Religion / Re: Oyedepo & Kumuyi Meet At Abuja Stadium To Pray For Nigeria by tomquest: 11:06am On Aug 10, 2016
A nation where everyone calls God God yet they don't know Him.


Love is the greatest religion.


Other progressive nations practice love. That's why their citizens don't steal public funds like we see in Nigeria. That's why they have powerful institutions and fantastic public infrastructures.


But in Nigeria, we pray, but don't love.


That's why wickedness, corruption, greed, selfishness and materialism prevails...


...we started praying since 1960. What has changed?


Our hearts still remain the same- black as charcoal...

Truth comes in different shades.

Pastors receive their blessings from church funds while members of the congregation are told to wait for divine breakthrough... Our mumu neva do?

They collect from both the rich and poor to build big schools which the poor amongst them cannot attend freely...

They ride multimillion dollar private jets and live in opulence in a third world nation where millions (including their members) are living under a dollar per day...

They no longer preach about sin or rapture but prosperity and tithes. The FULL truth about tithes is never preached..."

When will our mumurism end?

Very beautiful.

But from where did he earn all these billions as a public office holder? The amount spent here for the enjoyment of one family (of less than 10 persons) is enough to build a manufacturing plant that would guarantee employment for 500 persons with their families.

Africa is doomed beyond redemption.

Kid 2. You don't have to respond to every kid's comment, so as not to bring out the kid in you. You didn't have to tell us what you drive now or what you drove at 25.

The truth is that we don't believe you (because this is a faceless social media forum).

I just keep wondering why Nigerians still patronize Peace Mass Transport Company (PMT) after all the hundreds of young lives they have wasted on our highways over the years.

Funny their buses always have "godly" inscriptions to attract religious Nigerians who believe so much in the power of prayers over man's physical lapses and recklessness. Do they not know how many prayer warriors have perished with/in PMT buses?

Two things are obviously wrong with PMT: man and machine.

But trust my Naija people, as long as the buses have "Prayer is the master key" or "God is behind the wheels" then they wouldn't care whether PMT drivers are doing 160km/hour or even hitting record number of return trips per week, than the competition. It wouldn't matter if they don't even check tires before each trip.

Well if you pay less attention to the physics of this world, then join PMT for a quick "heavenly" experience.

Whatcha think?
Lalasticlala, mynd44, Seun please don't patronize PMT o.

Romance / Re: Why Get A Degree, Only To Become A Full-Time Housewife by tomquest: 11:27pm On Aug 07, 2016
marvelck:
A lot of naija girls are fond of doing this. Imagine after acquiring a degree or becoming a graduate, they end up becoming a full time house wife once they get married. A lot of girls end up not making use of the degree or qualifications she sweated, struggled and sacrificed a lot to acquire in school. If that's the case, what is the need of going to school, if they dont intend using it to improve their lives professionally. Maybe, they feel getting married and becoming an housewife has more value than any university degree....

How many housewives have turned down your job offers, and how many of their husbands have complained to you?

dokyOloye:
It's not a matter of religion,ignorance or pride nor selfishness.
It's a matter of our slow stages of development wc is worsened by bad leadership.

It's a matter of

1) RELIGIOSITY because 8/10 of religious people would rather pray and believe they are covered with "some powers", than service/check their vehicles, caution over-speeding and reckless drivers.

2) IGNORANCE because 9/10 of Nigerian drivers DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE! I know what it took me to get a drivers license in Canada. But in Nigeria, even a blind man can obtain one.

3) PRIDE because "Big Men" in Nigeria are often above the laws of the road, after all they can literally "payoff" our law enforcement agents. Or intimidate them and other road users.

4) SELFISHNESS because most Nigerian motorists don't care about the other guy behind the wheels or even a pedestrian.

Bad roads only contribute 5% to road crashes. (Yes only 5% because no driver would claim that he/she doesn't know that our roads have been bad since 1960). Bad leadership contributes 25%. So 70% of auto crashes are caused by MAN.

Yeah you are right about that too. The whole system needs to be worked on honestly but at least accidents are not planned but hospitals should always be ready.

My dear the type of accidents we see in Nigeria, only a lucky few make it to the hospital alive. But yes, hospitals should always be equipped and ready for emergencies.

adedapodvirus001:



My brotherly advice:

1) after doing your SWOT, test/try/practice the business first with your 100k and see how viable it is.

2) DO NOT BORROW EXTRA MONEY to start a new business. Start small and grow gradually. I'm saying this because if you make mistakes (which is normal in a new business) with borrowed cash that probably has interest, then it's a new challenge for you to deal with.

I wish you the best in your venture.

Religiosity, ignorance, pride and selfishness are killing us on our roads.

Pictures like these should be put up on giant billboards on every 20km of Nigerian roads. Maybe that's the only thing that can remind road users that they can die too.

For how long do we continue saying RIP while the same disasters keep happening on weekly basis?

Sorry for your experience. Assuming the vehicle leaves at 7am, it would arrive at 11 pm, assuming you guys have an hour's break. But if it leaves at 10 am, you'd arrive at 2 am. Did you expect to get to Bauchi same day?

I support u on this one man.
I also need one to secure me nd my family. The way Nigeria is going, i think we'll need to secure ourselves cos the police aint to be trusted.

Think of it this way: if your state runs it's own police and the community where you live operates it's own security personnel (more like vigilante) which is in 24/7 contact and synergy with the state police, don't you think you and your family would be safer than in this present setup with very family owning a gun?

Crime / Re: Reasons Why Guns Should Be Legalized In Nigeria by tomquest: 6:31am On Aug 07, 2016
Truly there's some sense in this but you missed some points:

1) you can legally own a gun in Nigeria but it's quite a process to get the necessary permits.

2) Nigeria has so much poverty and many illiterates. Making guns come easy to them is like advocating for chaos. People would be shot dead over flimsy excuses.

3) Nigeria's judiciary is messed up with corruption and injustice. If I shoot you over a flimsy excuse, you'd likely not get justice if I'm a "Big Man".

4) Residents have no documentation in Nigeria. Before you give easy permits to your citizens, you must account for every one of them.

5) Nigeria needs "Regionalism", where every state would exclusively run her own police in synergy with respective community security outfits.

Why is nobody talking about the main reason he died which is our healthcare system. Since he got to an hospital alive I thought serious scans would have been done to ascertain any level of internal bleeding. Our hospitals seems to be fond of that - an accident victim comes and they just treat physical bruises not checking if something is happening internally, anything could have happened inside now.

Thats how someone I knew had okada accident, hit her head on the express and the hospital only treated the bruises she had on her body. It was months later she died from internal bleeding from that same accident and I was like couldn't the hospital have recommend them to do an internal check just to be sure, its not like she fell from the bed to the floor.

Well maybe no equipments angry

Very intelligent comment. But I think a lot more focus should be on our transport system and how unsafe it has become. Ghastly auto crashes every week claiming so many young, vibrant lives.

Phones / Re: Why Is it That No One Is Talking About LG Phones by tomquest: 5:28am On Aug 07, 2016
Ehuatamuigunisi:
I have been a Samsung Galaxy phone user from S2 to S4 and to Note 3 presently. Am in love with Samsung note series, hence the reason to upgrade to Note 4 Duos or 5 Duos. Going by the economic downturn in the country, my pocket is not supporting any upgrade above 100k naira. In a bid to look for alternative to the Galaxy Note series, I stumbled onto LG stylus 2 which is about 70k. The research I carried out on the phone revealed that LG had already launched Stylus 2 plus with fingerprint sensor and other high specs. I searched Nairaland for more information on the new LG stylus 2 plus but am in the dark. No news, no rumors, no enthusiasts, no fans. What is happening?

Let me give you one information (thank me later): Any phone you wish to buy, go to gsmarena (gsm arena) mobile phones website to get the best detailed review as well as global customers personal reviews on the phones.

The site even allows you to compare two phones side by side. You'd love it. It's the No. 1 website for mobile phones review.
