How is traditional religeon better than Christianity, what are the benefits?

Converting people away from their culture is wrong. Not to talk of issuing threats to unbelievers. God gave us our cultures and with it spirituality and not religion. Traditional spirituality is scientific because it uses divination which can be taught to anybody unlike religious prophets that hear voices in their heads and use it to cause problems.
Religion ie Christianity and Islam is not compatible with the progress of humanity. It was not created by God. What God created a long with language and etc is traditional spirituality. As humanity we have to trash religion

You are funny.
Why is south east the only region with only 5 states? While other regions have 6 and 7 states?...this means less representation in the senate and house of reps. Less allocation from the Federation account. E.t.c
Why is no refinery sited in the southeast despite having the most viable crude oil?
Why do south east children need to score 150 to gain admission into unity schools while the some part of the North only need to score 9?
Why is it that when criminals kill any security personnel in the southeast the army will retaliate by killing innocent people and burning down villages and towns but does not deploy the same strategy for other parts of the country.
Why does the southeast the most policed and most militarized region in Nigeria?
Why does southeast states receive the least allocation from the Federation monthly allocation

Make I stop here first.
The good thing is that the present generation of Easterners don't want to just seat and complain, they don't want to just complain, they are tired of being victims.

Let us be realistic. Why should SE have six states? Lagos or Kano have more population than the SE. The SE is the least populated zone and the next zone NE after it has like 170 percent of it's population. If 55 million people in the SW have six governors and eighteen senators while 23 million people in the SE have five governors and fifteen senators, who has been shortchanged?. If you want to know the population check the publicly available NIN registration data. On a per Capita basis the SE has the highest number of states in the country and thereby the highest representation in government made so by the military.
The SE is around ten percent of Nigeria's population and they should ordinarily have ten percent of whatever is being shared in the country including states, ministers and etc but I believe states should be given on demand but they should not be made equal.
The revenue of a state is indicative of the population and in a fair country it should determine representation in government

blueAgent:
You are really confused.

Are there no killings in traditional religeon?

You are the confused one. How many jihads ?how many crusades? How many threatening unbelievers with eternal damnation?

Always have an address when doing business. All Alagbos should learn from her

blueAgent:
Bla bla bla.

The last time I checked Ogun and most western states in Nigeria still practice their traditional religions and the outcome is Skull minning .

Joker.

You can't reduce traditional spirituality where God is packaged as a gentleman father of all non discriminatory etc to skull mining.
Religion has only come to divide humanity and portray God as a brute. Killing over God is a novelty of religion

VeeVeeMyLuv:
My dear the matter is tiresome
Can you believe that almost every Northerner in their hearts secretly want this open grazing to continue not for milk and meat production purpose

But for political power
For their ethnoreligious supremacy agenda.
They believe that as they trample farmlands, they dominates, are in control.



This ministry of Livestock was established July 9th 2024 coupled with the multi billion dollar investment from Brazil on the Ministry,
Yet This minister, a PHD holder still hasn't ended open grazing! All talk no action.

BiG SHAME

I don't really think most Northerners want open grazing to continue. The killings, kidnapping, rape and etc are not only in the South

Beheading people for idolatry in 2025!

Ofodirinwa:
While I respect what you're contribution and somewhat agree, Norway has the population of Imo State. Their strategies won't apply on a national level

Why do you think it can't work for a big country?

There is a need to carry the herders along, call them to meetings and tell them their method of animal husbandry is not compatible with human civilization. If you have 200 cows you should be able to afford two vehicles for hay gathering then station your cattle somewhere there is water.

Norway and the USA (Building a classless society)

The USA produces almost ten times the crude oil produced by Norway.
Norway is not as mineral rich or agricultural land rich as the USA on a per Capita basis.

Norway has a policy of saving all their crude oil earnings in a sovereign wealth fund and the money is invested in companies all over the world.

One can say if the US had adopted this policy they would have had more than ten times the savings Norway has in a sovereign wealth fund today in their own sovereign wealth fund.

Norway's fund is now worth around two trillion dollars.

All nations should have a sovereign wealth fund and all nations should license pension funds and make it compulsory for workers, with the pension funds investing in different companies anywhere possible so that every worker can also be an investor. There are only two real classes of people in any economy. The worker and the investor. Pension funds can make sure we all belong to both to effectively make the nation classless.

We need sovereign wealth funds that will keep governments involved in the economy. There is no sense in shutting the government or any entity for that matter out of profit making. Last year the Chinese government made over 200 billion dollar profit from it's investments.
We also need pension funds to involve each worker in investing and thereby create a classless economy.

Fenrir:
Like ive said before to a few other people, you can believe the sun shines out of your rectum but that doesn't mean its true. You believe you were adopted by a US president and everyone knows thats a lie.

The lie is believing communism can only come from a command economy. In any case, they tried and they failed.

Fenrir:
Please go and talk to your spirit because you have no idea what you are talking about. Communism will always fail.

😊 I believe in FREE MARKET COMMUNISM

Fenrir:
lawanl, think of Norway’s system like Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend. In Alaska, every citizen gets a small check each year from oil profits. That money comes from the state’s oil resources, but it doesn’t control your life. You still work, spend, or save it however you want. It’s a way of sharing the wealth so everyone benefits from a natural resource that belongs to the people.

Norway does something similar, but on a much larger scale. Instead of just giving a yearly dividend, Norway collects oil profits and invests them in a sovereign wealth fund. That fund is huge, trillions of kroner, and the returns from it pay for universal health care, free education, infrastructure, and pensions for everyone. Every citizen benefits from this collective wealth, but people also still earn money through work, run businesses, and own private property.

So you can think of it like this. Alaska gives a slice of the pie each year. Norway takes the whole pie, grows it, and uses the returns to make life better for everyone, while still letting people live freely and work in a free market. The principle is the same. Share the country’s natural resource wealth with everyone. The difference is scale, scope, and how much the state invests in public services.

This helps you understand Norway isn’t some USSR-style command economy. It’s a free market with strong social benefits funded by collective resource management just like Alaska, but bigger and more sophisticated.

I am not saying Norway is a Soviet style command economy. They are not. I mean if communism is a no one left behind system as the idealists planned then Norway is getting there via the free market route. I am the only one saying that though.
The problem is that people think you can only achieve communism via the command economy route

RepoMan007:
All what you are proferring as solutions requires money and where will the money come from?
They unlike Nigeria, do no have oil to fall back on. They took huge loans but wasted them on unproductive things that is hard to tax the general populace on. Things like small roads at inflated cost.

Look at buhari, He built rails through his village but can his village people patronize that rail well enough to cover the repaymentt, now how will someone from faraway Abia or Osun feel if he is asked to repay that loan used to fund the rail that isnt serving his community.

If you increase minimum wage in order to tax it, that does not require money and no one will complain since it is rub my back I rub yours for minimum wage earners and government

Fenrir:
No, because taxes "the population" fund it, where do you think the government get the money? By pulling it out of their backsides? No, they tax the population.

Even in the old USSR, they didn't pull money from thin air. The people still funded themselves. Taxes being used to fund government is not what makes socialism different from capitalism. Who controls the economy is what makes the difference.
The SWF of Norway is a feature of socialism and in my opinion Norway has almost achieved communism via the free market route.
Basically, what is left for Norway is pension funds which can make all workers an investor-worker hybrid.

ViceGovernor:
What is the average minimum wage in Europe sir?
What is the standard of living of a person living in Europe?
What is the security situation of a person living in Europe?
What is the average life expectancy in Europe?
What is the average infrastructure rate in Europe, transportation, housing units etc.
Whay is the the monetary value of goods and services produced in European countries.......now compare all those indices to Nigeria, mind you Nigeria's population is far greater than any European country.

Since 1960 all the taxes our grandparents and parents have been paying, is the value of those taxes visible in the country today?

When we talk about taxation it implies GIVING and TAKING.
The government will give you an enabling environment to make money and you will in turn pay a certain percentage to them.....for various services provided.......our government has been providing negative services to us, for the past 10 years and it is getting worse, employment is 0, security -20, inflation and other aspects of the economy is -10.....tell me why on God's green earth i should be encouraged to pay taxes to such a government?

Churches are under attack all over the country, the government did not provide security or an enabling environment/ infrastructure but they are coming with two hands to take steal from churches and businesses, if that is not voodoo economics/politics I don't know what is.

If any European country has our population they would be number 1 in the world....don't ever make the mistake of drawing comparison between Nigeria and European countries....cat and tiger no fit be the same.

So Nigeria don't have rich people? Every country is a mix of rich and poor people. Most people in Europe don't have one month rent in savings.
What is important is to fix minimum wage high enough to be taxed and make all employers comply.
The things that make a country good require the joining of hands together via taxes

Fenrir:
Finally a Nigerian actually complimenting my country but in completely the wrong way thats "social care" not communism, its funded by high taxes and everyone chipping in equally.

And all of Scandinavia does it not just Norway.

Norway has a sovereign wealth fund held for the people by the government. That is more of socialism as if they were the USSR. Other Scandinavian countries don't.
I see them (Norway) as approaching communism via the free market route.
I have been complimenting Norway for years

No group has ever claimed to achieve communism. They have all been trying to achieve it via socialism.

There can be free market communism. If you have a system where nobody is left behind where there is universal health care and education and welfare for all, it would still be communism even if it is a free market economy. The end justifies the means. When the whole community rises together with no one left behind, that is communism.

In my opinion, Norway is the closest to it on Earth today. They have a huge sovereign wealth fund, universal health care, high taxes, free education etc and they are a welfare state

kpankpangolo:
Tariffs are called what? I’m on MTN’s Xtracool tariff. I know I pay more or less compared to those on MTN’s Pulse tariff. Customer segregation is the way to go. DStv has it with their many bouquets. Nigerians who love to call themselves “poverty riddled” use GOtv; another Multichoice product.

In those examples you gave, they don't migrate you, you migrate yourself. I don't see why there should be segregation when it is the same power with no difference

ViceGovernor:
Since the devilish satanic demonic ungodly taxation policy will not be affecting peeps like you sir, I don't expect you to give a meaningful opinion on it.

I won't be wasting time arguing with you.

You want to be like Europe but in Europe half of their GDP go to taxes

ViceGovernor:
Are you a Christian, Traditional worshiper or a moslem sir?

I believe in the way of my ancestors. I don't do religion. My ancestors never did religion.

ViceGovernor:
Wetin consign me with mosalasi?

My business is the church of God that they're trying to tax..... taxing the GO of any church is the same as taxing the church don't let the semantics hoodwink u.....do the pastors have businesses they operate? The answer is capital NO, most of them are full time pastors they dedicate their life to God's work and they survive wholly on the goodwill donations from members who already pay multiple taxations on already taxed items.

You can't separate the church from the pastors or the mosalasi from alfa those two go hand in hand.....how do you steal from people who live off the donations of others?
They may as well go to IDP camps and also steal from the people there..... useless reckless.

Instead of de-escalating the religious tension around the country the now disgraced government of Nigeria is trying to pour more petrol on an already out of control fire 🔥.

If workers of Amnesty international are being taxed, why not workers of churches who spread the gospel not be taxed?. They spread the gospel saying a Jew died for all your past, future and present sins two thousand years ago!.

Happy birthday to Barbara Bush Jr

Happy 44th birthday to Barbara Bush Jr. She was held down for me by a birth prediction. Therefore she was waiting for me before she knew herself or me. She entered my life in 2000, put there by her parents and grandparents
Since she entered my life, I have never felt alone in my battles. I feel secure and full.
I wish her many more years in excellent health and prosperity and all the good things of life.
I wish Jenna her twin sister the same thing. May God bless and be with them.

If you employ anyone in your establishment you must file PAYE returns. What you may not pay is corporate tax if you are a non profit or a company that did not make profit. In a well run country employees of NGOs pay income tax

Fejoku:
Do you know why Ebira weren't added in Southern Nigeria even when they had a masquerade culture? I know you don't know. I repeat, the Yorubas had no tangible relationship with Ebiras before the European powers shared Africa.

Gbonka the man that drove out Alaafin Sango from the capital was Ebira

Religion is a set back for humanity. The next best thing to not adopting religion is to adopt two opposing religions in equal proportions for them to cancel out.
I would have preferred the Yoruba not to adopt religion like the Japanese and Chinese who stayed in their traditional paths but fate ensured the Yoruba adopted the two religions in equal proportion as cure for each other.
To be hybrid is better than sleeping with all your heads in one direction

LLMG:
The world is wiser now and is watching closely, it's a question of time, thanks to radical muslims for exposing real Islam to the world, let's see where their joke of a mission will take them to.

The obsession to convert people from their culture is wrong. How religionists describe God is wrong. Terrorism starts from saying God is burning innocent people in hell for unbelief. If we want peace then Islam and Christianity must be restricted to private spaces

Nijaforward:
Nigerians need accountability please….did you pay the ransom and if not Nigerians will love to know and see the mastermind of the abduction

They probably paid no ransom. Some highly placed people obviously directed them to release the captives

So said the indigenes of Mecca about Mecca
The way out is to ban the public practice of Islam and Christianity

Fejoku:
Ebira people really tried to resist the Fulani jihad of the 1800s. They fought and resisted but the Fulanis were joined by the Yoruba and Nupe Muslims until the Ebira resistance was defeated. What you now have are an Ebira muslims with pent up anger. They are more fanatical than anyone you can think.
However, Ebiras are known to be a very bold fierce and hardworking people. It's unfortunate that Islam forcefully took over their land without anyone helping them out.

Ebira today are not under an Emirate. How do you mean they were defeated or they forced Islam on them?. Kanuri are 99 percent Muslim and nobody forced Islam on them. Iwo is over 90 percent Muslim and nobody forced Islam on them

Actually people have been known to become gay as a result of going to prison where it is more common. The habit can spread if supported and promoted
