jamace you're right again


next? er...erm er...jamace abi na previous

Sometimes it fluctuates but currently it's the philosophy religion section.

...hmm so it appears the language is just as diverse as the people.

Fulaman198, can you speak more than one dialect? And would you say that the Wodaabe’s are matriarchal?

Oh and please tell me how you say brother/sister in Fulfulde.
Mi yetti sanne sanne.

I have to admit the writer does seem to have an agenda with this piece – perhaps he just wants to be popular. Christians make terrible husbands? What a blanket statement. If a man is a terrible husband it might just be because he’s a terrible man. Being a “Christian” doesn’t automatically make one a control freak the same way it doesn’t automatically make one righteous. Sometimes I think it’s too easy blaming religion for another person’s character flaw. However I don’t see the contradiction in Paul’s divine teachings when in the very first book of the bible as a punishment to the woman called Eve god made her subordinate to the man called Adam. Now if this is supposedly the same “God” in the New Testament that Paul was serving then where does his extreme bias differ to that of God’s?

buzugee: that scripture only means that if tough decisions are to be made, the man ( because men use their head instead of their emotions ) has the final say.

The head between their legs abi?

Interesting. I have often heard the language is rather varied. If a publisher was to translate a script - take for instance the Qu’ran - into the Fulfude language, which dialect is most likely to be employed?

Is there a standard Fulani dialect?

correct but only cuz I no wan u to fail ur guess


jamace, jamace and er.....jamace!

Na wa see as this girl jus expose me finish

Oh hooo...so you be the one wey come beg me for food that day?...no wonder...but I come offer u shicken na...no pretend u no chop urself...”finger lickin” abi u remember?

mruknaijaboy: @emofine2 my fellow jandite thanks oo i salute
how things dey for una sides?

I dey o but sleep jus de evaporate for my bodi...

jus curious....u be wafi?

or claim that, "the question is a sin"

Whilst I can quite understand that some people of faith will very well be offended by the way some questions are posed and I believe they have the right to feel offended if those particular questions are aimed to provoke or mock...but really are there actually some questions that could or would be considered a “sin” independent of any malicious intentions?

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]yes but mixed marriages usually fail in the long term or it has bad impact on the kids. either ways, their lives are screwed some day or the other.[/quote]Quite interesting. I might be deviating somewhat but I'm curious...do you believe that no one has at the very least any indirect "mixture"? Also what if a child that is from parents of the same heritage is brought up in a foreign environment will they not be affected by their environment? ...What I mean is...do you think "mixture" is solely achieved via nature?

Ha, the tumbleweed still rolls...

Actually there’s quite a few Londoners here I believe but it’s kinda funny because you can never be too sure if indeed you’ve never bumped into a fellow nairalander in real life before...perish the thought

What I don’t quite understand is if people feel the necessity to abuse constructively criticize a particular demographic (and one that they are related to by the way) why not have the basic civility to preface those gross generalizations with a simple “some”...instead of “all"..if not to be provocative?
The most unpleasant abuse to bear is not when someone even insults you it’s when someone insults your mother...so how can some people shamelessly insult their mother’s kind without disrespecting themselves?

jamace: Sisita mi, e for good well well to see you land gidigbaaa for gardin citi. There will be plenti jolificashion, plus including isi-ewu and shine-shine bobo for you. Haw you see am?

Lwkmd...mek I kuku pack my bags now now

ifyalways: IMO,Warri is both the king and father of pidgin language.Theirs is unique because they come up with funny and ridiculous slangs each day unlike other places....other towns sometimes wait for Warfians to coin out new slangs.

Lol so I guess the difference is that warri set the standard lol (jk)

@OP but yeah Naija people usually tell me how unique warri pidgin is and sometimes they don’t even understand warris own after telling them I’m Deltan...and they’re like "oh so u yarn wafi’s own?"...and I’m like lol not even sapele.

Warri: Cane your line

Lol very creative. Warri no dey carry last, I hail o.

If you hadn’t noticed I was not attempting to answer your open question. I was just amending your skewed definition informing you more on the sceptics’ stance and that indeed there are more than one type that certainly won’t satisfy that description you improperly rendered.

Callotti: Slightly? You are extremely polite. I will be like you if I ever grow up. I am MAJORLY at odds with such recurrent themes of ambivalence concerning the 'almighrry' Christian 'cherub' ati 'saraph'!

I guess I’m more forgiving than the biblical entity
Excuse my typo. In all honesty I am floored by that aspect but I’m sure there’s a ready-made explanation i.e. “we were made sinners by virtue of Adam’s ancient sin”

jmoore: Skeptics always try to put their own reasoning and come out with the conclusion that God does not exist.

Not necessarily.

“Should we adopt that which only appeals to our credulity and not our scepticism.”

Just because a person does not accept your god as legitimate doesn’t automatically qualify such person as an atheist. The presence of sceptics actually allows for a stimulating environment and questions should be encouraged.

But the biggest problem they don't know is that reasoning is limited.

That I do agree with. So when we do encounter a limit do we thus employ faith to exceed that limit? If so then doesn't that mean faith can only be conveniently adopted at a particular point? Faith is personal hence subjective, right?

I actually think it’s courageous and remarkable of such a person that does not remain complacent in what they have been fed to believe but set out on their own discovery of the truth which charts a more cathartic course than comfortably drinking of the cup that another cites as the truth and thus becoming independent on the teacher of that message.

Èvê?

Ese rie he.

Interesting.

[quote author=Efemena_xy]ah - you waka reach this side?

you are most welcome! [/quote]Efemena...how I love that name... recently I met someone with that name.

Megwo.

Ayomivic: what is Torah? Is it not taken from scripture?

It’s the other way around. I only asked that question because the author of the thread claims that no other book is like the bible and that it has unique teachings but technically that’s not true.

musKeeto: Doesn't the knowledge of good and evil encompass all knowledge?

Not it does not, it just encompasses Man’s moral knowledge and discernment...in my humble view.

If you choose to tread this path, if 'ADAM' didn't have a knowledge of 'good' or 'evil', how would HE have known it was GOOD/EVIL to disobey God? If the knowledge of good/evil is classified as CONSCIENCE, would it be right to say God gave an instruction to one without CONSCIENCE? What does a baby know?

I used to ponder about this myself and I am a little puzzled by it to be honest. But don’t we have inclinations?
To be honest I don’t know how much Adam and Eve knew. But I suspect that they knew more than what we sometimes give them credit for – so ironically it’s kinda like a dramatic irony except these characters know more about the plot than us as the audience/readers.

However I find it difficult to mentally interpret this abode as a material one unless the tree stood for a metaphor. When one thinks about it...the other tree which was the “tree of life” was a metaphor of Christ...so I’m left thinking what the “tree of the knowledge of good of evil” signified. Possibly the “world” i.e. carnality...but Adam and Eve was in the World...no actually they were in the “Earth”...so I’m still trying to figure some things out myself...

Then those who become less reliant are promised HELL for not believing? Shouldn't both sides be treated right?

Treated right? What do you mean by treated right and by whom? By believers, society, god? etc... I ask because...according to the rule master this is the right treatment for both sides.
That’s the nature of the game. I don’t condone it of course but if I’m honest I don’t entirely understand the reasoning behind the rules (because I suspect there must be deeper implications than what we’ve rationalized i.e. god is arrogant).

However that’s not to say that one who has gained much in understanding cannot decisively still come to God - and vice versa ( being independent of god doesn’t have to be a side effect of knowledge acquired) - It’s just that such a person most likely will come to appreciate that in which they call god with their holistic being. When I say that I mean with the inclusion of the spirit and mind etc. I believe it’s very important to engage the mind and not blindly trudge on a path that one believes is safe or has been labelled as the “truth” so therefore must be the truth. There is blind faith and there is blind reasoning but reasoning should not be exempted from faith.

@OP
I disagree with some of the things you wrote but yes the bible is a unique book. It’s a unique book given its niche and the effect it has and can cause.

Many of what is happening now has already been written in the bible. Is this not a sign that there is an "alpha and omega" somewhere?

There were some mediums, one of them being a book that fortold 911 – does that suddenly accord that book (and those other mediums) a divine status?

jmoore: God communicates to people through the Bible.
Guide on how to live our lives, the consequences of our sins, and how the world will end.

Thus god communicates to people indirectly?
Once upon a time I asked...is a book sufficient enough to guide many in faith?
A book that is claimed to exclusively hold the infallible truth - yet a book is fallible to mistranslations, misinterpretations and other tampering.

The Bible is a story about God's relationship with man. God is always talking to us through the Bible, all we have to do is listen, by reading his word.

If I wanted to know more about Yahweh or Solomon’s words of wisdom could I not forgo the Bible and read the Torah instead?

Callotti: If "God" created defective merchandise from the get go, how can the so-called 'nominal', hypocritical Christians strive for a better society?

And this is what I'm slightly at odds with. “He” allowed for us to be created faulty yet commands us to be faultless and that “he” is the convenient solution to our inbuilt imperfection.
