✓ Correct language is determined solely by what vast majority of people deem to be correct language. Example, "none of us are" is now correct when before it used to incorrect - because too many people now use it. Also, "momentarily" can now mean "in a moment" when before it couldn't.

What in the world are you going on and on about correct language? Would you please stop deviating already!

There are those still alive who have yet to arrive?

✓I was speaking with a lady colleague and she shared with me a story about her husband...
According to her she said she does everything,I mean everything for her husband...
From is sexual needs to food to respect to whatever you can think of...to please him
When she discovered/suspected he was cheating she went on to learn various sexual styles, even to the extent of watching pornography... just to make the bedroom game sweet for her husband....
This man still went ahead continuing the affair outside the marriage...
She threatened to leave the marriage and call it quits when he came back to his senses...
And became the family Man...
I can tell this woman is still beautiful, she keeps herself clean and classy....
My question is this, what makes a married man to commit adultery or cheat...just what...

Marriage does not bestow godlike abilities on men and women so expect that married people, even the one married to you could and would do things that every humans could and would.

Maeve7:
If a man can’t provide or provides only very little (for reasons he can’t control) and his wife does because she makes much more, what is the husband’s role?

I don't understand why anyone would ask this sort of question in the year 2025.

✓ If you don't have problem, you can see were i wrote the person also died after marrying someone else.

To answer your question the guy before he died always says the wife visits him in his dream and at times falls into trance seeing the wife telling him he promised forever.

The guy? So it didn't happen to you but even without the intervention of an expert doctor you are certain all that happened to him was as a result of his wife's death and all? 🤔🤔🤔

✓ You know EXACTLY what I mean, and you know I am 100% right.
BTW I have determined that you and Maxindhouse are not the same person. You registered this account in September 2007. That's 2007!! While he registered his in September 2020. Also I think he is a Jehovah's Witness while you're not...
Then again, that doesn't necessarily prove you're not the same person. Hmmm...

I am not a mind-reader for Pete's sake and you are also not one, so stop playing silly already! 🙄

gerizzim:
✓mister oga, hold what you ignorantly know and dnt know. I know people who benefit Frm some sane medical hospitals and where asked to pay as the treatment commences particularly emergency cases. a working colleague had an emergency surgery feb this yr.

Most hospitals worldwide ask for payment or at least guarantee of payment before giving any kind of services. This is considered standard practice in most every country. So what in the world are you still babbling about on about?

QuinQ:
✓ What has any of this to do with the fact that "CORRECT" LANGUAGE IS DETERMINED BY USAGE?
✓ Once usage has established what is "correct", the authorities and dictionaries will follow. Not the other way round!.
✓ If most people start spelling kitchen as kichen (without t), very soon kitchen will be considered archaic spelling, and kichen the correct spelling.
That's how language works!!!

1. Correct language is determined by usage? 🤔🤔

2. What in the world are you going on about now? 🙄🙄🙄

3. Nonsense! 🙄🙄🙄

QuinQ:
➜Established by whom? Language is by usage. Hence some things are correct in US but wrong in UK solely because of usage. That's also how Language evolves. 17th century English is different from today's NOT because anybody set up committee to change the language.

Human language has existed since humans began communicating with each other. The use of rhetorical and figurative language tools has endured for that long. These tools are not used by specific languages but rather by humans in expressing themselves across most human languages. So, this isn't about the English language.

Also, if you ever took time out of your particular religious delusion, you would find that the Bible contains several other examples of these parables, allegories, dirges, etc. It is all over the many books for those who are really curious.

honour7:
➜I have seen this before, You two made a blood oat, am I correct, if so, you have to call your parents you all should go to the village and perform some rites to break it. If you don't, the other one i saw too, the guy later died when he got married to another person, you have to be careful and break it before entering into any other relationship or marriage.

You have seen it before because it happened to you, right? Can you please tell us exactly how the ghost came into your house, all the way from the grave, to your home with your house key, I presume?

QuinQ:
... 3) Everyone calls them parables. Show where ANYONE called them allegories

. So, because everybody calls them parables, I should ignore established language rules in order to call it a parable too? Some of you are too far gone down the delusion tunnel to be rescued from it. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

QuinQ:
1. So who is God of the world who created everything, and who did he send to cleanse people from their sins?
2. Of course you do know, you're kust pretending mot to. Father Abraham even told the rich man he was suffering because he had it good on earth
3. My Bible (and all Bibles I have ever seen with headings) headline it "parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Yours call it allegory. No problem
4. No one has ever seen people who died long ago come back and living amongst people as themselves
5. Please explain how this has anything to do with this discussion
6. Give one example of long dead people come back as their old selves

1. According to the book, YHWH created everything, but then YHWH decided that when it came to men and the world, He would only focus on the people of Israel and the nation of Israel as His only inheritance. Is there a law or ordinance against YHWH doing that?

2. Please stop bullsheeting already! You are not making sense to me since I have instead made clear to you what I, in fact, know.

3. Again, what chapter and verse in your Bible tells you that the story is a parable... I am not asking you about the particular title specially inserted by the one who edited the pages of your own.

.... I am not in the mood to argue in circles regarding this. When you are ready to honestly tackle the subject, wake me up.

QuinQ:
1. Once God of Israel became God of the whole world, so also Christ
2. Once again you're being dishonest. You know full well (since it's obvious) that the message of the parable is that the rich and poor would trade places in the afterlife
3. My Bible calls it parable. Yours apparently is the only Bible to call it allegory. No wahala
4. People don't see people who died 4 years ago walking around
5. But you that read it understand the central message to be "people can't come back from dead"!
6. No group ever believed that someone can be dead and buried and after a while come back as themselves - or we'd have a bunch of dead people walking around

1. Well, YHWH, who gave Himself the title "God of Israel," never changed that title to "God of the world." There is no record of that ever happening in the Books of Israelite Scriptures.

2. I know no such bullsheet that you claim.

3. Where does the book tell you that the story is a parable, though?

4. This is about what people believed, and we know for a fact that many different cultures/religions believed in this idea; the Israelites, not excluded from that list.

5. Wait a second...so you are telling me that against even against the declarations of YHWH in His very Law of Moses— let's not worry about Jesus Christ of Israel at this point—, you literally believe what is written in Matthew 27 vs 50-55 did take place? 😩😩😩😩

6. I just explained that various cultures had their own tales of people coming back from the dead, some even after everyone else was dead and gone, but here you continue to assert that these beliefs were not held by any group. For what purpose is this?

MisterKennedy:
➜ Christianity is 100% real.
➜ The Bible might not have recorded how the apostles and disciples died but the Bible is the most realistic book that has ever been written.
➜ And it's all pointing us to our beloved LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST who died for us more than 2000 years ago to redeem us and restore us back to Himself.

1. Christianity is a sca,m same as every religion out there.

2. The Bible, which is a Book solely about the people of Israel and their God, YHWH, God of Israel, has nothing to do with Christianity, which is instead founded on the theories and doctrines created by bishops, most of whom were of Roman descent.

3. There is absolutely no direct connection between the religion of Christianity and the person of Jesus Christ or the many stories written of Him in that book. All your Christian connections are instead tales manufactured by the mostly Roman group of self-installed bishops, whom you point to as your church fathers.

franvincoop:
➜No insults intended but u believe Jesus changed water into wine but you did not ask if the wine emanated from thin air but you are questioning the existence of supernatural forces?
➜ I believe you can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. No matter what anyone tells you, you won't still believe.
➜ It's best to ask your father, mother or uncle and your Pastor. Maybe, when you'll hear from their mouth, you will believe. On the other hand, try doing 3 months volunteer at a mortuary and thank me later.

1. This isn't a discussion regarding what I believe or do not believe,though, since you don't know my beliefs at all.

2. Maybe you should stop trying to wake me up and instead put in more effort into providing evidence for your beliefs is what.

3. I don't believe in pastors and all the other mindfucked individuals out there. I believe in facts and data.

QuinQ:
1. Of course. Where did you expect God OF ISRAEL to send someone? To lost sheep of Iran?
2. There is no need for Lazarus in the story if it were just to show people can't come back from the dead.
3. The Bible calls it a parable. You can't know better than the Bible
4. Raised from the dead is not same as come back from the dead, neither is reincarnation.
➜ Come back means someone who died 4 years ago coming back looking exactly as they did.
➜ No group or religion believes that to be possible - that's what the rich man wanted from father Abraham

1. I like to emphasize this fact since we have 3 whole religions out there that believe Jesus Christ of Israel was sent to bloodlines outside of the one chosen by YHWH, God of Israel.

2. Jesus Christ felt there was a need to add the mentions of Lazarus and even of Abraham in driving His point home. Why do you reject His freedom to do so?

3. Where does your copy of the Bible state that the story of Lazarus and the rich man was a parable?

4. Huh? I think you are losing me since I am not exactly sure what you are getting at.

Again, the message is that no person would be sent back from hell or from heaven to warn the living of what awaited them on the other side. Jesus Christ of Israel, the only one who came back from the dead, did not come back to warn anyone but rather to claim His throne after He triumphed over death.

5. Seems you have never read Matthew 27 vs 50 - 54 before now.

6. Again, some groups back then believed in those tales. The Greeks, Babylonians, Persians, and even some of the Romans, Irish, etc., have tales of people journeying into the underworld and returning after a period. I just spent some of my morning watching some TED-ED videos on some of these tales, too. These are stories from many beliefs around the world. I could share some links to the ones I watched this very morning, if you want.

QuinQ:
1) You keep emphasizing that Christ was OF ISRAEL when everything was also of Israel including God.
2. You are not being honest. If that were the message why drag Lazarus into it?
➜ The parable would have been "a man died and begged that someone be sent to warn his relatives but was told it was impossible".
➜ Besides, whoever thinks someone can come back from the dead? Do you know any religion or group that believes that?

1. Because Jesus Christ made clear He was sent by His Father, YHWH, only to the Lost of Israel — the bloodline of Jacob. So, yes, He is Jesus Christ of Israel.

2. Lazarus was a character created for the story.

3. Again, the story is not a parable but an allegory!

An allegory is a narrative where characters, settings, and events represent abstract ideas, often with a hidden meaning. A parable is a short story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, typically with a more straightforward meaning. While allegories can be complex and require interpretation, parables are generally more concise and have a clearer, single message.

4. The same books speak of instances of people being raised from the dead either during the time of the Prophets or during Jesus Christ of Israel's time. The raising of the dead in the land of Israel was not an out-of-place occurrence.

5. Many religions believe in the dead being able to come back.

QuinQ:
➜Well, God was also God of Israel. So what?
➜So additional truth Christ revealed in this parable is that those who died won't come back while he himself said he was coming back?

1. Jesus Christ of Israel worshipped YHWH, God of Israel, and so would not have made pronouncements against that which had been declared by the God of Israel.

2. Again, the message is, "No one will be sent back from the dead to warn the living." Jesus Christ of Israel died, but He rose — of His own ability(He was not sent back by anyone)—, not to warn the living but to claim His throne as King over the Kingdom of God.

DemonSlayer:
➜I agree—you always have the most reasonable take, such a good head you've got on your shoulders. But could there be a third possibility where OP is just catching cruise?

There is that, of course. But given the fact that we are Nigerians after all, I think the story may be linked directly to either OP or someone around him. We like to pass on these dem-say-dem-say tales, which really are kinda sorta connected to someone down the line.

Cocolatti:
➜You claimed that the Ops experience is hallucination so sharing my experience won't change your opinion. Like I said earlier, you don't believe in it but I do. QED

Oh, please! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

DatIgalaDude:
➜ending your mum away is a temporary fix. Try and understand the beef between your wife and your mum. Is your mum mean to your wife? Make your findings. Is your wife just insecure and wicked.
➜ You can have have an ex wife and marry another but you can never have an ex mum. If eventually, your mum leaves the house, no relative of your wife should come over too. Do not be a weak man because of purry!

1. The goal here is to demean the wife, though rendering her reasons invalid!

2. Yinmu!

Cocolatti:
➜What do you want to know again? It is my experience and not yours. The problem is you don't believe in familiar spirits and I do. We can keep arguing till 2031 and nothing will come of it.

So, I first have to believe in these familiar spirits before you can then tell me of this experience of yours where you saw a live familiar spirit doing your laundry and cleaning your house? Isn't that convenient?

duduade:
➜I don't understand Number one question Who is the man of the house

Man of the house making the woman a housemaid of the house, abi?

Osashalom:
➜If your wife leaves, is it that there won't be other woman to marry? Some of you men are too weak. Your wife have scaled you and see that you are spineless. That was what gave her the enfontry to accuse your mom of witchcraft. If you were emotionally strong enough you should be the one to pull the divorce clause on her.
How can only child be asking if he should keep his wife and send his mother away?

Another woman to marry him with his mother as her burden as well? Una no dey dey realistic at all.

EnemyofGod3:
➜Please help me. My wife has given me two weeks to send my mother back to the village,or she will leave or end our marriage, she accused my mother of been a witch,of which I was angry with her that day,I almost beat her up for accusing my mother. from the day she accused my mother of been a witch, she has developed hatred for my mother. I'm the only child my mother Born,my old mother has nobody in the village to take Care of her,I'm afraid if I send my mother back to the village,my mother might die before her time.i love my mother so much and I also love my wife so much. Nairalander, please what should I do ?

Well, consider ending the marriage then, as she wants. And probably stay away from marriage altogether since you are your mother's only son.

Awon Okponu oshi!

Cocolatti:
read the Ops story again you will have a clue

OP's actually never said he saw his dead girlfriend doing laundry or cleaning his house. You, however, claim you have seen a familiar spirit doing those things in your own home. So, go ahead and tell us more of what you saw.

➜The cost of preparing a pot of jollof rice for a family of five in Nigeria has surged to an average of N25,486 as of March 2025, up from N21,300 in September 2024 — a nearly 20% increase in just six months.
This spike was highlighted in a new report by SBM Intelligence titled “Staple Under Stress,” part of the group’s quarterly Jollof Index, which tracks the cost of making the popular West African dish as a proxy for monitoring food price trends nationwide.
The report attributes the steep rise to the skyrocketing prices of key ingredients such as rice, pepper, onions, beef, and especially turkey — now one of the most expensive components of the meal.
“Turkey now sells for between N8,000 and N10,500 per kilogram, a staggering increase from N1,500 to N1,700 per kilogram in 2016,” the report noted.

A pot? Kai! 😩😩😩😩
