Slytiger: The only people that got suspended are those 3 coupist countries. Other democratically elected president should not and cannot be sitting down with and encouraging coupists. We are not in the 1960s Africa. Well they said they are no longer interested in your ECOWAS anymore. You seem to forget that it is a voluntary association. If the citizens of a country decide that they are fine with military rule bacause the civilian thieves in agbada have failed them why is ECOWAS insisting that they must go back to a failed system? |

Coolestguy2023: I wonder how you people think. How did Tinubu singlehandedly took any of the steps he took? Does it work that way? All the actions he took was a collective decision by all Ecowas member States. But has the Chairman, he is to announce such decisions to the general public. Is that too have for you people to know and understand The buck stops at his table. If member states take decision to ban Nigerians from their countries will tinubu happily announce it? A leader should be circumspect and tactful. I hope Tinubu and those defending his careless statements will learn |

Gerrard59: Are those Orthodox churches? How are their worship services and mode of practice? Pentecostals consider them orthodox because of their mode of worship. They sing, dance, preach, teach just like a normal church. They believe in the holy spirit/baptism and you can speak in tongues in your private prayer but if you speak in tongue to the congregation there must be an interpreter. Their doctrine is pretty much straight forward and less complicated. I enjoyed every bit of my time worshipping I'm ECWA |

Coolestguy2023: IPOB miscreants and Obi supporters say Ecowas should not invade those countries to restore democracy. Now they are crying again and blaming Tinubu for allowing military to take over those countries and there subsequent exit from Ecowas. Wait, is it that some people have permanently lost there sense of logical reasoning? Tinubu took a wrong step by threatening them with military action. Tinubu keep making mistakes trying to assert authority he does not have. Nigeria and ECOWAS are not Lagos state where his word is the last command. Now ECOWAS is disintegrating under his watch. Does this make ECOWAS stronger or weaker? A leader should act with tact and wisdom |

Rach310: It's really saddening that churches now are not focused on the true work of God,they have really made a lot backslide,I never thought there would be a day it will be this difficult to find a church to worship cause all of them looks the same,going to church now is just for going sake because everyone is working for his or her own pocket,its such a pity,may God help us cause christianity is drifting away from what its supposed to be and these pastors are not helping salvage it,what a pity.The little that these instrumentalist and singers will use to hold body even in this hard time is what you want to take away. I respect you Sir but this is a no for me. You captured my exact sentiments. Sometimes it's very discouraging when you realize that most people who call themselves pastors are just out to build an empire for themselves and their families and nothing more. The way that money is managed in churches are so opaque unlike old orthodox churches back in the day that will announce every dime the church collects and give account of every penny that is spent and the church account balance with a printed copy handed to church members. I've seen this done in ECWA/COCIN church when I was in the north. Nobody pressures you about tithe/offering/first fruit etc. A welfare department exist and is funded from church money. I hope those churches still practice these things though. Pentecostals came with this "pastor knows the best and cannot be questioned" mentality and the rest is history |

mrrandomguy: Good development. In fact a ban on "nylon bags" should follow ASAP.
What irritates me is the ignorance of so called educated Nigerians and some Nairalanders who happens to be among the dumbest set of people on the planet. Styrofoam and plastic/nylon bags have nothing to do with global warming. I see people mixing up soil and water pollution with the scam called "global warming". They are not the same.
Global warming is an illusion created and promoted by a group of billionaires to gain more power and control over society.
What we should be concerned about as environmentalists is land, soil, air and water pollution, not "Global warming" which does not exist. Thank you for stating this. Everybody seem to be blinded by the global warming hoax. People do not think or research anymore |
Family › Re: Getting Married And Living In Your Parents House. What Is Wrong About It by Iamzik: 8:11am On Jan 26, 2024 |
JessicaRabbit: Financial reasons for living with your parents after marriage are perfectly valid. However, painting it solely in this light risks overlooking the potential emotional tapestry woven into the decision. Perhaps you just cherish the closeness, enjoy the free babysitting (ahem, grandparental bonding), or simply revel in the delicious aroma of your mother's legendary pepper soup wafting through the halls. Love, convenience, and tradition all play on life's stage, not just the cold, hard cash.
Your post also implies that parental disapproval lurks beneath the surface, even if unseen. But is that truly the case? Open communication, not assumptions, is the key to unlocking understanding. Perhaps your parents, wise souls they are, recognize your current situation and offer their support, financial or otherwise, with open arms (and maybe an extra plate of pepper soup). Every individual experiences situations differently, and what constitutes "fine" for one might be a recipe for disaster for another. Introspection and honest conversations with your loved ones are your guiding lights here.
Now, to your final inquiry: my response stems from a potent blend of experience, observation, and a healthy dose of philosophical musing. Having witnessed countless relationships navigate the complexities of living arrangements, I've gleaned valuable insights. But ultimately, my role here is not to dictate but to illuminate, to offer perspectives and challenge assumptions. The tapestry of your life is yours to weave, and the decision of where to lay your head rests with you and your partner. 👏👏 |
Family › Re: Getting Married And Living In Your Parents House. What Is Wrong About It by Iamzik: 7:54am On Jan 26, 2024 |
JessicaRabbit: Let me unravel this societal yarn for you. If your parents have a sprawling palace, and you've got a flourishing career nearby, who says you need to flee the nest like a startled pigeon?
Living with your parents doesn't equate to failure; it's a choice, a practical one at that. If the cohabitation vibes are harmonious, and everyone's doing the cha-cha of happiness, why disrupt the rhythm?
Marriage isn't a swift exit strategy from the parental abode; it's a union built on love 💑, respect, and occasionally stealing the TV remote. So, to those wielding judgment like a bludgeon, I say, let people nest where the heart is content, not where society dictates. After all, a house 🏡 is not a home if it's not filled with love, whether it's your own or your parents' overflowing embrace. I like how you write... nice and fluid |

DrFunmisticGlow: Simple. Women want to have children without the wahala of MEN. Do you know how difficult it is to live with the average nigerian man? Firstly, A woman life is in danger when she encounters🍆, and everything 🍆 brings.
The average nigerian man cannot look after himself and need s a woman to do so for him. He is dirty and messy.. He has the potential to be physically abusive, unfaithful, small minded with a big and fragile ego. and the most annoying thing is she now has to be subservient to him in the institution called marriage. Her major benefit is that he foots the bills which isn't so much of an advantage today.
Now if she is offered the deal to have a child that is biologically hers without all the stress outlined above, and a stipend to boot? It is hard for some caliber of ladies to resist such temptation. Man don show this one shege Men una Wicked sha |

naturalman: Nonsense question.
People who doesn't drink are mostly prone to depression and anxiety.... The truth is that people who does not drink are very rude, wicked and brutal, they always harbour anger, they are so sensitive to everything and most women don't like them because they are too serious and funless.
Another thing about people who doesn't drink is that they womanize a lot, they are womanizers and gossip alot. They can dash women all their money...
You now ask the question, what makes this people happy?.... nothing....they are into pure gambling or womanizers..
Pure truth You still no answer the question What are the benefits of drinking alcohol? |

anonymous1759: Putin has seen some bit of NATO In Ukraine that’s why he’s testing the USA, only a few countries in NATO will foolishly fight with USA if anything happens , Hungary will be the first to opt out , same with Turkey , Germany might not fight too , only uk , Israel , Canada will fight with USA if anything Happens. This Ukraine war really exposed them .
I try to avoid banters with NL supporters club who don’t read more than one news outlets other than western media, for someone to say Russia is struggling with Ukraine when it’s evident NATO is the one fighting it’s a pure joke , Russia has been victorious to far , they’ve Annexed more territory, stopped Ukraine from joining NATO, plus their economy has not collapsed but European nations ain’t finding it funny . If trump wins its game over for Ukraine but Putin will not proceed with the Alaska show until trump is out both men get along . Trump will trade Alaska peace deal for Ukraine zinoleski will regret at the end , it’s always good to pick your fights. Giving room for Russia’s attack is pure foolishness,
Some people feels because Russia is it bombing Ukraine indiscriminately like Israel is doing with Palestine means they’re not winning , I wonder how people reason . What the media said about the ghost of Kiev it’s a child’s play to what Israel is doing to Palestine . Good luck to all of them before visa crew people will start barking.

Religion will end us all in Africa, most especially Nigeria... God can choose for you and you will use your own have to spoil it. When it comes to marriage nothing is guaranteed. People change...even those that are like angels. It takes sacrifice and common sense, accountability and perseverance.

The bolded is very correct. By the way, if it was the woman that cheated how come you didn't get custody? Don't count on those children. No be every pikin dey get sense these days
Marry another woman, have your own child that will grow up under your roof. Women are very manipulative. There is no guarantee that those two children will acknowledge you when they grow up |

Killbill09: Let me tell you something, Israel itself will not know peace as long as this drags on. West Bank has been under occupation for how many years now, and yet there is still a huge resistance going on. Israel created a monster, and they will never be able to contain this even if Gaza is razed to the ground. I wonder as well.
Yes, over 25,000 casualties, mostly children and innocents, while trying as much as possible to avoid close combat with Hamas but calling for drone and aviation strikes. lol
It baffles me how shameless you guys are not to be embarrassed by how slippers-wearing freedom fighters are dragging it with your almight Israel with access to all technology, satellites, and funds from the world
I am sure you lac,keys will be willing to open your mouths to have a poor Israeli kid shit since they are God's people and you and your people are devil's people lol  Israel has not known peace either.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Irgc Intelligence Chief In Syria, Deputy Killed In Israeli Strike. by Iamzik: 4:47pm On Jan 20, 2024 |
Killbill09: It's the opposite. As each day passes, Israel is losing soldiers and equipments in Gaza to freedom fighters wielding Iranian weapons. Not to mention their damaged reputation, which is going to be their outlook forever.
Israel has lost over 600 soldiers, including top officers in Gaza (since October 7th), without rescuing a single hostage but killed three with their own hands. 
Now, what do you call that?!!
----
My take? Israel is in desperation at the moment, they are feeling the hit, Iran should expect some dangerous moves and be ready to respond in kind using the long game (which is working perfectly). Let me break it down for you. Israel's goal is not to rescue the hostages. They will not say it out loud but those hostages have been written off as collateral damage. The goal of Israel is to exterminate Hamas and they will not back down, not even at the suggestion of Joe Biden who is facing reelection. Israel is prepared to drag this for as long as it takes. And remember that Israel is a nuclear power as well and they are not afraid to use it. Iranians like trouble but they are not suicidal to throw the first bomb at Israel. It will be bloody for the mullahs |

seunmsg: Part of what? Who are the them? What's my business with this thread? Una no go gree make person rest for this forum ni? You need to address the bias against Christians on nairaland. Muslims write disrespectful comments on Christian threads because they are not required to swear that Jesus is the son of God before writing comments. Why are comments restricted on Islamic/Muslim threads until you swear to Allah while you leave Christian threads open to Muslims to comment without stamping John 3:16 on their profile? If you aspire to grow this platform beyond what it is currently then you cannot turn a blind eye to many complaints of religious bias on Nairaland. I don't know your religious beliefs but the bias is very obvious and pretending it doesn't matter will not help your organization. It's time to do something about this! Either remove the restrictions on Muslim threads or paste John 3:16 permanently on the profile of anyone commenting on a Christian thread |
