I think raumdeuter is Ọ̀dádá he set a JAMB question and disappears into thin air without contributing a single comment on the issue.
Oga, come out from your hiding o, we want to hear yours too.

BTW, if you are in a dilemma and you are to choose between two evils, the lesser one will be chosen, So I don't expect any Chelsea fan to support or give Barca any encomium for that feat from 2008-12 judging by what transpired between the two clubs, but without being biased, I don't think any club can have a complete team like that of Barca's 2008-2012 in this era.

The question should be 'Which is better'

Barca was good then. But they are overrated. Too many magomago by UEFA.

If VAR had been introduced then, we wouldn't be having this discussion as technology would have exposed many questionable calls by refs that clearly favored Barca.

At the moment, Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world. Uefalona no reach

ThierryJay:
This will always be a subjective question. However, majority of the informed football ecosystem generally regard Barca 2008 - 2011 as the zenith of quality club football of all time simply because they displayed an unprecedented level of technique and domination of opponents never seen before at that level.

On the national team front, Brazil 1970 and Spain 2008 - 2012 are generally considered the greatest.

Lols, majority? Says who? Do you have a source where you and these your majority voted and came to that conclusion? Lols.

Barca no even reach. Real Madrid is the numero uno. Make una rest with agenda and ridiculous assertions.

What's Sterling still doing in Chelsea? He should have been one of the first players sold.

ItisHi:
Selling all your senior players is just a dumb move

My thoughts exactly. But we won't be playing CL, so the effect might be minimal.

I honestly think this translation isn't necessary.

Do you know that the African continent has more than 50 thousand different languages? Are you advocating we start translating all modern knowledge to all the languages?

Anyone doing this is on a pipe dream, it will never be mass adopted?
We need to stop creating more avenues for division as a specie and embrace factors that unite us more. I dream of a day where every human being on this planet can speak to and understand each other perfectly irrespective of what continent the person comes from. A single unipolar language. That will aid us see ourselves as one. Not more language barriers being set up.

I don't have the time for senseless discussion on Nairaland. I clearly mentioned intelligent people in the post you quoted.

Obviously, anyone that believes African cultures are barbaric and savage and should be abolished isn't worth my time.

Such a person demonstrates low intelligence. Go preach to the over 3.5 billion of Asians (nearly 40% of the world's population) teaching STEM in their native languages to adopt English as a unipolar language.

Mumu, I'll simply bin your mentions on this subject henceforth.

BlueRayDick:
Yesterday I heard a senior civil servant complaining bitterly how he has bought fuel worth 35k within 8 days for commuting from his house on the mainland to his office on the island . He was saying “Lori salary elo ?” ( On top how much salary ?)

That is just one of the realities that has manifested . Many more will come; as things will be expensive going forward .

When people say stuff like “ Things will get tough first but it will get better in the long run “, I really think people don’t know how long “the long run” will be before it comes (That is if it ever comes ). I hope people know malaria that private hospital will treat u for say 10k-15k May go as high as 50k-60k because even their own cost of operations will increase. It is easy for people we see on TV (who belong to the upper class ) talking about how we all need to endure and weather the storm , but it’s something else seeing people in the middle class and lower struggle to cope with the new economic realities .

It’s not just about food or fuel, it’s about almost everything .

You're right. But food and fuel are the most important for the common man. If fuel prices rise further, there will be further increases in the prices of food items.

When foods are too expensive for the common man, that's anarchy looming. Even you that can still cope won't have peace of mind when there are so many hungry people around.

It's a recipe for disaster.

I'd like to urge intelligent and creative members here to replicate these laudable initiatives in their native languages such as Igbo, Ebira, Ijaw, and others. Science should be accessible to all in their mother tongue, not primarily in English language as we've currently.

When we've many of such platforms like Science in Yoruba on FB teaching Nigerians the basics of science in their native language and how to apply the scientific method in their everyday life, the country can develop faster and achieve more progress, especially in science and technology.

"I just did a special session presentation at the 54th Annual Conference on African Linguistics at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut, where I talked about the amazing projects that are currently indigenizing/decolonizing STEM knowledge for the Yoruba people.

"The title of the presentation which I put together with Raji Lateef is “Decolonizing context models in Africa: An analysis of discourses surrounding STEM knowledge in Yoruba”.

"I first talked about these projects in order of their emergence on social media platforms as follows:

Association of Educators of Science and Technology in Yorùbá Language (August 2017- present): https://www.facebook.com/AESTYL

All I'm concerned about right now is how the recent news about FX from CBN will affect the prices of petrol, foods, and other items in Nigerian markets.

That petrol price na the koko for now

Did it in Alausa.

Big thank you to everyone here who helped in providing the needed guidance.

Please, is it 64-page (5 or 10 years) or 34-page? And is passport renewal faster than a fresh application?

I'm reading "art of thinking clearly" by Dobeli and I'm on number 12, this excerpt exposeswhat our politicians keep doing


Suppose you're the president of a country and have no idea how to run it. What do you do? You predict “difficult years” ahead, ask your citizens to“tighten their belts,” and then promise to improve the situation only after this “delicate stage” of “cleansing,” “purification,” and “restructuring.” Naturally you leave the duration and severity of the period open.

In conclusion: If someone says, “It’ll get worse before it gets better,”you should hear alarm bells ringing.

Great book. I read it in 2021 but didn't finish it because it's a bit voluminous, and I had tons of other books to read.

Congrats to Pep and Man City. Guardiola is a genius and great manager. But he remains a checkbook manager nevertheless.

Why is it that when people are boxed in a corner, they begin to exhibit the rottenness in their hearts. It's a pity that you can't define a Being as whatever is conscious!

Have a good night rest

I don't know why you can't reason beyond the tales meant for children in your Bible. Why must be the Universal Consciousness or Universal Mind be a lowly human or lowly Yahweh?

Because the ridiculous biblical stories with their thousands of errors and contradictions say so?

It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Humans are very limited, and your Yahweh too is very limited.

The Universal Mind is simply a system, and we're all fractions of this infinite whole. An it.

Like I said before, it's more probable for the Universe to be a conscious system that evolved from Nothing than for it to be created by a small god like Yahweh or any of the remaining thousands of religious gods.

Yahweh is useless and immaterial.

TenQ:
Meaning that this is just a postulate and you are hoping for future validation.


You said:

My response was that:

This I said because the universal Consciousness or Universal Mind Exist exist without the materials (brain is made of matter)


I've tried to use the term with you as

I think (going by your definition of the source as) Universal Consciousness or Universal Mind that Exist before the Universe should be a PERSON what we Christians call God!

You don't have to agree with our definition

The Universal Consciousness or Universal Mind I stated isn't your small, vengeful god, Yahweh. No. It's not a person, but a system, the superposition of all individual minds and consciousnesses in the Universe.

Your Yahweh is immaterial and useless in this discussion.

The public funds embezzled by Nigerian politicians annually will amount to hundreds of trillions of naira at least. If not for corruption, Nigeria should be among the richest or upper-income countries in Africa and in the world.

Segedinho:
Apparently,it is the same Sirika that bought 10 firefighting trucks for 12billions...


Aradugbo

Poor countries where politicians steal public funds regularly in billions of naira. Have you seen such a "poor country" anywhere in the world?

raumdeuter:
We no dey gree easily like that o. We go argue am

Na Wikipedia go kill an argument? How low will Nairaland's arguments get? Lols.

The World Bank, one of the key authorities on the subject, no kill argument but na common Wikipedia.

You only use Wikipedia among people of low education levels. Or you quote common Wikipedia in your company's report?

raumdeuter:
If Africa is the poorest continent
And Nigeria is mid in Africa then where does that put us?

E.g if you say in leagues in Europe, Cyprus has the poorest now you are talking about a midtable team in Cyprus. So where will that country rank when considering all leagues in Europe?

The World Bank reports I posted earlier already settled the argument, bro. You don't argue with facts. Do you?

The world's poor or low-income countries and middle-income countries are clearly listed on the World Bank websites. No need for unnecessary back-and-forth or amalonomics on a clear issue.

TenQ:
Meaning that this is just a postulate and you are hoping for future validation.
Suppose this never happens?

So far, many ideas put forward by scientists conducting consciousness studies are postulates or propositions. I thought I made that clear already, and then, those papers I shared explained that. One step before the other. Some of the ideas could be confirmed empirically sooner or later.

TenQ:
Unfortunately, the Universal Consciousness or Universal Mind Exist exist without the materials that brains are made of. So, for the Universal Consciousness or Universal Mind Exist, how does the brain create an illusion of consciousness?

This statement isn't clear. If you're expecting scientists to confirm a being called Yahweh is the creator of the Universe, you'll wait forever as Yahweh is just one of the thousands of gods in existence claiming to be the creator of the Universe.

God is just a word. A mere word.

It's more probable for the Universe to be a conscious system that emerged from Nothing than for the Universe to be created by all these your small gods of religion like Jehovah.

TenQ:
Deterministic: Set forth according to some laws, direction, purpose and principles
Random: meaningless incoordination set of actions
Deterministic- Yes!
Random- No!

Except if that which determines decided to set forth some situations where statistical chance is the objective.


Are these TWO this statements below true or False?
If the System is a MIND, then it must be Conscious.
If the System is Conscious, then it must be a Being.

As said earlier, chance or randomness is inherent in nature, as explained in Quantum Physics. Life is both deterministic (especially at the macroscopic scale) and random (probabilistic, especially at the sub-atomic or microscopic scale).

If your background in Physics is solid, you should understand this clearly, especially if you understand the distinction between Classical or Newtonian Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics.

Lols, a massive scam. NigerArea itself, or rather Nigeria, is another grand scam of the British.

TenQ:
I understand the principle of superposition of waves from my A'Level Physics however, I don't see the connection with consciousness, mind and matter.

Don't worry. You'll get the connection later when scientists successfully incorporate consciousness into Physics. Several research efforts and programs are underway to achieve this.

TenQ:
You didn't answer these questions of mine:
1. Can a system be Conscious but not a Being?

Yes. It's your brain creating an illusion of a being, instead of just consciousness and energy existing.

TenQ:
2. Is the quest of achieving a specific purpose or function something derived from Deliberate or Random actions?

This will help us comprehend the nature of this "System"

It's both deterministic and random (probabilistic). The truth is, chance or randomness is inherent in nature, as explained in Quantum Physics, yet many natural phenomena are deterministic, especially at the macroscopic scale.

monerozi5590:
Their hatred is purely based on ignorance. Social Media is a big factor to this.

They should come out with their full chest and say t[b]hey hate Hausa muslims or Hausa instead of saying Northerners[/b].

They are so many indigenous tribes in the North that are Christians. They are Hausas that are Christians. They are Fulanis that are Christians.

Personally, I don't hate Hausas or northerners. But I detest the system called the Fulani oligarchy due to their hegemonic influences over the other ethnic groups in the country, and I also detest the fact that the Britons put power in the hands of the Fulanis.

TenQ:
Here, I agree with you. If space, time and matter doesn't exist, then the Universe doesn exist.


I see that you are willing to concede that the Universal Consciousness or Universal Mind Exist before the Universe BUT you OBJECT that he's a person ( but a System).

What then is a System:
A system is a set of interconnected or interrelated components or parts that work together to achieve a specific purpose or function.

1. Can a system be Conscious but not a Being?
2. Is the quest of achieving a specific purpose or function something derived from Deliberate or Random action?

I think (going by your definition of the source as) Universal Consciousness or Universal Mind that Exist before the Universe should be a PERSON!

My argument:
If a system is conscious, such must be a Living Personality!

What do you think?

Not a person, but a system: A superposition or summation of all individual minds and consciousnesses in the Universe connected as one. I regard all things (both living and non-living) in the Universe as interconnected.

If you know the principle of superposition of waves in Physics, you should understand this.
