Ihedinobi: What can I tell you about eternity, I wonder? :/

Perhaps I should tell you about the new body that can't die or be hurt in any way and is capable of things that'd blow your already over-heated mind. Or should I tell you about never needing rest or nourishment and being able to carry on with life in its entirety without ever breaking down? How about the really incredibly interesting things you'd find you could do? The impossibility of impossibility? Should I tell you of inventions and discoveries that'd make Einstein beg to be noticed? Or perhaps of the possibility of traversing the universe without the hindrances of our current mortal structure?

Shall I tell you of the freedom from all the care and worry and fret that currently defines our very existence here? Shall I tell you of music that is yet to be made and enjoyed? What shall I tell you and what shall I leave off? The half of it I haven't even begun to know myself.

Let me just tell you that Eternity is finally Life as it ought to be. . .forever. I don't know about PS3's, but I wouldn't rule out greater fun than that. Sex? Oh, for what na? Even we tire of the thing by the time we've hit 80 (for the real maniacs, of course) and the real fun of it is the depth of intimacy you can plumb with someone really important to you; Eternity promises bonding beyond sex's ability to offer. Just try and imagine life as you know it today without all your moral squabbles and trying to do right when it's more appealing to do wrong, without the exhaustion that takes away from the taste of the success you toiled so hard for, without the fear of betrayal that eats away at the best of relationships, without any need of or possibility of sorrow, pain, terror and whatnot. Try and imagine being able to pursue your noblest goals without time fighting you every step of the way, or to be able to hunt down possibilities of all kinds without the limitations of mortal ability. Even if you could, bro, (and I'm sure you can't) you'd still be light-years away from capturing the amazement, the wonder, the beauty of Eternity with Jesus Christ.

Ohhh ths is jst so touching. And im so amazed that i hav someone of like mind. GOD BLES U 4THS REVELATION. Lets spread ths gudnews here and spread d gospet rugedly. We own Nairaland.

cyexx:

dont worry, a god who knows you need 72 heavenly sexy virgins wont overlook ps3 and catalogue of best movies and music ever made. allah is more thoughtful than yahweh in his heaven design. I dont think everyone really want to just be singing and praising a god (yahweh) who feels offended if you dont tell him how great he is.

as for me, if allah can give me just two of those sexy virgins now and hide them from my wife, i will convert to islam with immediate alacrity. i need to be sure that those virgins are real deal. i dont want to buy a no-testing product.LOL

I feel sorry 4u. Ths aint funny cus u ar serious. U ar jst so interestd in vanity and vain thngs and if i may ask u... And wat wil be ur gain/ reward frm ths at d end? U need d holy spirit in ur life asap, bt first, u hav 2b born again. Seriously.

Delafruita: whichever way,i prefer the islamic paradise with its promise of 72virgins.am sure allah wouldnt mind adding a PS3 and a catallogue of the best movies and music ever made

My dear, dont be deceived, such thngs wont exist in paradise. Ther wil be neither marriage nor courtshp. Let alone, any cock and bull virgin story. D muslims ar deceived and led astray, and i pray may God open their eyes 2see ths truth while in earth in Jesus Name, Amen.

cyrexx:

i feel you, bro. the concept of eternity is not well thought out in religions, it has some absurdities and illogicalities.
for instance, how will you enjoy eternity in paradise when you know that some of your non-chrstian family members are roasting alive somewhere else.
you will be forced to worship this loving god who in his omniscience knows that some of your non-christian family members will reject him and be roasted alive forever.

i will prefer to cease to exist than to live in that heaven.
thank goodness, i just remebered that i'm not immortal and i will actually cease to exist one day one day, therefore that heaven/hell crap is irrelevant and not worth disturbing one's brain with.

to me, thats the good news that must be shared to everyone

Hey u, pls dnt say dat, d bible says "my people perish 4lack of knowlege" Heaven and hell is real& if only u hav an iota of idea abt hw terible, horific and deadly d gateway of hell looks like (let alone, hel itself) then u wil flee. No place in ths whole world, america, europe, asia, africa is eva fine, captivatin, breathtakin& amazin enof 2be compared 2d gateway of heaven. When u think of a life free of pains, wories, sorrows, lack, a life ful of abundance, joy, peace, celebration, comfort, then u ar thnkin of heaven, and even at dat u cant thnk enof 2meet up wit d kind of glorious life saints (born again xtians) wil enjoy in heaven. On d otherhand, a life ful of non stop weepin& gnashng of teeth is even underrated compared 2d kind of life, sufferin& humuilation that ther is in hell fire. I cant even wish my worst enemy, hell fire. My dear, i beg u, pls choos heaven& start spreadin d gospel of our lord Jesus 2ur family members and frends so dat u wil hav them all wit u in heaven so that ur eternity may be full. I hav a lot 2tel u if not dat im tired of typing bt mind u, hell fire is jst d temporal waitin place 4sinners. Afta d judgement day, hell (and all in ther) shal b cast in2 d lake of fire. And here, ther is eternal burnin without dieing. Just like wen u ar inside water and evrythng u see is water... So shall it be in d lake of fire, no one wil see d nex person, cus all that wil be seen is fire! Fire! Fire. Pls dear, make up ur mind 2day 2be in heaven by giving ur life 2xst and turn preachng d gudnews 2ur family members too... Be born again. I love u.

Uyi Iredia: I think loads about eternity.

hey, uyi, is ur real name unyime? Familiar face tho...

blogger1.0:

What i want is that when i die, let my soul and everything about me die alongside me to, let me not exist in any other form again. Thats what i want.

Sorry dear, ths is not posible. Spirits dont die. Ur body wil only die bt ur spirit wil b alive 2be answerable 2ur deeds on d judgement day. So thats why its best 2invest in d spirit than in d body. Ur spirit is d real u. If i may ask u, are u born again? If not, do that nw and enjoy ur eternity in heaven

Handsomeemmy: Some people will just come to online forum and be spilling trash, you can not even arrest the rat inside your house and you are here saying you are disappointed in what the military are doing. If you have a little knowledge of what this military guys pass through everyday over here in the north in order to keep peace and save lives , you won't say all these things.

I cant realy fiqure out any bad thng in wat felixst said. He was just ponderin ova smthng controversial 2him, so pls jst let him be. Thanks 4d xplanation tho...

1supremo: I HAVE A DREAM that some day, some time in the near future Nigeria will be a very safe country where american, europeans and asians would love to spend their leave with their family members in peace. I HAVE A DREAM.

PS: That day is not today.

Amen. God bles u and may ur home experience an unending flow of peace& joy.

klax: @ Nerodenero "I lived the next road to Baba Ahmed Road called Mora Road and thank God I left the north for good after that unwarranted killings as a result of GEJ's victory.Just wondering what they want with the VP's house,besides,it was set ablaze last yr.Too bad,the north is gradually turning to our own version of Afganistan.




Honestly you have just said the truth now what the Northern leaders or elders forgot is when you say because someone you dont like get hold of something and you decided to fight him with criminals I bet them one day when the criminal finish dealing with the sin man he would return and face that same person that send him is simple as that.

If all the old foolish leaders or elders in the North think they are hurting GEJ by sponsoring this sort of madness in the North i'm so sorry for them they are hurting themselves let them keep quiet, sit back and be playing smart one day those same guy that came to Sambo House will surely one way or the other visit them as well, I mean one good day.

The North has decided that by their own hands want to wipe out their own people it has begun already, Afganistan will even be better, that same GEJ that is making them angry and decided to ruin their own generation will surely finish his term in power and go to his village and leave the silly North to be counting their losses. "A fool will alwys be a fool", day by day GEJ is systematically developing his own people in South South, the West are moving on well, the East are moving on well only North say they will not rest till entire North gone in extinction or the North exist no more so nice and bravo indeed a very good choice bros, keep bombing and killing ok, I say it again and again "A FOOL WILL ALWAYS BE A FOOL"

U ar right my broda. But lets kip prayin and declarin God's word in ths world. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is d best president eva, just watch and see. Time wil tel. Al thes menace and tragedy has rather fortified and strenghtened him. And he is now equal 2d task. Watch and see.

sandy409: Akwa ibomite make up about 70% in Cross River state, u know what means 'No Akwa ibomite, no Cross River state'. Its a known fact, for example ;Unical,students & other sectors in Cross River State

No, its not 70% bt 95%. Seriously.

Limaoscar:

That Post probably wasn't meant for impatient folks like you. If 5 paragraphs is "too long" in your opinion I wonder what your "long" looks like.

Olodo shut ur trap.

EPOMA:
Godswill is a thief, all this issues came up after he bribed the boundary commision with 400 million naira and the tried to see the slow poke imoke and to no avail and just ceded the wells to akwa ibom state .they now went to court without enough evidence

Cal him wateva u want 2call him. Oil wells hav been ceded to Akwa Ibom and thats final. If u dnt like it like that, then go and hug transformer. Babo.on.

@Obiagu1,
While I do not totally agree with every one of His post, I think He's shown decent signs that He understands the Geography and ofcourse the demography of His area.
He is from Ogoja and perharps close to the Idomas,the Tivs or the Igbos in Abakaliki....It's a real nightmare these days getting from His Province to Calabar (His state capital)...t's always been a painful journey anyways....way back, two decades ago, it was like 4hours.....4 good hours from His area to the so-called capital on a narrow, but busy road.

Ogoja is one of the oldest provinces left in Nigeria that a state has not been carved out from. They are the food basket of the state. Hard working, friendly, ambitious, Educated, but have been bunched-up in a strange relationship with people who consider them as "BUSH PEOPLE" simply because they are from the up-land and did not see civilisation as early as their fellows from down South. His pains even though a bit incoherent sometimes come in different flavors.

I hear him screaming sell-out by some elite politicians in His state, I hear him him scream attitude of the people in the centre of this so-called injustices and I hear him ventting His own frustration at a people whom He thinks should show some understanding(The Akwa-ibomites) understandably so, because He does not understand the Politics of oil and the complexities of the the Akwa-Ibomites themselves.

Akwa-Ibom may also be re-acting to the fact that they lost some oil wells to Rivers state sometime ago (not sure under what circumstance though).

It is a lot more complicated than it is on the surface....and the loss of Bakassi was even traced to Yak Jack Gowon wayyyyy....back before Obj. If we want to delve into Bakasi and how we lost it...we all will be very ashamed weather you're from Cross River or not.

Ths post is too long. No patience 2read all. Alwaz learn 2summarise. Thank u.

Raimond:

You sound so tribalistic...This is century 21...You can do better...FYI I am not a calabar man...I'm Akwa Ibom proper and I care to make that distinction at every opportunity I get to do so, not based on tribe but simple geography. *I understand your pain.Don't worry, we'll bring our money to spend there so we can help your economy*

Hahahahaha. Very funny bt i like it. Its true, pls do help d economy as uv said oo cus i stay in calabar. Nice one.

Billyonaire: Cross Riverians are lackluster in their quests, you hardly see a Cross Riverian on the street hussling, they are very comfortable with their lifestyles which is bad. The streets of Calabar are adorned with houses belonging to the people of Akwa Ibom State, a sister state that was once part of Cross River state. The said Oil wells, belong to Akwa Ibom by virtue of geographical location. Cross River State went to court without a map and AKS went to court with a map only for Cross Riverians to say the map is fake. Thats a shame. OBJ singlehandedly gave away Bakassi, and cross riverians relocated peacefully out of their ancestrial land without a fight. What a peace loving people. Even Calabar, the Capital of Cross River, majority of the investments are owned by Akwa Ibomites. Cross River needs collective mental adjustment and business prowess. Congrats to the hardworking people of Akwa Ibom State. Cross River should wake up, there is more to life than contentment.

I like ths, u ar too much.

bashr8: lol that will be very confusing, naija is just messed up.

Its ur father's house and ur entire generation that is messed. Son of a bitch.

mu2sa2: In the spirit of brotherliness, cant Akwa Ibom relinquish even 1,yes one, oil well to the good people of Cross River.The Supreme Court justices ar human beings and as we all know humans can be influenced by all sorts of considerations. But even if the judgment is 100% correct AKS should be magnanimous in this incongruous victory.

That is wat d state shud hav done rather than draggng it 2court. Nw d court has given d final judgement and "d winner takes it all" its too late my dear.

betrani: Even with the so much wealth! Akwa-ibomites prefer it in calabar! they have collected everythin from Cross River! the most annoying thing is their guts in Calabar, from the typical taxi cab driver on the street through neighbors to visitors; their animalistic tendencies prevail! I wish this motherfuckers would try this shit down my LGA! where we don't take any crap! we place motherfuckers where they belong! my brothers in benue can attest to this! And because this lazy bunch of assholes prevented we in the northern part of Cross River for testing power over 42years now, its coming back so hard on them! we know the directions around this state better than any one else! if it wasn't for a close family friend who gave donald duke the compass, he wouldn't have know hw things work around here! All we know is hw to sale our brothers out! Goats! and that chimp of a fool(OBJ), that Criminal of a tout(Don Duke) and that fool of a lesbian (Giwa) You all will reap ur harvest for sowing seeds of weakedness! Bunch Of Fuckers!!!!

May God deliver u frm ths madnes and dumbnes. Il advice u visit T.b Joshua cus ur case is a bad one. Im sure u dnt even undastand d rubbish u ar vomiting. Iliteracy is truly a disease. Guy, accept my sympathy.

ebamma: i pray God gives them the fortitude to bear the loss

Amen o.

gboss4sure: Nawa ooo. Dat court wicked. They should divide the oil well into 2 na and give one to cross river and the other to akwa ibom ayaya. Am sure indigines of cross river won't take it lightly. I no wan see another plateau state

If d indigenes of cros River wont b hapy, then let them go and fight d magistrate and court 4d final judgement na. Its just funny that i own smthng and u take me 2court ova my property, to take it frm me? Neva. They shud hav thought twice or embark on friendly negotiation. But 4me and my house. We ar crazy abt d riches above and nt ths earthly one that is temporary. Seriously.

jamst: @akagbe watever,are u crazy? why are u threatening amusa opeyemi because of her view.You see u are lucky dat we are on the internet,asuming if it is a live forum were we can see each other physically and 1 on 1 I could have use my fist 2 scatter ur face...Be care cos my eyez ar on u 4rm now...Watchout

U wil join her 2d grave too. Satanic servants. Complete m.oron. M.aggot.

Dranatomy: They were trying to reap at were they didnt sowed but nature had it dat they wil live in a house(Grave) they didnt build

Funny bt not funny. I refuse 2 laugh jor.

str8_talk: Since d Supreme Court denied them(the pple of Cross-River of their right to possess their Oil wells seeded to Akwa-Ibom of which the Gov. has put good use of the allocations accrued 4rm these wells) seeing this spilled 'ready made' oil was to dem dia own national cake,unfortunately,little did they knw it was their gateway to no return.
RIP!

Sharap, it hapend in Rivers and not CRS. Ebot.

nxanadu: u can imagine what poorverty wld cos and its GEJ fault!

Its ur Father's fault and nt Gej. Basta.rd.

T-smooth:
Nigeria "jaga-jaga". I blame our Government for neglecting their youth. Jonorthern should empower youths instead sitting in Aso rock being controlled by some Northerner. mtcheeew!

U ar an i.diot, a complete b.astard, a jobles mugu. Dnt go and create job 4urslf. Sit ther and kip accusin d govt 4ur joblesnes and wrechednes. Poverty wil kill u. Imbec!le.

Amusaopeyemi: To all dos insulting me because of my post may God 4gv u,dnt gt me wrong peeps m nt in support of how BH is killing innocent people that ws y i said "BH is fighting the right fight in a wrong way". Do you even knw y BH started al ds?

Senseles tok. Ur own iliteracy is worst than that of boko haram. If u eva thnk that wat boko Haram is doin is gud whether in a wrong way or watsover, then u ar doom 4destruction and may their 'gudnes' come upon u since u presume it so. Be rest assured that ur end is near. Go and call ur people 2gether and put thngs in place cus u ar leavin ths earth soon 2d grave. None of my words has eva return void. Its just sad dat u wil only confirm ths in hell. If u love ur soul, then beta go and gve ur life 2xst and b saved becus believ me death is inevitable in ur life naw. I repeat, put thngs in place naw, u can even go and buy ur coffin and kip cus u ar leavin soon. Mark my words.
