XOGBADO:

Please is this how Liberian women look?

But them dey fvck

chloride6:
I should be able to sleep when i please in as much as i do not inconvenience you.

Wouldn't you rather do the same?

You are inconveniencing people by insisting they inconvenience themselves by sleeping in heat at night especially in a country where the government does not supply constant power and people have to provide it for themselves.

Why don't you channel your energy into a bill that makes it compulsory for power companies to provide 24 hours electricity instead?

As someone above already mentioned generators will die a natural death

chloride6:
1. I do not even possess a passport.

I find your pattern of thinking shallow and alarming?

A good rechargeable fan costs less than N20,000.00, far less than a generating set...

The fact that there is no light does not give you the right to run your generator all night....

You have no right to inconvenience me in a bid to solve your problems, that is not just stupid its selfish.

Imagine a situation where everyone left their generating sets all night just because of the heat.....

If you must solve your issues, don't do it at my detriment...

Why can't you be considerate and sleep in the afternoon so that people who don't want to sleep in the heat can do that in peace?

hopefulLandlord:
is it white?

It is Ajax in color

Nigerians are taxophobic.

No one wants to fund the next Dubai trip of a pot bellied politician's latest slay queen

So na her mama be "babes"?

No one deserves to be in an abusive relationship

Just say the whole Lagos

And you didn't add the Mile 2 - Festac - Badagry route

dochenaj:
Marriage is like being part of a team and interestingly since we are Africans we largely maintain the traditionalist view where the team leader is the man. If you can agree to that analogy then you would know that a team leader should be able to have the respect and admiration of his team members and any team lead that doesn't has failed.

And that is why I opine that the man who cannot earn and maintain the respect of the wife and kids is a failure.

Let me assume my mother infuriates my wife and she is at the very brink of boiling over, all I will say is "Lib, I understand that you're upset and do have a right to be, but it is okay" and I'm certain she will just let it slide because she respects me.

Using your analogy of being in a team I will point out that a team leader cannot always control the actions of his team member.

If you have an understanding wife then it's cool. How about if you have a wife that gets more and more agitated when you try to caution her. Of course in the beginning she might be respectful but later she starts questioning your authority and such.

In relationships we deal with other humans and unless a human wants to change there is really nothing you can do about it.

You said you are certain your wife will yield but what if she doesn't? Will you beat her? Will you kick her out of your house.

What if you lose your source of income and your sweet wife suddenly becomes controlling because she is now bringing bread to the table? What will you do then?

Remember that the guy in the op and his wide are abroad and not in Nigeria.

Lol. The self delusion of an average gambler is second to none

dochenaj:
I do know, some wives can be intolerable. That is not my point, my issue is with the man who chose to wash his dirty linens outside by not only filming the encounter but also publishing it on the internet.

No one knows how far he has been pushed

And let me also state this, the man who marries a contentious woman should share some blame in her recalcitrant behavior.

How and why?

TechCapon:
don't mind those kids on nairaland. Even in advanced countries, people still go to eateries and shopping malls just to use free wifi.

You know say packaging don kill everyone for naija.

Screenshot the people yabbing you. When you blow use it as your come up story

badadvice:
See as dem change topic from youngest billionaire to tech capon wey dey use free basic.
nigerians are wicked i swear!

A whole TechCapon my G

dochenaj:
Why did the video make it to the internet? Proof for who? For the world to see how uncultured your wife is? And how you're not able to rein in your wife, who should listen to you?

The man is an embarrassment.

Bro you won't understand until you've lived with a woman. Women can be sweet and cute until after they get married and start acting up especially Nigerian women whose husbands take them abroad.

Since they are abroad he can't hit her or kick her out of the house without facing repercussions.

We don't know the full details but I can guarantee you that living with and marrying a woman is not as easy as it seems.

Pictures?

That guy injecting himself with oil is just mad

Can't this god just get a job and save us the trouble?

What does god use the money for anyways?

Reeb2244:
What they do most is yelling. They can yell a lot.

They spank too

donstan18:
The disrespectful wife insulted her mother-inlaw because she knows how foolish her husband is.

And yes, the husband proved his foolishness by recording and filming them instead of cautioning his wife.

Do you really think that is the first time she is doing something like that? He is probably filming to have proof of her behaviour

Pavore9:
Flogging na public school teachers' format, e dey sweet dem die!

Flogging is an African thing. Even African Americans flog their kids

Pavore9:
Get the authorities involved as a deterrent to others. I often wonder about our teachers in Primary and Secondary schools who so much believe in canes, should they finds themselves outside Nigeria teaching where canes are not allowed, how will they cope?

First of all flogging is not against the law in Nigeria. Many Nigerians are fond of praising their parents for flogging them.

Nigerians are good at adapting as long as the pay is right

Ratello:
May God have mercy on you! (Amen)

Seriously think about it. God is everywhere at every time watching everything therefore since most sexual activities happen at night it watches ALL of them.

Kai see enjoyment

I serve the one and true god the Almighty holy puff puff

chival:
Laughed hard at this. May God forgive you. Nigerians and creative insults.

Is awa work o

donstan18:
The best way to vote in Nigeria is to stay at home.

The best place to be a good Nigerian is from another country

Who knows of any lasting solution to mouth odour?

Brush twice a day and eat garlic

kevoh:
This stuff happened to me in 2013 or 2014. Ibadan to Abuja bus! This girl sang out loud in her croaky voice till she managed to doze off, only to resume when she woke up.

Hahaha. You should have just told her, "madam, your voice is ugly"

I remember a long time ago when I was travelling from Lagos to Benin and there was this woman at the back with three daughters. For most of the journey she kept spanking the kids for no reason. Obviously she was transferring her aggression on them.

At a point I looked back and I said,"madam, how long will you continue beating those kids like they are your mates?" And that was how she stopped beating them.

Funny enough everyone else was quiet about it. Nigerians have this natural ability to not care when something is not affecting them directly

kevoh:
@OP, you forgot the idiots that will be listening to music with earphones but still sing out loud, disturbing the bus with their frog voice!

I can't even remember the last time I entered a bus in Lag

johnydon22:
Wait till you discuss with people who make it expressly clear they are talking about any particular God.

Or it is a strawman fallacy to bring that up in an argument that doesn't mention or imply either.

I have never met such people. There are more Christians and Muslims around where I live.

No, it doesn't.

You are assuming

1. Suffering is objectively bad
2. Natural tragedies are flaws
3. Intellect means you must be a certain way

Thats is just laughable.

Isn't the whole concept of a designer a mere assumption? Aren't there thousands of descriptions of this designer based on thousands of assumptions? Is there a right way to assume what god is?

Intelligent design means things are meant to be the way the designer wants it, you are also assuming

1. The designer mustn't want this to be this way
2. The designer operates on a similar moral constraints as it's creations.

Another laughable assumption

Not if the said designer describes itself through it's holy books in ways that contradict with it's actions.

The premise of this thresd is If the assumed creator is designed or a product of chance.

This is not about the universe being designed or not.

Seriously?

Well obviously the assumed creator is a product of assumption

Don't be obsessed with Allah and Jehovah.

I live in a country where majority of people worship these gods are ready to humiliate and even kill people who don't believe in them too.

It would be stupid not to expect me not to take it serious

God watches a lot of porn at midnight

johnydon22:
When people say God they don't necessarily mean the Christian or Muslim God.

Well in the country where I live, Nigeria, those are the two gods people refer to mostly.

Again, tragedies do not negate design, in fact one can even argue that natural evils are necessary, i hold this very position.

But tragedies negate intelligent design. The mere fact that a designer can create suffering shows it is not intelligent

And then again your argument is assuming that these things you mentioned are wrong objectively.

How exactly?

But there is absolutely nothing that suggests tragedies as a negation for design.

We are talking about intelligent design.

The premise of the thread isn't addressing whether this universe was designed or not - but your argument seems to be addressing this rather than the question.

The premise of this thread is probing the proposed designer by the second branch of the universal causality school of thought.

The premise operates under the assumption that there is a designer then asks people who subscribe to this idea if this designer came by chance or is a product of design since it meet certain precise criterias.

So, this is not about whether the universe was designed or not. You are in fact missing something.

Cool. I'd like to see what those people who don't subscribe to Allah or Jehovah have to say about it then

johnydon22:
Uuuhm seriously hahn you got to know that this isn't really the premise of the thread.

But on a curious note: do you think plane crash is evidence that the plane wasn't intelligently designed? Cus you seem to be making an argument that tragedy refutes the design argument which sadly is a very flawed argument.

How so?

You comparing man made devices or actions by men to a supreme being that is supposed to be omni-everything is the actual flaw.

A plane manufacturer does not claim to know everything about the plane before he has even created it whereas an omniscient god does.

When the plane takes off the manufacturer does not know if it will crash. When planes crashes usually it comes as a surprise. No one in their right minds will let a plane they know perfectly well will crash take off filled with passengers in the first place.

After the plane crash the plane manufacturer studies the mishap with the hope of building future planes that won't crash.

God claims to know everything. It claims it is all loving. All powerful etc. It knows when a baby is born and it knows if the baby will die of disease or poverty but DOES NOTHING to stop or prevent it. Women get raped and this god that claims to be everywhere at everytime sits back and watches and does nothing. Even after the repetition over centuries of disasters and choas this god has done nothing to improve on it's creation.

It still creates people who are prone to hate, a world prone to disaster and suffering.

How is this intelligent?

PS: I am referring to characteristics of the Islamic and christian gods here as claimed by their followers.

And how isn't this the premise of the thread?

The question on my topic isn't referring to the universe itself but to the intelligent designer proposed by the second branch.

There are also degrees of precision such a force or being must reach for this to be possible.

1. Precisely intelligent enough
2. Precisely powerful enough
3. Precisely exist in a form that can influence matter
4. Precisely have a will to design a universe

See? There are also some precise values this creator supposedly should reach as an entity.

Hence the question, is the precision of the creator (designer) the work of an intelligence external to it or is it by sheer chance?

Am I missing something?

Let me try and make small sense.

Johnny my guy don't see this as trolling

The way I see it humans have always leaned to the narrative that "someone" must have created the earth simply because as a species we like to consider ourselves special than other creatures.

I have always wondered why since there have been lots of species before us and there are other animals who possess physical attributes we can only dream of like flight, speed, cellular regeneration etc we still see ourselves as "special" especially when you consider how vulnerable we are to nature, the fact that we are prone to die from the smallest of diseases.

Instead of saying "someone" did it we can all consider the possibility instead of "something" like events as the creator of the universe?

My argument is there can't be an "intelligent" designer because by considering death, diseases, suffering, loss, struggle, sickness, rape etc it is safer to say that if there is a designer it is far from being intelligent but closer to psychopathic and very much less concerned about it's creation.

However if we say that events, like evolution suggests, is responsible for existence then it is more plausible because the we don't have to attribute intelligence to it which will explain why the world is the way it is.

If there is an intelligent being capable of creating the universe this universe, especially earth, would not be this fvcked up. Pardon my French
