Heavenly102:So i can't prove such illusion, so god is real. Can he demonstrate and prove how he predicted such matches that became true so that we can push his predictions out of the realm of coincidence and probability. So whenever you witness a football pundit that predicted the outcome many matches simultaneously, he is instantly a god sent. Are you kidding me. So scientists that had predicted the different eclipses of the sun and moon till 2040 and beyond with consistent and undeniably accuracy are doing so because god sent them. You're pretty smarter than been tricked into believing nonsense. |
buzquet:You are an immoral thug. |
Sall:While you gave zero reason for the claim |
Trixxxy:And if you fail to compare both, you maybe under illusion. They are all freedom fighters. |

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI Mr. President, as one of your most loyal and faithful subjects who has nothing but the utmost respect for your person and your office I am constrained to write you this open letter. This is because there are a number of issues that I believe that it is important for you to clarify and to come clean on. I say this because some of your assertions of late are at best contradictory and at worst patently dishonest. Whichever side of the political divide we are on I believe that we can all agree on one thing: that the prosecution of the war against terror is not something that any of us should play politics with. This is especially so given the fact that human lives are at stake and the very existence of our nation is under threat. Like much of the rest of the world our country is going through hell at the hands of the jihadists and Islamist terrorists. There is no gainsaying that we must all come to terms with the fact that the Islamic State in the Levant (ISIL), Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Al Shabab, Boko Haram, Hamas and another group that the internationally-respected Global Terror Index has described as the ''Fulani militants'' (aka Fulani herdsmen) are nothing but bloodthirsty murderers and the lowest form of life. They are indeed the scum of the earth, the troublers of humanity and the vermin of hell. It is with this in mind that I urge you to take the war against terror far more seriously than you are doing and plead with you to stop passing the buck. Your penchant for blaming your failings in this regard on the previous administration is simply nauseating and it does not serve you well. You continuously contradict yourself when it comes to this matter and frankly such flip flops are unworthy of the office that you presently occupy. We your subjects look up to you for consistency, strength, unequivocal commitment, a firm resolve and the ''leadership from the front'' that you promised during your presidential campaign in this war. We do not want and neither do we need doublespeak, lame excuses and buck passing. Permit me to point out a few examples of your contradictory assertions and your buck passing in this short intervention. Initially you claimed that your predecessor in office President Goodluck Jonathan never bought any arms and that instead he squandered and stole all the money that was appropriated for the procurement of arms. Yet when the British Minister of Defense visited you in the Presidential Villa the other day the story changed. You did a U-turn and gleefully told him and the wider world that President Jonathan bought arms with raw cash. One wonders which story you shall come up with next and which one you will conjure up in the future. Kindly tell us what the position is: is it that Jonathan did not buy arms at all and stole all the money or is it that he used cash to buy arms? You cannot have it both ways. It is either one or the other. Quite apart from your glaring doublespeak on this matter there was another issue which you ought to have raised with your highly esteemed and respected British guest. You forgot to tell him that his was one of the countries that not only refused to sell weapons to us during the course of this bitter conflict but that also helped to impose and enforce the international arms embargo on our country even though we are at war. This resulted in the unnecessary death of thousands of our people because we found it difficult to procure the weapons to protect them. Your guest’s country insisted on towing the American line and doing this to us even though we were fighting a war against a relentless, well-motivated, well-funded and well-armed fighting force that Global Terror Index has described as the ''deadliest terrorist organization in the world''. One is forced to ask: with friends like this who needs enemies? Given the fact that the embargo was in place one wonders how we were supposed to procure arms unless we did so with raw cash on the black market. The alternative was to buy none at all, to do nothing and to allow Boko Haram to take Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu and Lagos. Perhaps that is precisely what your western friends and allies wanted but thankfully it never came to pass. Despite the challenges and constraints President Jonathan faced, instead of losing any more ground, he rose to the occasion and retook no less than 22 local government areas and virtually pushed Boko Haram out of Nigeria. The only place that they occupied by the time the election took place was Sambisa forest. Jonathan achieved all this with those arms that he bought with raw cash. This is apparently what you are now complaining about. Permit me to remind you that it is those same arms that Jonathan bought with raw cash that your army is still using till today. Yet sadly since you were sworn in as President seven months ago you have lost some of those same local government areas that were earlier recovered and they are now back in the hands of the terrorists. Despite this you keep telling the international community and the Nigerian people that we are ''making progress'' in the war against terror. As a matter of fact you went as far as to say that we had ''won the war'' against Boko Haram and your Minister of Information, Mr. Lai Mohammed, echoed that grotesque mendacity and reiterated that sentiment by adding the words ''technically won'' (whatever that may mean) to the equation. Sadly, two days later, on Christmas day, in what can only be described as an eloquent response from the terrorists, scores of innocent civilians were killed by Boko Haram in Borno state and a whole community was burnt to the ground. Again on Sunday 27th of December Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, came under heavy attack from the terrorists. So much for having ''won the war against Boko Haram'', whether ''technically'' or otherwise. Instead of conceding that you had told the Nigerian people a pernicious lie, curiously the next thing that you did was to tell them that you would ''persuade Boko Haram to drop their arms''. One is compelled to ask: why would you have to persuade them to drop their arms if you had already defeated them and won the war against them? In any case this would be the first time in the history of modern warfare that a sitting President has sought to destroy and defeat a vicious and relentless terrorist organization and win the war against terror simply with the awesome and devastating weapon of persuasion. Perhaps you should recommend that same tactic to the Americans and the rest of the international community as an effective and credible weapon to adopt in their war against ISIL, Al Qaeda, Al Shabab, Hamas and all the other jihadist groups that plague the world. Whilst you are at it perhaps you could also persuade Boko Haram to free the Chibok girls. It is disturbing to note that despite all your campaign promises and assurances that once you are elected President the girls would be rescued or returned, nothing has been done or heard about any of them ever since you were sworn in. Worst still the Bring Back Our Girls Group, which was essentially an appendage of your election organization, together with its distinguished leaders and conveners, appear to have gone very quiet. I guess they are busy trying to persuade Boko Haram to drop their arms too. The truth is that it is time for you to free yourself from your monumental delusions and to get real. Sadly you appear to be detached from reality. Instead of fighting the war against terror you are making it worse by slaughtering one thousand Shia Muslims in Zaria on December 12th, locking up their leader Sheik Ibrahim El Zakzaky and opening yet another war front in our country. The last thing that we need is for Hezbollah or the Iranian Republican Guard to rise to the occasion, take up the challenge, jump into the fray and decide to protect and avenge their Shia Muslim brothers and sisters in northern Nigeria. Yet despite the reprehensible and indefensible actions of your military commanders in Zaria you have refused to show any remorse for what was undoubtedly a war crime against fellow Nigerians and you have not prosecuted the officers and military personnel that were involved in the butchery. Instead the homes of the victims and those that share their Shia faith have been burnt to the ground in Zaria and their graves and burial sites have been dug up and desecrated. Instead of fighting Boko Haram you are fighting and killing your own people. Worse still you have refused to defend our country. I say this because a few days ago the Cameroonian military invaded our country, violated our territorial integrity and savagely murdered over 70 innocent Nigerians in their village before burning it down. Your government refused to acknowledge that this event even took place, despite the media reports. You did not console or express condolences to the families of the victims or retaliate against the Cameroonians. You did not even warn them or demand an apology or reparations from them. This is heartless and shameful. It could not have happened under Jonathan, Obasanjo, Babangida, Shagari, Abacha, Abubakar, Shonekan, Mohammed, Balewa or indeed any other former Nigerian President or Head of State. If any of them had been in power and the Cameroonians cultivated the effrontery to do such a thing there would have been consequences. Yet you did nothing to avenge this affront or to defend our honor. What happened to the gallant and brave General Buhari that courageously led our troops into victory in Chad in the early 1980's? What happened to the honest and forthright man that we all admired and looked up to because of his military exploits in Chad? What happened to the war hero that gave the Chadians a ''bloody nose'' for daring to attack a Nigerian village and that almost took Ndjamena, the Chadian capital? What happened to the man that proved to the Libyans and their Chadian proxies that Nigerians knew how to fight? It appears that you have changed and that you are no longer the man that you used to be. Instead of being honest with our people you have insisted on selling them a dummy and telling them a lie. You refuse to tell the world that our military is terribly demoralized, our soldiers are suffering heavy casualties and are not being paid their salaries regularly and, worse of all, that you have failed to procure a single bullet or weapon for them to use in the last seven months since you came to power. Instead of deploying all the power of the state against Boko Haram you have spent all your energy and resources trying to teach the former National Security Advisor, Colonel Sambo Dasuki, and all your other perceived enemies the lesson of their lives by misrepresenting them before the world, subjecting them to state-sponsored tyranny and the most insidious form of persecution, violating their human rights and lying to the world that they stole and shared money that was meant for the purchase of arms. You have also misled and misinformed the Nigerian people about the rules and conventions that are applied when it comes to the administration of security funds and about the fact that it is the National Assembly alone that has the right to probe the use of such funds as part of their oversight functions. To cap it all you have claimed you did not receive any benefit from the NSA 's office whilst Jonathan was in power. This is an assertion which we all know is, at best, questionable. You must be mindful of the fact that God hates liars and He despises those that abuse power. You must remember that the more you scorn God's counsel and mock His admonitions the more your errors will be made manifest and the more your people will suffer. You must understand that any leader or government that is motivated by bitterness, fear, hate, vengeance and malice will eventually hit the rocks and crash like a pack of cards. You must appreciate the fact that God is watching and that He sees and knows all. May the Lord have mercy on you and may He forgive you for your many sins and wicked ways. God bless Nigeria. |
timonski:I presume you are still a very young boy, less than thirty. Stephen was pretty healthier more than you do now when he was your age, attended high profile University, very rich as of your age and smarter/intelligent more than you at your age then. Diseases and lethal micro organisms are not anybodys friend. It can come anytime, anywhere and can affect anybody. Pray that yours is not gonna be worse than his, that you may not even be dead before 70 or maybe affected by worse abnormality ever. He celebrated his 77yrs this yr. So start growing up very fast and now |
Thanks for the post. I still maintain that Christianity had perpetrated terrorism to the world than muslem will ever involve. They've killed many heads and destroyed much properties than ever. Due to years of identification of their actions, zero benefit of killing others and gradual enlightened of Europe, they started doing away with those hideous acts. I still condemned every act of terrorism by any group or organization in our contemporary world. |
UyiIredia:Is god not aware that such will happen beforehand. Since everything is happening according to gods plan and his script is continuously playing, he should take responsibility for the harsh trial. Unless you want to deny that god is not aware of such harsh phenomenon that happened. And if you dare assert such, it means that every other phenomenon whether good or bad that happened to anybody occurs coincidentally just like the firework incident. You can't just pick and choose some incidents from series and oceans of other incidences and say " aha god did this or that" or "is things like this cloudgoddess, thehomer menesheh and co will blame God for when people no dey use their brain''It is asinine. How do you go about determining those events that should go either way of 'god did it" and "it is naturally or coincidentally occurring". I hope this is logic 101. |
goodnewscliff:So what's your best reasons and justification for believing a god or the god may possibly exist? Why do think the whole bible stories and events are historically accurate and all other holy and divine claims of the same sort may be false (despite you've never claim that) the likes of Quran? And how do you know that the bible's authorship was really from an unseen monster in the sky? |
goodnewscliff:You may possibly not be well versed more than me about what the Bible gat to offer. I may not have the chance to start explaining to you how vague and untrue those fulfilled prophecies you're presupposing are. My thing is that whenever you are ready to investigate whether or not your beliefs are true, we have the Internet at this stage in human history that helps to fast track contrasting ideas, knowledge, and logics behind all these arguments about the bible, god, and myths. And one last thing is that whenever you're quoting me or replicating my comments, don't use abusive words like the one i highlighted above. It deters rational and mature discussion. |
goodnewscliff:Reread |

Macelliot:Waw. We don't condemn all foreign stuffs but we mustn't take every bit of foreign infiltration to our life. We should censor things we accept from them. Lets take you have a friend and the friends have good sides and darkside, you have to sieve the good aspects of him and do away with bad aspects. |
Macelliot:As one guy rightly said that "ndi enugu amahi chineke". The number of peepz in the "Nairaland freethinkers" WhatsApp group created last time are mostly from Enugu state. Why ![]() |
sonOfLucifer:Yea we are saying same thing. Social means interactions and dealings within groups. Internet falls under social media since it involves sharing informations via such social meduim as the internet and the same way social media falls under Internet since such social interactions takes place within the Internet community. |
Idrismusty97:You are right in a way but Internet without social media is stagnant. |
remzytimer:First of all, you don't know the meaning of knowledge. I advice you to pick up dictionary and check it up. Am not a Christian. Am a humanist. Why should i care what the living faith church has to say? |
obowunmi:He didn't even say anything though he is still dependent on his parents. If i could ever be the one in his shoe, i will publicly challenge the pastor to tell me what he believe and why. I will challenge him pretty much so that he's not gonna deny jamming an atheist. I will publicly tell him the reasons for my position since the whole issue went public. |
= Social media Do you agree with this? |
boboLIL:You failed to understand that every ideology and topic worth exploring as soon as one finds it interesting. |
If anybody ever say that the old testament is meant for the jews, and that most, instead of all the old testament practices are not viable today have these questions to answer 1. Why did jesus said that he came to fulfill the old testament laws instead of saying he came to amend or abolish such laws. 2. Does that means that god is inconsistent and fallible by issuing out laws initially and amending it later via a presumed son. 3. Why did pastors and priests Pick and choose verses in the old testament that they need each time especially the tithe part and criticizes others practices not compatible with the new testament gospel. 4. Why not choke out the old testament entirely out of the Christian holy book and leave them to the sole owners, the jews, instead of confusing yourselves with both. 5. Which criteria do you actually apply to know the part that are still relevant and the one that are not since the bible didn't compile list of leftie ones. 6. Why the fucck must you even care what the Bible gat to offer since people don't remember those bible tenets whenever they want to do their thing, and also since Nigeria Constitution don't punish you for doing those things. Infact laws not adhere to and still no punishment afterwards are irrelevant and have zero bearing on our day to day life endeavors. So i urge everyone to do his/her thing and forget laws made by ancient and naive medieval men to control its population, of which, it served as a constitution to them then. They lacked objectivity when compiling those laws of which they have no good and valid reasons and justifications why you shouldn't do those things. |
God is not only the author of confusion but the people that are making those unsubstantiated predictions and presumed prophecies authored the confusion. First of all, all of you, those pastors, prophets, the girl, and you are biblically immoral by you, tapping unmarried lustful looking at the girl and presumably sex, pastors vetting such a relationship, prophets predicting how the lustful looking and sex marathon will be like in the near future and finally the girl agreeing on all these things. |
phreakabit:And you fail to understand that being gullible enough to credulously accept a collection of books written in the medieval time by anonymous authors with no original is not a virtue and there is every need and call for critical evaluation of its origin, compilation and collection rather than taking it on face value. You've just committed a serious fallacious appeal to ignorance. |
johnydon22:Until he differentiate and demonstrate a physical voice from a spiritual one, both of you are thriving in imageries. |
My problem here is the use of the word "voice" denoting laudable noise which can be heard depending on the distance between the conveyor and the receiver. Even if it is whispering in a low toned voice, it can still be heard by the nearest ear to the voice. Here we are talking about abstract communication meduim that comes from our inner intuition, hence assuming such to be coming from some abstract meduims like god and satan. At the same time pretending that such are real voice from the unknown. Hallucinations and psychological imbalance are real medical cased and anyone who is assuming to be hearing a voice of this sort, should check surrounding pretty well to ascertain whether or not something physical is making such noise or voice, if there is not, better visit a doctor in time before it deteriorate. |
IGBOPRINCE:Yea, philosophy is kinda nonsensical and weird because it can't answer certain questions but it is a great tool to actually ask such unheard-of prenotions hence create enthusiastic spirit to start searching for any possible clue to answers those questions. |
Vicky2k:Fine my brother. |
softappless:That why we vouch for scientific evolutionary explanations rather than ancient scribings that have zero explanatory power of how pigmentation and differences in human race came to be. Evolutionally changes can produce EGYPTIANS, CHINEESE, GREEKS, SPANISH, JEWISH, AFRICANS, AMERICANS, ISRAELITES. Changes occurs overtime by being acted upon by different conditions like weather, environmental, kind food around, sun etc. |
malvisguy212:Brother good morning, you are really wearing god eyes glass that always prevents you from investigating issues critically, hence cooking up excuses each time as if you're the one that wrote the bible and are 100% sure of its contents. As far as we can tell, this is 20th cum 21st century and not two thousand or three thousand years ago. The farther an event get behind time, the harder it is to investigate the factuality of what really took place. It will always be an exuberant position to doubt events that happened thousands of years, i mean thousands of years considering that the people who propagated or partook in such events are pretty naive to some extent compared to you today. The essence of such doubts is to be in the safe side by making sure we are not under delusion. This is the reason why scientific investigations and facts of past events and phenomena (like evolution, bigbang etc) are not hold as dogma. we are human with limited knowledge to accurately know absolutely what happened in the past. We can be wrong anytime and somewhere. Despite oceans of evidence supporting any scientific and historical facts, we can't still say for absolute (100%) certainty that it really happened that way. |
I tot this is not islam for allah section. Furthermore, you better start thinking now too of what will happen to you and your fellow muslems if later, allah became an illusion while leprechaun or Christianity became the true religion. |
blame God for when people no dey use their brain. I played banger as a child I use am with sense. In any case I hope the child learns from it. He will think twice before playing with banger next year.
