how can you not believe in God when octopuses DREAM and otters have a favorite rock they carry around in a little SKIN POCKET and cows have BEST FRIENDS and bees are out there communicating the coordinates of flowers through INTERPRETIVE DANCE and they have REGIONAL DIALECTS??
cats are PURRING at frequencies associated with bone healing??? forests get absolutely incinerated and respond by growing FLOWERS??? dolphins literally invent NAMES for themselves and yell them across the ocean??? penguins are waddling around Antarctica looking for the PERFECT LITTLE ROCK to give their beloved???
CROWS REMEMBER YOUR FACE. THEY TELL OTHER CROWS ABOUT YOU. THEY TELL THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT YOU. YOU CAN HAVE GENERATIONAL BEEF WITH A BIRD.
goats have ACCENTS. rats GIGGLE when you tickle them. elephants mourn their dead. whales make SONGS and then OTHER WHALES LEARN THE SONG and suddenly everybody across the ocean is singing the new hit single.
monarch butterflies are born knowing how to fly thousands of miles to a place THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN. sea turtles hatch out of an egg, immediately sprint toward an OCEAN they have never seen, disappear into it for like THIRTY YEARS and then somehow come back to THE SAME BEACH???
birds can see COLORS THAT WE CANNOT SEE. there are colors happening RIGHT NOW that we don’t even get to know about.
there are sea slugs that eat algae and STEAL ITS CHLOROPLASTS and then are just like great thanks I’ll be PHOTOSYNTHESIZING NOW. there are mushrooms communicating underground. there are seeds sitting in the dirt for DECADES like no actually I will wait.
squirrels plant MILLIONS OF TREES because they simply cannot remember where they put their snacks.
A CATERPILLAR GOES INTO A LITTLE BAG, DISSOLVES MOST OF ITS BODY INTO ORGANIC SOUP, REARRANGES ITSELF, GROWS WINGS AND LEAVES.
and you’re telling me a tiny acorn knows how to become a 70-foot oak tree??? nobody tells it what to do??? it just has TREE INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE IT???
your body started as ONE CELL. ONE. and that cell divided itself into a brain that can think about its own existence and eyes that can look at stars and hands that can hold somebody else’s hands and a heart that runs on ELECTRICITY without you even asking it to???
the iron in your BLOOD was made inside a STAR.
I’M SORRY?????
we are walking around on a wet rock covered in bioluminescent oceans and singing whales and laughing rats and birds holding lifelong grudges and flowers exploding out of FIRE and somehow we’re supposed to act like this is a normal place to live?????????
Kills me when people say they post for themselves, as if they can’t just go on their camera roll and see the pic “for themselves”. We’re inherently social creatures, we go mad in prolonged isolation, we crave attention and validation. It’s okay to just own that, it’s human even
$5:499 per gallon equals $1.099 per liter.
$1.099 per liter equals ~N1,500 per litre.
So they are buying fuel at practically the same price as Nigerians.
Minimum wage in USA, working 8hrs a day for 5days a week: $1,256.67 (N1,671,371).
Minimum wage in Nigeria, working 8hrs a day for 5days a week: N70,000 ($54).
Amount of fuel US minimum wage can buy in USA: 1,143 Liters
Amount of fuel Nigeria minimum wage can buy in Nigeria: 53 Liters
Thank you for confirming that you, him and all your APConfraternity members are interplanetary buffoons.
@LilianOkupa@ulxma What are you even saying?
How exactly did her “gender” fight and hold the Nigerian family for as long as possible.
The sentence doesn’t even make sense, you’re just waxing poetic rubbish to soothe yourself

Atheism Is Not Your Rebellion
It's only Nigerians who can somehow turn atheism into a form of rebellion. 😂
Bro, atheism is not a lifestyle. It is not a fashion statement. It is not an excuse to misbehave. It is not "my parents are too religious, therefore I am now an atheist." And it is certainly not a passport to become everything your conservative upbringing told you not to become.
Atheism, in the simplest sense, is the absence of belief in gods. Finish.
You can be an atheist and still be conservative. You can be an atheist and be disciplined. You can be an atheist and never drink alcohol. You can be an atheist and remain faithful to one partner. You can be an atheist and respect your parents. You can even be boring. There is no Atheist Headquarters issuing igbo, tattoos, and piercings upon deconversion.
But Nigerians have a special talent for turning ideas into something else.
We did something similar with feminism. A serious political and social philosophy about women's equality enters Nigeria, and before long, some people reduce the entire thing to "I don't cook for men." Meanwhile, feminism is considerably bigger than who washed the plates.
Now atheism too has entered Nigerian hands.
Somebody quarrels with his pastor, discovers Christopher Hitchens on YouTube on Tuesday, changes his X bio to "Freethinker" on Wednesday, starts insulting everybody's religion on Thursday, and by Friday he has somehow concluded that atheism requires him to become a public nuisance.
Calm down. 😂
You may simply be irreligious.
You may be agnostic.
You may be questioning your faith.
You may be angry with organized religion.
You may simply hate your church.
You may even just be going through your own personal rebellion.
All these things are legitimate experiences, but please don't package all of them and write ATHEISM on the package.
Because atheism doesn't automatically make anybody intelligent, rational, moral or sophisticated. An atheist can still be stupid. An atheist can still believe nonsense. An atheist can still be tribalistic, corrupt, misogynistic, fraudulent and superstitious.
Removing God from an irrational mind doesn't automatically produce a rational human being.
And this is particularly funny in Nigeria because some of our newly minted atheists haven't even completely evicted Jesus from the building.
Small NEPA transformer explosion:
"JESUS!!!"
Plane enters turbulence:
"Blood of Jesus!"
Danfo nearly hits them:
"Jesu Christi!"
My sis in disbelief, who exactly are you calling? 😂
Of course, these expressions can simply be cultural reflexes. That is precisely the point. Leaving religion intellectually is different from disentangling yourself from a lifetime of religious culture.
So take your time. Read. Think. Question. Learn philosophy. Learn science. Understand skepticism. Understand the difference between atheism, agnosticism, secularism, humanism and simply being pissed off with religion.
And most importantly, develop your own moral compass.
Don't escape one form of dogmatism only to join another.
Your personal crisis does not have to become the public face of atheism.
Some of us are just here quietly not believing.
Leave atheists out of your rebellion. 😂
Omo I suffer that year, Christianity really be aging you. Carrying Holy Ghost on my head, na craze I Dey craze.
Was 15 in the first picture the second I’m 18 and atheist
@bossolamilekan1 Nah bro, This is really bad for you and your brand. Nothing like we will all do the same, don’t generalize your bad behavior in a bid to make it seem like it isn’t as bad as it is.
Own the fact that you’re a bad person cos only a horrible person would think like this
@tobilobaphotog You obviously have never played football a day in your life cause when your back is to goal and the ball comes at you with pace, high level instinct tells you to redirect it cos the keeper or defenders may have already tracked the initial shot < 1sec to decide and the GOAT GOATED
