Right from time, Israelite have been excellent craftsmen, scientist and surgeon.....

Before I forget, excellent business men

Babylon
Persia
Assyria

And yes, I remember Shylock!

Godblessme1:
guy be ashamed of yourself. How can a grown man like you hate your fellow man because of an Arabic religion?


I'm ashamed of you

Be ashamed of yourself and every other Worshippers of men, names, Culture.

The Jews y'all worship hate the one you call the Son of God and a Messiah.

So, who owns the real shame?

Black dominated countries no dey feature for this list. Does it mean that we are not naturally good at mathematics? Even the highest ranked African country - South Africa - its team was composed of White and Chinese South Africans.

It seems some things in life are largely genetic, aka by nature, rather than by nurture.

1st 2nd 3rd dey their o.


We dey celebrate 6th

Botragelad:
Finishing 6th in a global math competition is no small achievement. Israel is once again making every sane person .

China
United States
Republic of Korea
Poland
Japan
Israel
India
Singapore
Vietnam
Canada

I did not see them, I don't expect anyone fighting for their gods to be mathematically Sound anyway 😂 😂

I don't understand.
They didn't come first, second or third, so why is this making Nigerian news

turkey was 10th and Iran was 12th

[quote author=Botragelad post=136242519][/quote]True! Though you forgot to mention that the Russian team participated and they were joint second with the USA team but their results weren't official due to Ukrainian conflict unlike the organizers of the International Physics Olympiad, International Chemistry Olympiad,etc who aren't involved in Politics

PMForce:
turkey was 10th and Iran was 12th

Iran also secured 2and place in the recently concluded International Biology Olympiad also the Russian team participated in the International Mathematics Olympiad and they were joint second with the USA team but due to Ukrainian conflict their results weren't official

Algebra, quadratic equations, the law of cosines; all brought to you by Muslims. 😄😄😄

In fact, when Muslims were building universities, advancing science, and developing knowledge, your oyinbo masters hadn’t even figured out basic hygiene.

I don’t really blame you. I blame the West for doing a fantastic job turning small minds like yours into walking anti-Islam propaganda machines.

Godblessme1:
You can never see Islamist country there.

They Are thought how to hate Christianity and Jews lol

Also during the Dark Ages mathematicians like Muhammad Ibn Al-Khwarizmi (750-820 CE) published Al Djaber(Algebra) in 820 AD and also contributed to the advancement of Algebra many Arabs made contributions to advancement of Mathematics, Astronomy,etc in Saudi Arabia also Persians(Iranians) were also advanced at this time while Europe was in the Dark Ages

Whats the usefulness of this article to an average Nigerian?

tctrills:
This is why you can never grow

And where is this taking you to?

Way before this particular edition got popular, another Nairalander and I had analysed the past winners and only came across one Black participant (a Nigerian) who got to either the Bronze or Silver stage.

If poverty is to be blamed for the absence or poor understanding of foundational mathematics by Black people, what about African Americans who are way richer than Black Africans? How come even children of Black African immigrants in the US and Europe cannot come top? I was shocked when I saw two and on a closer look THREE Chinese South Africans. C'mon! If Chinese can come top to be included in the South African team, then it is largely genetic because the same Chinese and their cousins make up 40% of the 10 countries.

China and Vietnam were poorer than African countries during the 40s, 50s and 60s.

how is this a front page news?... are we israelites ?

Nigeria we hail thee

does it mean u are too old to understand or see that this competition is not a reason to conclude that any race is better than the other 4 any reason becuz itz impossible to get more or less from any race or becuz no race is short of anything useful to humanity?

as in, u cant prove whites or blacks are better in anything cuz u cant test all whites against all blacks and that means such conclusion has to be an exaggeration.


ur attempt to use statistics to prove it
is a proof that ur understanding of mathematics has been overwhelmed by the results of an
over hyped competition.

any competition that leads to such conclusion about genetics and race at the same time is over hyped


genetics doesnt prove the superiority or inferiority of race cuz race is all about certain skin colors which do not determine all the genes or characters that must be passed from parents to offspring

the genetics of skin colors dont make certain how smart a person will be from birth till death

it only deals with the color of skin at birth/separation from where conception or formation happens

I love the great state of Israel.

May God continue to bless the great state of Israel.

Israel took sixth position and its Mossad agent is celebrating it.
Na wao, I can understand that a man drowning in a sixth position will grab a grass to show he can still put up a certain amount of struggle.
Even alagba that fell from an iroko tree was seen clapping for itself, because no one was ready to acknowledge its performance.
Anyway sha, at all at all na hin bad pass.
For the records, Israel is like a university that is a glorified and overrated secondary school.

Exactly! No one, no religion or ethnicity has monopoly over intelligence.

Next month I'll be 28, and I know that I was created to be a scientist. I'm a scientist now, and an engineer, but 1 thing that has hindered my progress since childhood is church. Yes, church. The Bible says that my people perish for lack of knowledge.



In a generation such as ours, a gifted child should be given ample time and opportunity (guidance) by wise adults to tap into his/her potential.



Yet, one mistake religious people have made over the years is this: making the child always attend church activities instead of studying.



God gave us our brains for a reason. I'm a religious person. I'm also a sensible human being. Religion is good, and should teach us time management and wisdom like Solomon, rather than make us switch off our brains else the world will decline to a 2nd Dark Ages.

“If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.”(Ecclesiastes 10:10).






ISAIAH 1
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. 5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. 6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. 7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. 8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. 9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. 10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. 21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. 22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: 23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. 24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

Botragelad:
By all means, celebrate your country if you want, assuming you can even find it on the list. Not that anyone’s stopping you.

This current Israeli state is a oppressive Zionist state that needs to be tamed.
There's nothing worthy of celebrating it for, the blood their soulless and devilish govt keep oppressing the people of gaza and Palestine .

To hell with whoever and whomever supports them.

verifiablefacts:
I hope this News is for the Israelis or how come we are celebrating the sixth position, what of the first, second, third. ..

which one are you celebrating
