infriority complex is one of our major problem in this country, and we are too religious but not righteous

come to think of it

"Religion is the opium of the people" - Karl Marx (1818-1883).

No mind those oyinbo people....Na business strategy.

There is a difference. Nigerian atheists are usually very Rude, Proud and Condescending to people of Faith but that cannot be said of Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg.

So somehow, Mark and bill gates are a representation of all American Atheists and Agnostics?, and because you feel someone doesnt accept your beliefs then the person is rude, proud and condescending and somehow a representation of all Nigerian Atheists?

Is that hw the mentality goes?

You do not know these people personally.

Many of the people who dealt with Zuckerberg in his earlier days when he was trying to build a company that was built on someone else's idea, have said just that - he was rude, condescending and inconsiderate. According to those who knew him at Harvard his decision to create Facebook was driven by his social inadequacies. Same for Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.

And people of faith are even worse in Nigeria, constantly trying to force their religion on anyone that they meet.

But when you ask for proof they get angry...

So what now?
You wan use Zuckerberg preach atheism?
Abeg hole am there.

naijaboiy:
The owner of this forum is an atheist..it has not stopped people from coming here everyday.

So I don't get the point.

Guy I don't understand this OP oh. Wole Soyinka is an irreligious person, but his literary contributions are still acknowledged nationwide. Nigerians wouldn't reject somebody's input just because he's an atheist.

chinchong:
then, they probably will have been a closet atheist and then use the internet as a way of voicing out their belief just like seun and many more of us.

^all thanks to ......!

ds d problem we nigerians have, no matter how hard u carry religion on ur head, if u dnt develop urself in one capacity or the other u will end up living a wretched life. That's d only reson d westerners r beta than us nt religion its mindset

Strawman:
Who cares if you're an atheist, Christian, Muslim, idol worshipper etc.?? Contribute something useful to the society and you'll be acknowledged, just like Zuckerberg.

Exactly, that's what the "lawyer" has failed to understand. People are quick to associate with success, it's not just a Nigerian thing. If Dangote were to be an Amadiaoha worshipper, people will still have him as a mentor. One success and value is first here not religion or beliefs.

if he was an atheist in nigeria as far as he get money(ego) no problem people will embrace u, but if u are an atheist and u poor hmm my brother u on ur own o is better u even keep quit about ur atheism execpt u wanna take a trip to hell from our nigerian christians not muslims o but christians...

Gbam!!

LOL! Why was Wingback's post deleted?

Immorttal:
It takes extreme consciousness to renounce religion. That is when one seek the truth outside the boundaries of childhood indoctrination. Atheism makes a lot of sense because you'll be exposed to reality.

define reality. Religion more often than not like education makes one believe the existence of superiority hence that fear of not exploring one's imagination and ideas. You can still do that nonetheless as a religious person. My point is you are what you believe.

birdmansoho:


The irony and hypocrisy is on theist who believes it's their alienable right to always say hey I believe in God and rub it on others faces but takes offence when an atheist says I don't believe in God. If they can proclaim about their imaginary God at any slightest instance then atheist should too.

You have not answered the question.

All Nigerians ar literally rude though we have a few exceptions

Bill Gates and Mark ZuckerbergRude do not need to be Proud and Condescending to Nigerian mumu believers because they know you people are stupid by DNA so they don't bother!

How can you be rude to low mentality monkey brained people, waste of time!

No be lie, even the bible talked about a poor man being despised. People care to know more about one's value an success not religion as the OP alleged.

Some will treat u like a plague. Nd it isnt fair....like me now, i stopped going to church nd i feel so relieved but i still believe in God.

Hypocrisy when go kill this country

Mr Seun,is it true u ar an atheist?

I Have Always Wondered about this too @OP.
I am a Christian Myself.
When Zuckerberg arrived into Nigeria, Everyone was all Oooh's and Aaaah's. as He being 32 and able to Achieve all this Feat at a very Young age. Being the World's Richest at 5th and Probably Climbing Up to 3rd and 2nd in the Nearest Future.
When I discovered he was an Atheist, though raised a Jew by Faith. and He still believes Buddhism was a Good religious Faith. I was Shocked.
But If you notice something, when He and Priscilla got married 2012, they Sufferred 3 misscarriages Until Last year. They had Max.
Upon Max's arrival. They Quickly Intiated the Zuckerberg-Chan Intiative requesting that they would Donate almost All of their welath to the Charity. which would be After their Death?
Is Anything Fishy Here?
He might be very Rich and All. But to all Atheist's out there.

The Bible says "A Foolish Man Says in His Heart, There is No GOD"
GOD is Real and all Powerful. If you don't Believe, Then you should never pray to be In a Life-Death Threatening Situation. Then you are going to Appreciate the Grace of GOD over your life.

Mark Might Be AN Atheist, But that Surely Means He doesn't believe in the Devil. Renouncing his Belief, Doesn't mean He doesn't Believe Deep down in his Heart something else.

thats tru, hw many times hav u seen Zuckerberg posting about atheism on facebook or even insulting religion or religious people like Seun does, u hav to check these individuals biography before u even knw their belief but go to seuns profile on Nairaland nd u will simply know he is an atheist, sometimes I wonder the kind of stupidity that worries Seun.

Can't you see that for this statement above to be anything but the daftest depth of bigotry most (if not all) of the Churches and Mosques in Nigeria must close down.

Go and read Jesus's teaching of the Mote in the eye versus the log in the eye.

Are you sure that Seun's profession of atheism isn't a reaction to the extreme level of arrogance and social pollution caused by Nigerian christians especially, closely followed by their muslim junior brothers.

Afonjas:
But Seun is an atheist
