i wonder why people are so happy abt the news. if only they knw the consequences of hacking.

i do not support any of this cos it further shows that Nigeria is at the verge of destruction. for pple who really understand what am trying to say, this development is like killing a mother to revive a sick child- who knows if the child is gonna survive? i can fore-see major violence outbreak if things continue to thread this path...

are u f****ing kidding me??? really? i doubt if this boko haram has any conscience. the country is still nursing the fuel subsidy removal and deaths of innocent xtians on xmas, and the only thing Nigerians can get to comfort them is another threat. WTF? i am a christian but my grandparents are muslims- how do we go abt that if the senseless killings by boko haram is all abt religion? does that mean tht the xtians in the south shld chase the muslims out? i cant believe this is really happening. the future isnt bright  for Nigeria anymore...

very well said!!... i am in total support

Nigeria is endowed with unbelievable wealth, but resources without a system, structure and lasting institutions is dangerous. Religion, poverty, ignorance & illiteracy have destroyed our value system in Nigeria. Religion is clearly the opium of the oppressed and keeps Nigerians addictively high with illusions that things will get better as long as they fast and pray. These can clearly be seen in this viral Video of Wealthy man of God in Nigeria assaulting young female who is unyielding and kneeling before him in front of his congregation as they cheer him for his actions Click here to watch or this documentary by Seyi Rhodes exposing Nigerian preachers Click here to watch. With all these religious intolerance going on in Nigeria wars are fought, lives are lost and the little infrastructures we have are destroyed. There is a notable saying in Nigeria that says “Suffering and Smiling” which means Nigerians are happy people though we face hard times in our country we still get to smile. Let us not forget that the saddest people have the best smile because they try to cover up their sadness so smiling doesn’t make you a happy person. Let us not boast with smiles, because other countries with little natural resources like Nigeria have more than smiles to brag about. If only Nigerians will change their mentality of suffering and smiling which makes us laid back and accept our fate as it is and bother less to make changes or even fight for what is right.
My observation form the ongoing problems Nigeria has been facing can be traced down to religion. Be it Muslims, Christians or any other religion in Nigeria. Religion itself is very confusing with more than 20 documented religions existing in the world and all battling for supremacy of their messiahs. It is this confusion that the religious leaders capitalize upon to sedate their followers, oppress and extort them of their meager salary and hold them hostage with promises from above (Heaven) and hopes for miracles.

Religion is seriously turning into social gatherings, house of senate and life future securing areas where the unmarried go to seek for marriage, the jobless go for job seeking instead of filling out applications, actions that should be taken against our corrupt leaders are tabled in the church in prayers. Students come to pray for success in exams instead of studying, the weirdest thing I have seen in Nigeria is the pastors blessing the pen the students will use in writing exams and asking the Holy Spirit to take control in the exam hall. Nigerians forget that faith without works is dead, little or no input of energy leads to less or no force output and “he who do not know that he doesn’t know it will never know it expect you try to know it”.
The only way out of this bondage of fanaticism, religious bigotry and too much uncontrolled religiosity is education and empowering Nigerians. But unfortunately many Nigerians prefer to be instructed than educated, oppressed than empowered and always blame spiritual influence on any predicament they face which leads to an average Nigerians paranoia.

There are many things that require our physical actions to change positively but instead we Nigerians hide in our rooms, churches, night vigil, religious conventions etc. pretending to be praying for a solution. We do not need any rocket science to turn the bad situation around for better but our collective physical efforts to get in tune with our community, what is going on around us and know our rights.

Nigerians only believe in prayers without any physical action whatsoever, which is the result of the stagnant growth our country is facing today. We spend most of our time praying for things that need our efforts and actions (Example: please God touch the heart of our leaders, please God make Nigeria a better place, please God touch the heart of our corrupt police men, Fire of God burn our corrupt leaders, the list goes on). Leaving our corrupt leaders unchallenged and grant them freedom to run the country down because the followers are not concerned with the politics of the country rather waiting for an Act of God to turn Nigeria to a beautiful utopia. Why can’t we call a spade, a spade and stop letting sleeping dogs lie? With all sincerity, religious sentiments put aside of which Nigerians are sentimentally dogmatic which makes them conceal the truth because the subject is from their constituency (religion or tribe).

If Martin Luther King didn’t fight as hard as he did to make a change, only spent his time in the church and preferred to be instructed by most uneducated religious leaders we have in Nigeria who are money minded, he wouldn’t have had a “Dream”. If Nelson Mandela prayed once and asked the Holy Spirit to stop apartheid, and didn’t sweat, bleed and go to jail for it what would have been the fate of South Africa? If Obama decided to be a junior pastor whose duty is to carry the senior pastor’s bible around and preach false messages of change only to enrich his pocket than working hard to make his famous and Victorious Change Speech, I guess a USA black president would have been a Greek myth.

If only the Nigerian youths will reject our countries apathy towards ongoing crisis and be the voice of the nation, if every Nigerian will stand upright and challenge what is wrong, things would be a little better. A revolution doesn’t have to be bloody to be a revolution. If we have unity amongst us, empower the young generation, educate and not destroy, work towards bringing  positive change to be able to revolve around Nigeria’s current political and economic situation, that is what I call a “Revolution”. Change is all we have, education is the foundation to build an economy and “In God We Trust”.

Stop sitting around and offering solutions you have no intents of not taking action. Now is the time for a change we have been craving for in a long time.

@joe, e tire me o. nigerians r full of sentiments. always looking for someone to take responsibility for everything

what doesnt seem right about it? is it that the pastor is holy and politicians are sinners or that pastor eats with God and politicians eat with the devil!? get serious poster, the headline makes no sense!. everyone at the party is human...irrespective of beliefs or proffessions

hahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahaahhahaha....hahahahahahhahahahaah

oh no! another mentally derailed, angry white woman blaming their misfortunes on black. if roles were to be played candidly, blacks are supposed to be angry. how come she forgot so quickly how the sick " whites" encroached our lands, stole our treasures and took us as slaves. if only she knew the atrocities are fore fathers have committed against the blacks, she wld have jumped into a moving train.

unseriousness vs joblessness....no more script to act

sometimes i wonder if nigeria will ever be safe again...

wonders shall never end....end time signs

signs of d end time....beware everyone

seriously where are d beautiful girls in nigeria? am sure we can do better than "THESE"

now be the judge...who is d witch btw d child n d man?

i told y'all nemesis will catch on dis politicians starting with their children..

flimsy, lame excuse for robbing other pple of their sweats. 99% of thieves caught give one excuse or the other to justify their actions...learn to tk responsibilities of ur actions

i always respect ur perspectives cos they are right on point with no sentiments. most people tend to shy away from the truth. the present govt has shown its inability to lead us right.there is only one solution to all dis problems: cast ur votes right! a word is enoogh for the wise

i see we share same ideology. u have spoken right, may God bless ur brain. i pray it wont be too late b4 we realise this.
