SisterMe:all these doesn't really leads me to the god of your book. without scince and the discovery of telescopes we wouldn't even know that we have other planet in our solar system not to think of the billions Suns in our galaxy and the billion galaxy in our space. The only thing we see in your book is how god creates the very insignificant earth its moon and sun...too much emphasis on earth with no information about other planetary body. I dont really believe all these leads to your book god because your book god seems clueless about the space he created. |
SisterMe:since your book is comprehensive enough and Cain wife is an important character....to be gair with her, she deserved to mention. if those days siblings are permitted to marry, why are they not permited now. your book only mentioned Cain and Abel. ..which means they either have no other offspring or God was discriminatory towards female and decided to omit them since they are not important |
SisterMe:comparing your omniscient and powerful god to a man that can't bring food home is ridiculous ar best.... what do you make of a judiciary system that punished an innocent man for the sins of his relative? |
mufutau55:I am from Niger state sir, currently serving in port harcourt. I graduatee from federal university of technology minna, but before then I was a carpenter and form work forman for a small company in Abuja after secondary school. I actually learnt carpentry from a very young age from my dad.. |
mufutau55:Yes sir I am very happy for this conversation. ...you ate 100% on point about your explanation. I am sorry about my last statement ' a well trained carpenter and a civil engineer'. professionally I can't called myself civil engineer until I am a registered civil engineer which will be atleast 4 years post NYSC experience. Back to the main discussion, I always called the stranger rode, a connector. most of the modern houses I had work on uses stranger rope because it is a better alternative than ajagba structurally but more expensive. The added advantage of properly tying down the building, pressing the top block from direct pressure of the wall plate ( hard wood placed on top the block where the tie beams and rafters rest on. so sir, most of the new houses here uses head course and the stranger rode because it is structurally better than lagagala. I am currently in port harcourt and I don't pictures here sir to explain my point |
[quote author=barakah post=28110073]What's head course? head course is a concrete layer after last block layer before the roof. after lintel level in a bungalow, two layers of block is placed on top of the lintel and a week concrete layer is placed on top of the last block to form the ' head course'. a mild steel of R6 is used to form a connectors that will link the roofing ( tie beams) to the wall. these connectors replaces the 'ajagba' and are spaced at 1.2m (4') c/c round the |
mufutau55:yes sir...in the north here ( abuja and it's environs) it is called 'lagalaga' but in the west it is ajagba. the problem with ' ajagba' includes the following: 1. it makes wall Finnishing not be aesthetically ok. 2. Not enough to tied down the roof (wooden tie beam) to the wall plate and to the wall. hence, when there is wind with higher velocity your buulding may be blown away. I am well trained carpenter and a civil engineer sir |
barakah:Bungalows are built using load bearing walls because the loar from the roof are relatively low...exceptions includes, when the bearing capacity of the soil is too poor ( water lodged area), when the sancrete block strength is bellow 14kN/m2 ( there will be cracking developing on such wall in the long run). when and overhead tank is to be placed at that part of the building. I hate the use of "lagalaga" in the building. ..an head course of week concrete running through the building at the roof level with a mild steel connectors spaced at 1.2m (4') could have made ur wok perfect |
barakah:Nice building but you made one mistake I just noted by looking at those picture. You didn't provide head course....I always advice my client and all home owners to always put that in the building because it save alot of stress in future expectially in a site like yours where there are no wind breakers ( trees). In summary, consult somebody when you want to embark on a project like this in future. ...it may be a friend, professionals or online here. all the best bro |
muib:this is the hadith you are trying to twist to support your position: Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 18, Number 167 : Narrated Abu Musa: The sun eclipsed and the Prophet got up, being afraid that it might be the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment). He went to the Mosque and offered the prayer with the longest Qiyam, bowing and in prostration that I had never seen him doing. Then he said, “These signs which Allah sends do not occur because of the life or death of somebody, but Allah makes His worshipers afraid by them. So when you see anything thereof, proceed to remember Allah, invoke Him and ask for His forgiveness.” What we see is that, terrified and clueless as he was, Muhammad could not understand that during an eclipse the two heavenly bodies, Sun and Moon, catch up each other on the sky, from the Earth- bound observer’s viewpoint. He recorded his ignorance in the Qur’an. And I want to ask you: if Muhammad was wise,and guided by Allah, why was he terrified like a schoolboy who thought that he saw a ghost? Today, are you terrified during a solar eclipse, knowing that it is just the natural phenomenon of the Sun going right behind the Moon? What’s so scary about that? You are not scared because you know what is going on. But if Muhammad was terrified, it was because he didn’t know . But how could your prophet not know, if he was a real prophet of Allah’s? How could he say that an eclipse is a sign that Allah sends, when we know exactly when an eclipse will happen, just as we know exactly when it will be Friday? Would you ever say that “Allah send Mondays as signs”? No, it sounds stupid, because we know exactly when it will be Monday. Similarly, to say that “Allah sends eclipses as signs” is equally stupid, because we know exactly when there will be an eclipse. A “sign” is something that cannot be predicted by science or any person. But science predicts eclipseswith absolute precision. How could your prophet sound so ignorant, so unguided by Allah? |
stebell:what nonsense are you talking about? how can oil proceed of 25 billions financed a construction sector of over 200 billions dollars or agricultural sector worth over 500billions dollars etc. oil is a major source of foreign exchange becuase our government are clueless and lacks initiative south Korea with only 55 million poeple, no oil but has a GDP of about 1.5 trillion dollars and with government earning of over 300billions us dollars. They succeeded by developing technical and good labour force that utilized all the materials available to build a solid and dynamic economy. ... keep winning about oil in backward Niger deltas |
LordReed:I love this bro... originality is a bit overrated. most 9f Nigeria problem by easily copy what has been done where. Koreans are producing automobiles because they easily lern and copy american and Japanese model. Internet has made it possible to access information easier. I can dowlaoad lecture note, video tutorials, engineering journals, softwares etc that would normally impossible to buy at open market here in Nigeria. Why committing so much to memory when I have my tablet, computers with internet connections closed to me. information can easily be source now the problem is how to apply the data to better our life. In india a 12 years old boy just built a power plant that powered a village of 300 people through a YouTube video he watched in a missionary school. How many engineering feets have we been able to perform with all our scholars? |
jojotemitopaz:I had read into history and I have been able to come up with the follwing: 36:38 “And the sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him), the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing. 36:39 And the Moon, — We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk. 36:40 It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon , nor can the Night outstrip the Day; each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).” What? “It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon?” The above verse is either ridiculous or wrong, depending on whether we try to understand it from the modern perspective or from the Bedouins’ ( arabs) perspective, respectively. Here is why: From the modern perspective, to say that the Sun tries to catch up the Moon (but is not permitted to do so) is laughably naïve. The Moon’s orbit around the Earth has no overlap with the Sun’s location in space, since the Moon orbits the Earth once in around 27.3 days (the “sidereal month”), and the system Earth–Moon orbits the Sun once per year (see diagram). The orbit of the Moon (gray) around the Earth’s orbit (blue circle) and around the Sun (red, center). Note: not drawn to scale, and also the Moon completes approximately 13 turns in a year, not exactly 13. Observation from this diagram: to say that the Sun, in reality, “tries to catch up the Moon”, makes no sense at all. So, because according to what we know today it is just plain stupid to say that the Sun tries to catch up the Moon, there is only one possibility: that verse 36:40 was said that way for the Bedouins to make some sense of it. But in that case,... it’s wrong again! From the Bedouin’s perspective, seeing the Sun and Moon cruising on the (nonexistent) dome of the “heaven” (the sky), it made some sense to think that the Sun might try to catch up the Moon, and is not permitted by Allah. But that idea is wrong, too, because that’s exactly what happens during a solar eclipse: the Sun catches up the Moon! Oh, no! The Sun caught up the Moon! (Or the Moon caught up the Sun, depending on your perspective.) It happens every once in a while, contrary to what Allah (or was it Muhammad?) boasted about in verse 36:40 , and it’s called a solar eclipse ! Now, part of our data is that ancient peoples did not understand what happens during a solar eclipse. They thought that the Sun simply darkens, and they panicked. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus describes how two ancient armies, the Lydians and the Medians, stopped fighting and agreed to make peace, terrified during a solar eclipse that took place while they were engaged in battle (Herodotus: Histories, Book 1, §74). Ancient people could not understand that the dark region of the Sun during an eclipse is the Moon, which the Sun “catches up” and overtakes from the viewpoint of the observer on the Earth, contrary to the claim of verse 36:40 . so you think such book should be trusted with my life |
jojotemitopaz:please don't get me started on the position of Quran about the shape of the earth. what do you people think when someone disagree with things that are not logical? |
PenSniper:They know nothing an astrology....it is actually based on some nomads, living in a very harsh condition and one of them at age 40 decided to visit a cave and started putting a believe system based on what he observed and heard. A system that will make him get all the women he ever lust for, all the wealth he ever wanted and all the political power he ever wanted. He was successful in getting that to those primitive |
Empiree:ou believe that a deceased person saw by a relative is an illusion while the person in him is a jin because it was written in a book you believe in....where is the logic in that statement. it is easier to believe the peraon that says it is the dead person taking another form than to belive in your own tale.....btw both of you are wrong, no jin and no akudaya. when you die you are dead, no life before death and no life after death, no milk, no virgin etx |
fightforchange1:yea different type of yorubas... do I look like a yoruba? |

fightforchange1: |
fightforchange1:love it when ladies keep it simple...no make up, no attachments etc...you one big fine girl |
all4naija:you are a fool |
all4naija:I hate abuse but ignorance more...No culture is an island, people borrow element from other cultures to developed. Japan was a good case that we all need to learn from. All the technological advancement was down to Japanese culture, people and yes LANGUAGE. Japan was initially an agrarian society ( just like how Europeans were before the industrial revolution in Britain in the 18th century) under the leadership of an emperors they started having contact with European through trading and when they got in contact with the Dutch, British etc. They translate these principles into japanese language so that it can be understood by their people. These developments would never have arisen, however, without an abundant source of low priced and docile manpower and convenient access to raw materials, the latter—though vital— were (and still are) exceedingly rare in Japan. Access to both were important factors in Japan's rapid industrial development. The average Japanese industrial worker worked long hours for a low salary. Before 1940, more than 90% of workers received less than US$7 per week. In later years, average pay rose by 50%, but the cost of living—the articles and services for which one needs salary— rose as well. In peacetime, the Japanese work week averaged 56 hours, compared with 35 hours in the United States and 39 hours in France. Furthermore, the war effort exposed a marked scarcity of specialized workers |
daryoor:bibles were written by people we are more intelligent that in present world contest...I wonder why people still attach meaning to a ridiculous book like bible |
Yunus2012:I have been able to proof that heaven is an illusion, what else do u want? |
marvelito:I don't believe. ..pictures or I don't believe |
Teespice:I believe when I marry a woman, I marry her because she is the best and someone I will spend the rest of my life with not because of her virginal. .. the problem is religion and society view women as a mere working virginal or sex object. sex is part but never more 5% of what marriage should be all about...in such a case, bleeping another woman will never come to mind becuase all women have virginal why risky your life on some LovePeddler because of something you will get readily available at home at your own comfort |
zeb04:you are too beautiful to be cheated....ni man in his right senses will have a beautiful woman like you and at thesame time decide ti cheat or caught in the act |
