The enemy of a Hausa man is a Hausa man. The headache of a Yoruba man is another Yoruba man. The poison of an Igbo man is a fellow Igbo man. Your worst nightmare is always closer to you than you think. While this man and his cronies loot his people are dying in droves. This is also happening in every other state across the federation. The curse of an African is another African.

LordReed:


Just as Christians, Muslims and some other religious groups have indulged in wholesale slaughter. Should we label Christians has having no moral compass because of that? Or rather should we take the individual practice of the religion rather than a blanket condemnation because of the actions of a few?

1 If you must judge a religion you don't do so by scrutinizing the adherents of the religion because the adherents may and may not have live their lives in strict adherence to the dictates of the religion. In addition, followers of a religion may bring in their subjective bias regarding how they follow the religion. Biases could come in by way of the culture, values, and socio-economic status of the followers. If you must evaluate a religion you have to evaluate the pioneer of the religion and the sacred writings that form the corpus of the religion. So in the case of Christianity, you should be evaluating the person of Jesus Christ and the Bible. In the case of Atheists, we need to evaluate the big daddy of modern materialism: Charles Darwin, and we also need to scrutinize their writings which have gone on to become the key guiding principles of atheism. Saying atheists, Western atheists, do not have a moral compass, does not necessarily mean atheists are not moral but that they do not have a basis to justify their morality and I can argue that their morality is based on Judeao-Christian traditions and values that are the basis of their civilization. In climes where there isn't a similitude of a Judeao-Christian hold, atheists may be completely devoid of any form of morality. This is why no Western atheist will consider himself or herself to be in the same group as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, Pol Pot, etc even though these ugly folks are all atheists as well.



Wrong. They do have a moral compass it just not the one you believe it should be.



Well make up your mind do atheists have no moral compass or is the compass different. It can't be both.



What is fundamental difference between the purpose you perceive a god gave you and the one I created for myself?
2 You cannot create a purpose for yourself because you did not create yourself. If you created yourself, you would be assigned the purpose you had in mind that informed your decision to create yourself. The purpose of an entity that has a beginning always comes into existence before that entity is created. This is the case for all of man's infrastructure. From buildings to bridges to social media platforms like www.nairaland.com, anything that has a beginning must have a purpose that was determined before the creation of that thing. This invalidates the whole idea of giving yourself purpose just because you are a sentient being. If you give yourself purpose you are basically abusing yourself because you are assigning a purpose to something that should already have a purpose. This is the origin of all abuse. Now you could give yourself the purpose of being a doctor and starting a hospital to give free care to all but how will you argue against someone else who gives himself the purpose of having a marijuana plantation and smoking weed all day every day till death parts him from his marijuana plantation? You cannot argue against such a person because even you are operating from an invalid position. This is why scientists stumble at the philosophical question: "Why are we here?". A GOD-exclusionary answer to this question is very difficult and the answer to this question will provide the atheist with a purpose for existing. Until scientific materialism answers this question, all atheists have no purpose except the one assigned to them by themselves which amounts to abuse.



There is no objective way, we have to collectively agree on what morality is. Which is why words become powerful they transmit ideas of what morality should be.
3 We cannot collectively agree on what morality should be. Our cultures are so diverse that it is impossible to unify our consciousness of morality. Will a white man prostrate before his parents as a sign of respect? Will an elderly Yoruba man be called by his first name in the community by a 13-year-old? Will the Caucasians welcome the idea of drinking cow blood as a rite of passage in some African cultures? Will a Jew accept that before he can be reconciled with his estranged wife his wife must be married to another who must divorce her before she can be reconciled to her husband as is the case in the Islamic world? So dude it is impossible for us to collectively agree on what morality is without having an arbiter who is outside of our plane of existence.



Yes, functionality is a valid consideration for morality but why do you think it is limited to atheists though? According to your beliefs do you not act in ways that are considered good because of their functionality?
4 "Hedonistic functionality" is an intellectual way of saying "Doing what seems right in your eyes". Functionality is great but we all know that functionality has different meanings to different people. Insulin shots are functional for the diabetic but not for the bodybuilder and this is a very innocuous example. Some examples can be more barbaric. Now it is known that in some royal homes or the homes of billionaires, there is this tendency for in-breeding. This is functional to ensure that bloodlines are pure and that familial heritage is indeed kept within the family. But you and I both know we will not do this shit even if we own all the money in the world, right? This is why "hedonistic functionality" will not work as a universal guide to morality because in the end it will not result in a single objectively determined moral code".


In the end bro, you need an uncaused first cause that must be responsible for all life and responsible for all morality.

A study conducted by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, found that atheists and agnostics are more driven by compassion to help others than highly religious people

The study, which was published in the July 2012 issue of the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, analyzed data from a national survey of more than 1,300 American adults

The findings indicated that compassionate attitudes were linked with how many generous behaviors a person engaged in, and this link was strongest in people who were atheists or only slightly religious, compared with people who were more strongly religious

In another experiment, participants were told that a participant before them had given a portion of their money to a stranger, and those who reported feeling more compassionate and less religious were more generous in this experiment

The study suggests that empathy and compassion are not the only factors at play in religious people's giving, but it does indicate that atheists and agnostics tend to be more compassionate and more inclined to help others when they feel compassionate.


https://www.livescience.com/20005-atheists-motivated-compassion.html

1300 American adults is a bad sample to generalize to the whole world. American adults, Christian or Atheists, have a liberal cultural background that is not the norm in other climes. Your conclusions based on this study can at best only be relevant for the American people. Again did the 1300 sample stratify at least by socio-economic characteristics of wealth and social capital, race, nationality, migrant status, and gender? Also, can you seriously claim that 1300 sample units are representative of a country of over 300 million people? I would like to see the external and internal validity of the sample used. Some researchers these days are being outed for fudging data to achieve crazy effect sizes that go on to become the basis of outlandish hypotheses (See one example here). So I still will not take your conclusion seriously until I see the paper, how the sample was drawn and how it arrived at its conclusions (which is not included in LiveScience website you just shared).

Each time there is a massacre of Christians, I noticed that you guys come online and start raining curses on the evil perpetrators. I 100% support your anger, but I also see these curses and prayers as foolishness of the highest order.

IF GOD COULD NOT Protect THE VICTIMS, WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR CURSES AND PRAYERS WOULD CHANGE ANYTHING?


Why are you not seeing god fight these bandits and you still have to call on government to save you? Makes zero sense.

It is time you guys realize how useless your prayers are

Peace

Those cursing are doing so out of anger and desire for retribution but they are wrong to do so. These killings are a fulfillment of prophecy by the LORD Jesus Himself: Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Matthew 24:9 in fact Jesus in John 16:2 prophesied that: ...the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. Christians will be persecuted till the end of this age. When the souls who were wrongfully killed on earth protested to the LORD asking for retribution on those on earth it was said to them: ...and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Revelation 6:11 Christians in the south may think they are safe but they will also be tested by the fire of tribulation which has started to trickle on Christians all around the world.

I pray the LORD Jesus grants us the grace to go through these flames and come out unspotted defending the faith to our last breath.

A study was done recently on the level of compassion for their fellow humans, i believe, between Atheist and Christians.

The study showed that although Christians complained more about evil in the world, they didn't act on becoming better or even fighting the evil. ooops, that's just me putting words into the study... The study showed that Atheist are willing to do and currently do more for humanity than Christians.
What the study really wanted to say was "Christians are all hypocrites and selfish." ahhhh....That's more like it. What more would one expect from a bunch of delunded pricks who believe their are the "best" in the world? "God's children." Yeah right! undecided undecided

You talk of a "study". It would be nice if you shared the study so that we can evaluate how they objectively determined that Christians are not willing to do more than complain about the evil in the world and how Atheists were better in this regard. You know nothing about Christianity. At least it is expected that before you criticize a thing you have to educate yourself about that thing first. Christianity is a system of beliefs founded on the belief that we were once perfect, evil came and we became imperfect and because we are imperfect we need to be saved...and salvation may be a one-time experience or a life-time of struggle. While many have sought to pervert the way of Christianity, this has been the core belief of most Christians. No Christian will tell you he or she has the answer to all questions rather they will point you to the person they keep looking up to for salvation in the person of the LORD Jesus Christ and when Jesus walked this earth all He did was feed the poor, heal the sick, raise the dead, comfort the weary, give direction to the lost, strengthen the weak, stand up to the establishment and give the people hope in a future that was once thought to be impossible. For your education, I will refer you to this link: The Judeo-Christian Foundation of Human Dignity, Personal Liberty, and the Concept of the Person which describes how Judeo-Christian traditions shaped modern societies for good. I am not excusing the many times when the "Christianized Misinformation" was used to by colonists and enslavers but one cannot deny the profound positive impact Christian traditions have had on Western Societies and how it transformed these societies into allure of the world whereas in societies where Christianity and indeed religion as a whole is demonized what follows is carnage, bloodshed, destitution and destruction usually led by a tyrant.

I have always noticed that when a government seeks to do away with GOD they do so so that they have absolute power over the people and anyone who seeks such power often does so to subjugate the people violently and the outcomes will always be hundreds of millions of people dead. The worst atheist will most definitely not want to be born into North Korea so in the end who is the true hypocrite?

Last time I checked Stalin was an Atheist and he killed millions, Mao Tse Tung was an Atheist and he killed millions. Lenin was an Atheist and he killed millions. Atheists have no moral compass. Morality to an Atheist is subjective. If you accept that we evolved from inanimate matter then there is no purpose to existence. No purpose means there is no objective way of determining wrong doing. Hedonistic functionality replaces objective morality for an atheist. If killing babies play a functional role in society, atheists will support it. If using human subjects are lab rats will help create a serum of longevity atheists will support it provided they are not the lab rats. Atheists
Business / Re: How Do Business People Cope In This Harsh Economy? by efficiencie(m): 2:27pm On Jan 26
ChatterHouse:
Imagine you buy goods of #12,000 with the hope of making profit of #300 after sales you end up buying the same goods for #15,000

You're making loss not profit cause you cannot buy the same quantity of goods you sold with the capital+ profit you made

This hyperinflation in Nigeria is killing small and medium scale businesses

I'm asking small business owner how are you coping in this economy?

Right now the Nigerian economy is not fit for small businesses. As the middle class shrinks and more and more people are plunged below the poverty line we can expect aggregate demand driven by the middle class to fall. Those sustaining aggregate demand are the upper class and their consumption basket is not the same as those of the middle class. If you must do business you must target goods and services that in the consumption basket of the rich and the corrupt. High end real estate is one good area. As bad as the economy is there are people buying houses worth 300 million naira, 500 million naira, 10 million dollars etc. Real estate seems to be the safest investment around and there is a second type of investment that will boom this time around due to high food prices, insecurity in food basket states, and the high cost of transportation. Just thinking about these three challenges I just mentioned is enough to spark this business idea in someone's head but I am keeping this to myself cos I wan enter that area fast.

Some investors find it more financially rewarding to rent an apartment and put up their own houses for rent. Such investors can own cars and you will be fooled into thinking they are "tenants" but they have a portfolio of real estate assets. I would rather live in a rented apartment and let the landlord deal with the taxes, land charges etc and in my several houses I will earn income through rent and pay all the rent, taxes etc from the revenue generated by those houses. In the end, living in a rented apartment while owning real estate is the surest way to cushion the effect of taxes, land use charges etc and at the same time live large.

The people you are to target are the parents not their children. Sex is too pleasurable and only the authority of a parent can override children's desire to fulfill their sexual wants in immoral ways. The days of parents checking their daughter's virginity are long gone. The days of fathers educating their sons on consequences of getting a lady pregnant are long gone. The days of mothers educating their daughters on the virtues of remaining chaste until she is married are long gone. Mothers these days push their daughters to rich dudes and indirectly teach their daughters to be sluts. Fathers who are supposed to be the guiding map of the home have abdicated their responsibility. Parents are the ones that need to be reformed, if not you will only end up wasting resources.

If you want to survive in life, you must have a shock absorber.

President Tinubu told me when we were meeting that somebody told him not to trust me, he said NO. Politics and betrayal are the same mother and father.

If you don't want to be betrayed, don't enter politics. So, don't be bothered that somebody betrayed you because politics and betrayal go together.

Prepare yourself that it will happen.

So when I see most of you, you come toe crying and say I can't believe this will happen, once you go, I will find one good whiskey and drink and say see this one, he is not prepared.

I am fully prepared. That's what President Tinubu taught me, if you don't want to be betrayed, don't enter politics.

These young men, members of the Rivers State House of Assembly didn't tell me before they defected to the APC. They said if they had told me, I will have said no so they had to do the needful.

The G5 through former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom earlier endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term.

The Banquet is held in honour of the FCT Minister, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike.

This is why Nigeria can never be better. I don't care how many prayers you pray. If your prayers do not eliminate the leeches in power and transform the thinking of Nigerians from one of greed and betrayal to one of togetherness and solidarity we will keep praying and nothing will change in Nigeria. Nigeria is a lost cause unless its people form a parallel government. Anything short of a parallel government is a scam that will never work.

You're not being realistic with that upkeep, bro. It's almost impossible to be on such amount as monthly income and be able to keep your everyday expenses pegged at 100k.

With that income, you'll feel the need to drive your own car. If you're not careful, 100k won't cover your monthly cost of fuel alone.

With the kind of work I do, I can keep my expenses to 100k. I don't have or need a car so basically all my expenses go into "upkeep". Nevertheless to make my response more general one could make reallocations from some other items to upkeep.

The pope said if any one including gays want to give thanks giving in church take the items and bless pray for those who bring it.

Or bless pray for them when they come and ask for prayers

But not to bless them (gays)
as wife's and wife's or husband and husband etc

So he is still in the bible parameter.




Though this fine line may be trampled upon by a pro western way of life in the future this gaps may be exploited by another pope and given a calculated easy route to accept their sin in the church.


Oga don't deceive yourself. People who were secretly gays have always come for blessings. Why is there a special document asking priests to bless them? Why isn't there a special document for blessing polygamists, atheists, armed robbers, prostitutes and heretics? Why single out gays for special recognition? Unless ofcourse you have ulterior motives to sneak an abomination into the church. Two gays show up and ask for blessing. They inform the priest they are gay and that they need blessing and then a priest blesses them...sooner than later it will become a practice sustained by the church.

Did you understand my post? You want an argument for no reason. We are not assembling to meet God rather we are assembling for advantage of being together.

Our assembly or disassembly does not validate or invalidate the evidence for God. These two issues have nothing to do with each other. The OP wanted to know why we assemble and not a proof of whether the person in whose name we assemble exists or not.

Many assemble for many reasons. Some assemble to have orgies. Some assemble to hunt and kill innocent people. Some assemble to meditate and channel spirit beings (and I wonder why people don't attack these folks). Some assemble to engage in customary and traditional rituals (like the Oro). Some assemble to tell fables while drunk. Since the start of Christianity, faithfuls, sceptics and seekers have assembled in the name of the LORD Jesus and it is their right to do so. You can call it whatever you want but we assemble in the name of the LORD Jesus.

Religion / Islam's Nikah Halala Is An Abomination by efficiencie(m): 5:54am On Dec 29, 2023
If Adam out of sheer anger had said to Eve "talaq, talaq, talaq", according to Islamic law, as given by Allah to Muhammed, Adam would have divorced Eve. Now if Adam and Eve resolve their differences amicably, Islam forbids them from coming together again until Eve is married to and divorced by another man. This means another man must first sleep with Eve for as long as he wants and then divorce her before she can return to her first marriage. Now my question to the Muslims is how will Eve sleep with another man when she is the mother of all? Won't this
stupid law result in incest if it were applied to Adam and Eve?

What happens when in the course of marrying another man she gets pregnant for that man? Will it be lawful to return to her first husband with the child of another man?

What is the relevance of this law? What is this law trying to achieve? If anything, it looks like the law seeks to promote immorality which is rife in Islam.

Recently employed by Harrods, the lady identified as Akorede but known on TikTok as @korrxss, disclosed that she had not yet started her first shift when she received the notice of termination from the company.

Before the viral video of her dismissal, she had gone viral with a previous video in which she talked enthusiastically about her job at the UK-based luxury department store.

In that first video, she suggested that her social class has shot up because of her new employment, stating at one point:

“I’m dealing with the richest of the rich, who are you dealing with [giggles]?”

Lmk if u want tips on how to get innnn 🥰🥰🤗


But in the second video, her story changes. Sounding disappointed, she told her followers on TikTok that she didn’t even do her first shift at Harrods before she got fired for going on social media.

Akorede wondered who may have sent the footage to the employer after she was fired. She gave the situation further thought and concluded that it taught her an important lesson to avoid posting pleasant news on the internet.

“I got fired! Before I even did my first shift, I got fired. Someone must have sent the video ‘cos I don’t know how they must have found it. I took that video after I attended my induction; I’ve not even attended my first shift.

“That was really sad. I learnt a really valuable lesson; don’t ever tell good news to people or the internet, keep it to yourself. Upon reflection, that was kind of a shitty video; I was just joking and was just excited,” she said in part.

Sis really got sacked by luxury store #Harrods before even starting the job, due to a bragging video posted about her new role 🫣👀


Her story has drawn varied reactions online.

angry person carry knife u use gun shoot am
Wetin do ur teaser or una no fit shoot am for leg ni

Yeye explanation

Only a fool will pick up a knife against a person armed with a gun let alone armed cops. He was asking for it. Racism or not, if he was killed while being unarmed and not resisting then the cops will be held accountable but if he was brandishing a knife he just gave the racist or not-racist cops the license to end his life. People should use their heads.

I've been thinking about this alot, and can't seem to understand what "submission" means.

What does it mean for a wife to submit to me? Also, can women provide what "to submit" means to them?

Is submitting to a man similar to submitting to God in the sense that man has the last and final say? Does this mean, the man's will should supersede that of the woman? Does submitting mean, taking care of? Please, explain it to me like I'm a dumb 5 year old.



If you are referring to submission as stipulated in Christian circles then you have to refer to the Bible. The scriptures say: "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord". Ephesians 5: 22 The greek for "submit yourselves" is pronounced "hupotasso" and it means to obey, be subject to or the put under. In the same verse, a standard is provided. You are to submit to your husband and you would to the Lord Himself.

This standard is beyond any wife but it is the standard that Jesus wants all wives to work towards. The same can be said of the standards for the husbands.
