I became an atheist after I was married so I can't really speak to that but now that I am an atheist both sides of my family know. My MIL said if she had known I was going to be an atheist she won't have supported the marriage. Oh well too late mummy. LoLz. I think most people have an erroneous perception of who an atheist is. A lot of them think atheists participate in secret societies and the like, which can't be further from the truth. Fun fact: I have a colleague who is a Christian and a Free Mason, he openly wears his Mason ring. I got to talking with him because he learnt I was an atheist and he confirmed that the lodge would not take me because I am an atheist.

I have tried to live as good a life as I can, showing everyone that I am just a man trying to live my life without any mumbo-jumbo.

Your MIL probably knows that you are dragging her daughter and grandchildren backwards and possibly into a godless eternity. No sane mother wants that for her children. Life to a christian is MORE THAN being financially established and 'successful' in career.
Your free mason colleague is of course not a christian. You yourself know that you cannot follow Christ and belong to a cult symbol and ritualistic society, even if bishops are in the so called society. Atheists and women are not allowed to be masons also, lol.

Your good life remains a filthy rag, full of lies, pride, self, idolatry and an immoral mind. Well, even the guys that lynched someone for blasphemy are trying to live a good life as they can. Jokers everywhere.

HardMirror:
God has been totally useless to this country. There is no god so why waste money on sending people to mecca or Israel?
It is same religious people stealing public funds and being bigots.
Even if there is a god. What makes the god of Isreal or mecca better than our idols here?

Thank God for Nigeria. If not for God, Nigeria will not be. Sending people to visit other countries is good in a sense. Your idols have been useless for centuries, they only do bad things allegedly.

Not sure Tinubu knows the guy or has his time. The guy is mainly known here on NL and by the Obi supporters on Twitter.

Hope it's not our budaatum abi wetin be the handle again? Why's anyone blaspheming Muhammad for God's sake. Don't they know the unfortunate consequences?

LordReed:
From other lifeforms.

Hahahahahaha, comedian.

Only Jesus can save. Let the man breathe.

jmoore:
Don't worry, only Tinubu supporters will buy fuel at 85 naira per liter and also buy 1kwh unit of electricity at 20 naira per unit.

i was never worried, you are. i don't operate by what i see BTW.

slowice:
Corrupt people can manipulate any avenue to defraud the people . It's the weakness of the government that they are exploiting but the government rather than deal with their failures choose to cut us off... They choose the easy way out and made us casualty. We are not the ones exploiting the system and none of those has been caught or punished because the government is complicit.

What do you mean cut you off? How much does fuel cost all over the world? Dollar rates are terrible and the government can do better with that trillions used as father christmas that keeps multiplying instead of increasing debts.
It makes more sense to simply lock up your vault instead of leaving it open and looking for faithful and solid security that will catch thieves. They call it root cause analysis.

Deemas:
7.5% tax to commence on all food stuff

Not a good one.

jmoore:
Crude oil is smuggled out of the country. So the solution is to ban crude oil production so that smugglers won't have opportunity to smuggle out crude oil?

LoLz, i gave an instance to show someone saying that said there's no corruption in the subsidy racket. Banning crude oil like YOU suggested is A solution, but not the only solution.
You should have suggested a solution all these while when all the politicians were promising to remove subsidy for over 10 years. You came late so deal with the consequences instead of murmuring chiefly because some loser is not the one taking the decisions.

Emma4real333:
As a Nigerian, i have never eating government cake or national cake which I am entitled to.

Weather employed, underemployed or unemployed, People are suffering.

Government should lead and not punishing its citizens in the name of wicked policies.

Nigeria belongs to us all.

Yes, Nigeria belongs to us all. The point about eating your cake and having it is not about a national cake but about the decision.
All the major political contenders campaigned to remove subsidy. Our leaders have been trying to remove subsidy for over 10 years. Now, it has been removed, we're blaming one man or party for removing it when that was everyone's plan all along. It makes no sense to blame.

Anyone who still hawks stories that Tinubu can't speak or is not intelligent is simply intelligent. Pray for them, let them breathe.

slowice:
Subsidy is not a form of corruption bro

It's currently our biggest corruption. Oil marketers lie about fuel consumption and get paid for it. They get the fuel cheap due to subsidies and smuggle the fuel to neighboring countries to re-sell. This is not godliness but corruption.

Emma4real333:
Stop defending nonsense. No be only you go school

Not defending it, just stating the simple fact.
You can't eat your cake and have it. If subsidy is removed and FX rates are same, there will be inflation. It doesn't matter who takes the decision.

lexy2014:
What challenges are you referring?

Inflation.

slowice:
There are things citizens gain from their government worldwide.... What do we gain from ours?


The people who stole for themselves, covid-19 palliatives obviously has no good plan for Nigeria or Nigerians. It's all about them, it has always been.

Subsidy isn't the problem, corruption is. If they reduce corruption by 50% they will have more than enough to spend on developmental projects.... They are just going for the low hanging fruit which is subsidy because they are too greedy and too lazy to tackle corruption.

Subsidy and multiple exchange rates are very wild corruption.

Basicend:
The only Tinubu has done is to increase tariffs and ages of virtually everything. . But his warriors will be after me now. .

Lolz, patience.

Removal of subsidy and dual exchange rates is expected to come with such challenges. Next.

This one was days before. Stop creating what is not. You're the most bitter losers ever. It clearly shows you guys were not patriotic after all but emergency lovers of Nigeria. You just look for something to support your wrong decision and paint the government bad, you don't want anything good about Nigeria except it's from you. That's witchcraft.

Obi clearly is unashamedly tribalistic.

lexy2014:
It's because it's all in the dictionary (both online and offline) am asking u since u said the guy didn't get his facts right.

What is the difference between adultery and fornication?

Continue looping.

Use an online dictionary if you don't have an hard copy.

Workch:
your have to understand that because you believe in something does not necessarily mean that it's true until you have brought evidence to substantiate it.

What makes an intelligent person is that ability to forgo emotions and bias and bring solid evidence when analyzing scenarios.
Evidence means something that is testable and repeatable in a controlled environment.

You don't expect people to just take your word for it

You totally left out the evidence of things not seen, duh.

lexy2014:

All in the dictionary brother, all in the dictionary.

Adultery is not a ground for divorce, fornication is. Get your facts right.

LordReed:
I dunno but since you have that statistic you tell me. Meanwhile answer my question: When last did you see me arguing about your book of favorite mythology?

This week and every other day, you talk about God and His Word or what you assume to be His Word. What are you on about?

Dantedasz:
Here lies the problem of organised religion .

How can a person with cognition compare REAL physical things like terrorism, prison and motor accidents to UNREAL things like demons,spirits hellfire,talking snakes, talking donkeys, pantheon of gods,Satan,devil's ,a man just floating up in the air to heaven with no propulsion jets or food just falling from the skies,just baffles me and beats me hollow. I think my job here is done.

You were without job from the start.

Dantedasz:
It beats me how someone whose life is filled up with fear of hell fire demons,spirits, talking snakes and talking donkeys can find peace, love and joy?
The weight that religion places on your head can never give you joy. It only fills you with fear and trepidation of offending your god and his uncountable dos and donts.
In the end you will sadly find out it was all in vain and like a mirage, non existent!

Are you filled with the fear of prison, terrorism and accidents? That they are real doesn't mean that everyone is filled with their fear. i only fear God, nothing else. If religion placed burdens on your head, it didn't on mine. Your fallacious experience is not the experience of everyone. Again, no jokes, you most likely have never had the thrills i have heard this year alone in all your life. Come to Jesus, JOY literally follows.

Maynmann:
Your jewish savior didn’t speak English.
What is “hell” in Hebrew/Aramaic?

Back off and go and find a bone my dear.

Maynmann:
Is that a belief or a fact, believer?

Stop basking in your delusions.

Okay.

Dantedasz:
It would be sad that when the time comes and you find out all you believed in are just myths and writings of men pretending to be speaking for a deity. Unfortunately by that time it will be too late to retrace your steps!

How can it ever be sad when i have enjoyed unspeakable joy and love for decades since i started for God's kingdom. Friend, wake up i have more peace, love and joy in one month than you've probably ever had all your life.
