At least she was being honest and what is a 20yrs old boy even doing in a relationship sef , instead of thinking of how to upgrade his life he wants to add more responsibility to himself,mtcheeeeew.

Such a vile thing to say. Not surprisingly, you find nothing wrong in what the lady has done. Yesterday, a lady told me about how some guy asked her friend out, but the guy didn't even bother to spend on them. And continued to describe the guy in all sorts of derogatory manners. I'm now convinced the typical Nigerian woman, like you, is a product, or rather an antic on which multiple people have to bid for---with the highest bidder going home with his prize.

Oh, PoliteActivist, when I saw you decided to play the role of both "for and Against" I knew you'd end up In a wormhole. However, an exciting idea---- not knowing you exist. I just concluded an anime titled "Monster." It's a 100/10 masterpiece, so deep that Dostoevsky would be stunned.

It shares a similar theme; the 74-episode saga is too long to put down here. But it tries to intrigue the viewer's mind by steering the viewer to question their own existence. It does this throughout the entire plot, but even more, it is a psychoanalysis of one's self. Who are you? Are you what you are because you are? Or are you what you are because others say you are? How can you know what and who you are? Even if you say "I am," do others see you as "I am"?

Furthermore, is "I am" all there is to you? Or are you "I am" today and "I am becoming I am" tomorrow? This philosophical dilemma and the struggle for self-identity are narrated in one of the metafiction stories in the Monster series.

"Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a nameless monster. The monster was dying to have a name. So he decided to set out on a journey to find his name.
But the world was a large place, so the monster split into two on his journey. One monster went to the East. And the other went to the West. The monster who went East came to a village. "Mr. Blacksmith, please give me your name."
"You can't give someone a name."
"If you give me your name, I'll jump into your stomach and make you strong in return."
"Really? You'll make me stronger? Okay, you can have my name."
And the monster went inside the blacksmith's stomach.
The monster became Otto the blacksmith. Otto was the strongest man in town. But one day, "Look at me, look at me. The monster inside me has grown this large."
Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp. The hungry monster ate Otto from the inside. He went back to being a monster without a name.

He jumped into the stomach of Hans the shoemaker, but Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp. He went back to being a monster without a name.
He jumped into the stomach of Thomas the hunter, but Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp. And once again he was a monster without a name. [/center]

[center] The monster went to a castle to look for a wonderful name.
"If you give me your name, I'll make you strong."
"If you'll heal my sickness, I'll give you my name." The monster jumped into the boy's stomach. The king was delighted.
"The prince is well. The prince is well."
The monster liked the boy's name. He liked living in the castle. So even when he was hungry, he stayed put. Every day he was so hungry, but he stayed put.
But one day he was just too hungry. "Look at me. Look at me. The monster inside me has grown this large," said the boy. The boy ate the king and and all the servants. Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp.
[/center]

[center]One day, the boy came upon the monster who had gone west.
"I have a name. It's a wonderful name," said the boy.
The monster who went west replied, "You don't need a name. You can be happy without a name. Because we are nameless monsters."
The boy ate the monster who went west. Even though he had finally found a name, there was no one left to call him by it.

What a wonderful name it was, Johan......
[/center]

You see, Johan is the antagonist of the series. He believed himself to have been experimented on in a research facility by a psychologist and writer, Franz Bonerparta.

Franz wrote the poem quoted above. To others, it's a story, but to Franze, it's a tool that can strip any human of their identity. He tested this out in his experiments, which were somewhat successful because Johan, a subject of the experiment, was without memory and identity. However, Johan was a creation Franz had not anticipated. Instead of a monster, Johan turned out to be a demon- a demon capable of eating monsters.

But Johan, like the monster, faced the same challenge, "am I a monster?" He asks.

Johan believes the experiments carried out on him during his childhood robbed him of his memories and shaped him to become the "Monster" that he is. This experiment smeared Johan's perception of himself as a monster needing an identity. This monster has no name. This monster searches for its name. This monster sees its own reflection as a monster. Thus, the monster journeys to discover its identity and name.
[/b] Thus, the Monster is left without a name or identity. If no one knows its name, how could it be sure it existed?

Now, to go back to your thought experiments, if there is no one to call the "monster" by its name, does the monster exist? Of course, the monster exists. However, what I think would make more sense for your arguments would be if it were not leading towards existence itself, but to a personality profile, so to speak.

Not going to church, clean sheets, Sunday rice, movies and dark room.

I will ascend to heaven later this evening and discuss the bolded with the council of elders. One Nitzen is hiding and depriving the ministry of the Most High of her 10%. What's a Christian without the "body of Christ" where we congregate, praising the lord in unspoken tongues---shamala hamala..

She even adds "dark room." Tell us, what shades of grey are going on in there?

Have you tried IUDs?

Rokiat:
She deserve it for dealing with a low bum
Dustie like you.

Hopefully she is young and she will learn because some of them have no self worth and self love left in them.

Just imagine this fucker…y.

Low bum dustie 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

E no get weytin person no go see.

Raylight2:
Shut up!😬😬😬

Save that for your MOGs.

Allow her, she will come back.. Since she agreed to come so she could comfort you, then I don't see why she had a change of heart.

Next time, don't make it sound as if she's a LovePeddler.. It probably came out of your mouth wrongly.

She may not forgive you for sending her out like that. I'll advice you end the relationship,whatever it is.

Raylight2:
they didn't know how to act it. They must have practiced in a hurry. Confirmed miracles I have seen from crusades don't happen like this. You just jump up and started to run and rolling on the floor. Even Apostle Peter stretch his hand to help the man at the beautiful gate to walk.


In conclusion. NA ORIGINAL FAKE MIRACLE.

No crime if you do not perform miracles. People are just blinded by them so some African Pastors cash in on them. GOD bless Pastor Adeboye, Pastor Kumuyi and the rest of our genuine pastors who have not misled us by lying wonders.

Werey just wan throw shades. All of your MOGs are scam..

budaatum:
I've definitely not been angry and lost trust, and I can't be the only one I don't think, but I guess you got me with the "decent girls fvck around in 2024".

Makes me wonder, you poor dudes looking for wives today, you poors, if decent has so changed meaning in 2024 from what decent always meant, but I'm not in the least surprised considering you pi..., I mean men.

😒😒😒

Kobojunkie:
If the man and woman were united under traditional Law, does the man have any right to claim Paternity fraud given that many of our Traditional Laws recognize instead that every child born within a marriage, regardless of paternity, belongs to the man?

Which tradition is this?

Only you and your God know if you’re a real person or a troll. This was you not long ago giving testimony and thanking God that someone sent you 20k

Fast forward to today and 20k is now an insult. Because the sender lives abroad?. And I’m the one with warped view?

I won’t even bother trying to get it to make sense to you.
Clearly that’s a job for the brave and patient

If she didn't imply that the product was killing people in the screenshot below, she should go and explain what the asterisks between the letters stand for. Is the product kissing people? if so she should provide proof. Is it Kinning or kinging people, if so she should prove it! If you defame my product I have a right to sue you to court.

Where is the keeling please?

PastorAIO:
Deepsight I hail you, my brother. But abeg nor dey chook words why I nor talk inside my mouth. I don't know anything about 'the tipping point to nothingness'. Ineffability yes. I wonder at the ineffable, such wonder that words fail me to express it.

Long Long time Pastor.. How have you been?

Trust me when I say I don't mind them.

When I go around my farm planting pawpaw, my people ask me if I am mad, that no one plants pawpaw, that pawpaw just lalewus (sprouts from the ground by itself). Then my pawpaw grows and they tell me I must have used juju.

Juju, you know, is relative. 🤣

Ilekokonit:
Sex is not the first thing on my mind IF I am seeking a partner. When she sent a complete stranger an elderly man to beg me by giving him my number, I thought she had changed her ways and character and i decided to honour their invitation to a restaurant to talk things through and she knelt down in the restaurant to beg me to take her back and she herself asked me if we were sleeping at her house or mine that night.

It was a few days later in a telephone conversation that I realised that she had not changed much and she was still verbally aggressive and I skirted the issue as I did not want to tell her outright that we were not compatible but when she sensed what I was avoiding telling her, she said "stop beating about the bush" , and I was forced to spill it out and tell her I did not think we were compatible.

So, after that lucky escape, whenever I felt temped to call her, I quickly brought out my list of her bad characters (which by the way outnumbers her good characters) and before reading the whole list, I would have lost interest and i will just go and have a shot or 2 of brandy in the kitchen.

Women should learn to control their tongues when arguing with their partners b'cos some people are VERY good listeners and have a very good memory.

Life is too short to spend even a minute with someone whose idea of life is completely different from yours.

Eyin loro, to ba ti jabo, ko se e ko mo. Words are like raw eggs dropped from great heights; Once spoken, you can no longer call them back or ignore the mess they create when they fall.

You thought she changed her ways? Bros, make we tell ourselves the truth. The puna came free and you made Good use of the opportunity. You didn't wait to verify that she had actually changed before you decided to become intimate with her. Na man both of us be.. 😁😁.. Got that last twetwe before sending her her way---for all your money wey she don chop.
😂😂.. Bad guy.

Ilekokonit:
Na so I tell one WOMAN say I no dey do again because we are not compatible. She is too loud and uncouth especially when she gets angry gets possessed by demons.

You still use her. Why didn't you decline the sexual advances knowing you had made up your mind not to be with her again? She obviously thought things were back to normal.

pocohantas:
Women are not talking as if they are angels. Women are saying men should at least leave them alone since we all know women are not angels.

Men should marry men too. You should also know gay marriages pack up faster than heterosexual marriages. You didn't use that as an example because it doesn't fit your agenda.

Unfortunately, I'm restricted to my phone since internet has packed up.. But, there's alot to uncover here, especially when you consider that lesbian marriages have the highest divorce rates of all three.

Women are culprits of the very same "evil" they accuse men of in marriages including domestic violence. So, it isn't a "man" problem. It's a human problem. Let's not get into who the methods of homicide used among the different groups.

So, feminist should stop the hypocrisy and pointing fingers, and let's come to drawbaord and come up with a solution. Because, the way I see it, removing men does not solve the problem.

Haven't you seen a particular demographic of women making hit tracks on being baby mama's and having rich baby daddy's? 😂😂..

Men do marry men. When two inatetly aggressive creatures marry, what's the outcome? Higher rates of murder, as shown by statistics. Gay marriages have the highest spouse murder rates.

Oh Poco, agenda must agend. We are all politicians🤣.

It is has nothing to do with feminism. It is common sense to stay away from affairs concerning an institution you claim not to benefit from.

I'm assuming by "you, " you mean men. Since, I haven't made that claim. Plus, I don't support that claim either. If I tell you accounts like Wizrab, John_doe don block me, twice, you no go believe am. 😁 😁

I don't just do not support it for not supporting sake. I'm well aware of the benefits men derive from marriages.

However, it's worthy of mention that feminist make it look like "men are the problem of the world" when they also partake in the spoils of evil deeds committed by men.

"Men are evil"? You're free to go into the bushes and live alone. It's not by force to stay under the roof of concrete buildings.

When a woman out of the blue takes her three kids and drowns them, feminist say, oh, she had mental illness, it was her environment, raising children is not easy bleh bleh bleh..." When a man does the same, suddenly "all men are evil.."

I understand that from the view point of a woman, the most scariest thing on the planet right now, to her, is a man. I see where frustration is coming from. And, I respect those that make credible contributions to the movement on raising awareness to the dangers of being a woman. All concerns are valid. Unfortunately, both men and women are decentitized on ill-treatment of men in society.

So, from a man's POV, if women don't care about my problems, why care about hers?

Men get killed far more than women. This men getting killed aren't arbitrary, they are people's husband's, children, and fathers.

So, we need to reframe from "men are evil" to something that identifies the underlying problems---exploitative capitalism, increasing cases of mental illness, poverty, and so on.

If 35+ women are unmarried, why are men bothered? Shebi men do not gain from marriage?

I wonder too. Probably outdated cultural practices. For some, it's stupidity: As even educated people still chant the "women expire by 40" mantra. Ridiculous!

Men also get pressured to marry, I go to market often, and women ask me all the time, "aren't you married" or "where is your wife? "..😁 😁😁

I was watching on YouTube where the interviewee, a Chinese man, was complaining about discrimination because he hadn't yet married. He mentioned that it was the norm in China and he seemed sad about it. So, I'll say, both genders, unmarried, face descrimination, just that the female side has a louder speaker.

My post was just a quick jab at previous comments, and not necessarily the OP.

Homosexuals typically do not care about societal dogmas. People that could defy homophobia to marry do not care to stay together to please heterosexuals. They leave when they are tired and move to the next one. It is their way of life.

Well, I wonder what the consequences of that would be at a personal level and at a societal level, considering we already know the outcome of having single parents or having people stay long term in isolation. Not to mention the outrageous levels of STDi they carry about. Not a healthy lifestyle, at all.

Since Gay/lesbian couples aren't usually raising children, it's easier for them to break up on the stances, like "no longer interested in the marriage."
And the end of the day, we find that men are humans just like women.

Is there such a thing, as the perfect marriage? What is a perfect marriage?

Humans are funny sha. We strive better in healthy communities, but we continue to push individualism even though the side effects are eating up our society.. We are like snakes chewing on their tails. Humanity is weird.

delishpot:
It is you who is in denial. For ages, men and even some women have not allowed kids esp female kids grow up without sexually molesting them.
If I drag you to a shrine to swear that I am wrong, will you swear? Will you confidently leave your girl child with a male relative without worrying and hoping that she will not be abused?

You think women don't molest kids? Check the statistics, very similar rates.

The irony of it all, women-women marriages have a similar to higher divorce rates than heterosexual marriages.. 😂😂😂

See women talking as if they themselves are angels? Why do lesbian marriages have similar rates of divorce with the same complaints as heterosexual marriages? All this feminist wave is just wishful thinking, no different from the aggressive vampire booktok.


By the time western society wears off, Islam will take over. I'll see which B2 movement women will follow then.

The kind stories man dey read for reddit ehnn😂

delishpot:
Sounds just about right based on how men rape then from infancy. When they become adult females, they are broken hence I am not surprised that they become slots like you have said

lying just to feel right?

As you can see, Boko haram is one of the reasons we've jumped to that rank. shockingly, we are even better than the USA.

maureensylvia:
I'm not trying to be disingenuous, but I think you're confusing two different ideas. The first is that the Holy Spirit can use disagreements to challenge and grow our understanding.

How do you know this? Did the Holy Spirit reveal this to only you? Cause, from what I've read so far, the Holy spirit is supposed to move with one accord.

The second is that some interpretations of Scripture are simply more consistent with the overall message of the Bible than others. These are two different concepts, and I don't think they contradict each other. In fact, they work together to help us grow in our understanding of the Bible. It's true that there are difficult and challenging parts of Scripture, but that doesn't mean we should abandon our search for truth or throw up our hands in confusion.

1. The writer of the books didn't intend that every soul out there would interpret their message differently. The bias in interpretation comes from many factors:
a. The readers' cultural bias
b. The readers' frame of interpretation----- Theologians interpret scripture differently from Scholars, even though scholars have a better interpretation of the bible.
c. Religious background of the reader---- A Jehovah's witness will interpret differently to support their own bias, just like you're doing now.

The Holy Spirit teaches us through a variety of means, including scripture, prayer, and the community of believers. The Bible is a complex and multi-layered book, and different people can have different interpretations of its meaning.

The bible is complex only because it's a document that was written over the span of 1500 years. There are no multiple layers, instead, what we have are the different world views of different groups of people. Different people can have different interpretations, but the real deal is WHAT WAS THE INTENDED MESSAGE OF THE WRITER. That's what matters, not your interpretation.

So it's not surprising that two people could have different understandings of the same passage. However, I believe that the Holy Spirit guides us towards truth, and that the more we study and pray, the more our understanding will grow and align with God's will. So I don't think the Holy Spirit would deliberately teach one person something that is in conflict with what another person has been taught.

Are you saying that all interpretations of the bible lead us towards truth? What of the view of Yahweh being a devil as held by the Gnostic Christians? Hmm? Is that a fruit of the Holy Spirit, too?

Rather, I think the Holy Spirit works to bring about a deeper understanding of the Bible and God's will over time. The process of studying and understanding the Bible is like a journey, and we can all be at different stages on that journey. So even though two people may have different understandings of a passage, I don't think that necessarily means that one of them is wrong. They may simply be at different stages in their journey of understanding.

So, the idea or interpretation that Yahweh is a demiurge, a deity that deludes itself that it is the creator of the universe can be another viable interpretation of the bible instigated by the Holy Spirit?
Or that the disciple that rested their head on Jesus' shoulder during the Last Supper is Jesus' spouse as purported by the likes of Dan Brown?


What you're trying to do here is the very reason why your churches are flooded with pastorpreneurs who use scriptures to amass wealth, rape young girls, widows, troubled wives, and brainwash their members to do absurd things. The Holy Spirit causes confusion is a claim that is no where stated, insinuated, or thought of in the New Testament.


Mark 3:23–27
23 lAnd he called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.

Yoruba, Igho ,hausa. Funny thing is, 90% of Nigerian men are rapists. They also defend rapists too.
Read through the comments and argue with your keyboard.

"90% of females are slots. " See how that sounds?

1Sharon:
They defend rape when it comes to Nigerian men, but for indian and south african men, they have no doubts the rape took place.

The table for discussion is open for Nigerian men, but the records show SAians and the indians champion misogyny.. Nigerian men are some of the best in Africa with the least femicide rates. Go and verify.

maureensylvia:
No, I would not agree with that interpretation. While it's true that there are some verses in the Bible that could be interpreted in that way, I don't think that's a fair or accurate understanding of Scripture.

The Bible teaches that all people, regardless of gender, are created in the image of God and have equal worth in His eyes. Furthermore, there are many examples of women in the Bible who were leaders, teachers, and heroes of faith.

So, while some have tried to interpret the Bible in a way that supports inequality between men and women, I think a more careful reading of Scripture shows that this is not the case

Aren't you now being disingenuous? You say the Holy spirit could cause division so that the people may grow, but now argue that it's not "correct" to interpret the Bible as being misogynistic? Deliberately ignoring numerous instances where women, from the laws of Deuteronomy, are deemed "property."

On what grounds would the Holy Spirit teach apostle A that X is good, but teach apostle B, that same X is bad?

You lucky say you no dey chop ass😂

Most men don’t die from physical challenges.
Whilst Mr Ibu’s case is an exception, men are more physically fit than women.
Men mostly die from mental issues which are usually aggravated by women and their problems.

False.
