Christianity EtcRe: How Do I Explain To My Parents That I Don't Want To Belong To Any Religion by Timoleon(m): 7:48pm On Aug 12, 2021

So he should live a life of deceit because he wants to please some people who can't accept his decisions? So his own happiness doesn't matter?
I’m certain that there’s no where in my post where he implied that he should please his parents to displease himself. Instead I implied that he should find peace for both himself and his parents. How so? you might ask.

First you must admit that going to church does not guarantee that you are a Christian.

If he stays with his parents, he has the option of either going to church or not while they have the option of supporting his dreams and ambitions or not. If by going to church it guarantees him food, shelter and finance and guarantees them happiness and satisfaction, it’s a win win situation if you ask me.

That said, I added in my original post that if he doesn’t want to consider the few hours in church as wasted, he could as well go there and be studying online. But the mere fact that he’s in church leaves him in a good relationship with his parents. Who May also just be church devotees like majority but not Christians.

On the other hand, if he’s not under his parents’ roof, he can decide not to go because of his convictions but if he still desires cordial relationship with his parents, he might as well simply answer to his parents ‘church was fine, we thank God’
This of course does not change his convictions. He is able to be irreligious while also having parents who love and support him. Win win.

I blame you for not being firm. He’s in his store, he has rights to marketing and advertising there. While he was interrupting you should have told him directly that if he’s so concerned he should just give it the the girl himself after all he owns the shop.

Victor Moses did not proudly represent Nigeria. He was only good enough for Nigeria. What professional footballer with love for their father land retires at 27 (peak football age)?
9jaRealist:
Even though you clearly missed the point…
Victor Moses is reportedly an orphan whose parents were killed in Kaduna, but proudly represented Nigeria.

Ultimately, a country is built or DESTROYED by its citizens…
Nigeria’s condition is a culmination of the varying actions of ALL Nigerians by commission or omission (including Fulanis).

PS: Btw, are Fulanis the only killers in Nigeria?
Otherisms is primordial demagoguery, while ethnic siblings also slaughter each other in Umeleri-Aguleri, Ogoni-Andoni, Ife-Modake, etc.

Citizens are part of country, govts make countries citizens can be proud of.
These Nigerians representing other countries are not doing it from their pockets. They are doing it because those countries provide enabling ground and environment for growth. Right from their lower schools to higher institutions to professional level. There is a defined path if you choose to dedicate yourself to it. The policy of growth and development has to be institutionalized not a policy of corruption.

Countries where athletes have it all to do by themselves are the ones that rarely do well on the global stage. Not because their individual citizens don’t have the potentials but because they have been neglected by their governments.

We fielded basketball teams mostly filled with American based players despite having our own leagues but who can blame the coaches? If the coaches had gone with players from our poorly managed leagues imagine we’d even qualify for the Olympics?

Look around you and see talents abound. Look around you and ask what platforms are available for the common man to harness, enhance showcase and excel with his talents?

Anyone ever had this sad story told them by their parents?

“I had the opportunity to travel to the UK or USA In the 70s and 80s for free but we thought Nigeria was comparable to any country back then and things would get better”

Only for them to put you through a lifetime of hustle and struggle while serving self serving people like these who are almost shielded from the harsh realities of what the average Nigerian faces daily.

You Dey there ba. Bros how far na?...we thank God o, how family, we thank God o, how anything? Omo we thank God o. It saves you from explaining especially when you don’t want to or you don’t have to. And of course even though the other person knows you have cut the conversation short they don’t feel disrespected after all you have involved God.

Yeah. Had too many arguments with my dad. I learnt from it. Many of them could have been avoided by just doing simpler things like. “Church was fine, we thank God” the topic on that automatically ends with such a response and no animosity between the parties

You don’t explain to them. You live at peace with your parents. If giving them a few hours of your Sunday secures that peace, give it to them. Religion/spirituality is a personal journey. If you like go to church and study online or work online, they won’t think much of it. For the most part, people are more concerned with appearances than reality. So if going to church especially if you still stay under their roof allows you and them peace of mind, do it. If you aren’t under their roof, always tell them church was fine whenever they ask ‘how was church?’ Wether you go or not.
Seek peace at all times.

Depends on how dirty you're talking about, money as a concept is dirty, but willing to kill people dirty is a different level from say profiteering and underpaying/using workers kind of dirty.

It's not possible to become dirty rich without doing all you mentioned above, you just find fancy words and justification for them and probably have other hands do it on your behalf, but it is what it is.

BMCz, did Buhari not make this as one of the cardinal points of his campaign to free the Chibok girls from captivity? Here’s another failure on the scorecards for Buhari, Osinbajo and the entire APC.

what’s worse is that more and more groups have become even more daring. Kidnappings l/hostage think is now so common that people are not so shocked that it happened they are rather shocked that the number of hostages taken is less than 50.

For shame!
