PoliticsRe: In His Own Words: How Awolowo Defended Himself From Achebe’s Accusations When He by ektbear: 12:04am On Oct 30, 2012
ACM10: 1. You claimed that Biafran currency was useless and valueless. Then I asked you "on what ground did you make such claim?"

2. I asked you to list the economic indices which economists use to determine the strength of any currency. You could not mention any. You only opined that the strength of currency is determined by the forces of demand and supply.

Etc
So, your best bet is to carefully read the two posts made. Like I said earlier, take as much time as you need to digest the point. Then once you finish, come up with a suitable response, quoting as needed.

van bonattel: I was the doctor who treated your nut case, and gave you a laptop to browse on saturday night, the kind, fair doctor remember? grin
Indeed, I remember that this is the story you told the other residents of the asylum.

And shortly after telling that story about being a doctor, you'd go frothing at the mouth like a mad dog and have to be forcibly sedated grin cheesy

ACM10: Don't get emotional my dear. There is no medal to be won here. I will like to have the points which u raised. Can you list them. List them while I review the thread from where I stopped. But you have to be ready to address my points too.
Sure, just examine the last two posts I made to you before you vanished. Take as much time as you need.

I carefully observed your own escape, then immediately after planned my own. You served as an inspiration to many.

What you have tolerance for is irrelevant, in my eyes.

Simply address the points raised. Put up, or shut up.

The thread has been bumped. Let us have a response there, one that addresses the posts you ran away from.....

ACM10: I'm occupied at the moment. Will be back later. . .
Is it "later" yet?
PoliticsRe: David Mark’s Neo-Zikist intentions by ektbear: 11:36pm On Oct 29, 2012
ACM10: Any intelligent contribution? I get bored easily with pointless comments. If you sincerely believe that I was beaten mercilessly; what prevents you from re-enacting the feat here? I don't chest-thump! I only bow to superior argument. I'm waiting. . .
When I beat someone once, assuming that they concede, I usually let them be.

However, given that you are recycling the same arguments again, I will bump that thread again and give you a chance to respond.

LordAdam: These two spoiled brats that unfortunately are brothers would not let us rest. Would the world not have been a better place if either Ishmael or Isaac or both of them did not exist? Systematically, we can trace 80% of the world's present calamities to the descendants of these brothers.

Just a picture, Ishmael's descendants are responsible for the terrorism that has stolen away our fundamental human rights of privacy, while the Isrealis gave the British rebels(Americans), the leash to become world powers so they could unjustly take what is historically theirs. So wait, why are the native indians stuck in wyoming, dakota and other places in the US when the whole land is historically theirs?

Hitler was of Jewish descent, so was Einstein whose relativity theory has made sure we all can't sleep without our eyes close, so we do not hear that a rogue president has started a nuke war. And what about the rotschilds and a couple of powerful Isreali families that have held the world's economy at a standstill.

By the gods, all this is sickening, history is a prick, for not making it any easier for people to learn from her vast resources.
1. America's rise had nothing to do with Israel or Jews, really
2. Blaming Hitler on Jews is like blaming a person for getting ra@ped and then murdered by armed robbers
3. Relativity would probably have been discovered sooner or later
PoliticsRe: David Mark’s Neo-Zikist intentions by ektbear: 11:13pm On Oct 29, 2012
The post is highly relevant. He was beaten mercilessly on this thread (https://www.nairaland.com/1068292/own-words-how-awolowo-defended/2), and ran away.

Now he is resurfacing on a new thread, recycling his same shoddy logic and poor reasoning that have already been debunked.

So, my questions are as follows:
1) Why is Kats wasting his time talking to this guy
2) Why is this guy wasting the time of others by regurgitating flawed reasoning? What useful purpose does that serve?
3) Shouldn't any reasonable person be ashamed by ACM10's cowardly and dishonest behavior?
PoliticsRe: The Scandal Of Census Figures by ektbear: 11:06pm On Oct 29, 2012
sheyguy: Without wives can female children be concieved under a well structured family cycle system? Its like eggs and chickens. We are probably both right and both wrong depending on which one existed first - Adam and Eve story.
No, think about it this way.

On Island 1 (northern nigeria), there are 100 women and 100 men. But the most powerful man takes all the women for himself. So 99 guys are without women.

On Island 2 (southern Nigeria), every man gets 1 woman each.

Would we then say that Island 1 will necessarily have a higher population growth rate than Island 2? Of course not...the size of the second generation of people on both Island 1 and Island 2 is purely the number of kids each woman has. This is pretty much just math. The fact that a woman shares her husband doesn't necessarily mean that her fertility will increase. At least, this isn't something one should assume...you'd need some sort of additional evidence to back it up.

Anyway, my point is, whether in Northern Nigeria they marry 4 wives or only 1, it doesn't increase the number of women available (at least, assuming women aren't being imported into Northern Nigeria or something en masse.)
PoliticsRe: I Support The Creation Of Ijebu State - Senator David Mark by ektbear: 10:50pm On Oct 29, 2012
David Mark is actually a very confused man.

Additional state creation makes very little sense.

Empower LGs relative to states and FG if you like...that is a better approach.
PoliticsRe: The Scandal Of Census Figures by ektbear: 10:48pm On Oct 29, 2012
It isn't really the # of wives you marry that is important. It is female fertility...# of children a woman has over her lifetime.

After all, if a northern man has 4 wives, that means that his brothers are going without (well, temporarily ignoring a minor effect that I don't think is so relevant).
PoliticsRe: David Mark’s Neo-Zikist intentions by ektbear: 10:45pm On Oct 29, 2012
Is this the same ACM10 who failed utterly in the previous thread? The guy who ran away from it after being beaten mercilessly?

ACM10: Shouldn't you feel ashamed to be opening your mouth again?

wtf is this

I realize that for the OP and many others of you, English was not the language you spoke as a child. So certain things that native speakers take for granted (such as knowing what the difference between quoted text and non-quoted text is) you struggle with.

However, rather than displaying your ignorance, why not simply ask more knowledgeable people to explain ?

EducationRe: Maths Tricks, Questions And Brain Teasers by ektbear: 12:43pm On Oct 29, 2012
Hmm. OK, so I'll give away the answer? Or rather give a hint that basically tells you the answer.

What happens if we merge the two days? Pretend that is an identical old man walking down the hill Monday at 9am?
EducationRe: Maths Tricks, Questions And Brain Teasers by ektbear: 11:05am On Oct 29, 2012
[quote author=some-girl]Let's say the journey to the hill top takes a total of 2 hrs
Assuming he walks at the same speed all the way to and fro.

At 10am on Monday and Tuesday, he'd be halfway between the his home and the hill top.[/quote]OK. So what if:
a) His speed is not constant. Say he is accelerating at 1 meter/second^2 or something.
b) he doesn't walk at the same speed going up the hill as down the hill. So pretend he goes up the hill with velocity 1 m/s, but down the hill with velocity 2 m/s.

What then? Is it still true that there is some time at which he is at the same spot on both days?

You are on the right track though...push it further and see if you can generalize.

purplekayc: Is this math? undecided or quantitative reasoning?
When I solved the problem, I did so using math. But you can actually solve it using elementary reasoning too.

The thing that somewhat annoys is me is, wetin concern Iran, Sudan etc with Israel?

Why are they so keen on seeing Israel fall sef?

They don't share any borders with the country. Doesn't Sudan have more pressing issues to face?

This is the problem with Islamist thinking. Rather than facing problems in your own country, you will be fighting battles somewhere in the middle east against Israel, a country that has nothing to do with you.
