This woman used to be really quiet and some of US thought she was working heavily behind d the scenes. Now she kinda talk too much.

Jorussia:
He didn't grant them amnesty.Yes he visited the creek,so also other leaders in d region visited the creeks.For your info,when yar adua was president, the leader of Niger delta was IBORI.

Did Ibori beg any of them to drop their weapons?

Jorussia:
Is not Yar adua that offered d militants amnesty in 2009 again?you want to gv GEJ credit for amnesty abi?

Yes. Jona was the one who visited them in the hideouts, pleaded with them to lay down the weapons and accept amnesty.

gists:
What? Are you kidding me?
I am almost certain the op has used touched-screen portable device before. How do you think those devices are made? Far more complex algorithms are simulated to test and fine-tune devices like that.
And what about airplanes? Do you think Boeing and Airbus just fix some aluminium sheets together and install turbine engines and people fly from Lagos to US in just hours? How do you think the airline companies come about the luggage weight limit for each passenger? Mathematical equations are used to simulate the aerodynamics of the plane for smooth flights, tyre pressure for take-off and landing, GPS and radio communication etc.
Do I need to talk about importance of such university knowledge as it applies to civil engineering? The third mainland bridge and the new 2nd niger bridge are not just some mixture of cement and stones. The bearing weight and stress from the waters are also calculated to determine the span, required strength and diameter/shape of the supporting pillars.

And like someone said, education obtained within the walls of the university is meant to sharpen your problem solving mind and not applicable only in engineering - very applicable in marketing, law, politics, and every human endeavor. It helps you (if harnessed and used like it should) think outside the box to solve problems.

Blame our eductional system for that question.

At least thank Jona for ur amnesty

I paste the thread for your answer but it look like you did not read it, let me paste the written here;

One of the most common reasons
skeptics reject the existence of God is
due to the presence of evil in this
universe. They reason that a perfect God
would not create a universe in which evil
exists. Skeptics claim that since God
created everything that God must have
also created evil. They even cite Bible
verses, such as:
'' I form the light, and create darkness: I
make peace,
and create evil: I the LORD do all these
things.
( Isaiah 45:7, KJV)''
'' Shall a trumpet be blown in the city,
and the people
not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city,
and the
LORD hath not done it? ( Amos 3:6, KJV)''
'' Out of the mouth of the most High
proceedeth not
evil and good? ( Lamentations 3:38)''
However, evil is not really a created
thing. You can't
see, touch, feel, smell or hear evil. It is
not one of
the fundamental forces of physics, nor
does it consist of matter, energy, or the
spatial dimensions of the universe. Still,
skeptics like to claim that God created
evil and cite the Bible to "prove" their
point. The Bible is quite clear that God is
not the author of evil and insists that He
is incapable of. doing so.
Skeptics love the KJV so much, one would
think that
they were still back in medieval England.
Use of this
translation is problematic these days,
since it uses an archaic version of
modern English, which doesn't
necessarily mean the same things today
as when it
was translated over 400 years ago. In
addition, the
KJV was produced using a limited
number of
medieval manuscripts that did not
represent the
earliest Alexandrian set of manuscripts.
WHAT DO THE MODERN TRANSLATION
SAY?
1.Isaiah 45:7.
The One forming light and creating
darkness,
Causing well-being and creating calamity;
I am the
LORD who does all these. ( Isaiah 45:7,
NASB)
I form the light and create darkness, I
bring
prosperity and create disaster; I, the
LORD, do all
these things. ( Isaiah 45:7, NIV)
Isaiah 45:7 contrasts opposites. Darkness
is the
opposite of light. However, evil is not the
opposite of peace. The Hebrew word
translated "peace" is
shampoo, which has many meanings,
mostly related
to the well being of individuals. Râ‛âh,
the Hebrew
word translated "evil" in the KJV often
refers to
adversity or calamity. There are two
forms of the
word. Strong's H7451a most often refers
to moral
evil, whereas Strong's H7451b (the form
used here)
most often refers to calamity or distress.
Obviously,
"calamity" is a better antonym of "peace"
than "evil."
2.Amos3:6.
If a trumpet is blown in a city will not the
people
tremble? If a calamity occurs in a city has
not the
LORD done it? ( Amos 3:6, NASB)
When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not
the people
tremble? When disaster comes to a city,
has not the
LORD caused it? ( Amos 3:6, NIV)
Likewise, Amos 3:6 uses the same word,
râ‛âh,
referring to calamity or disaster. the
context (a
disaster happening to a city) does not
refer to moral
evil.
3. Lamentations 3:38
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that both
calamities and good things come?
( Lamentations
3:38, NIV)
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
That both
good and ill go forth? ( Lamentations
3:38, NASB)
The King James Version of Lamentations
3:38 seems
to suggest that God speaks both good
and evil.
However, if one reads the verse in
context, the
preceding verses indicate that God does
not do or
approve of evil. The verse following
indicates that
people should not complain in view of
their sins.
What the verse really is saying that God
decrees
times of good things and times of
judgment.
Lamentations was written by Jeremiah
during a time
of judgment, when Judah had gone off
into exile.
Jeremiah was chosen by God to be the
prophet to
tell Judah to reform or be judged. The
people did
not believe Jeremiah, and, therefore, fell
under
God's judgment. In Lamentations 3:38,
the word
translated "good" is ṭôb (Strong's H2896).
The word
usually refers to good things as opposed
to bad
things. Again, râ‛âh does not refer to
moral evil, but
calamities, in this verse. Likewise, the
Bible
commentaries indicate that the verse
refers to God's
judgment based upon people's sin
Conclusion;
God is not the author of evil. However,
God does
reward and punish on the basis of good
and bad
behavior. Therefore, God does bring
judgment and
calamity (either directly or through
human
authorities) on those who rebel. God will
ultimately
judge all people, since rebels will not be
allowed in
the new, perfect creation.

Ndo.

Sorry

Pleatton,wordcat and Johnnydon.
Evil is a concept, God has nothing to do with it, man is responsible for the evil that befall him because of the choice he made.God decrees times of good things and times of judgment. God is not the author of evil.8 However, God does reward and punish on the basis of good and bad behavior. Therefore, God does bring judgment and calamity ( human authorities) .

You were giving the following to read; Jeremiah 42:10, Amos 3:6, and Isaiah 45:7, why are u going contrary to what your bible said or are you saying that you know Yahweh more than the bible writers??

And someone also said that u need to prove the existence of your god first before attributing anything to him.

johnydon22:
Exactly but that still doesnt make those actions to bear any immoral weight no matter how hard they try to justify them. . . it still remain a despicable and immoral act. . . therefore evil.

I hope they're reading

malvisguy212:
Joshua has don what he did, ok, does evil exist?

Evil remains a concept as Johnydon22 has rightly said.
Hitler and his followers justified their action in the same way you and your fellow christians justified the killing of about 42 innocent children just because they make jest of a prophet.

malvisguy212:
you are making your self and atheism look evil and heartless,hitler killed 6million Jews to you it wasn't an evil but a concept,seriously? Is this what atheism teaches you? I nod my head for you.

Joshua utterly killed and destroyed sixty cities to you it wasn't an evil but a will of god.

malvisguy212:
smh

Don't shake your head yet until you give us just ONE example of evil please.

Nonsense
Is everybody going to be gays/lesbians?

Wat we need in dis country is God divine intervation. May God help us because we d poor mass re really suffering.

What we need is not God's intervention but our politicians (lawmakers and executives) to hv enough political will to tackle corruption, fix da fuycing refineries and make sure they work to it's full capacity then let's see how the cartel or the cabal will hold the country to ransom

prewtyjulie:
Because He said He made me from dust, i believe Him n need no assurance

Because he said that you should stone to death any child who disobeyed his parents, you will do it;

How children have you killed?

frank317:
Smh .. Nairaland has turned to a Haven for foools who lack simple reasoning capability.

Should I blame this sort of thinking on religion or our fast dying educational system?

Blame it on our fast dying educational system and poverty then our government's inability to do something about it.

Probably this guy that talks abt standard is yet to read Deuteronomy 22:28-29.
