Everything that's been said, written or discovered about God has been purely human efforts. No more.

God spoke to individuals, talked from the skies to multitude of people, used people to perform incredible miracles like: splitting of the moon, parting of the red sea, making animals talk,killing first born of Egyptians, flooding the entire earth etc etc. All these were written down by people when there was no other means of keeping records.

Today, we got video cameras. We got powerful audio recorders and photo cameras many times sensitive and powerful than the human eyes.

Question: Why is it that everything written in religious books about God and his prophets suddenly stopped after humanity developed audio- visual means of record keeping?

Nigeria has a bad economy because we sell our resources rather than use them to make industrial products we can export.

Has been that way since independence.

The problem with that is that the price for our resources is always not high enough to earn a revenue that can sustain us, which is why we end up taking loans (and we have been taking loans for decades.)..when the price is too low to sustain us.

Running an economy selling raw materials encourages people to use the revenue to import...meaning not enough industries...meaning job creation is bad, meaning that people compete for the very limited government jobs available (which is why we have so much inordinate focus on which tribe gets which jobs from the lowest to highest...and why we have federal character)

As for corruption, when the money from governance is not coming directly from taxes...but from selling the resources and sharing the money, he who controls the sharing of the money has a lot of power...which explains our civil war , two failed attempts at democracy, the bad religious crisis, the ethnotribal crisis, and even the class war. And a lot of corruption. And a lot of the fighting for president, governor, even local dog catcher. It also explains why hundreds of people died and were displaced in 2011, why we had two pogroms in 1966, and before that why the South west was burning in 1965...because he who controls the sharing controls a lot of things...including who benfits from the crumbs.

That's why someone like me does not like APC, PDP, or any of the parties, or the power brokers in Nigeria. They are not ready to change the current way we do things. Even when it was clear it wasn't working.

Subsidy is not a tax, not as practiced in Nigeria

Basically, a subsidy is what you pay to compensate the oil industry for selling fuel below the cost of what it takes to produce one liter of petrol from crude.

The problem is, overtime the cost of refining fuel rises, meaning you have to pay higher and higher to subsidize it. And no matter how you try you cannot cover the resulting loss. Which is why many countries that subsidies have problems funding refinery repair or new refinery projects (Nigeria, Venezuela and even Iran are good examples)

Here in Nigeria, subsidy comes from the revenue we earn from selling crude oil , which is never high enough for our needs because of our large population. SO we have to use a rising amount of money to pay for subsides, instead of paying for education, health, etc. (The money we spent on subsidy in one year can enroll 1 million Nigerians on NHIS). Meanwhile, falling oil prices make matters worse.

And because we don't have enough refining power at home...because of subsides chopping any money that would have been spent on refineries if there was no subsidy...we keep on pouring even more and more money.

Since 1993, NIgeria has been warned severally to remove subsides. Each time, the people have said no.
