U r not intelligent,
U know why?
U dont even know where I am writing from.
If pple like u go to KSa, u wont even want to go back to Nigeria.

U went ahead to even mention things u dont even know about KSA...i pity u.
Moreover, U even could not even say anything about the other religious places i mentioned.
Yet u r prescribing research.

U need it more, bro

Isn't it funny how you talk about intelligence but cannot argue your points out without resorting to insults?

It's even more shameful that you reside in a country you barely know anything about.

These are facts. But of course, blinded by religiosity, I do not expect you to see any of that.

felixomor:
Are u better than dubai?
Are u better than saudi arabia?
Are u better than Italy that Nigerians run to?

Your assumptions are also wrong that billions of religious people are rich because religion promotes income imbalance.
Thats a fat lie.

Religion encourages income inequality. I still stand by that.

What do you even know about the Saudi Arabia you just mentioned?

The country is rich, yes, but the wealth does not trickle down to the vast majority of people. The gulf between the various socio-economic players is devastating. This in turn creates inequality.

Saudi Arabia is a rich country by a lot of yardsticks. Still, it's a terrible country. It denies citizens lots of basic rights, all in the name of religion. What good is your wealth when you cannot enjoy it fully?

You need to engage in some deep research.

felixomor:
There are millions of religious people who are doing better than you.
I hope u know?

Besides, the likes of India and China u mentioned are also religious people. Yet they succeed, because they are better at leadership.

Your desire to turn religion to a punching bag for all, is the reason why we cant see that our problem is leadership, not religion.

Sure, there may be billions even.

That's because religiosity promotes high income inequality. The high and mighty use religion as a means to keep the poor and downtrodden in line, create rosy expectations by painting a picture of hope, all while feeding fat on their resources and giving less accountability.

Religion leaves individuals less time, ability as well as the resources to think freely based on facts. It's a vicious circle of activities that saps energy out of anyone.

India and China are largely educated, the same cannot be said for largely Islamic countries where Western education isn't encouraged.

Even in Christianity, a lot of people who dedicate their lives to such activities often perform below their capacities. It often takes an extremely sharp individual to effectively combine religiosity with excellence in other social aspects that benefit the society.

I'm not saying religion is entirely bad, it's the intensity at which it is practiced that's bad.

Religion has done a lot of damage to our psyche in Nigeria.

If our people were half as zealous over education, economic and political institutions as they are over religion, even China would dream of becoming like Nigeria.

These doom and gloom predictions about the trials and tribulations that humanity will face before the apocalypse isn't helping us one bit.

People often fail to plan for the future because they feel the end is near. Some accept their low status in society because they have been led to believe that poverty is their destiny, and that they will be rewarded with everlasting joy when the world is brought to a close.

For most, life has been about the ultimate plan; and as such, they have failed to take their destinies into their own hands.

I don't really see religion as a positive social influence that could promote growth.

We have had it for a long time now, and look where it has landed us.

The fight for supremacy is now rife. Some have embarked on a conquest just to gain dominance.

A good thing doesn't fight to gain acceptance. Only a bad one is forced.

Until the day that religion encourages us to be committed to ensuring that this life is the best that it can possibly be, since it is the only life that any of us have; it still remains the opium of the oppressed, like Karl Marx opined.

As for me, I don't see any wrong in charging an institution that does not provide people’s basic needs despite being built on people's sweats. They have schools but their members lack access to education. There's plenty enough money, yet they cannot push for childcare programs for members' wards.

They should be regulated...

BetaThings:
If I posted pictures of Christians eating roasted Muslims in Jos, I would be banned
But did you read about it in your Christian-propaganda filled newspapers
Did you read about Dogo Naawa

Why do we read about Christians fighting themselves (Assemblies of God Church and Catholic Church)
Or very violent Christians security Guards at their churches
Even on Nairaland, you are inveterate in your hatred
But somehow, Christians become meek in any dispute with Muslims

Come to terms with reality
The papers are doing "God"'s work by not reporting your horrendous deeds

Christians even ate Muslims raw at the time, I'm aware of that, as I'm Jos-based.

It's the sort of insanity that accompanies crises of such humongous proportions. They were both mad, just, one had to prove to the other who the more insane person was. It's sickening!

On the issue of Christian infighting, even twins do have their own differences occasionally. And like the true brothers that they are, they always settle their differences with no loss of lives, property, or risk to social security.

My question to you is, why does anything that involves you people ends in bloodshed?

alfarouq:
Most people don't know what's happening and they don't care to know as long as they can bait and bash Muslims and the Hausa Fulani their self imagined enemies, they are happy to masturbate over it.
There have been white paper reports right from the days of justice okigbo lead committee to date confirming the atrocities of this southern Kaduna trouble makers but the govt right from ibb to date always think the road to peace is to sweep it under the carpet and this has resulted and encouraged the continuous cycle of violence we are experiencing.
And the media has always tried to make it out as it is the Hausa Fulani Muslims that are the opressors .
Any reasonable person will know that if really the hausa Fulani Muslims have decided to harm the Christians in southern Kaduna it would have been a done and dusted issue because the population the exposure and the strength is one sided in favor of the Muslims but the Muslim leaders and elders have always preached restraints not taking away the fact that some people who are most harmed by this evil people will not easily forgive.
One thing is for sure, if there has ever been a concerted effort by the Muslim population in kd , it would have been a done and dusted affair.

You're really a very silly somebody!

So, how many Fulanis were killed by the Southern Kaduna people that we didn't hear about?

How did they harm them? By accommodating them, you mean.

Look, Mr., not even your devil-inspired Saudi Arabia can help you claim Southern KD.

What useless restraint have they been preaching?

You blood thirsty animals never cease to amaze me!

Imagine these clowns.

You propagate hate-filled version of Islam, encourage terrorism, and deny citizens lots of basic rights, yet, you point accusing fingers in the opposite direction.

Talk about adding insult to injury!

I wonder when these lost souls will find redemption. They've long lost their senses to religiosity, or they never had any to begin with.

Religion is why the north may never be great!

Emekamex:
I dont understand why the north is still in poverty with very high level of illiteracy when they have enjoyed the highest number of political appointments over the past 100 years.
An outsider might actually think that it will the most developed part of Nigeria as their leaders have had several opportunities to make it so.

It is because the politicians are all in it for their own selfish gains. Non of them is concerned about true development.

They keep the people in abject poverty so that even their own kids will rule over them.

Nigeria entirely, ought to have been much better.

Monalisa185:
lol....for my love? Thought it was for another person's

Lol. See you o.

How cold I someone else when you are this much "my kind pesin"?

All for you, no reservation, no holding back.

kcnwaigbo:
I think the best way to avert such destruction is the equitable distribution of the wealth.You cant take 80% of your wealth from a region and give back peanuts.Worse still someone is coming online to taunt them

I'm a proponent of equitable distribution of wealth.

Can't argue again this assertion even if I tried.

kcnwaigbo:
That is exactly what such boastful comments will lead to.The fact remains that if the SS is provoked,the budget will be rendered useless as the bulk of the money for financing the budget comes from them.Why don't you ask yourself what happened to mthe 2016 budget?

I understand your point. But I believe comments like yours will only spur them to carry out dastardly acts against the state whenever they sense a particular policy does not favor them.

Such acts always lead to loss of countrymen -- which could have been avoided had they act within a lawful ambience.

Stingman:
...and when hundreds of trips of people on luxury buses come to the region in their millions, some gainful slaves will ask them to go and develop their region. Develop their region with what? Isn't that contradictory...Obsanjo is one of those...who advised such...

With whatever it was they developed the other regions, as they claim.

kcnwaigbo:
You people have started ranting abi? You forgot the road projects will be executed only if oil flows

Advocate of destruction, I hope you'll lead from the battle front and not front of your gadget!

Sealeddeal:
That's why the SW has been so supportive of one Nigeria project. They're taking larger share of oil wealth yet their urchins in Nairaland will have the got to talk

I thought you guys refer to them as slaves? How come slaves now get the larger share of the national cake?

I'd rather engage in gainful slavery (whatever that means) than fruitless bravery.

This means that they played their cards well, and it's paying off!

Monalisa185:
lol, well, i am flattered and you also seem like one of the one of the few the country needs to move forward

And bless you too...

Lol... Do not all in love, I would advice you stand in love

#season's greetings to you

Amen, thank you!

If standing makes it stronger, I will for your love. .

Seasons greetings to you too, dear.

Keep the light shining!

Dam5reey:
See you abeg no compare at all. Leeco max 2 i way better...it has the 4G RAM and 64 gb ROM..
Never compare 820 to helio P10..
What is 4G RAM on a wack chipset...

I just purchased this phone you can google it if you don't know it Xiaomi Redmi 4 pro...
Your M6 does not çome close even the battery performance...

It cost me only N45,000..

Which of the stores did you purchase yours from? I want to check out the Mi Note 2

nature2abdul:
I love the camouflage so much. But they are supposed to keep this strategy to their chest.
Others too could use this against them one day.

This is an age-old practice I believe the enemies are long aware of.

However, too much publicity is bad for business!

The NA needs to learn to keep some things off public eyes.

Monalisa185:
lol, I'm a full blooded Nigerian; D

I've been following your comments on here. You're one of the few the country really needs to progress.

God bless you real good!

If you continue like this, you will leave me no option than fall in love.

This is bad.

Those people are heartless.

It's unfortunate that the Christian elders won't stand up for their own and say enough is enough.

Imagine if this was a Muslim community; the sultan and other emirs would have long condemned it sternly.

This is getting out of hand.

ArabMopol:
Here goes my question... Among all this names u mentioned here, tell me one person among them that made it without relocating from north to South

You're too ignorant.

How could you be so unaware of what's staring at you right in the face.

They relocate to Lagos for access to a wider reach just like musicians from other southern states do.

They don't relocate to the "South" like you insinuated; they do to Lagos, like musicians all over Nigeria do.

There are more musicians who made it in the north without going to Lagos than there are those that did staying put in their southern states.

Gaddafithe2nd:
The first time I watched Classiq's interview a year ago on cool tv, that guy is intelligent. He speaks fluently. During the interview, he said he moved to Lagos because of the market. Classiq and morell are good rappers. I will make sure I download other guys music.

That's quite true. Most of those guys are well educated. I think Classiq's dad is either a professor or lecturer at ATBU Bauchi.

It's a shame some Nigerians barely know anything about the country. All they do is stereotype.

ercel:
For fresh job seekers - broaden. Once you find the job you love to do - specialize.

Gbam!

EmekaBlue:
I didn't know Hausa have this kinda music...OK..not bad

Hahahahhaha. You're funny, man.

They do sing good music. They just lack the necessary airplay.

Nice one!

One love!

frank202012:
Aboki sorry una rap more than eminem nd dr dre put together

Lol. You're funny though.

But those guys do real real good music.

They just don't have as much access to marketing as Lagos based acts do.

To make it in naija, you have to go all the way down to Lagos. That's why a lot of these folks aren't known in some parts of the country.

Try this.

EmekaBlue:
U mean those mai-suya mai-ruwa dem kinda rap...taah..only for abooki ears plz

No, he meant real classy bars.

Here, for your ears only. Listen and confess!

[color=#E42217] He might have a Yoruba friend or it's just the work of Google translate. ... [/color]

Whatever the case, I'm ashamed he could speak these words better than I.

It's quite refreshing!

Lol.

Footballers' cribs make me salute Nigerian architects.

All that money, yet the houses are just there.


A $5m worth house in naija cannot look as bland as most houses up there.

And some of these houses were designed by some of the world's most renowned architects.

John Terry, Rooney, and Messi's look great though. Messi's in particular, is an architectural masterpiece.

Drogba's house seems more like wasted millions.

Their money, their choices. I'm glad for their successes all the same.

So what will they protest against?

Corruption scandal?

Nonpayment of salaries and allowances?

Or protest to get a democratically elected president out?

Nigeria's problems are too numerous to mention. Plus, things aren't good right now, but embarking on a protest is a no no.

This is the time when all hands should be on deck to pull the country out of recession. I feel that the president and his team have not done enough in this regard.

But in a country like Nigeria, protests could turn to bloodshed. And as usual, lots of anguish will trail such incidents, leaving tongues wagging, and minds suspicious.

Protests aren't bad, but timing is everything.

Sealeddeal:
Dirty Abuja.

biaframustcome:
Is this the so called Abuja?

Tufiakwa

Your ignorance is legendary.

Travel, nbanu.

Receive sense, for where.

Have you guys been programmed to be negative all your lives?

Tufiakwa!

Your people are the majority there. Should the government begin demolition so as to upgrade it to Abuja standard, it's those same lame fingers you'd use to scream (type) "blue murder!" Igbos are being targeted out of jealousy, bla bla bla.

Nawao!

All I see are pancakes!

Hungry, someone?

stinechykee:
Mr man just shut that thing you call mouth.If you can take time re-read wat you post you will find out that you are such a fool and nonentity Afonja.You want we Igbos to detached ourselves from your zoo country wen it was you people who actually doesn't want us to detached ourselves.How many times have we tried to leave Nigeria but you palasite keep on pulling us back definitely there was something unique you foolish zoo found in us Igbos just as your lord Obasanjp said dat Igbo's are Unique, Industrious,Enterprenual,etc

There's definitely something unique about some Igbos.

But people like you are bland AF. Can't add value to your own family let alone your community.

Put simply, you're useless AF!

modsmustdie:
They have done a lot and still doing alot... have you heard of massob, ipob, etc... they are demanding for biafra... I expect you to start detaching yourselves from Igbos... you cowards should start championing a separate country too..

I said credible thing. I didn't ask to list miscreants.



Frustration kills.
