Omor
The Chinese language has never sounded so funny to until now.

And people understand all these?

Fake drugs everywhere.
Nigeria is just laboratory for testing all kinds of fakes.

Add to that our propensity for corruption, quacks and insensitive government.

Nigeria is just the hell on earth. No wonder men have the lowest life expectancy rate in the World.

Lovelink1991:
Don't use this mindset to enter some of the places you mentioned else you will have yourself to blame.

I have been to all these, and I know they are all fake. But that's a talk for another day.

If at all I should visit any of these places again, it will only be for nostalgia. I will still show respect to the people in there.

Church? Mosque? Shrine? Temple?

It's all formalities!

Either ways, we are still too obsessed with all kinds of religion and rituals.

This is appetizer na!
Abeg getaaat!!!!

Hussein035:
If the same werey has been asked to become 2nd wife Christians will complain Islam is backward

She can rest in hell

There's no where in the report that says she's not a married woman! Married Muslims watch porn too.
There is no religion, creed, or law that can change human nature. Religion is just a suit we wear to pretend we are not what we are: Human through and through.

Love800:
Brandy the goddess of music!

So where will you put J,Lo

I don't about JLo, but I know Brandy's always been my all time favourite musician.

In all honesty, I think she has modest demands.
The only part I have issues with is about not being ambitious.
She's not bad looking either, even though I can't particularly call her a beauty.
A little too shapeless for me, but overall, her demands are actually generous, to be honest.

I love a woman who knows what she wants.

Extrazee:
It is finished. The Nigeria we used to know is gone.
We now import artistes whose careers ended decades ago because we cannot afford the newer ones.

Look. This one is specially for people like us who literally worship Brandy.
I will do anything to go see her this December.

Oh God, if Brandy, the goddess of music is coming, I am so so going to see her.
One of my biggest dreams is to see Brandy.

Nah.
They should free the innocent man.

Arrest everyone else who still follow him.

I will always blame the fuls who choose to follow people like this.
What a shame!

My biggest sadness is that the worst victims are the innocent children.
Some parents need to neutered or sterilized.

I actually pity you already.
The fact that that you think anyone has the right or power to actually decide for another what their best life is.
I said living HER best life, NOT living THE best life.

Your own choices (especially with the opportunities life gives you) tells me what you consider to be your best life.
So stfu.

ayusco85:
Shallow mind thinking. If you think this is the best life one can live then I pity your poor soul.

Living her best life.

Enjoy!

We only live once.

Dogalmighty17:
The pastor has strong anger issues. But then again he should have known that the typical Nigerian woman is a leech and a parasite and she will do anything possible to avoid any form of responsibility.

That said, how do you as a pastor loose standing with your members that they are openly countering you in church?

Bro! I don't think that's the case here. I mean, not everything has to be explained as anger or taking offence.

I think what he did is actually wisdom. And there is no malice to it. Sometimes the best way to teach people something is to actually let them understand how wrong they are by showing them how fruitless it is to argue with them. He already made his point. This will make the ladies to sit down and actually think for themselves; and this time around they will tell themselves the truth without feeling like they are forced to accept someone else's explanation.

I wish to have his kind of wisdom. I am very sure he will still come back to talk to them about this. And I am also sure his members understand quite well that he's not offended or angry. He's just giving them the chance to think about their choices on their own. You don't give people sense, you only help them grow it for themselves. For him, it is not about winning a debate or forcing your own view. It is about letting them think about why he thinks they are wrong. And if they truly respect him as their pastor, they will think about it.

God forbid bad thing.

I am like Tom Cruise.
Once you are above 26, you are out of my radar.

As much as I do not like the language (I think it sounds ridiculous), learning it will be fun.

It is good to see other nationalities trying to learn something outside their comfort, although it's mostly for business.

Yoruba to the World.
Nigeria to the World.

Yeah, the first time I saw this was in Kaduna.
This man has a library with a large collection of books up in his house terrace. They gather every Wednesdays and Sundays to discuss a book and review it. It's an exclusively members-only club, and they are all rich people.

The second time I saw something like this was in Minna. This man has a huge library of religious books, scriptures and commentaries in his house. He converted a three bedrooms bungalow into a library. We usually gather every weekend to discuss any topic. It is a non-partisan inter-religious gathering of motley people which includes professors, undergraduates, pastors, islamic teachers, professionals, artisans and everyone in-between: whether Muslim, Christian, Atheist and traditionalist. We even had a Buddhist. In all, we were about 25.

We usually gather on Weekends or public holidays to discuss a topic that was chosen the previous weekend. We play badminton, cook some food and make a bonfire in the evening to discuss while making barbecue. It was really fun.

Before I left Minna, almost all of them converted to Christianity. I became atheist.

I have always (ALWAYS) been against the whole idea of Brideprice and Marriage list.

It is a foolish and outdated tradition, but nobody seems to see it. So whenever I say it, I know I am alone.

If I pay a kobo for a woman, then we are NOT partners; I am the boss of her. Fullstop.

Ellen Degeneres

Why are we doing this to ourselves.

Is our craze for easy money worth flushing down our dignity?

We are just too dvmb for our own good, and it is just sad.

Nah!
That's like simply replacing one sort of bondage with another.
Not me.

Both Christianity and traditional religions are the same load of hogwash.

I choose science. If it cannot be explained using mathematics or scientific deductions, count me out. Numbers never lie; people do.

What even is the deal with these people?
The girl is still legally married to her man.

As bitter as it may seem, there's still nothing better for her (or any married woman at all) outside her matrimonial home.
Besides, the girl lacks nothing in her husband's house.

Choose your battles carefully. Never make yourself enemies carelessly on behalf of anyone, especially a couple.

Exactly!
People always acting like it is a crime to be born into money. Davido's always been the target of this rotten mindset in Nigeria.


Sometimes you just have to give them back the same way they give you.

If e vex you, go slap your papa.

Davido dey give me joy abeg.
People want to always use this useless excuse of his father having money to undermine his achievement.

As much as I love Erigga, I fully support Davido on this one.

No be them say mek our papas no guide.

And stop the hypocrisy. We all know that we always refer to Davido whenever we talk about 'fathers money' in the music industry.

Some even go as far as calling him 'frog voice' to mean that he could never have made it with his voice if not for his father's money. As if Burna Boy, Tekno and others have better voices.

Davido is just like Messi. He's the undebatable greatest, but everything he does is scrutinized and criticized, and even attributed to his father's money.

Lucifyre:
This is so laughable, if there were any evidence for christian beliefs they wouldn't need to stoop low to all these dramatic shenanigans. Like most "atheist" to christain "conversions" - not saying there are no real ones btw, they're not as common as these SM drama - the story and reason behind it is most times flimsy. It also usually contains nonsense positions an atheist would most likely never hold, just as this video.

You hear nonsensical takes like "I didn't have enough faith to be an atheist anymore", "I just hated god" - you hate what you don't believe in? "I couldn't continue believing something came from nothing" - an ignoramus on here spouted this one, "I just wanted to sin and do drugs" - what even is sin to one that holds no belief? "I just liked mistreating people" Like what... it's a caricature of what christains think an atheist view is so they spout the nonsense to make their conversion stories dramatic - this dude's even a poor actor.

You grew up in a christain home and got apathetic to the whole thing before coming back?! "I was an atheist" - certainly not an apatheist, you were a xtain but life's circumstances made you disillusioned with your beliefs so much so you hate the concept of god?! "I was an atheist" - certainly not a misotheist. So an "atheist" wakes up one morning and decides to "pretend to believe in a god" - what does that even mean?

Pretend to believe in which of the gods - why not ishtar or Vishnu? Did he throw a dart to pick one at random to play pretend or did he pick one of the dominant ones from his geographical location which just happened to be real after playing "pretend". No tangible evidence convinced said "atheist" of this particular god, save for nictotine addiction. Which he claimed was suddenly gone yet he had withdrawal effects with nightmares - Yhwh sent you nightmares to show he's real? Lol

Was already reading the bible for 3 months prior to playing pretend to believe in the god of the bible and just covieneintly had to record the process for social media. Had already chosen a god out of the many before playing pretend yet was an "atheist" - why not the Quran or Baghavad Gita. Then the most explicable thing it did to him that gave him evidence to convert was that it made him "kinder to strangers". There's a reason stuff like this is popular with a certain kind of people.

This is brilliant.
Thank you for saying what I couldn't.
It's just ridiculous.

I am a complete opposite.
I am a touchy-feely person.
I love getting hugged and touched
by both men and women.

I never initiate the touching though.
If you touch me, or look me straight in the
eyes while talking to me, then you've got me.

And if you happen to be my girl, I will
practically sleep on your body.

I did not watch the video, but the post seem to be describing me, although I never really fell off completely. I was always in the top 5 in my class even in my university, but I always knew I wasn't giving my best. I can actually relate to what you wrote.

One major problem with us is that we tend to spiritualize everything. I am only glad I later found my way though, and I got some supports from some intelligent friends along the way.

RandDigital:
Someone once mentioned the words "fantastically corrupt" nation of "particular concern" 🤔🤔🤔

You come in 2 weeks before final and win, grab prizes, leave cow-ntry, no contractual obligations, no noise, live happily ever after in SA. 🇳🇬💩💩💩

Yep!
Colin Powell, US Secretary of State.
Man knows what he's saying!

Nobody is Special!
Some have one or two privileges, but life still happens to us all.

Having some guts and having great friends is better than any certificates you might get in any Nigerian University, but never underestimate the power of education.

There is nothing like predestination. Your destiny is what you make it. It's all in your hands.

Avoid competition at all cost. Live your life and savour every moment. You will pass this route only once. Love, cry, laugh, smile, enjoy nature and avoid anything at all that will restrict or hold you down (prison, bad marriage, dependence on others and unnecessary risks that can maim you).

I hope you people realise that this First Born Burden rubbish is only in Igbo land and among some Southern people abi!

Nobody is responsible for any other persons life here. We have familial loyalty and mutual respect, but we do not expect one person to sacrifice their live for the sake of another.

dermmy:
America met its match this time. Na Iran matter dey give American president mental problem like this.

Nah!
America met its match decades ago, when it went to Vietnam.
Nam was a total and classical disaster.
They had little success too with Iraq.

Winning a war in the 21st century, even against tiny countries is not a walk in the park, let a lone a nuclear powerhouse like Iran.
People everywhere are more patriotic and stubborn now, except, maybe in Nigeria.

I wait to see their military take over California.
It will be glorious. It will be legendary.
It will be a sight to behold.

But they dare not bring their military anywhere close to the US.

I still like how they are treating the mad man in the White House.
