Which, to you is the reasonable/appropriate number of background process that would save battery and not affect smooth functioning of the device?

Never really thought of that before. Makes Sense though.

By Nana Aisha Sahudeen
It is no news that Nigerians are extremists – and in everything too. Whether or not we choose to admit it, we are laced with (un) conscious bias. Yes, I’m saying there’s some form of sexist, racist, and religious/ethnic bias fortified within many of us ready to prowl out anytime (provided we allow it to). – And you know what’s hysterical? We twist religion to rationalize our bigotry!

It’s why we have a prowling harebrained maniac like Abubakar Shekau slaughtering thousands of innocent Nigerians alongside his senseless ensemble of fanatics claiming God asked them to do so or why Pastor Timothy Ngwu impregnated near half of his female congregation with the assertion that the holy spirit asked him to do so. It is also why self pronounced Sheikhs/Imams twist the Quran and Hadith to justify the subjugation of female rights and shun feminists – claiming God does not support such or why a President for four years, disregards his obligations and responsibility as a leader, only to emerge in numerous cathedrals weeks to re election, calling on Reverend fathers to ‘pray’ for him and the homeland.
It is no shudder that the ‘Giant of Africa’ notwithstanding its abundant Mosques and Churches alongside millions of worshippers is enfolded by pecuniary disintegration, absolute and relative poverty, corrupt leaders, insecurity, among others. Why despite our conscientiousness do we have immeasurable unease afflicting the masses? Oddly, the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Sweden are more advanced and doing better than us despite that their leaders and people are not as ‘God fearing’ as ours. These countries relentlessly ridicule us and/or the religion that we so espouse, not because religion is humiliating – but because of what we have spun it to.
One of the numerous reasons for why we have been trapped in the same (unchanged) position for many years is because we allow those in power to dupe us with religion. An average ‘religious’ Nigerian would not demand accountability from a politician because he/she donated millions to the church he worships in or sponsored thousands to perform Hajj. We are so handcuffed by conviction that we cannot even fight the system (although it is not as simple as it guises) collective action is much better than praying to God for a solution to a problem that is within our control. The blame is not just on our Political, religious and Business leaders. As pointed out in the preceding paragraph, we are similarly a group of virtuously degenerate pretenders passing for Muslims and Christians. We beseech the name of God only when it garbs our purpose while in actuality we live a hypocritical lifestyle – deceiving the gullible that we are a bunch of Godly individuals.

I am in no way implying that religion is bad – in fact I think it is liberating, it is what we have twisted it to that makes it corrupt. There is nothing iniquitous about being religious, as long as we are not two-faced about it and do not allow it get in the way of common sense. As a spiritual country, many have the ‘God will provide’ mentality – No, God will not provide. We often pray to God for better leaders, yet when it is time to vote many do not show up to the polling centre and others trade their votes for a few bags of rice. We obey and chase after Pastors that instruct their congregation to eat grass and drink petrol because somehow God instructed it. We sit idly at home ranting all day that there are no jobs while making no effort whatsoever to get productive employment because “if it is meant to be, God will make it happen”. We chase after the boy who stole a piece of meat from the neighbours’ pot and burn him alive while allowing the bigger criminals in power who have ‘stolen’ the wealth of the entire nation to thrive. We give front row seats to criminals in our various religious institutions. Are we being religious or hypocritical? What makes us different from Boko Haram, ISIS and Al Shabab who all use the name of God to justify their evil acts?
The most horrendous Nigerian admits to being an devotee of a precise religion, virtually all establishments are foreshadowed with prayers to deceitfully commit things into the hands of God even when the aftermath of such happenings have already been determined by men whose activities are nowhere near godly. ‘Playing’ with religion and/or the name of God with such an approach is past nauseating and rather revolting.
What Nigerians need is a country that actually works, one that all institutions are in place and not on the brink of collapse. To accomplish this we have to be channeled by common sense not pointless religious romanticisms.

Until we are truly sincere with God and religion and stop using and tolerating it as a tool to cover up evil, then we will keep going in circles. – And if you ever discover yourself extenuating any morally wrong or ‘evil’ act by twisting religion and/or ‘lying against’ God, then you’re not dissimilar from Abubakar Shekau – you don’t have to be a murderer and a raging lunatic to be a religious extremist.

A group of men gathered at a church conference on how to live in a loving relationship with there wives.

The men were asked "How many of you love your wife?" All the men raised there hands. Then they were asked, "when was the last time you told your wife you love her?" Some men answered today, some yesterday, majority didn't remember.

The men were told to take there cell phones and send the following text to their respective wives: I love you, sweetheart...
Then the men were told to exchange their phones so one can read the other wife's reply to the love message.

These were some of the replies:
1. Have you impregnated someone again?

2.That was then, not now

3.You wan borrow money abi?

4. What did you do again? I won't forgive you this time
5. Meaning?

6. Is that a new song?

7. Am I dreaming?

8. If you don't tell me who this message is actually for, you will die today!

Elkewwty: Jailer crooner, Busola Elemide popularly known as Asa has dropped a new album titled ‘Bed of Stones’. ThevAlbum ‘Bed of Stones’ which released days ago on Deluxe CD’s, Vinyl and Vendors Worldwide has been available for pre-order on iTunes.com since 25th of August

Songs in the album were born from her life and the shock she felt coming off the road in 2012, after an incredibly long tour.“I needed time to pull myself together. I toured for 2 years,gave everything I had every single night.

I had been the girl that was full of life, force and energy that people looked at for 2 hours on stage, and then congratulated backstage after the show. But I was going home alone, never really realizing how exhausting all that actually is…”. Said Asa

After her last tour, she just couldn’t stay home, so she traveled and she wrote. Lagos, Berlin, the USA, London, Paris…” I wanted to feel human again. Meet new people and do everything I always wanted to do before I hit 30.

I wanted to learn to swim, rent a car and drive from Nashville to New York and from New York to Los Angeles and I wanted to learn to skateboard and drive a motorcycle”.

Asa’s life is part of her songs as much as our life is part of her songs; the inexhaustible subject that is love, the spiritual calling, the need to party or to simply share a cup of tea with two friends. “These experiences didn’t necessarily make it into my songs, but they served a purpose. It’s all there! But “I’ve matured,” says the soon to be 32 year-old artist as the world enjoys her new offering.
