lexy2014: if the former priest had done the above, of what effect is the suspension? Suspension is a disciplinary measure for erring Priest. He is still a Priest serving punishment. But if he had submitted the documents that would have began the process of his laicization and he would have been dispensed of his vows then he may go and marry freely. |

Jetland: It's not a Yoruba name, it is rather an Ebira name. In the olden days, our forefathers who were hunters usually see birds called Aja in Ebira language. I don't the name in English, but let me try and describe it. This particular bird usual flies in the night and usually on the road where people are passing. When it sees humans walking on the road, it would fly ahead and perch on the road waiting for them to move closer before it flies again. You can relate if you lived in the farm before.
Now back to the story. Our forefather usually see this bird Aja perching on the rock, and we call rock Ida and we call to perch "OOku". So, Ajaokuta means the bird Aja perchs on the rock. That was how Ajaokuta was named. I hope this helps. Lies. Ajaokuta belongs to igalaland. It means stone-market. Aja (matket), okuta (stone). That it was zoned to kogi central doesn't make it an Ebiraland. Go and learn history. |

Acidosis: It still depends on how you see it. There’s a new industry in town: content creation and lifestyle. Look at the likes of Chef T and Veekee James, who are already commercialising their lifestyles. Chef T has been "showing off" are new home and baby for weeks now online. Na we dey see “showoff,” they see “more bank alerts” from YouTube, TikTok, X, etc.
I think people should not box themselves in.
There are many people who prefer to stay low-key, whether they have something going on or not (I fall into this category), and that’s perfectly fine too but we can’t all be the same. Those ones are entertainers in various niches, using social media as their platform to express themselves. Data on social media is information (the currency of this age). Why giving out vital information about yourself for free when you are not earning from it. More importantly, I think everyone should know whether they stand to gain or lose something by the information one puts out there. |

Love800: Thanks. So the seminary certificate is a degree, right?
Is it after the philosophy they will award me? Or after doing philosophy and theology? Not certificate but certificates, two distinct degrees. If you decide to stop after your Philosophy, you can collect your certificate when it's ready. |

Love800: It was forced by parents. One cant challenge dem, because you are not the one paying the bills. No option but to fall in.
Regarding the initial question, is it possible pls? You will do two degrees. First, B.A., Philosophy. Most Seminary are affiliated to a University from where your degree is awarded. (4 years of study). If you stop here, you will need to find an area of specialisation to determine a career path. Second degree, B. A., Theology. This may have little use for you in the secular society. All the best. |

Love800: Pls after secondary school, and one goes to a major seminary and graduates from it, can he get other normal jobs in the society, if he doesn't want to be priest?
Is the certificate gotten from a seminary, a degree? It's people like you that go there and begin to create bad name for the system. What do you mean you were forced? Vocation is all about you and your God alone, so man-up and decide now in order to give your life a proper direction. But if you are looking for discernment within the system, that is another ballgame entirely and nothing is wrong with that. Don't begin to think of the opposite even before you start. Don't start if you have no desire for it at all. |
Family › Re: Family Issues After The Death Of My Husband. by Greenlandncom(m): 10:31am On Oct 07, 2024 |
Yinabim: Hello Everyone,
I am writing here for the first time, i don't know how to feel about this because i a very private person but since the death of my husband i had to wake up everyday to sadness. I never knew the extent of pain people feel when they lose their loved ones until now. I cant even concentrate on anything else and his family are making things difficult for themselves already.
I'm so young and with a 2 year old daughter, i just hope God help me scale through this storm. I'll come here to update this page as things unfold.
The story My husband is a very kind man, he is way older than I am because he was a divorcee , ultimately he loved God and was very prayerful, I’ve known him for over seven years but we got married 4years ago and legalized the marriage in 2022. He has 5 children plus my two years old makes 6, tbh my husband is a very wonderful man and I doubt if men like him still exist. He holds my hands in middle of the night praying for me and my baby, he loved me sincerely. He met me in 100level and waited till I finished school. Anyways after I had a baby he said he wanted me to go to Canada to further my studies. I didn’t want to go because I was thinking of how he would cope without me, he promised to come every quarter and assured me it was for the best.
I left Nigeria in 2023 (April) , his last visit was January 2024, he was preparing to come again in September, however, I got the news of his death July 17th 2024. My whole world came crashing. I didn’t believe it, why did God give me such a wonderful man only to take him away from me suddenly.
For clarity purpose, it’s important to state that he has six children including mine
First child (female) married and resides in Australia My husband told me that her mother (woman A) had walked out of the marriage because he was poor, saying “she wouldn’t sit down with him in poverty” . They never had a legal marriage. So Woman A left to marry another man.
Woman B, legally married him had four children (two males and two females), I didn’t hear her side of the story and out of respect for her, I’ll just say irreconcilable differences, he decided he couldn’t move on with her and he divorced her. He however left her in their matrimonial house and left her with the water factory which she was running, although he didn’t hand over the documents
I am woman C.
I came home for the funeral, but before I could make it home , Woman A’s daughter has gotten home, gone to my matrimonial home and cleared all documents.
Please note that , no one ever lived with my husband and I in the house apart from my younger brother, Woman A daughter has also never visited the house.
My husband was into properties and he has two schools also (primary and secondary in different locations) . Durning my stay in Nigeria, Woman A’s daughter (lady A) has conducted herself like a kind person , although I saw red flags but in my state of grief I didn’t think much about them, from Fighting for my husband’s phones , to taking away his SUV, changing security guards at the gate etc. I honestly didn’t see her as a greedy person.
I came back to Canada that same week, she already brought in some lawyers who will handle letter of Administration and help oversee estate matters. Myself and all the children were on the same page till lady A said she wanted to be the sole signatory to the schools account.
I disagreed and suggested that three of us (myself, Lady A and one of woman B children) should sign concurrently alongside on all transactions.
Lady A was so adamant about the signatory issue that she started to throw shades and subtle insults , I stood my ground and it took her lawyer’s intervention before she agreed. Since then I have become lady As enemy.
Guess what? Lady A in recent development had instructed the security that no one should enter into my matrimonial home without her permission, I sent my brother there on two occasions and he was denied access, I can’t imagine seeking the permission of lady A who is in Australia in her husbands house before entering my own husbands house, a place she has never lived in or visited!! I don’t want this to lead to legal suits here and there, but these people are not so gentle and peaceful, I paid my dues in that house it was uncompleted when I married my husband and I contributed in my own way. I am not greedy and I’m willing to meet everyone in middle but Nigerians are so terrible, she is in Australia and she knows no one can do these nonsense abroad but they take advantage of gentility. Search for Due Process Advocate (DPA) on Facebook and table your issue to them. They can help out. All the best. |

amtheone: The engine of my Honda Accord 2011 vibrates seriously once I turn on the AC, especially in traffic and the gear is in DRIVE MODE.
The first mechanic suggested that (vacum) should be introduced and a technician was called to do that but still no result.
I took it again to another mechanic, he suggested that I should change the AC compressor to electronic type. According him, the one present is manual type. I have not change it yet.
Please what do you think could be the solution. Thank you. Also check that the compressor is well fixed and fasten to its position. That could solve it. |

Supreme145: Throughout my over three decades on earth I've been faced with several challenges but I'm at my lowest ebb right now. After losing around 1.3m to dubious Chinese Vendors I'm at a total loss as at how to forge ahead at this moment.
I've reached out to a couple of friends and told them about my predicament but all they showed was a total lack of empathy. I've begged my childhood friend who does mining stuff with some Chinese men and had shown me evidence of him controlling contracts of over 30m to take me under his wing but he refused, I offered to even work as a labourer and dig or become his PA to no avail. He would rather show me pictures of his cars and duplex, he prefers to give me handouts once in a while.
My condition right now is critical, I'm riddled with debts with rent already over due and at the risk of being thrown to the streets. I want someone to point me in the right direction please. I'm a graduate of Statistics/Computer Sci education but I haven't been able to access my result because I have clearance to sort out in school.
I'm looking for skills that I can learn within a short period of time in order to be able to escape the clutches of poverty. I have a dusty antiquated dell laptop with a dead battery and a non functional keyboard which I can manage. I see lots of young guys progressing around me and I feel so left behind. I'm now battling acute insomnia due to depression and overthinking.
I'm thinking of video editing due to the surge in content creation or Microsoft office suite. I've also thought about opening a Facebook page and up loading videos but it takes time to grow. I need something that can give me an income as soon as possible. I have average skills in content writing, WordPress web design and graphic designs. Please I would really appreciate your inputs because it might save a soul. Digital marketing. |

Mandate1: she was actually dead but not gone completely. The Jews believe that when one dies, the spirit of that person would be hovering around for 3 days. After 3 days, the person is gone forever. That's why the raising of Lazarus to life by Jesus Christ, shocked them because Lazarus was raised on the 4th day. |

LOOBE: Lawmakers should have amended the act that established NUC to form a commission that will oversee the affairs of Universities, Polytechnics and colleges of Education. Then all colleges of education should be converted to universities of education, instead of waiting poeple's time using 3years to study in college of education and another 3years for degree program making 6years. Then ensure that no universities should be allowed to run educational courses except universities of education,this will surely eradicate dichotomy of certificates among graduates from various institutions in Nigeria Good point. Or colleges of education courses are converted to a two-year program with the opportunity for those who wish to further their education to continue from third year in the University. The truth of the matter is that these so called leaders do not care. |

blowjohn: the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.
And the Bible says we should worship in truth and spirit
What does one show others when he or she bows to an image? This is a very wrong understanding what worship means in Christianity. Is it not possible that there are people that you have great feeling of reverence for and even bow for them as a mark of respect? Do they automatically become your object of worship? In Christianity, worship is the act of attributing reverent honour and homage to God. Note that you must first recognise that object whom you turn your reverence, adoration or whatever act you perform as the ultimate end in your life, hence what we call God. And note that you cannot have two ultimate ends at once, hence you cannot have two Gods at once. What God actually forbids is worshipping something or someone else other than himself. Also note that worship entails obedience. Who you obey above all reveals in truth whom you actually worship. That is the real meaning of worshipping God in spirit and in truth. A lot of Christians have replaced God with the idols (Pastors and Spiritual directors) in their lives and have even elevated them above God unconsciously. That is idol worship and these are what Exodus 20 :4-5 and further explained in verse 22. seeks to prohibit. Finally, note that no Catholic ever turns to any image as an object of worship but as AID for worship and reminders of the many events of our faith. No less than the ark of the covenant was to the people of Israel of old - A representation of God's journey with his people that he can chose to operate through. Peace! |

Not the heaven , the sky, the clouds above you. Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah. Heavens in steps! Don't you want to live there?, maybe you don't really know much about it and you joined the badmouthed, hey 👋, there are heavens..... and the invitation are sent out.... Know the difference. Heaven is the dwelling place of God - a spiritual place. Heavens is cosmological, it's physical and material reality. So you can refer to all the planetary bodies above the earth as heavens. |
