@TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Talk about hypocrisy!

THAT is some turning of the truth!!!

So he didn't have a visa for the *#USA*

And used someone else's real passport

Yet *#WE* prosecuted him

The point you are "rebutting" is how many illegal immigrants to *#THIS* country do "#WE" prosecute FOR THE SAME?!

 @Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour We don't prosecute people entering THIS country using a relatives passport "accidentally"

We don't prosecute people for ADMITTEDLY DELIBERATELY entering THIS country without the right passport to "test" the system

In fact #Channel4akeNews had a whole programme (series?) of it!
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Was anyone at or on the #Channel4 programme prosecuted for illegally entering the country

Attempting it

Or aiding & abetting it

And that's ON TOP of the THOUSANDS of illegal immigrants who illegally enter the country without the correct or even ANY legal travel documents
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Or through correct legal entry points

Illegal immigrants don't just enter country without correct or any travel documents

Many (most?) don't go through customs or passport control

And not only do they not get prosecuted for it

The "liberal" left insist it's not a crime either
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Similarly the "liberal" left in US insist if you enter US illegally it's not a crime

But also dispute authorities claim any illegal immigrant trying to get through immigration hasn't "entered" the USA yet & so not entitled to US constitutional rights

AIUI #TommyRobinson hadn't
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour As I understand it #TommyRobinson hadn't actually even "entered" USA on that basis

He didn't completely go through immigration as he thought he'd been rumbled & caught a flight back

So why were *#WE* prosecuting him for a *#US* crime he didn't commit

And *#WE* don't prosecute!
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour So why did *#WE* prosecute #TommyRobinson for a crime he didn't commit in the *#USA*

When we don't prosecute thousands of others for doing it here

AND "liberals" here & in US say ISN'T a crime anyway!

But you all wet your knickers over #Tommy getting convicted of it?!!!
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Some more of YOUR & THEIR stretching of truth:

His conviction for cop on piss with mates deciding to interrupt a VERBAL argument between #TommyRobinson & his future wife with a rugby tackle from behind was because during the execution of it the drunk cop headbutted #Tommy's boot
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour That conviction incidentally led to loss of access to his airside aircraft maintenance apprenticeship & so a normal well paid career

Some more of YOUR & THEIR stretching of truth:

"Masterminding" 2 "serious frauds" was ONLY thing authorities could find after MONTHS of trawling!
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour Your "Masterminding" two "serious frauds" was ONLY thing authorities could find after MONTHS of trawling not just through all #TommyRobinson's affairs but his whole family's!

What you & other "liberals" "forget" to say it was the heinous crime of victimless MORTGAGE "fraud"!!!
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour #TommyRobinson was "guilty of "crime" of #MORTGAGEfraud which EVERYONE that gets help with deposit from bank of mum & dad without declaring it is guilty of

EVERYONE that adjusts their self-employed income or overtime & expenses claims to boost their apparent income is guilty of
@Pady_oFurniture @TadeuszBorowski @AnnaPembroke @pritipatel @UKLabour No doubt many if not most of the cops & robbers sorry lawyers & judges guilty of stitching up #TommyRobinson have been guilty of #MORTGAGEfraud

Including MP #PeterMandelson & lawyer & MP Geoffrey Robinson

Did any of those get prosecuted

Never mind bankrupted with fines

Err NO

The people can always be brought to the bidding...tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the naysayers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

Hermann Goring

We've seen reports of Yoruba leaders asking President Buhari to stop the war and sack service chiefs immediately as a way of beginning restructuring.Our country is sitting on a keg of gunpowder they claim. Once again partisan hacks want to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

You see, when you are fighting small limited wars there is a natural inclination , on the part of politicians not directly impacted by the war to want to blow things out of proportion. There is a basic disconnection now in this country between the population and the war

....and i find it quite frankly. Frightening. Compared to what was obtainable 2015, the security situation in Nigeria has vastly improved yet the media ..and partisan hacks portray a much more pessimistic narrative.

Consider that in 2015 over 21 Local government areas and 2.6 million Nigerians were cut off from the rest of the country, under the administration of a caliphate in Nigeria for 16 months. A huge chunk of the northeast was no mans country.

Humans inherently like the act of solidarity. We are social beings. We like to huddle up and be together.
They used this against us.
They convinced us that it was an act of solidarity to flatten the curve, to wear a mask for others, to take the vaccines for others,


and to reach #covidzero for others. They convinced us that this was for the greater good of society.
In reality, this couldn't be further away from the truth. They have divided us and broken the core structure of our society. They have dehumanized us with their masks.

They set us against each other into clans on opposite sides of a spectrum. They have turned us into aggressive beings fighting for our survival. Some of us fear harm from the virus, others fear harm from the vaccine, and yet others fear harm from the attack on our civilization.

We are all on a flight or fight mode. We are all operating under the influence of fear. We must collect ourselves and reflect on what has happened over the last year.
How is this for the greater good of society?

They used a tactical warfare strategy against us.
'Divide and conquer'.
We fell for it.
Now we must become aware of it and fight back.
We must reunite. We must find true solidarity to save our world. To free ourselves. To regain our autonomy.

People! Have you seen people being rude to each other during meetings, maybe directed at women/people of colour/disabled people/LGBTQ+ people? Do you want to help prevent this abuse?

Some tips you can consider as a bystander depending on the situation (thread)

Have a code of conduct and circulate it. Make it clear that abusive behaviour will not be accepted. Build in accountability strategies (what happens if someone violates it). Have a moderator/chair to observe the dynamics of your group.

This kind of behaviour is very normalised and insidious, so train yourself to spot it. Is there somebody that usually interrupts? Is there somebody that usually gets interrupted and silenced? Are there signs of aggressive communication?

Not everyone might like that you jump at their defense - your heart might be in the right place but it can come across as patronising. Try to bring up the subject with your colleagues and see what they think. Foster a culture of positive communication.

Once you see that somebody is trying to interrupt - politely redirect the discussion towards the person that was originally speaking. Eg "thank you for that, now I'd really like to hear what person xyz was saying earlier".

Part of what is going on here is that large sectors of evangelicalism are poorly equipped to help people deal with basic struggles, let alone the ubiquitous pornography addictions that most of their men have been enslaved to for years.


On the one hand, there's a high standard of holiness. On the other hand, there's a model of growth that is basically "Try Harder to Mean it More." Identify the relevant scriptural truth & believe it with all of your sincerity so that you may access the Holy Spirit's help to obey.

Helping sincere believers believe and obey the Bible facts is pretty much all the Holy Spirit does these days, other than convict us of our sins in light of the Bible facts.

If you know you are sincere and hate your sin and believe the right Bible facts as hard as you can but continue to be enslaved to your pornography addiction, what else left for you to do? Just Really, Just Really, Just Really Trust God and Give it to Him?

To suggest that there are other strategies available sounds to those formed in this model of growth like one is also suggesting that the Bible is insufficient, but it also suggests something just as threatening- that there are aspects of reality that are not immediately apparent.

The Ife Primary Education Research Project (1970-1983).

aka

The Ife 6-Year Primary Project.


In 1970, as the Director of the Institute of Education of the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife), later Dean Faculty of Education, Prof. Babs Fafunwa & his team embarked on one of the most groundbreaking research projects in education for Yorubaland.


The aim of the project was to test the hypothesis that the best instructional medium for good concept formation at a very tender age is the mother tongue.

This was bolstered by the observation that “of all the continents and peoples of the world, it is only in Africa…

…that formal education is offered in a language that is foreign to the child.”

So, Yoruba was to be used & tested as an exclusive medium of passing information or instructions to a set of pupils.

The project was based on the premise that:

(a). the child will benefit culturally, socially, linguistically & cognitively.

(b). the child’s command of English will be improved if he is taught English as an entirely separate subject by a specialist teacher through the 6 years.

#DoYouKnow -The place where
Lalitha Sahasranamam -1000 names of Devi originated.

It is in Lalithambigai temple -Thirumeeyachur,Near Mayiladuthurai,TN

There is a Legend #story & it is related to this beautiful #sculpture of Kshetrapuraneswarar & Ambal Lalithambigai #Thread 👇


#Legend #story
It is believed that this is birth place of Kashyapa Maharishi’s sons, Arunan& Garudan. Arunan(charioteer of Surya)was physically handicapped.He was a Shiva devotee.Arunan wanted to visit Kailash to have Shiva Darshan,but Surya Dev denied permission.

So Arunan disguised as a girl & was on his way to Kailash.On the way Surya Dev saw this girl & outraged her modesty.Shiva was very angry with Suryan for misbehaviour & cursed him to get darkened. Whole world plunged into darkness.Surya Dev pleaded to Bhagwan Shiv to forgive him.

Shiva Bhagwan asked him to go to Thirumiyachur & worship him there. As advised, Surya Dev performed rigorous penance, placed murthi of Shiva& Parvathy on an elephant & took them to the clouds.Shiva in this temple is known as Meganathaswamy,Devi is known as Lalithambigai


Even after severe penance,Shiva does appear,so Surya Dev cries out in agony.Disturbed by his call, Parvathy protests.Siva pacifies her & offers relief to Surya Dev.The sculpture of Shiva pacifying Ambal shows her sullen from one angle &smiling from another.

Hello, writers! How about a thread on LITERARY AGENTS? How to get one, how to talk to one, how to keep one happy. Spoiler alert: I am 100% pro agent and can't imagine not having one on my side. 1/

Why would you want a literary agent?
* you want to be traditionally published
* you want someone experienced to help guide your career
* you want to learn how to edit like a pro
* you want to sell foreign and movie rights
* you want answers to your newbie questions 2/

Why you might *NOT* want a literary agent:
* you want to self publish
* you're not willing to compromise on your edits
* you don't think their expertise is worth 15% of your advance
I... can't think this way. Literary agents have been crucial to my career. 3/

So, how do you get a literary agent?
1. Have a finished, revised, edited, polished manuscript.
2. Write a query letter for your book
3. Send your query to agents who rep your genre and are open to submissions
4. Repeat steps 1-4 until you're offered representation. 4/

So, let's go through those four steps. First of all, you must have a finished, revised, edited, polished book, and it must be sellable. That is, you can't sell a 600k picture book or a 40k adult Fantasy, etc. You must read extensively in the genre you're writing. 5/

MEENAKSHI AMMAN, MADURAI (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

A paadal Petra sthalam where Shiva took the form of Sundareswarar (the handsome one) and married Devi Parvati (Meenakshi).
Devi is also known by the name Angayarkanni (mother with the beautiful fish eyes).
@GunduHuDuGa


Devi Meenakshi emerged from yagna fire as a 3 year old girl when Pandyan King Malayadwaja and Kanchanamalai were praying for a child.
It is said that Devi was born with three breasts and there was a prophesy that her superfluous breast would melt away when she met her husband.


Devi ruled over Madurai and captured Indralok. She went on to capture Kailasha. When she saw Shiva, her 3rd breast disappeared and she realised that Shiva would be her consort.
The divine marriage was attended by all Devas and Sri Vishnu (as her brother) gave her hand to Shiva.


It is said that Indra found a swayambhu lingam at Kadamba Vanam. He placed it in Madurai where the kshetram stands. Here, Shiva is seen on the vehicle of Indra.
The Golden Lotus Tank is said to be the place where a golden lotus blossomed for the puja performed by Indra.


The Meenakshi Thirukalyanam festival is celebrated in the Chithirai month to mark the divine marriage of Meenakshi Amman. The festival includes a procession where Meenakshi and Sundareshwara travel in a chariot and Sri Vishnu gives away his sister in marriage to Shiva.
