Tommy organized a very peaceful protest
Yet, we clearly see his protest was not peaceful, and was full of lies he'd been fined for to antagonise others.

Funny though is, this your "peaceful" was what Choudry too claimed that kept him out of jail till now, and it will thankfully only work so long for Tommy till the law catches up with him too.

You are special and I respect you a lot, but I am telling you the truth. You need to know that there's a new heaven and new earth right now

You are well trained and I kind of love your well trained culture of discipline and restrictions.

I will tell you why you are bound after my devotion. Thanks
Thank you for your compliments. I would not be discussing with you if you were not "well trained culture of discipline" too.

That said, you are not telling me the truth, Mercisharelove. What you are telling me is what you understand, just as I am doing, and if there is a thing called the Holy Spirit that supposedly ministers to all, we'd likely see each others point even if we continue to disagree.

You will never purposefully and consciously tell people you love not to nourish themselves with the fruits of knowledge of anything not to talk of knowledge of good and evil unless you want those people to be ignorant and under your control. You will in fact pay for your self and your own children to be nourished with knowledge so they do not become slaves to others. But the doers of evil whom we read can meddle even in God's so called Garden of Eden will definitely meddle in the understanding of the Bible and ensure it is believed that good is bad and bad is good and those you read with your own eyes lived 800 or so years after eating the fruit they were told would kill them died when they ate it. You'd likely also believe the woman is the rib of man too despite reading, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them", and knowing it is woman who born man from between her own legs.

If I want to create ignorant slaves and alimanjeris, would I not hide knowledge from them, or better still, make it so they hide knowledge from themselves so I don't even need to bother chaining them? Can those who do not eat fruits of knowledge, subdue and rule anything or increase and multiply?

Go study those who brought the King James Version to Nigeria and tell me if you think they are made of mud and laboured naked and ignorantly in their Garden of Eden, or if you think they ate the fruits of knowledge for breakfast lunch and supper and built ships to go around the whole earth to rule and subdue and increase and multiply and enslave the stupid and the ignorant.

Look at our beautiful Nigeria and tell me how we are organising to protest that we are enjoying our beautiful peaceful lifes far too much because we refuse to eat fruits of knowledge we believe will kill us. Its after all not like when we say "Let there be light", we end up crying Nepa! Instead of "And there is Light". No?

Fact is, it was only after use her brain Eve fed stupid ignorant enslaved Adam the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and his eyes opened and he gained wisdom and learnt the truth and was freed from slavery and became self employed that they became able to multiply and increase in number and rule over and populate the entire earth with billions of humans who now believe they descended from them.

But I of course don't want you to know any of this please. Because if you know it you'd stop paying tithes for being my slave, and I might need to pay you instead for the work you do if you gained knowledge and your eyes truly opened, and you might even refuse to work for me and go set up your own business in competition and, God forbid, reduce my profits!

The Bible is a very complex 'Tree of Knowledge', though I'd more want to call it a branch, or a root to denote it is only the beginning so humans don't end up eating only the bread and believing and trembling in fear as a result, which is a waste of the supposed blood of Jesus, if you asked me.

There is a reason Jesus' most performed miracle was the opening of eyes. It is so we can truly see what is before us, which is that some understandings of Scripture enslave, while some free people from slavery. Understanding it empowers us to free ourselves from bondage and be the salt of the earth so we can create a "new heaven and new earth right now" right here on earth while we live instead of expecting some free imaginary after life after we are dead like salt that is not salty.

So far so good, you really think he can compete outside Nigeria market without the support of FG? Where will he get a steady daily supply of 650k crude oil from? Even if he finds a supplier, at what cost? By the time he imports from far away US or Brazil and then add cost of refining, can he compete with a better pricing against European refineries?
I think he might be able to compete outside Nigeria market without the FG putting barriers in his way. There's many countries out there begging to sell their crude oil at a discount.

seunmsg:
He made a big mistake by not first securing control over crude supply before going into downstream. My believe is that he felt he can get whatever he wants from whoever is in power in Nigeria. All he used to do before was walk into the villa and everything he wants will be delivered immediately. Sadly, this is even beyond the president as there is no enough crude to give him. If he still has small money left, he should quickly invest in some oil wells right away. Else, OYO na him case.
As I already said, and in agreement "I can't understand why he'd build such a huge refinery without first owning upstream to supply it". Its just not good business. Its even worse and more stupid if he "felt he can get whatever he wants from whoever is in power in Nigeria". If he truly felt that, my advice to him would be to shut the refinery down or just sell it to Nigerians to do with it what we may, because his business sense would need to be nil if he thought something as stupidly ridiculous as "he can get whatever he wants from whoever is in power in Nigeria" without considering the cost.

Mercisharelove:
You don't understand the bible please stop quoting the truth
Sorry, but I can not possibly "stop quoting the truth".

The title of your thread includes "What Do You Think??" And I must assume you do mean "according to my understanding" as opposed to what I may have been told to believe, so you must excuse me for using my brain instead of being brainwashed.

I think I just understand it different to how you understand it. Its after all a huge book that no one single individual can claim their understand is the only correct understanding unless they are actually ignorant. You just need read James and Paul disagreeing to know that, and that is precisely what makes the Bible the very good book it is.

Some may read it and decide they are created from mud to slave in the garden of Eden for pay that excludes the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. While some may read it and decide they are created in God's image to "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground" for pay that includes "every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it".

It is a choice that everyone who is programmed by the Bible religion needs to make. To either be a naked ignorant slave on reduced pay, or a ruler and subduer and fruitful multiplier and increaser on full pay.

Jesus would have fallen on the mountain had he not consumed the fruits of knowledge. And anyone who wants to subdue satan must equally eat as much as same fruit as he must have eaten.

What do you think?

while the masses bears the grunt.

But then the reverse became the case, the masses beared the grunt,
You see the above? I really don't get it.

How is the masses currently bearing the grunt the reverse of "the masses bears the grunt"?

What we Nigerians always seem to not want to accept is that the masses always bear the brunt of mismanagement of an economy.

Same way we think "by the sweat of our brow shall we eat" is a curse and not a fact of life I suppose. We must love deceiving ourselves.

Fact is, not only do we the Nigerian masses bear the brunt of the mismanagement of our economy, we the masses are also responsible for causing the brunt in the first place, and are responsible for alleviating and fixing the issues that make us cause that brunt.

We are a democracy you see. Government by we the people for us the people who bear the brunt of our own mismanagement or the pleasures of the proper management of our economy and our country. So we better start educating ourselves to wisely elect those amongst us who lead us.

P.s. I have added the below so I can be stoned by those who disagree with me.

Dangote's major market is Nigeria. Once out of Nigeria, he has to compete with the rest of the world and that is where competitors will kill him. To sell in Nigeria, he must sell at a price competitive with NNPC and that will be at a big loss. Dangote can't compete without the support of the government. Sadly, government is also in a very difficult position right now. We need forex to defend the Naira and meet import and loan obligations and we also want to give Dangote enough to help him stabilize. There is no easy decision to make in all of these.
I do not see why Dangote's major market must be Nigeria especially since there is no way Nigeria can consume what that refinery can produce when at full capacity. It is the largest this side of the world after all.

All he has to do is produce cheaper than others. And yes, I know that's simply said but almost impossible considering government would not only not support but even throw obstacles in his way.

Seriously. I can't understand why he'd build such a huge refinery without first owning upstream to supply it. Its like Shell not owning crude supply for its daily 404,000 barrels capacity Pernis plant in Netherland, which is stupid if one asked me, and which makes me wonder if Dangote Refinery wouldn't become another Nigerian white elephant

“Where is NNPCL getting the crude to sell to Dangote and other refineries from? This goes to tell Nigerians why the local refineries have not worked for 35 years.
I have always found it amusing when Nigerians claim Nigeria is rich because we have oil. The above shows how poor our nation actually is.

Dangote should buy crude oil wherever he finds it. His refinery is after all large enough to sell outside Nigeria, so getting foreign exchange should not be a problem.

He also should sell in Nigeria at a profit. Sorry folks, but that does mean at likely twice or triple the current price. He after all did not build it as charity to feed anyone.

I did not call my dad for a week cos I felt there was no point calling when all I would ask is how is your health (maybe I was wrong)
You were wrong not to call. You should have called to show you cared as money is not everything.

You should also have called your siblings to discuss how you'd all raise the money to pay for his healing since you are not the only child and their care is not your sole responsibility. If he died today you wouldn't bury him alone.

Now, apart from that, I so have little regard for parents who did not invest in their children but expect those children to care for them in their old age. Its like planting cocoa you don't tend but expecting a bumper crop. The cocoa tree don't care if you blackmail it with "I planted you", but I guess its not so easy for a child to say to their parents, "you did not invest in me!"

Do not hide from your family how difficult life is for you, and do what you can.
