  WHO IS THE PROBLEM? One sunny afternoon, I had the rare opportunity to overhear about 5 “valiant” youths having a discussion about the upcoming Nigerian Presidential Election and which candidate to vote. One young, muscular man among them then touched on the subject of vote buying and voiced out his opinion that he would, without blinking an eye, sell his vote for whatever amount was given to him. The punchline I would like to draw from his words were; ‘I sold my vote during the last presidential elections, am I dead?’  My emotions immediately got stimulated and I decided in my mind that this guy must be mad to say such a thing. However, after a few minutes, I thought about his words again & again and I could help but ask myself what really made him have that kind of view and would I have done any different if I was in the same circumstances? The truth is we’re all really hypocrites and we may outrightly condemn an act by another meanwhile given the same circumstanc...

Random thoughts on God and Free Will

 So I had this thought about the world and God in general. The question which keeps bugging me is whether or not there is free will. Many would undoubtedly contend that that if God exists then we can't have free will. This, according to their reasoning, is due to the theory that if a supreme being exists then our actions can't be without some sort of control. everything (according to the theory) is predestined. This is probably where the idea of fate comes from. The idea that no matter what decisions you make or whatever outcomes are achieved has long being determined by a higher being or supreme force. This is equally present in Greek mythology. The sisters of fate through their threads of fate have woven a clear path for each human which means their every decision is to ultimately end as the thread predicts. In reality is this actually the situation? My answer is to the contrary. I contend that we indeed control our own faiths and decisions. I'd first like to explain with...
