1. Sometimes, God calls us to leave where we are because we have forgotten that we are on a journey to the promised land. When we arrive at Horeb, we somehow forget the real aim and become lost in the temporary. @NDBCVI @olaballo @Eromski @sola_ff @YouthsLagos #makeitworkin2021

 2. But, we will not settle for the ephemeral. We are pushing forward to reach the promised land. We refuse to be satisfied with yesterday's happenings. If God told Israel to leave Horeb, why can't we leave too? #makeitwork @dejitula @afolake26 @matchmakers_re @fiyin4God @NDBCVI
3. Israel camped at Horeb, also known as Mount Sinai or the Mountain of God. It was a unique place. There, Moses led Israel to covenant with God. There Moses received the Ten Commandments. Mount Horeb was a special place. But God told them to break camp and advance. Why? @NDBCVI
4. Sometimes, a place of significance can become a barrier. It can become the reason for not growing and pushing forward. Horeb represents a place of significance. Why should you pay attention to Horeb? #livetogrow
5. First, Horeb represents the place of ENCOUNTER. All of us should cherish our place of encounter. It is the point of joy, the place of pleasure, or the location of delight. Horeb was an exciting place for the Israelites and Moses. @NDBCVI
6. Remember it was there Moses saw the burning bush and had his first encounter with the God of Israel. It was his conversion point. His first taste of the miraculous. What a place to be at! #livetogrow
7. Israel also had an encounter there. As a people, Horeb was a place of great ecstasy for them. They saw wonders there. God came down and spoke! Can you imagine hearing the voice of God? That would be a place to stay. #dontgiveup
8. In fact, Moses and other leaders had unbelievable encounters there, too. Horeb was an unbelievable experience for these people. They saw God, ate with him, and drank with him. Frankly, that's super cool. Why would I want to leave a place where I can party with God? #livetogrow
9. Horeb was a place of ecstasy. It is always difficult to leave such places. The emotions are so good that you want them to continue. So, you cannot leave our place of encounter because of pleasant feelings and memories. #uganda #trump #ripdele @NDBCVI
10. If you wish to make progress this year, perhaps you need to ask what represents your place of encounter. What is your Horeb? Horeb is a metaphor for this. @NDBCVI @MAgbogidi @BabajideOtitoju @kskadeyemi #macaroni #kukah #tundeednut #depression
11. Second, Horeb also represents Elevation. Many people never advance because of an experience of increase. They have tasted some promotion or lifting. So they become satisfied. @Eromski @gamtheprof @Bams_Jnr @fiyin4God
12. Israelites had to love Horeb. People were blessed there. Some got gifts. Others received appointments. Benefits just poured out. It was a place for expansion. No one likes to leave a place were blessings flow easily. @YouthsLagos @eshema @ladytiffs_ @NDBCVI #growthmentality
13. Horeb represents the same thing today for many of us. It is that increase. It is that place where we have had success. Horeb is the place of testimonies. Sadly, for some, success becomes a stumbling block. Victory becomes a vice. @sola_ff @iofatoki @okbabarinde @dejitula
14. What success stories have become your sacred staircase? What victories have become your absolute pride? What achievement has become your pinnacle? @AigBlessed @OluwasesanOmob2 @Prettytosyn2 @Bankey67 @AllwellSuzzy #Growth #moveon
15. Third, Horeb is also a reminder of ERROR. It is the place where we have missed the mark. A point of failure that we cannot seem to forget. Horeb is like a memorial of regret that we continually go back to. @assetade @AdetoyeMark @Blessed_Tolu @DjouphLom
16. Horeb was a place of pain. You see, at Horeb, Israel went into idolatry. They offended God. Israel lost favour with their defender and deliverer. As a result, disaster came upon them. Horeb is a place of sorrow and sadness that many appear unable to move away from. @NDBCVI
16. Loved ones died. Death filled the air. Dancing turned into mourning. Singing into wailing. Laughter gave way to lamentation. Horeb was a place of disaster too. Horeb turned sour. Worse, some of us build memorials for this purpose that we cling to. @DedeSelepri @AminaOladayo
17. We dwell in it, sleep on it, and go back always. It becomes an excuse for not trying again. It becomes the reason for falling into hopelessness and despair. More painful, it triggers depression and opens the door to mental health issues. @NDBCVI @ModupeolaArinad #ripdele
18. To advance, you must look beyond your failure. Start afresh. Begin from scratch if you have to. Eat the humble pie. It will not kill you. Admit your error. It is better than staying in the place of stagnation. @Gen_protocol @olatundeajala @Bookieblaq
19. Many will not advance because they cannot leave the cemetery where their loved ones are buried. Abraham knew he needed to bury the dead to go on. If you keep thinking about loss, you may not be able to move on. @KAYFASH85 @onechucx @supakaz @UncleBokun
20. To advance, you must release your hurt. Release your anger. Forgive yourself. Accept forgiveness. Embrace healing.
Advance, today, this week, this month, every month, and throughout the year. Refuse to stay in the dark. Launch out into the light. @kskadeyemi @HenshawKate
21. What has been my error? What blunders have I committed? What mistakes are holding me back? I insist that I am advancing. Nothing is going to stop me. @afolake26 @impacttoyin @Favouredayo @Helijah_ @tim_kunat @NDBCVI @Samdangson #failforward
22. So join me this evening at 6.30pm. I will speak about how to go forward in the face of challenges. No matter what the enemy does, 2021 is a growth year! @NDBCVI @Iremide @oshin_uncolonzd @itsladeji @fiyin4God @olaballo @dacious @mosope_pearl @UncleBokun #NeverGiveUp

We are all products of our own environments. Our environments shape our character, our personality, our habits, our identity.

The environment that Ousmane Dembélé grew up in and the environment that FC Barcelona seeks to engulf its youngsters with could not be more different.

The Great Gatsby starts with a life lesson.

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."

Ousmane hasn’t had the advantages that La Masia youngsters have had. That’s why he’s Ousmane.

Like every La Masia youngster, Ousmane grew up with a dream: playing for Barça.

Like every youngster, he fought to stand out amid a talented group of players, the majority of which would fail to go pro.

However, his football education was the polar opposite to that of La Masia.

Ousmane did not reside in one of the most expensive academies in Europe: he lived in a low-cost public housing unit in Normandy. He did not play in the well-trimmed pitches of La Masia, he played in the concrete jungles of Évreux. These disadvantages made him the man he is today.

While street soccer encourages individuality & creative freedom, academy-based training like La Masia encourages unselfishness & teamwork.

That’s why Barça produce certain types of 20-year-olds like a factory line. It’s also why Barça spent €145m on a 20-year-old Ousmane.

LET’S TALK ABOUT RELOCATING TO CANADA AND HOW TO APPLY FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE (PR) IN 2021.

Are you interested in relocating to Canada and don't know where to start from? No worries, this tweet is for you.

A THREAD! 👇

I was supposed to make this post before now but I had to do extensive research and verify its authenticity before posting.

Stay with me...

One of the reoccurring topics in Nigeria today is how to ‘Japa’ (Move away) from Nigeria.

The question that comes to mind are:
> How do I go about it?
>What is the process like?
>Is there a seamless way to go about it?

First thing you must know is that from 2021 to 2023, Canada will welcome more than one million new immigrants! Yayyy!!! Good news abi??

I really do not blame anyone who decide to ‘japa’...

Do you know the benefits that accrues to one becoming a permanent resident in Canada?
Let me share them with you.

1. You can live and work anywhere in Canada. Yeah! Anywhere. Permanent Residents are not tied to a specific employer or a specific province...

Oh are we talking about Sheryl Sandberg again? Well, your reminder that disabled feminists, LGBQT feminists, and feminists of color criticised her ‘lean in’ deal from day one. Don’t let anyone retcon that out of existence.

Like, a pretty narrow slice of feminists actually endorse and support corporate feminism, they’re just white, nondisabled, straight, cis, and noisy so their voices have a bigger reach.

So if your impression is that ‘feminism’ gave her a ‘free pass’ maybe you should question your overall impression of feminism rather than continuing to centre a handful of people as ‘thought leaders’ or whatever.

Critics within feminism have been doing this work for a long time and have been getting shat on it for about as long and I'm tired of seeing them erased. But what do I know — I am, after all, not a feminist.

But I WILL say, from my not-a-feminist perspective, that people who aren’t feminists who are criticising feminism should maybe understand the movement more deeply beyond a handful of high profile celebrity feminists.

Recently heard the podcast by @sikhyaent on Saravana Bhavan founder P Rajagopal, who stalked the young daughter of an employee & had her husband killed. Observations: the podcast's title ('Dosa King') glorifies PR, the script trivialises his crime, calling it a mere "scandal"

It refers to the whole stalking and murder episode as something that led to Rajagopal's "fall" - i.e a story of crime against a woman is turned into a story about the impact of the said crime on its perpetrator, not its victim.

It refers to the stalking victim as a fit antagonist for the protagonist Rajagopal, as Rajagopal's nemesis. But the point is, she set out to be neither. She didn't make him part of her life story. He forcibly, violently disrupted her life.

The podcast ends by telling us how Rajagopal's employees and friends and many others abuse the woman he stalked, for pursuing the case of her husband's murder and bringing Rajagopal to justice. It also tells us that some admire her. And it "asks us to decide" where we stand

I find it disturbing that a story of a powerful man feeling entitled to ruin a woman's life & trying to get away with murder, is turned into a story of HIS "rise, popularity, and fall".

1/People I know on the Right tend to be obsessed with the idea of "crimethink", taboos, and the (supposedly) oppressive, omnipresent enforcement of liberal cultural norms.

Why?

My new theory: A lot of it is guilt.

2/It's true that in some circles - the media, universities, many big corporations - liberal norms *are* enforced to some degree, and the enforcement has probably gotten stronger in recent years.

But I don't think this explains all of the Right's obsession.

3/The stereotype is that people on the Right tend to be more threat-sensitive. That would help explain the perception that liberal norm-enforcers are lurking everywhere, ready to pounce and anathematize anyone who makes a misstep.

But I don't think that's all of it either.

4/And of course, it's always fun - whether you're on the Right or the Left, or playing a video game, or whatever - to style yourself as the brave iconoclastic rebel fighting against the oppressive forces of blah blah blah.

But I don't think this is all of it, either.

5/The reason I think it's more than these things is that even *in private*, people on the Right express their "crimethink" ideas very gingerly and hesitantly.

I get the sense that they're not just afraid of external censure, but have also internalized liberal norms.

SRI SWETHA VINAYAGAR, THIRUVALANCHUZHI, KUMBAKONAM
(TN)
#bharatmandir

While main deity is Shiva as Kapartheeswarar, the kshetram is famous for Ganesha, known as Swetha/Vellai Vinayagar (white Vinayak)

During samudra manthan, Vasuki snake (used as rope) started spewing venom.


Unable to bear the intense heat, Devas rushed to Siva. He told them that this was because the task was started without getting Ganesha’s approval.
So the Devas created a Ganesha murti from white sea foam and worshipped it.
It was later taken by Indra to Indralok.
@GunduHuDuGa


But once Indra had to come to Earth to pray to Shiva to seek relief from a curse inflicted on him. So he brought the murti of Ganesha with him. When he came here, he wanted to take bath before puja. So he gave the murti to a boy to hold for sometime. The boy was actually Shiva.


He kept the murti down and vanished. Indra could not lift it again and a divine voice told him to let Vinayagar stay there and visit every Ganesh Chaturthi to pray.
Since Vinayagar is made of foam, no abhishekam is done here. Only punugu is applied n camphor powder is sprinkled

Speech Delay is most common in children nowadays

In ancient times, our grandparents used to follow typical natural way of caring the needs of a child. All they used were more of natural products than chemical based for the growth of child.


One of major step followed was to feed Gurbach Jadd/ Vasa Kommu/ Acorus Calamus for initiating good speech ability in a child. This stem was needed to babies on Tuesdays and Sundays in mother's milk.

Vasa is feed to baby after the 1st bath on 12th day in week. Weekly only thrice it is fed and named as :

Budhwar - Budhi Vasa
Mangalwar - Vaak Vasa
Ravi Vaar - Aayush Vasa

This stem is burnt and rubbed against the grinding stone in mother's milk or warm water to get a paste


The procedure to make it is in the link

https://t.co/uo4sGp7mUm

It should not be given daily to the child. Other main benefits are

1. It clears the phlegm in child's throat caused due to continuous milk intake. It clears the tracts and breathing is effortless.
2. Digestion

For children who haven't got their speech and is delayed than usual should feed this vasa on these days in week atleast for 6months. Don't get carried away with this dialogue
"Some gain speech little late"

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."
