The theory makes sense. I might add too that 'Linear Time' is a feature of that simulation. In the real world outside the simulation, there is no 'before' and 'after'. Everything is occurring at the same 'time', or what some writer termed ''the Eternal Now''. That explains the bible verse that says 'a thousand years is like a day to God'. 2 Likes |

What the East needs is to build its current cities INTO world class cities. No need to start a new city from scratch. Take Enugu for instance. They only build up the major roads, largely ignoring side roads and inner city roads. Even when they do remember those sections, the roads are substandard. No sidewalks, no markings or streetlights. Open gutters. Why not deal with that and raise the standards of those cities rather than building brand new cities? So they need to solve all those issues in Enugu, Owerri, Aba and other cities there. Same as cities around the country by the way, except Abuja. 1 Like |

It was only in the late 17th century, at the height of the slave trade, that images of Jesus and Mary began to be lightened across Europe and America, until they finally turned 'white'. That is why Nigerians today worship this white man as their 'Lord and Saviour': ![]() 2 Likes |

''The first century Jewish writer Josephus (37-100 AD) penned the earliest non-biblical testimony of Jesus. He reportedly had access to official Roman records on which he based his information and in his work Halosis or the “Capture (of Jerusalem),” written around 72 A.D., Josephus discussed “the human form of Jesus and his wonderful works.” Unfortunately his texts have passed through Christian hands which altered them, removing offensive material. Fortunately, however, Biblical scholar Robert Eisler in a classic 1931 study of Josephus’ Testimony was able to reconstruct the unaltered testimony based on a newly-discovered Old Russian translation that preserved the original Greek text. According to Eisler’s reconstruction, the oldest non-Biblical description of Jesus read as follows: “At that time also there appeared a certain man of magic power … if it be meet to call him a man, [whose name is Jesus], whom [certain] Greeks call a son of [a] God, but his disciples [call] the true prophet … he was a man of simple appearance, mature age, black-skinned (melagchrous), short growth, three cubits tall, hunchbacked, prognathous (lit. ‘with a long face’ [macroprosopos]), a long nose, eyebrows meeting above the nose … with scanty [curly] hair, but having a line in the middle of the head after the fashion of the Nazaraeans, with an undeveloped beard.” This short, black-skinned, mature, hunchbacked Jesus with a unibrow, short curly hair and undeveloped beard bears no resemblance to the Jesus Christ taken for granted today by most of the Christian world: the tall, long haired, long bearded, white-skinned and blue eyed Son of God. Yet, this earliest textual record matches well the earliest iconographic evidence. The earliest visual depiction of Jesus is a painting found in 1921 on a wall of the baptismal chamber of the house-church at Dura Europos, Syria and dated around 235 A.D. The Jesus that is “Healing the Paralytic Man” (Mark 2:1-12) is short and dark-skinned with a small curly afro. This description has now been supported by the new science of forensic anthropology. In 2002 British forensic scientists and Israeli archaeologists reconstructed what they believe is the most accurate image of Jesus based off of data obtained from the multi-disciplinary approach. In December 2002 Popular Science Magazine published a cover story on the findings which confirm that Jesus would have been short, around 5”1’, hair “short with tight curls,” a weather-beaten face “which would have made him appear older,” dark eyes and complexion: “he probably looked a great deal more like a dark-skinned Semite than Westerners are used to seeing,” they concluded. The textual, visual, and scientific evidence agrees, then: Jesus likely was a short, dark-skinned Semite with short curly hair and dark eyes. Colossians 1:15 describes Christ as the “image of the unseen God” and in the Gospel of John (12:45; 14:9) Jesus declares that whoever sees him has seen God. What Jesus “looks like” then is not irrelevant as it is in some way a pointer to God Himself.'' https://destee.com/threads/hebrew-israelite-origins.87407/ 1 Like |

Nigeria's Returning President Has A Chance To make Amends The editorial board, Financial Times Nigeria’s recent election produced a winner, but victory for incumbent Muhammadu Buhari has generated little enthusiasm in a country performing far below its potential. The poll in Africa’s most populous country was marred by a week-long delay, sporadic violence in which dozens died and allegations of vote-rigging. What was supposed to have been the largest election in Africa’s history — with 84m registered voters — turned out not to be because of a dispiritingly low turnout of 35 per cent. The result is being challenged as a “sham” by the loser, Atiku Abubakar, in a dispute that is likely to rumble on in the courts for months. The Nigerian people deserve better than this. Democracy has to mean more than a poorly run election every four years. With his renewed mandate, it is now Mr Buhari’s task to rebuild faith by running a dynamic and successful administration and by building the institutions that can lay firmer foundations than in his previous term. The omens from his first four years in office are not good. During that time, the former military leader ran a lacklustre administration with no obvious sense of direction. There was no coherent economic strategy of the sort being attempted by the likes of Ethiopia, Rwanda or west African neighbours Ghana and Senegal to produce the rapid growth needed to haul tens of millions of people out of poverty. It is an indictment of its leadership — both military and democratic — that the continent’s biggest oil producer should have more people living in absolute poverty than any other country in the world. Mr Buhari’s priority this time must be to set out a coherent agenda, implemented by technocrats rather than ideologues, to turn things round. Nigeria desperately needs to create a level playing field for business in which access to foreign currency, permits and other requirements is both predictable and rational. His much vaunted crackdown on corruption must go beyond taking action against a few minor officials. Some big scalps would help. More important still is to implement systematic changes — whether by reforming institutions, using technology or by removing arbitrage opportunities — to create a more transparent environment. People should prosper in Nigeria based on what they know and how much value and employment they can create, not by their connections. On security, Mr Buhari’s first term was also less than successful in spite of repeated declarations of victory over Boko Haram. There is credible evidence of a renewed threat in the north-east in the form of a breakaway Islamist group. Nigeria’s army remains ill-equipped, both literally and institutionally, to take on such a challenge. Too often, its armed forces — which have committed human rights abuses of their own — have been part of the problem rather than the solution. There has been some success in taming insurgency in the oil-rich Delta region, where real grievances about economic exclusion have bubbled over into sabotage of oil installations. But Mr Buhari must do more to offer lasting solutions to the violent clashes between pastoralists and sedentary farmers that have erupted in the country’s central belt and beyond. Nigeria should be Africa’s economic motor. Too often it looks more like a country teetering on the edge. In his second presidential term, Mr Buhari has a chance to silence his critics. With decent policies and effective implementation, he can stop the rot and lay the basis for a better future. If he can do that, he can yet salvage his reputation. If not, he will go down in history as a general who should have stayed in his barracks. https://www.ft.com/content/568682b6-401e-11e9-9bee-efab61506f44 |

Don't forget the high likelihood that some people inserted these cruel verses into the bible in the past in order to enhance their own power, and then claim God was the 'originator' of them. |

erico2k2: You do NOT need 15 million naira to start making toothpicks. You can start with under 2 million naira in your backyard if you have a working brain and are serious with yourself. |

By right the govt should not even be involved in setting up a toothpick factory, if not for LAZY, IMPORT-ORIENTED NIGERIANS, too full of inferiority complex to manufacture anything on their own at home. Go to China. Most of what we import from there are made in mom-and-pop 'factories' in residential backyards of ordinary people. Handbags, shoes, toys, and yes, toothpicks. In Nigeria, nobody wants to manufacture anything unless they have millions of dollars to start a huge factory. That's why govt has to stoop low to get involved in low-intensity manufacturing involving toothpicks. |

Has Al Jazeera EVER had anything positive to report about Nigeria? This station is in a region filled with disastrous nations like Syria, Iraq, Yemen, etc, where people are dying like flies, yet they hardly report their issues with the amount of zeal and venom they reserve for Nigeria. I suggest we ignore them. They're worthless. Spit. |

Babalegba: Abeg make we hear word. Oil prices crashed in 1982, and we entered a recession. The military took advantage of popular discontent and seized power. Finish. Back then the generals were extremely greedy and undisciplined, and used any excuse to seize power in a coup. 3 Likes |
