manmustwac: i help a friends financially and they tell me "God will bless you" and i HATE it Relations always beg me for money whenever i visit Nigeria if i say to them pray to God to help you financially they come up with all manner of excuses to demand money from me and defend their unfaithful God I once helped a babe in Nigeria who got her student visa with her air fare. Would you believe that this babe told me that she gave 10% of her air fare money to her pastor

that would rightly piss anyone off. what nonsense!! and actually insulting

yea, but 1million miles is a bit too much. prolly like 10% of well maintained cars can cover that much distance.

Anyway, like I said "easily". So surely can run more than that.


I am very impressed though at that million mile mark and that 600k miles by siena.

Hope dey lol

[quote author=Somorin#1]I have a 1967 car here and my older Brother has a 1929 car.[/quote]I think he means an everyday car, not a priced jewel under lock n keys lol.


@ post, if well maintained and serviced regularly, a car can easily hit 250,000miles

The OP: If you pray in your name wonders still happen. Trust me, just try it. .

So you mean like : In the name mighty Billyonaire I rebuke all the forces of Ignorance Marauding our people on NL, Amen in Billyonaire'sname we pray. Lol

LOL! and if it doesnt happen, then you are not praying hard enuff . Or your sins are hindering your prayers hahahahahahaha

Laughable

obadiah777: if you study the bible extensively. the meaning of every word is not what it is however the biblical meaning of the word is hidden somewhere in the bible.

say for example. if the bible says 'THE SEA IS AGGRESSIVE'. i guess folks like you will start to conjure up images of storms and waves and angry raging waters etc etc. well biblically, what that statement means is that ' THE PEOPLE ARE AGGRESSIVE'. in biblical lingo SEA = PEOPLE. this is how the bible is written. so i can understand how many of you get tripped up. the more you see the less you know-however the more you genuinely seek the more you know

That's absolutely wrong my good man.

You cant read the bible in English and claim to know what it really means. It was translated from Greek to Latin then English (new testament that is). Any linguist will tell you that is one language too far in terms of translation.

You can only make your own "best" interpretation of the meaning.

Learn Greek, and read the original manuscript before you can make a stand in what you say. A lot of people that do that eventually give up on the religion

obadiah777: the original sin was spiritual fornication. the apple is symbolic with spiritual fornication. its like in the book of revelation when the 144,000 sealed men, the first fruits, the first ressurection, in the book of revelation it says these are men who have not defiled themselves with women. they are virgins.
REVELATION 14 VS 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. WOMEN IN THIS CONTEXT MEANS 'PHILOSOPHY' OR 'DOCTRINE'. DOES NOT MEAN THE MEN WERE ACTUAL VIRGINS WHO HADNT SLEPT WITH WOMEN. MEANS THEY HAVE NOT DABBLED IN OTHER PHILOSOPHYS LIKE IDOLS. SPIRITUAL FORNICATION. THATS EXACTLY WHAT THE APPLE REPRESENTED IN THE ADAM AND EVE STORY. SPIRITUAL FORNICATION.

OMG!! WTF :O .. I tot your radical views ended on just multiple Adam's! it goes way further than that!

Wow dude! you'll be good at making up conspiracy theories. So anyway, this is your own interpretation or you're sure this is what the Author had in mind?

just to add one more thing
This is a billion

neosmyt: Our dear science says 'There is no GOD'. Ok fine.
Science then further says ' Everything now has evolved from one thing or the other.'
It went further to claim that 'man evolved from other animals over a period of years'.
When asked, Dear Science said ' its takes millions of years for evolution to occur', and that 'evolution is a gradual but continuous process'.

When i checked further, Science tells us that 'man has been around for almost 6 billion years'. Wow this is a long period of time i guess.

Ok now Mr Science, you have tried but since evolution is gradual and continuous and takes millions of years, WHY HAS MAN NOT EVOLVED INTO SOMETHING ELSE NOW HAVING STAYED OVER BILLIONS not millions o, BILLIONS OF YEARS.?? And WHY IS THERE NO SIGN THAT MAYBE I MAY TURN TO A CYCLOPS OR WHATEVER SOON? Or should we wait anothe billion years?

Science has failed, simply because they do not want to accept the bible account of creation.

Heaven is real, hell is too. Accept Jesus now and be saved.

FIrst of all, this is what you get when you only read religion apologetic books that tell u blatant lies.

FFS the earth is not even 6billion years. NO and I mean NO science book will tell you the earth is 6 billion years let alone man being that old


Let me school you abit
The earth is about 4.5 billion years and for the first 3billion or so, nuffin happened
then bacteria and simple life forms came up. Fastfoward 1billion years and u have complex life forms
Fast forward another 100million years and more complex life forms
Fast forward 200million years and Dinosaurs rule
Another 150million years dinosaurs die off and other life forms rule
FF 42million years and the earliest possible ancestors of man popped out
FF 8.5million years and modern man is beginning to take shape
FF 490 thousand years and we have modern man
FF 7.5 thousand years and your religionist ancestors have started composing the torah
FF 2470 people around you have been born
FF 30 years and you have the internet and Nairaland to come and express your ill researched views just to claim right/justification


Libraries are not for decoration my friend
use them

Evil Brain: ^^^ Whats really funny is the religious people who don't seem to have realized that OP is making fun of them.

I can assure you plenty of them wont get it

obadiah777: the last laugh will be on him

50 - 50, but i'll put my money on him laughing that "last" laugh.

All this confusion just to clarify the possible ince$t Adam and his family were into? lol

why not just say the whole story is Symbolic like most theologians would agree and save yourself the embarrassment of creating a needless straw-man


Problem is, when you say it is symbolic then the whole idea of "original sin" jumps right outta the window


Or why not just save yourselves the entire stress and agree it was all made up by someone/some folks less intelligent than most of us today

badlucky: Stubborn MASSOB, always daring security agencies. Make war no start agin o! I no get where to run to

HAHAHAHAHAHA you just made my day

kid7soccer: guy i don tire 4 u o, post wat ever u like

lol.. dont run away! he is only trying to make you engage your brain a lil bit. stop with all this scare tactics.

If you read the new testaments properly you'll notice that the subject of Jesus' teaching bordered around the end of everything and how everyone should drop whatever they have and follow him. This was due to the "things" happening at the time.

Well, he died and went where ever he did and guess what? Two thousand years later we are still here. When will you guys realise that this earth is all we've got?

[quote author=Mrs.Chima]Come on! People are not divorcing because the spouse isnt standing by the door with slippers in the hand....they are divorcing because they are immature and doesnt have what it takes to endure.[/quote]Thats not completely true Chima. And you know it


@OP! I really don't see how you can "notice" a trend by going over to her house once a month or anything as seldom as that. Unless its all in your head and you just wana make a thread about it or Worse still you noticed it once and immediately compare to what you and your hombre would normally do! hmmmm


Every couple is different, you really don't need confirmation from others to do what works for you guys.

My observation is simple: They prolly don't see the need to get all mushy mushy with you around! so do well to leave on time when you visit, for them to relax

M M M: Op

Pls can u upload any blue film or adult movie

Tanx

we all know you'll jerk off to anything

No need to announce it

No difference, He'll still be a hippie and maybe smoke some cannabis while he's at it

fellis: No. Muslims believe in evolution and the Qur'an never claimed that the earth is 6000 years old.

But it is largely based on the story that claimed it is.

Same thing different packaging

Omo Alata: But why sell your soul? You should stand on your principles. Tell the G.O. straight "Your business relationship means Jack-All. I'm not coming to church. You either give me the contract or you don't".

Instead of incurring His wrath.

whose?

MsDarkSkin: I totally agree.

I also want a "block this user" function.
i have said it on several threads and have received many kudos and thumbs up for it.

I hope we can get both!

[size=2pt]I can't wait to see how many thumbs downs myself, chima and royal will get!

LMFAO![/size]

Indeed! If they had the time to put up a like button, dislike shouldn't be that difficult.

LOL. u and ur cohorts (u know them) will get plenty thumbs down up

Delafruita: still in church(though spending almost all my time on my phone).dont even know what the sermon is about but i couldnt help but hearing the part about "samson killed 1000 phillistines with the jaw of an asss".how the fvck does someone even believe such fable?

Now where have I heard something similar to that before??

Oh right! I remember

HERCULES

Omo Alata: Thank you. I thought I was going senile for a moment

lol.. not yet

brinell: Didn't you read that it was not a prohecy, but an advice. What is wrong in that? If it were not Prophet T.B. Joshua that gave the advice, would you run your mouth? Over sabi. You don't know that many people use fake laptops, and besides if something is known about safety, is it wrong to say it again? What's your own sef? Next time also, quote your source of statistics (99%).

You quote the wrong person mate.

Anyway, All electronic/electrical devices that run the risk of damage due to overheat(since electrical surge also causes heat) have a failsafe mechanism in place. Mostly fuses do this, You might as well ask me to quote my source that tells me 99% of electrical devices are fused too?

Fake laptops or not, as long as it has a chip it will have a sensor.

By the way, my source is me! My undergrad project was on the topic and I also wrote a paper on electronic cooling devices 2008

thehomer: A neat analogy.

you're joking right?



the analogy is not consistent with the real world.


First of all, there is an override button that cancels all electronic input to the aircraft and gives the pilot manual control. This is true for almost all Boeing. Airbus on the other hand deal with fly-by-wire and may be a diff story. Even they too have automated override from their control centre on ground.

Secondly, what happened to the PA system? He could have easily announced on the PA so everyone will believe immediately rather than creating doubts. He is the pilot afterall and the overall commander of the aircraft and the lives of everyone on-board is his responsibility/priority. Telling passengers to tell other passengers seems an evil way to do things and even unprofessional/poorly trained

Thirdly where are the Air-hostess(that terrorist disguise is just laughable) The can easily transmit this information row by row if the PA system is damaged or absent (the pilot must have known the problem is electrical if his PA dies). Again Manual override?? . The passenger has the right to doubt the story if the aircraft feels ok to him and he has heard nothing from the pilot. They aren't responsible for their lives in that situation, the veteran pilot is

Fourthly No one can actually Jump out of the plane and be safe cos it is an illusion to make them die happier. Here's the problem: cabins are compressed to a couple of bars above outside pressure (since pressure is lower at altitude) so we can be comfortable. Thus the doors are "locked" into place with this pressure and will not open no matter how hard you try. Two options exist for the pilot: 1) quick decompression of the cabin which will pop out oxygen masks (This alone will make the unbelievers believe and dawn their parachutes) to allow the doors open . 2) gradual decompression by reducing altitude so passengers can breathe normally (problem is the plane is out of control and will not descend or ascend) without the masks and manage to open the door too

Fifth(ly) lol.. *After laughing at myself for actually saying "fifthly"* You cant simply dawn a parachute and jump off. Quick training on how to use it and when to use it is important. So all those thinking they are simply safe with their parachute are actually deluded lol



After writing this up, I realise the analogy is actually correct lol. You see why unbelievers cant believe? Again is it my fault that the all knowing pilot chooses to use shady doubtful ways to relate a message rather than going on a straight clear path?

LOL!!

@ OP, I see you've taken a lot of bashing and you're standing alone lol.. I'm support your views man!

Indeed, no one knows when the rapture will start so why dont people think rapture has started when someone disappears without a trace

Classic case of "everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die"

brainwashed religionists

Why do we seem to take common place knowledge as "prophecy" just cos it comes from the mouth of an uneducated MOG?

This incident of laptop burning down your house is very rare to say the least.

Your laptop needs fresh air circulated around it for it to function. When u place it on a mattress, it suffocates from its own weight pressing down on the foam. Imagine putting your face down into a mattress? I bet you wont last 2mins.


One more thing. 99% (If not all) of laptops now have a temperature sensor that tells them when the chip is near a critical temperature and it shuts the entire system down.

drnoel: U really have to read the whole thread to understand the whole story. While reading the whole thread try to concentrate on comments made by differnt people. If reading the whole thread would be a little to much for u then just try to read as from page 9 cos I wrote a summerized version there but make sure u read page 10 cos I wrote out the main story and finished it there. I think after then u would get the whole meat of the story once and for all.

Fair enough. I've just done that.

This issue is indeed a serious one for cousins to storm in for revenge. Well, I do hope they settle this confusion so everyone can mind his or her business.

deniyor: Your boyfriend is probably married or has a very serious relationship. That explains the following actions:
1. He is very loving in private but never introduces you as his woman in public. He can't cos the moment he does that, he loses his real woman. He probably tells everyone you are his colleague.
2. He goes days without calling you or returning your calls. Do i really have to explain to you that he is with his woman?
3. he is not having sex with you. It's probably not what you want to hear but it's true. The only reason a very sexually active man will accept that kind of proposal from you is cos he is getting it from someone else.

Based on the above, you are just an emotional release to him. You are the one he runs to when he has problems with his wife. He is emotional cheating on his woman with you. Well i can't call hit cheating in full since no sex.

You can't lose something you don't have. Quit the relationship and go get a real bf to marry cos I assure you, it's never going to be the married one you have now.

I'll change that to Definitely


again @ op, No need bashing someone for assuming the sex is great and hence u don't wana leave him. Funny enough, the contrary is the case and yet you still wonder why he disappears for 48hrs?


You're in wrong with the wrong person, call it quits and save yourself the emotional stress

sigmundfreud: shameless e.diots!
Why people no separate them now?

Apparently the fight was planned. That explains the crowd doing nothing and taking the girls separate ways at the end of their miniature skirmish, albeit appalling. The only problem is they didn't have a ring to do it in.

Well, I have no idea where to post this so I decided to do it here. Neither do I know if it has been tackled before

I've been away from NL for a while, only to come back to see a "like" tab under comments people make. Why not make a "dislike" tab as well?

I have seen terrible ideas that people agree with "like" and i'm sure others that disagree would love to make that know but sadly dont have a say. Pretty much a dictatorship system.....

"Either you like it or shut the hell up"



Prolly a poll would be nice for this so we can see what the community thinks

huh? what has this thread turned into? I read the first 5 pages and decided to skip to the end and now I cant recognise it anymore?!

I'll try to reflect on the issue from the first post. Hardly anyone knows how exactly this woman "diciplined" the 14yr old staying with her. Hardly anyone asked/cared. Rather people Jump the gun and call for blood. She probably beat the living day lights out of the kid and now is crying foul over a few well placed slaps? Not fair I guess.

Everyone Is wrong here. The woman, the 14yr old, her in-laws. Good example of the caveman cultures we have in Nigeria. Cos someone lives with you and "eats your food/drink your water" then you have the right to kill them?

We must learn to rule our emotions and not the other way around. Yet the bulk here will jump to church on sunday and give praise.


classic case of WWJD

I dont see what the big deal is here. I doubt that bill will be as common as 1000 and its predecessors.

Secondly, Nigeria will go cashless soon whether or whethant.


I guess the whole idea here must be politically backed. They are sick of looting huge sums in visibly large quantities and they rather steal the nations wealth easier. Imagine 4 bundles of that will be 10million naira

Omo Alata: Job 3:25

New International Version (NIV)

25 What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.

Fear is a sin. The Bible says, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear.

What the hell are you talking about?

Fear is what preserved the human race. It is a natural feeling like love, anger, hate and every other similar sort.
If your ancestors never feared anything, you and me wont be here today

BAAAAAAAANNNNNNG!!!!!
