You dont have 2 feel "foolish" when you are doing the right thing and pleasing God.

[quote author=Mynd_44]The advantages of mobile browsing[/quote]I guess that will greatly affect ur social life, spiritual life and financial life also.

eddy1977: On the contrary,grace empowers the believers to live above sin. Titus 2:11_13.
Please,don't complicate the gospel with hard theology and personal understanding. Why is it that most Christians do their best to scare people with doom,gloom,hell,etc... While the new testament makes it really simple?

Heaven is not a reward.it is a gift. Only God,s grace can empower a person to live victorious,sin free and enter heaven. Rom 6:23.

its a gradual thing,on daily basis as 1 grows spirtualy,sometimes u may yield 2 d desirs of d flesh.

[quote author=Mynd_44]72 hours in 3 days[/quote]dont u sleep,eat,go 2 church? Or hangout wit friends?

tishat: Hnmm my dad wld ve been divorced 10x if he wasn't married to my mum.He's is such a
Difficult person to please!only my mum knows his antidote.he does all the talking,takes all decisions while my mum smiles sheepisly,i always call her a
Fool inlove.She is a
Deeper life member so wen my dad is not getting his usual sadine and bread @ her shop he threatens her with hell fire and it ll served immediately with a
Chilled malt.
Somex I wish I got dat trait from my mother but unfortunately my dad gave me all of his.

babe,u need 2 work on yourself then if u hav ALL those atitude 4rm ur dad, cus most guys wont lyk such atitude.

[quote author=tpia@]I was referring to the person you quoted.[/quote]ok, u mean bukkyDan.

k2039: [color=soyouquotedme]48 hours a day [/color]

dats addiction.

[quote author=tpia@]Hmm, just pray for him, the problems you described usually go much deeper than what you know or are capable of understanding.

Also, try to have good friends who can help you focus on other things ( and vice versa), and lastly, mind how or what you share in a public capacity, lest your familial enemies use you against the family.

Just my two cents, hope you heal by God's grace.[/quote]i dont get ur advice.

i spent an average of 1-2 hours daily on NL. What about you?

eddy1977: I respectfully disagree with you poster because the only sin that leads to hell is the sin of rejecting jesus. John 16:8
The word of God teaches us that only by grace are we saved. Ephesians 2:8
Not by "not sinning", but by his grace . This doesn't mean that we should go out and live like heathens.
Religion has blinded many Christians for so long by teaching that we must earn our way to heaven.if we r holy enough.
God doesn't let you in heaven because you were blameless and holy. He only let's you in heaven if Romans 10:9 is a reality to you.

Because you have the grace, you can go about committing sin? because sin is not in your dictionary?

BukkyDan: hmn...dear dats nt gonna be possible...cos dad doesn't want me n mum,i'm an only child,they'v neen divorced 4 long nw,and dad doesn't care where we are,if we're alive or not,4get dat man jor, he belives a gal child is useless#laffs# m jst 19yrs with no fatherly love,mtchew,i hate to think of him,yoruba men are wicked

1. Did your mum/dad remarry?
2. Its not impossible- keep praying for him, since you are the only child, one day he will realize his mistakes and call u back.
3. Call him once in a while (to check on him), visit him occasionally
4. dont let that affect your future relationship with yoruba men
5. Focus on your career& ur life, one day he will run after you when you become GREAT.
6. Hold on to God also, its very important.
by the way

7. Not all yoruba men are wicked (you cant conclude based on a single or handful experience you had), there are some good ones out there

dirtymoney: Reading right inside the church and asking God when would all this bloodshed stop.

INSIDE CHURCH?

zoete: ;DThe relationship between my parents is a love hate relationship. My mom is an independent hard working woman so whenever my dad misbehave she just throw him out let he go to his own house so when hen get back to his senses he can return

BukkyDan: Hmm...d only time my dad smiles z when my mum collects ha salary...always quarelling,i sometimes imagine whether they are forced to marry each other...funny part is dat,dad always sings in yoruba after a quarell while mum shouts and rants...they divorced now though,i stay with mum,she is my all,d separation didn't affect me much,cos mum pays my fees ryt 4rm tym...

uhmmm, u guys should start working on bringing them together.

joeydozzy: my parents are pretty much how the norm of the marriage in the 80s have been. they believe in culture and values

dad has the inflated ego that I haven't seen in any person. he loves commands even if not required at all. he loves raising his voice. lol, even his advice is more of "no other way about or it or else..." than....

mum is fragile takes everything to heart. loves stating her views and if you don't like it, the whole world will hear about it

now put these two together and you'll see why I see them few times in a year. now, the love is there, we cover our eyes or leave the room when they start their "Kporo m love gi" but the love is stale

Unlike me, i used to go home once in a year and sometimes once in 2 years because of frequent misunderstandings, but now since they are beginning 2 show affection for each other, i go home more often.

[quote author=tpia@]op, as you make your bed. . . . . . . . . . .[/quote]How do u mean?

Vikin: My parents are always together..dad does most of the talk while mum listens. But, if she doesn't agree to something,just knw she is right.

Sometimes dad complains that she is too stubborn, blah blah blah....but if you chip in to support his talk...you are the next victim. What you will hear is...leave my wife for me!

I learnt not to put my mouth whenever they have an argument. I just keep laughing at the side line.

Your dad must be romantic.

Cunninlingus: I use to date someone in Minna and had to make the 2hr trip from Abuja to Minna every 2 days.

Lets just say on one particular trip I counted at least 200 POSTERS AND BILLBOARDS of this jacka55 from Abuja till I got bored 30mins to arriving Minna.

There is a saying that the more effigies and posters you see of the leader the more dictatorial the society is.

Later this clueless baboon will use religious and tribal sentiments to demand the right to rule Nigeria.

After unna go talk say nah GEJ be ode.

I blame una?

anytime i see his posters, i used to think of him as a model. Maybe he has plans of going into modelling.

k2039: [color=soyouquotedme]Relationship: Sour.

Impact: Mum took full responsibilty for my upbringing, she was dad and mum together, so their relationship didn't really have much impact on me

Lesson: Be a better husband and father than my father.
[/color]

That was the same lesson i learnt from my experience also.

For the very first time (im 28 years), i saw my dad kissed my mum yesterday. I grew up to see my parents quarreling and having misunderstanding over little things. The relationship between them has not been that pleasant until recently (even though i dont stay with my parents). I know so many people (families) may be passing through similar situation.

Fellow Nairalanders, please share with us the kind of relationship (sour/good/rosy/bad/etc) that exist between your parents (from your observation) and what influence/impact it has on you and also lessons we can learn.

eni mcnite: Dey hardly tok sef!..always quarrellin at d drop of a pin for 28 yrs nw

bros, i used 2 av d same experience until recently that God intervened.my siblings n i got tired of d whole stuff.

omiobo: Iya lagbaja and baba lagbaja

that's actually common in yoruba land.

k2039: [color=soyouquotedme]
Dad: Your mummy

Mum: Your daddy [/color]

Dats what they call each other when i was growing up.
