We cannot continue to demand that the Igbo people remain in Nigeria, while we at the same time continue to brutally marginalize and exclude them from the power dynamic.To be honest, if a much less credible person had arisen from the Igbo people (Kanu for instance), I would not support the above. But the Igbos came up with Obi and has made many Obidients.

OkCornel:Here's an example. Though he does say I started it. https://www.nairaland.com/7351620/story-adam-eve-makes-sense/1#117026504 I think it's because their beliefs fall apart once they are confronted with things they now have to consider. Dissonance sets in and they resort to attacks in defence of their weakly held beliefs. |
I have a 55" Samsung Qled telly I bought in June. It replaced a 60" which I sent back because it was too big. And that replaced my 40" Philips which I accidently broke after 7 years of its faithfulness. What I find is Samsung do shoddy work. I have light coming through the top of the telly from the screen where the bezel isn't stuck down properly. Never a Samsung anything again! ![]() |
LordReed:Probably, lol. Mud upon mud upon mud. |
NNTR:May your lord be pleased and delighted with you.

NNTR:Me who is not "giving small whines and bleating, bah, bah, as if like a goat, and acting the burn victim" at you God doing its worse, would be "giving small whines and bleating, bah, bah, as if like a goat, and acting the burn victim" when you piss yourself. You funny, I give you that. |

brightest5050:Of course it is justified! No work no pay. brightest5050:Yes Government should pay ASUU if ASUU can make them, though they don't have the right to be paid, see above. brightest5050:That last bit is very misguided and needs correction. You went to primary and secondary school, I believe, and I bet your teachers there were not working to save any institution from collapse, but were working for their own salary to pay their own rent and eat some food and pay school fees for their own children, so why would you think an ASUU lecturer is some sort of saint who wants to save some institution from collapse, please? Did your ASUU lecturers build the institution so they now want to save public institution from collapse? And why is government not saving public institution from collapse by paying it's workers? Please do not delude yourself that ASUU lecturers give a flying fùq about saving public institution from collapse, because, like the baker and the brewer and the butcher, the only thing ASUU lecturers want to save is their own personal selfish interest!

oshonwambada:I sent you, so do blame me for your joblessness please. |
dattaswami1:Free-will and the knowledge required to exercise it, I hope your God honours. Because the God in Genesis 2 is understood to have deprived Adam and Eve of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and if they dare eat it they shall surely die. And I very much doubt that those who lack knowledge can know how to exercise their freewill if they have any will at all. |
NNTR:I'm glad you are not worried about me and would rather set fire to me and piss on me, though I'm certain your dik would shrivel up first. And now that you've stooped to wanting to trade insults rather than focus on the content of the thread, the peace of your lord be with you. |
Personally, I can not understand why people would be telling me to join them in slavery in some Garden of Eden and not eat the fruits of knowledge. Do they think everyone is afraid of a "level of death" that kills one at 130 but let's one gain wisdom and live another 800 years free from slavery so one populates the earth? Or are they so irresponsible that they want one to be irresponsible like they are and not get one's food from the sweat of one's own brow? I guess I somehow need to let people know that some do not wait for manna from heaven because they are prepared to make their own manna from their own sweat off their own brow. Not everyone enjoys being a slave, you all should know.
|
NNTR:You do keep worrying though, for some odd reason. Or how many times now have I told you to fi ara mi sile ki o ran ti ẹ? |
dattaswami1:Nor will any God worth listening to tell me to remain ignorant and not eat the fruits of knowledge. A God that does would not only be violating my free-will, that God would be putting chains of ignorance on me in order to enslave me. |
dattaswami1:My answer is a big fat no. But then, no Gods do everything for me, especially not imaginary Gods that only exist in books. I answered your question, but I'm assuming it was a rhetorical question, and not one you were asking me. Do correct me if I'm wrong. Oh. And sorry, but your "hormones are created" stopped me from visiting your recommended website, for now. |
NNTR:You don't say. Like the tree, and Adam, and Eve, and the serpent, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and God are euphemisms too? NNTR:Don't you worry about me. Concern yourself with whatever it is you do to yourself by refusing to eat the fruits of the trees of the knowledge of good and evil and remaining euphemistically enslaved in the Garden of Eden. |
NNTR:Read again NNTR. budaatum:buda fears nothing, nor do I do any evil if I can help it. As for not being impressed with my own wisdom, that would be like diminishing the immense work I may have done to acquire it like eating the fruits of the knowledge of good and evil, for instance |
NNTR:I assure you that if I had not eaten the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you would succeed in instructing me on what to give a rest to or not, but since I have eaten the fruits of knowledge I am not in any way subject to your instructions. If you are tired, you rest, instead of trying to control what I do with my time and my data and my mind please. It is rude of you to tell me what I shall do or not do since I am not your slave nor your child. And kindly resist from patronising me. I am not your beloved neither. |
NNTR:You do not see where you erred, NNTR, so it's pointless you claiming it is I who erred. And no, Adam and Eve were not expressly forbidden to eat the Fruit of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It is Adam that we read who was commanded, and that was before Eve was created. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” And personally, I'm not surprised Eve disbelieved him. I would disbelieve him too if some ignorant Adam told me I was created from his rib, especially since no God gave me any such command, "expressly". |
I have now read. NNTR:Those created in God's image do not have "no-go areas". Their duty is to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth". And as you can see for yourself, some humans have included the hard to go areas of the moon and Mars and Jupiter and the furthermost edges of the universe to that instruction. NNTR:Adam and Eve copulated in the Garden of Eden? Evidence, please! Show me where it is written that Adam and Eve copulated in the Garden of Eden. NNTR:Ignorance - lack of knowledge or information Naivety - lack of experience, wisdom, or judgement. I'm sure if I lack one I lack both. No? But note, the fruit was found good for gaining wisdom, as in not only reducing ignorance, or Eve would not have "found", but also for increasing Wisdom. So I am not surprised they were ignorant since they had not yet eaten the fruit of knowledge and did not even know they were ignorant not to talk of have wisdom, which I think they would need if they were to be fruitful and subdue and multiply and dominate and rule. NNTR:Hogwash! No potentiality to live forever is inferred anywhere. You are just doing wuruwuru to justify your belief that they died and were "walking dead people"! NNTR:None that I know of personally. But see how you could not ask me to show you anyone who died at 120 and then lived another 800 years. NNTR:Well, I too would most definitely eat a fruit that I found good for food and pleasing to the eye and desirable for obtaining wisdom. NNTR:Are you candidly threatening me, NNTR. If so know that I walk fearlessly in the valley of the shadow of death because the Gods are doing my bewaring for me. They'd be needless otherwise. I addressed this your "dead people walking" in my previous so will not waste my time going over it again. Just know that I'd love to be "dead people walking" too if eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that is good for food and for gaining wisdom is what would permit me to, most especially if it also adds just 80 years to my "dead people walking" life. 800 might be a bit too much and I might get bored. |
NNTR:I should stop right here and read no further, for if you err in a little thing as that, you'd likely have erred in the rest. Please read. The bold bit is a bit more than "expressed a strong desire" or "hope to make", especially considering that after God created humans in his image, "both male and female created he them", he went on to give them instructions (verse 28), and told them what they shall eat (verse 29), and it was so (verse 30), and it was very good (verse 30). 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” 29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Now shall I go read the rest of what you have written. |
basilico:Did you miss the bits where I posted news reports verifying what Obrigardo wrote or you just like making crap up hoping to be believed?? https://www.nairaland.com/7348971/good-people-hell-some-bad/1#117013999 |
Ken4Christ:I do not believe, period. I test every spirit and thing so that I may know and gain understanding. Hell is a state of being whereby one is tormented. And if you look around, you will see people burning in it here on earth.

Oblivion34: HitRun:HitRun, I'm now feeling guilty for not paying for the use of your work! |
brightest5050:No, it isn't. Lecturers went on strike before the 7 months started, so they can not possibly be striking for the 7 months pay for while they are on strike. Please read the below and be educated on why lecturers went on strike. HitRun:Thanks again HitRun. You are saving me from typing. |
Ken4Christ:And don't you think mere believing means "don't know"? After all, you would not merely believe if you know, or would you? Say you have a thousand Naira in your pocket. Do you just believe the thousand Naira is in your pocket or do you check your pocket so that you may know whether what you believe is true or not? If you bothered, you'd know belief is before faith. And see below all the other things one should make the effort to have on top of belief and faith.
|
Ken4Christ:Are you suggesting believing alone just makes one tremble like satan? If so, I wonder what more one should do along with just believe so one may not tremble like demons and therefore have redemption. Is it, [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Peter+1%3A3-9&version=NIV]open your eyes and learn[/url], I wonder. After all not having knowledge is a sure way to death along with trembling.

Why choose to be descended from Adam who was created from mud to ignorantly work naked in a tiny garden if you could choose to be created in the Image of God to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth"? God after all was not created from mud, or was He? So why would you choose to believe you are created from mud to be a slave instead of being created in God's Image to be fruitful and multiply and replenish and subdue and have dominion? Can those who do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil be fruitful and multiply and replenish and subdue and have dominion? Can the ignorant say, "Let there be light" and make the darkness dissapear? If so, how, and what with?

basilico:Money he hoarded and added the princely sum of $40 to in August. No wonder he's hoarding what he's got. He ain't stupid enough not to notice you magas have stopped funding his lies. |
basilico:$2m is not support enough?
|
basilico:If you had contributed I'm sure they'd have said $40 plus Basilico's 100 Naira.
