First world problems. Outdated article.
The more CGI in a movie, the more enjoyable for me. The only drawback CGI has on a movie for me is the countless takes actors make to compensate interaction with imaginary on-screen objects.
Most big budget movies employing the process painstakingly cross-check details to avoid huge losses at the box-office. The avengers movies're a cgi-fest yet smash box office records. Jurassic park, harry potter, transformers and Lord of the rings to say the least.

Even the second highest selling tv production game of thrones employs heavy use of cgi. HD viewing makes it even better as filming techniques have adjusted to make better use of it.

your trying too hard to sound intelligent.
what's your business with actors countless take. we talking crapy scripts this days with over bloated act ions take, made possible by out of control use of CGI.

notice anything with this movies?

terminator (gyniysis), Thor( dark world), Avengers (age of ultrons)

all big budget release, buy fair considerable low at box office because movie lovers easily could see pass the green back ground( you can take that literarily).
all I saw was effects, more effects, and when I was bored with effects, they gave more CGI effects.
whatever happen to a good story?

follow through here again.

CGI is paralyzing the film industry. It’s taking over
production time, budgets, story, and even replacing
real characters. It’s making films worse. If we
allocated the amount of resources we spend on CGI
toward hiring better writers, creating cooler set
designs, and minimizing post production, we’d have
better cinema. Because of the damage done by CGI,
Hollywood can only finance CGI-fest films with
bloated budgets. The people demand CGI and the
only way to keep the demand up is to increase the
dose of CGI.

How much CGI is too much CGI? Let’s take a look at
ten issues I have with modern CGI.
It seems like “good” CGI, or at least audiences
perceptions of good CGI, is in decline over the past
few years. Sure, you have amazing anomalies like
Gravity or Interstellar , but on a whole, CGI quality is
trending downward. Is CGI getting worse? Or are
audiences harder to please? Let’s take a closer look
at the state of VFX industry in the following post.
1. CGI has transitioned from a complimentary
dish to the main course.
CGI had major limitations when first introduced.
Because of this, is was used as a last resort. Even
Steven Spielberg had this mindset until he introduced
Shia Leboeuf going full-on Tarzan with CGI monkeys
in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull. The CG Supervisor for that movie had this to
say : “Viewers will hardly notice the 45 minutes of
CGI in the film.” Really?
Jurassic Park is a great example of complimentary
CGI. They couldn’t design the animatronics to walk
around for the wide shots, so they used CGI to solve
this problem. What you got were wide CGI shots
offset with closeup live action animatronics. The CGI
reinforced the idea that the dinos weren’t just static
robots, and the robots reinforced the idea that they
were really in the scene with the actors.
2. The physics are off.
After the success of movies like Terminator 2 and
Jurassic Park, it became apparent that CGI was the
best way to create realistic effects. One of the main
reasons CGI outshined techniques like stop-motion
was movement. It got the physics right.
Now, over 20 years later, Hollywood has lost the
concept of realistic movement with CGI. Scenes from
movies like Matrix Reloaded or Catwoman showcase
stunts that are impossible to perform with an actual
human . Movies have abandoned the concept of
physics and with it goes the audience’s perceptions
of reality.
Cracked.com took a look at some of the pitfalls of
modern CGI. What made the top of their list? A
complete disregard for gravity, friction and intertia:
There might be a time when CGI finally traverses
the uncanny valley and becomes indistinguishable
from the real world. Only none of that will matter as
long as filmmakers continue to apply physics with
a spongy fist…sometimes having that “sky’s the
limit” freedom means knowing when to keep it
grounded.
Hollywood is trying to rewrite the laws of motion….
Isaac Newton must be rolling over in his grave. “An
object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion
stays in motion with the same speed and in the same
direction…unless the script says otherwise.”
3. CGI has put us in a state of denial.
CGI’s purpose should be to make a stunt or effect
look more real. Whenever we see good CGI, we
shouldn’t realize it’s good CGI. We shouldn’t even
notice it at all. It should be so real and grounded
that it pulls us into the story instead of distracting
us. We’re in a state of denial where we keep telling
ourselves ‘But it’s really good CGI! Look at how good
that CGI is! Wow, I can’t imagine how many hours
were spent rendering that! Every frame is so dense.’
If we have to discuss CGI, then the CGI didn’t do its
job. CGI is getting worse because it’s trying to
impress us rather than fool us.l
4. The move to HD and 4K make CGI less
convincing.
CGI is far from perfect. But when the delivery format
was celluloid and SD, it masked the imperfections of
CGI and made everything look more realistic.
Filmmakers furthered the illusion by purposely
compositing CGI into poorly lit scenes and behind
elements like smoke and rain. Now with the stunning
clarity of 2K and 4K (and even more so with HFR),
we’re starting to see the cracks in the pavement. As
resolution increases, CGI is becoming less
convincing.
5. Stylized grades and CGI don’t mix.
The over-saturated color scheme blooming with
every conceivable tone of orange and teal is ruining
CGI. CGI needs all the help it can get when
composited into a scene. When you splash a hyper-
realistic grade over the top, it makes everything look
fake including the CGI. This is why Dawn of the
Planet of the Apes and Jurassic Park look incredibly
real. They incorporated CGI into scenes that had
realistic lighting and color.
The Cracked post also commented on the perils of
the “Blockbuster” grade :
Movies like Transformers and The Hunger Games
are so aggressively teal and orange that they look
like big-budget adaptations of a Spencer Gifts
blacklight poster. As we’ve explained before , the
reason for this is that those two colors are on
opposite sides of the color wheel, and as such are
immediately pleasing to human eyes. Since human
skin best resembles orange more than anything
else on that wheel, color graders had an easy
starting point to completely ruin every film they
work on.
Case in point? The new Jurassic World looks like a
super hero movie. I half expected Tony Stark to be
training raptors with Chris Pratt . The oversaturated
grade makes it look more like a fantasy where
dinosaurs only exist on a computer screen.
6. There’s no restraint.
Christopher Nolan shows incredible restraint with
CGI. If it’s too expensive or just not feasible to
capture in camera, he’ll rely on CGI to recreate the
effect realistically. Hollywood doesn’t know how to
show restraint with CGI. Their mentality is ‘Because
we can, we will’. They want it faster, bigger, brighter,
more colorful, and 10X as epic as the last time.
However sophisticated your computer-generated
imagery is, if it’s been created from no physical
elements and you haven’t shot anything, it’s going
to feel like animation. -Christopher Nolan
7. CGI-driven action is sequel-oriented.
The CGI in every sequel has a major goal: it has to
be more impressive, complex, and crazier than its
predecessor. The stakes have to be higher.
Filmmakers try to create engagement with more
explosions rather than letting story, plot, and
character development produce interest.
Another huge issue is that in a world of endless
sequels, we no longer have to worry about our main
character’s well-being. We don’t need to be invested
in the characters because there’s no chance they’ll
die. They aren’t in any real peril. The actors have
already signed up for two sequels! James Cameron
is working on three Avatar sequels simultaneously!
What’s happening now is that filmmakers are making
scenes more and more extravagant to offset this
sequel fatigue. They keep pushing the limits to keep
us saying ‘well surely they can’t survive this’ until it
gets utterly ridiculous.
8. CGI is dangerous.
CGI is paralyzing the film industry. It’s taking over
production time, budgets, story, and even replacing
real characters. It’s making films worse. If we
allocated the amount of resources we spend on CGI
toward hiring better writers, creating cooler set
designs, and minimizing post production, we’d have
better cinema. Because of the damage done by CGI,
Hollywood can only finance CGI-fest films with
bloated budgets. The people demand CGI and the
only way to keep the demand up is to increase the
dose of CGI.
9. CGI encourages lazy filmmaking.
CGI has put filmmakers in the ‘we’ll fix it in post’
mindset. It has made them incredibly lazy. There’s
no dedication to the craft when you can endlessly fix
imperfections on a computer screen. Why go the
extra mile to capture a stunt in-camera when you
can hand it over to ILM to recreate? Take Jurassic
World for instance. They recently released a raptor
training scene. There are so many opportunities to
use animatronics in this scene, but they didn’t. Even
the closeup shots were CGI. Where’s the passion?
Where’s the commitment to realism? It’s a shame,
and it’s so lazy.
10. CGI has made us complacent.
CGI is like a drug. The more we keep exposing
ourselves to it, the less effect it has on us. We’re
chasing the dragon, so to speak. A collapsing
practical indoor set isn’t cool anymore. You know
what’s cool? An entire buildingl collapsing! A chance
encounter with Darth Vader on Cloud City? Lame. We
need a 12 minute duel filled with over the top action
on a volcanic planet costing 70,000 man hours to
create.
What this has lead to is a complacency with
traditional movie drama. It leaves us less impressed
with real life situations and settings. It makes us
yawn at authentic dramatic tension because it
doesn’t contain a sweeping CGI destruction show.

The 21st century, is pretty much defined by beauty.everywhere we look, from billboards, TV commercials, music video, a business cooperation's. etc all have one thing in common selling there product with beauty.

One tender smile from a pretty lady, and it would seem the world is at peace again_holding hands, singing kumbaya.

This explain why every woman wants to look beatifull. The lure of beauty is greatly overwhelming for any man. It is a lot more easier to prosecute an ugly lady in any insatnce , than a pretty one. Little wonder pretty women seem to get away with almost anything. And I mean anything!

Men are often cut up in that ultimate fame fatal.
Although Dating/marrying a pretty lady often gives one pride and prestige especially amongst peers.however, A pretty lady to a man is like the ultimate trophy and like any trophy, a man always has to keep it polished and shinny so he can admire it all over again.

Here are some of the disadvantages of being in a relationship with a pretty women.

1#. They are mostly self absorbed.

From experience, most pretty girls are far too about themselves. They are hardly ever interest ed in anything that partains to you or anyone else. Any coversation, that doesn't begin and ends with them, is no conversation. And any plan that don't include them is no plan.

#2. Often too lazy to work or plan.

Most pretty girls are way too shiny to work or plan. Many from young age had been consumed by thought of traping a rich dude with their beauty_ Who in any case is going to take care if them for the rest of their lifes. aspect of being forward thinking is completely lacking in some. Most are comletely dependent, with beauty as their only bargain chip.


3#. Most are often selfish.

Chance are before you met are, she has been with men who had showered her with tons of gift. Yes tons! You are just among the many men she is expecting to continue in that line pouring gifts at her feet. Many pretty ladies see this as their rights and demands for it.

#4. Most pretty ladies sometime s don't get the meaning of sacrifice.

Many pretty girls put their beauty above all things. This makes them often too outward to dig deep and perform any act of meaniful sacrifice. Forgoing with their outside, is a big ask for them. Hence they can not go deep enough to sacrifice for the sustainace of a relationship. Try telling a pretty girl yout running low finance and wait.

#5. Most a bad at sex.

Don't get it twisted here, many pretty girls are often bad in bed I have withness to this.Mere sighting of a pretty woman often conjure fatancy of /memorable nites. However when all said and done a person can be left to wonder "what just happen". And I don't mean that in a good way.


NB/
Am not say all pretty ladies are like this, however I have noticed from observation that most are.

Don't take it personal.
Have a nice day all!

Olasco93:
Nice topic OP, but sincerely speaking, i think Rape actually is not Fueled/Triggered by the way a girl dress.
Rape is from the Mind. It's a Mindset thing

The thought first sets-in the mind and settled there because you welcomed it. If you can control your mind you can filter away the thoughts of committing rape.

"Out of the abundance of the heart the JohnThomas of a rapist goes hunting....

I completely understand u my friend.
But let's not be naïve.

I remember when I was in school, I never thought in my wildest imagination, I would be a mercinery for someone. But when alarm/ school fees came calling..
Well let's just leave it there!


My point is; one can never say what they ar or are not capable of until true test comes.

Rainess:
Two of your points had to do with how women dress. Disgusting. I hate boys like you

Lol!
N I love women/girls like u.
You must understand what sexual provocative dressing is my lady.

I often pride myself as upright/reasonable guy, but even I must admitted that I get lust in this outfit most times, not to speak of one whose self control mechanism is faulty.

Please this things are for your own good.
Ur still our queen and we love you.

iceberylin:
Some of these girls get themselves into it.
I was walking around the Rumuola road,saw this girl wearing a long skirt but the opening in the front was longer than the skirt

An Army man had to slap sense into her after tearing the skirt more...

That man just make me carry Hard-on go house

Lol! I hope this story isn't true bro.

However let's not blame the women alone here. This is a shared blame between the sexes as well as society at large. I thought I tried to summarize it so.

Let's talk and make meaningful contributions and not play blame games.

Estharfabian:
No offense! Buh your post sucks....Really bad! it's nauseating!


Everything except No3 is total hogwash!!

so, Coz Of one psychotic potential Rapist I shouldn't wear my Mini-skirts and bumshorts again? Utter crap!

....A Räpist would still Râpe U even if You Wear an Hijab And The longest skirt in the world....These people are Lunatics that need to be hunted, killed, hanged, shot and killed again !

Yet you accept no.3 ..let me guess, becus it relates to men.

Estharfabian:
My points exactly! if Nigerians stopped blaming girls for the deeds of Râpists... I think we'd for once accomplish something substantial other than vainglory n corruption...
I keep on saying this...even if she walked around nâked, u got no fücking right to rápe her! nothing justifies that..

Really sad story BTW....[/font]

Let's be carefully hear. You don't tempt Satan to tempt you. What do you mean by even if she dresses naked.

An hungry man might be hungry, but can manage. But what happen when you test him with food.

No one is making a case for rape hear. However women should understand that indecent dressing can provoke a form of response.

misspicy:
When caught rapist should be tortured and killed to deter others

Prevention first I think.
We can't always kill people to prove to others that killing is bad..so prevention first.

I feel its high time individual, families, and government start giving this issue of rape a more serious concern.

I have notice that there is hardly any day that goes by here on nairaland without an incident of rape being report.I don't have an actual figure, but am guessing its much. Apart from nairaland, there are police reported incidence, as well as unreported cases.

In a system where the institutions is/has failed. We the individuals should endeavour to take up responsibility as watchdogs of our own societies.

This is why we should encourage ourselves to constantly discuss this issue openly and share collective ideals on how to reduce the rate of this menace.

My own suggestion are as follow.

#1. teaching parents to teach their young children what decent dressing is from a young age.

# 2. video censored board should be awake to his responsibilities. Too much sexual unregulated videos in circulation.

#3. Men should be mindfull of their achohol intake_ especially when around women. Achohol easily can suppress one sense of caution and good judgement.

#4. Women should be mindful of of their dressing. Please don't tempt anyone to tempt you.


Feel free to contribute. Happy Sunday.

Broda this things are hard to judge as humans. Many funnicate out of acute weakness. Not outrightly because they don't truly love God. David was man after Gods heart, but sometimes he prayed to be delivered from presumptuous sin ( intentionally sinning).

One cannot judge true hypocritism as such. Even most prostitutes I dealt with in the past, pray when thay wake up in the marning. For me only God can reach down to the heart. I do not judge I just let them be. One day their own prayer will free them if God will it so.

But on a christian note, if I were you I would worry about myself more. For being the bringer of sin. Note, the Bible had speak curse unto the world for its sin, but greater curse is reserve for the man from whom sin cometh. So endeavour to pray for forgiveness. And if God truely has bless you, endeavour to use it to serve him..and not lure others to sin.

God bless you as u abide!

Bros this things are hard to judge as humans. Many funnicate out of acute weakness. Not outrightly because they don't truly love gold. David was man after Gods heart, but sometimes he prayed to be delivered from presumptuous sin ( intentionally sinning).

One cannot judge true hypocritism as such. Even most prostitutes I death with in the past, pray when that wake up in the marning. For me only God can reach down to the heart.

The story of the adulterous woman is a case in point.

Wheater you like it or not tb Joshua is already the greatest of them alive. You see something people, when you are gud, you appeal to gud section of the crowd_like wise when you are bad..you appeal to bad section. However, when you are controversial, you appeal to both section .You see hate him or love him. The point is you know him. That's the thing with popularity.

You need to see his hits on you tube everytime he upload anyone of those controversial videos. Like the one of today about the Paris assault. The ones that will believe will believe and the one that will doubt will doubt.

Christ himself wasn't popular during his time. He was controversial. Many believe too he wasn't from God. And that his miracles were aided by a certain spirit. Bezebuub.

I looked at his recent crusade in Mexico, behold was CeCe win as and alvin slaughter. My though was ..so this people also view and work with with Joshua.?

Trust me, this man fame is beyond what you Nigerian can do anything about. He is gone!

Moreover many aided and drew more sympathy to him by bombing that building. They made him even more popular.if you dont believe, Look more shocking vidoe of the misery of synagogue building collaspe. Its there on youtub for those who truely seek TRUTH. because the outside world already knows the truth before we did. As tb Joshua would say, its the trial and persecution we face that make us know to the world.

Nigerians open your eyes, the man before you has grown up as a tender plant, and as sure as a root out of the dry ground. But because he had no form of comliness. (Education, eloquence of speech and charisma).you found no reason to desire him.

quibaby:

This is what Christians this days have clearly decided to stop seeing am happy there are Christians like me out there read your bible and leave what pastors says

T.b Joshua is not fake. No nooo. Many of u who scream fake do not know what it means. Take your time go over the video again..Or the writeup. I mean think this time.

Of all the hundred and so nations in the world, why france?#1. Again of all the cities in france, why paris?2#

Of all the the random events, why terrorist attack?#3

If everything he prophesied tallies why deny him of his pass mark.

This are not of tb,. Joshua mind you, they are of God. If u are really a christian, you would know the times we are in.

Mind you the bible term this times perilous times. With all the killings death destruction you are witnessing, you are still looking for a prophet of gloom/good tyding.

Go home and pray for your sins and the many sins of the nations. For this are purnishiment for atrocities

Ask him to show the nations mercy!

Sunglass20:
If you watch Emmanuel Tv, of course you will have heard it last year. Now when such prophecies are given, He still calls or write the Nation involved and warn them. If they are concerned, should they not have kept in touch with the Prophet to make sure things were monitored spiritually? Prophet always tells us that most times, prophecies like this are always given when he has prayed and God says He needs the efforts of the people to to agree in faith with him. Now, about seeing the collapse of the SCOAN building, Of course he saw it, but Jesus who saw His own dead too couldnt do anything about it because it was the will of the Father. Prophecies at times come to pass immediately, most times, in the future. So a prophet shouldnt prophecy bad things? If you can't foresee danger for your people and warn them before hand to take precautions, please such a prophet should not prophet me. Its just like men of God who always prophecy breakthroughs and prosperity. Let's tell ourselves the truth mehn... Even brother Jesus lived a tough and rough life. What I learn from these confirmatIons of prophecies is that Prophet TB Joshua's prophecies especially the bad ones shouldn't be treated lightly. Since we already know they are always coming to pass, we must then act. Its just like someone giving you a prophecy that please if u travel next week, the road is not safe, you are likely to die, please we need to fast and pray. You this person looks at this prophet and his warning as a waste of time, you expect this prophet to begin to run after you begging you to fast and pray? Hell no. If you still travel and something bad happens and the prophet comes out to say I warned you, he becomes a prophet of doom right? God didn't seek our permission to create us, but He needs our agreement to save us! And before I forget, I am a product of His good prophecies. EMMANUEL!

Thanks for your smart and wise ccontribution. Emmanuel!

Pls am calling on christian this period to be more prayerfull. We need christian who have vision of the times to co ordinate prayers for our nations.

Christians this is also our fight. Know that all this are said off in the scriptures. Wars and rumours of war, Unnatural behaviors. Rape, violence, adultery/ furnication...all at levels never witness or heard before.

This is not the time to pray lord bless and preserve me and my family. No one is safe! No one!. But everyone is Preciouse in Gods site.

Finally remember our brave soldiers who are steadfastly fighting to protect us from dangers.

They are not deing so we can drink, party or indulge our self in all things indecent. We must be aware Of the times. Be sobber and vigilant.

Pray for ur nation!

Why kill and eat the poor animal for no logical reason. We are no longer in the 18th century. If you're hungry or feel like eating meat, you can buy beef, chicken or pork in markets all around you. Thats a beautiful animal you just wasted.

Like the queen of England would say, if there is no bread why not mk do with cakes.It
It seem more so to me, that many of you are naive or outrightly oblivion to the Nigerian realities. Do you think is every familied that can effort "meat" . you keep listing alternatives as if people don't already know their options.

Bros that meat is some reasonable kilos. If you want to pay for it say in market, it will cost a lot for an average Nigerian. So let them celebrate their catch. Forest no de run out of animal. Plus it is bush animal, not all this town breed that has been injected with God know what for growth.

BTW, the above animals you mention that are being killed and eaten are they not animals also? Why are you not advocating for them?

Most people lost faith in him when he couldn't predict what was to happen in his own church. Whats the use predicting what would happen in Russia why you can't predict what would happen in your house?

None lost faith in him...no one!

Any intelligent person would know that "stealing is not corruption" is a statement that needs clarification.

Here is what the president then said.


President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday clarified what he meant by stealing is not corruption, saying he was quoted out of context.

Responding to questions during a presidential media chat on Wednesday, the President explained that the remark flowed from a discussion he had with a former chief justice of the federation, who told him of how he had to distinguish straight acts of stealing from other forms of corruption he acted upon.

“People who told you I said stealing is not corruption did not tell you I said stealing is good. That is why philosophers say that the primary reason people disagree is because people use one statement to explain two typical things or vice versa.

“I made that statement because I quoted the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mustapha, (when) I called a meeting then, with the anti-crime organisations and the judiciary.

“The CJN, Mustapha decided to take a look at the files that dealt with corruption and more than 80 per cent of them were just cases of stealing. But people use corruption to cover all. What I am saying is that let us go to the South-West and go to a typical community and they look at you and say this man is corrupt, people will be looking at you. But call that same man “ole”, that is thief, and see what will happen to him. Our people hate thieves more than corrupt people, yet most times, we use corruption to cover the lapses.

“A thief should be called a thief and treated as such. In my village, when an adult steals, they strip him unclad, humiliate him and his family, but if you say this man is corrupt, they won’t know what you are talking about. We are using corruption to cover it all up.

“So, let us communicate properly. It was not me that said it, I quoted Mustapha. He examined the corruption cases and he saw that they were just cases of stealing.

“We are identifying thieves; we can talk about what the agencies are doing. We have made more convictions in this period than before. But I always say that the answer is not convicting more people. We must make sure that they don’t steal. Do not put the money where they can steal it. That is what we are doing.”

I thanks God for this age of social media reporting. If you say this things do exist, some educated/enlightenment mind will come n start rubbishing you with empiricism.

Oya over to you. Know know people, what say you.

What is with Nigerians and half stories? what is the full story here, even tho it's quite disturbing and evil, what really led to this, no right thinking humna would want to hurt a baby like this, it's high time we acted like we are intelligent in Nigeria, people post half stories and everyone joins the train of abuses and all that, i really wish psychologist played a major role in our every day life, like working with tghe police, schools, hospitals and more, that way we can have reasonable stories explaining the 'why'. it is Evil and wrong tho what the help did, i'm just wondering why and what could have led to this

Exactly what I was saying. This story is far from complete. Can't just wake up and chop off a babies harm off. But trust Nigerians and judging someone even before hearing their side.

First my sincere and heart felt sympathy to that poor child and the family. May God grant you grace to pull through this.



Every time time we see this kind of act it should provoke critical thinking within us. What does this actually tells you? To some, she a witch,,to others, the devil made flesh. To me I see someone completely fed up.

This is not an "action" in my view, its more a "reaction"
Note: REACTlON


What many do know is that from research. Maidservants, are the most abused people in the world. They are in many instance the victims not the aggressor. But no one ever speak in their defence.

If u are privilege to sit with one, they will tell stories you won't even believe.

Some get insulted daily by madam. They are like trashcans in which madam empties her frustration. Some gets sexually abused by their male boss_To wish they have to keep it to themselves. I have even heard of some who are flogged whenever they make mistake.

Some are slaped and kick around by children of this people. A girl told me how she was naked and made handsup for hows for money she did not steal. Grinded pepper was inserted in her private part. Even when they found out she didnt steal the money, that it was actually one if her madams son. Nobody came to apologise to her. Thats the level if worthlessness we talking about here.

Many of them who are fed up, will make a strong statement most times.

Am not making a case for this girl, far from it. Am simply trying to underline motive for her actions. This for me is what gives action meaning. So that when you judge please take all side into consideration.

I feel u sister. Everyone suffers from the grass is greener on the other side syndrome. Always compare note with others. What I have learnt in this world, is that people lie a lot. Many for the purpose of keeping appearance will tell u how cute their job is_ making u feel you have the most shiitty job in the world..(permitted my term)..but in truth yours might actually be better.

Thank God you saw the lesson. Its the most important part of all this. And like you said, this may be Gods way of teaching you contentment.

Cheer up! And see the positives in all of this.

I beleive OBJ will win election against the clueless corrupt former president any time any day with his popularity. Imagine OBJ being loved and cherished by everyone!. Hmmmm food for thought!!!

He's not cherish by the majority there trust me.
Many of them there must have said gibberish about him in there secret. But true to the Nigerian spirit would cheer in the open. Plus those snaps could be for the purpose of "look I saw obj today".

there is no way obasanjo could ever be more popular than gej .A man that seek third term versus one that conceded defeat. Wait until they start writing books about gej and the coming generation starts reading about it. He's is already an African icon my friend

Hippocrates and self righteousness!
Who has mad u a judge to damnation of any soul
Even Christ freed the woman who was about to be stoned.
Do you think you love that child more than the mother?
Don't assume the position of a judge mortal man.
Instead pray for God to have mercy on her.

Tell her_go and sin no more.

All flesh are Gods.

Contentment is the opposite of abundance. You don't want to teach people to vibrate at low requency. Lack of lots of money doesn't make people poor. Good health, exciting lifestyle are part of the riches a God can experience.

Christianity stole good morals to beef up the evil religion. People are naturally moral and helpful to others.

Am not here to draw arguments from anyone. Just to remind Christians who they are_and to live life in true spirit of Christ which is contentment!

Thanks!

Contentment cuts out many sins of christians. When we are not contented, we cannot tell between Gods blessing and satans bait. Everything will seem like God's blessing. Christ teachings centers more on contentment and less on excess.

Let's not condemn the poor among us any longer. Poverty is not an affliction. It is a means to temptation.
One can be poor and still be a friend of God. In all we do in this Christianity, it comes down to the relationship we maintain. Remember christ first teaching, he proclaimed "the spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor". That is what gospel means good news for all mankind irrespective of status.

He is the God of all flesh!

We must remember that true Christianity is off the spirit. Everyday we strife to be like christ. There men amongst us who are teachers of the word, but they are struggling to contain the flesh. These men will adjust the gospel to suit their fleshly desires. "My God is not a poor God they will say"
But God is the God of all flesh weather rich or poor. God of the living..weather rich or poor. Let no man create these disparity in your heart. God look at us as the same from his throne of mercy. It's only man that perceive himself as higher than another. Not God!

Let's help those who we can, pray for those who can't pray for themselves. Judge no man, be mercifull to others so we too can obtain his mercy. And may the peace of the lord abide with you now and for ever amen!
