shymexx: I have so many questions on what you wrote up there, but I will release you this time and let you watch your game thing. But keep in mind there is more to a person's Identity than just religion, hence the slaves had their own religion before they were kidnapped and sold, african religion did not stop the colonization of Nigeria. There is more to the world viewing us as inferior than just religion, on most part it has to do with the color of our skin. But thats a discussion for another day. |

We've got peeps from other countries registered on NL and y'all mutherfuckers are posting sh#t. i'm a nigerian. And i'm proud to be. Has it occurred to you we're this smartest black africans?

shymexx:Yes i love this kind of challenge, it is unpatrotic to ask what has the nation give to you, rather ask in what way have you imparted on the nation. Are you a students, a police, a doctor, a civil servant, business man, a politician, political office holders, children, parents etc what is your contribution to the nation, i tell you if all of us contributed positively to this nation, Nigeria will be the best place on earth. Now look at bill Gate one of the highest philanthropist in the world today is not the president or even a politician in America yet he is representing American interest greatly. Let think of what we can do for our there Country Nigeria. God bless you all and God bless the federal republic of Nigeria. 1 Like |

Let me respond to you and Tolani before I buck off... Yes, industral revolution made Europe - after pillaging/robbing the African continent off its resources, and getting super rich off the salve trade... And Africans were also the pawns used in building the so-called, industrial revolution... Most of the tunnels and underground in the UK were built by Jamaicans(and that's their most recent achivement)... RELIGION paved the way for the enslavement and colonisation of Africa/Africans - both were SANCTIONED by the CATHOLIC CHURCH... And Europe got its RENAISSANCE with the help of the CHRISTIAN CRUSADERS... Food for thoughts...  *I'm sorry for derailing the thread** 2 Likes |

@shymexx several intellectuals encouraged secularism with writings advocating religious toleration, like John Locke's A Letter Concerning Toleration (1689) and John Stuart Mill's On Liberty (1859). Enlightenment writers often stressed anticlericalism and attacked the Catholic Church. Several, including Voltaire (1694–1778), said that religion was a good thing for the lower classes, to keep them honest, diligent, and peaceful, an idea that got support from the anti-church violence during the French Revolution. This idea had wide currency in the Muslim world until the Iranian Revolution (1979) showed again that popular religiosity did not always have such orderly effects. The rise of nation-states and of nationalism encouraged secularism. Except in countries like Poland, Ireland, and former Yugoslavia where religious and nationalist boundaries coincide, nationalism and nation-states have tended to undermine organized religion. Religious loyalties and ideologies were supranational, and religion supported hierarchical relations between genders, toward minorities, and in everyday life, which conflicted with the priorities of the nation. Nationalism provided an ideology for nonreligious loyalties. This accompanied socioeconomic modernization and industrialization, requiring similar workers, similar rules for treating people, and national markets. Nationalism was a secular force, and religion could play only a subordinate role in most nations. In many countries nation-states struggled with church control over schools, law, and social institutions, and generally nation-states won and expanded secular institutions. ndustrialization, urbanization, and the rising role of economic class groups helped undermine religious ties and promote secular ideologies, whether nationalist, liberal, or socialist. The rising socialist movement was often antireligious. The atheism of Karl Marx (1818–1883), who saw religion as unnecessary in a communist state, became widespread among workers and their supporters. In mid-nineteenth century England, the terms secularist and secularism were coined by George Holyoake (1817–1906), who founded a secularist society that helped end religious discrimination in parliament and elsewhere. In the late nineteenth century elite ideas were increasingly secular and agnostic, including Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and his "bulldog" Thomas Huxley (1825–1895), the radical literary critics of Russia, and the new field of sociology, with Auguste Comte (1798–1857), Émile Durkheim (1858–1917), Max Weber (1864–1920), and others. Bible criticism, with Germans like Richard Strauss (1864–1949) and Frenchmen like Ernest Renan (1823–1892), undermined faith in established religion. Even an ideological trend that most people in the early twenty-first century find repellent—scientific racism—was predominantly secular. Women's rights movements have been secular in their effect, as all major religions endorsed male control of and superiority to women and denied women rights regarding property, work, political participation, and control of their bodies. In much of the world resistance to women's rights has been primarily based on religious, antisecular, ideas. Secularism usually endorses the idea found in nationalism, socialism, feminism, and some science, of progress. Darwinism, against the occasional caveats of Darwin, was seen as a story of progress, and was applied to Spencer's "survival of the fittest" in human society. Social Darwinism was intertwined with racism, one of whose offshoots was the eugenics movement, a supposed recipe for race amelioration. Socialism, nationalism, and feminism expected a better future, to be brought by human secular activity. By contrast, religions often saw history as a fall from a golden age, or as a period in which individual salvation was possible only through religion. A better world might only come via a sudden, millennial process. The contrast between traditional Jewish expectations of a messiah and the this-worldly efforts of modern (secular nationalist) Zionists exemplifies this difference. The period 1848–1914 was the heyday of secularism and of belief in progress in the West, and saw their first rise in the Global South. Several countries established secular states after major struggles. The papal territories were a major obstacle to Italian unification, which required their conquest and a break with the church, a break not healed until Mussolini's concordat. France experienced many struggles between clericals and anticlericals. French laicisme, more militantly anticlerical than British and American secularism, won out decisively in the 1905 law disestablishing the Catholic Church. In England the Church of England remained established but, partly as a result of struggles by secularist groups, legal restrictions on nonconformists, Jews, and atheists ended, and the established church's power declined. The United States outlawed federal church establishment in the constitution, and the late nineteenth century saw the rise of new secular cultural trends and even the popularity of agnostics like Walt Whitman (1819–1892) and Robert Ingersoll (1833–1899). In all Western countries public education of children and young adults spread rapidly, and it was increasingly a secular education. In several Western countries, the fight against the Catholic Church was often the key issue in politics. Anticlericalism, with secular implications, became central to politics in several countries, partly because nineteenth-century popes ruled against modern socialist and liberal ideas. Popular belief and state control over education and welfare became increasingly secular. http://science.jrank.org/pages/11240/Secularization-Secularism-History-Nature-Secularization-Secularism-1914.html |

shymexx: Accepting an imported Alien Religion has killed our peoples minds!. The Black/African does not know the consequences of accepting AN ALIEN RELIGION. If a Black/African accepts Judaism and Christianity as his religion, he has accepted the Caucasian as his visible God. The same with Islam, if a Black/African person accepts Al Islam and its many branches as there religion, then it accepts the Desert Arab as his God. That person cannot have power over, or be equal to the Caucasian, or Arab because here, the Caucasian and the Arab has been accepted as the superior power, and this is why trying to obtain liberty and equality in Caucasian or Arab religion or any alien religion is a CRUEL HOAX! If you look at all of the so called Holy Books that our people are into, they all portray the image of someone other than self. There is not a face of Black/African people of any of these imported religions. |

Science for example would be worthless without consciousness, that's why the higher man gets with his level of consciousness, the more the advancements we see in science... Without us, there's no science - without a TRUE RELIGION, man is doomed for failure... And I'm not surprised at the state of Africa/Nigeria and black people around the world in general - we don't know who we're... |

1999 Nigerian constitution need amended is was writing by military men,for the country to move forward a lot of things need to be addressed in the constitution.In supreme court of united state it says in their constitution that states have the power to leave,but till date none want to secede because they believe in USA and it give citizens sense and right of belonging. These can bring balance in the system and reality check on Nigerian leaders..... |

Horus: Hotep brudda!! Peace be unto you!! The African mind has been corrupted with different alien ideologies/belief systems, hence why we are confused, and why we're the way we are... Some might argue that our ancestors' religion(s) is primitive, but Christianity used to be primitive when the crusaders were killing millions of people around the world, women were not allowed priesthood, and when a Pope ordered the enslavement of black people... But it evolved to fit the mmodern world... Islam used to be primitive and it's still primitive in some ways when they were killing millions of unbelievers and enslaving black people through Zanzibar... But it evolved to fit the mmodern world... But why can't we evolve our own religion(s) to fit into the modern world, rather than stay copying everyone's religion and their identity  Yet we blame the white man for our failures and the Arab man for being a racist... Hey, I would do the same thing if I was in the white man, or Arab man's shoes - if you look up to me for everything and worship images that look like me, you and I definitely don't belong to the same class... It shows I'm superior to you and I'll continue to manipulate you for my own benefits...I'm out, yo... |

Tolaaaaannni: Nigeria hasn't achieved a lot so far, but I believe it has a lot of potential to acheive more and we are going to getI like your spirit. Nigeria is a young country? Do you know Singapore and Nigeria got independence the same time? Nigeria can't stand next to Singapore anywhere despite our being with loads of natural resources. Corruption, overpopulation, laziness, tribalism, nepotism, waiting for God to solve things as little as who we should TOAST! and most importantly FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN has seriously hampered whatever little progress we could have had. On the plus side, we have the Koko master, 2 face, Wizkid, Nneka, P square, Basketmouth, Genevieve Nnaji, Pete Edochie, and our wild population has helped us win BBA 3 times in a row, Naija to bad gan! |
