eklassical: i really think Whatsapp should just keep improving . facebook, google, n d rest of them are all scavengers, they indirectly steal ur idea by paying u stipends (forget d billions jor) and they earn more by remodelizing n adding it to their basket of Apps!!

zaza1: Over 90% of the people calling her ugly don't even have the guts to use a profile pic on Nairaland..she got her tits done SO WHAT!!!IS IT UR BODY??She is not fine SO WHAT!!!Does that give u a right to judge her actions on just those two things?she had a plastic surgery and she is ugly and cause of those two things u know all about who she is and what she stands for..Nigeria's problem is not the leaders but the people,a land of bigots,tribalists,hypocrites who are broke asses most of the time.

The hate spewed from the mouths of most Nigerians (not only on Nairaland but other blogs as well) is quite disturbing.if she took a picture showing all d gifts she brought or told us d cash donation she made people will say publicity stunt.if she doesnt take pics others will say she only took a cake..she is dancing with the kids some r saying she will give them nightmares..so as she is a girl who is not pretty and has done surgery on her tits she shud lock herself up in her house forever like quasimuodo(if you know who that is)just to please u.

Last i checked she won $200k from BBA,she works on Naija FM and stars in Tinsel.i'm sure u wudnt mind being ugly with fake tits till u died just for a fraction of what she got..

Kk enuff said

naijainfogalery: It saddens me when celebrities use this innocent children for fame, My question is How much did she give to them? From all observations i didnt see any gift apart from the snacks and the cake. Its not about visiting them, its about giving tangible things and forget all these stunts of displaying in media that you visited an orphanage. Like one celebrity last year that visited with 10 cartons of Indomie. And her face was all over the Internet as if she has done something good. Its high time we face reality. Give and you dont even have to announce.

chukkynwob: Bro Engima I really appreciate your post,I want to reiterate that my aim in this conversation will not be confrontational and I really wish you, in line with your usual character will accord me the same non-confrontational stance



Lol at make heaven..okay lets use rest in the bossom our Lord shall we?... I believe resting in the bossom of the Lord is not by self-righteousness but a continuous and conscious effort at renewal of the new birth. I believe we have some work to do.


Okay if being born again is solely dependent on God...then the salvation of a man soul is not within his own decision till when God wills.Maybe there is a fine line I missed,I'll be blessed if you can be more lucid on this issue.

Enigma: First, I'd like to comment that the language (often used in Nigeria) "make heaven" is inadvisable. TBH I'm actually using mild language as I really dislike the language! The language suggests that it is by a person's own efforts that he achieves eternal life; s/he does 'good' and does not "sin" e.g. does not smoke, fornicate, murder etc.

Enigma: Our part is to exercise faith: then we are given the righteousness of Christ. And to use my "peculiar language" (which others may justifiably dislike) --- God Himself borns us again! This is why some people emphasise the new birth --- in this sense; some prefer to talk of new birth simply as changing one's ways; that's all good as far as it goes; John 1 makes us know that a person is born again not by the will of men etc but born of God! It is a spiritual thing - born of the Spirit!

My primary point is this: when God Himself borns a person again, there is no way that person can be wholly lost again; even if he temporarily loses his way, he will eventually find his way back home ---- because the one who 'borned' him again will preserve him. That is the central message.

Question: when is a person "born again"? Personally, I don't make presumptions since my view is that it is God who 'borns' a person again. I think it is simplistic to simply assume that it occurs when a person says a "sinner's prayer" etc. We humans could of course, for ease of understanding, use that time/period of realisation of one's sinfulness and of repentance as our marker. That is fine, and in that sense, it is not unreasonable to use that time/period as the time a person is "born again" --- especially "born again" in the sense of changing one's ways and turning to God.

Ihedinobi: If he had not truly been saved, he would not have repented. That's the differentiating mark between true Christians and impostors.

When a Christian is rebuked, the Spirit within him holds him to the matter until he repents. If he's not a true Christian, there'd be no Holy Spirit within him to make him repentant.

That's why we are told to exhort or rebuke twice and if the person we're rebuking or exhorting does not repent, we should treat them as if they are unbelievers.

JeSoul: Sorry about what happened to you brother...hope no such occurence since then and hopefully in the future.

okeyxyz: fornication simply means illicit sex. It is not consensual sex between man and woman. As long as they are not cheating anyone or nature(unnatural sex), then it cannot be fornication.

Look up any bible dictionary/concordance. The popular definition of fornication that we all assume has no basis in scripture, it is simply a tradition passed down by the catholic church and adopted by the rest of "christianity"

Orikinla: Who told you that Seun is an atheist?
Then why should he continue to answer Oluwaseun?
Who is Oluwa in Yoruba?

Did Bill Gates tell you that?

Ihedinobi: As for them picking that part of Lagos, it's primarily because, like I said, the upper classes slowly lose touch with the realities of Nigeria and get careless with their "it shouldn't be so" mentality. Because of this they're easier for such criminals to go for. Also considering the firepower I'm under the impression they had, they couldn't very well have gone for Ajegunle, could they?

Ihedinobi: Didn't I already answer this? JeSoul, my sister, no need to make it look like I condone the murders and r.a'pes. I do not. I said that if he hadn't been out so late at night in Lagos, there is a probability those goons would never have got their operation underway at all. The whole thing happened to him because he indulged a false sense of security, false because of the social, economic and political realities of the city he was in.

Sincere 9gerian: Thank you. I agree with you on the need for a swift justice system. This is a challenge for the present govt. The present situation where prosecution of corrupt persons last for like eternity is UNACCEPTABLE. I believe with continuous pressure, we'll get there.

Meanwhile, I still insist that corruption is decreasing. I'm from Anambra state. In the past, in my state, it was common for the govt to award road contracts, mount sign post at project site, the contractor collects huge sums as mobilization fee and disappear from project site. Some contractors even receive complete payment for job not done or very poorly done. But today, all that has reduced drastically.

The story is the same or similar in many other states.

From the posts so far, most commenters do not agree with me but ironically most of those who do not agree with me cannot OBJECTIVELY disprove my points.

I'm not afraid to stand alone on any issue provided I can confidently and OBJECTIVELY defend my position.

Just to stretch the arguement further, when Buhari and his gangs seized power in the 80's from politicians of the second republic, they told us those politicians were mindlessly corrupt. However, subsequently, Nigerians later discovered that most of the politicians of the second republic, including president Shagari, were POOR CHURCH RATS.

JeSoul: erm...Al Qaeda is sponsored by the US? Sorry oh oga, this your conspiracy theory get as e be. US foreign policy is indeed 'riddled with holes'...much like many many other countries. You'd be hard pressed to find a 'righteous' nation. The US is simply more visible so their shortcomings make headlines while everyone else is practically the same, it's just not publicized.

Alfamann: ooman, please tell us the difference between guesswork and hypothesis.


Please tell us. Don't be a christian. Don't be a wimp. Put your reputation where your mouth is. Don't run away like a soldier of christ. Tell us.

thehomer: I think far more Christians here don't have a clue about how science works.
