It is very true, I also heard it from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from someone ..................................................................... who heard it from someone who heard it from someone that was there.``

ambanjoson: no mind d woman she no plan d testimony well .

Very funny. But to be fair to the lady she knew her audience quite well. Given a choice between fact and fiction, they will go for fiction every time.

So back to the initial question, does anybody think that Nigeria needs a space program at this time?

Zikdik: Honestly? How many female atheists have you met around here?

Maybe in Nigeria they are few and far between, but in Europe they are quite common.

Airforce1: What's dis one saying

It doesn't surprise me that you cannot make sense out of what I said.

Most ladies use the description 'God fearing man' as a proxy for a man that is compassionate, caring, purpose driven, and with strong family values. If you can demonstrate that you have these qualities and above all, that you are quite able to provide for the family, you will be fine with them.
They just want assurance that after marriage you will not turn them to your personal punching bag, be sleeping around town like a dog while neglecting the needs kf the family.
I know many ppeople who are not God fearing but have an ambudance of these good decent qualities and are married to christian women.
The sad thing is that there are many bible thumping born again christians that routinely beat their wives and sleep with other women while being active in their church.

Lack of critical reasoning has made nigerians to become one of the most credulous people on earth.
Tell a nigerian adult a fantastic tale that a child in europe would find hard to believe, the nigerian adult will accept it as fact. It is almost as if the average nigerian lives in Tolkien's middle earth from lord of the rings where witches and gobblins are as real as doctors and engineers.

Nigeria needs to develop its industrial base and rebuild basic infrastructure before talking of a viable space program. As a nation we struggle to generate enough electricity to meet 30% of our already very low demand, I don't think space should be our problem at this time.
The way I see it space is the product of a good industrial and scientific knowledge base, and not the other way around.

Some days ago I dropped a big one in the toilet that looked like pastor Oyedepor. It kind of surprised me to see something as disgusting as that in my toilet bowl having a remarkable likeness of our pastor, so I attempted to flushed it, but come see me see trouble o! E no gree flush. Na one of those unflushables that can sometime be embarrassing, especially when it happens in a house that you are visiting. So after like the seventh attempt and with a little assistance, the thing come decide to go.
Later that same day, I was having a stroll in the evening when I came across a bunch of guys admiring a pattern on the ground, it looked like Daddy G.O Adeboye. I asked them who made the pattern, and they gave me an unlikely reply. It was a dog that peed on the spot, and when the pee dried off, it left a remarkable silhouette of Daddy G.O Adeboye.
The reason for narrating my experience is to let all the doubters know that anything is possible, the image in question may very well be an angel.

I am very sure that sooner or later someone will expose these crooks for who they really are.

I find it very funny when some nameless members of Oyedepo's church proudly claim that their church owns a few private jets as though it were a collective ownership.

nora544: In nigeria is all possible sorry and it is very easy to get it.

I agree with you, but brother Jo would rather pretend not to know how easy it is to forge documents in Nigeria.

Joagbaje: Can you forge a certificate with the name of a known hospital especially government hospital? Won't you go to jail?

What is your take on the second and third method I described?

I thought guys in the Pentecostal business are at liberty to award themselves whichever title that catches their fancy. So what's the big deal? He can even choose to be ordained as pope of his business.

larrymoore: My street is just about 500miles long, there are 6 churches there two are of the same denomination occupying different buildings. To me, salvations is not just everywhere.

I am sure you meant 500 meters, even then i would say your street is long. you make an excellent point

That piece of paper is no proof that the young lad had HIV or was ever cured of the disease. There are a whole bunch of ways to pull a scam like that.
The easiest is to forge the certificate, all you need for that is a computer with an appropriate software and a printer. Another way is to pay a medical lab to falsify the tests. But the most ingenious way that one can use in fooling reputable testing centres is to use a HIV +ve patient to run a test using the name of the HIV -ve person that would be giving the testimony.
These guys are all scam artist preying on the gullible.

I find it somewhat strange that this young man is not on facebook.

Nothing happened because nothing was supposed to happen, it's just a bunch of fairy tales that they use in scaring little children, but somehow our African adults are reluctant to let go of childish fears.
Was it not Oyedepo that cursed Boko Haram? Did anything happen? No

3Dimension: @ OP u already hv the answer.
After u gave a gud answer in ur previous post u then crown it with this?

Are u not a product of the education system how come u know this [i] basic [i] thing?

Nigerian educational system like many other aspect of the country has failed not because it doesn't provide a measure of service, but because it doesn't provide enough of it to be fit for purpose. Our country is poor even though we have some rich people, our roads are bad even though you can still point to some good stretch of roads, PHCN cannot be relied upon even though they can still sometimes surprise you with a spell of 24hr light.
I hope you see the picture now. The failure of our educational system doesn't mean that a few people from the system will not understand basic science, rather it means those who are able to understand basic science are now seen as science nerds.
I think I have made my reasons clear enough for what I said in the post you quoted and I still stand by it.

Islam is not misunderstood. Its just a whacked up religion

Let us share our experience of what last year Shilo "Double Portion" failed to produce that you are hoping to get in "Exceeding Grace".

Mynd_44: And now for him to admit that he does not know, he is wrong. Or perhaps, he was more interested in arts while the teacher was busy babbling and that makes the whole education sector a failure? If the sector failed, how come some know it?

Now he has admitted that he does not and he wants to understand and you find nothing better to do but show you backside. You are worse. Hypocrisy at the peak.

Had the op asked the question without trying to justify his ignorance i would not have reacted the way i did.
I was not being hypocritical, just showing my dislike for the celebration of mediocrity our society has become used to.

Area_boy: You have no idea how old the OP is and the first thing you run out with is educational system without answering the question..

Since you are educated. Please tell me why the earth is Spherical.. aka "round"

The op implied that it takes being a science nerd to understand such a simple concept, that was why I responded the way I did. Moreover, I did answer the op with the use of a very simple illustration in my first reply.

Mynd_44: Read the first sentence of the OP's question

I have and therein lies the problem, to think that one has to be a science nerd to understand basic science. It is just like saying you don't know how to add fractions because you are not a math enthusiast.
The concept of gravitational force is well understood by primary school kids in many other countries.

mumumugu: I live under the earth

You no fit live underneath the earth, you will be crushed under its weight
Neither can you live on its surface because you will fall off.
But you can live inside where it is warm and you wont be crushed by its weight neither would you fall off into space. .

Mynd_44: Your silliness is colossal

Why don't you address the point I made about our educational system instead of just opening your mouth to say rubbish? You must be living in denial if you think what I said is silly.

You can put the blame on our educational system for not knowing something so basic.

Think of the earth as a powerful magnetic soccer ball and everything on its surface as tiny iron nails. Do you think the nails would fall off from the ball of magnet if placed at the bottom end?
Gravity is just like magnetic force in the sense that it causes objects to be attracted to each other. So going back to the magnetic ball analogy, imagine a tiny robot trying to escape from the ball by jumping away from it. What do you think will happen if it does not jump very far? The magnet will pull it back to its surface again.
That is what happen when we try to jump away from the earth, we get pulled back to its surface.

Last year it was double portion, this year it is exceeding grace, and next year could be the great harvest. Why does it just sound like the same repackaged bull crap?
It seems to me that church business is very much like drug business. In the church you have the pastor getting rich from selling worthless feel good sermons to throngs of desperate faithfuls, and in drug business the dealers also get rich from selling euphoria to the users.
Without the users and the faithfuls, there can be no rich and powerful man of God/dealer.

Kamsy10: So his own bad belle won't kill him. Instead it will kill those that reply him abi.

Na so you fear your ashawo sorry pastor reach? You better pray for him to give his life to Christ ASAP

No mind the guy, he must be a certified mumu

As a christian I believe point number 2 is correct, God declares something as good because it is good. However the bible acknowledges that due to mans limited understanding, it does not belong to man to decide what is good from what is bad. What we might consider as good because of its immediate benefits may prove not to be so good after a while.

Look at technology for example, it has certainly made our lives more comfortable than ever before, raising standard of living and has fueled an exponential growth of the human population from just under two billion at the dawn of the industrial age to more that seven billion humans in a couple of hundred years.To put that in perspective, it took us (humans) thousands of years to get to the two billion mark.
Though many people still can not see it, but the same technology that has been good to us is also proving to be the greatest threat to our continued existence as a specie on earth. It is helping us damage our biosphere, accelerating the depletion of vital resources required for our modern life that if left unchecked will lead to an irreversible collapse.
Due to our shortsightedness, we are unable to see beyond the horizon of our choices, as such we can only place relative value on things and not absolute.

This is just sad
