#hands folded**waiting for them to act#

long overdue indeed!...England too were victims of this at the 2010 world cup. So it is welcomed.

You, buhari,weep for Nigeria?...same old story.

Why the nerves? @dani1luv

This is what i call JOKE!...i really lol

So sad, when will these killings stop? Human life don't mean a thing this days.

I'm savouring this post and comments. Indeed! A nice thread.

naijacutee: I'm confused. So instead of increasing the standards of education, sending teachers for training, creating libraries, they choose the easier route of lowering the standards. And we wonder why uneducated Boko Haramists kill without reason? This will solve NOTHING.

who told you boko haram aren't educated? Get your facts right before commenting please. I don't want to derail this thread.

This got me laughing!!! Nice one poster!

kayusfit: Let them keep dying who cares?? It's just a tale of a dead man weeping for a dead man. Death is natural and we must all die. The fool maybe one of those "U CAN NEVER SCORE 50 IN MY COURSE MOFOS" now he's gone with all his degrees and probably his marking scripts. Laffing in boko haram

how dare you talk like this to the dead? Have you got conscience at all?

Why go china? I strongly believe Drogba has still got a lot to offer to any team. He is my player of the season in all competitions. V.p was effective, but Drogba was efficient.

blink182: Information leads anytime anyday, its a matter of applying it properly.

and how do you apply it? With paper abi? Buttress your point.

Hmm! You all have given nice points. But i will like your points to be somehow limited or focused more on the present Nigerian circle.
Both money and information are indispensable and very important for any wealth-making venture or set-up. If we compare the merits on both sides, we will realise that MONEY stands tall than information. Here are my points on money:
1. With money, ideas come rushing, of what use is information if you have no money to harness that information into something profitable, i know of a crop of people who have got information about employments, businesses, latest offers in the society but lack the money to compete with others in the forefront or in the runing to grab this opportunities
2. Today, God has so blessed the igbo people that they can make cool money even with or without substantial information. Fine, you might want to discredit the quality of the products they make, but its putting food on their table, what have you done with your wealth of information? Money make things happen, i'm not igbo, but i do admire the industriousness of the igbos.
3. Information - money= paralysis.
Of what use is information without money, sometimes you even need money to acquire information. Lets say i've got ideas or information on establising a shoe making factory in a remote area with high demand for leather products like bags, shoes, wrist watches e.t.c. Without money to work towards this idea, the information is baseless and useless without money to make it count. A lot of people have got information or ideas but with little or no money to make it count. Money answers all things, including information.

Well said man! We all need some time off to create some rib cracking jokes! Enough of all these stale and tastless jokes. I totally support it.

Lol...extremely funny!!!

Na wa o! Wetin happen? Dis wan na epistle o!

Nairaland and criticism ehn!..it thrives here.

Arysexy: dis prophesy will make me know if this man is really from God or not, let wait and c, this thread must not be deleted

i'm bemused by your comment, prophesy is now a criteria for determining the reality of a prophet? Don't be blinded by fanaticism. Haven't you had of fake or false prophesy?

ifihearam: So the Almighty God will reduce Himself telling a prophet about football matches. Please my God is busy doing better things with His time abeg

the earth is the lord and the fullness thereof! God doesn't discriminate or segregate like we men do, God shows his supremacy in all affairs of men, why do some football teams pray before kick-off of matches? You think its just a vocal exercise? don't try to be the mouth-piece of God. His ways are diverse and mysterious. You can't undertand all about him. Do you work with God? can you see him? How do you know he is so busy as not to follow a football match? Don't even dare to predict the mind of God. You can't even read the mind of your fellow human, how much more God? Cheers!

Why bring up this topic again? To mock Ikpeba? Oh! Nairaland, why not free this guy? Are we lords of the language?

pato405: @Okija juju & co:

read your post and it was really hilarious. in as much as I am not one fanatic and do not preach religion, I think I have what I'll describe as personal constructs about this on-going argument. conclusively, I can say that both atheist and theists have not been able to prove His existence and all attempt to do so only exposes more bogus claims, folly and sheer ignorance. . this 'argument' about a supreme being didn't start today on NL. it has always been and will always be. however, I am not trying to derail the thread.

I strongly believe that because the scriptures have been over-translated, lots of meaning in concept and context have been lost along the line, hence this boiling brouhaha and confusion about the nature of God's existence. in other words, in my opinion, the scriptures may not be just enough to articulate his existence in the face of rigorous and logical debate. nevertheless, this does not in any way nullify the possibilities of His existence because there has also been no logical prof to that either. in essence, NO SIDE WINS

questions are often asked hurled indiscriminately about why God allows evil to thrive if truly he is God and if He really exists. this same question is also more often than not, a recurrent question from atheist in heated debates about God's existence just as Okija and co have asked on this thread. well, the bible may provide a clue to this in the following passages:


Isa 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

@op what type beauty do you mean? Facial beauty? If its that, then she isn't anyway near the most beautiful igbo girl.

logicboy: The biblical God;

-only talked to people in the middle east, especially Jews while man has created the internet and mobile phones to communicate with anyone, anywhere
-took 40 days to destroy the world with flooding while modern man can destroy the whole world in hours with nuclear bombs/WMDs
-has ten commandments written on stone while man has thousands of laws written on paper, on the internet, on computers, mobile phones etc
-claims to have created the world without scientific evidence while man/manufactures have logos or signatures on their creations
-only managed to impregnate one virgin (Mary) while man, through artificial insemination, can make not only thousands of virgins pregnant but also lesbians as well.

The deist/agnostic God;
-creates life and hides behind unknown cosmology without taking credit for his creation while man/manufacturers provide warranties for their creations/products with pride
-watches his creation with indifference like a peeping tom while man/manufacturers monitor and get feedback or sometimes recall their products.
-creates imperfect world, doesnt give a sh!t about errors while man/manufacturers recall factory errors after feedback
-creates some planets for no damn reason while man/manufacturers create products for a reason




Any questions?

YOU NEED AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS CHRIST JUST LIKE SAUL. I PRAY HE REVEALS HIMSELF TO YOU. Smh.

Denizsmart: U pple ar gettin it all wrong here, afta writing d post utme in various skulz, jamb offerz admisn 1st as in u cn check ur admisn status in jamb'z official website. Then skulz nw releases theirs too. Dnt get it twisted, post utme has nt bn scrapped nd wil neva be... Hope u undastood u blockd brained jambites. Lmfao. :-D

you marred the good work you did with the last sentence.

@poster. Common! You guys can work it out. Practice slow speech-making.

Abeg clarify, is stuttering or stammaring hereditary?

justwise: Anybody that goes down as much as Drogba does will always be on injury list.

He spent much of last Wed match on the ground, the only time he stood on his feet was when he scored

i disagree! It was a tactic to kill the incessant pressure mounted by Barcelona. Have you seen Barcelona players falling like pack of cards before? I guess you haven't.

pendo89: I feel sorry for this baby.
make sure he/she doesn't sue you when he discovers the meaning of his name.

on point! I'm still amazed.

Na wa o! Has it come to this? People now come to nairaland to request for names to give their babies. I feel sorry for this innocent child.
@poster, you amaze me. Those days, our parents gave us names sometimes based on the circumstance(s) that surrounded our conception. E.g my name is Emmanuel (God with us) because i was told by my mum that some evil forces battled her while i was in the womb, but God was with her to see her through. Thats what i mean!
Can't you sit down with your wife and think of a befitting name to give your child? Rather than come here asking for logic-driven names. I mean! Its absurd. Even during pregnancy, our parents had already had names to give their unborn child. People here will just think of any sweet-to-pronounce names and give you.
Some will even recommend their own names! Haba! Just know this, there is a spiritual force behind every name. Infact go and pray.

I guessed he overworked himself against barcelona. He is really a powerhouse and a thorn in the flesh of any defender. This is good news for Arsenal, because i don't see any of their central defenders that can contain Drogba or match his physical presence upfront. He has a good record against Arsenal. Well, Torres is good to go then!
