Premiumwriter: Why then do successful women not chase after the kind of men they want but would rather that such men fall into their laps?
Culture, unfortunately, makes most women not go after the man they want, though successful women do not wait for success to fall into their lap. If they did, they'd be lucky.
I have the feeling that when the incompetence and mismanagement of PDP is remembered, APC will stand a chance despite theirs.
Unfortunately, forgetting is more our thing, so it's who's is forgotten first, and PDP's might have been forgotten already I'm afraid, or APC's will be more remembered because it's rather fresh.
TenQ: Why is it that God seems to be able to do what man cannot do with respect to killing the body and mind? Jesus emphatically said that man CANNOT kill the Soul : at least you agree that men can destroy the mind.
Mat 10:28: "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
Sorry TenQ, but buda does not do God.
You should have recognised this by the fact that I do not bow down and worship imaginary souls.
Reports reaching IPOB intelligence unit has it that Hope Uzodinma made a controversial statement in one of the gatherings he attended couple of days back when he was asked about the activities of Ebubeagu in Imo state . He denied having the knowledge of Ebubeagu activities and boldly said ; there is nothing concerning him and Ebubeagu , he said anywhere you see Ebubeagu they should be killed in Imo state .
Out of anger Ebubeagu team went to Imo state police area command in Orlu to complain about the latest development by the Governor unfortunate it resulted in some confrontation that police killed two ebubeagu militia , while Ebubeagu killed one DPO and other six inspectors of police in Orlu POLICE command as am typing there is confrontation between Ebubeagu and Nigeria police Ebubeagu agụ which comprises of hired cultist contracted by asari dokubo .
Meanwhile, the Nigeria JTF have moved into Orsumoghu in Anambra state with their armed personal carrier and over 10 pick up -hilux shooting sporadically in the town since todays early morning . They enemies are trying our peoples patience but in the end Biafra must win.
snillocer: Pls am not trying to support the op. I'm only trying to figure things out cos I know there could be some loopholes somewhere – as there have always been.
Then stop being lazy and read the thread instead of repeating what's already been said in the thread by many and been dealt with!
snillocer: No, sir. I have gone through the thread and would still do that again. But so far, I am yet to see any solid evidence against the guy – Do you get? Not by judging by his past deeds. I don't know if am communicating.
Moreover, you know how fûcked up the system is, Many innocent folks have been jailed and it is still happening which this case might be part of.
"Fûcked up the system is, Many innocent folks have been jailed"?
You can't possibly have gone through the thread or you went through the thread with your eyes closed if your conclusion is "this case might be part of".
snillocer: Nah. I already did. But it still didn't convince me that Mr OP is guilty. He might have been framed – you know, or it could simply be racism in play. Or what do you think?
I guess you were not on the jury that found him guilty and we can't exactly go by your own ill-informed opinion when it's obvious the thread is too long for you to bother reading.
snillocer: Nah. I already did. But it still didn't convince me that Mr OP is guilty. He might have been framed – you know, or it could simply be racism in play. Or what do you think?
"You know there's an Igbo proverb that says; "aru gba afo oburu omenala." In English; "when an abomination is overlooked, it becomes a tradition.""
You would want to believe that they should have nothing to show for thuggery.
“You engaged in thuggery for many years but have nothing to show, with what we are giving you if you have good intention and the will to change, you’ll change for the better,” he said.
Kind of reminds me how women are enslaved even by those who do not intend it.
Thankfully, women are eating the fruit the men forbade, and are gaining wisdom and opening eyes and will soon free their sons from the ignorance of Adams who think women are their rib.
Favor99: That 1stgenAmerican woman is no good. She’s half Black American half Nigerian. She is just here trying to frustrate this Nigerian guy. What does she have to gain.
You amaze me in not recognising "this Nigerian guy" frustrated himself in two different countries, and what has to be gained is that he remain locked up so he can't frustrate in a third.
But then, I guess it's a long thread to bother reading. And some will support rape!
TenQ: And I therefore asked you this question which you have ignored.
Jesus said : Mat 10:28: "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
If the mind is just an extension of the brain, then, it can be killed by man.
How come Jesus said: men cannot kill the MIND soul. We can certainly completely destroy the brain.
What is your take on this?
The entire you, body and mind and soul etc, can be killed by man, TenQ. They killed Jesus, but see how fruits he sowed live on and produce fruit a thousandfold.
What Jesus is teaching you is be bold and not worry about your body or your mind or your soul, just like he didn't and died for you, which I personally see as bad advice, for each should bear their own cross and die for their own cause.
HardMirror: what benefits are the members gaining?
You should go out and ask them, Hard, then come educate us. Do like a 15 minute YouTube or something and reduce our ignorance.
Some benefit though, I'd say off my head top is being part of a group. When you see agbero you know you touch one you touch many, so security would be another benefit. Plus power. No one going for governor of Lagos would attempt it without NURTW on their side.
HardMirror: NURTW members pay dues in thousands of Naira per day eg KEKE riders pay N3,000 aprox per day that is nothing less than N720,000 a year if they work for just 5 days a week
BUT
During campaign they are ready to fight and kill under the command of their union leaders just because of N5,000 they will get.
Interesting characterisation, but untrue that, "just because of N5,000 they will get".
NURTW is a union of many people who have organised themselves into a formidable force for the benefit of its members, and if those members are not benefitting they will not be "ready to fight and kill under the command of their union leaders" unless your claim is they are brainless, to whit I'd say, brainless people can not possibly be moving millions of people around Nigeria everyday.
There is power in numbers, Hard, and the leaders must benefit its followers or they will not have followers. Also, one must not disregard the years of being in control and benefits provided by NURTW and other such orgs to their members.
Time to form Nairaland Members Association, is what I think. Membership fee of N100 but free for first 1,000 for thinking up the benefits and raison d'etre.
The National Union of Road Transport Workers is an independent Nigerian trade union that serves the interests of transport workers in the road transport sector, by calling for collective obtaining and pushing for social stability for all workers in the transport sector as defined in its constitution. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Union_of_Road_Transport_Workers
Some wise person should apply to manage their website and Twitter page better. Charge them like 10k a month, then go apply to manage other companies pages. 5 a month is 100k, though I'm certain it's not that simple.
TenQ: About the mind and soul, I told you that the mind is a subset of the soul. The mind is limited to reasoning and intellectual ability who h I consider as restrictive. Our soul includes our WILL, EMOTION and INTELLECT (mind).
That, reasoning and intellectual ability is what distinguishes buda from TenQ. I develop my mind while your soul develops you, it seems.
TenQ: My mind is a subset of my Soul. I think with my mind. I store and process data and information with my mind. Logic is processed by the mind. The summation of everything the mind does is our INTELLECT.
I have repeatedly told you that our SOUL consist of the Faculty of our WILL, EMOTION and INTELLECT.
How you refuse to comprehend this baffles me.
I do comprehend it, TenQ. You are saying that your mind is a subset of your soul, which consists of the Faculty of your WILL, EMOTION and INTELLECT.
Now, do you comprehend that my mind is where my own intellect resides, and my mind controls my WILL and EMOTION, and that what you call soul, has no part to play at all?
Let me rephrase: About The Body is a Slave to the Mind. Animals have a mind just as humans have their mind.
Is this a true statement or not?
What then rules the other in an animal: is it the animals body or the animals mind?
I answered your question. Instinct is what rules over the animal.
budaatum: Instinct, mostly. Which is why they poo anywhere and don't build houses.
Humans, on the other hand, grow their mind by developing their intellect so that they can "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”.
Read this or listen, to see the difference between instinct led animals and human mind use.
TenQ: My Soul (through my WILL, EMOTION and INTELLECT (mind)) rule my Body. I subject my Soul to the knowledge of God's words and God's will so that my Soul acquires WISDOM to rule my body. This make me direct my WILL, EMOTION and INTELLECT to rule my Body excellently
If not for this, I could be come a savage being
And that is you, subjecting your "Soul to the knowledge of God's words and God's will so that your Soul acquires WISDOM to rule your body", while I wilfully direct my own mind to the deliberate acquisition of knowledge from all sources so that I may understand and acquire Wisdom to rule my body and all by myself instead of leaving it to some soul of mine.
We do not have to be the same, TenQ. Your soul acquires Wisdom to rule you, while I learn with my mind to rule myself. It might explain why you are wiser than me.
TenQ: Let me rephrase: About The Body is a Slave to the Mind. Animals have a mind just as humans have their mind.
Is this a true statement or not?
I'll accept it as close to the truth that "Animals have a mind just as humans have their mind".
TenQ: What then rules the other in an animal: is it the animals body or the animals mind?
Instinct, mostly. Which is why they poo anywhere and don't build houses.
Humans, on the other hand, grow their mind by developing their intellect so that they can "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”.

TenQ: I can see that it is by CHOICE you refusing the idea of the soul of a man.
It is not by choice, TenQ, but by understanding.
Jesus is also written to have said, "in as much as you have done for your neighbours whom you see before you, some far away God you see not is pleased", so, it would be remiss and ignorant of me to concern myself with the soul of TenQ that I see not while ignoring the actual TenQ that I see before me. And if I am concerned about my own supposed soul, I would be forgetting how much more valuable I am than the birds in the sky and be worrying about the things of tomorrow so to say, when I in fact have enough of todays things to concern myself with.
Sorry for not regurgitating Bible. The appropriate verses can be found here.
TenQ: I can see that it is by CHOICE you refusing the idea of the soul of a man. It doesn't matter what even Jesus says: I guess we have become wiser than the Creator at this contemporary age.
I see we are back to the soul.
Did you not notice how often Jesus said, "it was written". Are you not aware that much has been written since Jesus time?
Where he is written to have said, "greater things will you do", it also means you will read more and know more that he did instead of just believing what you read in one book.
