Estherqueen50:
The truth is that you shouldn't allow anyone to make you feel bad because you are beautiful.
People might assume wrong things about you but just be true to yourself.
Remember everyone is entitled to their own opinion, you choose the one to put into consideration.
And when it's time for you to get what you want, God will definitely bring it to pass.

Succinctly said
Do you reside in Delta state?

Good day my people, I I'll be brief in the best way. I currently work in a factory here in Ibadan which hardly give me breathing space because, I work from Monday to Saturday between 8am to 7;30pm during morning duties. I also go through night duties in this factory, in which most of the time I get sick due to stress. I am being paid 40k a month as a university graduate because I have tried getting a decent job but none was coming because I hate asking from my uncles. Now, I received a call from one of my bosses where I did my industrial training in ikeja to come and help him lecturer in some departments in Lagos State college of Health and technology where he will be paying me directly. I have always had passion for academic, during my nysc, I lectured at osun State college of Health and technology. This man has been a good mentor to me who sees my potential for teaching because God has blessed me with ability to impart knowledge. Now my question is what should I do.

If the lecturing job offer is genuine

Exploring the Developmental Trend of Human Society
Xuefeng
January 17, 2020
(Translated by Qinyou and Edited by Kaer)



It is not moral preaching but the advancement of science and technology that change human thinking and living conditions.
The invention of steam engines in the 1860s changed the way that people traveled and dressed and brought about the appearance of ships, trains, and the international cotton textile and the steel industries. The invention of electrification in the 1870s brought electric lights, telephones, airplanes, and cars to people, which changed their life patterns. The inventions and innovations of atomic energy and microprocessor based calculators in the middle-twentieth century not only brought people a new thinking mode, but also brought us into a new era, especially the scientific and technological revolution in electronic communication in the beginning of the twenty-first century which accelerated the change of people’s thinking and life patterns in all aspects.

As for the moral preachings of Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam, it is the same today as it was two centuries after their founding prophets lived. The moral education of Confucianism in traditional Chinese culture is even more stretched; it has no effect on people’s thinking and brings no effective changes to the way that people live. Mao Zedong’s ideological and moral education, which was popular in China from the 1950s through the 1960s not only failed to bring freedom and wealth to people, but it also cultivated countless hypocrites and corrupt officials. The facts have proven that the more emphasis that is placed on moral education, the worse people’s living conditions become and the more cunning people’s characters turn, while the more rapid the development of science and technology are, the more people’s lifestyles and living standards improve for the better.

Today, it is not moral education that changes people’s thinking, behavior, and life patterns, but scientific revolutions and technological innovations such as computers, mobile phones, videos, and biotechnology. With continuously emerging new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, facial recognition, and so on, people’s thinking will undergo revolutionary leaps, and people’s traditional life patterns will be completely subverted.

With mobile phones and other social media, who would still send love letters and family greetings through snail mail? With powerful cars, who is still willing to ride ox-carts and carriages? With fast airplanes, who would still ride to faraway places on horseback? With GPS navigation systems, who wants to look for places on street maps? The invention and creation of science and technology force people to change their traditional lifestyles. It is not a question of whether we are willing to do this, but a matter of necessity.

In addition to science and technology, the core factors that change people’s ways of living and thinking, another major factor is institutions, systems, and programs. Different systems lead to different ways of thinking and living. For example, mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore are all Chinese, but their social styles are totally different due to their different systems. As far as their systems are concerned, the more open and free a system is, the more advantageous the development of its productive forces will be, the more vibrant the society is, the more active people’s thinking becomes, and the better the people’s living conditions become; while the more closed and conservative a system is, the less freedom it has, the more it hinders the development of productivity, the more lifeless it is, the lower people’s degree of happiness is, the more rigid their thinking is, and the more ignorant the people remain.

Let us compare the United States, Iran, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe.

The United States was founded only two hundred years ago, but its productive forces have flourished from the beginning through the present, and its society has unlimited vitality. This proves that its system is superior.

Historically, the Persian Kingdom once created a splendid civilization, but after the Ayatollahs took power in 1980, Iran embarked on an autocratic system that combines politics with religion, and they have declined since then.

Venezuela used to be the wealthiest country in South America, but since Nicholas Maduro took over the supreme power of the country in 2013, he implemented an autocratic dictatorship and changed the country’s operating system; and as a result, the country has gone from bad to worse and become the country with the most severe economic collapse and the worst national life in the world today. A country of just thirty-two million people has created four million refugees; this is how different systems produce different outcomes.

Zimbabwe was once the granary of southern Africa and the most pleasant garden-like country in the world, but since they gained their independence in 1980, they have been governed by Robert Mugabe. As Mugabe became more conservative and authoritarian, the country’s currency collapsed by 2009, and its people were becoming desperate.

After analyzing the above factors, let us look at the developmental trend of human society.

The current systems in China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and several other countries will collapse. No matter how the autocratic systems are controlled, due to the massive emergence of computer networks and mobile phone communication videos, no matter how effectively their firewalls block people from receiving new information, the spread of information is unstoppable, and people will become less and less tolerant of authoritarian rule.

Market economies will replace all other forms of economic models.

The movement of people will become freer and more frequent. The concept of hometown will only exist in people’s minds, and that of “where there is bread, there will be motherland” will be deeply rooted in people’s minds.

Religion, culture, and nationality will gradually merge, religion will go into decline, culture will develop toward the American style, and nationalist sentiment will fade.

The concept of countries will gradually fade, a global government will appear, and people will move toward it.

Various kinds of social and non-governmental organizations and teams will spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and they present social wonders of a hundred flowers blooming in a variety of forms.

Marriage, as one of the most ignorant phenomena in human society, will gradually disappear as the traditional nuclear family mode gradually disintegrates. People are more keen to rely on their emotions and live with folk collective production and life modes such as in Japan’s Konohana Family.

After experiencing great changes, turbulence, and integration, the world will move toward unity and countries will disappear completely. Eventually, the values of Lifechanyuan will be deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and the New Oasis for Life mode created by Lifechanyuan will blossom everywhere.

The above is only the developmental trend of human society as analyzed from the evolution of social factors. The inventions and creations of science and technology and the evolution of systems are not enough to constitute such huge social changes. Another extremely explosive factor that will also play a role is the vicissitudes which will be brought about by climate. Fires, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, plagues, scorching heat, freezing cold, droughts, and similar disasters will be staged in turn and become more and more severe and harsh which will force all of human society to move towards the Lifechanyuan era. This will be an objective law that does not evolve with people’s subjective will.

Let us wait and see!

Nice thought

Everyone Tries to Their Best Ability

and Takes What they Need Freely

- Series of the Bright Spots of the Second Home (now New Oasis for Life)(15)




Yixian Celestial

(Translated by Tongxin and Edited by Kaer)

January 28, 2014



When Karl Marx described his ideal communist society of the future, his most well-known quote has always been,“from each according to their ability and to each according to their needs”. That wealth which is “distributed” according to peoples needs is a concept that has been and is always being changed by our national leaders in order to meet whatever requirements they have at any particular time, but it is not Marx’s original expression. Meanwhile, the practice in China proves that it does not matter whether wealth is distributed based on labor or on need because both have their shortcomings. Firstly, if wealth is distributed according to labor, who will be the ones to decide how much should be given to each laborer, and if the value of labor cannot be recognized fairly, it will surely cause unfairness and conflicts. In terms of “distribute according to one’s needs”, as long as there is a consciousness of distribution, there are differences of classes or grades, and a complete fairness will not be reached. Secondly, the distributor cannot be clear to know the needs of all the people, it will cause egalitarianism, and some people might get more than enough while other people’s needs will not be fully met.



Then, the market economy comes. It stimulates the vanity of society and people have more choices on working. Some people with good abilities become rich first, but because of the cruel competition and some political reasons, many others have no opportunities or stages upon which to utilize their talents. When everything is based on money, products are abundant and people can buy them freely on the market, but you cannot acquire these products no matter how badly you need them if you lack the money. Therefore in order to survive in society, most people have to do jobs that they do not like. Besides, your labor value is determined by the market and when “the market” is not successful, your hard work and contributions will not be enough to provide you with a comfortable and happy life.



In the Second Home, everything is simple. For permanent residents in the Second Home, the community is responsible for your food, clothes, shelter, transportation, birth, aging, sickness and death, the nursing and caring of the elderly, and the education of children. You neednot worry about anything in life any more and the life quality is beyond the average level of the life standard in the world. The natural environment is excellent: clean, tidy, with flowers, trees, and birds surrounding you, and everyone has a bedroom, which is a sacred space that will not be disturbed by anyone without your permission.



To ensure the effective running of the community life program, there are many jobs from which people may choose. These“jobs” are not related to money, but they are only emerging for the life needs of the community. No currency is used within the community, work is divided among all members, and people serve each other rather than owe each other.



The building of the Second Home includes many aspects of life -- it is a big stage. Whatever talents you have, you may put into full use and you need not worry about lacking the opportunities to realize your dream. Wherever possible, the community will create chances for you to demonstrate your abilities and people can always find jobs that they like and that fit them.



In the public canteen, there is always enough food, tea, and snacks for people to take, and in the storeroom, all kinds of daily use items are abundant and people can take them anytime they need to. If you have extra clothes which are relatively new, you may send them to the storeroom and people will share them; in the medicine room, most of the often used medicines are available for anyone to use. If you want something that needs to be bought on the market, the community will buy it for you, the only principle is: no luxury or waste, and on the basis of the community’s financial ability.



Work is divided and people serve each other, all resources are shared among all the people. The Second Home has achieved the goal of, “everyone tries to his best ability and takes what they need freely, people’s talents are fully utilized, and everything is used to its best values".

The inherent flaws in human nature such as greed and covetousness is the reason we cannot get that Karl Marx stage of communism where " each according to his ability and to each One according to his needs".
This your view of a place where all these will be actualize is Utopia

People don't brush the tongue that's why it smells.

The tongue is responsible for bad breath.

Shokoloko:
About 15 - 20 years ago, anti-harassment servicom either did not exist or was not functional. We wrote to the school management, involved the Dean and VC and then the real harassment started. Her exam papers from a couple of other lecturers (in solidarity with him) started getting missing. Even the Dean, SEET could not find the papers. He kept urging for a peaceful resolution. But Remi Uche rejected every non-sexual compensation - money, gifts.
We actually didn't know what to do.

Mehn! That man, Remi Uche is really wicked.
Your sister went through alot.
Is the lecturer still in FUTO today?

Shokoloko:
Remi Uche
FUTO
Frustrated all the cute girls in SEET.
Either you succumbed or had to look for a way to befriend his wife. Real he-goat and community penis specializing in those that did not want him.
My sister had to leave in third year to start afresh. Thankfully she was starting afresh outside the country

She left the school because of one randy lecturer?
She should have sent a petition against him to the school management via anti- harassment servicom.

Onyiiobi7735:
Good evening all.
I am from Anambra state but residing in Rivers state presently,precisely in Oyigbo LGA.
Am a graduate of Public Administration from UNIZIK,presently waiting for NYSC.
Before and during my school days,I took interest in learning Spanish language in addition to French which I had already begun learning during secondary school days.
I mainly used dictionaries,grammar books to learn and master French that I can read and understand the language.My uncle's wife who is a French teacher at a seminary gave me a dictionary which though small helped me greatly.
But I also made use of her textbooks and bigger dictionaries.

On gaining admission to UNIZIK, I took interest in Spanish language, but what drew me to the language was the songs "La tortura", Ojos asi,Si Te Vas, La Pared all by Colombian Singer,Shakira.
I later in my third year downloaded Spanish learning apps and Google translation app to fully master Spanish.
Meanwhile I also downloaded Offline translator which translates English to Spanish, French,Portuguese, Turkish,Russian.
These apps helped me greatly.
Today,I can read and understand French and Spanish written or spoken.This has made me to so much watching Spanish language Telenovelas,read French language books I pick in the university library.
The thing is I read and understand the languages perfectly,but am not fluent in speaking them.
Maybe because am not exposed to environments speaking any of the languages.
Do I really need to be fluent in speaking them, since am not in any way planning to travel overseas?

That's a great asset for you
If you want to be in an environment where the languages are studied and spoken, come to Catholic Institute of west Africa at First artillery, Port Harcourt. They even offer certificate programmes in German and Latin.

Rest in peace comrade

I prefer to live in Berlin,Germany.
The country of reknown scholars like Karl Marx, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Friedrich Engels, Friedrich Nietzsche, Immanuel Kant, et al.

When you cross Rivers State boundary into Abia State, from Azumini to Akwete to the interior areas in Abia
All you will see is Potholes and refuse sites
Abia State leaders are typical example of specialist in failure in administration.

Some of you here have been dating your gfs for years without marriage. If they leave you now, another wailing go start.

You marry early? All Naija women want is marriage. They don’t build themselves.

You say make you stand before marriage? Double wahala. Evening newspaper, borehole pussy. Edede! Who go marry this one?
