You are very correct!

And by wisdom, fruit may not necessarily mean fruit in that context but it is symbolic. And it literal meaning is possibly a mystery to this day

Of course fruit does not literally mean fruit. Today we'd likely call it learning, since that's how we acquire knowledge. It's fruit will be wisdom, or at least we'd be learned.

Now imagine a God saying "you must not learn, for in the day that you learn you will surely die". Most of us will likely tell that God to go do one.

That God wouldn't stand a chance if we had already been eating every seed bearing fruit in the first place, as we'd have become far too knowledgeable to be demoted from "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth”, to be then put naked in a poxy tiny garden to tend it. We definitely deserve no more than garden tending if we refuse to eat fruits of knowledge

Fascinating book I daresay. Pity we tend to mostly be literal in our reading of it.

A simple yes or no would do. Let me help.

"Hahaha Ono, I am no lesbian. I am straight as a straight line can ever get" - chikena. How about that? Sometimes, Seun's bots really do work to block some useless comments.

What makes you think I need to tell you anything about me?

What even makes you think you are relevant?

Standing Up Suddenly: The risk is highest when you stand up to exit the bath, as gravity then causes more blood to pool in your legs, leading to a more significant drop in blood pressure.

I'll go for this one, as I did stand up to exit the bath.

I'm grateful for the info, and will mind it henceforth.

ono:
Na wa o! Does that mean buda is a lesbian? I see a pattern here.

You made no headway with buda and of course must console yourself instead of admitting your deficiencies.

How does having an affair and the lady setting herself on fire have to do with governance or anything.

It has a lot to do with electability as far as I am concerned. But thankfully, democracy allows you to make different choices on criteria that differ to mine. And I'm glad the repugnicants are making themselves appeal to you.

There are some 200 gods in Yorubaland and everyone has the liberty worship any of them. My Mom is from Ogun family, my Dad from the river goddess, Osun. Different form of worship in the same family.
Except for some overzealous islamists among us, we are Yoruba first before anything else. We don't really care who you worship, just don't force your views on us. We approach politics the same. A regular Yoruba person hates herd mentality: everyone having the same opinion on everything. We are not zombies.

When we people worship Osun we join them, when we worship Ogun we join, when we worship Obatala we join, when we worship Jesus we join, when we worship Sopona we join, when we worship Allah we join when we worship Owala we join them

We are Yoruba first! The gods come after us.


Alasheyori, I have not yet watched your video but will. This point raised in your writeup has been a wonder of mine for years. I myself have six cousins who grew up in one bedroom, 3 of which are hijab wearers and 3 are born again Redeemers. Their father is the Muslim, and my aunty was the Christian.

One might not so much notice it amongst Yorubas in cities, but we village people pride ourselves on not letting the gods divide us, and should teach it to other tribes.

You see, the things you won't see on Fox News. Khamenei is the actual person in the government who decreed a Fatwa against the building of a Nuclear Bomb. And the hierarchy fall in line and obey.

There's been calls over the decades by the hardliners in the Iranian government to remove the Fatwa and allow Iran build a Nuclear bomb as a measure of deterrence.....Khamenei always said no.

The US knows this. Trump has had numerous analytical briefings about this. The Israelis know this... The entire western governments know this. But they need the propaganda to further the Isreali project that has captured the entire west.

For what concerns stopping Nuclear Bombs, the US never needed military force. Funny as it may sound, the US already had an ally in Khamenei who stabilised things, prevented radical movements and specifically ordered a firm NO to building a nuclear bomb. .

Oman Foreign Minister, only yesterday on Face The Nation, declared that a deal had been reached that went further than the JCPOA deal. Only yesterday.

Today they are killing him. This just makes the hardliners correct over the decades..... That you can never negotiate in good faith with the US or Israeli. The only answer they understand is force. And so, like North Korea, a bomb must be built.

Now the only guy standing in the way of a bomb is dead, ....... what replaces him? The exact thing they all warned us against.

Guess what? They all knew this all along.

I did not believe the fatwa bit and had to go search, and found now Khamenei is dead Iran would likely replace him with a person who disharamarises Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Many things influence voters. As a voter how will an affair and suicide affect your own vote?

I am very certain I can find a much better person to vote for to represent me in government than a married man with 6 children who sends sexual text messages to a married staffer who sets herself on fire raum. I wouldn't vote for a grabber of the rear end of kittens much less him. Besides, he is repugnican.

How would it affect your own vote?

You explain how an affair relates to suicide.

No, I won't explain. Wait for the election to see if and how this particular affair influences voters.

Fayed and Diana are not relevant to this.

Stop copying and posting nonsense. Iran is too small and too weak to be able to close the strait of Hormuz.

Is it really, or did you not bother searching for fear of learning what is discovered?

If I wasn't a terrorist before you blew up my son-in-law and daughter-in-law, I very much likely will become a terrorist after you blow my son-in-law and daughter-in-law up.

raumdeuter:
How is the affair related to setting herself on fire?

Affair is no crime and setting herself on fire is an unfortunate incident or is there a link between the 2.

Al Fayed was having an affair with Diana
Diana got into an accident and died

What is the link

Let's wait and see if the electorate link setting herself on fire to his affair. It might make you realise not everyone reasons like you do.

raumdeuter:
What exactly did he do wrong? He had an affair? So what? An affair is not a crime unless there is something else attached

The person he affaired with set herself on fire, but let's wait see what the electorate think about him doing nothing wrong.

Iran Bombs Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait!

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Saturday said has launched missiles and drones towards Israel following the joint US and Israel strikes on the country.

It also launched strikes on the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait, targeting US forces there. The four gulf countries later announced the closure of their airspace. Meanwhile, AFP reported that loud explosions have been heard in the Saudi capital Riyadh.

Its DC showmanship for camera not much substance

And the America Peoples would never watch that show and reason like the person below has and act accordingly because?

US Army is woke.

FSBoperator:
There was a collision on the high seas between USS Truxtun , stealth litorial ship and a USN Supply ship,

The vessels were being lined so as to supply USS Truxtun with supplies but something went horribly wrong and the USS Truxtun slammed onto the broadside of the Merchant Supply vessel.

This is beyond a competency crisis but looking more like a mutiny to sabotage the combat vessel so as to return back to dock for repairs.

Remember, a similar incidence occurred involving the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier which is now heading back to dock over the collapse of its sewage system that was caused by sailors onboard stuffing T-shirts down the toilets to clog the sewage system.

It seems American sailors don't want to fight Israel's provoked and senseless wars anymore.

US Army is liberally woke.

Why are we suddenly producing half the gas we need?

“Available operational data indicates that thermal power plants collectively require an estimated 1,629.75 million standard cubic feet (MMSCF) of gas per day to operate at optimal capacity. However, as of February 23, 2026, actual gas supply to the stations stood at approximately 692.00 MMSCF, representing a significant shortfall in daily gas supply requirements.”

The wonderfully amazingly helpful magas.

The primary was upended as early voting began last week, when the San Antonio Express-News reported that Gonzales had an affair with an aide who later died after setting herself on fire. The story prompted a wave of other damning revelations about his relationship with the aide, Regina Santos-Aviles, and gave fresh momentum to his leading primary rival, Brandon Herrera, who already came close to unseating Gonzales in 2024.

The late push for Herrera comes as Gonzales continues to face damaging reports about his relationship with Santos-Aviles. The Tribune and other outlets reported that Gonzales asked her for sexually explicit pictures in late-night text messages.

Make Jesus a republican, likely the front runner, and they will say he is worse than Trump.

The above is very true, ben.

Apart from the extra baggage of obnoxiosity that dump carries with him, many of us just don't like Republican policies, and if Jesus front runs such policies that Jesus will not be our Jesus but will be our satan.

It's like we don't exactly suffer from TDS, but from MRDDS, maga republican deranged dump syndrome. And we are very delighted to see those republican magas do what it is they are currently doing to themselves, to be honest with you. They couldn't better help ensure they don't win an election again till after 2050!

In our view, a dump supporter must have a very warped understanding of Jesus and God, and even themselves in the scheme of things. Just that we know a light will bulb in minds one day.

@budaatum

Whoa! Did you lose consciousness? It's wonderful you came round again. I hope you didn't have a major head injury from the "about 2 minutes" of passing out. Some folks have fallen unconscious in the bath and had some head injuries after hitting a hard floor surface in the past.

I very must have lost consciousness, getting out a hot bath so quick. Must have fell in slow motion because head was very ok. Silly really, since I felt it coming like last time I passed out. But before I could do anything I found myself on my back staring at the ceiling.

I'm lucky I didn't end up with the laptop in the bath. And that reliance on luck for the continuance of my existence is why the word stup¹d applies to me. It's also why I'm making it known here on Nairaland so I can't lie that I wasn't stup¹d, again, since it's the stupidest thing I've done since I more stup¹dly swam in toxic water a decade ago.

Bath water temp is going down for sure. And I should consider going back to just reading a book and listening to music in fact, and swim more.

Your last paragraph cracked me up here...

Indeed, the new machine has to sit right on your desktop... (NO more aquatic locations for viewing YouTube videos). I once had one of my mobile phones fall into water in the bathroom years back. I learned some punishing lessons from that experience and I don't take my mobile devices near water ever again. ONLY the paranoid survive. That's a true maxim! Although we live in a world of vibrational energy (cause and effect), so, any thing bought new will deteriorate in time and space.

I've never used a "Pcspecialist" brand in my life. I might pick up one of that brand soon after seeing your post and watching online reviews of the brands you mentioned here.

I do indeed need to become a bit paranoid as I'm not paranoid at all. I'm not too reckless often, being a cautious risk calculater, but this one did creep up on me.

Now I look back, it's like when I put mobile down after a call once and roller bladed away. Hours later was I like, where is my phone!

That phone was a brick and not cheap in 1996. But I wanted an upgrade I couldn't justify, so I stup¹dly abandoned my phone on a bench in Hyde Park so I can go get a new one.

I like PcSpecialist because you can choose specs to suit need and purse, and the solid 3-year warranty. I've Return Merchandise Authorized (RMA) twice, and just the savings on labour made it worthy. The service itself was outstanding and felt like money back.

Annoying I'm lapsed on home content because I'm often careful and minimalised. Must look into now my new machine is on the way.

I was video calling a nephew in Lagos who asked if I was fasting. Said I was, and technically I was having gone to sleep at 5am and only just recently awoken.

He saw my new book by Nana Asma'u, and I told him who she was, but he didn't even know her father.

I'm saying because it would be remise of me not to.

budaatum d walker of d walkee

You no say.

That kid's mother sold bread. She'd carry him on her back hawking bread then when she gets home with bread she don't sell, she'd let her son at it so she can charge the father.

The father sold meat. He'd buy cow on credit and pay after market day. Except he had an inclination for tramadol and mariju, which often meant he couldn't pay for the cow so he resorted to swindling people. He had lots of wives and children too, and no he couldn't feed them well.

I used to take his 2.5 year old son off his wife every 5 day market and feed him ewedu and bitter leaf and fruits from my farm. She'd collect him next day most times but began leaving him longer, and he was getting stronger the six months, then his father killed my six cows and never paid for them, so I returned his son to him so it can't be said I held his son ransom.

His son's inability to walk and thin hair and bloated stomach and small bone density and eventual death 2 months after I returned him was all due to malnutrition and his parents stupidity, and felt like they'd killed my own child. 3 months later the father died too, so I'm now known as the person who made a little boy walk and kills the father who stole cows.

Predictor3:
The only thing that can make Nigeria work is for the north to be decoupled from the south. Ibo and Yorubas insult each other die, but intermarriage among the two is farrrrrrrrrr higher than intermarriage between either of the two and northerners.

Predictor3, my previous stands. Just replace Brendaniel with you and go read our conversation from the beginning and you'd be up to speed.

I was asked to unrealistically assume I was president buda of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, so telling me I am being unrealistic is like telling me my skin is brown.

And p.s. I don't want to marry anyone. I just teach people to use the brain in their head. The choice of learning however, is entirely yours. Or rather, their's.
