With all the numerous vehicle exhaust heat in Lagos are you saying Lagos has been cold? I don't believe it.

What about all the people she sat with in the keke napeps or buses plus the contaminations made with her hands? Did they take that into account?

@OP. I hope you are a whiteman. But if you are a Blackman like the igbos then those pictures should bother you too. You should be shedding tears.

Sagamite: You are a cretinous person!

What solid proof are you looking for?

You want me to go and conduct a test on them?

To a person like you, I am not surprised you do not know what intelligence is and Patience Jonathan would be a genius. Even her husband, to you, is Einstein.

To people with high intellect like me, we know who is intelligent and who is not.

While you are too daft to know what intelligence is, then shut up and don't debate it.

This is exactly how one sounds when his butt is flaming on fire. You believe Patience is dumb and something is definitely convincing you that Patience is dumb. Why not tell me what exactly it is that makes you think that Patience is dumb. What's difficult about that? If you think Patience is dumb and you have no reason behind such thought then the crown of the cretinous fuccktard belongs to you and not me.

Sagamite: What proof do I have?

Let me tell you the proof:

A brain I can have for, and do use, for ratiocination.

So you are telling me that Patience Jonathan is not really less intelligent than Michelle Obama or Angela Merkel?

I have asked for proof all you gave me was grammar. What the hell is special about Michelle or Angela? The only disadvantage Patience has is that she is not educated like Michelle and Angela. Education is another deception just like oratory skills that can fool people like you to think that one with a PhD is more intelligent than one with no degrees. If you don't have any solid proof to back up your claim that patience is dumb then shut it and rest your fingers.

I know what your problem is, just like everyone else in your category of reasoning, Patience is dumb because she doesn't speak excellent English in American accent.

Sagamite: I thought I told you to stop chatting shyt!

So you are telling me that it is only oratory skills you see that makes Michelle look more intelligent than Patience Jonathan?

Or you are trying to strawman me that that is my opinion and position?

You think YOU can strawman ME?

Secondly, what is this rubbish about "common daily tasks" in measuring intelligence? So because you cannot see any superior intelligence in 2 different people washing clothes that means they are equally intelligent? Or are you using walking to the bus station to catch a bus to work? Or is it vacuuming your room you are referring to?

I don't understand.

What is this crap about "common daily task"? What relevance and significance does it have in assessment of intelligence?

And on the thread, were you not repeatedly corrected that despite the different kinds of intelligence, there are people that are more intelligent than others in all or majority of the different kinds of intelligence and hence they are by far more intelligent?

You still do not get the concept after all the education on the thread?

My assumption was made excluding those who are handicapped or mentally disabled. If you are including the handicapped then YES, the mentally fit would be FAR MORE INTELLIGENT than the handicapped ones. But if you exclude them like I did and make the comparison only be between the mentally fit and strong then you will definitely find it hard distinguishing one as FAR MORE INTELLIGENT. Many of us are mentally fit and strong. Most of us reason excellently well so the differences among this category of people is not easily noticeable.

Besides, what proof do you have that Michelle Obama is more intelligent than Patience? How did you arrive at that?

I love their uniform.

Sagamite: Stop chatting shyt!

You did not argue that there are different intelligence. You argued that all human beings were intelligent, and the intelligence all human beings possess is almost equal; that no human being is really more intelligent than the next one. That the only thing that made one person appear more intelligent than the next is just oratory skills.

That is as stewpid as saying Patience Jonathan is as intelligent as Michelle Obama.

I can't find that thread. But could you please find it and check very well to see that I clearly stated somewhere that their are different kinds of intelligence. Just check my comments very well. Remember I used the game of Chess and checkers to illustrate my point.

I have to admit that the first comment I made that caused the argument was a lazy and rough statement just to avoid more typing. It did not clearly explain the point I was trying to make. If actually i knew a poster called Sagamite would pick it up I would have taken time to write it very well to understand. The other comments I made clearly explained my position. So please stop using the first comment to judge my position. Just use my subsequent comments during the argument to understand my position.

I have told you SEVERAL TIMES that I never said oratory skills makes anyone intelligent. I was only saying that oratory skills can DECEIVE an audience to make them think the speaker is intelligent, and that is exactly what is DECEIVING you to think that Michelle Obama is more intelligent than patience Jonathan. Many people like you think that Patience is dumb because she can't speak English. That's the deception I was talking about.

Of course all NORMAL humans have an ALMOST EQUAL level of intelligence when performing common daily tasks. The reason I mentioned "ALMOST EQUAL" is because the differences are hard to notice when people perform common daily activities and also considering the fact that there are different kinds of intelligence such that where your intelligence fails, my intelligence picks up. Someone with a low IQ test score can end up being a better president than someone with an IQ as high as 10,000. This only makes their intelligence ALOMST EQUAL but NOT equal.

I thought women don't like sex.

This reminds me of an argument I had with a certain Nairalander called Sagamite backed by his brother OAM4J. I tried to explain this to them but they thought I was just talking shiit.
There is nothing like UNIVERSAL intelligence. Although some people are intelligent in several areas but they still don't have UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE.

if Ebola enters Lagos then the whole Nigeria is already infected.
I guess its time to start relocating into the forest and live like the ancient African hunters and gatherers to cut yourself away from all civilian contacts till Ebola is over. That's a certain way to stay safe.

collynzov5: Yoruba coward

How did "Yoruba" enter this matter?

gboss4sure: Sprung by themselves? Bro stop watching CNN. The same way the USA funded the protest in ukraine with 5 billion usd that over-throwed an elected Government and is destroying Ukraine at the moment just because they are targeting Putin's Russia to cripple it into following their world domination agenda.. Next on the line is China

Let me give you another insight, The war in Syria was started by non Syrians and CIA recruits just to get to Assad out, had they succeeded Syria would have just been like Libya or even worst.

read => http://rt.com/news/177756-us-spy-cuba-recruits/ This is how USA works anytime they want to over throw a non friendly Government

I know the US sponsored the overthrow of the Ukrainian government but what evidence and leads do you have that suggests that the US is behind the militants currently battling for the control of Libya? The War in Syria was obviously as result of the Arab revolt. And what evidence do you have that suggests that the CIA is behind the start of the war?

gboss4sure: CIA paid troll defending their paid master since 1947.. Since your masters intervened in Libya whats up with that country? How is it faring?

The militants sprung up themselves. Did the west install them to cause havoc?

Another silly African trying to blame the failure of Africans on the west.

Pinkytracy: who says you can't turn an ugly woman into a beauty Qween??

How would I do that? Plastic surgery?

Give me a beautiful wife I will teach her how to cook. But you can't convert an ugly woman to a beautiful woman.

Kalvan: They never existed. How can they have belly buttons.

Typical thread made by an Ibo.

Chai. Nairaland is in trouble. I thought it was only in politics section.

If at all there was anything like Adam and Eve.

Allansmith: Also note:Facebook is always on power (Electricity) and Nairaland is always on Generator.....

Bro you are not informed so keep quiet. Nairaland is sustained by a foreign host which is definitely powered by public electricity.

lanre316: Hope it's not an attack like what happened to Nairaland.

You think say Facebook loose like Nairaland.
Somebody blew cigar smoke on his laptop screen and Nairaland went offline for several days.

AkinEgba: These days numbers don't mean much in war; the level and sophistication of ammunition at your disposal do. Moreover, the only way the Islamic North will come down south to fight is if they get encouragement from one or more betraying groups from the south. If the south bands together or at least do not betray each other by one group joining with the North to fight other southerners, then its a different story out there than you are telling us now.

If I got you right what you are saying is that the south will get more sophisticated weapons than the north. What makes you think the north will not get sophisticated weapons too?

The way this country is moving at times it is not surprising to hear the word WAR every now and then. Many Igbos and yorubas on Niaraland have been calling for Nigeria to split. We don't really know how that would happen but one of the certain means it happens is through war. So far, yorubas and igbos on Nairaland have been flexing their muscles polished with all the grammar to show the north they are better than they are. But are yorubas and igbos really ready for the big show? I doubt if they are ready for some reasons.

Yorubas and igbos are definitely wealthier and more educated than the northerners, and with education comes this ajibutter kind of lifestyle and a love for good life. This is definitely not the kind of people you will expect to be in the battle fields to defend their land. Rather they will take the next flight and bus to seek refuge in Ghana or Cameron to continue their pursuit of living the good life. So how many would be left to defend the homeland? In contrast with the yorubas and the igbos, hausas and Fulani do not have much of that educated class of individuals desiring to live the good life. Most of them are poor so they ain't scared of living or dying. These guys are just perfect for the battle fields.

Secondly we all know the reputation of the average northerner as violent individuals and ready to slaughter. If the slaughter when the nation is not at war then how much do you think they slaughter when war eventually breaks out? These guys are Muslims and we all know how the religion induces a powerful jihad kind of spirit to fight vigorously to the last man. Are these the kind of people that the educated ajibutter yorubas and igbos want to engage in a war?

Another thing is the disunited south. Yorubas and igbos hate each other. So the north can attack the yorubas first and igbos will relax be laughing at yorubas as pay back time for betraying the Igbos. By the time the north are done with yorubas Igbo's become next. By then the south has been weakened after defeating the yorubas. Whatelse will Igbos do? Fire one or two 1968 ogbunigwes and they are exhausted.

I am pleading with Yorubas and Igbos to tone down cos this war doesn't look like it would favour them, or else if they keep barking unnecessarily and eventually it happens, I would not be surprised if the northerners utilize the opportunity to Complete what Usman Dan fodio couldn't complete more than a century ago.
Me I don prepare my escape route ready.

I am wondering if Islamic extremism is about the religion or the tribe. A lot of us detest the Islamic religion because most terror acts have been perpetuated under the religion. If we take a close look at the situation it appears that a certain region or tribe has been the ones carrying out these grave offences.
Here in Nigeria there is only one tribe notable for violence under islam, and that is the Hausa/Fulani. We have so many Yoruba Muslims and very few Igbo Muslims, but they don't terrorize people under their religion.
Stepping out of Nigeria and into the global community, there is only region/tribe notable for Islamic extremism worldwide, and that is the Arabs in the middle east and north Africa. We have Indonesia as the worlds biggest Muslim country by population and do we really hear anything about bombs from there? We have turkey as a Muslim nation and when you go there it doesn't look like a Muslim nation. There are other nations harbouring muslims in Asia and we don't get any troubles from there. So is it really about the religion or tribe?

donmarvex: i hav used them. They both work on my opera, fb nd whatsapp

You tried it on Android?

A helpless girl is asking for assistance and some stuupid boys are saying nonsense. Asking her to accept because because the guy is poisoning her with fumes.
@Op. Report the Agbero to the police and neighbours too. Act serious drama for the guy in that compound and see whether the idiiot won't come to his senses.

Has anyone tried and confirmed them working on android?

But how many people did that Liberian guy shake hands with in Nigeria?
Lagos is the worst place to have an outbreak in Nigeria cos the population density there will make it catch like fire and fuel. Considering those going in and out of Lagos on a daily basis it would not take long before the whole nation is engulfed.
The good news is that Ebola kills its victims very fast and reducing chances of spreading it further or else...

My question would be:

Your supreme excellency, the almighty God, creator of all existence. May I know the exact reason you created us and what really we should be doing here on earth?
Thanks

Apatheist: I'll wake up from sleep.

Is that a question?

Atheists believe that living things evolved from simple to complex organisms. But how does it explain the fact that the major creatures on earth have a separate male and female species? How did evolution split almost all creatures into male and female genders? Do you think evolution by chance can consistently do this over several species or Don't you think it is the handwork of something conscious deliberately at work.
