This is simple. Go to a Democratic and a Republican rally. Count the people waving Confederate flags. You know the flag of the people that wanted to keep slaves and was defeated. The Rally of the party with the most Confederate flags is the party of racists and the party with members who are aligned with those people that fought for slavery.

I doubt he understands what waving the Confederate flags and singing about being replaced means.

Jeremy Brown defense will prove that FBI planted two grenades on him and a CD containing classified info.
His crime was refusing to be an FBI informant for the Jan 6 fedsurrection, so they raided his house and planted the evidence. He got 8 years in jail, which made you delirious.

We constantly advise you to go and defend these people with your mules 2000 but you repeatedly refuse to present your kraken in a court of law and insist on presenting it to the jury here who constantly rule against you.

Christianity Etc › Re: Does God Exist? by budaatum: 7:51pm On Jan 18, 2024*

SIRTeee15:
If the bible say Jesus is the son of God and also God. That means the bible confirm jesus to be God. Simple.

I guess some are telling you that they don't accept the Bible, which was written by humans with an agenda, is true or confirms anything. Atheists will go further and tell you it does not even confirm a God exists not to talk of said god having a child.

Thankfully, it is written in the Bible that humans should not live by only one book but by every book the gods wrote, which helps reduce one's confirmation bias and ignorance.

Just imagine not reading anything about the ancient Egyptians from who the gods grew, and you might get a clue.

SIRTeee15:
For example all liberal bible scholars including academic Muslim scholars have admitted that if the gospel of John is true, then Jesus is definitely God.

Many have resolved that "if", and found it to be not as true as some claim. And it's not healthy to just believe whatever one reads in a book without investigating it's validity by oneself.

Was it a conspiracy when Datti was on Arisetv asking the CJN never to swear in the President?. pls, use your brain.

Did you hear the CJN saying "yes sir" to Datti, or was the CJN not part of this conspiracy to annul the election?

At best Datti had hope. If he could have organised to annul the election, he could equally have organised to win the election but failed.

Properties › Re: Why Do Homes Not Have Garages? by budaatum: 3:32pm On Jan 17, 2024

Too small plots for too many people, is the main reason I think, as larger more modern homes do have garages or at least space to park cars.

Cheap old cars might be another reason, as a 10 year old Corolla wouldn't suffer much in the open sun, while the few Bugatti owners do have garages I'd bet, and even servants to tend the Bugatti.

Another reason, and I'm sure there's loads more, could be the availability of cheap parking on the streets. If there were a hefty enough charge, garages might be more economical.

Education › Re: Lecturer: Certificates Will Make You A Miserable Job Seeker After Graduation by budaatum: 6:28pm On Jan 16, 2024

femi4:
How many graduates paid their way out. It seems you ve not be going for job test n interview where at least 100 graduates will make it to the last stage for job openings for 20 people.

Do you think they can continue to pass job tests if they didn't earn their results. It seems the Country's population is a joke to you.

Our population imports far more than it works to create and produce itself. We pay foreign nations to do the work we must then find money to pay for. An example is us buying foreign worked on indigenous crude oil to power the million foreign produced cars on our roads. Another is the various tokunbo electrical devices we all use. Tens of thousands have jobs in the countries that produce those things we just consume. Basically, we export jobs as opposed to create jobs.

As I said, "I agree that might be just a few". The point remains that our education system does not sufficiently emphasise job creation. If it did, fewer of those 100 graduates would be trying to fill 20 vacancies because some of them would be hiring from the 100 graduates themselves.

Here's a suggestion of what we might do to create more jobs.

You miss the point

The qualified labourers are more than the available jobs. In the 60s, companies n FG visited universities to employ intending graduates. Some got employment even before they graduate

Then, it used to be a matter of choice, even graduates with 3rd class.

Qualified labourers at what exactly? Do you seriously think graduates who pay others to write their dissertation are qualified to labour.

Okay, I agree that might be just a few, and agree that we do not have enough jobs. Or more accurately, we do not create enough work. We are so bad at creating work it in fact, that we send our crude oil abroad to be worked on by foreigners who sell their worked on product back to us at high prices. And we plant cocoa but buy expensive Swiss chocolate too. Bet if you look around you now there'd be lots of 'made abroad' (your phone, car, taps in your kitchen, teeshirts), and the made in Nigeria would be the more basic stuff. Damn! Many communities don't even bother doing the work of ensuring their surroundings are clean.

Work is value adding, but we don't seem too interested in adding much value, and would rather let foreigners add the value of their work and sell to us for profit.

Nigeria needs to abandon its 'manna from abroad' ideology, and adopt principals of the Swadeshi movement. And our education system needs revamping to promote such self reliance and job creation.

nigeriansamurai:
even if you get the certificate properly... Where you see the work.

You need the learning too, with which to see opportunities or create them where they don't exist. Work, after all, is just what you do to earn a living.

Basically, learning is the art of turning the sweat of thy brow into food in your belly. Unfortunately, this [learning] is not very much included in the education one receives in Nigeria I do admit. Self learning is an option though.

So those PhD holders bought certificate?? You seem to be very shallow... They are many first class graduates that are yet to land a meaningful job most times due to the course they studied in a non favorable naija market labour and lack of connect. Very seasoned graduates who don't have access to funds to start a business all bought certificate according to you. Slow ass mf

You are obviously one of the "many first class graduates that are yet to land a meaningful job".

Just see how you choose to communicate, then ask yourself if you are employable.

That's because this lecturer sells certificates without the accompanying learning that empowers students to use their brains and minds.

Moral of the story is, ensure you buy learning, and not just the certificate.

I got to know of Joshua when I visited a friend and found him in a meeting where they were discussing how to help a widow and her 4 kids. Her husband had recently died after being healed 3 times of hiv/aids and given away his houses leaving his wife and family homeless.

The group from the Catholic church they'd attended before the man went shopping for miracles at scoan with his houses were considering how to house his widow and kids and sue tbj to get the houses back but I think they gave up on that last part.

Good morning Budaatum.
This is from a Gender Queer ,

You lie so much that I'd check for myself if you told me the sky was not green, so please provide a link so I can verify for myself where it is from if you don't mind.

That said, there was a vote in a school in democratic America, the America that spends billions shooting it's form of democracy down the throats of any nation that would accept it's dollars or bullets, so they can hardly be blamed for practising what they preach.

Parents who don't like it and lost the vote can organise to win next election or enrol their children in other schools or homeschool, though I'd hope parents would have sufficiently educated their children not to just accept what they read in a book.

Which makes me think of your sort. Good morning basilico. Bible believer, that is. You believe what you read in a book, and think others believe what they read or watch like you do and therefore will practice it.

Below is one for you to consider. She did not think she was a boy, she thought she was dead.

I add the third image for you to consider the consequences of not giving children the tools to survive this harsh uncaring world.
