I had to login to type this. Out of all banks to choose, you went for the more brazen corporate robbers? Laughing hysterically ! I still have their brand new ATM I dumped somewhere I can't sight regularly.

Dont worry,Many people are also like that. I actually succeeded in making people forget my birthday except for some few stubborn friends.. You probably started out normal until you realized how superficiality has permeated every aspects of society.....not to mention how family experiences can change one's outlook This is how you cope....Behind a wall. Magnolia described it perfectly. Now,only you can make make the change in your life. Only you. Don't live by other peoples rules. You need to restart the search for what makes you tick. I did. It's not totally rosy but it beats being melancholic. You can be Ice cold & still be frosty happy

Never love another human being too much....what's left for self love? Sigh.

Btw,Is it that some folks don't think or have Chinese thought processes resulting in cheap knockoff sub quality actions? A SLOW DEATH IS HORRIBLE! Let a train,trailer high 5 you or fly head first from a 12storey...head first. Or simply blow your brains out,anything that won't give you time to regret. Suicide is not for cowards like this.... You need guts if you MUST.

N:B I totally don't support suicide, folks should reach out for help. You don't own your life,you don't have the rights to take it either.

Love your writeup. Unfortunately... Nigeria is full of good religious people. Who would dare send them forth with a curse when even the society values have been totally degraded. Anyway I still believe Obj,tinubu,Okowa all deserve sainthood.....

SAMBARRY:
skipped the major socialization process that could have made an impact.

Do you think its easy penetrating the real Nigerian society? What do yaba boys understand as misogynism?illiterate boys.smh....wisdom and discretion is far from them

That's the point. They totally skipped that part. What does an average Nigerian even know about feminism? Having been inundated with the mostly -ve tales of how so called feminist women got their rights at the expense of the other gender? Who can they point out as a respected figure of feminism that practices their words & have +ve influence on the society as they know it? Linda? Psst!. Even Chima lives it out ABROAD. Imagine trying out this in Saudi Arabia? Even their protectors laugh & wink with the oppressors. Feminism true form builds up & supports society. At worse it promotes a healthy rivalry between genders. Not try to usurp & control for ulterior motives as it generally entails nowadays. Then it's no different from patriarchy. If they'd just followed due process like you outlined,no one would have dared lay a finger on them.

Smh,Anyway it's the pioneers of any movement that gets it rough. It's just plain stupidity trying out oyinbo trends in a country where the law doesn't even favour you as a normal citizen. Imagine LGBTs parading oshodi,boys would just look them waka abi? Not to mention that less than 2% of them really know the true form of feminism. Especially the nonsense displayed about on NL

Hmmm,that first pic...it looks like its going to swerve off. Well,it shows he's innovative. I don't know why we don't go to foreign countries, learn or even copy their tech & come back to build here. Putting aside the numerous & sometimes justified excuses undetermined men make...You'll make a fortune while contributing something tangible. Why can't we have more folks with balls like Innoson.

If trained right,they can build up bigger empires from what they inherited. A woman with brains & money is a formidable force. But if na slay queens them be.........What the fathers gather with shovels.... the children scattereth with bulldozers...

Hmmm.....I was wrong. So Op what are you going to do with them now?

Great book,many useful info there. But they are trained people. Even practiced all this in controlled environment. The ordinary person will panick. Show this to one of our soldiers, then throw him handcuffed at the back into one ordinary deep pond. Baba will still drown

I like your signature. Apply it to such situations. Don't hand over your happiness to anybody. Enjoy life. Avoid people that avoid you & don't look back. Feck them

Nigerians have a high sense of humour, see username, Oga jagidijagan lol, What just happened between you and youngex is what will likely happen to you & the Edo girl. Kontinue

Leaving aside those who want to impress .... The problem mostly comes from no verifiable info or records to buttress the claims of age for most old people esp those born before the advent of birth certificates . So they rely on hearsay or deductions.

djon78:
Your assumption is wrong
Christ Jesus has been preached since 2000 years ago and the message of the kingdom is even getting stronger.
Millions are still giving there life to Christ


Even economically many of these Churches have there members running very successful and thriving businesses better than those people who are not in the kingdom.


So how will you stay were you are, and with no results to show now convince me who have results to show concerning my beliefs and practices.

Can't you see you are the one in delusion?

Hmmm, 2k yrs ago, what about 6k yrs ago, Adam? All the civilizations that came & went then also had Gods & religions & never believed it would go extinct one day? Don't forget Christianity & Islam are quite recent,2000yrs or not. It's up to you to add to what you don't know.

As per your quote about those in the kingdom doing better than so called lost folks. I'm just like wow! Really? Well, your opinion. I don't see a relation between wealth creation & religion.

And yes. You're that knowledgeable to actually identify someone living in a delusion based on the facts available to you. Goodluck with that mindset.

nelsonoba:
FYI, I also turned away from my parent's religion, but I turned to Christ.....and I'm still a young man. If this also helps you, I will add that I also pay tithes and sow seeds too!

I was born into religion,While I strived to be the best,I also ,asked ,observed & drew conclusions. It didn't take me long before I reached the conclusion that most religions lost their true purpose long ago. Again I had questions/experiences that couldn't be satisfactorily explained or even outrightly forbidden by the church/islam. Most people at this point,would compromise. The few ones start seeking. I found out that religion is just another well of knowledge, there are others that existed even before xtianity/islam. And the irony is.....we get called fools,mad men, eccentric,demonic agents, by the so called religious adherents for daring to seek. I am the type that would like to hear Gods side of the story & then the devil's so that I can make my own informed decision. That's why we have reasoning faculties .How many Xtians/muslims are that open minded? We have been told it's so therefore it must be so. They never bother with "what if ". There's no ultimate truth anywhere.

I got my questions answered satisfactorily elsewhere & I'm the better for it. I follow nobody,but seek my own path. If religion is your forte,i personally implore you to stick with it. I still believe in God. Only it's not attached to religions.

As per tithing....it was created to mainly help the priests since they would not be able to cultivate food &perform other economic activities that would help them gain a livelihood while ministering to the people all day right? Then the excess goes back to help the poor among them. Kindly Note that. I have no problem with that. Its actually sensible.

Now if you have been in a position that monitors revenue, you would have noticed that it comes to the stage whereby the original target revenue is not only reached,it's exceeded. The cups start running over continuously.

Let's go back to modern religion now. Church grows from humble beginnings to mega proportions. In a sane society, the surplus would go back to those who contributed it in the first place.(Imagine an organized tax paying country). But no,not only are the priests now over comfortable,they turn it into a business. That's my grouse. What does the members that contributed & society gain back? Standard of living increases? Their children able to attend ivy league schools? Less crimes? Is suffering the divine mandate of the members? What would Jesus have done with 5trillon dollars when he only needed 200k? I'll stop here.

I also pay tithe....by always giving out a percentage of my profits to those that really need it.....struggling people,roadside beggars...anybody that I deem worthy of needing money. Would you be surprised I've never been broke no matter how worse things are for me while I practiced giving? Yes I made it a case study. Tried church tithing, non-church tithing & also not giving at ALL. I know which works for me. Find & stick to what works for you.

Finally no true adherent of any religion/belief calls others of opposite views names & regards them as lost or doomed,they reason civilly together even if it's a Satanist. Then if they do get to convince each other or not,they learn to see from each others point of view & part in a friendly manner. Simple. You can then continue praying/wishing for them,not condemn. That is a true adherent.

danigbo:
So the destruction of the church is your joy abi ?

To answer your question, imagine both of us back in the pre-colonial days of Nigeria when traditional values & beliefs still held weight.

Now imagine yourself as a Christian observer while I'm a pagan & you predicted the fall & relegation of idol worship & I asked you this question

"So the destruction of our shrines is your joy abi?"

What would be your answer.

Mine: It doesn't matter,I was only stating a fact. You can face it squarely & ponder on the possibility & whether you can counter that view instead of distracting with non logical emotion driven responses.

By the way, where are the idol worshippers now? There's no ultimate truth. There's always something beyond the utmost horizon

grandstar:
However, lions and other cats species are mostly extinct as none for been sighted for decades.

If they've been sighted, we should at least hear of one or 2 reports

I mentioned rural. There are places where the highest phone You'll find is a Nokia torchlight, let's not forget illiteracy. And the habit of rushing to snap things isn't one of the core villager attributes. Now the lion I said we saw,it was around this Fulani nomads area. People who still trek far distances to the nearest river to wash plates,half naked. You're getting my drift? I doubt if they know what social media is. So who's gonna report? Who will take them serious. The city bred people don't even know they exist. It's that bad. Don't mind all those reports o,na armchair investigations & deductions. That's how they said the manatee is extinct in Africa until boys kill & chop 2 big ones for Delta. Awon wildlife journalist

I'm quite familiar with some but my own approach is that they inherited these degenerative tendencies from their parents,tendencies which existed in minute quantities in other siblings but was blown out of proportion somehow in the affected individual. There's a lot we don't know about the human being & how character qualities are transferred from gen to gen. Let me break this down. A man is stubborn & was a rascal during his youth,made so many bad choices before he reins in his life. Meets a woman who was light fingered in her younger days,the melancholic type. They both marry, both trying to be the best examples to their children. They also have good genes remember? Now from my observations, the first,2nd &3rd get much attention & strict discipline. But as the couple age & the children increase, they get lax,that's why most lastborns end up treated with gloves. Now all the children inherited the genes but no leeway was given for them to develop bad tendencies,quick discipline is applied. But the one that is pampered will most times ultimately develop the bad genes in this case stubbornness & stealing & all hell is let loose. My point is black sheeps are created most times ignorantly by the parents.
Inferiority & crime (Kriez hammer)

gaby:
He would have to finish the work he started oh and I'll make sure he cracks, swallows all the bones and mops the floor spotless with his tongue.
Then, he'd be grounded indoors for a while.

Enjoy my siggy

This one off me! A whole human being!, Oga na mountain dog you put inside house? Lol.


And I sight one person up there saying dogs can't kill. Hmmmm apart from the trained killer dogs. I hope you don't get chased by a pack of Rottweilers. Na then you go sabi

They also sense accurately if you're a dog hater or lover. Woe unto you if you're the former & you near them. I've been able to touch dogs even their owners themselves fear. Why keep dogs if you only see them as a necessary evil?

#This is why your kinds and other poor souls need Christianity#


Hmmm. Says a lot about the personality. I know it might seem like your God given mandate to preach to the ......poor souls. But can you do that on your own thread. And by the way let me quote a verse from the Bible that I'm sure you do not practice.

Seek & ye shall find.

In this context.... means information about your religion, its beginning,its history etc. Try fishing & stop feeding on what is thrown at you. You'll probably end up a better informed wiser Christian or......the truth shall set you free

The broilers born in cages cackles in scorn at the free roaming chicken who tells them that chickens can live in peace without man's input. Well, doesn't it look heavenly when we see eggs & chicken laps on a fine garnished mouth watering plate of jollof rice. To hell with the free roaming chicken!

What kinda question is this? God's children of course. Although they hand it over to dandified servants of God who wisely invest it in business instead of burying the money. Sometimes these servants in appreciation build schools for God's children. Schools so magnificent that most of God's children have to access humongous loans to put their children through or rather send their wards to cheaper alternatives. After all,they all get their egos stimulated & get to scream,fall and dance away every worship day. Everyone is happy. Happy pagan,Don't forget to pay God his money. His servants don't like defaulters.

Sigh! We never learn do we. Abeg add this clause......Probably ,if Buhari is re-elected 2019.

As long as the money keeps flowing,who cares. Someone is getting paid anyway. Just look around, people are waking up,the children are turning away from their parents religions Everything has a peak,then degradation occurs. Forget about the churches. They will be destroyed by their own people.

Most of you would change your minds if you visit some totally rural places in Nigeria. There are still places where this wild animals exist in few numbers. You want to tell me elephants, lions,leopards & fvking gorillas are totally extinct in Nigeria? Kindly stop being chronic city huggers and travel around. I wonder what official statement you people rely on by the way.

overdrive:
absolute fallacy.there are no lions in the wild in West Africa.

I also used to believe that until we saw one cross the expressway in the hinterlands of Kwara. They exist. Only rare

*are children of some high and mighty people in the country that are dumped here to be remolded*

Like the signs weren't there before they collected the fees & gave them admission. Double faced schools. Refer them to rehabilitation na,says no private school ever. By the way,it's a lost war. Some of the staff are also involved. They know the routine

Well you can't compare the aggressiveness of a public transport driver to the civility of private car owners. Especially in the SW. A bus driver will rather risk pursuit & fight than pay quietly, not to forget their colleagues that will park to support them. They fear VIOs more then FRSC. By the way those officers appraise you visually & by your composure. Most Women & old people are easy pickings

I suspect it varies from state to state.

FRSC harass both public & private drivers in some states but when you go further north....hmmmm Na them gentle pass. Although it all come down to knowing your routes well. I've seen many drivers increase speed when they sight FRSC officials. Who wan die. Oga will just look them past. But if you be trouble yourself & you've got plenty time to waste. They respect that.

Brutal truth: Only the weak,uninformed or disadvantaged get harassed by this uniformed men

Hmmm. Forget about the hyena Please. E don die. Focus more on the soldiers.... Hungry looking, localized non challant dressing,demoralized aura, in fact they look like recent teenager recruits for a village team of bush hunters. How them go defeat BH?
