RayRayZicc:
heard those girls in white gowns are disastrous

What makes them disastrous? What did you hear?

There's something the Italians call "thunderbolt". You can Google it. Yes, a serious spark can develop at first sight. That spark can lead to something more serious. Or not.

If it's one person doing the adoring, he or she is likely to become resentful some time, not so?

Pidgin2:
How did they prepare it?

I can't recall. I left the village as a kid. I can't even recall what it's called. If I travelled that way and saw it I could ask my mother or anyone about it.

Does anyone on here believe in the existence of the Akashic records (Book of Life in the Bible)? Has anyone assessed or tried to assess his?

Pidgin2:
It's good for conception

I see. It was abundant where I grew up.

Seun:
I have no problem with deism. Practically, it's not very different from atheism. I believe in "REASONING backed by FACTS and EVIDENCE" too.

No. Deism is fundamentally different from atheism.

ThePortlander:
There are more women than men., the ratio is 10 to 4

Nope. For birth, there are 107 boys to 100 girls. For actual population, it varies across societies, but by world average it's the same or 101 men to 100 women.

Where did you get your 10 women to 4 men from? No country has it that bad!

othenok:
We are pretty judgmental by nature. Hard for people to understand another's pain. This lady lost her parents too early and was probably seeking love and affirmation in her ex.

It's strange. She was cheated on by someone she gave her heart to. She was betrayed and treated very badly. She's clearly the victim. But her fellow women are here "dissing" her! I'll never understand human beings.

othenok:
Poor Toke! I'm glad she has finally found herself. I sincerely pray she learns from her mistakes and understand that no human being can ever be her source of happiness.

You're right. I hope she moves on and finds happiness. But, trust me, it's hard to remember and be rational when you're smitten with someone. It's like a virus in the blood.

But I'm shocked at the comments here. Why do NLers hate this lady?

Justnora:
Can this lady just move on and leave that man alone... the pity party has to come to an end

Your post makes no sense. Just saying.

ali1saidu:
With d way baby girls are born this days, i agree with you.

Huh? There are thought to be 107 boys to every 100 girls born.

sunnyt1:
The topic clearly talked abt the economical view nt comfort, im kinda shocked that most of the responses hv bin on comfort.

To the question, economically, its better to navigate tru lagos via public transport ask working class adults, most of them park their cars at home then use public transport bcs of traffic, fuel, shorter routes to destinations etc

This has bin the source of my view that its nt financially intelligent for some people to buy cars in lagos, most car owners only use them on weekends, for visitation on saturdays then church on sundays, so whats the point commiting a heavy financial arsenal on an asset/liability u might use seldomly. if u must buy a car, consider a not-too-costly one, u wil rarely use it

Bt for comfort and safety, its beta to have and drive ur own car

Fine point. Lagos.

If you live in Ikorodu or Berger or Ketu and work in the Island, BRT would be good for you. They're not available everywhere, though. Private cars are more comfortable but if you're caught in a nasty holdup you may wish you can leave your car there. Public transport drivers do your dirty job of navigating bad roads and bad holdups for you.

I saw this plant quite a lot back in the day. Can't recall its use. How do you know it's medicinal? What does it do?

sneezeemek:
You get CBN for your head? I will chose the money joor...

Ha, you can't be so sure naa! Some women bring their husbands tons of money!

Kalatium:
I don't think you yourself knows what is a complex question fallacy.

Lol. Ok, we’re making progress since you now, at least, have a faint idea of what I’m talking about. Almost all your questions contain the fallacy; in fact, your asking questions based on “facts” premised on the gospels which are themselves under scrutiny makes your entire post an exercise in complex questioning. But I’ll use just two specific examples.

#3 If Jesus preexistence is false, why was he exalted among other Jews, why was he called the son of God or and second person of the trinity?
This wrongly supposes that Jesus was accepted among the Jews and that those you are asking accept the Trinity story. And who called Jesus the son of God?

#6 If Jesus did not resurrect from the dead, why was his body missing? If you say the body was stolen where was it kept or buried that his body was not found?
Where did you get the missing body story from? The same gospels that are under scrutiny, yet you use that as a point in your argument as if it is an established fact.

Some men na bastard !!!!!

No be small one o!

sisisioge:
I swear! I cook well and even go a step further to present well when I serve but would rather have someone else do the cooking. I don't like staying so long in the kitchen, would rather cook for the year and stock the freezer abeg or not even bother at all!Thank God, I'm not so fussy about food although I'm a foodie


To the topic, I agree. However, we are in Africa, a man would be doing himself a grave harm if he marries a bad cook. This is because he most likely isn't a good cook himself, it is expensive to eat out all the time and it is totally unafrican to hire a cook. Your example where the best chefs in the world are men can be easily traced to the western worlds where most families actually eat out. The few ones that cook are either very poor or above average comfortable.

It wouldn't be a bad idea where the man and woman both share the cooking. In fact, it will be really nice but we both know that's a dream with a generic 0.000001% probability of occurrence. In Nigeria, for a long long time more to come, mommy's personal space will include the kitchen!

So, being a bad cook is terrible but surely shouldn't be a criteria in deciding on a spouse. It is a skill easily learnt.

Cooking competitions in Africa are always won by men too!

Anyway, you're right about the realities in this part of the world. Not that cooking would feature much in my criteria for marrying someone. I mean, it's great if she's a great cook, but that is not one of my irreducible mininums. Shebi before I got married, I was eating?

Oocc:
I am a BSc holder with a second class upper. I don't have a job. My last job as a driver, came with a salary of about 30k. I worked hard and happily too, tho I lost it. Back to joblessness.

80k salary for OND qualification is very fantastic! Your friend is very lucky and favoured by God. He should grab it fast.

#I hope I'm not offending God, but I think he has favourites!

@bolded. I think it's far more complex than that. I don't know if you like poetry but Alexander Pope offers a good perspective in his Essays on Man.

MyMouth:
Useless waillers!!!!! Is justice Abang the first judge to have his judgement upturned by a superior court So if the supreme court upturn this judgement tomorrow, do we now call for the arrest of the court of appeal justices?

I wonder!

Makaveli08:
Give sources that disagree that this is the scholarly consensus , don't just say it's a stretch. What do you mean it doesn't gell with the rest of the text?

I was being charitable when I said "stretching it". No such scholarly consensus exists at all. I don't have the sources off the top of my head, but I could find them later once I can find the time. Yes, it doesn't gell. BRB, hopefully.

amross16:
Maybe she should invest in some edible panties and bras, they come in a variety of flavors and sizes. Hopefully, he would develop a taste for those instead of chewing on her lingerie. Wondering if he would still like eating her lingerie after being worn for a few days, ugh! Maybe she should start tearing off his boxers or pajamas--two can play that kinky game.

That's what I was going to suggest. She needs to buy them edible undies. Lol.

ajensly1987:
last week i wrote a thread about my new girlfriend who could not hide her virginity and promise to give it out only when she is married.

Last night because of Konji: i had to carry out the diagonisis to confirm if is true that the center of gravity is still intact. She resist my attempt at first, but after much caressing, and lovely talks she was camp for me to take her to theatre (my bed).
I told her to be camp like a patiant who is been diagnose by a Doctor. I use my fingers and open(not remove... o) all the Undies to the last one ( painties) i then inserted my middle finger(not up to my di*k) into her: oh God, she was already wet. The was no barrier, i mean no obstacle, i keep on fingering her, her voice increases in that lovely tone, the more i continue the higher she scream without minding if my neighbours are hearing her. She was struggling for me to remove my fingers from her Pu**y, so i did remov my hands.
She was crying and i ask her: why do you choose to lie to me? Why do you tell me you are a virgin when you are not. She cried the more. And told me i call her a liar that she has not mate any man before, she also told me her pu**y is paining her. She wanted to leave my room in anger, i did all i could to camp her down so that she will not think am a Bad boy. She told me she wont be able to sleep because i say she is a liar: i tried to tell her that i have not deflower any girl before so i withdraw my statement i also beg for forgiveness.

I walk her to her house around 10 pm when i call back around even uptil 1 am she was still awake.

Please am just thinking loud is she realy a virgin? Because i have not deflower anyone before. I was thinking something will block my fingers from entering inside the internal Instruments. Please what else can i do to confirm her virginity.

How old are you? Well, nobody can answer your question, but there are two things.

1. You can't always really tell. A girl may never have had penetrative intercourse yet there is no barrier; that is, the hymen isn't intact. It may have something to do with the sort of exercises she does. It may just have happened.
2. People lie about this sort of things. Every day.

Makaveli08:
The Scholarly consensus also says that Josephus did originally say something about Jesus and that the core message goes back to Josephus.

"The general scholarly view is that while the Testimonium Flavianum is most likely not authentic in its entirety, it is broadly agreed upon that it originally consisted of an authentic nucleus, which was then subject to Christian expansion/alteration. Although the exact nature and extent of the Christian redaction remains unclear, there is broad consensus as to what the original text of the Testimonium by Josephus would have looked like." (Wikipedia - Josephus on Jesus)

Skeptical Biblical Scholar Bart Ehrman agrees :

"The big question is whether a Christian scribe (or scribes) simply added a few choice Christian additions to the passage or whether the entire thing was produced by a Christian and inserted in an appropriate place in Josephus’s Antiquities.The majority of scholars of early Judaism, and experts on Josephus, think that it was the former—that one or more Christian scribes “touched up” the passage a bit. If one takes out the obviously Christian comments, the passage may have been rather innocuous, reading something like this:

"At this time there appeared Jesus, a wise man. He was a doer of startling deeds, a teacher of people who receive the truth with pleasure. And he gained a following both among many Jews and among many of Greek origin. When Pilate, because of an accusation made by the leading men among us, condemned him to the cross, those who had loved him previously did not cease to do so. And up until this very day the tribe of Christians, named after him, has not died out." (Did Jesus Exist : The Historical Case For Jesus of Nazareth, pg 17)

Ehrman also adds the following when dealing with the claim presented by his student Ken Olson that Eusebius forged the passage :

"Olson has made an intriguing case in his article, but I am afraid—as impressed by him as I am—that it has not held up under critical scrutiny. The responses to it by such scholars of Josephus and of early Christianity as J. Carleton Paget and Alice Whealey have been compelling. There is in fact little in the Testimonium that is more like Eusebius than Josephus, and a good deal of the passage does indeed read like it was written by Josephus. It is far more likely that the core of the passage actually does go back to Josephus himself." (pg 18)

I have no time to dig up stuff right now, but "scholarly consensus" is stretching it. In fact, there is nothing of the sort. Erman agrees there was interpolation, attributing no more than "the core of the passage" to Jesephus, but he then goes ahead to reach a strange conclusion about what it may have read as even though we are dealing with a portion that clearly does not gell with the rest of the text. That's his view, though. There are others.

Kalatium:
So what are you suggesting

Saying, not suggesting. What I said is that your questions are bad questions. I, for one, won't attempt to answer them. They contain a fallacy, the fallacy known as "complex question". I suggested you Google "complex question" if you don't know what it is.

Kalatium:
Jesephus never said anything explicit about Jesus. His account of Jesus is only a sentence long

Yes, just a sentence. The one scholars believe was interpolated. And a contextual reading indeed suggests interpolation.

OZAOEKPE:
TINUBU wan scatter this country ba?

I am really trying to see the sense in your post, sir.

Naijaboiy1:
[color=#1980BC]I asked a question and it was nothing other than that! When did I say it was wrong Oga? [/color]

Read your question again. Now, imagine you're someone else and ask yourself how you would read it.

Kalatium:
Why complaining or is his account unreliable?

Jesuphus' chronicles are generally reliable. But the presence of "Jesus" in Josephus' account is of dubious origin.

Kalatium:
The questions are complex abi

No, that's not what I mean. A "complex question" is a logical fallacy. Google it.
