Christianity EtcRe: I'm Seriously Sick & I'm Fasting. If I Use Drug, Is The Fasting Still Relevant? by Johncuppa(m): 1:24pm On Jun 13, 2021
Igbojihadist:
it is
If it is dry fasting, the sickness is a normal thing. It will still happen like that any other time you start. It's always happen the night of the first day to the night of the second day and disappear the following morning.

So, if it about sickness, nothing will happen but you are not supposed to die because of fasting if your strength cannot contain it.
You can always fast other time, but life you see is just one o.

psychologist:
I first heard about nairaland many years ago when I was having a discuss with friends about young entrepreneurs and one of them mentioned suen osewa and how he is a drop out and yet created Nigeria's no 1 forum

What really made me registered was because of one brother in church, I usually sit close to him in church, each and everytime when the pastor is teaching or the choir are ministrying, man is always on nairaland page (rccg P.O.R) I still don't known your name or have we spoken before, but if u see this post mention me grin
So Seun dropped from School and then from Church.
Google brought me here
Just discovered any Google search about Nigeria and Nigerians redirected me to nairaland.

Well-done Seun.
RomanceRe: Please Help My Relationship Is Crashing by Johncuppa(m): 8:47am On Jun 04, 2021
prezidob:
I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. Honestly he's such a sweet guy and every lady's dream man. We're both course mates in the same university. We love each other and have pledged to get married after graduation. I'm a very beautiful lady as there's no day gone by without a toaster.

Because of financial difficulties, I took a job in a club as a waitress and recently, secretary to my boss... combining both work. I go to meeting with my boss to plan for the organisation of the club and I do come late and sometimes I sleep over.

My boyfriend reprimanded me for late nights and I told him that he's not my father and should not try to control me. He is so jealous!!
But the truth is he doesn't hide anything from me. Throughout the lockdown he was there for me.

I don't like the work but it's the only way to get by since my parents are not helping and my boyfriend is a student too.

How do I convince him that I love him and I will not cheat on him?

He doesn't want me to do the work neither do I. But we can't help it.

Please your opinion matters a lot to me as it will help me manage my situation. I don't want to lose him.

CareerRe: Bank Job Or Federal Government Job? by Johncuppa(m): 11:28am On May 17, 2021
Nitrofx:
Bro the best thing you will do for yourself is going for the bank job. You will gain lots of experience and you will understand how the financial economy and monetary system really works. You will be exposed to stock trading and even the insider tradings activities of hedge funds and investment bankers. If you are smart in the banking sector you will become an indispensable and even leave the banking sector early enough to start your own firm. Consider the risk involved in serving in the northeast and exposure to the curropt system in FG jobs. With the current change in global system, financial literacy is the best exposure anyone can get right now. Working remotely is also very good as the time and age we are in right now too much movement here and there is not safe. Be wise and go learn the banking systems, insider trading, market making, stock market manipulation and tools used to effectively trade the stock market. Your billionaire status is sure in the be as rest future.
The kind of nation we found ourselves has thought us to be consumer instead of producer even when we have means to the latter.


And to think the country dwindly economy has not helped the hard working ones is another thing.

If only we have a working and reliable economy policy, your advice is second to none, except that Nigeria is unpredictable.

Foreign AffairsRe: The Banner On A Ship Carrying Jewish Refugees To Palestine In 1947 by Johncuppa(m): 5:25pm On May 16, 2021
ReubenE:
Egypt and and the Arab league is largely responsible for the ordeal the Palestinians are facing...
Those lands were not stolen, majority was acquired through conquest after the Arab-Israeli wars

Israel only expanded its grip on Palestinian lands (formally a British mandate) after the defeat of the Arab coalition in 1948 and 1967.

If the Arab league had allowed reason to prevail when the UN Resolution partitioned that land to Two States (Jewish State of Israel, and Arab State of Palestine) in 1947, perhaps by now, Palestine would have been a thriving country on their own with her own army.

But Egypt and the Arab coalition felt Israel was too small and feeble. Egyptian Generals even boasted that a war with Israel would be like a parade from Cairo to Tel Aviv, that Tel Aviv would be overtaken in two weeks.
They opposed the UN Resolution for Two-State Solution by invading Israel, a battle they lost.
Israel ceased more lands far more than what was given to her by the UN after the war. Can Israel be blamed for doing this? The answer is No, the the land is a war bounty.

Syria lost the control of Golan Heights, Jordan lost the West Bank, Egypt lost the Gaza Strip after the 6 days war (3rd Arab war with Israel) in 1967.
Israel obviously and overwhelmingly won the war and consolidated its grip on Palestine.
Can Israel be blamed for controlling a land they conquered through war? No, cause in war, everything is fair.

The Two-State solution the Palestinians and the Arab League opposed vehemently in 1947, is what they are now clamoring for, but unfortunately, Israel and her western allies especially the US is no longer keen on doing that.

One very important fact to note is that, no country is a good country in the International System of power play.
Palestine would do the same to Israel if she finds herself in that position because international politics is always about National Interest.

Russia has been annexing Ukrainian lands (Crimea, Sevastopol etc), Russia has been making attempts to annex Georgia, Turkey has been muscling Armenia etc. No country is a good country, it is always about self and National Interest.

PS:
The land Israel is occupying is not entirely Palestinian land. They have historical ties to that land right from the time of Egypt and Babylonia.
Israel only ceased Golan Heights, West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza Strip after the war with the Arab Coalition
This is too much!
Thanks for the enlightment.

[quote author= post=101751677]When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Let us break this down to the lay man on the street for better understanding....

The phrase refers to the importance of adapting yourself to the customs of the people who are in a certain place or situation and behave like they do.

Example of Use: If you happen to visit a Buka (Restaurant) in Ibadan and you were served Abula (Amala, gbegiri and ewedu), then you asked “Are you sure we should eat this with our hands?”
Your Answer will be : “Why not? ... When in Ibadan, do as the Ibadanians do.

Hmmmm. ...... now that is what Faith is. I love the wife absolutely. She was so sure of her assertion and the powers of God to make her assertion a reality. Boom! And it happened. This is what I've been expecting in this case. To be honest with you, I didn't believe until when they interned him today. It was an opportunity to put God's power to display. He's capable of all things. I'm pained seriously. I miss papa idahosa. I find it difficult to believe this is God's will. It just can't be.
Idahosa didn't raise all the dead bro.
Jesus was told of John the Baptist death, He did nothing to it.
God gave us Dominion, yet still remain high in Power and Authority.

We have the sworn verdict of His promises while engaging the principles behind them to get all the results thereof, but miracle especially death comes from God.
Once we've tried the faith combined with prayer, whatever follow after is His will and unquestionable.

Miracle son, not because of any illness.
The mother used to give birth through CS, and the family was scared of furtherance until the man became man of God and beg God to intervene, and as a result gave birth to the last two without CS, thus him and Leke became miracle sons and him be the first before Leke.

Stop twisting the Bible to suit your desires. God hates divorce. Divorce is divorce no matter where the marriage took place. So God lives only in the church? I hope you also realize that they pray and sing in the court before the marriage? God was very much a witness there. Finally, learn to read. Read his third point to see where Registry marriage was mentioned.
Ok, thank you, saw the court part.

Court marriage is not a problem, divorce is quite encouraging than going to meet at the altar.

It is not too late for her to stop the marriage.

Yes, the court that binded also gave room for divorce. It is better than living in a marriage of sorrow before going to altar.

My point is it's never too late

ireneidiva:
The registry marriage is the one with the real certificate. The church marriage in this case is just to fulfill all righteousness. She is already marriage. She can even get a divorce.
Court marriage is a formality and allows for divorce, only church marriage put covenant into marriage and divorce forbidden as commanded by God.

She can still call it off before putting God as a witness

By the way, I didn't read the court marriage part.
Where is it?
