Yugosng:

Guess who's packing his lunch box and ironing his blue short?

You!!!

No bro... I think you should. Its a very simple arithmetic. Check again... Apply the age old BODMAS. Start from the innermost bracket. Ensure all operations in bracket are gone and you will be left with -4 add 2 to it and u have your answer.


Let me help you out.

2-(1-(1-(2-3)-2)+3)
=2-(1-(1-(-1)-2)+3)
=2-(1-(2-2)+3)
=2-(1-0+3)
=2-(1+3-0)
=2-(4-0)
=2-4
=-2

If you don't get -2 I think you should go back to junior class.

You are talking about insticts that are locked in the DNA of different species. That is still not what John Locke was talking about.

Infants don't learn to cry, suck on brëasts or objects,they just do because it has been programmed in the DNA of the specie. Those are the basic coping instincts u see in every mammal. I'm sure other animal classes have their own version of inborn instincts too.

Those are instincts and not the experience, memory and perception that the "tabula rasa" theory talks about.

Not exactly bro. It just shows they are conscious of the environment, of the need for food, and of the way they should react to get what they want. Hence, the mind is not tabula raza. Consciousness is directly from the mind, coordinated by the brain and that shows that their mind is not tabula raza.
Now let's talk about talent. Why is it that some people can dance but others can't? Why is it that some can play football better than others even if they practice equally? That got to show one thing. Talent is inborn. And if its inborn then neither the brain, nor the mind is empty at birth.

Mcbussy:
Op,nice job....but I'm gonna argue about John Locke's tabula rasa.

Truly,cognitive traits and capabilities are ed from parents to offspring. But what John Locke was saying is dat a child comes to the world with a blank slate (tabula rasa) i.e blank mind...the child's experience in life is written on that slate and therefore is one on the key factors that develop d individuals personality.

If you look at urself. your childhood experience, the kind of environment u grew up in helped shape who you are today. Every individual responds to d world according to his own experience, views and perception.

Definitely, parents can't their own life experience to their ofsprings through the genes. If that was the case, every Jew born in present day would naturally hate Germans even without hearing the world war 2 stories. African Americans would still be feeling the pains of their slave ancestors... Lolz

So I think the scientists that related genetics with "tabula rasa" must av had d wrong perception of what John Locke meant. Memory and perception cannot be ed by genes. It is possible to cognitive capabilities and patterns.

I quiet disagree with you on this. The human mind is not completely tabular raza at birth. There are some innate knowledge for varying individual at birth. Some of it develop to become a talent. For example, when a new born heard a shout, or something fearful, they shout, cry or do something to react to that strange occurence. If you take a new born child away from his or her mother, he or she will show disapprval either by crying or otherwise. That is the knowledge available to them at that instant and there is no experience that cos them to realise something is wrong somewhere.

I have made up my mind to stop arguing about all these religion issues,it leads no Where. But take a look at this man,and tell me What you think about him. Be right back with the story.

How would you describe a man that sits you down with very hot fire he created beside him,telling you: you know What? You see Dat fire over there? I created it,and It's very hot,But I don't wish you to go into the fire because I love you,But I still created the fire. Here is the deal,I know I gave u ur freewill But I don't want u to do ur will But mine. I want u to love me and do everything I say So I can be happy,But just incase you don't want to do my will,that fire over there is waiting to receive you(smiles) ,I am not forcing you to do my will ooo and I am not interfering with ur will at all ooo But I created that fire over there to torture you If u don't do my will,you see that i am not interferring at all,But I am not forcing u ooooo yet I created a very hot fire to BURN you for eternity,you see that I am not forcing you,don't think that fire is a threat against your will,see that fire as my anger for u not obeying my will because I love u and I love u enough to see you burn for eternity. Tell me who do you know loves as much as I do? Who else is as caring as to see his children burn in hell for eternity as me? You see that I am the Most caring? THAT'S my boy. Now the decision is yours, love me or burn in hell for eternity,Which one do you choose?

Normally, I don't comment on topic like this. I gues rules are broken sometimes to suite a situation. On the issue of hell, yes it was created, originally not for human but for the devil. Satan, knowing fully well that God won't go back on his word decided not to go down alone. The bible made us understand that he did not only decided to make humans member of his cabinet in hell, but also included some angels. Hence, he continually play his tricks on human minds and turn them against their creator, making them do dreadful things and wipe out the original plans of God for creating them. The most painful part of this to God is that human were actually being used to make other humans live life uncomfortably, that is why God through the very few among human who listen to him rather than satan decided to guide humanity with his laws. All these laws where actually made out of his love for humans. You will see that all the laws of God was to guide and protect humanity generally, don't steal, don't kill, don't lie against one another etc where made to protect mankind from those that the devil has used his wisdom to deciv into making life difficult for others. Thank you so much

On October 10, 2014, the Nigerian media reported the visit of the American Ambassador in Nigeria, Ambassador James Entwistle, to the American University in Yola, Adamawa State. It was not the meeting with the proprietor of the university, a former vice-president and a presidential aspirant under the opposition All Progressive Congress (APC) during the visit that made the headlines and raised eyebrows but the denigrating comment of the envoy on that occasion. Ambassador Entwistle, it was reported, had explained that the United States’ refusal to sell highly-needed weaponry to Nigeria in her war against terror and insurgency in the North-east of the country was because “the Nigerian military is notoriously know for human rights abuses”.

Such tactless and undiplomatic language of the American Ambassador should surprise no one. For years now and against diplomatic norms, it has become the hallmark of American envoys in Nigeria to utilize various public platform provided by unsuspecting Nigerians to lecture and disparage the country, its leaders and institutions. While its diplomats are busy doing their best to create rupture in relations between the two countries, they are complemented by their bosses in Washington who constantly invite Nigerian leaders, including some past leaders who regrettably use the occasions to demean, discredit and disparage President Goodluck Jonathan and his istration.

In the wake of the kidnapping of the Chibok girls, America in its usual razzmatazz had announced to the whole world that it was sending some special service men and aircraft to help the search for the missing Chibok girls. Weeks and months later, all that was heard of America’s involvement and effort was again a disparaging statement that the Americans would not share any intelligence with the Nigerian military because of its corrupt tendencies.

With such statements from American envoys in Nigeria and those from highly-placed American officials in Washington, in and out of the Obama istration and the United States congress, it is only fair to question the sincere commitment of the American government to the corporate existence of Nigeria. This is because the American government according to official sources, has not only constantly turn down Nigeria’s request for valuable , in of superior weapons to fight the insurgents in the North-east, but has successfully blocked Nigeria from purchasing the necessary arms, ammunition and military hardware from other sources. Against this backdrop, explaining or understanding American behaviour and attitude towards Nigeria, which includes humiliating and disparaging the country, its leadership and institutions becomes very difficult.

This is because for years and in recent times the American government not only proclaimed and often reiterated its strategic relationship with Nigeria but openly and publically professes its readiness to assist the country and its military in the fight against Boko Haram. Yet when the opportunities presented themselves for America to demonstrate the true essence of strategic relationship and help a friend in dire need, it chooses a different path all together. Equally no Nigerian should be impressed, misled or fooled by American excuses. There are credible evidence, from available official US records indicating that the United States has over the years, executed some of the biggest arms shipments, running into several billions of dollars to countries with abysmal human right records including brutal suppression of democratic dissents. A number of countries in the Middle East, Latin America and Africa including one which recent history we all know too well are beneficiaries of American military .

Besides, even if we stretch the human rights violations a little, it is not America, whose military and security agencies have had their own share of abysmal records in almost all their operations outside the US that should openly criticise the Nigerian military the way it does. Rather, the United States can and should show more consideration and understanding as to why military personnel especially, soldiers misbehave as they often do in war.

For a country often condemned and accused of hypocrisy in its handling of human rights issues by among others, Amnesty International, it would appear that the US government irrespective of the misbehaviour of its military in war times, operates a double faced sense of propriety where the definition of right and wrong is solely determined by what suits the narrow interest of the American government. What is more worrisome is that America’s postures against Nigeria that is facing its worst security challenges since the end of the country’s civil war in the 1970s comes in the face of American intelligence community’s prediction that the country could break up by 2015 and one is thus left to wonder whether the US attitude is to hasten the fulfilment of that predication. In comparison, the United States is currently mobilising global and spending billions of tax payers’ money in humanitarian and military to prevent the total disintegration of a region it helped to destabilise.

While the Nigerian government needs to be more strategic in its engagement of the United States, it should make it clear to the Americans and their local collaborators that this country will not collapse and is not about to disintegrate. Nigeria will overcome its security challenges with or without American guns or boots on the ground in Nigeria and would emerge stronger. This is why it is imperative for all Nigerians, on the issue of terrorism and insurgency in the North-east to stand together and the government and the military. In our unity lies our strength and an unmistakable message is sent to friends and foes alike that weather they assist us or not we will survive and emerge a more unified nation.

Please pardon my ignorance, but can someone on the know put me(us) through on the difference between a Minister and a Minister of State in the Ministry.

We usually see somethings like The Minister for Education and then The Minister of State for Education and it is so in all ministries..

So please what is their different job description and all that.....

OP, in Nigeria the minister of state is the principal junior( more like a deputy) to the minister. Their functions differs in different countries.

cramjones:

Anything to restore peace? Why is Nigeria made up of block heads? Why do we have citizens that cannot reason? Are these the kind of people that voted out a dedicated governor and voted in the thug Ayo Fayose? Can Nigeria ever change with people like this that only see things through the lens of tribe, religion and political affiliation? Haramites have killed over 15,000, bombed churches, kidnapped and raped innocent girls, and you say rehabilitation is the way to go? Does your brain contain neurons or pus? Now bugger off this thread you nitwit!

-CramJones

. Now cramjones you are actually the one with blockhead. Why on earth do you think killing them will bring peace to the nation? Do you realise that majority of them where forcefully recruited? Do you realise that they still are nigerians? Do you realise the effect of killing them and the violence that will follow as the other who are still in hiding will fight tooth and nails knowing that they will eventually die weather they surrender or not hence will start killing innocent souls without any regret? Please when you criticise, do so rationally. Don't let your hatred for GEJ becloud your sense of reasoning.

Its a good move, I'm happy the end of insurgency is getting closer in Nigeria. An eye for an ey makes the whole world go blind. Besides, majority of them were forcefully recruited. God bless Nigeria.
