balarabe01:

well there is God somewhere.call it God,supreme being,supernatural being whatever...but if you deny religion,i might spare you,but denying the existence of God is something common sense cant deny.
question
the SUN has been existing for billions of years and has never defaulted so who or what is responsible for that?nature?
man dies the sun lives where is the nature?
sun is supposed to serve man but man dies living the sun,if nature were to spare any being it will be man not sun.that means there is aGod controlling the sun.goodluck.

You don't know jackshit, do you? Nature spare man? Not sun? This is the kind of anthropocentric bullcrap that makes religious folks dangerous, you honestly believe the sun is there to serve you, and that so therefore God put it there for you! Goodness me! Worship Helios then, the greek sun God! ��

Bibors:
The day I discovered that atheists don't exist was the day one of them said " Thank God there is no god".

A little education for you buddy!

Desirae:
Every Monday morning, the company I work with holds a meeting. Before the meeting starts, the Manager appoints someone to pray.
As an atheist, if you're called upon to pray, what would be your response? Considering how sensitive the topic of Religion is, especially in Nigeria. And also considering the fact that not everyone is open minded.

What would be your response?

Richard Dawkins addressed a similar issue in an interview recently, although in his case it's concerning dinner with colleagues where sometimes he is required to say Grace, and despite being a militant atheist he nevertheless always said it when called upon to do so, he justified his action by saying "I'll tell no lies, but I have no objection over saying some meaningless words"
So pray when called upon to do so, consider it a social activity, it's only rational to maintain social harmony, it takes nothing away from your atheism.

� don't despair man, we're here!

Maglorix:
So every guy who posts a topless pix is gay?

Una don dey reason like una president

In most instances? Yes. I don't believe you're part of the exception, an obsession with anything latently homoerotic, like referring to close friends and acquaintances is another pointer also, you fit 2 profiles. Accident? I doubt it.
Enjoy ya gay ass life cutiepie , queer ain't bad!

Maglorix:
Lol ...... how should I reply her?

You're the one with a topless profile picture, who is gay here?

;DThis result ain't good enough, APC una no try at all, all the mouth wey una bin dey make you for dey win dis thing like magic na

LMBO, the Power party really are MASTERS OF THE GAME!

Watching!

SkinnyDude:
bia, look. even if you only need friendship. the girl must surely find a way to start taking advantage of you.
i.e. turning you to her mugu, maga, assignment boyfriend, seat reserver and ATm. i will soon stop making friends with ladies..

I guess you need to learn to not do what you don't expressly intend to do. Your friendship with a girl should be no different from your friendship with your guys. That's the way to a magarizmless relationship with girls.

MzNelly:


SIr, what are you saying precisely? That the friendzone is the excuse of an ineffectual male or what?

Go through my second comment on the thread.

I wouldn't call a guy who knows what he's going in for ineffectual. I think guys should care to be friends without the ulterior motive of going into pants an all that.

MzNelly:
I'd like to respectfully state that that isn't friend zoning; its something you and I know as magarizm

Did you actually read my case scenario story? Read it again pls and show me the 'magarizm' there.

Lady X and Guy T eventually move on, he onto other toasting targets, she as a potential toasting target for other guys, as is expected.


What I believe I see in the case scenario story is simply a guy being a guy as is proscribed for guys by society by and large. And a girl who simply wanted a friend.

So perhaps if the men out there would open up more for friendship, without expecting sexual favors for their niceness (if they insist on being nice the typical guy way, giving gifts and all that), or the likely possibility of 'wifing' their lady friends, maybe then we wouldn't have to be discussing the 'Friendzone'.

There's a benefit to honest non-demanding friendship, you get to know someone deeply without the normal guard romance spring up from both parties involved. If say by a stroke of destiny you are meant to be partners, your partnership has a higher probability of being the envy of all.

If you've been an active 'front page Nairalander' like myself, in the time spanning the later half of last year to date you too must have noticed the series of "Friendzone" topics, one after the other, mostly by guys complaining about having been Friendzoned and why that is unfair and need to stop.
I viewed a couple of them, and ignored others, and like most people (I hope) just shook my head in wonder as to what we've turned into as a society.

***Disclaimer****
I'm a guy with four sisters, with a strong woman for a mother, and a caring father that gives her all the support she needs not only to attain her dreams but to have her voice heard over the raucousness that's the characteristic of this patriarchal society. So yes, maybe I'm more inclined to take the ladies' side in this argument.

*********


It may be just me, but I think the setting of society where a man see a woman and start assessing said woman based simply on what he can do with her 'sexually', and not what she has achieved, what she has the potential to achieve, and if she simply needs a friend and not a 'lover', is sexist and totally wrong.
I blame this awful societal setting for the 'Friendzone' brouhaha. I may be wrong, but let me present to you a case scenario from my point of view and let you be the judges.

We'll call them Lady X, and Guy T.

Both happen to have been coursemates in one of the many Federal Universities in Nigeria. They've been coursemates for 3 years. X has had her share of friends in the class, and T had never been one of them, they hardly even greet, they may well be strangers for all the familiarity they have with one another.
T has liked the girl from day one, yet he find her aloofness in class quite vexing, he thought she must be full of herself because she was a first class student from the very first semester in 100 Level.
X had never given it much thought but she had always wondered what it'd be like to be friends with T, his clique tend to have the loudest and by far the most laugh everyday in class, and it is always him in the center yearning the weave that ensnare everyone to raucous laughter. He must be interesting, but maybe a bit snobbish, or just shy, probably simply shy. They should be friends, she thinks to herself often, although she never dwelt on the thought.

Then it so happen that they're paired in a group assignment, she was excited. They are coming together in a joint purpose for the first time, they surely must come out of this as friends.
T on the other hand was thinking 'pretty darn thang', maybe I'll get to toast X for once, see what's under that layer of aloofness.
In group discussions preceding their presentation they got along well, she was opening up for friendship, he was going in for a 'date'.
After the assignment they are now a lot closer, they have each other's mobile phone number, they chat often on social network, they even seat together in class now, often one reserving seat for the other. This is common practice between friends in class (same sex though especially), but of course because her motive is friendship all along X has fitted these all to mean they're such good friends now with T.
As for T, he is thinking that for a girl to call him with her own airtime, reserve seat for him in class when he's late, initiate whatsapp conversation with him, she must love him.
So he at last begin to assume society's prescribed role for him as the man in a relationship, sending her the occasional airtime, when they meet in the cafeteria he pays the bill, if she were to resist this he'll feign being hurt, why should she pay when he's there and could afford to, sometimes with a simple look that seem to say 'what are friends for?'
The first airtime was a wonderful surprise for X, the next day as she sat in the seat next to T which he had reserved for her, she quipped "shey dem give you scholarship ni, I saw airtime, it was a wonderful surprise", and they jointly laughed it off, with T remarking he just thought she might need it, and X thanking him.
When the next airtime arrived it kinda startled her, she is no newbie to the Naija affair thingy, of course, once is being nice, twice is a bit too much, thrice will surely be a declaration of occupation. But she brushed it off, he is probably just being a bit too nice.
When next they met it was in the faculty cafeteria, and he handed 1000Naira to pay for the both of them as she rummaged through her purse to get out her 500Naira note, she was too stunned to do anything but simply smile and brush it off, what with so many people around. When they left she brought the issue up, and he did the 'hurt look' thing and the issue was brushed off. But X was aware of what is happening, and it annoyed her.
She simply wanted a friendship, why can't guys get it? Why shouldn't ladies be able to make acquaintance of guys without romantic affiliation? She thinks, how does society expect you to understand the male specie without having had the opportunity of knowing them up close as friends without the burden of romance which expects too much? It is vexing!
When she consulted her girlfriends they of course where put off by her 'naivety', she shouldn't lose this lucky catch and instead should tax to the max the 'mugu'.
Not wanting to do this, X tried to soothingly tell T the honest truth and asked him if they could still be friends? He was mad, she had 'Friendzoned' him, why didn't she mention this earlier, why now, after she'd 'chop' his money? *******

coogar:


your trolling attempt has failed, just like the condom that shoulda kept you away from the waiting ovüm.

The truth is always too bitter a pill to swallow. I believe you got my point not withstanding what balderdash you've chosen to spew thereafter, my deed is done here.

coogar:


do i need to subtitle my last reply to you or something? you don't have to talk to me to call out your idiöcy - my freedom of speech guarantees that.

when they say women are their own worst enemies, you scream like a rhesus monkey. you are using another woman's past ugly ordeals against her in public just to make yourself feel cool?

how could you stoop so low?

You're a cockslurping arsehole!
Your freedom of speech give you the right to say trash against someone exercising their own right to free speech, what does that say about you? You've cockslurped your sense away to the point you're confused as to what you stand for.

Arsehole cockslurper!

Now do you think that General Muhammadu
Buhari
will perform magic, which he could not do when
he
was in his 40s, if you vote him?
What else do they want from President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan?
APC is a party of propaganda so we all know where these demeaning reports are coming from. It all about 2015 and the fact remains that no matter their propaganda and mudslinging, BUHARI WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT... NOT NOW, NOT EVER.

You finished all this epistle without telling us what he did in 'THE MILITARY' .... That's the point of contention here yet you so conveniently ignored to highlight his 'achievements' with 'THE MILITARY' ........

Can you in good conscience simply say it is a conspiracy against the Jonathan Administration and dismiss the matter? Is it not baffling that the 'Almighty' Nigerian Army, and I say this in reverence, could not for three years overcome a silly little 'almajiri' insurgence and let the good law abiding citizens of this nation move forward?
Between me and you, we're like in the millionth page already, so this isn't about the NL community, or the number of likes viewership generates, this is a conscience to conscience discuss, I want you to in honesty tell me that it doesn't baffle you.
And pls doesn't it stand to reason that the president and commander in chief should be the one approached to right the rot in whichever sector of government, and most importantly the military, after all what is he Commander-in-Chief for?

Please...each one of you please answer all of the above jamb questions....

Sincerely,
An ijebu gehl...

How've you been? Great, dead emotionally, but that's not a new thing.
Job wise? Oh, are you kidding me? I'm jobless, lol, kidding my dress-making business is going smoothly.
Love? My love-life is the romantic equivalent of the Sahara desert, only difference is, the sahara desert get more attention than I do, what with wild animals, trees, and a few tough people enduring it.
Life? Boring, but I'm glad to be alive, I mean, although I mostly hate people because they're mean, I think worms are meaner, I'm not ready for their grim company yet, so I love my boring life.
Health? Never been better, can't remember the last time my health failed. I remember going for check up 2months ago and the Dr. going 'wtf are u doing here?!', The mean a5S!
Body? Correct
Testimony Nko? I've done good for myself these past months, not emotion wise of course, I've hurt myself emotionally these past months more than a drug addicted, school dropout, poverty stricken, unrepentant gay African!

Thank you for asking Alos, u r a marvel, I'd think no one remembers me other than people that are forced to see me on a daily basis!

@Hardeshyna You are very 5tup!d, f000l!!!

henrizzle: are u an atheist ?

Mind your bizness? Not too hard if you try.

Gospel songs are stupid, gospel singers are pathetic losers hinging themselves on religion for any chance at whatever success they could get singing, because that's their only means of surviving in the game.

That Mendel bastard!
