Soludo said Christians are killing Christians in the southern to dismiss the genocide claim. As if that is OK. Now these people are complaining that the west are only concerned that Christians are being killed and not bothered that Muslims and killed in the north. If they agree that these people responsible for killing of Christians in the north are also responsible for killing of non Christians in the north, should it not be a reason for celebration that someone is coming to eliminate the killers? But as typical of every terrorist sympathizers, they would oppose any intervention that benefits Christians because they are all one in the crime against Christians.

Statement as this proves US right to take any action they deem fit against this marauders and politicians.

Corruption is not the problem. It is pure wickedness from our politicians. Next will be to pressure Alia and Mutfwang to disclaim the allegation of Christian genocide. Unfortunately, Mutfwang is not joining APC.

As in he is demarketing himself and his ambition to become two term president of Nigeria after huge progress he has made in almost making the nation a one party country.
That would be selfless service to the nation.
Do you think your president is selfless?

What Solution has the US ever offered to any country via military interventions? We are the ones that will solve our own problems.

How many people did you fed yesterday and still felt right doing today?.
Hunger is the major challenge of Nigerians. No one really care about Politics or religion. If you are not taking hunger away from someone, you have no right to use the term 'We' because you do not matter. Is the US taking away hunger from Nigerians? The answer is yes. But unfortunately, the people who matters in your 'We' are depriving the people that are supposed to benefit from the AIDs from US and squandering such. You and the 'We' are inconsequential if you are not angry.

Let the farmers go back to their farms and source for food that your government can't give them.

Who is killing the christians in Southern Nigeria? Or you people's clamouring is all about the christian in North, what's their percentage compared to the christians in Southern Nigeria?

I was hoping you could tell me and also tell me what they shout before killing or kidnapping their victims in the southern Nigeria.
I was expecting you also tell me the names of the killers and Christian leaders negotiating that the killers in southern Nigeria be paid.

In your imagination, you assume Northern Christian are less Christian than southern Christians and should be ignored if they are being killed. Very tipical of your kind.

If you ever believe the moslems are the victims, you are supposed to be joyful that help is coming. But no. Tipical taqiyyah.

helinues:
The bandits, which faith have been their victims most? You guys including Us are just struggling to force this narration on us. The bandits are pure criminals, that they shout Allahu Akbar before attacking don't mean they are kidnapping people because of religion

Exactly.

I am not even a victim. Why should I care.
Why should I even care that the negotiators also shout the bolded.

I believe the people in your imagination that are the major victims are enjoying being killed by pure criminals and are happy that the religious teachers they listen to are the ones protecting the pure criminals.

Keyboard worrior, listen to yourself.

If the moslems think they are not targeted, they should allow those that feel targeted to cry for help.

The end should be eliminating the acclaimed pure criminals so your imaginary major victims won't be victims anymore all thanks to the non victims.

Yemmysworld91:
What if the botched coup attempt was initiated by Tinubu and is crew to checkmate the northern hegemony and their craze for power?..

What if the recent threats by Trump and the American government is a product of Tinubu's lobbying to checkmate the violence in the northern part of the country which was one of the things used in voting out Jonathan?..

For me, I believe at least one or both was initiated by Tinubu and his cohorts. I laugh when I see political opponents rejoicing at both news. Don't insult me, I just think the more we look, the less we see.

That will be a smart move but can only be a last resort because he will be shooting himself in the leg being the president if he does.
Unless someone played the card before time to save someone marked to be cancelled.

helinues:
Yes, I repeat, there is nothing Trump or USA can do. Not even any meaningful sanctioning. And he can never send US troops to Nigeria without our government agreeing.

Just as usual social media mouth running. We have been asking those who believe that Nigeria christians are being persecuted to tell us how they are being persecuted and where is that happening in Nigeria, na only Deborah long blasphemy instant they have been given. Southern Kaduna that might be used as an excuse, things are going smoothly under this government

Is there killing in Nigeria, yes
Is any faith targeted with the killings? Capital NO

You mean to tell me that Gumi's bandits did not identify with any religion and gumi and his compatriots negotiating for the bandits are only doing so to save Nigerians from the bandits? Does that mean the bandits as acclaimed are stronger than the Nigerian armed forces that negotiating with them and paying them is what is best for the giant of Africa?
Which ever it is you believe, it is enough reason to invite people that believe the bandits are not that powerful to hold people to ransom. It is safe to monitor events than defend a compromised system just because their statement is a threat to the political ambition of your master.

KiNg0G:
Those of us who are not a church goer, not Muslim, hate anything juju but we are just there. I can't help but to think what we are.

It's not like I don't believe in the spiritual or God, as a matter of fact I used to be one of the active children pastors in my time during children programs now look at me. I am just there, suddenly decided to stop following my parents to church at around age 12 and I blame them hugely for this. Because they on the other hand just let me be, they talked few Sundays morning and that's just it.

I wasn't forced more or whipped. If only they had really forced me maybe the direction my life is today would have been entirely different. I would have been an upcoming daddy G.0 by now living all righteous.

I don't feel that urge to go back now but one thing I realised was during that time I was living more happier and always joyful on Sunday, the feeling, atmosphere is different.
And there's this direction and focus you get when your a religious person then just being there like I am today.

That is a feeling if missing your purpose. Don't beat yourselve too much. some one received that purpose when you left it vacant and ran with it. if you stroll back, you would see some one doing what you imagined you would be doing had you stayed on the lane you were your childhood days.
But that does not make you purposeless. Look out areas where you are strong. you will always see a vision lying unutilized. take it and run with it. make sure you enjoy it all along. It might not be magnificient. but enjoy it.

In other words, we should not discuss solution till after 2031 when tinubu will be done with his second term.

Nnamdipapa:
The latest threat by U.S. President Donald J. Trump @POTUS to launch military action in Nigeria, allegedly to protect Christians, may sound appealing to some. Still, history has shown this to be perilous.

Whether you are Christian, Muslim, animist, or non-religious, no one should celebrate such rhetoric. The United States and its allies have a long record of military interventions that leave nations more unstable than before. They failed to secure peace in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, or Syria, and they won’t bring salvation to Nigeria through bombs or boots on the ground.

What Nigeria truly needs is not a foreign savior, but legitimate, accountable leadership, one that protects all citizens, upholds justice, and ends the cycles of corruption and violence that have left the nation broken.

@realDonaldTrump does not care about Nigerians not Christians, Muslims, or anyone else. Our deliverance will never come from abroad; it must come from within, through real leadership (not the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of this world) and national renewal. #RevolutionNow

Let reasoning come from critical thinking and deliberate planning.

Economy083:
It's dangerous to reason in line with the US government. Be rest assured that that don't have our interests at heart.

And who has our interest at heart. The government or the accused religious leaders? You think this is a story of Alibaba and the 40 thieves?
Let the Islamic leaders call these killers terrorist and see how the group will go into extinction.
Your taqqiya is for you to drink.
Those that knows knows.

It's ok to think like this.
It is also ok to reason in line with the US government.

First, Sheikh Gumi was the first to use bandits tag of the killers. He went ahead to define bandits and terrorist and differentiate them. The Nigerian armed forces adopted this same name tag because they are partners to this name concoction protecting the now acclaimed bandits from terrorism charges while the group that probably has not involved in any terror act received terrorist treatment. Yes. IPOB.

Those acclaimed bandits were called for negotiation. How can someone be a bandit and still be known and has religious leaders as negotiators and spokesmen. That should make you think. They ravage villages in killing spree and then you hear news of attack on an Islamic religious house to attempt to make the killings appear non religious. That is a wicked mind game and you are over looking it.

Again, there are notable rare earth resources in these places where attacks are carried out. That makes it obvious why arming terrorist counternamed bandits by the beneficiaries of the process is a master plan to usurp indigenous people of their lands and deprive them of the benefits that should accrue to them when the resources are mined legally.

I can go on and on but your purview of US using this designation to prey into the nations rare earth resources is another wicked form of taqqiya telling the people to accept dying in the hands of these murderous entities instead of allowing the US access to their mineral resources.

In all, you are biased.

Purity or nothing. This code is not a law. It is an obligation.

This is not about Timipre sylva. It is about bringing Jonathan into the case.
There was no coup attempt.
Not in planning.
Not is thought.
It is all political maneuvering.
Theatrical patterns of events are unfolding and more is coming to silence rising questions.
A coup is very easy to carry out. Politicians/directors/permanent secretaries are hoping someone could make the move so they can milk the country dry. But no one can carry that burden. Coup executors in Nigeria received no reward. Why risk it. That is the only reason no one would want to be involved in any coup d'etat in Nigeria again. Not because it is not possible or difficult.

The news of coup d'etat is all political theatrics. Very soon, believable stories will start flooding in to link it to someone considered as a political asset against the ruling party.

My token.

As in no single ladies in there to claim their choice asap? The head pastor did not pass the memo. Some of those single men should be having 2 ladies kneeling before them.

Anyways, ladies avoid this kind of embarrassment that involves men. They can go dirty with women and not with men.

Those Who Doubted God’s Word Faced Devastating Consequences

Doubt as Moral Rebellion Against God’s Reliability
Doubt in the biblical sense is not merely intellectual hesitation or uncertainty. It is a form of moral rebellion that questions the trustworthiness of God’s infallible word. This unbelief actively opposes faith and divine authority. The Scriptures consistently show that doubt leads to instability, spiritual loss, and exclusion from God’s promises. James makes this clear by describing the doubter as "like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind"—unstable in all his ways, receiving nothing from the Lord [James 1:6–8]. Unbelief, therefore, is not a neutral stance but a rejection of God's eternal reliability, which carries grave consequences.

Israel’s Wilderness Wandering: A Case Study of Doubt’s Penalty
God promised the Israelites the land of Canaan, flowing with milk and honey, yet due to their disbelief and refusal to trust His promise, they faced divine judgment: forty years of wandering in the wilderness, with the original generation perishing before entering the Promised Land [Numbers 14:22–23]. Their doubt was not mere caution but defiance against God’s faithfulness. This prolonged punishment reveals the cost of distrusting divine instruction, underscoring that faithlessness diverts believers from God’s blessings and eternal purposes.

Zacharias’ Muteness: Doubt Silences and Delays God’s Promise
Even the righteous suffer consequences for doubting God’s word. Zacharias, a priest “righteous in the sight of God” [Luke 1:6], was rendered mute after questioning the angel Gabriel’s announcement concerning his son John’s birth [Luke 1:18–20]. This episode illustrates that doubt obstructs the immediate reception of divine promise and disrupts God’s timing. Unbelief is shown to be a serious offense with tangible and immediate repercussion, not simply a private internal struggle.

Those Who Believed and Obeyed Experienced Miraculous Rewards
Abraham: Faith Counted as Righteousness through Belief Against All Odds
Abraham’s story epitomizes the reward of believing God’s word despite natural improbabilities. He trusted God’s promise that he would father a great nation, even though he and Sarah were advanced in age and childless [Genesis 15:6]. The apostle Paul extols this faith as the foundational example of righteousness reckoned by God apart from works [Romans 4:20–22]. Abraham’s belief activated the covenantal blessings, demonstrating faith as the essential means through which divine promises are accessed and made real.

The Widow of Zarephath: Obedience Amid Scarcity Yields Divine Provision
In a time of famine, Elijah commanded a widow to feed him first despite limited resources. Her obedience to this divine instruction granted her household unending provision of meal and oil throughout the drought [1 Kings 17:13–16]. This story illustrates how faith in God’s word, when acted upon, unleashes miraculous sustenance and protection. It provides a concrete example that trusting obedience can invert natural scarcity into divine abundance.

Mary’s Submission: The Supreme New Covenant Model of Faith
Mary’s response to the angel Gabriel—“Be it unto me according to thy word” [Luke 1:38]—stands as the pinnacle of obedient faith under the new covenant. Her submission aligns human will completely with divine will, setting the stage for the incarnation, which is the great fulfillment of Old Testament promise. Mary’s example signifies that faith is not static belief but dynamic surrender, enabling God’s redemptive plan to unfold in history.

Faith as the Means to Divine Power and Alignment
The biblical narrative reveals a consistent theological insight: faith activates divine power because it aligns the believer’s will with God’s unchanging word. The promise and power of God rest operationally on human trust and obedience. Without such faith, divine blessings remain locked, underscoring the indispensable role of believing obedience for experiencing God's miraculous works.

Contemporary Application: Obedience to God’s Word in a Distrustful Age
Challenges of Trusting Divine Instruction in Modern Culture
Today’s culture is characterized by skepticism and relativism, often dismissing absolute truths and divine authority. Within this climate, trusting and obeying God’s word becomes countercultural, even radical. The Christian life demands submission to Scriptural truth, even when it conflicts with prevailing cultural norms or personal inclinations. This obedience is a vital expression of discipleship and reflects an enduring commitment to God’s eternal standard [John 14:23].

Practical Obedience as the Test of Authentic Faith
The New Testament consistently calls believers to not only hear God's word but to do it [James 1:22]. This involves commitment to moral integrity, generosity, forgiveness, and sexual purity, which remain non-negotiable markers of true faithfulness. Contemporary obedience thus serves as a litmus test distinguishing mere profession from genuine discipleship. Such obedience evidences hearts aligned with God’s will, marked by Spirit-enabled transformation rather than mere legalistic conformity.

Divine Approval Still Bestowed on Belief and Obedience Today
Hebrews 11 affirms the enduring principle that without faith it is impossible to please God [Hebrews 11:6]. The believers who obey God’s word today, despite pressure from a distrustful age, align themselves with the eternal faith heroes of Scripture. They receive divine approval and inherit blessings, both temporal and eternal, as a result of trusting submission. True faith remains the pathway to spiritual fruitfulness, eternal stability, and intimate relationship with God in every age.

The Countercultural Rewards of Believing God’s Word
While the world prizes skepticism as wisdom, Scripture declares that believing God’s word is the path to life and blessing. Obedience opens the door to the divine rewards promised throughout God’s covenantal dealings with His people. These include not only temporal blessings but eternal rewards, such as the crown of life and the inheritance promised to those who remain steadfast under trial [James 1:12]. Therefore, in an age skeptical of absolute truth, believers are called to a courageous trust that honors God and reaps eternal dividends.

The Immutable Truth of Divine Speech and Human Response
The biblical witness is unequivocal: when God speaks, His word demands belief, obedience, and trust. Doubt and unbelief bring disastrous consequences, severing individuals from God’s promises and blessings, as typified by Israel's wilderness wandering and Zacharias’ muteness. Conversely, those who embrace God’s word with obedient faith—like Abraham, the widow of Zarephath, and Mary—experience miraculous provision, righteousness, and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. In a modern context fraught with skepticism, the call remains to trust and obey God’s holy word as the ultimate test of authentic discipleship. Such faith activates divine power, pleases God, and secures eternal rewards. Thus, unwavering belief in the divine word remains the foundation of spiritual stability, divine approval, and eternal life.

The Jerusalem above is free and is the mother of us all (Believers).

I have done that and even charged it with nepa light.
Its still flickering

I believe it is not all the bulbs that blinks. Replace that particular bulb and see if the blinking persist. A capacitor inside the LED bulb may have been damaged. There is nothing wrong with your solar system.

God chose Israel before the nations; He called a people to bear His name, to reflect His image, and to steward His purposes on earth. Out of that people He raised David and founded a city for His presence — a place meant to be a renewed garden, a city of peace where man would keep his identity and exercise godly dominion. But choice matters. Israel could be chosen and still turn away. Jerusalem could be planted and still refuse to let God rule. The question that echoes from Scripture into our lives today is simple and final: which Jerusalem will you live in?

Time and again the stories of Israel teach the same lesson: God fights for a people who will let Him. When the nation bowed to Baal and the altars of falsehood dominated the land, God raised up a prophet named Elijah. On Mount Carmel he called the people to look, to decide, to commit. Fire fell from heaven and consumed the drenched sacrifice — a public, undeniable proof that the Lord alone rules. The season of choice was not simply political; it was spiritual. The call was to allegiance, to a trust that makes the heart stop bargaining with idols and begin following the living God.

Elisha’s ministry deepens that lesson. When soldiers surrounded the prophet and his servant trembled, Elisha prayed and heaven’s cavalry was revealed — chariots and horses of fire guarding the hills. The enemy was blinded by God’s hand and led away into confusion. Later, during famine, Elisha’s word of overflowing provision sounded impossible to the skeptical officer who mocked the promise and never tasted the abundance when it came. Yet four rejected lepers — outcasts of society — stumbled into the enemy camp and discovered the abandoned spoil. God uses the unexpected to show that trusting Him brings abundance where scarcity seemed final, and that unbelief can watch provision pass by.

Gideon’s victory shows the same divine logic: an army reduced to three hundred, victory by trumpet and broken jar, confusion in the enemy camp. God does not need our numbers; He needs our humility. Jehoshaphat’s response to overwhelming threat captures the posture God honors — fasting, worship, a people gathered in prayer. The word came: “Do not be afraid… for the battle is not yours but God’s” — and they were told to “stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” Instead of armor and strategies, God asked for faith and praise; the Lord set ambushes and gave them victory without the people entering the fray.

Each sign and deliverance was a summons: surrender your counsel, abandon your idols, stop trusting in arms, kings, and schemes, and trust Me. Yet repeated miracles did not permanently reorient the heart of the earthly Jerusalem. The city that had seen fire and blindness and abundance still chose its own way. The final tragedy was their rejection of the Messiah. They crucified the One who embodied the truth of every sign, who was the very fire, the true Provider, the unseen Host, and the everlasting King. By rejecting Him they revealed the depth of rebellion that kept them from the city God intended.

But the cross is the hinge of history. Far from terminating God’s plan, it opened the road to the true city. In Christ the Davidic promise finds its consummation: the Root and Offspring of David reigns forever. The New Jerusalem — not built by human hands but coming down from heaven — is a city where the Lamb is trusted, where there is no crying, no weeping, no war; where God himself wipes away every tear. Where the earthly city offered strife, the heavenly city offers peace.

Now hear how these ancient scenes call to us today. The dramas of Elijah, Elisha, Gideon, and Jehoshaphat are not only past miracles; they are patterns for the life of faith. They teach us what it means to choose a Jerusalem:

— The choice of allegiance: Elijah forced a verdict — whose voice will you follow? Jesus calls the same decision now: He is the way, the truth, and the life. Allegiance means more than assent; it means yielding our counsel and letting Christ rule our decisions.

— The posture of faith: Jehoshaphat’s “stand still” was not passivity but faith-anchored stillness — praise before the problem, worship instead of worry. Jesus invites us to that rest: to come to Him and find rest for our souls, to trust His finished work rather than fight in our own strength.

— The economy of the kingdom: Elisha’s overflowing provision and the lepers’ discovery teach that God’s supply often comes in ways the proud do not expect. The one who scoffs at God’s promise may see it fulfilled and never taste it. Trust opens us to abundance; unbelief shuts the door.

— The way of weakness and victory: Gideon’s three hundred remind us that God’s victories are not trophies for human pride but displays of His glory. The Lord honors a humble remnant who refuse to trust in size or strategy and instead depend on Him.

And centrally: the cross shows us how God fights. He did not come to give nations another policy or to empower earthly thrones. He came in the person of Jesus to bear our rebellion, to take the blow we deserved, to break the power of lies, and to open the way into the city where He reigns. When Jesus says that if the Son makes you free you shall be free indeed, He shows that freedom is not a temporary release but a new state of being — citizenship in a city where the Lamb is trusted by all.

So how does one choose the heavenly Jerusalem today? It is simple in principle and demanding in practice:

— Repent of the little idolatries that pretend to be answers: self-sufficiency, fear, pride, and the counsel of the world.
— Believe in Jesus — not only that He lived and died, but that He is your Lord, your Provider, your Defender, and your King.
— Abide — keep faith by staying in His word, by worship, by prayer, and by obedience. Standing still in God is a continuing posture of trust, not a one-time act.
— Participate in the life of the city: feast at His table, welcome the outcast, share provision, and bring praises before problems.

Those who choose the earthly Jerusalem will continue to wage wars they were never meant to win: wars of anxiety, identity, and hollow substitutes. Those who choose the heavenly Jerusalem learn a different rhythm — a rhythm of rest in God, of battles done by the Lord, and of hearts secured in the Lamb. The stories of Elijah and Elisha, of Gideon and Jehoshaphat, become our mirror: will we be the scoffing officer who saw and missed the feast, or the humbled remnant who walked into abundance and victory?

Every generation stands at its own Mount Carmel. Every decision between fear and faith, between idols and trust, answers the same question. Choose. Will your life be defined by the stone city of endless strife, or by the city that comes down from heaven where the Lamb rules and there is no more sorrow? Choose your Jerusalem.

The First Word Jesus Mentioned When He Started Preaching

"Repent"!

Matthew 4:17 (KJV)

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Not surprising because Jesus Himself said He came to call sinners to repentance. Luke 5:32.

God bless.

Jesus came calling the Israelites to repentance. He did not call any other people but the Israelites because they were the chosen people of God. Because of their rebellion and going to the extent of killing their prophets and Saviour, a door is opened to all who will now be the new chosen people of God. The royal priesthood.

This call for repentance is evident that once saved, always saved is false. If that were to be the truth, Jesus won't be calling his saved and chosen people to repentance.

You that believe, and has been received in the household of God, the call to repentance is a daily examination of our life and actions to conform to the image of the righteous king. Don't believe that you need no other repentance or salvation. That was what the Israelites did while trusting in the law and manipulating it for their benefits while ignoring the giver of the law and killing the prophets sent to warn them.

Repent of the little sins and secret sins.

When I hear such words like division and tribalism, I first check who is making such statements. The obvious is always discernible from afar. Obi has lived in Lagos and owned property in Lagos and is a great contributor in building the market in question. If government of Lagos state is not partisan and tribalistic, they would call stakeholders of the market and discuss improvement of the market or it relocation with the stakeholders. But that has not been the case. It is always deliberate action to keep Obi crying for the oppressed without thinking about the support he will gain afterwards. When you don't like someone being pitied by the public, avoid anything that would make him to Cry even though you feel he deserved to be punished.

eNaira was an answer to the loss of currency sovereignty that cryptocurrencies brought to the financial ecosystem worldwide. Nigeria was not the only country with a digital version of its currency. There are several others.

The issue is whether digital currencies would have the same appeal as their fiat and paper counterparts

eNaira was never a digital currency. It is just a mobile wallet in naira. It was intended to be used to control currency circulation without any benefits or interest to customers but the likes of opay and palmpay shattered that wicked plan by providing benefits to users. It has no digital footprint or backed by any physical commodity.
The government should have made it a digital currency backed by commodity that appreciates in value. But unfortunately, government has no produce and therefore no commodity to back up the digital currency.

The best you can do is to instill creativity in your wards. They will eventually learn to use the techs to create something beautiful for themselves.

Most elites that keep their children from social media or news are only controlling them so they won't be hated more than the one they are experiencing. It's all about keeping them away from negative public perception of them.

Tech has made people smarter as learning has become easier and accessible via the net and these videos that you consider as agent of brain rot.

The best anyone can do for their wards is to instill creative instinct in them and they will always chose to use the available techs for creative purposes.

TheBizGenius:
I absolutely loved your write up and your argument. It is sound and laudable.

I have just 1 thing I do not agree with though; that it would take Government or your employer to give you quality of life.

Every one has the power of choice. You can choose to get off the rat race and stop spinning. How? Just stop competing.

Find a sweetheart who wears cheap Ankara, go to the nearest redeemed church that is walking distance to you, find a job in your local government etc.

Value having your quality of life and eventually, it will grow with time because you are in control of your time, choices and life.

Is all this difficult?

Yes, but only because you would have to prioritize Fulfilment over Achievement in a generation that rates people by how much you have achieved.

It's the classic tortoise vs the rabbit race. Anyone can be the tortoise if you choose you are not competing against any other person. Because, really, really, you are not.

Thanks for your feedback. It struck right on time.

I don't really know how to go for whats good for me leaving out others. The program is strong on me though. I have to achieve something, not for myself, for someone to be fulfilled and for hope of achieving sparks of the quality of life I envisage. Being a problem solver is not an easy burden. You end up trying to carry everyones burden.

Again, it is easy for a third party to derail from an understanding that was reached because of the competition and striving. Seeing others quality of life will always raise comparisons and that can birth competition and more striving for higher class.

I reason like one who knows how to solve peoples problems not minding his but can't because of inescapable roadblock by superior class of systems.
This is enough to make such statement you quoted

The absence of kitchen cooked food is not the problem.
It is busyness.
Everyone has been programmed to be busy.

In time past, people work for themselves.
They farm, they hunt. They volunteer for others. That was a different kind of busyness.
They do everything on their own terms without the dictate of government or an employer.

They work when they want, rest when they want, play when they like and eat what they have. That was what joy was like.

Now, everyone is trying to impress another to earn survival wage.
You have to sweat to eat on the terms of the government or the private institutions. You are obligated to give your best to your employer. Your time, your sleep, your volunteerism.
If you want to play, you might next meal might be at stake.

This was not caused by the absence of the home cooked kitchen food. It was caused by the absence of kitchen food items created by class action and government policies.

The trade by bata was replaced with currency, you have to work for the owner of the currency to be able to access what you don't have. The more you try to meet a basic need the less time available for other needs. That was the birth of busyness

Everything happening is deliberate. The owners of the currencies could have taken the responsibility of producing these kitchen food items cheaply but they would loose control over the people. They have to keep the people striving for survival to keep them in check. Unbreakable chain.

The kitchen home cooked food will gain dominance again if striving is removed, and that can only happen if class and competition is no longer in existence.
That would also mean end to control.

That is freedom.

Only few of the wealthy embrace it.

Striving is mans curse after all.
Only the one that placed the curse can lift it.
