The solemnity of our lord Jesus Christ the king Sunday, It celebrate the widely inclusive power of Christ as Ruler and Master of the universe.

Authoritatively called the feast of Our Master Jesus Christ the Lord also known as (Feast of Corpus Christi) was founded by Pope Puis XI in 1925 during a time when respect for Christ and the Church was waning, when the feast was needed most.


Pius hoped the institution of the feast would have various effects. They were:
1. That nations would see that the Church has the right to freedom, and immunity from the state ( Quas Primas , 32).

2. That leaders and nations would see that they are bound to give respect to Christ ( Quas Primas , 31).

3. That the faithful would gain strength and courage from the celebration of the feast, as we are reminded that Christ must reign in our hearts, minds, wills, and bodies ( Quas Primas , 33).

Today, the same distrust of authority exists, although the problem has gotten worse. Individualism has been embraced to such an extreme, that for many, the only authority is the individual self.

Feast of Corpus Christi is celebrated on the last Sunday of ordinary Time according to Catholic believe, the Sunday before Advent
In 2016, the feast falls on November 20th which is the closure of the jublie year of mercy.

As a catholic I give my self one week preparing for the feast and proccesion.. what about?

I appreciate your frustrations. I am sure nothing makes sense to your father after losing your mother.
Don't get angry, be patient with him.
Collect the worn out clothes in his closet and keep them away from his sight.
He will be looking for them you also will ask him where he kept them.
After a while tell him that they not presentable and should wear the available ones. Let him realise that he needs to dress well. Who is he keeping the good clothes for?

Good day nairalanders.
I will make it very brief. Please I need your advice.
I've been a nairalander since 2016 but this is my first official post.

My father is a good, noble and humble man. A successful business man. He's very proud of us (his children), we're also proud of him. We're 3. I'm 29 years of age, the eldest and only son. He make sure we don't lack anything. We all went to one of the prestigious Private University in Nigeria. I and my immediate baby sis are graduate, while last born still in 300l.

The problem is that, my father don't know how to dress, he prefer to wear faded and worn out clothes. My dad drive highlander 2014 model. If my Dad comes down from his car, you will think he's a driver to an imaginary Boss because of the way he dressed.
Blessed memories of my beloved mom May her soul R.I.P. She was always complaining and sometimes my Dad won't listen to her.

I'm a good fashion designer, my love for fashion is topnotch. I also own a laundry store and a barbing store. I've been privileged to sew some clothes for comedian Buchi which he loves so much and he promised to patronize me again.

GOD in heaven knows how many lovely, mature and soft dress I've sew and bought for my father with my money. He only wears it once and won't wear it again, there are some he haven't put on at all. He celebrated his birthday August, I bought this nice shirt 18k for him as a gift. Till today he hasn't put it on.

Please note: money is not his problem. The other day he stopped by at my store, I and my boys were working. He noticed nobody was using one of my industrial machines. He asked and I said it was faulty. He said how much? I said 170k but I'll change it soon before January....(because I just wrapped my car from corolla to ES Lexus)....Before I could say Jack... Baba don send me 200k. I ordered the machine instantly.

See what happened this morning, He got an invitation to attend a meeting. The smartest way to dress for a highly regarded man like him is native wear.
So he gave me this faded black trouser turning white to brush for him, that he wanted to wear it for the meeting...See eh, It was so annoying. I went to his room gathered the nice, starched and ironed native I could gather and I told him to select one, that I won't brush that faded trouser. He started saying ... " I'm proving stubborn and all manner things"... I'm sure our tenants could hear our argument.

Please Nairalanders. What can I do to make my Dad dress well. I plan to set fire on those faded and worn out clothes but it will look so disrespectful. I'm sure his friends have accepted his mode of dressing.
My siblings and I are tired of complaining.

Please I need an advice!!!

Plantiff:
Alzheimer's disease, dementia or Parkinson's disease affects 3 million Americans annually despite their healthcare delivery system. I don't know the statistics in Nigeria because it isn't recorded.

Bill Gates is committed to finding the best possible solution for these diseases that attack when grandparents retire from labour and intend to spend quality time with their children and grandchildren. I think this disease killed Gates, the senior, and the father of the richest man in the world wouldn't die if money could treat dementia.

These category of diseases is better prevented than cured.

Dementia is a disease that is usually managed. In developed countries there are dementia care homes.

Those facilities are lacking in Nigeria which makes men that suffer from Dementia to be at the mercy of their wives.

Why am I saying all these?

I'm advising bachelors eligible for marriage to avoid evening newspapers at all cost.

Marry a woman that is at least 10 years younger than you so that if this disease sets in both of you would not suffer it together because women are more likely to suffer dementia than men.

Also, since there are no care homes in Nigeria, your survival depends on the willingness of your wife to take care of you since your children will be taking care of their own families.

Jacob's survival today is because he married a "very good" woman he is 19 years older than who is taking care of him .

chris51:
That's stealing. She should stop it

chris51:
My dear, I will be very honest with you. If you have been in a relationship with a man for some years and not close to his family, it means you are not serious, especially if you are both talking about marriage.

It has nothing to do with being an introvert. By now you should have built close relationship with the family. They will be the ones encouraging him to marry you.

If you are not careful, one of his sisters may introduce her friend to him. If you are not close to them, they will not trust you enough to marry their brother.

Please try and work on your relationship with them.

chris51:
You have nothing to fear in terms of age difference. Women mature much faster than men.

Lionnation:
That is why there population grows faster than ours, you think they don't what they are doing, the only thing they think of is political power over the rest, nothing else matters to them

Divoc19:
Leave them. Let them sell.
It's your father's sweat.
You will acquire your own soon.
Shit happens, Life goes on

chris51:
You are wicked and will regret it.
How can you keep secret of your 3 children from your fiance. He will eventually know and you will be in trouble

Mummiesgirls4:
My trad marriage is on the 27 of this month I still have had no courage to tell him about my 3 other children. I am pregnant I am scared he will leave me if he find out that I have 3 other children, I love him so much he is my everything on earth and I am scared to loose him. I don't want to end up single with 5 children. But sometime I feel sad I cry at night and I just don't know what to do because the guilt is so much.

chris51:
It rains all the year round in Port Harcourt

AlhajiBitcoin:
Omo, it's still raining in Portharcort ??

chris51:
My dear, forget about this girl. Let her find her man in her church.

Stay in your Catholic church, because if you make the mistake of marrying this girl, you will regret it.

Her pastor will control your home.
Before you know it, members of your family will become witches and wizards to her.

chris51:
Blackmail is the weapon they have. When people are desperate they run to them for loan, knowing fully well, their conditions.
If you don't want to be embarrassed, do not borrow from them

felixzo1:
they should find other ways of retriving their money and not through blackmail and lies. Two wrongs do not make right. It's unethical

chris51:
You have no choice other than to pay the money.

You knew the conditions before collecting money from them.

If you don't pay up, within a twinkle of an eye, it will reach N10k.

Do NOT patronise them next time.

chris51:
For only N30,000 what she exposed herself to, was not worth it.

Twerking half clad and as a student in medical field, self discipline,
especially, in public should be her watch word.

She is young and should be forgiven. When they are among peer group, they easily get carried away.

Dialpad:
She was trafficked, this is obviously against her wish.

Gather evidence proving all you are doing was not your intention from the onset( remember she is not a minor)

Find your way to US embassy in UAE, tell them you are an exploited woman, let them know there will be consequences if you go back to Nigeria (instant death)

Your sister could be granted assaylum.



Not as easy as that.
Is she a US citizen?
What US embassy got to do with it?
Her best bet is UAE Police

JosephXavier:
He must have bribed the police men and with the help of some highly placed people in the society that he knows or he does business with, the case will be swept under the carpet only for this to happen

My anger is with the innocent people who lost their lives especially that of the beautiful lady whose wedding is a month away

May they all rest in peace

chris51:
Scrape your tongue with spoon when brushing. It helps remove the coated tongue and your mouth will be fresh.
