₦airaland Forum

JeSoul: He won't be able to reply. I just banned him...he's been a bit of a troublemaker for a while now and the latest thread he opened is the last straw...check his log.

If I remember well, when I commented in christian threads, you hid my comments and banned me, and you JeSoul, told me that I can open my own threads and air my own views there and nobody would disturb me. How come you ban me for doing exactly what you adviced?

Would you rather I asked questions about Jesus' sexuality in christian threads or is it a completely taboo discussion on Nairaland?

JeSoul: It was offensive - and you know it.

No, babe. I didn't know that a drawing of a crucifix is now considered offensive here. Good to know.

Except there are some other threads with crucifix drawings that didn't get the same treatment that I did.
Anyway, I'm not surprised. You are afterall a christian.

manmustwac: @Alfamann
I had to look for it but I eventually found it. JeSoul closed it & put it in the recycle bin. I don't blame her because that picture of Jesus nailed to the cross looks very offensive

That was not Jesus.

^^^ I can see that divergent views and opinions are not tolerated on this forum. At least mine aren't.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]20pounds and plenty space!

the difference between you in Lagos and igbos in other parts of nigeria is you are more successful than them. they got 20pounds like you and they are not less ingenious but they dont have what you have....the land of milk and honey! yorubaland is naturally blessed. it is the origin of man, everyone that step foot in is blessed. ojukwu knew this thats why he wanted to posess it, otherwise he would have headed north with his troops to go and revenge the massacre.[/quote]I have two words for you: Victor Banjo.

And before you start defending him, think of these two more words: Oladipo Diya.

[quote author=reporter?]What is there to be jealous about? That you degrade up the environment, set up a militia, poo all over the
damn place, and many other vices too numerous to list?
You need a brain transplant.[/quote]You are jealous of the igbo man's success. His ingenuity in the face of adversity.
Look. Even this little bump on the road can only make us better and stronger. We will, as always, come out on top.
When your fashiola is looking at the igbo man's mansions and having sleepless nights, he should remember that each one started with 20 pounds only.
We will buy more of your land. Make more money under your noses. And we are just starting to learn the political game. Just wait and see.
Do owambe party and create useless websites. Cut up your faces more. Do juju go up and down. We will always be better than you.

Yoruba jealousy is making them draw bad card. Really bad card.

I am yet to see a yorubaman call for, support, or act towards disintegration.

maybe okwjuku is a tree in yorubaland. Seun please confirm.

Who is ojuikwu? your great uncle?

Stop whinning. Here are your answers:

How would you prove to a blind man that the shirt you are wearing is purple?
There is no way you can prove that to a blind man. What exactly is the point of proving that to a blind man if I may ask?


How would the first boy prove to the other boy in the cartoon that he has an 'atom' rather than a 'baseball'? (To clarify question number two: I meant if the first boy had an atom instead of a baseball, how would he prove it when the second boy asks him to prove he indeed has an Atom.)
He doesn't have to prove he has an atom because he never claimed he has an atom. The day he says, he has an atom, he would need to prove it. Until that day, sir, your question is moot.


How do you expect me to prove to you that I had a dream in which I saw a dog with two heads?
I don't expect you to prove anything. You are freaking free in this world to live your life as you want regardless of my "expectations".

ziga: The Yorubas must be so strong to be holding all these other groups together.

You mean they need other people to survive? They are not capable of self-sustainance?

It seems to me that everybody (maybe not the yorubas) want to be on their own. Northerners want their own country with their sharia laws. Easterners had always wanted independence and have even fought a bloody war for that. Even the so called minorities are clamouring for self determination. MEND, Middle belt youths, etc.
So why are we still together? Is the yorubas holding everybody to ransom or are there some other forces that I don't understand?

seyibrown: More atheists, please! I was expecting better answers than what you have proferred so far!
I am trying to show you that God exists and you are not helping me know how you 'atheistically' expect me to show you!


Logicboy03, darling! Omo Jesu last last! How now?

what if god exists? what then?

Valiantvaliant: any point to support that?

It baffles me you did not deny such.

It baffles me that you may actually have.

It baffles me what goes on in your head.

My book says my god is the right god.

My book is right because my book says you are stuppid if you doubt what it says.

So, as I am not stuppid, my god it the right god.

OK?

Deep Sight: Answers to my questions from Alfaman -

I can safely conclude therefore (unless there is clarification from you) that my inquiries with you are over. Your view of things frankly discloses an evolutionist who does not believe in evolution and also says no intermediate fossils exist. Thank you very much. This much is ok for me to close the discussion on your front.

@ Deep Sight. This is the problem I have with you. You first of all posted yourself as a student who is willing to learn but then started showing that somehow you know more than your teacher. So what are you? Do you want to learn or do you want to teach?
My "one liners" as you call them, are mostly an attempt to put you in the right direction because we do not even agree on what this evolution we are discussing actually is.
After going through your posts again, I realised one thing: you are confusing a lot of things and assuming things without proofs.
Let me give you examples of your confusion.
1- You think humans descended from apes. This is wrong. Humans and apes descended from a common ancestor.
2- You think evolution goes only in one direction. It doesn't. It is called evolution, not linear progression. (e.g. a multicellular organism can develop into a unicellular one if conditions warrant)
3- You believe everything you read on wikipedia.
4- You believe that fossils of every being that have been in existence must exist somewhere. This is suprising coming from you as you know very well that most reconstructions today are based of a tiny part of surviving fossils. I already asked you if you knew what a fossil is but you didn't answer. Please note that 99% of fossils of plants and animals that ever existed have been liquidised and gone forever. Infact, you are currently using those fossils to run your car and power your generators. (And those are just land based)

So I tell you once again, if you want clear answers, ask clear questions about facts. Not things people just imagine must be. Understand evolution first.
Or you can do what have been doing all along and wallow in your ignorance.

Deep Sight: Now, as sleep weighs heavy on my eyes, let me give you the promised summary of questions which I am always compelled to do for you in every discussion. These questions will address the point.

1. Is it the case that life commenced with unicellular organisms. We don't know. Anybody that claims he knows how life started on earth is lying.

2. Is it the case that the progression of the development of life in evolution is understood to be from unicellular - multi-cellular - waterbased/fish - amphibian - reptile - bird - mammal? No. This is not the case. There is no linear progression in evolution.

3. If 2 above is true, is it not the case, that since these transitions were not instantaneous but over millions of years, then millions of species would have existed in between/ part of these general categories? No, " above is false so no "intermediate" species exist.

4. Please show me the fossils that link these general categories. There aren't.

Once you do that, we discuss them. And please do not hedge in the water only.

End of.

Stop talking of things that don't exist. You just sound like a mad man.

Deep Sight: Definitely, the main divisions must indeed be in a straight order. To elucidate crudely - we will not have multicellular before unicellular. And under the theory we will not have land plants before sea plants, or amphibians before fish, or reptiles before amphibians, or birds before reptiles or mammals before birds, or humans before other apes. I hope you can look at the timeline again and therefore see that there is indeed a necessary chronology, with the attendant improbability of development within the time-frame in question?

That's what I thought. You have no clue what evolution actually means.

Deep Sight: Oya, let me kick it off for you teachers. What are your comments on this transitional fossil.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeopteryx

Later now!

Who said it is a transitional fossil? Wikipedia? Scientists?

If you actually do believe in evolution and understand what it means, you will agree that every being that ever lived is a "transitional fossil" of one type or another. Evolution is not static. In 10 million years, your bones might be exposed as a "transitional fossil" of something.

So I say once again. There is no such thing as a transitional fossil. This is what pseudo scientists use to sound intelligent and bamboozle the feeble-minded.

Do you actually know what "fossil" means?

Deep Sight: Like the sort of focus you have failed to give me so far?

For heavens sake there are FAMOUS suggestions for intermediate species which NONE of you have mentioned so far!

Abi you know that those suggestions have problems?

Bed time now!

Try this for focus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synapsid
