As long as there is poverty, voodooism, intolerance, religious extremism which are characteristics of politics in Africa; there won't be anything like democracy.
I still have a feeling that Africans can do so well under disciplined military regimes. Just my thoughts.

those are definitely factors, but lets face it it'll take what?50 years before its kind of eradicated? I can't wait that long, you only get one life.

Really I think the solution is or at least to an extent is,
Homogeneous countries.
Violent revolution, to remove those idiots who feel that they are anointed by "god" to rule. Obviously they won't leave peacefully. Si vis pacem parabellum.
Education and I cannot stress this enough
Non religion, officially secular society.
Better prisons, maybe the enforcement of the death penalty for those engaging in voodoo and human part, to deter the fuckers.
Democratic Socialism.
Redistribution of land and wealth. Obviously from the looters.

Lets be realistic though, will a purely peaceful path to democracy get us there? In Africa/Nigeria? Can there be revolution in Nigeria, peaceful or not?

lol, Id say no. So Id say I'll look out for solely my interests in the meantime, since I've mostly given up hope for Africa/Nigeria getting past these issues for a very long time.

outlaws:


A lot of Nigerians are tired of the same old politicians ruling the nation. Now, there are some women president in Africa and in some western nations. So is it time that Nigerian women get their acts together to heal this country? There is a saying that women cares. So if Nigeria have a woman as a president, she will care and not be a greedy selfish good for nothing like the other past presidents have shown.

Yeah because females are incapable of corruption or greed.

yeah I've seen this one before, It always cracks me up when the Rev stands up because he can't argue.

girl22:
africans and african americans need to stop arguing and unite.

ya'll need to google "elimation theory book" Mknaomi negroes"

ya'll quit arguing

lol, what the hell is "elimation" theory? unite based on what? skin color?
btw Aryans=Persians

Kobojunkie:
Sure, Nigerian government has it's flaws so life is great in Nigeria then. We should not bother changing anything cause every government has it's flaws. Infact, Zimbabweans should not worry going to the polls tommorow cause every government in the world has it's flaws and so no need to push to change things asap.

Maybe I should rephrase that,
every government considered "good" or good has its flaws. I did not say they should not change. Did you even read my previous post?

Like I said the government has it flaws, in fact every government has its flaws.

I think Cuba's government works fine, sure it has its flaws and it needs to drop unnecessary restrictions but it definitely works. I mean compare Cuba with other Latin American countries.

Si vis pacem para bellum. I think the war would have happened anyway though, whether Bush invaded Iraq or not, afterall Saddam had to die sometime and like all dictatorship governments the government and middle class are weakened. After Saddam died there would have been a massive power struggle eventually erupting in war, but thats by the way. The point is, it was not the U.S place to invade Iraq and it was done under false pretense i.e Terrorism. The government lied to its people in order to achieve a selfish goal. Bush shouldn't be prosecuted for war crimes, I mean what war crimes are you going to prosecute him for exactly? and besides it not my place to suggest what the American people should do to their president since I'm neither Iraqi nor American.

This is Cheney in '94

One that readily comes to mind is the boomerang.

Yeah thats very impressive.

hns:
i should never blame the goat for eating the grass in the bush;neither should i blame a dog for biting a criminal.if i blame u for the philosophical statements u've made ,then i think i will be making a mistake.First this shows that u don't believe in Jesus.this is very bad;that u can come out on internet to speak against God,THE CONSUMING FIRE shows the point u've reached in your sins and tresspasses.i have personally asked Jesus into my life and oh, i need to tell u the joy that filled my soul.i became so confident and felt like i should serve the LORD for ever.you know so much history yet it seems u don't know the end of atheists,BAD END.some of them die confessing that the greatest mistake they ever made was refusing to believe in Jesus.i pray u don't end that way.if u think i am lying,go check the pages of history that u 'KNOW SO MUCH'.some were on the dying bed and their cries was that of salvation from the pangs of hell.REMEMBER You CANT FIGHT GOD AND WIN.bros go to the same history books and find out the fate of 'THE SINNER IN THE HAND OF AN ANGRY GOD'

lulz, always hearsay with these people. lmao what history book did you see that in exactly? Last line of defense always threats about hell, so much for your loving god eh?

Cassiel:
Abeg,i suggest every wise,time-conscious person abandon this thread for Mr sun god.Nothing you say to him is going to make any difference,so what's the point?
[/i]

I think the thread is interesting, always nice seeing Christians attempt to defend their beliefs when there is no logical basis for it. Of course in the end, they always resort to calling those who dont believe in "God" fools. Of course the proverbs your quoting were written by a man who had over a 1000 wives and concubines, and the psalms were written by a man who killed his friend so he could get his wife.

Its simple, inconsistencies are stated attempt to defend them, if you cant then say so and admit your bible is wrong. Afterall it claims to be the "word of God" and the word of God is perfect no?

Frizy:
In the Qu'ran itself, within some of its chapters, it foretells events in the future that have come true; these are more commonly known as “prophecies”.

It tells the story of the Exodus from Egypt, in which Moses and the Hebrews enslaved to the Pharaoh of the time escape -

“We delivered the Children of Israel across the sea. Pharaoh and his troops pursued them, aggressively and sinfully. When drowning became a reality for him, he said, “I believe there is no god except in the One whom the Children of Israel have believed; I am of those who submit. Too late! For you have rebelled already, and chose to be a transgressor.We preserve your body, to set you up as a lesson for future generations. Verily, many among mankind are totally oblivious to Our signs.” (Holy The Great Book, from 10:90 to 10:92)

As you can see from the above passage, The The Great Book prophesises that the body of the Pharaoh will be preserved for future generations.

This was proved correct when the mummy of Merneptah (the Pharaoh of the Exodus) was discovered well preserved in 1898, and it can be seen on display in the Royal Mummies Room of the Egyptian Museum, here in Cairo.

Even though, this event occurred over 3000 years ago (more than 1600 years before The Great Prophet) according to both archaeological and Biblical data, the author of The The Great Book predicted that the body of the Pharaoh would be preserved as a sign for future generations, which is nowhere to be found in the Biblical version.

So this is your basis for the connotation of the Qu'ran with science? lol

bawomolo:
i'm atheist but i am baptist. science gives a much better explanation of how the earth works compared to the holy books of today.

aww hard to get

yeah dude, how exactly does that work? being atheist and baptist at the same time?

May kelly:
The HOLY BIBLE and Science do not have any thing in COMMON. Science is a man research whereas the HOLY BIBLE is the WORD OF GOD. I rather say that Science is irelevant to the things written in the "HOLY BIBLE which was the TRUE WORD OF GOD - and the only certified and comfirmed HOLY BOOK.

How do you know the bible is the "word of God" how exactly does one verify that? I thought the Bible was written by men who "claimed" to be inspired by God? Do you just take their word for it rather than question it? Science is irrelevant to things written in the word of God, because science and its applications are actually relevant to humans, science refers to any systematic knowledge or practice or practice, one might call it the pursuit of knowledge, I however fail to see how Tehhhh holy bible helps us pursue knowledge rather it preys on people, taking away their ability to think for themselves. That's why you have people trying to defend such idiocies like Noah's ark, the creation story and of course the malignant Narcissist of a god that it promotes. The difference between the bible and science is that science is forever going forward while the bible is forever stagnant wallowing in ignorance and preying on the fear and insecurities of those who believe in it. If people take from the bible what they will, like the message of love, forgiveness and all the ooey gooey stuff that would be perfectly okay, but 80% of the bible is filled with contradictions of how God loves you and at the same time wants to kill you, and this is just laughable to me.

babamutu:
Both races are intelligent; it's the statistics you should check.

Obviously there are intelligent people in all races/people with above average IQ in all races. I just think that whites and Asians are represented more in the above average range than blacks are, Asians are represented more than whites and whites represented more than blacks, same thing with fertility, body development and sexual prowess blacks are at the higher end of the spectrum here, whites in the middle and Asians at the lower end, that doesn't mean that there are blacks who arent average or Asians who aren't above average. This is my opinion based on what Ive read and studied. I really do think science needs to study and put this topic to rest once and for all. In the end I think it comes down to the individual level rather than "collective" aka "race" but of course people are not willing to think along those lines. Of course this theory has a lot of loopholes since it doesn't account for Native American and Semitic populations (Jews, Arabs) and other Eastern peoples, I dont know if we can consider them separate races?

Spencer1:
The most intelligent race seems to me to be the white race and the black race at the other end of the race spectrum. Do you agree or not. Your comments please.

Controversial, but I have to say I think it deals with "the average" more than anything for example you could say the average white is smarter than the average black, the average black is stronger or more endowed sexually than the average white. It doesn't mean that all whites are smarter than blacks of course some blacks will go over the spectrum or whites in the other case, but I think it deals with averages more than anything.

TRUE RECORD ABOUT NOAH AND THE ARK -
GOD IS THE GOD OF IMPOSSIBLITY

Genesis 7:1
[ The Flood ] Then the LORD said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be [Gen 6:9] righteous before Me in this time.

Genesis 7:7
Then [Gen 6:18; 7:13; Matt 24:38; Luke 17:27] Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood.

Genesis 7:9
there went into the ark to Noah by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

Genesis 7:13
On the very same day [Gen 6:18; 7:7] Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,

Genesis 7:15
So they went into the ark to Noah, [Gen 6:19; 7:9] by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life.

Genesis 7:23
Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only [Matt 24:38, 39; Luke 17:26, 27; Heb 11:7; 1 Pet 3:20; 2 Pet 2:5] Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.

Genesis 8:1
[ The Flood Subsides ] But [Gen 19:29; Ex 2:24; 1 Sam 1:19; Ps 105:42] God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and [Ex 14:21; 15:10; Job 12:15; Ps 29:10; Is 44:27; Nah 1:4] God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.

Genesis 8:6
Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the [Gen 6:16] window of the ark which he had made;

Genesis 8:13
Now it came about in the [Gen 7:6] six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up.

Genesis 9:18
Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and [Gen 9:25-27; 10:6] Ham was the father of Canaan.

Matthew 24:38
"For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, [Matt 22:30] marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that [Gen 7:7] Noah entered the ark,

Luke 17:27
they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

Hebrews 11:7
By faith [Gen 6:13-22] Noah, being [Heb 8:5] warned by God about [Heb 11:1] things not yet seen, [Heb 5:7] in reverence [1 Pet 3:20] prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of [Gen 6:9; Ezek 14:14, 20; Rom 4:13; 9:30] the righteousness which is according to faith.

1 Peter 3:20
who once were disobedient, when the [Rom 2:4] patience of God [Gen 6:3, 5, 13] kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of [Heb 11:7] the ark, in which a few, that is, [Gen 8:18; 2 Pet 2:5] eight [Acts 2:41; 1 Pet 1:9, 22; 2:25; 4:19] persons, were brought safely through the water.

Thank you very much for using The Bible to prove that a Biblical story indeed happened "IRL" (in real life). Thank you, because now I believe due to the fact that it's written in the bible, lol not because its implausible but because it's written in a story book.

uchkochi:
HEAVEN IS AS REAL AS THE AIR THAT You BREATHE,salvation is personal but the reason for salvation is not personal,you are born again to help others find the way to God.JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.HE is not a way,rosary is a way,confessing to a rev father is a way.But there is a way that seems right but the end of it is death.Find the way the way is Jesus Christ.please i beg u do not in any way group CHRISTIANITY AS A RELIGION OR BELIEF ITS NOT its a relationship with GOD your maker you did not create your self.God talks to me consistently By His Spirit.I hear His voice.How can the one that gave you life not Exist.
IF YOU MUST KNOW IF HEAVEN IS REAL DIE AND SEE WHERE YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF EITHER IN HELL OR HEAVEN.Have you not heard of the rich man and lazarus,that is not a parable because Jesus Christ used names unlike every other parables.
If you must know how this concerns me,it does because i attended a catholic school at a time in my growing up days.I know the in and out.
TRUTH IS BITTER BUT BECOMES SWEET WHEN SWALLOWED NOT JUST EATEN.AND for JAY FK the person that said i called the vagina a cow head go through that post again i said that,pre marital sex is one of the ways through which the devil gets blood to attack his victims and uses the vagina as a medium.
Change is coming if the terrorist can die for what they believe, i am ready to die because Jesus is even more real than my own life.

You should seriously consider stand up comedy. So basically you are saying and I quote "through sex the devil gets blood to attack his victims and if a woman sleeps with 20 men she is inadvertently passing on the spirits of the 20 men that she's slept with to you" I want you to seriously consider this here, think RATIONALLY, how exactly does this statement make sense to you? lmao, if you honestly believe this you sure as hell do not deserve to be taken seriously. What makes you think that you're way of getting to "God" is the correct way? what's to prevent you from believing that Buddha or Horus or Krishna are the correct ways since they all share a lot of properties, you obviously haven't read the history of your religion and the paganism associated with it. Pray, explain how exactly your god talks to you? this should be interesting. I really do hope you dont have "tehh voices"

uchkochi:
I am not here to criticise,neither am i here to sympathise.I am here to share a little truth,the lack of truth has trapped many people.Every body is believing what he likes.If you don't believe the Word Of God which is the only approved manual for life then your foundation is shaking.
I do not have the right to decide who goes to heaven but lets be frank here the bible says it all God is not in most celebrated churches.And its only the insiders that can tell you the truth.The catholic faith believe in Jesus but they deny the power of Jesus indirectly with their idol worship.Yes!!!!!!!! what is the meaning of the statues and rosaries is that the power,No,its a vain tradition.I DONT CARE HOW OLD IT HAS BEEN IT IS AN OLD MISLEADING,TRADITIONAL RELIGION.
I have attended catholic churches but i did not see any life there,its so boring you don't have to be a prophet to know that majority of what they do is contrary to scriptures.they are following the pope and not Christ.Who is the pope now following?
The doctrine of their priest not getting married so they can serve God better is a deceit.They are propagating Gay ism(homosexuality).
My fellow catholics know God for yourself don't go to a political,traditional church.
Further more how many Catholics believe in speaking in tongues,have they not read 1st corinthians 12 about the gifts of the Holy Ghost.
Christianity is not a religion,true christianity is a relationship with God our father.You might be the most committed catholic member and end up in hell because of a truth you were never born again.Once you are born again you have to desire the gift of speaking in tongues which is the spiritual heavenly language so it can help u pray the will of God it is a free gift from God you just have to desire it.God cannot lie Evil persist when good men keep quiet please share your view,thanks

This is the same dude that called a Vagina a "cows head", and equated blood with semen. Anyone that takes this dude seriously should be put in a mental hospital asap.

lol this thread, Id really like to see "teh religious ones" counter to the implausibility of Noah's ark.

benedo:
umm, apparently there seems to be some mix up here satchmo in particular and all the others may not really be conviniently boxed into the smooth jazz genre, all the pplle here i will classify as traditional (american) jazzists then the old croners like sinatra and cole et all, when you talk of smooth jazz! the we should be talking about kenny g, najee,earl klugh,peter white,david sandborn,etc maybe somebody out there with different or better perspective can shed more light on this

True, deviated from the topic a little I guess.

doyin13:
He deserves to be stoned to death.

lmao, seconded

I have these phones right now, I want to sell one and give one to my brother. But its so hard to choose lol, I dont want to give out the D900i cuz its so beautiful and the camera is 3mp, I love the W810 becasue of the flash themes, music player and customisability. 5300 is not in the class of the other 2, but my bros wants a phone with a great music player and one that looks good. So which one do you think I should keep for myself and selll?

If you were to pick one for yourself which would you pick and what would be your 2nd best? between the 5300 or w810 which would you pick?

detruth:
Mr. JayFK "Ojukwu", You wan make Nigeria split, yet you go stay for Canada! Na wahh ooo!
You forgot that when country splits in Africa, its with blood and death of innocent souls.
I wish you mention Eritrea and Ethiopia as part of your examples.
Since everybody is stupid and only you is wise, please just promise us to that you are ready for the sacrifice,
even if it has be that of all your family members, then carry-go, we will follow your proposition

You did read the post I was replying to right?

God cannot possibly be Omniscient and Perfect at the same time. The properties contradict themselves when you compare The Creator with Creation.

Arnold1:
Thanks oo my brother. I am sooo glad I am not the only one who has taken note of this.

This is the same question I keep asking myself over and over again. How is it Yar'Adua has all the time to reverse
all of Obj's work but has no time to come up with his own policies ? Yar'Adua is completely bereft of ideas and the bulk
of the individuals who have ideas to move the country forward are southern folks, but he fails to appoint them due to his northern agenda.

Excellent ! Couldn't put it any better.

How many times has Yar'Adua's ministers mention one thing to the public, only for him to rescind on their decision ?

Minister of Information (John Odey) mentioned that NITEL's sale has been reversed, the presidency later clarified things

Charles Soludo was introducing new naira notes; the presidency later rejected this.

What I really want to know is - Who is really in charge of Yar'Adua's presidency ? Because he certainly doesn't
seem to be in charge at all.

I think a nation needs to go through a period of healing first, to purge out the corrupt elements first. But Yar'Adua is not fast enough and I get the impression that Yar'Adua is nothing more than a figurehead: He wants to do good, but he still bears allegiance to his masters who are the cancer that needs chemo. I could be wrong though

@topic
I like you utter frankness, for keeping it real and for being true to your feelings _{which is a rare quality these dayz}
But please, can you cut down on your cursing
It does not make you more appealing neither does it add more points to your statements.

The point of a rant is to "let it all hang out", I'll try to keep it cleaner next time though. Thanks for reading.

@jayfk
I wonder when quoting a bible verse became "anti-intellectual" especially coming from someone who is yet to post a single thing on this thread without quoting others and is yet to say anything even remotely addressing the thread in anyway.

"I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -- Voltaire
That's a non-biblical quote, i hope it makes u happy n makes me appear more "intellectual".
very intellectual. Give the boy a medal.

I did not say you weren't intellectual, whether you are or aren't really doesn't concern me in anyway. I simply called BS on the bible verse which basically says that in due time evil men will get their own, which of course is simply bullshhhhhhhhhhhhhh no I'd say "bollocks" instead. Nothing personal. But the dude above me had to make some stupid statement about intellectuals and all that crap. Congratulations on quoting Voltaire, even though it draws no parallels to the bible verse in question.
