Not really.

It's that nothing he does that explains the zero!
We are basically saying the same thing.

As long as zero is not a real number but a natural number your answer will always be zero in term of multiplication

Buhari (something) x Buhari brain (empty or nothing) = nothing
That is why even 1000 tenures of Buhari will leave Naija empty or even worse off. You grab?

Yes, very good example. Nothing is simply nothing. Buhari (nothing) x 600yrs = nothing.

Thats why God said the world is vanity (nothing) bc, it was created out of nothing.

And y do you have to forget that the counting of number start with Zero? It simply mean that every figure no matter how big or small will surely come back to zero.

Buhari was pushed. That is the fact. I doubt he merited most he gained.

From getting into NDA with a failed waec etc.

If people are pushed and helped through life, they will achieve a lot. The man does not have what it takes to achieve what he had. Just sentiments like a lot of his appointments he dashed out.

He was pushed abi? He had different supervisors that pushed him all the time everytime. He was pushed to be Petroleum minister, he was pushed to be head of State in a coup he was not a part of, he was pushed to be a APC Presidential candidate that had the likes of Saraki, Atiku, Amaechi etc. He was pushed back in the day to be GOC commanding several commands. I guess he was also pushed to be praised by Obama, Merkel, UK prime minister and other world leaders that has/ had lots of respect and admiration for him Look my friend i feel sorry for Buhari today cos he had an excellent record but messed it up with his 2nd term run. He is old, sick, and has dementia. He is at this point incompetent for a Dynamic Nigeria. He shouldn't have run for 2nd term at all. But hate him all you want, his former records stands tall, no matter what you say.

Buhari would never have been president if Amaechi did not use Rivers money to bribe delegates to get Buhari the ticket.

Atiku would have won the primaries. He was pushed whether you like it or not. He was never qualified to even join the army in the first place. Whether you like it or not.

Petroleum minister was appointment. Not by merit.

PTF was appointment. Not by merit.

Buhari was pushed.

And this is where you are making the mistake for you are running smack into the Solid Wall of Law of the Beginnings.

When you read you begin with A,B,C, when you count you begin with 1,2,3.

We work with Somethings not nothings.Thus, it is The Law that Something Causes Something and Nothing can not do anything.

This is the Law of the Multiplication, for you Must have Something to Multiply. A person shall be deemed insane if he is seen working with "Nothings"!

The something to multiply is the factor. It does not fall from thin air. The multiplication format is a guide for production.

At the end, multiplication is product. Not factors.

You can not miraculously multiply 100 oranges by 5. Will the oranges start duplicating themselves?

There is a reason for the multiplication.

Are you making dresses? Are you splitting a material? Are you producing juices?

Are you bringing bottles of wine?

From the objective, you use the product to find the number.

Finito.

Oh Please, do not take it the wrong way. You indeed made meaningful contribution only that I was simply expressing the fact that idid not like it because It is not true.

Smiling...

I really don't have problem with what you think about my submission, if it's what sweating for I would have done that.

But, if you really meant my contribution was meaningful, it implies that it has some substance worth considering.

How come your "respectful" reaction painted it a "product of pit toilet" and brainwashing, were you just playing with words?

It isn't a crime calling black "black" and white "white" but saying the same submission you tagged 'erroneous' is indeed meaningful isn't a symptom of balanced judgment either.

I want to assume you have the truth and the only way to dispel darkness is to light a candle (at least). Not just calling it out.

My opinions aren't rigid, it's just like every other submission on that thread, I didn't invent mathematics, I'm not a mathematician, and I don't think by submission is even Mathematical.

Moreover, we human beings tend to interpret things in the direction of our inclination. I only hijacked that opportunity to express my own understanding Godhead, nothing sinister.

I insist we see better through others, and your first submission still remain constructive even if your choice of words aren't too sweet.

But we can solve it elementarily.

Observe this :

∀r r∈R r−r=0 where R is real number
∀r , r=r ∈R
∃ x∈ R
Thus, multiplying any number x with 0 means :

0.x=(r−r).x=r.x−r.x

Now, it is obvious that r.x=r.x
no matter what any of mathematical axiom you invoke.

Therefore,

r.x−r.x=0

and your problem is solved.

Use Buhari as key study. when he ruled for 8 eight years without improving any sector of Nigeria economy or education, agriculture or politics or security, you will truly understand that Buhari is equivalent to zero.

The end result is what matters in multiplication and not what you use in multiplying. As long as you multiply any entity with zero, does it amount to something else? No. That is why the result is zero, since nothing is gotten at the end...

Sure

If I must reply,

3 x 7 means 3 times 7 or 3 by 7

This means we add 3 up to 7times

3+3+3+3+3+3+3=21

This is why the primary school multiplication table is arranged separately for each number

2x1=2 | 2
2x2=4 | 2+2
2x3=6 | 2+2+2
2x4=8 | 2+2+2+2

The question is how will you write

2x0 | ?

You can write

0x2 | 0+0

It is easier to explain 0x2 than 2x0

0x2 is twice of nothing
2x0 is nothing of two things

Take 2 real oranges in your hands for instance, in what scenario will you multiply them so that they turn to zero or nothing? I guess you can't except by magic.

That means the concept of zero or nothing is purely a figment of imagination and purely abstract.

Going by the commutative law of multiplication, 2x0 = 0x2

Therefore, you can read 0x2 to mean 2 times we add 0. Rearranging numbers to solve or explain mathematical concepts is an agelong and acceptable practice amongst mathematicians.

Alternatively, if you don't want to rearrange you can read 0x2 as:

0 times we add 2 to zero (using zero as the starting point of your number). Which would still give you 0.

By the same token;
2x0 can be read as 2 times we add 0 to zero:

Zero + 0 + 0 = 0

1 x 3 reads 1 time we add 3 to 0
0 + 3 = 3

2 x 3 reads 2 times we add 3 to 0:
0 + 3 + 3 = 6

0 x 3 reads 0 times we add 3 to 0:
0 = 0 (because we didn't add any 3 to 0)

He was pushed all through the ranks in the army. What made Ameachi and Atiku queue behind him? How come in the Military with brilliant soldiers like IBB, Ukiwe, JT, etc, he was chosen as leader? also, he was pushed by different leaders at different times........... hate can make people believe things. Also, what i've found out is people that accuse others of these things, they themselves are guilty of it.

Even after Buhari got into the army, he still failed his maths and was pushed to remain there.
