Op please study the difference between magic and miracles. These are no miracles. The problem I have with the Roman church is that everything about Christianity was turned upside down and sold to Islam who took it a step further. Check the miracles Jesus and the apostles did in the Bible none look anything like these fables called miracles their miracles were directed to human needs and to draw people to God

anago9010: another post fill of crap, you must be overdose on 300mg of pastorprenuer brainwashing antibiotics. when is your pastor buying his next private jet. IMHO Christianity make folks under-utilize their brain power.

I'm very sure that if we bring your achievement in life and compare it with those you think are brainwashed....

I prefer opsson joor

You may actually think you are making sence but that's the best you know as a man in the dark. I would have clarified some issues for you but I don't think you will understand. As good as light is, it is useless to the blind. Let's work towards your seeing the light of the glorious Gospel first then other things will become clearer. But just understand that the present happenings only proves that the Old Testament is true with Gods support for Israel while Islam is only an impostor that tries to copy and twist the truth. Judaism is only a shadow of Christianity and as they are winning physical wars through supernatural help so are we inspired to win spiritual wars through angelic assistance. You will not understand these things till your eyes are opened

ISP1KSDATROOF: When I see ignorant Africans like yourself I just shake my head. Inferiority complex has destroyed your psyche. Do you ever wonder why African-Americans can't stand Jews? Why Italians can't stand them? Why Poles can't stand them? Why Caucasians can't stand them? Why just about everyone on Earth can't stand them but the African butt-lickers? The same Africans that are persona-non grata in Israel? I do not advocate hatred of any group as a whole, I'd rather people be dealt with on individual basis, but the propaganda emanating from the Jews is astonishing and sometimes disgusting.

Now, let me teach you a little bit because lack of proper education seems to be the bane of you ignorant Africans that want to be jewish so bad. This is your assignment, go on Google and type in the following:

1. What do Jews think about Jesus?

2. What do Jews think about Christianity?

3. What do Muslims think about Jesus?

I know you're mentally lazy so I'll help you out a bit.


According to Jews, Jesus was a criminal, a false prophet, a trouble making politician/usurper. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN YOUR CHRISTIANITY OR YOUR BIBLE! They think its hilarious that Christians always want to attach themselves to Judaism. No matter how you try, they do not like or respect you, period.

According to the Muslims, Jesus was one of Allah's most special prophets. Muslims don't even believe Jesus died, they believe he was raised body and flesh to the heavens. They believe in conception and virgin birth...everything Christians believe about him... EXCEPT that he's the savior and son of God.

Yet, African Christians hate Muslims but love the Jews.

im not saying Africans/Nigerian Christians are idiotically ignorant but....

Ok, u wan hear more?

Moderators don't be too fast to bring somebody's business to ruin. By bringing uninvestigated stuffs like this to the front page. I'm sure u don't know the pains involved in building a business.

Understand that some customers are difficult to deal with and even when u try to apologize they are still ranting. Moreso a staff may just have a bad day, do u expect his/her doing to ruin someones business? Nairaland was down and some data were even lost and nobody crucified Seun, we all showed understanding. Why. Wdnt u reciprocate

Yes I support exposing frauds and those who intimidate. But make your findings. Don't judge. A matter after. Hearing one side

***judging from some peoples comment, a competitor can actually stage manage a situation. And post it here and others will believe it. Some people are still student sha, I don't blame them, till they get to the market world

You did not add Oro festival practiced in most parts of western Nigeria. They warn people not to come out from around 11pm. If not they will be killed. The. Govt even knows and keeps quiet. It happened. In Ikeja 2days where they say the oba died and they are looking for heads to bury him for me this is the most barbaric of all after jihad/sharia

Hmmm

Mentorship matters. Present a model with their same passion, and remember sometimes schools destroy creativity thats why most inventors are drop outs. So while they attend school create another form of education that does not involve mere paper results but setting goals and achieving them.
Creativity comes with a price. See some of our creative designs

Not only you Mr. President, Seun has not explained to us what happened to Nairaland and how to #bringbackourdata I also believe he is not insensitive or uncaring but does not want to compromise information so far

Meanwhile let's celebrate that Nairaland is back. Order your logo design to with us. see samples

cramjones: 2. General Mohammadu Buhari - Need no introduction! He is indeed a man without any iota of corruption. He will cleanse Nigeria of the number one problem plaguing it - corruption. Buhari got nothing to loose, he has seen it all. He also has a "messiahonic" following in the North and with Nigerians, and will get us the numbers we need in the North. However, he has expressed his reservations running this time. But if the General so decides to run, we in the APC will support him!

Nigerias biggest problem now is not corruption but religious crises. At least in corruption some people benefit from the loot while in religious crises one person decides to take the lives of many with him to force his agenda on others. I forsee a rise in this scenario if..... Please voters remember Egypt. Selah

The only lesson here is that he personally cares for the well being of his children inspire of his position in power. I wish Baba Iyabo learned this on time, he would have been a father and not one that uses others to further his ambitions, a mentor and not a tormentor. See how his open letter is now CLOSED by his daughter counter open letter. May all men learn this wisdom

As for those always comparing UK/US public officials and ours, my word for you is that you are comparing two different environment. With our security situation, if you live here, you better move with guards and put in place other security measures in a country where some people are ready to die to see many others die. All in the name of religion. Show me where Iraqi president is dropping the daughter with no security then ill rest my case

Finally, this may just be a publicity stunt. He may be a different father at home but using this to score a political goal. Don't be deceived. Remember I said MAY

I have closely followed the discussion on the wedding of Pastor Kumuyis son. My conclusion is that Pastor Kumuyi is the most respected minister in Nigeria. I discovered that unlike what people say against other men of God in this forum, Kumuyi was adored by even Muslims and Catholics alike as a real man of God(that is not to say I endorse their assessment of other Men of God). But it looks as if- take away the outfit many people will opt for Deeper Life and their emphasis on holiness and moderation as their church

The picture below is beloved Chimamanda Adichie, the Nigerian writer after winning an American Award recently. Now my question is, if her outfit(which is 70% Deeper)and outlook(make ups included)becomes the new Deeper Life standard for a new generation, will you attend the church or even port? If you are a member will you remain? why not?

I am just wondering how black South Africans lost the entertainment industry to Nigeria since their freedom. It used to be Chaka Chaka, lucky Dube, Maria Makebe(don't know if she is Southy), etc. Then our musicians only sang against aparthied. How can Nigeria manage this continental dominance? Food for thought!!!

Okk! Moderator move it to jokes section

Is that MI I'm seeing behind her in the second pix? Is he now her PA?

Destroyed the shrine and left that of the leader guru maharaja he is said to be following. I think every member of that sect should be researched especially on how their mother and other relatives died

All hell broke loose in far away Middle East, four millennia ago, when a group of practicing homosexuals attempted to gang rape angels in a bid to practicing their right to ‘alternative lifestyle’. It was the first gay movement in recorded history, setting - Sodom. The English word ‘sodomy’ is an etymological offshoot of that incidence. Apparently, these dare-devils (or rather dare-angels), had clamored for ‘gay rights’ before taking it a step further- outright lawlessness.

Fast forward forty centuries later, history has come to repeat itself - this time in the Western world as the sodomites in the United States have been militantly demanding not just to do whatever they wish to do behind closed doors, but, more importantly, that society fully accept their lifestyle as both healthy and normal, even demanding special rights and legislation as an "oppressed minority." Already six states in the United States, including the latest addition-New York, have legalized gay marriages. The church is not spared this gross pervasion as many gay couples are being wedded and ordained into ministry in some circles. What the Bible says should not even be mentioned amongst believers has suddenly become the major ‘matters arising’.

Though this write up will be in series to expose the devils plan in the gay agenda, this first chapter is geared towards making us learn from history lest we repeat the mistakes of history.

Okay! So let's start adding images for those that would want to see what a professional logo looks like.

tobechi74: they first condemn Catholics but as time goes on, they imitate catholic practice.

Catholicism and Islam are more related than catholicism and Christianity. I'm not speaking for other bodies but for Pentecostals/Charismatic which I believe hold biblical truth

1 NO TO ROSARY ; but you see them putting it on

Any true believer who wears rosary may just be a baby who just repented or is a religious fellow who thinks rosary a religious representation of the divine and does not know the idolatory associated with it. For why Jesus preached that repeating prayers is pagans the rosary is just a bunch of repeated prayers.

2 WHY DO CATHOLICS ADD ADDITIONAL BOOKS TO THE BIBLE ? But they quote from it to suit their teaching

Can you please substantiate this claim. No pentecostal minister quotes from this book. Mind you when I say Pentecostal, I am talking about the Winners Chapel, Dominion City, RCCG, TREM etc. Jesus quoted almost all books of the Old Testament but none from these books added by Roman Catholics.

3 why do catholics use holy water, olive oil, etc? but they sell it and use it

Your mistake is taking all non-Catholic Christian organizations as same. None of the above churches mentioned does such

4 xmas and easter is pagan ; but they join us to celebrate

Christmas has Pagan origin but not Easter which is the celebration of the death and resurrection of Christ. Note that it happens during the Jewish feast of Passover-thats when the real Lamb of God was crucified unlike Christmas which scholars know that Jesus was not born then. If we celebrate Christmas its not wrong; it depends on how its celebrated does it glorify God or the devil?

5 they now bear catholic names like ; john paul, rose mary etc

Childish unsubstantiated reasoning

6 catholics dont have the right to change Gods law ; but catholic changed sabath day to sunday and they join us
in worshiping God on sunday

[quote]another error of lumping all non-Catholic churches together. There are m*ny scriptural reasons for sunday Worship; its not a catholic thing



[quote]7 POPE IS ANTICHRIST ; yet they go to rome and jerusalem

Rome and Jerusalem are tourists destinations. Pentecoastals who travel to these areas are not going to meet God like a Catholic would believe. God is everywhere.

the list goes on and on ; plz add urs

Make some research nd give your life to Christ and not to a roman institution

Segeggs: @op .dont venerate the cross

I am not one of those that wear the cross or have it in my house. When I say the cross I am not just referring to a physical object but to what it represents and there is nothing wrong with that.

When Jesus carried that minus sign
of a single beam on his shoulders
to Calvary and it was put
crossways the wonder happened
– it created a plus, the logo of
God’s love and mercy, the symbol of salvation. The undefeated
power of love changed the cross
of gore into a cross of glory. God
bless you

Good write up but let me quickly add that the designer should help the client refine his thoughts because most times they don't really know what they need but think they do. Most Nigerians are not internet savvy and asking the client to provide an example might just delay the job; instead I'd suggest the designer gets samples of what he thinks the client needs, this way they can faster and better understand each other.

Moderator take this to front page to enlighten the clients, that's where they are

I'm so thrilled by this memoir. The moderators should take it for the world to see

(CNN) -- Chinua Achebe died, aged 82, almost exactly 23 years to the day a car accident in Nigeria left him paralyzed from the waist down. I wonder what Achebe scholars might make of that.

I wonder, too, what Achebe himself might have made of that, in his final moments. I'm trying to imagine what went through his mind in those moments. Would he have pondered, for one last time, on the inauspicious beginnings of his bestselling novel, "Things Fall Apart?" (He once said that Heinemann, the publishers of the debut edition "printed very, very few. It was a risk... It went out of print very quickly."

Would he have mused on the fact that "Things Fall Apart" never appeared in Igbo, the Nigerian language that fed its style, and rhythms, and that its characters spoke?

Would his mind have been crowded by violent images from Nigeria's civil war of 1967 to 1970, in which he lost friends, his library, and any illusions he may have had about the unity and inherent goodness of Nigeria? Or by violent images from the 1990 accident?

Would he have preferred to die in Nigeria, instead of America? Would he have chuckled at the thought of the Nigerian government unleashing a torrent of tributes -- the same government that suggested in 2004 (under another president, it must be said), in response to his criticism of it, that he didn't deserve the country?

Would he have tried to imagine how his life might have played out had Biafra and the accident not happened?

We will never know.

The war has been written about extensively -- Achebe's final book was a much-awaited memoir of the war. The accident, on the other hand, is the tragedy that is not much talked about -- perhaps because Nigeria is an accident-factory. The title of Nigerian author Ben Okri's 1991 Booker-winning novel "The Famished Road" comes from a Wole Soyinka poem, "Death in the Dawn," a 1967 lament for the victim of an accident on a Nigerian road: "May you never walk / when the road waits, famished."
Achebe's accident happened in Awka, in southeastern Nigeria, not very far from his birthplace. Nigeria's hospitals could not take care of him, and soon after he had to be moved to a hospital in England, where he was told he would never be able to walk again.

In the eight years before the war Achebe published four novels, but after the war it took him 17 years to publish another. After the accident he never walked again. And never had the chance to live in Nigeria again. And never again published a novel.
"I have found that I work best when I am at home in Nigeria," he told the Paris Review in a 1994 interview. When the magazine asked if he missed Nigeria, he said: "Yes, very much." But coming back was not an option: "One reason why I am quite angry with what is happening in Nigeria today is that everything has collapsed. If I decide to go back now, there will be so many problems -- where will I find the physical therapy and other things that I now require?"

That anger -- triggered by the Biafra civil war, and crystallized by his accident, and the continued failings of Nigeria's successive governments to bring real change to the country -- defined his relationship with Nigeria. Things were always falling apart between the writer and his country.

In 2004, the government chose to offer him a national honor. Not surprisingly, Achebe rejected it. In response the Government described his decision as "regrettable."

The biggest tribute we can pay to Achebe would be to get more familiar with his oeuvre.

Seven years later, the government -- this time under a new president -- tried again. Again, Achebe said no, arguing that "the reasons for rejecting the offer when it was first made have not been addressed let alone solved. It is inappropriate to offer it again to me."

And yet again the government described his action as "regrettable" and hoped he would "find time to visit home soon and see the progress being made by the Jonathan Administration for himself."

That same government will now arrogate to itself the position of "Mourner-in-chief." Someone ought to let them know that the biggest tribute they can pay to Achebe would be to create the kind of Nigeria he would have been proud to receive a national honor from.

And for Nigerians everywhere, the biggest tribute we can pay to Achebe would be to get more familiar with his oeuvre; read his writing with the passion with which we revere his person.

I must confess I came to his work rather late. Chimamanda Adichie has spoken eloquently of reading Achebe at 10, and having her life transformed from that moment. I came to Achebe much later -- I didn't encounter "Things Fall Apart" until I was in my mid-20s.

I love his essays and short stories the most -- essays full of wisdom and wit, and without the urge to impress with scholarly intelligence; stories marked by an expertly wielded lightness of touch, and the most compelling characters you will ever meet. And it occurs to me that the novel I'd most love to write would be a 21st-century update of Achebe's final novel, "Anthills of the Savannah" (1987).

I got an opportunity to see Achebe in person in November 2010, when he went to speak at Cambridge University, England. It was an opportunity to see for myself the sort of reverence Achebe inspired.

"I think all you need to tell the stories that I have told is to live the life that I have lived and keep your eyes and senses open and working," he once said. But that was the humble, self-deprecating Achebe, the man who insisted he never taught creative writing because, "well, I don't know how it's done."

What he did took more than just open eyes. It took vision, a certain way of seeing the world. He was a genius, laden with -- to borrow from his own description of Adichie -- "the gift of ancient storytellers."

May his soul rest in peace.

Chinua Achebe was a genius, but had a troubled relationship with his own country, writes Tolu Ogunlesi.
