Nigerians and Christians, I hope you are sitting down. I am going to blow your mind. I am going to share with you the secret of life. Ready? Good. THERE IS NO GOD. Your success or failure is all dependent on you so wishing and praying does not further anything for you. Life is like a casino and you can never hit 7 every time. You win some, you lose some. The only thing you can do is prepare yourself for when you hit 7 and take full advantage of it.

Bringing the foregoing within the context of Nigerian politics, i will say that the reason many young people and Christians are hurt is because we have a simplistic view of this life. Because western civilization is built on Judeo-Christian values, we have clung so much to religion (Christianity) that we believe there is a divine being that solves our problems and will come down to dispense justice according to our notion of good and evil. This misconception has made so many christians complacent, while forgetting that humans are basically higher animals who will go to any length to acquire power and wealth. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the personification of all Nigerian Christians have come to acknowledge is wrong and evil. He has nebulous origins, his shadowy educational background, long history of drug smuggling, connections with the criminal underworld in Nigeria and so many other vices too many to comprehend. But the man is a genius at understanding that the African societies in general and Nigeria in particular is not yet fully evolved in the sense that our institutions are weak and corrupt. His presidential ambitions date back to the 90s when he was an acolyte to late Bashorun MKO Abiola and he began his network his then. I will come back to this later in the write up.

You see Nigerians and fellow Christians, evil rules in this world and if you are not ready to play within the evolutionary boundaries of your society, you will continue to fail in your endeavors. The rot in Nigeria is fundamental and systemic but it came to a head for me personally in the early 2000s when our young men began indulging in cybercrime and they made headway and have continued to thrive above and beyond clean and legit citizens. This rot has now permeated our political, judicial and military system. I am a lawyer by profession and i remember the question asked by late Justice Chukwudifo Oputa (of blessed memory) that if the judiciary is corrupt, where should the people go? If the executive is corrupt, you go to the judiciary for redress, if the legislature is corrupt, you find your way to the judiciary for relief, but when the judiciary is corrupt, where do you go? This poser aptly captures the predicament of Nigeria today. As a lawyer and a Nigerian, it pains me that we have to go through this mess to realize how royally f*cked we are. If we had as a society relegated religion and elevated practical nation building, with strong critical state institutions, there is no way Bola Ahmed Tinubu would have been able to defeat all our institutions no matter how much billions he had. If we had strong institutions, he would not even had been a Governor in Lagos State. Anyways, that is water under under the bridge and in a few hours time he would be sworn in as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. And for the record, no non-existent God or sky daddy will do shit about it. We got ourselves into this situation because we are blindly religious, not fully evolved as human beings and we have millions of illiterates all over the country.

I dont undertsnad. Did i insult anybody in my write up? I only made a diagnosis of what ailment plagues Nigerian and African societies.

The white man is the closest we have to a deity in this world because he is evolved and has an orderly society. Same cannot be said of the black man who cant plan for the next 10 years.

I do not hate tinubu as he is my tribal leader (i am yoruba), but such a character and individual should not be Nigerian president.

Are you proud of the way he defeated all our vital institutions?

There is no God. Tinubu himself is a God in Nigeria because he has been able to cage our institutions.

I hope you understand what i am saying? It is humans who build strong institutions or strong men.

The white man has put his faith in his critical institutions of state while the black man has chosen to build strong men and weak institutions.

It is a very simple logic. The adminsistrative state and rule of law constitute "God" for the white man. And corrupt old men are the Gods in Africa. That is why the black man continues to suffer worldwide and all the prayers to a non-existent God have not saved him for centuries.

I hope i have made myself clear?

Happy May 29th inauguration.

holygeral:
Are U doubting God?

#Watch your words

Sure, i doubt its existence. It is an abstract concept developed by the colonialists, and now propped up by the elites to deceive gullible Africans.

Check out the development indices of societies that believe in "God" and those that do not. The result will tell you all you need to know.

Philgafauto:
Nigerians and Christians, I hope you are sitting down. I am going to blow your mind. I am going to share with you the secret of life. Ready? Good. THERE IS NO GOD.

The fool says in his heart "There is no God"

sucemt:
The fool says in his heart "There is no God"

There is no God and i am no fool.

The white man is God and he believes that there is no God.

Can you say it with your full chest that the white man is a fool?

Can you, a suffering black man in Africa, call the white man a fool?

There is no God anywhere. It is human beings and societies that decide to do the right thing in order not to need religion to give them hope. This life is very simple but the black man has chosen to remain shackled.

Philgafauto:
Our institutions have failed to stop him and no fictitious deity in "heaven" has saved us.

I hope we are learning?

Normally, the fake churches in Nigeria should have reduced but do Nigerians have sense?

I have not been inside a church in like 2 years because my eyes and brain are quite open & correct.

Can we learn as a people? Hmmmmm

Your ignorance is 100% loaded.

You believe in Satan but you don't believe God exist?

You will eventually beg for God that denied his existence.

Tinubuagbado:
Your ignorance is 100% loaded.

I will not beg a non-existent entity. What is the worst that will happen? Death?

This is what you have used to cage Africans and the black man for centuries: fear.

The black man is DEAD in the water already due to lack of development and poverty. What is there to fear "God" for again?

My brother, it is human beings that decide the kind of society they want for themselves and not God.

You can keep using death and retribution of your sky daddy to scare other non-evolved Nigerians and not me.

zelnababa:
Ad dey pain dem e dey sweat us lolz,

You can never be sure of who e dey pain or sweet until Tinubu's government goes to work. So calm down

OP is up to some solid points, but the God part is where I disagree a bit.
I'd say that minus the God part, OP is about 98% correct.

What I'd say is that God gave man dominion over the earth and "Whatever we accept on earth is accepted in heaven".
Whatever we agree to live with here on earth is NOT SIN to heaven.
So, it depends on us.

That is where Africans are mistaken.

Even the colonialists that brought Christianity, fully understand the principle, and that is why they progress.
Europe fought hundreds of wars over a period of about 1800 years before they came to the light of the truth.
There is a reason that the most heavily armed countries in the world today are Christian.
Nothing keeps a person or a nation free better than force of arms.
Africans think they can pray their way out of every situation, but that is a lie.
There is a reason why this is a PHYSICAL dimension and not a spiritual one.
Even God had to come as a human being to perform certain tasks in this dimension.
To operate in this dimension, you must ACT PHYSICALLY.
You only get "assistance" spiritually if you add prayer.
It is NEVER the other way round, i.e. doing nothing and just praying. Even the Bible called it faith without works.
We Africans have it backwards.

I thank you for largely agreeing with me. However, i maintain my position about the non-existence of any God.

I hope christians especially start acting to protect themselves before they are wiped out by the more proactive muslims.

No God will come down to help anybody.

Philgafauto:
I am pained and woke as f*uck. I just hope millions of Nigerians wake up. Especially the Christians.

Prayers and prophecies will destroy us. Its time to develop a defensive posture. and start building a just society right from our families. No God will save anybody.

As for the muslims, i cant advice or speak for them because i believe they have been planning since according to their worldwide annexation plans. its the christians in this country i pity. Time to wake up and foster unity and development in their family and extend same to the country.

It is either we have a country or we dont. If we were a serious country, this inauguration will not be happening. Most young educated Nigerians are unhappy because they have utopian dreams, while the society as a corrosive and endemic corrupt underbelly.

You made some practical points but you certainly are overreaching yourself...

It is inexcusable from your side that you are pitting an otherwise minor event against the capabilities of an ALMiGHTY GOD.

Tinubu and his shenanigans are too petty to elicit doubt on what God can do.

I think the problem you are beset with is your inability to comprehend God's nature and how He works.

It is a grievous icntellectual shortcoming not to be esconsed by the broad-mindedness the knowledge of history provides...

Adolf Hitler and the rise of Nazism provides a veritable learning point in relation to what is playing out in Nigeria today.

When Hitler capitalized on the near failure of German society and institutions to shoot himself to power, it seemed as if God was on vacation.

For over 10 years, I am sure people like you propounded several theories about the non-existence of God as Hitler continued his inexorable ascension to ultimate power...

When Hitler began to record several unprecedented military feats and was literally hours away from world conquest, I have no doubt that many people burnt their Bible and became atheists....

BUT HOW DID IT END?

In the nick of time, Jehovah God who humbled Alexander The Great, Napoleon Bournaparte and others showed up to demonstrate who was boss...

Gradually but surely, Hitler's seemingly impregnable and invincible military machine ground to a halt...

Good overcame evil and overcame it in a decisive way ...

Time will fail me to cite several other cases...

In the final analysis, God is completely IN CHARGE. HE WILL DEMONSTRATE that He will infinitely rule over the affairs of men.

He is with the righteousness because THAT is His Word which cannot be broken...

Bringing the foregoing within the context of Nigerian politics, i will say that the reason many young people and Christians are hurt is because we have a simplistic view of this life. Because western civilization is built on Judeo-Christian values, we have clung so much to religion (Christianity) that we believe there is a divine being that solves our problems and will come down to dispense justice according to our notion of good and evil. This misconception has made so many christians complacent, while forgetting that humans are basically higher animals who will go to any length to acquire power and wealth. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the personification of all Nigerian Christians have come to acknowledge is wrong and evil. He has nebulous origins, his shadowy educational background, long history of drug smuggling, connections with the criminal underworld in Nigeria and so many other vices too many to comprehend. But the man is a genius at understanding that the African societies in general and Nigeria in particular is not yet fully evolved in the sense that our institutions are weak and corrupt. His presidential ambitions date back to the 90s when he was an acolyte to late Bashorun MKO Abiola and he began his network his then. I will come back to this later in the write up.

You see Nigerians and fellow Christians, evil rules in this world and if you are not ready to play within the evolutionary boundaries of your society, you will continue to fail in your endeavors. The rot in Nigeria is fundamental and systemic but it came to a head for me personally in the early 2000s when our young men began indulging in cybercrime and they made headway and have continued to thrive above and beyond clean and legit citizens. This rot has now permeated our political, judicial and military system. I am a lawyer by profession and i remember the question asked by late Justice Chukwudifo Oputa (of blessed memory) that if the judiciary is corrupt, where should the people go? If the executive is corrupt, you go to the judiciary for redress, if the legislature is corrupt, you find your way to the judiciary for relief, but when the judiciary is corrupt, where do you go? This poser aptly captures the predicament of Nigeria today. As a lawyer and a Nigerian, it pains me that we have to go through this mess to realize how royally f*cked we are. If we had as a society relegated religion and elevated practical nation building, with strong critical state institutions, there is no way Bola Ahmed Tinubu would have been able to defeat all our institutions no matter how much billions he had. If we had strong institutions, he would not even had been a Governor in Lagos State. Anyways, that is water under under the bridge and in a few hours time he would be sworn in as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. And for the record, no non-existent God or sky daddy will do shit about it. We got ourselves into this situation because we are blindly religious, not fully evolved as human beings and we have millions of illiterates all over the country.

When the white man says blacks cannot build a functional society, it is not racism but the fact. A strong virile society is built on the bedrock of the rule of law, not prayers and prophecies. That is why the Americans say "so that we have a society of laws and not of men". Even the US, the bastion of democracy and Christianity are still not totally free from the frailties of human nature. Corruption and executive overreach still rears its ugly head in that model society. That is why the founding fathers of America took many months to craft the American constitution and the Bill of Rights in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, ensured that the guiding document had inbuilt structures to guard against rampant corruption and state capture. That is why the 2nd amendment (gun rights) was built into the constitution-- because the founding fathers, even though christians, knew that the citizens must have the right to defend themselves against their government. Enough of the American histrionics.

As for Nigeria, we should know that our supreme court derives its authority from the compliance of every strata of society to its rulings and dictates. Put simply, that institution is only as strong as we make it. Same goes for the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Section 1(2) of Nigeria's Constitution says the government shall derive its authority and legitimacy from the people of Nigeria. There are salient provisions which stipulates the requirements for any individual to be sworn in as the President but a few strong men have ignored that and want to swear in Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a few hours from now. Like i said earlier, no God will intervene because societies are built by human beings. Even in our individual lives, it is our hardwork and efforts that pay off and not any prayer. This election should teach Christians to be practical with their lives, plan, educate yourself and your families, know thy enemies/adversaries and adopt the can do spirit. Do not allow any Man of God or GO to deceive you that one sky daddy will bless you without hard work and enterprise. Do not allow them to feed you with fake prophecies going forward. If you have the means, you can emigrate and raise your families in advanced countries. Nigeria is not getting any better soon because the foundation of the country is faulty.

On an individual level, do all it takes to make it and depend less on prayer. Plan for the long haul like our incoming President who saw that Nigeria is corrupt and was savvy enough to build a crony capitalist system in Lagos State that enabled him pilfer trillions of naira from of the coffers Lagos State to buy our critical institutions and the Presidency. Though corrupt, we cannot deny his organizational and tactical acumen. He, being the robber baron that he is, knows that, other than the few western nations, most of the countries in the world are still backward, with weak institutional and legal frameworks to guard against state capture. While you absorb the pain of seeing Tinubu being sworn in in a few hours' time, don't dwell on it too much, but let it be a realization that good most times never prevails against evil in the real world as opposed to what your religious leaders tell you.

I can tell you categorically that God exist. I have seen and enjoyed His power. People may claim God spoke to them doesn't mean God spoke to them. You blame the people that said such and not God that never spoke to them. As for prophecies, they are not perfect. It can be changed, conditions can be attached to it and if it is fulfilled, it can change.
There are intricacies people don't understand. God has no religion. Not a Moslem or Christian. God is King and Owner of everything. God will give the throne to whoever He wills - Praise to His name forevermore. What the earth should be preparing for is what is about to befall them and the vengeance of the Lord's day approaching.

The body of Christ is divided in the earth therefore they can't wield any power or influence.

You blame the people that said such and not God that never spoke to them. As for prophecies, they are not perfect. It can be changed, conditions can be attached to it and if it is fulfilled, it can change.
There are intricacies people don't understand. God has no religion. Not a Moslem or Christian. God is King and Owner of everything. God will give the throne to whoever He wills - Praise to His name forevermore. What the earth should be preparing for is what is about to befall them and the vengeance of the Lord's day approaching.

The body of Christ is divided in the earth therefore they can't wield any power or influence.

There is no God and that is my belief.

Very wonderful write up.

Let's accept our fate.

Any how it comes out

I am not arguing with you.

You made some practical points but you certainly are overreaching yourself...

It is inexcusable from your side that you are pitting an otherwise minor event against the capabilities of an ALMiGHTY GOD.

Tinubu and his shenanigans are too petty to elicit doubt on what God can do.

I think the problem you are beset with is your inability to comprehend God's nature and how He works.

It is a grievous icntellectual shortcoming not to be esconsed by the broad-mindedness the knowledge of history provides...

Adolf Hitler and the rise of Nazism provides a veritable learning point in relation to what is playing out in Nigeria today.

When Hitler capitalized on the near failure of German society and institutions to shoot himself to power, it seemed as if God was on vacation.

For over 10 years, I am sure people like you propounded several theories about the non-existence of God as Hitler continued his inexorable ascension to ultimate power...

When Hitler began to record several unprecedented military feats and was literally hours away from world conquest, I have no doubt that many people burnt their Bible and became atheists....

BUT HOW DID IT END?

In the nick of time, Jehovah God who humbled Alexander The Great, Napoleon Bournaparte and others showed up to demonstrate who was boss...

Gradually but surely, Hitler's seemingly impregnable and invincible military machine ground to a halt...

Good overcame evil and overcame it in a decisive way ...

Time will fail me to cite several other cases...

In the final analysis, God is completely IN CHARGE. HE WILL DEMONSTRATE that He will infinitely rule over the affairs of men.

He is with the righteousness because THAT is His Word which cannot be broken...

How exactly does it sound to you that a so called omnipotent god, sat down and watched Hitler and his soldiers destroy millions of women and children and men, and then decided to stop him at the last minute?

And you really rely on this your nursery rhymes story as proof of so called god's existence?

The quality of the dark skinned "homo sapien" species inhabiting Africa is something of a serious concern.

What a mess!
