Trump has a way of handling things. Even if he meets world war he would end it within days of his inception. Ukraine is the loser here.

Clearly you are smoking loud since you think Trump is the Prince of Peace and has the solution to all international conflicts.

WrriterNg:
Ukraine would be flattened before it even gets a chance to test any Nukes.

Russia have already sent warning that a Nuclear attack from Ukraine would be treated as an attack from the US/NATO.

Russian Nukes will fly to every US state if that happens.

If you think either the West or Russia will ever fires nukes at each other you are a joker. Any such move is mutually assured suicide.

So between fixing power and the Lagos Calabar Coastal road, which is a greater imperative?
Is N15 Trillion not circa $10 Billion?
This country is not serious.

The fact that there isnt a whimper from the NASS inspite of that contract being given out without appropriation in any budget says it all.
We are as useless as useless can be.

I dont know if its just me but the phrase "Department of Governement Efficiency" sounds extremely scary to me.

Who remembers Idi Amin's "Bureau of State Research?"

Atink dem say FIFA ban India for beating Nigeria 99 goals to 1.I'm still looking for the beer parlour that that man who invented this lie sat and drank his beer while inventing the lie.

I swear!

That story made the rounds when we were growing up no be small!

What about India, were they not banned after beating Nigeria 99 - 1 in a match involving the appearance of lions, simulatenous appearance of 100 balls and other such WiliWili stunts.

Butter loaf with unbleached flour.

So so good.

I don’t usually make bread so I’m happy this one turned out great even though I’m out of practice

Reminds me of my first girlfriend. Puppy love. The aroma of her bakery . . .
That looks very rich, good madam.

Kukutente23, our friend nairalanda1 must be in rapturous joy over this news. Pure ecstasies for him no doubt!

These manaical demons again. They simply will not rest. I wish them all speedy death, distraction from our matters, and calamity.

Diligence:
Reminds me of Audi Ogbe visit. Hope this is not a goodbye visit.

The SDP is likely to win!

ABC: Any party But apC

Do you mean the pounded yam visit with a letter of resignation for him to sign?

gidgiddy:
In the amalgamation document of 1914, which I have seen, the British stated that the Nigeria they were creating was only meant to last 100 years, and this expired in 2014

A referendum should have been held in 2014 to allow all ethnic groups the British bamboozled into their colonial project called "Nigeria", to determine their fate

Pls can you share a link to this document.

Discerning people can see Project 2025 writ large all over this.

According to some satanic arm chair ne'er do well economists on this board, this is a good thing for Nigeria.

They should keep breathing.

How does one style one's self "Pastor Dr Mrs"

If LP, PDP and NNPP do not come together in 2027, they will not deserve to beat the monster in the villa, and they will fail most certainly.

LordReed:
Right. So how can we distinguish for example a dream that involves a spirit and one that doesn't?

Hello Reed,

Now, I am going to make an exception in my usual approach. I usually try to communicate based on logic and with premises that build an argument. However this question you have asked, I sense is a sincere inquiry and not an argumentative one. And even if it happens to be argumentative, I have decided to approach it differently. So in this instance, I will make an exception and simply share my personal experiences with regard to your question. In doing so, I risk being seen as perhaps deluded or even psychotic but no matter, I am not one to be bothered what people think of me. So here goes.

In terms of dreams, a spiritual dream is recognized by its very nature - it often comes out of the blue and out of sync with the petty matters of everyday life. Our nature is such that as we sleep off, all the matters in our minds begin to play around in our subconscious and often crop up as dreams of this and that everyday matter. These dreams are run of the mill and are of the physical and mental realm only. Dreams which involve the spirit are often strikingly different. In my personal experience these elements tend to pop up:

1. The dream is strikingly real and feels like something that has happened in real life, not just like a dream

2. The dream often involves symbols, and very often other-worldly creatures and beings unknown to this world

3. The dream presents you with abnormal powers and capacities

4. The dream predicts the future with uncanny accuracy

Since I was a child I have had a steady flow of dreams which predict the future with staggering accuracy, and this has become a normal part of my life. It is way too consistent and way too accurate for me to ignore or deny it, so much so that I know that there is little that can happen around me which I do not see ahead in a dream. I have repeatedly told people around me exactly what will happen in their lives in a short while, or who will die suddenly, and unfailingly it comes to pass in staggering detail. This kind of thing enables me to know that these are not run off the mill dreams, which often just involve spatterings or memory and daily activities playing around in one's mind.

Let me move deeper. At a point, I began to have the ability to be lucid in my dreams. This is called lucid dreaming and it is a state where one is in a dream and one is aware that it is a dream. When I began to master the art, I would recognise that I am in a dream and then be able to take control of the dream and go to spiritual locations and observe events and places which one cannot access in the waking world.

This led me to gradually begin my first astral travels, because I realized that in that state, I could begin to float in what appears to be a world-ether and go to varying places and interact with other beings. I realized this was real when I began to go to places far away from my home and the next day, be able to recount to the people there exactly what transpired where they where, and who did what, etc - with accuracy. This has left people around me doumfounded and I know its something very real - it's not a trick of the mind.

Let me add that I am not special in this regard, almost everyone has these capacities, people just key into them at varying levels or not at all.

The spiritual is very real. However these things are beyond what can be argued or proven with normal logic and certainly not with science as we know it. Maybe a day will come when we will evolve to a level of science that addresses such things. Let me stop here.

Try and see the movie "Behind her eyes" on Netflix. It gives a very clear idea of the sort of thing I am talking about in terms of astral presence and astral travel.

cococandy:
Tell me what they do, I want to apply.

Ah, dont go there oh, you sound like a decent chic. Leave those ones alone oh.

PastorAIO:
Yeah, that was quite an era. Internet forums were a new thing then. But I nor go lie, it was sometimes a total waste of time a potentials. It was an addiction. If to say I exert the energy wey I spend for here to chase money instead I would be in a better place financially. But still it was fun...

If we put together the posts we did back then, we should have a veritable volume titled History, Theology and Philosophy: Selected Polemics.

Where are they all?

Mazaje, thehomer, viaro, nuclearboy, Huxley, Tudor, Banom, Krayola, Kay16, Enigma, Inesqor, KAG, Prizm, Toneyb, logicboy, Jesoul, Mnwankwo, Justcool, Martian, Pilgrim1 (alleged by some to be Viaro), Davidylan, Noetic16, even the Islamic renegade Abuzola.

Do you remember this thread:

God, I did so many threads "interviewing" posters here.

IjeBos:
Once in a while you got to push back.

I'm still in shock. It's like I woke up and realized for the first time, that there are 70 million people in the US that are comfortable with racism and white supremacy. It's going to forever change me.

Lol. I have always known this.
Sad to say most white folk are inwardly racist. Even many who will never show it openly.

IjeBos:
Imagine, the unmarried dude with 4 kids out of wedlock he doesn't even live with wrote this.
How's the baby momma doing?
At least you're finally admitting you don't think you have sense.

MAGA Cultists are not worth your energy bro, especially the self hating black ones who worship white supremacy.

PastorAIO its been ages. How bodi.
Those days were the days ooooh.

So many quality posters I miss, you being at the head of the pack.

PastorAIO:
DeepSight, how you dey? Long time. Na we be the veterans for here o. anyway....

The adjective 'physical' is derived from the noun 'physics' which comes to us from the greek word 'Phusis', which just means Nature. Or at least that is one of its meanings. Other meanings pertain to nature too.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/physic

Therefore when Aristotle writes on what he calls Meta-Physics, he is writing about the world beyond nature. (Φυσικὴ, phusike).

Thank you. I sha meant the words are related.

PastorAIO:
I recollect way back in the dayz you mentioned starting to study Ancient Greek. Did you keep it up? if you did then there is something I would like to share with you. He is called Ammon Hillman. Look him up.

I never started studying Greek at any point and certainly cant recall saying so. At best I have looked at the etymology of Greek terms in a concordance for better understanding of scipture.

Dtruthspeaker:
Clearly, they developed to deceive people and draw them to be anti Godism, since their earlier plans of arguing their anti.Godism did not work because God had already made the earth good.

So they moved around, invaded lands and taught people evilness and destroyed those lands and thereafter went back to develope their lands and make it "look good" while still destroying other lands like what IMF is doing to Nigeria.

So now everywhere that used to be good before is destroyed while the devils who caused the destruction are trying to make their own places look better.

Any reasonable person would ought to see this is clearly an ochestration and manipulation.

Meanwhile, God and prayer is a personal thing and He forewarned us that all.these shits were going to happen. And now they have happened, so all of you should leave God alone and go and save yourselves as you deem fit.

Your written English is terrible and you need to work on it.

LordReed:
Let us focus on spirits. You said spirits have been observed, I want to know by what means or methods.

By the aforestated means: dreams, visions, out-of-body experiences, astral travel and even sometimes directly through the spiritual faculties while awake and lucid.

omowolewa:
Elders talk, always golden.

But the truth is, every one would have friends, even Adolf Hitler and the young boy in NK

Kim has no friends, business partners, perhaps.

LordReed:
Observed by what method or means?

The spirituality of our existence and our inner nature has been observed by man throughout the ages in a mostly subjective manner through experiences of the paranormal, predictive dreams, visions, out-of-body experiences, astral travel, near-death-experiences and many other such experiences. The nature of these experiences do not lend themselves to the scientific method easily because science is a discipline of physical things.

Such subjective experiences are valid even if incommunicable and I have personally had several such experiences in my life (the bold above) which overwhelmingly validate the intantigble and spiritual nature of my being. You will also find that most people have.

Nevertheless, to be clear, I cannot prove any of this to you.
