You are clearly insane.

I so hate the fact that they distort the truth and outright lie. I can see them burning in hell yet asking for the aircon to be turned down, "they're sweaty and hot! It's those dems and fake press who say this heaven is hell".

From over here across the pond, you sure all are funny.

church of England is an authority. If she finds investing in marijuana as NOTHING against Christianity, who are you to question her....

Excise me!? I wonder why you think we hold synods! I'm CoE and we don't adopt this "no questioning of authority" ideology of yours! We question everything that If you put 2 CoEs in the Garden of Eden and God said "this fruit, don't eat", we'd be asking Why? Why? Why?! And if we don't get a satisfactory answer, we'd ask the fruit by eating it because questioning is precisely our leading ideology.

I think the CoE will have to justify this at the next synod meeting. We forced a pull out in investment in tobacco and I can see objections to investing in dope!

Thanks for this. You remind me of my father, who art in heaven.

You can't swim?

What is pata majidun?

I can swim now, but couldn't then, not properly at least when I was 9, and I did go very far out. Dem take water curse me. I just have to see it and I'm in. I was so in a couple of years ago that I went swimming in water that paralysed me from the waist down. I didn't know there was schistosomiasis in the water.

Pata Majidun is the local made pant that mallahs who quarried for sand in the Majidun River at Mile 12 used to wear. I've searched all over and found nothing but imagine pants made from the fibre shown below. Swimming trunks, it was not, and my vanity stupidly appeared to be more important to me at the time.

Now you got me thinking. Why the heck did we call people "mallah". It sounds like we're calling them the "unsaved" or claiming they "lack salvation" lol. We sure are funny in Nigeria.

I wonder o. Those that have degree are here wailing while he that supposedly "doesn't have waec" is the number one citizen and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Commander-in-chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Oh! I frogrot! He must have slapped the faces of all the Nigerians with their waecs and their degrees and occupied Aso Rock for the second time, while they were looking for his waec that they accuse him of not having!

Shame on you my bubu!

Or shame on you all with you seemingly useless waecs and degrees!

You choose!

wish I listened bro.....but d most funniest thing is am not angry as am supposed to be...... like have just been laffing has my guys dey para here.

At least you have a sense of humour, and way too much money.

Pm me please. She told me to collect the 500k for her. Her whatsapp is refusing your calls.

dirtycoin:
Lol.

He is in love with her, hence he only thinks with his heart and not his mind.

Don't insult his heart, please! He does not think at all!

Abeg, op. She definitely needs another 500k. She will pay it all back yesterday.

If this sacking is illegal, they should go and challenge it in court. And before anybody tells me Nigerian courts don't work, my retort is, begging works much less!

The way science works is to attempt to give the best explanation for observable data, the prevailing explanation might change with new data.
Yes all of science can be termed speculation, but speculations based of careful collation of data and providing the best explanation for the collated data. Most times these science theories can be used to make accurate predictions of future situations or data not yet observed.
Now read the works of Edwin Hubble and how he came about the Big Bang theory. He noticed that all galaxies and objects were accelerating from us, and the further away from us, the faster the acceleration. This fact is undisputed. So the onus is now the person that can provide the best explanation for this phenomenon. Now, anybody with a better explanation would deserve a Nobel price.
The cosmic microwave background was used to validate the big bang. It was predicted before it was even discovered.

I'm not a novice to any of this so don't assume I've no knowledge whatsoever. Even you call it "best explanation", and accept that it is "speculation", so you can hardly expect me to claim it as my knowledge, and you definitely can not be asking me to believe it! I don't do believe!

What we have is the best assumptions from "careful collation of data" very long after the fact, out of which we have "provided the best explanation", which is exactly the same way ("careful collation of data" as we could at the time within the confines of our ability to collate it), we got "God done it in 6 days then rested". It is precisely for this reason that the Big Bang theory is described as "the prevailing cosmological model for the observable universe", and not "this is exactly how the universe came about". The fact that it is "prevailing" is no reason to claim that's what happened, and the best scientists will always qualify with "as best as we know". None of the models exactly explain how any of it began, just what happened after it had begun, and that really is saying quite a lot about what is not known.

These don't sound like "court rulings" to me, at least no rulings of Nigerian courts, and not even to Buhari! Or was he the one who arrested Kanu, the only seemingly "court ruling"?

Surely you can do better than provide hearsay!

Joshmodest:
1. Buhari was told to free Sambo dasuki by the ECOWAS court on bail , with an ultimatum and he refused !!

2. Walter onnoghen was unlawfully and unconstitutionality removed from the position of CJN .

3. The efcc chairman magu , was appointed as acting chairman for a period of time ,that was unlawful for somebody to still be acting , and even when the Senate demanded his removal , the president ignored and left him as the chairman !

4. Buhari on several occasions before he finally agreed was told to release Nnamdi kanu , by Amnesty international and a whole lot of foreign and local organizations !!!

5. Amnesty international and other foreign bodies , described the continuos detention of el Zak -Zaky as a violation of his human rights , and called for his release , but it fell on deaf ears !!

6. Buhari unconstitutionality declared Biafra , a group agitating for separation of Nigeria , a terrorist group without enough reasons !!

Do you want me to say more !!!

wirinet:
You are very wrong about equating big bang theory to creation. Creation has zero evidence, just dogma forcefully pushed down ones throat, or should I say head.
Big bang on the other hand has 2 key evidences , namely - the red shift of light from distant galaxies, showing galaxies are moving away from each other and the cosmic microwave background that is constant throughout the universe.
If you have a better explanation for these phenomena, I am all ears.

So, "moving away", you hear a big bang? Sorry, all myths to me as I'm not the believing sort.

In a world where we struggle to know what happened 100 years ago, 200 years ago, 10,000 years ago, and even yesterday in Nigeria, anything said about a billion years ago can only be mythology, at least, to me.

As for a better explanation, my ignorance should do.

And I'm saying that despite being completely hooked on Brian Cox's new book and tv program called The Planets. I just love the way he makes one realise it's speculation, albeit, based on the best understanding of the very tiny evidence as understood.

If I was dead I'm absolutely certain I wouldn't be here. I've been close though.

I once went swimming at Bar Beach and drank the ocean dry. When I was pulled out I said "what you all looking at?" And everyone laughed. I was embarrassed at everyone staring at my pata majidun, those multicoloured ones the mallahs used to wear when collecting sand at Majidun in those days.

I also once downed 30, 10mg Valium tablets and passed out and had my stomach pumped at Ikeja General. I swear, I was only trying to sleep.

Close, but still alive!

etrange:
Fact.

If only all Christians shared this view!

Soon come. We are preaching it.

We want to see Jesus lifted high

Christianity of the past solved the problems of the past but is very ineffective at solving the problems of today. That's why understandings of religion evolves just as the issues they solve have evolved as clearly taught by Jesus' "ideology of love" evolving from Yahweh's wrath.

Our current Christianity is a "Christianity of 'belief", as dictated by the Word, but we are slowly evolving to a "Christianity of Understanding and Knowing" according to the Comforter, which arrives like a thief in the night.

Come Lord! Come Now!

The numbers for smartphone sales are out for Q1 of 2019, and they show that everyone is struggling. Well, everyone but Huawei. According to IDC, phone sales declined for the sixth straight quarter with shipments totaling 310.8 million units marking a 6.6% drop year over year.

While the majority of phone makers saw a decrease in sales during the first quarter, Huawei saw an increase in shipments by 50%, moving a total of 59.1 million units and securing 19% of the overall market. Huawei's diverse portfolio of phones helped it here, as its low-end and midtier offerings sold the most volume. Despite the impressive numbers, that still puts Huawei in second place behind market leader Samsung.

MaziOmenuko:
The courts having granted PDP access to the ballot papers, is yet to allow for forensic analysis. I wonder why? The powers that be are really out to frustrate Atiku. Peter Obi is very familiar with this forensic analysis terrain as it was the basis by which he won his mandate against Ngige in court.

When the courts finally grant this, we will have a lot of evidence as what transpired. This case will really deepen our democracy like I always say.

The Senate should probe INEC regardless whatever the tribunal decides. This sort of incompetence should not be allowed!

SmellingAnus:
The more reason you should apologize to him ... It could have been anything urgent...

Apologise wetin?

Op, did you buy your clothes with his money? If so, beg him well well. Otherwise tell him to fuq off and not touch your clothes again!

Yeye lazy people will be giving stupid advise as if if you don't bring extra oil for your lamp they have a right to that of those who did!

welbech:
Our universities deal with theories alone. No practicals! How can we move forward?

Show's how inadequate they are!

Hear some likely university graduates blaming Buhari as if na Buhari be their lecturer or load bearer. Our universities must not be teaching them to carry their own load themselves!

ckmayoca:
Our Doctors and professors make una come see u a life oh. ordinary Buhari who can't even pronounce university encouraging and giving advice to you people.

Yours is the first post making any sense so,
2 like for you !

Unless one wants to ignorantly assume the people of Lovisa Kope are stupid, she must have done something right for them to appoint her king over them and change the name of their village to her name, and I'm certain if natives did half of what she did they too might be honoured!

Can someone please post what she does for this community so we can see if she's truly worth the honour.

Evidence please.

You know our people. If you don't provide evidence for your claims we will just call you a liar!

Joshmodest:
Buhari the president of Nigeria located in West Africa , would never hand over to Atiku no matter the outcome of the tribunals !!!
Even Atiku is very well aware of this , buhari during his first four years flouted court rulings almost as frequently as he travelled to London !!
Buhari has never accepted any court ruling that is not in his favor, he has his people at the hem of affairs everywhere !!! that's why he is so confident to say he will win in the tribunals the way he said with confidence, that he will win the election !!
Buhari is running Nigeria like a bakery , and the question I keep asking myself , is how some people still find it so easy to call him " Mr President "

I just must say that this message is jnr's message, though that does not mean it's an invalid message, just that it's a message from jnr and not a message from God!

The earth alone is so very old that no one really knows how it was created and become what it is today, so I really don't have a belief either way, though literal creationism in 6 days defies logic and is absurd! I have heard a thousand other creation myths (Obatala done it with maize and a cock, it sprung out of Visnu's navel, Rangi and Papa done it, it emerged out of Sipapu, Bang!), so which of all the creation stories would one claim is true?

So, here's my myth, wrapped around the biblical creation myth only because it dominates amongst my people, but bear in mind that when the Bible says God done it in six days, I read billions of years for each second, and I don't mean a traditional God, and neither would I say I believe it.

Billions of years ago, God said, "let there be" and Bang! there was! And everything evolved from there.

There's just way too much to evolution for me to ignore I suppose. But only ignorance would make me claim my myth is the only true myth, though some defy the observed evidence and are just absurd.

pansophist:
How are women far more superior than men? Curious

Men have half brains in their heads for starts, and a new life doesn't exactly grow in men like they do in a woman. The man can't produce food from it's own body once that life comes out of the woman like the woman can. And men go drink in a bar while the woman worries about feeding that life. We mostly go running to superior mummy because she appears to have lots more time for us than daddy does. And there's a sperm bank to replace the man but you can't replace a woman, yet.

Need I go on?

Men! We will farm you like we farm pigs someday, I'm telling you all! Thankfully, we'd only need a few of you so you all better buck up or be culled! We will call it reducing population in the end, you poor men!

johnydon22:
No. Because it attempts to answer a question which humanity sort answers for.

I remember one Copernicus who in his days was afraid to publish his Heliocentric hypothesis because of the censorship built around the feverish dogma of the geocentric authorities of his days.

I also remember one Monseigneur Georges Lamitre, who was ignored and mostly not taken serious when he first propounded his theory of the primordial or cosmic atom because they thought it sounded too religious.

My stance simply is, no attempt to answer a question should be censored, it only should be left to the merits of it's argument to either convince you or otherwise.

When you start to hush and censor contradicting ideas in the name of science, something has gone horribly wrong.

Well, no one is censoring. As I said, we've learnt a lot since Copernicus when there was only one 'journal'. There's quite a lot published out there one way or the other and a lot of competing journals today, and those who do research know to fight their case just as those who would censor know one can always go elsewhere. No one would publish a bad attempt to answer a question though as there's only so many journal pages and so few of us would bother to read or peer review a bad attempt which wouldn't be the case if it were any good and especially if it did "answer a question which humanity sort answers for". We humans are just way too curious and greedy for the case to be otherwise. And don't forget that there's also the choice of publishing one's "answer to a question which humanity sort answers for" in a book by oneself and selling it to great personal reward. If it's any good it's bound to sell well and cause waves, and if it's not, it's as damp as squid. An appropriate case of the fittest surviving, I guess. But no one says it must be easy or I might just go work some on my ludicrous two shoulders four head not exactly theory.

EmperorHarry:
I doubt that science would dismiss your claim without objectively verifying it's credence.The larmack's theory of evolution is still been researched till today even though it has been called a crappy theory since Darwinism became mainstream. There are creation scientists who research and test evidences that support creationism.They are scientists and also use the scientific method and if they come up with irrefutable evidence in support of creationism it becomes a valid theory once tested and verified by different scientists to cancel out subjective biases and errors.

Larmack's theory of evolution is not quite as "crappy" as you claim. It's survived in one form or another for over 2000 years so something must be seen in it. buda's two shoulder four heads on the other hand, is less than a day old having been formulated today, and honestly speaking, you are the only one willing to consider it, and I doubt you are seriously considering it at that since unlike vaxx who at least did ask for some evidence, you haven't asked for any.

I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of today you too don't label me and my two shoulders and four heads, delusional perhaps, or just outright claim buda is gone bonkers in all four heads. I'd like to be wrong though. Between us, we just might be able to make something of my ludicrous not even theory of two shoulders and four heads.

Can we call it Emperor's Theory please?
