The Blue oxygen is the liquid or solid form. Does it mean its no more oxygen?
The same Oxygen ,but no more in its primary form ,gas which is colourless and not seen. That's the difference .

The same thing like water and ice

Lol
You don't know anything about oxygen
. O boy,Please don't include me in your argument with others. I only responded to what you asked about oxygen and it wasn't meant to criticize you in any way. So I don't understand why you're now responding this way. It appears you're mistaking me for another person. Check very well. This is triplechoice.

Ok. Please tell me what I don't know about oxygen?

And that it is invisible to the human eyes right?
I don't understand why you're asking me this? Oxygen in the atmosphere is not visible to the human eyes. What's seen as blue Oxygen is only found in a places of abnormal temperature and pressures.

Yeah. But our theist friends here says one can't see oxygen, when it has different forms that can be seen
The truth is that Oxygen is colourless. What we see as blue Oxygen is only found in abnormal temperature and pressures. It's like water. It's colourless but as solid Ice we can describe it as white.

Oxygen in the atmosphere is never seen because it's colourless.

You misunderstood me. You're correct that Oxygen is gas and I affirmed that.

How?
Oxygen exists in many forms. There are liquid, solid and gaseous forms. Here's their pix
At this point, I have to wonder whether you ever went to school
Oxygen is gas. The other forms of oxygen you have mentioned is due to certain conditions acting on it to turn it into either solid or liquid.

Oxygen or O2 is a gas
Oxygen is invisible to the e human eye

You're correct to say oxygen is gas,but it can be solidified and liquefied and when that happens you see it.

How can it be cognitive bias when evolution is facts? Is creationism credible?
I haven't disputed evolution nor accepted creationism as credible . I only expressed my opinion about what I think is the cause why some persons here assume wrongly about others. I said they don't know enough but
think they do about the next person before passing judgement. That is cognitive bias.

And also that the habit of labelling others as this or that is a lazy way of winning an argument. Both the theist and atheist are guilty of all of these.

Hello again everyone.

I've noticed something pitifully embarrassing here on this platform, when it comes to discourse with theists. And that is what atheism is, or what an atheist is supposed to believe.

It's come up more times than I can remember, where someone assumes just because someone doesn't believe in a god, then they must "believe in" evolution, or the big bang or that everything came from nothing and so on. .

The aim of this post is to clarify exactly what atheism is, and what atheists believe. So please read closely.

So what is atheism? and what do atheists believe?

Simply put, atheism is the LACK OF BELIEF in a god.Atheists do not believe in a god.

Belief in things like evolution and the big bang are NOT prerequisites to atheism. Please understand this.

A person can be an atheist, and still not accept evolution, or the big bang. The only prerequisite for being an atheist, is the lack of belief in a god That's all there is to it.

Atheists can have other beliefs not related to a god, but they are not prerequisites for atheism, nor are the beliefs a definition of atheism.

Please try to understand this. So next time you see someone say "atheists believe in X or Y". Kindly show them this thread.

I will say it again. The only prerequisite for atheism, is the lack of belief in a god.

Thank you for your attention. Contributions and rebuttals as always are welcome.
@ the bolded ,atheists, (not all of them),also assume they know what every non atheist should believe or what every religion in the world teaches,,and it's "pitifully embarrassing" too seeing them passing wrong judgement on others who don't share in their non belief or challenges them on something they have said. To them, if you reject or question evolution theory then you're a gullible theist who believes in creationism .

In my opinion, the behaviour is fueled both by cognitive bias and the desperation to win an argument using under hand tactics. If it's the later, then no amount of education can stop the person. It's the lazy man's method of winning an argument without much sweat.

You will observe that those who label you a believer in evolution theory do so by highlighting its limitations while ignoring what has been proven to be true about it in order to dismiss it as mere theory and then call you ignorant and stupid for subscribing to it It's the same treatment they have received from atheist who question their sanity for accepting creationism is what they want to revenge.

I have experienced the worst from some atheist here who are very quick to assume that anyone challenging them or saying something in support of what they rejected must have done so because they believe in a God.


The education should be for everyone, me included.

Don't be so quick to assume about the next person or about anything else until you can be sure to some extent. If you do ,it shows you're not thinking but just reacting based on what your learning or past experience have taught you. We haven't experienced it all or learnt everything.

BTW your definition for atheism is incomplete. An atheist is not only the person who doesn't believe in a God but who also don't subscribe to the supernatural Any atheist subscribing to the supernatural is confused in my opinion.

Zionmdde:
And am telling you that if the pastor said the water can only work when you mix it with faith You cannot ascertain if faith was there and therefore you cannot ascertain that you have fulfilled the requirements
Or how will you prove that that is fraud
. But no evidence the pastor has said any of the above about mixing it with your faith before it can work. Instead he has made his followers believe that he has infused it with his own faith by praying over it. So, if it doesn't work, he should be held responsible. It's his own faith which cannot be "ascertain" he is selling to the public, and that's why it's fraud. If it's the individual's faith, then he should simply direct his members to pray over any drinkable water and use it.
So if a pastor said if you give you will receive a thousand folds and you give and nothing happens, will you will sue him for deception?
Please direct this question to those
foolish enough to hand over their money to a pastor for it to be doubled.
Even hospitals are not sued when patients die after assurance of treatment
Hospitals don't give assurance of treatment that cannot fail. Hospitals aren't offering magical or supernatural cures that's not expected to fail.

And they aren't sued because everyone understands from past experiences that there are no guarantee treatment anywhere that cannot fail sometimes . When treatment fails there's usually an explanation why it has failed which we all accept, and because of that no hospital or doctor is sued. Negligence is what can lead to suing.

Please to use what I explained above to support the pastor. Faith healing is not the same as orthodox medicine used in hospitals. The former has to do with God and not infallible humans.

Quest7777:
Is the Bible the Constitution of Nigeria?
The issue here is Legality & not Religiousity/Morality.

The ingredients of the so called Miracle Soap is written on the packet and it's same ingredients as your regular soap, and that's what Nafdac certified.

People who buy the soap are those that freely chose to believe that Fufeyin impacted supernatural powers into the soap that transformed it into a Miracle Soap. And such people are exercising their legal right to freedom of religious beliefs.

So where did Fufeyin commit a crime and against who did he commit the crime?

Pls don't bother replying if you can't answer these questions?
The crime he committed is this,

The soap was taken by the pastor to Nafdac for approval for sale to the public ,without him declaring it as cure for anything.

But after securing the approval , he started marketing it in his church as a miraculous soap with nafdac approval on it If this is not criminal behaviour, then please tell me what eise it's?

Good we are saying the same thing
That as long as nafdac have certified the water and soap, vdm has no case on whether the water heals anyone or not. Just like you can't sue Joy soap for not bringing you out of depression
You don't understand how Nafdac operate or what they do.

The certification given to the miracle water by them is to assure the public that the water is safe for consumption (u fit drink ham, e nor go Purge ur belly) and not that it can cure any anything. That's all.

But the pastor,unfortunately, s telling his members that it can cure them . That's the fraud and deception.

Zionmdde:
First I don't believe in the miracle water. But that's my personal belief.
Secondly the summary of what I said is that sometimes hope heals. That's why doctors administer hope. So if the miracle water doesn't work as a miracle, it can still give one or two the hope they need to overcome it

It's still foolishness in my personal opinion to use the water for treatment
If it's foolishness,then why encouraging others to be foolish?

The man whom you're defending is not being honest about the product he is selling to his members and the general public.

He doesn't want to tell the truth that the product can only give hope and not any real cure . That's deception and you are here defending him.

There's a reason doctors offer hope to their patients. It's to aid the healing process which has been triggered by the treatment they are about to give or have given to their patients.


The pastor is only offering hope in the form of ordinary water, labeled miracle water to deceive, and nothing else as cure.

What is fraud?
1. A lawyer won't call what most of these pastors do as fraud because there are critical elements that must be present before something is called a fraud

2. If you also delve deep into psychology you will know why a person wrongly diagnosed of cancer will start withering away faster than a person who has cancer but was told he doesn't
. Am saying that to say this, if 200 people use that soap, at least 5 people will likely come back with testimonies because of number 2

Until the law classifies the Bible as fraud, what the pastors do cannot be called fraud. Ask any lawyer and get their response. Calling a pastor a fraud can land you in jail
@ the bolded , you're encouraging others to gamble with their lives. "at least 5 from 100" doesn't prove the efficacy of the so called miracle water.

if your child is down with a severe bout of malaria and typhoid, would you because of what you have argued administer the miracle water or use orthodox medicine that can effectively do the job without any kind of faith ?

Islam " contributes" in the sense that it probably is being manipulated to discourage education of certain groups
There's no objectivity in your submission here and that's why you have put the word, " contributes" in quotes . If it's "probably being manipulated" according to you, then the religion is not to be blamed but the "certain groups" involved in the manipulation.

You can't present this line of argument in a law court and expect any judge to rule in your favour.

Provide evidence from what the religion actually teaches to prove it discourages its members from pursuing Western education. That's all
Any other thing is your own personal opinion.

I'm not defending Islam as a Muslim. I'm not one of them but only trying to focus on what I know is true about the religion. It doesn't discourage anyone from going to school or investing in it.

babasolution:
But you realise religion especially Arabic religion in black countries also contributes to lack of investment and interest in western medication
Not true that religion or Arabic religion is the cause for the lack of interest and investment in Western education in "black countries " There's no religious text where it's written that people shouldn't acquire Western education or invest in it Those who aren't investing in it are doing so for a reason : They're afraid of losing the control which they have over the very poor and uneducated masses who they manipulate for their own selfish ends.

it's very easy for religious leaders armed with a wrong interpretation of scripture to convince their uneducated followers, who don't know the value of education or have the means to acquire it ,to abandon the idea of going to school. That's what's happening within the Boko Haram sects and others like them. In Christianity, the Jehovah witnesses leadership are discouraging their members from acquiring higher education . But it's mostly the poor members who take the advice seriously .

In Islam,wealthy Muslims or those who can afford it don't discourage their children from acquiring western education because they know that nothing in the Koran bars them from sending their children to such schools..
Mind you logical ,analytical, and strategic thinking doesn't have to be from Western education.
I haven't said it must be from Western education. I only gave an example of what can be done here for progress to happen.
But if your mind isn't beclouded by religious inclined thinking ( superstition) it can also produce good results
Freeing one's mind from superstitious beliefs is not an easy task if one hasn't acquired the critical faculty skills needed to do so.

So, what you're saying here is hardly possible if people don't learn first what it means to think and how to think very well.
PoliticsRe: For Black Countries To Succeed They Must Drop Religion by triplechoice(m): 2:57pm On Aug 05, 2024
Somebody once said that,"If you want to put out a fire , you don't blow at the smoke".

Provision of good quality education for the masses and the reduction of poverty in Africa is what will lead to progress and not just the eradication or banning of religion.

Europe didn't ban religion before they started making progress. What they did was to focus their attention on providing good quality education for their citizens to help them develop their critical faculty skills so they are able to use their brains the right and not submit it to religious leaders for manipulation.

That was what they did. African leaders should emulate them if we want to make progress

If you eliminate religion and don't educate the people nothing will change .

Poverty isn't a gold medal you should be proud of .

You should have read the full article in the link.

The op is not encouraging women to marry poor men, but highlighting the major reason why a lot of women from this part of the world can easily tolerate poverty with their parents, but find it very difficult to bear temporary hardship with their own husbands and offer any kind of support to help them bounce back from it.

Women are known to support their parents wholeheartedly no matter the situation, but when it comes to their own husbands it becomes a boring
job . Why? That's the question .

According to the op,societal programming which makes some women see their husbands as the sole provider in the family is the cause.

For me, those who have been programmed that way are the ones who would easily abandon their marriages during such difficult
times ,but would want to return immediately after when things have turn around for the good for the man.

Such behaviour should not be encouraged .

Our girls demonstrated incredible mental grit to overcome the highly ranked Aussies.
The Op will certainly ignore the news of our girls , D, Tigress, triumphing over the australians , his white gods, because it doesn't agree with the falsehood he is ignorantly trying to push here.

Apart from the USSR game which was obviously grown married men vs boys, the rest do not apply.

Brazilians are neither Caucasian nor Asian.
Spain never led Nigeria by a wide margin in that match.


Enrol for adult education before you quote me again.
Thanks.
1. Bring your proof that it was grown men over boys and FIFA disqualified them for cheating or shut up.


.2 . The Brazilian team we defeated was made up players of Portuguese and African descents. In fact most of the team members were Caucasians. Or are Portuguese not white?

3. The Spanish team was mostly made up players from real Madrid and Barcelona and was one of the most feared team before that tournament.But in spite of the intimating credentials that they possessed, our super eagles ,whom you regard as mentally inferior,came back twice from behind to still defeat them , yet you don't want see it as a display of a superior mental strength over the whites you worship as gods.

What happened yesterday between Australia vs Zambia is normal occurrence in football . It happens all the time and that's why we love the game.It has nothing to do with the colour of the skin . In football, we say, anything can happen. A lapse in concentration , change of tactics and skillful display by any team member can dramatically change the game , and that's what happened .


A Football match is a contest between two opposing teams of equal or unequal strength and not between two opposing race to determine who's racially superior. If it were the latter,the France national teams would be barred from playing unless the field only white players.

You really have a problem of being blinded by racist hatred over your own race due to lack of knowledge of what makes a human being mentally tough, and because of that you're using random results from football matches to pass very wrong judgement against your own race. You're cursing yourself but you simply lack the awareness to know it.

The mental/psychological strength of the average African is zero. In times of mental strength, it always falters.

Zambia women just lost to Australia 6-5 after leading 5-2 shortly after half time. Who does that?

Like, you went from 5-2 to 5-3 even 5-4 and something in you did not trigger "hey! we need to do something!" at that point? shocked

Tell me the Caucasian or Asian team that will collapse like that. Worst case that match will end in draw with many red cards and delays.


Yesterday, Morocco olympic team were tied 1-1 with Ukraine's 10-men. They eventually lost in the very last minute 2-1 to Ukraine's only shot on target after wasting tens of shots.


Before that, this same Moroccoan team almost lost a 2 goal lead against Argentina in the very last seconds of their opening match. They were saved by VAR long after the match had ended.

We have seen this scenario over and over again from African teams against whites. It is a mentality thing.

Politically and business-wise, the whites know this fact and they use it all the time yet blacks have failed to realize it. Whites know that blacks will buckle under pressure so they usually introduce panic situations whenever they are negotiating with blacks because they know that the black man will panic and eventually comply.



I repeat.
No Caucasian or Asian team can capitulate to a Black team like that. They will dig deep, whip up something (even illegal) to either stall their opponent or destroy their gameplan.

It is not racism. The Black man is mentally limited.

Good day.

Guy you're the typical Nigerian, your economy revolves around the USD yet you are asking to leave USD out of the discussion.....No be juju be that?

You haven't provided any evidence to confirm that. I can equally brag about my own achievements ,but won't do that because I'm not an egomania like you.

Yes, the Nigerian economy revolves round the dollar, but since you're completely out of touch with the reality here ,you're not conscious enough to know that in our local markets people buy food stuffs with naira and not dollars. People also buy fuel with naira not dollars. In fact the federal government has made it illegal to buy and sell in Nigeria with the US Dollars and any other foreign currency. The minimum wage to be paid is in naira not dollars, and if you convert the 70k to dollars it's even less in value than the 30k Buhari approved 5 years ago, yet you're deluded to think it's huge money that will results into too much money entering the economy to make traders doubled their prices.

If you have a PhD at all, then you must have acquired it from attending a very substandard university.

Sermwell:
We lost one of our cousin and so I travelled down home to attend the burial. Both immediate and extended families travelled from across the country with thier families for the occasion.
So one of our cousins brought thier pastor/prophet from the city, and decided there will be a vigil in the family compound to cast out demons and break 'generational curses' in the family. I reluctantly attended and when the vigil was going on, the pastor kept prophesying to different members of the family and telling them alot of weird things to do if they must break the curses. I wasn't comfortable at all with his appearance and narrative throughout.
When it got to my turn, he asked about my wife and I told him she's at home and couldn't attend the burial. He asked about my kids and I told him I have two kids. Then, he said my wife and the members of her family are after the lives of my kids. He said my wife's mother wasn't happy about our marriage from day one and they want to kill our kids on the same day and accuse me of being responsible for sacrificing them for money so that my wife can leave me. He then asked me where I work and I told him I work with an insurance company in Lagos. He then said if I know any Kolawole and I said he's the chief finance officer where I work. The pastor/ prophet then said that this Kolawole doesn't want me in that company and has sworn that he will set me up.
Before he could even finish, I just turned back and walked away back to my room. To my surprise majority of our family members also abandoned the vigil immediately. Now you may want to know why we all walked away??

(1) I'm not married
(2) I don't have kids
(3) I don't work with any insurance company
(4) I don't even live in Lagos

The next morning, my cousin and her husband who brought the pastor were very angry with me. Although they couldn't confront me, but I overheard them reporting me to some elders in the family and asking them to mandate me to apologize to thier fake pastor. Before they could approach me for that, I just went straight to the pastor and told him I don't want to ever see him anywhere near our village again. The whole compound became chaotic and I went back to my room wandering what I did wrong..
Please fam, did I do anything wrong in exposing the pastor's shenanigans? sad sad
. You did no wrong. Don't allow anyone to intimidate you to apologize to the pastor.

These are the basic salaries if the new minimum wage takes effect, the allowances are not included in the calculations.

E gba mi, calling you clueless is not an insult but a statement of FACT! This particular topic o, you're not well informed! Just look at the comedy you wrote highlighted above........I'll school you once again because I see the need to seriously correct your misguided assumptions. INFLATION is absolutely a bad thing and serious counties will always peg their inflation below a certain number. Dem no born any USA president well to seek reelection when inflation is above 5%, he no fit enter. Same goes for U.K, no prime minister can survive when inflation goes above 10%.

Moving on, why has the minimum wage in the USA remained $7.25 since 2009, how come they can't DOUBLE IT? I mean cost of living has increased over 60% since 2009 so why not? Because they're not crazy! In 1990, the minimum wage was $3.80, it took them 19 years to slowly increase it to less than 100% and they've not increased it for 15 years now. This is a country that witnessed multiple wars, recesssions and other calamities o, a country where the average house mortgage was less than 80k in 1990 and now the same average mortgage is over 300k.

If you still believe inflation is not a bad thing and that a sudden 120% increase in minimum wage won't increase inflation then you're simply a COMEDIAN......A very funny Baba Suwe!
. You making too much noises and not making sense. What I meant by inflation not being bad was explained by me ,yet you have
gone ahead to reply with nonsense to confirm your inability to comprehend what's clearly explained for you in simple English language.

Are you even aware there's something called deflation which is the opposite of inflation? If you knew that, then you would have understood what I was driving at when I said inflation is not bad. The expression,"not bad" in the context I used it ,means it's something that naturally happens in every country where' economic activities are going on . In other words ,it is normal occurrence and so cannot be completely eliminated or stopped ,but only managed to keep it from rising too much. You can only manage it to keep it low ,but not to extent it results into deflation which is not also good for any country's economy.

Instead of you to focus on one thing by supporting your wild forecast about inflation with unambiguous facts and evidence from the past as it concerns your country , you're all over the place using another country having a different set circumstances to do so.

For instance, what's the sense in using America whose currency the, dollar, is more stable than the naira, to ask the silly question of why their minimum wage hasn't been increased for years . It hasn't been increased because their currency is very stable compared to yours.So no much need.

I will be wasting my time if I continue the conversation with you. You have been arguing from a position of stubborn ignorance . Your "clueless" name calling directed at me, is a projecting of yourself. You think that help will help you prove point? It won't.

Again I will not argue with you because you're obviously clueless.....I've attached your initial response to me where you clearly highlighted illegalities as the influencing factor even tho countries like USA and UK experienced increase in inflation and illegalities is very limited in their societies.....Your own words betray you so WHO AM I TO ARGUE? SHALOM!
Your problem is comprehension. I didn't say illegalities is the cause of inflation but that spending money gotten from illegal means recklessly and consistently on goods and services is one of the factors that can result in inflation. If you cannot comprehend this simple explanation written in simple English,what else can you understand?

Besides I have also said there are other factors responsible for inflation unlike you who insist one only one thing, minimum wage. That's the only thing you know and have been blaming inflation on.


Name calling won't help you to prove your point. You're only projecting yourself by referring to me as clueless. I won't call you clueless but continue to inform you of the correct thing so you learn and stop the negative forecast about inflation.

Inflation is normal in any country where economic activities are going on. It's not a bad thing. Nobody can stop it. It can only be managed so it doesn't get out of hand and cause problem for the economy. The 70k minimum wage which is to be paid to few workers in Nigeria won't result in too much money entering the system. What you have been doing is to use what's obtainable elsewhere where a significant number of workers earn minimum wage to forecast what will happen in Nigeria. That's very poor and it shows you're not thinking it at all.

The government that has agreed to pay 70k which is very far from what labour asked for, consulted with economic experts to know the amount to pay that won't cause problems for the economy. Maybe you think you know better than them with your halfbaked knowledge
