Usman...
Ur religion of peace no dey enough for you?? Why you dey take paracetamol for another man headache....??

So why are those who are not tithing among the richest on earth? Elon Musk.

Thitjomg is sacrificial giving...if you think the likes of elon musk and bills gate doesnt do sacrificial giving...u must must be very naive....

The law of give and receive isnt a just a biblical or spiritual principle...it's a universe law... U inveat into the universe, the universe finds a way of repaying you..

My question is strictly for christians who believes in paying of tithes.

Do you finish up your debt first or you pay your tithes and keep looking for another way to pay the debts. What's the guidelines for payment of tithes when one is servicing a loan.

U can’t tithe what you don’t have....
Don’t let any pastor guilt trip you....some will even say u must pay tithe of your whole entitlement before they remove pension and tax....
God doesn’t need our money...all he loves is a cheerful giver....you can only tithe your worth

If you have loans or debts of 50k per month and your salary is 200k...u are not worth 200k....you are worth 150k....tithe 15k...and do it cheerfully .
Once your are not happy doing it...don’t pay..it’s a waste of money....spend all your money...God no vex becos you no bring money come church..like I said, God no need your money..

..the only thing you might miss is the blessing that comes with sacrificial giving which is what tithing is...it doesn’t mean God willvex and make you suffer for not giving him money.... trust me, he’s not that petty..

Sirsesan:
Religion lives with two OBIOUS but NECESSARY contradictions for her existence.
OBVIOUS:
If God already knows everything from start to finish, it mean, he has the beginning to the end like a video clip before him. So whatever seems to change, he already knows they will change. Which means, we are a robot with consciousness; therefore, our FREEWILL is an illusion because it is predetermined already. You are really not making those choices that look apparent you're making. Which mean, there is no YOU really. All actions are involuntary. Your body chemicals and hormones has been programmed to take those actions to the exact degree you get angry, love, laugh …. Of course it's possible because God should be able to make more classic robot that the ones you want to use as a basis for your argument for FREE WILL.
NECESSARY:
Religion has no choice but to claim God knows everything because if he doesn't, we need not worry about him because he's just like us. Limited knowledge. Remember, God should only punish us if he doesn't know everything from start to finish. You can't punish someone you already know will rape a woman on June 23, 2023 by 10:31 pm no matter how he tries not to, because that's his destiny. If this person has a choice, then God doesn't know everything which is fine with me because it's possible he doesn't.
In order for God to punish us, it must mean that we have FREE WILL, because if we don't, it will be evil to punish a robot. And we shouldn't have FREE WILL since he knows all the outcomes already). But religion says we still have free will even when God knows all the outcomes.
Now religion has to take these two contradictory position simultaneously because she has no choice.
What is your take on this.

I think you lean towards fallacy a bit...
Just becos God knows what will happen doesn’t make our freewill an illusion, neither does it make us a robot.... look at this way..

A one year old is crawling towards fire... as an adult.. u know the end of that course is destruction...but that’s not the only end...the child can stop, turn back, someone can pick the child up etc..but just becos u can predict that the child might die doesn’t automatically means that’s what will happen...

Like the theory of multiverse....humans don’t have one outcome becos we have freewill to make numerous choices which can lead to different outcomes

....for example...a person can decide to commit suicide today and not become anything...and can also become a doctor and save lives in the medical field....

u think a drug addict was programmed by God to die of drugs when he could have become something greater?? He made a choice that aligned with many other choices made by others that led to his end

Someone designed cocaine...
Another person decided to get high
Someone overdosed...someone died before their time..

My theory is this, God doesn’t technically know your final outcome as if you were programmed to make one decision and one decision only... or no mater what...

On the contrary and even better, I feel What God knows is all the possible outcomes there is, leaving us with all the power to make a choice and turn out well...

Why did I say so... why will God Ask you to repent? if he already knows your end is hell or destruction or whatever, why ask for your repentance if you don’t have a say or free will??

Bible recorded concerning Nineveh....If you’ve read the story of the book of Jonah...the prophecy was that the city would be destroyed....butthey changed their outcome...... we don’t have one outcome...they are numerous....your final outcome is in your hands

30k ?? 3 odds..bad guy...na fixed match info abi??

U don try to harass them tru a lawyer.??Betting is shaa legal in Nigeria...

Hope u have screen shots of your winning...??as u no get access to your account again...how u go even explain say you win..

That’s why hard copy ticket make sense die..

Quest7777:
Over the years, I have been consistently paying about 5% of my income as Tithe. Previously I struggled to pay 10% because of so many financial commitments I had.

Few months ago I heard a sermon that anything less than 10% is Offering & not Tithing. To make matters worse, I heard another sermon that all non-tithe payers shall go to hell fire.

Recently, I heard a sermon that payment of Tithe is not one if the prerequisites for heaven. According to the pastor, his ministry preaches giving generously instead of Tithing.

I kind of agree with the last preacher because:
1. If I am generous enough to be paying 20%, that also means I am not paying Tithe but Offerings.

2. Christ would have paid so much attention to Tithe if it was one of the prerequisites for Heaven.

3. Lastly, I recently incurred a medical bill of over half a million. How do you factor this in paying Tithe.

Pls what's your take on this? Only Christian opinions & answers.

If u are struggling.... don’t pay..
Last last, God no need your money...
So if u are not doing it from your heart and cheerfully... u are not doing it at all..

How did we get here....
Where facts are ignored...
Lies become truth...
Where minority data suddenly becomes the significant factor..

Skidooo:
advanceDNA. Thanks bro.
But what normally caused it sir?

Science doesn’t knows the exact reason...there are a number of suggestions though...one thing is certain, it’s fat that’s inside...
It’s probably the body’s response to pushing out something unwanted.....

Just look at as a large pimple and ignore it..
Though it can be embarrassing...so if your bro want to cut it out...it’s not a bad idea...na local surgery wey no go pass 1hour..

She’s a clout chaser...there are hospitals running sperm bank services.... she should go there....

Though she will have to pay more...since artificial insemination is already over 1 million.

And if this is a move to cut cost...she’s a thief..
1 million for all that spec and natural insemination is too small

Lipoma....it doesn’t hurt

Mostly doesn’t get bigger ...but some could enlarge in some cases

Some dey get am for forehead....
You bro is lucky it’s at the back...

If your brother no want am..surgery is the only option u have.....

by Chief Tola Adeniyi, a former MD of Daily Times.

Society must rethink this issue of pretentious monogamy vis-à-vis polygamy so that in the not-too-distant future we do not end up with millions of unmarried women whose life style would be worse than prostitutes’ and millions of children whose fathers would be nowhere to be found.

The article is designed to expose the hypocrisy and pain associated with embracing false notions which are really not observed by any culture in the world, and to advise those who erroneously sentence themselves to a life of sadness and emptiness because they were deceived to believe that there is some utopia somewhere called monogamy.

I am very much aware that this article will generate a lot of controversy most especially from those who live holier-than-thou life and have continued to deceive the world that they are upholders of a doctrine that is not supported by true and enlightened interpretation of any religious doctrine.

My Greek, Italian, Russian, British, American and other Caucasians routinely visit their other wives [called by other names] with whom they have children. But back in the homes shared with the one carrying the ring, they are monogamists!
If God had wanted humanity to be monogamous He would not have made the pigeon the only monogamous creature. The cultures that practice polygamy had always known that at any given time, the number of available marriageable women far out number available men plus the fact that an 80-year-old man, if he has money, is still very much in the market whereas a 60-year-old woman may not be that lucky. The biological limitation to a woman’s productive age is also a factor. Why should a woman therefore remain on the shelf till age 45 when she could jolly well get married as second or fourth wife to a man *who can afford to share life’s responsibilities with her*? Why should a woman leave a man with whom she is No 1, simply because he took a second wife and end up being numberless in the hands of several men with whom she naturally shares bed just because of some doctrine she hardly understands?

All the women who should go and marry but are saying they do not want to share their man with another woman in a polygamous setting, are sharing current boyfriends with several other women. Where is the logic?

The argument that children in a polygamous house are always at each other’s throat does not hold water. Many siblings of monogamous families are sometimes known to have had worse and irresolvable or irreconcilable squabbles with dirty bitterness over inheritance or even other matters than children from different mothers.

The agony suffered by both men and women in the hand of unnatural laws and doctrines is too stifling for comfort. In 2002, five hundred and two Reverend mothers were reported to have died while procuring abortion in Rome (alone). Nigerian Tribune wrote an editorial on the unfortunate incident. And stories of Reverend fathers having children and sodomising young men in their care are legion! Why the hypocrisy? Why should the world continue to live the life of Ostrich?

A well known Nigerian journalist hide his other wives from his wife because his religion would not permit of it and his wife, living in monogamy should not hear of it. At his funeral service programmes, 9 wives surfaced and the woman parading the ring collapsed. It was the grace of God that prevented double internment that day!

Mitterrand, the former French president was discovered to have side attachment with 2 kids after he died. Meanwhile French laws restrict man to only one wife. Arnold Schwarzenegger who was married to JF Kennedy's sister had a troubling home. He disclosed to the wife that the male child the former house maid was carrying about was actually his son. That day the Kennedy lady did not sleep in that house. She parked out of the house that night with her 3 kids. She cannot tolerate to share her husband with another woman. She is there with no other man.

So, over to those whose opinion is hinged on whatever reason to rethink. This is becoming a wild fire that will leave no home in no distant time.

Why is it hard for you to respect people’s choices...

U want polygamy??...go ahead and marry multiple wives....Why are you looking for a people to support you calling monogamy hypocrisy
... if your woman say the same thing now...u will be among those that will start crying foul......
U want your woman to be happy sharing your pen!s with several other woman under one roof....but you can’t imagine it the other way round....u think say na only you like enjoyment

Candidlady:
so as a lady mere starin at a dude i could actually conclude if he brillant/intelligent or not?

for the glasses thing i think its true, i have never met a dull person who uses glasses. Just like lefty(s), they are also always "smart"

I ddnt say staring at a dude will automatically make u know if he’s brilliant or not...

to judge people by their looks isn’t always accurate...u could take a lucky guess...but it won’t always be right..

officialmario:
The issue is that I always give her money to send to her mum too, she is loyal to me, although she is not working right now, but she still save little that I give her, I can't really say if she has been sending money to her mom secretly.

A woman that’s not contributing anything to the finances of my home is complaining I gave my mum ordinary 10k.....


Orísírísí.....lalasticlala come and see something
Daughters of eve has started again...

Candidlady:
A lady just passed now and a friend said "that girl looks like someone who will be intelligent/smart"

now my question is can you tell if a person is smart/intelligent by physical appearance

Lol...somethings go together...though not every time...
Like Muslims and hijab...like I said, not every time


Brilliant or intelligent girls hardly ever dressed naked....they are brilliant for fvck sake..they don’t waste their time on superficial things.. mayb that’s why the person assumed..

Sometimes... glasses makes people look brilliant...i know it’s fallacy to assume so..I don’t know why..it just gives some people that smart look...

airsaylongcome:
I'm not. I understand bits and pieces and can infer meanings. balabala however is a slang I have no idea what it means

ok....apologies...

u translated the word correctly to the opposite in terms of gender

Sacred007:
pained ass

You ddnt pass jamb...tell me the truth

airsaylongcome:
Naaaah, it's not about being woke. I was honestly trying to find out if there was a slang in Yoruba for these kinds of men. Maybe "se oko balabala"

You are even yoruba...And you are asking me what shedi balabala means??..respect your self oooo

airsaylongcome:

wayward men
loose men
useless men

airsaylongcome:

girls with high body counts and several abortions
olosho wey the form saint..
babes wey no see sex as anything...na who dey near dey enter the place...

Evercurious:
Every man his choice. Mee I no do cos for me it might lead to complications and I wldnt want such in my life.make him go check next door . Afterall some other ladies are ready to accept such as long as they can handle and cope with it.That's their own choice...

Yes, other girls will gladly accept as its not a big deal... That's exactly what people have been telling the OP.....it even happens to people dating without planning or talking about it .....
but the best is not agree like you said in case he decides to go an marry someone else after getting you pregnant

Evercurious:
And that's where God steps in cos with Him ,All things are possible

God can step into any case....
.the point is some guys want to be sure the lady they want to marry can get pregnant. it doesn't matter whether she's a virgin or a retired prostitute.

dannyrhymes600:
That's how I was coming from lectures 2 years ago, when a bike with one passenger on it stopped to carry me. I expected the man
(passenger) to shift so I can sit behind him, but her refused and started shouting like a boar undergoing castration without sedation. He said if I can't sit in the middle, he'll pay for my space and go alone, I said fine they should go. I boarded another bike few minutes later. when we got to one round about, the shouting man and the bike man were already involved in a fatal accident. I was surprised and shocked at the same time.

Op at times ehn, just leave some people with their problems, you never can tell what they just saved you from. Like my pops will say, when you are on the road, believe you are the only one normal.

bike conditions are a bit different...it's not the same with cars at all
.you women automatically see doggy style when a man wants to sit at your back...which is understandable to most guys. But some men have objection to siting in front of women too as it will mean putting up with your brezz pressing on their back....some men dont like that too

Sexiestcrown:
He has every right to be vexed, what if he is also uncomfortable with sitting in the middle, So he should have done what he might not like just cause some lady without courtesy couldn't do the right thing.

What if he is also uncomfortable sitting in the middle...
So the guy's right is greater than the woman that got top the park before him??
just listen to yourself and determine if you made any sense.

Lollittaa:
If you're a lady living in Nigeria, use your two hands to draw your two ears.
Have you done that?
LEAVE ABROAD NIGERIAN MEN ALONE!
Leave them alone.
Most of these men are married and looking for a fun time. If a solid relationship is what you want, leave them alone.
From what I've seen and read, many of them are batshit crazy. Like the worst misogynist you can find. They don't rate women. THEY WILL USE AND DUMP YOU.
December is a month and a few days away. They'll soon start returning home. Stay away from them.
Don't say you weren't warned.

which one is use and dump...u women should stop feeling like tissue papers, you are human beings for crying out loud....
two people fvck each other and one person will start claiming use and dump....u use each other....its sex....

Ogaboss44:
I've noticed one very bad behavior from Nairalanders, even the ones that claim to be rich.
Some Nairalanders are use to abusing people who ask for financial assistance.

Please if you can't help someone, don't make it worst by abusing the person. Be a cheerful giver , this is a hard time in this country.

I know that some knuckle heads would try to comment with insult.

wait ..so you want to beg total strangers for money on a platform where people tell lies on a per-second billing mode, yet you don't want the risk of being insulted??

nigga pleeeeeeeeease.........even those doing good get criticized
you cant control people's reaction, you can only control your own actions...
don't beg on a public forum and expect people not to talk...there are scammers on this platform..

Joe4real1988:
We talk?

About??

Don’t let her Have you like a child.....otherwise you go become a f00l for love...trust me that shiit isn’t good..Na so some women game be ... them dey like have all the cards in a relationship ....

She probably likes you...but it’s clear she’s a control freak.....they like to have things done their way and there’s no how they won’t control those around them..

Na Patience you go use handle her matter...
No reason every of her reactions...sometimes just ignore...but no ignore 100%..otherwise she go drive you bonkers by playing the card of deliberately not caring about her feelings...

Madness dey some girls body because then think say man keep them for house mean say dey go dey forget their manners anyhow.

A lady really annoyed me this morning.
I had gone to the park to board a taxi back home. The guy who was loading for the driver directed me to the taxi that was loading. An elderly guy sat at the front seat while a lady was seated by the door and she was the only one sitting at the back. Note that the drivers take three passengers at the back.
Immediately I saw how the lady sat at the door- her body language- I decided to enter from the other side but another passenger beat me to it plus I was approaching the taxi from her side to I just decided to enter through there.
The lady rather than shift to the middle came out for me to enter without any form of excuse which I found annoying.
I made my displeasure know to her but she just kept mute as if no be human being dey follow talk. I still repeated myself.this lady just start blowing out like burning charcoal, shouting at the top of her voice that "do I think she is a baby for me to treat her like that".

To make matters worse,the passengers and driver were telling me to not retaliate because na women. Na so we go continue to dey tolerate nonsense. Even na guy, I go still tell am wetin he do no correct.

Wait....u are angry becos she ddnt shift so that you could sit by the window...??

Your entitlement mentality is on steroids
Is it because she’s a woman...?? So she should respect you...and move inside instead of coming down..

Bet seun..

Don’t mind the anuofia that comes online to insult

What is anuofia??

Sounds like a terrible insult..

Elporo:
If this happens again. Tell the man you are ready to take a fertility test.

Tell him you are ready to carry all his babies as every good wife looks forward to this.

Most men would move forward. This is logical.

There are plenty cases of people medically certified fertile and not able to get pregnant..

It’s one thing to test/check for bio-markers of fertility it’s another thing for the mechanism of conception to fully happen....
Some ladies that have done multiple abortions are even fertile and get pregnant before some virgins..no one know exactly why

Science cannot explain it all....that’s why there’s always a part of research with the statement

“ the reason for this is not fully understood”
