Calm down abeg.. You re trying to make sense, but you re trying too hard.
Understand that there arr natural instincts in human beings.. Men will always want to dominate while women will often look for someone higher, but the dominant man despises arrogance and Linda Ikeji doesn't seem to be subtle about it. That is the crux of the whole episode up there. At the end of the day, isn't it a man who will eventually have to marry her if she wants to get married and these traits are based more on human predilections and less of choice. So, even if you talk from now till tomorrow, feeling like some rejuvenated female, human nature will always remain human nature.. You can't marry a man and make him act against his nature.. Otherwise, there will be serious conflict of interests.
.
Also, the way you referred to people being poor shows lot of immaturity from you. Yea, success comes with hard work, but again its only a fool that will say there is no luck in it.
Some people have been really misfortunate in this life beginning from the circumstances in which they were born, so its really insensitive and unwise of you to sit from your priviledged home and be derogatory statements about others' financial capacity.

To even ask, how much have you made yourself?

Can you save all these sermon and subtle insults for someone else? Thanchuu

amanikondo:


But a rich man can marry a poor girl.

Well, you shouldn't deliberately misunderstand me.

Linda is rich and can't marry a poor guy, she has the right. It's way different from rich ladies shouldn't marry a poor guy.

The lady counsellor is rich and is okay with a poor guy, it's her choice and she's entiltted to it

Wizkid is rich and can't marry a poor girl, he shouldn't.

That simple

truthsayer007:


Lol, abeg let us hear word. For Your Info, Linda ikeji is having a lot of suitors coming her way that are doing financially well but not just extremely rich. She is a Billionaire, (not millionaire But Billionaire) , How will she ever be humble to any man?

She's very arrogant to every guy coming her way. Her problem is arrogance Not Poor man.

If she wan talk now, She go dey mention Tyler perry. Mtchew !!! Na another person husband dey hungry am

That's a part of her life that is none of my business...

I'm going with what she publicly proclaimed... She can't marry a poor guy which she has the right to choose what she wants. She shouldn't be hushed up because she is a woman.

PeridotBelle:


Praised by what dudes, it's the reality which u need to wake up to. Gender did not render anyone helpless, that's even a funny and unfortunate thing for u to say.

The earlier you realize that all that which Linda said are just careless talks which she herself does not even buy in, the better for you.

I hate arguing with people who tend to take things too personal like you just did, so pls am done talking to you, don't waltz into my mention again.
Thanks

Ah! You waltzed into mine. Try not to get emotional... I'm not taking it personal, you got emotional. You wrote stuffs about me while responding to a praise from someone and i didn't get mushy. It was very harmless...didn't know it would strike a cord. I've not been arguing with you, from my end, I've been exchanging ideas.

If you don't have standards, you are entilled to and you can set some for yourself now.

Sorry ehn.

PeridotBelle:


Lol, maybe you missed out the part where she said if the man tries in anyway to stifle her, she will walk. That statement alone means alot!

Good you know, it's the duty of the man to provide for the woman, but Linda here is not even looking for a man to provide for her (remember that) she has more than enough for herself and because she is not looking for a man to do that for her (the role of a man you mentioned which she feels because she now has money can undertake) so, she has pegged her preference of a man that when it comes to reality, it's impossible but believes her fame can get her that

And like that Lady said, do not judge a man by what he has today, you never know what that poor man will be tomorrow

Linda to me wants to marry to fulfill all righteousness hence the too much careless talks on marriage

If you have been reading my replies, you'd see my main concern here.

If she's determined to quit an unproductive marriage, good for her. I'm not a fan of divorce and I don't advocate except in extreme cases.

My concern is the fact that she has the right to choose what qualities she want in a man and if she saya she does not want a poor man, it's her standard and she has the right to it.

It would be better if you stop analyzing her life. I'm not a fan and I've never visited her blog...like never but I hate when women are being reduced to nothing.

PeridotBelle:


Babe chill, so long as Linda is still a woman, she earned no right, she can only wish and those will never come to pass!

Ah! who did this to you? Who made you believe your gender has rendered you helpless. Are you saying this just to be praised by the dudes here Why didn't you say yes to the very first guy who asked you out or asked for your hand in marriage? Pls, do not bring up your girl child to believe they have no right.

Like I told you early the creator of mankind who made the woman from the rib of a man did so for a purpose, it was never a mistake. God could have easily molded another human in form of a woman for Adam, but he went to the great stress to causing Adam to sleep and taking his rib.

I answered this already. Pls, adress it. I'm not for insurbodination, I'm against the notion that she has no right to decide what she wants in her man.

Society is destroying the foundation of marriage and relationships and the results are what we hear everyday, divorce and men beating their spouses.

A woman knowing what she wants and going for it, is no way altering the foundation of marriage.

warmachine:


I c dz ur foolishness no get cure!....lol...lemme leave rock your boat...childish lady!..

If you can't engage me constructively and intellectually, do not insult me.

Doesn't speak well of you. Don't try to bully me with insults

danilmo:

yes ma. isoright. wen menopause knock her door she ll understand and wiseup.
compare wit man na

That's the problem. Quit threatening women with menopause... It's better to be happily single than tearfully married.

Marriage or childbearing is not the peak or the purpose of a woman's existence. It's time mothers start teaching their girl child that becoming a Mrs. is not what your life is all about.

If it happens beautifully, fine! The male spicie is not doing us any favour by marrying us.

PeridotBelle:


Meaning no matter how high a woman flies, she remains a woman who is to to answer to a man (her husband) even if the man is low!

Society did not make it that way, the creator of mankind made it so! Society is gradually trying to kill that and it's wrong because, the consequences are grave!

Oh!

Except my comprehension skill is gradually detoriating. Babe didn't in any way say she wouldn't answer to her man. She said she won't marry a poor man... She earned the right to choose, miss.

...and no the creator didn't ask anyone to marry a poor man neither did it ask anyone to marry a rich man.

Didn't the creator instruct men to provide for their wives? Don't you think a poor man who can't provide basic needs comfortably for his wife shouldn't get married else he might be going against the instruction of the creator.

So stop bringing religious sentiment into this. Thanchuu!

PeridotBelle:


God that made man to be 'man' and woman to be 'woman' never made a mistake.

Meaning?

warmachine:


I smell lack of wisdom...mtchww...u are one of those crazy women hu thinks a man is another woman...well...I don't blame you...its obvious u don't understand marriage... Thank God it was a woman that gave her that advice...you too...learn and be wise

Oh puhleeze! Spare me that.

Because she's a woman she's not free to have standard? Because she's a woman she should settle for anything. When your spicie rant about what they want, it's perfectly okay, isn't? But a woman is suppose to lower her standard.

There are better way to pass across your message without resulting to insult. You however, do not even have a message to pass across.

She has earned the right to reject a poor guy. And yes, she won't be the last woman to have standards. If it was a rich dude who made such statement, you lot would come up with a zillion reasons to affirm his claim.

Suck it up... Poor is not attractive especially to the rich even to the poor.

OBAGADAFFI:


The article was written by a woman.

Doesn't make any difference

The rate at which people plagiarize on this forum is breathtaking

There are so many things I read from the original writer or site and some from other people only to see them on NL without crediting the intellectual property to the rightful owner.

This particular one is not left out... I've read it on Facebook from two different people for over a week now.

...expect the OP actually penned it down. Stringed the words together from the scratch.

She said she can't marry a poor man, let her be. She is successful and have the right to turn down a poor guy.

When men talk about the standard they want, they don't get hushed up.

soulpeppersoup:


What is salvation? And why is it necessary?

Salvation is to save man from sin. It is necessary to restore his lost glory of which poverty, sickness are are part of.

Say the word as raw as it is. You can't save a soul, that is God's job.

What are you saying for the love of Christ? There are plenty of rich people who are not Christians
You been brainwashed and not ready to unlearn what you have leant.

People are complaining because the church was built with the little from even the poorest member of the church but now, they can't even attend the school.

You talked about scholarship being awarded to the serious ones... How do you decided who is serious and who is not? Because you compelled everyone who is of different ability, strength and weaknesses to solve the same question and you think that is the best way to decided who is worthy and who is not. Or because someone have all As and I have all Cs, it automatically means that I'm not serious while the other person is. Even if such standards are used in the circular institutions, religious institutions should know better.

A Christian institution should be a role model to all other institutions and a place of refuge to everyone not just the financially buoyant.

I try as much as possible to stay out of things like this but you would damage christianity if left alone.

Christainty is a call to salvation, Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and every other thing shall be added unto you.

soulpeppersoup:


Christianity is a call to preach prosperity. Until you know it, you cannot believe it and until you believe it, it cannot manifest.

Salvation, sir, not prosperity

Seek first the kingdom of God...pls, non believers are on this forum... Guard your words.

Lennycool:

Jesus never said anything about homosexuality. So is that now acceptable to Christians?

He did condem homosexuality. One of the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. — 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine. — 1 Timothy 1:9-10

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. (Another version called it degradeable pleasure) Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.— Romans 1:26-28

Leviticus 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."

Leviticus 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them."

1Corinthians 6:17-20 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. 18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

EyeHateGod:

Hmm liberal Christian, That's rare

How is it rare?

That is what it should be. I don't see how it's the concern of the government what two adults choose to do with their anus or whom they choose to love so long it's not posing threat to another person.

It's a moral issue which does not fall under the same offence as theft and murder. The government have no concern at all in it.

Deicide:

When it comes to the other commandments you Christians don't follow it's individual struggle but homosexuality is not I think am smelling hypocrisy here

Do not twist my words, boo
You asked if it is a sin, and I replied that it is. You asked of other commandments that are not being obeyed and I told you it's an individual struggle. And I went ahead to point it as one of the flaws of we Christians today...I even made it clear that the popular 10 are not being obeyed to latter Because they are not being obeyed does not mean we are not expected to obey them or that God would lower his standard.

They all are individual struggle.
It's a personal thing... God has made his stand clear to us in everything.

I'm of the opinion that no law should be made for or against homosexuals. No attention whatsoever should be given to them by the government. Religious institutions should however preach against it the same way they preach against all other ill behaviors condemned by the Bible.

Deicide:

What of the other 616 commandments in the Bible you Christians Ignore?

That's individual struggle.

Even the popular 10 have not been fully obeyed...Christianity is not the problem, Christianity is perfect it's we humans who have the problem.

If everyone better still, Christians choose to obey God 100%, the world would definitely be a better place.

Deicide:

Good Why? if you are not under the law why should it be a sin remember do not engage in homosexuality is not part of the 10 commandments

It is a sin because God detest it.

Because it's not part of the 10 commandments does not mean it's not a sin.

Incest is not part of the ten commandments and I don't think you'd encourage people to indulge in it.

Deicide:

Jesus refers to "eunuchs who have been so from birth." This terminology ("born eunuchs" was used in the ancient world to refer to homosexual men. Jesus indicates that being a "born eunuch" is a gift from God.

Here Jesus identifies three classes of men who should not marry women. Taking his categories in reverse order, first, there are those who have made themselves “eunuchs” for the kingdom of heaven, i.e., those who foreswear marriage to better serve God. Second, he mentions those who have been “made eunuchs by others,” an apparent reference to castrated males. But Jesus mentions a third category — eunuchs who were born that way. Some might argue that Jesus was referring to males born without testicles, but this would be extremely rare. Moreover, this interpretation ignores how the term “born eunuchs” was used in other literature of the time.

So now I'll ask again Is Homosexuality a Sin?

Thing is no matter how it is presented, you will always see what you want to see.

You agreed that the two other categories refer to those who have sworn to stay celibate and the other to those who have been castrated but those born eununch can only be referring to homosexuals.

Then we can say those made eunuch by men are those forced into being gay and those who have sworn to stay celibate are those who do not want to get married or have anything to do with a woman because of the drama attached to them which can hinder them spiritually but preffers the company of men since they are not known with drama.

Anyone can twist the Bible to suit him or herself.

It is a sin my brother.

Deicide:

Sodom & Gomorrah is the OT Now I'll ask again is Homosexuality a Sin? since jesus did not condem it?

Jesus was not referring to homosexual, he was actually referring to those who are sterile or castrated.

Haba!

Deicide:

Good Good are Homosexuals saved t0? since jesus didn't condemn it....

He did. Part of the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah

jaedswosh:
and do you want us to steal to raisr the capital to start a decent business... it isnt as easy as that. so many young men and women have business ideas and dont have anything.. i mean anything to even start up with. the banks dont help and a steady form of income is their only form of savings....... so many people only endure their current jobs just cos they are saving for another.

This is where you need information. There are many firms/foundation out there ready to help startups start their businesses with soft loan, grant or even equity.

There is AYEN, Bigportal, Tony Elumelu and so many of them.

Informations are just a click away from us...utilize the internet very well.

Lennycool:

Tricky you. But isn't the old testament part of the Bible? Wasn't it inspired by an all loving and knowing God? Are you ashamed of his actions?

Yes, it is part of the Bible but that was before salvation was brought to man kind. Everything changed after he used his blood to wipe them all away and established a new life for us.

joseph1832ng:
I talk with babes everyday, offline and online. You don't expect me to start counting now, do you?

Hell no! The list would be endless... I can't willingly punish myself. My point however, is the fact that the 'babe' is not me.

Don't you think that makes you the first Bimbo-la?

Mr, my name is Bimbola better still, Abimbola. Stop spoiling my name

Have fun gurl.

I sleep at night
Bye bye

I'm of the opinion I'm talking with a 'babe' willing to let me discharge fluid with 'ah' on her face.

I believe I'm not the only babe you've been talking with

afterall, your name is 'bimbo-la'.

Touché! Nevertheless, mine starts with a capital letter B

Lennycool:

Atleast he doesn't advocate rape slavery incest and genocide. What kind of all knowing God says don't have sex till marriage. But doesn't condemn owning another human being as property? How is premarital sex worse than slavery?

Back up your claim with a verse or verses from the NT

joseph1832ng:
And I already told you, denial is welcomed.

Go have some beer and maybe some bimbo to release fluid with 'ah' with.

Audray:
I don't care much for the rewards *which are awesome btw* But only for spreading the word to unbelievers.I just want salvation for all mankind.

Issorite!
