Notmyproblem:
I like listening to opposing argument. Can you tell me your opinion on how voting/not voting impacts the lives of the masses in Nigeria. We all voted massively for the present administration but not too long into their tenure they gave their children/relations juicy jobs through the back door. Today those that voted are no different from those that didn't because we are all feeling the heat we all could as well not have voted and nothing would have changed.

I may be wrong but election in Nigeria is highly rigged so instead of the masses wasting their precious time and some of them getting killed why not step aside and let the politicians for once justify their rigging on a no-vote election.

Yes, I can step aside...but NOT for an agenda championing IPOB cause...

linearity:
I guess the photo journalist that had been close to these lions for days observing them and mostly not his first time of seeing lions and identifying their gender is possibly wrong.

...And you commenting from the comfort and safety of your home, several thousands miles away and in front of a computer maybe possibly right.

Look at the sheer difference between their sizes. Being a photojournalist doesn't make you a scientists. Mind you, this may be written to push a narrative.

chloride6:
If plants do it , animals do it and then human do it, then it is as natural as natural can be.

They aren't male lions. One is a lion while the other is a maned lioness.

DIKEnaWAR:
This shows how we as Africans don't research or study our environment to improve or make it better.

These lions have been in Kenya for some years or months, yet no one there observed they were gay till a London photographer came visiting (probably for some days) and made the discovery. For those claiming Mungo Park did not discover River Niger, can you see your lives?







Some of you rush to comment without comprehension just to sound intelligent.

I am talking about discovering that those two lions in Kenya were gay and not general animal/lion sexual behavioural pattern.

FYI, they aren't gay. one is a maned lion while the other is a maned LIONESS. The sheer difference in their sizes suppose to tell you that.

blueAgent:
Africa is backward becos most Africans are dumb with a dumb culture.

so is your 'dumb' comment

popelix:
gay is an act of nature, not a choice...so as being straight comes natural too..... be wise Africa... font kill ur brothers out of ignorant and primitivity

So with your twisted logic, since ducks, sea otters,geese rape their female partners we should also do likewise because 'it is natural too'. Listen, sometimes you don't have to be a sycophant just because you want to be seen as a 'civilised' being. Not everything the West throw at us is to be gulped down without critical thinking. When you continue seeing their thesis has always right, in no time, you will become a robot they want you to be. Have you ever ask your self the reason homosexuality is being 'aggressively' forced on Africans rather than 'technology secrets'?...Overpopulation!

neoOduduwa:
It's nothing new, people have just found a way to criminalize homosexuality based on "morality" and religious beliefs.

You threaten the likes of Bobrisky and Bisi Alimi everyday, but remain lenient on the politicians what embezzle your money everyday. Hypocrisy!

Hello, we can do both together.

stephens2012:
@blackiridis u said something abt d sim 2 slot being an hybrid. Does it can only take either memory card or sim card at a time? Or can it take d two together at once?

It simply means it can either take 2 micro sims OR a micro sim & memory card.

henrygold100:

blackiridis:
no glass screen guard but a normal screen guard is already attached to the screen with a lighter one in the box.
I haven't played heavy games on it. i rarely play my score hero and last man on Earth. yea, na the next one be that

Thanks for the info boss. I have just gotten an alert from jumia that my package is available for pick up at their station. Actually, it has been around since 31st, Oct. That means it took 13 days (weekends included) for it to be delivered to their station (Oct 18th - 31st).

henrygold100:
pls is payment on delivery available for this device. And which seller did u buy urs from jumia

The product is shipped from overseas, so you have to pay online through master card or visa card to get it delivered to you. You can check the sellers rating and choose the most reliable one. I recommend globeromerce though.

ryfoz:

Thanks for the update boss. pls, does it come with glass screen guard? and how smooth is heavy gaming on it?

blackiridis:
before and after 90%

Oga, pls, abeg, biko drop the fist hand review of this phone for us na.

Pls, it has been a long time I have ordered from jumia and they have been saying product is 'waiting for fulfilment' since.

thebosstrevor:
you do not understand the concept of science ,if you do,you wont write what you wrote down.

there are some things that are just nature,science just explain why they are like that

e.g when you throw something up it must come down has been there for many years even before newton

Newton just explain through science why it happens,that made newton discover gravity and form his own laws and no further science can disprove it because it is normal and it is part of nature

Do you think Newton gave us a clear understanding of gravity?What really is gravity? Ever heard of gravitational wave? May I burst your bubble...the science world have not fully comprehend what gravity really entails and its true meaning is still up for debate among top physicists.
Again, I am Not debating nature itself as I can't fully comprehend it, rather, I am debating What we human term the 'law of nature' which is a conjecture based on our observations, experiments, and past experiences. What I am saying in a nutshell is that man is yet to understand ALL about nature and therefore cannot OBJECTIVELY say a phenomenon impossible in nature which he is yet to FULLY grasp...on a side note... I am sure that people in 10 BC will also tell you that it is impossible for a pane to fly since it is against the ' law of nature' at their time.

Akin1212:
Everything about quantum physics is not outside the law of nature. Stop painting science black. Science has drawn a line and it is called speciation. Science is not a clueless practice, it is definite. Nothing has been said in science that has been unsaid, rather things have been unveiled and based on the things known before. If a human and a goat can reproduce successfully, what language will the being speak? You people should manage to use some brain na. There is an impossibility in science, and it sounds so well. Science is the study of the physical world, and it doesn't go beyond that because there is no beyond that anywhere. Even quantum is more physical than you sef

Common man, did I hit a nerve? Why attack me rather than refute my statement? When do you think science began?Ohh.. the 21st century right? Should I start listing previously esteemed scientific theories that have been toppled by new findings? Why do you think Eistein's theory of relativity gain notoriety? How many of once popular Isaac Newton's theories are still standing? Mind you, even quantum theory Pierce right through some of them. Oga, science EVOLVES and Some theories elite scientists and philosophers in the previous centuries proposed are now being slyly adjusted or outrightly refuted...again, Science EVOLVES and will continue to do so until we know ALL about our universe.

thebosstrevor:
you wanna act intelligent but your view point says otherwise,infact you do not understand the concept of science.

the above situation is not about science,it is about law of nature

science just explained why it is impossible

I think we need to make a distinction between Nature itself and what WE term 'the law of nature'. The discovery of quantum particles puncture a hole through what we view as the 'law of nature'. This 'law of nature' is what WE HUMANS have observed overtime from our OWN perspective(and tested to be working) around our environment BUT it doesn't tell us ALL about nature AND there are still many puzzles to be unravelled. Saying an occurrence is impossible does not sound well in the science world as it close the door for further experiments and findings. A true scientist will only tell you that a phenomenon is HIGHLY IMPROBABLE for with the discovering of quantum 'unnatural' properties, the science world has learn better than to dismiss any occurrence as IMPOSSIBLE...on a side note...even as I write, there are top scientists still making research on possibility of pairing a man with a chimpanzee in order to get clear picture of how the ancestor of both primates look like and this is what they have dedicated their lifetime doing... so good luck trying to convince them that it is impossible.

elfiddy:
Woe to them that tithe and still lack and borrow..

Same goes to those that do not tithe yet borrow

Thorhammer:
You see the reason why i said i don't go to church ?? It about the money, no salvation again

This story has been proven to be false and the picture was taken when people were leaving. You see why you shouldn't swallow up lies without making proper findings just because it confirms your narrative about tithe?

ivolt:
The bold part of your text is ironic because children are naturally
gullible and believes almost everything they are told while rational
adults are able to question ridiculous beliefs. In all honesty which
group do you think you belong?



You are right, half-education is what makes an adult promote ridiculous beliefs even
though he knows nothing about it and have no evidence to back up such claims.


Since you are a christian who literally believes that a jewish man died for your sins.
Don't you think you are insulting yourself with this line?


I bet you are the ignorant here, knowledge comes with assurance and applications
while the ignorants wallow in fair and despair. We both know who is in perpetual
fear of innocent "village people".

Oga 'ignorant', you never cease to call people ignorant if they don't agree with your opinion. If you are so 'enlightened', wouldn't it be better if you use that knowledge to make tangible impact in Nigeria and Africa rather than shouting 'ignorant' like an Anthem on every thread?

ivolt:
I see many people exhibiting inferiority complex on this thread while accusing
others of inferiority complex. And many of the pro-superstition arguments
are a textbook examples of false equivalencies.

First, America is a land of absurdities, with a population of 300 million and
strong church influence, you are bound to find enough people who engage
in extreme superstitions.

Just because some white men engage in irrational thinking does not make
such thinking rational! There are a lot of gun violence in the US and extreme
racism in some quarters, yet, it will dumb to use this example as the reason
why high-level of violence and tribalism is okay in another country.

Even at that, witch hunting others for lack of progress is a staple of African
belief. People who abandon or mistreats their old parents or kill their kids because
they are wizards are not in the same league with someone who believes that
luck amulets help them pass exams even though they are both superstitious.

While the former which is the specialty of many Africans, are creating more problems
for society and breeding lazy and dangerous thinkers, the latter is merely a burden
to themselves and most people don't care.

Albinos are under siege in Tanzania because some fools believe that they are ticket
for riches even though the witchdoctors making them "rich" is living in abject
poverty. Even in Nigeria, hunchbacks are being targeted for their "spiritual" value.
While some superstitious graduates believe it is their uncle, stepmother or an hater
that is responsible for their joblessness even though large-scale unemployment
is a natural result of poor governance.

Churches are even championing these absurdities by holding witch hunting programs
blaming "village people", old wicked men for poverty and lack of husbands.

You can worship a stone, devour live snakes, eat red candles and all that, it is your choice, but if
you try to sell such bizarre acts as evidence of witchcraft to others or victimize a set of people
for life misfortunes, you will get shut down by people
who think rationally.

A belief is not sacred because there are believers!

Africa is not backward because of it belief system, rather, it is due to lack of integrity and will of an average African to defend what he believes. An average African can be easily swayed into changing his belief provided you have 'goodies' to shut his mouth and mind.

jhubril:
Let's talk about the volume of efforts by the movie industry to paint a not so correct picture of superstitious beliefs(ie withcraft or wizardry ).

On a philosophical note,it is impossible to explain an abstract concept (without any physical appearance)or form as correct or factual knowledge. Arguably, we can only assume to know a great deal of it. This process is limited in metaphysics and Plato cautioned that we must draw a line of distinction between NUOMENA and PHENOMENA;the former is another word for assumption or what existentialists describe as COLLECTIVE CONSPIRACY,while the latter is, according to Plato,correct or factual knowledge.

Take the case of the cloud,normally it is viewed as a white fleecy substance that changes colour but it is ,as a matter of fact and science,the CONCENTRATION OF RAINDROPS.

Does the belief in withcraft assume the form of accurate knowledge as described above or it is movie producers and public sentiments overstretching the truth?

How did we come about such amount of knowledge and information about an inexplicable entity since we agree that it is an invisible realm(Has anyone conversed or even set his eyes on a witch or a wizard?)

In Africa most cultures consider the bird as the conspicuous symbol for witchcraft. You may have heard or read stories in the dailies or caught on the cameras lending credence to this belief. There are questions to be asked. If true why does withcraft takes as its symbol an object of flight and beauty? Ever seen a beautiful garden home to birds of diverse colours,flying across the lush green grass?

In Africa most people will stone a bird to death on the suspicion of witchcraft. As long as I am not invalidating the belief in it,I am going to have to ask us to prove that our knowledge of witchraft is exact and not an over-egged pudding?

This is written to investigate the undue influence African movies have had on our psyche in their attempt go metaphysical,full swing.

Do you believe in the possibility of aliens in other solar systems?

j1mmy:
They are portrayed as myths and entertainments. These beliefs are dated and today the western world uses them for entertainment and mythical portrayals.

You have to have some commonsense to see it but most Africans are too illiterate to understand the concepts!

On nairaland for example you have to write to most Nigerians like you are educating kids and apes! Sorry!!!

In the science world, the believe in the possibility of aliens in other solar systems is rising stronger everyday even among athiests when none has been physically seen. Can you call them deluded for this believe? So how is that different from a person who believe in the existence of ghost? Oh...maybe because scientists gave theirs fanciful and eye-catching names right? Mind you, There are Cable networks dedicated to ghost activities in the USA and a relatively new course called Witchcraftology is gaining recognition in renown universities in the western world.

OtemSapien:
Lol. If the sheeple can boycott church service for a day too, I guess all pastors in Nigeria will stop disgracing us.

When will you stop being silly and start thinking straight for once?...Expecting the people you want to 'enlighten' to take you serious when you keep calling them sheeple shows how ignorant you are and how you need more of the 'enlightenment' you want them to have.

Op, you can go for Ice 2 with Igig ram and 8gig rom. It is a Japanese phone and you know how strong their products are. It sells within the range of N12000 - N15000. You can order from Jumia for N13000.

OtemSapien:
Have you checked for the figurative meaning of a sheep in the dictionary. It means a stupid person.
In other word, the person who wrote that passage of the bible meant to say 'A stupid person hears my voice and obey.'
Hmm.

Can you see how silly you sound? A 'sheep' was known as an animal before the dictionary came to be. The meaning of words changes with time. A sheep then was known to be meek and gentle. It wasn't long ago that the word stupid was used for sheep and that doesn't make the statement of people using sheep as a symbol of gentleness wrong.

TheManOfTheYear:
lol ogbeni.. Nothing like uniben certificate ooo.
Because the course he'll be studying :might not in anyway affiliated with Uniben.

FCET Akoka offers NCE not BSc.

Bro, you are wrong...Akoka now runs a bachelor's degree as affiliate to Uniben but only for Education courses. Infact, I have friends who are in their 400 level there. The major cons there is their 'expensive' school fee. Pls, be sure of what you give out as information next time because it may go a long way to influence people to make wrong decision if it turns out to be false.

TheManOfTheYear:
carry wetin??

Yes,

oruma19:
yes he is a prophet to his immediate family and those who believe in his message. Are u not also a prophet? Somehow we all are sent for certain purposes. Let's not quarrel over it, freeze may sound contradictory most times but 90% of what he says is true

Wait... don't get me wrong, I am not against Freeze criticism but I expect him to do beyond that if indeed he really want to help others.

BluntBoy:
Why are you overly obsessed with the bold line. This argument is not about prophesy but criticism. Jesus and John the Baptist were critical of the religious leaders. The Apostles, including Paul, were critical of false teachers. Freeze is critical of false teachings. This has nothing to do with anybody being foremost a prophet. Elijah was a prophet but that was not the argument. If you can deny that Elijah was critical of Ahab, then you can have a valid argument with me. But all this unnecessary elongation of a very simple matter is not only tiring but also very annoying.

Did l hit a nerve there? ...Mind you, you can't just pick up one character ( criticism in this case) to compare two people and tell the world that they are alike while leaving out the other glaring characters that clearly set them apart from each other. It is like saying Jesus Christ is no different from other humans because he was also born by a woman as others. Yes, all men criticise and it is not even a bad thing to do in itself But placing Freeze in the same breadth as those men you mentioned up there just because he criticise doesn't cut it at all. Again, when Freeze begins to help the 'sheepies' rather than is usual cynicism, I will take him serious.
Note: I don't support all new generation pastors either
