It is beyond me why some people have no shame in stating that one bunch of f.u.c.ktard or another sees them as monkeys, roaches, or subhuman. The way i was brought up, If you ever phrase or attempt to express ideas of racism like this, you'll receive a near life changing conk on the head by a senior someone.

I actually don't believe individuals that express themselves like this are Nigerians, we have too much pride and cultural learning. I'd like to hear or read more of what you people think of Arabs, whites, Asians than what they think of you. As for me, no f.u.c.ktard is big enough to look down on me, i'm the one who does the looking down.

Nigerians can be funny sha.

Let's put it this way, in the Steve Harvey game show, Family Feud; the contestant who says, " Ask For Driver's License!" to the question, "worldwide, what do people say police are primarily known for?" will earn the highest score ever recorded.


In the top ten answers, solving crime would probably be No 10. Unlawful maiming and killing would be No 2. grin

Much as i admire Elon Musk and love his portfolio of work, because i grew up with similar dreams to him, i'm increasingly concerned about what his influence eventually means for the future of people of Africa descent. There's much left unstated.

Nigeria can create one university - in the guise of a project aimed at replicating the best of harvard and worlds' top universities . There are excellent Nigeria and none Nigeria minds and experienced individuals of colour like Claudine Gay (Video) that could be employed to get an institution of this calibre, symbol and statement up and running.

Blame opposition politics. In addition to the general brainwashing inflicted by the West on the worldwide black race, Nigeria's immoral and deviant Opposition Politics Culture has further brainwashed many Nigerians.

Right now there'll be many happy to tell you that sweeping the streets of some crappy Western city is better than anything Nigeria can offer. Yet, there was a time Nigerian men would literally choose death in the name of honour. What's yours was yours. You'll not in the name of glitter or money disown what is yours! If meant I’ll starve or go out in rags, so be it, you'll not make me grovel! Now Nigerian men will gladly turn around and spread the asscheek for a shafting from Abroad! South Africa, India, England, Afghanistan it matters not. Opposition politics is the difference. It has made Nigerians tolerate every kind of indignity - all in the name of so it can be said that "It is the fault of the government"
Science/TechnologyNew DNA Nanobots Can Replicate Using UV Light by Litmus(op): 12:23pm On Dec 16, 2023
An international team of scientists has collaborated to develop a new DNA-based nanobot that can self-replicate indefinitely under the right conditions.

The team of researchers from New York University developed DNA-based nanobots that could, in theory, replicate themselves exponentially. Developed by Feng Zhou and his team, the tiny DNA bots consist of only four DNA strands and can copy themselves one at a time using their structure as a template. These DNA nanobots could open up exciting opportunities to produce life-saving drugs inside your body.

Self-replicating nanobots

The nanobots are created with four DNA strands and measure around 100 nanometers. To put that into perspective, you could line up about a thousand of them to fit the width of a human hair, give or take. They are also held in a solution with specific DNA-strand raw materials needed for them to work.

The team of researchers was formed from a collaboration of scientists from New York University, the Ningbo Cixi Institute of Biomechanical Engineering, and The Chinese Academy of Sciences. Together, they developed nanorobots capable of assembling pieces into three-dimensional shapes. This significantly improved over previous attempts, which could only create two-dimensional shapes. The new robots use "multiple-axis precise folding and positioning" to access the third dimension and more degrees of freedom.

"By making use of externally controlled temperature and ultraviolet (UV) light, our programmable robot, ~100 nanometers in size, grabs different parts, positions and aligns them so that they can be welded, releases the construct, and returns to its original configuration ready for its next operation," the team explains in their study published in Science Robotics. "Our robot can also self-replicate its 3D structure and functions, surpassing single-step templating (restricted to two dimensions) by using folding to access the third dimension and more degrees of freedom," they add.

So what's the big deal? Well, nanobots like these have the potential to manufacture drugs, enzymes, and other chemicals inside the cells of the body. The researchers emphasized that these machines can self-replicate their entire 3D structure and functions.

Andrew Surman, a researcher at King's College London who was not involved in the study, believes that nanobots represent a significant advancement in developing DNA-based machines capable of manufacturing drugs or chemicals and serving as basic robots or computers. Prior research has been limited to 2D shapes that had to be folded into 3D shapes, which carried the risk of error. However, the new research enables the creation of 3D structures from scratch.

But, it is important to note that the DNA bots are not entirely self-contained. The robots act in response to externally controlled temperature and UV light. UV light is required to weld the pieces of DNA they assemble. "Our introduction of multiple-axis precise folding and positioning as a tool/technology for nanomanufacturing will open the door to more complex and useful nano- and microdevices," the team explains in their paper.



"Gray Goo Scenario"

It is all very exciting, but some raise concerns about such technology if developed unchecked and without limits. This is something called the "Gray Goo Scenario," which posits that self-replicating nanobots, without built-in shut-offs or limitations, could produce exponentially, turning organic matter into a countless legion of nanobots. Thankfully, this is unlikely with these DNA nanobots as they cannot reproduce themselves or anything else without having sufficient supplies of precise DNA fragments and UV light.

A good question would be why does the average Nigerian believe he knows better than every institutional authority figure and would run every institution better than those in charge?

Even a roadside, junkyard dwelling Nigerian, uneducated, poorly educated, or even a little retarded mentally or physically thinks he knows better than everyone in power ?


Curiously, these types of Nigerians never offer alternatives to what they criticise for fear, perhaps, that thire self belief - as superiors to those in power - may at least be challenged....

Curiouscity:
Where has this gotten us to?

With Nigerians leaving in droves, do they denounce their religion and marital status to work for employers in Western countries?

In western countries, most employers give coffee/tea breaks every 2-3hours. We encourage ethnic/religions division when it favors us, then turn around to shout segregation/racism when it does favors us.

How does number of children and their ages affect my productivity please?

Strikes me as though the question intends to identify whether the applicant is a family man and thus liable to be a more responsible employee if accepted for the role. In addition, unlike a single individual, a family man is likelier to tolerant difficult work conditions and persevere at the role due to dependents that rely on him.

Questions related to faith may be for similar reasons. People devoted to a religion may be deemed as individuals more liable to be constrained and disciplined than individuals without perceived beliefs systems.
