In this life you are either a pessimist or an optimist. The way I see things may not be the way you see things.

As far as I know. I have better chance of attaining my dreams here than anywhere else.

One of the things I have found out about life is the people you hang around with determines how you see life. It determines the opportunities you see.

Sebi one guy opened one thread lamenting how US embassy was denying almost everyone visa. They dont want you to come to there country. So stay in your country and make it better.

There are bad people everywhere. Any change one desires starts from each one of us.
No be the same Nigerians give Nigerians bad names everywhere they reside around the world.

Let me be honest with you even in America it is not easy. I have very close relatives living in US. I know how many of them live. I have childhood friends who carry American passport.

Many people are making legit money in Nigeria!! Yes. Once we see a rich person we call them 419. Drug baron etc. See how Chinese Indians and other foreigners are making it in Nigerian markets while our people are running away to be third class citizens in a foreign land.

You may have your own opinion but for me, I dey here kampe. I dey here to hustle, work hard. Give people employment. To see how many of our people I will better there lives. By God's Grace. Not to run away to another man's land and be a laughing stock.

When you travel around the world and see how the black man is treated, like a trash. You will know it's better to be here and see the way one can help to effect positive changes not running away and becoming slaves or shit.hole the likes of Trump call our people.

man must stay and take our place in this nation.

First of all we generally have a warped idea of "juju". The word juju is even a derogatory word by the French to describe African belief system.So called juju was never about doing evil. Foreign religions had to demonise our traditional belief to get a foothold and eventually dominate.

Secondly most using juju these days are actually Christians/Muslims who approach traditional priests for evil stuff like money ritual.

Thirdly, many modern babalawos have commercialised their skills in response to what people are requesting: money ritual, tying down a friend or family member's progress in life, illness, etc.

When you begin to think in that manner bolded, you will get the whole idea wrong. It is an ancient art that was never meant to be hi-tech or do evil. Science didn't develop from Western paganism or occultism. Occult are still very much active in the West.

We ascribe too much power to traditional arts may because of Nollywood (Susu, K. O Kanayo, and the dude killing his brothers to take their land, etc) which in reality is not that clear-cult.

Traditional worship was developed largely based on nature (rivers, thunder, mountain, moon, stars, rain, sun, whirlwind, seasons) and the philosophy of how they work and how certain chosen people (who in death may also become deities) can communicate with these and other forces beyond our reach, and the role they play in the affairs of mankind, good or bad. furthermore these forces manifest the power of the superior God (Eledumare, Osanobua, Chukwu, etc) as intermediaries.
This is my conclusion based on interacting with people who were around 90 to 105 years old by the end of 1980s. People who lived their entire lives as pagans, while watching how the world changed drastically in religious terms.

Killing people, hindering people's progress or money ritual were never relevant themes in their worship. It was about protecting oneself and family from evil, praying for progress and good health.

On the contrary, there were rules and taboos that were important in inter-personal relationships. People were never to do evil to each other in the community including infidelity, doing evil diabolic stuff against others. In fact certain deities (Alale, Oro, Erimwin-Idu, Erimwin-otor, Orele) are examples) were dedicated to cleansing the land of abominable acts or taboo deliberately or inadvertently broken, yearly or every few years. People maybe required to swear to do no evil or those who did may be required to confess. You may hear of Oro festival in Ikorodu sometimes. There equivalent ones across many parts of Southern Nigeria.

The error we make is to assume it's about a witch in Edo or Ijebu flying to kill one successful son or daughter of theirs in Abuja or Kano.

If we fix our roads, provide an excellent healthcare/emergency care system, a booming economy, higher quality of life, people will live better & longer and village people wont have to take the blame for everything.

As for the man with juju at doorstep, we have no evidence it was meant to kill or impoverish his tenants. It could have been for protection fro bad tenants or to get good tenants and drive bad ones out of his house, at least in his own belief.

Considering how much I have lost to bad tenants (lost rent & legal fees), an older landlord brought up with traditional beliefs could easily have resorted to planting juju in his house to avoid bad tenants.
Interesting perspective.

I used to laugh when nairalanders do their "we are in modern era, these things are of the mind" stuff...

There is evil. it is not hidden. There are diabolical and wicked people.


If you live in peace, find a religious centre and give your God glory. Better still, appreciate your parents. Someone had to do battle for you, so you had time to form philosopher online.

Travel › Re: Which Of These Skills Will Be More In Demand Abroad by Basiljoe:
I'd say go for web development, you should learn: Design, HTML5, CSS3, javascript, mysql and php, which are good skill set for easy survival in any where. Well my opinion might be biased because i'm a web programmer but i think Java is not a good language to learn as a first programming language due to its complexity, start with something a bit more basic like HTML, CSS and JavaScript (Which falls under web dev) then progress to tougher programming languages.

My cousin from my mother's side moved back to Nigeria from the West, since his arrival, he has not been able to find his feet, he came back with several professional certifications and cash to setup a business, everything went down the drain, as I post this article, he is leaving finally back to the West and he has vowed never ever to step his foot in Nigeria, l don't blame him, Nigeria is beyond redemption, those who have ears should hear, if you are not as rich as Dangote, Otedola and all the useless criminal politicians that have stolen generational wealth in Nigeria, don't dream of coming back to this dead country called Nigeria, , those who want to be patriotic can continue but for me, Nigeria is a useless shithole jungle fit only for pigs to live, nonsense grin

Can't find much details about this modem online, theoretically it shouldn't support Ntel 4G as it doesn't have support band3/8 which ntel is on, but i'd say you give it a try first.
