Nbote: I'm currently watching it on Al Jazeera... There is a difference between leaders and rulers... There 3 phase plan is jus stunning how dey have already lined up plans and are working towards it.. U can hate Trump all U want but he's one man who definitely knows what he's doing even though he may have is many flaws.. The way he handles each question thrown at him is simply brilliant.. Planning ahead both for d US and countries who "May neva b able to build ventilators"
Eya, hero worshipping has eaten your brains, Which 3 phase plan? A summery of the so called plan says businesses and social life in general will resume at the discretion of the Governors. Shebi, he said he has the power to do and undo, that the power to resume rests with the president?
What does "limited opening of businesses, including restaurants and gyms, that observe social distancing" mean? Who and what determine the limits?
The second phase is as useless as the first. Which says "opens schools and allows gatherings of more than 50 people in addition to further lessening of restrictions on businesses. Non-essential travel also would be allowed". Most schools have more than 50 people and how do you enforce the restriction of gatherings to 50 people? What happens if a gathering is more than 50 people? Who determines essential and non essential travel? Is it restricted to local or international travel?
The third phase is more stupid than the rest; "people vulnerable to the coronavirus would either shelter-in-place or have limited movement in public". Who are the people vulnerable to the virus? Is the whole population not vulnerable to the virus? Is Trump himself and his family not vulnerable to the virus?
All the bravado and shenanigans is just to show his dumb worshippers that he is in control when actually he is not.
If Trump kills their mothers and rape their wives at the same time, his worshipers would praise him to high heaven and feel blessed.
Mintum: There's no confusion there, it's a fact Trump has never filed for bankruptcy. Trump owns over 500 businesses, five or six of them filed for bankruptcy, that doesn't mean Trump himself was bankrupt. You can't find one single person in this world that runs hundreds of businesses and none of them closed down. However, Ivanka has told a story of how when she was still a kid, her dad once told her that a beggar in New York was richer than he was then because he was in so much debt then. He never filed for bankruptcy then but in reality he was bankrupt. He managed to turn things around because he is an astute business genius.
You mean Trump was able to turn a turn a 8 billion dollar debt in 2003, according to Ivanka Trump, to billions of dollars by by 2015, how?
He needs to show US his tax receipts over the period to understand how he did it.
Mintum: Which vast experience does Bill Gates have in dealing with diseases? SMH for you liberals too. You lied that Trump went bankrupt five times and you want me to take you serious? Trump is a billionaire by all credible sources and that's a fact not liberal fairytales.
Since you are Trump's arch angel, can you please show us his financial records or bank statements over the years; o while at it, let's see his tax receipts also.
nduchucks: The people that will receive the checks do not give a ratsass about whose signature is on the checks.
Na person wey belleful dey complain.
So you think it's ethical (or even legal) for trump to use the desperation of the poor people during this virus pandemic to further his personal political goals?
ifeanyija: if Buhari sign a cheque of 100000 naira u won't accept?
You guys seem incapable of staying on topic. The issue is the appropriateness of Trump signing a relief check from the Federal Government 7 months to elections.
When Buhari was distributing money few months to the elections through the trader moni scheme, it's still the same you guys crying fowl, without stating whether you will reject it if you were given.
nduchucks: This is very impressive. 80 million payments have been made electronically already.
In the meantime, American wailers are wailing about Trump's signature on checks. Are there signatures on electronic deposits?
We are not talking of electronic deposits, we are discussing checks. Why should Trump's signature be on checks for those that are being paid by checks? Maybe all payment of civil servants by checks should bears Trump's signature. Maybe all purchases and payments by the Federal government should bear Trump's signature. Better idea - Maybe the dollar should bear Trump's signature and portrait
Lostz: even Obama called a health care plan Obamacare.
the left leaning media will always look for a way to discredit Trump
Calling a program or policy the name of its originator is different from putting your signature on checks. He could have called the program Trump relief package and no one would have raised eyebrows.
destinie2019: What has he done, sef? Name one thing.
What has he not done that Trump also has done. Trump issued a travel ban and you guys say that is the greatest achievement of Trump in curtailing the virus, Buhari issued travel ban, you guys criticise him for being too late.
Trump could give $1,200 to each US tax payer because the US has has a $21 trillion economy. Buhari is proposing N5,000 because Nigeria has $450 billion economy, where most don't even pay tax.
veron007: Bros keep deceiving yourself. Igbos have fought the battle and earned themselves the respect they deserve. What everyone knows in Nigeria today is that Igbos are united more than ever and more than prepared to fight another war if 1967 progrom against Igbos starts again. They have done it before and will not hesitate to defend themselves again.
In otherwords, Phillip Effiong should not have surrendered unconditionally, and should have fought till the last man or woman.
Maybe be you guys should withdraw the surrender your father's signed and pick up the war from where they left.
SocialJustice: Please go back to school and get your degree. If there's no business you're interested in then invest in real estate or buy shares. Shares of most companies are currently selling at a steep discount. Do not leave N500m in your account, it may look like big money but you will soon realise how small it is a few months from now.
If what you said is true, this is the best advice. Go back to school to add value to yourself. Invest a substantial amount in the property market (property market is more stable than the stock market). You can invest a little in the stock market. When you graduate from school, you will have the right skills and temperament to invest better.
djon78: See this disease wont do much in Nigeria because of many factors:
The government was more proactive more than many western governments..Those that traveled through Heathrow, JFK, and many other busy airports in Europe and America said there was no restrictions or check as of February but Lagos and Abuja airports were doing serious checks as of that February period
Nigerian government locked our borders and airports at the right time. Many of these western nations allowed the disease to spread around, they were caught napping, hence the havoc and fatalities.
Even China's neighbors in the Asia Pacific region had less death than the Europeans and Americans because they responded in time.
The west failed woefully They handled the issue poorly
The incubation and manifestation period for this virus is about 14 days or there about. Most of our people that returned from overseas before the lock down is past three weeks now. Everyone with the virus must have manifested in either sickness or death
By the end of this extended 2 weeks Nigeria will have been free.
The only problem will be for government to put tight control at our airports and borders so that anybody that comes into Nigeria after the lock down is over must be quarantined and seriously tested.
I don't even see the death toll here reaching 20 self.
I agree with you, but our brothers from the east and PDP would not agree with you. They will tell you Buhari's response to the virus was worse that that of Italy, UK and US.
Another factor that I believe is helping us curtail the virus is our weather and immune system. Our hot and humid weather helps us restrict the spread of the virus as it curtails it's spread. The virus does not last very long on hot and dry surfaces. Furthermore, we constantly abuse our immunity (drinking pure water, eating foods with various degree of contamination, constant malaria and typhoid infections, etc) has really helped us in fighting epidemics and pandemics in general.
maasoap: That's the reality my friend, it's not a wish. The woman and her husband had invested a lot in Africa. FFK can't claim to love Africa more than these couple. The woman was making a plea for Africa for the whole world to come to our rescue before it's too late. What she said is what many sensible people among us already knew. Between Melinda and FFK, who do you think love Africa or Nigeria better? Melinda of course. She gives to Nigeria and Africa all the time while likes of FFK takes as much as possible from Nigeria, sometimes, more than what three generations in his family would need to survive. FFK is doing what he knows how to do best, distorting comments to attract attention. Let me ask you: what is the relevance of people like FFK to Nigeria?
Don't mind them, if tragedy strikes now, people like FFK would take the next available flight out. They would take their families to the best hospitals in the world. The same people demonising Melinda now would be appealing to Bill and Melinda Foundation, WHO, UN, Red Cross,etc to come to the rescue. When famine hit Ethiopia, ,FFK and the likes did not even see it, it was the same western people that came to the rescue by sending billions of dollars worth of food.
Africans, sorry I mean Nigerian have arrogant pride. They have and know nothing and yet behave like they own the whole world.
Agboriotejoye: Yet you've been typing shite and demonising, insulting, cursing instead of praying first for God to bless your day. Is dis how you live your life? Why didn't you wait till your brain was fully ON before you jumped on the internet? Rethink and rejig your life man!!
Who have you seen me demonising? It's you people that is so negative that demonises and hate everybody, even those that try to help you. You guys carry negative thoughts and energy around. My day is always blessed, I aways look forward to improving myself, my family, my business and my surroundings, everyday. I have no space or time for haters, cursers and negative people who contribute nothing to there environment.
I took a look at your profile. I see we agree on most issues except this Melinda Gate's issue.
I think we should just agree to disagree, cause I have some respect for your views.
Ofon0909: Before you all crucify Femi Kayode, go and look for Melinda Gates video and watch it. She said she sees dead bodies lying all over the streets of Africa. Femi Kayode only rebuked her prophesies and I stand with him. After all if any thing happens, it isn't Femi's fault but our Government who isn't proactive and playing politics with the COVID-19 pandemic. Before you conclude, go and watch Melinda Gates video and Femi's video.
Nigeria is cursed with dumb populace. It explains why we are in poverty in the midst of plenty. Nigerians are the only people that will curse you if you give an honest advice, but is negative. If you advice a Nigerian to take a certain action to prevent failure, poverty or death, he will curse you and your father, and end it with God forbid and "I reject it in God's name", but when tragedy happens, he looks for someone else to blame.
If a woman advice his husband to write a while, take a life insurance policy or prepare for any eventuality, they would brand her a witch that is planning to kill her husband.
If you tell your your friend who is living large today to save for tomorrow, because the source of money might dwindle or stop tomorrow, he will hate you and say you wish him evil.
This is the terrible nature of the Nigerian, the inability to think and plan tomorrow.
A woman, who had done tremendous work in Africa. A woman who along with her husband is responsible for eliminating polio from Africa, and a woman has shown concern for Africa is giving advice to Africa, based on what she saw in Ecuador. Instead of us to disagree with her politely, we are supporting a known drug addict and a serial womaniser, who had never done any charitable thing in his life to demonise her.
She has a point. The fatality rate in Nigeria so far is about 3%. Out of about 300 people confirmed infested with the virus, 10 are dead. Imagine the number of death if up to a million people are infected. That would be 300,000 thousand.
Even the the Trump administration is using a projected figure of between 100,000 to 200,000 deaths as a best case scenario. Worst case scenario is between 1 million to 1.2 million deaths.
honeyB2018: Am not a Femi Fani Kayode fan,but going through your thread on what Mrs Melinda Gates said, there is no differences between what she said in reference to o Ecuador and African and what FFK said. When she said I see in Africa, what I saw in Ecuador, what was that supposed to be? What did she see in Ecuador, was it not death?
And FFK and you are the voltron of Africa? Africa has about 52 countries, but it's FFK and you that is taking it so personal, why? She did not mention Nigeria not to talk of your tribe or family name. Why the personal insults on Bill and Melinda Gates? Nigerians always want to be famous for the wrong reasons.
Chloroquine Study in Brazil Halted After 11 Patients Died A Brazilian study that saw 81 coronavirus patients given chloroquine was ended early after some of them developed irregular heart rates, according to The New York Times. Chloroquine is closely related to hydroxychloroquine, which President Trump has promoted as a potential treatment for the novel coronavirus despite little evidence of its efficacy. The Brazilian study in the city of Manaus saw half the study participants given a dose of 450 milligrams of chloroquine twice daily for five days, while the rest were prescribed a higher dose of 600 milligrams for 10 days. Within three days, researchers started noticing heart arrhythmias in patients taking the higher dose. By the sixth day of treatment, 11 patients had died, leading to an immediate end to the high-dose segment of the trial. The researchers said the study did not have enough patients in the lower-dose portion of the trial to conclude if chloroquine was effective in patients with severe disease. - https://www.democracynow.org/2020/4/13/headlines/chloroquine_study_in_brazil_halted_after_patients_develop_irregular_heart_rate
I am alright my brother, normal ups and downs in the Nigerian chaos. E no easy o, but the struggle must continue. Me, I done finish quarantine, whether Buhari like it or not, me I don resume work.
plaetton: A common rule of thumb is that the person selling fear to us is the one we should actually fear. The purveyor of fear through falsehood is the one that is trying to manipulate the masses.
I can bet anything that you are not an African.
You are most likely operating from a troll farm somewhere in Eastern Europe or Russia.
I have noticed a lot you lately on Nairaland. Your job is to spread silly conspiracy theories and disinformation.
You contribute nothing to humanity. Instead , you calumnize those who contribute meaningfully to humanity. Shame upon you.
They don't need to operate from Russia or eastern Europe, Russia has troll farms right here in Nigeria and Ghana. The new weapon of war is misinformation and Russia is leading in weaponization of information.
Is it still a CONSPIRACY THEORY that Belinda Gates DECLARED BOLDLY on CNN, that Africans will soon begin to die like flies, when as at TODAY, without their VACCINE, few deaths are recorded.
Or is it that after Africans have been sufficiently INTIMIDATED to accept The Bill Gates Vaccine, by their agents, who probably having been EATING from Gates Scholarships & Grants, then these Africans that are not dying as expect by the Corona Virus, will then begin to die like flies?
Not ALL NIGGERS are eating from Bill & Melinda Foundation. Only them that RECEIVED their money should RECEIVE their VACCINE, especially to improve on their IQs certified by Bill Gates.
Why not show links to support your conspiracy theories? You guys are fond of making stupendous claims with no proof whatsoever. You think that that mentioning CNN, (even though you guys call CNN fake news) will give your conspiracy theories legitimacy. Why not show the links to CNN?
Bekool: Where is the almighty sw amotekun when u really need them most or is it just a political tool for 2023?
The Almighty SW amotekun was not supposed to replace the police, Army and civil defence, it was to protect against fulani herdsmen terrorising farmland, villages and expressways in the south west, who use the forests for cover.
Dpharisee: Yorubas jubilated when a lockdown was placed on the Eastern region for 3 years and the people survived it. One of the progenitors Awolowo is celebrated as a hero. Just one week of hunger and they are running mad.
Anyway they know the areas they harass people, Igbos in Lagos get yourselves ready with anything reliable, we know what happened during the last election when they invaded polling stations in Igbo dominated areas. That one was just a preamble. Lubbish Blacksmiths in Awka have reserves in their storage
Many of you voted Buhari just to spite the 5% Igbos while thinking that an Ijawman GEJ was an Igboman
Oya make una deploy Amoteks on ground, not the online Amoteks armed with tomahawks
Were you a member of Bob Marley and the wailers
You are still wailing 50 years after the civil war and still wailing 6 years after Jonathan's loss. Tears no dey finish for your eye? You wanted Yorubas to vote Jonathan by force?
Only in zombie world can there be a comparison between a complete senile who is plugged to a machine that speaks into his ears on what he should say and a maestro coded message to the Q movement.
Trump speaks from the heart every day during press conference and answer questions for hours, what can only be done by a genius. Obama was hidden from press briefings like an imbeccille during his time in the white house. Biden can't even recognize who he's talking to or what the subject matter is, let alone where he is or which of his family members is standing next to him.
Trump is giving out some information about the deepstate without letting everything out. We needed a confirmation if coronavirus is part of the war and he did. He needed to give us a code and we got it. Patriots needed to know that coronavirus has some brilliant people(deepstate)behind it.
Trump is giving you a code through the TV? Doesn't that sound easily similar to john Nash of a beautiful mind?
Superjazz: Nairaland had been littered by pained people,who aren't happy with the latest success the chadians are experiencing in the war against bokoharam. something Nigeria couldn't do in ten years the chadians are doing it in couple of weeks,hence they try to discredit the chadian forces,and potray them as a group of ragtag army that can't stand the Nigerian millitary might in conventional warfare.thats why I create this thread to enlighten some misconception in this wrong reasoning. WAR IS NOT WON BY SIZE:size or big population is not everything. if it was so India should have been a super power much stronger than the USA .war is won by morale tactics and equipment.the chadians have what the Nigerians don't have.which is the moral and dedication with a determined and experienced leader. CHADIAN ARMY IS A GUERRILLA FORCE:the chadian millitary doctrine is based on guerrilla war tactics due to years of fighting they are warriors of the desert hence very effective in desert warfare and combat. NIGERIAN FORCES WILL BE MASSACRED:lol I don't need to raise the volume of this. a Nigerian army that's been battered by Bokoharam armbush right in their own territory,can't dare invade a 2020 Chadian territory because if a full blown out war emerges the chadians will just murder our helpless troops.u don't know the damage the RPG 7 and anti tank missiles can do to our tanks and armoured vehicles.nigeria uses the T/55 tanks and some few T/72s lol, these are favorite prey for the RPG 7 and other anti tank rockets.even the Russian version of the T/72 tank suffered severely from anti tank rockets and RPG attacks during the Chechen war talkless of our downgraded T/72 tanks the Nigerian army uses.chad may not have a decent armoured fleet but they have deadly shouldered fired antitanks missiles like the Milan and various version of the RPG 7 our armour column will be punished severely by the chadians.dont forget also snipers,machinegunners,artillery,mortar,landmines IEDs antitank ditches Bobby traps would be well laid to deal ruthlessly with the invading nigerian soldiers.the Chad of today is not the Chad of the 1980s. CHADIAN HAVE SUFACE TO AIR MISSILE SYSTEM:In this scenerio nigerian airforce will be practically handicapped in carrying out airstrikes against the chadians.the Nigerian airforce that Boko boys can bring down with MANPADS how can it face a defending force armed with the sa-6 truck mounted surface to air missile system.chad have about 12 of this systems.it will be total suicide on the part of the Nigerian airforce to fly sorties against these systems as our aircraft we currently use are just too obsolete is surface to air missile systems can bring down sophisticated su-25 ground attack aircraft is it the obsolete alpha jet and secondhand mi-35 attack helipcopters we have that it won't bring down even Bokoharam shotdown two mi-35s of the Nigerian airforce so u can imagine our airforce attacking chadian airspace defended by the sa-6 high altitude surface to air system NIGERIANS SHOULDN'T UNDERATE CHAD:don't believe the propanganda Nigeria army and sympatisers potray as Chad been a weak and rural country Chad has the ability to hurt nigeria very very bad if these two countries get into an armed conflict.
You are greatly underestimating Nigerian Soldiers. The Boko Haram insurgency is going on for so long because of politics, and the politics goes beyond this administration. The Military Generals and senior politicians are making huge money from the war, so they don't want it to end. If the military is really serious about ending boko haram, it will be over in 2 weeks.
Nigeria military that landed in Gambia and immediately Yahya Jammeh took to his heels, is the one you say Chad will defeat. Nigeria's weakness is corruption, tribalism and religion.
Zuorom: Even your own transcripts of what Biden said still doesn't make any sense at all. Read what you transcribed again;
" We cannot let this.. we've never allowed any crisis from the civil war, straight through to the pandemic of 17th all the way 16th, we have never never let our democracy sakes second fiddle, we can both have a democracy and elections at the same time correct the public health. "
This is completely mumbo jumbo from old joe
Compare Biden's statement to what Trump is saying here;
Transcript: “This is a very brilliant enemy. You know, it’s a brilliant enemy. They develop drugs like the antibiotics. You see it. Antibiotics used to solve every problem. Now one of the biggest problems the world has is the germ has gotten so brilliant that the antibiotic can’t keep up with it."
What da fvck is he talking about? Antibiotics, germs, for a virus infection? And this is from Dr. Trump, the chloroquine advocate. Trump's needs mental evaluation.
wowcatty: Same old propaganda no one believes anymore.
When it smells and looks like deepstate, it is!
I know it is too big for your head but you just have to learn as long as it takes you.
Deepstate is in every country of the world and even Fox news is mostly deepstate, just that it had the brilliant idea of allowing few conservatives on. If you are not a slow learner you would have heard the word RINO these are Republicans deepstate. Deepstateis have been in power since they assassinated Ab Lincoln and have killed every president that is not part of them like JFK and nearly got Reagan too. They have won hearts and minds of people whether they like it or not, people have no choice, they became the power that be.
The 5Eyes that helped to spy on Trump campaign are some countries in Europe Canada and Australia. They have to be dirty to agree to a coup of an American president.
Did you miss an India worshiping Trump's image? Even if Indian is not a deepstate Bill Gates gave India $500 million, so it can be difficult to find a few people to say anything for the deepstate for a few coin, what matters was how Trump was received with a stadium full people in India a few months ago.
You need to be taken off the streets, no joke. You have the worse case of paranoid schizophrenia I have ever seen. I wonder how those around you cope.
wowcatty: I don't know how you are able to sleep in the night knowing all you have done for the day is lie and defend lies! And as they say, liars do other evil things too!
CDC is part of deepstate, so it doesn't need to join.
Fauci sits on Bill Gates foundation board and Birx's daughter works for Bill Gates, tell me if it can get more deepstate than that. Trump knows and keeps them around anyway cos you keep your friends close and enemies closer for a reason.
Why should someone else take psychotic drugs when you are the one mad? You are the one that will be institutionalized for the rest of your life for either of these two reasons.
1. When the truth finally hits you very soon, assuming you still have 1% of your brain function.
2. When your overlords face justice, the frustration of not being able to defend them will destroy you, though I can't put it past you that you won't keep defending them no matter what, that's why you are a zombie!
Also join Indian media as part of the "deepstate". In fact every other media organisation in the world outside Fox news and the Republican party is deepstate. Here is India media on Trump;
Jeromejnr: God said where he came from in the bible.
He said, He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End.
I understand the human curiosity to try to understand all things. But I believe we have an over inflated ego of intellect. Because of what we see in our so called advancement of knowledge.
But the truth is that, we humans have no way of measuring how truly intelligent and advance we have become because we have no other intelligent race like us on other planets for instance to compare.
Now why do I say that?
Because I am sure the origin of God I gave above will not satisfy you.
But God in the bible doesnt go deeper in explaining things He knows humans wouldn't get.
There is a concept called infinite regression of things. Which is not possible and which cant be understood by the limited human mind. Infinite regression isnt possible because it still has to point to an infinite source that had no beginning.
What could be this thing or being that had no beginning?
Guess what, the Bible God is the only God in all religion to give the ultimate origin of everything. He says He is the ultimate source. No beginning before Him. You cant put that in a test tube.
In order words, the emperor is wearing invisible cloths that only the righteous can see.
Ancient Babylon started 2300 bc while Ancient greece was around 800 bc. They were no way close to each other.
You are being dishonest here. You stated that ancient Babylon started 2300 BC bit ancient Greece was around 800 BC. When can ancient Greece be said to have started? Read about the Greek dark ages which is between 1100BC - 800 BC. This was the period homer wrote about in the iliard. The 2300 BC you stated could not be said to be Babylon. That was when Babylon was a little village in the Akkadian empire. Babylon did not become an established empire until the 19th or even18th century BC. It was after the reign of Hammurabi in 1750 BC that the whole of southern Mesopotamia came to be known as Babylonia. The Babylon empire lasted until it was conquered by Cyrus the Great, king of Persia in 539 BC.
Secondly, Mr Man, you have started your assumptions again, where did you get your 98 percent of scientists from?
[/quote]Nearly all scientists (97%) say humans and other living things have evolved over time," while only 61% of the public agrees, according to a new report (PDF, p. 37) from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Asked which comes closer to their view, "Humans and other living things have evolved over time" or "Humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time," 97% of scientists responding chose the former option, as opposed to only 2% choosing the latter option; https://ncse.ngo/views-evolution-among-public-and-scientists-0 [quote]Your third statement on western education has been misunderstood by you. What is western education? Western education is 15th century. Western education has nothing to do with the foundation of Science.
So what will you call the type education in the school of medicine in Alexandra (311BC)?
Finally, I love to talk about your last argument. I.e The origin of the universe. But anyways, who told you those Atheists know about quantum fields. I have spoken with most of them. They never mention that all I hear is nothingness.
You guys keep confusing Atheism with science. Lots of Atheists don't care about science. My own first role model Tai Solarin had no idea of evolution or big bang. Atheism simply is a disbelief in God(s). There are many scientists that are theists and many theists that are scientists that accept evolution)
Jeromejnr: 1. Ancient Greece was way after the babylonian times. So Atheism is fairly new.
False statement. Ancient Greece - 12th–9th centuries BC. Ancient Babylon - 18th and 6th centuries BC Although Babylon was older by about 6 centuries, the two civilizations did overlap. How can you say a civilization that was 3000 years old fairly new? In that case which civilizations then would your consider fairly old?
3. Theory of evolution is a theory not a fact, still heavily under study. And scientists are divided on the issue. Especially biological scientist who study DNA and the process of natural selection.
Another false statement. If you paid attention during science class in secondary school, you would have known that in science a theory is an established fact. It is an hypothesis that ishe still heavily under study. Scientists are not decided on the theory of evolution, up to 98% of all scientists (natural science ) accept evolution as fact. All universities in the world teach evolution as a fact. It is a few religious fundamentalists and fringe scientists and their supporters that struggle against reason to reject the theory of biological evolution.
4. As for Church and state affairs, you speak of only Rome.(that is another argument for another time). Most of education and what we call science did not originate from Rome.
Senseless. Who says education originated from Rome? Western education originated from ancient Mesopotamia, then Babylonian, then Egypt, Greece, Rome...
6. As for your last statment again, Of course there will be religious people who do not apply logic in some matters. It doesn't negate anything. Afterall, there are many Atheists who believe everything came from nothing.
The Nothing they are talking about is not nothing in English. Nothing means something else in the quantum field. The same thing with religion, Your God came from nothing and suddenly started creation. You would say your God have always existed. Atheist scientists would also say quantum fields have always existed.
