Hello @ Charpell, have sent to your email but haven't gotten a reply yet. Please send the details of the standalone and backup type of solar energy including their cost.
The total wattage that will be used for it is about 3000watts.

Codeberg:
yes

Woow! Incredible Have they contacted you for the monthly prize yet? And
Did you also win any weekly prize?

Reyginus:
Leadership you mean. Failure of Leadership. An example of what the ruling party APC is doing now. You kicked a man out for destroying your home but you go ahead and destroy it further.

Yeah that's what has been going on. Very very sad

Codeberg:
lol...

Are you the same codeberg..with a whooping 8+ million points to win??

Reyginus:
Okay. What about the black man. Why are we lagging now when it was our race that etched those mystic symbols at Saqarra?

Sorry for the late reply bro. Been busy.. coupled with epileptic power supply (Or rather full-time lights-out)

Dammn that's a question I cannot give a satisfactory answer to because I don't fully know....but one thing is sure...
Our home (Africa) was invaded by hoodlums!!

But instead of picking up, we are still dancing to the tune of the masters.

Most of the elites among us as well are mimicking the hoodlums.. looting and enslaving us with their will
The government, senators, trad. rules, pastors, bishops, babalawos, etc.. all of them enslaving and looting us in their own way

Are we going to rise up one day? Yeah surely we gonna rise up--one day though.

Pls how much does Tecno D5 digitizer (touch pad) cost?

Reyginus:
Fair enough but I'd be looking out to catch you redefine culture once again. What do you think is Nigeria's Problem?

Catch me!? You wish

Hmmm! Nigeria has numerous problems..I don't even know where to begin

Reyginus:
So what's the point? That culture is happening now? If so what then are we to go back to?

I believe we've come to terms with what the words culture and civilization connotes.
I think what you're asking is; if we're living a particular way, why still go back to it.. If we're living like that, then the aim has already been achieved. The real question is are we really living in a particular way that is in tune with our society.

A functional society works in harmony. Their culture defines them. They way they communicate, their beliefs, what they eat.. The culture of any society is majorly influenced by what is around them. The geographical conditions of their place, the climatic and any other type of conditions affecting them. The type of plants that are growing around them e.t.c.

Abandoning your culture is like abandoning everything around you in place of another's you thought superior. Your alien lifestyle might not work in tandem with the society you live in causing discord. Remember that culture is dynamic. It can imbibe others if it's able to work with them, if not that one becomes like a virus that needs to be tackled.
Just like you can introduce a lovely plant species in Nigeria, it might grow if both the geographical and climatic conditions satisfy its needs, else nature will reject it, disregarding your love for it.

Hope this helps.

Reyginus:
The act of becoming civil where civil is a reasonable behaviour. Did I bring culture into it now?

Hahaha! Rey u no go kill me. Is that how you define things at school? You can consult your dictionary or wikipedia for the definition but let me help you a bit.
From my dictionary:
Civilization is an organized culture encompassing many communities, often on the scale of a nation or people; a stage or system of social, political, or technical development.

Maybe to avoid using the word culture (or groups of words implying culture), you wrote that^^ or you thought that civilization is a one person affair.

Feel free to consult any authority and notify me if any is saying something totally different from that definition of civilization.

Reyginus:
No, it is exactly what your argument looks like. I don't understand you.

One. You say culture is what every human practise that's not distinct.

Please I didn't say that..If I said so please recall me to where I said so. That's why I said that it seems we were singing throughout yesterday.

Two. You say people don't have to borrow each others culture, that is Acculturation, given Russia and China as example.

What I said is abandoning yours for others. A functional society works in harmony, once culture collapses, there's always conflict. Do you understand what I meant by saying that culture is dynamic?

Three. You now say Culture is like Language and language is learned but culture is not then how does the analogy fit?

Don't quote me wrong Rey, I never said that.
Like you said that language is what we learnt from our ancestors, I then asked, "Now did you just sprout up like a weed and know all things? How did you learn your very own way of life?"

Four. You are talking about a revival of [s] the same thing you put was not learned. [/s] What's happening bro? I don't argue for the sake of it but I don't let people confuse me with words.

Misconception still.
You know the problem Rey, you are still thinking that culture is like some people wearing beads, beating drums and dancing unclad.

Now Rey what is CIVILIZATION? And can you define civilization without bringing culture into it??

RajputMaster24:
Religion is the foundation of civilization. Do you think traditional African religion is coming back? Or do you think its on the decline?

Religion (a disease born of fear and a source of untold misery to the human race) is not the foundation of civilization, rather it is a very common by-product of it. I agree that religion played some roles in civilization but it is NOT necessary for civilization.
Reason why religion still persists is because of these 3 questions human thought religion offers answers to:

Who am I?
Why am I here?
How then shall I live?

As for traditional religion, it's on decline. And with the rate Christianity is growing in Africa, it will soon be eradicated.
If I may ask do you think African traditional religion is good for the society? If yes why?

Reyginus:
Good night, bro.

Sleep like Rey .. Gonna stay awake longer..got some things to tidy up online.

Reyginus:
So in essence the culture you are talking about is the culture of people who are already dead? If a certain people at a certain time devised a method to converse and in my time I communicate differently why would I want to revive it?

Rey everything isn't an argument bro. Once we begin to see things that way, then we are lost.
Looking at what you just posted, it seems to me that we were singing the whole time

Reyginus:
Okay. What has this got to do with culture?

I just want you to answer it because your are not getting what culture means. Revival of culture is like reviving the language of your people you allowed to die for some language of foreigners who don't give a dammn about yours. I don't need to tell you how language harmonizes the society.

Reyginus:
I think language is the way we communicate. It is something we learned from our ancestors. What diversity? Is culture also something we learned from our ancestors?

The diversity I mean is why the differences in language?
Something we learned from our ancestors right. Now who thought them? Did they sat one day and thought to create it? And is language static ??
I believe you'll say it goes back and back..if not please state your answer.
Now did you just sprout up like a weed and know all things? How did you learn your language and your very own way of life?

Reyginus:
So why go back to it if it is their way of life? I don't understand. If I'm living life a particular why demand I go back to that way?

You're not getting it bro. Culture is like language. Now what do you think language is? Some laid down rules by our ancestors? And what do you think caused the diversity in it??

Reyginus:
Okay. But I'm asking which people's way of life? The people presently living or that of the dead?

Indian people's way of life, our people's way of life... dead people's way of life You're funny Rey. How can you ask me whether it is the people presently living or that of the dead?

I think I know why. It stems from your definition of culture where you thought that it was a set of rules laid down by our ancestors to guide/define their life.

Reyginus:
What exactly did we define it as? Life Systems?

Look at it again.

That's not the definition of culture. It is just the people's way of life. Culture is dynamic and it can absorb anything. Every dammn nation have their culture. Maybe when you heard culture your mind started thinking about people wearing beads and playing drums like how our western counterpart visualize Africa, but it's not so. If I may ask how did language came to be?

I just said that I believe it can be vital to civilization. If you think that it is harmful to the society please tell me your reasons. I'll welcome your view. And it's not some rule laid down by some set of people for anyone's survival.

Reyginus:
The same culture we are yet to define? What culture or should we go on to civilization?

I thought we have defined culture a very long time ago. Check the last page na; where I corrected you in your definition of culture. Or am I missing something?

Reyginus:
Life Style and if I take him back to Culture now he'd complain I ask a lot of questions. Okay. I agree. Lol.

No you can ask anything bro. Learning is paramount and it's for all. Just that I thought you'll by now be telling me what you really think is bad or good with culture and civilization.

Reyginus:
Life systems? Like what exactly?

Rey nawaa 4 uooo what are you really seeking for with all these questions?
It's nothing special. Just a conflation of two words. It's just everything pertaining life...a life style

nynbrada:
Guess you are the trash slave,

Lol. Trash! Trash! Trash

Master of selective blindness, i'm pretty sure you didn't see my first post. Go read it through and help yourself.

All I saw was someone complaining bitterly of a long text, yet wrote a long epistle in the name of refuting the op..hence I asked and still asking, in a summary, what does the word faith imply ? You can do well by answering it now.

When you pass your sojourn on Earth here without recieving him, you will find out the meaning.

Without receiving who? Christ?? Are you a master of confusion as well? Am sooo lost . You said giving a life to Christ and I asked what do you really mean by that..and you're now saying receiving

Reyginus:
I don't understand. On one had you talked about culture being the centrality of life systems and etc. On the other side you talk about Americans and Russians lacking imitation in culture. Isn't this a logical contradiction?

Hehehe No no no you misunderstood me. You quoted some and left some.

The centrality of life-systems and functionality have always been the root of all cultures, including Africa.

I meant that all cultures..meaning different types of cultures are based on the life-systems existing in each one of them.

Reyginus:
So, when you talk about African Culture what exactly are you talking about?

Oh I see! I think it's the part I said revival of our African culture... that is causing the problem. No no no I don't mean reliving the exact ways our ancestors that is ridiculous at it's best.

The centrality of life-systems and functionality have always been the root of all cultures, including Africa. Currently in Nigeria, we are just mimicking the western folks way of life as if their own is the best..and because of that we are failing in every way. Do you think if the Chinese, Russians and co were imitating the Americans, they will be were they are now? Nay!
Civilization even started in Africa and because of Western influence, we're where we are now

Reyginus:
Culture? What is culture but the way a particular people choose to live their lives over long period of times. What you call African Culture arose as a result of a way a particular people at a particular time choose to live their lives.

We shouldn't act like it's the unbroken cord of positive continuity holding together the tendons of our African spirits. We should rather do that which we consider the most good and not some method of survival mapped out by particular people to fit their time of existence.

That's not the definition of culture. It is just the people's way of life. Culture is dynamic and it can absorb anything. Every dammn nation have their culture. Maybe when you heard culture your mind started thinking about people wearing beads and playing drums like how our western counterpart visualize Africa, but it's not so. If I may ask how did language came to be?

I just said that I believe it can be vital to civilization. If you think that it is harmful to the society please tell me your reasons. I'll welcome your view. And it's not some rule laid down by some set of people for anyone's survival.

@ cutehector Aren't you guys tired of all these old redundant conjectures you call proof!? Know what proof means, do your homework and try again.

Meanwhile check this out.. One guy made me post it-- very interesting

Gargantuan heap of trash.
Root cause:
Definist Fallacy.
Solution:
- The lot of you Atheist here should go and give you life to Christ and stop deceiving yourselves.
Next,,.......

This got me laughing. Have you been a trash master before?
You cancelled the OP, please in a summary what does the word faith imply, and what do you mean by giving a life to christ??

Nice write up Nina4u. Some things were interesting but how did you know this

"Further, it has been established that this seven-day weekly cycle has never been disrupted or broken, even back to the time of Adam and Eve. "

The Gregorian was introduced to mark time based on the revolution of the earth, highly influenced by the Roman church. So how did you know that our Thursday which is our (depends) fifth day of the week is still the same thursday and fifth day of the week when you go back in time to 19 B.C?

How did you that the first day the biblical God started creation was on a Sunday and actually rested on a Saturday??

Do you know that Monday is the first day of the week according to International standard, ISO 8601?
Various Christians have their reasons for worshiping on a Sunday and other days they chose.

RajputMaster24:
Dear Friends, what efforts are underway in Nigeria or Africa to revive the African civilization? Is there any work being done to bring back African religion?

Bring back African religion? Is not yet dead anyway; we are just praying for it to die. All religion in African should be eradicated, not even quarantined because it does more harm than good (infact only harm). I hope this your question is not for thesis. Lol

As for African civilization, I believe revival of our culture, that is not influenced by religion, will be vital to it. Culture is the core of our African humanity and unlike religion could be truly syncretized which is heathy. It plays a good influence in the economic, social and political aspects in a society.

Anyway, civilization can never be achieved by sitting at home and waiting for the government to do everything and create a functional society. That is what religion is telling us (pray and fast for Nigeria). Rather reverse will be the case..embezzlement and whatever you can think of will be the norm.

davien:
lordnicklause that error is a popular one, it's one of many that have failed reconciliation since the compilation of the texts...

And it will remain so like many others..Am yet to see a Christian wriggle himself out of that one.

In Matthew 27:3-8
* Judas returned the 30 pieces of silver
* Died by hanging
* The priests bought the Potters field (Know as Field of Blood) with the money.

In Acts of the Apostles 1:18-19
* Judas didn't return the money
*Died by falling headlong [we don't know from where exactly-I prefer a maggi cube] and bursting his belly
*He bought the Field himself (called Akel Dama) with the money.

lordnicklaus:
Can you quote the supposed contradictory verses?

Supposed??
Just read Matthew 27:3-8 and
Acts 1:15-19
