Entertainment / Re: Adewale Ayuba Beaten-up For Arriving Late At Performance Venue by betabeta: 1:50pm On Oct 29, 2012
This story is a blatant lie. I attended the said party in Ibadan. The party was meant to start 12noon and end 6pm, Ayuba's boys were on ground early enough but Ayuba came in around 5PM when the major dignitaries were leaving the party venue. Though Ayuba's boys were harassed around 3PM, Ayuba himself was not touched as the security personnel shaded him when he came in. He apologized for coming late said it was due to the heavy traffic along lagos-ibadan express-way.
Religion / Re: self-service Controversy: Pastors Blast Oyakhilome by betabeta: 1:30pm On Feb 28, 2012
Mark 7:13- Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye,

Many Christian have a definition of what is a sin and what is not, because of there own believe forgetting that the bible which is the manual for a christian have the final say.

"'When a man has an emission of Fluid, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean till evening. Any clothing or leather that has Fluid on it must be washed with water, and it will be unclean till evening. When a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of Fluid, both must bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. (Lev 15:16-18)

Notice verse 18 deals with seminal emission during intimate intercourse, but verse 16 is speaking of a seminal emission that does not occur as a result of intercourse. If this is indeed a reference to self-service, the matter-of-fact way in which God deals with this matter certainly indicates that no feelings of shame should be attached to it. He simply said, "Go take a bath."

It seems to me that if God were really bothered by such a practice, then He missed a teachable moment here in this passage. Since He clearly condemns intimate intercourse between men in Leviticus 18:22 and says "that is detestable", I think that if He had really wanted us to avoid this particular practice, He would at least have said something like "That is disgusting" instead of "Go take a bath."

self-service has been around for a long time, and since God does not clearly condemn it, I would not be too bothered with it either. self-service is practice far more than adultery or fornication yet God is practically silent on the issue. This ought to tell you that God is not overly concern with it.

However, let me caution you against addiction to self-service. Just like most things, self-service can turn into an addiction. If you find yourself constantly—several times a day—self-servicing then you can be reasonably sure that you have a intimate addiction. Paul said, "'Everything is permissible for me'—but I will not be mastered by anything" (1 Cor 6:12). This includes self-service. Also, you should never use Indecency to self-service, and if you are married, keep your thoughts on your wife. It is the same sin to make love to your wife while thinking about another woman as it is to self-service while thinking about another woman. Concerning single people, I have no advice other than a prohibition to Indecency.

If a believer uses self-service to alleviate intimate temptation that's far better than actually being tempted to commit fornication or adultery. I would rather have a man self-service than go to a LovePeddler.

Another thought, if self-service is sinful, then you would expect there to be bad health consequences to it, such as found in adultery, homosexuality, and fornication (diseases for one thing). Instead, research has found that self-service serves to release intimate tension. If a man is prevented from having intimate release, then the seminal fluids can back up, causing increased intimate tension and physical discomfort. It also increases the risk of prostate inflammation. This might explain why priests who practice celibacy and who view self-service as sinful have a higher rate of prostate cancer.

Since there are proven medical benefits to self-service, it is difficult to make a biblical and reasonable case against it.

Paul said, "'Everything is permissible for me'—but I will not be mastered by anything" (1 Cor 6:12). This includes masturbation. Also, you should never use pornography to masturbate, and if you are married, keep your thoughts on your wife. It is the same sin to make love to your wife while thinking about another woman as it is to masturbate while thinking about another woman. Concerning single people, I have no advice other than a prohibition to pornography.

Politics / Re: Sambo Tops Boko Haram’s Hit List – Report by betabeta: 12:14pm On Jul 13, 2011
luluosas:

I think the topic is dealing with the names on the Boko Haram hit list. Why are you peole turning it to Buhari affairs? Is Buhari your president? Is he responsible for the security of lives of Nigerians? Face your clueless Jonathan and live Buhari out of this nonsense.

I would have expected Buhari's name to top the list for one singular reason he choosed a christian as a running mate which i expects the Hoko Haram sect to frown at. For his name to be conspicuously missing in that list says alot. That guy (Buhari) should be thoroughly monitored.
