Travel / Re: British Airways Stewardess Made Racist Comments About Nigerian Passengers(Video) by esere826: 7:50am On Sep 26, 2017 |
Explorers: Racist? I dont think so. It sounds more like she has learnt the nIgerian yabis humour and is enjoying it. It actually sounds like she sees the whole experience as fun and that she fancies the Nigeria guys because of their tools ...however, it is unprofessional 3 Likes |

Religion / Re: The So Called Voice Of The Holy Spirit. by esere826: 11:05pm On Aug 05, 2017 |
Martinez19: Dude, I'm not interested in being probed nor turning what i'll tell you into some atheistic battle in ridicule. I wont speak after this and please, feel free to dismiss me as an unreliable witness. Yes, just as you've said, I suspect that many christians surmise their concience (which even aethists also have) as the voice of God. However, I have audibly heard God twice -the first time i was sick, so i thought i was hallucinating -You on your part can chalk it up to my sickness, that's scientifically logical. The second time I heard him clearly, there was no room to doubt -feel free to say my mind was playing tricks on me, but i definitely heard something and i was fully awake. As per thoughts being addressed as the voice of God, i tend to be skeptical because everyone can call their thoughts the voice of God hence leading to conflicting ideologies. However, there was this one time that a "thought" dropped into my thoughts. It was a money which was not a round figure. It hurt me to do what this "thought" wanted but when I did, the recipient smiled and said the money was an exact figure for something which I'll keep private and also avoid exaggeration about. Interestingly I still dont refer to that "thought" as God speaking to me (maybe later I'll start doing so). I just refer to it as sensing something from God, because it was not a voice at all, it just dropped in. |

Paulipopor: Dude, you still don't get it, do you It's simple English i wrote in, not some vernacular. And because you chose to engage in an ego fight, you persist in misinformation as is clear in your writting.

Religion / Re: Why Your FAITH No Longer Works. by esere826: 8:29am On Jun 11, 2017 |
"the reason your faith no longer works" ?? That is not a reasonable sentence construction. |It's like saying "the reason your jump no longer jumps" Faith works. If its not working, then its no faith in the first place. You'r probably trying to say .... "the reason your hope no longer works" or ... "the reason your hope no longer leads to faith". 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Reps Urge Shell To Suspend Planned Relocation Of It HQ From Port-harcourt by esere826: 11:37am On Jan 27, 2017 |
DeadWrong: Dude what exactly are you saying? You're mixing two unrelated events here. Granted that just as you highlighted, a large number of Niger Delta youths in host communities are nuisance to development, you miss the mark. That a HQ is relocated does not mean that Shell's operational staff will not remain on ground in communities to continue with business as usual. The HQ is were management/administrative staff work in. They have little or no interaction with the host communities were oil is actually drilled. I suspect that Shell's HQ major cost grouse in this instance would be on things like: 1) money spent on security for its top management staff 2) Regular kidnap of its HQ staff 3) Fear of kidnap by its HQ staff 4) Ill-defined levies beyond statutory tax extracted by both PH formal and informal orgs from both Shell HQ as an organisation, and its members of staff as individuals. 5) Costly inconvenience of living in a location (PH) that is far away from a federal or international hub such as Abuja and Lagos. So Shell HQ leaves the bad, bad Niger Delta and moves to the good, good Lagos right, so its top staff can easily travel home to their south west abodes during the weekends abi ? But leaves its actual money extracting operation in this bad, bad ND location ...LOL They should consider moving their HQ to Sokoto in the North which is quite peaceful or Asaba in Delta state or many other equally peaceful states were they wont be kidnapped naw. In this our present interconnected world, they could even go as far as relocating their Nigerian HQ to neigbouring cameroon or peaceful Ghane. I hope you guys will similarly support any of these other options as much as you salivate with eloquence of pro-and-con logic at the thought that Shell's intended next HQ destination is the Lagos/Ogun axis. |

IVORY2009: The prince of the SW probably chose PMB for three reasons 1) PMB unaided had consistently polled millions of votes from the core north -adding this to the SW votes would give a winning edge 2) there was a strong chance that your jagaban would be picked as the VP 3) PMB being an old man has a relatively larger probability of visiting the ancestors than other younger aspirants. This would have paved way for the VP to mount the throne just like Jonathan did. I wish them and Nigeria well |

1, the young man made a public defense of his mum to counter the public attack of the dad 2, the young man although 'rightly' angry ought not to have used words such as mad and bastard. it doesnt tell well of his upbringing 3, the young man informed his dad alright, but offering tickets to his dad (although gracious) for burial almost like a visitor in such a strained relationship with complexities was punching too far above his weight. His elders from both side of the families should be the ones leading burial arrangements, while he supports from the side. 4, Legal laws trump customary laws. Did the boy being of legal age have a will that states he be buried in his mums land? if yes, and the mothers land accepts it, then case closed. The law has no time for emotions. 5, If there are no overriding legal laws for or against, then customary laws come into play 6, Whose customary law? Do the customary laws of both families agree on this issue? If yes, then they follow its laid down procedure, whatever it may be. 7, If the customary laws do not agree, then both families will need to come to an amicable compromise. 8, I think that is what the father referred to when he talked of returning bride price. In his culture it symbolises the severance of a relationship from its root. 9, As part of the possible resolution, just as someone suggested, Stella can also claim that the child does not belong to the man. The man can also disown his dead and living sons from Stella, and completely cut of any blood links. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hardmirror Kudos on your post. I think you actually concluded your conversion story in your 1st thread. I suspect this thread only gives meat to your arguments. You were once a christian, so I am sure you'd understand the feeling of those of us that will try to shut you up, insult you, and condemn you to hell. Interestingly, even some of the apostles if they were around, might do the same. Its human nature and hardly peculiar to christians. However, lets assume that Jesus actually was what he was made out to be (I believe he was, and let's not bother about the concept of God at this point).. I am convinced that he would not have condemned you, then and even now. In fact, I suspect that he would have rebuked the christian hawks circling you right now ..he probably would have with a smile told you "come" You have experienced the fire of logic, which as burnt and is still burning away illogicals from where they were enthroned in your innermost recess. If for any reason you get into the faith again, it would be as a finer you without the frivolity of absurdities. Till then, stay blessed beloved of Christ 5 Likes 1 Share |

Hardmirror. Twas a great post. I also had burning and disturbing desire to save people from hell. It started with if I dont preach, I'm guilty if they go to hell. I soon overcame that after overcoming fear of God and me burning in hell. Next, I overcame the fear of people going to hell in th r first place. This came about by meditating on the life of Jesus. As powerful as he was he didnt levitate to the hinderlands of africa to preach the gospel with urgency. I'm still very much a jesus beliver with a desire to spread the gospel. However, I realise that my initial belifs were built on extremely faulty and illogical foundations. I continue my walk with God, peeling off lots of error that were thaught to me by christian tradition, some of which are as old as christianity itself. I feel you brother 9 Likes 4 Shares |
