Actually the completion of the shop project was done by both of them (my dad and uncle) last month
That's exactly what I understand the case to be. And I think your uncle plans to own it in the end.

Samogbo1:
this man has been genuinely fighting for true democracy in Nigeria.
I can not agree with this statement!

A person fighting for true democracy will be advocating for people to go out and vote, especially since the current government is in power having won only 10% of the eligible votes.

Instead, he is asking people to come out and protest, as if he is NANS president calling for aluta, which he should know is not democracy and does not change anything.

I can not support him because I do not see wisdom in what he does.

In the Ethiopian epic Kebra Nagast (“Glory of Kings”):

The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon in Jerusalem.
Their son, Menelik I, later travels to Jerusalem.
He returns to Ethiopia with sacred objects and Levite priests.

This is why only Ethiopia has the original Jewish scriptures in the Kebra Nagast and are different from the Roman Empire version you have been taught, after the Roman Empire destroyed or took away and kept the original Jewish scriptures and used their own new version to hack your mind. This is why my posts here are to de-hack your mind.
I was never "taught" what you think and I have already hacked my own mind, for that is how one gains understandimg.

The Orthodox Tewahedo biblical canon does not differ much from the Tanakh, and the messianic idea is a later Christian addition, though it prevailed in most religions before that, likely due to human helplessness.

And the messianic idea in buddhism, which promotes self reliance, is what some buddhist would use to separate fools from their money just as it is in most religions.

And for your information, the Kebra Nagast is not a collection of the original Jewish scriptures; rather, it is a 14th-century Ethiopian national and religious epic compiled in the Ge'ez language around the 1300s to document the legendary founding of the Ethiopian royal line by Menelik.

All history in religious texts are pseudo history from the eyes of their writers for their own nations glory.

MindHacker9009:
This is about the dates the Messiah ideas originated in each religion:
I can only suggest to you that the understanding of the religious ideas that originated whenever differ immensely from the understanding of some.

Take Judaism for instance. You say, written in 1000 BCE, and in the third chapter is it written that "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return". Yet later more recent additions mention a messiah, which in my own opinion contradicts that very verse, though you might yourself not see that a God that refuses to feed me and curses me to be responsible for my own food might also require me to be responsible for my own salvation.

Buddhism teaches The Truth of Suffering (Dukkha). The Origin of Suffering (Samudaya) is caused by craving, grasping, and ignorance. The Cessation of Suffering (Nirodha) (what some see as salvation), is by completely letting go of the cravings and attachments that bind us to dissatisfaction so as to achieve a state of liberation, peace, and enlightenment, known as Nirvana. And the Path to the End of Suffering (Magga) is by following the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of eight interconnected practices that guide ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom.

No where does it claim some messiah will come and save anyone, but as I said, some will be blind or lame or deaf or ill and seek messianic solutions, while some will seek to understand what they are told instead of just believing crap that only enslaves them.

The concept of messianism is not accepted by all in the religions you mentioned, and even in Christianity, some know they themselves are the saviour gods who will "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth" and be blessed with their own salvation.

Please know that I am having this conversation with you because you hack minds. To me it means you first hack your own mind so as to understand, and have done so regarding religions too.

Check which are the oldest religions:
Hinduism — c. 1500 BCE
Zoroastrianism — c. 1200 BCE
Judaism — c. 1000 BCE
Buddhism — c. 500 BCE
Christianity — c. 30 CE
Islam — c. 610 CE
Why should I Check which are the oldest religions?

Does age somehow relate to understanding?

Atum was worshipped throughout the majority of Ancient Egyptian history, from predynastic times through the Roman period. His worship peaked during the Old Kingdom (c. 2686–2181 BCE), when he was the supreme creator god.
NYSC › Re: Should NYSC Not Be Scrapped? by budaatum(op): 3:16pm On Jul 01
I've been calling for NYSC to be scrapped or reformed, and it sounds like my call has finally been heard.

The current focus of many is the uniform, but this is sure to go much further than that, I hope.

Now let me hope no one finds the post where I said my Obidient self will adopt Tinubu as my god if he adds this to his floating of Naira and the removal of fuel subsidy.

MindHacker9009:
Buddhism
Expects Maitreya, the future Buddha, who will appear when the teachings of the current Buddha have been forgotten and will rediscover and teach the Dharma anew.
This depends on understanding, as the concept of messianism is contrary to the same buddhism that suggests that you yourself possess the tools for your own salvation.

I'd even go further and suggest that messianism is a misunderstanding in Christianity, since one is advised to carry ones own cross. But as Christ is written to have taught, "the blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised", and the understanding of the message is only understood by those who seek it with all their hearts and souls and minds and beings, (according to the baur, which differs to mosts).

Cognitive and mental tests are required before joining the military and security services .

You are the employer of the president, so I guess you get to determine if the person you vote for is mad or not.

Thankfully, you are not the only one voting.

I happen to think your father has sold your inheritance to his brother. Or why would he not inform you his son of his project even if you could not contribute financially?

I suggest you tell him to sort out his affairs (and his thinking), because his brother might not accept whatever money you decide to refund him, and might insist you buy him out at inflated current today rates.

I doubt any finance house or bank will get involved in this until its sorted unless they want to swindle you.

Companies do it in their interview.
Are you saying you have been invited to interviews to be asked if you have a history of madness?

Which company would that be please?

DomPerignon:
The constitution even states that clarity and sanity of mind as being one of the most crucial credentials to being elected into public service.
The Nigerian Constitution stipulates that anyone officially declared to be of unsound mind is entirely disqualified from running for or holding public service positions.

So, pray tell, which official officially declared Obi to be of unsound mind?

Politics › Re: Are We Ready Yet? by budaatum(op): 1:35pm On Jul 01
casualobserver:
My comments in this thread are specifically about the BS line: “you can be anything you want”. It may be said with encouragement and good intent but it is a blatant lie for 99% of the population.

More realistic is “you are free to embark on any path/ endeavors you wish, but there is no guarantee of success or happiness” That brings a reality check and causes the person to ask themselves if this is actually the best path as opposed to leading people astray Pie in the sky dreams. By using the word “can” you are subconsciously assuring them of success even if that path is not for them.

If you recognize someone has the potential in a specific area, you can say “you can be a great actor, lawyer teacher politician” etc but nobody “can” be “anything they want” in any field.
Dude please, no one is stupid enough to believe anyone can be the first lady, since that position is limited in availability! And that's apart from it being a silly thing to want to be instead of president, which could simply be of your own company. And even that is not guaranteed, as there is indeed "no guarantee of success or happiness”. You may want to go live on the moon, for instance, but without the right resources and opportunities and abilities and effort you'd very likely remain on earth.

The fact remains that aspiration and effort for realistic goals would likely move one closer than not aspiring at all, and the "want" in the phrase " you can be anything you want" does imply opportunities and abilities and effort, unless you think it means sit on one's ass and expect it from the gods in the heavens.

Do note that I am not telling Freeze007 that he can be anything he wants to be, since it seems his opportunities are limited. I've even asked him to identify his SWOTs to enable him to set himself realistic goals and aspirations.

In this harsh world we live in you can not even eat whatever you want unless you are prepared to work for it! And even after working very hard for it, you might need to settle for half of what you want, but that would still be much better than having no goals and putting in no effort at all.

Salty water is a better alternative to fresh water as a coolant but owing to corrosion risk caused by dissolved salts and minerals it isn't.
Bezos would likely prefer the cheaper fresh water people drink than expensive water from the Atlantic Ocean that he'd need to spend his own money transporting and desalinizing so his chips are not salty.

casualobserver:
Correction: that’s not what I said. What I said is that just because you have the desire/dream to be something does not mean you have the talent, opportunity or intangible qualities (eg luck, personality, location, contacts etc) required to fulfill that dream. As such this idea put forward by floozies that you can be anything you want is largely a selling falsehoods based on using examples of exceptions as the rule.

Basically because you have an ambition does not mean the universe and your unique circumstance/probabilities favour a successful outcome. In such circumstances, those telling you that you can be anything you want are not helping you.
And no one said dreaming is talent and or opportunity or even ambition, but that does not mean one should not aspire to try to improve one's self and lot!

You might not achieve what you aspire to be but I'm certain you'd be better of for trying than not trying at all.

At the moment I am farming, meagerly though

Where I am fashion and designing but I know I may not be able to do that.

As for the skills I would be happy to learn cyber security

At the moment my challenge is a laptop and knowing where to learn this, though, I live in the village (rural area)
Why would you not be able to learn fashion and design?

Do you perhaps subscribe to casualobserver's theory that one can't learn what one sets one's heart to?

Do a Gemini search for "learning cybersecurity" and tell me which of the steps you have already taken.

What do you farm?

People that live in Nigeria is this true?

Has the Trump administration killed over a thousand jihadists since he started saving Nigerian Christians?

Did they kill over 200 terrorists in one single operation? Where were the bodies displayed after this huge kill?

Did they recover so much ammunition that nothing compared to it since 9/11.

Please enlighten us as we may not be aware. But it seems like something of this magnitude would make the news in Nigeria and there would be bodies to be seen. Especially if the claim is that a thousand have been killed.

Has the terrorism situation improved?

pussyphilia:
In every human relationships involving two humans, there's bound to be one who calls the shots. Although the major religions teach that the man is the head or leader of the family, I believe that the leader or head of a family shouldn't be determined just by sex organs. If the woman is the dominant personality, more educated, smarter, richer etc, she should take the lead and have the man submit to her. If people identify themselves and accept whom they are ie dominant or submissive, we'll have more stable marriages. Ladies who possess that dominant personality should never be deceived by society into trying to conform to what she's not by submitting to any man instead, they should try to identify submissive guys --who are even in their large numbers in our society, and get married to them.
I disagree with your "In every human relationships involving two humans, there's bound to be one who calls the shots". You and I can relate as friends with neither of us calling the shots, and i definitely do not need my husband submitting to me just because my "personality is dominant or I'm more educated, smarter, richer etc," as that's not a recipe for a good relationship.

Just think. I might be more of those things to begin with, but what if he goes to educate himself and gets smarter and finds a job that makes him richer, do we now switch so he now dominates me after maybe years of me dominating him?

A smart relationship is that we be equal so our one plus one equals two, while a submissive relationship is one plus half which is one and a half. Think brains. Two is better.
