RoxyBrownAutos:
The spirit of Biafra came into being in 1967 since then the spirit of Biafra lives on. Col.Odumegwu Ojukwu then governor general of east central states of Nigeria comprising, Anambra,Rivers and cross river state declared the Republic of Biafra. Ojukwu departed, Chief Uwazuruike came on board. Chief Uwazuruike dropped the agitation, Mazi Nnamdi Kalu came in a fierce manner gaining more attention than the past agitators. Nnamdi Kalu arrest and detention didn't stop Biafra as Ekpo surfaced. If the news making round the corners means that Ekpo is arrested and detained, another fierce and more deadly leader of Biafra will arise because Biafra as a spirit it does not die until the mission is fulfilled.
I would have agreed with you many years, before the Emergence of MASSOB, Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, and all the other psychopaths following them.

The word Biafra is to me and millions of Igbos, a name that connotes terror and the darkest psyche of the Igbo people.

I can no longer mention or think of Biafra without feeling a sense of terror and shame and odium .

I'm proudly Igbo , but
even if Biafra was possible today or in the future , Uwazurike, Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa and their armies of sociopathic killers have clearly highlighted to me and all Igbos, what would come in the contemplated eventuality of the nation of Biafra.

I would rather live in Abeokuta than such a place.
PoliticsRe: Reuben Abati's Phd Is Wasted Education by plaetton: 10:45pm On Nov 22, 2024
FSU:
Copied

Reuben Abati's PhD is wasted education.

Why?
The current senate president had praised the Igbo during the events related to the burial of an Igbo senator who died recently. He said among other things, that Igbos go out to develop other parts of Nigeria and that other Nigerians do not do quite the same. That the said late senator was a true representation of the Igbo spirit.

Then, Abati was asked to respond to the senate president's comments on his TV program. Abati, after other kinder words about the Igbo, retorted that, according to TOS Bension (A Yoruba political leader who was born in 1917 and died in 2008) that Igbos don't sell land to strangers. That TOS had wanted to buy land and build a house in his Igbo wife's village and that the villagers had told him (TOS) they don't sell land to strangers. Abati went on to affirm his own opinion along the lines that Igbos go out and buy properties and build elsewhere, but do not sell land to others.

Now, Abati claims to hold a PhD. To obtain a PhD anywhere in the world, including in the local university from where Abati obtained his, requires conducting research for at least 3 years. In Nigeria, it takes longer. In most cases, such research involves conducting statistical analysis using sample populations and establishing margins of errors based on the sampling population size. Abati regurgitated the unproven claim made by TOS about his wife's village (one village) and extrapolated that to cover more than 30 million Igbos living in thousands of villages and towns and cities. The inability of Abati to conduct his own research and to gather data from a representative sampling of Igbos on the matter makes his PhD null and void. That he even believed what TOS Benson said in the 1960s or 70s or 80s, or 90s (whenever he had said it), and repeated it in 2024 makes his case even worse and deserved that his alma mater asks for their certificate back.

Assuming one Igbo village does not sell their land to strangers, how is that an Igbo-wide culture that should be linked to other Igbos?

Pray tell, the Redeemed Church, Deeper Life church, Living Faith church, and numerous other churches own properties across nearly all Igbo villages, towns and cities in Nigeria. These churches are private churches owned by Yoruba individuals. The church lands were sold to the Yoruba owners by Igbos.

GTB, Wema Bank, FCMB and a few other banks in Nigeria are 100% owned and managed by Yorubas. These banks have branches in Igbo towns and cities. The lands were sold to them by Igbos.

Polo Mall Enugu and the Onitsha Business School are owned by Yorubas

GLO Mobile is owned by a Yoruba. GLO has offices in Igbo cities. The lands where these offices are located were sold to GLO by Igbos.

There are 1000s of Yoruba who own private properties in Igboland. I personally know one in Umuahia.

I can go on and on. How come Abati does not know this? How come Abati cannot conduct simple research before bleating out on National TV in 2024 that Igbos don't sell land to strangers?

Abati is not only ill-educated, but he is also a bigot, because only a bigot can take an incidence by one person and extrapolate it to all persons related to that offender. Worse still an uncorroborated incidence that was said to have happened decades ago.
Well said.

I think you have oil on your head.

The Finnish authorities knows exactly what they can pin on him,....something they can present evidence, not what a section of Nigerians thinks or what the Nigerian govt wants, and this might be distributing messages in support of a group murdering people. With this, it can fly.

The moment you mention terrorism, you the accusser is duty bound to mention the Terrorist group, and as the name they are trying to foist menbership on him is not recognized as such in EU member states, at least in UK...you just disgrace your self.. He will simply wriggle himself out!
That is why till date NIgrian Deep Stae have not found an appropriate Law to fairly convict MNK even though they have him in custody since when sef?

Now let me shock you a bit...Ekpa, if truly he is the one sending those committing havoc in South East, the Finnish short engine can argue that, he and his group targets combatants (Nigeria army) after exploring non violent means of registering ther griviances. With same Social media they use in getting evidence to nail him, he will also crop evidence from social media to prove his case.

I laugh.
First of all , I'm not the one who suggested that they arrest and charge him with terrorism related offenses. From what I read on the news, the Finnish authorities did that on their own without my input.
I can bet that they took their time and thoroughly did their homework before deciding to arrest and charged him.
Prosecutors usually make sure they have enough evidence to seek a conviction before arresting someone on terrorism related charges.
In fact, the conviction rate for terrorism related offenses across all EU states are very very high.
Even if after years of litigation,he wiggles out, it would still take its toll on his life. Life would not be the same for him again.
That should be sufficient.
PoliticsRe: All You Need To Know About Simon Ekpa & His Ordeal In Finland! by plaetton: 5:44pm On Nov 22, 2024
We should not ever expect Finland to extradite Simon Ekpa to Nigeria. That will never happen.

But the mere fact that he has been arrested, detained and charged with organizing terrorism in another country is sufficient to not only to dislodge and disorganize his comfortable life in Finland, but might see him convicted and ending up in prison, even if just for 1 year. A conviction on terrorism related charges would make him a persona non grata in all EU countries.

That is sufficient.

This is not those satanists or witches who disguise themselves as atheists, for there are many of them here in NL religion section. But this is about those whose atheism wasn't hinged on satanism or witchcraft but just by itself, despite being children of the devil.

Some of them are now going diabolic and into witchcraft, so they can no longer claim to be atheists, because they now hence consciously worship and serve the devil as their god.

justlove91:
Having studied hundreds of messages purported to have been communicated by "dead" people through mediums, describing their environments, I've come to believe that physicality is a matter of where one is looking from.

1. They say they inhabit a physical world that is as solid and physical as here on earth. Their houses are solid and they cannot pass through it just as we can't walk through our houses.
2. When they visit the earth plane (here), our houses and other things that make up our physical world are misty and insubstantial to them and they can easily see through or pass through our walls because it is not physical to them.
3. They have a body that is as physical to touch and sight as their former earth body. This body is not just a vacuum, it is a biological machine that contains internal organs like brain, heart, lungs, blood etc though some organs are not present such as the reproductive and digestive organs.

So, from our perspective, we're material while they're immaterial but from their perspective they're material while we and our world are immaterial.
Very very good analysis.
Now, if you are referring to inter-dimensional beings from another dimension, then I absolutely believe and subscribe to that.
In fact, I can opine that the majority of so called spiritual encounters are chance or accidental encounters with inter-dimensional beings.
I subscribe to this because it makes solid scientific sense from everything we know so far about quantum physics, frequencies and the electromagnetic spectrum.
If, for example, our consciousness is only limited certain frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum for sight , sound , touch, etc, it is logical to assume our physical universe is also limited to certain frequencies beyond what is available on the electromagnetic spectrum. This would logically mean that the possibility of other universes huming on lower or higher frequency bands than our own.
Now, since we know or have come to the conclusion that our brains possess quantum-mechanical characteristics and function like quantum computers, it is plausible that our brains create quantum fields that extend way beyond the limits of our physical senses.
Therefore, it would be plausible that once in a while,under stress, trauma or induced conditions, our brains leap out and briefly entangles with beings or objects beyond our physical frequency band.
It would also make sense that through practice and meditation, the brain can be attenuated or modulated to stretch beyond our normal range of perception.

Deepsight, let's hear your opinion on this particular perspective.

Many times.
Not only did I have them frequently in the past, but I actually began to take notes by my bedside and catalogue them.
I carefully noted when they occurred, my mental and physical state when they occurred, and any other discernable patterns associated with the experience.
One thing I did notice was that the experiences tended to occur during periods of physical exhaustion and mental alertness.
In other words, when the body is physically exhausted but the mind is overactive, mostly by stress or anxiety.
On at least 2 occasions when I found myself in this dual condition in the middle of the night, I tried and successfully induced an out of body experience and was semi-conscious throughout the experience.

And of course, at the end if it all, being honest to myself, I wondered and still wonder whether those experiences were real or just my own interpretations of something going on within my psyche at that period in my life.

I'm sure you have heard of psychosomatic illnesses.
These are illnesses, pains or aches, although felt by the individual, shows no confirmation on any medication diagnosis or tests. They have their origins in the psyche.
I believe that lucid dreaming, visions and so-called spiritual experiences fall into the category of psychosomatic phenomena.

By the aforestated means: dreams, visions, out-of-body experiences, astral travel and even sometimes directly through the spiritual faculties while awake and lucid.
There is no way that you and I, or any 2 people can have the very same dreams, visions, out of body experiences and then arrive at the same interpretations.
That means that such experiences might occur as a result of complex fluxes in brain chemistry, memories, physical and mental stress and the general make up of your psyche.

Just like God, what you see or believe has it's origins in your psyche.

Highlighted shows you're just assuming things without a thorough investigation into the matter {Psalms 10:4} i have discovered that in most cases when critics (atheists) want to talk about God their only focus is comparing what the Bible says with science claiming since these things can't be scientifically proved they are lies.
The Bible is not a science textbook it says a lot about unseen intelligent beings living around us so when these unseen beings operates you can't just conclude that you must see them perform things the Bible said they did in times past before you agree they exist you will continue to demand for proof of their existence while those dealing with them ignore you and whatever you think about them.
As for science intellectuals have come to the conclusion that they can't say God doesn't exist.
WHY?
The Bible was written thousands of years ago before modern day scientists began finding out so many things this book says which surely sound odd during the time it was written.
I will give you three instances.
The book says that God hangs our planet home (earth) upon nothing {Job 26:7} as at the time Moses penned down those words nobody living could agree with him that our planet home as huge as it is can be suspended floating without anything supporting it in fact scientists of his time said a lot that makes sense far much more than what Moses wrote but today you and i know that Moses the man who lived some 3600 years ago is right on the matter.
The book also talked about water circle how it evaporates from the earth, condensed and fall back to the earth as rain {Job 36:27-28} please how did Moses knew all of that back then?
The book also talked about the exact shape of our planet that it's spherical (round) when most people back then thought it is flat! Isaiah 40:22
So who was giving these people the accurate information if there is no unseen intelligent beings?
You said Nigeria is a proof that God doesn't exist yet you don't know that as big as this country is the worshipers of the true God are less than 500,000 so what impact do you think that number can make in the midst of over 200,000,000?

Science is limited to the physical, so I cant agree.
Subjective experiences can be valid, they just may be impossible or hard to share or communicate. Surely you would not say the fact that you cannot prove what you dreamt last night means that you didnt dream it. Or the fact that you cannot prove what you are thinking in your head at a given moment means you did not think it. Or the fact that you cannot prove you are in love with Ekaete means you are not in love with her. Those are subjective but perfectly real.
Dreams have been proven to occur, because neural signatures for dreaming, thinking and feelings of love are unique and scientifically identifiable.
Like I said before, even the Religious experience, an experience often falsely relegated to the realm of the spiritual, is now not only mapable in the brain, but itself subject to manipulation by chemical substances.
At the end of the day, measurable biochemical activity is responsible for subjective experiences we falsely deemed 'spiritual'.

I accept the existence of my spirit based on subjective experience primarily, because I subjectively experience and live it. This is not an experience that can be shared with anyone, as no one else experiences my life but me. This has nothing to do with faith - it is as real as what I live and observe daily - but, being subjective, cannot be shared, anymore than I can prove to you what I am thinking or what I dreamt last night.
Subjective experiences are not trustworthy. Everyone has a different interpretation of the same experience.
Even chemical substances can shape or affect your subjective experience. Likewise, religious experience is a subjective experience, not different from substance induced experiences.
Therefore, the scientific method, scientific rationalism remains the pre-eminent arbiter of our reality.

Here is an excerpt from the long article.

Neuroscience research, led by the funding that supports it, is dominated by research into disorders of the nervous system. The pursuit of treatments and cures (and the research efforts into understanding the normal function of the brain) builds on decades of discovery into all levels of neural organization – seemingly none of it reliant on knowing very much at all about consciousness. Studies of how consciousness is generated, and why it has the characteristics it does, is nevertheless a focus of considerable interest and effort. There is no consensus about how it is generated, or how best to approach the question, but all investigations start with the incontrovertible premise that consciousness comes about from the action of the brain.

The approach the majority of neuroscientists take to the question of how consciousness is generated, it is probably fair to say, is to ignore it. Although there are active research programs looking at correlates of consciousness, and explorations of informational properties of what might be relevant neural ensembles, the tacitly implied mechanism of consciousness in these approaches is that it somehow just happens. This reliance on a “magical emergence” of consciousness does not address the “objectively unreasonable” proposition that elements that have no attributes or properties that can be said to relate to consciousness somehow aggregate to produce it. Neuroscience has furnished evidence that neurons are fundamental to consciousness; at the fine and gross scale, aspects of our conscious experience depend on specific patterns of neural activity – in some way, the connectivity of neurons computes the features of our experience. So how do we get from knowing that some specific configurations of cells produce consciousness to understanding why this would be the case? Behind the voltages and currents electrophysiologists measure is a staggeringly complex system of electromagnetic fields – these are the fundamental physics of neurons and glia in the brain. The brain is entirely made of electromagnetism (EM) phenomena from the level of the atoms up. The EM field literally manifests the computations, or signaling, or information processing/activities performed by connected cellular ensembles that generate a 1st-person perspective. An investigation into the EM field at the cellular scale provides the possibility of identifying the outward signs of a mechanism in fundamental terms (physics), as opposed to merely describing the correlates of our mental abstractions of it.

Well that thread ran for 39 pages so you can understand some significant energy and thought was devoted to it which I cannot easily replicate. All I can tell you is that -

1. A material thing cannot produce an immaterial thing.

2. If matter is the source of all that we are, there is no such thing as freewill and everything that happens is predestined and pre - determined, ergo there is neither good nor evil and thus nothing to complain about in the world

3. Matter cannot be conscious by itself.

I understand that these statements may require elucidation / expatiation, but I will have to leave you to dwell on them as I cant rehash such a subtle, detailed and nuanced matter all over again.
1. False
For more than 100yrs now, we have been making transistor radios(material objects) that generate electrical signals( immaterial) across miles. In fact, the transistor has transformed life on earth as we know it.

Pianos( tangible) produce music ( intangible).

It is not by mistake that "physics" as a word is a derivative of "physical." Thus the science of physics can only address the physical world.
There is reality beyond, before and after the physical.

The physical is not even as real as the non-physical.
Evidence of this rests in the transient nature of the physical.

The intangible and spiritual are much more real and abiding.

You know on a private level, I might say that agree with you on most of these postulations and educated guesses( which is what they are). But that a notion sounds good to me, for which I might be inclined to ' brlieve ' is not the same as accepting it as fact. Facts are built upon evidence.
