THE OCCUPATION OF WESTMINSTER BEGINS TODAY

Today, thousands of ordinary people are set to march on Westminster to demand an emergency response to the climate and cost of living crisis.

#CivilResistance #A22Network #JustStopOil #NoNewOil
Today, as our criminal Government refuses to address the rising energy prices, millions of families across the UK are plunged into fuel poverty, while fossil fuel companies continue to rake in billions in profits.

#October1st #OccupyWestminster #ClimateChange #CostOfLivingCrisis
Today is the day we say #EnoughIsEnough. Join the ‘We All Want To Just Stop Oil’ Coalition — Jeremy Corbyn’s Peace and Justice Project, Fuel Poverty Action, Insulate Britain, CND and others — on the streets of Westminster in Civil Resistance. Together we can #JustStopOil.

The Obidient movement is way beyond one man. It is the simultaneous organic loud roar of young Nigerians against the tyrannical old political order, the systemic bad leadership and poor governance that has held Nigeria captive since independence. #LagosRally
Everybody must not identify with the "obidients". We are all free to engage and make political affiliations of our convictions. What I advocate for is fairness, the preservation of citizens' right to peacefully and safely converge, civility and milk of human kindness across board
As "obidients" gather across the nation today especially in Lagos and other cities, my soul, spirit, prayers and voice go with them. Let there be a host of angels thwarting all evil plans raised against this righteous cause and genuine cry for a new Nigeria.

I am Obidient. ✊🏽

🚨 BREAKING: ONE JUST STOP OIL SUPPORTER IMPRISONED WHILE 10 WALK FREE AFTER PEACEFUL RESISTANCE AT KINGSBURY OIL TERMINAL 🚨

#CivilResistance #A22Network #JustStopOil #NoNewOil #EnoughIsEnough #October1st #BlockadeWestminster #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #CostOfLivingCrisis
One Just Stop Oil supporter who appeared in a Birmingham court yesterday was sent back to prison and another 10 were given suspended sentences for sitting peacefully outside the Kingsbury Oil Terminal to demand an end to new oil and gas projects in the UK.
The 12 Just Stop Oil supporters were accused of breaking the North Warwickshire injunction on 14th September. The private injunction is designed to help the state protect the profits of the oil industry by outlawing any protest activity near the Kingsbury Oil Terminal.

"Let's take a pick of the
unfolding series of
crises that we face this week
in Pakistan.
A third of the
country is underwater.
Those people who are least
responsible are up to their
necks in water.
It's criminal it's genocidal
what's happening it's fucking
outrageous."

Tez Burns, a 34 year old bicycle mechanic from Swansea, was imprisoned last week for peacefully demanding that the #Government stops giving out new oil and gas licences. Oil is causing the climate and #CostOfLivingCrisis, making us poorer, destroying jobs and killing us now.
“Civil resistance is our best chance of ending the cost of living crisis and the climate crisis, everything else has been tried and failed. It is the best use of our time and energy if we want change to happen.
“Rather than wasting billions subsidising the rising cost of energy and putting more money in the pockets of the oil companies, protect your citizens by investing in renewable energy and insulating our homes.

☕️Good morning to all! In today’s first #FridayPaleoArt of #October1st we are going to look for the prehistoric hunters through Paleolithic art.

Cave: #PechMerle
Place: Cabrerets, Lot, Francia
Motif: Wounded Man. Gallery of the Wounded Man
Chronology: Possibly #Solutrean

👇😉 Image
Today we are going to visit a well-known cave for its great animal representations, especially the spotted horses, but what about the humans? Image
Although this cave was known to locals, it was not until 1922 that the speleologist A. David, his sister Martha and Henri Dutertre, discovered the so-called “decorated cave.” Later, the parietal study was carried out by A. Lemozi, A. Leroi-Gourhan and M. Lorblanchet. Image

Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause
Guide our leader’s right
Help our youth the truth to know
In love & honesty to grow
And living just & true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation where peace & justice shall reign.

This second stanza of the national anthem is
always my first prayer when it's independence day.

My prayer in recent times has been "Help our youth the truth to know. "
A country highly dominated & blessed with creative youths, it's saddening that youths who should be propellers of a positive society are the 21st-century
tool used to perpetuate violence in the same society.

"Knowing the right thing is important, doing the right thing is more important."

I know one of the first lines of defence when these issues come up, is "Nigeria is not a sane clime, our leaders are this & that, the economy

6 Decades of Technology in Nigeria

In celebration of #NigeriaAt60 we scroll through pass the 6 decades of Nigeria's advancement in technology.

#IndependenceDay #October1st #happyindependenceday
Ogbunigwe (1960-69)

The Biafra war remains by far the worst moment in Nigeria since Independence. But the Biafran scientists showed great adeptness in technology during the war by creating and designing numerous devices...

#October1st
...Chief amongst them was the Ogbunigwe, a weapon system that incorporated long range surface and air missiles.

It's such a sad shame this level of technological advancement ended with the war.

1. Genesis 4:15b reads:Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. After the sixth seal is opened, there are signs in the heavens of the return of Christ and the servants of God(not the elect or church), are sealed as a sign of God’s protection..
2. The 144,000 are sealed prior to the trumpet judgments which will impact the land and the sea, as well as, those who have taken the mark of the beast.

I think I've commonly seen the servants of God associated with the 144,000, but as I read this, it can be interpreted...
3. As though the 144,000 are those who are sealed in a method different from the servants of God. The servants of God will know Ephesians 6:11...We will just put on the armor of God(& likely already have without [their] knowledge). So, back to these 144,000...
