They mostly go to the next place they frequent in their dreams.

Dreaming is technically death. We as souls cannot die and cannot sleep.

To exist on a material world, we wear a material body which helps us make with physical things.

While this is useful, it is also a handicap. We cannot through walls, talk to one another from distances, see the future, etc.

We however do escape the body while it is sleeping. We wake up and call our visitation of diverse planets and dimensions " dreams".

Dreams or OBEs are prove that people do not really die.

What is the basis if this reasoning?

OP asked from a biblical point of view.

The Bible does not teach this.

The Bible teaches that at death, Man knows absolutely nothing, can do absolutely nothing, and can change absolutely nothing.

When a man dies, if he is fortunate to get a burial, he rots to dust silently and in a dignified way.

If he does not get a burial, he still rots, but most of his fles probably becomes carrion for the scanvenger birds and beast of the field.

The soul that you say cannot die, well that's a lie Satan has propagated for years.

Even Angels are not immortal....how much less Man?

I went to a woman selling rice in my area, around Giwa after Iju Shaga.

I bought a bag of rice 56,500

I was happy because the last time I bought rice 3 Months ago was 69k and was praying it didn't increase.

I pray next time it will be 30k

How much is a bag of rice in your location

56k.....guy you sure say no be that rice wey dem curse you go buy?

Eye wey dey red anyhow for Lagos....Agege boys wey no dey here 1 dem don do 10 20

You are communicating on a global forum
but behaving as if you are simply gossiping
with your village neighbor..

You just mentioned a name of a hamlet without
indicating which state or region of Nigeria 🇳🇬
and which type of rice..

I see you love cheap things 👁 👀

You better park well.. 😤

Hamlet?....Iju Ishaga?.....hamlet

My friend clear the potopoto for your eye first. No dey come embarrass yourself here.

CodeTemplarr:
Stop the useless back n forth. I gave you a solid example. Most MDAs run autonomously so stop saying cbn monetary policies affect them. Does it affect them when they steal?

You are not open to being reasonable.

I also just gave you valid indicators of critical CBN participation, but you simply just want to push your agenda.

Perhaps you are a stakeholder in CBN. Nairaland has all sorts of monikers so you really don't know whose behind it.

For all I care, you could be Cardoso or one of his pot-bellied minions.

In any case, have a nice day

CodeTemplarr:

Try harder. What is the Agric Minister doing? Trade & Industry? Finance? Naseni director? NUC and top schools?
If we suddenly produce double rice volume of we currently do, we can export to have dollar as well as crash prices and strengthen Naira. Thats a simple case scenario that strengthens the Naira without the involvement of CBN. I have always maintained and will always maintain that Naira strength is not a CBN or CBN governor thing. It is a productivity and export-readiness thing.
The attitude of past CBN gov, who take credits when market forces are favourable and indices experience improvements, has played no small role in this destructive trend. Even Wale Edun and Yemi Cardoso are doing same so maybe i should just the voices blaming them for Naira value decline. I wont do that. Never!

I don't need to try harder. Whether or not you agree changes nothing.

You are right that CBN cannot directly impact output. CBN won't plant seeds. CBN won't harvest crops. CBN won't hire workers on the far. You are right.

But, interestingly, you mention Trade and Industry. You also mentioned Finance. Are these sectors not directly impacted by CBN's monetary policies?

Credit availability, interest rates, exchange rates, and inflation. Are these not under the direct purview of the CBN? Do these things not directly impact the real sector?

That's the point. CBN does not play a direct role. Still, CBN has a lot to do. And we saw the impact CBN could make on the economy during the time of Sanusi.

Demand and supply forces are not the doings of CBN. Did Soludo or Sanusi bring dollars from anambra/kano to supply of dollar?
This is cheap politics.


If as things stand today, Nigeria improves forex inflow by selling ten times more cocoa, coffee and cotton, that will bring in more forex and undoubtedly strengthen the Naira, will it be the doing of a CBN governor that farmers improved their output? I can see you after cheap political bashing and not rigorous mental exercise to unravel soluutions. Ride on and be typing derânged things up and down.

What’s true:
- The CBN does not control how many bags of cocoa a farmer grows.
- The CBN does not directly set how many dollars flow in from exports or remittances.
- It cannot decree productivity into existence.

What’s also true:
- The CBN’s monetary policy directly affects lending rates, inflation, and access to capital, which can either spur or stifle production.
- Through intervention programs, forex policies, and its role in stabilising the financial system, the CBN helps create the enabling environment for those macroeconomic activities to thrive.
- The CBN is a co-pilot in national economic strategy, not a spectator.

The deeper issue is when a CBN is run like a profit-first investment bank, catering to the elite financial sector while neglecting its developmental mandate, that’s when you get public frustration.

Suppose the CBN isn’t thinking like a strategic arm of national progress in sync with fiscal authorities, trade, and infrastructure planners. In that case, it’s failing at its job, regardless of whether it hits profit targets.

Why na

Not good oo, abi US don broke?

Make them stop this tariff war abeg

The economy is not in a good state.

Most people living in US now complain like Nigeria .... "No Money"

And then you wonder......no money?......in the US?.....How?

Firebox123:
can't you see the payment receipt

Is that not enough evidence

Evidence that what?

Before the payment was made, were checks not conducted?

So you paid and drove the car out of sight of the seller. You as the buyer drove away from the seller.

And then you later came back to say something happened?

How do we know you have not tampered with the car?

What did you do between then and now?

You see why this receipt proves nothing.

Something doesn't quite add up.

If you took a loan from Palm Pay and had to wait 3 years to pay it back, you certainly should be paying far more.

And then again, what did you expect after taking a loan and overshooting the term?

Shocking report coming from Reuters.
Looking like what a typical Nigerian blog would write.
It takes an average of 3-5 years to harvest Cocoa.
So how can someone that went into cocoa farming in 2023,have harvested and sold that much by early 2025 or even 2024 when the guy interviewed would have harvested?
I hope Reuters has not been sold another agric scam because before you know it ponzi schemes would start exploding, telling people they will double their money in 6months once they invest their money into a cocoa farming programme with promises to buy hectares of cocoa that would be harvested and exported to the international market in 6months

Because they didn't start planting in 2023.

For your information, you are merely reading what has already been happening. The only reason this came out was because of the cocoa boom

Volkswagen could have had something like this in Nigeria

The day I got a chance to see inside Volks at Iyana Oba area, I was like wow.

Look rich...

People are so materialistic.

I don't care about looking rich. I care about being noticed.

Cheap cars that still get you noticed.....which one is look rich.

Look rich ko....rich look ni

Where are all the Bet exchanges Traders in Nigeria and Africa. Let's come together here and uplift each other with our knowledge and experience. Many people will benefit from this.

Shalom!

But yeah....I guess you probably figured out what I know already.

But if Osewa allows us to talk in peace without bot modding us into oblivion, yeah...why not. We can start a something since we have some good numbers

I can't drop a link here cos it's against the rule.

Thanks.

But you can talk about it. You don't need to drop a link.

Oh and by the way, I know the platform you're talking about. It's not worth it. AT ALL. Just a bloody waste of time.

It's not even a real exchange in the real sense of it. It's just a pretender.

The best way to use etfair in Nigeria is through a bet broker

It’s the crass effrontery behind all of these statements that ticks it off for me. Not just the lies, but the arrogance with which they are told. Election rigging has now been so normalized in Nigeria that it’s practically a formal stage in the election process. It’s no longer about the people’s voice or the power of the mandate — it’s about how big your bank vault is, how much you can throw around to grease palms, mobilize thugs, compromise INEC officials, and sabotage opposition votes. That’s the new definition of political strategy.

What’s worse is how openly these acts are discussed, almost like we’re meant to clap for the audacity. We’re now watching grandfathers and fathers, men who should be custodians of wisdom and dignity, publicly boasting, unashamed, displaying crass stupidity and unrefined “monkeyry” (or shall I say baboonry) for the world to see. The global community watches as we act out our own national embarrassment, like jesters in a failed circus.

Nigeria has become a tragic punchline in the league of failed nations — a case study in how not to run a country. How can a people be so collectively impotent, and a leadership class so proudly inept, corrupt, and self-indulgent? The only real distinction between the average tout on the street and the average Nigerian politician today is the size of their loot. Strip away the stolen billions and the thugs in agbada are no different from the area boys they hire.

And then we have individuals like Dino Melaye — a man who embodies everything wrong with Nigeria’s political elite. Watching a grown man flaunt old luxury cars like a 24-year-old with a new allowance is both embarrassing and sad. It’s not even about the cars — it’s the hollowness of a life so desperately trying to mask its lack of substance with noise and flash. Is this the role model for our future generation? Is this what success looks like in Nigeria now?

Honestly, it’s exhausting. It’s shameful. And it’s dangerous. Because every time we allow this madness to go unchecked, we signal to the next generation that this is okay. That this is the way. That you don’t need competence, vision, or integrity — just a fat wallet, a thick skin, and a louder horn.

TWEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Trumpet mouth.

E get where noise go reach....e no go different from mad man shout.

It doesn't matter what you say or do, even if you hug transformer sef....it is settled. CR7 is already indelibly written in the anals of time as one of the greatest ever to play the round leather game of soccer.

CR7 will forever be a classic example of how any average player can climb on the pedestal of legendary glory by sheer hard work and determination. You can never take that away from CR7.

This is merely his twilight. One man does not win a match. It takes an entire team to win trophies.

If you cant see that, then you are just exactly what I called you....... a raving lunatic

This doesn't stop anything.

The problem is that systems have completely failed.

The Police - Corrupt

The People - Rabid and out of control

The Nigerian prison system is bad, yes. But, not as graphic as he's painted it.

Who's faeces was he packing?

Let's take away sentiments. There are warders and the prison system is regulated. There's no way he will be packing human waste.

The boy is lying and I can tell you from experience.

I had a business disagreement that took us to court and I got bailed but, couldn't meet up the bail conditions same day so, had to be remanded until the bail conditions were met so, I've been there.

Not even fighting is allowed. There is law and order in the prison vicinity. It's a world of it's own with it's own rules but, nobody will dare ask you to pack human waste. You can be asked to wash the toilet and bathroom of your cell. That's usually regulated especially amongst those who do not have corner posts. And, most times as punishment if you were fined but, couldn't pay up.

It's not a duty that you do. There is law and order in the prison even amongst inmates.

By the way, he was in the Awaiting trial men cells. Even the prisoners who have been sentenced won't be asked to do that not to talk of him.

He's lying to gain sympathy.

Until you go there, whatever you hear outside is not really true. People move about freely in the compound, buying and selling of everything from foodstuffs to everything smokable (for those who indulge in that) happens daily and they even cook.

Point is, he was held in confinement which he shouldn't have been but, he shouldn't paint the story to gain attention.

By the way, standing in front of that convoy to an extent tells me he's not that very innocent boy he's been portrayed to be. He may not have been a part of what he was arrested and detained for but, I doubt he's the innocent person he's been portrayed as.

What is your definition od innocent?

How is innocent can the rough life od a motor boy doing fish runs be?

Tell me? What do you mean by innocent?

Yes he is street hardened. Life has mandated that he must be to survive.

Former inmate Quadri Alabi has opened up about the harrowing experiences he faced while incarcerated, revealing that his daily duty involved cleaning human waste. In a gripping and emotional , Alabi shared how the trauma of prison life has left lasting scars, shedding light on the inhumane conditions many inmates endure in silence.

Is it by force to make him speak in English? Speak the language of his heart and translate. I don't understand the crass unprofessionalism in Nigeria

Lagos is a shithole and highly overrated! If I were to be in Nigeria, I can't live in Lagos for free! Imagine going to work by 5am and returning by 11pm with everywhere smelling like shit!!

Just watch as agbado munching nitwits and ronu wailing bastards from ogbomosho come here to claim Lagosians and even call me igbo

You say Lagos is a shithole, yet somehow you’re mad about who gets to call themselves Lagosian? Pick a struggle. The city you claim to hate so much is the same one you can't stop foaming about.

Must be a strange addiction.

Lagos didn’t beg for you. You came here with your baggage, your bitterness, and your bad Wi-Fi, and now you’re pissed the city didn’t roll out a red carpet for your mediocrity.

And your tribal vomits. That’s a loud confession that your IQ goes silent without insults.

‘Agbado munchers,’ ‘ronu wailers,’ sounds like someone read too much Twitter and started mistaking tribalism for personality.

News flash: the real enemy is the system, not your neighbour’s surname. But of course, deflecting is easier when your brain is on factory reset.

You don’t like Lagos? Leave. The drainage won’t miss your entitlement, and the traffic won't notice your exit.

Meanwhile, the rest of us Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and the other 300+ tribes will keep pushing, building, and surviving, something you clearly can’t handle without crying into your keyboard.

ChildOfDoom:
I started womanizing to help me overcome my addiction of Betting.

It has helped to an extent as I spend majority of my time in a brothel, Eating, drinking, relaxing and fvcking (my mind leaves betting).

The issue now is that, since I started three years back, I have been treating one infection to another. Currently having skin reaction that brings out small inflammation and rashes on my body like my favourite olosho.

I can't help it. I have tried switching to drinking to take over womanizing, but it won't work.

Except I go back to betting (which is worse). In the past, I would sit all day in a bet9ja shop wasting away - gambling with my money, people's money and my belongings. Then I lose focus and don't work

But with womanizing, at least I get some pleasure, and get to use my money little by little. The rate at which it finishes is not as fast as betting.

The thought of having to choose between different bannies to lash at night keeps me motivated during the day to work harder for cash. Just the infection part as condom do burst at times while there are some I only do raw.

I know my lifespan is short, I just want to enjoy it with a sane mind and not fleeing from betting woes. My body is wired to do one addiction to stay placated/elated.

Having a girlfriend is scary. What if I invest a lot on just one girl and she cheats on me

You womanise to avoid betting?

Your name is written in the s of hell in permanent marker ink

I just thought I should edit what I said....

But honestly....if you got scammed by CBEX

I have nothing to say to you

The worst of Atiku will definitely be better than the best of thiefnubuu!

Is only Agbado munching nitwits and ronu wailing bastards that fall for thiefnubuu's antics!

You and the 28 people who liked your reply are FOOLS.

CAPITAL FOOLS.

Can you imagine the nonsense talk?

How did Nigerians become so foolish as to start comparing nonsense versus nonsense?

Are Nigerians never tired? Worst of Atiku better than best of Tinubu??

A known pillager who is interested in nothing but cannibalizing and selling off the entire country......better than Tinubu. When will Nigerians ever rise up to demand ability from leaders. A leader you voted in misbehaves, and the next thing is for you to resign till the next election. Una no dey tire?

Honestly, Bigotry and Poverty has knocked the sensibility out of Nigerians.

That was how they were saying Jonathan was better than Buhari....

The purpose of bathing is to clean the dirt from our body. With the application of soap( any), the cleansing is made easy.

But after bathing with soap, the towel still get dirty after bath.

Why? Let's see who can get close

Because people have a problem differentiating dirt from dead skin cells.

Regardless of how hard you scrub your skin, the moment you step out of the shower, all it takes is for you to rub your finger vigorously on a patch of your skin on your back, tighs, or even leg and you see the dead skin crumbling as the friction of your hands rub on the skin.

It's not dirt....its dead skin cells and a mixture of skin oils. That's what makes your towel look dirty.

By the way, if you use a towel longer than 1 week,.....

No reason ( s) why a Bag of Cement should be Above N5000,in Nigeria!
But last week,I bought 3- Bags of Dangote Cement,at 30,000.,but Why Mr Aliko- Dangote? - just a ❓.
How Many Nigerians- will be able to build their Own Houses - with this high Price of Cement?
• Some Weeks Ago,the Hon.Minister Of Wirks- Umahi had to call out that Cement Price Should Come Down, for it's Affecting the Contractors Jobs!
But why can't the government - States and Federal - go in for Cement Production too?

You see that last question....

That is the only thing that made sense in all that you said.

Everything you said before that last question was like....forgive the expression if you feel insulted.....a dog barking up the wrong tree.

Now when you asked that last question.....insert the Drake emoji for YEAH....That's it.

The problem with humans is that when they are in the thick of pain, they fail to see beyond their noses.

The question you should ask is what is it costing to produce a bag of cement?

What does it cost to bring that cement to the market....to the end ?

Granted, monopoly plays a significant role in the price. But the question is, as you rightly pointed out in your last sentence, why is there a monopoly in the first place? Afterall the limestone deposits in Obajana, Ibese, Gboko and Okpella that Dangote uses are all Federal Mineral Resources.

Consider the fact that Dangote has the largest refinery in the whole of EMEA. How much of that capacity do you think is being fully utilized? Why is it not been fully utilized? I'll give you a very simple reason. Petroleum Importers have a stake that they have nurtured for years. Part of the requirements for the continued existence of that stake is Nigeria's inability to run a functional refinery. Dangote defied those odds, and not only built a refinery but the largest one in EMEA. I hear he is about to start producing polypropylene. Now there is the beginning of another venture that the public will one-day interpret as the monopolization of the plastic industry in Nigeria. When Dangote builds that industry, no one will that the humble beginnings started now, when the noise of Dangote's stranglehold of the Oil and Cement industry was too loud for people to see the baby steps he started taking.

That is what it means to be forward-looking. Something that is grossly lacking in Nigeria where the only way people see as getting rich is to be a pillager, a fraudster or a ritualist.

If his efforts lead to significant MACRO economic benefits to Nigeria as a whole, I am down for that.

Most people say Dangote is greedy. I don't see him as that. I see as a ruthless magnate. And a ruthless magnate who can have his way in a country like Nigeria without an active visible political affiliation, that person holds power.

If this leads to the dollar coming down, if this leads to significant reduction in inflation, if this leads to a higher EFFECTIVE GDP ....I am down for it.

FVCK ALL OF YOU WHO THINK DANGOTE IS GREEDY......OR WHO STILL THINK HE IS A NORTHERNER.....FRANKLY I DONT GIVE A RAT'S ARSE
