And so, I launch this thread with the following question for KingEbukasblog-
I was speaking to a European white humanist that lived in Lagos for 2 years. He said that churches and mosques should start promoting family planning with condoms because Nigeria has one of the highest birth rates in the world. Our major cities are getting too congested.
Kingebukasblog, what do you think about a ban on pastors and imams preaching against condoms or family planning due to the looming overpopulation crisis? |
Christianity Etc › A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by Logicbwoy(op): 10:34am On May 03, 2016 |
I am simply creating this thread in order to gather the greatest minds of nairaland to discuss things from outside and within a religious perspective with a focus on Nigeria.
This thread can be about anything anyone finds intelligent. I personally love to talk about time travel, religious slavery and spiritual music.
I also want this thread to be a thread where the most difficult questions are posed and intelligent answers given.

freecocoa: You can't show yourself in that context(well except you are an artwork or an exhibitionist ), you can only show yourself if you were hiding from something or from doing something.
Showing your hand is an idiomatic expression, used to mean to 'reveal' something, mostly used in a game of cards.
It's best to ask for someone if you expect another person to give you that information, and if you seek to find someone on your own, you search for the person assuming you don't know where they are, but if you know where they are, you go there and look for them. "Showing yourself" too can be idiomatic to fit that situation. I say this for 2 reasons 1) "Showing yourself" logically can never be literal because you can't literally step outside yourself and present your body. 2) "Showing yourself" is actually the most concisem practical and appropriate way to say that someone is either revealing their true self or some hidden talent. 3) The op did not show any context for "showing yourself".....so how can you claim that I used it in the wrong context ======================================================= As for "looking for someone", you are talking a whole lot of nonsense. When the police come to someone's door in American/British movies, what do they say? "We are looking for MR Thief, do you know his whereabouts" "We are asking for/asking about Mr Thief, do you know his whereabouts" |

Rapmoney: I know even educated people commit grammatical blunders sometimes but there are grammatical blunders that are just so outrageous and shameful at the same time, when they come right out of the mouths of supposed 'graduates' from tertiary institutions!
If you have been guilty of the following as regard spoken English, then you have clearly moved from being a 'Half-baked' graduate to a 'Quarter-baked' graduate!!! 
1) 'You are smarting'...I heard a guy at a plaza who claimed to be a graduate saying this! Gush! Being smart is very different from being fast or slick. By the way, there's no verb such as 'smarting' in English language which means the same thing as what this young man was trying to say! 
2) 'You are showing yourself'...just like the one above, how can someone be 'showing' himself/herself? So human being don turn movie? Na wa o!
3) 'Oya, come and go'...two opposite verbs. You are telling the person to come and at the same time, to go! Again, what's the meaning of 'Oya'?
4) 'My body is scratching me'...your body can only itch you and not scratch. You scratch when you use your fingers to stroke a surface roughly! Lol! 
5) 'My phone is 'more' better than yours...this sentence can surely make you appear a 'quarter-bakie' You can't use two comparative adjectives in a sentence! We have good, better, best. When you compare two things, the middle one which is 'better' should be used so there's no need for 'more' which is also a comparative adjective but goes with 'than'. As in 'more than' 
6) 'Did she went to the market'?...as absurd as this sentence is, I have seen many 'graduates' saying it! Two verbs with past tense form in the same sentence? 
7) 'Ola, something is smelling. Can you hear it...ehen!!! 'HEAR'? English!!!
8. 'People has' or 'she have'...'has' is a singular auxiliary verb that goes with a singular subject while 'have' is a plural auxiliary verb that goes with a plural subject.
9) 'They takes people for granted'...this one is common on NL. A plural subject does not go with a singular verb and vice versa. 'Take' is plural and 'takes' is singular which goes with a singular subject as well. Take note of 'They' being a plural subject.
10) 'I am looking for Funmilayo'...you can't be looking for someone. Instead, say 'I am asking of Funmilayo'. You can only look for what is lost! It happens regularly when people go to check on others. We can only start looking for Funmilayo if she is declared missing! 
I hope these help! We are all learning. It is only a foolish man that takes offence when he is corrected!
Good day!!! 
You can add yours! Number 1), 2) and 10) are all false. 1) Smarting is a verb (albeit not in the right context for what you said) 2) "Showing yourself" is not wrong, especially if "showing your hand" is a commonly used phrase. 10) "I am looking for Funmilayo" is also correct. One looks for things he/she has not seen. Also, "asking for" is not always a suitable or appropriate phrase when actually trying to get someone. cc Seun, Lalasticlala. How do these threads get to the front page? |

Reyginus: I'm sorry for that even though that was clearly in symmetry with the way we both converse here. You call me a Pant Washer and a White Knight but I never accuse you of trying to make me unhappy because I know you know we are always joking. I don't think we take our jibes serious. lol......nice excuse. When I do it, I am a bad guy. A troll. Illogical When Reyginus does it, he is only joking. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Searching & Sharing Chat by Logicbwoy: 9:34pm On May 02, 2016 |
Reyginus: Is this a smart thing to do? You are pulling legs and catching fun and someone is hurt by it and you don't think you have to reexamine your position? You don't think this flow is not one you roll with? When Logic fails in correcting you what then comes to your rescue?
There's a limit to fun. If the humiliation of a person in any form is what gives you fun then you are a manimal. It shouldn't be so. No, I'm jot using his death as a moral platform.
You know, in life the evil often perpetuates in quantum heights and we lose our sense of positive morality. We are often brought to a balance by an external impulse on our negative equilibrium. I'm trying to draw from that balance. Guy, you are a flaming hypocrite. Were you not trolling to hurt my feelings with ishilove and tufanja?  Reyginus: Don't expect too much when the man is intellectually fragile and ignorantly solid. His approach beats the logic he always tries to hang upon. The options are usually to pamper his tantrums or knock him off his feet while at it. I prefer both. ^^^ Care to explain this comment? Hypocrite? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Searching & Sharing Chat by Logicbwoy: 9:18pm On May 02, 2016 |
Reyginus: Is this how you want your relationship to be? Do you really want to hate a fellow human being forever? Come on. I only had three arguments with Freemanam but I've been depressed all day. I thought I have lost my humanity but this showed me otherwise. Once again my essence of existence is threatened. Don't bore me with platitudes. I have let go of hate a long time ago. What exists now is just fun and pulling of legs.  The matter between me and ishilove should have ended long ago with ishilove being banned for a long time. But no, the corrupt nature of nairaland allowed her and her ilk to do nonsense everywhere. So, I am just rolling with the flow. Behaving like a Roman when in Rome. As for you, stop using someone's death to as a moral platform. Stop being so self righteous. |

The death of Freemanam has kept me depressed since morning and seeing you two lock horns is worsening my situation. You two can do this for us, yourselves and our world. How do you want to be remembered? Please I beg you two with every humanity in my soul and in the name of whatever you believe in. Please. Please. Go and wash panties abeg.

I prefer here- this is where Ishilove has no gang and no sycophant pantie washers.  I have found out that Ishilove's braggadocio only comes when she has back up. Can't you see that she even apologized when Tufanja ignored her?  No one sends her here! (btw  na Tufanja you dey call "pompous clown"?) |
