All the land on earth is same age. It's human beings that are just naming countries as they like. The land was here first

Please stop advertising your ignorance. All the lands on earth are not the same age. Some new lands are forming right now, while others are disappearings in the oceans.
Even in the article, the site was said to be underwater millions of years ago. Even the Sahara desert was under the ocean some 7 million years ago.

uuzba:
Answer is surely in YouTube, with graphs and data etc .

Please provide links where something more than 100,000 years is dated using the carbon 12 isotope.

emmanuelpopson:
radiocarbon dating...using the C-12 compound that is found in the fossil to calculate the date..

Carbon dating can only be used to date something not more than 50,000 years. Other methods are used to date objects much older.

Dating something millions of years is done by analysing the rock formations or sediments (strata) in which it is found.

You are a compound idiot. So South Sudan demanded a country inside your mother's pot of soup abi?

South Sudan got independence after 22 years of civil war and cries of genocide against the South Sudanese. Are you guys ready for 2 to 3 decades of civil war?

FIDELISFIDECENT:
Confusion everywhere... How old is this world?
How old is the Planet Earth?
How old is America?

You are the one that seems more confused. This world is the planet earth, I don't understand how you can seperated the 2.
This world, planet earth is estimated to be about 4.5 billion years old.
America viz a viz the United States of America was created or got their independence in 1776, so it's 243 years old. Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas in 1492, that's 527 years ago.

Science is another institution of lies.
Who counted these million years?

The institution of lies that brought you the phone you are using to browse the Internet right now and to talk to someone on the opposite side of the earth in real time.

The institution of lies that is able to fly up in a plane and even space and help cure seemingly incurable diseases.
Why not reject all this institution of lies have to offer and live strictly on the institution of truth - your church or mosque?

Okuda:
born again christian my foot. did the people of God not fight to be liberated from the hands of pharoah? abi no be God send moses again? is it a sin? is it a crime?

Forget that myth, there is no record or prove that the Israelites were ever enslaved by any Egyptian pharoah, except the bible. The Egyptians were meticulous record keepers going back thousands of years. Each pharoah records and most times exaggerate their conquests. If an Egyptian an pharoah conquered and enslaved the Israelites, he would certainly boast of it.

MICHEALADEX:
You mean his pedophile father... Mother 67 and son 52

I am shocked at this fact, this is someone that will not let us rest calling Buhari a pedophile for marrying Aisha. It means kanu was born when the mother was 15 years old. When did she get pregnant, when did the father start sleeping with her?

isthatso:
true but the real difference is that at state level he will award a contract for 100m for 200m and they will add another 200m. you will get a shoddy 100m job that they billed the govt 400m for and you will be shouting eko o ni baje. If the monies that accrued to lagos were truly spent judiciously lagos will not be where it is today. Let's not forget just like that profilgate GEJ, Fashola also beenfited from High federal allocation and IGR.


PS; i am still waiting for you to name Fashola's achievements as minister both of power and of works. Just tell me this is the road Fashola completed., this is the amount of MW that was added to the grid under his administration. Everything else is just emotion. What has he done! i dont need excuses. Amaechi also faces the same senate!!

God bless you. I see no much difference between fashola and Jonathan. The both had the highest resources of any previous government but make so much noise for mediocre achievements.

Carlmax:
Are you saying Jonathan government paid nothing for the bridge? please provide links to educate us.

https://dailypost.ng/2018/04/14/doyin-okupe-makes-15-shocking-revelations-second-niger-bridge/

Nobody said Jonathan paid nothing for the bridge.
What you said is;

Awol1:
What that means, as I remember president GEJ saying then, is that once the govt pays it's counterpart fund for the project, which Jonathan did , the project will go on irrespective of who is in power.

We are asking you to show evidence that Jonathan did pay FG's counterpart funds for the project, and so the projects would go on irrespective of who is in power, and you now changing tone by now taking about paying nothing.

So it took you two days to dig this thrash out?

Is it that you cant read or you can't comprehend? In the first link, there was no where it said Jonathan has paid anything for the project not to talk of paying 50% of the project.

These are the relevant quotes from the first link;

Jonathan promised that the landmark project being executed by Julius Berger would be completed in four years at a total cost of over N117 billion.

He told the guests at the ceremony that the project will be executed under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement for a period of 25 years.

Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, explained that the project would be 60 per cent equity and 40 per cent debt, adding that the financing model being proposed would be a template for the development of economically viable projects in the country.

These are the relevant quotes from the second link;

The project is being constructed under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme. A Consortium JB-NSIA, is working on the project on the basis of Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT), at a total cost of N108 billion. The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) reviewed the concessionaire’s cost of N138 billion down to N108 billion. The project phases will be constructed under Engineering, Procurement and Construction contracts awarded by the Federal Ministry of Works (FMW).

The Federal Government committed to contribute N30 billion (28%) of the project cost. The remaining 72% will be raised by the Consortium under a 25-year concession. The Federal Government has so far committed N18.31billion. Out of this, N10.4 billion has been disbursed leaving a balance of N7.94 billion. A team of local and international consultants was engaged through a rigorous and competitive procurement process. The NSIA has spent the sum of $2.21 million on consultancy and another $247,586 on due diligence to determine project viability The first-class advisory services are required to enable the project reach financial close – the point at which private capital is successfully raised.

Now this is the stage of Works as at April 28 2018;

Second Niger Bridge’s main work’ll cost N210bn – FG
Published Apr 28, 2018 at 5:30am


Okechukwu Nnodim, Abuja


The main construction of the Second Niger Bridge will cost N210bn, the Federal Government announced on Friday.


It also stated that the construction work of the bridge would be awarded in about two months’ time as the memo for its procurement would be sent to the Bureau of Public Procurement next week.

The main bridge, which has a length of 1.59 kilometres, forms part of the 11.9km length of the entire Second Niger Bridge project that comprises four sections namely: Asaba road, toll plaza, bridge and Onitsha road.

The bridge links Delta and Anambra states, but the entire road project traverses a lot of communities in these states.


The Director of Highways, Bridges and Design, Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, Sogbesan Adetokunbo, stated that the activities currently ongoing at the project site were mainly early works, adding that the construction of the main bridge would soon commence.

When asked what it would take to complete the main bridge and the projected completion date, Adetokunbo replied, “It should be completed within two years and the cost to do this at the current rate is about N210bn. Please note that this is for the main bridge work.”

He emphasised that the procurement for the main bridge would start soon and that a memo on it would be sent to the Federal Executive Council for approval, after getting a no objection response from the BPP.

Providing a brief history of the project, Adetokunbo said, “ Early works 1 to 3 have been completed. Early work 1 comprises the design of the road, soil investigation, preliminary drawing and final engineering drawings. Early works 2 and 3 are at the Asaba end, while early work 4, which is ongoing, is at the Onitsha end.

“So, early works 1, 2 and 3 are 100 per cent completed, while early work 4 is about 45 per cent completed. But the main work, which is the main bridge, is at the point of procurement. The estimates have been concluded, a memo has been written to the BPP for no objection, and thereafter, a memo will be sent to FEC for approval.”

To some people even if Buhari build their fathers house from start to finish, they would complain and say Jonathan thought of it first, and built it in his dreams.

isthatso:
Only a fool will open his mouth condemning Amaechi and praising FAshola. FAshola is a monumental failure considering the hype and Amaechi is no doubt the best minister we’ve had since 1999.....bar none! I speak as a Yoruba man. Name a major project FAshola has finished, all he does is go on TV speaking English and theory..if this, then that...deliverables nothing. In the time Amaechi delivered Lagos Ibadan rail from scratch, FAshola has barely improved on what he met on Lagos Ibadan express.

I Concur 100%.

Xavfra:
U're saying trash....
Nnamdi Kanu is only asking dat we divide this country because it is not in the interest of the people of Nigeria and....that we shud defend ourselves...
Only u know where u got this ur fake info from....

And MNK never called for genocide against any people...
So pls stop spewing trash and fake info here

I will say it again and again and again, until is sinks into the head of Kanu's worshippers; kanu has no right and not in any position to ask that we divide. He has no political or moral authority to demand anything. It's the political and traditional rulers of igboland that has the authority to demand such. If kanu want to acquire the authority to represent the igbo, he needs to apply for elective office and then be bestowed on such authority.

Xavfra:
Radio Biafra was set up only to educate the ignorant..... Radio Biafra serves as an eye opener.....

Yes. It was set up by Ralph Uwazuruike to educate the ignorant and promote Biafra, but Kanu turned it into Yoruba, Hausa Fulani, Buhari and Nigeria (sorry zoo) bashing enterprise.

Awol1:
They are working so hard to gather points they'd consider enough to curry the Eastern votes in 2023.

But hey, I think I need to remind us that the Second Niger bridge was commissioned as Public Private Partnership Project.

What that means, as I remember president GEJ saying then, is that once the govt pays it's counterpart fund for the project, which Jonathan did, the project will go on irrespective of who is in power.

That's the truth they don't want us to remember.

Show us evidence president jonathan paid counterpart funds for the project and how much?

Lists are for gifts to be presented by the intending groom to the family of the bride, for taking their daugher away. The gifts are shared among the bride's family. This is accompanied by the bride price to be paid at the wedding ceremony.
So the guy in question must call your dad to ask for the list and negotiate a bride price.

suprememoney:
I'm not from the East, but please can we just allow those who are fighting for their right to do so in peace? Why the hatred? I'm not against them. It's always my earnest desire to see their wish granted. Moreover, of what use/benefit is the unity of Nigeria to some tribe?

Please lets live our life and allow others live theirs. Peace

They started the hatred and others are just responding in kind. Radio Biafra was set up primarily to promote hatred against Buhari, Fulani, Yorubas, Northern muslims, Yorubas muslims, Niger delta tribes that refuse Biafra, other igbos that don't agree with kanu's agitation or methods.

All these groups of people are just responding to past ipobs insults.

FrLukas:
They like fooling themselves.

I'm sure the op doesn't know how one million people standing look like.

12 million ko, 50 million ni.

One million ke? Do you know what one million people at a single venue looks like? Old Trafford (man United stadium ) has a capacity of 76,000.

IPOB and exaggeration is like wet and water.

The dangerous aspect of Corona Virus is that potential infected persons have the highest risk of transferring the virus to other people.

Personal isolation, just as the government is doing is one of the best ways to curb the spread.

But, they may never understand, hence their reason for protesting against it.

One can only hope that this doesn't hit Africa or Nigeria in particular, because it will wipe out virtually millions of people, because of our ignorance, poor hygiene, and poor healthcare infrastructure.

I doubt it will be a problem for us. First the virus is very virulent but it's not so deadly, of the over 40,000 people infected with the coronavirus, only less than 1000 has died, that's less than 2.5 fatality rate. It kills mainly the very young or the very old with weak immune system. Just like other flu like viruses, a person with strong immune system usually recover after a few days or weeks rest.

The virus is not seen anywhere in Africa. The virus is is Spain but not across the river to Morocco. That's strange.
It seems the virus dey fear Africa as him seniors like ebola, Lassa and denge dey claim omonile for there

Except you are privy to the autopsy I.e if it was ever done then you can conclude he used it.Though that's not enough proof..
Now to logic, why remove many tablets? to suggest DRUG Abuse.
Now tell us why he won't finish a sachet before jumping to another?

OK. Many partially opened sachets is proof of murder.

Coolcalmcollect:
my friend you watch too much Hollywood, so they should tell the girl goodbye we will be calling you when we need you abi and she will stay and be waiting?

You need to leave the confines of your village and see what's obtain in a normal society or ask a lawyer on the laws pertaining to arrests in Nigeria. According to the law, the police cannot hold a person for more than 24hrs without charging the case to the courts. The concept of locking people up for months with you think is normal is not. The problem is poor people without money or influence are the ones suffering illegal detentions in Police cells.

including a mans Hole?

Yes man's hole in extreme cases like prison where there are no contacts with women for years. That's why conjugal visits are allowed for married men in prison.

Is this punishment for their crimes? Have they been convicted before the punishment?

Hmmn...I have read some comments concluding that the man used those drugs.What if he wasn't the one who used those drugs?
A little reasoning would tell you the story may not be true.
Why would he be picking those tablets like that.I mean why would anybody pick say 3 tablets from 3 different sachets of the same drug when a sachet contains about 6? Is it not possible the blackmailers just bought those drugs, hurriedly removed some and displayed it thus?
Another assumption, let's pretend he carries the unfinished sachets about.Will he keep all those displayed in his bag?Is he not thinking someone could find those in his bag?
The rebuttal sef is suspect. ...e resemble wetin the blackmailers fit do.

I am not exonerating anyone, but according to your logic, why would blackmailers remove 3 tablets from 3 different sachets of the same drug? If they wanted to make it look like a set up, would they not just remove many tablets from the same sachets? You forgot to tell me what happened to the missing tablets. Was the Sildenafil found in the stomach and blood of the decreased or he is clean, or you speculate he was forced fed the Sildenafil tablets.

wonder233:
There is a plethora of motives: he was a lawyer who took on cases, let's start from there. I haven't seen the toxicology report, and I know you haven't too. No one has. All we have is a salacious video. You are so inclined to accept the video as the gospel. The video tells me nothing, rather, I see lots of clues and loopholes. But you're a typical Nigerian, simple minded and gullible,
too lazy to prod... Eager to do the "Lets just leave it like that"

You see enough clues from the video to conclude murder and prove the case beyond reasonable doubt in a law court. You must be greater than sherlock Holmes and Einstein put together.

Coolcalmcollect:
so the best way to go is to release her while all these investigation you listed is on going abi?

In a sane society you don't arrest and lock up someone unless you have enough evidence to take the case to court. It's only in Nigeria do the police arrest and lock you up first and then start fishing for evidence.

Coolcalmcollect:
there's nothing emotional there, you're the one been emotional. They caught her with a dead man and you ask dat she be released cos the man dead of drug usage....lol what if she forces the drugs down his throat or drinks? even if she didn't do dat, for the fact they had sex and he died, she has a case to answer in the law. that why when you punch someone and the person dies of heart attack they will hold you as the killer even tho he died of natural causes, but na you make the natural causes come faster.

This your attitude which I must confess is the attitude of the typical Nigerian is the reason our society would never progress beyond the primitive stage. You cannot assume a crime with assumed evidence. That's why we have a police, to investigate if a crime has been commited and present the evidence in court for prosecution.

Yes, he is speculated to have died while having sex with her, which is not a crime. There is no evidence she punched him or any violence is involved. The next thing the family and the Police should do is to wait for the results of the autopsy including a full toxicology report. It is from there the police can determine if she has a case to answer or not.
Being on the same room with a dead body does not make you a murderer.

wonder233:
Fake news.
This fellow has no connection with the family.
The new format now in Nigeria is to murder someone and quickly do a video insinuating some salacious details, And boom! Your tracks are covered for ever!. He who puts out a video first successfully controls the narrative of a highly gullible and simpleminded public.

Everyone assumes the people talking in the background of the video are policemen...But was anybody on police uniform actually seen in that video?
How convenient they knew were to look and find the drugs.
How convenient the deceased had an entire pharmacy of the aphrodisiac on him (to make it look believable). ... They over did it and shot themselves in the foot.

How convenient the so-called hooker who said she didn't have idea of time, clearly knew it was 5am they had intercourse. And after sleeping, still woke up at around 5am... Oh, and that was after being prodded to say "him tey for my body".

People say the police released this video to clear the so called hooker's name... How laughable!
Now the same people are releasing statements purportedly from "the family" they "agree" the man took those drugs and died.
Who is controlling this script behind the scene?

Remember this man is a lawyer and he has been said to be involved in some high profile cases..

You already find the hooked guilty even before Police concluded their investigation? You making an accusation of murder, do you even know what that means. Are you aware that someone is deemed innocent until proven otherwise and not the other way as practiced in Nigeria?

To prove murder, you have to first prove pre meditation, then prove motif and then provide the murder weapon. So sherlock Holmes, what's the motif - theft/robbery or jealously? What's the murder weapon - the found aphrodisiacs? I am sure you have seen the toxicology reports. Have the men you deem as accomplices been interrogated and locked up?

Coolcalmcollect:
if it were your dad I'm sure you will even print a thank you for your service card for the girl.

I hate senseless emotional rants. Was it the girl that killed their father? Will keeping the girl locked up indefinitely help relieve the pain of their fathers death?

There is a difference between doing the right or reasonable thing and being ruled by emotions. We men are expected to be guided by reason.

One of the disadvantage of marrying a career woman, she's a director with CBN........such women always has timetable for sex, meanwhile men's body system wasn't designed like that........a man should have sex when he has the urge, not waiting for Saturday timetable.

My brother, I no understand o. How can a husband been living in Benin and the wife in Abuja, and you expect the man not to have sex. How do they expect him to satisfy his urge? Mastùbate, sex doll?
It seems women don't understand the physiology and psychology of men. Sometimes, around early morning, a man might experience a rush of hormones, which will make his dick as hard as rock. He has to find a way to relieve the tension. Most times emptying the bladder helps. Sometime cold water helps. Sometimes, the man just needs a hole - any hole.

maasoap:
Nothing Musa no go see for Egypt! Will the transport money for her come from the deceased's account too? As an appreciation for for her role in the story that ended well for the family. Clowns everywhere

I agree that that is the most humane thing to do. Since the family knows that the girl is innocent (of murder) and the Police would exploit the girl to extract "bail" from her. The dead man might not have even paid for her services before giving up the ghost. Conscience demand that the family should have at least ensure she is realised from Police custody. Given her poor looks, she could remain in Police custody for years.
