₦airaland Forum

Reflex123: @Gbawe; why not tell us what you would do to improve the economy of Nigeria if you become the President. I have seen several of your comments on this forum and I am amazed at the way you insult people that have a different opinion from yours. So please tell us what you would do to improve the economy of Nigeria if you happen to be the President.

oyinkan006: I just don't get it.... Nigerians can embark on a week long nationwide strike becos of fuel subsidy removal, buh cannot go on strike for one day becos of this ASUU-FG bullshit... The same minds that will one day govern this country are out of sch roaming aimlessly abt and There's nothing nigerians can do abt it.... Let Nigerians take the bull by the horn if ASUU and FG fails to reach a concensus..we (Nigerians )put them there, so why shld we be the ones to suffer for their selfish interest... Don't know where this country is heading o.....God help us...

firstboy101: ...what re we saying..wah is dis one saying ...is anytin transparent in dis country again

Rossikk: I just saw your profile. Are you even up to 15 years old? Little kids talking rubbish.

Flygeriansteve: You're such a stupid excuse for a human being. Tribalism has so beclouded your watery grey matter than you will excuse GEJ from the rot in the country just because he's from the South South. With people like you, corruption and depravity and be rationalized and justified along ethnic lines. Tinubu may be corrupt but he's not the president of Nigeria, he was never president. When Yaradua was president and his 7 point agenda was going no where, he was criticized by your likes I'm sure. OBJ was and is still lambasted for his selective war on corruption. But when one points how GEJ is underperforming, nitwits like you are swift to play the tribe card and excuse ineptitude because to people like you, one is first Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Hausa before they are Nigerian.

lastmessenger: thank you my brother.most people talk as if they have a magic wand to turn the country around for good.let them not forget that the military caused the problems we are facing today.they destroyed things for us and remember that it is easier to destroy than to build

Gbawe.:
Another negatively damning indictment showing, for all morally upright Nigerians, that BEJ is an unmitigated failure who is worsening our biggest problems. Far from being "transformation", this President has turned out to be a champion of retrogression and stagnation.

Nigeria is moving backwards in every aspect under this woeful accidental leader. That Nigerians put up with this abjectly incompetent President, when proof of his "kindergaten" incompetence come in overwhelmingly thick and fast every day, is the biggest disgrace of all. That, above everything else, is what reveals we are a disunited joke of a nation unable to call a spade a spade.

lymelyte: U see dis f00lish man called fagge. No student has ever supported the strike.dis man is just a blatant liar.
It is a shame dat ASUU have resulted to lieing on students to justify thier prolong inaction of academic activities.

ugopeter: Hurray!!! ASUU is 70 days old today. LLNP to ASUU and this is what Nasir Fagge had 2 say on their 70 day celebration...The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said it is continuing its nationwide strike on the advice of university students. Pls who are those University students make I swear give dem ooo

Memyselfu2009: The strike would not benefit me oooo am in my final year how would the strike benefit me inside it's prolonging my stay in sch

comrChris: Dis man shud shut dat hell of a mouth,r we dat foolish 2give dem such an advice?ASUU r too greedy 4 my liking.,dey shud stop claiming saint wen dey r nt beta dan fg smh always feeling cheated while dey r d ones cheating mtcheew

igbsam: Anybody who comes here to blame ASUU and the lecturers for the strike and saying they are fighting for their own selfish interest are as daft and clueless as the president of Nigeria. What's the big deal in investing more than 30% budget on the eduction sector of this country? ASUU are fighting for what is write and you nitwits are there blaming them. I sorry for una. After all you guys are after is just the certificate and a story you would tell to your grandchildren that you've been to the 4 walls of the university with no knowledge of what you went there to study.

Other countries have their universities equipped with research facilities and other amenities that would boost the education sector of that country. Una dey here dey go school with no sense. Sorry ooooooooo!

Number_One: This is for the true Atheist, NOT for the ex-religious folks who already know of a God but are in denial.

Have you ever considered how all that exists came into being?
The mountains, complexity of nature, trees, animals, man… Science has helped us unravel some of these but clearly, there is a lot more than science can explain.

EVOLUTION: Why is it that organisms evolved from simple to complex organisms and not the other way round? Is it not possible that complex species were first formed like dinosaurs and man before smaller organisms? This is called DEVOLUTION. See more here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devolution_%28biology%29

Now, you will agree that there is a higher power, perhaps you call it NATURE or ENERGY but it is higher and more powerful than man. Man makes mistakes, it is part of the learning curve. A baby tries to walk and falls, but tries again.
Why are there no mistakes in nature? How can evolution continue to occur at such complex rate and have no mistakes?
WHERE IS THE LEARNING CURVE OF NATURE?
WHERE IS THE LEARNING CURVE OF EVOLUTION?

Once in a while even in nature there is a mistake usually due to activities of man like radiation and diet. A woman gives birth to joined twins. My point is, this is rear. I doesn’t occur in a whole generation of species. Nature is too organised to have come from randomness and chaos.
You cannot point to a species in evolution that nature made a mistake. Perhaps when man evolved from monkeys to men, some men still had ape legs and human hands and vice versa. Or some men still retained their tails.

WHY CAN WE NOT SEE NATURE'S ERROR IN AN ENTIRE GENERATION OF SPECIES?

Clearly there is a higher and more organised force at work. It is too organized to be from randomness and chaos. Think honestly about it and do your research. Humans can achieve so much by using just 10% of their brains. Imagine a higher species that can use 90% of their brains what they can achieve. It is beyond comprehension.

Finally, to see God it must be in faith not on forums like this. You have to believe he exists to see him. That is faith. That is what the bible lets us know and that is why religious folks cannot show him to you, you must see him for yourself. He is a Spirit. I cannot show you the wind, but I can show you the works and power of the wind. So it is with God.

The book of Job is one of the oldest in the bible. Job 26:7 says "He stretches out the north over the empty place and hangs the earth on nothing".
How long did it take science to know that the earth hangs in space? How did Job know this?

Read John 1:1-14, John 3:16, Roman 10:9-10 from the bible and do your research.

If you have more questions, you can reach me at sermon (at) greenspek.com

Arguments solve nothing, however if you seek the truth, I can show you in the bible with facts. The bible is practical and not just a collection of historical articles. If it were not practicable, I will not support it.
If a man tells me that God heals, and I am sick. Of what use is that? However, if you tell me that this God can heal me when I pray in faith and then I pray and am healed. What more proof do I need?

Most beleivers fall because they did not do their research from the beginning. They probably followed the path of their parents sheepishly. The bible is factual and scientific and can be prooved only if one is ready to see it. If a man refuses to see the truth, you cannot show it to him.

Gombs: Yeah!...I yam waiting for an answer to this..or atheist think they existed by chance? Even tho we know no two beings ever exist ie there's only one me, none existed before and none will exist after me. Why is dat so? If we aint here for a purpose, then why exist? A goat exist because its purpose acoording to God ws to provide meat/food for man. And so on

mayorall: They laff oooo. Naxo dem laff Dangote then.

I slept last night inside house built with Dangote Cement, woke up in the morning, added dangote Sugar to my tea, cooked dangote spag, added dangote salt.
Now he had signed billions of dollars to construct the largest petrochemical plant in Africa.

Very soon I will start cooking with Dangote kerosine, filled car with Dangote petrol, if kerosine pour for my body na Dangote perfume.

Oluwa ranti emi nah. Na uu create me noo be Dangote.

mazizi tonene: All dis fake chinco children.....wetin we no go hear....made in china children wey dey bhv lyk experiment children...d next one go b say 2yr old chinco boy launches missiles 2 syria

infiniteloop: You can always add some of the most irritating(or weirdly stupid intending to be funny) comments you ever seen by Nigerians on a social site.

For a month now, I have been a bit frequent on Nairaland and other Nigerian websites and I noticed a trend quite ridiculous. And maybe childish(or fun).

And it is: First-to-comment.

Why should anyone just hit on a thread or blog and type 'First to comment' or 'I was here, space booked' and then zoom off.

I was just reading a post on linda-ikeji and the following comments were folks fighting over first-to-comment. In fact, the entire comments on the blog post was on this and very disconnected to the original post.

Abeg o, is there any kind of reward attach to these things. I go like know o.

As always, my most favorite people on earth(i.e Nigerians) will still likely type first-to-comment, space-booked, end-time-things on this thread.

Or even someone will quote this entire post and then comment with a 'K' or full stop.

Another is very popular on facebook now, people eagerly rushing to type 'Amen' on an obviously fake prayer or testimony.

You will even posts like: I have this tape of a woman caught sleeping with her boss, type 'Yes' to have in your boss. Boom, 5000 comments of boys and girls wanting to have the tape.

When I was a kid, we parade Nigerians as some of the finest(or brightest) people but this is not reflecting in our online behaviour.

Anyone can smell a Nigerian comment on any website-foreign or local.

Ehen another one is a case of a jambite rushing to correct grammar even when its not necc. or can be ignored.

See what Goodluck Jonathan has done to my people.

P.S.: I safely put this in the Joke section. Not exactly because I'm trying to be funny or the post is funny in fact. Make nobody attack me o.

swizzle: I must say that I am not a fan of the 'first to comment' craze but honestly this one cracked me up...I saw it on notjustok

OluwaKidda: is der anybody wu scord below 200 in jamb nd wz gvn admission

Korrection: Truth....remembered the garri war here, never believed the first to comment will go down now its end time tinz.....na wao

laughinggal: what is the significant of further spending more on things that only benefit 10 to 20 people in abuja cos am sure no one apart from their relations will still take whatever comes out it. please think of better ideas.

comrChris: y do nigerians lack respect?last tym l checked gud grammar has neva granted anyone 1st class,majority of u here claimin professor of english r 3rd class materials n u r here shouting ASUU as if u r d most serious mtcheeeew

TechyGuy: I think the real question should be:

How can an Atheist prove that God does not exist?

berem: This thread is all about the Yoruba and their colonies no doubt! I expect you as an Odua son which you claim to be, to add positive and meaningful contributions to the thread.

---

This thread is an educative one for Yorubas and non yorubas. Please stop displaying your outright stoopidity and stay on topic. If you still don't have anything to say, waka comot for the thread let people who have their brains stuck in their skull comment.

quinfayva: Any educational agenda without ist calling of ASUU strike is bunkum..case closed
