Hello guys, I just arrived USA today and I am having serious malaria.
It showed up suddenly .
Please how do I treat it here. All the pharmacies I visited said they don't sell malaria drugs.
I need your help urgently please.

Buy lemon, buy Lipton tea or any teabag, buy cloves. Make a tea out of it. Drink morning and night.

stancod:
Gud day fellow nairalander. Pls any information on how to be a football coach or referee. I stay in ikorudu Lagos. Thanks all

Did you end up going for this career sir?

TheSourcerer:
i don't see a socialist Nigeria anytime soon though

If you can dream it, then you can reach it

Vado:
Doesn't matter. I'm in my 30s, BP is already high.

It’s the food you’re eating

Great100000:
Another game. Another win. Another clean sheet.

There's nothing troubling this Arsenal defense.

The trick is in the fullbacks. They're fullbacks that can double as CBs so their defensive awareness is really high.

NACE13:
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
This game doesn't sit well with me.
Let me give it few days to sink in first.

The only thing I like about Hellblade is the closeness of camera from behind her and the game looks so damn good too. Other than that, the rest is meh. Especially that I'm not a fan of games with major puzzles.

Mmmadafaka:
i am currently playing assassin creed black flag
cause the remake is coming and i have been siting on the game for a while now

Black Flag is my favourite AC and I completed the story. I'm not really a fan of AC but Black Flag is less assassiny and more adventury.

jrobbins:
The issue is most people have drifted too far away and won't even understand what you wrote here. Kudos for this write up.

I brought up my two sons without introduction to religion but morality and ethics, then introspection and thoughtfulness. You'd be marvelled at how well cultured they are

I'll not even be marvelled because I've never seen a true spiritual person be evil like all these religious men romancing corrupt politicians and engaging in Capitalist ventures that poison our air, bodies and mind.

What you've done for your two sons is so precious, far greater than any money in the bank. They have joined an elite group of strong African kings automatically.

That's great Tiwa but hear me out...

CIRCLE OF DEATH
Religion - Capitalism - Processed Food - Social Media.
If a child is given birth to without knowledge of Jesus/Mohammed, he'll never know them but he'll find spirituality and RELIGION is a knock off of spirituality created to control your thinking. CAPITALISM is man's attempt to control nature out of greed. Processed foods causes cancer, it's literally on the containers of some of them and it's just another bid for man to control nature and economics because nature wants foods to be cheap so it gives it 2-3 week shelf life but PROCESSED FOODS can stay years increasing it's cost. SOCIAL MEDIA controls human thinking, causes anxiety. All four are interconnected.

CIRCLE OF LIFE
Spirituality - Socialism - Natural Food - Social Life
SPIRITUALITY is based on logic and it comes from within. I don't want to kill because I wouldn't like to be killed is logical, that's spirituality. If everybody thinks in that way about killing, it becomes our consciousness and we can tie it to a physical entity and so we create a deity for recognition, it's the idea that's worshipped not the deity. It's logically that everybody should have land because you too wouldn't want anybody to take land from you which is socialism.
SOCIALISM is the opposite of greed/capitalism. Socialism is to share because it is more than enough to go round for everybody. In socialism, everybody would have a land to grow natural food.
NATURAL FOOD is wellness and it fosters social life because you'd probably have to go to the market every week.
SOCIAL LIFE is how genuine thoughts are formed. It's how we can create true role models. It's not pretend.

crazygod:
Writz will come good. Just watch.

I put strong eyes on Wirtz all game. I remember Palace first half, he was the man but the truth is he’ll struggle in games like Bournemouth where it’s kinda open and end to end. I thought he was the type of 10 to be able to be quick or slow it down at wish.

BUT he’ll be very instrumental in breaking down those stubborn Burnley type park the bus teams that we can’t escape when we reign on top. He’ll win us the league if Slot can understand when to use him.

I also want to see what Wirtz could be like playing from the wing with Szobo as 10 instead.

Shouldn’t you be on Reddit or something 😂😂😂😂

It's the so called "woke" men like yourself who'd easily get enticed by children.

This is how Igbo and Yoruba girls dressed in the olden days, yet no man had any issues with it.

All of you including you are not culturally aware 😄😄

Our forefathers used to MARRY and IMPREGNATE young girls like this. What are you going to say now?

helinues:
Bro , you didn't take note of those who grew up with money. Not just that but came from humble background.

Money or fame is not a thing to freak them. The lousy about having money would only make you to be spending unnecessarily

Cc Factcheck0001

Another way to spot poverty is when two middle aged men argue about wealth 😄😄😄

My mistakes led me to become highly philosophical.

When I was a teenager, I was really thin because I always had difficulty sleeping. One day, I discovered alcohol in my mom's bedroom, I took some and slept like a baby and it made me feel good too. My mom allowed me, a teenager, continue drinking this poison.

I became addicted to alcohol. I was a master alcoholic. In my early 20s, I'd drink 4 cans of bullet and still carry on like it was water.

Eventually I fell sick in 2020. So sick I lost 24kg. No doctor could explain what was going on. Wasted all my youth going hospital to hospital. Couldn't hangout with my friends anymore or take a gf. Couldn't maintain a job. My life became stagnant.

Eventually sometime in 2024 while thinking about my situation and reading books, something clicked in my head that led me to finding spirituality. Not religion, spirituality. To connect with nature. To return to a forgotten culture. To do what feels good for me. Agriculture, high oxygen, hobbies, laughter, mud house, natural food, watching the sunset, getting away from capitalism and it's destructive creations/lifestyles.

That's the journey I'm on right now. And I'm so convinced it is the solution to fixing my mistakes and my destiny. But I just can't tap into it. I don't know how to tap into that agriculture part, that culture. I'm still living in my mistakes.


What I learnt so far is:
As a youth don't blame yourself for anything. It was the elders that created this nasty capitalistic society. It is their duty to protect you, to leave for you a better culture than the European virus one. It is this foreign culture that causes marital, financial, addiction crises. If some made it out, became successful, they just got lucky. There's no village person doing anything.

Akalia:
I regret not taking my late dad's educational advise to switch to university education after my OND programme. I insisted on going for my HND because I wanted to graduate fast and then run fast with life. Unfortunately, that wasn't meant to be.

Great career building opportunities as job slots came my way but because I didn't hold a B.sc qualification but HND I lost the slots.

Not having B.sc deprived me the one great opportunity to fulfil my dream of becoming a pilot cos as at then I got an opportunity through my uncle-an aeronautical engineer to join bristow helicopters and be trained to become a rotary wing pilot at their flying school at ibadan, (no expense on me) but I was disqualified as only B.sc graduates were needed and I had HMD qualification.

Thank God today that I am not doing bad for myself, God in his mercy redirected my path career wise and things are always looking up for me.

I'm here feeling emotional on your behalf because I know exactly what you're going through. I hope you keep excelling in whatever field you've found yourself.

oluwaseyi0:
Not enjoying myself and having fun in school

This life no balance. Another person regret is enjoying too much in school that led to something negative. This life is all about balance.

pocohantas:
Teaching.
I was 21, fresh outta university.
On the second day the principal sent me to go buy chilled coke and eggroll. Emphasis on chilled. The next day I didn't show up.
Pay was about 20k.

Rules and regulation was longer than River Niger. On some days they dressed like penguins. Other days, pink, purple shirt...all with black skirt/trouser. I was young, but I knew staying in such job was disastrous.

"Some days they dressed like penguins" 😂😂😂

Me reading this while ironing my penguin teacher clothes for Monday.

Call Of Duty don finally cause Call Off Duty

Love800:
Wow. I appreciate. But remember the same vini won champions league plus winning la liga, but rodri still took the world best!

The thing is, an international(country) fixture will decide who is going to win the award. Both salah and vini should be looking up to perform well in their country football this season!

I don't think international will have any effect this year

Love800:
Can salah still carry this season world best?

Impossible. Maybe Runner up. If and when Madrid carry the UCL, it'll go to Mbappe or Vini.

There's a reason why Messi and Ronaldo used to win these things esp Messi. To be a goal scoring machine is one thing, but to actually know how to play football is another and Ronaldo and Messi were both. Liverpool fan here, but Salah doesn't know how to play football that well. He's not technical, his close control is questionable, not a good dribbler, even the way he holds the ball is bad and it's even gotten worse lately. And I'm not saying this now because of the situation, I've always maintained this.

Liverpool against PSG both legs needed technical dribblers on the flanks and the centre. Salah has reduced in technique so much that I can't remember when last he scored a curler from outside the box.

Skyfornia:
Dey play...Obi has told you guys over and over that he is not desperate. I'm not even sure Obi will contest the 2027 presidential election. Man is busy doing his own quota and contributing his part to the nation. It is not only when you become president that you can impact positively to your nation or society. Obi has done his best and I think he is very happy and enjoying what he is doing. Everything is not about power grabbing.

Confidently thinking and concluding for another man. Instead of you to be strategizing in your own corner.

WriterNig:
She's good at telling Nigerians the "truth", now it's her turn to hear the truth about herself. Two truths can co-exist.

Lesson to all Nigerians. Especially the ones who have nothing else in their skulls other than how to get a US visa.

You criticize the west and boom they tell you its because you were denied a US Visa. Like it's the air they breathe. Not everyone wants to live in the west.

Some of us are doing excellently well for ourselves here and even send money to those abroad. The richest Nigerians live in Nigeria. Only low achieving Nigerians are desperate to leave.

Kissing the asses of Europeans and Americans won't make them see you any less than a monkey in a suit. A well groomed monkey.

You think being born there makes you one of them? Lmaoo jokes on you.

They'll remind you of who you truly are in due time.

As long as you're black, you will NEVER be one of them or part of their history.

Stay back home and fix your country!.

I agree to staying back and fixing the country but get your facts right. The richest Nigerians exploit Nigerians on behalf of Europeans, invest most of their ill gotten wealth in Europe and all their kids have European passports. The richest ones are the biggest ass kissers.

BafanaBafana:
Well, the coup was planned by Igbo politicians and soldiers, carried out by them (even though few mumu soldiers from other tribes were recruited into it thinking it was a revolution), the victims targeted were soldiers and politicians from other tribes. The people who took power after the coup were Igbo.

Even Nzeogwu, one of those who thought it was a revolution mentioned that the coup was tribalistic.

And in their usual fashion, Igbos gloated, celebrated and made fun of northerners after the coup.

Those are the facts. If you like you can give it any name you like.

Don’t you see the same scenario replaying today? Igbo masses celebrating Igbo appointment to office but don’t know the appointment doesn’t give a rats ass about them. Same for other tribes. It’s always been the elites vs masses. It was an elitist war not tribal, always will be.

CHAPTER THREE : THE CIRCLE OF LIFE VS THE CIRCLE OF DEATH (Capitalism)

When I was about 16 years old, I had my first taste of alcohol. My mom worked at a distillery and she'd bring cartons of alcoholic drinks home and me being a curious child, I'd sneak into her bedroom to take a sip and no adult was around to caution me. And eventually, I got addicted to it especially because it helped me sleep better. My addiction for alcohol grew stronger until I fully completed the circle of death and I was met with something that seemed was my end in 2020 during the lockdown. If you look through my profile, you'd see my posts of me asking for help about my symptoms back then. I had sickness that was directly linked to alcohol which I treated but something else came after that nobody could understand. I had shortness of breath, constant migraines, confusion, stomach aches, poor digestion, diarrhea and constipation, extreme sweatiness, a lot of problem with my heart and many more symptoms that I can't remember.
They say everything happens for a reason. Getting addicted to alcohol almost took my life but the ancestors had bigger plans for me and they helped me reconnect with my spirituality. When I couldn't change anything to heal myself and all the doctors couldn't figure out was was wrong with me, I'd even given up on life and I kept asking "why?". "Why was I a young boy of 16 having access to alcohol?" "Why did adults sell alcohol to me without asking what my age was?". My curiosity of what went wrong in society, coupled with some mind opening books I was reading like 'Yurugu' by Marimba Ani, '1984' by George Orwell and also not to forget the weekly Instagram live videos of one of my role models Seun Kuti elevated my consciousness greatly.
I started to critically think about everything; Ideologies, style, culture, mainstream media, emotions. I'd even critically think about the littlest of things like the time to wake up in the morning, the perfect eating position, how to breathe, why you should run, clothing style, origin of language etc. And in the process of critically thinking and observing, I discovered THE CIRCLE OF LIFE.

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE
The circle of life consists of four cores. SPIRITUALITY - DIET - WORK LIFE - SOCIAL LIFE and they form a cycle and they're interconnected. Diet is also found in work life, social life and spirituality, just the way social life is found in spirituality, work life and diet and same for the others. I'll break them singularly to help the reader understand. The lack of completing the circle of life and engaging in the circle of death is why humans are getting diseases like Cancer and Heart Problems and the rest.

CIRCLE OF LIFE CORE 1; SPIRITUALITY vs RELIGION
From chapter one, I'm sure the reader has a brief understanding of what spirituality is and how it differs from religion. Again, spirituality is having faith in your own conscience and logic based on universal facts. Spirituality is being in the now, the reality. Spirituality is the one that leads you to understanding what your work life, social life and diet should be like. Spirituality will tell you what is good for you and what is bad for you. If you do not have spirituality, you're lost. One would fall sick and not use logic to know it is poor diet, one would be hungry and never think to own a farm, one would be depressed and not use logic to understand the need to spend time with friends and family.
Spirituality just like the other cores keeps ones' physical and spiritual in alignment because it'll help you make the right choices in diet, social life and work life but when one engages in the Capitalistic form of Spirituality which is RELIGION which is a part of the CIRCLE OF DEATH, one loses the alignment and then one experiences anxiety accompanied by most likely a disease or a symptom of a disease depending on how deep into the circle of death one is. Religion as a core of the circle of death will teach you to have faith in a God that doesn't give you an exact time when something will happen, that in itself will cause you anxiety because it is against your reality. I mentioned spirituality is about your reality both spiritually and physically but religion is about fighting your spiritual with lies against what your physical is witnessing, that is what the origin of anxiety is. Religion produces deep rooted uncertainties that causes anxiety and it leads you away from all the CIRCLE OF LIFE cores that are pro-life and help to break down the stronghold of Capitalism. Ultimately, religion aims to control your conscience and logic because that's what Capitalism is about, controlling everything.
The most important part of this note is to understand what to do when one realises that they have been engaging in the circle of death, engaging in it's capitalistic core of Religion. When one is having anxiety, the solution is to practice the cores of the circle of life. Spirituality, which is having faith in your logic and conscience, social life, work life and diet. And I'll explain how.

CIRCLE OF LIFE CORE 2; DIET vs PROCESSED FOODS(Capitalistic Diet)
Diet as a core in the circle of life is really simple and I'm certain you already have an idea. Through Spirituality, I was able to understand that our ancestors have shown us what it means to thrive. Spirituality helped me become observant about what is good for me and what is not.
When I mention DIET, I'm talking about natural foods, fruits, meat and plants. I'm talking about eating things the way they're meant to be eaten based on universal natural facts.
A natural fact is that some foods SHOULD NOT be stored or preserved. For example, your meat should always be fresh kill not dead and frozen, when you're not a hyena. Frozen meat based on my spirituality is considered as processed food and it is a core in the circle of death. My Spirituality has helped me to understand that frozen meat helps the capitalist to hoard food inorder to make profit regardless of it's negative effect. According to universal fact, if something is about to go bad, it loses value. Nature has positioned itself in a way that no man will be able to become a millionaire selling food but the capitalist wants control and so he invents frozen meat.
Another processed food circle of death is the packaged foods like noodles, spaghetti etc that have 2+ years shelf life. Hilarious! The capitalist invents his own food in the lab now for control and profit. These are foods that don't need sunlight or water to become.
Another, which has to be the most silly is the capitalism of fruits into Fruit Juice Boxes. Nature premeditated it, ensured no one could become a billionaire from selling fruits and she provided that they'll go bad in a week or two but the capitalist who wants to control and make so much profit created juice boxes so they can last for 2-3 years. What the capitalist will not tell you is that their juice boxes will give you 10% of what a fruit will give you and take 90% of your health. One of the uses of a fruit is to detox yourself of chemicals but those same chemicals are in juice boxes? Hello? It gives 10% and takes 90% just like Capitalism, Imperialism and Colonisation.
Through Spirituality, I was able to use logic and history to make physical conclusions. Meat is never bad for humans but like I stated earlier, meat must be fresh kill and after eating meat, one must be active that day or the next like our forefathers. After or before eating meat, our forefathers were engaged in PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OR WORK LIFE (Another core of CIRCLE OF LIFE). I've mentioned earlier that all the cores are interrelated. WORK LIFE according to my philosophy is farming and a hobby you turned into an occupation/skill. I'll explain further about WORK LIFE in the next core.
Therefore, when you eat fresh meat and your body is in an active state, you assist your stomach digest the meat quicker before it goes bad. One of the root causes of some diseases is slow digestion of meat. Meat is one of the hardest foods to digest yet some eat meat and sit in a chair in front of computers or even lay in bed all week. The only society that can provide you such a detrimental lifestyle is a Capitalistic society.

CIRCLE OF LIFE CORE 3; WORK LIFE VS SLAVERY
The first relationship most Africans had with Capitalism was as commodity, as slaves. Yes, the Europeans that invaded Africa introduced Capitalism to Africa and we, Africans were the commodity they came to buy and sell for profit in Europe. Prior to European invasion in Africa, Africa didn't keep slaves in the same understanding that Europeans have of it. In Africa, you only become a slave to a family if you owe that family, and then you work to repay and then become free. Sometimes, some slaves are serious offenders in the community, so they're assigned to work as slaves for the king. You can't just be walking on the street and then somebody grabs you and enslaves you, this was exactly the way Europeans carried out slavery in Africa. Free and innocent Africans were kidnapped from their homes and markets just to satisfy the demand for slaves by Europeans. It became an industry.
Prior to European invasion, through spirituality, I was able to understand that as an African family that doesn't owe or is an offender, you work only for yourselves on your own land and in your own time. And this 'work' is divided into two. The first work is farm work and the other is hobby/skill work.
All families must own a farmland and poultry. Be it wild farming or the regular farming, all families must engage in farming. It is necessary for families to own a farmland because a man without a farm, a man not producing his own food, is always going to be dependent on other forces for his survival and that's the start of slavery and Capitalism. If anybody can determine what your food costs, that person can make you work extra hours and that's slavery. Work Life/Farming as a core in the circle of life is so important because farming helps to keep the physical body intact. Owning a farm, every morning, you'd always have to do some work in the sun and sweat it out a little, this is how you get the necessary exercise and vitamin D man/woman requires to stay healthy. And because the farm and food is yours, you can quit working when you feel tired, nobody can pull any strings to force you to work more hours, this is how you dismantle the forces of Capitalism. Another added benefit of WORK LIFE/FARMING is that when the farm is very mature, because trees improve oxygen, the area will be well oxygenated. Natural foods and well oxygenated area is the number one cure for many diseases. When you understand the cores of the circle of life you begin to see how they're all interconnected. Through WORK LIFE/FARMING, one is able to acquire DIET, another core. Through farming, you get natural foods, oxygen, natural fresh meat from your poultry and vitamin D from the sun.
The other kind of work under WORK LIFE CORE is hobby/skill work. Even after working on the farming which at most is 5 hours, and one takes a nap, you'll find you still have some more time on your hands. I'm able to understand through spirituality that that time is meant for hobby/skill work. Art, Carpentry, Sewing, Welding, Music, Palm Wine Tapping, Blacksmith, Messengers etc should stem from hobby/skill not as main work. You should do these works at leisure because there's never anything that's so urgent to human survival that you have to do these skills overtime. Although, you'll find that when you do these skills that you enjoy doing, you'll get lost in it and engage in it longer than you should because you're having fun. Some of these hobbies/skills would give you an out of body experience, which is something of a Spirituality connection. This is another interconnection of the cores. Work life - Spirituality. Only socialism can provide such a lifestyle.
When you compare WORK LIFE with Capitalism's slavery, the difference is clear. Previous capitalism slavery keeps one working on another's farm for hours without rest. You even get whipped for resting. And then modern capitalism's slavery keeps one in a cubicle with poorly oxygenated areas for hours without rest, pay deduction for resting. Previous Capitalism slavery provide poor diet to slaves, Modern Capitalism's slavery keeps you away from Diet, the sun, from a very important vitamin for your existence, messing with your diet. You then begin to search for the Sun's vitamin D in processed foods like supplements, interconnecting the cores of circle of death of Slavery - Processed Foods.
For those that are able to turn their skills/hobbies into main work, because they're not producing their own food(farming), they're constrained by whoever is producing food. They can make the skill/hobby worker work even more hours than required just by snapping their fingers and inflating the cost of food. Some skills/hobbies also keep one away from the sun for hours so they end up in the same box as the slaves lacking access to all the benefits of spirituality, diet and work life.
Through spirituality, I am able to understand the origin of dilemmas like depression and anxiety. It is both a physical and spiritual concept. There are foods linked directly to improving mood and there are actions linked to improving mood. Foods like (diet) sunlight and many fruits improve mood and get rid of depression and anxiety. Actions like playing your guitar, dancing, playing football, sewing a nice piece of clothing, making a beautiful furniture, welding something important for the community that requires expertise, these things give you out of body experiences during the making of the art (spirituality) and they improve mood. (Work life) working and seeing yield that is yours gives you joy. And to piece it all together, the last core in the circle of life, Social Life.


CIRCLE OF LIFE CORE 4; SOCIAL LIFE VS SOCIAL MEDIA
Mark Zuckerberg has to be one of the greatest geniuses in the history of mankind but I believe it is the forces of a capitalist society that created him and Capitalism only creates evil.












CIRCLE OF DEATH
They share similar features with circle of life but they give you 10% and take away 90% just like the very nature of capitalism.


RELIGION
The thing to note about the circle of death is that it's cores share very similar features with the circle of life.

"When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse out the corner of my eye, I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone."

Before I begin this discussion, I want people to understand that YOU are the face you've been looking for all your life. You're a very important piece of the organised beautiful chaos of nature. And I'd rather you have faith in yourself, in nature than in anything else. And lastly the Spiritual doesn't control the Physical. They work hand in hand. Physical controls Spiritual, likewise Spiritual controls Physical.

CHAPTER ONE : SPIRITUALITY VS RELIGION/CAPITALISM
SPIRITUALITY
What is Spirituality? Spirituality is having faith in your own logic and conscience based on universal facts. Spirituality comes from within you. I can't open any book to tell you how to find your Spirituality. In fact, you feel it everyday but you're blinded by something else. An example of a universal fact is 'whatever comes up must go down.' Spirituality is understanding this universal fact and applying it physically based on your own logic/conscience.
Another universal fact is 'the only thing that can cause the value of something to increase is the scarcity of it'. When you use logic and apply this economically or in agriculture, you will come to understand that it is because food production is at a low that there is food inflation.
Using logic, your next move would be to want to create your own food; to engage in agriculture.
To engage in agriculture as a young adult, you need your own piece of land. Where else to get a land than in state of origin? On getting there you find that the land in your village is all bought up/ taken by the chief/govt and up for sale to you even though your forefathers come from there. And now you're stuck.
Logic will begin to make you question why your own father's land is taken by others and is being sold to you by the govt. What type of government is that? It is a CAPITALISTIC GOVERNMENT. You see how Spirituality keeps you going deeper into truth? Spirituality is science, it is politics, it is medicine, it is social science, it is agriculture, it is life itself. Spirituality has Physical effects for everybody not just for a group of people but there are recessive ideologies like capitalism that deter you from reaching the full circle of spirituality/life.


CAPITALISM
What is Capitalism? Capitalism is an economic system that gives freedom to take advantage of whatever opportunity regardless of the outcome. Personally, I define Capitalism as a virus that seeks to control everything natural. It is birthed by all the evil abstracts that is seriously frowned upon in the before African societies.
To simplify it, an example of Capitalism is when 5 men are given one piece of land to farm to live a normal, natural life and Man A sees an opportunity to take advantage and then decides to take all the land for himself out of greed with a knife in hand or either by conning others that he has the best use for the land. Man A cannot work all the land but the others need the land so they're forced to work for Man A every day and night just to feed. Man A will then select one(the one probably the least rebellious) out of the men to watch over the 3 others working the farm. That selected man now enjoys certain privileges, he doesn't have to bend over to work hours on the farm. This is Capitalism 101. Capitalism applies selective justice. Only the Elites of Europe, Africa and Asia enjoy the benefits of Capitalism. Whatever development you see in certain parts of Europe and Asia even Africa is a trickle down effect of the most Capitalistic men, i.e the men that can take advantage of situations the most, the men that can create problems where no problems lie the most, the most conniving men, the men that are against nature the most.
The extremity of Capitalism is the extension to take advantage of a whole nation(imperialism) and taking advantage of people for slavery.
Just like the example of the 5 men and the farm, the man selected to oversee the farmers is the modern day middle class. He was given that position based on the trickle down effect of Man A(Capitalist) needing an overseer. The middle class today exists because the Capitalists needs them. The more evil the Capitalist(Man A) can be to acquire other people's land the more overseers(middle class) he will need and the more intensified religion is.


RELIGION
What is Religion? Religion is the capitalistic form of Spirituality and it is the anaesthesia for the evil of Capitalism. Religion has physical effects only for a group of people unlike Spirituality that has physical effects for everybody. I'll explain in Chapter 2.
To understand religion better, let's go back to the example of the 5 men and the farm on Capitalism. Those 3 men toiling the farm day and night will forever agitate Man A when they look at their situation. They'll rebel daily to reclaim their piece of land that is rightly theirs. Man A will see that he will lose his position and he'll introduce religion.
But why religion? The very ethos of Capitalism aligns with some of the things provided in religion and only religion provides it, spirituality doesn't. Some religious theories call to the spirit of Capitalism. They're like twins. The very core of capitalism seeks to control and encourage crime with personal ideologies, Religion seeks to do the same and I'll show you how. The worst part is Religion eventually becomes Culture so even those that do not go to church or mosque practice it unknowingly.

IDEOLOGIES IN CHRISTIANITY
(1) Jesus And The Thief On The Cross.
For a thief to end up on a cross, he's not just an ordinary thief, he must have done the unthinkable. To then decide to forgive that thief, that is literally encouraging more stealing, encouraging crime. Man is governed by consequences. You must apply Spirituality, if the universal fact is that condoning an act makes people do it again, what does your conscience say about thieves? My own conscience tells me there should be consequences not forgiveness. I know the same Bible tells people not to steal but it is not suitable for Capitalism ethos, it ignores it. It is the evil suitable for Capitalism continuity that it'll call unto it. In African traditional Spirituality, there's no such thing as forgiveness for stealing, it is consequences so Capitalism opposes it. It is this religious ideology that has becomes culture that allows you have space to forgive thieving politicians, condone them even as a non religious person, allow them front seat in your church. This is why Man A on the farm will introduce religion because it weakens the farmers resolve for justice but such an ideology of condoning thieves is right up his alley.

(2) Story Of Prodigal Son
A son that goes to lavish his father's wealth recklessly and only returns when he's left with nothing, only to be met with FORGIVENESS. Even worse, he's celebrated more than the other son that managed his father's wealth judiciously. What ever could be the idea here if not to condone reckless spending. As innocent as this story is, it calls out to the ethos of Capitalism. Capitalism loves the premise. This is why Man A, a man who wants do as he likes will introduce religion. We celebrate prodigal sons in Nigeria everyday. It is culture.

(3) He Who Has Not Sinned Let Him Be The First To Cast A Stone.
Me! Right here! I have not sinned. Religion will tell you that you come to this world with sin, it's propaganda. This is only for the purpose of accommodating the real sinners, so that you an innocent man can regurgitate the propaganda unknowingly. This religious ideology has seeped into our culture, the translation for this "he who has not sinned let him be the first to cast a stone" is "If na you sef, wetin you go do?" after taking what doesn't belong to you! "If na me, I'll not take it because it is not mine!
Many more examples but I think you get the picture of how religious ideologies that have become cultural has been the anaesthesia for the evil and continuity of capitalism.

CHAPTER TWO : CULTURE, CAPITALISM AND RELIGION AS ANAESTHESIA
Other than religion providing soft cushion for Capitalists to fall into after committing evil, religion helps to soothe the mind of the victims.
Let's go back to the story of the Farmland with 5 men. I mentioned that 1 out of the 4 slaving farmers will be selected to oversee the activities and enjoy certain privileges. Eventually, when the farmers cannot escape their predicaments, the position of overseeing the farm becomes desirable. When 1 of the farmer is chosen either because he's gone behind their backs to promise the capitalist something or because he's the least rebellious, instead of saying it was organised or sheer luck, it is termed 'grace' or 'favour'. Today some even say 'unmerited favour' when such an upside-down occurrence happens. That's how you know that religion has become culture, even nonbelievers say it.
To ease the mind, again, all the farmers not selected will return to their anaesthesia; religion. "As long as God is on the throne, it'll be my turn."(even though it's only 1 man that becomes the overseer). "There's nothing too big for God to do". These are empty theories that'll never have a physical effect for the victims whereas the capitalist enjoys all the benefits of the theories he wishes to select from religion. "I shall speak a thing with my mouth and I shall move mountains." This is a religious ideology. In physical term, it'll mean Man A can literally say he wants to whatever because he has amassed the wealth and it'll come to pass but the farmers living hand to mouth cannot.

CORE RELATIONSHIP OF CONTRADICTION BETWEEN RELIGION (CHRISTIANITY) AND CAPITALISM
Using the Bible as an example, the same Bible that says "thou shall not steal" "thou shall not lie" it is the same Bible that provides ideologies like 'forgiving a thief on a cross'. It is contradictory. It gives a loophole for whoever is in charge to select the narrative. A preacher can easily say "yes I stole, I sinned, but are you bigger than Jesus that forgave a thief?". This is how you encourage a crimogenic society and introduce selective justice. The same goes for 'he who has not sinned let him be the first to cast a stone'. After stealing and lying, one is allowed to wash away crime by simply generalising that everybody does it too.
The similarities between Christianity and Capitalism is very tangible. Just like Christianity, there are contradictory theories. Capitalism according to Capitalists is an economic system that alleviates poverty for everybody but it doesn't according to world poverty stats that set EXTREME poverty at 9.2% for 2024, that's almost 1 billion in abject poverty. And we haven't even started talking about normal poverty.
Just like Christianity, Capitalism applies selective justice. Only the Elites of Europe, Africa and Asia enjoy the benefits of Capitalism.


In conclusion, Capitalism with the aid of Religion encourages a crimogenic society. Capitalism seeks control of everything for exploitation and wastefulness and it is unnatural and the ethos of Capitalism chooses religion. How can you have men with infinite resources in a world with finite resources? If you've been practising religion and you're not seeing physical manifestations, why do you keep practising it?

What are your thoughts?

In the next chapter, I'll discuss THE CIRCLE OF LIFE. That is - Spirituality - Diet - Social Life - Work Life and how Capitalism has corrupted it to become THE CIRCLE OF DEATH of Religion - Unhealthy Foods - Social Media - Slavery.
