Something tells me that your life is a jinxed one as you sound pained ,your father deserves that shut up you used.

I would have been shocked if you had offered a reasoned rebuttal of my points.
But of course, you can't. Because your mind is incapable of broadening out to see the broader picture, the broader implications of a Gustapo-like EFCC.

I keep trying to imagine how the Nigerian system produces unthinking drones like you .
Seriously.

What a jinx.

Sambaby7640:
Nobody is against you having your own opinion but when it glorifies fraud or other crimes punishable by law you keep it to yourself. It more like saying Armed Robbers should not be arrested joor if caught,are they not hussling?.

I don't understand how you Nigerians think.
Seriously.

I , and every citizen, is very very free to glorify yahoo yahoo, or anything publicly.
The worst that I would deserve is scorn from other citizens and members of the public.

Neither the EFCC nor DSS has arrested the head of Mayetti Allah, or whatever the cattle rearers association call themselves, for the very provocative speeches they have been making over last few years regarding the loss of thousands of human lives.

Being silly , stuupid and crazy is not , and should not a be a criminal offence in a modern democracy.

Kingpee2:
Lol,the dude above me deserves some accolades,I’m not supporting his arrest in anyway but we need to understand the usage of our words before saying them,let’s pray not to get into trouble this is not our own ...I pray he’s freed any time soon ,he will only learn how to use his words properly,maybe after this encounter he might just become a gospel singer....

Sharap dia .

You have to decide whether you live in a jungle or in a democratic state.
You cannot pretend to one and then act like the other.

The EFCC is not our moral police to tell us what we should say or should not say in public.

The only time a citizen should be questioned and cautioned by the police, not the useless EFCC, is when the person incites violence or disturbs the peace by his free speech.

Sheik Abdulwaheed Sulaiman, chief imam of the state house mosque, says cases of insecurity in Nigeria are a test from God.

He made the comments during the daily Tafsir (Quranic teachings) which held at the State House Mosque, Abuja.

Sulaiman, speaking on the rise in cases of banditry, kidnappings, and insurgency in the country, said Nigerians should repent and pray to avert the current security problem.

Garba Shehu, special adviser to the President on media and publicity said, the chief imam “gave thanks to Almighty Allah for allowing the general election to take place peacefully throughout the country”.

“He called for repentance and prayers to avert the current security challenges confronting the nation. He said the security incidents are a test from God.”

President Buhari, who also spoke at the event, assured Nigerians ahead of his second term administration that he knows what to do as the leader of the government.

Source: https://www.mediahelm.com.ng/2019/05/insecurity-is-test-from-god-aso-rock.html

If insecurity, the daily and senseless loss of thousands of lives, human lives, is a test from God, then God is a lot sicker than we ever imagined.

God , if such a crazy lunatic exists, certainly has my MIDDLE FINGER .

What exactly does anyone sane human need a God for ?

deji17:
Sahara reporters and gutter journalism, history distortion and fake news.
Buhari did not accuse anybody of corruption in the 80's. It was the people themselves that writes petition to the Military Tribunal, who in turns bring the accused in for questioning and prosecution under the military rule.

Lawd have mercy!

The Oshodi-Apapa Expressway is very crucial to Nigeria’s non-oil economy.

This 32-kilometer dual-carriageway is one of the only two major routes to Nigeria’s busiest seaports – the Apapa and Tin Can ports.

The Apapa and Tin Can Island ports handle about 80% of the cargo that comes into Nigeria.

Tragically, this important expressway - specifically the Mile 2 - Apapa section of this expressway -  have become a source of pain, sorrow, agony and national embarrassment.

The commercial breadbasket of the supposed superpower of Africa.
What a shame.

This House has truly Fallen.


When are we going to start stoning our leaders ?
When ?

kenechukwufrank:
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Sunday, returned to Nigeria after ten days trip to the United Kingdom.

The presidential jet touched down at about 6.20pm on Sunday, at the presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport, Abuja.

On his return to Nigeria, the President said he is ready to settle down and swear in the new cabinet.


He, however, refused to comment on those who will make his next cabinet.

Buhari said this while fielding questions from reporters.

A reporter asked him, “What kind of people will make your next cabinet?” and he responded: “I won’t tell you.

“But I am ready to settle down and swear in the new cabinet.”



see old cabinte reaction https://www.anaedoonline.com/2019/05/05/i-wont-disclose-those-eligible-to-be-in-my-new-cabinet-buhari-insists/

Totally useless people who do not understand the ABCs of leadership and governance.

What can be so secretive about potential cabinet members.
Wouldn't this be the best time to name them or at least float their names for both official and unofficial vetting by the public and media ?.

Amujale:
Theres is a better, more sensible way of making your point without wishing harm on yourself that much.

But i will leave you with your bitterness, i hope you change your mindset because Nigeria deserves more than people with your kind of mentality.

Your arguments are coarse, baseless, sensless and lacks positivity.

Whether you think Nigeria or all other African countries are real or not is besides the point here.

Lets deal with whats infront of us today, and the country we inherited from colonisation is called Nigeria.

That is the reality infront of us today.

Nigerians today stand petrified at what confronts them on a daily basis, talkless of the dark , bleak tomorrow.

What confronts you is a house that has fallen, fallen because the contractor attempted to build on a fraudulent foundation.

Rather than make the necessary corrections early enough and at important junctures, he buries his head in sand( much like what people like you are doing ) , continues to use much cheaper construction materials to patch the obviously cracked and leaky foundations. The house is nowhere near completion. He is too dishonest to start afresh, and continues to delude himself that " by the grace of God " his house will stand, even against the laws of gravity.

This house has Fallen.

No "hail marys" about that.

Geesus !!

" to PROOF my level of ingenuity and fecundity to a FACILESS..., " .


Sir, you have made your point loud and clear ; that you're an illiterate.
Case closed.

First of all , I didn't come here to massage ,color your delusions nor sing kumbaya with you.
If you are incapable facing bitter facts, then you are the one to be pitied.

Amujale:
Well you need to re-educate yourself and stop hatinf yourself so much.

Lol .
Nigeria provides enough education for anyone who wants to study a failed state.

Few examples:
Your president is presently out the country for 10 days now . The Nigerian public does not know exactly where he is, what he is doing and when he will be back.
He supposedly travelled out on a private visit, but with taxpayer planes, taxpayer entourage, and presently accumulating taxpayer expense liabilities.
He subverted the constitution, first by not formally writing the national assembly , and secondly by not handing over control of the government to his vice president.
So, your so called country rots and stinks from the very top.

Where there is no order, how can there be progress?

You're too scared to look in the mirror, because you're too coward to accept and come to terms with your ugliness.

Amujale:
You seem good at describing yourself and your delusions.

You arent coming across as someone sensible.

Im guessing you are NOT Nigerian?

Are You?

If you are Nigerian, then get off your fat *rse and work for Nigeria.

You display so much hate for yourself its scary dude.

Again , I see the kneejerk reaction of an unthinking and very narrow minded troll.
For the records, I have toiled and sacrificed for my optimism for better Nigeria more than you can imagine.
Nigeria is not a nation, and cannot ever be a nation until people like you get off that delusional weed , face the truth , go cold Turkey, and then begin to expand your dilapidated minds .

fabyom:
Guys are making billions in this country daily. The idiots are in another man's country where they call them animals. So who is in a zoo?

Lol.
Did you go to school at all ?
Look at this uneducated troll.

What is the per capita income?
Do you even know what that is ?

Mor..ons everywhere.

teufelein:
Stop the hogwash, with that your micrencephalous brain you failed to grasp the logic thus frightening the reason to teach you and to nourish your mind. You're inherently bred stupiid and acting a gameplan either way you've failed in both tests. For me you're unlettered. You can't be like those nations you mentioned because you would never be a Nation, not in million years.

THE GREATEST KILLER OF BLACK AFRICANS IS NOT MAN MADE DISEASE SUCH AS EBOLA BUT IGNORANCE AND INABILITY TO REASON

What is a Nation?

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a nation is "a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular state or territory".

The simple question for those erroneously referring to themselves as Nigerians out of ignorance is, does this definition of a nation apply to the British created human Zoo called Nigeria? If the answer is a resounding no, why then have these dim witted, half baked intellectuals insist on calling Nigeria....sorry the Zoo their nation?

Even in the next one billion years the British created zoo will never attain the status of nationhood. Biafra all the way.

Now go and busy your mind on how to create yoruba or fulani nation or whatever ethnic nation, we've nothing in common, maybe only our humanity and skin colour.

.
Thank you a million times.
I could not have said those things better.

Amujale:
Well call me ignorant but what you claim to have acquired in Western knowlegde, makes you lack common sense.

Where are you from?

Who are you?

Where do you claim?

Ask yourself these questions, answer them and come back here to write with your sensible head on

Because your education is of no use to anyone if you cant jump on the bandwagon of progress.

Im afraid its YOU that is the waste here,

Waste of time,.
Waste of money to get you "educated"
Wasted vision, or NO vision

Why waste all those years in a higher institution to come out with a broken-biscuit view of the country that educated you?

Stop and Think!

A total waste of space is what you are.

If you brain was a battery charger, youre brain couldnt charge my phone pass 8%

Garbled nonsense.

The first obligation that every human being owes him or herself is to tell yourself the truth. You're very mistaken if you want claim greater patriotism than I .
If you keep lying to yourself , you isolate yourself from reality and self improvement.
Believe me, the better Nigeria that we have all dreamt of can only begin manifest the moment we sit down, tell ourselves some very harsh truths , and accept those truths.
I have not seen any nation in history built on lies, fraud, wishful thinking and self- delusions.
Believe it or not there is a template for industrial growth and economic progress. Over the past 100yrs, we have seen many many nations adopt such templates, and we have witnessed the results.
But a nation of fools will take one step forward and two steps backwards till eternity , because they are unable to purge themselves of falsehoods and delusions , unable to face truth and embrace it.

Rossikk:
Dude, you are just a loud ignoramus with a defeatist mentality.

I haven't much time to dismantle the garbage you typed up there point by point, although it is easy to dismantle. But I'll just make a few salient points.

1) Britain, at both the dawn and height of its industrial revolution, was a cesspit of corruption, criminality, child slavery, and mass poverty. Read Dickens.

2) China 30 years ago, at the dawn of its industrial transformation, was the world poverty capital with no political stability, weak institutions, very poor education, massive corruption and dictatorship, very poor power supply, and a middle class whose primary mode of transportation was bicycles.

3) America, at the dawn and peak of its industrialisation, was a hellhole of disunity capped by a bloody civil war, and succeeded by a society riven by racial discrimination, a virtual APARTHEID system backed by law, and astonishing wealth disparities which continue till this day, with the top 1% of the population owning more wealth than the bottom 50%.

4) The Soviet Union just over 60 years ago, was a nightmarish hell suffering from starvation and dictatorship, with Stalin personally responsible for the murder of 30 million of his own people.

5) Germany, a century ago, suffered grievous defeat in WW1, with her society economically shattered, which led to the rise of Hitler, who proceeded to lead her into ANOTHER disastrous war, just under 60 years ago, in which over 10 million Germans were slaughtered, including 6 million European Jews, with Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, and other cities bombed to smithereens.

If ALL these nations could pass through these monstrous challenges and come out better and developed, so too can, and will, the Federation of Nigeria.

MANY THANKS.

My friend, every post exposes your stark ignorance and the fact you have not done a single case study of any of industrialized or emerging nation.

Now, to be honest, I cannot say that I despise your optimism. In fact, I have been an optimist and a dreamer for a better Nigeria for all my adult life, until recently. I just recently stopped deluding myself and accepted the fact that Nigeria is not a nation, does not yet have a working system of governance, and cannot ever be workable under current arrangement. For anyone to talk of industrial revolution under this chaotic failed state is either very dishonest or very delusional.
No amount of daydreaming can change the fact as of 2019, we don't have a system of policing to protect citizens and maintain law and order.
How do you build a nation without law enforcement and security ?
We cannot conduct simple elections.
The army is incapable of protecting the citizens from local and foreign militias.
The local government system does not function.
We don't even have an organized taxation system, something the Romans had over 2000yrs ago.
Should I even begin to talk about the dilapidated educational system ?

How do you build an industrial nation when you have hoards of Adeboyes, Oyedepos in every street corner selling and feeding your populace and suffusing young minds with mind-numbing toxic middle east stone age trash ? How ?

If only prayer power was a usuable form of energy, then Nigeria, being the largest producer of prayer power in the world, might be an industrialized nation.

It is quite easy today to assess where a nation is, where it has come from, and then from all the factors on ground, project , with a high degree of accuracy, where that nation is heading.
In the case of Nigeria, I am deeply sorry and equally pained to tell you that there is NO spec of light at the end this tunnel.

My friend, like I said before, I cannot be harsh on you for being optimistic, but I will call you out for being delusional and clutching at straws to support your delusions.

Rossikk:
The problem with people like you is that you are ignorant of the world we live in. Because of your colonial history, your focus when thinking of the outside world is the 20% that makes up the industrialised west. The other 80% of the world, which comprises the developing world, might as well not exist as far as your thought processes are concerned. So you have no clue how nations actually develop. Your only reference point is the developed nations. Which is why you think we need to have optimal power, like them, before we can pursue industrialisation. You are wrong.

The truth is that the majority of economies on earth are ''generator'' economies. Power shortages are the NORM across the world, not the exception. Nations DO grow economically, even with power deficits, and the economic growth is what spurs greater investments in the power sectors of nations. But you put the cart before the horse, by expecting optimum power supply BEFORE industrial growth can occur. But that is NOT how it works. Industrial and economic growth is FOLLOWED by incrementally greater power output, generated and distributed to meet the demand for power generated by the industrial growth.

I laugh that you actually call me ignorant, and then go to expose your own level of ignorance.

First of all, if you know the meaning of industrial revolution, you wouldn't have made the really really ignorant and grievous error using Nigeria and industrial revolution in one sentence or statement.
As a university course, I studied in great detail the industrial revolutions of Britian, The United States , Japan, South Korea . This was long before the emergence of Taiwan, Malaysia, India and China as new industrial powers.

Therefore, anyone who thinks or deludes themselves that you can grow and nurture a failed and dilapidated wasteland like Nigeria into an industrial power with genetators is an ignorant pathetic mo.ron, for want of gentler words .And I'm sorry if that offends you.
Nigeria possesses no single factor, ingredient, strength or trait that are vital for economic progress , talkless of an industrial revolution . Not a single one.

No homogeneous culture.
No history of unity.

No political stability.
No stable administrative institutions.
We don't have any quality education at any level.
Very poor science and math skills.
We don't have a long term development plans.
We have no robust transportation sector to seamlessly move goods and people .
No stable power supply.
Corruption at every level of governance and administration.

The very fact that more than half the States of the federation cannot pay workers salaries from month to month, upwards up to 28 months is alone indicative that Nigeria does not even have a workable system of governance.

And should I give an example of Ajaokuta Steel, the biggest white elephant in the history of the world ? 40yrs, $20b or more, and Not even one single steel rod.
And you're talking about an industrial revolution ?
My friend, stop deluding yourself.

Production level in the sector grew by 58.8 points, making it the twenty-sixth consecutive month of expansion. Production expanded at a faster pace than in March.

Eleven of the 14 manufacturing sub-sectors surveyed recorded surged in production, while the remaining three declined.

The gauge of new orders grew for the twenty-fifth consecutive month in April as ten of the sub-sectors reported growth and four experienced dropped in new orders.

Job creation in the sector stood at 57 points in the month, the twenty-fourth consecutive month of increase.

Industrial revolution in a generator economy .

People deceiving themselves.

KingLennon:
She has the right to express her pain but should it be on the detriment of another person? And you have concluded that Mr churchill is a fraud. Its pathetic!

Most celebrity marriages are usually a sham. I knew from the beginning that the marriage was a sham . The guy has the hallmarks of a fake person.
It still hasn't been fully defined as to what he really does for a living, but we know that he buys positive publicity. Real rich and successful don't go put of their ways to be seen as rich and successful. Empty vessels usually make the loudest noise.
So, Tonto only confirmed what most people had suspected all along.

KingLennon:
Birds of the same feather flock together. See her concluding that Mr churchill is a narcissist. God save us from bad women

A 419-ner, as you call them, is a narcissist by default.

I agree with the poster. Tonto has the right to out the fraudster and express her pain anyway she feels.
There should not be double standard on how we view romance-gone- wrong .

NgeneUkwenu:
Good! If you didn't like it, relocate to Ochanja Market and leave us alone..

Itesiwaju Ekoo!!!

Go and find job or find a way to make a living for yourselves , instead of shamelessly trying to leech and freeload on the toil of others.
Begging for alms is much better and much more dignified than surreptitiously leeching on the toils of other people.

Donelli:
In retrospect, I have considered my many years of interaction in the SW and I see a recurring factor. Yorubas claim Igbos are chestbeaters but they are usually prone to tooting their own tiny horns.

To an Igbo man, it's all about trying new things (or old things in new ways/places), blazing the trail and letting the results speak for themselves. The typical Yoruba on the other hand, always wanting to measure d1cks, will struggle to prove he can do thesame...funny thing is, the people you're TRYING to compete with don't even do you the honor of seeing you as worthy competition. We Igbos, knowing our innate capacity among ourselves, consider each other a potential competition, better still, the Asians, Europeans and Americans.

If you check closely, it's this need to measure up and not feel left behind in the scheme of things that brings about these weightless attacks on the Igbos.

In their lack of better argument, they find reprieve in the belief that an Igbo man will never be president in Nigeria.

A million likes.
I couldn't have said it better without offending anyone. So succinct. You captured it perfectly.

What I wish all those Igbophobes would realize is that the average Igbo person does not compete with anyone.We compete with ourselves towards the goals we set for ourselves.
Anyone who thinks he or she is competing with Igbos, whether in academics, business or other enterprises, is deluding themselves. The Igbo person is so obsessed with his own personal goals that he has no time to look sideways or backwards.

Nigerian Stock Exchange
Dude, why are you embarrassing your parents?
NSE is a national assest, beyond state's purview.
The state government/StateHOA makes laws governing the traditional institutions, thus, empowering traditional custodians be in charge of affairs within the authority of the state.
Why do you think they are being installed and given the staff of office by the governor of a state?
If the laws empowered they take charge of all state's controlled markets, so be it.
Go back home & ask your parents if there are no chiefs in charge of market affairs in your homeland. Maybe your chiefs are just palace mannequins only useful at breaking kolanuts during palace meetings.
Ignorance is bliss.



-Lion

My dear friend, tell the truth and Shame the devil.
The Iyaloja and babaloja, even in Yoruba tradition is a
feudal monarchy system that existed to subjugate, extort and exploit market women by proxy.
This medieval feudal fckery has no place in a 21st century FREEMARKET system.

Make your simple choice: Medieval Feudalism or Modern FREEMARKET system.

Having one foot in both makes you an opportunistic freeloader.

AbaLion:
Dude, you're first class olodo.
Both iyaloja/babaloja are traditional chieftains appointed by the Oba and approved by state's traditional council. Traditional institutions l are empowered by extant laws to oversea domestic/local affairs as was equally recognised by the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.
Like other chiefs, they are responsible for overall welfare and accountability of local markets.


-Lion

Since you're the genius here, kindly explain the role of Iyaloja and babaloja in a modern constitutional democracy, except for EXTORTION ?
By your cognitively dissonant logic, your Iyaloja and babaloja should also be overseeing Ikeja City Mall, other local Malls . In fact, they should go a bit further and oversea Customs street, venue of the Nigerian Stock exchange.
Empty Hypocrite . You claim modernity and sophistication when it suites your opportunistic whims, and then revert back to so-called tradition when it offers you an opportunity for unlimited EXTORTION.
Shame on you .

mainman7:
Sharap there! Which extortion? Who is extorting who?! The way you idiot Igbos think say na una get sense pass and twist talks to paint those you are reaping off bad is just too alarming. Igbos are legitimate 419ers, you are even worse because you don't just reap people off, you still heartlessly rubish them after you've swapped their hard earned fortune. You import fake goods and flood Yoruba land with substandard goods to 419 us and rake in our monies into your account. You then buy our lands with our own Monies that you cunningly raked in and starting forming boss on our people. So many die daily from the fake pharmaceuticals you sell in our Land. Only Satan himself could be this inconsiderate and heartless!
You sell us inferior roofing sheets that quickly turns brown and you still turn around to call us brown-roof republic. Igbos are the most satanic people on Earth. Everybody should verify this: 1inch (18ft length) plumbing pipe is N650 in the East, they refused to supply this to Osun State, rather they supply and sell far reduced substandard 1inch (13ft) plumbing pipe to us at same 650. Go to Aba and then go to Ile ife to compare this discovery. This is same for other things they supply to SW region. Short-changing and ridiculing the only people that truly accommodate them. Igbos' ill-gotten wealth. If you see snake, see Igbo. You better quickly kill the Igbo first because they are more dangerous than snakes. Yorubas' eyes has open, we are starting Businesses and taking back the conttol of our Economy.

Lol.
I don't know which is a worse case , your intellectual deficiency, your hateful heart, your low self-esteem, or your very poor English and poor spellings.
You're a real product and poster boy of a decrepit system, a shithole system.

AbaLion:
Mumu talk.
The constitution allows for states to domesticate laws as it affects them.
Go to Kano and stop Hisbah police. Rubbish!

-Lion

Oh really ?
So the constitution has legalized Extortion for institutional Touts masquerading as Oyaloja and Babaloja ?

Which part of Lagos State Law or municipal by-laws provide For this particular Extortion Racket ?

Laidebrain:
Seriously bruh! It's just a matter of mentality and perception. If you feel all heads are criminals and mode of extortion, then good for you.. Am not too sure I can change your mindset. Enjoy the rest of your evening bro

Likewise, if you feel that a family or set of families have the right to reap from the sweat of other hardworking people, and you call that your culture and tradition, then live with it.
But stop trying to rationalize the forceful subjugation of unwilling victims of your EXTORTION culture.
We live , or should I say, we are pretending to live a modern democracy, where the rule of law and constitution guarantees individual liberty and freedom of assembly.

Laidebrain:
At least you are Yoruba, so maybe you will understand what I want to tell you without any ethnic rationale..
Having a head is just as normal as having a managing director, they bring sanity to a place of work, Iyaloja and Babaloja brings sanity to a market place. At least you hear of touts , thieves, rogues and all sort did people that make you fall victim to things you never would have imagine, who do you held responsible for such... Let's see the positive side of issues like this rather than looking at what the negative side might look like

Lol.

Same way that a Mafia Extortion Racket promises to protect their victims from crime , right ?
Nigeria can never be a nation because people like you rationalize , normalize and institutionalize criminality.

Call a spade a spade.
The Iyaloja and Babaloja is nothing but Criminal EXTORTION racket, hiding under the camouflage of tradition.
In Italy and other countries, this type of extortion system is called the mafia, and the participants are usually busted for running a criminal enterprise.

Imagine in this modern era, An institutionalized culture of EXTORTION continues maintain and expand it's reach.

This is why this ZOO CAN NEVER EVER evolve into a Nation.

BlacSmit:
Only a fool would buy any property not related to the oil and gas industry in Nigeria for above $10million at the moment.

You can say that again.
That same structure would not be worth $250m in Manhattan or London, talkless of being located in the cesspool of filth in a generator economy.

Everyone has the right to believe what he wants. You chose your path and I chose mine.

At the end of the day we would both reap that which we have planted. Your choice is respected even by the Source, whether you reject Him or not.

I perceive that your hatred of the Source is because He doesn't come down to the level of your imagination. No problem, stay in your lane and let me go in my own lane.

Those who are lost deserve to be found but those who deliberatly left as a form of escape deserve their new freedom.

Lol.
For me to hate somerhing, in this case your supernatural source, there has to be , at the very least, a presumption that the source Exists.
I cannot hate an imaginary thing.
I can , however, despise the NOTION of an imaginary source, for the simple reasons that the NOTION itself is an ill wind that has blown humanity nooo good from antiquity to the present.

Religion is simply man's actions and activities directed at pleasing the divine Source.

Really ? From dictionary did you get that ?
Religion is the veneration of a deity, real or imagined. In fact, the deification and veneration of a living person or object is often referred to as a cult, whereas, the veneration of dead, inanimate or imaginary object or being is referred as a religion.

Your divine source, the matter how romantic and pleasing and assuring it sounds to all of us, is still grounded on human imagination, at best, a mere speculation.
So, you can see that from your definition alone, trying,in your words, to please an imaginary(unproven) source is a great folly wrought with many many dangers.
Since the source is based purely on human imagination, everything about the veneration of the source becomes a free for all make-it-up-as-you-go circus, characterized by political struggle for power,exploitation, fraud, and evil

shadeyinka:
n Religion is a pure waste of time, energy and resources.
However,
If God does exist, there must be a reason why He gave us life and an opportunity to make this planet a beautiful place.

Again, I can equally say that if the Flying Spaghetti Monster Exists ( Even though there is no reasons for its existence and and no scientific evidence), there there must be a reason why IT gave us life and an opportunity to make this planet a bountiful place.
Do you get my drift ? Saying that if a"Hypothetical" Being or Source exists, there must be reason for it's existence, makes no logical sense.

shadeyinka:
Worship of the Source is meaningless if ones actions mess up the creations of the Source who are expected to live together in harmony. Hence, the greatest commandment has to do with Loving the Source and your fellow man like you love yourself.

I don't know if you see the above commandment as evil and unnecessary?

First of all, the creation was already messed up from the so-called source. The bible, upon which must worshippers quote as their religious authority tells us that the assumed, so-called source himself is the source of all evil. The bible gives uncountable instances of such evil supposedly commanded by the so-called source and carried out by his so called agents and worshipers.

There is nothing that pits man against man, man against his brother like religion. The world's religions boast an un-ending swath of blood from every generation to generation, and from every corner of the world to another.
