Well, I don't really blame you.

Kids don't usually value what they have untill they lose it.

But my prayer for you and your likes is that you will never know what's it's like to live under a repressive tyrannical regime where your individuality is considered a threat to the state; your opinion don't count and your freedom of expression taken away.

May none of your descendants ever experience such an evil way of life (and pure backwardness) in this modern era.
Ehm m, if I may come in...

Anarchy and despotism has always led to regression of human development. They are indefensible.

I think the op is trying to differentiate republicanism and democracy. The two must not always go together you know. A republic is a government strongly controlled/guided by the rule of law; whereby the law of the land is supreme and sacrosanct.

Now, many forms of governments can exist as a republic - democracy, aristocracy, communist dictatorship, religious dictatorship etc.

Most developed countries first achieved progress under autocratic (but republican) arrangements.

In many of the European countries, voting right has always been restricted to the priviledged until not too long ago. Even the USA (established in 1776) only granted women power to vote in the 1900s.

The idea of national universal suffrage is a 20th century invention started after the western elite classes has consolidated power and entrenched themselves.

True democracy can only work on a small scale like the ancient greek city states, or the igbo traditional hamlets, and even then, it tends to breakdown and cause fragmentation of the society, if that society is faced with serious crises. That is why in the modern democratic republics, the president is granted dictatorial emergency powers during war or serious crises.

In short, in natural evolution of polities, autocratic republicanism comes first, before inclusive considerations for democracy. But then, our postcolonial African countries did not develop naturally. They where imaginative creations of the european colonial MASTERS. We need something totally unique, homegrown, and customised to our peculiar situation and problems. And we should not listen to outsiders while implementing it. Such worked for china. When they hybridised a communist government with a capitalist economy they were the laughing stock of the world, but today they are having the last laugh.

Lucifer’s Son (The Temptation Chronicles – Book I) by Sergey Mavrodi founder of MMM

If you are into the occult, demon worship, Satanism or the like, you will probably find this book to your liking. Translated from its original Russian there are places that are a little rough, words that are archaic and/or unfamiliar, but the web can help you through those moments as can the context in which the term is used. The book is written in a series of vignettes/short stories regarding various temptations that Satan explains to his son in the first 21 days of his son’s life. The first two chapters (vignettes) deal with the birth of the son of Lucifer and then the rest deal with temptations, each story introduced by a conversation between Lucifer and his son and then their conclusion at the end of the story. My favorite introduction is for Day 9 (Chapter 11):
And Lucifer said:
–If thou want to make a man unhappy, just give him all that he wants.
And Lucifer was asked by His Son”
¬Wherefore?
And Lucifer answer’d to His Son”
–Because a man always wishes f’r too much.
Many of the chapters deal with sex and can be unsettling, but if you are into this kind of book, you probably won’t be bothered. I found Lucifer to be much nicer than I had ever envisioned. For many, short stories are difficult to write because you must tell the story (get your point across) in such a short space. Sergey Mavrodi does it well although he tends to ramble when someone is thinking about his or her temptation and most of the temptations are for men. The last one is interesting because it seems to be about the author having just completed writing this book. Obviously from the title, there are expected sequels.

Lordscoba, go and read the book (or reviews of it, on the internet) which contain the ideas and beliefs of mavrodi, and possibly the motivations for his acts. If you then conclude there's no connection to MMM, all well and good.

The beliefs of holocron are irrelevant to this. When a finger points out an object, the wise will concentrate on the object referred, instead of looking at the person pointing.

Are we so blind, we can't see? Temptations? Lucifer's son?

what did he offer to Jesus on top of the mountain? He gives with one hand, and takes away with the other hand! MMM takes wealth from some and distributes to others. Wealth is never created in MMM.

In the end it takes from those that have not, and give to the haves. Temptations-what do you call the success videos? The iniquities spurred by the greed for mavros, the crime, and the tribulations.

InvestmentMavrodi's Book, "Temptations: Lucifer's Son", Reveals The Hidden Agenda Of MMM by holocron(op):
MMM founder Mavrodi wrote this book while in prison. He revealed his agenda as an agent of Lucifer. Since he wasn't sure of freedom, his intent was for his other acolytes to carry on in his absence.

Mavrodi was born a genius, winning several awards in physics and mathematics while in secondary school. He is an expert in the field of computer generated Artificial Intelligence, which is what he studied in University, and also uses to perfect the operation of the MMM software application. The book is about his belief that human beings are inherently evil and easily succumb to temptations to be vile and unscrupulous. He sees himself as an agent of Lucifer, sent to try men, to bring out the worst in them.

Why did God say man must sweat before he eats?? Why do people contravene that statute always end up in the belly of authorities or ripped off and die in grief and depression....

Mark zuckerberg made money by THINKING....taking a creative risk...

Mmm teaches us NOTHInG...

While its sweet to make some stressless box, for a people to progress as a unit/ nation etc, individuals have to THINK...

There is no insurmountable problem...

When 90% of the youth populace give up on thinking about what they could personally do to become one of the new leaders in the fresh economy that will kick recession In the butt, then there is a larger problem...

1. Deception; the belief that you the "aim" is to "HELP" PEOPLE....bluff, if that 30% isn't attached to it, would you be "providing help" to get ur same amount invested at the end of the month?
Answer - NO.

2. Win more souls; if the aim of the scheme is to provide so much financial "freedom" to Nigerians (because Mavrodi's uncle's aunty's nephew is from Edo state), there will be contentment and NO NEED to acquire more downlines....

3. Mind control; in participating in this scheme, participants willingly trade their active thinking faculty for the succor of a paltry 30% return on investment....and cease to THINK about actually learning how to grow money....instead participate in the gospel of "bringing" more fishes to sign up under them to "earn" from their own "PH"...

In all this, lets say MMM lasts 3 years (miracle), for 3years, the core of the leaders of tomorrow have spent their energy and time making money for show off, money for "I have money sake"....for even those who claim to want to start a business hardly do so...because of course, you have to "ph" to even "GH" more....

And then, you end up in the same country with the same leaders, who will keep stealing the BULK of the money (you obviously know nothing about and havnt trained yourself to) and you run full circle blaming the government....

The problem of the african man is that he is not forward thinking....

People are building apps, planning businesses, taking advantage of "recession" to establish businesses that will be the new dawn economy of the country while people do NOTHING. For a full month and just feel happy going to "GH" to acquire more "toys" like istandwithbuhari claimed hysterically....

I hav no such problems with MMM, but Africa must wake up....

Nairaland GeneralStop The Bickering! Yoruba And Igbo Were Once ONE People. by holocron(op):
Because of the lack of a literary tradition, the original history of the Nigerian peoples seems to be lost in the mists of time. However, modern ethnological and linguistic studies are now making all clear.

Using genetic technology of tracing mitochondrial DNA in human samples all over the world, It has been proved without doubt, that the various oyibo races of the world ( europeans, asians arabs etc) migrated out of Africa in prehistoric times, and then populated the whole world.

Dont forget that Africa is the center of the whole world. The whole seven continents of the world (Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica) were once one giant land mass called pangea, with Africa - West Africa, at the center of this super continent. This is 100% backed by the scientific theory of continental drift. If you doubt it, just get hold of an atlas of the world. You will see that the continents can fit smoothly into each other, just like a jig saw puzzle.

What all this means is that we Africans are the parents of the races, and Africa is the mother continent. The other races - arabs, jews etc - came from Africa, not vice versa. We Africans have always been in Africa from time immemorial - no shaking. Yorubas or Igbos did not come from the Middle East, rather it is the other way round. Ethnic chauvinists are turning history and science upside down, and they must quit and desist.

More research on origins using mitochondrial dna and linguistics will shed even more light.

In liguistics, the emphasis is on the pronunciation of the words, not the way it is spelt. There are so many common words and phrases, that there could not be any other explanation. E.g


English - yoruba - Igbo
Goat - ewure - ewu

Come - wa - bia

Come here - wa ni bi - bia na eba

rock - okute - okwute

I am sure those conversant in both languages can supply even more...

Igbo enwe Eze
Are we talking of the institution or the ideology, then we can know how to relate.
They are the same. The ideology gives birth to the institution. The igbos are conversant with the two, but have rejected it; hence "igbo amaghï eze". An ancient adage says that the EZE title is the highest any man can obtain in igbo land, and in order to make the Eze title unattainable, tradition stipulated that one of the requirements must be that the title seeker must feed the towns he seeks to lord over in kingship, all by his own personal efforts. That is clearly impossible.

You see kings pretend to do this by first confiscating the land or other means of production of the people, then granting it to them again as if by the King's grace. Thus it appears as if the king is the source of sustenance of the people, when it is vice versa.

The igbos are a people who in prehistory, experienced the tyranny and injustice of kingship, and have rejected it in favour of republicanism in the best traditions of ancient greek democracy. Hence the saying you quote. To go back to kingship again would be tantamount to a regression.

One of three things is involved:

1. The kidnap actually happened and was orchestrated by sons of the soil, but somehow, someone somewhere feels, "let's blame it on the usual suspects, our gullible people will buy it."

2. The kidnap was staged for the same reason as in (1).

3. Someone somewhere is up to something. To gain public sympathy, maybe? You never can tell.

The woman was miraculously rescued just like she was kidnapped.

Actual kidnappers would have played the ball way harder. If it were Fulani herdsmen on the other hand, blood would have spilled, somehow.
I wonder how someone so intelligent as you will allow themselves to become facetious just because of sectarian interests. So you mean the fulanis already arrested by the police are stooges, or what?
