Vice President isonu.

Selectively picking stats as usual to paint a false picture and please this failure of a government.

India also has a mammoth GDP (almost equal with that of Japan and Germany) but that's just because it's a highly populated country. We all agree that the quality of life in India is nowhere near that of the Japan or Germany.

Ekiti has a GDP of $2.8 billion and a population of about 2 million people. That's a GDP per capita of $1,000.

Seychelles has a GDP of $1.1 billion but a population of over 100,000. That's a GDP per capita of $11,000.

Clearly, the seycheless economy is almost 11x more efficient than Ekiti State. Ekiti state has no viable means of generating income, except for its schools. EKSU students pay as high as 100k for acceptance fee in the state university.

Seychelles is a tourist and agro-based economy, it is one of the most (if not the most) attractive places to visit and live in Africa. Nothing of that sort can be said for Ekiti. No production. Just spending and vibes.

A more effective measure of any economy is GDP per capita (per person). But as usual these dark souls cherry pick stats to paint a false image. I spit on this government based purely on lies.

Ekiti is one of the most fruitless states in the federation. There's no single manufacturing industry in the state. It's a state that thrives on consumerism despite it's intellectual potential.

All that have governed Ekiti are failures in my book.

Never mind we are the most stupid creatures on this planet

I completely agree with this. At least something true finally came out of you.

Hey guys is there an demo trading contest going on atm?

thesicilian:
I know that's what you did, "a quick Google Search" in order to sound smart. But if can't even understand a simple statement, how then are you going to understand the more complex things of life like science and metaphysics?
I give up. Out of respect for my time. You win.

Yes unlike you, I am humble enough to search for knowledge than base my reasoning of how the universe works on a book written by drunk farmers in the dark ages. Run along.

The job story is a classic example of the sadistic and psychopathic nature of many Christians, and most importantly their god.

"Well job suffered greatly but he got his possessions back in many fold."

Does that justify god putting one of his most faithful servants through such a notoriously bad situation because of a bet...with...wait for it...satan?


How do you explain the death of his sons and daughters who knew nothing about the bet or whatever it is their father was doing and died innocently for nothing. What did they get back in return? Yeah... nothing but death right?

What moral lesson is there to be learnt from God persecuting an upright man?

It only demonstrates the twisted morality and the lack of thinking of many people who believe the Bible is gods word.

thesicilian:
"You say you haven't seen heaven and hell, therefore you don't believe it exists.

But at the same time you claim to believe in dark matter, which you also haven't seen.

How do you reconcile these two?"

That is the logic behind that simple statement, Have you seen dark matter?

It is surprising that some things have to be made so ridiculously simple before some of you can see it.

Congratulations, you just demonstrated that you have zero idea about how science works.

I'll dumb it down for you, in science, we don't have to " see" anything before we know it's there. There are ways of testing things to see if they're there without actually physically seeing them.

A quick Google search would have cured your ignorance on this issue but I'm not surprised to see someone who believes the goat herders guide to the universe came from a god.

So I helped you with some links for your reading:

https://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2006/aug/HQ_06297_CHANDRA_Dark_Matter.html

https://scienceaid.net/Evidence_for_Dark_Matter

https://www.mvorganizing.org/what-is-the-evidence-of-dark-matter/

Hopefully, you are honest enough to consider the evidence that exists for dark matter. Even if we cannot "see it."

Now is there anything remotely presentable as evidence for your heaven and hell as presented in your buybull?

Of course, not. Heaven and hell only exists because a book written by cattle rearers says they do.

You have only resorted to the "god of the gaps" apologetics fallacy here. Where something we don't completely understand yet is used as a evidence of your god. "We don't know therefore god."

A few years ago, it was "you don't know where thunder came from, therefore god exists."

Farther back, it was "You can't explain rain, therefore god exists."

Since science has figured that out, it's now "You can't see dark matter, so heaven and hell exists."

Lmaooo try harder.

Prayer is an act of unbelief not belief. Prayer is you telling your god he has things mixed up and only you can tell him how to fix it. It's an insult on your gods intelligence.

thesicilian:
Have you seen dark matter?

"You haven't seen dark matter."

'Therefore heaven and hell exists."

See logic

LordReed:
Why?

Religions do not share the same concepts. Now, generally you can say that religion contains the same things. But taking a closer view religions approach these things in very very different manners.

truthCoder:
All religions funnily share the same concepts.

All religions have the following concepts in common:


*A belief in the supernatural and the spiritual world.

True, but what the Muslim would term the spiritual world is completely different from the Christian spiritual world. You will never experience a trinity in the Islam spirit world, for example. As well as some of the spirtual concepts in Islam would be joked about in Christianity. You will find more differences as you begin to consider the spiritual words of many other religions.

truthCoder:
*A belief in the existence of a soul.

I might agree with this.

truthCoder:
*A collection of sacred writings or scriptures. .

Again true generally speaking, but the claims of the scriptures and the way the stories of the so-called sacred writings are written are very different in many different religions. Islam claims the Bible couldn't have been from Allah (a.k.a not sacred) and Christians claim likewise that the Quran could not have come from Yahweh.

Each religion believes its own book is the correct book and all the rest are made up. They may all have books, but that's not the point. The claims of the book are not the same in all religions. They contradict one another, therefore they literally cannot be the same.

truthCoder:
*Organized Institutions with designated leaders. .

Some less popular religions do not have an organised structure like spirituality, which is a word for many different personalised religions. Even some popular religions do not have a centralised authority, such as Hinduism and Buddhism.

truthCoder:
*Strong sense of community based on rituals and festivals. .

Most religions do encourage social festivals and rituals I would agree.

truthCoder:
*A requirement to pray to a deity..

Prayer is a common feature in most of the religions that I know of. But some religions do not make an obligation of it. Some religions do not even have a deity, such as Buddhism. So who can they be said to be praying to?

truthCoder:
*Rewards and Punishments.

I would agree with this.

truthCoder:
In summary, at religions are the same at the core. The implementation, culture and deployment is what makes them different.

Sharing some similar properties does not mean they are the same. Humans share all bodily features with dogs. But that is not to say humans and dogs are the same.
L
Now, broadly speaking you could say we are both mammals, but on closer scrutiny humans and dogs are obviously different. All religions share some features, however, are not the same, because they claim different things and their values differ greatly.

This is the reason why all religions cannot all be true. But they can all be false.

truthCoder:
All religions funnily share the same concepts.

It is extremely ironical that we have 4,300 religions in the world and a majority of them share the same concepts and principles.

All religions have the following concepts in common:
*A belief in the supernatural and the spiritual world.
*A belief in the existence of a soul.
*A collection of sacred writings or scriptures.
*Organized Institutions with designated leaders.
*Strong sense of community based on rituals and festivals.
*A requirement to pray to a deity.
*Rewards and Punishments

In summary, at religions are the same at the core. The implementation, culture and deployment is what makes them different.

I disagree completely with this.

No flaws But how Dem take put paper inside egg for the doctor??

Meanwhile the guy left his daughter (who was the reason he wanted to play in the first place) to go back to a game which he likely won't get out of.

No flaws indeed

sigiyaya112:
At the mention of God the brain of black men shut down!!

Ken Ham and Craig will disagree with you!

Even white men's brains shut down at the mention of yahweh and allah

I have some respect for your music but this is a very stupid thing to say.

No amount of songs directed at an imaginary man behind the sky can cause economic prosperity and infrastructural development.

It's a shame that I have to explain this to adults in 2021.


How do you even justify serving a god that waits for people to sing its praises before stopping hundreds of innocent souls from getting kidnapped and dying from insecurity and hunger.

At worst, your god is a low self esteem egoistic monster that luckily doesn't exist.

At bestt, you're only promoting your business. More "people singing to turn Nigeria around" only means you get more shows and more $$.

I have never seen an atheist been possessed by a demon.

I have never seen a Christian get delivered of a Muslim jin.

Or a Muslim requiring deliverance from the Christian demons.

So far, it's Christians in church who 'fall under anointing,' and get demons cast out of them.

Muslims are the ones who rebuke jinns.

It seems like you only get the bad spirits of your own religion. So yeah, born again Christians are the ones who become demon possessed.


Of course, it's all bullshit. OP why do you subscribe to these nonsensical beliefs?

I thank god for the prosperity of the gospel. Churches keep springing up on every nook and cranny of the South.

In the North, Mosques are springing up and Islam continues to spread. allah is to be praised.

The gates of hell are not prevailing even though hundreds are getting killed daily, millions more go to bed hungry than ever, the future looks bleak.

But sure, let's cherrypick the good things and thank god/allah or whatever for the good stuff. Like being alive.

You mean thanking god for all the good stuff and blaming the bad stuff on devil and man...

I agree with most of his points.

However, since were all spitting, you are also a failure if you accept the religion that endorses and was used to justify the slavery and untellable suffering of your ancestors.

Because I bet 50% of Christians don't even know what you're talking about.

Most people are religious solely because of indoctrination and "group think."

Combine that with an ideology that frowns on questioning and making some research and all you have are people who have been told something is tru since they were born and they rarely don't even check if its true or verifying the authenticity until they die.


I mean, isn't it funny that most Christians don't even read their own Bible or know sh*t about their own religion?

It is always endtime for you guys. Smh

So far, everything that happens today (natural disasters and even climate change) have all happened before. It's like a sort of cycle that is only being sped up because of unprecedented and uncontrolled man's activites and of course the ease of the spread of information.

50 years ago, it would be almost impossible for a Nigerian to hear of a flooding that happened in Germany in few days, weeks or months.

But with the Internet, it's only a matter of hours. This rapid spread of information is why it looks like more disasters are happening. When it can be said that they are not.

Stop spreading FUD Christians. We know your religion thrives on fear. But some of us see through it.

The Spiderman comics also features New York and London. That does not make Spiderman a real figure.

The Harry Potter book as well contains some real life locations but we all agree it is fiction.


Your book may contain actual locations and objects, but that does not necessarily mean the stories and claims about the locations and objects are true.


The Bible is a book that has been edited, translated, re-edited and re-translated so many f*ckin times. Many of the biblical books were written decades after the events they talk about happened. Some books centuries after. As the evidence shows, no single eyewitness wrote the bible. It is a book filled with myths, contradictions and other sorts of superstitious nonsense. Discovering some mountain out of the blue changes nothing.

Hahahahahahahaha. Relatively young population

Africa has the largest proportion of youth population. Most African countries have the lowest median ages in the world . But I wouldn't expect a bible bashing, science denying Christian to know this though.

jesusjnr2020:
God is not limited to the limitations of science!

Even your buybull disagrees with you.

And the Lord came upon Mary. .

BassReeves:
1. Do you suspend sleeping at night until sufficient evidence is presented and guaranteeing that you will wake up the following morning?
2. Do you suspend getting out your bed, to go to work, until until sufficient evidence is presented and guaranteeing that every single thing you'll be doing will go well and have good success?

I'm not sure your analogy makes sense at all. I am not even sure you understand the meaning of evidence or activities where evidence would hold more weight than other activities.

Sleeping is a compulsive activity by nature. And so is going to work. If anything, sleeping actually increases my chance of waking up the next day, as sleeping is essential for good health and a lack of sleep can cause death.

And while going to work doesn't guarantee success it greatly increases the chances of being successful. I literally earn money from working which means I can survive.


Why would you compare these basic human needs to a belief in God? Religion is and always implicated in nearly every war that has been fought in history. Believing in god has often led to quite disastrous consequences for many people. Islam reduces women to property, Christianity requires people to take up modest rules that deprives its adherents of many pleasures of life. Many pastors have died as a result of fasting. Many other evangelists in norther Nigeria met early death because they fulfilled the biblical instruction to spread the gospel everywhere.


Why would you equate the evidence required to "believe" in sleeping and working to earn daily bread with a god belief that has the potential to cause quite unreversible changes and grave consequences in the minds and lives of those that believe them?


You need to sit and think long and hard and think about why you brought up such a silly analogy to serve as an excuse for believing in a really important thing without any evidence at all.

Olayoo:
Because there is no evidence that conform to your limited senses doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

True. But wouldn't the sensible thing to do, be to suspend belief until sufficient evidence is presented?

AloneTK:
Is it auto or manual transmission?
Just wondering how you managed to change to neutral without stepping on the brake pedal, except it's manual.

Anyways... Thank God for life!

You don't need brakes to shift gears in an automatic corolla when the car is moving.
