Emperor Julian the Apostate
LIFE: AD 332 – 363
Flavius Magnus Magnentius - "Julian the Apostate"
Name: Flavius Magnus Magnentius
Born in AD 332 at Constantinople.
Became emperor in February AD 360.
Died in Mesopotamia on 26 June AD 363.

Two thousand years ago, 967 Jewish men, women, and children reportedly chose to take their own lives rather than suffer enslavement or death at the hands of the Roman army. They were the last holdouts of the First Jewish Revolt against Rome, which had ended officially three years earlier, in 70 CE, with an unimaginable disaster: the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple. During the revolt, these families found refuge atop Masada, a remote mountain overlooking the Dead Sea that had been fortified by King Herod the Great seventy years earlier. Now, however, they were besieged by an overwhelming Roman force, and it was clear the fortress would fall. At this critical moment, the rebel leader Eleazar Ben-Yair gathered the men together and convinced them to commit mass suicide. So persuaded, each man killed his own wife and children. Then the men gathered together and drew lots, determining which ten of them would put the others to death. The ten remaining men drew lots again, and one man killed the other nine before taking his own life, as the ancient Jewish historian Flavius Josephus describes:

Hello everyone, there is something I will like to advice you people here and other people that will come across this post.

If your reading this and your making plans to come mauritius, I strongly advise you to change or drop that plan.
I will give you reasons....

First of all, mauritius is no longer what it use to be before, the country is no longer friendlier especially to Nigerians.

Mauritius ppl hates Nigerians, infant by acknowledging to them that your from Nigerian, it puts you in a disadvantage position, if the person wants to help you if they find out your from Nigerian the person will change his or her mind.

Although I don't blame them bcus Nigerians has taking it upon themselves to always brand themselves as terrible ppl, causing nuisance everywhere, giving themselves bad name everywhere and every country dey go.

Bcus of this, any person that commits a crime in here even though the person may not be from Nigeria but the mauritius ppl will tag the person as Nigerian.
They see other ppl from other African countries as Nigerian.


In the last few yrs and 2022 was the last year mauritius was convient and relaxing for Nigerians.
But this 2023 , lots of Nigerians troop in here and lots of crimes were committed here bcus of that mauritius ppl doesn't want Nigerians here.

So if your coming in here either with study visa ,work visa or visit visa , your not safe bcus there is a chance that immigration here will return the person back home.
I'm not trying to discourage ppl who wants to come mauritius and spend there vacation and go back home.
If your coming to mauritius as a legit tourist to spend your vacation and return home ,make sure your highly established back home in your country as a Nigerian most especially.
Make sure you have a good business and investments as back up to proof to the immigration officer that your a legit tourist who will return back home, then I assure you that they will allow you into the country.

If your a legit tourist that is well established
in Nigeria and your coming to mauritius to spend vacation or business trip then you nothing to worry or fear bcus they will allow you in.
Although they will do investigation on your claims at the airport there to verify your claims.




Lot of Nigerians coming in with either visit visa or work visa are been return home.
It's a 50/50 chance, infact it's now 40/60 chance.

They don't want Nigerians here again.

The other day I waz conversing with a Mauritian and he ask me where I'm from and I told him Nigerian, he now said that Nigeria a country filled with criminals and I gave him a frown look and ended the conversation.
This is there perception towards Nigerians.


Why I'm posting this is bcus you will not come and waste your money coming here only to be returned back home.

If your aspiring to come here, I advice you to forget mauritius and look for another country and go.


Police is always hunting Nigerians here ,picking them up on the road randomly or at workplace and if your permit has expired your going back home and they will force you to use your money to book flight back home.

I know some one that entered mauritius with visit visa and the guy was lucky to survive the immigration here.
Why bcus he was smart and lucky...
He told me that 12 Nigerians at the airport there including the ones with work visa were returned back home with the available flight.
But him was lucky enough to pass through bcus of some reasons I won't share here.


He who has ear, let him hear...

But if you still insist that you want to come here then by all mean be my guest, then you will get to experience what I have said first hand.

Getting through immigration now here even with your legit permit , the chances are slimmer unless luck is on your side.

Words are enough for the wise.

I don't know why my spirit is asking me to make a post about this but its well

Nawa oh

I recommend two shows on Netflix....
One is about the US government programs on UFo and declassified information regarding UFO.....
Second is about people's encounters with UFO
Watch all these with an open mind, make no conclusions, just observations and see if u can draw parallels

bobestman:
Nice thread bro. The thread will open the eyes of many christians on many of their beliefs. Many athiests will also learn a lot if they will humble themselves and dig deeper. These things are highly spiritual. Only those with deep knowledge in spirituality can answer your questions. Spirituality is the mother of religion. Science is a school boy where spirituality is. They can only explain things they can see. Many things they can't see they have no knowledge. Do they have knowledge on how the pyramid were contructed here on earth or who engineered them? Why are pyramids found in Mars? All this will tell you that their are those who came from above and dwell here. They were half gods, half men. We only knew 20% of what they knew. Many things things they did in the ancient world were sunk in Atlantis. The world today don't have their kind knowledge. They are your ancient ancestors.

You are very right, life is very deep...its a whole lot of mysteries out there, humans are a species with amnesia, we dont know or have forgotten our true history/origin

I love this Newsnation documentary on Georges Knapps investigation...
George Knapp is a journalist who has investigated UFO phenomenon for decades...
Enjoy this documentary

HellVictorinho6:


this is 4 u 2 define.....understanding spirituality.

Till we get there, for now we can only speculate

HellVictorinho6:


i neva indicated any prefence there

Sure

HellVictorinho6:



anything when we die is irrelevant 2 our existence b4 we die

That is for you, i for one would prefer a system where life could continue after death...

HellVictorinho6:


if u have no answer ,then permit me 2 say u dont know what u are saying.

i dont intend 2 offend u.


there are things i am yet 2 learn too but i dont call them spiritual.

actually,there must always be things u dont know although others may know them.


as we seek to know,
we should also seek why to know.

however, am always ready 4 philosophical interactions except when critically ill.

I have not make any assumption on my post except the fact that Spirituality is science , based on the fact that it follows guiding principles....
I do not claim to know anything, that's why i say it is paramount for humans to evolve to the Point where we can study and understand Spirituality for what it really is ..

HellVictorinho6:


well,we actually know certain things about it like no respiration, no excretion anymore,right?

some just wanna know more

so what is more?

let me check..,

Yes we know those things for certain,there are also cases of people who have bn said to reveal details of past lives ..some people have have been known to see spirits of departed loved ones....while i cannot independently verify these claims, if there's an iota if truth in them, it makes a case for the possibility of life after death

HellVictorinho6:


i may be capable of making them converge.

all i need is what u mean by MAKING THEM CONVERGE.

4rm there, i will determine whether u were actually saying anything at all or not.

Loool, this is part of human evolution, it will take time, but at some point it will happen...i have no answer to ur question..

HellVictorinho6:


I think micro organisms are responsible 4 the creation of every other species including humans within the kingdoms in biology because they are indispensable to the development,continuity or/ and deterioration of a part or some parts or all of.......



any of the other species.




however,these micro organisms are not amazing to me.

the amount of intelligence required to create is directly proportional to the gain derived 4rm what is created by the creator.

I am very impressed with your contribution....

What happens when we die?
This question has puzzled the minds of many since the dawn of time....yet after thousands of years of human existence, we have not found concrete logical proof of what happens after death...
So many theories have been put forth, i can summarize them into 3 categories

The theory of death as the end....
This simply implies that with death comes the end of existence, no afterlife

The theory of heaven and hell as reward based system of afterlife
Some people believe their God will reward or punish them with heaven or hell after death, they believe we continue to exist after death.

Reincarnation
This theory states that a person's soul is energy that continues to exist after death, viewing the body as a container of the soul, after death, the soul simply finds another host....

What theory do u subscribe to?

Personally, Reincarnation could be logical if there is existence of the soul, soul could be logical to exist if astral projection is true...i am in groups where people claim to have astral projected, i myself have come close to doing so.....it could make sense that our soul could be a software which needs a hardware (body) to come to life ..this body could be anything tho ...
