Read this earlier. This is one of the things that prove that there is a supreme being up there...God!

This why Africa is going nowhere! Yes God exists but lets investigate why all the normal tests came back negative.

Let's establish that the kids are truly hers, also establish she didn't use a surrogate, we can then proceed by looking at the tests she did.

We cant just say God did it and that's it!

Aye ax men!!!! Stupidity raised to power 300.

How do you expect Nigeria to progress when our politicians belong to outlawed criminal gangs?

Ndi ara

The truth is that a Nigeria that is not at war is beneficial to the west as no country wants to deal with the number of refugees that will come from Nigeria in the event of a crisis.

Remember this same international community said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

My personal opinion is for everyone to accept Buhari's win and work together for a better Nigeria but saying elections were free and fair is a shameless lie.

AuntyAmope:
From my little observation, I believe Nigeria -before Buhari assumed office in 2015- was already at a point of explosion due to the heavy mismanagement of funds by almost all the past governments. It was just a matter of time before it exploded irrespective of who assumed the office, it was meant to happen. All Nigeria needs right now is a good manager,which Buhari is doing arguably fine. And it's understandable to see some people wanting to rise against the Buhari force. How do you expect a system built on corruption, one that knows nothing but corruption, how do u expect it to support the fight against corruption? Nigeria needs overall hauling and cleansing, a long term one. But I tell you, Buhari is our best deal right now. Buhari, a Nigerian ready to fight corruption(a quality Atiku and the other oldies lack), who has been in d game of politics for a very long time(a quality Sowore and the new guys in the game lack)

I am all for anti corruption but my problem is that Buhari ignores the corruption allegations against his allies

I honestly expect the same thing I have expected from all levels of governance in Nigeria since I was born.

1. Pipe Borne clean water
2. A clean environment
3. Good roads
4 An education system that meets global standards
5. A thriving economy.
6. Security.
7. Steady electricity

However, expectations never come true in Nigeria and things will only get worse.

Let me come and be going back before they close the airport ni!

Generalnomercy:
And you're supporting Tinubu and Buhari?

APC hypocrites from Southwest

Check my post history! Nwanne! Oburo so this men ka anyi putalu uwa

We are tired of the same leaders!

tiwiex:
We all can't leave. If everyone left because of these issues, we have no country. What are you doing on NL anyway? Shebi u have left us. PS. I have made multiple trips to the US and was cajoled to stay after staying for 5 months. I didn't stay back. Naija no bad like that.

In as much as I dont doubt you refused to stay in USA. Saying Naija no bad like that is simply denying reality.

Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world
No roads
No electricity
No security
Substandard education system.

Please tell me on what metrics you base your claim that naija no bad like that on?

Double digit unemployment rates!

3kay945:
Leave to where bro?
Every body CANNOT leave.

That's why I said leave if you can.

I have said it to my friends of Facebook and I feel it is my responsibility to say it to the youth here.

Nigeria as a nation is a sinking ship. This country has never been great since the black man took over and mark my words will never be great.

I feel sorry for everyone who lives in Nigeria that has no means of leaving but if you have the means to leave, get out while you can.

How is that ordinary elections is rocket science for Nigeria? If we cannot organise ordinary elections, do you really think we can eventually effectively manage our economy, revamp our education system or invest in infrastructure.

If you take a long look at INEC, you can tell that even if they were 100% honest, they lack the project management skills to organise this election. The INEC staff members are themselves a product of the Nigerian society where nepotism wins excellence.



So my advice if you can leave Nigeria, please leave! I am grateful that I left

From #FeedMeJesus.com

One basic principle that determines if something should be considered as “Truth” or not in Bible interpretation, is that it must be “universal” in nature.

That is, if what we have believed and esteemed as “Truth” cannot be applied everywhere and to all persons but changes per individual or geographical location, it simply lacks the quality to be called “The Truth.”

For instance, Man can only be saved by Faith in Christ. This is constant and universal in nature. And so it is the Bible Truth about Salvation.

Whether you are black or white, rich or poor, short or tall, slim or not, you can only be saved through faith in Jesus’ sacrifice for your sins. This is the same in America, Africa or any other place on

You have failed to demonstrate how your first premise is true! What do you mean by this?


I agree with what you said though on the illogicality of the so called generational curse!

Do what is right! Live your life.

Hmm.

Being a celebrity doesn't guarantee love from other celebrities, on the contrary it generates hate or at best healthy rivalry. Your fans are the ones who love you, the other celebrities are your competitors.


Much love to Banky W! Would be my representative? YeS no yes no yes!!!!

This country is a zoo! I can't wait to leave on Saturday

Racoon:
It's possible because Buhari came to Lagos for two days and the trailers were cleared off those roads.I agree with Jim Agbaje, "it's just sheer wickedness and hypocrisy."

The trucks are symptomatic of the widespread decay in Nigeria. Nothing in Nigeria is planned for, everything just happens as we go.

This attitude of letting the country run without a plan has worked for so many years but as our population continues exploding , the effects of years of no planning is beginning to hit home.

it is a fact that the only dysfunctional port in Nigeria is Lagos. We do not have other means of moving importing goods to country except through the roads. No railway, no pipelines for transporting refined petrol.

How then do you want these trucks to disappear when they are all in one city cos of the port?

Until young people with foresight takes over Nigeria , this nonsense will never end.

When an uneducated dictator is packaged as a reformed Democrat, the saying a leopard cannot change its spots becomes clear and meaningful.

The zoo republic of Nigeria!

Yet supposedly educated people are excited that Buhari has granted law enforcement the right to shoot alleged election riggers.

The assumption is that these people are so upright that this huge power of Judge(determining who a rigger is) and executor (dishing out justice of killing) will not be abused.

Nigeria is a failed state and there is no hope for this country

Innocent until proven guilty is so alien to black monkeys. I spit on Africa.

Martinez39:
What?! So you people can recognise this fallacy yet you guys are often guilty of it.

Who are you people? Did I identify myself as anything?

frosbel2:
I remember yes - it ushered in the dark ages, the inquisitions and mass murder.

Ushered in the dark ages is an assumption that what was before was not the dark ages. I am not apologising for christianity but blaming christianity for the atrocities of men is dubious.

Would it make sense to say all Muslims are terrorists because a few has usurped Islam?

1Sharon:
You were never a real atheist to begin with. A real atheist will never abandon atheism for Christianity.

Baby atheist.

True Scotsman fallacy

Pointguardusa:
Ftc for the 4th time today. Kai I'M HEAVEN-BOUND OH.

They are right actually but this is stupid interference.

Trump is a teenager right? See the west knows how to disrespect Africa but it's not their fault. How many African countries send election observers to Europe? This is because they can manage themselves and Africans are still feeling like .........

I appreciate CNN but this is overboard .


I'M ATIKULATED.

You appreciate CNN? The fake news central of the world?

My 2 cents...

Religion will never become history as it is inherent in man to seek for answers to things he/she does not know. The origin of the universe and life being on top that list since the early days of men.

The philosophical nature of this problem means that it may not be answered by physical empirical science anytime soon but who knows what the future holds.

It is fair to say that even though many religions differ and in fact are archenemies of each other. One common thing observed is that most human societies believe is some sort of God or gods.

In all the faults of many organised religions , religion has also contributed immensely to the growth of the human society in various ways including ethics, common focus and improving community relations.

Currently, I do not subscribe to any organized religion but I too like the majority of humans on earth believe in an uncaused first cause

MrPRevailer:
If you don't believe rituals is real, then why are ritualists killing people and taking away their parts. What is it being used for? Why are the witchdoctors asking the money seekers to commit such highly egregious crime and endangering themselves. Whye they stealing women's pants. And this guy said it just happened in the area where he lives.

And on another occasion, a girl who they stole are pants started vomiting foreign currencies and 1000 nairanotes until deliverance minsters conducted deliverance on her and it ceased.

Athiests will see people telling first-hand experience and be like, you really believe those?

You don't understand what evidence means right? By the way , I am not an atheist but I still maintain a very scepticism . Nigeria is how it is because no one questions anything. Did you witness any of the pant juju? Hearsay is not enough evidence.

22brains:
man has but a little time on earth. i have studied my bible and found a trilling solution to the frequently asked question "when is this world coming to an end". the most shocking is age revolution! i traced the biblical generation backward starting from METHUSELAH down to this present age and my finding is this:::
1). The age revolution both of death and maturity: before, puberty starts at age 100. but now, at age 10, female have fully grown booby. is the generation degrading or upgrading? i realize that the more sin multiply on earth, the shorter our life span. its hard to live up to 100 these day.

2). Fulfilment of end time prophesies ::: nation shall rise against nation and children against their parents. there shall be famine, tribulation, the love for money and the faith of many shall wax cold. pant theft is a living proof. female pants were just stolen at gun point in my area. those that did not wear, they used handkerchief to wipe their P.P

This why people dont take some Christians seriously. Do you honestly believe what you wrote?

JasonScoolari:
Atleast there's still one "Sane Cow" among them who miraculously used his brain this time to quickly dispel the notion that it was the PDP who carried out the attack.

The PDP is a peace loving party and it has been shown in all our rallies nationwide unlike some demonic party who always record death, chaos and scores of injured N2000 supporter's.


This is just another clear indication that the APC is like a mad woman's underwear, "Nobody wan see dem"

God bless the PDP
God bless Atiku/Obi
God bless Bukky "Ronaldo" Saraki
God bless Baba OGD
God bless Ben Common Sense Bruce
God bless Nyesom "Messi" Wike
God bless Peter "Ibrahimovic" Fayose
God bless Aminu "Pogba" Tambuwal
God bless Ifeanyi "Salah" Okowa
God bless Chief James "OgheneRonaldinho" Ibori.

Chief Ibori? Are you fucking kidding me? Theres no hope for Nigeria

AgentOfAllah:
How can yo say the earth is perfectly fine-tuned for life? An earth that is perfectly fine-tuned for life wouldn't suffer from cataclysmic events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, volcanic eruptions, mass extinctions; it would neither have uninhabitable swathes of ice and sand deserts, nor predatory and parasitic lifeforms.
No, my "physicist" friend, this earth isn't "perfectly fine-tuned for life", it is just barely able to support certain lifeforms, and you will find that its entropic evolution is ambivalent towards the lifeforms which it harbours.

The fine tune argument sometimes appears lacking. I for example wonder why a perfect God will create a child with disabilities.

That being said, I always ask this question why is there something instead of nothing. Why did the universe begin at all? Why not nothing?

Unless this question is dismissed as trivial, carefully thinking about this will mean atheism is dead on arrival. The most sensible position will be agnosticism. And maybe deism.

It has to make sense why the universe exist.

AgentOfAllah:
Actually, you may be surprised to know that the 'big bang' can explain the origins of Oxygen to an astounding degree of accuracy. To understand the formation of elements, we first have to understand the events that led to their precursors. Although, the earliest time accounted for in the big bang theory is known as the Planck's epoch (approx. 10^-43 S). There is no known theory that describes the state of the universe at any time preceding this, so we'll skip that period. Moreover, it is not terribly important to the formation of elements, as such I'll just give you the gist in bullet points summary.

1) By extrapolation of known physical laws and observations (esp. general theory of relativity and universal expansion), we estimate that there was a state in which the universe was of infinitesimally small volume, extremely high and near isotropic temperature and quasi-homogeneous, high energy density.

2) At the extreme size, energy density and temperature, quantum fluctuations must have caused small random inhomogenieties in the energy distribution, which caused minute local variations in energy states across the whole volume.

3) A phase change brought about rapid expansion of the universe. As the universe expanded, it cooled and its energy density reduced. Remember the local energy fluctuations from quantum effects? These local fluctuations were uniformly distributed (in the same way the debris from a bomb would be uniformly distributed around its explosion radius). These fluctuations were the seeds that latter resulted in the formation of large scale space (LSS) objects, which I will get to later.

4) Bear in the mind that in spite of its cooling, the universe was still very very hot in the initial stages of expansion. Anywhere you have very high energy/temperature, particles and their antiparticles can pop in and out of existence randomly. These particles are fundamentally just energy redistribution from one excited state to another. As a result, there was a period where the universe was dominated by quarks and anti-quarks, electrons and anti-electrons and many other elementary particles.

5) There was a period, known as baryogenesis, where the number of quarks and electrons exceeded the number of anti-quarks and anti-electrons. The reason for this imbalance isn't well understood, but one of the leading hypotheses is that some forms of antimatter decayed out of existence before they could annihilate with their matter counterparts.

6) Recall the energy fluctuations I mentioned earlier? Well, the excess matter were distributed in the same manner as these fluctuations because they are just different excited states of the same energy, basically.

7) Now, as the universe cooled further, the excess quark matter started to clump in many different configurations to conserve energy. Two of the configurations are ones with which we are most familiar: protons (Up Up Down) and neutrons (Up Down Down). Thus our very first Ionized Hydrogen atoms (¹H⁺) were born! To a much smaller degree, the same process led to the creation of ²D (²D is for deuterium, a hydrogen with neutron) and ⁴He⁺ too. With further cooling, these atoms, which had excess positive charges started to trap electrons (negatively charged leptons) to balance out their excess positive charges.

8 ) But electric force wasn't the only force acting on these atoms. In fact, they were also experiencing gravitational pull from all other surrounding atoms. Luckily, the initial energy fluctuations meant some areas in the universe experienced more gravitational pull than others (due to presence of more atoms).

9) Eventually, large clouds of H, D and He gases started to clump around localised regions within the universe. As these clouds grew larger, the sum of all the atoms in them attained a critical mass known as Jeans mass. This is the mass at which gas clouds gravitationally collapse into a singular (spherical) LSS object. So great is this mass, that it forces the fusion of atomic nuclei (e.g. hydrogen nuclei and deutorium combining to form He-3 nuclei).

10) Now, let's say the binding energy of deuterium nucleus is E_D, that of a Hydrogen is E_H and that of helium-3 is E_He-3, you will see that E_H + E_D>E_He-3. Therefore, when D + H nuclei are combined to form a single helium-3 nuclei, we get:
²D + ¹H → ³He + E_H-He, where E_H-He = (M_D + M_H - M_He)c². (The famous E=mc² equation!!). This is called nucleosynthesis

11) E_H-He is difference in nuclear binding energy of the reactants, and it's the reason these spherical LSS objects we call stars glow brightly. E_H-He also exerts an outward force that counteracts the inward gravitational force until there is equilibrium.

12) Meanwhile, when the finite amount of H and D in the star is exhausted, the ⁴He nuclei inside the star start combining to form ¹²C in a process known as the triple-alpha process;
⁴He + ⁴He → ⁸Be
⁸Be + ⁴He → ¹²C

13) Finally, with enough ¹²C formed, we get the next stage of reactions;
¹²C + ⁴He → ¹⁶O + E_C-O

Behold! Oxygen

Besides this, there are also other cosmic events that synthesise various isotopes of oxygen, such as death of stars. This is story for another day, however.

For now, the key summary is that there is a clearly defined and well-understood process by which oxygen was formed from the big bang.

You skipped how the planets, galaxies stars and various moon was made.

Anyway the key question is from whence did the big bang come from. By definition anything that is outside of the big bang that caused it is beyond time and therefore eternal.

I call that thing God! The nature of that I do not know.

felixomor:
Wow. From atheist to agnostic to "I believe God exists"...

Wow
God be praised!

Atheist to a deist!

An agnostic says that the existence or nonexistence of God is unknown and unknowable

butterflylion:
Why and how do you believe God exists? Why must it be called God? Why not another name like DTHITA or MASHUTI?

Describe the God you believe exists.

This argument makes me laugh. Just call it the uncaused first cause. Cos it makes sense that there must a thing that existed from where everything came from that is in itself eternal.

Otherwise nothing ever existed.

Africa should be given back to white people. We are useless
