And her Nigerian accent is cringe-worthy, when they don't have us sounding South African or Kenyan, they get the most crude version of the Nigerian accent (which is usually some bottom level Yoruba accent for the UK), and pass it off as Nigerian, so that their white audience can laugh at the African accent.

CultureRe: What Caused Disagreement Between Igbo And Yoruba On Nairaland by DeeMain(m):
It's the Civil War and its aftermath.

It's what happens when there is no real truth, healing, reconciliation and integration process and structure after a painful and traumatic civil(family) war.

The bitterness and hate lingers sometimes for generations unless men arise to say enough is enough and a conscious process of truth, forgiveness, healing and reconciliation is instituted.

A new generation of Igbos and Yorubas need to rise up to this onerous challenge ...

Let's heal our land!

He is very mistaken and his assertions lack understanding. Slay Queens may not attend mid-weeks but you may well end with one deadlier than a Slayer; the Spiritual Woman.

A spiritual woman lacks basic understanding and is uninstuctable, a hard nut. She is not virtuous and will feed you unhappiness in time to come. She will pray, fast, and sing, but you will be left uncared for.

Follow your heart to the doorsteps of a God-fearing woman or a woman who is teachable. There you will find rest. She will listen to your words and please you. She will rub off on you the genuine love she has for God.

Richdad
Your understanding of a spiritual woman is naive. A spiritual woman is a woman that is led by the spirit, whose actions and behaviours and reactions and fruits are based on the Word not on feelings or sensory perceptions.

The woman you are describing is a carnal Christian who might love God genuinely but whose mind and fruits have not been transformed by the Word. She may have all the passion for God and be tongue talking but there is no depth to it. She is instead ruled by her senses.

FamilyRe: I Told My Husband That I Cheated On Him. Now He Wants A Divorce. by DeeMain(m):
I really feel for you that it came to this. I tried to warn you in my posts on that thread but the tell-him-mob drowned the thread. Such things require wisdom.

Here is what I wrote in one of my replies to one of the tell-him proponents:

I do not support cheating in any guise neither do I support the lynching pharisees of this world. Let her go to God and ask for wisdom. She might tell her husband and the man murders her or divorces her or hates her forever. She might go to God in genuine repentance and confess her sins and ask for mercy and turn out to be the best wife ever. Let her seek wisdom.

Unless you can provide a biblical basis for your assertion that she must confess to her husband to be forgiven by God then this debate is over.
Not many men can handle confessions of sexual indiscretion from girlfriends not to talk of wife. Imagine how mercilessly Nairaland judged you in that thread. That should have given you a clue.

Yes, confessing such could get you killed because of a sudden forceful lethal impulse in humans called crime of passion. Also for you to have chosen to tell him you should have counted the cost but it seems you didn't or did not really know your man like you thought you did.

And sadly the world will judge you very harshly. That is the truth.

Now, what do you do? Let's think solutions.

You need help now. Go and see a therapist to help you let go the emotional turmoil or a trusted pastor that can help you overcome this spiritually. Please, do not make the mistake of trying to handle this on your own. Do not take your life please. Seek help now before you snap. May God help you.

If you don't know how to proceed, you can contact me by responding here or sending me a pm. it's not the end of the world. You can still make lemonades when life gives you lemons but first you need to take responsibility for your mistakes and confront life head on. You can still win. Yes, you can.

Sad but be careful of your pet or 'guy' name. 'Nkita ara' means a Mad Dog. Some names you allow for the sake of fun and peers will ultimately design your downfall or failure in life.

I remember a young dude in our youthful days whose pet name was 'destroyer'. He enjoyed the echoes of the name and would always be at the forefront of acrimony. Years passed and boys became men but he never rose. He suffered through life and everything and biz he touched never worked. They were destroyed.

CultureRe: Ooni Ogunwusi Hosts Eze Chukwuemeka Eri by DeeMain(m):
BeautifulMind2:
[s][/s]

Onitsha Mmili was known as Ado N'Idu by migrants who departed from the vicinity of the Kingdom of Benin near the far western portion of Igboland (near what is now Agbor), after a violent dispute with the Oba of Benin that can be tentatively dated to the early 1500s. These migrants traveled eastward through what is now Western Igboland and various towns also called "Onitsha", for example Onicha-Ugbo, "farmland-Onitsha". Folklore has it that, Onitsha was founded by one of the sons of Chima, the founder of Issele-Uku kingdom in western Igboland. Chima, a prince who emigrated, settled and founded what is now known as Issele-Uku in Aniocha North Local Government Area. The eldest son of Chima eventually emigrated across the Niger River to establish the Onitsha community.
After their arrival on the east bank (Onicha-mmili, "Onitsha-on-water", see above), the community gradually became a unitary kingdom, evolving from a loosely organized group of "royal" villages to encompass "non-royal" villages comprising Igala settlers, and the native Igbos to form a more centralized entity. Eze Aroli was apparently the first genuinely powerful Obi of Onitsha, the ruler of the city.
What is the Benin name of Eze Chima? None exists. This should be a pointer to a story that is not fully revealed yet. Most migrations eastward were made by kings that had Igbo names, including Akalaka and ihuroha of Ikwerre land. Why don't they have Benin names? Why?

Benin was a great Kingdom and a cosmopolitan and spiritual capital back then. This may have attracted the movement of who is who in adjoining regions including Igboland to the Benin Kingdom and they may have been assimilated and given positions and heritages in the Benin Kingdom.

When divisive trouble came to Benin people like Eze Chima had to migrate back to Igboland, their original homeland with all their people leading to the formation of all the Igbolands on both sides of the Niger river.

This is a story that makes more sense to me and would explain why these areas have traditions that are a mixture of those of Benin Kingdom and Igboland.

She may kill your wife just to have you.

She may maim or kill you if you try to leave her.

You may have infected your wife with STDs.

Divorce or a dysfunctional family is the seed you may have planted. The harvest may be coming. Be prepared.

The slut may well be saving the worst for last. Her mission might be to destroy you and your family no matter what it takes. So be ready for craze 2.0 if you want to dump her.

You are a weak man and she knows it.

There will be consequences no matter the road you take.

You may decide to stop being a sissy and man up and take back control of your life.

For once in your life take the courageous path. Redeem yourself before it's too late.

FamilyRe: My Wife Abandoned Me While On A BP Of 250/150.(A Cameroonian Nairalander's Tale) by DeeMain(m):
grandlexuzz:
Thanks for your 2 kobo. You certainly very right about the damning effects of stress. However the sky-rocketing of my BP was guessingly tied to some hormonal disorders. That said a stress free environment would have helped with healing. Imagine being stressed while on a BP of 220 and about. Infact by her actions and utterances I developed severe anxiety. Had to be put on Melex for two months. Her slogan had become " I don't care what people say. Let them talk" Offcourse neighbours were grumbling, whispering and cursing!
Guy, I am a health therapist so I didn't write you out of ignorance. When doctors say hormonal imbalance is the cause. The next logical question is what caused my hormones to become imbalanced? The body creates balance through homeostasis. When that balance is disrupted something led to it. Usually stress is the culprit and stress could come from myriad and unimaginable sources.

Mind, body and spirit are inseparable. If your mind or spirit is not at ease, before long your body will show that unease or 'dis-ease' as disease. It's why even doctors are prescribing lifestyle changes as healing tools.

Hormonal imbalance is at the body level. To solve the problem permanently you need to move to another level (you can't solve a problem at the same level that created it). The next level is the mind.

So my question still stands: what are the stories/events in your history that so disturbed(dis-eased) your mind that your hormones (body) had to go haywire and afflict your heart (body) with disease?

This will help you find the cause(s).

Scientific evidence in mind-body medicine is teaching us that what happens in our mind affects our body. Google mind-body medicine for more on this.
FamilyRe: My Wife Abandoned Me While On A BP Of 250/150.(A Cameroonian Nairalander's Tale) by DeeMain(m):
And you are still planning to welcome her back into your life just like that?

Do you know if she was a risk factor for the High BP you developed?

Stress is responsible for 90% of all diseases -
WHO. Have you determined the stress behind what ailed you?

Marital pain and tension, spousal abuse, rejection and unrequited love, marital betrayal or disappointment or regrets, resentment, unforgiveness are all forms of stress. You must determine the problems or stresses that hassled your life before the illness and avoid those problems or people.

Many heart problems emanate from heart issues. Sometimes our hearts can't bear it any more and cries out with physical symptoms.

Resolving those painful issues and freeing your heart from the burdens and toxicity can aid your healing. This is the spiritual angle to your healing.

'Dis-eases' can lead to diseases. And yes, avoid toxic people for now.

My 2 kobo

Eschew That "nobody holy pass slogan" Many people are more holy than others right from the beginning of time till now. sins aint equal if you read your scripture well. Christ told Pilate that those who handed him over to him (Pilate) are guilty of greater sin. Jn. 19:11 And same John taught about categories of sin: sin leading to death and not. 1 Jn. 5:16-17. Adultery like fornication is one sin God frowns at in his commandment. But as a loving and merciful father he forgives. However, no matter what advise people give her, if it doesnt include confession to her husband she hurts God won't even forgive her. It is sad we live in an era that trivialises sin. For the umpteenth time, many people are holy than others.
Hogwash, this your postulation has no new testament basis unless you are wiser than Jesus who forgave the adulterous woman and exposed the hypocritical Pharisees.

Christianity is about the finished work of Christ at the cross. It is called grace. Her sins are all forgiven all she needs to do is believe in Christ and confess him as her Lord and saviour.

You have ingrained within you an old testament mindset of tit for tat and an ear for an ear. A testament in which righteousness was based on the 10 laws and the 600 plus rules and regulations and if you disobeyed one you had disobeyed all. Such that no one could keep them and stand and so all sinned and had come short of the glory of God as a result. They had to resort to sacrificing the blood of animals to cleanse them from there sins.

Whereas in the new testament righteousness is a gift. All that is required is believe and you are saved and when you sin you ask for forgiveness and the same blood that saved you will blot out all your sins.

This is the gospel. No other gospel should any man preach.

How dumb are you? Inherited genes and diseases are things that can be proven. Show me the evidence for inherited spiritual problems.

How dumb are you?
Just because science told you about inherited genes and behaviours and qualities you believed but you can't draw the logical conclusion that inherited diseases are also inherited problems by another name.

That you can't draw this simple conclusion, that ancestral problems, patterns in the bloodline/lineage, family patterns are in the same scheme as hereditary diseases, is to me a failure of the imagination.

Now to proofs. Do you know about quantum physics - the science of subatomic particles, the science of things we can't see? Google it . Study it. Let science and scientific evidence cure your spiritual ignorance for good like it did mine.

Here is a taster:

Spirituality lets us know we are all spirits that have a soul that live in a body.

Similarly, quantum physics tells us we and the entire universe are all subatomic particles that behave like a wave and a particle and that these subatomic particles are synchronously and simultaneously communicating with each other across time and space in infinite possibilities and infinite potentials.

That everything is everywhere at the same time and that our consciousness(the observer) is what makes a possibility manifest in our lives.

In lay man's terms, science is letting us know there is no distance in the spirit/subatomic world neither is there a time difference as everything exists now.

So do you understand when I say hereditary diseases are similar to hereditary problems? Think subatomically. Think spirit. Everything past, present and future all exist in the present.

In the spirit/subatomic realm, the only time we have is the present, the past and the future do not exist. So your ancestors and their problems/qualities/covenants and blessings are with you now.

Conversely, it is our consciousness that activates these problems. It is our consciousness that can deactivate them. It is also our consciousness that can activate God's supernatural blessings to work in our lives.


And finally, leave the infantile insults for kids.
