Why are you quoting me to this thread
Have you not enough on your hands blaming God for the process of ageing?
You've not thanked God for the gift of life but you blame God for the limitations of the living
Hmmm

+
I didn't specifically blame God for old age, I questioned if the trials of age do will not make us question the mercies of God.

One of the easiest way to deplete the value of your property is by renting it to Yahoo boys. Unfortunately, some people brag that they always pay well. But they forget that in most cases, they find it difficult to renew their tenancy and also if you are not tactical enough, forcing them out is never easy. Some diabolically send the house owner far away from the property.

+
The bold is heavy with more than it is saying openly.

Lastpharoah33:
Like I said earlier, I have been around Old people more often than not.

When I was still serving, under the igbo apprenticeship program, my master then was a wealthy billionaire (no mince of words) in naira.

Man had a full house. 8 children, 5 of us as apprentices, wife still around, a full house like I said. I was his closest servant then, I understood his emotional,physical, psychological struggles.

His health took the greatest toll on him, dude was literally leaving on drugs. He had diabetes, ulcer, high BP, cholesterol. But did put his sh!t together I must say.

Another thing was his own siblings, always at loggerheads. Even when all of them are well off. He's a devoted Christian, a Roman Catholic.

I think, the struggles that comes with old age is not determined by how pious the individual is, notable figures in the Bible had their own fair share. It's basic biology I suppose.

+
Thanks for sharing.

Dtruthspeaker:
The topic is on death and not on infirmity of blindness. And on death, believers die differently from others. And that is what I am saying. And even you have heard it so just like me but because i saw it with my own eyes is why I can tell you that death of a believer is different from others whether you like or not. It will always be like this.

So all y'all lamenting about death, is because you get that God has shown you people your future

+
It's truly no use interacting with you. You don't even know the topic.

omoredia:
Nigerians are more illiterate than even other African countries

+
FALSE.

Dtruthspeaker:
I am the creature who faces the Truth as it is. I hate watered down Truth.

That was in answer to the question why the man was born blind. It did not say that the man is holy

+
It did not say that the man disbelieved or had sinned either! Whereas you point to an illness as evidence of disbelief. While Jesus clearly says its not necessarily the case!

Why do I even bother with you.

Dtruthspeaker:
I know I am supposed to say thank you but in truth i don't think it is appropriate for it is not my loss but a lesson. A lesson God has been warning man since He washed the world but people never listen. Rather they have grown worser and worser. In the same hospital in my hearing, a nurse was telling a mother complaining about the cost of delivery, she told the mother that she should leave her child and that by the time she comes someone would have purchased her child, just like that. What an ivu, made even boldly

And then people like Reed think that it shouldn't get worser?

This is a case of the world is reaping some of the fruits they have planted as they listened and followed people like Reed. It is only going to get worse and death for the condemned cannot be described it is a terrible sight

+
Please stop saying "worser."
Well maybe Kukutente23 will agree with you.

Dtruthspeaker:
For him to get stroke means that he did not believe.

+
Jesus Christ, what manner of creature are you ? ? ? ?

Even your bible teaches different -

"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."
— John 9:3 (NIV)

Lastpharoah33:
You read that right,

Disturbing right?

+
It is not disturbing because I think of the exact same thing all the time. I often even think that at a certain age or stage, I would rather call it a day myself.

udemzyudex:
So traditional marriage certificate is not standard, you're definitely a waste of time.

Deepsight my foot.

+
For one who is unable to say who the issuing authority is, I would not worry about your insults.

BTW do you always wake up this angry or are you just too arrogant to learn?

Half knowledge is terrible you know?

Dtruthspeaker:
Whether old or young when a condemd is dying, it is always a horrible experience. I just went through the experience of watching a family member die yesterday and so now I know first hand a lot more about dying and death. And i pity all those who are enemies of God

+
Condolences on your loss. And please it is not for you to know or say who is condemned as you are not the judge.

udemzyudex:
A simple s1lly question you say cos I already answered you yet you still repeat the same nonsense question and you expect me to play the s1lly game with you?
If you have nothing reasonable to post go and take several seats.

Simple.

+
How is a question about who issues the certificate silly. That can never be silly. It's a perfectly valid question. Anyone can see that. You are just over reacting because you obviously hadn't thought what you said through.

Anyways enjoy and good luck and thanks for your unwarranted insults and aggression.

cc: unknownqueen. Please note that for standard marriage certificates you will have to do a marriage in a religious establishment such as a church or mosque or a court marriage.

Lastpharoah33:
I'm not alone with these thoughts after all.


I have been around advanced people a lot, so I'm very much abreast with your observations.

All I can say is, God has nothing to do with all of of this. We don't even know we'll be here in the 1st place. Leaving here whether young or really old doesn't matter, to me at least but I usually mutter a silent prayer to experience the former.

+
Do I understand you right that you pray for a younger passing to avoid the problems of deep old age?

udemzyudex:
Go and take several seats if you have nothing reasonable to post.

+
Lol. A simple question leads you t this?

Whats annoying you? I thought you were here to help?

The acceptance of traditional marriages as legal by foreign countries is a complex and doubtful matter.

As to what you could have answered with, I was expecting that you could say a Local Government could issue a document attesting to it in the absence of which an affidavit of marrriage could be sworn.

unknownqueen please take note.

LordReed:
Bro it is one of my greatest pains rn. I have an infirm parent who has suffered multiple strokes, the contrast between their current condition and when they were in good health is heartbreaking. Mind you they are a believer in god, Jesus and all that jazz. Goes to show all that is just not really relevant to RL.

+
I am so terribly sorry to hear this. I wish you and yours strength and healing and fortitude and also the presence to enjoy each other still. The situation strikes a deep chord with me as its very close to home. Very.

udemzyudex:
A certificate is usually issued after a traditional marriage or didn't you get yours?

+
By who?

Someone sent me this:

"#Repost
If and only If we can start taking Marriage vows before Amadioha, Sango and their brethren, many marriages will experience more bliss.

People stand before God and lie because he is very patient with us.

Just imagine that you took a vow before 'Arusi Njaba' that you won't cheat or hit your woman, that you would provide for her, that you won't abuse her in any way; if you go against your vow, its instant judgement.

Most of us will then learn to respect our vows. I would rather that people don't take marital vows serious any longer.

I feel it is mockery and it is no longer funny."

Copyright, Victor Ibeh 2016

I agree. I had a male friend who stopped attending weddings simply because it was a waste of time, to him. He didn't understand husbands' behaviors. He refused be complicit in helping them hide affairs and cheating whilst inviting him over for lunch with their spouse and kids the next day. He got tired of the mockery of marriage. Church wedding has become a joke, I'd rather celebrate Traditional Wedding in my village in front of some wooden deity.


2025 update: Marital Vows should be taken in a proper religious setting that you respect and adhere to. I quite like the Church for mine.

+
You changed your mind?

Onegai:
I will disagree with some of your point and brain54's points, too

(Good morning, btw)

Firstly, Commercial Airplanes can literally fly themselves. Everything has been done for them in the cockpit excepts checks with ATC towers, infact almost every plane mishap nowadays is due to Pilot Error rather than mechanical failures. But we need pilots still.

Telemedicine has moved further ahead in China and USA. It's not doing so well in the USA, a dental student in a rural clinic just died.

China seems to be doing AI better.

Thirdly, Machine Learning is great (even Lego is now pushing Machine Learning ahead of Engineering and Robotics, at kids). Chatbots are crap (Claude, ChatGPT etc).

Why?

In education purposes, they're slowly eroding human ability to reason and logic properly. Teachers and professors are now seeing serious degradation in students' ability to memorize and learn and keep any new information. Human beings are losing brain plasticity very quickly. Medically, that's really bad (lots of diseases coming up pretty quickly, your elderly parents were healthier than us).

Let me put it this way: your reliance on AI to do basic things doesn't free you up to do complex things because we evolved by doing basic things and made it complex. AI is devolving us. To understand how bad human devolution may end up, there was a weird Sci-Fi show called "Raised By Wolves". Also, books like Aldous Huxley "Brave New World", where everyone is assigned roles from birth.

We will also need population control since "hey, we don't need so many humans, AI will do most of it!". Guess which race will be on the chopping block first, due to the fact that politicians globally and even the billionaires with AI companies keep saying openly "some cultures don't contribute much, ya know". I mean, just look at how once anti-inmigration sentiment has been pushed for the last decade quietly on social media and has exploded to the point people don't care if migrant boats full of people who look like you and I get shot and drowned at sea.

Turkeys and Chickens shouldn't vote for Christmas.

We are being forced AI done our throats whether we want it or not (I was writing a personal email and AI kept asking if I needed help to draft it or "let's fine tune it", nope no need, this needs to feel human).

Ask yourself why?

+
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. You have earned a new follower.

udemzyudex:
Who told you traditional marriage is not recognised in the eyes of the law?

Take am play first.

Just make sure you're issued a certificate after the marriage.

+
And where do you get the certificate from?

UnknownQueen:
Really ...

Thanks for clarifying for me....

+
Hold on. Let us explain better after he replies.

Dtruthspeaker:
You don dey feel the heat abi? You ain't seen nothing yet.

To the post, it is only cus people who complaining about old age. And they are the same ones who life for them was already bitter even when they were young.

And this is in addition to the fact that since you people have fallen for Satan's trap, so more cuses of diseases have fallen on you people unlike in the past were 80yr olds still went to their farms

So, you don't bring God into this matter but it is the result of you people's increased sins. So, you are just lamenting about the various ways God has set life do deal with you ivu pips

+
You are insensitive. Maybe you fell from the sky and dont have parents or maybe they didnt grow old or maybe you didnt witness it.

MaxInDHouse:
Old age wasn't part of God's purpose for us {Job 33:25} it came along with sin {Romans 3:23} so long or short life means nothing to the true God {Genesis 5:23-24} because this is not what real life means to Him! 1Timothy 6:19
What God promised His worshipers is everlasting life! Psalms 37:29; John 3:16

+
I am talking about the peculiar infirmities and vulnerabilities of old age and old age related illnesses which can be extreme and depressing.

Does watching the many extreme infirmities, indignities and vulnerabilities of old age not take away in many cases the joy of living a long and ripe life and lead many to question the mercies and intentions of our creator?

Sure. Just don't be a camel and don't approach the eye if any needle.

cococandy:
Trump was loud about how he wanted to weaponize the immigration system and she loved that and voted for it. It cost her, her son’s life.

But her TDS can’t let her blame DJT for what happened. Even though he clearly emboldened ICE to go after anyone who doesn’t look white. And emboldened them to use lethal force for what amounts to civil disobedience even if the culprit is illegal (which he was not).

I do wish everyone gets to personally taste the effects of whatever they voted for and hoped to happen to others. In this case this dead boy probably didn’t vote for Trump. But his mom did and now he’s the one who suffered it.

+
There is no reward in supporting him at all events. Marjorie Taylor Greene told him by text message that her son was receiving death threats because of her criticism of him. He responded saying that the son deserves it.

basilico:
Letter released by Ratcliffe as head of DNI in 2020 shows Intelligence Community had info about Clinton plan to tie Putin to Trump.
Brennan specifically briefed Obama and top FBI officials.
FBI went ahead to ignore the intelligence and instead investigated Trump for Russia collusion. They used the Steele dossier to spy on the Trump campaign.

Obama knew, he let his pantsies create the hoax , then sat back as FBI, Mueller ,Ciaramela etc did their best to remove a sitting president.

In other words Obama is a Traitor. He can't be charged because he is black.

Deepsight.

+
Trump is a confirmed Russian asset.

basilico:
Twas deliberate. I usually do that many times. I've corrected by capitalizing And.

That was not the error, and you still dont know the two errors even when I put them in bold, but no matter.

Oya,come and lambast sultan of sokoto


And then go to another thread to go and shout North-Kwankwaso for peter OBI



You know those people I am talking about

And I know your other moniker.

IkeOnyia:
For the Sultan to be directly linked to terrorism in Nigeria, the Americans must have had watertight evidences through intelligence.

I have maintained that the Sultan as well as some Sheikhs in the north are behind this Islamic jihadist onslaught to take over the whole country in obedience to the command of their forefather Ahmadu Bello.

+
Lol. Anything Americans say must be true. Like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. And like the lies of Trump which are approaching 100, 000 provable lies.

basilico:
Thanks .
X is Elon Musk gift to the world. A community where the left has no say,cannot ban you. A safe space like bluesky . I bet he values it more than Tesla.

It is entirely possible for one to deploy ones intellect to the services of slavery. Believe you me, a system as advanced and as well thought out as the three way trade would never have existed without intellect behind it. So calm down, HN, no one says that the intellect is not often wrongly deployed. Indeed, many of the worst men in history have also been well read and even clever.

Quisling was well educated you know?
Do you know what his name means in English today?

Jean Jacques Rousseau and ​Martin Heidegger for example, are two staggering intellectual philosophical giants who were morally less than desirable. One was a Nazi and the other abandoned his children.

Intellect and moral clarity are not the same thing.
