Engage the services of a lawyer to do your talking so you can save yourself from heart attack, Rip.

When are we going back to colonial rule? 🤔

Right hand drive ?

Macpherson constitution?

FarmersUNIT7:
Some parts of this Country don't do traditional marriage. Just pay her dowry and decide weather to do Court wedding or white wedding. Traditional marriage is only common in the South. Most Northern Christians and Muslims don't do traditional marriage.

Okay thank you.

romioray:
If 69 million Nigerians can contribute just N5 each, he'll get 5 times that money, or if 1 million Nigerians can contribute N100 each, we can raise 100 million for him? A burden shared by many hands becomes so very light, my brother. We can be helping hands to each other.

You’re very right.

Tallesty1:
This coming from a Catholic is laughable.

Tells you how ignorant we are as a people. Catholicism is deep rooted in idolatry, spiritism, etc and I doubt if a catholic priest will wed a couple who have not done the traditional marriage.

I didn’t make the post about religious affiliations, if you want us to have that discussion we can do it on another thread but I was born and raised Catholic, for reason left the Catholic Church in 2015 to 2021 (in this time I worshipped at Dunamis, Redeemed and Living Faith while maintaining an affiliation with a lesser known Pentecostal church) today I’m back to the Catholic Church fully convinced that it’s Christ church on the earth.


Back to your assertion that no catholic priest may wed without traditional marriage and consent of the bride’s parent is true but only applicable to the church is Nigeria or Africa, where we do both the traditional and church marriage.

The post is to know if there are like minded individuals like him or if he’s alone on it.

Enskynelson:
Yea... I knew. He didn't hide it as at the time.

Oh, too bad we have a non existent healthcare system, should have sorted out a long time ago

Enskynelson:
I know him personally. We were in the same soccer academy at some point

Did you know of his medical condition?

69m no small amount o

StillDtruth:
As you can see, multitudes complied with natural law marriage even though some families were wicked, so its no grey area really but just a matter of if your intending is worth the wickedness.

Well true but also what is the norm may not also be right as customs and traditions sometimes evolve.

WareLogMan:
This is reality brother
No advert, I don't even know a single staff of them.

You’re not even the OP 😂😂😂😂 more reason to know it’s an advertisement.

Advert. 😂

StillDtruth:
From the lack of responses here you can see no one escaped it.

I think your friend is being silly for being a Christian has to do with living a full of doing the good and avoidance of doing the evil.

And basically marriage requires that you take the consent of the parents of your intending partner, which means any and every rellevant person in the family of your intending, must be regarded, honoured and respected which is the basis of traditional narriage.

So your friend should properly channel his objection as we know that the only valid objection against traditional marriage is its abuse by wicked and evil familees

Thank you for this your comment. Obviously it’s a gray area and we both know it would be very difficult for most families to agree to it.

When the time is right he might have a change of heart of heart or like I told him marry a lady from the west.

OMEGA009:
Hmmmmn.

Abba Kyari released on “bail”,
Evans remanded in custody.

Terrorism charges against Miyetti dropped,
Sunday home free despite calling for secession,
Terrorism charges against Kanu upheld.

Soldiers ambushed in the North, silence.
Soldiers killed in the South, mass destruction and arrests.

The monster you feed, ……

So in your cerebellum you put abba kyari and Evans to compare them both ?

I really wish Buhari snuffed the life out of Kanu when was caught in Kenya.

You don’t think well, the first time he was apprehended in Lagos was in a hotel in the company of a woman other than his wife, the next time in Kenya. What did he go there to do ? Safari ?

IPOB are killing their own people claiming to be agitating for Biafra, will the dead live in that so called Biafra land ?

I’ll never rate MNK, not today, not tomorrow not ever. Let BAT keep him there for the next 7yrs if possible. O na pu ala.

iramure:
I wonder too
This man is a devil

You’ve said it all ! Him and he’s gang all of the devil, it’s painful cos people will swallow the message hook line and sinker without critically thinking about it, I’ve been there once, never again.

MDK777:
That's the primary aims and goal of Christianity, give to God and received in abundance

Not Christianity rather Pentecostalism.

osmosis101:
So many,not 1 nor 2

Okay cool. Thanks

jmoore:
Your friend is an ignoramus.

He claims to be a Christian, ask him if Jesus attended any wedding in the temple. The only wedding recorded that Jesus attended was a traditional wedding.

Let’s leave the reasons, I know he expects this backlash I just want to know if it’s something no one has done before.

I wonder what 5000 foodstuffs would have been like in 1997.

Kwinity:
It is my pleasure to announce to the general public that there's no N500 suya in my area anymore. Thank u!

Big woman, cut soap for us na, tankus 😂🙏

opeyemi2012:
At this point, NLC has to apply wisdom and FG has to apply sincerity.

Is N60,000 fair? No.

FOR THE FG
The FG should stop gaslighting and using media propaganda to vilify the NLC. If Labour proposed 494,000 and gave a breakdown of how they arrived at that figure, it is only reasonable that FG also break down how they arrived at 60,000. But FG is yet to do that despite several calls by NLC. That's hypocrisy at best and also the FG indirectly admitting that N60,000 waa simply arrived at without the current economic reality put into consideration.

When Jonathan increased MW to 18,000 in 2011, it was equivalent to 109 dollars but 60,000 today is just a little over 40 dollars. Are you creating more wealth or poverty?

At a time government increased the allocation of NASS from around 130billion to over 350 billion and proposed the increment of judicial workers' pay with each federal judge taking home allowances of over 50million per annum and salaries of over 4million, it is provocative to offer peanuts to civil servants and other workers. Even the military government in Burkina Faso are doing better than this.

Tinubu himself promised a living wage. Is N60,000 a living wage with the current levels of food and headline inflation?

FOR STATE GOVERNORS
These criminals have long impoverished their people. Failing to implement improved wages despite increased FAAC allocations. Withholding and embezzling LG funds. Embarking on massive road construction projects for kick-backs rather than true patriotism. Imagine a State paying workers 7000 minimum wage till now. A state rich with gold. Yet the governor will be competing with Lagos or Edo State governor by riding in a 10-15 exotic cars convoy, with sirens blaring to the faces of the suffering masses. Using the commonwealth of the state to fund their opulent lifestyles.
God will specially punish Soludo and any other governor that has opened his mouth to say they cannot afford to pay minimum wages. Lazy fools always waiting for sharing of monthly FAAC. They cannot think out of the box.

FOR LABOUR
Wisdom is profitable to direct. The elites do not want the poor to be empowered. Keeping the poor in poverty is a political weapon that helps the political class during elections. That's why Buhari couldn't lift 1 million people out of poverty despite promising to lift a 100million. That is why Tinubu promised a living wage and is now offering 60,000 that cannot fuel his car in 1 week.

If the FG offers 70 or 80k, please accept it with conditions. Let the conditions be as follows:

1. Government should reintroduce the things that made civil service attractive and encouraged productivity such as low-cost mass housing scheme where civil servants can live and be paying from their monthly salaries with the option of a rent-to-own offer after several years.

2. Government must with immediate effect release the so-called CNG buses that they have been claiming they provided since last year. Enough should be be released to cater for the daily transportation needs of public and private sector workers, and indeed Nigerians in general.

3. Reintroduce gratuity into the civil service. That should be a reward for serving government for at least 10 years. I wonder why it was scrapped in the first place. It was a lifeline for many civil servants. This contributory pension is not enough to guarantee anyone a good life after retirement. Imagine not being able to contribute 1million naira after over 6 years in the public service. Imagine earning 40,000 as monthly pension for a person who retired on level 14 officer in this present economy?

4. Reintroduce very low interest loans for workers. Thankfully, the creditcorp recently launched hopes to address this but just like the audio CNG buses, we are yet to see anything.

5. Lastly, since government cannot solve the issue of insecurity within a short period of time, then the little that is being produced by farmers can be bought directly by government, thereby ensuring a reliable and constant income for the farmers. Now the government should open a food bank in all the 774 local government areas (or perhaps the LGAs not controlled by Boko Haram or Bandits) and sell these agricultural products at subsidised rates to citizens. This will force the foodstuff hoarders and wicked businessmen to force down the prices of their items. Anyone caught buying from the food bank to resell at exorbitant prices should be arrested and jailed without playing politics. Also, open the fcking borders for a period of time. Let there be massive competition in the food market.

Well said Chief, well said

Baba don humble 😑😑

Easyluv2live:
Of course that is the norm in our society for long now,where have u been in coma or u re just japaring back to naija...look at me now wit 7children from 4women and i didn't pay a dime on any of them!!! The lord is my strenght, LOL hehehe

😂😂😂😂😂. You’re not serious

osmosis101:
Yes

Please you or someone you know ? How did you go about the backlash if any ?

So I have a close friend who is of the opinion that doing traditional marriage is akin to appeasing the gods of the place of your intending spouse, and as Christians, particularly Catholics, we should not, under any guise, invoke deities, whether through calling on ancestors or the use of traditional elements to bless intending marriage unions, and then come to God in the sacrament of Holy Matrimony. 

Also, he is of the opinion that in the days of our forefathers, when a man married a woman traditionally, he was allowed to take multiple women, i.e., polygamy, and that by merely returning the bride price, the man could do away with the woman and take another one. So if he marries a woman traditionally, giving him leeway to marry as much as he might want, what’s the point of marrying sacramentally in church? 

He has personally said he’ll not have any traditional marriage, whether full or miniature, i.e., a “paying bride only ceremony” or paying a dime as bride price for his wife, as a woman is not for sale or to be bought. 

My question is: has anyone successfully refused to perform traditional rites of marriage and gone only to do court and church weddings here or know someone who has? If yes, how were you or they able to convince your parents and in-laws?
