Religion makes us weak, it makes us believe things that are not real, it makes us fear, it makes us feel guilt, religion is what sets our limits, thank God we have science, we will all be dead by now... religion can't cure your cancer, malaria etc... religion in NIGERIA has turned to an OCCULT.

Which youth? with the kinds of posts I read from most Nigerian youth on nairaland, it is evident that the youth stands nowhere and no chance. Let them continue to book spaces and hurl insults and abuses on nairaland.

The youth may have a shot at being involved in nigerian politics when they stop bothering themselves about the massive clivage of Halima Abubakar and Tonto Dike's g-strings.
They have to start with making inteligent statements, not 'GEJ my hero, Fayose my role model' kind of slogan that bothers on stupidity and insanity.

Lagos—The Lagos State government yesterday said at least 24 religious outfits were shut in year 2014 for contravening the State guidelines on noise pollution.

The state government further said the new Material Recovery Facility, would be established to capture the huge waste generated daily and boost the Waste-to-wealth programme in the state.

Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello and General Manager of the Lagos State Environment Protection, LASEPA, Mr Ademola Shabi, an engineer, disclosed this at the 2015 ministerial press briefing held in Alausa Secretariat, Ikeja.

Shabi reeling out the activities of his agency in the year under review added that 13 industries were shut for violating the environmental guidelines set by the government.

He lamented that the pollution generated daily in the state was increasing and the government must embark on measures to reduce it, adding; “We received over 1, 000 petitions in the year under review. But we have been able to resolve some and some have relocated.”

According to him, “We have shut about 24 religious outfits in the last one year because they failed to adhere to the state guidelines on noise pollution.”
The general manager explained that these religious outfits contribute “the religious outfits contribute about 50 percent of the noise pollution in the state. In the last few years, we have been having problem to control noise from these outfits. We have been able to shut them down while some have relocated from the community where they were.

In the city where i live , there are more churches/ mosques than commercial/ industrial outfits. That usually have correlation with poverty levels. Anyway, the government of ogun state must do something urgent to confront noise pollution. Worship centres in this state are too reckless with the use of loud speakers.

Rilwan Akiolu thinks this is the 17th century where he can just make a proclamation and it will stand. He thinks people will act under his whims and caprice... He thought wrong.
No one is above the law, not even this Uncouth Oba.

"My people perish because of lack of knowledge....." That's what the bible says and that's what's is happening to people who get duped by the so called men of God

StBlack1:
To be candid, I'll have prefered a ruthless crackdown on all these disgraceful set of theiving groups like OPC, AFENIFERE, et al if I am to be a president. I will personally see to it that these groups defaming the pride of Yorubas face some consistently harsh politically-motivated witchhunting that will eventually lead to their abrupt end. WHAT RUBBISH. !!

This is not a military era and neither is it a period of anarchy when such groups are needed. If we Yorubas have problems with foreigners (which we dont), there are myriads of strategies at our disposal to deal with them easily. But using such irresponsible groups to drag the pride of Yorubas via politics is something we really need to contend with seriously.

Where are Africa's greatest minds in science? I mean our own equivalents of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein.

Discovers, Inventors, Astronomers, Premier Physicists, Theorists and Originators.

Why hasn't there been a Nobel Prize winning scientist on the Black side of Africa?

Are we saying that we have no such geniuses?

Why do we tend to lean towards seemingly "se..xier" and right brained paths to glory: i.e. arts, movies, business?

Is this a root problem for Africans? A natural aversion to challenging the status quo and generally unscientific minds?

Correct me if I am wrong - can anyone name foremost Black AFRICAN names in the sciences. Nigerians, Ghanaians, Kenyans, etc?

Suleiman Hashimu, will no doubt enter the Guiness Book of Record as the first man to trek from Lagos to Abuja.

‘The Traveller,’ as he is now been called, had vowed to walk from Lagos to Abuja if Muhammadu Buhari won the 2015 presidential election.

Hashimu arrived Abuja yesterday evening after trekking for over three weeks.


Hashimu, a native of Katsina State, said he was in Lagos when Buhari was announced the president-elect of Nigeria, so he left Lagos at about 5am the next day and arrived in Ibadan around 6pm.

Narrating his ordeal to newsmen upon his arrival in Abuja, Hashimu said he had gone to get a police report at Ibadan to allow for an unimpeded journey, but that as he could not wait for the processes to be completed, the divisional police officer (DPO) gave him his phone number.

The journey man said when he first embarked on the journey, many persons discouraged him, especially family members but he never gave up.

He told journalists that in Ilorin, people accompanied him for several miles until he stopped at Oloru, where he received much hospitality in Jebba. He said unlike other villages, he met people who had heard of him.


He further explained that about 20 people set off with him from Jebba and after some miles, 18 turned back, but the other two were more strong-minded and followed him.

The Traveller narrated how they encountered armed robbers close to Mokwa, but that, fortunately, he had already met one of them in Jebba and the would-be robber ended up giving him N200 for ‘pure’ (sachet) water.

Hashimu said he continued his trip from Mokwa to Kudu, then from Kutigi to Bida, and then to Suleja, after which arrived in Abuja yesterday.

Upon his arrival in Abuja on Monday, many residents were already waiting to receive him.

When residents of FCT saw him, the chorus of Sai Buhari rented the air.

Unconfirmed report said a top politician had already paid for a room in Transcorp Hilton where he would lodge.

Hate the oyibos or like them, they are light years ahead of us.

Imagine only Africans leaving in a world of HIV, Ebola, Cancer, etc. We would still be running around 'praying' and appeasing some gods while the disease continues ravaging the people.

We lack the capacity to THINK, so we explain away every circumstance as Spiritual.
