I'm not even sorry she's dead cos she chose to die.
When a human created religion has more value than your own life and existence, I just can't.

I don't know if her child survived but if it did, then she's the worst mother ever.

When you have the best PR personnel. Sadly he never spews intelligence at interviews.

realmindz:
he committed a crime, he broke the law and he will face the consequences of his actions.
He might choose to learn from his mistakes and seek better means of solving his problems rather than theft..

We humans have made laws for ourselves regarding this situation and we dont need the gods or religion to tell us what to do.

don't get it confused, no one is perfect and our sense of judgement may be wrong, we can only learn to improve over our past, but the foolish will never learn. That's different from holiness where you try to live by a standard of religion amd laws written by gods imposing holiness

Will you choose righteousness or holiness?

pleasing your god/religion over your fellow man and/or laws made by men for societal benefits.

Will you give your tithe to church when your neighbour is in need?

A colleague at work is celebrating a birthday, everyone wished him happy birthday except a certain Jehovah witness who will never wish him because he his being holy....He is pleasing his god/doctrine over human. That is holiness

Are you righteous or holy?

I never claimed to be either. I can only strive to be Morally Righteous. Holiness is a status I consider impossible to attain cos how can any one claim to be Perfect and Flawless in deed, utterance and in thought?

Even if one achieves Holiness in deed and utterance, it's impossible to keep your thoughts holy in this sinful world where you can't even control what you're exposed to.

However Moral Righteousness is a factor of Geography. What's morally right varies across cultures/tribe/country/race as you rightly adjudged it to societal and human discretion.

So technically no one can even be morally righteous. You can only be morally righteous in your locality.lol

realmindz:
Righteousness is simply applying your conscience and common sense.
Righteousness is to humanity
Holiness is to religion/gods
a holy person will rather do things that pleases his gods than do things that favour humanity.
For example, a Jehovah witness will never sing national anthem because it's a sin when a patriotic citizen will.
A patriotic citizen of Nigeria won't support homosexuality either.
Some religions are anti-civilisation and the followers will do everything to enforce them against humanity causing backwardness. That's holiness.
Some people don't use drugs believing it's a sin and their gods will cure them, that's holinesss.

I know for me, the doctor has advised against alcoholic drink, and I go ahead to drink and have serious consequences...then I am facing the consequences of my actions not a god punishing me, next time I will apply my common sense not to drink.
well a doctor advised you to take a table spoon of strong wine every night for your health condition, you say alcohol is a sin and you refuse. That's Holiness, doing what you are told just to please your god wether right for you or wrong

"Righteousness is simply applying your conscience and common sense." according to you.

So every one decides what he deems Righteous, by your definition.
A graduate loses his job, he has a wife and kids to feed with another baby on the way. He's tried to play by the rules, applied for jobs, even picked up a menial job to make ends meet but his boss delays his payment, maybe cos the economy is bad so business is bad or the guy mistakenly damage company property, bottom line he's not paid.
He ends up alone in the office one night, sees a briefcase, "borrows" N300,000 to solve his family issues.
To him, that was Right, how could he let his family starve to death?

Was that Righteous? If nabbed, should he be arrested and jailed?
Should he have let his family starve to death?

Sibrah:
Please bro, you seem to know about labour related issues. I have a situation where my employer sacked me under questionable circumstance and has refused to release my letter of sack. They claim I might sue them(learnt this from former colleagues in the system). Please, how would you advice I go about it?

Not privy to that knowledge.
This might help you know if you have a case though.

This reminds me of the story Frank Abagnale (Leonardo DiCaprio) Catch Me If You Can.

The DSS should probably employ him, they'll find he can be very useful to them. Who better to catch a thief that a better thief.lol

GEJ had every thing going for him but still failed.
PMB has every thing working against him so he's failing.

During GEJ's admin, Nigeria was wealthy but plagued by corruption and impunity.
PMB's admin is broke and the anti-corruption campaign created more enemies across all strata of the polity breeding saboteurs in all sectors.

GEJ's admin was haunted by Boko Haram, PMB's admin is haunted by Boko Haram, NDA, IPOB, Propagandists, Wailers, etc

GEJ gave up on us, PMB is defiant to the last and unlikely to stop till things get right.

I tried to text you but Bae was with my phone.

Op learn to play your position, you're the side piece. You're going offside.

samnaija:
@pressplay if someone says prayer works for him. why u wan make him use ur method. na by force. simply any method that works for u use it. do not let anybody tell u otherwise as if the have a phd on the subject.

Lol I'm an advocate of "whatever works for you" just letting him know it's a natural phenomenon just like having cramps or pins & needles.

VickyRotex:
Hahahahaha. Thanks Sweetheart. But its not as easy as it sounds. Cos there's just a lot to do trust me. Not tryna form too busy.
These days when I sleep for 5 or 6 hours, it's a great achievement o

My body has even gotten used to not sleeping before 12 or 1am. Last night I was so tired, so I slept from 11pm and woke up 2am, it felt like I've slept all my life. Havent slept since then.

It's only at times, I can use that luxury, when there isn't really much to do. Its well!

Your body clock has been re-adjusted. Perhaps you made it a habit at some point. Watching late nite movies or waking up very early to work?
To reset your body clock try going to bed early and reading a boring book, an old difficult textbook I never like does this for me. (You learn something new and dose off before you know it.)
Our body/mind has its inbuilt alarm. I know people who have never set an alarm to wake up, they just naturally wake up at their determined time.

Dreamwaker:
In the past I would have similar dreams, first thing as an African man was to think the bad people are after me. It happened for a while until I googled it and found out it wasn't supernatural. I used to drink a lot then so it was probably the alcohol that caused mine.

Its a horrible feeling and its worse when it lasts long. Praying usually works for me because I'm awake spiritual or mentally but unable to wake up physically but as I'm praying, I'm trying to open my eyes and after a few mins, I open my eyes. Sometimes I panic sha and I'm stuck somewhere between the real world and dream world all alone.

It's good to know what works for you.
Have you actually tried, not praying?
Once you realise it's normal and do not panic, you ease out of it and wake up.
The fear of dying usually makes one panic that's when you remember all the names of Jehovah that are not even in the bible. But no, it's not a spiritual attack. Apparently no one has died from it @least that I know of.

Congratulation On Your Well Deserve Promotion. You're Now An Executive Prostitute.

Show some respect to someone whose salary in a month can solve all your family problems for a year.

HCpaul:
But angelic rapes are right as permitted by your God.
When David killed someone else's husband because he wanted to marry the woman, it was overlooked by Yahweh. David is truly a man after Yahweh's heart just that both are adulterers. God also instructed Onan to sleep with his brothers wife. Lots daughters also slept with their father. Jacob had a concubine. Solomon had hundreds of concubines and he was still able to be the wisest man in the Bible. Finally, Abraham (the father of faith) got married to his maid.

Get it right, drinking is right cuz you and I drink everyday. Once you do not drink away your common sense, you are a good drinker. Drinking too much of water is as bad as drinking too much of wine.

Masturbation on the other hand is not a crime. It helps common adults and sex starved youths to control themselves. It also helps to reduce rape. It's only not recommended whenever it becomes an addiction 'the same way we can be addicted to any other thing/act when we get too attached'. Besides, that is far more better than the crimes committed in the Bible.

Let's just be sane and let's realize that we are human.

Please don't by misconception think that atheists indulge in those acts.... We are not just silly to criticize them.

I can't help but notice you said nothing about Homosexuality?
Was that an oversight or to you it's right?

Shi just got real.
If she has a case, the company is in deep shi cos with a good lawyer, she don hammer!

The fear of unemployment is the beginning of joining the 2face protest.

AtlanticBreeze:
The February 6 protest is turning out to be a joke. The same hungry APC youths that helped through social media to deceive gullible Nigerians and make buhari president are now the ones conducting the protest having partnered with Tuface.

An anti government protest that was originally billed to protest against the failed policies of buhari and his government, the killings in Nigeria, the hunger, the forex, the corruption and what not have been watered down by one APC media platform that goes by @EiENigeria on twitter https://twitter.com/EiENigeria which is now hosting the protest alongside Tuface.

They have now centered the protests around all state governments even though some state governors are doing exceptionally well. It is either Nigerians beckon on tuface to dump this political jobbers or this protest will end up being a charade.

It is better for @EIENigeria to hold their own protest and allow the Nigerian youths led by Tuface to protest the current irregularities and hardship going on in Nigeria. This partisan group started by attacking Fayose who is the the only known opposition figure in Nigeria, alongside Fani Kayode.

Just so you know. @EIENigeria is run by the following people who were part of Buhari's campaign as can be verified in this thread..

Don't waste you time attending a protest staged by the same group that helped in taking Nigeria to where it it presently. Be wise.

This is serious. The whole nation has for once agreed on one cause. Every tribe, religion, party, sex, complexion, shape and size has agreed to voice out against this government.
This government has indeed failed everyone.
I remember when NLC championed the plight of the people, now they fuvkrs have been silenced with ghana-must-go bags.
Otherwise this protest should have been supported by NLC and there would have been a strike.


2Baba Tuale!

brainy4oli:
Buhari won't die. And I pray he doesn't. He is still a human, a father and a husband, though he has flaws. All I pray is for Nigeria to get better. I can't wish death to a family man, genuinely liked by some people though a few, but they include his immediate family. Or u can just imagine d pain of Zahra losing her father.

But if I'm offered two options - Buhari lives and Nigeria goes into free fall negatively; or Buhari dies and Nigeria improves remarkably, good power, plenty jobs, increased naira strength; then I guess I'll have to be patriotic. Zahra will get over it. Death isn't a big deal really. How many people even live up to 70 in Nigeria these days? It's even a privilege if your death opens way for others, or abi how una see dis mata?

In other news I just got my German visa, after my second attempt. Soon I'll be singing "Hello from the other side".

And his death would "improve Nigeria remarkably, good power, plenty jobs...'
You sound like you're still in kindergarten.

Your flight to Germany is long over due. Good riddance.

My loyalty to Buhari is unquestionable but the Protest is inevitable. I hope to join the protest, if it's peaceful.

TonyeBarcanista:
Nice try but you missed it.

Rally: People coming together to cheer a common cause.

Protest: People coming together to demonstrate against a cause/institution.


The #IStandWithBuhari group is proposing a rally, the Tuface group is planning a protest.

What's your argument? Didn't you see Protest clearly in the definition of Rally?
Ok you're right, the dictionary is wrong.

TonyeBarcanista:
OP that wasn't a protest, it was a rally. The rally was about APC being the saviour and not about Jonathan.

Beside, it was held during election period.

Rally: A demonstration; an event where people gather together to protest for or against a given cause.

Let me just leave that there.

Who determines what is right or wrong?

Is drinking right?
Is masturbation right?
When you fight wars, is killing then some times right?
Homosexuality hurts no one, religion aside is it wrong?

Agreed there's a need to disambiguate righteousness and holiness but who then determines what is righteous?

Wehdone Sir!
Davido not gonna like this.

preetyb:
Guy your eyes never still open?

My eyes should open to what exactly?
I'm not blind to the deplorable state of the economy. In fact, things have never been worse for the country. But truth remains that the failure of this Buhari's administration is not for lack of trying but abortive efforts.

-We know Power/Electricity is not going to work until Atiku says so (Or you forget his Mikano business is profiting off our darkness)

-Fuel/Gas remains unstable blame GEJ's kinsmen in the NDelta who keep vandalising the oil pipes.

-War against corruption will continue to be at a gridlock as the cases will rot in court as long as the judiciary has been bought with Dasuki Gate loot. Only the Military can fight the corruption level of this country.

-Forex will continue to skyrocket as long as GEJ's pawn remains the CBN governor. Why Buhari hasn't fired/sacked/suspended/jailed this criminal called Emefiele is unfathomable to me.

Yes things are terrible and it is the onus of the President of the country to provide succor for the nation but we need to realise that he's just one sheep among wolves, there's only so much he can do. Nigeria is not ripe for Democracy. Our leaders need the Military that will beat some sense into them at least for 8 years before we start practising Democracy.
The level of impunity in the country presently is apocalyptic.

boldinc:
Your fiancee would be in a better position to earn more points cos of her ACCA which is usually evaluated as a separate degree... With that, you can select the '2 or more degrees' option.

But then, are you applying as a couple? You said fiancee...

we planned getting married in December but might apply as common law if we will eventually apply before marriage

When will Lai Mohammed get it? Nigerians will call you a Liar when you tell the truth and a Hero when your robbing them blind.

He should stop telling us the real state of the economy, that's not what Nigerians/Wailers want to hear.
They want to hear stupid and empty promises like their hero from Otuoke.

Feed Us Lies and We Will remain Loyal - This should be in Nigerian National Pledge.

good morning all. I was referred here to learn about the permanent residency and I'm impressed at the level of information.

while I'm reading through from begining, I'll like to ask a question

I'm a degree holder with ICAN and CISA while my fiancee has ACCA and Oracle certified, I'd like to know if any of these qualify us to tick masters/professional certifacation

please advise

erunz:
If you say this in 2015 gullible who have believed you, but this 2017 , my brother people eyes Don clear and they now know the truth. PMB is a failure

Quick analogy
GEJ is the driver and everyone's complaining he's slow, he's a bad driver, he's breaking traffic lights, nearly crashed the bus. We boot him out.
PMB takes over the bus. The bus is in shambles, no fuel, flat tyres, brake is dead, engine is a mess.
Even if Buhari is Lewis Hamilton, he can't do shi. He needs to first fix the tyres, get the brakes fixed, and spend time either fixing or getting the engine replaced. this takes time. Sadly he can't sell the bus.
Meanwhile GEJ and his contractors know that PMB is bound to make them look bad and find all their means of extorting the people, so they plant road blocks, nails to keep bursting the tyres and reroute the journey towards hills that'll keep ruining the engines.

So tell me what should PMB do, when he's been compelled to sign a treaty that he can't touch GEJ which is clearly the solution to taking the passengers to their destination??

This is what's wrong with this country... eediats everywhere.

Don't you know GEJ put you in this mess?

Cheap publicity.
