USA is not a poor nation, but most Americans are morally bankrupt, Just as Nigeria. The difference is that USA government, is up in its responsibilities to checkmate it.
You contradicting yourself. You say USA does not practice religion but are highly moral, at least more than Nigeria. And that's why you're speaking against religion. You've seen a country that don't have time for religion yet highly moral.


akintom:
religion has abundantly claim morality (its source and endowment). Specifically, Christianity claimed to be able to restore capacity not to be immoral, while still on earth, through Jesus christ and holy spirit.
What's the end game of Christians since you're particular about Christians?

The sense of right and wrong (morality) is natural.

Humans are responsible for their actions - right or wrong.

This right/wrong dichotomy is both individual and societal in concept.

Religion claimed origin of morality. And that there is some spirit power to make religious folks act right always. But evidence has shown that, it is false
In case you have not observed poverty is the cause of high cases of immortality in Africa or wherever. Take away poverty and crime rate will drop.

Religion has never claimed morality. Religion only claim there's life after life and what you do in this life determines what happens in next life

It means the religious claims, to the effect that there's some power of the "Holy Spirit", that can make religious folks be moral is FALSE and non EXISTENT.
So what's making some immoral? What's the cause?

Oh... It's actually less there than over here where we claim to believe in God... In fact, the countries with the lowest crime rates are the ones with a lot of people who don't believe in God
And this means their believe in God is responsible for this high crime rate?

He has being mercilessly beaten to the point of dripping blood from the eyes instead of tears. Even if the police is going to release him at all, he will never forget the beating.

Well, he probably might have been caught and beating more than this many times before now and used to the treatment.

I wish we can be giving our political leaders this kind of treatment, but no, we would not do it.
Thieves always go back back to their vomits. Unless they're seriously rehabilitated expect them back on the streets when released

Confirming the conclusion therefore, that morality has origin in nature and not religion
Ok.. Is this leading somewhere?

ChristineC:
a common denominator among supporters of any British institution is that they over-estimate it subconsciously. a striker is assessed by his goals in the end, the worth doesn't change be against men or women.
Anthony Martial is still a striker like Wayne Rooney, that's why he's multifunctional. Marcus Rashford can also play as winger so nothing new.

35-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimović is physically fitter than teenage Will Keane for example.

and if you are asking me his contributions then maybe this is not worth discussing.
Martial has been poor for us but am not sure he or Rashford would have had as much misses as Ibra if played as strikers. The only edge Ibra is that he can hold up play and allow people run in. Unfortunately no one has been taking advantage of that. Shot conversion ratio is key in assessing strikers.

But even if we bring in world class strikers we will still struggle unless we take care of the right and left wing.

CzarChris:
Now let me ask you guys a simple question, whose fault is it that the dollar is where it is right now? Your president came into power, he didn't appoint a single minister till after 6months in power? Why did he place a ban on forex transactions? Foreign investors ran away when they saw a government that had no direction and full of nepotism.
President Buhari doesn't have a single idea of what he is doing. He removed fuel subsidy to save money, where is the money saved? Look at his appointments, how many of them are actually technocrats with experience and track record of achievements before politics? Non.
From his ministers to his advisers. Even the senate had to put a stop to it at the point of ambassadorial nominees.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.
By now you should know the reason that's if you keep an open mind. It became impossible for the fg to provide forex for everybody without running the country to the ground. Also there are lots of investigations involving forex. His methods are poor but then I understand where he is coming from.



By the way there are people wishing naira continues to fall. Those that wants to have made money that they never imagined from this our forex situation.

on whose leadership did the exchange rate saged and become this worst.

let him start using the looters money first before we can trust him with that amount for borrow
The major cause of this exchange rate issue is demand and supply and that is understandable.

Don't worry if we not able to get through this because of one reason or the other our kids will come into this life and make same complaints we are making now. And if they refuse to use their head too their own kids will make same complaints.

You have to understand the genesis of something to tackle it. Yes the government is making revenue but what do you know about the expenses the government have to make? All the recurrent expenditures? Nigeria currently need lots of projects to be done at the same time. Think
