Siggynigeria:His church wedding part is what I don’t understand ooo. The Child possibly never had a good foundation for his faith before traveling. |
kingxsamz:Yes. Conversely ( going by your logic), Show us a proof that the corner you live in as an atheist is a paradise. At least every atheist in Nigeria should have developed a morally and economically perfect society in their house, their neighborhood and their places of work. Show us a proof of an eldorado you created in your area. If we don’t have that, then your point is invalid. When the guy is independent of the parents, he can choose whatever he likes. |
shuttox:Something they just gave to people from their side. Check out the beneficiaries and their locations in the report. |
Silentmoni:No be Nigerian politicians again? Lol |
benjackugo:So the governor gave one to his sister from his place. The deputy gave one to his sister from his place. And then a lucky third got one. Okay ooo. |
raymondhillmimi:All commercial banks do it. It’s mandatory and statutory. |
Larrykaysail:Arm-chair banking at their own expense actually. If anything goes wrong, it backfires. Most just pray nothing goes wrong since they didn’t visit to confirm the address. But some go after a while to actually check the place out. |
DoggoneDogg:Lol! If you bring in “bad” money into the system and are caught, it’s a big problem. If you don’t bring enough, it’s a problem. So you just keep praying that you don’t get into trouble on a daily basis. And you constantly need to understand what your customers are doing most of the time. If CBN sanctions your office because of an infraction caused by you, Na big wahala ooo. If the law enforcement agencies come for any account, one of the first things checked after ID card is that address verification. They will just say” take us to the address and produce the guy”. This is aside from loan defaults etc. |
DamianX:Normal. KYC and KYCB-know your customer and know your customer’s business. The person asking the questions is actually helping your friend at his or her own expense. They are supposed to block the account and take out time to assign a paid agent to visit that address ( address verification) , confirm it before allowing your friend to operate the account. If the address doesn’t tally with what he filled and the utility bill he submitted, he won’t operate the account. If they visit the address, they will even ask your neighbors discreetly about you. If anyone says they don’t know you( maybe you just got there or you are using squatting or you are not well known, na problem be that ooo. Account is blocked. However in a bid to assist your friend sharp sharp, they asked those questions. Implications: they could get into trouble if they didn’t visit but just asked questions and got wrong descriptions. They could also actually check out the address and confirm it later. If your friend is wanted for any financial infractions tomorrow ( e.g EFCC etc), they would need that report. So be happy that they simply asked those questions and allowed your friend to operate the account. |
Mercychen:Good one! But your recipe isn’t much of a secret in the North: debino + kwakwa + tiger nut gives you kunu aya. |
nwikpab:There are still virgins around. Only a few couple come openly to share their experiences. They only talk among their trusted and respected friendship circles. My wife and I went through same process. It’s normal. Just a matter of time and patience. |
Me23:Just calm down. The pains will go after a while. With time she will be in sync with you. I don’t think anything is wrong with her. She needs to be in a good mood for you both to enjoy it. Pls don’t force her unless you want to get frustrated. |
chatinent:Did you see how they hailed that smart guy in the “3 Idiots”? Na so I hail you. You good jare. Well done |
Workch:E shock you abi? Joke was on you. I said “literate”. Oh poor boy! Cry me a river. Come back here next time to boast about your science profile and see me tear you to shreds. |
Workch:You wanted to type literate right? Lol I don’t like bragging. I hate that you had bragged from day one. Not good enough. I didn’t stop at the Sec school. I was also taught materials science, strength, thermo, analysis, structures, fluid. Maybe you had thought I was a pastor. Just focus on issues at discuss when we talk okay. Drop your science profiles by the side. |
Workch:Kingsamx is reasonable and does better Job than you despite our varying worldviews. You? I just use you to catch cruise. Silly little boy. The butterfly thinks himself a bird~(The Gods are not to blame) |
Workch:When I was reading Holderness and Lambert, Nelkon, Okeke and Anyakoha, Ababio, Stones, you were probably still running around naked. Shut up and stop all the emotional tantrums foolish boy. |
Workch:I am disappointed in you. I gave you a quote from a respected intellectual who happens to share same worldview with you. In your characteristic self, you assumed a pastor wrote it. Lol Abeg go and rest. That quote summarizes your struggle. I will allow you secretly check it out in the next few days, read it, regurgitate it , assimilate it, internalize it and then respond from a point of knowledge. See you next time. |
kingxsamz:First of all you deviated from the issue we had discussed: science solving ALL of man’s problem and fixing EVERYTHING. That’s scientism. It’s not true. It self destructed itself by kicking even the science it tries to defend. Many philosophers including some atheists jettisoned it many years ago. I know you don’t know. Secondly, God is sovereign and handed critical and creative abilities to humans made in his image ( See Genesis 1). Humans have the capacity to fix anomalies that come up in nature because of the inherent abilities God placed in them. Remember there are many Christian surgeons working in hospitals. So surgery isn’t an exclusive preserve of godless people. And medical science does not transform people to godlessness. The disciples asked Jesus about the blind Bartimeaus whether the parents sinned or the guy did. Jesus said none. Rather there was a purpose for the perceived misfortune. If your emotional objections to God are based on sufferings in the universe, that’s fine. If you develop a relationship with God, you could start asking for guidance to understand things from his point of view and not yours. The earth is his and the fullness thereof. Last time we checked, it was still his and not yours. |
Workch:Did I abuse you? Maybe I needed to remind you one of those motion ( Newtonian laws) that talks about action and reaction being equal and opposite. I present back to you what you push to me. That shouldn’t bother you. That said, I was thinking you would be smart enough to read the quote and mirror your position in there. It’s a shame you don’t understand it. That about summarizes you and your position. Cheers |
Workch:Chai! This boy is very foolish. I have told you severally that this quote is not from a Christian. Who do you this strong thing? “Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. [Billions and Billions of Demons - JANUARY 9, 1997 ISSUE] Richard C. Lewontin |

Workch:Let’s try again. I already gave you tips on reading and comprehension. So bite again and see if you would do better. Ready ...go....

Workch:Go back to basic comprehension and learn to read to understand before responding. You have been lying or maybe willful strawmanning. Which is it? |
Workch:You also add lies to your delusions? I haven’t even made any scientific claims. And you are already lying against me just like you have been lying against science by claiming it said something when you were the one actually speaking and wishing science could just say something. Science will not because it is incapacitated to investigate the divine. Hahahaha |
Workch:Hahaha! You didn’t understand the quote. Let me help you a bit. It’s a skeptic that made that quote. Lol. It wasn’t a Christian. So you can calm down and read it and respond like a good boy. Okay |
Workch:Even if a miracle happens to you today, rather than acknowledge it, you would say “ I think my mind tricks me”. Book of Romans 1 covers you precisely. |
Workch:Block head. Too heavy for you to download. Run along |
kingxsamz:My God made the humans and asked humans to dominate the earth. That’s the Genesis of science. Man created in the image of God can utilize the God-given abilities to dominate the earth. |
Workch:By the time I bring in the Bible, I will finish you all with your warped reasoning. For now we have a stand-off on fraudulent claims of people like you who lie and say what science has not said. Secondly, you have been struggling with supernatural phenomena ( your obsession with the snake and the Red Sea miracles). This simply bothers on materialism and supernatural claims. As long as you think all phenomena in reality can be reduced to the 5 senses, you are okay. But we know that reality goes beyond what the empirical data can pick up. So many phenomena fall outside empiricism and thus quash your idea and worldview. Of course if you shift from materialism, your stronghold is shattered. So you doggedly stand there against reason and logic. That’s the summary of your problem. Any day you agree there are super-natural phenomena beyond our empirical analysis, then you start asking questions how miracles happen. I say nature is not all there is to existence. You say nature is all there is to existence. If you block off your mind on super-nature, how will you investigate it? So you simply drew conclusions even before the evidences come in. That’s your problem. Unfortunately I can’t help you. |
