Maybe you will skedaddle when you go deeper and know more, like you did in Islam.

This is pretty interesting, you should consider collaborating on sci-fi. I liked that Jagun Jagun seemed to explain some spiritual ideas practically, like that scene where those guys brought out a gun to shoot the woman from the spirit realm, na normal talk when dem dey talk spirituality, when they say dem shoot person gun....it was nice seeing it play out in a movie as is, and not symbolized by something different (say blowing powder or something, even though they indeed meant was a person being shot.

Is Nigeria the only country affected by this so called Economic crises? Why is Nigeria worse hit than other countries?

Simple Answer- Because Nigeria was being led by an effigy called Buhari as at the time.

If anybody should be making excuse for failing woefully in terms of Economy it should be Obasanjo who inherited a country plagued by corruption, haphazard economic planning and distortion of economic policies no thanks to years of military government. Yet U don't see Obasanjo nor his followers making such soft-landing excuses for him.

Instead Obasanjo set out to steady the economy, he disposed of moribund government corporations/assets like NITEL and co and created an enabling environment for investors like MTN to come in . (I already told u to ask those who were adult or in their teens in pre-2007 and they will tell u how the economy was faring under OBJ)

I've practically shown u Sanusi the "economist" whom u revered so much pointing it out to u that that Buhari "infrastructure hill" u are trying to die on-top is not the way to go as it makes no economic sense. But I guess u sha want to defend Buhari even if the defense no make sense to u sef

monerozi5590:



It must not make economic sense to you in particular.

Sometimes, government is not about profit making but welfare of her people.


Do those people go by train free? They paid money.

Not everyone has the money to by air or road. Going by train is cheaper. People are employed and people/ goods are transported from one place to another.

You want Nigerians to be dying anyhow because of bad road. ? Go to Nasarawa and other states and see how good roads have reduced accident.

Look at the military hardware bought under Buhari.

How much did Obasanjo meet the fuel price and how much did he leave it?

Buhari did a lot in infrastructure. Femi Adesina explained it better to the extent he shouted Buhari for life.

Lols, very funny. Islam is my religion of birth. I was indoctrinated and forced to engage in it from childhood.

If I had a choice and knew everything I know now as a child, I'd have remained an agnostic, which is the state of every human when they're born.

Fortunately, on reaching adulthood, I was lucky to interact with some highly intelligent people on Nairaland, which allowed me to research the history of the religion deeply and left it some years ago.

Now, I don't immerse myself in a specific philosophy, however great it's. So, yes, if I go deeper into Ifa and become initiated as an onifa (a priest of Ifa or babalawo), I'd still leave it later and become a freethinker.

But I don't really have the time or interest for such things. So, I don't immerse myself in a specific philosophy.

I read wide from diverse philosophies. Only a low-level thinker worships his mate as a god/God and immerses himself in that god's philosophy, which people call a religion, instead of creating his own philosophy to live by.

I don't worship any god/God. Now and in the foreseeable future, I'd always be a freethinker and an agnostic. Some people might call themselves pure atheists in the West.

However, I pity any freethinker in Africa that embraces pure atheism. It doesn't make sense and is a risky position to adopt in Africa.

Agnosticism, whether leaning towards theism, deism, or atheism, is actually the most reasonable position for freethinkers.

Some m.orons actually think my support for Otem means I follow his philosophy. But Otem himself knows I regard his works critically and put them through a test of scrutiny and logic.

Those that gave the book to him even urged readers to adopt this critical/skeptical approach as all of them were atheists and agnostics during their times on Earth.

That "Jagun Jagun" is a masterpiece of thespian Femi Adebayo in many aspects: philosophy, rhetorics, poems, and others.

The first set of sentences in the intro itself is pregnant with meanings. But only Yoruba people and those that understand the language deeply can understand.

Yoruba language is really a great language.

Cool story.

However, since you haven't gone deeper into Ifa, Ogun etc, to understand what scared some people away from them to embrace foreign religions, why can't you cease criticizing them and go deeper first?

I believe you know Ogun is hailed by: ... O lomi nile f'eje we (..one with water at home but prefers to bath with blood). Ogun worshippers don't see anything wrong in that, but some members of other faiths may see it as filthy and devilish.

Summarily, live and let live, as what you carry gorgeously as the best, may be battered from the other side, and you are left for a fool. Mind you, I am not against any faith or belief.

Lols, very funny. You don't even know the level of research I did on the history of religions, both local and foreign, before embracing irreligion, specifically agnosticism.

Ogun was a great human, a fiercesome Yoruba warrior. He had many good sides and various bad sides as well. But compared with Allah or Jehovah, Ogun was actually a saint.

The problem of those Africans that practice the Abrahamic religions is that they don't check things in detail before accepting them as true.

That's a key sign of low intelligence.

When the colonialists came, the Africans were brainwashed and ran from Ogun because of his fiercesome attributes and bad sides and went to embrace another past human that calls himself God, who's even a thousand times worse.

They left their forefather that they think is bad for another person that's a demon, pure evil.

They judge Ogun wrongly and unfairly using the standards of the modern world but their low IQ and mental weakness won't allow them to hold Allah or Yahweh, Ogun's contemporaries, to the same standards they hold Ogun.

But Ogun was a celebrated warrior in his time and made key developments that advanced his people and culture. Hence, he was deified for his historic feats.

Many things he did in his time were lawful in that era. But they're not today.

Anyone that holds Allah and Yahweh to the same standards they use to judge Ogun, Sango, Esu will gladly embrace the latter set who are his ancestors, his roots.

This is because those last three are actually saints when compared with Allah and Yahweh, who're demons, pure evil.

I looked at all these gods critically and discovered that many of the local gods are relatively better and more humane compared with the foreign gods, their mates.

That's why anyone that calls me Omo Eshu (Eshu's child), Omo Ogun (Ogun's child), or Omo Sango (Sango's child) or elebo (pagan), I'd just tell them, "I'd rather be called any of those than having anything to do with demons from Arabia or Isreal."

And historically, those titles apply to all Yorubas.

Even so, highly intelligent people don't worship Ogun, Sango, and the likes in modern times again. What's the gain in that? Where were Ogun, Sango, and the likes when the invaders, colonialists, and slave masters came?

But if I see any African worshipping any of their African ancestors, I actually commend them for their intelligence and courage, but I just urge them to modernize their spirituality and put more emphasis on critical thinking, philosophy, and science and less attention on worshipping and making sacrifices to a deity.

They should adopt a science-based approach to spirituality.

I don't have much issues with those ones. But Christianity and Islam are huge threats to Africa.

Both of them seek to destroy Africa, but the founders of the continent won't allow them, which is why the pillars of support of both religions have been cut off using science and technology.

The guy that's talking about abolishing African cultures and traditions is very ignorant and naive.

He thinks those cultures and traditions he sees around in Africa created themselves, but they were designed by some past humans, who are their guardians.

When Africa was colonized and enslaved, that happened because some past African ancestors actually lost the battle in the unphysical realms, which religious people call spiritual realms, to the European and Arab ancestors.

(The physical realms we see with our two eyes are actually a picture or projection of the unphysical realms. Otem and Plato explained this deeply. No time to go into that now.)

However, the reverse is the case now, and the pillars of support of those two religions from Europe and Arabia have been cut off. In the coming years, science and technology will keep growing and growing and human brains will evolve.

That's bad news for Allah and Yahweh, who are the pillars of support of Arabia and Israel and some parts of Europe respectively.

So, the death of Islam and Christianity is only a matter of time. They'd soon get a taste of what ATR suffered.
