The men of God in question never spoke ill of him while he was alive and never were they friends. Friendship and association is a matter of choice.
Talk from now till tomorrow, they won't release a statement as regards his demise.
Make everybody dey their dey. Your congregation na your congregation and my own na my own, no need for busybodying.

Like I said most over religious people lacks what is called logic. not more than 200 years ago, Christianity was brought to Nigerians and The people that introduced that religion to you don't practice it as much in the present day. they practice realistics. what makes you think you understood a borrowed religion more than the borrower? You see this is the reason why our society is in a mess. you claim to know Christ and yet very wicked and hateful towards your neighbors. when last did you help someone in need near you? brother Christianity, Islam whatever are all man made. seek the true god within you and you will see clearly.
To give to the poor is one teaching of Christianity but don't think ones I am giving then I'm a good Christian. There are people who give but in their heart lies wickedness; that's the devil and his children like you.
Repent and be born again and you shall receive eternal life.
No matter what a man gives, if he has not received Jesus Christ and born again, he shall have no eternal life.

I was born in a Christian Family, I mean my mother be like she and jesus relate coz of the way she carry the thing for head. right from childhood, I never felt convinced about the stories in the bible. sometimes after morning devotion I ask my mom a lot of stories in the bible that logically doesn't add up. The answer I get from my mom Is, don't ask too many silly questions so god wont be mad at you. just follow what the bible tells you. the bible says a lot of stories that seems like fairy tale. I never took Christianity seriously even tho I strongly believe there's a creator which Is god. I believe the concept of a god is misunderstood by Christians and Muslims alike. I lived In Asia for so many years, and learned a lot from their believe system which is mostly Buddhism. these people live a modest life and preach goodness. they believe every life on earth is Important Including animals. they believe the main purpose of life is to help each other grow and evolve. at least If you cant help people don't harm them. even though they believe your good deeds on earth determines your next life. with that being said compare to Nigeria where we pray and pray and pray. why then Is our society very disgusting and filled with bitter and evil humans even those who claims to be messengers of god? To me the main purpose of life is to be happy, enjoy your life, do good to every living thing Including Animals. It's the number of lives you have touched that will give you great happiness in your dying bed. as for Christianity matter. logic and Christianity or Islam doesn't go hand in hand.
It's either your mum didn't study the scriptures or you refused to learn.
Many of us feel those around us is the standard for measuring Christianity. Read the gospel and see the life of Christ and you will understand what Christianity is.

udoji2021:
I have been thinking about this lately and decide to share it here. Don't get me fellas, I'm a Christian and believe in God and his son Jesus Christ

BUT

It is believe that God created the world and knows what happened before, what is happening presently and what will happen later till the end of time. This brings me question on why he allowed Satan to decieve man, why was he also angry since He knew beforehand of what will happen? Then the consequent punishment, was it really justified?

The most confusing part to me now is life after death. I personally believe that there is heaven and hell right from my childhood days until one guy (Jehovah witness) told me that there is nothing like hell, he went on that even heaven is for a specific number of choose people and not for everyone, above all, he said that when one dies, your own is finished and you are not gonna go anywhere. Simply put, your body and spirit will die.

I nearly insulted him for spewing such rubbish but many years after, I'm beginning to think think twice about this issue.
Now, imagine suffering in this life for all the days of your life only to meet death (body and spirit),

My question is;

1) why not just enjoy your life even if it means doing bad things to enjoy life?
If you can't enjoy life, why not kill yourself and rest to avoid the sufferings?

2) Even if there is life after death, what if there is no suffering cos God may decide to give everyone peace after death.

3) Those that didn't hear anything about God, what is their fate?

4) which of the scriptures is to be trusted?

May God forgive my ignorance if what I just wrote is bad and punishable.

Questions upon questions... Ask the Holy Spirit for a personal encounter with Christ and He will show you. You will come with your testimonies.
Study more of the word and pray.
I also want you to know Christianity is not a religion but living the life of Christ.
Religion will take you nowhere. It was religious practices that blinded the Pharisees from knowing Jesus Christ. They knew His family and so felt, the Messiah can't come from such humble home but they forgot the Holy Scriptures. Jesus Christ read their own Scriptures to them right in the Synagogue but still didn't understand because they were blinded with religious practices.
I would have given you countless references of the reality of heaven and hell but I want you to search the scriptures because what you will discover yourself isn't easily forgotten.

Well, can the clay pot question the porter?

Beware of so many people who seek to turn many from Christ, even those of the circumcision.

If you have been a Christian and still ask these questions, it means you have been a baby who haven't grown beyond feeding on milk. When you are supposed to be eating bone, you are still nibbling on milk.

prezidob:
I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. Honestly he's such a sweet guy and every lady's dream man. We're both course mates in the same university. We love each other and have pledged to get married after graduation. I'm a very beautiful lady as there's no day gone by without a toaster.

Because of financial difficulties, I took a job in a club as a waitress and recently, secretary to my boss... combining both work. I go to meeting with my boss to plan for the organisation of the club and I do come late and sometimes I sleep over.

My boyfriend reprimanded me for late nights and I told him that he's not my father and should not try to control me. He is so jealous!!
But the truth is he doesn't hide anything from me. Throughout the lockdown he was there for me.

I don't like the work but it's the only way to get by since my parents are not helping and my boyfriend is a student too.

How do I convince him that I love him and I will not cheat on him?

He doesn't want me to do the work neither do I. But we can't help it.

Please your opinion matters a lot to me as it will help me manage my situation. I don't want to lose him.
That job isn't even good for your CV let alone a relationship.
Who says that's the only job available for you?
This statement " you are not my father, so, you can't control me has ruined some relationships. My guy has moved on and the girl is now begging.
Shebi you will marry your daddy...

Family / Re: I Want To Send My Wife Packing by BananaPeel(m): 4:26pm On May 28, 2021
igwebest23:
This is too much for me. I have had enough. I got married to my wife last year October 2020. I did both traditional wedding and white wedding, spent a million plus. I work with ministry of health.

My wife has been insisting that I disclose my salary to her from day 1 but I never, I just told her that am earning 100+. Before I met my wife, she already learn Fashion designing. Then while was rushing around, preparing for wedding, she was pestering me to open shop for her. I specifically told her that d money I have now is Solly for wedding and traditional rite, which cost me fortune.

Then after much pressure, her people contributed money and paid for d shop (Remember I have paid her bride price then). I have swallowed red pill. How can I open shop for a girl I have not finished marrying. Then when she opened d shop, I equally supporting her with other things like buying protector and chairs. Every day she is going to shop, I drop pocket of 1k. Some times she asks me money to buy tailor materials which I give.

Now within a space of 7 months my wife now has 14 apprentices. She collected like 30k from them. Then all the money she made in her shop, she put all in her account, she doesn't contribute anything at home. Infact decided not to apply for ATM card. Some time, I may go to. ATM to get money and d tell me no network, if I come to my wife to ask her for ordinary 1k, she will say she doesn't have it. I never asked her to help in our home finances before, and I don't really care about her money.

But now found out through her Facebook chat that she sent her male school friends 7k. She hid it from me, she said d guy needed d money to treat her father in d hospital. I was shock. Cos my wife always complained she does not have money. Now she is complaining that I don't support her in her shop. That she can do whatever she wants with her money.

This morning, she was raising her voice to the hearing our flat neighbors, that am a useless husband, I feel insulted. Am embarrased. That I don't support her. She said her shop rent has expired that I should give her d money but she have enough money in her account to pay it. While is asking me. Am d one that pays for house rent, I buy food stuff, I give her transport every day.

I have had enough. I will call her mum to come over and carry her daughter. I can never beat her. The last night I shouted at her she fainted not to talk of beating.
I don't know why some husbands and wives can't disclose how much each earns? This is a very simple thing if trust has been built during courtship.
Money na small matter but it becomes an issue if it's been in the front burner during courtship.
Wahala for people wey no look well before marriage.
Young man, write down how you want your home run but include her in the scheme of things...

Oshoala Voted Nigeria’s Greatest Female Player Of All Time

Super Falcons and Barcelona striker Asisat Oshoala has been voted the greatest Nigerian female player of all time, Completesports.com reports.

Oshoala was announced as the greatest female player to emerge from Nigeria after the conclusion of a poll published on CAF’s women’s verified Twitter handle.

She beat off competition from legendary Nigerian female stars Mercy Akide, Perpetual Nkwocha and Cynthia Uwak.

After the conclusion of the polls, Oshoala got 53 per cent, Nkwocha was second with 31 per cent, Akide with 14 per cent and Uwak with just one per cent.

Oshoala was part of the Barcelona side that clinched a first ever UEFA Women’s Champions League title.

She came on in the second half in the 4-0 win against Chelsea in Gothenburg, Sweden.

She had earlier helped her Spanish club win the country’s women’s topflight.

Lionel Messi is still behind Diego Maradona in rankings at Argentina. Don't ask me why cos if you do, you are still a baby.
Nkwocha, Slide et al are tops on the ranking compared to Oshoala in homeland Naija.

If you are visiting A French-speaking African country, there is a huge chance that you will be spending the Cefa. The CFA Franc (Cefa) is the official currency of eight west African countries which includes the Republic of Benin, Togo, Mali, Guinea Bissau, Senegal, Niger, Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso.

In total, the Franc is used by 14 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Each of these countries belongs to either the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) or the Central Africa Economic and Monetary Union.

back in the days , 1 naira used to be between 3 cefa but as of May 2021.

1 Naira is 1.1 CFA
10 Naira is 11 CFA
100 naira is 110 CFA
1,000 naira is 1,100 cfA

Few years ago 1,000 naira will get you 3,000 CFA but today 1,000 naira is 1,100 cefa.

My girlfriend has a lot of shame about physical intimacy. I think she enjoys it, but she feels guilty afterward that we’re not married, like she is betraying her very conservative upbringing. I love her and we have talked about getting married. She thinks that will make physical intimacy more enjoyable for her. But I’m not sure. The idea of spending my life with someone who is unhappy after every time we are intimate makes me feel hopeless.
If you can sleep with her and you love her, then marry her. Let's not go into sermon of premarital sex, that's very wrong, but that is what is making her feel guilty. The world is so gone to the devil that people now see the wrong as right.
Young man,go and marry her or stop sexual intimacy with her. There's no gain in what you are doing right now.
