Yesterday, as at 08:00am-09:00am, I left the residence of a family member and something pathetic happened when I was about getting home.
I was on a street closer to the junction when I suddenly heard a heavy sound. I ran towards the junction in few seconds and saw people...

 gathered around a MAN. He just had an accident.

This man, who looks in his early, mid or late forties is soaked in blood. His right eyeball is almost entirely out of its SEAT, his nose isn't clearly seen because thick blood had drenched it, half his head was full of blood...
& more kept gushing off his head towards the ground. This MAN'S left leg has broken and his wrist crushed and was bruised too.
When I got to this place, over 60-100 humans gathered around him and began pitying him. The MAN roared, "please, I need water, I need water, I'm dying"..
Blood kept gushing off his head.
The statement he made echoed into me when I got there. I ran Helter skelter in search of water and luckily I got. I was about fetching it when those who I met gathering around the man shouted, "NOBODY should give him water, it's dangerous for...
...him." I dropped the bowl, I was perplexed!
I ran towards him, now, he's soaked in blood, the ground was well soaked too. The MAN began, "I'm dying, someone should please help me, I'm dying, don't watch me please, please, this is, please..."
I didn't make him finish his mixed..
...utterances, I neared him and people kept watching and "pitying" him.
I shouted, "Please, the hospital is just close by, let's carry him, please, he's a human, he's dying, we can't keep watching, please!"
I swear, no one answered!
They were over 50 persons. Car drivers...
...stopped by to "WATCH" & say "HEY YA". People kept watching. I kept shouting as I watched the man die slowly...slowly...he was passing his last breathe presumably I thought.
"Please people, I can't carry him alone." I've tried, but he was too heavy. He's not extremely fat...
...fat but he's too huge for me to lift. I kept shouting, "stop watching him, let's carry him, come, bros, please, come, please, I can't carry him alone." When no one answered, I felt the need to speak with some Northern guys (they were speaking Hausa) who were present, "mallam..
Dan Allah, let's carry him, Dan Allah mallam, please, he's dying, Dan Allah." They were about 7-10 in numbers, one of them wanted to come but people kept whispering to him, so, he murmured some words I do not understand and stayed back.
I went to meet the man. He said, "pick my..
phone, call my last dialed number and tell him what happened." His voice was slowly leaving him but, something remained in his voice; the call for help. He doesn't keep mum. He kept saying it, "I'm dying, you people are watching me, please help me." I dialed the number and one...
woman, who I would always pray to have as a guardian angel, came out of the crowd with a wrapper tied to her waist, joined me, took the man's phone and started making phone calls.
The man faintly kept mentioning names of people we can call. I called two persons before handling...
the phone to this woman, a mother, a humanitarian. A real HUMAN.

We became two and with this MAN. We were three, seeking for help, "let's carry him, he's dying." I heard responses that shows 90% of us are just humans physically but not internally.

Some said...
"does he know him?" Others said, "his blood will stain my clothe, I don't want to touch him." This time, I was soaked in blood too.
I hurried towards the man again, tried lifting him but I couldn't. Then, I saw one man I know. I shouted, "please Alfa, come, don't let us watch...
"please Alfa, come, don't let us watch him, he's dying." Alfa came, joined us. So, I, Alfa, and this Woman tried lifting him, we couldn't because some parts of his body, leg especially, was broken and must be handled with care.

Then, when some men saw what was going on, they...
they came and kept shouting, "carry him now" without joining us. They were huge, had the body of people who gym a lot.

Suddenly, a young man joined us, then, we lifted the man towards the nearest clinic. Meanwhile, nobody was willing to help with their car/motorcycle...
So, we kept walking and the man was dying. Blood was still gushing out. When I noticed I couldn't lift him any longer, I was carrying him from the buttocks, it weighed me down. I dropped him, ran towards the hospital, spoke with the Doctor who was dressed in a celestial church...
a Christ white gown and about leaving for church. Remember, this happened yesterday (Sun, December 20, 2020). The Doctor dropped off her car and ordered the nurses on duty to bring a wheelchair.
The nurse was still "driving" the wheelchair when I dashed into the hospital...
collected the wheelchair and carried it instead of "driving." I carried it to where the man was and we lifted him on the wheelchair. This time, the nurses, who work at Krownfits Hospital at Odo-eran Iyana Iyesi Ota Ogun State joined in the help too.
We wheeled him towards the...
hospital but before getting there, he fell off the wheelchair and shouted, "e Joo, monku ni bayi." (Please, I'm dying right now). We helped him on the wheelchair again and luckily, he found his way into the hospital. When the Doctor, a woman I'd forever respect, began cleaning...
him with wool, she never minded her white garment. She was there to "save a life." She didn't ask us of money like others do. She didn't ask for anything but only dropped off her car, ordered a wheelchair be released, and said we should put him on a bed.
When the cleaning began..
this man's nose was shattered into pieces and his right eye is currently "unwordable" about. I watched him and how the treatment went down. He was worried, so, I kept telling him, "sir, you'd be fine, I'm hopeful, you'd be fine, you are being attended to."
I asked the Doctor...
if I can take my leave, she said, "you can still wait". I did for some minutes but, together with those we wheeled him in left the ward, except that woman handling the man's phone. She repeatedly kept calling different persons the man named earlier.
So, I went to where water...
was in the hospital and washed myself, my hands most especially. I met with those who joined me and another conversation ensued.
They said it's not like they don't want to help but, in Nigeria, things might be turned to affect those who help. I told them, "no matter what, help...
please, anything else will be settled later, save a life."

So, I left for the accident scene and the "WATCHERS" & "HEY YA" people had reduced in number and they kept saying, "you saved the man, you saved his life o." As I heard this, if I had gun on me, I honestly may lose...
control.

I walked to the man, whose car crashed with the man's motorcycle (I don't know how it happened), and kept staring at him. I don't know why he didn't help when we were trying to rush the man to the hospital. Only God knows what was on his mind. He just kept staring at...
his car and said, "my tyre was burst and I've parked it before it happened."

I left the place and honestly, I was traumatized. When I got home, I soaked my clothe and couldn't sit for a long time. I had a running tummy and left for the toilet. When I returned, my mum said...
something, "it's how Nigeria is, please, be careful of helping people, only God will help us in this country." After thinking about it very well, mum said, "go and check on the man later."

So, towards the evening, I was at the hospital with my cousin brother (Abdulbaki Musa)...
who I have summarized the tragic incident with. We were directed to a different ward and therein, We saw him, sleeping. His wife and about three family members (I presume) were there and kept kneeling in appreciation of what we did for the man. A nurse had told them earlier...
that those that brought him here are here to greet him."
So, dear Readers, I'm here writing this and at the same time thinking about several other things. I'd repeat what I said about 3-4months ago, "when something happens, especially tragic things, don't watch/take pictures,...
take action, save the life(ves) first." Don't feel less concerned, be very well concerned. Please, let's be humane at all times. It might just be YOU.

I just hope this man becomes fine at the end of it all. I don't know if there's anything else WE CAN ALL DO TO HELP HIM. The...
wife looked helpless. The family members too. Idris Abdulrahman Omeiza is writing from Ogun State...

Honestly, I feel like going there to greet the man today being 21st of December (Monday) 2020 but, If there's anything WE CAN DO TO HELP HIM, I'D BE GLAD. You can reach out to me on 08108045957.
Kindly retweet aggressively please!!!
I'd update you all on what goes down. Trust ME!

The numbers on their face for the @FCC RDOF auction are exciting - lots of Gigabit winners. But it’s important to remember the job is just starting. These rural areas don’t magically get Gig today or tomorrow. 1/

The job is only done and the celebration can really only begin once we see that rural Americans are actually going to get the broadband they’ve been promised. 2/

And that’s the rub here - at least from preliminary indications, there are LOTS of question marks clearly hanging out there once you look past the gloss and proclamations. And since we won’t know for maybe 5 years if it worked, due diligence is essential now. 3/

A number of big winners have offered some service but never done Gig. This would be like giving hundreds of millions of $ to firms that have repaved residential streets to now design & build our interstate highway bridges. 4/

A number of big winners are using tech that has done Gig (maybe) only in tightly controlled applications that don’t look anything like rural America. This would be like giving interstate highway $ to firms who’ve built lots of scale models but never actually built a bridge. 5/

1/OK, I should really write another thread about university-centric regional development, because I think people often make some (very understandable) mistakes when thinking about this issue.

2/The biggest myth, I think, is that universities help regions by educating locals as undergraduates.

Skeptics of universities say: "But most of the people who graduate end up leaving."

3/In fact, most of what a university does for a regional economy is NOT about educating local kids.

Educating local kids is good for the nation, but doesn't help a region much.

The way a university helps a region is through

4/Undergraduates usually leave town after graduation.

But university RESEARCH pulls in OTHER smart people from other regions, and they stay there.

Here's a paper showing that this is the main way universities increase a region's human capital:

5/Research also pulls in business investment.

Companies want to partner with university labs, so they can commercialize the technologies the labs produce. So they invest in the labs, and sometimes they even put their offices in the town.

We finally have the U.S. Citizenship Act Bill Text! I'm going to go through some portions of the bill right now and highlight some of the major changes and improvements that it would make to our immigration system.

Thread:


First the Bill makes a series of promises changes to the way we talk about immigrants and immigration law.

Gone would be the term "alien" and in its place is "noncitizen."

Also gone would be the term "alienage," replaced with "noncitizenship."


Now we get to the "earned path to citizenship" for all undocumented immigrants present in the United States on January 1, 2021.

Under this bill, anyone who satisfies the eligibility criteria for a new "lawful prospective immigrant status" can come out of the shadows.


So, what are the eligibility criteria for becoming a "lawful prospective immigrant status"? Those are in a new INA 245G and include:

- Payment of the appropriate fees
- Continuous presence after January 1, 2021
- Not having certain criminal record (but there's a waiver)


After a person has been in "lawful prospective immigrant status" for at least 5 years, they can apply for a green card, so long as they still pass background checks and have paid back any taxes they are required to do so by law.

However! Some groups don't have to wait 5 years.

Faith Without Works is Dead!

Jam2:17 NLT - “So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.”

There is a growing message and doctrine in the church that seems to discountenance works and suggests that the only thing we need ...

... as Christians is just to ‘believe’ in Christ and that lack of good works does not affect one’s faith in Christ. My brother and sister, this is big lie from the pit of hell. It doesn’t matter who is saying it or how big their ministry is, it goes against the scriptures ...

... and is against the Truth.
Our opening scripture tells us that it is not enough to simply believe in Jesus; there must be accompanying works to prove it. In fact, Jam2:19 says even demons believe that there is one God and His only begotten Son is Jesus.

However, they don’t obey Him or submit to His will. In order words, submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the total will of God is the proof of faith. Jesus said “not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will ...

... of My Father in heaven.”(Matt7:21) and “for whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” (Matt12:50).

Rom3:28 NIV - “For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.”

Post Independence, Army wanted to select the most experienced Indian commander as Army chief. But Nehru without consulting anyone appointed Gen Rob Lockhart, a senior British Army officer as the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the Indian Army.


Most people were shocked to know that Nehru selected a British Man after fighting for independence for over 200 years! Major Gen A A ‘Jick’ Rudra of the Indian Army was completely upset with the decision.


One day Lockhart met Nehru with a strategic plan and proposed many government directive defence policies for the country. He placed it on the table and explained the point to PM Nehru. After a while Lockhart walked out of the room and met AA Jick Rudra,+

Lockhart looked shell shocked and stunned. When asked what happened he said “The PM took one look at my paper and blew his top. Rubbish! Total rubbish! We don’t need a defence plan. Our policy is ahimsa (non-violence). We foresee no military threats. Scrap the army!”

One year after the incident the Kashmir crisis had increased and Gen Lockhart used to exchange ideas with the Gen Douglas Gracey who was commander in chief of Pakistan Army.There were many infiltrations along the border which Lockhart knew and took no action. But Lt Gen Cariappa+

Shy people are either overthinking or highly observant of the social setting.

And in many cases it can be both.

'So what do I do?'

You learn the 75/25 law.

'What is that?'

The law of charisma...👇

Let's address the over thinkers first.

Do you have any idea why you overthink?

'Yea. Because others are judging how shy I am.'

Incorrect.

Others are thinking about themselves, not you.

But the fact that you think they are thinking about you, you fuck up the interaction.

Now you stay in your head too much & avoid the present moment.

A major no no in the social world.

Your tendency to think that others are judging you for being shy, coincidentally makes you more shy.

And that's when you start giving off a strange vibration to the social setting.

This is when you begin attracting comments like 'why are you so quiet?'

ARULMIGU SRI PARTHASARATHY SWAMY KSHETRAM, CHENNAI (TN)

Divya Desha where Perumal appears with moustache of a Sarathi (charioteer) to conduct Arjun’s Rath in Kurukshetra war.
Here, Venkatkrishna-Parthasarthy is present with his entire family.


He is flanked by Sri Rukmini, Sri Balarama, Satyaki, son Pradyumn and grandson Anirudha.
It is said that on the request of Raja Sumathirajan, Sri Perumal appeared and stayed here as Arjun’s charioteer (Partha-sarathi).


He is without chakra as he had promised not to wield weapons in Mahabharata war.
The face has scars caused by Bhishma’s arrows on Arjun. Prabhu took the arrows on himself to protect Arjun.


The Naivedyam offered here does not have spices. Ghee is used in it to cure Prabhu’s wounds. Sarkarai Pongal is famous here.

It is said that Rishi Bhrigu found Devi Lakshmi (as Vedvalli) in Alli flower in the mandir pushkarini. Later, Sri Ranganatha came here to marry her.

There are many strategies in market 📉and it's possible to get monthly 4% return consistently if you master 💪in one strategy .
One of those strategies which I like is Iron Fly✈️

Few important points on Iron fly stategy

This is fixed loss🔴 defined stategy ,so you are aware of your losses . You know your risk ⚠️and breakeven points to exit the positions.
Risk is defined , so at psychological🧠 level you are at peace🙋‍♀️

How to implement
1. Should be done on Tuesday or Wednesday for next week expiry after 1-2 pm
2. Take view of the market ,looking at daily chart
3. Then do weekly iron fly.
4. No need to hold this till expiry day .

5.Exit it one day before expiry or when you see more than 2% within the week.
5. High vix is preferred for iron fly
6. Can be executed with less capital of 3-5 lakhs .
https://t.co/MYDgWkjYo8 have R:2R so over all it should be good.

8. If you are able to get 6% return monthly ,it means close to 100% return on your capital per annum.

Shri Hanuman had boon to be immortal. And be present where ever there is Ram stuti.
I came across this beautiful story that I would like to share
#threadstories
#Hanuman ji is believed to live in the foothills of Himalayas. But once he spent a lot of time in Sri Lanka
1/9


Where Ravan's brother ruled for many years..
On his way back he came across tribal people from community called #Mathanga
He gave Darshan to them. The chief of the tribe asked him to keep coming back to guide their generations
Hanuman ji said that whoever recites this mantra
2/9


I will give them Darshan. But there are two conditions
1st he/she must know his relationship with me
2nd there must not be anyone around him in 950 mts radius. If present, that person must also know about my relationship with him /her.

He promised to come after every 41 yrs

The Mathangs also maintain a ‘logbook’ where they record all the words spoken and ‘leelas’ performed by Lord Hanuman.
They call him their Guru
Who teaches them how to live their lives.
A Sri Lankan organization called Setuu is studying this ‘logbook’ and also conduct
4/9

programmes for Hanuman devotees who can do ‘Sadhna‘ under the guidance of Setuu masters. Devotees who qualify all the criteria will be eligible for Hanuman’s ‘sakshaat darshan‘
The Setuu has certain conditions that need to be kept in mind which includes devoting one complete
