Not long ago, prices of eggs was all that mattered

Now egg prices are down, gas prices are down

Wolf is trying to agree with you about eggs.

I will say it a billion times. You are immature

Say it a trillion times so it becomes more true.

zendi:
You have been too busy with antifa warfare overseas to remember the ancient rivalry between the two monarchies.

As I said, like Israel and Palestine, and about as long. It's sad.

fredoooooo:
The day we all put our hypocrisy aside and go for truths things will change till then everyone shoukd enjoy whatever they create.

How about we start by you first putting your own hypocrisy aside so we can all learn from you?

It saddens me that my Orolu people are killing our neighbours and vice versa. We are currently no different to Israel and Palestine.

Neither community is enjoying what is created, as our farms are on lockdown, creating inflation on already cash strapped communities.

fredoooooo:
You can do that yourself , no need to send anyone..
Lati kalaye to daye, things are like that and will continue to be like that.

Many have tried doing "that" themselves and some are now fertilising the earth. So if you want me to join them you can come do to me what Ifon Osun and Ilobu are doing to each other.

Pity, though, is you think "things are like that" when things shouldn't be like that. If two Yoruba towns formed by supposed relatives are killing each other, I can just about imagine how we'd behave towards the non-yorubas in our communities.

IPDGP:
Shut up, yoruba is not fighting for republic

Come shut me up. I dare you.

fredoooooo:
We fight , its a family fight ..
We will go inside and talk it over in family ..
This is a minor issue..
We're yoruba .

You should try telling that to Ilobu and my Ifon Osun who are killing each other.

How can monarchs head a Republic

"Lead" and "head" don't mean the same thing.

You are a dishonest person. This is what I responded to

So our discussion is not saying white race is better as IjeBos and you claimed.

Stop being lazy and ask basilico what he was responding to, and which you jumped into without reading. He will tell you why his response began with "I don't believe genes make a race more intelligent".

bemeruca:
I was in primary 3 and my class mate arinze cannot add 2 numbers together. He was the oldest kid in the school.

If genes is not a factor, then dogs should he as smart as humans. We all have brains after all.

And you don't consider that he wasn't taught?

You shouldn't have been in the same class with dogs if you had schoolfees paid.

bemeruca:
Sorry, debunked by who,

Pay school fees and learn.

It was not about race. The conversation is between me, basilico and raumdeuter.

There is not a single thing we said that implied white genes are smarter. Infact, we were debunking that claim.

Ask Basilico who was the first of you 3 to jump into my conversation why he mentioned race.

Your argument is genes make a person smarter. And that's been debunked too, you'd find if you just do some small research. I've asked basilico to educate you and hope he does

basilico:
I don't believe genes make a race more intelligent. The environment, mentoring,ambition ,,,role models, and culture can contribute to specific groups of people being smarter than others though.
[s]Wisdom iand intelligence is somewhat hereditary but a lot of factors come into play before it's apparent.[/s].
The education system is a major player. I like the IGCSE a lot.

I'd like you to explain the above to your fellow magas please.

I deleted the hereditary bit because wisdom and intelligence are not gene or DNA dependent, but a factor of environment. As in, if you are surrounded by a wise and intelligent family, their wisdom and intelligence would rub off on you regardless of you sharing their DNA or genes or not. Equally, if you are born to a wise and intelligent family and are removed at birth to a stupïd and ïgnorant family, your DNA or genes will not make you wise and intelligent.

bemeruca:
The jokes on you.

The conversation was about race, and it's been resolved before you jumped in with your îgnorant innate intelligence, which no one with a brain considers in this day and age.

https://www.nairaland.com/4508641/american-politics-thread-trump-47th/5491#137222050

bemeruca:
Whether we like it or not, certain individuals are innately more intelligent than others, and genetics plays a role in this. For example, someone mentioned Down syndrome.

To start with, this conversation started when one individual here claimed DNA makes Caucasians more intelligent than blacks, so it started with race.

You wouldn't expect the learning ability of a Down syndrome of black or white to be equal to a non-down, I hope.

It's not true that there's a thing called innate intelligence. If there were, a week old baby might use toilet roll instead of needing a nappy

Just as you can exercise to train your muscles can you exercise to develop your brain. It's why I keep asking you to go back to school and pay school fees this time please. Your genes are not limiting you, your lack of effort is.

And some of my Yoruba people want me to support a Yoruba republic that these two might lead?

Doctors and nurses in Nigeria are currently not paid enough, and are japaing to where they are paid more. I say this first to point out that without free health, practitioners are underpaid.

If Nigeria decides to provide free health, we'd need to significantly increase the health budget portion by reducing that of other items like education, security, wages, or significantly increase the tax you pay, and none of those will go down well with most of us.

Basically, we just don't have enough funds nor resolve for free healthcare for all. Sadly.

On this basis, I establish that the earth is square and 5 years old.

You can choose to do what you want with it
It does not remove it from reality nor delete it from my experience
What's important is the facts that are established not convincing you to believe anything

IjeBos:
The Brotherhood of Black Men who think they are White Americans is arguing their "black" genes make them less intelligent than White People's genes.

You can't make this stuff up.

You can't really, and I'm lost for words.

Kukutente23:
As for the story I told about a Christian and a private company summoned to a Sharia court, that was a personal firsthand experience not a media story.

So I guess I can disregard it since you have no evidence it happened and are not asking me to just believe you.

FoolishBoy419:
You suggested that his beliefs are rare and I showed you that it's a very much popular belief in some circles among white people.

You need to get your temper in check. This is childishness

I did not suggest his beliefs are rare. There's lots of ïgnorant stupïd people who believe what he believes.

And could you kindly stop telling me what to do or how old to be since you are not my dad or god?

klimkid:
Once upon a time, switching on the TV at 8 p.m. for the NTA Network News or catching your favourite local drama was a family ritual.

I find it amusing when people think tradition in their home is tradition in everyone's home.

My family ritual in the evening was maths and English, 7pm-11pm, and if I want telly, it would be, sneak after 1am after parents are asleep, and that's if there was light. You'd need the help of the gods if caught.

Usually after 12, it would be a book, which I'd hold up to the window to read with light from the neighbour because they had one of those noisy better than us things.

But your point. Now, I'm finding it difficult to concentrate long enough on a book not to talk of terrestrial telly. And when I think of the so called new generation, I can see how reading itself might be a non-starter for some. That does sadden me because there's things hidden in books that you'd not find on YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime, at least not to the depth they'd be in a book. But on the flip side, YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime has democratised information so there's a lot more than one NTA could have ever provided.

And on that note, TV license is due. It's got to be paid if your telly gets terrestrial or anything live.

FoolishBoy419:
It's like you've never come across 'IQ and the Wealth of Nations.' by Richard Lynn (or so). A good section of them do believe their genes make them smarter than others, especially Africans that they say are the least intelligent race

Note the person I responded to believes Caucasian's genes make them smarter than black him, and one more does not validate that opinion as far as I am concerned.

And the Richard Lynn you mentioned has done such shoddy work that makes his opinion and belief not worth considering, not to talk of me wasting my time to read a book he wrote.

FoolishBoy419:
Calm down and read my post again. I'm telling you what others believe. Simple

I'm not particularly interested in what others apart from your very self believes at the moment, thank you very much.

If I were interested in what others believed, I'd be discussing with them and not you. So stick to what you believe please.

My general opinion of belief can be read here

And please don't be calm if you don't want to. I can live with it.

You're yet to help with the answer to my question though

And I've told you why I haven't.

I don't trust your power of predictions, but trust others will give you answers you need or want.

Eureka!!

I fail to see how this eurekas your claim made below. Enlighten me please.

It will amaze you that a Sharia court ordered a Company to appear before it in a northern state based on rent payment.

basilico:
The IDF has a policy to exterminate those who threaten the Jewish state. Self defence
P/S I didn't watch the video.

Obviously not, you didn't watch the video, or you wouldn't be misrepresenting the position of some/many Israelis and the IDF regarding how much land they intend to steal.

Good thing is some will watch it and it will inform their opinion of you.

Redemption88:
"See, I like to predict the possible outcomes of event before the beginning. Events that has to do with humans ooi. It's so much FUN".

So my question is, "is the background important or not?"

You ask about the background, but seem to be unaware that your prediction of the possible outcomes might just be you actually creating eventual outcomes. You at least don't see how your so called predictions might be you determining the future you get.

And note how you've left out your background, which might explain your negative predicting.

I do hope you don't only use your powers to predict negative outcomes, and know that you can equally predict positive outcomes for yourself too.

Kukutente23:
Now you generalise for Osun state. The same fault you accused me of previously.

Replace my Osun State with UK, France, Lagos, and I'd add Nigeria, but your below makes me hesitant.

Kukutente23:
It will amaze you that a Sharia court ordered a Company to appear before it in a northern state based on rent payment issue. I'll try to find the story.

You do that please. Because I'm not likely to believe your story.
