PoliticsRe: The Best And Worst Places To Be Born In The World In 2013. by birdman(m): 4:19am On Mar 04, 2013
The study is too nebulous to be useful though. I would argue a child born to a Nigerian middle class family is luckier than one born to middle class African American family in 2013 on average. You can finish secondary school and university without an ounce of debt. And all the crap we pulled in boarding school in Nigeria would in the US get you a rap sheet so long you couldn't get into a good university, never mind a decent job. Lets not even talk about being born black in Britain or one of those Euro countries. My point is, Nigeria may be corrupt, but the state is not fundamentally designed to put you on the outside.
PoliticsRe: Chime Flown Abroad Again On Medical Grounds by birdman(m): 3:58am On Mar 04, 2013
All the tribalistic bs aside, africans really need to learn how to cede power. Of what use is governorship if Chime develops a complication and dies. Hand over power to your deputy, be thankful you can go abroad for your treatment, and stay there until you are clear. In a democracy, you can come back and resume office once you are medically cleared.
FamilyRe: Marriage Is Meant For Believers Only ! by birdman(m): 6:51pm On Mar 02, 2013
First off, it is true that marriage was designed for believers, or Christians if you prefer. What this means practically is that Christians have a responsibility to show the world what true marriage is. That's one.
No it wasnt, anymore than raising kids was designed for believers. Its obvious you have come to this conclusion based on your belief, not evidence. Thats cool, and I'd rather not argue you out of a belief, no matter how wrong it is.
FamilyRe: Were Our Forefathers Happier Than Today's Generations? by birdman(m): 5:58pm On Mar 02, 2013
They had to be less happy - we forget how many medical diseases we dont need to fight anymore. Some of these were painful, lingering conditions. Still though, happiness is a state of the mind, and its easier to be happy when you care about fewer things

Ihedinobi: I don't know how slow you mean. I'm as slow as me.

Anyway, Christianity predates Creation itself. The Lamb of God was slain from the very foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8 ). The Messiah was in view even before Adam sinned, even before Adam's eyes first opened to the light.
My bad if my reply was insulting. But seriously though, you have traded practical every day living for spiritual sounding stuff that has no bearing on anything. What you just posted still has nothing to do with a man and a woman getting together for the purpose of raising a family, and acting as one legal unit to the rest of the world. I often wonder how much poverty has to do with our need to over spiritualize everything
HealthRe: Help With Cure For 'Pot Belly' by birdman(m): 5:48pm On Mar 02, 2013
ibukunoluwa66: My fiancee left me cause of my protruding belly.
I stopped eating late at nite now and i did a lot of things that were not really convenient
I don't know what else to do .

I want to find a lasting solution to my protruding belly

Pleases give me a aid to help dis.

No insults please
You need to keep you metabolism up throughout the day so you can keep burning calories. This is how some naturally thin people stay that way even though they eat a lot.

You should split your 3 square meals into 6 smaller meals. This will shrink your stomach size over time and keep your metabolism revved up and your body has less food to deal with each time. Also dont wait until you are hungry to eat - this will allow you eat a smaller portion and still feel full all day.

If you have a soda habit, make a habit of drinking teas or water regularly as it will help resist the urge for sugary drinks.

If you really want quicker results, cardio in the morning is better than in the evening, because your heart rate will be elevated for more of your waking hours and burns more calories. You want to run at a pace that only allows you to jog for about 15 minutes before being completely out of breath. Walking for hours, or jogging that is not strenous enough is useless for you.

Hopefully you can attract a less shallow fiance in 3 months

Ihedinobi: I'm sorry I didn't see your answer to the question.
You really arent that slow, are you? Unless you are suggesting christianity began before christ, which I implicitly stated. And just in case you want to extend Christianity before the time of Jesus, it still wouldnt help your case. The Israelites did not introduce marriage either. So you cant come out of the woodwork several centuries later and claim a practice you didnt start is suddenly only for you. It does make you wonder about the reasoning process of many christians
FamilyRe: Marriage Is Meant For Believers Only ! by birdman(m): 3:23am On Mar 02, 2013
Ihedinobi: When did Christianity really start, sir?
Paul talked about the church being a bride, so obviously marriage was well established by the time christianity came on the scene. Its only a matter of time before one of these pastors "proves" that children are meant for believers only.

PoliticsRe: Nigeria In 2050 (pictures) by birdman(m): 5:32am On Mar 01, 2013
CROWÉ: A little too literal there mate, the whole point is to say that Nigerian cities will look developed. DO you want him to make CGI of floating towers to fit a more futuristic idea of 2050?

A point of a city is not to look pretty btw, it is to be functional. Sydney is no better than Cologne that is hundreds of years old despite all its pretty structures that were built in the 1980s.
Then you should be happy with the way things are now. We look more developed than we were 40 years ago. I dont know why anyone thinks this thread is a good idea. It is a curse to be perpetually behind others by about a century.

HealthRe: Health Expert Warns: Any Food Eaten After 8pm Is Poison by birdman(m): 1:34am On Feb 25, 2013
If you try eating dinner before 8pm for one month, you will notice an significant drop in visceral (belly) fat, even without exercise. Your body needs time to digest whatever you eat, so the closer to bed you eat, the less time it has, and such food usually ends up as belly fat. Many toxins that cannot be metabolised by the liver often get stored in this belly fat, so the more of it you have, the more likely you are to have health issues as you age, as those toxins get released into your bloodstream.

Bottom line is you can eat whenever you want, but there is always a price - your body has limits. Just like when you go without food for long periods, you may think you have cheated your body, but behind the scenes, it has worked out a few "compromises" that you will pay for later.

PoliticsRe: Video of Gen. Diya Pleading For Abacha's Forgiveness by birdman(m): 2:22am On Feb 19, 2013
Dudu_Negro: there are somethings worth taking notes on in this courtroom . there is drama and as i watched i wondered if this was a traditional african courtroom whether sitting elders would allow such drama to unfold in their presence.

1. nigerian army is a joke
2. the prosecuting lawyer did not respect the accused, his profession, his rank or his person and was using tactics and questions to openly ridicule him
3. using newspapers and magazines publications to enter evidence
4. mixing human rights organization in a business of national security.
The lawyer was very unprofessional. He really had no point other than humiliation. It was obvious the panel was a joke too - it looked more like tales by moonlight than a reconciliation committee. Diya should have just gotten up and walked away.
PoliticsRe: Video of Gen. Diya Pleading For Abacha's Forgiveness by birdman(m): 1:28am On Feb 19, 2013
^^I know. It was irritating to see how scared Diya was in the court room when the lawyer threatened that Abacha might show up. How does a chicken like this become a general.
PoliticsRe: Video of Gen. Diya Pleading For Abacha's Forgiveness by birdman(m): 1:03am On Feb 19, 2013
inufele2: Some people just like to spew rubbish over the internet because they find it convenient to do as they can hide under the anonymity it provides, in real life they are very timid. until you face a real life and death situation you cannot say this is what you'll do. All humans by their instinct will beg for their lives if they feel this could save them from an imminent death. How many the so called strong men have not cowed in the face of death? we have seen gadaffi, we've seen Samuel doe and even Saddam trying desperately to save their lives. We even know of one warlord who wouldn't even wait to face his enemies but bolted away in the middle of the night disguise as a woman just to escape from these enemies who are at least several tens of kilometres away grin grin grin yet his people don't see this as cowardice.

When it comes to standing for what you believe and holding forth even in the face of death, I'll give it all to Laurent Gbagbo of Cote d'ivore, that guy was ready to face death face to face not like one warlord who ironically was known to have bolted to the same city where Gbagbo took the last stand.
Still, Diya is a poor excuse for a General. Even years after the ordeal, he cannot muster up the courage to speak like a man

Christianity EtcRe: The Cowardice Of Atheism by birdman(m): 6:42am On Feb 18, 2013
davidylan: wishful thinking. With the exception of myself and a core set of folks, the truth is that most christians on here largely ignore atheists. Not because they are afraid of them but because the atheists here largely have nothing to contribute outside of ad hominem attacks, illogical speculations, propagating pseudo-scientific jargon that takes far more faith to believe in and vitriolic outburts at a God they claim exists only in the mind.

See... there have been several threads debating whether atheists should get their own section and guess what... the atheists are the ones who VEHEMENTLY REFUSE EACH TIME! Why? Because atheists have nothing to talk about... no bond, no scientific facts to back themselves up... they only exist if they have christians to harass. If indeed atheists force us to ask questions... they wont need to essentially build their houses here debating the issues day and night. They would simply ask the questions and go do something better with their lives.
It bothered you enough to start the thread. I wonder why? Obviously, something said in those arguments stuck in your mind. Could it be you went personal on a few atheists to deflect your conscience? That is usually the reason debates degenerate into personal attacks.
PoliticsRe: APC: Ngige For President by birdman(m): 6:33am On Feb 18, 2013
Onlytruth: Ndigbo can stay in PDP and still vote Jonathan. We are fine with him. The burden is on YOU to tell us why we should vote "patriotically" in Nigeria, when doing so would likely mean perpetual slavery in our own country?
And how does voting for GEJ keep you out of that slavery. He has been president for a few years now, and by your own admission you are still in slavery. So what is it about GEJ's second term that will free you, that is, what is he going to do in the next 4 years that he has been unable to do in the first 4. You are confused cheesy
Christianity EtcRe: The Cowardice Of Atheism by birdman(m): 5:01am On Feb 18, 2013
I suspect OP and other "christian" folks get angry with atheists, because atheists force christians to confront issues that they would rather sweep under the rug. Davidylan and co already believe hell is real, and that they may burn there forever depending on what they believe, not just works alone. So they would rather not take any risk and ask the obvious questions. Atheists like logicboy remind them of this hypocrisy, hence the negative reaction. Based on this, you at least have to give atheists props for bravery and honesty.

If you are an atheist, you are better off doing what logicboy03 is doing - keep it to yourself. Most of your fellow naija christians are practicing atheists, and they would rather you didnt remind them about it.
