No. I think the second line is praise the Lord for he is kind
Really? I know those orthodox and catholic churches could be very traditional and but pentecostal churches too? They are very mega now with projector everywhere. Some don't bother with hymns again. It's been over 10years I set my eyes on this book in my church so I want to believe the churches you're referring to are those fairly big churches.

Oh sorry, yessss, that's the second line. I don go mix am with another hymn.

My parents church is a Pentecostal one and hymn books are still very much in force there. Even Celestial churches still use them as well.
So yes, the fairly big ones.

Hahahaha. My hymn book is still with me. For weird reasons, I have become attached to it despite not really going to church anymore.....

Omoluabi16:
Yes. I used this..My favorite was Let us with a gladsome mind!
Technology has replaced hymn books/bulletin in churches now.

Let us with a gladsome mind,
Sing to God with cheerful voice
For his mercies shall endure
Ever faithful ever sure.


Lol. Most churches still use hymn books sha, trust me on that.

Lukuluku69:
Primary School and Secondary School.

You get flogged if you don't bring one to the Assembly in Secondary School.

People were stealing hymn books back then. Omooo.

Kobicove:
It used to be a standard staple of secondary school in those days

I know right. Mine was primary and secondary.

When times were simpler.

naijapikin2:
No I used SACRED SONG OF SOLOS. Red cover who used that with me?

Ahhh. God be praised for those days we get up. Gen Z's won't understand what it meant. Spending half of their day. Tik-toking.

Good old days

Lool e nor get any insult Gen Z never collect for this Nairaland.

I'm Gen Z and I used both Songs of Praise (SOP) and Sacred Song and Solos (SS&S). Upon seeing your post, I went to look for my hymn book.

There's nothing wrong with Tik-toking too.

Yampotatocarrot:
You mean you're allowed in courtroom without it? First time I'll be hearing that, only seen it in the movie SUITS

I don't go to courts anymore. I'm fully In-house/Corporate baddie lawyer.

However, lawyers don't wear wig and gown in Magistrate courts.

Nazgul:
Ok o

Nazgul:
Don't worry. Very soon you'll join me.

Story. Blue blood for life.

Nazgul:
You can port to Manutd so that every weekend we'll keep congratulating each other like this.

Lmao 🤣🤣 in your dreams. I can never be a ManUtd fan.

Nazgul:
At least we won. 3 points secured

Congratulations.

The curse of Manure United is real.

#Amorim Must Remain.

DeepSight:
I have left litigation many many years ago. Its still the principle.

OK.

DeepSight:
Just on point of principle, its absurd.

Lol, leave litigation and go in-house nau.

DeepSight:
Well said.

One of the things that disgusts me the most for we lawyers is the wig and gown. It is such a ridiculous colonial outfit especially in this weather. In most court rooms, lawyers sit like Christmas goats while wearing a garb meant for European courts of centuries gone by.

It is sickening.
I intend to present a petition to the Bar Association to start the process to drop it.

Hahaha Pele.

I haven't worn my wig and gown in almost two years. Still good as new.

Shegzdave:
People that even open eyed than some of their southern counterparts

If he lived there he go know

Do you gett??!!

Who nor go nor truly know.

Caaz:
But you were happily doing go zaddy and spending lavishly on a corper earlier this year who ate your money like crazy...maybe her big bobbi decieved you.

Allow! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Gerrard59:
Apparently, it seems the notion that northern women don't have it good isn't true. On the other hand, their southern counterparts have so much freedom to pursue any goal they desire.

Yes, the divorce rate still shocks me. This means, technically, the region should have more single mothers than its southern counterpart. Yet southerners are said to abuse the marriage institution.

Nigeria is an interesting country with interesting people.

Oh well, I am not in the best position to state if the Northern women have it good or not.

But yes, Southern women have the freedom to do all their heart desires.

Lol I know right. If you noticed, even the recently engaged Princess of Dubai divorced herself from her ex-husband.

Well, I don't know if they have more single mothers than their southern counterparts, I'm not bothered about that, honestly.

Yup Nigerians are indeed interesting. Good people, Great Nation.

Gerrard59:
It means their cultural upbringing differs. That's why I don't take at face value every criticism labelled towards Nigerian men and women. People should be specific regarding who they are calling out.

I agree with the quoted poster about their honesty and straightforwardness. Respect the religion and don't be arrogant, everything will be fine.

The last paragraph sums everything up.

descarado:
If not because of religion and politician weaponising poverty, northern nigeria is the way to go.
Check out any southerner that grew up in the north.
They are very respectful and never loud. They mind their biz. My family don't know how to speak igbo. My husband was on the look out for an igbo babe when he met me. That family behaves like non igbo. English plus the north. I wasn't surprised when people ask me where did he grow up right from Nigeria. Me, I dey form but truth be told, that is how northerners behave. I did my wedding there. They are very down to earth. The elite are so humble. Forget politics.
I was invited to Mrs abacha birthday some years back. See me and fear. I no gree go. I was newly married then. Still, gifts shared reached my house.
When I was in school, a close friend asked for kilishi from her mum's friend( governor's wife). This lady didn't only send it, she wrote a letter personally to him not to slack in his study. Governor's wife. Who will do that in the south.
Who born you.

Remove boko haram and poverty weaponisation, I prefer the north anytime, any day.

When I was selling jewellery. I usually buy from a northerner. This man will go extra mile for me.
One day,he told me to get 250k and he will take me to dubai so I will stop buying from him. That was how my journey to dubai started. A nupe man. As in he was in awe how a student will be hustling and studying at the same time and I am a lady. All the time I did biz with him he protected me and my interest.
Meanwhile I was sent to an igboman who didn't waste time to try entering my p..nts that same day.
That man rescued me and help build me up financially.


Depending on where you reside, if you are somewhere close to the north like Abuja, lean towards the northerners but be mindful of your dressing. You will climb up faster than you know it, in your career and no strings attached. As long as you are truthful and respect yourself.

Quite a nice experience you have, Des.

I wholly agree with you 1000%.

I love love Northerners, stayed in the North for few yeara too; they're easier to deal with. They're honest too, if they don't like you, you will know straight up.

In my PPA for Nysç, the married MD (a Southern Christian) was moving mad and generally weird around me, he deducted my salary unjustly, all the Muslim Northerners in the company stood up for me, including the HR personnel. That was a touching experience for me. Meanwhile my fellow Southern folks just sit down dey look me.

I visited Abuja earlier this year and still hung out with the Muslim Northerners and they welcomed me well with open arms, the reception was amazing.

And this is the reason I asked Gerrard if he's seen any core Northern man bash their women on social media.

Gerrard59:
Christian or Muslim? How come they - the men from both sides - don't complain about their women as much as those down south today every Eke Market day?

Both religion.

This is because Southern men are very loud.

The Northern men protect their women a lot,despite them having the highest rate of divorces every Eke Market day.

How many Northern men have you seen bashing their women on Twitter?

Gerrard59:
Looks like a Northern Christian lady. I guess that's the solution to the "open eyed" ladies across southern Nigeria.

But then, southern men made their women what they are today.

God bless Islam.

I'm amused that you think Northern women aren't "open eyed".

Nazgul:
How many matches have we played so far. Just wait and see...season just started.

Yen yen yen. That's what you said for last season too.

Nazgul:
Lol but we're the biggest club in England na. Google and chatgtp is your friend.

Keep on living in delulu. All the matches y'all have been playing recently have been quite disgraceful but I'm very happy about that.

Mariangeles:
I was wondering what Laygurs was, till I said it in my head. 😀

Lmao, nor vex Maria.

I filled my 12.5kg cylinder at N960 yesterday.

Location: NNPC Laygurs.

Esthered:
Okay. They're doing well.

I know right.

Esthered:
Those ones that opens a thread saying men should avoid single mothers, what do you have to say.

The equation even balance for here as both are single parents.

emperor4love:
Can't be 18million dolls,even obi cubana dey on 500million dolls networth

Lol. We have a numbers problem in Nigeria.

Congratulations Toke. May Yakira Eliana be a blessing to you.

dominique:
So man Utd has crashed out of the EFL cup this early. Can they possibly sink lower than this? Their coach has said they would suffer, this is part of the suffering he's talking about. I feel bad for the new signings sha

Lol I'm very much satisfied at their loss, it'd help me sleep well tonight.

Nazgul Keep on deluding yourself that the club is the biggest in England. Jokes on you.
