umm Indians don't eat meat.

the 2nd ones a bit creepy yes.

the 3rd ones fine. there something wrong with your head. in the past we used to send letters/ and btw dont you use paper in school. you are an id.iot.

Well, sure, there are lots of pedos around but will we now restrict our kindness to kids we're not familiar with because we're scared of being labelled paedophiles?

See why the world is such a bad place; when people are afraid of being good because they don't want to be labelled bad. Abeg, if anything is good, it is good and worth doing. So what if the guy really isn't a pedo?

Yeah we should be more loving and caring than we are doing. This is a faceless forum and we can still impact the people we meet here positively. I don't know whether I am the only one that detests the way people mock others in this forum. It is very terrible. Troubled people bring problem here in the forum and before the thread reaches page 4, the person is already being mocked. Dare share or mention in your posts stuffs you encountered while growing up like if you are from a broken home and mentions it in the forum, you will get mocked with it etc.
These Mgbeke/unrefined attitudes being exhibited are terrible. There is a nairaland woman that has been following me and my posts like a crazy stalker and giving attitudes like she has sworn to be an angry angel grin following me about looking for something to say with the intention to make me feel bad or look bad to others and make her heart feel happy. The only thing she has against me is that I kick against how she mocks people in the forum and uses the mockery of depressed people to entertain her NL friends.

Refined people are one another's keeper in online forum, loving, encouraging, guiding not bringing down and depressing others. We are doing good on the encouraging, helping and loving part but there are still plenty threads with insults, quarrel, abuse. Abeg make una stop the quarrelling, mockery,insults and bullying. Is it not good that we make others happy by the little interaction we have online with them instead of adding salt to the injury of the stress/problems they encounter in real lives? Some of us are reading and looking at these sweet pictures and after going "a-w-w-w-w, I am so touched", they will still get into threads and begin to mock, insult and hurt others.

what you see here is selfless love , not expressing love and kindness with that expectation that it will be returned or paid back , thats what makes even more amazing when you do something for someone without expecting payback.

my Muslim neighbor and his family is exactly like the one in that letter , i love them to bits, without them i would have really believed that ALL Muslims are indeed demons but hats off to Mr and Mrs Ali, they are simply out of this world

And based on the logic behind your reasoning, Jesus should had preached sermon to the traders to nurture them instead of throwing away their goods and driving them away.
Then you got me wrong! I am not saying that we should pamper sin in the Church, Jesus did what He did because He knew those people know what there were doing, from the scripture it was written and they are doing the contrary. And moreover, these people had the support of the Pharisees who are the teachers of the law, indirectly, the massage is not for the traders but for the people supporting the trading activities in the House God. You can see from the passage that they were the people that came to respond to the action of Jesus.

50calibre: Very touching pictures, except for the first one. Church goers pledging support for homosexuality is a sign that God has forsaken them.

No offense, but your take on the picture is wrong! Who told you these Christians were pledging support for homosexuality?! Or is it so hard for you to understand the spirit of outreach that would make them want to draw near to such people wasting away in such perversion? These Christians weren't supporting the sin; rather they were apologising to these people for the continual self-righteousness and aloofness of church people who have lost their humility and love for their fellow man, and who easily dismiss people who Jesus also died for. Jesus associated with tax-collectors and other sinners, including the sexually immoral, even wining and dining with them - would you dare go as far to say that He was one of them, or that he approved of their lifestyles? He did say it wasthe sick who needed a doctor, & he came for the sinners, not those who think they're better than anyone else - that's why He & the holier-than-thou Pharisees hardly got along. We need to be made to understand as Christians: as much as we frown on sin, we must not frown on sinners - they need to know that they'r always welcome to the One who can set them free. All such talk about hating homosexuals is evidence of false morality and self-righteousness, which to God is just as bad - if not even worse - than homosexuality.

But the idea of putting homosexuals in leading positions in the church should be discouraged.

[b]They do..

Sadly we don't always catch these moments on a Kodak.

Here is my experience: I was in JSS1, my folks always came to pick me after school. Now they travelled and couldn't return in time due to traffic. I had no money, a fair idea of how to get home via public transport. Now I had been hanging around the schools gate since 2pm. I stayed there till 6pm when evening roadside traders started setting up shop. I was still there by 8pm in the evening, just sitting there clutching my bag when this old woman who was selling oranges by the road called me and ask why I was still there. I said I was waiting on my folks. She asked if I knew how to get home by transport, I said yes. She then asked how much, I told her 10Naira. She gave me 10 Naira and 3 oranges and escorted me to the park where I boarded the bus. Now! On the bus, I realised that because it was late (I think it was about 9pm by now) the fares had doubled. Now a fare of 5 Naira was now 10. I still needed 5 Naira to complete my journeys second leg. So I leaned to the left and pleaded with the guy sitting there to please give me 5 Naira because I was stranded. The guy didn't even acknowledge my presence. We approached his stop and when he alighted, he paid for my fare and his. I didn't even get the chance to say thanks. When I stopped at the first junction, before I could cross the road, I saw my folks battling traffic and trying to get to me in school.

I told my folks the story and the next day my parents drove to my school gate in the evening to thank the orange seller but we never found her.[/b]

naijathings: These are the kind of things that happen when the LOVE in your HEART is ALIVE.
Some people have the ZOMBIE type of LOVE.. that is the kind of love that is dead but still existing and only moves toward material gain the way ZOMBIES move toward blood.


If your love is true and Alive and your HEART really beats with that love, you will understand why a person will take of his shoes for another to have comfort. why a person will jump into water to save a loved pet when he hears the cry of the owner. why a General will say "PLEASE, do not fight".. why can a protester who came out from his house (probably angry) find space in his/her heart to bake a cake for his enemy.

We have been blinded by money and religion.... we forgot LOVE. we only love those that pay us, favour us, and those that go to the same church with us.. it is not even about christian/muslim anymore.. WE stand back and judge each other by how long our hair is and how much the handbag cost, who wears gucci and who uses a gold buggati, who had first class in school, who can quote the whole Bible/Quran... people will almost stone u to death if u say u do not believe in GOD.. it is sad.

I was watching the 9/11 documentary on youtube.. the white house would have been crushed by the fourth plane, but the passengers fought with their lives to divert the plane from crashing into the WHITE HOUSE... to save the government despite the way they complain everyday about the same government.. that is LOVE.

when was the last time you hugged your friend?
can you forgive your enemy and bake a cake for them?
when was the last time you stood up for an elderly person to sit down?
some people here will not even talk to you if you are not a graduate or a christian or born again.

i am not gay, i prefer women, i love them for everything they are whether good or bad... but i do not see the reason Y we call ourselves christians and push a gay person out to stone them with our words and cold behaviour.. homo is a sin just like forging documents, telling lies, looking lustfully, sex b4 marriage, and many other sin which WE ALL commit on a daily basis.. and no one stones us for them. Yet we go back to God in the morning and pray... and he forgives.

Happy sunday NLders.
@post.John 3:16-for God so loves the world that he gave his only begotten son,that whosover believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Morale:a blameless man was killed for the world not to be afflicted by the evis of darkness.that alone should restore the faith of mankind in humanity.but we still can't express that type of love among ourselves.
Christians still treat others with scorn cause they don't share in their faith.
If you can't be human enough to treat everyone with love and respect,u are simply telling God u don't believe in his son whom has saved u from eternal destruction,meaning you don't have faith in humanity cause you believe God isn't human.yet he expresses love above humanity.
Stop dehumanizing others no matter your distaste for them.

These pictures are very touching. It shows that some people still have an atom of agape love and compassion left in them. The way our world is going, I initially thought it wise to give up on humanity because of all the wickedness I have seen and still see around me including within the family. However, these pictures provide a glimpse of hope that all is not lost as far as the human race is concerned. Love conquers all. May the good Lord Jesus help us all. Amen.

.....And whose fault is it that thousands of kids die everyday in Africa from hunger? Did anyone force poor Africans to keep reproducing more children than they can adequately take care of? I don't even know where the very poor Africans even find the strength to have sex to reproduce these hungry kids. After all, kids don't fall from the sky.

When you try to educate the average African on the dangers of lack of family planning, they are quick to tell you that kids are blessings from God and their African beliefs and culture along with their respective religions do not believe in birth control. So what else is one to do? Must the world constantly come to Africa's rescue? Can't we Africans help ourselves by chasing away those leaders that are not performing but rather looting our treasuries dry? Must we always wait for the whites/the West to deliver us from ourselves?

Your state of delusion has led you to jump on a different topic altogether. What does reproduction have to with what he said? Moreover, how you mentioned about an "average African", how many of those have you helped or try to educate? Well, I think you're the one that need the education. How does saving a goat or cow amount to humanity, while many innocent kids are dying in thousands in the hand of your so-beloved masters in Middle Easts.
