Centino you're funny sha. I shouted when I saw eighteen years old and finished from LAUTECH and I couldn't help but laugh. After how many years strike she graduated at 18?

Great update though. More grace to your elbow.

And also try to protect yourself too, use masks and minimize contact with people and going out.

My father says this stuff in Yoruba but I'll say it in English. "You don't name a man Folorunsho (I think it means a man protected by God) and then because of that he thinks to use a rope made from a plantain tree to climb a palm tree." I don't know if that makes sense to you.

It's fiction na boss. But never rule out exceptions sha. Once had a fourteen year old babe in my uni. Was famous for calling room mates aunty in the hostel grin

Your saying strong sha. I still dey reason am. Thanks.

This will be my last reply to you on this particular issue.

Magnanimous? That's because I let bygones be gone. I had made my point and moved on.

You surely do dislike criticism, even though that was never my aim in the first place. I was only setting aright a perspective so others don't swallow a fictional disposition hook, line and sinker. Some others have reached out to you privately? Not everyone will or should, after all the gaffe was made publicly. Forcing my thoughts on your thread? That's the reason Seun allows comments on this site. Otherwise, there would have been no need for comments,sir. You can create a diary for your story and do all the commenting yourself.

You're a proud unbeliever? I'm happy you've made that clarification. Instead of the previous claim that Cosmas believed in Christ. Some Christians here were beginning to swallow his deliberately distorted interpretations of the Bible - which was what inspired my initial comments.

I know nothing about Christianity? I may not know it all - no one does - but I know better than to learn about Christianity from an unbeliever. Had you been as thorough as you claim, you'd realise I'm one big critic of organised Christianity as we have it today. But should New Age practitioners become the standard for a faith they know nothing about. Why are you guys always fixated with distorting Christian beliefs? Why not islam, why not the others

I'm glad you updated quickly because of those comments. Maybe this will cause you to update even quicker. I look forward to that.

I was considering leaving the thread as you so desire, so we have no more dissenting views, but that still small voice has asked me to stay put. There has to be some dissent, sir, for balance.

NB: The more we think we know, the more ignorant we tend to appear. Are you sure that's not the case here? Remember Irikefe, an Urhobo, isn't supposed to be under the authority of the Itsekiri Olu of Warri? So much for investigative thoroughness.

Until some other topic, sir. Twas nice debating you. Peace.


Oh you came back? Okay it's time to have some fun.

Let me tell you something you've never heard before: If you are a "believer" you are a spiritual destitute. You become mature and ready for upward striving the day your belief becomes CONVICTION. I, Centino, do not just believe (that's too lazy)...I have a conviction that causes me to smile when I see folks like you.

Now let me tell you what is wrong with just "believing". There was a time when the world believed that the earth was flat. There was a time when all Pentecostal Christians believed they should pay tithe. Today nko? Preachers like Benny Hinn and Sam Adeyemi after enjoying the money for decades have made U turns. Beliefs are dynamic! What you believe today you may not believe tomorrow!

Mr. Cosmas believes in Christ. And he knows more than you do about Him. If you believe that God created 7 billion people and is only interested in the salvation of the less than 2 billion who are Christians? Oga, there are a lot more truths you'll never know with a mindset like yours.

See, I don't care what you write about Christianity. As a writer I know we don't always write what we mean. We don't have to. I know a bigot when I see one. Imagine taking it upon yourself to come here and give balance lol. You know nothing!

As a fiction writer, you should be ashamed of your comment about Irikefe and the Urhobo thing. I can understand a non writer making the comment but you? Anyway, there are writers and there are writers. Stay on this thread and learn. For the avoidance of doubt, the boy was 'making mouth' to people people he wanted to impress. I first even wrote the Oba of Benin then changed it to Olu of Warri. Dude wanted his listeners to believe he went to the biggest traditional ruler around over Papa Efe's issue! Who be Papa Efe abeg?Everything he said in that meeting were LIES! That's the whole point! Chai!

I won't be updating again until I finish with you so don't get excited. As service to humanity I will at the end of everything donate this thread to your ministry. I have a website you know.

Seun made it possible for you to make comment abi? Oya come comment. I'm waiting.

Ohibenemma:

I thought this was done and dusted when I read today's update and commended the author earlier.

But...seeing this now, I wonder

How bad could it get? I would never have associated you with such crassness. Imagine going as far as looking up my profile to come up with this Probably, I expected too much of your person.

What's your definition of a fan? Someone who will lick your droppings and tell you they taste good? I stumbled upon the Part 1 of this story over two years ago and have followed the story ever since. I may not drop comments everyday, but from your investigations on my profile, you must have seen that I do comment at times. It's funny you could react thus.

46 threads and 17 stories? I didn't even know those stats. Since you went that far, you should have seen that I have sometimes gone against organised Christianity, as we have it today. The deliverance in Magdalene depicts as much. The Man and the Prophet is another.

Religious people? I think that's a funny and uninformed tag. I am not religious, I am a Christian. And I don't see how anyone was defending God up there. Has any Christian taken up a cutlass against you on account of the heresies you bandy? Since when did factual debates become a defence of God?

I'm happy you are making your stance clear today. Cos, what I thought was mere literature, which I feared many were taking literally, was way more than that. It is you promoting your intrinsic values. My comment had been simply to advice those people.

At least, now the Christians should know better than accepting distorted biblical Interpretations from an unbeliever (Christianly speaking).

Peace.

Glad you came back. I wondered when I saw your earlier comment. Too magnanimous in the circumstance because I wanted you to see what I wrote. Now that we understand each other, you can do well and open another thread like I advised or work your ideas into your own stories.

I have no problem with criticism or dissenting views. But you must respect what I'm doing here especially when you noticed others were jumping on your back to cause distraction. I have had many contact me privately who were uncomfortable with something I said and we were able to reach some understanding. Forcing your thoughts on my thread is looking for notice you can't get otherwise.

Uncle, I am a proud unbeliever. And that is what I advise everyone to be. QUESTION EVERYTHING including what I say because what I have come to know is that the more you know, the more you realize that you know nothing.

You know nothing of the Christianity you profess I must tell you. I know where I've been. If you've been there you'll be more circumspect when flying your "believer" flag. Some people don't know how lucky (or unlucky) they are that their spiritual experiences end with going for services and attending Sunday school.

You're shocked I went that far? Bros I'm thorough. I investigate. That's how I can write what I write.

I wasn't happy about yesterday because I don't like arguments on this thread. So I stayed up all night and made sure I updated early so we can go back to talking about the story. Then what did I see? A new disciple of yours jumped on your idea to celebrate even more ignorance. Bros I repeat: YOU KNOW NOTHING. Go and read and listen to the still small voice within you and start a worthwhile thread.

Don't come back here.

I used to think you were level headed and a great guy,but this attitude you just displayed.......

It is okay to disagree over something but this, and on your own thread.....you are a great writer though,I appreciate your writing skills.


Thanks for responding. I was hoping you would.

If I had known the man that started all this wasn't a fan I wouldn't have bothered to respond to you in the first place.

I am not here to "win souls". That is clear in my reluctance to prescribe religions or literature to all those who have asked. I am here to make you think. And If your thinking faculties have been poked and you feel the need to investigate further, the sheer will to know will provide a compass for you as it is a promise that if you seek, you will find.

It is disgraceful to see educated people with functioning intuition lap up everything they are told or read in the form of organized religion without bothering to ask the questions burning in their souls. It is even more stupid to say "the ways of the Lord are inscrutable" as they do when they can't face the truth. It is spiritual indolence!

But let me ask, why do you religious people have this morbid persuasion to defend your God so much? Is He that weak?

The statement of the man that started this on New Age religion and sexual depictions shows a painful paucity of thought and laziness of the mind that made me to go and look him up here on Nairaland. I found that he has created 46 threads of which 17 are stories in this section. He has even spent 9 times more time on this site than I have. So why didn't he go and pick any one of those stories and defend his Bible there? Or better yet start another thread. I'm sure he will find people like you to follow him.

This is my thread and it is only for those who appreciate my work. If you don't like what I say, please leave. Go and write your own or go and read stories where you won't find church goers having sex. There are plenty in this section.

So sirs, please take your mediocre asses off my thread.

Good story Centino.

On Elijah, John and re-incarnation. I believe John came in the 'spirit and power' of Elijah (Luke 1:17) and not Elijah in the literal sense. Secondly, while there could be some issues of punctuations and other translational errors, is there any proof that the scripture has been altered deliberately to favor certain class or opinions?

Isn't it mischief that you say this and ignored Christ's unequivocal affirmation in Matthew 17:12 quoted in the same passage?

Proof of scripture being altered? It's not even hidden that they held the council of Constantinople in the middle ages and did just that. Who has not heard of the missing books if the Bible?

Anyway, not discussing this anymore outside the story. I'm only Centino your regular Joe grin Mr Cosmas in Katakata Street will answer future questions.

Keep reading wink

New age stuff from Cosmas (Centino) here!

I am okay with that trajectory for its literary value, but readers must be careful about patterning their beliefs after Cosmas' (Centino) postulations in this piece.

It is even more dangerous, considering the deliberate fusion of these views with Christianity. It is either absolute Christianity or absolute New Age!

It is same danger that the works of Dan Brown portend


Danger kwa!

Mr. Cosmas believes in Christ!

He is one of those who know that there is more to what they are being told! Christ often told his disciplines that there was so much more he could tell them but He feared that they would not be able to handle it (John 16:12). He knew that if he told them everything, in their myopia they would call it New Age. So he left them with a promise that another would come. And also charged them to seek....

Mr Cosmas' words will only strike those who carry in them a spark of truth. Those who adhere to the admonition to seek!

Bro, he who has an ear let him hear (Matthew 11:15)

Did you see the humiliation Liverpool faced in the hands of Manchester City? That performance was not befitting of a champion..

BRAVO CENTINO..

My bro. I know that that had nothing to do with having already won the title. You could see from their lineup that they wanted that victory to set a seal on their title but City were too good on the night. Man City underestimated the importance of Vincent Company to that team. Failing to replace him was their Achilles heals this season. They're a phenomenal football team.
