Sokoto: Two-story buildings with constructions glazed with tsoluwa, (laterite gravel), 10 mile circumference city walls, some as high as 20 feet, is how 16th century Surame, a Sokoto metropolis created by empire ruler, Muhammadu Kanta Sarkin Kebbi, was. UNESCO describes Surame as “one of the wonders of human history, creativity and ingenuity​ Lord Lugard estimated in 1904 that there were 170 walled towns still in existence in the whole of just the Kano province of northern Nigeria. He described Kano: ‘Commercial emporium of the western Sudan.’ Of its wall, he said, ‘I have never seen, nor even imagined, anything like it in Africa.’
Kebbi: Nigeria’s Sorko Sea lords of Kebbi state, made ships (Kanta) which were used for far away expeditions, including the 1311 AD, 2000 ship, famous voyage of Songhai Empire’s Mansa Abubakari II to the America’s, decades before Columbus. Yobe: The oldest discovered boat in Africa, and 3rd oldest on the world, the 8500 yr old Dufuna canoe was discovered by a Fulani herdsman in 1987 in Dufuna village, Fune LGA. . Benin Kingdom: Lourenco Pinto, captain of a ship that carried missionaries to Warri in 1619, described Benin kingdom, ‘Great Benin where the king resides is larger than Lisbon, all the streets run straight and as far as the eyes can see….’
Osun: Queen Luwo, the twenty-first Ooni (ruler) of Ile-Ife paved the streets with quartz pebbles—and broken pottery, in 1000AD. The architecture had decorations that originated from Ancient America. .. Sungbo’s Eredo in Ogun state (6°49′N, 3°56′E) is a 100 mile system of up to 70 ft trenches and walls around Ijebu-Ode.
finished in 1460 the Benin Iya or moat is a historic world defense wonder. Spanning 1,200 kilometers with walls as high as 18 metres, it is the world’s largest archeological structure.

I wonder why people compare air that one cannot see with an invisible non-phonomenal god. Everytime I see people do it, I just wonder if they have considered what they say. If I were to place you in an airproof room and sucked out all the so called 'invisible air', would you be in a position to claim because you did not see it to begin with that I was not sucking out anything?

Tell me what would happen to you if what I sucked out was god please?

probably become a delusional individual and call my self delioncourt or ba.... Whatever

DeLioncourt:
I said this earlier...i am referring to all religious gods. this includes the christian, muslim, buddhist, mormon, chinese, indian, greek and so on...

so u r saying u don't believe in anything other than ur own exsistant..Lol... Imagine a world where there is no god...Things fall afar and the centre can't hold... All u r doing is crying havoc and letting loose the dogs of war... Scientifically I have given u proven facts for our very exsistance ....I have even broken it down to d simplest analogy...With spermatozoa... Whether the source u believe in is called god...Is irrelevant...Be wise

DeLioncourt:
Like I said, the onus isn't on me to prove that god doesn't exist.

Give me proof that he exists and I will debunk your proofs.
Simple.

And the theological name for him is god! Different religions have different words to define what they believe it but it is ultimately called god.

theology is written script based on belief...In a language...Dat isn't English... God is English..B more specific in the god u r saying doesn't exist.. The Christian god..The Muslim god.. The Jewish god... The Chinese god..Or Japanese God..And like the air u can't see but need to breath... That doesn't need an explanation from u y it exist..I wonder y dis strong disillusion.... u will eventually know the truth...Like a phone u and I will go out of date...Will u b well liked and appreciated like a Nokia phone or forgotten like the others when a new version of ideology springs up

HappyPagan:
Same. Your ignorance doesn't prove God exist.

Except you claim to understand and know God?

never ignorant of God's existence...The few laws science have been able to come up with shows us that there is intelligence in our design and the world...If I can understand 1percent of the known proven laws...I understand d tiniest part of God and know he exist

DeLioncourt:
if you were intelligent, you'd know i'm referring to the theological version of god. and not the philosophical or scientific.
please, don't stress me.
I know the word god means different things to different people. I am talking about the god of religion. If you aren't arguing along that line, don't mention me.

then use the theological name for him... And I say prove it ... That the theological god doesn't exist ...not with sentiments but proven facts...

DeLioncourt:
bruhh..what are u saying? nobody ever said there is no power source. What I am saying is that, said power source is not god!!
Is this so difficult to understand?

u call me confused...And say dis... The god doesn't exist u put up... Shows u r not versed in any form of knowledge...God is a general term used by philosophers astronomers scientists even...In every language on d earth...There is a god reference...Every religious belief there is a god reference...Even science n nature there is a god reference....Each person calls him by their own name....Wat ever culture u r from I am sure there is a name for god... Chinese Greek Arabs African all hv there names for the god concept.... Spaghetti god....Iron god... Stone god...There is an intelligent source greater Dan urself....Just as u cannot explain the laws of thermodynamics to a baby...Think how a being light years ahead of u...Explaining it's exsistant to u... When u cannot understand d simplest concept... Like a baby with time u will become a man and d laws of thermodynamics will b d easiest thing to understand....Till then either change d topic or learn and b wise

DeLioncourt:
Lmao... Of all the respondents, you are the most confused.
So, swimming sperm is evidence that god exists?
That means, sperm is also evidence that the flying spaghetti monster exists. After all, some people believe the spaghetti fella is god.
You believe in something greater than yourself...what is that thing? What does that thing do? Why can't it reveal itself?

let me come down to ur level...I have been trying to dumb down to dis level of discussion....So read dis analogy well... Digest and understand... Before u type....Now switch ur phone off...Now wait for it to power up without using the power button...It won't come on without ur input... There are various ways by which it wld come on...U input a time power on or off command...U input a power source command to power on...Or u power it up urself...Life just doesn't happen...In all manner of science n nature...There is a power source... Whether u choose to believe it or not...If this too is confusing...Smh...Give someone more intelligent than yourself to explain

HappyPagan:

ignorance....Hmmm...okay....My happypagan.... Millions of spermatozoa swimming to fertilize an egg....U were d fastest... Hence u were born...U have no memory of u swimming dat fast...It happened natural.... God is in nature... Nature is our science...I believe in something more Dan myself... Something greater than me... Apparently u do too... Happypagan....Hence d attention seeking name...

Kumbwada in Niger State is ruled by Queen Hajiya Haidzatu Ahmed, who presides over thousands of subjects. ​Kumbwada in Kano has always been ruled by a woman.

A throne curse which makes men sick and die, keeps males off the throne. Sadly, the woman-ruled Kumbwada is the least funded chiefdom in Nigeria.

Kumbwada, in Nigeria’s conservative Islamic North, where strict Sharia law is the rule, has never had a male ruler.

The Queens palace is a shack with a rusted corrugated roof, but her rule over the 33,000 citizens is unquestioned.

“There has never been a male ruler,” the queen says, chuckling.

“Even my father just voiced his desire to be chief, but it almost killed him.”

“It’s a women’s affair, women are the rulers and they rule as effectively as men, sometimes even better than men.”

As the traditional ruler, the queen handles disputes such as quarrels over land, divorces, petty violence, accusations of theft and arguments between neighbours.

Government courts step in, only if a traditional ruler refers a case or if the situation isn’t resolved to everyone’s satisfaction.

“When domestic issues come to me, the way I treat them will be quite different to other traditional chiefs,” she says.

“I’m a woman and I’m a mother and I have so much concern and experience when it comes to the issue of marriage and what it means for the maintenance of the home and what it means for two people to live together.”

And of course she doesn’t tolerate wife beating

Yellow, red, green and brown...that's a national colour for the complete Yoruba chow down...Yellow gbegiri, red stew, green ewedu, and brown amala...if you haven't had these you don't know what you're missing.

The Dora Milaje are a fierce all female army in the Marvel film Black Panther...but many people are unaware that they are based partially off a real all women army in Africa called the Dahomey Amazons, at one time considered the most feared women in the world.

Dahomey is in modern day Benin republic of you didn't know
Abeokuta was invaded by the women warriors of Dahomey now present day Benin republic!!!!

In 1851, Dahomey attacked the town of Abeokuta after many counselors, including women of the palace, had advised the king against it. It ended in a crushing defeat for Dahomey, and nearly 2,000 women warriors, half their original number, perished.

Years of warfare had weakened the kingdom and as French troops encroached, the Dahomey fought them off to the best of its ability. Considering the outdated weapons with which they fought, Daho-mian forces inflicted considerable casualties but were unable to save the kingdom.

In fighting both Africans and Europeans, the Amazons raised the hackles of their adversaries because they were women. Legend says that when the men of Abeokuta discovered that they fought women and that some of their ranks had been killed by the women warriors, their shame drove them to fight twice as hard to defeat the invaders.

The French recounted stories that the Amazons drank themselves into drunken frenzies before battles. Some European men said that these women were hideously ugly, and others reported that they were beautiful. Commander Terrillon called them harpies, while many of his men greatly enjoyed watching defeated Amazons bathe in a nearby pond, insisting that they were some of the loveliest women in the world

So, why have you been disturbing me since?
My point has been that, because we don't understand something yet doesn't make it god.
Now you're agreeing with me? Bruh...
I'm done replying you.

how egotistical can you get... Reread d analogy again...I have never once agreed with ur baseless declaration that there isn't a god

because YOU don't UNDERSTAND something doesn't mean dat it doesn't exist...

ur lack of comprehension is so low it's a struggle for me coming down to your level...Reread wat u replied to...But this time slowly...

When I make a call...I simply dail the number on d contact list of people I know and press send and then it rings and I talk to my contact...But ask a telecoms expert how I place calls..He would go into details from my phone to network provider to intricate details which I don't care about...Creation story...Big bang theory.... Continuous creation theory... Whatever theory...Is just something dat needs explanation to our understanding ....not because there are various theories and stories....We negate the understanding of a concept because it doesn't satisfy our belief system...Or they are so many wrongs in d world...The god concept is false....

DeLioncourt:
Something begets something...but that first something is not god.
The burden or proof is on the believer. Don't ask me for evidence that your imagination is real. You're the one with the silly imagination..prove to me that it exists.
All you have brought into this is the god particle...and the god particle does not support the creation story...in fact, it negates it.

Mr man this is your topic ..Yes?And u tagged it there is no god... Yes?...I haven't said their is a god yet in all my points...I said give ur mind open... Don't go about declaring wat u have no idea about...It is on your shoulders d burden of proof lies to convince me of this your declaration dat there is no god...I have stated y I keep my mind open on d subject... Please I ask u....Y are u so convinced about this your declaration that there is no god....

DeLioncourt:
What the heck are you even saying? If anything, the higgs boson is proof of the big bang theory...it doesn't support the god hypothesis in any way!!
The scientist that coined the name "god particle" in 1993, Leon lederman, actually wanted to call it the goddamn particle cos it was difficult to find. It's occurrence in a collision of atoms is is one in 10 billion!! Do your research and stop talking trash!!!

As for the organs in the human body, it can simply be subjected to testing to prove that they exist. What do you have to show that god exists except hearsay, wish thinking, misplaced faith and unverifiable miracles?
Your analogy doesn't hold!

As usual, you have nothing to back your belief. Just words and concepts you know nothing about.

the question is have u seen ur heart or liver or lungs in my analogy...No answer.... Okay...Ur goddamn particle does something...It proves life can b created give the right formula with the goddamn particle in its mix...Dat gives precise results for you and I to exist ....Now if there is no higher intelligence than u ....Who cannot even recognize intelligence higher than yourself...This existence wouldn't b... Nothing begets nothing... Something begets something... Plain and simple enough for you to understand now... Better still show me ur proof dat God doesn't exist....If not...It's pointless to argue a point without facts...Stop debating mine and show your facts...

DeLioncourt:
Lmao.. you're asking for scientific evidence??
Are you kidding?
Is there scientific evidence that any god exists?
Is religion not purely based on "what the holy books have said"?
You're a confused person and I am here to tell you.

where is yours that says that a God doesn't exist ....From one confused person to another....

Its a sad thing seeing an "intellectual" person like you spread misinformation and even doubling down on it when shown the information is wrong. Part of displaying intelligence is admitting you are wrong after all then learn from it and move on to other things

show me one myth I quoted one hearsay I said.....U Atheists are all d same...Once u get into a corner u lash out and run ...U have no baise for ur convictions other than feelings and sentiments...A sorry bunch

I can see you have nothing sensible to say, you're stripped bare and all you can do now is double down on all the nonsense you've been saying to save face. You spill myths and wrong info then hope nobody calls you out for the nonsense you spill and when called out you simply double down lol

I'm done here

please show me YOUR research dat says human use more of their brains... or we should just trust u dat humans do and there is no god..... Fact less concepts... Irrational ideas....For ur perspective and emotional stand point...

Don't project your attention seeking on me bro

The topic is about god's existence
False! Only an ignorant person who swallows any nonsense he hears hook, line and sinker would say such. 10% brain claim is a myth

another of your ignorance is cured. don't thank me, its community service
God particle is simply a nickname given to Higgs boson. Its like me naming my cat unicorn and claiming unicorns are real because my cat is called unicorn


What has intelligence got to do with this? and how did you come to the conclusion that I'm not open to the possibility of higher intelligence? of course I'm open to it just like I'm open to possibility of Unicorns, Dragons, Russell's teapot, Bigfoot etc but I wouldn't just accept their existence based on wishful thinking and no evidence

Educate me on Golden Ratio cuz it appears you have no idea who you're talking to
As expected you filled your rant with nothing but myth, myth and ad hominem

Try better next time, you sound like someone capable of doing better than this

DeLioncourt:
Lol.
The god particle doesn't in any way refer to god the creator.
A simple Google search would save you the embarrassment of spewing trash here.
The golden ratio is not in the least bit, proof of the existence of a god.
You have, so far, made no substantial argument.. only involving terms that you have no idea what they mean.

wow dumb dumb n dumb ...The god particle is d reason u r u and d have mass and birds fly and everything exist u need to not just skip through ur Google search but read d content...For something so random to have a golden ratio dat affects man and his world suggests more .... Whether there is a god ...Is like asking if u have a heart or lung or kidney...U have never seen ur organs before but u know they r there...Cos u are alive... Asking if there is a god or saying there isn't is...Shows a lack of imagination....Be wise

hopefulLandlord:
The OP is about god, if you're not here to talk about it then let those who want to do. I can't see a topic about Demons and start talking about videogames. When you go on about manufacturer of watch and others on a topic about god's existence its obvious were you're getting at

Talk more about the golden ratio, about how I'm the physics to the ratio. I suspect you'll expose your ignorance in the process as I think you just want to regurgitate it

okay you want to get personal no problem with dat...The topic is there is no god right...okay...That is ironic seems u think it is an intellectual discussion...Most of ur here are like the 5 the child in a family of 8 because ur father doesn't pay u attention like d 1 or 2 child ...U want to act out to get his attention...Which is pathetic...Mr hopefulllandlord ....The fact is u use just less than 10 percent of ur brain to come up with there is no god...While scientists talk and research abt the god particle.... There is a measure in each ratio in ur DNA dat differences u from d ape since u don't know dat the golden ratio is involved in making u even type ur jargons on this topic...With ur tactless opinions...Other than just wat u feel...Ppl who have intelligence quotas higher Dan u...Are open to the possibility of a higher intelligence at work...Y I suggested u keep ur mind open... Discovery are being made everyday...Dat is shaping d world as u know it...And u r open to it....Yet closed minded to the possibility of any intelligence being higher Dan urself...U have my sympathies... Don't b wise...We need more ignorant ppl like u...

hopefulLandlord:
Y'all should stop parroting this meaningless golden ratio of a thing. if you know a process, just a single process in physics that utilises the golden ratio, please do tell

Have you applied the same thought to what you call god? have you searched for the manufacturer of god or you simply special plead?

first off u need to learn to read ...where is God in my opinions...keep an open mind...Then to d golden ratio...You are living proof of its application...You are physics to the ratio... Whether u want to b or not..It has been in ur DNA all dis while... Which is a pity dat I had to point it out...Be wise

A little assignment for u ...Do ur research on 1.618... Mr Atheist...If there is no evidence in dat to convince you in something more than urself...Then here is another assignment for you Everytime u check d time...Go in search of d original manufacturer of every nut and bolt and fail on dat time piece...Cos if u believe in ur time piece and its creator to tell u d time of d day to sleep eat and believe...U believe in the creator of dat time piece...There is one thing u should digest full...There is nothing u know for certain... Keep ur mind open not shut...Be wise
