Romance › Re: Help! My Experience With Church Girl I Wanted To Marry by amoco(m): 9:14pm On May 20 |
Kennitrust: Good day my follow Nairalanders.
Everyday, life opens a new chapter of life to us. My own chapter had been opened and and it read... "it time to get married.
In the church I attended, there I met this girl so mature enough to be taken in as a wife. I approach her for the first time and I started asking her out. Seem she knew my intention, she started asking me about my church life, my family, my business and all that not.
To be honest with her, I did my best to answer every question in the language she could understand.
She seems not still satisfied with my account, she sent me this message at about 5am. Said until I respond to those questions, she won't have anything to do with me again.
I'm truly confused on wether everyone that finds love 💕 really goes through this rigorous question.
And more about her life, she spent almost everyday in church after work. She said if I'm truly serious, I should also be as serious as she is in going and participating in all weekly activities in the church.
Please help, how do I answer this questions, since it the only options she said can bring us together? These are some of the basic questions most Christian men were asked by marriage committee. Nothing too serious. You can respond and then take the conversation deeper. Responding to these questions don't guarantee marriage success. You can respond and ask her your own to test her depth. Provided she didn't just copy and paste the question, they are fine. |

Goldrosewine: Misconceptions About Female Virginity We Need To Address😤
A lot of conversations around virginity in Nigeria focus on what a woman “owes” a man. But the truth is simple: sexual purity is first a gift a woman gives to herself, not anybody else.
When a young woman avoids early sex, she’s protecting her own future no early pregnancy, no STDs, fewer emotional scars, and a clearer head to build her life.
Another point many people still misunderstand: not every woman bleeds during her first sexual experience. The hymen is not a “seal” but a thin, stretchy tissue that differs from person to person. Sports, cycling, stretching, medical exams, and even tampon use can affect it. So bleeding (or not bleeding) is not proof of anything.
Ironically, many men already know this but the society won't let them trust the authenticity of a noble process🥲 This is why as a lady, it becomes important to hold these conversations with 'him' ensuring his level of maturity transcends that level of understanding.
At the same time, the cultural value many Nigerian men place on marrying a virgin is not wrong... Just look at Nairaland, there's that guy that asks on every wedding photoshoot thread if she's a virgin🥲 ...It encourages discipline, culture, responsibility, and stable family values. But women should also demand the same standard: if you’re keeping yourself, make sure the man you choose is also morally, emotionally, and sexually disciplined
Purity shouldn’t be one one-sided and I think this is especially important for parents of boys to teach their kids. A sexually disciplined man will not only reach great heights, he lessens the number of traps anyone could use for him💯
There’s a unique pride, peace of mind, and emotional stability that comes with sexual purity no fear of infections, no past body count regrets, no unnecessary soul ties. And yes, there’s a confidence in walking through your street or campus with your head high, knowing you’re a diamond nobody has ever accessed.
Let’s promote facts, responsibility, and mutual respect not pressure or shame. RoseGold 🍷

Goldrosewine: You are trying way too hard to project your bitterness and low expectations of women onto me, but I have the time to answer you today.😋😋
First of all, let’s address your sad attempt to make me feel small with your "royal persona" comparison. Royalty isn't just a title or a bloodline; it's a state of mind and a standard of behavior.
I told you, when look in the mirror, what I see is a queen. It doesn't matter if life tries to put me down; I absolutely refuse to relegate myself to the dirt just because others are comfortable there. My self-worth isn't up for debate or comparison with women who lack the discipline to match their aesthetics. It's not my fault that you think your daughter isn't a royalty just because you are not a king! 😋🙂
Secondly, you keep calling having a next-door "Chike" an "opportunity." That right there tells me everything I need to know about your mindset. Marital breakdown is a sad tragedy, not a golden "opportunity" to audition for the streets. A woman who does what his wife did has absolutely no class.
If life happens and a husband goes rogue, a woman of value doesn't sneak around to get even. You take your time, handle it with dignity, go through with a divorce, meet good guys, select the best to avoid making the same mistake, and properly start a new life. That is what class is.
And boy... I will repeat this again! you really need to go back and actually listen to Mr. Frank's podcast again with your ears open this time. He wasn't exactly "keeping malice" he resorted to non-violent means of handling the matter. There is a massive difference, but I guess nuance is lost on someone trying so hard to justify bad behavior.🤷♂️
As for your little hypothetical question: "If your current boyfriend decides to ignore you for 3 months, will you wait or try the new guy?"
If a boyfriend ignores me for three months, he is no longer my boyfriend. Period. I don't cheat; I pack up and leave. It’s called having boundaries and self-respect. You should look into it. And it is for this reason I am taking time to enlighten you on this issue and hopefully you'll pass the message to your daughter🙂
Since you are so convinced that every woman's morality is in the mud and that cheating is just a natural response to being neglected, let me also ask you this again since it triggered you, obviously 🤣. If this so-called "opportunity" happens to your daughter, would you encourage her to do the same? Will you pat her on the back for throwing her dignity away with the next-door neighbor just because her husband was distant?
Answer that.
Gold 🌹 🍷 You are a very smart person. I like your responses. I also like the fact that you respect boundaries and condemned infidelity in any guise. Thank you |

Education › Re: Abia-born Scholar, Victor Odoemelam, Rises To Professor At FUTO by amoco(m): 6:55am On Apr 28 |
MyExpression: He did his professional degree in FUTO, and passed.
So he's advanced from Msc to Phd to Prof. Same way you can study for these degrees from awarding academic institutions. Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate his rich CV. I only asked for clarity cos the write up said he did 1st degree, Masters and PhD at Michael Okpara Umuahia and stated all the places he worked and also said he brought 20 years professional experience to FUTO and was also awarded professorship by FUTO. This implies he currently lectures in FUTO. I only wanted the writer to show the link from Michael Okpara to FUTO. It is missing in the write up. The focus should have been on the current work in FUTO that earned him the award. Thanks again |

odoemelamemmanu: *Abia-Born Scholar, Victor Odoemelam, Rises to Professor at FUTO*
The Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) has elevated Dr. Victor Udodirim Odoemelam to the rank of Professor, following a formal approval by the institution’s Governing Council. The announcement, which circulated within academic circles this week, marks a major career milestone for the animal scientist whose research into plant-based livestock solutions has drawn international attention. A native of Umuezewuzie Ikpabo Nneato in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State, the newly minted Professor brings over two decades of academic rigor to FUTO’s Department of Animal Science and Technology. Prior to his elevation, Prof. Odoemelam served as a Senior Lecturer and had once held the position of Secretary, and currently the Chairman of the Board of Council Chapel of Revelation at the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU). Born in Ogoja, Cross River State, Prof. Odoemelam’s educational path reflects a truly Nigerian tapestry. He began his early schooling at Prisons Model Primary School, Gboko, Benue State, before proceeding to St. John’s Boys Day and Gboko High School for his junior secondary education. He completed his senior secondary schooling at Oboro Secondary School, Ikwuano, Abia State. He gained admission into MOUAU, where he obtained a B. Agric. in Animal Science. After his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) stint in Ile-Ife, Osun State, he returned to his alma mater for postgraduate studies, earning an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Animal Production and Livestock Management. Throughout his ascent, Prof. Odoemelam has attracted significant funding and scholarly recognition. As an undergraduate, he was a beneficiary of the Federal Government of Nigeria Undergraduate Scholarship. He later clinched the Innovators of Tomorrow (IOT) STEP-B Research Grant a World Bank-assisted project that buoyed his postgraduate research. In 2014, he was selected by Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation (MASHAV) for specialized training in Intensive Dairy Cattle Production. Two years later, he received a VLIR-UOS scholarship from the Belgian Development Cooperation and the Flemish Interuniversity Council for training in Dairy Nutrition. In 2020, he was a visiting scholar in the Department of Animal Science at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. At the core of the new Professor’s scholarly output is the use of phytogenic feed additives plant-based derivatives such as herbs and spices in livestock feed. His work explores these natural compounds as potential alternatives to antibiotics, their modulation of digestive enzymes, and their capacity to reduce methane production in ruminants. He has also supervised a robust number of undergraduate and postgraduate research projects. He has over 70 scholarly publications in reputable peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Prof. Odoemelam is married to his heartthrob, and the union is blessed with two children Faith and Chikauchem.
Academic and religious leaders from Abia, Benue, and Imo states have since begun sending congratulatory messages, describing his elevation as “well-deserved” and a testament to perseverance and intellectual excellence. Congratulations Prof! Well done Sir. But then I read the write up but didn't see the connection to your work in FUTO. |

enemyofprogress: I Threatened My Staff To Stop Going to Church or Else I Will Sack Him, But He Quit Instead - Folarin
Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actor Ladi Folarin has opened up about a past decision he now deeply regrets, revealing how it affected both his business and personal reflection on faith. In an interview with FeelRightNews TV, the actor recounted an experience from the time he managed a tea company, where a conflict arose between workplace expectations and an employee’s religious commitment.
According to Folarin, he had employed a staff member who was a devoted member of Deeper Life Church. The employee maintained a consistent routine of leaving work every day at 6 p.m. to attend church services. While this practice was important to the worker, it frequently clashed with the demands of the business, especially during periods when supplies needed urgent attention.
Folarin admitted that the situation became increasingly frustrating for him. Eventually, his dissatisfaction reached a breaking point, prompting him to confront the employee with a strict ultimatum. He demanded that the worker either stop attending church services during work hours or face termination. Rather than compromise his religious beliefs, the employee chose to resign. Folarin then proceeded to dismiss him.
Not long after this incident, Folarin’s tea business began to decline and ultimately collapsed. Reflecting on the sequence of events, the actor expressed a sense of remorse, stating that he now believes his actions contributed to the downfall of the company. He explained that, in hindsight, he viewed his ultimatum as a challenge to the employee’s faith and, by extension, a challenge to God.
His words; "When I was running my tea company, I employed a staff member who was a member of Deeper Life Church. Every day by 6 pm, he would leave the work we were doing and tell me that he wanted to go to church. Most of the time, we usually had supplies to handle, so I got angry one day and told him that he either stopped going to that church or I would sack him. He then accepted to quit the job, so I fired him. Shortly after that, my business crumbled. Later, I realized that I had challenged God by telling the guy to choose between my work and God."
Copied Insufficient data. What is the contract? Opening time? Closing time? Overwork policy? Prior discussions had on this? Was there a 3rd option aside from the 2 presented here? |

Atheists and godless people have no basis to talk about human intelligence, human hierarchy in the animal kingdom, human rights, humans values. Thru believe we are no anything more than dusts and atoms working like mechanical objects and without a purpose. Why do you bother about human intelligence hierarchy? Romans 2:12-16 NIV [12] All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. [13] For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. [14] (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. [15] They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) [16] This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares. |

Men will say they are testing sexual compatibility by sampling different ladies ,then turn around to shame ladies for having high body count.Lol
Secondly, I wasn't a virgin. Despite, maintaining sexual purity all through my teenage years till early adulthood,I lost my virginity in my final year in university in a painful and heartbreaking manner. It took a great toll on me and I had to see a psychologist.
Thankfully,I was able to overcome the bitter experience and graduated.
I met a lot of guys who didn't agree to "No sex, No spending" and after few weeks of talking / hanging out (which I always paid my bills to avoid them feeling entitled to sleep with me),the friendship will die a natural death...and I will move on quickly...No tears,you no waste my time,you no chop me.

Axis313: Cross was a tool used by the Romans to torture criminals, the same cross is now seen as the religion symbol of some people. Yes. Because Jesus of Nazareth was crucified on the cross of Calvary. This is why Christianity identifies with the cross of Jesus. Not that the cross is a symbol of pleasure or satisfaction. |

AntiChristian: You saw a cross that the Jews used to punish criminals and you wept!
He's already inclined before.
So cross is a symbol of Christianity and not idolatry now? The Romans crucified criminals on the cross and it later became a symbol of torture, pains and humiliation. Nothing changed from that perspective except that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was also crucified on the cross, humiliated and buried thereafter. He rose again from the dead. Christianity identifies with the cross because of Jesus of Nazareth. It didn't remove the suffering associated with the cross. They identify with the cross as the painful object Jesus died on to save the world from sin. Atheists and skeptics also know the cross is a symbol of pain and suffering. They also repeat the clause " to carry one's cross" after Jesus said everyone needs to carry their cross.... |

Of course ensure you and the old friend are separated by a very long distance with no plan to meet in the near future. Then help her and just leave it at that. No strings attached. If you could help your enemies and all who dealt with you when you were growing up, how much more a friend. Most men won't have some unwanted issues if they carried their wives along.

Foreign Affairs › Re: JUST IN: Iran Reopens Strait Of Hormuz Route For Oil Tankers by amoco(m): 5:27pm On Apr 17 |
dododawa1: Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday that the strategic Strait of Hormuz, vital for the global oil trade, will remain “completely open” to commercial ships as long as a ceasefire in the Middle East holds.
“The passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire,” Araghchi said on X.
It was not clear whether he was speaking of the 10-day truce agreed by Lebanon and Israel that went into effect at midnight or an earlier two-week truce between Iran and the United States that began on April 8.
Iran, which sent shockwaves through the global economy by essentially blocking passage through the crucial Strait, had made the extension of a ceasefire to Lebanon a condition of opening the waterway, state media reported.
Lebanon was drawn into the broader war launched by the United States and Israel on February 28 when Hezbollah attacked Israel in support of Iran, its key ally.
An Iranian senior military official told the state broadcaster that only civilian vessels would be allowed passage through designated routes and with permission of the navy of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The passage of military vessels through the Strait of Hormuz remains prohibited,” the official said.
US President Donald Trump welcomed the Iranian announcement that the narrow waterway would be open, but said the US naval blockade of Iranian ports would remain in place until a peace deal with Tehran was reached.
“The naval blockade will remain in full force and effect as it pertains to Iran, only, until such time as our transaction with Iran is 100% complete,” Trump said on his Truth Social network, adding that “this process should go very quickly”.
Oil prices that had spiked during the supply disruptions plunged after the Iranian announcement of opening the Strait. Thank God. Let fuel prices come down for the common man. We need peace in the world. |

Children are vulnerable at young age. Aged parents are vulnerable at older ages. Both are vulnerable. Your point? All vulnerable people should take care of themselves? Read that again. Lol |
