Let CHRISTIANS ECHo to their people nation wide that.all CHRISTIANS should avoid buying FULANI'S cow we can not continue to give strength to these fulani people by buying their cow to kill our own people. If we lose at all it shouldn't be in 2 places i.e lose our money and lives of our Christian brothers and sisters.Its just like a father paying armed robbers to kill his own son which only signifies MADNESS. LET ALL CHRISTIANS STOP BUYING COW FROM THE FULANI PEOPLE IT MAY NOT STOP THE KILLINGS BUT WILL DEFINITELY REDUCE THEIR STRENGTH TO KILL

Ok

He can only do that with python snake not cobra type of snake, your guess is as good as mine of what will happen if he mistakenly does that with a poisonous snake.

ArabMopol:
so if we boycott Fulani cows they will stop the senseless killing, some people are just reasoning with their butt, Buhari is a mad lazy old clumsy stupid incompetent bastardized clueless unreasonable cow TUFIAKWA

It does not matter whether they continue in their inhumane killings but it will help the Christians all over Nigeria to let the victims know that their Christian brothers and sistrs are with them. At least Christians will not be losing in two places I.e their MONEY and the LIVES of their fellow Christians. I believe this is a very good course that every CHRISTIAN should ECHo to their people nation wide.Let all CHRISTIANS avoid buying FULANI'S cow we can not continue to give strength to these fulani people by buying their cow to kill our own people. If we lose at all it shouldn't be in 2 places i.e lose our money and lives of our Christian brothers and sisters.Its just like a father paying armed robbers to kill his own son which only signifies MADNESS.

Chris Oyakhilome says Masturbation is not a sin.

Jesus says immorality is sin.

Masturbation is immoral.

Who would you go with.

Chris or Christ?

Is missionary or doggy style of intercourse immoral ? And therefore a sin? And what did Jesus or Bible say about this? Just asking.

Is PDP not part of this national Assembly we talking about? Is only the truth that can guide this nation right not just party. Let the citizens march out and fight out for the truth ( their rights ) and not tribe or party.

And some Nigeria military generals had the audacity to embezzle money meant to procure weapon during Jonathan's regime.

Which region in d country will they site the project?

funny company!

Charlesdock:
You should rather blame the person. Were they the one that instructed the man to kill? No so blame the killer and not those that he/she share beliefs with.

If that man brings 10 dead people back to life in the name of prophet muhammed I believe you won't be saying the same thing u said above about blaming the person and not Islam.when you discover that there is a problem my bro you already procured 50% solution to that problem but when u don't even know there is problem where there actually one, that could spell sudden total destruction. The other religions have their own problem though and they accept this fact.

All that happened in 1903? and this is 2016 I bet you both our professors and students in aeronautical engineering can not build this same model the wright brothers built over 100 year ago. This is evident in the recent purchase of 2 seater trainer aircraft by our government from Pakistan. Those two old inventors add no degree or college certificate when they invented that flying bird!!!

This looks like baby Biafra plane used during Nigeria civil war. It was built and assembled by the foreigners who fought along side for Biafra.Nigeria needs to restructure its education system if in 2016 Nigeria's aeronautic engineers can not build a simple designed manned 2seat light aircraft of this type. Seriously somebody needs to tell me that they did not import that plane. Its a big shame on Nigeria and its education system!!! Big shame I repeat!!!!!

Yeah!!! He is the real professor.

Good news!!

Didn't you see the post above about the man that ate a plane and another that swallowed 50 knives.
Nigerians get sense please.
Witches don't exist, this is why that little boy was left wandering in the streets close to dying because they accused him of being a witch.
A white woman saved him and asked for donations online. I was so ashamed at the stupidity of my people. That was one of the times I strongly wished i wasn't nigerian.
But no worries as long as there are free thinkers like me around, this country isn't totally doomed.

Bro how many knife can you swallow ? Oh, knife is even too big what about blade? The fact that those people did what was directly impossible means they operated or demonstrated that act using an intelligence ( supernatural ) that is beyond flesh except God reveals or gives you such powers too like he gave Samson in the Bible. OR you simply receive the intelligence ( supernatural ) they have ....YOU CAN NEVER DO WHAT THEY DID

edbor:
Man a two engine plane can take off even if one explodes on the runway, controlling the plane in air is no big deal, even a plane with no functioning engine can glide provided it has high altitude that's probably where your controlling aerodynamics with one engine comes in to play.



only that an engine isn't needed to glide.

Hello, I believe the main reason why the pilot had to land the plane has to do with control. It is very difficult to pilot a twin e!ngine plane with one functional engine. Infact such plane becomes aerodynamically unstable staying on course of journey.

CRAP!

In the annals of regret, nobody holds a candle to Alfred Nobel, and not just because any flame near him would've ignited a huge freaking explosion. Nobel's regret is celebrated annually like Christmas, and bestowed upon worthy recipients like a laurel wreath.

In 1888, after a couple of decades of armies using dynamite in various ways to blow people into chunks, Alfred's older brother Ludvig died of a heart attack. A French newspaper, having received a jumbled report, printed an obituary of Alfred instead, and not one of those nice, cheerful obituaries.

It featured the headline "The Merchant of Death is Dead," and wrote that "his fortune was amassed finding new ways to mutilate and kill." So distraught by this evidence of how he would be remembered, and probably noticing the lack of the glow that his predicted "golden peace" would have given off, Alfred Nobel bequeathed 94 percent of his fortune to establish the prizes that bear his name, honoring those who "have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind."

Holy shit, newspapers should write nasty premature obituaries more often. It seems to really make people think.

Dynamite, as were all of Nobel's explosive inventions, was meant for industrial purposes such as rock blasting and mine excavation. While he certainly wasn't naïve enough not to be able to imagine their dismembering potential, he believed that it was precisely this capability that might prohibit their violent use. "My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions," he wrote. "As soon as men will find that in one instant whole armies can be utterly destroyed, they surely will abide by golden peace."

Sure, we can totally see that.

Alfred Nobel (1833-1896)

Invented:

Dynamite, for mining purposes.

Lived to See:

It used to blow the shit out of many people.



Alfred Nobel came from a family that liked to blow stuff up real good. His father, who had declared bankruptcy the same year Alfred was born, eventually rebuilt his wealth in the early 1850s selling explosive mines to the Russian military (still a great way to raise a few extra bucks, by the way). When the Crimean War ended and the Russian bomb cash stopped coming in, Alfred and his brothers began experimenting with ways to safely manufacture, transport and use the recently discovered explosive nitroglycerin.

"Safely" was the main issue. In 1864, the Nobel family's factory exploded, killing five employees and Alfred's youngest brother. It was this and numerous other deadly accidents that led to Nobel's invention of dynamite, a less dangerous, more easily transported form of nitroglycerin, in 1866.

CRAP!

Considering how incredibly freeing the brassiere she created was in comparison with the corset, Jacob must have been shocked that, by the time of her death in 1970, it was seen by feminists as a symbol of oppression, with a burning bra the classic image of women's liberation protests (and it was just an image, the actual burning of the bras never happened).


1968 Miss America Pageant protest. Shown: bra. Not shown: burning.

Even without the actual flames, the bra itself was socially charged, with the choice of whether to wear one being one of the simplest and most visible ways (well, depending on the temperature) that a woman could display her political views.

Knowing Mary Phelps Jacob (who lived one of the most interesting lives ever) been born 60 years later, there is no doubt that she would have gone braless. Hell, she most likely considered it back in 1910, except that it was probably a capital offense at that point.

Robert Propst (1921-2000)

EUREKA!!!!

While virtually unknown to the general public, designer Robert Propst's ideas have shaped our world, especially our offices. While working for a furniture company in the 1960s, Propst studied the workplace, finding it "tailored around equipment, rather than around the people that use the equipment," and concluding, "today's office is a wasteland. It saps vitality, blocks talent, frustrates accomplishment. It is the daily scene of unfulfilled intentions and failed effort."

Yeah, we know; we can't imagine what that must have been like.

CRAP!

Displaying oodles of pluck and daring that's even more exciting once we realize she was probably topless at this point, Jacob refused to wear the corset, demanded that her chaperon bring her two handkerchiefs, a needle and some thread, and stitched together what she would call the "backless brassiere." Her friends gathered around her, inquiring excitedly about the new accessory, and soon all the ladies were back in the dressing room, giggling, tearing off their corsets and... oh, wait, that was actually a scene from Naughty Debutantes on Cinemax. Sorry.

In 1914, after years of selling the garments to her circle of friends, Jacob applied for and received the first-ever patent in the newly created category of "brassieres." The way women's boobs dressed changed forever.

Mary Phelps Jacob (1892-1970)Invented:

The bra.

Lived to See:

"Bra-burning" feminists calling it a symbol of oppression.

EUREKA!

In 1910, Mary Phelps Jacob was struggling with her outfit, specifically with the whalebone corset that was showing through her sheer evening gown and out over the neckline. Picture a life jacket under a one-piece bathing suit and you can see just how not hot this must have been.

In 1961, FCC Chairman Newton Minow made his famous speech to the National Association of Broadcasters, describing the horrors of television as a "vast wasteland." And this was decades before Flavor of Love.

Meanwhile, Philo T. Farnsworth observed all of this with an increasingly regretful eye. His son, Kent, described his father feeling that "he had created kind of a monster, a way for people to waste a lot of their lives," and summarized his attitude as "There's nothing worthwhile on it, and we're not going to watch it in this household, and I don't want it in your... intellectual diet." Had he lived, it's safe to say that Philo Farnsworth would have had the world's worst set of TiVo Suggestions.

He did soften a bit in his final years, saying that televised images of the moon landing "made it all worthwhile," but an accidental viewing ofHee Haw the next day led him to regret this brief moment of fulfillment.

A few years later, while wooing his future wife, Philo spoke to her about his dreams: "He talked a lot about what television would do," Elma Farnsworth remembered. "He saw that television would allow people to learn about each other. He felt that if you could learn how other people live, world problems would be settled around the conference table instead of bloody battlefields. He thought that everyone in the world could be educated through television, and that it could also be used for entertainment and sporting and news events."

CRAP!

And he was completely right! Well, except for the part about learning not to hate people who are different. He was pretty far off there. As for educating the masses, we can give him the benefit of the doubt if we use the widest possible definition of "educating."

But pretty much from the get-go, any idea of television being an enriching benefit to the human race were cast aside in favor of quiz shows, adorable chimps and dancing cigarette packs with great gams.

Philo T. Farnsworth (1906-1971)



Invented:

The modern television.

Lived to See:

Gilligan's Island.

EUREKA!

Already born with a ridiculous name, Philo T. Farnsworth's life story doesn't make for the happiest of reading. It's a litany of financial troubles, corporate espionage, legal battles, bad timing, heavy drinking and nervous breakdowns. But the man was a genius; he was born in a log cabin and theorized the basic principles of electronic television while cultivating a potato field at the age of 14. Yep, that's right, 14-years-old, an age when most of us couldn't theorize the basic location of our ass using both hands.

We can't confirm that the then 70-year-old Goldmark attended any of these parties, but you can only imagine how he would have reacted to the record scratch, the "most horrible sound man ever invented," being turned into a sound effect by guys in gold chains asking a basement full of dudes if they were ready to get the party started.

CRAP!
We could point to the scourge of progressive rock, the only genre developed so DJs had time to leave the studio and get stoned. Yes's "Revealing Science of God," Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and too many other tracks that last more than 15 minutes, thanks to pointless droning and endless solos, inspiring countless slurred, "No, no, you gotta hear this part coming right up!"

But the greatest indignity to Goldmark's "play lots of Brahm's uninterrupted" invention was occurring in the South Bronx, in the final years of his life. There turntable techniques like cutting and scratching were developed by a number of 70s New York DJs, notably DJ Kool Herc, Grand Wizard Theodore and Grandmaster Flash.

Now, if you're anything like us, your first thought is, "Holy freaking crap, that sounds like the worst party in the history of the world. If we were there our only great idea would have been to rifle through the medicine cabinet in search of high-level painkillers." And that's why we're not in the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Peter Carl Goldmark went on to create the LP (long-playing records).

You can't underestimate how it changed the way music itself was created. No longer limited to disjointed bundles of 78s, artists could create unified artistic statements, without listeners jumping up every five minutes to change discs. The Beatles wouldn't have become THE BEATLES without the format to create Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. So what could go wrong?
