The fault in our star
The note book
A star is born
Isn't it romantic

Lol I dunno u but I'm already loving ur taste. Throw in
Me before you
After
Five feet apart
In that order and I'd be in love with u already

philip0906:
Buttom line, carbon dating is NOT accurate and should not be taken as the absolute answer . Simples!!

Lol I dont know how scientist publish their answers. Remember I already said I was using secondary school chemistry to explain. Ask the experts. Perhaps the potential errors were already factored into calculations. Possibly they published the lower limit of the range gotten from calculations. But saying their answers should not be taken as absolute is funny cos most science theories and inventions are not accurate (in the sense you're implying)
Why is ur generator having an average power rating and a maximum power rating. Does that mean generators shouldnt be taken seriously??

philip0906:
Good! The question then is, how and why should we take radiocarbon to be the absolute and finite answer when severally, radiocarbon dating accuracy, has been called to question?

Lol, I hope you asked this question with an open mind and not to argue.
Having said that, while I'm a science student (not the Olamide type, lol) I'm no expert on thus subject matter neither does my field relate to this but I'd try to use basic chemistry to explain the best way I can. I might not be really accurate
But with regards to how this carbon dating works, here's what I remember. There's something called half life. Most elements have a certain number of time for it to decay to half its size continually. Say like an hypothetical element P has a half life of 1 year. If there is 1000 P in a certain bag by this time by next year you'd meet just 500, by the year after just 250.
Now carbon has it's own half life (I think) which is very large (more than 1 year). Now,let's say its half life is 10yrs and on average a human bone contains 1000 of it. Since the body would stop functioning after death, if I see a corpse and check how many carbon is contained in its bones and it's just 500 I can safely say the corpse had been decaying for 10years.
But truth is not everyone has the same number of carbon. We would each have numbers different but close to the average that science specifies for each human being. While there is no way to surely know how many a particular corpse contains at the time of death, the average could be used and the time calculated would only be an estimate.
This is just the basic concept I can remember from secondary. Might not really be accurate but I believe is the general overview

Lol many people just throw in the world savant here. Truth is he doesn't have to be impaired in one way to be a savant. Orlando Serell and Daniel Tammet are both savant without obvious physical or mental impairment. Having said that, the guy might actually not be a savant. There exist only a handful of them and he would really hand to be tested to be certified one. For all we know he could be a genius or just a child prodigy. But this is sha brilliant. It's nice seeing this kind of pure art of brilliance from this side of the world

I am a science student and I scored pretty high on Jamb and I can say one of the major reasons it is this way is cos unlike popular opinions I believe science subjects are easier. It's easier to understand a few definitions, laws and theorems and not to mention to most serious science students calculations are bonus points and that's what Jamb thinks it's our disadvantage. That's y check the best science jamb scores have maths as their best scoring subject. For art students, it isn't so easy. Too many definitions, too many theorems, so much ambiguity which jamb plays on (that's y all options would most times look too similar). I took literature and government in SS1 so I know. I may have been good with both but I swear it's stressful. Those doing those things are trying

coolie1:
which kain liverpool na barcapool so barca and madrid would come to epl and. just be winning any how gerrrara here and stop saying nonsense

It was ur type that was shouting if Pep comes to EPL he'd know the difference between England and the rest. Now Pep has turned England to his playground. After sending u ur current best players (Aguero, Silva, Yaya and the rest) including the current best coach u still think the best player who outperformed all those players wouldn't thrive. Talk with brain bro. The only thing England can be respected for is the busy schedule. On any other normal day, Laliga teams would boss u like kids.

Payment received. Thanks to XFire and all sponsors. God bless

CHIMDIYA4EVA:
I have gotten my reward. A big thank you to the organizers and sponsors once again, may your pockets never go dry. Congratulations to my fellow winners also, watch out for me next year (if I'm not a sponsor by then )

Looking at y'all with one eye. That price has been in the West for too long. How about we take it up north. FUTMites coming up next
BlackAce31 - the winner of XFire 2020 edition
BTW Congrats sis

Nltaliban:
Congratulations bro.

Congrats to u man. See u in the next edition

Nltaliban:
Congratulations bro.

Ah I'm not going to bed again looking at what you'd finish. Just win so we'd share the money

well 12th wasn't that bad for someone just heading into 200lvl. So I've still got 3 years to win this. Winners and future participants watch out for me in the next edition
Thanks to the organizers and sponsors for this opportunity. May God bless ya pockets.
See u next year. Time to go to bed
Xfire I've been trying to send u a PM but it isn't going through

Nltaliban:
I wish you the best man

Same to u man. Let's keep ourselves occupied till they choose to announce the winners

Nltaliban:
I swear

Lol we're all here together. The announcement should be made biko. I know I won't win but I want to know how well I did

MathsEconomics:
All form of payments in UNIBEN is done online except for sundry payments like faculty dues, departmental dues, etc.
I believe other good schools have this facility, let other members of this forum add to the list. I picked only the one I know.

OP if you're interested in coming a little bit up north, then FUTMinna is the place. It's the same with what this guy said. Everything online including registration and clearance. With the exception of departmental and faculty fees, the rest are done online

solelymade:
I thought something wasn't right with the speed at which the kids answer those questions within seconds, I do not know of any methodology that can make them answer such in seconds.
Either it is as explained by you or they had more time alloted than the 60seconds claimed, just to package the show to appeal and challenge audiences so they collapse the time.
The best academic show I had witnessed in my life is Bournvita Brain Match, no grey areas

False assumption. I've been there and I'd tell u its purely talent and hardwork. Most people who make it to that stage have had tons of practice.

There is a general application centre where they can apply to as many schools as they can although not all universities accept that (e.g MIT)
Moreover those top schools can be very selective so applying to just one is risky. I agree 20 is a little too much but it does increase ur chance of being admitted. Some apply to 7 top schools and still get rejected by all

parisbluefox:
What’s the point of applying to 19 schools? You only get to attend one at the end of the day. So why waste all that money on application fees?

So wait if mama is allowed to have the baby the wife's daughter would have a half-brother/sister who will happen to be her uncle/aunt. And the man's son/daughter will be his brother/sister in-law. The wife's step-son/daughter would be her half-brother/sister. Hmmm. Hold on, if the wife and her daughter share a common half-sibling doesn't it make the wife and her daughter siblings of some sort? and if they are mama's granddaughter becomes her daughter.
Ayam nor even understanding again

sureheaven:
Maybe she thinks governing nija is as easy as being a professor. U better go face it family, especially ur children before u go suffer for the offence u have not committed. Between nigeria and hell fire , I don't which is more difficult to govern.

see u did u hear that there was lack of fire and brimstone in hell or did u hear that devil went to heaven for medical services?? their case better pass our own

wait oooo is simi a one-night stand product??

Wait oooo I thought the official date for christmas in Russia is Jan. 7?? Y am I seeing pics of Russia and Moscow here

ObaKlaz:
Dear Marcelo,

My thoughts are with you. No one deserves to be so brutally obliterated and humiliated like you were by Leo Messi, right under the very watch of your family members.
It hurts, but I do hope you'd try at least, to recover and put it all behind you in 2018.

Feliz Navidad, Amigo!

LMFAO Guy y u wicked like this? u no get joy rara

safarigirl:
you are an example of a Nigerian man and look at how you are. Most of you are on NL giving me more and more reasons to see Nigerian men as failed.

You cannot even talk without dragging people's parents into it. The usual behaviour of the 21st century Nigerian men.

My parents live in Abuja, so, I should live where? In your house?

You have jumped to conclusions twice with me, you see how faulty your thinking process is? And this behavior is because you are one of the failed Nigerian men who depend on stereotypes to make their judgments.

Like I said, Nigerian men have failed me

Nigerian men have failed u? could it be that u have a poor taste in guys or d fault in all your relationships lie with u? BTW people are different so maybe diaris a nigerian dude who is different and suits u perfectly. Don't label all nigerian guys failures cos you have dated a lot. You haven't dated all. We are all different and unique in our own ways

sidnen:
they are busy playing video games and watching soccer

In order to be like Neymar. U think say e easy to dey play ball 3 days a week for one year. We still get ambitions. LOL

abitex577:
Everything my Father does makes news, if he sneezes, it's news, if he takes a walk with his wife news, if he does a crusade news, if he criticizes the government news, if he gives to the poor news, if he heals the sick news, if he prophecies, it is news, [/b] some even said that El rufai has not died but they forgot that El Rufai feared for his life and refused to signed the new law to license PREACHERS in Kaduna[b], thank you Heavenly Father for the gift of Apostle Johnson Suleman to my generation. The voice to the voiceless.

Seems like this dude doesn't know his dad. Or does Apostle know ur mama?? By the way I said "know". is know I said oooo

Thats My spiritual father


Note: to those who may be truly ignorant and supporting freeze against this man and his likes ...id advise you to desist, note this I've meet freeze before and all he's doing is to garner attention...and consider that if these men of God are right " you'll are fighting against God" if your truly a Christian, recall the Pharisees of Jesus time thought they were fighting for God, of course some way plainly evil and jealous a lot were against Jesus, but couldn't tell why..( where all agents of the dark and light sides..and who we submit to .are we used by them).

If you don't know about a thing, it's best to keep shut, freeze doesn't know the forces behind the scene using him...of course a lot of people aren't Christians, their just church goers and were waiting for the likes of freeze to show their true colors

If I don't know a thing shouldn't I ask?

Josiah202:
whats your problem...She not dying alone shows that God just work out her miracle through d SHILOH she attended....Only God knows what could have happen if she didnt attend d service......
Mind how u talk to a prophet before his wrath fall on u

If she didn't attend the service, she'd be at home writing her next article or column to be published. I wonder how you think this kinda news wouldn't pop up when people be returning home by 11pm or 12pm considering the conditions of our streets. You don't host events without considering logistics especially for the poor masses

lekonso:
This one na mumu. Is it only in Nigeria you can access nairaland platform?

Leave the ode he just wan announce himself

Most people are thinking it Daddy Freeze is just saying it.

garamah:
Again, Animalu Alex is by no means comparable to Okeke, Ayankoha etc in Nigeria, he is in the category of Rice in ETHZ Switzerland, Stephen Hawkin of Cambridge, witten, Susskind of Stanford. He is not a local champion with secondary texts, one of his book called elementary quantum theory of crystalline solids published in the sixties has India, Chinese, Russian versions and well referenced worldwide in any condensed matter (solid state) theory courses/text. He has been nominated for Nobel prize twice or more and the only Nigerian that can nominate people for Noble prize. He has been Prof. (functional not this Nigerian political Profs.) before joining UNN in 1975. I am his student presently.

Ha'an na the guy is good and his achievements speak volumes but comparing him to Steve Hawkings is a bit too much na, don't u think?

If a white man had said this we'd be labelling him a racist but we can't call this one cos he's black. Racism isn't restricted to the white man's world.

crackerspub:
Even with Messi plus retired Maradona, we are going to beat Argentina. Enough of that rubbish, Messi na God


All I see is Nigeria winning the group with full 9 points.


Croatia with Luka Modric can be stopped, resilient and defensive minded Iceland can be beaten!


9ja all the way!

9PTS I like your faith
