Please nobody can tell me I'm not fashionable. It's all about money. Those with money can wear a torn T-shirt alone or a bra and pant and everyone will buy it from their fashion brand to also wear. Everything they wear is fashion. So I feel any local critic should stfu if I'm wearing my own. Whether it is fine or not.

True...

Even if e dirty and dey produce uncommon scents, na still style grin

Religion / Re: Noah : Similarities With Ancient Near Eastern Mythology by MightySparrow: 8:04am
Lucifyre:
The story of Noah and the "Great Flood" is basically one of the most iconic yet apocryphal tales in judeo - christianity. We all heard the story growing up, but without even considering the implausibilty and feasibility, we may have overlooked the mythological elements similarly found in ancient near eastern cultures. The paralllels with the mythology of these older cultures and religions basically explains the origins of the apocryphal tale and how the it was passed down overtime to newer cultures and religions and adapted for purpose.

**The Epic of Gilgamesh:**
One of the most notable parallels to the story of Noah is found in the Epic of Gilgamesh, an ancient Mesopotamian poem from around 2100 BCE. In this epic, the character Utnapishtim recounts a tale very similar to Noah's. Like Noah, Utnapishtim is warned by a god (in this case, Ea) about an impending flood. He builds a massive ark to save himself, his family, and representatives of the animal kingdom. After the flood subsides, Utnapishtim sends out birds to search for dry land, much like the dove sent by Noah. The gods in the Epic of Gilgamesh decide to flood the earth due to human overpopulation and noise, while in the biblical narrative, God sends the flood to cleanse the Earth of wickedness.

**The Atrahasis Epic:**
Another Mesopotamian text, the Atrahasis Epic, dating back to around 1700 BCE, also features a flood story. In this tale, the gods create humans to serve them, but the noise of humanity becomes too much to bear. The god Enlil decides to send a flood to destroy humanity, but the god Enki warns the protagonist, Atrahasis, to build an ark to survive the food. This flood is caused by the gods' frustration with the noise and overpopulation of humanity, echoing themes found in both the Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Noah.

**The Ziusudra Myth:**
In Sumerian mythology, the Ziusudra myth tells of a great flood sent by the gods to destroy humanity. Ziusudra, the Sumerian equivalent of Noah, is instructed by the god Enki to build a boat to escape the flood. After the floodwaters recede, Ziusudra offers sacrifices to the gods and is granted immortality. This story predates both the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Atrahasis Epic, iindicating the enduring presence of flood myths in ancient Near Eastern cultures.

Basially, the story of Noah and the "Great Flood" is just one iteration of a widespread mythological motif that transcends neighouring cultural and religious boundaries, nothing more than myth.The implausibility and contradictions in the story itself further enhance this claim. Like the varying accounts of the length of the period of rain in the flood. How all the species alive(considering biodiversity and geographical and climate challenges) fit into a boat of that size when they're in millions and wouldn't even fit in the largest mordern day cruise ship.

For example was it just 2 bears or 2 Brown bears, 2 black bears, 2 polar bears, 2 sloth bears... lets not even talk about more biodiverse species, some of which have gone extinct. Its not just feasible or plausible. Flood myths have been a part of ancient near eastern cultures and the hebrew tale is nothing more than an iteration and adaptation of the tale from older cultures. A myth and nothing more.































Logical but......

Moses was able among other things to trace human race to the first man. After the flood, he detailed how man filled the earth and the human species by generations and placements on earth. The other references have not been able, except you provide evidence.

Politics / Re: President Tinubu Is NOT Back. Nigerians Have Been Scammed- Again. by Deogratiasfx: 8:03am
MyExpression:
Breaking news flowing in 99.90fm Abuja, has alleged that the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not arrive Nigeria yesterday as announced yesterday in the media.

After his reported return, there has been no new picture of the President or true video of his arrival.
Those working at the Nnamdi azikiwe Airport, have not confirmed a VIP arrival.
There was no notable traffic around the Airport road, as usually experienced during his trips.
Even a private jet and helicopter straight to the villa, would land at the airport first.
THISDAY newspaper investigated the video uploaded by NTA, and found out it was same video of the President's return in February this year.

As you may recall, Nigerians were complaining about the disappearance of the President for 2 weeks and counting, after his trip to Riyadh.
There has been speculations about the whereabout of the President.
Some have said he is in France, others say he is in London...we don't know where he diverted to after his program ended in Riyadh.

You may recall, that the vice president- Shettima was slated for an international program yesterday 7th May, 2024.
After Nigerians expressed their dissatisfaction over the absence of the president and vice president at the same time, the presidency, instead of honourably telling us that the trip has been cancelled due to administrative inefficiencies, they claimed that the jet developed mechanical issues and the trip had to be canceled.
Please tell me, for a trip that important, you mean the vice president couldn't charter another flight immediately?
Tell us something else.

Hadi Sirika, former aviation minister, did the same thing with Nigerians when he floated the Nigerian Airways. They displayed a public charade over a clearly deceitful arrangement.

The question is still unanswered...... #WhereIsOurPresident?

Pls leave Nigeria matter if u want to live long for ur family. Just trust God for ur life to be a very happy one that's all.
