I cannot for the reason of me, understand why Nigerian telecoms services haven't started offering bundles with internet services provided by fiber networks. Obviously, not every has fiber in their area but offering a data plan, may unlimited sms and call plan is a no brainer to people who are paying for fiber internet just like they do in the UK. It not only simplifies their offerings, it gives them a regular income from people most likely to be using them less and less. MTN already offers fiber, all they have to do is offer it since it is all in house. Airtel can partner with fiberOne. Keeping locked in to their ecosystem. Unlimited sms, calls and maybe even unlimited mobile internet at an increased price. Nigeria sha. People are just unwilling to experiment when the roadmaps are already there. |
I am hearing they are open now. I have checked the NYSC site but havent seen anything. Can anyone else confirm? |
Hi Guys, I did a masters after graduating and I am yet to do my NYSC. I have asked my University to add my name to the list. How and where do I check if the NYSC portal is open so I can register? |

You're still a just Christian.. You still believe people of other religions will go to hell and good Christians who believe in Jesus will go to heaven.. You're a bit different though.. So I'll call you a new-age Christian.. |

crazygod: Too bad I haven't watched any movie listed by the Op. Maybe because I watch more of block busters. Best I've watched this yearNONE of the movies on your list are gonna be nominated for the Oscars |
Fruitville Station should definitely be in the top 3.. |
Mprex: God av mercy on ur perishin soul. Amen!Keep your prayers to yourself.. kambo: only a fool will look at a well designed machine and conclude it came about from a random chaotic process.Evolution is Neither Random nor Chaotic... You clearly don't understand it.. |
kolawaxxy: what else caused it??He's not asking what but how... Did he create the universe from nothing? |
These 2 groups of people are bearly different.. They pretty much believe the same thing except that Nigerian Christians are more discrete and less offensive.. Infact, I think members of the Westboro Baptist church are more tolerant than Nigerian Christians simply because they are not as aggressive even though they say hurtful stuff. Nigerian Christians are more discrete simply because of how sensitive Nigerians are religiously.. Infact Nigeria is the type of society the members of the Westboro Baptist church talk about. They say Homosexuality should be a crime, Nigerians want them dead.. Nigeria is a country filled with extremists and fundamentalists.. |
Why does this god want us to worship him so much? Does he gain power from our worship? |
Instead of atheist you should change it to non-religious.. |
Chei R.I.P Life is short |
All hail the Google God |
Deluded folk... When are u gonna free yourselves from this mental slavery |
FrostyZonn: What's your point??They have no obligation to tell you what they truly believe.. Not doing so doesn't make them anything less of who they are.. |
FrostyZonn: Those that denied their faith weren't, yes.And u are equating Belief to Non-Belief... Not believing is the only requirement to being an atheist... Lying about it is just that, LYING! It doesn't make u any less of an atheist. |
FrostyZonn: What defines you is what you identify as in public, nothing short of that makes a yellow bellied, weak livered.Then all early Christians who were persecuted were not real Christians by your reasoning... |
@FrostyZonn If a christian believed the gospel in his heart/in private but acted like a Muslim in public for fear of discrimination (E.g in Saudi Arabia).. Does that make him a fake Christian? A fake Muslim yes... It all depends on what you believe behind closed doors. That's what defines us... So saying closet atheists are fake atheists is grossly absurd. |
double post.. |
When I first started using Nairaland back in 2008 I was a skeptic. Nairaland and other things changed me into a deist. Watching YouTube videos of "The Atheist Experience" changed me into an agnostic... The only thing stopping me from calling myself an atheist now is that I don't like the label The Atheist experience really opened my eyes.. I'm still in the closet though, but almost everyone knows I don't give two sh*ts about religion. |
remecy: OP,that you are 19 and privileged to be in uni, is not a yardstick that you must fall in love. Actually what you feel right now is infatuation cos before you clock 25yrs,You would have fallen in and out of LOVE.I never said she was a distraction from my studies.. I'm not the kind of person that will let a girl (no matter how much I'm into her) ruin my future... |
otooro: the words: hopeless and love, usually don't mix in the context u're using them.marriage ke? Too young to even dream of that... All I knw is dat I'm intensely attracted to her in a non-sexual way... I just want to be with her for now and even that's secondary to other really impt parts of my life like passing my exams... I've always kinda had full control over my emotions but that's just not the case with her |

^^^If u hv something to say pls say it... |
I'm scared someone might show interest while I'm playing hard to get... I think she is REALLY pretty and she knows this... My friends say I'm the only one that thinks that... |
Hey Nairaland, I'm a 19 year old studying xxxx in the university of xxxxx... I've never felt anything for any girl that is as serious as what I feel now. Basically, I'm not that shy... I've talked to her quite a bit, even asked her out twice but she always said she was busy. I Felt absolutely no effort on her side which I deduced as her not being interested. She very fond of this other dude who is into another girl (I know cus the girl is my friend and I'm rather close to his other friends). Anyway, I tried getting over her (didn't work), but now she's showing a lil bit of interest in me. This all started when I started acting like I didn't care anymore... Now I'm unsure of what to do... Should I ask her out again? Or should I try to lose interest? Pls advice.. |
Djtm: 6k yrs since the creation of man and not the creation of the earth. The bible never said anything about the earth being created at the same time man was created.*MASSIVE FACE PALM* When I see ignorance like this I weep... There are entire cities discovered that date to 7000BC... Not to mention cave drawings done by cave men that lived as far back as 25000BChttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_painting |
before I start part 2, I would like to point out some issues I have with evolution at that stage in part 1. How did reproduction begin? The process of evolution depends greatly on reproduction and so cells could not have evolved a means of reproducing (asexually).. I'm open to any explanation but it has to make sense, if not, you'll just be fooling yourself PART 2 [img]http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/images/endosymbiosis/cells.gif[/img] The Evolution of Prokaryotes to Eukaryotes is well understood... The main difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is that eukaryotes have membrane bounded organelles while prokaryotes do not.. So how exactly did this membranes around organelles come about? The best evidence we have right now suggests that some prokaryotic cells incorporated other cells, with their own DNA, into their structure -- and that was the change. That's supported by the fact that mitochondrial DNA is separate from and different than the "main" cell's DNA, and is contained only in the nucleus of cells. It makes sense. If there was a simple cell around that was processing food and putting out a "waste product" that was useful to another type of single- celled organism that was perhaps a bit larger, the larger cell could incorporate the smaller cell inside itself, feed it nutrients, and then use its "waste" output for its own purposes -- a symbiotic relationship. They may have started out as two cells latching onto each other side-by-side, and over time that symbiotic relationship evolved so that the smaller cell could exist inside the larger one, and eventually linking the two together in a permanent symbiotic relationship.

ooman: First Nigerian i know to claim deism. You got evolution right, most of which you googled. Anyway, since you are a deist. Let me just tell you how the universe started, since that is the only reason you doubt atheism.That is not even the main reason I doubt atheism And of course I googled part of it..I can't just pull out numbers from my ass and expect people to believe it.. And What proof do u have that this chaotic egg just appeared from nowhere.. Plus, according to the theory,it wasn't a chaotic egg but a giant black hole that imploded on it self...The only theory that explains it well is string theory and that gives more problems.. This thread is strictly for evolution The method of organic evolution you mentioned has serious issues as it leaves a lot to assumptions; such as the type of proteins that existed then, the environment then,etc.. I need more evidence before I can accept organic evolution as fact... With all your observing I'd like to know how to confirmed the big b@ng.. As for me, I try to understand it then I use taught experiments to yest them... |
https://www.biography.com/imported/images/Biography/Images/Profiles/D/Charles-Darwin-9266433-1-402.jpg Evolution has always a topic of discussion in the religion section.. I got bored of reading people making baseless claims on evolution, so I created this thread to improve their understanding... Depending on your religious views you probably support or reject evolution... I, myself am a deist so I could either support or reject it as my religious views don't oppose or support it... I;m not going to talk about the origin of life,(i.e the first micro-organisms) since its a disputed topic.. Before I begin, there are a few things I'm gonna use as a base for my explaining 1. Age of the Earth (4.54 billion years) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_Earth 2. That everyone reading this is Educated.. [img]http://www.paulbailey.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/evolution.jpg[/img] Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. There are 6 stages of evolution 1. From the origin of life to the ”Last Common Ancestor" 2. Prokaryote diversification 3. Unicellular eukaryote diversification 4. Multicellularity 5. Invasion of the land 6. Appearance of intelligence Evolution in organisms occurs through changes in heritable traits – particular characteristics of an organism. Then by process of natural selection, the traits that helps the organism survive are favored..t Natural Selection is a simple idea that all normal people should agree with.. But can natural selection lead to speciation(The process by which new species are formed)? If the two animals of the same specie are separated in some way, excessive differences in their alleles could make them so different that they lose their ability to reproduce with each other... This of-course, happens many generations after the split.. So,we can agree that speciation does occur.. Proof of this lies in most isolated places(e.g Australia) where species exist that cannot be found else where. Now that I've given reasons for Natural Selection and speciation lets talk about the stages of evolution.. Let's imagine prokaryote cells in water without having to worry about where they came from... I'd imagine them quite a bit different from the prokaryotes of today. They would have been weak, easily killed by little changes in temperature..Mutations would have been occurring at faster rate compared to their modern decedents. This would help select better traits and only make them stronger and help push life into the second stage of evolution.. END OF PART 1 |
