MisterGrace:
Why are you this pained? Go and drink water.

It's obvious you have nothing intelligent to say, so you have to resort to Ad hominem attacks. It's possible to like CR7 and still NOT hate Messi or vice-versa. You would do yourself a lot of good if you don't let hatred consume you. Good-luck.

frankmoney:
Lol Messi was too desperate , trying to catch up with Ronaldo that's why he missed the penalty

Messi isn't an excellent penalty taker and that's why he missed. Not everything is about Ronaldo

MisterGrace:
You forgot to add that Ronaldo has a heart of gold. Everyday he helps thousands of people across the planet to find their feet and put smiles on their faces.

I mean every single day.

More than half of his wages goes to charity every week.

He auction one of his Balon D'or just help save a life.

Tell me if he's not the greatest of the two.

Not some stingy midget.

You think everybody that gives to charity likes to announce it to the whole world? So if I don't publicize my givings, it means I'm stingy? How would you even feel if someone helps you, and they start to announce to the whole world how they helped you?
If you like CR7 fine, but don't come here to say ridiculous things just to prove a point. It's very childish and unnecessary

I've always wondered why people especially celebrities find it easier to reply negative comments rather than the positive ones.
There are tons of people praising & complementing them on their page, but they will never acknowledge such people.
Its the trolls they always choose to respond too.

Nawa o

You're funny bro. Is it possible that a mojo actor wouldn't have been measured before? Beside how do you know if theirs is natural?

JennyOfOldstones:
Bravo! I love this thread. The Cinderella mentality has been instilled in most women since they were girls so it's difficult to realize that Cinderella is just a fairytale. Rich men don't marry poor girls too because of her family
The poor girl may not even be a demanding person but her family might be full of leeches. No rich man wants the responsibility of taking care of his immediate family and demanding extended family.

Very true. Too many Naija girls have this fairy tale mentality.
What many of them don't realize is, not every girl is destined to marry into wealth.
Same way not every man can marry a very beautiful lady even thou we all want to. There are average looking ladies everywhere and somebody must marry them.
But Naija girls aren't willing to compromise and settle for a guy who's financially average (including the average looking girls)
Is it not a woman driving an SUV that just commited suicide in Lagos last week despite her apparent wealth & comfort?
In relationships, compatibility & contentment are very important.

Kenkaniff:
Who wrote this trash??
Na who wear shoe know where e dey pain am besides coming to think of it,guess it's ideologies such as this,that sinks the world in despair.
I'm from a rich background but married a broke lady and I'm having the best things of life that money couldn't buy that my family has given me yet my wife provides it all.
Money is not everything.
Take down this self righteous article.
Who get sense make them hear simple!!!

Self righteous article? But if it's a girl that writes it the other way round (which happens here on NL everyday), you don't see anything wrong with it ba?
Besides the author didn't say if you're rich, you must not marry a broke girl no.
His simply giving reason why rich guys don't like to marry broke ladies.
Your wife might have been broke financially, but she wasn't broke mentally and charcater-wise otherwise you won't have married her.
Also when a girl uses the word "broke guy", she's strictly referring to the size of his pocket.
When a guy uses the word "broke girls", we are generally referring to not just their bank account but mostly their mentality (eg the leeches & the vultures)

popweezy:
ME I CAN MARRY BROKE LADIES HO. AS FAR SHE IS NOT BROKE UPSTAIRS. NO PROBLEM

Exactly bro. As far as your brokeness doesn't transmit (I mean transmission transfusion ) from your pocket to your brain, then we are good.
Many girls are not just financially broke, but they are also mentally broke. Those are they type I can't associate with.

Metuh:
It perfectly fits into my rants.

A lot of Nigerian celebrities model and show off expensive clothes and products given to them too but people like you will start shouting them fake lifes and poverty mentality.

It doesn't because this wasn't gifted to Nadal, he's under contract to wear the watch every single match he plays. It's not the same thing as being gifted an expensive product which you can always sell off if you want.

Kokaine:
If you are given a million naira for free, what exactly would you invest it on? How long do you expect a turn over, and what risks and challenges would you encounter?

Invest in ko-kaine

Mikeiron78:
Nigeria just loves to calculate items in foreign currency and translates to Naira as if the person spends or gets paid in Naira. That watch was a gift from the manufacturer as a promotional item.

Exactly. You can't earn money in one country and be calculating the money with the currency of another country when we don't have the same kind of economy or purchasing power.
Having N200m while living in Nigeria, is not the same thing as having N200m in Europe or America. The money will finish a lot faster over there.

Metuh:
Do you know how many Black/Nigerian celebs that were presented with gifts too

That wasn't my point thou was it? Besides if you're given a gift, you can always sell if off for cash if you feel it's unnecessarily expensive & flamboyant.
You can't sell a product given to you via endorsement. Nadal has to wear the watch whether he likes it or not. So you can't use this scenario to make your point.

Metuh:
Were it to be a black man or a Nigerian, hate comments would have filled everywhere.

Mental Slavery is by choice indeed.

A picture of Mark Zuckerberg was posted here yesterday and a lot of comments start badmouthing Nigerian billionaires.

What most of these black Nigerians fail to realize is that everyone has one or two things they are obsessed with.

Hypocrisy will kill us in this country.

Nadal didn't buy the watch thou. It was given to he as an endorsement. He's a fairly modest guy compared to other athletes.

Israeljones:
I witnessed this first hand no hearsay....
This Story never left those who witnessed it that night and those newbies who met the story still see it like a soap opera...
Terrible night for that niccur

That's why one should avoid materialistic girls at all costs

VannywealthDesi:
This is completely false. God does know everything before they happen. Even thoughts your are yet to think or imagine he knows. The one who created everything out of nothing has His design already. But He has given his creatures the freewill of choice. Angels were tested in eternity and some failed. We are being tested in time. And the instruments of these tests on we humans is those rebellious angels. God in His own sovereign will has put certain things in place and has said, " if you do this, this is what will happen to you. But if you do this, this is what you'll reap". He was, is and is to come. Saying He doesn't know what choices you'll make is limiting Him.

Ok so he knew Adam was going to eat the Apple and he still put it there and told him not to eat it?
During the time of Noah the bible clearly stated that the wickedness of man was so much that God "regretted" creating man.
So God knew what was going to happen and he still created man just so he can destroy us?
Did God know Lucifer was going to become Satan? If yes, so you are saying God intentionally created Satan so he can unleash havoc on mankind?

ElsonMorali:
And where in the Bible does it say that something can be done outside the will of God?

It's hard to believe you're not trolling, but I'll reply you anyways

Deuteronomy 30:19 - I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live

Deuteronomy 30:15 "Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster.

ElsonMorali:
If these aren't God's will are you saying that God is powerless to stop these deaths?

Are you an atheist? Because I think I'm starting to understand where you're driving at. A quote I heard in a movie just came to my mind

“If God is all-powerful He cannot be good, if God is good He cannot be all-powerful!”

– Lex Luthor in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice

Is that the point you're trying to make?

ElsonMorali:
You are the close minded one who believe absolutely whatever his pastor says.

Open your mind and free your mind. okay?

To suggest that anything can happen outside the will of God is to say that God's knowledge is deficient or his might is deficient.

If God is all knowing (and He is) didn't he know that Adam and Eve will eat of the fruit of the garden?

If God is all powerful why can't he kill the devil now and stop him from tempting people to sin and causing hardship for mankind?

Go figure.

You've been dodging my questions all day. Where in the bible did it say nothing can be done outside God's will?
With your last 2 questions, I don't even know the point you are driving at honestly

chukzyfcbb:
Not evrrything is Gods will Mr!

The problem with equating everything to Gods will is that it throws away FREE WILL.
We were made in the IMAGE and LIKENESS of GOD. If you don't understand what an image is, think of it as a computer inage(iso). Where you rip contents of a CD and store into a flash.

Although the medium storing the content is different, but the content is the same. If your God isn't a robot why would you think Man has no free will


In genesis 6, the Bible says God saw the wickedness in mans heart and he was greiveing that he created man.

Now will you say God never knew Man would bring him so much pain? If I decide to go by your analogy of saying everything is his will, then what do you make of that verse of God regretting creating man?

Our God knows everything, he knows the starting and ending point, the summary is he knows the consequences of your actions he just DOESNT IMPOSE them.
In your words, everything is encompassed in his knowledge but not in his will

If everything's is playing according to Gods will, why would God have regretted creating man?
Why would the disciples have gone to preach salvation for man to choose?

Simple, we were born with the power of FREEWILL. some of our life actions is as a result of FREE WILL, QED!

Exactly. How can you regret something you obviously knew it was going to happen? Unfortunately some people just choose to follow religion blindly!

ElsonMorali:
First, how do I know it's God's will? Because nothing happens outside of God's will. That's how I know.

Second, death is not evil. Real life begins after death.

Third, expected end? I guess you're assuming that the phrase expected end means expected death?

Wrong! How many humans who ever die knew exactly how and when and where they would die? Or are they all sinners who die unexpectedly which is majority of all human beings?

Get real and stop misquoting the Bible to fit your own or your pastor's narrative of who or what God should be like.

You'll need greater spiritual clarity to understand what is meant by expected end there.

Where in my post did I imply that evil means death? Where in my post did I impy that expected end means death? How can you take my statement and turn it into whatever you feel like just to suit your argument?

I remember saying evil things such ISIS, Boko-haram, homosexuality, incest, rape, genocide, murder, fornication etc. You can't tell me when these things happen, it is the will of God even when God clearly told us in the bible that such things are evil
God clearly spelled out what is good and what is evil and you're telling me when evil happens, it it the will of God?

Where in the bible did it say nothing can be done outside the will of God? Even Jesus said "thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven" what does that tell you?
God clearly instructed Adam not to eat the apple, lest he dies, and you're still saying it was God's will for him to eat the apple? Does that even make any sense to you?
You need to stop being so close minded, you won't gain anything from it.

Jeezuzpick:
Since we're talking religion, OK, here goes:

Remember God told man not to eat of a particular tree saying he will surely die if he did? Well, man disobeyed and death became part of life.

Well,

One thing God will not change is His own word. He gave an instruction and clearly spelt out the consequence of disobedience. God will not bend His own rules. That's why He is God and not man. The Bible says He will not repent, which means He will not go back on His word.

Hell is simply the starkest reality of life without God. Nobody is "condemned" to hell. It's all free will.

Are you a Christian? Do you want to know the real Truth? Let God show you by Himself through His Spirit by His word. Never, repeat, never let men interpret the word for you.

Read it for yourself.

Peace.

Yet some people are saying it was the will of God for man to eat the forbidden fruit. How some people reason baffles me gan.
How it be God's will for so much evil and suffering to happen to mankind yet they still say he's all good, loving & kind.
God gave us the power of choice, he doesn't impose his will on man, but he can decide to intervene in some cases.

hopefulLandlord:
Being clairvoyant falls under being omniscient bro, you're just confusing yourself

You're the one confusing yourself bro. If you want to make points, bring facts to back them up rather than just stating your opinion and passing them off as facts.

ElsonMorali:
Looooooollllll. I can't laugh abeg. You are very ignorant of the terms you're using.

Clairvoyance is a big word, but it shouldn't be so difficult to find out the meaning even if you're not involved in the occultic.

Go and find out the meaning of clairvoyance ok?

Just a hint, clairvoyance can never be used when you are referring to God.

And Omniscience can never be used when you're referring to any created being, be it man or angel.

You have a long way to go.

It's funny how you've typed about 13 paragraphs already without even making a single point. I don't see any point in continuing this discussion to be honest

ElsonMorali:
I just have a question for you.

I guess you're still quite young right? If God Wills that you sleep tonight and not wake up tomorrow, is that untimely death or not?

How can you tell if that's God's will or not? Maybe I don't know what God's will is, but here what the bible says in Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Note the keyword "expected end". God has an expected end for all of us, it doesn't mean that "expected end" is going to come to pass.
God said "expected end" he didn't say "definite or certain end"

ElsonMorali:
So you are saying that God does not know everything. That means he isn't Omniscient.

Is that what you mean? Because that's blasphemy.

Omniscient means all-knowing, omniscient doesn't mean clairvoyance. People should understand the difference. Are you saying God put the forbidden fruit in the garden knowing fully well that Adam is going to eat it? Are you saying God created Lucifer knowing fully well that he's going to rebel against him thus giving rise to the Satan we all know?
Understand the difference brother, God knew exactly what will happen if Adam ate the apple (that's omniscience). God didn't know if Adam will eat the apple or not (that's clairvoyance).
God created Lucifer and the other angels (that omnipotence), God didn't know Lucifer will eventually turn into Satan (that's clairvoyance)

ElsonMorali:
Just one question for you. Do you believe that God is already in the future and knows exactly everything that will happen in the future?

If he does why did he create Satan if he knew that Satan will cause havoc?

When you've answered that then your eyes will be opened.

No he doesn't. God knows the expected outcome of everything, e.g he knows what will happen if I go left, right, front or back, but he doesn't know which way I'm going to go (only me know that)
He knew what will happen if Adam ate the apple, but he didn't know if Adam will eat the apple or not, otherwise he wouldn't have put it there in the first place.
Which means God has a will and plan for everything, but not everything goes according to his plan. There's this post I saw on Facebook in 2016. When I find it I'll post it here

ElsonMorali:
To say that some things are outside God's will is to deny his power over all things.

He has the power to influence anything that happens here, it doesn't mean he uses his powers all the time. Was it God's plan for Lucifer to rebel against him?
God gave us the power of choice, I can decide to jump into the Lagos lagoon today and there's absolutely nothing anybody can do about it, it doesn't mean that's God's will or plan for my life.

femi4:
All powerful, All knowing yet he gave man a will to choose.

That he knows about some events doesn't mean he approves them

God was aware that Cain killed Abel, it wasn't his will that Abel should die, but he was aware

Please help me tell them. How can they say it's God's will for things like ISIS, Boko Haram, Ritual Killing etc to happen. Yet they are still saying God is good, loving, kind, merciful etc That makes no sense if it's his will for evil things to happen to us.
God does not have a hand in every thing that happens here on Earth. That's why we sometimes pray for "God's Intervention"

ElsonMorali:
Blasphemy.

Every death no matter how gruesome is accommodated in God's will.

Nothing that happens in this life is outside the will of God.

That man is a fake. You better change your church. He doesn't know what he's speaking about.

To suggest that some things can happen outside of God's will is to suggest that God is not Omniscient or Omnipotent. That is blasphemy.

bellazz:
this is man just spew rubbish.... All things happened according to the will of Almighty God.. be it Good or bad as we humans may perceived it... but believe me or not... everything happens for it's goodness which may not seem apparent to us as human.. be it the death of toddler or old, promising child or retarded ones.... sleep death or painful ones.... All are from the wills and knowledge of God Almighty.... Beware of what you read and watch... thanks
Yoruba will say... ALAPADUPE NI OLOHUN.... meaning God Almighty is the one who kills and we Appreciate.

God does not impose his will on mankind. Abi did he intentionally create Lucifer so he can turn him into the devil and unleash evil on the world?
Was it his will to make Adam to eat the forbidden fruit so he can curse mankind and make us suffer?
To suggest that everything that goes on in this world including evil such as ISIS, Boko-Haram, Rape, Murder, Rituals, Adultery, Incest, Homosexuality etc is the will or God?
God does not have a hand in every single thing that happens in this world except you're saying God wishes us evil?
You guys should stop this "will of God" thing. Not everything that happens on this earth is the will of God

karlboss:
Sorry I just felt like digressing a bit
I want to use your own Bible to tell you something different there is book called Esdras( though it was removed). He asked an Angel an interesting question. 2 Esdras 5 vs 43-44
I replied, but couldn't you have created all human beings those present, past, future so that they live at the same time, in that way you could have your judgement sooner

44
He answered the creation cannot move faster than the creator and besides the world pwouldn't have been able to hold everyone if everyone has been created the same time

This simply means death was in God's plan from the beginning

I always ask these question let us say Adam didn't eat the fruit and there is no sin, will lion eat grass because there is no death. Will human not eat meat

God created death for every living thing Adam sin did not bring death. The enemy didn't do anything, whether you live dangerous or holy we must die. Even if God and Satan forget your matter and you live for 1000 years you must still die.

So God created Adam and intentionally made him eat the forbidden fruit so he can curse us?

ElsonMorali:
Blasphemy.

Every death no matter how gruesome is accommodated in God's will.

Nothing that happens in this life is outside the will of God.

That man is a fake. You better change your church. He doesn't know what he's speaking about.

To suggest that some things can happen outside of God's will is to suggest that God is not Omniscient or Omnipotent. That is blasphemy.

Are you saying God intentionally created Adam & Eve and put the forbidden fruit in the garden, then it was his will for Adam to eat the fruit so he can curse mankind and make the world suffer the way it's suffering today
Are you also saying he created Lucifer and it was his will for Lucifer to rebel against him so he can throw him out and turn him to the devil?
