RedBenson: Op, are you still alive? Abi you get low ba3? Come back come comment abeg. Have you given to the boi?

Lol. Maybe she has and she realized it wasn't that bad and that the boy was human afterall

Wow! So you really opened a thread regarding this issue

nnofaith: @folly
you are just a babalawo.and an intelletual fraud claiming you are embracing african spirituallity to cover up your beliefs. how do you reconcile your beliefs in deities like sango, ogun, obatala etc with atheism. Atheism is lack of belief in gods or deities. what is the diffrence between yoruba creation myth and the jewish one? no diffrence they are both myths. Both myths are full of BS. please tell me that you are not implying that we will only be good atheists when we reject the foreign BS and support your local BS. by the way i am yoruba too.

Another one of Folykaze's critics.
This is my point exactly @ Folykaze

FOLYKAZE: Haha...but you were asking me reason yhwh Im admiring Ifa as atheist. Why?

And im not Ifa follower.....im studying Ifa because it my right. I need to know it not necessarily believing in it.

Why did you say buddhism is religion in your previous post?

I got another topic tomorrow. Lol

Fair enough

I'm not a Buddhist, and I'm not against an atheist supporting it, I just said it was suprising, and you'll agree with me that it is, cos it's rare. The Buddhism issue was raised cos you mentioned Sam Harris as an example of an atheist who supports the philosophy of Buddhism, and my response was that it doesn't make him a Buddhist.

You're studying Ifa cos it's your right, I get and respect that, but we only get few of that. People who study Ifa either as their right or by chioce are RARELY atheists

FOLYKAZE: Remember I told you buddhism is more philosophical than religion.

Bro lets learn from your religion angle.

For the record, I'm an atheist.
You know when you start to learn Buddhism, it's looked as as a religion. I'm open minded, that's what fascinated me about an atheist being an Ifa follower.

macof: buddhist don't care about God or gods. They live for themselves, and strive to acquire one thing : reinvention in opposed to reincarnation in order to escape suffering. They believe the sins of the former life brings suffering to the new life which the reincarnated soul lives. Their rituals are basically, meditating to harnessing ones inner consciousness(wat I like to call Ori) in order to change the course of their lives.

Hope u get what Buddhism is about now

Yeah pretty much.
Learning it from another angle

FOLYKAZE: 'Professional atheism' is a hard core natural sickness.

They hate you when you dont reason like them. Lol

Funny, but it's an avenue for theists to attack. They always find ways

wiegraf: You can have lots of critics and still be justified/right. @folly on the other hand...

I agree. Even atheism have grades & levels so to speak. I was suprised at his kind of atheist too, but I love to learn, what common sense teaches though, not in a gullible way

macof: wat do u know about Buddhism?

Not much. Just that it's a Hindu religion.
You can enlighten me if you know better

wiegraf: Ah, @folly, I see. You're generally foo.lish all the time. This is what @bolaino was talking about?

Seems to me Folykaze got a lot of critics

@ OP, I told you already. You're passing the right info in the wrong way.

People know these things already. They're just gonna make you feel like a villain.

secnelly: It's just the first crash in Nigeria this year and we panic. What of the numerous Road Accidents every day? So, make una chill.
GOD KNOWS THE BEST.

Where dey for see this one?
Plane crash you dey talk say na 1st one of the year. Mtchew!
If to say any of your relative dey there you no go talk this nonsense

FOLYKAZE: buddhism is more philosophical than religion.

You are embarrassing yourself here. Why cant you read some stuff before talking out of ignorance?

Yoruba spirituality is 'naturalistic pantheism'. Go and read about that and it coexistence with atheism. Even Dawkin said pantieism is 'sexed up' atheism. Pls get some books.

Stop fooling around

Lol

Different strokes for different folks
Whatever rocks your boat bro

It's true oh. AKure bound. Landed on a vehicle.

FOLYKAZE: which buddhism is monotheism? Guy go read some books.

Religion has corrupted Ifa. It a philosophy and spirituality. Have you ever seen Eledumare shrine?

Except I'm getting something wrong, Buddhism is a RELIGION.

Ifa on the other hand is Yoruba's ancestral heritage. Your studying it as an atheist is loyalty on your part as a Yoruba, but as you being an atheist, it's like wanting to eat your cake and still having it.

Interesting though

FOLYKAZE: Ifa is a philosophy. There is nothing attached to it.

Buddhist in japan are mostly atheist. Same to those practising Jainism.... Sam Harris is a well renowned atheist who support buddhism. So why wouldn't I investigate and embrace my tribe spirituality and philosophy?

Quit right, I understand that some dogma where brought into it.....also some of it philosophy were corrupted by westerners. They turn everything to demon and monster. We need to get rid of this.....

Yeah I get it. You love its philosophy but technically Buddhism is monotheism. You say Sam Harris is an atheist that supports Buddhism, but he's not a Buddhist right?

Ifa followers treat it as theism.

[quote author=ozo_emeka]Smh. "BAD MOUTHING" ?? Really? You uneducated folks kill with that bull

So the Professors at Harvard that write papers on the state of the Economy are "BAD MOUTHING" the economy?

or are they just stating facts? Your doctor telling you you are ill is BAD MOUTHING you??

No one is saying you must "double hustle" . Your will and drive determine how far you go in life REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE. How are Dangote and Adenuga LIVING in Nigeria and coming in as the RICHEST BLACK MEN IN THE WORLD?[/quote]That's my point.
A typical Nigerian will have to experience being given a banana before accepting that racism is for real in America/Europe.
Your points are valid, but there have been people who survived them, even if not much, but telling people the down sides of USA while you're doing okay there sounds selfish on your part, they'll think you don't want them to experience it.

I said it before, the OP is passing the right message in the wrong way. Badmouth USA all you want, millions are trooping in every year. Everyone wants to live the American dream. I get where the OP is getting at: more like 'you must double-hustle' to survive in the states.

@ alala dakosta, just answer these few questions.

Can an average Nigerian arrive in the USA today and expect to be catered for without doing little or no work?

Can an average Nigerian without an excellent academic qualification get a good job that pays well?

Can an average Nigerian survive bad weathers and or will not be subjected to racist chants?

Are bills not directly proportional to how well you work (or even inversely sef)?

@ Folykaze, you make 'Ifa' sound interesting.
And you're an atheist

[quote author=Dr_Lecter]@Op, Lesson 101 ~ Learn to guard your property properly especially in public places. It is irrational to blame Ones carelessness on others. I'll advice you move on & be more careful next time.
There's no need for any Smear - Campaign.[/quote]No mind am, make she continue dey blame SW for the device wey she no fit see again

@ OP, your device was stolen and instead of admitting your carelessness (which obviously cost you), you jump to accuse not the management but the region. Hmmm, speaks volume. Tell me if there isn't a place where stealing occurs. SMH.

Chai!

Just imagine. A 5-star hotel was launched by Lagos state governor, and instead of celebrations, opinions and discussions on how this affects or improve the region/state/country, what y'all doing is starting your e-tribal war again. Na wah for this 'Na we get, no be you get lagos palaver' oh. Make una kill una selves on top this Lagos issue na, come see who go get am. Mtchew

Nonsense and ingredients

Yield: ^ Why're you getting upset? If it doesn't apply to you, ignore. Otherwise ...erm, never mind. Make I no talk .

So even after all the testimonies/confessions you've read, you're still doubting? Just face the fact, take it or leave it: it happens. No one's saying it's right, just that it's human nature, science approves of it sef.

Afterall there are many things that people do that aren't right; stealing, molestation, kidnapping just to mention a few. The OP should be happy that it was her undies he was sniffing not her private parts (yes it happens)

And the notion that only Nigerian kids do this is just barbaric.

I don't think the OP is trying to discourage people from going to the US, especially if you're going with the plan of staying permanently, and as an average (poor) citizen at that.

@ OP, from your posts so far, I can decipher that

» Average citizens find it hard to survive over there, so how much more immigrants.

» America is not all rosy and sparkling, they put the good places on TV for people to see.

» People go homeless and live in boxes once you can't pay your bills.

» Racism is high, and on the increase at that.



Believe me, we know all this and much more. But at the same time, we're Nigerians and we love adventure and exposure, not forgetting that the average Nigerian is a born hustler. Let an average Nigerian experience all this hardship over there before accepting that it's true, afterall we're used to it. Our version of racism here is ethnicity, and believe me it's as bad, if not worse than the western version. We're a third world country from the poorest continent in the world, so where else do you expect us to copy clothing style and fake accents from? Technology came from there, so believe me it's normal for an average Nigerian.

Note that not all Nigerians do or think like this, but the average Nigerian does.

OP's either a lesbian, religious zealot or just not normal if she's hearing about it for the first time. Shuo! Na today?

Creepy? YES, Normal? YES (subjective though)

It's hormones, & he'll outgrow it. Someone just needs to let the genie out of the bottle

Abeg abeg abeg make mod carry this story go comedy section abeg. Lmao, just too hilarious

There are many reasons why she isn't picking


¤ She may not know your number (does she?)

¤ She didn't wanna come across as proud/arrogant (take the number make I rest abeg)

¤ You have body and/or mouth odour (take number dey go abeg make I breathe)


Whatever the reason is: one thing's certain
SHE'S NOT INTO YOU, move on jare, no be force.
