OMO IBO: christianity is very tolerating and thats the reason most pple say things about it and still get away with it. u dare not say or use islam in a negative form and think all is well. u will be lynched. thats how i expect religion to be.

demelza: Why do you go up and down insulting the physical attributes of others? Dude you know you aint no prize yourself??

LesbianBoy: Lmao.....They are obviously hating! Anyways, its ok to hate sha as far as they can't stop THE MILLIONS entering the 20YR OLD musician's bank account, its fine by me!


NB: Davido is (as we speak) going to kenya to perform in a big show, and you all haters know what that means MILLIONS would have entered his account before he decides to go there! so let u haters keep talking na una go
tire! *spits*

birdman: Sorry, but talking about black on black crime makes no sense. Thats like saying OBL killed 3000 people on 9/11, but lets focus on the 100,000 people killed in american on american crime. The issue is not so much the crime - that happens all the time - its the fact that you can get away with it. Until you show me a black on black crime where the police let the killer walk, stfu.

Mr anony: Lol, of course, suppress the voice of opposing views. How tolerant.

rfams: Right from time, P-Squares party songs carries no MEANING. Am not surprised if they get praises from jst HANGING MJs photo in there video. It shows that we blacks appreciate sick songs.

No disrespect, p-square are good in making good beats, and steal cool dance moves from Usher, Chris B and MJ. They need to up their game, and do something for people to remember them for.

switdil: bad belle of the highest order.c either MJ or anyone else's shoe, I sha know sey d shoe wey em borrow wear fit em wella

Logicboy03: See this arrogant pharisee.


Erm sir, do you think that your religion gives you the right to use such a word for gay people? Do you think because of Sodom and Gommorah, you now have the right to call gay people "sodomites"?



Sodomite is derogatory and since you are unrepentant, I CALL ON THE GREAT POWER OF THE MODS TO PUNISH YOUR SINS AND TRANSGRESSIONS BY SENDING YOUR THREAD TO THE FIERY LAKE CALLED THE CLOSED THREAD SECTION

KidStranglehold: Agreed.

Isn't funny how important black folks Like Oprah and Obama who were born and raised in Chicago do nothing about the problem in Chicago. Isn't that funny?

jackbauersballs: If this is implemented you would have a negative reputation value - You should be thanking your stars that you cant actually see how very UNPOPULAR you are Afam.

Nobody Likes You.

Horus: Musician Akon is right. Akon has called for black Americans to start making an exodus “back to Africa” following the verdict in the Zimmerman trial. He said that “Every African-American in the United States need to move their money, family, knowledge back to Africa saying that the U.S. “is not their country.” I think that this is a very good idea, we should unite and create a powerfull Africa and show to the white man that we can do it without him.

Cusubaba: Hahahahaha....wonders shall never end. U want to contest with who? Human beings or Animals. Even pig will win u in beauty contest. Go and sit down she-boon.

mens dept: For a fact you are not even from the South South, and possibly, from the West or Zamfara. I'm glad Obasanjo felt the need to level villages in Odi during his CIVILIAN Rule.

I'm glad Ken Sawa Sawa was hung along with Ogoni chiefs by ABACHA during his rule.

I'm glad ENGLAND has jailed IBORI in their country from stealing money meant for Niger Delta boys

I'm glad ABIOLA was never allowed to buy everyone and rule the country, and was killed by the military junta lead by IBB

I'm glad that the Niger Delta boys are kidnapping Filipinos, tying mask and speeding on quack boats in attempt to fight against the status quo that has polluted their land in futile success.

I'm glad that there are no world class hospitals, schools, malls, airports, highways, stadiums, health centers in the Niger-Delta for all their support for Gowon and co.

In other words, you are not from the South South, because if you were, you'll know that the best thing for the folks of the former Eastern Region (and Delta) was to rid themselves of NIGERIA and not the Igbo.

FOOL

Mr anony:

What is their problem?

Cusubaba: Ur very useless bitch. U bitch will die of heart attack because of Igbo people. Listen scumbag! Bayelsa state(Ijaw) girl came first and Imo state(Igbo) girl came second. Now u fool should tell me what happen to ugly Yoruba girls like u.

greyman: There is no consensus on how we got to this 4.5 billion-year-old piece of real estate called the earth. The best estimate says that modern man showed up some 200,000 years ago. The only consensus is that the first series of questions that crossed the mind of the first group of men and women who saw themselves on earth were: who am I? Where am I? How did I get here? Who made me? Where am I going from here? These questions are the original questions.

The search for answers to these original questions started from the very point they were first asked. They have continued until this day. Every now and then, century after century, we come up with answers different from the ones before. These answers are tweaked and tweaked, promoted and advertized, until they become a force of nature called religion.

To understand how helpless we are in the face of this force, imagine a baby brought home from the hospital by its parents. When the baby opens its eyes, it sees the parents. The parents feed and care for the baby. In no time the baby looks up to the parents, especially the mother. The baby holds the parents in awe for all they do for it including, putting a roof over its head. To babies parents are gods. The words of the parents are the religion of childhood.

With time the baby begins to see the world outside of its parents’ house. It begins to see other houses and other parents and begins to question its original thoughts about its parents. Even when the child finds out that its parents are not all that it made them to be, out of habit and out of fear that there are no replacement parents out there that will accept it as a natural born, the child sticks to its parents. That is why most children of unfit parents, jailed parents and absentia parents find it hard to denounce their parents.

All cultures throughout history have come up with their answers to those original questions. It doesn’t matter how primitive a culture is. They come up with a story and over time the story develops. Expanding on the story, each culture tries to provide a guide on how to live this life in accordance with their story. The guide takes care of questions around life and death amongst other things. That is when the story becomes a religion.

And each religion sticks with its story, even when events raise questions about the credibility of the story or outright prove the story wrong. Most practitioners of every religion would rather follow it until they died. They rather find out the truth when they die than abandon the religion of their birth. And die they do, the believers and their religion alike.

The history of the world over centuries is littered with dead religions, dead gods and dead worshipers. In some ways, we are all children of a retired god. Key events in the world always retire religions and their gods. Traumatic world events always prove the old religions inadequate. The coming of the Europeans, for instance, essentially laid to eternal rest a lot of the African gods. Other events and movements like the Enlightenment reform religion. Reformation extends the life of a religion. An irreformable religion is one that is bound to implode.

The tragedy of Africa is that it reached the information age without first passing through the industrial age. In matters temporal, Africa got to the modern age without passing through the Enlightenment. That is why some people believe that a child was born holding a mini-Koran in its hand, or that a child came out of the womb holding a cross in its hand. Why mini-Koran? Why a cross? Why something we already know? Why does this kind of phenomenon only happen in societies that wallow in superstition? If it is a message from God, as some believe, why won’t God use the opportunity to send a definitive manual of life?

The Enlightenment instituted the culture of demanding empirical proof before believing. If a woman comes into the church and gives birth to a dead horse, you don’t clean up the floor and bury the horse. You send the horse to the lab and the woman to the hospital- mental and/or medical.

Every religion that comes begets a one. Two hundred years from now the people that will occupy this world will look at our era and our religions that we fight for and die for and call our age the Extreme Dark Ages. In another two hundred thousand years, nobody will remember what god we fought for, killed for, or died for. Just like we have no idea what god the people who were on this earth 100,000 years ago fought for, killed for or died for.

It is hard to imagine it now, but after the Third World War and after a nuclear war, a world will emerge with new religions. The old religions left standing will go through reformation. And subtly and gradually, new religions will replace the old. Because it takes hundreds of years for this kind of transformation to be visible, it is hard for those living in that age to notice the change as it happens. We won’t wake up one day and notice that our religion is dead.

It is hard to live without the concept of God because it is hard to live without an answer to the original questions, even if it is not definitive. That is why many will stick with their religion as if it is their parents. Virtually all religions place God beyond reach- at times above the sky. Do you know why? If God is within reach, God will suffer the fate of all parents – be critiqued and be seen to have fallen short.

The trouble with religion is that for every religion to survive and gain members and fend off competitions, it has to proclaim itself to be better than the others. That my religion is better than yours is like saying that my moon is better than yours. That my God is better than yours is to say that my sun is better than yours.

To be willing to fight for your God- which is to say, kill and die for your God, is like to climb on top of each other to pull the moon until it stands still on your side of the sky. It may sound stupid but it has been done before and continues to be done.

Those who worshipped the Greek gods used to believe that they had the final answer. Those who worshipped Oduduwa used to think that their story of the creation was the ultimate. The highest level of human stupidity is the belief that our religion is the final answer to these original questions- who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Who made me? The arrogance of that assumption has no equal in human folly.

Religions come and go but the earth remains the same. Until we know the definitive truth about the very beginning; and until we answer the original questions without a doubt, religion will remain attractive. But religion will continue to promise us that we find the answers only when we die. Science is the only one trying to find answers to these questions while we are still alive. And science is the only one trying to get to the very beginning and empirically show it to us for the very first time. It may take science one million years to get there. But I am rooting for science not religion.

Ninilowo: Gov. Dickson n Rochas are the same when it comes to irrational thinking and erratic behaviours. What is soo special or spectacular in this girl that qualifies her to become an adviser?

isaiahsthot: it was actually on BBC news website on sunday.

bloggernaija: What god is great?
That picture show the insignificance of planet earth ,her inhabitants and all their gods in the universe.
If earth should disappear today ,nobody would notice.
There are more stars like our sun in the universe than there are grains of sand on earth.
Those stars harbour planets like Jupiter ,mars,Venus ,earth etc
We are definitely not alone .
The laws of science and probability says so.
