benalvino2: Like I said Islam is not a very tolerant religion so conflicts because of that holy site will always happen And Judaism and Even Christianity is a very tolerant religion? The fact that you said that the war is about religion (and not land) betrays you as a bias Christian fundamentalist. Land disputes are very difficult and protracted even among family members. It will take a lot of compromise on both sides to resolve. Isreal is not ready to compromise and continues to annex palestinian lands. |

Grace001: Regions can scatter a happy family. It’s nothing but a tool of separation that create the perception of “we” and “them” Even if everyone of Muslim, it will then become interdenominational. The war will then be between Shiites and Sunni. If they are the same denomination, the fight will then be between the various religious leaders they follow. Religion is the greatest divider of people on the planet. It can divide brothers from brother and even father from son. |

Image123: Highest number of believers? i guess you have the book of life in your whatsapp group. We definitely have a lot of religious people in Africa, professing christians, muslims and other religions. And Nigeria having the largest population in Africa takes the chunk as well. But religion is not righteousness, and neither are the religions the same. i want to believe that you are aware of that. Be that as it may, the question is how many of the righteous are in authority, and how many of their righteous policies and practices are in play? Righteousness exalts a nation, not religion. If China, Norway and Japan are more righteous, upright, up and doing, straightforward and clean in their ways, of course they will move ahead of people who just pay lip service to God. God is not mocked by religion. How do we separate the religious from the righteous? Every Christian and Muslim claims to be righteous. So we can only judge by what they profess as we do not have a righteousness meter. Almost every leader in Nigeria is either a Christian or a Muslim. Should they not the role model for the religion they profess? We have had reverend fathers as governors. We have had pastors and evangelists as ministers and many senior officials who claim to be born again or righteous Christians. Were they all different of from the standard wicked and corrupt Nigerian? What of the thousands of G.Os, pastors, reverends, etc., are their conducts any different from other corrupt Nigerians. What is the use of a religion if it cannot reform the people or the society as a whole? If If China, Norway and Japan are more righteous without religion - prayers, deliverance and fasting, then why do we need prayers, deliverance and fasting to make progress both individually and as a country? Wirinet, this is a very simple and particular case from the OP. Evidently, the OP has employed scientific and "practical" solutions to no avail. Like you say, only a mad man does the same thing over and over again without success and then expect a successful result. It is only wisdom for her to try a different route. The route of adding the spiritual. Like i have insisted, she does not need to neglect the scientific, God did not say that. The OP never said that the medical approach did not work. What she said was that she wanted an instant and permanent solution. This is because her brother had to be forced to take the prescribed drugs and the drugs were to be taken probably for the rest of his life. There are many medical conditions that require prescription drugs for the rest of your life in order to live a full life As an example, I also have my own story. My wife's senior brother also died as a result of following spiritual advice over medical. He had serious heart problems and underwent open heart surgery in Italy. He was put on prescription drugs for life. On getting back to Nigeria he went to see T.B. Joshua. He was told that he was healed spiritually and told to throw all the drugs away. About 3 months after that he died in his house alone and was dead 3 days before his body was discovered. |

Image123: There was only one point and it has been painstakingly passed. We pray that you have not forgotten already, dunno the extent of damage the devourer has done to your brain. Ohhh, are you thinking what i am thinking? Are you the ...? Never mind. Please answer this question. Since Nigeria has one one the highest number of believers in the world, as evidenced in the largest number of pastors, evangelists, prophets and prophetesses and churches in every street, how come we have the poorest development indices in the world? Like poorest health indices, poorest corruption indices, poorest economic indices, etc. Should we not be better than non religious countries like China, Norway and Japan? Prayer has been shown to be useless in solving personal and national challenges. It seems the more we pray, the worse the problem becomes. We have been praying for prosperity since the early 80, Nigeria and Nigerians has been progressively getting poorer since. We have been praying for good health and healing since and our health situation nationally has taken an alarming downturn. Since prayer has not been working, does it not make sense to start applying scientific and practical solutions to our personal and national problems instead of wasting most of our time in churches, mosques, fellowships and prayer sessions. Only a mad man does the same thing over and over again without success and then expect a successful result. |

CandyOps: It's like you want your brothers to go COMPLETELY MAD abi??
You already have proof that medications work to an extent on your younger brother abi? Which other solution do you seek alert from what works already??!
The moment you carry that man into a spiritual home is the moment his madness will go into gear 4.
And deep down inside you, you already know the source of the problem. IT IS HEREDITARY! A.K.A in your blood.
Hello!! You mean to say you went through school and the words 'genetics' never sunk into your head?!
....
You see religion and superstition is really killing African growth. How can a fully grown university educated man seek health solutions from any other place outside a health facility??
And before u start quoting me, just know I also have a cousin who is mentally unstable and suffers from schizophrenia too.
My neighbor had a burst vein in his head from High BP complications and his illiterate mom rushed him to a spiritual home where he went into coma during their spiritual razzmatazz.
Before her head correct it's too late. Nigga was DOA by the time they got to the hospital.
In fact, I believe any religious home that takes on the role of a healthcare provider should be sued and probably even shut down.
...
Here is how the scientific process works:
- You encounter a problem. - You make guesses/assumptions to what the solution could be & ask questions to the cause of the prob. - You make guesses using the answers you got. Called a hypothesis. This guess should be something testable. Meaning anyone can replicate the tests. - Make a prediction from the answers you get - Now you run some tests on that hypothesis (usually trial and errors while noting what works) - You come up with more hypothesis - You know what works to an extent (in your case, drugs) which leads you to making a clearer prediction.
- you test again till you come up with a theory of how to go about such issues in future...
....
Now, over the thousands of years mankind and modern humans have literally done almost all these testing for us and we only have to improve on it. But NO! Not an African man.
An African man will encounter a problem and instead of following the scientific step, he will immediately say to himself, "I need to talk to God about this" or worse, "it looks spiritual. I can't do anything about it if God doesn't do anything about it"
... And just in that moment, all the creative ideas and potential discoveries that could have been made will be cut short!
.....
You see, when we cry over the dangers of superstition in Africa and how it is underdeveloping us Christians and other religious folks will rather put the devil on you by calling Atheist or Apethists (people who don't care about deities) devil worshipers than see reasons with us.
I mean, just imagine what an adult who passed through the 4 walls of a classroom is saying. It's deeper than just getting school knowledge and I don't blame anyone because it is a result of hundreds of years of torture and slavery by the white people who brought on this scam called religion to us
(Don't mistake religion for spirituality or spiritism)
Africans pls plssss stop bowing to the ducking skies and learn to use your heads
The damaging effects of religion is not just found in our healthcare system. It's everywhere. Most especially in our minds. Slavery ducked us up real good. But then we keep ducking ourselves everyday by choosing to remain in the slavery
It's like what Kanye West said in an interview on TMZ that went viral. "400 years of slavery seemed like a choice"
Sorry I'm coming off as harsh but pls I beg you in the name of anything you believe in, DO NOT STEP ONE FOOT into ANY religious home. Well, except you want to dump your bro there for the worse.
And the funny thing is this:
When you let a super-religious person in on the TRUTH about their bullshit they'll always go through these stages:
1. Denial or Ridicule (they deny it or Ridicule it/you)
2. Rejection [they reject it entirely and will become violent towards the source of the information (you) ]
3. Acceptance (they finally begin to see reason)
Which explains why I don't like having a religious convo with anyone. I just listen and nod or zone you off.
And the reason is because I hate being the bearer of bad news. And I hate being at the receiving end of the 3 stages of accepting the truth I listed above.
It's also one of the reasons why the bearer of bad news in the olden days were usually put to death by the King.
Anyone who loses a loved one also passes through those 3 stages before accepting the truth.
First, you ridicule the info. Then you react violent to oppose it. Later, acceptance dwells in.
It also explains why most superstitious folks HATE atheist (or rather dispise the people/persons who first told them God don't exist)
And another reason is because it goes against everything you've ever known from birth. In other words, the person is saying you're stewpid.
And no one likes being stewpid You have said it all, nothing to add. Black Africans are still living in the dark ages were religion and superstitions ruled the society instead of science and logic. We would require another 600 years to get to our own age of enlightenment. Any one that tells you to take the spiritual route wants to complicate your situation. Pastors, Imams and babalowos would cause more harm physically and financially. A doctor had already prescribed medications that seems to work. What else are you looking for? It seems schizophrenia runs in your mum's side of the family. You yourself have to be alert and you are susceptible. Mental illness is Nigeria is very under estimated and under diagnosed. There are very few specialists and fewer facilities that deals with mental diseases. Your best bet is to continue to see a specialist. Schizophrenia is a very difficult to treat, just like autism, it can only be managed with good medical care and family support. |

AmazonTopaz: Judging from what was reported in Times they did not state it and I would not want to go ahead of myself and assume that was the case since Melinda herself was aware gave her approval before the whole thing ended.So there must have been another reason for the divorce we knew Bezos and Woods' own was as a result of Infidelity which their wives were not aware of in this case Melinda was quite aware and it wasn't stated that he cheated I have reasons to believe that it was more than Infidelity even if it were Melinda must have been okay with it for this long because it started since they got married so why leave now and not then if that were the reason. I don't think it has to do with infidelity. There are speculations that the disagreement is over inheritance. Bill has said numerous times that he intend to donate most of his wealth to charity, meanwhile Melissa believes their children should inherit the family fortunes. So it is speculated that Melissa decided to divorce to secure a substantial portion of the family fortune for the children and grandchildren. Bill can then be free to donate all his own half of the fortune to charity. |

NaijirianKing: The reason you cannot drink alcohol in certain parts of the country is because the culture does not allow such. But you can still live in the North, however you have to follow the rules that are hundreds of years old, it is tradition. The southerners must abide by northern rules and cultures while residing in the north, but the northerners are not obliged to live by southern rules and cultures while residing in the south? If you don't like the tradition of another man's village, you are free to travel to the next village or town, but one man cannot change the culture of the village, rather the man will be changed to the culture if he expects to stay. But northerners can change the culture of southerners whether they like it or not. Northerners that don't like the traditions of southern villages are not free to travel to the next village? The reason they cannot enter town is because they are not looking to rent flats, many of these Fulani came in from the Sahel where many faced persecution as they were the minority. The Fulanis came from the sahel where they face persecution to persecute Nigerians where they are a majorty. Therefore, they are looking to settle in empty forests and areas where no one is living in order to set up settlements where they can live in peace. They are not looking to pay rent in a place where they will continue to be a minority and potentially face the same persecution they faced in the places they came from, so they are looking for land to simply call their own within this great nation. So empty forest does not belong to somebody? Ordinary empty ocean are claimed by peoples and countries and are ready to go to war for it not to talk of land. They are not looking to pay rent but stay in other people's lands forcefully? That's conquest or colonisation. You are telling us you want to colonize Nigeria. I don't blame you, I blame southern people and their leaders who are very greedy and only after their selfish material interests. Southern leaders are ready to sell their tribes and kinsman for a plate of porridge. You cannot try this shit in Ghana. This is why they need to simply be left alone, or the various state governments can help by arranging lands where they can settle, this way there will be no farmer/herder clashes as the Fulani will have their place and not infringe on lands that are already occupied. This is the only way for peace to reign. Ehen. Arrange land for you guys or there will not be peace. I had never supported Kanu or IPOB, but now I see that kanu was visionary in seing your agenda early. My only grouse with him was hating and insulting Yorubas and other southern tribes.

Abacha along with about 12 other senior military officers - Olurin, Dongoyaro, David Mark, Akogun, akilu, Togun, we're the ones actually responsible for the annulment of June 12.

gidgiddy: The 4 Regions of the time only lost democracy, they did not lose true federalism. All 4 Regions existed right This statement is an oxymoron. How can you lose democracy and at the same time gain true federalism? Federalism mean a federation of independence or semi independent regions, states or provinces. How can you be independent and at the same time be subservient to a federal government? The very first paragraph of decree 34 states; Subject to the provisions of this Decree, Nigeria shall on 24th May 1966 (in this decree referred to as ‘the appointed day’) cease to be a Federation and shall accordingly as from that day be a Republic, by the name of the Republic of Nigeria, consisting of the whole of the territory which immediately before that day was comprised in the Federation. I am at loss as to how you process information. A statement says federation has been ceased or abolished and you read it to mean a federation has been created. Is that rational thinking? up to the day Ironsi died. They controlled their resources and paid the agreed tax to federal government that was agreed at independence. How can the regions control their resources and pay the agreed tax to federal government when General Ironsi had already suspended the constitution? Who agreed on what and when? |

Decree 34 never broke up anything. It did not take away resource control nor cancel fiscal federalism.
It only standardised the civil service . How can you have a standardized(unified) civil service and still have resource control? Who will grant mining licenses, manage the natural resources,collect the revenue and share the revenue? Now in the 6 months of General Ironsi, how did it operate? Who was collecting the resources? |

gidgiddy: You are talking about two different things here. Nobody is denying that Ironsi was running a military dictatorship without the pillars of democracy.
What is being disputed is if it was Ironsi that abolished Regionalism and introduced unitary rule.
How could Ironsi have been the one that abolished Regionalism if the 4 Regions he met on the ground were still existing the day he died?
How is it possible that Ironsi introduced unitary rule when all 4 Regions had resource control and fiscal federalism right up to the day Ironsi died? Please stop arguing like a thirsty stubborn goat that refuses to be led to the river to drink water. You are just holding on the the false view that Gowon destroyed Nigeria's regionalism instead of Ironsi purely on sentimental and emotional reasons instead of fact. Many people have educated you but you stubbornly refuse to drink from their fountain of knowledge. Read decree 34 of 1966 by General Ironsi. Why do you think he labelled it the Unification Decree? Ironsi abolished the federation structure of government with regions as the federating units and converted them to a unitary form of government with the same regions as its component units. Whether you call then provinces,regions or states it does not matter. The fact that he continued to call them regions did not change the fact that they lost their independence to the centre. Some countries refer to their Federating components as states instead of regions. What is the difference between states, regions or provinces? Gowon simply changed the appellation from regions to states. |

In a Friday afternoon statement, Newsmax acknowledged it had broadcast voter fraud claims against Coomer and admitted there’s no evidence any of them were true.
Newsmax also admitted it doesn’t have evidence that Coomer confessed to rigging the election during a conference call with antifa, an outlandish allegation repeated on-air by former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, who is also facing a lawsuit from Coomer.
Coomer dropped Newsmax from his lawsuit Friday after reaching a settlement with the network, his attorneys told Forbes in a statement, though they did not offer any details on the terms of the settlement. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewalsh/2021/04/30/newsmax-apologizes-to-dominion-exec-as-it-settles-lawsuit-over-false-voter-fraud-claims/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Oya all you people that are ready to stake your balls, kidney and liver that dominion rigged the elections for Biden, why are you not helping your fellow Trumpeters with your evidence? |

I am proud to say that in the last two years, I have helped two other blacks (a 23 year old nigerian and a 42 year old Jamaican with a wife and 3 kids into the company). Both jobs are over $100k per annum. I will keep ensuring diversity and inclusion is promoted in recruitment.
The 23 year old guy has a dinstinction in electrical engineering from a local Canadian college. The Jamaican has an electrical engineering degree from back home and worked in telecoms before migrating to Canada and worked mostly low wage jobs prior to been offered employment. If this is socialism to some, then so be it. I like that kind of socialism that helps me to pull others up. I hate responding to him because he is so ignorant in his ignorance.

That's why the say half education is worse than illiteracy. Man is a social animal. It socialism that gave man the added advantage to dominate the planet. Social animals are way more successful than non social animals. Numerous disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, and economics deals with social interactions within human societies. To achieve a successful society, there must be a delicate balance between socialism and capitalism. 100% capitalism is as bad as 100% socialism. Many European countries have been able to strike that balance and have created a relatively peaceful and prosperous society. |

OfeAchi: BACKGROUND:
I had a decent job before I met her and I was responsible for all the decisions I took, which mostly led to favourable outcomes. However when I met her and began a relationship, I wasn't having the freedom I needed. Any decision I wanted to take without her authorization always ended badly. For example there was a period I wanted to jointly rent an apartment with a male friend of mine. She strongly opposed this but I still went ahead to pay rent. Unfortunately for me, within four months my friend had some issues with landlord and we were both evicted from the apartment. (although I got compensated)
Another instance was when I got paid some bonuses from company and decided to invest in some crypto projects during their ICOs (in 2017). I did some market analysis of these crypto projects before my decision to invest, only for her to advice me against it. She said we should instead, use the money to start farming. I didn't listen to her and went ahead to invest. THE RESULT: the investment that was supposed to take me to the moon now became more worthless than tissue paper! I shed tears because of this.
I now decided to get rid of her, but all plans of mine proved abortive. The more I tried to get her out of my life, the more we were brought together. Can you believe that the day I finally proposed to her was the very same day I tried to make out with an old girlfriend?
A friend of mine went to consult an ifa priest, who told him that my fiance has a cloud of good fortunes around her. But I don't believe in those spiritual mumbo-jumbos! I was determined to leave her. This made me begin applying for jobs in other states and towns, but nothing came forth. I even went for interview/test but didn't scale through. Some weeks later, she told me that she wasn't in support of me getting job in another town (she says she was scared of losing me).
Did you know? the time I decided to remove the thoughts of leaving her from mind and fully accept her into my life, was the time that I finally got a better job in another city!
MARRIAGE We got married in 2019 and I was of the mindset that since she may be an ogbanje, therefore things would work in my favour and I would become a millionaire very quickly, but that's not the case.
Since marriage, any decision I take without her approval always leads to disaster! I wanted to invest in a partnership deal and told her about it but she disapproved and said I should save the money instead. I went ahead to invest and I lost 400k! Same for other decisions in the house, the outcome was always negative whenever I don't heed her advice.
I hate all this! I'm a full grown man. Why should my life be based on the decisions of a woman? I feel like I'm no longer in control of my life. I'm about to take a car loan from my company in order to escape this constant public commute and trekking but she has vehemently disapproved, that I should instead save for another year or two before buying car. But I still won't listen to her! If the loan ends in a disaster, I have decided that I would abandon this marriage and relocate to another country. A country where voodoo and religious mumbo-jumbo do not exist, so that I can be in full control of my life!
.......PS: we have a year old baby girl. Maybe I could be sending monthly upkeep from this new country I intend to relocate to.
Able readers, is my final decision a good one? Let me first tell you that you are suffering from the same problem that has kept Black Africa back for centuries, which is lack or inability to take responsibility for our wrong decisions. We always look for someone or something else to blame our terrible decisions on. That your wife is a rare gem. She had been 100% right in all her advice to you. And you have never taken her advice, but somehow still blame her when your stupid choices go wrong. She advised you against renting an apartment with a friend. You friend fùcked up and you were evicted, somehow it was her fault and not yours or even your friend's fault. She advised you against investing in crypto currencies, you went against her advice. The crypto currency failed and somehow it's her fault and not yours. Mind you most cryptos apart from bitcoin and one or two other are scam. You want to take a car loan and she advised you against it, telling you to save for it instead. And you see that as a terrible advise. A you all right. Do you know the exorbitant interest rate and other hidden charges they charge on loans in Nigeria? Even Ifa told you that she has a cloud of good fortunes around her and you still doubt. Maybe you need to go to a pastor that will tell you she is jezebel. You claim she has brought you bad luck but presently you are better off than when you met her. You have a good job, a good house a daughter and you are considering buying a car. Millions of Nigerians would want such "bad luck". I really think you have mental issues. See a psychologist. |

helinues: Okay fine Tinubu is not fit to lead Yoruba, sebi you claimed you are Yoruba, could you then present any of your relatives to lead Yoruba ...
Tell us his name, his profile and achievement in life He is right. Tinubu is not fit to lead the Yorubas. Tinubu is not intellectually, culturally or even politically fit to lead the Yorubas. Yoruba leaders of the past were renowned to be fearless, morally upright, fiercely nationalistic ( I would say tribalistic) and selfless. Tinubu has non of these qualities. Tinubu does not care about Yorubas or Yoruba interests, all he cares about is power and money. What has tinubu done or said to protect or support Yorubas that are being slaughtered everyday by Fulani Herdsmen? Buhari can be flawed on many fronts, but what you cannot deny is his love for his people or their interests. When some Fulani were murdered in Oyo, he lead a delegation of top Fulani to Ibadan to register his displeasure. He was even a private citizen then without any power. What has tinubu done for his Yoruba people with his enormous political power and influence? On the intellectual level, tinubu is no where to be found. Yes, he might be a good accountant but as an intellectual, no. How many books has he written? How many lectures has he given? What are his political, economic and social philosophies. Comparing tinubu to Awolowo is a huge insult to the late sage. Tinubu is a thug, and uses thuggery to hold lagos and the southwest to ransome. I don't see how a once progressive and vibrant tribe - the Yorubas can be held hostage by one man. |
