What is it with Japanese web cam? Was it used to spy on Abacha and then relay the pictures remotely to IBB ?
Crime › Re: Motorcyclist Sells Nurse To Ritual Killers For N10,000 by Standing5(m):
This is shocking!
For someone to actually trade his fellow human being, in principle, is very very wrong. One of them even made 50k out of the situation but still decided to sell the collateral for 10 miserable thousands naira only. This goes to show there are other forces at play in the life of the criminals than greed. . .they need deliverance!! ASAP!

PointB: Nothing is wrong with the idea. I think it's one of the most commendable idea from AregbeRascal. cheesy cheesy cheesy

I like the name, just as Demdem like Retardeen! grin grin grin
Well, if that's the idea behind your post then no problem. I am more than glad to have efficient personality with character and zero attitude in charge than one with no character, no moral boundaries but with attitude like AregbeRascal's predecessor.

PointB: Nice one AregbeRascal.

I hope he follows it through to logical conclusion. Though, I think the Northern part of the country have comparative advantage (land mass, sahel savanna, etc) in Cattle production via ranch, Southern state are not far behind, if a clear cut plan of action is put in place. By the way, 1,500 cattle is a lot animals in one place, the sooner it is handed over to a good private company the better.
Egbon PointB, I don't get your point above, what is wrong with the idea by your own standard?

Logicboy03: What does this have to do with the remainder that dont go to church?

We are talking religiosity here and not irreligiosity.


I never said that christians are perfect. The bible itself is a problem.
The remainder that don't go to church aren't perfect and so you shouldn't try to subtly clasify them as atheist. Stop shifting the goal post of a game u started boy . . . By the way, you remind me oe Beaf of Politics Section

Logicboy03: [size=18pt]Does Jesus tell you to lie?


Where did I say that atheism is the reason for Britain's prosperity? [/size]


89% is church attendance. 89% of christians go to church.


Dont you know basic statistics?
And where did i accuse you of saying atheism is the reason for Britain's prosperity. If only X% of Christians in Britain go to church, does it the mean the remaining (100-X)% are atheist or aren't Christians again? Who told you that Christians are perfect beings?
Christianity Etc › Re: The Irrationality Of Being More "Christian" Than The British by Standing5(m): 10:27pm On Oct 20, 2012
Logicboy03: Atheism is simply a disbelief in god. It doeg not grant you miraculous prosperity!


The measurement is simple church attendance in Nigeria is 89% while uk 10%
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_attendance


The percentage of christians as well is also important.
The bold part again shows your alarming level of cluelessness, atheism does not gauranty prosperity yet you used the level of Britain's prosperity and its alleged atheism level to question Nigerians' belief in Christ Jesus. As for your Wikipedia link. How can 89% go to church when christians aren't up to that percentage of the population? Am i getting something wrong in that wikipedia page?
Christianity Etc › Re: The Irrationality Of Being More "Christian" Than The British by Standing5(m): 10:17pm On Oct 20, 2012
Logicboy03: 2/5 filled is equal to 3/5 empty......dunce!



Also, both church attendance and number of christians are higher in Nigeria and so you are making no sense.


Stop playing a straw man. I never said that Britian has an adopted religion
Why resort to personal abuse if not the fact that your arguememt has been exposed as the weak sh.it that it is. When i used the analogy of emptiness up there, i was trying to make your coconut head understand that your estimation of Emptiness and Attendance level is your own bloody opinion boy! It does not come with any gauranteed level of precision. Also, you need to stop assuming britain is an atheist nation.
Christianity Etc › Re: The Irrationality Of Being More "Christian" Than The British by Standing5(m): 10:08pm On Oct 20, 2012
Also, if i may ask, what is the standard unit you used in quantifying the Christianity level of both Countries? Oyedepo's slap or parents beating child?
To show how confused you are you tried to use the advancement of Britain which was mostly achieved when their alleged level atheist belief was at it lowest, going by your post, to justify your daft argument which assumes subconsiously that atheism is responsible for their advancement.
Christianity Etc › Re: The Irrationality Of Being More "Christian" Than The British by Standing5(m): 9:53pm On Oct 20, 2012
Logicboy03: I hope you know that this topic made front page?


There are many topics that use strategy A "religion is bad" but they get nowhere.


I used Britian to make a logical point that an advanced society dropped their religion and we carry religion there without asking why.

It touches something deep in Nigerians when we compare our country to the UK. An indirect route of asking why developed countries dropped religion.




Effective and logical
Your arguments are still daft. Britain as a nation does not adopt any religion but allows her citizens to choose. There is nothing like Nigerians practice blah blah blah more than Britain. If you want to compare by all means then use the ratio of Christians to Non-Christians For both countries and not your perception of the 'Emptiness' of house of worship. What is 2/5 filled to you might be 2/5 empty to another. The logic is just too weak.

Politics › Re: Chinua Achebe: Why Nigerians Hate Igbo by Standing5(m): 6:33pm On Oct 20, 2012
shymexx: I bought the book last and I just opened it, and Achebe alluded to the book as not a balance account of the civil war because it was largely based on the account of notable Igbos like himself...

Obviously, that makes the book a pro-biafran book...

Much ado about nothing, I'm out... undecided undecided
there was no point going that far, the man is good at Fiction and not the true stories
Politics › Re: Chinua Achebe: Why Nigerians Hate Igbo by Standing5(m): 6:20pm On Oct 20, 2012
The Envy and hatred of Igbos was evident and obvious under our colonial masters yet they supported 'One Nigeria'. . . Achebe is definitely a 'bad loser'. . . Let him keep his fictions coming, you never can tell, one of these days he might just realize his life-long wish of N**** L******* Prize.

Christianity Etc › Re: The Irrationality Of Being More "Christian" Than The British by Standing5(m): 5:53pm On Oct 20, 2012
It is clear the OP is very confused here, firstly the argument put forward to start the thread are mostly incorrect. Missionaries who brought religion and slave traders shouldn't be mixed up here. Like someone rightly stated, in christianity Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith. The missionaries are mere tools in the hand of God.
Secondly, you claimed society cannot run properly on religious beliefs, but on logic. Well, the bible already tells of where logic should end and where spirituality through faith, a personal thing, should start.
Also, Mr OP did not tell us how religious beliefs can be influenced by overall information people imbibe. In fact Mr OP's argument implictly rests on the hidden or Subconsious assumption that the British are superior Human Beings.

The more you guy discuss this topic the more hopeless our situation looks . . . what we need to wake up and step out of our current limit, to me, is revolution. No more control of the south by the north, no more routine corrupt practices anywhere, no more shifting of the goal post.
