Before modern drugs found their way to Africa, our fathers used herbs to prevent and cure diseases. Don't rubbish what has worked for millenia.

And are you even sure that some drugs are extracted from plants?

Apt. Which was why they had long average life spans of 25 - 40, had very low infant mortality, very low deaths from diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, small pox, cholera, polio and other infections so much so there was no need for vaccines and antibiotics. Right?! Holy confirmation bias.

That's a python non venomous its common you see them in some villages and the people know its not harmful to them so they pick it up. Make she see black Mamba or King Cobra handle am like that first.

Facts. But despite been non-venomous all that's needed is one wrong move and it gets a grip around her legs and it's finshed. Seen a woman that was swallowed whole by one in SA.

People often underestimate that trauma victims of armed robbery, highjack, kidnapping and other vices, go through.

For some, they become hypertensive or mentally unstable, BP, becoming chronic diabetic for missing their drugs.

Criminals need to be ended(kpai) immediately they are caught!

Apt. We ignore the mental health aspects way too much. These guys just got a strong dose of PTSD. There was a time a single robber tried to break into a house I was staying, cause they felt no one was home - I was the only one around in the whole compound and was asleep.

He didn't succeed cause I shouted and he ran away but do you know for the next 2 weeks, once I'm asleep and hear any sound I'd jolt from sleep with fear, loud noises even when awake immediately made me concerned and I'd start looking around with my heart racing faster than a horse.

Now that's minor compared, so imagine how these guys are messed up in their head right now with no mental health evaluation to help them bounce back.

This is a powerful reminder. Many of us spend years chasing survival and forget that time is the one asset we can never recover.
Focus from merely existing to living with purpose, impact, and intention. At the end of the day, what truly matters is not how busy we were, but the lives we touched and the legacy we leave behind. Well written.


But this philosophy doesn't fully fit the African reality. In developed countries, people can afford to spend time searching for purpose because many basic needs are already met. In Africa, millions are still fighting for food, shelter, security, healthcare, and quality education.

Telling a struggling father of four to focus on legacy instead of survival sounds good on paper, but survival itself is his legacy. Many Africans are not "preparing to live"; they are doing everything possible to stay alive and give their children a better chance. Before meaning comes opportunity, and before purpose comes stability.

And to add to that, even the whole idea and talk of legacy and all that, I feel, is often a futile and egoistic attempt to somehow outlive time. That legacy, name, and impact will be washed away by the sands of time as well. 99.99% of so-called legacies will be forgotten, just as the people themselves are forgotten. Eventually everything would be gone.

Out of the hundreds of millions who lived even 100 years ago, how many of their names are remembered today, let alone their legacies? The average human lifespan doesn't even register as a dot on the timescale of the universe—75 years compared to 13.8 billion.

Genuine altruism doesn't concern itself with legacy, because legacy, like life itself, is fleeting. Do good because it is good. Help others because it is the right thing to do, not because your name might survive a little longer in people's memories.

Just live your life the best way you see fit and do what you believe is right, not because of recognition, legacy, or the desire to be remembered, because those too will eventually vanish like everything else. Life is beautiful because it's fleeting.

It isn't about illiteracy, if you experience it, you would believe it is spiritual.

It is stark illiteracy and ignorance, no offense. I've experienced this mutliple times, at a point in time it became so frequent I was like wtf, did the whole ignorant bible under pillow and pray thing, it was still happening. Decided to do some research around it and with the simple research I did, like what this article highlights I, found the solution.

I was working on a serious project then that left me physically exhausted everyday. On top of the stress I was always thinking anxiously about work, so was finding it difficult to fall asleep coupled with using my phone late into the night. On top of all that even when I managed to fall asleep noise from the next compound always wakes me up in the middle of the night before I struggle to sleep again.

So I wasn't sleeping well at all and I had to wake up as early as 5. When it happened again I just waited patiently for it to pass by being calm instead of struggling. Took a break from work to rest, bought noise cancelling headphones, stopped sleeping on my back and using my phone before bed time. Then made sure I got 8hrs of sleep. This was more than 5yrs ago, till date I haven't had one experience with it.

When they say "ignorance is a disease", there's a reason why we are so backward from the rest of the world. Educate urself, it's is no way vague. Your brain never sleeps, to prevent you from acting out your dreams, it disconnects movement of the body, unfortunately sometimes you wake up before movement is connected back while you're transitioning from sleep to wake ergo sleep paralysis.

The opposite happens too when movement of the body is not disconnected. You see them talking in their sleep or walking while they're sleeping, some even go to the kitchen eat and forget they ever did. You see this in dogs a lot when theyrr dreaming and trying to run as they're asleep. People fear what they don't understand, as of today, the supernatural still has a 100% failure rate.

SyrusdeHansome:
Don't worry, when you have the experience first hand you'll know there's nothing like sleep paralysis. Science think everything can be explained on the basis of observation and theory. I've seen someone confess of how he was fun of pressing pple in their sleep and as someone that use to have the experience almost every night nobody can ever tell me I was experiencing sleep paralysis.

Ignorance is pressing this one 🤣

This reminds me of STEP study (“Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer”), one of the largest controlled studies on prayer which involved about 1,800 cardiac bypass patients. They found no measurable healing effect from prayer, and the group that was being prayed for had more complications lol. There's a reason miracles rely heavily on ambiguity and are indistinguishable from coincidence.

DeepSight:
LUCI FIRE !!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

Lol! I had to ask bro.

femi4:
Did you watch the last moon exploration

There was a god up there? News to me, so which of em does any science point to?

Freshtruth:
HIV na child play when it comes to cancer

Bro up till now the white can not find a cure for HIV and cancer

Since I was born been hearing of both sickness but no cure
So what is the encessnce of been a scientist what is the use of drugs and operations?

Some body discovered electricity, somebody discover cars and so on

Why is it taking 100 of years to look for a drugs that can cure cancer and hiv

Elon musk's is the only human fighting to make a difference

This kind of comment reinforces that this place collectively has it's IQ lowered everyday.

jaephoenix:
Which science?
You christians would wake up and be feeding yourselves with lies

A very advanced form of science called Pseudo.

femi4:
Yes....even science point to the direction that God exist

Which of the gods does any science point to? Stop the cap.

jesusjnr2020:
Nothing is impossible with God.

Except getting his followers to agree on an objective interpretation of what he is and what he wants. That one is rocket science.

Doyou2019:
We need a bit of craft to unlock Burnley who might want to sit back.

Gyok isn't gonna give you that.

Yeah I get that but there's a lot of creatots in there especially with 2 attacking 8's in Eze and Ode that can feed him, plus prev lineup has been perf. Let's see how it goes 🤞🏾

Good lineup but why the heck is Havertz starting.

LordReed:
Which part is unprovable, the radioactive decay?

First, you don't usually use carbon dating for samples older than 50,000 years. For such samples you use MULTIPLE methods (such as Potassium-Argon (K-Ar) dating and Uranium-Lead (U-Pb) dating) to get a more accurate time fix.

The elements used in dating are not stuff that has undergone chemical bonding reactions, if it has then it wouldn't be the same element would it? What chemical reactions retard or speed up radioactivity?

I find it interesting you're backing up a standard of scrutiny which they don't hold themselves to. For all of the extra ordinary claims, all you get is "the bible says" and when they try to imitate the standard with pseudo-science, you get nonsenses like "aquatic live fossils". The hypocrisy is way too glaring.

FlipModeSquade:
Why don't you go right ahead and explain to us like we babies what sin means?

A Christian telling someone he's dvmb for holding an opinion is comedy central stuffs.😂

They seem to love irony. Saw this same person make another comment on a diff thread that - carbon dating, they called it "dating" - makes no sense. This is someone that thinks bronze age illiterate men, in one of the most primitive parts of the world - that barely understood how the world works and make claims like the "sun stood still" - are the ones with truth about objective reality. Apparently taking myths as facts is what people that aren't dumb do.

Ebenezer2021:
Rabies is real.
When dogs bite you and it's left untreated you'll bark like a dog and die instantly.
But we dey use dog take do suya here in Uyo

Jesus wept. Where have you seen anyone infected with rabies bark like a dog? Or do you think only dogs get rabid. So if a rabid monkey bites and infects a person, he/she'd bark like a dog or screech like a monkey? Educate us.

We will do all of them, if your wife or god crosses our path, we will sleep with them too

CharlotteFlair:
Oh no! You just cared so much about what triggers me moments ago 🤣

You care mahn! You really do! 🤡

This one has his wires crossed, only you quoted me out of the blue, now forcing me to care. Ok I care, I care that you choose a first century apocalyptic prophet crucified as a common criminal. Told you I'd do better 😌 So what prize does my caring get me?

CharlotteFlair:
I choose Jesus Christ over Lucifer any day any time. Can't you see?

Oh my bad, didn't realise I was meant to care about the choices of some random nobody on the internet, I'd do better next time 👊🏽

CharlotteFlair:
Just like your existence? 🤡🤡

This one is already triggered fighting for Jesus. 😄

CharlotteFlair:
Jesus Christ himself was mocked by your kind, so it's nothing new and nobody cares what you think.

Baseless stories.

Nastrademus:
Watch as data boys will insult Christianity now

Like christianity needs any extra help making a mockery of itself lol.

You only need common sense to see the shroud is a joke taken too far. A 3d object transfers perfectly detailed imprints and outlines to a 2d object wrapped around it. Its not smudged or distorted around the contours and where it presses against the body, nothing just perfect transfer of a person that was supposedly tortured, forgetting even the injuries and blood flow would be inconsistent, not to talk of the hair.

Then it just happens to show the silhouette of a european man even though its meant to be some guy from the middle east? This is not even considering that the linen cloths used to wrap the bodies then were multiple and seperate as stated in John_ that there's even a seperate relic claiming to be the head covering. The shroud is as nonsensical as it gets.

Breaker001:
You will see that every word I have spoken on you will stand, and you shall be saved 😎

Famous last words of a blind man. Don't forget olanzapine. At least we would add the useless "prophesy" to the pile of failed prophecies from the failed apocalyptic prophet you worship.

Breaker001:
Do yourself a huge favor and save my words on you in your email. Because truly I say to you, you will need it in the nearest future as your reference point 😎

Do yourself a favour and locate the nearest pysche ward to help with your delulu instead of looking for who will save your meaningless ramblings. I recommend you start with Olanzapine.

Breaker001:
And you will be tied down by the same "mental slavery" whether you believe it or not. This is as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. Screenshot this and save it, for it shall come to pass that you will despice the same moniker you know yourself for; and you will regret you ever named yourself by that moniker. The LORD see you through 😎

This is what they call Delulu+. I'd suggest you seek a psychiatrist quickly, your rope is short. 🤡

It's 2026, if you still believe in any of all these myopic superstitions, a clear mental evaluation is needed.

Breaker001:
Looking at your moniker, I can only say I pity you. But your time for redemption will soon come. VERY SOON. 😎

Coming from the person tied down in mental slavery. Ironic.
