Angelfrost:
Well, the truth is... Religion, not just church, has always been an instrument for manipulating the weak and to keep the poor subservient.

That's why Education needs to do more to liberate people's minds.

He who has ears should listen!

Mozikwe:
He may not be far from the truth because many people believe in manners to fall down from heaven without trying to find ends means,you see some people in church as early as 5:30am till may be 12pm calling on God for blessings when their mates are at their various places working to be able to get something.

There are numerous people who have been working and praying since when they were young and now in their late 40s to 50s.

Yet their Lives haven't improved Spiritually, Financially nor Physically. They keep wallowing in extreme poverty.

Lutherblaq:

U dey cap shi..

All the churches in Nigeria are business centers.

Absolute Truth.

How are they part of the reasons?

They are even helping people by giving them hope. Alot of people would've commuted serious crime or suicide withiout these business men of God.

I knew you will come up with this assertion.

Religions like Is.lam and Christa.inity aren't practiced the ways of the people who introduced the religions to us in Nigeria. It is a tool for subjugation, chaos, divide and rule, and poverty over here.

When last did you hear of Suicide Bombing, Poverty and Other Vices in Saudi Arabia and Rome?? Think out of the box please..

Nigeria has the most numbers of churches and mosques in the world. Yet have the most wicked and ruthless people. So what's your point?

Religion in a gullible society like Nigeria weakens the mind more. Real Education is what brightens the mind which in turn transform a society to a better one.

And lastly, Kindly do not forget my aforementioned point which is Religion isn't the Only Reason of the menace ravaging the nation but Major Part Of The Reasons.

yemmit90:
Pastors/churches are not the reasons many people are poor but Nigeria itself. Nigerians in UK, US, and other developed countries rarely go to church because the system is built in such a way that you can only prosper or live well by engaging in something productive.

Nigeria is not a country that rewarded hard labour or dignity in labour, hence people believes in hope and miracle to make it big in life. Religions Con men wouldn't have had it so easy to deceive people if the country take care of the welfare of her citizens like sane countries do.

Things has gone beyond redemption in Nigeria, and it's obvious we can't build a good society to live in.

Correct yourself please.

You should have said they are not the Sole Reason which is agreed.

But they are Major Part Of The Reason.

Human beings are known to leverage on their fellow human beings weakness and ignorance. It is what it is

In Nigeria, it is a place where the cunny people sells endless False Hope to the gullibles whom are mostly (Poor People) in order to keep their minds at rest while the sellers enjoy their heaven on earth.

It is different in first world nations because firstly, they own the religion and most of them go to church because they want to truly worship God and socialize.

But in Nigeria, most people go to church because of prosperity, to show off, to look for husband/wife and to wade off different forms of spiritual attack

If you like shout from now till the end of time, Most (Low In Spirit) people will not hear. That is the True Nature of Human Beings

Humans think too much of themselves to be very significant in the grand scheme of things

malali:


The problem is worse than we even know it to be, I will give you an example. Tinubu borrowed money when OIL was $100 a barrel. Now that oil is about half that price, he has to give them double the barrels he promised originally. Lets say original loan was 500k barrels will be used to repay the loan daily. Now we need 1 million barrels to repay the same loan. Nigeria only produces 1.5 million a day. So we are using 1 million to pay loans we used to build loans and stadium. And only have 500k barrels left to sell and pay salaries and run the government.

This wont last forever as we are slowly going to run out any barrels to sell for revenue, because we have borrowed against out daily max production !!!

This is apt and simple explanation. Even a dvmb layman will assimilate.

The westeners and other races came to discover and explored everything we have in our backyards.

Whatever Whatever.

This will never change the Fact that "Most" men will always MUMU for women.

Despite the high population of women scattered everywhere, I'm confidently telling you there are lot of "Poor Struggling men" who are yet to feel the warmth of women this YEAR to say the least

Lastly, What's the percentage of the men in the category you talking about lol?? men are the Prize indeed🤣

When an average black man would prefer to keep his fellow men in Abject Poverty.

This World is so Meaningless!!!

The Shege dey go round.

Rent a good apartment with Great autistic and no noisy and nosey neighbour. I am set

Una go hear my opinions tire until it starts shaping your own

At the bolded

Na them plenty for Nigeria most especially in those trenches neighborhood. Very archaic and terrible beings😂

An apartment inside a Gated Highbrow Estate is the best option for you.

Lol welcome to the party.

This is exactly what experienced well to do people usually warn your caliber of people about. Some of you think doing business in Nigeria is just all about all the stuff you see on the surface lol.

In Nigeria, Even if you have 50 Million Naira, If you are not financially smart, wise and prudent. You might still go back to the trenches.

What you don't understand and most people will not tell you is "Most" of those doing Physical Business in Nigeria are into Shady Businesses which they derive their main Money from. Those physical business you see are just for fronting and smokescreen.

Personally i do rather travel out of the country instead of doing any business in Nigeria, Even if i have 100 Million Naira. Our lifestyle and what we want in life differs.

For Example, If i'm being offered to choose between the two options below. I will definitely choose option 1 without thinking twice.

1. Relocation to US, Work Permit, Permanent Resident, Job of $6000 Monthly which includes Free Acomodation and other benefits.

2. Receive 100 Million Naira, and Stay permanently in Nigeria, You will never be able to travel outside Nigeria again.

Kaido:

Exactly!

Men should take care of themselves and forget about marriage.

Modern marriage is a living death for men.

Golden Advice.

Those who will hear will hear and Those who wouldn't listen wouldn't listen.

Everyone with their Choices.

Adanambra1:


Baby mama ism and Baby Dadyism is part of the systemic problem

Allow them to keep applying problems to problems while expecting solution

Dalohad:
People are dumping DISCOs and installing Solar.

My village was without light for 5 years. I spent N5 million installing solar and gave NEPA a middle finger.

I will be spending N15 million this to have my office go off-grid.

In the next 20 years, DISCOS will struggle to stay afloat, more people will dump them, and they will increase bills, layoff staffs and reduce power distribution to stay afloat.

Those who still patronize them will pay the fee of those who have dumped them to go off-grid.

Write this words on stone for future reference.

Chief calm down ooo😂

They will soon introduce Tax Bill on those infrastructures you people facilitated yourselves. From Borehole to Solar Energy

Just watch except it's not Black Nigerian man.

Nnamdipapa:
Get a girlfriend pregnant and move on, settling down is a scam and most married men with kids are never really settled. You are lucky to be single and have no k8d at 3 and you dont know what you have until you lise it. Most married people in Nigeria are suffering and smiling and, will always lie about their experiences. Do not fall for it.

This Post too make sense except for the "Get A Girlfriend Pregnant" which i don't .

Deadbeat parents are one of the biggest problems which affects society.

adamkkk:


I swear, apart from my wife, there is no Nigeria woman that will genuinely love you like those days and it only because my wife is always busy working as an officer... even d luv sef get k leg.

Infact my wife .

Women generally are incapable of NATURALLY loving men genuinely, Though there are exceptions but very few.

But in most cases, Most men loves women genuinely without asking for too much from them.

Check most Marriages most especially the Well To Do families. Most women are in the marriage strictly for PROVISION & PROTECTION. If women can naturally get these things themselves EASILY. Most of them won't be under the roof of any man.

So stop demanding LOVE from them.

Bro dey eat the word 😂

I tell you my brother😂

I'm in your Age Range as well and i'm experiencing what you are going through too. But me i can't come and kill myself oooo because i'm a very Stoic Person so nothing dey shake me. I have read about this event years ago and this is just the beginning!

I have made up my mind if i don't get what i deserve in romance. No Marriage for me that.

When it comes to Offsprings, I am planning towards Surrogacy because i don't subscribe to that Baby Mama stuff. That's All.

lusid:

mjuvey3:
My dear brother,I'm in your shoes

I'm 37,single with no kids but I keep meeting money hungry women....Even the decent ones who comes from good homes and have high paying jobs are money hungry and entitled.

There are still few good women out there but the problem is,they don't go out much and they don't reply DMs on Social media....You can only get them through connections or if you're lucky to meet them on the road or at a particular spot like eateries,malls, church,salon,markets etc.

This is the absolute truth.

Person no fit buy a kg of meat from abattoir Na ram they wan buy, enjoy, una neva see anything, thank God the person inflicting this on you is also your fellow Muslim.

They love their misery.

Fight don start nii

I kept having the feelings that their romancing will experience Friction at some point because it was too much

Some of the things i realized at some point in life and which has been very effective for me are as follows👇

I always keep my expectations low.

I don't get too much excited over things.

Lastly, I deal with most human beings at an arm's length.

Back to the Topic.

Taking care of Kids ain't a easy task. It's too tasking and it is a thankless job.

If government should come up with strict regulations and penalties with regards to parenting. I bet you a lot of men will opt for vascetcomy.

But we all know government needs Large Population to keep running the country. So they won't come up with such. Hence you see Reckless men pouring their seeds carelessly everywhere.

There was a time i inserted those small round air-freshner Kanfo deep into my nose unsupervised when i was around four year old i think. I was lucky our first born was around that day because nobody was at home. She heard me scream and came to my rescue. She carefully removed the object from my nose.

But after that, I chopped serious beating and went on to sleep afterwards😂
