naijababe:
I am not a fan of stereotypes, so in general I often avoid people who like to use labels. That particular trait has and I believe will continue to serve me well.

I love black men; in fact I love Nigerian men . When I was shipped to Britain at 18, I knew within a few years that nothing but a cocoa brown of the naija variety would cut it for me . Some of my friends were keen on white men because they wanted biracial kids and they supposedly make better husbands. I was having none of that, it had to be a nucca and a naija nucca for that matter, it didn’t matter if he descended from the east, west, south or sahel. All I wanted was a naija man with his usual special brand of swag and ‘toasting!’ Certain lines are particular to Nigerian men, I have not heard non-naija men use those lines

If I am interviewed today and asked what mould of men I consider Nigerian enough to be married to if I wasn't married to my true Naija hubby of course , my first answer would be King Sango of the old Oyo Empire, he may have been arrogated all sorts of mythical powers but any man who could marry women as strong as Oba, Osun and Oya was no weakling and certainly didn't need to demand respect from his wives. From contemporary times, I can only think of the Late Rev. Oludotun Kuti, husband of Mrs Olufunmilayo Kuti and father of Olikoye, Fela and Beko Kuti. Rev Kuti in particular is ultra-special because he made all his marks in education while his wife Mrs Kuti was all about politics, a mean feat for their times. The other man that comes to mind is Dr Ekpo, the husband of Margaret Ekpo; in fact the history of NCNC as a political party would not be complete if the names of these two women’s were omitted, what Mrs Kuti did in the West, Mrs Ekpo did in the East. Two strong Nigerian men married them and did not stop them from achieving dreams; the fear of their wives stealing their thunder apparently did not come into play.

The history of Babangida’s regime as terrible as it was will not be complete without mentioning Maryam’s mark. She is behind the creation of the ‘Office of the first lady’, maybe someone here can convince me that Babangida simply could not control his wife. We can't possibly have forgotten Stella and Turai so soon; strong women even if their strength was to our detriment. I have heard many oral accounts of the rifts between Awo and Akintola being largely fuelled by their wives, might have been hearsay but mama HID and late Mrs Faderera Akintola were no pushovers even if the office first lady was non existent.

The truth is that Nigerian women have always been strong and independent even if there are good and bad kinds. That some women are all about money is not new, many of our musicians sang about it, I remember the apt descriptions of some women as a kid as being 'Olorunsogo' women, but the men who coined the that term also described their opposites as 'Surulere' women.

Has the world changed so much that some of our men only want ‘yes’ women as wives? So much so that strong women can only be described as rude and disrespectful. I can’t think of anywhere else where Nigerian women in particular are bashed as they are here on NL. Some of these men need to start taking responsibility for their behaviour. You are what you attract after all.

What is this one saying?

realbee:
1 thing i have realized on this tread is that most of you fanatics have never related with a muslim fellow before, u have never have a muslim friend or neighbour so you have no clue of what islam is all about! like i said earlier, you do not knw beyond what u were spoon fed. just like your fellow northern muslim fanatics who have no idea what christianity is all about other than the poo their leaders are feeding them.
so the stories of Mohammed & the arabs are in the
scriptures, i dont know, tell me the part so i can go and read it.
did Jesus called himself son of God? in what chapter or verse of the bible did he said it? educate me, when he was asked if he was the only answer he gave was 'YOU said i am' people called him son of God, he never called himself that.
and who told u Mohammed was the one who narrated the death of Jesus? it was in the Quran, a book revealed by God and NOT WRITTEN (i dont expect u 2 believe this so i aint gonna stress it) and also where in the old testament was his crucifixion written? as muslims we beleive in the old testament (taorah).
educate yourself on islam bro, dont ask me why jesus was was killed because as far as we muslims are concerned he was not killed, he ascended to heaven while fully alive, and that is why he will be coming back (thats an arguement 4 anoda day) we dispute the fact that he died and resurrected and if you have any idea about islam you will know this. so before you argue, know what islam is 1st.
this will be my last post on this, i have better things 2 do than lettin u display your level of ignorance.

Btw, why on earth did u bring my comment here? i was commenting on a tread on the whether it is proper 4 christians to eat ileya meat and u quote me on this ISIS killing thread making it look as if i support their atrocities.
Thank your stars nairaland is faceless, i would have make sure i put you in jail 4 this!
I'll try what i can can 2 know who d fuq u are! and pray and fast i dont, because if i do, you'll never attempt 2 blackmail som1 in your entire life again!

i understand your point, but pls, if 4 d last time, check this link out http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/allah_plurality.htm

Tell me what are your reactions are to those astounding commentaries

realbee:
Its funny how much your confusion has blinded you. the arabian pagan neva accused mohammed of preaching a different allah seriously u are delusional. do ur teachers reminded you he fought several wars with this people during his lifetime? that he was chased out of mecca to another town medina for several years? why? find out urself, this time read from a neutral source, not a biased one that will continue to push you to wilderness, they told u Allah means God, but are still manipulating u because it does not means d trinity, read more my dear friend, like i said earlier, from a neutral source.

One of the worst arguements I've read so far. In an attempt to forcibly make ållah the chief god monolithic, he had to EXTERMINATE OTHER gODS AND LIFT FROM THE CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES, CHANGE SOME STORIES, IN ORDER FOR HIS TRACKS NOT TO BE EXPOSED . Did Muhammad give you proof that Jesus didn't call himself Son of God. Now answer these questions:
If Jesus was not killed for making himself son of most High, why was he killed?
Is it possible to lie to the people about Jesus, since they witnessed Christ?
How true is Muhammad's account of Christ's death when actually he was born over 6 centuries after his death?
How could the early church have endured persecution if their account were fake?
How true is the account of one man?
Did Abraham eat his sacrificial meat which was meant for ållah?
What Muhammad did in his time was worse than ISIS
It desire objectivity and validity to neutrality







Don't lie to yourself, ISLAM IS MAN MADE.

Dear Seun,
It is so sad that you allow moderators like maclatunji(or whatever his name is ) to exist on Nairaland. This sentimental moderator, that thinks he is doing the will of his god just banned one of my nairaland accounts.
Its so sad that when websites gain prominence, they begin to treat users with utter disdain. No one has the right to hide any post if the post has OBJECTIVE backing, just the way atheists attack God, because they can back their posts.
With due respect, considering the fact that you employed 'this' moderator, I hereby plead with you, as a law abiding Nairalander, that Misogynist2014, should be unblocked. I sincerely and eagerly wait for your much needed response.
Yours Sincerely,
Emmaomotob.

anitank:
Honestly I was going to say (if I were a man) I prefer a cheating wife to a nagging one due to obvious reasons. The last thing I'd want is constant jabbering in my ears, could drive you insane.

But thinking about it, most women nag because they need attention from their partners, they need to be shown care and love perhaps. And if you take ur time to atleast for once listen to her and start doing what she wants, the nagging most definitely would stop.

But a cheating wife? Some of them never complain about anything, would smile even at your wrongs and be that "perfect" wife. These ones are deadly! When it comes down to it, they could poison you, sit by ur sick bed and watch you die

Correct!!!

Mynd44:
I will rather stay and die single

God bless you! Is marriage by force.

Dahmum: Idont know anyting abt ball

This is why women make me pissed off. Must you comment?

@chibaik God does not set double standards. Abraham and many other men of God like Solomon were polygamous, the bible(new testament) only discourages it since the men of God, saw something more spiritual and bonding in marriages that having a lot of wives.

priscaoge: Am still trying to figure out y my moniker was mentioned

Don't bother your little brain, its the fault of prediction. I must have been rushing while typing those words.

JesusisLord85: To be frank. Most of the people responding have no clue what they are talking about. That is because they go to church shouting abracadabra every week.

The truth is, there are two types of tongues. The tongues in acts 2 were for a sign for the unbeliever. i.e. those who had not yet come to accept the Messiah heard it and marvelled.
This is why Paul said:

1 Corinthians 14:22 "Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe."

The other type of tongues, heavenly tongues, will not be understood by many.

BUT...This is where the church has it wrong. Go into their service on Friday night and you will hear just about everybody shouting stuff..
Let's see what Paul said:

1 Corinthians 14
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

So how is it all these people shout aloud in 'unknown languages', and yet nobody interprets.
It is also remarkable that when you sit and listen to a person speak in tongues this week, and then next week, and even the week after, they say exactly the same words, in the same rhythm. They have only managed to memorise their madness.

Buy you. Why do you marvel at this.
They worship, they know not what. You are a son of Jacob. Put away the foolishness of atheism..That in itself is a faith.

Turn to the Most High, and walk in his laws and statutes.

Shalom

Many might wonder what I mean by theory of the mind. It means that when you come out to the pulpit, your mind is deeply focused on having the spirit. Therefore, when people standing beside you begin to fall and shout like a witch(some do this intentionally), your mind begins to move to the state of satiety(spelling not sure), you begin to think yourself doing what others are doing. Immediately the pastor lays his hands on you,(you feel that the pastor himself is trying to fall you down, with the way he pushes your head ) you feel in you, (since you are in a state of subconscious) as if an Angel put his hands on you and started pouring *the spirit*, you begin to shake[like a snake] and speak babble(the same way you have always dreamt of). Some people don't fall for the pastor's experiment and refuse to fall down and shake like someone having fever. You are then happy and filled with joy, but you are as empty as space. As for Hocus Pocus, where the pastor will throw *the spirit* like basketball, and you begin to fall like slain warriors(forgetting that Holy Spirit only comes to those that have faith and kept God's commandments for considerable period, in order to guide you. ) It involves use of pure magic.
My neighbours are so pathetic that they speak *it* everyday, but are filled with hate and envy. Salvation is by faith alone. I know it would be a hard decision, but follow not prophets but the word of God(JESUS TOLD US TO STUDY THE SCRIPTURES), wonderfully preserved in KJV. This website will help you in knowing God. http://jesus-is-savior.com/

moscobabs: na now they suppose remember ham

Though I also dislike Jonathan, but this, he has done well.

Brush1: Did you say naturally predefined roles?? a huge no. These were roles constructed and made operational by the society and that in any sense doesn't come across as natural. Thanks.

Is it the society that says men should work in quarry? Is it the society that says men should mostly defend the country and still provide food and protection for their RIB BONE and children during war? Is it the society that says women should be emotional, which naturally enables them to care for their offspring and husband? Is it the society that says men should use their superior strength and intellect to fend for his family? Is it the society that eqiped men with high level of testosterone in order to face the daily aggression of life?Is it society that says women should play shit in football and have considerable poorer outcome in things they and their males compete in? Is it society that says men should have soft spot for women? Come off it! Its all the beautiful works of nature. No wonder the west is loosing their morals, since there are working against the immovable rocks of nature, which guarantees joy to male and his female. Nature, like God, don't force you, it is when you move against them that you know the consequences. Pride(positive) is to man, submissiveness is to woman.
If it were not so in animals, you might have been right.

Gombs: Why did you skip verse 2 of the reliable KJV?

 2  For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

1. Define unknown tongue?
2. If you’re saying it's another language, For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. (V14), how come folks don't know what I'm speaking but they seem know it should the language's name?
3.how many languages then do you speak?
4.why do you want to make a simpleton of yourself?

I will make my arguement very easy by destroying the GENESIS of the penticostals
1)Paul stated in 1st Corinthians 3:1-3, "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.For ye are yet carnal..." Church of Corinthians was a CARNAL church.
2) It is possible to speak in language(tongue) of humans, read KJV 1st Corinthians 13vs 1 .
3) The disciples were already saved before Holy Spirit fell upon them.(They talked and chatted with the son of God after he had risen from death)
4) No account in Bible said Jesus spoke in tongues
5) Jesus purified the adulteous woman, she did not fall down or speak in tongues.
6) Jeus said 'go your FAITH has made you well.' You only need faith to be divinely healed and also to be forgiven
7) You are compelled to explain(interpret) everything you've said in tongues.
On the penticost, it was something special that happend, so that Peter could be able to break language barrier(every man heard them speak in his own language)
9) Tongues is meant only for evangelism
10) You can't send Holy Spirit into someone(Holy Spirit unlike Jesus, came to this world in Spirit form(The trustworthy KJV used HE for him) John 16 vs 13-14). He comes at his own time, when he sees that you obey God's Commandments and most importantly, you have faith in Jesus. Obedience is better than sacrifice. No wonder Penticostal pastors indulge in sin, since they follow wrong path.
Old testament, God manifested in Father, in the New testament, he manifested in Son and now he is manifesting in the Holy Spirit(who is here in the Name of Jesus Christ John 16 vs 14). If you have any question left, I'm always at your service. We all must not miss heaven because of fake doctrines.

Gombs: You want me too pull out links for you too? You seems to be new here, no wonder! A quick heads up, religion section is far far different from politics, family or any other section. Your putting up a link does not help your stand, open the word let us dissect it, i opened for you, your reaction gave me a cue of your general bibile knowledge.Thank me later

Put this in perspective. If Paul spoke plenty different languages like you claim, explain this then!

1 Corinthians 14:2 BBE
For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things

To help your baby nature in Christ, they all heard in their language because the Holy Spirit was there to interprete individually. If you think other wise, how on earth was Peter able to address them all in their languages, remember, he had no microphone nor interpreter

Stop selectively quoting the Bible 1st Corinthians 14 vs 4 in trustworthy KJV says: He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
Vs 6 says: Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall INTERPRET, that the church may recieve edifying.
Vs 9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be UNDERSTOOD, how shall it be KNOWN WHAT IS SPOKEN? FOR YE SHALL SPEAK INTO THE AIR.
Meaning that you don't speak in tongues anyhow, its for prophecy and not the confirmation that you are a born again, when the pastor calls you out for repentance of sin. My mom, shaked like a snake after the pastor laid his hands on her and sinned same day. Salvation is by faith alone. "1)Therefore being justified by FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ :
2) By whom also we have access by FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice on HOPE OF THE GLORY OF GOD." Romans 5 vs 1-2
Have faith and Keep the Commandments of God and you are saved. Simple! Not disgracing yourself in front of church to meet a man that you are not sure is holy, who uses Hocus Pocus and Theory of Mind to decieve you.(Some are obsessed with pastors that they say e.g. God of Adeboye.) It is when you walk in the way of God that Holy Spirit enters you. “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
—Matthew 7:15
Baptist Church is the only one that comes closest to following Christ teachings. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Miscellaneous/ifb.htm

SalC: So you mean God himself ordered only the use of King james bible? what authority do you have to declare other translations useless and satanic? I tire for una

Yes, only King James, written in 1611 is trustworthy http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Bible/KJB/inspired.htm

SalC: Whether it is "speak in tongues" or "speak with tongues", it refers to speaking another language not blabbing like some people do today.

When you compare both sentences, you'll realise they aren't the same

Gombs: How many languages did you then think Paul spoke in? Who taught him them? If it was God, how many do you speak?

Read the link I gave you and stop asking silly questions.

NeuroBoss: Babygal4eva: I speak all of these languages fluently but Igbo which I speak sparingly and seriously learning.

Comment as-tu pu apprendre le français? Tu as séjournée à l'étrangère?

¿Y español tambien? ¿Donde lo apprendiste?

Stop using translator. . -------- All women are fascists. All they want is for you to tell them what they want to hear, don't argue with them and don't make them cry.

Babygal4eva: It just shows the kind of women that are around u, is ur Mother a lesser being? I don't mean that in a rude way I'm just saying my mum is the strongest woman I know and I know I'm not a lesser being.

I can read, write, drive and speak 3 languages to pick a few so I know I'm not a lesser being to anybody, the fact that guys are stronger doesn't mean a bleeping thing it doesn't making them superior and it sure as hell doesn't give them the right to beat me cause I know myself.

So pls don't say that women are lesser beings its insulting archaic and really annoyinh

Cry me river!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Gombs: Na you sabi!

[NLT] 1 Corinthians 14:18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than any of you.

Stop perverting the gospel, it is 'I thank God, I speak WITH tongues more than ye all:' King James Version. Go and born that useless satanic book you call Bible.

Andy790: U on point...
Bt get ready to b fired by pentecostal peeps

R u a catholic

You can decipher from 1st paragraph that I'm not.

Penticosts are in no way better than the Catholics that worship Mary(whom they critique every second)
The Pentecostals are a sorry bunch I'll tell you. Why don't they ever imitate the mighty rushing wind in Acts chapter 2, or the cloven tongues of fire? Why do they only imitate speaking in tongues? And by the way, and this might surprise you--no one spoke in tongues in Acts 2 at Pentecost! That's right, NO ONE SPOKE IN TONGUES! If you read the Word of God carefully, it says "every manheardthem speak in his own language." Peter was preaching to a crowd of thousands. At least 16 different nations were present (Acts 2:9-11). Each man heard the Gospel in his native tongue (language). Read more here...... http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Pentecostal/madness.htm

Emmalot121: Don't you have a whip at home? .You better marry before you become old and rickety.

He is being considerate, he doesn't want a crying baby as wife.

Pastors continue to storm the country,yet with little or no qualifications.This quack would have one time claimed to speak with God or speak in tongues.
WHAT A MAN OF GOD HE IS!!!
