Paraman:
When did Dangote reduce price wey you expect every petrol stations to reduce price immediately? A lot of you guys on nairaland are salary earners.

I do not expect anyone to reduce the price of what they sell. If you can't buy, park your car and walk!

For your information, last time I earned a salary was like over 20 years ago.

And don't you ever again refer to buda as "you guys" please.

Thank you in advance.

That seems to be the price Tinubu set.

You have any study that shows HCL doesn't heal COVID?

You are the one asserting HCL heals Covid.

You must provide evidence instead of trying to waste my time by sending me on some stupid wild goose chase as if I am your slave or something.

IbeOkehie:
1) The rote denial of the existence of subsidies isn't a unique Nigerian schtick...

Yawn. Or do you want to tell me how US that refuses to subsidise the healthcare of its own citizens but instead subsidises the rich, is the denial of subsidy?

Stop complaining when I am personal please. Politics is personal, unless you are legislating to personally swindle the public that is not personal to you.

basilico:
He believes HCL healed him when he got infected with COVID.

He believes? Are you sure you are an engineer? I'm asking because you don't even sound like you did sciences.

Don't you think he should do proper research and collect verifiable evidence so he can prove to himself so he knows, and then present it to others so they can repeat his experiments and know too?

JagabanBorgu:
I practically deleted it to avoid deflection.

You deleted it then asked me to go read it when I asked you for it?

JagabanBorgu:
Nigerians are not paid in dollars because according to you, there's difficulty in spending naira outside Nigeria, but we should make it so easy to spend foreign currencies in our own society right?

Economics make it easy to spend foreign currency in our own country (though that is still under dispute since you have yet shown me any company in Nigeria that demands you pay it in dollars). If I pay you in dollars in Nigeria though, I'm certain you would not tell me to go to hell and pay you in Naira instead.

JagabanBorgu:
You can continue to cry about the policy, ur lamentations won't change it if implementation is going ahead.

Dude please pay very close attention. The policy does not affect me one tiny bit, since Nigeria is not passing a law anytime soon barring me from bringing dollars to Nigeria and spending it wherever I want, and if I need to convert it to dollars aboki will gladly oblige.

Nigeria needs the foreign currency, so this policy is stupid and unenforceable.

IbeOkehie:
Most people have no idea at all that the USA massively subsidizes healthcare in other countries.

The USA is not massively subsidizing healthcare in other countries!

Your own politicians, who likely have shares in those companies and who also receive lobby money from them are the ones ripping you off of your tax money and not giving you the healthcare you deserve!

JagabanBorgu:
I actually typed a long reply citing examples with explanations but that will be huge deflection from the point I'm trying to make.

Did it disappear but you expect me to read it still? Post a link if its still there!

JagabanBorgu:
This simple question will make my point.

Now, are Nigerian expats in other countries paid in Naira?[/quote]Your question is pointless.

Would any Nigerian expat want to be paid in Naira considering the difficulty you'd have paying your bills in Naira where you are in and where the difficulty of converting it, if possible, would be at the reduced official rate so you lose money?

I use a pressure cooker. Once its boiled for 5 minutes, switch off the gas and let the pressure do the rest.

I use activated carbon filtration system and 4 membranes reverse osmosis machine to process the drinking water. You can try it, and no pathogen will survive it. It happens to be the best technology only second to distillation. And you can even design a turnkey distillery with copper pipe to ensure they do not get sick at all.

London water is clean having been recycled, but lacks the vital life force which is essential to connect to ethereal field. But stimulating with neurotransmitters available in weed and other stimulants can create the bridge between brain waves and the field so you are good. None smokers can easily get disconnected and zombified. That is why most people smoke cigarette or weed to stay grounded.

In London the recycled water is clean for drinking, no pathogens, but Life force component has gone.

Life force component is gone in London water, lol. Can't say I agree though.

Schistosomiasis is not by drinking but by skin contact. The best thing about my farm is swimming after a hard days job. We don't drink Owala, as my wells are far better, but we can't swim in my wells despite them being only about a metre deep. They just aren't wide enough.

Sadly, my own health scare has put me off. I almost died and have not fully recovered so many years later.

Ref: My Toe.

IbeOkehie:
It looks like the USA is subsidizing the entire Danish economy 😳 Something stinks in Denmark for sure.

If you were honest with your self, you'd say something stinks in USA for its citizens to be "subsidizing the entire Danish economy" instead of subsidising its own citizens healthcare.

I doubt its me you'd say something is wrong with if your money was feeding me while you starved, but correct me if I'm wrong please.

Oh. And its stock dropped because its fat drug it would have sold to you in US is a dud.

TheBillyonaire:
The place looks great, you could use sand bed filtration and other systems to grow crops and recycle the water for RAS farming.

I just hope not London though, the water there is over-recycled with no life-force and one has to drink expensive distilled water to not have a brain fog so weed is very essential to ground self for better neurotransmission. Without stimulants and transmitters, one might just become zombified.

With that much water by my farm, recycle why, when the water just streams out of the land on my farm. Schistosomiasis doesn't affect crops. My main concern is my worker's health to be honest. While I can fly myself to doctors in UK, I can't fly them.

There's nothing wrong with London water. If London water were bad we'd have an epidemic. Bottle water sellers say its bad so you buy bottled. I did use distilled in my grow though, to control added minerals. Main concern is electricity. Its made growing uneconomical so I stopped since I don't consume anymore neither.

vivaciousvivi:
I may be wrong but his proposal was not keenly accepted especially across the Southern parts due to what most considered as policy flaws- the feelers were he was making it mandatory for States to carve out land for this, the arms bearing and safety issue was not properly addressed. Also, his government was viewed as sentimentally aligned to the north and the south didn't see how it woukd truly favour them. Plus the spate of killings by BH and herdsmen (attacking farmers in the SW) was just still too fresh for a lot of southerners to align themselves with it. It was just the right idea, wrong approach and wrong timing I guess.

His policy was not accepted because people were ignorant tribal bigots! Unfortunately many thought he was giving their land to fulani when in fact, ranch would have killed off fulani herdsmen because you need learning they don't have to ranch.

I have experienced similar stuff, but when I moved the plants to a different location in the open land, they did great and brought out fruits amazingly. So I had to research what happened.

I intend to plant weed too, but outdoors as it wont have full spectrum of stimulants and catalyst if not exposed to full spectrum of sunlight.

So, mine have to be outdoors, there are people I need to buy out from neighbouring plots and break down the buildings before I do that, cos they are quite talkative.

Due to my realization that these organic fruits have solve my blood pressure issue, I wanna build my retirement home on the acreage and live in the homestead. Mine is within the capital but I was lucky to see a flood terrain with lake and stream so every rainy season, the flood will always bring in organic manure for the crops. You can find such location and you are guarantee organic farming without chemical fertilizers and set up irrigation system for all year farming. It is amazing life cjhanging experience to have your own tree crops and animals and eating organic crops. This morning I had ripe plantain and ripe banana and i just peeled the yellowish skin and eat them raw. This is heavenly feeling.

There is no greater peace of mind that building a homestead that can last multigenerational for kids and grand kids with enormous spaces for out door sporting events. That is the life that most billionaires crave for, and few like IBB, Ned, OBJ and Shagari and GEJ have it. You can have a complete amazing lifestyle and be wealthy. Having money does not mean you must disconnect from nature.

My farmland in the Orolu Kingdom is by the River Owala, which flows into the Osun River. Beautiful fertile land. Unfortunately, my people piss and poo in it and its now infested with schistosomiasis, which made me ill so I fled back home to be healed so I don't die. I so miss it.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ds8Q4Wz2d/

Can't grow weed outdoors in UK I'm afraid, so quality instead of quantity. A single plant can produce up to 10 grams. A gram is £15. 4 plants in my cupboard is 4 times a year ... my mouth is big!

This is a woke liberal lie!

Everyone knows all those 70something or so million who voted for dump will dump their petrol guzzlers and buy environmentally friendly Teslas, and dump will impose tariffs on those woke Europeans and Chinese so they learn what's good for them and bow and kiss the Tesla ring too.

Tesla’s sales in Europe have plunged by 40pc as the electric carmaker battles a backlash from buyers against Elon Musk’s support for Donald Trump.

TenQ:
A person who claims to love but watch his neighbour enter into destruction is the worst human in existence.

You are, by the way, no different from isis boko haram jihadists.

They too force their warped ideology on others in the name of saving them.

basilico:
Jussie Smollett is as free as a bird.

Really? After all the supposed shenanigans of DA Kim Foxx?

Basilico, you must go and fire the judge that freed Jussie, and fire the DA that failed to have Jussie convicted, and even his lawyer that got his conviction overturned and the jury that let him go free as a bird, and you should start a new case against Jussie where you are the judge and the DA and Jussies's lawyer, and make sure you are the only juror too so you can find Jussie guilty so you can throw his Jussie ass in jail.

Also consider being the judge and the DA and the jury and Chauvin's lawyer too so you can free Chauvin too please.

TenQ:
Buda, in the name of Love I will do as much as tie you up to prevent you from eating Poison from your enemy!
FYI: those who think I should be passive to your case are in union with this enemy!

Thankfully, buda is not subject to you nor need your protection from your imaginary boogey god, and will have you arrested for kidnapping buda.

And to be honest, I do fear for the children you might go on to have, for I can just about see you doing this in your god's name.

basilico:
Kim. Foxx is the DA who gave Jussie a sweetheart deal. She is friends to him number one.

And since she was removed and Jussie has been tried, do tell me what his sentence is please.

Or do you not see any similarities between his case and that of Chauvin who you seem to be championing?

TenQ:
At death Buda shall truely KNOW that he had believed using the "wrongest" set of criteria!

I'm very certain you say this only because you have died and met you imaginary maker and come back to tell buda about it.

If you knew your god existed your entire heart would be full of love for your Nairaland neighbours instead of the hatred you have shown in this thread to those who believe in a different book to your own.

TheBillyonaire:
Unfortunately, nothing is organically wrong with the papaya plants, if you planted them far away from concrete wall, they'd be thriving now, but the concrete secretions destroys phosphorus presence on the soil so next time do not plant them near the wall.

If you have a means of uprooting them and replanting elsewhere, you will do nothing extra and the plants will recover.

I wonder how true this is. Pawpaw was my biscuit when young. I planted them near the concrete walls around the compound so I can climb the wall and pluck the tall ones due to my allergic preference of not eating pawpaw that had touched the ground. They never had this problem.

However, considering the industrialism, or should I say, farmarisim, that you've shown in the below, I would urge the op to consider your suggestion.

TheBillyonaire:
Quite a number of fruit trees and herbs in the gardens such as Oranges, pawpaw, lemon, lime, turmeric, garlic, pepper, plantain, banana, oil palms, moringa, scent leaves, mints, pumpkins, water leafs, okra, also nurseries for date palms, pine apple, mango and, lest I forget we've got some pigs and chickens and we have bitter leaves plants and so many vegetables. Today we got some plantain bunches and banana and yellow corn harvested and we enjoyed some this evening.

Makes me feel I should pay you. Some people will concrete their entire compound and start crying about hunger.

The fence around my compound was made of bitter leaf. I had to invite the neighbours to come and cut from those I planted inside the compound so they don't eat all my fence.

When I go to my farm in my hometown, my people laugh at me for planting pawpaw. The tell me one does not plant pawpaw, and that pawpaw lalẹwus (sprouts out of the ground by itself). They only stopped when they started eating the pawpaws and the ewedu and other vegetables I planted by sprinkling their seeds everywhere after paying them to deweed.

You sir, make me miss home. Now I'm left planting weed in a cupboard in my house and paying electric to simulate sun while worrying police might knock on my door.

How dare she bother you with her love for her darling dead husband? How so inconsiderate of her!

If she bothers you that much, kill her please. And do it in such a way that you gain maximum satisfaction from murdering her.

And please make sure you do everything to make sure your own future wife does not love you so much for so long. You can consider killing yourself after like 10 years, or better still 6 months.

Kim Foxx, the Soros sponsored DA let go of Jussie Smollett hoax provocation and when the case was revived she termed him a victim of mob justice .

TenQ:
This 13.8 billion years was actually based on calculations sir!
All humans live by sets of belief systems.

The 13.7 billion years is speculative. Those who came up with it admit as much, so it is rather ignorant for one to believe what those who propose it don't believe. But then, that is not unusual for many.

A bridge is built based on calculations, and you believe the bridge will stand based on those calculations. The calculations themselves are not "sets of beliefs", but empirically tested mathematical evidence based on bridges that have been built and that still stand. You never know if the bridge will stand until you've actually built and tested it.

Humans who live by beliefs are ignorant. They cry to heaven for their daily bread instead of feeding themselves by the sweat off their brow. If you go outside their houses you will see the gutters in which they breed the mosquitoes that suck their blood and kill them. If you check their life expectancy, you'd find it is much lower than that of nations who choose to live by knowledge. And such believers tend to end up as naked slaves like Adam, making food for the gods.

The British who brought us the Bible did not believe they were created from mud anymore after years of being enslaved to Rome their masters by ignorant beliefs. By the time they got on their boats and arrived at your shores they were singing what evolved into Rule Britannia, because some 200 or so years prior they'd got to understand (or chose to believe) that they were no more slaves to Rome, afraid of nourishing themselves with knowledge because it would kill them, but chose to change their beliefs to being created in God's image and could eat as much fruits of knowledge as their hearts desire and it would not kill them. That's what then enabled them to set forth from their tiny island to "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it and rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground", such that, at one time the sun never set on the British empire. Basically, they stopped believing, and instead asked questions and knocked and sought answers with their own hearts and souls and minds so that they may know, instead of letting Rome feed them crappy beliefs that only profited Rome.

And that is what you would one day do, I hope. Instead of asking me to provide you with evidence, which is you just asking me to preach and spoonfeed you, you will do your own research so that you actually know. And then, greater things will you indeed do than you currently are doing.

TenQ:
Only normal humans have beliefs not based just on their feelings.

But you have clearly shown that even though you claim not to have beliefs, you make plans for short term and long term periods. Meaning that you probably don't understand what it means to have beliefs!

Note your inconsistencies:
You claim not to have beliefs yet
1. You speak of humans evolving from previous humanoids,.. borrowing from you, is evolution not a speculative biology ?
2. You claim that universe likely evolved from a previous state....is this another speculative conclusion?
What are your evidences for these two statements above or I put it to you that your beliefs have no iota of foundational basis!

You equate beliefs to be the same as factual evidence based knowledge. Things that I believe are things I am not certain or sure of or have not checked and indeed "have no iota of foundational basis" for. One does not "likely" "claim". The fact I said "likely", which was intentional, shows it is indeed speculative. You must please call me very ignorant if I make a "claim" about what might have happened 13.7 billion years ago.

I may for instance, believe I have a billion pounds in my bank account, but as soon as I check my bank balance I would have immense foundational basis of evidence and would need to stop believing and instead know whether I have a billion pounds in my bank account or not. Hopefully, you can see how ignorant I would need to be to be arguing how much is in my bank account without actually checking in order to have foundational basis of evidence.

If I claim to "believe" in the existence of God, I would be saying I am not certain there is God. Its one reason I get to laugh at believers. If I were them, I would know my God exists and live accordingly. And I would expect to be burnt on the spot if I dare not love my neighbour.

Evolution is not speculative biology! There is sufficient evidence out there to show that humans evolved, and you asking for evidence is just lazy of you, since you can very easily educate yourself with Google. In fact, if you read your Bible starting from the beginning and go page by page to the very end you'd even see brimstone and fire God evolving into gentle and meek Jesus Christ, but I do understand that believers find that as hard to comprehend as threading a camel through the eye of a needle. Its the same difficult you are experiencing in evolving your understanding of your own subject in this thread. I mean, do you really believe anyone believes they are going to hell for anything? How about for not loving one's neighbour? Would your god give you a waiver for hating your Muslim neighbours?

The fact is, even you admit that something big must have made something go bang. You call it God, while I say you are filling a gap of ignorance.

mrvitalis:
So who is killing people in other zones? IPOB too?

So those people killing people in other zones are not present in South East? Or they become IPOB when they enter South East?

In my own zone of Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun, we are killing our neighbours in Ilobu and we are killing ourselves too. And by that I mean Ifon people are killing Ifon people, and are even suicidally killing themselves. Unemployment has made fashion of drugs amongst the lazy.

If an Ilobuan kills us we will kill their mama and kill their papa and kill their pikins and kill their chicken and kill their goat and kill the yams and cocoa in their farms too, and they too will retaliate equally if we kill an Ilobuan.

There are Fulanis with cattle in Ilobu and Ifon and Erin, and we have Hausa communities from when they came during the kolanut boom and now use our huge warehouses for bagging grain from the north. We also have thriving Igbo communities, and no one is killing them because they are not killing anyone. One good Tochukwu is called Tomato because he is teaching my people to grow tomatoes.

Basically, the kokoro that is eating our ẹfọ is on our own ẹfọ.

JagabanBorgu:
I mentioned these stuffs in my replies earlier and you are here asking me for it again.
So u have no idea about these stuffs?
So many sh!.t go on in this country that many people are not aware of.

You mentioned IITA, The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture. If it hires expats it will indeed pay in dollars, but it will not likely pay Nigerians in dollars! You might as well have mentioned Shell too, and Chevron, and the International School in Ibadan, or the foreign coach of the Nigerian Eagles, all of who would be paid in foreign currency.

As for demanding payment in foreign currency in Nigeria, you never said who does that. And if you were to think just a little, you'd know that a company that demands payment in a foreign currency in Nigeria is trying to limit its own sales, because it sure would be limiting
those who can buy what it sells.

As for your "So many sh!.t go on in this country that many people are not aware of", that's what people say when they are talking through their ass. If it were happening as you claim, you'd provide more than IITA that can be logically explained.

TenQ:
The point I am making is this:
You made your point that you don't believe the 13.8billion year age of the universe as "speculated" by scientists
Thus I ask
1. What is your belief about the age of the universe?

Typical believer question, thinking everyone must believe something like they do.

I do not have beliefs about the age of the universe! It was so long ago that having beliefs about it that even those who propose an age call speculative is just ignorant.

Its like believing the first human being was Adam even though the Bible that makes that claim states clearly that before Adam was the creation of both male and female in God's image, and the evidence shows humans evolved from previous humanoids, just as the universe likely evolved from a previous state.
