Maybe a ploy to give us another game 7.

Roland17:
So the league is seriously keeping CP3 out of game 1?

I think that was a pass. A misplaced pass, perhaps. . Some people would have us think he(Harden) was the most important player on the Nets.

A40:
Tough one for Brooklyn. Can't say nothing bad about KD. He played all 53 minutes

However I want to ask Steve Nash a question. Why did Jeff Green get so few minutes? Surely he wouldn't brick as many shots as Joe Harris was. Speaking of Joe Harris, what is your use if you cannot make wide open 3's game after game considering you do little else. Same thing in Game 3. The Nets will be wise to trade him and his overbloated contract.

Nothing to say about Harden. Even when healthy sef we know him way

Lastly congrats to Giannis. The man took a lot of slander and a lot of heat despite delivering every night. Say what you want about his deficiencies but we can see yet again how his supposed support cast almost let him down. You might say he has a limited bag but his limited bag still gets him 32-12 every night yet we see "skilled offensive players" like Harden choke year after year. I would be rooting for him to win the chip

It looks like nature dey try force balance here. . I mean just imagine the devastation these people would have caused if fully loaded. The Bucks barely won in 7 games.

birdman:
The way Nets loaded up, no team has loaded up like this since the big 4 on Lakers. Even that was not this bad. It was obscene, and I hope they dont load up some more next year. If the big 3 on the nets had been healthy, it would have made the playoffs meaningless and boring.

Honestly, na my pity for Giannis just make me hate KD for this series. .No mind me. Just some good-natured hating. I wouldn't care if it was anybody else. And you are correct, no other player has done it, at least recently. And I would rather dwell on what would have happened, especially in the Raptors vs GSW series, cos injuries have at different points determined the outcomes of a series.

Roland17:
Which other player has done anything without another superstar? Kawhi with the Raptors maybe? List the others make I see

No mind me abeg, i just don't like how people dey overstate him greatness, especially his value to a team. I mean if you add him to a team of a few all-stars and some decent role players, what does he look like?
Bolded: That's an excellent advise. . Partly due to the American media, and some pity for our distant brother. The disrespect to that man by the American media no be here. But it's quite simple. If you want someone to win over another, it simply means you want the other person to fail. And that's somewhat fair in sports, and KD was great regardless. but no worry i'll do better, i haven't forgotten that he made the GSW cup run over. Resepct to the slim reaper.

Android17:
The block during OT. Haba. Brook Lopez did not play 52 mins nah. KD gave his all. Make you no celebrate another man downfall. E fit be your own tie next time. I give him his dues because he tries to play the right way. It is Harden that annoys me.

All i know is that the slim reaper hasn't done much without having at least one other superstar on his team. . Honestly the man dey score. His role on GSW was overestimated. And looking at wetin Harden drop, make anybody no mention in the same breath as Curry, i mean you can be bad, but not this bad.

No, no, no please. Na only Durant dey play? He lost, Simple.

Android17:
Brook Lopez did a good job but KD was tired at the point. He could barely jump.

I no know say you still dey around ooo. . Your silence is crazy.

Then marry more than one wife, instead of Philandering about. May God help us, cos that's not easy.

Harpyeagle:
The generation is not asstrange as u make it out to..
In the time of david and solomon if the wives had so much a say...
Even as far back as the time of jacob. He married more than one wife.

What intensity.

She should have known that before those utterances and you shouldn't have brought it up. What's the point?

toren:
Tope Alabi, will always love you abeg. God has forgiven your shortcoming. Yes, she effed up big time but nothing compares. Yinka can't hold a candle to her. Tope's voice is mesmerizing.

Nice one, i respect that. 1 Cor 6:9-10. Neither fornicators nor Adulterers nor..................................... will see the kingdom of God. Besides we can still reconcile both since paying the bride price essentially means marriage. You do something inappropriate, then you rectify it. Very simple.

wirinet:
Exodus 22:16
"If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife

First bolded:I am glad that's the case for you. I suppose I am not in a position to tell you how important marriage is to our communities.
Second bolded: The post wasn't about marriage or at least it wasn't clearly stated. He said he told his parents he got a Tiv girl pregnant, and it's actually bad his parents didn't even know about the lady before he got her pregnant, as implied by his post.
Third bolded: Bros, you are married man, and i respect you for that, but bringing up your friend's scenario is not useful. Abeg no dey do something like that. 8 out of 10 times you won't marry a woman you sleep with on the first day. I am speaking for the 8 not the 2. I would say it was a terrible decision by both of them then. But well they are married now, all good. They discontinued their sinful activity. We rejoice.

Now i am talking about the duration of marriages here. You fumble by bringing this up, bros. That's a whole other thing. In that regard, i would say may God help us choose the right partners. May we be favoured with a wife that will want to live with us till the end and us them. Since you are already in it i hope that's the case for you.
Fourth bolded: Please bros, fear God, that's if you believe. The Bible clearly states that fornicators, Adulterers will not see the kingdom of God, that's quite serious if you ask, and no era can change that.
Fifth bolded: I am quite disappointed in this statement.So what's the point if our religious believes then if we can't stick to them. I am sorry but you can bring those hormones out of control if you want to. We choose to give in. Our inability to control our emotions doesn't mean they are involuntary. Instead, you could say our morality has just degenerated, but that doesn't change the status of the act.(Sorry for my insistence) Let's will ourselves to avoiding immorality.

Safe sex is giving in to our sexual emotions, which is fornication nonetheless I am not saying i am any stronger than others. May God help us.

wirinet:
I not only believe in the importance of marriage, I am happily married for over a decade.

This is not the place to bring what ifs. If you opened a tread to discuss the negative what-ifs of premarital sex believe me I would not have had a problem, but this is a post of someone happy to be marrying the love of his life.
We have seen many different scenarios. We have seen both positive scenario and negative ones. I have a colleague who slept with his wife the very first day he met her and they have remained married for over 20 years. There are also cases where men married virgins and the marriage did not last 5 years. We have seen the marriages of pastors or even G.Os fail.
My quarrel with you is why duel on negative what-ifs.


I do not necessarily see pre marital sex in this modern society as immoral, and I have stated my reasons above. You don't expect a man over 40 or a lady in her late 20s to remain a virgin. In in the old days girls get married soon after puberty and boys marry in their late teens or early twenties, so remaining virgins until marriage was easy.
Trying to stop premarital sex with religious doctrines in modern times is like trying to stop a tsunami with a wall. It will always fail. Sex is controlled by powerful hormones and those hormones don't listen to Jesus or Mohammed. The best solution is either to get married early or practice safe sex.

The Bolded. How would you know this? Only someone with a negative mind would think another person must want something bad to happen to someone else. Stating that, 'pre-marital sex is immoral is a statement of fact according to Christianity. Isn't it? That was what my argument was. I ma using Christianity? The question is what does Christianity say about it? Very simple.

wirinet:
Please learn to be happy for other peoples joy than wish them bad outcomes. The guy never told you he made a mistake. He was so happy and excited and that's why he came to nairaland to share his excitement. Don't dampen his spirit with your negativity.

I wonder why you are wishing that after a while the man would decide not to marry the lady. I know you wish that so you can say " toor" to the lady and feel elated berating her for "sexual immorality" because you are the judge of all mankind. But, it will never happen in God's name. I wish the guy a happy married life and many more happy and healthy children.

Believe me I have not read so much negative vibes to a good happy story before. You are just usinv Christianity to project your negative thoughts and energy. I really hope you find true love someday.

First bolded: I am sorry, but the Bible says so. If the Bible is silent on a matter, then you can do as the spirit directs you. In that case to everyone his own.
And you clearly missed the point. The entire post doesn't include the guy expressing the intention of marrying the lady. He was talking about telling his parents he got a Tiv girl pregnant. So you saying that i am criticizing the marriage between pregnant brides and their grooms is not true. I clearly stated that it would be Ok if they got married, in which case if the parents are properly introduced to each other, and they are faithful to one another they would be seizing from continuing in Sin. And is that not a good thing. Strive to avoid sin. Now i am stressing on Christian values because the first bolded statement is not useful.

In fact not telling your parents about this girl before impregnating her is a problem, if you are really serious about her. Now calling your parents and saying ooo, Sarah is pregnant ooo, and we would like to get you our parents to know each other is something else. I would probably not bring up the immorality of pre-marital sex cos although it is, it's not necessary. So all in all, and opposite to what you are thinking, i would like very much for them to marry. And since that guy can post this issue here, i would assume he can tell us when they get married(introduction/bride price for me is enough) and i will be happy to wish them well. Marriage builds healthier communities.

Northern Muslims not eating Pig is a command by God according to their religion. So it's not forcing their people to drink alcohol or eat pig, if they constantly admonish fellow Muslims that the Quran says, so and so you must strive not to do that. Telling people that their actions are sinful because the scriptures says so is not forcing in itself. It's a statement of fact. Now oppressing you because of this is denying you your power of choice, which is bad, but it doesn't negate the fact that the action you committed was sinful. So telling someone their action is sinful based on their religious belief is not forcing them. I am not holding a gun to his head.

wirinet:
Why should you assume everybody is a Christian? Even if he is a Christian why should you assume he follows your own church doctrine? That makes you not different from northern Muslims that forces people not to drink alcohol or eat pig. Many Christian denominations don't criticize marriages between pregnant brides and their grooms.


Maybe you did not read the post well before hitting the reply and submit button. Re read the post to see that the negative serenio you painted above is completely different from what the OP wrote. He is very happy that his parent accepted the love of this life despite her being a different tribe and also accepted the pregnancy. Is it that difficult to be happy for him?

You too need to speak for yourself. Some people even prefer to marry from their fellow family member like Abraham and Isaac. That does not mean everyone must follow suit.

Unfortunately for you, i believe in the importance of marriage and family. I am bringing in what-ifs, cos i have seen cases where the parents did not marry. We don't all criticize cos we wish others bad you know. Sorry if you have repeatedly met people who constantly do that. You are the one that has the negative mentality if you think i am pointing the immorality out to wish them bad. And please never bring up the "Judge of all mankind" stuff, cos as used by us, it's detrimental to constructive criticism. Judging others would mean i think i am better than them. But no, so the "Judge not others" does not apply here. Besides, honestly, this kind of matter shouldn't be posted here, and so if you do, all opinions should be considered.

And tagging it as "sexual immorality" is not a message for him per say. He's already done it. It's for others to know it's not morally correct to do that. Pregnancy is a consequence you cannot reverse when marriage does not result without damaging yourself(on the part f the woman). Since the number of such occurrences is quite significant, it would be correct to avoid the consequences by avoiding the immoral activity itself. Well it depends on if the audience believes in Christian values anyway. If you don't then the message is not for you. You can move on to something else.

Now the question is, do you believe premarital sex is immoral? If you do then i don't see the purpose of your post. If don't then well, it's not meant for you, sorry.

Nice to know the Yorubas can be caught in the act. One time someone told me the Yorubas don't just get caught, but they are prominent pushers too.

The first bolded. I definitely made an assumption that I shouldn't have. That the guy was Christian or something. So if he's not and he confronts me I will apologize.
my main question is, what if the guy doesn't marry the lady? Which is a possibility. Would that happy story have a happy ending?
I am talking about the institution of marriage here. If that love is any useful it must lead to it. You don't claim to love someone, impregnate them and not marry them. Not good. I hope the guy marries the lady though, wouldn't that be quite the happy ending? Now I am speaking about Christian values here. If he isn't, then it's void.
Second bolded:I am sorry, we don't all dream of the bolded. Speak for yourself. Some would rather be married to their fellow tribe member.

wirinet:
Why criticize them for which action. What you guys fail to realize is different strokes for different folks. You don't expect or impose your views on others. That's called religious fundamentalism.

This is a happy story on so many levels. It is a celebration of love and not of hatred that is common in our country today. It a celebration of a detribalize Nigeria we all dream of and not of tribal hatred.

I really respect the parents and wish more Nigerian parent are like that.

That would be wicked. We accept the consequences of mistakes too, don't we? The act was bad. What if after a while the man decides not to marry the lady? Now that's the problem. Turning the poor woman into a baby mama. Families build societies, we would be avoiding that by not engaging in premarital sex.I mean that eliminates the Baby mama. Although of course some would say you could use condoms. . The sons and daughters of men will always find a way to circumvent principles and values. We have been doing it from the beginning of time. thing. But well if a woman keeps doing that, as in sleeping with all the men she claims to love, these women become unsatisfied in their marriages. I am not here to judge the act, even though it's immoral(if you are a Christian), but i know the decisions that follow it could be devastating. So avoiding them is key. We should endeavour to lead a moral life. I am partly saying this cos it's becoming incredibly hard to find virgins these days, more like finding a needle in a haystack. . May God mend our crooked ways.

wirinet:
Children born before, during or after wedlock, it doesn't matter, as long as the parents and families involve are happy and happy to love the child.

You expect the parents to start crying and reject both baby and mother? To many negative people with wicked hearts that hate to see others happy in this country.

Although I believe she was too harsh, she wasn' far from the truth, even though she may be engaged in it herself. It's ok to rejoice with them and criticize the action.

wirinet:
Bad belle instead of your to rejoice with him you are forming holy Mary. Pray you too find happiness.

No, primarily because we play different socio-economic roles. In a world where women dominate the economy, it would probably be the case. Besides pre-marital sex is bad, and I wish he hadn't posted it. His post makes it look ok, which is not fine. I only hope he impregnated a woman he intends to marry and marry her properly. Having kids in marriage is a beautiful thing. I do not know how you can convince your child to stay away from premarital sex if you conceived he/she out of one. I am not exempting myself. We must strive to avoid it. May God mend our crooked ways.

stanisbaratheon:
Some parents can be genda bias.

What would have happened if you were a girl and you got pregnant for your boyfriend?? Would your mom still be jumping and thanking God??

I'm just curious, no pun intended

Perhaps the same reason some of them place Olajuwon outside top ten. If not for the fact that the guy was just not lucky enough to play with other great players in their prime, we could be talking about him being the GOAT. In fact it turns out that if Ralph Sampson had brought his all-star performance from the Lakers demolition in the Western Conference finals in 1986 to the NBA finals they could have won despite the Celtics featured multiple future All-of-Famers. If there's anyone that has done the most with the least, Olajuwon would be the first to come to mind. People easily place magic in top 5, even though the man played alongside KAJ. NBA analysts just no fit stay one place with their takes

joshboo:
So Orgasmic how silent Twitter was. Make Giannis just play Bully ball like he did today and stop settling for 3 pointers. It's an American thing they Just hate it so much when an outsider beats one of their own, but make it make sense and give big Props where it's due.

Exactly the same feel I got when Kamaru KO'ed Masvidal in from if his people despite the Boos and Hate.

That's a very useful question. But wait, can someone make you happy if you don't love them? Sorry for providing a question as an answer to your question. And your question on being unhappy with the right partner, that's a strange question, cos i would think being unhappy makes the other person the wrong partner unless your "right" is referring to something else, in which case these terms, love, happiness, right in relationships are not distinct, as in they overlap very well.

Juliearth:
Are you aware that you can be with the right partner and still be unhappy?

An experienced Birdie also said love is the least required elixir in a successful marriage... Having said that, if your partner makes you happy (the lack of which is a deal breaker for you), but you don't love her, would you divorce her?

Ofcourse they were gassed. I mean who doesn't want to end the series in 6 games, and avoid a game 7 when stuff can just happen. Twitter was silent last night, more like there was no game. It's obvious everyone is rooting for the Nets. That's why Giannis needs to put up a monstrous performance en route to winning game 7.

joshboo:
Its so annoying how the US media analyze these games. Nets Win KD is the best player in the world, Bucks win The Nets were gassed and hyperventilated that's why they lost.

Giannis would always be giannis, if the other guys step up as they did today, Bucks Are winning definitely.

Going by the unpredictability of this postseason, I am not so sure.

Kilishihunter:
I feel for Gianni's but if he manages to go past the nets in new York then for sure the noise and criticism would pipen down, Kd will still be Kd
So can we now say the winner from this series will be the east Champions and advance to the finals?

No mind me, still the efficient scorer that he is.

Roland17:
You kukuma too like wahala..
Pesin finish with 32/11 in 40..
Like you said, It was built for a 7 game series but the NBA could have done a better job as masking the home cooking wen una don enjoy for this series..

The unpredictability of this postseason is predictable. KD has been here, more so it's in Brooklyn, so I won't be surprised if he has another historic night. My hope is that Giannis can conjure a monstrous performance when the light is brightest, away from home. Middleton is the most important piece. Na to double, triple-team KD ooo. If he still drops 50 on your head with all that, fine. We'll take that, rather than not try . If them allow that man set, it will be a long night.

Kilishihunter:
At this point I'm even afraid for the nets cause of their opponents dominance since game 3 though I still want them to advance cause of harden and co, They shouldn't 'fear the deer' in game 7 Middleton was hugely immense sha

Ofcourse, the NBA wanted a game 7.

Roland17:
Abi I lie? Today, home cooking no be here.. E pass party jollof rice..Even u sabi say na true I dey talk.

We no go hear noise about the Slim reaper tonight. .Good. As I expected the Bucks won. Onto game 7.
But the Slim reaper get support for everywhere ooo. Everwhere just silent like graveyard. Even twitter self. . I guess that's how you know the Bucks won. The Slim reaper's "best player" tag only lasted for 48 hours. .

Giannis is so bad from midrange that his shot barely hit the rim from about 7/8 feet. Common.

You wicked ooo. Why you hate my Bucks like that?

Roland17:
Bucks 59 v Nets 48

Halftime. Credit to the Bucks on blitzing Durant and catching him high up but God have they enjoyed a tremendous amount of home cooking calls. Also, Giannis is not settling and that is an unstoppable Giannis. They are taking higher percentage shots but I expect some adjustments from Nash. I would love to see them get into their offensive schemes earlier because they are making shots too late into the shot clock. Increase the pace of this game on the offense which is ties to the previous adjustment before this one. The Slimreaper will come out aggressive but they need to knock down those perimeter shots whenever he kicks it out.. J. Harris I am talking to you..

I think that timeout was appropriate. Before the Nets switch from petrol to Diesel.
