was it Chad that helped us create Boko Haram? why should Chad be wasting their little resources on an organization that was created by us for political gains? next time we should learn to flush out terrorist at their early stage even if they are our children

Bros if you don’t know something just read comment must you comment, Boko Haram is not in Nigeria alone it’s an African Islamic set ideology let me give you example if you have ride okada before I bet you that majority of okada riders are not Hausa Nigerian you know most are chad Niger but they look Hausa so to further blow your mind in Lagos 6 out of every okada rider are once or present Boko Haram members take it or leave

Sometimes I wonder why God created them.
I hate the way they look, the way they move and their actions/results.


Anyway,they are good for snake skin shoes and bags.

God created them to balance the ecosystem by controlling the population of rodient like eg rat

hello guys, i have applied for american visa for about 3 times now the last time was with my family, we are 4 in numbers am in my mid 30's we wanted to go for Christmas vacation our interview was 10 December the V.O ask why traveling this month when i know fare will be high and i said i got discounted booking but he refuse that was in 2017, now i want to apply alone for a 7 day course, i have travel to both Dubai and Russia for world-cup since after the last refusal making my travel history 5 countries my question is whats my chances?

I have often been puzzled by something missing from the Bible: marriage ceremonies.

Although lots of people are married in the Bible, there are no descriptions of any ceremonies. Adam and Eve are “married” simply by the fact that they are made for each other and they procreate. Jacob marries Leah by mistake, which happens not because of a disguised bride at a wedding ceremony, but because he consummates the marriage in the darkness of a tent. Jesus attends a wedding in Cana which consists of a family party, but no ceremony is described.

The only “ceremony” I can find in the Bible is Tobit 7:12-14 in which a father places the hand of his daughter in the hand of the husband, and then writes a contract.

The reason why there are no marriage ceremonies in the Bible is because marriage did not involve a ceremony. Marriage in the Bible simply consists of a man and woman, with the consent of the woman’s father or guardian, living together and attempting procreation.

No vows, no priest, no ritual, no prayer, no pronouncement, no license, no registration.

This is quite different from how we define and enact marriage today.

Today, for a marriage to be “real” it must be legal; in other words, it must be recognized by the laws of the state and registered with the state.

Also, for many Christians, a marriage is not a “Christian marriage” unless it is officiated by a credentialed minister who makes a verbal pronouncement, preferably in the presence of the congregation.

But these are all recent innovations. For most of human history, marriage has simply been an agreement, recognized or arranged by the immediate families, for a man and woman to live together.

Marriage as a legal institution, and as a religious ceremony, began as a result of the Reformation.

Beginning in the Middle Ages, churches kept records of who was married to whom. But Luther viewed marriage as a “worldly matter,” and so he turned over the recording of marriages to the state.

Calvin believed that for a marriage to be valid it needed to be both recorded by the state and officiated by the church.

The Catholic Church did not require marriages to be officiated by a priest until 1563, and the Anglican Church did not get around to making this requirement until 1753.

So for the past five hundred years there have been, in the European tradition, three kinds of marriage: legal, religious, and social. But social marriage, strictly speaking, is the most biblical.

What would happen if the church today were to once again recognize social marriage?

It would mean that couples living together, particularly those raising children, could be treated as married even if they are not legally married or have not undergone any kind of religious ritual.

Indeed, during most of history, society as well as the church would have regarded such couples as married. Since a growing number of couples today are choosing to live together and raise children without a ceremony or legal license, it may be advantageous for the church to look more kindly and inclusively upon them.

Otherwise, we will alienate these couples and they will not benefit from the guidance and support of the church.

This does not mean the church should stop advocating for religious ceremonies and legalized marriages. These innovations have important purposes.

A public ceremony that includes vows and prayers makes the couple’s commitment to each other clear, links the couple’s love to the sacred story of God’s love, and gives the community and congregation an explicitly supportive role in helping to maintain the marriage.

A legally recognized marriage gives the couple various rights and benefits, provides additional stability to the relationship, and protects both spouses and children in case of divorce.

The church supports marriage and family the best, I think, when it recognizes that couples who intend to share their lives together represent a type of marriage.

I do not know why an increasing number of couples in our society are choosing not to legally marry, but we are doing them no good by rejecting them.

Let us instead welcome them, treat them as if they were married, and advocate for the benefits of public religious ritual and legal status.[color=#006600][/color]

I detest the way some Nigerians reason we are so tribalistic in nature sentiment and uninformed thank God the writer said it’s an opinion, please tell me how the Igbo have suffered in the hands of Buhari, what has Buhari done to be hated like this Jonathan ruled for 6 years what did he do in iboland or what did Obasanjo did during his tenure was it because Kanu want to cause a civil war and Buhari help save the lives of innocent Igbo by taking the matter seriously? The tribal war going on in the middle blet and north is still because of this tribalistic and wicked greedy attitude of people from all ethnicity, if we want this country to move forward we should drop all this ethnic differences and if you think your people are being marginalized present a better and credible candidate to represent you, you talk about the president forgetting the kingsmen you elected as governor doing noting with your own share of allocation and jumping on the president as if he control activities in your various state look hold your governor responsible federal is responsible for federal infrastructure why governor are responsible for state development that’s why the get allocated funds I hate the guts of some Nigerians the way they reason

BedLam:
I hate people who listen to them say , them say. You don't Judge people base on someone's stupid judgement especially when they are Nigerians. Nigerians have a way of painting a minor issue with brighter colors and associate every mishap with hate, even if they didn't do the right thing.

I just landed in Moscow with bunch of other blacks with no issues. I tried to buy water with my card fromwork but this nice Russian assisted me and he paid with his own money.

Please no one should quote me and ask me anything comes concerning my trip.

Hello guys,

I know that majority of the people on here are into mini importation and may not need this sort of information or find it valuable. I also know that many on Nairaland mainly import from Europe and America.

Further more, I am also aware that most of the recommended shipping companies in the mini importation threads are like middle men, who add 1-2 dollars per KG on the cost of your goods than what the real companies handling your shipping charges.

What if you need to import a container from China after discussing with manufacturers on agreed quotes, which shipping company can handle a container load of products? Where is their office located in Nigeria? Can you recommend any one that is trusted?

Please help push this on front page for wider views.

It’s very simple you will just rent 8 Chinese Agberos to help you carry it follow Sahara desert to Niger then to kaduna and finally Lagos I bet there money is very cheap

Finally picked my passport this afternoon. Visa issued (I just felt I can't be denied UK business visit visa desoite never submitting my bank statements).


Imagine these guys did not send me any email despite paying for priority service and even sms alert. I just took leap of faith and walked into their office this afternoon.

Pronto, my passport was there and the guy at collection was saying it arrived yesterday. Imagine o, since yesterday. If I had relied on their email, I might have missed my travel (which is this weekend).

These TLS people no try at all. Imagine if I was waiting for their email or sms, tomorrow the last working day before my travel.

Did you get decision email from Sheffield? Cos I only got decision email from tls twice and the 3rd said passport ready is this how everyone get it?

harry41:
Did u use priority?

Not at all it's standard but with invitation for a training to take place at November 13

Jarus:
Was your email from Shefield or TLS?

From tls

Brightingsus:
Dear Sir/Madam,

Sheffield does not really send a decision email. TLS mostly does. To know if Sheffield has made a decision on your application, you would have to use your GWF no and track it on their website. Tracking shows decision made before TLS sends out the decision email. So expect no decision mail from Sheffield anymore. Once TLS sends you collection email, which is usually within/after 24 hours of decision mail, go with your credentials.. Finish.

Oh thanks I was worried I was thinking Sheffield and tls are supposed to send me decision email I never knew they have changed to allow only tls send decision notifications

Why can't someone answer my question please help is it possible to only get decision email from tls and not Sheffield and visa approved, I am applying for a renewal

Jarus:
but you this today nah. Did you expect tje second email to follow immediately?

I was expecting decision made from Sheffield before tls
