What fact? That atheism is a religion based on belief?

I think you and anybody that think atheism is a religion have comprehension issues that you need to sort before coming into this discourse. I can't understand a definition for you.

Look I seldom comment on NR simply because there are lots of Kids running wild looking for who to Insult as its almost impossible to hold meaningful discussion or debate here without kids getting Rude or throwing Insults. I might not know who you are but I don't think you are one of the world leading Expert on Atheism. I am not here to teach or Convince you of anything because that is beyond me... but I do mention experts across the world Debating this very Issue... Many Books has been written by reputable people and this has always pop up :Atheism is a Religion based on Belief: I have watched Debates by Real people that are known across the world and not these back and forth on NR... Be well.....

Boyloaf came to the Country I reside in, on behalf of the Nigerian government (Jonathan) to discuss business and you need to see the high level of people he was dealing with. Well Some Nigerians say they deserve to be Billionaires cos others made money from their Niger-Delta... Oh well! That,s Naija for you

Olamide's juju don fade.

What is he even saying?
Truth be told, Efe has no talents he is just a cunning guy who won a reality show by whipping up sentiments through celebrating poverty.

Smart guy
He wants an easy guy who he is certain won't outshine him on his label.

Insecurity and envy made him not renew contracts for Lil Kesh, Viktor and Adekunle Gold.

But trust me with Efe, he can give him a contract of 12years, because he knows his music career will never blow

YBNL now YBNA
Yahoo Boy No Artiste

103 likes? And you just said he is envious of Kesh and Gold? How can you be envious of the Golden goose that puts Money in your Pocket? Please help me understand this. That Dr Dre would be envious of Eminem because he Spits Fire and Outsold everyone, and he forgets the very important fact that Eminem makes money for him?.... I have never ever come across this type of thinking in my entire life so that is why I am lost here.. As someone that's into the arts, I will never put down anyone ... But Lil Kesh has nothing on Olamide, actually lots of people still doesn't know who he is and it will take a very long time to catch up with Olamide, if that is actually impossible cos artists dont have that type of longevity today. Many of my peeps here doesn't even know who the kid is. Anyway whatever y,all have against Olamide don,t overdo it. Dude got his fame and whatever through hard-work and perseverance.

MizMyColi:
Thanks Aragorn.
I appreciate your kind words.

Bless you plenty!
I hope to be seeing more of such post on NR. Please keep in touch

You said you dont understand how some tricks on youtube were done and i volunteered to explain to you if you share the link. Have i done something bad?

Oops sorry about that! No of cause you have not done anything bad. Please accept my apologies

The operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a 39 old man for sleeping with four secondary school boys he lured into gay relationship. The suspect, Victor Akagha, male, 39, from Owerri, Imo State living at 20, Mustapha Kosoko Street, Ijesha, Surulere was ambushed at the victim’s school, where he came to pick him with his car.

Akagha, a betnaija agent with several shops in Lagos had slept with three other teenagers before he was arrested by the operatives on 9th of May, 2017.

The suspect disclosed to investigators that he engaged his previous teenage lovers through Facebook, adding that after meeting, he took them to eateries where he treated them specially to all sorts of meals.

Akagba disclosed that he had been spending fortunes on his teenage lovers in order to make them feel comfortable and accede to his requests whenever he needed them.

He added that he bought new phones for them whenever he met any partner online. He explained that he bought an Infinnix Hot phone for his new partner, one Ikechi, 15, a secondary school pupil in Surulere, Lagos.

Ikechi told investigator that the suspect was to sleep with him when he was arrested.

The suspect has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba for further investigation.

One of the Deep points we might be missing from this post is How Materialism is fast Destroying the Nigerian Society. I mean what does a 15yrs old boy need that type of phone for? And where does he tell his Parents he got it from? As a Kid growing up in Nigeria, I dare not have such an expensive thing cos I would explain to my Parents where I got it from. And the Madman here says he spent a Fortune on the Kids when he looked like someone that could barely take care of himself. Going to school to defile people,s kids... I feel like throwing up

Ultimus:
I wonder why you people are always keen to group atheism as a religion.

People tag it as a Religion because it,s based on Believe! Some of the Biggest in the world has Debated Countless times with Creationist and they could not deny that simply fact. I suggest you,all watch some of those debates cos nothing Beats watching Experts debate. You learn a lot from it

chemystery:
Do you watch (or have you seen any) magic trick at all? Give me those youtube links and i will explain to you how they are done

Hahahahahahaha..... you do not even know who I am and yet you want to explain Tricks on Youtube to me? A 100$, or 100£ says if you see me in person you wont say that. Yet if you do, I will give you that with no questions asked

MizMyColi:
People like this are the reason why I can not just find peace with supporting abortion, except under life threatening circumstance.

I understand that for every i go dye, there are 10 more "useless" people whom most people feel should have been aborted than being allowed to exist.

Still, I think it is not in any our place to determine who lives or dies (there are exceptions nonetheless).

I'm not judging anyone or condemning for that matter. This is my personal opinion. If it resonates with you, FINE. But if not, kindly fling away like thrash.

I pray never to have any reason to abort a child. This is my heart's desire. No matter the situation. I depend on heaven and my father almighty to give me joy and happiness and provisions to carry the child to term.

Look at small igodye of 38 years ago, who would have thought he would become what he is today?

Children are gifts. They are treasures. They are angels. They are my mumu button.
Be good to them. Life is what we make it.

One of my best post on Nairaland so far and for that I just want to say..
1, I Respect you a lot
2. I already like you
3. You don already become my friend Kpakam!
4. Hope I will get to see you in person someday
5. I no dey house now, I for look for small thing Dash you
6. Please keep in touch and many Blessings to you

Its not everyday I get to reach such a post on Nairaland

Powerful man. He singlehandedly installed the present Oba of Benin

Excuse me!!!!!! Installed Who? That Throne is Hereditary! Nobody Installs the Oba of Benin. He is Born a Prince and becomes the Oba once his own father dies, so It is automatic. Igbinedion actually pays Obesiance to the Oba, who can also suspend him. Yes Igbinedion is a Rich and Powerful man but in Benin when it comes to the Oba, he is just there and nothing more. Bini people Respect and Revere the Oba so much oh

Airforce1:
This is just an eye service.

My friend (Yoruba) and I visited London from Holland and met his younger brother at Victoria Station and his younger brother Greeted him Like this at Victoria, not minding the usual Crowd at the Station. Many Yoruba people greet like this and its part of who they are. Though am not a Yoruba but I love the young Oni of Ife so much that if I meet with him I would love to greet him like this

Na wa o....even person who you would think should know better follow join too.....do you think Versace has not trade marked her logo?the Medusa head?....and you think slapping a trade marked image or font on your product is not a crime until u get caught?..so becos it happens in Europe means its right?

By all means....encourage her. Me myself I'm proud of her and she should be an inspiration to other young ladies who are looking for a way to be different... but don't get stuck on that minute but important detail of not using other people's trademarks without their consent. its wrong whether in Europe ,America or Africa

That is not the point of my posts. That person should have advised her while commending her entrepreneur skills. Rather they are knocking her down and for what?
The lady might not even know about these Trademark things you are talking about. So rather than advice her people are knocking her down. And some these people patronise Fake stuff from China. Name wah

erico2k2:
whats the point of this long epistle when infact it holds no water? no one encourages fake in the EU, the fact that this practice carries o n in your domain just means they have not been caught yet.
PS.na small difference dey btw Italy and Nigeria.

This long epistle is saying people should not knock others down that are trying. They can be given Positive advice without knocking them down. My Country here carries one of the Strictest. Penalties on Fake stuff so I know a whole lot about that. Bottom line lady here doesn't have to be knocked down like this. Same people doing this, buys same or worse Stuff from China and help them grow their economy

fallout87:
She's making fake gucci and fake versace and you want us to applaud her?

How is this any less fraudulent then credit card scamming or the other 419 Nigerians are known to do worldwide?

Smh

NO she is not. Rather she is making Shoes and using those Emblems to Decorate them. I recide in Europe and they do the same thing here. I have been to Versace, s Original Store in Milan Italy and I have also been to Napoli where many people make Shoes and use same Emblems to Decorate them. In London, Holland etc you will find them cos they are not breaking any law. The only time they can break the law is if they Labelled and Call their Shoes Versace, etc.. Which this Lady has not done. Finally the Prices of Versace etc are very Expensive and that's it. Please Nigerians should Stop these "I must Criticise Everything" The Chinese economy was Revamped by people like this girl that are taking the bull by the Horn. They Mass Produce everything. I will look for this girl and encourage her, cos I am truly proud of her. In this day and age where people are BRANDING Nigerian Girls as Lazy people that depends on men. We should be Celebrating these types of Lady that are correcting that Negative image and not criticising them cos in truth there is nothing to Criticise her for, rather she is contributing to the economy and not breaking any law

Japhet04:
I met this girl recently everything has been going well until she found out I am an atheist, she started avoiding me and said she doesn't want anything to do with me because of that fact.

I really like her , is there anything I can do to ignite a change of mind on her part

As a Nigerian Christian that recides in the West, I respect people and their Choices as we have many Atheist here. Still, when ever I see Nigerians back home say they are Atheist I truly wonder about that. Cos am like Are there really Nigerians that doesn't believe in The Supernatural, Spiritual realms, Powers.. etc.? I mean all the Ritual Killings are for fun and not real? Even on YouTube you could Watch videos of. Shango Festivals, and see things defying mother Nature and western sciences . I mean we don't see all that over here but in Nigeria / Africa there are way too many things going that it becomes funny to hear some Say they don't believe in the supernatural. Very strange indeed.
Anyway I know am off Topic as this is about your and your girl etc. So lemme apologise for that

PapiSmith:
This is what happens when you give birth to irresponsible kids that should have been used for rituals...No matter what he had done you shouldn't talk rudely to him in public.

I hope you know karma doesn't give a fück who is right or wrong, it only gives you what you do to others...and people wonder how curses are born. I weep for the unlucky guy waiting to marry this rug rat

https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/wtfita1.gif

This is the type of Mentality why Nigeria is not progressive as it should. For crying out Loud see what you wrote about the Girl without knowing the core details. Giving Birth to a Child doesn't make you a Father or Mother, but actually investing time Raising them and all that hard work, and even if you are not there cos of Divorce etc, you still Strive to be in the Picture. Children shouldn't be like Toys you use for Public Stunt. I am brought up by two loving Parents and am doing my best Raising my own Kids. But I also know that Kids are not properties of Parents to do with as they Please. As Kids we were also told the Bible admonished us to Respect our Parents etc Which might be part of your write up.. But the Bible also admonished Parents not to Provoke their Kids which we were not told about when growing up. I know Segun Arinze personally and while am not Privy to his personal business... You can tell from the Daughter's Response that she is Deeply Hurt. And he could not even call her on her Birthday but to use it as a Publicity Stunt. If it's Europe here, the daughter would just go Gaga on him, but her African upbringing makes her still Respect him and call him Sir. Please lets be Sincere when we talk about delicate issues like this. From her post, Segun Arinze is very Wrong and should Apologise Period.

And if they check his house now, his Mai-Guard is probably from the North. So it's not about having Guards that are ready to take Bullets and Give up their lives to Protect you, Nmbanu! It's rather about where they come from. After being part of the Elites with a fat pocket, FFK is now the people's Champion? Abeg Gerara-Hia wif ya Rubbish. Anuofia! Who this one wan deceive?

rozayx5:
ffk might have lots of haters

but he sees thiz northern agenda well

even when others cant see it

All of a Sudden he sees shey? Go watch his Videos on YouTube praising the same people he now hates like his life depends on on it. I would TRUST a GOAT with YAMS than trust this Basket mouth.

Just like you, I am also embarrassed that someone that lives in the WEST could be going off about GOLD! Can't you buy it yourself? Your Mum is annoyed that the Gold is not Real even though they didnt collect so much from him. Just listen to yourself. Truly Shameful. Here is how a Proper girl with a good family behaves "A guy from Europe went to Nigeria to also pay his girls bride-price and they put lots of Money in a Bowl and gave tp the Girl Family, they took 20naira out, Returned the Rest saying they should use it to take care of their Daughter" Back in Europe the girl was overjoyed that it all went " That is how good people that are ready for Marriage act. It seems you and your Family are not. I can't blame the poor guy. Nobody wants all this type of Drama.

Senipapa:
Seconded, How do we achieve this? even the youths who are the supposed leaders of tomorrow are not ready for power, majority just want to get there and pocket a large portion of the National cake. I voted APC in the last election because I felt PMB could be our Thomas sankara or Jerry rawlings but it's clear I was wrong. What's the way out of this conundrum?

You are not WRONG for VOTING him! Do a good research and see the Agricultural Revolution taking place gradually. The man is not even there 3yrs and Nigeria might soon be self reliance on Rice etc.. Despite the extremely low price of Oil (Our only income) when Buhari came in. 3 yrs is not enough to fix what has been Destroyed and Damaged for more than 30yrs. By the end of next year watch Price of Food Drop drastically. You guys have not Clue how many Private people are going into Agriculture as we Speak. Just hold on a bit and also have in Mind that Buhari is not a Magician and cant fix everything...

FirstCounsel:
I just got a soft copy of the book this evening. Tomorrow public holiday I hope to feast on it all day God willing

How much does it cost, and where can it be bought?
Thanks

LordOfNaira:
No rapture. No Jehovah and Allah.

If there were a God, he won't be as petty as the two gods. Rapture my foot!!! My brother, better help yourself and enjoy your life. The rapture is a scam to hold you people in the church and collect all your money. Notice how less churches are emphasizing the rapture (who rapture epp?) They only mention the rapture to keep you coming to church. They preach more of tithes now and live large. They know there will never be a rapture. My brother, YOLO.

Repent, my brother, and stop following false gods from the Middle East. There is no difference between you and idol worshippers. Worshipping a dead Jew is pure idolatry.

Not even Scientists talk like this. Rather they say " We don't have ENOUGH EVIDENCE to say there is God" They don't conclude like you just did cos there are Trillions of Things about our World and Galaxy that has not yet been discovered by man, so nobody can make a definite conclusion like you just did. Finally if there is no GOD, where did we come from? Out of thing air? Are we product of accident? If you say yes, then here is a puzzle.. Accident cant create Intelligence! The human mind and body is too Complex to be a Product of Accident period! So regardless of whether you believe in God, Spirits, etc Nobody cant write that off because they don't have all the answers. We will never have all the answers even if we live a billion years.

dlondonbadboy:
Buhari just made the greatest mistake of his life...granting NNAMDI bail..He would regret he ever did..
God bless NNAMDI kanu..The one true messenger of God almighty..He is the true deliverer.

While director is gaining his freedom, the dictator is losing his life..coincidence? I think not...

This is what I don't understand, is Buhari the Courts? Despite all the different version I have heard about this Saga, I never for once believed Buhari dictates how this goes. He is neither the Courts or the Judge. And this new chapter has proved me right. A Judge has granted him Bail and Buhari can't do anything about that since he is not the Law period.

Human beings are fragile, weak, and prone to illness. We all get sick at one time or another, some more seriously than others.

Oh Allah! The Sustainer of Mankind! Remove the illness, cure the disease. You are the One Who cures. There is no cure except Your cure. Grant Sai Baba a cure that leaves no illness.

Amen and Amen!

May GOD almighty in his infinite mercy continues to Bless and Strengthen our President in Jesus mighty name I pray Amen.

First of all there is nothing like Competition or you would be Competing with yourself. Nobody is Discouraging you from coming, rather people are Warning you about what to expect. 1. Things are not as Rosy as you might believe, the work ethics are different and you dont cut corners. 2. People were also shocked when they first came here and many said "Like say I no, I for no come" Millions have said this Countless times and that is what they repeat to those back home. But now that they have spent Money, Loans, Difficulties to make it here, they decided to tough it out and that's why they didnt return back, though few Returns back 3. There are some people that are just not meant to be here and cant face or cope with the Pressure of the WEST coupled with the Pressure they receive back from home and such takes their own lives.4. Once nobody says you should stay back and not come, they just want you to know what to expect. We did a Movie long ago about Life abroad. Go to Youtube and check "Under Pressure Holland" 5. Finally many people might have been able to Manage and Cope if they were Selfish and just looks after only themselves, but NO! a lot of Pressure is from people back home. You work and have to Share your money with Family and friends back home, while the people here work and use the money for themselves only. That's basically it. Bless

Miyachi:
My only question is this, why would you nitpick parts of the old testament to follow and leave the rest. What does Galatians 3:10 say about relying on the works of the law. There are over 600 laws the Jews had to keep, why do you all neglect those. Of all the Christians I've met none has been able to give me a concrete proof of argument for giving tithes. Why do you also neglect the stringent requirements for tithing, read Deut. 14 and tell me if it resembles how tithes are given today. And apart from the 10% tithe there were other tithes to be given, do you give those. Do you know that on the seventh year no thiting is permissible, and please when is the seventh year.
It is none of my business if you give your thite or why you give your thite. But to say that CHRISTIANS are mandated to give thites is just purely baseless. JEWS under the law where mandated to give thites from the increase of the land (Israel). What God expects of us is to give out of a cheerful heart and not out of compulsion. If you choose that it is a tenth that you want to give, that is a different matter.

Thank you oh!! Nigerians are Simply too Lazy to Read the Bible or they are just not Interested in GOD but their Pastors who they actually worship and accept all types of Craps from. I work with Jewish People and am amazed at their Laws and Traditions.. Nigeria Pastors has no Clue abour these all they know is how to make Money off their gullible members

And for dat Judas who only go to churches to find one Rubbish or the other to say, d day God will remember u, nobody would be able to save u. Whether u pay ur tithe in cash or POS wats d difference?
As stingy as d OP is with his money are u better dan those who pay their tithe?

Because GOD never ever asked you to pay TITHES in the First place! Ignorance and Greed is what is at work here m Read the Entire Malachi that your Pastors normally quote and Come back and Tell me GOD asked you to pay TITHES. I said Read the ENTIRE Malachi which is actually the shortest Book in the Bible. I work with Jewish People and Weep for Nigerians. Your Pastors have no CLUE about Jewish Laws/Traditions under which TITHES itself Falls. Can they even Observe, or do they even know a quarter of the many Rituals Levite-Priests Goes through, that they want to Claim (Tithes) What God Specifically Reserved for them?
1. Did your Pastors tell you that God asked the People to Eat their Tithes and Dance in Celebration so he can Bless them?
2. Did your Pastors tell you that God asked for TITHES once a Year?
3.Did your Pastors tell you that at the 7th year GOD asked that Nobody should give TITHES?
4. Did your Pastors tell you that the Levite-Priests Should not receive TITHES every year because some of the years, the people should eat the TITHES themselves?
5. Did your Pastors tell you that God says if where you are bringing your TITHES is too Far from your House, then you should sell the Tithes and go to the Place and when you get, you should buy the TITHES again, Eat it and God will Bless you.

Read your Bible and discover all these and so if GOD said all these, why then should you Listen to your Pastors? Either they know more than GOD or you actually worship them as god period.

the US defense budget it twice all of the world's countries defense.

KNOW YE THOU....


The USA CAN FIGHT AND DEFEAT


1. RUSSIA
2. N. KOREA
3. SYRIA
4. IRAN


all at the same time.

let me tell you guys, the reason the US could not clearly defeat the VIETNAMESE is because we were abiding by the Geneva convention not to harm kids and unarmed people.. so they Vietnamese used kids and women to blow up soldiers and traps were set to kill soldiers who were trying to differentiate civilians from real soldiers. IF, THE US DECIDES TO FIGHT DIRTY AND ABANDON THE GENEVA CONVENTION BULLSHIT (just like we did in Hiroshima and Nagasaki) dropping the H-Bomb, forget, the US is too powerful for just North Korea to toy with.

Thank you. People just post out of raw sentiments and not based on facts or accurate history. I mean the fat kid Kim has been doing this, crying for attention for some time now but nothing will ever come out of this. His own father who was more experienced didn't even attempt this madness. War cost money, how much does the starving Nation have? How would they sustain the War? The United States have Military Base across the world to fight from, what does fat kim have? During Desert Storm The world saw Americas 100million bucks Stealth Bomber for the very first time and some people said they thought it was Alien Craft. That was more than 20yrs ago Today America has more advanced futuristic weapons that the world has not seen. On Discovery Channel we get glimpse of some of these weapons. Yet some are running wild here praising Fat Kim and his childish toys. The United States will wipe NK out of the World's map in less than a Week. Even Putin has said that the United States is the World's only Super power. People should Google that firsr before saying all these

you fuckn bloggers, i never even knew he was gay, most people never even knew he was gay, now you don post am online as gay, before we know now, illiterate lagos agbero go lynch am.
thunder go fire una naija bloggers.
is there any where in the constitution that says gay people cant visit nigeria?>
must you even write 'gay cnn reporter"

Don't worry they can't touch him to save their lives.. The Bloggers are just YUK! Like what has his being gay got to do with his work. The President of Iceland? Is a Lesbian woman with a wife. If she visits Nigeria she will receive full Red Carpet and 21gun Salute so our people just got their priorities wrong! Same people that Rocks and spend their hard end money on Vasace, Jean Paul Gultie, Dolce and Gabana are the same people screaming Gay Upandan showing their homophobic Madness.... Sometimes you just have to pity our people

Benekruku:

Christians have really suffered in the hands of there leaders,

Less than 15% of his member's can afford that school and yet it was built with there tithe and offerings


Like a Bishop I know who boldly boast that he was rich before he started the church so no member can claim ownership to church asset

And another pastor was still saying "Jesus is coming soon" when this one just built his university....

Who is deceiving who

NOPE! Christians have not Suffered as you put it. Rather people that Rejected GOD and starts worshiping men as their gods are getting exactly what they deserved. The Bible was once called "The Forbidden Book" because nobody was allowed to Read it except the Church/Clergy but today the Bible is everywhere and if People refused to read it or allowed one man or woman to read it for them and give them another interpretation, who do you blame? Many people that goes to church are not there for GOD but for their mini god magician that they call Pastors and so whatever he says, they accept and swallow no matter how absurd it is. I hope these businessmen/magicians continues to Rip and Enslave our people until they finally wake up.
