AND SPENDS IT ALL IN TWO WEEKS ALSO ON FOOD, BILLS, AND TAXES. In England, every month you pay water bill, electricity bill, gas bill, rent/mortgage bill, landline phone bill (whether or not you use your phone), tv licence bill, car insurance bill, MOT bill, car tax, Council tax, PLUS income tax that's taken directly from your salary. By the time you're done, your 'fat monthly salary' is down to less than 1/5 of what you thought you had. That's the reality which many Nigerians who view the uk with rose tinted glasses fail to see, before jumping on a plane to fly out there. Next thing they're stranded and start dabbling in fraud and drugs and then end up in jail. Or they might work legit for a few years, but when they return to Nigeria, they see that their mates have left them behind and now own their houses and cars fully paid for, plus huge savings etc, while the uk guy is still struggling to pay mortgage and car hire purchase payments etc etc.

o boy i'll pay times two of those taxes as long as tins work! here wit all my money i cant enjoy steady power supply, water, basic amenities; to wat use is my money then? o, wait i must provide my own noisy generator and clumsy borehole and a health care system becos i want to hav som money in my bank account at the end of the day? omo life is too short to manage nonsense, i'll pay times four of those taxes sef as long as i have faith in a system that works!

@ 30, he sounds like a whiner without a jot of common sense . At least he has parents who are supporting him and giving him a roof over his head. If he can't make anything out of that, you'll be deluding yourself if you think the solution to his problems lie in you.

scientology: it will surely come back....the solution is for you to get married...

r there married couples who don't mastu-rbate what's the world turning to

First thing you need to get off your mind is that mastu-rbation is bad! That's absolute nonsense. It is normal and healthy. And if done moderately may even be good for you and help you steer clear of STDs and other vices--unwanted prenancy, emotional issues with women etc-- till you're ready to be sexually active with someone.

Thank goodness the flood of immigrants who buiilt america didn't listen to myopic idiots like Micheal Young

sagytarius™:
All the relationships I've had with ladies were initiated by them. Currently, there is another that met me at my cousine's wedding and she is already all over me. Her calls are already rolling-in; and I know soon enough, she will overcome that inertia to tell me what's on her mind .

Buh, I hate commitments
IMHO, Being Single is the Bomb!

This, to my mind, does not equate to her asking you out. She only initiated and is drooling over you, but in the end na u go still pop the big Q? Now my question to these guys who are claiming they've been asked out by girls is:

1. How many girls have come to you at a restaurant or some crowded area filled with people to initiate a conversation, and then ask you for your phone number then FOLLOWS up within a day or two, because they find you attractive and want to start a relationship?
2. How many girls have spotted you in say a market, trailed you for minutes and then stops you at a convenient corner to chat u up and collect ur number?
3. How many girls have added you on FB, sent you a msg indicating their interest, and persist in trying to hook up with u?
4. I could go on, but my point is, how many of them have actually gone out of their way to ask you out, which most men do?

A recent pix of him. I think he's aged gracefully

Mr Troll: There's one thing that always gives me personal joy. . .
When i meet a lady newly, we chat, she's impressed, we go out etc. Somewhere along the line THE QUESTION pops up: Which church do you attend? I simply say, None.
At first there's disbelief, then mild shock, then the suspicious looks and comment. . . But after about 2 mins she 'conveniently' forgets my non-religious stance. Nowadays i just anticipate the question and then look out for the reactions. It never fails! its almost like you can see their brain turning when they finally make the decision to go with the flow. Afterall. . .

Ahh I used to lie a lot about this bit. But ur right, the whole religion rap becomes moot and irrelevant after a while. On a serious note though why are there so few female non-believers, even among the riduculously well read and exposed? Good ol' balz

luvmijeje: I'm not impress, he was only playing to gallery.

I agree. A leader should be sensitive about these things. In an environment with a broken educational system, yet you flaunt the fact ur sending 6 kids abroad.( if they are that good why didnt they get scholarships from those places?? Schools go out of their way to recruit top talent) . Fayemi is only maintaining the brain drain order, exporting our best and brightest minds who will invariably never come back to contribute, and u expect the rest of us to be thankful typical naija big man wit no sense

mazaje:

Some Nigerians are now beginning to think ohh. . .Many are travelling out to europe where religion has been thrown out of the window, many can not just reconcile the religious claims and positions they hold and the reality they see on ground. . .People are now asking questions. . .But its still a very very very long way to go. . .I just tell people i don't believe in miracles, most time I get a negative answer, like you are doubting god or you are siding with the evil one, bla bla bla. .But a few people say things like I don't even know what to believe any more. . .Its encouraging that few people are beginning to reason and not think like drones. . .

That's what bothers me. Why do u have to travel out before you recognize the lies for what they are. Growing up, i wasn't exposed to good books or traveling but just seeing how societies were functional on tv( watched from a neighbours house lol, vhs players and movies were forbidden in my house) witout necessairly invoking God or evil as we do here made me suspect there may be something wrong with us. and in primary four in my catholic school one of my bold cool friends was whipped for asking a sister/nun/teacher one weird question or for refusing to pray with the rosary(can't honestly remember), but it left a lasting impression on my mind, maybe sweet daddy jesus wasn't really as sweeet and kind as he was cracked up to be. And was mainly used as a tool by authority to coerce and subject weak people to the pervase ways of authority, of course this last thought came to me as an adult. But it helped reinforce my conviction that there was something screwed up about religion even before comprehending the defintion of atheism.

Beretta92: Nice article there.Veeery true.i accepted i was an agnostic after an extended period of intense struggle.The fetters of religion aren't easy to break off esp if u went neckdeep in the shit.It's been really difficult for me to come out,let people know i'm an iconoclast.Only my room mates in school know i'm a non-believer n i've had some influence on them but their fear is having a better part of them.Some other people suspect me since i dont seem to conform to any religion n hardly go to church,yet they dont know where to place me due to my outward disposition.Several church going mates find it hard to preach to me cos i'm overtly more morally upright than them.Everyday i wonder if i could ever open up to my family.My mum,it would so break her heart...

I had a similar experience. My mumsi was into everything; the orthodox churches did not do, she was deeply involved in deeper life and later mountain of fire, and is still very religious. But u need to cut out the sentimentality, u r ur own man/woman. To thine own self be true.. it's worse to pretend, even if people get away with it all the time. i believe you should not deny your mum the chance of knowing the true you, not the one you want to conform to her biased expectations of you. It's more genuine and sincere but I won't even pretend that it's easy, my mum is as sweet as most mothers are and i had this fear as well, but it wasn't half as bad as i thought it would be. I also think if you're good-exceptional in some othr area, say ur career or academics, it may help deflect some of her fears/worries.

musKeeto:
Good one. Though for some, the world may end.. Being able to sustain oneself financially and otherwise might make things a lot easier too..

I partly agree. especially for people who depend on the support structure of churches and religous groups to help find material benefits like jobs, marital partners, and a community to carve an identity from etc. Would be harder for them to come out but that's messed up

Purist:

There's one on Facebook: https://www./223797527734651/

Thanks.

Read the article. It's infinitely harder if you're a nigerian living in nigeria; case in point at my last job (a popular naija bank) when i was filling my employee form there were only two fields for religion; islam and christianity; fear no make me put atheist. But i eventually opened up to a few colleagues at work. And the world did not end. i opened up to family folks, the world still didnt end, In fact one of my super cool cousins also came out as well after i did. Made me happy that i had a comrade in the family circle. I only have one friend who is openly atheist (my cousin, lol) and would encourage more people to come out. I won't mind a naija atheist group at all, beyond the very useful e-one we have here in nairaland.

could it be correlated with the fact that we don't have a translation of a term like autopsy in any of our indigenous languages? if we don't then it shows we don't really care about the basic stuff. that's what it falls on ultimately

Yorubest: Yorubaland is progressing again just like they did as the Western Region before the military incursion in politics.

I urge every Yoruba man and woman, boy and girl, irrespective of political or religious inclinations, to support the DAWN agenda

Yorubaland o ni baje

kolomentality at its ignorant peak, wat happened to using the brawns and brains of ur local talent to build a world class plant, spread the love/greed to other states and african countries and compete with Pand G on a grand scale like chinese companies are doing today. This is nothing to celebrate.

Just saw this on press tv, and googled to watch it again and found it here. wow! i so agree with her abeg!!!! The point she made about nigeria being one of the ten fastest growing countries in the world with no plans...food for thought

mcdokwe: Labelling at its peak!

forlorn hope,these clowns don't know wat ur saying

some boys and girls missed class when amadi's law of proportion was being taught it seems; more mouths to feed, less food to go around. 0 mouths or 7 mouths, na the same thing, all things being equal obviously; some married couples opt to not have kids, most don't; some men choose to stay unmarried, most don't; mostly comes down to payin attention in class

bump

Kim Kardashian did okay Some big nigerians embraced her when she came. No, we don't remember she had a se--x tape floating around. The west has po-rn,and their actors mostly lead normal fulfilling lives. And the west is light years ahead of africa in every social and economic development index. Meanwhile here, we talk about how we are african and how conservative we are and about how nud.ity or sex on televison is unafrican and all that crap. meanwhile before civilization was exported here many of us were moving around unclad, sure, most of us don't want to remember. This just goes to reinforce the hypocricy and narowmindedness of the typical african

Ishilove: Does Miss Osu forget that the BBA show will still end? One's past has a way of haunting one, so when all these BBA brouhaha becomes part of her past, she should not complain when it comes back to haunt her because it WILL haunt her. Oniranu palapala

BBA is a useless show, by the way. A strategy being used by the devil to corrupt and enslave young minds is to use shows like BBA and other allied teevee programmes. We are in the endtimes so these kind of rubbish is to be expected. God save me and my household in these terrible times.

B.S. Beverly will do great no matter what you or I say. She has not done anything wrong or offended anyone apart from holier than thou folks like you who think you can project your own expectations of moral behaviour on other people. When people like you talk, you'll be forgiven to think she slept with half the male housemates in the show. What wrong has she done in being involved in a romantic relationship like most of us have at some point in our lives? Ok, she's on live TV, and is supposed to pretend to be all wood and no flesh without sex-ual urges like the rest of ur hypocritical lot abi? No--she hasn't gone down that self-righteous path, and you can call her loose and cheap,no matter, it won't take away or add anything to what she is or will ever be!

all dis bus runs, wetin be the right sitting strategy, tired of sitting next to yam sellers biko

i knew one chic who was diagnosed terminally ill back home in naija, she was dating a friend, 7 years on she's still bouncing em, wit yankee u can rest assured that their terminally ill na tarminally ill for real sha

50calibre: This is not an issue of whether or not he is worth £100M, it is given the current circumstances is he worth such amount of money? And my answer is

YES. Why?

1 - He is spurs most prized asset, and would not even consider selling him for something that isn't a record breaking fee

2 - The guy is still very young, fast, agile, skilful, has a knack for scoring goals and to top it all up, is improving everyday. That guy + C Ronaldo running 7 & 11 will be a wonder to behold.

3 - Should the guy go to Real Madrid and keep up with his scoring ways, I guarantee you Madrid is going to recuperate the money spent on him by winning the league, Champions league and jersey sales.

R u kidding me?

1. Nobody in his right senses would shell out more than 50 million pounds for someone who hasn't proven himself beyond one or two good seasons.
2. Bale doesn't have the gloss/marketing pull of a beckham or C.ronaldo, no guarantees he will recoup 100million pound of investment in jersey sales
3. He hasn't won anything, the likes of ronaldo delima, bekham, kaka and zidane were all winners before they were signed by the los galacticos
4. granted, he is spurs prize asset, and spurs are clearly trying to milk as much as they can get from madrid on this deal, but does that mean he is worth 100 million?? hell no.

In the end it is madrid's decision to make, and it could pan out either way, but for a young unproven winger at 100 million pounds All bets are off!!!

Tobbie9: see life, brilliant yoruba students struggle for scholarships while those from oil producing areas are being dashed, chai Nigeria sucks

effortless superiority is what is ruining nigeria
