Chidi,
I suppose that "Nigeria" is also a metaphor for somewhere here on earth. Ditto Oduduwa, another imaginary location to which some souls qualify to transmigrate. It's a meritocracy.
Hell? They say that that's the place where members of Muhammad's Dead Poets Society ultimately suffer their everlasting punishment.
Still shmiling and shuffering in the vale of tears, there are those who say that money is the root of all evil. My friend Momodu Sidibeh says that it can also be the root of a lot of good. If, as some of the sceptics and poets believe, Hell (Jahannam) and Heaven ( Jannah) are mere "metaphors" for punishment and reward in the hereafter, then perhaps, they had better be very careful - the fire is said to be a very real fire, the heat, hotter than the surface of the sun, just as the gardens and the houris are also very real. There are many polemical discussions in the wholly Holy Quran pointing to the hapless journey's end for the disbelievers.
Exactly where and when does "the Hereafter" begin? Does it begin with the soul leaving the body - they say through the mouth, after the last breath, or does the "Hereafter" begin with the questions in the grave ?

In this fashion my pal Wesley Virgin's story begins with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the CIA and others used to obtain everything they want.
As it turns out, these are the same secrets lots of famous people (especially those who "come out of nothing") and elite business people used to become rich and famous.
You probably know how you only use 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe that conversation has even occurred IN YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years back, while riding a non-registered, beat-up bucket of a car without a license and on his banking card.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally succeed?"
You've been a part of those those types of thoughts, ain't it right?
Your success story is waiting to happen. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
WATCH WESLEY SPEAK NOW
