Honestly, how many people have you seen to have made it in life,as in really made it o, without education? Even countries that don't have sound educational system have failed let alone individuals. Education is key.
Anyone who tells you that you can make it in life with education loves you. The failure of people to apply their education is their personal failure not that of the school.

Then why are you posting your messages against God, why must people believe you that God doesn't exist, which you are not sure yourself. I'm only concerned about those innocent believers reading your post, you might destroy someone's hereafter with it.
dont u also get concerned about those innocent atheists reading religious posts on a public forum?

Innovation start from within....

u know nothin abt dis. It isnt a must dat a son of a herbalist bcom 1. There are millions of herbalist sons who have dumped or do not believe in their fathers' professions could be due to civilization or exposure. so if one over kills he becoms richer like Bill Gates? What a logic! If this ur logic was true do u know how many people yahoo boys for kill?guy it seems u dont know how many people politicains kill evryday and are not caught. Do u have a proof that money ritual works? I dont think u do. Same way u dont have a proof dat god is real.
when we talk about believe, it's believed that when an herbalist son doesn't inherit his father profession, he would be punish, it's nowadays that traditional religion is now fading, u see people call their father herbalists but they are not one. The more the sacrifice one make to one's god in the traditional religion the more the god rewards the person, yahoo boys kills, stop talking as if all yahoo boys are working together, no single yahoo boy can boost that he has killed 100 people. Even 100 is too small for one to be rich like Bill gate. And people that had died in the hands of a single politician, can't be upton 0.000001% of our population. You asked if I have proof if ritual works, you believe yahoo boys and politicians do kill for ritual, you know a supreme being is behind it, we are Africans not Americans, most of them if not all of them know about this pant theft, body part harvesting, money ritual, that some people were even caught in Ogun, soka, Ibadan, lagos, Ilorin. Stop deceiving yourself as if you are not an African, you are even a Nigerian sef, where all this are common. All I want atheist to know a supreme being exists, God exists, God forbid, I'm not an Herbalist/ ritualist nor am I a Yahoo boy. I'm sure we all know how they operate, they can't be killing innocent lives like that to catch fun. Nigerian Atheist, God exists, Witches exist, wizards exists, spirit, and spiritual power exists.
If you are a non African, I can't argue with you please.

intelligence has nothing to do with beliefs.

Study diligently and gain knowledge. Do not believe. Know.

yes of courses, even though they read it, that wouldn't change them, most of you Guys might not even know the meaning of atheism, if you are an atheist, your believe that there is No any spiritual power, I wonder how a Nigerian would believe that, You believe that after you die, you just rot in the soil, or if you kill someone nothing is out there to question you. Wo, just continue being an atheist. so it won't be that I'm forcing you, I'm not a prophet anyway. We will all die, and we will see it ourselves.

I know people that really made it without education and also those with primary school cert that are doing great now. Education is key tho but some still make it outside school

I completely agree with you... going to school doesn't guarantee sound education especially higher institution... there are alot of ways one can learn more better and make more money this days...

If it were the WHITE MEN that are in charge of tapping PALMWINE from Palm Trees by now we would have seen a MECHANIZED TAPPING SYSTEM.

U can imagine that after all these YEARS of Turmoil, no BLACK MAN has ever come up with a pulley system to enable people tap PALMWINE.

OLD MEN still use ROPES, suffering and exposing themselves to SPINAL CORD injuries and Paralysis.
Most Men in the VILLAGES are Bedridden today because of such falls.

I know, but if you carry out your survey on those unemployed, those that graduated with third class, pass, or someone that stopped his education at secondary school or Diploma are the ones shouting online. I said MOST hardworking people who strived and had good grades like first class will surely get a decent job.
so all the unemployed in Nigeria have third class and ur yardstick for conclusion is poor......

1) That humans evolved from plant to amphibians to homo sapien.

2) That dinasaurs got extinct 15 millions years before humans. (Yet, in early 1990s, lots of fresh dinosaur bones and fresh decaying were found)

3) Stone or bronze age. Truth is so much knowledge has been lost. Stonehenge, laser technology etc

4) No one thought us that there were Giants on Earth. But archeology confirms it. Why are they hiding it from our textbooks?

Bro, this's a good observation I must say, and this's the type of thing that interest me. The answer may be complicated but I'll try as much as I can.

Once upon a time, everybody everywhere on earth processed farm produce with bare hands. Before the 18th century, even Europeans (white people) had no mechanized factory systems. But something happened in Europe in the 17th century- they dropped God as an interferer in human affairs and they embraced science as a way of life. This was a period they call the renaissance or enlightenment period. Europeans as a people began thinking SCIENCE!.

By that time, slavery was raging high as white people became greedier and greedier.

Industrial mechanization as we know it today, began when the slaves in America and Caribbeans began producing more raw materials (cotton, tobacco, sugar, etc) than could be processed by hands. Under pressure, the investors in slavery began inventing ways to process them with machines, else the produce would perish. This ushered them into what they call the industrial revolution, which began in Britain. It had to begin there because they were the greediest and had more raw materials than others.

That RENAISSANCE and INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION are a natural developmental curve that any society must complete in order to develop industrially. It was like a movement and it got spread to other European countries and the rest of the FREE world at that time. So within that period advances were made in physics, chemistry, biology and other sciences. Cars were built, trains built, airplane invented, ships built. But sadly in Africa, we were fully cut out of human development as we were slaves not even considered human. We lost that age of human development!.

What's worse? The Europeans have shutdown the mechanism for that scientific quest because they imposed a system of education they created, which have us depend on them for knowledge about the same science. There's no way for us to build that machine today because there're no groundbreaking scientific knowledge acquisition occurring in our native languages in those villages. We have been placed in a situation where we must wait for them to invent that palm wine tapping machine.
