Yes,I've done it twice. It's no big deal.

Its possible jor...I remember a female friend of mine who really liked me and wanted to upgrade the relationship but I turned her down politely...
Was having girl issues so I felt I would be aggressive towards her and I wouldnt like it...

You guys turned down a tuush girl?

I had this argument with my hommies about a girl I turned down when she made advances at me. Some of them argued that the opposite actually happened cos the girl is kinda tuush and all that. Some said she was merely flirting with me and not hitting on me, while my very close G mocked me for not taking the opportunity.

So, has anyone ever turned a girl down? Or do girls merely flirt with guys and we misunderstand it as wooing?

For the women here, have you ever wooed a guy and got turned down?

it will actually lead humanity to self destruction. I'm not being pessimistic but imagine all the negative things that could be achieved when this process is being successfully repeated on human beings. as if cloning is not bad enough -__-

Think about the positive aspect...a major advancement in Neuroscience. Biological bots that don't need instructions can help humanity in industries, agriculture and space exploration.

PhockPhockman, how long did your journey take?

[b] Acts 2 records the apostles
being baptized in the Holy Spirit and
empowered by Him to proclaim the gospel.
The apostles were enabled to speak in
other languages (tongues) so they could
share the truth with people in their own
languages. Acts 10 records the apostle Peter
being sent to share the gospel with non-
Jewish people. Peter and the other early
Christians, being Jews, would have a hard
time accepting Gentiles (non-Jewish
people) into the church. God enabled the
Gentiles to speak in tongues to demonstrate
that they had received the same Holy Spirit
the apostles had received (Acts 10:47 , 11:17 ).
Acts 10:44-47 describes this: “While Peter
was still speaking these words, the Holy
Spirit came on all who heard the message.
The circumcised believers who had come
with Peter were astonished that the gift of
the Holy Spirit had been poured out even
on the Gentiles. For they heard them
speaking in tongues and praising God. Then
Peter said, 'Can anyone keep these people
from being baptized with water? They have
received the Holy Spirit just as we have.'“
Peter later refers back to this occasion as
proof that God was indeed saving the
Gentiles (Acts 15:7-11 )
Read also Acts 19:6[/b]

open your mind and let the Spirit flows.

Speaking in tongues happens when one receives the holy spirit. It can't be induced then. It should be a one-time event since you receive the Holy Spirit once which becomes everlasting.

to what end?? I find this saddening and disgusting. human beings trying to outdo God. to what end I ask again??

the end is nigh!!

I think you're looking at it from a different angle. No matter what scientists do, they can never outdo God. They're merely modifying what He has already created.

This new discovery can help humanity in a lotta ways, mate.

When you think about it, the brain is really nothing
more than a collection of electrical signals. If we
can learn to catalogue those then, in theory, you
can upload someone’s mind onto a computer,
allowing them to live forever as a digital form of
consciousness, just like in the Johnny Depp
film Transcendence.

But it’s not just science fiction. Sure, scientists
aren’t anywhere near close to achieving such feat
with humans (and even if they could, the ethics
would be pretty fraught), but now an international
team of researchers have managed to do just that
with the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans .
C. elegans is a little nematodes that have been
extensively studied by scientists - we know all of
their genes and their nervous system has been
analysed many times.

Now a collective called the OpenWorm project has
mapped all the connections between the worm’s
302 neurons and managed to simulate them in
software, as Marissa Fessenden reports for the
Smithsonian.

The ultimate goal of the project is to completely
replicate C. elegans as a virtual organism, but for
now, they’ve only managed to simulate its brain,
and they’ve now uploaded that into a simple Lego
robot.

This Lego robot has all the equivalent limited
body parts that C. elegans has - a sonar sensor
that acts as a nose, and motors that replace its
motor neurons on each side of its body.
Amazingly, without any instruction being
programmed into the robot, the C. elegans brain
upload controlled and move the Lego robot.

Lucy Black writes for I Programmer :
"It is claimed that the robot behaved in ways that
are similar to observed C. elegans. Stimulation of
the nose stopped forward motion. Touching the
anterior and posterior touch sensors made the
robot move forward and back accordingly.
Stimulating the food sensor made the robot move
forward."

This video of the Lego-worm-robot was released
by Timothy Busbice, a founder of OpenWorm,
showing it moving, stopping and then travelling
backwards.

Of course, the brain simulation still isn’t exact -
for one, the researchers had to simplify the
process that triggers an artificial neuron to fire.
But the fact that this robot can move, stop before
it bumps into something and reverse using
nothing more than a network of connections that
mimic a worm’s brain, is pretty incredible.

Scientists are now working out how to map all the
connections in the human brain - something
called the connectome. Even if we’re not
uploading our brains into computers, just being
able to simulate a human brain would help to
revolutionise artificial intelligence and computers.
And if we could one day get to the point where we
can somehow get our minds to escape the
vulnerable fleshy meat sacks that currently house
them, the opportunities would, quite literally, be
mind-blowing.

There are many purpose and importance of speaking in tongue.
Firstly its the evidence that you have the Holy Spirit which you cannot have unless you are truly saved. Many think it's a gift but no it's not, all you have to do after salvation is just receive Him.

He is your advocate.

it teaches you how to pray.
Jude 20...

Speaking in tongues is an evidence... Okay, do you know where this is written in the Bible.

Remember that the disciples spoke in tongues that people around them understood. Tongues like Aramic, Hebrew, Latin, Greek and others.

I've read the passage where the disciples where gathered in a room praying, when the Holy Spirit descended upon them and made them speak in different tongues (languages).

The purpose of this miracle was to showcase the power of God to the different people present at that period of Pentecost; for they spoke different tongues (Languages). So when they heard and understood the disciples, they marveled, repented and gave their lives to Christ.

So one can conclude that that singular event was to get converts. But nowadays, Christians speak in tongues at just anytime and anywhere — from morning devotions to vigils.

I just want to know if there's any other purpose of Speaking in tongues. Bible quotations and references needed.

What exactly is he saying? Was the country so good before Jonathan came into power. And Jonathan destroyed everything?

Nigeria was already in a mess before GEJ got elected, although I'm not happy with the pace of development going on and the obvious stagnation in some sectors.

My question is... why did Mbaka choose this period - just a month to election to notice the failures of GEJ's government if he's not being partisan.

What's laughable is the way he kept mentioning 'we need change'. An obvious campaign slogan of the opposition party.

shachris03:
I wonder why that sambisa forest is still standing. Is Nigerian Army so clueless that they do not know that razing that damn forest down would reveal the hideouts of this boys? somehow I feel that this regime is encouraging terrorism.

Did you know? Sambisa forest is larger than some states in Nigeria.

I know enormous pressure would be mounted on the Military not to release the said certs given that they come under the command of the president, but one thing they should know is the chaos that would ensue upon
tinkering with disqualification of Buhari would make the subsidy protests look like a new yam festival!!

Threatening fire and brimstone just because of a retired general's ‘missing' certificate.

How many innocent Nigerians will die as a result of such chaos?

From the comments we get in topics like this one here, it can be concluded that most men hate artificial lashes on women.

But why do so many women still keep up with the trend? Are the lashes meant to make them more attractive to the same men that find it unappealing?

Two possible answers.
a. Some guys could be lying.
b. Girls who use artificial lashes are rretarded.

10. 85% of all Valentine's Day cards are
purchased by women

Not in Nigeria.

I partially have 1, 3 and 4 attitudes but not even a tiny bit of the rest.

Buhari is shameless. A whole presidential aspirant... selling branded recharge cards to raise money for his campaign.
