Germany first made this technology called transrapid in 1980s but not at this speed. Even at lesser speed the accident was not good.
I wish China all the best in championing new horizons in science and technology. The other day I read about their nuclear battery that can power a smart phone for fifty years. Respect.
tishbite42: Stop all these senseless lies na Are you mad? Gowon offered Bakassi to Cameroon to spite the Biafrans. The documents were used by the ICJ in 2003.
DaddyCoool: Your write-up is full of nonsense but it's not your fault - you just don't know. But I don't know where to start. Gowon was not aligned with Igbos at all - the counter coup that brought him to power was a revenge against Igbos and dozens Igbo officers were killed. Gowon reneging on Aburi was on the advice of people like Prince Solomon Akenzua, later Oba Erediauwa. Has nothing to do with anything you said. Awolowo did not want secession. He did say West would secede if East seceded - a threat he couldn't live up to and instead accepted Minister of finance under Gowon. This thread is a special on Gowon's 90th birthday. Has nothing to do with things you were saying.
It is either you are ignorant or you read wrong history texts. You are not referring to the antecedents of the war. Before independence, Azikiwe aligned with the north against the proposal of Awolowo who suggested a union of the Southern regions.southwest began to play opposition. Zim wanted to put the northern yoke on the west but smartly endged out by what you call betrayal today. Yoruba had had a rapport with the north via Islam and jihad. Zik, who grew up in Kaduna didn't see the danger and deception of the north. After the independence, seven years precisely, Ojukwu saw the handwriting on the wall. He wanted to break up. Awolowo also put his card on the table. He demanded, if igbos seceded, Yoruba would not join the north to form a lopsided country. The war was war between pact partners. Ojukwu could not afford to allow the East and West to leave. War was the only option left. He was so desperate to have offered Bakassi peninsula to the Cameroon.
ayufun: While this is not a Politics section, and would better be in private conversation, I enjoyed the discourse.
Blacks do not understand leadership, you've said it all.
Funny enough, our leaders are more exposed to the advancement in lives and nature, yet remained crude, just for selfish interest and to keep our people in the dark.
Mrwhite09: lately, I have been thinking that for my life to change I must get married. I have been living in squalor for so long. Maybe when I get married and have another mouth to feed, I will have more derive to excape poverty. Hohestly I am tired of all these sapa that I am facing.
Encourage yourself. When people say they are going home to eat, not everybody gets home to eat delicacies. There are people poorer than you financially but rich in their minds and attitudes to life.
If you have a woman in your life and she's ready to live with you and believes in you,go ahead. I married to a friend's house years back. Now things are far better. I was contemplating suicide then. Now have a good job and a lovely family. If I had ended it and by some means I could see where I am now, I would be blaming myself. Be inspired.
ayufun: You made me laugh and wonder at the same time.
Unfortunately, we're moving at decimal percentage of the advancement in science and tech in those developed countries.
Our leaders are just busy amassing wealth they can not even use to develop this nation.
Steal and hide
We have been having prodigal fathers not today. The truth of the matter is that blacks cannot make it till Thy kingdom come. It is not just in us! We don't understand the dynamics of human development. All the principles and philosophy for running the world were discovered and documented by white people. We know nothing.
DaddyCoool: Example, see my video above. A whole grown man saying he abandoned a lengthy detailed agreement that he willingly signed because of who made announcement first!😅 What has announcement to do with following an agreement you signed??!
If you were in his shoes you would understand better. Igbos and the north were political friends while West played opposition. He was facing a threat from his political friend and another from Awolowo who wanted a secession without shedding the blood of his people. If you were such a leader, would you want the nation to disintegrate like that? Tinubu, our current president once said he didn't believe in Nigeria. Now, as the president, would he wish the nation to scatter? I don't think so.
Aburi truce was between the two warring sides and it didn't solve the problem in its totality. He had to choose the easiest way out, which was war
Mind you,he is a soldier. He thinks like a. military man not a civilian. So, when you people criticize, think about the man also
Tinubu is punishing us now for his economic life policy as an accountant, who believe in saving money and having value for money. Whatever his reasons I need food on my table. Yet he sticks to his policy. Na sọ my brother. The igbos should allow the dead dog to lie and do reasonable politicking. The last election showed that something great is in the about to happen. Rather than igbos abusing everybody, especially yorubas, it is easier to get the presidency through the three southern, geopolitical zones and Christian middle belt than aligning with the north. For now, the north doesn't want a Igbo president.
My forebears were still fighting demons in the bush using incantations and juju to transport themselves. The oyinbo men were busy discovering the Laws of Nature and science and philosophy and good governance.
I am a Yoruba man, my own brothers who were not soldiers were conscripted to fight in the war. Which one concerned my family and igbos fighting Nigeria. Many innocent Nigerians equally died in the war, many lost businesses and property.
Ojukwu was warned by Wole soyinka, Awolowo, Professor Sam Aluko
He said he was going to fight with sticks Useless people making unnecessary noise over the years
Afonja44: English is not the mother tongue of Igbos, Hausas, French, Chinese, Russians, Zulus, Koreans, Germans yet they generally speak it well.
How did all these other tribes around the world master this 2nd language without issues?
Is it a result of collective IQ deficiency that a particular tribe just cannot grasp the most common language in mankind's history and keeps using not my mother tongue as an excuse?
Clarify please.
Their son won Nobel prize in literature nah! Na Igbo language?
Janosky: Oga, Stick with your IBERIBEISM. Your Trinitarian mentors have pushed aside the error filled textus receptus manuscripts of the KJV to publish numerous Bible translations. The Catholic Church, your Trinitarian mentors, have published the New Jerusalem Bible because they don't trust the error filled KJV textus receptus.
Oga,Which post have you made on Nairaland using archaic "language and arrangement and presentation" of the KJV from the first sentence to the last sentence of your post?
Oga,there is no evidence to dethrone your IBERIBEISM.
Isa.44.8 - Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Isa.45.5 - I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me : I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isa.45.21 - Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Your NWT version presents two gods: God and god. The dubious translation presents idolatry. The translators have no identity neither do we know their proficiency in Greek language.
Your organization is harassing people up and down with nonsense.
TenQ: Yoruba Muslims beg for a Truce with Traditional Yoruba Religionists
For many who had not been aware, there had been a brutal reprisal attack by Yoruba Traditional Worshippers (Isese) against the Yoruba Muslims and the Muslims have caved in. The Isese worshippers on social media especially YouTube who daily gave insults to both Mohammed and Allah were unrestrained as daily these traditional worshippers brought facts upon facts from the Qur'an and Hadiths to discredit Mohammed, Islam and Allah.
Unfortunately, for the Yoruba Muslims, most of the Isese worshippers were former Muslims and some could even speak Arabic. Islam was humiliated as most of the Islamic clerics had no answers for the Isese worshippers claims backed up with incontrovertible evidences. Many Muslims were hearing for the first time some of what I've been saying here on Nairaland.
In the video below, one of the Elders of the Isese worshippers is begging their members to soft-pedal on their exposure of Islam as the Muslims have sent some emissaries to seek for a Truce.
It seems that the only only language Islam understand is violence by a superior force: like Israel dealing with Hamas and Hezbollah with poundings of supremacy.
The Origin of this conflict was in Ilorin early last year when the Council of Ulama (Islamic clerics) in Kwara State forcefully prevented those planning to celebrate traditional religion or Ifa festival in Ilorin, the state capital, to retrace their steps. The council warned that Ifa festival, under any guise, would not be allowed in any part of Ilorin Emirate, comprising Asa, Moro, Ilorin East, Ilorin West and Ilorin South local government areas.
Since the Yoruba Muslims used a combination of Government enforcement powers and brute force with intimidation to harass them, the Isese worshippers went on their counter attack on social media.
It was so bad that it even became an intra-Islamic war between Islamic clerics cautioning each other on the way their fellow clerics have been attacking the Isese worshippers resulting in total humiliation for them
The Yoruba Muslims have now called for a Truce with the Isese Worshippers (and they even included Christians in this meeting whose date is yet to be fixed) as many secrets that were not supposed to he heard about Islam are being aired in public. Many Yoruba Muslims have abandoned their faith in Islam.
The YouTube handle of the Isese worshippers is Tani Olohun for those who can speak some Yoruba
Some of their Topics were: -Mohammed stole a Red Panty (Underwear) -Mohammed is a Pedophile -Will All Muslims enter Hell Fire -God is different from Allah -Islamic religion require no brain -Mohammed had sex with a Corpse -Islam, the Religion of Lies
In the video below, an Islamic Cleric claims to become a Yoruba Traditional Worshipper
Questions: 1. Do you support Imam Alhaji AkewugbaGold for calling for a Truce with the Isese Worshippers? 2. Do you think that the Internet has been a curse for Islam as damning evidences abound that discredit islamic doctrines? 3. Why is it that Muslims only respect superior violence? 4. Are Muslims afraid of the Truth?
AntiChristian: Yes, I know you will only believe them if they came from your Bible like those weird verses in Revelations and others that each denominations interprets as they like!
I am sorry for you too!
But you won't admit your lies when you lied!
Everything is lie without concrete proof! Your proof are in videos and you have no mind of your own! Show me how i lied here now with concrete proofs! You and all who are like you are simply hypocrites!
The nonsense exists only in your brain! And you all are the hypocrites! The belief in question does not involve God like Pastor Adeboye's! (You can't even respect an Elder)! God doesn't eat! Only creation Human, Jinns, animals, Plants, etc. needs nourishment! Hence they need food to survive! God is free from needing food to survive!You can show me a verse in the Bible where your own form of God eats?
If he eats then he would sweat, excrete, fart and pass fecal matter! Then we can discuss what type of digestive system? What type of other systems?
Which lie. Mohammad banned incantation, but, when he didn't have power to heal scorpion's sting. His followers told him what they were using before their conversion to Islam. They recited it in his hearing, he approved it. The people used it.
Why do you say it is a lie. It is your book from your Islamic site.
Would I deny any versions of the Bible for various interpretations? I don't think so, so far Jesus is the central figure.
Your prophet is the most corrupt religion founder known to the world.
AntiChristian: We believe in it and our eyes are clearly open!
No one is deceiving us.
These are matters of the unseen and Muslims believe them!
Now you know! There are major sins and minor ones in Islam. And the devilish theory you quote above in bold is foreign to Islam!
If one does evil to do good then the intention was already evil so he would have no reward! If someone were to steal a big sum of money/ or earn big from Betting and help millions of people! He would have no reward as his intension was evil from the outset! Actions are judged according to intentions!
God punish the devil.
I like your interpretations. Like the Alfas. They can lie!
What about 72 virgins.? What do you do to get your own.
