You too believe what you want. When death comes knocking, you can't say No to it. How is this post relevant to what we're discussing here?

JackBizzle:
Nigeria is not as ultra-religious as it once was. The topic of atheism is no more taboo as it once was. It is now discussed in various media.



1) Radio talkshows; I have witnessed radio hosts discussing twice about atheism despite the fact that I only listen to radio once in a while. The first was an atheist challenging the existence of God on a christian talkshow on sunday on 93.7, the other was a radio talkshow host complaining of her roommate not believing in God (cant remember the radio station)

2) Atheist groups and conventions; two new atheist groups have come up and there is an atheist convention on the 11th of september. One of the groups is a humanist one and the other on is the atheist convention of Nigeria (ASN), which is having the convention.

3) Growth of atheist numbers on Nairaland, twitter and facebook; there is no week I dont see some criticism of religion or God on twitter or facebook by a Nigerian. This shows that the internet gives voices to those who are more careful in real life. Nairaland is the den of atheist- no need to even talk about it.

I completely agree, and in truth we actually do not need more churches and what not, what we need is a society of free thinking individuals such as the ASN of which I am a proud member of; people who are ready to contribute, give hands on contribution to the betterment of the society and Nigeria as a whole... not those 'It is well" people. And freethinking Nigerians pop up with each passing day.

Lagos needs Igbos to survive

“Lagos ACN wants to let Nigerians know that Igbos constitute over 45 per cent of the population of Lagos and they dominate key sectors of the Lagos economy."

Very true. I personally like how pastors are shamed here on nairaland every week. New week, new pastor scandal!

Humans have always derived meaning from the concept of god and his plans, but then came the humanist revolution which brought about the death of god.
Prophets and philosophers have argued that all laws and order will vanish if we stop believing in god, yet today those who pose greatest threat to global law and order are precisely those people who believe in god and his all encompassing plans.
God fearing Syria is far more violent than atheist netherlands,
Religious Nigeria is worse than atheist USA.
