VIRTUAL REALITY VS GENUINE REALITY


  VIRTUAL REALITY VS GENUINE REALITY

Peace be upon you.
A friend of mine told me that he developed a very keen interest with a lady he met on Facebook. They started chatting and sooner the booked engagement to meet physically devoid of the social media arena. He was not only disappointed by her physical appearance but also the deceitful looks presented in the social media platform enabled by Photoshop and noise reduction applications.
Likewise, simulation experiences are perfectly created and engineered to give us near real life experiences of how things are or can be in an ideal state. My friend however was not interested in the beauty of the heart of the lady in question or the intellectual content of the chat he had been having with the lady which kept him glued until he met her and the illusion created by the virtual world was busted as a result of unfounded expectations that were made manifest.

Virtual reality according to an online source is a computer-generated environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment.

My take on today’s topic is simply on genuine reality and why it is the only platform where we can share our altruism. Genuine reality can be carried out through virtual platforms but it does not end there.  Fight against poverty, diseases, terrorism cannot be fully defeated only on virtual platform; actions must be practically carried out to help those truly in need.

Someone once asked a question that with all our Facebook friends, how many can we rely on when in times of distress? This answer can be left open ended. I have seen people use virtual platform to help fight social, economic and political causes. I have seen people use the virtual platform to wreak havoc. I have seen groups that are centered on creating awareness on many issues, I have seen people raise crowd funding for those in need, I have seen very genuine groups develop platforms of hope but at the end of the day no one is buried on any virtual platform. 


One on one encounter is still vital. 


Peace be with you.

WHILE WE WERE PRAYING: BY AN ANONYMOUS WRITER.

After independence, in order to build a great nation, each country went to work. But in Nigeria, after independence, our people went to pray and fast. So, while we were praying, Malaysia came here and took our palm seedlings and built a great factory of it. While we were praying, Singapore went into investment in technology. While we were praying, India went into ICT. While we were praying, China went to massive industrialization. While we were shouting Allah Alakuba! UAE went into massive infrastructural development. While we were binding and casting Lucifer, Japan went into technological development. While we were speaking in tongues, Denmark went into education of her citizens. While we were mounting big speakers in our places of worship, USA was mounting man on the moon. After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according to our labour. Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc has been re...

THE FEEDING BOTTLE NATION

                                         THE FEEDING BOTTLE NATION                                           BY CHIBU NDUBUISI 15/05/2017 Peace be to you. Feeding bottle is used to feed infants because they are yet to develop the capacity to feed themselves. It is designed in such a way that the feed tickles down to the dependent infant. An infant that uses feeding bottle does not understand what it takes to make the feed, but the parent or guardian are hopeful that one day the infant will grow up and begin to feed him/herself. When this scenario does not play out as expected, then we assume that there is a problem. As illustrated above, so it is with the country N...
