Celebrities / Re: "There Is No Love In Marriage” Nigeria Popular Actor IK Ogbonna Declares by dhardline(m): 11:16pm On Jan 30, 2019
This is what happens when the person you marry finds it

difficult to accept corrections or just feels they always know it

all. So the only way you feel you can reach them is by posting it

on social media media so it doesn't seem you are talking to

them directly and hoping they read it.

There is a portion of the Bible I am struggling with myself to come to terms with -

Psalm 37:25
"I have been young, and now am old;yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread."

Clearly, I have seen instances..

Then you are yet to understand what it means to be a righteous man.

What an Empty Vessel. Of all your so called prophecies about

politicians you did not even tell any of them to repent and turn

from their evil ways but instead they should continue in their sin

while they pray for solutions to their problem. False prophet is

what you are.

2 Peter 2:17-19 KJV
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. [18] For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. [19] While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

A man can't remember he's the one running for the presidency,

can hardly make a coherent speech is weak and tired and yet

you hate your country so much as to put it 'not in his hands' but

in the hands of his handlers or as some call 'cabal'. There is

definitely something wrong with anyone who even considers

Voting Buhari. It's best you pick from the others.

Religion / Re: Why Do Young People Dance Like Maddog In Club & Parties But Act Cool In Church? by dhardline(m): 10:42am On Jan 13, 2019
The way people interpret scriptures these days is really

disturbing to say the least. Not even considering the fact that

the dance you bring into 'God's house's are dance steps

formulated by worldly men and women. So in your case instead

of the church influencing the world the world now influences the

church. No problem continue dancing.

Romans 12:1-2 KJV
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable a service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Take the marketing job. It will help you build your confidence,

network better and see more opportunities.

Don't let 17,700 from a class room make you loose out on what

is really out there. Know that nothing good can ever come out

of your comfort zone(class room) , leave that zone and be

patient and consistent and watch how things change in the long

term. The experience you'll get from marketing can help you

change jobs easily as virtually all organisations need marketers

and some of the leading C.E.O's of today were once marketers.

Make your enquiries on that.

No pain, no gain.

Politics / 3 World Leaders Who Had Body Doubles. by dhardline(m): 1:33pm On Dec 11, 2018
News has been awash all over the local and international media about the president of Nigeria Mohammed Buhari having a body double/clone and the revelations are quite compelling to say the least but since nobody within his inner circle has agreed to that effect in any degree it will still just remain an assumption till maybe more concrete proof emerges.

Till then, here are three (3) former world presidents who used body doubles.

1. i) Bernard Montgomery

Soldier M. E. Clifton James successfully impersonated General Bernard Montgomery ("Monty"wink for intelligence purposes during World War II.[5] In 1940, James acted in an Army production called When Knights Were Bold and his photograph appeared in an Army newspaper with a remark about how much he resembled General Montgomery.
As a result, he was approached by actor David Niven in May 1944. Niven, then a Colonel in the Army Kinematograph Section, told James he was wanted to impersonate "Monty", as this would allow Montgomery to be somewhere else, thus confusing the Germans.

James had to learn Montgomery's gestures, mannerisms, gait and voice and had to give up smoking.

Because James had lost his right-hand middle finger in the First World War, a realistic replacement was made.

Even his wife had to be deceived and was both kept in the dark and sent back to Leicester. Once he was trained, his trip as "Monty" was to Gibraltar and from there to Algiers. "Monty's" presence succeeded in confusing the Germans in regard to the invasion plans.

ii) Banwell was captured in a raid on Tobruk, but with a friend managed to steal a German vehicle and escape. During a subsequent raid on Crete he was taken prisoner at Heraklion and put under the personal supervision of former world heavyweight boxing champion Max Schmeling, who was serving in the German Army.

Banwell and a few of his comrades managed to slip away from their captors and then acquired an assault landing craft. With the help of some Cretan fishermen they made their getaway, but the craft ran out of fuel and drifted for nine days before reaching the North African coast. The privations of this voyage put Banwell in hospital for 12 weeks.

When he had recovered, someone noticed that he bore a resemblance to General Montgomery. It was decided that he participate in deception ploys, and so Banwell was sent to Cairo to meet Montgomery, given the appropriate clothing, insignia and General's badges and sent on trips around the Middle East to confuse enemy spies.

However, as he was considerably taller than Montgomery, he was told that on no account should he get out of the car. Banwell, finding the assignment boring, sought a return to the infantry


2. Saddam Hussein (1990s - 2003)

The late Iraqi dictator reportedly employed a roster of body doubles while ruling the Middle Eastern country, according to U.S. Millitary officials.

According to an expert, especially observant Iraqis could tell if they were dealing with the real Hussein by whether or not his bodyguard would ever joke around.

Talk of Hussein’s use of body doubles was so prolific, that when he was captured in 2003, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld had to address concerns that the U.S. had nabbed a decoy.

“Knowing that his doubles had used plastic surgery and could very well have done duplicate tattoos and bullet holes and various things [like] moles that would make it appear they were Saddam Hussein, the decision was made to have him publicly identified,” Rumsfeld explained in a Pentagon briefing.


3. Joseph Stalin
The leader of the U.S.S.R. was infamous for his mastery of propaganda, so perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that he employed body doubles. One double, known only as “Rashid,” was reportedly dismissed from the army because of his resemblance to Stalin. After he went home, a KGB agent came to recruit “Rashid,” and he would go on to sit-in for the dictator at meetings and banquets. He died in 1991 at age 93.

A little more is known about another of Stalin’s supposed doubles, Felix Dadaev.

As Dadaev tells it, he was injured during the Russian liberation of Grozny in 1942 and Soviet superiors faked his death. He was told that he needed to pass as Stalin — who at the time was nearly 40 years his senior. Had he not impressed the chief of the secret police or Stalin’s personal head of security, Dadaev says he probably would’ve been shot.


Felix Dadaev and Joseph Stalin.
