Other set of lies. 1. Islam is peace and tolerant of others beliefs. Happening around have proven these assertions to be the biggest lies. 2. Non tithers are sinners. Another big lie being promote by con men. 3. Nigeria is the giant of Africa. I don't know if people still tell this lie. 4. APC is a better alternative to PDP. Both of them are actually two side of the same coin. In fact, APC might just be worse than PDP. |

Re: 9 Lies You Were (probably) Taught In School by Nobody: 1:42pm On Aug 21, 2014 |
Mee234: Other set of lies. While Islam does have a tolerance problem....so too do other belief systems....and even non-beleif systems including Atheism. And yes ,some Christians too are very intolerant...see those who say ''My daughter will not marry someone from X denomination). Man is the problem....not religion or absence of religion. 2. Non tithers are sinners. Another big lie being promote by con men. Tithes and other offerings to the Lord do make an impact if used right....eg...many mission schools in Nigeria were built by tithes and offerings. Many missionaries are sponsored by tithes. Many church projects like boreholes,etc are tithe sponsored. But....tithes are not your means to get blessings from God. 3. Nigeria is the giant of Africa. I don't know if people still tell this lie. Giant...population wise. 4. APC is a better alternative to PDP. Both of them are actually two side of the same coin. In fact, APC might just be worse than PDP. Both parties do not perform because when you Nigerians vote for them.....you go home,and sit down....forgetting that voting for them is half the job. The other half involves putting pressure on the politicians you voted for to do their jobs. And if they don't....out they go.(Indeed.....if you put pressure on a politician to do his work.....even a looter will suddenly start working on the principle that he cannot lose his access to that delicious money.). I am not an APC supporter (I support one of the smaller parties..) but APC have not yet held power....so how do you know they are worse than the PDP? Still....the important thing is that APC or PDP.....pressure worketh wonders. 1 Like |

bushdoc9919:U are right about man being the problem how ever, Islam will screams peace yet Muslims are throwing bombs. Tithe is not bad but when you preach is a sin not to pay, you are a 419yer. As for Nigeria, it is pathetic when "you" want us to be proud of our number yet among the community of nations, Nigeria is treated with disdain. APC is worse than PDP because APC lie with bone face and try to play on sentiment. Besides, most champions of APC were founder of PDP. So it is a fat lie when anybody try to pass APC off as alternative to PDP. |

The biggest lie I was told in school is the National Anthem. I sang it with all my heart believing the words to be true. I believed that I have to serve Nigeria with love and strength and faith so that the labours of our heroes past will not be in vain. O'lboy, what hogwash! Growing up I realised that I was hoodwinked. Our heroes past never laboured, they actually were elites who had all the best things in life. Our present heroes are no different. They eat 1 million naira worth of food everyday where I'm still wondering where my breakfast will come from. Their children - who are the real leaders of tomorrow (another lie I was told was that I'm the leader of tomorrow) - didn't school in the schools I went to. Rather, they were in ivy league colleges abroad. Back then, I was told that electricity will be constant by december, but I found out that while the month don't usually change, the year changes. So instead of constant electricity by December 1986, it became December 1992, then December 1995, later December 2000 then December 2005 and of recent December 2012, and then December 2013 now its almost December 2014 and I'm still waiting for constant electricity. They said its one nation bound in freedom, peace and unity and I believed them. Only for my current president to say that it was only one part of the country that put him in power. As if that wasn't enough, I now found out that Nigerians can be deported from their own country. As long as my parents are not from the state I live in, I'm only a visitor and I'm only living on the benevolence of my hosts. Where's the unity!! I asked. Now, everybody calls me a fool on Nairaland for believing what my teachers taught me through the National Anthem. I'm a fool for simply wishing that Nigeria remain Nigeria. Woe betide me if I don't believe Nigeria ought to be divided. Woe betide me if I dare say anything against a corrupt person in government especially if the person is not a member of my tribe. A greater woe betide me if I condemn anybody from any political party for gross incompetence. The greatest woe is when I say enough is enough, the current president has not done anything that will make me want him to continue in office after the next elections. I'm immediately termed a Janjaweedian. What that means I sincerely don't know. So thank you OP, for this thread. For the biggest lie I was taught in school is the National Anthem. Gracias. 5 Likes |

1) a nigerian football player by the name thunder musa struck a shot in the dying minute of a football match that went pass through the wall, through the belly of the goalie, came out through his back, tore through the goalie net and the goal was cancelled by the referee because he couldnt find the ball. VERDICT : BALL MISSING TILL DATE 2) In 1990 when babangida was still the president my teacher told me we are the future leaders of naija VERDICT : BABANGIDA NAIJA NEXT PRESIDENT IN 2015 3) A certain naija football legend who happens to be a lefty struck a thunderous shot that killed his younger brother on the football pitch though his mama warned him never to strike the football with his left leg. 4) Olusegun Obasanjo and Shina Peters were yorubas VERDICT : OMO OKOROS ie NNA MEN... |

Davijunson: Now I'm getting more confused. The same scientists dat told us der are five senses are now saying it's a lie..wch one are we to believe? Science is a systematic process, new discoveries are made everyday resulting in moderations over the years. The only thing that doesnt get modified is arithmetic. The idea of 5senses was a generalization according to the post made a long time ago. Over the years, more senses have been discovered and i think more still will be |
