The war is not against Bonafide journalists but against pseudo journalists with no credential nor integrity, but rather using their online access to spread rumors, lies and innuendos to blackmail people.
Even so, is that the proper manner to fight pseudo journalists?

And the country that ban it internet isn't working over there?
What he means is that you can't truly stop people from trading crypto, if you ban it, people will just go through the apian way. So the only surefire way to stop crypto is to shutdown the internet.

Not studying hard enough. I was complacent, probably still. Never studied until I had an exam time table. That cost me some precious marks. I could have made 1st class but I didn't study hard enough. I had the potential energy but didn't kinetise it enough. I knew I could never fail an exam but I missed out on top grades that I should have gotten. Graduated with 2.1 but I regret not doing what I should have done. It would have definitely set me up for better opportunities.
Same thing with me, although mine was worse as I graduated with 2.2. I was very depressed about not graduating with at least 2.1.

Business / Re: Opay, Palmpay, Others Warn Customers Against Crypto Trading by MichaelBlake40: 2:20pm On May 04
NinjaMetahuman:
crypto increases demand for dollars tho.

Demand for dollars is the reason for scarcity.
When demand is higher than supply, its a problem.

People who don't used to care about dollars now do because they want to trade in crypto.
You don't have to farm or produce anything tangible, you just need stay in your room trading without providing value to bring in dollars and you may even lose all that money to foreign countries without bringing anything back to Nigeria Interms of dollar value.


Government will not throw magic wand to start producing, it starts with citizens producing stuff for export and being productive instead of staying behind phone trading crypto and foreign betting and putting pressure on naira by demanding dollars all the time.

All we have to demand is enabling environment.
It seems you don't know the difference between USD and USDT

Idaytesj29:


I agree that war is war, but this genocide because the other side is not allowed to fight the war. Allow the Palestinians to have rights to and access to war weapons too, allow them foreign supports as Israel gets from US, allow a level killing fields, then that's war. This one is not war.
Who told you that they aren't being allowed to fight? Bro, those guys carried out the October 7th attack not being sufficiently prepared for the results. The leaders of Hamas haven't provided them with enough weapons and artillery to successfully overcome Israel. In terms of foreign support, the Palestinian Arabs have their fellow Arab brothers in other countries yet none aside from Iran is showing some level of support for this war.
Besides, war is not a matter of "rights", in a war one is not entitled to anything.

I think women feel this way more than men do, because we have been mostly sold a pipe dream (as women) that marriage and kids bring joy and fufilment. And without these things we will be forever doomed, unhappy and unfulfilled.

So, what do most of us do? We actively pursue this dream or mirage of bliss and fulfilment only to get it, then realize, we are not bursting with joy, we are not happy or fulfilled, like we were told we would be.

Then we want out, but we are afraid of what people will say, the stigma of divorce or being called a bad mother who cannot endure for the sake of her children.

I strongly agree.

Religion / Re: Should A Born Again Christian Involve In Active Politics? by MichaelBlake40: 6:17pm On Sep 20, 2020
linearity:


Donald Trump born again Christian, has the admission criteria fallen to that level?

What would Jesus say? “The woman you are currently with is not thy wife, for your wife is still alive” A man who is currently and actively cheating on his wife while she still alive with a third lady and even admitted publicly that, he does not confess sins, because he does not sin...can you become a Christian without the confession of your sins, asking for a friend.

A serial liar and a serial womanizer is born again now, I have to check what book of the Bible where that is written.

Religion / Re: Should A Born Again Christian Involve In Active Politics? by MichaelBlake40: 6:16pm On Sep 20, 2020
kroxkontry:
Let me reference Jesus as a role model why Christian are not suppose to be involved in politics:

PICTURE a scene from the year 32 C.E. It is late in the day. Jesus, the foretold Messiah, has already won great renown for healing the sick and even resurrecting the dead. Today, he has awed a crowd of thousands by performing powerful signs and by sharing teachings of God. Now he divides the hungry people into smaller groups. He prays to God and miraculously feeds them all. Then, to avoid waste, he collects the leftovers. How do the people react?​—John 6:1-13.

Well, after seeing Jesus’ miracles and his skillful leadership in managing the crowds and caring for their needs, the people conclude that Jesus would be a perfect king. (John 6:14) Their response is not surprising. Remember that they were desperate for a good, effective ruler; their beloved homeland was under the oppressive rule of a foreign power. So they put direct pressure on Jesus to join in the political process. With that background in mind, consider his reaction.

“Jesus, knowing they were about to come and seize him to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain all alone,” says John 6:15. Jesus’ stand could hardly have been more decisive. He resolutely refused to get involved in the politics of his homeland. His stand never changed. He said that his followers were to take the same position. (John 17:16) Why did he take this stand?

Why Did Jesus Choose Neutrality?

Jesus’ neutrality regarding the politics of this world was well-grounded in Scriptural principles. Consider just two.

1.
“Man has dominated man to his injury.”

(Ecclesiastes 8:9) That is how the Bible sums up the history of human rule. Remember, Jesus existed as a spirit in heaven long before he came to earth as a man. (John 17:5) He thus knew that man, however well-meaning, lacks the ability to care properly for the needs of billions of people; nor was he created by God to do so. (Jeremiah 10:23) Jesus knew that the solution to mankind’s problems lay elsewhere​—not in human governments.

2
“The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19)

Do you find that statement startling? Many do. They think of sincere people who get involved in government because they want to make the world a better, safer place. Try as they might, though, even the most sincere rulers cannot overcome the influence of the one whom Jesus called “the ruler of this world.” (John 12:31; 14:30) That is why Jesus said to one worldly politician: “My kingdom is no part of this world.” (John 18:36) Jesus was the prospective King of God’s heavenly government. Had Jesus mixed in politics, he would have sacrificed his loyalty to his Father’s government.

Did Jesus teach, then, that his followers have no obligation to earthly governments? On the contrary, he taught them how to find the right balance between their responsibilities toward God and their obligations toward secular governments.

Jesus Respected Governmental Authority
