Before we proceed further, we must come to make an effort at putting some flesh to the term "Living word of God" or just "Word of God".

If you want to make sense even in human terms, anything Living has one characteristic: It evolves.

Since God made everything, this characteristic is evident in all of its creation where nothing ever remains the same, and not the same thing is told everyone for ever and ever even as in the case of Moses, Adam, Jesus, Enoch, etc if we are to go with the two referenced/religions above.

So if an intelligent being we would call 'God' is to issue out a (living) word to a Moses today, they would definitely not go back to the the word issued 2,000 years ago. The message will cut through to present events and circumstances.

It will not be wildly unrelated and require the interesting Israelification that must occur for the message to be made relevant at all cost.

A living word/God will meet you in your identity because it made provisions for you or it knows and acknowledges you in the present tense/state, not an after-thought copy and patch kind of setting.

What are you driving at.
Speak, I bid you, I conjure you.

No case moved to discovery..Every case was thrown out of technicalities. Each and every. Which means whatever evidence he had was never argued out
How's that.
Over 60 cases all thrown out
In Georgia where Ruby Freeman and daughter Moss are on tape double countiy,the case was set to .. Two days after January 6 and was declared moot. I'll revisit where the mother daughter couple are today in a few months.

Courts have rules. Do you know the rules? Please just go and sit down. The truth is that so long as Trump doesn't win, you will complain.
This is why I cant take you and your ilk seriously. There simply is nothing that can be against Trump for you.

The very fact that ALL courts threw his claims out including Republican appointed judges, is enough to show you that he had absolutely no case.

For heavens sake his own Attorney General Bill Barr said there was no fraud.

Will you remember his recorded phone call asking the secretary of state in Georgia to rig him an extra eleven thousand votes? Nope. You will forget that one. Objective indeed.

But for you, when the man is in power, and he appoints those who are all his yes men, and the DOJ that is supposed to be independent starts repeating all his personal delusions, thats what is credible.


How is that a standard? ? ?

Pathetic.

I understand your point, and I honestly thought about taking legal action. But in our system here, these things usually involve money and long processes, and I currently do not have the resources to pursue it properly. For now, I’m focusing on my younger one’s recovery and wellbeing. I appreciate your concern though.

Brother at least report it. Make it such that that fellow at least knows it was reported.

Kalatium:
Children Are Not Automatic Blessings, Parenting Still Matters.

One dangerous mindset many Nigerians still carry is this belief that once children are born, everything will somehow work itself out.

As if children automatically become successful simply because they came into the world.

No.

Children are not crops you abandon and expect harvest from.

You cannot pour negligence, chaos, absence, bad habits, and irresponsibility into a child for 20 years and suddenly expect excellence to come out.

You will not always get your desired result.

Most times, you get your deserved result.

Years ago, Nigerian communities played a stronger role in raising children. Neighbours corrected children. Teachers were feared. Extended families intervened. Communities sometimes carried children whose parents failed them.

Today, society has changed.

The burden has shifted heavily back to the parents.

Modern life is more complex, more distracting, and more dangerous than before.

Now, if you are absent mentally and emotionally from your child’s life, society may not save them for you.

That is why parenting today requires intentionality.

You must be intentional about:
✔️ Education
✔️ Discipline
✔️ Values
✔️ Friendships
✔️ Internet exposure
✔️ Skills and talents
✔️ Emotional development
✔️ Career direction

Children do not raise themselves.

And God will not come down physically to monitor your child’s homework, friendships, online activities, or moral development for you.

Parents must do that work.

I remember a neighbour years ago in Enugu.

Every morning, this man’s routine was the same:
Wake up.
Sit at a nearby shop.
Drink heavily.
Smoke.
Argue loudly over football and meaningless topics from morning till evening.

Meanwhile, his daughters stayed at home for long periods without school during critical stages of their lives.

Yet deep down, he probably still expected those children to magically become successful adults.

But life rarely works that way.

Children absorb environments before they absorb advice.

Many parents underestimate this.

Your habits are raising your children too.

Your discipline.
Your irresponsibility.
Your addictions.
Your emotional instability.
Your priorities.

Children are watching everything.

Another uncomfortable truth many people avoid discussing is the effect of family structure.

A stable home with present, supportive, responsible parents often gives children a stronger emotional and psychological foundation than chaotic homes filled with instability, neglect, or absence.

That does not mean every child from a broken home will fail.

But pretending family structure has no effect at all is dishonest.

The environment a child grows up in shapes confidence, relationships, emotional regulation, and worldview.

This is why parenting is more than just feeding children.

A child can wear good clothes and still grow up emotionally abandoned.

Too many parents today are busy chasing survival and business opportunities while completely outsourcing parenting to schools, phones, social media, and strangers.

Then years later they ask:
“What went wrong?”

The painful truth is this:

If today’s society fully raises your children for you, there is a high chance you may not like the final outcome.

Because the internet has values.
The streets have values.
Peers have values.
Social media influencers have values.

If parents do not intentionally shape children, something else will.

And not everything shaping children today wants the best for them.

Children are blessings, yes.

But blessings still require cultivation, structure, sacrifice, correction, presence, and wisdom.

A seed is a blessing too.

But leave it unattended, and weeds will grow around it.

What do you think, Nairalanders?

Good write up.
For me, people dont question enough if and why they should have children at all.

basilico:
Trump is twice divorced. A judge can accept or reject reasons a divorce, so couples will write anything to sway the judge. It's usually about the money in most cases ,eg he raped me whole married.....

The cases about Trump only came up after he joined politics. The DOJ releases are FBI records where Jane Does ( I believe setup by Hillary and Co) made complaints that were entered into record, then leaked selectively .
Anything Cris Wray FBI and Merrick Garland DOJ released about Trump is to me highly suspect.

A very simple question you revise tl answer. What did Democrats see in the unredacted about Trump that they have not revealed.
I'm unlike you who just believes what known evil democrats and liberals push through.

Democrats have not seen any unredacted files, certainly not the full six million pages. period. Stop lying. I have told you this before.

And what do Trumps divorces have to do with this.

This man has lost a civil case for sexual assault and paid for it and yet you carry on. Go and sit down jaare.

Where does objectivity come in? I posted what DOJ and FBI blocked and had the media lie on their behalf.
The Bidens are documented perverts.
Who does that? Banging your late brother's wife while sharing live nudes with her own daughter.

Who showers with his daughter?

I am sure you know I have no issues condemning such things where true. What made me shake my head is the fact that we both know you would close your eyes to similar things about trump.

iyke484real:
Good evening fellow Nairalanders.

Something happened today that has really made me question myself as a man, and I sincerely need honest advice from mature minds here.

Earlier today, my younger one went to the field to play football. After some time, he came back home crying seriously with blood rushing from his head. According to him, he had an altercation with someone much bigger than him, and the person picked up a stick and hit him on the head.

Immediately, I became angry and asked him to take me to the field to identify the person that injured him. Deep down, I was expecting myself to react aggressively because I felt any normal man would naturally defend his younger one and confront the person strongly.

When we got there and I saw the guy, something happened to me. Instead of fighting or causing a serious scene, I just started asking questions about what happened. I couldn’t bring myself to react violently or aggressively the way many people probably would have. I eventually carried my younger one and went back home.

Since then, I have been feeling ashamed and disappointed in myself.

The painful part is that this is not the first time I have noticed this about myself. I always seem to avoid problems, confrontations, or situations that may escalate. Even when I am angry, I still start thinking about consequences, expenses, police issues, public embarrassment, injuries, and other complications that may arise if things get out of hand.

Because of this, I often withdraw instead of standing my ground fully.

Now I am beginning to feel like I am too timid and not confrontational enough as a man should be. Sometimes I feel weak, powerless, and unable to command respect the way other men do. I see some people react boldly in difficult situations while I keep overthinking consequences and avoiding escalation.

Honestly, it is affecting the way I see myself.

Please, I need sincere advice from experienced people here:

- How can someone stop being too timid or fearful?
- How do you become more confident and confrontational when necessary?
- How do you stand your ground as a man without always retreating?
- Is this kind of behavior weakness, or is there another way to look at it?
- What practical things can I start doing to become mentally stronger and more assertive?

I would genuinely appreciate honest advice, especially from men who may have struggled with similar issues before overcoming them.

Make a police case of this. Do not fail to do so. In future, don't back down especially in the face of a bloody assault on one you love. Even if you don't fight, make a legal case and make it strongly. Don't let them rest.

Trump went to all the courts and his case was thrown out all the way including by Republican appointed judges.

He is a sick man who can't take a loss. You have been tainted by his illness.

geoworldedu:
Well, to me it looks more realistic and the bible and Quran look like child's play to me. The Doctufos looks very very real to me and I don't know why.

Its fine if it looks real to you. No doubt the Abrahamic religions / scripture are very problematic anyways. There is alot of new age thought in what Otem puts out and there are other UFO related movements that have similar ideas.

While you relate with it for peace of mind, which I have nothing against, I will only caution you to remain grounded as taking it hook line and sinker might interfere with your realistic apprehension of the world, that is to say, your sanity.

geoworldedu:
. Seeing peace has become my reality and I think I like it that way instead of seeing hell, judgement and other things that make no sense at all. I'd rather stick to this because it gives me inner peace.

Well I am happy for you and your seeing peace. Best to keep it that way I suppose.
But for me, the Doctofus is way too fantastical. Reads like something he just conjured in his head.

geoworldedu:
Exactly. You got it.

If you had been reading and absorbing the Doctofus before your NDE, don't you think what was in your mind already influenced what you saw in your NDE?

Same as a Christian can see Jesus related things in his NDE and a Muslim can perhaps see notions in the Quoran in his NDE, perhaps even causing him to ejaculate.

geoworldedu:
Because I've experienced near death and I knew what I saw. And majorly I've been influenced by the writeups of Otem in the Book of Universal History which is the only thing that resonates with things I saw in my near death.

You mean Otemanudo and his Doctofus?

Kukutente23:
It gets worse
According to another hadith, the married women sentenced to hell for disobeying their husbands will still be taken to heaven to serve as sex slaves to the men there
These married women will be shared out to men who desire them to do with them as they wish. Imagine how dastardly that your friend's wife whom you've always had lustful desires for, you get to fulfill the lust in heaven all because she's in hell for disobeying your friend
Twisted!!

Where did you get this from. . .

Is it from an authoritative collection (such as Sahih Bukhari or Sahih Muslim) because I am not sure any contain a narration stating that women will be transferred from Hell to Heaven to serve as "sex slaves."
​
Maybe you are referring to Hoor al-Ayn (celestial beings in Paradise) who are said to be servants of the saved.

Beautiful summary. Nothing else to add.

God forbid we shit on the community that made it possible for us to get to the USA as immigrants. Black people did all that. They opened the doors for immigrants. Black people fought for post-war African American soldiers to get included in veteran’s rights and benefits. Africans benefitted as a side effect of this fight.

Because of them, African-American and by extension African military families have been able to get the rewards that they worked and sacrificed for. Things that were and would have continually been denied to us if we pretended racism didn’t exist.

Because of them, African Americans and African military families have bought and sold several homes without having to jump through the hell the average person does. Got degrees without loans because of their fight for African American inclusion in VA benefits. They did all that because they chose to not turn a blind eye and let racists exclude them .

I’m pretty sure if they were fighting for those things today, these trolls on this page would call them activists and liberal snowflakes like it’s a slur or something.I despise snotty and disingenuous people. And I know they know better: which makes it all the more evil and insidious. Like what’s the end goal?

Well said. So on point.

How can anyone read what you attached and still vomit the gibberish raumdeuter and benalvino3, bemeruca, Tctrills and TV01 still do?

This cat couldn't compete in Nigeria. So begged and jumped through hoops to migrate to the US.
Came to the US and I'm sure used programs that were set up and meant to benefit Black Americans to get ahead even though he didn't grow up in the environment that those programs were meant to help people from.
Probably bought a house with one of those programs.
May have went to school with one of those programs.

And now that he has a little success, he is trashing those people who fought and battled to set up those programs while defending the people who never wanted him here.

That's the utterly contemptuous part of all this

Bombshell bombshell

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/may/8/white-house-official-monica-crowley-promises-bombshell-2020-election/


Ambassador Monica Crowley, the U.S. government’s chief of protocol, said the administration will “soon” produce evidence that proves President Trump won the 2020 election.

Ms. Crowley, speaking Wednesday at an event hosted by Breitbart News, didn’t reveal more about the evidence but expressed confidence in what it would show.

“He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that,” she said.

That matches comments by other high officials, including FBI Director Kash Patel, who have talked about evidence of a conspiracy to subvert the 2020 vote, which made President Joseph R. Biden the victor over Mr. Trump’s vehement objections

I'll be following and updating this story


https://thefederalist.com/2026/05/11/fulton-county-fights-federal-subpoena-for-records-about-botched-2020-election/

Fulton county whose 600,000 ballots were seized by FBI got a new subpoena ...
It seeks names, positions/functions, residential addresses, email addresses, and personal telephone numbers for essentially the entire 2020 Fulton election workforce.

They are fighting against this new one , requested by a prosecutor outside of Georgia. Most likely a Florida prosecutor.

This is no laughing matter. It has been established that Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Strzok etc conjured up the Russia hoax ,then conspired to remove him via Mueller and sham impeachment 1.
Logically it follows, they took him out through the 2020 fraudulent elections after which they sought to silence,jail, bankrupt and murder him to cover up the original sin.
Media played a huge role in the scandal.

I'll have the last laugh.

LordReed:
I thought we had a discussion where I numerated some of what we would class as the characteristics of artificial life. Lemme see if I can find it.

Here -
https://www.nairaland.com/8532287/rambling-talk-deepsight

Budaatum was involved.

As an aside, I first tried to use Gemini to find this and here's what it said about us - I thought that interesting!

The debate you’re looking for likely occurred within a broader discussion on materialism, atheism, or the nature of the soul, which are frequent topics for LordReed (who typically holds a materialist/atheist perspective) and Deepsight (who often argues from a deist/spiritualist position) on Nairaland.

While a single thread titled "Can a machine be conscious?" may not be the primary landing spot, their most extensive interactions on this specific subject usually appear in these high-traffic threads:

1. "The Argument From Consciousness"
In many threads within the Religion or Science/Technology sections, Deepsight often challenges the materialist view by arguing that consciousness is non-material and therefore cannot be "assembled" via hardware. LordReed typically counters that consciousness is an emergent property of biological "wetware," implying that sufficiently complex artificial hardware could theoretically achieve the same.

2. "The Hard Problem Of Consciousness"
This is a recurring theme where the two users have traded long-form arguments. Deepsight often uses the "Chinese Room" type of logic to argue that a machine only simulates understanding, whereas LordReed focuses on the lack of evidence for any "extra-physical" component to the human mind.

The debates between Deepsight and LordReed on Nairaland represent one of the forum's most enduring intellectual rivalries, often serving as a "Clash of the Titans" between two distinct philosophical worldviews: Deism/Rationalism and Atheism/Materialism.
Here is a comparison of their debating styles, philosophical foundations, and the "intellectual signatures" they bring to the platform.
________________________________________
1. Philosophical Foundations

Worldview
Deepsight: Deist / Transcendentalist. Believes in a necessary "First Cause" or "Infinite Intelligence."
LordReed: Atheist / Materialist. Maintains that the physical universe is all there is, governed by natural laws.

Consciousness
Deepsight: Argues it is non-material and cannot be reduced to biological or mechanical parts.
LordReed: Argues it is an emergent property of biological processes (the "wetware" of the brain).

Logic Source
Deepsight: Relies heavily on Metaphysics and abstract reasoning (e.g., the Law of Cause and Effect).
LordReed: Relies on Empiricism and the Scientific Method; if it can't be measured, it’s speculative.
________________________________________
2. Debating Style and Rhetoric
Deepsight: The Classical Orator
• Tone: Highly formal, often poetic, and occasionally aggressive in a "high-brow" manner. He uses expansive vocabulary and long-form essays.
•
• Tactics: He prefers Socratic questioning and building "logical traps" based on definitions. He often accuses his opponents of "intellectual dishonesty" if they don't follow his deductive leaps.
•
• The "Vibe": Intellectualist and philosophical. He views the universe as a grand, purposeful design that can be understood through pure thought.

LordReed: The Pragmatic Skeptic
• Tone: Concise, dry, and clinical. He often uses short, "pithy" responses to dismantle complex arguments.

• Tactics: He focuses on the Burden of Proof. He rarely makes positive claims about the unknown, instead asking his opponent to provide verifiable evidence for theirs. He is famous for the "Where is the evidence?" pivot.

• The "Vibe": Grounded and skeptical. He views the universe as a series of observable phenomena that require no supernatural explanation.
________________________________________
3. Key Points of Friction

The "spark" in their debates usually occurs at these three junctions:

• The "Origin" Problem: Deepsight argues that "something cannot come from nothing," necessitating a Creator. LordReed typically counters that we simply "don't know" yet, and "I don't know" is a more honest answer than "God did it."
•
• The Nature of Intelligence: Deepsight views human intelligence as a "spark" of the divine or the infinite. LordReed views it as a survival adaptation—highly complex, but ultimately mechanical.
•
• Objective vs. Subjective Morality: Deepsight often looks for an objective moral anchor; LordReed argues that morality is a social construct evolved for tribal cohesion.
________________________________________
4. Summary of the Rivalry

In the Nairaland ecosystem, Deepsight acts as the "Philosopher-King," defending the idea that there is more to life than meets the eye through rigorous (though often abstract) logic. LordReed acts as the "Chief Inquisitor" of the religious and spiritual, using the razor of Occam’s Law to trim away any claims that aren't backed by data. While they rarely—if ever—reach a consensus, their debates are highly regarded for their civility (relative to the rest of the forum) and the depth of the subject matter.

LordReed:
I thought we had a discussion where I numerated some of what we would class as the characteristics of artificial life. Lemme see if I can find it.

Maybe in the mind and matter thread.

Ha!

Thus kwantri!

Xcxxxxxx

LordReed:
A life whose origins are not natural i.e. created life.

I still struggle. In what sense will it be living. Is it merely by self replication?

If that is the case would you say that a self replicating nanobot must be a living thing.

And to add
How many married women will be in paradise in Islam? What is the odd of a Muslim woman ending up in heaven or hell on account of being married?
Does marriage lead to paradise or hell for married women in Islam?
If they face domestic violence on earth because the husband accused them of being ungrateful, can they look forward to a life in paradise as comfort for their pains in earth or they are condemned to hell on account of their ungratefulness?

The question I will ask is if a married woman does get to Al Jannah, what is in store for her.

1. To be part of a retinue of virgins for men?

2. Will she have a retinue of male virgins?

Who will the married woman be with? Because the Hadith says that she will be with the last of her husbands.

If that husband is to have a retinue of virgins as his reward, how will she be happy in Al Jannah Firdaws.

You do not sound sure enough, it seems to me.

I lost my brand new Motorola in a maruwa once. I too checked my pocket and chased down the maruwa, but I must have not noticed another one pass and ended up getting the wrong one. I called it immediately and it rang a couple of times, and that was it, gone.

It pained me much as I just bought it for my trip home and lost it in less than a week! Ended up with a Blackberry Z30, which I loved, then a Blackberry Motion, which I loved even more, and have been OnePlus Nords since, which I like.

This cannot have been as painful as what happened to me some fifteen years ago. Was going to the beach with my fiance and friends and decided to splurge on Ermenegildo Zegna shades. Cost a pretty penny. Got to the beach, put them on a table, laughed and boom! The shades just purchased at dear cost to impress my finances friends disappeared!
