KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, SO GO ON AND EDUCATE YOURSELF, YOU DESERVE IT...

Knowledge is power, and freedom.....!!!

And traditionally, worldwide those in power, whether wielding religious; traditional; political; governmental; institutional; social or economic power, have almost ALWAYS sought to keep the masses ignorant and in their "places". So that they can CONTINUE to wield the instruments of power and maintain the great socio-economic advantages they have accrued for themselves, shikena!!! I

SO PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELVES EVERYONE. IT'S A SOLEMN DUTY YOU OWE TO YOURSELVES FIRST AND THEN TO ALL THOSE AROUND YOU. AND I FEEL IT IS EVER SO IMPERATIVE IN THE NIGERIA OF TODAY!!

Pick up a BOOK; read, assimilate, ponder and reason. Discuss weighty matters with experts and scholars of the field. Read theirs and other articles, debate, LEARN and then let your reasoning come to the fore. Take in only what is GOOD, BENEFICIAL, INFORMATIVE AND ENLIGHTENING. Eschew ignorance, religious superstition, blind prejudice and the crowd mentality.

And for those of us who have any faith, please let's also STUDY our holy books PROPERLY and then ask for enlightenment and understanding from our Creator where there is any confusion or unclarity, and even before... Let's also learn about the HISTORY AND EVOLUTION of our personal religious beliefs, from their inception to their current day practices and PONDER on whether we are truly and actually following the ORIGINAL AND GOOD teachings the founders of the religions wanted. that for me is the bottom line; the original GOOD plans, intentions and practices.


AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN EXPECTING AND ASKING PEOPLE TO QUESTION AND ABANDON ANY BAD PRACTICES, BELIEFS AND TEACHINGS from their religions as guided by their personal consciences and current day laws!!! This I believe will certainly help create a better society for all of us to live in. Because when we know better, WE DO BETTER.

So go on my friends, seek, learn, do and then teach and together we can actually make this world a better place. At least our own little corner of it will be a little brighter, a little happier, a little kinder, a little calmer, a little nicer... And that's good enough for me, I don't know about you???
