Guys please always be very careful when driving, especially on Lekki Epe exp way.

There's an Uber driver who hit someone around Marwa lastnight. According to him, the person is crossing and he couldn't see him but he knock him down.

Both him and the corpse are currently in Lagos Island hospital. I couldn't upload the voice note here but the driver is in custody.

It's sad that we don't have working system in our country imagine all those crazy fellow crossing under covered pedestrian bridge from Phase 1 to Ajah they don't use pedestrian. And also, from Custain to Maryland down to Ketu, they never use Pedestrian bridge.

I'm feeling for the young guy now Police go use am chop.

Well nobody can be too careful but God will continue to protect us and our family. May God help the uber guy in any condition he's currently in.

#stay safe

Wait for it, the law is coming for you

I gave you instances of the kind of backwards mentality the common citizens of our society possess because of religion.

Our religious beliefs is the main reason we choose to pretend like these things aren't happening.

Because a majority of our population identify as Christians or Moslems, religions which outrightly forbids those two things, we can't solve these societal problems.

Religion forbids sex before marriage, but since man is an advanced animal that is biologically and genetically engineered to have sex without an impulse towards reproduction, we feel guilty when we do what our body was programmed to stand we can't even talk about it openly.

donjazet:
Nothing is wrong with this statement. As a matter of fact, it is one of the best statements in the bible.

But I ask you; what about the terrible parts and laws of the Bible?
What about the part that says rapists must marry their victims? or the parts that encourages slavery( a part used by Christians to justify slavery)?, the part that commands the killings of unbelievers.
The parts that promote bloodshed and violence?

What about those parts? You see that you are choosing to cherrypick the good part of the Bible you believe is good.

What about those that choose to enforce the very terrible aspects of this same bible?

I think he is rich enough already.

donjazet:
You yourself have clearly not been following the argument.

I said earlier today that religion was one of the major problems of our society alongside tribalism and corruption.
Teejay supported the statement by saying we needed more irreligious freethinkers and philosophers in the society, only for senkafor to reintroduce the lazy and stealing argument again.

Nobody says that religion leads to stealing.
No. It leads to much worse. A hypocritical and mentally backwards society.

A society that loves to pretend and close it's eye to its problems while it's citizens continuously turn on themselves on the basis of religion amid other factors.

simonjassy:
well,the abovr statement made by me,was from jesus's father bro!.Is jesus greater than yahweh?.

tojahh:
Those Days I for don dey position for Admiralty way dey chop Rice and Head of fish, once ride enter, head of fish stays in the booth till we meet to part no more

simonjassy:
well,i have read the christian holy book,and there are instances where yahweh permits the children of israel to kill people on the premise of religious differences

donjazet:
Religion promotes nepotism and fosters disunity in our society.

When we say that religion is one of the major problems in our society, you guys automatically think only towards the government. As if it is not human beings extracted from our society that constitutes the government.

When we say religion is one of the basic problem we have in our society, we are talking about how religion affects the basic social, psychological and mental makeup of it's citizens.

Religion twists the mindset and judgement of its citizens negatively hence you have a very dysfunctional society. You have a society of judgemental hypocrites.

For instance, IN our country, we can't even entertain the idea of legal abortion, but we have millions of girls who have carried out illegal and dangerous abortions.
We live in a country where virgins before marriage is almost nonexistent, where guys and girls start having sex (which is a natural biological impulse) once they have attained puberty and rather than the society being very open about sex and it's after effects, everybody chooses to turn a blind eye to this social dilemma.
Nobody talks about sex education in the schools or thinks of legislating safe abortion methods.

Instead, we delude ourselves that we have a higher moral standard than the societies that chose to be open to these ideas and face it head on.

odizeey:
Kindly point out where I said so.

When sowore came out to do revolution now, did you go?

When tuface attempted to do a protest did you book your spot?

The lamenting has become too much. You guys don't do jack but come to Chelsea thread to disturb.

Please, football is back. Let's clear road for Chelsea loss tomorrow.

mrjaydee:
Chai those days when I hear " gbim gbim" uber ride request.

Immediately chat the rider up.. if I see the the in app messages dont deliver or delivers and rider doesn't read and calls me.. I dont start the trip asap especially if na surge trip.. no time

simonjassy:
I cannot categorically say yes or no to this.But these set of people vlaim they derive their morality from their books..if these same people who form the bulk of thre majority of Nigerians,are "corrupt and lazy" as seanokafor puts it.[s]It is either something is wrong with their holy books or they don't believe in the holiness of their books[/s].

mrjaydee:
Na you teach me oo

mrjaydee:
this scenario happens frequently while I was still driving. I will just tell the person * presses phone* done the money is in your "uber account"

Or those people that will order for a ride and then take you through like 3 stops and still ask for you to pause the trip.

Rider: please pause the trip lemme quickly buy something

Me: oh ok " presses phone" done

simonjassy:
what you say seems to be true on the surface,but when closely examined falls like a pack of cards.Do you realise most Nigerians today claim they get their morality from their religion?.If that is indeed true,how then can you say that "our corrupt and lazy mentality" is the cause of our backwardness,when the people derive their morality from their holy books

paroh137:

Skimpledawg:
I just tire.

seankafor:
guy one thing is to talk another thing is to put it into practice..

All these yearns without end result is just bullshits..

I used to think am smart when I used argue endlessly about these religious stuffs.

These things are utter bullshits on my own..

Religion is not the cause or our backwardness.. it's our corrupt and lazy mentality.. nothing to do with religion bro..

Y'all should focus more on how to better the lives around you and leave out things you can't control to control itself.
