He’s one funny guy .Most times he doesn’t even know how contradictory he sounds .

He’s been insulting Africans who don’t fancy the idea of translating science to their forefather’s language but here he is praising Einstein who is guilty of same.

I was reading the discussion between u guys then I saw him calling u mumu just cos u are pointing the obvious facts to him. I can only imagine how most of his discussions offline always end .

Who's following the Victor Osimhen and Napoli debacle on Twitter?

I dunno, but think people are making too much of the video...the Napoli page trolls it's players now and again, maybe as some form of crude joke, but it's something they do. Osimhen has responded to the joke by deleting practically everything relating to Napoli from his page...unless this is some ploy that ends with him getting a contract negotiation that sees him get a raise, not a good move, even if the page wasn't some troll account.

Proposed venues for the Nigeria/Benin joint bid to host the 2027 AFCON.

Nigeria:

MKO Abiola Stadium - Abuja
Adokiye Amiesimaka stadium - Port Harcourt
Teslim Balogun stadium - Lagos
Ahmadu Bello Stadium - Kaduna
Stephen Keshi Stadium - Asaba
Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium - Benin
Sani Abacha stadium - Kano

Benin 🇧🇯 Republic:
Stade Mathieu Kerekou - Cotonou
Stade Charles de Gaulle - Porto Novo

CAF will announce the winning bid later today..

Nonetheless, I would have swapped either Asaba or PH with Uyo, which arguably has the best stadia in the SS

[color=royalblue]So, Einstein, one the GOATs of trado physics, regretted not being diligent in the languages of his fore fathers?

Hmmmmm.

Yet he was GOATED.

Its okay..[/color]

A001:
Who told German isn't his native language? Do you know what they call a native language? I don't think so.

Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, and the language of his birthplace was German. He spoke that language, his mother tongue, for most of his life and did science in it.

You didn't get that well-known history on the same source you screenshot?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If Einstein said that, which language was he referring to as that of his forefathers?

Please help me make your answer short.

Which language was he referring to as that of his forefathers?[/color]

A001:
So many ignorant people on Nairaland, people wey no know their left from right. To do a simple research on Google sef, dem no fit do. Graduates o, lols

A001:
Lols, German was the language of his birthplace in Germany. The language of a person's birthplace is what's called their native language.

Check your dictionary. I can see you don't know what "native" means.

However, Yiddish is also spoken in Germany. So, his native languages were German (the one he used mostly while alive and did science in) and Yiddish (the one he spoke sparingly).

Simple.

Native language my foot. All these native languages littered all over Nigeria is one of the major causes of disunity among us.

We would have fared better as a country if everyone spoke the same language at least.

[color=royalblue]You are the only graduate here, so i expect you to understand comprehension.

I did not ask you to use dictionary
I did not ask you what "Native" meant

Einstein said he regretted not being diligent in the language of his forefathers.

Which language was he referring to?

Don't be a coward, at least on Muhammad's birthday.

Tell us that language Einstein was referring to.[/color]

A001:
I already said Einstein had more than one native language, German (primarily) and Yiddish. You didn't read that abi?

A001:
See the genius that did trado-physics in his native language, German. Mentally strong people are proud of their mother tongue and always promote it in their works.

This is one of the traits of highly intelligent people.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So, a man's forefathers can have two languages, abi?

It was Yiddish.

That was the language of his forefathers, and he regretted not studying it.[/color]

donjazzet:
That guy has a serious problem.

He can never have a decent conversation with anyone. The minute you engage him, just start expecting insults. It's a personality issue.

nihilistjnr:
You're actually arguing against yourself.

You've been writing paragraphs about Nigerians being stupid because they study in English, their native tongue by your own definition, instead of in their parent's original language.

And you're using Einstein as an example of that.



But Einstein wasn't ethnically German just as nigerians are not ethnically English. We learnt to speak, read and write English in the same way the Non-German Einstein learnt to speak the Germsn language.

Einstein himself with his own mouth admitted his shame that he couldn't speak his father's language.

So if Einstein did not bother translating science into the language of his forefathers, what exactly is your point again?

Albert Einstein (/ˈaɪnstaɪn/ EYEN-styne;[38] German: [ˈalbɛɐt ˈʔaɪnʃtaɪn] ⓘ; 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a[b] German-born[/b] theoretical physicist,[39] widely held to be one of the greatest and most influential scientists of all time. Best known for developing the theory of relativity, he also made important contributions to quantum mechanics, and was thus a central figure in the revolutionary reshaping of the scientific understanding of nature that modern physics accomplished in the first decades of the twentieth century.[1][40] His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been called "the world's most famous equation".[41] He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect",[42] a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.[43][44] In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World, Einstein was ranked the greatest physicist of all time.[45] His intellectual achievements and originality have made Einstein synonymous with genius.[46]

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm,[39] in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire, on 14 March 1879.[54][55] His parents, secular Ashkenazi Jews, were Hermann Einstein, a salesman and engineer, and Pauline Koch. In 1880, the family moved to Munich, where Einstein's father and his uncle Jakob founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie, a company that manufactured electrical equipment based on direct current.[39]

This is the point I've always made to the fool and he refuses to see it.

Having a unifying language is good and healthy for any society. Not to talk more of a nigeria that has more than 500 different languages within it's borders. You take a car within 100 kilometers of anywhere within Nigeria and you will hear a different language being spoken.

English is one of the major factor that unifies and levels us all and he thinks it's bad we're speaking it. He fails to recognize it's function. And once u tell him, you become an inferior fool to him. He's just an idiot_

A001:
Use your dictionary to check what "native" means and stop embarrassing yourself in public. A native language is the language spoken in a person's birthplace, and for some people more than one language are spoken.

For Einstein, it was German primarily and Yiddish secondarily. Simple issue.

So when I read the below, I laugh. Proud of what? Promote what? Einstein spoke German because he was born in Germany not because he was proud of German Culture. He did everything in his power from an early age to NOT promote Germany.
