OLAADEGBU: How about proving the origin of Christmas trees?

Pardon? How does this convince me or anyone?

sandra anakebe: If you have ever had a crush on any local or foreign celebrity, then share the person's name with ur fellow Nairalanders

You nko?

I have o! Sharon Stone, Beyoncé, Kareena Kapoor, Toolz, and Eva Alordiah...Das all! (for now)

What a sorry sight (if it indeed happened).... Economy class passengers booing a First class passenger? Sounds like sour grapes to me...

I'd say marry them, but have their "mumu button"...

If my P.A can pick my calls, why not my wife?

Tolexander: 2007 news?
And the guy in the other thread made me feel the news is for 2013!

It's 7th of February, 2013.
Yea, the other fella made it seem pretty recent tho'.

Joagbaje: You cannot know more about iPad than the apple. You cannot know more about sex than the creator. He gave owners manual on how to operate it.

You can actually know more about iPad than Apple. That said, my question to you is, who is to be blamed for this 'abomination'? God - the designer, or the Devil - the opposition party?

@Op
God doesn't 'think' it is wrong, the authors and compilers of the bible do...#nuffsaid

I wish they'll listen but I know they won't. Smh

sylvar02: For we Yoruba! Its bad! Yoruba is made of respect...

Na him make us dey 'dobale' even while we're greeting an elder over the phone, ba?

"Egbon, ba wo ni" is not bad (to me o!)

Slap, just like that? U're either exaggerating or hiding something... Well, personally, I don't see the big deal tho', but I know some peeps can be extremely 'cultural' in that sense. But that slap sha!!!!!

Less people less bullcrap really!

Some people are not shy but just anti-social..And they seem to exhibit similar characters...#justsaying

ofilispeaks: Thanks @Infomizer trying to create a more permanent home on nairaland.

It's a great abode. But it always reminds me of einstein's assertion that stu.pid.ity is quite abundant in the universe. There are smart and knowledgeable people here, and there are 'others'.
Enjoy your stay buddy!

OLAADEGBU: You would have done better by referring us to where "Christmas" was prohibited in the Bible.

Nice try bro..But the onus is on you since you're trying to prove a point that I'm willing to disprove. I'll do the honours to satiate you tho'. There is nowhere in the bible that 'christmas' was prohibited simply because it does not exist in the bible!!
Passover, I know...Holy communion, I know...But christmas, who are you?
Good to know the church has been scheming since circa 01 A.D sha..

ofilispeaks: We marshal our top graduates from all across the nation and then we put them in a camp where things barely work and call it a national orientation. I take that back...mandatory national orientation - where our graduates are mandated to live in substandard conditions, get yelled at and shouted at by soldiers, and are made to put up with all sorts of deplorable conditions in hot over-crowded rooms, with toilets that barely work...that is, if there are toilets at all, in which case our top graduates are probably slinging shit over the wall. And we call in national orientation - orientation to what? SHIT?

Well said bro! The orientation thingy to me has been a blessing tho'. Everything I am today (and thus, will be), started taking shape from my first day on camp. That day was the first day of the rest of my life.
Good to see you on NL (we've got each other's backs on Twitter)!!

Shuo! E don reach like this? You go try o!

Is it me or do I sense that you already know why?
I understand watchu mean though. There were some fellas in my hood back then that I called 'bros' cause they were 3-5 years my seniors. Meaniwilly, they had younger ones (that I'm well older than) who 'slammed' names on them and the younger ones 'll be like "our papa no name dem 'bros'". They're even bemused at the too much respect a Yoruba guy like me shows. Tis a culture/upbringing thingy jare

Was actually expecting to come across that bible verse that Commands Christians to Celebrate Christmas (me sef sabi compose alliteration).

BTW, could it be that the shepherds were high on skunk? #randomthought

Definitely not STI-aversion. Maybe he'll be able to avoid the occasional "I've-not-seen-my-period" gist. Besides this, he's got nothing to gain (IMHO). Plus, konji go nearly finish am (that kinda konji that makes a man sneeze out sperm)

rudedough: When you die your body decompose just the same way your house rat dies and decay, you're going no where dude.

If God lives up above and your soul must travel to meet him when you die. Using your logic:

My soul would have to travel for over 705,000,000 KM.

An average man sprints at a speed of 15MPH.

If your logic is correct, my soul would run for [b]3,425 years at full speed just to see God.

SMH Christians are a very rare species to behold.[/b]

Well put bro! Just thought i should add that the soul would run for at least 3,425 years!

pc guru: Can't decide if you are being sarcastic or not; isn't it a failed nation that depends on God for solutions; why shud the President depends on God ? will God fix our roads and solve our problems ourselves; this is one of the issues i have with African mentality and Religion. anyway Jesus is relevant in our society after all Christianity to some point instills good morals and virtues in people that's if you can look past the Blood it has claimed though.

You response was quite germane. However, i feel that the mistake millions (minions) make is that they feel godless(aka unbelievers) peeps are evil and bereft of morals. It's not so.

Not to every one!!

rudedough: Who gave you the right to choose for everyone?

We all need JESUS OXYGEN.

As a matter of fact!! Oxygen works for much more people than jesus does!

Kudos to the minds that came up with this. Respect!!!

voltron: The Bible/Quran is the only book that seems to record history in myopia.. the accounts of the killing of 1st borns inthe search for Christ is only recorded in the Bible even when surrounding civilizations recorded the activities of the isrealites, even the killing of Egyptans 1st borns is not even in Egyptian History, the Parting of the Red Sea as well the census of qirinus which prompted Joseph to go to his home town Nazareth.. Every Census in the history of Judea and the colonized Roman Territories were recorded.. however the one account in the Bible where God will have us believe a census was conducted, is never recorded.. this is a common trend in the propagation of an infallible LIE... no body cares to read history to validate the Bible.. The Bible validates itself, irregardless of the contradictions... all is a MYSTERY of an unfathomable God.. yea right

Well said buddy!
AFAIK, nobody begs the question better than religious folks. For example, the bible is the word of god because it is written in the bible that it is the word of god...#BeatsMe

It will take a while, but stammerer go pronounce him papa name. #nuffsaid

A Ghanaian female deputy minister has been dismissed by the
country’s President John Dramani Mahama after she allegedly
said
shewill not quit politics until she makes at least one million
dollars.
Deputy Minister of Communication, Victoria Hammah, (pictured
above) was sacked today, a day after she was heard in a leaked
tape to radio stations saying she would not quit politics until
she’s
rich
The voice purported to be that of Victoria Hammah is heard telling
a female companion
“I will not quit politics until I make one million dollars. If you
have
money then you can control people.” She also criticized another
minister, the deputy minister of gender, children and social
protection, Rachel Appoh, in the leaked tape. She said “it was
useless for the deputy minister to fight Nana Lithur whose
husband is friends with former President Jerry Rawlings and was
President Mahama’s lawyer during the 2012 election challenge.
She cannot boast of 100,000 Ghana cedis or 100,000 dollars.
The Ghanaian government released a statement today
announcing
her dismissal, but didn’t give any reason for the sack. That’s how
politics works in Ghana. She was sacked for what she intended to
do and not what she’s done already. Nigeria should learn from
this. #dropsmic!

ofisa247: do you pray?

I'm more of a humanist...Maybe I do it subconsciously considering my upbringing...#justsaying

obi alfa: I think god has upgraded his internet connection so no worries. he can see my insults.

LoL!

@OP
Why would he?
He's not finished answering offline prayers, na internet prayers him go con answer?
Besides, did he invent the internet? Why should he meddle?

I want to assume you are using a Windows OS.
Press the Print Screen (PRTSC) button on your keyboard, then open the "Paint" application. Go there and Paste (Press Ctrl + V) the screen shot then comes up. You can crop to taste. I hope you get it...
You shoulda tried Google, you would have had a faster response.
