What has happened is now in the past and you have to learn from it and move on . I think first you have to develop a reputation for yourself on how you deal with debtors - this will be for a long time but soon enough word will spread. You can use her as an example so that others will learn from it ; forget what this might cost you short term but it will certainly help in the long run .Better to be feared and respected than to be liked . You'd have this reputation as someone who means business and business alone .Or if you wish to be diplomatic about it , have a personal talk with her and find out why she hasn't paid her debt . Whatever her reason is , let her know this is not how you do business and be very stern about it .

Before you give out your layers on credit , try to find out if the person has a reputation of paying back his or her debt as at when due so you won't be in this mess next time .

Your age has nothing to do with this bro , the perception people have of you does . Possibly, she thought you are the push over type , easily intimated , naive etc and that's why she took advantage . Change it - this is your chance .

That's sad.
So he can't really do anything about the debt?

I'm interested in seeing his O'level result.

He had first class honors in his Bsc and also a Harvard Business School alumni, do you really think his O'level would be bad?

Wirinet i really want to know the answer to this.

Nice one.
Congratulations.

Is it that nobody has the heart to break it to the senile old Thief Obasanjo, that his tenure ended a decade ago.

Who is paying for all this his useless galavanting ?

He has the money to fund his "gallivanting".

CEEcey:
Not implying, Am saying it

No foreign lady can be good enough for our brother!!!

Because you said so?

OLAADEGBU:
You continue to use fallible man's interpretation of the timeline instead of the historical record given in the book of Genesis. Jesus has the final say on this matter as far as am concerned, to you Jesus may be a mythological figure but if you are wise you will listen to what He had to say as to the age of the earth.

"But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female.'" (Mark 10:6).

From the verse above, Jesus taught that the creation was young and that Adam and Eve existed "from the beginning" not millions or billions of years after the cosmos and earth came to being. Whose report would you believe? I have believed the report of the Lord.

Sir, this biblical timeline was calculated solely based on the bible.
So what are you saying?

I'm telling you to use your biblical dating(not science now) to prove your point, shouldn't that be easy if what you saying makes sense.

CEEcey:

Ava and Mia?
Na Igbo name be that?

Better come back home and marry a good Igbo girl from
the village.

You're implying that Olga ain't good.

Cool...

OLAADEGBU:
I can see that you have chosen to see the evidence through evolution spectacles and not through the Word of God. Below is an excerpt of what is in the link I suggested and it's available to all sincere seekers of the truth who are not swayed by faulty man's interpretation of the evidence.



It's either you are a biblical creationist or an evolutionist there's nothing like an theist evolutionist. Both prepositions are mutually exclusive.

Mr. Man what are you saying.

There are historical records of Chinese, Sumerians, Egyptians, and many more traditions at that time frame for goodness sake.

But let me not even use that to debunk this, let's use the bible.

This is the biblical timeline: http://biblehub.com/timeline/
Now pick any event from the early phase of the bible like Job's suffering, famine in canaan, Gideon and the thousand of armies he fought and many more and then match it with the period it was recorded to have happened(according to the link above or any resource you have) and see for yourself how ridiculous your calculation is.

KingEbukasBlog:
Islam is not based on the life of Muhammed

Interesting.
Tell me how they differ from Christians.

Yes .

There have been human deities - ancient emperors of China , Japan ; ancient Pharaohs of Egypt ; Julius Caeser ; Mary the mother of Jesus ; Jesus Christ Himself , there are so many my brother .

If you deify anything you are a theist , if you don't deify anything you are an atheist . Its pretty simple

Interesting play on definitions, but weird logic...

Have you been taking some youknowwhat? just asking...

So pick a human that is an atheist?
Well from your next post, i know the answer none.
Therefore they are hardly any atheist from what i can infer from these right?

KingEbukasBlog:
@4kings

You are smart enough to see how deficient the current definition of atheism is .


Non-belief in God/gods

Replace 'God/god' with entities that have been deified .


Non-belief in universe(universe deified by pantheist as God )
Non-belief in Sun (The Sun deified by pagans )
Non-belief in the Moon (The Moon deified by pagans)
Non-belief in Julius Caeser (Caeser was deified after his death)

etc

How does this make any sense ? You reason am na

There is no deficiency, you just have to get an established definition, words are subjective and can translate to different things if not put in the right context.

Okay, John 3: 16 says For god so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. (hope i got that right.)
Now if like you, i was to carelessly make a meaning out of this;
It will imply that all Christians regardless of their behaviors as far as they believe in Jesus are saved from perishing and qualify for everlasting life, including likes of Adolf Hitler, Matthew Hale, Fred Phelps, the crusade and witch hunting priests and so on, right?

Let me see how you handle this differently from atheism.

KingEbukasBlog:
Is Islam based on life of Moh'?

Just as much as christians is based on the life of jesus.

This does not make any sense .

I'm a theist because I deify something - the First Cause . And I reject the deification of other entities . I become an atheist when I reject any sort of deification of any entity

Seriously man , if you have no serious rebuttal quit and you need to stop wasting my time .

I deify my babe(an entity) in bed, does that make me a theist?

KingEbukasBlog:
@4kings
Atheism is the opposite of Theism not Religion . Religion is not theism neither is it atheism . Religion can involve atheists , theists , agnostics etc .

Well religion is a "belief system" so i get your point.
Which makes the "belief system" and the definition of "atheists"(as you classified) subjective.

KingEbukasBlog:
A Christian is simply a follower of Christ . This has been interpreted in various forms - it may or may not incorporate the view that Christ is divine or a deity . Arianism , which is in fact a Christian doctrine though considered heretical , that Christ is divine but not a deity - this view does not mean an Arian isn't a Christian .

Just like a muslim is simply the follower of Mohammed right?

Atheism is the rejection of deification of an entity and with this definition an atheist can reject the deification of Christ but still follow his moral teachings and/or his way of life that does not involve God like his life of austerity , his life of pacifism or deprecation for violence etc . There are already atheist Christians - its a thing whether you like it or not .

Stop parading this your "rejection of deification", you're also an atheist for not deifying Zeus. So you're also an atheist christian lol.
This is why a definition has to be established, like Johnydonn22 pointed out.

@SirJohn Very interesting...

Interesting. I thought rabbits would be very expensive.

Interesting.

OLAADEGBU:
A link was cited in that link that addressed your questions. Check it out.

https://answersingenesis.org/evidence-against-evolution/billions-of-people-in-thousands-of-years/?sitehist=1509826282828

From what i've learnt, in the 20th century there were less than 1 billion humans on earth but due to some factors the population grew at a significant rate to what we have today. This alone makes the basis of your calculation flawed.

Now according to a research by Colin McEvedy and Richard Jones, world's population during 5000bc was 5million, UN report also reveals that it was 5 million.

From your calculation after 900 years(150*6) world's population(during 5-4000bc) would be 128. This is madness.
So...

OLAADEGBU:
Let's stick for now on how "we can calculate the years of human existence with the population doubling every 150 years." Do you agree with this calculation?

Can't you see the explanation is vague.
What's the starting population for their calculation? and how did they determine the population would double every 150 years, considering wars, famine, ugly women and so on.

Very useful, thanks.

OLAADEGBU:
"Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Add thou not unto His Words, lest He reprove theem, and thou be found a liar" (Proverbs 30:5-6).

It is an indirect salvation issue as well as an authority issue. Claiming millions of years for the age of the earth is an authority issue especially for the generation coming behind us. There's no point explaining questions to them outside of the Bible.

See the link below and find out how it is mathematically possible "for Noah's four sons to produce 6 billion people in less than 5000 years."

https://answersingenesis.org/evidence-for-creation/six-evidences-of-young-earth/

I believe this is what you're talking about:

Evidence 5 Anthropology: Human Population Growth
It’s amazing what basic mathematics can show us about the age of the earth. We can calculate the years of human existence with the population doubling every 150 years (a very conservative figure) to get an estimate of what the world’s population should be after any given period of time.

A biblical age of the earth (about 6,000 years) is consistent with the numbers yielded by such a calculation. In contrast, even a conservative evolutionary age of 50,000 years comes out to a staggering, impossibly high figure of 10 to the 99th power—greater than the number of atoms in the universe!

Clearly, the claim that humans have inhabited the earth for tens of thousands of years is absurd!

Can you make sense outta this?

And on dating, you do realise that all other radiometric datings point to a universe older than 6000 years and using Rhenium–osmium dating diamonds are still older than what your link postulated.

I am female who is interested in ml but getting started is my problem. Couldn't get any help from Google tho I I have been able to install few lib(numpy,pandas,ipython,and like other three).

You can check this or this(preferably if you want to go hardcore)

Just start if you have any issues you can google or ask here on Nairaland.

You meant slack right?

Cool.

Bitbucket.

KingEbukasBlog:
Now , I really don't know where this argument is heading to ? Are you denying that the classical deists were never deists because of what they believed in ?

Hmm, let me put it this way: Are you denying that the priests were never Christians(or inspired by God like they said) because of what they did ?
Your explanation to this is your answer.

Are you denying that there are religious atheists ?

Just like they're Christians who kill for Jesus sake.

And by the way , a major tenet of Confucianism is the veneration and worship of ancestral spirits . Disembodied minds like spirits are incongruous with materialism

Huh? how does this affect my point, or are you just letting me know?

KingEbukasBlog:
I think you misconstrued my point my man . Revealed theology the foundation of theistic religions claim that their beliefs were revealed to them by a deity . The deists repudiate this claim because they believe God does not intervene in human affairs or the world therefore cannot make such revelations thus rejection religion . Now remember , the deists make deductions through logic and reason and because of this through reason , they created the concept of after-life and the reward-punishment system . Why? Perhaps , it makes sense that since God ingrained morality in man then man must be rewarded or punished for his actions . Remember , its the after-life , perhaps , another dimension , not the world which God gets involved in . This ideology was not gotten by revelation but by pure reason .

Ebuka is this a joke...
If God's attribute is meant to be unknown cos of noninterference then any attribute given to it is but a supposition and is similar to what the religious do.
Going by your logic then, one(that claims he/she is a deist) can assert that our actions have all been predestined.

Atheism rejects deification - this is correct definition . I explained why here of course it is open for scrutiny and refutation- which no one has done yet after close to 15k views . The problem is : you conflate materialism , naturalism , realism as atheism . There are atheists who not materialists , naturalists etc . And that's why you are struggling to understand that atheists can be religious .

Wow, what's the difference with what you explained and someone who is religious in a particular doctrine but rejects deification of other religions.
Answer is None, why because they're both religious.

When an atheist defines atheism as the non-belief in God/gods , if you try to fit this definition into what humans have deified and what philosophical and theological positions views as God , you'd surely run into problems . Eg A pantheist sees the universe as God . Now you the orthodox definition of atheism which is the non-belief in the universe .

Clear definition is your problem here.

Now , does this make any sense ? But use my definition which is the rejection of deification of an entity and you'd see how it is congruous with the position of an atheist : The atheist does not the see the universe as a deity . With this understanding of what has been explained , atheists can be part of various religions , non theistic and theistic .

Now this is why an established definition is your problem.
JackBizzle(no offence) probably regard his lady as god in bed and deifies her for as long their rendezvous last.
Now on a serious note, god here is applied like the pantheist apply them and deification by definition is not a problem here. So there you go...

For the unaffiliated , this is pretty simple . I can belong to no religion in particular but have views which can be considered religious .Eg reincarnation , after-life . Being unaffliated means you don't have any religion you belong to in particular OR you consider you religion as a lifestyle like the Taoists ,Confucians and Christians do

How did you put Christians up there? was that a typo? lol
Anyways, Confucius believe in forces (ying and yang) that controls the universe just like those who believe in karma and the pantheist, now this is very incompatible with the mainstream materialist atheists.
This sounds religious to me, the believe in a supernatural force (God or no God), that's why i also consider Buddha religious .
This is why i said to leave them outta this cos of lack of established definition.

Wetin i dey read sha...
KingEbukasBlog can you tell me how intentional states of consciousness does not require objects?

TheSonOfJesus:
Christ embassy, any church not preaching fundamentalism

So churches that preach based on scientific ignorance like stars falling to earth are real?
Clap for ya sef...

JackBizzle:
The simple fact that you are too biased to see is that religion (islam and xtianity) is only growing as a result of high number of births and not conversions.

On point, that's why the stats will be faulty in reality cos of science...

JackBizzle:
Because I once thought that it was jesus

Oh...
