Most Nigerians in diaspora are more interested in getting the passport of their host country than that of Nigeria.

The government should make the process easier for Nigerians living in Nigeria cos they need it more than anything to kick start their Japa plans. Nigerians over there are perfectly fine.

Nigerians abroad need it so they don't have to get expensive visa that cost more than a passport every time they visit home.

I'm pleased to see Nigerians awake.

Almajiris of today = kidnappers+bandits +terrorists tomorrow.
Simple.

Boys too.

No I actually don't, because I have no way of knowing the true nature of what I experience as reality or whether it physically exists at all!

Why do you have no way of knowing the true nature of what you experience?

Are you incapable of interpreting the data you collect from your own experiences?

Why can you not know whether your experience is reality or whether it physically exists (and you actually experienced it)?

Do your senses not work?

Jakasibo:
His death as assumed came as a result of the conflict he had with some fulani men who feeds their cows 🐄 on Michael's crops. Michael employed about 6 Northerners that works in his farm he gave them home in Onicha-Ugbo feed them and also pay them. Michael was attacked and chased out from his farm by the Fulani men in the evening on the 7th of March, he returned with his workers as usual the next day 8/03/2024 and had a mysterious gùnshot. While interrogating with his workers yesterday to know what led to his deațh they said Michael went to the farm with his long barrel gùn and mistakenly shot himself.

It is evil to lie and blame others for what they have not done.

PoliteActivist:
I don't have to know you. I know you think there is no supernatural and I know earthly folks don't know ANYTHING

Are you an earthly folk?

Do you not know ANYTHING?

PoliteActivist:
Shorten what? We are talking "Buddha" not "Shokolokobangoshe"!

You are the one talking Buddha. I am talking about buda, as in short for budaatum.

PoliteActivist:
Your senses? Do you know you can only see 0.003% of light spectrum?
Maybe things were changed by "someone"- either the dark matter or the scientists

That is no a reason to now invent things in my subjective head and then claim they objectively really exist.

But if you are that sort, help me with my Ferrari desires please.

PoliteActivist:
You don't know ANYTHING. That's just a fact. You don't even know the true nature of your existence or of reality.
You are simply NOT qualified to have opinion about supernatural

You definitely don't know the true nature of my existence. You don't even know what I look like or whether I can spell my name or not, so I doubt you'd qualify to appraise my opinion about anything at all.

PoliteActivist:
What's this your obsession with Buddha? And how come you can't spell the name?

I don't have an obsession with Buddha and I can spell my name, though I do often shorten it.

One of eleven current games.

I sometimes wondered why we never see UFOs and AAROs in Nigeria, then I realised we are at the angel and demon stage of human understanding and will one day investigate with our own senses and minds so we may actually know instead of merely believe.

For the umpteenth time, nairaland is one place I store my bookmarks.
I don't care if you read them.
If you noticed, I addressed Ono because I know he reads thefederalist.

You addressed me whom you quoted before you edited your post, and I'm informing you that the bookmarks you store are maga kraken mules 2000 that I don't bother reading because I don't want to be like you.

basilico:
I gather you are suggesting family is not important in national development. The beauty of the western values is that they have evolved.
Tell me about your favourite Muslims who strive to emulate the exact things their prophet did.

Why would you assume I would suggest "family is not important in national development" and in personal development too, when I constantly advise you here to educate your family?

And who told you I have favourite Muslims or Christians or any favourites from any religion or race or gender or tribe or nation or whatever for that matter?

Fact is, a nation that wants to progress and improve the lives of its citizens must evolve from its old time religion and archaic ideology and customs and philosophies or die or at least make its citizens suffer. Nigeria did this by abandoning our old archaic religions that could not even save us from malaria and slavery and adopting new more powerful religions, and America, being further ahead in the evolution of civilisations, is now deciding whether to abandon archaic elements of its own religion just as Saudi too is doing though too slowly for my liking and as some people in Iran are demanding.

In a democracy, free thinking individuals decide for themselves who shall rule them instead of having to be ruled by those some anoint as their own god's supposed prophet.

basilico:
Meanwhile read my next post about why Fani case can be challenged as the fruits of a poisonous tree

I don't read your senseless rants.

If Eve had not nourished herself with fruits of knowledge, her eyes would have remained unopened, and she and Adam would have remained naked and enslaved in the Garden of Eden, and her descendants, if she had any, would have been slaves too.

Science, as in what we learn by using our senses, constantly evolves.

This is what I like about American democracy. It lets the people decide who sues whom.

While we boringly wait, I often think of starting Formula One on the untared tracks round the farms in my hometown. Every car must have four wheels and run on Bajaj Boxer Motorcycle engines.

basilico:
One big factor that built America is Judeo Xtian values. Those values such as family are under assault every day.

Which included many years of going to church after flogging and raping the enslaved neighbours and not letting women vote a decision, and because they live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, they learn and evolve and change their ways instead of being enslaved to old time religions.

That, basilico, is why it is said, God Bless America.

Go and start your own company.
Nairaland is still going strong in an era where tech companies are dying.
I am not in the business of telling successful people how to run their business.

Perhaps you should get into the business of not telling me what I should say or do since you don't know if I'm successful or not.

FBS:
"The media" will do anything and everything to get people talking but sadly not about the F1 itself.....seems people generally just love the dirt and drama.

It's a formula that they have used in other sports.

It's all F1. Has been since from after the second world war lol.

And on that note, Verstappen on Pole!

Sorry all. Didn't read thread but might one day.

PoliteActivist:
When you fully absorb ......

Love the Polite. Evidence has supported it.

Thou should not make up imaginary subjective things about buda, considering you can not possibly know what or how much buda may have absorbed and or processed with buda's own mind that and because it is subject to buda. Objectively speaking that is.

Aliens are a tough sell among scientists these days even if they are a hot topic in congressional hearings and popular culture.

On Friday, the Department of Defense released a lengthy report declaring there is no evidence that aliens have visited Earth, dismissing the venerable conjecture that the government has secretly recovered alien hardware.

I think the greatest flaw of the human mind (and a flaw we are NOT aware of) is that we each assume everybody experiences reality same way we do.

My human mind does not have the flaw of assuming everybody experiences reality the same way I do because that would imply that everybody has trained and cultivated the senses with which they experience reality the same way I have mine, and I have not found that to be so.

I in fact do not even assume everybody perceives the reality that is acting on them without them experiencing it.

PoliteActivist:
When infact, you can say we all live in different worlds though we are physically in same world. Life is almost entirely subjective.

We all do live on this same earth in this same world, but just the fact we may live in different places means our lifes are subjective to us, but claiming what subjective I perceive or claim to be true, is objective, is a bit of a wuruwuru jump to me.

My life might be subjective to subjective me, but my subjective opinion is not the objective world.

PoliteActivist:
There are people who KNOW 200% that God exists - because they talk with {"with"NOT "to"} him everyday!

Is one of them called TBJoshua?

I have no problem with anyone who claims to "KNOW 200% that God exists - because they talk with {"with"NOT "to"} him everyday", but i wouldn't do business with such people, and I wouldn't generally socialise with them or marry them, and they wouldn't ask me to I don't think.

PoliteActivist:
Then there are people who have absolutely no business with God whatsoever, infact they don't even believe there is a supernatural to begin with

I don't "believe there is a supernatural to begin with" because I know there isn't a supernatural to begin with and I love my God books.

NONSENSE
You talk nonsense everytime

Does your comment make sense to you?

It is rather obviously far too advanced for you.

Aemmyjah:
Usual response when you foolishly say something that leads you to a tight corner
Not surprised

Please go look up the meaning of sincere.

So from Your Analogy, God and His Children Are Disunited ?

What Makes The Muslims Satanic ?

Why Label Them As Children of Satan ?

It was precisely that attitude that got some locked out.
