I wonder why a Nigerian/African be an atheist. American, we understand most of them if not all might not have seen or believe in ghosts, spirits, spiritual charms, powerful Herbalists, the way pant stealing have been rampant just for ritual, ritualist harvesting human parts for money ritual, real miracle by religious scholars and many more. We Nigerian/African must have seen atleast one of this, on social media or real life or have Been told about it. Why will someone say NO supreme being exists, No god, godess, God. If you are a Nigerian especially and still claim to be an atheist, you are just ignorant, tired of the restrictions of religion (i.e you want to be free) or you are deceiving yourself, period.
u are evry dumb for this statement. So because we hav seen or hear crap flying around we should just believe it abi?
Until these people who claim to be doing money rituals are richer than Bill gates then I'll believe in it.

If money ritual was real, why are those babalawo not making themselves rich?

U lack brain.

That education is the key to success...
It is remains the key to success.
Unfortunately, you still think that education only happens inside the 4 walls of a classroom and close your mind to what happens after you leave that venue.
Criminals are educated when the judge sentences them to prison. Everybody receives an education everywhere, everyday.

No, O is "Order" and not "Of"
Wrong O is of ....not Order

E.g 6 of 3×2+1

"Order" came into existence when the syllabus was expanded to include Power of orders and polynomials which eventually give birth to PEMDAS or PEDMAS

As the syllabus keep expanding, the acronyms keep changing.

Don't just read things on forwarded whatsapp messages and take it like that. Do your personal research

If you are the son of an herbalist, you must inherit your father's profession, stay with the idols, do all what it ask you to do, herbalists are limited to the life an ordinary person lives, I know very much about this. As for those that do money ritual, they always have something to sacrifice, like human being, and for sure they won't want to over kill people, just to be rich like bill gate, They will surely be caught. For those stealing pants, they don't have much access to it, nobody is willing to give out his or her underwear, so they can never be rich like bill gate

My government teacher taught me that:

1. If you are a public office holder (governor/president), your wife is not expected to be pregnant throughout your stay in office.

2. You can't contest for public office while you are occupying a public office. You must resign first before being qualified to contest. For example if you are a president and wants to contest for second term you must resign first. You can't stay in the office and contest.

The second one is supposed to be "you cannot hold a political party membership while holding a permanent and pensionable employment with the government.

This means that you cannot contest for any elective public office while being a civil servant or public servant where your appointment is permanent and pensionable.

Having a contractual appointment with the government will certainly forbid partisanship too, and so one would breach his contract by participating in elections where party membership is required.

I know, but if you carry out your survey on those unemployed, those that graduated with third class, pass, or someone that stopped his education at secondary school or Diploma are the ones shouting online. I said MOST hardworking people who strived and had good grades like first class will surely get a decent job.

When I was small, they told me that if you swallow Orange seeds that it would grow out through my head.

One day I swallowed an Orange seed & couldn't sleep that night. My imagination was so baaad. In fact, I would wake up and touch my head to see if it had germinated. Then, my God! I would be asking my self questions like how do I sleep when it eventually grow out of my head? How do I sleep, how do I walk through my doors & my God how do I relate with people.
Chaii!! Fear grip me for about two days, until my good blessed mum told me it was a lie because I was almost going gaga.

Kai, lies and/or Superstitions can affect our lives, gaskiya!

Hear the word of the Sovereign LORD o simple one:

Does a clay pot dare argue with its maker, a pot that is like all the others?
Does the clay ask the potter what he is doing?
Does the pot complain that its maker has no skill?--Isaiah 45:9

I have made everything; that's how it all came to be. I, the LORD, have spoken.--Isaiah 66:2

Bless your soul my brother.
