True talk.
I was once broke back then and getting a girl was like advanced calculus as I put a lot of brain work and strategies jst to woo a girl still I get dissapointed.
But when things began to change, getting a girl has never been this easy. I remember one girl then that called me a small boy, but now # coughs. ..I reserve my comment.
Life is all about the money.

Seriously we take this relationship thing too seriously. With time a guy will realize there is more to life than having a girl. Rejoice when a girl leaves you cos you don't have money, cos it is an opportunity to focus on what matters.

I love the content so much but can you please change the headline ?

I am open to suggestions bro

Listen guys,
NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT!
You can be rich today and poor tomorrow.
You can be poor today and rich tomorrow.

MY STORY.
I used to be darn broke. I mean sooo broke that I won't have ordinary 50 naira most times. Had to stay with my mum just to have food to eat while looking for a job. It was terrible.

Girlfriend? I did not even bother myself. I defriended all the girls in my life myself cos I can't be spending my little airtime to be calling any lady. I spent my little resources on things that mattered like calling my big uncles that could land me a job.

Fortunately after about a year of being jobless I got a call from on of my big uncles. This call did not just land me a job, it landed me Multi-million naira contracts. It was as if my maga don pay.

My life turned around within a week.

Talk about ladies. I was the one snatching broke guys girlfriends.

Money is power!
Even a guy came to beg me that he loves his girl and all and I shld please spare his girl friend. I remember how I told him to thank his stars that he did not come to fight me. I would have just called the police to come and lock him up for encroaching my premises to cause trouble. The guy left thanking me. Smh

See stop trying so hard to please a girl.
Imagine a girl coming to meet me that she wants a boyfriend that has a car that can I please introduce her to any of my friends? Imagine! And she had a boy friend at the time.

Ladies want the good life.

And when you finally make it, don't get carried away with the ladies.

Always remember that what they love is what they see.

Always ask yourself if she would be all over you if you were broke.

Double your hustle. If free pvssy comes your way, fvck it with sense lest you end up with unwanted pregnancy in your broke state which will further make your situation miserable.

To be honest relationship, sex, girlfriends are over rated.

Make money and change your life. Change the life of your family members. Life a good life. Eat good food, travel to beautiful places, meet important people, do something with your life. Having a girlfriend is no achievement

aaronson:
This question has been long overflogged and debated upon but let me write from my perspective.

13 billion years ago, the universe took shape after the big bang now in the process of the universe taking shape, Fragment of the big bang was what brought about dark matter, the planets, Sun etc as we all know today as the solar system.

4.5 billion years back in one planet called earth, Actually the greeks named her Earth as she was unknown prior to then.

After the Big Bang, tiny particles bound together to form hydrogen and helium. As time went on, young stars formed when clouds of gas and dust gathered under the effect of gravity, heating up as they became denser. At the stars’ cores, bathed in temperatures of over 10 million degrees C, hydrogen and then helium nuclei fused to form heavier elements. A reaction known as nucleosynthesis.
This reaction continues in stars today as lighter elements are converted into heavier ones. Relatively young stars like our Sun convert hydrogen to produce helium, just like the first stars of our universe. Once they run out of hydrogen, they begin to transform helium into beryllium and carbon. As these heavier nuclei are produced, they too are burnt inside stars to synthesise heavier and heavier elements. Different sized stars play host to different fusion reactions, eventually forming everything from oxygen to iron.
During a supernova, when a massive star explodes at the end of its life, the resulting high energy environment enables the creation of some of the heaviest elements including iron and nickel. The explosion also disperses the different elements across the universe, scattering the stardust which now makes up planets including Earth.

So back to the question, Do life have a purpose?

No, because if man had a purpose by an intelligent designer called god, then there would be nothing like free will which man has today, again god could never have envisage the stages of creation to bring about life if the universe was what he was trying to create so, in order words, During creation is either god made a mistake while creating the universe or Man is making a mistake creating illusion of God.

You are meant to live, eat, survive , breed and die courtesy of the stardust from the star after the big bang.

Life is meant to be understood backward in order to live forward. The purpose of life is purposeless.

Well it is possible life has no purpose, by the way I am not interested in the purpose of man. I am more interested in if life has any high purpose. Even the life of an amoeba

Auki:
God created everything for a reasons. Removing just mosquito from the equation will alter the balance of our planet. However, eliminating mankind will not effect the balance of the earth. Man is created for a higher purpose of worshiping God only.


1. Did you then think that We created you in vain, and that you would not be returned to us?

The Holy Quran 23:115

2. And I created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).

The Holy Quran 51:56

The purpose of our life is the worship our Creator in the many ways there are to worship Him (prayer, helping others, seeking knowledge, etc.).

3. …Who has created life and death so that He may try you which of you are best in deeds

Millions of plants and animals are extinct many without any effect on the ecology. What effect has the extinction of Dodos have on the ecology. We all want to believe god created everything and everything is useful. There are many animals we won't feel their impact when extinct. Most times we are only trying to save them for the sake of posterity.

Well as for god creating us for a purpose to worship him. Why? If god needed worshipers it would make sense to have created beings called worshipers who would effectively carryout their job of worshiping.

Then I ask again what is the purpose of life not what is the purpose of man.

Joagbaje:
I bet He won't answer you. Someone had said earlier he only used another person identity to mock christian Faith. He was not that man he claimed to be. He can't answer bible questions he claimed to have studied . Q

There is a simple way of verifying what people say. The holy spirit. Or u don't have the holy spirit?
Stop guess, let the holy spirit witness to u.

So unfortunate you can't see how ordinary you are. If not you won't be here trying to guess if a story is false or not. Guess wrong and expose how fake and empty u are

Joagbaje:
FASLE STRORIES LIKE THESE ARE ONLY GOOD FOR NOLLYWOOD HOME VIDEOS

How ignorant are you? This happens very frequently. I personally how at least 15 people with similar stories.
Someone shared with me just yesterday how her grandma was left to die lonely cos her mum's pastor said the grandma was a witch. And you claim to be a pastor, don't people confide in you? So many families have family members they accuse one way or the other for the misfortunes of other members.
This statement shows people don't find you worthy to be confided in. Else it won't sound like a nollywood story to you

NiRfreak:
I am still searching for the sense in this comment...........

There was no sense in his post, so don't bother trying to make sense from it. These are people who just want to show they are also witty.

lodscott:
have you ever sat down and just meditated on life, to discover truth.

anyway my point is you can't disqualify a person's experience to be false when you have no way of proving your self right.
and if I tell you now that I have verified the spiritual you can't believe me because its just my experience yet you can say am wrong either. you must understand this before bashing a person's convictions or religion

if I ask you now if you believe that man has gone to space, you most likely say yes you do. why? probably beacause a lot have testified, you must have seen videos, pictures.

what's the difference if someone tells you a man. named Jesus walked the earth some thousand years ago, he died abs rose again.

you don't belief, yet a lot have testified too,great men have believed it, they were record. although not the least bit verifiable but videos and pictures can be forged aswell. why do you believe one and disbelief the other?

ask urself.

And where did I disqualify jesus existence?
You make assertions about me using your own pretext. I clearly understand your strategy as I said in my last post.

Sorry you've only shown you are well read, you have not proven anything. That is because in solipsism you can't do that. We will just end up going in circles

lodscott:
should they discard their senses? mind you I hv transcended religion and atheism. to build and find something solid, you must break your foundation, you must burst out of your box. atheism is nothing bug a religion aswell.when ur willing to learn absolute truth you will humble your self

Are you familiar with the Philosophy of Solipsism?

If you want us to go that path, there would be no basis of communication. So don't display your philosophism if you really want to communicate. I can also make solipsistic statements and you won't have anything to say cos we won't be communicating.

At the end we all have to rely on empirical quantitations to arrive at logical conclusions.

So I stand by use of the senses.

lodscott:
let me list the assumptions I can find in this post


1. that I have human senses
2. that am human
3. that I read your post
4. that I replied you
5.that you have an environment
6.that I use my senses aswell
7. that everyone has to use their senses
8. that there is nothing more we can rely on hence I shouldn't ask you to discard your senses.


all assumptions brought in by ur unverified perception


let's say all the above are true, that is thinking inside the box. fine since you have decided that people exist, people have senses, people must use their senses.people mustnt ask you not to rely on your senses. the worse assumption so far which I'd unforgivable is that everyone has the same senses as you do.



can we take a minute and come out of that box, since there is no way to verify our senses but we must use them, what if a certain individual develops another sense 'x'.let's call the act of using this new sense "x'ing" and this sense like every other of yours brings in information to his mind and he interprets this information. then whatever he interprets this new information as would not exist to you. because you don't have the sense x. yet it clearly exists to him. what then do you make of this, would you ask him to discard that his "New" sense. I think not, because that would make a hypocrite right?



now let's say that individual was not just one person, they were many. and this their senses allowed them to experience a being which you couldn't experience and they called this being god. and this god is felt by them through this senses the same way your own senses tell you your phone is real.


who is right among both of you?

Beautiful.
So what's your point? I am not interested in chitchat albeit how intelligently structured if there is no purpose to it. So what do you want?

"Think"..?? though I have only biblical proof of soul,body and spirit..1thess5:23,..not here to change your belief,I want to understand what you stand for...since you believe in everyone dying and nothing else after death..stop the drama of telling people that they are on a wrong path, according to you there's no life after death....well good for you..Hold on to what you believe and we will hold on to ours.....thanks.

And why should you tell me what to do with my life and time?
I have lots of people benefiting from my posts, they are not for everyone, so you can kindly move on.

According to instinct of all living things, the struggle and mission of all living things is

1. TO STAY ALIVE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE

2. TO REPRODUCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

Even the Genesis account of creation makes reproduction God's primary assignment to all living things, saying "Be fruitful and multiply"

So the question is why are all living things struggling to stay alive? Why are we all trying to spread our genes and dominate?

What is the purpose to life?

If we could live for one million years, what do we achieve?
Death seems more reasonable than life, yet we all want to stay alive.

Does life have any purpose?

lodscott:
and what quantifies or witnesses these influence, our minds.our eyes, our nose,our ears, our senses some how gather some information and send it to our brains. we then interpet what we receive into reality as we know it right?

judging from this and your above statement, youmake two or more assumptions

1. the human sense organs exist
2. the human senses are 100% accurate

the rest are nt important for now

now by what means can we prove the senses to exist. if they are our yardstick for determining existence what would determine their own. if you can't answer this correctly then there is no need for me to proceed,because you are no different then the christians who claim a thing is right just because the bible said so, but have no proof that the bible is right.

An is it not this same human sense you use in reading my posts and replying me?
Why should I not rely on this sense to make judgments. What else should I have used in understanding my environment? Faith? Or assumptions? Or bible? Lol

Use your sense, we all have to. There is nothing more we can rely on so don't ask me to discard my senses

easterwick:
COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE AND FOLLOW THE REAL CHRIST YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
love your enemies,pray for those who despitely persecute you.

Are you saying MFM, Redeem, CAC, CCC, Winners and the rest who pray against their enemies and see visions from god on their enemies who must die are not christian denominations?

elroyale:
Well You were once a christian..you are aware of the hope of every Christian,that is "to get eternal life"... As a human being,it is not just our flesh that makes us who we are..we are made of a soul,spirit and body... Yes every dead person flesh decays when he\she dies...Whether Atheist or not...but as Christians we hope for something after death... According to your answer after death there's nothing else for you,everything goes into the ground and ends forever?

We cannot just be creating things without evidence. How can you claim we are made of body spirit and soul.
where was the spirit isolated and quantified? Where was the soul isolated and quantified.

Think.

lodscott:
define existence to you. how do you know for sure that something exists tell me

Whatever exists must have quantifiable influence which would be physical or chemical in nature. We can't see radiation but it's influence can be measured physically and chemically. Same with sound, same with air. So what is the proof of the existence of witches and demons?

geoworldedu:
Here is a thread for everyone who received miracle from cancer over the years. I believe this place will not be dry. If you did, just submit your testimony here. I will be making sure it's up on the Religion platform here.

Pls only sincere people should share testimony o, so that The Sickness won't come upon you like it came on Gehazi in the Bible. Shalom!

Eddygourdo, Muafrika2, Johnydon22, geoworldedu, dazzlingd, sonoflucifer, realmindz, etc.

Get ready for stories. I know lots of people who claimed to be healed of cancer (all lies) but they keep the lies on in hope of god seeing them as having faith, or while they keep up treatments at hospitals but giving god the glory

elroyale:
Just curious..as an atheist what do you think happens when you die

What happens to every other dead person.

lodscott:
most times pastors are wrong but one thing is certain. witches, demons, spirits do exist

Your proof?

geoworldedu:
It is a pitiable dismal bismal as Obaiagbon said.

MY MESSAGE FOR ALL CHRISTIANS: USE YOUR BRAIN. jehovah is dead.

What never existed cannot die

realmindz:
God is all loving. Will your parents who aren't all perfect nor all loving kill you if u mock them?

So why do you believe an all loving god would send people to hell FOREVER even if all you did was lie to avoid trouble?

THE UGLY REALITY!


Mr. Frank's business keeps suffering massive loses and he may be forced to close the business has bankruptcy seems to be inevitable.
Mr. Frank is a faithful catholic so it's only second nature for him to make his plights known to his Patron saints and supplication to the heavens in hope for divine mercy and a positive turn around from his misfortunes.

After many years and nothing seemed to be changing, Mr. Frank was well on his way into severe clinical depression. Why was God not answering him? "Oh Lord forgive me my sins! Whatever I have done to deserve this, Please forgive Lord. Holy Mother of God, Pray for me, Holy mother of God pray for me, Holy mother of God pray for me! If not for my sake, please for the sake of the my children. I can't feed them well any more! I can't pay their school fees! Father have mercy on me!" These were his daily cries to heaven.

Mr. Olawale, a close friend to Franklin seemed to be going through the same plight, he was not doing well himself, in fact he had been to Mr. Franklin to borrow money several times, but there was something curious about Olawale that Franklin could not really put his fingers on.
Olawale seemed to be so sure about the cause of his problems and he always claims he is effectively dealing with them.
He seemed to be on top of his game.

Just yesterday he confided in Frank on how he successfully killed a cat in his compound. He was so happy and excited as if he just won a lottery.

"So what is so good about killing an harmless cat?" Franklin asked, making Olawale look at him as if an alien just appeared from space.

"What is special about killing a cat? Seems you catholics don't know the reality of spiritual warfare." He grins bitterly while shaking his head expressing the pity he had for Frank's ignorance.
"Cats, wall geckos, lizards, snakes, black birds and many of the likes are animals witches use in monitoring lives and placing yokes on christian homes" he hisses "stay there and be forming ajebota. We are Africans, better don't let them waste you like chicken!"

This and many other admonishment from Olawale and other friends made Franklin begin to think and see sense in all he was told of the possibility of his problems being a spiritual one.

He made up his mind to see the prophet in Olawale's church.

There he was told his mother was behind his predicament.



This is the reality otf the society we live in. One in which Demons, Witches are all too real to us.

Where old women in the village are witches. Where sons fight their innocent mothers because they suspect or where or were told she is a witch.

The real damage believe in demons and witchcraft is causing is destruction of relationships.

People being paranoid and suspecting everyone they don't like as enemies.

In the office,
Husbands accusing wives,

Parents calling their innocent children ogbanje, witch, aje, emere.

Innocent people being killed because they look wretched so they must be witches.


Killing animals we think are demonic.

Pastors slapping innocent girls in the name of casting out witchcraft. And many more worse abuse such as setting innocent children on fire to cast out the demons.

Spending hours praying everyday against imaginary enemies.

Suffering self induced nightmares that are product of your paranoia. Where masquerades are pursuing you.



What is your experience?

geoworldedu:
As we all know, nairaland is a forum of more than a million monikers, and about 800,000 registered members. Out of all this 800,000 there should be at least ten people who have been lame before and are now healed by the miracles of either ADEBOYE OR KUMUYI or any of these people, TB JOSHUA, OYAKHILOME etc. whose healing we see everyday on TV.

Now I am challenging anyone who have been healed of lameness to post his testimony here. Any false testimony shall attract the actual disability coming upon the false testifier by the power of nature.

So if you are one of the numerous lame people who have been healed over decades, Pls post you testimony here to confirm it.



Johnydon22, Hardmirror, etc. Pls come and tag others too. food yaf set.

Lol

It's so funny that christians can't just see the scam and lies.

No Abrahamic religion is true. Their God does not exist. Even the blind can see there is nothing to this religion.

If there was just ONE real amputee who ever got restored, I can assure you that the whole world will here because even the christians would be surprised. For 1000 years to come such a miracle will be their ace testimony and used for adverts.

The Devil is a liar,He just found one vessel .My brother,i advise you, please go back to the creator of the Heavens and earth.

The God you claimed to served Before is a jealous God.Everyone will surely die! but if you die where will you be. Repent now

Read what you just wrote and think deeply.
Who told you god is a jealous god?
Who told you where I will be when I die.
There is overwhelming testimonies about reincarnation which are even more profound and tested than of heaven and hell. So who is right?
You must think Jehovah is the only god people worship. Expand your scope. Life is bigger than what you are told in the church or by a concocted book

lordizak:
of course, if you truly were a pastor, u know about Psalm 1.

the bible is the creation of the imagination of men. So what psalm 1 or any part of the bible says shld be taken with this understanding. You read the bible, pick up what is useful to you, and dump the remaining thrash. Nothing special.

Boldwinner:
It's hard to break away from what you've built almost all your life on. I realized that our beginnings have a large impact in our lives. It is very scary to change all your beliefs over night. Think again and experience the love of God. If atheism cuts you off from people and life, then you better discard it. Enjoying our lives is dependent of how we relate and contact other living humans. This contact is very important in generating the life force. Anything that shortens it, shortens life.

You are absolutely right about the impact of or formative years.

I can NEVER be a religious person again, not even going back to the christian faith. It is founded on lies and fabrication of men.

In some years time I would be well established in the new life I am building. So not complaining. Only making my experience available to others

[size=32pt] If you are an atheist but still waste your time pretending to be a christian or muslim or what ever, please cut it now! fully embrace your intellectual liberation and be yourself! The church would only waste your time, limit your scope, shape the friends and company you have and at the end You would have limited yourself cos you were trying to blend in.[/size]
