Methamphetamine I know is expensive, how is the one being sold in Nigeria cheap??

Meth is generally cheaper cheaper cocaine. It is popularly called the poor man's cocaine.

Schizophrenia is a complex brain disorder. It often runs in families and can cause troubling symptoms. These may include hearing voices, and having trouble thinking clearly and relating to others. It often starts suddenly in early adulthood. There is no cure for this illness, but it can be managed with medicine and supportive therapy.

If u understand how God feels about sin, u will take this serious. Do u know that we all will give account of everything we say? Including everything u support on Nairaland. But many people just write anything and think they will get away with it.

Angels assigned to you are recording everything. On that great day of judgement, books will be opened and we will be judged from them. If u are truely a Christian, stand for Christ's interest and expose sin. Don't promote satanic ideologies that full this world.

Nonsense thrash

Godmademan:
My all time longest post on Nairaland. Una no vex my blood dey hot.

Why? All I see are people saying whether God approves or doesn't...

Why una no let una God speak for himself

am4truth:


Untrained child.... Jesus has now become your father's mate that you have the gut to say nonsense about.

Jesus defender...always speaking for your all-powerful god. If Jesus no like am allow am talk na..mtchee

LordReed:


All is I see are people with physical bodies struggling to live, no soul in sight.

How do you find it comfortable to talk to someone who wishes death on you and just suggested suggested that you should kill yourself?

Workch:
They think theory in science is just a wide guess.

The way these Christians say nonsense with boldness is funny.

Lmao ikr

This one doesn't even sound like a Christian. I think he's more of the self acclaimed "spiritual" clan who also look down on science.

Sometimes they can be worse than the established Christian Scampologists

OkCornel:


In all you’ve posted, these are theories of which nothing has been proven in our lifetime!

Lmao Truly spoken like someone who knows f*ck all about science. Google search what a theory means and cure your own ignorance

OkCornel:

Me: Prove to me God created man from dust.
Theists: God is all powerful, anything is possible with God…bla bla bla.

Me: Prove to me mankind evolved from homo habilis, to homo erectus to Homo sapiens.

Atheists/Science believers: You see, these things didn’t happen overnight, bla bla bla. Mutations, DNA this and that led to this and that few millions of years ago.

Except these are things that can be verified if you can get off your ignorant high horse and take a trip to the lab so you can see what comparative anatomy or antibiotic resistance looks like. Obviously that's too much for a lazy mind that never reads, so take a trip to the museum for archaeological records of fossils that have been found instead.

OkCornel:

Bottom line is, nobody knows shit and everyone is guessing.

Like I mentioned earlier, this is a waste of time arguing over whose beliefs and stupidity is better.

Lmao this is literally the worst version of skepticism that I have ever seen. "Nobody knows shit" typed with a phone that is a result of the science you just spat on. Hypocritical much?

Take a look at yourself and for f*ck sake, PLEASE READ A BOOK.

First of all, your point is MOOT. Being an atheist or theist has NOTHING to do with evolution. There are Christian sects that accept evolution (Catholicism) and atheists who do not accept evolution. Theism and Atheism refers to the God belief no more no less.

OkCornel:


Let me make it easy for you. Science claims man evolved from homo habilis to homo erectus to Homo sapiens.

Can you provide sufficient and persuasive evidence for this? .

Yes. Fossil records of the great apes have been found I several parts of the world. Can you pick up a Biological textbook? We also have DNA records that demonstrates our similarity with the earlier hominid species. Embryology and Comparative Anatomy are strong evidences as well. There are literally mountains of evidence. Just put down your Bible for once and read a book that was written by people who know what they are writing.

OkCornel:


Do you also have any evidence to prove man will evolve from Homo Sapiens to something more superior?

You can start preaching now.

Congratulations you just proved you haven't actually studied evolution.

Man is ALREADY evolving. You seem to think evolution is something that happens overnight. Humans (Homo sapiens) have only been around for 200,000 years. Which in Geological/Evolutional time is relatively short for noticeable evolutionary pressures to have their effect. Little changes in DNA take a long time to manifest as regards phenotypic (physical) properties.

However, a little Google search of the difference between the genetic composition of the earliest human civilisation and today's humans will cure your ignorance that yes there is in fact, a genetic drift, which will, as time goes on eventually leads to the formation of offspring that we cannot mate with (effectively a new specie).

Grow up and READ!!

Fiscus105:


are many stories in Bible which are fictions of imaginations, exaggerations and ignorances. .

You try

Fiscus105:

Thou,I don't blame the story tellers (Bible writers) because that was how it occurred to them then, world was still in completely crude stage then.

You no try...We are talking about a book supposedly written with the INSPIRATION OF AN INFINITELY INTELLIGENT Supreme Being.

Why are you blaming the writers? When God was simply using their hands to write the book? You sef think am...If the source of all knowledge wanted to write a book wouldn't it know how best to communicate with ALL humans using texts, stories and allegories that make the most logical sense in the most understandable way?

Now we have a Bible/Quran that is absolutely ridiculous, contains all sorts of errors, as well as mythical jargons and superstitious nonsense. And you think this came from a God or Allah?

It simply doesn't make sense.

A particular pastor and his brainwashed followers won't like this.

Lovely idea. Why wasn't this broadcasted? Would have loved to attend. Surely there are more heathens than these.

Dliquidmetal:
I hope they do heal,imagine going through life from infancy till six feet below with a veil on your face........Living all days of ones life in shackles and also fighting anyone who offers to unshackle and unveil..such a pitiable way to live.

Most who resort to piss poor apologetics are those who have something or the other to gain from religion. Also, they are those who esteem their indoctrination, ego, and stomach above what is actually true.

Losing my religion, had consequences, but they were not so dire. I was a successful instrumentalist in my church, I had posts and would like be a minister by now if I didn't cared about the sincerity of my beliefs. It hurt me to lose those things, to find out I had invested so much into Christianity that turned out to be a false religion, but I knew I was only 21, there was plenty of time to redeem the losses. I still struggle with some of the mistakes I made as a result of placing my faith above everything else, but generally things are looking up.

I believe the same is the case for some of these people as well but the consequences may be different. They simply are incapable (they can't afford it) of seeing the ills in their religion. Because their ego, indoctrination, family ties, financial needs, investments whatever prevents them from seeing it.

I think it all boils down to your core values. Do you care in believing what's right according to the evidence OVER what your family believes/what brings food to your table/what gives you purpose/what you were taught since you were a kid?

I think that's what differentiates the dishonest engagers in this forum from the relatively honest ones.

hupernikao:


Have you read the Bible well and understand what it says? This is the basis of our discussion. I will want you to confirm to me first that you have READ the Bible well and UNDERSTAND its teaching and can confirm its false or contradictory.

I am not working on hear say or online reading.

Kindly confirm this first.

I was a Christian for 20 years of my life. I have read the bible many times than I can possibly remember.

Genesis is the first book of the Bible. I have read it from beginning to end more times than any other book. From children class to Sunday school to preparing for youth fellowship when I was the prayer coordinator.

Hopefully that clears it up for you.

Although that even is irrelevant with why the Bible is inconsistent. How do you reconcile these paradoxes and contradictions in the narration of Genesis stories?

Dliquidmetal:
I always see your comments all over this forum and to be honest you come off as a very dishonest and delusional human being.
In full glare of verifiable evidences you would always pride yourself in blissful ignorance or maybe denial. I hope you heal one day,before your love for the illusion in which you live in gets the better of you.

You will never catch me responding to him. Him and his type have proven countless times that it is a total waste of effort and time trying to reason with them.

Religion is a mental virus.

hupernikao:


Please now.
I want to learn from that your massive knowledge of the scriptures. Don't shy away from this. I know you are sure of your knowledge, I want to help you market it here well by exposing the Bible. Please let's start it.

If not, no one will see you as being truthful or honest. I want everyone to see you as a honest man, a savior and deliverer from the bondage of the Bible. Don't you think it's what you have always desire.

Genesis 1:1-4 should be a good start. What do you think.

Great.

Let's talk about Genesis.


1. Genesis 6:19 God commands Noah to bring 2 of every kind of animals, clean or unclean. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.


Yet in Genesis 7:1 he is to take either 7 or 7 pairs of each clean animal, and (presumably) 2 of all the rest.
The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth




2. God created man and woman at the same time.

Gen 1:27
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.


God created women after men.

Gen 2:21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.



There are many more contradictions in Genesis alone. But I only took the effort to write these two. Just to see how you will respond and if you'll be worth conversing with.

mixta140:

Nigerians dont really like progress...
But if federal say make everybody put or send to federal govt email... one person go send not less than 2... many will try go open new accounts by force...
Many Nigerians always wanting what they dont deserve

Rest. What is progressive about this? All the properties of the so-called e naira are already being enjoyed using other apps. Why should we go out of our way to then use a government product? A government that is itself hostile towardsnits own citizens. Why?

Lmao is it just me or nairaland NEVER posts something good about bitcoin and other cryptos?

All news about crypto I have seen on nairaland front page are always bearish news. Pka "FUD"

A 10% pullback on bitcoin or ANY other coin for that matter is not new to most all crypto investors. It is common knowledge that the crypto market is highly volatile. 200% - 500% price jumps happen quite frequently.

The crypto market is here to stay. Now i may be wrong about the above, but I don't expect a notoriously backward and non-innovative platform like nairaland to support a 22nd (yes 22nd) century idea like bitcoin and most crypto.

There hasn't been any improvement on the nairaland interface ever since I joined in 2016. More than 5 years.. Most people who joined way back would likely say the same.

Most crypto tokens are backed by heavy projects that will revolutionise the entire world in a few years. Cardano (ADA) is backed by peer reviewed scientific research. Smart contracts will reduce corruption even where corruption is deeply ingrained in the culture, like Nigeria. Bitcoin can and will replace Gold as the safe haven asset. The opportunities that exist for both rich and poor in crptocurrencies are immense. Axie infinity (AXS) for example is earning people in Burkina Faso, Philippines and other poor countries at least, $100 monthly. DeFi will save us from the tricks banks use to rip us off.


It's only a question of WHEN, not IF. I understand the need to eliminate competition. But this site is no match. Nairaland mods all need to stop spreading false news that reduces people's confidence in cryptos.

mildteddy:
FYI, You will see better answers on Quora.com than on Nairaland.

Calm down and think things through. Check Quora. Nairaland can get you depressed.

Nairaland is one hell of a toxic site. Watch people who themselves have sex with their girlfriends WITHOUT PROTECTION COME here to make fun of the guy.

I like nairaland but this site is filled with hypocrites and fake people.

suffering:
Mscheew. In this day and age of multiplying then storing eggs we’re reading stories of this sort. This is obviously an American article, it doesn’t concern me.

U dey vex o lwkm

Pastafari:
That's why FSM is the only true God. He doesn't allow you disgrace yourself and your entire household all in the name of speaking in an unknown tongue.

Hail the noodly lord.

May he touch you with his noodly appendage. Ramen!

Asour:

However, you shouldn't insult your Vice president.
It's not right.

The only person who doesn't deserve to be insulted is someone who proves they don't.

The failed campaign promises are an insult to the judgement and the intelligence of millions of Nigerians. The constant impoverishment of the common Nigerian man is an insult on his right to have a normal life.

Don't tell me to not insult for these misfits in government.

Vice President isonu.

Selectively picking stats as usual to paint a false picture and please this failure of a government.

India also has a mammoth GDP (almost equal with that of Japan and Germany) but that's just because it's a highly populated country. We all agree that the quality of life in India is nowhere near that of the Japan or Germany.

Ekiti has a GDP of $2.8 billion and a population of about 2 million people. That's a GDP per capita of $1,000.

Seychelles has a GDP of $1.1 billion but a population of over 100,000. That's a GDP per capita of $11,000.

Clearly, the seycheless economy is almost 11x more efficient than Ekiti State. Ekiti state has no viable means of generating income, except for its schools. EKSU students pay as high as 100k for acceptance fee in the state university.

Seychelles is a tourist and agro-based economy, it is one of the most (if not the most) attractive places to visit and live in Africa. Nothing of that sort can be said for Ekiti. No production. Just spending and vibes.

A more effective measure of any economy is GDP per capita (per person). But as usual these dark souls cherry pick stats to paint a false image. I spit on this government based purely on lies.

Ekiti is one of the most fruitless states in the federation. There's no single manufacturing industry in the state. It's a state that thrives on consumerism despite it's intellectual potential.

All that have governed Ekiti are failures in my book.

MaxInDHouse:


Never mind we are the most stupid creatures on this planet

I completely agree with this. At least something true finally came out of you.

Hey guys is there an demo trading contest going on atm?

thesicilian:

I know that's what you did, "a quick Google Search" in order to sound smart. But if can't even understand a simple statement, how then are you going to understand the more complex things of life like science and metaphysics?
I give up. Out of respect for my time. You win.

Yes unlike you, I am humble enough to search for knowledge than base my reasoning of how the universe works on a book written by drunk farmers in the dark ages. Run along.

The job story is a classic example of the sadistic and psychopathic nature of many Christians, and most importantly their god.

"Well job suffered greatly but he got his possessions back in many fold."

Does that justify god putting one of his most faithful servants through such a notoriously bad situation because of a bet...with...wait for it...satan?


How do you explain the death of his sons and daughters who knew nothing about the bet or whatever it is their father was doing and died innocently for nothing. What did they get back in return? Yeah... nothing but death right?

What moral lesson is there to be learnt from God persecuting an upright man?

It only demonstrates the twisted morality and the lack of thinking of many people who believe the Bible is gods word.

thesicilian:

"You say you haven't seen heaven and hell, therefore you don't believe it exists.

But at the same time you claim to believe in dark matter, which you also haven't seen.

How do you reconcile these two?"

That is the logic behind that simple statement, Have you seen dark matter?

It is surprising that some things have to be made so ridiculously simple before some of you can see it.

Congratulations, you just demonstrated that you have zero idea about how science works.

I'll dumb it down for you, in science, we don't have to " see" anything before we know it's there. There are ways of testing things to see if they're there without actually physically seeing them.

A quick Google search would have cured your ignorance on this issue but I'm not surprised to see someone who believes the goat herders guide to the universe came from a god.

So I helped you with some links for your reading:

https://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2006/aug/HQ_06297_CHANDRA_Dark_Matter.html

https://scienceaid.net/Evidence_for_Dark_Matter

https://www.mvorganizing.org/what-is-the-evidence-of-dark-matter/

Hopefully, you are honest enough to consider the evidence that exists for dark matter. Even if we cannot "see it."

Now is there anything remotely presentable as evidence for your heaven and hell as presented in your buybull?

Of course, not. Heaven and hell only exists because a book written by cattle rearers says they do.

You have only resorted to the "god of the gaps" apologetics fallacy here. Where something we don't completely understand yet is used as a evidence of your god. "We don't know therefore god."

A few years ago, it was "you don't know where thunder came from, therefore god exists."

Farther back, it was "You can't explain rain, therefore god exists."

Since science has figured that out, it's now "You can't see dark matter, so heaven and hell exists."

Lmaooo try harder.

Prayer is an act of unbelief not belief. Prayer is you telling your god he has things mixed up and only you can tell him how to fix it. It's an insult on your gods intelligence.
