Crafteck1: It is not that simple, the western nations enslaved black people, indians and Asians. That they have changed does not erase their history. 1 Like |

LifestyleTonite:Naira Marley take note. It is unwise to be on the wrong side of the decency. This is an obvious ploy to boost ticket sales by appealling to the Nigerian audience . Smart Move on their part. It is a validation of all Davido's hard work. |
Crime / Re: Nigerian Found Dead In UK Detention Centre by TheLastDon1(m): 7:58pm On Sep 13, 2019 |
This is extremely sad. The lives of detainees need to be treated with more respect. Unfortunately this is the downside of a terrible international reputation. A good name is far better than Silver and Gold. 1 Like |
Business / Re: Shoprite Shutdown In Owerri As Police Takeover Premises by TheLastDon1(m): 10:02pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
AdonaiAluminium: I just hope all those businesses are insured. A crippling loss like we witnessed at Lekki can spell the end of any business. I believe those who looted are your average pickpocket looking for any excuse to plunder and kill. No person with a conscience will take what does not belong to them. 1 Like |

Litmus: Thank you. More important than revenge is the will to do the right thing. The inability of the South African Security forces to curb the bad eggs among those population is what led to this violence.We cannot be guilty of the same crime. 2 Likes |

Religion / Re: Freethinkers- Do You Ever Feel Lonely? by TheLastDon1(m): 6:58pm On Mar 08, 2018 |
butterflylion: I agree whole heartedly with your comment. I would like to point out that this situation is similar to the 12 blind men who had to describe an elephant from touch.As you already know, each was right and all where wrong because they described just a single facet of a big picture. See the big picture and all arguments disappear. All these moral schemes were made for man, and should be judged on the basis of their utility to the individual and humanity. Beliefs are as diverse as people and no size fits all. The responsibility to find what fits, lies with the individual. The belief that the individual has no choice is the biggest evil. There is a choice. Not making one is also a choice.Sticking to parental teachings is a choice.Sticking to what gives power is a choice.Sticking to what gives life meaning is a choice.Sticking to what gives respect in society is a choice.We need to accept that a choice was made. Making an argument for things that was created by geniuses years ago is futile, we can only guess at their wisdom. It is far more useful to give testimonies of the peace and fulfilment your choice has brought. I chose freethinking, it has brought me clarity and ridded me of guilt. It has not taught me compassion or kindness or love or forgiveness.It gave me understanding but not emotional satisfaction. I am still searching in church, mosque music for the completeness I know is out there. I see no point in comparing apples to oranges!!!! If we accept this point we can move to more productive conversations like 1)what are the pitfalls of free thinking and how can it be remedied. 2)what is the best way to raise children? 3 Likes |

rinrin23:You are not alone dear..I have also contemplated the meaning of existence and the place of God in the life of man. I have come to believe that nobody has the right answer to this question. Greater men before us have contemplated these questions without any conclusive result. I have felt the loneliness you speak of. The Isolation can be crippling. Nigeria is a very religious country.But Religion practised by most of us is a substitute for culture. I have grown in my understanding of our human condition. Not everybody is a thinker, just like not everybody has musical talent or a lawyers acumen or a great painter's eye. Life is extremely complicated and the burden of knowledge makes life weary. The concept of God is a useful and approximate way to live a life beneficial to oneself and neighbours without the burden of Understanding. Life need not be understood to be lived and enjoyed fully. This scheme of things is an inheritance from our wise ancestors. If you are blessed with the gift of logical thought, think away, but do not be condescending to those who you perceive as ignorant of the truth.They might just have it better than you. They might be engrossed in enjoying the music of life without understanding it. It is not those who understand a thing creatively that attain maximum utility from it , but they who use it as it is. Incessant logical thought is a burden and not everybody is cursed with it. This is my current perspective on religion, it might change with maturity and understanding. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

The government needs to oversee accountants in their employment. There probably is an explantion for this discrepancy....You don't see real corruption so blatantly...They should do their bookkeeping well so Nigerians can focus on the real corruption issues....I believe this is misdirection.. |
