johnydon22:
Its totally obvious... This is just childish

Wilgrea7:
ok... thanks for your reply

Wilgrea7:
not every Christian is the same.... the whole lazy prayer attitude was not even supported in the bible... mainstream Christianity is a hell lot different from Christianity during the time of Paul... but that's another subject... let's face the thread

why are prayers answered in different religions?
what force is responsible...
I'm not talking of the lord-help-me-find-my car-key prayers... I'm talking of prayers that bring extraordinary results we term miracles..... or prayers whose results can't be attributed to coincidence

Wilgrea7:
i don't condone praying without working.... i don't look at God as a magician ready to abacadabra anything for you while you sit your ass down... that's why they say heaven helps those who help themselves

Anas09:
Leave me to my Jesus, just like i have left you to your demons. Mind your bizness.
And, Yes, go ahead. And, when you are done, also point out if the supposed insults are not warranted.

This article, though lengthy, is an insightful one. The writer made a number of salient points. And like the writer, I believe if we are well-educated about the history of Nigeria and her Peoples, it will have a huge impact progressively on the development of this nation.

However, I don't subscribe to the notion that the concept of belief in the power and existence of God (religion), is a mere tool for the expansionism and hegemony plans of the British colonial masters and the Arabs. IMO, religion is not among the root causes of underdevelopment in Nigeria. It is religious extremism, fanaticism, and most importantly, illiteracy that have long served as major cogs in the wheel of progress of this country.

I said this because even before the Europeans and Arabs brought Christianity and Islam to Nigeria, our forefathers had always believed in the existence of a Supreme Being. There are various names used to describe God in Nigerian languages and cultures: Olohun in Yoruba; Chineke in IBO; Allah in Hausa and other related terms in minor ethnic groups.

Before the advent of Islam and Christianity, it is common knowledge that our forefathers used to worship God through smaller gods such as Sango, Ogun, Amadioha, etc. So religion (paganism) has long been practised in the land area now called Nigeria, even during the so-called prosperous pre-colonial era, before the white men and the Arabs brought Christianity and Islam respectively.

Owing to this fact, I make bold to say one of the root causes of underdevelopment in Nigeria is the fact that majority of Nigerians don't read. For instance, most people on this forum will not read these long articles you just shared. When we find it difficult to read as a People, we will forever remain ignorant of our history. And that, IMO, is the major problem whose symptoms and signs are corruption, social ills, underdevelopment.

Hahahahaha. I love that. *Such is life*. Its not your fault to be born an Ekweme. Who is dalaman or hahn? Nameless tarts.

Anas09:
I curse you before? Weytin i talk? In whose name.did i curse u?

Immorttal:
it is apparent that the Christian God detest idol worshippers, there are numerous bible verses that solidy my assertions infact the Lord turned his back on King Solomon when he started worshiping other gods. The Christian God subsequently divided his kingdom as a punishment for that offence. No way that god can answer the prayer of "idol worshippers".

Wilgrea7:
what makes you feel the Christian God won't answer the prayers of people from other religions?? there are bible verses which talk about the mercy of the Christian God to all... both good and bad.... from your stance, you seem to take the Christian God as not the supreme God... whilst the Christians and Muslims alike take their Gods as the supreme God.

.. i find your arguments interesting... please do well to mention me in the part two
thanks

A liar is not yet a Christian and a Christian is not a liar.

Mercedes Benz _ I read it somewhere or I was told (can't remember which ) , long-time ago that it was named after the daughter of Karl Benz.

I would name my daughter Mercedes, the name has been ministering to me.

4evergod3:
I doubt if this is afonja**** . This person knows each and every one of us and is abreast with a lot. Afonja**** as you observed is more into politics. This one would also likely be an afonja impersonator as well as others.
