That statement I hope you can defend it? I think saying 60% of undergraduates are into scam is not only over exaggeration but will dent Nigerian image
Let's not pretend like that's not the truth... You can only get lower numbers in the North

SA is turning to something else. Soon, they will reap the evil treatments they are dishing out to the foreigners.
After listening to one of the speeches their president was giving, I came to realize SA government is the enabler and are in support of xenophobia.

DT is carried in myriads of controversies! How did the shooter gain entry into such situations? Who gave him clearance? So he entered with a weapon and discharged it before he was brought under control? So many questions
Dude, these guys don't just wake up one day and decide to go on assassination mission... They plan for days, weeks, months or years.
Christianity Etc › Re: Atheists In The House, What's The Source Of Your Morality? by Offpoint1: 11:04am On Apr 26
SIRTee15:
Since atheists reject God and His divine guidance, as well as revelation, I would like them to tell us the source of their morality.

What guides your conscience when it comes to good and evil? Is your moral framework subjective or objective? What is the foundational basis of your morality? How do you determine what is right or wrong? Is your morality dynamic and relative to time, location, and circumstances?

As a believer in the scriptures, my morality comes from the bible. If the Bible says an act is wrong, then it is wrong irrespective of external opinion or societal validation of such an act.

To the atheist, if you think a behaviour is immoral but society considers it good, how do you justify your stance? What makes you think your judgment is better than that of the majority?

How do you even know what is good or bad as a principle? For example, do you think fornication or homosexuality is evil? Do you think transgender identity should be considered moral? Do you think pride and lying are things that should be frowned upon? What even makes suicide or euthanasia wrong?

Atheists, do you think it is okay to indoctrinate your children with your morality, or should they be left alone to discover their own?
If your 16-year-old daughter starts taking contraceptive pills so she can have sex with her boyfriend, would you frown at it? On what grounds would you consider her behaviour immoral?

If your 21-year-old son tells you he is gay and wants to marry his partner, will you wish them marital bliss or attend their wedding if invited? If you object to such a union, where is that morality coming from?

If your 18-year-old son tells you he is transitioning to become a woman and plans to undergo surgery, on what grounds would you tell him he is wrong?

Why would it be wrong if your 25-year-old daughter tells you she does not plan to get married but intends to have children with different men and raise them without a father figure?

I am certain many atheists would struggle with some of these situations. No atheist here on nairaland will attend the wedding of his gay son or celebrate extramarital pregnancy of his daughter.

The truth some atheists conveniently ignore is that all moral frameworks in society have historically been influenced by religious traditions. People draw from these values in how they live their lives, build families, and relate to their communities.

Yet, some reject the existence of God while still engaging with moral ideas that have been shaped by religious thought.

This is something I reflected on years ago, and it led me to question whether atheism provides a sufficiently grounded explanation for morality or its simply delusion in disguise.

I would appreciate if atheist can give a convincing rebuttal as to the source of their morality independent of an imaginary sky daddy as they say.
We aren't born Christians, Muslims, or catholics. You were born human
The labels they came later, stamped on you by institutions that profited of SPIRITUAL CAPITALISM.
Before the church taught you to bow, you looked up, not in worship but in wonders.
Before Bible told you what beauty was, you already felt it in the world, the rain, stars, moon, trees.
The world that asked for nothing yet gave you everything.
Before you were taught about sins, you already knew emphaty.
Before they made you fear hell, you already knew already feared hurting someone you love.
That is the truth no doctrine can rewrite.
Morality existed before mythology, we build God to explain ourselves and then forget we are the explanation.
We trade laws for authority, curiosity for commandments and freedom for faith.

Your moral compass is factory installed, if you need men written books as morality guidelines, then you've lost connection with your creator.


Besides, I'm no atheist, I don't just buy into religious Gods, those are men creation.

Ombre:
This is so risky. What do they do when that part gets totally submerged due to rising water levels?
Their aim is waiting for the ship to enter international water, then alert the ship crew to rescue them.

Where they are doesn't submerge, unless there's a huge wave, it'll submerge for few seconds and pop up again.

Regardless it was deadly mission which they may likely not survive because the open sea wind isn't joke.

US is dealing with Iran but Iran is looking for other people to transfer the anger while leaving US that is directly in front of you😂😂
They can't fire at the US ship because there's a ceasefire between the 2 countries. Make una dey reason well.

Once ceasefire is over US will withdraw her ships.

Bendeco02:
When you marry for looks only, this is what you get.

By the woman's appearance, the signs are there that she is wayward.

But some men will be like "don't judge a book by it's cover".

I fit date any kind of girl o but you see for marriage, I will examine you like machine.

Wayward lady will always be wayward. Some of them always use poverty as an excuse for their wayward life.

She married a rich man but still can't stop cheating. Her excuse now will be that his husband is not active on bed grin
What happened now will soon happen in my area 😂

A guy is about to come and pay bride price next week on one my neighbor's daughter. A girl that belongs to the street, she's hop almost both single and married men of the community. Also heard she hop most of her male teachers.
The day I checked that girl WhatsApp I give up on some kid of this generation.

You wouldn't believe she's just turning 18, the dude coming to pay bride is 40, e wan marry her cuz she's pregnant for... (can't say for him without DNA test...that's how worse it is)


Guy's should always do serious background checks before marriage. Go her street and do thorough research.

chipet67:
Not true. Laws implemented makes a society what it is. There are more badly behaved people in the US, functional institutions put them in check. If you leave men in the US, them go still shyt for streets.
If other backup infrastructure are in place, and this one is followed up, with strict implementation of penalties on defaulters, the city will be clean.
Which law enforcer will guard public toilet 24/7?

Most law enforcement in Nigeria are either corrupt or nonchalant.

Lagos is an extremely complex city.

When Mile2-Apapa express was rebuilt and commissioned, just 2 weeks after commission the whole gutter was filled up with dirty and excreta... Law enforcement were still active, after a month they got tired and left.

May her soul rest in peace. What a lifetime sad memory for her child. Tears!

The way parents sacrifice for children's education these days is concerning.

Some JAMB candidates were escorted by their whole families (mother, father and even siblings). I was wondering why. So, the both parents cancelled their businesses for the exam? May God reward their efforts.
Disadvantage of rushing children education, during our era we were old enough to travel anywhere for exams without guidance.

These we got kids under 15 going for Jamb, so the parents have to go with them since they are still babies

Celebrities › Re: Broda Shaggi Reveals He Earns Up To $70,000 Monthly From Youtube by Offpoint1: 9:36am On Apr 19
Lanruze:
You better keep it cool.

The three (3) highest YouTube earners in Nigeria according to Kemi Olunloyo are;

1, Pastor Jerry Eze
2, Mark Angel
3, VDM.

They all earn an average of $200k monthly. Equivalent of N320m Monthly.

YouTube monetization is not child's play. The most influential streamer "Mr. Beast" earns the highest revenues from YouTube. That's why the app consumes Data.

Stay there dey Jones.
😂 People can easily fool you guys...

Aside from Mr beast from the list, the rest na capping.

View don't translate to money, your RPM is...
Those 2 guys you mentioned have Africa base viewers and like 10-20% foreign viewers.

200k 😂 unless their channels is subscription based, they don't come close to even 100k.

If you tell me Beast earn $2m monthly, I won't argue that, he has strong viewer base from countries with high RPM.

I manage YouTube channels and I know niche that YouTube pay high.. No be entertainment

No 🧢
From sponsors yes, from YouTube hell no... Do you know how much is 1m view? His 80% should be from Africa which has low RPM.

How many videos can he put out in a month?

His earning from YouTube should be between 10k-30k at peak, 70k is an exaggeration
