IT'S NOT FAIR--STOP MOCKING US!

A theist recently complained that I mock religious views. She said, "You're entitled to your beliefs but I find it strange that if you don't want people mocking yours that you spent so much time mocking other people." Here is my reply:

I would be delighted if you would mock my beliefs. Have a ball! We need more fun in the world. People taking their beliefs too seriously leads to much tragedy and sadness.

Just one thing though--make sure you know what I believe before you start mocking. I rarely talk about my beliefs and not believing in a god is not a belief (the clue is in the words--not believing).

So I'll give you one of my beliefs to start you off. I believe electric, self-driving cars will become ubiquitous over the next 25 years or so. They will make our roads safer, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and spawn whole new industries (as well as shaking up old ones).

Now, I'll sit back and await your mockery. Problem is, this belief is just not as funny as believing a Jewish Rabbi who died 2,000 years ago will soon come back to life. Or believing there's an invisible man who wants all men to cut off their foreskins and watches everyone take a shit.

Last Year, soldiers from the 176 Special Forces Battalion, the special operations element of the Brigade of Guards, killed three of Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky's son. Few weeks ago, Boko Haram insurgents detonated a suicide bomb during their procession, killing several memebers of the Islamic Movement.

Let it be known, that the Shi'a in Nigeria have been victim of government and insurgent repression from the days of the regime of late General Sani Abacha. Today, they have been extra judicially killed again by the NA under a flimsy excuse of an attempted assasination of the COAS

The major violent clash the shi'a were involved in was between them and Izala Moslems in Nigeria few years ago which was precipitated by Shi'a practise of cursing Aisha(RA) and the companions of the Prophet(SWA), a practise that has been condemned by the Supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Sayyid Khomeni, in one of his fatwas.

Can you please rewrite what you just wrote?

This time in a comprehensible Language.. Thanks

I didn't listen to the press conference you are speaking of.. I don't know what the School management said or didn't say.. And that has no bearing whatsoever on my previous comment.

The crux of that post is that You guys expect so much when you pay very little.. And Until Your SUG understand that they are a bridge between the Students and the Management, OAU will keep having this sort of problems.

The basic facts remain that University Education is highly subsidized and we all know it.. Even with all these complaints of neglect and all, the value of those hostel accommodation is way way more than your accommodation fees + Development levy or whatever. At least, you know how much illegal sale of bedspace in your school costs and I'm sure it goes for around 30k or more. Therein lies the selfishness of students.

You all believe hostel space is valued more than what you are paying for but you'd rather pocket that cash in shady deals than pay that same amount to the school management.

I'm not holding brief for the Management.. They are as corrupt as they get. But my grouse is the students expecting the management build heaven on earth for you when you pay close to nothing and the government subventions are less than a 10th of what the University actually needs.

There are very simple approaches, students/SUG can take to make things easier for students and management alike. Like basic sanitation. What will it cost students in that hostel in the pix you posted to clean up that mess and enact a rule preventing such? Nothing... But you'd rather leave it there and blame the management.

I remember during my time in Uniport, every member of my hostel wing contributed 500 and we fixed our toilet and the plumbings, and shared the toilets and bathrooms according to rooms. Each room maintains and cleans theirs. And we were all better for it.

The Earlier your SUG realise that the management isn't an enemy but an important stakeholder they must work with to move that campus foward, the better for all of you.

Don't mind them

How much is their school fees?

How much do they pay as hostel fees? less than 5k right?

They should take that cash and go get a room with water and steady light in a neat environment off campus.

It's not like they clean the environment themselves, they will still waiting for cleaners on top hostel fees of less than 5k

If school management propose an increase in fees, they will strike.. Yet they want heaven on Earth..

Come on, this is a university, you have people studying engineering, architecture, plumbing, woodwork etc. Why don't they put what they have learnt into practice in their school. Gone are the days when young people were happy to do community work. These days the women just want to sit on the sofa looking pretty with human hair watching African magic while the men want to do yahoo and show off in the club.

Na hand dey repair things not crying and complaining.
