The northerners are the one's enjoying the light.

Ibafo in Ogun State and Igando in Lagos State don move north? Or na only Northerners de get light in those areas!

I Smhb&a at you!

Gandollar:
The black is trouble with this your mentality. There's no hope for the black man if people like you are the ones in charge. Tufiakwa!

I am absolutely certain we'd be much better off with Athiefu in charge!

HellVictorinho:
Fear might make the dissapearance of religion impossible and care-less-ness might keep certain misdemeanors alive.

Impossible! We are working way to hard, night and day and refuse to fail, I assure you. And whether people like it or not, we will educate their stupid fear out of them even if it just means replacing their fearful religion of things unseen with the religion of science of the seen and tested and confirmed.

The darkness of ignorance will always hides when the light of knowledge shines on it!

frosbel2:
It does not embrace harmful elements of foreign cultures that are dangerous to its continued existence and progression.

Unfortunately, cultures hardly know if something is specifically dangerous to its continued existence and progression. China economically stagnated in the 16th century because it refused to allow any influences from outside to enter, yet, by the 18th century the likes of Adam Smith were claiming China to be one of the richest nations, that is, one of the most fertile, best cultivated, most industrious, most prosperous and most urbanized countries in the world. Only for it to decline again up till Mao's time, with a brief resurgence in the 1930s post Mao era, and its current one when it finally opened up in 1978!

It is not so much culture per se, that is our problem in Africa, or parts of it at least. We are stuck in neo-Aristotelian which Europe was peddling when they encountered us and unlike Europe, have not moved forward into the scientific era that the Reformation brought about. But we are working on it.

Going backwards is not the solution, going forward is, as history shows.

frosbel2:
Good, we can meet at this middle point, which is that Africa does indeed have a problem and is backward compared to the rest of the world and the question is why ?

In the west , religion has been declining but is now declining at an even accelerated pace. It was only when Europe let go of religious myth and superstition that science was able to make mighty inroads over just a few 100 years , in comparison to the millennia prior. Similarly it is only when Africa begins to utilise their natural resource ( brain No 1 ) without falling back on primitive ideas that it can begin to formulate an African brand of civilisation that measures up with the rest of the world.

So instead of screaming fire fire in church round the clock and attributing all maladies to the devil , it is about time we stood up as a people and do something about our plight and get rid of all this religious nonsense that is holding us back.

At least a flash of sense. Europe that brought us Christianity, has continued to evolve. Christianity was not its culture either at some point, as they too worshipped the likes of our gods of wind, thunder, iron, etc. They evolved past that and into Christianity because Yahweh proved superior to the likes of Zeus et al, and are evolving out of Christianity into the next era, while your op was that we go backwards into some glorious mythical past that hardly existed!

"Fire fire in church", and mosques, too will die, or do you not hear we atheists slaughtering Yahweh left right and center and all over the place? Give us time, please, instead of trying to replace it with Sango, Oya and Ogun that only allowed us to be taken away as slaves!

frosbel2:
You can say the same thing about Nigeria; Nigeria did not exist in antiquity but existed as independent collection of distinct civilisations that had existed for thousands of years. Saudi Arabia and many countries in the middle east retain and maintain the relics and artefacts of their past ,including when they practised paganism. These are there for the records, for reference to their historical achievements and for relevance in a modern world.

I repeat, China is not a capitalist country, it practices a social market economic model

You are the one that needs to read Wikipedia - lol

A social market economic model that differs immensely from the feudalistic model it practised in antiquity, no doubt, built on communism which predates it!

No one is suggesting anyone abandon its historical culture and artifacts or history! If you don't after all know where you are coming from, you can't be going anywhere. But to claim the likes of China or anywhere, for that matter, still practices it's ancient culture, is a gross misunderstanding of how cultures imbibe new ideas from foreign cultures and evolve!

kiddoiLL:
Leave this one mumu who thinks she's as smart as she types to keep deceiving her self.... they did this, they did that, they brought this, they brought that. religion this, religion that... As if they're to be held responsible for where we are now

Unfortunately, one cannot leave them as their sort will just increase in number.

When responding to their sort, just remember that other people are reading and learning too, and that you are building a people of power even if the person you respond to refuses to be part of it.

frosbel2:
China has adopted a partly capitalist and partly communist economic model, it is not entirely capitalist However they still maintain their HISTORY, religious symbols, language and culture. China is strongly cultural and fiercely protects its ancient heritage from decimation unlike Africans who have most of their history and culture.

Thailand also continues to maintain its cultural heritage while advancing as a society in terms of economic growth and infrastructure.

Let us also not forget Saudi Arabia and Qatar who maintain their OWN religion and culture but have a more advanced economic system and better infrastructure.

China was heathen, pagan worshippers just like we Africans used to be. Over time they adopted Buddhism via Japan and India, where it began! Mao eventually imposed European communism on them, and now they are adopting capitalism!

Thailand today is heavily influenced by Buddhism! It did not originate there so is foreign to them! They too were pagans before it's arrival.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar did not even exist in antiquity, having been formed in the 1930s from Arabia that was uniformed by Muhammed in the 8th century, when he imposed Islam, which he borrowed, on them!

Please make sure you at least read wiki if not a proper history book before you respond any further The nations you've mentioned were all undeveloped until they adopted superior foreign ideas!

frosbel2:
Egypt ruled the THEN world. What are you talking about ?

What was "the then world"? Did Egypt rule China? Did Egypt rule India? Did Egypt rule Europe? Or are you claiming those thriving places which Egypt traded with even, were not part of your "then world"?

OpenYourEyes1:
Empires appear to rise and fall. Africa and Middle East once ruled the world.

No they didn't! Egypt was the most prosperous nation in antiquity in Africa and it never ruled the world. And the middle east never either, though it did at a time extend as far as North Africa and Europe with Islam.

Where the heck do you guys get your information from, I wonder!?

kiddoiLL:
Let's be factual here, you make your points but still you drive away from them when you start to make sense... Like you said, why's the African man so backward compared to the rest of the world.. like I told you before, each one adhere to it's culture and accept Evolving but who's stopping the black man from growing like others do?? These people you claim brought religions, are they the ones stopping the African man?? Don't they practice the religions you keep blabbling about and yet they put their time, and work into being better? and yes religionists so much misleads the average African, but are you responsible for the dimwits who chose to be swayed away?? In the end every responsibility falls on ourselves, religion or not

In fact, it is this ignorant blaming of everyone else except ourselves that holds us back in Africa. If we took responsibility for our development we'd have certainly progressed much further!

frosbel2:
Thailand, India , China etc - 1 million times more advanced than Africa and yet they adhere to their culture, language and tradition.

Buddhism was foreign to all those countries, to start with! China, even adopted foreign communism, and is now adopting American style capitalism. And India adopted immensely from Britain, its coloniser! The only thing they have not completely abandoned is their language, though all of them have adopted European modes of writing to some extent or the other.

No nation prospers if it continues in its own ways and refuses to adopt better ways of doing things. Beside this glorious past you speak of Africa having is a myth! If it ever existed, you see it in our writings of the time and our ancient buildings too, both of which hardly exist!

See crowd o, chai! We must go an increase our Sai Bubu in Kano o, my people! Atiku must not succeed anywhere!

lwise:
The crowd is a normal thing.Once you are able to give people 3k and polo,they will follow you to your campaign venue.There is so much hunger in the land.

Na so Imo people cheap? Abeg stop with the lying. You have no evidence those there were paid a kobo!

frosbel2:
There are many countries that are very advanced by western standards but they still maintain their religion, culture and language.

Name one, please!

Op, should you not be saving that 10k a month to educate your own children or start a business or for the day when it rains, instead of thinking you are buying your way into heaven?

Grow a spine and dump that leech of a pastor off your back please, I beg you, and agree with your wife whom I suppose your God put you together with in a relationship no one else should come between, to put that money aside every month!

The pastor and your brother did not get you this job, despite their so called vision. If you had not utilised your very own supposedly God given abilities you wouldn't be earning what you do! But if you don't think so, please send me 10k a month too, and I'll just say it comes from my moremoneythansense fool of a benefactor!

OpenYourEyes1:
If you atheist are honest about restoring black pride and culture start with language. Ban English language and encourage people to write and speak their own native languages.

You forgot to tell them to communicate with drums while they are at it since the Internet is a creation of those "European Man" and "foreigners".

P.s. Atheism is not about going back to some past state! We would be atheistic against the gods of his forebears too!

I post this so you are aware that I am doing homework.

Bloom’s Taxonomy

vaxx:
i will answer from the viewpoint of psychology, in particular, educational psychology.

In the West, psychology scholars define cultures as how it reflect and shape the pschologucal process of their members . The reflective process are made with western style of critical thinking models such as Bloom’s Taxonomy which if taking seriously will awaken the yet to liberate mind.

So, would I be correct to say western education made you aware of the psychological influences of culture, which you observed through the "western style of critical thinking models" which is reflective and thereby liberates the mind?

Gandollar:
I knew the OP to be a foolish fellow, I just didn't know his foolishness was so gigantic.

Bubu! Bubu! Bubu! Bubu!

Upsidedown9ja:
You are not only confused, your are a comfortable fool

How dare you insult me? A sai bubu comfortable fool, sir please, if you don't mind!

Edit: This thread was formally called:

Last Push For APC Win!

We all know that Athiefu will be Obliterated come the election in February 2019, but may I call on all Buhari people to not rest on our laurels and remember, winning is not enough for us. We must completely Obliterate that Athiefu so he never ever attempts to campaign for president of Nigeria again.

Remember, we know what we fight for! PDP the party of thieves must fail woefully now that that Saraki guy and his cohorts has stopped polluting APC and returned to his gang of thieves!

Sai my bubu from Daura in 2019!

All BMCs and whatever other insults those PDP brainfools call us, please take note! This is a battle to save our own dear father and mother land from looters, and our people from being sold off into perpetual slavery!


Has anyone seen butterflyleo anywhere by any chance?

beegodson:
11 REASONS WHY ATIKU WILL LOSE IN 2019

The highest ranking SW person in the Atiku campaign is Fayose, that’s how seriously Atiku rates Yoruba people.

This one at least can be verified. Come on beegodson, please do not lie! There is absolutely no way Atiku could be this stupid!

Or can he? Seriously, can he?

vaxx:
I begin to appreciate my culture as a result of western education.

How did western education help you begin to appreciate your culture?

1Sharon:
You are female?

I am buda.

bloodofthelamb:
budaatum, I get what you are driving at. If mankind were to return to his original state in the beginning there will be no need of many things today. Eg, there will be no need of doctor because no one will be sick to require one.

Man was not created to be sick and die. What we have today is not God's original intent.

Hmm. You remind me of the song "If I Could Turn Back Time" by Cher. Unfortunately, we can't turn back time. Though, it is a myth I am afraid to say that there was some glorious past to turn back to. We after all are not going back to the Garden of Eden if at all or any time soon. Yet, there is hope.

There is a need for doctors, blood, and there always will be since the sick will always be amongst us. But England, for instance, does not have enough doctors so they come over to Nigeria and the rest of the world that dreams of returning to a time when people supposedly would not be sick, to take our doctors to their own land to work in their hospitals and heal their own people while ours die. Four of the doctors who healed me were Nigerian with more than 70% being foreigners, 40% of the nurses African and about 75% were support staff cleaning bums and wiping sick. Who is the smarter one here, blood, Nigeria that dreams of going back in time, or England who are striving forward using all the resources they can get their hands on to build paradise in their own isle?

William Blake in 1808 wrote a poem which has been adapted into a popular English hymn. It's like the English anthem, and I'll post it at the end. The English know that in the past, the mills were more or less satanic, where young and old were worked to the bones and died young or were sold into slavery. Life, on the whole was hobbesian - nasty, brutish and short. So England does not intend to turn back the clock to that miserable period. What England has decided to do is "not to cease from the Mental Fight, Nor shall their Sword sleep in their hand: Till they have built Jerusalem, In Englands green & pleasant Land". And all its policies are geared towards achieving this one goal. I can assure you that England today is not paradise, but compared to Nigeria, it is closer to heaven, while Nigeria is nearer hell!

Whatever God's original intent may have been, and whether it was blissful or bleak in the past, we are where we are now with. This is the land that we are given with every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They are ours for food, as are all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it is given to us as green plant for food. It is therefore up to us to "Be fruitful and increase in number, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Because whether we admit it or not, it is very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day, and God rests.

It is up to us now for after all, God did say, "By the sweat of your brow (the science, so to speak), will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made". And I don't think there's been a memo advising that that curse has been lifted or would be lifted anytime soon.

I am suggesting that we Nigerians must grab our Bow of burning gold; and our Arrows of desire: and our Spear and Chariot of fire, and "Put on the full armor of God, so that we can take our stand against the devil’s schemes". But for that, we need to understand what truly, God is, (and perhaps, what is satan too!)

Thanks for your time with all this, blood. I know how difficult it must be to even listen to me considering.

"And did those feet in ancient time",
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.
