sipsip: Now please read and judge with care and concern. I arrived the church today for the second service. After Sunday school I was contemplating if I should sit where I am or move to the front. Now I have this Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder. One of them is sitting at the back in any gathering. I don't like it. Right from time... After thinking of it for a while, I take my stuffs and move to the front row. The second row has been fully occupied. Thing is my church is a province, a fairly large one. Nobody really sits in the front row... Partly because they don't like being in the view of everyone and also because it's reserved for 'protocol'. Kinda. Keep following...
Being that I'm always in the second row, I've noticed over time that just one or two protocols sit on the first row every Sunday. It's a row with about ten or more seats. Now I don't mind sitting there cause I don't like to be at the back. Have in mind it's not the ministers or 'first timers' seat. Those one are on one side. Everyone knows. I'm sitting in the front row in the middle of worship when an Usher comes to me and say I can't seat there. "Why? I asked." he said it's for protocol. Protocol? Not ministers oo. I told him I don't want to sit at the back. Moreover no one is going to sit there. What if the church was filled up, won't people sit there? He goes to call another Usher who says the same thing.
To cut the story short, I told them since the church is now their own house, I'm leaving. Moreover, I was already getting angry which is not good for worship. I left even with everyone staring and all... Tell me, did I do wrong? Any one with such unnecessary protocol experience? Maybe I'm too much of a 'right claimer'?
As much as i have a serious problem in spaces being reserved for protocols in religious places, i think you were in the wrong here. if you were a first timer, it would have been a different issue. But you knew the modus operandi of the church and still went to sit in front when you should have avoided any issue.
lalasticlala: Jenifer Okere Jenifer was a star actress in the 90s. Her first role was Chinyere, where she was married to Andy in "Living In Bondage",. Jenifer had a lover boy in Glamour Girls, in the person of Pat Attah. Doris and her other friends warned her about him but she ignored and went ahead to marry him. The Lover boy took her money and relocated abroad. She started hustling all over again, and even had to go to Italy for prostitution.
After the movie, Jenifer Okere later got married to actor Emeka Ossai. She did lots of other popular movies. Jenifer died in 1999. Her death was the first to shake Nollywood.
Ahh, Jesnnifer Ossai nee Okere. RIP. These were the people making waves in Igbo movies those days.
Somebody called me and told me that there is a plan to send Fulani herdsmen after you and I said ok and the person said I should be careful and I said careful of what. He said the herdsmen are just going to run into the road like herdsmen and begin to cause confusion and while your security men clear them and you come out, they will open fire. I said okay. After about a week, he called me and said please, if you don't do that, they might bring them to come around church premises. I said its okay. And I told my people, any Fulani herdsman you see around you, kill him. I have told them in the church here, that any fulani herdsman that just entered by mistake, Kill him, Kill Him. Cut his head. If they are busy killing christians and nothing is happening, we will kill them and nothing will happen."he said.
I don't see how having different ideologies will lead to fights as far as both couples respect each other's opinion. I'm sure you're asking this question because we're in a country where people can curse and even kill you for daring to think differently from them. if husbands and wives can support different football clubs or belong to different religions then why not different political parties.
@OP Good to know that you have decided to trace your roots. But i thought those DNA tests used to be specific as to which ethnic group in Nigeria part of your DNA comes from. It would have made things better. But all is not lost.
I don't think i can use your physically to attribute to any ethnic group as you have lived in America for eons and have genes from other races as well. I'll suggest that you should just choose a Nigerian culture to adopt and take it from there. My suggestion would be IGBO because i'm one and more Igbo slaves were taken to the Americas than any of ethnic group owing to their physical strength.
sanandreas: things can actually take shape if we forcefully retire these recycled politicians.
The problem is the people and not necessarily the recycled politicians. The trend in Nigeria is, the younger, the more fantastically corrupt. Have you seen our youths of today?
sanandreas: I don't wish to have a green. I fancy America but not staying there. We have what it takes to be great like America if not of our leaders.
Actually, we don't have what it takes to be South Africa let alone America. The people make a country. if the people are fantastically corrupt, you can't expect the country to go anywhere but down.
sanandreas: You would agree with me that America faces threat than any country in the World. We have those who are living legally. He should sanitize America the way he wants it to be. The 11 million should go back to their country of origin.
Micheal pence just read his oath of office. He's now the Vice President of Yankee. Trump is yet to become the president. If something happens before Trump is sworn in, Michael Pence becomes the president of the United States
One thing we have to learn from Americans and white people generally, is how to do things sharp sharp. See they way they're just perusing through the items without wasting time.
