The federal government has threatened to block the SIM cards of people like me that can't afford the cost of transportation to any NIMC centre as often as necessary for the National ID card.
Can you imagine how such a decision will affect people like mehuh?? Why can't they establish enough NIMC centres for a process that has cost people a lot of moneyhuhhuhhuh
Yes I can see how such a decision will affect people like you. I also see how you allowed such a decision to be made. After all, if you had bothered to vote for a party or leader who would not have imposed such a decision on you you would not be suffering now, but instead you were irresponsible and did not vote and are now suffering because others are imposing on you. You'll need to forgive me Hell, but you deserve to be suffering.

HellVictorinho:
I can also see that there is no political party that can beat the APC/PDP because many of the rich people in Nigeria support the APC/PDP.
Budatuum should know that poor people that have no connection with the rich can't form a RELEVANT political party.
But you do not have to beat the APC/PDP! You can infiltrate them and infect them with your own ideology, or do you lack the capacity for such a thing, Hell? Please know that my own my faith in you is immense. Greater things than have been done will you someday do.

HellVictorinho:
The idea of voting for the bad instead of the worse doesn't mean you will survive.
I'm afraid my survival is irrelevant when talking about things that might be in the very far distant future. Some of us dream that the date will one day be 2121.

HellVictorinho:
So, I want Budatuum to state if he/she can form a new/better/acceptable political party.
If he/she can't do it,then he/she shouldn't speak against the condemnation of whatever government.
Sorry, Hell, but I think you will need to inform yourself on this. Democracy does not start with forming a party but with voting. And the entire raison d'etre for it is so your voice counts, the failure of which you are now finding is sending you to transport yourself to NIMC which you can not afford!

HellVictorinho:
Budatuum should know that the refusal to vote doesn't mean anything is lost.
The rich non-politicians are always there to support/vote for the rich politicians.
But something is lost, Hell! You lose the money you could have spent on something you enjoy by having to transport yourself to some faraway NIMC, which is a decision likely made by rich non-politicians, to your detriment!

May your suffering motivate you to change, Hell.

budaa grin I repeat you're far too optimistic and idealistic to believe that traditional democrats care to repeat the Stacy Abraham's template, yeah a few might, but generally asides the core liberals who know they are there to serve the people, most democrats who know they are there to serve corporate interests and big donors kill do what they've always been doing, concentrate on campaign finance and pay lip service to the popular talking points of the day! Embrace realism like you usually do and you will understand why I am right in this case. The few democrat gains are riding on the anti-trump, anti-republican tide, they are not winning on their own merit. Voting due to hate of an alternative is not the same as voting due to love of an option
You are going to have to forgive me, BraniacX, I do not think there is anything wrong in being optimistic so repeat as much as you desire please. You yourself point out "they are there to serve corporate interests and big donors", so why would you think those who are not there will not do Stacy Abrams to put themselves there? Do you think they are not greedy enough to do whatever will put them there so they can get more campaign finance?

People vote for various reasons, BraniacX. I invite you to a conversation of a non-voter.

I don't think life changed like that to be honest.

Naptu's description of life in the 70s and 80s is pretty consistent with my childhood experiences in the 90s, except my neighborhood wasn't as nice or diverse.
Naptu's description of life in the 70s and 80s is very not pretty consistent with the childhood of many. And no, nihili, I am not accusing you in any way of saying it was because, you didn't.

In the 70s I had to lug 3 buckets of water up to the third floor where we lived and when the transformer in front of the house blew up, which was just about every 6 months, we'd have no light for 3. The only electronics in the house till Festac 77 was the huge Blaupunkt ma insisted in bringing home from UK and the fridge. Imagine the bliss of world radios when we did have light. Thankfully, candles, lanterns and a torchlight when batteries could be afforded, were good for reading.

In the early 80s we moved to a ground floor but water moved like half a kilometre away and electric was like on a never never. Thankfully, the house behind ours was better pass we the neighbours and I just stuck my book out the window all night and read with the neighbours noisy light which worked for most books but not for studying Maths.

By the mid 80s, childhood? Telly? Not if you want chop you wouldn't, though like Naptu, midnight telly turned down low so as not to get caught, was fun when there was light. But after running along buses all day selling canned coke and eggs you might imagine how night was for sleep alone.

These books saved my life Ishi! I'd have been ignorant and dead otherwise. Some can be downloaded here

I don't accept the words of men... I think I have explained this to you severally. I have even mentioned on more than one occasion a major clue that Jesus Christ Himself gave all those paying attention.." man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. undecided
We are debating the understanding of "every word that comes out of the mouth of God".

For me, that includes what even you write, even when I do not agree with what you say. For it is the understanding that comes out of us 'God breathed into humans" that makes God Words. God did after all leave it to us to write what it is we read. No?

Jesus did not lie when he said those who live by bread alone will become malnourished.

Christianity Etc › Re: Is This Particular Biblical Passage Still Effective In 2021 by budaatum: 6:26pm On Jan 03, 2021
Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ did not come to tell us that was generally accepted. He described Himself as the very word that emanates out of the mouth of the Almighty God, Jehovah. Without Him, nothing, not even man(prophets and opinions of me as documented in your many books) could have existed. God is True... The word out of God's mouth is Truth. We should never mistake that to mean the Bible or even all of scripture combined.

The words of men, evil and not to evil, all of them liars by default, are also recorded in those scriptures read. Only the word of God sent us through His prophets or directly through Jesus Christ is Truth.

So every word, even the words of Paul, must be validated against the Word of God, the standard for Truth in scripture and beyond.
I accept this as your own understanding, though I wonder how all men can be liars but you'd accept the words of some men.

Some say "What is truth?" And is why we all present our understanding as the truth though we know in ourselves that we do not know it all.

I love the fact that the book ends with:

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.


Anyone who reads would know that the Bible itself began with one Word and will continue to evolve because it is as written that, "If all the trees on earth were pens and the ocean ˹were ink˺, refilled by seven other oceans, the Words of Allah would not be exhausted. Surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise",

So whom am I to remove Paul from that which came from God? Should one not try to understand it in its context to know what God might be teaching instead of deleting that which we might dislike because we do not fully understand?

Its a big book, junkie. [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205%3A18&version=NKJV]Assuredly[/url], I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

N.b. buda is a hypocrite for constantly deleting "believe" and replacing it with "understand".
buda learnt it from James.

Yes, indeed, buda is stubborn, and does not agree that stubborn is a bad trait to have since it can indicate perseverance, tenacity and dedication, and is superior to just being ignorant and rude.

When Christ is written to have said, "Seek", he meant 'stubbornly', and not some wishy washy look and give up like you seem to have done which is why you exhibit a lack of understanding. You are here though, where it will be stuck inside your eye so your mind sees whether you want to or not, because, as some say, Allah is Most Merciful and Infinitely Wise.

Did jesus know about the existence of bible?
Yes he did, though it was the Torah in his day and the rest had not been written. You'd know this just by reading him say "It is written". That was his teaching in fact, read!

In the beginning was the Word (as in that which is written in a book and read). And that Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Basically, accept Jesus (knowledge and Wisdom etc) by reading and you shall not die of ignorance. It was what the Prophet Mohammed learnt too, in case it matters to you to know. Thankfully, he evolved to writing, which we are here evolving further.

P.s. I know the above will make little sense to you but I delight in the fact that you at least do read.

The Word of God is Jesus Christ, not Paul or his letters.

The Word of God is the Truth of God...the words of men are lies unless they can be validated against the Word of God Himself.

Paul himself said this to you, "Let God be True, and man be a liar..".. Only test the words of men, even those men who walked with Jesus Christ Himself atainst the very teachings of Jesus Christ, the standard by which we are all called.

Just something to think on... Paul, like all the other disciples, is sleeping in his grave still, waiting for Jesus Christ to return and meet him with what he deserves. When Jesus Christ returns, He will never ask you if you obeyed the words of Paul to you... No, Jesus Christ will ask you if you obeyed His own teachinggs and none other.
Off Topic

Actually, the Word of God, as generally accepted by Christians at least, is the Holy Bible, which includes Jesus, Paul, Moses, Isaiah, Micah, etc, and not one single word can be taken as not so.

Jesus even said you should not read only one book or you shall become malnourised, after all, we all know there are not enough trees nor ink to fully write about God.

Hear Paul!

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

I await the day when those who will follow Christ read more God books so their eyes fully open.

Christianity Etc › Re: Islam Appears Fashionable by budaatum:
truthmans2012:
Islam seems to be very fashionable these days. Why? Because it is growing numerically. A muslim man at the age of 30 would have got three or four wives and many children.
I really don't understand why people with truth in their monikers tend to be liars. This op just needs to ask here to discover lots of Muslims without a single wife, not to talk of 3.

truthmans2012:
Places in the South West where muslims are very few about 30 years ago are being dominated by them today due to uncontrolled birth. Many of them don't count the cost of having many children. No wonder many of their children are uneducated. You find them in majority as carpenters, bricklayers, mechanics and other artisanship.
Like in my Osun State, right? Where it just so happens that both Islam and Christianity are increasing not because of birthrates but because of the decline of Ogun and Sango and Osun worship.

And see how wise they are being by not shouting to the heaven for their food but becoming "carpenters, bricklayers, mechanics and other artisanship", professions that they use to put manna on their table.

truthmans2012:
Islam appeals to carnal minds as you can commit any kinds of sin but just keep observing solat five times a day and you are good to go with Allah. Islam does not require any self-denial to please their god. This is the reason many find it convenient to practice it and it appears to them so fashionable.
I don't suppose you would admit to never having read the Muslim book or you might not be judging Islam by those Christ describes as Lord Lord teeth gnashers.

truthmans2012:
The Bible says that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination to God ( Luke 16:15). That means to say Islam falls in that category.
I'd put Christianity in that category too since it is men, humans, who hold Christ in high esteem.

truthmans2012:
Jesus said when I come back will I find faith? (Luke 18:8 ). As islam is not the faith Jesus expected to find, he will meet them plenty as Chritianity is dwindling as Jesus prophesied. But he was talking about the Christians who follow him.
As in, those who love their neighbours and their enemies even moreso. As in those who do not bear false witness and speak out of ignorance thinking it is wisdom.

May Christ absolve you and fill you with a new mind.

I think you are being impatient and Biden is much wiser than you give credit.

The beauty of democracy is that the people get to decide based on the information they have, and the Gop is providing quite a lot of data to chew on.

Biden smartly stands watching to see how deep the Gop dig their grave, the depth of which will be measured by the election in 2 years time if not in Georgia in a few days.

Biden, I hope, will never try to outtrump trump who defeats himself just by opening his mouth.
