Critical thinking...critical thinking...oya use your critical thinking proffer solutions apart from abandon religion...no way

They don't have any solution apart from that. I've had this argument with people on Whatsapp. I got tired. Same story.

Their critical thinking is just for argument. Nothing more.

What is the need for critical thinking if after critically thinking one can't proffer a single solution apart from abandon religion?

They are a bunch of pretenders who've refused to take any responsibility.

religion is the worst prison in the world because it is the only one where it's prisoners want to remain there no wonder Karl Marx called it the opium of the masses.
for instance just ask the people I know what are their plans in making it in life,u are more likely to hear "na god grace" than detailed plans about finances,tech,logistics or even migration,most people do not protest because "god will punish our leaders"imagine if the French didn't behead their king but waited for God to act.
So that's how bad religion and superstition are for national pysche,while absense of religion doesn't necessarily make a person critical,but religion damages reason for majority of people.
It is a fact that the richiest countries are the most atheistic,America is the only first world country where religion is still important,and richiest US states are the less religious(California/NY,masshachusetts).so religion is inversely proportional to wealth/education.

The thing weak me.

Even if I am to agree with them, what's the concrete reason for me to abandon a practice that has been real to me from birth?

It will take more than "abandon your religion' to do that. I guess religious folks are smarter than the critical thinkers [s]because they can't figure a way to win my soul[/s], whereas uneducated folks have been doing that since time immemorial.

Anyway, every man to his own.

Edited.

Speak for yourself and those you know my guy.

So, your solution is for Nigerians to protest and behead their leaders. Do you have any other solution you'd like to add?

Names of these countries...Thank you.

I am sure u know the meaning of revolution right,why I am not an advocate for violence,it will take a nigh revolutionary changing in thinking,attitude and education for Nigeria to progress,I just hope at least one of those african countries get better so at least I can bail if Europe and America nor work,because I don't see any meaningful change for a long time.

Not as extreme as beheading, but we have to start being unified in our support towards a third party candidate at all levels of government.

We can't continue to voice support towards any of the current ruling class because they are one and the same.

During the last BREXIT crises in UK, a new party was formed and in the last election, that party won lots of seat.
We can take a leaf out of that and be united in our actions of clearing out the old political class and the only way this can be feasible is if we do away with religious bigotry and tribal jingoism.

diggz:



You are not religious! You've seen a greater path which should put you in a better place compared to those Nigerians who are religious, yet your personal revolution is to run away and not be the problem solver. But you think the problem of this country is religion

Una never start...

nihilistjnr:


How do you propose we do that?

donjazet:


By Standing behind a credible candidate who is not a member of the current political class.
Someone in the mould of Sowore but with lesser baggage.

religion in Nigeria is like cancer,and just like how cancer is had to get rid so is religion, so the best option is for me to hope for migration to a more secular/richer/ educated place.

Nigeria has had 3 prominent problems since the inception of the country.
Religious bigotry, tribalism and high illiteracy.

Of the 3 major problems, religion is the key problem because it prohibits peaceful coexistence. A religious mind will always be judgemental and suspicious towards other different religions or nonreligious people. Because for the religion to survive and thrive, it has to perceive others as threat.

Religion is soo polarising and divisive that it can hardly ever be united itself. That's why you have a situation where a Catholic will despise Pentecostal churches and the Pentecostal churches will even despise and distrust themselves.

If we somehow eradicate religion and tribalism from our country, every other thing will fall into place.

In advanced countries where those things are minimal, you see progress and unity.

In America for instance, you have situations where an atheist man(Obama) born and raised in Hawaii can become a senator of Illinois, and a man born in newyork can become a senator of Vermont. Even an athestic immigrant from another country all together becomes a governor of one the second richest state California.
Can you imagine that happening in Nigeria?
The moment we can begin think beyond our religious and tribal difference or eradicate them permanently, we will move forward together.

We have to remove religion from all learning institutions. That will be a good first step.
