I included a figure to give a visual aid to point out how insignificant such a duration would be against what an eternity would be.

Ordinary sleep deprivation plays havoc with our psyches talk more about enduring something with no end in sight.

I am not convinced our consciousness survives even if I agree that our energies gets recycled into the universe. I think that recycle process actually shows there is no consciousness after death since energy carries no such traits.

Consciousness is still a very mysterious thing about which we understand little. I would hesitate to conclude definitely on what energies are conscious and what arent . Some even look at the Earth itself as a living thing and when one sees the life that sprouts from it, it is hard to argue that it is not living, and some thereon say it is also conscious.

I do not as yet make these conclusions myself but suffice to say that I can respect the fact that there are likely different types of consciousness we dont understand as yet.

Tinubu is the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Jesus Christ is God.

Are you sure Tinubu is not the third member of the Holy Trinity and therefore God?

Image123:
Yes, it was the best decision to take politically. i see you didn't find a better solution. As for legality, we'll wait for the judiciary's take. The matter is in court, last i heard. But the executive and legislative didn't see anything wrong with it.

Please tell me, is there any difference between Tinubu and Jesus Christ in your view?

LordReed:
The human mind cannot properly process what an eternity actually means. Our minds have been formed by our inevitable mortality. This idea of living forever is a fantasy than we have dabbled with because it sounds great but doesn't actually tackle how much such a thing will impact our psyches.

We cant even comprehend the concept. Even if you try to think about it, you will find yourself stumped. That shows our clear limitation.

Just image if every single human being who has ever lived was in this so called heaven and you met 1 new person every 100 years, by the time you have met every single person once you still won't have entered 0.00000000000000001% of eternity.

You cant even allocate anything like a fraction or percentage to it. You can only do that to a finite or specified quantity.

I think the whole concept is just wishful thinking from a set of beings that have always despaired about death. The concept negates death yet has no real substance behind it.

Well said.

Make peace with your mortality, your death will be final.

Nonetheless the nature of our consciousness strongly suggests that it is merely encased in this body and might escape it at death.
One thing that may suggest a sort of eternity for us though, is the fact that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - it only changes form - the first law of thermodynamics.

The court that has refused to even fix a hearing date after how long? Who is fooling who?

Image123:
What do you think should have been a better solution? Recall that Sim wasn't listening or ready to follow whatever internal agreement he made. And he had a Supreme Court judgment hanging on his head.

Oga, there is politics and there is law. If you want to argue that politically it was a good decision, that is a different discussion. As far as law is concerned, it was and remains completely unconstitutional and illegal.

Image123:
The Sim governor was clearly on his way to impeachment. How people refuse to see this intervention and even be grateful show the level of hypocrisy they have.

You have come again. You defend even that blatant illegality. It is well.

LordReed:
You admitted that ICR isn't an accredited scientific institution so why are you posting this?

A very poor, shallow article lacking any intellectual rigor.

wirinet:
Yes you are right, many Yorubas especially those who have never left their villages categorise anyone from across the River Niger as Igbo, but Benin? Yorubas no matter how ignorant would call a Benin person Igbo. Benin has a long shared history the Yorubas.

True.

wirinet:
He is just speaking from a position of ignorance and Igbo nationalism. Yoruba People seeing Benin and Urhobo people as Igbo? That's a lie. Both Yoruba and Benin people claim the same progenitor - Oduduwa. Benin Oba gave Lagos its Monarchy. So which Yoruba persons have mistakingly mistook a Bini name for Igbo?

They dont do that. What some tend to do is categorize everyone across the River Niger as Igbo.

Is he related to Kingsley Moghalu?

This half truth is effectively a scam.

Can we have a list of top losers in the NSE for the same period, to get a complete picture of what is going on.

Juanmike:
Sowore should try his popularity starting from LG chairmanship then we can take his serious.

He should at least try the House of Reps or Senate.

MaliCampus:
Emilokan emilokan, the Olodo is no where to be found.,he thought presidency is childs play. E never see anything Lols e already ran away from social media,now e has ran away from Nigeria.

Napt where is Tinubu? You must bring that corn out from your pocket, I want to see you eat it.

Wherever this despicable element has been flung to, please let it remain there.

To understand the mentality of Asaba People and by extension Anioma people, read this piece about the history of Asaba from Asaba National Association - https://asabausa.com/about-asaba/

Read the screenshot to understand the mindset of Asaba People in relation to the core igbos.

My wife actually told me that during her stay in Asaba with her cousins, they (the youths) told her thar if the IPOB and the igbos disturb them too much about co-opting them into Biafra or Igbo state, they would blow up the bridge, which is the thing connecting them with Igbo mainland.

Interesting! Thank you.

wirinet:
That's the point I am trying to make to Igbo nationalists. That a people speak Igbo does not necessarily mean they must be tethered to other igbo speaking people in a political unit. Language is not the only consideration for creating geopolitical political units, other considerations such as history, trade, geographical landmarks, cultural affiliations, etc, are equally as important.

I know for a fact thar majority of Anioma people will prefer to remain with the South South than join the south east in a political affiliation. My wife is both from Imo and Anioma (Asaba). The was in asaba last month visiting her maternal family. She experienced the hostility by Asaba people towards core igbos in trying to drag them by force into the south east political issues.

Wow.

wirinet:
These people had never and I repeat NEVER complained of being separated from their Igbo kith and kin, they were proud westerners under Awolowo, they were proud mid-westerners, they proudly shouted "up Bendel" under Bendel State. Till date they are very happy to still be political brothers with other tribes in Delta State and by extension happy to be termed South South along with other niger Delta tribes. That you guys from core Igbo states are desperately trying to force them to abandon over a century of political affiliation and cajole them into yours will certainly be met with resistance. That's why IPOB is not popular in Asaba, Ukwani, Ikwerre, and other non core Igbo speaking people.

Language had never been the main determinant of political units throughout history. There are many German speakers in Switzerland, Austria and even Belgium. That doesn't mean Germany must claim those people.

They did claim Austria and integrate it into Germany during the time of the Nazis though, and in fact Hitler was Austrian.
Political or national lines and boundaries are not as original and authentic as ethnic lines and in truth the "nation" and people known as Germany and Germans extend beyond todays political boundaries of the Federal Republic of Germany, just as the Hausa and Fulani extend all across West Africa and just as the Bantu extend across East Africa.

I see her regretting the decision,

I see the incompetent Athletics Federation ruining her chances of competing at the highest level by not producing her passport on time or making administrative errors regarding registrations for competitions.

I see her switching back to the USA,

This I have seen!

No one is asking you to not post. You can abuse obidients and Obi as much as you wish. You can even tag people who disagree with you whatever suits your fancy.
The red line is to lie around that you're neutral in a bid to validate your bias as one borne out of any moral or scientific standing. That's where you played the penalty to throwing
Eat your corn in peace. No one is interested in your balablu rants.
Like I've told you and several of your kinds, the most uncouth, hypocritical, immoral and jaundiced crew still remain the BAtists. For 8 years Buhari could do no wrong and anyone who spoke against him was swiftly put down in a macabre manner.
He had not even reached Aso rock gate on May 29 2023 when he was swiftly put down as the worst ever by the same crew that glorified him. That level of shameless turncoats has not been seen anywhere on the face of the earth since the fall of man.
This to any sane mind makes them the worst set of political urchins ever. Such level of group treachery is worse than that of Brutus

Add to that the unspeakable shamelessness of the Reno's and Bwala's of this world.

helinues:
The coalition are still living in the past when Shettima has already cleared the air about his statement.

The Nigeria opposition don't know more than make things scatter as they themselves are not even organized

Like Mmannabbqgrills you too will disappear after this govt is gone.

Why is that governor dressed like a spare parts dealer.

zero8zero:
People who think you don't have are correct because if you did, you would know the difference between removal/dismissal and suspension.

Deceive yourself.

Ttalk:
Just leave the Obidients who want to hold onto straw just to make themselves happy

Here you go yet again.
In your mind it's only Obidients who disagree with the unconstitutional act of BAT in Rivers

Later you will try to deny this assumption.

Putindbutt:
Fubara was not removed, he was suspended and soon be reinstated. The bitter opposition should understand the difference.. educated illiterates.

Which section of the constitution empowers the president to suspend a governor.

But why would anyone buy a phone or laptop without testing it on the spot

The US under Trump lacks integrity.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I will never believe Shettima did not know the direct implication of his words. All these games being played by trying to distinguish removal from suspension are nothing but dishonest gymnastics. He knew what he said and implied, as far as I am concerned, this statement is merely political gamesmanship probably to cool things down.

FreeIgboho:
My friend, who do you think you're trying to confuse?? You have decided everything Jesus says is to be strictly construed - no explanation, no addition, no subtraction.
YET you leave something he said that actually makes NO sense and needs explanation, and instead trying to explain something that needs no explanation!

What the heck do you need to to explain in this:

John 14:9
New International Version
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

His explanations suffice.
I am now too afraid of you to bother explaining anything too much myself.

MeetDx:
Clean. I don't even understand what all these confusion in Christianity means. With all these glaring truths they will still be arguing!

Its painfully tiresome. The man made it abundantly clear. When he says that he wants us to be one in the same same way he is one with his father.

Does that mean that he wanted Peter to be James or John to be Matthew?

Very obvious he is talking about unity, and not being the same person.
