We have different world-views; that, I have come to realise. You revel in the acquisition of knowledge - to any level your brain power can take you to, not minding the fact that even the best of human brains (I heard Albert Einstein’s brain is kept in a laboratory museum for study) have limitations - they can stop functioning after some years, even if the one with the brain wants to use the brain.

So, you therefore choose to not use your own brain because it will stop functioning after some years?

I have a parable for you but I really don't expect you to understand it in this context unless you use your brain. Thankfully, it's use is not exactly optional, as there's the slight issue of a spirit that will minister to you whether you heed it or not.

I permit you to change "hath" in the below to 'use', or simple read it as "hath a functioning brain" too. Your God will forgive you and punish me instead. Amen.

Only colonised Your choice of words speaks volume bro.. How can you work to free yourself from Fulani captivity if you have this kind of mind set?

Same way the rest of Nigeria freed itself from colonisers, in fact. And a war if that don't work.

UzorIyke:
For Nigeria abi to Terrorist hideout in Nigeria, are you a Terrorist? All lovers of Nigeria 🇳🇬 will be very happy if Trump drop bomb to Terrorist hideout in the country, but only Terrorists and their sympathisers will be sad, if that happens.

Problem is, dump is not intelligent enough to only drop bombs on terrorist hideouts.

Yet, budaatum thinks people won't be happy if trump drops bombs on the Islamic terorists causing this.

Budaatum, do you still have your conscience and sense of humanity intact?!

Indeed I will not be happy at all if dump drops bombs on anyone in Nigeria! Those bombs will not only fall on the terrorists heads, but on the heads of innocents too.

Or do you think terrorists are dumb enough to all congregate in one place waiting for dump's bombs to fall on their heads?

Perhaps go ask Libya.

Why do you still think that you've a normal country under APC? You are free to play Tinubu's game, vote in the next election and see how it goes.. We will continue the conversation when the time comes.... hopefully you will understand better all I've been trying to tell you by then....

Fact is, we have a country regardless. We can either improve what we have or continue working to destroy it.

I prefer improvement, as I do not find it intelligent to be destroying my country and then blame someone else for my own destruction. And that's apart grom the fact that I will suffer first from the destroying I participate in.

But all that is beside the point. Don't vote please. It guarantees politicians who will give you your referendum will never be in power to give it to you.

Ibime:
You should have met many Iranians in London so as not to make such a foolish comment

You only care about pages of newspapers not real paper. Have met dozens of Iranians in my lifetime and none who support Ayatollah. Surprised a Londoner will make such a foolish comment as the one you just have

I have met many Iraqians and Libyans who were jubilating when Iraq and Libya were bombed, and they all are not jubilating now their countries are worse off.

Besides, dump is already tacoing, and Iran is no different.

Kdon2:
The hausas people and land have been conquered. They are just bootlickers for fulanis

Actually, they are merely colonised. And it is our increased awareness fostered by these sort of threads, that will make us go and decolonise our brethrens.

benalvino3:
Africans will always look for who to blame. Never themselves

https://twitter.com/dijoni /status/2038865108479385867

I wouldn't assume that one African is speaking for all or even most Africans. And the only reason I would make such a claim is if I want to antagonise and cause conflict.

bemeruca:
Budaatum, deepsight, look at the common sense I was trying to share with you guys. At least Budaatum got some of it. As for deepsight, it's a opeless effort 😂😂

Now, I don't agree with every thing she says.

https://twitter.com/islemonjuice/s tatus/2038586582232334563

You don't agree with everything she says and neither do I. Especially the bit where she says Nigeria might have been better off it had stayed colonised longer.

Because that's like saying slaves would have been better off if they had remained slaves longer, and you know I'd rather die than live as anyone's slave.

mayor1814:
And u wanna tell me IRGC of Iran was not happy with Hamas when they slaughtered over 1000 innocent lives? And u think Israel will not respond to such an attack?

Happy does not mean sponsor!

You can not be chasing me off the land I have occupied for centuries and inherited from my great great .... great grandfather and be claiming innocence.

And of course Israel will respond to such an attack. They flattened Palestine.

ono:
I will be very very careful with what a google AI search throws up as "answers" on spirituality. budaatum should be smart enough to appreciate this. It is especially very dangerous for one who is pretty much subject to carnal desires and human flailing to dabble in spiritual things, exposing such an one to the manipulative schemes of demonic forces and Satan himself.

AI is presented to you as a start for your own research.

As for your "dangerous" bit, I am afraid you have insufficient knowledge, by your own admission, for your opinion on the subject to be seriously considered, though I am reluctant to assume you are claiming I have carnal desires. Do correct me if you are making that claim please.

Same as some fools will jubilate if dump bombs Nigeria!

mayor1814:
Budaatum, u cannot gaslight anyone here. Answer my question, who sponsored October 7 massacre in Israel?

Your question is an attempt to gaslight.

Hamas carried out October 7 in retaliation for Israel stealing Palestinian land. They don't need sponsorship but if they got any, then perhaps Israel shouldn't have done what made them seem to deserve it.

If I come and chase you off your land, sponsorship, if you get any, is not responsible for your retaliation!

Freeze007:
Ok would you be kind to do what you believe is right to do

Freeze, you need to do what will make you employable, and believe me when I say you have done its opposite where I am concerned.

I mean, just last week I hired someone frim here to go buy stuff for ma. They'd shown themselves capable and reliable, so they got paid very well.

mayor1814:
Go sleep... U have nothing tangible to contribute to this discourse...

No thank you. It is not sleep time where I am.

mayor1814:
If that not the problem, why did radical Islamic terrorists attack world trade centre in 9/11?; why attack London , Paris etc? Why attack Israel on October 7? So the people that died on those several occasions don't matter right?

Because u and ur family members are not affected doesn't mean others are not affected... Just keep enjoying your pizza or whatever in d comfort of ur home, boy... If nothing drastic is done, a time will come Europe will turn to a caliphate and u will only eat halal meat; no more freedom of speech, movements etc

So, you go and attack Iran but expect to now have peace?

Mayor1814, may your life be very long and healthy so you can see the fruits of this dump's endeavour in your lifetime.

Freeze007:
I honestly need a job it's been tough on my side, depending on what I deal on is not enough could you please recommend me if you have the capabilities

Freeze, there are lots of people out there who need jobs, and some think better than some.

It's after all your brain and mind that I'd be hiring so why would I recommend yours?

So u hate money. Iran hate money ba... U no get point ogbeni

I doubt there's any way we can educate you. Thankfully you are a minority here, so there is no point bothering.

KobolanderSegun:
Lack of Forum iq is strange. Go back and address the person who made the mistake.

Hey, some sympathy please.

You know he didn't mean you.

Vision101:
The man is tired and confused. He didn't expect what he got. He is saying go and continue the fight I am tired.

Someone sold him a new juju so we must all obey him!

Guestmale:
I have said it before that strait of Hormuz can't be the same again after this war,Iran should forget having monopolies authority on that strait of Hormuz because there is every possibility USA may station another military base there during and after this war.

Pretty much like USA stationed another military base in Afghanistan?

Remind me what happened to that please.

mayor1814:
UK and European liberals and leftists are the most mumu and most foolish sets of people. USA is trying to send a message that radical islamic terrorism must be crushed, u are all foolishly guarding and protecting rights of terrorists and terrorists sympathizers...


UK and France and Spain etc will learn the hard way...

We Europeans are telling you that radical islamic terrorism is not our main problem, and that is not what we want to spend our tax money fighting.

It isn't USA's major problem neither, but they must do something to deceive!

franchasng:
He is mocking all the European paper tigers and cowards like France, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy and co

Actually, he is making a complete idiot of himself, but I guess some admire idiocy.

citizenY:
Lets see his reaction .

We've already seen his reaction, lol.

He does not want us to vote in elections, but wants us to vote in a referendum we need to vote and win an election to get.

bemeruca:
When education isn't the foundation of our society, problems increase, especially with so many ethnic groups involved.

Conflicts can easily arise too. There are many layers to this issue.

Yes, education. I'm certain you are aware of my atheism, yet you've seen me defend Islam, and hopefully Christianity. The reason is my awareness of those religions attempting to give humans common foundations. And while one wouldn't call religion education today, the mass education we do have today did evolve from mosques and churches.

Today, we have schools and the internet. But schools, not having the same curricula everywhere, and the vast diversity of books and the internet, we are bound to have different ideologies and perspectives on things. Still, we must overcome our differences and have regard for one another. (I say "regard" because 'love' sounds yukky in the context of you and I, lol). This overcoming is what has allowed non-predominant Muslim London to elect a Muslim Mayor thrice. We do not let our differences be the reason we cut off our own noses.

One can add to the conflict, Ben, like I claim the likes of Tommy does. Or one can be the salt of the earth. The choice is entirely ones.

citizenY:
Honestly, l suggest you should stop responding to this fellow. There are proper structures for a referendum in place.. viz... a legislature, a political platform, elections by way of voting, a consittuency.

Whatever he wants, a referendum or even two seats for Nigeria at the Ùnited Nations, can be done through his elected representative. If such is not done, blame him and his representative.

This coubtry is for all of us. Anybody who feels he is running faster should carrybon. We go meet for road when you taya..... and pass you. In short desperados are not welcome.

Except that my responses are not only for this fellow, I'd have gladly taken your very wise advice.

It compels your like to further educate him, and that is worth more than gold.

Freeze007:
Buda are you a spirit, was a few minutes reading about you, can we have a chitchat?

This is like asking if I am a bot, lol.

Seun specifically created Nairaland so we can chitchat with one another, so please be welcome.

ono:
It is because of all these complexities that I resigned to the belief approach to life. You’re not being lazy to not want to “go deeper”, you’re only acknowledging the limitations imposed on you by the system you were born into and the fact that there’s an inherent corruption that was “injected” into it that you’d do well to steer clear of.

I am your exact opposite, ono. The complexities make me work harder and ask and knock and seek with all my heart and soul and mind and means and body and time. And it includes overcoming my limitations as much as I possibly can. For being perfect (not that I am close, mind), is how a very wise person once told me is how to glorify the Father, if I so desire to that is. And not trying is like offering one's god Cain's offering and being displeased that God prefers that of Abel.

I do not merely accept the system I am born into, ono. I study the system and other systems so I can choose what system I live in and by or how I may change the system to however I want it to be.

It might be because I do not accept the system of Adam, and would rather choose that of God's Image. And would do an Eve to get it if I must.

In the end, at the very least, we all agree that we didn’t just fall from the sky. A male gender and female gender did copulate to bring us into this world. Science is still trying to figure out how “life” is given and why they can’t prevent death from happening.

My lovely mummy and daddy copulated and produced buda.

And as is said, valar morghulis.

DeepSight:

Haven't really seen any embarrassment

That might be because you are not looking through his lens, and are looking through your own eyes and therefore see different.

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, is lens forming. Those not aware might think we all must see the same things, and we become displeased when others do not see how one sees. Such do not understand that we fly with what we consume, a la, we reason how we are conditioned to reason, and see through the lenses we place in front of our eyes. Essentially, different lenses, different perceptions. But some will claim their sight (opinion, view, ideology, gods etc) is the only valid one.

bemeruca:
Mere ideological difference is not conflict.

Conflict is disagreement + antagonism, especially where there is intent to harm, suppress, or act against the other party.

So, disagreement is normal, like you said, we can agree to disagree and still remain civil.

I totally agree! And with much civility.

Freeze007:
I would marry you but I need a job to be able to take responsibility

buda does not respond to pms. They can be emailed at gmail.
