Religion is more like believing spiderman is real

Religion is a matrix... A tool to control people with fear and hope...

This is sad reality chai.

80% of salary earners are poor...

It is well, reforms that only affects the Masses but not the Politicians

who has gotten access to the pre test... or i am the only one battling with "500 internal Server Error"

kcprince:
It is clear this country is beyond what they can govern. What surprises me is how everybody is keeping quiet and giving them the boldness to make such utterances . If this statement was made in a sane country people would take to the street

You made a very salient point.

The thing is Naija politicans don't actually rate Nigerians...and they know that the average Nigerian will believe any lie they sell to them.

Nigerians has been hungry since 1960..okay.

But now Nigerians are actually starving...


The starvation has made majority to be thinking like chickens

occfx:
Religion is the problem the world has today. From my own understanding, God hasn't spoken to anybody since the creation of the universe. Everything they say God said... Is manufactured.

Politicians and Powerful people uses it alots to manipulate the Masses.

This social media era of lies and fake lives, to believe things easily out of emotions is just so hard...

But if is this this story is real....its kind of scary...

Onegai:
I used to do the same thing, but AI is trained to identify patterns and give you answers based on it. Which is why it is always supportive and will change its answers if you press it: it's trying to figure out what you need to hear.

The longer you speak to it, the more you train it about your mental thinking and deductions, your patterns, the more the answers you get will mirror what's already in your mind.
So it will always seemingly give you helpful advice: it's telling you what you want to hear.

It's the same with browsing on social media: what you browse on and even what you say (your phone does listen to you) the algorithm will tailor itself to show you things that refer to it. When I was pregnant and talking about it in real life and not on the phone, I constantly got ads for baby stuff (all those permissions you grant different apps to use your mic, yeah).

I can be browsing on a kdrama or a topic, decide to open Google and that topic will be part of the suggestions I get.

Same with Instagram and Twitter.

It's why you have to be careful with AI. It's nice to have something always seemingly validating you. And I've seen people who AI, online forums and their Facebook algorithm convinced them of things in their personals lives and they proceeded to destroy even their marriages or get radicalized (I'm not making it up).

Bro birth a lots of us have programmed on what to think... And not how to think.

Just as people likely on certain myths...that's how they rely on this AI.
Without filtering.

This is sad...sighsss

this Al has its advantages and disadvantages.....i just hope people use it wisely...

I recently drafted out 20 football games and gave it to AI to predict...

Tickets burst anythow...everywhere red

Sporty pass AI power.

Oyinbo people and suicide....

RIP to the young man.

If not for the fear and Hope religion inspires...so many Nigerians would have been commiting suicide in droves...with this extreme hunger and hardship.

That word "E go better".... is therapeutic

Deepspirituals:
🤣🤣🤣🤣

You mean we came down from heaven just to fight to enter heaven again.
Very weird.

If you are talking to God, you are praying.

If God is talking to you, you are schizophrenic

Kushites:
This is NOT true.

This demented Christian philosophy basically confines all Muslims, African Traditional Religionists, Buddhists, Shintoists, Taoists, Krishnaists, etc etc to eternal damnation.

You actually think God will ANNIHILATE his own Creation simply for being of a different RELIGION or SPIRITUAL TRADITION than the one the British invaders who slaughtered your ancestors, burned down your cities and looted your land for a century, gave you?

It just so happened to be THEIR religion that is the “ONLY TRUTH”.

Really?

Really?

Really?

Religion thrives on hope and fear...

Its indeed the opium of the mind...

And powerful people uses it to easily manipulates the masses

ZeemsPropeties:
IT tools isn't same as social media use.

Dont mind them... they really do not know how addictive and destructive this tools can be and can be manipulated

Religion gives comfort , reduces anxiety, create social bonds....it thrives on hope and fear.


Is so unfortunate that politicians and influential people uses Religion to manipulate people for their ineptitude.

AngelSlay:
Not entirely true, my guy.
I’ve also seen the other side on the streets.

There are single guys who look “financially okay” on the outside, but when you sit with them, they confess the weight of loneliness is heavy. One even told me, “I have money, but every night I return to an empty house. No one to share it with, no one to build with. It’s depressing.”
I also spoke with a young lady working in tech. She earns well above average, yet she admitted how this regime has made her shoulder all family responsibilities alone. Her younger siblings look up to her for survival, her parents depend on her monthly, and she cried saying, “Sometimes I wish I had a partner to at least split these burdens with.”

And there are plenty of single men who are “financially okay” today, but terrified about tomorrow. Inflation, unstable forex, fuel costs — they confess that one wrong move could wipe away their savings. Some even envy married men who, though struggling, at least have a partner to encourage them and brainstorm survival strategies.

Truth is, happiness is not about single or married alone. Under this economy, both sides are agonizing in different ways. Some married men feel trapped by responsibilities, while some single men and women feel crushed by loneliness, pressure, and family expectations.

On the streets, it’s pain across board — just in different forms.

Let’s be real, what are the actual statistics on financially stable singles who say they’re lonely and wish they weren’t? Honestly, if loneliness was unbearable, most of these people would have jumped into marriage already. It’s not like finding a partner is impossible; it’s just that in this economy, marriage itself isn’t some magic fix.

Nigeria’s economy is strangling everyone’s purchasing power right now. Inflation is through the roof, prices of basic things like fuel and food are insane, and salaries barely cover rent, let alone family or personal dreams. I know two couples both married who recently got divorced purely because the financial pressure became unbearable. It’s not just about love or companionship; it’s survival.

So many Married people are suffering silently, putting on fake smiles while juggling multiple jobs, side hustles, and constant financial anxiety. Their salaries or small business incomes “can’t do shit” sometimes they’re barely enough to pay bills, let alone provide a comfortable life or raise a family without stress.

Single people might complain about loneliness, but married folks carry the weight of responsibilities that don’t disappear with love school fees, medical bills, family obligations, and the crushing fear of what happens if the breadwinner loses their job or business tanks.

At the end of the day, neither side has it easy. The pain is real everywhere, it just shows up differently. Marriage isn’t a cure, and being single isn’t a free pass. The economy is the common enemy here, and until that changes, everyone’s just trying to survive in a system that’s making life harder every day.

Bearfruit:
Speak for your self!!!!

Truth hurts. I can understand how you feel about hearing this harsh reality

Gerrard59:
There is nothing like love. Even if there is, love cannot exist in a poor society. People who lack basic needs cannot love. It's not in them to love. Love cannot thrive in hunger.

This is so apt...Love is deeply conditional.. .

yemmit90:
Lolz, I was once like you, until I got exposes to some certain things that changed my perspectives about those I usually called lazy or unserious fellows.

Sane countries takes care of their children and old people. They takes care of their unemployed youths till they get jobs. They provide quality education at avoidable rate and even provided comfortable loan service for students from poor homes. They ensure robust economy policies that can give room for jobs creations. They ensure access to quality health service even if you are poor. What am I even saying, food is next to nothing in saner climes that even if you don't earn much, you should be able to feed your family.

The lists are endless, and if at this level of your education, you don't know that there is limit to what an average citizen can do in the midst of unfortunate society, then you need to return that certificate. Like citizen like leaders, you all love and admire western countries but can't do what they are doing to attain such level of development.

Yes very right...

Politicians has dealt a lots of blow to the average Nigerians mental health...That they see themselves, being impoverished as a norm. Stockholm syndrome
