lifeispeace:You don't sound, strong and self determined. My advice, don't go into entrepreneurship until you work on your self-determination. Else you would be a quitter. Tough times never lasts, but tough people do. |

lifeispeace:Good. That is the spirit of winners. Quitters never win. God won't give you anything believe me. It's all a fade. I have said it before and I repeat it again. God does nothing for christians. Challenges are common to everyone and breakthroughs are common to everyone regardless of religion. Muslims, atheists, buddhists, you name it all have millions of people who are living good lives. You need to seat down, take an inventory of the resources and abilities you have and determine how best you can put them to sustaining your need first, then sustaining your dreams. 2 Likes |

lifeispeace: OK, job prospects for mass comm majors in Nigeria are weak...you might want to set up a gofundme, paypal, or Indiegogo (a launchpad for entrepreneurial ideas) account, explain your goals and how you plan to implement it. Then put the link here for we humans to assist. However, you MUST first work on your mind..no force is trying to stop you. I curse Jesus and Allah everyday because I know they don't exist. 1 Like |

lifeispeace:(1) Apart from not getting a job and, as an expected consequence, not being able to pay your bills, what other things have you tried your hands at? (2) Can your mum, who is religious, pay your bills with some of the money that God has been giving to her due to her belief in God? 6 Likes 1 Share |

lifeispeace: Oh setting up an account on indiegogo.com is a no-brainer! Can you now see?..you need to work on your defeatist mentality! The same way you opened an account on nairaland is the same you will create one on indiegogo! On indiegogo.com, go to "How it works", click on "Get started", then click on "I'm raising funds for a project"...there you go! |

lifeispeace: Am a very practical christian, and I only recommend what I have tested and proven to work. I have gone through your post. Things may be going wrong for you for alot of reasons unrelated to religion. But for depression, you don't seem to have found inner peace, and the only cure i know for inner peace is the scripture verse that says "come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest".. Atheism no dey pay. Not to insult anyone but I do know up to 5 atheists personally, some are wealthy but all are very miserable. A common characteristics is lack of inner peace. For your jobs dear, try repackaging yourself. Prayer has helped me countless times, I mean I have been rejected countless times on some bids i submit but each time i get frustrated and pray about it in faith, the next time i always get favoured. There's no such thing as luck. Of course you need to have a skill, have a great degree but without favour it's almost impossible to be found in a pool of intellectuals equally qualified for same job. Life is no coincidence nor luck. It has been working for me. there are other special experiences i have had that convinces me beyond doubt that there's God. As an atheist, what do you really gain? What do you lose believing in God? Seun comment above asked if your mum is financially stable seeing she's religious. But my question and reply to him is this "she may not be so wealthy to help you, but does she lack inner peace? That's more important than the wealth.. Well I pray for you to experience a personal encounter. I will give you a sign. If you can genuinely believe for a week that Jesus is Lord, read your Bible and pray to him with faith and then go ahead to submit your cv to as many places as you want, then you will get your job that same week, aside that, you will find inner peace. Are you taking my challenge? Just 1 week. Quote me when you get your job. I wish you success. 1 Like |

JimloveTM: The " inner peace" you speak of is experienced by Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians, ecks, Mormons, catholics, protestants, Jehovah witnesses and countless other religious people. Its a common religious phenomenon. As an atheist with inner peace. I find peace by withdrawing from the noise of societal life and living a calm and loving life free of hatred and evil intentions. Doing good and helping others in everyway I can also gives me immense peace and happiness. Also, Mr/Mrs atheist who thinks that god is punishing him/her. Become aware and conscious. You really need to look inwards and unlock the key to success you have inside you. Personally, I see opportunities everywhere. Acquire skills that are in high demand. For example, Programmers and software developers are in extremely high demand. True happiness comes from within. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Seun:I have tried baking,catering and a whole lot of other stuffs but they seem not to be working... as for my mom,she's far away from me...although, I don't have the same religious ideologies with her... that not withstanding, I have no qualms with her as we get along well ... but on a general note , I don't really see why someone who isn't financially stable will give foodstuffs, money and offer services every Sunday to her church in the name of fulfilling her religious duties... it's sad as I have tried my best to change her mindset about Jesus and the cross of calvary but it seems it has been deeply rooted to her heart.... |

timiawe123:You know many so called christians are not as intelligent as they presume. Happiness has nothing to do with reality or social standard of happiness. I had a friend who had everything, he was even leading his department in school. Guess what he was just never happy. He committed suicide and in his suicide note. He made it clear he did not kill himself out of depression, but because he feels peace is only found in death. We both lived in "Crystal Palace" Lodge Futa and he committed suicide during our IT. At the time he committed suicide, I was one of those who condemned him and was astonished at how "stupid" he was. Now I see he was not stupid. Happiness in death or life. Happiness in riches or poverty. People are happy when they choose to be happy. You live to 5000yrs, so what? You have 100trillion dollars, so what? There are monks in tibet that live a secluded life and they found happiness in a life of owing nothing. You think you have inner peace as a christian only because you have successfully put your mind in a state of delusional hope. The mind can be tricked and in christianity burden is taken off the mind with the assurance that there is someone called Jesus that's got your back. How can you be happy as an atheist? Don't put your self in any uncomfortable situation. Live your life with contentment even if you have ambitions, be grateful for the little you have. I remember living with my mum for a year, as long as I had food to eat. I was contented. I was never carried away by my collegues getting jobs or getting married. I am me, I have my own life to life and I choose to live each day grateful for the little I have. Grateful to god? No. I am grateful to my mum that kept me and was feeding my lazy ass. I found joy in helping her not in thanking an imaginary being. 7 Likes 1 Share |

TESTIMONY I have been in Imo state for about 2weeks now and been lodging in an hotel. Guess what? Without asking, without giving anything, just like that, the Manager came to my room and told me I should stop paying. I should stay as long as I want without paying anything. Wow! This is prove good things happen to everyone. The hotel owner is a christian, yet we both laughed at his receptionist who kept talking about the "special" program evangelist Chidi Ibenado held yesterday (friday). So what made me enjoy such favor? Don't forget this could be a testimony to a christian that would make everyone jump on their feet and shout hallelujah. Good things happen to everyone and anyone, same with misfortunes. Use your head Full gist on my stay here in Ihiagwa, Imo state coming soon and the pastorpreneurs here coming soon. 2 Likes |

lifeispeace: Lol. You're funny, you know. Your heading says you think you're being punished by some spiritual beings and in the same breathe you say those who believe in God shouldn't come and talk to you about being punishment. It is clear you're conflicted within yourself. You're not in harmony with yourself at all. Anyway, I won't say that the reason you can get a job is spiritual, you're just one out of millions who can't get jobs in Nigeria, so nothing special about your case. But I'm just kinda curious, how and why did you become an atheist? I'd like to know if it's not too much to ask. |

my dear it is because the words your mother have said and others around you who might have said 1 or 2 things negative to u is starting to affect you. you feel you are a failure because of what they said and your subconscious is starting to believe those words.
