TheBigUrban2: A chinese Buddhist is usually an atheist. Try and read more.


Also, 64% of Japanese do not believe in God
Majority of Chinese do not believe in God
West Germany is the most atheistic place in the world (Germany itself has 33% irreligious)

Buddhism is not atheism dear. Though it does not bother about the existence of a Supreme being. Do you pray to Buddha or any other mythical figures? Do you believe in divine creatures who are capable of answering prayers. Do not try to call budhists atheists simply because budhism is nontheistic.

Not believing in God does not necessarily mean not believing in deities. This is what is obtainable in China and Japan you are talking about. Or do atheists believe in gods, spirits or certain individuals as divine creatures?


Tell us the percentage of atheists in West Germany and how does 33% irreligious in Germany make the smarter majority?

None of your highly advanced countries is a world power. What of US, France, Germany, China, Japan, Russia, UK etc. These are the countries that make things happen in our world today.

A chinese buddhist would couple electronics and fabricate mechanical gadgets while a Nigerian atheist would only argue. So who is smarter?

MARKone: Na Children o. Invest in them educationally, spiritually, psychologically and then they will bring in money later.

There are some comforts Riches' will not give you, comfort of a child....your own child, is one of them.

There are children who forget their poor parents who suffered to make them successful. What some give their parents is not enough to change their poor status. If this happens, it means the parents will die in poverty.

IFY124: If I must choose one.I will choose CHILDREN But I know that God is merciful and will give me both

May we all have both as we desire.

Note that having one here means not having the other. Choose one and give reasons why it is better than the other?

The wish of every couple is to be fruitful and wealthy. Children and money take precedence over other things among family wishes.

Now let us assume you must choose one. Which would you prefer: to be poor with children or be rich and childless?

Reyginus: Please, friend, don't come up with the 'judge'thing. Permit me to show you the meaning of the word.

To judge, is to pass a statement implicating a person of a crime or action and always accompanied with a corresponding penalty. If you pass a statement without penalizing the party involved, you have only made a statement, an opinion. But when after, let's say, calling someone a thief, you also suggest with great conviction that he should be killed or penalized, then you have done so in an informal way. I hope you understand, friend? I am not judging him.

I will also clarify that judging someone is not wrong as long as what he is doing is equal to the punishment deserved. Saying that one shouldn't judge is not saying anything except it is questioning the crime the person involved is accused of.

Now to the issue proper. What is a man of God, a man who should hinge success outside the confines of the material, be doing with 600 Billion Naira? I don't expect to make the point so ill-grounded like that except you would want me to. Do you think I should explain to you the danger in having a net worth like that by a supposed spiritual being, a shepherd?

Pls tell us the danger in leveraging, creating wealth and opportunities, which you perhaps think is abominable for shepherds.

Reyginus: Dude, what do you mean? Is the article not telling the truth?

Your evaluation of the article is one-sided. You see only what you want to see, and in fact, the negative side of it. Try to view with unbiased lense.

Reyginus: Are you in any way saying that Oyedepo the businessman is practising the teachings of Christ?

Are you the divine judge? So living in abundance and using private jets is a sin to you. Are you saying Christ taught that we must be poor to be true christians?

Som1 has money and he is leveraging, creating wealth and opportunities and you are here hating. Do you have an idea of the numbers of families surviving through his numerous enterprises?

Which is better; to invest and put food on others' table or shune business and simply continue to live large. How would the later benefit the masses?

Oduduwaboy: I don't blame the pastor....i blame the people who allowed their brain to be suppressed while expecting 'manna' from heaven !

Akiika: Mumu Nigerians! dey jeun dey go jare Oyedepo. Dem be mumu, chop go until they decide to use their God given brain, afterall you no use gun collect money from anybody. Na between you and baba God. Nigerians are the dumbest set of people in the world!

Oduduwaboy: I don't blame the pastor....i blame the people who allowed their brain to be suppressed while expecting 'manna' from heaven !

gentlemen with superb brains, how many fathers have you guys helped or empowered to enable them cater for their homes? How many unemployed youths have you given jobs to? Why can't you see anything good in what others do and outgrow calumny? Ko so gbon ta le da, ko si wa ta le wu, ko so na ta le gba, ta le fi ta ye lo run oo.

Well done OP! Many senators, ministers, governors and other government officials have billions of cash lying in a foriegn or other firm's account as cover up. They siphon our money only to live large and establish business empires oversees.

The pastorpreneuship of Oyedepo has provided jobs for thousands of Nigerian jobless graduates and will continue to do so.

No one will arrest him if he decides not to invest the sacrificial givings, tithes and offerings from church members but only choose to live a flambouyant lifestyle.

I cry for the future of this country seeing the numbers of SSCE, OND, NCE, HND, B.Sc., M.Sc., holders graduating every year only to add to the existing crowd of unemployed youth and yet, our government at all tiers seem to be doing so little or nothing at all.

Aliko Dangote, Bishop Oyedepo, and the likes, thumb up for you all!

Rilwayne001: they never leave him alone Reading the historical background of surah kafiroon shows that they tried every possible means of stoping him from preaching islam. There attempt failed when he did not succumb to there offer, there people are daily converting to islam which brought distress to them. therefore they started oppressing muslims and chased them out of there land.



Anything bad in that?


Any prove for this ^^?

They had no problem with him and his Islam but had problem with him wooing their people and turning them away from polytheism. He was the one who started aggresive campaign against their gods and belief. See, the point here is that he was the achitect of the enmity that ensued as he tried to force his new faith down their throats. I hope you know he later achieved this.

Perhaps I would be able to detail my viewpoint later, I can't do that with my mobile phone at the moment.

Rilwayne001: How?

he started antagonising their polytheism and persuading them to destroy their gods and turn to only Allah. They left him with Islam and wanted him to leave them alone. But he continued to propagate his new religion, openly condemning theirs and converting people to Islam. He also made his intention to destroy their idols known. So now tell me who started the upheaval?

Skako: Let us look at Noble Verse39:4"Had Allah wished to take to Himself a son, He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those (from His creation) whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible."
Let us look at Noble Verse6:101"To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: How can He have a son when He hath no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things."
I see no contradiction from the Noble Verses above.
According to 2:116, it is blasphemy to say that Allah begot a son. If that were true, He shold have had a wife (6:101), and His son would have been of the same kind as Himself; whereas Allah Almighty is One, with no one else like unto Him (112:4). Begetting is an animal act which goes with sex. How can it be consistent with our conception of One who is above all Creatures? If such a blasphemous thought were possible, as that Allah wanted some one else to help Him,He could have chosen the best of His creaturesinstead of lowering Himself to an animal act. But glory to Allah !. He is above such things !. His Unity is the first thing that we have to learn about Him. As He is Omnipotent, He requires no creatures to help Him or bring other creatures to Him.

I hope hav solved ur problem? Tanx
Islam is the way so turn to ur creator (ALLAH)
Alhamdulilha that am a Muslim

why did Allah not know or understand that the 'son' Christians attribute to him is not one by consort? Why did he not know 'begotten son' used by Christians does not mean he had a wife or sex mate? I thought Allah is all-knowing.

Rilwayne001: Sorry man but your people killed most early muslims and turned them out of there fathers land.

Do you know it was Muhammad who started disturbing the peace and the gods of his country men? Do you know they warned him several times but he persisted? More importantly, do you know it was a Muslim who first killed a Quraish which was the first murder recorded btw Muslims and Quraish?

BetaThings: BRING YOUR EVIDENCE that he promised Shariah
He could have implemented Shariah as Military head of state - but he did not
You guys revel in lies

Here we have Jonathan saying he will doing Church circuits every month end, you are not talking about it!

I think you were in Afghanistan or Bosnia-Herzegovina during the Buhari's 2003 political campaigns for you not to be aware of this.

I heard this on air severally during some of his earlier 2003 campaign rallies in the north, I was not told at all. Maybe google or a personal chat with some press stations' correspondences as enquiry will deliver you from ignorance.

Introducing Jonathan and Christianity to this is irrelevant. I'm not sure your eyes are opened while reading my post.

Kog45: My Chairman take it easy Messi vs Osase,then something is wrong.

What is actually wrong is FIFA's bias

ClintonNzedimma: Even Messi haters will come and defend Messi on this thread.

Osasie works more on the field than Messi. But overall, to be truthful, Messi is better than him. What annoys me is the overrating of this guys' ability and the perpetual robbing of other players by FIFA to always favour Messi.

Kog45: You must be a basketball fan with this your post.

I know this post will look ludicrous to his die-hard fans. But honestly I have watched many of his plays keenly. He is no doubt a good footballer but a highly overrated one.

Okocha has more dribble skills than he does. Odewinge, Robben, Surez, Muller etc are not stationed players waiting for passes to make a run with the ball near 18. They dribble, attack, defend, lay passes and even score goals.

If Messi has not been fortunate to work with good players in his club and country, he would not have had many goals, prizes and awards. Barca is a strong team without Messi and so the Argentine. Let him go to Bolton and break records. He is a player below average like drogba and Eto but not as much as people make noise about him.

ammyluv2002: which 0f the Osasie are you talking about? the Osasie on earth or the one yet to be born

The man who does not only work at the midfield and wait for passes to score.

Messi does not work on the field of play as much as players like Osasie and Robben. The opportunity he has as a scorer is the many good players in Barca, but he often take the glory of others' effort as a scorer. He is also chanced to have a good country team. In my opinion, Odewinge plays better than him. Only his goals make him popular. Even Okocha has more skills than he does.

Any truthful viewer knows he didn't even derserve the golden ball at all. The German players really played far better than Argentina and they deserved the win. Messi is only an overrated player, r better than him.

Someone should pls tell that old FIFA boss to retire. His vision has become impaired.

runzlord: no. messi deserves it. last minute goal against iran and free kick against Nigeria

you make sense die! I don't know why his fans overrate him and even FIFA shows nepotism when it comes to Messi. A blind man could see what Robben and Muller played in this world cup compared to Messi.

I watched all the matches played by Argentina n Netherlands. I earlier predicted one of them would win the cup. I also watched other teams. What baffles me is why FIFA gave the golden ball award to Messi.

Argen Roben n some other players performed better than he did throughout the tournament. I respect Messi as a good player but I think he is an overrated one. FIFA has really robbed those who deserved it by giving Messi as consolation prize.

science is gradually coming back to its senses.

He has on several occasions promised to establish sharia during some of his campaigns in the north until recently when he had to stop it because he had made people believe he has Islamic agenda for Nigeria. You do not propagate your religion interests in politics n expect to win any election in a secular country. I do not hate him but I'll never vote for any past president of this nation. Let those old papas Obj, Bhri, IBB, Gwon, Shnekon, n others retire from politics; we've had enough of them.

Argentinal through to semi-final; will I become a prophet

Rendezvou: I do not see Brasil winning the world cup. But I know they'll reach semi final. However, anything can happen in football so lets watch out.

Brasil truly got to the semi-final.

Only during Ramadan? So what happens after Ramadan?

Argentina won! My prediction is gradually tending towards coming true. Netherlands too has moved to the quarter final stage. The cup is most likely between these teams.

@ mikeansy- you have a good point but I personally don't think Oliseh will be able to instill discipline in the team. He appears too gentle for such role. For the others, do you think they would deliver more than Keshi?

@ mikeansy pls list those persons you would like to recommend
