Nigeria 1 - 0 South Africa

Hello. All

Pls take time to visit this thread and express your opinion .

plaetton: Good for you sir. We appreciate your honesty.

Every nation has it small population of m.o.ro.ns, so it's not a crime per se to be st.u.p.id.
However, when such st.u.pi.di.ty as you have mentioned above is a national obsession, carried as a sort of national flag, when SELF-DEPRECATION becomes a national anthem, then it becomes everyone's responsiblity, those not infected, to step up , challenge , mock and dismantle this your st.u.pi.di.ty, if for none other than for the future of the race.

If you know anything about self-esteem, you would agree that a child with very low self-esteem grow up maladjusted, less likely to progress and more likely have substance abuse issues, and more likely to commit vices.

The mental orientation fostered, nay, yolked upon Africans by for Religious myths does not allow us to make proper sense of the world , our history and our place in the future. It distorts everything. It fragments our minds,and therefore our reality.

Is it any surprise that we Africans, in this modern era, contribute the very least in scientific innovation in an era where education has become an equalizer for the rest of our former Third World Peers like India, Korea, Brazil ,etc?

Is is any surprise that our children are failing national exams at an alarming rate,.. because their minds have been force-fed and suffused with too much religious garbage?

Let me ask you again sir, as I had asked someone else on another thread. I would appreciate your honest answer.

Why do advanced countries not have religion, the type we force-feed our school children in Nigeria, in their academic curriculum ?
There must be a good reason, right?
And then ask yourself: If the advanced countries do not do it, then why does Nigeria do it?

17392 gbosas for you bruv!!!

Start counting!!!

JesusisLord85: 1. The negro tribes of the former 'slavecoast' are the true Jews of the bible. Your question is therefore redundant.

2. Did the whole of Judah reject Yahshua? No. The scribed and pharisees raised up people against him. But we also know many followed after him We also know many were brought into the fold AFTER the resurrection.

3. Yes, the romans took the religion of the Jews and added their pagan traditions to it, this gave birth to roman catholicism. The protestants came many centuries later. If that is not a sign the whole thing is a scam, I don't know what could be clearer.

So: Forget world religions. Jew/Israelite is a nationality, not a religion per se. Just like us west africans, you cannot divorce religion and culture. But we know why our fathers worshipped wood and stone, among other things, we were cast out of Israel and found ourselves in west africa. And from there, many of us were carried off again into captivity in the americas.

But do not fear. The prophets have published it! The Most High shall gather his lost sheep and bring them back into the promised land, in the end times.
The edomites (oyinbo) of today will have you believe God stripped Israel of the eternal promise and is going to put them back in the land. Lol. Imagine that, the moabites, ishmaelites, ammonites and edomites keeping the laws and commandments in the end times. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Shalom

*SMH slowly*

You got a distorted history

OnyeEgo1: *clears throat** point of correction sir JESUS own the whole day of the whole week in a whole year, he own me and u, cos of u,me and IFA worshippers he DIED for our sins to save us from everlasting torment/purnishment WORSHIP hIM halleluyah!

Are. The Mods seeing this?

jaybee: What about Intercontinental Hotel in Kofo Abayomi Street, VI 100 m (328 ft)

[img]https://www.nairaland.com/attachments/1138889_pic_ictz_IMGP0137_-_Copy_jpgfc65fa504af12c1df1340feb6f8daa2e[/img]

Its tall but its just a high rise.. If u look at this building like something tall and magnificent... What more when the stratosphere- the super tall structure gets built and the eko atlantic

gbenga4sure: .Intercontinenta hotel lagos is just 330ft./100m and so is not even amongst the top 10,but i think it is the 12th tallest

Okay will as compared to other west african country. Lagos and abj have a pretty good skyline.. Bout there is still more work to be done.. There is need for proper urban planning and green open space. Cos lagos is quite a stressful city. Proper city planning will ease that.

Infomizer: Op, could it be a possibility that the Olokun adherents plagiarized the "burning bush" and "divider of the sea" concepts? #HonestEnquiry

Well I understand your point which is a bit valid . I blame it on the fact that african tradition is passed down orally and there is little written information, but do you know that there are also some plaglarized concept in Christianity and islam?

Chigold101: i will like to be sure of this ur 50floor thing...

Yeah although there are several definitions to it

The optiumum size for a
skyscraper is between 50 and 60 stories

https://www.wordnik.com/words/skyscraper

High-rise buildings are considered shorter than skyscrapers.[citation needed] There is no clear definition of any difference between a tower block and a skyscraper though a building lower than about thirty stories is not likely to be a skyscraper and a building with fifty or more stories is certainly a skyscraper.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyscraper

skyscraper, very tall,
multistoried building. The
name first came into use
during the 1880s, shortly after
the first skyscrapers were
built, in the United States. The
development of skyscrapers
came as a result of the
coincidence of several
technological and social developments.
The term skyscraper originally applied to
buildings of 10 to 20 stories, but by the
late 20th century the term was used to
describe high-rise buildings of unusual
height, generally greater than 40 or 50
stories.

Stelvin101: Your mate dey talk about Jesus, u dey here dey talk of stupid Olukun. Nonsense!

What happened to religious tolerance.. It was even said that the angels don't insult satan.. Even when they dialogue.. But you! A brainwashed human have the guts to insult a god , I pity u

electropiz: i only Knw JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth and i think i am satisfied with Him, following his precept everyday.

Good for u. Well this thread is not for u

CyberEBOLA: I guess the OP is a herbalist, and the Admin is OP client for putting up this kind of thread on front page this sunday morning.

And so

will2lead: Have you heard or seen Intercontinental Hotel in Lagos?

I wanted to make mention about that

theSlayer: non of those buildings you posted are skyscraper. those are high rises like the apartment buildings below .

You are right they are all high rises but they are okay to grace up the skyline.. The Stratosphere is the only skyscraper.. A skyscraper is usually from 50 floors above

Omexonomy: Minus the telecomunication mast union bank build is far taller than NET

So true! Nitel building cheated
I wonder what the building is used for since nitel has collapsed

I always loved the view considering my school was close to it and independence house.. That one too I just see military people around there.. The building has no windows Wonder what they using it for too

egopersonified: Why are all the pastos based abroad resigning and confessing, they better learn from Nigerians who hold their head up high in their deceit, a country where everyone is a god and no one is accountable to the other since the days of Adam.

Hahaha!! So true!!

When the church is at its healthiest,
many people contribute to the life of the
body with gifts they’ve been given. One
of those gifts is “pastoring”, or care-
taking. Mixed with all the other gifts in
the body, the whole community is
healthy, alive, free, and an expression of
God’s love in the world that is obvious
and undeniable.
But this is very rare among church
gatherings.
Much more often, the group is
dominated and defined by the
personality of one person: the Pastor-
god.
The Pastor-god is not merely a
contributor within the body; he is the
voice, the face, and the authority in the
church. He is the boss, the CEO, the
example, the teacher, the father-figure.
In the Cult of the Pastor-god, they are
called “God’s anointed”. They are the
one who communicates God’s word to
the followers. They are the mouth, while
the church is the ears. Their part is to
provide care and discipline to the
people; the people’s part is to listen,
honor, and follow.
And in many churches, this model works
flawlessly. People really want someone
to lead and protect them—without it
they feel vulnerable and lost. And of
course there are no shortage of people
willing to assume this role of the Pastor-
god.
The Pastor-god claims to not want
adulation and adoration from the people,
but inwardly they crave it. The people
claim they don’t believe their pastor is a
god, but they treat him like he is. When
the pastor makes them proud, they heap
accolades. When the pastor does not
live up to his god-like standard, they look
for ways to take him down.
When the Pastor-god is there, the people
feel safe. When the Pastor-god goes
away, the people are devastated.
Of course this is nothing new—people
are afraid to be leaderless, as was the
nation of Israel when they demanded a
leader:
But the people refused to listen to
Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a
king over us. Then we will be like all
the other nations, with a king to lead
us and to go out before us and fight
our battles.” (I Samuel 8:19-20)
God reluctantly gave them their leader,
an outstanding young man named Saul.
Their craving for a leader was satisfied,
but it was wrong; what resulted was
anxiety, strife, war, madness, and death.
One of the reasons churches suck today
is because they are much less like the
body of Christ and much more like the
Cult of the Pastor-god—or "the cult of
personality." More and more within the
church are recognizing this disturbing
reality:
“...evangelicalism is not so much a
religion as a series of fast-moving
personality cults.” ― Frank Schaeffer
Thinking about this, I could not get the
image of an old Star Trek episode out of
my mind. It’s called Who Mourns for
Adonais and it’s about the Enterprise
crew coming face to face with Apollo,
one of the gods from earth’s ancient
culture.
Remember this one?
As the episode goes, back when the
gods (turns out they were actually
aliens) came to earth, the primitive
people saw their power and naturally fell
down to worship them. Under their
authority, people felt cared for--and the
gods were happy to have the attention.
It was a comfortable, but immature and
ultimately dysfunctional relationship.
The gods’ part was to provide care and
discipline to the people; the people’s
part was to listen, honor, and follow…
…just like in the Cult of the Pastor-god.
In those days, to defy the gods was a
fearful thing—as Captain Kirk discovered
when he dared to defy Apollo’s
authority:
Kirk: “Apollo, we’re willing to talk, but
you’ll find we don’t bow to every
creature who happens to have a bag
of tricks.”
Apollo: “Agamemnon was one such as
you, and Hercules--pride and
arrogance. They defied me, until they
felt my wrath.”
Have you ever been called “proud” or
“arrogant” by a pastor-god when you
questioned their authority? If you have,
you have come face-to-face with the Cult
of the Pastor-god.
Apollo expected these people to fall
down and honor him just like people did
in the ancient days. But Kirk,
recognizing the dysfunction of such an
authoritarian relationship, continued to
defy—and the conflict escalates:
Apollo: “I could sweep you out of
existence with a wave of my hand,
and bring you back again. I can give
life or death. What else does mankind
demand of its gods?”
Kirk: “Mankind has no need for gods.
We find the one quite adequate.”
Apollo: “We shall not debate, mortal. I
offer you eternal rest and happiness
according to the ancient ways. I ask
little in return. But what I ask for I
insist upon.”
The one thing he cannot handle outright
defiance; he can only insist on its
authority, and promise judgment upon
the one who dares defy them. If you do
decide you need to escape the cult,
understand one thing:
There is no gentle way to get out of
the cult of the Pastor-god.
If you are struggling to get free from a
pastor-god cult, please re-read that last
sentence a couple more times. This will
be a battle of wills.
Eventually, Kirk and his crew had use
force to disable Apollo’s source of
power. Apollo was reduced to his true,
powerless nature.
In the end, Apollo lost everything and is
reduced to tears:
Apollo: “I would have cherished you,
cared for you. I would have loved you
like a father loves his children. Did I
ask so much?”
Kirk: “We’ve outgrown you. You asked
for something we can no longer give.”
And there’s the thing. Even people who
have been raised life-long in a pastor-
god cult are realizing they can no longer
give outright honor and obedience to a
religious authority figure. And they
shouldn’t.

BE WISE!!!!!

This man is a racist. How does not see$ to be able to control his silly mouth
