Jennimma: Is it godly to dance worldly steps in church?
Most of the youths in our churches enjoy dancing steps they learn from secular music like "skelewu" and such likes...and most of our pastors say little or nothing about it. I kinda feel its not right.
Should christains copy worldly dance steps? Can't we create our own dance steps?
Comments allowed.

what if skelewu dance was initiated in the church before the world copied it,would you see it as a wrong thing? Or is it because it was initiated in the world and the church copied,is it what makes it wrong? or is their anything wrong with the dance step itself?

The truth is that we over analyzes what we see and do when worshiping God which shouldn't be

Serving God has to do with your heart not what you wear to church nor your dance steps in the church

What about all these advertisement and people that participate in it?

Does it mean they don't hold auditions? I barely see the notice here and I'm more interested in it than movies

Masturbation is highly spiritual, I'm a living testimony

nas4q:
Whose? Op's or mine?

you said you guys should exchanged, you both can share it

But seriously th op is enjoying though it will affect his marital life if he didn't break the jinx now, apart from that I wish I'm the one its happening to

nas4q:
My own problem is the opposite of wht u relayed here. Every lady I meet wants me to be her bf or we must be dating before she could give me the coochie. To me urs is a gud problem. Letz exchange problems please!

Lol.. Problem shared problem solved

You are always broke,no job, no biz nor any source of income, something just came up that you needed to invest like #30,000 and start making money

Then no where to get the money from,nobody to borrow from,you prayed nothing happened and you have just 2 weeks left, how extra mile can you go to raise this #30,000

Have something similar to this ever happened to you? What did you do, how extra mile did you go?

kokolet007:
We follow the bible instruction recorded @ 1con7 vs 39....Marry only in the Lord!

so others are not in the lord?

Anyway you need to edit the subject of your topic to "17 facts" not secret, secrets interprets negativity

Meringe:
depends on what you want. A good native doctor will settle the spirit of the old being. why d bad native doctor will collect ur money and do nothing. likewise d pastors, if u meet a good man of God, just a word is enough to cast d spirit out of the person but if u get d bad ones, the will charge u money for deliverance and still do nothing.
just be careful.

thanks

The one y'all should be scared of are the ones which may cause death not dick

soonest:
I don't know anything about the traditional remedy but as a christian, I believe the person can be delivered

which church do you think can handle the deliverance well

And don't you think it may still come back if the deliverance?

I hate seeing things like this with passion, does it mean these guys doing this advertise here finds it difficult getting girls in real life?

Imagine all the process you'll pass here before getting what you want,you can use 10 percent of the time and get 10 girls offline

Do you know how many girls that is in ojota now as you are typing this, wake up to realities

MissYuzedo: well i met dis new guy in transcorp hilton

#bITG

after rejecting suitors now,few years later you alleged your inability to find a husband on your uncle in the village and start running up and down, from tb joshua to celestial church

My dear Marry o and forget that phrase that says "age is just a number" its a lie, age is a number only in a man's life o not woman o

I done talk finish, a word is enough for the wise

soonest: Agwu is beyond stubborness. Irrational behaviour,absent-mindedness and lack of sense are all part and parcel of agwu

do you know the remedy?

Meringe: In the traditional way, any child that's stubborn or one who does not follow the straight path of life or standard of the family is considered to be possessed by Agwu.
the remedy in the traditional way is to go do agwu rite. it doesn't cost much. Christianity and modernization have almost wiped the practices. but some people still do it.
traditionally, if u ve a good person to handle and maintain the rite, he will use it to make the child prosperous.

Agwu connects with the reincarnation. it's believed that when a stubborn man dies,he will come back stubborn. so, to stop the person from being stubborn, the agwu isi rite will be performed. that will eventually make the person free from the old being and live his life as a new creature.

thanks, following it up with prayer and settling it in traditional way which one do you think is more effective?

Ninilowo: Only for the whites sha. I am 45 and hardly will you notice a difference between me and twenty something coutesy of good diet and sports.

that's nice, am 27 but I suspect I will get so fat in future which will make me look older than my age

Isiterere: Good 1.
I have a dream that one day nairaland will get "dislike button"



For the fun of it; FTC on an informative and developmental post by oga @d top



ALL IZZ WELL

I support you on the "dislike button" issues

hushmail: it is a deep rooted personality trait that endows its victim with irrational behavioural pattern. It is believed to b a curse from gods.

A kleptomaniac, pedophile etc can all be attributed to Agw

do you know the remedy?

Gflat:

So you are saying people stigmatizes fine guys with "chating"

That's cruel and i don't just wanna put my picture there i guess that's a choice for now

why won't you put your pics? That means you still doubt if you are handsome

I uploaded my pics the day I opened a thread like this and people started saying pics or.... , so I had to put it there because I'm 100% sure am cute

@ topic, check yourself well why those girls turn you down, it might not be about your looks, maybe you don't have money

If you are in ghana it might understandable but in nigeria looks don't really move the girls like that, money does

kemmary: i tink agwu nsi means stubborness oh, adamant etc

no its not

first of all,I need an igbo who speaks yoruba to translate AGWU NSI to yoruba language and some other dialect so they can contribute

The question is ,what is AGWU NSI, what's the predicament of someone who has it,how do you identify it and how do you sort it out?

the people I pity most are those that look way too older than their age, all these giants,before the age of 60 you see say death done dey price dem

I have a friend whom I'm 2 years older than but he looks like my uncle and e dey sweet am

Anyway,am not scared of aging,am only scared of dying before aging

When your body really starts aging

BRAIN
Starts ageing at 20,As we get older,the number of nerve cells or neurons in the brain decrease, We start with around 100 billion, but in our 20s this number starts to decline.
By 40, we could be losing up to 10,000 per
day, affecting memory, co-ordination and
brain function.
In fact, while the neurons are important, it's
actually the deterioration of the gaps between
the brain cells that has the biggest impact, says
Dr Wojtek Rakowicz, a consultant neurologist
at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in
London.
These tiny gaps between the end of one brain
nerve cell and another are called synapses.
Their job is to ensure the flow of information
from one cell to another, and as we age we
make fewer.


• BREASTS
Start ageing at 35
BY their mid-30s, women's breasts start losing
tissue and fat, reducing size and fullness.
Sagging starts properly at 40 and the areola
(the area surrounding the nipple) can shrink
considerably.
Although breast cancer risk increases with age,
it's not related to physical changes in the
breast.
More likely, says Gareth Evans, breast cancer
specialist at St Mary's Hospital, Manchester,
our cells become damaged with age - as a
result, the genes which control cell growth can
mutate, causing cancer.

• BLADDER
Starts ageing at 65
Loss of bladder control is more likely when
you hit 65.
The bladder starts to contract suddenly, even
when it's not full.
Women are more vulnerable to bladder
problems as, after the menopause, declining
oestrogen levels make tissues in the urethra -
the tube through which urine passes -
thinner and weaker, reducing bladder support.
Bladder capacity in an older adult generally is
about half that of a younger person - about
two cups in a 30-year-old and one cup in a 70-
year-old.
This causes more frequent trips to the loo,
particularly as poor muscle tone means the
bladder may not fully empty. This in turn can
lead to urinary tract infections.

• LUNGS
Start ageing at 20
Lung capacity slowly starts to decrease from
the age of 20.
By the age of 40, some people are already
experiencing breathlessness. This is partly
because the muscles and the rib cage which
control breathing stiffen up.
It's then harder to work the lungs and also
means some air remains in the lungs after
breathing out - causing breathlessness.
Aged 30, the average man can inhale two pints
of air in one breath. By 70, it's down to one.

• VOICE
Starts ageing at 65
Our voices become quieter and hoarser with
age. The soft tissues in the voice box (larynx)
weaken, affecting the pitch, loudness and
quality of the voice.
A woman's voice may become huskier and
lower in pitch, whereas a man's might become
thinner and higher.

• EYES
Start ageing at 40
Glasses are the norm for many over-40s as
failing eyesight kicks in - usually long-
sightedness, affecting our ability to see objects
up close.
As we age, the eye's ability to focus
deteriorates because the eyes' muscles
become weaker, says Andrew Lotery,
professor of ophthalmology at the University
of Southampton.

• HEART
- Starts ageing at 40
The heart pumps blood less effectively around
the body as we get older.
This is because blood vessels become less
elastic, while arteries can harden or become
blocked because of fatty deposits forming on
the coronary arteries - caused by eating too
much saturated fat.
The blood supply to the heart is then reduced,
resulting in painful angina.
Men over 45 and women over 55 are at
greater risk of a heart attack.
A recent study by Lloyds Pharmacy found the
average person in the UK has a 'heart age' five
years older than their chronological age,
probably due to obesity and lack of exercise.

• LIVER
Starts ageing at 70
This is the only organ in the body which seems
to defy the ag ing process.
'Its cells have an extraordinary capacity to
regenerate,' explain David Lloyd, a consultant
liver surgeon at Leicester Royal Infir mary.
He says he can remove ha a liver during
surgery and it will grow to the size of a
complete liver within three months.
If a donor doesn't drink, use drug or suffer
from infection, then it is possible to transplant
a 70-year-old liver into a 20-year-old.

• KIDNEYS
Starts ageing at 50
With kidneys, the number of filtering units
(nephrons) that remove waste from the
bloodstream starts to reduce in middle age.
One effect of this is their inability to turn off
urine production at night, causing frequent
trips to the bathroom.
The kidneys of a 75-year-old person will filter
only half the amount of blood that a 30-year-
old's will.

• PROSTATE
Starts ageing at 50
The prostate often becomes enlarged with age,
leading to problems such as increased need to
urinate, says Professor Roger Kirby, director of
the Prostate Centre in London. This is known
as benign prostatic hyperplasia and affects half
of men over 50, but rarely those under 40.
It occurs when the prostate absorbs large
amounts of the male sex hormone
testosterone, which increases the growth of
cells in the prostate.
A normal prostate is the size of a walnut, but
the condition can increase this to the size of a
tangerine.

• BONES
Start ageing at 35
'Throughout our life, old bone is broken down
by cells called osteoclasts and replaced by
bone-building cells called osteoblasts - a
process called bone turnover,' explains Robert
Moots, professor of rheumatology at Aintree
University Hospital in Liverpool.
Children's bone growth is rapid - the skeleton
takes just two years to renew itself
completely. In adults, this can take ten years.
Until our mid-20s, bone density is still
increasing. But at 35 bone loss begins as part
of the natural ageing process.
This becomes more rapid in post-menopausal
women and can cause the bone-thinning
condition osteoporosis.
The shrinking in size and density of bones can
lead to loss of height. Bones in the back shrivel
up or crumble between the vertebrae. We lose
two inches in height by the time we're 80.

• TEETH
Start ageing at 40
As we age, we produce less saliva, which
washes away bacteria, so teeth and gums are
more vulnerable to decay.
Receding gums - when tissue is lost from
gums around the teeth - is common in adults
over 40.

• MUSCLES
Start ageing at 30
Muscle is constantly being built up and broken
down, a process which is well balanced in
young adults.
However, by the time we're 30, breakdown is
greater than buildup, explains Professor
Robert Moots.
Once adults reach 40, they start to lose
between 0.5 and 2 per cent of their muscle
each year. Regular exercise can help prevent
this.

• HEARING
Starts ageing mid-50s
More than half of people over 60 lose hearing
because of their age, according to the Royal
National Institute for the Deaf.
The condition, known as presbycusis, happens
due to a loss of 'hair cells' - tiny sensory cells
in the inner ear which pick up sound vibrations
and send them to the brain.

• SKIN
Starts ageing mid-20s
The skin starts to age naturally in your
mid-20s.
According to Dr Andrew Wright, a consultant
dermatologist with Bradford NHS Trust, as we
get older production of collagen - the protein
which acts as scaffolding to the skin - slows,
and elastin, the substance that enables skin to
snap back into place, has less spring and can
even break.
Dead skin cells don't shed as quickly and
turnover of new skin cells may decrease
slightly.
This causes fine wrinkles and thin, transparent
skin - even if the first signs may not appear
until our mid-30s (unless accelerated by
smoking or sun damage).

• TASTE AND SMELL
Start ageing at 60
We start out in life with about 10,000 taste
buds scattered on the tongue. This number can
halve later in life.
After we turn 60, taste and smell gradually
decline, partly as a result of the normal ageing
process.
This can be accelerated by problems such as
polyps in the nasal or sinus cavities. It can also
be the cumulative effect of years of smoking.

• FERTILITY
Starts ageing at 35
Female fertility begins to decline after 35, as
the number and quality of eggs in the ovaries
start to fall.
The lining of the womb may become thinner,
making it less likely for a fertilised egg to take,
and also creating an environment hostile to
sperm.
Male fertility also starts to drop around this
age. Men who wait until their 40s before
starting a family have a greater chance of their
partner having a miscarriage, because of the
poorer quality of their sperm.

• HAIR
Starts ageing at 30
Male hair loss usually begins in the 30s. Hair is
made in tiny pouches just under the skin's
surface, known as follices.
A hair normally grows from each follicle for
about three years, is then shed, and a new hair
grows.
However, with male-pattern baldness, changes
in levels of testosterone from their early-30s
affect this cycle, causing the hair follicles to
shrink.
Each new hair is thinner than the previous one.
Eventually, all that remains is a much smaller
hair follicle and a thin stump of hair that does
not grow out to the skin surface.
Most people will have some grey hair by the
age of 35. When we are young, our hair is
coloured by the pigments produced by cells in
the hair follicle known as melanocytes.
As we grow older, melanocytes become less
active, so less pigment is produced, the colour
fades, and grey hairs grow instead

• GUT
Starts ageing at 55
A healthy gut has a good balance between
harmful and 'friendly' bacteria.
But levels of friendly bacteria in the gut drop significantly after 55, particularly in the large intestine, says Tom MacDonald, professor of immunology at Barts And The London medical school.

As a result, we suffer from poor digestion and an increased risk of gut disease, Constipation is more likely as we age, as the
flow of digestive juices from the stomach, liver, pancreas and small intestine slows down.

• BREASTS
