Imagine a Murderer or a kidnapper,or a robber or rapist eventually turning to an atheist?? Doesn't sound too Nice right? What will be the inner force that will torment their conscience after committing Horrible acts?

Unfortunately, you don't understand reality nor the genesis of morality.
Most people don't murder and rape because it isn't necessary, it is against their self-interest
and they have been raised with the belief that those actions are wrong.
Believing in a god won't stop a robber from plying his trade.
Conscience is a product of upbringing and societal value.

In the Caucasus, bride kidnapping is normal but I doubt if many
Nigerian men will kidnap a girl and force her into marriage due to the
negative consequences of doing so(legal and societal).

There was a highly religious Indian tribe called the "thugees", from where
the word thug was derived. Guess what their occupation was?
Theft and murder, it is estimated that they killed at least a million people,
mostly travelers, dispossessing them of their wealth. It was the strong arm
of the british law, not god or religion(they are already religious) that dissuaded and
destroyed their criminal ways of life.


Conscience is not a rigid set of rules found in a book, it is acquired through
societal interactions.

Some people haven't developed stable minds up to this time, to be able to act Right and possess good moral standards without religion just yet.

I see this statement as coming from a supremacist and arrogant stance,
unless someone is mentally retarded and is a psychopath(there are very
few of them and religion can't improve their condition), they have stable minds
and have the ability to act right and possess good moral standards.

Religion doesn't make people act right, upbringing and teachings do.
If you are born into an ISIS family, you will believe that beheading
infidel is the right thing to do.

Some of the most anarchist country in the present world have almost
a 100% religiosity, think Somalia and Yemen. Their religion didn't give
them order because it can't. Strong government with good economies creates
societal order, not religion.

So most people still need Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed and the rest in their lives for now before they can talk about moving on to deeper truths.

Most people need the above to make sense of their situation, solicit prayers and
feel lucky that a god cares about them, not morality. Deeper "truths" is a meaningless
concept and have no bearing on the behavior of most humans.

So contrary to my previous beliefs that we as a people need to be free from Religious slavery, I now realize that Religion is absolutely necessary to Help maintain Order in the Society so for now, Daddy freeze should let Christians and other people practicing their various religions to be. This is my own take on this issue.

Of course you are free to air your opinion. Religion doesn't maintain order,
security forces, fear and self-interest does.

Religious leaders lie all the time about the effectiveness of religion on societal
morality and order when it is glaring to anyone who cares that such claims
are bogus.
There are some fringe percentage group of people who won't turn to crime because
their god say so, it is the same set of people that would also kill you because their
god say so. They aren't necessarily moral afterall.

I propose that proper education and good parenting is sufficient and more
effective means of raising a balanced, moral and upright society.

frenzyduchess:
but my own question now is if you say you love someone, is staying faithful too much of to sacrifice for the sake of that person's happiness? . I just don't get all this various crooked articles by weak minds to justify cheating. They act like pussy is the oxygen men need to stay alive and even a wife alone can't supply him the oxygen ,else he will die

The author is trying to separate love from loyalty, empathy
and responsibility, thus rendering the word empty and meaningless.

The author is sad that not all men cheat and again,
not every cheating man is proud of his action.

The aim of this article is to encourage marriage infidelity
and make cheating seem normal.

But the unintended consequence of this myopic article
is that women will also be turned into proud cheats which
will, in turn, derail the purpose of marriage.

There is a stigma attached to cheating men and women
in most societies, so these articles hope to change such
attitude by legitimizing irresponsibility.

frenzyduchess:
When I see write ups like this, I am tempted to ask how this people come up with their statistics , a man can cheat and still love his wife ,like WTF!, so that means you can love someone and still go ahead to hurt them?, if yes, can someone please give me the real definition of love cos it seems to have another meaning in this century

Most statistics are meaningless and wrong.
The writer of this article wrote his opinion and other
misogynistic men took it as the gospel truth.

Useless post.
No single evidence to back up the drivel.
Probably authored by a misogynistic old man who has been
abandoned by his family due to his irresponsible behaviors.

Nedfed:
So far you wish dem bad, maybe you be sackeddddddddddd in your place of work.
Born foolllllllll

Dummies like you can't comprehend and can't ask those who do.

We have enough security forces already.
Peace corp should not be adopted by the federal government.

franzis:
No one can earn a billion naira honestly.

You are right, working for salary, there is no way you can earn a billion naira
unless you steal, cheat or embezzle.
Even a million naira will be a luxury.

Recession recovery economic strategies.
There will always be snake oil salesmen and gullibe buyers
to match.

Okay

Many expired celebrities are using Freeze anti-tithe posts to
stay relevant.

Rosskii:
You actually think Trump CARES about his country?

A criminal and traitor who sold his country to Russia? With two or three of his aides currently under house arrest on charges of fraud and lying to the FBI?

Some of you are so naive.

Get this. Anything and everything Trump does is for the purpose of benefiting Trump and nobody else. If banning all foreigners will make him more popular among his supporters, he will do it. It has ZERO to do with his 'patriotism'.

Really, I have no idea why so many of you cannot see through this guy. His criminality and repulsive perfidy wears a hat and carries a walking stick.

You will be surprised that many fanatic online Trump supporters are Africans.
They have been made to believe that he is a "strong" leader compared to the
"weak" Obama.

FortifiedCity:
I disagree with you Bros. Obama's exit was the handiwork of God.

If his stooge had won, the whole cause of human interaction would have been tumbled in America especially in relation to Sex.

But no matter what, Good will always conquer evil. Trump is a lesser evil

Why is your god so fixated on sex that he had to use a pervert to
conquer evil?

Freeing gullible people from mental shackles is very difficult.
Even some slaves fought passionately in favor of slavery
during the American civil war.

Quality20:
Bad. I really think is both childish and irresponsible. Why leak official and confidential document? Fist, its kachikwu and now its Oyo Ita. If u feel u have something for d public why not take up a page on d dailies and publish what ever u want or better still if u feel things are being done the wrong way u resign, while stating ur reasons. This is really a show of disrespect for due process and office

Who is your post directed at?
It appears you are privy to some private information.

soberdrunk:
Correct me if i am wrong but isn't "monkey pox" a highly 'contagious' disease and shouldn't this be a 'quarantine' situation? Why does it look like they are there to pick a patient with that has malaria?

You are right, that is why the disease keeps spreading.
The health workers are being careless with suspected cases
because the fatality rate is very low, there was even a case
where a mother was allowed to freely relate with her infected son
with some people tagging it as "mother's love" when there is the danger
of her taking it home to the other children.

This is becoming a bit monotonous..

I blame the people encouraging the spammer with likes.

budosky:
Good one!

I always say it, MTN is a scam. [b]They are after our money while providing unaffordable services at extremely outrageous prices. The funniest thing is, MTN will rather sponsor Music and musicians that add no value to human and community development than to spend millions on education which is the base of all forms of human development. Imagine, given out 250k scholarships while promoting useless musicians with hundreds of millions.

Don't quote me if you have a dead brain!

Entitlement and victim mentality.
Companies are not founded to look after your personal
interest, they exist to make profit!.

Spying on what?
A secret cult?

TB is a master of video propaganda and manipulation.
I still remember him releasing a Boko haram bomber

Olu317:
If he wasn't a foreigner,how come he used white ram as a sacrifice for his ancestors?

He could have used a purple lion!
It doesn't matter what he allegedly sacrificed and we don't even know that.
There is always a first time for everything.

How come he used white local chalk with kola and other things as well as killing of white cockerel/ doves etc in concentric circle to worshiped almighty God ? Some people seems to be too attached emotional to specific location but the truth will always showcase itself.

Evidence please?
From the way you write it appears you are not familiar
with early Ife occultic practices and you seem to confuse
modern western anthropomorphic god with that of
traditional religion adherents

Odu'a descendants know certain things that are alien to many people who don't know the man's history.

Please check the meaning of "know" and "history", the two words are not
to be used when discussing myths and conjectures.

godfatherx:
This is not an excuse for development though, but Nigeria is a continent, too much diversity to exist as a unit.
Our socio-ethnic and religious diversity affect our reasoning so much we can't agree on anything.
To compete with the rest of the world, we need to restructure or disintegrate.

Germany has 79% Germans and 21% other ethnic groups.
60% of the people living in Germany (locals and immigrants) are Christians while the remaining 40% are spread over 1000 different religions.

Nigeria has 521 languages, with no single ethnic group over 38%. There's no majority of ANY idea in Nigeria.
Christianity nor Islam do not control above 45% of religious ideas.
There's nothing that brings 51% of Nigerians together, maybe football though.

Same old excuse.
Unity is not natural!
There is no reason why two towns even
with the same language should have one leader or government
when they could have two different kings bickering over resources.

But smart people have realized that the human
society will never progress with infinite divisions
fueled by senseless ego fights.

No country is originally homogenous or voluntarily formed, they are all
a result of forcing different recalcitrant people
under one authority and abolishing the advantage of
seeking autonomy.

You've not stated how he raped you all I am seeing here is relationship gone sour.

Tactical blackmail to get the normal lady sympathetic Favour in sexual related cases.

Maybe she was taken the man for a fool, collecting goodies from him and keep on postponing pay back time. Every worker is hoping for his wages at the end of the day, people should know that there is nothing like free gift, for every gift a price is attached to it.

Is that how you raped your exes in revenge?
You surely belong to an asylum.

Lalasticlala, this is a good topic for front page. The truth is , Black Africans tend to practice black witch craft and study have shown that majority of them make use of these animals.

But that's a lie. I watched the video LIVE Jim was manifesting demons when the power of God touched hi . The dons were even speaking trough him on live TV. Until he was delivered . The video is there na.

You don't wear his shoes!
TB is known for manipulating people for cheap publicity
so I am not surprised.
