Hmmmm

With the amount of praises and worship this God dey chop per day in Nigeria only, excluding the ones offered by billions of his angels per second....

He must be a very fat man now.

In fact, there are many ways in which Christianity has been 'Africanize'.

Some pentecostal churches give some people what they call assignment, which involves certain absurd, diabolic activities not found in the Bible.

They'll tell you to buy biscuits and groundnut, pray over it and scatter them on the floor overnight.
Put salt in water, pray over it and drink with your family.
Some even buy olive oil to pour while praying, which is the same as a traditionalist pouring libation while doing his incantation.

Very soon, they'll go back to slaughtering goats and chickens to appease their God.

Africans will always be Africans.

[color=#2ecc71]That's really disgusting advice
Is that what you would do 2 a woman who denyed you? [/color]

Erm.. But really, in what ways do ladies contribute to a relationship?

People be going to the future to manufacture phones. Hope it wouldn't end up exploding like the S7.

My own I just need a laptop with a good battery... I'm tired of all these television series...

Ishilove:
Especially the local goverments. The LG's are completely and utterly useless. Theirs is just collect money and eat without doing in anything. If I had my way i'll scrap local governments because they are useless. Completely hopeless and useless

Scrapping the local government will put too much load on the other two tiers of government. All they need is empowerment. The local government seem useless because the state government doesn't allow them to enjoy the level of autonomy needed for development.
Imagine the state and local government are operating a shared account, whereby the monies allocated to them are controlled by the state government and some meagre amount are disbursed to them which is not even enough to pay salaries.

Doctors will work all day and night. But when they succeed....

God will take all the praises.
Pastor will take all the gifts.

Daddy.

That word summarizes the love, the affection and the mutual connection between me and my biological father.

To me it's more than just a title, hence I can't share it with anyone.

Most of you telling this dude to snitch on his friend doesn't understand the bond that exist between friendship, that makes people want to protect and defend their friends at all cost.

I bet none of you would've taken the same step suggested by you. Of course it's easy to throw judgements around without trying to understand the OP's point of view. The truth is you won't understand and can never understand, since you're not and have never been in his shoes.

For opening this thread in the first place shows that the OP is hurt by the act, just like everyone of us. But for the loyalty that exist between them, he can't possibly tell on his friend, hence, this is the only avenue he can dust his mind and free his conscience....

I'm tired of all these rape stories.
If you've been going out with someone but don't trust him, please don't go to his house. That's just common sense.

My cousin once told me when a girl agrees to come to your house, she's already made up her mind for the inevitable.
I guess she must have weighed all the consequences but still threw caution to the wind.

Now that this have occurred, everyone is on the guy's jugular. Leaving the girl to play the victim.

Love is more than just a chemical reaction o


Its psychological and...

Erm... Erm

Spiritual

I don't trust choppers, a contraption that is supported on air by just some rotor blades...

I rather trek than board that shii

daamazing:
but extreme engineering is shown on discovery family (world) and not Sony max?

Oh... That was a mistake.

Thanks.

When dad was going through my phone once, my only fear was the numerous pics I snapped with girls.

You know I actually look so innocent in real life that you'd swear I know nothing about the opposite sex.

And I enjoy being that way.

I don't even know where I'll propose to my babe...
Maybe while straffing

Na joke

Watch the documentary in EXTREME ENGINEERING on Discovery Channel some months ago.

It was amazing.

Lie!!!
One story in the Bible said that when Satan visited HeavenlyBet, God struck a wager with him over Job.

God: (eyes sparkling with excitement) Luciferous, Have you seen this game, his name is Job. I bet you he wouldn't fail me.

Satan: (laughs hysterically) Are you sure? Maybe you've forgotten my history so soon.

God: (visibly annoyed) Wanna bet?

Satan: (glanced through the heavenly window for some moments to watch Job inspecting his large farmlands, while tapping the golden frames of the heavenly window thoughtfully) Alright, I'm in!

You know the rest...

Moral lessons :

If gambling was so bad, God wouldn't have gotten involved.

Remember everything he does is good

So be it.

i thought you were up for a debate?

Anyway, in matters of outstanding, Einstein wins again. You should see The math involved in relativity. 90% of the world's population cannot understand it. You should study it. The punchline is crazy brilliant.

Meanwhile Edison's inventions are pretty straightforward. And even then, he stole most of those ideas.

On electricity, Edison almost ruined the world by insisting on DC current as opposed to the better AC.

Thank God no one listened.

LOL.
No debate yet, I'm still studying you.

But I'd love to beat you someday

And the man is yet to pay my aunt's gratuity.


The thunder that will fire this dumb Udom is equipped with pestle, mortar and sledge hammer.

Teempakguy:
the theory.

Think of the universe as a big machine with a hidden manual. Throughout human history, we have strived to reveal snippets of this great manual in form of theories.

Theories tell I'd what we can do. What we cannot do. How our world behaves and how we can shape it. It's easy to go out and do stuff when you already know what is possible.
350+ years ago, Newton stated three laws. Today, our entire world is based on those laws.

------

Besides, the question is not about which is harder. It asks who contributed most to the world.

Almost everything Edison made has been replaced by new technology. And guess what, those technologies are based on what Einstein did.


Edison would have won if the question was: who contributed to the world the most DURING their lifetime? [/quote
DURING their lifetime?

I asked which is more outstanding, not which is harder. And I asked because it seems Edison was more of a technologist than a theorist.

To the best of my knowledge, laws guiding a particular phenomena have always been there, it's just left for a curious, inquisitive mind to discover it by paying special attention to patterns and details.

Newton discovered gravity didn't mean gravity didn't exist until then. 


Therefore theories are just insight into the mechanism of a phenomenon, which sometimes are not 100% correct until you try to apply them, that's when you discover the errors and hence modify the theories.


Application involves more brainwork, as it entails testing and pulling together of related resources. Which sometimes takes years of dedication, testing and modifications.

Anyone can be a theorist, but same can't be said of technologists.

But I'm not supporting anyone per se, the theorist and technologists both work in tandem for the common good.


This will make for a good debate.

Toks2008:
Moses had no clue perse but he just took it a step at a time.

Remember according to the Bible mythology, Moses was endowed with some magical abilities...

What magic does Bubu have?

If you're electing other people to intercede on your behalf, it means Jesus has failed in all ramifications.... What stops him from being IMPEACHED?

Teempakguy:
1000 patents on stolen ideas is nothing compared to 1 solid theory.

If we had to rely on Edison for communication, I'd be quoting you via telegram now.


Not THAT telegram.

Which is more outstanding.... The theory or its applications?

I think anyone with a good inquisitive mind can come up with many applaudable Hypothesis/theories. But the onus is in its applications cause that's when you'll test the true reality of such theories.
So let's give it up to Edison, it's not easy transforming abstract to substance.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND CATHOLICS AT ALL...
DO THEY HAVE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN HEAVEN

Now tithing is compulsory.... Just like paying school fees

The Pastor should rusticate those who doesn't pay up.
Do they think it's easy to brainwash people?

johnydon22:
hello my brother.. Long time it has been indeed. How are you?

I'm good bro. Just enjoying my holiday quietly.
How's Enugu? Hope you went to church?

Gpdwise:
I have been trying for the past three (3) hours now to explain the concept of God to my six year old half brother. who recently just returned from the states. I tried reading using the bible and he asked me the most difficult but simple question. Big brother where did God come from if you said there was nothing in world!! I dropped the bible immediately.

I tried using nature to explain that the beautiful flowers, birds and sea were created by God. Then he asked me who created God because mama bird and papa bird will have junior bird and for the flowers I need to plant its seed for them to grow.. so big brother who is papa God

You're trying to introduce the concept of God (good) to a six year old boy, which will also prompt the explanation of the concept of the devil (evil) to him.

Have you forgotten that in your Bible God warned the first man and woman against eating from the tree of (knowing) good and evil, in which they failed because Satan INTRODUCED the fruit to them?


You must be SATAN!

johnydon22:
This is incorrect - before the bible and christianity and islam we had our own beliefs and religion and God.

i think the swagger of Abrahamism makes jewish myths tastier to whole lot of simple minded shallow african minds.

Hello sir Johnny... Longest time

They're some fine brainy dudes that wants a lady who can match their own level of intelligence; engage in meaningful conversation and be able to stand an intellectual argument.

But most Naija girls are dumb. If you try to engage them in a conversation that'll make them think, they shy away and start feeling inferior around you.

Those type of girls they only have one thing to offer you.

And I usually wonder what else they can offer apart from....


The brainy ones are either not cute, not interested or already taken.

Now you get stuck with these ones that can offer you just one thing....

You can't just stop loving Christianity.... They are dynamic!

janellemonae:
Atheists really need to check their belief system and the reasons they hate the church so much.

Ive noticed that atheists, ecspecially these nigerian ones, NEVER criticize all these islamic killings or terrorism. They only run their mouths when its a christian topic or about a christian pastor. And when its a muslim topic, they find a way of still abusing Jesus Christ or the bible but NEVER the quaran or Mohammed.

Its kinda clear they are both (atheists & islamic terrorists) brainwashed by the same demons.

Atheists neither hate the church nor Christians.

We only hate the fact that as tamed and psychologicallly-balanced individuals, you guys have the potentials to explore every diameter of your thoughts, reasoning; to become a more rational beings, yet you allow religious ignorance and gullibility to hold you in bondage and strip you of every atom of sense. Therefore you become a 'walking' capital to some 'entrepreneurialistic religious leaders,' who have nothing to offer than the same Bible in your house.

And as concerned and enlightened individuals, we've only come to show our fellow tamed brothers the way...

But can you go to the wild to start reasoning with lions?

In the religious world, two things exists- God and Satan.
If you serve God, 'Satan' will be after you.
If you serve Satan, God's people will be after you...

What if you choose not to serve any?

Peace of mind!

Now why should I trade my peace of mind for anything?

As per praying for me to follow this dude.... You got prayers and you have a right to pray them... Keep praying bro
