You clearly missed the whole point of my post...you only saw my metaphors as literals and went straight back into ur spiritual world again.

Someone must start somewhere. Its funny you say im indulging in wishful thinking.

Well if you will not try to bond with your brother to make a better nation then so be it. Hopefully there are others who are will to start things.

Good luck in your fantasy world of spiritual haven

Its clear you didn’t see my joke. Lol.
I’m not saying I’m against a better nation, I’m just warning you beforehand that simple human tactics will not work. I was like you once. Only God is my hope now. A sure hope. Good luck anyway in your child-worshipping nation building endeavors

Think about it bro. Your hope is your god now. Yet your god is taking just as much time as africans are taking to bond and make things happen.

Seems to me your god is taking a long time to make things happen. No difference between waiting for your god and trying to make things happen...atleast from ur house.

God doesn’t work with your timetable. He is God. It is senseless to think he will choose to work based on your whims to please you.

And my definition of “make things happen” is very different from yours. Entirely. God is already making things happen. I used to be nationalistic in thinking, now I just want His Kingdom to be advanced, whether it results in transformation or persecution or both in varying degrees. I don’t expect you to understand my meaning though.

Are you some kind of religious fatalist or a Jehovah's witness that doesnt care about the national government.

Your mindset is a very dangerous one. Your bible tells you to give unto ceasar what is ceasar's. Something about your civic duty. Yet, you are here saying that you only care about God's kingdom to be advanced. How does one enter heaven? Didnt Jesus say that one should love his neighbour?

Wow, I can't believe that I'm preaching to a christian. Me, an atheist. This is how backwards many christians have become.....damn

THOUGH YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN OPINIONS, YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG. THE SAME PEOPLE YOU ARE CONDENMIMNG ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT BROUGHT YOU WESTERN EDUCATION, TECHNOLOGY ETC YOU ENJOYING TODAY. TALKING OF SLAVERY, WHO WERE SUPPLYING THE SLAVES? DON'T FORGET WE HAVE BEEN ENSLAVING FELLOW AFRICANS BEFORE THE ADVENT OF THE WHITE MAN. IF THE RELIGION OF YOUR FORE FATHERS IS THAT GREAT, THOSE RELIGIONS YOU MENTIONED WOULD NOT HAVE CONQUERED AND OVERTAKEN THEM.

Dear nairalanders, please take notice of this human being called Joshthefirst.

He is an example of why Nigeria will not get better. Rather than learn something new, he would rather close his mind and call something that is factual "nonsense"

Note that he didnt elaborate why it is "nonsense".

Spoken like a man defending his slave master.

There are about 250 tribes in Nigeria. Were all tribes involved in the slave trade? Stop giving whitewashed history.


The British who brought christianity have dumped it. Most British people are either non religious or nominal Christians who dont go to church

In other words god's success rate is just as 50 50 as the probability of chance. Then i think i might put my money on chance. Because chance doesn't require monetary payment, doesnt require prayers and worship with 3 hrs of boring sermon heard over and over and over.
Its a no brainer here. You people always know the mind of ur god when trying to convince but never seem to know when questioned on specifics. Oh well..goodluck

Oga you don’t have sense oh. Where did you see that I don’t care about the national government! You don’t even understand what I mean, you’ll just make up nonsense in your head and start jumping up and down. Toh. Well done.

You clearly stated that you dont care for national issues anymore, in response to Africans workington make things happen.

And I meant that I no longer think that being solely nationalistic and patriotic will help to do much good or cure the ills of this world
