A001: You're quite well read, and your moniker is a fascinating one.
But I don't like many of your takes on religion since your left atheism.
I don't really have takes on religion, A001. I have takes on religious books and how they are understood and create religious people. And you don't really understand my "takes". No one can unless they ask questions, and we know questioning is unnigerian. We Nigerians prefer to make crap up in our heads and believe it.
Imagine an atheist claiming not to believe in the existence of Gods, or a theist who believes Gods exist. The fact they believe is enough to show how ignorant that person is. Why can't they know if Gods exist or not. If I claim to believe a particular woman is my mother, I'm sure you'd wonder if I really know who gave birth to me.
That said, I gave a special place in my heart for a book that states "In the beginning was the Word". Note how it does not claim, "In the beginning was a God". You got to love Jesus just for the fact that he was well read.
Anyway, do question what you call my "takes on religion" please. Nothing delights me more than being challenged to use my brain.
Mace0lane: Thank God it is not Yoruba Western media that is exposing the foolish fraudulent criminal the clown Peter Obi is. Don't you morons campaign n attack other politicians in Nigeria why should the criminal Peter Obi be an exception because he is Igbo. Who doesn't even know Atiku can only work with criminal as VC.
If bubu was in the Pandora Papers everywhere for don scattascatta by now, but our poor president can not put cow in a box. Thank God.
mrvitalis: There is absolutely nothing wrong with what peter obi did ... absolutely nothing wrong with it
There has always been campaign to attack peter obi's image ....they can't find anything on the man
This is worrying. A governor, while in office, sets up secret companies in tax havens and has foreign accounts contrary to Nigeria Laws and you say he has done absolutely nothing wrong!
I think Peter Obi and Tinubu should be your next president. You deserve them! Perhaps R Kelly can be your women's minister or something too.
Tranquill: Wow! They are now attaching Ijaw in their stup.idity against Ikwerre. Tomorrow they will speak for Ogoni or Fulani or even Yoruba against Ikwerre.
This Igbo people na wa o. Each day if you don't open a thread about Ikwerre, it is Ijaw or Yoruba or Fulani or any other tribe.
You have myriads of problems facing you yet you preoccupy yourself talking about others. What does that say about you?
I'll take this as the summary. Please add cow to the things complained about. Some always complain about cow.
I guess you paid her in the same coin she paid you, but if she convinces police you and your friend raped her, your next post will be from a prison cell.
Babaijeshaa: Thank you sir. But this particular girl is 26 and I'm 27 . Is that age too small for marriage? And what are some of the experiences?.
Age is not the same thing as maturity. Go and experience a few more girlfriends before you settle down in marriage. This your current girlfriend is not your wife, and to be honest with you, if you were mature you would not be here asking us if you should marry her!
Amatarasha: please who is " Otem" & " Atum " ? Because I am confused
Perhaps you are now willing to admit you now nothing about buda, for that, Ama, is the first thing anyone who claims to know buda would have sought to go discover. In fact, it's a guage of your intelligence or lack of any.
Do let me know what you find out after you've done your research. The answer to your question is not for the lazy.
I take it they've compiled a list of those of us who are not suffering and wailing. If only they had been responsible like we have been they would not be expecting bubu who called them lazy fuqs to put food in their lazy bellys.
Hopefully this is the wakeup that will make them get off their lazy asses and vote at the next election so we don't have to listen to their wailing for 4 more years.
Unless one is mentally retarded, one does not treat one's kids this way without a good reason.
Nemesis0147: africa!! Please don’t treat your children this way...there are many ways to train a child and not by subjecting him to this kind of life!! I school in Nigeria despite being the the first son and all my sisters schooled abroad....no be say I lacked anything but I was followed up with iron hand. U dare not mess with my dad when he was still around but e no mean say i go dy work for 10k salary!!
A001: Okay. That's what he always does with questions of this sort.
You know over the years, I've asked him tons of questions. So I'm talking from experience.
You'd be surprised to know that Otem and Atum rarely converse despite the sharing of monicker. Like the first god that we take our name from we tend to travel our separate paths.
A001: Why did ask Otem the question when you already know he would refer to the definition of the term in a standard dictionary?
I did not know Otem would "refer to the definition of the term in a standard dictionary", and in fact, Otem has not referred "to the definition of the term in a standard dictionary" yet.
I asked because I value his opinion and wanted to know what it was on the term instead of just ignorantly assuming what it might be. His "standard dictionary" might be very different to my dictionary, and I might learn something new from his "standard dictionary".
GoldenJAT: I believe all parents should as a matter of necessity create an adequate platform for their kids/children to excel. Giving them tools that sets them apart would suffice here! The competition for the scarce of the world is mad, and as such everyone needs a little push here and there. If the resources is available there is no need putting one through any stress whatsoever! Set your children up in such a way that they will achieve more than u ever did. I personally Will feel that my father should set me up,give me little push here and there,if he fails to, I definitely will sulk. But being who I am! I definitely would dust my self up and move on. And lastly! My dad as he is, would definitely not toll this part, and I on my part, I'm not a lazy fellow. That's why I said something about our different backgrounds. People will react differently.
As you said, different backgrounds, and understanding, and approach to life. Mine is, no one owes me anything in life, so I must learn to stand on my own two feet using my own very well developed brain and mind as funded from birth by my father and mother to whom I am forever grateful.
If you can't see giving you an education to graduate level as setting you up, I really can't see the point here. If I invest in you to that level and you are still here feeling entitled to more, I will definitely kick you out of my house so you go learn to fend for yourself and appreciate what I've done for you already instead of wasting any more of my resource on unappreciative you. It would likely make you appreciate yourself more too.
GoldenJAT: That is you! Don't generalize in this case! That you won't and others did, doesn't make them a thief! We are just wired differently. Our backgrounds are different, and that plays a very significant role
Some are indeed wired with a sense of entitlement. They expect their daily bread from the sweat of the brow of others.
Don't forget to tell ben that we convinced you to take the vaccination.
basilico: The whole corona vaccine is driven by profit motives. The CDC has all the data about the reactions of people including deaths but they are hiding it They said the virus can be cleared by the vaccine With Joe Biden looking at 98% vax rate for normalcy to resume. The virus was a godsend to democrats because they were able to push through mass mailin ballots. The vaccine news was announced after the election because Trump would have looked good. Politics, big tech and big pharma money has demonized people and institutions that report on alternative medicines or negative vax efffects. When the WHO formed a team to investigate the origin of COVID-19 , one of the members was Peter Drazak (sp)of Ecohealth Alliance who funded the Wuhan lab virus genetical engineering with grants approved by Dr Faucci and other donors.
GoldenJAT: Not assuming! Just saying! Only God,the said father and son knows what is playing out!
I do agree. We are merely insinuating based on the third hand information we have been given. But the sense of entitlement of the son that we have been presented with is worthy of opinion.
zed7: Why are you arguing with these people? They have a certain mentality, poverty striken mentality. They believe they are entitled to their parents wealth.
For a father to treat a son that way, he probably knows how useless the son is and wants to teach him life lessons. If you give some kids access to money, they'll end up killing themselves.
Nobodyis entitled to anyone's money. A parent owes a child food, education, clothing and accommodation. Everything else is a privilege. Of course, most kids here are still being fed and can't reason past their entitlement mentality. That's the stage they are in now.
I got time, I guess. Besides, I am very aware that more sensible people are reading and are just not contributing. One must educate the fed up kids here or they might convince themselves that their entitlement mentality is justified.
