BIBLE FACTS THAT SCIENCE & ARCHAEOLOGY NOW CONFIRM (Yes, Seriously!)

For years, the Bible’s been called a book of myths, but archaeology keeps showing up like a divine mic-drop. Here are a few once-laughed-at Bible claims now literally unearthed:

1. The Hittites Were Real: Once thought fictional, their empire was found in modern Turkey. Abraham’s land deal? Historically spot on (Gen. 23).

2. King David Wasn’t a Legend: The 1993 Tel Dan Stele mentions the “House of David.” That slingshot boy made history!

3. S***m & Gomorrah? Excavations in Tall el-Hammam show a city destroyed by a cosmic airburst. Genesis 19 just got scientific backup.

4. Hezekiah’s Tunnel Exists: Dug to secure water during siege (2 Kings 20:20), and yes, tourists wade through it in Jerusalem today.

5. Pool of Bethesda: Once mocked, now found – five colonnades and all (John 5:2). The man Jesus healed wasn’t dreaming it.

6. Pontius Pilate Was Real: His name’s carved in stone – the Pilate Stone (Matt. 27:2). Even bad governors leave receipts.

7. Jericho’s Walls Did Fall: Excavations show they collapsed outward – a siege anomaly matching Joshua 6.

8. Babylonian Exile? Confirmed: Clay tablets mention King Jehoiachin and his daily rations in captivity – like Jeremiah said.

9. Nazareth Was Real: Once doubted, archaeologists have now uncovered first-century homes and tombs.

10. Crucifixion Was Brutal (and Real): A heel bone pierced by a Roman nail was found in Jerusalem – proof of John 20:25.

Lesson? The Bible is not just spiritually rich; it’s archaeologically accurate. It’s not science versus Scripture – it’s science finally catching up.

Moral of the story: Next time someone mocks your Bible, hand them a shovel and say, “Dig here.”

"I resign the highest office in the land to become president of the United States."

President James Garfield (on relinquishing his role as a local church pastor in order to become president in 1881)

Don't worry, I am not resigning anything to come and replace that awoof man. I am fine.

ANDROPAUSE - MEN CAN PAUSE TOO, NOT MENOPAUSE

Andropause, often referred to as male menopause, is a term used to describe a collection of symptoms associated with a gradual decline in testosterone levels in aging men. Unlike the abrupt hormone changes that women experience during menopause, the decrease in testosterone and other hormones in men occurs more gradually. Here are some key points about andropause:

Symptoms of Andropause
The symptoms of andropause can vary widely but commonly include:

- Reduced muscle mass and strength
- Increased body fat, especially around the abdomen
- Decreased bone density, leading to osteoporosis
- Reduced libido and erectile dysfunction
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Emotional and Psychological Symptoms:

- Fatigue and decreased energy levels
- Mood swings and irritability
- Depression and anxiety
- Decreased motivation and confidence
- Problems with concentration and memory

- Sleep disturbances
- Decreased fertility

Causes of Andropause:
The primary cause of andropause is the gradual decline in testosterone levels, which typically begins in men around the age of 30 and continues at a rate of about 1% per year. Factors that can influence the onset and severity of andropause include:

- Age: Natural aging process
- Health Conditions: Conditions like obesity, diabetes, and chronic illnesses can exacerbate the decline in testosterone.
- Lifestyle Factors: Poor diet, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking can contribute to the severity of symptoms.
- Stress: Chronic stress can also negatively impact hormone levels.

Diagnosis of Andropause typically involves:

- Medical History and Symptom Assessment: A thorough evaluation of the patient’s symptoms and medical history.
- Physical Examination: A physical exam to rule out other conditions.
Blood Tests: Measuring testosterone levels, usually in the morning when they are at their highest, along with other relevant hormone levels and markers of health.

Treatment and management for andropause aim to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. These options include:

Lifestyle Changes:
- Regular exercise, especially strength training
- Healthy diet rich in nutrients
- Adequate sleep and stress management techniques
- Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT):

Testosterone replacement therapy, which can be administered via injections, patches, gels, or implants, may be considered for men with significantly low testosterone levels and severe symptoms.

Other medications to address specific symptoms, such as antidepressants for mood swings or medications for erectile dysfunction.

What of Psychological Support?

Counseling or therapy to help manage mood swings, depression, or anxiety is significant, and should not be overlooked. Seek help, join support groups.....TALK TO SOMEONE.

Andropause is a natural part of aging for many men, and it is characterised by a gradual decline in their testosterone levels and other associated symptoms. Understanding andropause is crucial for addressing its impact on physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.

Men experiencing symptoms of andropause should consult healthcare professionals for proper diagnosis and management to improve their quality of life.

The Misadventures of Pastor Phil

Once upon a Sunday, in the little town of Faithville, there lived a beloved pastor named Phil. Pastor Phil was known for his inspiring sermons, kind heart, and a penchant for finding himself in the most peculiar situations.

One bright Sunday morning, Pastor Phil decided it was time to bring a visual aid to his sermon on faith. He had recently acquired a large, inflatable boat for a summer camp and thought it would be perfect to illustrate the story of Jesus calming the storm. His plan was to inflate the boat in the church hall, sit in it while preaching, and make a dramatic point about having faith during life's storms.

The congregation gathered, curious about the giant, deflated rubber heap at the front of the church. Pastor Phil began his sermon with great enthusiasm, talking about the power of faith. As he spoke, he plugged in the air pump and the boat started to inflate.

Everything was going smoothly until the boat, which was much larger than Phil had anticipated, began to expand beyond its designated space. It knocked over the pulpit, pushed against the choir, and even jostled the organist, who was trying to keep a straight face while playing "Amazing Grace."

Despite the growing chaos, Pastor Phil was undeterred. He climbed into the partially inflated boat, holding his Bible high. "This," he declared, "is how we should face the storms of life—with unwavering faith!"

Just then, there was a loud pop. The boat, overinflated and under stress, burst with a mighty sound that echoed through the church. Pastor Phil, now sitting on a rapidly deflating boat, found himself sinking lower and lower until he was practically on the floor.

The congregation, trying to stifle their laughter, watched as Pastor Phil tried to salvage the situation. He stood up, looked at the deflated mess, and said with a twinkle in his eye, "Well, folks, I guess this is a perfect example of what happens when we put our faith in the wrong things. But fear not, for our faith in God will never let us down!"

The church erupted in laughter and applause. That day, Pastor Phil's sermon was more memorable than ever, not just for the lesson on faith, but for the reminder that even in the midst of our funniest failures, God’s love and grace are always there to lift us up.

And so, the believers of Faithville left the service encouraged, knowing that it’s okay to laugh at life's mishaps because God has a perfect plan, even if it sometimes includes a burst inflatable boat.

Remember, dear friends, laughter is a gift from God, and even our silliest moments can bring joy and encouragement to others. Keep the faith and keep smiling!

Yesterday:

One Father: I don’t know why you guys are complaining over house chores.

H1: There are too many things you throw at us and we don’t have time for our personal stuffs.

One Father: Personal stuffs? 2 washing machines, dishwasher, dryer and all forms of gadgets around you and you are still moaning. May be we should get you additional sibling to reduce the burden on you.

H2: Whaaat? Don’t try it dad. Another what?

One Father: Didn’t know you are this angry. Don’t try it? What if it has already happened?

H1: Daddy….please, I beg you in the name of the father, mother, son, spirit, sister, angels, heaven and everything, don’t tell me mummy is pregnant. This is one of your pranks yeah? Or are you using style to give us a breaking news?

H2: Hephzy, let’s just pack our stuffs and go back to London to stay with grandma. Another baby? With all these never-ending errands?

One Father: I thought you guys love babies….

H2: Daddy, stop it….those are other people’s babies. They are cute and cuddly. We only spend few hours with them…especially when they are girls.

H1: Yes. Haddy is right. The church babies are innocent and all we have to do is play with them…not running errands to to maintain them.

One Father: So you are satisfied with other people’s babies, especially girls…what is wrong with boys? Boys are stronger. What if I want a boy to balance you guys?

H2: Daddy….with all respect to an African father…stop dreaming. Don’t stress us with this idea. Are you and your son not enough? You want your bring another Hadriel like you to this house? Count me out.

One Father: Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? What is wrong with another Hadriel or a boy like me? What is wrong with us? Isn’t that sexism?

H1: No daddy, we are appealing to a loving father, don’t think about it again. We can’t be living on the edge everyday managing you and your son, and you still want to bring another unpredictable copy of you.

One Father: Oh my days. Did you previously have this conversation with your mum?

H1: We didn’t, and we don’t have to. We are just very intuitive of what trauma you boys cause us if you are too many.

H2: I don’t even know what to say. I have to watch my steps around you and Hadriel every time not knowing if it’s a pillow throw or a punch blow that will come from your mouths. Boys are so difficult to handle. They never listen to instructions. Just too stubborn.

One Father: No, what if you girls? Girls are the same too. That’s the way we boys see you.

H1: No daddy, we are ok. All we do is argue, snub, argue and argue, and then snub each other again. Haddy never listens to me.

H2: That’s not true. You are too overbearing, you are opinionated, you just want a robot to accept everything you say and I am not one.

H1: You see daddy. She never shows me any respect…

H2: You have to earn the respect. It is not fre….

H1: Let me finish Hadddddddyyyy…..you see dad, that’s exactly what I ma saying. This is where Hadriel is better. He will let you talk but he will just ignore you. Haddy doesn’t let me finish. You see she is still talking to drown me out.

H2: (Also talking over the sister) That’s not true. How can Hadriel be better than me when he will just ignore you? You are too bossy and bear-headed. You too won’t allow my opinion which also counts.

H1: It won’t count.

H2: It will count. Daddy….you are not saying anything? Isn’t she aggressively obsessive with owning every narrative?

H1: I am not. You are the aggressor here. I am older than you and you must respect my opinion which is 1 year and 8 months older than you.

H2: I cannot believe this. Your opinion levelled with the decade you were born into. It is archaic. It’s in the archive. I won’t accept it. Daddy….please say something.

H1: Yeah daddy, tell her she is rightly, totally and hundred percent wrong.

H2: Oh silllyyyy…how can one be rightly wrong? If you are wrong, you are wrong. You don’t sanctify it with any adverb or adjective.

H1: There is no adjective there. I didn’t say beautifully wrong. Beautiful could be…..

H2: Shuush….you are no Alexander Hamilton. I know that’s what you want to say next.

H1: How can you shuush me? If we are in Africa, I would be punishing you right now. I didn’t intend mentioning Alexander Hamil…..

H2: Then Alexander Pope…that’s a…

H1: Shut Uuuuup you naughty swallow face!

H2: No I won’t swallow maker! Poundo swallow or Ebarr swallow?

One Father: (screaming) Quiet everyone.

H1: Finally….

One Father: I said quiet.

H2: She called me swallow face.

One Father: I will Swallow Fufu your face right now if you don’t stop it. This is why Hadriel will never take you serious, and would rather ignore you than engage with you.

H2: Seriously? We were only having a decent conversation daddy. I just wished Hephzy would take my opinions on board and we would be fine.

H1: Your opinions always got me in trouble with daddy’s razor tongue. I won’t allow that to happen to me again.

H2: Daddy, your precious daughter just called your tongue a sword.

H1: No I didn’t. I said blade. Swall….

One Father: Stop it. I am done with your jabs. I have headache already. Moreover, my recorder is full of your countless jabs.

H1: Do you still record us? You are not tired of this since we were little? Boys always doing the same thing over and over. That’s not what will change us.

One Father: Now you see why we boys won’t want more of girls too. With us boys…one or two words, and we are done. We move on. You girls…you jump from Hamilton to Pope to Poundo and back to grammar wishing few seconds. No one can tell the head or tail of your conversation!

H1: It’s Haddy…

One Father: You see…already blamin….

H2: In fact, bring another baby girl today, and she will blame her tomorrow. Am I…

H1: Just shut up….

One Father: Hephzy, go an bring all the dirty clothes from the laundry baskets across the rooms in the house. Haddy, go and…

H2: Yeah I know…..

One Father: You didn’t have to cut me. You should start with the recyclables and wastes before you do the dishes.

H2: You want me to do the bins? Both of us used t….

H1: The boss is talking.

H2: I miss mum. If she is not working far from home now, it will be different.

One Father: How?

H2: Both of us put the rubbish away.

One Father: Are you ready to massage my feet instead?

H2: Oh no. I will do the rubbish instead.

H1: So I will massage your feet? Now I miss mummy too. Why can’t Hadriel do it for you?

One Father: You want him to remove my hairs and also skin me? Thanks.

H1: Of course, that’s the only thing he knows how to do well apart from holding remote controls.

H3: Daddy….I hungry. I want pizza.

H2: I think I will agree with him on that.

H1: Yeah, I think after our little converathon, pizza is a good way to finish it.

One Father: Then, call your mummy to help us make the order. She should have been back to her base from work by now.

H1: So we all still ended up asking a girl to fix the dinner!

One Father: Shut up.

Adonijah wanted to become king after David. He made noise and got 50 charioteers to run in front of him. He held banquets and threw parties all over the place. The one who became king rode on the king’s mule. It is not by noise!

Tomorrow. 10am.

11/01/2024

A lady came to me to narrate her ordeal. After listening to her carefully, I asked her what she had planned to do without pastoral input.

She told me her plan and I screamed. She just japa’d recently, and her plan was a dangerous Naija-esque desperate plan.

I told her to STAP IT.

Now, the mistake most Naija or Kemet people just getting here make is that they think the policing or investigating system here is same as the one back home.

If a police here is asking you a question, please, always assume at the back of your mind that they probably got like up to 70% evidences stacked up against you already.

When you are to be investigated, they don’t arrest you and then start investigating you. No. They already investigated you, and what they are doing is to question you so that you ‘rope’ yourself in fast to save them unnecessary delay by lawyers you may eventually hire.

They will make sure that your responses are taken down against every evidence they already gathered on you.

I told the lady what to do. ‘Don’t do it the Alausa-Bourdillion Balablu way, do it the UK way. Explain why you did what you did. You were scared…instinct took over, and you had no idea why you fled the scene.’

I then gave her prayer points to go and pray on. She needed God’s mercy over the response of the police and the action that would be taken over her response.

Did it work? After 2 months, she came to testify. Out of the blues, she was let off and advised on what to do in such a scenario comes up again. She was so happy telling me.

I lived in one funny house like that in my student-ship days.

We just woke up one morning and our house door was forced open by the fully-kitted Immigration officers. At least I counted 10-12 that went round the house. There were about 8-10 outside and at the back garden. The whole house was under siege.

As the door flung open, I heard what I thought was my name. So I answered to it I was marched down to the living room. They asked me to identify myself again. When I told them, they said they said it was ‘Thomas’ they wanted and not ‘Amos’. I confessed I was still deep asleep so I heard them wrong.

It was too late. They poured more officers into my room tearing everything apart. They were looking for a connection between me and a ‘Thomas’ that they had been investigating for 18 - 24 months for Visa and passports racketeering.

They spent over 18 months tracking, following, monitoring and gathering information and evidences of posts, deliveries, Royal Mail couriers they stopped on the road, addresses and everything.

The investigation took them to addresses in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Luton, Milyon Keynes and several others. They mentioned 10 cities overall, and ‘Nat’ as he called himself that day confirmed all the addresses in those cities were being raided on the same day and at the same time.

Nat also studied a Chemistry related course. As he was asking me questions, somebody was feeding him with answers validating my own responses. How did he know that I was first denied visa before it was appealed? How did he know that what I studied for MSc was opposite of my first degree background?

He asked me why I have not travelled home like most of my colleagues would. I was just looking at him as one of those gragra Goliaths I have confronted in the past. They scrutinised my income, NI, holiday pay and the hours I had worked.

At the back of my mind, I was like ‘you guys came for Thomas, why must you redeem your huge miss with my Amos?’

Thomas moved out of the property 3 weeks before I moved in. The other lady that was involved in the nonsense just woke up Friday morning and told me that she had to leave for Nigeria immediately. And she started looking for flight ticket for that evening. She packed all her stuff and left by 2-3pm that Friday for Heathrow.

4am Saturday morning, the immigration people came in raiding the house. That lady was the second target. Another lady sharing that room with the one that suddenly departed for Nigeria was the one taken by the immigration.

She was the one that cooperated for lesser sentence and helped nail the big players she knew. She was a smaller fish, so they were ready to let her off with a slap-sentence for bigger fish.

The lady that had arrived in Nigeria suddenly called me around lunch time on Saturday to ask me if anything happened. I was shocked. I told her what happened. She was not surprised. The juju that the Alfa neighbour of her parents did for her worked like ‘ajebidan’.

She knew a danger was coming that she can never be freed from if caught. So she paid top naira to get out of the country. Her room mate paid the price. Spent sometime in the prison. I am still pained till date that I didn’t get to visit her while she was there.

What am I trying to say? The outcome of that day’s multi-cities raid was a huge success. They were able to jail several top players and movers in that operation network. I am not sure if Thomas was eventually caught, but I know that the lady that escaped was back in the country within few weeks under a different identity. It was long before the days of biometric data capture.

Before most oyinbo investigators will publish their reports, or have their officers come after you, trust me, they have investigated you for the best past of the previous 24 months. It is now up to you through your responses to determine if your prosecution will be a quick one or a long one. They love to save money, so they will make sure they have enough to nail you before coming to you.

To the Japarians, don’t try to cut corners where they already got you nailed. If you are innocent…the mercies of God will help justify you.

Pix Credit: The only politician that has been investigated, searched, scrutinised and stripped, and yet, found NOTHING incriminating on him. Argue that on your own wall.

10/01/2024

When you have a cleric or a man who has an office, a room, a closet, a door, a table, a ground, a place or something that only him can access, use or touch, I am afraid, you are dealing with someone with connection to a very dark world.
