Normally you hear the bible is God's word given and written by divine inspiration, so most people take it as God's words literally which it is said to be. So if it's God's words and "God is not an author of confusion", wouldn't the bible literally NOT contradict itself?! So i wanted to do the whole bible in a year thing and ive began to notice some things just don't add up and in good faith i'ld like open minded christians(those who read their bibles not my pastor said), if there are any here to explain these things to me.

According to the bible, Adam was the first man on earth, while Eve the first woman. They birhted the first procreated people Cain and Abel. We all know what went down between them. After cain killed Abel, God cursed him and put a mark on him. Here's the part i can't explain (GEN 4 v 13-16). Cain made the following statement: "Whoever finds me would kill me" and God responded “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

If they're the first people on earth who are these other people that are being referred to that could find and kill Cain

Uhmm!!
How well do you understand the scriptures? If I'm to make you understand, you should be a good bible student.
Well, I believe you must have heard people say "before men, there were men"?
Yeah! That's true.
Those men were giants, they were on the earth around that time. So the scriptures could have referred to them.

thorpido:
Have you really thought about your choice of course of study and the university you want to go.Some universities will favor you(and make admission easier)more than others.Consider your state of origin.

Keep pushing, don't give up.Prepare well for your next exam.Wish you all the best.

Course: Nursing
University: Uniben
State of origin: Edo state

Yeah! Thanks a lot.
You're one of many reasons I won't give up.
Have it in mind that you've contributed to my greatness and I appreciate

CrownOfClay724:
Your story no gel, but maybe that's cos you're "18".

The best way to run away from home is to carry your bag and go to one of those Motor Parks at Siluko Road, Ramat Park or Akpakpava.
But the question is : to where?
Where are you running to?

The street is cruel.
The choice is between staying in your comfort zone and grinding your way through or doing what you said your mates are doing.

And I know you've since made your choice.
Good luck.

I don't know what you meant by "your story nor get gel"
While some would call it one minute madness, I'd say that was my one minute cry out.
I've always endured this but tonight, I thought of writing it and sharing it as a post instead of keeping it locked in my diary.
Somehow, I regret sharing it on here but it's irreversible already.

I will pray, God will hear me one day and send me an angel.
I won't run away from home. Yeah! Coz the street is cruel. Sometimes, home is too but I'd rather endure the cruelty from home than from the street.
I know I belong in a home, a family and not on the street.
I'll be fine sha😒...
In God I trust, He always comes through for His own

dawnomike:
ooops

Thanks for wanting to help...
I appreciate that. I feel a lot better now! I guess I only needed one good comment to enable me see hope again.

dawnomike:
Don't feel bad about all these... This stage of your life, it will seem as though if you don't pass jamb n gain admission life is over! I understand that.

If you reside in lagos, let me know... let's start by sorting d issue of job now, then school by preparing for another jamb, then get you to be working while schooling to support yourself...

😩 I reside in Edo state, Benin city

Evolutionlove:
Okay.

Start Olosho Work like all your Mates are currently doing and stop posting stvpid sob stories on here. Nonsense.

I'm a Christian so don't insult my personality.
I'm not a girl who can submit her body to a man she's not married to.

[I'm pained!
I just want to know "how people run away from home".
I know I've got nowhere to go to and no one to run to but all I can think of right now is how I must leave this house, the negative vibes, the toxicity and hate.

My dad bought so many bags of cement, trips of sand to build his house. How much did I ask for?

I can't do what my mates are doing in the street because I just can't. If not, I just might have been one of those underaged prostitutes or thieves.
God has so much helped me because I've thought of so many crazy things to do but Christ in me won't allow it.

I want to be free abeg!
How do I run away from home?😩

I'm just not in the mood so I won't be telling much stories...

Last year, depression almost killed me if not for the saving grace of God.
I wrote jamb, scored 225. Took delta state university's post utme form and scored 68. I wasn't admitted.
As I so much didn't want to stay at home for another year, I called my dad and asked him to send me money for a change of institute, he declined.
He was like "abeg! Wait for another year, I nor get shi shi". Yeah, I know he's not a literate but I expected that he understands the value of education but he doesn't.

I cried my eyes out for months and had to take up a job as a waitress so i could afford this year's jamb reg fee.
I took jamb again and scored 212. All glory to God because I never prepared. I worked from 8am till 10pm and sometimes till 11pm. My boss then even turned me to a dish washer.
Salary was 20k. 20k that my dad can pay me monthly but he was okay with that.

Okay...
I'm broke and jobless now because I want to prepare well for my upcoming Uniben's post utme.
I asked him for just 2,500 to buy past question but this was his reply:
"2,500 for wetin? I nor get oo. E be like you go relax and try again next year or just wait make you mature then you marry".

I shouted at him until I lost my voice, I cried and I'm like God why??

I'm just an eighteen years old female child who would be turning nineteen in Five months time.
I'm a little girl with the brains of a wise old man.
I'm a counselor, motivational speaker, inspirational writer and an upcoming writer.
Nobody knows me as "Girlee"; not even me. I know that's stupid. I just had to come up with this "Girlee" I really don't fancy.
For some reasons I still can't decipher, I couldn't create an account here with my actual "social media" name (still my real name though).
I've counselled the married, singles and those in courtship. I've motivated so many and inspired a whole lot on the planet and things turned out great for them. But the thing is: who will and can counsel the counselor?

Tonight, I'm broken as I've never been before.
I've sat for jamb thrice now and in all, I scored above 200.
Why didn't I gain admission?

Continuation...

Lukepeter:
I just don't understand why this girl is getting so much hate from majority of nairaland users, it's pathetic to say the least.

Their provocation is unprovoked. And their reasons for the provocation? So unreasonable.

PoliteActivist:
You sure have been in the forum since 2007 - I checked. Kudos on being the very few that have managed to maintain a moniker that long.

But you're wrong. Don't know her at all. Am actually against the whole thing including Hilda, that's why am supporting her.
Nigerians ought direct their energies to useful things not stupidity

Common sense they say, isn't common.
You've got something very uncommon 🙌...
You're celebrated here!

vowiski:
Records are met to be broken , but not this wayward way..

We love to celebrate nonsense.. Envious and bitter souls everywhere..

Do you think there were no other India chef when the record was broken? Give people some breathing space …

It’s so irritating and disgusting in Nigeria. One person does something , another person goes immediately to do the same thing to prove a useless point …

Nobody is selling corn in a street , once someone start , everyone will no remember they know how to sell corn .. what a disgusting demonic character, Abeg abeg

Nobody is interested in her crappy attempt to become relevant.

You've refused to see reasons...
After breaking this record, her testimony might be this: After finishing from the culinary school and became a certified chef, I opened a restaurant or an Eatery but I had just few customers. Months after, the business folded up. Since then, I've been thinking of what I can possibly do to gain the exposure that I need for good marketing but none came to mind until I saw how Hilda attempted to break a cook-a-thon record and successfully did. Then I thought, I'm up next!. I got the motivation and inspiration from Hilda Baci and I dedicate this day to God almighty and Hilda Baci for showing me the light."

It's never a bad thing to make a good move and watch others follow. You'd be a child of the devil who's an enemy of anything good to see such and pick offence.

Hilda has been celebrated, congratulated and awarded. Why can't Chef Dammy become the next so soon? Did Guinness world record ever mention that "previous record holders should be given a minimum of one year break before other attempts can come in"?
Let the girl be! Please!

bencr7:
u self no they reason,it took Hilda more than 4 years to break d Indian woman record,Hilda own record never even reach one month,even they never even give her d certificate, another nigeria want to break d record.
Nigeria will be first country that will allow GBR cancel that cooking record.

Took her more than four years to discover something as: Cooking to break a world record.
And when she found out, she went ahead to break it.
Fact!!

She's lucky I don't have the resources plus I'm not a chef and a fan of the kitchen; if not, I'd have been one the line, working so hard to break that record.
I see no reason why Guinness world record would cancel this thing. They're well informed that "records are meant to be broken". It's a competition abi na challenge. No breathing space for nobody. You can? Go for it ASAP!!!!

Ikillbrokehoes:
Didn't Hilda Bassey copy someone too? it's an open competing, let's everyone compete.

Exactly! I wonder why some are just typing without proper thinking. Mhen it's crazy!
🙌🙌

vowiski:
Shameless deplorable lot.

Low budget Guinness record trial

Laboring in Vain

This kind of lady can sleep with her best friend husband , just to prove a point ..

A disgusting bitter soul

Who's doing you bros?
Let the girl be! After all, I guess if Hilda Baci hadn't discovered that someone held a record as "cooking for the longest hour", she wouldn't have attempted to break it.
Records are meant to be broken, every second, every minute or year! It doesn't matter.

You're the disgusting bitter soul here because I've been reading "hateful" comments but yours is something else.
I guess you weren't brought up with love, yuck!

The girl's using what she has. I'm sure she got no support from "the big boys" that's why her kitchen isn't looking all glittering and glamorous.
I'm proud of her!

Treassured:
First of all, I'm a very open minded person.

In as much as there will always be exceptions.

I'm boldly telling you that Altruist Cheerful Givers are extremely FEW in a nation like Nigeria.

It's an Open Secret that Most Men would always prefer to help the feminine than the masculine.

This Particular Issue need not dragged.

Naah! I won't drag this. I'd respect your opinion

Treassured:
Yet this same guy, if his fellow man who is in distress needs his utmost assistance.

He will probably turned the request down with all sort of cooked up stories and excuses lol. But look at we have here. He sent 50k to a stranger he has never and won't probably meet. So If someone can dash me 50k just like that without asking, What if i now asked and ready to advance things with him😂

Is anyone still wondering where the Self-Entitlement emanated from.

Like I usually say. All of you go dey Alright😂

He gave without expecting anything in return. I can't even remember the last time we spoke...
You shouldn't think "Good Samaritans" have all gone into extinction.
Some people are just benevolent in nature and would give assistance to anyone, no matter the gender.


It would be absurd if you think that Self-Entitlement emanated from cheerful givers.
Self-Entitlement: that's just the mentality some people possess👌😒.

makeherscream:
words from a senseless fellow

How can you even tell 🤔?

makeherscream:
Nigerians and stupidity ehnnnn I just dey laugh sha

Are you in any way from France or the United States?

I don't just get it. What did Nigerians do to you? Mhen! I don't know what you've been through but I don't take you as mature.

It's either you use "Nigerian girls ehnn" or "Nigerians" and whatever you please to call us.
Shuu! I'd advise you try South African girls then 😂

Just focus on helping your family with the bills until you're ready for a proper relationship.
I wonder what you both do in that relationship. I'm sure you both won't end as married couples. You're not ready!

makeherscream:
Good afternoon my fellow nairalanders I greet you all ,

my girlfriend who is still an apprentice bought a new phone yesterday , I was surprised when she came to my house yesterday holding the new phone on her hand ,

When I ask her how and where she get money to buy the phone , she said she have been saving money since January to buy the phone, am wondering where she get all the money she has been saving ever since from ,🤔

because she's just an apprentice she's not earning salary or is it the little 5k ,10k 15k that I'm giving her she was saving or is it what am thinking?🤔 I just hope is not what I am thinking 🙁 hmmmmm Nigerian girls will not kill me ,

She lost her phone last year November I promise her I will get her a new phone that she should be patient,

and have been planning to surprise her with a new phone on her birthday , her birthday is just few weeks from now June 20 ,

Nairalanders how una see this matter

😂😂 Bros she's just your girlfriend. I thought guys appreciates independent ladies🤔
Besides, you didn't mention that she's an orphan or the only child of a poor couple and hence, you're all that she's got. Her older sibling must have supported her in the phone purchase (that's if she has any 🤷) or maybe her parents did.
You were expecting her to wait for you? After all the months that have passed?
What does being an apprentice make her? Come on! Anyone could have offered to buy her a new phone and that's nothing you should fret about.
Insecurity everywhere 😒...

"Nigerian girls will not kill me" - what are you implying? That they're all like your girlfriend. Mhen! Your girlfriend, obviously isn't guilty of anything. People have their ways and don't always think it's an illegal way. Whichever means through which she got the phone shouldn't bother you as long as you're both still together.

Wildlifecalling:
Geez, sorry about that and for my disappearance. Did you at least find out to whom Jace was sold out to? If you're sure that they'd take care of him then you should be happy he's with good people. Though what your mother did was wrong, selling him off like that without you guy's approval. My advice is to just wait a bit, get a paying job and when you're sure you're ready, adopt another puppy. If you could move out of your parents house even better, if not try and convince them them to let you keep the dog. Once again sorry for everything, you'd come back from this better and stronger

Yeah! I saw jace two months ago and he was playing with another puppy.
Although he didn't notice me but I was glad that I saw him. I guess that was all I needed to stop worrying about his wellbeing.
He was obviously doing well and I'm happy.

My mum said his owners are giving him proper treatment. She knows because she's a friend to the woman she sold Jace to. She said they don't feed him with human foods but "dogfood".
I appreciate y'all for minding this thread. My depression is gone!

Girlee:
For many years now, I've noticed a culture that is practiced by quite a number of people and I find it abnormal.
I'll be throwing a question to the house to see if any one has an idea regarding why the culture is being practiced.
1. Having a good bathroom in the house, why do people prefer brushing outside, in the open?
2. Why do some men, forbid sharing buckets and toilet with a woman?

Are these practices traditional? If yes, what do they really mean? And how were they originated?


I've being a Nairaland guest for 5 years and I'm finally a registered member. So, I'd appreciate that this being my first post will produce reasonable comments only.

Thanks.

I finally got an answer.
Recently, we had new tenants and about four of them don't brush inside the house but prefer bushing outside. I just couldn't help but ask one of them, a female about why they are like that. And her reply was this:
"We grew up in the village and in the village, toilets and bathrooms are built far from the house. Sometimes, most people don't build any at all. We would usually bathe in the tiny bathroom and brush outside the compound. It's now a part of us so, you may want to call it 'old-habit'..."

elkharpone:
Ordinary deworming pill you cannot buy, or medicated dog shampoo to bathe the dog with, now I understand what they meant by “No bad dogs, just Bad owners”
Where do you keep the dog? How often do you bathe the dog? Did you vaccinate the Dog?

Bad owners indeed.
The thing is that I wouldn't get a dog if I don't have what it takes to keep it healthy. We had no idea my dad was bringing in a dog that day.
And we were happy that he bought it himself which meant that he would take responsibility of its needs. We had no idea he would join force with my mum in hating Jace.


Yeah! Common deworming pills I couldn't buy. Shame on me...

Thanks.

[quote author=Wildlifecalling post=121758812]I went job hunting today with my twin and when we returned, My mum and Jace were nowhere to be seen.
At once, I knew she's done what she had always wanted to do. She came back few minutes later and told us that she has sold Jace off.

My twin and I have been seriously depressed since morning. I know it's all for the good of the dog.
According to her, the buyer has promised to treat and take good care of Jace.
In this matter, my twin and I are helpless so we just have to accept the fact that Jace is no longer ours.



Ps: I appreciate your wise words of advice. I'm grateful.

Hi everyone!
I'm going to be needing a few advise concerning Jace, my puppy.
My dad brought Jace in, on the 24th December, last year as a surprise present (something like that).
Everyone including my mum (she forbids dogs) fell in love with Jace at first sight.

The problem:
Jace should be about 5 months old now and since he was born, has been feeding on human food which sometimes causes him to throw up.
While bathing him one day, we discovered that Jace has been infested (don't know if that's the word) with lice.
For a moment, I hated Jace and wanted to get rid of him but the hatred was just for a moment. My twin and I love Jace and treat him like he's a human baby.
We told our mum about it and she suddenly grew intense hatred for Jace that she'd just go and hit him whenever she gets the chance.
My twin and I also called and informed our dad about Jace's condition and that Jace needs urgent healthcare but he didn't mind us.
Jace has been obviously suffering and we've been helping him pick some lice out but still it's not really helping.
Sometimes, Jace's poos are filled with worms. This got us to start asking questions and we were told that he needed to be dewormed.
My twin and I are broke but my dad who isn't, doesn't want to help.

Today, we noticed some tiny black moving stuffs falling from his body and discovered they were nits abi upcoming lice.
We informed our mum but she could only suggest that we get rid of Jace by selling him.

Honestly, this isn't the first time my mum is bringing that up and it has always ended in quarrel. My twin and i have been trying to consider selling him off but it's hard!😩 We love Jace. We've bonded with him so much and it's hard to see him go.
Sometimes Jace starves because he can't eat some of our foods.

I really have few options and I'm willing to try anything just to make Jace happy and well.
Pet owners and vets, what would you suggest in this matter?
I doubt if Jace would be properly taken care of by this woman my mum speaks of. (My mum told a woman about Jace and this woman is interested in buying Jace. My twin and her didn't allow her but she wouldn't give up).
Would Jace find it easy to cope in his new environment and with his new owners if he gets sold out?
Would Jace die soon if we don't treat him ?

I can see it in Jace's eyes that: he's loyal, he loves us, he always wants to impress us, he understands us and would keep his cool even when he's obviously starving.

Ps: I'm sorry if this seems too lengthy 😔, thanks for reading

As christians, we are mighty men and that's why God is the "Almighty".
He is Mighty over mighty men...

Thanks a lot
Faith in God is what I have now
I even plan on attending cele

It's not actually about the church. It's your faith that counts.
I pray you don't run into a congratulation of the dead.
All the best dear!
