He’ll probably end up happier than a lot of people. He lived life on his own terms, did what he wanted. When he’s old, he’ll probably look back and just laugh about everything.

I used to buy those cheap sunglasses from the roadside all the time and always thought, "What's the point of buying expensive ones? I'm going to loose them anyway." Then one day, I gathered the courage and bought an expensive sunglasses. And guess what? I still have them. I've taken care of them ever since.
That's when I realized those cheap sunglasses weren't getting lost because they were cheap? They were getting lost because I didn't value them enough to care. It's hard to accept, but sometimes in someone else's story, you are that cheap pair of sunglasses.

I have watched the full video.

While he admitted at the end of his speech that Christians are suffering, the mere fact that he absolved Tinubu of responsibility turns my stomach.

You said you had a meeting with the president and you told him the same thing you said in public

- Meet trump and ask him for 100 days
- Give the military chiefs 90 days to clean up the mess or resign
- Go after the sponsors of terror and neutralize them

- Yes they lobbied to meet Trump but so far they've only met Vance and Rubio
- They never got the 100 days seeing as a bomb arrived on Christmas
- The service chiefs are still in office after 7 months
- The sponsors are still walking free

Yet, you say "he has done his bit"

When Trump gives an order for highly sensitive situations he doesn't go to bed, he sits in the situation room and gets briefed in real time on the progress of the operation. How many situation room sessions has Tinubu presided over, on his visits to Nigeria from France, his country of residence.

When an American soldier dies in battle, Trump personally recognizes them and when one gets stuck behind enemy lines all resources are deployed to bring them back. How many GENERALS have we lost in Tinubu's tenure, how many has he publicly acknowledged?
Only a few weeks ago politicians were in the same state partying at the same time the burial of a general was being held. Someone who gave his life for his country.

I ask again, my dear General Overseer, what bit has Tinubu fucking done?

@BillyM2k It's part of the user experience, you have to assume people are stupid, cause trust me, people are stupid 😂😂😂

E.g. someone might turn their microphone off and then start wondering why the device isn't working anymore.

Jesus did not just die. He was brutally tortured: In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.

In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress.

At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped.

A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him.

Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!

The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion.

To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.

This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.

Jesus is King!

The most famous leadership moment of Alexander's life happened in the middle of his worst disaster.

This painting shows the Gedrosian desert crossing, 325 BC. Scouts found enough water to fill a single helmet and carried it to Alexander while his army died of thirst around him. He thanked them, raised the helmet, and poured it into the sand in front of everyone. If his men couldn't drink, neither would he.

The army roared. Arrian wrote that the whole column felt as if every man had drunk that water himself.

Here's the part the painting leaves out. Alexander chose this route. His generals pushed for the safer northern road back from India. He marched tens of thousands of soldiers plus camp followers into one of the harshest deserts on Earth anyway, partly to outdo the Persian kings who had failed to cross it. By some ancient accounts three quarters of the column never made it out. Sixty days of sand killed more of his people than a decade of battles against the Persian empire.

So the gesture that gets painted, quoted, and taught in leadership seminars was damage control for a catastrophe he personally authored. And it worked. The survivors stayed loyal, followed him out of the desert, and would have followed him further.

That's the uncomfortable lesson 2,300 years later. People will forgive the decision that nearly killed them if you visibly suffer it beside them. Shared misery buys more loyalty than good judgment ever has.
