Not sure if you are being disingenous, clueless or just stupid?

To "unify" is to make every rate the same value (i.e. no more official vs black market rate), while "floating" is how the CBN claimed it would be achieved.

"Stupid" is every Nigerian believing that things will get better with thieves in power,

They have control of majority of dollars including the ones not earned by the government which gives them room to manipulate the market added to their power to print any amount of currency. When the currency was floated the value rose but they manipulated with their power for a while for the exchange rate not to drop then they mass printed more naira to frustrate the masses so that it will look as if the stupid system of dual exchange rate is the best! The dual exchange rate is a major means of stealing money because as a government friend, you can make five hundred million dollars in a single day if you are rightly connected

oga lawani go to yaba left and get a check up becasue this your rambling is similar to the fairytale constructed and forged in a mind that is plagued with an acute form of skitzo.

I once knew a guy who said and believed vehemently that Celine Dion was his mother and he was abandoned at birth eventually we heard he was roaming the streets. I say this to you out of concern regardless of how you perceive it... If you don't take anything from my interaction with you, just take this if you like, your write up sounds too good to even be imaginable than to be true and you know when people hear or come across information that sounds like yours it usually points to some mental problems.

You will eventually die of mental problems even sooner than I intended if you don't get off my mentions.

If you don't engage in massive naira printing then the nites in circulation will be reducing from loss and etc and the value will continue rising steeply! You are of course free to print but there is no need to manipulate people with flowery words. Why also are people not allowed to receive dollars from abroad without inhibition?. Is their own legitimate earnings not their property again? Kindly allow people to receive dollars from abroad and change it at their convenience because any other way is tyranny. God bless

My war with the Adeboye led RCCG.

A PhD thesis is not a war because academic thesis are not for victories but for human advancement and this is why it can not be said that I started this war that I am currently in. My poems, I would rather burn in hell and Blown by bias were not aggressive, they were at the most satirical for the former and observatory or so for the latter. The aggressive or assaultive poems came after I had been informed that Enoch Adeboye and David Oyedepo had sent hired assassins after me. Enoch Adeboye therefore started the war. A PhD thesis in form of a poem is not a war. It is just an insight, something that can clear the way in a field of human endeavour. Enoch Adeboye and his RCCG therefore started the war and he was reinforced by David Oyedepo at the head of his Winners Chapel (Living Faith Church). A friend, John Audu of Eke Avrugo, Kogi state that refused to execute a contract to kill me was personally axed to death by Enoch Adeboye while a team of assassins contracted by David Oyedepo were massacred by people in my support. Enoch Adeboye and Rihanna joined hands to kill Richard Donald of Abia state who was provisioned to poison me according to his own suggestion. He died the death he planned for me as a result of wanting to extract more money from his sponsors even as his operation was not successful. The war was started by Enoch Adeboye himself when he rushed to the Catholic church to secure the go ahead or approval to remove the threat I am posing on social media once and for all. After getting this approval, he proceeded to approach a juju man to run me mad so that I can be removed from circulation and his spiritual rape of the millions of his unsuspecting victims can continue without inhibition. He drew the first blood as a result of my online activity and it did not surprise the CIA that were anticipating such a move and for which reason President George H W Bush had betrothed his first granddaughter Barbara Bush junior to me to help me win when Enoch Adeboye assured my parents in 2000 that he would make me born again before the internet was even invented. Barbara was contacting me via pseudo IDs as soon as there was Yahoo mail and as soon as I joined Facebook, her Dad was communicating with me as Mr George an elderly American based in Nigeria. When Enoch Adeboye approached the juju man, Mr George stopped contacting me and that was during the time of President Yaradua. The CIA got the Russians involved more or less from the onset but approached the Chinese when Enoch Adeboye approached his juju man. They also approached the Indians later and then nation after nation. It resulted in an array of military formations on my side and that of Enoch Adeboye who started the war. He was the first to draw a weapon and also to use a weapon and it did not surprise the CIA or the Ogboni that reported him to the CIA. He was allowed to have his fill of running me mad and the war is still on till today. However whatever begins in evil anger will always ever end in shame. A man that has been on death row since 1988 when he started using human beings for rituals want to go down in history as the holiest man that ever lived. He started the war after he tried to use Charles Kpandei to convince me to stop publishing online and I saw no reason to, he then directed Charles Kpandei to insult me which did not bother me, he then went for broke by approaching his juju man. We have been in the war since before 2009 when he used Tola Ekunsanmi his best soldier to submit character assassination videos of myself to the Nigerian DSS. He has invited overdue fire on himself and his RCCG and he can not be saved from that and people led by a fool will also reap a part of the reward of their leader's foolishness. The RCCG as an organisation will pay for Enoch Adeboye's foolishness. The children of a fool will not prosper. The video war started fourteen years ago while the juju war started earlier. The end of the whole thing can be easily deciphered by any onlooker.

Till then. I can conviniently convince you that wicked people don't die before their time. They live long to perpetuate their wickedness. Many examples abound in the scriptures and in this contemporary life.

Some die young, for example armed robbers, bank robbers etc but the con men among them might live old but they will also die a gruesome death. Who wants or plans to die a gruesome death?.

May his soul rest in perfect peace. I am researching something. Who knows the word for death or to die in Igala language?.

Righthussle:
His point is that organised Religion is bad for humanity.

It is just a history of religion so that we know how we got to where we are now. Religion whether organized, disorganized or private is bad for humanity and by religion I mean Christianity and Islam. Other theologies are harmless human traditions

A short history of religion

What Jews practice is a national tradition similar to what ancient Zoroastrians used to practice but ultimately descended from Egypt. Jesus Christ who was a Jew and a self declared but unrecognized Messiah or prophet for the Jews did not start a religion. He was not even on talking terms with any Gentile talk less of wanting or trying to convert them to any theology or religion and the main person that kicked off Christianity by starting to admit Gentiles into the new sect of Judaism kicked off after the exit of Jesus Christ was Apostle Paul who never met Jesus Christ in person but he may not be the only one. That was the beginning of religion. It was an accident of history. The hitherto Jewish sect was named Christians by Grecian people in Antioch because they were all people of piety and the concept of Christ was a Grecian concept depicting a perfect son of God. The early Christians were pacifists, they were also communists for sharing belongings among themselves and a group much similar to them nowadays are the Jehovah Witnesses. They believed what they were preaching and that is the reason they had some success over the long term and gradually elites of the Roman empire that used to persecute them were being converted to the religion. Christianity is the first theology with an attitude. A know it all as well as a condescending attitude towards fellow human beings. Many of them were martyred for their beliefs but it continued to spread and eventually Emperor Constantine of Rome got converted as a result of winning a war after being prayed for by a Christian leader. Christianity became the religion of Rome and the once pacifist Christians gained ascendancy and transmogrified into the Catholic church. The day of worship was changed to Sunday and the name of the savior changed to Jesus Christ and several European concepts like holidays and etc were added to Christianity to make it European. There were however many Christian sects doing their thing as far south as Iraq, Ethiopia and maybe as far south as Nigeria over centuries. Their leaders in the Roman empire later got together to harmonize their teachings at the council of Nice and agreed that Jesus Christ and the father should be portrayed as one essence and therefore Jesus is God and the Holy spirit is another department of God. Thus was the concept of the trinity berthed but there were still Christian sects in Arab lands out of Roman or Catholic reach that were outside the immediate reach of Rome and one of these would be the one that converted Mohammed to accept the beliefs of Christianity like the prophet status of Jesus Christ as well as his virgin birth as both tales were only being spread by Christians back then. Jews till today do not accept any of the claims. To them, Jesus was born out of wedlock to Pantheras a Roman soldier and he was not a Prophet or messiah but an apostate or heretic for declaring himself King of the Jews, greater than David, Abraham etc and at par with God. Mohammed therefore listened to the Christians and created his own version of Christianity as did the Mormons, the JW and hundreds of others centuries later. There is no difference. They did this because the normal tendency or inbuilt attribute of human beings is to innovate and no threat in any holy book can be able to actually end innovation and reduce human beings to proper zombies. Since then the wild fire of religion has continued spreading not much different from the wild fire of Marxism that sought to end the private ownership of all means of production or even property. The arguments of Marxism however is sounder than the arguments of religion ie Christianity and Islam. Religion did not introduce non idolatrous worship because we have always had non idolators on Earth in every culture but they were not belligerent against polytheists or idolators and etc. The belligerence, mind manipulation, violence, murder, rape, arson, bigotry, hate and etc in the name of God are all innovations of religion. A religion is a bad programming or bad culture similar to a viral attack on a computer. That is the short history of religion and as at July 25 2023 AD, it is still spreading. None of the two religions is more dangerous than the other.

Do you own a business and how many are working with you?
Some of you will just open mouth here and just talk like ... I don't know sef

You lack basic common sense. How much is 1k in today's Nigeria?.

Nononsense247:
You currently how much you dey give government everyday .. Nigeria national yearly budget should be at least $700b ... Many of you don't know how much should run a country as big as Nigeria

Don't you know the meaning of average?. It means some may pay 200 while some pay 50k but average will be over 1k easily. 700 billion dollars is too high because that is worth up to 30 trillion dollars in Nigeria if not more than.

We do. That is why this guy got one life inprisonment for one rape he was caught.
https://www.nairaland.com/7773592/37-yr-old-man-raped-4-yr-old-girl

How many would he get if he was caught for 4 rapes? This is where God is God and therefore He can give the necessary just is.

So this is just you wishing you will not be punished like a yahoo boy wishing no prison.

Anybody punishing infinitely for a finite offense is wrong and it is a fault in civilization which can be corrected. However putting someone in prison to restrict movement is a far cry from hell fire of religion. It is far removed from it but I agree unjust laws exist and the example you stated is one of them. Life prison however ends when life ends but life prison is too harsh for rape.

If you call people for free food after preparing sumptuous meals are you to blame when some stubborn ones are dying of hunger?

Just don't describe God as not liking people because of unbelief of fables, then God's name is different in different languages just like the name of every other thing is different. You can't appropriate God to any particular culture as they all have names and titles to describe that same entity

Aemmyjah:
He should discard the source of knowledge and tell you his own philosophy?

When you believe a book any book at all to be holy, then you are already on a wrong footing. Absolute truth does not exist. The only absolute law is be fair to others and fight evil doers

Aemmyjah:
Including the sun and moon right?
Are humans not nobler than the sun?
There are animals that even live longer than us
Yet we are most intelligent, we have this awareness, consciousness and longing to live forever and to see the sun and moon and to enjoy the environment
Science have for long to experimenting an immortal drug and I'm sure if you had the chance, you'll buy it but it will be very expensive but like you said, it is very unlikely they will. It will even cause chaos cos it's the bad that will get it more than the good

How much more the source of life giving and extending this gift free to all obedient mankind
Do you think the angels (if you believe they exists) are tired of living and will want to just die? No. They have meaningful work in a peaceful and beautiful environment
Same thing will happen to us here on Earth

The sun will die after it's supernova and Earth too will die even before the sun dies, Earth will become inhabitable and that happens periodically when ice covers the Earth driving out life, it will then recede again in a cycle of life and death. The moon has no living thing on it, so it is not living, nor producing energy like the sun, it is just an object in space

MaxInDHouse:
You don't know what PUNISHMENT means!

Because if you're calling your children to come and eat only those that responded will be fed the ones ignoring your call will surely go hungry not so?

You and i haven't seen any God before so what we are discussing now has to do with deep thoughts regarding someone we haven't seen physically but then we can both figure out His attributes by reasoning on what is just.

My God explained how the earth came to be and how suffering began then He goes further to reveal His plans to restore sanity on the planet, He is sending His worshipers to go and meet people in their homes to explain to them what He is planning to do. Matthew 10:11-13; 28:19-20
Yours have nothing to do other than you must worship now you've heard about mine and His plans so what is stopping you from embracing the God whose plans makes sense to you?

It's either you support His plans now so that He will remember you when He's rewarding those that served Him during the restoration of sanity on planet earth or you stick to your God.

Presently angels are penning down the names of those preaching zealously and industriously teaching throughout the earth about the Kingdom of our God and the names of those responding to the call {Malachi 3:16} so whoever is not found in that document will die and never be remembered! Revelations 20:15

The two books i quoted above significantly are ends of two eras:
Malachi is the last book of the Old Covenant.
Revelations is the last of the New Covenant.

Both books testify that names of respondents are penned down by angels so during the time to reward those that heed the call only those whose names are found will benefit. Nobody can say that's unjust!

When talking about God, first thing is to discard holy books. God's name is different in every language but refers to the same person. I mean the closest thing to holy books are PhD thesis and such thesis are regularly discredited as knowledge is being updated. Therefore the greatest threats to civilization are holy books ie Bible and Quran. The only law of God is be fair to others, then fight evil doers. No traditional theology is wrong and it is wrong to say God is using other means to choose people as favourites

Nononsense247:
Qatar that got barely 3m population... Nigeria needs other sources and start producing... Nigerias population can't survive on oil alone not possible but many don't know.... Anyone driving this nation now or later na serious work e go do

What is the work there? You can collect an average of 1000 per day from each citizen and that is like 200 billion naira which is almost 500 million dollars every day even as the country is presently

MaxInDHouse:
What punishment again?

People of all kinds are dying and my God said He will remember those that are faithful to Him by resurrecting them back to life! Job 14:13-15

All you need to do is call upon your own God to reward you my own God is only FAITHFUL to those that are FAITHFUL to Him! Exodus 20:6

Not benefitting from your so called eternal life is punishment and if you keep repeating it, it will continue causing division that is best done away with. Only things academically defensible should be preached as absolute truth because so many people are very impressionable and anything being constantly repeated will continue gaining ground. God should always be described as just and fair. He has no holy book.

MaxInDHouse:
The Bible God created man in His own image {Genesis 1:26-28} that means Adam and His descendants supposed to be alive today we're to continue celebrating our achievements God ordered us to subdue the planet so instead of dying and passing the continuity of what we discovered.
So ọmọ do not be surprised we can live forever when Jehovah remove death completely! Isaiah 25:8 compare to Revelations 21:3-5

JEHOVAH promised to gather obedient mankind under one umbrella {Isaiah 2:2-3} they will agree among themselves to do away with hatred, weapons and wars {Isaiah 2:4} they will speak as if they're from the same tribe {Zephaniah 3:9} God promised to call them by another group name when all these things are coming to pass {Isaiah 65:15} and today a global family of peace loving worshipers has sufficed despite being imperfect like all others instead of bearing the usual common religious name "CHRISTIANS" they're known globally as JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES and everyone can see them doing the work Jesus commissioned in the first century and there is LOVE, JOY and PEACE permeating their gathering {John 13:34-35} just as Jesus prayed for them to have the same line of thought! John 17:22

If all these are being fulfilled today ọmọ there's nothing impossible for that God to achieve! Matthew 19:26

So wait and see another fulfilment of God's word regarding His worshipers:

“Happy are you when people reproach you and persecute you and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake. Rejoice and be overjoyed, since your reward is great in the heavens, for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to you". Matthew 5:11-12

Despite the fact that only this group speaks about love for neighbours and fellow believers while others often kill not just other religionists but members of their own religion in the face of politics and racism yet Jehovah's Witnesses are been accused of being a cult! Matthew 10:25

I was born by a religiously divided home my mum a traditionalists (ifá) but after marrying dad she converted to Islam so i have access to both ifá and Islam (though i never took any of them seriously) yet even those claiming Christians carrying the Bible without loving their neighbours as Jesus commanded also call Jehovah's Witnesses "CULT" just as Jesus said they will do to his true disciples.

Everything just happened exactly as written in a book as old as 2000 years ago!

And those who don't believe the Bible and call God Jehovah will not partake of all that?. They will cease to exist?. Those who will go to heaven, is it with this our type of body?. Define heaven. A God that punishes people for doing no wrong, for following their brains, is that a virtuous God?. The premise of the JW argument is very faulty and it is a real danger despite their non violence. It is a very dangerous ideology

All this your pointless arguments, do you think it is a surprise to God?. God knows it is in your character and knows what can make you quieten and knows if you will never quieten up because he has had you on surveillance from the beginning. Nothing you do will ever take God by surprise

According to scientists the cells in human body always replace themselves with new ones so that at a point in time humans can stop aging if nothing happens to our body cells but they can't just explain why we begin aging growing weaker and weaker until we expire.
Note that people lived longer before our generation and lifespan keep decreasing faster now so that people aren't expected to be healthy after 90 whereas people before do live 180-190 years.

Do you know why?

Well the Bible revealed that the first set of humans lived over 900 years! Genesis 5:5, 8, 11, 14, 20, 27

Of course you will find it really difficult to believe this but ever since mankind can't get life preserving food like what God created in Eden we have continued to grow weaker and weaker and life expectancy keep dropping till today.

So if the God who revealed to us what really happened that caused aging say:

And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of its main street. On both sides of the river were trees of life producing 12 crops of fruit, yielding their fruit each month. And the leaves of the trees were for the healing of the nations! Revelations 22:1-2

Remember what He said in the first Bible book:

“Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad. Now in order that he may not put his hand out and take fruit also from the tree of life and eat and live forever" Genesis 3:22

So He knows what our body needs so that we will continue to glow as youths forever {Job 33:25} without aging! Psalms 37:29

Longer lifespan definitely possible but immortality is unlikely. For what purpose?. All things die

I Know your problem you can't come to the reality that an omniscient being can grant free will and still be omniscient you also forget this God is all powerful. I asked chatgpt that question hear is it's answer.

God's Omniscience and Free Will

User
Can God grant freewill and still be omniscient

ChatGPT
The relationship between free will and omniscience has been a subject of philosophical and theological debate for centuries. The question of whether God can grant free will and still be omniscient is known as the problem of divine foreknowledge and human free will.

Omniscience means having complete and perfect knowledge of all things, including past, present, and future. If God is omniscient, it would mean that God knows everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen, including all our choices and actions.

Free will, on the other hand, refers to the ability of individuals to make choices and decisions that are not determined by external factors or predestined events. It implies that individuals have the power to choose between different courses of action.

The apparent conflict arises when considering the idea that if God already knows everything that will happen in the future, then our choices and actions might seem predetermined, and thus free will could be called into question.

Several philosophical and theological positions have been proposed to address this problem:

Predestination: Some religious traditions propose the idea of predestination, wherein God's omniscience means that He knows all future events, including our choices, and these events are already preordained or predetermined. In this view, free will coexists with God's omniscience, but our choices are still known in advance.

Open Theism: Open theism suggests that God has chosen not to know the future choices of individuals to preserve human free will. In this view, God's omniscience is limited to what is knowable, and the future, being undetermined, remains open.

Middle Knowledge: This concept, proposed by Luis de Molina, suggests that God has "middle knowledge," which allows Him to know what individuals would freely choose under any given circumstance. In this way, God's omniscience includes knowledge of all possible choices without determining the actual choices.

Compatibilism: Some philosophers argue that free will and determinism (or predestination) can coexist. They define free will as the ability to act according to one's desires and beliefs, even if those desires and beliefs are causally determined. In this view, free will is compatible with God's omniscience, as God's knowledge of our choices is a result of knowing our causal dispositions.

It's essential to recognize that this is a complex and ongoing philosophical and theological debate, and there is no universally accepted answer. The concept of God's omniscience and its relationship with free will is deeply intertwined with various religious beliefs and philosophical perspectives. Different religious traditions and scholars may have varying interpretations of these concepts.

T

If a cutlass is thrown 200 times, it will always land on the flatside. All things being equal, the choice of a human being will NEVER change. Middle Knowledge is the most valid proposition. A murderer will murder again. A cheater will cheat again. A thief will steal again. If placed under the same exact circumstance. What caused it the first time will cause it again the second time.

Maynman:
Did you read the chatgpt you sent?
“ Omniscience means having complete and perfect knowledge of all things, including past, present, and future.If God is omniscient, it would mean that God knows everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen, including all our choices and actions.”

Your choice can never surprise someone who knows your character but your character was chosen by you and not by God. Your definition of omniscience is right and God is omniscient.

Maynman:
But he does not know exactly the path i will take, right?
How then does he know the end?
According to you, He only knows possible circumstances that will happen in the end, but he doesn’t know what the end will be.

That’s not Omniscience and there is nothing wrong in that, you can be omnipotent and not be omniscience.

Your chatgpt did you read it before posting?😂😂

He knows the end from the beginning but how many steps between the beginning and the end he may not know. He is also omnipotent

Maynman:
An omniscience god doesn’t work with “if”, it’s planned already to the end before you were born. Look up the definition of “omniscience”.
Keep living in denial.

Let me use an analogy. Behavior analysts are omniscient so far what you will do next is concerned. They are amoranbinioyo. What you will do next is determined by your character which can NEVER change and that character was chosen by you. Your ayanmo can not be altered. The CIA are behavior analysts which makes them omniscient so far what who is under their surveillance will do next is concerned. Therefore God is omniscient like the CIA and it does not affect freewill at all. That is the issue

Lawag3:
Nope accepting Jesus was born by a virgin doesn't make Mohammed a Christian he says Jesus isn't God that's denying Jesus Christ power.

My guy I don't mean to insult you but it's is a well Know fact that Mohammed was not a Christian it is know by secular historians and everyone saying this implies that you can't find anything wrong with Christianity itself that's why you have to say it's the same with Islam just to discredit it. Even though you know that it's not. You are better than this.😔

Jesus Christ did not become the God of Christians immediately. At first different preachers were preaching a variety of doctrines and a conference had to be called to harmonize the teachings. That was the council of Nice. It was at that conference that Jesus was made God. Obviously some other sects preached their own doctrine to Mohammed and it stuck. Accepting Jesus as a prophet and believing the virgin birth means you were converted by a Christian sect and there were many and there are still many today. Mohammed obviously was a Christian and Islam another sect of Christianity. Note that Jews see Jesus not as a prophet but as a criminal
