I praise God.

For the love of money - Easy E.

Absolutely Not. A number of people will go down but You can't fight ideology with the sword alone. Especially when your conscience is tainted and hands not clean. Battle is all about MORALE. Only a clean conscience can guarantee a definite victory.

Two wrongs don't make a Right.

ItsModella: It's funny this question is asked because I'm listening to gospel music this very minute. There is no day that passes that I don't listen to gospel music.

And you shall never go broke. In Jesus name. Amen

There is no better way to get High in the Most High than with heartfelt Gospel music. Frankly speaking, some people don't know what they are missing. They turn to alcohol, drugs, women and so on to relieve their sorrows. Well, those things only add double to your trouble. Secular music can be inspirational and heartfelt but it depends on who and what you listen to, not garbage that are out there and released every minute.

Jesus Christ said, 'come o ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest'. Christ's Kingdom is in the Heart. And one of the Channels to get through is through the Gospel.

Shalom .

PAGAN 9JA:


fu***ing JEW. you cant be trusted.

Bless Israel and be blessed brother . Curse Israel and be cursed .

Jah redeem you.

people who make technological advancement are usually not religious people. in fact, religious people are usually against technological advancement but when the technology becomes available and is practical, then religion can be used as a tool to unite people to use that technology for whatever purposes it serves. so christianity or no christianity, i think europe would still have advanced to the stage it is today coz they were technologically ready to move fwd.. christianity was just the available religion they had and they built around it.

but the chinese have nukes tho, abi?

and i used developing nuclear weapons as an example because it is technological advancement that builds a people. so it could be any other thing ranging from computers to what have u

and how was china turned around? by embracing chopsticks and noodles?

Check the foundations of Major Universities in the world and tell me who started them( clergymen). in fact, if you are not spiritual and serve the almighty God in truth and spirit, your imaginations and understanding will be limited.

Oh, why are the jews so successful? make up majority of world billionaires, computer scientists, nobel laureates, scientists, hollywood top shots, top lawyers and judges in the world today? Heck this was even eminent during babylon. The God of Israel is the omnipotent, omniscience, omnipresent.

Now, this doesn't mean that if you serve your village gods that you won't create an impact, but it will be very limited. The Japanese are shintoist. The chinese and so on. They get inspirations from their own source that creates their uniqueness.

Europe refer to their civilization as Christian Civlization; what do you think they mean by this?

What do you think is Islamic Civilzation bro?

It is all in the mind, heart, spirit and soul. In today's African societies, we now worship money and what have you. They are our new gods. Covetousness.

Should we go back to our forefathers religion to create our own uniqueness? I don't support that. We should worship the True God above all gods. Through his son Jesus Christ in TRUTH and SPIRIT and other things will be added unto us.

You will see True blessings unlock on the African continent that surpasses all understanding. Not the materialistic ones they promise you with their debased minds.

Shalom Africa

However, Europe had to create an identity for itself through religion/culture(Christianity) and that was how the renaissance started. No matter how you look at it, everything they achieved today was built on Christianity. Without Christianity, I don't think there would have been anything like Western civilisation, to be honest.

For nation building and advancement to happen, you need identity/culture. And that identity/culture is what enhances your consciousness based on necessity within your community.

Lmao @ developing a nuclear weapon. You need to win against the generational psychological warfare that has made your people empty, before you can start thinking about taking on world powers in a war of attrition. You can use China as a case study - and how Chairman was able to turn China around, by creating a Chinese identity.

I'm not in the mood for long essays tonight, but you can google how Chairman Mao turned China around from poverty and emptiness - to where it's today.

Man, you are a very smart dude. With brains like this, Africa is going places.

@OP

The fundamental problem is Value system. African problem is in the Mind, Heart and Soul. How do we redeem them all in spirit and truth?

I am on a spiritual journey with the Most High as my guide to find it. It shall be well

hmmm

The truth is an offence, ooo ooo ooo
But not a sin ooo ooo ooo
Is he who laugh last, children !

Peace and Love. Jahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Bob is my all time Favourite . He said his music will live forever !

Apparently, they are not. Mostly, the girls are seen as sex subjects. No dignity whatsoever. But what do you expect ladies? Some say, women naturally desire attention no matter how extreme it gets. Well, in this case Money and you Body are being used to get your attention. Covetousness, in order words, the new gods....

Nigeria women and African women as a whole must set new priorities or learn to live with it, cause you asked for it.

My 1 kobo

May your healing be permanent in Jesus Name. Amen.

Inferiority complex is a disease . When they get to a certain age, they will realize the magnitude of their foolishness when their skin starts to decay, that is, if they are lucky skin cancer jump and pass. Lawd have mercy .

Put God first over your relationships; goes to both male and female. Fall in love with Jesus Christ and other things will be added unto your union. Drink the Fruit juice of the Holy Spirit until you get drunk.Then, you won't have to say , "I don't know what came over me".

Man, you will have to face the consequences for your actions.

The scripture says, Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach.

We can do Revival, pray, fast and seek God to change the situation. But you know that something is fundamentally wrong, when a growing number of people see something that is naturally and divinely abnormal to be totally normal and acceptable. And tend to see those who think otherwise as abnormal and uncivilized.

The scripture also say, that the prayer of the righteous man means so much. I understand God said in the scripture, that if there is three, two or one righteous persons, he will spare the city of, i think Sodom and Gomorrah.

In Nigeria case, the politicians see themselves as Smart( Earthly smart/wisdom), they device ways and means to oppress the common man and step on the downtrodden in arrogance and deceit. They are proud of this and it seems they do so intentionally. Therefore, their end and downfall will be disastrous if they won't read the handwriting on the wall and give glory to the Jehovah Adonai by doing what is RIGHT AND JUST.

Having said all that, Change is possible, albeit fundamentally. It starts with you and me. Faith without work is dead.

Shalom

Ileke-IdI:


Omo na poem you dey write?

Babygirl, I have got a special one written just for you oko mi aka Her Royal Highness of Ekiti Kingdom .

Jah Bless

Rich man's wealth is in their city, destruction of the poor is their poverty.

If given in Truth and spirit, not at the detriment of the downtrodden. Then the Lord shall protect your path and bless your household.

But if this is ploy to taint the conscience of the Church for political gains.

Remember this, God does not play dice .

Lie is the currency of the world(earthly). You get more of this when you exalt airheads .

Limitations and expectations placed by Babylon system and another man on another man. Lest you forget this popular quote, ' the downfall of a man is not the end of his life'. A man can still dust of the dust, pick himself up and with the help of God's wisdom, understanding and knowledge can achieve all that you listed up there within a year at even 70years old or above. Go ask KFC restaurant franchise....

The expectations of the upright shall be gladness, even at 100. Shalom

Ejiné:

Hair relaxers dey cause American Accent in the cases of our pastors

Take am easy dey criticize pastors wey no do you anything. Although I can't front for anybody but I can categorically say that the Holy spirit can make you speak languages with accents you never learned or heard. I came under the influence and found myself speaking and singing in different languages that I never learned including Latin, Hebrew, Greek , American accent and so on.

@op

Nothing pass natural. Black women suffer from gross inferiority complex with long term devastating consequences( skin cancer will increase ten fold in time to come). I have so much sympathy for them. Only God can give them peace and confidence.

May God open their minds to remember what they read.

Na waoo. All this celebrity worship self. Anyways, God bless the dead.

Jah rules no matter what a gwan .

ItsModella:
Most uncooked meat come with blood in it. I don't even know of any meat without blood. Even if it's just a trace, it is still blood.

I actually do not fancy tattoos neither do I think they are worth it but some people really need to look at themselves before condemning others. Going by their logic, we are all sinners. If you shave your beards, you are a sinner. If you eat beef that had blood in it before you washed it and cooked it, you are a sinner. Sin na sin, there is no greater or lesser sin.

There is nothing like logic when it comes to spiritual matters. Faith is it. You believe or you don't. The word of God is deep and clearly stated, do not twist it with your limited 'logic' to appear important.

God sent his son Jesus Christ. He sacrificed his blood for our sins. This is why the animal blood in the old testament hold no significance anymore. So, anyone who scratches a tattoo on their body diminishes their inner being and are movable. They become weak souls and need redemption. But denial of one's conscience of what is good for our spirit is detrimental to our eternal soul.

God is the omniscience

MacLovington: .

Correct my brother. Philosophy is the basis of science and all learning. If you can't think or formulate hypotheses (plural) to prove or disprove, you cannot event. That's why you still have PhD. Dr of Philosphy in Maths, Biology, English, Igbo etc.

That is Concrete. More grease to your elbow

shymexx:

Even if the government starts doling out funds to Ph.D students for research(es) - where are the facilities to do that The truth is that, the educational system in Nigeria is fundamentally flawed from its foundation, and the country needs a complete overhaul of the system...

They need to re-write the syllabus and start again from the scratch... The country, at the moment, is just producing lousy and half-baked illiterates... Go to the programming section and see how these clowns brag about programming skills and lack thereof - when it's obvious that most of these clowns don't even understand the basics of programming and programming languages... That's the Nigerian style of education 101...

Ha ha ha . 4 Naija, people dey use mouth build plane

See Him Kwarambolo....

nnenna.1:
A lot of Nigerians are in serious denial.

That is the point. It is fatalistic; worse than ignorance.

delors: Before nko? When na philosophy, history, sociology etc students dey go study for school...

No go there abeg . Where do you think the scientific method Empiricism sprung from ? Science was initially called Natural philosophy. Or haven't you heard of philosophy of science and the likes of Karl Popper..... Easy bro. Philosophy is king if used rightly

Texas.Cowgirl:


School?

School ko. We're more concerned with BBMs and 2go. Azonto na our national anthem.

Texas.Cowgirl:


Calm down mr science.
Any sharp scientist/researcher should be able to quickly point out "abnormality" from normality in what she's studying is what I meant.

You made sense. Generally bringing in 'perception' was way off point, since it doesn't apply to all sciences

I respect the Japanese more. They bridge science with tradition. That, to me, is pure genius .

Texas.Cowgirl:


It's about both and all of the above.

PS: We lack the facilities and the Sight.

A scientist must have a sharp[b] psychology/perception to differentiate normality from abnormality. [/b]

Me search is research.

]

What kind of science do you mean? is it organic chemistry, biological sciences, quantum mechanics, rocket science, computation or pseudo science.

Abeg, no disgrace scientist. Abeg you with God

Texas.Cowgirl:
99.9% of African countries are on that list.

I'm not really surprised.

In this age and time, we're still using spinach leaves to cure cancer.

It's obvious you don't understand science. Most of the drugs you pop into your mouth are made from plant extracts. In fact, if people eat more of REAL Natural food like vegetables,food rich in fibers eg.Cassava, Yam,, nuts and not Junks that you eat over there; there would be very less cancer.

Living in Texas doesn't make you smart or civilize. Next time, think or perhaps educate yourself, lest you appear a fool in a hurry to talk without thinking.

You need to use your brain and be less agreeable to just anybody's claims on the internet.

Let me give you an example:

Nigeria manufactures cars, buses, trucks, suvs (Innoson). Manufactures complete motorcycles, including principal component parts and engines (Qinggi). Manufactures computers, tablets and accessories (Zinox). Today the world's first and only black built satellite, NigerSat 2 sits in outer space, an achievement of Nigerian scientists. The Nigerian Navy now builds seaworthy vessels from scratch, with 100% local input, like NNS Andoni, a 31m Seaward Defence Boat. The Nigerian Defence Industries builds mortars and RPG launchers, armoured personnel carriers, and manufactures their own bullet proof vests. Nigeria has three functional nuclear reactors. Nigeria manufactures and fabricates aluminium. Manufactures chemicals, including agro-chemicals. Manufactures paint. Manufactures drugs for the pharmaceutical industry. Nigeria processes solid minerals like Calcium Carbonate, Dolomite, and Limestone. I could go on and on and on..

Now, there are many countries that are NOT on that list of ''those lagging behind'', who cannot boast of 1/5 of the achievements I've just outlined.

WHY THEN SHOULD WE ACCEPT THE LIST?

When even YOU don't know what is produced in Nigeria, how will some foreign group not wake up and include Nigeria on any silly list? They know you don't read or research. That's what gives them the audacity.

I mean, just because CNN and co choose to IGNORE all scientific strides made in Nigeria (afterall is Boko Haram not the only worthy news item?) does not mean WE in Nigeria will pretend we are standing still.

She has a point. Sometimes you argue blindly.

Reverse Engineering or reinventing the wheel is not Real Science or Engineering. How many Scientific theories or new bottom line inventions have we initiated ?

Find the cure for Aids; the roots/herbs are in your rain forest and be counted among giants.
