I hope to leave again for a masters degree soon though wasn't able to do it this year unfortunately And then try and get permanent residency immediately. This Nigeria na nonsense place But I'm considering Canada. It's densely populated and it's so large. Even in large cities like Toronto and Vancouver there are a lot of property waiting to be occupied
Before you, as a muslim, offers any form of opinion to an atheist you should first come to a conclusion with Christians and the other 4,000 numerous religions on which god is the true god and if it has a son or not
And after I shared the picture someone commented "And you have to tell the world, why?"
Which got me thinking, do we need to share our charitable works on social media?
Here are two comments from the original post:
Against: And then i took pictures and posted it to Facebook so everyone can feed my ego by telling me what an awesome guy i am . It amazes me how humans love telling the world about all the great charitable work they are doing anonymously.
To which someone replied
For: or acting as a catalyst for other people to do similar things. Humans have herd mentality. Some people, instead of complaining about this kid will go out and do something nice. not all people clearly...but some.
I have noticed these mixed reactions severally whenever someone does good or donates to charity and posts it on social media.
So the question is, Should we post our charity and good deeds on social media?
Why OR why not?
PS: If you reside in PH you can listen to Elloy Johnny on rhythm 93.7 and contribute to the discussion too
CoolUsername: Exactly, in Judges chapter 6 when Gideon destroyed the altar of Baal and the Baal worshippers came to accost him. Gideon's father, Joash told them that Baal should be able to defend himself if he was truly God. From that point on, Gideon started bearing the name 'Jerubbaal'. Why can't Yahweh and Allah do the same in the real world?
WORLDPEACE: Lyrics don't have to be conscious to be good. The truth is that wizkid is lyrically kindergarten. It's obvious that he finds writing lyrics difficult, and he does not have to do it himself. Just get someone who can write on your team; do your freestyles and let him interpolate lyrics on them. It's very simple. He did not write his part of 'closer', it is evident. Why can't he just get someone who can on his team permanently? Big artistes do it. Rihanna can't write to save her life yet she's a respected artiste. The guy is just self destructing. I'm really disappointed in him. He's thrown away his chance to make a mark on the worldwide scene with a good album.
Lol
All I know is that I will never buy his album. Only few Nigerians know what they are doing. The others are only trying to escape poverty
D1official: ND if dis d kind of commandment we believe, why are ur likes still alive. It would hv bn my delight to take off ur head myself!!!. Bt thank God Dat he is love, ND in him there is no darkness at all!!!. So therefore kwontinu!!!!!!!!!.
Who knows? I probably would have become a Christian again and chopped your head off first
jonbellion: asin ehn Singing trash If you enjoy lyrics about hedonism and all that at least be good with the lyrics. Folks like the Weeknd and Travis Scott and concious rappers or singers or stuff like that but you see they put work in their songs and the lyrics and words are thought out. In 9ja just through a bunch of words together that sounds like it was written by a retard in 5 minutes and then voice it over a danceable beat and watch it die down after two three months. Rinse and repeat the process and you are considered a "talented artist" Smh
You cannot really blame our artists. How many Nigerians can appreciate a good song with conscious lyrics? How many Nigerians can compose a simple sentence?
I thought Christians do not quote from the old testament
Well, in the spirit of truth and fact here are some other verses in the bible that might interest you
1) Capital Punishment Crimes:
Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Kill Witches You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
Kill Homosexuals "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Kill Fortunetellers A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)
Death for Hitting Dad Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
Death for Cursing Parents 1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB) 2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
Death for Adultery If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)
Death for Fornication A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
Death to Followers of Other Religions Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)
Kill Nonbelievers They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
Kill False Prophets If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through. (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)
Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)
Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
Kill Followers of Other Religions. 1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden. When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death. (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)
Death for Blasphemy One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father got into a fight with one of the Israelite men. During the fight, this son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the LORD's name. So the man was brought to Moses for judgment. His mother's name was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. They put the man in custody until the LORD's will in the matter should become clear. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard him to lay their hands on his head. Then let the entire community stone him to death. Say to the people of Israel: Those who blaspheme God will suffer the consequences of their guilt and be punished. Anyone who blasphemes the LORD's name must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel. Any Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the LORD's name will surely die. (Leviticus 24:10-16 NLT)
Kill False Prophets 1) Suppose there are prophets among you, or those who have dreams about the future, and they promise you signs or miracles, and the predicted signs or miracles take place. If the prophets then say, 'Come, let us worship the gods of foreign nations,' do not listen to them. The LORD your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and soul. Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him. The false prophets or dreamers who try to lead you astray must be put to death, for they encourage rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery in the land of Egypt. Since they try to keep you from following the LORD your God, you must execute them to remove the evil from among you. (Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT)
2) But any prophet who claims to give a message from another god or who falsely claims to speak for me must die.' You may wonder, 'How will we know whether the prophecy is from the LORD or not?' If the prophet predicts something in the LORD's name and it does not happen, the LORD did not give the message. That prophet has spoken on his own and need not be feared. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22 NLT)
Infidels and Gays Should Die So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever. Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved. When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving. They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway. And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too. (Romans 1:24-32 NLT)
Kill Anyone who Approaches the Tabernacle For the LORD had said to Moses, 'Exempt the tribe of Levi from the census; do not include them when you count the rest of the Israelites. You must put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, along with its furnishings and equipment. They must carry the Tabernacle and its equipment as you travel, and they must care for it and camp around it. Whenever the Tabernacle is moved, the Levites will take it down and set it up again. Anyone else who goes too near the Tabernacle will be executed.' (Numbers 1:48-51 NLT)
Kill People for Working on the Sabbath The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: 'Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.' (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)
2) God's Murders for Stupid Reasons:
Kill Brats From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)
God Kills the Curious And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, he smote of the people seventy men, `and' fifty thousand men; and the people mourned, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter. And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us? (1Samuel 6:19-20 ASV)
Killed by a Lion Meanwhile, the LORD instructed one of the group of prophets to say to another man, "Strike me!" But the man refused to strike the prophet. Then the prophet told him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me." And sure enough, when he had gone, a lion attacked and killed him. (1 Kings 20:35-36 NLT)
Killing the Good Samaritan The ark of God was placed on a new cart and taken away from the house of Abinadab on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab guided the cart, with Ahio walking before it, while David and all the Israelites made merry before the Lord with all their strength, with singing and with citharas, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals. When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzzah reached out his hand to the ark of God to steady it, for the oxen were making it tip. But the Lord was angry with Uzzah; God struck him on that spot, and he died there before God. (2 Samuel 6:3-7 NAB)
3) Murdering Children
Kill Sons of Sinners Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)
God Will Kill Children The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived. Even if your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone. I have watched Israel become as beautiful and pleasant as Tyre. But now Israel will bring out her children to be slaughtered." O LORD, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don't give birth and breasts that give no milk. The LORD says, "All their wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels. The people of Israel are stricken. Their roots are dried up; they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children." (Hosea 9:11-16 NLT)
AnonyNymous: Thank you so much for your response. I think this is a really great idea but I have some concerns. My area of expertise is quite narrow.
Then you have to widen it. Read more, learn something new
I'm a civil engineering undergraduate so I obviously have learned much more but I'm only confident enough to teach/write a textbook on O'level Math and Physics. Won't it affect me? As in how narrow the scope of the website is?
Start with what you have. With time you will be able to add more. You can create tutorials and people can pay to subscribe and watch videos on different topics. You can break down the lecture into 30 - 60 days and clients will have to log in daily to learn something new. You can even add your own tests to know how your students are fairing.
Once I make time to begin building the website/blog, (I have to do it myself because I'm short on funds) I'd like to show it to you to review.
You can add me on whatsapp @ +234-8092960741. I will be glad to help you out with each step and share my own knowledge with you. We can also share ideas etc. I love helping younger people out however I can.
Also, could you make an estimate of how long I have to spend before I actually start to see anything reasonable coming out from it? A major concern I have is that there are just soooo many learning websites like that. Its almost like the market is saturated.
Well, I cannot give an estimated time but you have to ask yourself "can I do this without getting paid?" If your answer is yes then your passion will push you and your business to success. Concentrate on building something sustainable. Profits will come. Trust me
The fact that you have competition is actually a plus. Study your competition. Learn what they do and what they are not doing. Read reviews and read their customers complaints. Whatever their customers complain about might be what you need to add to your business to get those clients.
Focus on reaching your own customer base. If you can have 100 subscribers and you earn N1,000 monthly from each of them that is N100,000 income. As long as your services are legit and well packaged you will have returning customers and referrals.
It is really all about consistency, persistence and passion.
Anything is achievable. You just have to be confident that you can achieve it
@ AnonyNymous, you should think outside the box and a little bit bigger
Instead of just registering on freelance websites that already have so much competition you have to work against, build your own website for your writing and create packages and plans that clients can subscribe to and promote your site via seo, paid ads, fb groups etc
If you cannot afford to hire someone to build a site for you, learn how to build it yourself. Wordpress has made web building easy for beginners.
If you cannot afford to build a site, start with a blog. It is free
Hope this helps. You can always ask further questions if you have any

Hypocrisy is when you left your family abroad and beating the drums of war in Nigeria and goats and baboons joins you.
