DeepSight:
Is their condition a consequence of what they believe or is what they believe a consequence of their condition?

I believe experience comes before belief. A consistent pattern becomes a philosophical theory. If more people in same mental state corroborate with the theory, it becomes philosophical fact. That is the loop. Every experience will look like it.

HenryStarlife:
In short
Ignorance makes you perceive reality in one dimension
Enlightenment to some extent is your doom

An ignorant person won't understand what the OP is saying let alone debating it.
Most people are enlightened one way or another. One wise religious figure, Solomon, saw it all and concluded that everything is vanity.
He has astrologers and philosophers as advisers because he is a royal figure.
He did not call the earth a prison for his subjects considering his status.

So any philosophy that suggests that the earth is a prison for souls is from the oppressed without hope. Those that believe such are trapped in a loop.

DeepSight:
Interesting take. Am I to understand you are saying that existential pondering aka philosophy is useless or even detrimental.

If you are taught to reason, then you are not reasoning. You are only expressing what you have been told. Because reasoning is inconclusive, you are trapped in a loop trying to find someone with different perspectives to get out of the loop. That is philosophy.

DeepSight:
Someone once said that a life not examined is not worth living.

Someone. And it is an enlightened person. That must be tormenting.
Those who doesn't examine life don't ask what life is worth. They just live. They enjoy the moment.

DeepSight:
Or a prison for souls.

Or a farm.

Because looking dispassionately at this world and this life, it does not seem to be created for altruistic purposes.

The very fact that highly intelligent conscious beings could be kept in a total blackout about their own reality is telling.

Let us share a number of fringe theories about the meaning and purpose of Earth life here.

Knowledge is power. But who owns the power?
Most times, people believe they are enlightened and laughs at the perceived ignorance of others. That, on it own, is a higher form of ignorance. Many claim ignorance is bliss. This is because an ignorant person can not be controlled.
But an enlightened person is doomed to seek for more enlightenment. They offer them selves to more controlling thoughts that massages their ego and makes them look down on others that doesn't have such knowledge.
This might not be related. But no ignorant person debates about flat earth and round earth. No ignorant person talks about spirits and the multiverse. These are false knowledge pretending to be enlightenment.
In the end, it is all about work/play, food and rest. That is all that is common between the enlightened and the ignorant naives.
You don't have to be ignorant. But if enlightenment becomes torment, you have derailed.

None of the above. They should be playing in the rain. That is true happiness.

What I saw in those pictures is.

1. Man does his business, woman does her business and both shares the bill.

2. Man pays the bill, the woman takes care of the home

3. Man takes care of the home, the woman pays the bills.

4. Man takes care of the home and both of them shares the bill.

The governor should invite those whose cattle were poisoned, feed them sumptuous meal and then arrest them for trespassing and grazing both in public and in a farmland.
Even when open grazing has been banned, they have the boldness to petition the government after breaking the law.

I did not receive any compensation.

Really?
in 2026?

You (in your matured adult mind), believe someone's identity is as good enough as a manifesto.
Meaning who they are is enough justifications for Nigerians to vote for them without them telling Nigerians how they hope to make their lives better.

Based on your logic... Why can't we vote for you?
How's Atiku better than you?

I don't discuss politics, but if you bring politics into the conversation, you must come correct.

I'm not contesting. Atiku is.
I believe he has the capacity to give binding instructions regarding the economy. Not this current administration that is easily blackmailed into submission because of the many skeleton in their cupboard.

Dangote is smiling. Business is good.
If the Chinese present bid to build a very small refinery that will need only 5 percent of that crude allocation to function optimally, you would be hearing buy naija to grow the naira..
Dollar is still high up above 1,300 after all these assist to dangote.

theyongest:
Thank you for your contribution

Well, about Atiku, I'd be interested in his manifesto, and how he intends to deliver them.
Issues first, then politics. Not the other way around.

Artiku has a clear manifesto but he doesn't really need a manifesto. He is his manifesto.
He is someone who can give instructions and ask about the progress on the instructions. He is not like our current president that gives appointments as settlements and enjoy dancing on your mandate we stand without due diligence of inspecting the works and claims of these people in their various offices.

About Obi, he has lost already. All he care about is investing in people's content. No original content. Just because people believe Kwankwaso is a strong force in the north, he has instructed his minions to be singing Obi/Kwankwaso 2027 without recourse to credibility and national interest. It is Obis interest.

It's really nice. Why the bashing?
The lyrics are smooth and the tempo is clean.
The voices are beautiful. The rhymes are perfect.

This song doesn't deserve the bashing.
It's kind of the best afrobeats release I've heard since after 2022 wave.

Anything local has a spirit of greed attached to it. From rice to petrol to cement .the greed is overwhelming.
Farmers celebrate when importation is stopped. Cement and petrol manufacturers will keep telling you how our cement and petrol is cheaper than those in Kenya. That is the spirit of greed talking.

Subsidize food importation and give licence to foreign manufacturers in the field of oil and gas and building materials for real competition to exist.

The blackmail we see daily from home grown manufacturers regarding the suffering in the country is appalling.

In the end,bthe country is not growing but the manufacturers are growing fatter from the people suffering. This needs to stop.

This is one reason we need Atiku. We should cry for Atiku.

I don't know about some women, but I bring headaches.

You are a real woman. But if he is trying, try to rob his forehead once in a while.

Druss:
You can call them anything you want. There is only one Father.

Absolutely. We are commanded not to call any religious figure father except our heavenly Father. But don't take it out of context. Abraham, the father of faith is regarded as our father. Paul regards himself as spiritual father. But they do not bear those as titles and compelled their brethren to call them that.
The context of the post is about leaders of the Christian faith fighting for the joint Christian faith and not just for their denominations.But how can they when they consider themselves more Christian than other denominations.

ManknowThyself:
It is good to be single and be free!!!!!!!!

Till you meet the right but not perfect partner to bond for marriage.


Many years together, cohabiting and engagement does not guarantee marriage.

Empathy, Commitment and fidelity about your past years is the foundation.


A man can have 10 girlfriends but yet haven’t considered one good enough to be his wife.

Men will do anything to wife a woman of integrity, respect, fidelity and empathy.

There is no right person or wrong person. You can either agree and be genuinely married or you pretend to agree and become an unending movie.

bixton:
CAN is no different from the Saducces and Pharisees in the old Jewish system. They are not a unifying body of Truth in the body of Christ.
You can't have your brothers bleeding in the North and Middle belt and you're not bothered like the insensitive government.

You can not separate CAN from the Christendom in Nigeria. If they are corrupt, it is because the Christendom was corrupt first.
The only way to peace is war. The prince of peace is coming to wadge war against the world. There won't be onlookers like there is in the war game between US and IRAN. Everyone will partake of this fight and the price is steep.

Druss:
No they are not fathers. They are church leaders.

Denominational church leaders. That makes them the head in those denominations.

I saw it in my dream that I set a bush on fire, the fire was so high that both dry and wet grasses get burnt, what is the meaning pls ?

It means you are an evangelist. you shall speak without holding back.
The world is going to hear you.

HacheNoire:
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: “50% of all tech jobs, entry-level lawyers, consultants, and finance professionals will be completely wiped out within 1–5 years.”

Let me say this. If AI can replace any job, it means it is not a job in the first place. We call tasks jobs just to keep people engaged.

Security first became a business. It made a lot of money. Security used insecurity and didn't pay up. Now insecurity is on a revenge mission. It is using security ruthlesly in aggresive money grabbing and there is no stopping it.

Denominational fathers are still fathers. There is a unifying body known as Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). They have made statements just like our legislators are making statements regarding the security situation in the country. But their statements can be bought just like those of the politicians can be bought too.

Is it statements that solves security challenges? But if a respected father, be it denominational father or any religious father, makes statements, the state forces will act on those statements to show him they are on top of the matter.

But when respect for these fathers have gone to the dogs, the best they can do is give examples of countries that are getting it right so as not to step on toes of vindictive government and self centred citizens

samuelson06:
Terrorist cursing terrorist? That doesn't make any sense to me. He should say something else.

He is only saying that these sect are not one of his. They have taught poor men kidnapping. It can only get worse.
May Nigeria succeed positively.

sirblend:
I can't remember Nigeria experiencing inflation during Goodluck Jonathan regime rather it happened during Yardua in 2008/2009 when a dollar went from N70 to 250 or more, the finance team of President Yardua were able to stabilize the situation and bring back the price of dollar(exchange rate) to it normal price.

Exchange rate was defended massively during Yaradua. Good luck has to do something about it. Official exchange rate rose to 197-199 but still the economy was suffering during goodluck. The only alternative was to eliminate subsidy on petrol which increased the price of fuel significantly. If you didn't notice inflation during that period that drew massive protest, then you are lying deliberately.
Yet quality of life was great During that tumultuous period. There was substantial salary increase.
Jonathan managed the inflation and curtailed the impact on the economy.
But this government has been the worst in managing the economy. Inflation on free rise and value on free fall.

Your Excellency, sir, even if we give them a microscope, they will refuse to see. They know you are working. We know they know. They know we know they know.

Microscope to see the huge work or the near nonexistent work?

Your baby doesn't look like you but has your grand mothers eyes and grand fathers nose.
My dear, that is paternity fraud.
That is how they normalized paternity fraud. They know.
It has tayed.

Most married women I have seen are workaholics. They don't even bother to get cream or make their hair. They can not endure seating in one place for a long time.
Some of the singles are learning skills. They do multiple work. From one shift to craft shop. That is the environment I find myself.

Yes, there are still those whose work Is to attract your attention. They have to buy perfume every now and then. They have to maintain their skin and change their wardrobes to be in business. They hop from one admirer to another. They don't even have time to shower. That work is not easy.

If you are seeing only those that rob cream and wear expensive perfumes please pay up and don't complain. It is your destiny to contribute to that economy.

This misfire was not deliberate.

Those pictures were not taken with iphone or Samsung. Ruthie help identify the camera name.

Sseabrez:
I’ve been noticing certain phones are everywhere this year — especially brands like Tecno, Infinix, Samsung, Apple, and Xiaomi.

From what I see, people usually go for:
• Affordable phones with strong battery 🔋
• Good camera for social media 📸
• Smooth performance for daily use

Budget also plays a big role — most buyers prefer value for money over expensive flagships.

So I’m curious:
• Which phone are you currently using?
• If you recently bought a phone, what made you choose it?
• Which brand do you think is dominating Nigeria right now?

Let’s hear real opinions 👇

https://www.infolandia.com.ng/top-10-phones-nigerians-are-buying-most-in-2026-full-buyer-guide/

My customers are buying Oale and they are happy about it.
Premium customers are going for Realme and Poco.
Itel is only doing marketing in vain.
Infinix and tecno is rounding up.
Redmi is winding up too. Xiaomi should thank God for their poco brand.

Very easy.
When I was a novice, it will always turn backwards. But when I learn the trick, it starts easily.
I became a pro in servicing the element

They would love the same man over and over again. That first love defines what love really means to them. So they see the man, or rather, the trait of that man in every one they believed represents love. But since the first love doesn't have that happy ending, they repeat the same mistake over and over again.
When they give chance to someone with a different trait, they will want such a one to exhibit the trait of the love that failed creating more bad memories in the end.

Relationship is not about love. It is about genetics. But no one sees the genes. Only the traits of the genes. Those that understands will have a blissful union with someone morality and religion consider impossible.
