Is your "prophecy" the word of God?
Only the word of God is infallible.

God dwells in eternity, heaven and earth came forth from him through his Word which was made flesh and dwell among us(mortals). before creation God's spirit was everywhere since everything else we can and can't see came from him alone. Most commenters who are all created by God rather choose to amuse themself and others of their kind belief-wise thinking that they can mock God, forgetting that he can not be mocked. @mantraa;you gave a very horrible and ignorant response. Science is a satanic NWO ministry.

@op
our Lord Jesus Christ is The Begining(Rev21:6).all things created in Heaven and on earth,visible and invisible,whether thrones,dominion,principalities or powers were created by Him and for Him(Colosns1:16).For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things(Roms11:36)and without Him there is absolutely nothing(John1:3).
For it pleased the Father that IN HIM(JESUS) should all fullness dwell(Colosns1:19).
To answer your question, i will say God was in The Begining(which is Jesus Christ) before He created the Heaven,the Heaven and earth were created in Him,For in The Begining(Jesus Christ) God created the Heaven and earth(Gen1:1). All things were created in Him thats the reason He knows the end from the begining(Ish46:10)for He is The Begining and The end(Rev21:6). though i stand to be corrected.

plappville:
@ OP, a very interesting question,of which no being can know!

But i would suggest, God is everywhere. God's activities befor creating the heavens and the earth are not known.
He is the beginning and the end. meaning he had no beginning nor ending.

maclatunji:
The OP has identified another of the too many faults in Christianity. Many Christians try to explain this away by saying God is a spirit- A farcical proposition. God is God and is absolutely unique- not spirit, man or anything you can fathom. Until you accept this, you are on a wrong course and direction altogether.

You see any concept and construct your brain can think-of is dependent on God whilst he is independent of them in addition to an infinite number of things that we cannot think-of because it is beyond our capacity.

We have been given a lot of knowledge but we have to agree that all we know is extremely minute in the grand scheme of things with God.

denitro:
I don't think so,
Paul was referring to the next life

Just as there are different degrees of righteousness on the earth, there are kingdoms of differing glory in the next life:

1) the celestial kingdom is the highest, the Glory of the Sun
2) terrestrial is next, the Glory of the moon
3) telestial is last, the Glory of the stars

If we are worthy, we can be placed into one of those Kingdoms of God. God himself is in the Celestial Kingdom, which is eternal happiness.

kobosmalls:
huh, what a bunch of morons. in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth(yet somehow he lives in the same heaven). maybe, just maybe he lived in another place created by a bigger god than he is before that "beginning". you religious fools deny the fact that life as we know it is here by chance(the big bang and cosmic dust playing a great role) but u somehow believe that ur imaginary and all mighty god can exist by the same chance u refuse to accept. you believe that there is an invisible being in the sky who sees all ur activities and gives u a bunch of rules to follow. if u fail to follow them, he punishes u forever in eternal fire where u will weep and grind ur teeth forever and ever. yet, "he loves you". are you guys this stupid or are my the only one who sees through these stupid lies written in ur so_called holy book? religion in its entirety is total crap full of fairy tales that should be accepted by kids below 10 years old.Regretably,most adults all over Africa accept these crap as true and real. BREAKING NEWS!!!! YOUR GOD DOES NOT EXIST! thanks for pointing the story of cain and abel. when god expelled cain from the land of his birth, cain told god that anyone who sees him there will kill him. wtf, who would see him? there were only 4 persons alive at that time(adam,eve,cain and the slained abel). oh and God also threw satan away from heaven to earth and cursed the earth. this further demonstrates his all mighty love for religious idiots. didnt god remember to throw the devil into another galaxy or planet like jupiter,or mars etc where the devil wont hurt man considering that the devil is more powerful than man. imagine how much trouble the devil gave his creator(god) who is almighty, how much more could a mere mortal man survive that devil,yet god with his all_knowing stupidity decided to give man a great gift, the devil. if that your god couldnt stand living with the devil, how can a man do what his creator couldnt do(living with the devil)? please people, grow some rational thoughts in your heads. dont just accept any crap you are fed.

IYANGBALI:
I was just going through my holy bible some couple of minutes ago,Genesis to be precised and chapter 1 verse 1 says " In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." a question now came to my mind,where was God living before he created heaven,honestly i am not trying to play any pranks here i just want to be enlightened and i would be grateful if anyone out there could help me out.

sonmvayina:
What existed in the beginning before creation?

Anybody can answer...

Farabove1:
Please I need enlightenment from lawyer and every knowledgeable person in the forum.

What exactly is the reason for doing governor's consent on a property, located in a clearly 'non-acquired' area in Lekki?

What is the impact for not doing it, at all, especially if one has other forms of title e.g. legitimate deed of sublease.?

Are there any problems if one decides not to do consent and to hold onto the deed of sublease, as the case maybe.

Lawyer pls, chip in your words of wisdom and Nairalanders that are well-informed, pls shed a light for a fellow.

Thank you

"My parents brought me up to believe drugs were awful and, if I touched them, they'd kill me. So, I never thought I'd even try them. I was really good at school, I got strong grades and my studies were important to me.

The first time I took cocaine, I was 19 years old. I was in a relationship with someone who did it and, after an hour of him and a friend convincing me 'it wasn't going to kill me', I tried it.

Growing up, I always felt like everyone had the manual to life and I didn't. I felt empty inside—like something was missing. As soon as I snorted that first line, that hollow feeling went away. Drugs became my solution to life.

I was at university at the time earning a fashion degree, working two part-time jobs and trying to socialise, all while also suffering from ME (chronic fatigue syndrome). Everyone around me seemed to balance everything with absolute ease. For me, it was hard. But suddenly, I could do all of those things - thanks to both the energy from the coke and my new found confidence. But it wasn't long until my magical solution back-fired horrendously.

How the addiction started
I only used coke socially, at first, like when I went to the pub. It became a very normal thing for me. However, very quickly, I wanted to do it much more than my partner did. I wanted to use all the time.

Soon, I was doing it at home, when I was having a quiet night in. Within two years, I was using every single day, all while still studying for my degree.

While the coke started off as my solution, life soon became unmanageable. I couldn't get out of bed because I was on a comedown. I wasn't really turning up to lectures — I was much more interested in staying at home and using. I dropped out of uni three months after starting my second year. I was in a horrendous amount of debt, my student loan had been spent on coke, and I had credit cards run up to stupid amounts just to fund my habit.

My ex-boyfriend had lost his job, so he started dealing, which meant we had it in the house all the time. My relationship started to break down, and we eventually broke up. I got a job in a shop but that became really difficult as I'd be up all night using and then going into the toilets at work to take more.

What I was like on coke
I was an exaggerated version of myself on coke. I could talk up to 100mph and I had confidence I’d never had. I could go and talk to people I would normally be intimidated by.

IN MY HEAD, COKE WAS A VERY GLAMOROUS DRUG, IT WAS WHAT CELEBRITIES DID.
 In my head, coke was a very glamorous drug. It was what celebrities did so it seemed acceptable. That kept me in denial for a long time. 'It wasn’t heroin. I wasn’t injecting it. I wasn’t that addict,' I would tell myself. It seemed to be a very socially acceptable drug.

Always going back to it
I had bouts throughout the 13 years of my addiction where I was clean - sometimes for up to two years - but eventually, I would go back to it.

I met the man who would become my husband when I was 25. He's never touched a drug in his life. I moved down south with him (I've moved a lot, which I can now see as running away from my addiction) and quite quickly we got engaged. I had told him about my past, including the debt I'd accumulated, but I neglected to tell him I was still recreationally using.


I was very adamant I wasn't going to go down the road of drugs in my new life with him. But whenever I went back to my hometown to see family and friends, I ended up using.

One weekend, I went home and took coke, methadone and some other legal highs — anything in white powder form that I could stick up my nose, really — from the Friday I arrived until the Sunday. I didn't sleep and somehow managed to drive home. I couldn't see or think straight. When I got to the front door I had to come clean to my fiancé about everything. This was two months before our wedding. I was in such a state that I made him drive me to hospital because I thought I was dying.

It was a difficult time. I'd broken his trust but we worked through it. We got married aged 27 and everything seemed fine. I fell pregnant with my first child - I was clean throughout my pregnancy - and we moved back to my hometown where I had my first child at 28. But motherhood did not come naturally to me. Putting a little person before myself was hard.

£10,000 spent on coke in one year
When we moved back, I found myself a mum of one in a remote area, and I felt really lonely. By this point, I had one friend who still took drugs. Soon enough, I was taking day trips with my baby to spend the day with her when we would use together. That old empty feeling I had as a teenager became very apparent in motherhood. The coke numbed it — that hollowness would go away when I used.

I never wanted a second child, but......

ahhh see this whole spiritual esoteric information? There are levels to it. Let’s say there are 10 levels, you are at level 4, which is way higher than the average peon who is at level 1. You are jumbling up scenarios. You know a bit of stuff but you still need more information and coordination. Bro ? Even the controller is being controlled . Think about that . THE CONTROLLER IS BEING CONTROLLED

EMILO2STAY:
yes, i am a knower and I know many things thats a fact. you claim to be now enlightened but your idols are blind men who are false teachers. It shows you just dey learn and knows nothing.
A man who says tithe defaulters will not make heaven is a man you look up to .. plus your whole belief in Islam being antichrist according to Daniel is also laughable.

Go read bible properly abeg.

Title: Rising Drug Abuse Among Nigerian Youths: A Crisis Exacerbated by Flawed Policing

Date: June 27, 2024

Location: Lagos, Nigeria

In recent years, Nigeria has witnessed a troubling surge in drug abuse among its youth, raising alarms across the nation. The proliferation of substances like tramadol, codeine, and cannabis is not only destroying lives but also highlighting significant flaws within the country's policing system. Experts and community leaders are now calling for urgent reforms to address both the drug crisis and the systemic issues within law enforcement.

A walk through many Nigerian cities reveals a stark reality: young people, some barely in their teens, openly engaging in drug use. The consequences are devastating. Schools report declining academic performance, while healthcare providers see a rise in drug-related illnesses and mental health issues. Communities are grappling with an increase in crime and violence linked to drug addiction.

At the heart of this epidemic is a policing system ill-equipped to tackle the problem. Reports of corruption, inefficiency, and lack of resources within the Nigerian Police Force are rampant. Many officers, poorly paid and inadequately trained, are often complicit in the drug trade, accepting bribes from dealers and turning a blind eye to their activities.

"Drug dealers operate with impunity because they know they can buy their way out of trouble," says Adetayo Johnson, a social worker in Lagos. "The police are supposed to protect us, but instead, they are part of the problem."

Investigations reveal that some police officers are directly involved in the drug trade, either as consumers, protectors of dealers, or even as dealers themselves. This corruption erodes public trust and makes it nearly impossible for effective law enforcement to take place.

Moreover, the lack of proper training and resources means that even well-intentioned officers are often unable to effectively combat drug trafficking. For instance, inadequate forensic capabilities, poor intelligence gathering, and insufficient funding hamper the police force's ability to track and dismantle drug networks.

Community efforts to combat drug abuse are often stymied by this compromised policing system. NGOs and local organizations working to rehabilitate drug users and educate the public face an uphill battle when the very system meant to uphold the law is undermining their efforts.

"We need a complete overhaul of our policing system," argues Dr. Funmi Adeoye, a criminologist at the University of Ibadan. "This includes better salaries, rigorous anti-corruption measures, and comprehensive training programs. Without these reforms, we are fighting a losing battle."

The Nigerian government has acknowledged the crisis, but tangible actions have been slow to materialize. Recent promises to increase police funding and implement anti-corruption initiatives offer some hope, but many remain skeptical.

Parents, educators, and activists are urging the government to act swiftly. They emphasize that addressing the drug abuse epidemic among youths requires a multifaceted approach that includes improving law enforcement, increasing access to education and rehabilitation programs, and creating economic opportunities for young people.

As the sun sets over Lagos, the vibrant cityscape masks a growing darkness. The future of Nigeria's youth hangs in the balance, dependent not only on their choices but also on a policing system that must choose to reform and protect rather than perpetuate and profit.
