Oga oo

I was talking to someone yesterday that why is it that the educated elites billionaires always live long?
Mike Adenuga
Chief Mike Ade Ojo
Jim Ovia
Tony Elumele
Eleganza Okoya is nor 80 years old
Danjuma
Obat Petroleum
Jolapamo (Daily need)
Chief Samuel Adedoyin (Doyin cubes)
Pascal Dozie
Alex dudu Yemi
Otunba Sebanjo

Etc
But the uneducated ones do not

First of all, how many uneducated billionaires do you know?

Second, what is the ratio of death between educated billionaires and their uneducated counterparts?

If you haven't considered the above questions, then you have merely assumed that every elite billionaire always lived longer than every uneducated billionaire.

You assumption may not be the case. That is why in the sciences, we always carry out an experiment or a non-experimental study such as cross-sectional which would be most fitting for the kind of assumption (educated guess) that you have made.

Until you have tested your guess, you should not be arguing about it so boldly.

"Immoral act" is subjective, call it adultery or fornication or porn or whatsoever they did not Immoral act.

What is Immoral to you might not be Immoral to me.

Immorality is relative, not subjective.

A? ¬A

Where A? = what is A?

¬A = is not A

A?¬A = What is A(?) is not A.


For example

Supposing A is a dog

Does it make any sense to determine the identity of A and then make a negative statement after about A?

Is this statement correct: A is a dog is not a dog?

Of course not because A will always be A. If you are taken by your subjective reasoning and argue that A is a cat when in fact A is a dog, you are fooling only yourself.

However, as with relativism, A is a dog might not look like a dog. A much acceptable statement.

However, I don't understand how A is an immoral act does not look like an immoral act to you.

For the sake of ethics and law, while it may not be a crime to sleep with married women, it is a practice that generally falls below the norms in every sane culture that we know of. Infidelity is frowned upon by many cultures, and there are even cultures such as in many Islamic states where infidelity is punished by death.

Cheating is widely unacceptable. It is immoral by every standard.

Hello please provide evidence of Christian terrorism or a christian terrorist group you know of on earth.

As for the previous killings in the days of the Crusaders, yeah it happened, infact unbelievers were killed in the early days of the law (law not faith) when basic Judaism was practiced pre-Christ. Since the advent of the Christian faith, except for zealous fanatic people who were called the crusaders.

The Christian faith rest on love, faith and forgiveness.

One key issue I keep finding out in the Hausa/Fulani islamic move is how they keep claiming they will 'never forget' and will 'revenge the blood shed'. This begs the question of forgiveness and peace being preached and pushed.

Somebody is fooling somebody! We have a case where religion is being pushed above humanity.

The northern agenda is a mix of religion, poverty and slavery/blindness to education.

In the end, let us ask ourselves how Saudi Arabia, Dubai and thriving middle east countries have stayed afloat without war and terror while nations like Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria, Iraq and co seem not to have gotten it.

THE PERSON remains the key issue - and those who yield to become terrorist are fueled by a religion that finds it easy and acceptable to dehumanize the next person.

The Lord's Resistance Army ( LRA ). Operates in four African countries. One of their main goals is to rule Uganda according to the Ten Commandments.

Anti-balaka in the Central African Republic

Also, read this:

Muslims returning to ethnically-cleansed areas of western Central African Republic (CAR) have in some cases been forced to abandon their religion, said Amnesty International in a report published today.

The report reveals how Muslims who have returned to their homes in large parts of western CAR following the 2014 killing spree and mass forced displacement are barred by armed anti-balaka militia from practicing or manifesting their religion in public. Some have been forcibly converted to Christianity on the threat of death.
https://www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/central-african-republic-unprotected-muslims-forced-abandon-religion

Amnesty found that in western CAR, outside of areas where Muslims live under the protection of UN peacekeepers, Muslims have no freedom to practice their religion in public. Prayers are effectively banned, traditional Muslim clothing cannot be freely worn, and the reconstruction of mosques, an estimated 400 of which were destroyed across the country, is not allowed. Elsewhere in CAR, in Bangui and Carnot, only a handful of mosques have been rebuilt.
[Same Link as above]

A Christian militia is suspected to have killed 12 people, including children, and wounded 30 others in an attack in the Central African Republic (CAR), officials say.

"Among the victims were children and a disembowelled pregnant woman. Some managed to escape and there are more than 10 wounded who have been transferred to Bangui," an unnamed military official is quoted by AFP news agency as saying.

If Christains type of violence as you pressumed is what we see in the north today, there will be no cause for an alarm, let it stop at insult and not taking of life, our greatest regret on the last day will be to find out that killing of a moslem is not sin and that there is a reward just as moslems believe about us.
Did i hear u say Moslems are tolerants than christains? i think that is the highest joke of the year!!! you are quoting same nairaland that you need to take an oath before you comment on their thread.
or is it a religion that started killing people because of Mohammed(PBUH) picture that was portrayed in a far away country.
i served in Katsina state, kaita LGA to be precise and they warned us right in the camp(before Nigerian soldiers) to stay away from their women and religion if we want to leave alive, which christain state will say such?
If Buhari's sympathetic and supportive statement about Bokoharam is to appeal to the north for supports, then there is no need sending our billions of naira to the same North that love Bokoharam in the name of security vote.
Buhari told Nigerians that the "Cock and Baboons will be soaked in blood" if he looses election, was there massive killings after he lost 2003 and 2007 or not?
People who are powerless seem to talk alot(insults as you called it) and you people have to thank the Christain God and the bible that made it so.

Christianity has its own bloody past too. So, there was a time in history when Christianity took its own intolerance beyond words and executed non-Christians, especially Jews and Muslims. And there are still countries today where Christian terrorists target Muslims.

Fanaticism can predict violence, and many of you Christians are fanatics. You show your own intolerance by cursing out and insulting people with contrary opinions. Supposing you have guns, you would be murdering those atheists and Muslims up and down.

But gun running is not very popular down south, and guns here are used to commit other heinous crimes such as armed robbery, thuggery, and kidnappings.

But in the North, guns always seem to come cheaply into people's hands just as guns got into the hands of Fulani herdsmen.

I still maintain my stance that Muslims are on the average more tolerant than Christians. Christians appear to be peaceful because they hardly resort to violence for religious purposes, but their intolerance is evident.

For example, Freeze has been using Bible verses to teach the Word for sometime now. It turned out that he stopped getting called to functions which was obviously a case of blacklisting. While the Muslims might have killed Freeze for touching on issues that they disagree with, Christians are finding other ways to persecute Freeze. So, what is the difference? The difference is in the type of persecution. One group (Muslims) will kill Freeze, one group (Christians) will blacklist Freeze in the hope that he would not get gigs and would definitely shut up.

As far as religion is concerned, especially the 3 major Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), there is nothing like religious tolerance.

Any of these religion is capable of breeding terrorism. All these three religions have been violent at one time or the other in their history. And all these religions are still violent even till today. There are Muslim terrorist groups, there are Christian terrorist groups and there are Jewish terrorist groups.

China did not just ban Islam. They banned religion. They are closing down churches and cracking down on priests and pastors just as much as they are driving Islam out.

China understands that any form of religion is capable of breeding terrorism. It is not only Islam.

You ended up talking rubbish, who are the christains brainwashed and what is their believe that affects humanity like the killings we are seeing here.
On what basis did Bokoharam choose and pick Buhari as their spoke persons for negotiation with Government.
Wasn't the highest bombing recorded when he lost election
What did he mean by the attack on bokoharam is attack on the north.
There is no blackmailing tactics that passes promise of a reward in paradise when you kill an infidel which islam supports and that is why they are never scared to die
What is the logic behind Derecalization, rehabilitation and reintegration into the society when the war is still on, isn't it a way of recycling them.
Forget this your long writeup, we all know the truth but decide to keep quite and be praying for a leader that will see beyond ethnic and religion line or better still a peaceful disintegration.
Northern leaders should continue enjoying the money for security votes while it last.

I don't know why you people like to get violent when someone opposes you. The difference between you and a Boko Haram member is in the type of violence.

While the Boko Haram member kills, the average Nigerian Christian curses and gets very insultive and mannerless.

For the record, Buhari rejected Boko Haram's nomination and has long put it off as a ploy to ruin his name by the then ruling PDP.

As for Buhari's words concerning killing Boko Haram members, it could be merely the words of a politician appealing to the North for support. After all, the then president, GEJ, called Boko Haram members his brothers.

And like I wrote earlier, many of you Christians are too rude and intolerant. When someone opposes you, your first reaction is always to throw insults.

I must confess, Muslims are on the average more tolerant than Christians.

Put it to the test. Go to the Muslim thread and abuse Allah. They would either ignore you or tell you to leave their thread. But abuse a mere man like Oyedepo, and all these Christians will start frothing around the mouth.

Hypocrites!!!

Sharrap! Yet they kept Leah Sharibu out of 105 because she’s a Christian and you’re here spewing trash from your gutter. Continue!!

The emir of Gwoza that was killed by Boko Haram in 2014 was a Christian abi?

The Borno mosque that was bombed in 2016 that killed 22 early morning worshippers was owned by your pastor abi? And the 22 worshippers that died inside were Christians abi?

Some of you Christians are just too mannerless and obviously violent by nature.

A Friend Wanted Me To Lend Him Money I Told Him This. Am I Wrong?

So a friend of mine told me that his girlfriend is about to lose her admission, because school fee deadline is tomorrow. He asked me to lend him 70k.

I know how he loves this girl so I asked him to fill a form before I give him the money. Am I wrong for doing that?

He started saying a whole lot of things and has not spoken to me since. Note this is half of all my savings and I have a purpose for this particular fund just that the time has not come.

Advice is needed please

If you can afford to lose the 70k, by all means, lend him, form or not.

But I will tell you something, never lend money to friends. It doesn't always end well. It destroys relationships.

So, if you have any amount that you can afford to lose, give him.

For me, I can't afford to lose 70k. Although, there might be exceptions. But I will never lend a friend 70k to pay school fees for a girlfriend.

Has any other government or country defeated Terrorism? The answer is yes. Were the presidents of those nations spirits? The answer is No. Google is your friend.

If our president cannot defeat Boko and their likes, let him accept his inability, weakness, lack of capacity etc and bow out. Remember when he was campaigning for votes before 2015 election he said, he was going to defeat Boko haram if given power, he promised a lot of things,

I was happy when he won the election and felt a breath of fresh air. But 6 years down the line security challenges even metamorphosed into a more complicated issue before his own eyes.

Who is to blame? I that voted him to solve the problem right? Bros think deeply and park political, regional, tribal and religious sentiments aside, and think straight like someone who wants this country to work again like the way the founding fathers wanted it to work.

No country has defeated terrorism.

And as for Buhari, he has tried by drastically limiting the actions of Boko Haram. The frequency and sophistication of attacks has reduced.

Before Buhari, Boko Haram had recorded casualties even outside Borno. They had recorded massive casualties even in Abuja when they masterminded the Nyanya bombings.

But today, Boko Haram has been reduced solely to kidnappings. When last did we hear of a Boko Haram bombing or a high number of casualties at a point in time?

The reason why terrorism is hard to defeat is due to the brainwashing and blackmailing tactics that the terrorists use in recruiting people.

Like one soldier said once, "the more you kill them, the more they come."

The question is: "why are these young men and women never scared to die?"

Even our soldiers get scared sometimes and run away. But these men don't seem to give a damn about dying.

It is the effect of serious brainwashing.

It is like those Christians who have been brainwashed into believing something. Show them Bible verses to show them that they are wrong and they would blindly argue on.

the enemy of Christianity is real and becoming bold by the day... awake oh Ye sons of God and pray for ur deliverance

Christians are not their only enemies.

These animals hate anything that goes against their madness. Even if you are a Muslim. If you don't agree with them, they will kill you whenever they catch you.

persius555:
They conceal their face because they are ashamed of their actions.

Sick humans

They cover their faces so that no one will be able to identify them.

From many indications, many of these Boko Haram members lead normal lives. I even heard that in some villages, people know their neighbors who are Boko Haram members. So, they always alert the military.

I apologize for the long post... So the thing is, I am 22 years old currently in 200 level. My performance is very poor, in fact I'm currently on probation(I'm suppose to be in 300 level by now) and that's not because I'm not intelligent or I'm dull o. it's just that i don't show commitment towards my studies because I've completely lost interest in the course I'm currently studying because of its calculation aspect. I hate calculations a lot. Let me say, I'm more of a theory person. I have tried applying for change of course but i was denied maybe because of my poor performance. My Father doesn't know anything about this. "no issues at all Daddy, my result is good", my response whenever he asked me about my result.

So i have finally decided to apply for withdrawal from my current school to register and sit for jamb again. This time i will apply for a course in a different institution. This course in question is a course I've wanted to study long ago but my current school don't offer it. My friend studies it and I've done research on the course my self. I'm very sure i can do it this time.

Now i don't even know how to approach my father with this. I know I've fvcked up big time. The man will be so so annoyed and disappointed in me but i can't continue like this, i want to get things on track, i want to fix my life and start afresh. Right now I'm just confused and frustrated. Nairalanders, i will need your advice and suggestions. Please what's your take on this?

What is the course that has these calculations that you don't like?

Oya, sorry, my sweetpie. Don't be angry.

This forum is for discussion. We must not always agree on every issue. And issues like this predictably return varying opinions.

I understand your point. But still, killing is extreme. Even in many countries, murderers are no longer sentenced to death.

Death sentence has been cancelled in many jurisdictions, and what we have now is life sentence. This is in respect of the sanctity of life. Life is precious.

Waziri is Sultan’s favorite, Buhari can never tamper with Sultan’s choice.

Wait till after the Judgement on Benue and Plateau states.

Please, stop it.

The Sultan of Sokoto is one of the most neutral prominent figures in Nigerian when it comes to politics.

And supposing he is not even neutral, Buhari can tamper with his choice and nothing will happen. If Sokoto breaks into a riot, the president will simply declare a state of emergency and soldiers will be everywhere do deal mercilessly with miscreants.

Just keep one thing in mind: the most prominent figure in the North presently is Muhammadu Buhari. His influence is comparable only to that enjoyed by Ahmadu Bello while he was alive. Not even the Sultan of Sokoto comes close to Buhari in terms of influence. And it has little to do with his position as president.

This is why I always thank drivers when I alight from vehicles... How can you follow a truck bumper to bumper on a hilly road?

Rather thank God.

No matter how careful a driver is, he is not prone to accidents.

Some madmen may run into his path.

I remembered driving to Lagos from Ibadan. The road was narrow but had traffic going opposite ways. My lane was moving slowly while the other lane was moving freely. Suddenly, I heard a screech of tyres ahead. One madman who was on our lane had moved into the free moving lane withour checking first. A truck was moving quickly through the free lane and on seeing the car of the madman, he swerved onto my own lane just to avoid that madman. The bus in front of me took a slight bashing before the truck driver swerved back onto his lane and then collided with the car of the madman, dragging it through the road. We just thank God it was not a truck loaded with oil. No one died.

I disagree about him destroying the nation's name. He brought his own name to disrepute and his illustrious career to a grinding halt. End of discussion. They trumped Anthony Joshua's name to high heavens as a Briton, never mentioning his Nigerian heritage unless the guy goes extra length to associate himself with his root. However, a university professor from Drexel..... how does that have anything to with Nigeria? Except for the name, I see no relationship. If any UNN, OAU, UI, ABU, Unilag or Uniport professor should wack a WHO grant like that, for instance, come back and talk about a Nigerian professor.

When Anthony Joshua lived a world of crime, Britain never rejected him. As a matter of fact, a British judge gave Anthony Joshua a chance at a better life. When Joshua was caught with drugs, the judge told him he better chose one--prison or boxing. Joshua chose boxing.

So, you people should stop all this persecution nonsense.

There are many foreign professors in American universities. It doesn't take away their nationalities, does it?

What is provoke? Don't your fellow males provoke you? Do you hit everyone of them?

Two people quarrelling is no big deal. But when one person gets physical, that's where doom starts.

Do you know what the male neighbor further did besides touching her waist before she picked the knife?

Think!!!!

One does not need to get physical to make a case for provocation or to begin a doom.

Cyber bullying can lead to criminal charges. It is an act of provocation and you can make a case for it at the police station. Yet, it does not involve physical contact but still has the capacity to push the victim to commit suicide.

You are the one who needs to think.

The summary of the police statement stated that the man was stabbed after he had been warned severally by the suspect. That boils down to provocation, and not the mere physical contact.

Whatever happened besides touching her waist is only speculations to the court. What the court will admit is the police report and the testimonies of everyone involved directly or indirectly. It is not our duty to fill up those stories. If they are not in the police report, then they are your speculations to the court.


This is a clear case of voluntary manslaughter. She was provoked into using the bottle, but that will not be enough to save her from serving at least 3 years in prison.

Newcastle win or draw.
