Seun, can your backend recover the edit history of a post? It is to put to bed, once and for all, the certain deception of a poster on this page (a deception which breaks some of your NL rules).

If it comes at a charge, I will pay.

This is the post whose edit history we want to recover: https://www.nairaland.com/1122902/cook-kitchen-take-pictures-post/3713#137461623

SpaceX: My wife made this special,..........

This thief, SpaceX, stole the picture of a food, posted by another member of this thread 5 years ago. He claimed it to have been made by his wife.

When I busted him, he edited out that post and deleted the picture.

Let this be a reference.

Here is the original poster 👇🏿

Self-alienation

I get where you are coming from, joudini, as I do many Nigerians who lived through the consequences of his policies and leadership. You are correct. Death shouldn’t shield anyone from being scrutinized. Facts must be recorded by history, honestly. Criticism, even of the dead, is part of how nations learn and grow.

But I also believe that there’s a difference between seeking historical truth and seeking posthumous vengeance.

When I said, “no matter what transpired between him and Nigeria,” I did not mean to excuse or whitewash his actions. I meant to acknowledge that his legacy is complicated and, for many, painful indeed. Real systemic justice should be pursued while the person is alive and accountable IMO though. That Nigeria often fails to do so is one of our deepest national wounds.

Again, rest, in the context of death, is not a reward but a universal human closure. Saying he should find rest is not for absolution, but to leave judgement to history and for some of us, to God.

It is also a tested and trusted way for us the living, to choose not to carry forward hatred that consumes and divides.

In all, your demand for truth and justice is justified. Hopefully, we will learn and continue to hold leaders to account, not just in death, but in life where it matters most.

Quite a synopsis. I agree. For many people, his destruction was personal.

I hope you and yours are good.

Rocktation:
No matter what transpired between him and Nigeria, may he find rest.

This is a sad outlook to have. Your phrase "no matter what transpired between him and Nigeria" is a seeming indictment of him. If so, why is your thought of rest instead of justice? Because he is dead?

Death does not, and should not, confer on a human immunity from judgment or criticism.

Rocky, you are in a country where many decades after a crime's commission, investigation still goes on. Even when the victims are few, or victimless.

Buhari was a congenital bigot. Deeply sectarian. Grandly corrupt. Historically incompetent. His speeches and actions took Nigeria's fault lines back to civil-war times. He unfurled unprecedented economic ruin via his policies. Nigeria's commonwealth suffered unprecedented plundering under his watch. Millions of Nigerians were direct victims of his criminality. Livelihoods and lives were ruined.

The above is not accidental. Similar scenarios occurred when he was a military dictator. So you see, anyone who failed as a tyrant, and civilian government, has issues far beyond personal incompetence.

Buhari does not deserve rest, he deserves justice.

spiritual is a new one. I'm blushing! Yes, that's right. It's mainly Jamaican but cycles through other types of food periodically. They streamline the menu to the basics when I'm out of town.

I felt like trying something made by you. Some real, Southern soul food. Your food pictures got me some type of way. And by god, you know so much about cars.

Jamaican food really isn't much different from Naija food. And yes, this is all made in Naija.
Curry goat
Brown stew chicken
Jerk chicken
Oxtail with cornbread

If I remember right, you said you run an eatery at Lekki? Do you sell Soul-food there? Your pictures are spiritual.

See how much power you retain when you ignore trolls? Their psychopathy renders them unable to accept you being dismissive of them. So they will try every means (including exhausting their long list of multiple monikers) in order to get you to respond to them.

Trolls suffer from self-alienation, deal with them intelligently by ignoring or reporting their posts.

Mind Over Matter.

Trolls are not swayed by reason nor shame. Their impulsivity to chaos is stronger than your attempt at dialectics.

Identify him and his numerous monikers, report his posts whether he quotes you or not, then keep it moving. But do not reply him.

Mind Over Matter.

The last time, someone unsuccessfully attempted to ridicule me because I maintained that ignoring trolls was the best counter to their psychopathy.

There is a timeless lesson herein.

Loretta, I'm not the enemy...but you already know that.

You have seen them malign others without fail, insult others without reason.

You have seen them break almost all the rules of what passes for a website, and they do all those without consequences.

Yet when these trolls quote you, you imagine yourself too elitist, too refined, too out-of-their-league for them to extend to you, the very same filth you have watched them persistently extend to others.

Go on, continue to respond to trolls. Induce them and grin like a Cheshire cat when they insult others. Then pretend to be surprised when you reply them and they do so to you.

Trolls R U.
