Are you a traditionalist?

Nothing wrong with being a tradtionalist

If you're equating education to enlightenment, then YES, religion CAN hinder education.

Any form of thinking that makes you accept a proposition as fact without any form of solid proof will surely hinder education.

Religion has a way of getting your mind made up, even before you encounter an issue. Therefore you can't assess any issue without some bias.

OLAADEGBU:

You are confusing yourself. We don't call the universe God but the handiwork of God. You need to understand that Observational science is different from origin science. The theory of evolution cannot account for the origin of the universe.

whatever floats your boat

Are you also a traditionalist?

OLAADEGBU:

Yes, amongst other Fulani people I promote Pulaaku and encourage them to embrace it instead of wannabe dressing like Arab ways, and to wear Fulani clothes. I also tell other Africans to never forget their language and stop behaving like wannabe whites. I tell them Africans (all Africans not just Fulani) to stop being brainwashed by white media in regards to their ancestors. I'm a proud traditionalist.

1ord: No they believed it was flat the bible even says so. Hence they tried to submerge research and discredit the belief it was round threatning astronomers with heresies and other backwards bull.shi.t. Truth be told Christianity has been one of the most oppressive religions. They committed lots of extra judicial killings in the name of God oppressed scientific research and medicine in the name of heresy and killed anyone who didn't oblige. That is why Illuminati came about. It was established by free thinkers so they could practice and research facts and share their discoveries in secrecy hidden from the persecutions of the catholic church.The Illuminati means the enlightened ones

Quoted

Fulaman198:

Here is my problem with people who are overly religious, I don't think they reason properly. Sometimes they think that God will perform a miracle out of the sky, but that's not how life works. God wants to see you move so that you can move with God. You take 1 grand step, and God will back you up.

There are people out there who don't take their children to hospitals when they fall sick because they believe that 'God will help them.' There is a reason why hospitals exist in the first place. God placed people on this earth to be innovative and creative and not to depend on God for everything. The Almighty created humans to be self-sufficient and to be adaptable to their surroundings.

There is substance in your words, we need to make effort in life and not expect miracle frm heaven to solve all our problems for now. however, we should NOT seek first the world, then the kingdom second!

In America they found out that 200 kids must die in about 10 years because their parents believe that God will heal them and when they look must a kid die on flu or pneumonia, they give no vaccine, because they believe God will heal and when they live a life without sin they will not get sick and when they get sick than they mad a sin.

It matters because I've discovered that most atheist wannabees are either new agers or traditionalists.

and the West u see today also had hut houses

Education isn't western. personally I have realized African education is more into nature and truth than western style education...many things u learn in school today are to drive a propaganda

Nope propaganda is driven by news networks and not scientific findings.I understand your trying to defend african like education but there is no denying it .Fact is development wise Africa is slow because african styled education is sorta primitive.Yes the west had hut houses but now they have skyscrappers. Africa had hut houses why cant we transition to the next phase ? and copy our western counter parts. Look at south korea after their civil war with the north they used the western format in rebuilding their societies and now they are one of the largest econmies in the world(with over a trillion dollars . What is more truthful the earth is spherical or oduduwa created the earth with a chicken(I have forgotten the yoruba myth but it goes something like that).Truths are facts and from what i know african like education is not factual, without facts there will be no development without development we will still be living in mud houses and pounding twin babies(akwa ibom). People should pls get with this script or are y'all still learners?

You type I have come across many times.

The bold is Africa's problem, copy...we try to copy the West and forget our heritage. Korea that u mentioned never copied the West, they built on their heritage

It is only Africa that watever comes from abroad is rated the highest. We hate ourselves, how can the world see anything good in Africa when Africans don't see anything good in Being African.

I blame Foreign religions tho.

You talk of oduduwa creating earth with a chicken...yes, Oduduwa did. If you don't understand the story that's your problem

Ifa patakis are not like Bible stories

Every civilization in the world talks about creation with symbolism.. It's ur problem if you can't decode symbolism


There's absolutely nothing primitive about African education. The West learnt from Africa

Nope the earth was not created with a chicken and it is spherical the former is bullshit the latter is education. I learnt about the yoruba myth in high school and its heritage since i am yoruba yes the whole heritage stuff is nice but any information that can not be applied to take us to the next level is absolutely irrelevant .Look to the future and not the past .Did i give any inclination that i was religious whatsoever? Pls don't let sentiments cause you to make depraved decisions because any problem in Nigeria is not western it is Nigerian. There was no symbolism involved all that was involved was a chicken. I am not saying drop african education but i still have no idea what that is , but drop whatever is inefficient and has no productivity and anything that doesnt work should be dropped. How do you expect anyone to see any good in Nigeria when we are so backward. Can you blame me? I interprete data as it is and from what i know with Nigerias population man power and arable land and oil reserves we are doing a mediocre job. Although our Gdp grows at 8% per annum that is still very slow in comparison to what we is obainable look at the growth of malaysia they received independence around the same time as us. Look at the Singaporean and south Korean economic and technological revolution. Interpret things as they are and not as you wish them to be .Nigeria will get there but not by telling children oduduwa created the earth with a chicken but by proper education.Just to clarify what exactly is african education?

I say it again.

Oduduwa created the world with a chicken and a bag of sand.
If you take this literally and miss the message that's your problem not mine or my ancestor's

Furthermore how does such principles foster unity peace and lead to less corruption in the Nigerian society.I must be really st.up.id.
