∆ But that’s exactly the rapport Nigerians term as good neighborliness. Intrusion and meddling in people’s lives.

That na why I dey regard the place a lot of times as some sort of Topsy-Turvy world 🌎

⚠️There is something important we need to discuss.⚠️
Although the scriptures makes it clear that no one knows the day or hour Jesus would return, Jesus did give clues or hints that would make believers know their redemption was near.
Using those clues, alot of preachers, pastors and so called prophets have predicted the second coming of Jesus and guess what.........they all failed miserably. These are men that claim to be inspired by God's holy spirit yet their predictions or expectations were woefully wrong.☹️
Why?
Despite all visible signs, earthquakes, war, pestilence, men being lovers of themselves and lovers of money, Why has Jesus refused to return when men expected him? 🤔
Could it be that his return already took place in the past during the generation and time of the disciples?

To understand the different events you must first endeavor to understand what Jesus Christ in fact taught before anything else.

Matthew 24, Mark 13, along with Luke 21 are references to events that took place about 1900 years ago. Jesus Christ informed you of this when He expressed that all the events described within those contexts would take place in the very same generation that His disciples, the ones to whom His responses were tailored for were a part of. Once you accept what Jesus Christ in fact said in those passages as Truth, you almost begin to see how what He said in Matthew 10, Matthew 16, and even Mark 9 fit in to that same timeline which He gave.

What is way off in the future is not the coming of the Kingdom of God which instead arrived after the end time/close of God's final judgement against the nation of Israel in the land of Canaan which marked the beginning of the time of the Kingdom of God, an eternal kingdom. Rather, what is off in the future is the return of the King or the coming again of the King.

■ You can see the picture, of course it's a mother and her daughter. No normal father would bathe with his daughter, it makes no sense. Even bathing with your son as a man in today's society would be seen negatively...
So your in-laws like some nudity lol... That's probably their own way of welcoming you to the family 😆 Scandinavians have a weird culture, but hope say e no pass that one sha 👀

I have great respect for cultures that encourage individuals to embrace and own the body are born with and to respect that of others as well.

I think this sort of positive reinforcement should become a tradition in more African homes/communities, with mothers teaching their daughters to embrace and own the bodies they are born with. Same of course for the males. This culture of body shaming which has been a norm for many generations should be done away with.

■ I just saw it!!! I saw a lot of people gathered, looking up, so I parked and dashed out with my phone. I looked up and saw the moon and then it disappeared and everywhere got dark!!! And this is just 3pm in the afternoon. In the morning, I thought it would rain according to the weather forecast, but there's no rain. It was really cool and beautiful!!! I got there a bit late but I saw it!!!

Same here... no totality! But I watched the NASA+ live coverage, and it was fun and quite informative.

MsJackson:
■ Yes I'm teaching now thanks. All and I mean all his family members have blocked my access to them both online and offline. It saddens my heart greatly. I have left the battle to God. Because how can all of them just hate me based on one sided story of my husband? NOT ONE OF THEM ALLOWED ME TO NARRATE MY SIDE OF THE STORY. They listened to him only and passed judgement. Even a criminal or murderer is allowed their day in court. But I have been judged and found wanting by them. I pray God heals my heart.

Take heart!

■ Hope your mama Will be next, wicked souls

These brainless ideas you hold only hold you and your kind shackled. Those of us outside of such delusions are not impacted in any way by them, directly or otherwise.

[color=#1986BC] In Nigeria, it ain't. It's just plain ol' busy body.[/color]

No, what you described is definitely a crime in even Nigeria. When a person pokes their nose into your apartment without express permission from you, the apartment renter, the person is guilty of trespassing, and the law frowns on it even in Nigeria. That Nigerians let trespassers go scot-free does not change that fact.

Davidnilla:
■ I've gotten your point already sir, like I said I've experienced someone like you before. JuJu no dey God no dey All dreams are just memory Evil no dey That's what you're trying to achieve, we know. The last girl who played this kind of trick with me, her mama was later exposed, confessed and burnt alive, after discovering pictures of people in bottles, padlocks and alot related fetish things. You go still say she was mentally unstable, we know sir. We know

Those worms worming around in your mind are having a ridiculously hard time comprehending any of what I have said it seems!

iichidodo:
■ [color=#1986BC] Weather has been quite hot, suffice to say that I usually sleep naked in my den, then one day, this busy body neighbor just came downstairs and opened my window...Like WTF?!! Why can't some people mind their own f**king business and stay on their lane. You see why I hate busy bodies? [/color]

What you described is not Busy body attitude at all but a literal home invasion/trespassing. Why would any person go to and open another person's window if not to trespass, and that is against the law.

Davidnilla:
yea, we know. JuJu, God, witchcraft, all of them na folktale. Dreams aren't revelations, it's just my brain playing back memories. We don hear sir! Bye bye

Dreams are revelations from whom? Obatala? Amadioha? Who?

Davidnilla:
■ Bros you're confused, I know your type. I'm not ready for this. I've lived, I've experienced. Go elsewhere please, maybe a newbie who doesn't know your kind

LOok at this one? You have lived where exactly and experienced what exactly to think you know what you obviously have yet to figure out even at this point in your life.

TheWinterBird:
Did you see the last one, Kobo? The last one was said to be in 2017 but it didn't get this much hype here, if any, as it wasn't visible here. Its path of totality spanned from Salem, Oregon, to Charleston, South Carolina.

Turns out we are not in the path of totality again this time around either.

Davidnilla:
■ That's why I said it's weird to me... In my experience, people like this, people like you, dey into witchcraft or was raised in a family into witchcraft. And that's why you go around making people believe it's all a folktale. Just based on my experience going up with people like you

Witches, Christians, Muslims.... they are all the same to me, and right now you, the one seeking an interpretation to a dream, fits squarely into that group.

Davidnilla:
■ I think when a normal person starts having weird dreams all of sudden, frequently, he's gonna start making enquiries

Normal people don't seek interpretations. They instead look into their memories, lives, and relationships to find clues to solve the puzzle that the subconscious may be trying to get them to find. It is people driven by anxieties and fears that seek external interpretations of what are subjective issues such as dreams.

Davidnilla:
■ I've seen you going around making people believe that there's no evil and there's a God, and spirituality doesn't exist. So it's kinda weird to me

Comprehension is a major issue among the religious folks out there, and you are not exempt.

Davidnilla:
■ who said I was scared? I'm looking for possible dream interpretation for that Cos seeing dead people in dreams ain't normal to me, or you don't believe that dreams may have meaning too? Lol,

Anxiety is the major reason why folks seek interpretation of dreams.

omobolarinwa1:
■ I'm not in the best position to answered that if they can put the equipment in needs in sighting moon. You said why government spending millions of $$ in sponsored people to pilgrim i.e Muslims. So I had to let you know that the funds were apply for both Muslims and Christians.

Nonsense! What does it matter is that funds are made available to other religions when the focus here is Islam and the fact that Africa, in 2024, looks to Saudi Arabia to decide when the Moon is just right for a religious ritual its many nations celebrate. Again, we are talking of a continent that boasts almost half of the Muslims in the world.

Davidnilla:
■ You're active most in the religious section, is this all you do? Weird and suspicious

I am happily unemployed and so have time to chat about these things. How is that weird or suspicious?

Davidnilla:
■ That's the point, I have forgotten these people many years ago, my emotional state is perfectly fine. The dreams just started and become frequently weird

You have forgotten them does not mean the memory of them has been erased. Now and then, I still get a glimpse of my childhood that I thought was long gone. I think all of the memory remains there, even if the direct memory map seems distant to you. There is no reason to be afraid of the memories or images/emotions they track.

iichidodo:
[color=#1986BC] I prefer "i don't care attitude" than the busy body attitude. In some climes, it's the difference between peace of mind or unnecessary stress..[/color]

Nigeria is definitely made for your kind.

■ Comot for here. Agbaya like you. At the age of 55, see the kind thing wey dey excite you. If you like no pack your load come back naija. How can person of over 50 say he dey yankee but spends all their time on Nairaland? Na ment?

I guess all other Yankees are Agbayas too. I gladly aline with then in that case. NASA na league of Agbayas, right?

A look inside the Nasa jet chasing the solar eclipse
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68746638
On Monday, two specialised Nasa flights will chase the solar eclipse in North America. Four scientists in two WB-57 flights will fly at 50,000ft (15,240m) along the eclipse's path of totality, collecting data on the Sun's corona.

Mallory Yates, who will be an equipment operator on one of those flights, talks to the BBC about what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Africans, only you can save your own brain from this rot that you continue to afflict yourselves with.

Davidnilla:
What could this dream mean? I saw my late friend that died in 2018 in my dream, I've never thought of him since many years and I didn't have him in my mind. He saw me in the dream and starting running away, I had to chase him down and we started walking together.. While working, sometimes he'll be hiding as if something or someone was looking for him. In same dream, in another episode (you know as dream dey be now), I saw my late grand mother, who even died before i was born

So what? As long as you met these people at one point in your life — your memory captured an image of them— expect them to feature in your dreams. Stop being afraid of your own shadows people. Review your emotional state at the time you had the dream and try to work to clear out any emotional slug in your life, and you are good to go.

Oshokhai69:
So na this black circle dey excite these people wey no want make person rest since morning? Na lie. Na just opportunity to show say dem don jakpa go yankee. Useless Agbayas.

Africa, who do una dis thing? https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/live/

omobolarinwa1:
■ Ahahhahah that's Nigeria for you my brother even NSAT no de work na for decorating the agency dey do. Secondly government do not spend and sponsor muslim pilgrim alone to Hajj but to Israel Jerusalem as wekk. Both Christian and Muslim do benefit from the government coffers. My.hand no de sha ooo lol

What you are saying is there is really no incentive for Muslims to work towards improving Islamic moon sighting technology in Nigeria because the Christians also get money to go to Israel? For real? It is completely out of the question to wonder why a whole continent of Africa which boasts some of the world's largest population of Muslims does not even have technology enough to handle its Islamic moon sightings.

omobolarinwa1:
■ Oya make i yern ham in pidgin seem.u no de understand me. Yes Africa 🌍 using the moon to count there months and years. But the issue here is that in between a day to 5days the moon will be sighted to everyone even without equipment. Just look up to the sky at night you will see the clear vision of moon. But on the first day it hard to be sighted thats why they are using telescope 🔭 in sighting the tinning moon on day one. I think I been don clear your question little my personal fan.

Nigeria alone spends almost $100 million, if not more, on Pilgrims each year but it is not able to afford a telescope to peer at sight the tinning of the moon with? None of the other muslim countries in Africa can afford even the same moon sighting telescope?

mbaise1000:
■ So you now know more than Jesus who said he doesn't know the exact time?
■ And BTW everything that Jesus said will happen before that time comes has happened, and people like me are not waiting for a thousand years or it's approximate,
■ we are told to be ready and that we are, don't wait for even one day, be prepared all the time, that's what matters, peace

1. Enough of the meaningless arguing!

Kobojunkie:
And no, I am not in hell at all given that Hell — Eternal Damnation, which is of the Kingdom of God instead — as promised by Jesus Christ is probably still at least 1000 years away in the future.

2. The Tribulation described by Jesus Christ took place around 1900 years ago. So, I am not certain what again you are talking about. And no, I don't depend on the opinions of your religious lords or people like you as the facts are instead as stated in Scripture. These facts were declared by God through His Prophets and reiterated by Jesus Christ, the Last Prophet sent by God.

3. I understand how you religious folks enjoy living in anxiety, fear, and even the idea of a rapture coming out of nowhere at you, an idea far from what Jesus Christ taught His followers in His Gospels. All this is good for you but I don't live by the rules of your religious overlords as I live instead by that which was stipulated by Jesus Christ.

omobolarinwa1:
■ Bro all man for himself not a must to abide or believe in what others believe.
■ Secondly Africa doesn't have equipment to sight moon moreover middle east was a desert and they ave sofisticated equipment for sighting moon for decades. Therefore removed AFRICA for the job . They ill only lies to us they are doing the same but codedly they wait for the news from East and after few hours they ill now announced there own. Thats the method for years. Good day bro

1. You made the broad statement which I responded to so no need to snap at me.

2. Huh! No be you talk say even before Africa had a calendar, Africans had always used the moon to count months and years? Now the same you dey claim say Africa doesn't have the equipment to sight the same moon?

omobolarinwa1:
■ no need to stress anymore since it wasnt sighted in middle east meaning the fasting will continued tomorrow while it ill be completed at the end of tomorrow. A true believer who prepared to fast for One God already knew and had the decision to fast either for 29 or 30 days. NB all moon sighted change always in between 29-30 days even before the porported gragorian greek calender.
■ even before africa had calender we always use moon in counting our months and years. shalom

I no dey starve my stomach of food for any Deity abeg. Na feasting I dey do today thanks to the today eclipse out here. 😁

2. Yeah, but you aren't using the moon in Africa but the one in Saudi Arabia for your so-called computation there.

mbaise1000:
■ Good, that's the one I asked you how you arrived at the time you said it will happen,

We are still living in the time of the False prophets and False Teachers... they are pretty much everywhere you look. This means that the Gospel of Jesus Christ — the Truth that causes the Light of Jesus Christ to shine —has yet to be preached far and wide in this world we live in. And so the gathering of sheep and goats from every tribe and every language and every nation, many be a ways off still. Add the forever in the Land of Canaan which God promised to all of the righteous of Old in Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20 and you get that Eternal Reward(Heaven)/Eternal Damnation(Hell) may still be approximately 1000 years away.
