Mr Buhari just do somethang....A man who finds excuse for hopes dashed is surely a cousin to failure.

Frustratingly, this crunch is one that Nigeria has been
through before—under the then youthful Mr Buhari.
Then, as now, he refused to let the market set the
value of the currency. Instead he shut out imports,
causing the legal import trade to fall by almost 50%
and killing much of Nigeria’s nascent industry in the
process. Between 1980 and 1990, carmaking fell by
almost 90%. Today, as in the 1980s, the president is
making a bad situation worse.

Very nice, best way to wait for admissions

i ve been tryin me hands on graphics too....even though my job always comes in d way

Try A Cg software like Blender or Softimage, theres this guy Kazuna on one the threads...you can follow him, hes quite good with these kinda stuff

Blakjewelry:
For me I totally welcome the idea, that is what I called creating a balance. Imagine a future were machine will be predominant, it is either we merge or we are outdated. @Jonnydon22 with your love for outer space how do you expect to get far from Earth with this fragile human system

i like this question...

spafu:
So you took me serious?

Nerdism is d cause....cant sleep.

bigval:
isn't it the same Musk that uses AI for his Tesla?

I wonder why he always dissea AI and yet employ it to his businesses.

Guy, leave this lady....dont joke with ur life....cry with her, Bleep her once more with extra padded condom and leave.

Only d tree stands firm when theres a threat.....u are not a tree, my frnd.

@Spafu...Having studied AI, We have seen first-hand the ethical issues we are having to deal
with today concerning how quickly machines can learn the personal features and behaviours of
people, as well as being able to identify them at
frightening speeds.

However, the idea of a 'conscious’ or actual intelligent system that could pose an existential threat to humans still seems very foreign to me, and does not seem to be
something we are even close to cracking from a
neurological and computational standpoint. What I
wanted to ask was, in your message aimed at
warning us about the threat of intelligent machines,
are you talking about current developments and
breakthroughs (in areas such as machine learning),
or are you trying to say we should be preparing
early for what will inevitably come in the distant
future?

bigval:
that's true cocolav, but consider how much is spent to develop weapons of mass destruction and compare it to how much is spent to improve agriculture or even sustain a healthy environment, noting that both also make use/need high level of technology

I dont think we should fear artificial intelligence....

My point in this conversation is that
the dangers from AI are overblown by media and Christian foundamentalists, and the real danger is the
same danger in any complex, less-than-fully-
understood code: edge case unpredictability.

In my opinion, this is different from ‘dangerous AI’ as most people perceive it, in that the software has no motives, no sentience and no evil morality, and is merely (ruthlessly) trying to optimise a function that we ourselves wrote and designed.

Your viewpoints (and Elon Musk’s) are often presented
by the media as a belief in ‘evil AI,’

The causative agents include Global warming and overpopulation....

Aridity encroaches, the nomads push deep into rural settlements....all fight for that finite resource, fertile land space..

The fulanis have always been militaristic and ever conquering, think Dan fodio......most of them are not even Nigerian fulas....our porous borders encourage the fulas from along the swathes of the niger to troop in.


Solution: Bubu and his cihorts should bother with that.

My solution: All community leaders should arm their farmers with kalashnikovs and teach their women how to use colt pistols.....Shoot at site any lanky figure in a drape hat at ur farm should be tbe mandate

thesicilian:
All I can see is one bright light in the midst of so many black faces!

are u suggesting we should all go for Caro White creams?...lol

unless if u r in saner places of nigeria like Enugu, Ibadan, Or certain districts in Abuja or Awka....if u commit manslaughter, dont hesitate to take to your heels....


you stopping will aggravate d crowds....you will be burnt alive.Nigerians are incrediby emotional and crude.

Hit someone on a highway and u are not in these aforementioned areas....RUN and never look back.

Theres always a priest to confess to.

We all speak as if we know how Nemesis works.....dont be surprise the bloke who did this could live up to 90 , middle classed, marry twice....

Evil persons survive more in this world...Karma targets d weak and good....thats where her bitchery resides.

besides chances are if he stopped, he'd be burnt alive by bystanders...

For the dead man, sincere apologies for ur loss, hope u reincarnate as a better, stronger being.....somehow youd be recycled...all isnot lost. Next time, try an overhead bridge, look left, look right and left again.....

i like Nasir El rufai...he does not care whose ox is gored while reforming...he believes in long term gains.

Hes treatise on religion is well intentioned....its high time religion becomes a personal thang, not state priority or above the state.....Secularism works best in a civilian government.

over 1.5 thingz...

5starmilitant:
If corrupt buhari that presented the worst budget in history can be people's messiah, what stops Saraki from being people's mentor?


All Nigeria politicians are thieves. No one can swear with a Bible or a Koran that he is not corrupt.

Stay there....they can swear voraciously with the bible or koran and still loot billions the next second

these people either dont believe in relgion or they believe that by donating handsomely to the church, building a magnificient mosque will somehow make God turn a blind eye to their larceny...

the ptoblem is with us, the deprived mass, esp the youths...we never call a spade a spade....everyone on this thread, including I, will sing a different tune if saraki as much as Give us a million naira weekend gift.

In Delta, James ibori stole like its goin outta fashion...yet everyone is anticipating with joy, his release from prison....i cry with frustration when some dektans claim he is d best governor that ever walked d earth

Nuella,u are Beautiful....never stop in the pursuit of happiness!

Twirl on them Haters.

Promantwo:
No matter how much you
wail, Buhari is Apc god, he's above mistake, he's the
best thing after jollof rice and the best president the
world has ever seen. You people have become so
blind to the new wave of progress and development
in the country. Since Buhari came into power, we
have been enjoying 92 hours of electricity everyday in my
area, fuel is now 45 naira per litre, prices of
goods have crashed by 50%, Boko Haram have been
technically defeated, the Chibok girls have been
found, unemployed graduates now collect 5000 naira
monthly, school children now take fried rice and chicken in
school and investors are now trooping in everyday, what
else do you people want?

i wonder why peeps are still wailing, just this weekend i ve got light unquenched.....and i swear my generator grumbled when i passed it...it was like..oga why u no start me this weekend na!

NdiliMfumu:
Firstly, the sto as barbaric as those few blood-curdling knuckleheads who come on this thread just to announce how they, too, would have stood by casting stones at Akinnifesi, beating him and bludgeoning him to death.

Further, what of the complaints, here, that the man died ONE MONTH LATER in hospital in Ondo State? The pictures of his arrival at hospital indicate that he was severely beaten about the head, but was alive and kicking, then. What did he ultimately die of? SEPSIS? Kidney failure? Malnutrition? The state of medical practice in public hospitals throughout Ondo State is simply atrocious. Isn't the State at fault, too, for having murdered this man? What kind of medical care did he receive? What incompetent doctors and nurses allowed this man to die ultimately of flesh wounds to his scalp, one month later?

Finally, what of the deep-seated homophobia of the average Nigerian? Virtually everyone on this thread wishes to see LGBT people punished as and for being LGBT. Well, dudes ....... I've got news for you !

ALL human sexual orientation and gender identity -- be it straight, gay, bi or tran -- is INHERITED, the product of one's genes and one's development in the womb, fixed at birth, immutable thereafter, and quite beyond the choice of the individual. NO ONE DECIDES TO BE STRAIGHT. But those who are straight simply discover their interest in the opposite sex as they mature into their teenage years, some even before then. No one has to be "convinced" to love the opposite sex, who naturally does so. No one is "seduced" into loving the opposite sex, nor taught to have such feelings. All of this comes quite naturally to the heterosexuals amongst us.

What quite many people don't understand, or don't wish to understand, is that the very same processes which cause the majority of people to be heterosexual from birth ALSO cause a minority to be homosexual or bisexual, and a tiny minority to be transsexual. Certainly, the Churches and Mosques don't wish to understand this, because it runs contrary to their self-serving interest in seeing their flocks grow (LGBT people have far fewer children than promiscuous heterosexuals!).
!!

Further, the epistles of St. Paul speak only against PROMISCUITY, PROSTITUTION and LEADING A MORALLY DISSOLUTE LIFE, but not at all against the LOVE and MARRIAGES which were well-known in Paul's time in Rome and Greece amongst men and amongst women. Same-sex marriage was officially recognized in Rome for over 700 years, before finally being outlawed under the Christian Emperor Constantine in the latter half of the 4th century CE. Jesus, in particular, although he well could have said something on the subject, said precisely nothing about it.

And where the Qur'An speaks on this, it speaks only to the "sins of Lot", meaning, particularly, the inhospitality of the people of Sodom. The Qur'An never mentions the subject of homosexuality. How could it? The concept simply didn't exist at the time of the Prophet when no one stopped to parse other people's sexual conduct as being straight or gay.

Indeed, the concern with other people's sexuality was injected into Nigeria by the British after 1913. Prior to that time, Kano, in particular, had had a flourishing gay subculture for hundreds of years. It is not homosexuality BUT HOMOPHOBIA which was foisted on Nigeria and Nigerians by the British!

Brothers and sisters, put aside your fears! No one can change your sexuality or seduce your children into being someone other than what they naturally are. But only 55% of men are straight, 35% are bisexual and 8% are gay from birth; and 85% of women are straight, 10% are bisexual and 2.5% are lesbian from birth. This means that some 20% of Nigerians are LGBT from birth, some 34 MILLION NIGERIANS !!

Isn't it high time that we stop oppressing our brothers and sisters and start loving and caring for one another !!??

A vert illuminating piece you composed there!
Isnt it rather surprisisng that Jesua Christ never condemned Gays and yet supposed Christians are at the forefront of Homophobia?

So much for love thy neighbor is you love urself....I wish id not see this thread...A sad weekend.

Akinmfesi, you are gay.....thats ur orientation. You were human first and foremost.

here you are attacked and killed by devils.

The Good Jesus will give you a hand. l dont know of ur sins or whatever but i am sure Christ will embrace you wholeheartedly.

Rest in peace.

May all those who indulged in ur murder find death in gory ways this year.

Anambra take one ahead....

[size=13pt] who knows may be the guy went to play "aja nsare owo njona" and lost hence the need for suicide. anyways


RIP[/size]

if its nt an arranged murder then its a film prop, a hanged person does not have his feet on d ground.

if its a film act, d director needs to go back to school...

mile12crises:
Heaven knows I hate and despise that lanky dullard from Daura.

The Gambari mallam have ended up hardening the heart of those that were hitherto indifferent on the biafran struggle.

i tells you, i am a typical example of somene very much ndifferent untill this year...

[quote author=AsanwaKC post=43671896][/quote]Peotry...Amen, Dear money heed this prayer, clothe us in dollars since its rising, pounds is very okay too.

Naija9090:
Go and tell her she not Igbo, and see how she will slap that divisive yoruba in you. I heard one the other day say Okonjo Iweala is not Igbo...she is from SS. LOL!

Ikwerre is Igbo...same language. I understand Ikwerre Igbo than Ebonyi Igbo. Get it!

Yeah, come to think of it...i, too, undertand ikwerre igbo morethan Ebonyi igbo, i wonder why is that?

No doubt, the version of Ebonyi igbo is more fluid and almost like music.

kettykin:
The problem in this case does not seem to be igbos but the other tribes who despite this ugly trait of igbos will go ahead to spill the last drop of their inferior hypocritical blood in order to make sure igbos are in the same country with them.

My take is that if someone is accused of being a money worshipper by someone who feels he is not then both parties are at liberty to get away from each other.


Any thing besides this is at best a cover up for hypocrisy and false patriotism. The same Nigerians accused Ghanaians of wrecking their country and organized a Ghana must go campaign. Today it is the igbos you accuse of doing all to make money that is organizing their igbos must leave Nigeria campaign, then I tell you the problem is with you.

Thank you my friend....Nigera let my people GO.....how is it so hard for the Nigeria peoples to understand.

You dont sleep int the same bed with a Mad dirty man, you try whatever to make him leave ur house....


And whenever u have a thread with the noun Igbo, lots of people are sign on, including invisible guests....majority are part of that section in Nigeria where the soup is loose and floating in lipids.....yeah id just paint a stereotype, stick it on me!

xxxangel:
Any place you do not find an igbo man please .... .... RUN.!!!!! !

yes oo, cos that place devoid of an Igbo is likely any of these places....

Mars.
Somalia,
Kurdistan
Aghanistan
Northern Mali
On a probe to pluto,
Antartica

blackpanda:
Abeggi, everybody knows Igbos are slaves to money. Yes, there are a few exceptions but generally a typical igbo man will do anything, absolutely anything and everything, to acquire wealth!

including your wealth....Minion.

GuyfawkesAB:
yes, those problems are in existence. have you found a solution to it yet??

You are quick to point to a fellow brother's town of origin or dialect when it comes to sharing allocation, position or political representation. The same issues most other African tribes have to grapple with. That's why most African countries are still in political quagmires and it will persist even if other new countries emerge out of these ones. That's why we are backward and war persists amidst us

There will always be exceptions, and ur assertion that Africans are perpetually tribalistic is a tard racist ( yeah an african can be racist, dont mind this part n ur next retort, lol)

Identifying with ur place of origin exists in every human situation, why do u think Blacks in Chicago will think that those from Southern America are backwards...And Americans in New jersey gets this impression that other parts of America are cultural illiterates because theirs have a richer complex (think the implications of Beyonces Formation video)

Man will always point to his homestead, but groups of men will always long for their country.

we will quickly condemn gurls that bleach and look brighter but in real terms when a fair gal walks past, guys drool over her...

Its a simple biological fact, mammals, insects and fish are attracted to brghtly colored materials....in the case of man....A skin with less melanin or is it melatonin.

try dangling two balls of the same size before a monkey...one red and the other a dull grey or black and see the one he responds quickly to.

Gurls and steadly some guys understands these dynamics and thats why they are bleaching their skins off all melanin and of course squeezing dry their kidneys....i guess the benefits far outweighs the risk.

Carol white is the best ever....

GuyfawkesAB:
All your references are without the consideration that most of these peoples and countries have little differences and are not as tribalistic as we get in Africa. An average African is so protective of his origins and this reflects in everything he does, especially politically. The agitations that would arise in a Biafra between an Nnewi, Awka, Orlu etc man for allocation, representation etc cannot be place on the dame pedestal as what obtains in those countries you mentioned.

If Civil war breaks out in Biafra, who will bear the brunt of the humanitarian crises that will escalate? You will all start pouring across the borders back to Nigeria again abi?

and what makes u think nigeria will readily accept the refugees back,?

And the problems u mentioned above is never in existence as we are now, huh?

like i said, a civil war breaking out in Biafra will entirely be the responsibilty of biafra.....in social terms, civil disturbance might be a chance to learn and reform better, and it not as if we are all certain that a civil war will indeed breakout in Biafra..

Most think growing heavy lice prone beards qualifies them as prophets....


but he is right, our brand of chrstianity is totally crass.

odeotito:
Your conclusion would seem out of place in our contemporary world. Enlightened world citizens might find the temptation irresistible to dub same "bizarre"! The world is increasingly becoming a global village where the definition of as a concept would be understood differently from ho sovereignty w it was previously perceived!

The world is turning a global village but not at enough xponential to stop groups of persons with homogenous interests from trying to break away....why would if i may ask, regions like Quebec and Barcelona ( one n an advanced economy, the other n a relatively sophisticated state) still want to secede?
