As a Nigerian atheist I am certain you haven't eaten today

Troll

Send your account make I give you small thing take eat.

Ammishaddai:
So because they're not meeting up with your expectations makes them hypocritical? Now I get where you're coming from...

Not my expectations. The truth. I don't stay in a cave, I have been close to lots of people, many who practice religion just for the sake of people saying hey, he is a Christian or Muslim, some who practice one then at different times practice 3 more, some who just go by the name without believing. Those who are actually religious are few. And you rarely see them online bashing other faiths. Superstition is different from being religious or spiritual.

Cooooooks, hopefullandlord, hahn, atheistandproud...
Dem dem dem

I was an atheist before 2014 so I don't know where they got that figure from.

That being said, there are real atheists in Nigeria, hiding in plain sight. Unlike Christians and Moslems they tend to mind their business. This will make it really hard to count them. Especially the ones in the North.

LordIsaac:

He is o....He is also my creator.

Your creator that was created? Lol, what a very confused religion!

wirinet:

That's a new perspective. A man who could not survive flogging and 3 nails automatically transformed into a superman after he bleed to death and now can can you from a bullet.

Lmao, na so we see am o.

hopefulLandlord:


the fool couldn't survive three nails yet some people call upon him when bullets are flying. are you having a laugh?

Lmao, e no shock you?

Oga, you failed to understand that the average Nigerian(whether Muslim or Christian)is religious not because of hypocrisy, but because the foundation of his faith is established on the existence and manifestations of the power of gods in the form of idols. And whether you choose to acknowledge it or not isn't a matter we ought to dispute because each and every person has his own twisted interpretation of what is true .

MJBOLT:

this thread triggered the religious zombies,the Muslims as usual will just look and pass but the dumb a55 Christians are all foaming in the mouth

I've noticed that most Muslims don't even bother to interact. It's always the Christians. You'd know. It's obvious.

Juoflife1:
I stopped going to church years back, but I am not an atheist. I believe in God. I listen and dance to gospel songs. I just don't go to church. This is what most people do now, and it is not being atheist.

That's just the first step.
What made you stop going to church or being too religious? You felt it wasn't necessary right? You convinced yourself that you needed to "find God by yourself". You're still scared of hell fire. The moment you take another step further and question the bible, the lies become obvious.

Namnam:

Checked stats online

I saw this video on TikTok too, I was planning to further my thread on atheism too.

Imagine a northerner atheist stuck up north, I'm not denying the fact that there could be closed doors free thinkers there but the truth of the matter is most are largely from the other regions holed up in the north.

P.S: I support freedom of belief but we all know the north see things differently.

It's over 8yrs I stopped going to church and nothing has changed. I know God exist and I reference him. I just don't believe any man or woman can lead me to God. I can do it myself

Almost choked laughing at this.

Hunger is causing it. When you are hungry and frustrated you become angry at everyone and everything. You curse your parents , you curse your debtors and those who you are owing money too. You curse your lineage and country and finally your curse your creator and suddenly stop believing in anything due to a rumbling empty stomach

All these so called atheists in Nigeria are hungry ,broke people who have tried to borrow money from everywhere no one helped them. They prayed countless times for help and none came,They converted from Christianity to Islam and back n forth looking for money to rent a one room to sleep in.

Finally one guy is claims to be an atheist gave them 2k to eat which looks like 1 billion to them and immediately they join and start ranting that do called Christians and Muslims and evil ... All because of 2k

Lol, Like I said, the moment you start seeking answers, the lies becomes obvious.
But it's cool anyways, not every person who stops partaking in religious activities would become atheist.

in which religion is part of them

Ishilove:
Don't use that one to disturb us. If you people like you can live as godless, stiff-necked heathens that's una business. We have more pressing issues troubling us in this country.

Let me say that atheism is a western word, coming out of European heathens. It's not African. In African tradition, there's no word for atheist or atheism because our ancestors understood that man/woman cannot be separated from the God force/spirit.

All you have to do to understand the intimacy of our ancestors and the God force is check the wording of our names. In ancient time, even our names were partly God. Example in Igbo:-

CHIdi
CHIka
CHIgozie
CHIbuzo
CHInenye
OnyebuCHI
ete.

Example in Yoruba:-

OLUWAseun
OLUWAfumi
etc.

You can pick any African tribe you want and check the names and it'll be clear to you that nothing happened without God as long as our ancestors were concerned.

For an African to call himself/herself an atheist, note that you're only being an atheist in rejection of the European or Arab gods, and that's a good thing. I, myself don't believe in the bible or Koran god anymore but I am not an atheist. I know I am god himself and don't need a God. You can NEVER be an atheist as an African because Africans are God by default. We Africans created God- literally. I think I'll blog about this and talk about it in full one of these days.

Africans are Gods!!

Namnam:
The atheists of Nigeria are 900 thousand people currently and growing especially as more Nigerians move to the cities and as public security starts cracking down more and more on jihadism and fundamentalist Islam as time passes means Nigeria is gonna become increasingly secular as time passes. Thoughts on this trend?

Atimes, when I have malaria, funny, unrealistic reasonings do occur. I think you may be having same. Wetin carry your mind go dey count atheists for 9ja?

Remman:
Trust me, this is a grave lie. You have never been in such situation.

Funny guy. The fact that you'd scream "Jesus" like your life depends on it in a life threatening situation doesn't mean it's like that for everyone. An atheist won't even bother saying that name to be saved from their misery. Looking up to imaginary people for help is that last thing that'll ever come to my mind when I know those things don't work. I'd rather call Santa Claus instead.

Your statement is based on your ignorance of history.

Looking at the current lifestyles of the people in the West and making such a judgement is due to your refusal to study how these countries came about.

Western education was brought to Nigeria by missionaries from Great Britain.

The United States was established by people who wanted to worship God without persecution due to the different religious belief of the King of England.

You actually know nothing about the topic you are talking about.

The current generations in the West are enjoying the fruit of the labour of all the people who lived and died over the past hundreds of years.

And almost all of those people were religious.

The same can be said for the Middle East and Asia

Mavrick2012:
are you aware that these your "wise persons" who believe in God are more in poverty society while the "unwise" atheist are more in saner societies?

BlueRayDick:
I don’t think we we have so much atheists like that in Nigeria( by atheists i mean people who actually don’t believe in the existence of God/the supreme being) , rather what we have in Nigeria is a growing case of people that have stopped going to church or mosque because they’ve grown tired of it and have seen the hypocrisy of some of the proponents of the two major religions.

Nigerians (especially the youth ) are just not interested in what pastors and Islamic clerics have to say.

That's why I'm interested in knowing the age range of these so called atheists in Nigeria

Ammishaddai:
Keep dreaming . The average Nigerian is religious so it's only God that knows where you got this figure from .

Religion subsides as soon as people have access to information. That has been the global trend over the past century.

Pretty sure Tai Solarin was atheist, or at least non Christian/Muslim.

backbencher:


I think there were atheists in this country before 2014, just saying

The more despondent a people are, the more religious they become.

At the lowest ebb and with no hope of betterment, a 'god' seems the most effective way out.

You're deluded, you know that ? Please what's the literacy level in Nigeria ...can you tell me ?

There is no need to accept people's classification.

Be you.

nathdim:
How would you classify someone who believe in humanity and love but doesn't have anything to do with religion

And your intelligent did not allow you question that beer parlour statistic?

AllahIsGarbage:
So before 2014 there were no atheists in Nigeria? I thought the main attraction of atheism was supposed to be its reliance on intelligence.
