When bigotry is wedded to ignorance the inevitable consequence is the product of your baseless diatribe. Again, your lame and dismal description of Catholic Church shows you don't possess the faintest idea of what church teaches. Yes, Catholic Church has a different style of worship which unfortunately irks many pentecostals, and actuates them to make unguarded and unfounded comments about what they barely understand. In the Catholic Church, Jesus is the chief cornerstone and the symbol of highest veneration. Take it from me, we worship Jesus and Jesus alone. You merely joined the bandwagon that traffics ignorance and hatred. A lady you purportedly invested with the claim of "high spiritually" has been in relationship four year which involves sexual intercourse, yet she has "higher spiritual" rating because she worships in a different church, other than Catholic Church. Don't mistake noisemaking and shouting as the only prerequisite for knowing a true Christian and effective means of evangelization. Jesus didn't use these methods during His earthly mission. We have very few orthodox churches today with an unremitting mushrooming of pentecostal churches that claim to possess the ideal way to make heaven, yet we are inundated with societal ills of epic proportions, some of which are perpetrated in churches. If Pentecostalism is the answer as you erroneously claim, salvation gospel which was ordained by Christ and not prosperity gospel, will be their fundamental doctrine. In all this needless fanaticism, I believe that my faith in Christ Jesus, accompany with my good deeds are the only valid visa to secure heaven. Thank you.

Honestly, no church denomination is perfect, and every denomination is basically its own religion at this point. that is why religion itself is a cancer. Jesus Christ is above religion. Today we have churches that the Holy Spirit hasn't even been in since 1998. Just people going through the motions and entertaining or carrying out man-made traditions.

It is also unfortunate that pentecostal church has now been thought to mean prosperity church.
The prosperity church should honestly be another denomination on it's own as much of it was spawned by a subtle greed that grew into an idolization of material success.

The catholic church? It evidently has an issue with idols period. Whoever discounts this is just defending culture/tradition, not scripture. God was firm when he expressed He doesn't want idols made of Him or anything in heaven. You don't know what he looks like, neither do you know what Mary looks like...but you just do all that because that's what your church leaders tell you to do...in stalwart defiance of what God dictated. You haven't gone into the bible for yourself to let the holy spirit teach you, by himself, what is expected of you and things to avoid. For one of many examples... if you guys were truly in truth, marriage for priests would be a choice not a mandate to desist (1 Timothy 4:3). You hear the news everyday what that does to these men...

Whatever floats your boats sha, just know that there is a thin line between doing it right and doing it very very wrong with all these churches....and as the last days come to an end...that line gets ever thinner.

As a christian, your paramount concern is not religion...but your personal relationship with God through Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit will tell you where you need to go when you detach your soul from religionism and yield only to His instruction.
Those who rely on "church crowd", "My pastor/pope says so", etc in these last days will be gravely disappointed when what's coming hits us.
Jesus himself warned of this.
We will have no-one to blame because our pastor cannot answer for us when that day gets real.
So we owe it to ourselves to strip our religious egos/titles/relationships from all this, seek truth SOLO from God's word, and then apply anew as if we knew nothing before.

Ubenedictus:
again be informed.


nothing pagan in Catholicism

I am very much informed.
"Through Mary we succeed"...Why not just make up your minds and call yourselves Marians instead of Christians.

Anyway not gonna involve in a religious fight though. That yields nothing.

kunleweb:
Ladies and calling men too emotional/sensitive, that's why they end up with bears and lions

But why would you want to be some crotch-bleeder's bi+ch though?
They aren't asking for much. Just be a little into yourself, which you would be if you had a sense of self-worth.

khiaa:
There you go showing your ignorance again, you don't know a damn thing about me to make this assumption, you don't know how successful I am. You live in a fantasy world about the U.S, and all of your people who come here are not successful. You don't know the difference between loath and self-esteem, please learn the difference.You need to wake up from your coma.

I understand you are in your feelings now because I used the word "self-esteem".
I didn't mean it as an insult, and frankly there was probably a better word to use, but it would conextualy be the same thing.
This mindset built over the years of instituted marginalization like "I can't do this/that because whitey won't let me". A learned survival response to Trauma (thaaaat's the word I was looking for).

If you are honest with yourself, the black american community still has this stronghold in their minds. It inhibits what y'all attempt to reach for as a minority group. As a people, we all need to have a sense of soft-boycotting white businesses and build our own economics base...but how many black businesses are there today? How many of them come close to providing for ALL the needs of the black community? And if they DID exist, do black people have it in their head that it is almost an obligation to solicit services from that black business in solidarity of the strategy?

When you look at things from a grand lens of logic, it is easy to deduce that BLACK FOLK STILL NEED WHITEY because we have not built the foundation of an economic seperation. These are issues this generation of black people should be focusing on, so that the next generation has the base to dominate economically without the need for whitey to be all up in your midst. Ask yourself how almost every major city in the US has a "chinatown". That is civil segregation in its own way, and it works. When you live in a chinatown, everything around you is a chinese business and you can get everything you need in that chinatown. Black people have the same opportunity in the various hoods, but instead those special breed of black people in those hoods tear it down and devalue it. Do you know how much respect we will generate by cleaning out the hoods OURSELVES?

Also understand that you also know nothing about me.
I do not speak ignorantly on this matter. I grew up in North America just as I did in Nigeria.
Before you start thinking "Who is this monkey from africa talking about what he doesn't know?".
I am speaking about the greater black american community, not you particularly, so please detach your feelings from this conversation.

And Finally, don't think I only shake my head at black americans... On a larger scale, look at Nigeria. White folk left them a long time ago, and it is the same age mate as south Korea in terms of independence (without the constant threat of natural disasters or nuclear strike from a crazy northern neighbor).
Yet STILL Nigeria is a country of black people that do not produce ANYTHING. Not even things they have the raw materials for. They survive instead by importing everything they need from whites/asians/etc. Truly the laughing stock of the trade world. And IF AT ALL Nigerians produced anything they themselves look at it has "aba-made" meaning "fake" or "low-quality". Every Nigerian is brand-name conscious and doesn't want to wear or buy anything that wasn't made by a white man. This mentallity of not respecting our own and ourselves (I admit, sometimes for good reason) leads to what we see every where around the world concerning black people....causing me to sometimes ask the question "ARE WE CURSED?".

Think and ponder on these things I have told you.

That's not re-assuring.

I would also prefer a president who I can actually hear when he talks.
I get ashamed whenever Buhari has to represent anything globally.

khiaa:
All this is easy to say for a person who has been blessed to not have the scum in your existence. You don't know how blessed oy are.

Really?
Well let me ask you this...

Have you ever stopped to think WHY nigerians and others break their heads everyday TRYING to get green cards and that American blue passport?
CLEARLY, there is an element of your environment that you are overlooking...something others are dying for...regardless of its presence of white scum. Ever asked WHY these black-assed individuals are rushing and sacrificing to come to where these evil white scum are?

Think on that, and stop looking for reasons NOT to take action.
It goes back to the crux of my earlier statement.

The presence of white scum never stopped this group of people from pursuing the change in their lives they wanted to see...they have black skin just like you so that is clearly not the end-all and be-all.
Thing is, You have allowed the evil whites get into your head to the point of allowing their actions to psychologically handicap you. There is now a stronghold of low self-esteem. Wake up from it!
You simply need to take responsibility of what must be done...and do it!

The more you focus on whatever causes you this low self-esteem, the bigger it becomes.
The more you focus on your strategy, the more the positive result of that becomes bigger.

It's basically like the gym. Do you focus on the pain in your muscles and rely on "mood" as to whether or not you do it? Or do you doggedly focus on the laid out strategy to achieve the planned results? Without the latter, change is surely impossible.

The black man's only major issue is this..."My people perish without vision".
If more of us did, we would be somewhere else right now as a race. WE are our issue. Understand this.

Damned goat fuckers up north have created an abomination.
I doubt this is the only/first abomination created by their goat-based amorous activities.

Why do you people get into marriage-focused relationships that you have no intentions of finalizing properly?

Catholicism is a religion.
Pentecostalism is too, but it is less a typical religion like Catholicism, which relies on too many peganistic traditions that put Christ on the sideline.

Catholicism is a dangerous thing to be into in these last days.
Come out of it.

HRHQueenPhil:
i have d same stance for catholic church, dat lady is a real christian..if u dont stand for something, u fall for anything.do u know i went to mulumba and david cath. church on invite and the moderator was reminding dem of a youth thing dey are having saying comedians and whiz kid is coming..dey shld buy tickets.. whiz kid in church..and chanting THRU mary our mother, we succeed..i agree with ur future wife, i hope u will wake up

@bolded. Can you imagine? Case in point...

aragon4realz:
I met this girl 4years back and one thing led to another and we started a relationship,things has been pretty well and we love each other very much,we have our ups and down but we makeup for it.I love her so much I could do anything for her and she love me too in her own special kind of way.
the problem now is that am planning on proposing to her in a couple of weeks,I even stylishly measured her ring size and I have been visiting some jewelry stores to pick the perfect ring for her and also planning some surprise engagement party/get together for her but the thing is that she hates my church (catholic),she is Anglican by birth but she attends one of the pentecostal churches which I don't want to mention,
we have been talking about this church of a thing for the past 3months now and she has sworn never to get married in the Catholic Church and I can't leave my church because of this I even stopped talking or texting her for some couple of days now but today she texted me saying that "I should do this one thing for her by leaving my church" and even said it to my face that I should not propose to her when the time comes cos she will say no because of this.
am just confused,what shall I do,I need help

The pope will soon be revealed as the false prophet of revelations...

I guess we'll just have to accept that your bumbum has been grabbed.
Life must go on.

khiaa:
Yes, blacks sold other blacks, but the whites are just as guilty for buying them, yet you give the whites a pass. You have no idea how whites treat blacks in America, I'm talking about the past as well as the present. Instead of demonizing your soul by defending whites you should be trying to help stop the enslavement of your people in Lybia because it's still going on. You are an embarrassment, all this for that white boy who didn't even defend himself because he knows what I wrote was the truth yet you coons continue to come to his rescue.

]

My dear, I'm not giving evil white scum a pass. Patiently read this to get me.

I'm saying:
- it's cliche to keep putting the 100% blame on them alone. There has to be a voice in the black community that speaks against our own foolishness in the matter. This creates balance.
- This balance of perspective is needed to move forward. You cannot move forward purely on hate (by evidence of furiously attacking any white person you see...that reveals a thuggish lack of strategy). The beginning of healing the black community starts with FIRST owning our shit and purging our community of it.
- Fixing our community will yield the RESPECT needed to change the status quo. The ROOT difference between us and other minority groups is not necessarily racism, but that we are NOT YET RESPECTED. And we keep making brainless decisions to affirm this.
- The status quo will NOT change...by bitching, but by carrying out deliberate strategic actions to build our own parcel.

For starters if y'all hate how these other races disrespect you, for heavens sake, WHY do you still solicit their services and businesses?! Why not, as a community, refuse to spend your money in nothing that isn't a black owned business? That's what asians do, because they understand that these "respect-building projects" start from keeping their money/bringing more money into, their people's economic loop. The black man is still trying to buy some damn Nike's

As a people, globally, we consume everything but produce nothing/very little to sell.

YOU guys are the ones who keep giving your money to your oppressors. The path to the change you seek starts from WITHIN y'all. Your actions. And that's just ONE example. Start with that, and when your community is ready, I will give you the next plan.

If we are not ready for action, we must STOP BITCHING! It makes us look even more weaker.
Weakness is not respected. Strategic resolute action is.

But you must first start by getting your people in tune with the vision.
When you try to teach them the need for this shared purpose, THAT IS WHEN you will soon and quickly realize that the black man is his own curse.
They will not allow themselves to get sense!


At the tail end of everything, also understand that not all white people are evil. You will need allies in fixing and rebuilding your community. Don't push them away by your [much deserved but highly detrimental] rabid hate of all white people. (Remember...Balance)

Later when Trump calls the country a shithole they will be vexing.

While the pussy is not all it's about...it is definitely an easy 65%+.

Sagamite:
Yeah, girl.

And such is really effortless for me.

My logical compass is unmatched in this world and makes me a pure genius.

And this is me making an understatement and putting it in the most humble way I can.

Saga Bro!
Seee self-congrats. You're full of it

You and Trump are distant cousins

Mercycity:
This should be adopted to protect Nigeria women

Thunder fire your fingers there!

It's quite simple really.

ANY extended family member (in-law or otherwise) that lacks respect for my family unit, EASILY gets banned from my house until further notice.
Even if my wife begs me to allow them back, I won't as it has little to do with her.
On principle, I take such things as a disrespect to me....and I'm not interested in encouraging/tolerating such behavior.

I will be sure to instruct him WHY he is being banned so he learns how to respect himself in other peoples homes in the future, in case his parents never taught him.
"Love you bro, but You will NOT disrespect my family unit. Here is some T-fare. Now please leave."

No hard feelings. No malice. We can see in parties and other extended family events.

stasiaannie:
Uncle,
if you are broke dont do loud wedding , do it little but if you have the money to spend then you can call the whole villagers too celebrate with you ,
by the way are you not enjoying the value for your money.
i felt you went there and showed yourself that's why u were billed.

How brainwashed can a person be to think that being sold is a good hing?..

CharleyBright:
Aunty Afia, yes of course i got very good value for my money.
But let me quickly conclude that you never cross that bridge ... meaning you are yet to be married to have your fiance given such long list of utterly crazy bills for a traditional marriage. WAIT TILL WHEN THEY HAND U SUCH LIST, YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR MINDSET.
And mind you, it doesnt end in Traditional marriage o. When the girls father or mother dies, they will bring another list again..

I was given another long list for burial of my father inlaw last year.
I called and told them am not doing another Traditional marriage so i wont accept such list. I will only give what i feel like to assist the burial, so the family shouldnt shift the burial burden on me. it is me that will bury my father and non of them will contribute a dime to it.
You never see how these people exploit son inlaws.

And this is the problem I have with marrying from these cultures.
The foolishness only just BEGINS with marriage. It extends all the way to various burials, among other life events.
Everything must be show-offy and expensively over-done.

In the US, it only costs about $200 total to do a burial. It is a solemn event, not something to be eating /drinking/stuffing your face over....at one person's expense!

Why would any right-thinking person subject themselves and their family to the bondage of something as pointless as a greedy tradition?

They look like professional fasters

wife ofcourse

- Don't be from any over-doing tribe that requires long expensive trips to your village before you are married. No time for all that logistics (Mainstream igbos and similar tribes disqualified)

- Don't plan on being a housewife (...unless I change my mind in the future and agree that you can).

- Have [the genetics for] thick thighs and a cute face.

- Be christian

After all this is settled, other relational things can then be factored in.

merahki:
The basis for your knowledge and truth is a you tube video?
I rest my case, and stick to my original assessment of you
Until you get real knowledge, it's, " ka o mesia"

Don't get it twisted.
Read my post prior to the video.
You're trying to tell me what was written in a book.
I told you what happened for real (using my lineage as an example). We (blacks) sold ourselves. We were doing it before the white man came.

The video simply buttresses the point I was making (at least the first part of it).
Despicable as those white men were, The question isn't "why did the white man buy...", but "Why did we sell..."?

It's left to you to evolve your way of thinking (by owning up to it as a starting point to becoming a better people) or remain in the pit of blaming everyone but yourself for where things are...giving away the power to fuel the change...because some book tells you that you should, regardless of facts.

For anyone who still have doubtsabout what I'm talking about, watch this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfIcDEI1jWU

@merahki Anybody can write a book to further pointless bias and make money from book sales.
Seek out REAL truth, devoid of agendas. That is where our evolution starts.

merahki:
Your mind is trapped...possibly forever.
I refuse to give up on you. Read that book. Read other books. Read. Get an education. Become knowledgeable...no emotions here, let me appeal to the cold unfeeling recess of your brain then?
Cheers

Blacks WERE and ARE the ones selling each other.
That is a historic and present-day fact devoid of emotionalism.

I know this because I linked my lineage back to some chief who took other blacks captive and sold them. Made a small empire out of it actually.
My family changed it's last name and disassociated from any material inheritances because of it, choosing to rather build our own legacy from the ground up. thankfully God has been faithful.

I bet you if more people in africa did the research (Nigeria especially, as this is where the word "niggers" came from due to proximity to the river) , they might find that their ancestors involved themselves in a bit of slave catching/trading as well to get some loot.
Back then tribes sold off their prisoners or those they felt "less of" to the white man e.g The igbos and their Osu caste system generated a lot of loot towards slavery.

This is not a fact anybody who has truly looked at history (instead of going by emotions) should still be questioning today.

For present-day sales...Buhari just sold Nigeria to China under the playful banner of neo-colonialism.

I am sure your book will have a lot of stuff about how the whites forced our hand etc, but at the end of the day....WE LET THEM. And we GAINED from it. And we have NOT YET EVOLVED past it.

No amount of revolution/intervention can happen unless we admit these things about ourselves.
Our leaders are exactly who we are.
They still sell the citizens JUST so they can keep more money. Ask the average nigerian and they will tell you if they went into politics, they would steal too. The white man isn't doing this, it's us.

Leave white man and focus on our flaws. The white man left us several decades ago. It's just us now STILL fucking up.

merahki:
Shame on you darling
Your post reeks of crass ignorance and self- hate

Blacks WERE and ARE the ones selling each other.
That is a historic fact devoid of emotionalism.

Margfin:
I didn't want to answer to that question because people was much there but she insisted that i must give her an answer.

That question is the equivalent of you asking a woman what her pussy smells like on the first date...it's crass and simply none of her business.
It is a socially akward, but oft tolerated question by guys because a lot of naija guys don't really value themselves or their time.

She can insist on staring at your ass as you call for the check and walk away as cool as you want to be.
Please don't waste valuable time (and other resources) on gold diggers, my brother.

Margfin:
you are right bro, recently I met a lady at about 28years old, I got to know her through her elder sister hubby because they felt this lady was good and most good guys don't come near her dueling, to be sincere this lady is beautiful black beauty but very proud. We went on a date on 24/06/2018. The first question she asked me was that ? How old am I (33yrs), am I a graduate(yes), how long have you started your career job (1&half year). am I working (yes), where and how much is my salary(around Mushin salary 40k) and am I living in a flat or face me and slap you(not flat)... Next thing she said was that I can't date you........ After that day I called her sister and the husband that..... The very first day you introduced me to this lady I told you this lady is not good lady bcox she's your sister and she always cry to you whenever she had a heartbroken doesn't mean that she's good girl........ She called me on 9/9/2018 that I should send her 600 recharge card which I declined however I gave her 15,000k and other gift just to consider me but she only collected those gift and down me down....

What's her business with your salary?
Out where I am that kind of question is cause for immediately calling for the check (if at a diner) and leaving her dumb ass at the table.
No time for karishika.

Millenniumlady:
It was a lyrics from one of my favourite female US rapper "CASH DOLL" song is tittle "Check" you can go listen to it

Stop being full of shite.
The fact that you chose that bit of the lyrics to represent on your profile says a lot about you.

I wouldn't go through the work of putting any lyrics like "..Keep gang-banging...blah blah" on my profile unless I was some weak-minded fellow with wanna-be thug tendencies.

Whichever way you try to spin it, You agree with it (aka keep hoeing, etc), you aspire to it. It resonates with you somehow, and so you have decided to let that be your calling card, as the wanna-be you are.
Gentlemen sense these things and keep on moving.
Who has time for one yeye karishika that cannot differentiate between honorable and dishonorable self-presentation, or cannot choose sensibly between good and bad?

Now you know. Fix your brain.

Now pay me.

One of the reasons why we dey go gym na to avoid all this kain unneccessary oppression.
I be monster too so me and the guy go talk, monster to monster

The talk wouldn't need to be violent tho.

OLAJADON:
if she really doesn't want us to know, then she shouldn't be posting his pictures online while using emoji to covering his face, it non of our businesses. all I see is she is confused by either wanting to show us his identity i.e posting pictures of him online then hide his identity so as he won't get snatched aways from her, if she is truly a feminist as she preaches then a man staying or leaving shouldn't be a deal at all.
I hope you get my point.

Nah. She's just teasing her fans.
Feminism doesn't mean she "doesn't care about men" or what men want (e.g privacy).
Y'all over in naija should give our naija sisters a break .

OLAJADON:
why is protecting his identity necessary, if she truly doesn't care about a man. she is just as confused as her fellow clan.

Why do you feel people should be going around putting all their personal stuff out on social media?
Her caring or not caring about a man has nothing to do with that.
