Righteousness2:
The TRUTH is that the Deception is in play and many including so called Christians have Fallen prey.

Non of the so called “Christians” that rally for Hamas and stand against Israel’s right to exist is a true Christian.

They will not be raptured and will not have eternal life unless they repent!
They are the foolish virgins of Matthew 25 and Hoses 4:6 Christians.

You cannot be an addicted Follower of GOD and His word the Holy Bible and follow bandwagon of those who have fallen casualty to the Deception in these last days.

When I see the Crowd of People against God's LAND ISRAEL, I come to understand



As for Me righteousness, Today, tommorrow, next tommorrow and till Eternity

Israel was formed in 1948. It's not the same as the ancient nation of Israel - which ceased to exist in 70AD when the Temple was destroyed. Some of you have a very poor understanding of the Bible you carry.

sherylbaky:
This cracked me up. Even the one from the supermarket has sand?

Thought it should have been properly processed
It does o! If you call an online vendor and say "hope there is no san-san in your own?" They will say "Noooo. This one doesn't have sand o." The ones that have small fear of God will say, "E used to have small sand. So you will wash it very well." But they're all lying. Next time Akpabio and his fellow prayer warriors amend the constitution, they should insert a provision either banning that thing or mandating its producers to put a san-san warning label.

Mynd44:
A sitting governor being an open religious bigot is a problem.

But a lot of us won't see the problem because it isn't against Islam or Christianity.

This type of government comment will promote shrine burning and other harassment of Traditional worshippers.

It should be condemned totally
He did not go for traditional religion this time (he has in the past) - just throwing the word "idolatry" around. From the article, he's referring to the worship of mammon, not attacking traditional worshippers. Mr Soludo is making progress.

Lolz..sand and small small stone...you fit was that thing 20times with special skills yet you go chop sand
That thing should be DECLARED UNFIT for human consumption by FG. It should remain banned until someone invents a way to process the sand out of it or process it without sand - whichever applies.

How is it bn cooked?
Just like rice. If you buy the packed supermarket variety, the instructions will be written on the pack. I won't go near it again though. If I want to eat sand, I will go to Eleko Beach and start packing them into my mouth.

Ways it can be cooked.

So, what do you think people?
Can you replace this with rice for the mean time? cheesy
Would you be willing to give it a try? I sure would.
No, we can't. Because they can't get the sand out of it. I don't know what's wrong with our people. If it's oyinbo now, they will find a way to process it without sand, but not here. They will package it full of san-san, seal it and start selling.

I'm rambling. I know.

Business › Re: I Just Lost 400k by JuanDeDios:
Athena6:
Last week I created a thread talking about how my japa plans have been crushed due to the increase in dollar.

Many adviced me to invest in dollar, this was the advice they gave me months ago but I did follow through because I wasn't sure.
My last thread hit front page and 90% of the comments were advising me to invest in dollars, one even quoted that in the past 10 years, the dollar haven't fallen but it increases every year.

One even called me a weak minded person and I am scared to take risks.
After everything I thought to myself, since so many people felt this dollar will keep on rising, maybe I should invest afterall life is all about risks.

Well guess what, dollar have decreased, I invested 3M in buying dollars and now in today exchange rate. I have 2.6M now and I either cash out now or hope it will increase.

Right now, I am very angry.
Those giving me advice should come and contribute the 400k for me o

Another thing, do you think the dollar will increase or should I just cut my loses.
I am so tired 😫
Well, you're on your own on this one. We ARE PRAYING for it to fall.

Politics › Re: Nigeria Brings Major Dangote Refinery To Life With Own Oil Supply by JuanDeDios: 6:47am On Nov 03, 2023
FreeStuffsNG:
The never-say-never indomitable spirit of a Patriotic Nigerian prevailed once again! We did it and we did it BIG!

Thank you Asiwaju Tinubu for not letting this dream die from the initial stage that the vision carrier, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, ran to you in desperation when our late President Yardua of the PDP , revoked his successful bid for our national refineries. You assured him that Lagos will support him to realise his dream. That dream is realized today. You are truly a visionary Leader of our time. God bless you Asiwaju Tinubu.

Thank you Alhaji Aliko Dangote and your team members for this great feat.

Thank you President Buhari for approving NNPC's request to support the project with the 20% stake.

Thank you Mr Mele Kyari of NNPC and Mr Emefiele of the CBN for the relentless hardwork you both put into this project to save it from failing.

Thank you to all our indigenous banks and international banks, crude oil production companies, CBN, NNPC, patriotic public and civil servants, the great and patriotic Nigerians and lovers of Nigeria who all contributed to make this project a laudable success.

Great gbosagbosa Thank you to the Centre of Excellence, my Lagos state and in particular, Eti-osa for being a worthy host. E seun lopolopo eyin lobaloba, Ijoye ati gbogbo ara ilu Eko.

Thank you HE Babatunde Raji Fashola for your leadership in helping Dangote Refinery call Etiosa home today.

It's a feat even generations unborn will benefit from as they will not inherit the evil petrol subsidy system that nearly killed Nigeria.

To the shame of the naysayers and unpatriotic elements, Dangote Refinery made it and you lost again. All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las,they always lose.
Congratulations to Nigeria. God bless Nigeria for ever!
I will come back and like this post when I see the refined oyels from that refinery.

The way Emefiele was portrayed as the demon in our financial system, one would have thought it would be El dorado for Nigeria after his arrest.

But alas, the economy has grown from bad to worse in less than 6months.
Emefiele was the demon in our financial system. Tell one problem the economy is having and I'll tell you how Emefiele is behind it.

Before I say one thing my wife has abused the hell out of me,she was such a calm and reserved person before we married,but today at the slightest of misunderstanding she begins the insult,even getting close to my face telling me to beat her,I have never laid a finger on her,but she is tempting me to do that. How can a woman calls a man fool, idiot, animal? I have reported her family severally and yet she is not changing.

I opened a boutique business for her last year,now she said she wants to sell baby things,and I have done it half way,I had to just prank her that the other money I was expecting hasn't come, immediately she began the insult again to my face,as it is the prank is getting real because I will not give her the money anymore
A woman does not go from loving you to being indifferent to you. She goes from loving you to hating you. What you do is up to you.

Politics › Re: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Visits Yoruba Cultural Centre In Lagos by JuanDeDios: 6:34pm On Oct 31, 2023
aQUINandmore:
As someone from Edo, I find myself drawn to the Yoruba culture of Nigeria. It's not just a fascination; it's a deep appreciation and love that I hold for what I consider to be the most beautiful culture in Africa. It might seem unusual for me to have such an affinity for a culture outside of my own, but there's something truly special about the Yoruba heritage that captivates my heart.

The Yoruba culture is a tapestry of history, a masterpiece of traditions that have withstood the test of time. It's like a living museum of Africa's past, present, and future. I can't help but be entranced by its richness and depth.

What stands out most is the way Yoruba culture weaves together a complex fabric of language, spirituality, art, and community. The Yoruba language is like a dance, with its melodious flow and expressive words that seem to carry stories within each syllable. It's a language that can paint a picture with its very pronunciation.

Their spiritual beliefs are equally captivating. The Yoruba pantheon of gods, the Orisha, is a fascinating blend of mythology and reverence. The intricate rituals, divinations, and ceremonies that honor these deities are nothing short of mesmerizing. I admire the profound connection they maintain with their ancestors, believing that the spirits continue to guide and protect them.

Yoruba artistry is a realm of wonder. The Adire and Aso-oke textiles are not merely fabrics; they are works of art. Each pattern and motif tells a story, preserving their history and heritage in threads. The intricate beadwork, the stunning masks, and the sculptures are a testament to the incredible talent and creativity of the Yoruba people.

Music and dance are like the heartbeats of the Yoruba culture. The talking drums, the rhythms of Sango, and the energy of Ogun's dance, all come together to create a unique and exhilarating symphony. Their festivals, like the Eyo and Osun, are a spectacle of color and joy, a testament to the celebratory spirit that runs through their veins.

What's most striking is the strong sense of community and family in the Yoruba culture. I, from Edo, can't help but appreciate the way they embrace one another, the warmth in their interactions, and the strength of their bonds. They place great importance on names, known as "Oruko," and I admire how they cherish their ancestors and carry their legacies forward through generations.

It's worth noting that my love for Yoruba culture does not diminish my love for my own Edo heritage. Rather, it serves as a testament to the beauty of diversity in Nigeria. We are a tapestry of cultures, each offering something unique and beautiful. The Yoruba culture, in all its magnificence, adds vibrancy to the mosaic of our nation.

So, as someone from Edo with a deep admiration for the Yoruba culture, I can't help but celebrate their traditions and their profound impact on Nigeria and Africa as a whole. The Yoruba culture, with its language, spirituality, art, and sense of community, is a treasure that enriches us all.
This is beautifully written. I want to buy you lunch. You can name the place; I'll pick the time.
