I agree with you tho. Perhaps they are but it's pretty costly to remove the chin, it will increase the price and potential buyers will scream on top of their lungs. I learnt Apple has a patent on that but not too sure tho

Na, not a patent issue. It's about the cost of using flexible display. https://www.askvg.com/why-do-android-mobile-phones-with-notch-have-chin/

Aaaargh! Too much ignorance here !



Read again, it is a BOOT arrangement, meaning it will be built , owned, operated by the Russians before being transferred to Nigeria after a stipulated period.



Scientists don't maintain plants, technicians[b][/b] do.



1. I'm not sure of average rate at the moment, but nuclear plants are the costliest to set up among the popular energy plants. They don't come cheap. Consolation is that they produce the cheapest electricity of the lot.

2. Japan is shutting down because of its environmental risk profile I.e it is in an earthquake prone region, while Nigeria has a better environmental risk profile in that respect.

Other nations shutting down have better energy mix and older nuclear reactors/plants. Ours is new and based on newer and safer technology too.




It would have been a good thing for people of Daura, but nuclear plants are sited near large fresh water source for (tertiary) cooling of reactors. So that's why it is in Kogi (rivers Niger and Benue) and Akwa Ibom (Qua Oboe river).



No he will carry on with the national policy on energy mix and nuclear power generation. It is part of our national development programmes.



No sir. It is a national policy inducted under late president UMYA



Geregu is in Kogi state in Ebira (?) land. Calm down, it is a national asset. Stop reasoning like boko haram.



Read it again and see IAEA being involved. Building nuclear plants is not like buying Tiger or Elepaq generators. There are stringent statutory requirements and operational procedures to meet.



Hydro dams have their strong points, but they are not exactly environmental friendly and are highly susceptible to hydrological cycle and plenty of community related issues both upstream and downstream. Moreover, you need energy mix to improve your general reliability.



I pray and hope (and would lobby if I'm in such prime position)that one of the next sets planned will be sited between Imo river and Anambra river courses. You don't know what you are wishing away. Pls aclm down and atop reasoning like Boko Haram.



Many things go under project capital cost sir. You can't be sure until you see the breakdown. Most times, associated infrastructure, consultancy/supervision, and logistics make such costs swell especially in low developed environment like ours.



It is natural reaction to "hate" new ideas. Please calm down and adapt to change sir. Lol

Comparing Nigeria energy policy to Germany's is like comparing a poor man that has family of 12 and earning #18k minimum wage with Osun State ( :p ) and idle house wife to a senior manager in Schlumberger with a senior bank manager wife and two kids on choices of food: one has better options than the other.

This is the kind of posts we should be viewing on NL. Not ethnically-biased ones. Good job sir.

Mrokaykay:

If You think this guy is denying his tribe click like and if u think he is denying Yoruba tribe click share

How can you be sure about the tribe that an anonymous person belongs to based on mere assumptions. He can be any tribe or ethnic group he claims to be. You don't know him personally, do you?

I hope this little will help

So strange .. Never seen a Chelsea fan support me . Always at loggerheads . A Chelsea fan would rather support Madrid and most Man utd fans go for Madrid as well cos of Ronaldo

Not MOST Man United fans. That stat is misleading.
As a Man United fan, I can't imagine myself supporting Real Madrid (those f***king pirates). I don't like them.
I prefer to watch Barcelona (cos of style) & I must commend you guys this season. Even though some Barcelona fan weren't totally in support of Lucho at the begining.
I think fans shouldn't castigate the manager when their team isn't playing well and ascribe praise ONLY to the players when the team is successful.
Although I admire Pep's (Barcelona) team cos of style of play but, this current Barcelona team is damn efficient. I hope you guys win the UCL.
P.S.: I hope I've not hurt your eyes too much.

The Fable of the Christ Michael B. Paulkovich
I have always been a staunch Bible skeptic but not a Christ-mythicist. I
maintained that Jesus probably existed
but had fantastic stories foisted upon
the memory of his earthly yet
iconoclastic life. After exhaustive research for my first
book, I began to perceive both the light
and darkness from history. I discovered
that many prominent Christian fathers
believed with all pious sincerity that
their savior never came to Earth or that if he did, he was a Star-Trekian
character who beamed down pre-
haloed and full-grown, sans
transvaginal egress. And I discovered
other startling bombshells. An exercise that struck me as
meritorious, even today singular,
involved reviving research into Jesus-era
writers who should have recorded Christ
tales but did not. John Remsburg
enumerated forty-one “silent” historians in The Christ (1909). To this
end, I spent many hours bivouacked in
university libraries, the Library of
Congress, and on the Internet. I
terminated that foray upon tripling
Remsburg’s count: in my book, I offer 126 writers who should have but did
not write about Jesus (see the box on p.
57). Perhaps the most bewildering
“silent one” is the super-Savior himself.
Jesus is a phantom of a wisp of a
personage who never wrote anything. So, add one more: 127. Perhaps none of these writers is more
fascinating than Apollonius Tyanus,
saintly first-century adventurer and
noble paladin. Apollonius was a magic-
man of divine birth who cured the sick
and blind, cleansed entire cities of plague, foretold the future, and fed the
masses. He was worshiped as a god and
as a son of a god. Despite such
nonsense claims, Apollonius was a real
man recorded by reliable sources. Because Jesus ostensibly performed
miracles of global expanse (such as in
Matthew 27), his words going “unto the
ends of the whole world” (Rom. 10),
one would expect virtually every literate
person to have recorded those events. A Jesus contemporary such as Apollonius
would have done so, as well as those
who wrote of Apollonius. Such is not the case. In Philostratus’s
third-century chronicle Vita Apollonii,
there is no hint of Jesus. Nor does Jesus
appear in the works of other Apollonius
epistolarians and scriveners: Emperor
Titus, Cassius Dio, Maximus, Moeragenes, Lucian, Soterichus Oasites,
Euphrates, Marcus Aurelius, or Damis of
Hierapolis. It seems that none of these
first- to third-century writers ever heard
of Jesus, his miracles and alleged
worldwide fame be damned. Another bewildering author is Philo of
Alexandria. He spent his first-century life
in the Levant and even traversed Jesus-
land. Philo chronicled contemporaries of
Jesus—Bassus, Pilate, Tiberius, Sejanus,
Caligula—yet knew nothing of the storied prophet and rabble-rouser
enveloped in glory and astral marvels. Historian Flavius Josephus published his
Jewish Wars circa 95 CE. He had lived in
Japhia, one mile from Nazareth—yet
Josephus seems unaware of both
Nazareth and Jesus. (I devoted a chapter
to the interpolations in Josephus’s works that make him appear to write of
Jesus when he did not.) The Bible venerates the artist formerly
known as Saul of Tarsus, but he was a
man essentially oblivious to his savior.
Paul was unaware of the virgin mother
and ignorant of Jesus’s nativity,
parentage, life events, ministry, miracles, apostles, betrayal, trial, and
harrowing passion. Paul didn’t know
where or when Jesus lived and
considered the crucifixion metaphorical
(Gal. 2:19–20). Unlike what is claimed in
the Gospels, Paul never indicated that Jesus had come to Earth. And the “five
hundred witnesses” claim (1 Cor. 15) is
a forgery. Qumran, hidey-hole for the Dead Sea
Scrolls, lies twelve miles from
Bethlehem. The scroll writers, coeval
and abutting the holiest of hamlets one
jaunty jog eastward, never heard of
Jesus. Christianity still had that new-cult smell in the second century, but
Christian presbyter Marcion of Pontus in
144 CE denied any virgin birth or
childhood for Christ. Jesus’s infant
circumcision (Luke 2:21) was thus a lie,
as well as the crucifixion! Marcion claimed that Luke was corrupted; Christ
self-spawned in omnipresence, esprit
sans corps. I read the works of second-century
Christian father Athenagoras and never
encountered the word Jesus—
Athenagoras was unacquainted with the
name of his savior! This floored me. Had
I missed something? No; Athenagoras was another pious early Christian who
was unaware of Jesus. The original Mark ended at 16:8, with
later forgers adding the fanciful
resurrection tale. John 21 also describes
post-death Jesus tales, another forgery.
Millions should have heard of the
crucifixion with its astral enchantments: zombie armies and meteorological
marvels (Matt. 27) recorded not by any
historian but only in the dubitable
scriptures scribbled decades later by
superstitious folks. The Jesus saga is
further deflated by Nazareth, a town without piety and in fact having no
settlement until after the war of 70 CE
—suspiciously, just around the time the
Gospels were concocted. Conclusion When I consider those 126 writers, all of
whom should have heard of Jesus but
did not—and Paul and Marcion and
Athenagoras and Matthew with a
tetralogy of opposing Christs, the
silence from Qumran and Nazareth and Bethlehem, conflicting Bible stories, and
so many other mysteries and omissions
—I must conclude that Christ is a
mythical character. Jesus of Nazareth
was nothing more than an urban (or
desert) legend, likely an agglomeration of several evangelic and deluded rabbis
who might have existed. I also include in my book similarities of
Jesus to earlier God-sons such as Sandan
and Mithra and Horus and Attis, too
striking to disregard. The Oxford
Classical Dictionary and Catholic
Encyclopedia, as well as many others, corroborate. Thus, today I side with Remsburg—and
with Frank Zindler, John M. Allegro,
Godfrey Higgins, Robert M. Price,
Salomon Reinach, Samuel Lublinski,
Charles-François Dupuis, Allard Pierson,
Rudolf Steck, Arthur Drews, Prosper Alfaric, Georges Ory, Tom Harpur,
Michael Martin, John Mackinnon
Robertson, Alvar Ellegård, David
Fitzgerald, Richard Carrier, René Salm,
Timothy Freke, Peter Gandy, Barbara
Walker, Michael Martin, D.M. Murdock, Thomas Brodie, Earl Doherty, Thomas L.
Thompson, Bruno Bauer, and others—
heretics and iconoclasts and
freethinking dunces all, it would seem. If all the evidence and nonevidence
including 126 (127?) silent writers
cannot convince, I’ll wager that we will
uncover much more. Yet this is but a
tiny tip of the mythical-Jesus iceberg:
nothing adds up for the fable of the Christ.
