Christianity EtcSay No To Tolerance Of Religions by lawani(op): 11:14pm On Feb 25, 2025
Say no to tolerance of religions!.

As the descendants of the people that existed before religion, we see ourselves worldwide as one but we have no need to preach tolerance of religions or to adopt a live and let live attitude towards Christianity and islam. The stated aim of religions is the eradication of all Earth's cultures. You don't embrace those who say you must be eradicated. This is why the right path to follow for all of us is to press the government to ban the public practice of religion. All spiritualities that can be incorporated to help people must have a teachable methodology with the practitioners belonging to a well organized chartered body modeled after the ones in the other sectors like accounting and etc so that quacks can be easily apprehended.
Once again all peoples that mean well for human civilization should join the call for an end to the public practice of Christianity and Islam whose stated aim is the eradication of all of Earth's cultures. After all, Christianity is competing with government for revenue while Islam is trying to compromise the nation's sovereignty.
PoliticsHow To Sustain Democracy And Hence Autonomy In Local Governments. by lawani(op): 10:03pm On Feb 25, 2025
How to sustain democracy and hence autonomy in local governments.

A good way to solve the problem of states not holding local government elections as at when due is for the federal government to stop sending local government funds to states that don't hold elections. If there are proper elections, then the problem of autonomy or no autonomy will be more easily solved as some opposition parties will win elections and take a stand against states not remitting all their funds to them.
The logic is that if you can maneuver the local governments to not give them their full allocations even after the chairmen won free and fair elections, then so be it.

PoliticsThe After Effects Of The Much Needed Global Economic Restructuring by lawani(op): 9:29pm On Feb 24, 2025
The after effects of the much needed global economic restructuring.


If there is a global restructuring whereby the cost of living is forced down in high income countries by reducing the cost of rent and mortgage to what is obtainable in low income countries that have per capita income lower than 5000 dollars per annum, there will be a corresponding drop in the price per barrel of crude oil, maybe to the region of around 15 dollars per barrel or much less. It is hard to estimate what the price of crude oil per barrel will rest at if cost of living is reduced globally to such an extent that no country on Earth will have a per capita income over 5000 dollars per annum. Three thousand dollars per annum may even be okay.
Oil prices will drop and the cost of goods manufactured in high income countries will also drop. People who live in hitherto low income countries will be able to afford more as everything is evened out. The nominal net worth of HNIs in high income countries will reduce drastically too as the nominal size of the GDP reduces while actual production surges as the economies of high income country becomes better able to retain jobs.
It is going to be a win win scenario for all economies both high and low income on Earth but it will mean a revenue reduction for nations whose traditional revenue source is hydrocarbons. Such nations will have to seek new revenue sources to be able to remain afloat.

PoliticsIBB Should Not Go Scot Free by lawani(op): 12:05pm On Feb 23, 2025
IBB should not go Scot free.

There is a need to bring a proper closure to the June 12 1993 ordeal where former military President Babangida played the whole nation of Nigeria like football and caused the premature deaths of many people across the nation during demonstrations by annulling the very free and fair June 12 1993 elections. It does not matter that it happened over thirty years ago. However, it must be highlighted that the whole IBB transition was flawed from the beginning when he termed some politicians as old breed and banned them from contesting in the elections. However, the reality is that IBB after illegally banning politicians, raised people’s hope and dashed it by annulling an already concluded election on which enormous resources were expended.
There was then a sequence of events that culminated in the state murder of Bashorun MKO Abiola.
We can not rely on the present administration in Nigeria led by President Bola Tinubu to bring the needed closure to everything by trying former President IBB but we can as concerned members of the public, nudge Bashorun Abiola’s family members to sue IBB for damages. They can target his shareholding in Globacom Nigeria limited especially and ask that it be awarded to them as compensation.
Former President IBB deserves more punishment than that but that can be a starting point for onlookers to learn from. Onlookers need to learn. If wrongdoing is not punished, it will become culture and if the government will not do anything, then the people directly affected should seek redress in a civil court for the sake of posterity.

Gowon had no right to agree on behalf of anybody really neither did Ojukwu and the Northern politicians directed Gowon to renege. Eastern minorities wanted states, maybe not all but some did. There was even a several days long insurrection led by Adaka Boro which was put down by Ironsi and Ojukwu

He knew the Eastern minorities wanted the states and that he could use that to weaken Colonel Ojukwu. He signed the agreement but when he returned home, the politicians advised him to renege on the agreement and he did which led to the war. In my opinion, Colonel Ojukwu should have accepted the state creation for peace to reign

PoliticsRe: Fighting For A Yoruba Was The Reason Ojukwu Stood Against Gowon- IBB by lawani(m): 1:23pm On Feb 22, 2025
War broke out because Colonel Ojukwu did not agree with General Gowon's breakup of the East for Eastern minorities. He insisted on the Aburi accord. What kind of revisionist history is IBB propagating?. Since he has agreed to what he did to MKO, MKO's family should take him to court for damages. It is very necessary if nothing else is done as a fallout of the publication of his book.

Iwori Oturupon

A man can not see farther than the horizon.

This was the IFA cast for the ardent religionist who did not know that it can be deemed prideful to say you can not bow down to idols.
He was advised to sacrifice.
He listened but he did not comply
Onlooking people of Po and Offa!.
What is called idolatry by religionists is actually part of cohabiting well with nature!.


Ogunda Owonrin

The Quran is a prime idol!.

This was the IFA cast for the mob of Muslims that lynched a man for desecrating an inanimate Quran that he bought with his own money while they say idolatry is wrong
They were advised to sacrifice
They listened but did not comply
Onlooking people of Po and Offa!
May we not become what we chastise in others.

Owonrin Irete
The road to illumination is full of hazards.

This was the IFA cast for the incarnate of Orunmila who can not blossom as Orunmila without passing through difficult paths
He was advised to sacrifice

Not long after, meet us where we are celebrating victory like Ogun at the feet of Obarisa.

Any spirituality using a teachable scientific approach to solve problems is not a religion.

This was the IFA cast for IFA Orunmila that is not a religion when coming from heaven to Earth
It was advised to sacrifice
It listened and complied
On looking people of Po and Offa!.
Any divination based spirituality is not a religion. It is using the scientific approach.

Story.
If we agree that science and religion are opposites then we must accept that spiritualities that have no holy books that can't be peer reviewed and that uses teachable divination methods are not religions. The toxic spiritualities are the religions. Others are scientific in their approach.

They did not take into consideration the fact that a country like China has the energy sector and many other businesses being run by government to the extent that government had a profit of over 360 billion dollars from its business ventures in one year.

CultureSpiritual Debates And Spirit Reproduction by lawani(op): 2:36pm On Feb 16, 2025
Spiritual debates and spirit reproduction

According to my IFA research, spirits get into debates with each other which has a gestation period of two years after which one of them will rise in empathy rank and the other will drop. There are six levels of empathy rank and if you drop from the last one you will stop incarnating as a human being.
When you want to incarnate as a spirit you must join a debate and after joining a debate you must incarnate within ten months while the debate will last two years.
When you win a debate, you will rise in empathy rank and emit another spirit in heaven. Their system of reproduction in heaven is via debates. If during the debate, a debater plans and does evil, the person for which the evil is intended will emit a spiritual child instantly without waiting for the end of two years.
That, according to my IFA research, is how spirits multiply in heaven.

CultureUs And The Spirits 2 by lawani(op):
Us and the Spirits.

According to my research using the IFA oracle, we have over 60 billion spirits out of which around half of them have incarnated before or have incarnation experience. There are no other entities interfering on Earth other than these spirits and one of them whose last incarnation is female is designated as God. For the time this spirit is designated as Father or Mother God, it will not incarnate on Earth. There are thousands of spirits all with last incarnation as female in the God grid. They are all fully matured spirits with over twenty four incarnations under their belts. How these spirits came into being can not be known since even if we knew, we still will not know the answer to many other questions that will be subsequently raised like who created the creator?.
The spirits need food to survive and that is why they get incarnated. An incarnated person on Earth is a food farm for its spirit. If you spend one hundred years on Earth, you will be able to spend at least one hundred years in heaven and it will be more if you did good deeds while on Earth. Good deeds increase your credit.
The spirits with incarnation experience can only die as a result of doing enough evil while on an incarnation or theoretically of starvation just like us. The spirits without any incarnation experience can be killed by human action on Earth. Those spirits also depend on handouts for food either from the God grid or from those that give them. Every spirit that harvests food on Earth will give ten percent to the God grid via senior male spirits called primary protector or Olori egbe in Yoruba. Everybody have two primary protectors. Primary protectors are senior spirits whose last or current incarnation is male. They all have God like managerial ability and two Olori egbes on Earth will always resolve any difference they have amicably especially if both are also at the highest empathy rank.
The spirits without incarnation experience consume only fifteen percent of the food needed by spirits with incarnation experience.
There are six levels of empathy rank which reflects how you react to emergencies in others. The spirits at the highest level of empathy rank consume ten times the food that other spirits consume and when you plan and do evil you fall one step. When you fall from the last step, you stop incarnating as a human being, you pass out of civilization. There are eight levels of managerial ability. It determines how you fare when things are entrusted under your care. You get promoted in managerial ability by your two primary protectors. You are due for promotion after every three incarnation but you can get speed promotion too and getting to the top during one incarnation is not impossible. It is only the spirits at the top with God like managerial ability that can either enter the God grid of senior female spirits or the elite club of primary protectors of senior male spirits. There is actually no gender in heaven but they work in heaven according to the gender of their incarnation.
You are your spirit because the spirit determines your character, values, the things and people you like and etc. You can not remember your life in heaven because such information is of no use to you but you will have all the information you need from your past incarnations which will make your current incarnation easier because you are fighting the same battle and building the same things. I have for instance being able to establish that I am an incarnate of Orunmila the founder of IFA and that the penultimate incarnate died in 1946 in the person of late Herbert Olayinka Macaulay the founder of Nigerian nationalism who did not know he was an Orunmila incarnate. It is the same way for everybody. You are continuing the battle fought by your last incarnation. You are still the same person. Then you alternate between genders per incarnation if you have not reached the top of the ranking in managerial ability. Those people at the top are primary protectors and members of the God grid.

BusinessAn All Inclusive Employee Motivation System by lawani(op): 8:08am On Feb 12, 2025
An all inclusive employee motivation system.

It is wrong for any CEO to be paid higher than the leader of government business in the country. This is simply because the leader of government business is doing the most important work in the country and is leading the highest number of workers. There is need for decorum within any economic space.
Then even if there is going to be stock options for management, the management including the CEO should still sit atop the table of taxable wages in any corporation. That is a way the situation whereby some billionaires pay less tax than civil servants can be redressed easily. CEOs paying self one dollar per annum should be illegal.
Then the best way is for corporations to run an all inclusive motivation system for employees and not only for the CEO and/or top management.
Instead of stock options, jumbo pay for CEOs and etc, a corporation can just have a system whereby a percentage of profits will be shared to employees before dividends are paid to the shareholders and this money will then be shared amongst management and the rank and file of workers according to an agreed upon formula. There is no work post that does not require CEO level competence and it is for demonstrating this competence that workers are promoted. It is therefore not a good idea to leave the rank and file of workers out of any windfall that comes as a result of good business for a corporation.
PoliticsIs The West Rich?. by lawani(op): 8:56am On Feb 11, 2025
Is the West rich?

The west is not rich, it is just well organized. When you are well organized, you take from everybody to help everybody and that is what the west does. They take enough from income earners to make sure there is compulsory basic education for all children, healthcare for all and etc so that their HDI will be maintained high. If you manage what you have and take care of the people at the bottom first, then you will appear rich as a nation. This is what has become apparent since the end of the last great war.
It can be argued that countries are not necessarily richer than each other but there are things like dependency ratio, average age and etc that matter. All countries are filled up with teachers, doctors, plumbers, carpenters, farmers, business owners, investors, entertainers, taxi drivers, builders and etc. Roughly the same opportunities abound in all countries. A country with a lower dependency ratio will have a higher per capita income and etc. If your average age is a teen age then you will have a low per capita income as a nation.
There is no other way to maintain a high human development index where nobody at all is left behind than via taxation. If you do not make basic education high quality and compulsory, then huge swathes of your young people may not be able to even read and write and if universal health care is not funded, then the life expectancy will be low.
The west has led the world in all these for decades and nations that copied them have more than caught up.
However it may not be exactly right to say the west is rich. The average western nation is steeped in sovereign debt and their organized private sector is also steeped in debt. Credit flows from everywhere to the organized nations because they have platforms to receive it. They are not rich. They are just well organized and any nation could have done it. Some people even go farther down the wrong road by saying the west grew rich because of colonization!.
The challenge facing the west now is that it is becoming more difficult to take care of the people at the bottom first because the cost of living has gone through the roof and it is only high know how jobs and jobs that can not be exported that remain in western nations.

You can't be counting airport, seaport and bridge. Other places too have infrastructure. Lagos have had ports centuries before Nigeria. What is making Lagos continue the lead is mainly because the LASG have IGR. If any state take part of their GDP through taxation, they will be able to do big things too and some states are on the way there.

Christianity EtcWhy I Get Heartbroken When Traditional Spiritualities Are Classed As Religion by lawani(op): 9:54am On Feb 10, 2025
Why I feel heart broken when people classify all spiritualities together as religion.

It breaks my heart because to address the ills caused on Earth by Christianity and Islam, the two Spiritualities must be isolated but people keep lumping all spiritualities together as religion.
Judaism is a non invasive religion as against Christianity and Islam that are invasive but Judaism is violent as well, given its history. It is in its own special class as the parent of Islam and Christianity. Those two are trying to copy Judaism but Judaism does not go about trying to convert the whole world is the difference. Hinduism is the traditional spirituality of India and not a religion. To a Hindu, all the world’s cultures are Hindu. We are all Hindu apart from Christians and Muslims that are trying to convert the whole world. Infact Sai Baba of India predicted that by the year 2030 the whole world will be Hindu and the prediction will certainly come to pass. To a Yoruba doing Isese which is their traditional spirituality, the whole world is Isese including the Igbo Odinani, Hausa Maiguzuwa, the Japanese Shinto and etc. Infact, the literal meaning of Isese is ‘What we have been doing since we came into being’. It does not encompass only spirituality. The only outliers are Christianity and Islam and only them should bear the tag religion which is a word somehow synonymous with fascism.
Therefore to those who are fighting on the same side as I am, we have to isolate the toxic spiritualities by removing the label of religion on academic spiritualities that have no holy book or super human avatar. If it has no holy book that can not be peer reviewed and it has no super human avatar then it is compatible with human progress and it is not a religion. What needs to be banned from the public space are religions.
