And let me enlighten you a little, those you called basic amenities aren’t cheap at all! Yes! I need tell you the truth
What we pay here in naija is fucking too cheap and that is why it’s not readily available! Highest I get here for electricity per month is 10k.(not stable though) I fuel my gen with average of 2 k per day! Roughly 50k per month! Combine both, it’s still not up to what I pay for electricity a month abroad! You dare not use electricity anyhow else you cry at the end of the month! The comfort you think you get there you still have to do mathematics on it!
Do you know how much I buy a litter of fuel in Europe for your car? We buy for 145naira here and we complain (not up to 50cent).
You all know in naija everyone dig bore hole so we don’t pay for water! Do u know the bill for water a month there? Come and see how Nigerians do micro economics on resources they though it’s readily available! Sometimes I asked them so what’s the difference between here and there?
Doing winter u must heat your house most time with gas! Do you know how much they sell gas?
You better do your analysis well than thank God for naija!
My house rent there for a month will pay for a full year here with change remaining!
So what are we saying!?

Hahahahaha..... you are not the only one has lived outside Nigeria. Do you know that Kuwaitis do not pay energy bills? Do you know that Libyans when Ghadaffi was alive didnt pay energy bills?
Nigeria is oil producing nation and yes energy should be cheaper here.

However, ordinary Nigerians want steady energy supplies and good roads, increase the taxes and the rates... we don't mind.

Stop defending the travesty of the Nigerian nation, its a gooddamn cesspit of corruption and poverty

So long as East Africans participate in this marathon, No Nigerian will ever win it.

Nigerians are not as strong as they think. Our dieting and lifestyle means it's almost impossible to win a Martahon against good athletes.

East Africans know it's free $$$$ whenever they enter for this competition.

I'm expecting the same Kenyans and Ethiopians to win the men's category. At least 1st, 2nd, 3rd.

We are better sprinters naturally as the average East African is built lean due to limited access to water. They -east Africans - have had to migrate often to find water as opposed to us living in the land of milk and honey.

Your average fulani man as well is built lean

Madisonsqua:
People are blinded by poverty...if u ever find ur way out of Naija legally to any OECD country , u will understand what's happening in Nigeria, I don't know much about Politics but if splitting Nigeria is the way forward, please let's do because. The labour of our heroes past are already in VAIN...The prime minister of the country I live in at the moment is a 38 year old lady....not even married yet.

I miss Nigeria, if I'm to make a video myself, I will lament and sounds frustrated. This is not because of my situation here. But because I av seen how life is meant to be, real government...and how much damage has been done to Nigeria...The distance between the rich and poor in Nigeria is unimaginable.....here as an ordinary hustler, I can afford to eat,play and attend events with the rich...this will never happen in Nigeria....I eat the same bread and drink the same milk as the rich here.

I av never seen any police holding a gun publicly or military oppressing or abusing ordinary citizens....life is valued

I support this guy...I have no doubt he will do 10x better in the US as a security than a movie producer in Nigeria...and even apart from money, nothing can be compare with the quality of life u get from living in a sane community where life is valued more than diamonds.

Once u leave Nigeria, u will know life is not all about money....If that guy die today, the kids have a secured future, they are safe...

Im not in the US but Working as ordinary site labourer here, u will get an average of $45k after tax and u will even get more once u have more experience.... that's 12M in Naija...even if u are cursed u will save 3M naira plus a secured future,good retirement plan and good quality of life....the community works with u and support u rather than competing with u as they do in Nigeria.

You are in New Zealand

Reading all these comments from people trying to c9nvince themselves that Nigeria is the best thing after slice bread is just pathetic

I don't live in America but i can give you guys some perspective using Australia. A security guard in Australia earns 35 dollars an hour (base no weekend rates included) at 36 hours per week

That is 5040 a month assume tax of 1000, rent at 1700, feeding and running cost at 1700 (over exaggerating) , he takes home $1600 per month.



Of course, no one lives in a 1700 apartment by themselves, if you are single you share the bill with a friend. If you are married you share with your partner

Lastly to give you more perspective, an engineer with 3 years experience in Australia earns about 70k per annum, a security guard earns about 60k per annum.

Hence why everyone can afford a new car, phones, laptops etc. How many Nigerians in 160million can afford to buy ordinary iPhone?

Go figure...

Back in the day when smart people roamed the religion section.

KingEbukaNaija:
Atheists are very dangerous people - suicidal thoughts , murderous tendencies , and they assent to bestiality and incestuous relationships

Your reasoning is still infantile

Joagbaje:
I’m vindicated at last! I will check the mail now.

So you believe this with zero proof? No wonder you are a Christian

nairaman006:
Also black hating. Same one.

This is where I question your ability to reason. They are a lot of incredibly racist American Christians in the south of America.

Does that mean all Christians are racist?

musicwriter:
It's you that's not taking responsibility, you don't even know what's at stake. Indeed,I want us to take control of our destiny in it's entirety. If I was the only African I will control white people and no African would have to travel outside of Africa.

You will control Africans.... i see.

IHate9jerianss:
LOL!!...Just look at the comments on this thread...
Nigerians are some of the most self
-loathing muthafuckas I've ever seen

Do you think Nigeria is not a sh1thole?

musicwriter:
The west has structured the world's system of things that way. As long as they gave us the education to acquire so called knowledge, for so long are we going to continue serving them.

Its for the same reason we have crude oil, but import petrol.
The same reason we have football stars and they always end us abroad.
The same reason we have have schools, but always end up abroad to upgrade our certification.
e.t.c.

That's the evolution of slavery. Things are deliberately set up to work that way and there's nothing anybody can do about it, until we change what we call education.

Typical African.... always playing the victim card and never taking responsibility for anything.

Until the day Nigerians decide to build a sustainable future for the youth,killing people like Wanny will noy make anyone safer.

I can go on and list notorious kingpins who have been publicly killed and yet crime still reigns in Nigeria. Poverty and lack of social mobility is the root cause of all this.

Offering 640 million naira bounty on criminals is stipidity. Invest in schools, industries, infrastructure and crime will reduce significantly

bantudra:
its a dangerous game...

people are quick to condem buhari but forget that the vp is working for buhari...

it will create unnessecery tension and jeolousy....

the vp has already distance himsef from that game....smart guy...

Both the president and the vp, were voted in by Nigerians. Both are working for Nigerians.

Again the problem is not just per say providing a functional fire service to towns and cities, it is about revaluating incidents like these and use them to inform future policies to prevent fires from occurring in the first place.

Our legislators have no clue of fire safety and all

We have been borrowing since time immemorial yet we have nothing to show for it. Buhari has been in power for almost 2 years no single positive outlook

shoopsy:
Thanks for the wonderful answer. However, I have an agent who told me to apply for PR too via skilled migration but the issue is the work experience part. I applied for several interviews within a period of 2 years but no luck. If I'm to choose these skilled migration thing.. What is the clear cut fundamental thing I need to do or have . To be honest, its not like I have so much money to waste for masters but I don't want to start the skilled thing for months or even almost one and half years and end up being rejected.. It will be devastating oooo.. Kindly shed more light.

Thankss.

A Bachelors degree and a masters degree have the same points which 15

Based on this estimate, Bayelsa has been collecting the highest allocation per local govt close to N1Billion every month. The state should be the richest and the most developed state in the country, this is not mentioning the separate LGA allocation.

However, despite all these, the state is still owing workers and lecturers up to 6months salary. A state being ruled by PDP since inception. My brothers from the south should ask their leaders what they have been doing exactly with all the money allocated to them, it's their collective wealth being squandered by some useless corrupt politicians.

But the way nature will have it, they won't, due to their ethnic bigotry.....

[size=22pt]N1Billion/LGA every 4weeks[/size]......

So do you agree that PDP and APC are mere ethnic constructs rather real political parties?

KingEbukasBlog:
They still live better lives than you

North Korea has been with atheism since 1948 yet their economy is moribund , the citizens are being brainwashed , the people live in insularity , their leaders are venal and the crime rate is unreasonably high . People get capriciously executed and religious ones are being used to test new military equipment .

Christian countries - Norway , Switzerland , Denmark - are the wealthiest and most progressive in the world . Russia left atheism and started flourishing . Christians own 55 percent of the global wealth while the rest of the adherents of numerous religions including the atheists , irreligious and the agnostics are left with 45 percent

You atheists excoriate Islamic countries for being backward while atheist countries do worse just to constrain their citizens to adhere to atheistic ideologies . Atheism is backwardness , atheism is mental slavery !


Say no to atheism !

Still peddling the fallacy that Norway is a Christian country? North Korea is where it is because of communism which has proven to be a catastrophic failure economically, socially and otherwise. By the way North Korea is by miles more advanced than Nigeria, so stop peddling Western narratives you get from CNN use other news sources like CCTV or RT.

Let's not derail the thread, what is the purpose of night vigils because as people in Nigeria pray at night, we in Australia go about our daily business cos of time difference.

Article authored by pastor Alin Patularu.





I used to identify as an atheist when I was a teenager, but I didn’t really know why. I had never thought through the implications of what it meant to be an atheist and just assumed I was one because my favorite bands identified with Godlessness.

Need I say more? The Pastor was an atheist because it was cool there was no logical reason behind his worldview and therefore I am not surprised that he became a christian. In the end, as long as he is happy with finding Christ, I wish him well but some of us have better reasons to disregard religion especially Christianity.

Exodus 24:9-11King James Version (KJV)

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

johnydon22:
WTF do you guys mean that gravity is not physical.. I want to know that means?

Gravity is a physical value for goodness sake.. Jeez!!!

If you were careful enough, you would have noticed the question mark in parentheses beside the phrase. Indicating I that know that because something is not seen does not mean it is not physical.

I also know that gravity is a physical phenomenon. So take easy on the criticism

winner01:

Nawa oo

1. I dont serve a jew god.

2. You are definately confusing morality with ethics and values.

Why was slavery acceptable in biblical isreal but condemned generally by all today,including Atheists, Jews and Christians?

Morality evolves

shadeyinka:
I submit that Atheists believe more in science than God. The ratio of faith between God and Science varies though.... that's why there agnostic Atheists. This make all Athiests people of Faith like the Theists.


All Atheists have two gods
IGNORANCE and SCIENCE

Unfortunately, for Atheists to explain away God, they have to break the fundermental rule/ laws of Physics.



Can you pls answer the questions above?

So since we don't have answers to those questions, then God did it? Which God by the way, Allah, Amadioha, Sango, Shiva, Yahweh, Zeus?

Where was God(s) before he came into existence because theists always like to point out that something cannot come from nothing. Oh I forgot there's a special pleading for all the Gods men have worshipped over a millennia

winner01:
Stop laughing at yourself.
Gravity is not physical or material, but it acts on the physical.

The fact that you dont believe in gravity will not stop you from falling under the force of gravity.

There are consequences for what we believe, even though you wish such consequences away.

Gravity may be not be physical (?) but it is a consistent force that can actually be measured. It even has its own unit of measurement. It can be objectively observed by anyone, anywhere.

Just like magnetism, gravity and other forces can be independently observed by many people and they will come up with answers very close to each other.

Same cannot be said about God and Gods

shadeyinka:
My dear OP
I have not misrepresented you.

(1). noun (plural atheisms)
(narrowly) Belief that no deities exist (sometimes, excluding other religious beliefs).
(broadly) Rejection of belief that any deities exist (with or without a belief that no deities exist).
(very broadly) Absence of belief that any deities exist (including absence of the concept of deities).
(loosely) Absence of belief in a particular deity, pantheon, or religious doctrine (notwithstanding belief in other deities).

(2 & 3). My aim is not to validate the Bible, Quran or any other spiritual book.
My aim is to expose the fallacy of thinning that everything there is is Physical.

Come to think of it. How will you describe a computer program to an intelligent computer who think that everything about it is the KBD, VDU, MOUSE and Plug.

The software of Physical Existence is the Spiritual.

(4&5.). Religion! I have not implied any religion. For you, you are not ready for that because the fundermental to any form of religion you may have chosen is zero.
Religion is what men do to "Please" their god.

I am not advocating RELIGION. I am advocating GOD!



Thanks for the Title. I appreciate it.
Am I worse than winner01 and KingEbukaNaija who according to you are the greatest source of misinformation on Nairaland? LOL!

Answer my questions if you can




I know of two reality of existence, you know of just one. Therefore, I can speak of the Spiritual (demons) and the Physical(science). Don't bring me down into you limitation.

Even though software is not physical, it can be verified. There are people with a special set of skills called software testers.

Now you talk about demons, but they have not been verified. Most events attributed to demons are either random events or downright fabrications that fail under close scrutiny.

Furthermore, most monotheistic religions claim their God is the ultimate. Let us not forget that these Gods have very different personalities. Allah for example is very different from Yahweh. They all cannot be right.it is either one is right or they are all wrong.

The final problem with religion is that it makes extra ordinary claims that have NEVER been substantiated

Meme #4: The point is that society does not define morality. Fullstop.



Meme #5: People can be good, thats true. But they must have learnt the idea of good or bad from somewhere: It could be from the ever changing society, religion, family e.t.c
Point is most atheists still hold on to the morals they learnt from christianity.

If the society does not define morality, why was slavery normal and even approved in the bible but now universally condemned?

sinkhole:
Please when people take pictures like this they should do so as to capture the details to include plate number and clear side inscriptions that will capture the unit locations!

It is not about the unit, it is about demonstrating the gaping lack of integrity and disregard for Nigerian laws that has become common in FRSC as an organisation.

KingEbukaNaija:
Ok . So do you approve of bestiality ?

I (personal preference) do not find animals attractive and find it very off-putting to even think about humans sleeping with animals, however if a human decides to indulge in it within their legal rights, I say let them be.

Reason I find this off-putting is because for me sex is communicative which is why I don't enjoy casual sex or paid sex . I personally prefer sex in a loving communicative relationship and an animal cannot provide it.


Again my approval or disapproval is inconsequential, i can only provide a personal opinion.

KingEbukaNaija:
I know , so which is it ? Your approval or disapproval ? That's all I want to know and your reason .

What my daughter or son does as an adult is solely their responsibility and therefore my approval or disapproval is inconsequential. That is one of the basic tenets of liberalism and not even atheism, because atheism has no principles, or political view. Atheism is just a disbelief in gods
