Then share your. Stop acting like a as...hole

The irony. Unlike you, I shared my points about YouTube without insulting anyone.

lordess:
Boss, calling the post of someone "Trash" isn't good na.

At least consider the time and effort put in to get that write up there.

Try to be conservative a little. Thanks

It is trash. This guide provided nothing new compared to guides that one can easily Google within a minute.

I could copy and paste better guides.

Trash.

YouTube vlogging is far more complex than this.

It is not easy to get the number of views or watching hours to get your videos monetized.

Nigeria is a very funny market. People watch very specific things here in Nigeria. Mostly celebs, religion and music. The major thing Nigerians watch on YouTube is Nigerian films.

In the USA, UK and many other western countries, there are niche markets for vlogging. But in Nigeria, there isn't.


In 4 paragraphs, I have put important facts that this basic guide will not tell you about youtube

Kingebukasblog the number one artful Dodger.

The guy will post nonsense and then dodge when he is called out for the rubbish he posted.

Trying to resurrect dead threads are you?
From what I've read through of previous posts is that no one is denying that slave trade did have a hand in the spread of Islam in sub saharan African and what is now known as Nigeria, but the opponents are claiming that Islam only spread through slave trade exclusively or by Arabian military actions which is untrue and a very one dimensional view as to conform with their antagonistic impression of Islam.
Islam came to the Hausa lands through material and probably slave trade initially and the later jihad of Usman Dan Fodio and creation of the Sokoto caliphate which arguably caused the conversation of other groups or tribes to Islam either out of free will, social pressure, for social benefits, fear of prosecution, probable threat of death e.t.c.
Both Islam and Christianity have questionable history as to how they spread into the African continent. So let's curb our confirmation bias and we can't accurately confirm some of this stuff or change sh!t that happened hundreds of years ago.

We are saying the same thing.

It is your muslim brethren that are denying the slave trade.

If you remove your bias against me, you would see that we are on the same page. Educate your Muslim brethren.

so much headache for what does not exist?
the evidence for God's existence is hitting you hard so that every day you try to dismiss it all to no avail.

God is alive and Jesus is saviour

I am just explaining why I cant believe in your God. No headache.

You are free to challenge any of my arguments if you have the guts.

Brownhypo:
Be careful of what you say dear. That you've not seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You think the world just came out from no where ? No, there is an origin, and the origin is the Almighty God.

How do you know that God is the origin

IAmSabrina:
Of what use is "God" though?

If a belief system doesn't help you understand electricity, gravity, weather, our solar system, medical aid, etc, then it can screw off.

"If God creates an immovable object, is he still omnipotent when he can't move it?" If stupid questions like this crap exist, then it can screw off.

If our civilization's advancements in technology and culture do not require god and/or religion, then it can screw off. (yes, many religious people have contributed to science, but was it their religion or their scientific method that made the contribution?)

If people are left with arguments that validate religion through its "therapeutic aspects" while disregarding the abuse, depression, oppression, antiquated and inefficient practices that are easily observable throughout history... Then. It. Can. Screw. The. Fùck. Off.

Calm down. I feel your stance.

I hope them religious people learn that their God is nothing but fairytales to non believers.

The Christians, the muslims and Jews always tell me that there is one God and that he is powerful. In fact, he is omnipotent and can do anything. He cares for us human beings and all we need to do is follow his commandments. This God also created our universe. He is perfect, he is the almighty creator.

However, I just cannot believe in this God. This God sounds like a fairytale super-alien.

How can a God be so powerful and yet so invisible? How is it that there is no physical or scientific evidence that can prove this God's existence? We cannot hear him but he supposedly answers prayers. We cannot see him but he heals the sick and cares for us. The only other invisible smooth operator is Santa claus. That fat bastard that delivers presents to children all over the world. Yet, we all accept that Santa is a fairy tale.

How can a God be omnipotent? Omnipotence is a ridiculous concept. An absurdity in principle. Being omnipotent means being all powerful without limits. Let's look at how ridiculous the concept is; if God can do anything, then he should be able to create a second God that is stronger than himself.

The funniest thing about this God is that most of the people preaching about him are not even sensible. If I were a powerful god, I would have sensible people representing me. Jesus and Muhammad were both illiterates by their own societal standards. Moses was literate but not a trained priest.

Going further about people who represent God, every believer is divided on who or what this God is. Some say that God is Male. Some say that God is gender neutral. Some represent him as an old white man in the sky. Some say God is a God of vengeance like the biblical old testament. Some say that he is a God of love.

Then, there is the philosophical problem of creation. Who created the creator? Where does God come from? Did he create himself or he just always existed? If he always existed, what was he doing with himself all those billions of years it took our galaxy to be formed?

KingEbukasBlog:
Can you bring an argument to support your position? If you think there is none.

"No evidence" is an intellectually lazy response

Earth-flatners also claim there is no evidence for a spherical earth. So anyone can throw "no evidence" to avoid the intellectual rigor of showing their position is reasonable

There is abundant evidence for a spherical earth.

Your analogy is incorrect.


There is however a lack of both physical and scientific evidence for your God. You cannot expect everyone to accept a God based on faith.

omokoladejames:
I do agree with you that it's plausible to believe that there are other life forms out in the universe even though there is no evidence for it. There's even nothing to say that our concept of a living creature is universal.... Even on our own little planet, that concept can get blurry. E.g, is a virus living?when can we say a fetus is conscious?e.t.c

So to piggy back on your last statement, if we can say aliens are a reasonable assumption based on what we've observed then its also reasonable to believe in a creator God based on what we know about nature and ourselves.
We are a Species of builders and inventors, so its not hard for us to look our universe and see the designs etched into it and conclude there is a mind behind it. Now you can say there are other possibilities like chance and time, but saying that a believe in a creator is irrational; is quite frankly not being honest.

Take for instance, in 2015, a group of archeologist found a shield made of tree bark dated to be 2,300 yrs old. We've never seen any artifact like this before from that time period. But merely looking at it the archeologists recognized a design and worked of the premise that it was made by someone in the distant past. Of course, you can say the tree bark fell off and over a period of time the environment shaped it into what it is,surely that is one possibility, but we wont say the archeologists were stupid for even considering that a mind could have made it.

A quote from Francis Crick's( Respected british physicist, molecular biologist and neuroscientist, most noted for being one of the co-discoverers of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953.) :An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going. But this should not be taken to imply that there are good reasons to believe that it could not have started on the earth by a perfectly reasonable sequence of fairly ordinary chemical reactions. The plain fact is that the time available was too long, the many microenvironments on the earth's surface too diverse, the various chemical possibilities too numerous and our own knowledge and imagination too feeble to allow us to be able to unravel exactly how it might or might not have happened such a long time ago, especially as we have no experimental evidence from that era to check our ideas against.
This man was skeptical of organized religion and identified himself as a sceptic and an agnostic with "a strong inclination towards atheism". He made fun of christainity and spent the later years of his life trying to figure out how the brain produces consciousness, but based of his work on DNA molecules, even he had to make such a statement.

To keep the writing from being too long sha, i'm not saying pick up a bible and start believing in Jesus but if one is truly looking for the truth,one has to look at all the possibilities. Delve deeper into the science, look at the philosophies behind it, stack it up against what good theologians believe and see where you land.

God is not a reasonable notion. Think about it.

God as described by modern religious people cannot be witnessed by our five senses. They have not seen or heard him. God cannot be measured or tested for scientifically.

God has powers that are not logical. Omnipotence does not compute with the human mind or logic. Omnipotence means that Gods power is limitless. Limitless power is an absurdity; that would mean that God could create a God more powerful than himself. Ridiculous.

Lastly, there is the problem of deciding which God to follow. Thor, Odin, Yahweh, Sango, Zeus. Each God as tribal and superpowered like the rest.

Ihedinobi3:
I think that you're exactly right. I have spent some time answering atheists and listening to atheism, and my verdict is that there is no real objection that atheists have to theism, and certainly none at all to Christ.

However, free will is the most powerful thing in the Universe. God made it so. This is precisely what makes God say to creatures that He made ex nihilo that they are gods. That is pretty serious. It is also why a human being can look at all existence around him and pretend that they see absolutely nothing. That is what free will makes possible.

For this reason, I don't think it is worth the energy and time to try to reason with atheists. I am happy to answer their questions where it is worth it to answer them, and to correct their misconceptions about the Bible where it is useful for other readers. Otherwise, I am not interested in or concerned with their objections, since they are nothing more than insane excuses.

What a very funny stance to take regarding atheists. Imagine if every religion treated outsiders the way you treat atheists, no one will learn from each other. Everyone has valid objections, be they Christian, muslims or atheists.

I have learned that if someone believes that he cannot be wrong, that person will always come off as arrogant and will not be a good listener to other people's opinions.

felixomor:
This one is still in pains

Hello, longest times

Felixomor? You are still here?

I thought you were gone with your paddies butterflylion and kingebukasblog

true2god:
It is very normal. Even Allah's messenger was a slave trader. What is the big deal?

Lol.....some muslims like to ignore such about their prophet.

Sad.

4 years Later, atheism is still going strong

Cheers01:
Kai. Islam and slavery

Empiree, how far?

Ah...when the religion section had both Christian and atheist heavyweights.

Cc xxsabrinaxx, lordreed, mjbolt

Empiree:
no no man. You don't believe in tenets of Islam... period.

If you say you disagree with "certain" tenets of Islam, we have only 5 of them. You used the word "certain" to suggest that you belief in some.


Here they are. Which do you believe and which one you don't?


* Tawheed (God is One)

* 5 daily prayers

* Zakat (annual aimgiving)

* Ramadan (29/30 days of fasting)

* Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca)


Pick yours from above.

Zakat. I believe in charity.

I also stopped drinking years back

jesusjnr:
WHAT HAVE THE DEAD(SATAN ZOMBIE) GOT TO DO WITH THE LIVING?

Jesus was a zombie too. Never forget that

Empiree:
you have history of anti Islam rhetoric. Nothing new

I am not the one lying that Kano muslims drink alcohol. That is you.

I disagree with certain tenets of Islam. That does not mean that I am anti-islam

Empiree:
Again, the article said nothing about religion. What's your problem?. You are Atheist I supposed but here you are covered about Christians to prove your point. Few years ago similar thing happened. They destroyed beer in muslim region only. They did not bother with Christians. The article was posted here that time.

But this article you screenshot said nothing about religion. Your are trying so hard to portray Muslims as oppressor. I repeat, what if they destroyed beer for non religious reason?.

This article didn't give details but you are trying to smuggle Muslims into it. And drinking beer, who da help?

I've never seen someone act so silly in order to win an argument.

jesusjnr:
Don't mention bro.

We are gossiping him, yet we mentioned his moniker and have been saying whatever we have said here in his face prior to this, Lol!

What a way to gossip someone.

You're absolutely spot on, with your position for even Jesus had to pray while He was still on Earth for His disciples before His departure from the Earth.

Yet it's Mary the mother of Jesus who is not here physically on Earth that is praying for humans, something that is clearly an anti-christ doctrine.

But of course, when people are blind to the truth, they can only see lies.

Matthew 13:14-15 (KJV)

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

OGA, HAS ATHEISM ENDED OR ARE YOU TALKING RUBBISH?

Empiree:
Your point exactly is.....?

Are you saying there are no Muslim drinkers?. What if this destruction of beer bottles have nothing to do with religion but the state did it for precaution purposes?. Why did you have to attach Islam and Muslims with this when the article itself said nothing about this?.

Such ridiculous arguments!

Hisbah police is now secular? The hisbah police destroy beer for secular reasons.

Please, what non religious reasons could they have had to destroy good beer?

Furthermore, your questions are stupid. There is a Christian population in Kano, if you don't know. Unless you want to argue that the majority of drinkers in Kano are Muslims....

It is sad that you would disgrace the ummah and lie that your fellow Muslims in Kano are drinkers just to win an argument.


Albaqir, sissie, Jarus. This your guy, empiree, e get sense so?

Kai. Islam and slavery

Has atheism ended or is jesusjnr just a failed prophet?

Empiree:
You added "non muslims" but the article didn't say that.

So Muslims are the ones that drink beer in Kano?

You are lacking intellectually....

Empiree:
refute my post or stop talking

Oppression.

Kano stopping non muslims from drinking beer.

true2god:
You are always 'exposing' with daft argument. Why hailing yourself while you have proved nothing?

Don't mind the clown. I find that too many muslims on this forum do not even understand their religion and how to relate with people outside their religion. Currently, this is a real issue.


Back in the day, we had muslims like tbaba12 and sweetnecta who knew how to talk about religion.

Empiree:
We need more muslim journalists in nigeria bcus the current media houses is largely occupied by christians and they are able to make up stupid stories. Sheikh Habeeb Adam Ilory - Mudir Murkaz exposed them in his recent Ramadan lecture. The reason i posted my statistics up there about non-muslim govts are the one killing muslims is bcus it very common for christians to claim "muslims are killing christians" anytime something happens or whenever BH killed people. This is what they always tell us.


Sheikh Habeeb Morkaz obtained data statistic from US department in Connecticut dated May 18, 2019 exposing BH sponsors and saying that from 2015 to 2018, 37,500 plus people have been killed. Of this amount, 32,000 muslims are killed. The rest are christians and people of other faith. Yet, Nigeria media always publish that muslims are killing christians. Below is the video i just watched today where the Sheikh exposed them. The group funding BH is mentioned by Global Profile Alliance Conference published the article. Please fast forward to 1hr30m to hear him. Quran warned us to be careful of news we received. Christians are not peaceful people. They are part of nigeria problems. BH are not muslims but a christian alliance group. Well trained to sabotage islam/muslims.


Please watch the video and spread it. People killed by BH are

This is the daftest argument I have ever heard. So, Boko Haram killing mostly muslims is an argument that shows what exactly? That that type of Islam is not violent?

Boko haram kills both muslims and Christians. Even if they kill muslims more than christians does it change the fact that it is an extremist brand of Islam?

What is your point? That boko haram is not Islamic? That boko haram is not oppressive to non muslims?
