And on Sunday too, despite being a Sunday Rules Cult card carrying member!

Below is Sunday Rules, in a nutshell.

To which I now add the rule below, for those minded to join the cult.

To me, it sounds great! It's something I will really do.
I'm starting from conception. Music and reading to them etc and early stimulation is a great idea. You do all you can.

Sounds absurd, right? I hope you know the connection between maths and music. Your child deserves all the help you can give it to succeed in this ever more harsh world.

The Benefits of Playing Music in the Womb

So true!!

You still dey use Sendwave?

Sendwave that exchanges at CBN rates.

Find a local agent and you will get N100 more than Sendwave rate for each transaction

I no longer use Sendwave as well.. When I want to send money I send through friends who are in the money transfer business and have a much higher rate than the CBN rate.

I thought Buda doesn't get tired of educating others. Thanks clarifying that there are two types of sheeps

There are more than two types of sheep o, but one must be most especially very wary of the fox in sheep's skin, because somehow, they've formed an alliance to feed the lion with you, probably so they can themselves feed on the lion's leftovers because they can't themselves possibly kill and feed on very strong you.

You are so funny lol - you work at Nigeria payroll office ?

PrideofLincoln2:
How many Civil Servants in Nigeria earns N200.000 monthly exclusive of the so called Thieflicians. The likes of obixcel at most is N80.000 and that's me being generous and considering the hyper inflation in Nigeria, that's equivalent of N50.000 which is still a poverty wage in my estimation.

They are not camping at Tinubu's house on Bourdillon Avenue daily because of hunger! They are camping at Tinubu's house on Bourdillon Avenue daily because they are stupid and ignorant, and thankfully those are the minority.

The majority hungry but not ignorant are not camping at Tinubu's house on Bourdillon Avenue daily because they are out there struggling really hard to do whatever it takes to get their daily bread.

They do it with other politicians too but I used Tinubu because I knew of him when he was living in Chicago and he was close to my Dad, Mum and Uncle. Most politicians in Nigeria are like that. In a country where an average citizen earns less than $2 daily, what do you expect.

Reading, especially.

I used to ship books to the library in my local authority. The grown ups didn't really care, and wanted the money instead, but all the kids in the neighbourhood would turn up and help me clean the library, so teacher me would teach.

One day, after lots of cleaning, this little girl, barely one year old, could not even talk yet, and use to come with her about 5 year old sister, stood behind me humming ABCD, EFGH. You know the rhyme?

I sat there in tears of joy, for that was my first visible reward after ten years of shipping books to my local authority library.

I am not unfamiliar with what you describe, as you'd see in my posts below. Fact remains that the majority are not begging outside a politicians house but are out working at whatever they can get their hands on for their daily bread.

budaatum:
Even if I do not live in Nigeria, do you think my people back home would not make me feel it with the increase in their demand for money? Please don't make me have to cry to you about their demands, lol.

I was home during GEJ's time running my farm. If I asked them to come work for me at higher than the going rate, they refuse because if they went to stand outside the local government chairman's house he will give them 10 times what I will pay them. Hard working people were earning in a month what lazy fuqs were receiving in a day just for yelling rankadede! But where were these politicians getting the money from, nobody asked! From $150 a barrel of crude oil, of course. Money was so plenty that instead of hiring Joseph to advise them to save during the 7 years of plenty, my people were saying "a ti owo ẹni, a ti owo ẹni ẹlẹni, ki Ọlọrun ma fi kan wọn wọn” - their own money or another person's money, God give them either, with no care where it came from. Now, 7 years of scarcity has started, and you expect me to have sympathy?

Of course purchasing power has gone down, and all those things are happening! But how else would people who lived on rankadede survive when a barrel of crude oil is a third what it was and the person paying them the money has been arrested by EFCC? Do you seriously think we can be putting so much money in ghanamustgo and soakaways and not rue the rewards of our fraud, corruption and incompetence?

No, religion is not necessary. Proper understanding is, and of whatever our ideology is, and of our situation moreso. Unfortunately, we are not Mao's China nor Mahathir's Malaysia, and we are not going to be anytime soon until we understand how we ourselves are the devils who create the hell that we currently live in and decide to make it a heaven full of angels instead, with, as you say, "a new national consciousness". And yes, it begins by questioning so that we may gain understanding and demand better rule instead of selling our vote for ₦3500.

By the way, its for less that ₦1000 in my home town these days! Money don scarce!

budaatum:
I did not call you stupid, Br.ania.cX . I said "How supporting Atiku, a known crook who wishes to sell, or rather, own the golden goose is not stupid, defies reason in my book!" And it was in response to you claiming support for Buhari is a "peculiar kind of stupid". Neither do I believe Buhari can do no wrong.

Atiku is part of the party that ruled when a huge theft of what Nigeria owned occurred in the guise of privatisation. People claim Buhari is no better, but I disagree. When PDP ruled, it just so happened that it was a period when Nigeria enjoyed a boom with our main commodity selling for prices we have never before seen. But where did all that money go? I saw it being spent on the streets of my own home town with people receiving money from politicians just for yelling rankadede. I'd take people to my farm to work all day and pay them above the odds only for them to return home at the end of the day to find some jobless idiot has more in his pocket just for going around with politicians! When Buhari came in that stopped, and I'm glad it did. A nation can't progress when jobless people earn more than those who work.

Now, people would claim Buhari too is corrupt. Personally, I don't believe it, nor have I any reason to. To start with, Nigerians are not stupid. There's no way he can be stealing all by himself without sharing with others, which if he was would be seen by it being spent on the streets but it isn't. But even if he were stealing, he is not stealing as much as was stolen under Atiku and co. The fact that jobless people are starving is evidence that he most likely isn't.

Atiku was specifically responsible for privatisation, which I don't think has served us well. A lot of what was privatised is now moribund since the assets of the privatised companies were just stripped and abandoned. So why would I wish NNPC, the goose that lays the golden egg, privatised by him of all people? Do I need to have two brains to know that even if privatisation were a good thing, he is not the best to be in charge of it? Privatisation may be a good thing in the future. But UK, a forerunner of privatise, are currently ruing the fact they privatised with a lot of privatised institutions not doing so well. And I feel they were more transparent in how they went about it than we would be. Sorry, but I just don't feel now is the right time for it, and even if we were to go ahead with it, I'd rather Atiku not be involved.

Regardless, all the above is simply my opinion. In time, the facts would out, and if it turns out my bubu has been corrupt all along, do expect me to come on here and accept I was wrong and call for his head. I know and expect that you, for one, would not let me off without me eating humble pie. And that is at it should be. Please do not go easy on me. Where I stand is laid out in many threads to condemn me with if I turn out to be the stupid one. And since I sai bubu quite a lot you must not skimp on the size of the humble pie you shove down my deserving throat.

Now, regarding Trump. Personally, my gut tells me not to trust him. Take his wall. 30billion will not be enough to build a wall between Mexico and America so I don't think its a good idea for starts. The wall between East and West Germany is indicative of the silliness of such ideas. People go on about how well he's run the economy when the truth is that America is only just reaping the fruits of Obama's policies. And the way Trump is going, I expect that economic progress to stop. He goes on about climate change being false in an era when the evidence says otherwise. He's given tax cuts to the wealthy. He wants to scrap Obamacare that has favoured millions who beforehand had no care, and so on. We're already seeing the effect of his policies in companies like Apple, and farmers are moaning that there's no market for their soyabeans. The slump in sales blamed on tariffs by some will result in job losses in America and probably a recession, in my opinion.

But the facts, or rather, my facts, hardly matter, or at least they are countered by facts as seen by the other side. For I'm sure you have counter facts to whatever I have to say, which I'm certain you will claim are more valid than mine. And that's the beauty of democracy. On election day, we all go to vote, and the person who gets the most votes becomes President in Nigeria as well as in America. And calling each other stupid will have nothing whatsoever to do with it. And if either of us has a brain in our heads, we'd surely find out.

I never said majority of Nigerians are begging but the ones doing it is enough to alter the political landscape.

I can only hope you are wrong, because if you aren't wrong, Nigeria has clearly not begun to suffer like it will suffer if more looters get to win by buying votes.

For those who don't understand what institutional racism is, check out the front pages to see who features most and wonder why.

Good move.

Not Umudikeans on civil servant salary or those happy with N200k monthly salary though, neither those complaining about £500 rent in London

its what you do with your income that matters.
Whether someone was complaining of 500 BP monthly or not , what he does with his income might be more than an idiot earning 10 times gross.
I have seen lowly paid people with some very solid assets.

A Black Lives Matter rioter who smashed a car window in a 1-year-old child’s face has avoided prison after his lawyer argued that it was a “very emotional time” for the culprit. Yes, really. A video from the incident, which occurred in Fredericksburg VA during last year’s George Floyd riots, shows a BLM mob surrounding the vehicle before Victor Miles II smashes the glass which shatters all over the child in the back seat. The clip appears to show Miles deliberately targeting the toddler. Victor Miles II, a #BLM rioter who smashed in car's window, shattering glass on a 1 year old during last year's riots in Fredericksburg VA, received a 90-day suspended sentence last month. pic.twitter.com/BZrsPmbahB — AntifaWatch (@AntifaWatch2) June 29, 2021 For this despicable act, Miles received a suspended sentence of just 90 days for assault and destruction of property charges and the assault charge will be completely removed from his record if he stays out of trouble for a year. Defense attorney Eugene Frost justified the pathetic sentence by arguing that Miles was angry because, “It was a very emotional time all the way around.” Just to clarify this, if he doesn't get in trouble again, he won't do any prison time A suspended sentence is when a judge gives a sentence but delays imposing it, allowing them to serve probation. If they don't break probation conditions for a period, they'll generally dismiss

White man who intentionally drove into racial injustice protesters avoids prison.

A white man who deliberately sped his car through a crowd of racial injustice protesters in Iowa City, striking many, will avoid prison and have the incident erased from his record if he stays out of trouble for three years.

According to the criminal complaint, Stepanek was in his car behind other vehicles. Stepanek "shut off his lights, and drove around the block, where he chose to turn southbound ... where there were no vehicles between him and the protesters. The defendant intentionally struck multiple protesters with his vehicle and sped away," the complaint said.

Erik Fisher, 20, a University of Iowa student who spoke with USA TODAY, recorded video of the incident from the window of his second-story apartment.

Screams erupt as the vehicle enters the intersection, hitting several people and carrying at least one on the windshield for several yards. "Oh my god, oh my god," Fisher can be heard saying.

Stepanek's lawyer, Assistant State Public Defender John W. Bruzek, said in a statement that his client was "remorseful" for his actions. Bruzek said Stepanek had been "inundated" with "propaganda" that characterized protesters as "criminal, thugs, terrorists," which he initially used to justify his actions.

"He apologizes for his conduct and to those he harmed. Michael is being held to account with a full and clear recognition of how much worse things may have been," the statement said.

Bruzek argued that Stepanek received a "meaningful and just sentence."

"The court gave Michael an opportunity to prove himself during a statutory term of probation and expects him to be a decent person and that he not conduct himself like he did. If Michael doesn't, the court will have the opportunity to convict him and take away the deferred," Bruzek said.

Trump's Organization and its CFO Allen Weisselberg has been indicted by the District Attorney of Borough of Manhattan Mr Cyrus Vance and The New York State Attorney General Ms Letitia James. Good going guys. The Coons and the Cultists are in tears as we speak all over the Fruited Plains and I expect the ones on Nairaland to do the same.

Some unpaid Coon is in pain because the Racist Pig is on his way to the "College".

God bless America. A country where no one no matter how high in society is above the law. Trump's Organization is nothing but a mafioso run Organization that's is grifting innocent people the same way Trump was using Trump's University and Children's Charity to scam innocent victims. The Rooster is finally coming home to Roost. I love America.

Those guys especially whose father and role model is here have been in pains since yesterday talking about me because they tried to lie and got exposed, got exposed how they lack understanding or comprehension. Since then they have been talking about me trolling them person who complained about trolling does it but he does not like the game he likes to play.

The lunatic went on to say WHATS THE POINT OF BEING RICH IF THE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IS FILHTY.

This is someone who claim or try to appear smart. As for me i am done with them for now. I saw that I got under their skin without insulting them, just by using their words and their lunacy against them.

As for the one you responded to, what he is saying or quoting is not inside the book. The book is the discussion.

When we say GOP is party of white supremacists, Benalvino2 and basilico will open mouth to misyarn.

So here we have it, 120 GQP reps voted to keep statues of confederates who fought to keep slavery going while only 67 voted to tear it down.

Let's see what the coons,.cultists and cockroaches have to say about this.

Like I said Ibime is a bit honest than the others but he runs his mouth anyhow.

I was comparing cost of leaving in Nigeria and London. And I said someone who earns 200k in Nigeria and an equivalent os 800k in UK, the Nigeria will save more and even build a house and buy a car in a couple of year compared to someone paying £500 a month in London for a shared room or a shared house. But I don't expect him to use common sense. DissTroy has already exposed him.
