This god thing still dey sweet you for body. Seems you can't get rid of such idea.

I can't o. Lol

menesheh:
What you are saying is that both of us can invent more secular god that is benevolent and non-contradictory to represent modern sort of god.

I'm in

If christians can't agree with each other how do they expect other people to believe their bs?

Religion confusing Africans since god first wanked

Am i d only 1 who sees diz drift board tin as a juvenile ish??

No be only you ooo. I'm looking forward to the hover board though. THAT will be dope

Dekatron:
Chai!! LWKM!!


Omo mehn!! This is dope. . . . As in dope.

I read that Mecury & Venus are badass rich kids. They have these minerals that we are fighting over for. Perhaps Arabs won't have a share in it if we could explore it. Dubai will look like a joke to Ibadan. Lol & even our politicians will accept Jesus cos money go yapa.


Guys, if we could have metals (Nano made. God knows I wll research into Nanotech if I were a billionaire). If we had such metals, shey we no fit just use am explore ni? Or am I missing something??


Cc: johnydon22, teempakguy, robinhez, hahn, pr0ton, queed, e'ry I can't remember to type

Nigeria has lots of minerals we are yet to tap into. Even if we could increase production and distribution/exportation of our agro products Dubai will still not be as beautiful as Dubai.

If Nigeria even has Nano metals, you can be rest assured no one will know until the oyel dries up

This is serious. This is liberating. But will the people read this? They're busy arguing who's the better between Messi and Ronaldo.

I'll respond better when I'm less busy. Thanks for your wisdom . Hahn, thanks for bringing me here. This is my habitat. LOL!

Don't mention.

It's really a great feeling to mingle and rub minds with people of like thought and an even greater knowledge base. It's discussions like these that give me the hope that Nigeria has what it takes to rise to greatness.

Eventually, excellence will overcome mediocrity and ill be proud to say "I was one of them!"

Teempakguy:
one thing people fail to realize is that the government is actually the people. We live in a democracy. The government is part of us. Yet we treat them like the people who are supposed to make a difference for us. They are us. As an average Nigerian youth what is most important to him, he will answer that it's money, and that he will soon get it. Ask him the same question 20 years later and you are most likely to receive that same answer. Now, imagine if this person, becomes the president. Everyone will actually be expecting him to do something. But he can't. He's never actually thought of anyone else but himself. You can't expect him to change overnight. He has a consumer paradigm. He won't change that just because he is president.

Whatever the people do, the goverment will do it hundred fold. An average American spends his free time thinking of how to make sure his area the most badass around. Check out the government. An average Chinese likes making stuff. Check out the government. An average Nigerian is homophobic. Check_out_the _government. Fourteen years in jail.

Until I can be able to call an average Nigerian youth ask him what is most important to him, and he answers something like, "that street over there receives 20 hours of electricity per day, our street receives 18. I want to change that."
Or,
"My mum sells pounded yam for a living, i feel bad because she has too pound yam every morning, I want to make a simple device to help her pound the yam automatically."
Or even a simple
"People are suffering. I want to help them. I want to be remembered for this."

I will totally keep laughing at anti corruption agendas and rehabilitation schemes.

This is EXACTLY the problem. Our values and beliefs are what breed our citizens and turn them into the kind of leaders they are.

The youths are in quite a dilenma as we are faced with poor infrastructure, lack of quality education(even the internet needs funds to access and it's very expensive) and so on. I have always believed that the multitude of problems we face in this country actually offers us great opportunities because it is a common law that "whoever finds a solution to a great problem becomes great".

We are staring at huge tons of wealth and opportunities for greatness disguised as "problems" that I honestly feel ashamed that I am not yet a billionaire. I'm working on it though

dearpreye:
The people are the problem. The indisciplined and corrupt government came from the same lots on the streets. I've stopped blaming government for my woes for years. And I'm happier and more responsible for it.

Exactly. We need this sort of sense of responsibility replicated nationwide by every citizen. Whenever a problem arises don't ask god "why?", don't blame the devil, don't blame the government, don't blame your parents, don't blame your ancestors, blame YOURSELF!

Taking blame sparks a sense of responsibility which in turn opens the mind in search of solutions to the problem. The more solutions, in people, rise up there will definitely be a reduction in our problems.

johnydon22:
Exactly bro, we keep deceiving ourselves by laying the blames on the government...

A Nigerian would complain and blame the government that the environment is at the same time is the person throwing dirt on the ground instead of a waste bin... Can someone deceive themselves anymore than that?

Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop stealing my line

I've repeated the "A Nigerian would complain and blame the government that the environment is at the same time is the person throwing dirt on the ground instead of a waste bin... Can someone deceive themselves anymore than that?" phrase so much on nl that it's getting tiring.

Teempakguy:
I don't think ishilove is a mod anymore.

However, lala is, I think a political science student. They tend to think the solution to any country's problems can be solved by the government. A rather hasty generalization, I know. But it seems to apply here. The guy literally cannot stop himself from putting crime and political topics on the frontpage.

Einstein, I think, discovered that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. We've been insulting and blaming the government for decades. Nothing has changed. This clearly implies that the government is NOT the solution. And I stand by that statement. The solution is every other thing EXCEPT the government. Other things which, by the way, we haven't tried. Why? Because we're still waiting for the government.

I think, that a route to the solution lies in imbibing scientific culture. Most people don't understand what I'm talking about. For a few examples of scientific culture, I recommend quora.com science sections, cracked.com science sections, wired.com, and you will literally be shocked at how ridiculously primitive we are. The ease at which they swim in scientific oceans is mind blowing.

Minutephysics, veritasium, vsauce3, physicsgirl, just a few scientific channels on YouTube that are highly successful and mainstream.
Being exposed to this kind of culture will naturally influence every single person to contribute their own quota. Instead of the consumer and parastic culture we live in.
Some people even started building cars and some irreedemable crack heads decided they wouldn't patronize them because they were from a different tribe. They would rather patronize those that are from a different continent. what a joke.

It's readily obvious that the government in such an environment will actually trying to keep up with it's citizens. Unlike here where reverse is the case.

Oga johnydon22, sorry for using your thread to preach oh, no vex.
I just felt like letting off some steam.

Your analysis is spot on and I totally agree tha the government is obviously not the problem, it's the people.

menesheh:
I really enjoyed watching the action movie.

That must be the naija sequel to fight club

The boy will be well paid

I hope

Nice post Johnnydon22.

Nigerians are still busy fighting each other over tribalistic and religious issues. We know so little of our own history it would be seen as ridiculous to even bother about other planets.

And before anyone comes here and claims their god is responsible for these beauties, kindly state the verse where other planets were mentioned in your holy book

Application of the scientific process in everyday life is also essential and critical in national development. We have to learn to judge or make decisions without sentiments and learn with an open mind because every human idea or concept is subject to scrutiny, improvement or discardment

AllNaijaBlogger:


Please, let's leave the "support buddy system" in the romance section.

I was joking and Johnydon22 misunderstood me. I was not "arguing" per se.

I wonder how you can just blatantly label me and other theists as "unable to learn".

Didn't mean to generalise but so far this has been the norm both here on nl and offline. Debating with a theist always seem like prepping for a battle. All arguments and no discussion

johnydon22:
Hahahahahahahaha this is funny..... oh you thought this was ana argument? #Sigh and i even thought i was having a reasonable discussion.

Don't tell me you aren't aware that theists generally argue and are incapable of having a discussion. This is one of the major reasons why they are an unable to learn because they are only interested in proving a point and not learning

MrPresident:
I always tell friends, play along and get what you want. follow her to church if need be, make her your wife first, then make her come back to her senses.
the priest that wedded me is still my friend till date.
think as as you like but behave normal with others.

Law of power.

Same thing over here

In the mean time, they are reinvesting the money into their economy and making huge profits. Naija is asleep

Ishilove:
Mr Man, if you know what is good for you, reduce your association with atheists and for God's sakes, stop all the ungodly and profitless arguments that do not edify either you or Christ. Evil companionship corrupts good manners. How can you allow unbelievers sway you, a child of God? Don't you know all power have been given unto you?

There is a God, there is heaven, and there is hell. Anyone who can sit down and say they don't exist is lost and only the mercy of God will open their eyes. However, God said "I will show mercy to whom I may show mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I may have compassion- Rom 9:15.

For God's sakes, you are on the road to perdition is you don't immediately cut off your association with your atheist friends and ask God for mercy and forgiveness.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.- Prov 14:12 (KJV)

If god is self evident, then why would association with atheists be a threat to his belief in god?

buggaboo:
I don't think you even believe what you wrote up there.
Self existent energy? Really?

So it suddenly decided to burst forth?

Look, I am not here to argue against evolution or the big bang(thats for another day), but to suggest that time started itself is just silly.

Something or someone who doesnt obey the laws of the universe, designed the universe.

@bolded

That's like trying to prove Hitler invented the church

plaetton:
Milady,
Is there anything I can say or do to convince you or influence you to abandon your belief in the existence of the Sun?

If god is self evident, then why would association with atheists be a threat to his belief in god?

Good question.

dearpreye:
Good evening, my brother. I'm shocked I didn't see the mention. Let's hope very sensible comments will flood this thread.

With all humility and sincerity, staying focused in Nigeria, in the midst of myriads of distractions, isn't an easy task. It requires a lot of determination, courage, persistence and possibly, flexibility to be focused. Our system seems it's designed to ensure we struggle and struggle more in other to make it.

But we have NO excuses if we must achieve a greater level of success and fulfilment. Others are making it legal in Nigeria; we too can!

In your case, I believe the following few points can help you be more focused.

Always Visualise Your Success. It's always a commendable habit to visualise the successful completion of your dreams. That will help you to take off your eyes from the distraction and have them fixated on your goals. I'm a piano enthusiast. When I started my piano classes, it was so hard teaching my hands something new. The fingers rebelled at the outset. I didn't give up. But whenever I visualise the joy that will follow my playing the piano before my loved ones and church, I became more focused on achieving my aim. Today, I can say I play some decent piano. The distractions are hurdles you must handle very well to remain on course.

Write Your Goals And Have Them Pasted Somewhere.

Only a few of us actually write down our own goals. A greater few will have them written and pasted where they can see them. To be focused, endeavour to have your goals written and pasted where you can always see them. Try and do that. It WILL help.

@bolded, fixed

Manage your priorities.

Sleep less, schedule your time to only what is important to you now, your schooling and your business. Delegate when necessary, avoid unproductive circles and social gatherings. Your every second is important. Apply social media advertising and web solutions, like a website, to your business to reduce the amount of time spent on offline marketing.

Your schooling will be over soon and you will benefit greatly from the clients and patronage you will build now and it will give you an upper hand when you are eventually able to dedicate your full time to your business. Working and schooling are a norm in developed countries and i do certainly believe it can be emulated here.

Even despite the presence of top quality infrastructure in developed countries, not everyone there is a success. There is no where in the world where success is handed down on a platter and there are numerous examples of foreign successful who had to overcome different challenges and difficulties on the path to success.

The number of challenges we face here are OUR responsibility and even offer us numerous opportunities. For every problem there is a solution and whoever is able to solve a great problem is certain of attaining great success.
