Christianity Etc › Re: Can A Non Believer Cast Out A Devil In The Name Of Jesus? by budaatum: 4:52pm On Dec 04, 2019
solite3:
As long as one is not against Christ he can cast out demons in his name.
Progressive, coming from you solite3.

An atheist doctor casting out demons is casting demons out in Christ's name, just that most don't understand Christ in that sense, since most focus on the body and know Christ not in Spirit nor why Christ is the Word. No wonder camels get through needle eyes much easier than many. It must be difficult for some to imagine what (or who) might be screaming out on top of the wall in the open public square and at the city gate.

The simple will love their simple ways, I suppose, delighting in mockery and hating knowledge.

Art, Graphics & Video › Finalists Agree To Share 2019 Turner Prize! by budaatum(op): 12:29am On Dec 04, 2019
The four artists nominated for the 2019 Turner Prize will share this year's award after urging the judges not to choose any of them as a single winner.

Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Helen Cammock, Tai Shani and Oscar Murillo got together to write to the prestigious prize's panel.

They said they wanted to make a "collective statement" at a time when there was "already so much that divides and isolates people and communities".

The judges agreed and revealed the move at Tuesday's ceremony in Margate, Kent.

They do. US$1.05 Billion worth in 2018. But smuggled no duty no tax petrol is cheaper so why buy legally imported?

Islam › Re: Muslim Boy Prayers In Front Of RCCG Church by budaatum: 11:49pm On Dec 03, 2019
GeoAfrikana:
The guy is probably an illiterate who doesn't know the difference between a church and ordinary building. He probably couldn't read the logo and the building looks like an ordinary building.

That said, it's illegal for anyone to do that. A Christian shouldn't go and pray in the mosque and a Muslim shouldn't go and pray in the church.

In fact it's illegal to preach in the vicinity of other religions' sacred ground.

Unfortunately, the typical Nigerian practices only deontology. You see many folks going around with megaphones in front of other people's worship places even during prayer times. This is unethical.

In a nutshell, I don't support what this boy is doing.
There is no law saying a Muslim must not pray in a church or a Christian must not pray in a mosque, in Nigeria, at least, but there is one against bearing false witness or blatantly lying, I'm certain.

And for those wondering, a Christian can pray in a mosque. Just that you might not do wudu and people might frown, but your wudu or not is between you and your God and no one else and God should hear you wherever you pray unless you want to claim not so instead of admitting your prayers are, incorrect.

If he comes with something new on this again, I might not waste my time commenting on it.

My people have a saying that “too much words aren’t in an evening conversation”

I’ve given him enough advise already, likewise you.
That should be enough for him, if he really needs help.
"If he really needs help", is exactly the point, and much has been given him including employment/earning offers, but here we still are. Thankfully, it's easy to know if he starts learning because when he does he'd change his name.

I'll keep on at him, and hope.

There’s no doubt, you are right.

But I’m of the opinion that you can not have a temporary solution for a permanent problem (eg.addiction)

Confessing and Church and all that wouldn’t make any impact on him; it’s the same as using makeup to cover rashes when you actually need medication. He will still gain the trust of the supposed support group in the name of “born again” and get back to his old ways. He needs a mentor; someone to control him and teach a new lifestyle and that will take a long time to sink in.
It’s like a dumb child going to tell everyone that he doesn’t t learn and bla bla bla. But what the child actually needs is attention. Get the child a private tutor and you will see the magic.

I think he should heed to first comment which is my official advise.

Thanks!!
He did open a thread seeking an adoptee where I suggested he'd probably scam them too.

He's not a child. He'd get a mentor in gamblers anonymous and church too, who won't lend him money because they'd know what he's like, and he might eventually abhor the shame if he yahoos. But I hope he heeds your better advise, though I expect a new thread from him soon.

Forward77:
I might have done that, but what do you suggest he should do?
Go gamblers anonymous or church. Both will make him confess so everyone knows not to lend him money. When he becomes part of a community he'd learn to stop being selfish and begin to love himself.

Alternately, write "I am addicted to gambling" on a teeshirt and wear it in the neighbourhood for a month or so. Shame will cure him of his "volition", though, by his history, he'd probably just move on to where he's not known and yahoo all over again because there'd always be people who would say he needs love when what he needs is a kick up the ass. After all, he's seen the destruction gambling has already done to his gambling dad, himself, and poor mum whom he kicks around, and he did advice us to learn from his mistakes, so why isn't he trying to learn from his mistakes?

But that's me. I'm actually surprised at the amount of love op has continued getting in numerous threads on NL - I've below struck out an example him lying to himself. Go read some of his threads if you haven't. You'd be much better informed to maybe change his life.

I was modest going into the higher institution at first. I wasn't happy with my poor status so I decided to try out alabi. I wanted to live large like other campus guys.


I probably didn't yield to mumsi's advice. she didn't have enough but did not joke with school fees. she sold some wrappers to raise 45k (I inflated what was needed) for the fees.

I think the foyer would be better if it were as long as the breadth of the main lounge, though probably don't matter since it's ground floor. I'd consider making the dining room bigger though and extending the foyer across the entire front, or at least flush with the foyer.

When you’re been deprived of love as a child, 7/10x it makes people go haywire when they become adults.
The story is not complete. Because there’s no smoke without fire.

That’s why i deduced from his actions, reactions in words that he needs love.

Love goes beyond give him food and taking care of him and all that. He needs to be understood and it’s obvious nobody is understanding him out there and that’s why he ran to Nairaland
You might be basing your opinion on this one thread. I suggest you read his other threads.

not of my own volition. it's my addiction
So, not your responsibility, since something propels you to behave as you do? lilmissfavvy suggested prison. I'd advise you not to wait till someone reports you and go straight to hand yourself to the police. Your addiction can't addict you when you are locked up, though it would not surprise me you can play baba-jebu in jail, but at least you'd only have your fellow prisoners to scam, and they are likely to dish you some prison justice.

Must say its a new one though, and irresponsible that your addiction makes you yahoo and beat your mother and scam your father and those who'd help you. Have you tried Alcoholic Anonymous or an equivalent for gambling? AA don't just treat alcohol but addictions in general or they'd know where to send you.

And take Tony142 and advice in general. You tend not to!

The way these Buhari goons are going, I really pity them. These idiots are so power drunk, they forget the temporariness of their stay in power.

I verily say that many of these bastards parading themselves as today's men would be enshackled and sentenced to life imprisonment in a future administration. They set the precedent. Others would outdo them.
I know! "Power drunk Buhari's goons" going after crooks we all know have been stealing our national wealth thereby keeping us in perpetual poverty and servitude instead of using it to help us develop and progress. Imagine 4+4+4 chopping corrupt politician heads off a la China and hope democracy wakes you from the nightmare!

Thankfully, they actually are our own Federal goons going after crooks, and as you point out, if "today's men" are found to have been corrupt, they too would be "enshackled and sentenced to life imprisonment in a future administration" hopefully with the diligence of Buhari's power drunk goons.

And if that is Buhari's legacy, sai bubu next level 4+4 I pledge to Nigeria my country!

Hmm... I'm repulsive because of what I just did. My mum started with her rants again. She insisted I give her the 1500 naira she used to buy fuel for 5 days for the IPassMyNeighbour . We've been experiencing power outage for 3 months now.


I ignored because I have nothing to give her. Although I promised to pay but couldn't meet up. She noticed I was using an earpiece and ignoring her. She pushed my new phone down (worth 30k). The screen cracked in the process. I was made with rage. She noticed and fled to her room. Without premeditation, I went after her and pushed her down. Hmm... The biggest mistake I made out of anger and due to the fact that I'm short-tempered.

I feel bad like the other time I blew her. I had made a decision to avoid her to avoid this situation but she keeps crossing my path. Phewww... Thank God nothing happened to her. I still care but I'm allergic to nagging.
This child seriously needs help!

It's amusing how you libs think, whenever something bad happens, it's only Trump that is to be blamed but when something good happens, the credit should go to his predecessors. Your hypocrisy is glaring.
I'm not amazed you don't think at all or opinions that don't agree with you would not blindly be labelled what you might be.

Personally, I think taliban was not a top priority of Obama and his approach was containment and not defeat, and the taliban sure weren't prepared to negotiate on any terms he could propose. Trump on the other hand, with the past in consideration, is now better placed with a more appropriate attitude with which to deal with them. Though, imo, taliban don't do deals!

As for blaming trump for things thst go wrong. Time in the end would tell.
