Well,



Nigerian men are us*less............all of them

Well, that includes your father, brother(s) and/or every male relative.

Learn and stop watching only CNN.

China isn't irrational, they would surely move in, that's the right thing.

Lol. It's funny how you quote RT News as your media source yet disregard CNN contents. We know RT News is a Russian State-backed biased media platform. Digest every info there at your peril.

With this GSI, if you owe first bank and go keep your money in GTB, first bank fit enter your GTB acct debit you for the loan

Wait... I want to understand something please... With this GSI, will loan shark companies be able to run auto debit on those who defaults?

FreelanceRebel:


Your logic is faulty Bro. on object became and object when its has been created. If it doesn't exit how do you know that God can or cannot create it. What would be the characteristics of the object that will show it was an object.

It's a paradox that God can't escape. Simple. If he can create a stone so heavy he can't lift, then he is not omnipotent. Likewise, if he can't create such stone, then he's not also omnipotent. There's no middle ground in this.

I'll assume you know what a stone except you're trying to feign ignorance.

Hero2t:


Okay. You can.

Done! Thank you!!

You may install the solar system but, you might want to get a portable generator (just in case).

Yeah... I've given thoughts to the gen thingy but i really need something that's cost-effective for the foreseeable future. I might run the gen right after the solar installation tho.

Thanks fam.

Hero2t:
Ideally, you can get

100ah 12v Lifepo4 battery at 125k
500W Ceepro Inverter at 30k
280W x 2 Solar (100k (Not sure))
PowMr or Epever Mppt Controller at around 50k
Wire and Installation cost.

That set up above will serve you very well. Plus you can also add your tv and light bulbs to it.

If you are looking for something low budget, then you can get the 480W laptop power bank from www.cooldipo.com. It should help you power your laptop and charge your phone plus power a small DC fan. You can add a 150W solar for charging.

Thanks fam. I really appreciate this input. I'll check the power bank to see if it suits my usage.

Mind if I send a mail?

Hello Nairalanders,

First of all, I would like to apologise to the mods and everyone affected should this not be the right section to post this.

So, I'm just done with NYSC and got a new job with a relatively good pay. I also just moved to a new place with pathetic and epileptic power supply.

My work is hybrid (I work mostly from home) and delivery is mostly online. Due to the bad condition of power here, delivery output has been poor. I've thought of getting a generator that will serve my power needs but omo, reading from many news source about this impending subsidy removal, I've decided to opt for solar energy.

Now, here's the thing: I only need a setup that will best suit my everyday usage. My equipment are as follow:

1) Laptop - 90w
2) 2 phones - 12w
3) Standing fan - 30w
Time usage: 8hours

I am really not a TV person, so, that's scrapped for usage. My fridge will be dependent on Nepa light. I took off the bulbs in one of my rooms (my workstation) because I love a dark space. These won't be counting either.

A quick one: I've read some articles and watched some videos and still can't really get a hang off the calculations. I really need a pointer to what solar Watts to get, Batteries and inverters to use.

I'd appreciate your inputs. Thank you!

What's up with this?

That was in response to a quote that's been deleted. Sorry all.

Why seek patronage when you can play the game yourself and sweep all the money?

I did today and even picked up the pieces that fell into the cup due to too much soaking with my spoon.

The soldiers are complaining of inadequate resources (weapons et al) at their disposals and instead of finding a means to meet their needs, the clueless bubu is sending the clueless minister to Chad for not sending troops to the basin.

Bubu wants to shift the blame for his inadequacy to another nation. We've had to much of this already biko.

When some guys regard women as a mere sex object that could be bought with money and flashy life style, you blame them.


Does this one have anything else to offer than her body?

When some women regard men as mere sex craver (sic) that can be controlled by skin and pulchritude that will be effaced by times hue, you blame them.

I don't know what's wrong with us. Our lives and choices are defined by society's dictate - one borne out of patriarchal setting and an egoistical foolery. What's wrong with her swimwear? Don't guys walk about in singlets and boxers? Why do we choose to play the blind eye to the male and scream indecency for the female. Bro, it's time you took off the archaic spectacle off your eyes.

SaeedIbnEesa:
All shites should die.. They should be killed. Under age should be spared and also women.. And they should be taught Islam..

Shites are not Muslims

Sunni has been known to be the most radical sect in the world. They make up the terrorist organizations we got and are set to destabilizing the world through their acts. And bro, you just showed us how radical you are by calling for the death of humans who don't share exact ideology as you. So much for being pissful.

Emmanystone:

Let me tell you why i believe in the Bible and maybe you shd tell me why i shd believe in what Otem claims afterwards.

The Bible says God created the Universe and in the universe, he put the Sun to give it's light by Day, the Moon and stars to give their lights by night. And their purpose is to cause seasons. And He said, no one can change these course.
Nothing has ever been able to change the course.

When it's day, the sun comes out, and at night the moon and stars. If someone or something else can alter that course, then i'll doubt God.

Secondly, the Bible told me that God created man in his image, and likeness. I lost a friend recently. He slept and didn't wake up. He lived alone so no one knew he had died until 4days. Decomposition had started taking place. His lifeless body was without consciousnesses. It could not longer function and interact with this realm, the real him was gone out of his body.

Considering this, i believe the God who said, When he took clay and moulded it, it was lying on the ground lifeless, until he breath into it, it became the living soul, got up and began to move.

Although, Man had become a living soul, but without a mind, which is his consciousness, he won't be able to take rational and intentional decisions which will enable him represent himself and affect his immediate environment. Hence, God imputed into him His likeness.

I see that only humans have this attributes so, i believe what the Bibles says.

Thirdly. The Bible says, God created all things, Man, Animals and Plants to reproduce according to their kind. And it has been so. As much as we have different species of Mango, one doesn't reproduce the other, so also animals and Man.


God created man, male and female for the purpose of procreation. He commanded them to have kids and fill the earth with their kind. And i am told that Adam knew his wife(Had sex) and she got pregnant and had Cain and Able and Seth down to me, looking like him.

Till today, children are still being brought into the world by taking a part of a woman and that of a man and bring them together. No other way.

Women still go through 9 months gestation period for the baby to mature, not less. Labour pains is still everyone woman's ordeal as Genesis said.

Everything still depart out of this earth by dying according to the Bible. Why shd i wait until God appears standing before me before i believe Him?


Now call Otem up to tell me what his Doctofus says about his beliefs.
I'm waiting up.

Really?! This is why you believe the bible?

Emmanystone:

You mean Animals have the capacity to intentionally take actions that will bring activities in their immidiate environment under their control?

Wait, really?

Yup! Now answer the question.

dalaman:


Yes one of the effects of intentional states of consciousness is the ability to use tools. Many animals are able to use tools. I guess they are also made in the image and likeness of your God.

The guy just weak me

Emmanystone:

Your question was, 'what is the correlation between ISOC and God.

ISOC= INTENTIONAL STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

This is about Consciousness and how one can be intentionally in control of that state.

Now, to be conscious means to be aware of your environment, to be able to function and interact with that environment. And intentionality is how you operate to bring actions or activities in your environment under your immediate control. It is power to istrate, dominate and control.

It is the state of being able to mentally represent yourself at any point in time.

You asked me how ISOC relates to God. Here is how.

It is the God-likeness (consciousness) in us that enables us be in a state which we can take control of our minds and make rational and intentional decisions.

According to the book of Life, the Holy Bible, After YHWH created Man, he (Adam) was in the realm of the spirit, in God's image, but the purpose of creating Adam was for him to operate and function not in the realm of the spirit, but the Physical, hence, there was for him to have a body which will enable him be a material entity, hence, the clay.

The Book of Life s that, when YHWH took the clay and moulded it, it was lying lifeless on the ground until God took the spirit which had created and put in the clay, they clay received Life, jacked up and became a living soul.

Now, the clay has become a living soul, breathing and and in motion, but the living soul needed to interact and function in his new environment. But how could he archive that without consciousness?

This is when the likeness of YHWH came to play in the life of Adam.

The Likeness of God is the consciousness of God. Without Consciousness, we won't be able to interact and function in our environment. We won't be able to take rational decisions. And, taking rational decisions is done intentionally.


YHWH put intentional state of consciousness in man to enable him be god.

Animals too have intentional state of consciousness. Would you say YHWH put this in them to enable them be god?

budaatum:

KEB please take you fingers out of you ears and listen to yourself, if not others!

The gods are putting all the words at your fingertips but you still insist on not seeing any of them!

Having read a lot of his post, I am safe to conclude that KEB's problem is pride. He refuses to acknowledge he's wrong when his error is too conspicuous to miss and often play the smart yet foolish game of avoidance when one refuses to dance to his tune.

rekinomtla:


I'm not. I said it seems to me you implying that if one has knowledge one doesn’t have belief, something you seem to have said explicitly in your original post:

Alright.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to have known that by the above you meant "faith" when it's not mentioned anywhere in the post.

Sir, I think you're being dishonest or probably not trying to have a good discuss. Below is my reply to you when I realized you weren't cleared on the usage of believe as used in the post.

Sorry if you don't understand the part you marked bolded. Just so we both are cleared: the belief
there means religious faith.

And considering that I've seen many atheists contrast "belief" and knowledge in a similar way. I'm sure you have heard atheists say they don't believe in evolution, they accept it.

Stop using the atheist you've seen as a de-facto standard for every atheist.

No one claims it is.

You better speak for yourself. Well, I'm glad we're cleared on this

No, but we not talking about "truth." We talking about knowledge.

You aren't getting this bro.

Emmanystone:
Okay thanks.

Not thanks. Answer the question.

rekinomtla:


The question is not how it is acquired, the question is what it is. Knowledge has been defined as a “Justified True Belief“ since Plato's time and only relevantly recently has this definition been challenged due to The Gettier Problem. Even so, "belief" is still regarded as a necessary condition for knowledge, without it you cannot say you have knowledge.

You contrasting propositional knowledge with blind faith or belief.

This is!

However you seem to be implying that if one has knowledge one doesn’t require belief

What I mean is: faith isn't knowledge.
You're strawmanning me.

which seems impossible since how can you know something to the case if you don't believed it is the case.

Let me ask this: if you believe something to be true and it's true, does it matter if your believe is justified?

Emmanystone:
You don't know but you confidently come out yelling at theists who knows. What is ISOC? That abbreviation can mean a lot of diff. things.

It means intentional state of consciousness.

Emmanystone:

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. He ran or you didn't have one rebutal to present? You must have copied that OP somewhere but never knew you'd meet someone who'll deflate you.

Why smear your idiocy on a public forum as this? Huhn?!! Who told you I copied the OP somewhere! Just because you're unintelligent enough to construct a post doesn't mean you should project your ordeal on other. Go find a new hobby bub.

Here you are claiming you silenced every Christian. Wait!!! Were you a Muslim? Cos this is the fovorite line.

Where in the post is Christian categorically mentioned? Read to comprehend before attacking! below is the clause which begins the sentence in the OP.

I've argued with many a theist on God's existence...

KingEbuka is still here, but you avoid him and respond to your fellow atheists.

Do you even know what avoidance is? if yes then you should know who avoided who.

Pls answer me, How did Conciousness got into you and why hasn't scientists been able to impute it into robots and make them act independently?

I've answered this. Do indulge me just as I have done.

How I got consciousness into me? I don't know.
Why has scientists not been to impute into robots? I don't know.

What's the correlation between ISOC and god?

Emmanystone:

Lolzz. If the intentional state of consciousness can exist independent of God, Scientists would have created a conscious human without taking any tissue or cell from an existing human.

Forgive me and please permit me to ask: is this a special kind of stupid? Why must god always be the beginning and end of the circle? You're just making circular reasoning.
