Critical Thinking: A Panacea for Personal and National Rebirth

- December 05, 2023

By Ogiri John Ogiri. I do not intend to provoke, by this piece , what philosophers would refer to as a conceptual crisis.Hence, I have decided to evade any academic attempt at a conceptual definition of the term "Critical Thinking" in order to focus on practical areas I think we should use it. ( You can consult Silvano Borruso's The Art of Thinking published by Paulines Africa in 1998 for more on Critical thinking) Over the years, I have observed, of course, through personal interactions and pen contacts with some Africans particularly Nigerians, that Critical thinking is an area dreaded and avoided by many. Yes, critical thinking, the type that can dislodge and expunge from our minds, false religious beliefs and restore our minds to critical consciousness and bring about a fundamental change in what we believe, how we believe and the way we do things, is avoided by most Nigerians. Many believe that, there is nothing we can do, usually ending by saying "...

Different Ways Men and Women View Sex.

- December 13, 2023

By Ogiri John Ogiri. Sex is a very interesting but special experience created by nature (God) for the enjoyment of His creatures so that both the human society and animal society can continue to create and recreate itself in an unfettered evolutionary process. In fact, God ended the creation of man and animals several centuries ago. Consequently, the over 7 billion people who occupy the earth today were not created by God's traditional means of moulding a clay and breathing air into it. They were conceived through man's recreative ability through sex and other means of having children. In the same manner, several millions of different species of animals on earth today were created through their own God-given abilities in sexual evolution. Sexual intercourse is so crucial that, despite the increasing technological sophistication in child-bearing, it is still the dominant and most preferred means of having children today. Aside procreation, sex is equally had for the pleasure ...

BACK-TO-SENDER IS NOT A CHRISTIAN PRAYER

- July 03, 2023

Anyone teaching or praying back-to-sender does not understand Christianity. Evil/satanic forces exist. Human beings employ the services of satanic powers to do harm to other humans. These are absolute facts. Believe it or leave it. Consequently, a Christian should pray against evil forces. Jesus teaches us that in the "Our Father" which is a deliverance prayer because it says, "deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6:9-13 & Luke 11:2-4). Paul also gives us a clear teaching on praying against evil powers (Ephesians 6:10-18). A very wrong but ironically famous way of praying against evil is what has become known as "back to sender (BTS)." It simply means the evil another person sends to harm others should go back and harm the sender (the person who sends it). BTS is famous among Christians and even some clergy pray it and teach and lead others to pray it. All of that is the result of ignorance. Back-to-sender is against the will of God and a contradiction of J...
