Location: Nigeria | FAME AND MONEY 25-5-2011
I went out with Joseph to an English man and author of a book on a specialized field. “What is the book about?” I asked while Joseph stood solidly behind me. The man tore the last page of one of the several copies on display before him and wrote “Dr….(something), endorsed his signature and said: “I will give you one copy for free if you find out who I am.” He folded the last page and gave me. “So long doctor,” he said to Joseph and then I realized the two had known each other. I hid my surprise and we departed. “The difference between the English and us is that they do their works for fame and money while we do ours as believers for God,” I said to Dr. Joseph and awoke. |

Location: Nigeria | Gathering Clouds Of Darkness 11-5-2011
There was a strong wave of fear spreading around. Armed bandits planned to strike and people had begun relocating to their villages of birth to hide from the envisaged mayhem, There at the village was also the eerie feeling of harm and tension mounting high. I passed by a military unit in full alert. I passed by women and children caught in wilderness between town and their villages. I was riding on a bicycle. I had an iron cage behind that had my bird, a giant shadowy falcon that will, when released, devour the mountainous clouds beclouding the sky. I pedaled thrice before releasing the bird which eagerly charged into the dark sky and began driving the clouds back into the moon. I watched the moon, hazy and busy, soaking up the mess threatening to blot its luminescence and awoke.

The occasion looked like an award night. The MC called upon me to make my rendition. I said: “In the beginning I was shy but all thanks are due to my mum who inspires and emboldened me.” There were claps all around the arena. I awoke.

Location: Nigeria | DAVID 7-6-2011
It was towards dawn. I was quite aware of my state of sleep when I saw a tall handsome man of eastern bearing walked towards the street of my home. He wore a long simple gown. When he reached me he slowed down and then passed to where was seated my neighbor alone. Now there were two of them. The stranger had taken the exact shape of my neighbor. They were discussing about me. Then appeared from nowhere a youth who directly came to where I was lying. The youth said: "I come to introduce David to you." My mind automatically reeled back to Iran and one of the Twelve sects of Shia. I awoke.

Location: Nigeria | GEN. MUHAMMADU BUHARI 19-4-2011
There was a computer Center. I was seated on a system designing a program while head of the Unit sat beside me designing his own program. An Operative of the Unit appeared in the sparkling neat computer room, in his custody, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari adorned in white gown. The General was summoned to clear the air of the explosive load of negative waves that had accumulated as a result of the Presidential race. He was to accept his defeat as the bitter side of fate and make a peaceful speech to his embittered followers whose anger the negative force had wanted to extensively exploit. When Buhari made for the podium, there was an uproarious applause by an invisible audience. I broadened the icon on my screen to zoom more closely into the scenario - whether I was inadvertently missing the audience, but there was still no one in sight but the General, standing tall in the ultra-modern auditorium, and inaudibly calling his people to book. "I should sit and learn programming," the Operative that brought Buhari in said. "Sit down right away. Computing is not about theory but practice. Ahmad here began by coming to watch us work, now I could proudly say he designs programs of his own," head of the Unit said. " I believe so. I believe in perfection. I remember my early school days . I love grammar, yet lazy when it comes to writing essays. One day an essay was written in my name and entered into a competition that I turned out to be winner. Thanks to my love for English grammar," the Operative said and I awoke.

Location: Nigeria | UN Secretary General 31-10-2010
I was watching the scrolling of numbers. When the last zero digits had reached nine and the count chimed on 400,000 000,000, I awoke briefly and went back. I was with a friend witnessing the silver jubilee of the United Nations. "You are supposed to be here," my friend said while we strolled past BBC stand at the occasion. There, we found a Nigerian BBC female reporter conducting an interview with a guest. "I will be there after UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon," I said and awoke.

I was with IBB.We were in an exercise in martial arts. We were facing each other seated on swivel chairs, attacking and counter attacking ourselves with blows and kicks and both meticulously defending ourselves with not a point registered in the fierce charade."You aspired for the presidency in 2007 and after the demise of President Yar'adua," I said. IBB was tense and quizzical. He intensified his speed in the game to deal a blow but I was able to defend myself. I awoke. |

Location: Nigeria | SPANIARD PRINCESS 25-6-2011
a princess in her royal cottage. A brownish Argentine bred horse adorned for an evening ride. The princess, a slim beauty of moderate height and bosom rode her horse into the wilderness, oblivious of the looming plot to terminate her life. The sniper, patiently waiting in the woods for his prey. When the princess reached the spot, her inner senses began relying the de'javou alarm. Only, it was a little too late. The sniper, a little distance away had squeezed the trigger. A silent thud and she waited to feel the pain. She felt nothing. It was by a rail-line atop a spacious bridge that had water running bellow. I jumped down from atop the horse and made it under the bridge, The sniper had missed. He followed her from the other side of the bridge. His hands and feet clasped, like the princess' to the iron of the bridge.They both moved, unknowingly, towards each other. One desperate to accomplish a task and the other to the spontaneous task to escape. They collided, head and feet and were shocked as they helplessly peered into each other's faces. She saw the face of a dear friend she had known from when she was a lass and he the same. There I left them weighing their chances and options and awoke.

Location: United Kingdom | Yes, dear Danjummai, I suppose all is always well with God - as others before me have said, it is we who leave God, s/he never leaves us ...
... though I wonder if God also suffers with/for us [a possible link to Aquarius' Crucifixion meditations perhaps] ... ? |

Location: Nigeria | The Passion Of The Christ
Yes Aquarius, Mel Gibson or James Caviezel. Paul, I think "The Passion of the Christ"answers a great deal of the subject in question. My greatest wonder is why I always shed tears every time I watch the insightful movie. Keeps me wondering if everyone feels the same in Jesus' suffering as aptly illustrated by the actor Caviezel. I sometimes say to myself when watching the movie; Good Lord, Christ had really suffered Ironically speaking my friend, I use the movie in my meditation - every time I feel depressed, pained by our mundane reality. It gives me the feeling I was not alone and it shall come to pass. What about you and the rest of us Paul - felt anything? I had wanted to post a thread on this poser long ago, during the heat of the Vatican protests (apology to my other friend, Marty and his pussy cats.). May be to gain light from our Divinity Professors out there , but I forgot - quite customary of the forgetful side of us, mankind.
PEACE!

Location: United Kingdom | The film worried me about its' treatment of the Jews - trying to 'nail' the 'blame'
[on Mame, babe, put the blame on Mame ...(Marty might be amused)]
hence centuries of anti-Semitism justified in post-reconstructive rationalisation
Don't know really: we dream now, and conjure the dream in our everyday lives -
is not that the Dream?
A dream of crucifixion, beauty, love, death, and/or whatever we desire?
The dream of the mirror, maybe |

Location: Nigeria | SATAN RULES WITH TERROR 9-5-2011
Kaduna State Governor-elect Sir. Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa visited our neighborhood and was cornered by a gang of blood mongering youngsters incited by their mentors. People in the neighborhood all came out but no one was able to intervene. I called out to the youngsters thus: "It is Satan that uses terror to gain the loyalty of its worshipers. You are all ganged up to spill blood of the innocent." To the Governor and his entourage I said: "Fear them not but Allah (The Almighty) if you are true believers." I awoke.

Location: Nigeria | GUIDED MISSILE 26-6-2011
I was by a shop at Unguwar Kanawa (UK). The younger brother to my wife Danjuma met me. "I drank the 'Capitol'. I am drunk and feeling giddy," he said. "Go find milk and drink. It will sober you down," I replied thereafter I was shot at by a sniper from inside the shop. The shooter missed and bullet blitzed way into the air curbing round. "What?" I gasped and awoke in surprise.
REMINDER: In spiritual warfare any missed target is a hit indeed. Spiritual missile is like our conventional guided missile. It keeps tracking to destroy its target within the specified time frame. Only difference being that the spiritual missile turns back to self-destruct at its home base when target is not met. Warriors! Men, Women, Jinns and Demons! Beware!!!

A tall lanky American General came to my office. I was heading a research Unit at NASA. I submitted to him a proposal on an extraterrestrial mission to space. When he turned to go, I found "CIA" written on his brown uniform and awoke.

Location: The Heart of Space | Danny....I lament, no more NASA as we knew it from the time that John Fitzgerald Kennedy proclaimed that we would send a man to the moon....after the Soviets had orbited the earth quite a few times with dogs, and Yuri's. When we stop seeking other worlds, it speaks ill of us. It says that we are in our "protective" mode.....like the tortoise in the shell. The sad truth is that, absent a cataclysmic event in which we go the way of the dinosaurs, we will have to leave this planet. No matter what our conservation level is, we will exhaust the resources of the planet and we will either leave or we will die out. If we manage to hang on for a good long while, our sun will force us out. So....we leave one way or another. I'd rather the generation so far removed from me that it is unimaginable have an escape plan born of my loins, than to be caught unprepared. Peace and Stewed Cassava, Marty, Luck, Popp, and Siss |

Location: Nigeria | Hum, cassava(Gari), though starch, is sweet especially with Ogwu soup and fish...we'll miss all these in the seemingly reactionary ozone layer brouhaha. Personally, Marty, when the end comes to that, I don't think I will miss anything. Not pride, you and the cats know that God has a way of compensating the bereaved!
PEACE!
