Some one said they do missionary style sorry missionary work

Lovelydaisies:
You know what you're up to. Do look up their roles online or learn from the insightful comments made on the thread.

VaginaAcademic:
bro only in Africa 🤣

Lovelydaisies:
May God forgive you and help you too. Don't say what you're not sure of or have no proof of. Even if you do have some proof, know that it's not the majority.

Don't be in a hurry to criticize that which you know nothing about.

That's interesting.

A web search reveals that former UBA chair, late Bola Kuforiji Olubi held the title of Otunba Ayora of Ijebu Ode. A former CIBN governing council chair, Mrs. Bosede Osibogun, is also the Yeye Otunba Obaloja of Ijebu. There are probably others.

Could you clarify?

Have you finally checked your sugar level?

Sanoske360:
By the way, are you a Christian if you are l see no reason for you to think that the story of job is fiction. My friend is real not fiction.

Sanoske360:
go and read the story of job in the Bible, there is a world for the Dead. The coldness of death is more rewarding than eternal life.

Uncle ! Your IQ level just can't relate to what I'm saying or what ?

No pun intended, but your argument collapses under basic math. NASA's entire annual budget is about $25 billion, which sounds huge until you realize the U.S. federal budget is over $6 trillion. That's less than half a percent. Even if you redirected every single dollar from NASA to homelessness or hunger, it wouldn't solve either problem,because those issues require systemic political solutions, not spare change from space.

Meanwhile, the technology developed by NASA has already improved life on Earth in ways you take for granted: memory foam, water purification systems, solar panels, insulin pumps, CAT scanners, freeze-dried food, firefighting gear, and even the camera in your phone. Every dollar spent in space returns roughly $7 to the economy through innovation and spin-off tech.

So the real waste isn't NASA. It's arguing against science while ignoring the corrupt politicians in your own country who steal billions of dollars annually,money that could actually feed kids, provide portable water, and house the displaced. Focus your anger there, not on a space agency that's too busy advancing humanity to notice your deflection.

What's the IQ level of the average Nigerian again?

BrickandLace:
Maybe an Erelu

That’s an emotional appeal, not a logical one. By that standard, we should shut down every field of human endeavor that isn't directly feeding a starving child right now,no sports, no movies, no video games, no luxury cars, no art, no vacations, no smartphone manufacturing, and certainly no funding for military defense or space research. But you don't apply that logic consistently, do you? You only use it when you want to dismiss American achievement.

The reality is, space exploration isn't about finding a 'resort in space.' It's about advancing technology that solves problems right here on Earth. Water detection on the moon leads to better filtration and recycling systems used in drought-stricken regions. Satellite tech from NASA helps track crop failure, predict famine, coordinate disaster relief for people in Gaza, Ukraine, and Nigeria. GPS, weather forecasting, and communication networks,all derived from space investment, save more lives annually than most aid programs.

The billions spent on NASA amount to less than 0.5% of the U.S. federal budget. For context, Americans spend more on Halloween candy and pet food each year. Meanwhile, homelessness, hunger, and war persist not because NASA exists, but because of political corruption, resource hoarding, and failed governance,including in Nigeria, where your own leaders embezzle far more than NASA's annual budget.

So sir ! don't blame science for saving the future while ignoring your (Nigerian) leaders robbing the present. And don't deflect from the original point: you ignored a historic moon mission not because you care about starving kids, but because it was American

antimater:
NASA isn't responsible for homelessness, just as the postal service isn't responsible for potholes. That's a category error. NASA is responsible for space exploration, aeronautics, and scientific research,things like landing rovers on Mars, discovering water on the moon, operating the James Webb Telescope, and advancing GPS, weather forecasting, and satellite communications that you use every day. Homelessness is a complex socioeconomic issue tied to housing policy, mental health services, local governance, and income inequality. Expecting NASA to solve it is like blaming the fire department for crime rates. You're changing the subject because you can't refute the original point: that a historic NASA moon mission got ignored due to anti-American bias, while Middle East conflicts,where the U.S. and Israel are involved,get constant front-page attention. Stay on topic sir
