The idiotic foool that created this thread should've first of all mention one sector of these cesspit that is working or being properly managed/mentain by the federal government . Before comndeming those who see this move by the present fg as chasing shadow and white elephant project.

A goverment that cant fix and mantain an ordinary road. A goverment that power generation and distribution is a rocket science to?

An admninistration of more than 3years that is yet to fix nor equip any of the federal hospitals which happened to be one of their cardinal canpaign promises, to end medical tourism abroad. Want to float and mentain an air line?......U are a joke just like ur beloved ssshithole of a country.

Assuming all this is true - which it isn't - How does praying for the national airline to FAIL help the situation?

Bear in mind that what you mentioned here is a picnic compared to Ethiopia's experiences during the formation/development of her national airline.

Dtribeless:
A country does not need an airline, you idiot. America, France, UK and Germany have no national airline, you doofus.

British Airways was established as a national airline, and later privatised, but is still the national flag carrier.

Of course a country does not HAVE to have a national airline. That doesn't mean it shouldn't, especially when it is a developing nation long reliant on a single source of income, and needing desperately to expand its resource base, boost the economy, and create employment. Do you realise that the national airline will employ thousands of people, and indirectly, hundreds of thousands, if not millions? Go and read about what Ethiopian Airliines has done for the Ethioipian economy. They could have easily said ''We don't need a national airline because USA and France don't have one''.

Donald95:
Ethiopia is a country that wants to move forward not Nigeria.

Even if this government party establishes it, when opposition finally wins, they will like to tarnish the other party image by destroying most of their achievements Nigeria is not ready yet.

I stand with Oby

By your own words you crucify yourself. YOU do not want Nigeria to move forward, and are projecting your negativity onto a hypothetical ''opposition party''. You are ''with Oby'' because you are a disgrace to humanity. Why don't you emigrate since you are useless and worthless to our country?

Donald95:
For your mind,do you think you are sensible ?

Common Refinery, Economy, Security he couldn't manage why then will he waste money on things he can't manage.

Ethiopian Airlines was developed and nurtured AT THE VERY SAME TIME that country was enduring starvation, drought, war, terrorism, and underdevelopment. Look at Ethiopian Airlines today. They can stand side by side with any airline in the world, incliuding British Airways, Lufthansa, Swissair, Air France, Emirates, among others.

Why? They believed in themselves, despite all impediments.

Lesson: You never ever underestimate your capabilities, or curtail your ambitions as a nation and as a people, based on current or past circumstances.

luvmijeje:
Your insult is too much. I've to force to myself to read through your insult. I tire for you. Half of the post is full of insult, the other half is at least sensible.

Oby didn't tell us why she think it's a waste but for someone of her station, she should be able to communicate with less saltiness.

I'm tired of being polite to people who reason like animals.

How can you be wishing and praying for your own country to fail?

Is Buhari Nigeria? If because you hate Buhari you don't want anything he does to impact positively on the lives of Nigerians, then it means you are in it for yourself. You don't actually love Nigerians. You love yourself, and your own personal principles/ideology.

That makes you selfish, and unworthy of polite consideration.

IF YOU DO THIS, YOU ARE MAD, AND YOU ARE A SICK FOOL.

AND THOSE NL FOLKS TYPING GARBAGE IN SUPPORT OF YOUR LUNACY ARE A DISGRACE.

ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES TODAY IS BRINGING IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO THE ETHIOPIAN ECONOMY. IT IS A LARGE CONTRIBUTOR TO THEIR ECONOMIC RESURGENCE, BOOSTING TRADE, INVESTMENT, AND TOURISM IN THAT COUNTRY.

THE NIGERIANS HERE TALKING ABOUT ''provide basic amenities first'' NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE LESS RELIANT THE NATION IS ON OIL, THROUGH FOR INSTANCE A STRONG AVIATION SECTOR CHARACTERISED BY LOWER COST TRAVEL PROVIDED BY A NATIONAL CARRIER, THE BETTER IT WILL BE FOR THE ENTIRE ECONOMY.

INSTEAD OF USING YOUR BRAINS, YOU DECIDE TO SPIT ON EFFORTS BEING MADE TO IMPROVE YOUR OWN COUNTRY. YOU ARE A DISGRACE.

ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES IS TODAY THE PRIDE OF ALL AFRICA. IT IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S TOP AIRLINES.

ETHIOPIA DID NOT WAIT TO BE ABLE TO ''provide basic amenities'' FOR ALL ITS CITIZENS BEFORE ESTABLISHING THAT AIRLINE. THEY SAW THE AIRLINE AS A MEANS OF BUILDING THEIR ECONOMY SO THAT IT COULD ''provide basic amenities''.

BUT ALL NIGERIANS WANT TO DO IS SIT DOWN, DO NOTHING, AND EXPECT THE ''OIL MONEY'' TO ANSWER ALL THEIR DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMS, EVEN THOUGH BASIC RESEARCH SHOWS THE OIL INCOME IS NOWHERE NEAR SUFFICIENT TO DO THIS, FOR A COUNTRY OF 200 MILLION PEOPLE, AND THAT OTHER SOURCES OF INVESTMENT AND INCOME ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED.

BUNCH OF HOPELESS, PERENNIALLY DISGRUNTLED PEOPLE.

YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE A NATIONAL AIRLINE TO BE HONEST..... GO BACK TO CHANCHANGI AIRLINES AND DANA AIR, AND RECEIVING INSULTS FROM FOREIGN AIR HOSTESSES ON A DAILY BASIS.

I SUSPECT YOU ACTUALLY PREFER THIS, BEING SADO-MASOCHISTS.

SHUT UP AND USE YOUR BRAIN.

Qatar produces/exports as much oil as Nigeria per annum, but its population is only 2.5 million.

HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT NIGERIA, with 200 million citizens to feed, clothe, and house, to be able to afford such highly luxurious stadiums, each costing billions of dollars?

SO IF NIGERIA TODAY decides to allocate say, 10 billion dollars to build stadiums around the country, you will support it? MUMU PEOPLE.

I believe the earth is FLAT. Please forget all those nonsense theories of Circumnavigation, apparent sun rise and setting, why ships disappear? ... Simple experiment, get a Camera with high Resolution lens. Go to a sea port, take a snapshot of a vessel leaving the banks, when it disappears on the horizon. Do me a favour and zoom in , you will find the vessel. Depending on your lens Rez output, you should be able to get a close up of the vessel afar!


What are we trying to prove?
PERSPECTIVE is the major player in this game!
Ancient history has it that the earth was flat and the earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around US.

I Believe the Earth is FLAT, what I don't know for sure is why they LIED about it

I think it was in order to discourage genuine beiief in the Creator. Claiming the earth was just one of billions of 'planets' floating out in 'space' effectively makes us insignificant. The 'powers that rule the earth' apparently saw it as being in their interest for us to see ourselves that way, and disconnect us from the Creator. They then created mainstream religions which merely propagate belief in God, as opposed to knowing...

Olu317:
On Yoruba tradition, mentioned the division of the earth in four edges of the world, with their understanding of the world.

Their ''understanding of the world'' is accurate. Just like their forbears who wrote the old testament.

“After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.” (Revelation 7:1)

“the four quarters of the Earth” (Isaiah 11:12)

In addition, modern Flat Earth theory suggests that there are INDEED ''four corners'' to the circular earth made up of ice, that forms a protective barrier to the earth.

https://farm4.static.flickr.com/3001/5731497910_26e83e4f2e_b.jpg

''Prof. Ferguson states .. that there are “four hundred passages in the Bible that condemn the Globe Theory, or the Flying Earth, and none sustain it. This map is the Bible Map of the world.” His map shows the Earth to be a flat, square disk that, judging by this less than perfect image, has a circular concavity almost touching the edges, out of the middle of which emerges a convexity with the North Pole at its (and the map’s) perfect centre.''

Are you afraid to board Arik, or is that not a Nigerian airline? Dunce.

Useless people.. Na now them de wake uo while their mates dem de 2 million lights years ahead ... mtcheeewwwwwww.. Nigeria Air.. them for call am AIR NIGERIA

Which mates? Just shut your ignorant lips. Name the USA's 'national airline'?

Answer: NONE.

A country does NOT have to have a national carrier insofar as it has private airlines that can do the job as well, or better. Nigeria has several privately owned airlines that function pretty well and travel all over the place. If you don't know, go and learn.

Olu317:
It is extremely funny because the op seem lost in comparative analysis of the biblical interpretation, science and tradition .Perhaps, a neophyte with a wild imagination of composition of the Planet Earth.

Have you evern seen a route map of a plane ?

For instance, a typical Boeing 747 burns over 10 tonnes of fuel every hour and much more when it is climbing up to altitude. That equates to about 4 litres per second. So you would think that they would FLY IN PERFECT STRAIGHT LINE FROM THE DEPARTURE AIRPORT to the DESTINATION AIRPORT IN ORDER to minimise fuel burn. But if you have ever looked at one of the MAP DISPLAY ON BOARD you may have seen that the ROUTE is not STRAIGHT . One of the reason, plane don't fly straight is:

Route networks:-
Aircraft used to fly by reference to ground features – rivers, roads, railways, or coastlines. With the advent of radio beacons, aircraft then flew between these beacons and a system of ‘highways in the sky’ was developed. Even though most aircraft can now navigate remarkably accurately without having to track between radio beacons, this route network persists, even though most of the ‘waypoints’ – the nodes of the route network – are not associated with physical beacons.

Aeroplanes don't fly straight in whatsoever way which is unexplainable to man for now but with some claimed reasons,which I mentioned one .... If you are doubtful,google it or visit any plane control centers to verify. Screenshot to show as an example is attached.

This a very deceptive drawing. A plane reaches its altitude within a few minutes of take off and remains constant throughout the flight until it approaches its destination.

OMANBALA1:
Moreover, I hate any business dealings with Chinese people. Those people doesn't mean well for Africa. They come to deceive, steal and destroy. Africans need to open their eyes, Chinese hate black people 1 million times more than whites. They will bring nothing but destruction to us.

Shut the fck up. The whites that ruled you for seventy years, what did they do? The Chinese have built more in the last ten years than the British did in their entire seventy years here.

The whites loved you so much that they took three large ethnic groups with different cultures and religions and forced them into one country simply for their economic benefit, and for which you have been suffering wars, conflicts, and disunity ever since. And yet you think the whites love you? Some of you are just dumb.

LastDays777:
Olu Olu. You forgot to put where you copied it from

http://www.eurocontrol.int/news/why-aircraft-dont-always-fly-straight-lines

Of course there is an explanation to everything including lies.

One pilot once said they don't calculate any curvature when flying. Why?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwZXMVqbfGc

This is how they indoctrinate us with evolution in school, we believe it and don't question everything.

Exactly. They always use these long, convoluted explanations to try to explain the impossible. Any honest pilot you ask will tell you straight away that they ALWAYS fly at a constant altitude when flying from point a to point b. This guy is using an image of a plane lifting off and then later descending at the end of the flight to show that planes 'do not' fly straight, and is hoping we are too stupid to see his trick.

Olu317:
Oh k twisting teacher, I can say see your knowledge. Distort simple English at your own peril. I have said it as written in the Bible and It does not concern me if you go ahead and rephrase it to sooth your ego. All writers of Bible said the same thing about hanging on nothing ,which simply mean ‘suspended on air without any support in whatsoever ', but here you are using your own rhetoric interpretation. So, in your wildest dream, the earth will be inside the ‘vast ocean?' I mock you.


Quote me again at your own detriment.

Dude, you know NOTHING about Yoruba ancient beliefs. Colonialism has distorted your understanding. They believed the earth was FLAT. If you don't know, go and ask your elders. It's not about coming here to form Mr Knowledge. Small boy. ''Hanging the Earth upon nothing'' does NOT mean ''suspended in the air''. Stop using modern western interpretation of phenomena to form your ideas.

Tell me. Why does a plane fly STRAIGHT and FLAT no matter how far it goes?

Why does it not constantly dip its nose downward to avoid veering off into ''space''?

Why does it maintain a constant altitude THROUGHOUT its flight?

Can you use your brain to think, leave ancient beliefs aside?

iRepNaija1:
Ya'll don't know what the fúck you're talking about. He said he would visit Nigeria on the condition that Goodluck would ensure electricity for the whole country. That obviously didn't happen and Obama didn't come. Trump has never been here and called Nigeria a shîthole. But go ahead and waste your time being angry with Obama when it's 2018 and we still don't have steady light.

Trump NEVER called Nigeria a 'shithole', you lying dickhead. He referred to 'African countries in general' by that term in a private cabinet meeting.

Olu317:
Knowledge you seek,but wisdom you will find in Yoruba's cosmology.

The Bible says‘,he stretcheth the north on empty space ,and hangeth the earth on nothing'. This is not about probability or assumption but affirming to the strength of God,according to the Bible.
Likewise Yoruba cosmology acknowledged that the earth is pictured as being round–spherical and not flat,as you seem to think of it out of your imagination.Perhaps, you meant some of the ancient Caucasians thought so ,according to their account. In fact, Greek myth claimed the earth was suspended by one of their gods known as Atlas with his hands on his shoulder after he lost one of the war to Zeus . In Yoruba land, there is a tradition of worshiping Èlèdumarè(God),that involves the use of Éfún or èerù, to form a circle,(which symbolise eternity) in an open field with other ritual offering like obi(kolanut), adiyé/adié funfun (white cockrel ) to pray to God for the Ooni/other Kings and their people.

It is YOU who lacks understanding. That something is described as being round or a 'circle' does NOT mean it is a sphere. A flat disc can be round and circular. ''Stretching the north on empty space'' as quoted in the book of Job, means the north within the earth land/atmosphere and within the empty space created by the dome which covers the earth, and separates it from the waters above it.

''Hanging the earth upon nothing'' does not imply the earth is in ''outer space''. It could be in the middle of a vast ocean, and thus is ''hanging on nothing''.

Job 37:18 says: ''Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a cast metal mirror?' - referring to the dome.

Even the moon and the sun are flat discs, according to new research, and are nowhere near as far away from Earth as is claimed by mainstream science.

https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/898244/supermoon-2018-nasa-lie-flat-moon-proof-flat-earth-theory

Stop being ridiculous. A calabash is not covered by another calabash in its default state as a calabash.

lovelygurl:
Hahahaha

What's so funny?

OlaoChi:
bi osupa l'aye. The earth is like the moon. Igba la fin soju aye. Igba ntokasi aye. the calabash is a representation of the earth

Yoruba tradition is clear, the earth is spherical

If the calabash is representative of the earth how does that mean ''spherical''? Is a calabash a sphere? Nope. A calabash is EXACTLY what a flat earth covered by a dome, or firmament, looks like.

...........................[img]https://flatearthscienceandbible.files./2016/03/img_0039-6.jpg[/img]

Outside the dome is water. That is what the bible means by ''separating the waters from the waters''. If the earth was a sphere sitting in 'outer space', that statement would make no sense.

Also, there is no evidence that the moon is a sphere. That something looks round from a distance does not mean it is a sphere or globe. It could be a flat, round disc.

Pretty sad how Yoruba religion is practiced more fervently in Brazil than in Yorubaland. Here, peole are even ashamed to be associated with it. Most consider it 'heathen'. The tragic effects of colonial rule.

paramakina202:
I gave you link and you are here talking trash.
Provide one link to back up your foolishness.

And why are you not speaking Hebrew language as a Hebrew as you claim.

If Igbos migrated say two thousand years ago from Israel, the language they speak today will be a mixture of their ancient tongue and that of their more recent neighbours etc. If you DO examine the modern Igbo language, what you WILL find are many words that mean the same thing in Igbo and Hebrew.

Read this research by a scholar:

Linguistic Similarities - Igbo and Hebrew

And while my comparison of Igbo and Hebrew is still in infancy I must reveal that I have observed that both languages share quite an uncommon resemblance; from idiomatic expressions, to similar words having similar meanings in both, etc. An Igbo who compared Igbo and Hebrew as part of her graduate work reached the conclusion that both languages are genetically related. Below is part of the work that I have started to do in the studying of both languages:

It is interesting that the Igbo word for house or home is be, and the Hebrew word for house is bes or beth. That an Igbo type of light is urimmu, and six of the lights on the breast-plate of the Israelite chief priest is urim. That the meaning of Israel’s Name for God in Hebrew Yawe, is ‘I am’, and in Igbo Yawu means ‘He is’.

That wine in Hebrew is yayin and mmanya in Igbo.

Abraham to the Igbo is Abiama. We must admit that Abraham and Abiama are close in spelling and pronunciation. The Creator of the universe to the Igbos is Chukwu Abiama (Great God of Abraham). Omenana is the phrase for the Igbos religion and culture, and Emuna is the Hebrew word for faith.

And adam (Hebrew) and madu (Igbo) both mean man (humans).

G.T. Basden devoted a large portion of his work to a comparison of Igbo and Israelite traditions, and he started the comparison thus:
‘There are one or two peculiarities of idiom in Ibo similar to some found in Hebrew. The chief parallel is found in the repetition of words to express a single idea and, perhaps to add emphasis. The practice of reduplicating verbs or adding their cognate nouns is characteristic of Ibo - e.g. ‘O galu aga’ = he passed; ‘o jelu ije’ = he went. As a rule, the addition makes little or no appreciable difference to the meaning. There are many verbs which are rarely used without reduplication or with their derived noun either attached or in close proximity, e.g., we have such terms as “murmur a murmur” = “o natamu atamu”, or, as we have in the litany, “those who have erred”= “ndi jefielu ejefie”, and “those who are deceived” = “ndi alaputalu alaputa.”

My exploratory work on the idioms, expressions, usages, etc, is set out hereafter.
Moses’ call on ‘heaven and earth’ to be his witness that he gave Israel sufficient warning to stay away from idolatry and evil made profound impact on me the first time I read it scholastically (in Deuteronomy 4:26), because it is our (Igbo) fashion when we want to really lay emphasis on a matter in discussion. When the Igbo man says ‘enu igwe na ana nukwa onu m’ (‘may heaven and earth hear my voice’) he is really serious, and does not want to play with the matter that made him to utter those words. An Igbo writer; S.C. Onwuka mentioned that Igbos call upon ‘heaven and earth to witness’ while they are praying.6 I submit that it is not just coincidental that both languages have such an identical expression, and use it in similar circumstances.

Also Dr. J. H. Hertz, a Jewish scholar; had while explaining the nuance in Numbers 14:22, “these ten times” stated that it could stand for a ‘large number of times’. He further explained it to mean: “They had now filled up the measure of their iniquities, and punishment must inevitably come upon them.”7 Dr. Hertz used expressions very close to the Igbo idiom—‘iko ya ejuna’, which means that he has exhausted all his chances, but which can be translated literally to mean ‘his cup or measure is filled up.’ Igbos use this phrase or idiom when an evil doer gets caught and is awaiting punishment. From Hertz’s explanation it is easy to see that the same idea lies behind both the Igbo usage of the expression, and the Israelite usage, as explained by Hertz.

Hertz also explains, ‘for they are bread for us’ which is in Numbers 14:9 as meaning that:
‘We shall easily destroy them.’
His explanation is very similar to an Igbo expression nni nracha ka ha wu which literally means (‘they are easy food’), which if employed during a quarrel or fight signifies that the opponent can be defeated easily.
Also very interesting is the nearness of words that Jacob and his sons deployed when they were talking about Joseph’s supposed loss, to a wild beast, to the words that Igbos would have used in similar circumstances.

The sons reported that an ‘evil beast’ might have devoured their brother. Jacob also referred to the beast as an ‘evil beast.’ Genesis 37:35.9 Ordinarily a beast is either a wild one or a domestic one. But I understand what Jacob and his sons said and why because as an Igbo I know that Igbos will refer to a ferocious or wild beast as ajo anu (evil beast), even though the beast could have equally been tagged anu ofia (wild beast) by the Igbos.

One comes across the phrase ‘the anger of the Lord was kindled’,—Numbers 12:9, ‘My wrath shall wax hot’,-Exodus 22:23. If the phrases are translated into Igbo language we will have iwe oku which means hot anger.
The Igbos call their anger iwe oku (hot anger) when they are very angry. As I was pointing out in the section that dealt with “evil beast,” is anger supposed to be “hot” or cold? Applying such adjectives in certain cases makes sense to me only when I consider that every language has its own idioms and characteristics.

I will make a preliminary conclusion of this section with the words of Basden: “The language (Igbo) also bears several interesting parallels with the Hebrew idiom.”10
But before making my final comment on this subject which I am just beginning to look at I want to bring up more strikingly similar Igbo and Hebrew words which have identical or near meanings.
It is not mere coincidence that makes may- im- hayy-iym “waters of life, living waters,” in Hebrew similar to iyi which is “stream, river” in Igbo language.

Also the belt that was part of the Israelite priest’s garment—the ephod or ‘efowd', which is comparable with the Igbo word mfiedo = girdle or belt.

In addition the Hebrew nasas /nasah which are “be clear, be pure /shinning”, can be related to the Igbo nso and which can be used for holiness. Aso can also be used for holiness, and in Igbo thought what is nso or aso (holy) is pure.

And I also observed that many Igbo words like unyahu, ebe ahu, and nke ahu (yesterday, that place, and that thing) definitely excites one to think of Hebrew names like Eliyahu, Netanyahu, Yeshayahu, etc., because of the ahu endings. It also occurred to me that Igbos would include an u when pronouncing a name like John giving out something like Johnu. I was moved by the following prayer: Barukh atah Adonai….shehekhyanu vekiymanu vehigianu lazman hazeh, because of the nu endings. I find it my favorite prayer in Hebrew. Researchers would find this area very interesting to explore I predict.
As I am only beginning an exploration of this section I will not go too far. I will not make definitive assertions on the relationship between the Igbo and Hebrew languages at this stage. However I must say that my observation is that the Igbo spoken fifty years ago was not very dissimilar in aspects like sound, pronunciation, etc, with ancient Ivrit. Shortly I will resume a comparison of both languages with Avraham Phil van Riper; an American Jewish scholar.

Kaziar:
I will have to agree with you. A lot of people are actually ignorant of what industrialization entails. Most of the nations we admire today are where they are because of decades of activism,centuries in some cases. Sometimes, I'm of the opinion (though unpopular), that, we simply demand more than what the nation can offer at this stage which in essence leads to more angst and frustration.

At last, an insightful contributor. Nigerians have lost track of the meaning of life. Life is about contributing to whatever society you find yourself in. Not complaining constantly about it and ridiculing it. In Victorian England, poverty was the norm. The masses reacted by forming charity groups that built 'soup kitchens' for the poorest, and houses to shelter the homeless. This was while the elite were living in serious luxury. Today, those private charities still exist, helping the less fortunate. In Nigeria we see kids of 10 hawking on the street. Why can't we help to make their lives better? We don't need to wait for the Government. BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE.

gidgiddy:
Proud to be a Nigerian? What is there to be proud of? What I want is for my Igbo nation to be an independent country so we can start afresh to build a country worth being proud of.

Nigeria is a disaster, had Lugard not included Igbos in Nigeria, Igbos would have gone very far by now

You have no common sense. Look around you at other small African nations - Liberia, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Togo, Benin Republic, South Sudan, etc. You think you are better than them? They are small countries, with very few ethnic issues. Why are they not all like Japan? Get this. You are actually stronger, with more potential, being a part of Nigeria, with its 200 million strong consumer market. On your own, you would, like the aforementioned countries, be very vulnerable to warlords, western power influence, economic sabotage, lack of market access, anonymity, dependence, and irrelevance. Stop thinking there is anything special about Igbos. They were enslaved and conquered by foreigners just like other West African groups. In today's Africa, there is strength in numbers, which is why the biggest countries here are showing the most potential and capacity to excel, countries like Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Nigeria etc. Nigeria is projected to become the third most populous nation on earth after China and India by 2050. Direct access to that huge market could make the entrepreneurial, innovative Igbos the richest black group on the face of the earth. You want to forego all this because of a few illiterate Fulani herdsmen. Mumu. Don't think, you hear?
