hmm... I've always pondered what makes people hyper about this game
is it the allure of
- Becoming a ganstar/mafia
- getting to shoot people on the street
- getting chased by the cops
- in-game pros.titutes
- raw violence
- car theft
all of which are only allowed in virtually reality of the game
or something else entirely?

40,000,000? haba, that approximation is too much na. or are you trying to say that 1/3 of Nigerians are undergraduates?

Abeg they should all shut up, I'm tired of this their drama!

ariseandshine: In no way.......cos i didn't evolve from monkeys. I was created. I can help myself.

okay

ariseandshine: Another Atheist.

Yes, how may I help you?

femi4: how? Browsing and downloading @ 1-2Mbps is more than enough

depends on what you're downloading eg:

downloading 1gb at 1Mbps would take you ~3hrs

but downloading 1gb at 1MBps would only take ~20mins

MAYOWAAK: The history of the world over centuries is littered with dead religions, dead gods and dead worshipers. In some ways, we are all children of a retired god. Key events in the world always retire religions and their gods. Traumatic world events always prove the old religions inadequate. The coming of the Europeans, for instance, essentially laid to eternal rest a lot of the African gods. Other events and movements like the Enlightenment reform religion. Reformation extends the life of a religion. An irreformable religion is one that is bound to implode.

The tragedy of Africa is that it reached the information age without first passing through the industrial age. In matters temporal, Africa got to the modern age without passing through the Enlightenment. That is why some people believe that a child was born holding a mini-Koran in its hand, or that a child came out of the womb holding a cross in its hand. Why mini-Koran? Why a cross? Why something we already know? Why does this kind of phenomenon only happen in societies that wallow in superstition? If it is a message from God, as some believe, why won’t God use the opportunity to send a definitive manual of life?

The Enlightenment instituted the culture of demanding empirical proof before believing. If a woman comes into the church and gives birth to a dead horse, you don’t clean up the floor and bury the horse. You send the horse to the lab and the woman to the hospital- mental and/or medical.

Every religion that comes begets a new one. Two hundred years from now the people that will occupy this world will look at our era and our religions that we fight for and die for and call our age the Extreme Dark Ages. In another two hundred thousand years, nobody will remember what god we fought for, killed for, or died for. Just like we have no idea what god the people who were on this earth 100,000 years ago fought for, killed for or died for.

It is hard to imagine it now, but after the Third World War and after a nuclear war, a new world will emerge with new religions. The old religions left standing will go through reformation. And subtly and gradually, new religions will replace the old. Because it takes hundreds of years for this kind of transformation to be visible, it is hard for those living in that age to notice the change as it happens. We won’t wake up one day and notice that our religion is dead.

It is hard to live without the concept of God because it is hard to live without an answer to the original questions, even if it is not definitive. That is why many will stick with their religion as if it is their parents. Virtually all religions place God beyond reach- at times above the sky. Do you know why? If God is within reach, God will suffer the fate of all parents – be critiqued and be seen to have fallen short.

The trouble with religion is that for every religion to survive and gain members and fend off competitions, it has to proclaim itself to be better than the others. That my religion is better than yours is like saying that my moon is better than yours. That my God is better than yours is to say that my sun is better than yours.

To be willing to fight for your God- which is to say, kill and die for your God, is like to climb on top of each other to pull the moon until it stands still on your side of the sky. It may sound stupid but it has been done before and continues to be done.

Those who worshipped the Greek gods used to believe that they had the final answer. Those who worshipped Oduduwa used to think that their story of the creation was the ultimate. The highest level of human stupidity is the belief that our religion is the final answer to these original questions- who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Who made me? The arrogance of that assumption has no equal in human folly.

Religions come and go but the earth remains the same. Until we know the definitive truth about the very beginning; and until we answer the original questions without a doubt, religion will remain attractive. But religion will continue to promise us that we find the answers only when we die. Science is the only one trying to find answers to these questions while we are still alive. And science is the only one trying to get to the very beginning and empirically show it to us for the very first time. It may take science one million years to get there. But I am rooting for science not religion.

Nairaland Post of the YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uyi Iredia: If there is no definite concept as good and evil, then it follows that r@pe, murder, genocide, necr*phil*a etc can be said to bee good depending on the context. Do you agree ?

I do agree with Delafruita in a way.. Considering genocide for example
The nukes on hiroshima and nagasaki was termed as "necessary" by the U.S.

On murder, it's the same, soldiers literally 'murder' people(othe soldiers) on the battle field and it's considered okay by the society...

Basically, good and evil are defined by the society and context

Ayee Idris: MeN, sometimes, you just sit down and think "Why won't people hate us? Why won't people hate muslims? I don't personally know any muslim that has violent tendencies but every time u read shit like this, u wonder if it is the same religion we are all practising. I AiSha IDrisu Pereira severely condemn these and all other terrorists who kill in the name of Allah and pray that they are condemned to the hottest hottest part of hell or a worse place if it exists. My heart goes out to all the victims. Please don't hate us all.

Honestly speaking.. In the entire 22 pages of searching this has to be the only wise post from a muslim... Thumbs up from me!

^^^
smh

alnaijiri: Terrorism must be condemned by all Muslims. Muslims are already under severe pressure and persecution in many African countries, how will this lessen their plight? I pray that Kenyans will not take out their anger on the Muslims living in their midst. May God protect the Muslims living in Kenya.

so you mean the people that your religion has killed today don't deserve to be included in your prayers?... by their comment you shall know them.
religion of peace indeed.

computer programming

I'm of the opinion that most good programmers tend to be Atheist(especially those in advanced countries), because coding has to do fully with logic... you can't pray away your error codes.

runzlord: 34? Re u kidding? The last tyme i checked we have 36 states so that mean 2 states dont have a lion. Hmmmm i suspect enugu and kogi

Sarcasm or retardation?

Pastor Kun: Our govt really needs to do something about conserving our wild life.

I agree, the problem is that in Nigeria, human life isn't even valued not to talk of animal life, our elephants are also endangered too.

FYI: Russia isn't only anti-gay, they're are also hardcore racist and their racism is also based on "Religious values"

okay.. thanks

No wonder Russia is so corrupt and intolerant... I had a feeling religion was involved.
let me just drop this McCain quote here

[b]A Russian citizen could not publish a testament like the one I just offered. President Putin and his associates do not believe in these values. They don't respect your dignity or accept your authority over them. They punish dissent and imprison opponents. They rig your elections. They control your media. They harass, threaten, and banish organizations that defend your right to self-governance.To perpetuate their power they foster rampant corruption in your courts and your economy and terrorize and even assassinate journalists who try to expose their corruption.

They write laws to codify bigotry against people whose intimate orientation they condemn. They throw the members of a punk rock band in jail for the crime of being provocative and vulgar and for having the audacity to protest President Putin's rule.


Sergei Magnistky wasn't a human rights activist. He was an accountant at a Moscow law firm. He was an ordinary Russian who did an extraordinary thing. He exposed one of the largest state thefts of private assets in Russian history. He cared about the rule of law and believed no one should be above it. For his beliefs and his courage, he was held in Butyrka prison without trial, where he was beaten, became ill and died. After his death, he was given a show trial reminiscent of the Stalin-era and was, of course, found guilty. That wasn't only a crime against Sergei Magnitsky. It was a crime against the Russian people and your right to an honest government - a government worthy of Sergei Magnistky and of you.

President Putin claims his purpose is to restore Russia to greatness at home and among the nations of the world. But by what measure has he restored your greatness? He has given you an economy that is based almost entirely on a few natural resources that will rise and fall with those commodities. Its riches will not last. And, while they do, they will be mostly in the possession of the corrupt and powerful few. Capital is fleeing Russia, which - lacking rule of law and a broad-based economy - is considered too risky for investment and entrepreneurism. He has given you a political system that is sustained by corruption and repression and isn't strong enough to tolerate dissent.[/b]

How has he strengthened Russia's international stature? By allying Russia with some of the world's most offensive and threatening tyrannies. By supporting a Syrian regime that is murdering tens of thousands of its own people to remain in power and by blocking the United Nations from even condemning its atrocities. By refusing to consider the massacre of innocents, the plight of millions of refugees, the growing prospect of a conflagration that engulfs other countries in its flames an appropriate subject for the world's attention. He is not enhancing Russia's global reputation. He is destroying it. He has made her a friend to tyrants and an enemy to the oppressed, and untrusted by nations that seek to build a safer, more peaceful and prosperous world.

President Putin doesn't believe in these values because he doesn't believe in you. He doesn't believe that human nature at liberty can rise above its weaknesses and build just, peaceful, prosperous societies. Or, at least, he doesn't believe Russians can. So he rules by using those weaknesses, by corruption, repression and violence. He rules for himself, not you.

who is sidajili and how do i contact him?

he can make his own using dry ice and methylated spirit(95% isoproply alcohol)... Dry ice can be gotten from a CO2 fire extinguisher but its going to be a "poorman's version" because it'll be at 150k instead of 77k.

fr3do: Can this get to the frontpage?
Nigerians need to be enlightened.

I agree... this is something network service providers use to deceive us.

@pakingzzz, good job.
PS: does any one know where I can get an RC heli in lagos?

voltron: I was once very Religious, I considered my transparent acts of Righteousness the only way to show my fellow man the existence of God and followed the greatest commandment to Love my Neighbor as myself. I worshiped and preached and evangelized. then one instruction from a seemingly un-impressionable young man turned the Bible upside down. He said, The Bible is real no doubt, Validate it with Historical FACTS then tell me you still believe in GOD. I did (still do) and I find every reason to believe it has been a lie all along

I don't get the bolded..
@OP brilliant write up!
