Many of you Igbo guys are not smart.
I am a Yorùbá and I voted for Obi.
Many of the educated people in Lagos are rooting for Obi.
Only the thugs and the half educated voted for Tinubu.

Learn to love and respect your hosts. You don't have to be educated to think smart.

I apologise for that statement. Dont be angry for voting right. Nairaland has been a place of tribal war for a long time. I logout for almost a year because of that. I am Igbo and I stay in Akure . I have seen the main issue of tribalism is lack of exposure. There is a clear difference between Nigerians who stay in Lagos and Abuja to other states.

I believe you have not met God or you do not know God. God can do all things. Those miracles are little of what God we do in our lives if we truly believe.

First, I want to apologize for the statement insinuating that Catholic Christians are less Christian compared to Pentecostals. That was not meant to be a generalization. The reason why faith is my principal concern is because, as a Christian, there are certain ethics and codes of conduct a person adopts and practices that guide their actions and decisions. It is the crux of the matter for me.

Many of the comments are asking for elaboration especially with regards to other aspects besides spirituality. Some of the red flags in terms of his attitude and behavior that give me cause for concern are how he relates with ladies; I found that he cheated on me a couple of times. Some of my friends who are married assure me that it is nothing to worry about because “men will always be men”. However, I feel like overlooking that means ‘settling’. Also, he tends to act like we’re competing for career success. I’m a banker and he works with a company and is well paid. From comments he makes when I make attempts to pursue growth, like take courses or attend conferences to network, his response shows that he thinks it’s a waste of time and resources. I don’t always expect him to give me financial support, even if encouragement. But he feels I should be content with my current status. It scares me that he may staunch my progress after marriage.
I’m no saint myself, but I know marriage is a lifetime affair and just because I didn’t look before I leaped into the relationship doesn’t mean I shouldn’t at this point try to make amends.

Dear Op, it is necessary to look before you leap. Don't mind many comments castigating your observation. The way of a Christian is totally different from the way of the world. (1cor3:14) Marriage is a committed one needs a divine guidance. Give yourself to personal prayer to seek the will of God either to GO ahead with the marriage or not.
Many of the commentators failed to understand your concern. Being in Catholic or Pentecostal churches does not mean that your a christian. Many people attend churches as a result of be brought up in that environment but the life of the spirit which makes them Christians is not in their life.
I can say that are emotionally attached with your fiance and that is why is you are finding it hard to pray and it might hard to understand clearly what the Holy Spirit is ministering you until you separate emotion.
God is always wants the best for His children.

Sir, you feel guilty because you're grieving the holy spirit in you. (Eph 4:30 ) And if you continue to indulge in the fornication you conscience would be seared ( 1 Tim 4:2) It is a dangerous way to go. Please cut off the friendship with this your banker's neighbour and surround yourself with the word of God and be renewed by the spirit (Eph 4:23).
Surround yourself with people that has genuine fear of God and always engage in the bible discuss with the opposite sex when tempted to wade off the desire at that moment.
God will give you the grace to stand for Him in Jesus name. amen

ImaIma1:


Sexual sin is not the only sin people face consequences for. So you can see a virgin committing sins that grieves the Holy Spirit too. Sex is not the only sin.

And, the non virgins you mentioned probably dated different people and were faithful to each one of them while in the relationship. It doesn't mean they were sleeping with multiple men at a time.

So she also has also cultivated the habit of being faithful to one person. And it could be that she was unlucky with her choice of men.

On the contrary, a man that has had multiple partners in the past can get married and drop the habit because he has seen it all. While a man who married as a virgin, will easily fall into temptation when faced with a very tempting one.

I am not an advocate for premarital sex, having multiple partners, etc. I am just someone that has seen both sides that has formed my opinion. I am also someone who sees reason before judgement, just like Christ.

Please there is nothing like faithfulness to one's sexual partner as a Christian. Once you are not faithful to the Faith you profess, then you're not faithful.
If a man/lady is not faithful before marriage (keeping his/her body chaste) how would you expect him/her to be faithful after marriage. Luke 16vs 10.
I might be wrong but your statements are portraying the opposite of Christian virtues as you claim to be one. You lower the standard of God's word.

Your body is fearfully and wonderfully made to show the glory of God. The almighty God specifically created this body uprightly that every man/woman would manifest his beauty here on earth but men have sought out many inventions. Eccl 7vs 29
They have said with Our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is Lord over us? Psalm 12vs4. They love flattering,leasing and vanity.

That is the mindset of an unregenerated man/woman having no hope and does not know that the salvation of his/her soul is costly. He trusts in his wealth, and boasts himself in the multitude of his riches and he forgets that he cannot by any means redeems his brother, nor give God a ransom for him. Psalm 49vs6,7.

He hates the way of salvation because his deeds are evil and fear to bring it to light lest he be reported. John 3vs19-21. His heart is ensnared and overcharged with surfeiting, drunkenness and cares of this life, and so that day comes upon him unaware. Luke21vs34,35. And man goes to his eternal home. Eccl12vs 5

Give your life to Christ this moment.
Acknowledge your sin.
Believe the work of salvation for you.
Confess your sin.
Repent of them.
And live for Him in holiness.

Beloved sister, anyone asking you for sex before marriage is not a christian but a carnal person. He might be attending church constantly and could even be a worker.
Please, run for your life and don't even consider him for marriage.
Continue with your prayers and studies. God makes everything beautiful in His own time

OgiPrincess:
I was 24 years old, living in a room and parlour self-contain. Working two jobs in Lagos and a Christian.

I met him in church, he was my first, he had no job, I helped put his CV together.

I've been alone for so long I had a messed up idea as to what love truly is and what belonging should not take from you.

We were together for 4 months only. Everything happened so fast from never being with a man sexually to having an abortion six months later.

I followed my acquaintance home from work that morning. I took a pill with an alcoholic bitters and inserted a pill in my vagina... A full bladder woke me up from sleep but on getting to the restroom I didn't urinate. I felt a huge lump drop off my vagina, I couldn't bring myself to look I flushed.

What followed was almost two weeks of bleeding and excruciating pain, faintness, weakness and numbness. I didn't feel relieved...

Prior to getting the abortion. I had come on Nairaland to look for anyone who wanted a baby and shared a little of my story but I was faced with so much doubts and name calling I deactivated the account. I also updated my WhatsApp status asking if anyone wanted a baby but the person that was interested wanted to know if the parents are good looking. The deal fell through...

I'm an unplanned child, my mom hated me because of whatever my dad put her through and it caused me a lot emotional abuse. The reason as to why I'm out fending for myself, the reason as to why I decided to be chaste but the circles were unto me...

I didn't want to have a child I'll come to look at and hate because of the father. I felt I'd rather not have a child ever than have one and put them through what my own mother put me through.

I believe you are a christian. The guilty you're feeling is because of the spirit of God in you. Please don't sear your conscience with hot iron but go back to calvary. Seek the face of our Lord Jesus in forgiveness. 1 John 1vs 9, 1 John 2vs 1-2.
The salvation of your soul is important than anything. Remember the woman accused of adultery in John 8: 1-11. Jesus told her "go and sin no more".

Please, run away from it does not matter folks.

Ifyyy25:
My dear it’s too much, the nasty things I read online about single moms depresses me, red pill and the rest, I’m doing very well, I’m from a comfortable background and my family gives me a good support system, but mentally and emotionally the negative things I read online drains me

Please don't believe on what you read always online. Many people are fake on social media and are quick to judge. You made the right decision by not aborting and try to find happiness in your decision and not on what people say.
We all made a mistake in life. We were all general children of disobedience. It is only the mercy of God through Jesus Christ that makes us righteous.

@Op

This is an addiction that has power behind it and you cannot stop it by your own power. It is ease said that done that once you make up your mind, you will stop.

Firstly, pray for God's mercy and turn your life to Christ. It is the mercy of God that gives power over the spirits that are behind this addiction.

Secondly, constant study of the bible and always confess what the bible said about your situation. e.g I am not under bondage to sin, I am to flee from fornication, I am crucified with Christ etc

Thirdly, free from appearance of evil. You keep yourself from friends and acquaintances that will make you think about sex. Don't stay alone, always busy, delete all the sex related scenes from electronic gadgets, stop you data subscription for now unless you have an urgent business that needed you online, read books etc

You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you

Always back your prayers with positive confessions.
Believe that your case is different and you are born to fulfill a purpose.
Please consecrate your life by living a holy life and forgive if you have anything against person (s).
You and your family need an altar

Always pray for them and God will touch their hearts to see that you did all in ignorance.

Stay in the grace sister

op
sorry for the strain relationship with you dad.
I think your dad saw your earlier bad habits as a child and tried correcting with canes. Not that he does not care from the beginning, he did. For whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives. But if you be without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are you illegitimate children, and not sons. (Heb12:7, The same is applicable to our earthly fathers.
However, perhaps your dad was/is angry because your behavior was appalling to associate you as his son. The is the cause of verbal abuse since he can't hit you again with objects.
Please op see from this angle, you're precious to him and he does not want you to turn bad and you can see that he pays your fees but can't advice again, he believes that you have chosen your path to be wayward.
Finally, thank God you have turned a new leaf. You can still warm yourself to his heart by continuing in this your new path. He observes and loves you. He do care!

@ kiddo01

I think you you should mind what occupies your time always, perhaps phone, job hunting, relationship etc all these defile a man when not properly guided.
Be careful of what you consume online many of them are not edifying to our spiritual lives e.g romance in nairaland, pornograph etc
In the church where you worship get closer to brethren that will help build you up in faith. Never mingle often with church goers- they abound.
Secretly build your prayer life, study and meditate on the word. Have a place of serious prayer and studying the word, morning, afternoon and night.
Be blessed
JESUS is ALIVE

Doctors in the house, a colleague of mine has been in severe pain for quite a number of months. It started like an acute pain but was not frequent; perhaps two or three times in day when it started last two years (January,2018). Then, last year it frequency increased and he went to hospitals and the doctors could not diagnosed anything but he was given drugs and injections.
However, with the help of the drugs he could eat because the drug was subsidizing the pain. But on 15th of July, 2019 the pain went chronic and the drugs and injections were not effective to subsidize the pain.
Note also, due to the pain he was restricted to a few food like pasta, indomie, pap etc because any other would be impossible.
In addition, the pain is like a constant fire in the stomach and also coupled with frequent belching.
He has gone to different hospitals in different parts of the country to no avail.
Pls, house what could be the cause?

op,
you are the problem not your sister. You were badly raised and your behavior is demeaning. I wonder your feeling (ITK) to the extent of opening a thread because of your sister. You are just pure shallow in reasoning and know nothing. You lack wisdom. Go and learn one!

Hmmm! Some comments?
If you care to know; porn leads to masturbation and the end effect are fornication, unwanted pregnancy, STDs etc.

OP, you need to open up to your younger brother that you know about his addiction. However, don't condemn him but try knowing why he engages on it. He's too tender to be watching porn. Try as much to identify his friends perhaps they introduce him to it.
More so, always allow him to engage other responsible kids in outdoor games maybe boredom of being lonely caused him to find solace in porn.
Finally, always pray for him. It is by God's mercy that he will overcome!
Shalom!!!

Hmmm! Black man! I think we're not ready to change this country. The "unenlightened" northern Nigeria will still be in charge of the country leadership space in next 100 years. Imagined? Glorified V.P position is causing rift between the south west and south east but nobody has heard any problem of who to vote between North west and north east. Divide and rule is always the game plan. These people in leadership positions don't care if you are Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, etc and they don't carry religion on their heads but they will use these two tools to divide us.
Alas! Their children went to the best schools outside the country and fill the best job positions within the country, yet, the few data will subscribed is to fight their wars.
The little we ask any government is security firstly before any other thing. Still the poor man is killed everyday from north to south yet the leaders don't care but the stupid youths are always there to defend them. Sometimes I wonder the university we graduated from because these our leaders have brain washed us that we don't reason like graduates but like illiterates!
Nigeria is a confused nation with most uninspiring youths!!!
The bondage is much and freedom is far from us!!!

Lesbianism is as the result of perception and upbringing which transcends to addiction like masturbation. To quit starts with definite acknowledgement that you need help and after that you start renewing your mind for positive things. Reading books, online media talk and chat that would arouse your emotions should be avoided at all cost. Channel your energy to positive things and move away from your lesbian friends and build friendship with sincere men that have fear of God. Don't go for sexual partner for now but friends that genuinely care and love you.
Finally, the power of God can break every yoke. Seek Jesus and acknowledge your weakness.

When grace speaks every other thing falls in place.#graceandfavourofGod

Anyone that has come to Calvary must have the definite experience of first love. A pure desire to serve God in holiness and righteousness. A love uncontaminated with worldly lust and pride(Rev2:4).
What is now your first love? Social media, wealth, pride, uncleanness,relationship, fear, church-work, religious debate, family, children etc. Some of these are not bad but have they stolen your genuine love to serve God?
Oh! Have you forgotten how you used to come to the garden of the Lord (quiet time) alone while the dew is still on the roses? The joy you shared with Holy Spirit as you tarried there, which no other person has ever known.
REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE! (Luke17:32)

bujebudanu1:



Pay less attention to the unnecessary things your parents say.

They talk to make you stronger , work hard for you to be successful.

All parents are like that in one way or the other

@Lizakon001
sometimes our parents abusive words is the way of strengthening our purpose in life.
Don't take it too hard on your dad because he's trying to teach you perhaps in wrong terms. Always tell him that the abusive words are not good for his children but calmly.
And, remove the thought of not going home far from you and always be a good girl so that your parents will always be proud of you.
God bless!

Everyone that has come to Calvary must have this experience - first love. What is now your first love( Rev2:4)? social media, wealth, pride, marriage, sports, family, sexual impurity, uncleaness, Relationships, fear, church-work, tithes, Religious debates, pastor's good book, children etc. The list is unlimited but time will fail me.
Oh! have you forgotten how you used to come to the garden (quiet time) alone while the dew is still on the roses? The joy you shared with the holy spirit as you tarried there, which none other person has ever known .
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (Matt6:19).
Holiness and Righteousness are the divine call to all believers (Luke 1:75).
What is the essence of a church without holiness and righteousness?

Reality11:


Can you paraphrase?

I once believed that the existence of God was a hoax and that the reality of God could not be proven.
But there are things you can hardly find words to explain but there are; such as the love of God, joy unspeakable, peace that passes understanding etc.
Unless you witness that you can never believe their existence.... sharon
