Anybody called Desmond shouldn't be allowed 3km close to the stadium for sanity and safety purpose.... As a matter of fact, he should be shot at sight so that our Super Falcons can manage to draw the Powerhouse of Female football.

8 Things The Unknown Gunmen Have Achieved

Below are 8 things I think they've achieved so far...

1. They've sent a strong message to people that hold the highest share of violence in Nigeria that violence is for everybody and no one has monopoly of it.

2. They have sent a message to the federal government that everyone has an agenda too. If your agenda is to steal money, another man's agenda may be freedom of speech and living in peace.

3. They've sent a message to men on uniform that everyone is human and the only difference is gun and extra bullet.

4. Men on uniform are angry, but they'll respect blo.ody civilians more because they are truly blo.ody now. Fear is more important than respect — in the art of war or quest for freedom.

5. Politicians will embezzle less now because their native doctors, gatemen, themselves, and their bodyguards are no longer safe. With this fear, politicians can't act like gods as they used to because they know if they do, it will get to them soon. Even if they continue to act like gods, they'll do it with a pinch of humility and they'll watch their tongues.

6. Civilians who don't have relations that wear uniform or have been harassed by men on uniform are secretly happy these things are happening, but won't tell you for fear of Pantami Effect. (Using what you said against you in the future).

7. Men on uniform that stay on the road to take bribes will not be as arrogant and confident as they used to in stopping cars indiscriminately and intimidating them. The next car that is coming may be the wrong one — the UGM guys.

8. Corp members love being posted to Lagos, PH, and Abuja. Men on uniform also love being posted to these places, especially South South and the East. Why? Lots of money to be made on the road by harassing innocent people without the government punishing them.

With this, men on uniform from the North will no longer have interest in lobbying to be posted to the East and South. This means intimidation from northern men on uniform will reduce.

War is not good, but a man who doesn't command fear, is a man who has a lot to work on.

Now, civilians in the East command some atom of fear — which is needed for peace and mutual understanding to reign. They will be cautious of how they treat civilians with all these that have happened.

I sue for peace before armed-robbers use this opportunity for robbery, but the above is what I feel has been achieved by these unknown gunmen.

These are just my opinions and observations. Don't cry and don't quote me — I won't reply


Thank you and let there be peace now.
You have said it all bro.

Dtruthspeaker:
When you put the question this way there is no difference between religion and tradition, for they are both mean the same thing which is "Regular Practice of a person or people" eg it is traditional/religious to go to club every Friday night or watch football!

But if you ask the difference between the tradition of Christianity and the tradition of the people called Custom, then there is a difference!
owky, Now I understand better.
Thanks and God Bless.
Christianity EtcRe: Difference Between Religion And Tradition. by johncallidon(op): 6:57am On May 03, 2021
MaxInDHouse:
Religion and tradition is a belief in a spiritual reality (often including at least one deity), accompanied by practices or rituals pertaining to the belief. Sadly in most cases this often comes with myths and fables that has no positive impact on the practicers of such beliefs.
Faith on the other hand is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen.
So from inception all the nations on this planet were practicing religions/traditions passed onto them by their ancestors whether it's yielding positive results or not.
But when faith arrives with the life and ministry of a first century young Jewish carpenter named Jesus of Nazareth, many right thinking persons began seeing the difference between religion/tradition and FAITH. Unlike religion/tradition that's only upheld without any positive result in the gathering of adherents FAITH began yielding positive results like LOVE JOY PEACE PATIENCE GOODNESS GENTLENESS FAITH MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL in the gathering of adherents.
However there were demons (spirits) backing up religion/tradition to keep adherents under their control so these demons in a bid to continue ruling amongst humans deliberately disguised as angels of light pretending to be working for FAITH whereas they only changed their identity, they're still the same demons backing up lies (myth) upheld by adherents of unprofitable religions/traditions.
Today God has intervened by sending a mighty spirit being to gather all obedient and faithful people under one Organization for the sake of FAITH while thousands of groups around are still practicing religion/tradition.

God said in a book called "Bible" :
In the final part of the days, The mountain of the house of Jehovah Will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, And it will be raised up above the hills, And to it peoples will stream. 2 And many nations will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah And to the house of the God of Jacob. He will instruct us about his ways, And we will walk in his paths.” For law will go out of Zion, And the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. 3 He will render judgment among many peoples And set matters straight respecting mighty nations far away. They will beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Nor will they learn war anymore. Micah 4:1-3

So to distinguish between those practicing worthless religion/tradition and people of FAITH God said we living in the last days will notice a global family of peace loving worshipers taking shape in our eyes {Matthew 5:13-16} people from different races, skin colours, languages, status, educational background and classes coming together to form one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers, they will not allow racism or politics to cause a division amongst them, they will settle all their differences, they will destroy all weapons of war, they will no more enrol in any military forces neither will they think of wars again.

This will serve as a sign that FAITH is at work in our own time and whoever want to become God's friend will join them as part of God's people! Zechariah 8:23

May you have PEACE! smiley
Amen! Thank you for taking out your time to reply my thread.

paxonel:
people commit unspeakable things in the name of tradition too, not only in religion. Infact, it has been proven tradition in religion is what has made evil pronounced in religion.

For instance, the belief that one Jesus will come and rapture people someday was an European traditional fictious belief which was carried over into African religious beliefs and it is affecting Africans negatively today. Meanwhile the Europeans have overcomed such beliefs a long time ago and they are developed today.

And why is such beliefs affecting Africans today?
If you look at it, people are not interested in fighting of their rights and live a quality life here in Africa because they believe that everything is vanity, that it is useless living quality that will be destroyed someday by the coming of rapture, so they are so scared inherently
wonderful! Now I understand.

Tradition was formed or created by men to set a standard of living and it was created by the ancestors of each ethnic groups. Religion in the other way is the standard God himself created for the safe living of his people.. There are many gods that set different standard of living for their worshippers. Example is if you have a fowl you rear, the fowl tends to live its life as it pleases but if you the owner feels that life is not good enough, you can start training the fowl on the best method you want it
Thanks alot.

Religion is nothing more than a tool that’s been used over centuries to manipulate people.. A tool of control and power... Thats why we all worship the Gods of our colonial masters... Tradition on the other hand is the ome nala of a land (Even Britain get their own tradition) it is usually transmitted from generation to generation
Thank You.

Happy Sunday to everyone of us in this forum.

Pls. Nairalanders, there has been some thing troubling my spirit and has put me in a state of confusion.

firstly, I was made to understand that Christianity was brought to us from the #WHITES And I respect that.

Secondly, Some said that Our tradition is full of diabolic things i.e Idolatry BUT looking at the evil things found in the church and how some people commit so many unspeakable things all in the name of serving the Lord. it's giving me a second thought.

NOw, my question is WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELIGION &TRADITION.

N.B: Abeg make una forgive my blunder, English no b my mother tongue.

[quote author=SmartPolician post=100379081]Let's be clear on something: Nobody promised to give you a job after schooling.

Education is designed to expand your thinking horizon so you can help yourself and community by being useful to them (yourself and local community).

Again, schools don't promise people jobs; they urge you to come and learn. Whatever you do with the knowledge is entirely your business.

[b][i]I'm sure nobody has ever told you this.

Very deep!
That's where we got it all wrong, buh The Lord is Our Strength.
