omale88: samson was a fornicator yet he is celebrated,tamer didnt caution amnon because he wanted to fornicate with her she cautioned him on rape attempt. the reason why she talked about marriage was because he fancied her and marrying her would give him total access to her.
These are conjectures coming from you, due to poor understanding of the scripture.
Csami: Greed, one of the seven deadly sins. My dad bought Samsung tall boy home theater 290k as far back as 2008. My roommate bought our LG home theater, the lowest of them 35k as far back as 2013. Because IPhone 7 is fairly used does not mean you go and price it 10k. Yes, you're negotiating but man, be smart about it. Next time if someone want to sell something to you at half the market value, just turn detective immediately.
What's the difference in logic if the seller put the price 10 times it's real worth.
mabeni: i went to Alaba international market to buy a set of Tokunbo Home Theatre. Luckily/ unfortunately for me i asked around and i was directed to a shop where i would find my choice. I got to the shop and i specifically told them I want a SAMSUNG Home Theater and the search began. They tested 3 diferrent sets but the last one got my attention and I asked for the price.
The seller (shop owner) told me it was 55k and i negotiated it to 25k and he asked me pay. I requested for his account details but he declined saying he doesn't take transfers. I quickly went to use POS, came back and asked for the SAMSUNG SETS i had priced be tested to avoid foul play. It was tested and i confirmed it. I paid, receipt was issued to me but without going through my receipt, I wrote my name and signed because i never suspected scam.
Now, it was time for me to leave with my purchases and the boy boy told me "the engine/DVD to the home theater i bought does not support or work with electricity but strictly works for only generator ". I asked him to repeat himself and he did. The statement didn't make sense to me. He then suggested he could swap the engine/DVD of the SAMSUNG Home Theater i bought for another one that uses electricity. I sensed foul play and asked him why he didn't tell me these before making payment.
Note: the owner of the shop had gone out when boy boy was telling me this. Luckily, he came back to meet us arguing. I narrated what his boy told me about the sound system they sold for me he affirmed to it that the engine/DVD doesn't use electricity. I got confused and demanded for a refund. These guys refused. Insisting I take another DVD...i refused either that i preferred what i bought. They refused me going with what I bought. This infuriated a lot of noise and here comes in an elderly man who claimed to be the landlord of the shop.
He asked me what was wrong, i told him and he slapped the Boy boy. At this point, i knew I was being scammed but was helpless as well. It was just only me against Alaba boys. The elderly man asked me to calm down that he was there to help me out bla bla bla and requested to see the receipt that was issued to me me. Lo and behold, the subwoofer and the other 3 small speakers was not included in the receipt. They only wrote the engine/DVD they claimed doesn't use nepa light and even boldly put NO WOOFER & NO SPEAKERS. (indirect or indirectly, i only paid 25k for just the DVD player )
The truth was, i never saw these errors before the arrival of the elderly man. he pointed out the errors and finally told me they don't refund money in ALABA that it was all a trick and the trick was for me to pay any amount cos the sound system i bought was more than 25k that i would have to add more money for me to go with it. I insisted i don't have more money to add and they insisted i take a Chinese product. I no gree.
To cut it short, i finally found out the elderly man was part of them. His job was to distract and calm their victim down. At the end of it all, i only got the subwoofer and 3 small speakers. The ENGINE/DVD was not given to me.
This was my sad experience today in the hands of some heartless Nigerians.
That is the face of the SHOP OWNER. TRUE CALLER shows his name as BEN.
acunnon, do you know this man?
I experienced same thing about 10 years ago.
I ended up buying a TV set 50% more than the price I would have bought it in spar VI
I also ended up pay 120% more the price that I would have paid for a keyboard, had I bought it at spar VI.
SINCE THAT DAY ON I VOWED NOT TO GO BUY ANYTHING IN ALABA INT MARKET.
omale88: did you read the bible why Absalom killed his brother half brother amnon?he killed him for raping his sister not because they had sex,as a matter of fact tamer suggested he asked for her hand in marriage before he defiled her,so if davids family was involved in incest was it then wrong?the rape was wrong not the incest.from my understanding sexual immorality as described in the bible is homosexuality,adultery and rape .that is wrong.
What ever makes fornication and adultery wrong, makes incest wrong.
omale88: all i can say is based on traditional beliefs its an abomination but incest has been in the bible,lot and his daughters? the Rothschild family see it as a way to protect their family business,while it may disgust me ,they are adults not kids,so i see nothing wrong with that,if the girl grew to love her father who would you blame if she couldn't find other men attractive?its their life.
Does being an adult make something that's wrong right?
Luxurydriverng: Being a full time ehailing driver requires you spend an average of 10hours on the road daily thus increasing your chance of encountering traffic law enforcement officers.
VIO is out to get drivers who confidently drive around with "fake" road worthiness document mostly out of ignorance but you know the saying ignorance is no excuse.
I recently got the original road worthiness document and shared the process on my Channel.
Please remember to subscribe and share with other drivers.
salford1: I don't know what you are talking about.
Lockdown worked excellently in my country - Canada. It worked excellently in many Asia and European countries as well. It's common sense really. The virus can't travel on it's own. It needs carriers. In Canada which is US closest ally (can't say same till Trump took over). We did not need to sacrifice human lives for herd immunity
No proof so far of herd community working well for covid.
salford1: This literally flew over your head. In simplest terms, Trump did not support the use of simple mask for a very long time.
Sorry, this post is politics.
I've not seen it recorded that Trump was against masks.
However, the challenge of mask acceptance was from the flip flop position from WHO. who claimed that using masks was not necessary .I remember people look at those who put on masks as being foolish.
Later on, WHO said people should put on mask.
But scientifically, prolonged use of mask could lead to respiratory poisoning.
I'm interested in the"listening to the science" aspect.
Anyone can he in Trump's position so let's leave the politics out of it.
Trump ignored multiple warnings about the threat of a pandemic, and spent the last 2 years slashing the programs responsible for handling this outbreak
Days before Trump's inauguration, Obama administration officials briefed Trump officials on how to respond to a pandemic, Politico reported. According to the report, the scenario Obama officials presented to the incoming administration had many similarities to the coronavirus outbreak.
In the hypothetical, the outbreak began in Asia, spread to the US, and exposed significant holes in the healthcare system like a shortage of ventilators and antiviral drugs.
But this your reply has more of politics than science in it.
I'm trying to get the science he wasn't listening to. I don't buy into political sentiments on Covid 19.
The reason is because I have independent sources in the US who share information without political prejudice.
