Paentera: Now let me school you - it was Arabs that introduced Mathematics and not Islam. Obviously you are oblivious to the fact that Arabic and Islam are mutually exclusive and are not one and the same. There are also Arabic Christians if you must know and tribes like the Yazidi are not Muslims.

Know your FACTS and stop coming here to teach falsehood

Those people were't even Arabs, original Arabs are the primitive folks in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Levant, Persian and Turks (the who contributed to science ) are not Arabs

mu2sa2: I won't blame you in your ignorance. You know mathematics won't exist without the numerals -0, 1, 2, 3 ... 9. Who introduced the numerals? Equally, there won't have been algebra without the Holy Quran
It was Muslim scholar who invented algebra in the process of following God's instruction to humanity on the distribution of a deceased person' s estate contained in the Quran. Be educated by this.

Those cultures were already advanced before they converted to Islam, They were leaders in science for centuries before the invasion from primitive Arabs. The original Muslims in Saudi Arabia never contributed anything to sciences, they're still backward to this day.

She's an Iranian Jew. Iran isnt an arab country.

all4naija: Oh, yeah! Do you wanna go? Like been acting stubborn and tough! I have seen your types before and they are pieces of cake. If you want to talk about swag without any blemish you should probably be begging me to show you how to do that not this local flaunting. Jeez!

Look young lady, I am not moving to any other thread. That is the clear truth of the matter. I think you are trying to mess with my patience and trying to take advantage of me for being brotherly to you.

what a dunce..

marieolae: I'm talking on behalf of naija girls. WE ARE HOTTTT! I mean just take a look at me lool

I just liked your pic, very hot indeed.

Fulaman198: Which chicks don't look Nigerian?

Ebola is a hoax.

HandOfChukwu: Prove it....I don believe you..

Hmmm, Here are quotes from this article.



"The Turkcell case threatens to tarnish the reputation of both MTN -- a black-run company widely seen as a post-apartheid success story --.and the South African government, including former President Thabo Mbeki."

and

MTN's strong ties to the government are well documented: the company was set up with government help in 1994 as the first black- owned company after the end of apartheid.

Russia, acting tough, they need to be put in their place soon....

enough with the ebola, pls.

HandOfChukwu: Why are some of you people excited about a s1tty white owned company that isn't going to invest anything into the land of Nigeria making 2.5 billion off of us in 1 month?

I use Globabcom because they are Nigerian and they are also the better company, I also have a Innoson SUV because if you don't buy Nigerian products the economy will NEVER grow.

MTN is black owned.. do your research..

hmmm, not cool..

jihday: cricket and rugby is a sport most Nigerians hate (myself inclusive) so we hardly participate in it. Pls boast about football and athletics to us and we will tell you who is the father.

just ignore that gaynain fool , he's always hyping SA all over this forum. seeing how many Nigerian play in the nfl, there's no doubt that naija would easily dominate rugby.

AwodwaGyanOniwe: A Motswana of Botdwana who is based in SOUTH AFRICA beat Rudisha of Kenya and WON GOLD. His stable mate from SA won bronze.

While SA won another GOLD MEDAL with Cornel Fredericks

This ganian again, pls can you post your country Gayna's common wealth achievements. what a joke.

nnamdizen: Uche face!!! Even with all the wealth they and their husbands aquire, they still look like savages from somalia...

actually somalies are quite good looking, thats rather a complement.

There's alot of rivalry for the lost sheep market.

Yes, naijans get all the ladies

all4naija: It is not going down as you are alluding to in your statement. I say the truth as it is. Just air your views and I would be fine with that.

Dude, you're so boring, anyone looking at your post history will not take you seriously.
You need serious help.

I knew the thread was going down once all4naija showed up..

Another age-old convention that has subtly but seemingly innocuously under-privileged the southern hemisphere comes from the fact that the north is always put at the top. This was not always the case. In medieval Christian maps, east was located at the top because it was believed the world and the garden of Eden emanated from the east. Meanwhile in Islamic maps of around the same period, south was up.

The fact that our maps typically put north at the top is a mere convention. But like with Mercator's various technical manipulations, very minor decisions can have very major effects on how we see the world.

It would of course be silly to speculate on whether world history would have taken any different turns if our basic cartographic conventions had been different over the last half a millennium, but imagine for a moment that when we pictured the world we live in, we all thought of this:

kobonaire: yeah right .... google is 'wrong' and some geniuses on NL know better than Google inc that spend hundreds of million of dollars to develop an outstanding GIS application.
I give up ....

Did you read the article?

hmmmmmmm

more are coming, naija....

EMEKA1MILLION: Hahahahaha hahaha........ Big ups to the hustlers....
Chop them...
Finish dem



.....
We are the bad guys of the Internet world....
We make our presence felt anywhere we go.....
We are Africans...
We are Nigerians....
We go to their houses, kill their husbands, enslave their wife's, rape their daughters, Bury their sons alive Nd leave with their valuables....
Maybe this is our way of paying back to the westerners what they did to our fathers....
They squeeze us of our resources and give our fathers mirrors, worn clothes, oversized shoes, shaving sticks... Etc....
Now the table Has turned....
Its our time to prey on their ignorance....

UP naija .

the map on Google is wrong .

The distortion is the result of the Mercator map which was created in 1596 to help sailors navigate the world

It gives the right shapes of countries but at the cost of distorting sizes in favour of the wealthy lands to the north

For instance, north America looks larger, or at least as big, as Africa, and Greenland also looks of comparable size

In reality, you can fit north America into Africa and still have space for India, Argentina, Tunisia and some left over

Map suggests Scandinavian countries are larger than India, whereas in reality India is three times the size

The biggest challenge for cartographers is that it is impossible to portray reality of spherical world on a flat map

Take a look at a map today, and you’re likely to see that North America is larger than Africa, Alaska is larger than Mexico and China is smaller than Greenland.

But in reality China is four times bigger than Greenland, Africa is three times bigger than North America and Mexico is larger than Alaska.

The distortion is the result of the Mercator projection, the map most commonly seen hanging in classrooms and in text books, which was created in 1596 to help sailors navigate the world.

The Mercator projection, the map most commonly seen

1596 to help sailors navigate the world. The familiar map
gives the right shapes of land masses, but at the cost of
distorting their sizes in favour of the wealthy lands to the
north

You might think that the advent of satellite imagery and tools such as Google maps has improved our view of the world, but this isn’t necessarily the case, according to James Wan writing in the Guardian.

Much of this is due to technical reasons, said Mr Wan, while others inconsistences are caused by ideological assumptions that can change the way we see the world.

The biggest challenge is that it is impossible to portray the reality of the spherical world on a flat map – a problem that has haunted cartographers for centuries.

One of the best alternatives to the Mercator projection was
presented in 1974 by D. Arno Peters (pictured). The Gall-
Peters projection makes seeing the relative size of places
much easier. However it also has its flaws as certain places
appear stretched, horizontally near the poles and vertically
near the Equator

all4naija: Only the Nigerians in Hillbrow would waste their precious time to date and marry South African black women. Never in my right mind would I wake up and think South African ladies in bosoms-exposing culture are good for dates. Jeez!

Ezro knows very well that their men are lazy.They like to feast on pap and get drunk on Umqombothi! No swag in South Africa!

Was wondering where this guy was, i've never seen a SA thread where he hasn't commented on.

What kept you so long?
