Education / Re: Could This Be The Reason Afticans Are Left Behind In Science And Technology? by kumulus(m): 8:18am On Sep 02, 2022
henrybangs44:
It is a thing of concern for me that Africans always tag new science discoveries as "lies" even before understanding.

Why are Africans always concluding that scientists are liars?
We believe in tagging someone a witch which we can't prove, but after seeing the evidence of what science can do literally all around us we still find it difficult to comprehend scientific ideas and methods even so called science students or practioners.

Why do we believe more in spiritual things than we can't prove than things we can clearly see?

Don't get me wrong...I'm not saying spiritual things don't exist...but it's easier to believe in science than spiritual things. I just feel we tag everything we can't understanding as "spiritual " because we don't want to put our brains to work..that's why we are still here with all our "spiritual beings"


Ignorance is bliss!!

What is imbalance are you talking about, are southerners prevented from getting passport anywhere in the north? You people claim you are educated but yet complain and cry more than us. I explained that it was due to the rush by lits of southerners that was why the price was raised to discourage Japa.

Please check the cost of a return ticket from Lagos to sokoto, add the cost of the passport and tell your total.

Do your own research. Go to immigration website and see the prices for yourself. Don't be like zombies. You have a phone and internet. Come back nd tell us if the prices is diffrent or same.


You clearly haven’t used yours, you should follow your own advice.

I doubt it is 'Northerners' who fixed those prices. You'll be shocked to find out it's fellow Southerners who ensured the higher prices in their zones were fixed in order to generate more revenue for their offices.

If not for this user who discovered the discrepancy and voiced out, were there no Southerners in the NIS who knew of this?

This pattern cuts across basically all sectors and aspects of life. Inflation of prices, extortion in the guise of government officials, land-grabbing, etc These are 'normal' in the South and sadly, more are adopting these as a way of life, with the number of sane, straightforward people progressively diminishing.

'them too get sense', 'them too wise' , they no dey carry last' - these are a few of the conjectures used as excuses to condone dishonourable ways of living amongst sane people.


Abeg leave Northerners. Wetin concern them with how much Una charge una selves for una State?
Go to most of the immigration offices in the South to process the passport and see if you won't pay multiples of the 35k.





Someone in one of the Southern offices told me it’ll cost 150k for renewal, I was almost shocked rn when I saw the price is 70k. To even think he made it clear there’s no express application anymore as it’s the system that’ll generate dates for me….these crop of Nigerians sickens me to be candid, this shit is draining…

Apexter0001:
your spirit is who you are, your sense of self and from which you accept and comfortable with your whole being and existence

Your spirit forms up your personality, that is the bedrock of your personality
Through your personality we are able to communicate with your spirit
Your Personality is your characteristics pattern of thinking, feeling and behaving
Your spirit is the non physical part of you, which is the sit of emotions and character, the soul


A man may possess a handful of spirit in his lifetime but has a single soul throughout his sojourn. @bolded; you agree personalities change. Your thinking, feeling and resultant behavior from either or both of the former have no permanence. They’re all fleeting at best.

Hence, we can both agree also that an individual behaves/live according to the spirit he/she possess or in such cases; that possess the one.


If you see now that spirit and soul aren’t exactly the same, what is spirit?

Being a transgender is not something you just choose or being influenced by environmental factor it entails on nature not nurture

There is no physical bodies or organs involved in thinking one is being trapped in the wrong body but it has to do with the hormones, spirit and personality of the person involved

What is spirit and what forms the core of a personality?

Kobojunkie I don't believe this addiction is a mental illness. The OP and others like him always know what they are doing, it is greed pure and simple like he said. It is greed and love for quick money, there's nothing mentally amiss with him.


It’s a mental illness/disease. It’s easy to say he knows what he’s doing but the truth is he doesn’t. Greed is a fruit of lust, in this case he keeps desiring an imagined pot of gold in a non existent time (when the game wins). If he’ll only understand the future is but an uncertain reality, i.e elements may/may not converge in favour of his hopes (expectation is a path that often can lead to disappointment, hence we say hope is not a strategy).

I disagree with the last part of your submission, isn’t it obvious even to the blind that the OP here is not in charge of his mental estate? The domain of authority in any sane man should have ONLY two occupants; himself and his maker (You and I).
[/b]
To the OP; know who is who on your land(Psalm 24:1), take charge and be observant of what seeds are sown(Matthew 13:28) and nourished on it (Prov 4:23) for in due time they’ll bear fruits.

Your current situation/condition are the fruits from the seeds sown on your estate, you’ve nourished and watered it over the years, I must say you’ve been very diligent at tending to your vineyard. This is simply you feasting on your bountiful harvest, if truly you find these fruits distasteful and unhealthy, [b]the axe is in your hand;
lay it down or put it to the trunk and strike down the evil tree that produces fruits of wickedness.

“Suffer not the evil to live”

Peace upon you!

Often the realization hits, the reality is in our faces and always had been. Indeed we know the truth of our situations and conditions most times, we are not oblivious…humans just inherently exhibits a trait of non-acceptance.

No matter what anyone here tells you, the truth is unable to change you/your situation except you first accept it. It’s the law.

There are many ways that houses a built here. The most common is that you pick a design in a development and add the extras you want, then they build it. In one of my recent videos I showed the estate that my brother lives in, and you can see the houses and how they have almost same designs.

About investment in the US, you will have to Google that. About about stocks, just buy only stocks in companies in the S&P 500 list for now until you get really good at it. Next learn about technical analysis, when you do, come back and I will give you a setup for you to test.


Do you trade?

Attraction is important my dear.
It will be difficult to be intimate with someone you are not attracted to, and that could be the beginning of the ending of the marriage.

I remember when I was in a relationship like that, we could be walking to somewhere and I'll be at the front why she might be behind lolz, its crazy you know and that's what even break the relationship.

But most importantly, Have you prayed concerning him, whether he's truly the one for you?

Don't just look at his pocket or his work, all those ones can pack up at anytime. But if you have confirmation from God that he's the one, then go ahead with him, all you need to do is to pray to God to make him look very attractive to you, I'm sure you'll be surprise at what God will do, you might not even want him to leave your side again lolz!
I wish you all the best!

@OP from all you wrote up there you are not ready for marriage, don’t rush yourself. What you should be looking for now is an identity, find your truth and it’ll bless you in every way.

Attraction is important as many have opined but the big question is what are you attracted to. Do they matter? Why do they matter?? Will they matter in another 10-20years

Remember, reality fades!

What’s really going on on NL lately? I have noticed how some persons just create new monikers and concoct all sorts of stories to generate traffic.

What I find baffling is how other users start responding/reacting to same made up craps without noticing they’re just spending their most precious resources on a futile cause.

Is this NL’s new mode of generating daily traffic or is it just some dimwits way of “catching cruise”??

Whatever it is, it’s some wicked shit that needs to stop. NL users should stop enabling this nonsense behaviors, it’s abasing.


NL has become thrash lately tbh

ist of all Obi wont win, secondly i am sure she has acquired American citizenship, so she is ineligible for any political post in Nigeria. Thirdly why is she even qualified for minister of education, what does she know about the education system?

Has she been a teacher or owned a school? has she ever managed anything, any organisation? she writes novels...so fucking what? how does that qualify her to direct the affairs of our education sector? you people dont think right!!!


The poster you quoted may be right. Chi is a a writer, a prolific one at that. If there are people capable of dreaming new possibilities and birthing new and effective systems, it’s people like her.

Our collective world is built and rebuilt on the back of efforts tied to dreams.

I’m sure her vision is sharp and her resources are quite fresh….

Not true. Delivering good speeches doesn't mean having excellent leadership skill. Amanda may make a good information minister or minister of arts and culture, not necessarily education.

We need experienced people with excellent track record and someone to manage them well (young and intelligent president) if we are to salvage this sinking ship.


More importantly, we need fresh ideas not just track record. If we are to consider track record, we all know what records we have so far….. Posterity forbids we repeat same madness!

Trust time to fix it, IF it needs fixing. That’s why it’s called a trend….trends change because patterns change.

Is it worse or better? You’ll agree it depends on the narrative, particularly, whose narrative?

Worry not, worry never fixed a thing….only made it worse.

The testetorone hormones in men is depleting and fast being replaced by Ostrogen hormones!

Just yesterday, I read on a site, where a lady was complaining that her boyfriend is using her Mary Kay brown Powder and lip stick with her and she finds this awkward and irritating and she is considering a break up!
Guys now wearing different body piercing especially nose and ear piercing (how absurd embarassed) And gosh I hate men on hair bonnets angry!!! !!!

Men clothes are fast becoming Feminine and they seems to be cool with it. . . I am just scared for the future Generations of our Sons and brothers!

I am just a concerned lady, who finds this new change of fashion and lifestyle Awkward, Absurd and Not cool! Thanks!

Culture / Re: Misuzulu KaZwelithini: New Zulu King Had To Kill This Lion To Become Monarch by kumulus(m): 11:05am On Aug 22, 2022
This is one good evidence of why the African nation is where it is today despite the many blessings in the land.

One would think there are far bigger and wilder lions roaming and plundering the lives of the people the one to become king over should eliminate rather than an animal in the game.

We no longer live in rafia huts nor in the wild when human were endangered and vulnerable to attacks from wild animals as these and the one who conquered them is exalted a leader/warrior. We are in the days where poverty, diseases, famines, ineffective policies and the likes are the lions attacking the estates of the people. Is it not just time we set our priorities right and stop glorifying archaic things as tradition or culture?

How is it we fail to see that these things indicate to us WE ARE STUCK?!!

We get carried away in the thrills and throes of the moment, blinded by the excitement.

There has to be a new thought process for Africa to see meaningful growth and catch up with the rest of the world before it can even think of reaching its full potential.

There’s no single heritage in all these folly, we are better off preserving what’s worth preserving, the only true tradition that’s capable of telling our ancestral mysteries and lores. That is our languages, the only true heritage we have.

Enough of all these, let’s renew our minds and move on to worthy things!

After all is said and the deeds are done, the man is the biggest loser. Moreover, the earth at the right times, heals itself and is rejuvenated.

According to who please?? And if so, this is an attack on the Kremlin hierarchy and there’s no way a power state like Russia wouldn’t run a covert intelligence and military unit. Might be under a different acronym for sure….
