Politics › Re: AFENIFERE Gives Reasons For Choosing Peter Obi - TBE Magazine by budaatum: 2:32pm On Sep 26, 2022
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:
Critical thinking is offensive to the vast majority of religious Nigerians.

If you doubt me, just see how they struggle to hold intellectual conversations for long on the religion section. They struggle to answer questions that either confronts their belief system or stimulate that white meat in between their ears to think!
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!

brightest5050:
A) F.g not paying ASUU for the 7 month of the strike is it justified?
Of course it is justified! No work no pay.

brightest5050:
B) Or should FG pay ASUU for the 7 month strike on compassionate ground (any compassion whatsoever) but not because the union has the right to be paid for these 7 month?
Yes Government should pay ASUU if ASUU can make them, though they don't have the right to be paid, see above.

brightest5050:
Your answer to question A) and B) use it to answer if the union declaring indefinite strike because of 'no work no pay policy' of government is a good reason for a union that "want to save public institution from collapse"
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!

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.

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.

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

If you do not see where you erred, then good on ya, wehdone sir.

Wise decision to stop since you're watering fake plant(s), expecting it to bloom and blossom with real flowers

Please confirm if A&E were expressly forbidden or not expressly forbidden, from eating the fruit from TKGE.

Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.
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".
Christianity Etc › Re: Story Of Adam And Eve Makes Sense To Me by budaatum(op): 12:57am On Sep 26, 2022
I have now read.

NNTR:
this expressly is a no-go area
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:
Beloved, give A&E some credit nah, they were not ignorant of copulation
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 isnt the issue here, it is naivety.
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:
While A&E were created potentially to live forever,
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:
Please tell me the total number of all who lived 800 - circa 900 years old
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:
Eve never ate and said she found it good for food and for gaining Wisdom, however what Genesis 3:6 states, is that, when Eve saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it period.
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:
I'll be candid with you, beware for what its worth to know that A&E right from the moment of eating the fruit, with automatic alacrity, literally speaking, were dead people walking.
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.

I am not familiar with 'Before Adam and Eve, God is written to have created humans', what I know is, before Adam and Eve, God is written to have expressed a strong desire for creating humans or hope to make humans in the image of the Godhead
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.

But men are careless because they don't even believe in any impending doom. And Satan is responsible for their blindness so he can lure more people to hell.
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?

Are you suggesting believing alone just makes one tremble like satan?
