2. Your traditional marriages are designed as an agreement in which the man buys the woman's submission by taking responsibility for her financial needs. Most don't consider that as love but a simple transaction and that is what this woman here is recorded expressing.
Love is real and greed too is real. It is just that greed has overridden love in many hearts. God so love the world...and gave. It is greed that makes people want to take and not give themselves in relationship.
Last time I checked, SE plays host to the highest number of billionaires in the world.
Based on ipob bureau of statistics, the SE has 970 billionaires per square centimetre.
Commonsense should alert youfhat SE will always come first in indices measured per space or on density basis because Kaduna alone is bigger than SE times two.
maleekberry: We don't produce anything,ours is just to import and consume.
On a normal day those containers are supposed to be filled up with what we produce but the reverse is the case.
Even if one is able to export, the bottlenecks are just too frustrating walahi. No electronics, no furnitures, no toys, very little food, and mostly crude is what we export. A pity.
I have been seriously brainstorming about the rational behind this move. I can't seem to make any sense of it. Once prices go up, demand should drop and so what is the point increasing supply before a price increase?
Uprightness100: The Russian Foreign Ministry says that Russia warns Ukraine, Moldova and NATO against attacking Transnistria. Russia will protect the population and its soldiers. An attack on Transnistria will be interpreted as an attack on Russia itself. Transnistria, officially the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, is a pro Russian unrecognised breakaway state that is internationally recognised as a part of Moldova.
Trying to define Russia's boundaries by the distribution of Russian speakers is dumb.
Uprightness100: Russia defense ministry: "radioactive substances hv been transported 2 ukraine frm a european country and kyiv is preparing a nuclear attack on its own soil in coming days to blame it on moscow
Putin is deeply daft o. So Ukraine after shedding blood and sacrificing lives to defend their territory will resort to blowing up same territory and at a time they are getting better weapons from NATO?
BentizilL: The only people that made themselves a laughing stock are the western countries being disgraced and trying so hard to retain their Hegemony...
Are you sure? I doubt. A few days' job is now dragging into a carry on tradition sir. The west can never be a laughing stock here, even if Ukraine should fall, something I am beginning to doubt once more.
plaindealer: I was actually expecting you to show us what your isi ewu useless and incompetent village leaders are doing with your allocations, at least show us 1 borehole or classroom they commissioned.
...but of course, the only thing you sit at-home slaves are known for in that unproductive and poor region is beheading your own people..
Sad.
it is better to commission a torchlight or even toothpick at fair cost as opposed to commissioning inflated rice mills that will keep a state in debt for years to come and probably won't be utilized beyond 20% of its capacity. Go to google and see how much rice mills cost. You should be ashamed of yourself and stop replying to your own halicinations.
plaindealer: Yes, Lagos is corrupt, but your village and your useless and incompetent leaders that are not corrupt can not corrupt can not even commission ordinary boreholes, the only thing you commission is bloodbaths, killings, beheading and sit at home.
So, what is your excuse and who is pocketing your own allocations since you and your kind can not show us anything from your sit-at-home slavery SE region?
I call on BMC team leaders to restock their first aid boxes. Withdrawal symptoms can be hard to deal with.
GoodGovernance: Rice Mill without guaranteed continuous and continual supply of raw material (rice paddy)?
No nearby rice farms other than agreement with states quite far from Lagos!
White elephant project loading.....
Lol. All those bogus figures are meant to justify the inflated cost and deceive voters. That rice mill cannot cost more than 750 million dollars from my estimate
pocom35: President Buhari recently commissioned the largest Rice Mill in Africa and the 2nd largest in the world by production capacity in Imota, Lagos state.
The project has been in the making for over 6 years. The plan to build a new rice Mill in Imota, Lagos was first launched by the previous administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and completed by the current Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwoolu.
A 2.5 hectare land was chosen in Imota to host the plant.
It features 16 silos of 2500MT each bringing it's total storage capacity to 40,000MT.
The plant is built to process 200,000MT of rice Paddy annual. No rice Mill across Africa comes close in terms of capacity.
To feed the plant with such quantity of rice. Partnership were finalized with other Nigerian states including Ekiti, Benue, Borno, Sokoto and Kwara.
The plant has two production lines capable of producing 650 bags of rice every hour or 2.4 million bags every year.
The job potential is around 250,000 for both direct and indirect as stated by the Lagos state commissioner for Agriculture, Abisola Olusanya.
Rice importation cost Nigeria about $1.65 Billion. This rice Mill aims to change that eventually.
This analysis is false and poor. There is no way processing of 200,000 bags of rice per month will create even 250,000 indirect jobs. This is just a ploy to justify the inflated cost of the plant and confuse innocent Nigerians into thinking APC is creating jobs fas enough.
It is a crime against humanity as much the west deem animal meat consumption/potential extinction a crime. If animals deserve survival humans too do and homosexuality threatens that survival.
money is very little portion of things but help exchange things tangible(products) and intangible(services) and so is often confused for everything or as being equal to everything.
Great piece. This applies to Nairaland so much. So many are here to project what satisfies their stomach as right and have no regard for what is actually right.
SweetBuns: Why would they have one? Why should they have one?
Having an erection means you're ready to take a responsibility. A tasking responsibility that is not for broke boys and effeminate males.
Having an erection signifies that you're ready to copulate, take care of an adult like yourself and a child/children. Having an erection means you're ready to build a home.
Hence, if you're incapable of doing such, why are you carrying your silly erections everywhere? Erections that will only add to the problems of society,?
Nigeria is an example of this terrible trend. Lots of broke guys having erections and the result? Lots of children uncared for plus numerous juvenile delinquents.....There is a motorcycle rider here, the guy has 8 CHILDREN... I am sure he earns between 1-3$ everyday but why will a broke guy like him have 8 good children? During this pandemic, his children run around and beg for food in our street, one of his oldest sons was caught with his bad company of friends while they were trying to burgle an old grandma's house.
Long story short, if you're broke, don't have erections. Stop bragging on dick length FGS. Hide your erection and work on your life!
TL;DR Get your shit together and stop disturbing ladies with your broke and problematic erections.
our national budget cannot cater for our needs yet we are building roads to Niger Republic and politicians are painting Dubai red. How about that?
What is the essense of the BVN compliant account numbers and biometric captures if money was paid to those ghost. This kind of scheme is always a broad one that spans many units or Dept's across multiple MDAs. Chances are high it will be swept under the carpet by an administration notorious for mouthing a fight against corruption but in protecting it.
hopefulLandlord: Good day to you all. I assume we all know the story of how the curses came to be. Anyways here's a recap. Adam and Eve, who were the first humans, were created by Yahweh and put in a garden full of different trees that beared many different fruits. Yahweh then warned them that they can eat from all tree except one. Eve then -allowed herself to be- talked into eating that specific fruit by a talking snake and later gave Adam the fruit and he too ate it. When Yahweh came and discovered what they did he was understandably livid so he decided to lay a curse on not only them but all who'll come after them. Genesis 3 is where the curses are. Let's see them:
[b]14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." 16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." 17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, `You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."[/b]
As you can see, these are curses that not only makes life very difficult for these two but also their offsprings. Since these curses were put upon these humans by an omnipotent and omniscient entity that created them you'd assume the curse wouldn't possibly have a workaround, at least not through non spiritual means.
it may be shocking to Christians when they find out now there are ways of living one's life without experiencing the effects of these curses layed by this entity. Let's examine them
Money! You heard that right, with money one can live all life without having to struggle to feed or give birth to children without pain of childbirth.
Let's first face the curse put on man saying he'd have to struggle to eat and he might even struggle and not get any food to eat but we can see that with enough money one can go an entire lifetime without struggling to do it. Let's take a family like the Walton Family. The children and grandchildren of Alice Walton wouldn't know what struggling to feed mean as far as their lives are concerned. Feeding would never be a problem to them at all. Anyone born into generational wealth and died in it wouldn't even feel that curse at all.
To the Eve curse. The curse about her having to go through excruciating pain just to have children while true in the past can now be done through science without going through any pain at all. If a woman now has enough money she and her husband can hire a gestational surrogate mother. Doctors would then take an egg from the wife and sperm from the husband and then place the embryo into the uterus of a gestational surrogate. This surrogate then carries the baby to term and gives birth. Here's where the magic then happens, The baby if tested for DNA would not match that of the woman that gave birth to it and went through all the pangs, spitting, morning sickness, mood swings, water breaking, labour and tearing but rather match that of the husband and wife. so the wife has a child without going through any form of pain. This is what many female movie stars are now doing so they can have all the kids without any of the pain and body changes that comes with it.
For the other curse about the snake and the woman's offspring saying the snake would be attacking humans and humans would in turn try to kill snakes. Civilisation and scientific improvements has now made snakes not to be considered amongst the animals feared most by humans. Infrastructural development has grown leaps and bounds from the hut and bushes era of the Bible so much so that most children of today would most likely not see a live snake all their lives except they go to a zoo let alone attack or get attacked by one. Most Lagosian children of nowadays for instance have not seen a snake except in movies etc and the chances of seeing one gets smaller and smaller as the nation develops more and Lagos is not as developed as the places like New York City, London, Paris, Tokyo etc. the more developed a place is the less the chances of its inhabitants encountering snakes in uncontrolled environments.
so in summary with money and technological advancements the curses from Yahweh on Adam and Eve's offsprings are getting worked around by humans of this century and it would only get easier in the future which begs the question how can an omniscient and omnipotent entity lay a curse that can be loopholed through non spiritual means?
I think this lends credence to the idea that this book Christians say they revolve their lives around is not inspired by any knowledgeable entity but they just observed what was happening at the time then tried to make sense of it by telling themselves that some entity is the one that made their women go through painful childbirth and their men having to plant and struggle to feed and having thorns disrupt their farming. They saw snakes attacking them on their farms, they had no antivenom and they were dying so they built a story around what must've caused it. just like we created stories around why a tortoise's shell looks like a smooth shell that got shattered then hastily glued together. Or what do our Christians think about this post? is there something I'm missing?
Rubbish. Money is for exchange of things and services. So money can't negate a curse. The process of getting things done may have become easier but so have needs multiplied and that makes life just a tasking if not more tasking.
