Education / Re: My Lecturer Cited "Nairaland" In His Book. by greenskittles: 4:18pm On Mar 29, 2021
Big yikes if that person is teaching you. For starters, you don't cite sources that aren't authorities on a subject. Imagine me wanting to publish a paper on COVID-19 and then I start citing what one John Doe said on Facebook as proof that my research is correct. No matter how convincing it sounds, you don't cite if it's not a peer reviewed source. That's without even paying attention to the way he cited it, or the horrible grammatical errors in that page. Wahala dey for Nigerian education o grin

Aaronsrod:
Mungo Park was the first true Christian to enter that part. So he indeed discovered the land and its people in the eyes of God for the first time.
Listen to yourself. So God had nothing to do with black people until our white "saviors" came for us? The same Europeans that enslaved us? The indigenes there were the eyes of Satan or what?

How is this any different from the guy that made it to the fp a few days ago who claimed to dry fast for 9 days in the wilderness (he was lying)?

Religion / Re: What Happened To Me When I Attempted A Forty-day Dry Fast In The Wilderness by greenskittles: 11:43am On Mar 07, 2021
This is a lot to unpack. Most likely make believe.

1. The human body of a typical person can only go 3-4 days without water. This can be extended from 8-21 days in IDEAL conditions. But this one said he was out in the wild, in the sun, where he would've lost more bodily fluids to sweat than the average person. With the weather conditions they described, getting to the 3 day mark and having strength to even move would be a miracle. This man said he stayed for 9!!!! days. Lol.


2. After the so called 9 days of dry fasting, this person was able to even have strength to walk around and apparently walked quite a distance before finally having to "roll" down the hill to his house. Like I said earlier, having this kind of strength would be impossible under ideal conditions, let alone living in the wilderness.


3. After getting back, they immediately ate rice and pure water. And didn't die. Lol. Have you read about the Jews who were starved for days in concentration camps? When WW2 ended, and some were liberated, some died because they ate a lot of food too soon. After not eating for that long, suddenly rushing your body with food could lead to a sharp electrolyte imbalance which causes death. People who have been starved for days are usually refed under supervision of medical professionals and sometimes even need to go for days before their bodies can even process liquid soup. This guy said he ate white rice and stew!!!


4. The mental capacity of someone in a dry fast greatly deteriorates by the time their body starts to feed on their muscle mass, and they begin experiencing hallucinations. OP was in a completely sound mental state when they decided to leave the 'wilderness' according to the story.



There are holes in this story and this only reeks of desperation to win converts. When you even have the mental courage to even consider entering a fasting competition with the person you believe to be your creator (attempting to do the same thing that Jesus supposedly did), it's no surprise that they'd most likely end up being a liar too. He's even calling himself Jesus jnr, maybe he thinks he's the second coming of Christ.


It's sad that the black man has decided to internalize a religion that many of the original creators have even abandoned. God loves you so much that he sent your slave masters who stole your land, killed your men, and raped your women, to teach you about who he is. He didn't deem you worthy enough to speak to directly and instead chose to communicate with white people, and ask them to pass on his message to you.

Education / Re: This Is Simple JSS1 Work The Math TextBook & Teacher Failed It. Can You Get i? by greenskittles: 9:44pm On Mar 06, 2021
Its a ridiculous question in the first place. If the topic being taught is simple division then why would they give a question with an answer of x != 0. There's even no way to justify the teacher saying the student is wrong. It would take nothing for the teacher to just say "okay students, this question wasn't a good question for you guys, so its a bonus" if they know that the students cannot yet comprehend the actual answer. So the teacher who said that nonsense just raised red flags about the school and if I were a parent I would start paying more attention to the child's other school work to make sure they're actually being taught well.

Gang90:


Let me tell you a little story, 4 years back a jambite about 19 years back then was staying over in my house as she came from Lagos within two days of her stay she was in love with me, I don't seem to notice much, next day I saw her wearing my track suite, that was the end of it, I wanted to tell to have it but while leaving she dropped it, I threw it into the waste bin right away, you need to understand the challenge, I'm facing right now, is not on telling her to wash it, if I do that I'm disrespecting my brother, if my brother was did not take her to my room is she stupid, wife or not, I'm only calm becuase she's not the only culprit, if she was the only culprit, I will not mention a word before she picks it wash it and dry it is she stupid, does being her husband place give her any right to contaminate my room.

Bro I'm a strict person, If my brother is not around or let's say she can't try it on her own, lol if I move out of my brothers house it won't end there and I don't have issue with him, if I move out of there many more cases will arise
Room that you're not paying rent for. Interesting.

When it's time for a protest to happen, nobody will need to tell anyone else. For now let's keep suffering and smiling. It's clearly not time yet. In Myanmar nobody's complaining about people blocking the roads so they can go to work na. Lol. If we have to wait for things to get that bad then so be it.

It's not about the shadow figure per se, it's the fact that people you know are the ones in the videos. Why do you think men ask women for nudes even when there are billions of free porn videos to watch? It's the intimacy that comes with seeing someone you relate to regularly, almost nekkid.

Religion / Re: Prophet Onyeze Jesus: 'I Will Raise Dead Bodies On The 28 Of January' by greenskittles: 11:31am On Jan 27, 2021
Whenever I hear Pastors brag like this I wonder if they even read the Bible. As an ex-Christian, I still notice how they contradict the very teachings they claim to uphold. Moses supposedly didn't enter the Promised Land because he claimed "he" was the one bringing water from the rock at the waters of Meribah (instead of God) and thus flouted the orders given to him by striking it twice. So whenever I hear a Pastor saying "I will do this", or "I did that", it just shows they're not good enough at their act. Lol.

This is just harmless puppy love. And some people are saying you should beat her. Beat her for what? Is she a goat? Haba. It won't go beyond letter writing at this age and if you're open with her about it you'll get to know if anything inappropriate is happening directly from her yourself and nip it in the bud.

Let's assume he makes $20 per hour.

If he works for 6 hours per day, that's $120

If he works for 20 days in a month, that's $2,400

If he sends me the $400 on top at the rate of N420 per $, that's N168, 000.


Uncle, ride on sir! We are behind you.
The way you guys just call money sha. If he's not in California, I don't know where in the US a dishwasher will be paid $20/hr. Right now they're even begging President Biden for $15/hour minimum wage.

thesicilian:
Calling one person "they" does not, has never, and will never make sense to me.
What do you call a person when you don't know their gender? (See, I just did it. It's not that hard to understand). A few more examples for you:

Someone came into my house and they ate all my food.

Tell whoever is making noise that if they don't shut up they're going to be in trouble.

You use 'they' to refer to one person everyday, and I'm just going to assume you didn't realize it and are not just intentionally being bigoted. LGBT people in Nigeria get enough stick for being who they are because you guys claim that God didn't create them that way. But now some people still want to extend the same hate to Intersex people who CLEARLY were created the way they are by God, evident by their sexual organs/genit@lia.

NaBanga:
Nigerians do not understand racism. It is expected due to their situations. However this has nothing to do with Trump liking anyone, let alone black people. Those pardons were paid for. Bribery exists in America, but because it is the United States, you as a poor Nigerian don't understand how it happens. Trump said out of his own mouth that pardons were $2 million dollars (2,000,000 DOLLARS). No one is transporting bullion vans to Trump's home. The way Americans do things is done under the guise of "civilization". Nigerians are just learners in this world.
Imagine someone showing a photo op of Trump with black people as proof that he's not racist. Lmao.
