Lakes State, South Sudan,
5th January 2022 — Gifts occupy a crucial place in our social life, it’s build our relationships with other people’s. Gifts are given for anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, New Year, and for some reasons. Gift giving has been a long tradition that dates back thousands of years as far back as man can remember.
It is not everything that can be expressed with words so gifting is one of the best way which makes it easy for every individual to make the other person feel special and to make them aware about their feelings too! Nowadays gifts are the very important part of our life and they plays a valuable role in every relationship.
The recipient of the gifts is expected to be vigilant because some gifts are meant to destroy you. Don’t trust any enormous gifts from strangers. You have no clue what might be in it.
The Torjan horse story teaches us to always be alert and never believe anyone easily because you never know how that person or thing is. Trojan Horse is one of the earliest recorded evidences of using betrayal to win over a war. As it turned out, the Greek soldiers were hidden inside the Trojan Horse, which led to the fall of Troy.
The Trojan Horse is an impeccable example of how the world functions. Most of the gifts that you receive, especially from your enemy, aren’t gifts at all, but rather, a way to lead you down the wrong path.A Trojan Horse can easily be compared to false flattery, fake friends etc. Things that one should, at all costs, stay away from.
The idea of using the Trojan horse occurred to the Greeks only after 10 years of war, by then the Greeks had lost too many of their men. This was the age of chivalry when great men fought with equals by challenging them.
The Trojan horse was the last resort. It was a suicidal mission that succeeded. The lesson is to defeat the enemy quickly or make peace and bring the conflict to an end. But do not carry on the war. If both cant be done, then only a very risky strategy will work and it may end in failure.
Before total disaster happens, save whatever you can. In the case of the Greeks, they won the war and massacred all the Trojans.
The horse was very important to the Trojans, they worshiped it. It was almost impossible to penetrate the Trojan city, the war became too long and the soldiers were tired. That’s why Ulysses, the smartest of the Greeks, gave the idea to built a wooden horse, to put some Greek soldiers inside, to leave it infront of the gates of the city and then to pretend to leave with the rest of the soldiers. His plan succeded
The whole issue of lroy started with the kidnapping of a married woman by Prince Paris. Because of his self-centered idiocy, he caused the war and the death of tens of thousands of men and women and destruction of Troy. It was the greatest war in history that time, involving at least 100,000 men in each army as well as 1,184 Greek ships.
For the common soldier, they suffered and died badly, because of stupid and dirty politics. For the common citizens, they were raped, tortured and killed. Throughout history, this scenes were repeated uncountable times everywhere in the world.
, since the Trojans though that the war was over and that the horse was a gift for them as winners. The Trojans opened their gates and let the horse in. Then they partyed all night. when everyone in the city were asleep and drunk, the Greek soldiers came out of the wooden horse and killed everyone . Thus the Greeks won n the war.

“Opinion: Don’t accept gifts from strangers”
Mr. Makur Gum, you are spot on chap.
Gifts are goods, but some gifts are pretty dangerous and a sinister connotation. And that is some others brains sometimes can roll over and say, to the give of the gift, no thank you. Or with some a doubt, you can simply recieve a gift from an untrustworthy giver, and store his his/her give in hell.
But some of our elders, just don’t seem read the South Sudanese lifts. Mr. Salva Kiir given that black hat, he wears by the former president of US, George W Bush, the second. As you might be aware Mr. Makur Gum, these days, an image can be photoshoped or manipulated by your adrseaary to ‘home some kind his/intended message’
I am not in a possition to investigate that alleged gift to from a Saudi Arabian terrorist, I cannot if it is really or not for now.
In South Sudan when you come of age, had gone through ‘apɛ̈ɛ̈l räk’ on the Nile West Bank or ‘rääk/alɔ̈knhïïm’ on East Bank of the Nile, Your will then go and give his favourite cow in the cattle camp, and tell his son, to after ‘that cow he gave his his son’ All all other cows, don’t belong to son, yet, the son has to show, is worthy of anything. Yeah.All the cattle are just the son and his kins wealth after all.
Gifts Mr. Makur Gum, have some meanings in others culture, specially in our Nilotic plains and valleys. But there are some communities in our country who just damn give a damn about anything, they think living free UN, NGOs, humanitarian aids, donations (gifts) and human rights or so-called peacekeepers to keep peace and distribute free UN and free food rations, warring African creatures.
And this is precisely the reasons as our country and our people are are ‘projected as th Vulnerable country and people’ By the evils who our low lowy informed elders or politicians, often called their allies or uncles.
Mr. Makur Gum, our cloned so-called Arabs of North Sudan, Abeshas (prostitutes), Bantuses criminals Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta, jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania, Mr. Paul Rwanda, former South African piece of trash, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, former Nigerian president, Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo, Yasir Arman, Malik Agar, our piece of secret societies of traitors, theives and foreign puppets/stooges of Mr. Riek Machar, Lam Akol, Pagan Amuom, Uyai Deng Ajak, Rebecca Nyandeng, her son, Majak Agoot, Thomas Cirillo have a lot to answer South Sudanese people.
Continued from the above post, Mr. Makur Gum, if you are really a teaching assistant from Rumbek University of Science and Technology, then you ‘shouldn’t be using ‘Gmails of all emails’. Is own the devils in the US and probably you are a teaching assistant. There are no teachers or primary schools in South Sudan. Who use ‘gmails’ or unprotected emails, lest their data, their students data would be stolen and be sold in New York, UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, British virgin Island and other shady countries’ by the devils and the evils.

They even followed me back to home of Jonglei and Upper Nile, that I don’t earn good money, and that I should for them, to regime change the government of Sudan, I killed two of them. The evils playing games, with our country and our people are the greatetest of DEVILS and EVILS on this planet earth.

Indians of stripes, are evills piece of shits. Our South Sudanese piece of low low lives have adequately informed never ever touch anything to do with so-called the so-called NBN or internet the lowly eduacated pieces of trashes think, it is anything. Let the Kenyans, Ugandans, Rwandans, Burundans, Southern African Bantuses countries, Abesh (so-called ethiopia, Congolese, West Africans have their own NBN and pay for it And the data data be stolen and be broadcast in New York stock exchange, London estock exhange, UAE, Nairobi stock exhange, Johansburge stock exchanges, Hong Kong, Mumbai stock exhange

Oil is depleted In Saudi Arabia, but the evils and devils think, the oil here in Upper Nile would go and refined Saudi Arabia and their gulf Arab states terrorists’ Infrastructures. Says an evil juus (so-called israel) attack dog Mr. Benjamin Netanyahuu and his bunch of zionist evils and devil exporters.
