How come people in north Africa and middle east are dark skinned?

As for North African countries like Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, those guys are Arabs that invaded and annihilated the original owners...

There are North African countries with black inhabitants, too.

As for the Middle East, I do not know.

Whenever they go broke, they would try to refresh their memory, digging into their past slutty encounter with a dude so that they can accuse him of what they enjoyed in a way.

me sef believe in God. And do religion. But I don't throw away logic. I believe there's a huge disparity between being Godly & Religious. The fact say u no practice my religion no mean say u go enter fire or face condemnation. Or because u no b my tribe, that makes u a lesser human. I believe there's a reason that God made so much variety in the world, imagine everyone in the world have same thought process, same religion, same tribe, same everything...would definitely be a boring place. Why can't we just embrace humanity & find a common ground. You do your own, I do my own but alas no!

All roads leads to the same God.

I like your point.

My boss would say:

"God is not religious".

Let me share what my economics teacher told us.

He attended an international conference at Calabar , some years ago. There were Caucasians, Asians etc.

After everything, it was time for Item 7. A buffet was set up. He said, he walked up to the stand, served himself some eba and soup.

He got back to his seat, watched as other Africans were using cutleries to eat swallow, he shook his head in disgust.

He opened the bottled water that was given to him, poured some water on his hands and started digging into the meal. He said, everybody were just looking at him in 'disgust' - "what kind of a local lawyer is this one".

At the close of conference, a journalist walked up to him, and asked him why he ate his meal with his bare hands and not with the cutleries.

His words:

"I am an African man. The meal I served myself is an African dish, and I ate the meal the African way".

So, it is only inferiority complex that would make an African person to eat his local delicacy in a foreign way.

The Indians eat with their bare hands. Because we like copying rubbish, we always want to eat out local delicacy like a certain Mr. Bruce Cornwall who lives somewhere in Surrey, England.

*spits*

E get why konji dey hold human being.
If sex is a sin, why did God create humans with that urge?
You religious folks are a menace to common sense.

Just like Close Up, Oral B and Colgate are all toothpastes.


Ashewo, Hook-up, Runs-girl are all the same - they all fork men for money.

Ashewo is an old street palance.

Runs-girl is the modern street palance.

Hook-up is the social media street palance.

I laugh when I hear people say this. Now, let's turn to the Bible and show you how erroneous your two points are.

First, marriage in the bible was nowhere near parlour marriage. The ancient Jews had a huge ceremony for marriage. First, the betrothal ceremony, which was mostly indoor. Then the wedding ceremony itself was supposed to last seven days with a banquet for each day. Done compulsorily in the bride's house. Then, on the seventh day, the father of the bride gives you his daughter. Modern Jews, that is in Jesus' time, had a little less stressful tradition, and the bridegroom would simply come to pick up his wife at night after the initial 7-day banquet o. That is why at the wedding of Cana they said to the groom, the good wine was usually served first and at the end of the seventh day the anyhow came in. You can see all of the extravagant wedding practices of ancient jews over the course of the old testament with various modifications. Even when Rebecca was coming to marry Isaaic, she came with a whole congregation. That was their culture, weddings were a big deal, it was loud, it was grand, it was a testament to the wealth of both families. There was nothing quiet about Jewish wedding so don't come and say Traditional ceremony is not biblical. It's clearly in the Bible. The wedding Jesus attended clearly said he went to a wedding feast, feast means big event uncle not sitting room business.

Next in the time of Jesus, historically, people consulted the temple priests a lot for so many things. And although there is no concrete evidence, if marriage was such a big deal, then certainly families consulted the priest to use the Urim to seek God's will.

Finally, What kind of Christian says white wedding is ceremonial? It just means you still don't understand the concept of a white wedding. If you believe in Jesus and his blessing, the white wedding is your chance to seek that blessing. Yes, people have gone crazy, but hey, if you want to come to your father's house and be nuts, who has the right to judge you? The Christian wedding was simply a way for Christians to meet and tell Jesus, see o, this is the person I want to marry, come and bless us. The same way you did for the traditional weddings, receiving your family's blessing, Christian wedding was to receive Christ's blessing.

And why is it not in the bible, Well because Christianity was new, all the books of the bible only tell the stories of the early Christendom, So many things happened and were added to help improve Christian life after the bible, it doesn't make them fake, it was simply a part of the growth of Christianity. Marriage is important to God and Christians wanted to be sure that God gave His blessing so the Christian marriage things originated. And why do we believe it's authentic, because the Bible says, what you accept on earth is accepted in heaven and what you reject on earth is rejected in heaven. He gave us the authority to unanimously create and reject. And Christians since the beginning accepted Christian wedding. So abeg stop saying its just a ceremony, it's an important part of having a chirstian marriage.

I love your takes but, you still didn't make any of my points invalid.

You disagreed when I said that marriage is between the two families only, and that a priest has no business in it.

You countered me on that without giving reference to any marriage in the Bible that was officiated by a priest.

Concerning the ceremonial aspect of it, we are on the same page.

Concerning the involvement of priests in marriages, you didn't show me any where it was stated that a priest officiated a marriage.

Talking about, white wedding, it is the European alternative for our "traditional wedding".Otherwise, show me anywhere it was stated that, weddings were held in the church

You exaggerate things unnecessarily. How do these gadgets send information to whoever uses them to spy on you?

Bro, chill.

It is very possible as long as that device is connected to the Internet.

No.

Even God, Himself does not connect potential spouses to each other. The Bible clearly stated it that, "He that finds a wife...".

According to the Bible, marriage should be done between the two families. Your pastor doesn't have anything to do with your marriage.

That means, the White Wedding is just a ceremony. It is not biblical. It is unnecessary.

The only marriage that is biblical is the marriage that involves the bride and groom's family, that one we call "parlour marriage". That is the real thing. The extravagant traditional marriage is just a ceremony, just like the white wedding.

This guy sha... Talks anyhow.

That same day, whilst Adeboye prayed for winter to seize, there was a certain man somewhere who also prayed for winter to continue.

If God discarded the request of that certain man to answer Adeboye's request, that means, God is partial.

Since God is not partial, and the climate of a region has been set naturally before time immemorial, it means on thing. ADEBOYE WAS CAPPPING.

Greetings pals. Last week my girl friend sent me texts on facebook itemizing that she wants to break our relationship as a result of me not giving her my time, attention, nor chatting her frequently on social media. The things is, i am currently in school now and i barely have time for myself as my classmates i am to compete with are all brainics. and i intend studying the most prestigous course after completing a programme. my discipline is the toughest in the tertiary institution. Should i let her go or plead with her to stay since she requested for breakup. I have already explained to her yet she called me on the same ideology of breaking up with her. If i heed to what she request for, i will fall out academically and it will endanger my life. She is also in school too but my course is more complex than her.

She already had a backup plan before asking you for a breakup. Just let her go.

She don leave you since. No be today.

Anyone who comes here to mention that, tribalism is one of the reasons they may leave Nairaland, that person is a big hypocrite.

Everyone enjoys the tribalistic shots that are fired. Nobody would want to admit it.

So, because mummy was not around, that was why you started pounding the daughter?
