GTech1: Few weeks ago Deeper life wedding pictures was shown on this platform (I believe the picture is on the front page of this thread now) people complained up to 7 pages. Now they changed and modernized it people are still complaining.

Is it not funny that the best time to 'change' this happened when it was wedding of the Son of the Pastor?

Riddle me on that.

OlowoTee: No, John is human. His father's righteousness wouldn't speak for him. And, until he repents, he is no different from every other church goers who do not have personal relationship with Christ.

I married in the Church and would never regret doing so...because my conviction isn't based on Church policies but Bible doctrines.

Really, it's understandable that to whom much is given much is expected, but Pastor Kumuyi cannot force his sons to be like him, right. At 72years old, he has lived an examplary life of Christ.. He has played his part and still giving his all. I would always RESPECT him as a Father and Mentor!

Everyone would definitely give account of his/her life to God. Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Esin baba ko le gboomo la. I wish I could translate this now..somebody help me

And if I may add, that wedding was modest.

Regarding John, that was years ago, he is probably more refined now. My point in the post is regarding the concept of telling your followers to do something whilst not complying to the same mandate.

Your post states that he 'lived an exemplary life of Christ', I'm assuming you were with him every second of his life to make such a bold statement.

In addition, A stretch Limo in a wedding is not a sign of modesty. (from a modest perspective)

^^^^

You beat me to this. Was about to do the same.


You should check your head if you digest anything that comes from any tom, dick and harry that calls himself a man of God.

The hypocrisy is just ridiculous. I dont blame these men, they actually don't force anybody to believe anything they say, I only question the zombies that follow them

Imagine the contrast in both pictures, it highlights the present nature of Christianity in Nigeria.

John was my ex school mate. Grace High School, Gbagada. Whilst in school, we regularly quizzed him about the not-watching-television doctrine his father mandated in those day.

Apparently, [size=15pt]John said they owned a television set in their home[/size]. In those days, the dude was plumpy with a pear shape. I remember once, he pointed me to the direction of a girl's breast telling me they looked sumptuous.

My cynic foray into the irony called religion was birthed that very day.

Dont know If I should laff or cry.

Wow.

[size=15pt]Constant Electricity is more important!!![/size]

[/quotes]This touching letter was reportedly written by a lady who was abused by her husband but eventually died of cancer.

The letter which she requested to be published and read on the day she would be laid to rest revealed a whole lot that she went through in the hands of her cheating and abusive husband and how the church failed to play their role.

Read the heart-wrenching letter below. ..kinda long but worth reading to the end.

''I bid you farewell…………………………………………..

I am grateful to God that I will rest in His bosom and I am more grateful because I have always wanted this opportunity to speak my mind even unto death. I guess you are surprised that even the dead can air an opinion; in my case I really wanted to because I knew that God was preparing a place
for me and that is where I will be. Do not weep for so long because I found eternal peace in Him. The very peace that has eroded me in about twelve years of my God given years (at the time of this writing I am forty-one years of age and I have been married for twelve years). This is my story………


I am Yetunde nee Olotu as I am fondly called by my immediate family in Nigeria but here I am being referred to as Omodolapo Jagha as named by the love of my life. Now, I am Dolapo GoodGod , the surname I adopted when I realized that I no longer have a husband who will be there for me. The very man I should expect to be the Master of ceremony at my burial, the man you think would miss my departure the most but unfortunately not. I believe my estranged husband is glad that he is now free from the bondage called marriage.

Noble Jagha, I hope you feel so happy now that your prophesy to Maryam Hassan and other girlfriends of yours that I will soon die so you can marry them is now fulfilled. The truth is that my body may be dead but my hope of glory in heaven is constant as God lives. I may not be here again but I am so sure you will never find anyone to love you the way I did…… You were my first love, the very man who deflowered me but turned his back on me years after that I was not good on bed (not sexy enough for you), I was not good at cooking but I managed to learn and cook your local meal of Starch and Banga. He said, “I was so paranoid” because I complained that you are only comfortable making phone calls in the car and returning home at midnight. You finally abandoned me and the children in December, 2012 after all the mental and physical abuse I suffered from you. You could not face the wrath of law as I got a safety and protection order against you because I was afraid that you would eventually take my life. While you lived with us, you were of no use, as you were not readily available to do your matrimonial and fatherly duties.
How painful it was to take the twins to school walking all the way from Ongar to Little Pace, sometimes after getting a chemo. Even when I pleaded with you to look after the kids when I have appointments at the hospital you refused. Thank God for the Irish government (HSE) that provided me with home help (Margaret), my cousin, grandma Odelade, Sola and S. Bimbo (my wonderful sisters in church), my friend, confidant (Gbemi) who stuck to me like a sister, she is known in all our kids’ school as their guardian because you were not there. You found solace in your numerous, “your attraction” as you referred to the choir leader and probably your new sizzling romance Sheila Luxembor whom you kept my kids with without my consent. I hope she told you I rang her and made peace with her when I did no wrong (Yeah, I did this to secure my heaven).
Hhhhmmmm……….the Lord is my strength.

Oti, how do you feel after physically and mentally tormenting me? You can now be happy that “the living corpse” (as you often referred to me) in your home has finally gone to be with God. You no longer have to hit me or pounce on me anymore. In death I have forgiving you because I loved you but I hope you are able to forgive yourself…….?

I cannot forget in a minute how I felt so let down that I took to my heels and sought refuge in that sister’s place and later on at the women’s refuge. I am sure your defense is that I died as a cancer patient but I believe I could live a day longer if you were there for me…… I went through the pains of Cancer lonely! Rather than supporting, you rejected me. Isn’t marriage meant to be for better or for worse.….? I hope when I remember how childish you were for taking the boot you bought for me and returning the wrist watch I bought for you I can peacefully sigh a relief for leaving this cruel world. You were so mean to me! Oti, you were really mean to Emmanuella too. How could you ill-treat your own children because they are girls? I have all the horrible text messages you sent to me documented; psychologically you killed me before my death.

Pastor Jagha, a man of God! The church has failed in their duty to help you from fallen, they have pampered you for doing wrong in order to save their face and invariably they have failed me. Church is meant for sinners irrespective of their position and as such no one should be above chastising. I hope after my demise our father in the Lord would have enough evidence to correct the wrong of my beloved husband. No wonder my so-called husband was able to trick the church who also lured me to take off the safety and protection order and stop me from getting a separation that I so long for. On my dying bed I made copies of telephone bills showing his immoral communication with a worker in the church at Athlone but there was still no sufficient evidence………

The church that should be a place of refuge became a place of torment for me. I hope you can also enjoy your new relationship with Sheila, I learnt you told some of your church members that I asked her to look after my kids because I was sick in the hospital whereas she keeps malice with me just because of your sex romp with her. Oti, you left my children at home for two days and went to sleep with your girl friend in Athlone. You also asked my under-aged children to travel on bus to Athlone by themselves while I was on the hospital bed. I loved you but you failed me and you know it.

The bitter pill that I have to swallow is the fact that I can no longer be there for my lovely girls .Their beloved father despised them so because I could not make a male child (you claimed that I was unable to have a boy child because I did not drink from the anointing oil which you asked me to drink and that makes you detest me too). I am deeply sorry that I did not drink it; maybe that would have spared me of some lashes. Our lovely first daughter at age twelve said, “Mummy I don’t think I will get married” This is as a result of the abuse that my child suffered from our marriage… If you are a loved one and you know my daughter, please help me say to her that marriage is to be enjoyed and not endured….. I want her to be married and make me proud!

Oti, why do you always run away from your problems rather than resolving them? You left Nigeria because of your involvement in fraud at the bank which you never resolved. As I speak you owe my mother a sum of one million, two hundred thousand naira which you have no plan to repay. How come you had issues even with your own sibling in the U.K to such an extent that you poisoned her…..? That is the more reason why I was so scared for my life. You are such a difficult person, the community welfare officer , our GP, Olive at Hartstown , the Child protection unit at Finglas and our father in the Lord tried their best to advise you to no avail. You were not ready to make me happy.

Noble Jagha, you wanted me dead as soon as possible. I still wonder why you refused to come with me for separation times and again when I asked that we should part ways. I know your intent may be to make gains from my years of labour at Anpost. I worked so hard to pay the rent, to feed us and even paid some of your fees to pursue your MBA. Despite all my effort you were never satisfied, even on my sick bed you demanded for money…..I hope you are happy that you have them all and you can feed your numerous girlfriends with them. I plead with you and I besiege all that reads this to appeal to you that you do the following after my demise which is of utmost importance (I hope you will heed advice for once).

1. That you may put in trust/fixed deposit for my daughters all monies raised from my burial and benefits from my workplace having paid all expenses incurred and other personal loan taking from my friends during my period of illness. My daughters need to know I care for them even in my grave.
2. That, I have a will in which I have named the executors to my will and joint custodians of our children. The lawyer will keep you posted in due course, please adhere!
3. Oti you can also pay any money that you owe from the monies before the account is opened.
4. Kindly pay my mother the money you owe her too before the account is fixed.
5. I want my mother to be a part of my children’s life, please don’t deprive her.
6. Oti make peace with my family and friends (stop making enemies out of the people that helps me).
Oti, it may surprise you but I have to let you know that I have the password to your facebook account and email accounts! How come I am not on your friend list? Why did you also refuse to tell me the cause of your mother’s death? I know she died of cancer! Hmmmm
Oti does not love me; he could not stay with me in sickness despite the fact that I loved him more than my children. Hhmmmm

I hope my mother can forgive me for not heeding her advice in respect of my choice of marriage and I pray that God gives her and my father the fortitude to bear this irreparable lost. It is too late to cry when the head is off.

Thank you for not leaving me alone in my time of troubles and needs my sisters, thank you sister for going to Olive’s school, please follow up with Emmanuel as planned, I don’t want my children to suffer. I am so worried …..I am tired. I don’t want you people to go, don’t leave me alone. I want someone to sleep here with me tonight.

[size=15pt]As smelly and disgusting as it is[/size], it inexplicably wields a lot of Power!

[size=20pt]Technically, women control Nigeria.[/size]


Women rights are unnecessary.

collynzo2: No, the onus is on you to determine the difference between those trying to use propaganda to encourage others to adopt their weird lifestyle and people who were born of a particular colour/race. No comparison whatsoever.

Discrimination does not care about race, gender, or sexual orientation. Applauding the Russians for discriminating one group makes it difficult to rationalize when they discriminate another.

Its is even worse when one of the 'discriminated' is complicit in the discrimination of the other 'discriminated'.

The situation is akin to Gay Russians shouting that 'blacks are monkeys and they deserve to be lynched' forgetting the serious nature of their own predicament. The irony is astounding.

Fair enough you dont like gays, it is devious to now follow the enemy in criticizing them, an enemy that will not waste any moment in giving you the same treatment.

collynzo2: This whole comparing blacks with gays thing is becoming ridiculous, apart from the bloviations of that renowned geneticist Lady Gaga, there is no scientific proof that gays are born that way, so you all should stop sthe silly comparison.

How is it 'silly comparison'?

Its just about ok to discriminate and kill blacks, but its better to discriminate gays?

My point remains elusive to some because bigotry blinds their ability to reason. I don't care about your feelings towards gays.

Regardless of sentiments, blacks and gays in Russia have a common enemy, and that is the ignorance of majority of the Russians. Hundreds of Nigerians are being discriminated and killed in Russia, yet Nigerians are joining them in celebrating the victimization of another group.

If you fail to see the fallacy in that, then I'm sorry. Not much that I can do.

lol.

D'banj is my guy, his tenacity and business acumen are attributes I find inspiring.

However, this song just reveals his creative short-comings. The beat is nice though.


Don Jazzy's creative absence becomes more evident with every new song that he releases.

Cringe-worthy lyrics.

porka: 1) No, they are not.

DOUBLE STANDARD is.

DISCRIMINATION is.

And you raised both issues, check.

Just following your logic actually.

2) So what is conveniently ignoring to talk about nations that discriminate against your race and kind because they are simply tolerant of another group?

It's SLAVERY, and it's worse than ignorance and any form of madness.

You are letting your hatred for the group becloud your objectivity. Double standard is when you are being discriminated by your oppressor, yet you join the oppressor in discriminating another group. Follow that logic.

porka: Meanwhile you own double standard is not hidden here as well.

Black people are routinely killed in America and the UK but you chose to ignore that simply because they share your view on homosexuality, i.e. anti-discrimination.

Black people are racially profiled and not properly integrated into the system despite centuries of living in those countries.

Germany and France discriminate against blacks as well, yet you didn't mention them in your 'racist nations on earth'. You would have come across as a very anti-discrimination hero had you not conveniently omitted naming the other 'racist nations earth'.

And no, identifying with a nation that share your view on a particular issue is not celebration of discrimination.

Nigeria (people and government) is against homosexuality, Russia (people and government) is against homosexuality, what's wrong with showing affiliation?

Germany,France, USA and United Kingdom are not the subject matter here. When a thread is opened regarding their views on homosexuality, then we can debate on the issue.

Identifying with a nation that discriminates your color and your kind, but celebrate when they discriminate another group is nothing short of madness and ignorance.

As much as the subject of Gay acceptance is very subjective, I do not think that we ,as Nigerians, should be celebrating discrimination, especially coming from one of the most racist nations on earth.

I hope those of you praising and congratulating Russia on this move are also celebrating Russia's discrimination and resentment of black people in their country. Several Nigerians and ethnic minorities are butchered yearly because Russians are less tolerable of foreigners just as they are less tolerable of Gays.

As much as we may not accept the lifestyles of the Gay community, we must not celebrate their discrimination either. Especially as our race has been one of the most discriminated race in history, a testament that is still very poignant in current times.

Russia's discrimination should not be celebrated regardless of race, gender or orientation. If you feel otherwise, then you must accept the discrimination of the other groups and avoid double standards.

It is impossible to underestimate the division religion causes among people, even those of the same race, background and tribe.

The animosity is astounding. How can one claim to love God and it's creations but yet show so much disdain at the same time.

This is sad. I hope the respective gods are proud and content with the behavior of their respective subjects.

10 characteristics of conspiracy theorists
A useful guide by Donna Ferentes



1. Arrogance. They are always fact-seekers, questioners, people who are trying to discover the truth: sceptics are always "sheep", patsies for Messrs Bush and Blair etc.

2. Relentlessness. They will always go on and on about a conspiracy no matter how little evidence they have to go on or how much of what they have is simply discredited. (Moreover, as per 1. above, even if you listen to them ninety-eight times, the ninety-ninth time, when you say "no thanks", you'll be called a "sheep" again.) Additionally, they have no capacity for precis whatsoever. They go on and on at enormous length.

3. Inability to answer questions. For people who loudly advertise their determination to the principle of questioning everything, they're pretty poor at answering direct questions from sceptics about the claims that they make.

4. Fondness for certain stock phrases. These include Cicero's "cui bono?" (of which it can be said that Cicero understood the importance of having evidence to back it up) and Conan Doyle's "once we have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however unlikely, must be the truth". What these phrases have in common is that they are attempts to absolve themselves from any responsibility to produce positive, hard evidence themselves: you simply "eliminate the impossible" (i.e. say the official account can't stand scrutiny) which means that the wild allegation of your choice, based on "cui bono?" (which is always the government) is therefore the truth.

5. Inability to employ or understand Occam's Razor. Aided by the principle in 4. above, conspiracy theorists never notice that the small inconsistencies in the accounts which they reject are dwarfed by the enormous, gaping holes in logic, likelihood and evidence in any alternative account.

6. Inability to tell good evidence from bad. Conspiracy theorists have no place for peer-review, for scientific knowledge, for the respectability of sources. The fact that a claim has been made by anybody, anywhere, is enough for them to reproduce it and demand that the questions it raises be answered, as if intellectual enquiry were a matter of responding to every rumour. While they do this, of course, they will claim to have "open minds" and abuse the sceptics for apparently lacking same.

7. Inability to withdraw. It's a rare day indeed when a conspiracy theorist admits that a claim they have made has turned out to be without foundation, whether it be the overall claim itself or any of the evidence produced to support it. Moreover they have a liking (see 3. above) for the technique of avoiding discussion of their claims by "swamping" - piling on a whole lot more material rather than respond to the objections sceptics make to the previous lot.

8. Leaping to conclusions. Conspiracy theorists are very keen indeed to declare the "official" account totally discredited without having remotely enough cause so to do. Of course this enables them to wheel on the Conan Doyle quote as in 4. above. Small inconsistencies in the account of an event, small unanswered questions, small problems in timing of differences in procedure from previous events of the same kind are all more than adequate to declare the "official" account clearly and definitively discredited. It goes without saying that it is not necessary to prove that these inconsistencies are either relevant, or that they even definitely exist.

9. Using previous conspiracies as evidence to support their claims. This argument invokes scandals like the Birmingham Six, the Bologna station bombings, the Zinoviev letter and so on in order to try and demonstrate that their conspiracy theory should be accorded some weight (because it's “happened before”.) They do not pause to reflect that the conspiracies they are touting are almost always far more unlikely and complicated than the real-life conspiracies with which they make comparison, or that the fact that something might potentially happen does not, in and of itself, make it anything other than extremely unlikely.

10. It's always a conspiracy. And it is, isn't it? No sooner has the body been discovered, the bomb gone off, than the same people are producing the same old stuff, demanding that there are questions which need to be answered, at the same unbearable length. Because the most important thing about these people is that they are people entirely lacking in discrimination. They cannot tell a good theory from a bad one, they cannot tell good evidence from bad evidence and they cannot tell a good source from a bad one. And for that reason, they always come up with the same answer when they ask the same question.

A person who always says the same thing, and says it over and over again is, of course, commonly considered to be, if not a monomaniac, then at very least, a bore.

Inevitably, there are certain individuals on this forum with some of the above characteristics.

Ezegozie: i would have voted LUPEY, but she is too proud of herself. Thats one notorious xter with law students. They are always so arrogant.

Anyway, i love humble girls, and judging from the replies those ladies gave as the answer to their question. And also judging from their physical appearance and composure, i vote for GRAISE.

I really like the girl's beauty and humility.
Thanks

I'm sure its possible to vote without insulting the other contestants. That can't be too difficult. Mods hope you are observing

joeydozzy: find sleekchic's selling point and stop making noise

Thank You.

You can't fight the opinion of the masses.


lol. Nice try though, you know the winner already, you can't bring yourself to accept it.

I understand.

190: can i vote for 2 please

Confused??

Are you a man or woman?

If you are a Man, you should not have asked that question.

On a Simpler note, who do you think will make your enemies quiver when you walk her down the aisle??

Who will make your uncles give you 'thumbs up' when you take her to the 1st family function?

L is the letter. Go figure the figure

Inik: You shouldn't have mentioned Lupey's name, you are about to stir up controversy with this statement cos we can deduce from here that you are biased towards a certain candidate

You do not need to worry. Counting from page to page is not rocket science and is something we can all do.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]You can bet you last shilling on that. Some have been voting lupey thrice. [/color]

-Sigh-

How can you blame them. Beauty has been discovered to affect Men in stranger ways.
