excuses. The things you pray for in Nigeria are available abroad is a very poorly thought out excuse. For one, it's only Nigerian christianity that sees god as a thing to beg perpetually. When westerners where religious what was not their approach.

Nigerians see God as a casino. They will go there and insert prayers. If something good happens to them, they will go gamble more, if something bad happens, it's because they're not gambling enough. It is a mental illness and a gambling addiction.

[s]People are not religious in the west because they are educated. Real education not 'Igbos come from Israel, Awolowo transformed into a fly' that they will be telling ppl in NIgerian schools. They know that life didn't begin in israel, but africa. They know that that bible does not account for that laso 200 years worth of scientific discovery. They know that Christianity is a conquest weapon made to make conquered people worship their white rulers. Did you know that the people who set up the colony of Nigeria were not Christians? Lugard and them did not attend Church or believe in god. They simply knew what that book does to a human brain[/s].

[s]Therefore if they want something done they do it.
The rules are not different in Nigerian, Nigerians just happen to choose stupidity, laziness, and gambling. Nigerians have an unhealthy relationship with religion and it's because they're addicted unlike others[/s].


From the parts you wrote "People in the West...... Down to the end. Utter Misinformation.

IrepChrist:


Roman 8: 16
The Spirit himself testify with our spirit that we are God's children.

When your desire is to see the kingdom of God establish on earth.... it's a sign you love him.

If it pleases you to do the will of the father always, through witnessing and evangelizing, it's a sign that you love God.

If your desire is to serve him and to be in his presence always, it's a sign that you love God.

If you feel sorry for your sins and errors and you are remorseful just to settle with him. It's a sign you love him.

Your love for God should not be conditioned to location or circumstance.

Thanks for sharing this. I still see some wise people.

That does not mean religeon or faith is bad, if men decide to abuse it , its their fault not religeon.
they hide under the guise of religion knowing that our people are very foolish with matters of religion. Once our people hear anything about religion, they forget to make use of thier brain. That is why our fraudulent general overssers or church owners continue to promote it and renders more people gullible because they selfishly make huge financial gain off blind members. Also note that religion is man made. Sky daddy respects no religion.

Religeon is not man made,

One thing you forgot is that our ppl, where not atheists before the coming of whiteman's religeon.
If you remove christainity today, we would still be left with traditional religeon which had little benefits to us, and still promotes superstitious beliefs and exhortation.

Moreover, the richer the country, the less religious their people tend to be. They believe in themselves rather than believing in a supernatural deity!

Did god creat islam, christianity, budhism, and the rest. If he did, why did he claim he sent only jesus to save the world?. Why are all religious sect having differences in thier ideologies? How many God exists?

Probably you don't know the reason why we have high rate of suicide in the world.

Try this, take a bible and read the book of proverb and Ecclesiastes, you will marvel the wisdom and peace you will derive.

Life with all the riches is nothing without God. He is the source of wisdom and real peace.

Give it a try codedly you will thank heavens for that.
And you know the reason why there is high suicide rate?
How do you know?
There is wisdom across all cultures in the world not only the bible.Even more wisdom can be found in other places and books.
My point remains . That it works for you does not mean it will work for everyone

Religeon is a name given to denote man's relationships with God or gods.

There are several religeons and one true Religeon, and that is the religeon that teaches that Jesus is the son of God.

if you were born a muslim or probably born in places like china, india or other places where little is known about jesus, you probably wouldn't believe in jesus today. Invariably, the society or association you belong to definitely would have great influence on you.

same way many Christians too are abandoning christainity and embracing other faith. Don't be suprised, islam might overtake christianity as the world most practised religion in a couple of decades. More and more people are beginning to realise religion is nothing but mind control tool and not what people think it is. I particularly became very happy and free from religion oppression and manipulation the day i abandoned religion.

How is it a fraud? Can you explain? The story didn't end there. They eventually married and formalised it but not immediately. The lady was never married but had a child for her bf.

At the time of applying for a green card, where they married? The answer is no. They concocted a charade with a fraudulent lawyer and obtained the papers fraudulently by misrepresenting the facts. That is outright fraud.

Listen: LET ANYONE WHO NAMES THE NAME OF THE LORD DEPART FROM INIQUITY.

It is little things that we do and think are ok that are sins and will disqualify many from heaven. Your friend got the papers fraudulently and before God, he has committed a sin. I don't care how you decide to sugar coat it. A sin is a sin!

His name was Karl Marx and this famous quote has been misquoted over time. To get the full quote, please read the full piece in the Contribution to the Critique of Wilhelm Frederick Hegel's Philosophy of Right. I have the book itself. Sociologists in the house would know better.

Abroad, time is directly proportional to money. Too many bills, which require you must be up and running to meet your financial obligations.
Also, you will realize that too many things we pray about in Nigeria, are already in place abroad.

2 Peter 1 v 3: [b]His divine power has given us everything we need [/b]for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

Abroad is where this scripture is come to light. You will realize that God has already done it all for us. Our relationship with Him should actually be on a spiritual level, and not on the basis of prayer to have basic things of life to be provided or answered.

In Nigeria, sometimes I have to pray to God for my freelance business not to be grounded by scarcity of fuel and lack of electricity, making me miss jobs, miss deadlines and risk losing clients.

When I got to Barbados, I found out that these things were all in place. I got a house that had superfast Wifi, 24/7 electricity supply (which is available the whole island), treated water straight from the water board, with a functional solar-powered water heater. Five minutes walk from the beach. Efficient transportation system. ATMs that pay 24/7 with no downtimes whatsoever. Of course, where will you see generator that is blasting fumes and noise your way? The only time I ever saw a police officer was at the COVID testing centres. Not on the roads and definitely not carrying an AK-47 and demanding for bribe. There are countries and there are shithole countries.

Even God must be tired of those always asking him for the basic things He has already put in place for us to harness. He seeks those who come worshipping in spirit and truth, those seeking a relationship and not those seeking his blessings alone.



Hello Mr Staga,

Plz I sent you an email invitation (NAIRALAND), plz accept for further communication.
I also plan to re-locate my family to a good secure Caribbean country with zero racism...


Anticipating for your response.
