I applied for Biotechnology but I changed my mind to study Environmental Health and Safety Technology. Now that I have gotten the admission, can I change it to Environmental Health and Safety Technology. How can I do that?

Luxury products thrives only on rich people e.g.

* Fashion goods like Versace are meant for rich people.
* 5 - 7 star Hotels are meant only for rich people
* Luxury resorts in dubai, morrocco etc are meant for rich people.

Anybody that is NOT rich cannot afford these luxury products!

There is an entire universe of advertisement, sales and marketing that is meant only for rich people.

MrAwePresident:


We need to learn to appreciate the small things

Many wanted to be a doctor but failed jamb
Many wanted to buy a car but couldn't afford a jeep aka SUV
Many can't afford a maid thoughtless of a driver.

Things and accomplishments can't bring happiness.

Happiness is within and its Free of charge

Patience ,faith and content these are tools needed in life irrespective of ones religious belief

I am dedicating this post to "KAYODE" who called me and was asking questions about Farm Business, Ebo's (Sacrifices) and Ifa



Boa Is the short Awo, while Python is the tall Awo.

Those were the awos who made divination for a farmer called Agbe when he was going to start a new farm at the beginning of the year. He was advised to make sacrifice with a he-goat in order to have a successful farming year. He did the sacrifice.

It was the tradition in the village for farmers to perform the chores in their farms by mutual effort (Abo in yoruba and Use in Bini). He had gone with everyone else to clear their farms and it was his turn for others to help in clearing his farm.

On that day it rained heavily and it was not possible for any work to be done in his farm.

The next day he went round to invite the people to come in lieu of the previous day, but they all refused on the ground that he had lost his chance of being assisted to the rain. He became dejected not knowing what to do to clear his farm.

He then went to borrow money to employ labourers to assist him in clearing his farm. When it came to the time to repay the loan he was too destitute to afford it. His creditor called Atirala harassed him so much that he hegan to spend more time in his farm than at home.

It was time for planting yams during which ridges had to be made. He was virtually sleeping in his farm since he could not afford money to hire labour; and no one would agree to lend him any way, since he was now being ridiculed in the village as a chronic debtor.

One night, he had a dream while sleeping in his farm and his guardian spirit told him that a strange visitor was coming to pay him a visit in his farm. The guardian spirit advised him to entertain the visitor very well.

Meanwhile, lwori Obara was visiting the village at the invitation of the bead chief. He went out one morning in search of leaves to do his work and ended up on the periphery of Agbe's farm.

When Agbe heard the sound of someone plucking leaves in his farm, he invited the stranger to his hut where he entertained him with food and drinks. In accordance with tradition, lwori-Obara brought out the divination Ikin (Ifa seeds) tied round his waist to divine for Agbe.

After divination, the awo told him that he was not prosperous because he had strayed away from the path of his destiny. He told Agbe that farming was not his profession, and that he should take to trading. He wondered how he was going to trade when he had no money.

The visitor told him to serve his head with a pigeon, and his guardian spirit with a guinea-fowl in the farm and thereafter that should be the last farm he was ever to make.

After the visitor left his farm, he continued with the task of preparing the ridges for planting his yams. As he was digging away, he began to wonder how he was going to obtain the money for the sacrifice.

The next morning, the traps he made round his farm caught a boa, an antelope and a grass cutter. He quickly butchered them and dried them up in the fire place for his wife to sell them in the market.

With the money realized from the sale of the meat, he was able to buy the pigeon and the guinea-fowl for his sacrifices.

After the sacrifices, he again spent the night in his farm. While asleep, his guardian spirit told him to dig a special ridge around the tree of life (lgi-akoko in yoruba and lkhin-mwin in Bini) in his farm. He subsequently did as he was advised. Thereafter things began to happen in his favour.

First, he came to the farm three days later to discover a dead python and a dead elephant in his farm. There were signs all over the farm that the python and the elephant both fought to death.

His trading profession had begun, because not only did he sell the meat of the elephant and python, the oil from the latter fetched him a lot of money.

The king of the area heard that an elephant died in his farm and directed that the tusk should be brought to him. He obeyed the king's directives, but he was compensated with two slaves for each of the two tusks which gave him two male and two female slaves.

With the help of the slaves he was able to give up farming by himself. He became very prosperous because the two female slaves turned out to be professional traders.

If this Odu appears at Ugbodu, the person should be advised to take to business because his lfa would enrich him. He should forbid working with anyone through mutual aid (Abo or Use).

Infact, he should not work for anybody. He should serve the Ifa with 16 snails. At divination, the person should serve Esu with a he-goot to avoid indebtedness.

That is more like it. Atheism does not support the existence of absolute moral values. After all we are no different from animals and man is of no higher value than animals, according to them. Some believe it's okay to be racist; others believe it's okay to kill babies. Others still believe it's okay to rape. Who is to say what is to be followed? Any standard of our own creation would necessarily be subjective and arbitrary.

This is a terrible analogy. Try as much as possible use analogies that remotely mirror what is being said.

It is better to live like there is a God. Because when you die and there is no God, you've nothing to lose. But to die and find out that there is a God, it'll be too late.

Jesus was the bastard son of an acclaimed
virgin whose mother used hypnotic powers to delude Joseph who is a responsible carpenter into thinking he met god and god told him to accept Mary and her unborn child

this child was named Jesus and his mother kept calling him son of god and this child deluded himself into believing it, he went around gathering 12 people who shared in his delusions
this made him talk anyhow and criticise anyone even destroying people's market one day, this inevitably led to him suffering from delusion of grandeur

his village people grew tired of his antics so decided to beat the crap out of him and hung him on the cross like they do common thieves in those days, he realised his folly and quickly asked god why he forsook him and even told his imaginary father to make the "cup pass over him", but since there's no god anywhere listening no one saved him and he died, his other disciples stole his body, claimed he rose from the dead and flew to heaven on the third day; even his mother that authored the delusion didn't see him

there are deluded people who believed this man died for their misdemeanors, they pray to this dead man everyday and cover themselves with the blood of this man

these people call themselves "Christians"

its a pity Nigeria has a huge population of people that believes a troublemaking carpenter suffering from delusion of grandeur

how can a Nigerian believe a Jew died for their sins when most of the people who saw him die didn't buy that? its like Americans claiming Murtala Mohammed died for their sins while Nigerians laugh at their delusions

You no well i swear
But really he could be a fictional character, considering that he was mentioned by just two historians, and Emperor constatine who was a pagan invented a lot of history about Christianity with some Flavour from other present pagan religions at that time, to create a universal state religion.

This is a sensitive topic. My son was admitted in the Hospital and the Doctor said he needs blood. I refuse to comply with his request for blood for my son. After two days the blood shoot up miraculously.

The life of the flesh is in the blood. Whenever you consume blood, you are consuming the life of that individual. That explains why most carnivores are very strong e.g tiger, lion, eagle etc.

Cheers.
