hustla:
Because we respect white people nd give them leverage we won't give the average Nigerian,that's why

I'll rather go for sure fruit in afar gardens than wait on one that's not sure

Fair point brother hustla, it takes something special to brave migrating to a new land. But if a collective 'inferiority complex' is the issue here, how can it be ultimately disrupted?

hustla:
Oh boy see crowd for this thread
Na like visiting visa e collect na

How did we get here again?
The Lebanese and Indians come for the treasures in our soil while many of us only see fruits in gardens afar

I'd like to hear your arguments against this development?

justtoodark:
una go regret having google in africa...

nothing is free in this world....

that you nigerians dont understand this simple fact is crazy....

Sure and in agreement with Jeremy Rifkin (principal architect of the third industrial revolution plans of the PRC and adviser to the EU) who proved that a new energy regime (constant power in our case), a revolutionary communication process (prolly Google free WiFi in our case , and new (reliable) modes of transport are the prerequisites for any significant economic shift. Happened in both industrial revolutions.

...So we still need the trains and roads fixed

BedLam:
Lie lie. Some people above think watching movies us best thug to do with internet.

Constant power supply is what will change the face of this country. That's is they don't waste it on movies too

I get your drift. Lucky will be the man who lives close to an open and working hi-speed Google hotspot. And wise is the man who builds himself with that gateway to the limitless library of the internet

lanrexdo:
what do you mean? did you forget this is nigeria that people will spend 12.30am -4.30am to make free calls??

You're so low on joy...

lanrexdo:
Simply go there and update all your gadget and also download plenty movies.. lol.. expercially series.. one terabyte of movie is not bad..video calls go plenty for there.

Digital is the future, the future is now. In short it started yesterday (and we're already late). *John Legend mood*�

This could the spark that lights the fire of many disruptive innovations in the most populous black country.

Hi jethro2, I need connect with your farming friends with unshelled wild melon (egusi) and what's the rate per bag presently?

jethro2:
It's not about owning a farm. It's about productivity

So many people want to own a land mass they can easily call their farm

Imagine the scenario where you spend millions to billions setting up your farm with all modern day farm machineries, boreholes, standard farm structures etc and you lack good management thereby losing all the funds

I know several farms scattered over Nigeria especially in the South West that has all the modern day gadgets but are not functioning due to maintenance and management

The farms are locked down
The equipments are rusting
The buildings are deteriorating

That's when thieves and scavengers are not there to select

I have written severally that farming can never be an hobby

Farming can never be a side business

Farming can not be managed on a part time basis

Farming require strong capable hand

Farming require expertise.

Farming is just like every other business that you give 10000% attention to for it to succeed

I see so many people that just want to quickly invest something and make millions within the next 6 months

Even the 3 months training is not sufficient to set up a farm sustainably.

It's just preliminary

My fourth year on the farm doing purely practical and I am still learning to improve the system

Please dont be in hurry to set up a farm.
Don't be in hurry to recoup the fund

And most people actually do go for quacks to set up farm for them in the bid to spend less money

They end up spending triple of the fund they are trying to save without achieving anything

The Nigeria system see farm consultation as a no no. They wonder why they should pay for consultation

After all they can easily get plenty internet information and others to do the work for them

I have witness so many incidence

I once refer some people to a consultant I know in a field since I am not in that field.

They came back to tell me the consultation fee is too expensive and they got somebody else.

Great. I said

Few months later or years later

They always come to give me the story that touches

All finances gone down the drain with nothing to show for it.

A word they say is enough for the wise

It failed to deliver what it promised! And it's a shame that such a man doesn't understand there's a war against his soul. How rebels and rabble-rousers forced the second sexual revolution ripping us apart till this day.

Sex is SACRED! It is not lying or sleeping together. Adam knew Eve, David lay with Bathsheba are two different realities. Light and darkness

Sex is SERIOUS! Who shall like to destroy the temple of the holy spirit?

Sex is GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY! You and I are responsible to Someone. We have to answer to Someone for our lives. Am I prepared to give a shameless account to my heavenly father for how I've used this body He gave me?

Such a man removed the boundaries of sexual purity without asking why it was put there in the first place.

gistmate:
He ran away after our first night. What did I do wrong? You waited until you have dated a guy for several weeks before sleeping with him. Though you were hot for him and curious about what getting in the sack would be like; you made a conscious effort to get to know him and trust him first.

So, you met a guy. He seems fantastic. He says all the right words, does all the right things, and you decide to sleep with him a little more quickly than normal because you feel oh-so comfortable around him. Then guess what happens? He stops calling you.

At first you feel rejected. Then you feel used. You don’t feel smart anymore, like you don’t have as good of a read on guys as you thought you did. And then you let all your crazed emotional states get the better of you; and you start to talk to your friends about this whole debacle, over and over again.

Then, you review every little thing that went down with this new guy; every word, every sentence, every text message the two of you shared. You want to figure out exactly what you did wrong in this scenario and why he’s not calling anymore. OMG….what a waste of time. What a waste of energy and what a waste of self-confidence; that you’re throwing out the window. Stop beating yourself up.


See the top 10 reasons why he must have left you after sex

All He Wanted Was Sex and nothing more:
Most times it doesn’t really matter how long you stay with a guy before you decide to make love to him. The truth is that some guys can still pretend till you are ready to go down the lane. He will remain all calm and loving; won’t be pestering you. But the moment he gets what he want, voom….he goes.

Lust made him stay calm
On a second thought, he may have wanted to stay with you deep down within him but after a first time with you, he changes his mind. It maybe because he expected more from you. He thought he would be so wowed with you owing to the lust that drove him to you the first time.

The sexual chemistry just isn’t there
Even though people say men are just after getting laid, there is still another side to it. Men still have a desire for quality rounds. If he doesn’t feel the connecting, he runs.

CS Lewis was worse than you, Felix Leseur was worse than you, Blaise Pascal was worse than you, even Saint Paul (as Saul was worse than you), they were good atheists who asked the right questions with an open mind. What I'm trying to say is, the veil of darkness over your soul that has darkened your intellect, weakened your will and corrupted your memory will be eviscerated. Even if this is a case of 'emerighi Iha eme', heaven's hound is on your trail. Like the aforementioned atheists, you will be converted to love Christ Jesus above life itself.

Remember this Day!

CAPSLOCKED:



THE IMPACT OF CHURCHES VS THE IMPACT OF FOOTBALL VIEWING CENTERS TO THE ECONOMY.

- CHURCH PROVIDES EMPLOYMENT. VERY GOOD. VIEWING CENTER EMPLOY PEOPLE AS WELL. (BOARD MAN, CLEANERS, ELECTRICIANS, SECURITY, ETC).

- CHURCH GIVES AND TAKES.
CHURCH GIVES YOU THE "ABSOLUTE TRUTH" OF YOUR FAVORITE DEITY, AND TAKES YOUR TIME, ENERGY, TITHES, OFFERING, DONATIONS, EMOTIONS, ETC.
VIEWING CENTER GIVES YOU THE MATCH YOU WANT TO WATCH AND TAKES ONLY 50 - 100 NAIRA FROM YOU, DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION.

- YOU MIGHT WANT TO ARGUE THAT CHURCH HELPS TO BUILD PEOPLE SPIRITUALLY, AND ENSURE TO LEAD THEM TO HEAVEN. THIS IS COMPLETE NONSENSE AS WITH JUST A SINGLE DOSE OF COMMON SENSE IT BECOMES EASY TO REALIZE THAT CHURCH IS NOTHING BUT A BUSINESS CENTER WHICH THRIVES ON THE FEAR, EMOTIONS, AND GULLIBILITY OF HUMANS. SELLS THEM FAKE TALES FROM THE ANCIENT AGE ABOUT HELL AND HEAVEN, AND TAKES AWAY THEIR MONEY AND FREEDOM.
VIEWING CENTER WINS IT ON THIS ONE BECAUSE YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY ON SOMETHING REALISTIC - A FOOTBALL OR WRESTLING MATCH AND YOU LEAVE WHENEVER YOU WANT.. NO THREATS OR ANY FORM OF GUILT TRAPPING.

- PRAYING IN A CHURCH AND PRAYING IN A VIEWING CENTER IS THE SAME THING.
THIS IS NOT BECAUSE YOUR PREFERRED DEITY IS OMNIPRESENT. EVIDENCE COLLECTED FROM EVERY PART OF THE EARTH SHOWS THAT MEGATONS OF PRAYERS ARE INCAPABLE OF DOING NOTHING. SO PRAYING TO JESUS IN A CHAPEL OR PRAYING TO KHRISNA IN A TEMPLE, OR PRAYING TO HULK HOGAN IN A VIEWING CENTER WILL CERTAINLY GUARANTEE THE SAME RESULT. NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CHURCH TO THE ECONOMY WOULD BE OUTWEIGHED TEN TIMES IF WE DARE COMPARE TO A BEER PARLOR OR A BROTHEL. SO THIS THREAD HAS NO PURPOSE.

I'm intrigued by your signature and I wish to know - what is your worldview?

How do you answer the questions of Origin, Meaning, Morality and Destiny?

sKeetz:
And he doesn't pay tithe or waste his time binding imaginary enemies at midnight.

What does it cost you to be gentle and respectful?

You could have at least given the lady in question benefit of doubt knowing that she doesn't have the wealth of information you do on military intervention in these farmer/herdsmen crises (assuming your statements are true). Or maybe, it's the impertinent taste of her post that riles you?

Whatever it be, you flashed your tribalist colours, showing your capacity to overgeneralize.

Next time, kindly practice your love for 'critical thinking' and make your argument without ad hominem attacks or fallacy of hasty generalization. Respect people!

SternProphet:
This point that the solution is to use the ..."full force of the police to fight against Fulani herdsmen"..only Nigerians think that way.

Nigerian brains are a little demented due to a faulty educational system. What exactly is happening now?. Are we fighting herdsmen with 50% of force?. Rubbish.

I don't like being tribslistic but the way our brothers and sisters from the East think is a little below standard.
Nigeria now has up to 20000 men deployed against so called herdsmen. The Nigeria Airforce is actually looking for and bombing these guys in the bush ( which fact may even actually be illegal), I know of Navy Special forces, NAF special forces deployed. The Civil Defence corps is scrambling for money to form Agro rangers to protect against clashes but it takes a South Easterner to make the redundant point that full force should be deployed. So we are bombing all terroristic herdsmen as we speak. I am not sure we ever got to the stage of deploying Airforce against IPOB.

They are already killing the terrorists in the bush. Also there are terrorists on both sides and even the terrorists and militias formed by the farmers will also be killed.

To suggest that a VP should not do his job to resettle families displayed quickly with new homes in protected neighbourhoods because we should be waiting for another "full force" of the Nigeria Police is this same demented thinking.

Don't bundle capitalism with missionary work.
The middle ages happened, the crusades happened, and even slave trading. But were these abuses a logical outworking of the Judeo-Christian worldview?

NO! So we can say the perpetrators of those crimes were acting in their own selfish capacity while abusing their belief system (it's still happening today) but I'm not a judge of anybody. I've read Ngugi Thiongos work 'Weep not Child' and it mentions exemplary missionaries in Kenya who spoke an entirely different language from the capitalists and colonial administrators; making assertions like 'All men are equal before God' in agreement with the gospel.

I recommend you read the work of British atheist and journalist Mathew Parris who writes for the times UK

(https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/as-an-atheist-i-truly-believe-africa-needs-god-3xj9bm80h8m)

Do not CARRY God's name in vain is one of the ten commandments. This refers to those who do evil in the name of God. They do more damage to Christianity than the most eloquent atheists. These people will receive their due punishment if unrepentant.

God seeks the hearts you know how, He spoke about the transformation several hundreds of years before Jesus came in Jeremiah 31:33 - "This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people."

Who are these people to be transformed?

"Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham." - Galatians 3:7

"If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."

And in the new testament... Hebrew 8:10

"This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people."

God is real. Nietzsche told you he's dead but He's not.
Even objective science reveals his glory and excellence, would you like to hear it?

Or if you want to meet and have your questions answered in Lagos, let me know. Or maybe a Skype session?

Nazaretha1:
Lol. It's quite funny that the same set of people whom Yahweh used to propagate Christianity to our lands were the same people who ripped us of our identities and sold our forefathers as slaves.
Anyway, that's not where I'm going. If you think the gods of my forefathers lost the battle against the Hebrew god, then why are their so many people perpetrating evil in Yahweh's name?
Are you saying Yahweh is only concerned about converting heads, not hearts? Cause I'm very sure the percentage of the devout, not the humanistic "devout", the devout, as the Bible portrays it is very little compared to what we and Yahweh see. Not that I believe there's a Yahweh anyway, that's just an illustration.

Thank you for clarifying your beliefs. However I have already said that it makes more sense to believe in a creator because of the impossibility of life evolving without any intelligence before or after the big bang. 10^10^123 is far far greater than 10^50 (refer to my previous post). In simple terms, evolution of life is impossible (Objective fact)

Am wondering why you speak of the elements that all obey the law of physics. Have you ever asked yourself why gravity will always be consistent or the cycles of nature are unchanging? In short, why scientific laws exist so that experiments are reliable and accurate predictions made.

In thinking up an answer, remember that to every effect there's a cause and that before the big bang, the universe was a singularity and the laws of physics don't apply in a singularity. God created the universe, gave it order - the laws came to be.

You spoke of the sun and it's elements. Don't you think it points to the common origin of all the elements in the universe - from the big bang?

You spoke Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. Wasn't this comet obeying the law of physics?
Physical laws guarantee a level of success with predictions. Again who made the laws?

The possibility of life on Mars and Europe is still up for debate. So I'm wondering where your authoritative assertions come from?
The only reason why those entities excite the scientists is because of the presence of water which is a vital prerequisite for life.

Again, your statement about the exploding sun and if their trumpet was blown sounds superficial as though you want God not to exist. What have you got to lose by believing brother? Which branch of science or bone in your body stipulates that a man must be honest or value life?

God proves Science! And I say to you as the Lord has spoken "come near to God and He will come near to you"

If the lord tarries, when we meet someday I would tell you about French scientist Blaise Pascal, Irish poet Oscar Wilde and their journeys to Christ Jesus from both Agnostic and Hedonistic backgrounds respectively. Not forgetting former editor of an atheist newspaper, Felix Leseur who became a Dominican priest. Also, If you'd also like to hear about C.S. Lewis, I'll oblige you. And then we can unveil the beauty of the gospel together.

Avedonn:
I just gave you few instances of scientific discoveries that proved that the whole order in our solar system, milky way, galaxy and the entire cosmos evolved not created.

Do you know that the sun is made up of helium and hydrogen gas? This is not just an assumption but a fact.

Do you know the scientists have accurately predicted the impact of asteroid on Jupiter in 1993? This include the hour and minutes of impact and it happens exactly as predicted.

Do you know in 1987 a sun outside our solar system exploded and destroyed all the planets on it's orbit? The explosion was visible to the naked eye for two weeks from the earth.

Do you know Mars once had living things before it's atmosphere was stripped away by solar wind thereby evaporating all the water on it's surface?

Do you know there's probability of life in one of the Saturn's moon called Europa due to the presence of water?

All those things are recent discovery by scientists. But we were told in the bible that trumpet would be blown making the end of the earth.

So my question is, does it mean trumpet was blown in those millions of sun's that underwent nuclear fusion turning into red giants or the planet that its core collapsed turning into a pulsar?

How did the scientists able to predict all this happenings and discoveries?

Take Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune for instance, they were made up of entirely ball of gas without any solid surface. So what's the purpose of creating such giants planets without anything inside? And based on the data the Voyager one sent when it had its first flyby to those planets, the were made up of hydrogen and methane which are the most common elements in space.
