Can u see how disjointed you flow of thoughts is? Can economy just grow over night ? I'm not surprised, what do u expect from people that believe in packed fraud! The first step to economic development is human and infrastructural developments. Stop dropping sentimental comments it shows how shallow u think. Go and ask lagosians in the last 15 years, it was as harsh like this because they were at the building phase , free trade zones were being developed, ports modified, clear road map for infractural development that are springing up today. Now they are reaping the rewards, if u don't know Lagos is one of the states where u have consultants working in general hospitals, secondary hospital operating at the level of tertiary ones. Its economy alone can swallow like 5 other states and still growing , courtesy of a futuristic leader. They shouted then too ,what I like about BAT is " if u like cry blood ,he won't derail from his plans to rescue the country. Enough of palliating a failing country and packing it to give superficial values. This is our real worth now and we must all endure to grow it to the kind of country we desire. Any leader that says other wise is a failure from the start because he will still package a failed nation and pass it on to the other generation untill the elastic limit is reached.
If u know how much Nigeria is owing chaina and other countries, that we need to be servicing debt with almost all the generated revenue! They have to be paying back with crude oil. That is to tell you how bad it has gone. The best man for the job is who we have now . Allocation to the state have increased, minimum wage will soon be increased, more cash in circulation, infractural development, come to Abuja , Nasarawa,Jos etc , it is just a matter of time all these will cumulate into economic growth like Lagos is experiencing today.

Acknowledging the importance of infrastructure development doesn't mean one should ignore the economic mismanagement that has plagued our nation. You missed the point of that post entirely. It's a false dichotomy to imply that one must choose between infrastructure growth and economic development. A true leader would work towards both, not prioritize one at the expense of the other. I really don't think SoNature's critique of Tinubu's economic leadership was sentimental. He was basing it on verifiable data and economic indicators. Nigeria's economy has struggled under Tinubu's leadership, with rising poverty, inflation, and unemployment rates. These aren't mere sentiments; they're harsh realities. Have you stopped to consider that Tinubu's economic policies might be exacerbating the problem?

The argument that "allocation to the state has increased, minimum wage will soon be increased, more cash in circulation" is flawed. These measures might provide temporary relief but don't address the underlying structural issues hindering economic growth. In fact, they might fuel inflation and dependency on government handouts.

I think it's high time we moved beyond this "packaging a failed nation" mentality that is allowing dishonest politicians to pull the wool over the eyes of the people, and strive for genuine and inclusive growth.

You are so dumb that you just supported everything I wrote with 3 strong points. LMAO

Hold on, let me get this straight.

(1) You claimed humans were created by beings from another world, but I pointed out to you that science shows a natural process of evolution... and you considered it a merit to your argument?

(2) You implied skin color determines intelligence or status, which is a harmful and false idea without any actual evidence. I noted this... and you considered it a merit to your argument?

(3) You proposed a global flood, but geological evidence contradicts this. I mentioned this... and you considered it a merit to your argument?

🤦🏽‍♀️

You wouldn't look this pathetic if you didn't keep harping on about me not reading your posts. But you did. Life sure is funnier than any team of comedy writers can imagine.

Can you now see who merits the dumbass epithet yet?

Look for a husband and family so that you don't spend your bedtime trolling online.

Please read until the end to make meaning of my write up. I'm going to apply both scientific and biblical references and use relatable terms for better understanding.


Here's how I see it:

Human beings were created by beings from another world who had a leader/project manager (God).

These beings were not of this world. They possibly stumbled upon life on Earth while exploring and were obviously fascinated by the animals they met (no humans yet).

These beings of superior intelligence decided to experiment with the life they met on Earth by mixing their genes with chimpanzees (who happened to be the closest animal in semblance to them). So science is somewhat correct to state that homo sapiens are relatively new and evolved from chimpanzees. They just don't know the full details.

Out of this experiment they created Man who looked and behaved like them but he was primitive (Blacks). They created Man to act as their servant/labourer/assistant in taking care of the Earth they discovered for them. Think of it like a Bigman and his gateman or driver. They do not hate you but the gulf in class will be maintained.

Later on, some of these beings began to lust after the Man they created and eventually had sex with Man to produce further mutated offsprings. This is not too difficult to imagine because while Mankind were of inferior stock some must definitely have enticing features that appealed to the creators. The product of this union is mentioned in the Bible.

After this, their leader (God) decided to leave Earth since his original project had been tampered with but not before kicking out the erring members out of their spaceship (Heaven) into Earth (Hell without his supervision). These exiled beings rallied around a leader (Satan) and decided to make sure they destroyed their former leader's most revered project (Mankind) in petty retaliation. Like when your spoilt child pours away the pot of soup because you disciplined him.

I will explain the previous paragraph better:
Before the betrayal, God and his beings could come down here on Earth physically to live and give instructions to Man (like in the Bible). They could come down sometimes to solve problems with their superior technology (miracles) when summoned. Man also had a longer age limit since he was created with their DNA. But after the abomination, God decided to wipe out all of that anomaly with a flood. This flood did not cover the whole world as the Bible mentioned but just the inhabited parts.

The flood lasted longer than 40 days. It lasted many years and the ark people multiplied within it.

Some people survived the flood without being inside the ark.


These non-ark survivors migrated to Europe and Asia away from the flood and evolved over many years while the flood people were holed up in their ark. They explored and developed skills to survive on their own instead of waiting for their creators to save them as used to be the case then.

These survivors are the Whites of today.
Their skin whitened because they moved high up into the mountains and away from sunlight/sky to avoid the flood.

This is why the White's mentality is distinct from the Black's who still have the saviour gene in him. The Blacks are only just learning to survive on their own and still lag behind Whites whose ancestors managed to figure out a way during the flood.


This is also why Whites enslave Blacks throughout history because their genes still carry the original creator+creation DNA that God tried to wipe out. The ark survivors were chosen because they had the original lab experiment intact without sexual intercourse with the creator beings.

Now, through centuries of mixed race intercourse, almost everyone in the world will carry the creator/created DNA that God opposed.

That is the Mark of the Beast.

When all of Mankind finally have it, the leader of the exiled beings (Satan) plans to wage war (Armageddon) with his former boss (God) since his own project has overshadowed his boss' own.

A couple of things here

(1) Science actually suggests humans share a common ancestor with chimpanzees, not that we're their directly-engineered cousins. It's a gradual process, not a mad scientist's lab project.

(2) The idea that skin color is linked to intelligence or creator-given status is demonstrably false. It's a product of adaptation, not divine decree.

(3) Extensive geological evidence suggests a global flood like Noah's is highly improbable. Plus, how did animals from all continents magically appear on a boat in the Middle East?

My topic starts with "my belief" and "here's how I see it" yet some dumbos are here to ask me dumb questions.

I don't see why you're getting so upset about me asking you to cite the bases for your beliefs. Beliefs do not exist in a vacuum, just so you know. I mean listen to yourself. You claim your "beliefs" are not meant to be factual, yet somehow it weirdly hinges on specific historical events for legitimacy. And you expect people to take you seriously?

AlbertNewton:
If you're hoping that teaching chess in schools will help students become better at thinking, problem solving or learning, I think you might be greatly disappointed.

While chess certainly requires a lot of thinking (if you want to play it well), I do not think that by getting better at chess, you invariably become markedly better at performing other activities that involve significant levels of critical reasoning. In other words, improved chess playing skills does not necessarily mean improved thinking capacity. As a matter of fact, I think when you learn to play chess better, all that has happened is that you have mastered certain positional patterns and understood how to use different chess strategies and tactics well.

If you take Kasparov and Carlsen to the class room, they will not necessarily learn better than a typical smart student. Give them puzzles and problems outside of chess to solve and their performance may not be so outstanding. How many real-life problems have been solved or innovations birthed by great chess Grandmasters ?

If the goal is to make students better thinkers and problem solvers, I think it will be better to systematically teach them specific set of skills necessary for critical thinking and problem solving, skills that probably contributed to the emergence of people like Carlsen and Kasparov (and me 😁) as great chess players.

You make some fair points. But even if we can come up with a dedicated critical thinking course that can definitely break down the skills we're talking about in a more structured way, how many of them can do it in a way that is as engaging as chess usually is?

When you're analyzing a chessboard, anticipating your opponent's next moves and formulating a strategy, that's all critical thinking in action! The only difference is that you're doing it in a context that's exciting and mentally stimulating. Learning those critical thinking skills in isolation might feel abstract to some students. Chess throws them into a situation where they have to apply those skills right away, and the competition adds a layer of pressure that forces them to think quickly and creatively. It's like a fun mental workout that gets these valuable skills ingrained almost subconsciously. Plus, chess teaches you valuable lessons about dealing with setbacks. You will lose games, especially when you're starting out. But you learn to analyze your mistakes, adjust your approach, and come back stronger. That kind of resilience is just as important in life as being a good problem solver.

I might also need to address a veiled misconception I'm noticing here. Chess isn't about turning everyone into a Garry Kasparov. That's looking at the issue through a narrow lens. Chess is simply about training your brain in a way that benefits you across different areas. Kasparov and Carlsen are exceptional chess players because they've honed their critical thinking skills to a master level, through chess. It's just like going to the gym. You strengthen your muscles, which then helps you perform better in various physical activities. Applying this analogy to chess, the game can strengthen your cognitive muscles, making you a better problem solver in general.

I don't quite get your argument about the number of groundbreaking inventions directly linked to chess grandmasters and I don't think it's necessarily relevant to the topic in general. But for what it's worth, I've come across countless videos on YouTube of successful people from all walks of life, from CEOs to scientists, who have credited chess with sharpening their minds. It's not a guarantee of success, but it's a valuable tool in your mental toolkit.

And by the way, I don't think anyone seriously believes that chess mastery magically makes you a genius in everything, but the core skills you develop are absolutely applicable outside the game and practicing them intensely in chess could strengthen your neural pathways for broader use.

Absolutely, and a fantastic discussion it is. All I'm saying basically is, categorizing men into "high value" and "high quality" can be likened to picking stocks on a dating app: all about the profile pic and not the long-term potential.

@CuteMike01

I really don't enjoy being the one to pour the sand in your proverbial garri here but while your article does bring up some interesting points, I find your whole categorization to be a bit limiting. For me, I think the best partner for any man or woman is someone who checks all of his/her boxes, not someone who fits into a neat little pre-packaged label. As a lady, I don't think it's wise to settle for a knock-off version of someone else's ideal man. I'd be more interested in finding someone who complements me, challenges me, and makes me the best version of myself. So there's that.

Funny you should say that, because whenever I read your posts, you sound exactly like someone I'd imagine regret would look like personified. Psychological projection is a nasty bitch. I also couldn't help but notice how you clumsily quoted me twice, and still couldn't format your response properly in the two posts, which further accentuates your retard, as well as how digitally illiterate you are. I'm curious, how do you sleep at night knowing that your singular brain cell is preventing you from ascending beyond the level of petty playground insults like "YoUr dADDy sHoULd hAve WOrn A ConDOmN!"?

So sorry I spilled the beans, the games are a very interesting watch nonetheless especially the last phase that had Fabiano, Hikaru, Ian and Gukesh battling for 1st place...
Not to forget how Alireza really underperformed (sorry for spilling another beans lol)

Alireza underperformed in the 2022 candidates as well, so not much surprise there. It's crazy because I read something online some time ago about Magnus Carlsen propping up Alireza as his only worthy foe. I'll cite the link if I can find it.

If your answer to the above questions is no, then you're a finished woman.

I just did a quick review of your profile, and I have to apologize for bothering you to have an actual discussion. Matters of national concern should be the least of your problems. I'm not here to engage in a battle of wits with someone who thinks virginity is a measure of a woman's worth. That's not a debate, that's a therapy session.

Your narrative is right, but you can as well agree that when one take a close sight and have a deep meditation of lyrics of the old National Anthem it invokes the spirit of patriotism and brotherliness which is one of the essential substance nations need to get things right.

How laughably sentimental of you. It actually bothers me that some Nigerians can make such naive comments as the above. It's a total non sequitur to suggest that revising our national anthem is a sufficient solution to the current economic woes. You claim the old national anthem evokes a "spirit of patriotism and brotherliness" but somehow are too blind to realize that the current administration's policies (or lack thereof) are not exactly fostering this sense of brotherliness and patriotism you are alluding to. No amount of nostalgia can put food on the table or create jobs. It's time for substance over sentimentality!

jeromestarks:
They didn't change the anthem. They only went back to the original.

If you're not the one who disvirgined your wife, you will regret your marriage because she will definitely go back to fvck her ex and you will train his children. How will you suffer to pay the bride price of a woman who was fvcked with just two eggs and indomie?

The original anthem is better. Just like women, they're better in their original state. Do not breed with a second woman. Find an original (virgin) woman.

If this is supposed to be sarcasm, then I must admit you've got immense talent.

A commoner living in ancient Greece, Heron discovers his true heritage as a son of Zeus, and his purpose: to save the world from a demonic army.

IMDb rating: 7.5/10

I personally don't have a dog in this fight. However, I can't help but feel that people are getting carried away here. Don't get me wrong: as a literature enthusiast, I'm a massive fan of Wole Soyinka, and have been familiar with his works since pretty much my entire childhood. I'm sure many people here are fans as well.

Naturally, political assertions made by esteemed and well respected public figures like Wole Soyinka carry a lot of weight, and I think this makes it very easy for people to fall prey to the logical fallacy of appealing to authority, instead of evaluating his arguments solely on their merit. That being said, let's properly examine Soyinka's reasoning. His argument for Obi's incompetence basically hinges on Obi's alleged inability to rein in his "Obidients". He accuses Obi of encouraging divisive behavior and fostering an environment where facts are manufactured. He directs his ire at the toxic online culture perpetuated by some Obidients, which he believes reflects poorly on Obi's leadership abilities. Now, while Soyinka's critique of online toxicity is completely valid, and I agree with it a hundred percent, I consider it to be a misplaced criticism and a variant of the ad hominem fallacy. Why? Because I still think it's essential to separate the candidate from their supporters' actions. Obi's leadership style and policies should be the primary focus, rather than ascribing guilt by association. Obi is his own person, and so is your average Obidient. As brilliant as Soyinka is, his logic here is a bit loose.

TLDR; If Soyinka wants to make a valid criticism of Obi's potential as President, he should be focusing on Obi's antecedents, not the actions of his followers.
