Niger Delta of Ijaw alone. No tribe is going with Ijaw people to their Niger Delta. And if you are Edo better align with your brothers from SW don't hope on Niger delta nonsense.

I'm from Lagos (state of origin). I just believe each region should have a chance at independence. If the Ijaw wants to be alone, so be it. As long as the North is pushed away.

Regions should clamour and form they own Amotekun,little by little the Federal might will be so weak .

Honestly, I was pained when south east governors had to invite the IGP to form their own security outfit. That shows how weak they are and how much of a puppet they're compared to the south.
Igbo youths need to choose better leaders who have a spine and can give the FG the middle finger. If your leaders are sabotaging your efforts, nothing would be achieved. But if the south east leaders unite and cooperates, the south would be unstoppable.

Fulani's are actually unintelligent
Now I guess every ibo now know their funds are going into the destruction of the entity called Nigeria and wld probably donate more. Buharis nepotism is a blessing in disguise


This is another angle. As much as I hate Buhari, I hope his government marks the end of Nigeria as a country. Come 2023, the north won't hand over to Tinubu, that's where the whole saga would start. I just hope Niger Delta boys are not sleeping, make everybody ready themselves for whatever comes out of 2023 cause these northerners would want to show themselves. The south east and south west politicians should also ready and equip themselves and not only plan on how to steal money. Nigeria won't last long cause oil is not selling like before, government would have a hard time generating funds, they'll try to borrow more and more money, and after some time, no one would want to borrow us again. Then the government would have problems funding projects and paying salaries, even NYSC would soon be scrapped. That's when the whole agitation would be louder and everybody go answer him papa name

South east governors, reps and politicians need to do more in supporting the Biafra agitation. One Nigeria doesn't favour the south, only the north benefit massively in this contraception called NIGERIA.

If the oil wells in the south South were in the north, no Southerner would ever own an oil well and the north would have seceded. The gold in the north should be an eye opener to what would have happened if Nigeria's resources were concentrated in the north. The southern regions should take their destiny into heir hands and secede from the north, each region should build themselves up, if England can leave the EU, USSR break up, then Nigeria can also break up.

On the other side, why should igbo people even be voting in Lagos. Can Yoruba people travel to Anambra to vote in a large number. If the answer is no, then Igbos should be spectators and not dabble in Lagos politics.

Also, I always tell my Igbo friends. If Nigeria would break up today, only the Yorubas have that power. Only Yorubas can kick start secession while other regions follow.

JustforMen:

Q1.Abeg explain how a fairly tale about a God (any of the Gods) out of nowhere and creating with his mind, hands and words approaches reality?

Ans: by definition God is the uncaused cause whose reason for existence is in himself. The source of all things without whom there will be nothing in existence. As a theist, I believe that I do not understand completely, the nature of God but from the nature of reality, the experience of life and things in existence, the precise order of the universe, the relevance to my existence, there must be an intelligent creator by whatever name. This is the substance of my faith and a fact for which I am willing to gamble.
The belief in God(a creator) approaches reality because you cannot point to any physical thing with intelligent operation that was not caused or created. So reality indicates that things have to be created or caused to exist. To believe otherwise, is to have much more faith than even a theist.

2.
How then do a God coming out of nothing rises to the dignity of an error?

And: because you can only say that I am wrong but you cannot deny the neccesity of a first cause.(from elementary laws of newtonian Physics)
So I could have believed in error but your position is simply impossible, not relevant to existence and does not appear to be the reality that we see, know and experience so it is not even an error. It has to make sense to be defined as wrong or right.

Q3. Why must we posit the first cause?
Because of the basic laws of motion: "if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force."
To answer with an analogy, if assuming you find yourself in space say, a virgin jungle, never visited by any creature before you. And you find a perfectly working chronometer on the ground. An intelligent and rational human that I know you to be cannot conclude that the watch created itself or that it came from nothing.
Now consider the complexity and precise workings of the universe, can you honestly claim there is no intelligent design governing it? Then is it outlandish to attribute the intelligent design to an intelligent designer? I chose to call him a creator, God.
For even the big bang was actually some particles in motion before they 'banged'.
Atheist do not yet have a rational explanation for their source unless they are claiming that they are 'uncaused causers of the big bang' in which case then we both believe in an uncaused first cause which we may choose to call by different names, I choose to call the first cause God.

Q4.Scientific principle follows evidence and data.

Ans: pray, what is the evidence of the big bang or any other bang?

Just to add, you have only disagreed with my beliefs about the existence of God and the existence of the universe.
What is your explanation of the origin of the particles that originated the big bang. We cannot start from the big bang when there were things existing before the big bang happened. The big bang cannot rationally be the beginning without some faith involved. Faith being the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - The Bible

You don't even need to believe in God to know the big bang theory and evolution theory is a hoax. As I always tell them, nothing can come of nothing. Let's even say you're an Atheist and African, would you say you don't know black magic is very real.

If you think, the human body and the world which was well designed just came about randomly, then you're more stupid than theist. the big bang and evolution theories were never observed they make up for nice stories though.

lanrumaster:
Does anyone please know how the random walk function works. It's been to hard to understand from this Datacamp example

Random walks is basically a random simulation of random variables to produce an output randomly. From my example, the nsteps is the number of times the walk is simulated, that is 1000 times, which means its gonna produce 1000 outputs(walks).
The draws is what I want to output in 1000 times. From my example, the random.randnint(0,2, size=nsteps) means pick a number between 0 & 2, 1000 times.
The 'steps' variable is the where the draws happen, the draws produces 2 outputs, 0 & 1, 1000 times.
np.where(condition, True, False) means if the draw produces 1 (draws >0), return 1, else -1.
This is stored in the 'walks' variable which is a cumulative sum of all the steps in the draws. \

The first pic is the cumulative sum of the first 100 draws while the second pic is a graph of the first 100 draws.

Looking at the first pic, notice how they either increase or decrease by 1 or -1 respectively.
so basically, the whole thing picks 1 or -1 simultaneously and the size is the number of steps, that means, pick 1 or -1 randomly 1000 times. The output could be anything but this is a basic example.

Whenever I hear pseudo intellectuals on Facebook mouth of the gibberish that is evolution I just wonder with amazement...they think it makes them 'seem' smart and creationists dumb..meanwhile a LOT of creationists are notable scientists and World leaders but these ones on Facebook with nada,zilch to their name of accomplishment think they know better...they pride in logic and common sense but believe a random one in a billion billion explosion SOMEHOW aligned together and created a living cell..and somehow this cell learnt how to evolve and grow organelles...and gills and fins..then somehow it learnt to breathe air and then limbs to walk the earth..then some evolved to grow wings and take to the sky..they stoopidly postulate that a fvcking random one in a billion billion explosion SOMEHOW created the milky way and our solar system...and put the earth at exactly the right distance from the sun to sustain life..ALL OF THESE HAPPENED BY A ONE IN A BILLION BILLION CHANCE...by an event that has no conscience, no consciousness, no sentient character...how does an inanimate event/ body create an animate and sentient life

Exactly what I try to tell these peeps. Their first line of defense is that you don't understand the theory, as if they are any smarter than the rest of us.

so you're tryna tell me that somehow, everything we see today just came about randomly and formed itself. Before the big bang, there was probably no consciousness, but somehow consciousness grew from unconsciousness. The complex human body formed, everything so organised and intact. Bruh, does anyone really believe that or you're just tryna tag along to feel smart and argue with others how some stars have been around for billions of yeras, lol. grin

Evolution is no lies. You have not read enough. Or you probably have no capacity to comprehend that subject.

You need to broaden your knowledge base first.

If you can read and understand it, anybody can read to understand it. You don't need to be smart, and the big bang never happened. That you think it did doesn't make you smarter than someone who disagrees with you.

You behave like someone who blocks his ears with with his hands and screaming loudly "I don't want to listen to what anyone says, I believe in what I believe". You never bothered to read or understand the basis of the theories you so despise, you just keep parroting "big bang and evolution theories are hoax". Why the science community has been pushing a hoax for over a hundred years, you never stated, maybe it is heing pushed by the science faction of the deepstate.

You even stated that redshift and cosmic background radiation are hoaxes. This shows you know very little of physics and science in general. If these two measurable quantities are hoax, then the whole of physics are hoax, the doppler effect is hoax, the laws of general and special relatively are hoax, the laws of electromagnetism and thermodynamics are hoax.

For your information, astrology is not related to space science or any science for that matter. I thought you made an error when you first mentioned it, but since you consistently mention the same think, I realise you are truly ignorant.

Apart from ignorance, you also have comprehension problems. I never labelled you a theist. Read that section again and show me where I labelled you a theist.

How can someone claim to be an aeronautic engineer without having a mastery of gravity - the fundamental force that holds the universe together. How can someone study aeronautic engineering without understanding the properties of earth as it relates to the sun, such as rotation, revolution, precession, tides, solar flares, etc.

I am done with this senseless argument. You can cover your ears and mind and believe whatever you choose to believe if it makes you happy.

Why do you guys always treat these theories like you need a 150 IQ to understand them. That's the same line most people I come across use, they tell say you don't understand it. Any idiot can easily pick up a book on the big bang, read it and defend the theory based on what he read. You don't need solomon's wisdom to understand what was written in the book.

1. One common reason the theory has been pushed is so science could claim to explain the source of creation. Christians have a creation story, islam has one, and many other religions. Of course, scientists proposed different theories and found the big bang to make the most sense and have been patching up the theory ever since. There's currently no information on what started the big bang. Just give it a few years and they will come up with a nice story about one thing led to another and that Then peeps like you think they are smarter than the rest read it up and defend the bullshit.

2. Astrology is not full science but has its roots in space science.

3. Like I said earlier, you can be an aeronautic engineer, medical doctor, lab scientists or whatever and not know shit about space. That's cause they deal with a different aspect of science. That you know how to mic chemicals together doesn't or the laws of physics doesn't mean you have a knowledge on cosmology or space science.

It's you that's being ignorant.

This guy again, who talks a whole lot of smack but can disprove nothing. I keep hoping you’ll talk about the star that was found to be older than the universe itself or at least something like this -


It violates the first law of thermodynamics, which says you can't create or destroy matter or energy. Critics claim that the big bang theory suggests the universe began out of nothing. Proponents of the big bang theory say that such criticism is unwarranted for two reasons. The first is that the big bang doesn't address the creation of the universe, but rather the evolution of it. The other reason is that since the laws of science break down as you approach the creation of the universe, there's no reason to believe the first law of thermodynamics would apply.
Some critics say that the formation of stars and galaxies violates the law of entropy, which suggests systems of change become less organized over time. But if you view the early universe as completely homogeneous and isotropic, then the current universe shows signs of obeying the law of entropy.
Some astrophysicists and cosmologists argue that scientists have misinterpreted evidence like the redshift of celestial bodies and the cosmic microwave background radiation. Some cite the absence of exotic cosmic bodies that should have been the product of the big bang according to the theory.
The early inflationary period of the big bang appears to violate the rule that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Proponents have a few different responses to this criticism. One is that at the start of the big bang, the theory of relativity didn't apply. As a result, there was no issue with traveling faster than the speed of light. Another related response is that space itself can expand faster than the speed of light, as space falls outside the domain of the theory of gravity

Or at least speak about the other theories like plasma cosmology or the big bounce


BUT HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT ANY OF THIS, HE JUST KNOWS IT IS A THEORY

Even the rejectors of the Big Bang know why they rejected it, and have their own theories to supplement.. I gave you several chances to tell me why you feel the Big Bang theory did not happen but you know nothing.

Logically, the big bang doesn't make sense. So you tryna tell me everything we have today came from some expansion that happened billions of years ago. Somehow, unconsciousness created Consciousness, created the human brains, somehow, the complex human body just came to be and was perfect. Bro, that's not logic. That's foolishness. Believe whatever you want to believe. It doesn't make you smarter than the average creationist who think god created the heavens and the earth.

Doesn't mean anything. Atheism is simply a lack of belief in God's. It has little to do with science, arts or any other discipline. You will be surprised that some academic theologians are atheists.


Billions of years has everything to do with science. When you measure the age of rocks, when you measure the distances of galaxies and quasars to be billions of light years, are these not real science?
Science is not necessarily trying to answer how the world came to be. That the goal of the theists. What scientist do is to make observations and look for hypothesis and theories that can best explain and predict the observations.



Wrong precepts. The big bang and evolution is observed indirectly. Galaxies and distant objects is measured to be accelerating away from us according to their red shift measurements, this can only mean that the universe is inflating in all directions. The big bang theory only theorised what would happen if we go back in time, the universe would be deflating until it gets to its starting point - a point. The moment that point started to inflate is the big bang. Besides, the discovery of the the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the strongest proof of the big bang. The big bang theory was proposed in 1927, and it predicted a background radiation that pervades the whole universe, it was not until 1965 that it was discovered and confirmed.

The Cosmic Background Radiation is predicted to be leftover radiation from the Big Bang, or the time when the universe began. As the theory goes, when the universe was born it underwent a rapid inflation and expansion.

1. Most science fields are interconnected while others have little to no connvetion. As an example, an aeronautic engineer knows how to build a plane, knows physics or chemistry but doesn't know shit about space.

2.

3.The millions & billions of years talk is all made up BS. If you want to believe them, good for you but don't call others stupid for refusing to be indoctrinated. Carbon-dating has its flaws (thats a topic for another day). ALso, the big bang and evol was never observed. They can't be observed but were merely poputed cause it made the most sense among all the theories suggested at the time.

4. All what you are writing concerning the galaxies, red shifts and cosmic rays is all part of whole big bang hoax. Good news is that, expect more of these kind of stories in the future.

[b] Today, ideas like The Big Bang are pushed so vehemently, especially among higher education, that anyone who questions its validity, even in light of the countless flaws of the Big Bang Theory, can be subject to intense criticism, be ostracized and face social rejection, be given failing grades, and even face expulsion from universities. Professional licenses can be revoked, you can be rejected from associations, lose your job, and worse. All because you went against the prevailing notions.

It’s not about what is true. It’s about what the educational and governing authorities say they want you to believe and say is true.

This is why false ideas unsupported by science like the Big Bang theory and evolution are so pervasive. Most people believe what they are told without even bothering to research it for themselves; and the ones who are informed enough and think for themselves enough to question it are too afraid to say anything.

If you want to believe in the Big Bang theory, you must believe it one of three ways: by faith, by ignorance, or by indoctrination. By faith, because you can’t believe something which does not have adequate scientific evidence except as a philosophical viewpoint.

By ignorance because the only way to be certain in your mind that the Big Bang theory could work is because you don’t have all the facts. Or if you have been so far indoctrinated you haven’t made a logical conclusion with your own rational mind, you may have never even tried to question what you have been told.

However you must decide for yourself what you will believe. If you decide to believe in the Big Bang theory, that’s fine, just realize that since it is not supported by science, you have to believe it as a philosophical viewpoint, not as a scientific fact [/b]

[b]Today, ideas like The Big Bang are pushed so vehemently, especially among higher education, that anyone who questions its validity, even in light of the countless flaws of the Big Bang Theory, can be subject to intense criticism, be ostracized and face social rejection, be given failing grades, and even face expulsion from universities. Professional licenses can be revoked, you can be rejected from associations, lose your job, and worse. All because you went against the prevailing notions.

It’s not about what is true. It’s about what the educational and governing authorities say they want you to believe and say is true. As a result almost all professors and scientists are too afraid of being ostracized from their communities and face losing their jobs to speak out against the prevailing notions.

This is why false ideas unsupported by science like the Big Bang theory and evolution are so pervasive. Most people believe what they are told without even bothering to research it for themselves; and the ones who are informed enough and think for themselves enough to question it are too afraid to say anything.

If you want to believe in the Big Bang theory, you must believe it one of three ways: by faith, by ignorance, or by indoctrination. By faith, because you can’t believe something which does not have adequate scientific evidence except as a philosophical viewpoint.

By ignorance because the only way to be certain in your mind that the Big Bang theory could work is because you don’t have all the facts. Or if you have been so far indoctrinated you haven’t made a logical conclusion with your own rational mind, you may have never even tried to question what you have been told.

However you must decide for yourself what you will believe. If you decide to believe in the Big Bang theory, that’s fine, just realize that since it is not supported by science, you have to believe it as a philosophical viewpoint, not as a scientific fact.[/b]
