Keep supporting and rationalizing evil, it will soon reach you when they are through with the Somalis and the Latinos.

I can imagine the bs on here yelling "deport him".

This is for those who think dump forcing a fed rate cut can reduce US debt interest payments. It's the same silly logic that makes him think he can reduce credit card interest rates, which is not dissimilar to a Mamdani restricting how much rent I charge for the house I let in New York or how much I sell my gari in Obada market.

Budaatum what do you think. This is my debate with a coworkers of mine who was trying to discourage English language.

Happy birthday!

I bet your coworkers were arguing in English, lol.

I don't see why English should be discouraged, and actually think it is silly to try. Here in UK, students are encouraged to learn multiple languages instead, which is much more beneficial than learning only one language.

I had my nieces over for Christmas and was teaching the youngest to read in English, and had to teach her Yoruba ABD to help with her pronunciation.

What manner of fuckery is this
Women will always put financial security first before any of those.

And putting "financial security first" is the reason our (some) parents educate us so we can go earn our own finances instead of seeking financial security in some man, don't you think?

Or do you think I'd secure my own finances and still be looking for financial security in some man?

This is why the solution is not to ban the current vehicle, (religion) , but to disable the mechanism by empowering people with education, critical skills and immediate access to information. Once must people in Nigeria can think for themselves, no vehicle of control, religious, political, or otherwise, can operate as effectively.

I do not think a country can ban a dominant religion like Christianity and Islam. Some countries where they were not dominant (China, Japan) tried it at some point or the other and failed. Besides, knowledge of UK (and world) history would be incomplete if one does not understand the role religion has played and currently plays in the British society.

Its not like we can ban church and mosques for those who want to go there. Its preaching must however be restricted in schools as it is in UK schools, and is a reason many (Nigerian) youths leave the church their parents force them to attend as soon as they depart for university, as it is not easy to convince children who have been taken to see dinosaurs in the museum that some god created the heaven and earth in six days then rested.

The battle is between those who want people to not be empowered and those who do want to empower people, and that does indeed involve increasing access to information and teaching to think critically, which would involve restricting the preaching of (Nigerian type) religion to some extent as has been done in UK schools.

P.S. I specifically used the word "preaching" to delineate it from 'teaching' about. It is a confusion you made about my action regarding a morc, where you thought I was preaching (to grow a congregation) when I was actually teaching (and providing information) so most don't waste their money. The same sort of teaching, in schools, as opposed to preaching, is emptying UK churches. Though on that note, please read kayjordan's detailed opposing view.

triplechoice:
Before you educate another, go through the link and educate yourself first that the UK policy "bans " teaching creationism in science classes. No policy bans the "preaching of religion" outside that context. In fact, religious studies, learning about faiths, remains compulsory subject in UK schools.

"Religious studies" in UK is indeed "learning about faiths", as in, learning about all faiths, such that a religious knowledge teacher should not favour one faith (or religion) over any other faith, and 'no preaching' (calling students to any one faith) should occur in the teaching.

It is very not like the religious education as taught in Nigeria where a Muslim school may teach only Islam and a Christian one only Christianity. Such students will fail Religious studies GCSE in UK.

See the bold I have added in the post you quoted.

"And a solution might be to make science compulsory to first level uni,"

It's to imply, from when science is started to be taught (in primary school in some form or other), to the first year in uni, as you can't learn much science in one year as you noted.

triplechoice:
No. Making "science compulsory" at the first year university level would be counterproductive. A scientific mindset can, and must, be instilled much earlier, at the foundational, elementary level.

By the time students reach university, their core cognitive habits are largely formed. So, forcing a social science or arts students into a compulsory, intensive science course at that stage would be a source of frustration and a distraction from developing their actual strengths . It risks turning science into a barrier rather than a tool for critical thinking.

Depends who the woman is and what she values.

jaephoenix:
Yes,suppressing religion grows a country. Lemme explain
In the UK, preaching in certain areas are prohibited. Same with use of loud speakers.

You can't even preach religion in schools in UK.

triplechoice:
Therefore, the problem was never religion itself. The problem is, and has always been, a ruling class that perpetuates a lack of critical education to maintain a pliable populace.. Yes, Religion can be one vehicle for this, but it is not the engine. The engine is deliberate disempowerment .

I confess I arrived at this thread looking for you, and find delight in the above.

Going to pastors and imams is just an evolution from us going to babalawo, which proves your point that religion (and the promotion of ignorance and non critical reasoning) is a vehicle (for control).

It was clearly used to deliberate disempower and control Adam, who it was written was scared from acquiring knowledge least it kill him. The same narrative however also teaches how Eve used her senses (to do a scientific experiment) and prove knowledge does not kill, but some hid her sense use behind a serpent.

Osanobua. Chai. Are you for real. This explains alot.

Dt thinks science is devil worship and ordinary square roots is deception.

jaephoenix:
He has refused to educate himself. I have engaged him and many theists. There's a certain indifference and disdain they have towards science, like science is wrong and whatever the bible or pastor says is right. One Christian here Ogascomax or something like that told me scientists hate Christianity

Akinpedia highlighted deficiencies in our education system that dishes out degrees to the unlearnt.

And a solution might be to make science compulsory to first level uni, though a standard of learning would need to first be established so failures aren't passed.

Akinpedia:
​I hear you, and it's true that 'bad eggs' exist in every field. But there is a massive difference between a dubious mechanic and a Pastor, and that difference is Accountability.

​The Professional Path: If a Doctor intentionally messes up a surgery to make more money, there is a Medical Council (MDCN) that can strip him of his license. There are lab results you can take to another hospital for a second opinion. You can sue a professional.

​The Pastor Path: If a Pastor tells you to stop taking your HIV meds and you get worse, who do you report him to? If the 'miracle' fails, they tell you it's because 'your faith was small' or 'you didn't sow enough seed.' They are untouchable.

​A mechanic might rip you off for ₦50k, but a 'Man of God' can make you throw away your life, your family's peace, and your health based on a 'vision' that has no proof. We can't compare a regulated profession to an unregulated 'calling.'"

You remind me.

The woman thought it was funnny ....

It is funny watching some children wasting their parent's money and their own future. If I were the teacher, I too would laugh at their loss.

CorperKola:
You are over reacting
They didnt try to touch her
Na only woman fit reason like this

A student, even a university student, has no business concentrating on a teacher's behind and not what the teacher is teaching. And a child who is concentrating on a teacher's behind and not the teacher's teachings is throwing their parents' money and their own life down a toilet!

As for your "only woman", it shows you must be 12. A mature being who works for their earnings and pays a child's schoolfees wouldn't reason like you do, because it's no different to your child flushing your money down a toilet.

Such a terrible thing to do
They will still need to express their swxuality in the future , wont they
Or maybe you want them to be gay
What you've described is an overeaction
The way some women dress nowadays is realky sickening
You can be sure people will bring up how she dresses
Happens even in america
There is such a thing as inappropriate dressing

This is not their future. It is the present when they should be focusing on what they are being taught and not their teacher's behind. And if they continue as they are they just might end up trying to scam others out of 10k and rap¹⁵ts! But I guess you'd be grateful they are not gay

Kelle443:
Should pupils be held more accountable for such jokes?

I would hold their parent's responsible for not educating their children. And if I were that teacher, I'd be inviting those parents to come discuss their children's conduct.

My mother would come to that school and kill me at assembly with her koboko, while asking me if that's what she paid my schoolfees to go learn.

Trump is doing what a responsible leader will do for the betterment of his country.

So, going to steal another country for its resource is what "a responsible leader will do for the betterment of his country"?

Is it also okay for the "responsible leader" of a family to come and rob your family for the food in your pantry for the betterment of his family too?

That is good, but real freedom from American tyranny will come once the dollar ceases to be the reserve currency. I dont know when or if that day will come, but so long as the dollar is the reserve currency, they can do whatever they want. In fact, if they want to print Twenty Trillion Dollars today and share among themselves, they can do it and it will not even harm them nada, and that is bad and unfair to the rest of the world.

Antichristian2:
By definition, God is eternal, limitless, All-powerful and All-knowing! If your God dies, becomes limited or not powerful then that's a false god!

"By definition" does not make Gods eternal. All those dead gods were also defined as "eternal, limitless, All-powerful and All-knowing" until they were abandoned and died.

Antichristian2:
What you call evolution is actually pollution and corruption!

It is sad you think this, and the consequence of your thinking is even sadder when you consider what you purchase from nations that include evolution in their babies milk.

Antichristian2:
However, gods may fit in as we know of some gods who were previously simply humans and became gods after their death!

Zeus and many other Gods were not considered human, yet they died when the eyes of their worshippers finally opened.

Antichristian2:
The Qur'an saying was actually ignorantly interpreted by you. Allah spoke about the vastness of His words if it were to be written down. If His words is so vaste then His majesty is more majestic!

It was not an interpretation but an understanding.

If the Words of Allah are vast, we humans must read many many books in search of them. Early Muslims understood this and taught Europe about European philosophers that Europeans had forgotten.
