And am telling you it is in luck 6:31. Your logic has still landed you in the bible in case you are among them dat do not believe.
I believe you've heard of the Hammurabi law? "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth". Tell me, how does this differ from "do unto others what you want others to do unto you?".

Never forget, the Hammurabi law predates christianity.

It's not a concept, it's an unstoppable process, a reality. According to Friedman there have been three eras of globalization. We are in the third phase now. It has shrunk the world to size tiny and the driving force has been technology. The world has changed so rapidly, politicians have not been able to keep up with these tremendous changes. Global challenges require global solutions. This is what everybody needs to understand but some people are still thinking in terms of tribe or race. undecided
True! I agree.


Well, we have to go beyond such small scale thinking. wink It can start with you and I. cheesy
Indeed it can. That much I agree.


Well, at least there has been no WWIII ever since. It is a milestone, a great achievement.
Well the bombings and others things says different though.


Not necessarily.

You are a teacher, you can make a HUGE difference EVERY DAY. It's a blessing. wink
That much I try to do, to the best of my ability.


I believe that we are past the stage of imperialism. Capitalism may at times be brutal but it is not the same as imperialism.
I believe that the answer to the problems arising in capitalist societies is a social market economy that does not leave behind the sick or old.
Hmm. The instance of imperialism, which is the highest stage of capitalism is as a result of greed!. And greed can make a man sell his soul.



I speak three languages fluently and one other less fluently. I don't feel like anything has been imposed on me. I feel I was being enriched.
Wow! I'm in love!!!!. And I'm impressed, I rarely get the chance to have a woman impress me, thus far, you're doing very nicely. wink


But it is our political elites who failed to ensure economic independence, not the white man.


Singapore is a former British colony. USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Hong Kong and India.

This by no means is an ode to Great Britain. I actually think that it is a shame that they are still proud of their history.

In order to enable them to think logically and critically, your opinion is not needed and may even turn out to be counterproductive. I think that we are pretty much on the same page regarding this topic, the only difference is that I believe that a teacher should keep his opinion to himself so that students do not feel intimidated to have differing opinions.
Never forget, my opinion as a teacher can not be negated because the kids will still ask questions about things they find difficult to understand. It is left for me to guide them using like I said earlier, logic, reason and critical thinking as a yardstick for them to follow.

When a kid ask for my opinion, I tell them and I make them know it is just my opinion, that's why I said earlier that I usually tell the kids I teach to scrutinize everything I teach and say to them.



You are most welcome. It's my castle, make yourself feel at home.
Thanks. smiley


Since the financial crisis in 2008 it is obvious that governments have failed to impose regulations that would prevent the financial markets and currencies from crashing. I believe that politicians are temporarily overwhelmed by the challenges a globalized world has confronted them with but I am also optimistic that solutions will be found. It must be so. However, I don't believe that ALL western governments have been sabotaging Africa.
The concept of globalization never stopped the nigerian politician from stealing, it never did, he has at his disposal the power of globalization to enable him steal, and why does he continue to steal?, its because the machinery put in place to check his excesses is weak and docile.

I believe that more and more people come to understand that there is power in unity, not only on a national level but on an international level. We live in a globalized world and we co-dependent on one another and we should follow this path, which has ensured more than 50 years of peace in Europe and we should do so on a global scale instead of dividing the world into good and evil.
Believe me, people are avidly aware that there is power in unity, but that unity is usually with ones tribe and religious affiliation. It has been like this since before we were born. You wonder why christianity keeps trying to paint islam black, and islam does the same?

The 50years of peace in europe didn't come with total peace, there are still a few skirmish here and there. A globalized world where one is forced to think and believe that if you don't belong to this school of thought, you wouldn't survive can't be said to self sufficient

We will get there. it is my dream.
Dreams do come true, but more often, blood is spilled towards the actualization to that dream.


They will not only not ask him, they will worship him. I can't blame them. People who experienced poverty love money more than anyone else.
Poverty comes with different types, but when one has poverty of the mind, one is almost said to be doomed! Such is what is obtainable here in Nigeria.


Thank you. kiss smiley kiss
You're most welcome.



I agree 100%.

I couldn't care less what people do privately as long as consenting adults are involved who are not being exploited in any way.
I see...


The term neocolonialism was coined by a white person, who meant well but we should be able to empower ourselves instead of blaming others for our shortcomings. Nobody can exploit us without our consent. Other countries simply act in their own best interest. Negotiate in a smart way and enjoy the benefits. Nothing wrong with it.
That's the full concept of imperialism, act in your best interest, eve though it mean depriving others from achieving theirs.



A lingua franca is a beautiful thing. It connects people on a global scale. I have no problem with this. In fact, I think it is one of the good things that colonialism did for the world.
You mean imposing another mans language on you?

Political independence is a lot and could have made the country a second Singapore - a flourishing economy and former colony.
Political independence without economic independence is still second slavery.

Why is it that some former British colonies are flourishing today but Nigeria isn't? Obviously, colonialism didn't stop other nations from developing.
British colonies such as? Name one African British colony that is flourishing like singapore?

yes through that is what it called worship

numbers 20:6

The moses and aaron went from the presenceof assembly to
the door of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces and
theglorify lord appeared to them

genesis 17:3

then Abram fellon his face and god said to him

matthew26:39

And going alittle farther he fell on is face and prayed

revelation 7:11

And all the angelstood round the throne and round the elders
and the the four living creaturesand they fell on their faces
before the throne and worshipped God saying ameenblessing
and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power
and migthbe to our God for ever end ever Amen
When did worship equate praying? Or does worshiping God mean one is praying to God? When Jesus was asked by the people to teach them how to pray, did he tell them to fall on their faces?

Luke 11:1-13 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer
One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he
finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us
to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
He said to them, “When you pray, say:

“‘Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against
us.

https://www.lds.org/friend/2011/06/jesus-teaches-his-disciples-to-pray?lang=eng

So I wonder how you confuse worshipping to praying.

Whether your opinions are based on facts or sentiments, doesn't matter. You should follow the principle of neutrality in the classroom and leave space for free thinking. Your opinions are yours, let them develop their own without influencing them by the power of your authority.
Our thoughts and opinions were influenced by one thing or the other, which ever or however way you want to look at it, giving kids the chance of free thinking might prove disastrous. Influencing them along the lines of logic, reason and critical thinking can't be that bad of an influence can it?

Do Nigerian banks ask people where they got the money from that they are paying into their accounts?
And if so, do they have the means to trace the origin of the money?
They don't! That's why nigerian banks are the legalized robbers of society. I bet you, in oversea countries, banks ask questions about how one came to acquire money, especially if that person has a regular job.

Nigeria is the country where a man lives under the bridge today, within the next 5 mins, he's driving a Benz E class, and nobody will ask him where and how he got his money. Even if you ask, you're labeled 'a hater' or 'a bad belle'.



Words of wisdom.
I have you to inspire them. wink



But we both know that Nigerians take corruption to a higher level. You are familiar with the corruption index, aren't you?
Aye! Here is a country where corruption is a virtue and honesty is a vice. We celebrate corruption here in Nigeria because we've been raped bastardly by religious and tribal sentiment.

I tell you, Nigeria aint just corrupt with looting money, but we're also corrupt with our sexual appetite, having a threesome_ and cheating isn't juts enough any more, but now we tend to have shifted our gaze to the kids (13year old) CTY (Catch Them Young) seem to be the mantra now. All thanks to Senator Yerima and co.



Kindly back up your opinion with evidence. But please spare me the history of colonial experience. I won't disagree that it has taken its toll on the country but it's time to move on. We have been celebrating independence for decades now.
Do you know the independence the British gave us was titular of flag like Kwame Nkrumah said in his book: Neo Colonialism, The Hightest Stage Of Capitalism?

Babe, we're not free! We're still being colonized! That's why you see almost everything now revolves around the way of the British, even our lingua fraca is British. The independence was have is nothing but a mirage, the only independence we possess is just political, economic independence doesn't even come close to it.
