that's quite rude to believers.... Learn to respect everyone's choice.

I'm also not a believer, but I would never say such.

No, you are right. It was certainly uncalled for I guess but you gotta admit~

Calling people woke for not believing in nonsense is probably the most hilarious use of the word I have heard from a theist so far. Anyway, I'm out~

Shma2023:
How do you explain your existence on Earth? Are you a creator or a creation?

Is the education you recieved in your home country not teach biology Science? If so, thats pretty concerning.

My only creators are my mother and father not your imaginary friend, bro.

What I know is that all creations have a creator.

Yep, biological creatures are created through natural sexual intercourse.

How were you conformed to walk on two legs with balance, think, have emotions and sympathy, string a sentence DIBUNKING THE EXISTANCE A SUPREME BEING

Wut?

Babies learn to walk via practice with “assisted walking” from your parents. Emotions are created by the brain, they are a product of biochemical functions connecting a situation with innate and learned schemas, which elicit a physiological response which we proceed to appraise. It is our perception of these processes that we call emotions. Inshort, emotions are chemical reactions.

Such as emotion of love, a chemical compound that compels our instinctual need to breed and pass on our genes ensuring our species survival.

Our morals do not come from your religion. If you actually took time to read whatever book you own with a open and critical mind, you would realise assuming your Christian how immoral of a god you worship. Human morals/ethics developed by society & have improved over time through millennia of trial & error. Humans act in cooperation & in groups, they tend toward higher accuracy than as individuals when deciding on actions affecting the group members. No, we didn't get it from your book, sorry. Inshort, from logic and reason.

It is not my job to prove the existence of a god(s), the one making the claim of "x" thing exist falls onto the claimant, the burden of proof is on you also bible verses are not evidence either so dont even try it.

Do you think you were on earth by a mistake or do you think Quontum science is the reason for your existence? Do you really think you came from oblion and now you're superior to all creations and now you're "GOD"? because by definition, God is the supreme and almighty reality.

Yes, Life happened by chance.

All life descends from single cell organisms that were created by several chemical compounds deep within our oceans later evolved over the span of 3 billion years to where we are today. Beautiful, is it not? There is no meaning or purpose and we certainly dont need one provided by someones imaginary friend. We create our own meaning in our lives. We only live once so make the most of it.

As for Big Bang theory. Science doesn't claim to know what happened before the Big Bang but there are multiple theories including Quantum fluctuations. Like rogue waves from a calm sea. Just a function of the system.

I could easily say who created God. Your typical religious nonsense would be "god always existed" but that is not an answer nor is it possible. Your basically just moving the problem of not answering it but he/she/it doesn't exist.

You think the universe could have order; no collusion because of the existence of science? So science in its terms is eternal? So who is feeding science with the ideas of emotions and intelligence in humans? What makes you dream or wallow in fantasy; science? Heck! Humans are great philosophers, metaphysicians, Mathematicians, programmers, and name them... Do you think all those aspects could come from nothing?

Read the above.

If science is your god then the JOKE IS ON YOU. Don't call us delusional for believing in a supreme being. Some of us used to be hard-core ANTI-BELIVERS until we got knowledge.

If you believe something without evidence then yes, you are delusional and gullible. There is no need to get bent out of shape. Also, why would I think Science is my god, lol? Its not a belief, Science is purely "the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained".

Religion is based on faith not evidence hence why its seeing a major decline in the rest of the world except for Africa where quality of education so happens to be really bad and your comment is proof of that.

If you hate Science so much, I suggest maybe throwing away your computer and while your at it, all other technology you use.

Shma2023:
UAE should be his case study. Those guys are hard-core believers. How is religion affecting development? We're not in stone age era where people could pray for everything. People work f*king hard, while going to churches and mosques. Most people believe. The mindset is what Aids development. No engineer will pray for skyscrapers to sprout out without making an effort to spend and work!

Lol, bruh.

Arab countries like Dubai, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar economies are based on oil, they are oil dependant countries. When prices go up, their people do better. America made it rich by tying the oil to the dollar and the US dollar being the only world reserve currency everyone trades in.

No Saudi will ever trade their oil in Yuan, where the hell would they even spend it? No one wants to hold Yuan so they will just convert it to dollars. Don't bother even mentioning BRICS either, the organization is a complete joke despite the propaganda you hear about it.

Brazil has gotten poorer since 2010.
Russia is collapsing under brutal US and EU sanctions.
China has a stagnant economy and a population crisis.
South Africa is a failed State.

Only India can be argued to have a bright future even that is doubtful. Not to mention the major differences and political turmoil between China and India I'm surprised that India hasn't left org yet.

Anyway, renewable energy will cause a decline in demand for traditional fossil fuels, ultimately leading to a decrease in oil prices meaning these countries are f*cked if they dont diversify their economies. Dangote Oil Refinery came late to the game when countries are in the middle of making the transfer from fossil fuels to Renewable. If Dangote is smart, he would have a plan in place to make the transition to green like many other oil companies are doing.

Saddamochieng00:
We can't move forward with people like you looking down on others simply because of their beliefs. There are a myriad of factors on why we're still undeveloped and I bet you religion is rock bottom.

Its not me looking down but the fact most African governments with misplaced priorities are either promoting or focusing on fictional stories (religion) like Ghana for example whose president blatantly lied and took the taxpayers money so Nana Akufo-Addo could build himself a national cathedral. It was so controversial that majority of Ghanaians were rightfully pissed. President NPP goons responded by calling majority of Ghanaians anti-Christian for being against the project. $65 million ($100 million amid record inflation) would of been better spent elsewhere but thats what happens when you elect a clown to manage your finance and run it into bankruptcy so expect a full on circus.

This would be apart of your "myriad of factors", a big one at that.

Also, if it wasn't obvious enough, I'm not religious. Believing in a god, you may as well believe in Jedi and the Force as well because they have as much evidence as the tooth fairy meaning none at all.

Last time I checked, my previous comments have been praising and defending Kenya.

GeneralDae:
Okay.

Before anyone gets pissy, I'm not dunking on Africa or anything as I want it to do well but if we are honest with ourselves, we are like way behind the rest of the world especially interms of technology.

Eastern and South Asia, Western Europe, and the United States of America are building AI, planning on sending scientists to Mars to setup a human colony decades after landing on the Moon, building self-driving technology, supercomputers all the while most African countries too busy believing in fairytales of invisible men in the clouds, waiting to go to a non-existent place called heaven, and hoping something as dumb as prays will fix their problems...Also, thinking its more important to prosecute the gays when there are other important matters like food security. Its a lousy sitaution most of us are in.

I believe the only country making any effort at least to send someone to space was Nigeria. They are planning to build a launch pad on African soil and to send a Nigerian to the moon by 2030 but I haven't heard of any update about that in like years other than few mini rocket tests.

GeneralDae:
Just 3 words in his inaugural speech:

Subsidy is gone.

Boom:

Ripple effects immediately.

PBAT, I campaigned for you throughout immediately Osibanjo lost the ticket. Now the real work begins.

Set up your team this June and encourage the private sector to create your cherished consumer credit system to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal. God help you and your team.

But God is just a fictional character delusional people believe in. So, there is no helping to whoever you are replying to.

rvp20182:
People underestimated China. They are very smart n hate loosing money. Dont borrow from china if you wont pay. Western nation will forgive Ghana debt as they owe Ghana for colonialism n slavery. China has no such guilty trips.

Its not that China is "smart", its that politicians in Ghana are corrupt.

It went on a spending spree with forecast from revenues from oil led to huge borrowing which has made Ghana a debt distressed country thats currently broke.

Ghana turned into another Sri Lanka via mismanagement.

ImpregnaTor:
this is probably what is going to happen by next year.

We watch

Won't surprise me considering how corrupt Nigeria is.

He did the same shit with cement industry if I remember correctly. When monopolies hurt consumers they harm the economy destabilizing and controling the market. Hurt Nigeria growth even further.

Honestly, I expected this level of incompetence from a wartorn country.

Despite $30 billion of debt mostly belonging to western private lenders while China only owns I believe around $2 ~ $3 billion of Ghana's debt, the westerners like the Paris Club aren't the ones calling their debt in. China is.

Ghana's reliance on Chinese loans for large-scale projects has put the government at risk of losing future energy sales and a portion of earnings from mineral resources. If they had defaulted, they might have lost the control of their own resources just to pay off their own debt to China. Ghana nominal GDP took a nose dive from $72 billion in 2022 down to an estimated $66 billion in 2023 and whose economic growth will not recover back to normal levels pre-pandemic until 2027 (5%) assuming nothing else goes wrong.

So, basically the country got poorer overall.

edit:

Well, its been declining since 2021.

😂🤣😂 so you're telling me your census report is fraudulent?

Anyway how about the satellite data that shows how dark Kenya is? Was that one also fraudulent. Are the satellites also against you?

You do know the map NASA posted was from 2012, right? when Kenyan access was only 38% hence why its shown mostly dark along with the rest of Africa that had a very low access to electricity at the time? Keep up with the times. Kinda like how you wouldn't trust Google Maps from a couple of years ago that was showing home images of "x" country using ancient images dating back to 2008 ~ 2011.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/09/these-3-maps-show-whats-powering-the-world

No, census is just inaccurate because like I said, not everyone participates in it. My god.

Just40:
b🤣😂🤣

My source is your Census data

You do realize not everyone fills out the Census, right?

Even then, when you said "50%" the only time that closely aligns with your argument was in 2016 when Kenyan access to electricity was 53% so nearly a decade old of data you were using for your argument. Thats pathetic. This reminds me of another argument when some dumb Americans tried arguing Ghana murder rate was higher than the US from some random website using UN crime and drugs statistics from 2007, almost 20 years ago lmfao.

Your doing the exact same which is pretty sad.

Just40:
how many of the 109,000 vehicles imported last year by Kenya was EV? Not even 0.5%
Kenyans can't even afford new cars let alone buy EV

Yes, the number of EVs out of 2 million resigstered vehicles so far is 671 but its slowly being phased out as its projected by 2040 50% of car sales will be 50%. Understandably because EVs have been getting cheaper and could match that of conventional motors as soon as 2025 or 2027. Even cheaper than petrol ones by 2030 at the latest.

Your politicians just set a 2030 target to be able to participate in the money laundering scheme.

Which so far Kenyan has been on track to reach by 2030.

https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/news-insights/kenyas-clean-energy-transition-gets-a-boost-from-solar-power/

Let's look at Kenya electricity consumption, only 50% of Kenyans have electricity and the remaining are in the dark. Geothermal can't be scaled up enough to cover them, wind and solar is too punitive to cover them so they are left in the dark

Where are you getting your sources from that only 50% of Kenyans have access to electricity? Last time I checked, as of 2020 being the least data I can find, 71% of Kenyans have access to electricity.

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS?locations=KE

Dont be pulling made up statistics from your ass.

Just40:
You'll have to be a fool to damage your economy to believe in the nonsense money drain of renewables and Germany learnt the hard way.

This is also bullshit as Canada energy so far at least being 60% clean that is mainly powered by hydro power that makes EVs possible as well as Norway mostly powered by hydro.

Just40:
The science says that even without humans, greenhouse effect will still climb after a global cooling event . So you're neither here nor there.

Thats literally what I said at the beginning.

The Earth does have a natural cycle but temperatures don't rise this quickly naturally. We rose temptures by 0.5 in just 40 years. This kind of heating would have naturally took the Earth hundreds of years if not, thousands of years, that is the point here. Then you decided to ignore the rest of what I said. Are you purposely being this disingenuous?

Also, no Kenya has been making great strives in adopting EVs as it phases out fossil fuels.

Excellent. I wish these Ghanian would be taken back to school so they can string such cogent arguments.

Kenya is doing well on energy sector - and we are starting to see some movement in EV

And Ruto has definitely seized the momentum.

A normal day around Nairobi today MUST include the sight of Electric Buses. Here are two from rival EV makers Roam(left) and BasiGO(right).
Soon, combustion engine vehicles will give in and give up and park up!

I'm not doing this as a "Haha, I gotcha moment" just dont want people falling for American right wing bullshit.

Kinda like how they say we never invented the wheel despite ancient civilisations in Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, and to an extent Tanzania despite using the wheel for stuff like pottery, water wheel, and transportation before the cave dwellers bashing each other over heads with fist sized stones even knew what a wheel was beforr it was introduced to them via middle east.

Well climate change in the sense that they are preaching it is a hoax.

This is the climate normal process of undergoing intermittent periods global warming and global freezing as scientific records from the past have shown. Are we doing lost of damage by clearing the earth of trees ? Yes we are

This is a typical climate change denier argument the right uses when they dont understand the Science.

Of course the climate is always changing. CO2 plays a large role in that change. Heres the thing though, humans are artificially altering our atmosphere by rapidly inflating and enriching it with greenhouse gases largely from burning fossil fuels. Most of the CO2 that is released into the atmosphere is aborsbed by the ocean but rising levels of CO2 means Algae in the oceans, which contribute to the photosynthesis conversion of CO2, will die off, which in turn affects other ecosystems.

As oceans grow warmer, H2O particles move around faster and are unable to store CO2 inturn create stronger hurricanes, storms, severe droughts more frequently, and melted ice caps that cause sea levels to rise.

Has Kenya cleared the fossil fuel vehicles on it roads yet? How about the planes and ships? How about the 50% of Kenyans without electricity? Has it placed a ban on it fuel import yet?

Kenya is phasing out fossil vehicles on the roads and such by 2030 which so far they are on track to do so. This should be something praise worthy that other developed nations have failed to do thus far.

No one is hitting clean energy until Nuclear fusion is perfected

Nuclear energy will never be clean especially Nuclear power plants. What do you think is used to cool down the plutonium rods to stop it from going into total meltdown and causing the surrounding area to become uninhaitable like Chernobyl for thousands of years? It is also a major security risk.

We are exceeding in other areas like Green Energy despite whole of Africa combined contributing less than 4% (3.8% to be specific) globally than the so-called progressive (lmfao) "developed" nations your cheerleading for that cause the most damage to the climate. Places like Kenya will hit 100% clean by 2030. Of course you have the usual retarded rightoids in these developed nations that genuinely believe stuff like climate change is a hoax.

DeezNutz200:
What I'm amazed is that nowhere in Africa besides one out of the 54 nations is successful and thats pretty sad.

Nigeria - Lol, nothing works there. You can bribe anyone to do anything you want.

Ghana - Bankrupt and Galamsey is destroying everything. The nation will be importing water soon.

Kenya - Heading for bankruptcy.

South Africa - Economic recession

Oh, you are all China slave boys and girls too hence its given them confidence to do anything to you with no real repercussions.

Yet many of these supposedly "shitholes" and "unsuccessful" countries are much safer than places like the US and western European countries.

Ghana has what? A murder rate of 1.84 as of 2021 according to the UN crime and drugs report and US is nearing to 7.0 out of 100,000. Even if you took out all the African Americans from the US, the white homicide rate is still 2.3 out of 100,000 so murder rate would still be higher than Ghana. Accra is basically safer than most if not all American cities.

Then you have countries like Rwanda with much lower crime rates than the UK and France etc. Its also clearly a cultural problem rather than a race problem.

Even then many African countries doing well for themselves while western economies maybe besides Germany has been stagnant.

He case is still going on in court...
Latest on galamsey is the Asantehene promising to remove all the chiefs whose town are being used to do galamsey.
He has waited on political authority to act to no avail because they are the ones engaging in it

Did it really take the Asantehene meeting King Charles III on coronation day to actually do something about galamsey in Kumasi? Better late than never I suppose but I hope at least something fruitful comes from it. Even though Asantehene is only king of the Ashanti, Kumasi, he is the most influential king as well as politically in Ghana so hopefully the others will follow suit and obviously the politcians in on it need to be swfitly dealt with and thrown in prison like the treasonous snakes they are so Nana Akufo-Addo needs to get off his ass and actually DO something.

Their queen has already been caught and currently being dealt with in court like you said.

Just40:
😂🤣

He's lost

Has there been any update about Galamsey? Are we still losing on that front because last I heard, that Galamsey chink Queen, Aisha Huang, was only convicted on immigrantion charges recently...Nevermind forgery of documentation and her actual crimes of destroying our environment. Deporting her from the country again is too lenient of a punishment because she will just sneak back in and repeat the same crimes.

Just like that Ivory Queen chink in Tanzania but she was actually jailed for 15 years.

Baddestguyp:
this Mobile Suit Gundam seems impossible to start if you aren't a fan already

It's like 40 years of content (just a guess)

People say the same thing about One Piece considering it has over like a thousand episodes now though no one recommends the Anime due to Toei Animation's mishandling especially with the god awful peacing, manga is MUCH better by far. One of the best Shonen alongside Hunter x Hunter. If you can get over the goofy artstyle of One Piece, its an amazing series with great indepth world building, emotional highnotes in every arc, character development etc.

Anyway, Gundam SEED is a great entry point for new beginners. It was literally created to get newer fans into Gundam. Also, has a lot of memorable memes lol. Whatever you do, just stay away from Seed: Destiny...One of the worst Gundam shows ever made.

Kaycee7:
Yeah. Not just for Suletta but also to protect her father and to prevent Shaddiq from taking over the Benerit group.

Speaking of Shaddiq, him and Guel Jeturk have had some of the best character development. With how Guel's character has grown, I'm really looking forward to see him square off against Miorine and Shaddiq in this presidential run.

Oh, I very much agree.

I thought at first Guel was just going to be the hatable jock that loses every fight while doing the most unhinged things. He's basically what a Gundam protagonist goes through in UC. So, there is good reason why Guel came 1st in Crunchyroll's Anime Awards top 10 best male characters of 2023.

Baddestguyp:
there is a difference between having gày characters and being woke...


You can write a good story with good characters even though they are gay and people won't complain

It is when you make characters solely for the purpose to ticking checkboxes or to push agenda that people complain
Or when you change characters identity or sexual preferences for no good reason, that it becomes woke

Uh...No.

Anything that isn't heretrosexual white cis christian male is called woke nowadays regardless if said "gay" characters platonic ideal LGBT relationship is a natural developing gay couple with no agendas attached to it. Plus, the word "woke" like "weeb" has lost all of its meaning due to the misuse and overuse from people who have no idea what it means. Now its used (mostly by the alt-right) to hate on anything they dont like.

THOUGH

I do admit that adding token characters that just end up 1-dimensional where they dont contribute anything to the story other than to show diversity like the "Best Black Friend" trope is shitty writing. Looking at you The Owl House cough Gus Porter cough

Kaycee7:
Are you up to date with the season 2?

Currently, yeah.

The moment Miorine comes to the realisation that Suletta is just her moms puppet with no will of her own and being used for her moms revenge, shes one of the more twisted Char incarnations of the Gundam series imo. Also, if you consider in the fact of what she did to Eri.

Miorine will likely run for president just to protect Suletta from her mom.

Mobile Suit Gundam - The Witch from Mercury.

Even with LGBT content in the show between Suletta and Miorine whom latter basically confessed to Suletta in episode 11 in Season 1, I can appreciate a good story when I spot one despite the gayness. Too bad the Kenyan government allowed their primitive, religious mindset to get in the way so now every show, movie or whatever with gay content gets banned which is probably like over 90% of movies and TV shows nowadays.

Lol, what a bunch of dumb fucking cunts. Kenyan pastor tells their followers to starve to death and the brainless herd they are, they do exactly as he says without question.

https://twitter.com/AfricaFactsZone/status/1650240834804105216

Honestly, if I had a IQ as low as that, then they are better off dead because they weren't ever going to contribute anything good to society with their level of intelligence other than being a burden on the Kenyan economy. Only thing they will see before they die is their life flashing before their eyes before they are buried six-foot under in the dirt never to exist again.

Kenya to launch its first ever satellite into space

Is the Kenyan satellite actually built by KENYAN engineers? Or did the chinese build and fund it for you and launched it into space using the lanuch pad in US, Texas?

Edit:

Nevermind.

It was built and developed by Kenyan engineers which is most admirable but they are using the American launch pad to send it into space, Californian Vandenberg Space Force Base. Nowhere in Africa has built a launch pad as of yet so they have to rent out other countries launch pads to send anything into space. What I find to be bullshit though is the Kenyan officials reasoning for not building the materials locally due to the cost. If they weren't so busy looting the national coffers, they could have built it locally.

Only Nigeria is still working on a launch pad. It would be the first in Africa when it finally comes to fruition.
