harlos: Good mrng to the inside and outside of this thread

Logicboy03: It is a thread that needs to be derailed.


We have answered the question on page one-

"NO! NIGERIA DOESNT NEED A SPACE PROGRAM. THINK OF THE HUNGRY PEEPS, ILLITERACY AND EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FIRST- DO WE EVEN HAVE QUALIFIED ASTRONAUTS AND NASA KINDA PEOPLE"?

Logicboy03: Would be se.xy if you said it in a country/texas accent

Logicboy03: What??

How did you know that I am awake?

Nahum777: who is talking doesnt matter , what he is saying is all that matters, the bible is of no private interpretation,

Nahum777: why dont you interpret the verse for us now.
"Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?" (Job 4:7).

obadiah777: dont hate the player. hate the game you created

obadiah777: hehe how are ya mademoiselle texanomaly. thats just to remind you that this whole race thing started on your side. i didnt create the game, i am simply playing the game created

obadiah777: i do not wear skirts

deuteronomy 22 vs 5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment:

cexplorer: Please what is the hope of pensioners like me who was due for federal pension since 2005 but yet to be enrolled after series of verification and capturing exercises? What other practical steps can I take to get my pension arrears since 2005 paid to me?

Logicboy03: Let us settle the basic problem of poverty first..,,

plaetton: Good point.
But Africans have been starving for a very long time.
Should we wait till every African is belly full before we begin a space program?

plaetton: And most importantly, do you not think that perhaps there might be causal link between our lack of scientific curiosity and our inability to feed ourselves despite all our natural endowments?

plaetton: Logicdude,
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one.

Firstly, poverty has always been a moving target.

Secondly, the space faring nations like USA, Russia, China and the European Union did not solve their poverty problems before embarking on space exploration, neither did they consider the eradication of poverty as a pre-requisite.

Logicboy03: What the hell are you talking about?

I want a space program but you would be following the same path as the private Jet pastors- spending billions on something that brings little or no benefit to the average man...

Oh yes, and the average income of an American family at 1969 was about $9,000 which is $37,000 by today's inflation

1969 was the first moon landing.

Furthermore, poverty is quite relative. Living in America at the time was okay when they had their space exploration.

So guy, you are pointless

plaetton: Thirdly, our homegrown leaders have, over the many decades since independence , shown that they neither have the vision, the smarts, nor even the will to alleviate, let alone eradicate poverty.

plaetton: A space program will attract, aggregate, spread and propagate the requisite Brain-Thrust needed to confront and mitigate most of Nigeria's and Africa's most pressing problems.

plaetton: Just imagine how it could slowly but surely decimate magical thinking, and the chronic zombification and mumufication of the Nigerian populace.

plaetton: Wow. This is great.
This what I mean. This is kind of agency and this type of enterprise should occupy front page on our media as often as possible. Push politics and religion to the curb and showcase human ingenuity and possibilities.

Our national consciousness , especially of the young, needs to be fed and nurtured on the works of such an agency. It should be a source of national pride and a magnet for the cranially dexterous.

plaetton: Anything, anything at all to increase our national IQ and neutralize the debilitating effects of magical thinking and religious bullshyts.

dorox: Nigeria needs to develop its industrial base and rebuild basic infrastructure before talking of a viable space program. As a nation we struggle to generate enough electricity to meet 30% of our already very low demand, I don't think space should be our problem at this time.
The way I see it space is the product of a good industrial and scientific knowledge base, and not the other way around.

Ranchhoddas: Cart before the horse...we should get our priorities right.we do not need a space program.

Samgreguc: "satan does not understand the Bible but, he knows the Bible."
Never do I say satan understands the bible 100%

macof: The Sun God and Santa has been serving us well

macof: why get hugs when u can get kisses?

Nahum777: Even you? U dont believe? Okay, have been reading Obadiahs post, i mean all his posts, posts off nairaland too, so i know how to sound like him. Maybe you should know who i really am. https://www.nairaland.com/meilyn/posts thats who i am miss we have no reason to lie. Why would Obadiah have two monikers? Of what use is it to him? And why would he lie about it?

ATMC: I used to think that the above mistake was common to only we Naija.

Joshthefirst: Hello Tex. I'm fine. Merry Christmas.

rationalmind: My interpretation was spot on. You people should blame the translator not me. If you as an English teacher writes such a statement for your students, you would have to be returned to school.

ARareGem: One man's meat, another man's poison.

Divepen: thanx for Showin us

Joshthefirst: I believe the deuteronomy verse is saying it is forbidden for a woman to grab another man's testicles while trying to defend her husband during a fight. How you reached the conclusion that she should not grab her husbands testicles at all is beyond me.

rationalmind: It is because you put on dark colored glasses when reading the bible. Now take a look at this, pay attention to the bolded.


Now, remove those glasses and read again

rationalmind: No let me insult you o. You should ask whoever wrote that verse how seizing ones husband genitals rescues him not me

macof: Josh has a point.
He could be correct, it's a use of pronoun, "him" could apply to any of both men there

rationalmind: yea, I think the problem there is the translation. Whoever translated it did a bad job

plaetton: Fair enough.
What is your comment on the Deuteronomy verse?
