Christianity Etc › Re: Man Does Acrobatics During Deliverance Session Conducted By 'Snake Pastor'.Photo by dtwsola(m): 1:50pm On Jul 07, 2017

hopefulLandlord:
Religious belief is an invisible security blanket for insecure individuals.
Closeted minds will continue to allow brainwashing and indoctrination by religious leaders that there is a 'god', and there was a 'jesus', in order that the people with closed minds allow themselves to be controlled so that the various Corporations (churches) remain profitable as the tax-free money continues to roll in. people center their lives around a fairy-tale. All that time, energy and money centered on a lie. For some it's a business, for others it is the central cause of division within their family. Religion sucks. All of them.
Abrahamic religion especially is all lies. Its a fantasy created for control, to impoverish the masses and keep them humble. No longer are chains and whips required, we can control people thru a promise in a book . The government loves evangelistic preaching . It subdues masses, keeps them paying taxes, makes them docile, humble meek low self esteem folks just waiting till death for some promises they will never get. Provisions, prayer requests, blessings for behavior, recompence for offerings and tithes, fruitful accomplished life , all this and more ....you gotta believe !! Faith and the promise of hope.... for some imaginary posthumous expectations

You probably copy and pasted this from somewhere but it's truth nonetheless

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers? by dtwsola(m): 11:00am On Jan 22, 2017

kevoh:
because prayer (or praying to a god) is the same thing as talking to yourself... Then add other miscellaneous time wasting actions like ~~starving~~ fasting, flagellation, burning of incense, paying the Pastor/Priest/Imam some money, climbing some mountain, eating grass/fuel, scream shiboribobobo in tongues e.t.c and you would still get the same result if you just prayed to your gas cooker at home!

lol. You said it better than I could ever have

I'm not trying to diminish this ladies' accomplishments, but stop with the falsehoods, Nairaland. York College is not a top US university, it's hardly even qualifies as a university. It's mostly for people seeking nursing degrees and few other specialties. You can't get an engineering degree, any science degree, or even a liberal arts degree at York College. It's just a small college in Queens, New York.

Sports › Re: Response To The Hate Speech On Football By Ann Coulter by dtwsola(m): 10:11am On Jun 30, 2014*

cronsberg: I just don't know whats wrong with this americans

The whole world calls it FOOTBALL, americans call it soccer
the whole world calls it trousers, americans calls it pants
the whole world calls it beef, americans calls it steak
the whole world calls it kiligram/centimetre/metre/celcius e.t.c americans calls it pound/inches/feet/fehrinhite

You better get in harmony with the rest of the world: bunch of unrepentant escapee prisoners of the old empire.

First off, you must be an unsophisticated and uncultured individual if you don't know that steak is a particular cut of beef, and whether you are in Australia, UK or U.S, steak is the same thing. Beef just means any meat from a cow. It's only Nigerians I know that oddly only refer to beef as 'meat' as if it's the only type of meat.

Canada and Australia all have their versions of football, and Canadians call it soccer as well. Australians national team are even called the Socceroos.

Second, I feel people like you, Shymmex and co, are just extremely petty. If you want to criticize America for legitimate reasons such as intervening in foreign affairs or the NSA, I'm fine with that, but criticizing them for having their own distinct culture is silly. Soccer was a term coined by British that stuck with the American colonies and much of the terminology used in Am. English was formed by cultural norms and influences at the time. It's not like they just wrote a dictionary and changed everything to be different from the British.

So what if they use a different set of units here - they use the same units that the British established in the colonies that Nigeria was also using in the 70s and there was no strong reason for them to change. I prefer metric and I even use it here in my occupation in the states, but if it works for them, why do you care. It hasn't stopped them from being scientific and technological innovators.

The funny thing about this whole thread is that there are many Yanks who are passionate about football. I personally don't care if they do or do not like it - I like it since I was raised in football, but being here for a while, I can understand why a number of Americans detest it and they have absolutely every right to do so. It's like some of you are jealous that they have their own ways of doing things. That being said, Ann Coulter is a loudmouth idiot that only right wing idiots would listen to. I like how some of you have let her opinions represent all Americans when she actually represents the loony fringe, so you can just make this another bash the Yanks thread.

tefund: mediocre candidate for African footballer of the year these days

This is the truth of the matter. Mikel being a candidate would just reflect the poor form of African football these days. Gone are the days of true elite African footballers (90s, early 00s). Instead of guys honing their skills on the pitch, I see so many young and out of shape Naija guys, who would rather waste their time obsessing over English league clubs and players.

don't listen to these jokers - don't start consuming eba, you'll just get pot belly. Building lean muscle requires consumption of a very high protein diet, with moderate fats and low carb. Eat lots of fish, chicken, plenty egg whites, beans etc. Combine that with weightlifting (heavy weights, low repetitions) and you'll be ripped (and not fat) in no time unless of course you're an ectomorph. But even ectomorphs like myself can still build moderate amounts of muscle, but don't expect to become a bodybuilder.

That photo has similar vintage to my parent's wedding photos from 1975 (37 years ago), though they married in the village (so there might have been more modern technology). Going off that, I'd age the photo about 37 years (give or take 3 years) making Okocha between 37 and 43 years old. Perhaps not all Nigerian footballers are lying about their age.

Education › Re: Should Religious Studies Be Compulsory In Schools? by dtwsola(m): 8:16am On Oct 25, 2012

Religious studies is no different than other subjective studies such as 'Greek mythology', 'English literature' or 'Modern Art'. These types of courses should be purely academic and free of any bias. In other words, CRS (as it was called back in my days) should not be a class where the teacher tries to evangelize the students. Unfortunately my 'typical Nigerian' teacher back in secondary school tried to turn the class into a deliverance/Holy Ghost service. mcheeew

To answer the question, no it should not be compulsory; It is not a fundamental study like Language or Mathematics, It should instead be done out of interest as an elective course.

LOL @ you telling people to do research that you haven't done yourself. No state in the US is predominantly black. Cities, particularly big cities perhaps maybe but not a whole state. Louisiana is over two-thirds white and a republican stronghold, New Orleans in Louisiana, on the other hand is predominantly black.

Nigerians, are hyper-sensitive of the way Western media typically portrays Africa. But if you watch the U.S. version, you know Rick Ross has no agenda. He showed the most slummy ghetto areas in the U.S. (New Orleans) in that version. The song is about overcoming struggle so of course he has to show the hustle and struggle of Lagos life. Nigerians are so status conscious and act as if what he's showing is not reality. It's very real and just because well-off Nigerians choose to ignore it, doesn't make it any less real.

Islam is losing everyday to xtian converts because a good number of muslims do not represent what Islam is about-
Shame.....

He isn't even a white American. The man is a Coptic Christian (an Egyptian Christian) who resides in the U.S. Sorry Muslims are not helping themselves by their irrational reactions to this event.

What Americans? Why are you posting such nonsense. Americans did not join together and co-opt to make a film about Mohammed. This was the action of one obscure fellow, who as it turns out is actually an Egyptian Christian, residing in the US. That man is guaranteed his freedom of speech in the U.S. If the Arabic Muslims brains are too undeveloped to understand that and they wan't to continue to be violent barbarians, how is this America's fault? And there have been plenty of degrading books and films about both Christianity and Obama. Sounds like you really are just talking about matters you know nothing about.

Politics › Re: Massive Security At US Embassy In Abuja (Pictures) by dtwsola(m): 6:20pm On Sep 14, 2012

dasparrow: @Post

America and her citizens are always causing trouble. The western world knows that Muslims don't play with their religion or Prophet Mohammed. So, why go out of your way to provoke them? I am not making excuses for what is going on right now in the Muslim world but as a christian, the bible admonishes us to treat all people with respect and think before we speak so that what we say will be edifying to the ears of our listeners. Now look at all this trouble. One day silly america will plunge our world into world war 3 because america and her citizens are too stubborn and don't listen. Sometimes, silence is golden. Americans talk too darn much and alot of what comes out of their filthy mouth is always bullshyte. Anyways, na dem know.

Clearly, you're not very bright. Just another blame-America-for-everything joker. What does America or it's citizens (some of which are Muslims) have to do with one individual's actions? The U.S is not a theocracy and does not repress freedom of speech and of expression. Christianity has been mocked in Hollywood for decades - of course they haven't dared to mock Islam because of fear of events like this.

So you think because a bunch of illiterates are offended by something as mundane as this amateur film (which most haven't even seen for themselves), that the U.S should constantly be walking on eggshells and go against their own principles of freedom of speech so as to not offend their unfounded and insecure sensibilities. Clearly, you are not a rational being. Most Americans don't give two sh.its either way about Islam and even if they hated the religion (as I do), they have every right to. Muslims have proven time and time again that they are violent buffoons who overreact at the slightest provocation.
