A great question. Christian philosopher William Lane Craig has called cosmology "a religion for atheists." He's not being dismissive here; rather, he's alluding to the way atheists gravitate to the natural sciences. Most people long for a connection to something bigger than themselves, and they need to believe the answers to the big questions about life are out there. When I was growing up atheist, I knew that conventional religion served that role for a lot of people. But for me it was out of the question. So, what was left? Science. There's this sort of modern mythology that science turns people into atheists, but the data show it's more like atheism turns people into scientists. Sociologist Elaine Ecklund discovered in her survey of nearly 1,700 U.S. scientists that only 10% became less religious as a result of their scientific work. Mostly, the explanation for why so many scientists are atheist is that science draws them in. From my own experience I can tell you it's largely because science is a substitute for religion. In my case, though, science led to actual religion.

landlord increased your rent from 10k to 100k But you can’t afford it, so your landlord helped you to facilitate a loan from his loan company so you can pay him rent. Instead of fighting the landlord for increasing rent in the first place, you’re celebrating he was a good person to give you loan. That is nelfund for you.

All media houses have to be all over INEC like a rash. INEC needs to explain to Nigerians these AI picture allegations. M All opposition parties too need to be on this.

We Cannot Leave The Burden Of The 2027 Election To Peter Obi Alone #VoteNDC #VoteObi

The founding father of Singapore, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, once observed that “when a political system is corrupted from the very top to the lowest levels of the bureaucracy, the problem becomes almost impossible to solve without a revolution, a thorough cleansing that must begin from the top and proceed systematically downward.” He emphasised that such a process requires strong leadership, courage and moral authority derived from unquestioned integrity. With the courage and integrity required for this task, I intend, if elected, to follow this principle by leading a decisive campaign against corruption—like it has never been fought in this country before. The OK ticket makes the same firm commitment to securing our people. Enough is enough. Bandits and kidnappers must understand that our amnesty offer will take effect when our victory is announced. Any crime committed after our inauguration will be dealt with decisively. Using every lawful means necessary, we will identify the perpetrators and their sponsors, dismantle their criminal networks, and restore order, stability and freedom of movement. Within our first two years in office, we will resettle internally displaced people in their communities and empower them to rebuild their lives with dignity. Agricultural transformation and industrial growth will be central priorities of our government. After restoring security, we will help farmers return to their land, support each state and region in developing products in which they have the comparative advantage, and build processing facilities close to farming communities. Once elected as President in 2027, I will dedicate all my energies to fulfilling my promise of transforming agriculture and industrialising Nigeria. With security restored, we will incentivise farmers to return to their farms to boost smallholder farming. We will launch an agrarian revolution whose hallmark will be to enhance value addition and make agriculture a supplier of adequate and affordable food for Nigerians and a major export earner. Our focus will be on ensuring that Nigeria becomes globally competitive in agro-products where we have comparative and competitive advantage. We will turn Northern Nigeria, with its enormous land resources and its hardworking people, into an agro-industrial cluster that boosts Nigeria’s industrial capacity and growth. Expectedly, education and health will be among our priorities. Nations that have been transformed achieved greatness because they deliberately promoted education and ensured the wellbeing of their people through the provision of quality education and healthcare. Our government will work with state governments to improve the quality of primary, secondary and technical education, including training more teachers and guaranteeing them improved remuneration and an improved welfare package. Our government will ensure that teachers are among the highest-remunerated groups in Nigeria. In addition, we shall subsidise education to ensure that no child or able Nigerian is left behind in the pursuit of education. Our natural endowment will no longer be wasted or mismanaged. We will provide different forms of targeted subsidies to key sectors of our economy to truly support our people and stimulate a new and productive Nigeria. These subsidies shall be distributed across critical sectors like education, agriculture and energy, among others. Let me conclude by stating that Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and I are dedicated to working for a New Nigeria. We will work to aggressively drive down the cost of living and pull our people out of poverty. A New and Productive Nigeria is Possible, and Nigeria will be very OK! God bless you all, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. -PO

did you know that if Tinubu leaves office today and Peter Obi enters, we will have a better working country with great infrastructures and our money will regain it's value

If You Have Competence and Energy to Serve, Come and Campaign - Obi We can no longer accept people who are elected and not available. The president of Nigeria must be available at all times and must tour all over Nigeria. Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate, NDC

His Excellency Mr Peter Obi at the Palace of The Maigari of Lokoja today. Nigeria will be OK!

Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso will not spend billions of naira on SUVs while millions of Nigerians are struggling with hunger and poverty. The fact that the APC cannot go a day without mentioning Obi's name in its political sermons suggests that the party recognises the strength of the PO/RMK movement. Nigerians, a great change is possible in Nigeria, and with your PVC, you can help make it happen. x.com/NewsCentralTV/status/2…

Atheists and agnostics do not lack evidence for God. They suppress it.

Peter Obi's message has reached Arewa. The North will vote massively for NDC.

There's no evolutionary explanation for this

A NEW AND PRODUCTIVE NIGERIA IS POSSIBLE, AND NIGERIA WILL BE OK Yesterday, 26th of October, our Party, the NDC Campaign council was inaugurated in Abuja. As part of my remarks, I told Nigerians how our richly endowed nation, the giant of Africa, is now the world’s poverty capital. Regrettably, over 140 million Nigerians are multidimensionally poor, representing more than 60% of the population. Corruption remains widespread, while insecurity affects every part of our country. Unemployment and inequality are at record levels, and Nigerians face severe and avoidable hardship. Even with the removal of the fuel subsidy and reckless borrowing, with a debt of over ₦165 trillion, there has been little or no corresponding increase in productivity. In the last three years, President Tinubu has foisted on Nigeria a reign of corruption and duplicity, resulting in extreme poverty. Today, President Tinubu has made history as the leader who has created the largest number of poor people in the world. This year, he has made about 16 million Nigerians extremely poor. Just last Saturday, President Tinubu, while launching his re-election campaign in Kaduna, blamed past and opposition leaders for the hunger and poverty that have ravaged Nigerians. What is clear is that President Tinubu does not have the competence, the capacity, the character, compassion or the commitment to solve the problems he created. He lacks the energy and the resolve to get Nigeria out of the current worsening crisis. Under President Tinubu, despite his promise to fix electricity, Nigeria now has the lowest consumption of electricity. Without reliable power, businesses cannot expand efficiently, hospitals cannot provide dependable services, schools struggle to operate effectively, and households face additional financial burdens. We will pursue an electricity reform programme focused on reliability, affordability, investment, and accountability. We will work with relevant federal and state institutions, regulators, operators, and investors to address the weaknesses affecting generation, transmission, and distribution. Under President Tinubu, Nigeria is more divided than ever, more terrorised than ever and more insecure than ever. Under President Tinubu, Nigeria has fallen into a crisis of values, such that our budgets are no longer credible and our laws are forged. Nothing is sacred. Nothing is spared from degradation, not budgets, not laws, not institutions. From our engagements with Nigerians across the country and all segments of society, the message is clear: Nigerians want and deserve a better, more productive nation, one in which good governance is visible, firmly established, effectively practised and embraced as part of our national culture. I, Peter Obi, with my very dear elder brother, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, implore and beckon all of you, committed members of our great party, the NDC, and all Nigerians, to join us in this crusade of rebuilding our dear and most endowed nation, Nigeria. Today, we begin a renewed journey towards a New Nigeria, united by shared purpose, founded on fairness, justice and equity, and committed to productivity, inclusion and development. We envision a nation where government prioritises the security and welfare of its people, good governance prevails, and public officials remain accountable. It will be a law-abiding society of healthy, skilled and educated citizens, where every child attends school and learns to read and write. No Nigerian should live in a displaced-persons camp, and corruption must no longer weaken our institutions or the fabric of our nation. A New Nigeria is our vision. A New Nigeria is our mission. Corruption today has become more pervasive under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s APC-led government. No state institution has been spared, and since 2023, its effects have spread throughout national life.

I received with profound sorrow the news of the passing of our dearest mother, Prof. Kamene Okonjo, beloved mother of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and revered matriarch of the Umu Obi Obahai Royal Family of Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State. Mama lived a remarkable life of service, dignity, wisdom, and devotion to her family, community, and humanity. Her passing is a great loss, not only to the Okonjo family and the people of Ogwashi-Uku, but to all who were privileged to know and draw inspiration from her life. At this difficult moment, I extend my deepest and heartfelt condolences to Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala @NOIweala , the Obi of Ogwashi-Uku, His Royal Majesty, Obi Ifechukwude Okonjo II, the entire Okonjo family, the people of Ogwashi-Uku, and all of us who mourn this great matriarch. May Almighty God grant the family the strength and comfort to bear this irreparable loss, and may He grant our dearest mother, Prof. Kamene Okonjo, eternal rest. -PO

Nigeria will be OK

EXIT OF A TITAN I am deeply saddened by the passing of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, the revered Afenifere leader and elder statesman, at the age of 100. Baba lived a life defined by courage, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to democracy, justice, and a better Nigeria. His passing is a great loss to his family, the Yoruba nation, and our country. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, the entire Afenifere family, and all those who mourn this great patriot. May God grant them the strength to bear this painful loss and grant Baba eternal rest. His legacy of principled leadership, selfless service, and steadfast commitment to democratic ideals will continue to inspire generations. -PO

This is how stupid our people are. And it’s most of the population I am selling rice for N1,000. Rice is essential for everyone to eat. Everyone is buying the rice. Suddenly a new producer comes and says rice is now N10,000. You complain and groan. He now goes “Ok I will give you loan so that you can afford the N10,000 rice”. You now jubilate and say “This man is trying. He cooked with that loan for me to be able to afford rice” This is the tale of NELFUND.

Zekeri Idris is the DG New Media of our Campaign Council. Congratulations! I know you will deliver.
