BATOM PARA PRISIONEIROS

Em 1945, um grupo de soldados britânicos libertou as vítimas do campo de concentração Bergen-Belsen. Um dos oficiais, o tenente-coronel Mercin Willet Gonin, condecorado pelo exército inglês com a Ordem do Serviço Distinto, relatou em seu... Image

"Sou incapaz de uma descrição apropriada do circo de horrores em que meus homens e eu haveríamos de passar o mês seguinte de nossas vidas - um deserto inóspito, desprotegido como um galinheiro. Havia cadáveres espalhados por todo...
... lado, alguns em pilhas enormes, às vezes isolados ou em pares no mesmo local em que caíam.
Levei algum tempo pra me acostumar com a horrenda visão de homens, mulheres e crianças tombarem ao passar por eles. Sabia-se que 500 deles morriam diariamente e que tal cota...

A LIÇÃO DA CAVEIRA

Um príncipe muito orgulhoso saiu certa manhã a cavalgar por suas terras que eram bastante vastas, repletas de vales, montanhas, colinas e prados. Cultuava-se a si mesmo e à sua vaidade por ser senhor de tantos domínios.
A certa altura do... Image
... caminho, deparou-se com um andarilho, sentado diante de uma gruta. Segurava uma caveira humana e a fitava com tanta atenção que sequer levantou a cabeça ao som dos cavalos e carruagens da caravana real.
O príncipe não gostou nem um pouco da indiferença do...
... sujeito. Aproximando-se dele, disse com rudeza:
- Levanta-te quando teu senhor passa por ti! Que vês de tão interessante nessa mísera caveira, que não reverencias a passagem de um príncipe e seu séquito?
O homem ergueu os olhos serenos e respondeu com calma e firmeza:

BENDITA DOR

Ao cair da tarde de um sábado frio, funcionários de um pronto-socorro receberam um casal e seu filho enrolado num cobertor. Pai e mãe se mostravam apavorados e o pai não parava de dizer:
- Ele se queimou! Ele se queimou!
O que causou espanto aos... Image
... plantonistas foi o fato de o menino parecer estar bem, esboçando até serenidade. No entanto, quando o colocaram na maca e retiraram o cobertor, constataram, estarrecidos, o grande estrago.
Ele sentara sobre a chapa quente de um fogão, queimando gravemente as nádegas e a...

Okay. It's time for another thread. This time, two of my favorite terms from the Christian tradition.

#Sin and #Shalom.

Even if you do not identify with the Christian faith (or any faith tradition), hear me out, your life can be improved by understanding these terms.
Both words, sin and shalom, are said but rarely did I come across any meaningful definitions that I found helpful.

Sometimes they would be defined for me through platitudes that sounded like good answers but were never truly satisfying.
One day, I was reading Augustine's Confessions (a literary classic), and came across the part where he steals some pears with friends.

He then took a bite of the pear and found it unsavory.

This led him to deep reflection. Why did he steal it? Wouldn't the pear be delightful?

7 Qui de vous, ayant un #serviteur qui laboure ou paît les troupeaux, lui dira, quand il revient des champs: Approche vite, et mets-toi à table?
8 Ne lui dira-t-il pas au contraire: Prépare-moi à souper, ceins-toi, et sers-moi, jusqu'à ce que j'aie mangé et bu; après cela, toi, tu mangeras et boiras?
9 Doit-il de la #reconnaissance à ce #serviteur parce qu'il a fait ce qui lui était ordonné?

This is @Haaretz first page in Israel today.

We Israelis, mourn the loss of every child killed in this fight. Theirs and ours. Show me another society grieving for the children of its so called enemy.

Demonizing us with apartheid, and colonial slurs is unjust and inane.
It's also cowardly and ignorant. It shows academic laziness, as well as misplaced morality. A terror organization has taken over the Gaza strip in 2006 exactly because we withdrew from it, not wishing to be colonizers in 2005.
It had thrown its palestinian rivals out of 10 story buildings. It murderd Christians Jews & Gays indiscriminately. It has since fired well over 40,000 missiles and rockets at Israeli civilians. And it doesn't even hide the fact it wishes to genocide all Jews in Israel.

Barely 6years after I broke the news of @MaziNnamdiKanu's arrest in Lagos, how IPOB a group of 'jobless miscreants' who bore just Biafran flags, now bear 'sophisticated' arms & ammunition should give all South East political 'leaders' across Alaigbo & in Abuja, sleepless nights.
2/ Before it is too late, elderstatesmen such as Chief Mbazulike Amechi (92); Chief Ben Nwabueze (89); Chief Emeka Anyaoku (88); Igwe Alfred Achebe (79), et al, should convene a meeting of all SE Govs, Senators, Reps, political, traditional, religious & biz leaders/stakeholders.
3/ Convening this meeting (Nzuko Umunna), has become imperative, with the turn of events across Alaigbo.

With IPOB/ESN leader, @MaziNnamdiKanu technically declaring a "fatwa" on traitorous S-E elites, Yours Truly says it is high time Ndigbo discussed their future in #OneNigeria.

Ebube Agụ, like Amotekun, won't fix the broken security architecture in Alaigbo.

For the umpteenth time, I advise Governors under the aegis of @NGFSecretariat to sue for the urgent Decentralisation of @PoliceNG into 37 Independent State Police & 774 Local Police Departments.
2/ Similarly, militia groups such as the Eastern Security Network (ESN) formed by @MaziNnamdiKanu can't fix the broken security architecture in Alaigbo. Such window gives rise to the formations of more militia groups by politicians & non-State actors.

Alaigbo will surely boil.
3/ Pending Decentralisation of @PoliceNG, Ag. @PoliceNG IG, Alkali Baba Usman must rid all roadways in Alaigbo of Police Roadblocks/Checkpoints which block the free flow of human/vehicular traffic; promote corruption, extortion, arbitrary arrests & police brutalities.

#LASAINTEBIBLE|#Luc14:12-15«12 IL dit aussi à celui qui L'avait invité: Lorsque tu donnes à dîner ou à souper, n'invite pas tes amis, ni tes frères, ni tes parents, ni des voisins riches, de peur qu'ils ne t'invitent à leur tour et qu'on ne te rende la pareille.
13 Mais, lorsque tu donnes un festin, invite des pauvres, des estropiés, des boiteux, des aveugles.

#EDODECIDES2020: HOW OBASEKI CAN TAME FEDERAL MIGHT

@GovernorObaseki of Edo State is not my man-Friday based on certain principles.

Howbeit, ahead of #EdoDecides2020, he is the under-dog, as his estranged buddy- @A_Oshiomhole, @AsiwajuTinubu, et al, are coming with Fed Might. Image
2/ Since 2015, till date, I've critically analyzed several elections conducted under the Muhammadu Buhari regime and I can confidently tell anyone who cares to listen that elections are still 'won' & 'lost' at Polling Units (PUs), depending on who outsmarts best (rigging). Image
3/ Edo has 2,627 Polling Units. @PoliceNG says it was deploying 31, 000 police officers for #EdoDecides2020. Instead of 11 officers per PU, it says it is deploying 3. That is 7,881 police officers manning 2,627 PUs. Where are the rest 23,119 police officers? Kogi/Bayelsa loading? ImageImageImage

When God created man, He gave them the ability to grow & multiply through the seed.

Your life began & has operated by the seed principle -- springing from the good or bad seeds you've sown whether or not you were conscious of your seed planting.

The principle continues today..
To overcome life's problems, reach your potential in life, become fruitful, multiplied & replenished, determine to follow God & His law of seedtime & harvest.

Sow the seed of His promise in the soil of your need.

#Shalom
#JesusLovesYou
The greatest need of a man is God (whether you agree or not).

Seek God first, His kingdom and His righteousness and every other thing will be added to you -- health, fame, family, intellect, character, money, you name it.

Alliance tournée contre l’Iran et la Turquie, contrat d'armement... l’accord #Israel-#Emirats est loin d'être «la paix pour la paix» vantée par #Netanyahu, mais c’est peut-être mieux que cela: la promesse d’1 vraie paix.
Mon analyse dans le mensuel du CCLJ

#Bahrein rejoint les #Emirats et va normaliser ses relations avec #Israel
