MizMyColi:
There are o.
There are.

I've had mine too.
Very strong conviction.

Those days, when I was tempted to give up the notion of God...
I'd remember what happened to me that night, and I'd tell myself that surely, even if his/its name is not God, there is a being around us....within us, a power, a dimension, it seems far, but it's always near.
We connect to this presence in many different ways.

We all have our definition of the supernatural y'know....
For me music is supernatural.
It does wonders for me.

I don't wanna share my experience on here.
I could do without the drama.

But lemme see if this cuts it.

How do you explain a situation where a person is filled with anger and sore bile and over a wrong done, and just by acknowledging this presence and maybe with a mix of music (not necessarily gospel)....
You find yourself praying for and wishing those who hurt you well.
You find that hate has been replaced by love....
Even when you know that a person has wished you dead, in all meekness, you wish them life, you wish them the best life has in store for them.

That for me is a miracle.
It is.

As I write this, I feel the presence again.

Now, the things I wrote up there might sound to another as hogwash, and it just might be!
To them at least.


Relating with folks on here has taught me that perspective is a very powerful tool that shapes our reality.

So
What's your story?

MizMyColi:

Bro.
Ever since I stopped being an active participant of organized religion, a lot of things changed Including this aspect.

eaglechild:
Those outdoor pits are from the SW.

coogar:
be deceiving yourself.....
they sweat, spit & blow their noses in those pits. since the oil is still going to be cooked at huge temperatures, no one cares what happens during the stomping. matter of fact, the more impurities during the stomping, the tastier it gets.

Beremx:
exactly! It doesn't make sense burning the textile materials.

MizMyColi:



I have stopped believing news like this.
And rightly so.

These things aren't possible in my worldview.
Not anymore.

46arcadez:
Nope, cook the nuts well and the rest is easier

coogar:
are you kidding me?
this has been in existence since the fall of man in eden. sometimes the women are waist-deep in the palm oil with their dirty wrappers, spitting & sweating. it's what it is.....

Shollypopzz:
I understand why people stomp on grapes but why would anyone stomp on palm nuts?? I know for a fact that one's feet cannot achieve the result in that picture, palm nuts are hard.

So, what is the purpose of the feet?? Does it make the already pounded palm nuts smoother??

Nitefury:
AS carriers suffer less "malaria" attacks than people with AA and SS genotypes who are prone to it.

I'm not saying saying mosquitos don't bite them..

To start with, once upon a time, our ancestors were all AA. But after thousands of years of Malaria attacks, in order to fight the plasmodium parasites back, they began to undergo some kinda mutation in our genotypes and the sickle cell carrier (AS) was born..

Now how does AS protect against malaria attacks?

There's something called the spleen whose duty is to remove dead and sickled cells from the blood stream.. Now remember the plasmodium parasite lives inside the RBC which are oval in shape.

Now when ever a sickle RBC gets to the spleen, it removes it from the system because the shape is not normal. Now, since the parasite enters the RBC whether sickle or normal, when ever a sickle RBC containing the M.parasite gets to the spleen, it is killed together with the sickle cell.


What this means is, the M.parasite load in an individual with genotype AS is always lower than that of an AA individual. Hence an AA individual would most likely fall ill with malaria than an AS carrier even if they are both exposed to the same levels of mosquito bites.

Other factors like Diet, stress, environment and exposures to Mosquito bites etc. play a role too.

And note, the sickle cell genotype (AS) is found primarily in West Africa and other wet regions of the world.

I just tried to explain in a market woman's language so as not to confuse you..

You might wanna carry out further research online. Searching google for "Genotype AS and possible protective role against malaria" would be a good start.

lovaleenny:
And this made fp

indiraserv:
Hmmmm!

Has anyone really thought deeply enough about why Nigerian businesses/business men/women don't have wealth that last after their death? Like the Walmarts e.t.c
Of this world......

The things they do/did to acquire their wealth is better left to the imagination

SSBN:
Its been 5 days and im afraid to say the situation has gotten even worse. Sometimes it seems i am in a dream, i cant believe this is happening. I have taken to brushing 6 times a day, gargling salt water and mouth wash, scraping my tongue yet the first thing people do when they are near me is try to make it seem like they are causally covering their noses. I have lost everything, my girlfriend, my friends, even family. I am more or less living a life of isolation, afraid to interact socially. I had an incident with my ex some months ago where i beat her up, could this be a revenge spell or a physical problem. To say i am confused will be an understatement.

I Can guess that the girl sucked and Rode him more skillfully than all the girls he ever lashed

Zico5:
Thank God the road is clear for him. He shouldn't allow celebration to overshadow the sense of responsibility in him. He should stop all these jamboree and concentrate on the task ahead. May God help him to fulfill his promise and deliver on them

MrTeymee:
In this age of Instagram filters?
No bro..

DropShot:
The best choice of all the names propped up so far. He's a clear departure from others who are politicians.

M0GIDI:
They continue to treat us like fo.ols in Edo state, first it was Lucky then Adamu.
Lets pray Lucky falls from the first floor and D..
Anyway this house is still small compared to Adamu Oshiomhole's house in Ethiopia.

iyatrustee:
IMSU no dey?

Until our leaders allow their children to school here, they would not know the importance of quality education!

tomakint:
Buhari, as far as I know him remains a good man as a person but he is not the type of leader Nigeria wants at this time......in his bid to impress and to get a power grab from PDP, he failed the 'litmus test of campaign expected of a leader' which is, 'Promise little but deliver much' unfortunately, the APC machinery goaded him to 'Promise much and he may likely deliver......' well you know the rest. No way out, BUHARIMETER calling.......

gateleo:
Mark and Ekweremadu have used their leadership qualities to stabilize not only the Senate but also the National Assembly in general, which was reputed for having leadership crises resulting in serial impeachment of principal officers.

And you're an accomplice. 'has' not 'have'

Upnepaa:
The person above me have just murdered english

omenka:
This is serious.

StOla:
Even if it is a gift, Buhari has a cult following for reasons that are in total contrast to this.

Buhari has to keep his wife inside her beauty spa, and keep his kids in their schools or husband's house.

Buhari has proved impenetrable, his family now stands as his weak point, the enemy will not stop to rest. They will keep giving him hell, hopefully he will remain focused.

It's the young Obama administration versus the Tea Party all over again.

barcanista:
Buhari ooooooo

Old Thief....#BabaOneChance....Declare your asset
