I am fully convinced that to be influential, one needs power and money provides that power. Especially in Nigeria


I am looking at buying a range rover if I move to Naija. Unfortunately, my dad aint gonna pay! . Yes, pay millions for my education but when it comes to swag, I am on my own



Now, you are asking why I am desperate for a range rover and I am talking about wealth. I know a Chinese girl in london that drives a range rover who is bhuddist. She is a friend of my Asian friend. I am not close friends with her but we have mutual friends because we went to the same university. Guess what? She has many Nigerian born again friends!

The issue here is that these same people bash other religions (they think I am a christian) and so, they freely bash Buddhism as a morally bankrupt religion that doesnt relly have a concept of good and bad since it accepts so many paths to spirituality and is sometimes very atheistic. However, these same people like the chinese girl because she is very patient and calm. She also has swag with the range rover. Now, one of my friend says that he is sliding from his christian faith and he used the chinese girl as one of many reasons he gave. He said that if religion does not make anyone good or bad and that a buddhist can be good why must then christianity claim to be the one truth and the light?


Now, we have seen two things, people are won over by;

a) Good behaviour
b) Wealth/swag


The chinese girl had nothing in her personality that they could use to hate her. She was not abusive like some of them. The issue of wealth come in when you notice that people think twice before they insult someone driving an expensive car or showing affluence.
Consider Richard Dawkings for a moment. He is an atheist respected for his intellect and manners. However, the mega-church pastors, bishops and christian speakers wield more respect in the public than Richard Dawkings due to their wealth and power behind pulpits.

Who has more respect, Chinua Achebe or Soyinka or Oyedepo? Oyedepo.

Oyedepo can fly to Australia and find a christian politician to pay so that the politician can come for an all expense holiday in Nigeria and attend his sermons. Money brings opportunities. Soyinka will have a hard time finding a publisher to push any new book he pens. Past glory doesn count. Profits matter to the publishers.



Another thing is that money brings protection. Security is always an important issue for the atheist if he is to survive in Nigeria. Enough times in America has it occured where christians threaten atheists that atheists respond with expensive lawsuits and reports to the police of death threats. Such response shuts the christians up. It takes money to file such lawsuits. In Nigeria, I remember one pastor that was cursing one big man who then used soldiers to beat him up. His congregation abandoned him forever seeing that the pastor was made to do frog jumps like a child.



[size=18pt]No one listens to a poor man. Get that swag, atheists. No one can argue against a good behaviour and a range rover.

Sermon is over, please donate to the logicalist church of atheism, yourt tithe will be used towards a range rover and then a private jet!

Money, power and respect goes together, especially in Nigeria, no doubt.
But genuine respect comes from admiration of a person's character and charisma and that cannot be bought with money.

I support your desire to amass wealth in order to gain the respect of Nigerians, cos we celebrate what we should detest and detest what we should celebrate.

Best wishes sincerely from my heart to you in your quest for big wealth.


By the way, where can we donate money to support your ministry. I expect you to write your paypal/bank account.

Nice one.


However, the only time I will truly ask for donations is if I am going to use the donation for a project or something that helps other atheist or other people who are vulnerable. To use the money for personal gain is to follow the same immorality of criminal pastors.



That being said, if only my parents supported my atheism 100%, things would move faster with money. Anyways, can wait to start working and making money!

And all there fucking atheists everywhere. Fire and brimstone! These are the signs of the endtime!! It's stated in Revelations chapter 59 that many will profess their disdain for god and godly things, and become deviants. This is it. Homosexuality and lesbianism and atheism. The devil is in your hearts, and the lord god will cast you out on the last day!
