@lioness funny i seem to have gone in the opposite direction to you. Religion just doesn't work for me, but i guess every man must find happiness his own way. |

 Well you said - happiness in your own way. I've found mine. & so have u |

what then do you believe in if religion doesn't work for you? Have you ever thought of your existence? What happens to you when you die and all that?  |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by ijebuman(m): 3:44pm On Feb 22, 2006 |
ciara8:not really, i suppose i'll return to wherever i came from before i was born, nothing |

"what then do you believe in if religion doesn't work for you?" hard work and luck. "Have you ever thought of your existence?" Yeah. Life is an experience worth savoring while it lasts. "What happens to you when you die and all that?" When I die, I return to where I was before I was born - that is, nowhere. |

Interesting, So how did u get your being. Your ability to feel, understand, function etc. |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by ijebuman(m): 4:14pm On Feb 22, 2006 |
I wouldn't refer to myself as an atheist, but rather see myself as a deist |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by whitesoftx(m): 11:28am On Feb 23, 2006 |
Wait a munite guys, Seun never proclaimed to be an atheist or even a deist, I'll say He's is somehow confused on which to choose! could someone ask him which he belongs, I think I have little questions for him  Even here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-4959.0.html He never agreed to be one! i guess he's looking forward to choosing one, when he finally made up is mind, I have some questions for him IF he proclaimed to be an ATHEIST  , so Seun, your choice!  |

lioness: Same way other organisms did  . My ancestors evolved those characteristics, and I inherited them. |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by lioness(f): 2:49pm On Feb 23, 2006 |
i was actually talking to Seun , but since u have decided to be mr Smart.com  , tell me, How did your own ancesstor evolve theirs  |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by nferyn(m): 3:14pm On Feb 23, 2006 |
Hi Lioness, I know you're not addressing me, but have a look at this: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-6208.0.html If you have any more questions or are not convinced, I'd be more than happy to answer |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by lioness(f): 3:23pm On Feb 23, 2006 |
Your VERY right Nferyn,,,, I wasnt talking to you |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by nferyn(m): 4:42pm On Feb 23, 2006 |
I then can't really escape the conclusion that your question was rhetorical and that you're not interested in an answer. Am I right? |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by lioness(f): 4:57pm On Feb 23, 2006 |
Whatever!!!  |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by Seun(m): 5:20pm On Feb 23, 2006 |
lioness: Interesting, So how did u get your being. Your ability to feel, understand, function etc. Does the answer matter, really? Do you care about how the components in your computer work? All I know is that: - Scientists are working on the answer and each year they uncover more clues. - Religious people, especially Christians, do not have the answer but they pretend they do. |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by KAG: 5:34pm On Feb 23, 2006 |
but since u have decided to be mr Smart.com Mr. Smart.com? Witty. tell me, How did your own ancesstor evolve theirs Mutations and natural selection, in other words, the change in allele frequency of many populations over time. Capische? |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by lioness(f): 9:04am On Feb 24, 2006 |
Yap Capishe.Like i said whatever works for you guys  Well, i have believed for so long, not believing is like changing my sex organs |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by KAG: 3:32pm On Feb 24, 2006 |
lioness: I guess. Well, i have believed for so long, not believing is like changing my sex organs It's possible, but you see no reason to? |
| Re: Any Non-Religious People In Nigeria? by lioness(f): 4:11pm On Feb 24, 2006 |

Interesting Thread, Tai Solarin and Wole Soyinka are my Nigerian heroes. At least I know a few of us can be sensible. Many Nigerians who relocate abroad, at least the ones I hang with, become atheists or at least wishy washy Christians. Sadly they are a drowned out minority, because ignorant people tend to make the most noise. I have no doubt the numbers will continue to grow as people come to their senses. Here is a group for Nigerian skeptics, atheists, and humanists to join: http://www.iheu.org/node/1472 |

Just like Tai Solarin said "Nigeria is dying today of religion" If we could somehow ban religion from Nigeria then Nigerians would be forced to into action and think of practicle solutions to their problems instead of their beliefs in prayers and faith. Besides i have never seen anything to make believe that God actually exists. Am a proud Atheist |

Opium of the masses,it diminishes with time and true understanding.You can't escape religion in a black world,almost inborn,with little or no choice,it tends to answer all the questions that otherwise would have been answered by self,with a bit of common sense and self freedom. |

redsun:Even though we live in the modern world. We africans still have our traditional beliefs to worship Gods and to look to them for inspiration hope and strenght in times of hardship poverty etc. Unlike the citizens of developed countries who would not tolerate corruption and mismanagement and hold thier leaders to accountability. |
