@elonmusk, if colonialism wasn't profitable, why didn't they leave? Why do we still see neocolonialism? Why did the CIA ensure Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown after many failed assassination attempts? It is not so simple to say Colonialism wasn't profitable.
@scottmelker@glove โข The user downloaded an app without checking its reviews or recommendations, despite Bitcoin's complexity requiring tech-savviness.
@AttorneyF_ Additionally, Mary's child was to be in her womb, and she would feel it to know it was real. Zacheriah was made mute so he wouldn't use his mouth to undermine the prophecy, because power resides in the tongue. God bless you.
There is no version of this song that is not incredibly insightful.
The more you think about it, the more you realise: Jesus was not a mere man. He was and He is, the best of all men, the template for all men and the greatest of all time.
Merry Christmas ๐ ๐ my dear friends.
"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.
Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.
One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.
Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.
Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"
"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."
He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."
The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."
Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.
But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,
"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."
So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.
Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."
Let this story reach more hearts....

@HubertBaid80747 3. It is unfortunate that six lives were lost. You need to be tone-conscious a bit.
Additionally, although adequate information is not available to determine exactly what happened, it could have been better.
@HubertBaid80747 2. However, I believe that to be fair although the numbers are huge everyone should be allowed to apply.
On the issue of a fully online system. It is not possible now since a national system is not currently in place to ascertain the authenticity of certificates.
@HubertBaid80747 1. When you say underutilised, how do you mean? I think that is very inaccurate information. Unless you can give a clear breakdown of what makes you come to that conclusion.
I agree that the process shouldn't be monetized.
@SaddickAdams There is a difference between a military officer and military personnel in general. Until the rank of the person is known let's stop referring to him as a military officer, military personnel should be fine. Cheers
@DesmondDjik@samgeorgegh 4. Let's say the military needs some AI experts and the people who qualify are 35 years old. The system could always design some training and career advancement for that unique skill group. The truth is people need jobs and that is what the focus should be on. Let me end here.๐
@DesmondDjik@samgeorgegh 3. You may not enjoy your service to the nation as much as you'd wish you want to. At 35, hopefully you'd be a Corporal at 43 which is not even a higher-level leadership rank meaning you'd have to take on the damadama task. Trust me by then all the joy would have been lost.
@MacJordaN@ghana_airforce@GhArmedForces When you have so many qualified people and you can just pick a few. This happens. There people with no tattoos and stuff that are tech savvy. In the US they literally beg ppl to join the military in ghana people beg to join the military. Demand and supply
