As long as s/he is healthy what gives?
For very silly reasons,I prefer an all boys affair though.

A man called the police to report a crime,

Man: Someone must have broke into my car and stole the car radio, clutch pedal, brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, in short they took away the complete dashboard.
Police: We will be with you ASAP.

when the police anti-crime squad eventually got to him they discovered the man was dead drunk and sitting at the back seat.

Boy or Girl, They are more valuable than Gold. I will thank God for the fruit of life.

You can't. Once a cheater, always a cheater!

Where since people change for good, may be there may be a common ground for resolution if that may work. Never say never.

A word should be enough for the wise.

Miss_Ife:
Though I would have been happy with a boy too, I was really glad my first child was a girl. For many personal reasons :
- nowadays, a girl can achieve about as much as a man, in terms of career, independence etc.
- having mainly women/girls around me, I figured it would be easier for me to raise a girl, since I can understand her, and that she'll also be a help when she grows up
- and on top of everything else, I could only imagine myself having "girls time" with my daughter : spending time doing her hair, watching princess cartoons, playing with her dolls, teaching her how to cook and so on. I really anticipated a perfect mother/daughter relationship and til date I have not been disappointed

Na wa o, but if it is to be a Son to mother affair won't you be able to draw a parallel with you playing football with him?

Nice contribution I must say.

How do one tame a cheating husband or wife that refuse to let go infidelity?

Each time we have a chat about the preferred sex of our baby to be my wife is always first to jump up and say "though i need a baby Girl but will prefer to have a boy because of the respect they command in the society.

I always remain unbiased but i have seen and read a lot about what some prefer to be the mega anticipated sex of their baby. does being a girl or lady make her unpopular or likely to fail later in life?.

I'm of the take that either girl or boy proper upbringing is the underlying factor to concentrate on.

Lets have more view on this topic please.

God2man:
There are various factors that influenced answer to prayers.
Sin, unforgivenness, lack of faith, when you are inconstistent in the things of God. Wrong prayers, lack of patient, curses and evil convenants, evil foundations, when you are very stingy in relation to tithe and offerings, and so on.
The bottom line is there is an appointed time for all answers to prayers. Wait. God's time may be slow, but it will surely come to pass. Besides, do not compare yourself to other christians that have already got their testimonies, you need to ask God to speak to you in the language you will understand. God bless you. God2man.

1. The Lord said if He is to mark inequity who can stand? I reckon none is holy except by grace.
2. Evil convenants/Foundation, Most people are dedicated to the gods their linage aligned with years back and it has been pronounced that if the gods (IFA/Shango/Orunmila) can bless a particular family with a child that the child will for ever be faithful to that god(s), but things have changed and the child is of a different religion unfortunately the gods are now busy claiming ownership of the said person's glory.

There is more to it than we think but i must mention that is a great contribution from God2Man

Have you wondered about instances whereby praying for a turnaround or believing God for something attracts different manifestation span, Some people get answers to their prayers in dispatch while some are delayed.

Can we use these forum to shed more lights on factors that support or hinders manifestation of prayer.

Me: God, can I ask You a question?
God: Sure
Me: Promise You won't get mad
, , , ,
God: I promise
Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do u mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late
God: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start
God: Okay
Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait
God: Huummm
Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call
God: All right
Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?
God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one
of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that
Me: (humbled): OH
GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me (embarrassed):Okay
God: Your phone went dead bcuz the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly): I see God
God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm Sorry God
God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me, in All things , the Good & the bad.
Me: I will trust You.
God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.
God: You're welcome child. I Love looking after My Children,

What is the use of prayers since god is said to be omniscient?

Its like a son that refuses to convey his needs to his father, hoping the father should know what he should be getting at every giving time, and a Child that constantly keeps the father informed of his ever changing needs.

Jack65:
Prayer doesn't work period!!! Nobody is listening.

Just because you haven't seen the impact of prayer doesn't mean it doesn't work; Sin, Curse, Evil dedication and some satanic forces are strong tools that hinders prayers hence giving the expectants the view that prayer doesn't work. The Lord still answers prayers.

We have read of great stories in the bible on the power of prayer.

What is that unique situation in your relationship or personal life that witnessed a turn around through the power of prayer?

Please let's keep it real, The aim is to encourage others and edify God not personal glorification.

rubi96:
my parents are from diff.ethnic groups, mum is urhobo, while dad is delta ibo. Right from childhood they spoke and still speak their diff lang to us and we learned both though they communicate in english.

It has been proven that children often emulate whatever that consider goodies to their parents, they will go for any language you throw at them (i.e, any language the household embraces).

afam4eva:
If your parents are from two different tribes then just learn your father's language since that's where you come from. Better still learn anyone that tickles your fancy.

Freesia:
It's kinda hard when both parents are different tribes

Really difficult if both parent are of different tribes, but i think the notion from afam4eva that "If your parents are from two different tribes then just learn your father's language since that's where you come from" might need to be agreed on by both parent.

moremi2008:
I speak both Yoruba & English fluently (and I got As in both Yoruba and English in my WAEC exams). Same thing for the rest of my family (in fact, my Mum LOVED making us read the Yoruba bible out loud during family devotions). My grandmother of blessed memory was adamant that we learn Yoruba as little kids and I am forever grateful to her for this. I am as posh as a Nigerian can possibly get without turning into an Old Ikoyi cretin so it REALLY annoys me when semi-illiterates think depriving their children of their mother tongue will somehow make them special and successful. It doesn't! But your kids will hate you when they grow up and can't connect to their roots because of language barriers.

@ Moremi, Superb is all i have to say to your take on the topic, some people are intimidated when they speak their mother tongue. Have u heard about people being called local chaps all for speaking indigenous language.

queensmith:
Nigerians and their bloody assumptions. It really does get annoying.

I dont need to bleach im naturally light but thats besides the point.

Bleaching is as fashionable as anything else and there is no reason to get hypertention over it.

If women can wear weave and men can get tattoos then why can people bleach?

The misconception that bleaching is anything to do with looking caucasion is the main bone of contention here.

People in their racist thought trails have carried something that has been done for thousands of years into a racial sense. Nobody is trying to look white people are simply trying to look rich. Tis well knows those that stay indoors in hot countries tend to be light while those that work on the fields will be dark. The poverty factor.

In the celtish times it was the same. So people used powder and creams to appear whiter. Its even still being done in countries like china.
Not everything is related to slavery. There are alot of issues we have in the black community, turning ourselves against one another for something soo trivial isnt helpful.

@ Queensmith,

I think the best way to get a balance argument is to visit it from both side of the coin, if we refuse to limit our self to only blacks in the topic in question we may be able to get a more open and unbiased rationale.

I have some Pakistanis, India and Spanish friend that does bleach for reasons known to them but they are of the view that skin bleaching isn't ideal.

The body of the topic is not to lay war or criticism on dark complexioned people because i have seen people of the opposite race working on their skin to become whiter.

moremi2008:
This is largely common in impoverished wannabe homes. They think depriving their children from learning their mother tongue will make them posher and more successful!

You are spot-on, the examples speaks volume.

Ibo Man: Whats a billion years to u?

God: Only a second!

Ibo Man: Whats a billion dollars to u?

God: only a coin!

Ibo Man: Can I have a coin?

God: Yes, wait a second!
