Imagine any call out of atrocities by these people is labelled antisemitic! I just wonder why people can't see the Palestinians are in Israeli built Auschwitz!
StaffofOrayan: Very soon they would convince you the youths are responsible for lack of electricity.
The youth of every country watches soccer, listens to music etc that is not an excuse for the level of unemployment. You sound like in developed countries the youths don't have fun?
Let any govt institution declare a job opening for 20 applicants and 10,000 would apply, I think our youths are actually very sick and traumatized, you included sir
Lack of electricity is an opportunity to open a shop and sell electric. These days smart people are even planting panels in the sun to harvest it.
Sorry, but it is the lazy who wait expecting government (that has alway been useless) to create employment. Smart hardworking people do not stand there blaiming the 'weather' for their inability.
sreamsense: This is true to some extent, many youths now have irrelevant skills not the relevant skill that will put food on their tables or make them become employable. They can talk about Ronaldo and Messi biographies and all about their families and girl friends ever dated, but can never say anything satisfactory about professions that will put food on their tables. They run after Davido and Bunaboy, but never care much about their own future. 85% of university and polytechnic graduates in this country are potential unemployable youths after NYSC. Many of them have laptops only to watch video, listen to useless music, play games, do yahoo-yahoo and socialize. Nothing more! Academic research is alien to them. They only believe in graduating and blame government for their woes when karma begins to knock their doors and ask them how they spent their time in tertiary intutitions; they will be blaming buhari, blaming jonathan and so on like their fore fathers did before they went their ways.
kode12: The load will most likely be pushed to you, as their claim will be they having an automated system. Since there's no way to tell if you entered the details manually or auto-filled the forms you'll have a hard time proving the error came from them.
There must be a way to show what details you entered to prove where the error came from.
If the error is there's I suggest you push the load back on them by reporting them to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and kill them with negative reviews!
GalaticHorde: it is but when the defendant is the presidency and the presidency exercises the unconstitutional power to go rogue against the legislature and officials of the justice. In an ideal case officials of the justice department will have reasonably unlimited investigate powers, but given the defendant, this isn't an ideal case is it?
The Presidency in USA has no right to go rogue. He's being impeached for the exact reason that he did go rogue. The President of Nigeria has however not gone rogue, as far as I can tell, and if he does, we should expect the House of Reps to impeach him (if he did not have a majority in it like Trump hasn't), and be found guilty by the Senate which is the court if he did not have a majority there which our President and that of America both have and enjoy.
I don't know what you mean by "not an ideal case" though. Don't know what should be ideal about it since impeachments are rather rare and no two have been the same, and they are not subject to criminal proceedings in a court of law. Did you hear them arguing whether witnesses could be called or not?
It's an impeachment. Members of your party who's election you might have campaigned for and donated money to are on the jury. The equivalent is a criminal case where the accused gets to chose who tries him which is definitely not ideal. But the President is not a criminal, yet, nor is he being tried in a court of law.
sagenaija: Today is a billionth year from some point in the past.
Is there any EVIDENCE today that there has been an 'evolution' in any known species from what we have known in documented history to something 'new' or addtional or different?
The obvious answer is NO!
Evolution is STILL a THEORY. Those running with it are doing so based on FAITH not science. The very same thing they blame creationists for.
You seem very intelligent. I'm certain you will research.
budaatum: Is there any scientific evidence for evolution?
There's an HIV strain mutating as you read this, there's a fossil record going back millions of years - where do you want to start?
GoodBadandUgly: At home, religious indoctrination is the first form of orientation an African child receives. At a very early and impressionable age, infants are taught to recite meaningless syllables called prayers. Children are brainwashed by parents with various religious and spiritual myths. Their minds are infused with all sorts of religious dogmas. Parents ensure that children are brought up in their faith — the faith of the family and the faith of their parents. Children are taught to believe and follow, and not to question religious teachings even when there is every reason to do so.
African children are brought up to believe them and to swallow them hook, line and sinker. Not to question one’s family religion is seen as virtuous and as a mark of a good child. This religious tradition is upheld and handed down unchallenged from one generation to another in Africa. The religious brainwashing continues in schools. [/b]Most African colleges are religious indoctrination centers. Western missionaries and Arab jihadists brought formal education (the model widely used today) to the continent. [b]They established schools to win converts and recruit new members, not really to educate Africans. So schools in Africa are covert churches and mosques. [b]Education is faith based.[/b]And this religious tradition is still upheld in most schools across the continent.
I am happy to take intelligent and intellectually HONEST questions. Ignorant ABUSE will be ignored.
First, our parents are doing the best they know, handing to us that which was handed down to them, and unless you wish to claim our "brainwashed parents" lack experience of the efficacy of what they indoctrinate into us, it most definitely can't be "meaningless syllables". (I'm open to argument about the ignorance of our parents however, some, at least, who did not question, or learn that questioning was how one learned.)
Second. It is not "Western missionaries and Arab jihadists religions" alone that "taught to believe and follow, and not to question religious teachings even when there is every reason to do so", for despite my tribe claiming Ile-Ife was built by the old and the young we have many admonishments upholding the silent obedience of the young, which makes me think it is cultural, since very many civilizations have evolved from that same "believe and follow, and not to question" to, use the senses scientifically to constantly question always, and which they would claim evolved from their "religious brainwashing continues in schools" state.
And finally. Have you got a better alternative to "formal education"? Would you rather people weren't formally educated?
wirinet: How can the plaintive prove the case beyond reasonable doubt When the defendant refuse to come to court, refuse to allow witnesses to testify and refuse to hand over evidence in its possession. It's like murder suspect refusing to come to court to testify, refuse to allow actual witnesses to come to court to testify and keeps the murder weapon in his cupboard, but refuses to hand it over to the police. He then shouts "no evidence of murder" when the prosecution says they don't have enough evidence to prove murder beyond reasonable doubt.
Excuse me, but this sounds like "I fought the law and won". Is it not the plaintiffs duty to get the evidence and not that of the perpetrator to hand over evidence of their crime?
Still, contrary to the "aka" of Timbuktuo you responded to, the plaintiff does not determine "Guilty of collusion". The plaintiff just presents the evidence they accuse the perpetrator of. The judge or jury determines guilt, in this case, the Senate, the equivalent of a packed jury for all intent.
ednut1: Stop the lame comparison if any northern apc or pdp senator darea speak against buhari . His people will deal with him. Ask shehu sani and saraki how market
Just as the people who elected those who speak against Trump too might be dealt with by their electorate (or not). We shall ask them after the elections in 2020.
Besides, Nigeria is much less politically mature than USA, so yes, stop the lame comparison and grow our own democracy!
Many will find bubu's request to Universities hard to stomach but anyone who has had the opportunity for foreign education would understand that our education system is designed to oppress Nigerians and keep us blind lest our eyes open and we ask who killed our fathers. Pity religion too promotes this ignorance by making the eating of the fruits of trees of knowledge a sin and boko haram
Time, though, will resolve this as individual ignorance reduces as more attend the Nairaland University right here.
Learn one's own secular history and use it as the basis of all other studies. Taking into consideration genuine and religious-neutral local historians, academics and scholars.
. Continental History -
One would have to maintain the same modus operandus of (1). Here one would learn of the Dogon and KM.T e.t.c
. World History -
Now, eventhough one would have to approach with an opened mind and without prejudice, by doing so, the African narrative can never be bargained, exchanged or put up for negotiation.
It's important to note that the history outside of Africa is largely unreliable due to the various nonsensical, misleading and false narratives that exist out there.
Apart from the African, noone else can be trusted to determine history.
Studying history from a genuine (non-Abrahamic religious) African historian's perspective, allows for us to be presented with the best and more logical version possible.
Therefore, the best advice for anyone who is ready to learn or study either American, Asian, or European history, should does that after an extensive study of one's own continent and under the guidance of religious-neutral African historians. i.e Cheikh Anta Diop, Dr Hendrik Clarke, Dr Ivan Sertima, Paul Barton, e.t.c aswell as making use of the relevance of African sercular history.
How many Nigerians have you seen studying history without having been brainwashed by the Biblical narrative first? How many Nigerians have you seen reading anything in English they didn't hone by reading the Bible first? How many Nigerians do you know who even have access to the info you listed here, or have an interest - if they have the ability to read at all? And who do you see preaching the above to people?
My point here is, well done for preaching the above to people. Know that first, we provide people with a library of books to teach people to read, seems to be the process adopted here, and since most are reluctant to read, we inform them that the Word itself is the God, so that it is read in worship. What you would have done is add or replace the above books to the library, which I commend. From experience of equipping a library though, I must inform you that many do not read at all, not even the Bible that they have, not to talk of "Cheikh Anta Diop, Dr Hendrik Clarke, Dr Ivan Sertima, Paul Barton, e.t.c" that many haven't heard of.
sonmvayina: You are finding it hard to accept the fact that jesus is fiction... You must look for a place to fit him in...
I know how hard it is... To let go of all the lies you have been fed with all your youth.. You have to... Jesus is just a made up character... There is no where in the entire old testament that speak of a God becoming a man or dying for sins.. No where, so where did the Christian get the idea from?... The jews understood that atonement is a process not a one off thing.. And it is what they had to do for themselves.. Nobody can atone for anyone... You have to cleanse your spirit by yourself..... By confessing and forsaking your evil ways.. God will forgive.. "A contrite heart you will not spurn".. So says the psalmist..
You are finding it hard to understand that it matters as much to me whether Jesus is fiction or not as whether Alice Through the Looking Glass or Ikemefuna in Things Fall Apart is fiction. In fact, it doesn't even matter to me whether the entire idea of God is fiction or not. But you'd find it hard to comprehend, I guess.
What I referred you to had a similar idea to that which you expressed and I shared. No one is asking you to believe fiction, and I personally, believe nothing.
sonmvayina: Consciousness is not a thing.. We are alive because we are conscious, when the consciousness (God) leaves the body the body experiences death.. And the body becomes unconscious... I drew this idea from genesis 1:26..let us make man in our own image after our likeness ".. Man = consciousness +physical body.. God provided the consciousness and the earth provided the dust for the physical body.. Man is the miracle of nature... In the babylonian creation myth.. God(Enki) and mother Ninmah (the earth) where the creators of man... In yoruba it is Obatala and the earth too(xxxx)..same idea with different nomenclature... Same all round the earth.. In igbo it is Igwe and Ala... Same God different nomenclature..
I wonder if you ever heard of Mysteries of Genesis by Charles Fillmore?
Lexusgs430: Drive with due care and attention..........
Get make of car, colour, registration, time, street/road any other relevant info you remember and send to police. Don't worry if you don't get it all, they can check on camera.
Remember to state you were wearing expensive clothes that required expensive mending.
Kolping: I would say, Nigeria is stuck at the bus stop going neither forward nor backward.
Nigerians are stuck. You, me, every one of us, stuck. Unless martians made our country what it is and not us. UK, after all, is the paradise the British built for themselves. (I admit, by plunder, theft and deceit, but it still weren't built for them by martians).
P.s. I just joined here and expect to sound disjointed. I apologise.
marylandcakes: Is it only judiciary? Nothing works in that country. The Queen entered same train with other passengers to go to her Norfolk home Sandringham, for Christmas.
The passengers don't 'work' in Nigeria. Neither does the Queen.
