Religion? Spirituality? Christianity?


The more people claim to be Christians amidst all these evils, the more I wonder who really is a Christian. Is it they who go to church, or they who lead good or honest lives, irrespective of what religion they affiliate to???

The truth is that everyone believes in something, whether it appeals to the neighbor or not. Christians believe in Christ, Muslims in Mohammed and Allah, Buddhists in Buddha and each sect claims theirs is the best, and the others will rot away in hell.


My friend, Maveriqué Richard once said that by religious standards, we all deserve a portion in hell, The Christians shall perish in the Muslim's hell, the Muslim at the Buddhist and so on. Therefore, it's not about religious affiliations, but about what you bring to humanity. Even in Christendom, Catholics believe Pentecostals are not doing it right, Pentecostals believe they have seen the light, and Jehovah's Witness believe they are the best. What exactly are we doing?

Some believe in rigid fellowship of whatever they believe in, aggressive evangelism and the sorts, no compromise whatsoever, even to the extent of not relating with the "unholy" sect. I am a Christian, and I want to remind us that Christ, although he is righteousness personified, identified with sinners. He even went to parties, if you doubt, go and ask those who went for the wedding party at Cana.

Some people shout on top of their voices while praying, and I wonder if they didn't see the portion of the Bible where Christ went to a quiet place to pray? You swim in holiness yet, you won't give that poor person a lift in your car.  You eat and throw away, you wear and set your old clothes ablaze, while hungry and unclothed people live around.

Christianity isn't all about going to church, it's about the heart. We all grew up clinging to our beliefs as passed onto us by our parents, but I strongly believe that the only true religion is that of humanity, where we quit all hypocrisy and serve the God that lives within us and others.

If you don't like what I wrote, or the way I wrote it, I will be in the comments section 😂 😂

    Well articulated. I always say it anywhere and I keep saying it. The best religion we can practice that clearly portlays the idle life if Christ is HUMANITY. Humanity should be our priority.

UNN Documentary Film

“It first began as a dream in 1934 in the mind of a 30 year old Nnamdi Azikiwe. He saw a desperate need to nurture from our own land, home grown elites, who would not be dictated by the influence of colonialism. Azikiwe’s educational philosophy lays bare to his idea of a rounded institution, with admirable utilitarian tendencies; this, constituted the core of his vision for the University of Nigeria. Timeline in the Den: Here is a nothing to something story; a documentary film on the history of indigenous University education in Nigeria. The Nsukka experiment.

Mindset!!!

I have 25k in my account, and u have 40k. Somehow somehow, I love good things and I always go for what I want, albeit reasonably, but u always recall ur a student whenever you want to spend! I see a pair of shoes I like, it's 12k. I price and price and they sell for 8k, I pay and smile. I get a good shirt and a belt together for 5k. I see other things I like and I put them down in my "to get" list. In ur mind, You can't imagine a student wearing such expensive stuffs, but you won't tell me I'm wasting money. You don't want to spoil our friendship, or rather, you know I won't listen.

Recuperating...

The day had been a rather very tedious one, that you could imagine how happy I was to see dusk. I hated Thursdays not mainly because of the end of week tiredness, but the double periods of practicals practically sucked life out of me. As I and my group members trotted out of the lab, the excitement that greeted the arrivals into the lab had waned into tired faces and legs, eager to get back to the hostels to refresh and rest before the various night activities on campus would start. I glanced at my wrist watch and winced. I would definitely be missing the evening mass. I can't imagine myself walking any faster than I was, neither was I going to rush my food in the restaurant. "If the Lord would not understand ", I thought to myself, "then I am sorry". I excused myself from my friends who were engrossed in their chitchat and made for the restaurant. At least, that would be a very nice starting point in this journey of recuperation. I placed my order and w...
