Noted.
But would you honestly say you exert similar amount of energy driving auto and manual cars, especially within a busy commercial town?

Not 'difficult' my friend, but u exert more energy. Obviously, u don't frequent a traffic jam zone.

Osaze has seen his best days. He's on a fast decline. He should come over to Dolphins or Kwara United and retire in patriotic peace.

ELgordo: 4th and that's my best number

You're actually 5th. Overjoblessness dey worry una.

If you were open minded, you wouldn't be this abusive. It smacks of arrogance. And that is what a little learning does. Until you get to the point of 'I know because I know not,' you've not begun.
The Scripture tells me that 'a fool says there is no God' (an intellectual would rather say 'chances are that there is no God) Since I was born, it has never been proved wrong! I pity your lost soul. And I pray it won't be too late for you. May this thread not hunt you in hell. Amen.
NB: Your case is not hopeless. Jesus (still) saves.

saxywale: It's no big deal. Just that you can't really drive if you learn with an auto tranny. If you learn with auto, you won't even be able to move a manual car from a spot but someone that learnt with manual would drive an auto tranny conveniently. Soon, auto drivers would be given a different type of licence

manual cars are not being phased out, they are still being manufactured in Large quantity for the European markets.

I know a couple of people who learnt with manual, and find it difficult driving auto. U see them pressing an imaginary clutch or not knowing which leg to use on the break. I've driven manual a couple of times and for sure, if I drive it for a week, I'll master it. But I'm not just up for that hard labour they call driving.
Point is: let he who eats only meat not make jest of he who eats only fish. Protein na protein. And besides fish is more nutritious than meat! U get my point?

I've heard 'professional drivers' sneer at those who learnt driving, using automatic cars or drive them. They claim automatic cars were designed for the handicapped.
I find such claims laughable. Manual cars are being phased out in developed countries, yet we glory here about driving them.
I tell people I can't buy manual cars or drive them for anything. Why punish myself and live in retrogression? I only drive auto. Big deal?

Its advisable to use one leg for automatic cars whether you learnt with manual or not. Brakes and Accelerators are meant to be applied using the right foot, and that's why they are placed side by side. Only the clutch of manual cars should be applied using the left leg.
This is how manufacturers of cars have configured cars. Anything you do outside this is wrong. You may be getting away with it, it doesn't make it less right.
Think about it; if there were a driving training system in place as it exists in other sane climes, would this question have cropped up?

wiegraf: You're an eediot. The genuine, pure thing. Of the highest quality

Ah, that felt good

Get this through your head, we don't set out to prove anything. Yes, even those who seem extremely aggressive, including the colossal eediots from states that actively persecute religions like communist ussr. Why? Because it has never, ever, been proven that god(s) exist. Your beliefs are based on... Faith. How wonderful. Yet you somehow misconstrue these as facts? Wow. Well, fairy tales may have been considered evidence during the times when the round wheel was a novel invention, but it hasn't been so for a very long time. You'll need to have your head out of your a$$ to notice though

How stoopid and arrogant of you to assume everyone should accept your position simply because you say so. Then you come around calling people fools and arrogant because they don't share delusion?

A religious person accusing atheists of playing god? Ok, so when I die I'm going to hell, yes? How do you know this? A story book told you so?

Heh heh. You m.oron...

You see what I mean? No, you don't! You're so blinded by your little knowledge that you let loose so much hate on the 'religious fellas' At what point did I say u should accept my position cos I said so? You seem to be desperate on holding to the straw of fury and wrath while you sink in atheism. Fury and wrath have never validated any belief/unbelief; and it won't start with you.
Be a little open-minded; be a little tolerant; be a little humble; else, you'll confidently walk into damnation! I warn you. I warn you. I have warned you!

I'll not only wait for her, we'll eat from the same plate. What God has joined together, let no food (or plate) put asunder!

wiegraf: Come back here op, you see the bolded here, that's your problem right there...
You trolling? I hope you are...

Theists hardly set out to prove the existence of God. Any reasonable human being who can behold nature and living things would readily come to terms with his existence. Whereas Atheists set out to prove the non-existence of God but end up merely denying his existence.
I have no qualms with anyone manifesting/propagating his beliefs/unbeliefs. What I find stinking is the arrogance displayed by many an Atheist especially on this forum in doing this. When you play All-Knowing in your analysis of issues, are you not inadvertently playing God?

Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola will distribute 750,000 uniforms to secondary school students at an elaborate ceremony on Friday.
This is in line with his model school policy to construct massive structures of classrooms for thousands of students.
The uniforms to be worn by all students will be of the same colour and size.
Source: OSBC 7pm News on 26/12/12
Isn't Ogbeni in need of urgent psychological attention? Just asking.

kaze4blues: I stay in osogbo nd I can attest to the fact that aregbesola is really doin we'll acros d state.
There is massive road constructn goin on coupled wt provision of other amenities like electricity, water supply, improvin d agric sector etc in a state wt a low igr nd meagre federal allocation.

Wellddone to ogbeni nd other sw govnors.

I also stay in Osogbo, and I tell you, Aregbesola is far from being sane and sincere. He has destroyed and demolished many Christian missionary schools-turned public school under the pretext of model school. He did not rebuild those schools but resulted to model schools, eroding their legacies and sending their names into oblivion. He has proposed to make all school students wear the same uniform!- uniform with idolatry symbols as emblems. What is the sense in packing so many students in a school when schools should be brought nearer to the people? Students will have to travel miles to attend school. What of the security challenge posed? Imagine a bomb scare in one of those schools? What stampede there would be! Ogbeni should have his head checked. He's sick.

wiegraf: Op, wtf is this $hit. It has nothing to do with the title. I came here with the intention of berating you for something else.

As to saying there is no god, you, like many of the dol.ts around here, do not understand how the burden of proof works. For instance with this post, note the word that is bolded. So you want me to accept your fairy tales because somebody says so? Where is the evidence? Then you call me a f.ool. You 4king m.ororn, being a sheeple that blindly accept claims without any evidence, just because someone said so, would fit the definition of a f.ool much more don't you think?

4king re.tards everywhere this morning in these last 2 days or so.

God is 'said' could also mean 'God is believed to be.' It doesn't necessarily mean someone said so. And as for evidence, you see it everywhere in creation and in his creatures. Just add a little thinking to seeing! Peace.

Heatblast: I agree with this


I also agree with this

There's a legal maxim that means 'he who asserts must prove' Theists take it for granted that there is God. Atheists assert there is no God, but they fail to prove it.

Atheist:-D:
Ppl can say what they want. If there is a God they will face the consequences. So stop blackmailing ppl with fear.

PS through my personal experiences of late on nairaland I have decided that


there is no God

I read this thread and I couldn't find any post that 'blackmails ppl with fear.' Don't be paranoid. Think and be wise.

Following a rumored increase of accommodation fee in UI from #14,000 to #60,000 and later #20,000; as well as the ban of cooking in halls of residence, UI students have rejected the move.
This is the latest release by the Student Union Pro:
After an extensive deliberation,
pondering, discussion, calculation
and computation with the vice-
chancellor in his office last night,
the vice-chancellor states the
following position:
1. Accommodation fee will remain
at #14,000 which is to be
managed by different hall
management.
2. Priority will be given to first and
final year student
3. Refurbishment of Reading and
common rooms across all the halls
of residence
4. Abolishment of cooking in
rooms and use or possession of
cooking utensils such as hotplate,
stove, gas in halls of residence, he
however stated that kitchenette
will be provided in halls that do
not have, and existing kitchenette
will be refurbished but will be
meant for light cooking such as
boiling water.
5. Resuscitation of Cafeteria
system.
The Union executives and
stakeholders agreed on item 1, 2,
3 but totally disagreed with the
number four as it is a malicious
act targeted towards pauperizing
and marginalizing an average
Nigeria student. Negotiation
however broke down at this
juncture, however there was a re-
consolidation at SUB that lasted
through the dead of the night and
we will be meeting with the dean
of Students later this evening.
We would like to reinstate our
undaunted commitment to the
protection and fostering of
interest of Students. we do
promise to exhaust all available
means of dialogue and
consultation
Our strength lies in our Unity. It is
our collective responsibility.

No human being should reasonably say with all certainty that there is no God. While the most intelligent professor in a little field of study gives room for skepticism, you hear some young chaps with a little learning talk in absolute term on a complex subject as God. What was 'fact' in scientific circles some decades back have been debunked based on superior facts.
For me to say there is no three-legged human being, I must have crisscrossed the entire world to ascertain it. So it is with saying there is no God.
God is said to be omniscient and omnipotent. Have you been beneath the seas and above the heavens? Have you gone to all forests and deserts in the world? What do you know? Have you finished knowing about the physical not to talk of the supernatural? To know is to admit you know not.
Please, quit saying there is no God. Only a fool does that!

mulumele: Jesus said,"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you".
Some of these topics being brought up for debates and comments in this forum full of atheists and mockers only lead to blasphemy.These should be rather discussed among Christians.
Just my opinion.

You are so on point. I think the so called religion section should be further segmented. Doctrinal Teachings are not meant for people outside the faith. Even though atheists and what not would still intrude, they will be certain they are 'intruders' Seun should consider this. 2go does it better!

In Ogbeni Aregbesola's quest to transform Osogbo, Osun state capital through massive road construction, serious havocs have been let loosed! Many major roads were 'opened up,' gutters and gullies expanded, without immediate repairs or construction. What we have are ditches and pits everywhere while construction goes on at a snail pace. Many have fallen into these ditches and lost their limbs, or got seriously injured. Some have ended up in the morgue. I visited a retiree today who fell into a ditch recently and got her hand fractured. She's been carrying p.o.p for many weeks. She lamented that Aregbe wanted to use her blood for sacrifice! While this may be rightly or wrongly waved aside, can someone tell me the rationale behind this madness?!

Frankie9ice: ...I bet u didn't read yor write-up before u posted it,truth is u have not contributed anything meaningful. U cum across as a confused person who lacks any grasp of English

Consider changing your name to FrankieUn9ice. Rofl.

dayokanu: State of osun is the right way to pronouce it and Ogbeni Aregbesola has given the reason in the youtube above.

Is there anywhere where they call it like we do? In the UK do they call it like we do?

State of Oyo, State of lagos, State of Anambra is the ideal way

I insist that both State of Osun and Osun State are correct. We have both forms in the United States. Changing the pattern we adopted over 50years ago overnight is ridiculous.

lamjell: dont you people know that Osun state is named after River Osun. Osun is a goddess and that is why it is called living spring. State of Osun simply means the state that belongs to Osun. I dont know why you people want to kill youself on this issue

What point have you made now?

dayokanu: Try get some education. Our democracy is fashioned after the Presidential system in the US and not the British parliamentary system

I'm talking 'Use of English,' you're talking system of Government. Between, does modeling a system mean aping everything in it? If we fail to 'fashion our democracy' after US in terms of nomenclature for state, does it take anything away from our democracy? The point is: grammatically the difference btw 'Osun State' and 'State of Osun' is just like the difference btw six and half a dozen!

not2long: State of Osun is the right one.

There is no where you see Texas state or California State

Its State of Texas , State of California.

Aregbesola is correct

So, the United States- not even Britain- is our model? Smh...
