The thing is like he said people tend to find comfort in that whole concept of passing away and transcending into another life instead of simply dying.

People need such flimsy wishful hopes to cling to because many are not ready to accept the absoluteness of death.

Death simply means inexistence (stop existing). we have not been existing long before this biological machines called body, i wonder how people still in their greed and selfishness think something will still exist after this body... why was that thing not existing before this body?

It is not difficult to understand why we make up these stories for ourselves owing to the fact that we are probably the only specie on this planet that know at a very young age that we are going to die.

Other species just live in the moment, i doubt the dogs and elephants out there are fretting about an afterlife or greedily hoping for another after this one or performing rituals to earn a place.

No they just live in this brief one as they see it

That knowledge of the inevitable end of our being is somewhat of a burden to us and with that comes a need for a hope to cling on even if it is a wishful shadow, even if it is a greedy one.

It has made many people to get lost in the euphoria of their wishful delusion, cus they have not finished living in this one or ever having learnt to live in this one greedily chasing after another and end up having not lived any at all.

So why not we all forget dwelling in these fantasies and focus on where we are now and what we have right now which is here and now.

Giving up this earth to chase after afterlife is life giving up a known substance to chase after a wishful shadow...[/b]

Most sensible post on this thread!

One keg of palmwine for you.

Shut yo yeye yansh! You can't even pay bus fare! Pfft

Although I don't agree with him completely cos a loving woman brings care, affection and calmness to a man's home, but on the financial front, women una no dey try at all.

Economy bad, yes we know, but why una go dey expect heaven and earth wen una meet any guy?

Smh....no wonder every girl dey find ready-made man; where dem don cook food, set table, make una come chop.

ValerianSteel:
If going by the logic of how the Bible taught me about God's will it means that T.B Joshua's vision are inevitable when God shows him

God simply shows him his awesome will,that is downing a jet of 224 people that can't be redeemed by prayer at the moment he shows his prophet.

I'll never seem to understand this perfect will of God.It is beyond the realms of this world cause that perfect will obviously includes the injustice that many face worldwide,ISIS killing thousands is also God's will and this will is perfect.

Dude, God has no hand in human affairs. He has given us free will, to decide our fate and to take responsibility for our actions.

Religion is a scam. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, e.t.c, all na scam.

Religion is a creation of man to decieve his fellow man.

Do you think God needs our prayers, worship and praises? He doesn't.

You praise am o, you no praise am ooo....he is still who he is.

Stupid Post... So flood don turn to corruption Abi?

Your dullness amazes me!

azat:
@Expensive, See above a tip of the iceberg of how her sanity can be threatened on a daily basis.

She has not even made one diagnosis as a doctor, and a countryman is questioning her intelligence. She is yet to work in a hospital without x-rays o, without drip stands or defribrillator. She is yet to have to deal with watching a dieing patient pack cos of no bedspace or important medicine. And she is yet to crash on a bug-infested beds on her night calls.

You will never understand, and I mean it.

Nobody stated it better than Jesus, a prophet isn't respected in his own town/village/country.

No matter what you do there would always be haters.

Do you think she won't face haters if she leaves for another country?

She would even face worse.

Have you experienced racism before?

I understand you clearly.

You are one of those who have lost hope in Nigeria; believing it is beyond redemption.

Well I have not lost faith because we have not failed as a country.

No we have not, we have only had a very bumpy ride to our promised land.

azat:
My advice was given based on experience and truth.

Neither the nation nor its people value her best; you cannot have your cake and eat it.

Read my post again, and be less sentimental. If she wants continued development and sanity, especially sanity, first choice is not to remain here.

In time she can always be back to make the changes she can here.

One question: if everyone leaves to save his/her sanity, who would make the change?

BTW, did she tell you Nigeria's present situation is affecting her "sanity"?

Lip syncing should be banned in this country!!!

What a disgrace.

Why would I pay for a show when I knoe d arrtist (s) would just be miming to the music being played by the DJ?

Gosh! This is embarassing!

azat:
Well don girl!!!


Better leave Nigeria and go practice abroad for your development and sanity.

Cos I'm sure in the next few years, these same Nigerians hailing now will call for your head for asking for improved welfare, and call you "olodo" and "half-baked" and "arrogant" out of their own frustrations and ignorance.

Canada and Australia, New Zealand, US suggested

If you keep suggesting our best products leave the country for better places, how are we going to make the nation better.

These projects she has set about doing is what we need in this country. We urgently need more people like her to make meaningful contributions to the growth and development of the country.

Who knows, she could be a minister tomorrow and contribute more on a larger scale.

Lets encourage such attitudes and behaviours shown by her so they could be exhibited by others.

yorke1:
My fayose tell them. The messiah of Yoruba politics and the destroyer of APC in Ekiti. Ride on...destroy them all with the truth.

Yah, like the truth he told us of Buhari dying as president right.

I don't know why you people support impunity and electoral fraud.

Fayose shouldn't think we have forgotten "Ekiti gate" with his padi Obanikoro.

He who lives in a glass house should never throw stones.

BTW, I'm neither PDP or APC.

I would love to see Fashola and Amaechi in court answering for their alleged misapproriation of funds.

SeverusSnape:
Dream on... If you believe APC will win Rivers, then you should believe PDP will win Kano.

"APC will win Rivers" , Joke of the decade.

Rivers is not filled with brainwashed people who will be deceived with Aregbe "odourless fufu".

Would you say Ekiti people were not brainwashed with bags of rice in the name of stomach infrastructure?

Truth is most of us Nigerians are blind. We move about everyday with our eyes open, still we can't see properly; can't differentiate black from white.

Hence the political elites take us for granted.

geniusmedia:
This is indeed a welcome idea, this EMBER period does not only need this type of strategy but also need spiritual guidance and devotion. May God spare our lives.

The rate at which road accidents occur during this period is really devastating.

Bro this is not rocket science and we don't need any divine intervention to reduce accidents on our roads.

Its simple, the authorities responsible for ensuring the safety of our roads and the road worthiness our the vehicles have failed completely.

For example, anyone can just wakeup, jump into a car and enter our roads with or without any prior driving knowledge or practice with a driving school and without a driving licence.

Whose responsibility is it to look at this issue, isn't it the same FRSC these people went to see and partner with?

Can you truthfully say they have been living up to their responsibilities?

Please lets stop calling God on issues that the answers are sitting right before our very eyes.

TonyeBarcanista:
A sad one for democracy! But we shall mobilise and meet APC at the poll.

The tribunal judgement was predetermined

Sad!!!

Now I can fully confirm you a PDP stooge, not a true democrat.

Even a blind man would testify that there was no election in Rivers state. The level of thuggery, intimidation and electoral fraud was too evident.

The court was totally correct in its judgement. A fresh election is needed in that state.

Euro31:
Hypocrisy is when Buhari supports the independence of Palestinians but arrests Nnamdi Kanu for clamouring for Biafra

Independence of Palestine from who; Israel? Do you know Palestine is already a country of its own with a President.

You are a joker and you obviously know nothing about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

BTW, Biafra ain't coming to fruition, if Nnamdi Kanu likes let him beat his chest online from now till next millenium.

He should learn how to struggle for self determination the right way; he should borrow a leaf from Catalonia's and Scotland's struggle.

Second Term is now done and dusted...Sai APC
We shall reclaim all mandates in Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Ebonyi, Enugu and Ondo State.
I am sure Dickson would be scratching his head and planning how to disband his legal team

Listening to Chief Osita Osadebe's - Jesus Onye Ndu (great song for the postcolonial times)

I didn't notice anything you wrote but that Osadebe's song.

The oldies sure pass the junk wey our new generation muscians dey try force enter our ears.

dannex:
Ikechukwu and naeto c

Nope. Both are not related by blood. Just they are both hustling Igbo boys.

Any man that marries different women or has children from different women has used his own hands to invite trouble in his house.

One woman is enough problem for a man let alone two, three or four.

doyinisaac:
This "who dem don help" ish is getting stale and boring.......they worked hard or got lucky to get to where they got to,why not focus on ur own life and help urself??and what do u mean by compound our problems??who are the "our"?? speak for urself oooo....I would rather be controversial and be successful than for me to be non-controversial and be broke.....poverty na disease...

It may be getting stale and boring to you but its the truth.

How often do u see a so called "celebrity" stand up for the masses and saying no to injustice; or speaking against certain actions or inactions of the govt which are detrimental to the common man?

Have you seen a celebrity speak in support of the fight against corruption or condemn the abuse of office in this country?

No, they don't and would never do that cos they are too busy "flaunting" this and "flaunting" that on social media.

When I say "who dem help", I'm not talking about a celebrity giving a fan money or expensive gifts; I'm talking about standing up for what is right and condemning what is wrong in our country.

They are voices that the govt would keenly listen to; if for example Nollywood stars have been speaking against ills in the society, definitely Nigeria would be better off than it is today.

OP, you didn't say how much they cost; abi na free?

Americans be like....

Stephansmily:
And how is that related to this

It is related in the sense that she posted something, trying to look "inspirational" and I'm saying I can't take whatever she says seriously cos she obviously sold her conscience for money in the last election. Shikena!

Chiscomax:
I support you...




These celebrities and their show biz is becoming too much, Hyping of prices and themselves.


Since she wants to show us, let her show us the receipt as well.

If I say celebrities mata neva tire me, I blow lie.

Who dem help; all these celebrities, who dem don help.

Who Linda Ikeji don help? Rather they compound our problems by being more and more controversial.

Dude you are a Niger Deltan so stay away from this Yoruba/Igbo wahala.

We Niger Deltans have bigger problems to worry about than Igbo and Yoruba feud; e.g the oil spillage in Ogoni land.

OP, or are you among the lost tribes of the Igbos scattered all over the Niger Delta region calling themselves "Delta Igbos" or Ikwerre, e.t.c?

I pray this post doesn't get to FP; tired of all these celebrity shi.t

What have these so called celebrities done for us or to improve our country, rather they keep singing the praises of corrupt politicians.

Our last election said it all as Nollywood stars showed support for GEJ just cause he paid them well to do so.

As for me, Ghanian, Nigerian or American celebrities don't mean shi.t.

They have nothing to offer other than appear on our T.V screens.

After saying she is ready to die for PDP during the last election in March, I can't take anything this lady says seriously.

Chai! See wetin too much "igbo" cause!

He should go for medical check up; na only one life person get.

See dis clueless Otuo.ke drunk.ard talking ooo.

FYI, what pained us was falling for ur scam of having no shoes while growing up.

Smh.

anonimi:
See person wey add brainless join im own clueless dey open mouth call our former presido clueless, chai

You better go and work on your English language skills and stop embarrasing yourself in public with your EMPTY swagger.

GEJ made a fool of himself in all ramifications during his administration. How can you appoint local militia to protect what belongs to the nation. What then is the job of the army, police, navy and airforce. He should have as well appointed OPC and the Niger Delta militants to fight Boko Haram. Maybe they would have done a better job than the army he clearly reduced to rubbish until six weeks to election when it became obvious that PMB would win.

xmich:
Hunters can do the job of boarder protection perfectly more than our men on uniform

You obviously don't know d difference between looking for meat in the bush and border protection

I seriously hope the Niger Delta militants are not back. They could have mistaken him for a "white man" working in one of the oil companies in Rivers state. Lol

Jokes apart. I really hope his is rescued as soon as possible.

God keep him safe from any harm.
