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!

stiffmeister:Lillyann is just entertaining everyone with her posts. Check her profile page. |

lightblazingnow: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. By the way, I am circumcised and let the tone of your write up be christ-like. |
HARDDON: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. |
ikechizoba: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. |
Show me the problem. |
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. |

Hakeem12:Thanks. |
The greatest love one can have for a friend is to lay down his life for one's friend. |
Is your friend rich? Besides, where, in the bible, is poverty a sin? |
Tozara:Well, I hope she made the right decision. |
stuffsabouttara: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. |
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 So avid fiction readers, what great fictional work(s) would you suggest to me and why? |
Tozara:Lol. Don't mind him. The same Samuel Ekueme that was scamming people back in the days and even recently claims he is earning about 600k per month? ![]() Cc. HardMirror, frank317 and hopefulLandlord. |
Butterflyleo:lol. I am still an undergraduate. I not out of touch with reality to know that white collar jobs aren't guaranteed for graduates. |

Mine were the little green soldiers which I played with in the early 2000s. Apart from green there could be any other colour for the soldier.

kanayo76:It does not work like. Everyone to his/her own struggles. ![]() |
Lovelife433: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. |
ylaa:Hush! All religious gods and associated doctrines are ridiculous garbages and falsehoods with no concrete basis in reality. How do you know that God exists? And how do you know that God is your own God? Why not Allah, Buddha or krishna? |
Once in a while, two thieves should work hand in hand and have a nice time. |
Humans don't deserve such pathetic human construct(God). |
pocohantas: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. |
Drugs ruin people's lives. Why make a living off the mysery of people? |
Lol. Better deal with your mastubation problem. Marriage won't stop your habit. |
