But I actually stopped believing in gender equality because after seeing the frequency which men rob, kill and keep human abbatoirs and rape their own children I don't think it's possible for the two genders to be considered equal.
It's not possible at all. One is actually better than the other.
Which gender pours hot water on house girls? (women)
Which gender gets away with molesting children? (women) ====================================== Which gender fights more as soldiers for their country? (men)
Which gender does more missionary/charity work in foriegn countries? (men)
==========================================
Both men and women can be equally evil. We see more from men because men are in power. Give women an equal chance and we would see that women are equally as good or evil.
You are fast becoming a misandrist. Please stop. You know that I've always respected you (logicboy)
KingEbukasBlog: I adduced two points as my reasons for calling Estonia an unstable country
1. Their erratic unemployment rate 2. Their poverty rate
You have 1. 3 million Estonians and there are close to 300 , 000 out of the 1.3 million who are poor . And you call me a clown . Remember when I told you that Saudi Arabia had 20 percent of its population as poor - 5.6 million out of 28.8 million and you argued ignorantly claiming that is not ok . So why is 300,000 out of 1.3 million ok while 5.6 million out of 28.8 million is not ok . Did you go to school at all

Utter balderdash ! Communism is anti-religion and atheism . Stop this pathetic show of ignorance .
You are crazy . You are deviating away from reality to accommodate your idiotic suppositions . What the heck do you know
1. With regards to employment . Its erratic unemployment rate
2. According to Statistics Estonia, in 2013, 22.1% of the Estonian population lived in relative poverty and 8% of the Estonian population lived in absolute poverty. The total population of Estonia is 1.3 million and more than 20 percent of its population are poor - that is one-fifth of the nation = 260,000 poor people .
This guy ! How many times have I explained on this forum that communism is a Marxist-Leninist ideology . Marx believed that religion is the opium of the masses while Lenin believed that religion is negative to human development . That makes anti-religion and atheism the drive of communism . Saying communist states are religious is like saying a poor man lives in a mansion .
Gosh ! Stop arguing against facts with me .
UK
UK is a Christian country - has been and will always be . Being religious is ambiguous - the level of dedication to one's faith and affiliation to a particular religion . The level of dedication to the Christian faith in the UK is low that does not mean they are atheists .
China
The Chinese are delusional if they pride themselves as an atheist state because they are indeed very superstitious . They still cling to their traditional religions . Here are the experiences of people who have lived in China
In fact Asian countries are very superstitious and still practice their traditional religions .
You lie and talk a lot of nonsense.
1) Estonia is the 30th most developed country (out of 196 countries) in the world according to the human development index. It is also a highly educated country. The poverty rate in Estonia is 18.6% according to the worldbank. The poverty rate in Nigeria is 46% while the poverty rate in the USA is 14.5% (to put Estonias 18.6 into perspective). You must be a real clown to suggest that Estonia is an unstable country.
2) Communism is a state religion. Dont believe me? Criticize the ruling party or leader in any communist state and see how you get roughed up for your blaspheming. An atheistic religion but still a religion worshiping the state.
3) You are stoooooooooooopid when it really comes to international politics and so, I wont bother to correct you on atheist numbers in Japan, UK, China, South Korea etc. Enjoy your ignorance!
I believe in miracles. Lalasticlala or the nairaland admin put forward a feminist article instead of one bashing women? This is a refreshing change.
@op,
Developed countries have realised that empowering women is good for the economy. Women are at least half of the population. How can we as africans be content if half of our population are oppressed?
seunot: Only ONE thing can happen, ABSOLUTE NEUTRALIZATION. Which obviously will lead to a MASSIVE EXPLOSION with a complete WIPING out of both entities from exsistence!
KingEbukasBlog: Estonia is very poor and unstable . North Koreans are facing harsh challenges over the kind of government they have -oppressed by their authorities . Yet they are not religious .
Stop the show of ignorance
1) You are wrong about Estonia
A developed country with an advanced, high-income economy and high living standards, Estonia ranks very high in the Human Development Index and performs favourably in measurements of economic freedom, civil liberties, education, and press freedom (third in the world in 2012).Estonia is often described as one of the most internet-focused countries in Europe.
2) North Korea is a communist country meaning that it is religious. Their religious leader is the head of the country and they worship. You can be an atheist and be religious.
Why dont you mention countries with the highest numbers of atheists? The UK? South Korea, China, Japan etc?
suzan404: To Worship The Lord,and Please,Do You Call This A Question?and besides,u can worship inside ur house if ur church is a lil bit far from your house,our God is a merciful,i'm sure he will understand.
Interesting answer.
You have a point- people can worship at home instead of wasting fuel to go to church!
On this Sunday that just passed, I drove through my former church on my way to get fuel and I noticed that the church was almost it usual attendance. The fuel scarcity had little effect on the numbers of people in the church.
This led me to wonder, why people still drive to church despite the economic hardship facing us in this country.
-Are they going to church to beg God for the thousandth time to stop the fuel scarcity- a scarcity that keeps on recurring? -Are they going to church to miraculously make fuel appear int heir tanks? -Are they going just to receive the AC in the church since there is probably no light at home? -Why dont they save the fuel in their car for work instead? -Why didnt TB Joshua and other prophets of doom predict the fuel scarcity?
This leads me to a theory about suffering. There is an argument that the hopeless turn to God or religion as a crutch. And truly, if you notice, countries that are poor or suffering are usually more religious. It seems that many need a hero, a messiah to bring them salvation from their unsolvable problems.
Honestly, why do people think it is worth it to go to church during this fuel scarcity? Hasn't God failed Nigeria enough? Nigeria keeps getting harder- no light, no fuel, no jobs, bad roads etc. Nigeria keeps sinking deeper into an abyss.

Tufanja: Lol, if you wld have studied me, u wld know I am a researcher :p
Is it love?
I never knew a love A love that could be sweeter No matter what my mind says Your music gives me fever The moment that we danced Your arms felt like a cradle And when you took my hand I was no longer able love never felt so right before i need to be with you much more i cant believe this kind of fate we can runaway
Joshthefirst: That we are against each other in infinitely aggressive arguments does not mean we are against each other in progress bloda.
In the end, we want to see progress in this country all the same, whether I am a mighty tall christian like kingebukasblog or an athletic intellectual like johnydon22 or a little squirt atheist like Logicbwoy or a guarded feminist like kay17 or an old undecided man like plaetton or a troll like sonoflucifer.
You dey mad?
I am the Alpha atheist here! All those atheists you mentioned are only there because of me. Remember when atheists had no voice here?
johnydon22: Cognitive dissonance is something i see you are quite good at, always going in circles and arguing off point when stumped.
Your argument was rubbished here.
But you had to stick to your gun shamelessly going over some meaningless babbles.
It is a known fact that "the flag comes with the cross and the moon and star sign follows arabic (islamic) propagation.
Bishop Desmond tutu even testified to this in his famous quote "When the missionaries came to Africa, we had the land and they had the bible. they taught us how to pray with our eyes closed when we opened them, they had the land and we had the bible"
Chinua Achebe painted a clear picture of how the cross led the flag and the flag nurtured the cross in the conquest of the African society.
Civilization is a consistent and progressing thing and not a mark of colonial outreach.
It can be propagated by trade and commerce relationships, and inter-tribal and communal relationships.
Nobody needs to colonize the other for civilization to encroach.
Fela once said.
"Africans think they are independent but still under colonial rule in terms of religious subordination"
An act of Stockholm syndrome, worshipping the very hand that whipped you and carried you off you land..
I wish Joshthefirst could see the truth in your comment!
Joshthefirst: Tell that to the indigenous communities that missionaries gave medicine and education to. Mtchew.
The missionaries came first to preach the gospel, Mary slessor came and abolished the killing of twins in calabar. Missionaries came before the colonialists and their cultural domination.
And by your logic if I was born in stalins regime I would be spouting the victories of an atheist state.
Missionaries came with education before the colonialists?
you do know that the British came since the 16th century but only built the first schools in the 19th century?
Joshthefirst: Selective dishonesty. Please contact me when you come up with a better argument.
If the mission work of spreading the gospel and bringing in western medicine and education and abolishing slavery and barbaric practices is defined as colonialism by you in your militant anti-religious prejudice then your case is even worse than I thought.
See the liar?
The british came since the 16th century but only brought education in the 19th century.....over 200 years before the first school in Nigeria was built.
So what were your missionaries doing before 1859 (since the 16th century?)?
Tufanja: Of course I don't know. How can you expect that of someone of who you (wrongly) think is a village girl who has never left Nigeria . I rely for all my information about the grown up world on your (mis)guiding knowledge and experience. Ahum.
