Politics / Re: Our Ancestors Built This Wall 600 Years Ago. Today We Would Pay CHINA To Do It. by snthesis(m): 1:36pm On Sep 22, 2023
Dronedude:
“extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours... to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”


150 million hours translates to more than 17 thousand years. Are the saying it took 17 thousand years to build the wall of 16k kilometers?

Man hours means the Total number of hours an individual can work, so when a summary of Man-hours is given on a project, you can calculate the number of men that were involved over a specific timeline or vice -versa. i.e in a day, realistically you can work for 12mhrs (max- assuming no night work i.e 7a.m -6p.m), so in a month (assuming 6 working days) the total hours a single person can work is 288mhours, similarly in a yr that amounts to 3,456mhrs/person. So if we assume it took 300yrs to construct, total number of persons working on that project to accumulate 150million man-hours will be 144persons, which is rather low.

We can also estimate the time it took to complete the construction of the wall based on the 150Million mhours. i.e assuming 3,000persons were deployed full time on the project, it would take 14years to construct.

If another sperm, egg or womb is required to get a couple pregnant, they do not need to commit adultery before getting it.
egg, sperm are products of sex, so in essence surrogacy, artificial insemination can be classed under adultery if a third party is involved, however if its consenting is it still adultery?

Its not advisable. Ask yourself these questions

What if after you do it, she takes in?
What will happen when the child is 10 years of age? Your friend will never see the child as his own.

What if the child born looks exactly like you?
What if after they give birth to your child, they later have theirs? What will happen to yours?

Is this not going to be an act of betrayal?

Because he's your friend, for the sake of friendship don't. Pray for them instead and thank me in 10years to come

he is pretty much resigned to his inability to father a child, hence they confided in me.

So a friend you have not seen in how many years months got to meet you and what he wanted was for you to help him out with his wife? A wife you are clearly not acquainted or familiar with? He just opened up to you that is so busy about something as painful and sensitive as his poor reproductive health and even suggested the wildest of solutions, and the so called wife stripped right there and then

Go and write a better script abeg. We will help you judge that one too
i guess u never went to boarding school and have no idea the bond that keeps childhood friends till adulthood, didn't want to go into details either,,, but i did mention "we kept in touch"

Tell your friend to adopt
his wife wants to feel life inside of her, its killing their relationship, she wants her own baby...
Romance / My Friend's Wife by snthesis(m): 6:56pm On Jun 19, 2023
My childhood friend invited me to his home, he is been married for 8yrs now, with no children, we stay in different states but kept in touch, he has been suggesting a meet-up but i've been busy, finally made out time to travel (tickets on him ) during this Democracy day holiday break.

we ate, drank, gisted late through the night and caught up on old times, with his wife in company, actively engaging, and then he asked if i could get his wife pregnant , and it would be between us, his wifey was also ok with it then she stripped..., and i could see the despair in both their faces (they been through all medical procedures and its pointing towards my friend being impotent), i was the only person they could confide in and sure of keeping their secret...

Is this adultery on their part or not, especially since it is consenting from all parties. Adultery i.e "sex outside marriage", or can this be classified under surrogacy? is surrogacy Adultery?

MrBrownJay1:


if both participant are aware AND agree to the party, it can NEVER BE CONSIDER CHEATING

BTW remember, many highly respected men of the bible had concubines, mistresses baby mamas etc, and were never viewed/punished as sinner--- men like Abraham, king David, king Solomon etc

this is a reverse case, its the man that is impotent, so is that adultery
Religion / Is Surrogacy Adultery? by snthesis(m): 5:01pm On Jun 19, 2023
By definition Adultery is having sex with a married person, in short "sex outside marriage". My question however is when a consenting Couple (Husband and Wife) together invites a Third party for consensual sex with the wife towards having a Child in their union, can this be termed as Adultery? especially when the couple have been trying to have a child for so so long...

Have you asked her?

I see you making several assumptions (majorly negative) about your wife all over the thread.

Perhaps you created this thread as a validation for the negative feelings against her or you are just trolling.

Anyways, good luck.

After 10 years is now she knows you are not romantic? grin grin grin grin grin grin

Oga, she has been on TV and social media too much probably especially Instagram and she has been comparing her life with other girls flashing flas lives.

She is probably also trying to get attention of men and is receiving it on the streets or online. Now she is thinking maybe it was not smart to have married early and she should have lived babygirl life for a while.

She is now just looking at, and reviewing, her life and wondering "Did she pick right? Was this the best she could do? Is this all there is to this fantasy called marriage she dreamt of?".


She will not tell you all these thoughts because she knows it will come across as unreasonable if other people hear this, and she will take the blame.

So, saying that you are not romantic is her strategy of placing accountability and blame with you, and not her emotions and greedy eyes, if it goes wrong and she later decides to explore.

Now she can have a defence of "I told him and he did not change. So it is his fault anything I do!".

Women hate accountability!

deep. ive decided to ignore her, there is a deeper issue, that she isn't revealing, and trying to hide under me not being romantic

3. She feels she missed out on exploring alot when she was younger and she wants to start now

Haha, it’s called midlife crisis.

Just tell her she is right and start the dating process again.
Many of us think our wives are like our mothers . Marry and keep for home. The game is changing bro. I am sure she has a friend on WhatsApp with whom she has discussed this with already.

1. Plan a date nite every week . Go catch a flick and have someone watch the kids.
2. Do something together with the family once a month. Go to Olumo Rock and Beach . A family outing .
3. Don’t forget her birthday make it exciting ( get her flowers or money - depending on her love language)
4. Make an effort to show PDA infront of the kids. Steal a kiss 💋, slap her buttocks , call her sexy mamacita or siren.
5. Make sex impromptu. After coitus , ask would like a glass of water or wine to relax ( she will laugh and say , thank you yes or no )
6. If you are just Spooning dude , change into missionary or doggy . ( now sex and love are not the same) . Massage and ask her where she may want to be touched to excite her …

Make the effort !!! You might not be comfortable doing any of the above but as you mentioned it appears she never “ lived “ done anything she wanted to do . Her first born is 10.
And it’s been mummy this , mummy that !

I would give her the leg chain *

Don’t ignore her warnings or else someone else will fill the void.
her message and yours feels like a threat to me, i dont do threats

Maybe you are actually not romantic but you can change that if you want.

Just a simple
Question, if I was to ask you what your wife love language was do you know it?


Now for your wife, wanting to get a tattoo etc just have a talk with her if that is something you are against.

Also ask her what she means by you not being romantic. Ask her what are things she considered romantic and start implementing those in your relationship. People make relationship harder than it is really.

There was no need to even come online with this, you could have simply have a conversation with her and fix things but your male ego got hurt because she called you unromantic so now you came online and highlight some bad things she’s considering doing just so we can now bad mouth her for those and deflect the attention from on you thereby stroking your own ego.


That is not how marriage work my gee you have to put your ego aside if you want to make it work.


Many people married young when they have no clue even what marriage is all about and what they even really want and then enter their 30s and start questioning all their decisions.


Because the 30s
Is when you truly know who you are and what you really want.
well noted, my point is how can she suddenly just say this and every other thing she's planning to do...

Politics / Re: UK Deputy High Commissioner Lays Wreath At Yaba Cemetery To Mark Remembrance Day by snthesis(m): 9:37am On Nov 12, 2022
impressive, thanks for sharing

naptu2:
Nigerian troops in the two world wars and why the Nigerian High Commissioner will lay a wreath tomorrow.

Kamerun was colonised by Germany, so there were concerns with the outbreak of World War 1 that Nigeria could be attacked by Kamerun/Germany. Troops were mobilised for the defence of Nigeria and for action against Kamerun/Germany. The war on Nigeria's eastern front raged between 1914-1916. Nigerian troops captured Yaounde and Douala and were able to drive the Germans to Spanish Guinea (now Equatorial Guinea) where they were disarmed. The Royal Navy sent some warships to Nigeria to assist with the campaign.

Germany also colonised Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania and parts of Kenya, so Nigerian troops were also deployed to East Africa to fight against the Germans. This phase of the war lasted from 1916-1918 and resulted in a victory for the allies (British Empire [Indians, East, West and South Africans], Belgian and Portuguese forces). At least 2,700 Nigerians died in this campaign.

Nigerians also famously fought in the 2nd World War. Nigerian troops were deployed in 1940 to participate in the defence of Kenya. They also fought in Abyssinia (Ethiopia), Somalia and Sudan. They returned to Nigeria in 1941.

Back in Nigeria, they were deployed to the northern and western borders after France fell, to prevent a possible attack by the Vichy French (there were concerns that the Vichy French would try to invade Nigeria and this resulted in several false alarms in 1941 and 1942).

Their most famous battles in the war were in India and Burma between 1943 - 1945. Many famous Nigerian soldiers, such as Sergeant Hama Kim, Wellington Bassey and Johnson Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi, fought in this phase of the war. They were engaged in intense and brutal fighting against the Japanese in awful conditions.


The BBC has produced several documentaries (on tv and radio) about the exploits of these Africans in South-East Asia. A British journalist, Barnaby Philips, produced a documentary for Al-Jazeera in 2012 called "Burma Boy" in which he tracked down a Nigerian soldier that fought in Burma during World War 2 and got him to tell his story. He also tracked down the children of the Burmese man who sheltered the Nigerian soldier when he got injured and the Japanese were looking for him. Barnaby Philips also wrote a book about Nigerian soldiers who fought in Burma. It's titled "Another Man's War".

Many Nigerian sitcoms in the 1970s and 1980s had a character that was a former major who fought in the 2nd World War (usually in Burma, but also in the Carribeans), eg Sura Di Tailor, Second Chance and Village Headmaster.

Many Nigerian graves remain in cemeteries at the Dalet Chaung near Tamandu, the Rangoon Memorial and the Taukkyan War Cemetery in Burma.

Several barracks in Nigeria are named after places where Nigerian troops fought and died during the 2nd World War. These include Dodan (Ikoyi), An (Yaba), Myohaung (Yaba), Arakan (Apapa), Marda (Yaba) and Tamandu Barracks (Apapa) in Lagos; Letmauk Barracks in Ibadan; Dalet, Mogadishu, Colito and Kalapanzin Barracks in Kaduna; and the Chindit Barracks in Zaria.

Ceremonies were held in certain military cemeteries in Nigeria on the 11th to honour soldiers who died in these wars.

That's why the Nigerian High Commissioner will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in London tomorrow.

Religion / Re: Why Did Judas Betray Jesus by snthesis(m): 3:56pm On Sep 23, 2022
MaxInDHouse:
Greed!
No other person can betray you other than a close confidant so Satan is only careful when it comes to selecting someone to use as a bait. Judas Iscariot cherish money {John 12:4-6} that's why Jesus made him the group's treasurer {John 13:29} but due to greed Judas allowed Satan to manipulate him. It's his love for money that led him into such grievous blunder! 1Timothy 6:9-10

So it may not have been him had it been he is not greedy, Satan is only intelligent, calculative and cunning he has no hold on you if you're sticking to the counsel of our Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus! Matthew 7:24-27 smiley
well i would delve a bit further

1. Judas was obviously carnally minded
2. He didn't fully believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah
3. Judas was logical and his "betrayal" of Jesus was calculative, like most people he wanted a win -win situation i.e in his thinking he felt he had a solution to test if Jesus was truly the Messiah and at the same time make money, so his plan of betraying Jesus could lead to one of two things (a) Jesus would escape and save himself thus proving to Judas that Jesus was truly the Messiah, or (b) if Jesus didn't save Himself that meant that He wasn't the Messiah ,in either case he makes money. Unfortunately for Judas and Most people he didn't understand this verse -Isaiah 55: 8-9 "For my Thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My Ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my Ways", by the time Judas realized his folly, he made another grave mistake of committing suicide.
