Is it in your book you read that from? Mary a teenage girl

the Bible says you should study to show your yourself approved. This is why I would rather troll you guys than discuss with you. Your heads are empty.

This is from Christianity.com and all Bible schoolers agree (people who know better than you will ever know) that Mary was about 14 years old when she gave birth to Jesus

Maturity is all needed here, I'm not here to abuse or fight anyone but to interact in a mature manner. Thank you

but it is maturity to qoute "a fool says in his heart there is no god" I don't see you condeming that comment.

RightChanneI:
I need mature minded atheists

you dont have to quote me. I am not here to do your bidding.

yewit37486:
Calm down, no need for the aggression.

there is need. He falsely accused the man of selling certificates

TheSourcerer:
hahaha , does this Mega God like my money too

she loves money and obsessed with sex like Yahweh

Mercury12:
Okay😂
I'm done here 🚶

don't be done. Gsgsgsgdgdbehdjdbdbdjdb loves you. S he wants you to be saved. You just have to belive she killed herself so she can forgive you of the sins you inherited from Adam and eve

budaatum:
That's because this lecturer sells certificates without the accompanying learning that empowers students to use their brains and minds.

Moral of the story is, ensure you buy learning, and not just the certificate.

shut the Bleep up. He is giving those students the talk they need to hear. Some people take certificates too seriously. He is not condemning eduction, It is different from certificate

Mercury12:
"My God"?

Mega God? I bet that is a new word for your fellow confused atheists to difficult to digest because they probably haven't heard it before or the idealogy behind it,😂 y'all confused selves. with different ideologies

But wait oooo
Aren't you an atheist?



Do you and your fellow atheists now believe in God or gods in the first place?

😂


One dumbo atheist in mud 😂

yes t he name of this mega God is ehdhdowosbwhwisvwjwosbsvwhshdvdhdisisb. Don't worry it is not made up. I and my friends wrote a book that proves she is real. Yes this God is a woman.

RightChanneI:
Psalm 14:1

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

and fools believe some goat herders book that says God came down from heaven to rape a teenage girl called Mary so she will give birth to God and so that God will die, so that He can Save us from Himself Sending Us to Hell. Sounds stupid right? Yet 100% describes your religion.
In case you don't know, mary gave birth to Jesus when she was 14 years old. That means she was 13 when God raped her

KnownUnknown:
Bad advice. They need to get off their damn knees and learn to exercise their freaking brains.

it is not an advice. It is meant to make them realize how useless prayers are. Prayers have never solved any real world problem.

Mercury12:
Are you by this way trying to create an atheist religion? 😂

yes. We worship the God that created the God that created your God. Would you like me to talk to you about this mega God?

Goalnaldo:
Seun is becoming more interactive

I like it.

EreluRoz:
May the blood of Jesus deliver all of you. I send you deliverance by the power of almighty to each and every one of you wherever you are. Be delivered in Jesus name amen

useless prayer. Use your prayers to solve real problems like the banditry in Nigeria.

I'm telling you that the so-called crayfish you eat in Nigeria contains krills, shrimps, small crabs and small prawns. It does not have crayfish in it at all because you cannot find crayfish in Africa, and crayfish look very different from the aforementioned crustaceans. This aside, there are Nigerian food products that has krills in them. Examples include Siam curry paste for cooking. We even have krill oil as a source of Omega 3 all over the country. So I don't know where you got the idea that Nigerians don't eat krills. You probably saw a fresh krill and you have no idea what it looks like when smoked.

Below is an image of smoked krill for reference. They look almost transparent when fresh but light brown when smoked.

ok. Thanks

etrange:
Dude, what are you saying? I never said the origin of the word crayfish is krill fish. I explicitly corrected the person that said that by stating that they are very different. I even pointed out the physical differences. So what are you on about?

And yes, Nigerians eat krill, prawns, shrimps and crabs. What they do not eat is crayfish, and that is because crayfish are not found in African waters.

show me a Nigerian dish made of krill

etrange:
No, sir. I'm sure your intention is to educate others, but your submission is wrong. Krill fish is very different from crayfish (also known as crawfish or crawdads here in North America). You're right, what we eat in Nigeria are krill fish and shrimps (the larger dark brown ones with less segmented body). And like somehow has already mentioned, you sometimes see prawns and even tiny crabs in the bag. What you will never see in there is the actual crayfish (the reason I'd below). Krill fish looks like small shrimps while crayfish looks more like small lobsters (that is, they also have pincers). However, they are very different and do not even look alike at all. Most importantly, Nigerians did not come up with the name, crayfish.

Fun fact 1: Because these crustacean taste alike and have similar nutritional values, people don't go the extra length of separating them by type when captured. Instead, they are separated by size. This is why you see krills and small shrimps together.

Fun fact 2: We do not have crayfish in African waters. This is the reason you don't see it amongst other crustaceans we buy together.

stop confusing people. You obviously have not seen krill before. Ask those who breed fingerings to show you what krill is. The origin of the word crayfish is not from krill.

etrange:
Crayfish do live in African waters, but they're eaten in countries where English is spoken as a first language. So we just say what they say without paying attention to the fact that what we have are krill fish and small shrimps.

my dad has a fish farm we use krill to feed the fingerlines. Nigerians don't eat krill, they are very tiny. The origin of the word is not from krill. Crayfish exists so we must have learned that word from colonial masters.

Blazebond:
Whether "prawns" o,"shrimps" o, "crayfish" o all are overrated rubbish.

overrated? Who have you seen over rating them?

Leykars:
Everybody just correcting everybody for this thread.
We don't even know which teacher to follow.


No green for anybody indeed!!!

follow that post above you. I think that was a good point he made

LordReed:
I think it has to do with the way pidgin English tends to try to simplify the English language so brand names or "interesting" names get used for all things of that type. For instance, all types of diapers are called 'Pampers', all seasoning cubes are 'Maggi', all satchet water is 'pure water'. Similarly all dried little crustaceans are 'crayfish'. I think it makes conversations on that level simpler by just conveying a general idea without going into details. If you say dat man dey wear Pampers, the idea you are conveying is the man wears diapers without being specific on what brand of diaper. Crayfish just captures the entire type too without going into specifics. No doubt ignorance plays into it since most people don't care to know the difference, in fact to most people they are as good as being the same.

yeah, I understand this. That is why I am asking, "if we don't eat crayfish (it is not popular in Nigeria) why do we call all these crustaceans crayfish? "

KingMack:
All I know is that if crayfish no enter my Indomiie e no dey complete 💯 ✅ ✅

shrimps or crayfish?

Mcreloaded:
The proper and right name for crayfish is Krill fish.
Surprised nobody mentioned krill fish which is the actual name for the crayfish we know.

I fact the name cray fish was coined from the real name krill fish by we Nigerians.
Google is your friend

wrong. We don't eat krill fish in Nigeria. Besides they are extremely small. They are better suited for feeding fishes. Look at the image below have you ever seen crayfish this small being sold in Nigeria? That is an adult krill fish and look how tiny it is

otipoju:
All tastes good. That is what matters!!!

knowledge always matters

Stephen0mozzy:
Hehe, right. Honestly just learning the difference now. I've often head the "shrimps" or "prawns" being thrown around maybe in a few conversations. But if you're hoping to get it at a market, you want to look for it using its generally adopted name

"Small crayfish" || "big crayfish"

I guess it's just one of those things with our Naija English that just got lot in translation and remained a defacto name due to popularity.

Interesting thread

Difference is. Prawn is straighter while shrimps are curved like letter "C"

Look at them side by side.
First are prawns, then shrimps then crayfish

Stephen0mozzy:
Interesting...
On a lighter note, but sha, if you've eaten crayfish like that before, you for know say we dey see some of these ones inside the "Naija" Crayfish sha.

true. Even small crabs go dey there 🦀

This is what crayfish looks like.

They have big claws and look like lobsters

These are shrimps

Almost 100% of Nigerian don't know what crayfish is. That thing you buy in the market is not crayfish. In fact most Nigerian have never seen what crayfish looks like.

This is not crayfish. These are prawns

Lonestar124:
The thing is there is my container of goods am expecting from turkey for all for almost seven months, it is has not arrived in the country I based, until yesterday, my sister instruct me to call one of her family pastor to pray for me.

I was little redundant, but I later called him, he told me the goods will arrived on Tuesday next week..

He chastised me to be giving my tithes, which I don't do, me I don't believe in all these things as an atheist, but am beginning to change my mind the way I understand God.

Can you believe my agent called me this morning that the goods has just arrived Liberia my Based..

This is a true life story, I can not call this miracle a coincidence as I usually do ..am still surprised it happens the way the man of God proclaim it.. there is spiritual power my people.

Tomorrow I will be giving this testimony in any church in location...our God is Merciful indeed.

Never doubt what God can do with his faithful servants.. enjoy your day my fellow Nairalanders.

arabs are far richer than religious Nigerians . China has more billionaires than Nigeria, India has more billionaires than you religious fools. Same with Japan. They don't worship your Jesus, they don't pay tithes. You are just one of the many stupid religious fools in Africa.

Accountability from who? A dead person? You should have demanded accountability when the man was still here.

death is not t he end of a matter. Mahatma Gandi was pedophile and was exposed after his death. Let it be on record tb Joshua was evil. Generations to come will know who he really was. No place for fake legacy
