Christianity Etc › Re: God Has Commanded You To Be Fruitful by budaatum: 3:17am On Dec 24, 2024
Educate, if you can please, why after everything that had been created was good, some people then wrote that "The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Also, if you can, explain the implication of this further creation.

Thank you in advance.

Politics › Re: Budget 2025: Balancing Aspirations With Fiscal Realities - Punch Editorial by budaatum: 3:10am On Dec 24, 2024
The budget’s reliance on borrowing raises red flags. At $33.13bn in dollar terms, the 2025 budget is lower than the $38bn 2022 budget, reflecting the naira’s depreciation.

Over 80 per cent of government expenditures are dollar-dependent, exacerbating fiscal pressures. Compared to peers like South Africa ($160bn budget) and Egypt ($110bn), Nigeria’s expenditure remains modest for its 230 million citizens.
I hope no one fails to see that we are much 'richer' and budget much 'more' per person than some countries do.

South Africa population 63 million
Budget $106bn

Egypt population 116 million
Budget $110bn

Nigeria population 236 million
Budget $33.13


I made it bold blue for the blind.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Why Job Interviews Are Pointless? by budaatum: 2:46am On Dec 24, 2024
My sister told me about an interview for a job she had. After she left, she was ashamed at how many times her answers to question included what she had learnt from her mother, and she thought, better luck next time. Then she got home and got a call asking when she could start please.

She was so surprised that she actually asked the employer if they were sure. And the employer was so surprised that she did not know how well she had aced the interview.

My point is, a lot can be told about your psychology and philosophy to work from just your attitude and the choice of words you use to express yourself. And don't forget we already will have your application form that says quite a lot about you.

Some guys, pigs usually, think their beauty and attractiveness is in how they look on the surface or the rich car they drive and the money in their wallet, and don't realise some women see the quality of your heart and your soul.

Must we attend church services to do this?

YES!

Because it's only when we meet together with fellow believers that we will continue encouraging ourselves to keep doing this work: God's will! Hebrews 10:24-25

God bless you and may you have PEACE!
Church may be where 'we' learn. Out in the world amongst the neighbours where Christ sent his disciples is where being the salt of the earth that is learnt is practised.

Peace.
Christianity Etc › Re: Lagos High Court Orders Arrest Of Redeemed Pastor, Deacon Over Land Grabbing by budaatum: 5:45am On Dec 22, 2024
xliente:
Nah, bro. It's the other way round. The Pastor and Deacon dragged the RCCG into this by allegedly grabbing land whilst still being affiliated as reputable figures in the church. RCCG need do It's investigation faster than the courts to prove their innocence or guilt, save the church reputation and dissociate itself from such evil acts and actors. If they weren't title holders in church, no one will overlap their names with RCCG. Moreover, refusing to show up for court summons to prove their innocence against glaring evidence only makes matters worse. Leaders ought to show good examples. Bad leaders show bad examples leading to bad PR publicity whether its church, business or any secular groups. Plus social media had a nasty habit of dragging down big names and so will rather use RCCG's name rather than the names of the culprits to sell the story, as was done in the title of the original post.

She is a helluva great mother.

Bad maintained kerosene stoves if you asked me, because now you remind me, we did use a kerosene stove at times. Had to burn full blue flame though, as yellow flame, which incidentally is a waste of fuel, is not as hot so wouldn't help get the pressure.

Same thing. I guess I'm old schooled.

In fact, "pressure pot" is rather new to me, as we called what does look like a pressure pot a pressure cooker.

You sabi. I don't know why not many Nigerians buy pressure cooker. Saves gas and time.
Pressure cookers don't work well on a kerosene stove I don't think, and most have only recently advanced to gas.

Been using one since mid 70s myself, as grew with ma using one from before I was born. She's what you'd call alaroro. I think that's because we were not wealthy, and she had daughters to feed and pad and not be tempted by pigs. No light in rooms no one's in, and lantern instead of matches. Food on the dinning table without fail though, but god help you if your cutlery is missing.

https://wolfstreet.com/2024/12/19/census-bureau-revises-up-population-growth-8-million-in-3-years-due-to-immigration-total-us-population-340-million/

The U.S. population grew by nearly 1.0% between 2023 and 2024, according to the new Vintage 2024 population estimates released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

As the nation’s population surpasses 340 million, this is the fastest annual population growth the nation has seen since 2001 — a notable increase from the record low growth rate of 0.2% in 2021. The growth was primarily driven by rising net international migration.

Three states saw their populations decrease slightly between 2023 and 2024: Vermont (-215), Mississippi (-127) and West Virginia (-516), up from two states that lost population between 2022 and 2023.

The losses in Mississippi and Vermont resulted from negative net domestic migration and natural decrease (more deaths than births), and the loss in West Virginia was from natural decrease.

I am not angry, lol. Its not like you will come to my house and cook my beans how I'd rather not now. Or would you?

Just that gas and pressure cookers are not as risky as you are making out, and I'd not like the false opinion that they might be to prevail without dispute.

Its like if claimed the earth were square, you need not be angry when you say otherwise. Though, to be honest, you ought to want to come and kick my ass after asking if my school fees were paid in full.

All can come to pass except Nigeria's own....

Nigeria forever can never attain such economic height...not with her unproductive and corrupt leadership.
Actually, what you are saying is you and I and every other current Nigerian can never be productive enough so our economy is worth what is projected. And I personally beg to differ.

For while you and I might be lazy fuqs who look up to heaven for manna, I'm certain our children and grandchildren would be smarter and wiser and work much harder than you do with the sweat on their brows.

And even though you might not be putting in the effort to teaching them, the future of hardship you will leave for them will make them learn to be better. Or just die, of course, so there's no Nigeria at all.

Nice idea, but it more riskier to be playin around gas cooker grin
I guess you can stick to charcoal or wood and a clay pot to avoid risk.

Just know we are not "playing around gas cooker", we are cooking beans with it. And not every one is so afraid of the risk of living or is willing to bear the expense of not innovating.

Do your research first
I did wonder.

I always add salt to my beans at start. I find if I add it later, the salt never seems to be enough, so I add more only to find there's way too much salt, and oversalted beans is just unedible

It is risky

The pressure cooker can explode ; have an impact on the gas cooker And explode the camping gas too
Do you think we are talking about some untested industrial pressure cooker?

If they exploded as easily as you think you'd be able to provide reports and there'd be few sold in the market.

It does depend on how hard or soft you like your beans of course, and the conditions of your seals.

Your pressure cooker might not be as pressured as mine.

It continues cooking for about 30 minutes after you switch the gas off.

Sometimes I just wanna give people grace that maybe they don’t realize how they’re coming across. Especially with long posts back to back and somewhat heated exchanges in between. Personalities can get muddied. And I hope that was the case with him.

I applaud you for constraining yourself.
I must give people grace, even when they do know how they come across. Its like turning the other cheek. I find they either get tired of slapping and we grow together or my cheeks get stronger.

Besides, I can't exactly be Human Rights and then go about being an ass now can I, except to the resident stupid idiot of course. Now that piece of what comes out of a rear end is a different category all together.
