NNTR:
God is not the author of confusion nor of contradictions, un like your Mohammed that you mentioned immediately below

I was not comparing Mohammed to God, but to those who claim their knowledge was not learnt and was instead brought to them by divine means.

And I wouldn't agree that God (or more accurately the writers of the God stories), did not contradict in this story (and many others in fact). Job was obviously confused.

NNTR:
An opportunity to have his Achilles' heel (i.e. his fear) get sorted out

Job was not described to have had an achilles heel as far as I know. He was in fact described as "perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil", so what heel was God testing when the narrative actually describes God being tested by satan?

Wahala for Nigel Farage. You lie with a bug, you get fleas. Nigga was expecting a big bag only to get a vote of no confidence

Elon Musk has no idea about Britain though. His takes on British political landscape are more far off like an alien making commentary on Itsekiri political structure

Farage, 60, indicated Musk’s statement could be connected to a disagreement about Tommy Robinson, the jailed far-right anti-Islam agitator whom Musk has characterised as a political prisoner, but whom Farage condemns.

Musk’s embrace of Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has coincided with his interest in cases of grooming gangs in some UK towns and cities, and the decision by Phillips to tell Oldham council, one of the areas affected, that she did not think a second national inquiry into lessons from the scandal was needed.

I bet he magas, lol.

For the first time since that transition 24 years ago, there will be no American troops at war overseas on Inauguration Day. New data reported in the past few days indicate that murders are way down, illegal immigration at the southern border has fallen even below where it was when Mr. Trump left office and roaring stock markets finished their best two years in a quarter-century.

Jobs are up, wages are rising and the economy is growing as fast as it did during Mr. Trump’s presidency. Unemployment is as low as it was just before the Covid-19 pandemic and near its historic best. Domestic energy production is higher than it has ever been.

The manufacturing sector has more jobs than under any president since Mr. Bush. Drug overdose deaths have fallen for the first time in years. Even inflation, the scourge of the Biden presidency, has returned closer to normal, although prices remain higher than they were four years ago.

“President Trump is inheriting an economy that is about as good as it ever gets,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics. “The U.S. economy is the envy of the rest of the world, as it is the only significant economy that is growing more quickly post-pandemic than prepandemic.”

No we admit that Nigerians like you who gathered and opposed subsidy removal and crippled the economy for several days under GEaj were brainless and still brainless today for supporting a policy they opposed. GEJ had to succumb when the sponsored protests were prolonged and impacting the economy. We all agree on one thing: whoever opposed removal of subsidy under GEJ but support removal of subsidy under Tinubu is brainless.

If it helps, I have always been against fuel subsidy, and currency subsidy for the wealthy, and the one I hate most, wage bill subsidy for employers that many knows as Youth Corper. If they scrap that wage bill subsidy, employers will have to pay their staff the market rate instead of the meagre subsidised wage they currently pay.

If a thread were to be created about a parent testing their child like that, most will call social services on that parent's ass.

Wise indeed. We did agree it was a made up story that didn't actually happen, like a lot of made up stories in the Bible.

Intellectual, and/or even head knowledge reading are not enough to grasp all thats in the book of Job

This is so school na scammick. I'm not buying. People say that you say here and then regurgitate what they grasped intellectually with their own head, if they bothered, or they come up with some unreasoning they been told to believe, or worse, they claim their own understanding is not from their head by straight from God. To wit, pull the other one. Mohammed pulled that last one and Christians would never accept it so I wonder why they think it would work on non-Christians.

I am from Obi's state. I honestly don't think he would have done better than BAT.

Quite a lot of people agree with you. But my support for Obi is not because I thought he would have done better, but because the government at the time needed destabilising in my opinion.

If a party rules too long they know what money to siphon into their own pockets, while a new government would spend some time looking for the money before they can loot it. That time in between them finding the money and looting it is why I want constant change of government in Nigeria until a competent person comes along.

I wish he had stayed with Atiku. Though I like Atiku even less, I think they would have beaten APC.

Basically, he used you. He knew you'd all fight against fuel subsidy, so he marched in front and led you to fight knowing that will make him a man of your people, but now he's in power he is doing what should be done.

Hopefully, you have learnt not to trust your politicians, and make you scrutinise them much more.

Christianity Etc › Job, A Summary by budaatum(op): 3:29pm On Jan 05, 2025

When I first read the Book of Job, I rushed to dad and asked why God would be playing bet9ja with satan. It was pools in those days, and it wasn't unusual so see grown men with no teeth crying into a cup of ògógóró as they contemplated their wife throwing them out for loosing a month's wage on a bet on payday, so going to a bookie with satan was just so lowly of an Almighty God, I thought pre-10.

Dad's answer was, perhaps go ask God? So I did by reading Job again and again, and for years, asking all the questions I could think of. God never answered of course, least not how I'd hoped. Probably had planets and stars and cosmoses to be more concerned about than to be answering buda, but in my questioning I got Job woven into my dna somehow to lens my world outlook which is turning out to be a huge answer indeed.

So, you all admit Jonathan lacked the balls to remove fuel subsidy, and caved in to Tinubu's protests? I'm glad we are on the same page.

If you had all voted for my Peter Obi, things might have been better, or worse to be honest, but you'd at least not be contending with Mr Bullion Van, which in my own opinion was enough not to elect him. But here we are with President Agbado, and I personally appreciate the fuel and currency subsidy removals, and the hardship too in fact, as its likely to make you consider your pvc and voting to be more precious and important than most otherwise thought it was.

Please, if you like him as little as I do, vote for Peter Obi or anyone (but perhaps not Atiku please) at the next election.

And before anyone attempts to try to tell me Tinubu was not elected, please read this first!

The above makes me suspect your communication skills might have been at fault.

If you so easily slip from "female business partner" to "friend" in communicating with me, I can't help but wonder about possible faux pas when communicating with your wife.

Insisting you "end the partnership and look for a male partner instead" is a bit much, and you complying further rings alarms in my head since its invading your pocket too.

Do know I'm merely speculating, since I know absolutely nothing about you and your wife.

For reference, I checked Lag-Lon-Lag on BA (you need the return for visa), and it came to $1,276.80, which equals 1,027.77 Pound sterling. So, I suggest you limit your japa to inside Nigeria, like the next town in the same state so returning home wouldn't be too cumbrous.

Any comment by a subject is subjective.

Nnamdipapa:

Of course it doesn't make it a tribal affair! I after all do find Yoruba me criticizing Tinubu to Yoruba people who defend him. Hence my criticism of your "average".

Why blame criticism, or support for that matter, on tribalism if your own perspective is not tribal?

Nnamdipapa:
Are you going to teach people how to criticize their president? Don't you realize, for the most part, emotions play a major part in criticisms?

I'm obviously not "going to teach people how to criticize their president". He's their president, they can go murder him for all I care, though I'd rather they got off their asses and elect a better president at the next opportunity.

And no, I don't realise that for the most part, "emotions play", since I'm fully aware that many ignorantly choose whom they voted for, and selfishly stupidly collected ₦x000 to vote for the president, or didn't even bother voting at all so the current president won, etc. I'd say ignorance played a more major part, but put that down to my very subjective opinion since I have not done statistics on the matter.

Now, my dear Budaatum, how do you feel when people from other tribe criticize Tinubu? Do you see that as a tribal slur?

The tribe of the criticizer is irrelevant if Tinubu does bad and deserves criticism. And a slur or insult or whatever against and about Tinubu does not in any way affect budaatum.

If you catch a Yoruba thief in Onitsha market, you will not put tyre and pour petrol and light match on buda because buda is Yoruba. Unless you are an ignorant bigoted fuq, of course.

And for your information, a slur against budaatum on Nairaland is not seen by budaatum as a slur against budaatum. At best, is just the slurrer sitting somewhere making crap up about the buda they know nothing about, (just as you have accused me of doing about you, note).

You have not done any statistical analysis to enable you to use that term!

And even "average on Nairaland" is false, and is the sort of language used by a bigot.
