I weep for Africs

see how people are willingly ditching their customs for Jewishown in the name of taking up christianity

even the whites who brought that religion are moving past it, looking for more realistic ways of developing themselves

we Africans with
slavish mentalities are still hugging it probably till the next wave of colonialization

be firm in your African traditions biko

leave jews to do things jews do

our forefathers told us that the Gods commanded them to pay brideprice this is the same thing the jews said but with different trappings

why should we then obey theirs and forsake ours

excuse me tradition is greedy, quick question is it the bible that when it came to money human name became first before God. you are a slave a mental slave, please free your mind. white man who gave you bible doesn't follow it. you stupidly who he gave the bible to then enslaved you till today he is still enslave you

wrongnumber:


The op is clear.

I wonder why many of you are fuming up for nothing.

He simply wrote that we should follow traditions and go with the flow of the fun fair but also made it glaringly clear that people should stop using the Bible or Quran as excuse for their greedy tradition but many of you don't ever read and assimilate but just look at a post in a glance and start commenting.

When it comes to placing God's rules and tradition side by side we are compelled to choose that of GOD so i wonder why this subject has turned many people here to pagans clamoring for tradition as if that supersede GOD's ordinances.SMH

i guess we should as well start worshiping Sango,Ogun Obatala and the rest.

It is so laughable that we left the issue on ground to start attacking the Bible.

When it comes to tradition versus God's words,we should never ever choose tradition and no Muslim will dare dump The prophet's injunction fore anything else but when it comes to the bible we se many people writing blasphemous words even the ladies who i believe should be more inclined to God's word's abeg make i stop here. As far as im concerned im with the Op on this issue.

The bolded is laughable,FYI it was a direct commandment from GOD to the Jews who are a representation of anyone who claims to follow GOD's ordinances so enough of these ignorant statement of jew or no jew. the bible says there is neither jew or jentiles.So appalling that you dare compare what the gods of your forefather said to what the creator of your forefathers said.

and how did God relay this commandment to the jews? through prophets i guess.. but we also had prophets of our own didnt we? are you now say for hundreds of years our prophets were liars while those of the jews were the ones being true? Slave

OP were you denied a babe because of huge bride price?
I feel your pain. Pele!
Like the line,May the peace of God be of prophet Mohamed.

Nice post !

No woman should be married for free but the groom should bring what he and his family dim fit for the lady so don't get it twisted.

This is just how you(man) bluntly disobey God' commandments.... And not even show any remorse.


You(man) want 2 amend God's instructions...abi?

Bride prices are outdated. Why would I pay money for A Used Cargo that could also be a potential Gold-Digga

Geezus!!, nice comment bro

I believe that only poor parents value pride price so much and the wealthy ones don't see it as anything

for those of u ladies out there, no sex b4 marriage no bride price.
And if i discovered u aint a virgin, then u gonna pay me 4 the precious resources wasted in the presence of ur wide hole.
*goes back to sleep*

If you are saying all this so that people should stop paying bride price then u gotta be dreaming

this is one of the reasons I'm single even at 30th. I wish this rules could be scrapped but for greediness that has taken deep root in Nigeria, the single guys are in trouble. God pls help us.

You can't interpret sacred book with common sense, who authorized you. Hadith is to be use as a guidance. I read your first prove then I stopped, you said if anyone defile a virgin he must pay the bride price even if the parent object to the marriage. Before God, a girl is deemed to be married before being defile and every woman was once a virgin so every girl is expected to be married as a virgin. Stop judging from today's world where Tonto dike, Jennifer, Maheeda, Genevieve are all single and happy with fornication. A world where gay and lesbian have say. It's psychology use can't define

I HOPE THE IGBO PARENTS GET A HOLD OF THIS ARTICLE...

The aim of religion is not to uproot us from our culture Mr. The aim of Christianity as far as I'm concerned is to have everlasting life amongst other things. Now, does paying bride price hinder that?

Like I said, those are laws for the jews and not Christians at large.

I do not subscribe to the idea of bride price as well. Slaves are bought not wives. But that's the tradition of the land you're in or intend to marry from. It can be changed but not by hiding behind Christianity. Christianity does not prohibit paying of bride price is all I'm saying.

nawao

Adamsdelrio:
Whaooooo! Thank God my prospective inlaws are Christians. I'm gonna present these facts to them so that I can marry their daughter for free...

na so u like free things. u no try

I want to know if bride price are paid in the US, UK, Canada and co. Please I need answer ooo!!!

christianity is a useless hypocrytical contradictory religion that can be manipulated to meet personal ends.

@Op, hv u paid ur bride price? Stop blabing go and pay


consult a translated Qur'an to find out what it says and you'd be ashamed of ur earlier stmt

SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

YES WE SHOULD WORSHIP SANGO, OBATALA AND OTHER ORISHA! YOU GOT PROBLEM B.ITCH!

THIS NIGERIA IS OUR LAND
WE WERE HERE BEFORE YOUR ST.UPID FOREIGN CULTS CAME IN![/size]

That is why it is good to have a list of 5 ladies who have agreed to marry you. When you go to family A and they funk up, you turn your car and go to family B, the same day and pay the damn bride rice or beans. Or get the cheapest list. Cost cutting measure.

What funking Nonsense!

Toks2008:


Then definitely the ten commandments are only for the jews.

Tithing are only for the jews.

Jesus died only for the jews

All the instructions God gave us in the bible are only for the jews.

When it comes to facing reality some of us become partisan and shy away from the truth.

Just born the bible and quran and become a pagan then.

Now I want to ask you who made all those things you wrote above the ultimate to man, are people who don't practice that not living and doing well. What conviction do you have that made you believe what those westernize Jewish believes is the ultimate. No man has seen God don't be deceived, so I advice you live your life naturally the way he created you nd be of no stumbling block to your fellow man and live life the fullest. All these believes we hold in a high esteem are what the uncivilized nd uneducated man in past times thought was the basics in life passed on to us the highly civilized and sophisticated.

In as much as I don't support those long list given by parents, I still think you argument did not represent very well.

Those Bible verses quoted did not explain your stand properly. What did the Bible say we should do before we get married whether to a Virgin or Not?

I think what that place meant is that after defiling a virgin you can still mend your ways by making her your wife.

Where was it stated in the Bible that bride price is meant for only virgins including all the verses u quoted.

Toks2008:


Apparently Islam and christianity are delusions right?

Permit me to say they are because all their principles are all based on assumptions .

And the bride family would expect me to pay bride price on top a refurbished love peddler?

I want all the "My pastor said" to come on and argue these facts and i want the pastors and Bishops who preach contrary to come in and educate me more maybe there is something im missing.

Those people wey dey preach for their pocket. Quoting off point in many cases. I just laugh at them from my sit most times.

By the time I come to church and they start flogging prosperity gospel and giving what I don't have, nah ojoro things be Dat.
