God communicates by remaining invincible

It doesn't have enough manners to say "you are welcome" when you thank it for something you think it did.

It communicates through pastorpreneurs and imams who charge 10% it's gullible followers' salaries for it's service.

It communicates by NOT existing

The relationship anyone has with any god is definitely personal. Since it, "God", only exists in the imagination of the one who believes in it and not in reality.

God must be really petty and jobless to judge someone based on the kind of music they listen to.

Little wonder it is always begging for money on Sundays

MrPresident1:
Which one?

That one

Just one question, what did you smoke the day you wrote that thread

KingEbukasBlog:
There are billions of reasons to pray

1. Praying means showing faith . Without faith you can't please God .

2. Praying develops your relationship with God

3. Praying helps you know God's will

4. Prayer prepares you for spiritual battles .

5. Prayer is an act of obedience to God

Etc

If you realize , praying is for our own good . God being all knowing does not reduce the efficacy of prayer . God commands us to pray , he knows why we should pray . So giving petty objections like these ones are doing just does not make any sense to me .

Your delusion will come to an abrupt end when you finally, I doubt it though, realize that when you pray you are only talking to yourself.

So, are you writing from heaven? What ever happened to your LAST end time prediction?



Shame no catch you and kingebukasblog

You must have missed where I wrote other African countries too

xdos:
Who told you that rubbish? Do you know what Ghana power peak demand is and their installed capacity? Do yu know what naija power peak demand is and installed capacity?
Inflation is much higher in Ghana than in Nigeria. Please get your facts right Sir.

Please read my comment again. I know I have other African countries written boldly there

jornie:
Our health care system is NOT in shambles, stop spreading lies,stop depressing your self...we might not have them in large numbers but we have good quality healthcare systems....i'm willing to answer any questions?

Can the average Nigerian dial any emergency number and have an ambulance arrive within five minutes?

Do we still use torch lights to carry out operations?

Are the available good quality health care services affordable to the average Nigerian?

Has the child mortality rate, at birth, reduced?

The oil industry have witnessed some attempts of improvements lately, that's why we've had problems.... You know presently,atleast three of our refineries are up right?

Yeah but the effects still cannot be felt. Have you felt it?

Nigeria no longer imports toothpicks and many items we produce locally, importation of such products have being banned.
http://www.newsheadlines.com.ng/latest-business/2015/08/12/list-of-40-imported-items-cbn-ban-from-forex/

That they have been banned doesn't mean no one import them. Ok then, name one company that produces toothpicks in Nigeria.

Thank you

We have slightly differing views.

The modern Christian has interpreted that bit of scripture to mean that they shouldnt speak up when they see thier fellow human beings doing wrong. U hear them fearfully voicing out "touch not my annointed" even though they know for sure the pastor has been sleeping around for example. Or they fall into myndful's erroneous belief that only the 'pure'can judge.

They have forgotten that if they keep quiet in the face of evil they are indirectly supporting it and in fact encouraging it to thrive.

@bolded 3rd paragraph. Very correct.

Long time bro.

Don't long time me. You no sabi ask of person

The modern Christian has interpreted that bit of scripture to mean that they shouldnt speak up when they see thier fellow human beings doing wrong

They also interpret that bit of the scripture to mean that people should speak up against them also. I scratch your back and you scratch my back.

RichDad1:
I concur and share the same view with everything you raised here cos they are the undiluted truth.
But someone saying Ghana is better than Nigeria in terms of governance or something else is what I strongly frown at. They've got their own challenges too. They are not and can never be better than Nigeria.
That we are at a point where we need to do things differently to achieve a positive result does not mean we are losing it. It's just phase that will soon pass.

I agree with you. When a Nigerian says "Ghana is better", it would help if we actually aspire to become like/even better than our notion of how good Ghana or any other country is for that matter. Unfortunately, when most people say this the next thing that comes to mind is how to travel to those countries instead of thinking of how to contribute to the development of our country.

Our sense of nationalism, if it ever existed, is dead.

And religion dooesn't help because it teaches us to work hard to get the reward of an imaginary "paradise", instead of working towards making THIS world which is actually guaranteed and real a better place for all living things.

5minsmadness:
How else do you correct people if you don't judge them? What's all this 'I don't judge, nobody should judge'?
How else will we as individuals provide a moral compass for what is right and acceptable if we don't judge, condemn and put to shame those that are and do wrong?


Silence means consent.

Evil thrives when good people do/say nothing!

The concept of the "thou shalt not judge" quote in the bible is simply to restrict people from criticizing and telling us the truth. It is an act of hypocrisy and most people who say this are fond of gossiping about other people's affairs. These same people will "judge" a petty theif and lynch the thief in the same breath as when they say "only god can judge me"

But then, what does it really mean to "judge" someoone. From my simple perspective, a citizen can/should only be judged at the court of law after being charged if convicted after being accused of a crime within the jurisdiction of the law. Nigerians however, also practise jungle justice.

Often, what most people regard as "judgement" is nothing but mere criticism or in some cases, the plain old obvious truth about a person. The "only god can judge me" line is simply an act to avoid being criticized or told the truth about ourselves.

RichDad1:
There's no African country as populous as Nigeria. In fact, we are the most populous black Nation in the world.
You can't compare a country that' has a population lesser than a state in Nigeria with ours in terms of organisation.
Fine, America is 300+ million people and they more organized, but aside maybe Egypt and Ethiopia, there's no African country as old as the USA and none is as advanced as them. So no comparisons.

Is this justification of the state Nigeria is in presently? I doubt if the American government have ever SPENT the kind of money our leaders have LOOTED since 1960.

Do you know how much has been spent of power generation in Nigeria over the past 50 years and still we are unable to produce 50,000MW of power?

Do you know how much has been budgeted for road construction and still we have morore bad roads than good ones?

Our healthcare system is in shambles, we have crude oil but import petrol products. We have bamboo but import toothpicks. We have fertile land but import food. Tomatoes!

It is apparent our problems do not lie in the fact that we are a populated nation. Neither does your argument hold any water because the US might have been practising democracy sine their independence but we have all been existing since the beginning of mankind. It is the same amount of time used by developed countries to get to where they are that we have always had.

Obviously, the issue here is our inability to conserve our time

[quote author=onatisi post=46040181]you are a very intelligent and observant person. Right from the border or even the airport, any body will see the disorganized setup of things in Nigeria, Nigerians still see 24 hr power supply as development ,while 99% of world countries see it as a normal necessity for daily human living. Good roads are no longer celebrated or even announced as Nigerians do .the truth is Nigeria still have a long way to go[/quote

That was how a friend of mine traveled to Nigeria from the UK only for the plane to get to MMA and there was no electricity on the run way. He told me he felt like took off in heaven and landed in hell

RichDad1:
Scratch that. We might not be getting somethings right, but Nigeria is way ahead of Ghana in all ways.
Ghana bi bawo?
So many Ghanaians will gladly trade their citizenship to be a Nigerian. #fact

People Should forget all those "Ghana get 24hrs power supply" crap.
Or is it because some people out of their "I want to school abroad syndrome" start trooping into Ghana now makes Ghana better? It's same way they move to Benin republic and other" low level countries" just to satisfy their low esteem ego.

I'm a #Nigerian and proud of it.

The 24 hour electricity is enough for most Nigerians to argue that other African countries are better than us. They have better health care and inflation is not as prevalent as Nigeria. In fact, whenever I come into Nigeria from any other country the difference is always clear from the border. It is obvious we are still very much confused on how to organize ourselves

All soakaway will face same fate so long it is sited on soil.

Three factor determines how long a soakaway last.

*Nature of land its sited( clay soil preferably)

*the size of soakaway

*and the amount of water the soakaway have to deal with.

Note; the last factor has the greatest effect, especially the water chamber, cos the chamber for faeces don't have much problem due to less water it recieves.
If you notice, the chamber for faeces is plastered while that of water is left unplastered in other to aide absorption.
[/size]

Hmm. Really enlightening. Thanks.

Will parking a vehicle on the top of the soakaway affect it? My neighbour is pretty touchy whenever someone parks his car on it but the problem is that everyone have their space.

Plus, he parks his car on his own soakaway

Where I live is none of your business, neither do I need to prove anything to an online entity.

Its overt that your problem is not being a landlord. If you have your personal house and have to spend 50 to 60k in discharging sewage in 2 to
3 months interval, you will stop being crass and reason with your landlord.

Nobody is saying you shouldn't wash dishes in the kitchen, or cloth in your toilet, but it is not apt to release plenty water into the soakaway.

Even it doesn't fill quick. There's log time effect of logging, and when this happens. Be prepared to discharge the soakaway every 2 to 3 week, cos the land will no longer be fit to absorb water. What happens if your landlord don't have enough land space to site another soakaway?

Reason like a house owner and stop being crass.
[/size]

Is there a way to build the soakaway so that it doesn't develop that problem in the long term?

I see nothing wrong or out of place with her advice.

I live in a flat with my own kitchen and toilet and you see nothing wrong with my wife having to wash and then take it outside to the gutter? You go know people wey dey live for face me I face you by their comments

sixtus3606:
mhen! we are in the same boat oooo


I just bought a new generator and since I bought it, I have positioned it in more than five places just because my landlady.

even the extortion na die!

I am freaking tired! I plan to leave by mid-next year.

Dem no get joy. Na me send them make dem broke? The next place I am getting, the landlord MUST NOT live there

NEVER RENT AN APARTMENT WHERE THE LANDLORD ALSO RESIDES LIVES IN.

I have made that mistake and I know what I go through. If you fuel your gen and the landlord doesn't have fuel. Wahala

If you go shopping. Wahala.

That was how my landlord was advising me to tell my wife to pour dirty water OUTSIDE in the gutter after washing clothes so she won't fill up the soak-away. Silly Arrow olodo

I was raised from the dead. Just yesterday, Damaris Amarachi Grant-James, was raised from the dead. Just yesterday, 25thMay 2016.

What is your proof that you rose from death and who exactly is Damaris Amarachi Grant-James?

Well, they don't know her there. I believe she once met Steven Spielberg and he didn't know her either. Big deal.

Besides, Americans don't support the kind of mediocrity Nigerians support in "Nollywood". What do you expect when we imitate everything and never create ours.
