₦airaland Forum

.

We are gradually derailing dis thread.
What I tot we shud discuss is:
What moral justification does an individual or a group of pple have to "super-impose" his/her/their selfish interest on others by threatening them? is dis as a result of d passion/love dey somuch hav for d socalled oneness?

dryakson: Good day nairalanders,
I posted how 800,000 naira was deposited into my account from an unknown person last week and the advices I got from my fellow nairalanders inspired me while some is the other way round.. Who no want money, I like it too but the consequences that will follow is the Wahala.. Lol.
I went to the bank and asked for my account break down and the consumer icare lady break the account details including the last deposit of the 800,000 naira without any suspicious from her... Happy happy...
I asked her for the phone number attached to the teller that sent 800,000 naira last week and she did I thank her and went outside the banking hall.
I called the number and a female voice pops out of the speaker she asked who I was but I ignore her question and ask her if she made any deposit of money last week, but said NO.... ALERT! ALERT!....
2 minutes later she called and said her husband who is currently in USA sent money to his brother's account here in Nigeria before his journey last week and that the brother is also in USA with him according to her the brother (account owner) will be back to Nigeria in 1 week time, I also asked if she received any alert about the money with her number but she said she don't know why she stop receiving alert... ......... She was alerted too.
She asked if I was a banker but I said no, I asked her to send me her husband number but she hang the call.
5 minutes later a foreign number came in I assume it to be the depositor calling with USA number.
He asked who I was and how I got his wife phone number, I narrated how the money was sent to my account and how I got his wife's number. bla... Bla..... Bla
According to him, the teller is with him in USA, I returned to the bank and tell the lady all what had happened she was amazed at how my names as well as the account number is thesame except the difference of one number which is 7 in mine and 2 on his brothers own .
The manager arrived and ask the depositor to scan and send the copy of the teller for verification. It was concluded that the money was for him.
The manager thanks me and introduces me to the workers as well as the customers as a loyal and a good Patriotic Nigerian. According to the manager I made a good decision of reporting to the bank unlike other people who will withdraw and spent the money and later paid and charge for fraudulent.
In the other hand, the wife, her husband and the owner of the account thanks me then asked the manager to leave #20,000 while he transfer the remaining #780,000 to the other account, he promised to be calling me anytime.

What surprises me was how two guys from the banking hall curse me and my entire generation for returning a huge amount of money worth 800k. according to them, I should have withdraw the money and Run to outside country, I laughed and go my way.

I have no regrets what so ever
And if you were in my shoe, what will you do in this situation?


Let's hear your say


You can ask any question

Some years baxk (2007), I was once a "beneficiary" of a bait as dis. I recived an alert of N1.6M on my Z... bank a/c. I was so shocked cos my salary den was abt N30,000.
After much battle wit my conscience and some "advisers" who wanted me to withdraw d dough, I gave it up to d Hausa owner. she was so, so happy to get her money back. And me, I was so happy I did.
I think d world will be a better place if we all hav such minds.

is it dat any ethnicity dat choses to leave shud be viewed as "an enemy of Nigeria" and as such, be resisted?
wat do u think will be d outcome of such action?
What we shud be looking at right now, is how to appease d aggrieved parties if we truly want dem to remain. Let's face d reality on ground, pple r no longer comfortable with dis co-existence; even d power dat be is aware of it. So if we sincerely want to win dem back, it is certainly not by threats.

BAUCHI—As Nigerians
prepare the groundwork
for a National Conference,
Bauchi State governor,
Mallam Isa Yuguda,
yesterday, cautioned
against allowing those who
do not wish Nigeria well to
participate in the confab.
The governor, who spoke
exclusively to Vanguard,
warned that those who
were gearing up for
Nigeria’s disintegration and
disharmony among the
different ethnic
nationalities should not be
allowed to have their way
during the discussion.

Yuguda said that although
President Goodluck
Jonathan meant well by
convoking the dialogue,
well-meaning Nigerians
must be on the alert to
ward off tribal warlords
and ethnic jingoists, who
would want to use the
platform to campaign for
the advancement of
narrow interests at the
expense of national
integration.
The governor said: “During
the conference, anybody
who comes with any idea
or proposal that would
make it impossible for
Nigerians to live together
should be stopped by all
means.”
“Any person who comes
with any agenda to make it
difficult for us to wax
stronger as a united
country should be chased
away so that this nation
will be able to achieve the
lofty ideals of our founding
fathers as guaranteed by
the Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The opportunity provided
by President Jonathan for
Nigerians to come together
and share ideas on how to
move the nation forward is
a golden one, which should
be appreciated by all
Nigerians, who believe in
the unity and greatness of
this country.
“That is why Nigerians
should be ready to chase
away anyone who wants to
use the dialogue to cause
disaffection rather than
bring about new ideas on
combating the myriads of
challenges facing the
nation.
“Let us use the opportunity
provided by the confab to
grow and mature as a
people who have no other
country than Nigeria and
be able to eradicate
corruption, criminality,
poverty and diseases and
bring in wealth for the
nation and its people.
“We should get out of our
shell and do the right thing.
I hope that the conference
will help Nigeria to
overcome its challenges
and mature into
greatness,” Yuguda said.
The governor predicted
that the current challenges
facing the nation would
soon fizzle and pleaded
with Nigerians to continue
to support President
Goodluck Jonathan to
move the nation forward.
On how his successor will
emerge, the governor
explained that the people
of the state would be
involved in the process of
choosing the right
candidate based on zoning
and the need to get the
best for the state to
continue with his
development agenda.

mekaboy: Well its bound to happen. All this is in preparation to usher in the man of lawlessness(anti-christ). It will be the same worldwide. Eventually there will be one world currency and govt. Since ur bank details, is linked to ur finger print. You will not have access to ur funds unless u have the mark of the beast.

Its happening before our eyes.

... and who is dat person still doubting The Holy Bible as the true and genuine Mind (Word) of God?

Its quite unfortunate dat Oshiomhole is making himself a ready tool in d hand of some selfish pple in d name of political opposition.
I never knew he's more loyal to Kaduna dan his Edo pple.
Perhaps his next political ambition cud be best realised in Kaduna State cos he has just shot himself on d leg.

I dont kno y something in me keeps reminding me of these poetic verses as regards Nigeria:
"Turning and turning in
the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear
the falconer;
Things fall apart; the
centre cannot hold,
Mere anarchy is loosed
upon the world".

Usbeel: U guys keep saying national conference committee, in my view; it is National Corrupt Committee!

u cud call it wateva pleases u. dat's ur qualm.
@ the topic;
dont u tink its too early for dat? dis pple are still consulting. dey will hav to submit their reports to d CIC b4 d actual conf begins. perhaps den, all dese will be in place.

what else can I say?
bravo to Nigerian Police.
but a pregnant (and very much active) robber?
it beats my imagination.

I hate to hear it when they are refered by that name. what is progressive about this bunch of jokes?
I just hope the like of Oshiomhole retrace his steps before he becomes politically irrellevant in edo state.
the earlier he realised he is the odd one here, the better for him.

Ugom38: God!! this is my fellow woman being imprisoned by her better half,help us dat are yet to enter marriage not to be blinded by wealth at de expense of our happiness.its scary...

so u never marry? wetin u dey wait for?

otijah: what is he saying please?

he just made a show of his stup!dity.
were u suprised?

remsonik: Cos their race has got no lawyer like falana

I vowed not to comment but only observe threads for some time. unfortunately, dis lobster-headed ignoramus has made me change my mind.
for d record; U r an !diot.

harlos: .... and may ur sins be forgiven.

And who tells u dat there is forgivness of sins after death?
Reserve ur prayers for dos he leaves behind.
Thank you.

over 21 formal world
religions and belief systems.
Some have been around for
only a few years while others
have existed for thousands.
Religions vary in beliefs with
some believing in only one
god, others many and some
none. The one thing all
followers of religion are
governed by a set of beliefs
apart from them that govern
the way they live their lives.
Top 10 Largest Religions In
The World 2013
10. Shintoism - 4 million
Shintoism is a religion
indigenous to Japan circa
1000 B.C. and focuses
worship on the kami , a host
of supernatural beings
dwelling in natural elements.
There is no formal dogma,
writ or founder, which has
allowed for influence from
other religions, such as
Confucianism and Buddhism.
Due to Shintoism’s
compatibility with Buddhism,
many of it’s followers
practice both. Shintoism is
devoted to life in the world
and celebrates man’s
essential goodness. The
religion is focused on ritual
rather than belief and is
considered more of an
essential Japanese way of life
rather than a religion for its
followers, contributing to its
lack of practice outside
Japan.
9. Jainism – 4.2 million
Jainism rose alongside
Buddhism in India and
provides an alternate
religion to Hinduism’s strict
religious rituals. It teaches
the escape from the process
of rebirth and karma by
reaching nirvana via leading
a life of abstinence from the
world’s earthly pleasures.
Janism focuses on the
wellbeing of the universe by
living lives of harmlessness
and renunciation from life’s
evils. All living things,
humans, animals and plants
alike, contain souls with no
soul being greater than any
other. It’s followers believe
there is no god but rather
generate their morals based
on self-help.
8. Bahaism - 7 million
In sense of most world
religions, Bahaism is
strikingly new, only coming
into existence in 1863 out of
Persia. It focuses on the
unification of all mankind
drawing upon teachings from
Islam and Christianity. Mirza
Hoseyn ‘Ali Nuri, known as
Baha ‘Ullah, founded
Bahaism on the belief that
his forerunner Bab and
himself are manifestations of
God. Bahais believe all
founders of major religions
were manifested upon the
earth as agents of God
implemented to teach the
world spiritual lessons. Baha
Ullah’s personal mission is to
then unite and mankind
despite religion, race or
class, and focused most of
his teachings on social ethics
7. Judaism - 14 million
Judaism is the oldest of all
monotheistic religions and
blazed the trail for many
other world religions
including Christianity and
Islam. Judaism follows the
teachings of God, Yahweh,
and focuses on Jews as the
chosen people of God
descending from the line of
Abraham. Jews are called to
be an example for others in
holiness and ethical
behavior. Moses founded the
religion after leading his
people from Egyptian slavery
and receiving the Ten
Commandments from God on
Mount Sinai. The Jewish
religious text is known as the
Torah and recounts the
stories and teachings of it’s
founders.
6. Juche -19 million
Juche is the religion of North
Korea and also known
mockingly as “Kimilsungism.”
It’s a religion founded on
state dominance, veneration
of leadership, political and
economic independence, and
communal production. The
ideologies were first inducted
by Karl Marx under the
religion now known as
Marxism.
5. Sikhism - 23 million
Sikhism emerged from India
circa the 15th century under
the guidance of guru Nanak.
The religion combines beliefs
from Hinduism and Islam
characterizing the belief that
God comprises one reality
alone while drawing upon
meditative emphasis. At 29,
Nanak declared, “there is no
Hindu; there is no Muslim.”
He rejected polytheism for
monotheism and believes life
is a circle of birth, death and
rebirth only released by
moksha into eventual unity
with God. Sinkhism focuses
on the importance of doing
good rather than on religious
rituals.
4. Buddhism -376 million
Buddhism follows the
teachings of Saddhartha, the
son of a warrior prince born
into an extremely wealthy
background. The suffering of
humanity led Saddhartha to
leave his pampered life at 29
and travel in search of
enlightenment and solutions
to human suffering. While
meditating beneath the bodi
tree (tree of perfect
knowledge) he received the
enlightenment he sought and
devoted the rest of his life
teaching his followers of his
new understandings.
Buddhists focus on personal
spiritual development and
don’t worship gods or
deities.
3. Hinduism - 900 million
Hinduism is considered the
oldest religion in the world
with a legacy leading to
prehistoric times. It is also
the most diverse religion
with followers from all races
and walks of life, perhaps
because there is no single
doctrine, no founder or
script binding believers
together. Hinduism
incorporates a number of
influences in its beliefs and
allows for complete freedom
in doctrine. Instead,
Hinduism’s history is written
by a number of key figures,
teachers and philosophers
teaching practices and
writings known as the Veda.
As far as belief goes,
Muslims draw upon a couple
common values known as
dharma. The term ‘Hindu’
was derived from the Sindhu
River and doesn’t go back
further than the 15th
century. Followers began to
call themselves Hindu in
order to differentiate
themselves from other
religious followers, namely
Muslims.
2. Islam – 1.5 billion
Islam is one of the fastest
growing religions in the
world and follows the
practices of Muhammad, a
member of the Quraysh tribe
born 570 A.D. At 25 he led a
meditative life in the desert
and received a vision from
the angel Gabriel telling him
to be a prophet. His wife
Khadija encouraged him in
this pursuit and he devoted
his life to societal and
religious reform. He was
shunned from Mecca and
fled after only gaining a few
followers. Fleeing to Medina,
Muhammad’s teachings were
well received and marks the
beginning of the Muslim era.
In 630 A.D., he marched on
Mecca and conquered it
before passing away two
years later.
1. Christianity - 2.1 billion
Stemming from Judaism,
Christianity is the largest
religion in the world with
31.5% of the world’s
population in practice.
Christianity is characterized
by its follower’s practice of
monotheism and follow
practices preached by Jesus
of Nazareth, a Jew who
claimed to be both fully man
and fully God. Born in
Bethlehem around 7 A.D.,
Jesus didn’t become public in
his teaching until his 30th
year and spent 3 years
performing miracles and
teachings until roughly 30
A.D. when he was brutally
crucified for being a threat
to the Roman Empire.
Unaffiliated - 1.1 billion
It’s debatable whether those
who practice no religion
count in the list of world
religions, but it’s undeniable
they hold a set of beliefs on
religion even if those beliefs
are to chose not to believe.
If that is the case, then
unaffiliated would come in at
number 3 on our list. 16.3%
of the world’s population
professes to either one of
the forms of disbelief,
atheism/agnosticism, or with
spiritual beliefs unlinked to
any established faith. Of the
1.1 billion people professing
no faith, over 62% of them
live in China alone and make
up more than half of its
population. Japan is the
most unaffiliated country
with 57% of its population
with no link to any
established faith. America
closes out the top 3 with
16.4% of it’s population in
disbelief. Atheists and the
unaffiliated believe god is a
man-made construct, is
unknowable or that its
concepts are not meaningful
to the human condition.
