Potential Development? We do have the potential. Resources abound. Both human and natural.


Actual Development? It will never start. Let me make a simple story. Please read this simplified story below.

A country can be likened to a Family.

Story story? Once upon a time?

You have a large family compound (country) and your family has farms and large expanse of land with resources in it. Your family also has people in it. Other smaller family units. The old, young, teenagers, mothers, fathers, nieces, uncles, visitors.

Now just like your family, within that village (the world) there are also other families (other countries) who use the resources to send their kids to school and better their lives. They use the resources to upgrade their family compound and ensure people living there have good rooms, beds, etc. They encourage innovation and use knowledge to better their society within their family compound. They build good hospitals, good walk ways from one family house to another and from one section of the compound to another. They set the society straight such that there are consequences for any crime committed. Their society supports actions that will only better the majority of people in their family compound.

But You, what do you do? You use the resources owned by your family to enrich only yourself. In fact, you take proceeds from the resources meant to be used for the betterment of your family members to hide in the another family compound that isn’t yours. Some of the proceeds, you squander through drinking, enjoying, smoking, and womanizing. In fact you visit other family compounds to use their doctors and spending your money in their own compound. You and those that your family members appointed as heads/leaders do nothing for those who appointed you, and when they try to complain you twist rules, barely listen to them and even kill, jail or silence them. You as family head appointed some other family members to handle some aspects of administering the family activities. But like you, they also get power drunk and try to and even successfully steal the family resources. Worst thing is You now even go and borrow from other families and squander and borrow and squander. As a family you are supposed to employ teachers and pay them well to teach the kids. Instead you destroy the class rooms and send your own kids to another family and pay their own teachers to teach your kids, while your own teacher’s employed by you suffer. It gets so bad that now your family members’ dream is to also have an opportunity to loot and abuse the system and oppress other family members. They aim for nothing more than stolen wealth to oppress others. They want to take their chunk of the Family (National) Cake.

In fact it is so bad that the yam you farm from the family farm, instead of frying it and cooking it to eat, you allow your stove and pots and fire place rot, then you sell the yam to another family and buy back the fried yam and boiled yam from them. Every few years you lie to your family members that you want to do turn around maintenance of your cooking stove, pots, etc so you can fry the yams yourself, but you never do and they never work.



I can go on and on and on with this story.

NOW TELL ME, HOW CAN SUCH A FAMILY UNIT DEVELOP? NEVER! UNLESS THE HEAD OF THE UNIT AND THOSE HE HAS APPOINTED TO ADMINISTER THE FAMILY UNIT, ALL COLLECTIVELY AND INTENTIONALLY WORK TOWARDS A VIBRANT FAMILY.

MAJORITY OF OUR LEADERS INTENTIONALLY OR UNINTENTIONALLY SABOTAGE THE NIGERIAN FAMILY UNIT.

NOT UNTIL THE PEOPLE APPOINT GOOD LEADERS WHO IN TURN APPOINT GOOD ADMINISTRATORS FOR LAWS, POLICIES, EQUITY AND JUSTICE, THEY WILL NEVER DEVELOP. IT IS EITHER THE FAMILY PEOPLE REBEL AGAINST THE FAMILY HEAD OR THEY WAIT TILL NEXT MEETING TO APPOINT A NEW FAMILY HEAD, THEN THEY CHOOSE WISELY.

Those who should spearhead development and ensure consequences for anti development actions are busy with how they can loot. Governments are voted and people are appointed to administer public interactions and activities. Until a collective set of persons in the three arms of Government and three levels of Government agree to ensure justice, equity and conscious developmental efforts, Nigeria will not and never develop. The goal of the political class IS NOT TO DEVELOP THE COUNTRY. It is to see what they can loot.

Every action in Nigeria is taken more because it will make someone rich, than to serve the benefit of the people. How can every decision of a country be towards the enrichment of the leaders and administrators? There can be no development. Whether PDP o, APC o, Labour Party o… As long as those there are not interested in ensuring development and people aren’t held properly accountable, then development will be far from us.

The Salisbury Clock

Below is a picture of one of the oldest clocks in England located at the wells cathedral. There doesn't seem to be anything strange about it right?

Look closer

Look to the 4 O'Clock symbol. It shows IIII instead of the usual "IV."

It's only in early Roman history that the number Four was represented as IIII.

We are told this clock was built in 1325. Well clearly it was built in Roman times. So it's likely it was built in 325 not 1325, which would coincide with the Roman empire period.

Another clear case of 1000 years added to the timeline.

There are other calenders, we were talking about the ones in 1400s and he as clarified his comment.

SuperOnyi:




While I do understand that people are capable of doing anything to put themselves above others, just like we were made to believe being "black" meant you were inferior and at the same time, they keep telling us the origin of man is in Africa. But with the type of leaders we have in Africa, we might never find out the truth about our past.

It's indeed very painful, a large part of Africa soil has not gone through archaeology. There's a lot we don't know. What were "Sub Saharan" Africans doing during the time of the Romans?! Jumping from tree to tree?

Sadly, the world is learning from its past and moving forward while the monkeys and baboons in this part of the world are stuck in a gutter they made for themselves. We don't know shit about our past, the same fate awaits our descendants.

YoungBlackRico:
what other places apart from Islamic people and Islamic countries (Iran and Afghanistan to be precise) is in 1400s?

ChiefOloye:
They should remove "teria" and leave "buka" for us. I grow up to hear people called my mother "mamabuka" and my elder brother "Femibuka", because my mother had a local Restaurant in our town, in the 70s and early 80s where people could eat to their satisfaction, at a very affordable price.
Every Nigerian (especially Yoruba) knows what a buka is, which one is "bukateria" it's a new coinage that has no real meaning.

PCHC:
Still talking on:

[Daniel 2:46 FBV] — Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell down before Daniel and woshipped him, and ordered offerings of grain and incense to be made to him.

Daniel was still used to receiving worship from them. Infact, Daniel was called "Belteshazzar" which was a Babylonian name that meant Daniel was a god or something like that. Paul and Barnabas declined being called "Zeus" (Mercury) or Hermes (Jupiter) [Acts 14:11‭-‬18]. Did Daniel declined being called "Belteshazzar?"

If you want me to show from another man of God who restrained an authority or people from worshiping him as God, for great divinity displayed by the man of God, then here was Peter restraining Cornelius from worshiping him. As it is written,

[Acts 10:25-26] — "And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man."

It is part of the spirit of antichrist for a man of God to be receiving worship, titles or offerings, that implies he's no more a man but a god or divine (2 Thessalonians 2:4). No matter how much "Man of God" you are, remain a son of man for you are still mortal; and even if you are children of God, still maintain being children of man even as Peter told Cornelius he's just a man.

[Ezekiel 28:9 ICB] — While they are killing you, you will not be able to say anymore, “I am a god.” You will be only a man, not a god, when your murderers kill you.

[Psalms 82:6-7] — "I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes."

Daniel was a man of excellent spirit and character: He refused to defile himself with the king's food and the wine the king drank, but he did not refuse the king's worship, oblation sacrifice and name after a Babylonian god. Though this was not a big deal in their days before the advent of Christ Jesus, especially considering that God even made Moses a god to Pharaoh and Aaron his prophet. In our days, no man of God should accept it.

Hopefully someone leans from my story. I don't regret any of my decisions so far. I'm happy that in all, I wasn't consumed, used to a point of no return in fact if you see me, you'll hardly believe I'm 42. apart from say I get small protruding stomach ( which almost everyone has) and it's only when I eat. Otherwise its normal. So it's caused by food and I overeat.

I also don't regret not having children outside wedlock cos it would have reduced my chances of getting attention from men even at my age. Yes.. I still get attention like serious advances from single men. This is not to make a boast. In this year alone, I've had two suitors. Very responsible guy and another man but the thing with me is that I'm too picky. if I don't like you first, e go hard. So those two were not my spec and I won't trap myself in a loveless marriage just because of age or "time is going " , if it's not what I want, I won't do it. Call me anything you like, your opinion. I don't kia!

No woman is innocent no matter how innocent she looks. Inshot the more innocent she looks, the more dangerous she is inside.

If you no fear women , na Oyo be your name.

The Bible, Qu'ran, Torah and Vedas rooted in Quantum Science.


For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he


Does a heart think? Brains think and hearts feel. Brains produces thoughts and when channeled through the heart feeling gets added which changes you then you manifest your desire through this process.

Sounds very quantum to me.

If you think a photon is a particle it acts like a wave. If you think it is a wave it acts like a particle. Thought focused upon anything affects form. Jesus thought the water was wine and it became so.
