Very good move! Where are they rushing to?

As a university teacher, I know that one of the reasons we have so many half-baked graduates is that many of them were rushed into the universities, immature, and having not had any time to grow as human beings or discover themselves. Many university students have no idea what they intend to do with their lives, so when the training wheels of the educational system come off, they are lost. Tertiary education only gives you the tools to shape what you have inside you into something valuable to you and to society.

I think this will make that easier.

iwantolive:
bro,just nothing.

Edit: I've pm'ed you.
Please note: all I intend to do is point you in the right direction if I can. I may be able to do that, but please expect nothing more.

Coronavirus in Nigeria vs Italy. Why the low DEATH RATE

These are why coronavirus death rate is very low in Africa, but since Africa is not a country, I would choose the 3rd World Country of Nigeria with a population of 200 million people congested in a 923,000 km² of shithole.
I also give a hypothesis of why a 1st World country like Italy with only 60 million people has far more death from COVID-19 than Nigeria. Or a developed country like Spain with less than 50 million people, would record more death than Nigeria which currently has 4 recorded death 6 weeks after the 1st confirmed coronavirus case in the country.

Remember to turn on the English-subtile if you can't understand whats being said.

They'er as follows (more details in the video):
1) Weather Factor
2) Immunity
3) Elderly
4) Smokers and Culture
5) Experience with EBOLA
6) Martial Law
7) Religious Faith
8 ) Opportunistic Politics

You can't say we have low death rate o.
Less than 250 confirmed. 6 dead.
Lower than Italy, but higher than a number of other countries.
Just sayin'

Where is @mrphysics? For those who are not physicists, microbiologists or educated at all in anything, kindly explain or debunk this finding!

Please take the opportunity to educate yourself from my previous post about how scientific consensus is formed. I am not even going to find out if the extract was from a real peer-reviewed scientific article.

A few years ago, a group was a able to beat the speed of light. Not just any group. A very well-respected research group. They published their findings, but after the process I described to you went into gear, their findings were easily refuted.

I'm fed up with this bullshit. If one of you conspiracy wonks has the guts, provide the list of credible scientific studies backing up your claims, and let me provide a list that says they are bullshit.

hotwax:
Please mr engineer..tell us the researches that linked cancer to electromagnetic radiations is false.
Mr graduate, oya debunk it

What is the point?
Most of the plastics in your house have chemicals that at one point or the other, have been shown to be carcinogenic.
Most of your creams, your food, your water, the air you breathe. At one point or the other, someone has found them carcinogenic.
Oh, yeah: your alcohol too.

You lot do not understand how scientific consensus is arrived at on a matter. The methodology has to be sound, you have to show statistical significance, and the results must be reproducible. Once that happens, a consensus is formed. It just happens. Science gets smarter. No need for histrionics, or frothing at the mouth. The process is the most democratic on earth, and not controlled to any real significant extent by any government (there are power blocks; that is a different discussion).

And the scientific consensus right now is that no portion of the electromagnetic spectrum being used, or planned for use in any technology (including 5G) at the recommended power levels is more carcinogenic than the things I started off listing.

So, give this thing a rest.

Skyfornia:
SMH...

I have noticed with increase how some certain people on this forum abuse other individuals whose views are contrary to their own belief or dogma instead of expressing their arguments in a more mature and reasonable way.

A journey through some of their previous comments you will also notice that some of these abusers are Atheists and people addicted to hard substances.

You go about pouring out your vituperations on every thread, creating nuisance and getting supports from your kinds...for your mind you feel say you be James Bond.

Now to the business of the day..

Some of you believe that some radiations can can attack a cell in human body.

You believe that consistent usage of x-ray machines can cause harm to the body.

You uses phones that recognizes your thumb, eyes and face and respond instantly.

You've seen or believe there's a technology that detects when someone lied.

Yet you find it difficult to believe that a technology such as 5G is harmful to humans or cannot have negative effects to a human body? Now I'm not saying that I have a proof of it's danger but the possibility cannot be neglected.

Your claim is that 5G is a non-ionizing radiation yet ultraviolet rays, Microwave which also are among the non-ionizing radiation are reported in most cases to be harmful to humans and animals.

Chinese, the originators of 5G are busy destroying the masts and you are inside your small village abusing and cussing them.

Your colonial masters are determined to destroy all 5G programs in their territories, and you that studied physics in one local university in Nigeria is out here exposing your ignorance.

I weep for you.

Weep for yourself!

Why must we believe anything without evidence? Perhaps I should show you the compelling evidence that the earth is flat then. BTW, we don't believe the earth is spherical (approximately) because An Important Scientist told us. We do so because Science provides a solid framework to discern truth from trash. Not infallible, but solid. And right now, that framework says all the fears you guys are screaming about are baseless.

We now live in the world of Idiocracy.

GregJames:

There is so much sense in this!

No, there isn't at all.
You should have taken the hint when he said "I've been learning so much about frequencies and it's a scary topic"
This country world is doomed if people have all the information they need at the fingertips but remain so ignorant.

I have no time for some of the conspiracy theories flying all over the place, but still, the right question here is "WHY?"

What is the big secret in how China handled their COVID outbreak?? China should chillax a bit joo, and FG should not be so quick to invite them into bed.

GamalNasser:


Sorry existence? Me ? I am a very successful Nigerian serial entrepreneur you have no idea , we should be worried about your own existence I am very fine , innovating and succeeding by the day. Proof that hasn't propounded any new thing , is that one a Prof .. cram and repeat professor

I'm not going to engage in a dick-measuring contest with a random no-name empty-head liar on the Internet. Have a good life.

GamalNasser:


Name a drug and stop this cheap type bailing .You cant name any because you know there is none , in your private time your mind will keep scanning different drugs or treatmentment protocol you know and you will find out I am right but still you will be stubborn and end up mentioning an analgesic or anti protozoan and I will again break it down for you why they don't cure anything.

I should leave the young minds to crammer's like you . See where leaving Nigerian youths to people like you have gotten us

Do.Not.Talk.About.Me.
Just go ahead with your sorry existence, okay?

GamalNasser:
You called me slow? You have no idea of what my mind does so I will not blame you

I called you slow because that is what the evidence before us suggests. I wasn't being rude, just factual. I have a very good idea of how your mind works, and you are welcome to it. Just don't sow useless conspiracy theories in the minds of impressionable youths.

And check out this gem:

Prof now I challenge you to present any Orthodox protocol or drug that cures anything? None !!!!

For real? Am I even supposed to respond to that? Abeg, I dey go sleep.

Stay well, but please try to take your conspiracy theories to an Area 51 convention or something. Leave the young minds here alone.

Chief, your kind of aggressive ignorance is a threat to the world (and I am not even joking).

Why don't you quit spewing rubbish? Every baby scientist knows correlation does not imply causation! I'll bet you $500 that I can show you ten other things that correlate with high infection rates, starting with letters in the names of cities!! If you prefer to be ignorant, fine, but why confuse innocent young ones?! For the last time, there is NOT A SINGLE credible scientific evidence that 5G has anything to do with COVID.

And would you please stop blathering about hydroxychloroquine? Its antiviral effects have been known for a long while, but it is far from the miracle drug Trump sold it as. If only he (and slow fellows like you) had listened to Dr. Fauci, you would understand that there is a process by which efficacy of a drug is established.

Don't even get me started on your claims. You cure cancer? I'm sure you're one of those people who think cancers are just leg sores. And how can you have patents and innovations when you do not know the first thing about how science is done? Intuition? Abegi.

Stop filling the heads of gullible youths with rubbish!

GamalNasser:


Which comprehension again , you said 5g is barely available even if when I have correlated COVID mortality and infection rates with cities with 5g you still want to come and tell me bout comprehension..last week people like you also argued with about the efficacy of chloroquine against Covid just because the authorities said so..dude you are a small mind so face your front

GamalNasser:


Well I do my own research myself and never jump on to a bandwagon of conspiracy theories..I didn't wake up and just start blabbing I have been able to correlate infection rate and mortality rate with cities that have 5g coverage and those that don't and it's been accurate to show there is direct relationship with the number of 5g cell sites and number of deaths from Covid ..Cities with high death rates all had blanket coverage e.g Wuhan , Newyork , cities with partial coverage had moderate death rates e.g London , Stockholm...Cities with zero coverage extremely low mortality ( mostly of people with co-morbidities like heart disease , kidney disease and cancer) e.g Lagos Nigeria .

Prof I started curing cancer using my own research developed cure protocol and cure rate is 100 percent till date ( you are free to laugh as usual)

Lolzzzzz.
I do Science for a living. The fabric of proven, actionable knowledge as we know it today is based on the Scientific Method. You should also know that anecdotal evidence is not reckoned with in Science. Do you know how many people of my generation could narrate the story of how Thunder Balogun killed someone with a ball? A story that never happened. Moral: there are laid down ways of mining, evaluating and disseminating knowledge. If one goes off-road, they end up sprouting wild theories like you (no offense meant).

Abalaka "cured" so many of AIDS, abi? Unless you show me your peer-reviewed articles, I'm going to laugh indeed. But I do wish you the best, for what its worth. As I said elsewhere, you sound like a nice sort, and it has been fun bantering with you.

blowjohn:

In the city of Kansas?

Warning: some interactions will make your IQ drop a few points. As in, you will feel populations of cells in your brain dying
Just joking, and to be fair, the dude sounds like a nice sort, loco theories aside.

GamalNasser:


I never said humans build antibodies against radio waves ..I will school you just once and if you can pick please and if you can't face your front .

1 : 5g weakens human immunity
2 : creating the right environment for our Virome to react and release a strain of virus from the huge Virome catalogue
3 : the weak among human get pegged by the virus
4 : the rest get asymptomatic develop the right antibodies for the strain and move on then the technology continues

This is not the first time the human race is experiencing this . I would like to school you and what a virus is but I doubt you have the capacity to understand prof

Professor!!!
Just one small inconvenient question though. Please show me the refereed research in reputable journals that back up the drivel above?
Surely, a professor such as yourself must know that this is how knowledge is created and disseminated, not from low-bit rate WhatsApp videos from unknowns?
By the way, because sarcasm is lost on so many young ones, I should say this o: dude is far from being a professor kankan o. I'm just being sarcastic.

GamalNasser:

Guy some things are beyond your brain grade so face front please ..You were part of those laughing at Trump when he said chloroquine was a fix to COVID ..please face front

Lol. Happy to o.

But, word of advice: you see that thing you wrote about building antibodies against radio and radar? That is one of the stupidest thing on the Internet right now (I swear I am not trying to abuse you. I swear.). It just is truly stupid to anyone who understands the topics. If I were you, I would edit it. Else, small small children will be mocking what they think is your ignorance. Mo kan n so ni o (jus' saying o). ..

GamalNasser:
You don't even know what a virus is so go and face your curriculum and leave me alone ....when you know what a virus is come back and we talk ..

Education is a choice; it cannot be forced on anyone.
I do find it irritating that the uninformed are usually the ones who most confidently push their weird theories.
But that's not your fault, abi? Enjoy o.

GamalNasser:

Maybe those heavily invested in 5g are hiding the truth about the technology and hoping we will eventually build strong antibodies to weather it just like we did radio and radar .

Baba, please stop this 5G rubbish.
Edit: build antibodies to radio and radar WTH are people smoking around here?

globemoney:
is this not the same corona people are recovering from and being discharged in Nigeria. Something is not right. RIP to the dead

Don't.Tempt.Fate.
What is the average age and health condition of the Nigerians who have easily survived it? Have our vulnerable populations really been infected yet? Have our facilities been overwhelmed yet?
Don't crow yet o.....

What else do you think this COVID-19 made clear?

I think this COVID-19 may have changed the meaning of the word "fact". Or, how else do you explain this post??

989900:
It is very important because, that's basically what Near Earth Objects are all about: size! Size is everything! And if you say 'tiny', I was curious to know what you define as 'tiny' in metres, kilometres, inches, etc.

In my previous posts, I have consistently maintained that, this is a developing story that needs further information to validate either claim: bomb or meteorite.

Units ke? This is not a scientific journal nao. The context within which the word was used made it clear what I meant. Whatever the units, the magnitude of this event was insufficient for any type of sensationalism to result in widespread panic.

Your open-minded/even-handed approach to this mirrors mine, so, I don't have any problem with you at all. Unfortunately, most people are jumping to conclusions on opposite sides of the divide.

ailenmen:
Hurray !!!! Yes that's may be d cause of the explosion. And I equally agree with that theory.

I wonder were our police men got their information from that its a truck carrying explosives ! "Nigeria police "

Simple investigation ,u cannot investigate !
And u will just lie and mislead he d general public. U even mislead d govenor !what a shame .
Do the Nigeria police even know how to investigate are they even train ?

Hmm, a wait-and-see approach is better. Let's consider the evidence from both sides. No need to jump to conclusions till we get a rebuttal from the security agencies.

989900:

What's your definition of tiny?

I have no idea why this distinction is important to you. But since you asked: numerous meteorites large enough to cause large-scale destruction have been recorded in history, including at least one that wiped out almost all life on the planet. So, "tiny" in this context is any meteorite whose impact is either insignificant, or confined to a very small geographical area.

Happy?

Edit: note this well about the conversation you are jumping into: we're talking about panic caused by sensational headlines, and not the panic caused by the strike itself.

AbujaBlue:
A proper academic does not rely on google search.

Oh yes, we very do. Ever heard of Google Scholar?

Just because a prof says something does not mean he is right - science is full of disagreements.

Agreed. Respectful disagreement based on evidence.

And you already discredited him.

I didn't. Show me where.

What riled me was not the prof, but the sensationalist headline designed to stoke up unnecessary panic.... 'ARE WE SAFE? FIRST OCCURRENCE IN NIGERIA? HOW DANGEROUS?' sml...

I hate sensationalism too, but I can't see why a tiny meteorite strike would cause panic?

AbujaBlue:
What is this nonsense? Meteorites almost always burn up as soon as they reach the earth's atmosphere. If they don't then it would be a hell of a bigger impact than that. What does he take us for?

He probably takes us for people who need to do some Google searches before flaring up .
Craters of different sizes are possible. Nonsense? Hardly. Why do you non-experts find it so easy to reject expert opinion? The only problem is the fact that his theory flies in the face of what the policemen (dunno if they were eye-witnesses) said. Otherwise, his analysis checks out.

chinavs9ja:

I lived in Akure, there was lightning in the sky before we heard the sound of an explosion.

Could have been the initial explosion as the meteorite ignited on entering the atmosphere...just thinking o, no attachment to any particular theory.

27Pushing30:


If it’s a METEOR it should be VISIBLE

Nope. Meteorites disintegrate on impact.

It looked like a meteorite strike to me at first glance, but I chilled when the police and the freaking governor said explosives were involved. Well, The prof must have some balls for sticking with his meteorite story even after the governor sided with the explosives story. This should be interesting.

ignis:
I am a geologist but I disagree with the prof on this.

This is how people mislead others: flaunt big titles but nothing of substance. Predictably, the gullible ones are dashing you likes.

He has made his case. It isn't good enough to say you disagree; any clown can do that. Provide your rationale for disagreeing with him. Then, we can determine if indeed you are a geologist, or a "geologist".

Why don't you stop with the bullshit? The prophesy did not come to pass; why trying so hard to manipulate facts to claim that it did?!
Do you know how long it takes for a vaccine to go from trial to general clinical use? You guys are just scanning the Internet for press releases to defend the indefensible.

Abeg, go do something else joo. If you want to be deluded, stay deluded, but leave us alone.

AGAIN TB JOSHUA PROPHESY CAME TO PASS AS OXFORD UNIVERSITY DISCOVERS COVID-19 VACCINE.

One of the leading Nigerian Prophet, TB Joshua was ‘trending’ on Twitter throughout Friday 27th March 2020 as citizens debated the veracity of his prophecy regarding the impending end of the deadly coronavirus.

A video from Sunday 1st March 2020, in which Joshua is seen declaring March 27th 2020 would signal the end of coronavirus was widely shared online, stirring controversy and heated discussions.

In a broadcast released today on Emmanuel TV, the cleric again insisted the “coronavirus is fading away” before encouraging viewers to hold fast to their faith.

Merely hours later, a team of experts from the prestigious University of Oxford in United Kingdom announced that they had discovered a vaccine for the deadly virus and would begin human testing on volunteers in the coming days.

Despite the scepticism expressed by online commentators, other significant events around the world throughout the course of Friday suggest that Joshua’s words indeed carried weight.

On the cusp of a medical breakthrough, the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced that the first patients enrolled in its ‘Solidarity Trial’, which will officially examine potential treatment options for Covid-19.

“This is a historic trial which will dramatically cut the time needed to generate robust evidence about what drugs work,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

In addition, statistics showed that the rate of the virus’ spread in Italy has started to steadily diminish, with more than 900 declared recovered on Friday alone – sparking celebration from health officials in the stricken country.

Furthermore, Spain – one of the hardest hit nations in Europe – declared the virus was past its peak and expected cases to begin reducing.

For more than one week, there have been no new declared cases of the disease in Wuhan, China – the epicentre of the outbreak – leading to Chinese officials reopening most of Hubei province with life returning to virtual normalcy.

A Chinese citizen released a video showing an outpouring of rain in Wuhan, in which he can be heard testifying that TB Joshua had declared rain would fall in the city as a sign the disease was being ‘wiped away’.

In Uganda, over 100 of those suspected to have been infected were confirmed to be negative after testing, leading to jubilation from the country’s health minister.

Joshua’s followers have held fast to their conviction that the “noise” of the disease had indeed been silenced according to the cleric’s declaration and the end was in sight for the sickness that resulted in an almost global lockdown.

“Let us take control of our situation instead of being afraid, for satan, the cause of crises, has been defeated,” the popular cleric declared during the interactive broadcast subsequently uploaded to YouTube.

“Don’t listen to the panic of the moment. Warfare is necessary for our victory,” he insisted.
