masonkz:That's more than enough reason. Fight for your rights. |
adegoke93:[url]store.steampowered.com[/url] www.humblebundle.com/ www.gog.com www.greenmangaming.com/ Don't be a pirate. PC games are not that expensive. There are sales virtually every day so you can buy games ridiculously cheap. Plus with Steam you get free online gaming, cloud saves, and some of the best games are free. The people making the games deserve to eat. And there's never been a better time to go legit. |
This is just speculation, no announcement yet. But if it is true, its just another reason not to vote for Jonathan. They're basically claiming that under him our country has become so unsafe that we can't have elections. Meaning he has basically destroyed our democracy. Our army and police can no longer cope. Even with all the security agents fully occupied in the northeast, we still need the Chadians and Cameroonians to come and rescue us. We should all be ashamed! What have we come to? Jonathan just has to go. |
Its amazing how religion can make otherwise intelligent people so stüpid. I mean how could any sensible person see these pictures and accept them at face value? I mean seriously?!? You guys didn't even google the name of the newspaper to see if its legit?!? From Wikipedia: The Weekly World News was a largely fictional news tabloid published in the United States from 1979 to 2007, renowned for its outlandish cover stories often based on supernatural or paranormal themes and an approach to news that verged on the satirical. Its characteristic black-and-white covers have become pop-culture images widely used in the arts. It continues to exist as a website.Typical headlines: https://s12.postimg.org/ac6f2f0j1/Weekly_World_News_Cover_Art_4800.jpg [img]http://1.bp..com/-gfCYHAqU9TM/UNUOyDgZDPI/AAAAAAAAFbM/3y0QCxUV9tk/s1600/WeeklyWorldNews2.JPG[/img] *Edit: I hate the way the same stüpid lies always get duplicated all over Nairaland, forcing me to copy and paste my posts in 3 or 4 different threads. You Christians should at least turn on part of your brains and fact-check before you litter the religion section with your lies. Are you people so desperate for evidence of your religion that this is what you've stooped to? What the hell! |
wiegraf:Also, Buhari's circumstances back then were completely different from what they are now. People think he single-handedly made the government brutal forgetting that it was a military government with notorious hardässes like Idiagbon also having their say. Nowadays, he couldn't whip anyones's ynash even if he wanted to. Democracy means limited government, oversight, separation of powers and individual rights; things Buhari cannot get rid of without undermining himself since he'll be getting his powers from the same constitution. This is actually the best time to have a brutal ex-dictator as president. He can't touch law abiding citizens, but he can channel his brutality towards Boko Haram and the criminals bleeding us dry. |
MzNelly:But it was a magic donkey so it totally makes sense. www.nairaland.com/attachments/46034_Donkey_Shrek_jpg34be614d86ec9dcbce8e24777ddfd448 |

^^^To be fair, no Nigerian leader has done more to harm the gay community than GEJ. Buhari hasn't said anything particularly bad concerning homosexuals and didn't persecute them when he was head of state. Besides, Osibanjo is a constitutional lawyer so he's probably our best chance of getting that law stricken off. One way or the other sha, GEJ has to go. Nigerians have to start punishing rubbish leaders if we are ever going to progress. If we keep rewarding incompetence who knows where we'll end up. |
blackammo:Start a Steam group and I'll consider joining. Facebook is so 2008. I'm so sick and tired of them messing with my privacy settings that I hardly ever post anything and only use it to chat with old friends. |
The Economist magazine has endorsed Muhammadu Buhari for next week's elections. While they acknowledged Buhari's past as a military dictator and heavily criticized his regime's economic and social policies; they still prefered him to Jonathan who was described as "an utter failure". SOMETIMES there are no good options. Nigeria goes to the polls on February 14th to elect the next president, who will face problems so large—from rampant corruption to a jihadist insurgency—that they could break the country apart, with dire consequences for Nigerians and the world.Ouch! |
This has nothing to do with Islam. Islam is a religion of peace. There are millions and millions of moderate Muslims who are using peaceful means to establish a caliphate and impose sharia law on the world. They do not condone violence (unless it is done according to the Koran, and the teachings and example of the prophet in which case its okay). The fact that moderate Muslims are the power base for violent fanatics and give extremists credibility is irrelevant. The fact that the koran says so many awful things about Jewish people is besides the point. The fact that the prophet Muhammad himself regularly ordered the killing of people who criticized him, once massacred and entire tribe of people, and seized women and kept them as sex slaves for himself and his companions doesn't matter. The fact extremist groups like ISIS can justify every single horrible thing they do by referencing the prophet's actions and teaching as well as the koran itself means nothing. The fact that moderates are producing more potential terrorists everyday by indoctrinating their innocent children with Islam doesn't matter. Its not fair to judge moderate Muslims by the actions of the people that they willingly associate themselves with. Its not the moderates' fault that some people take the teachings of Islam, that all Muslims support and defend, to their logical conclusions. Lets not blame all Muslims for all this Islam-inspired violence. Just because you support, promote, and defend a violent, intolerant ideology doesn't mean you are responsible for the violence and intolerance it causes. Let's be reasonable. www.nairaland.com/attachments/2040015_lbk8ano_pngc0d1613a2c2831ed4033eb135190feed |

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. https://86bb71d19d3bcb79effc-d9e6924a0395cb1b5b9f03b7640d26eb.r91.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/skyrim-screenshot-1.jpg https://imageserver.moviepilot.com/skyrim-dragon-fallout-4-vs-elder-scrolls-vi-new-skyrim-you-pick.jpeg https://86bb71d19d3bcb79effc-d9e6924a0395cb1b5b9f03b7640d26eb.r91.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/skyrim-screenshot-5.jpg Amazing game! It has virtually taken over my life. I got it just over a week ago and its already my most played game on Steam. I was playing Portal 2 (another fantastic game) and just wanted to try it to see what it was like and come back after after finishing Portal. But the thing just sucked me in. And unlike many modern games these days that you can finish in 6 hours, Skyrim is almost endless. Even when you finish the extremely long main quest, there's a ridiculous amount of side quests and things to do. And I haven't even started on the Mods yet. I almost feel ashamed that I'm just discovering the Elder Scrolls series for the first time. |
How exactly have you "got his back"? Are you planning to take turns guarding his house? Are going to be following him around with a cutlass and an AK-47? Or are just planning to post "#JeSuisSeun" on twitter after he gets murdered by a fanatic? Empty promise is empty. |
BabaGnoni:I didn't reply to your earlier posts because I didn't deem them worthy of a response. I have limited time and since your arguments are self-evidently nonsense, I decided to spend my energy on the one that seemed more sensible i.e Frosbel's. I mean first you claimed that Paul was being sarcastic (lol!) with no real evidence outside your own imagination. Then you posted that long-winded video in an attempt to complicate a statement that is really quite simple and clear-cut. Trying to win an argument by burying your opponent in grammar is a very cheap tactic that does not work here. I know your pastors are fond of dancing from bible verse to bible verse, reading them out of context and twisting themselves into knots in trying to form a coherent-sounding argument, but this is not church we are not so easily fooled. Even though I think he's wrong, Frosbel was at least using the legitimate methods of textual analysis and comparison of different texts to make his point that the passage was an interpolation. There are even notable biblical scholars who agree with him. I however disagree because I think its cherry-picking by those who want to rehabilitate Paul. If we were to discard every passage that seems to "break the flow of the passage" or "appears in a different location in some manuscripts" or looks suspicious for some other reason; there'll be very little left of the New Testament. We have to accept the fact that it is a hodgepodge written, edited, interpolated, redacted and manipulated by god knows how many people over centuries. We can't just delete one passage in isolation and claim that as proof that Saint Paul was actually a lovely guy instead of the horrible bigot he appears to be. If you remove that passage you'll have to also get rid of all those that suffer the same problems, and you'll end up with a completely different new testament that can fit on one sheet of paper. |
OREMUSSANCTUS:Ignore the message and insult the messenger. Classic Nairaland Christian dodging tactic. Also, I didn't know Ephesians and Timothy were in the old testament: Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. Ephesians 6:5 Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. 1 Timothy 6:1-2 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Matthew 5:17That last one was a direct quote from your Jesus himself. But what would he know about Christianity? Your opinion is much more credible. |
@BabaGnoni You accuse me of making things up, yet in the next breath you refer to OP who quoted this: There is good evidence that these two verses were not part of Paul’s original writing, but were added to the text by scribes or copyists. It is never desirable to change Christian practice by omitting a verse of the Bible. Nevertheless, it is honest to recognize that occasionally the biblical text was changed, and in this case there are a number of pieces of evidence that certainly seem to warrant removing these verses that say women should be silent in the church. Before we examine those, however, it must be admitted that if these verses are an addition to the Greek text, it would have been an early addition, because the verses appear in the Greek manuscripts of 1 Corinthians.Then wrote this: frosbel:Do you have a short term memory problem? You should really get that looked at. *Edit: I'll modify my last post so that it's clear that I was replying to OP if you like. Hopefully, that should make it stop confusing you. Also, if Paul wrote Corinthians, then he was a misogynist by definition. Words have meanings which are not subject to your personal opinion. |
@Frosbel Saint Paul was a misogynist. It is very clear in all his writings. He had a very low opinion of women which is why he wrote what he wrote. It is ridiculous to try and rehabilitate him by claiming that the parts of his letters you don't happen to like weren't written by him. You'll need pretty strong evidence for that and that evidence simply does not exist. While he almost certainly didn't write 1st and 2nd Timothy and he might not have written Ephesians, the 2 letters to the Corinthians are definitely his and the misogyny in them is perfectly in line with the pseudoepigraphical letters. Even when you remove all the likely forged stuff from the new testament there's still plenty of bigotry left. In fact, the forged stuff was included in the canon precisely because it was in line with the spirit of the rest of the books. The christian message is mainly one of intolerance to other religions, groups and lifestyles. And women were not spared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1JIKOMQV5A *Edited to stop from confusing BabaGnoni |
No, the bible doesn't say that. That would be the Catholic church. Even it did say that, so what? The bible also says you should kill people who work on Saturdays and that slavery is okay but yet we're all happy to ignore those parts. Your morality doesn't come from any magic book. Just follow your conscience and do whatever you need to be happy while trying your best not to harm others. That's all the moral guidance you need. |
saintsinner360:Its not "your" (i.e. Christians) section. There are more than 2 religions in this world. Read this and stop your whining. |
olayoungz:Its not the speed thats the problem, its the bandwidth allowance. Theres no point downloading at 1.5mb/s when they'll cut you off once you exceed 5gb. Or if you need to pay through your ynash just to download one game. Once your internet is fast enough to watch youtube without buffering, more speed becomes less useful. I have so many games I own that I havent downloaded because I have to manage my download limit. Bought Arkham Origins recently: 17gb. I bought Battlefield 3 a few years ago and never finished downloading it because its 17gb. I got Dragon Age Origins for free:17gb. I bought Max Payne 3 this holiday sale: 33gb. GTA 5 is coming soon out: 65gb. Its only by stealing bandwidth at work that I manage to download the number of games I have. Until we have an ISP that gives us reliable internet at an supra-youtube speed, with a generous bandwidth allowance and at an affordable price, Nigerians will keep complaining. |
You can do a comprehensoive medical exam for a reasonabke cost at [url=uniondiagnostic.com.ng]Union Diagnostic[/url]. They have offices in Tejuosho and VI. You're probably better off seeing a doctor and doing just the tests that are relevant to your complaint instead of going on a fishing expedition. Doing tests is not like seeing a babalowo. Its more likely to lead to pointless and unnecessary treatments tban solve your problem. Everybody has one or more things in their body that is different from "the norm",. Just because yours is different doesnt mean its worth pursuing ezpecially if you dont have any symptoms relatable to that result. One of the first things I learnt in medical school is "you dont treat a lab result, you treat the patient". |
Proffdada:Is it worth getting? I bought Saints Row 4 in Humble Bundle a few months back and I still havent downloaded it because I still want to finish Saints Row 3 first. Theres just not enough time. |
If he's not willing to change thw catholic church's toxic doctines on contraception and condom use he should stay the hell away. We don't need some oyimbo cultural imperialist coming here to decieve our people. We dont need heartless, callous ässholes telling poor africans not to plan their families, or telling us not to use condoms in the middle of an HIV epidemic. Now that europe has rejected their brand of poverty inducing nonsense, they now have no choice but to sell it to the third world. But we don't want. They shlould take their poison somewhere else. |
The prophet Mohammed also laid down strict rules about which foot you should use to enter the toilet (the left) which position to use (squatting both to pìss and shìt), which direction to face (never face the kaabah), which hand to use to hold your equipment (left), which hand to use to clean up (left again), what to use to clean your ynash (water or stones, never use bone or dung because evil genies eat them), how many stones to wipe your ynash with (3 or 5 or any larger odd number, never use fewer than 3 or an even number otherwise allah will be greatly displeased), which foot to use to exit the toilet (the right). Muslims are also required to say an incantation for protection against evil spirits before entering the toilet, and ask for allah's forgiveness after exiting. Also, allowing your urine to splash on you while peeing is a grave sin for which allah will punish you after you die. Shìtting and peeing are a huge deal in the eyes of allah and apparently we've all been doing it wrong. There are many other rules which I haven't mentioned but you can google it if you want to learn the proper muslim way to take a shìt. |
Portal 2 on PC. Good game, runs great even on my cheap laptop. And I bought it and the original for pennies in the Steam holiday sale. |
Abuamam:First of all, stop generalizing about animals. Some animals kill each other, some humans kill other humans. Baby killing happens fairly regularly among humans (which is not surprising given the fact that we are primates). In fact, we are not even the most peaceful among the great apes. That award goes to the Bonobos by a wide margin. Secondly, you've shown a very poor understanding of how evolution via natural selection works. FYI, natural selection favours behaviors which enhance survival and reproductive success. If you live in a herd, being nice to your fellow members enhances your own survival which is why social animals evolve to behave altruistically towards each other. And altruistic behavior (kindness to others at personal cost) is extremely widespread in nature, going all the way down to bacteria sharing DNA with each other. That's because evolution favours cooperation over competition. And humans are no exception. We are guided by our instincts far more than we are willing to accept. And those instincts are where we get our morality from, not any stüpid religion. Even among some backward tribes, stealing, killing, cannibalism and the like were highly valued codes of conduct, may still be. Our African ancestors were continually involved in inter village wars and plunder, and selling off their fellows as slaves.Clearly you've swallowed the oyimbo's racist lies and propaganda about our forefathers. Did oyimbos not engage in inter-village wars, plunder and stealing? Have you read the old testament? Was it only black people involved in slavery? Doesn't the bible approve of it? Didn't the prophet Mohammed sell many of his poor victims into slavery (and share others among his men)? What makes one tribe backwards and the other civilized? And why is the oyimbo definition of civilization the only one you believe in? And so what if Stalin and Mao were atheists? How does that mean all atheists tend to be free with their justifications for doing evil? So there aren't any atheists who aren't evil mass murderers? What about Hitler, who was catholic and received communion every Sunday even up to the late stages of the war? What about Christopher Columbus, Cortez, Joseph Kony, Idi Amin, Genghis Khan, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, George Bush, Mohammed Shekau? How do you know it was their atheism that made Stalin and Mao evil? What if it was their pot bellies, which is another feature they share? Or maybe it was the fact that they were both raised in deeply religious households or were both damaged early in life by their abusive fathers? Clearly you have just been swallowing all the rubbish you've been told without thinking deeply first. That is a habit you need to break. |
DUOz:Buy or build a desktop PC, then add a decent video card. Gaming laptops are not cost effective. To get a decent experience running the latest games you need to spend an insane amount of money. Regardless of their processor speed, most affordable laptops come with integrated graphics which is not powerful enough to do justice to modern games. You might be able to get a a good experience with 2 year old games at 720p, but for modern games you need to either get a desktop or spend stupid money. Desktop PC are cheap and you can build one that is significantly more powerful than the PS4 for the same amount of money. Or if you already have one, you can just buy a mid-range video card and you're set. Follow this guide if you need help picking parts. You can buy them online and ship them to Nigeria, or get someone who is travelling to bring them for you. Cheers |
