CultureWhy Do Some Nigerians Abroad Have Superiority Complex Over Those At Home? by McStoic(op): 12:21am On Jun 11, 2013
Folks, how many of you have noticed this norm? I have encountered and heard of scenarios whereby some vital family decisions have been put on hold because of certain directives from abroad. Probably because the ''been to'' member of the family who is not around feels he has to dictate who does what and what action is in vogue or archaic.

Most times this is worst with folks in the UK. I know of a landlord friend who made funny decrees in the agreements with his tenants. The funniest one being that the tenants cannot harbour visitors in their flat for more than 30 days. And would have to notify the caretaker in writing in advance of any visit that would exceed the stipulated 30 days; imagine!

He forgot that this is not UK, after all hospitality is part of African culture . All advice as a friend has fallen on deaf ears. Any witness guys? embarassed
Music/RadioRe: People Consider Enya's Songs As 'demonic' - Why? by McStoic(m): 9:52am On Jun 09, 2013
naturalwaves: If Enya were in a church choir here in Nigeria, I am very sure that I will never miss a service here cos of her Angelic voice. I have a whole lot of tracks from her and I listen to any one that goes with the mood. If I'm off to work in the morning in a bus and my earpiece is on,it has to be CARRIBEAN BLUE. If I'm working against time,it has to be STORMS IN AFRICA or THE MEMORY TREES. When I'm engaged in anything that requires topmost precision, concentration and brainwork, FAIRYTALE works for me because of the beat counts. Moreover, it is only a music genius that can sing a whole song with just LA-la-la and still make sense. Anyone that's in doubt should just download FAIRYTALE.



When some people told me that what I listen to is demonic, I went to carry out further research and there isn't anything demonic about Enya. If U don't listen well, u won't even know that she's speaking English in some of d songs. Well, I downloaded some of her Lyrics to assess the message critically, I got the English version to the ones she sang in Latin and again, nothing demonic. Or is it demonic to sing about nature?


Aside listening to her voice,I follow the background Piano Play that accompanies the song and I must confess that she is a wonderful Pianist. Infact, Enya is one of the best Pianists in the world, her name must surely prop up when U search for the best Pianists.Enya is a Musical Aficionado!



As for YANNI CHRISOMALIS, I don't know how to describe that one cos I haven't gotten the vocabulary yet and if I start talking about him and analysing his tracks, I will take this entire page +his music is so Philosophical maybe because of his Greek Origin.


I have listened to a whole lot of music and I must say that ENYA and YANNI are 2 of the best Musicians in the whole wide world www.
Music is a universal language of the soul, hence anybody, any kingdom can use it. But who uses it, their allegiance, religion etc is where the scrutiny and debate comes in. If Enya were a christian then her music would promote such. On the hand she's not and she has an allegiance too which her song must promote.

Adedayo516: You believe this songs are evil?....well, everyone has got a right their opinions..........you can manipulate some weak minds but not all.......Hope Has a Place
'One look at love
And you may see
It weaves a web
Over mystery,
All ravelled threads
Can rend apart
For hope has a place in the lover’s heart.
Hope has a place in a lover’s heart
Whispering world,
A sigh of sighs,
The ebb and the flow
Of the ocean tides,
One breath, one word
May end or may start
A hope in a place of the lover’s heart,
Hope has a place in a lover’s heart.
Look to love
You may dream,
And if it should leave
Then give it wings.
But if such a love
Is meant to be;
Hope is home, and the heart is free.
Under the heavens
We journey far,
On roads of life
We’re the wanderers,
So let love rise,
So let love depart,
Let hope have a place in the lover’s heart
Hope has a place in the lover’s heart.
Look to love
And you may dream,
And if it should leave
Then give it wings.
But if such a love
Is meant to be;
Hope is home, and the heart is free.
Hope is home, and the heart is free.'

What was evil in the lyrics above........
And to you guys judging people here be careful or...YOU WOULD ALSO BE JUDGED!
The trick is not in the lyrics but rather in the sound and its effects on the mind. Arguing over issues i don't know is not my forte, hence i know what am saying but i sure ain't forcing it on you bro. In these talks, the container (Enya and co) is the source nay the emitter of the content. New Age is the brand. Hence, the wordings are most times secondary if not immaterial. Electrifying and charging up the consciousness is the punchline here. Most facts are hard to accept cos they quake up the status quo! ''Each to his own sha''.
Music/RadioRe: People Consider Enya's Songs As 'demonic' - Why? by McStoic(m):
prologue: Enya? E ya... Most persons "enya-ing" with partial knowledge. It is worst than ignorance. Do u have sufficient understanding of the realm u are taken to? U want to dance to the dance of d "cricket", not knowing it is the dance of the spirits. Can u explain her songs? U want to belong abi? You are entrapped... Oiling an endless obsession with an ever widening appetite in the drift into d higher dimensional. Soon, u will need higher consciousness when u get too excited in the "enya" orbital level. Therein lies the problem. U are ignorant and uninitiated, so it gets very dangerous. Expect some to call me slowpoke and mumu. Its not them that speaketh and I forgive u in advance. May the Lord Jesus guide your hearts to the truth. Don't follow those marked for destruction.
Thumbs up to you man!! Suffice it to be said that its mind boggling how some people readily jump onto the bandwagon of doubt when salient truths stare them even stark unclad in the face. First of all, what am about to opine here is meant for those folks who are innocently ignorant. Each genre of music has its attendant feelings. Rap, Hip Hop, Rock n Roll, Jazz, Soul et al. For instance, tis not for nothing that rap music usually incites rude behaviours. Music is meant to affect a state of the mind, consciously or subconsciously. When you talk of Enya, Enigma, Yanni and co, you talk of New Age religion and music. Those who know some things about that movement will understand that it is occult related. Enya's Sweet Lulllaby, Only Time, Orinocco Flow, Wild Child among others used to hit me below the belt! Yanni's Playing By Heart, The Mermaid, Tribute, Renegade, Swept Away, Aria, Santorini, To The One Who Knows et al once held me by the gathers. But i try not to listen to them anymore. Lol. I bet most people don't have an idea that such intense soul massaging sounds are used in ''highing'' up oneself before exiting the body, during soul travel, ESP etc. Even snake charmers know what effect these types of music exert on snakes! Such superlative sounds can never be without a purpose and an owner. They are God's or Satan's, period!! Meanwhile, figure in the fact that Satan i.e Lucifer was the heavenly choirmaster before his sack and then the picture gets more clear. I can go on and on but for now, you folks who peradventure care about your souls should be wary of so many seemingly harmless ''self destruct buttons'' installed by the Devil and his cohorts to entrap innocent minds. The fact that music soothes the mind does not make it totally pure! Most things are not what they seem. Its normal to not want to easily give up that which we hold dear to; yet its irrational to ignore warning signals meant to keep us off danger. Guard your souls jealously o! NB: Like i said before, my expose is not meant for every Willy and Harry.

Christianity EtcRe: The Absurdity Of God's Omnipresence. by McStoic(m): 8:25am On Oct 28, 2012
advocate666: Many theists believe in the omnipresence of god. They sing it in their songs. It is the reason why they pray anywhere because they believe god hears and sees them wherever they are.

But this omnipresence of god is not without problem for the minds of the godly because it implies that god is also in places where they will rather he not be. Consider this: God is in hell.

This assertion posed a lot of problems to early christians but they eventually admitted that it was true.

Here is Martin Luther discussing this with his friends.
http://www.angelfire.com/ny4/djw/lutherantheology.godinhell.html

Well, theists, consider my own input in this. The omnipresence of god implies thus that god is

in my sewer
in my urine
in ashawo's menstrual pad

when, the okada man is inside the prostitute, there is god, right between the friction of their privates.
god is wholly and in essence inside the vomit of the drunkard
the exploding bomb of boko haram contains god

god is on my keyboard while i'm typing this
he is in me, in my veins and in my brains.

he is in the devil and is part and parcel of his three tongued fork
he was in hitler and was in the furnace that burned those jews.

he is in my spperm and when i go to the toilet in the morning, there he is.
are you smoking ganja? you are smoking god.

have you ever seen two dogs locked together in their sexual act, god is inside.
etc etc.

If you deny any of these statements, then you are denying god's omnipresence.

So the next time you see dog poo on the side of the road, please bow down in submission to his holy presence.
666 man or whatever your nomenclature is, am not trying to join issues with you because i perceive you are anti God and its hardly healthy explainging these things to a mind like yours. At best, its a waste of time which stokes strife and modulates the pleasure your ilk derive from such. All the same am only trying to plug the doubt you seek to establish in the mind of the innocent young ones. For starters, if anyone can successfully and adequately make out the composition of air, its movement, location at given points in time and origin etc. then, he or she may now start the long, beyond-una-intelligence thought of justapoxing God with common sense and feeble self deprecation.......To cut a long story short, God made the air we breathe. And air is virtually anywhere you can think of. Now, by the virtue of a simple logic, the created(Air) is an evident and a picture of the creator(God). Hence, if air can possibly be everywhere, then why cann't God. If the devil claims omnipresence albeit falsely, then how about God Himself who created all these things. All the places you said God exist are true and are

Danka7777: Point of correction: The 38 properties belonged to Sir Louis Ojukwu; Ikemba Ojukwu's father who was a very, extremely wealthy man in his time. He, Ikemba didn't spend his money. He usurped the properties/monies of his siblings passed on to them by their late father to financed the war. And No, he didn't love his people, millions of Igbos were killed for his selfish agenda and he absconded out of the Country. If he really and genuinely loved his people, he would have stay in the country and die for his people as did Gaddafi. Honestly, the prestige he is held to by igbos isn't deserved at all, in my judgement. For all igbos who haven't studied deeply into the civil war, go and do so and get a first hand knowledge of what happened.

CrimeRe: Bandits On The Loose In Imo by McStoic(m): 12:02pm On Sep 17, 2012
muktarl: ^

Am not saying this because am from Jigawa. But in all honesty Imo state has become Somalia and Afghanistan of Nigeria where lawlessness, kidnapping, criminality, insecurity has taken a very deep root. To be sincere Kaduna and Maiduguri are much more safer than what is happening on daily basis in IMO state. To the extent people are going around with fear of being killed. Me thing FG need to declare a state of emergency in imo state.
Are you sure you have ever been to the east talkless of Imo state? Ask around if you can but, most of your Hausa brothers feel safest in Imo state and am talking out of the whole igbo speaking states....How many times have you heard that there was reprisal attacks from Imolites against Hausa indigenes here? Such things usually occur at places like Aba in Abia state, Onitsha in Anambra state and sometimes in Enugu state. Your central mosque here is situated stonethrow to the goverment's house and state police headquarters unlike what what obtains up north. Comparing Imo state to any northern state even in their most peaceful period is like comparing night and day. Not to talk of mentioning modern day definition of mayhem(Maiduguri and Kaduna states). I welcome arguements but not ones born out of sentiment than first hand information. I have dozens of Hausa, Yoruba indigenes as well as Kogi, Plateau, Delta, etc friends both as friends in my neighbourhood, colleagues at work and customers in the markets. What they testify here punctures your sentiments. Don't ever mention Imo state in the same sentence with those religion hotbeds again abeg. We may have out problems but senseless violence and inhospitality is not of them.
CrimeRe: Bandits On The Loose In Imo by McStoic(m): 11:32am On Sep 17, 2012
In as much as we cannot deny that Imo state is imperfect, at least just as every other part of Nigeria, lets not make ourselves look foolish by swallowing incorrect information hook, line and sinker. I lived in the north; Kaduna to be precise. Likewise Lagos, and Port Harcourt. I presently live in Imo state and frankly speaking, am just learning of some these crimes here. Am not doubting the veracity of the crimes but i think among the whole southeastern states presently, Imo state is more peaceful. Reading through the original post, i discovered the guy i.e Ohaneze1 is trying to incense unneeded strife by his tone. Most of the crimes he listed may have taken place at different periods probably spanning 5 to 6 months period and above. @Wasiudvd, if you really got a job in Imo state, do take it if its more paying. Am a federal public servant in the state and if you compare the crime rate obtainable elsewhere, you will understand that all these Ohaneze1 is talking about is not as bad as it seems, truthfully speaking. The said assassinations are sad nonetheless but there are certainly more than meets the eye in these happenings. Most of them are usually politically motivated or business deals gone wrong. Just as is obtainable elsewhere, no one comes to any harm unless they have a cause to be; God forbid though. @Merkels, am sure you are a Nigerian? Lets not pretend as if our various states do not have their bad points. I doubt whether you are speaking without prejudice albeit informatively. Because you will know that the rate of crime during Udenwa's regime is a record that is still there to beat. Also former PDP thugs are certainly not happy that money is not flowing like before. All in all, the commissioner of police needs to sit up or go sha. Lets judge this state's governor upon the completion of his tenure.
