Of course she’s a white woman. A black woman can not show this type of loyalty.

You hit the nail on the head regarding the loyalty of a white woman. If them love you, forget it.

Pant shifting or no pant shifting,at least She was loyal to him and She didn't give up on him which is very commendable unlike other people who would have forgotten him and move on.

That’s just sad they should have pulled the plug once they found out he was brain dead. His chances of ever regaining consciousness were always next to none. It’s just unending suffering for the family.
Chairman,Jean-Pierre Adams was not brain dead. He was in a coma (persistent vegetative state), which is different. Being brain dead means there’s no possibility of recovery, and life support is only maintaining organ function temporarily. Adams was kept alive because there was still some minimal brain function.

Being brain dead means being clinically dead — there is no brain activity, and recovery is medically impossible. If Jean-Pierre had been brain dead, he would not have been placed on oxygen or kept alive for decades. He was kept on life support precisely because there was hope he might regain consciousness.

It's medically impossible to revive anyone/patient who is brain dead — the person is gone forever! Of course,only God can do what's impossible for man to do.

loyalty should be 100%. If her pants were shifted during that period, that wasn't loyalty. That might have contributed to his death.

why do you need perfect grammer and spelling when you understand what the person is saying.
Be cautious about your trust in the intellect for spellings are derived from spells and grammer is derived from the witch craft book of spells called the gremoir , for to everything you choose to memorise you are a prisoner .

When you see wrong spelling or grammer and you understand whats being said , let it go.

even mathematics has its roots in language used to communicate with demons , do research on John Dee the witch craft doctor of queen Victoria of England and one of the greatest mathematicians of his time.

Be careful what you put high on a pedestal , for example Cambridge and Oxford and places of high satanism.

What is Honorable is peace love and mutual respect, and not intellect worship, spells , confusion ,or memorisation.
For anything you are likely to forget in a moment of sudden danger or panic your not meant to be making a habit of memorising it in first place , but most of us have jobs that force us to do this, and its ok to do so with caution, but not to the point where its worshipped.

Wakeup from the matrix of spells and gremoirs to free your mind back to like a child is free, like children dont correct peoples spells and gremoirs cause they are know they are above that.

I have been software engineer for over 30 years ,i do my job like the person that shows me how to get spoon of food into my mouth is teaching me how to do my job, i listen then act. I dont do it like the info is coming from me and i dont rush them to show me the way, and i dont ask them for anything that is not necessary like gremoir or spells of spellings , i use spell checker for that.

I hope you also know that there have in the past been ancient civilisations far more technologically advanced than this one that ended in dust and reclaimed by the jungle, just to prove the point that civilisation of illusions is not the Holy Grail. For example the design of 747 exterior atleast is from the ancient world, and what they copied is still sitting thier in the Egyptian desert to see on google maps.

Non of the things you do outside of sleep, other than peace, quiet and mutual respect can be trusted. That is why the ancient teachers call it world of maya, meaning world of illusions.

Dont get carried away with those spells thier spellings and the gremoir from which they came.

Instead always aim for your mind to be as free as child , and be sure that you will learn from village people and wild animals when you observe their freedom.

This is why Muslims pray 5 times daily , you cannot afford to stay in the maya for too long lest it become real to you and you start correcting illusions that dont exist.

Connect you reality and your dreams , not your memorisation and illusions. Show that respect and you start to see the real world hidden in plain sight from those who dont show respect, be respectful enough never to correct clearly legible speech or grammer, for the person youre correcting is from authority far greater than any man made illusion.

Our world and the nature of our existence is far by far too mysterious and strange to be correcting anybodies gremoir or spells. Throw all that rubbish away and breath a sigh of relief , for the sigh of relief that happens to you is one of the greatest mysteries and blessing too behold.

Dont always treat what you know above a child as necessarily an advantage, at best its a necessary evil, but not a blessing or something to carry like a flag to be identified by.

And always right down your passwords somewhere so that there is little to nothing you fear to forget, not password, not spells nor gremoir.

Also, calling a 34 year old player a promising young footballer is a misuse of english

Adams was a good player for his era, and his peak period was in the 1970's when he played very well.

Also, the fact is, he retired the previous year at the age of 33. Young promising footballer indeed. He did play for France, but his last cap was in 1976. His time had passed.

He was no longer young and promising. His contemprary Tresor(who was still playing in 1982) was already regarded as an 'elder' so to speak.

from wikipedia.


Adams and his wife Bernadette were married in April 1969 and had two sons, Laurent (born 1969) and Frédéric (1976). Following a ligament rupture injury, he was hospitalised for surgery on 17 March 1982 at the Édouard Herriot Hospital in Lyon. Because many hospital staff were on strike during that time, errors were made by his anesthetist and a trainee, who later admitted to being "not up to the task"; as a result, Adams suffered a bronchospasm which starved his brain of oxygen and he slipped into a coma.

In the mid-1990s, when a court of law adjudicated on the case, both the anaesthetist and trainee were given one-month suspended sentences and were fined $815.[19] His wife continued to tend to his needs, refusing to consider euthanasia.

What now happened to the doctor,was he sued or black people just keep quiet because if it was other way round.. I know what the white race can do
He was sentenced and jailed, you people need to take your negative mindset of hate elsewhere. Cases like this happen everyday in this shithole country and the doctors or nurses go scott free, they will even claim money before the corspe is released to the family or mortuary. The only reason the cause of it was known is because it happened over there and not in this shit hole.

Deepspirituals:
Oh ! My God this is so Touchy... Why ... This is a Case of Hatred ... RIP
The world does not revole around you black folks and not everything is hatred towards your kind. You all need to grow up. Cases like this happen a lot in Nigeria, and they all mostly go uninvestigated to find the root cause of the death. But whenever it happens in an advanced society, they always try to find out why; that is the difference between them and us. Did you not hear of the NLNG staff who last his healthy daughter some time last year after she went to the hospital for do checkup on her womb. Investigation shows she died of an anesthetic overdose. The majority of the people who die during an operation in Nigeria die due to wrong anesthetic administration. And it is very rampant. But you will not call it hate. always looking for every means to put the white man down. hypocrites.

EyeCumInPiece:
He died at the age of 34years (73 minus 39 years)

They should have administered mercy killing on him and saved him and family all the stress.
Obviously, the wife loved him too much to let him go like that; she had hope. It is not that easy to do.
