luvmijeje: If u are above 30 and u still single pls don't settle for less.I know it is easier said than done but what is the use of getting married and u re unhappy.here is the scale of preference for ladies; 1. Happily Married with a loving caring, young and well to do husband. 2. Happily married with a not so loving, not so young and not so well to do husband. 3. Marrying a widower or a divorced man with children 4. Being a second wife to an already married but caring man. 5. Being a single mother with some support from the father. 6. Being a single mother without any support from the father. 7. Remaining childless and se.xless for the rest of your life. I am sure very few ladies would choose the last option if it foretold that they would not get the first 2 options. |

Rhymeyjohn: Atheism is a mirage at its best, mental and philosophical delusion at its worse. An atheist is some one who wants to escape the reality of being held accountable for his actions. Its a state of mental ease from the guilt of a God who would hold them for their actions. No wonder the bible says,'the fool has said in his heart there is no God,they are corrupt, they have done abominable, there, there is none that doeth good God, they are corrupt, they have done abominable, there, there is none that doeth goodYour post above is an excellent description, but not of atheist but of fundamentalist religious Christians and Muslims. In fact it is opposite of atheist characteristics. It is the religious that is mentally and philosophically deluded, they live in an alternative universe, where reason and logic breaks down. In fact the fundamentalist borders on schrizomania, as they speak, talk to and hear from God, demon, devil, Jesus, Mary and a host of other imaginary friends. It is the religious that refused to be held accountable for their action, they blame the devil, demons, witches, etc, for their transgressions. Then they wipe their conscience clean by asking Jesus for forgiveness (not the person the transgressed against) and are free to continue to sin and ask for forgiveness once again. The atheist on the other hand takes responsibility for his/her failing and attempts to make amends. So just by dis-believing in your God, the atheist is corrupt (more than born again corrupt politicians), done abominable things (more abominable than child abusing priests) and is not capable of charity works. So since atheist are so vile and disgusting to you, what do you recommend be done to them; kill them all or imprison them, so they cannot continue to commit corrupt and abominable things. |

So what should the other billions of non Christians be doing with their se.xual and family life? They should either be castrated or be se.xless and childless for life. Or better still revel in funication without the worries of commitment. Are you sure your Christian sisters you support your views? |

This is the most stupid crap i had ever read on nairaland. It shows the OP and is supporters have not gone beyond the confines of his church or believe anything outside the dictates of his pastor. Even the bible have the Jews marrying people of other faiths. Were your grand parents not supposed th be married before the white men introduced Christianity? If they were not supposed to be married, how would you have come into existence. What about the billions of adherents of other faiths, they should not Marry? Then which of the Christian denomination should marry? Your particular church? Word of life churches? Catholics? other orthodox churches? Mormon church? celestial church? oluma olumba church? You statement is as stupid as saying only Christians are meant to have babies, or only Christians are meant to be buried, or only Christians are meant to pray. |

salt 1: My grandma at 90 richer or more influential than my mom at 70? We never gave that a thought but now that you say it, I think they were equally POOR!Thanks for your response, it is very matured and informative. I abhor all kinds of abuse and expoitation, whether physically or psychologically, it produces log lasting scars to victims, who usually continue the cycle by also abusing those that they exercise power over. Most of us are carrying the baggage of abuses we had suffered in the past. Even me carry some of this baggage, for example, my primary school education was torture, you cannot afford to forget any of the recital we were forced to cram. If you miss a single line of the times table we were forced to recite every morning, the evidence would be visible with scars on your back, and i still have many scars to show for many forgetfulness of the times table. As a parent i also suffer from impatience when teaching my 4 year old kid, that i sometimes slap him uncontrollably for mis-spelling some words. On many occasions i tried to control myself, but i can't, so most of the time i tell my wife to help our son with his home work. So i concur with you that the African society is very harsh, especially to perceived failures, thereby leading to a psychological cycle of abuses and emotional trauma. That was why i said we need to start embracing psychological medicine. 2 Likes |

salt 1: At 90, my grandma was still slapping my 70year old mom and calling her a naughty child. She also covered my mouth with a slap once.your 90 yr old granny slapping your mum at 70? Was that a disciplinary measure, training or show of affection also? From the above it simply meant that your granny was richer and more influential than your mum. Because we Africans love to subjugate and dominate those we have power over. That is why a police corporal would slap those he feels he has power over. If your mum was a first lady, a senior government official or a successful business woman, your granny would not dear insult your mum not to talk of slapping her. 1 Like |

I am very disappointed reading comments from fellow nigerians, especially the youth claiming it is ok or acceptable to be physically abused by parents. It is even more shocking to claim that physically hitting a 23 year old adult is discipline, training and love. Any parents that could not instill discipline on his child by the age of 20 has failed, because permanent character traits have formed by that age. Physically abusing young adults to me is a sign of mental laziness, psychological disorder and weakness. It just shows someone who is trying to dominate those who seems weak and vulnerable. Such person would not be able to stand up to those in superior positions. Young adults needs to realize they are adults and leaders of today not tomorrow. At 23, they could be in leadership position leading people their parents age. So it makes no sense for them to cower or tremble before parents or their age group. What a parent should crave from their children is respect and love, not fear and domination. No wonder the general population take and accept abuse from elders, politicians, religious leaders, etc. 4 Likes |

Sorry for your ordeal, but i will tell you the bitter truth, you mum needs to see a shrink. It is pity psychological medicine is non existent in Nigeria, if it is in the west, your mum would definitely need some sessions at the psychiatrist. She has lots of bottled up issues, it might have to do with a traumatic childhood or a traumatic marriage, but she is taking her emotional revenge on you with her mood swings. It is not about the hot coffee as she cannot drink scalding coffee anyway but have to wait for it to cool down before she can even sip it. Even if the coffee was not hot enough, a simple instruction to re-heat it is more reasonable than a slap. She has serious issues and i think she needs help. You, also need psychological help. First you are being emotionally and physically abused, and if you do not get your dignity and confidence back, it would affect the type of relationship you would establish in the future with your husband and children. I wonder why at 23; you are so materially, emotionally and socially dependent on your mother. You should be very busy building social relationships and a Career to be around your mum 24/7. In this age, you need little money to start a business, instead you are waiting on mum to but you everything. Why would she not treat you as a troublesome teenager? I do not advice you to move with your dad. I believe the devil you know is far better than the angel you do not know. How do you think your fathers new wife would treat you, i am sure it would be worse than your mum. My candid advice to you is to manage the situation like a troublesome marriage until you can assert your independence. |

Logicboy03: Easy....Easy bro....calm down!And you think the average nigerian fundamentalist Muslim or Christian can differentiate between a humanist and anti-religious message? You want D'banj to commit professional suicide. I doubt D'banj is religious, but in Nigeria you have to freign religiously to be accepted politically, professionally or socially, else they would label you illuminati, ogboni or devil worshipper. I have a secret to reveal, i know a G.O. of a popular church who says he does not believe in hell, heaven or God, but he preaches these same concept every Sunday to his congregation. He is stupendous rich with fleets of cars and houses. |

Logicboy03: [size=18pt]Looking for atheists in Nigeria[/size]i am sorry to say but i do not agree with your plan, message or methodology. I do not believe in "evangelizing" to bring people into atheism. You will only attract hatred, suspicion and sometimes harm. Although i would love to see atheist come together and promote some specific humanist agenda, seeking to deconvert religious people is not it. Achieving atheism is like achieving buddhahood(enlightenment), it is a gradual and sometimes painful process. It is not easy to leave the comfort zone religion had provided from childhood and take a plunge into the uncertain uncomfortable world of non belief. Atheism is a state of self realization. Theses homeless children you plan to use for your campaign, what are you providing for them? Are you going to provide them with a home, education, food? Because them promoting your atheist campaign would definitely estracize from the ultra-religious nigerian society, where children suspected of witch craft are murdered. My own idea about promoting atheism is to present the facts pertaining to how the universe works and histories of the various religions, and let people who are interested read and decide for themselves. That was how Carl Sagan did it. The key to fighting religious fanatism is education, education and education. 4 Likes |

Now to the topic at hand after debunking the lie that the big b.ang theory( or any other scientific theory) has no evidence to back it. A people create a God that reflect the attributes of the people that created it. It reflect the physical appearance, language, culture, psychology and aspirations of the the creators of the God. Apart from the power of creation and control of nature attributed to these Gods, they are usually not different in nature from powerful tribal kings. It is conquest that is usually responsible for spreading the influence of a God beyond the society that created it. Of course a conquered people would be subservient to its conquerors in terms of religion, culture, language and everything else. Also, the temperament of a God reflects its creators. A peaceful and loving people would create a peaceful and loving God, a war-like and vengeful people would create a wicked and vengeful God, and vain and greedy people would create a vain and materialistic God. |

davidylan: It appears when you cannot answer a question you revert to adhominems and irrelevancies. How has the above answered the very question that you quoted?it is you that brings adhominems and irrelivances when you argue on the exact meaning of empirical and then accuse others of irrelivances when you mis-define matter. I will just give you some compelling evidence for the big bang theory. Here is a link to learn further http://cmb.physics.wisc.edu/polar/ezexp.html the link provides just 3 evidences, ie, the inflation of the universe, the background radiation left over as as result of the big b.ang and the composition and ratio of the primary constituent elements of hydrogen, helium and dueterium. there are other evidences, but let start from here. |

davidylan: even though your only scientific proof of an alternative creation is a man blowing a balloon with stars painted on it and a telescope?Please quit trying to pass up the Jewish/babylonian creation myth as an alternative theory to scientific cosmology. The alternative to the biblical creation stories are other creation myths like the yoruba or Japanese creation myth. There are so many proofs to scientific cosmology that this medium would not be able to expanciate on them, but the most direct proof of planetary formation can be seen directly by powerful telescopes like hubble, which is able to take pictures of planets in other systems in various stages of formation. The illustration of the man blowing balloon can never be termed proof, it is just an illustration to explain a scientific fact. About your definition of matter, i am ashamed for you. How can a PHD holder define matter as anything that has space and volume. Even the very basic JSS definition of matter defines matter as anything that has MASS and occupies space. Then to make things worse, you that claims to be an English language puritan do not understand that volume and space means the same thing. |

davidylan: Ok it seems you dont even understand the terms you use so let me help you... Miriam Webster defines "empirical" as "relying on experience or observation alone often without due regard for system and theory <an empirical basis for the theory>"David, you have started to cluch straws again. You asked for empirical facts to support the big b.ang theory, i presented the fact that the universe is inflating, therefore the inflation would have started at a point in time and space. You then decided to fly of the handle by arguing off point on Webster's definition of empirical. So what type of empirical facts are you looking for? That we should be there to witness the big b.ang? I am sorry to say, but you sometimes argue like you have never opened a science text book in your life. No science book says galaxies started to expand, it is space that started to expand, and galaxies did not form until much later after the big b.ang, Quakers, formed first, then galaxies and stars. If you want further evidence of our inflating universe, get a telescope and a spectrometer. Just measure the red shifts of various galaxies in the sky to confirm that the further a galaxy is from us, the faster it is receding away from us. |

Carl Sagan was my number one mentor. His Tv series "the cosmos" had a profound influence on my life. It got me interested in science and the universe we live in. He explained the universe like you teach ABC to a child. I am eternally grateful to him. I wish the cosmos series can be brought back to our TV so that the youth can begin to have a glimpse of what our universe looks like. My favourite of the series is the one called encyclopedia galactic, in which Carl sagan took us on a tour of the universe. |

Ortarico: You don't have any point and stop confusing yourself in the name of atheism. What do you understand by the English proverb that "Life is not a bed of roses"? So, you think man should wax in enjoyment for the rest of his life? Haba!. . . Go and read the book of Genesis on God's initial plan(s) for man were it not for his bad free choices.The post above contain the most senseless reasoning i have ever come across. What do you mean life is not a bed of roses, is that a law promulgated by YHWH, so as to keep his adherents suffering and smiling? No wonder Christianity is popular among millions of poor deprived people in sub Saharan Africa. In Europe, especially in Scandinavian countries, life is indeed a bed of roses. Even in capitalist Britain, life is a bed of roses for the royal family and the aristocrats. It is only with the common man that life might not be too comfortable a bed of roses. So what was YHWH's initial plan for man? And who interfered with the plan of the all powerful omnipotent, omniscient, omnieverything else YHWH. Was man to acquire knowledge according to this plan? What about everlasting life (immortality)? Why did he have to guard the tree that would have given man immortality? Then what kind of free choice did your YHWH give man? Obey me and worship me 24/7 or face condemnation and eternal punishment. And that is your definition of freewill. I think York God should have created robots, because even monkeys would not obey such freewill commands. So who have the power to stop evil - man or God? Because if man has the power to stop evil while your God cannot, then man is more powerful than your God |

davidylan: It cost $1.8bn to create that "sun" that flashed for only 1 billionth of a second. I wonder who sponsored the creation of the sun and how much it would have cost.Mr David, this is the reason i quarrel with you regarding yourself as a scientist, you reason more like a theologian. As a scientist, you should know that modeling a phenomenon in the lab is good enough to understand what happens in nature. So modelling a fusion reaction in a bottle can be extrapolated to understand how the sun works. This is in response to believers who claim the way the sun works is a mystery. How long do you expect the "sun" created in the lab to flash for? Even if the whole mass of the earth were to be used for fusion reaction, it would flash for only about 30,000 years, given that the sun is about 330,000 more massive than the earth and is expected to flash for about 10billion years. So you should not expect a few kilogram of hydrogen fusion experiment in a lab to last for more than a few Nano seconds. if an experiment cannot be repeated in the lab, you would disparate science as faith based belief(eg. Evolution), and if an experiment is proovable in a lab, you would still complain that the experiment was not performed at the same scale and exact conditions as that found in nature, so your faith based convictions is therefore automatically valid. Na wa o. And you still claim to be a scientist that perform lab experiments. |

Then answer the, why did you believe in electron you have never seen?what are you saying here, i can not make a single sense of what you wrote up there.

I have not really followed this thread but i am impressed by the actions of people taking action to bring a suspected fraudster to book. It shows that the mentality of the average nigerian is slowly changing. We are legendary for accepting injustice with an attitude of helplessness and leaving everything to god. If we take action against thieves, fraudster, corrupt government officials, etc, our lives would change for the better very quickly. Some suggestions i would propose is for victims of this woman to go to efcc and write a petition to the director of operations, at awolowo road, ikoyi lagos. They might be slow, but they are expert at handing this kind of case. Her various websites can be reported to ICANN(i think) and her websites would be pulled down. I wish you guys luck. |
