THEY OWE US SO MUCH RESPECT

Below are 13 ways Nigeria helped South Africa in their struggle against Aparthied in case they seem to have forgotten;

1.) Nigeria set up the National Committee Against Apartheid (NACAP) in 1960.

2.) The late Sunny Okosun composed a song called “Fire in Soweto” in 1977 to show support for the fight against apartheid

3.) From 1966, Nigeria gave material and financial support to the freedom fighters in South Africa

4.) Then Nigeria’s Prime Minister, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa sent letter to South Africa’s ANC militants on April 4, 1961 showing support for their cause.

5.) Nigeria provided $5 million to the ANC and the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) annually.

6.) In 1976, Nigeria set up the Southern Africa Relief Fund (SAFR) for the purpose of bringing relief materials to the victims of the apartheid

7.) The military administration of General Olusegun Obasanjo contributed $3.7 million to the fund and General Olusegun Obasanjo personally donated $3,000 to the fund.

8.) All Nigeria’s civil servants and public officers made a 2% donation from their monthly salary to the SAFR.

9.) Nigerian students skipped their lunch to make donations, and by June 1977, the total contribution to the fund had reached $10.5 million. The donations to the SAFR were widely known in Nigeria as the “Mandela tax”

10.) Between 1973 and 1978, Nigeria contributed $39,040 to the UN Educational and Training Programme for South Africa

11.) Nigeria boycotted the 1976 Olympics and Commonwealth games in 1979 as part of our protest against apartheid in South Africa

12.) From 1960 to 1995, Nigeria spent over $61 billion to support the end of apartheid, more than any other country in the world.

13.) Nigeria refused to sell oil to South Africa in protest against the white minority rule. Nigeria lost approximately $41 billion then. $41billion dollars. Remember this was our oil boom moment. As long as we fought apartheid, the money meant nothing. This are the same stupid black fools that are killing our people.

#Infact they owe soo much Respect#

HATRED

THE COST OF HATRED

I never knew it was that costly,
I wanted to know the cost of hatred, then decided to branch a shop where it's being sold.
As a good businessman who was looking for a buyer, he rushed out to ask what I wanted;  I told him I wanted just a cup of hatred,  and then he smiled and asked if I can afford it.  'how much does a cup cost?' I asked? Hmmmmm, he took in a deep breath,
then started, 
i. it will first of all take away your inner peace
ii. it will cost you incurable worries
iii. it will eat up your heart
iv. you will be deeply bitter whenever you set your eyes on the person you hate
v. when others are celebrating him/her you will always be looking for why he/she doesn't deserve it
vi. you will become so weak and tired of seeing the person
vii. whenever he /she laughs, you will cry
viii. while others are busy planning their future, you will be busy looking for how to pull him/her down
ix. The Spirit of God will leave you and you will become the temple of devil where demons reside.
x. you will die before your time and go to hell.

The seller was still counting what a cup of hatred will cost me when I shunned him,  realizing how expensive hatred is.
I left because I knew deep down I could not afford it.
I refuse to pay such a huge amount when I can love cheaply.

Brethren, don't allow anybody sell hatred to you so exorbitantly when you can love so easily and cheaply.

SAMSON

WHO KILLED SAMSON?

--Delilah or the Philistines?
--None of these options is correct.
--Permit me to tell you how.
--Even if there were 10,000 Philistine soldiers, they couldn't have defeated Samson.
--Do you know why? Samson's strength was not of this world; it was divine.
--As long as no one can defeat GOD, no army could have defeated Samson no matter how strong or how many.
--Samson was raised a terror for the Philistines. He killed a lion with his bare hands, lifted the gate of a city on his shoulder and walked over 46miles; he killed 300 Philistines soldiers with a jaw bone.
--What if he got a spear or sword?
--So, who killed Samson? The answer is Samson.
--Yes! Samson killed himself!
◇◆A man is his greatest enemy.
◆◇What an enemy cannot do to a man, he would do to himself.
◆◇Samson killed himself.
◆◇He delivered himself to the lap of Delilah and used his own mouth to tell the secret of his power.
--His life promised so much but delivered so little
--The Bible says in Proverbs, Chapter 19 Verse 3:
"The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord."
--Nobody can ruin your life except you do with your own hands.
--Although you can blame it on GOD or parents or government, you're the architect of your life; you are your greatest enemy.
--Even if your grandparents had done any evil, until you press the trigger it won't explode on your face
--No Satan or witch has the power to destroy you no matter how much they hate you, you're the only one who can kill yourself by your actions
--When the enemies try in vain to kill you, they lie in wait and allow you to kill yourself by your actions.
》》Goliath the champion couldn't hurt David but adultery destroyed his family.
》》The Gentile nations couldn't hurt Moses, but anger killed him.
》》When King Jeroboam stretched his hand against the prophet, his hand dried up. He couldn't hurt him, but his own disobedience turned him to a prey for a lion.
--Your greatest enemy isn't outside there, it's in you!
◆◆Millions are killing themselves with their own mouth by what they eat and drink.
◆◆Millions die of sexually transmitted diseases every year.
◇◆Would you blame a witch for that?
◆◆Hundreds of thousands of divorce and breakup happen every year because people destroy their
own marriages and homes with their own hands.
--Like Proverbs 14:1 says "Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
--If you fail, don't look far away, look inwards because what's killing you is inside of you.
--What you yield yourself to will either kill or save you.
--If you continue yielding yourself to fornication, that's what will kill you both SPIRITUALLY or PHYSICALLY
--Everyone has a seed of sin deposited in him through his Adamic nature.
》》True repentance kills that seed but if you don't kill that anger, pride, jealousy, greed, lust, it won't just kill you in the future, it might have been killing you already.
》》That's why no matter how much people die of cancer and diabetics people won't stop smoking and drinking because a man signs his
own death warrant
◆◇Kill that seed before it kills you.
◆◇Quit that habit, now! Because your greatest enemy isn't a man or a spirit or Satan but you.
YES, YOU!
BLESS SOMEONE WITH THIS MESSAGE TODAY.
I PRAY FOR THE GRACE OF GOD TO HOLD US TILL THE VERY END.

#COPIED

ALZHEIMER'S

⁉  ⁉. ⁉. ⁉. ⁉

Alzheimer's is an illness, in which memory is gradually lost. At one time he or she completely lost his /her memories. Please read it carefully. Yourself or someone in your family may be suffering this illness.
----------------------------------------
After the age of 50
one may experience
many types of illnesses.🤔
 But the one I am most worried about is Alzheimer's.
Not only would I not be able to look after myself,
but it would cause
a lot of inconveinence to family members....

One day, my son
came home and told me
 that a doctor friend
has taught him an exercise using the tongue.

The tongue exercise is effective to reduce the onset of Alzheimer's and is also useful to reduce / improve

*1* Body weight
*2* Hypertension
*3* Blood-Clot in Brain
*4* Asthma
*5* Far-sightedness
*6* Ear buzzing
*7* Throat infection
*8* Shoulder / Neck infection
*9* Insomia

The moves  are very simple and easy to learn....

Each morning, when you wash your face, in front of a mirror, do the exercise as below :

*stretch out your tongue and move it to the right then to the left for 10 times*

Since I started exercising my tongue daily,  there was improvement in my Brain Retention.

My mind was clear and fresh and there were other improvements too...

   1 Far sightedness
        lesser
   2  No giddiness
   3. Improved wellness
   4. Better digestion
   5. Lesser flu / cold

I am stronger and more agile.

🎀 Notes

The tongue exercise helps to control and prevent Alzheimer's...
Medical research has found that the tongue has connection with the BIG Brain. When our body becomes old and weak, the first sign to appear is that our tongue becomes stiff and often we tend to bite ourselves.

Frequently exercising your tongue
will stimulate the brain,
help to reduce our thoughts from shrinking and thus achieve a healthier body. Remain blessed.
