benbuks: 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

You are a cretinous person!

Like I said earlier the FBI is on your case and your end is near.
Useless thieving psycho.

A mentally-ill, cretinous person is talking about hope?

Okeikpu: A very beautiful continent...with a bunch of useless set of human being living in it....

Pure fucktards!

Instead of educating their minds, you will see the fcktards coming to places like NL to preoccupy themselves with "Us vs Them".

"I hate Ghana" fcktards.

"We are better than SA" cretins.

Shyt is not human waste. Most Nigerians are human waste! Shyt just smells more.

nerodenero: If Cameroun is faced with severe challenges,France is ever ready to safe them but in our case,these selfish British WILL never help Nigeria.I applaud USA's gesture and just hope they can extend their goodwill to other African countries ravaged with this disease.

Selfish?

You are a cretinous person!

Did the British tell Nigerians to be fcktards?

They owe you help?

bushdoc9919: Because you Nigerians vote in governments that do not invest in education,and scientific innovation.

The fcktards vote for fcktards that:

- award themselves N100m per year pensions.
- fcktards that their priority is to buy themselves private jets and when they crash in it, they run to Germany and do not use the local health services.
- criminals with cases in court that give them bag of rice.
- achievementless reetards with illiterate wives who is in charge of the education of kids whose lives would be destroyed.
- crooks that become billionaires as civil servants.
- etc.

And they have no shame in screaming the praise of these fcktards!

Moronic nation, moronic people!

arsetalks: Many people are saying Nigeria probably got rejected because it is not epidemic here, that can't be true. If it was, they would have said it.

Our rejection shows how lowly the western world rates GEJ's administration. I am sure a country like America knows the importance of stopping the disease before it becomes epidemic and can't have asked us to wait for it to become epidemic before sending help.

To be honest, we had enough time to avoid the problem but we procrastinated and now think America will help us. Why should they?

They are simply telling us to suffer more for our lack of action from the onset and rightly so.

Our person in Aso Rock, through his hippo wife's big illiterate mouth, would probably blame APC for bringing Ebola to Nigeria to discredit his government.

They would soon show us "evidence" that APC paid for the Liberian guy's flight ticket and then told Obama not to provide us with Zmapp.

Yes, they will.

In another 500 years.

You think the majority quacks we have as doctors in Nigeria will discover anything?

While they are underfunded, poorly trained and politicians like Akpabio are awarding themselves £400K pensions instead of funding research and the person citizens would still scream their praise like "GEJ till 4057"?

Blackteeth: I have asked for proof all you gave me was grammar. What the hell is special about Michelle or Angela? The only disadvantage Patience has is that she is not educated like Michelle and Angela. Education is another deception just like oratory skills that can fool people like you to think that one with a PhD is more intelligent than one with no degrees. If you don't have any solid proof to back up your claim that patience is dumb then shut it and rest your fingers.

I know what your problem is, just like everyone else in your category of reasoning, Patience is dumb because she doesn't speak excellent English in American accent.

You are a cretinous person!

What solid proof are you looking for?

You want me to go and conduct a test on them?

To a person like you, I am not surprised you do not know what intelligence is and Patience Jonathan would be a genius. Even her husband, to you, is Einstein.

To people with high intellect like me, we know who is intelligent and who is not.

While you are too daft to know what intelligence is, then shut up and don't debate it.

I just saw an interesting survey done by the UK's Guardian newspaper asking over 1,700 UK university students and graduates which universities they regard as being equal to (that is, of the same quality as) their own university.

http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/interactive/2014/jul/24/interactive-which-universities-think-equals

There was some interesting opinions propagated by the responders which I will go through below.

I feel this survey is relevant to this thread because:
- It provides a useful insight (if the results are read intelligently) into how students/graduates view the prestige of certain universities in the UK.
- Hardly any student would state their university is on par with another they feel is completely inferior.
- Many of these respondents are the future recruiting managers for prestigious jobs, so knowing which universities they respect is good.

When assessing this survey, it is important to understand that this is not scientific and the responses are very susceptible to some weaknesses:
- They only reflect mainly perceptions that are local (i.e. UK-centric and specific), perception at international level might be different. They are perceptions, not scientific or methodological facts. That said, prestige is usually not a science.
- Many of the respondents are juveniles who would engage in wishful thinking, juvenile pride/denial and delusions of granduer. Some delusionally think their universities are as prestigious as Cambridge and Oxford.
- Many of the respondents are heavily influenced by the league tables they have seen or exposed to frequently. But that is simply the reality of university prestige nowadays and that would not change anytime soon.
- Many would pick comparisons based on their subject area/field of study, rather than whole university to whole university comparisons.
- A low proportion of students comparing a university as their equal might actually imply perception of superiority, not necessarily inferiority. For example, only 18% of Warwick students stated Cambridge was a university on the same level actually implies, most likely, the others think Cambridge is better; while only 30% of Warwick students think York is on the same level might actually imply, most likely, the others think they are in a superior university.
- Many respondents might refuse, in arrogance, to name universities that are their prestige rivals.

That said, if read intelligently, some pieces of intelligence and insight can be deduced from the survey.

Considering all these weaknesses, I think using the Oxbridge perception is probably the best measure as the weaknesses are minimised amongst these respondents. They know their universities are the best. They also had the highest number of respondents at 223 and 198 respectively, the third highest was UCL at 91. They are also the ones most likely to get the best jobs and be future hiring managers for prestigious roles.

After Oxbridge, there are inevitably delusions by a minority of university students; hence another good measure is using only the top 2 most frequently selected universities by respondents to demonstrate a better reflection of who they really see as their peer. This is because the top 2 most referred to are frequently:

(a) A true reflection e.g. Durham, Edinburgh and Bristol all picked each other

OR

(b) Are universities slightly better than the respondent’s university. One that they wish they could be compared to e.g. majority of Imperial/LSE students thinking their universities are on par with Cambridge/Oxford; and KCL students thinking their university is as prestigious as UCL/LSE. It is virtually impossible for a majority of respondents to compare downwards, like majority of Warwick students stating Bolton is on par.

Cambridge students think only 7 universities are on par with theirs (18% of them think no university is comparable to theirs)
1. Oxford 77%
2. Imperial 19%
3. None 18%
4. UCL 13%
5. LSE 12%
6. Edinburgh 5.5%
7. Durham 5%
8. KCL 4.5%

Oxford students' Top 10 universities they think are on par with theirs (12% of them think no university is comparable to theirs)
1. Cambridge 85%
2. Imperial 28%
3. LSE 18%
4. UCL 17%
5. None 12%
6. Edinburgh 10%
7. Durham 9%
8. St Andrews = KCL 6%
10. Manchester = SOAS 4%

Top 10 in the equality perception of top UK universities’ students & graduates (using top 2 selections only)
1. Cambridge
2. Oxford
3. Imperial
4. UCL
5. LSE
6. Durham
7. Edinburgh
8. KCL
9. St Andrews
10. Manchester

The Golden Triangle + Edinburgh are in the top as usual*.

* The top UK universities which I used their top 2 selections for the table are: Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, LSE, UCL, Bristol, Warwick, KCL, Edinburgh, Durham, St Andrews and Manchester. Majority of Imperial and LSE’s students might be deeply suffering the delusion though, so it might be best to look at their first 2 excluding Oxbridge.


Some other interesting observations from the responses:
- Cambridge students are the most arrogant. Arrogant enough for almost a quarter to think even Oxford is not a comparable university.
- The top 5 Universities (Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, LSE and UCL) actually all perceive themselves as the Top 5 in their responses. They all elected each other as the top 5.
- Imperial is beating LSE in the perception of students of the top 5 and many Imperial students feel LSE is an inferior university. This is the huge effect of the international league tables.
- Large, big city, England redbrick universities: Birmingham, Nottingham, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Southampton, Liverpool all have their students comparing themselves to each other. Bristol was the only exception.
- Bristol’s rep has slipped drastically in the perception of the Top 5 universities' students.
- SOAS is highly regarded by fellow London's top universities students and Oxford (which is, like SOAS, a more social science and humanities university than Cambridge is).
- Only the Oxbridge pair seems to have a large proportion of students thinking they have no peers. After them, the next most pompous is LSE with 6% of its students thinking no university is comparable to theirs.
- Warwick has not done well in the perception Oxbridge students. It is not in their top 10.
- The Universities I frequently highlight as the Golden Triangle + Edinburgh are all in the peer-comparison by Oxbridge students and also in the Top 2 selections.

Blackteeth: My assumption was made excluding those who are handicapped or mentally disabled. If you are including the handicapped then YES, the mentally fit would be FAR MORE INTELLIGENT than the handicapped ones. But if you exclude them like I did and make the comparison only be between the mentally fit and strong then you will definitely find it hard distinguishing one as FAR MORE INTELLIGENT. Many of us are mentally fit and strong. Most of us reason excellently well so the differences among this category of people is not easily noticeable.

Besides, what proof do you have that Michelle Obama is more intelligent than Patience? How did you arrive at that?

What proof do I have?

Let me tell you the proof:

A brain I can have for, and do use, for ratiocination.

So you are telling me that Patience Jonathan is not really less intelligent than Michelle Obama or Angela Merkel?

LMAyedun: Are you justifying the killing
There are better ways of dealing with such, he shouldn't have resorted to killing his wife.

So you think some killings are not justifiable?

Keep dreaming!

Blackteeth: I can't find that thread. But could you please find it and check very well to see that I clearly stated somewhere that their are different kinds of intelligence. Just check my comments very well. Remember I used the game of Chess and checkers to illustrate my point.

I have to admit that the first comment I made that caused the argument was a lazy and rough statement just to avoid more typing. It did not clearly explain the point I was trying to make. If actually i knew a poster called Sagamite would pick it up I would have taken time to write it very well to understand. The other comments I made clearly explained my position. So please stop using the first comment to judge my position. Just use my subsequent comments during the argument to understand my position.

I have told you SEVERAL TIMES that I never said oratory skills makes anyone intelligent. I was only saying that oratory skills can DECEIVE an audience to make them think the speaker is intelligent, and that is exactly what is DECEIVING you to think that Michelle Obama is more intelligent than patience Jonathan. Many people like you think that Patience is dumb because she can't speak English. That's the deception I was talking about.

Of course all NORMAL humans have an ALMOST EQUAL level of intelligence when performing common daily tasks. The reason I mentioned "ALMOST EQUAL" is because the differences are hard to notice when people perform common daily activities and also considering the fact that there are different kinds of intelligence such that where your intelligence fails, my intelligence picks up. Someone with a low IQ test score can end up being a better president than someone with an IQ as high as 10,000. This only makes their intelligence ALOMST EQUAL but NOT equal.

I thought I told you to stop chatting shyt!

So you are telling me that it is only oratory skills you see that makes Michelle look more intelligent than Patience Jonathan?

Or you are trying to strawman me that that is my opinion and position?

You think YOU can strawman ME?

Secondly, what is this rubbish about "common daily tasks" in measuring intelligence? So because you cannot see any superior intelligence in 2 different people washing clothes that means they are equally intelligent? Or are you using walking to the bus station to catch a bus to work? Or is it vacuuming your room you are referring to?

I don't understand.

What is this crap about "common daily task"? What relevance and significance does it have in assessment of intelligence?

And on the thread, were you not repeatedly corrected that despite the different kinds of intelligence, there are people that are more intelligent than others in all or majority of the different kinds of intelligence and hence they are by far more intelligent?

You still do not get the concept after all the education on the thread?

Typical Nigerian, product of a failed education system, cretinous person!

This person is jubilating that the dominant economy in Africa (SA) has a professional company making a killing in Nigeria as an example of Nigeria's superiority and being better than SA?

He has no clue or comprehension of the drivers of this outcome, but he came up with his cretinous "FACTS"!

Cretinous person!

Blackteeth: This reminds me of an argument I had with a certain Nairalander called Sagamite backed by his brother OAM4J. I tried to explain this to them but they thought I was just talking shiit.
There is nothing like UNIVERSAL intelligence. Although some people are intelligent in several areas but they still don't have UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE.

Stop chatting shyt!

You did not argue that there are different intelligence. You argued that all human beings were intelligent, and the intelligence all human beings possess is almost equal; that no human being is really more intelligent than the next one. That the only thing that made one person appear more intelligent than the next is just oratory skills.

That is as stewpid as saying Patience Jonathan is as intelligent as Michelle Obama.

An article from an Israeli academic that is a former IDF soldier, whose academic specialism now is warfare.

Also note the 'Terrorism' policy Israel practices as I defined above: "Kill many civilians to effect political change".

[size=18pt]My time in Israeli Defence Force tells me the level of casualties in Gaza is avoidable[/size]

In the 1982 Lebanon war I served as an Israeli artillery forward observer, my task to pinpoint the PLO’s positions and call in fire from our artillery units. We stayed in the evacuated Al Jamous School, overlooking Beirut. The routine was simple enough: I would pop into the classroom next door from where I would collect the co-ordinates and description of my military targets: “a military camp”, “a mortar”, “an antenna”. I would then return to my room and, looking out of the windows, I would direct our fire on the targets.

From time to time I would pause to let the air force get in to drop its munitions; and the navy would fire from the sea. Beirut, in the summer of 1982, was all burning up – a city on fire.

There was a purpose to this massive bombardment: to hit Yasser Arafat’s guerrilla force and its weapons – and also put pressure on the Lebanese, particularly those living inside Beirut with no water, food and electricity, so they demanded Arafat get out of Beirut which would then stop our assault.

In the end, a Lebanese military officer by the name of Jonny Abdu confronted Arafat who left Lebanon and moved to Tunisia.

Looking back now, I’m appalled by our brutal bombing of Beirut. Was it justified to turn this beautiful city into a Middle Eastern Dresden and kill hundreds of innocent civilians in the process?

Now to Gaza where, like in 1982 Beirut, the Israeli army is using overwhelming military power to locate and destroy Hamas’s tunnels, to stop them firing rockets into Israel – and also to put pressure on the Gazans (as we had pressured the Beirutis) so they turn their backs on Hamas as a political force.

In the process, just as in Lebanon, hundreds of innocent Palestinians have been killed and parts of Gaza, as some sections of 1982 Beirut, have been turned into wastelands. Even worst, UN schools in Gaza which are shelters to more than 250,000 refugees, and their hospitals have also been hit by Israeli artillery and bombs.

Wayward artillery
Can anything be done so that in the next round between Israel and Hamas, which is inevitable, there would be fewer innocent civilian casualties?

The answer to this question is yes. It is indeed possible to reduce the number of casualties on the Palestinian side, but this would require a modification of the Israeli army’s rules of engagement, namely the way it operates, particularly when in close proximity to schools, hospitals and other shelters.

For example, as an artillery officer I know that even now – with advanced technologies – artillery fire is unreliable. As an artillery forward observer, I always looked up to the sky, praying my shells hit the targets and not land on my head. Artillery shells have a strange habit of going astray.

In 1996, in southern Lebanon, wayward Israeli artillery shells landed on a UN compound near the village of Qana, killing 106 innocent people. In the current Gaza war many of the innocent casualties were victims of artillery shells landing in the wrong place. What’s needed here is to ensure that heavy artillery is not used in Gaza’s urban areas – particularly not near schools and hospitals.

As for Israeli attacks from the air, at the moment, Israeli pilots, or those who dispatch them, can choose from a range of bombs weighing from 250-1,000kg. They often opt for the latter, as they are big enough to destroy the target completely – and the pilots are confident they can hit the target accurately, as they often do.

The problem is that the collateral damage of such big bombs is catastrophic in densely populated Gaza; it destroys not only the intended targets but also causes massive damage to nearby structures and kills non-combatants. Such big bombs must be banned altogether from being used in the vicinity of shelters, schools and hospitals.

Hannibal Protocol
Finally, certain practices employed by the Israeli army should not be allowed to be used, most notably the “Hannibal Protocol”, which is the IDF’s procedure for preventing soldiers from falling into enemy hands.

The Hannibal Protocol is yet another product of Israel’s Lebanon wars: a procedure to be used in the first minutes and hours after a possible abduction of an Israeli soldier. It calls on the military to dramatically escalate attacks in the vicinity of any kidnapping – to strike at bridges, roads, houses, cars – everything, in fact, to prevent the captors from disappearing with the abducted soldier.

When the IDF thought – wrongly as it turned out - that one of its officers had been abducted by Hamas in the southern Gaza Strip, the Hannibal protocol was activated to a most devastating effect. The army used everything at its disposal – tanks, artillery, aeroplanes, drones – and pounded vast areas in Rafah, causing enormous damage, killing and wounding scores of innocent Palestinians.

The brutal Hannibal procedure seems to me to break all rules of war. It should be thrown out of the window and never used again in Gaza.

What will ultimately stop the death of innocent Palestinians and Israelis is a peace deal putting an end to the conflict. But in the meantime, a modification of the Israeli rules of engagement could reduce the number of innocent casualties.

In 2010, following Israel’s Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip which resulted in hundreds of Palestinian casualties, the IDF produced a document calling on military commanders, operating in densely populated areas, to “exercise judgement and use more accurate weapons, or lower-impact weapons”.

It seems, judging from the sheer number of Palestinian casualties in the current Gaza war, that the Israelis are not following their own rules – or the rules were produced at the time as a PR exercise to silence international criticism.

There’s no reason to think the Israelis couldn’t change their rules, though. We have international conventions banning, for instance, the use of chemical weapons in war, so it is possible, I believe, to also prohibit the use of heavy artillery, big bombs and cruel procedures in densely populated areas such as the Gaza Strip. After all, it is also in Israel’s interest, as the horrific pictures coming out of the Gaza Strip ruin the country’s already tarnished reputation.
