Kobojunkie:
From the much i know and experienced growing up, Nigerians are generally bad parents --- most of them believe abusing children in one form or another is the way to discipline and mold children into better people - with most believing themselves to be entitled to their children's attention and lives even at that.

Worse, the society also tends to take the side of the abuser and almost never the side of the abused, something OP (who literally does not seem to know what truly happened) seems to be doing here with his fairy tale take on what went down.

I know a child who was abused by her mother. The mother reported her to her friends in church and they intervened and spoke to the child.

The child told them what the mother had been doing, which included telling the daughter she should have been aborted when she was conceived, and blaming her for the break up of her mother's marriage, though it was the mother herself who ran off with another man, amongst various other things over the years.

They still told the daughter to go and apologise to the mother. So she told them how unfair it was to tell her to continue turning the other cheek instead of telling the mother to stop slapping her!

They all shut up after that.

Are you saying if Obi was in power insecurity would have been nipped in the bud?

I am an Obidient, and I am from the same state as President Agbado.

I support this post!

guobe:
I didn't mention parents raping here as that is extreme.

Fact is, there are extremes. And claiming there are none or kids must not cut themselves off from their extreme parents, is disregarding extremes exist, which they clearly do.

No be bandits run this one. Na local boys way wan take advantage of the the current situation take cashout through kidnapping too. But they forget say South South no too big like North.

A cousin of of mine warned me not to come home sometime ago. He said the hunger on ground would make members of my own family kidnap me, and if I come home he will pay police to arrest me and get me deported.

I am from Osun State. There are no jihadists or herdsmen nor Fulani in my family.

guobe:
It does not warrant cutting off completely even to your younger ones.haba check am na

So parents can rape their children, but the children should not cut off completely?

Why?

mmsen:
You completely misunderstood what I wrote. I'm very much aware of hov abusive Nigerian parents are, especially the religious ones.

So. You have heard of parents abusing their own children even though on the outside they seem to have treated their child well?

Its not only Nigerian parents or religious people, note.

I was paralyzed in my left leg after an accident in my workplace. I made a diagnosis of radiculopathy and managed myself. Within 1 month i was walking normal. No prayers,no fasting etc. I was telling my wife the other day that if I was a theist ,i woulda been doing thanksgiving, testimonies, tithes etc. I just applied science and was fine

I too was paralysed from the waist down once. My legs stopped responding to my mind and would not move when told to.

Some wonderful doctors at King's Hospital performed miracles on me, and a crane in a building made my legs move.

I described the miracle here:

Ruke1991:
They carried the pregnancy for themselves so they can have children for themselves that will take care of them when they are old. Whatever they did, they did it for themselves

Yeah, only the woman had the child, and the father has no benefit whatsoever, according to you.

Lekby25:
You are a wicked person. A woman that carries the pregnancy of a child for nine months with pains, did not abort the child, fed him with her two breasts till he is able to crawl and walk, fed him till he becomes a teenager, now even for one reason or the other, if she is not able to continue, has she not done something?

I'm very certain you call me wicked because I have been wicked to you. For you wouldn't dare make such an assumption unless you've experienced my wickedness.

Below is a mother who "carries the pregnancy of a child for nine months with pains, did not abort the child, fed him with her two breasts till he is able to crawl and walk, fed him" and then killed him.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp84xed0g18o

I feel you'd claim her children should love their mother if they were still alive. But kindly confirm please.

joseph1832:
I'm sure Buda understands punctuations, no? before she went ahead and started making assumptions.

I think you should learn not to make assumptions that one is a Marxist just because one quotes Marx.

mmsen:
I wasn't in that man's home to know what his parents did or did not do but I have heard many a story over the years from those who appeared to have idyllic childhoods but in truth suffered abuse.

Are you claiming you have not heard of parents who abused their own child?

Well, let me attempt to correct that for you without claim its the case here.

SeriouslySense:
You are right. Maybe, they did not bond with their child very well.

The operative word being, "maybe", since we do not know.

toprealman:
Your dad and mum deserve to be taken care of regardless.

I disagree. Parent's, like everyone, reap what they sow.

Parent's who don't show love to their children should not expect love in return. And while our generation might excuse our parents' inadequacies and love them anyway, we must not expect our own children to love us unless we earn such love.

Porksupplyib:
Something terribly went wrong somewhere , and I can't foresee it being the fault of the parents in any way.

Well. I can only suggest you read my other posts in the thread to see that I see it can possibly be the fault of the parents or this kid. And not being able to interrogate either, I choose not to insist that how I see is how it is, since I've seen neither parent nor kid.

toprealman:
Some humans are just unfathomable. They assume traveling outside is a platinum achievement and the best thing to do is to cut ties. Time will always tell…

It can seem that way.

I myself recall my first few years abroad. I felt so much compassion for those I'd left behind and at one point found myself sending almost half my wages back home. Cutting ties is what saved me in the end, especially after travelling back home to find I was just an atm to some.

That said, half my November earnings go back home, as I have loads of old women in my family that I have compassion for. For though my father had my mother, his father had 13 wives, and many have children dear to me, as are many in my mother's family. Both my parents are from the same village too, so its like I'm related to everyone somehow.

Trash, straight to the dust bin

That's what is usually done when a lack of understanding is inadmissible.

joseph1832:
First off, never will you see me make a quote about what I don't like or from people I don't like or can't even stomach.

There is nowhere it says buda must do as joseph does, and you should mind creating others in your own image.

joseph1832:
Second, why quote a person you don't subscribe to his or her ideals or even their way of life?

One must surely subscribe to an ideal to quote it even if one does not "subscribe to the person" "or even their way of life".

joseph1832:
Third, Marley didn't quote Karl Marx, in that song, did he? So, Marley telling us to "Emancipate ourselves from mental slavery" etc is he telling us what exactly? And what do you understand by mental slavery?

I never said Bob Marley quoted Karl Marx! My claim is their words I quoted are similar in meaning, and I did ask "would you call him a Bobist" so you can assign his words to himself and in his own right

As for what he means, I'm suggesting Bob and Karl are saying the exact same thing. Take it or leave it as you will.

joseph1832:
Fourth, You my dear, can benefit more by telling me when was the last time you stepped into the bathtub, highly naked.

Sorry, but I do not do juvenile, and nor do I intend to benefit more than the content of your mind.

So, engage buda with your mind please or not at all, thank you.

LordReed:
Yeah, I would have thought he would know by now that doesn't work with me.

I'd have thought he would know by now that doesn't work at all. But I guess when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything must be nailed.

Ttalk:
This is thread of bad election losers.

Over 400 elective positions were vie for in 2023 but na only Tinubu go come do the work.

If your representative are just figure head why no collapse them and let know say na only Tinubu you go hold responsible, kids everywhere

My Obi lost the election because my tribesman Tinubu beat him fair and square. It pained me immensely because I did not want a continuation of APC, but no be only me gets to decide, is what democracy is.

I do not hold Tinubu responsible for everything because I refuse to be a kid!

Just thought you should know.

Please change America to Nigeria in the below.

And joseph1832, you may call me a Kennedy lover too if it pleases you, though I'm certain Kennedy was severely anti-Marxist, so you'd need to square a circle!

joseph1832:
Never figured you as a Marxist lover?

Oh mein gott! Another one who thinks posting a quotation or about a thing makes one a lover of the person quoted instead of what is quoted!

Bob sang "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds". Guess he's a Marxist lover too, in your opinion, or would you call him a Bobist, in his own right?

You, Sir, might benefit from this thread where reasoning like yours is being applied with similar assumptions made!

Reading and comprehension is just impossible for those blinded by their prejudices, so they think it must be impossible for all, sadly, or we'd take their word for anything without checking for ourselves.

LordReed:
You are the one deflecting. It's simple matter for you to say on what page of this thread you posted the evidence or link to the evidence of budaatum defending AMORC from attack but instead here you are behaving the exact way you are accusing me of. LoLz.

At this point all you have is accusations, lengthy posts will not deflect from the lack of evidence. I will not do your homework for you to go look for it for you.

Its not the first time he has made claims he can not support with evidence, my Lord, and just expects his word to be taken for it. And he is offended when it's not, hence this sort of payback thread from him, though I'd call it a shoot himself in the foot thread.

SpencerForbes:
It’s funny how they think they could figure out someone on a faceless forum just by their moniker. I’ve even been called a divul (don’t know what that means), immature teenager etc and all I can do is laugh. So I want to really know what’s going on in triplechoice mind and if it’s solely because he was called a liar….. That would be really comedic.

Our fallout started, I think, when he expected me to support things he thought I would because he assumed I was a member of an organisation that supports what he believes and therefore cannot be an atheist. He threatened to expose me then and has been trying ever since.

triplechoice:
Coming up with this now is not only disappointing but proof iof you trying manipulate me wiith the dark tactics the orgainsaruon I know you belong to has taught you. I know those who belong there from what they say and do.
Don't try it on me . You will certainly regret it I am familiar with these tactics. Going further will have me exposing you to the world.
Keep it to your self. I have warned you for the last time. Keep to your lane from now henceforth and let me keep to mine

Wasted my time I can now understand why deepsight left.

This very naughty buda refused to keep to buda's lane, and appears to be sufficiently powerful enough to ensure triple leaves his lane.

The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz was edited in 1616 in Strasbourg (annexed by France in 1681). It is the third of the original manifestos of the mysterious "Fraternity of the Rose Cross" (Rosicrucians).

NOTE: It was translated into English for the first time in 1690 by E. Foxcroft. This translation became the source for many of the modern attempts to improve the original. The translation presented here is that of E. Foxcroft.

Although the book first appeared in 1616, the story takes place over 150 years earlier. It is an allegoric romance (story) divided into Seven Days, or Seven Journeys, like Genesis, and tells us about the way Christian Rosenkreuz was invited to go to a wonderful castle full of miracles, in order to assist the Chymical Wedding of the king and the queen, that is, the husband and the bride. The story begins on an evening near Easter. In the final chapter—the seventh day—CRC is knighted; the year is 1459. It was on Easter-day 1459 that the Constitutions of the Freemasons of Strasburg was first signed in Regensburg, with a second signed shortly afterwards in Strasburg. The Gutenberg Bible began printing in Mainz, Germany in 1455, and the first Bible in German, the Mentel Bible, was printed in Strasburg in 1466. The invitation to the royal wedding includes the Monas Hieroglyphica associated with John Dee. (Summary by Wikipedia.org).

That man won't back down easily like Jonathan o
Wetin concern Coke man with democracy?

It is possible that "that man won't back down easily like Jonathan", but I'm very certain we Nigerians will make him come down if he loses the election.

We sure would make it impossible for him to stay up for long if we unite and kick him out.

Burob:
Who will they vote for?

Tinubu will not be the only contestant in 2027, so, if you don't like him, vote for one of the others.

SpencerForbes:
I’m still skeptical. The constant reference to AMORC is glaring and I don’t still get the point behind the thread. Till he answer my questions, I’ll keep watching how it’s gonna end.

If you’re a constant nairalander, you’ll be called so many names and sometimes it’s just funny. So I see no reason for the thread just because someone called him a liar.

You really couldn't imagine how many names I've been called and for how long, and how funny it really is that people who can't even figure out my gender would think they could describe my soul, or think I'd care what gnats call me, lol.

SpencerForbes:
Nah….. I ain’t gonna read any occult book till I’m sure this isn’t marketing gimmicks and you both aren’t playing mind games to recruit new members. But I’ll look it up later😊

buda is not asking you to read what you do not want to read, and you don't need to look up now or later what you don't want to.

Funny though that you'd think triple and I are "playing games to recruit new members", lol. Are you accusing Triplechoice of being a member of AMORC too, and working in cohorts with buda?

It is a thought I too would have, because this thread can certainly be said to be "marketing gimmicks" to promote something.

Bouncingbabyboy:
You ruined a beautiful masterpiece by saying "election" lmao Tinubu no fit lose that election

You saying the majority will vote for him?

SmartPolician:
Nigerian politicians don't step down - they die there. So, save yourself that stress. The best bet is to fight with everything in us during the election to make sure he doesn't return in 2027.

Or at least does not win if the majority do not want him to win.

HeatSeeker:
So you are a Rosicrucian?! Always thought you were of the same cloth as Otem Atum

Personally, I'd say OtemAtum's cloth is greater than buda's.

Am I a Rosicrucian? Join the thread of triplechoice and find out, I'd say, since he is proving one way or the other.

SpencerForbes:
I think it should be this post. Where you wrote ‘Nigeria contact details’

Ah, indeed. Thank you. Here is a link to the post.

Annoyingly, the links in that post do not work anymore, but I've corrected the link to the books mentioned when Triple kindly brought it to my attention.

Triplechoice has thankfully brought it to my attention that some of the links here no more work. Below is an updated link.
