She's now ranked 73? Wwtin happen

Like Kim Clijsters and Vikky Azarenka, its hard for a female Tennis player/ former world number 1, to climb back to the top after a long hiatus off the cliff

akaahs:
The name sound black man though

I actually thought same too

Wetin Dangote chop wey dey make am dey vomit anyhow like this


Honestly speaking, based on whats been happening in this sector in the last 20days or so, i think i agree with him

We have an already laid down plan and we've been following it devotedly

These hard time have always been inevitable, but then it wont continue to be that hard

Our Economic reforms will start paying off from Jan 2025

Sacrifice made. Results are coming

How to immortalize myself for at least, 200 more years post 2100

Thinking of erecting a statue of myself in a deep wild forest or maybe I'd have to invent something as a scientist

So the Heroic Kanu actually made this plea

Na so Mandela do?

AGF should tell him to "STFU and do the term,Son"

No pardon for terrorists. They deserve every negative things life has to offer and thats because of the number of people they've made to mourn

Wike is smarter than these guys x10000

He understands and knows how to use power within the terrain of rule of law

He doesnt fight aimlessly. He fights only a purposeful fight with 99% chance of winning

Shame on everyone thats ever had any reason to hate Wike

Depends on the gender

For guys: I really dont have much to say. You be human being na, Use your head

For Ladies: Shes prolly coming to my dungeon, Its usually only on weekends and all BDSM rules apply.
Like:
1) Be ready to hold a session with me at anytime of the day, even at 1am
2) You need to do everything that is written in our agreement form(Like Ferdinand Magelland, my exploration knows no bound)


Zero Complexities

I understand her worries and we all can feel her pains but the thing is, if those steps werent taken at all, Nigeria would still cease to exist by Dec 2026.

This is a very critical stage and we couldnt have wished for a better leader to handle this

This mama will smile again. We are almost there

So, the even the Oba confirmed that this stands top as one of the freest and fairest Edo election of all time, but some angry mob 10000km away actually believe differently

This isnt same as that rubbish voting session we saw under Maurice Iwu

God Bless the Oba and the Good People of the state




Wailers can converge in Agulu to cry proper

This one don do pass that 63yo guy from Agulu.

Like someone rightly pointed out, its hard to conceive an election period in Edo state where everything goes peacefully, an Edo election where almost everyone agreed that it was 80% free and fair but then, we have it

Cry more more, sir

This is second most embarrassing thing in the world

He should be punished severely for this


Thieves arent kind. They are callous and wicked.

He should be made to lie down and have 50ladies on high heel shoes trample upon him

Just silly accusations and random name-dropping

They should trash this

So the person that uploaded this like the man for his dance steps

Thats how some people assumed that one 63yo clown from Agulu would be a worthy leader, just because he likes playing with kids and attending School graduation parties

No wonder some people are being ruled by shiity leaders

Who chooses a leader based on these silly reasons

This ones have always been lazy

Dem dey strike under every President

Just wanna be in the news like the others

PBAT should tell the Minister of Education to hold a round table dialogue with them

Its unthinkable to assume PBAT isnt working

Bar Economic reforms, Man has put out tens and hundreds of new policies and adjusted a few others to ease this Nationwide struggles

We are almost there. It can only get better from here on

God Bless us all

89green:
fake news, someone I know board Lagos to Borno plus return at 2500 naira which is 99.9% discount. All was possible with his discount card

Its okay to be uncreative in other advance skills offline, but to be an uncreative troll online is even more troubling

I've seen 10000 other needless comments on Nairaland and they are still better than this one

Spits

This one dey moan pass the Airline owner themselves

This should be a worry to Onyema and co, not you

What would a full Airport do for you? You be Keyamo?

Pity giiigooory is a ceritifed loser and a world-renowned failure, so its normal for him to moan over everything

Now, even Edo people have seen him for who he is

Spit on his head

I guess the feeling his heavenly and I hope its a male child

If na woman.... hmmm

Congrats to him

Hope say dem go include "History" make all the revised edition wey we dey read for Nairaland no go dey change the real story offline, generation after generation

We badly need this

Its like Dangote's refinery isnt going to curb ven this. Then we prolly have bigger problems than we initially assumed

He said his fuel production can fulfill all our needs, then they artificially created this again

PBAT needs to open a round table meeting with Kyari and Dangote

Trump don too do. Make he rest abeg.

E just dey pain me say na Woman dey follow am drag.

How do you compare stats from states in two different countries with diff metrics?


Be like i go dey watch whose comment to dey read on NL now o

People here arent as bright as i think


I'm out

So we arent done with this yet

In the end, wetin we con achieve with the Dangote refinery?

PBAT needs to have a keen look at this

Obidients are like a pre-programmed bots, coded to only recognize one specific info(Negative news), and to only give out just one specific output(bitter attacks).

Thats the same reason they could only see things from a negative perspectives, no matter how fully clothed in positivity the News is


David is also like them, only a lil smarter, so its normal to see him slam them anyhow and still have them run to him like lambs anytime

Its cool to see him educate these block-headed guys tho

As the richest man in Africa, its actually a sin staying anywhere on Lagos Island/Maitama close to some Bank Managers, Artistes, SM influencers and Directors of Multinational firms


He should reside among his peers.

Thats Class

Namaster:
Meanwhile EVERY woman, including schoolteachers and married women, wants to jump on OnlyFans to offer Porn-As-A-Service to ANYONE who will pay them $9/month.

Now this one is scrubbing her BLACK YANSH in public and posted the video on Social Media.

Its actually $9/clip
They rake in a whole lot of money from it

An average feet pic seller on Only-fans makes over $2k/month by just selling feet pic. I dont even wanna talk about how much they earn by making video calls with pigs(that one is pay per mins), not to talk of full body view via webcam


If most Nigerian ladies could find their ways around Only-fans, I swear, a large percentage of them would forget about their careers and move there fulltime


The issue is the Skin color. African women arent sellable(I wouldnt buy from them too ) and thats why they hardly make anything on OF

With the right info, women in banking sector would resign en masse to go own a community of pay-pigs online

Kukah and Abdulsalami are meeting as what? Heads of the Government?


Anyway, We are at the early stages of the harvest season. The reforms will start paying off as soon as possible and we will finally have a stronger reason to believe in PBAT

Peep into the future and see what it holds for us

God Bless Nigeria

Chosen members just go give Atheists more reasons dey yarn nonsense

One doesnt have to spiritual to know that some things are impossible metaphysically

As for Atheists, self-service on top this, nothing go still change

Our unbelief doesnt invalidate Gods existence

After NYSC, these two companies dey among the few ones wey dey bail young Nigerian youths out

God bless them and him

I no go doubt am if them call am billionaire. No be all those ones wey dey form billionaire for their 2 by 2 shops

Angelfrost:
Lol... The way una take carry tribe for head ehn!


The funny thing is with all the tribalism, the nation is still not moving forward.


Una get power for such childish and mundane things sha.

E be like say things are truly not as bad as they say...! Cos, how una still dey get the energy and time for online ethnic noise?!!

What's tribal about the Op's post

It's just a factual post. Either he opened a thread on it or not, it's not gonna change the reality on ground



That's you see this as a tribal post is even worrying

Firstly, I never knew you were back already cause hardly check mention. Secondly, I will be engaging you with this moniker and the Caesar's as my beloved DevilsEqual have been banned again.

I just hope you will one day follow me to my Ethiad stadium turf, so i can show you what other peoples eyes are seeing and why they keep reporting me out of fear

I desperately wanna overwhelm you with hundreds of sound argument, so much that you'd be forced to run away.I would like to turn this argument in my tide as i badly wanna incharge of any convo that involves you. I want to feel on top

Its funny too, how you're at an advantage position of arguing for science, yet you are struggling to win. I would 10X better than this. Spits

JessicaRabbit:
I was warned that my post was "too long", so here's PART 1 of my original reply:



I don't see how I've "gish galloped" you anywhere in this discussion. I presented specific questions, targeted towards your understanding of the word "design". They're not a barrage of random, unrelated points -- which would have made it an actual gish gallop fallacy. So once again, you have no idea what you're talking about. My question was intended to uncover your understanding of design, and how complexity is supposed to demonstrate design. That's literally it.



Well at least you've conceded that alternative explanations may exist, although your concession is promptly undermined by the assertion that these alternatives are inherently flawed. Your criticism of alternative theories as "incoherent" and "full of gaps" is a curious case of pot-and-kettle logic. You do realize that intelligent design, your preferred explanation which you've been touring as superior, relies heavily on an untestable, supernatural entity -- a notion that is, by definition, incoherent within the scientific framework. You realize this, right? The "gaps" in other scientific theories like Natural Selection and Evolution are, at the very least, acknowledged and actively researched. Intelligent Design's gaps, on the other hand, are fundamental and irreconcilable with empirical evidence. Also, kindly spare me the blatant appeal to popularity. The truth of a scientific theory isn't determined by its popularity, but rather by the strength of its empirical evidence and predictive power. I would have expected you to know this since you claim to value science so much.



The Big Bang actually has nothing to do with the origins of life. You should probably learn the distinction between cosmology and abiogenesis to understand this. Cosmology focuses on the origins and evolution of the universe as a whole, while abiogenesis explores the emergence of life from non-living matter. Conflating these two fields will only create unnecessary confusion. The Big Bang makes a good case explaining the formation of subatomic particles, atoms, and eventually, the large-scale structures we observe today. However, it does not, nor does it pretend to, address the origin of life. So to suggest that the Big Bang theory "falls short" in explaining life's origin is a misplaced criticism. Regarding the claim that some scientists find the Big Bang theory insufficient, this is a classic case of cherry-picking. A handful of dissenting voices do not undermine the overwhelming consensus among cosmologists and physicists. The Big Bang theory has withstood decades of rigorous testing and observation. The fact that a handful of scientists acknowledge the limitations of the theory doesn't render it useless. In fact, it just serves to reflect the inherent nature of scientific inquiry. Theories are refined or expanded as new evidence emerges, and scientists actively explore areas beyond the Big Bang, such as quantum gravity, inflationary theory, and multiverse hypotheses. These investigations are simply meant to refine our understanding, not force us to simply pick and choose between competing scientific theories.

This is one of the issues i have always had with you. I never "Conflated" those two theories together, even a Secondary school student knows the difference between the two. I only stated why most arguments about the origin of life have always been between Creationists and Evolutionists and thats because, the Big Bang concept really didnt leave space for the the origin of life discusssion and since thats the best argument th creationists could come up with, they tend to ignore it and only focus on Darwins Evolution

Also, all you did there was to keep throwing Scientific terms around needlessly. Read my comment again and you'd see that i didnt even dive deep into the Big Bang and thats because i dont want us to discuss two unrelated topics on the same thread.If you want us to go that way, then I could come up with the Universe design and that would allow you spit out all the Science jargon you briefly learnt from wherever


Also, My major point in that paragraph was what i read in a Scientific magazine where some scientists said "The big bang theory does not describe the birth of the universe and that Scientists are looking to look behind the Big Bang and the origin of the universe”. So i know no where you see wetin u dey tackle

Interesting. According to you, a work backed by extensive scientific evidence has little merit compared to a book about talking bushes and men turning into pillars of salt. It's quite remarkable how some of you guys don't see the ridiculousness in statements like this.

You are always quick to assume I'm a Christian and I wonder what aspect of my response ever pointed at that
You did same thing in February when we started this argument. I dont know how you assume I'm automatically a bible believer as i never attributed anything to the Biblical God since we started.

Try and respond without a preconceive notion and erroneous assumptions please

Sorry, but the transformation of matter into energy is not chaos. It's a fundamental principle of physics, and a predictable, measurable process governed by the laws of thermodynamics. If that's chaos, then I'll have to wonder what your definition of order is? And what does this statement even mean: "the universe is lovely and harmonious"? Are you referring to the aesthetic appeal of, say, supernovae or the movement of planetary orbits, because those are also the result of deterministic physical processes. At the molecular level, I'm still waiting for your explanation of how intelligent design accounts for the myriad inefficiencies, contradictions, and vestigial structures found in living organisms. The vestigial pelvis in whales, the recurrent laryngeal nerve's detour, or the molecular machinery shared across domains of life -- do these scream "design" to you? I also asked you a question about the instincts of a moth which you're yet to reply i.e why do moths constantly feel compelled to endanger themselves by flying into flames?

I have been trying to avoid this question and thats because its hard to explain some natural phenomenon and in few cases like this, Creationists still turn to Science(Not Evolution) as their understanding of our planet makes us understand things deeper but since you wanna end me with this, lemme just drop a few things I saw


From my first comments on INSTINCT, i referenced how birds and some insects naturally navigate by using heavenly bodies as compass for directions, now since Scientists opined that Moths use natural light sources like the moon to navigate, and that the habit of moths flying into flames is because artificial light sources like candles and bulbs are considerably closer than the moon, then their Natural Instinct is confused when they come into contact with them. They swirl into the light as a result of disoriented flights which frequently results in harm.


Remember the Green House Effect and how the activities and human inventions can disturb Natural phenomenon, thereby leading to adaptation, or even as far as microevolution(Mutations) in some species, same thing i agreed on in my previous comments, then its safe to say that this behavior wasn't initially self-endangering, because it most likely evolved in a setting free from artificial lighting.



But then, there are other examples of how man-made things and technologies interfere with instincts that evolved in natural environments and on some animals . For Instance, In whales' natural echolocation system—which they utilize for communication and navigation—can be disrupted by ship sonar, leading to disorientation. This may cause whales to get stranded along the coast, leading to beaching accidents.

Another is the Nocturnal Animals like Owls, bats and even rodents, Artificial lights like in the case of s Moth, can alter their internal clocks, causing them to alter their mating and feeding habits, or it may lessen the amount of darkness they rely on for hunting. In cases of these Nocturnal animals, unlike in Whales, these animals adapt to these changes over times as urbanization abounds and it could have a lasting effect on their Instinct, that is, their successive generrations would only work with these altered behaviors that has been the norms.


That aside, there are tens of excellent features in a Moth that can be attributed to "Intelligient design", for example, Despite having a wingspan of barely one inch (2.5 cm), the tiny diamondback moth occasionally travels over the choppy North Sea to fly between Europe and Britain.
Genrerally, The cornea of the moth's eye is unique in that it is made up of arrays of tiny bumps grouped in hexagonal patterns. The bumps "have a size smaller than visible light's wavelength.". A moth's eye can capture light from various angles and wavelengths due to the arrangement and dimensions of those arrays. The small bumps have a height of only 200–300 nanometers. To put things into perspective, the typical human hair has a width of over 80,000 nanometers!

In fact, In order to improve the design of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which are frequently used in electrical products, engineers aim to gain a better knowledge of the moth's cornea. One might also apply the moth's eye design to solar power. Up to 35% of light may be reflected by silicon solar panels, which is a major loss of potential energy. However, Peng Jiang, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of Florida, U.S.A and his associates created only a silicon that reflected less than 3% of light by mimicking the neat bumps of the moth's eye.

I dont even want to talk about the pollination prowress of the Pronuba Moths. Its funny tho, how all you could see when you observe and learn about a moth is the only human-disrupted-cum-normal biologically destructive behaviors of the Moths, while ignoring tens of other exceptional arrangement of this very creature and their instinctive response to their being a Nocturnal insect.

Just one issue cause by human inventions and you cancelled out a whole designs. Damn!!!

With all of it's imperfections, panspermia is still an alternative explanation worth exploring. And I wasn't looking for a specific example. I just wanted to know if you're open to the possibility that there might be other explanations beyond your dichotomous view of intelligent design vs. natural selection. Your casual dismissal of the theory is just another reflection of your lack of intellectual curiosity.

That's a nonsensical claim, considering many of the foundational concepts in modern science were first proposed by philosophers. You should really brush up on your science history before uttering such ridiculous pronouncements.
The universe is a pretty big place with a lot of room for innovation and the discovery of new knowledge. I think it's highly presumptuous of you to casually assume that we've already exhausted all the possibilities

Those scientists may agree on complexity, but that's where the consensus ends. What's missing is the leap from complexity to intelligent design, which you are struggling to demonstrate so far. Correlation doesn't imply causation, my friend. Don't hide behind "the scientists said so". They're not oracles. Their findings are open to interpretation. Where are your thoughts? Citing studies doesn't absolve you of critical thinking, I hope you know that. By the way, how do you really define fiction, because you seem to be confusing natural selection, an observed, documented and experimentally confirmed process, with intelligent design, which, conveniently, has no testable hypothesis, let alone empirical evidence. How much longer are you going to keep up this wilful self deceit?


If a researcher, after all their experiments, documented that natural selection "didn't apply", then I'd be the first to question the validity of those experiments or the researcher's methodology. But until then, I think I'll just stick to the overwhelming, peer reviewed body of evidence that actually, you know, supports the theory of evolution. And maybe you're right about me being a "zealous atheist". I am quite zealous about the idea that we should base our beliefs on reason and evidence, rather than on ancient texts or creative fantasies.

You seem to be more confused about these concepts than i initially thought or maybe you just understand simple statements differently.
I see how you keep throwing subtle shades at the Bible, I cant remember using a biblical definition for anything in at any point, so shocking to see you do like the other Atheists that are quick to make mockery of some religious texts

You people have a funny logic, you sure dont believe in a particular thing but you are quick to run to wherever that stuff is being discussed, not only to argue(thats perfectly fine) but also to make jest and troll that same stuffs you regard as nonexistent. Its like going to every single place dragons are being discussed to make jest of those having a tense argument about some dragonic behaviour, even when you know that dragons dont exist....

Wel, lemme leave you with this what this Recognized evolutionist Loren Eiseley conceded: "Science found itself in the unenviable position of having to create its own mythology: namely, the assumption that what, after much effort, could not be proved to take place today had, in truth, taken place in the primeval pastes." Eiseley had chastised the theologian for his reliance on myth and miracle.

Also, Its ridiculous to ask me not to rely on what Scientists say, when I am do not carry out these experiments and even see indepth into what they actually did in the Lab

Your not relying on Science Journals is the major reason why you could erroneously assign the "Natural Selection Variable" to just any questions thats being asked, even when Scientists that continously study these mechanisms and features to update their knowledge keep coming up with unsatisfactory deductions

Na me know why i still dey follow you argue sha, I for don move since cause your argumentative method is based on your own limited understanding and its draining to keep explaining things to you. When i get a fill of what i want, I go port


I will reply your other mentions tomorrow after work, so choose what evidence you would want me to present next

1)Our Universe
2)Animal Eyes
3) Human Brain
4) Human-Ape Gap
5)DNA complexities in that order

But if there are any of these topics you've discussed with any Theist before now, notify me please so i can remove it. I can se you once discussed issues on Thermodynamic with some guys before, so I wont be towing that path
