And Dinosaur Alaye has spoken.

Come to think of it, whether they call you or didn't call you, you still represent them and they have the right to call you to order if you're not representing them well enough.

Oga Dino, next time, focus more energy on your senatorial ddistrct, rather than focusing all your energy on displaying flashy cars and hobnobbing with Saraki.

Laughable. I won't be surprised those who condemn the textbook actually masturbate a lot.

Come to think of it, why is masturbation even bad, surely it save against unwanted pregnancy and those disease with names a person can't pronounce.

Cele perfume lasts longer than celebrity marriages

Now I must laugh, this is epic. Lol.

Mindfulness:
Seconded.

Really?

bennyann:
Ok then. Sorry about my short-sightedness

It's all good. No harm done.

bennyann:
Hmmmm. Ok

But you shouldn't have concluded how dangerous it is and just do your part by making the Op explain better.

You already judged it as dangerous without doing anything to correct the perception so others can see it for what it really is.

All ready did that, you chose not to see it.

bennyann:
You guys ehn, please celebrate with her first or at least say congratulation or you need proof too?

Congratulate her first jor

I'm surprised you're still acting as though you didn't see one doesn't need to be idle in her write up.

Even the ordinary word 'believe' that you guys think doesn't involve work actually do.

As a Christian when you believe God, you don't just believe in your heart. You work it out by confessing it and by acting it out in everything you do to show that you are a believer in Jesus. All those activities that reflect your believe in God, are in themselves work and don't just stay stagnant within.

See just congratulate her I beg.

And you're speaking as if you don't know many nigerians are foolish and barely understand or are capable of deciphering simple English.

bennyann:
Are you for real? So because she said 'believe' it is the same as her saying 'don't work'? Or because she didn't add work out your believe, does that mean she meant ' be idle'?

Even Christians that read it didn't see it that way.

In English comprehension passages, it is expected you see through the write up that she worked hard which was inspired by her love to be the first contact to helping save lives before others. Hence, when you're asked if she just believed or she combined it with working it out, which one will you then choose as an English student according to the passage?

Gosh! Are we babies?

So for you who see, what does it entail to Believe according to christian doctrine.

HardMirror:
did not even read the story or comments. only saw my mention and replied. na them sabi. mumu people.

LOL.

HardMirror:
smiles. it is funny people keep saying they don't believe my story.
so caccf members could be aware the thread and the only thing they could debunk was a single sentence in my whole testimony. ain't that a cause for the intelligent and inquisitive to ponder on? oh! and if you know anything about campus fellowships then you would know that many of the so called caccf members who showed on the thread would definitely know people who where members of my own fellowship, ASF. so why is it that none of the ASF members never bothered to show up and debunk my tale. while many of them kept sending messages to me on whatsapp begging me to return to Christ. smiles*
my story is filled with many names and pointers the only thing that held against me was that bother I said most likely died from complications of ulcer from his extreme fasting lifestyle and itbis obvious I was not close to him as I don't even know his name. put one plus one together. not begging anyone to believe me anyway. it is my story and I tell you it is true and ASF is still there. the records are still there and I have Enuf pictures. only problem is how far do I want to drag my dear fellowship in the mud. it is bad enough so why go further to provide evidences for people who dont give a fvck about the church or myself. so I also don't give a fvck.

The difference between your story and this one is that yours cast shade on the behaviour of christians, while this one employ christians to believe and pray fervently, without working hard.

The OP here never laid emphasis for her fellow christians to work hard. She laid that much emphasis for them to believe and that belief will pay at the end of the day.

That's why her post is more dangerous than yours. Nigeria is full of too many people who lack the zeal to ask questions, questions that can save their life.

JewelStone:
It's something to be happy about for people like me who don't have easy access to ngwobi and so many Naija food

I drool over these photos, they bring back awesome memories. Wish someone can post photos of afang, oha, banga and edikang ikong soups, miss them like crazy

You can't cook them or you don't have access to the ingredients?

Zandha:
I understand what you're saying, bro. Your points are valid, right. But her post contains some worthwhile teachings about life. Anybody of any world view can find inspiration from those and connect with them. That's the part that should be of value to those of us who don't view the world through the goggle of Christ she wears. I know we can't be certain whether the story is true, but as long as it's not harmful, I guess it's fine. Even if it was concocted, it contains good and positive elements. No need to sweat it, bro.

The teaching about life should be: work hard and you'll get there, not sit your ass down, pray and believe in God and you'll get there.

Hard work pays, yes! But that is not always true. I've seen many people who worked hard and die paupers.

I remember the HardMirror treatment. It was an eyesore, if I must be honest. It wasn't any sort of investigation - it was a show of sheer hatred, animosity, and antagonism towards HardMirror. It was a waste of time, and a display of astonishing stupidity. We are at liberty to believe or disbelieve in her story. We don't need to be like damogul and his ilk, carrying out investigation online over a petty issue, as though they had no life outside nairaland. It's not worth the stress, bro.

---

And come to think of it, many of us believed HardMirror's story right from the beginning, without demanding for evidence. It wasn't because we're dumb. We only trusted him and took it for granted that he wasn't lying.

I read the whole story and observe the thread with mute attention and curiosity. I never believed what Hardmirror said mind you. I didn't question him about what he said because I didn't see anything I can get value from. But in this case, there is value that's why I'm asking for proof.

adepeter26:
Well said.

Nobody even gives a sh!t about another person on NL

Like we care

Well I do give a sh1t about some people here. But I believe if she really got promoted, it's as a result of her hard work, diligence and selflessness. Not as a result of her being a christian because I know many christian who wallow in acute material and mental poverty.

You'd have to ask her if she had sat her ass down at home praying, hoping and believing she'd get promoted if it would have happened. If you ask me, her actions got her promoted, not her belief in God. (that is if her story is true).

spacetacular:
I have repeatedly said here on this site that a lot of you have this false authoritative nature that everyone "must" give you what you demand for like you hold some manipulative switch or something.

Those who are demanding pictorial proof or whatever else should do themselves a favour. They should stop taking themselves too seriously.

Placing demands on strangers just to satisfy your ego shows a very bad trait. My life memoir was not written for all to believe but to inspire as many as are willing to be and not to be turned into a judge and jury session.

I am having a blast with my life at the moment and I am grateful for it. Stop being too uptight. My life isn't in competition with yours.

I'll have you know this isn't about competition or whatever it is you're thinking. This is about facts and evidence.

Yes, you don't owe anyone anything, but if you take a closer look, I believe you do owe someone something, especially if you come online and share stories of such to 'inspire' people. Those of us who have learnt never to take people's words for what it is, especially in a place like nairaland that attracts all sort of people who use the site's gift of anonymity to spread lies, deceit, falsehood and what have you.

So, my good madam, no one is being authoritative. I believe asking one for evidence or proof of what they say doesn't make them authoritative cos I've learnt to question everything I read here.

But of course, feel free to post or not post this evidence, it's your life, your data and your phone, but know that those who believe you are those who lack the ability to ask simple questions and they normally constitute those who are blotto with religion.

You wonder why Karl Marx said "religion is the opiate of the masses".

calliope:
Oh lawd. I recall vividly the last time I chow this. (defense night celebrations to be precise) and twas a bliss coupled with shots of vodka.

Hope twas garnished well enough? You want to make me crave nkwobi ba? You just might succeed

LOL. Well it's here and there, nothing to be happy about. Though the pepper and onions is what I love the most.

You drink vodka, a lot?

GoodMuyis:
Very unfortunate felixomor is right to say when it come to bible [belief] the atheist will pretend is if English is their problem.

If you wanted to argue intelligently, OP should have define who a Christian is, from their, we the Christian, might likely introduce to you who the religious were, and few theological topics such as human depravity why fornication is common among so-called Christian, probably fuse it with Scientific evidence why every human do have sexual urge. But just as judedwriter had answered only very disciplined christians can live above all sexual immoraties couple with aim to live a pure and holy life - Heb 12:14.

I believe the answer is simple instead of doing acrobatic discussion which will derailed the thread.

I have the urge sometimes, but I disciple myself even though there are weakling who are expecting me to approach them BUT just a some nairaland will say, I dont have a bleep to give, those who give a bleep went that way

Care to define who a 'true' christian is?
