If Norway should win the match against England today. The viking row is officially going to be a full blown cultural export.
Goodluck to the best team. 💪🏽💪🏽
CULTURAL TRANSMISSION or GEOGRAPHIC DETERMINISM is the phenomenon where an individual's religion is largely determined by where they are born and raised.
The religion you practice today is not as divine as you may have been thought to believe, it's largely geographical and/or cultural. If you can't choose where you would be born then you also can't choose your religion as it is mostly passed down to you.
The human brain reaches 90% of its adult physical size by age 5 and stops growing in volume during early adolescence (24/25 yrs.) but its internal wiring and maturation continue until around age 32.
You were consistently taken to religious gatherings and indoctrinated before your brain even started developing, If it continued till 24/25 years of age. You're fully locked in. I personally consider it super human to unlock it if this continues till 32 years of age... depending on the degree of indoctrination.
Trying to go against a belief system hardwired into your entire neural pathway at its inception is not normal. It actually goes against your natural human instincts as your brain would interpret it as "Self harm".
So... if you are reading this and you seem to be having some psychological discomfort or mental tension. Relax....It's natural, you are only experiencing "Cognitive Dissonance" and you only feel this way because....even if you know that what you have just read is mostly true, it just doesn't align with your deeply held values, beliefs, or attitudes. That is why at this very moment, your mind is constantly trying to resist by reinforcing your belief system.
This post is not open to argument.

People keep saying religion is not the problem but it’s part of the reasons why we don’t hold our leaders accountable. Cause in the Bible it literally says vengeance is for the lord. People wey we suppose change am for we dey wait for God to punish them
Do people need religion?
Yes...For a lot of people religion provides a shared belief system, it gives them a social structure, a community and identity. It provides them with certainty and rituals, gives them a moral compass and language, provides them purpose and hope...honestly these are good things.
What I have realised over time is that some people actually do better outside of religion because they have these four things in place and if you must leave religion you must understand that these have to be met.
1 - They have enough security not to live in survival mode (their social and maybe financial structure is not built within the religion)
2 - They have a balanced community outside of the church that they're connected to.
3 - MOST IMPORTANTLY *** They can tolerate ambiguity, uncertainty and paradox
4 - They know how to build meaning instead of inheriting meaning from religion. This meaning is not fixed... it's open to review with time and experience it adjustments and changes are required
It's okay being religious but just understand that this is going to be the cost of deconstructing it, particularly if you have spent so many years living it.
Alex Onyia is revolutionizing the Southeast through heavy investments in education.
Ogbeni Dipo, a supposed PhD holder, is on X space giving thousands of reasons why frying akara and corn is the best choice for the Southwest.
In the North, children are being used for political gain.
At the end of the day, the means will always justify the ends.
So like Play The 3 most Intelligent Mathematicians on the Planet Under 15 yrs old were somewhere in South Eastern Nigeria chilling. This Country really Hampers Talent. We must do our best to Promote Education going Forward. The possibilities are Mind Blowing. I’m so Excited. 🥰🥳
Black people have a lot to learn and unlearn.
The Nigerian government did not pressure FIFA to bend its own rule and overturn a red card. The US government did, through its head, Donald Trump. You have an example as recent as that, but you ignored it because you have been taught to abhor corruption only when committed by people who look like you.
Do better.
“We cannot allow Africa to unite, control its own resources or develop”
Kwame Nkrumah challenged this, and exposed how imperialism continued after independence, and he was violently overthrown by a coup sponsored by the usual suspects.
Today, some misguided Africans are asking, “why should we continue to blame the colonizers (that never left)?”
That's why I said that this guy is either crooked or does not possess the intelligence some people ascribe to him. Either way, he's not a rational person. And the intelligence of an irrational person is completely useless.
The main reason he's saying this is to shield the president from any form of public outrage. He wants the public to misdirect their outrage to the aides instead.
There’s some truth in the president basking in a constructed reality, though Bola does know enough to call his wife Iya Alakara, but Ini is still not giving you the full picture or doesn't understand how it actually works.
He spoke about the President’s aides and close cabinet members filtering information, but what he is not telling you is the structures these aides work for.
I have had close dealings with some of the presidential aides, and I can tell you for free, they don't work for Nigeria. For instance, there is an unwritten rule that aides to top government officials MUST work for foreign NGOs, which is actually where they make the real money.
These foreign NGO set agendas for them to relay to their principals. Again, I am speaking from direct experience. Check all the aides to top elected officials, from the President, Vice President, Lawmakers, down to the Ministers; they all work for foreign NGOs.
Is the President completely innocent in this? Nope. Because what do you expect when you are installed by these same foreign powers?
Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars. Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. All we want is clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.
I took the boys and teachers to the Italian Parliament building in Rome, which is equivalent to the National Assembly in Nigeria.
The boys asked why everyone was walking freely and why the police were being so nice to us.
I told them that what you see in Nigerian government offices is Third World behavior.
If you’re leading your people well, nobody will want to kill you.
