The most useless and senseless set of people on Earth. Wise people unite power and fight their enemies, these fools would be fighting themself. Charms that they are supposed to unite and use to destroy their obvious known enemies that invaded and enslaving them right on their own land.

Use your sense, vote the person that values human life.

They've stagnated the destiny of this wonderful Country with tribalism. Read: https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/5007750/there-plants-animals-moon-now

When will Nigeria's turn come. Long long ago, America, Europe and even Nigeria used to look down on China, but now they dare not. China's Chang'e-4 lander touched down on the far side of the moon (Jan. 3 Beijing time, Jan. 2 US), and it's got some living things on board.
A small "tin" in the lander contains seeds of potatoes and rockcress (Arabidopsis thaliana, a flowering plant related to cabbage and mustard, as well as a model organism for plant biology), as well as silkworm eggs. The idea, according to a report in The Telegraph earlier this year, is that the plants will the silkworms with oxygen, and the silkworms will in turn provide the plants with necessary carbon dioxide and nutrients through their waste. The researchers will watch the plants carefully to see whether the plants successfully perform photosynthesis, and grow and bloom in the lunar environment.

"We want to study the respiration of the seeds and the photosynthesis on the moon," Xie Gengxin, chief designer of the experiment, told Xinhua, a Chinese state-run news agency. [See Spectacular Lunar Mission Images in 3D (Photos)]
The "biosphere" experiment was the product of a collaboration between 28 Chinese universities, led by southwest China's Chongqing University, according to Xinhua. The experiment, which is tucked inside a 1.4-pint (0.8 liters) aluminum alloy cylinder, weighs about 7 lbs. (3 kilograms) and includes dirt, nutrients and water. Sunlight will filter into the container through a "tube," and small cameras will watch the little environment. That data will beam back to Earth by means of the complicated relay system China has set up to communicate with an experiment that has no direct line of sight to Earth.

"Why potato and Arabidopsis? Because the growth period of Arabidopsis is short and convenient to observe. And potato could become a major source of food for future space travelers," said Liu Hanlong, chief director of the experiment and vice president of Chongqing University, as reported by Xinhua. "Our experiment might help accumulate knowledge for building a lunar base and long-term residence on the moon."
Rockcress has been grown in space before, including in one experiment on the International Space Station that showed the plants' leaves appearing to rise and fall as they detected the moon's gravity. But whether the flowering plant will flourish in the environment of the far side of the moon remains an open question.
For now, though, this means that there's life in at least one other place in the solar system (even if it's only because we put it there).
They were the little cotton sprouts that could: a handful of seedlings that poked themselves up from the dirt inside a small biosphere on China's lunar lander, Chang'e-4.

Yes, the plants were stunted compared with the earthbound control plants. But they had just survived a space launch and difficult journey to the moon, and were growing in the low gravity and high radiation of extraterrestrial space. They were the first plants ever to grow on the lunar surface. None of the other species that made the trip with them showed any similar signs of life.
Now they're dead. And it's all the moon's fault.
During a news conference today (Jan. 16), project leader Liu Hanlong explained the plants' deaths in their little, faraway can, the Hong Kong publication GB Times reported.
As night fell on the region of the far side of the moon where Chang'e-4 sits, temperatures plunged in the 5.7-lbs. (2.6 kilograms) mini biosphere. Hanlong reportedly said that the temperature inside the chamber had fallen to minus 62 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 52 degrees Celsius), and could continue to plunge to minus 292 degrees F (minus 180 degrees C). The experiment is effectively over, as the lander has no onboard mechanism for keeping the experiment warm without sunlight.

So what, precisely, would have happened to the extraterrestrial growth as temperatures plunged?
Some plants are better at dealing with cold than others, as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) explained in a post. As days shorten and temperatures drop, the plants flood their cells with sugar and other chemicals to lower the freezing point of the water inside. This process is important because it keeps intracellular water from turning to ice crystals that expand and shred cells from the inside. Other plants also toughen cell membranes, or — in extreme environments, plants survive freezes by dehydrating themselves, literally pumping water out of the cells.
However, according to the FAO, all of these "hardening" techniques require that, for several days, the environment send t signals that winter is coming. This is why sudden frosts can kill even cold-weather plants on Earth. And cotton, native to warm regions on Earth, is not particularly well adapted to the cold in the first place.
The lunar nighttime chill would have been nothing like the gradual seasonal shift to which plants are adapted. During the two-week daylight period, temperatures on the lunar surface can be as high as 212 degrees F (100 degrees C). But when night falls, they can rapidly plunge to minus 279 degrees F (minus 173 degrees C).

So the cold shock to the cotton was likely brutal and sudden. Water in newly formed cells would have turned quickly to ice, flaying them open from the inside. Any buds and leaves would have gone first, according to research published in 2001 in the journal Annals of Botany. A close look at them under microscopes would reveal cell membranes wrinkled and folded on themselves like burst water balloons. The hardier stems would have frozen shortly afterward.
At the same time as the cells froze, that study found, water between the cells would have frozen as well. That process would have sucked more water out of the cells before it could freeze, killing the cotton by dehydration as much as physical destruction.
Though no earthly plant is known to survive at temperatures colder than even the middle of Antarctica, the cotton likely wouldn't have put up a fight to prevent its death without any autumnal light shifts to signal the temperature change.
The end of those cotton sprouts was probably nasty, then. But at least it was quick. We salute the botanical explorers, now frozen in their lunar graves.

The free Nigeria is gone.

12. That's said to be the age of ability. Before that age, the parents should have guided and trained the child on the Way he/she should go.

Parko:

What i meant was that:
Firstly putting ABNGNGLA there was wrong, and that u were suppose to put something like 04******* (all numeric), and i even went as far as giving u a link to get ur unique access bank branch sort code. Or try visting ur bank to get ur bank sort code.
Secondly were u wrote 693 is also wrong the right thing to put is ABNGNGLA

Thanks so much for your timely response. I'll do the right thing now.

Parko:
(1) National Bank Code is ur bank Sort Code visit https://www.accessbankplc.com/AccessBankGroup/media/Documents/SortCode.pdf to find ur bank branch sort code

(2) Access Bank SWIFT CODE is ABNGNGLA

Thanks so much. But pls look at the circled part of the attached screenshot. I imputed the ABNGNGLA alraedy before I came here to request help, because it wasn't accepting it.

Banjoramos:

The most important question in life is 'Why are we here?'

Well, whyarewe here? To amass fame and fortune? To make music and babies? To be the richest man or woman in the graveyard for, as we are jokingly told, 'He who dies with the most toys wins?'

No, there must be more to life than that, so let's think about this.To begin with, look around you. Unless you live in a cave, you are surrounded by things we humans have made with our own hands.Now, why did we make those things? The answer, of course, is that we make things to perform some specific function for us.In short, we make things to serve us.So by extension, why did God make us, if not to serve Him?

If we acknowledge our Creator, and that He created humankind to serve Him, the next question is, 'How? How do we serve Him?' No doubt, this question is best answered by the One who made us.If He created us to serve Him, then He expects us to function in a particular manner, if we are to achieve our purpose.But how can we know what that manner is? How can we know what God expects from us?

[b] Well, consider this: God gave us light, by which we can find our way. Even at night, we have the moon for light and the stars for navigation. God gave other animals guidance systems best suited for their conditions and needs. Migrating birds can navigate, even on overcast days, by how light is polarized as it es through the clouds. Whales migrate by 'reading' the Earth's magnetic fields. Salmon return from the open ocean to spawn at the exact spot of their birth by smell, if that can be imagined.Fish sense distant movements through pressure receptors that line their bodies. Bats and blind river dolphins 'see' by sonar.Certain marine organisms (the electric eel being a high-voltage example) generate and 'read' magnetic fields, allowing them to 'see' in muddy waters, or in the blackness of ocean depths. Insects communicate by pheromones.Plants sense sunlight and grow towards it (phototrophism); their roots sense gravity and grow into the earth (geotrophism). In short, God has gifted every element of His creation with guidance. Can we seriously believe he would not give us guidance on the one most important aspect of our existence, namely ourraison d'etreour reason for being? That he would not give us the tools by which to achieve salvation? [/b]
So what does the Creator, God, tell us about our purpose in life? God states in the Quran that He created the human to be His trustee on earth. Mankind's basic trust, our responsibility, is to believe in and worship God:

And I did not create the jinn and humankind except to worship Me'¦ [Quran 51:56-58]

Very simple! The purpose for man's creation is to worship the Creator.

I really appreciate this. Thanks.

Lalasticlala, Seun, Ishilove and other Mods, today is Sunday. This powerful Christian thread is supposed to be on Fp by now. https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/4971620/where-what-purpose-earth#74935714

isaactolu:

hi, pls i will apprec8 it if u make ur contribution tru this thread rather than tru email cos 1. Others will learn 2. It will save u frm pple having the impression that u want to sell them ebook. Regards.

Pls, all should give info and help I may need apart from this question. What is access Bank swift code? I need urgent reply. I have 23 domain names that I want to sell but got stuck at this Access Swift Code thing. I've tried several that I found across the Net and even called the bank. They say its ABNGNGLA. Is there any format or addition to it? Attached is the sedo form:

LordGuru:
Life is happening now.

Thank you sir, I testify.

U guys made ur sexuality a "thing"..playing victim...
Do u know how many sexuality exist in the world...sex is supposed to be private...but u people just shove urs in everyone's face......the fact that u even want rights to adopt kids of heterosexuals makes the matter wired to a lot of people....let everyone just keep their sexuality to themselves

Evil thrives and even triumph over good when the good people of a society decides to keep quite and do nothing. Sensible people in USA are now bitterly regretting not nipping this satanic activity in the bud. Nigeria was lucky to have GEJ as President when Hussein Obama was growling, manipulating and coercing the World.

LordLegit:

Don't mind the senseless ediot. He said every Nigerian have bad hidden habit too... Because most Nigerians are wise sensible people who won't call satanic evil good and celebrate anti-life activities as if it's pro-Life.The fact that gays wants to boldly rub shameful bad habit, that should be hidden, into other people's face shows they are anti-Life. Isaiah 50:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness."

Word!

Bitter truth.

Some men are just slaves to their emotion.

I agree with you.

mezarddinny:
the 15th riddle is rubbish, there is no God

SultanYoung:

Thanks for Taking the time to acknowledge my post.

Do you know that sex is an act of worship in the WICO COVEN ?


they are billions of forces out there to destroy man but the most powerful of them all is SEX


Let me use the Bible as a reference since you are a Christian.

The Bible let us know that SEX make the glory of God to come short,below will be few prophet according to the bible that face trials and pay for their sexual perversion

SAMSON
DAVID
SOLOMON
ABRAHAM

If you will permit me I will give you a soft copy book on witch craft I wish I can say more but we are mostly bound by rules

Pls, send me the eBook. I'm waiting...

Great thread! Well, looking back at my life now, I realize that it was when I endlessly started listening to worship songs (Don Moen, Ron Kenolly, Micheal Smith, Nathaniel Bassey, etc.) that I started finding it hard to go back to sin. I think listening to worldly music subconsciously activate a urge for lust. So, I'll advise that all intending serious Christians should sacrifice the pleasure that these worldly music gives and replace it by in-filling and presence of Holy Spirit that comes with consistently being in His presence through worship. We that worship Him, worship in truth and in spirit. Read all the Chapters of the Book of John. Read books like As a Man Thinketh by James Allen or get the audios of such mind renewing messages, Roman 12:2, every true Christian must relentlessly and tirelessly work on renewing his/her mind. Faith cometh by hearing the Word of GOD. Like I also did, fill your phones with and endlessly listen to preachings form Kenneth Hagin, MFM Pastor D.K. Olukoya, Pastor Kumuyi, etc... My 1cent.

You can never tell bro. Africans are first set of humans on earth, and were in some of this places in prehistoric and dinosaur era.
