "What is available from that long past years is enough and more authentic than mere probabilities set by researchers", nor is it true that "any research after more that a Thousand year is a guess work or mere opinion".

The Bible itself has benefited immensely from research done in the past thousand years. If it hadn't, you'd have had to learn Latin or Greek to be able to read it!

People pay subscription in Freemasonry and other mystic schools to get these knowledge. Yet you poor brats get it free and insult the bearer of the info/
The ritual of Freemasonry teaches that all members should maintain freedom from pride and arrogance. The first step toward acquisition of truth is humility of mind, a sense of personal ignorance, and a desire for knowledge… — ( Proverbs 16:19 - Proverbs 18:12 - Luke 18:13,14 - Romans 12:3-8 )


“I believe that the first test of a great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.” –John Ruskin


Humility is an oft misunderstood virtue. Many people think it is an unreasoning sense of inferiority, or a lack of self appreciation. In reality, humility is far from this.

It is an honest facing of facts, admitting them, and acting according to them…. The humble man lives free of all pretense and self-deception. This honesty with facts helps him to think clearly and act freely in his daily life.

Secondly , what research did you carryout and how did you come to the conclusion that the writters of the gospel were not the disciples of Jesus ?
Have you done any research into this at all? There's quite a lot out there pointing to none of the gospels being written by the disciples of Jesus. The earliest gospel is said to be Mark, and it's author is anonymous.

And sorry luvmi. Revelations was one of the later documents. The letters of Paul being the first.

What's the highest level of consciousness??
Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness or of being aware of an external object or something within oneself.

Your question is asking "What's the highest level of awareness or of being aware of an external object or something within oneself?"

Awareness of an external object can probably easily be determined by observation, i.e. "it is an object of a certain size with a particular colour occupying a particular space and time", then someone with greater awareness comes along and defines the object by its components, describes size by displacement, it's colour in terms of temperature and light, and space and time by, well, a matrix, or, vibration, and we can easily see the controversies involved. How much more for consciousness of what is within oneself? It's not after all as if I can objectively show you my innards so we can agree what size, and colour, and space and time my consciousness is or occupies!

Whatever level of consciousness anyone claims to have attained can not be the highest, is my point. Someone else will always come along and simply by standing on your shoulders, be way more conscious than you. And amazingly, even you would become more conscious by standing on your own shoulders!

P.s. I'm nominating your thread for thread of the month, by the way, if just for it's potential. Hopefully, posters in it will delve into theirselves and stand on shoulders and see further.

I feared this was going to happen.

I was only trying to illustrate an aspect the explanation-defying extremeness of the highest level of consciousness.

I failed apparently.

In any case vibration is just one quality I guess. (Don't misinterprete this again).
You said it can only be experienced, which is true. Yet when someone expresses their experience in imperfect words, just as you did, you call it:

Ranchhoddas:
Another of your delusions?
Might "matrix virus", not just be another's understanding of their experience?

I'm guessing you two have history that I'm not aware of! Something is making me conscious of this fact.

There are millions of vibratory rates between this and the level of vibration on the human plane.
That by my reckoning is the highest level of consciousness. Why will someone claim to be able to explain that?
Yet, you explain it by claiming it "is the highest level of consciousness"?!
