Crime › Re: Interview With Relatives Of Sofiat Kehinde Lady Killed For Rituals In Abeokuta by derecho(m):
If this happened this year(2022), the girl was 23+.
She was born 1998 according to the interview.

Though an unfortunate incidence, but the girl was wayward(Truth be told).

She knew she was going for an immoral affair. She had befriended one of the murderers(Mustakeem) before the new boyfriend Soliu.
To think that these guys were younger than her speaks volume of her self worth.
Too bad...

When the foundation is faulty.

When a marriage is not built on the right foundation, this is always the end result.

Most marriages are built on sexual and lustful desires. Not on true love. That is why sexual offence is usually greeted with drastic and destructive penalties by couples.

Fine, he impregnated another woman, the worst you should do is separate from him until he gets his acts together. Not to kill. No body has the right to take another persons life.

Men too will never learn and stop reasoning with their third legs. Since you can't predict your spouses' reaction to certain situations, why not avoid getting on their nerves?
Once the bolded is fixed, there'd be no need for all that happened. Even if you are offended or slighted, killing would never cross your mind.
Being a wife is beyond being able to spread your legs... Being his helpmeet is what many ladies don't ponder on.
A man however mustn't forget his role.
Politics › Re: APC Has A List Of Persons To Be Lagos Governors - Jide Adediran by derecho(m):
So your mission in life is to die for a party?
I shook my head when you said the guy you asked couldn't come up with anything against tinubu.

So any Yoruba who doesn't believe in Tinubu but Osinbajo is gullible? You better wake up and realize not every Yoruba is tribalistic.Tinubu may be your idol but others are not blinded by tribalism but choose value and honesty. Why would any true born Yoruba choose a Tinubu over an Osinbajo (for example)?
Personally, I wish Akinwunmi Adesina would run.
Rid yourself of hate, friend.
There are many Lagosians who don't want Tinubu and many Yorubas who don't agree with Tinubu. So stop making it look like anyone who doesn't agree with Tinubu is Igbo.
People are watching and reading..
PDPdestroyer:
I don't know if you're Yoruba but I'm glad you just echoed out what I've always said about the gullibility of my tribesmen. It is shocking and portends grave danger to the sane and politically aware Yorubas, the ease with which some so-called Yorubas get brainwashed, especially the younger generation; mainly by social media propaganda.
The Igbos have long discovered that if you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed, and that's why you see their collective efforts at undermining Tinubu with different beer parlour gossips and bare faced lies. I had a conversation with a friend (a Yoruba) who uploaded a video of an Igbo guy abusing Tinubu on his status, I asked the guy why Tinubu is being singled out and what he particularly has against Tinubu? He couldn't come up with any reasonable reason beyond social media brainwashing
I'm afraid if we don't nip this in the bud as quickly as possible, those retards amongst us will be the ones to bring shame and ridicule to Yorubaland. God bless late Chief Obafemi Awolowo for his role in stopping Azikwe in his tracks, on his futile greed-driven attempt to govern the SW, these current crop of liverless, uninformed and politically naive crop of Yoruba youths would have handed it to him on a platter. We're sitting on a keg of gunpowder with such huge number of uninformed and easily brainwashed youths all over Yorubaland

Nice input...but is Resident Pastor same as G.O or his successor? Just curious
jesusjnr2020:
If he didn't, I would have been surprised.

In the Bible days, hardly would one see a religious/spiritual leader handing over leadership to a family member. It was only during the era of the kings, that leadership had to do with the king's bloodline, but see how disastrously it ended.

Even king Solomon who was the son of David, a man after God's heart, provoked God to anger at the end, that God divided the kingdom into two, and would have taken it completely from that lineage, but for remembrance of His servant David.

It hardly succeeds because they are not chosen by God, but often forced to become what they're not inclined to be or don't have the attributes required for that.

I have seen several instances where family members, especially the wives and children, of church leaders have been forced to take over their position, even though they didn't have what it requires to do so, but the result reflected that it was the choice of men, not that of God.

If Moses had handed over to his family member instead of God's chosen one, Joshua, Israel would have never reached the promised land.

If Elijah had handed over to his family member instead of God's chosen one, Elisha, the office of the prophet in Israel would have suffered a significant decline.

If Jesus had handed over to His own family members and not those God chose for Him, His disciples, the Gospel of the Kingdom wouldn't have reached us today.

I believe that this example was what worked for the Redeemed Christian Church of God. It was the choice of God appointed to take over from the founder rather than the choice of men and not just family member.

It's not impossible that the family member of a church leader could be chosen by God to take over from him, but that hardly happens.

This is one area the church must needs get it right if it really wants to reach its full potentials, as the church who leaders were chosen by God did, otherwise it would keep chasing shadows, and never be able to do so.

The position of Leadership is the most important in the church. It supersedes any family interest or reputation, hence it's paramount that it's those who are chosen by God that are appointed to lead.

God bless.
Education › Re: Faith Odunsi Crowned "Mathematics Queen" Of Nigeria And Best In The World by derecho(m): 2:19pm On Jan 24, 2022
True , money affects a man.However, wealth without wisdom is dangerous. You don't go on to marry any lady just because she's "educated" in school and you have money to throw around. Formal Education is equally useless without character.
Except your definition of poverty transcends money.Even at that, no wise man flushes valuable resources down the toilet.This is one major reason employers prefer loyalty/willingness to learn to intelligence.

That said, most girls "doing well" are proud and every man loves respect, even if some would have you believe otherwise, submission is the greatest charm that melts a man.
I know some uneducated girls are also mannerless but the thinking is people tend to act well when they don't have a sense of entitlement.
It's wisdom to see problem afar off and hide yourself than rage on and have yourself destroyed.

true education for me is one that humbles you no matter your possession and achievement. Male or female.
Humility doesn't come easy...A transformation beyond formal education is what produces it.
descarado:
Respect dear, respect.


I read the other day tht it's better to marry an uneducated lady by some low esteemed mofos here.

To massage their ego, this beauty and brain will not have been discovered.

Poverty is the main reason why men feel very inferior when they see a woman doing well.
Poverty and hunger.

It will be well, buhari will go. We pray for better man next time so you all will have something doing instead of following woman for bombom like flies.
Sports › Re: What Clemens Westerhof Told Eguavoen About Super Eagles by derecho(m): 10:18am On Jan 24, 2022
But he was talking about this team. Tunisia being in more finals in previous tournaments is inconsequential.
There are debutants that can outclass defending champions.
What's your honest assessment of the first 45mins if you believed they played well? If the boys are so good and the coach had consistently said he allowed them to express themselves, why wasn't there anything extra from them?I think pride goes before a fall...I became worried when I saw how some guys were praising them to the high heavens because of group stage.
I love the pressers by Eguavoen but I discovered the boys were overconfident and that was their undoing.
I hope Ghana won't use them to redeem their battered image sha.
Zorn:
you are lying those boys played very well. Just that Tunisia is also very good with their game plan . The really took their time to study how to counter our team . And they knew few of our weak points. Don't forget that Tunisia has been in the final of the nations cup more consecutive times than anyone in the continent , They were no under dogs. They had their chance and were lucky.
Politics › Re: Should Swiss Woman, Nwanyiocha Be Made A Commissioner In Anambra? by derecho(m):
First she's become an anambra person by marriage.

Secondly, if she's qualified for the post, Why not?

Imagine, if she's into Tourism, she's likely to attract fellow swiss(for example) into the state than an anambra "Lai Mohammed" who is only skilled in telling white lies. She'd be more believable even if she's just married and domiciled in the state for a few years.
The important thing is competence,eligibility,and sellability.

If she has these qualities, why shouldn't she be given?

By the way,will it be an issue if it was a single Nigerian lady(not even citizen by marriage) being made a "commissioner" abroad? I'm not sure the racists here would kick against it or see it as inferiority complex for "Oyinbos" to appoint a black.

The question was simple. Just contribute if you have something that could be of benefit.

Why no comment? Igbos and hypocrisy and their worship for the white man or anything white. Never seen a tribe with such high inferiority complex. Down to marriage sef,Majority of igbo men aspire to marry a white lady.it even boils down to hunting for very fair Nigerian girls. Reason why they disturb us with Jew nonsense lying theory.
So there are no other women married to Nigeria men that can be recommended for any political position in Anambra? Is it because na oyinbo woman? What if the was a sweet black Kenyan or a Malawian? Should they have recommended her? See the way una inferiority complex dey ooze like ogiri. Ikon Allah

When something is common, you don't excuse it. If you are a Muslim and sincere , you'll know that this is jihad.

Situation changes people, it’s as simple as it is.

Answer my question please

Are there people who have turned away from the teachings despite being trained and taught in the right part?
I don't know how versed you are with scriptures. But let me assume you know the scriptures fairly well.Ever read of kings serving God but "not with a perfect heart"?
The peter you mentioned, what happened to him when he repented?

Change is normal but could mean improvements too.
Humans are naturally inclined to evil but a good trainer with God's help prunes those inclinations.

I asked why is it that everyone doesn't choose to change negatively? Why ?
A person who fully understands the danger of going the wrong way, will never try it.
For people to change negatively, something went wrong somewhere. That's why I obliged you less than 20% (for those who choose to become tearaway) and a possibility of over 90% for people that were properly trained.

If training your child doesn't yeild good behavior/character why waste time?

You do know that there are people who don’t believe in God? And things work out for them just fine...

You’re the one mixing everything up
Cause my argument still is
The Bible passage you quoted is true, but not entirely true in our current society...
There are people who after going through the best teachings and trainings, they go out and forge their own part...
Judas at a point was a follower of Christ
At the end of the day, he forged his own part despite everything he has seen...

Stop making it sound like it doesn’t happen
It does happen...

There are somethings you've not grasped.
For you to think every pastor/priest is convinced speaks volume.
One thing is clear, that verse is inerrant. If you want to know what it means to be convinced, read and digest what Paul meant by "I am fully persuaded... That nothing can separate me from the love of Christ"
You should have asked yourself why others are not yielding.
Like I said, understanding matters.

If you studied your Bible, you'll know that many not accepting Jesus then was foretold.
Finally, if you train your child well, he'll turn out right..
Alohaa:
So what you’re saying is people can’t go through proper training and then turn badhuh

What I understand is, you’re trying to justify the unjustifiable...

Good people can influence bad people
And bad people can influence good people
It’s vice versa

Hahahahaha
What do you mean by were not convinced?
Even the pastors aren’t convinced ?
Even the priest?
C’mon who are we kidding?
There’s a moral decadence in our society, it can eat through any form of training, except that child is strong and has the grace of God...
No amount of parental guidance can tame a child that doesn’t want to be tamed...

In the decades long gone, singing in the church was considered a good character
Going to church was also considered good character
But not any more, you can’t fault it.

Decades ago dreadlocks was considered an abomination
Today people are embracing it...
Society changes, ours including...

No matter how exposed someone is to “right teachings”
They can chose not to follow it
Children grow up and chose their own parts...

Some were born in christian families When they grew up they became atheist etc

Good teachings” even the earliest people where with Jesus Christ, but not all of them accepted him...


So please, people can go through all the right teachings and training and still become whatever they want...

You seem to mix issues.
So someone just wants to eat shit because he wants to eat shit? Funny u

Every man is prone to immorality but some are know/understand the consequence better than others.Where they weak, they ask for grace and flee but the foolish one rages on and is destroyed.
Let me ask you,
If you are sure you'll die if you entered a car, will you enter it?
Many of us misbehave because we believe there's a second chance.
It's our level of understanding and knowledge that's shown when we are tested.

The smoker ting don't believe what's written on those packs.

Do you remember the days of Ebola or what's the name of that pandemic that the Liberian brought into Nigeria?
How many Nigerians played with it like COVID-19?
Nigerians don't fear COVID-19 because they are not convinced. That's what happens when the training you gave ur ward is not believable. If you as a parent are lying or having extramarital affairs, why would ur ward believe you?
There's what gives authority to you as a parent-Leading by example

A sinner that is sinning, still does so because he hasn't tasted of the grace that empowers him to say NO to sin.
Some of those sins may be an avoidable addiction

Alohaa:
By the boldes i mean
People have/can/will drift from good training regardless of what the passage says...


Let me say something about your summary
Smokers are likely to die young is written in every cigarette pack, they smokers see it but they don’t care...
So let me apply it to your analogy, someone who eats shit does so cause he wants, not because he doesn’t know what’s right....

A sinner knows he is sinning
But he does it anyways...

oh my God are you serious
So you’ve never heard of peer pressure or influence?
So you’re saying that nobody doing yahoo Now was ever good?
So everyone who steals now was always bad?

Well, let me give you an instance, a lot of our popular musicians started singing in the church. (Ie, it is Considered a good character) Along the line they started doing secular music
Do you have an answer to that?

You said in the past “most Nigerians were honest” , No doubts
Everything i have said so far is centered on the present society, i base what i say on the current situation not the past...
You talked about the yahoo boy thing,
It still brings you back to everything I’ve said earlier, you can train a child all you want, at the end of the day, the child might decide to dumb all your teachings and training...

You said in the past people were honest
Well i have a quick question, why do you think people are no longer that honest?

is it that parents no longer train their children in the right part? They answer is they do, but the society is not what it used to be true or false.

People have drifted from good teachings
We have priests who rape church members
We have ministers who use church members for rituals
Some of these people started out with the right training and teachings
True or false
It’s a no brainer... the answer is true.
You raised many questions but they shouldn't be difficult if you are a Christian.
Let me start this way,
Why is your child not the one influencing his peers?
I believe you know the answer about moral training now and in the past.No need to waste time on that.

Singing in the church means nothing. There are people who sing in the church who will never veer into secular music BECAUSE they know what they are doing.By the way, going to church or working in church doesn't make you a Christian.

Those turning Yahoo boys were not convinced it was bad, they only parroted it until the true test came.If you are convinced that killing humans for rituals is evil, for example, you'll not want to do it even if everyone is doing it.You'd rather opt for an alternative.

Same thing with right teachings. It's about conviction. It's just like saying, I'll now come and say there's no God because of some unfavorable circumstance.Some things are settled from experience not because someone told you.
Training helps you experience things.For example, I am more likely to believe prayers are useless if I HV never seen God intervene when I pray.If all I know is someone forcing me to pray, why won't I abandon prayers when I don't have a relationship with God.
