millionboi2:

erico2k2:

So they charge him to court, and he proves they are lying!

But no, that's not how climbing tree Malaye rolls, I suppose!

millionboi2:
his voice was d most audible.



#Na lie ......dat one enter Buhari well

Dino was d one dat shoutd it, Buhari knows

Have you got pvc? Please sell it to me and let me tear it to pieces so that you would not be able to vote. Not even for my bubu, please.

With this sort of thinking we'd all be better off if you stay home on polling day.

This is a picture of Amina Zakari. Please tell me if this is the same person in that fake picture of your's!

bu bu bu 2019!

BUHARIwilDIE019:
See this olodo talking, why was He not prosecuted since, why after He (buhari) was booed and now election is near. For your information, Naija problem no even reach me at all.. don't frustrate yourself. This govt is only witch-hunting those that criticize it.. take it leave it

I'll leave you, thanks. Naija problem however is my problem so I can't leave it like you who don't care would!

BUHARIwilDIE019:
Oga shut up!
This happened last year July, they wrote it off, but after He was booed in the National Assembly and He Buhari swore to deal with those that booed him, this is the result.. there is no transparency and fairness in what they are doing. If they should concentrate this way on the insurgence problem in the country dont u think it will stop

He shot policeman and we wrote it off? Was he the only one booing? You and which brainless idiots wrote it off?

If anyone knows where I can buy brains, do let me know. I would like to purchase brain for some people!

On this one, I follow and laugh!

misano:
It is the system. We are guided by principles and policies made to develop the institution.

You talk as if the "system" fell down from heaven! You do know that it is oppressive to women who are usually the ones who have to resign?

Oshigun:
Buhari has been consistent politically. The man has always conducted himself in a dignified way. He once divorced a wife who accepted money from those who jailed him. That is not a man who will act like weaker men who always feel they have something to prove to other men.

Everyday I rejoice that there are many Nigerians who are not fooled by the wiles and trickery of PDP. My hope is that there's enough of us to keep the brainless looters out of Aso Rock.

Sai my bubu 2019!

jmaine:
The fact remains that the former POTUS did. Case closed.

After 3 years of ranting and raving by birthers!

In response to the conspiracy theories, the White House released copies of the President's long-form birth certificate on April 27, 2011, and posted an image of it to the White House website, reaffirming that he was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Now I understand why my bubu don't respond too! You wait 3 years. We might have time for you then.

raumdeuter:
This message should be broadcasted on all local Yoruba radio stations from Lagos to Kogi to Ekiti and translate it to Yoruba

So that the liberal Yorubas can understand what the Ibos have in mind for Yorubas

Please, there is no evidence that Kanu said any of this!

I think we should all just report you and get you banned!

jmaine:
Yes, what I said made absolute sense. The civilized society you mentioned like the USA had their former POTUS accused as an alien citizen and he provided his birth certificate to shut his doubters and distractors up for good.

If the POTUS of a highly advanced and civilized society like the USA can prove his doubters wrong, then who is Amina not to do same and save her name from been dragged in the mud.

Next please..

Excuse me, but no he did not! At least not until it was no more relevant whether he did or not. And it still made no difference to brain dead people who still insisted he was an alien long after he'd provided it! Personally, he should have just gone on laughing at those brain dead fools who said he was an alien!

misano:
Did you know that a married couple can't work in the same bank in Nigeria? If they get married, one most resign within about 30 days after the marriage or they both get fired. They don't care the position U hold, one or both must go down.

Na Naija bank I they talk about. Zenith Bank as my example.

And you approve of that nonsense?!

Lucid1:
Clearly you're PDP or an enemy of the state. If you hate a person or system, nothing can ever be good about it/ them in your sight.

I'm still struggling to grasp your points but it's okay, I'll Google her. Like I said before, PDP made allegations about her, nothing was proved. Let the courts decide Ekiti's fate. She's only being subjected to a smear campaign by the opposition.

Even if INEC appoints Atiku's wife in Zakari's place, you guys will still find a way to turn up the heat

Go away! Everyone knows Atiku's wife is married to Buhari!

maestroferdi:
Are you for real or you just dropped down here from an outer planet?

You were obviously blind in the series of electoral irregularities in which this same Amina Zakari was fingered...

Her show of shame in the Ekiti gubernatorial election is still fresh in the national psyche...She made no attempt to hide her partisanship and was openly and unabashedly calling the opposition's bluff.

You can be an APC supporter and still retain some scintilla of objectivity, cant you?

Don't mind us jare, you wey get "scintilla of objectivity".

Can you post evidence for this please. That should shut us up.

zlantanfan:
she was appointed in "2011" as a "National Electoral Commissioner " by gej and not as a representative of anything external as you put it.

BTW, Apc was formed in February 2013 two years after her already merited appointment into inec.

I don't even have the time to lecture you on what the position of national electoral commissioner entails as first appointment since you don't even know what you are spewing.

Please o, don't despair. You may think your response is to the quoted, but I am here too, reading, and you have educated me. Thank you.

Blackfire:
Don't worry we are digging up evidence....


Like the way they denied keystone arrangee , alas the truth came out, and the Almighty integrity buhari is just another scam artist

What truth? Show me please so I can stop with my sai bubuing all over the place!

Rextizzle:
Why is 2015 thread making front page in 2019,who does that

Because we were here in 2015 and its still relevant.

netpro:
She was appointed under PDP, so why all the wailing?

I think she was Jonathan's sister's brother at the time, and married to.......

MuttleyLaff:
Why to you budaatum, is God known as and called god instead of knowing and refering to Him as God, that He truly and really is??

Because the "Him as God" you speak of is not being spoken of by me when I speak of gods, nor is it "truly and really is", in my opinion. And from now on, I will in my writing refer to your god as Yahweh, its proper name, and not as 'God', which is your attempt to elevate your god above everyone else's god and which I shall henceforth resist! And if you don't like it, you may want to consider not reading what buda writes instead of telling buda what words to write, after all, you, muttley, are not buda's god so stop behaving as if you were and be muttley's god instead!

Ranchhoddas:
Were the miracles of Jesus real? Or were they made up stories?

I bet they were reported by the likes of you who didn't have a clue what happened and ignorantly described with embellishments what we now read as miracles, when in fact if he truly did do what he's claimed to have done, can easily be explained.

If you had reported what happened to me, you'd have described it as a miracle too just as quite a lot of religious people who went through it with me also do.

BraniacX:
nah dude! Bubu is more trumplike (except in tweeting) too many gaffes, always bulk passing and blaming someone else, always trying to portray themselves as awesome and pseudo messiahs come to save the day, I can go on and on but let me stop here, my opinions though

That's politics for you. Blame the other guy for the fuq ups and take credit for the good stuff. That's why we must be hypercritical. Though its not easy in the fake mews alternative fact world we live in. We do the best we can.

BraniacX:
I am not calling you names, (not yet anyways) but you called a candidate i support a thief and i am sure you do say that by popular opinion of the political party you espouse, you also went ahead to call me stupid for comparing buharism to trumpism (my reason is simple, both are personality cults hinged on the belief that the object of adoration can do no wrong)
If privatization is wrong, what would you rather have? We do operate a capitalist economy right? Right?
I can't tell you what to do with Your PVC but failure to mention atiku's acts of thievery makes you that uncomplementary word that rhymes with cupid! see? I done did it!

I did not call you stupid, BraniacX. I said "How supporting Atiku, a known crook who wishes to sell, or rather, own the golden goose is not stupid, defies reason in my book!" And it was in response to you claiming support for Buhari is a "peculiar kind of stupid". Neither do I believe Buhari can do no wrong.

Atiku is part of the party that ruled when a huge theft of what Nigeria owned occurred in the guise of privatisation. People claim Buhari is no better, but I disagree. When PDP ruled, it just so happened that it was a period when Nigeria enjoyed a boom with our main commodity selling for prices we have never before seen. But where did all that money go? I saw it being spent on the streets of my own home town with people receiving money from politicians just for yelling rankadede. I'd take people to my farm to work all day and pay them above the odds only for them to return home at the end of the day to find some jobless idiot has more in his pocket just for going around with politicians! When Buhari came in that stopped, and I'm glad it did. A nation can't progress when jobless people earn more than those who work.

Now, people would claim Buhari too is corrupt. Personally, I don't believe it, nor have I any reason to. To start with, Nigerians are not stupid. There's no way he can be stealing all by himself without sharing with others, which if he was would be seen by it being spent on the streets but it isn't. But even if he were stealing, he is not stealing as much as was stolen under Atiku and co. The fact that jobless people are starving is evidence that he most likely isn't.

Atiku was specifically responsible for privatisation, which I don't think has served us well. A lot of what was privatised is now moribund since the assets of the privatised companies were just stripped and abandoned. So why would I wish NNPC, the goose that lays the golden egg, privatised by him of all people? Do I need to have two brains to know that even if privatisation were a good thing, he is not the best to be in charge of it? Privatisation may be a good thing in the future. But UK, a forerunner of privatise, are currently ruing the fact they privatised with a lot of privatised institutions not doing so well. And I feel they were more transparent in how they went about it than we would be. Sorry, but I just don't feel now is the right time for it, and even if we were to go ahead with it, I'd rather Atiku not be involved.

Regardless, all the above is simply my opinion. In time, the facts would out, and if it turns out my bubu has been corrupt all along, do expect me to come on here and accept I was wrong and call for his head. I know and expect that you, for one, would not let me off without me eating humble pie. And that is at it should be. Please do not go easy on me. Where I stand is laid out in many threads to condemn me with if I turn out to be the stupid one. And since I sai bubu quite a lot you must not skimp on the size of the humble pie you shove down my deserving throat.

Now, regarding Trump. Personally, my gut tells me not to trust him. Take his wall. 30billion will not be enough to build a wall between Mexico and America so I don't think its a good idea for starts. The wall between East and West Germany is indicative of the silliness of such ideas. People go on about how well he's run the economy when the truth is that America is only just reaping the fruits of Obama's policies. And the way Trump is going, I expect that economic progress to stop. He goes on about climate change being false in an era when the evidence says otherwise. He's given tax cuts to the wealthy. He wants to scrap Obamacare that has favoured millions who beforehand had no care, and so on. We're already seeing the effect of his policies in companies like Apple, and farmers are moaning that there's no market for their soyabeans. The slump in sales blamed on tariffs by some will result in job losses in America and probably a recession, in my opinion.

But the facts, or rather, my facts, hardly matter, or at least they are countered by facts as seen by the other side. For I'm sure you have counter facts to whatever I have to say, which I'm certain you will claim are more valid than mine. And that's the beauty of democracy. On election day, we all go to vote, and the person who gets the most votes becomes President in Nigeria as well as in America. And calling each other stupid will have nothing whatsoever to do with it. And if either of us has a brain in our heads, we'd surely find out.

MuttleyLaff:
God is praised for being mysterious; rulers are praised for explaining mysteries.

And both are gods to those who know no better.

LoJ:
Masterpiece! Saved for posterity.

Believe me, the book referenced is a much better masterpiece and is very much worth the read. And the fact that gensteejay mentioned Hermeticism commands respect, though I very much doubt he read Mead's detailed study on the topic, considering his understanding of it.

When Christ said "Know ye not that ye are gods?" I would claim this book is close to giving an answer that is closer than many if properly understood. Unfortunately, its more likely to just be believed, as opposed to wringing out the lessons in it and what it implies.

HellVictorinho:
What do you think about the Existential Constant, whose possibility represents Existence.
Do you find it amazing?
Anyways, I don't.

I don't think I know what you mean by "Existential Constant". You might want to explain what it is much clearer.

However, everything described as first cause, including gods, big bang etc, is human explanations similar to what the Holy books say. No one really knows yet how the universe began. The latest is that a [url=https://edition-m.cnn.com/2019/01/02/world/ultima-thule-contact-binary-snowman/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&rm=1]snowman done it[/url]. But at least there's something to show for that conclusion, as ridiculous as it is. And any reason for its existence is mere speculation.

gensteejay:
How do you apply the scientific method when discussing God when science has made little progress on much simpler things, like consciousness, soul, death, ESP (extra sensory perception) or intuition, and a number of paranormal concepts. Science hasn't even fully explained/grasped circadian rhythms, like sleep.

Science still has a long way to go. With time, science will be able to shed more light on the First Cause or God and paranormal concepts.

Applying the current scientific methods to prove or disprove God's existence is a waste of time. The methods are simply too basic and incongruous. Only logic and philosophy can help.

That's your opinion, which you are very free to hold on to. Its however not true that "science has made little progress on much simpler things, like consciousness, soul, death, ESP (extra sensory perception) or intuition, and a number of paranormal concepts". In fact, science has made immense progress on those topics, even if that progress is still the scratching of the surface.

All the same, that's no reason to fill the gap in our knowledge with a fabricated concept called god, which can be studied in its own right. And to be honest, since you have studied atheism, as you claim, I can see why you are ambivalent towards atheism. I, for instance studied gods, for that's what I was looking to understand. You might see how our different approaches have led us to different conclusions.

gensteejay:
The highlighted part of your post above is very far from the truth. People that are actually familiar with philosophy (as a field) will be to place my views on God under a specific branch of philosophy, which is Hermetic philosophy.

Everything I have stated about God were derived from books I have read on philosophy and history, so they are not my inventions or theories.

And as I've stated before, having studied atheism and identified its flaws, I still maintain my stance on God. I don't see much sense in atheism and can't wrap my head around the existence of an object or system (e.g. the universe) without a designer or maker.

I hate when people talk as if no one else has access to information they have. One of the great exponents of Hermeticism is George Robert Stowe Mead (22 March 1863 – 28 September 1933. His book on the topic is called Trice Greatest Hermes in three volumes, in which he explores the origin of the main hermetic text, which is included, and its historic influence on Islam and Christian thought. I have a hard copy I paid £50 for before the days of the Internet, and found it so profound that for five years, I made sure it was my reading every January. The intention being that I wanted it to influence my thinking, which it very much does. It is from the Pymander, the first tractate in the Corpus Hermeticum, that my "sow maize, reap maize" reference came from! That though does not mean that I have to believe whatever is said in it. Understanding, after all, is not the same as believing! And in fact, since it is about developing the mind, I'd go as far as claiming believing shows one has missed the point of hermeticism.

The fact that one believes a book one has read does not make one's belief fact or actual reality. Belief is a choice. And things one believes are not necessarily things one knows. In fact, things one believes are believed specifically because one does not know but chooses to accept as valid without confirming evidence. When you believe you stop learning. When you know, you stop believing. Hermeticism 101, I'd call that!

Please, I advice anyone not familiar with this book to read it. It is worth the time. But it in no way proves the existence of gods. Unless you approach it with your eyes closed!

As to you not seeing anything in atheism, that is your choice. No one is asking you to abandon your gods. But when we come on here and state our views as if they are facts, and in threads like this one, we must expect our reasoning to be challenged, and with evidence, and not the pitting of beliefs we choose to hold on to. There are after all threads where people freely expound their beliefs unchallenged, but this is not the sort, you would find.

I would very much like to hear about the flaws you claim to have found in atheism. Perhaps you can challenge me too. But note that merely stating beliefs challenges no one, unless there's a Ferrari at stake.



Hermeticism, also called Hermetism, is a religious, philosophical, and esoteric tradition based primarily upon writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus ("thrice-greatest Hermes". These writings have greatly influenced the Western esoteric tradition and were considered to be of great importance during both the Renaissance and the Reformation. The tradition claims descent from a prisca theologia, a doctrine that affirms the existence of a single, true theology that is present in all religions and that was given by God to man in antiquity.
