woodsbeatrice30: Dont mind them..asking for empathy from Trump is the wrongest thing a Trump supporter can ever ask of..but come to think of it,Why politicizing something as simple as the use of masks?why?masks do not save 100% but still saves from catching it to a greater extent..why dont you use it first and fulfill all righteousness...This pandemic actually made me know there are a whole lot of stupid people in the US..As in lots of them..you wonder if trully this is the country that first put a Man on the Moon
I wish him speedy recovery
Yes, it's really hard to believe that this is the country of Silicon Valley, MIT and NASA. I think mundane things like entertainment and religion has taken over education and technology. Entertainers and pastors seem to be the ones that dictate the future of the country,
Bluebyrd: That Trump didn't see the coronavirus as a hoax is a fact, That democrats saw it as an opportunity to make political gain and launch political attacks against Trump (Their new hoax) is also a fact. They wanted Trump to fail and they didn't even hide it, doing everything possible to sabotage efforts to bring the coronavirus under control.
What is your definition of a hoax? Was it the virus that was hoax or the Democratic party. When you say democratic party politicising the virus is a hoax, what exactly does that mean in English?
woodsbeatrice30: so they should show empathy while trump himself does not show empathy to others?you mean the trump that says a dead congressman must be looking down from hell..or trump that makes jest of a disable journalist?etc etc..abeg talk something else..Trump has no sympathy whatsoever,likewise he deserves no sympathy too at all..It's a DO ME,I DO YOU!!!
Don't mind the cult worshipping cry babies. When Trump was insulting Joe Biden's dead son just a few days ago, they were cheering, but now they want Joe Biden and his supporters to show empathy, because he caught the virus that he insulted Biden for wearing a mask for.
Remember, it was covid that killed his grandfather in 1918. I hope history is not about to repeat itself.
Sermwell: The person I met was asking me to pay 7k for each ISBN but someone here said I can get it at the national library for #1,800 for each.
N1,800 for 1 book. The person that wants to do it for me says N15k. He also says it can take up to three weeks. Where is the national library. I did one for a magazine about 15 years ago and someone did it for me at the national arts theatre then.
Deicide: It's clear that the topic heading was a mistake since the post content actually have the correct grammar. Nawa for all this grammar Nazi sha
Some people just love to make a mountain out of mole hill. Someone is asking for help, but instead of proffering a solution, they are wasting nairaland pages arguing over am and I'm
Chanchit: Had it been you are in Lagos, I would have helped out. Depending on the quantity. I would print everything, excluding ISBN which I can also get for you at a way lower price. You can still send me an email anyway. It's possible, since people print from China, Lagos is not that far.
I need ISBN for a book am about to publish, can you assist me, and how much?
kophschmerzenii: You are so on point man. Sad he will be getting the best care, his rally attending cultists are getting ACA cut by November 10 in the SCOTUS.
Getting the best care means little in relation to covid. You think the over 210,000 dead Americans did not get the best care. Even Boris Johnson, a younger and fitter man, getting also the best care barely made it alive from a covid infection. He has permanent eye damage as a result.
If truly president Donald Trump has covid, his evangelical Christian base better start fasting and praying for him.
PrideofLincoln1: That virus is the result of his ignorance coupled with stupidity and arrogance. Over 210.000 Americans are dead of Trumpvirus and the braindead fool still holding his hate rallies telling his cultists not to wear facemasks and one of his best friends in NY City died of the virus and we all know what happened to Herman Cain. I hope his cultists on Nairaland are smarter than that but I doubt it.
You hope too high. Nairaland cultists are ready to go to the grave with him. They would probably get infected with covid deliberately in solidarity with Trump.
Like I said it, when I saw the headlines. This one was never convicted she was more of performing religious rite and being afraid of her friends, family if not since she could have venture into it.
We have most Christian who goes to church, perform Christian rite that is not Thier wish. It's more of religion. When you have the conviction, relationship with God follows there's no how one can deviate from the light.
I pray Lord we never be a prey to such appalling circumstances, no matter Lord, let us know you personal.
The "no true Scotsmen" fallacy.
What makes think she was not a christian when she was a pastor? People can have genuine convictions, but change due to other extraneous factors.
Bluebyrd: So who does the Donald Trump campaign speak for? Do they speak for you or Biden or for themselves? You are just making me laugh here. All your arguments are so shallow. I posted a video up there of Trump himself rejecting and denouncing the KKK himself but you are pretending you didn't see it right? You have quoted all my other posts except that one. So conveniently.
Go back and watch that one then come back with your latest excuse.
The Trump campaign organisations speaks for Trump concerning issues of election campaigns, they cannot speak for Trump on other issues such as finance, legal, medical or family issues. The same way Trump organisation speaks for Trump concerning business issues.
What people are asking for is the personal opinion of Trump concerning racism and white supremacists. Is it so difficult for president Trump to directly condemn white supremacists and dissociate himself from them?
Bluebyrd: WHAT DID TRUMP REALLY SAY IN THAT CHARLOTTESVILLE INTERVIEW?
Read for yourself and see how dishonest these liberals especially their media can be.
REPORTER: "You're putting what you're calling alt left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?"
TRUMP : "I'm not putting anybody on a moral plane, what I'm saying is this, you had a group on one side and you had a group on the other and they came at each other with clubs, and it was vicious, and horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch."
REPORTER: "You said there was hatred, there was violence on both sides, sir?"
TRUMP: "Yes, I think there's blame on both sides. You look at both sides, I think there's blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don't have any doubt about it either. And if you reported it accurately, you would say it."
REPORTER: "The neo-nazis started this, they showed up in charlottesville, to protest the removal of that statue."
TRUMP: "Excuse me they didn't put themselves down as neo nazis. You had some very bad people in that group BUT YOU ALSO HAD PEOPLE THAT WERE VERY FINE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES. I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E Lee to another name.".......you're changing history, you're changing culture, and you had people, and I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE NEO NAZIS AND THE WHITE NATIONALISTS BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE CONDEMNED TOTALLY ...But many people in that group other than neo-nazis and white nationalists, okay? The press has treated them absolutely unfairly."
You can see that liberals have been spreading lies about what Trump said on charlottesville. They lived up to their reputations as liars and cut out a portion of what Trump said to use for their propaganda while refusing to report the remaining part where he made it clear he wasn't talking about the neo Nazis and condemned them.
You might need to go back to high school and ask for a refund of the fees your parents paid for English comprehension classes. I asked you to provide a quote or a speech where Trump specifically condemn KKK or white supremacists groups, and you posted this? I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE NEO NAZIS AND THE WHITE NATIONALISTS BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE CONDEMNED TOTALLY
He said they should. But, where they?
We are not talking about who should do what, we are demanding that he, president Trump take a particular action - Condemn white supremacists with his own mouth.
Bluebyrd: So you conveniently didn't see the "racism is evil" part of the comment and your eyes only started seeing from "and those who cause violence in it's name" part? You are a clown.
Don't worry when you want to propose to your fiancee and she asks "Do you love me", you can start giving her a lecture of how love is sweet, and see if she will accept your proposal.
Or a priest tells you to say your vows during your wedding, and instead of you just saying " I Bluebyrd do hereby take _ _ _ _ _ as my lovely wedded wife, I promise to love . . ." You start a tirade of how God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son. .
Bluebyrd: After having his candidacy endorsed by the KKK's "The Crusader", Donald Trump denounced the KKK endorsement.
"This publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign...... This campaign denounces hate in any form"
Is this all you could find after your Google search? Search some more, the speech where Trump condemn white supremacists may be hidden somewhere in the Internet.
This isn't a quote from Donald Trump but from Donald Trump Campaign organisation . This was just before the 2016 elections, where the KKK came out and endorsed Donald Trump. People were expecting Donald Trump to reject the endorsement - he didn't. Instead his campaign organisation came out with the above mild response.
Bluebyrd: Lol, you guys are ridiculous and pathetic! Even if he used the language you are asking for , you will still come with very pathetic arguments. In the other video I posted he said I reject the kkk, I don't like any group of hate. Guess you didn't see that. Three videos of Trump condemning white supremacists and your quarrel is with the way he said it? Even in that debate in front of millions you talk about, when he was asked if he will condemn white supremacists, his response was "sure absolutely" but you liberals have mastered the art of burying your conscience and lying without shame.
What's so difficult in saying " I condemn White supremacists"? , meanwhile, he is not shy to post tweets from white supremacists groups.
Bluebyrd: Donald Trump: "Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans."
President Trump said "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy" , not "I condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy".
He was giving ample opportunity to condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy in front of millions of Americans and billions around the world during the presidential debates, - he failed. His cult and Russian bots now bring out a two year video where he said "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy" as proof of Trump condemning white supremacists.
Ok, answer me, have the nation condemned racism, bigotry, and white supremacy in one voice?
slowice: If you check the exchange rate, per capita income, ease of doing business and the size of Saudis economy he would realise that petrol should be sold for 40naira in Nigeria......
N40? That's about 10 cents per litre. You mean to tell me you can buy petrol at 10 cents per litre in the international market?
It is depressing when you hear the country's president talk with so much economic ignorance (and I am not exonerating previous presidents).
An economic expert need to explain to our policy makers that it's not about the face value of price, but the value according to the economic indices like exchange rate, inflation and other Micro and micro economic realities. If you double the price of petrol to Ghanaian levels, we would need double the naira to buy the same quantity of dollars to import the same quantity petrol, so naturally the dollar to naira rate would double and we would be back to where we started. The price of petrol was 4k (4 kobo) in the seventies and has increased to N161 today. So no matter how much you increase the price of petrol, it will always be more than price in Saudi Arabia, unless we produce the petrol ourselves and don't need dollars to buy it.
One man's ignorance is another man's knowledge, and knowledge is limited to education and experience. Lots of us have travelled to other parts of the world and have seen how things are done properly.
When the bridge is completed it will open up Ikorodu and Epe. With Badagry express road, every part of Lagos will be urbanized.
Open up Lagos to where? Why does every other area of Lagos have to lead to Lagos Island? Is Lagos island still the capital of Nigeria or colonial government? Why do all major bridges in Lagos have to link Lagos Island? All traffic does not have to lead to Lagos island.
What exactly is the Lagos master plan? Lagos should design and build urban clusters and link them all by rail. Lagos State government after Jakande has been building infrastructure haphazardly without any urban master plan. You need industrial zones, commercial zones, residential zones and even a silicone Valley (to accommodate the new technological reality)
It also reduce traffic a lot.
That was the same argument for Lagos - Epe expressway, Apapa - Oshodi expressway, Carter bridge, 3rd mainland bridge, Badagry road, ikorodu road, ejigbo-igando, etc.
Nigerians don't know what they want. When politicians embezzle money they complain when they embark on good project they complain again.
And you think you know more than all Nigerians, that's what I call arrogance.
No one is complaining they are embarking on a good project, what people are complaining is that the limited resources available could be put to better use, to initiate projects that benefit more people for longer term.
Psoul: Once again, you exhibited lack of knowledge or paucity of it as concerns how schools run or what this particular school is doing. The school never said they will expel any student with HIV infection. But I tell you, if actually the school is conducting pregnancy and drug test, and a student is found positive, they will expel such student. That is a welcome idea (excluding a student that is pregnant within marriage). Know it that the university is a Church owned and they want a particular standard. If you think you cannot keep to the standard, pls stay off that school.
As I said religious fundamentalism including Christian fundamentalism is like a mental disorder. They are unable to distinguish between reality and their make believe world. A school registered and licensed under the Nigerian law must follow certain guidelines, Covenant university cannot operate outside those laws.
Expelling a student because she decides to get pregnant is against the constitution and is discrimination against women. Are you also going to expel a male student that got a girl pregnant? Whether a woman got pregnant married or unmarried or even through a sperm donor is non of the business of your university. It will not be included in your certificate. It can only apply to secondary schools where students are expected to be less than 18 years.
In sane countries, if a university expels a student for getting pregnant, they will be sued out of existence.
Secondly, it seems you are reading the post upside down. The test bn conducted was not to give academic admission to the student, May be wen u heard before admitting them to school, you thought it was for the initial. The admission meant here was for the returning student, it means before they will be allowed to enter their hostels and commence learning. There are already students of the university and not new entrants.
The bone of contention of this thread is what type of screening is it? If it's covid tests, that's good and even commendable, but if it's a pregnancy test, that's an invasion of privacy. The fact that you are attending a university, does not give them the rights to your privacy and dignity.
Then after the test, what next? If the student test positive for Covid, do they just send the student away or refer the student for treatment?
Thirdly, you forgot that we are in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic. I was expecting someone like you to commend the school for such medical test that will give more relative safety to the students, teachers and staffers of the university. Here you are condemning the test. If the school had ignored the test, someone like you would've carried it on ur head to criticize them saying how can a church school be so arrogant and disobedient to simple rules that will protect the life of people.
I already commended the school if indeed it's a covid test. It's just that some students were complaining that it was urine and blood samples that was taken and not a swab as expected from Covid test.
Bro, you problem is that you hate anything that has to do with Church of Christ and you will do anything to talk it down even if it makes you look very stupid.
Yes, I hate the gospel of Salvation according to tithes and offerings as promoted by bishop Oyedepo and others. It's a scam. I also hate the interference of religious leaders in personal lives of members.
vioment: I think it would have been more wise to focus on rail and brt modes of transportation, than to do a bridge and stress the current traffic.
The money you would get from rail ( hopefully affordable) could greatly support the 4th mainland.
Could have focused on consistent and secure rail network.
Rail can support freight and human cargo. It don't have to too fast but it has to be conducive and secure. The freight trains could help the ports and internal heavy movement. Still secure and dependable.
The leader's vision here did not pass the foresight test, from my point of view. This is why he is part of my 2nd tier of Nigerian leaders.
The problem is not even building the roads and bridges, the problem is maintenance. Roads and bridges are very expensive to maintain, and you know we are not blessed in terms of maintenance culture. The federal government spends billions every 5 or so years maintaining the 3rd mainland bridge. Most of Lagos roads and bridges are crying for repairs and you are talking about spending billions of dollars building more roads and bridges.
Railway lines are the least expensive public transportation infrastructure to maintain.
Psoul: Do you listens to yourself talk? I'm so disappointed by this comment. You really mean that schools don't have business with her students medical report. This is so ridiculous. I don't think you attended any university. If you did, may be you did not pass through the right channel during ur admission. You would've noticed that medical test is one of the compulsory process to undertake.
Well, for your information, the test is not to see weda to accept or decline you admission. Do you know that one can take a school to court alleging that it was since his admission into a particular school that he or she suffers a particular health issue. The medical tests conducted by the school may be one good evidence to exenorate the school from such allegation. Secondly, your medical report in the school will be very helpful to give such student medical care especially in case of emergency. I'm so much disappointed that you condemn schools conducting medical tests on students. This is absurd.
Well, I can understand. You guys hatred towards churches can make you act out of place most times. This is disgraceful.
I think it's you that did not attend a tertiary institution. Because, if you did, you will know that you are giving your admission letter before you are required to carry out a medical test. That's why I highlighted the quote in blue. That's the correct position. I have never seen or heard a school withdraw their admission letter after a medical test, nor based admission based on medical condition. Will Covenant University withdraw admission if the tests reveal a student has HIV?
People criticise the churches because they over reach their authority. The churches in Nigeria wants to control all aspect of their members lives - Financial, Domestic, Marriage, medical, etc,. Churches have no business with members medical record.
Omooba77: Any right thinking Government will look at the option of rail lines... It still beat my imaginations that LASG is not thinking of rail from Mainland to Island, Lekki, Epe. For Lagos to be like Dubai, it MUST have rail option!
Don't mind them. Only a mad man does the same thing over and over again, but expects a different result. If the like let them construct 10th mainland bridge, it's only a matter of time before traffic jams caught up with all the roads. The more roads and bridges you build, the more people buy cars people buy. I remember when 3rd mainland was build, it did not take five years before the bridge itself became completely blocked with traffic. Same for Lekki Epe expressway and Ikorodu road.
Metro railway is the only way to go. Lagos is the only city of over 10million people without intra city railway.
Farki: That's because these schools care so much about their image and have a strange totalitarian idea of what Christianity is to the point that they must micromanage every aspect of their student's lives.
That's because we live under religious tyranny. In sane societies, students and parents would have sued Covenant University to extinction for all human rights abuses.
Psoul: Some people will just be making making some foolish comments just to have something to hold against the school and the church.
When your employer takes you to their official hospital for a medical test. Do they tell you the types of test they are going to carry out on you.
Religious fundamentalism degenerates the neurons to the extend of being think straight.
What concerns church and school? A church is a non profit charitable organisation with religious objectives. A school is a business enterprise in the business of selling knowledge for profit. How can someone conflict the two?
Your employer is paying for your services, and so might need you to undergo medical tests in order to ascertain your fitness for the job. A school is a service provider, and apart from keeping records for medical purposes in case of emergency, a school has no business with my medical records. In sane societies, a school cannot deny students admission based on medical history.
fuck419: Some girls go even dey pregnant without knowing ooo
And is that the schools business? It is the constitutional rights of any girl above 18 to get pregnant if she chooses. Pregnancy is not against the law.
