Amidst all the happenings of the world, the big question to you dear reader is, do you have eternal life?
Don't gamble with your life! Life is short!

According to statistics, the average age of the life span of a Nigerian is 56.4 to 56.9.

How old are you now? Dear reader you don't have much time any longer. You can be disappointed with how your life turn up, you could have made mistakes, wishe you could have done better or regretted for what you did, but there is one mistake you can't afford to make.

The mistake you can't afford to make is to die without eternal life.

2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)


You can lose everything on earth but if you have eternal life then you have won.

Do you know, the most bizarre thing about this, It is the fact that eternal life is free!
You don't need money!
You don't need educational qualification?
You don't need connection?
You don't need any religious observance?
All you need is to know that you are a sinner incapable of saving yourself and then believe and accept the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive you and give you his own righteousness.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

If you have done this, congratulation for you have overcome in Jesus Christ.

You can live knowing you have eternal life through Jesus Christ the Lord.

Have you really stopped to contemplate eternity and do you think you can bear it? I am not sure we can.

LordReed:
Ahhh right just your usual nonsense preaching that has no bearing on reality.

Atheist in disguise, kaabo o!

jaephoenix:
Agnosticism is more honest and scientific but why I tilted towards atheism is this. Let me use an analogy.
Do you believe that unicorns exist?
Now if you say no,why then are you open to evidence about their existence?
Another analogy is this....In court,when there are no evidence of someone committing a crime,do you dismiss the case or remand the person til evidence is gotten? I believe you're a lawyer like you alluded,so think about this one

Brother, as I said, we are too small to make any sound guesses. Do you know how tiny we are in the universe? Let me put it this way. There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth. So imagine you are looking at one grain of sand on a beach or in your backyard. Take that grain of sand as the sun. Inside that grain of sand, take an atom as the Earth. Inside that atom is where we are and we are shouting "no evidence!" without ever even having been outside that grain of sand, because we have not left our solar system.

It is staggering and mind boggling to imagine what could be out there. The truth is that our observation of the physical universe is FAR too small to come to any solid conclusions. Even our very eyes only see a very limited spectrum of the physical things that exist around us.

It is therefore wise for us to be humble, extremely humble in this matter and simply admit that we do not know much.

jaephoenix:
So u r an agnostic,maybe?

Yup.

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Yes migration is permissible but

Making Jakpa the only viable solution will NEVER fix the problems back home.

How did Japan and Germany could rise after World War II after near annihilation? They stayed back and rolled their sleeves. First instinct wasn't to Jakpa.

Many of Germany's beat brains, innovators and scientists left for America.

7it is you that is not current with the use of English and spellings. You are too fool of yourself and you believe you know English more than anyone on nairaland, including me a PhD older. I'm done discussing this issue with you.

Mynd44 how far now? What's up?

Sigh. I tried.

enemyofprogress:
see person wey study Islamic religious studies for school dey argew with me wey study English up to PhD level. Abeg shift jo.

I am trying to help you. PhD in English? Oh my. Please dont allow pride to stop you from learning and improving yourself. You actually have very poor English and there is huge room for you to do better.

Since you will not take my word for it, please see:

Question -

Is the word "Judge" spelt "George" in American English?

Answer -

No, the word "judge" is not spelled "George" in American English (or any other variety of English).

Judge is a noun or verb referring to a public official who decides cases in a court of law.

George is a proper noun, typically used as a given name for a person.

These two words are entirely distinct in meaning and spelling.

The internet and AI Apps are there. Check it out yourself and learn instead of beating your chest over your errors.

enemyofprogress:
says who? You're not current with the use of English language jo. Do you know sintax?

Ol boy, enjoy yasef.
No where in the world is the spelling for jurists "George" as opposed to "Judge".

And this is not a matter of syntax.

enemyofprogress:
i sincerely apologize for the insult, it's not in my character. As for the spellings, boat of them are correct. One is British English, while the other one is American English. I chose to use the American English which is my mother tongue. English is always changing everyday, because English is dienamyic.

That is not the spelling even in American English.

7upnigeria:
I no blame you, TALK IS CHEAP. Not sure your father was a good leader in your house talk more of being a local government chairman or Governor.

And where is your Pop?

geoworldedu:
I read the history of Otem and keyed into it.

Are you sure you are not Otem using a different moniker?

LordReed:
LoLz. None taken. In a sense reeds are weeds.

I mean as in marijuana. Because you get strong mind.


Just kidding.

Cekpo34:
Dear Nigerian Atheist,
What are online nicknames across different platforms? What made you choose those online nicknames? What is the story behind the names, and how do they reflect or reinforce your value orientation as an atheist, agnostic or non-religious? Your response will provide data for an ongoing research project I am carrying out on the functions of Nigerian atheists' online nickname practices.

One day many years ago when I was a baby lawyer I was sitting in a hotel room in Calabar as I had gone for a case there. The power went off for a while and I was sitting in the dark. It was intensely dark, there was nothing to see no matter how one tried to adjust to the darkness. In those moments I had a few thoughts that stayed with me. The first was that I wanted my life to have deep meaning. Another one was that I wanted to see deeply into things seemingly covered in the dark. I have always loved ruminating on the meaning of life and philosophy. So "DeepSight" just came naturally when I registered here years ago.

I am no atheist. But I don't think anyone can decipher this existence and I think that is deliberate.

Anyone who has a clue about the size of the observable physical universe alone will know at once that humans should never presume to know jack.

LordReed:
My alias predates my deconstruction. It's a call to the Star Wars movie franchise.

No offense whatsoever brother, but I always read it as LordWeed.

GodHimself:
I identify as a zipped (highly compressed), low resolution instance of God.

Interesting. There is something valid there methinks.

jaephoenix:
My moniker is Jaephoenix. I chose it obviously cos of the mythical bird phoenix. When I deconstructed,I rose from the ash of religion and got reborn.
The Jae- is a is a corruption of Joe(my first name)

Nice.

Lovelink1991:
That must be very foolish of her to take this risk just to trend

Fake eyelashes? Nah. Its rare that a man has any business with that. Its 99.9999% a woman fixation and a completely needless one at that.
Personally the only "fakish" thing I love seeing on women are classy high heels. And thats not something that is a change to your body in any way.

Up humanity!!!!!
Xxxxxxxxxxx

benalvino3:
So is homo-phobic?

I dont know his attitude in that regard, though I would say its likely he is. I can only limit myself to what I heard him say on that documentary - all of which I agreed with, but that was on the trans/ self identification/ gender pronouns issue.

benalvino3:
Matt Walsh can be very blunt. He does not hold back from backlash when he says things about societal matters. I don't think he is a racist.

The direction was made clear. Maybe you should watch his video directly, not through this guy that did a bad job analyzing Matt's video.

He is a racist oh.
I used to like him especially after his documentary on trans issues / gender pronouns.
But shortly after I came across a hideous video he did describing Native Americans as savages who white people were entitled to kill.

enemyofprogress:
God bless all the georges of the United States supreme cut. Mynd44 we now have answer to our prayers.

I remember telling you a couple of years ago that the word "Judge" is not the same as the name "George" and you insulted me. Years later you are still making the same mistake.

wonlasewonimi:
There are some of his blind followers here who think he is the best thing since slice bread.

Its honestly incomprehensible that black people and christians should support such an anti-black racist and such an ungodly amoral un-Christian paragon of the filthiest depravities and embodiment of sinful narcissistic pride.

benalvino3:
Even the reviewers own videos shows where Matt did it. Are you serious? Did you even watch what you asked me to watch?

24 minutes into your video, he said the brutal killing was not justified. It was wrong.

Okay. I have heard it, my bad. He really said it just in passing and I missed it earlier. He dwelt rather on how Emmet was wrong for supposedly sexually assaulting the woman and even called the whole thing a myth. So its entire direction is still obvious, and it remains sickening to approach the matter the way he did considering the age of the boy and what happened to him.

Aside from this, the man is a known and unapologetic racist.

OL BOY ITS LIKE THESE JUDGES HAVE FREED THEMSELVES FROM THE PDF RAYPIST RACIST.

benalvino3:
I understand why his friends would have been terrified. In that period, even an accusation involving a Black boy and a white woman could have deadly consequences.

But their fear does not establish exactly what happened inside the store. It shows that they understood the danger of the situation, not that every detail of Carolyn Bryant’s later account was true.

That is the point under dispute: there were conflicting accounts, and the precise encounter remains uncertain.

Acknowledging the racial climate explains their reaction; it does not magically resolve a disputed historical question.

And Till likely understood that danger too, which may explain why his friends were so alarmed by whatever they believed he was doing.

None of that justifies his murder, but “they were afraid because of racism” is not evidence that one specific version of the encounter is necessarily correct.

Matt Problem is how the situation is disputed yet what is being taught in school is definitive.

Can you please draw my attention to where in the video Matt condemned the killing, because the reviewer says he didn't.

goslowgoslow:
What is this delulu saying? Kids everywhere on Nairaland.

What!

I said on ya knees!

Immediately! Immediately!

benalvino3:
Yes, he was trying to bring the like father like son situation. Maybe that is relevant to Till's behaviour, maybe not. He himself said it.

There is also an account of Till's friends bewildered and scared to death for what Till was doing.

At the end of the day, he said the murder was brutal and wrong.

But that still does not address his main argument: how the story is taught and whether disputed claims are presented to students as settled historical fact.

You mean you don't know why Till's friends would be scared to death? Are you that ignorant of the history of race relations in the US particularly with white women and black men?

goslowgoslow:
Then stop talking about it, keep your opinion.

Shut up immediately and kneel down wherever you are, especially if in public.

You are conjured and commanded to start slapping yourself ceaselessly.

Obey.

goslowgoslow:
Go to ICAN and make a formal report.

None of my business bro.

goslowgoslow:
Typical reasoning of a black man? Go to China and see what kids are doing especially in the area of technology. You think everybody will be slow in life..all she needs is guardiance. If you have a daughter like her you can lock her up in your ward rope.

Higher Education has a social aspect to it which is not meant for children.
