Seeeeeeee:
When people get frustrated they start blame game just the way APC is blaming PDP, but in this case 5 children and 2 husbands dead, spiritual force is involve sure.
Never say never, the human biological system is so
complex that we have little knowledge of what can harm
it, my guess is that what killed the two husband and five children
is from the woman herself or the environment where they live.

Now I see, you look at nature and because you don't know how it

u should be producing ur sun by now since u know the particles maybe u are over educated I have an assignment for u gather ur kids and tell them there is no God let me see if u won't regret for the rest of ur life
Some people once said that about birds, now we have airplanes,
some pointed to fish, now we have ships.

Making "sun" is not a new concept, just google nuclear fusion and update
yourself.

As to telling kids about god, one would have expected Nigeria to be an eldorado
since all parents tell their children about god, now we know better with the
happenings around us which has shown that god has no positive effect in peoples life
and behaviours.

I am not saying that the so called "juju" doesn't work, just
that it is wrong to attach any spirituality to it. In fact, many of
the "sleeping juju" are contraband chemical reagents.

Business › Nigeria's Oil Economy Under Threat - Bloomberg by neocortex(op): 11:41am On May 16, 2016
Drag your attention away from the Middle East for a moment. While policymakers have been focused on Saudi Arabia's oil market machinations, what really matters right now is happening 3,000 miles away in the Niger River delta.The country that was, until recently, Africa's biggest crude producer is slipping back into chaos. A wave of attacks and accidents have hit infrastructure, taking Nigeria's output down to 20-year lows.

Nigeria's Output Woes

Production is at a more-than-20-year low after militant attacks and accidental damage.

Oil prices are responding, rising to their highest in more than six months. Part of this is explained by the International Energy Agency lifting demand estimates this week. But taking both things together, it's easy to doubt whether current oil surpluses are sustainable.With no solution in sight to the problems that beset the delta's creeks and mangrove swamps, production from onshore and shallow-water oil fields looks vulnerable.

If the latest group of freedom fighters seeks to outdo its predecessors, then deepwater facilities may be at risk too.The Niger Delta Avengers have certainly been busy, forcing Shell's Forcados terminal to shut in about 250,000 barrels of daily exports; and breaching an offshore Chevron facility in the 160,000 barrels per day Escravos system. In April, ENI had to declare force majeure -- letting it stop shipments without breaching contracts -- on exports of its Brass River grade after a pipeline fire.

It's hard to see any long-term let-up given Nigeria's record on fixing this problem. The previous wave of discontent, which hit a peak in 2009, only came to an end when President Yar'Adua offered amnesty, training programs and monthly cash payments to nearly 30,000 militants, at a yearly cost of about $500 million. Some leaders of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), the militant group, got lucrative security contracts.But the failure to properly address local grievances means it was only a matter of time before another wave of angry young men took up the fight for a better deal for southern Nigeria.

The crisis has been hastened by new president Muhammadu Buhari's termination of the ex-militants' security contracts and his seeking the arrest of former MEND leaders.The Avengers now say they want independence for the Niger River delta.And it's not as if Nigeria's oil woes are limited to the militants. Exxon had to declare force majeure on Qua Iboe exports after a drilling platform ran aground and ruptured a pipeline, while Shell did similar with Bonny Light exports after a leak from a pipeline feeding the terminal.
Nigeria's Export Streams
Four of the five largest streams are partly or totally suspended

In its latest report, the IEA assessed the world's need for OPEC crude this quarter at 31.9 million barrels a day, with Nigeria contributing 1.62 million to the group's 32.76 million output in April.Petromatrix, an oil research group, believes Nigerian production may now be little more than 1 million barrels per day. It won't take much more disruption to tip the global oil balance from surplus to deficit.

You don't expect the thief to tell you his secret , that is if he understands it.

One would have expected him to touch the wall of the police station so that
the police will sleep off and he will escape, but he won't do that because he
is not with the sleep inducer substance he uses.

my broda, God isn't d reference point here, u are. Am trying 2 reason along d borders of ur psychology, based on ur idiosyncracy.
I jst dnt bliv dat a goat is a goat because i can c it. Actually, d goat that i can c makes me wonder d numerous vertebrates out there that i cant c, or cant prove thr existence.
Even in d periodic table in chemistry, thr are elements whose properties, mass and atomic nos re predicted but whch hav nt been discovered. Even our knwledge abt energy and matter is so limited, thats y our applications 2 these remain primitive,
i bliv wat i can c points me 2 wat i can not c.
Well, you have answered your own question.

Does the vertebrate and elements you can't see ask you for worship ?

Do they claim to be your creator by "inspiring" some select men ?

Are you afraid that these unseen elements will burn you in hell forever if you
don't acknowledge or worship ?

Every time you encountered an unexplainable scenario , do you say "oh elements"
this must be your handiwork ?

If you answer all these questions sincerely you will find out that unknown and god
are entirely different things.

It is one thing for someone to claim that a yellow serpent lives in a distant planet,
it is another thing for one to claim that this serpent creates everything and he will
punish those who who don't believe it.

While you may not be required to prove your personal opinions, it is mandatory
that provide evidence to any claim you make, especially one that supposedly controls
and affect every body.

Family › Re: Cheating Doesnt Stop A Man From Loving His Wife by neocortex: 6:44pm On May 15, 2016
marvelck:
Most times, when a man cheats on his wife, it doesnt mean the man no longer love or have feelings for his wife. Most men cant do without tasting other girls. Its in their DNA. When a man goes out to cheat, he'll still come home to his wife. And even after several years of cheating, the man wil stil be with his wife till old age. Cheating sometimes doesnt mean absence of love, but just a selfish act of adventure by some.
I bet you don't know the meaning of that.

Those of you talking with your heads up in the clouds are just kids without experience. You talk based on what you ve read or seen on TV. I m sure the OP is terribly disappointed with the answers he got from his role model atheist. Pls you can disbelieve in the existence of the Christian God but don't tell me that diabolical powers or juju doesn't exist. I ve had countless experience in this life to know that such powers exist right from my secondary school with boys using touch and follow ring on girls till now that a pastor I m seeing for the first time in my life will look into my eyes and tell me my family history. What will you call a girl vomiting a snake and a fish in a crusade when it's happening in your presence? Science or magic? I v seen a man tell a group of people to settle him else rain will destroy their occasion and when they called his bluff, it rained hell that day in the peak of dry season, just in that village. What will you call this one, weather science and meteorology abi? What of an aunt that I know was as poor as poverty itself till she came across a pastor who told her she was bewitched, they had to embark on deliverance and some stuff were uprooted from her house. I was her chief mocker during this period. It wasn't up to a month after the so called deliverance this woman automatically became wealthy. Today she is a millionaire. What will you say happened there biko? Travel of the mind abi? I v seen a man with swollen legs and he was flown to India. They couldn't even cure him and they complained that all the drugs given to him were having adverse effect. The hospital then concluded it was a rare form of cancer and left the man to die. That same man was healed by a native doctor in my village and the man's brother who it was revealed did the charm is currently having a swollen leg. Pls explain this one, learned atheists.

And stop making the OP look like a fool. I have seen a boy get shot at close range with a pump action and it didn't penetrate. And pls save those your target and marksmanship story , this guy samples the shirt he wore that day and the bullet holes are visible.

Dear OP, powers exist. That is the plain truth and anyone who says otherwise is living in self denial. I ve seen so many things to know that these powers exist. I don't know why you want to become an atheist at all but if there are powers then there must be a superior one. From my experiences and not from mere reading and watching TV , I have fully accepted that God is highest but why He decided to let this other powers thrive is what I don't fully understand but maybe it is to show that He is stronger than all of them. Don't get deceived, powers exist, just a visit to a native doctor will show you.
You have been fooled for so long.
First, why doesn't those boys use their voice instead of a ring ?
Is it that anything you don't understand must be juju ?
Second, the so called crusades are magic shows designed to create fear
of unknown in your mouth.

This is highly worrisome. But lets take u as a case study, what prove is thr that u actualy exist now? Can u prove dat u are existing? As a human being? In 500 yrs frm nw, thr wil b literally no trace of ur xistenc archeologicaly, and in space, thr wil be no record of an event that proves ur existenc, and since al dos that knw u wil b long dead, applying d principl of relativity, E=MCsquare since ur mass is negligible to d mas of d universe and d distance u would hav traveld ur entire life would be negligible compared to d distance light travels in a year, *500yrs... Thrfore d univers records no record of any events 4 ur existence, so we may safely assume u never existed in relation 2 d universe.

Besides, I cant c u right now, how can u prove its nt an AR bot dat posted ds.
Of d entire colours in d light spectrum, d only range the human eye can decode, called visible light ranges 4rm Red to Violet... Others ar cald ultraviolet.
Wat of sound... Those we cant decode (beyond hearn range) are ultra sonic, super sonic... Etc.
Altho we knw thr ar animals wth better hearing, and can pick sounds of family packs, and mates miles away, also, thr are insects that can see infrared, invisible 2 d human eye. So, if d fact that i cant see somethn means its nt there, thn x-rays, radio waves, cosmic wave background, dark matter, dark energy, ... Micro organisms and pathogenic bacteria., etc...

Infact, nothing exists... Scientificaly speaking
Are you saying that god once existed and he is now dead ?

Since he didn't claim anything , he has nothing to prove.

Juju , just like God, is a contradiction in terms.

Juju is supposed to be the possession and display of supernatural powers.

Just like God, we have never in a stadium been serviced with a display of supernatural juju.
Everything about juju, just like God, is dem say, dem say.

If juju was real, the world's technological, military and economic superpowers would be a roll call of super juju Nations.

We had juju, but few oyinbo men sailed thousands of miles across the seas to steal our sons and daughters for hundreds of years ? huh

And they walked right back to take all our land, our resources, gave us medicine to heal out sick, showed us better ways to plant our crops, etc. Etc.

Nonsense.
Just like God, we invent the myth of juju to scare ourselves.
Nothing more.
What most people mistake as juju(at least the ones that works) are natural poisons and hypnotisers.
The "knowledge" are carefully guarded by the custodians such as they create a sense of awe in the
uninitiated minds.
There is nothing spiritual about them.

you can't remove subsidy and still fix price.
Take telecom for instance , when do you hear NCC fixing price per seconds ?
