vislabraye:

Yours is also low as well if I must say. If not you must be one of the very few super intelligent Nigerians.
In that case how has your intelligence helped the nation or the world at large.
Not picking on you.
Nigerians major problem is corruption. And every other problem comes from it.

I cannot buy the crap the misguided scientists have discovered.

To be honest, i have never rated my IQ. But the way this country is, having high IQ or low IQ does not really help. This country does not recognize geniuses, it only recognize criminals that have packed the NATIONAL CAKE into their OVERSIZED BELLE.

You cannot use your IQ to get jobs or to get free garri in the market. You can only use your high IQ to defraud people. That was why i gave the
419 omo ibo boys an average IQ of 190 - just kidding - but they are pretty damn smart.

Ejiné: A COUNTRY OF RETARDS!!!

A.s.s.ho.le, not surprising with people like you constituting the majority.

Disclaimer: the following post is just fictious and any references is just illustrative.

vislabraye: I read a lot of so called Research. Its very absurd and unscientific for someone to make such claims.
Are Nigerian students not excelling in academics? There was some time ago a Japanese said Black women are the least beautiful of all races. Can you imagine.

Are they trying to say that the illiterates or semi illiterates are not intelligent. Does formal education now increase your IQ.

Let me put it like this: If we have like 100 Nigerians selected by simple random sampling, you might get IQs like:

190 (419 omo ibo), 120 (omo nna), 115 (warri boy), 100 (yoruba), 17 (hausa), 15 (aboki), 20 (politician), 30 (president), 10 (majority), 400 (WINCH), 10 (garri soakers), 15 (non-garri soakers), etc

The politians with their surprisingly low IQ seem to be more intelligent than the majority of populace, and the president should be a little better than the other politicians.

If you put all this into consideration, i am sure you can agree with me that the average Nigerian have extremely low IQ.

seriallink:

I agree with you sir, but the average should be a little over 80 now... 9ja na smart Nation o. Walahi, we get a lot of geniuses o, home and abroad. Check am nah

It is possible that they mistakenly selected more abokis in their study.

Mr. Globe:

This is very true check Nigerian music or nollywood for instance and tell me why a sane smart man will take that to heart. Check how politicians are worshiped, check how Nigerians are gullible and easily decieved. left For me the average Nigerian IQ is below 30. this people just put it mildly.

Anyway we look at it - majority of the Nigerian populace are very fooolish - that is a fact, and we all know it, whether we want to accept it or not does not matter. There are a few smart ones amongst us, but when we say average - majority carries the vote.

You are very right, but walahi, if most Nigerians are like me, nollywood go don pack inside tale tale - in fact, except they are mentioned in news or elsewhere - i dont acknowlege their existence and never will.

And i feel those politicians should be gathered and flogged in public - starting from the president sef (charity begins at home), then we should start drowning them in flood (or feed them to alligators one by one) if they fail to repent and serve us well.

The i.d.i.o.t.s are meant to be serving us, and not us worshipping them.

^^^Are you a catholic mayhaps?

This same man again? They need to take him to winners chapel. . . . .

sheyie2007:
Your IQ is obviously below average..

And yet you people are doubting the oyibo estimations? Let us just take a look at this thread alone and rate the average IQ.
That means, we need to select the smartest person and the dumbest person on the thread (i can volunteer).

Now, why all the self-denials now? FELLOW NIGERIANS YOU ARE DUMB. ACCEPT IT NOW!

Okay, when they say the average, that means that we have people with higher IQ than 49, and people with extremely retarded IQ, giving us an average of 69.

In simple arithmetic, if we pick 3 people for the test, and they have IQs of 29, 60 and 118 respectively = average of 69

So i will leave it to your immagination where they can get people with such IQs. But at least we do know that Nigeria has produced some geniuses, and also some mega-ret.a.rd.s too. So your folks should just accept it like that. It does not mean everyone must necessarily be retarded. But look at your politicians and tell me they are not. . . . .

okpara ugo: I dont know the aim of this assertion but one thing am sure of is that Nigerian students are the most intelligent worldwide. The record of best graduating student is always carried by a Nigerian, mostly in UK universities and now in Turkey. That of Turkey is a world record.

Well, i am sure they measured the Nigerians that soak garri only, and probably handpicked some on nairalanders too. So what do you think the average nigerian IQ should be?

sconsults: I will believe that it is true or it is even lower. I scored 148 on the stanford binet scale but i think if you check the average iq of nigerians adding up the illiterate nigerians. It should be noted that nigeria satisfy all the criteria of a low iq country

A) Nigerians are extremely religious.
B) We believe in ludacrious supernatural beings like ghosts and witches
C) we are very corrupt and self centered
D) we are violent, wicked and support extrajudical killing without rule of law
E) we are against things like gay rights which doesnt harm anyone while tolerating daily abuse of children by adults.
F)We kill ourselves over religious issues that are just myths and legends of the white man while disbeliving in our own traditions

[size=18pt]A our iq is really very low and nigeria is bad for no other reason than that[/size]

Sharrap yer mouth there, and stop forming rubbish, your IQ was probably 48 or lower - for insulting other Nigerians - abi you want make amadioha fire your head with thunder?

How can a Nigerian score above 100? I doubt if your president sef fit score 100!

Gentle Naaz: White men shud answer ds questions, so dat i cn grade dia IQ
1. Hu Ws d second governor of imo state?
2. Where is d main camp of bokoharam?
3. Hu pregnantd my cousin?
4. Wat goes up bare footd n cums dwn wt shoes?
Dy hv 5 minutes 2 answer d questions. Idiots .......lol, dy keep missn it lik yakubu

Lawd have mercy! Una no go kill person for here o.

Saxophemsy: Philip emegwali's IQ is 190, almost a genius...stop using urself 2make generalizations

Oahray: sorry sir, it cant be 190/200. You cant have that IQ and 'almost' be a genius. I40 and above is considered genius by most standards.

@Saxophemsy, So you do not even know IQ of a genius? That means you cannot be smarter than me - na the same level we dey jor.

Saxophemsy: Philip emegwali's IQ is 190, almost a genius...stop using urself 2make generalizations

I am sure you and philip were part of the people used in the study. lmao.

Oahray: even people wey no know wetin IQ be go dey comment. "Normal" IQ is between 85 and 115. Borderline intellectual function is between 70 and 85. Mild Mental Retardation is between 55 and 69. Moderate MR is between 40 and 54. Severe MR is between 25 and 39. Profound MR is less than 25.. Two things, either you hate your skin colour so much, you believe it automatically makes you profoundly ret.ard.ed or you are just hawking ignorance. Encouraging racism toward your kind. Na people like una help sell una people into slavery.

I know all those stuffs about IQ jare. I just find the assertion that we have average IQ of 69 amusing. This means we are all ZOMBIES! BRAIN DEAD!! RE!TA!RDS!

Let us get back to our yeyeness:

So what do you think is the IQ of our president and our politicians?

Leave all that oyinbo talk jare, you sef wey dey talk, your IQ no fit pass 30 (e be like say you get IQ pass seun small).

So in short, abductees decamp to UFO religions and become atheists.

I wonder why our churches do not preach about these things despite the fact that many of them are aware of what is going on.

Oh, i know, alien propaganda - many people wish to believe we are all alone. Please read the book of Enoch, it talks about ETs teaching man lots of things:
soccery, and some other things i have forgotten at the moment - and were mating with our women too.

And i have read many ancient books and illuminati books also. All of them point clearly to it. Too much evidences to dispute.

^^^Did i not tell you so earlier? By the way, so many gods that people worship. All them asheerah (queen of heaven), baal have been from the begining.
Cecrops was considered the first true king of Athens, although he was a mythical half-man half-serpent. So he was an ET.

virtuoso01: She should never wallow in self pity,that will kill and destroy her faster than a hail of bullets.


Dust yourself and move on with your life with more serious determination.

What has happened has happened. Learn from it.

It is a very serious thing she is going through in case you are not aware.

She is in great distress / depression - and completely given up hope of finding a husband or leading a normal life again. Her spirit is broken - she is in spiritual darkness at the moment. And is very susceptible to dark influences (more than before). She needs prayers too - her faith is being challenged.

I have once lost my sight for about 3 months for reasons unknown by medical doctors/eye specialists. I thought i would never see again and the next thing that i started thinking about how i was going to spend the rest of my life that way, to become blind at the age of 20yrs is almost unimmaginable.

Also, a woman at the age of 30yrs without a husband will start getting desperate, and to sustain this kind of accident at this particular time can be extreme. She needs a lot of emotional strength and time to heal.

She also needs to see a professional burns and plastics surgeon, i can see some likely contractures and permanent deformity from those injuries. I hope they took her to a specialist and not just a private clinic where they just do patch patch.

I will try follow up the case, possibly, i might be of help somehow. Please do anyone on this thread know the woman or the members of the church in question?

And still poor, many pastors will still try to force them to tithe if they want to get breakthroughs.

Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42 are the favorite verses for the tithe teachers because in this verse Jesus “commands” people to tithe!!!

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

Tom Brown, a Word of Faith preacher says the following in this website:

Notice Jesus said, “You should have practiced the latter (justice, mercy and faithfulness), without neglecting the former (tithing)….Some argue that Jesus’ words are not applicable to us today, because Jesus was under the Law and spoke to those under the Law. Their theory goes something like this: Jesus was giving an instruction to the Jews so His words are not binding to us. The problem with this interpretation is that these teachers are bringing Christ down to the level of a Jewish prophet or Teacher of the Law. Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, so this means every word that comes out of His mouth is eternal. He cannot say anything without it being “spiritual law” and everlasting. Jesus emphasizes this point by saying, “Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Matt 24:35). These supposed Bible teachers are making the words of Jesus pass away—obsolete and out of date.

If Christians need to use the logic of the likes of Tom Brown, then we should also consider the other saying of Jesus and obey them! Shouldn’t we?

1. Thou shalt not tell anyone about thy healing…

Matthew 8:4 / Mark 8:40-44

Then Jesus said to him, “Don’t tell anyone about this. Instead, go to the priest and let him examine you. Take along the offering required in the law of Moses for those who have been healed of leprosy. This will be a public testimony that you have been cleansed.

Matthew 9:30

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: “See that no one knows about this!”

a) Christians are not supposed to tell anyone if they get healed.

b)Take the offering prescribed by Moses to the Pastor of the local Church?

2.Thou shalt evangelize ONLY the Jews and not other people group.

Matthew 15:24

Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep–the people of Israel.

3. And say to non-Jews that God’s blessings are not for gentiles

Matthew 15:26

Jesus responded, “It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.

4. Thou shalt not proclaim that Jesus is the Messiah to anyone…

Matthew 16:20

Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.

Wondering if tithe teacher John Hagee referred this verse before declaring that Jesus was not the Messiah.

5. Christians must sell all their possessions and give them to the poor.

Matthew 19:21

Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

6. Christians must follow all man made laws including Corban offering!

Matthew 23:1-3

v1. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,

v2. The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses.

v3. So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach.

Notice, in verse three Jesus says “So practice and obey whatever they tell you…”

7. The Word of Faith people should NOT call Kenneth Hagin Sr., Dad/Papa.

Matthew 23:9

Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

The WoF community often describes Kenneth Hagin Sr., as Dad Hagin or Papa Hagin.

8. No tithe “teachers” in our midst, only tithe brothers!

Matthew 23:8

But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

We have a lot of WoF teachers.

9.Christians need to call Apostle Peter as Apostle Satan (and remember the scripture cannot be broken)

Mark 8:33

But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.”

10. Justification is NOT by faith but by obeying the commandments of Moses!

Matthew 19:17

And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

So in order to lead an unbeliever to salvation, Christians must ask them to keep the commandments of Moses instead of asking them to trust Jesus.

11. Thou shalt randomly enter into any house and thou shalt not stay in Hotel rooms!

Luke 9:4 / Luke 10:7

“Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that city.

When we go to minister to the lost, Christians should randomly enter into a house and stay if they accept Christians. We should not make reservations to stay in hotel rooms! No continental breakfast and wireless internet for tithe teachers!!!

12. Thou shalt not attend thy Father’s wake/funeral and when thy Father dies, thy shall proclaim the Gospel everywhere!

Our previous study on tithing has clearly refuted it as a New Testament practice, yet most Christian churches continue a modified version of the Mosaic Law. What is the modern day origin of this ritual we call “tithing?” According to Christian History Magazine, Volume VII, Number 3,Issue 19:

In 1895 a Wesley Chapel in Cincinnati has financial trouble. In desperation, it tries "suppers, festivals, lectures. Stereopticon shows, subscriptions, and the whole round of man-made schemes and devices,” according to layman William G. Roberts. Finally, Roberts and others introduce the concept of "storehouse tithing, "which turns the church around”. Tithing is revived as a popular practice in U.S. churches.

Now someone might want to ask "Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar":

I included a bible commentary here for clearer explanation. Read it and understand that Jesus paid the tribute to avoid a trap and to shame them.

Matthew 22:15-22

Verse 17. [Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar?] Tribute was the tax paid to the Roman government.
[Caesar] The Roman emperor. The name Caesar, after the time of Julius Caesar, became common to all the emperors, as Pharaoh was the common name of all the kings of Egypt. The "Caesar" who reigned at this time was Tiberius-a man distinguished for the grossest vices and most disgusting and debasing sensuality.

Verse 18. [Jesus perceived their wickedness] This must have been done by his power of searching the heart, and proves that he was omniscient. No more man has the power of discerning the motives of others.
[Tempt ye me] Try me, or endeavor to lead me into difficulty by an insidious question.
[Hypocrites] Dissemblers. Professing to be candid inquirers, when their only object was to lead into difficulty. See the notes at Matthew 6:2.

Verse 19. [The tribute-money] The money in which the tribute was paid. This was a Roman coin. The tribute for the temple service was paid in the Jewish shekel; that for the Roman government in foreign coin. Their having that coin about them, and using it, was proof that they themselves held it lawful to pay the tribute; and their pretensions, therefore, were mere hypocrisy.
[A penny] A Roman denarius, worth about 14 cents = 7 d (circa 1880's).

Verse 20. [This image] The likeness of the reigning prance was usually struck on the coins.
[Superscription] The name and titles of the emperor.

Verse 21. [Render, therefore, to Caesar...] Caesar's image and name on the coin proved that it was his. It was proper, therefore, to give it back to him when he called for it. But while this was done, Jesus took occasion to charge them, also, to give to God what he claimed. This may mean either,

1. The annual tribute due to the temple service, implying that paying tribute to Caesar did not free them from the obligation to do that; or,

2. That they should give their hearts, lives, property, and influence all to God, as his due.

Verse 22. [They marveled] They had been foiled in their attempt. Though he had apparently decided in favor of the Herodians, yet his answer confounded both parties, and wholly prevented the use which they intended to make of it. It was so wise; it so clearly detected their wickedness and foiled their aim, that they were confounded, and retired covered with shame.

TITHING: New Testament Practice or Old Testament Bondage?
Scriptural giving or control and greed within the churches?
Are you being led by God's Spirit, or legalistically giving your 10%?


Summary:

I know many of you dont like to read, but this is very important. But let me try to summarize it:
- Abraham was the first to give tithe (to Melchizedek)- he did so without being told, and before moses wrote the law
- The people of israel paid the tithes, but later on the levites f**kd up, and were cursed by God
- So there was a defect in the law, and the law could no longer bring righteousness
- The point in mentioning the priesthood of Melchizedek is to draw a parallel between the similarities of Christ's priesthood. A new and better priesthood had to be introduced because perfection was not attainable thru the Levitical priesthood

- The new priesthood, that which replaces the Levites (descendents of Aaron), is not based on a Law of physical requirements (7:16), but "..according to the power of an indestructible life."Heb (7:16) Like the prophecy mentioned previously in Malachi 3:4 which says, "..the offering of Judah ... will be pleasing to Yahweh", our Lord's offering of Himself to purchase for God men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation with His own blood pleased God so much, that He raised Jesus from the dead to live an indestructible life as our Great High Priest and Mediator of the New Covenant. (see Rev.5:9-10,15) Our Lord descended from the tribe of Judah, not Levi, proving that His priesthood was not based on physical requirements of the Levitical Law.

- Because Jesus' priesthood has brought about a change of the Law also, the physical requirement of the tithe, clearly mentioned in the context, has been set aside because of it's weakness and uselessness (7:18). This weakness can be clearly seen in the fact that not even the priests themselves were able to keep the Law of the tithe. The Law made nothing perfect, it only ministered condemnation. But Jesus is the guarantee of a better covenant that allows us to draw near to God through Him.

- Jesus is the only One who is able to save those who draw near to God thru Him. Unlike the weak men who were appointed as priests under the Law, Jesus did not have to offer up sacrifice for Himself first, then for the people. Jesus offered Himself up once for all, the sinless Lamb of God. Therefore God also highly exalted Him and made Him a priest forever. Heb (7:21-27)

- Because the first covenant had faults, God instituted a second, and a better covenant. The new covenant was similar to the promise of Abraham, who gave his tithe of the choicest spoils, not because he was commanded to by Law, but because it was in his heart to do so. When Christ became our High Priest, God began to write His laws in our minds and hearts. The tablets of stone under Moses )with its physical requirements to tithe by command) have become obsolete and have disappeared.

The Hebrew text says that the Levites had robbed God in "tithes" (plural) and the "heave offering." The heave offering was the tithe of the tenth to be given to the LORD by the priests (see Numbers 18:25-30). As a result of the greed of the Levites, who were to be the spiritual leaders of Israel, God said He did not receive a "whole" or completed tithe, and this was exemplified by the fact they were even neglecting to tithe on the tenth received from the people. Remember the example given in Nehemiah 13:4-14 where the priestly household of Tobias was expelled from the oversight of the storehouse for greedily turning it into a place for their own use.

God said that the sons of Levi had been defrauding Him, and cursing Him, yet God also equated this as a defrauding of the nation of Israel as well. How did they defraud Israel? Malachi 3:5 says that they failed to feed the widows, orphans and aliens. The poor of the nation went neglected because of the greed and sorcery of these wicked priests.

The reason this is important in our study of tithing is because ABRAHAM GAVE A TENTH PART of spoils without having to receive a command of the Law to do so. In other words, he gave to Melchizedek out of the gratitude in his heart to God, not out of compulsion to obey a written commandment in stone. In this, Abraham becomes our New Testament example for motivation.

Melchizedek was a priest to God even before the Aaronic priesthood was established, and unlike the priests in Aaron's line (i.e.-the Levites) his lineage is not mentioned in
either the Old Testament or the New Testament text. The Holy Spirit inspired both the writer of Genesis and Hebrews to omit his lineage so that he could be representative of the priesthood of Jesus Christ. Christ's priesthood was to be perpetual and nontransferable; in other words, “He is the Great High Priest of God in the New Covenant forever.”


Heb 8:6-10 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. For finding fault with them, He says, "Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, when I will effect a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers On the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in My covenant, and I did not care for them, says the Lord. "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds, and I will write them upon their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be My people. (NAS)

Okay, i have created a new thread called TITHING: New Testament Practice Or Old Testament Bondage

^^^Interesting. It is an art of playing tricks on the mind by satan and his croonies. And in that state, a person is very vulnerable to demonic influences - due to the simple psychology of "mortal fear" of death.

What them dey see as the NDE na satan/ETs/aluminati people dey behind am. See the nonsense thing - you died, reached heaven and was sent back. Rubbish!

It makes no sense at all. I have read many accounts of these things, but i will say i strongly suspect demonic forces at work. I have heard accounts of those that say they floated to the ceiling and were watching doctors battling for their lives - and then, they float back into their bodies

I am not doubting what they see mind you, but the logic behind it? I believe it is a way for satan to shake your belief in God out of you.

solomon111: Rubbish!!
Nobody conducted an IQ test on anybody i know.
Besides,69 is kinda low.

I also noticed something else too. It seems when measured at 2006 and 2007 - they got the same thing.
I no trust all these oyinbo people jare.

Obiagu1: A beg Mr. Moderator, release my hidden post. I can't find any rule I violated.
Maybe my analysis did not favour your people but I was on point and I abused no one.

This is not Nazi era.

Maybe the entire thread should be deleted for an Oyibo man to assign Nigeria an IQ mark.

This moderator has an IQ of like 5, for hiding your post.

yuzedo: I look left
I look right
I look left again
I lock the door
I bring out my vaseline/soap
I unzip my d(ic)k
I rubbbbbbbbbbbb
I c(u)m
I rest

I look left again...
I look right again...

Were! Oloshi!! Thunder fire your head (how dare you leak trade secrets in public)?

acidtalk: Mr SEun and his moderators, I think it is high time you people start BANNING all those who comment attacking tribes and religion on this forum.

This nonesense is really getting out of hand. It is no where funny.

How can a nation be filled with such devilish mindsets of youth who will claim they are the leaders of tomorrow yet their actions and mentality is so shallow and filled with evil and hate for one another?

All the nairaland admins have a collective IQ of like 30 (divide that by their total number), judging by the way they ban people, and the nonsense stuffs they put on the homepage atimes.

*Signs up for a new ID before them ban this one and throway key*

benebaby77: this eyinbo na mumu them be, no be that our 69 IQ na yahoo yahoo boy dey use to dupe u guy of highest IQ. Mtchwwwwwwwwwwww

No mind them jare, them wan reverse everything. Na them get IQ of 69, we get sense pass them walahi - see as our boys dey chop their money anyhow.

geeez: When you look at the way our politicians handle some issues as well as some posts on Nairaland, especially that eeediot that said the Yoruba IQ is 70 and the Igbo IQ 103, you can't but agree less with this as a national average. Well personally I've done several IQ tests and my lowest was 115, highest 141. I don't quite agree though that it isn't a measure of intelligence as it is a cognitive test based on a national average.

Stop trying to act smart, i am sure your IQ no fit pass 41 highest. No Nigerian can cross 100 jare, stop lying. Even seun wey get nairaland sef, his IQ should be like 25, if not this site suppose don move forward - it is still wack.

Ifilinwa: Don't really understand.. Abi Nigerian as a person, or a country or d citizens or d development structures, or in terms of jobs or being literate?? With all dis things happening "The average IQ of Nigeria is not more than 20"

*Faints* e be like say some people sef - them no get IQ at all judging from their nairaland posts.

FOR THE WORLD TO END, THERE HAS TO BE A FALLING AWAY FROM THE TRUTH FIRST, AND EVERYTHING WILL GO BACK TO LIKE THE TIME OF NOAH WHERE EVERYONE WERE PLAYING, AND DOING GREAT EVIL FORGETTING THAT THERE IS A GOD.

THIS MAKES ME REMEMBER THAT ODDYSEY EPIC - WHERE ODYSEY WAS TOLD BY POSEIDON - THAT A MAN IS NOTHING WITHOUT A GOD.

SO SHALL THE END BE, MANY CHRISTIANS WILL BE CAUGHT WITH THEIR PANTS DOWN! LITERARILY AND FIGURATIVELY. I WILL LEAVE IT FOR YOU TO IMMAGINE THE REST.
