Imagine caring about an easily disproven hashtag.

The fact that leftists see this as some sort of "gotcha" to supporters of free speech just exposes how fragile they are.
It's not seen as a "gotcha" except by you.

If anything, it's the same as those posting the N-word to test how far they can push what they see as Musk's absurd level of freespeech.

I do wonder too. Perhaps the nanny drowned the child, though read the preceding post of mine.

Parachoko:
Do you have an idea what a Nanny mean?
I very much believe I do. And are you aware that simple first aid is a requirement for the job? And if you have a swimming pool in your house, you'd better include swimming lessons for your nanny too, especially if you have started teaching your child to swim?

This parent was irresponsible, and is trying to blame others. And you'd hopefully be more responsible for your child in your house with your swimming pool, because even if they chop the nanny and the chef into tiny little bits, it wouldn't bring their dead child back to life.

Too many jobs and not enough workers, is a funny problem for a nation to have. What's funnier is when the solution is a reduction in jobs by causing a 'recession'.

Freeze007:
In this part of world, we must have been led astray by a book, we do not ask questions, we have a bible message which has not done any good...
You are not led astray by a book! What leads you astray is your misunderstanding of the book and those who 0reach it to you.

Those who brought it to you too were led astray by their misunderstanding for about 1500 years, until they opened their eyes and read the book and began asking question. And only a fool would not agree that they eventually ruled over and subdued and dominated. They ruled large parts of Africa after all, and they have constant light. And their language is spoken on most of the earth.

Freeze007:
After 2000 years by now, if that story portrays peace I think we should seen actual peace on Earth...It is not possible to give what you don't have, the story of the bible is not capable of allowing PEACE, LOVE, UNITY but only ONE who is an embodiment of these attributes...
But the stories in the Bible do teach peace and love and unity, if understood. And enlightenment too.

Freeze007:
I like what you said, God lied or the bible account was not true, is God a liar? Never, I am 100% sure bible account is not the actual truth of Our God and Our Lord Jesus Christ....So when one lacks real fact about a story then result will not be achieved.
Gods can not lie. And the Bible account is very true. What's not true and is a lie is current understanding, and its actually when one lacks understanding and just believes, that one fails to see the truth the Bible teaches. Unfortunately, most believe what those Christ said "woe" to preach, without realising they give serpents instead of the bread of life.

Let me assure you that the Bible, with all its contradictions and falsehoods, is the "actual truth of Our God and Our Lord Jesus Christ". You just need to have your eyes opened so that you may see it for yourself.

Below is an exercise for you.

Freeze007:
Now, to the main topic, what if that was and has still been the original intention of the sowers of discord, they have reached a knowledge of Good and Evil, so they allow their evil to beclad their good for selfish reasons, or to be direct to be able to oppress those who have the wrong message about God....
The original intention of the book is to empower you. But those who preach it to you have not reached a knowledge of Good and Evil, and do not understand. And that is why you are sent the Holy Ghost, so you may look and see for yourself instead of believing your preachers.

It's not that those who preach discord do it on purpose. They are just blind, and many follow them. And when you understand, you will learn to forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Freeze007:
Let me state here Nigeria Government ...
They are like the ignorant preachers I mention above. One must learn to govern oneself instead of be governed by others.

Freeze007:
It is not possible for God to tempt man ....
This, incidentally, was my very first question of the Bible when I read it at 9 years old.

"Dad", I said, "why would a God be playing kalokalo with the life of Job". Dad said I should seek the answer for myself, and my task for the next 20 or so years was set.

Freeze007:
So, why all this, it is time to start asking questions, in the past, I was lied to, that if you try to know God you will go insane that mind started to work on me,
You might indeed go insane when you realise the extent to which you allowed yourself to be lied to and deceived, but the truth shall eventually set you free.

At Buddatum,Sir, Salute you, but I give allegiance to my Leader,
Do know that if you transfer your allegiance to buda, you will just be exchanging one master for another while you remain a slave.

Instead, you should transfer your allegiance to yourself so you may be your own master. For only after you master yourself may more (rule over the earth and dominate and subdue it), be demanded of you.

Accordingly
Ogbo : is given by the ifa priests(Orunmila) to their children but given to other princes too
Ogbo was given to Orangun
Agada : is given solely by the house of oduduwa to princes. And was also given to some princes of House of Eredumi through the house of Oduduwa.
osilo was given to Elesun
Ewi has Agada
Oba Ilẹ̀ Binu has Agada
Ida was to Ọlọyọ́ by the House of Odua
And Obalesun gave his children Orere and Oberin
Onido Ompetu has Ida Oje
Ofa has Oje and for his children
Gbagura Ido of Agura line Is with Asoro Oje Opa Oje and the Osilo Oje
I can't deduce from this which sword the Olufon carries. My lack of being informed, no doubt.

and I definitely cannot stand the thought of being infected with a disease.
It was stupid of me I know,
I don't think you've been reading posts on NL as you claim. Are you sure it's not the pictures of sex you've been looking at instead? There's lots of them for a young unfocused mind like your's to be swayed by after all.

At least you know it's stupid of you, and that's perhaps a start. There's lots of older people than you constantly begging for money on NL just because they were stupid like you, and instead of focusing on their future by educating their mind they spent it educating their diqs.

Just you know that you reap what you sow, and you should be good.

kkins25:
I was just having an argument about purchasing power parity,PPP, with a colleague of mine who spent just a few days in Ghana and has concluded that the naira has a greater PP than the cedi. I've not spent much time to understand the concept since this could be true in some regards and also bearing in mind that there is also Relative PP. I've watched a few vids from YouTube but haven't been able to know how to measure PP between the two countries. I recall the formular for PP in terms of spot rate and relative PPP. Is the Big mac index analogy or theorem valid for all commodities? If the cost of Big Mac is lower in Nigeria, does that then mean Nigerian Naira has a higher purchasing power?
Purchasing power is not exactly an easy concept, and purchasing power parity even more so, but the clue is somewhat in the name.

Imagine you were paid in a common currency called Big Mac (BM) wherever you worked. And say, in one country rent is 5BMs and in another it's 10BMS. We would say your purchasing power of a roof over your head in the 5BMs country is higher because you can buy twice as much. But now imagine you are paid twice as much in the country where rent is 10BMs than in the country where rent is 5. Can you see how your purchasing power is now equal since you can both spend an equal portion of your earnings on rent.

This is of course a very simplified analogy, which is why the more complex purchasing power parity is used instead.

There are many things that may make Big Mac's themself cheaper in one country than another. Cheaper inputs for instance would make Big Mac's cheaper. Its currently £3.19 in UK, which at say ₦750 to the dollar is, well, you work it out, which is probably why there's no McDonald's in Nigeria (as far as I know), where wages are very low. McDonald's relys on high sales, which Nigeria can not exactly support since one can spend a lot less getting full up at Mama put than what a Big Mac might costs.

See the The Big Mac index. It's a form of PPP index. In fact, African countries with McDonald's are those with high tourist visits.

My mum does not have a claim to my life! It's my life, so if anyone owns it it's me. I can't after all go to my mum and claim she is responsible for feeding me without her telling me where to go.

It's about responsibility, and you may indeed differ to me. You may not be responsible for your own life, but I am most definitely responsible for mine and for whatever I make of it. I'm powerful in that way, I guess, instead of powerless like some.
