Religion / Re: Christianity Vs. Satanism by richcookie(m): 5:29pm On Sep 23, 2009
Well! Well! Well! Many confused souls.

This post will best illustrate my point:

The Control System of Religion,

This page is to hopefully Awaken some of you people out there. There are 2 types of Controls Systems in place today, Mainstream Religion and Government. Just for the Record, I am not Anti-Religion or Anti-Government. I am Anti-Corruption which exists in both of these. Plus both of these Institutions are designed to keep us in ignorance and in control. Now please understand that my Words are simply my opinions from what I have been taught by Beings of Light. Everyone has their own Truth. But a True Spiritual person has an open Mind and will listen then make their own conclusions. If you truly want to be Free, open your Hearts and your Minds. Escape the Matrix.

So on this page I will discuss Religion and the Control it has on most humans.

Religion is the the Control System that keeps us in Spiritual Ignorance. I am talking about mainstream Religions. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Wicca and all the rest. I will however say, Buddhism and Hinduism are the more Spiritual of all the Religions combined. They actually teach a Spiritual Path. But they are still filled with "Control" as they are taught by man.
Sorry if some of you get your panties in a Knot reading my words, but hear me out and you will understand what I am saying. Even if you do not agree with me, I known you will ponder upon my words.
All these Religions including New Age Religions were put in place to control us and keeps us in Spiritual ignorance. Just the fact that there are so many religions is enough to confuse anyone as to what the "Truth" is. The Religions are always fighting amongst each other as to who has the Truth. Look at the world today,
Wars being waged such as the Muslims fighting the Western Crusaders of Christianity. This has been going on for Centuries.
All these Religions have on thing in common. They all have a Sacred Book that they all follow and deem that it is the true Word of (their) God. The problem with that is these books were written by man. The even bigger problem is that they were all altered time and time again by man. For example, it is like telling a story in your office at work. By the time it gets around the whole office, it has changed. People add in their own little twist to the story and so forth. Now imagine that same story being told for over 2,000 years. You know damn well the story will be quite different if it even is the same story at all.
I would have to say that the Bible is the most distorted of all the Religious books. It has been rewritten so many times it is not even funny. Today there are a countless number of versions of the Bible. Plus there are so many Teachings of other Prophets that were taken out out of the Bible in order to hide the truth from of such as the teachings of Reincarnation and many other subjects. The worst Crime against humanity is when the Church took the Bible and changed it to a "One God System". Pick up any Bible and you will only see the word "God". No not Gods (plural) but God as in singular. The original Bible had many, many different Deities/Gods in it. So there were many Gods and Goddesses and a great Hierarchy of Beings. They also changed the real story about Jesus and why he came here. He did not come here to save us from our Sins. He came here to teach us how to escape this Matrix of Life and Reincarnations and that his returning meant the return of the Christ Consciousness in people and not his actual physical return. This is a whole other story I will soon write a page on.
So now we have a Bible in many different versions today and then we have many different versions of the Christian Religion. Once again, all of them arguing as to who is right with their views and their version of the Bible. You have the Baptists saying the Catholics are going to Hell and vise versa. This shows you just how dysfunctional these Religions are.
The fact that they teach us that we should believe what what was written in a book by man and follow their Path or suffer Eternal Damnation is such a joke. The same goes for the Islamic Religion and the Extremists. Yes, blow yourself up and kill hundreds of innocent people and you will be a Martyr rewarded with Rivers of Wine and Virgins for your pleasure, LOL. To believe such crap you truly have to be a extremely unintelligent being. Both these Religions are simply forms of Brain washing. Yes, keeping us in Spiritual Ignorance so we will never escape the Matrix. It is even worse in the Arabic Countries where there Religious beliefs are Law. This is a Control System to the extreme. Although I think the Bible is the biggest Book filled with Lies, I would have to say that Religion of Islam is the worst when it come to brainwashing people and Controlling them. Look at how they degrade women and make them cover every part of their bodies all in the name of God and Religion or kill one of their own children if they convert to Christianity. These are some seriously messed up people.
This is truly the horrible Power of Religion and Government combined.

Most of these Religions have been designed to Enslave us. The truly sad part is that these ideas are instilled in us as children. Yes we are brainwashed as a child so that when we grow up we think that this is the only Truth. Truly sad isn't it, ? You can take any child and if you taught them that Sponge Bob was God, they would grow up thinking this is the truth. The same way they are taught about Santa Claus.
Yes, even the New Age Religions are filled with lies also. I must also state that even the Grimoires of Magick are just as corrupt in their writings. Yes I have paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars collecting them just to find only a glimpse of truth in each of them. They were all intentionally altered to confuse us. Once again keeping the Truth from us. For example, many of the Demons listed in the Grimoires are not Demons. They are Gods and Goddesses. They also add numerous prayers that are ridiculously long such as those in the Key of Solomon and tell we have to fast and abstain from sex for long periods of time. Can you say, Bullshit? To follow the directions in these books one would never accomplish the intended task of Conjuring some Mighty Being from the Abyss or the Celestial Spheres. Let us not forget all the Theosophical bullshit that the pages are filled with that mean absolutely nothing to the soul searching individual. I will say however that part of the reason for this is also to keep the common idiot on the street from having powers to control Forces beyond their understanding. For such Powers in the hands of an Idiot would not be a good thing.

On the other side of the coin, Mainstream Religion is good in some aspects. For it instills a sense or Morality in us as we are growing up. It gives us a reason to be Good and Kind to others as in to Love our neighbors and so on. For I myself was raised Southern Baptist then went Non Denominational. This all gave me a sense of direction. But there came a day when I questioned all that I believed and knew that there had to be more than was written in the pages of the Bible. Thus begun my Journey of Soul Searching for the Truth.
Now when it comes to all the Religious and Occult books throughout History, they all have some Truth in them and some very valuable Truth. It is just that they have been distorted and changed. This is what makes it so hard to decipher what is the Truth and what is bullshit. I studied many Religions and read every book I could get my hands on. But even in readings books that modern man had written I found many of them to be tainted with "Filler". What I mean by that is the pages were filled with mumbo jumbo words and ideas that never really got straight to the point. It was like eating Bread all the time and never getting that juicy Steak. Give the Bread to the common simple and closed minded people, I wanted my God Damn Steak, !

If you want Truth, you only need to look inside yourself. You are God. You Body is a Temple so there is no need to go to a physical Temple/building where others meet to congregate. You only need to sit and "be still" and listen to what the Universe has to tell you along with your own God self. When it comes to wanting to know more information about who you are and why you are here, "Ask and you shall receive". Ask that the Truth be shown to you and it will be revealed. Not all at once but over time it will I promise you.

So what is my main point of all this I have said, ?
Well, read every Religious and Occult book you can get your hands on. From each of them you will retain a Grain of Truth and if you have read enough books you just might have almost a whole Cup of Truth. When you are done reading each book, sit back an contemplate on what you have read and ask yourself, does this make sense or is this more media intended for Confusion and Control.

Ask the Universe and your Spirit Guides to lead you to the Truth. Just don't expect to find it all over night. It will take years and possible a lifetime. Do not let anyone tell you this is the Truth and the only Truth. This includes your reading my own words. Ingest them, then draw your own conclusions and decipher your own Truth. If it simply just sound like it doesn't make sense, then you are using your brain and not just accepting the words you read as fact.

The Control System is about Lies, !
The Control System is about keeping you Spiritually Ignorant, !
The Control System is about Brainwashing you, !
The Control System is about Controlling you, !
The Control System is Religion, !

You do not need a Religion to be Spiritual.

Do not waist your time arguing with Religious fanatics. Let them lay in their own bed of Ignorance.

Never let anyone Control your Life.

Never let anyone Control your Spiritual Freedom.

Fight the Powers that Enslave you.

Except nothing less than Truth.

Do not dwell in Darkness. Fill yourself with Light and you will be filled with the Truth you Seek.

Be yourself, the God Being that you truly are, !

Does it really matter? When the current occupants continue the same corruption tactics. Well, I got news for my fellow Nigerians: Have patience, for the winds of justice will soon sweep all the looters into the dust bin of history. Our so called leaders forget that death is the greatest equalizer. You cannot take the money with you, neither will your kids. Let him run and run, but He will  eventually follow his father to the dustbin of history.
  My fellow Nigerians, Uplift your spirits in spite of all the hardships, for better days are coming, better days are coming. Slavery lasted over 200 yrs and was swept aside by bright lights; Hitler lasted about a decade and was defeated by bright lights. In all honesty, the ignorant, malfeasant, blood suckers called our leaders will eventually be defeated by bright lights. If in doubt, check your history and you will know that "GOOD ALWAYS DEFEATS EVIL" for it is the law of nature.

My sincere thanks to all that contributed to this thread. It just occurred to me how difficult it is to negotiate long distance for an accomodation in Nigeria. Every obstacle in my way now , is an opportunity for business ideas in the future.
I have decided to stay in an hotel for two weeks (for neutrality reasons) and then secure urgently an apartment once on the ground. Now I am checking out hotels and some have reviews out of hell! Your thoughts about known good hotels and bad ones to stay away from will be greatly appreciated.
When settled, I promise to write detail report for Nigerians abroad to follow by pointing out my mistakes (if any) and ways to make your trip less stressfull.

One with vision can create many businesses just from this thread alone. The need for clear and on time information is needed by Nigerains abroad. No real estate listing (like an MLS service). To all the real estate agents, imagine how much more income you will generate when you can look at a central database of properties for sale or for rent! Do anyone else see other businesses that can be created from this thread?

I will move around a lot the first month. By the way I have a BMW X5 2003 111,000 MILES (about how much) but i might prefer Toyota land cruiser or suv.

@richie

uhmm, many nigerians in diaspora are faced with the same challenge. Its terrible because things have gone worse than you left it several years back. It is more disturbing when you have to bring your innocent kids from a decent/working system into this environment where nothing seems certain.

as per whom to trust, german007 has given a good advice. conceal as much as possible your story. we often make that mistake when we come into a new environment. things are a lot different here because of the poverty.

you will need a suv in nigeria because the road are bad. i know americans are fuel-economy conscious.

if your family are coming with you. it may be a bit selfish not to consider the schools for your kids, your house, office, school, market, recreation should be within a distance of 15minutes drive (that may take 2hours sometimes in traffic for 9ja). there are good schools in nigeria but consider proximity.

certain areas of the state are bad for drainage, many people suggested the GRAs, some of them are not having a good drainage system, always look out for that, some well designed estates are better. some of the GRAs too are fast becoming commercial than residential. you wouldnt want to be neighbours with a nite club, pub or even a bank for security reasons. owners are fast selling to relocate to newer estates where serenity and private life is preserved.

i started working for people relocating back home early this year with a few results in abuja and lagos. will be willing to render our services to you. be free to call me on 07040298808. thanks!

Thanks. Actually, coming alone. In all that crazyness, Nigeria has wealth. Imagine the businesses that are making it. Luckily, 'OYINBO' MAN has given me some unique talents that will come in handy for my survival. I hold no illusions as to the conditions of many nigerians and the negative pysche of the country as a whole. I am an optimist and generally gravitate to successful people because after all, "if you want to be rich have some rich friends"

My sincere thanks to those on the ground and I trully do appreciate your wise advice. I have learned a great deal!

Lol I like that phrase "salivating your pocket". One thing I figured out is that, when you do settle, Its best to settle somewhere a bit far from the area you grew up in before you left for the states.

Like I said earlier, live somewhere no one knows about you, how long u'v been away for , or where you'v been all this years. Its keeps you more in focus and keep prying eyes away from you.

Good luck.

In Ikeja GRA,a tastefully finished 5 beroom with BQ detached house goes for between N120m to N150M,a semi detached may go for N80m to N100.While 3 bedrooms flat in a block of flats goes for N35m to 40m depend on the finishing.
NB :All prices are always Neg when the landlord get a serious buyer.Ikeja GRA is the most costly area in the mainland.

Thanks for the info. For security reasons I will cross check everything when on the ground in Nigeria. Until I know whom to trust, I am using confusion tactics ( no one knows the whole story). It is a sad way to start with relatives, but some are salivating on how to get into my pocket. Most will be suprised because I am not the little kid that left to america. I am considering free one week housing in lekki, V Island. By the 4th week I should have an idea of the best area and start hiring my crew.
Foreign Affairs / Re: Nigerian-Yoruba Criminal Gangs In America Busted Yet Again by richcookie(m): 2:08pm On Sep 10, 2009
To
    Aloy~Emeka,
                        I am not saying Nigerians should do 419, but the leaders should implement a department that handles national security issues by all means necessary. Put me in Abuja for just 3yrs and some of our problems will be a thing of the past. ( I am not political, just good ideas)

1st  we stop all united nations aid program because they're used as a form of control. show me one country that became advanced with united nations programs. Most of the give aways are carefully setup to sabotage the recipient country industries.

2nd  The issue of electricity is simple. We should partner with an american company like CON-EDISION. ( IT IS WISE TO INVITE DEVELOPMENT FOR INFRACSTRUCTURE IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD). We have many ways to go to create light. Solar is emerging as a viable technology ( I would spy, bribe and acquire this technology for our growth). No more excuses after 49 yrs of independence

3rd  We must embark with immediate effect on producing our own guns, tanks and other defensive and offensive weapons. We can not be free when we don't even produce common bullets. Most "Oyinbo" pray to God but have the best killing machines in whole world.

4th Viciously eliminate bribery and corruption because that is how 'Oyinbos' controls us. Nigerians will follow when examples by the leaders can be seen, after all the tail only follows the head.

5th Create proper rule of law that should apply to every body. No country can progress unless justice is implemented in an impartial manner.

Not to digress from the main post, The only crimes are by Nigerain leaders that lack foresight, genuine planning, no love of fellow nigerians, pure looting of the treasury, and mental shackles imposed by outside agents in various disguises. Compared to other countries Nigerians are saints when it comes to criminal deeds. If you disagree, then you need a good education on our history and how we became a weakling instead of a giant Nation.
Foreign Affairs / Re: Nigerian-Yoruba Criminal Gangs In America Busted Yet Again by richcookie(m): 3:40am On Sep 10, 2009
I have been in Yankee for over 27 yrs and I am not suprised any more. Most Nigerians think this is back home. Some believe bribery, voodoo will help them when caught. The american law enforcement is very good at catching people. In america everything you do leaves a paper trail. The punishment for this kind of crime just got very severe. The defendents should do at least 5 to 10 yrs and then automatically deported unless a citizen.
    The Secret service, which is responsible for guiding the president, is also in charge of  printing fake money fraud, credit card fraud and identity theft when used to apply for credit card. I can tell you from experience, the secret service has many Nigerian agents that speak all dialects. The Nigerian agents will blend in and identify known culprits by sometimes participating in the crime.
   Personally, I try not to blame anyone in regards to how you earn your dough, but try to use common sense. I have friends that did not know when to quit and now serving hard times in prison. "Oyinbo" man is the worst crook of all. Just imagine how they colonized africa with the bible, enslaved us, slaughtered hundreds of millions of our fore fathers and continue to still rule Africa by remote control.
    To most of you that shout Nigerians are crooks in America, you have no idea what you're talking about. All ethnic groups do crime:

chinese and Koreans ( into smuggling fake goods, money laundering, drug trafficking, human trafficking, contract killings etc

Italians ( real organized thieves, union thuggery, fake credit cards manufacturers, best contract killers, truck hijacking, major drug smugglers, loan sharks, mortgage fraud

Irish groups (Political crooks, govt. control, have support in most law enforcement groups, smuggling, contract killers, industry hijackers, remote control of whole countries, major major dope smugglers, best currency counterfeiters

Jamaicans: (known killers,  drug smugglers, human traffickers, home invasion crooks

Mexicans: ( vicious contract killers, large quantity drug smugglers, major money launderers, political thuggery

Colombians: ( known contract killers (usually all family members), major drug distributors, money launderers, weapons distributors

Europeans: ( best bribe givers, control of major countries by remote control, best secret societies, best mental science practitioners ( also called voodoo), wholesale killings, best marketers of killing devices, run most African countries including Nigeria by remote control, very efficient contract killers.

The Arabs: ( Vicious killers in the name of allah, known smugglers, pirates, gun runners, weapon traders, big time drug pushers, modern day slave owners

The Jews: (The best organized of all, Very corrupt crooks, major usurpers of all nations including the USA, Incredible practitioners of mind mental science ( also called voodoo), weapons manufacturers and dealers, best intelligence agency in the whole world, 1st class counterfeiters, known contract killers, masters at starting wars mostly in africa to enhance political agender, 419 masters, money worshippers , have tenacles of control in all major industries in the world, WILL STEAL, MURDER AND ROB OTHER NATIONS FOR THE STATE OF ISREAL. The best leeches of all and the group Nigerian leaders should emulate.

Do you need more? So please stop complaining about Nigerians and crime. Our only fault is not committing crimes to help our people progress like the jews, europeans and chinese do. Our leaders are busy begging for aid, forgetting that a blessed country in natural resources like Nigeria should not beg but have a plan to spy, steal and copy technologies to move our  nation forward.

To all you pretenders of high moral standards becarefull how you point fingers because some are pointing back at you. As far as crime goes Nigerians are petty, crude and in nursery school as far as crime is concerned. All the above named groups have govt. sanctioned criminals that help and benefit the country. If in doubt, then go back and read your history to realize the bastardly way we've been duped, conned, brainwashed, mentally shackled and  remotely controlled.

You have to think carefully about who wears the pants in your household. Has she turned you into the female instead of the male? Part of been a man of the house is providing for your family with adequate input from your wife. Do you have visions for the future or just accepting your fate as sealed by God. When you show good common sense with money,then salary issues should not be fully discussed. If she earns more than you, you have my sincere goodluck on how long you stay married and what role you play.

Be carefull how you surrender that salary info because next will come the distribution method. Women by nature want to be in charge and guys by nature think they are in charge.

Very Interesting indeed.

I Lived in London for 8 yrs. Left at the age of 22. Just like you took me 4 yrs to get legit. "Had to get married relatively young so I could get legit". And I tell you what bro. Iv never for once regretted doing so. I finnaly came home just this year to settle and get my self established, that was after completing two degrees. Im currently into importing and selling automobiles from EU Countries , I sell them here in Nigeria and I'm also a registered Car Trader in London . My main aim is to open up a Car dealership here in Nigeria very soon.

I made a self conscious decision never to work for anyone ever again, and to be my own boss. Not having to report myself to anyone.

My advice to you is to be careful of those who you think are your friends, Even people you think you can trust in your family. Be careful. Its best to deal with people who dont know much about you, (where uv been, what u've been thru , how much you have)
Keep your focus on your plans here and what you'r coming here to do, Dont get distracted. And be very careful of people you deal with. Because to the, You'r a foreigner (even though we both know you'r not) And they assume Euro,s dollars and pounds grow on the streets on Europe and America



Good Luck Brother.

Thanks for your good advice. The worst betrayers are those very close family members. One of my "blood" elder brother I sponsored to America played me well. You know,I will be attending a function in NEW YORK in MIDDLE Oct 2009 and the keynote speaker will be the Lagos state governor. How is he doing? I have heard some good things about him. Apart from the rosy picture he will paint about Lagos, what other issues should we press him about?
Well not to digress, I am looking through several real estate agents sent by some people in the know. I must confess some of the agents are acting like pure crooks b4 we do any deal.

@Richcookie.

Hang on a minute bros, on a second thought, "27 years? phew.
You have been away for a long long long time. How did u manage that?, How old were you when you left? and how comes you stayed away for so long. Pardon me asking. I was away for 8yrs and only came home once. Took me a few months to re-adjust. I reckon you might find it a bit hard innitially but eventually you'l re-adjust.

Actually, came to America in my early teens. Took a decade to get legit (paper wise). Set up several businesses and kids and then travelling became an issue. The business opportunity I am coming home for is so huge. The big players keep very quiet. Trust me I will be prepared for known and unknown contingencies. I am aware of the 419 issues and security problems. Pardon my asking, what business are you into "german007"

I think one of the key criteria should be the distance that you are prepared to travel back and forth from your place of residence to the places your business will be taking you. This criteria alone if not well thought-off/considered will frustrate you having to be stuck in traffic.

Traffic congestion in those areas is too too much

Properties / Best Place To Live In Lagos? Need Your Opinion(abroad 27yrs) by richcookie(m): 11:46pm On Sep 06, 2009
Hello,
I need sincere opinions as to the best location to stay in lagos.

I left Nigeria 27 years ago and have now decided to come home for lucrative business reasons. I have some reliable friends but I like to do my own research. Apart from the usual areas IKOYI, V/ISLAND, BANANA ISLAND, what other areas would you recommend. My needs are:

At least 3 bedrooms

Suitable kitchen with gas pipe in ( just turn on stove and cook)

Adequate water supply

garage

And very secure.

I am open to reasonable prices.

Your candid views about renting or buying will be greatly appreciated. My anticipated arrival date is late November or early December 2009

Wake up! and smell the roses! Why in Gods name would you work for a company that does not pay you? How do you get to work? No excuses! Just quit after one month and most unpaying company will shut down. Have you also noticed the rampant attitude of most Nigerian workers "looking for quick payday". If you feel abused then setup your own business. Stop the fear and take a chance for once!

Most fail to understand that organized religion is just that - organized. Christians believe unless you take Jesus as your saviour you will burn in hell. Meanwhile muslims believe unless you follow Mohammed you will burn in hell. Who is right and who is wrong. Use your brain. Each human was created with unique powers. Fear and some of the food we eat prevents us from bringing these powers to light. The Air you breathe in is very powerful if you know certain exercises. Be very wary of all Dogmas that seek to rub you of your will power. The key to getting what you want, is to know exactly what you want. Do this and you will double your income:

Write this statement 20 times every day for 30 days and you will double your income.

"I am now highly pleasing to myself in the presence of other people"

This has nothing to do with dark forces ( which do exist) but writing it down 20 times daily will correct some of the negative forces around you. Please don't request for how I know it will work for you because that will require further explanation and it will be very rude of me to hijack the original posters thread. Just my contribution to this amazing desire to make more money.

Goodluck!

Why do Nigerains have short memory? REmember the war against corruption by Obasanjo. When will we learn to have rule of law? Owing money should be a civil matter not criminal, just like in the west that we admire so much. if you lend me money and I can not pay, does that make me a criminal?
