chaircover: The text highlighted in red shows that there is a power tussle on where she attends to law school

No you shouldn't put a stop to your dreams when you get married, but you must also bear in mind that you now have responsibilities. Her dream is to become a lawyer; her husband hasn't stopped that dream. She can still go to law school but he has asked her to go to one nearer her home and family. Surely that isnt too much to ask a married woman?

He knows the reason why he wants her by his side, maybe he is one of those weak ones or one that has a lot of women around him trying to get his attention. It is on this nairaland that I discovered that Not all men can close their eyes to temptation so why risk it in the first instance?

It is naive to assume that it is the man who will invite the strange women to cook for him; in most cases, a woman sees a gap and enters

i understand u but a human being must have self control. wat if he doesn't create d loop hole or he gives the strange woman to be no space at al? my cousin went to law school in her state and stil stayed on campus so wat re we sayin? p.s. she was married n about to deliver. she actually put to bed about 2days to her exams. wat if d woman's lifelong dream was to go to law school in abuja?

did he really warn them or advice them? cos if he warned them, i don't see any basis for it expect if he had heard from extremely reliable sources that his people want to attack the muslims otherwise i think his warning has no basis and is totally uncalled for expect if he has his own hidden agenda or he is a supporter of boko haram.

chaircover: Can I just ask something? Didnt she think about Law school before she choose to get married?

I am not bothered about the risk of infidelity because anyone bent on cheating will cheat even if the husband ties padlock to her kini, but isnt it rather selfish if her to insist on traveling half way round the country when there is a law school in her backyard? Unless the one in abuja guarantees her a better result/job prospects/experience than the one in Enugu I dont see why she has to go so far away from home.

When the husband starts having strange women coming to cook for him or tidy his house, she will scream, blue murder and say that she left home in pursuit of the betterment of the family when in fact she was the one who offered her evening meal to the cat

i'm sure that they might ve discussed this but the thought of the husband having strange women cook for him is odd! which responsible married man invite women to cook for him in his matrimonial home? or if the man were to travel to another state/country to further his education or wateva, would the wife look for another man to do the man's chores @ home? i don't believe been married should put a stop to one's dreams.

i would really appreciate it if viewers dropped their views! take care

goldylock: The problem we have is that there is no laid down rule on how to dress in the bible. Some will quote" the cloth pertaining to men" for me now but that's an ongoing debate. Exposing ur body to the whole world especially the parts that should be covered is definitely wrong. Looking good is good business I saw someone talking about nails eye shadow bla bla how do u want to look good as a woman without a lil touch up? If u r not a teenager with that fresh look plssss make up and don't go around looking like the world has just ended its an insult to ur heavenly father. Even the bible advocates it cos God asked d children of Isreal to collect gold n ornaments from the Egyptians before they left the land of Egypt. Dress well look smart look good do not expose ur body to the world n u r good to go its that simple u don't need God to come down and tell u dat when he has already given u common sense.
Forgive my punctuations please.

@goldylock, i believe u re referrin to my post but it seems u didn't understand me. i was talkin of moderation that a christian doesn't need excess makeup/fake stuffs to look good. read my post again and get back to me. p.s. when i m thru wit dressing, i always look good. i only use lipstick n eyepencil to properly define my carved eyebrows.

lestat: my brother it is really pathetic and stupid that in this day and age some really really mentaly handicapped cretins believe in ritual money?!!!!!! wadafaq?!!!!!!1
please ebere start athread on this topic namely "the falsehood of rital money"

please there is nothing lik ritual money!!! those people organs are sold on the black market for hardcurrency

and pray tell me, wat do they use the bought organs for?

[quote author=ondo_boi]@ebere1712. why not bring ur head so as to experiment with it?(no pun intended) money ritual aint fictious but real[/quote]Perfecto!

ebere1712: Only lazy and stu.pid people believe in the existence ritual money. Do you people really believe that you can kill a human being and chant some gibberish and money wud appear? Too much nollywood films makes your oily brain more oily. This imbecility at its best. I was surprised when I discovered that some Nigerians don't actually say this just to 'diss Igbo', but are serious. Makes me wonder about the intelligence of my so called "fellow country people"

is it that you don't believe in doing money rituals or you don't believe that it exists? if option b then it means you are in serious denial about dark spiritual powers.

alex406: What we wear as a christians matters alot especially in the site of our creator. This goess out to ladies that wear trousers to church. Deut 22:5 says. A woman should nt put on man garment and a man should nnt put on woman garment. All that do that are abomination unto God.

and when that passage was written, did the men wear trousers? that passage contains about 4 things that shouldn't be done and almost everyone does 3 out of them: we shouldn't do mixed croppin, build a balcony in our home, wear clothes made of mixed materials(e.g. wool and cotton) and d pt u just raised.

@OP: i believe the way we dress, our hair do, make-up and where we go matters. however, i don't believe that there is anything 'christian' dressing b'cos an average market woman can be called a 'christian' by her dressing. i don't believe in been underdressed and so typical SU sisters and brothers don't go down well wit me. as an individual, i love class, style and elegance so i always try to dress classically within my means. i don't believe christians should dress shabbily just to show they re christians. there is a way a christian can dress elegantly and stil look very decent. I don't put on trouser, fix nails, eyelashes, crazy hairdo, over makeup, wear too short/tight and transparent/cleavage revealin clothes etc but stil try to look my best. a person esp christian doesn't ve to wear spag, see thru clothes, short/tight clothes, paint all d eyeshadow/blush/foundation etc, fix all the nails, sag, dress like garage boys etc b4 we look elegant. some pple say one has to dress crazy to go for parties and clubbin and i wonder wat a christian is doin clubbing and parties. it finally lies on one's conscience. if our conscience is alive and the Holy Spirit is in us, then we would know how and how not to dress. i pray God gives us d grace not to conform to the world.

tintingz: @op, it does not matter oh. . .since Jesus christ has die for your sins and carried all your sins on his head wash them with his blood why should it be a big deal. . .you can go to church naked expose your bakassi while the holyghost is behind you watching your movement. . . Jesus is not angry with you at'all at'all he as already forgiven you with his blood . . .dance unto tha Lord helleluya!

my dear, be very careful wit wat u say. as d OP said, if u don't have anything meaningful to contribute, just exit the thread. thanks

Please I Just Opened A Thread And I Need Answers [\b]why do muslims think that the Comforter Jesus Christ Promised is Mohammed?[\b]

i've been goin through some threads now and it seems muslims have this fantasy that Muhammad is the Comforter Jesus Christ promised. I'm surprised they cling to that even when they claim the Bible is corrupted. my question is why do they believe so? i believe this thread ll help them clear all doubts that The Holy Spirit and Mohammed have no relationship/correlation. No bashing, pls let's state our points in a matured way. thanks

gidiMonsta: You're really making sense. These are the kind of christians I like, enlightened ones who don't shy away from the truth.

gidi please re-read the post u just quoted and notice the sentence above 'i am neither a christian nor a muslim but i seek objectivity' in other words, the poster you quoted is not a christian

please, i would like to clarify a point most muslims on this thread have been making: that the Comforter referred to in John 14 - 16 is Mohammed. i am really sorry to burst your bubble BUT mohammed was not even mentioned in the Bible how much more him being the Comforter expect you are tellin me that mohammed has the capacity and ability to live IN people. judging from wat Mohammed preached and wat Jesus preached, u should know that Mohammed and Jesus had no connection. As a matter of fact, the Jesus mentioned in d quran is different from the Jesus of the Bible. Jesus is just a name, the variants are joshua, yeshua etc so a lot of people bear Jesus but Jesus of the Bible is Jesus Christ; Christ means the anointed one, some places say Jesus the Christ. so once again,
Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, Allah and Mohammed are a null set. They have absolutely nothing in common. cheers

Zulele: We Muslims have no hesitation in acknowledging
that in the Bible, there are three different kinds of
witnessing recognizable without any need of
specialized training. These are:
1. You will be able to recognize in the Bible what
may be described as "The Word of God."
2. You will also be able to discern what can be
described as the "Words of a Prophet of God."
3. And you will most readily observe that the bulk
of the Bible is the records of eye witnessess or ear
witnesses, or people writing from hearsay. As
such they are the "Words of a Historian"
You do not have to hunt for examples of these
different types of evidences in the Bible. The
following quotations will make the position crystal
clear:
The FIRST Type:
(a) I will raise them up a prophet . . . and I will put
my words in ... and he shall speak unto them all
that I shall command him." (Deuteronomy 18:18)
(b) I even, I am the Lord, and beside me there is
no saviour." (Isaiah 43:11)
(c) "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the end of
the earth: for I am God, and there is non
else." (Isaiah 45:22)
Note the first person pronoun singular
(highlighted in green) in the above references,
and without any difficulty you will agree that the
statements seem to have the sound of being
GOD'S WORD.
The SECOND Type:
(a) "Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying Eli, Eli,
lama sabachtani? . . ." (Matthew 27:46)
(b) "And Jesus answered him, The first of all
the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord
our God is one Lord:" (Mark 12:29)
(c) "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou
me good? There is none good but one, that is
God." (Mark 10:18).
Even a child will be able to affirm that: Jesus
"cried" Jesus "answered" and Jesus "said" are
the words of the one to whom they are attributed,
i.e. the WORDS OF A PROPHET OF GOD.
The THIRD Type:
"And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he,
(JESUS) came, if haply he (JESUS) might find
anything thereon: n when he (JESUS) came to

[quote author=Erelu_Y]Please save me this gibberish. GCSE students' ontological argument sounds more coherent and gives much food for thoughts than this mumbo-jumbo.[/quote]dear, let me conclude this way: if u want to learn about mathematics, u consult a mathematics text and wit mathematics teacher/gurus. so also, if u want to learn/know about God, consult God's text (the Bible) and wit Solid Christians around u. take care

Abbey2sam: Dont forget that we are africans, we should for once do us "AFRICANs" not alway coping the westhern culture...in my opinion i tink in a serious relationship the lady should try and be submisive considering how hard it is out there to get a husband,a guy can always pick a gurl to marry and leave his former gurl "attitude"......

and a gal cannot dump her guy and pick another one to marry. this is one of d many problems we have in marriage! when we begin to feel that we re doin the other party a favour by marrying him/her then we don't know wat we re doing! it amazes me when men threaten their women to 'behave' else they won't marry them like marriage is a 'gift' for the most deserving person.

albacete: @op, do NOT marry her! I repeat, do NOT marry her. Word is cheap, hence anybody can conveniently say that age is just a number.

Well, age might just be a number for the man now. But what about tomorrow when he grows old? Who will look after him? (don't tell me his children because they will be minding their own families)

Remember that some women age very fast ( at a very alarming rate) when they give birth. So the woman that looks young today might pass for your mother tomorrow once she gives birth to a child or two.

And you have no way of telling if she will age faster after childbearing or not.

You have the final decision to make here, it's your life!

wat if he marries a younger woman and she dies b4 him? wat if he marries a younger woman who ages faster after giving birth? and if a woman is to marry an older man, who would take care of her when she's old?

[quote author=Erelu_Y]Physical, natural and biological sciences explain all these. Anything else to say? You still believe God (as many around the world in centuries past were made to believe) is that fairy-hairy looking and old bearded white man who seats upon the cloud? Common tell us, in a verifiable fashion, not in some mumbo-jumbo manner, who this God is. [/quote]and dear physical, natural and biological sciences told u how they were created? or why they look/behave the way they do? y their compounds/components re mixed in certain ratios? God is not a white fairy man sitting/living in the clouds. He fills everything everywhere wit His presence. It is God we live, we move and have our being. We can't see the wind or air but we know it exists and feel its presence/impact so also we can't see GOD but all His children have a witness in their spirit that He exists. if u want to know if God exists or not, pray to Him in Jesus' Name and ask Him to reveal Himself to u.

deloon: Just came across the thread... A girl once begged me on her knees not to leave her. I thought it was such a touching thing to do. I had to give in although not immediately. Few days later, I had reasons to regret....

oga highbros, y don't u tell us how old u re b4 we can give u proper advice?

Ezeufi: Your argument that islam is racially biased because people have to save so much to travel to much is futile and refuted as follows.

1. According to islam, no one has to save so much to go to mecca. Hajj is only compulsory to those who are rich. A richman does not have to save so much so he can go to mecca.
2. The black stone was there in the kaaba before even mohammed was born. The stone being black has nothing to do with african race, and as Im sure you understand that africans were called black people later in life by europeans, after the europeans discovered what they called "dark continent".
3. Islam does not have one person who is the leader of every muslim in the world. Christians have, and that person MUST be white person. (Unless you are one of those who believe that osama bin laden is the leader of all muslims). You CANNOT be a legitimate roman catholic or an anglican without following a white pope or a white king/queen of England. But you can be a muslim without following any arab on planet earth.
4. If the pope visit nigeria, he has the fundamental authority of leading the prayer as the head of the church in the nigerian church. If Imam of mecca visits nigeria he does not have any religious authority to lead a prayer in a nigerian mosque. The local imam has the authority to lead the prayer.
5. Mohamed told muslims in mecca that "go and search for education even if education is available in china". If islam was based on racial superiority of arabs, arabs wouldn't have been told to travel as far as china in search for education.
6. As I said in my early post, whenever you hear a prayer call which muslims use; be you brazilian, arab, oyinbo, zulu, maori, or whatever, that call was put together by a blackman.

I hope this will have enlighten you and see the difference between islam and christianity with regard to racial superiority.

u just highlighted the diff btw islam and roman catholism.

Sirniyeh: I invited a carpenter for a job in my house. Infact, I was sincerely amazed when I heard his spoken english. This young man performed beyond ordinary man's imagination when he assisted my son to write an essay given from school. I do travel a lot, this my son confessed that several assignments that most graduates around had helped him to do scored him woefully. But this carpenter performed outstandingly!
What a great disappointment to Nigeria education! This reminds me of when i failed out of my sec. Sch., with my failure I was still the one helping most undergraduates to do their assignment. I swear! It is not by certificate. Lets stop ridiculing the artisans because they dont have University certificate. "We can do more than what your paper can do". Thank God for internet today, every time I post I make sure I dont write bad english because I learn and improve daily. Anyway, I'm proud to be an artisan! What about you? I know a mechanic who claims to be banker online. That's self deceiption. With my O'level, I've published four books. Thank God for the grace.
When my wife was about to deliver our third but last son, the doctor called me via phone, in fact, my wife later came to tell me that the doctor was very curious to know more about me from her. Why? This is because of all medical arguments we had on phone conversation. He thought I'm a medical practitioner as well. This is what many youth of today miss, they pursue certificate but not knowledge. There is difference between general knowledge and special knowledge. I thank God today I married a University secretary with 2-1. Maybe you have roof construction and aluminium covering that you need a competent specialist contact me via saintchrst@yahoo.com. Remain blessed.

beautiful! i like ur spirit and encourage u to keep on improving. stay blessed!

lordZOUGA: what the heck do you know about God?? And please do not tell me "the bible says.." because that's God too..

u want to know wat I know about God? go outside on à cool evening and stare at d expanse of the clouds. walk through a garden and observe the flowers. Go to a beach and observe the sea. Go to a maternity ward and observe new born babies.

[quote author=D-Explorer]Don't be too defensive lass. Can you differentiate between God and god? If you can, then you'll admit that your comment isn't neccessary.[/quote]i'm not been defensive cos no one can defend God. However, it's good to state things plainly. it would have been better if d poster said that the worshippers are pathetic

chucky234: This Nigerian has taken over every aspect of lives,with so many of his agents springing up everyday and everywhere he is going to rule our sense of reasoning and way of life for a very long time if not forever.
You robb an innocent woman of her hard earned money then buy a house,car and people ask you how come you say its God ooo
As banker you deduct certain amount from people's account daily then buy an expensive gifts for your wife,she ask darling where did you get all this from, as usual its God
The Nigeria god will never see anything wrong in everything,hmmmm pathetic god I must say

dear, God CAN'T be pathetic; it's those that worship Him in hypocrisy that are! He has set His standards and it is left for us to follow. On the last day, we would know who is truly a christian or not so work out ur own salvation and be right wit God, it's a personal race.
