musKeeto: Hi babestell.

Too many matured minds on this thread. Lol. I feel like a kid.

how far? What do atheist do on friday evening?

modestdude: Thanks dear. I understand some people have dead conscience and take pride in sin. God have mercy on them and on us all. I'm still here

their consciences aren't dead. Its just that they don't see it the way you and I do. Please let us keep an open mind to understand the other person's point of view.

Lets change this topic. Why did a fine man like you not finish priesthood training?

modestdude: Mr. Barrister, you don't find a comment that opens up old wounds by way of mockery (dieing biafran children) an inflammatory tribalistic comment? How low can man go to bend the truth? Does it make sense to you that we feel the pains of that war till now? We lost brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers. My father still has a bullet buried in his left thigh till date from that war, and you are here rushing to defend another man's folly.

You think you only kill by taking someone's life, you can also kill someone by your words. I may no longer visit this thread again, since we have people here who rather than admonish a brother, will twist his wrongdoing with logic. This is actually what the first reading of the 23rd sunday from prophet Ezekiel was talking about
(Ezekiel 33:7-9. "...if i say to the wicked, o wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood i will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life)

Is anyone more Catholic than the other here? Had God called me to priesthood, i would ve been a month old in the priesthood now. So learn to call a spade a spade, it doesn't cost a thing. It takes the grace of God though

People see things differently, clearly some peeps see no offence with the statement. But thats just the way they perceive it.
However please do not stop coming around over this. Doesn't make sense, we all make mistakes and he has hidden the comment.

FrancisTony: Igbotic is more like Igbosian e.g if something has an Igbo feature(igbotic accent etc).

No its not. Igbotic used in your context is derogatory. And offensive to some people especially as you tried to use it to drive home a statement that was false.
The issue is that at first glance your comment offends and cuts deeply, especially as it had no bearing whatsoever on the topic at hand.

But its ok now. God bless you

striktlymi: Not related!

He said the word Igbotic and he is saying that since He is Igbo he is allowed to say it, where normally if a non-Igbo says it he/she would be termed tribalistic. Am Igbo and the context and tone in which that word was used in his sentence is tribalistic to me

"As in only igbotic people (commonly used derogatory term for backward igbo people) use such a water flask. In other words the water flask is a common, razz, local, dirty, fake, Aba made product!!!!!

That is what that sentence says to me

its like the term "Nigger"

If a Caucasian says it, it is seen as a derogatory term term. But African Americans say it to each all that all the time, However that doesn't make it any less derogatory or rude. And other Black Americans have the right to call them out when they use it.

Humility is a virtue

FrancisTony: Like I said, I never made a tribalist comment.

I am Igbo and I said what I noticed.

Thank you for editing your post. That was an act of humility. I know it must have been a great struggle for you to take it down, but then imagine what Our Saviour went through in the Garden of Gethsemane

But I hope you took away 2 lessons
1) What you noticed was very false. You were the first to comment and you put across your observation but at least 7 people came forward to prove you wrong, Some even referenced their schools just to prove you wrong. The lessons here is that KEEP AN OPEN MIND!!!! If you had, you would have phrased your answer differently

2) Everyone that e-quarreled with you did so because you used the word "igbotic", just one word out of many chai!!!. When you enter school and later on start working learn this "One action/word carelessly said can ruin everything" I have experienced it before when just one simple action got me violently flogged, disgraced and then de-boarded from secondary school.

God bless you

striktlymi

I beg to disagree. His first statement can be said to be tribalistic.

please reference modestdude's post above me. I totally agree with his submission on why the post is tribalistic. If being real also means being rude and insensitive then maybe "being real" is not a good thing.

I like

BRING IT ON!!!
I would like to see more examples of christian charity as it pertains to the world we find ourselves in today

Rich4god: In view of the upcoming feast of St Vincent de Paul, members of the society of St Vincent the Paul, the Vincentian families and the entire catholic families that are devoted to the saint world wide begins today, the novena to St Vincent the Paul, which will run through to the 27th of this month, the feast day. So, as a member of the society of st vincent de paul, I will try my best to through more light on the need for charity which is the virtue the saint is being known for. Other contribution will be welcomed... Cc Italo... Pardon my typos, na nokia 3310 i dey use...

hahahahahahahahaha
You dey find their trouble shebi

texazzpete: Note that this news just pertains to Android users in the US, and those that usually spring for the Flagship devices (i.e on-contract purchases at $199 or less)
These are users who have enough disposable income and are less inclined to piracy.
Just chipping this in before anyone who uses a N21k Tecno comes up to abuse switchers because they won't be able to download cracked Android 'HD Games' from dodgy Chinese sites on their iPhones

#TEAMNOKIA

Peppyluv02 has raised a very serious issue that we all are faced with everyday in different sections of NL. How do we share our opinions on issues at the same time not compromise our faith. Because Nairaland is a faceless community, we are temped to say what we want with the belief that it can't be traced back to us. And sometimes those comments are definitely not compatible with the faith we profess.

Has francistony account been hijacked? That what it seems to me because the statements are just mean.

The current trend is for people to just get insulting purposely either to get noticed or to just derail the thread. Very disconcerting when you think you are having a normal conversation and the other person is just being rude and silly.

May God help us all to be good ambassadors

what does government consent mean? Is that the same as C of O

Na wa o!

And the cycle of corruption continues


This means that there will be not bust to the housing bubbles being experienced in Abuja and Lagos anytime soon.

cococandy: Really? Classic 50calibre
So if a man wants to prove he loves me unconditionally,he'll also put up with cheating from me?
Or is this as usual your classic women aren't human beings with feelings too and so deserve to be cheated on and not feel hurt scenario?
Good luck finding a woman who loves you sooo much she won't mind sharing you even if you're everyone's sezx toy.
You may find some who'll stay because of your money(if you have it) or for whatever else they are gaining from being married to you but don't be decieved into thinking you're so special a woman will be just fine with a fraction of you.
It usually is because such a woman is getting something from being with you which is more important to her than the fact that you're cheating.
Try be a pauper and see how special you are.
That's when you'll realise that you can even be dumped for another guy who alread has ten women to himself.
if a woman puts up with bullsh1t from you,study her and find out what's keeping her tied to you.
Chances are it because of a particualr benefit and not because of how special you are.
Most of you don't even know when you're being used.
For you and scribble and the other members of the man must cheat team,there are women to suit your tastes. Find them and marry them.
Stop running around trying to convince us to accept what's unacceptable.
If it was so second nature to y'all,why do you hide when cheating?
And the women who cheat with these men are what? Not polygamous?
Anyhow you look at it,it amounts to a load of horse sh1t.
Because men cheat with women.
P.S you don't wanna know what your babe is thinking when a hot guy drives or strolls bye.
The naivete most guys display when talking about women's sexuallity is very amusing.
Anyway I've made my point. Adios.

Lolz

You said it all.

BTW I think people are just making comments to get a reaction from you. Maybe its time you stop quoting them and just lay out your points. Too much attention is doing them.

Congratulations Damerry

Please make up your mind to graduate with a first class and start working towards it. i know so many Catholic peeps who graduated with first class from universities where first class was unheard of. YES you can do it. Is Our lady not your mother again.

Once again congratulations

scribble: The next thing na lesbianism


You women leave all these unAfrican things alone but una no go hear word.

Once again I reiterate my comment. Work hard for yourself and make your life count. Determine what is happiness for you and strive towards it.

And like some posters have said keep your eyes open to the reality of true love. Tell yourself what you can or cannot be. I personally CANNOT be a main/side chick/wife. No need to exchange words or fists, thank God Nigeria is gradually approaching the point where the stigmas of divorce/singleness is losing sway. (btw I don't support divorce)

Also I refuse to believe all/99% men cheat. I know a lot of men who do not cheat, men with money, power and opportunity. It isn't easy for them but they go an extra effort to stay faithful.

Scribble's comments should reinforce the desire in every female to be a success and have some elements of self respect which is not dependent on another person

The first step is to understand your own personal definition of a success. After that work towards it.

If the OP was getting laid regularly then he won't have strength for this nonsense. Go and marry

muffins99: A joint account is a good idea as it promotes responsibillity and accountability on both sides. There wont be any of the 'but i pay the school fees and rent and you only buy food' wahala. It is important though, to agree what percentage of your incomes will be paid into the joint account ( I don't recommend more than 80% unless you both earn very little). You should also decide whether or not you will take out an overdraft and what expenses will be funded from the account.
However, a joint account is a bad idea if your partner cannnot be trusted with money either because they've bad spending habits, don't know how to manage money or they're planning to leave you and take all the money with them. Never put all your eggs in one basket or else.....

Well said

texazzpete: There's something hilarious about people going

"It's camera is only 8MP and so it must be worse than my 13MP samsung phone camera"

"It's only dual Core so it cannot be as fast as my quad core/octacore phone"

And still calling others sheep.

Only a true sheep would believe the SoC's power is directly related to the number of cores...and that the megapixel count is an accurate reflection of camera prowess.

If you think your 20MP Xperia Z has a better picture quality than a 16MP Canon DSLR from 2013, I've got a bridge to sell to you.

Seriously I would not mind a bridge right now o!. The rainy season has washed away my road and a bridge would really help. How much are you selling it.

SINGLE YEARS
  "Are you free of a wife? If so, do not go in search of one." —1 Corinthians 7:27  1st reading
Those gifted to be single for the Lord do not commit sin if they marry (1 Cor 7:28). "But such people will have trials in this life, and these I should like to spare you" (1 Cor 7:28). All people have trials; so Paul must have been referring to unnecessary, additional trials. Moreover, it is sometimes good to undergo trials. However, Paul must not have been referring to "good" trials, or he would not have tried to spare anyone these trials. In summary, in the Scriptures the Lord indicates that those who marry but were called to be single will have unnecessary, additional trials, which it would have been better not to have undergone.

Is the Lord trying to show those who are single the way to the easiest, most comfortable life? No, He is trying to keep singles as free as possible to help them devote themselves entirely to Him (1 Cor 7:35). Some people in the Body of Christ need to be available for anything at any time to further God's kingdom. They must not be tied down by unnecessary trials. The exceptional freedom and availability of those single for the Lord is not for their ease and comfort; rather, it is for the good of the Body of Christ.

"The time is short" (1 Cor 7:29), and the times are stressful (1 Cor 7:26). Those of you called to the single life, the Body of Christ needs your gift now more than ever. Be single for the Lord and His kingdom.

MissMeiya: CityNG, and you know what the worst part of it is about this "technology is evil" argument? I have a set of young cousins here in the US, and they are SO adapt at using technology, SO much more than I was, and I thought I got started pretty early. There have educational apps available for children to use on these tools that people are deriding as "distractions". Many of the things I still remember to this day, I learned, not at school, but from the educational games I played on my computer at home. God bless my mother for buying that computer. She absolutely insisted that her children be computer literate, and I ended up being placed in a program for gifted students. I got really lucky with my mom.

Please can you share the apps and programs/educational games or links to them. I download some from the android market but I dnt mind having better dedicated ones without all those stupid adverts

Before we start condemning, Is it possible to compare results with results over the last 10-20 years. Then we can really say whether or not students are failing.

Experience shows that the same statistics can be used to tell different stories

Rich4God Happy Birthday

Ubenedictus: there is plenty catholic literature on it...popes thru out the 19th century spent a large time on it an another stuff called "modernism".

I Wanted to stimulate discussion on many points relating to it, but i haven't been online for some days now, i'll read up before asking the next question.

Stimulating discussion on issues some people are not aware of may not be as fruitful as you wish. It would been nice to start of with a definition, set a context in terms of current realities and then open the floor for discussions. I had to read through all the comments before someone defined relativ in a reply.

Its not a topic am familiar with but from the responses it appears to be something I should be aware of because in my quest to achieve world domination, i will run into situations where my understanding of what it entails to be a relative will help me make the right descisions

jnrbayano: The bold

I figured out that since he is violently denying priesthood. Then it must be because he os already in the alternate apostolate.

Syncan

You sound so Opus Dei-ish some times.

But please keep it up. very refreshing to read.

PS
How do you mange being married and so holy at the same time

Good one Syncan
Me I get altar for house. And I know how many people have told me I am overdoing the Catholic thing. Me I no send. I have a crucifix on my desk in the office, my sceeen monitor is divine mercy, my ringtone is ave maria, I do all that to keep myself in the church mood always cos the things of the world are very sweet and distractive and sweet
