Every death is due to a medical condition. You die when vital organs in your body like your heart, lungs, and brain stop working. If divine healing were real, its practitioners would live forever. Clearly that is not the case. In fact, like Bishop Idahosa and Kathryn Kuhlman, they often die prematurely. Even if you have faith the size of Olumo Rock, it will not cure any sickness that you could not have recovered from naturally.

If it ever becomes 100% clear that they are the same person, the newer account will be banned by Mynd44. Let's not waste any time on this.

It's obvious to the Jews that the verses in their scriptures that Christians interpret as predictions of Jesus have nothing to do with him. They see Christians in the same way that Christians see Muslims who claim that certain verses in the New Testament predict the coming of their Prophet.

If it's not injured you should probably do that. If you're keeping him, you should leash him by the neck instead of tying the legs like that.

1. Help from church members in time of need.
2. Getting a job.
3. Getting a husband/wife.
4. Getting capital and workers for your business.
5. Getting a skill, some churches have skill-acquisition programmes.
6. Making money as a pastor.

These are practical benefits one can get as a church member.

But atheists want you to leave all that for atheism.

You don't have to leave the church when you become an atheist. Many atheists are church members and workers. Musicians, pastors, etc. Having said that, you have vastly over-stated the benefits of attending a church. Most of these benefits are enjoyed by a very tiny minority.

What benefits does atheism have to give?

Relaxation on Sundays. Guilt-free sex with your lover. Freedom to spend your tithes, offerings, first fruits and pledges. Not having to reject facts that contradict your faith. The world makes perfect sense to an atheist; there are no illogical "mysteries" that you have to "wrestle" with.

Can you keep it as a pet? It may not survive in the bush unless you can find its mother. Can't you take care of it humanely like a goat?

Tassels are out on the maize plants.

This is lovely. Kudos.

Bump.

We will try our best.

@oyetpel: Can you post the latest pics? Thanks.

What do you prefer?

Single life with multiple partners and baby daddies.

Being an only wife to a man that cheats with thousand ladies.

Being a fourth wife to a decent man.

Why must she choose between these bad things? Every man/woman wants a partner who is faithful to only him/her. Religious approval of polygamy grants this wish to all men but denies it from all women. That is not fair and it allows confusion and commotion to destroy families.

I think Arya's genocide of the Frey men was too easy. There should have been a couple of men who didn't take the drink for one reason or the other, and she should have had to fight them with some difficulty. She should not have been able to stroll away casually without any care in the world.

Also, smiling after killing people is not appropriate or normal unless Arya is a total sadist or psychopath like Ramsay, which is not consistent with her next scene with the Lannister soldiers. That's just terrible acting. Sophie Turner (Sansa) knew not to smile after killing Ramsay #GoodActing.

I thought Dany's takeover of Dragonstone was also too easy. How could such a valuable fortress have remained vacant [s]decades after the Targaryans were defeated[/s]? How could it be in such good condition after decades of not being used? There was no payoff for the suspense we experienced when they were moving in. Also, why didn't the guards walk with Dany to protect her and why was their stupidity not punished, in GoT fashion?

Dany looked as if she was posing for the camera while experiencing neck pain and constipation in one of the her shots. Sigh. Acting.

The scene with Cersei, Jaime and Euron was brilliant. I rewatched it a couple of times. The actors and everyone incvolved did a good job. I hope Emilia Clarke (Dany) and Maisie Williams (Arya) were taking notes. I love them, but their acting ... is sometimes disappointing.

I think Sansa thinks Littlefinger's primary motivation is that he wants her in his bed, and that may be a mistake. He is intentionally giving her that impression. Littlefinger wants power more than he wants to smash Ramsay's widow. She is only useful to him as a key to the north. She shouldn't forget what he did to her aunt.

OLAADEGBU:
"Is there any evidence that I can give that would make you not believe that your wife exists?"

... but why should we believe that your wife exists if we never get to meet her even when we visit your house, you have no pictures of her, there are no female clothes or accessories in your entire house, and your neighbors have never actually seen any woman entering or leaving your house?

olayiwola4u:
Today we get to remember you and your achievements. I pray that you will enjoy many more years of service and continue to be a blessing to others. And of course, I hope you have a happy birthday!

Boss, tell us the party location

Thanks! This is touching and lovely!

I'm 35 years old now. Life begins in 5 years.

uncomposted Manure especially poultry droppings can be toxic to plants.

Every strong fertilizer can be toxic to plants. Fresh chicken manure is not as strong/toxic as Urea or NPK fertilizer. The key to using any strong fertilizer safely is to either dilute it with more water/soil/carbon, or to bury it in the ground at a safe distance from your plant roots

Corn is less prone to nitrogen fertilizer burn than most plants:

Thanks I have gotten the little I need in school chalk

I had to do the same, but I don't know whether the chalk I got is made of gypsum, limestone, or a mixture of the two.

1000 naira bride price. Commendable.

OLAADEGBU:
"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them" (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

That's wrong. It should be "enjoy your life in the days of your youth, when life is still enjoyable". Don't squander your youth by not enjoying it.

A car without the use of the manual book will have more purpose than a man who has not discovered his relationship with his Creator. Remember now your Creator.

The purpose of life according to Christianity is a life of evangelism and going to heaven to praise God forever and ever. Not very interesting!

You should probably thin your maize urgently, since tight spacing makes pests and diseases difficult to control, and the plants in the middle might not produce anything due to lack of sufficient sunlight.

Where can those of us who need just 1kg or so get it?

Are you suggesting that the vast majority of Nigerian students are cheats?

Have you tried Ojota chemical market?

Ameri9ja, is it accurate to say that you believe that, if a man claims to have had a supernatural encounter, and he composes a work of literature which is said to be very beautiful and easy to memorize, then he must have actually encountered a supernatural being, and could not possibly be mistaken, lying, or both? If not, can you clarify your position?

You seem to not believe that the supernatural entity that you believe that the Prophet encountered was actually who the Prophet said the entity said it was - Angel Gabriel. This means that either the being lied to the Prophet about its identity, or the Prophet lied about who it said it was. Which of the two possibilities is your position?

How do you reconcile your view of the Prophet as a honest man with your belief that he added self-serving and false revelations to the beautiful literature allegedly dictated to him by a supernatural being as the words of the creator of the universe? Would a honest man tell people that his own self-serving words are the words of the creator of the universe?

Is it accurate to say that the reason you are not a Muslim is because the message of the Prophet doesn't suit you? If you believe that the message is true, does it really matter whether it suits you or not? If you don't believe that the message is true, how can you be so sure that it came from a supernatural entity rather than the mind of a clever man who happened to be illiterate at a time when only a few lucky people were literate?

Also, you forgot to point out the portions of the Arabic scriptures that you consider to have been inspired so we can examine the claim of supernatural inspiration. Cheers.

1.The corn plant is indeed a voracious eater. The ugu did well though I noticed the ones I planted outside the corn range did exceptionally well.
It could have been different if I used urea fertilizer but organic is just my thing.

Could you have just added more high-nitrogen organic fertilizer? Urine is a great organic source of nitrogen,as is Soybean meal and fresh chicken manure (I believe that the process of aging or composting manure leads to a significant loss of nitrogen).

oyetpel:
Nice view from your garden bro.

I wish i could sell my corns and other vegetables when they have grown, but here in my vicinity i can't.

I have to give it out for free to friends, family and neighbors.

Just ask for money and see what happens. Offer them a modest discount.

ayagbajumoh:
hello lordhugo. I just bump into all your lectures about snail farming and it has been a great read for me. just started small scale snail farming in my front yard with few medium snails in a large snail pen . today i was able to get calcium carbonate from a chemical shop at ojota since I could not find limestone to give the snails, is it okay to sprinkle the CaCO3 onto the sand for the snails? or put in shallow plate? I hope that is the right kind of cal.carbonate
thanks for your responses

You should probably feed them a small quantity first to see if it is okay for them. Calcium Carbonate is Calcium Carbonate but impurities in each sample can differ, I guess. How much Calcium Carbonate did you buy, and how much did it cost you? Info sorely needed!

Ameri9ja, could you please answer the questions below?

Seun:
Do you believe that the Muslim Prophet encountered a supernatural being? If so, what supernatural being do you believe he encountered?

Can you list the verses of the Qur'an that you consider to be inspired? By inspired, do you mean that they were actually dictated by God?

Let's settle this issue before moving on to other topics. Don't forget to answer the question about why you are not a Muslim as well. Cheers.

which one be yoke of bondage

It's a biblical term. I want him to free himself from the financial and psychological bondage of that organization.

"Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God." says Heywood Broun

Most atheists in Nigeria are in the closet. Many of them go to church with their spouses every week. So this is false.

Is anyone here willing to sell or give away the seeds?

Most of them are women. Changing your religion in order to be married to a man whose religion allows him to take more wives, divorce you anytime by saying a few words, and to beat you when you disagree with him, is unwise when the punishment for leaving the religion is death.

Yea this is a very terrible defense of Christ Embassy. Cast away your yoke of bondage and be free, dude.

Day 84: Update on the F1 Victory Cabbage.

The growth is just amazing. Time to start putting preventive measures against pest/insect/diseases, surely they will attack.

I love the neat arrangement of your Celosia (Soko) by the side. Whenever I transplant mine they seem to stop growing; how do you go about it? Do you often find caterpillars on yours too? Or does the organic spray prevent this? Tnx.
