Perhaps you were not yet born by 2014/2015 when former president Goodluck Jonathan was highly ridiculed, called names and insulted with utter hatred and contempt by APC supporters who are now in power.

MrBrownJay1:Here's the article your requested As a psychiatrist, I diagnose mental illness. Also, I help spot demonic possession. How a scientist learned to work with exorcists. By Richard Gallagher July 1, 2016 at 6:00 a.m. EDT Matt Rota for The Washington Post Share Add to your saved stories Save In the late 1980s, I was introduced to a self-styled Satanic high priestess. She called herself a witch and dressed the part, with flowing dark clothes and black eye shadow around to her temples. In our many discussions, she acknowledged worshipping Satan as his “queen.” I’m a man of science and a lover of history; after studying the classics at Princeton, I trained in psychiatry at Yale and in psychoanalysis at Columbia. That background is why a Catholic priest had asked my professional opinion, which I offered pro bono, about whether this woman was suffering from a mental disorder. This was at the height of the national panic about Satanism. (In a case that helped induce the hysteria, Virginia McMartin and others had recently been charged with alleged Satanic ritual abuse at a Los Angeles preschool; the charges were later dropped.) So I was inclined to skepticism. But my subject’s behavior exceeded what I could explain with my training. She could tell some people their secret weaknesses, such as undue pride. She knew how individuals she’d never known had died, including my mother and her fatal case of ovarian cancer. Six people later vouched to me that, during her exorcisms, they heard her speaking multiple languages, including Latin, completely unfamiliar to her outside of her trances. This was not psychosis; it was what I can only describe as paranormal ability. I concluded that she was possessed. Much later, she permitted me to tell her story. Watch: Nationwide exorcism performed on Mexico The priest who had asked for my opinion of this bizarre case was the most experienced exorcist in the country at the time, an erudite and sensible man. I had told him that, even as a practicing Catholic, I wasn’t likely to go in for a lot of hocus-pocus. “Well,” he replied, “unless we thought you were not easily fooled, we would hardly have wanted you to assist us.” Advertisement So began an unlikely partnership. For the past two-and-a-half decades and over several hundred consultations, I’ve helped clergy from multiple denominations and faiths to filter episodes of mental illness — which represent the overwhelming majority of cases — from, literally, the devil’s work. It’s an unlikely role for an academic physician, but I don’t see these two aspects of my career in conflict. The same habits that shape what I do as a professor and psychiatrist — open-mindedness, respect for evidence and compassion for suffering people — led me to aid in the work of discerning attacks by what I believe are evil spirits and, just as critically, differentiating these extremely rare events from medical conditions. Is it possible to be a sophisticated psychiatrist and believe that evil spirits are, however seldom, assailing humans? Most of my scientific colleagues and friends say no, because of their frequent contact with patients who are deluded about demons, their general skepticism of the supernatural, and their commitment to employ only standard, peer-reviewed treatments that do not potentially mislead (a definite risk) or harm vulnerable patients. But careful observation of the evidence presented to me in my career has led me to believe that certain extremely uncommon cases can be explained no other way. * * * * * * * Advertisement The Vatican does not track global or countrywide exorcism, but in my experience and according to the priests I meet, demand is rising. The United States is home to about 50 “stable” exorcists — those who have been designated by bishops to combat demonic activity on a semi-regular basis — up from just 12 a decade ago, according to the Rev. Vincent Lampert, an Indianapolis-based priest-exorcist who is active in the International Association of Exorcists. (He receives about 20 inquiries per week, double the number from when his bishop appointed him in 2005.) The Catholic Church has responded by offering greater resources for clergy members who wish to address the problem. In 2010, for instance, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops organized a meeting in Baltimore for interested clergy. In 2014, Pope Francis formally recognized the IAE, 400 members of which are to convene in Rome this October. Members believe in such strange cases because they are constantly called upon to help. (I served for a time as a scientific adviser on the group’s governing board.) [No, really. Take a vacation. Your co-workers will manage just fine without you.] Unfortunately, not all clergy involved in this complex field are as cautious as the priest who first approached me. In some circles, there is a tendency to become overly preoccupied with putative demonic explanations and to see the devil everywhere. Fundamentalist misdiagnoses and absurd or even dangerous “treatments,” such as beating victims, have sometimes occurred, especially in developing countries. This is perhaps why exorcism has a negative connotation in some quarters. People with psychological problems should receive psychological treatment. Advertisement But I believe I’ve seen the real thing. Assaults upon individuals are classified either as “demonic possessions” or as the slightly more common but less intense attacks usually called “oppressions.” A possessed individual may suddenly, in a type of trance, voice statements of astonishing venom and contempt for religion, while understanding and speaking various foreign languages previously unknown to them. The subject might also exhibit enormous strength or even the extraordinarily rare phenomenon of levitation. (I have not witnessed a levitation myself, but half a dozen people I work with vow that they’ve seen it in the course of their exorcisms.) He or she might demonstrate “hidden knowledge” of all sorts of things — like how a stranger’s loved ones died, what secret sins she has committed, even where people are at a given moment. These are skills that cannot be explained except by special psychic or preternatural ability. Share this article Share I have personally encountered these rationally inexplicable features, along with other paranormal phenomena. My vantage is unusual: As a consulting doctor, I think I have seen more cases of possession than any other physician in the world. [I’m a transgender Republican. My party has betrayed me.] Advertisement Most of the people I evaluate in this role suffer from the more prosaic problems of a medical disorder. Anyone even faintly familiar with mental illnesses knows that individuals who think they are being attacked by malign spirits are generally experiencing nothing of the sort. Practitioners see psychotic patients all the time who claim to see or hear demons; histrionic or highly suggestible individuals, such as those suffering from dissociative identity syndromes; and patients with personality disorders who are prone to misinterpret destructive feelings, in what exorcists sometimes call a “pseudo-possession,” via the defense mechanism of an externalizing projection. But what am I supposed to make of patients who unexpectedly start speaking perfect Latin? I approach each situation with an initial skepticism. I technically do not make my own “diagnosis” of possession but inform the clergy that the symptoms in question have no conceivable medical cause. I am aware of the way many psychiatrists view this sort of work. While the American Psychiatric Association has no official opinion on these affairs, the field (like society at large) is full of unpersuadable skeptics and occasionally doctrinaire materialists who are often oddly vitriolic in their opposition to all things spiritual. My job is to assist people seeking help, not to convince doctors who are not subject to suasion. Yet I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the number of psychiatrists and other mental health practitioners nowadays who are open to entertaining such hypotheses. Many believe exactly what I do, though they may be reluctant to speak out. Advertisement * * * * * * * As a man of reason, I’ve had to rationalize the seemingly irrational. Questions about how a scientifically trained physician can believe “such outdated and unscientific nonsense,” as I’ve been asked, have a simple answer. I honestly weigh the evidence. I have been told simplistically that levitation defies the laws of gravity, and, well, of course it does! We are not dealing here with purely material reality, but with the spiritual realm. One cannot force these creatures to undergo lab studies or submit to scientific manipulation; they will also hardly allow themselves to be easily recorded by video equipment, as skeptics sometimes demand. (The official Catholic Catechism holds that demons are sentient and possess their own wills; as they are fallen angels, they are also craftier than humans. That’s how they sow confusion and seed doubt, after all.) Nor does the church wish to compromise a sufferer’s privacy, any more than doctors want to compromise a patient’s confidentiality. [Feminists treat men badly. It’s bad for feminism.] Advertisement Ignorance and superstition have often surrounded stories of demonic possession in various cultures, and surely many alleged episodes can be explained by fraud, chicanery or mental pathology. But anthropologists agree that nearly all cultures have believed in spirits, and the vast majority of societies (including our own) have recorded dramatic stories of spirit possession. Despite varying interpretations, multiple depictions of the same phenomena in astonishingly consistent ways offer cumulative evidence of their credibility. As a psychoanalyst, a blanket rejection of the possibility of demonic attacks seems less logical, and often wishful in nature, than a careful appraisal of the facts. As I see it, the evidence for possession is like the evidence for George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware. In both cases, written historical accounts with numerous sound witnesses testify to their accuracy. In the end, however, it was not an academic or dogmatic view that propelled me into this line of work. I was asked to consult about people in pain. I have always thought that, if requested to help a tortured person, a physician should not arbitrarily refuse to get involved. Those who dismiss these cases unwittingly prevent patients from receiving the help they desperately require, either by failing to recommend them for psychiatric treatment (which most clearly need) or by not informing their spiritual ministers that something beyond a mental or other illness seems to be the issue. For any person of science or faith, it should be impossible to turn one’s back on a tormented soul.

Me: have you read Robin Law on Oyo Empire? Macof: what concern Oduduwa of Ile-Ife with robin law of Oyo, do you read, you don't read. Me: Robin Law is the author of The Oyo Empire, he was the Deputy Chairman of The Yoruba Historical Research Scheme established to research the Yoruba history by the defunct Western Region of Nigeria, led by Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Saburi Biobaku was the Chairman. Macof: I have made you to read your first book written by a true historian. Fact check: On the thread about Yoruba Ajami scripts created as far back as 2014, I have made mention of Robin Law on Oyo Empire, I made reference again to the author in a thread I created in 2018 in a post around 2020, but this 'king-con' claim he has made me read my first historical book. But on a careful look, how could an expert historian of the Yoruba have missed a book from such an authority? Why turn me to a victim of the knowledge he is actually ignorant of? This is a character at play, a very twisted person. Second issue My mom grew at a place called Ado. Very close to our family house (Iga) is a place called "Ilaje". Here, Oduduwa worshippers do throng from time immemorial. Mom was not literate, unaware of whatever historians might have written about Oduduwa, but she would say "Oduduwa Ateworo" instead of "Oduduwa Atenwonro" which is what was interpreted into "Oduduwa came down [ro] through ewon - chain". Now, the bone of contention after I made my point about Ateworo being the right keyword was "ro". Either interpretation, ro simply sound as the suffix, fall, in rain is falling in Yoruba, or better still, soft, as in soft eba. This guy came up with an opposing argument that I wanted him to choose soft for the ro in either ateworo or atenwonro when the right answer is ro as you have it in wither. Oh my God, how could that be an argument? Macof: this fool want me to believe 'ro' as 'soft' as if to say "rain is softening". Without mincing words, this 'miracle working guy' exposed himself as non-Yoruba, because it will take a miracle to proof that ro in "rain is falling" is the same tone for "withering" in Yoruba. By implication, his interpretation of ro in atewonro, 'ro' rhymes with withering. So, instead of 'redododo', 'Ateworo' would be redodore. How could a Yoruba speaker make such an argument? So, compare with his spoken English. Yet here is a guy whose signature says "I am Yoruba." That's the domino story to hypnotize his readers. |

Howard University revokes Diddy’s honorary degree amid sexual assault charges Howard University has revoked the honorary degree conferred on embattled American rapper and music executive, Sean Combs, aka Diddy. The university decided on a unanimous vote by its Board of Trustees. The decision is against the backdrop of multiple sexual assault charges against Diddy and the emergence of a video showing the rapper assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, in a hotel, behaviour that the university deemed fundamentally incompatible with its core values. “The Howard University Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to accept the return by Mr. Sean Combs of the honorary degree conferred upon him in 2014,” a university spokesperson told Fox on Friday. “This acceptance revokes all honors and privileges associated with the degree. Accordingly, the Board has directed that his name be removed from all documents listing honorary degree recipients of Howard University.” Diddy, a former student at Howard, dropped out after two years in 1990. He received the honorary doctorate and served as commencement speaker in 2014. Read More http://www.gistheaven.com/2024/06/howard-university-revokes-diddys.html?m=1

| Sports / Re: Top 5 European Football Leagues–the Association Between Financial Performance by excelbaba842(m): 1:29pm On Jun 08 |
Top 5 European Football Leagues – The Association Between Financial Performance and Sporting Success Introduction Football, the world's most popular sport, is deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric of many nations, particularly in Europe. The continent is home to some of the most prestigious and competitive football leagues globally, including the English Premier League (EPL), La Liga in Spain, Serie A in Italy, the Bundesliga in Germany, and Ligue 1 in France. These leagues are not only celebrated for their sporting excellence but also for their significant financial clout. The interplay between financial performance and sporting success is a critical area of analysis, as it sheds light on how economic resources and management practices influence the competitive outcomes on the pitch. 1. English Premier League (EPL) Financial Performance The English Premier League is often heralded as the richest football league in the world. The EPL's financial success is driven by several key factors: Broadcasting Rights: The EPL has secured lucrative broadcasting deals both domestically and internationally. The 2019-2022 cycle saw deals worth £9.2 billion, with a significant portion coming from overseas broadcasters, reflecting the global appeal of the league. Sponsorship and Commercial Revenue: EPL clubs attract high-value sponsorship deals. For example, Manchester United's kit deal with Adidas is worth £75 million per year, while their shirt sponsorship with Chevrolet brings in £64 million annually. Matchday Revenue: Premier League clubs benefit from substantial matchday revenues due to high ticket prices and large stadium capacities. Clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal regularly fill stadiums with capacities exceeding 60,000. Merchandising: The global fanbase of EPL clubs fuels merchandise sales. Clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea have extensive international fanbases, contributing significantly to their commercial income. Sporting Success The financial muscle of the EPL has a direct impact on the sporting success of its clubs: Player Acquisition: Financially robust clubs can afford to buy top-tier talent. For instance, Manchester City and Chelsea have invested heavily in acquiring world-class players, which has translated into domestic and international success. Infrastructure and Facilities: Clubs invest in state-of-the-art training facilities and youth academies. Manchester City's Etihad Campus is a prime example of such investment, which aids in player development and overall team performance. Managerial Expertise: Financial resources enable clubs to attract top managerial talent. The presence of high-profile managers like Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp has raised the competitive standards of the league. Despite the financial advantages, the competitive nature of the EPL means that success is not guaranteed. The league's financial structure ensures that even smaller clubs benefit from substantial broadcasting revenues, allowing for a relatively balanced competition compared to other leagues. 2. La Liga Financial Performance La Liga, Spain's top football league, is another financial powerhouse in European football. Key factors contributing to its financial performance include: Broadcasting Rights: La Liga has centralized its broadcasting rights, leading to more equitable revenue distribution among clubs. The league's broadcasting deals have seen significant growth, with the 2019-2022 cycle valued at €3.5 billion. Sponsorship and Commercial Revenue: Spanish giants Real Madrid and FC Barcelona dominate in commercial revenue. Real Madrid's kit deal with Adidas and sponsorship from Emirates Airline, along with Barcelona's partnerships with Nike and Rakuten, are among the most lucrative in world football. Matchday Revenue: Both Real Madrid and Barcelona boast large stadiums, Santiago Bernabéu and Camp Nou, respectively, with capacities exceeding 80,000, driving significant matchday income. Merchandising: The global appeal of La Liga's top clubs ensures robust merchandise sales. Real Madrid and Barcelona have massive international followings, particularly in Asia and the Americas. Sporting Success The financial prowess of La Liga's top clubs has translated into considerable sporting success: European Dominance: Real Madrid and Barcelona have been dominant in European competitions. Real Madrid has won the UEFA Champions League a record 14 times, with Barcelona winning it five times. Domestic Competitiveness: While Real Madrid and Barcelona have historically dominated La Liga, the financial distribution model has allowed clubs like Atlético Madrid to rise and challenge for the title, evidenced by their league wins in 2014 and 2021. Youth Development: Spanish clubs are renowned for their youth academies. Barcelona's La Masia and Real Madrid's La Fábrica are exemplary in producing world-class talent, contributing to sustained sporting success. La Liga's focus on financial stability and competitive balance has enabled it to maintain high standards both domestically and internationally, although the dominance of the top two clubs remains a significant characteristic. 3. Serie A Financial Performance Serie A, Italy's premier football league, has seen fluctuating financial fortunes over the years. Key financial aspects include: Broadcasting Rights: Serie A's broadcasting deals are less lucrative compared to the EPL and La Liga but still significant. The 2018-2021 cycle was valued at €2.9 billion, with a mix of domestic and international revenue. Sponsorship and Commercial Revenue: Italian clubs have substantial sponsorship deals, though generally lower in value compared to their English and Spanish counterparts. Juventus' kit deal with Adidas and sponsorship from Jeep are notable examples. Matchday Revenue: Matchday revenues vary significantly among clubs, with Juventus leading due to their modern Allianz Stadium. However, many Serie A clubs struggle with aging infrastructure, impacting their matchday income. Merchandising: Clubs like Juventus and AC Milan have strong international followings, driving merchandise sales. Juventus' rebranding efforts have particularly boosted their global commercial appeal. Sporting Success Financial performance impacts Serie A's sporting success in various ways: Player Acquisition: Financial constraints mean that Serie A clubs often focus on strategic acquisitions rather than splurging on high-profile transfers. Juventus has been particularly adept at signing top players on free transfers, such as Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba. Youth Development: Italian clubs have a strong tradition of developing local talent. Clubs like Atalanta and Fiorentina are known for their prolific youth academies, contributing to the national team and club success. Managerial Expertise: Serie A has a rich history of tactical innovation, attracting managerial talent. Managers like Antonio Conte and Carlo Ancelotti have made significant impacts domestically and in European competitions. Serie A's focus on financial prudence and tactical astuteness has allowed it to remain competitive, though it faces challenges in matching the financial firepower of the EPL and La Liga. 4. Bundesliga Financial Performance The Bundesliga, Germany's top football league, is noted for its robust financial model and fan-centric approach. Key financial aspects include: Broadcasting Rights: The Bundesliga's broadcasting deals are substantial but more balanced compared to the EPL. The 2020-2024 cycle was valued at €4.4 billion, with a strong emphasis on domestic revenue. Sponsorship and Commercial Revenue: German clubs attract significant sponsorships, with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund leading the way. Bayern's deals with Adidas, Audi, and Allianz are particularly lucrative. Matchday Revenue: Bundesliga clubs benefit from high matchday revenues due to large, modern stadiums and strong fan attendance. Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena and Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park are prime examples. Merchandising: German clubs have strong local and international merchandise sales. Bayern Munich, in particular, has a significant global fanbase, driving merchandise revenue. Sporting Success The Bundesliga's financial stability has a direct correlation with sporting success: Player Acquisition: While not as extravagant as the EPL, Bundesliga clubs invest wisely in player acquisitions. Bayern Munich's ability to attract top talent while maintaining financial discipline is notable. Youth Development: German clubs excel in youth development. Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 have produced numerous top players through their academies, contributing to both club success and the national team. Managerial Expertise: The Bundesliga is known for developing top managerial talent. Managers like Jürgen Klopp and Hansi Flick have their roots in German football, showcasing the league's emphasis on tactical and technical development. The Bundesliga's emphasis on financial prudence, youth development, and fan engagement ensures a competitive and sustainable football ecosystem. 5. Ligue 1 Financial Performance Ligue 1, France's top football league, has seen significant financial growth, primarily driven by the rise of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Key financial aspects include: Broadcasting Rights: Ligue 1's broadcasting deals have grown, though they remain lower compared to the EPL and La Liga. The 2020-2024 cycle was valued at €1.2 billion, reflecting both domestic and international interest. Sponsorship and Commercial Revenue: PSG dominates in terms of commercial revenue, with major deals from Nike, Accor, and Qatar Airways. Other clubs also benefit from local and regional sponsorships. Matchday Revenue: PSG leads in matchday revenue, thanks to the Parc des Princes and its high ticket prices. Other Ligue 1 clubs have smaller stadiums, impacting their matchday income. Merchandising: PSG's global appeal, driven by star signings like Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, has significantly boosted merchandise sales. The club's strategic marketing efforts have expanded its brand internationally. Sporting Success Ligue 1's financial dynamics influence its sporting success: Player Acquisition: PSG's financial dominance allows it to attract top talent, contributing to its domestic dominance and competitiveness in European competitions. Other Ligue 1 clubs often focus on developing and selling young talent. Youth Development: France is renowned for its football academies. Clubs like AS Monaco and Lyon have produced numerous top players, contributing to both club success and the national team's strength. Managerial Expertise: Ligue 1 has a tradition of producing and attracting top managerial talent. |

In case most Nigerians have not realised it, regional autonomy is the holy grail of what any leader can achieve for Nigeria. It is essentially the get out of 'one Nigeria' jail card for all regions to go and become as great or as backward as the indigenes desire. No more forces of regression holding back progressive, peace loving and development-minded people. It cannot ever be beaten because it is even far more transformational for Nigerians and their generations unborn than Awolowo's free education.

"3.2 Basis of the Federation: "(1) Every Ethnic Nationality and People in Nigeria has an unconditional right to self-determination within here delineated territories.Hehehe! Nice one! After all Tinubu and all his cohorts in the ACN and APC were staunch advocates of restructuring to regionalism back then. This is one of the reason the refused to attend the 2014 confab, but his first priority was to bastardized the economy then change national anthem.So it would seem it is a generational thing as the oldies yearn for the glorious days of their childhood, while we who were shaped in the military mould, hold on to the things the military gave to us. If a return to old anthem can be done, then a return to regional governments or better political restructuring can be effected by a democratic government. It is time for democratic Nigeria to shape Nigeria, instead of just living the system the military regimes put in place to usher a return to democracy. If Tinubu got balls, let him move beyond this mental rejiging of Nigerians and see through with the necessary changes to national life.ACN bloc campaigned all their life about restructuring, it will be the greatest disservice if Tinubu won't complete that restructuring with all the power it seems he wields. Now the time beckons. The gradual deconstruction of this contraption of an entity is gradually unfolding. Guess Shettima that said "restructuring my foot" will not be angry now? Meanwhile, thought the NASS and the Tinubu led presidency all vehemently denied that there is no plan to return to regional government? 102 Likes 6 Shares |

helinues: Is Nairaland the legacy you are leaving behind for your generation? GEJ 8yrs + Buhari 8yrs + Tinubu 8yrs = 24yrs. Minutes 17 wasted years you have been on NL from your current age. You could have used that 17yrs to achieve a lot. You'll still be here to defend another regime. Nawa |

helinues:So you mean for ten years now, that guy has been wailing. too bad of him. My problem with many of them is that, they don't accept constrictive criticism. They want you to always support their opinions even if is wrong. I don't see why does who rain causes on Obi as governor, will suddenly support him for higher office. Many of this people are something else. Many of us condemned Wike style of governance back then as governor, because of his bullyish nature and talk to much, but igbos were so happy with him and anytime he attack Buhari and Apc either with truth or lies something, the igbos always feel happy but some of us know that Wike was positioning itself for president. The only anger they have against him now is that he didn't support Obi for president. They don't see any good in him again. The likes of Reno Omokri, Fani kayode use to be their favorite. They hated Obaseki last year when he try to discredit labour party and he even place an order not to allow any vehicle with labour logo or sticker in government house but now they are in love with him, just because they know labour stand no chance in the September election. They keep playing emotional politics. 2 Likes |
