Thanks for a polite response.. Religion deals with God.. saying not knowing the reasons of God is just childish to me.. Let start from our source first, let look at Natural/Artificial made..This alone is a great convince,talkless of that,life is more spiritual than physical.. spiritual control physical..how do you want to improve your spirit..Is it by all these worldly materials or what?I agree..Let him make any choice,he like oooo..
I concur.
It's wrong to not question your beliefs, religious or non religious.

Thank God for your recovery. Many people die too young to have the opportunity to realise God almighty and godliness in life.

When you have your parents still living with you on earth you always feel free wheeling and behaving as you like until they depart.

But if you can calm down and learn from others and attend social occasions with a view to understand the happening you will have a good insight into life and God works.

Psalm 14 is appropriate for this brother to read solemnly and seek full understanding in a church Bible class
You are right.
My mom's death left a deep vacuum in me. I became depressed.
Na God help me.

I insulted christians, called them thieves in front of my mom.

I left home, age 18, stopped attending church, but I told God, if you truly exist, I want proof. There are many religions, show me the one.


I will lie to mom that I don't miss church any time I go home.

Mama kept praying, took my name to women fellowship, sisters too were praying, brother wrote my name and kept in his Bible.

I was living wild, but there was a void drugs, money or sex couldn't fill until.....
God revealed himself to me.
I'm now a believer.


I was a skeptic like you.

My brother.
I beg u in the name of who you believe.
Even if a lady should eventually accept you the way you are now, she won't respect you. Before you think so, it's not a Nigerian girls thing, it's like that everywhere because as the head of the family, you are expected to provide leadership to the best of your ability while she assist by providing support.
Your children will be ashamed of you. They will have a low opinion of themselves because of a weak father figure (you), they will despise you and rebel against your authority.
Their mum and peers will influence them more than you.
I'm a 42 year old single guy, I'm more ashamed of my present financial level far, far more than of being single at this age.

We need the government to create the conditions for ease of doing business in Nigeria.


I say this because, the governor isn't going to do beyond encourage the lad with some words and financial incentives and if he's lucky, scholarship.


Inventors, scientists and explorers etc we hear of today were bankrolled by private individuals/companies. All the government did was encourage creativity and investment.

He should tactful enough to know when to talk and when to be silent.
When to make an enemy feel he's a friend and when to show your colours.
Britain know that he has been insulting them, yet he flaunts citizenship.
Also,the pictures of people kneeling before him won't help his cause in the West.
Tact isn't cowardice. It's strategy.

Plomo:
Quite a very valid point you have raised. I salute your thirst and hunger for knowledge but regardless, I maintain history should be taught in schools.

You have access to these resources does not mean every other youth has access to same resources.

Besides teaching history will start from the basic classes, the babies. Teaching them names of founding fathers, teaching them exploits of our celebrated ancestors. I recall in primary school, I read a snippet of Queen Amina the conqueror in a collection of stories we used to read in school then. I was curious as to how a woman could have fought wars, my small mind just shrugged it aside. It wasn’t until years later, I randomly stumbled on the full story again and my curious mind was awoken.

Teaching history is also good because there are people who only discover their love for history after years droning away. These people could have gone on to study history in school if they had been exposed to it earlier on.

Finally, there is no ethnic group in Nigeria that is without sin so also no ethnic group that does not have exploits to be celebrated and studied. I am igbo, I know where we don Bleep up but that does not mean I will sit down and celebrate ethnic cleansing.

Please, bad as e bad, let our kids know where they are coming from and the things that shaped their society as a whole.

History must be taught.
You Sabi talk.
Wonderful point.

Perfectbeing:
That story of government scrapping history from secondary schools is stale in this internet age. We are in the age where almost everything can be gotten from the internet. Many of us here knows about WW1 and 2, the history of america and her civil war, the Roman and Greece empire, the Byzantine empire, Napoleon the great. All these weren't taught in our schools yet we know them.. I know a lot of things about Nigeria history and I wasn't taught in secondary school.. I searched the internet, watched YouTube videos.

Nigeria youths should goan read about their history and stop blaming those old men but themselves. The fact you have a useless father is not an excuse to be useless in life.. Read.. Read... Read...

So, how did the DSS come to a church on sunday. That is not their usual spot, not a working day. Someone definitely invited them. They can't just appear from the air. This matter should have been diplomatically handled
It's lack of diplomacy not to inform the church before coming there to stage a protest.
Sowore is trying too hard to be relevant... I used to support him, but not anymore.
He's too manipulative!

Lemme summarize for you.
They said they had no hand in the arrest (But how did the DSS get wind of the situation before arriving to arrest them)
They said the people arrested were using trumpets and the rest to disrupt service and service. (So that's your reason for calling DSS to arrest them abi)

My conclusion: damage control.
Police provide security during services.
Churches of that magnitude has security officers guarding the premises.

Smh.

If not for the number of dolts in Nigeria that were giving this guy morale, wetin for make am get mind to mumu like this?

A NIGERIAN guy in the UK collected the number of a minor and chatted her up. CHAT, he didn’t touch her arms, let alone boobs or sex and dude knew his life was finished the minute the girl’s FATHER (a sane man) involved the police.

But here in Nigeria, an adult was caught on tape molesting a minor and some people say setup. If they set some of you up with the diaper removed from the bum of a 3mths old baby, you fit chook prick. Since no be your mate dey see setup jump am pass.

The fear of having a female child is not that she will turn olosho, it is that there are too many predators in Nigeria and they have normalized their madness.

If them born una well, enter plane with this mentality and go to a developed country, let’s see if you won’t land in jail.
Increase the volume, please.

A minor young enough to be his daughter.
Someone he should be looking out for o.


Instead of speaking out with one voice against evil, people use the opportunity to express their frustration and anger with the opposite gender, forgetting that they have relatives of the very gender they're attacking.

If dem set am up nko. Doesn't he have principles?
