When it comes to speed limit rules on highways, majority of people think it's a figure that the FRSC just wakes up one day and decided to chose just to reduce overspeeding on the roads. Nigeria as a case study has been using highway speed limit of 100Km/h for years now.

In fact some people think our highway speed limit has a lot to do with the road surface or our road surface is one of the factor that 100Km/h speed limit is suggested. Meanwhile, it is a pure misconception.

The truth is, in road design, there is what we call PROFILES design/Vertical Alignment. At the stage of generating your profile, there is a space where the SPEED LIMIT of the road is specified at various chainage especially where vertical curve: Sag or Crest occurs for the Finished Ground. Which means, the highway speed limit is part of the road design.

In short, most Nigeria highways were designed based on 100Km/h speed limit. So, if you're a type who drives and think your car is in good conditions to speed above 100Km/h, note that you're not just risking your life but you're also going against the design protocol of the road itself.

Just as your car was designed to run on petrol and you dare not try to put kerosene to avoid damages, so also the road itself was designed with 100km/h and don't dare to go beyond to avoid lost of life and car damages.

Ashamed of myself for saying my observation about kids

Don't mind egbon Seun, I don't know when personal observation becomes a problem as if he never had any before.

@OP, Children can get scared of anything even something an adult will consider meaningless.

But the truth is, saying we are all born Atheist is the most ridiculous thing any Atheist can come up with because children as they are known for are all operating in a realm that is far beyond any mature mind to comprehend.

The funny and most interesting part is even children don't know any think like Atheist do exist.

Hello, Nairlanders, for some times now, I have been itching to ask this question. The difference between being a Christian and a Born Again Christian.
Often times, I hear people ask me, Are you a Christian? My answer of course Yes!! , then they will proceed, are you a Born Again Christian? Sometimes, when I say Yes.. They will be like.....Are you sure??

Personally, I think Christianity is not just a religion but a way of life... Which one is now Born Again Christian?

I need explanation pls and you can as well quote the scripture.


Thanks

I

What you failed to realise is the context of how the question being asked.

For instance, in Nigeria today, once a person's name is Emmanuel, John, Deborah, Andrew e.t.c the general belief is that the person is a Christian or if you live in the northern part of Nigeria but you can't recite Qur'an, it means you're a Christian.

So the whole thing boiled down to; being associated with the name Christianity and being actually practiced Christianity (that is following the foot step of our Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus)

The question can be rephrased this way. Do you just associate with the name Christianity or you're actually practicing Christianity?

It's unfortunate that majority of today's Christians are associate Christian.

Shalom!

Tournel:
I'm not the one bringing in weightlessness, it's you questioning me on weightlessness and I'm answering you.

Yeah but not confusing it with losing one's weight.

For your first question, please go back and learn maths, then remember that gravitational force is inversely proportional to distance

Maths So if gravitational force is inversely proportional to distance, do you realise that Sun's gravity bypassed the Earth to control other planets? Does earth not close to the Sun than other planets like Jupiter?

Now, this your last statement is where you should think deeply about gravity

then your second question, go and read about centrifugal force.[quote]Are you saying centrifugal force can and always over power every forces

[quote]Oh! and remember that when two forces pull on something, the stronger one will win

So, if two forces pull on something, AND the stronger one won according to you.

Which gravity then do we supposed to be experienced on earth. I hope you realised how huge the Sun gravity is.

To me what causes falling on any body is the atmospheric weight.

OUR MARCH 11TH LOVE STORY_
February 14th may be accepted globally as a day of love, but for us, March 11th is bae. I first met her (Ogechi) on March 10th 2015 while working as a business developer / project manager in a software/IT firm in Asaba. She was scheduled for JAMB UTME exam in my company's IT Computer Based Testing facility on that day. While I was busy attending to our network engineers (who were trying setup the computers for the exams), a colleague required my attention outside. "Jim, come see this 'USB', this one na your specs o". USB (flash drive) was a slang we used for slim and portable beautiful ladies while Coke bottle was for big and very curvy ladies. Just like a normal guy would respond, I rushed out of the hall to see this "USB". I was attracted immediately (which was unlike me, but there was something special about this one). Shortly she joined the screening queue and soon entered the hall. Come and see me behaving like a "private invigilator" in the hall. I chose a spot to stand (right behind her). I was trying to spy her name on the screen. Finally i saw her name, and i went outside to take a sit waiting for her to finish.

Then the big moment came, she was done with her exam. She came outside looking exhausted and she headed straight for the exit stairs. My liver was failing big time. I was scared she would feel embarrassed if I called her name. My liver finally failed me and I gave up. She was about to take a step further down the stairs out of sight when she finally looked up and I immediately beckoned with my hands for her to come. She did, I guess she thought I was a JAMB official. "How was your exams?" I asked. "Fine, thank you!" she responded. "You look intelligent, I would like to know what you will score" I continued. "No problem sir" she said. "No problem?, there's a problem, I don't have your number". She smiled and dictated her number while I happily wrote it down. "I will call you later" I waved as she went downstairs. We officially began to talk fully via calls, and chats the next day March 11th 2015, and it was so amazing how fast we were becoming friends. I found out that she had never been to Asaba all her life and I was even surprised how Jamb "divinely" posted a candidate residing in Warri to Asaba (3 hours away). Well, all things works together for our good.
Bae secured admission to an amazing institution and she's currently top of her class now in year 2. She runs her own Online training business (like bae like boo).

2 years later (March 11th 2017), we are tying the knot (getting married) on the exact same day we began talking. So amazing!. At this junction, I want to thank God for this divine match making (more powerful than any dating resource), and secondly JAMB Nigeria for allowing God use you guys fix her CBT centre 3 hours away from her home just to meet me. I hope to see all you JAMB staff at the reception hall especially the JAMB registrar Mr. Ishaq Oloyede (hope this IV gets to you) and Mr Eze the Jamb Official on ground that day.

Finally I want to use this medium to invite all of you to the wedding. If you love our story and want to tap into this kind of grace and connection, show some love by praying for us, attending and in your gifts. See you in March 11th, Warri town. RSVP:

mods help share our story

My co Excel doctor. Congratulations!

I wish you happy home all the way

Wait oo, which programming language did you use for her

SirWere:
We often do things we don't like to avoid hassle.
Disrupting a meeting before it even started over trivial things like "prayer" is very unprofessional.

Lol...that's cowardliness.

He was asked to do what he doesn't believe in but instead of him to use the avenue to let them know he stand, he accepted it and decided to play smart. You called it unprofessional.

Why can't he ask someone to do that?

CASE STUDY

I was once asked to say the opening prayer, during a committee meeting, which had the most senior person in my organization in attendance, presided over the meeting and requested that i lead the opening prayer. In this meeting were members who know me as an atheist.

I certainly didn't want to create unnecessary confrontation, that will most likely be interpreted as slighting the boss publicly.

As a way out, and to the curiosity of the theists there, i did the following:

"shall we rise, as i pray". And i prayed thus: "we are all gathered here today and at this hour to deliberate on the progress and development of this organization, as we begin this deliberation, i ask that our minds be stirred and guided to proffer useful and beneficial ideas, that will drive this organization to the desired height. May all these be granted us, Amen".

Everybody said amen, and that was it.

Atheist delusion indeed! The last time I checked, PRAYER
prayer
prer/
noun
noun: prayer; plural noun: prayers

a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or an object of worship.

So instead of hiding under the guise of saying prayer why can't you come out openly and say SORRY MAN, I DON'T BELIEVE IN PRAYER.

You end your prayer with "AMEN" and in between your prayer you stated "...i ask that our minds be stirred and guided to proffer useful and beneficial ideas..." Sorry, who/what that will carry out this action

Tournel:
(Since I'm tired of answering questions from flat earthers who have no valid point but are trying in vain to debunk the points that support a globe earth by questioning people who are not very experienced at Physics,

You missed it here, I'm not a Flat Earth advocate rather just using my God's giving reasoning power.

I'll just copy and paste that answer because I didn't know it myself until I found out now

This is where the problem lies. You didn't know it, yet claiming as if you have been to space and know it all. Also why can't you sit down and ask yourself some simple questions

But the best thing you can come up with is to do copy and paste, meanwhile you're accusing someone holding to Flat Earth without producing fact.

[As for the sun, it's further away from the earth and so since we're closer, by my calculations, the earth gravitational force acting on us is stronger than the sun's gravitational force acting on us and that's why we stick to the earth and not float to the sun])

But this same far away Sun's Gravity can hold the WHOLE EARTH in space. Now, could you please tell me, does Sun's Gravity only stop at Earth atmosphere to hold it in space or get hold to the entire Earth itself to hold it in space

Weightlessness is simply a sensation experienced by an individual when there are no external objects touching one's body and exerting a push or pull upon it. Weightless sensations exist when all contact forces are removed. These sensations are common to any situation in which you are momentarily (or perpetually) in a state of free fall. When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.

Do will suppose to experience anything like weightlessness if Sun's GRAVITY travels throughout the solar system
Nothing like weightlessness on Earth simply because Earth's Gravity is in place but miraculously there's a weightlessness in space even though the same Sun's Gravity that goes as far as to last planet was there. How could that possible.

These feelings of weightlessness are common at amusement parks for riders of roller coasters and other rides in which riders are momentarily airborne and lifted out of their seats. Suppose that you were lifted in your chair to the top of a very high tower and then your chair was suddenly dropped. As you and your chair fall towards the ground, you both accelerate at the same rate - g. Since the chair is unstable, falling at the same rate as you, it is unable to push upon you. Normal forces only result from contact with stable, supporting surfaces. The force of gravity is the only force acting upon your body. There are no external objects touching your body and exerting a force. As such, you would experience a weightless sensation. You would weigh as much as you always do (or as little) yet you would not have any sensation of this weight.

Weightlessness is only a sensation; it is not a reality corresponding to an individual who has lost weight. As you are free falling on a roller coaster ride (or other amusement park ride), you have not momentarily lost your weight. Weightlessness has very little to do with weight and mostly to do with the presence or absence of contact forces. If by "weight" we are referring to the force of gravitational attraction to the Earth, a free-falling person has not "lost their weight;" they are still experiencing the Earth's gravitational attraction. Unfortunately, the confusion of a person's actual weight with one's feeling of weight is the source of many misconceptions.

Then who confused weightlessness with lost of one's weight Please don't derail the thread.
Again, from your previous statement, Gravity tends to draw everything to the body originated from, that's why Earth gravity could hold everything on earth surface. Why then sun gravity suspend planet in space and not drawing them to its surface?

If you want to learn to browse for knowledge better rather than questioning valid points for a globe earth without providing your own points for flat earth that hasn't already been invalidated, read more about weightlessness at http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/circles/Lesson-4/Weightlessness-in-Orbit

Thanks!

You're confused by bringing up weightlessness which doesn't correspondent with the issue at hand.

The point here is on Gravity which are in two forms:
1. Why will Earth gravity supersede that of the Sun which is 100 times powerful than it with the claim that Sun gravity even passes through the earth to hold the biggest planet and last planet in space?
2. Why would planets float and revolve around the sun, when gravity supposed to pull everything to the body being generated from?

Girls love surprises, if you buy gift for your girlfriend you only surprised one person but if you can introduce your girlfriend to your wife. You're magically surprising two persons without a gift.

Wife: Honey! I had a dream that you bought diamond for me.
Husband: Darling! Kindly go back to dream and wear it.

Guy: I got close to you through friendship and you took my heart away
Girl: That's why you'll remain in friendzone forever

Also here is a design a made for a department in a University In Nigeria (Names withheld for private purpose). This automated excel app help the department to compile transcript (students raw scores and grades) from first year to Final and automatically calculates the GPA for every year, then automatically calculate the CGPA at the end of four or five years and assigns first class, second class, etc without you doing it. Their work now is just to enter the student name and score. The rest takes care of itself. Here are sample pictures (University name withheld)

That's wonderful, I'm also an expert in building automated Excel. In fact, I can even go deeper by using both Excel and Access Database together.

Good thread but I will like us to find a way of harmonizing the pieces of these circuits together in order to bring great work out of it.

ceejay80s:
my guy things don cost for nigeria, the more u wait ,the more e dey increase, before i bought my solar panel, it was 35k but now i bought mine 60k, today i heard the guy telling a buyer 65k,
whats ur load? 12v connection is easier , buy 12v 1.55kva blue gate ups or 12v 1.7kva ups and connect in parallel , make sure the ups is 12v ups and 12v smart charger and if u cant connect it ,look for some body who will do it for u,to avoid damaging the charger or the ups

Alright, and I appreciate your simplicity

But sorry how do you connect the solar panel with this set up? If you've already explained that on this thread kindly help me with the page I can find it. Thanks

ceejay80s:
Yes u can use a ups that uses more than one battery 24v, 48v. But some ups that uses two batteries are 12v so it depends on the type u want, load and battery size depends

Thanks for that.
So if I want to use like five 75AH batteries, what is the range of UPS you advice to be used?
Will it be connected in parallel or series?

Again? i called the man you gave his number who sells the Smart Charger and I was told that for 50Amp is 18k, does it cost like that?

Allem:
Yes, but then the ba3 will be connected in series cos the ups is a 24v. As for the type of ups/inverter, the amount of load you want to power determines the ups/inveryer you use. My OGAs can explain better. Me na still learner

I didn't talk about the battery I'm going to connect to the UPS but the UPS inbuilt Battery itself.

So if the UPS I'm going to use has more than one battery then my external battery must also be actual number of the inbuilt batteries and connected in series, did get it?

ceejay80s:
Yes it will power lcd and led TVs, Its easy, all u need is a small ups ( the one that uses only one battery), a battery charger and a 12v valve regulated or deep cycle battery and a red and black wire which u will use to extend the negative and positive cable of the ups
Unscrew ur ups and extend the black and red wire that go to the battery to be longer(please use red and black colour wire to avoid confusion), connect the extended red wire to ur battery positive(red) and the black to ur battery (negative),
Also connect the charger's positive clip to ur battery positive and charger's negative clip to ur battery negative, now, plug in ur charger power cable in to electricity power source and plug in ur lcd to ur ups, turn on ur ups and its ready!!!

Sorry, can we use a UPS having more than one battery and must the load determine the types of UPS to be used?

This is part I need clarification of. Thanks!

Why do you on the other hand carry an Israelite religion on head like Carrot? I thought Jesus himself said he was sent to the lost sheep of Israel and not to Nigerians, isn't it?

And pray tell, how is Islam an Arabian religion?

Yet you can say Christianity a religion of Israelite. SMH!!!

Rilwayne001:
How do you want me to know? Have i ever being to Saudi

But you haven't been to US before you know

What kind of stupid question are you asking me whatever their reason for allowing or not allowing women to protest is not my concern. I'm a Nigerian and not an Arabian.

Get some sense before mentioning me abegg.

Mr you can continue to raise your insult and display your frustration the truth is you know no woman can never do such under any Islamic state because of Sharia law.

You're not an Arabian but Saudi is where your people travel to every year to stone Satan, why?

How much?

Rilwayne001:
What is it that you want me to say, why are you laughing? anything funny?

You know the truth but still pretending not to know, can women with full hijab protest in an Islamic Nation like Saudi Arabia fighting for woman's right?

If your answer is No!

Why do you think, they're dare not to demand for woman's right in an Islamic State like Saudi Arabia but having power to demand for woman's right in non-islamic Nation?
