Your problem is that you think that being spiritual is synonymous to being religious.

You can be deeply spiritual without being any bit religious. And you can be religious without being spiritual.

Both Mark and Bill were and are still very deeply spiritual.

The statements of these people shows they are not religious or spiritual in the sense we accept in Nigeria see below

Bill Gates on Religion
Gates was interviewed November 1995 on PBS by David Frost. Below is the transcript with minor edits.

Frost: Do you believe in the Sermon on the Mount?

Gates: I don't. I'm not somebody who goes to church on a regular basis. The specific elements of Christianity are not something I'm a huge believer in. There's a lot of merit in the moral aspects of religion. I think it can have a very very positive impact.

Frost: I sometimes say to people, do you believe there is a god, or do you know there is a god? And, you'd say you don't know?

Gates: In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid










And from your links Mark is Agnostic but acknowledges that spiritual exercise is entirely useless. It doesn't mean he made his many as a result of his spirituality. After making his money he still exploring meaning of life:

When a commenter asked him, “Aren’t you an atheist?” he responded: “No. I was raised Jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important.”





Your assertion that you must be spiritual to strike it rich us false

"Governor Willie Obiano, on his part, slammed Okorocha, saying he has not provided the kind of leadership in Imo State to inspire any governor to join his party.
“The question should be, has Rochas Okorocha provided an inspiring leadership for the people of Imo State under APC? So, why would any governor in Nigeria heed Okorocha’s call? Okorocha is an example of what a leader should not be,”

Hypocrites.

16 countries have a permanent ban on Isreali passport - which affects american citezens too. Ever heard any CNN junk lending their voices to repeal the discrimination?

**** you have no idea what's going on. The liberals are making noise because they need the immigrants (including the illegal ones) to prop up their population so they can keep basterdizing America's founding values, culture and judeo-christian tradition. This is a war for the soul of America. And truth will always triumph over lies, and light over darkness.

The American carnage and wanton bastardization of her scared traditions stops NOW. You guys and your ilks can migrate to the Gambia if you are pissed.

modath:


Some nitwits (NL resident chronically embittered & disgruntled elemets) rejoicing in this ban have no idea of the far reaching effects of what this power drunk crazy mofo has done....

A professorof Molecular Genetics from Switzerland who happens to hold an iranian passport was among those banned from entry into & this is someone knee deep in research for cure for Tuberculosis & Diabetes..... How is this OK

Pentagon, Joint Chiefs, Homeland Security were not consulted before emperor baby fists swung into motion, now he has left poo for them to clean up... Frantic efforts are already being made to get waivers for people from these countries acting as spies & translators for them....

In all of this, it speaks loudly that Saudi (Terrorist.com) UAE, Qatar and co haven't been included.... Business/ PROFIT over EVERYTHING ..., Trump really echoes the sentiments held by some peeps...


There is no way this won't be blocked!!! No way!!

You are the one who do NOT read your Bible.

Otherwise you would know that there was WAR IN HEAVEN (and the angels fought in the battle).

Jesus CONQUERED hell and took the power of death.

There will be WAR led by The WORD (Christ) before the coming age.

God is called the consuming fire.

Jesus is called our elder brother (the first born fron the dead) and the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

So quit making Christianity appear docile and weak lke you.

Christianity is not defined by your ideology of docility, weakness and timidity.

Jesis died a lamb but rose as a conqueror, lion and a reigning king. There is zero weakness in him.

TIMIDITY and STUPIDITY are NOT HUMILITY.

goldman777:


Yes because it is not Christ like. Only people like you and Donald trump support anti Christ like activities do you read your bible at all.Christianity is a religion of peace that is why Christian killers like Paul was convinced to convert to Christianity and till today many others see d light of d peace in d body of Christ (Christianity).tell me anywhere were Jesus the founder of Christianity practice jihad.abeg hold ur peace brother and stop inciting killing because that is not the language of Christ.

Waste of time by ignorant species.

This is to show you what is going on in the west. May God help you guys so Trump do not get discuraged. By the time ISISand their ilks hit your lefty skulls you'd wish you never hated Trump as POTUS.

Waste of time by ignorant species.

I seriously doubt that you would be able to stand errect or talk coherently if you ever have a tiny chance to meet the man.

Greg Jones, a soft-spoken Floridan, travelled to DC for the first time in his life to support Trump.

Among thousands of people ambling toward the US Capitol on Friday, Dallas Horton shares an admission: He is, he says in a quiet voice, one of the key “architects” of Donald Trump’s election.

He wasn’t a Trump staffer, Horton clarifies, and he never worked in politics. He has only met Trump once. But Horton says that at a campaign event in Colorado this October, he told Trump that the Republican nominee needed to soften his rhetoric on immigration to beat Hillary Clinton — and lo and behold, two weeks later Trump said he’d only deport “criminals,” implying that other undocumented immigrants would be allowed to stay.

“I know he gets lots of advice from lots of people, but I think he really listened to me because I told it to him straight,” says Horton, 63, who has a white “Trump-Pence” sticker taped to his beige cowboy hat. “And I think that’s a big part of the reason he won the election.”

Horton is a cattle rancher in western Colorado, and says President Obama’s decision to designate new national parkland in his state — thus sealing it off from private enterprise — has cost him tens thousands of dollars. He’s friendly and talkative, emphasizing his hopes for “national unity” and how Trump will help all Americans — not just the ones who voted for him.


“I know now how the early settlers of America felt after they won the Revolutionary War,” Horton says, teary-eyed. “I really believe what he says. He’s going to Make America Great Again — for everyone.”

Don’t lose sight of the “average” Trump voter

Most Trump supporters are polite and non-fanatical — not avowed white supremacists.

Since the Trump phenomenon began on that escalator all those months ago, news reporters have often focused on the most outrageous and fanatical members of Trump’s base: the avowed white supremacists who endorsed his candidacy, the Pizzagate conspiracists, the alt-right fanatics at the “Deploraball.”

In reality, Trump’s election was not powered by an alienated fringe of internet trolls, but rather by a majority of America’s predominant ethnic group. As Vox’s Brian Resnick and Sarah Frostenson detailed right after the election, close to 60 percent of US white people — about 62 million of them — voted for Trump.

https://www.nairaland.com/3601329/exit-polls-broad-range-white#53263394

It was an overwhelmingly white crowd that turned out in Washington on Friday to celebrate Trump’s inauguration — and an overwhelmingly polite one.

These attendees did not grab the headlines amid the chaos, bullhorns, chanting, and fanfare. But they were most representative of the group that brought Trump to power.

Polite white people are central to Trumpism

Trump supporters ease through a crowd.

Almost none of the Trump supporters attending the inauguration who spoke with Vox knew anything about “Pepe” or the “alt-right.” By and large, they talked in simple, optimistic terms about their soon-to-be-sworn-in champion.

Waiting in line to access the inauguration, husband and wife Ken and Kristen Fritschel, who hail from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, say they’ve never heard of the alt-right, and they don’t mind peaceful protests. They are, they say, excited to take in the sights of DC and see some of the national monuments.

“I think Trump surrounded himself with people who are very level-headed,” says Ken Fritschel, a consultant. “I’m just optimistic because he promised to make government more efficient again and create a business climate that helps us.”


Trump and his supporters were met with much resistance on Friday. Zachary Crockett / Vox


On H Street, Northwest, still in line for the inauguration, George McCall, an executive at a community bank, and three friends from western Virginia — including a dentist and a real estate executive — express similar sentiments.

“We felt it was important to make this pilgrimage,” McCall says. “Anyone who has been paying attention knows he’s going to Make America Great Again by ‘draining the swamp.’”

A little ahead in the line, David DiPietro, a local assemblyman from Aurora, New York, brushes off questions about Trump’s demeanor. “The ‘alt-right,’ the ‘alt-left’ — all that stuff is way overblown,” he says. “I don’t consider myself a Republican. Forget that label. He’s an American, and the people love him. Just look at this.”

Ken and Deborah Heath, two Trump supporters waiting in line with matching ponchos, watch a parade of protesters march down the street. Deborah shakes her head.

“We don’t get into all that,” she says. “I think what they’re saying is ridiculous, but we respect their right to free speech and to protest if they want. They can shout and do all they want to do.”


Trump supporters look toward the Capitol Building as Trump in sworn in on Friday.

Greg Jones, adorned in a Confederate flag cowboy hat and American flag boots, says he was swayed by Trump’s promise to restore manufacturing jobs. After watching Trump get inaugurated, he hangs around at Union Station, hoping to strike up friendly debates with protesters.

“They see my hat and tell me to go to hell,” he says. “Just come talk to me. Give me a damn chance. You’ll see I’m a nice guy, capable of engaging in a conversation.”

Jones, from Daytona Beach, Florida, came to DC for the first time in his life to support Trump. “I used to work on trains as a factory worker,” he says, leaning up against a railing. “I’m a simple guy. I have a family to feed.”

As hundreds of protesters marched by the seating area of the train, Jones said he’d been trying to talk with someone the whole time. Nobody had stopped for more than 30 seconds.

Updated by Brian Resnick and Sarah Frostenson Nov 9, 2016, 1:35pm EST

There’s a simple reason why Donald Trump won 276 electoral votes, and the US presidency: White Americans wanted him to be president. No, not just working-class white Americans. And no, not just white men. As the exit polls both show and infer, it was a broad coalition of white Americans that helped give Trump very narrow victories in a few key states.

Many headlines today are pointing out the fact that Trump did exceptionally well among working-class whites as the fuel to his victory. It’s true he performed well with this group, and took working-class white areas that President Obama won in 2012. But it’s not the complete picture.

First, look at the topline numbers, from CNN’s exit poll of 24,537 voters at 350 voting locations. Fifty-eight percent of white voters chose Trump. A lot of the white areas that Obama won in 2012 went to Trump in this election, as the New York Times points out. Hillary Clinton lost Iowa, which Obama won in 2012. Clinton lost in Obama-won territory across the Midwest, the Rust Belt, and New England as well.


1. Chart showing the majority of white voters voted for Trump according to exit polls

Dig down deeper in the data, and you’ll see that Trump had a broad collation of white support. Nearly half, 49 percent, of white college graduates — who typically aren’t considered “working class” — voted for Trump.

2. Chart showing many college-educated white people voted for Trump

And what about white women? Leading up to the election, many pollsters and pundits speculated that white women were shying away from Trump, especially in light of revelations that he once bragged about groping women without their consent.

Well, again, nearly half — 45 percent — of college-educated white women voted for Trump. That figure was 62 percent for non-college-educated white women.

3. Chart showing many white college educated women also voted for Trump

Altogether, these results, while still preliminary, suggest there was one major demographic factor at work. “After looking at the data from the election last night and talking with a number of social psychologists and political scientists, I think the key driver in this election was white identity,” Jay Van Bavel, who studies intergroup conflict at New York University, said.

And the results show that campaigning on a platform that’s skeptical of international trade and treaties, that insists on strong borders, and that favors deportation for undocumented immigrants and perhaps bans on entire religious groups from entering the US works for these voters.

And this thinking — that Trump’s victory transcends economic issues — shouldn’t be a surprise. According to estimates from spring exit polls and Census Bureau data, the average Trump supporter earns $72,000 a year, well above the median household income of $56,000. Social scientists have also made a compelling case that anxiety over immigration and racial issues is what fueled Trump’s appeal.

(To be sure, it wasn’t only white voters who elected Trump: He also got 29 percent of the Latino vote and 8 percent of the black vote, according to the exit polls.)

All that said, keep in mind that exit polls can often be flawed. As Vox’s Dara Lind writes:
__________
...exit polls concentrate on bellwether polling places, which are liable to swing from one candidate to the other depending on who’s winning — not safe red or blue precincts where the question is how much a winning candidate will run up the vote.
___________
As a result, the kinds of, say, Latino voters that the exit polls will interview might not be representative of the bulk of Latino voters. And the exit polls might be more likely to interview suburban white voters with college degrees in swing districts than well-educated white urbanites — who might plausibly be more likely to vote for Clinton.

We’ll have more data and insight on this election in the future from the US Census Bureau. But for now, it seems clear: Even though the US’s demographics are rapidly changing, the white voters still have a very loud voice.

May sided with the goverment during the campaign and QUIETLY supported the Remain block because she was a top official in the govt. of Cameroun who was a staunch Remain proponent.

But remeber that the Exit block called for Cameroun's resignation immidiately after the referendum because of his glaringly anti-Exit stance , which May was never known for. This explains why May was pickd as Camerouns succesor and why she is going ALL OUT to exit the EU - CLEANLY, and WITHOUT any form of attachement; not even in judiciary.

I suggest you read he 12-point exit plan.

Adekamkpe23:


Theresa May was never in support of Brexit, where do you get your news? If you people think Trump would help actualize Biafra, you have another think coming.

You must be living in the Mars.

Brexit was majorly a british revolt to the EU's slacky hold on border protection and immigration especially as it relates to islamic migrants. And May T, as the british minister of interior for six years, was in full support of the exit movement. If anything, she was not as unpatronizing as Mr. Trump because she is a career politician and diplomat, which Trump is not.

Aside that little difference in political correctness, her ideology is pretty simillar to that of Trump. And the fire of this nationalistic ideology will spread across the EU in the coming months. Those who think that Trump is alone will be shocked back to reality pretty soon.

The reality is that rhe world has just changed .... for the better. No more budget for global parasitic living.

Adekamkpe23:

Downing Street would be mindful of this petition, Mrs May don't really like Trump and am sure the queen detest him even more.

I am of the opinion that the man of God must stand up to the institutional bullies.

Just in case they played back the video to him, I urge him to use the following line without attribution to the original author.

DSS: Can you tell us why you should not be locked up for making these provocative statements?

Apostle: 'I totally stand by my words. Nothing has changed. Even the constitution recognizes the fundamental need for self-defence. If the state fails to protect its citezens, then the citizens will have no other option but to attack their murderous assailants in self-defence. This is more so where it has been established by the state's political leaders that these relentless murderous assailants are foreigners. So, if you do not want what I said on that video to happen, then you must stop those murderous herdsmen. If you cannot stop them from killing us, then you cannot stop us from defending ourselves. There are no two ways about it.

Suprised that Orji Uzo Kalu was not in attendance. Bunch of shameless and short sighted jerks.

2. I don't expect you to know what's wrong with OP and his opinion. Afterall you are in Nigeria, where 99% of the people lack basic information and media literacy skills. That's why you could excuse misinformation; and sacrifice objectivity on the altar of sentiment.
