[quote author=openmine post=51624090]When It's All Been Said And Done by Don Moen

When it's all been said and done
There is just one thing that matters
Did I do my best to live for truth?
Did I live my life for you?

When it's all been said and done
All my treasures will mean nothing
Only what I've done for love's reward
Will stand the test of time

Lord, your mercy is so great
That you look beyond our weakness
And find purest gold in miry clay
Turning sinners into saints.
Hallelujah

And I will always sing your praise
Here on earth and ever after
For you've shown me heavens, my true home
When it's all been said and done
You're my life when life is gone...

[/quote) I love this song. Very powerful lyrics. Thoughtful and Inspiring. Makes me think deep anytym I listen to it.

If God had prevented her from going to the camp this year,she would have been abusing God ..at times we should always see situations as a way of God intervention.
RIP

You are so right. In evrything we shd give thanks and pray for a gud future. May God comfort d family. Really painful

Smh for al of u here criticizing him, am sure many of u are having guilty conscience and feel bad deep inside even if u wnt admit it, wishing u havnt lost it yet..so I understand. Pls leave him be, he's proud of his wife evryone has something or someone we'r proud and wil b happy to appreciate them openly if given a chance. He appreciates her and used it to encourage some special people that it relates to. Also he used that means to stress d fact that abstinence is a key factor for the prevention of HIV and other STDs.

Ariel20:


Did you read the post at all?

According to her colleagues the deceased had been “terribly sick” since she arrived at the camp and could not participate in some opening sessions at the camp.

He is stil right because a corper in kano camp died dis week due to rigorous exercise and stress

This is very sad, something that cud av been avoided. Not all physical and biological body nature is accustomed to stress or rigorous physical activities, especially in unfriendly and hot weather conditions. They shd look for ways to single those incapable of rigorous activities, not everyone can endure such. This is just negligence and lack of care. I really pity her and her family. May God grant them grace to bare this loss.
Pls this shd b moved to front page

The Ayaba Moremi hailed from Oyo, married to the then king of Ile Ife, a kingdom that is said to have been at war with an adjoining tribe who were known to them as the Forest people (Ìgbò in the Yoruba language, though the said tribe is believed by scholars to have had no relation to the contemporary Ìgbòs of modern Nigeria). Scores of Ife citizens were being enslaved by these people, and because of this they were generally regarded with disdain by the Yoruba city-states.

Moremi was a very brave and beautiful woman who, in order to deal with the problem facing her people, offered anything she had to give in sacrifice to the Spirit of the river Esimirin so that she could discover the strength of her nation's enemies.

She is said to have been taken as a slave by the Igbo and, due to her beauty, married their ruler as his anointed queen. After familiarising herself with the secrets of her new husband's army, she escaped to Ile-Ife and revealed this to the Yorubas who were able to subsequently defeat them in battle.

Following the war she returned to her first husband, King Oramiyan of Ife (and later Oyo), who immediately had her re-instated as his Princess Consort. In order to fulfil the pledge she made to Esimirin before embarking on her mission, her son Olurogbo was given in sacrifice to the Spirit because this is what it asked her for when she returned to its shrine.

The Edi Festival is said to have then been started as a means of celebrating the sacrifice the princess made for the people of Yorubaland. Furthermore, a number of public places are named after her in contemporary Nigeria, such as the female residence halls at the University of Lagos and Obafemi Awolowo University.

. Very enlightening. Thank u

Seun, the bolded really got me wondering....

I really don't know how to put it to you, so I don't sound out of line, but I will just let you know that it is one thing to go astray, but entirely a different thing to encourage people to feel comfortable in doing the wrong things.

This site is helping to erode the morals of the young minds here. This is a faceless forum, and as such, even children could be members and read all these stuff we write here.

With all due respect, Seun, you're someone of influence, someone a lot of people here look up to, and I think you're using that influence negatively. What do you think a young mind who is growing up would feel, reading your statement as it concerns masturbation? Would you encourage your kids to indulge in masturbation? Do you know how this can effect their mental and psychological state?

I am of the opinion that you should minimise the way you present some sensitive issues, especially when it has to do with morality.

No disrespect intended.

. I totally agree with u, thanks a lot for sayin dis. How can he say as for masturbation,dnt worry, its normal! Even though I didn't totally agree with al he said, I believe der r generational curses, though it doesn't explain all problems we av in our world 2day, not al problems ar as a result of generational curses, but dat was d least I expected. Am disappointed!

Every crime is bad according to the law guiding it in a particular place, be it white or blue collar crime, the intent and the effect is what matters, but don't forget that crime defers depending on its severity and punishment by law, in some countries drug trafficking has lesser penal measures than others, and these measures are put in place by law made by men, stealing in some of these countries has lesser punishment, same with human trafficking and " honour killing" but heavy punishment on drugs which some countries sees as victimless crimes. I am not giving a standing ovation to any one in drugs, neither am i justifying the act is a good or bad one. The countries needs to make a review on that, even leaders of war crimes and genocides are not being given such sentences so why drug?

Crime is Crime. Drug traffiking is a srz crime evrywhere in d world and its a social vice. And dey knew d possible consequences if caught, its even written boldly at d airport on arrival and on d passport. I can't begin to talk of d vicious circle of dis vice and its effect on d society. These far east asian countries know d effect of dis vice on deir society and hence d strict and inhumane laws meted out to perpetuators. Am in no way supportin deir cruel way of justice. Its inhumane, God touch deir hearts but our concern shd b obeying deir laws as dey want to avoid d consequences, its deir country. The elders and leaders in dis region where dis crime emanates frm shd look for fast means of discouragin it. Thats al am sayin

nkemdi89:

Not everyone believes in that, some people believes in death before dishonour, when you are in the street you keep cowardice aside. Not support drug trafficking though. It's not limited to a particular tribe.

. Its not limited to a particular tribe but its far. more prominent in a particular tribe, evryone knows this, there is no correlation watsoeva. I dnt get it, why dnt we jst call a spade a spade, illicit business is wrong and a crime no matter d 'good' motive for engagin in it. Some are tryin to twist and justify it by calling it hustling. How in heaven and earth is dis hustling?? So is der another term to qualify those dat engage in legal business if illegal business is called hustling? Let's condemn wat is wrong without sentiments and I think d elders, governors and whoever pple r in charge in dis region shd take dis issue srzly to curb d menace, its just to much

Lol u guys ar very funny, shouting afonja dis and dat meanwhile ur fellow kinsman is on deathrow awaiting execution in Singapore 2mor for drug peddling, instead of u guys to get down on ur knees and begin to pray to God for his soul and possibly his pardon. The guy in question here wil pay for his crime, but he's not on deathrow. Let's think pls

Someone is sayin 'why didn't dey prove that d people arrested are guilty', For goodness sakes' wat other proof do dey need. The man(amadu audu) or wateva he's called confessed to the crimes and a couple others, apart from dat it is clear from d history the man had with the woman, so he is guilty, and if the jury feels he's not, he is still a leading force to the guilty ones. I dnt jst understand why dey let him go, are der no credible witnesses to testify dat it wasnt a case of blasphemy? The perpetuators wil nt go unpunished, am sure of it, one way or d other, they wil get wats coming to them. The victim and her spouse are easy goin, dey did nothing wrong to desreve this. May God comfort d husband and d family

maj007:


That is not a typical Yoruba tribal mark. Not at all.

Tribal Bigot!!!!!!!

. Pay no attention to them, they al are shouting yoruba tribal marks, i dunno if dey'r unaware dat some other tribes have this as a part of their culture or dey'r just lukin for something with which to spite d yorubas. Lol. I dnt support tribal marks anyway, its a violation of human rights. And I think d enlightenment of this age shd change things

Imagine pple making fun and giving irrevelant statements out of someone's misfortune. The lady died and u all are makin fun out of it. I dunno if d majority here are kids or adults with immature brains. If u must make fun, fine but not in a situation like these. Instead of laughin and makin irrevelant comments why don't we think and discuss ways of curbing these evil social vices. If u take up govt positions 2mor is this d way to solve d issue, comparing tribes and laffin

What confuses me here is if these people commenting r kids or adults with an immature brain, there r even young pple dat r highly mature in their thinkin, u might think its for fun but d more u do it, d more it gets into ur subconscious and wil make one's mind hardened against others suffering and d reality on ground just for mere fun, it can even change ur thinking pattern and can affect u in day-to-day life. You av no idea if u might b in govt positions 2mor, Instead let's think of ways of curtailing these vices

Ogus are not Yorubas. They have their own native language which is not a yoruba dialect. You are confusing native yoruba dialects such as Egba, ijesha etc with Ogu. In this case Ogu isn't a Yoruba dialect but a different language of its own. Just because they are bilingual in. Yoruba doesn't mean they are Yorubas. Their blood brothers are in Benin republic where they speak the Fon dialect of Gbe languages and the Ogu people speak the Gun dialect. Please educate yourself. They are not Yorubas.

am not talkin about whether they'r yorubas or not in dis context, wat am sayin is u tryin to prove an irrelevant point by askin him to interpret that dialet, like I said der ar many dialets in d yorua lang. I may understand one and b able to pen it down but I may nt b able with another. That doesn't make any of d folks dat speak dese dialets less yoruba. That point u made is invalid

bigfrancis21:


Mr. man interpret the statement I posed to you if that looks like Yoruba to you or you keep shut forever. Gosh.

Srzly? What are u tryin to prove frm dis? An average yorubas' inability to interpret that doesn't mean egun doesn't av a history or aint interwined with yoruba. The yoruba tribe as a whole is a break down of different regions with their respective dialet and unique language. They speak dsame yoruba but each regions have their unique native dialet. The native dialet of the ijebus is different frm d egbas, and different frm d ileshas, ibadans etc. I may understand perfectly d ijebu dialet and can possibly pen it down but I may nt understand perfectly d ileshas or egba dialet, and I may nt b able to pen it down in writin like I wud do for d ijebu dialet. That doesn't make any of them less yoruba. They r all yorubas. Yoruba is very wide, d tribe, culture, dialets. So stop trying to twist or prove an irrelevant point. It doesn't work dat way. Mayb u shd go back and do a deep-rooted research on d different unique dialets and language in yoruba.

Eegun, Ijebu are not Yoruba

xcuse me, who says ijebu isn't yoruba? Where did u get dat frm? Or u just needed somethin to say? Egun is also a part of d yoruba tribe. Pls confirm and affirm wat u think u know b4 misleadin odas. Thank u

rom d percentage breakdown accordin to cnn, d percentage of white that voted was 70, for blacks 12percent, hispanics 11percent asians and other races 7percent. So can we say its as a result of d poor turn out of blacks that lead to victory of donald trump?or is dat their overall percentage population? because most blacks according to reports voted against him. I thought dey we're more than that

so because of one percent Vat, Lagos is now a no mans land.

wat he said doesn't mean lagos is a no man's land. It means people from all works of life are welcome as long as the rules are respected. Its called civility

Yea, d op is right. Consistent consumption of soft drinks for a period of time is harmful because of d high quantitiy of sugar as well as the preservatives and additives added. All dese chemicals make them harmful. Infact soft drinks such as diet coke for e.g dat contain artificial sweetners like aspartame, saccharine, acesulfame k are much more sweeter than d normal sugar and so consumin them are much more dangerous also because dey r chemicals(artificials), if consumed consistently with time

elkon:
yeah its does. by slicing it or grinding and u just open ur eyes nd apply to the eyesball .it work like hell.. u can even add malam pepe to it to get the quick results

use ur head for once, everything isn't a joke. We'r talkin about child abuse, their effects on minors and gross punishments that shd b rewarded to such perpetuators which are a threat to the society and u'r here engagin in tribal sentiments. Not like its even restricted to a particular region or place, People r evil, evil things happen. Ar u a kid? even a child wil feel terrible about this. You and pple in ur category shd reason, nt everything is a joke

Typical born-throway. These are the same people we are forced to share a country with.

Only a wicked heart can do this. Typical betrayer attitude, betraying the trust a child has for his parents.

. cud u just keep quiet if u dnt av something meaningful to say. Its nt a must to comment, everything isn't about sentiments, Ok?

You guys shd stop all dese really.. Its uncalled for and immature. Am sure u'r all adults

From all d replies av read, its obvious that everyone have their own opinion and what they feel is best. All d replies av elements of truths in them, buh d question one shd b askin as a person concerned is how wil dis favour me if I follow dis path or further or go for a secoond degree, what is my callin, what am I really best at? Wil I b fulfilled and happy with my decison? After answerin such questions, den one can take d nxt step as u feel best. But ur callin and assumed interest is first.
