3Dimension: Nigeria curious birth stories.

1. A baby born with bible/quran.

2. A baby born with inscription on his/her hand or ear.

3. A baby born with abortion pills in his hand and smilling.

4. A sheep gives birth to a human-goat like lamb.

Where did you hear a baby born with bible?

IGBOSON1: ....I've always said it that Nigerian Doctors, Nurses and other medical personnel are mainly materialistic, greedy, arrogant and short-tempered little hitlers, and are in it just for the money......

You did not describe The Nigerian Doctors and Nurses, you have only just described the greater population of Nigerians including yourself.

Nigeria has an institutional problem. Let us find the way to mend our institutions rather than conveniently throwing blames at individuals and groups.

felixchip: Banners: They're usually A3 & A2

Thanks a lot.

Pls, what are the various sizes (dimensions) of flex/banner commonly used in Nigeria for publicity of small businesses and church programmes? Pls, those in the printing business I need ur help. Thanks.

Pls guy, how much will it cost to print about a thousand copies of flyers (3 colors with picture) in Lagos, Mushin especially? How much will a small flex cost as well?

Have you had to treat a child of about. 8yrs for whooping cough? Which antibiotics would be right for treatment. Are there other home remedies you could recommend? Thanks.

olamide1: $5 per pounds, we use pounds here not kg

Are there no other charges involved, like handling fees and other percentage charges made on the total transaction cost?

There are many pieces of evidence about which I
could write; here I choose one: The Second Law of
Thermodynamics. A formal definition of The Second
Law of Thermodynamics is: “In any closed system, a
process proceeds in a direction such that the
unavailable energy (the entropy) increases.” In
other words, in any closed system, the amount of
disorder always increases with time. Things
progress naturally from order to disorder, or from
an available energy state to one where energy is
more unavailable. A good example: a hot cup of
coffee cools off in an insulated room. The total
amount of energy in the room remains the same
(which satisfies the first law of thermodynamics).
Energy is not lost, it is simply transferred (in the
form of heat) from the hot coffee to the cool air,
warming up the air slightly. When the coffee is hot,
there is available energy because of the
temperature difference between the coffee and the
air. As the coffee cools down, the available energy is
slowly turned to unavailable energy. At last, when
the coffee is room temperature, there is no
temperature difference between the coffee and the
air, i.e., the energy is in an unavailable state. The
closed system (consisting of the room and the
coffee) has suffered what is technically called a
“heat death.” The system is “dead” because no
further work can be done, since there is no more
available energy. The second law says that the
reverse cannot happen! Room temperature coffee
will not get hot all by itself, because this would
require turning unavailable energy into available
energy.

Now consider the entire universe as one giant
closed system. Stars are hot, just like the cup of
coffee, and are cooling down, losing energy into
space. The hot stars in cooler space represent a
state of available energy, just like the hot coffee in
the room. However, The Second Law of
Thermodynamics requires that this available energy
constantly change to unavailable energy. In another
analogy, the entire universe is winding down like a
giant wind-up clock, ticking down and losing
available energy. Since energy is continually
changing from available to unavailable, someone
had to give it available energy in the beginning! (In
other words, someone had to wind up the clock of
the universe at the beginning.) Who or what could
have produced energy in an available state in the
first place? Only someone or something not bound
by The Second Law of Thermodynamics. Only the
Creator of The Second Law of Thermodynamics
could violate it and create energy in a state of
availability in the first place.

As time goes forward (assuming things continue as
they are), the available energy in the universe will
eventually turn into unavailable energy. At this
point, the universe will be said to have suffered a
heat death, just like the coffee in the room. The
present universe, as we know it, cannot last forever.
Furthermore, imagine going backwards in time.
Since the energy of the universe is constantly
changing from a state of availability to one of less
availability, the further back in time one goes, the
more available the energy of the universe. Using the
clock analogy again, the further back in time, the
more wound up the clock. Far enough back in time,
the clock was completely wound up. The universe
therefore cannot be infinitely old. One can only
conclude that the universe had a beginning, and
that beginning had to have been caused by
someone or something operating outside of the
known laws of thermodynamics. Is this scientific
proof for the existence of a creator God? I think so.
Evolutionary theories of the universe cannot
counteract the above arguments for the existence
of God.

Like all evolutionists, Darwin had to assume the
truth of the Bible in order to argue against the truth
of the Bible.
Evolutionists often attempt to use observational
science—arguments from biology, paleontology,
geology, or even astronomy—to support their
belief. But the really interesting thing is that they
base all their arguments on principles that
ultimately come from biblical creation! As strange
as it may sound, evolutionists must unwittingly
assume that creation is true in order to argue
against it. That means that Darwin was (in a sense)
a “creationist.” All evolutionists must borrow the
principles of biblical creation in order to do science
(even though they would deny this). Here is why.

The Bible Provides the Foundation
for an Orderly Universe

To do science, certain things must be true. The
universe must be logical and have some
organization to it. Moreover, the human mind must
be capable of rational thought—capable of
considering the various alternatives and then
choosing the best. But if evolution were true, then
we would have no reason to expect either of these
conditions. If this world were nothing but a cosmic
accident, if our brains were nothing but rearranged
pond scum, then why would they be able to
understand the universe?
On the other hand, a biblical creationist has every
reason to expect scientific inquiry to be possible.
The Bible teaches that God made the universe and
the human mind, so we would expect these two
things to “go together.” Moreover, since God gave
Adam the responsibility to care for creation, it
makes sense that He would have given Adam the
ability to understand the natural world.

The Bible Is the Foundation for
Logic

Logical reasoning itself only makes sense in a
biblical worldview. To make a logical argument
about anything, we have to use laws of logic. But if
the universe is just matter in motion (as many
evolutionists believe), laws of logic wouldn’t exist
since laws of logic are not made of matter. Laws of
logic are “rules” that help us distinguish correct
from incorrect forms of reasoning. But in an
evolutionary universe, why should there be a
standard for reasoning, and who is to say what that
standard is? How could we ever really know for
certain the laws of logic?
In the biblical creation worldview, however, laws of
logic make sense. They reflect the thinking of God
who upholds the entire universe by His power. God
is our standard for correct thinking because all
truth is in Him. We can know about laws of logic
because God has made us in His image and has
revealed some of His thoughts to us in His Word.
We can expect laws of logic to be universally true
and never change because they stem from the
nature of God. So, when evolutionists such as
Charles Darwin attempt to use science and logic,
they reveal the fact that in their heart of hearts they
know the God of creation.

The Bible Makes Sense of Rules of
Behavior

Additionally, evolutionists believe in a moral code: a
standard for how we should think and behave. But
the idea of a moral code goes back to biblical
creation. Since God has created us, He has the right
to set the rules of behavior. In fact, the Bible tells us
that the law is written on our hearts. However, if
people were just complex chemicals and our
decisions were just chemical reactions, then people
wouldn’t have any genuine choice in what they do. If
we were not created by God, then any moral code
invented by people would just be arbitrary opinion.
This doesn’t mean that evolutionists don’t act
morally, but those who reject biblical creation have
no ultimate basis for their morality. So when
evolutionists tell us how to think or behave, they are
acting as if they believe in creation. Their actions
reveal that they embrace an objective moral code,
even though they have no basis for it in their
professed worldview.
The fact that evolutionists believe in science,
rationality, and morality is inconsistent with their
professed belief in evolution. This shows that in
their hearts, they really know the God whose Word
they are attacking, even though they verbally deny
this. They “suppress” the truth, as the Scripture
teaches (Romans 1:18–25).

From Darwin to Dawkins, all evolutionists have
relied upon their suppressed knowledge of the God
of creation—as evidenced by their belief in science,
logic, and morality. As a result of their failure to
honor God or thank Him, their thinking is reduced
to futile speculations (Romans 1:21).
The notion of particles-to-people evolution is just
one example of mankind’s speculations. But people
cannot consistently function rationally with such a
futile way of thinking. In their effort to construct
arguments against biblical creation, evolutionists
must unwittingly rely on the concepts that can come
only from biblical creation.
All knowledge is in Christ (Colossians 2:3). So
anyone who wants to be consistently rational and
scientific must submit to Him first (Proverbs 1:7).
Christians who understand and embrace this truth
have a powerful tool for defending the Christian
faith and reaching the unsaved with the gospel.
The next time someone tries to condemn the
biblical view of origins using arguments from
biology or other sciences, just remind him that
scientific arguments make consistent, logical sense
only when reality is understood from a biblical
worldview, beginning with creation. Equipped with
this powerful apologetics method, you can point out
how all evolutionists must, in reality, assume that
creation is true in order to attempt to logically
argue against it.
Beginning your discussions on the Scripture’s
authority, you will stand on solid ground (Matthew
7:24–29).

A debate over biblical creation is a lot like a
debate over the existence of air. Can you
imagine two people debating whether or not
air exists? What would the critic of air say?
Whatever his arguments, he would have to use
air in order to make them. Not only is air
crucial to the survival of the critic, but air
would have to exist in order for his arguments
to be heard and understood . . . . In order for
the critic of air to be able to make an
argument, it would have to be wrong.
Likewise, the evolutionist must use biblical
creation principles in order to argue against
biblical creation. In order for his argument to
make sense, it would have to be wrong.
Ironically, the fact that evolutionists are able to
argue against creation proves that creation is
true!
The three paragraphs above are an excerpt from
my latest book, The Ultimate Proof of Creation (with
foreword by Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis
president). With the arguments presented in this
new book, I demonstrate that biblical creation
absolutely must be true because it is a prerequisite
for knowledge and science. That is, if creation were
not true, science (or knowledge about anything
whatsoever) would be impossible. For example:
Orderly, mathematical laws of nature that
describe the consistent clockwork operation of
the universe are exactly what we would expect
given that Christ upholds all things by the Word
of His power (Hebrews 1:3). If the universe
were really the chance product of a big bang,
then why would it obey laws?
The fact that the human mind is capable of
rational thought and that our senses can
reliably probe the universe makes sense given
that God created the human mind and sensory
organs (Genesis 1:27; Proverbs 20:12).
An absolute, universal moral code by which we
have knowledge of right and wrong only makes
sense if there is a sovereign God who has
created rules for us, and to whom we are
accountable.
A lot of creationists are under the mistaken
impression that evolutionists would believe in
creation if they simply had more “evidence.” But the
Bible tells us that people already have enough
evidence of the God of creation. Romans 1:19–20
makes this clear: “because that which is known
about God is evident within them; for God made it
evident to them. . . . so that they are without
excuse.”
The key to defending the Christian faith—and
sharing it with others—is to realize that the
unbeliever already “knows” God, but has
suppressed what he knows to be true. He denies
with his lips what he knows in his heart. We can
expose this suppressed knowledge of God by
pointing out that the unbeliever unwittingly relies
on creation principles when he attempts to reason
or uses science or makes moral judgments.
Like the “critic of air,” the unbeliever relies on the
God of creation to argue against the God of
creation. While we cannot cover everything in a
short article like this (such as how to counter
possible criticisms of the above argument), The
Ultimate Proof of Creation gives readers an
absolutely irrefutable argument for the Christian
worldview.

Enlightening.

There are just a few persons who does not hide from the truth such as this OP, especially on the issues of Islamic and muslim affairs.

Every attitude being described here is simply basic Human Nature. There is always a deep sense of solidarity toward who or what one perceives as his kind, not minding if that kind does right or wrong. What kills me about most muslims I meet (especially the ones I see here on NL) is the continual attempt to deny these basic human nature. They would rather choose to see the pointing out of these fundamental facts as an attack on Islam and muslims. So very few persons are willing, have the courage or even see it necessary to examine and re-examine themselves; human nature still I guess.

Basic human nature is no respecter of religion, tribe or affiliations. It simply respects a sound and understanding mind. So, let us deal with these problems by first of all having a sound understanding of what the problems really are.

Following.

CityNG: And then when they get caught circumnavigating eBays policy that they agreed to then they'll blame it on Yahoo boys.

How is using a US shipping address circumnavigating ebay policy?

tonjeola: the seller tag it $20 to Nigeria

I see. Thanks bro. Pls, can you help me with an estimated (average) cost of shipping a piece of phone (average weight) through one of these forwarders?

legalwealth: All depends on the forwarding agent you are using and also the courier used.
Kindly checkout shipping fee based on kg/lb from your shipping agent.

Best!

Thanks a lot legalwealth (love your username by the way). I have done some research on some forwarders (I've not made a choice yet), they quote an average of $4.5/lb. Pls, from your experience, are there other charges that may be added to these rates (maybe on packaging or other transit costs) that are not usually stated at first? For instance, if I want to ship in a product of exactly 1lb, do I get to pay just that $4.5 and nothing else?

tonjeola: yes $20 to ship to Lagos. the rate depends on your bank

Thanks for the response. I am actually asking about the shipping rate sir (per kg/ per lb).

tonjeola: YES,alway check that. like a blackberry seller, who accept to ship worldwide, wen i check with direct shipping to Nigeria, is $20 while to US address is $6, but remember, ur third party agent will charge u $20 to Lagos, so judge it.

is this an just an illustration or do you really mean that it will cost just about $20 to ship a piece of phone to Lagos? Pls, at what rate is this done sir? Thanks, it's really important to me.

legalwealth: I'm sure you got my message.
Taking for example,I won a bid for a chandelier and it was shipped to my USA address for free and it got there broken which I was alerted of.
Immediately,I returned the item just spending $7 for repackaging and I was refunded my $152.

What do you think the case must have been assuming the seller shipped directly to me in Nigeria.That aside,those consolidating my items in USA before being forwarded to me via DHL here in Nigeria are experts that know how to pack anything securely.

I got my new year laptop worth over $1,400,my S4,S5 and many other fragile goods and items which they shipped to me without any breakages or problem right to my door-step in Nigeria.That way,ones items are highly secure also in the sense that you can pay for insurance on your good if you see it neccessary.

In conclusion,I suggest Nigerians should follow the normal way for the main time everything will be okay.

it's much clearer to me now. Thanks a lot bro, you've very helpful.

legalwealth: It depends though but there are enough free shipping to USA address.You must also consider the time it will take to get to you and as well the security of your item.

Consolidating items to be shipped and shipped securely I think is the best.

I would assume then that it's best to get the seller to ship for free to a shipping company of your preference first. This could mean cheaper shipping and more security for you goods.

legalwealth: Do you operate Internet Banking with them?
I don't use Diamond bank but I'm sure someone that must have used the same card will reply you soon.

You can as well tell customer care to help look into the details of the transaction very well for the code since
they can access bank end.

pls can you help me and the guy just above. I need the same info he is asking for.

45 views and not one reply! Wonder. Does this mean nobody here has shopped on ebay with Nigerian paypal yet?

Is it possible to add a US address along with my original Nigerian address in my paypal account, and then mark it as my shipping address at ebay check-out? I'm aware most merchants do not ship directly to Nigeria. How do I go around this? Pls I need help. Thanks.

Mattin: I have 1k on my phone and I have been trying to subscribe for "Comont" to 777, I dialed *777*21#, send BBCmonth to 777 but none of them is going!
Abeg help me guys and mguru...

how do you know they are not going? What message are you getting?

How much last are u selling the s4 and s5 respectively?

?

Pls I would like to get one of these phones. I can only afford the fairly used for now. How much do you think I can get either of them? The least possible amount pls. Thanks. I mean samsung galaxy s4 and s5. Pls watsapp me: 08173326868 or BBM: 27D349AE if you have any one for sale.

akeemstunna: get it on www.tubidy.com

Search by typing the name with the word 'instrumental' and u will find it .

my brother, thanks a million. It is guy like you that still keep me on NL.

Is there a site out there I can get a high quality mp3 instrumental only version of john legend's ''all of me'' for free download?

Pls help me with one or more. Thanks.
