Taiwojon:

Well what you think cannot change nature or God plan for man.

Let nature take it course
And you repent from your sins. ......

Hell and God judgment await you if you fail to turn from your way-ward, gay supporting lifestyle.

Jesus love you

Amen to your prayers for that person.

Now the person is not a Christian nor church goer but claims any position on the issue of sexuality contrary to the person's is bigoted.
But on the flip side the person's position on that not being a sin is not bigoted.

Any argument or position from their camp is justified and human right and love and tolerance and acceptable and commendable for being out and proud (pride being a sin itself which precedes a fall)

But

Anything or anyone contrary to them is bigoted or a bigot, like I don't get!

People who support family unit, marriage, defence of martiage, in holding common sense, rational thinking, humility to learn and stand by their values, principles, facts and truths, biological truths, science, faith in God Almighty (the only Creator of this wonderful world and sole Owner of the sun, moon and rainbow),

Is a bigot, is hateful, judgmental, self righteous, living in the 15th century, is archaic, is under religious and African and medieval indoctrination, is a homophobe (fears homos, heterosexuals don't fear homosexuals, they do not agree with the concept. Phobia is fear of things like snakes, water and all that but not someone with such lifestyle. I don't agree that a man or woman should set out to be a single parent and spread hate against the other gender, does it mean I fear single parents? No! So would you say I'm single-parent-phobic? )

Really

You Flamemignon1 use all your intelligence, schooling experience, knowledge, access to internet, rationality and rational thinking, ability to use a communication device (laptop, phone or tab) to defend ignorance and outright liesssssss!? Look at your socket and plug! Look at a car when the owner is buying fuel

It's not just about Will Smith or Hollywood
It's the whole concept of LGBT +
It defies faith, common sense, science, pleasure, biology and everything that can progress the world.
That people are adults doesn't men they have absolute power and wisdom to do right, act right or make right decisions always.
That they are adults doesn't mean we allow them do what they like in their closet, in private or within their families.

Are adults who are married to others allowed to sleep with other people in private because they are adults? No!
Are adults who are drinking poison in private to commit suicide allowed to do that because they're adults?
Are adults allowed to say white is pink and what is a a woman because they are adults?

You may say, is it hurting anybody? Is that the problem of Nigeria? Are heterosexuals not committing sins in adultery, rape and fornication? Yes and yes, so why add to the problems of this world? When we are working against the errors of heterosexuals and Nigeria's economic and the on going strikes? Why add to these problems? Why?

Nigeria is crumbling cause of poor leadership and all some Nigerians here and abroad can agitate for is gay rights and freedom of adults to be sexually perverts? Because it's in private and they are not hurting anyone? We should mind pur business? Na so Nigeria take spoil like this. See the lady on the other thread that said the coffee cup she left on her table when she was sick remained there till she returned! What a world! No be so God make am say make we dey face our own because say we be adults. No we're a community. Watch 2 ants when they meet, they intersect most times. But we say no oh make we mind our business to every extent including condoning sin and ignoring sin in our lives, those of loved ones and our neighbours. Na them be the priest and levite wey see that man for ground wey only the good Samaritan com help.

Wow just wow.

I choose to use my education, faith, resources, access to internet and on and on to contribute to a better world or I keep shut. Life is hard for many let's not add to it with stupidity, sin, crass madness and perversion. Abi you no dey use gas or buy garri?

I thought anal cancer, cancer of the mouth and AIDS and other stds would have been some people's wake up call already

Did I say so? Learn to read and understand. I am responsible for what I say, I am not responsible for your poor grasp of English.

A child should be raised with both parents, a child should be raised knowing he/ she was wanted. A child and society should not be me made to pay the price of poor irresponsible choices and indiscipline of parents whether father or mother. A child who has not witnessed the proper dynamics of a heathy 2 parent family is by likely to end up damaged and dysfunctional. children of violent homes, single parent homes or parent abandonment by one parent hide a lot of pain, they often vow to correct it but they are often unable to because they don’t know otherwise themselves having not witnessed what it takes to have a stable family. You can’t give what you don’t have.

Gay bisexuality, criminality, gangs etc are symptoms of this dysfunction it’s and it is prevalent amongst black Americans because the family unit is broken down. It The black American family is probably the most dysfunctional family unit in the world. It is very rare to find a black American family with father and mother intact, even rarer to find 2 or 3 generations that were raised in a 2 parent environment, no separation, no divorce. Most of them are products of single parenting, unknown fathers, adoption, separation, women with multiple baby daddy,s men with multiple baby mamas etc etc.

You're so spot on

I beg who go help me find these 2 songs and their musicians

1. Cost of living is so high x2 transport cost so high, who do we complain to? No one to complain to.
(I remember the video of this song. It was in Lagos amidst danfo buses)
(The man also sang one song with him inside bubble bath)

2. Emily look what you've done to me...
(I remember the video was about how a young wife got boys to attempt to kill her older husband for his money)

Those good old days sha.

Like a number of people here, these songs remind us of some loved ones passed

Did you know??
Christianity, religion and God is an embarrassing human practice of convincing the mind to ignore common sense, logic, reason and evidence while blindly believing in ancient fairy tales.
It encourages it’s followers to value faith over facts and reality. It makes it’s followers proud instead of being ashamed of their ignorance.

Religion where Christianity has been placed under whereas is the sum total of humanity and a way of life, is key to all civilisations - now and always. Religion can be closely referred to as a constant action. E.g. you take your vitamins and fruits religiously, you bathe and brush your teeth religiously (or unfailingly).

Christianity - this by itself was coincidentally coined by those who scorned and mocked followers of Jesus in a city called Antioch. Christianity was used as a way of describing those who followed the right way of Christ. Just like in the secular world people who follow Beyonce coined bayism, or those who follow naira Marley call themselves marleans.

So Christianity is a term strictly and sincerely for those whose lifestyle, actions, belief, hope and confessions lie in Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God Almighty.

It's not for me typing this post to say I'm an American or I'm Swahili or I'm a pilot or I'm the Minister for finance in Finland - all these are lies because I'm in my house somewhere in Nigeria with a green passport and beautiful dark skin with no knowledge of airplanes or finance! So if you see people who identify or say they are Christians and they are opposite of Jesus Christ then they are lying and are not even with an oath.

God, hmmmm who am I to write about our awesome God?

Faith over facts, logic, science and what your senses can ever tell you!

In August 2021 Hurricane Ida came ashore the coast of Louisiana and forced winds to change the mighty Missisippi river's flow to the opposite direction for several hours!

Responding with awe to a great supernatural occurrence is usual, but it should be followed with humility, submission and faith in the Almighty God Who made it so.

How would you explain a woman without womb giving birth, or the blind having his sight restored, or a girl being saved from attack, and on and on? Miracles, favours, testimonies.

My dear the blood of Jesus Christ speaks of greater things

Happy birthday.
Cheers to 40 and 40 plus more.
Happy birthday to me also 48 hours ago
God bless all August born

Hasty generalization

April396949:
It's inspiring to see the people of Edo State coming together to protest for the rights of the less privileged. The slogan, "Let The Poor Breathe," is a powerful call for justice and equity. These protests shed light on the struggles faced by the impoverished and demonstrate a collective demand for change in societal systems that perpetuate poverty. It is important for governments and policymakers to take notice of these demonstrations and work towards implementing effective measures to alleviate poverty and address socioeconomic disparities. This movement serves as a reminder that it is our collective responsibility to ensure that everyone has access to basic necessities and the opportunity to live a dignified life.

Very well said, I applaud you.
I also applaud all those who made the sacrifice, cancelled engagements to be there.
Those who printed banners, organised traffic, provided water and championed the course.
Those who spoke, got public address systems, microphones and speakers.
Also those who stayed home to pray and cheer on.
E no easy.

Meanwhile I heard the Labour guy lost his seat in Delta over party technicalities.
I also heard there was a severe explosion in Ore.
Finally I heard Wike lost his cool and Ganduje took his lot maturely.

If only I could say what's on my mind in all of these

Nigeria is being repositioned?
Who took us from the right position?
Please who or what displaced Nigeria?
Who or what derailed Nigeria?

Buhari's government including Osinbajo kept alluding Nigeria's woes to Jonathan being the immediate past president at that time.
Why is Tinubu not doing so for his predecessor?

Ooooooooo oh its the same party. Hmm

So the repositioning Keyamo is talking about was the one caused hmm 9 years or 19 years ago no not from 2015-2023...

Educated people

It's only about time...

Wickedfacts:


When he was fighting apartheid and racism, what were your Pastors doing?
Talking of Jesus Christ, are you aware that the Church of England was actively involved in slavery?
Many Christian figures held and owned slaves. Is slavery good and is it that they didn't know Jesus?

Open your Bible and read what true religion means. It is not building cathedrals, driving luxury cars and giving fake prophesies.

,

You've gone round to the same starting point - Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ did not, did not show the example to, did not send anyone, did not inspire, did not approve that -
▪men build cathedrals and palaces and castles for GOs, Bishops, Venerables or Missionaries
▪men should drive luxury cars in His name and get them by His name
▪men should make or give false prophesies in His name or for His name
▪Christians in any century or generation should have slaves
▪people should segregate and be involved in apartheid
▪Christians should be racists or ribalists or bigots

It's like blaming Atlantic ocean for the death of those whose car plunged into Ethiope river or River Cross or Lagos lagoon! There is no correlation. Last weekend my friend's phone was stolen and the fraudster sent us messages asking we send money cause he has stranded. He opened a palmpay account with my friend's names. So a number of us paid to help him. Only for us to find out that he was not the one. Now are you going to blame my friend for the activities of the fraudster? The fraudster used his name and stolen phone. So many people are fraudulently using the most holy name of Jesus Christ to commit and perpetuate and preach and celebrate sin. But do you blame Jesus Christ? Oh you want Him to silence and annihilate all them false preachers and followers? Hmmm then you go accuse am say Him no get mercy.

I love Harry Belafonte and His songs, just like Sidney Poitier and Martin Luther King Jr. But the best prayer we can ever offer to God for ourselves, our loved ones and men like these is that we, they be saved by the blood of Jesus. If not all our works, good works, civil rights agitation, songs, movies, and theirs will only be for this life

may he rest in peace, amen.

Teeroyzimma:
You would think most of the rascals on this nairaland are 18-30 but most of them are 45+ insulting people and their tribes up and down

If this is true then it's unfortunate cause the level of hate and immaturity is really worrisome.
But why behave in a manner not fitting ones age?
The 'rascals' here who are above 40 should rethink.
That's it's a faceless forum does not call for it.
It's a small world and identities can be revealed eventually.
Imagine say you banter with your teacher, doctor or landlord here and you no know

My first car.
I learnt how to drive with it and then owned it.

This topic is beautiful and on point

Please receive your flowers and applauds

lavender marriages.
It occurs mostly with men. Most lesbian women don't even bother to marry.

No matter how woke, civilised, educated, liberal, accommodating, understanding, minding your business, it's their life, I don't care attitude, progressives, cultural shock, cultural change LGBT+ must not be engaged in, supported, promoted or practised.

Homosexuality and it's like are unnatural, sinful, harmful and demonic. There is no pleasure, procreation, peace or dignity but pain, humiliation, damnation, destruction, insanity and unfruitfulness.
Please pray and don't just wish it off.

The devil and his kingdom and United in purpose to destroy humanity. They are not fighting God Almighty and His kingdom because they cannot. So their enemy is human beings. They are unleashing all they have so humans can never enjoy God's goodness in this life and in the world to come.

Please b careful, don't use too much book, novels, theologies, movies or documentaries to delude, deceive and deny yourself of God and His truth.

I pray for this woman, her husband and baby girl. It is well

I'm not in support of the post you quoted.

But I would like if you check out this post made by one guy on Bukayo Saka just because of hatred for Yoruba and Tinubu.

https://www.nairaland.com/post/120779258

That is terrible. I didn't even know of this thread. Hope it didn't hit FrontPage? Too bad of the guy
I can never support tribalism or such hateful post and gorrila picture to depict any human being.
Tribalism goes both ways.
That someone spews hate at another does not justify that person to do same.
I can never support that anyone tries to vilify another using depictions of animals or gutter language or disrespecting innuendos. Thanks

calling Nigerians 'migrants' in their own country?

You gerrit! When people and underage cross from Niger to Nigeria to vote they get their PVCs and even NIN promptly. People from certain regions don't complain. People from this country and outside come in trucks, lorries and trailers and stop at the by-pass and other entry points, get registered and collect PVCs and no one complains. The young ones insist that they must wash your windscreen and get money. We don't complain or ask them to return to their places.

Ungrateful apes

Now a human being is now regarded as an animal. A human born in the image of God. This is what leads to genocides - Hitler's Germany and Rwanda's Hutus. Hutus called their own fellow Rwandas 'cockroaches' we watch the movies and condemn the actions and killings by the Hutus. We condemn the gas chamber of Hilter against the Jews.

But alas, we let politics divide us and cause many to lose their decorum, morality, faith, humanity and senses. We repeat what we condemn in others and forget the speck in our eyes. Others are the bad ones not us.
We let hate!

Those we claim to side inter-marry and have businesses in every region. They attend each other's ceremonies.
But alas we degenerate a once worthy forum as nairaland was 2006 till about 2009 or thereabout, to a platform of hate and chaos. Tribalism here stinks more than racism faced in Germany and other foreign nations by some Nigerians.

How can anyone justify hate and tribalism?
Many of us have been victims of tribalism but we cannot take a whole tribe and hate based on the tribalism we faced from a number of their tribesmen. If not, many of us would never socialise, work with others or live with others.

You, yes you who hates one tribe in Nigeria, you have friends, fellowship mates, neighbours, you have workmates, bosses and employees who are from that tribe. You've dated from there, married from there, served there, vacated there, attended burials and weddings there. Infact you have benefited from that tribe. But you hypocritically come to a public forum and spew HATE... What a shame

For all of us who are neither tribalistic or from the WAZOBIA group, please remain neutral and show love. Maybe they in their "majority" can learn from the minorities to live and let live and love without tribalism. It would be sad if a non WAZOBIA comes here to fight the "unuseful" wars and tribalism these folks come here to fight on 99% of threads here
