Ikechunna:
Incompetence is Niggerian problem. Never seen people with so much little knowledge talking trash. Do not compare Gowon actions to other nations. The examples you have is undeliberate consequences. Gowon own was deliberate. Gowon took that choice because he couldn’t defeat the Biafrans soldiers. Due to Nigeria was having more military casualties, they decided in order to subdue Biafran military, they should target their unarmed civilians. In fact, in one of the books I read from Alabi Islama (unfortunately can’t remember the name currently), they intentionally avoided check points areas they believe Biafran soldiers are located at to enter the civilians were. If there aren’t many soldiers in that town, they’ll attack and mostly focus on the unarmed civilians. That’s why Biafra had more civilian casualties than military while Niggeria had more military casualties. Gowon policy was not only cowardly but it is indeed war crimes. There’s no if, and, or but, about it. Are you OK? talk of incompetence, and you're the one saying nonsense. What's the "undeliberate consequences" in Bombing Japan? They didn't have allies, again. Germany had already surrendered; Japan's navy was almost vanquished; its islands were blocked by the ally navy ; and its cities were undergoing concentrated air strikes. The war was already over, the bombs on civilians were unwarranted. Besides, the two cities bombed had more civilians than military personnel. And you think what Gowon supposedly did (according to Alabi something ) is worse than that? Everything you said about Gowon was speculation. Where did he say soldiers should target civilians? In wars, you count the cost before engaging. If you're not strong enough for your enemy, quickly surrender. Don't later seek sympathy for the consequences of your ego. Civilians die in every war. It's inevitable. That's why each side should seek to avoid war. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Do war crimes, crime against humanity and genocide even mean anything to you?

Don't even begin to compare war between nations to a civil war. A civil war is a war between brothers and using Japan and Iraq is comparing apples to oranges.
Gowon and co and Nigeria were wrong for targeting civilians, women , children and farms and should apologize genuinely.
I am not supporting war in any way. But when there's war, you can't use civilians for emotional blackmail to coax your enemies. Civilians died too during American Civil War now. Why didn't Abraham Lincoln allow the South to separate since civilians were dying? Surrender, you don't want to surrender, you're using your civilians to blackmail the federal government. Why did they go to war in the first place when they knew they were not capable? Both sides were at fault. 2 Likes |

Civilian casualties is something that must happen in a war but deliberately targeting women and children (civilian)is war crimes weather you like it or not..... That's the point ffk is trying to make... There were lots of war crime committed by the Nigerian army and nobody was punished for it...
That's how war is everywhere. Harry S Truman bombed Japan twice and killed thousands of civilians. No one was trialed. George Bush Jr declared war in Iraq without concrete evidence, and thousand civilians died and he's walking free today. I'm not moralizing what the soldiers did o. But Gowon had no choice. He had to defend his country. He's a soldier for Christ sake. 5 Likes |

Many things like what are eternal ?
If many things are eternal, then they have to retain their ORIGINAL characteristics. But nothing in the universe retain its original characteristics. Everything in the universe keeps changing. Even the universe itself is expanding and the fundamental particles will undergo DECAY with the passage of time. This implies that many things are not eternal but they were brought into existence when a gravitational singularity suddenly undergo big bang explosion 13.8 billion years ago.
many gods mat have been eternal. That's what I mean |

Abdulgaffar22:
Honestly, it is very difficult to grasp the message you're trying to pass across.
Well, let me just answer you the way I understood your points
My statement which says "something is always eternal" and my statement which says "something can never come out from absolutely nothing" do not defeat each other because it is the something which is always eternal that brought the OTHER things into existence. Therefore, other things were not caused to exist by absolutely nothing. Other things were rather caused to exist by that very something that is always eternal.
And many things could've been eternal working together. Why your insistence on only "SOMETHING" being eternal? Abdulgaffar22:
Science has proved that many things were brought into existence 13.8 billion years ago during the period of big bang explosion. Therefore, Greek mythology failed completely because many things are not eternal. They began to exist 13.8 billion years ago
how did big bang preclude many things being eternal? Where did eternity of an entity come in the big bang? Explicate how big bang support one eternal entity. By the way, you're the one confusing me. You believe big bang now, that the world started 13.8 billion years ago? or you just want to use it to prove your point? |
Religion / Re: This Is The Right Time For All Atheists To Have Perfect Belief In God by TVSA: 5:26pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
Abdulgaffar22:
But SOMETHING must be ETERNAL (i:e always exist without being created by anyone). Here is the reason; if there is absolutely 'NOTHING' in the long past, then there is no way we can have 'SOMETHING' at this present time because something can NEVER come out from absolutely nothing. This simply shows that something must be eternal i:e always exist and infinitely old without being created by anyone.
So the SOMETHING that is always "eternal" actually defeated your logic of "something can NEVER come out from absolutely nothing" or Many things are actually eternal and they all have their roles. Like Greek mythology ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) |

These are just your assumptions. Call it "what I think". How does tattoo automatically mean someone has low IQ? you've taken your conservatism to a whole new level. There's no unseriousness associated with tattoos. Tattoo is part of some native cultures, my two grand mothers have tattoos, one has on her neck, another has one her hand. Does this mean they're not serious or they have low IQ? A notorious criminal might not have tattoo and a civil person might have. Stop thinking like a policeman in Nigeria.

Nigeria will become the greatest nation in the world sotey we go colonize the whole of Africa and Asia and north America and Mars and Venus. By drawing that tattoo u have opened the door to bad things to start happening to Nigeria, bad things like child marriages, infant maternal mortality, bad governance, oppression of the poor and weak, malaria virus, flooding, tanker explosion, kidnapping, bombings, farmers and hearders clashes e.t.c such things are because of WOMEN are drawing tattoo 2 Likes
