HenryIgwe01: My name is Henry, 27 yrs old. I am new here, it was my younger sister who introduced me to nairaland. She is a member here.
Brilliant and intellectual minds are here so I believe you people can help me with an advice because I am so depressed and I don't know who to talk talk to about my depression.
I'm a stammerer, a chronic and dreadful one at that. I can repeat an initial word like forever before I could complete my statement. It has made me hate my life and existence. I have a very low-self esteem, I can't express myself, I can't even approach a girl not to talk of being a relationship because I'm afraid of being mocked.
I'm a graduate in accounting education from AAU. I have always dreamt of becoming a lecturer/teacher. I'm smart and intelligent, I love to impact knowledge but I can't express myself. It's a big disability for me.
Back then in University, when i went for my teaching practice, the first day I taught in a classroom, I sense an undesirable atmosphere. I knew the students were trying to laugh but they respected their selves. When I got home, I locked myself and I cried.... But life goes on.
I graduated 2017, I went for nysc 2018. Since then my life has no bearing. I have not achieved anything. I feel inadequate despite I read a lot and I'm intelligent. It pains me I can't communicate to impact knowledge without stammering.
My father is making it worse for me, he compare me with other guys, he has never appreciated any thing I've done for him, he talks down on me. He finds fault in anything I do, he talks as if I created myself.
My mom and siblings are the reason why I haven't committed suicide. They encourage me everyday, especially my mom who is sick now.
I prefer to be completely deaf and dumb than for me to talk and not be able to express myself.
God is not perfect. If God was perfect, he would not have created some people with disability or deformity. Some people were born crippled, deaf, blind etc.. And you wanna tell me God is perfect? He's a partial and sentimental God. I try to understand his vision but all I see is damages.
Please I'm so depressed. I need advice.
Felt sorry for you until your statement about God. You can't claim to be intelligent and make such blasphemous comments..Seek for forgiveness first.
Islam is a religion that claims to be the final revelation from God to humanity through Jibril to Mohammed
Whereas it's simply a creation of a man in the 7th century who borrowed stories and religious beliefs and practices from the religions that already existed around him and was able to amass followers and believers through deceit, violence and conquest, in that order.
Incase you need evidence of this, read up on the following
Mohammed changing the direction of prayer from Jerusalem to Mecca
The Satanic Verses
The incorporation of the Kabba into Islam
Exactly what I expected you to say...And this has shown how ignorant you have decided to be perhaps due to hatred for Islam... Firstly, Islam didn't claim to be the final religion, Islam has been in existence right from the time of Adam, islam means submission and those who practise the religion are referred to a as Muslims which translates to people who submit their will to one and Only God..(Allaah) in Arabic. On your claim about prophet Mohammed, to start with, he was not the founder of Islam, rather he was the last and final messenger or prophet of you like that was sent to humanity, and was given the final revelation (Quran) through the arc angel jibreel..All other prophets like Abraham,Moses,Jesus etc who came before him all worshipped One God, same as he, hence were all Muslims. On the claim the he copied from existing religion or Scriptures, be informed that the man called Mohammad was unlettered and didn't put any of his revelations into writing, he committed everything to memory as he couldn't write, the writing was done by his companions. Also if he copied scriptures like you said, how come the earlier scientific claims in the Greek scriptures were later proven to be false while almost all the scientific claims in the Quran where proven to be correct??
On the claim that he borrowed beliefs and practises, kindly provide with evidence any religion on the surface of the earth that practise pure monotheism...also which of Islamic practises was copied and from which religion. On the changing from Jerusalem to kaaba, be informed that at the early stages of his prophethood, he was commanded by Allaah to pray facing masjid Al aqsa in Jerusalem(still in existence) as it was the most sacred place at the time before the conquest of Mecca after which Allaah commanded him to pray facing the kaaba Mecca. Do yourself some good by Reading from the right source whenever you want to study a subject matter irrespective of your mindset..this is very important.
I know about the prophet's childhood, marriages, his revelations, the companions, his rejection from and eventual return to Mecca, etc
About the religion, I know about the 5 pillars, the call to prayer, the Quran, the hadiths, the Hajj, etc
I also know about the history of the religion after Mohammed's death, the major branches and how they came about, etc
Branches?? Sects you meant to say.. anyways, my question wasn't about the history of prophetic Mohammed or sects or pillars...What do you know about the religion of islam as relates to humanity and God??
Let us be mindful of the kind of words we speak to ourselves and to others.
Let me share a personal experience (please pardon the length):
Many years ago, I drove my Dad from Ilesa to Lagos for an important business meeting. The discussion was kind of boring so I left the conference room and went to the vehicle to chill. Still bored, I switched on the radio and kept tuning until I got to a channel (can't recall which). A call-in program was on-going and the question was 'If God leaves you to decide how much longer you want to live, how many years would you ask for and why?'.
Listeners called in and gave varying figures...100 years, 200, 80, 50. Most people's reason was that they still had a lot to achieve. Some said life was too good. One woman said she wanted to see her great great grand children.
I decided to call in and say something shocking, just for the fun of it. I wanted to say that I would ask God for one more day because life is stressful and boring. I tried and tried but my call didn't go through, probably because of the number of people trying to call. It finally connected just as the program was about to end but the presenter announced that they won't be taking any more calls. So I didn't get to air my outrageous view on radio.
The next day, we set off for Ilesa, I drove. Just before Ibadan, Ratcon Construction Company was fixing the expressway at a sharp bend, and their heavy duty vehicles occupied one lane. This generated traffic as all the cars on the road were forced to slow down and squeeze into the other lane. I negotiated that bend at about 80-100 kph, saw the traffic, slowed down completely and joined the queue.
Less than a minute later, I heard some shouting behind me, I looked in my rearview mirror and saw a petroleum tanker bearing down on me. The tanker driver must have got to the bend at top speed like most vehicles, saw the traffic and lost control. The tanker was directly behind me and was definitely going to crush me. All I can remember was unconsciously whispering God please... God please.
Suddenly, a white inter-state commercial bus appeared, driving at break-neck speed and also lost control. The bus driver must have been trying to overtake the tanker at the bend with no knowledge of what was going on.(all these happened in split seconds)
Both the bus and the tanker hit me. The bus, a fraction of a second earlier than the tanker. The bus pushed me forward and took my original space. The tanker hit both of us but the bus took most of the impact. The tanker's blow on my vehicle was glancing so it sent me into the surrounding bushes. The bus was completely crushed. My Dad and I came out of the bushes and watched the bus driver die.
The tanker (fully loaded) had overturned and fuel was trickling out of one compartment. Luckily it was diesel so it didn't ignite.
The events of those two days will be vividly etched in my memory forever.
Now, I'm not a superstitious person. I'm very strong on facts and logic but at times, I can't help but wonder if the result would have been different if my call went through.
Wasn't your time to die...a fellow was shot 36bullets In the stomach and still living.

Even though as a Messi fan, I wouldn't be less excited if Lewandoski had won the award but does that mean Messi doesn't deserve it as many critics have opined?
No doubt Lewandoski would have won the 2020 award by a milestone not only because of his individual stats but he had trophies to show for it and most importantly, it wasn't an international tournament year..
Messi also suffered similar faith in 2018 when he top the chart for all individual stats across Europe but wasn't enough to win him the award...
Also looking at their individual stats from Jan till now between Messi and Lewandoski, Messi wasn't too far behind, and with the Copa success, I think he had an edge over Lewandoski who was unfortunate to have come from Poland..
JackDaAlienz: This is why I hate showing off Wealth
It's even far more dangerous to show off Wealth in a messed up country like Nigeria. Ordinary Benz wey I use enter my guy neighborhood. If you see the way ppl for that street dey look me like say I'm the reason for their poverty.
Righteousness2: The Bottomline of all these Discoveries is that JESUS CHRIST is LORD ! JESUS CHRIST is the only Way, the Truth and Life. JESUS Christ is Coming back again.
TotoGame: Buhari is a useless modafucking... pussy ass terrorist
If only alhaji aliyu buhari used a condom or better still a nylon bag that unfaithful Wednesday night 78yrs ago ....that would have saved nigerians and the world from this embarrassment
Lol see how wise you're...so his age count starts from pregnancy abi..
For decades now, the political space and the affairs of our country has been dominated by the older generation who have proven over and over their incompetence and lack of political will to drive us to the promise land.
On top of this, these old folks are not willing to hand over power to the younger generation as they keep circulating the seat amongst themselves.
The big question however is how they've managed to hold on to power despite their archaicity and fewer number as compared to the youths, how they've succeeded in keeping the energetic youths at Bay and permanent relegation zone..
These brings me to the topic of my write up, are the youths really ready? Are we ready to take charge of our own affairs? Do we have what it takes to take over the political space?
Well, series of events like the #EndSars protest and other similar agitations have proven that indeed the youths of this country have the platform if we so wish to change the narrative.
If only we can take advantage of our superiority in numbers and technological advancement to form a formidable force through a democratic process, we can change the narrative even as early as 2023..
O Nigerians youths, agitations and protests will only do us more harm than good..let's rise up and take responsibility..A formidable force is possible and feasible..!
You guys argue to the extent that you all missed the update about the mysterious tree. All you do is drag unnecessary argument and deprive those who want to be informed some vital details...
You downplayed the power of the office of the vice president because it involves Yemi. So that is why I gave the examples or 'drag'(according to you) of vice presidents before him.I See you guys don't know the danger of electing or planning to elect anyone who is part and parcel of this evil administration. How much more then a vice president who is directly involved than any other citizen of this country. That means PMB, his co, his cabals and his supporters will still be the ones managing the future of this country.
And if you know these things and are still supporting this man, then I will say that Nigerians are thier own worst enemies.
With all due respect sir, you are absolutely wrong...
Sir, there are certain misconceptions in elementary biology and only a good advanced knowledge of genetics can set things straight. While I cannot dispute or ascertain the legitimacy of the kids, it is worthy to note that you can marry a white woman and have pure white kids (seemingly) obviously they are not entirely white (because they certainly bear the black genes) but genes are not always expressed in the phenotypic form. (Physical form) in fact, as seen in the case of these kids, their mom's white genes seem to be expressive in their phenotypic traits while their dad's black genes is recessive in the first two kids. . So the kids looks white but they are not. The true makeup of anyone can only be studied by looking at their genotype makeups. Their offsprings will certainly include a child in whom Jackson's black trait will be expressive in the phenotypic form.
. Something else is also responsible for this. It is sometimes called point mutation. Point mutations are a large category of mutations that describe a change in single nucleotide of DNA, such that that nucleotide is switched for another nucleotide, or that nucleotide is deleted, or a single nucleotide is inserted into the DNA that causes that DNA to be different from the normal or wild type gene... . Let me make it easier... . Point mutation can make an As and AA parent have an SS child. It can make an SS and AS parent have an AA child. In the case of the former, if the father contributes the 'A' part of his genotype* and the mother contributes the 'S' part, point mutation can have that 'A' part entirely deleted! Of cuz this would be an unfavourable mutation but it doesn't always happen like that. Point mutation can as well make you super intelligent or make you white even when u have a black dad. (Favourable mutation) as expressed in this kids. . Sir do you know poor knowledge of biology and genetics have led to broken homes?? . You need to see fast and furious 9. The two brothers. One is black one is white. Yeah it's a movie but Hollywood directors certainly know how to make movies look real, besides it's a phenomenon they see in America everyday. . #peace
