NOETHNICITY:
I've nothing to say to you

@ DeepSight
Thanks for inviting me to contribute to this discussion.
From the ECK perspective, the lower worlds including the Earth, were created to serve as Schools for the maturation of Souls.

As Souls were sent down to these schools, they were given a curriculum to master. The course of study includes mastering Evil 101 to evil 105 which we classify as passions of the mind. These include: Lust, Anger, Greed, undue Attachment to Material things and finally Vanity.
Soul is expected to replace these passions with the Virtues of the Holy Spirit which we know as the ECK.
these virtues are : Right Discrimination, Forgiveness, Contentment, Detachment and Humility.
once these virtues are fully entrenched in Soul, it develops Divine Love and becomes a clear and pure channel for God's Love in whatever plane of existence it resides. It rises above Evil and goes on to become a Spiritual Master in Its own Right.

LordReed:
I agree. We have to close our eyes to many of the horrors that take place around us to maintain our grasp on sanity. I remember how I was introduced to the stark reality of how brutal the natural world is while at the same time unleashing my own brutality on my environment but our managed perception of the world allowed me to separate my brutality and make me think I am special, not knowing I am a cog in the vast machinery of brutality.

NGpatriot:
This is getting boring, just stick to your original question. Yes, you should be able to wear whatever you want.

Yes.

What other kind of answer do you want? Do you want me to say no?

Going back and forth with you is really pointless, you just want to hear yourself rant and argue..

NOETHNICITY:
You people will die ontop hijab matter
Some of us from the south who are muslims are beginning to premeditated bias you people have for Islam.

NGpatriot:
Even if you are not a Christian, what are you and what kind of allowance do you want?

Stop being deceptive..

joyandfaith:
It is not about allowing hijab. It is about forcing all female officers to wear a form of head covering. Hijab can be allowed. But you don't impose head covering rule on all officers.

NGpatriot:
Do you want to wear your white Christian robe on duty as a policeman?

Yes, forward your request to the police service commission.

NGpatriot:
Pointless question..

NGpatriot:
Ok, do you want to wear your white Christian robe too? If yes, lobby the police commission for that allowance if it makes sense to you.

NGpatriot:
You got it all backward, such allowances are made in multi-faceted societies and the fact that Muslims and other religious groups are part of their societies necessitated such changes based on their constitutional allowances.

Our constitution also made constitutional allowances for such polices.

NGpatriot:
Ode oponu lawyer, he actually made the government's point and the need to be neutral.

doggedfighter:
Personally, I will say humans aren't monogamous.


I think it works for some people but most of us aren't suited for monogamy. Just look at the rates of sexual affairs amongst married people, paternity fraud etc.

Most of us just go into these monogamous relationships because it's what society approves of.

Open relationships, or just casual dating would actually suit most people but we would rather be hypocritical about it

Truth is, we are all polyamorous. The difference is just in to what degree, level and choices.

wirinet:
My bother I try yo see the forest for the trees. That's the approach I take to all issues. Just like the Ukraine conflict (where I have made enemies both offline and online), I try to look at the bigger picture. Just like in forex trading you have to do a historical (top down) analysis to understand the present.

I have explained time and time again that Nigeria is driving on auto pilot. The economy and every other thing follows the direction of the global wind. Ironically the only leaders that thought of a developmental agenda were Abacha with his vision 2020 and Obasanjo with his economic team. Even though the recommendations were never implemented, at least the plan was put on paper. This is the reason I get annoyed when people start campaigning and fighting for Tinubu, Atiku, et al. What is their developmental agenda for the country, what time frame and how?


Buhari is bad, I agree. Jonathan was also terrible. Ironically, personally my fortune was not changed by one regime or the other. I survive by looking for solutions instead of just complaining and being negative.
I get annoyed when all people do is complain, scream on media (both social and otherwise) and blame everyone and everybody, without proffering solutions. What we should be discussing is what we can do to improve the situation. How are we preparing for the worst case scenario to save ourselves and our families. We can scream as loud as we can and insult each other till thy kingdom come, Buhari and his family will be safe and in luxury. Tinubu, Atiku, Okorocha are all secure.

wirinet:
How could they have done it better given our dwindling crude revenue due to fluctuating prices and falling production levels?

To float or not to float (the naira). That is the question.

What suggestions do you proffer?

Thinktwicemybro:
You have some valid points but I disagree with you on the perannum inflation rate.
I bought bag of cement for 2,500 in 2012, 2014 and 2015. But in 2020 alone I bought it for 3000 to 4700. That's failure of government.
Truth is they promised heaven and Earth but have not done anything to improve the lives of citizens.

Thinktwicemybro:
I understand. But we have not had it this bad. I mean, no plans to even look inward and manufacture. No regard for education hence our graduates are not productive.

wirinet:
Inflation is a universal phenomen in an economy with increasing population but stagnated or reducing production.
Let's take nigeria for example. Our population rate is 2.5%. That means for an estimate of 200 million our population increases by 5 million every year (and I am not even compounding yet). In 5 years it would have increased by over 30 million.
Meanwhile the revenue to cater for these increasing population remains stagnant at best. So what do you think would happen to inflation?

A bag of cement at N2,500 under 12% inflation rate would be N4,400 after 5 years. Remember inflation rate is compounded.

wirinet:
Believe me the governments had been defending the naira in wrong way for decades and it will eventually come crashing down.

How does the Nigeria governments (and when I say governments I mean all previous governments from IBB) defend the naira. They defend the naira by CBN pumping more dollars into the market. Where do CBN get the dollars? From sales of crude oil. So what do you expect would happen if and when oil prices crash, we are unable to sell our oil or our reserves run out. (I shudder to think how we will survive if oil runs out or a WW3 break out and international shipping is suspended).

Nova1988:
The other conditions must be met too.

wirinet:
Having said that, it's disingenuous to suggest that Buhari is responsible for Nigeria's inflation rate. Nigeria,s inflation rate had hovered between 9% to 12% per annum for decades. And unless we start producing more goods for the same quantity of money in circulation, inflation will continue to accelerate. We need to simply reduced our over dependence on oil and our insane taste for imported goods and services.

Lukgaf:
DeepSight, come and see this

SIRTee15:
They foolishly gave up their nuclear weapons based on written agreement on worthless piece of paper.

plaetton:
Yours was badly thought out analogy, a very quack one.

If by your analogy, you divorced your wife, but she was still living in the next room besides yours, you would definitely not allow her to welcome a strange man carrying a machine gun into her room next to yours, talkless of that man being a rival who had threatened you many times before.

Lukgaf:
According to the counting of Sultan, today (Friday, March 4th, 2022) is equivalent to the first day of Shaaban. This implies it remains just 28 or 29 days before the glorious month of Ramadan.

It is recommended to fast a great deal in the month of Sha’ban.

Muslim (1156) narrated that Abu Salamah said: “I asked ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) about the fasting of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and she said: ‘He used to fast until we thought that he would always fast, then he would not fast until we thought that he would always not fast, but I never saw him fast in any month more than he fasted in Sha’ban. He used to fast all of Sha’ban, and he used to fast all of Sha’ban apart from a few days.’”

Please us take the opportunity of this month by fasting in it. We pray Allah make us witness Ramadan in good health and sound faith

Lukgaf:
Among the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon us is the fact that He has made our religion easy for us, and has not made it too difficult or unbearable. He has allowed us many things that were forbidden according to previously-revealed laws. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you…” [al-Baqarah 2:185]

Hence all kinds of food from the sea are permissible, whether they are plants or animals, alive or dead. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Lawful to you is (the pursuit of) water-game and its use for food – for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel…” [al-Maidah 5:96]. Ibn 'Abbas said: “ Sayduhu (lit. hunting, pursuit) refers to whatever is taken from it alive, and ta’amuhu (lit. its food) means whatever is taken dead.”

You are a MISCREANT of a kid..

Did I ever tell you I was advertising for anyone

Oh..I am supposed to be advertising for the Britons...and not even NIGERIA,ehh

Where did you see me say anything like "ROBUST",bloody twisted unintelligible machine

Ewu!!!

You are obviously a JUVENILE!..

BLISTERING MORONIC NITWIT!!!

You have been so used to the boondocks,you think you can mirror everyone with your circumstances..

wirinet:
You are a terrible advertisement for British education. You studied up to masters level and you still described Nigerian economy as robust at anytime within the last 40 years. This shows you have no idea of Economics 101.

I also studied up to masters level from a top Nigerian University and debating with you makes me proud of my Nigerian education.

Further more, people with British education are supposed to be better mannered and courteous. You sound like you got your British education in Ajegule. Maybe you obtained an online degree.

rinrin23:
Pain will come and go, some will stay
Joy will come and go, some will stay
People will come and go, some will stay.
Only the lessons you learn stay with you forever

Open your mind to everything: new, old, strange, extraordinary, foreign, familiar
But seek order, as you swim through the chaos.

See yourself in everyone you meet,
Yet remember
Every soul's journey is different.

Do not conform.
Think your own thoughts
Don't be afraid to sail uncharted waters.

Recognize that heaven and hell are within you, Guard your heart and actions accordingly.

Protect the purity of your soul,
Do not let this world and its illusions corrupt you

Most of all,
Never stop evolving.

Reference:
Exactly.
Suffering is mandatory.
It is good for the soul.
When you fast, a higher power takes note.
Not because He is not always there but because you need it to listen.
Horrendous suffering will ultimately break us to stark realities.
