Introspective Reflections:

EVIL IS DEEP

China is currently the world's leading economic power, in China there is Zero Church!

Finland has the most stable economy in the world today. There are less than twenty churches in Finland!

Switzerland has the second most stable economy in the world.
Switzerland has fewer than thirty churches!

Denmark is the third most stable economy in the world, there are about 23 churches in Denmark.

These countries are considered to have the highest number of atheists, but they are blessed!

Come to Africa, there are more than 10,000 churches per region including 4,000 churches in the city of Yaoundé alone!

4100 churches in the only city of Abidjan!

7000 churches in the only city of Kinshasa!

10,000 churches in the only city of Lagos in Nigeria!
only, which is four hundred and thirty times more numerous than the whole of Switzerland!

In Africa, we have more churches than schools and hospitals combined!

More pastors than doctors.

Everyone is born again!

Everyone is covered with the blood of Jesus!

Jesus even became the husband of all single women (according to them) in revival churches!

Everyone is filled with the Holy Spirit!

However, none of these claims reflect the moral elevation that is hoped for in a society.

We are among the laziest, the most deceiving, the most corrupt, the most hypocritical, the most hateful on the planet today, with all our Jesus and the Holy Spirit!

Our people need to distinguish between religion and stupidity or between spirituality and tradition!

State of the Nation: Is the North Ready for a United Nigeria?

I am a strong and unrepentant believer in a united and indivisible Nigeria. The strength in unity can never be over emphasized. There are many ethnic nationalities seeking the dissolution of Nigeria inwardly and outwardly. I only have pity for them. I pity them because they are misguided, opportunistic and utterly mischievous individuals without a definite roadmap to their quest as well as living in delusion that their imaginary republics will offer anything better than the present Nigeria.

I am convinced that the northern political elites have continued to provide the greatest alibi to the mischief makers in guise of ethnic liberators. They have oxygenated cravings of charlatans and allowed the discussion for national unity to relocate to motor parks, mechanic workshops, markets and palm wine joints instead of hallowed intellectual arenas. Why the northern elites?

The unity of Nigeria was anchored on political and fiscal federalism. In fact, that was the cardinal demand of Northern Nigeria before agreeing independence. When Ironsi took over government after the failed Nzeogwu coup, he abolished the existing federalism and introduced unitary government. The north revolted and cited domination by Ironsi and his Igbo tribe. The murder of Ironsi by Danjuma and others in Ibadan was politically backed by the north because he abolished federalism in Nigeria.

Upon assumption of power, the northern elites reversed themselves and consolidated unitary governance and paid lip service to federalism. From that point, the machination started. They used their military wing to damage the country and created huge, selfish and hypocritical advantage for themselves. Their machination did not directly benefit the average northerner. The major culprits were Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Babangida and Abacha.

Gowon started the dance by creating three states in the north in other to equalize the pre 1966 status of the south. While, the actions of Gowon could be justified by the need to ensure an effective war strategy to divide the front of the rebellious Biafra, Murtala Mohhamed’s state creation set the dangerous precedence that has skewed our federalism and made it useless. He allocated 10 states to the north and 9 to the south. IBB consolidated this injustice by expanding the northern advantage from one state over the south to two states.

IBB in fact went further to reconstitute the local government structure into a semi federating unit of the republic and created more councils in the north to enable them receive federal allocations. Prior to the IBB destruction of the fiscal federalism we practiced, the federal government had no business funding local government areas. Abacha completed the damage by whimsically creating LGAs that were lopsided. The north finally dwarfed the south in resource allocation.

Meanwhile, the pre 1966 revenue sharing formula was abolished. At that time, derivation was 50%, federal government 20% and remaining 30% was shared among the federating units. This to me is where the northern elites have failed not just other parts of Nigeria but the ordinary northerner that is deprived of equity.

Finally, my position is that we must continue to push for justice, but that cannot be on the basis of dissolution of the federation. All those preaching dissolution and war are anarchists, miscreants and nation wreckers. Men and women of goodwill from all parts of the country must join in the campaign to return the country to pre 1966 status.

Last Line: you cannot be patriotic, objective, humane and desires the vomiting of our eaten yams if you support an injustice simply because it endows you with some undeserved advantages.

A SELF DECEIVING COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA Twenty-one senators currently receiving pensions from government as ex- governors and deputy governors. The current senators who once served as governors are Bukola Saraki of Kwara, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano, Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara, Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka Adeleke of Osun. The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state. Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN).). In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor. In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years. It is alledged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life. This is the reality for all the 21 ex govenors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers. NOW I ASK: How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors? Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life? Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous? As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria? IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE...... Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark. Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our "honourables" are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria. The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue to rape us. Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to maintain each member of our National Assembly in a country where nothing works & 80% of population earn below 300 Naira a day ? A working day earning of a senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70 commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the US President or 9 times the salary of US congressmen. It's high time the country had a referendum on those outrageous salaries of Senators, House of Representative members and other political office holders. *If you are seriously against the looting of our commonwealth in Nigeria, in the name of ydemocracy, you can let this piece go viral by sharing it with as many of your contacts and groups too!*

GOOD PEOPLE

One chance and Buhari’s corrupt administration
Buhari was handed over:
– $30billion in our Foreign Reserves,
– $2.5billion Sovereign Wealth Fund,
– $1.4billion in the ECA,
– $4.65billion back taxes from NLNG.
– buhari met an approved budget of N4.5trillion
Buhari received within a year:
– $2.7billion collected by Inland Revenue in his
first 8 months.
– $2.1billion world bank loan.
– $850million Grants from UK, USA and
Europe.
– 1.5trn saved from fuel subsidy removal
– Excluding crude oil sales, Joint Venture
profits, Royalties, Income from Customs,
NIMMSA, NPA, NACHO ……
– 3trilion on STA
not to include the “recovered” looted funds.
More than a year has passed:
1] Not a kilometer of road constructed,
2] Not a watt of Electricity generated,
3] Not a Ward added to any Hospital in Nigeria.
4] Not a job space created, except the CBN job
he shared with his cronies.
5] Not a grain of corn or tomato seed was
provided to farmers. [Fertilizer subsidy taken
away and handed back to ex-military men] 6]
41 foreign companies mostly in service industry
have left Nigeria
7] 4.3 Million jobs lost in 10months – National
Bureau of Statistics.
8] Food scarcity last experienced in Nigeria
between 1983 to 1985 returned back.
9] War on Corruption turned into war against
his perceived enemies. Convictions by EFCC
were cases meticulously started by previous
govt(s). buhari wins cases only on the pages of
Newspapers.
10] Nigeria dropped from No.1 Investment
destination in Africa to No.27 before South
Sudan.
11] African Biggest economy shrink from a GDP
of about 7% to -0.36%, the fastest decline in the
world since record began.
12] No.3 fastest growing economy in the world
to No.83 in 365days.
And I wonder why the president keeps giving
the impression that the country is broke. The
problem is not lack of funds, but lack of
qualified individuals in the govt.

I find it very #Unpresidential of PMB to say that #CHANGE_begins_WITH_me . Imagine! PMB uses 11 Jets, N4b for his Cars, N1.7b just for his Feeding: N200m just for his Hair cut and he thinks Change begins with me. How ......

Am I the person that promised Change? Was I the one that Corruptly appointed my relations into CBN and FIRS?

Am I the one getting Forex at official rate from CBN to sell at Black Market?

Am I the one that appointed Inexperienced and Directionless Ministers?

Am I the one that Padded the Budget?

Am I part of those in NASS paying themselves Extravagant Allowances?

Am I part of those Stealing Money in the TSA?

Am I the one Appointing my Incompetent village people into Key Positions?

Am I the Saint President whose "over wise" policies brought Economic Recession?

Am I the one who Chased out Investors by declaring Nigerians Criminals?

Am I the one that Authorised the Slaughter of 1000 Shiite Muslims and Peaceful IPOB members?

Am I the one protecting the Blood sucking Herdsmen?

Am I the one that increased Price of Fuel?

Am I the one whose Policies left 4.58m people unemployed?

Am I the one that made Foodstuffs and everything expensive?

.... Please your Excellency, President Mohamadu Buhari, please, in your excellence, kindly explain how the change you promised with your own mouth should begin with me?!

"IN MONTHS TO COME, A TOYOTA CAMRY WOULD BE OFFERED FOR N50.000 JUST TO FEED THE FAMILY In 1984, just months after the military takeover by General Buhari, the country ground to a halt; just like today! He came with the same song- and-dance: THEY ARE CORRUPT!!

In a matter of months, mothers were selling their jewellery to send their children to school. Thieves were stealing food at gun point, just like today. Within months, there simply was NO FOOD. The government gathered the little there was and restricted purchases.

Whether you were 100 or ONE in your family, every household had a card with which they went to military manned cooperatives to purchase rationed, “essential commodities”. These included Rice, Beans, Yam, Bread, Milk, Sugar, and so on. Everything was rationed. It was war-time in peace-time!! Nigeria became like Somalia.
We lived like refugees. And of course, a lot of children were simply pulled out of schools because feeding was priority number ONE! Going to school became a luxury, even for middle class families. And ANDREWS & JANES started checking out. People suddenly remembered they had British and American passports, and simply left the country!

Those who are not aware of all these, ask anyone who was born on or before 1984. They should be old enough to remember. It was that harrowing. The most baffling aspect of all this was that, the people he said were corrupt and stealing, were presiding over an economy where the Naira was 1:1 with the US Dollar, and N2 to £1 Sterling! An economy where we were buying Volkswagen Beetle at N400 from Volkswagen of Nigeria. An economy where my entire family, all 7 of us, travelled for summer hols on tickets purchased for N280 and BTA of N400 (official – we managed to sneak more out for shopping naaa) . An economy where everything was robust and vibrant and growing. Then a man comes in and says he took over because people were corrupt and he needed to sanitise things. In a matter of months, the Dollar was N15 and the Sterling was N40. A VW Beetle sold for N8,000 (up from N400) and that N8,000 simply was not available anywhere! Children dropped out of school, businesses closed, parents became destitute, food was NOT available and we queued for rations at cooperatives like refugees in a warring country!!!

Fast forward to 2015!! The same man comes with the same song-and-dance. We tried to remind our peers and elders of those days, and we tried to educate the younger ones. However, the wind of change, that wind that always tells us that the grass is greener on the other side, deafened them all! And once again, within months, everything that happened in 1984 and 1985 – EVERYTHING – is all being repeated.

I have just come from a home where my friends have owed two terms’ school fees. They have just made the difficult decision to leave Abuja, relocate back to their village and take the two younger children out of sc
hool, at least temporarily. The older boy will stay with friends and they will use the savings on rent and the likes to try and get him across the line (WAEC). Feeding is now a major task. Infact, people are complaining of their kitchens and farms being raided for food – DAILY!! Yet again, this is happening just months after Buhari takes over with screams of corruption and stealing. Corruption and stealing, yet that my family friend who was not corrupt, not stealing and not anywhere close to the corridors of power was paying his rent, feeding his family and sending all three children to school. Corruption and stealing yet businesses were opening daily, economy was vibrant, people were healthy, GDP was growing and so on! In 1985, we were rescued by IBB and Dogonyaro. Immediately, people experienced a reversal. Within a very short time, the cooperatives closed, food became abundant again, the Naira stabilised, mothers stopped selling their jewellery, and so on. It makes one wonder! If there were no reference points, Buharists may claim that “if only he had been president”, but the mid-80s proved that the worst period in Nigeria’s history were the 20-odd months he was in power, sandwiched between two periods of plenty and growth. Therefore, they cannot bring the argument that today’s sufferings and impoverishment were the fault of the past regime – because we will counter with “TAKE HIM OUT NOW LIKE IBB DID IN 1985 AND SEE IF BY THIS CHRISTMAS, YOU WILL NOT BE SMILING AGAIN. Someone told me today that he predicts that by this Xmas or next Easter at the latest, a person will come and offer a Toyota Camry in exchange for N50,000, just so that his family can eat and make merry over the holidays!! Nigerians simply don't refer to history! And I have run out of every single drop of sympathy in my body. SO, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, KEEP STEWING IN YOUR BROTH. MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU WILL SHELVE PARTISANSHIP, TRIBALISM, ETHNICISM, RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY, HATRED, INTEREST AND ALL THAT –

"California is the 6th largest economy in the
world. It's economy is larger than that of France
or Brazil. The little problem is that California is
not a country. It is a State in the United States
of America. It has little offshore oil, yet its
economy is larger than States in the US that are
famous for their oil reserves, like Texas.


California generates much of its revenue from
non-oil products. It found a way to absorb and
domesticate much of the intellectual output
from its premier university, Stanford University,
into saleable products within its economy.
As a matter of fact, much of California's
economy is built around Stanford University. So
with this, Silicon valley developed. I'm sure
you've heard of Silicon Valley at least once in
your life.


Now with Silicon Valley came companies like
Apple, eBay, Cisco, Lockheed, Hewlett Packard
(HP), Google, Netflix, Facebook, Oracle,
Tesla...and the list goes on and on ad
infinitum.These are multibillion-dollar
companies.

The yearly budget of any one of these
companies might be larger than the entire
yearly budget of, say for example, Akwa Ibom
State. I'm talking about companies that are
richer than
countries. They are all in California. But that is
just in the technology industry where the
technologies and inventions spewing out of
Stanford are caught midair and converted to
money spinning enterprises.


But there is also the entertainment industry in
California. Yes, Hollywood is in California. The
US movies industry contributes about $
504Billion to USA's GDP. Hollywood, as you
know, contributes over 70% of that figure. Most
iconic movie studios are in Hollywood. As a
matter of fact, the "Big Eight" consisting of 20th
Century Fox,
Columbia Pictures, MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer), Paramount Pictures, RKO Radio
Pictures, United Artists, Universal Studios and
Warner Bros are, or were, all in Hollywood.
These again, are multi-billion dollar companies
generating revenue for California.


Despite the above, California also thrives on
agriculture. As at 2014, California had nothing
less than 77,000 farms and ranches raking in
about $55Billion in revenue yearly. It produces
over 400 agricultural commodities, a large
chunk of which it exports. It is the leader in
producing
exotic fruits in America. Its wine industry is
unique. California wine is drunk with relish the
world over. I used to drink some too.
This is just one State in America. You see,
California actually had a choice of sitting back
and striving to get a piece of the revenue
generated from Texas' oil. It could have
depended solely on Federal allocation to survive
so that every month end, it will send its
Commissioner of Finance to Washington DC to
receive monthly allocation so that it can barely
pay salaries of its workers and nothing more.
Then San Francisco would resemble Ajegunle in
Lagos. And there certainly would not be those
beautiful sights and sounds that make
California what it is today. But No, not
California. Not
America. California gives to the center and,
because of its wealth, despises the idea of
depending on it for survival. The Federal
Government actually needs California to survive,
not the other way round.


You see, America is structured in such a way
that States must look inwards to exploit their
wealth for the good of its citizens. There is no
free lunch for the lazy States. There certainly is
no commonwealth. But there is your wealth, if
you can create it. Under American Federalism,
you are the captain of your ship. But again, you
are also the waves upon which the ship will
sail. That is America.


The local government, the government closest
to the grassroot, is deliberately made the
strongest level of government. Items like
Variances (adaptation of state law to local
conditions,) Public works (yes, public works!!),
Contracts for public works,
Licensing of public accommodations,
Assessable improvements, Basic public services
are all left for local county governments to
handle.


The State handles weightier matters like
Property law, Education, Commerce laws of
ownership and exchange, Banking and credit
laws, Labour law and professional licensure,
Insurance laws, and Electoral laws, including
parties and Civil service laws. Items that the
Federal Government, the center, handles
affecting the States, are actually very negligible.
Nigeria on the contrary will never do well unless
we restructure. We pretend to have a Federal
system but we are actually operating a unique
form of unitary government, and it is weighing
the polity down.
Can you imagine a country where the school
curriculum is regulated by a
national central body and states have no
powers to vary or amend their curriculum? So,
if the rest of the developed world is light years
ahead in
what they teach their children from primary
schools, and our Minister of Education has
absolutely no clue, the States must be
burdened with antiquated school curriculum
until such a time (if we are lucky, before rapture
perhaps!!) that we have an Education Minister
who would realise how far behind we are and
bring the
curriculum up to date.
Just take a look at the science curriculum for
grade students in
advanced countries and you would cry for
Nigeria. I recently read of a high school in
Japan which has amended its curriculum to
include robotics and drones technology. IN
HIGH
SCHOOL!! But our Professors here don't have a
hang on Robotics even! Students are still taught
the very prehistoric rudiments of physics and
chemistry in our schools. And this is even in the
few schools that teachers and students still
meet in the classrooms!
For the few public schools that are lucky to
have labs, all you see are
miserable nameless creatures trapped in
formalin, to which nobody ever pays attention.
These creatures suffer a double jeopardy having
suffered the first misfortune of being caught
and
preserved in formalin in Nigeria, and then
thereafter completely ignored, even in death!
And because the control of our curriculum is
central, there is nothing potentially proactive or
progressive-minded States can do about this.
You would think this is not a problem until you
understand that Nigerians spend over ONE
TRILLION NAIRA every year to study abroad,
despite there being over 100 tertiary institutions
in Nigeria. Not one is deemed good enough.
You see, the reason why you have Cambridge,
Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Oxford, etc is not only
for academic excellence of the citizens of the
countries which have these schools. No. They
invest in their institutions so that they can earn
revenue from foreign students from countries
like Nigeria which has destroyed its
educationalvsystem.

Abroad, schools are so important to
society that the economy, business and lifestyle
of whole cities and even States completely
depend on or revolve around schools. What
would the city of cambridge be without
Cambridge University. Or Cambridge,
Massachusetts without Harvard University.
These cities depend on these universities to
survive.
And imagine that Nigeria had invested in its
universities and was earning $1billion dollars a
year from foreign students seeking to study
here, who would be fighting over oil in the Niger
Delta? How many car manufacturing companies
would we have in Owerri near FUTO where
students are constantly doing and selling their
research products to burgeoning engineering
and manufacturing companies?
Recently, three students in Sweden conducted
research and came up with a product that
could improve wear
and tear on tyres. The product became so
successful that Volvo had to partner with these
students to patent the product. Now when this
product hit world stage, can you imagine how
much revenue sweden would earn from these
product?

Do your research, most of the world-
class products we buy today off the shelf, at
great cost, were invented by university
students. As you are reading this, do not forget
that without Harvard University, there would not
have been facebook, and this our interface
would have been impossible.
But our students In Nigeria are not entirely
without inventions. We invented the Pyrates
Confraternity, the , the Eiye, the
Vikings and what not!! Students resume school
with guns and bullets, rather than books and
scholastic ideas, as though academic
institutions were a war college. Lecturers fly
colors as do
students. And when the turf war begins, people
die in droves. But States can do nothing about
this because some of these institutions are
controlled by the Federal Government.
Even for the ones controlled by States, you still
can't do much because the security apparatus
is controlled by the Federal Government. The
Federal Government will provide or withdraw
security from the State, depending on whether
it is happy with the sitting Governor.
So every year, all sorts of characters are
vomited from Nigerian Universities to take their
place in Nigerian society. So you have Judges,
Lawyers, Engineers, Doctors and so forth whose
first and primary allegiance is to their cult
group, before the Country. The multiplier effect
of this, is a treatise for another day.
But suffice to say that as long as this problem
persist, let's forget about Silicon Valley in
Nigeria, because there will never be a Stanford
University here to provide an infinite supply of
ideas and prodigies to feed the invention value-
chain

Nigeria cannot wake up from its slumber today
because it cannot lift its head. The entire
weight of its existence is concentrated in its
head. From the viewpoint of government, the
weight is In Abuja. From the viewpoint of
revenue source, the weight is in the Niger-Delta.
We need to urgently restructure and evenly
distribute this pressure points and weights to
diffuse tension in Nigeria.
We need to revisit the exclusive legislative list in
the constitution and systematically reduce the
responsibilities of the Federal Government vis-a-
vis the States.
Resources have to be handed back to the
States that generated them but
place an obligation on each States to contribute
an agreed percentage to the common federal
purse to service obligations of the Federal
Government.
There is no reason Education, Policing, Prisons
(only people convicted of
federal offenses should go to federal prisons!!),
Ports, Inland waterways, natural minerals, even
marriage (yes, english form of marriage!!) and
so many other items should not be the concern
of the Federal Government. We will never
develop with such weight that weigh us down
at the center.
Nigeria can never raise its head in the comity of
nations because of the sheer weight of the
head.


There is more to say, but scarcely any time. But
to emphasis the point I've been laboring to
make, shall I say again that there is absolutely
no reason or need to fight for oil in the Niger-
Delta. There are so many things that can bring
more revenue to States in Nigeria than oil.
South Africa has no oil, but it has Gold, and is
richer than Nigeria. Let us fight for a system
that will promote both equality and equity.
Nigeria will be Great again......."

what of Aisha Halliburton calling Fayose a mad dog nko??
Now I get it! In today's Nigeria, you can name a man after a dog without consequence but you cannot name a dog after a man without consequences!

We never actually live either. Death is life in another form. It is just our decision that decides if we die. Death is just a part of our story, the construct. Everything always moves on, it echos forever as death is a release, releasing and transforming into other things, energies, death, it's result forever. You can be alive in these constructs but you can feel more dead than being dead. The only death is our belief that there is nothing after this, after a certain moment. Like a wave hitting the sand, it sinks into it, turning into it.

A book called “Biocentrism: How life and
consciousness are the keys to understanding
the true nature and the universe” stirred the
Internet, stating that life does not end when the
body dies, but it lasts forever.


The author of this book, scientist Dr. Robert
Lanza, who the New York Times pronounced as
the third most important living scientist,
believes that this is entirely possible.
Beyond time and space
Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and
scientific director of the Company for advanced
cell technology. Before he became famous for
his research on stem cells, he was known for
the successful experiments of cloning
endangered species.

However, the scientist has recently started to
deal with physics, quantum mechanics and
astrophysics. This interesting mix created the
theory of biocentrism, which the professor now
engaged. Biocentrism teaches that life and
consciousness are the basis of the universe and
that consciousness creates the material
universe, and not vice versa.
Lanza indicates the structure of the universe
and how that the laws and constants of the
forces of the universe are tuned for life,
suggesting that intelligence existed before
matter.

He also claims that space and time are not
objects or things, but tools of our animal
understanding. Lanza says that we actually
carry space and time with us as turtles wear
their armor, meaning that we exist even outside
of time and space.


The theory suggests that the death of
awareness is not possible, but is only a thought
because people identify themselves with their
body. They believe that the body will disappear
sooner or later and that their consciousness
will die with the body.

If the body creates awareness, then awareness
dies along with the body, but if the body
receives consciousness in the same way as
cable TV signal reception, it is clear that
consciousness continues to exist when it leaves
its physical shell. In fact, consciousness exists
outside the boundaries of time and space. It
can be anywhere: in the body and outside the
body. In other words, it is not local in the same
manner as quantum structures.

Lanza also believes that there are several
simultaneous universes. In one universe, the
body is dead while in another one it still exists,
absorbing the consciousness that moved to this
universe. This means that a person who dies
does not end up in heaven or hell, but in a
similar world that was once inhabited, but is
alive again. It so happens again and again.
Multiple Universes
This interesting theory has many supporters,
including many well-known scientists. These
are physicists and astrophysicists who agree
about the existence of parallel worlds and that
indicate the possible existence of multiple
universes. They claim that there are no physical
laws that prevent the existence of parallel
worlds.


Science fiction author, HG Wales in 1895, first
presented this idea. 62 years later, Dr. Hugh
Everett developed it, and the core assumption is
that the universe is divided to countless similar
parts at any time, and that this happens with
every so incurred universe. In one of these
universes you are reading this article and in
another one you might be watching TV.

The initiating factors of this universe division
are our actions, says Everett. If we make a
choice, the universe is immediately divided into
two universes with different outcomes.
Andrei Linde, a scientist with the Lebedev
Institute of Physics, developed the theory of
multiple universes back in the 80s. He is now a
professor at Stanford University. Linde
explained that the universe is composed of
many blown spheres, which increase similar
spheres, which then produce spheres in even
greater numbers, and so on to infinity. These
spheres are completely separate and
independent from each other, but represent
different parts of the same physical universe.
The fact that our universe is not unique is
supported by data obtained with the Planck
telescope.
Scientists are using this data to create the most
accurate map of the cosmic radiation that has
existed since the foundation of the universe.
They also discovered that the universe has a lot
of dark holes.


Theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton
from the University of North Carolina claims
that the anomalies in the area are due to the
fact that the surrounding universes affect our
universe, and that those dark holes are the
direct result.
The scientific explanation for the Soul
So there are many places or many universes in
which our soul can be moved after death,
according to the theory of neo-biocentrism. Is
there a scientific theory of consciousness that
supports this claim? According to Dr. Stuart
Hameroff, near-death experience occurs when
the quantum information that inhabits the
nervous system leaves the body and scatters in
the universe.


He argues that awareness is in the microtubules
of the brain cells, which are the primary site of
the quantum processing.
After death, this information goes out of the
body, together with consciousness. He believes
that our experience of consciousness result of
quantum gravity effects in these microtubules.

How do you preach continuity to workers that have not been paid their salaries for 17 months? How do you preach continuity to pensioners that have not been paid their pensions for 42 months? How do you preach continuity to the people living in Evbotubu and other areas ravaged by flood? - Nigerian Speaks

Adams Oshiomhole has repeatedly lied that he isn't owing workers any salaries in Edo State.

Today,Staff of Local Government Councils across the State dressed in black invaded Benin City in sorrowful and mournful moods protesting the non payment of salaries for as much as 14months in some cases.while others have been owed for 8-12months in most cases.

This is a State where their Governor spends N18m to have channels TV cover his party's campaign almost on a daily basis,Gives each LGA N15m where ever they go for campaign,Spends N67m hiring touts and hoodlums whenever and wherever they go for campaign and the welfare of Government workers mean nothing to him. - Edo Citizen
