Christianity EtcMy Freedom And Your Feelings. by Martinez19(op):
In a civilised and intellectually serious society, everyone's freedom of speech doesn't end where the feelings of some people or group begin ie. your feelings aren't the limits of people's freedom of speech. Religious folks fail to realise that because they hold something sacred and in high regard doesn't mean that others should follow suit or at least regard it well enough to not criticise and scrutinise it and give negative opinions of it. Truth is, people are free to disrespect, call names and say whatever they want even if you find it disrespectful and degrading. You can be offended(that's allowed) but you are not allowed to deprive them of the right to do so neither are you allowed to impose punishment on them for making use of their freedom of speech.

People are free to use and alter the concept of religious clothing designs and symbols as they wish--- it's their freedom of expression and you can't take it any from them. The symbols, arts, religious characters and entities and clothing designs you hold sacred are not sacred to others and shall not be forcefully made sacred and respectable to them. It's okay for a prostitute to wear a nun's dress and go about her prostitution, it okay to draw Muhammad or Jesus in cartoon and alter and portray them as you like(eg. it okay to draw Jesus or Muhammad snorting cocaine and having sex, it's okay to draw blessed virgin Mary as a LovePeddler etc.), it's okay to purchase the bible, quran and any holy books to wipe your ass or sell akara etc. these are your rights and no one is allowed to punish you for it or impose it on you that you should respect and not criticise what they find sacred and respectable.

"...but Martinez, mature people respect other people's beliefs." Says who? Probably by apologist and soft skinned believers who don't like reality or perhaps, as far as religion is concerned, always want to have their way. Religious people should toughen up and realise that not everyone find sacred what they find sacred and not everyone respects what they respect. Religious people should realise that they don't have the right make their feelings and religiousity the limits of people's freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Also people are free to find sacred and respectable anything they want as long as they don't use these to limit people's freedom of speech and freedom of expression. You can be offended but your feelings of offence should never limit people's freedom of speech and expression. Toughen up!

Your heart isn't circumcised. We know. And you are canal, that means dead. Alright, you can not be able to judge anything because you are not spiritual. You are still in darkness. Whatever we say you won't be able to comprehend. You are uncircumcised. First be circumcise ,then you will see the kingdom.

I can never marry this kind of man!!
Mere looking at him,one would easily know he doesn't have the things to take care of a woman and make her the envy of all ladies!
I still insist, marriage is for financial gains..
No lady is born to suffer with a man in marriage!!
Be with a man that is ready to move heaven just to make you comfortable... Someone that is willing to go extra mile for you to have fun and spend his money anyhow!!


Probably the lady married him out of pity

What I said is the truth. Besides, you haven't responded to that confused lady in need, you've ignored her but you only responded to those who wanted to sink further in your delusion. I am sure you would have responded if she wanted to give money to you. Mtewwww.

This boils down to ignorance .... Money isn't some pieces of paper, money is ideas which helps to proffer solutions to the challenges of life.

The more problems you solve, the more money you acquire sweatlessly.


However, I agree with you to a very lil degree. Some Africans really want to read. They appreciate books just that they find it hard because of the faulty foundation
I agree your first paragraph. What I am simply saying is that the average would only read if he thinks reading will earn and secure money. Of course, there are many Africans that like to read but they are not many.

Good one op,
l love God so much that even during my primary/secondary/tertiary school days, l do everything to please him,even to my own detriment, people took that as an advantage to cheat and mistreat me because at the end of the day,l will overlook and forgive so easily because God said so,
l always long to hear him speak to me,but he never did. Rather l started speaking in tongue but l always feel empty after that,.
The thing is that people so dear and close to me,have hurt me so much that it hurts whenever l remember them,many many times l pray and tell God to give me the grace to forgive and forget,even after assuring myself that l have forgiven them the pain will still be there, imploring me to hate them .
it has killed my spiritual life and belief,l really need help,,and l don't know how to go about it,cos l feel God is partial.He doesn't hear my prayers.,l have fasted and prayed many times, even when l was pregnant, yet nothing happened
Listen young woman, you had better wise up in the way you deal with people and stop subjecting yourself to emotional abuse. First of all, religious god doesn't exist and all religions are ridiculous garbages and falsehoods with no concrete basis in reality. The so called forgiveness in the bible is foolish and emotional abusive. So if somebody rapes your child and begs you for forgiveness, you will forgive? Truth is most human beings are deceitful, opportunistic and wicked so if these set of people see that they can take advantage of you and you will always forgive them, they will do it over and over again whenever it serves their purpose.

Don't be foolish and subject yourself to the emotional torture of compulsory forgiveness for the sake of an imaginary god--- this is robbery and people would get away with any offence when dealing with you. The human body is not built for such type of "compulsory" forgiveness. It's emotional abusive and what's more pathetic is that you are doing this for the sake of an imaginary god thereby giving room for people to use your compulsory forgiveness and treat you like trash with impunity. Don't be foolishly nice in a world filled with monsters and backstabbing men. Start treating people as they deserve. A toxic friend should be done away with and a mean person should be repaid in his/her own coin. Treat people as they deserve. Only good hearted people should get good hearted treatment.

Do you know how many people have been wickedly taken advantage of because of this "compulsory" forgiveness? This "compulsory" forgiveness is a tool in the hand of wicked men against the foolishly forgiving men. Stop this. If someone hurts you bad, treat them as they deserve. Bad people get bad treatment, good people get good treatment. Stop being foolish. Wake up.

Reading is boring to the average African because it's not what his mind is after. His mind is after wealth, vanity and material stuffs--- these are his only priorities. The only time he reads is when he is in school and it's of little wonder when you see that, to him, formal education is regarded as an intellectual path to making money.

Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle was a medical doctor but that didn't stop him from writing the Sherlock Holmes short stories and novels. Hope my advice is not coming late.
LiteratureWhat Books Would You Suggest? by Martinez19(op):
I mainly read academic and philosophical books. I read them a lot. However, I am not the avid novel(fiction) reader but I have read quite a lot. I have read Chimamanda Adichie's and Chinua Achebe's works and I am a fan of Sherlock Holmes kiss. These are works that are not only interesting but upgrade your vocabulary, add to your list of terminologies in particular aspects and whatever.

So avid fiction readers, what great fictional work(s) would you suggest to me and why?

My projections of a monthly 3m/4m for 6months is my Agricultural target during the farming season when I include my husbandry angle to it.

What I wish to begin with after expansion can only be done within the farming season only and not all year round.

You better join us farmers and stop looking for white collar jobs up and down
lol. I am still an undergraduate. I not out of touch with reality to know that white collar jobs aren't guaranteed for graduates.

Speaking for myself, Personally, an average of between 600k to 680k for now as income before i pay salaries and after salaries, 450k to 530k.

However, expanding my biz now so hopefully, in another 5 months, will be making an average of 3 to 4m a month for 6 months of the year then revert to the normal figures I mentioned first for another 6months and then back again to the latter figures.

As a business owner (Agricultural and animal husbandry) it pays far higher than a salary earner.

A very good question. I not afraid to call them for what they are because they are just are human like everyone else and there is nothing special about them. Having known that religion is ridiculous garbage and falsehood with no concrete basis in reality, anyone who peddles falsehood(religion) for personal gain is a thief. Pastors and yahoo yahoo boys are basically the same. There is no god to punish me.

You mean your friend committed suicide and you rushed to create thread on NL, with his corpse on display? May God take social media friends away from me.

Rip to the young man. It should never have gotten to this.
Wow. You just read my mind here. I created a thread on this same issue. Families of suicide victims are traumatized already and posting pictures of the victim's corpse(even worse at the suicide scene) and spreading the news on social media for all to see worsen the trauma but bloggers are hungry, people are naive and people are gossips.

In the event of suicide, the case should be treated confidentially between the doctors, police and family involved. I also suggest that it's only by the permission of the family(of the suicide victim), that the pictures of the victim and news be released to the public.
